A totally incorrect statement.

Super Hornet and Viper both dwarf this number by 10x and in every operational theatre in the world are exactly as competent as JSF. They currently are selling far more in every market than F35b, which is the most sold f35 to everyone's suprise.

No market is seeking out f35 specifically for nato congruence/stealth. (Though, The SVTOL variant is a pleasant market-friendly surprise for Lockheed. Turns out, many nations operate sub-fleet carriers that can handle harriers, ospreys, f35b.)

Recall that the JSF was drafted in the 90s, and an operational prototype existed in 2002.

The JFS program can be both impressive and way too expensive at the same time. It doesn't need to be setting records to justify it's existance.
If you generate a billion bytes using a random byte generator, and bin the resultant array into 256 bins, it will not be perfectly flat. You can use that non-flatness to encode your bits more efficiently. I suspect just using codes to do it won't work well because the bin values are so close so you'll struggle to get codes that are efficient enough, but I suspect you can use the second order difference-between-specific byte as the encoded value. That has a much more pronounced distribution heavily weighted to small values.
It's definitely harder to analyze building for people actually buying homes vs renting, simply because buying property is susceptible to bubbles in a way that doesn't happen for people renting. People don't go irrationally beyond their means for rentals in the hope that the rental will appreciate in value in the long run and they'll be able to "hold onto it", because it's a rental.

Something similar happened to Spain recently, where there was a huge building bubble before (real estate was an insane % of the economy IIRC) and now they're not building enough.
I hope those people who only want a "simple, no-nonsense computer" don't get scammed out of $1700 for an iMac when they'd just as easily be satisfied with a computer that costs less than a fifth of that price.
But... Why was it called a super cassette vision? It seems to have used rom cartridges like everyone else.

It's an increasingly bad business to be in.

Netflix burns customers when they cancel beloved shows, and they constantly have to experiment.

They now have a bazillion competitors who are ramping up comparable businesses. There's no moat or secret sauce competitive advantage. Customers are free to switch at no cost.

Bigger tech companies are using media content as simply a fringe benefit or commodity to enhance their platform offerings.

YouTube, on the other hand, is already starting to eclipse the entire Netflix business model. YouTube is a monster with a huge and enviable moat, and it's only going to continue growing. It's a much stronger business model and they have a sticky and growing user base.
Hard disagree on this. Large production apps that use channels have very subtle bugs that cause all kinds of annoying issues that only come up under load in prod. I have been using go for ten years and still pick it as my language of choice for most projects however I stay away from channels and especially any complex use of them unless it’s 100% required to scale the application. Even then you can most of the time come up with a better solution by re architecting that part of the application. For pet projects go crazy with them though.

The downside is that you're now heap allocating at least one object for every state, and I'm willing to bet that each QState has an associated std::vector-style list of actions, and that each action is also its own object on the heap.

If you can afford to do things like this you can most likely use something other than C++ and save yourself a lot of headaches.

C++ is not a dependently typed language, for the same reason that templates do not emit errors until after they are instantiated. All non-type template parameters get fully evaluated at instantiation time so they can be checked concretely.

A truly dependently typed language performs these checks before instantiation time, by evaluating those expressions abstractly. Code that is polymorphic over values is checked for all possible instantiations, and thus its types can actually depend on values that will not be known until runtime.

The classic example is a dynamic array whose type includes its size- you can write something like `concat(vector<int, N>, vector<int, M>) -> vector<int, N + M>` and call this on e.g. arrays you have read from a file or over the network. The compiler doesn't care what N and M are, exactly- it only cares that `concat` always produces a result with the length `N + M`.

The difference between your opinion and theirs is that theirs is based on observation, experience, and anecdotes from people who fill that market, and yours is based on speculative extrapolation from a narrower version of observation, anecdotes, experience, based on the fact that you're suggesting it doesn't exist and they've/I've seen it existing. The people who know it to be true will read their thoughts about the market you think doesn't exist, and will agree, and the ones who haven't and don't think it should be rational will agree with you.

It does exist. Schools, kids, various platform independent in-office work computers, old people, all kinds; even introducing one layer of complexity and going down one step in prettiness just isn't worth it sometimes.

Doing things efficiently: Testing why simple explanations are satisfying
Employee performance MEASUREMENT appears to be Gaussian distributed. To my first simple, and let's be real probably somewhat wrong, approximation there are roughly 3 things that go into it.

1. There is a certain skill in communicating all the important things you've done, we shall lump likability + politicking into this one for convenience.

2. There is a premium that is placed on shiny new features and saving the day heroics. A lot less priority is placed on refactoring and solving the problems before they require heroics.

3. Finally there are individual's technical and self-management skills. I.E. it's important to work on important things and be good at it.
It's about usable time and cost of capital - if it's cheaper to rent the unit, they'll rent one, if it's cheaper to buy one and let it sit idle most of the time, they'll do that.

The rent/buy calculus can be incredibly shunted towards "buy" once you're using it even somewhat. It's even more so when you realize that labor costs is the main issue, and not having a skilled worker waiting around for an item to be delivered (by another slightly less skilled worker, perhaps) is a huge savings in its own part. Five guys on a site might have 15 machines total; even though they obviously can't use all 15 at the same time.
Love the idea, some weirdness though:

> Here's a practical example: finding the first occurrence of a specific string among 1000 large files hosted online. Downloading all files at once would consume too much memory, processing them sequentially would be too slow, and traditional concurrency patterns do not preserve the order of files, making it challenging to find the first match.

But this example will process ALL items, it won't break when a batch of 5 finds something?
You are talking about value as some intrinsic quality. I'm talking about value as a belief that is subjectively assigned, and that we can infer from actions. We can all agree on the actions, and we can agree on the possible beliefs that an action can imply.

The action to not match an offer implies that the company believes the employee adds less value than their new offer. If the company believed the employee was adding more value than their new offer, they would match the offer to keep the employee.

A company isn't a single rational agent. It's made up of people performing different functions. But behaving irrationally is a categorically bad thing for the company to do, and the leadership has a fiduciary duty to prevent the company from acting irrationally or otherwise not in its own self interest.

The manager may matter here, but the leadership is supposed to be creating a management structure such that the company acts rationally to make progress towards set goals.

> In place of the formal OSI protocols that failed to gain traction, are other standards and protocols such as HTTP, DNS, TCP, and IP, providing the primary link between the conceptual model and logical solutions.

It would be interesting/instructive to read some expert thought on why OSI "failed to gain traction". The OSI breakdown has always seemed reasonable enough. Is there there something about scalability requiring a more ruthless quest for simplicity at work here? Is it the security requirements?

I have my own personal recommender YOShInOn which is an RSS reader that shows me about 5% of what it ingested. If you look me up in the profile I could show you a demo.

My answer to the diversity problem is this: out of maybe 2000-10,000 items I have the system make N=20 clusters with

https://scikit-learn.org/1.5/modules/generated/sklearn.clust...

and instead of picking out the 300 items with the highest score I pick the top 15 items in each cluster. Everything I post to HN was selected by YOShInOn once and by me twice and I think you can see the clusters at work if you note I post articles about programming, sports, environmental issues, advanced manufacturing, omics, energy technology, etc. If I pulled the top 300 it would all be arXiv papers about recommender systems with a few "circular economy" manufacturing topics.

If you found, say, 200 HN articles on a certain topic last week you might need a smaller cluster size, maybe N=5. There are other approaches to the diversity problem in the literature too but this one is easy.

I get amazing results with SBERT embeddings on HN titles and similar short texts. There is the trouble of ambiguous titles which nobody could classify but if a title is clear enough for you to get the gist of it, SBERT probably does well on it. If you are crawling the stories you are increasing your data 1000x but you are NOT going to get 1000x better results. Here is how I do on thumbs up/thumbs down classification with just titles and an obsolete algo:

https://ontology2.com/essays/ClassifyingHackerNewsArticles/

SBERT would put a few points of AUC on, I could imagine into the low .8's, but the up/down classification is noisy.

You actually could make a decent prototype that just uses the titles and not face webcralwer problems, context window not big enough problems, etc.

> How much revenue do you think a janitor or café staffer generates? Close to zero. The same goes for engineering. Someone has to do the unglamorous staff, or you end up with a dysfunctional company, with amazing talent (on paper).

If the company would be dysfunctional without that janitor or software engineer, and not bring in as much revenue as a result, it sounds like the model that attributes close to zero revenue to them is already dysfunctional. If the company can't function without the janitor, then a significant portion of the revenue of the company should be attributed to them.
This might be a great board to run Frigate NVR on.

I recently purchased an Intel N100 mini PC with a Coral TPU. Its performance with Frigate has been fantastic.

The major difference is the NPU in this RISC-V chip is much more powerful than the Coral TPU. It's NPU has the same TOPS as the latest AI hat for Raspberry Pi 5, but unlike the Raspberry Pi 5, it also has H.264 and H.265 video transcoding. The larger form factor might be a downside, but maybe not if expanded storage or reusing old hardware is a priority.

In summary, Netflix told all their employees that they are so amazing at their job, they are the top 10% of the whole world, they are like NFL athletes. If they don't perform to top tier levels, they'll be shown the door.

Here's a thought experiment: pretend that Netflix is lying and that their employees are not actually made up of the top 10% of talent industrywide. Let's for this thought experiment assume the realit is that they have slightly above average talent because Netflix pays slightly above industry average.

But now they've convinced those employees that they're not just slightly above average, they are like elite NFL players. And that means they have to work like elite NFL players. Netflix convinces their employees to work XX% harder with longer hours than the rest of the industry because they think they are elite.

"Only amazing pro athlete geniuses can work here" is way more motivating than "You have to work yourself to death with extra hours to make quota or you're fired!" because it's a manipulation of the ego.

I think this thought experiment is closer to reality than Netflix or their kool-aid-drunk employees will admit, and that Netflix's "pro athlete" culture is worker-harming psychological manipulation.
This is a perfect time for me to pull out an old aphorism of mine. "Never ask a geek 'why?', just nod your head and back away, slowly".
How did you get this impression? No, we are not in a true Scotsman situation.

In order to establish that some language is faster than the other, you can devise a convincing metric. It will have to state what are the aspects that you are going to take into account, what are you baseline assumptions about measuring speed. Those using your experiment then will be able to practically use your results because they will be able to interpret your meaning of speed of the language.

The test in OP doesn't give anything like that. It ignores a lot of common testing practices by failing to control for many obvious confounds, by failing to provide any kind of sensible explanation of what is meant by the speed of the language, by using unreliable measuring techniques. It's just a hands-down awful way to test anything by the standards of people in the field of performance testing.

To further illustrate my point. Suppose you trust OP when they say that Python and JavaScript are roughly similar when it comes to the speed of calculating Fibonacci numbers. You then take a 16-cores server and run 16 processes of Python program calculating Fibonacci numbers and in another instance you take the same server and run 16 JavaScript process doing the same... only to discover that, eg. JavaScript now does 16 times better than Python (because Python decided to run all programs on the same core).

Note, I'm not saying that that's how Python actually works. All I'm saying is that the author doesn't control for this very obvious feature of contemporary hardware and never explicitly acknowledges any baseline assumptions about how the program is supposed to be executed. This is bad testing practice, intentionally or not it can be used to score "political" points, to promote a particular program over another.
My thesis supervisor used excessively flowery language like that in papers, and I had to have a few tugs with him over needless verbosity all while learning to write a paper for the first time. I think there's a subconscious "look at how wise I am" whiff that comes off this type of writing. And sure, yes, impressive, but let's leave creative writing to creative writers. As a scientist, you should instead be focusing on communicating a (probably complex enough) idea as clearly and as simply as you possibly can - just not any simpler.

By the time I wrote my thesis, I was far more assertive in politely declining many of his edits.
Ask HN: Why did K8s win against Docker Swarm?
Docker Swarm Classic (https://github.com/docker-archive/classicswarm) is dead. Docker Swarm Mode is alive, and I know some people use it, but it's very niche compared to k8s.

As someone who interacts with k8s regularly, I often feel like there is a place for a simpler k8s alternative. But looking at history I see the attempts like Swarm fail.

What do you think played the decisive role in the k8s victory? Features, openness, extensibility, something else? And do you think if there is a demand for a simper k8s alternative or is it destined to repeat k8s complexity to be useful? If there is such a demand, where did Swarm fail in particular?
