Hey Skinny,

What kind of system/application/query pattern does DynamoDB optimize for that relational databases are worse options for?

I'm legitimately ignorant and a lot of people seem to dislike it. I remember thinking that running queries in JSON seemed silly. Heh.
He also has his protagonists hail from the fictional town of Shiroiwa-cho 白岩町, which is a direct translation of King's frequently-seen "Castle Rock". I wonder how many Japanese readers of the original spotted that.
Does anyone remember that mid-2000s, 3D competitor to Flash? i think the name started with A like Ankh or something like that but I could be wildly off. It had an IDE and basically ran as a plugin in the browser. It died a quiet death.

This site kinda sorta reminds me of that.

Do you think the bombing would have stopped if they took the deal, based on how Israel has historically operated during "ceasefires"?

Just curious. I do think they should have taken the deal.
In basically every other era of investing since 1930, you would probably have benefitted from that approach. While I think you're right to set aside the prudence you were targeting in favor of a passive investment approach, I also think that once the Fed ZIRP era ends, the knowledge you amassed will again become useful.

Maybe, maybe not. But when the PRC decides the time is right to take Taiwan, it will have prepared the ground by making sure lots of Americans saw TikToks (made by other Americans) saying basically this.
Hey, that's awesome. Thank you for launching on the site and kind words.

1) The category issue is probably because it's counting upcoming launches as well. I will take a look at it and fix that right up.

2) Thanks for catching that date issue. I will dig into it and get it sorted out ASAP to avoid any mix ups.

It means a lot that you took the time to share these with me. Wishing you a great launch, and thanks again for the support.

McDonald's touch-screen were only profitable because users ordered more. Possibly Covid and processes to get costs down have changed this, but not to begin.

I feel like your comment falls under "Nobody cares"

I love the touch screens and having the time to order what I want. I used to rush my order at the checkout and never got exactly what I wanted.

If you did a start-up 'ethical ordering' you'd care, made money, and probably forced McDonalds to change it's touch screens. In South Korea it asks the user are you sure, here's the extra kJ, when it does an upsell.

Your first three problems also apply to Italy. Why don't we read as much about it? I find it bizarre. (South) Korea, the same. Non-Asians just love to focus on the extreme positive and negative aspects of modern Japanese society; it is weird.
Even the Russians admit their LWRs are cheaper.
There’s a pretty big leap between perfectly fair and having perfect knowledge of the future. You can know that a fair coin gives exactly 50% chance to flip heads or tails without knowing what the outcome of the flip is going to be.
It's not good enough. The place I most want it is in Sheets and it doesn't know how to fill in random cells with stuff. It can populate new tables and stuff with example data which is fine as a start but I usually want it to copilot my formulae.

Fun fact, a rogue LLM impersonating a human in the 17th century is also how we got the term "imaginary" numbers. It also wrote some truly terrible philosophy but it started with a pithy sentence so everyone remembers it.

Can you say more about the Supermicro “hit job”? Last thing I saw was E&Y resigning as their auditor which certainly suggests some potential accounting issues.
One of the major problems is that across the Arab world it is politically useful for internal politics for there not to be peace between Israel and Palestine. It is a very “good” issue for politicians/kings to have an enemy, a struggle for their peoples to be passionate about. Everything that’s being done by the Arab neighbor governments is calculated for their own political benefit. They don’t want peace or a solution because that would deprive them of something that keeps them in power.

So those who would be terrorists are funded and encouraged, the fight is promoted, and the Palestinian people are manipulated into greater belligerency instead of a peaceful equitable resolution.

I think that's a hopeless discussion to have on HN, but I think it's possible to have a clear-eyed and objective take on what Hamas should have done back in May, because we can see what happened. If the ceasefire terms had been substantially different today, the analysis would be complicated; they aren't, so it's pretty simple.
Yes.

Having water artificially cheap for agricultural uses is a mistake.

If you're concerned about food security, subsidize actual food that could go to people in some way, but let water hit a real market price.

Else, we end up subsidizing water for clever export and other uses we don't really want, and we remove any incentive for efficiency in water use.
pretty unconvinced. when desktop gaming started you didn't have low latency high bandwidth reliable internet. if you did, you probably wouldn't have people buying cards at all and instead GeForce Now would have been the whole market.

we're already at that stage now with AI / LLMs. this type of physical product will remain niche.
"overcharge" is a qualitative source. If you're not working in the economics, I don't see much worth in finding the exact line between such a qualitative word. The market has some intuitiveness and know that charging 30$ for an item that costs $3 to make is highway robbery. Doesn't matter when or if we start to agree that $5, $6, or even $10 is reasonable (and yes, these are all pretty high markups to begin with compared to typical markups for stores).

We don't need to find the touchdown line when we're already outside of the stadium and the parking lot anyway.
Israel is hugely dependent on the US, though.
Google Photos "consent" is one of the worst dark patterns I regularly encounter.

About weekly it prompts me with a huge popup whether I want to continue without backup, with "enable backup" selected by default. If I deselect this I'm prompted with another popup asking me to back up specific selected photos. If I misclick either of these (which is easy, since they pop up after briefly showing my photos which I'm actively trying to tap on), then Google will start hoovering up all my photos without confirmation.

Their "consent" form is user-hostile and it's disingenuous to hold it as an example of Google protecting privacy.

Pro tip: install Google Gallery which (ironically) is effectively a de-Googled Photos. Unfortunately it's also stripped down in other ways but it suffices for simply viewing photos on your own device.
They have an option to do an ACATS to another brokerage account. They do not mention specifically, but it looks like this would be considered a stock transfer "in kind" which should not be considered a taxable event.

maybe it is the latter because it always starts out well so you can't say total incompetence for the first decade or maybe two decades at most but it always invariably ends up the same way

well always maybe pushing it twice so far it's like watching a NFL team lose the super bowl because of inability to defend this one play
uhh, no. When trading long your gain is limited by the depth of the order book. Stock price isn't relevant if there are 3 buyers out there looking to buy 2 shares each and you're sitting on 100,000 shares
I believe there are some other issues other than just "is it transformative".

I can't take an Andy Warhol painting, modify it in some way and then claim it's my own original work. I have some obligation to say "Yeah, I used a Warhol painting as the basis for it".

Similarly, I can't take a sample of a Taylor Swift song and use it myself in my own music - I have to give Taylor credit, and probably some portion of the revenue too.

There's also still the issue that some LLMs and (I believe) image generation AI models have regurgitated works from their training models - in whole or part.
Made perfect sense when I read it, because this is also how to teach snowboarding. A reasonably proficient snowboarder will think 'it all about going back and forth from the front edge to the back edge smoothly' but a beginner needs to learn how to first stand in balance over the board without falling on the face or their back.
Anything running custom firmware. Check out the projects maintained by this developer: https://github.com/pvvx

Temperature monitors don't always display much below freezing, because the accuracy might not be within the optimum range, but a custom firmware will still let you read the raw sensor data.

LCD speed and contrast diminishes at temperatures that low, but if you're reading the temperature wirelessly, that won't matter.

Batteries have even more trouble with cold, but if you replace the CR2032 with a BR2032, it'll work down to -30 C.

Besides batteries, electronics aren't really damaged by cold itself, so if your sensors are getting permanently damaged in the winter, it's probably from condensation. If you seal the sensor, it won't be able to read humidity, but I will still accurately read the temperature, albeit with a little more lag.
I have trouble with code reviews because I can't run the code from the review GUI, so I usually look at the tests run in CI or pull and run it myself, if possible. Is this not a problem other people have? Is this a tooling problem?

By putting breakpoints in the code, and seeing what the changed lines do, I can compare the output line by line with my mental model of what should be happening, and this thoroughly helps me verify the changes.
I learned to ride a bike at 4 years old. I just went straight to a fixed gear bike, and taught myself in a single afternoon (most small kids bikes back then could not even coast).
The same argument can be made with roulette. Just place all your money on black and assume you'll win each time.
Sure, but that's a different claim and a different argument.
Surely all this applies to code and the written word in general?

People allowed (and encouraged) read access to websites so Google would index and link. Now Google et al summarise and even generate. All of that is built on our collective output. Surely everyone deserves a cut? The free sharing licenses that were added to repos didn’t account for LLM’s, so we should revisit it so all creators get their dues, not just those who traditionally got paid.
Why do you think this is what performance review cycles are?

I saw somewhere it's 0.5T/s of memory bandwidth. So you can read the whole memory (128G) 4 times per second. So if you fill it up with model you get 4t/s give or take.

For comparison H100 can read its memory 40 times per second, so if you use it all you can get around 40t/s.

Of course in either case you don't have to fill it up, but instead use smaller model or more GPUs.
Over 10k in a day of cumulative deposits will automatically trigger a CTR (currency transaction report). Amounts over 3k can trigger a SAR (suspicious activity report) but those are typically at teller discretion unless its a very specific circumstance like a customer buying $2500 in traveller cheques but has a typical average balance under some low threshold.

All those reports go to the banks AML (Anti Money Laundering) group who have to follow specific reporting guidlines from big brother. Lots of data is used to determine your risk level, which gets assigned tonyou when you open an account, especially a business account. Depending on the sic codes you choose determines how heavily you are scrutinized by the banks interal risk structure.

I could go on but you get the gist.

Quite a sad analogy, since the outcome of Biden's inaction- no, active support, since he flooded Israel with money and weapons and ensured diplomatic cover at the UN- resulted in the killing of at least ten thousand children.

There were a lot of these guys around that time. England imported a ton of soldiers into France for the Hundred Years War, then just didn't take them back home when they signed a treaty, so they all took up residence as mercenaries, brigands, and extortionists basically: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_company In a feudal era where power structures were less centralized and more about personal relationships, it was easier to smoothly transition between a 'proper' noble and somebody who 'just' owned a fort and a bunch of soldiers to collect rent with, and there was always somebody willing to pay to make you their neighbor's problem.
I have a friend who retired, and decided to go into day trading. He spent hours each day glued to the trading portal, making trades. After a year, he ruefully admitted that he'd have made significantly more money if he'd simply done nothing.
yes. But the more likely action is that they download another app and delete yours. Most apps are "free", so the competition is fierce to keep that market happy. The dev is always beholden to the volatile audience.

It is apples and oranges, though. Because 1) apps are hardly a critical need for the populace and 2) software margins are even more difficult to find that "line" to than physical resources.

I'm sure that medicine needs some higher than average markup in order to make up for R&D, ingredients, and various regulations to get it approved for human patients. But very unlikely 1000%. And only 1000% because of questionable vertical integration that lets UHC charge UHC however much it wants to itself.

It follows that providers should provide care for free. Anything else is profiting from denying care. I guess you're just a full communist? If that's the case, just come out and say it so we can agree to disagree and move on.
I have a friend who sees what he thinks is a problem and starts off with "I don't know why they just didn't...", as if he could come up with a better solution in 2 minutes of thinking than experts in the field. The reality is that he just doesn't know all the competing interests and problems. The article feels the same way.
You're looking at the wrong numbers. Annual revenue for all of UnitedHealth Group was $370B. Only part of that was UHC insurance premiums. UHG is a huge conglomerate with multiple lines of business, some of which are unrelated to medical insurance or PBM. If UHG spun off the pure software parts of Optum it would be one of the country's 20 largest tech companies.

Not everyone has low latency high bandwidth reliable internet, and almost no one has it all the time. In addition, the privacy and security benefits from running things locally is a requirement for some.
You completely left out the Nakba. Which you would have to to even attempt to make this point.

> The Arabs invite all the nations around them to attack the Jews with them.

I assume you're talking about the "Arab Invasion" of 1948? So, that would be after the Nakba started. In fact, Deir Yassin occured only a month before Israel was founded.

You're very obviously leaving out facts not in an attempt to be succinct but to obscure the actual history.
this is as retarded as asking someone to forget a picture they have seen
The full quote is better.

Well this was the patent they were threatening with as I recall (https://patents.google.com/patent/US20030023912A1/en) and there was this one too: https://patents.google.com/patent/US5576554A/en

Basically the "secret sauce" of the startup recruiting me was that they were going to do wafer scale FPGAs that could be tiled together to build arbitrarily complex systems like military phased array radars and such. All very hush hush but apparently they had recruited some key talent from Xilinx which was annoying Xilinx.
The secret is to add every meeting into your Jira as a task, and then close it once the meeting is done.

Equally, instead of talking about meetings as detracting from your work, start talking about them as the work.

When your manager asks about your milestones, or accomplishments, or success stories, make meeting attendance front and center.

When discussing software development, bug fixing, etc in the meetings, point out that you won't actually do any of it. Point out that 20+ hours of your week is in meetings, 10 hours of admin (reading, writing, updating tickets), 5 hours of testing etc.

"This task will take 40 hours. At 1 hour per week I expect to be done in October sometime. If all goes to plan'

Yes, it seems cynical, but actually it has real outcomes. Firstly your "productivity" goes up. (As evidenced by your ticket increase.)

Secondly your mental state improves. By acknowledging (to yourself) that you are fundamentally paid to attend meetings, you can relax in your own productivity.

Thirdly by making your time allocations obvious to your manager, you place the burden for action on him.

If you convince your colleagues to do the same, you highlight the root problem, while moving the responsibility to fix it off your plate.
I was working on a game. The game is about conversations... what someone is saying, how they say it, how they interrupt and talk over each other, reading the feel of the room.

There was a lot of tweaking around the pace of conversation. It can't be too fast or too slow. I can tell Cursor to have character A speak faster when angry, or I can say that the hesitation pause between characters is too long. I can ask it to make characters cut off each other. I can say I want to add a typewriter effect to the dialogue. I can tell it that the typewriter effect and music needs to be aligned to the same pace.

Basically, I want to be working on the engine as the creative expert, not as a code writer.

I know how the engine works; I know when Cursor is updating the code wrong and I can correct it or give it a better suggestion. Something more autonomous is not good at this; it's at my ideal level of semi-auto.

And since it reads code, I can point it to the file with all the dialogue and tell it to make the dialogue snappier. It did a lot of really good "autotuning" on my writing.
A really good suggestion, I actually used a MacBook Air with an M1 in the first stages and it was fine for prototyping too!

Though the local market here is a bit bad. There's a Mac Mini with an M2 Pro and 16 GB for 1.9k EUR, so more expensive than just two GPUs. I'm guessing that the local sellers are trying to profit quite a bit, because on Apple's site, the M4 16 GB version starts at 600 USD (and for 24 GB it's 800 USD and for 32 GB it's 1000 USD). That actually makes it a good option!
Which relates to the linked incentives piece: when you create incentives, you think you're changing people's behaviour. Actually you're selecting for people who respond to the incentive.

Again, asking a LLM to parse data isn't real life, thats not how life works.

And again, mentioning outsource/combine departs doesnt mean layoffs, and was not the objective of the query. If I ask it to give me the stats on gas crossovers with good mpg, I don't want a political lecture on why EV's are better for the environment.
