But isn't Zhang Daoling (AD 34-156) born too late to have brough Taoism into Shu (1046BC-316BC)? That's why I am asking about inner cultivation - like are we talking precursor practices that would become relevant to taoism arising in Shu, or do you just mean Shu fits the general area in which Taoism would later show up?
It's only a personal side project and I have a good handle on the untyped modules in question, so in the end I suppressed most of the errors with `# type:ignore` and friends.

I'd reconsider that if I was doing more than the odd bug fix on the project. I still like Python, and started using type hints early, but there's enough added friction to make me question using them in the future.

I imagine on big projects the benefit is clearer.
What are its cons? I used it years back and worked fine; did it transition to the dark side or it's a matter of bugs? I'd use it only self hosted of course. Alternatives?
I agree with you. I'm not advocating for hyper cost optimization at an early stage startup. You probably don't need k8s to get your mvp out of the door either.
The stdlib would remain 100% backwards compatible, but the implication was that he would want to see certain existing features of the stdlib amended with modified versions that leverage the new tagged unions. He imagined that modification would necessitate v2 stdlib packages to maintain sensibility.
Zero downtime deployments were a thing long before K8S
I think a good compromise is building your applications in a containerised manner so that you can simply run them with docker-compose, but then if it turns out you need some heavy scale, it's merely a case of switching the underlying infrastructure.

That said, my experience has been fairly different. Running microk8s on a VPS with some containers and an ingress just seems like a nice way to spin them up as pods and manage them. It really doesn't feel that complicated.

Once you integrate with cloud providers and you get more complex systems, sure, it gets more complex.

I much prefer the container paradigm for separating parts of apps out and managing dependencies and reproducibility. Having a bunch of raw servers with all the bullshit and drift and mutability that comes along with it feels far more like a headache to me than the abstraction of k8s or docker.

If you aren't deploying stuff with GitOps/IaC in 2024 I fear for anyone that has to manage or maintain it. 100% reproducibility and declarative infrastructure are wonderful things I could never come back from.
Any ideas why it is hit and miss?

Do you test as much on FF as on Chromium based browsers, during development, as well as in quality assurance steps? I could imagine, that some devs are looking at it in Chromium (or even Chrome shudder) all day, while implementing things, and then just having to tick a checkbox for FF "Yep, seems to work.". Which would of course lead to a Chromium-centric code.
0.1 * 24 * 30 = 720$/month

That's about 2x our monthly cloud expenses. That's not a small VM. You can buy a mac mini for that.
> veganism is about reducing suffering to a practical extend

There is genuine debate around whether plants suffer. The answer seems to be “no,” at least not in a way we’d recognise as suffering. But that ambiguity is more than enough to spawn a movement. Ethically-harvested honey doesn’t harm bees, for instance, and family dairies can blur the line between animal husbandry and petkeeping.

My experience of ancient CRT devices is that the display gets gradually dimmer. I once had a TV that was only really usable after dark -- but that's the only time I wanted to use it anyway -- and a huge Sun monitor that was only just about readable in total darkness, but we kept it because we also had a Sun server that we didn't know how to connect to any other monitor and we were worried that one day we wouldn't be able to SSH to it, but in fact the server never once failed.
I got a raspberry 4 recently and was tinkering with it. I was appalled at the apparent disk IO performance of the thing, opening a browser takes several seconds.

Is that just me or do I have a particularly crappy SD card? Anyone got any tips on how to improve disk IO? Would a USB3 external drive help with this?
Show HN: Dynamiqs – high-performance quantum systems simulation with Jax
Hello HN,

We’re excited to present Dynamiqs, a Python library for simulating quantum systems. It is developed by PhD students in Paris working for Alice&Bob, a quantum computers start-up (https://alice-bob.com), in collaboration with academic research universities (Sherbrooke, Yale, Mines Paris and LPENS). Dynamiqs focuses on physical-level simulation (Schrödinger equation, Lindblad master equation, etc.) rather than quantum circuit simulation. You can think of it as a GPU-accelerated alternative to QuTiP (https://qutip.org).

Key Features:

- Blazing Fast Simulations: GPU acceleration makes Dynamiqs up to 60x faster than QuTiP for large quantum systems.

- Differentiability: Compute gradients through the solver for tasks like quantum optimal control, sensitivity analysis, and parameter estimation.

- Vectorization: Run multiple simulations simultaneously to explore different parameter values or initial states.

Dynamiqs is powered by JAX (https://jax.readthedocs.io/en/latest/quickstart.html) and Diffrax (https://docs.kidger.site/diffrax/), combining GPU acceleration and automatic differentiation with cutting-edge ODE solvers.

We’re eager to connect with the JAX/ML community, even if quantum physics isn’t your area of expertise. Dynamiqs’ features like differentiability and vectorization could spark ideas for collaborations and novel applications.

Check it out and share your thoughts—we’d love to hear feedback, suggestions, or just chat about the possibilities!

> Then you'd add an additional cluster for running auxiliary service, this is services that has special network access or are not related to you "main product". Maybe a few of these. Still there's a long way to 47.

Why couldn't you do that with a dedicated node pool, namespaces, taints and affinities? This is how we run our simulators and analytics within the same k8s cluster.
The easiest way might be getting an ITX board with N100/150 from CWWK or Topton. They usually come with 4-6 SATA ports and the CPU soldered on. Then you just buy your favorite case and plug in your drives. Excluding the cost of the drives you might end up spending about $250, depending on your case and PSU selection. The problem with using SBCs or mini PCs that way is that you need an enclosure to hold, power, and cool down your disks, and even that is assuming that you can actually connect them via a SATA/SAS connection which may not be easily available from within your case.
In other news, Sora still exists. I thought they were never going to release it, there are comparable/better commercial options now.
The drink in every can is actually held in an inner plastic container, aluminium is only the outside. You can look up videos of people dissolving just the metal with drain cleaner and revealing the plastic “can”, or do it yourself (carefully). It’s thin and the amount of plastic is less, that’s true; but then I have never seen water sold in cans, for example.
There are apparently products based on the CM (Ableton Move?), not sure how they sell these at a profit.
This encoding should be twice as good as UTF-8.
The yaml and the k8s model can be grokked it just takes a willingness to.

That being said there are abstractions terraform, pulumi, others.

But my go to is always that most companies will never get to the point where k8s is required — most companies never get to that scale. A well maintained docker compose setup gets you a long way.
Great idea for a little app. <3

I don't see a problem with in-app purchases, but have you considered offering the unlocked app for free under Google Play Pass?
Also "Greek yogurt" is normally strained so it's already stabilised and is less subject to syneresis.

Note that even with the stabilising effect of straining and honey, real Greek yogurt (the stuff without additives) is never sold with admixtures. Once you mix stuff in you really are changing the consistency of the product and therefore its storage and transportation profile.

There's a scene in Silicon Valley [1] where Elrich Bachman is complaining that people keep taking his narrow spoons that he needs to mix in the jam in the little tub attached to his "Fa-Yeeh yogurt" (spelled "Fage". Surprisingly he pronounces it right! I'm Greek).

Bachman is talking about this product, Fage's split-cup Total yogurts:

https://gr.fage/total-2-split-cup

The reason there's a little tub and you have to tip it in and mix it up after you buy it is exactly because once you've disturbed the yogurt by mixing things in it, you don't have yogurt anymore but a gloopy goo with the consistency of thick cream and that just doesn't travel very well, especially if you want to be exporting your yogurt from Greece (where Fage has its plants) to the US (where Bachman complains about his spoons).

Also that gooey gloop is not what yogurt is supposed to be like. But I suppose that's just a matter of habit.

Perhaps the M.2 HAT+ and a decent SSD?

USB3 could plausibly be faster than the SD card as the spec allows for 5Gbps+ but I don't know about Pis that much, I'd defer to someone with experience.

As a photographer I can tell you that SD cards, even high class ones have laughably awful speeds - any proper camera that needs to do video will use CFexpress Type B cards which are tremendously faster.

The grass is always greener where you water it. They joined your company because the grass was greener there than anywhere else they could get an offer at. They want to keep it that way or make it even greener. Assuming that someone is doing something to become 'irreplaceable' is probably not healthy.

Starlark (python like config language) is used to configure Clace. For containerized apps, python frameworks are supported without a Dockerfile being required. All other languages currently require a user provided Dockerfile, the `container` spec can be used.

Same here and at several other people who asked me for alternatives over the years. I installed LO (formerly also OO) both on Linux and Windows and they became productive almost immediately. However when I install it on other people PCs I always set the default save formats as Word/Excel/Powerpoint 97-2003 so that nobody will complain when they send files to other people who presumably will be running mostly MS Office.
You can literally get a 1:1 model of capitalism by modeling luck alone. To ignore it is to pretend that you have some kind of control of luck.

Is this something different from TSO?
There is no "Broadcom-modified kernel". There's a fork with changes needed to support all Pi hardware at https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux. Unlike some boards were you're eternally stuck at old versions, the fork is actively maintained (currently mostly at 6.6, soon 6.12) with its changes regularly getting upstreamed. You post make it sound like the Pi kernel is a mess, which it is absolutely not.
A system being rearranged is tempting, and yes, a very likely outcome. Hollywood depends on its advantage in production values, which is quickly being eroded by AI.

However, if recent history is a guide, we won't see an increase in the number of paid artists, I'd say looking at the music industry, what we saw was the increase in the number of artists in general, but success seems to me as fickle as ever. Now, apparently, thanks to Ticketmaster monopoly, even live tours barely make any money and musicians are turning to Onlyfans (not porn, just direct support) to make money.

So here's the state of the music industry (partially due to unchallenged monopolies):

You, for the most part, don't make money making music and distributing it online

You don't make money from a live tour either.

Amazing outcome for an industry where the cost of production and distribution has collapsed. No one makes money except for the monopolies in streaming (Spotify) and ticketing (Ticketmaster).

Without monopoly protections, that's what you get. Thankfully, there's a bit more competition in the audiovisual realm with Youtube and multiple streamers. Still, I don't know what to think about what might happen.

Most artists / people in audiovisual production will likely make less money. Some will likely make a lot of money. My (kind of unfounded atm) assumption is that AI will just increase the differences in Paretto distribution of income, making the top 20% very rich and the bottom 80% very poor. Before genAI, you had a very large and vibrant VFX industry, with relatively well paid workers, which is likely to be cut down by huge numbers (it's already been cut by around 50%).
Container orchestration is second nature to us SRE's, so it's easy to forget that the average dev probably only knows the syntax for deployments and one or two service manifests.

And pods, of course
What you just described with one bad actor bringing the entire cluster down is yet another really good reason I’ll never put any serious app on that platform.
Also agree, and would also include paid apps as well!

I had a paid app which was a one time payment and was not doing anything special regarding permissions (no internet, nothing like that), but since it wasn't was bringing much revenue (some 3$-4$ per year), I let the Play Store remove it automatically. I couldn't justify adding the absurd data policies (since I wasn't using any user data) and the cost of updating it regularly.

Sorry for my 100 users, that cannot reinstall the app anymore!
Electrolytic capacitors are not solid state and likely #1 failure mode for most electronics. There are options for better (e.g. Al polymer) capacitors that are rather expensive - overall good capacitors are 'expensive', e.g. more than a dollar a piece in some cases.

The 2nd most common failure mode gotta be the mlcc (multi layer ceramic capacitor) cracks/shorts.

Yes! Outcast the people who have an addiction. I'm sure that will help get them back on track! Have you ever thought about writing a book?
There is quite a bit of variation between SD cards, browser taking several seconds is surprisingly bad.

On Pi 4 I use a 2.5" SATA SSD (WD blue) on a startech USB3 adaptor and the performance seems to me much better than even good quality microsd cards.
They were all tried in the past - glass, metal etc - and were largely replaced.

I was expecting that the surrounding sounds blend in with the music instead of drowning it out. Like you can hear music coming out of a speaker while a car passes.

Have I Been Pwned: High performance queries on large database
In general, the pi SoM usually offer 8 to 12 year availability maps, and haven't pulled price ballooning after launch.

If you are producing less than 1k pcs a month, than it certainly makes sense for smaller design runs. That being said, it is probably safer to eat the cost on the standard 0.1" ribbon cable header form-factor if you plan to run the line for a few years. The compute-modules have a tendency to change, and the micro-contact headers could be a failure point in some situations. Also, hardening the Pi design to be more reliable takes extensive testing, and experience.

Compared to other SoM manufacturers the Raspberry Pi foundation has a good reputation in both the open source community, and commercial roles. The pi4/5 FCC modular pre-compliance also saves around 11k USD when you go for lab testing. Also, pushing pi SoM production volumes higher means lower unit costs for everyone, and a double win is always nice.

If you don't need the gpio, than a mini PC form factor may offer more value.

There is also the Kria KR260 kits around, but it will not offer anywhere near the software/kernel ecosystem support of the pi community.

Best of luck, =3

Congrats on a useful and popular app! It sounds like something that could really help a lot of people.

Now, I really don't want to come across as smug or anything, but I'm not one of the people this would help. I already use my phone in a consciously controlled manner and I don't do things like endless doomscrolling. Despite, it's clear from the evidence that a lot of people do and would benefit from this app. So I'm really curious... what is that like? What goes through your head when you grab the phone, see the app, and then decide to put the phone back down? If you realize at that point that you don't actually want to use the phone right now, why did you grab it in the first place? I'm not insinuating anything, I'm genuinely just curious.

A central bank doesn't directly set interest rates for your mortgage.

It can set rates at which it will lend to other banks, which in turn influences the rates banks will offer to mortgage borrowers, but this isn't necessarily so, see for example 2008.

Of course there are more contracts directly tied to the central bank rates, but thats just formalising the thing thats supposed to happen anyway.

Do plants take nitrogen from the atmosphere? There's plenty of it available, but my understanding was that molecular nitrogen likes being molecular nitrogen and is difficult to react into a useful form.

If plants took nitrogen from the atmosphere, there would be no issue of fixing nitrogen in the ground. But instead, that's a huge issue. We also provide nitrogen fertilizer, which is another way of getting it into the ground. Why would we do that?

And similarly, I was pretty sure that most plants got their hydrogen and oxygen from water, which they draw out of the ground with special, purpose-dedicated organs called "roots". Their stylized interaction with the air is carbon dioxide in, molecular oxygen out. That's a source of carbon and maybe a little oxygen. The atmosphere doesn't even contain any significant amount of hydrogen.
