My fly.io-hosted website went down for 5 minutes (6 hours ago), but then came right back up, and has been up ever since. I use a free monitoring service that checks it every 5 minutes, so it's possible it missed another short bit of downtime. But fly.io has been pretty reliable overall for me!
You have just re-invented IPFS! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/InterPlanetary_File_System
(I assume) it will fail if the eTag doesn't match -- the instance it got the header.

The main point of it is: I have an object that I want to mutate. I think I have the latest version in memory. So I update in memory and upload it to S3 with the eTag of the version I have and tell it to only commit if that is the latest version. If it "fails", I re-download the object, re-apply the mutation, and try again.
I hope he's OK, what a rebel, all the way back to the Chaos computer club. It's been enjoyable watching him fight Hollywood.
We definitely hope this will solve the NxM problem.

On tools specifically, we went back and forth about whether the other primitives of MCP ultimately just reduce to tool use, but ultimately concluded that separate concepts of "prompts" and "resources" are extremely useful to express different _intentions_ for server functionality. They all have a part to play!
It's easy to just declare something "crime" and then claim justification for anything you do to prosecute it, but the strategy is also often a moral sewer of corrupt interests and mendacity.

If you think that the sort of "crime" that Dotcom committed justified all the measures taken against him, especially given the kind of reprehensible corporate interests working behind these measures for their own entirely self serving extremes, then maybe you should more closely examine how you define your morality on crime.

This was a similar situation before US states figured out the federal escalation policy. And, with abortion access, it is also a front and center issue again. I’m unconvinced by your dismissal - how is it different, except lacking an escalation path to resolve it?
Reliability is hard when your volume is (presumably) scaling geometrically.
Kinda funny that they've named their global state store "Corrosion"... not really a word I'd associate with stability and persistence.
this is very short-sighted… you think US strategically cared about Vietnam?! it doesn’t matter whether ukraine is on the US strategic priority list - it matters what ukraine represents. if US is cool with russia invading european sovereign states - fantastic. surely putin being a fair and cool guy and all will stop there, right?

The alternative Python package manager "Conda" does use a SAT solver, which sounds elegant at first but can be frustrating when it runs into slow-to-resolve situations. (This happens frequently, which is why I no longer use Conda on my machines).

I truly don't understand the tone of your comment.

I'm not grasping at the furthest of straws, I see a distinction between 'verbatim copying someone else's work' and 'verbatim copying the results of a tool that produces text'.
As squirmish as this makes me, this is exactly the kind of thing that the original architects of the web imagined when they describe the browser as a "user agent" - that the browser doesn't have to show you exactly what the server sent you.

The user's agent is free to transform the data sent by the server in any way, and users will seek out agents that do useful things for them.

As a developer I'm uncomfortable with the idea that some browser or extension might break my site, or that I may break the customization with an update, but the idea here is really powerful. I don't think it's ever caught on much though. I think most extensions that do this kind of thing have pretty solidly failed.
When I worked for a company who worked with big banks / financial institutions we used to run disaster recovery tests. Effectively a simulated outage where the company would try to run off their backup sites. They ran everything from those sites, it was impressive.

Once in a while we'd have a real outage that matched the test we ran as recently as the weekend before.

I was helping a bank switch over to the DR site(s) one day during such a real outage and I left my mic open when someone asked me what the commotion was on the upper floors of our HQ. I said "super happy fun surprise disaster recovery test for company X".

VP of BIG bank was on the line monitoring and laughed "I'm using that one on the executive call in 15, thanks!" Supposedly it got picked up at the bank internally after the VP made the joke and was an unofficial code for such an outage for a long time.

Your concerns are very valid. This is partly why right now, in Claude Desktop, it's not possible to grant permission permanently. The most you can do is "Allow for this chat," which applies to one tool from one server at a time.
As business complexity grows it just gets hard for Tech, Engineering, Science & Creative folk to keep pace with the skills of Finance/Business folk.

And this has a huge impact on trajectory of the majority of businesses. Cause with scale, they become dependent on other experts from Finance, Marketing, Sales, Logistics etc who take over decision making and leadership as firms grow in size.

You can see it in every sector of the economy. Not just Tech. James Cameron, Steven Spielberg or Peter Jackson don't end up creating and running a Disney anymore cause the amount of time to specialize in their own field keeps increasing.

Look at Finance. As soon as an org has more than a few offices in different countries they very quickly learn how to take advantage of difference in labor costs, interest rates, forex, corporate tax rates, rent, real estate costs, subsidy differences, regulatory differences etc. Now scale that up 20 offices in 20 countries and the Financial Engineering dept suddenly a huge say in where the story goes.

Replace Finance with other specializations(Marketing, Sales, Supply chain etc) and the same story plays out.

If you want to have influence you need to have skills across specializations, or know specialists who share your values.

I remember a plot point in a science fiction novel being that kudzu is technically edible, if not particularly interesting - and thus, a large famine was averted. If we could do the same to grass...

IntelliJ or the older Scala-IDE for Eclipse certainly does, so I'd be very disappointed if the LSP impl (which the Scala maintainers have been pushing as the official IDE replacement these days) didn't.

It was for kind of a weird project .. a new shell called Oil. It was originally written in python, which turned out to be too slow (obviously), so the author decided to transpile python -> c++ and compile that with a custom python runtime .. which surprisingly worked pretty well. There were sharp edges, but even a really braindead cpp translation was like 200x faster than python iirc

If you were Google k8s wouldn't cut it. I have experience of both options in multiple projects. Managing containers yourself and the surrounding infrastructure vs. using k8s. k8s just works. It's a mature ecosystem. It's really not as hard as people make of it. Replicating all the functionality of k8s and the ecosystem yourself is a ton more work.

There are definitely wide swaths of applications that don't need container, don't need high availability, don't need load balancing, don't need monitoring, don't need any of this stuff or need some simpler subset. Then by all means don't k8s, don't use containers etc.
Thanks. Can someone explain what these are typically used for or link to commercially available variants?

I have not, but I just asked chatGPT and it, chatGPT, suggested a starting point solution.

I asked:

how would I:

- use IMAP to read email from my email server

- call a local LLM (say ollama) to classify the email

- file each email into one of N folders or maildirs or mboxes ?

and received a reasonable python program.
You definitely do own them in a legal sense, but in a bookkeeping sense, there is a very real difference between the depository and your broker maintaining ownership records.

Legal ownership is what makes your claims worth anything in a court of law, and protects them against those of other creditors, but without proper bookkeeping, you have no evidence a court could even consider.

>we got our own celebrities and a way to talk about them

Maybe, but Gul Dukat isn't a celebrity, he's a character. The study isn't asking people about <character from currently popular movie or TV show>, but about real, living celebrities. If they asked about the #1 character in Bridgerton, whoever that is, that I think would be comparable.

It also doesn't help that they're mainly asking about current celebrities. A 60-year-old doesn't give a shit about the Kardashians or Justin Bieber. Obama probably. But some celebrity who was big 30-40 years ago would be of much more interest to them.

Even Muslims do not claim their religion is completely novel. The rituals may differ, but the creed preached by Muhammad (peace and blessings upon him) is the same preached by Adam, Noah, Abraham, Ismail, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, David, Solomon, John, Jesus, and countless other prophets (peace be upon them all): worship The One True God (Allah, Yahweh) with no partners.

As far as prayer rugs and other accessories, those are not actually part of our rituals as Muslims. Some people use them for practical purposes (prayer rugs help you avoid prostrating on dirt, asphalt, a potentially unclean carpet, etc. and prayer beads make it easier to keep count), while some others may have cultural reasons, and some just want to enhance their spiritual experience (e.g. incense and perfume).
It’s not in chrome web browser, just the google app. So you can’t run scripts/etc afaik
How does this matter when the country is known ahead of time, and the relevant laws, the details, etc., are all widely known to be nowhere near identical?

It’s not like someone could accidentally board a flight to China and clear immigration by happenstance, or without being informed that things may be very different from their home country.
My career started in the early 80s. For about 30 years, I felt pretty confident that I understood all the major trends in this business. I have to admit that I didn’t even know exploits like this were possible.

Interesting that what’s basically an ad is the top comment - it’s not like this is open source or anything - can’t even use it immediately (you have to apply for access). Totally proprietary. At least elasticsearch is APGL, saying nothing of open search which also supports use of S3

Oh yes. For sure. Agree completely.
I remember a long time ago using the apache portable runtime and pool malloc was pretty interesting. I believe it probably was designed around web requests - which could disappear at any time. The idea was that you allocated a memory pool, and did all your mallocs within that pool. If there was a problem, you could easily clean up and free the entire pool.

I think this idea could work really well the the memory system - a pool could be a number of underlying pages and gc would be easy, and letting go of the pages would be too.
LIDARs can be blinded by consumer grade laser pointers, I wonder if there are systems that protect LIDARs against adversarial attacks or DOS attacks
With no inside knowledge of this team or feature, this appears to be almost the exact same feature MS shipped in the IE6 betas over 20 years ago, though without the ability for 3p to integrate with it:

Response was extremely negative and the feature was removed. The only thing remaining is the opt-out meta tags all over the web.
I'm not an insider but afaik anything heavy lifting in Google is C++ or Go. There's no way you can use Python for anything heavy at Google scale, it's just too slow and bloated.

Most stuff I've seen run on k8s is not crappy webapp in Python. If anything that is less likely to be hosted in k8s.

I'm not sure why you call k8s api shitty. What is the NixOS API for "deploy an auto-scaling application with load balancing and storage"? Does NixOS manager clusters?

How much experience do you have with k8s?
clever japes are not desired on HN - there's Reddit for that my friend.
You're equating the physical (Ukraine, Crimea) with what this war is about. Putins goal wasn't to take Ukraine, his goal was to show the world that Western law and rules mean nothing. That the West is weak and lacks resolve. That NATO is a failure along with the USA/EU belief in Global Law and Independent states.

This is about destroying the principles of Democracy. That others should not look to America or the EU for salvation. He is creating a new world order with the help of China, Iran, and North Korea and succeeding. Look at the elections in the USA and EU. Parties that are sympathetic to Russia just like MAGA is sympathetic to Putin and Russia are gaining power. The West is on the cusp of a complete strategic defeat that will define the next century at a minimum.
Suspiciously, Turso started having issues around the same time. Their CEO confirmed on Discord it's due to the Fly outage:

> we are already in touch with Fly and will see if we can speed this up
I'm a millenial myself (36 years old next year... I'm getting too old for this), and while I can think of some "popular" names of my generation like Linkin Park, Dragonforce, Emma Watson, Brittney Spears as you mentioned, Mario, Pokemon, World of Warcraft, Indiana Jones, Harry Potter, The Simpsons, Futurama, and so on, none of them can compare to ye olde icons of ye olde generations like Star Trek and the people I mentioned before.

Celebrities and pop culture sensations of olden times defined entire eras that we can still clearly identify to this day, but that just doesn't happen anymore because large numbers of people aren't forced to coalesce around a small handful of works and figures.

>we can have social cohesion without resorting to nationalism nor religion.

Can we? The way I see it, in removing and villifying tradition, religion, and nationalism/patriotism they were simply replaced by inferior substitutes and surrogates. The chief examples being "science" ("Trust the Science.") and politics (Obama, Trump, Farage, et al.) as the receptacles of peoples' desires to be fervent about something.
Most Chinese firms are also very short term focused as the Chinese would regularly lament. But somehow as a system they show persistence. A good example is the solar industry with many bankruptcies of the earlier giants, yet the baton gets passed on and they keep at it. I think because of the sky high savings rate they can afford (or even prefer) to have asset heavy industries. Even with financial failures the hard assets get passed on (as opposed to financial firms). Large projects are funded by loans. Banks prefer hard assets because they have collateral. Equity holders contribute through intangibles, i.e. operating expertise. If they fail banks foreclose and find new operators. US used to be like that. Railroads, airlines, factories etc routinely go through bankruptcies. But the equity markets learned their lessons and now hate hard assets. With heavy asset you need leverage to get decent ROE which makes you vulnerable to the business cycle and puts you in a weak position bargaining with third parties like unions, class action lawyers or debt holders.

The man's experiences with constantly being moved on reminded me, as a foreign tourist, of how distinct America is in this regard. I flew into California and did a few weeks of bikepacking there before crossing into Mexico. In spite of wearing clean, new expensive expedition-clothing brands, and having a high-end bike with new, clean premium bags, I was several times apparently taken for homeless: I'm packing away my purchases outside a supermarket, and a police cruiser rolls by and tells me I need to move on; I pop into a petrol station for a snack, and a police officer standing around tells me I need to move on.

And everywhere "No loitering" signs. I wouldn't even know how to say "no loitering" in the European languages that I speak.
Two modes are described, one is direct acoustic interference. That one's an active mode where sound waves are cancelled out and the fabric effectively is "just" a speaker. The second is a passive method where the sound is dampened by way of sinking the current produced by the piezo fiber.
Practically, they could do both: Do an early reject of a given POST in case the ETag does not match, but re-validate this just before swapping out the objects (and committing to considering the given request as the successful one globally).

That said, I'm not sure if common HTTP libraries look at response headers before they're done posting a response body, or if that's even allowed/possible in HTTP? It seems feasible at a first glance with chunked encoding, at least.

Edit: Upon looking a bit, it seems that informational response codes, e.g. 100 (Continue) in combination with Expect 100-continue in the requests, could enable just that and avoid an extra GET with If-Match.
Blindly wrapping a build script in a Dockerfile is not nothing, but it's no replacement for being careful while writing that script in the first place.

Otherwise I agree, because if you must be careful, you might as well use tooling that's built for such care. But if you're doing that, do you need the Dockerfile? And that's how you end up with nix/guix.
How well do they do running in somewhat enclosed spaces, many hours a day? I'm guessing Apple's cool-running chips make that doable.
Highly recommend people poke their projects with tools like dig (or even better dug) to see what happens when they update records. Very fun to watch changes spread geographically.
How is this any different than selecting the text and going to “Look Up” that exists natively anywhere in the OS?

I suppose one aspect is that it looks like a link the website creator has made themselves which might therefore be deceptive? Whereas the OS context menu is obviously from the OS.

That's the underlying risk of being an entrepreneur. If it were a sure thing, everyone else would be doing it. This isn't a comment about Stripe Atlas but about the whole thing being a gamble. If you don't have the stomach for that kind of a gamble at large, being entrepreneur isn't for you.

It's easy to buy shares of Uber on the stock exchange after they went public, it's way harder to put down money on Uber in 2008. And you could be Flywheel instead of Uber.
