I'm just saying you don't have experience with business and that you're just repeating things that other people have said without comprehending it. If you're running a company, then I'm clearly wrong and I’ll take my brickbats. But I don't think you are.
I could agree. It boils down to “you have to use your brain, and not try to invent and follow blind some rules”
Did you decide what to do for a living "based on care for the whole?" I suspect like most people it was mentally looking at a Venn diagram intersection of "what am I smart enough to do?", "what do I enjoy doing?", "what pays me the most, or well enough that I can do at least as well as my parents?"

How many people who get into surgery would still do it with all the same education, testing, training, and licensure requirements if it paid $100k/yr? My guess is not many. If you're in a highly litigious state in a high-risk specialty your malpractice insurance alone could be more than that.

It's not surprising to see smart people leave risky positions with pretty objectively bad work-life balance for more money, less stress, and better WLB.

Disagree, Electron-based apps are known for being memory and CPU hogs; if we want our laptops to run cool and for batteries to last a long time, we need to move things to native code.

I think the "new protocol" example is particularly good one - things like IPFS run complex daemons under the hood and might access gigabytes of data, while their interface to browser is relatively simple: a channel which takes small requests and returns medium-sized responses. It's ideal case for moving to native code.

(Of course it has its own downsides too, like losing ability to run same codebase on the web. So far, I've been avoiding Electron's usage by running web versions instead - Slack-on-the-web is just as featureful as Slack-in-Electron, but shares memory with my main browser. But for other applications, native code should be a plus)
Good point, didn't think about that stuff falls off ships pretty commonly.
Amazon's solutions to 1% problems are the next batch of cargo cult corporate solution speak that we're going to have to deal with.

I agree with this as a possibility for general doctor visits.

I already mostly see NPs for my checkups. If they aren't sure, then I can jump through the hoops to get a Physician.

It works well and I get plenty of time to discuss things during my appointments.

EDIT: I still think my original point may stand for specialists however, we'll have to see how it shakes out and what healthcare systems under more stress than ours decide to do in the near future.
It can offer an advantage over the built-in caching, but it depends on your exact access patterns. For example, if you are running ClickHouse on multiple servers and accessing the same reference data, it's more efficient to cache that data in a centralized location (like Regatta) instead of on the disk of each individual instance.

Philosophically, our goal is to build a standard that can be used in these kinds of applications moving forward, so that application developers don't need to build streaming over and over again and users don't need to learn how to configure each individual systems' caching.
How does this compare to Amazon's own offering in this space, the "AWS Storage Gateway"? It can also back various storage protocols with S3, using SSDs for cache, etc. (https://aws.amazon.com/storagegateway/features/)
Yeah! I think I went there back in 2004.

> It’s good to develop standards even if the vast majority of people won’t adopt them

I'm not sure I agree that his standards are that good though. I mean, there's a limited number of standards that the community in general can pay attention to, and you still have some responsibility in not channeling energy into something that can't be upgraded to meet the unexpected needs of the future.
You may not touch the brake pedal but the brake pads are still being used to make a complete stop (this is how regen braking systems work, at low speeds regen is not effective so brake pads are used for the last few feet).

You’ll use wear out your brake pads way less, but they are still used very frequently (every time you make a complete stop in fact).

> I think there's plenty of demand for cheap EVs. But there's a problem with US manufacturing not being able to deliver those.

How much of that has to do with the USA's extreme needs for range and size?

There are places I'd be happy to drive a subcompact with a 300km range (eg. the Byd Dolphin), but most of the USA that kind of vehicle wouldn't be safe or practical. That's an awful lot of expensive battery-mass the Byd Dolphin doesn't have to pay for.
Sure but the pads are still being used frequently even with regen braking.
And Siemens SolidEdge is totally free for hobbyist use.
It depends on what you mean by crash-consistent. I would expect that we handle crash-consistency at the client fine (since it is the same crash-consistency of NFSv3) and craash-consistency at the server also fine (since we are able to detect using etags what version of an object is in the backing data storage). Tell me a bit more about what you're thinking.
But tcp/ipv6 is API compatible with tcp/ipv4? You can even accept ipv4 connections to a ipv6 listening socket if you have a ipv4 address assigned. The issue is ipv4 is not forward binary compatible with ipv6 because you can't fit more than 2^32 addresses in a ipv4 packet.

But yeah if you are a large bloated enterprise like amazon or microsoft that owns large amounts of ipv4 address space and expensive ipv4 routing equipment there is not a ton of value in switching
These are cheap "city" EVs with small batteries and slow charging. They have all the compromises and annoyances that people don't like about EVs.

The desirable EVs have 2x-3x more range and charge 3x-4x faster. That completely changes the equation, because that makes them good enough to be the primary/only car. Even for people who don't have a charger at home, even for people who need to drive long distances.
I’ve heard replacing an EV sadan’s battery is typically ~$10K (capacity matters of course).

Also, fwiw, our home batteries (sold at profit, with lots of expensive other stuff and
install labor) were about $20K, and the same capacity as our small car.
It’s an amazing truck and you’ll never go back to ICE!
> Taking one single family home solar does not provide a measurable environmental impact in aggregate.

In order for large numbers of homes to go solar, individual homes need to go solar. Are you saying we just shouldn't bother with solar and EVs because not everyone is going to do it? May aswell just stop donating to charity too right?

> Someone has to pay off that loan...

I think the OP is probably paying for the loan themselves. The subsidies are just a small part of the total cost.

> probably dumping toxic waste chemicals...

Again, I think everyone would agree that it'd be better if the solar panel production process was totally clean, but the fact it isn't yet doesn't stop solar being a net win.
At least one important thing they could agree on.
In the original (1861) article (big red link halfway down that page), Figure 2 (the tower reaching above the surface) is described primarily as a ventilator to draw away “smoke and foul air”. He had thought about it.

Atmospheric/pneumatic railways were still a popular idea in the mid 19th century. The Dalkey and Paris – St Germain atmospheric railways had each had over a decade of service before closure in the 20 years before Chalmers’ patent. They obviously had their own, considerable issues, but would have reduced the ventilation requirement.
No it is exactly the same. If people can't afford to live in mansions, then it makes no sense to build them. Nobody will buy it. It is a demand problem.
Fiber, as in Fibre Channel (FC, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibre_Channel ), not fiber as in "optical fiber" instead of copper cabling.
And you still don't escape having to go to a gas station every few weeks, and maintenance twice a year. Those 10 or so hours per year don't seem like a lot but after having enjoyed EVs for 6 years now, that's the one of the main reasons I'll never go back.
Now you have to find a hotel with (working) overnight charging. These are rare in the USA epecially outside of major cities.
Passing data from camera to OpenGL broke my mind. The code is still far from what I'd call nice, but feel free to steal anything you want!

Once I verify that debayering still works (I originally tested it years ago), GPU progress will mean calculating various statistics - the color balance, brightness, contrast for focusing, histograms, etc. Then feed them to control algorithms to adjust the camera controls.
Your blog mentions QuickJS, which I believe is the mentioned engine by Fabrice
My sentiments are very similar, and I'm glad to read someone else articulating it here.

Edit: Are we missing something?
This quote summarizes the main secret sauce to me - once they generate a wrong token/phrase, the whole answer goes south - and it basically explains why the whole CoT approach works - prevent LLM from generating a wrong answer with 2 tricks: 1) ask LLM explicitly to generate intermediate steps instead of a final answer and 2) use beam search (filtering from several answers at each stage) to reduce the risk of picking a wrong answer even further.

Quote from this paper:
“ Moreover, they (VLM) frequently deviate from a logical reasoning toward conclusions, instead of presenting a conclusion prematurely and subsequently attempting to justify it. Given that language models generate responses token-by-token, once an erroneous conclusion is introduced, the model typically continues along a flawed reasoning path.”
I was nodding along with your post until you brought out your numbers (I agree fully with the broader point). For me, any car above 15k or so is very expensive - I've always bought used and drove them into the ground. I'd love an electric car but it's not in the cards for my family until the total cost of ownership gets down to 2-3k a year or so.

This is something I've always found fascinating about materialism (I can only speak to the US). The messaging and feelings are incredibly similar whether your budget is 10k or 100k. Very easy to slide up the scale slowly and feel like you're still living small with a bulging budget, or to choose options that are beyond your means and so stunt financial growth.
Does it mean I can use Lambda + SQLite + Regatta to build a real pay-as-you-go ACID SQL storage?

Based on the other replies here it seems like it's to differentiate taps vs mouse clicks, keyboard events in js don't have a screenX or screenY property (you can run this in your browser console on this HN post to confirm):

(() => {
const logEvent = event => console.log({
coords: [event.screenX, event.screenY],
type: event.type
});
const input = document.querySelector("textarea");
// use "keydown" instead of "keypress" to detect all keyboard input instead of just character producing input
input.addEventListener("keydown", logEvent);
input.addEventListener("click", logEvent);
})();

Type in or click on the reply text input and you'll see that the coords array is undefined for all keyboard events. I haven't tried this equivalent on a touch device however, so not sure how it's handled there.

It's pretty unfortunate that we've landed here. Hordes of venture-backed companies building shareware-like software with an "open source" label has done some severe damage.

Great call out. Some kinds of data, like ACLs and specific kinds of metadata, don't live in S3. Full disclosure, we don't support ACLs today (but plan to soon). We keep file system metadata in the durable cache. For some files (where users haven't changed permissions, etc), we are able to release that cached metadata when the file is no longer in use. For other files (where permissions have been changed by the user), that metadata must live in the cache long-term.

We selected NFSv3 due to it's broad compatibility with different compute environments. For example, Windows has an NFSv3 client in it, but doesn't have an NFSv4 client. There are lots of enterprise workloads which needs simultaneous access to file data from both Windows and Linux, and supporting NFSv3 was the easiest path to support those workloads.
Specifically, SWAT teams didn’t exist until the 1960s. I’d wager their escalated use against civilians in their homes likely coincided with the War on Drugs in the 1980s.
The argument that the grandparent is making is that the U.S. Supreme Court recently created legal president that only restrictions on firearms that have similar laws that were enforced during the creation of the Second Amendment can be considered constitutional under the Second Amendment. The argument that that means only firearms similar to those available at the time of the passing the Second Amendment sounds largely similar to the thinking.

And be careful about brining the First Amendment into that... the First Amendment as it was understood by its creators was not about your write to say anything you wanted without government response, it was about your right to publish your own newspaper (or broadsheet/advertisement) without the government issuing you a license or collecting a tax (both of which the colonial government did).

The second amendment was ratified in 1791, and just 7 years later (1978) the Alien and Sedition Acts were ratified by congress, in large part other silence critics of the federal government by making it illegal to say "false, scandalous, and malicious" about it (with the exception of about the Vice-President). And it was absolutely used as a political tool, and this was approved of by the Supreme Court at the time.

So I don't think that anyone really wants this horrible president that the modern Supreme Court has yoked us with. Unfortunately, given the election results, it appears we are going to be subject to these horrible ideas for a whole generation.
> “The majority of the population actually lives far enough from the coast, that seawater desalination could never reach them. They consequently rely heavily on groundwater, especially in remote, low-income regions. And unfortunately, this groundwater is becoming more and more saline due to climate change,” says Jonathan Bessette, MIT PhD student in mechanical engineering. “This technology could bring sustainable, affordable clean water to underreached places around the world.”

Uh, that's just going to increase the rate of acquifer depletion.
I will never buy an American car. I remember my parents' multiple Dodges and Fords catastrophically failing before they switched to Toyota.

US car companies have created the lasting idea that cars are dead at 100K miles, because those companies' cars absolutely were. Meanwhile, I bought my Honda at 148K and it's over 210K now and doing fine.

Tesla seems to live up to the legendary Ford quality, with hilarious workmanship issues, Ford Pinto level "it'll trap you in a fire" design and frequent failures. Probably because they threw out the hard-learned lessons of a century of auto-making for novelty electronic gimmicks.
Can we all agree that these models far surpass human intelligence now? I mean they process hours worth of audio in less time than it would take a human to even listen. I think the singularity passed and we didn't even notice (which would be expected)
Wow, this is ridiculously polished for a one-man-show side project. Massive kudos.

Do you have a write-up somewhere of how you built this? I think there is a lot that I (and probably many here on HN) can learn from you.
Yes! This is my expectation. Lots of the big companies have already done this with in-house architecture. With Regatta, we want to democratize building stateless applications that can take advantage of the low-cost storage of S3.

Anonymity of users: validating someone's real-life identity sufficiently would make it possible to permanently ban malicious individuals and filter out bots with good effectiveness, but it will destroy anonymity online. In my opinion, literally untenable.

What about zero knowledge proofs? Those with typical cryptocurrency wallets could leverage existing extensions. Everyone else can download an open source extension that sends the proof and an open source way to verify proofs but is unrelated to cryptocurrency. While a robustly decentralized chain like Bitcoin and Ethereum would be a good place to verify proofs, no reason a non-cryptocurrency solution can't also be avaliable as well for the cryptocurrency adverse. And for the tech adverse, a phone number to call/text to walk the person through sending the proof via phone that would cost a tiny bit--and could also help the tech adverse with setting up an extension going forward?
I see, and I wholly agree. I'm looking at this from essentially the academic perspective (aka, when I was required to at least question my innate morality). When I saw this blog post, I looked at it in the same way. If you read it as "this charity is more useful than every other charity, we should stop offering soup kitchens, and redirect the funding to the SWP", then I disagree with that interpretation. I don't need or want to rationalize that decision to an EA. But it is a fun thought experiment to discuss.
The subsidy was to incentivize adoption of technology to fight climate change. As a result, he took actions that reduced CO2 emissions, which everyone benefits from.
Is it really prioritizing happiness tho? From Wikipedia:

> According to the World Happiness Report 2019, Bhutan is 95th out of 156 countries.

Not to mention its ethnic cleansing of the non-Buddhist population. There are definitely other things that have higher priority on the government's agenda than people's happiness.

Allow me to rephrase.

I think the statement is not true, in a literal sense. I do not think there are multiple FAANG companies with data centres where TCP has been entirely eliminated.

But the statement is ambiguous enough you could come up with true interpretations, if you diluted it to the point of meaninglessness.

Therefore, without a clear public statement of what is being claimed, it's very difficult for me to be impressed.
It was very probably faulty stochastic language meaning "the median element of the group G", specifically felt by some after the naive proposal in some press years ago that there would be a revolt as a reaction to the war, and the subsequent presentation of data that went "actually, some support is there".
Reading between the lines though, I suspect that isn't quite correct even though a simple reading of history says that. Remember the victors write history. The great dictator tends to be good at war, and so they write history. Democracy doesn't select the great war leaders and so they lose to the better generals, who in turn become kings and then write how bad other forms are to secure their legitimacy.
I’m not really craving dreaming again to be honest, like I said I don’t have nightmares.

It sounds like waking myself up wouldn’t be conducive to better sleep health.
I'm not fully sold on this reasoning.

Electricity on the local distribution node has a value equal to the cost of generation plus the distribution. That's the value of it, what we pay. So by supplying the kWh locally to neighbors, the grid costs have been avoided. But the value is still the same.

Now, the T&D infrastructure has already been built, and the utility wants to get paid no matter what, but if they were a private company and not a monopoly, they wouldn't have a right to get compensated for their investment no matter what, because every company buys capital at risk. And that's for the good of the economy.

There needs to be some sort of forcing function to incentivize this cheaper form of power delivery, that avoids a lot of transmission and distribution costs. And that forcing function is the price that we pay those who generate the electricity.

The utility of course loses on every kWh they don't generate, because they want to sell more electricity. However, since they have a monopoly, we need other regulation to ensure that innovation that results in lower overall costs actually results in lower prices for consumers.

So far, the utilities have snowed the public and the PUCs such that they get away with murder on this transition. We need a grid, but we do not need the utility. And if the utility can not come up with a business model that works as a regulated monopoly when we have local generation, then we need to change the regulatory model, most likely eliminating the monopoly.

There's a lot to learn from Texas here for the rest of the country.

We already have that: spray-and-prey is common, as are bystanders killed (even those who are just going about their lives in their own homes). But the weapons of the day were single-shot before reloading. In your argument we would only be reducing the number of bystanders reasonably shot.
