Nice, I didn't know about this, it wasn't available last time I checked.

With that said... there are so many limitations on that list, that seriously, I can't imagine it would really be so much easier than Kubernetes.
This is basically the Turing test, and like the Turing test it undervalues other elements which can allow for differentiation between “real” and “fake” things. For example - if we can determine that a thing that looks, walks, and quacks like a duck, but doesn’t have the biological heritage markers (that we can easily determine) then it won’t be treated as equivalent to a duck. The social desire to differentiate between real and fake exists and is easily implementable.

In other words: if AIs/robots ever become so advanced that they look, walk, and talk like people, I expect there to be a system which easily determines if the subject has a biological origin or not.

This is way down the line, but in a closer future this will probably just look like verifying someone’s real world identity as a part of the social media account creation process. The alternative is that billion dollar corporations like Meta or YouTube just let their platforms become overrun with AI slop. I don’t expect them to sit on their hands and do nothing.
If every job requires experience then every graduate will always be jobless.

There are jobs for freshers which doesn't require experience but basic knowledge and skills which you can learn on your own. Or you can do an internship to get the experience.
The Fed still has to make (and receive) loans at these rates, for them to have an effect on the market.

There aren't "big problems" because it works. When you put yourself in the corner of claiming "pure-canvas is irredeemably bad" when it's plainly not, then there's nothing practical on offer.
Co-Creation Could Transform India's Fashion Landscape
India’s apparel industry is a vibrant yet fiercely competitive space, with both global brands and local labels vying for consumer attention. Amid this dynamic, a new strategy is gaining traction: co-creation. By involving consumers directly in product design and development, small fashion brands can deliver personalized experiences that foster loyalty and set them apart from mass-market competitors.

A recent study investigates the potential of co-creation to reshape the Indian fashion market. Conducted in Bangalore with 237 participants aged 18-35, the research examined the relationships between social media usage, consumer openness, fashion sense, and brand perception. The findings reveal fascinating dynamics that could inform how brands engage consumers:

• Social Media’s Influence: Platforms like Instagram and Pinterest are not just marketing tools; they shape consumer preferences, openness to new trends, and fashion sense. These, in turn, influence brand perception positively.

• The Role of Fashion Sense: A well-developed fashion sense emerged as a critical factor in how consumers perceive brands that allow co-creation. This indicates that personalized and aesthetically attuned offerings resonate deeply with consumers.

• The Limits of Openness: Interestingly, general openness to new experiences had less impact on brand perception, suggesting that aesthetic alignment matters more than novelty alone.

Why Co-Creation Works:
Co-creation empowers consumers to collaborate with brands, fostering a sense of ownership and connection. The research highlights several benefits for both consumers and brands:

1. Enhanced Personalization: Consumers appreciate products tailored to their unique tastes and needs.

2. Stronger Loyalty: Engaged consumers are more likely to become brand advocates, increasing retention and lifetime value.

3. Cost Efficiency: By integrating consumer feedback early, brands can reduce the risk of product failure and optimize development processes.

Implications for Small Fashion Brands:
Large fast-fashion companies struggle to cater to the diverse tastes of Indian consumers, constrained by scale and standardization. In contrast, smaller brands can leverage co-creation to:
• Differentiate themselves in a crowded market.

• Use social media to understand and connect with niche audiences.

• Offer inclusive designs that reflect India’s rich cultural diversity.

A Look Ahead:
As social media continues to redefine consumer-brand interactions, co-creation could become a cornerstone strategy for fashion brands. By embracing consumer collaboration, Indian labels have the opportunity to innovate, inspire, and grow in a way that resonates with modern audiences.

The future of fashion is not just about creating for consumers but creating with them.
> That's just one mechanism, but not the primary way in which the Fed controls interest rates.

Yes.

> The Fed is a large provider of short-term loans ("fed funds") to cover interbank exchanges.
> It also is the lender of last resort and lends to banks directly ("discount rate").
> By changing these rates, the FED can influence the rates the banks charge each other for loans, and down the line to consumers.

And for those rates to take effect, the Fed still has to actually make (or receive) those loans at the announced rates. They don't just magically announce a rate, and then everyone charges that spontaneously.

So it's still about moving money in and out of circulation.

(Or at least the Fed needs to be ready to make and receive those loans, and anticipation does a lot of heavy lifting..)
> And ask yourself: Can this apply to VLSI design smarts, or OpSEC, or DEVOPS?

Sure. People are asked to sign NDAs pertaining to those all the time and I don't see why that's any different from classified military routines. Carrier based landings have zero civilian applications - it is a skill practiced by military pilots and no one else. You cannot be a carrier-certified pilot without understanding that your skillset is a domestic security asset.
AT&T took gov money to lay fiber years ago and never lit it up.

Centurylink will only offer me 6Mbps DSL.

A few years ago my electric coop spun up a for profit ISP and ran fiber to all their customers and provides reliable service and decent speeds.

Customer service has nothing to do with it.
If the Fed makes or receives a loan at specific interest rates (even if only overnight), that's pretty much economicaly equivalent to buying or selling bonds.

> Most court reporters use software nowadays that renders their special stenotype skills obsolete.

What software?

It would need text-to-speech of the same accuracy; for that to be possible (how accurate is that?) I think everyone would have to be properly mic'd.

Also, TTS errors would need to be detectable somehow by the stenographer, or transcripts could go dreadfully wrong.
I think checked exceptions are noise. They usually never provide value, and are often just caught and rethrown as runtime exceptions to avoid the boilerplate. Scala did right to remove them.

It could be, but you're not going to get into a situation where you recover attorney's fees.

So you're in a position where you can either handle it yourself and grind it out, or you can pay a lawyer an indeterminate amount to fix it-- probably just enough for a letter, but that may not even do the trick.

Suing in small claims is an option, though. You might recover something, and you'll certainly cause Verizon to incur expenses.
The Fed can only 'set' the Overnight Rate by being ready to borrow or lend at the Overnight Rate. The Fed still has to stand ready to actually engage in these transactions.

As a counterfactual: we can imagine a world where the Fed 'sets' these rates by just announcing the rate but not engaging in any transactions and legislators pass a law that forbids banks from borrowing from one another at any other rates.

The interbank lending market would just not clear in that case, and you'd either have a glut of demand or a glut of supply.

The Fed sidesteps this by actually borrowing and lending in the interbank lending market. And that's economically equivalent to buying and selling very short term bonds, even if the legal form is different.
Just to make it clear: There are a million use cases that don't involve scaling fast.

For example B2B businesses where you have very few but extremely high value customers for specialized use cases.

Another one is building bully hardware. Your software infrastructure does not need to grow any faster than your shop floor is building it.

Whether you want to call that a "startup" is up for debate (and mostly semanticist if you ask me) but at one point they were all a zero employee company and needed to survive their first 5 years.

Yes, and it’s happened twice in eight years.
Slightly tangential but TikTok isn't just short-form stuff. It also has normal length content, which is where most current-affairs/analyses would fall, outside of clips.

Similarly (somehow?) for Fortnite, 100% of their microtransactions are cosmetic. It's also free, so it's be akin to telling people you could get AAA quality games for free. The $60+++ group of games make up a vanishingly small chunk of the total market, and are more a relic of 'our' generation. Roblox is a platform, more than a game, so it's its own beast. In general though I think younger gamers have become more demanding, in a good way.

Or if you got a static ip and fast up speed, then just port forward 80, 443 and start hosting your self. Even an old Intel Mac Book pro from 2000's with 4 GB of RAM may not be that hot running MacOS, but install Debian with no X. It is running smooth as a whistle, while running several conduit matrix, haraka, zone-mta, ice cast, nginx with no issues.

WebRTC/TUN/STUN becomes an issue with the nginx config. May consider looking at pingora. The whole rust -> binary + toml file is super nice to run from system admin perspective.

I am partly sympathetic to that (and am a person who does this) but I think too many devs are very nihilistic and use this as an excuse to stop thinking. Everyone in a company is busy doing stuff!

There's a lot of nuance here. I think ops teams are comfortable with what I consider "config spaghetti". Some companies are incentivised to ship stuff that's hard to configure manually. And a lot of other dynamics are involved.

But at the end of the day if a dev copy-pastes some config into a file, taking a quick look over and asking yourself "how much of this can I actually remove?" is a valuable skill.

Really you want the ops team to be absorbing this as well, but this is where constant atomization of teams makes things worse! Extra coordination costs + a loss of a holistic view of the system means that the iteration cycles become too high.

But there are plenty of things where (especially if you are the one integrating something!) you should be able to look over a thing and see, like, an if statement that will always be false for your case and just remove it. So many modern ops tools are garbage and don't accept the idea of running something on your machine, but an if statement is an if statement is an if statement.

People gravely miss-understand containerization and Docker.

All it lets you do is put shell commands into a text file and be able to run it self-contained anywhere. What is there to hate?

You still use the same local filesystem, the same host networking, still rsync your data dir, still use the same external MySQL server even if you want -- nothing has changed.

You do NOT need a load balancer, a control plane, networked storage, Kubernetes or any of that. You ADD ON those things when you want them like you add on optional heated seats to your car.
"Eating your data" seems to refer to very serious bugs rather than leaking or vulns.

The brilliance of reddit was "anyone can create a reddit that they run for any topic" so the "community" was handed to the people and the site managed infrastructure.

In the time-honored tradition of virtualization, I would propose simply to have "moderator" subscriptions similar to subreddit subscriptions. At face value the site is unmoderated (modulo necessary legal requirements), a user may moderate as they please, have AI moderator filters, and share these publicly at their choice, and subscribe to moderations others have shared.

The whole free speech issue began when sites decided that they ought to know what people should and should not be listening to and reading. Easily fixed though, keep the speech free, it's free to the person who speaks, and let the listener and reader choose on their own what they shall and shall not listen to.

I caught my husband so many times through his chats and all about cheating on me and when i told him he always claims that he has changed and all. right now he hides his phone from me and i still guess he is cheating cause i could not break into his phone any more so i was referred to a hacker named FRED who i ran to for help and this hacker was able to break into his phone and proved me with the access to my husband phone without my spouse knowing about the hack. Right in my phone I have all my husband's daily activities . I got to read all his chats, texts, calls, WhatsApp, Facebook, and many more. This hacker is really great, thank you.

I've managed a few thousand VMs in the past, and I'm extremely grateful for it. An image is built in CI, service declares what it needs, the scheduler just handles shit. I'm paged significantly less and things are predictable and consistent unlike the world of VMs where even your best attempt at configuration management would result in drift, because the CM system is only enforcing a subset of everything that could go wrong.

But yes, Kubernetes is configured in YAML, and YAML kind of sucks, but you rarely do that. The thing that changes is your code, and once you've got the boilerplate down CI does the rest.
I already know that python is generally slower than C. This microbenchmark tells me that python is 100x slower than C, but only in these specific circumstances that wouldn't happen in the real world, but may or may not be similar enough to the real world to infer that C could be 10^(2±1) faster, but only for a small portion of someone's program, and only if they don't use one of the libraries that they probably do use.

Personally, I find it misleading for the results of a benchmark to be posted when it's not made clear up front what the benchmark is measuring. At minimum I'd want a disclaimer that mentions at least one of the first two points mentioned in the top comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42250205
I actually think there are mental benefits to cutting the lawn. There is something zen about slowly reducing the grass in an ordered manner.
Yes, expectations and anticipation are very, very important in all markets, and especially financial markets.

But they only work, because the Fed can and will back up its announcements with large transactions at the announced prices and rates.

> There’s many reasons for this - not least that it’s futile to fight against the currency issuer.

You'd hope so, but not all currency issuers are so confident. I remember the Swiss central bank recently giving up on its exchange rate target to the Euro: they let the Swiss Frank appreciate against the Euro in the end, even though they control the printing presses and could always print enough Franks to drive their price down as much as they want to.

We saw similar reluctance to do whatever it takes for Japan since the 1990s and the Fed and the ECB during the 2010s, when they all failed comically to push inflation up to their targets, and came up with various excuses.

(The failure of the Fed is particularly funny, because one of the guys in charge had earlier written a piece telling the Japanese exactly how to get out of their own trap in the 1990s, but then did not practice his own preaching.)

Why would we want to do that? It's also totally impractical because everything is politicized.
Apple should be required to do a recall for these motherboards.
There will also be exceptions for any general principle. Remember, Americans still allow TikTok despite mainland China banning almost every major US social network. Citing a few events and calling them "quotidien" doesn't make it so.

E.g, Twitter/X is still flourishing in the US while regulators in the EU frequently threaten it.

A script that installs some dependencies on an Ubuntu vm. A script that rsyncs the build artifact to the machine. The script can drain connections and restart the service using the new build, then onto the next VM. The cloud load balancer points at those VMs and has a health check. It's very simple. Nothing fancy.

Our small company uses this setup. We migrated from GCP to AWS when our free GCP credits from YC ran out and then we used our free AWS credits. That migration took me about a day of rejiggering scripts and another of stumbling around in the horrible AWS UI and API. Still seems far, far easier than paying the kubernetes tax.

How to save 1M off your cloud infra? Start from a 2M bill.

That's how I see most of these projects. You create a massively expensive infra because webscale, then 3 years down the road you (or someone else) gets to rebuild it 10x cheaper. You get to write two blog posts, one for using $tech and one for migrating off $tech. A line in the cv and a promotion.

But kudos for them for managing to stop the snowball and actually reverting course. Most places wouldn't dare because of sunken costs.
Don't write every pixel by hand to the screen. At high resolutions that just won't work. No modern UI does that anymore, they all use acceleration of some type. I ran into this trap when I tried to write a simple canvas game engine.

So how does this person link up the different parts that go into deploying a service? Like, yes, you can have a managed database, and you can have a managed application deployment (via cloud run), and you can have a pub-sub messaging queue, and you can have a domain name. But where's the part where you tie these all together and say that service A is these and service B is those? Just manually?
One silver lining I want to note (after looking at the HF page again) is that they mention 4 open video models, 3 of which (Mochi 1, LTX Video and Pyramid Flow) I had not yet heard of. For anyone who, like me, has been frustrated at the drought of open (locally runnable) Diffusion Transformer models, check these out. They’re pretty groundbreaking.
