Based on the [press release](https://www.datadoghq.com/blog/datadog-acquires-quickwit/) it looks like they're hinting towards offering a 'self-hosted' model for customers that can't use pure SaaS solutions due to regulations:

> Organizations in financial services, insurance, healthcare, and other regulated industries must meet stringent data residency, privacy, and regulatory requirements while maintaining full visibility into their systems. This becomes challenging when logs need to remain at rest in customers’ environments or specific regions, hindering teams’ ability to attain seamless observability and insight. To help our customers meet these requirements without sacrificing visibility or introducing multiple logging tools, we are pleased to announce that Quickwit—a popular open source distributed search engine—is joining Datadog.

That's usually a good thing, setting your HEAD to a symbolic ref or a commit are very different operations. Having a switch makes sense and probably catches beginner errors rather than letting them know afterwards.

I don't feel like typing 'git s -d <branch>' has slowed me down in practice but you're technically right of course (or I would add a 'd="switch -d'"' alias).
This reminds me of the header on the home page of one of my favorite network theory books:

Some highlights from my post in a lengthy discussion about adding bookmarks to Kagi: https://kagifeedback.org/d/1560-bookmarks/39

bookmarks are notes that say "this URL is important or useful."

- often I want to add more notes

- adding text content of url to bookmark as note would help find bookmark later (and preserve content)

both bangs and bookmarks provide shortcuts for launching a particular URL

- bangs are just a special case of bookmarks that adds a trigger and/or query parameter(s).

I often want to attach notes/urls to tasks as I work on them.

- tasks will simply be notes with a due date and/or priority

- it will be simple to convert between bookmarks, notes, tasks, and bangs (they are almost identical)

bookmarks can be a todo-list of items...

- to read later

- to check when searching for something

- to do when following a (daily) routine

---

Also, I recently learned Google offers a bookmarking service: https://lifehacker.com/tech/google-has-a-secret-bookmarks-fe...

Funny, I just commented that I like the Roku method. My inputs show up as tiles on the home screen alongside the other apps. You can show/hide the ones you want.
I've had excellent experiences with a few different Roku TVs. I think my old dedicated Roku was a tiny bit faster in some menus but in the end it's been the same experience. I do acknowledge the privacy implications of Roku and the fact they inject some ads on the home screen but it's probably been the smoothest streaming platform thing I've used.

I had a recent model Vizio. That was absolutely terrible. Eventually the power supply killed itself and I haven't bothered replacing it. Over a decade ago I was a fan of Vizio, that one purchase forever soured me on the brand. I'll never buy and never recommend them again.
Many cells have https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contractile_vacuole

It's an organelle that periodically contracts to expel water from inside the cell, out. This prevents the cell from absorbing too much water through osmosis and rupturing.

Even the individual cells are bailing water, as if from a sinking life raft. Always have been. Life itself is a process of dysfunctional function. Actively resisting death. It makes sense that we see this reflected at all scales. It is not a disorder, it is the natural state of living in a universe with entropy.

What is the general consensus on “curbs on automation”?

Interest in protecting jobs makes sense. But it seems like a balanced ramp allowing for innovation and the transition to automating away manual labor is positive for civilization. Is it that no one can agree on what that ramp looks like and how to approach things like retraining?

As I was predicting [0], unfortunately the gradual jobs displacement is already happening and WILL accelerate and "AGI" has always been about that but with no alternatives.

It already has been admitted, but of course we are about to be in an "age of abundance" with a complete utopia with all the robots going to work and us humans will be on 'universal basic income' when AGI is "achieved" all "for the benefit of humanity.

Ask HN: Backstory on OpenAI Logo?
Having spent some time on branding and with relevant firms, I have learned that branding and design can have a strong effect on the culture of a company.

This leads me to think the simplistic arrangement of six number 6s OpenAI went with is a bit strange given cultural connotations.

Has any backstory been leaked or told regarding the thought that went into this logo choice?

I learned a lot of history, politics and folklore reading Pratchett’s books. If he mentioned something specific I generally found it was real or at least echoed something real.

His knowledge, wisdom and love of humanity was something special.
I like Rodney Brooks, but I find the way he does these predictions to be very obtuse and subject to a lot of self-congratulatory interpretation. Highlighting something green that is "NET2021" and then saying he was right when something happened or didn't happen, when something related happened in 2024 mean that he predicted it right or wrong, or is everything subject to arbitrary interpretation? Where are the bold predictions? Sounds like a lot of fairly obvious predictions with a lot of wiggle room to determine if right or wrong.

Are there 3rd party remotes for these TVs? Or is the problem that there is not even a general "pause" command now?

I got an old TCL(don't get me started) and when the original remote died I got a noname IR thing that is even capable of switching to a custom channel.

Totally agree. Learning how to explain technology as a teenager to my grandparents and assist them with it in a way they can understand gave me a much more holistic view towards tech. I honestly believe it's helped me quite a bit in my career as a software engineer because I can communicate effectively with my non-technical coworkers and serve as a bridge between them and the devs.
Did all your friends with brain cancer know each other? If so, that seems like more than a coincidence.
I knew a guy who did this with chocolate. He used to get a candy bar from the vending machine at work like every day, but something happened, I think he either got a health scare or saw a documentary or maybe a combo of things and was like, "Gotta stop eating these shitty chocolate bars every day."

Started setting aside the coins he was using at the vending machine and at the end of the week would get a bar from a higher quality brand at the grocery store. Learned he really liked dark chocolate. Started upgrading to nicer and nicer chocolate. Last I heard from him he was going to some of the bougie chocolate shops downtown every few months.
So, do we trust the director of the CDC now or not?

What exactly didn't I understand?

https://web.archive.org/web/20210402002315/https://www.msnbc... <- full transcript, just in case

quote:

> And we have -- we can kind of almost see the end. We`re vaccinating so very fast, our data from the CDC today suggests, you know, that vaccinated people do not carry the virus, don`t get sick, and that it`s not just in the clinical trials but it`s also in real world data.

What exactly is misunderstood, taken out of context and misrepresented here?

The skeptics, who didn't trust the science, didn't trust the "do not carry the virus, don't get sick,..." quote, were right again.

I'm not saying that everyone is always wrong, i'm saying that you should blindly trust someone, because of science. Especially if they were incorrect previously. Remember the calculations of how many more vaccinations and infections are needed to reach herd immunity? Well... good luck with trusting that science too.

NOT trusting is the basis of all science, even if people don't trust the things you don't want to hear.... and especially if it turns out that they were correct. Blocking/banning/censoring those people is the same as banning non-believers in smoke smoke enemas 200 years ago.

> "fooless" means "lacks foo"

Exactly. "Serverless" lacks a server. Which, granted, wouldn't make sense with no context, but when you remember that the same types of applications were previously written to include a server and no longer include a server when written in a "serverless" fashion, that is exactly where the differentiation is found. It literally describes what it is.

> And it's not a new term by now, so there has been several years for me to have gained this impression or understanding

I have never, ever, seen "serverless" refer to anything else outside of the previous commenter who thinks it has something to do with hardware. But it clearly has nothing to do with hardware. There aren't warehouses full of "serverlesses" ready to be loaded onto trucks. It is not something physical. It is not in any way "hard", that much is obvious. It is undeniably a software term. So, what, exactly, is your impression?

> no judgements

"No judgements" is not something I would attribute to legal venues. I mean there are SOOOOOOOO many clubs with dress codes, and that's just scratching the surface.

It is my understanding that rave culture evolved out of the 90's illegal party scene which grew from the 80's acid house music scene. But even if you take it from the Acid Tests that would mean the parties were only legal for a year and have been illegal for nearly 60 years.

To some a rave is just any party, to me it refers to the event being a grassroots operation. For the people, by the people and which is usually done on the cheap because artists aren't usually rolling in dough.

To each their own though. I'm not gonna police your use of the word (unless you publish it apparently).
Well, once the CFPB is shut down, Experian can breathe easier.
Vizio did this back in the 2018 time frame (ask me how I know). It's a small Android tablet with the Vizio app on it. You can also just download the app onto your phone and use it that way. It was so unpopular that Vizio eventually relented and handed out normal remotes. As far as I know, their modern TVs continue to use a standard remote.
Do you actually need that in a Boolean context? It would only be useful for evaluating self-referent claims like "this sentence is false".
The other solution is to make it trivial to both fix and detect errors, by using the same pinout so nothing gets damaged, and letting the computer tell you if everything is right.

But with a car that's not really practical as things may not be accessible and easy to swap around.
How Expensify achieves extreme concurrency with NUMA balancing
I had some free time this holiday season and wrote up a blog post about how we use NUMA balancing on our 384-CPU, 6TB monster servers to keep the site humming reliably (and some of the challenges we've had to overcome). It's pretty low level, but I found there wasn't a lot of good info on how to optimize for high core-count servers, so I thought I'd share some experience. Enjoy!
This was one hell of a remote control

https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Harmony-Elite-Remote-Control...

even if it was pricey. (Used to be able to get them refurbed at a decent price...) The touchscreen works really well, you can even use it to control the cursor on a PC. It has the buttons you'd expect on a remote control. It can run your Phillips Hue, CD changer, Blu Ray Player, TV everything. Makes the dominant paradigm of Apple, Netflix, Spotify and all that look like garbage, but I guess a lot of people now don't have anything to control with it anymore.

The configuration of my system got messed up and and I didn't bother to fix it because I thought they'd discontinued it; the latest I've seen is that they quit manufacturing it but they are still keeping the database up so I might trying bringing it up again.

I believe it was already known that anything trained on The Pile contained references to copyrighted material from scihub. It seems unlikely that folks who chose to use these sources were completely unaware of the nature of the data. Presumably, given the urgency in the last 2-3 years to be a leader in this space, a number of shortcuts were taken.

The replies are talking about sugar industry advertizing and actual scientific discoveries that point to causation which I'm sure are real. But I even I remember just 10 years ago the common rhetoric being (even if it wasn't validated) "eat too much sugar and you'll get diabetes". Where I think the impression I had was, "Well people with diabetes have to be extremely careful about their sugar intake -> sugar causes diabetes."

I will conceed that's not how science or the cause and effect works, but that's what I and everyone around me thought.

Certainly jobs will say they require a college degree.

I have three and a half years of a five year degree in computer engineering. My current job as a VP of Engineering "requires" a degree. The language in the job description is very clear.

Guess what? That's always negotiable with enough experience.

If you can talk intelligently about your subject matter in depth and you can demonstrate a history of that, then you're fine.

A degree doesn't magically make you a gifted programmer. It merely shows you where to start. You still need a lifetime of self guided continual education to be really successful in your career.

I think where it hurt me most was early in my career where I likely earned less than I would have with a degree.

This will likely become harder to do with time as computer science and hardware slow their ever changing advancement and become more established.

By all means get the degree if you can. But you can still over come not having one with enough self study and being strategic about which jobs you take.
On true for all - you’d need to split it by era I think

During the early Llama 1 days The Pile dataset was in heavy use by many. Bit later people figured out that a subset of it - Books 3 - was especially problematic.

I’m guessing all the big houses threw that piece out in later models since it’s extra radioactive

NET2021 means that he predicted that the event would take place on or after 2021, so happening in 2024 satisfies that. Keep in mind these are six-year-old predictions.

Depends on the components. You need to get enough heat into the joint that both sides are hot (pad and component) but not enough that you burn up a sensitive part. The hack people use, wetting the joint with solder by touching it to the iron can lead to a cold joint. Don’t do that.

Turn your iron up (I use 675) and ensure you’re touching the pad first, it’s a much larger heat sync. Lean the tip of the iron up to the component leg, give it a second and then feed solder into the other side of the leg, letting the leg of the component melt the solder and flood the joint. I use flux if I’m really worried about the joint, the fluid transfers heat better. There should be a clear fillet arcing between the pad and leg of the component, solder should be wet 100% around the pad and gracefully blend into the component leg. The joint should not look sandy or dirty or have bad surface finish.
If that world comes to pass, it will become mandatory not optional and I would search for the nearest bullet to end it all. I would ask where Google is finding people to spout this codswallop but I know the answer.

I have had two friends get it, and neither made it. Another died of it, but it metastasized from their lung (Yeah, I have known a hell of a lot of people with cancer. Most have survived).

If you have known 4 people with the same cancer, they call that a "cluster," in the vernacular, and it might not be a bad idea to see if you can figure out where it comes from.

Here on Long Island, we have numerous breast cancer clusters. I am pretty cynical that people know the cause, but don't want to deal with it.
