I built Filestash (https://github.com/mickael-kerjean/filestash), an open source Dropbox like frontend for any cloud storage / protocols (S3, SFTP, FTP, SMB, NFS, etc...). This was made as a reflection of the Dropbox launch top comment with the infamous FTP guy as I was wondering what was missing from the FTP specs to be able to make a great interface to a protocol like FTP.

The money come from customisation and enterprise plugins (SSO, audit plugins, etc..). The entire product was made so you can quickly build custom file management solution by assembling a bunch of lego blocks (aka plugins)
sqlite also has some runtime checks that are expected to be always true or always false, and solves that by using a custom macro that removes these branches during branch coverage test.

The same would be possible in Rust. Everything that could panic has a non-panicking alternative, and you could conditionally insert `unreachable_unchecked()` to error handling branches to remove them. That wouldn't be most idiomatic, but SQLite's solution is also a custom one.

I haven't fully fact checked this, but I have read that some of the same scientists the tobacco industry hired to fake research and lie to the public about the harms of smoking have been working as GRAS panelists tasked with convincing the FDA that food additives are totally safe. Seems like nothing could go wrong there.

No, that's not all the recent studies do; they also attempt to separate inherited environment, and estimate direct vs. indirect heritability.

It's funny, I can point to comments from IQ-fixated people on this site from 10 years ago saying that GWAS was going to settle heritability stuff. All that's gone now, of course. Now the work is apparently fatally flawed.

Either you have a better sense of humor than I do, or that anecdote is especially not useful.
Surprisingly sparse on actual information considering all this humble-bragging (actually, not even so humble) about how he was teaching peasants to catch fish for 20 years, to be forced yet again to hand it out with his own bare hands! Well, he didn't hand out much.

The post reiterates some facts from the original statement, which are pretty vague for most, I believe. The only useful clarification is that simulation results are indeed unverifiable, lol (as some might have suspected, but still nice to have a definitive confirmation from somebody who is supposedly an expert on this).

Then it addresses the cringeworthy "Everettian multiverse" statement discussion. Granted, it indeed was one of the most discussed things on the previous thread, but I have honestly assumed that it's so obviously moot that one can simply ignore it. Everyone knows that at least one of top-3 threads on HN comments must be either a lame joke or some sort of bikeshedding argument.

And that's pretty much it. "This blogger said this usual generic words, that reporter asked for an interview, but I declined, also, kudos to Google team for amazing work, it's unclear if it's any good, but it surely isn't bad!" Uh, ok, thanks for the clarification, man.

I get it that this post was written in a hurry, but given all that "fish-handing" stuff and all these commenters in this very thread complaining about how they don't know the difference between "trapped-ion or neutral-atom" qubits (as if this distinction was the very essence of the post, which author paid much more attention to than to his responses to NYT journalists) it just doesn't deliver.

...So, what did I expect? Well, I didn't expect anything, but let's state the obvious. Google's benchmark was to produce some very specific (and unverifiable) random distribution (which, BTW, he kinda says, but waaay less clearly than it could have been said). Obviously, nobody cares about that. Everyone cares about when they will be able to run Shor's algorithm on Google's Chip, and factor primes and deprecate RSA into oblivion. Obviously. Some may wonder why it's not possible to do it on that Willow thing, others may suspect that it may have something to do with the fact they need a ton of "physical" qubits to emulate logical qubits because of error-correction. Also, it is widely advertised, that the very thing that is special about Willow is vastly better (and somehow "more promising to scale") error-correction. So, what people really want from a generous and skillful fisherman is obviously some critical, appropriately-speculative, ELI5-style analysis of the updated state of the art. What does Willow have, what does it need to become practical, what are some realistic projections on when we can get there. Where is all of that? Where is the fucking fish?!

Ah, no, never had to do that. There are cases sometimes when the janitorial staff breaks say a light fixture. What we've found is that immediate and direct communication about what happened, how it happened, what will be done to prevent it from happening again, and how we're going to fix is usually is well received and the partner compensates/credits them for the damage. Of course the invoice amount is smaller for the "repair" so therefore my scrape is less. I've tried to explain to my partner that there is a very select type of client he wants and he for the most part has received it well. The larger industrial type facilities are better than the smaller in my experience.
The Book Sideways Is Bizarre
The book is fucking insane. As far as I can tell the entire premise of the book is that the author is a wildly unreliable narrator. For all I know the two aren't in the Santa Ynez valley and are somewhere totally different and it's all written in metaphor. The whole thing is bizarre. Reading it straight is boring, but if you read it with imagination it gets weird. Like <SPOILER> Maya definitely appears to organize having them attempted to be murdered which Miles gets off on which is fucking insane </SPOILER>.

Seriously bizarre book.
Couldn't the rise in car crashes post COVID also be attributed by people having more jobs they have to run around to at the same time? More drivers on the road at any given moment due to ridesharing / food delivery?

> This variation is similar to The Fat Man, with the additional assertion that the fat man who may be pushed is a villain who is responsible for the whole situation: the fat man was the one who tied five people to the track, and sent a trolley in their direction with the intention of killing them. In this variation, a majority of people are willing to push the fat man.[38]
Unlike in the previous scenario, pushing the fat villain to stop the trolley may be seen as a form of retributive justice or self-defense.

Model Context Protocol and Fireproof Demo: To Do List
Show HN: Quickly submit links to HN from any app on your Android device
I enjoy submitting interesting articles to HN when I run across them; however, I've found the submission process to be a bit tedious at times. To combat that, I've been using a browser extension[0] that will quickly send the link and title to HN. Unfortunately, most Android browsers don't support extensions, so submitting links to HN has required me to copy-paste the URL, manually select the page title, and then paste that into HN as well.

To combat this, I've created a small tool that I call Send HN. It leverages the system share APIs so that you can click the share button in your browser, feed reader, social media app, or really anything, and have what you're looking at sent directly to HN. The app even queries the URL to extract and prefill the page title!

This app is a little different than most apps you've used. Since my goal was to make sharing links to HN as dead-easy as possible, there is literally no UI in the app. When you install it, it won't show up in your app drawer; you'll only see it as a share target. I may add a barebones UI in the future, but for now it has none.

Disclaimer: I actually know practically nothing about dedicated Android app development, so I used Llama 3.3 70B to write pretty much all the code. It's actually quite satisfying for a small project like this to use an LLM to write and refine the code.

The app is GPLv3 and available on GitHub: https://github.com/LorenDB/SendHN

You said about oncologists: They profit off of providing treatment to human misery.

You’ve never been an oncology patient apparently. They don’t see it as ‘profit’ at all, they are trying to save lives.
You believe that if you got a call from an AI bot selling you something you’d believe it to be human long enough to go through with the purchase? How many bridges are you looking to buy?
It's not always the cost that is prohibitive (although sometimes the shipping is the same price as the piece of wall art). What stops me from really exploring shipping is finding packaging for each, the time it takes to package and drive to CanadaPost etc. It probably sounds like I'm just making excuses, and you'd be right :)

This is just the first step in a bunch of cool stuff you can do. Now that the data is in a syncing database you can have models across multiple vendors and backends all working with the data locally while collaborating on changes. This means you can use the right model for the job without worrying about tracking where the data needs to go, instead each model can react to the appropriate fields and update types.

This is a super simple codebase so if you fork it and make something real, please share it with us.
>I think a lot of racists (or race realists, depending on your perspective) are today a lot more concerned about the influx of southern natives than about the blacks.

Don't forget, American Black people speak American English (albeit frequently with a dialect, but they're capable of code-switching to standard American English). New immigrants from south of the border do not. It would make sense for many people, even if racist, to consider Blacks a part of their "tribe" since they share a language and culture, to an extent, whereas Spanish speakers from the south would be seen as a different tribe.
This take is so deliriously apathetic that I am starting to wonder if HN is being infected with bot accounts.
> This did not avoid https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigel_Farage_Coutts_bank_scand...

I almost wrote about that case, but my post was getting long enough already. He was denied the fancy account he had and offered a basic account. Obviously you can have concerns about that (and note that this was a scandal, and ultimately brought down that bank's CEO), but it's certainly orders of magnitude less bad than being denied access to the banking system entirely.

> at some point you have to accept that the public are also ultimately responsible through the ballot box

Up to a point. Abusing some small minority is a well known failure mode of democracy, especially if you can paint that minority as bad people. And arguing that the public shouldn't be outraged about this because the public obviously approved of it is circular and backwards. Who do you even vote for to express outrage at debanking? It seems like the sort of thing that the CFPB should be stepping in to stop, so you vote D, but if you believe what the article wants you to believe (you shouldn't) then the problem is FINCEN so maybe you vote R and hope they dismantle it? IDK, flip a coin?
Are you being sarcastic here? I just got off work and still have the brain fog.
TDD teaches people who aren't good at writing tests about the need for falsiability: that the test doesn't pass anyway without the code change.

That goes out the window after refactoring though. Tests created before refactoring continue to pass, but they are connected to changes that no longer exist and therefore could not be backed out to show that the tests fail. (Not without rolling back the refactoring). Or, tests that were connected to independent changes now cannot be easily made to fail independently. Refactoring tied them together. Thus they are redundant.
they buried the lede. google doesn't have 2 qubits to rub together 100%. 105 "qubits" make a "single" qubit after coalescing or whatever. I'm really annoyed because i've kinda followed this since the mid-90s and this is the first time i am hearing that "it'll probably take millions of physical qubits to crack 256 bit"

to me the whole endeavor smells like a bait and switch or something. I remember about 10 years ago canada or someone had at least a few hundred qubits if not close to 1000 of them, but these were physical qubits, and don't represent anything, really. Google's 105 finally makes a "fast enough" single qubit or at best half of a pair.

I'm not talking about you getting a worse price today.

Suppose in some other industry, some monopolist consistently sells goods at a loss to drive out all the competition. In the last moments when they are doing this, yes its cheaper for you to buy from the monopolist at that moment. But after everyone is driven out of the market, you'll be paying more. Even though the monopolist is still the cheapest amongst all options.

I'm saying you're already in the "after" scenario here. You're saying that you can save a few cents with PFOF when you cross that 50 cents spread and yes that's true. But I'm saying that spread should be 25 cents and no-one is offering that because they've been driven out.

Now that I think about it, the more immediate consequence to you is that some of your order will not fill because PFOF exists, rather than you getting a worst price. Say you put a bid to buy at 100. And then I come along and want to sell at 100. Normally, you'd get to buy from me. But because my order is PFOF'd, Citadel decides that buying from me at 101 is a good deal so they do. This happens a few time with different sellers then you get fed up and/or the market moves. So you raise your bid to 150. Citadel sells to you at 149. You saved 1 off that 150 but lost out 49 from the trade you'd have gotten from me without PFOF.

apples to apples , would be to compare all domestic electrical risks, especialy accidents involving serious injury and fatalities,over time.
There is going to be a significant drop in serious
accidents after the introduction of breakers and gfi's ,vs, when there were only fuses, and all to
often the fuses were replaced with a copper penny.
And they were two wire with no neutral.So two different appliences could be reverse grounded in the same area, bad bad budaboom.
So in these kinder ,ha!, more grounded times, its likely that total risk is still going down, as older legacy wireing is replaced.
There is still many thousands of miles of tube and knob wireing, still carrying current.
With.a significant rise in the proportion of transportation, bieng converted to electrical power, there will be an increase in "electrical" accidents, but I think that ,if that was compared to the accidents occuring now with gasoline powered transport, again the numbers will be falling. Gasoline is nasty, dangerous stuff, which is very similar to the electrolite in lithium batteries, except that there is much much more of it around....anf I have yet to see comparisons done, based on actual total accident rates, to the point that ,there is never any mention of the total gasoline fires.
You can get around some of this coordination by doing more work locally, in-process -- but you're risking the availability of your primary API. The work that you're doing as a background job or workflow may:

1. Be unbounded -- 1 API call may correspond to thousands or hundreds of thousands of reads or writes

2. Be resource intensive, on either the database side by eating up connections which are needed by your API, or by blocking your event loop/process, particularly in Python and Typescript

> Once you get to the scale that breaks a library based system like DBOS, you need to move away from a central coordinator

There are different levels of coordination here. At some point, workers are always going to have to coordinate "who is working on what" -- whether that's by placing locks and using status updates in the database, using a traditional queue, or using a central server like you described with DBOS Cloud. The same goes for a dedicated orchestrator -- those can also partition by "who is working on which workers." In other words, a dedicated service can also be decentralized, these don't seem mutually exclusive.

To make this more concrete -- let's say, for example, you have hundreds of workers on a library based system like DBOS which all correspond to individual connections and transactions to read/write data. Whereas in a system like Temporal or Hatchet, you might have 10s of nodes to support 1000s of workers, with the ability to bulk enqueue and dequeue more work, which will increase throughput and reduce DB load rather significantly. You'd lose (most of) the benefits of bulk writes in a library based system.
My score is 9100.

Typically, when referring to “Swiss banks” people in the industry refer to the likes of Pictet/Lombard/Baer. Credit Suisse was closer to Bank of America than a Swiss bank.

It’s the implementation of the quantum computer - what are the qubits and gates and things made of?

It is like we are still figuring out whether it’s better to use vacuum tubes or semiconductors or what. Google used superconducting circuits for Willow, which can be fabricated with computer-chip-style lithography etc, but needs to be kept extremely cold and the connectivity is obviously etched permanently into the circuit. Other technologies have different pros and cons.
