I wanted you and your sibling commenter to know that even though we're probably coming from opposite ends of the political spectrum, I meant no malice or schadenfreude by my comment.

Despite being a huge capitalist, I do think there's a sweet spot of very minimal regulation that works out best for everyone.

However, the blocking-the-EU outcome is obvious after a couple of minutes of thinking about it in game theory terms. Another one to look out for is companies (both physical and digital) that never even considered doing business in the EU, but who would have if it were easy.
So you're suggesting that they joined the program specifically to leak it later?
Not technical/concrete (examples are missing!) enough for me to really understand what techniques the author is getting at. How would the author achieve all these exclusion mechanisms in a distributed system instead of letting the database engine handle that?
They all suck, even the ones that don't look like race car seats.

At the very least, the gas piston will fail to hold the position afater a couple of years at most. I don't even care about my chair being easibly adjustable in the first place.

Then the "leather" is the cheapest material imaginable and will start to peel off even before the piston gives in.

The handrests are either not adjustable or completely flimsy.
Yeah, in separate databases on separate systems. The network plane of a phone provider should only be able to access a database mapping IMSI -> account ID, and the billing/customer service department should only be able to access a database mapping account ID -> actual account data.

Unfortunately, anything involving phones is based on literally decades of stuff that was made in a time where every participant in the network was trusted by default, and bringing up the legacy compatibility stuff to modern standards is all but impossible.
They have limited amount of resources and people have limited time capacity.

Mozilla clearly has little interest in providing a browser with strong privacy protections by default.

Most of the developers that I know don't even bother with Firefox testing any more.

Exactly. Not to me. Fuck subscriptions for every little thing without ownership. If BMW want to sell a license for heated seats or automatic headlight wipers, more power to them, but count me out.
Problem is eventually you need it for Google Ads, or YouTube really for many things. And none of them are "vital" if they go wrong. They aren't core income pipeline parts. And then you get sucked in.

B2B and go to a conference? Where are you putting your video demo reels/talks? YouTube

Consumer and testing marketing messages for something non-consumer? Google Ads.

Your B2B client wants you to provide your SaaS via a private endpoint on GCP? What else are you going to do than use GCP?

Then once you are on it on company computers, it's a short walk to Google Docs and then Google Workspace, etc.
How the 1980s Engineered the Collapse of the Working Class
Unfortunately there is not enough funding for American municipal recycling programs. After China stopped buying American recyclables, most programs shut down nationwide. Then the pandemic, which I do not believe has led to a resurgence.

I completely agree with you that a national beverage tax, refundable, would be a fantastic idea. The problem I see will be in how the program is administered. There will be tension between federal and state over who gets part of the money, who funds the program, maintains it, etc. How to get retailers to put the machines in their store which takes away inventory space? Pay them? Require it?

So many questions. Probably a federal tax that then redistributes the money equally to each state to fund local recycling programs would be easier.
Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 Review: Cooler, Faster, Better?
No, I cannot agree that this would be called the consumer.

Yes, you have technically moved the interface type away from the implementation, but just for the sake of it, without any other upsides. The consumer is still the package that is using and importing this interface type, just from another package now.

K8s was designed around deployment on premise on bare metal hardware.

Israel-Hamas is nowhere close to the end, and ceasefire is probably only because it is too difficult for Israel to fight on two fronts. It is existential conflict which was thought to be short but is still ongoing without end in sight.

Both Hamas and Hezbollah are proxies of Iran - Russia - China alliance. They are going nowhere.

Disengagement in Ukraine is only possible if Russia decides that it needs time to regroup and heal. It is an existential conflict with no end in sight. If Ukraine falls, conflict will move on to the rest of eastern Europe after a short while, as Ukraine should have only been a first step of the plan for Russia to control Europe.
LLMs surpass human experts in predicting neuroscience results
I am sure the consultants and others peddling Kubernetes like it, since they are getting the paycheck for bringing it on, or cementing their position, as they are the ones with the expert knowledge of the system then, if anyone is at all, after something has been migrated to Kubernetes.
I prefer traditional search engines. I still use google. I'm also perpetually frustrated though...
No, you can't.

Our understanding of physical constants is based on empirical confirmation via multiple samples. They're still just probably correct, and we haven't confirmed the laws of physics are uniform across either time or space.

The amount of work/cost of using k8s for handling them in comparison to doing it "old style" is probably negative by now.
Back then if the system you were dialing into was a university there was a good chance you could access the Internet.
Show HN: Cloudberry Database – Greenplum Fork, Now an Apache Incubator Project
Background: Greenplum Database (after the Broadcom acquisition of VMWare) has gone closed-source and completely shut down its open-source community.

Cloudberry, created by the original developers of Greenplum Database, is an open-source Massively Parallel Processing (MPP) database. It evolves from the open-source version of the Greenplum Database® but features a newer PostgreSQL kernel and more advanced enterprise capabilities. Cloudberry can serve as a data warehouse and can also be used for large-scale analytics and AI/ML workloads.

Cloudberry has just entered the Apache Incubator and rebranded to Apache Cloudberry.

We’re thrilled to share this milestone with the Hacker News community. Whether you’re a Greenplum enthusiast or passionate about open-source databases, we’d love your feedback and support!

Learn more in the official announcement[1] or explore the project on GitHub[2].

Can you explain why systematic racism in one of the richest company's in the world isn't deserving of the amount of damages awarded and that the amount is arbitrary? Should the amount have been lower so they would effectively not feel it and feel emboldened to continue with their actions? Would you have been ok with a lower fine and jail time for anyone in the org chart that knew?
My experiences with Asus have been terrible.

First Asus purchase ever. USB Bluetooth dongle. Stopped working in 2 weeks.

Second. An Asus GTX 770. It broke in 3 months.

Third. Asus Xonar PCIE Sound Card. Optical did not work, started hissing/having static in less than a year.

Fourth. Asus motherboard for 1st gen Ryzen. Tried to update bios on arrival, it bricked.

I am never NEVER buying anything Asus related ever again.

It’s kind of cool that type hints can be reflected on to do things (see Pydantic). Other than that I find it pretty cumbersome to use in practice, coming from TypeScript. Semi-relatedly I also dislike Python’s different ways to access objects/dicts, it feels arbitrary and cumbersome.

Two major issues:

- "a 3rd party can patch it" != "a competent and non-malicious 3rd party will bother to patch it in a timely manner". Let alone "Joe User will search for, find, correctly identify, and install that saintly-3rd-party patch". At best, this would modestly reduce e-waste & obsolescence.

- Outside of maybe Apple, nobody selling little network products is designing their own silicon, or even has authority over all the IP in them. The latter is often locked down by a web of (international) supplier contracts. Trying to force retroactive changes to such contracts, at scale, could become a 1,000-lawyer disaster.

In my case, it was the ingress running out of subdomains because each staging environment would get its own subdomain, and our system had a bug that caused them to not be cleaned up. So the CI/CD was leaking subdomains, eventually the list became too long and it bumped the production domain off the list.
I've always responded to Mars ambitions with, first try a colony on the top of Mt Everest. There's more water there, more oxygen, and it's nine months closer to supplies, spare parts and emergency services.

If you can't keep Camp Mt. Everest going, then you definitely won't have a snowball's chance on Mars.
I'm surprised there are so few on the market. The reason I gave up on Nokia in 2020 was a handful of apps: taxi, maps, messengers.

I would want to have at least dev + prod clusters, sometimes people want to test controllers or they have badly behaved workloads that k8s doesn't isolate well (making lots of giant etcd objects). You can also test k8s version upgrades in non-prod.

That said it sounds like these people just made a cluster per service which adds a ton of complexity and loses all the benefits of k8s.

>C is the de facto language that's considered a boring and reliable solution.

Ive spent last year doing C and I disagree, it is not reliable
I don't see the problem with state machines. When you're dealing with something that handles external input, "the input is invalid" is, for your program, a valid state. For example a regular expression engine doesn't try to make it impossible to pass in a string that doesn't match; it just returns a result indicating that the string didn't match.

Database connections are exactly what the "functional core, imperative shell" principle is about. The idea is to handle all I/O at the boundary. So shell is never passing open database connections into the functional core; it's instead retrieving everything that's needed up front so that the core can be deterministic.

"Functional core, imperative shell" might actually be my favorite of the principles, because it makes code so much easier to test. Every time I come across a codebase whose test suite has to make intense use of mocking to cope with how they allowed concurrency to spread throughout every single layer and module in the application, I get a little bit sad that nobody did its authors the service of teaching them that you don't actually need to make your own life hard like that.

It also tends to result in less code to understand and maintain overall, IME. Because if you limit the number of places where an error is even possible, you don't get stuck having to litter your codebase with excess (and often repetitive) error handling code.
As an anecdata most of my friends believe that we know everything about ancient history. They are also very eager to hear about other parts of human knowledge to be progressing, for example AI models. Yet, when it comes to history they have this sort of static view.
Seen them in probably every convenience store in South Korea and some other East/South East Asian countries. Coffee, juice.

The idea of LOOL (LibreOffice OnLine) is to be an embeddable component; we have used it before on a Moodle site. And this is the same for COOL (Collabora Office OnLine), which is used by Nextcloud Office (as components called COOLWSD, and LOKit).

A few examples:

* Slow, thoughtful, hard sci-fi that's well-written and well acted, with immersive (not campy) sets and effects. Enough of that to fill an evening a week.

* A spiritual successor to Firefly with the same production requirements and release schedule described above.

Even YouTube is bound by the same limitations as the AAA streaming platforms are—you can't sink money into something that's too niche, and right now doing things well costs buckets of money. So I'm sure there are a few fan films on YouTube adjacent to my interests, but their production value is going to be far below what it could be if things were made cheaper.
Or much shorter, around two years, if it was part of the Capacitor Plague.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_plague#Premature_fai...

The normal lifespan of a non-solid electrolytic capacitor of consumer quality, typically rated at 2000 h/85 °C and operating at 40 °C, is roughly 6 years. It can be more than 10 years for a 1000 h/105 °C capacitor operating at 40 °C. Electrolytic capacitors that operate at a lower temperature can have a considerably longer lifespan. ... The life of an electrolytic capacitor with defective electrolyte can be as little as two years.

It could be there to control emissions. You’d need to analyze the circuit to determine its purpose.
They put things like JSON and regex in the 'spork' module, which is kinda like libc; theres a strong internal drive to keep the core light. Many projects depend on spork, so it its likely to be installed on early.

The docs are decent, though I agree there are still gaps in practical examples, this has been supplemented by https://janetdocs.com, which are linked as "community examples" per function

I've read the book and I found it very fascinating and kind of playful, which actually makes learning the Janet program language much more fun. However, I found the documentation of the language lacking in many ways. Oftentimes there are functions or commands that are just there, but there's no example or explanation. or explanation as to what they do. In fact, there are a lot of those that I found in the book, but I couldn't find in the documentation. So this is one of the reasons I stopped learning Janet, even though I really like the idea of this language, and the fact that it has many sane defaults and similarities to mainstream languages instead of like adhering to archaic Lisp conventions. At the end of the day, it's not actually a LISP because it's not cons lists. And it is fine by me, but again, I found the language not fully documented.
Surprised about the mac- I still have a maxed out 2010 Macbook Pro - 16gb ram and SATA- and it has aged so well it is still fully usable with most modern software and workflows, and feels fast. I also have a new Apple Silicon Macbook Pro and it is the screen and battery that mostly makes the newer one fundamentally nicer to use. I don’t game or do intensive things like video editing though- mostly just web and coding in a terminal.
> Go needed to allow multiple outputs because functions can accept multiple inputs.

I don't think that's the right conclusion, unless you have any source or insight?

It would explain why you can directly cast the multi-return-values into parameters when calling, but... that doesn't seem to fit go at all.

What I would think is that "go needed multi-return to be able to return errors along values", and the mentioned feature is just some vestige. It's not like go ever implements anything for the sake of consistency or correctness.

The real work doesn't happen in the LLM.

Having worked with LLMs over the past year+ trying to get them to do useful things in various contexts, the real work is typically pretty boring data acquisition (e.g. scraping) + ETL and then making that data available to the LLM.
I’m sure the silence is intentional, they’re a subsidiary of Panasonic. It seems like this story is just starting to hit the press, and Blue Yonder publicly commenting on it would surely validate concerns around the severity of the incident. It doesn’t really benefit them to proactively communicate at this point.
There is literally another MOND article discussed in this very forum every week or so. All theories are provisional and based on finite evidence and general consensus. There is no such thing as empirical truth the way you imagine.

Fair point, I think it depends on the certainty. I am just about 100% certain Neil Armstrong was the first human to walk on the moon, so "first" makes sense. Hillary and Norgay were the first "confirmed" climbers of Everest. The "confirmed" part is needed because it is reasonable that others before them made it without evidence. I am open to the possibility a civilization had a writing system before the Sumerians, and the evidence has been destroyed or not found yet.

This whole concept is what the skeptical shorthand of "you can't prove a negative" actually means. You can show some instance or set of instances of something, but you cannot show that something is universally always true. The tentative nature of our ability to understand the world is the basis for why we use science to approximate objective reality.
Do not throw away process because bad and wrong processes exist. Anytime you have a process you need to have a process in place to review and modify the process as needed. You should reward people for successfully changing the process - enough that people don't feel like it is a wasted effort, but not so much people look for ways to change it just to get the reward.

The right process is very valuable. However I will fully agree that there is a lot of bad process out there that people are following because change is too hard (sometimes this is all in their head and change is easy if you would just try!)
I think gadgets should have an EOL date on them, manufacturers might even start competing on who gives updates for longer.
This article seems to make such strong associations of "far right" with AI generated content. But this neglects this is a problem that permeates every facet of society, all political spectrums and institutions of power.

The manipulative capabilities continue to improve rapidly and we are imminently being thrust into what some call The Cartesian Crisis.

The Cartesian Crisis arises when the state of civilization is such that individuals are no longer able to know the certainty of any information. It is the existence in a world devoid of verifiable truth or reality. The ability to discern reality is a fundamental necessity for the mind to function sanely. Consequently, this scenario presumes an outcome in which the world descends into abject disorder, as truth and reason fall, and the walls between the sane and the insane no longer exists.

A much further elaboration I wrote here FYI - https://www.mindprison.cc/p/the-cartesian-crisis
