I think you and many others in this discussion presume that kids fall into a neat binary classification:

1. Good kids who were always and will always be good kids.

2. Bad kids who were always and will always be bad kids.

Further, any interaction between a bad kid and a good kid is strictly making things worse for the good kid.

I can definitely understand how someone might end up with that belief system. It was probably formed while they themselves were a kid and thus lacks the nuance and maturity that comes with time.

A closer picture of reality is that:

1. People go through good and bad periods. An "good" kid might become a "bad" kid for a year while going through the divorce of their parents. A "bad" kid might get the structure or diagnosis they need and blossom into their better potential. Kids mature at different rates and times.

2. Being around "good" kids is good for "bad" kids. If the people in their home life are awful, having a community of mentally healthy kids around them during the day can be very helpful for learning how to behave better.

3. Being around "bad" kids is often good for "good" kids. Obviously, it's not OK for some kid to bully or abuse another. But short of that, it's often useful and educational for kids to be exposed to a variety of personalities and maturity levels. Do we want our kids to grow into adults that have the skills to take care of and help other people who are struggling? I do. They can learn many of those skills in school by being part of the support network for bad kids.

Often, when they do, it turns out that kid wasn't so bad in the first place.

Overall, this simplified mindset is one I see all the time where we look at situations as a consumer: Is this a thing I want to "purchase" or not? Instead, it's better to look at the entire situation as an environment that you are both consuming and yourself part of.

They always talk about "it takes a village". We all both need a village and are the village for each other.
Not the only one. We all know this about anti competition.
The cool thing about proxmox is that it is - again - "just debian" so there is really no vendor lock-in. Yes they do have commercial support/update subscriptions but the community offering is open (https://github.com/proxmox). So I do not worry too much about lock-in or monoculturalization. At the end of the day it is a wrapper around fundamental components of Linux. They do not have any proprietary secret sauce that would F you down the road.

Correction I see now that the projects you reference are Solaris based. I am down with that cause too - but if you are a BSD/Solaris shop expect to do a lot of things on your own. The linux virtualization space is substantially larger (not necessarily suggesting it is better...)
I read recently their plan is to produce enough so they are always in stock.

My impression, strengthened by https://wiki.smartos.org/managing-instances-with-vmamd/#usin... , is that SmartOS preferentially operates at the per-host scale, which is probably a disadvantage in a datacenter setting. (I don't know enough about MNX Triton to comment)
My perception is that SpaceX do in fact move fast, curious why you feel the need to put that in inverted commas?
It seems the other way around for the particular post you are linking.

This was posted to HN, then a bit picked it up from RSS and cross posted the same link to r/hackernews on Reddit (your Reddit link).

Then the repo.aalto.fi site was temporarily hugged by too much traffic.

Then someone reuploaded the PDF to this other tiiny site. Then the link on HN was changed to that. Then the file on the tiiny site disappeared.

Regardless, thanks for the link. The repo.aalto.fi link currently works for me. Probably because it’s getting much less traffic now.

I just use the pwa, it works quite well.
Its difficult because lying about "implementation details" is a marketing detail.
It's amazing to me how someone could find themselves in a powerful enough position to make this decision yet somehow be so stupid that they decide to actually go ahead with it.

Meritocracy is a lie. Literally any normal human could look at this idea and go "well that's just dumb, wasteful, over-engineered, and weird".
If you're coming for a 2000 year old technology like GLASS you best come correct.
I think what you need is a plain old half-silvered beam splitter, not the 3CCD prism. The dichroic prism uses combinations of coatings to separate RGB into different optical paths. You don't need that.
As a mice or a air mouse. The smart tv stuff is limited by a remote control from 1980 (more or less, what changed?). I'd make lifestyle apps for the switch if they enable it.
If you want to make yourself depressed then just remember, everyone involved in the decision to do this probably makes significantly more money than you and will continue to do so despite wasting $200M on a idea that it would be charitable to simply describe as stupid.
It would be great if games implemented it for aiming, but I am not sure that they will for sure. Given how few third party developers add a gyro-aiming option when they release a game on the console when most first party games have it in some way.

It will make for an interesting dynamic for games with cross-play with other consoles where implemented though.
I use this tool for making mods for a game called From the Depths, which is made with Unity. I could not have made them without dnSpy!
Yeah but most people aren't farmers. How much economic value gets tied up in investment schemes? How many people worked for years on crypto or the metaverse or what-have-you—projects that only existed to boost stock price, rather than because anyone needed them?

Our society doesn't optimize the lifestyles of its citizens. It optimizes stock price, which leads to an economy where everyone works a lot, even on things nobody needs, in pursuit of returns for investors. Does the Silicon Valley VC unicorn portfolio model actually help anyone other than VCs and founders?

The games are crippled by how archaic and underpowered the hardware is. TOTK is beautiful _despite_ the hardware limiting its true potential, robbing world class studios, and forcing them to cut corners.

It’s indefensible considering how much legendary IP that potato is holding hostage.
Yes. Is EU!!! And it drives me crazy. Totally internal page, only seen by employees. Beyond comprehension.
I’m not an engineer/have no formal training in this area. My hunch is that your statement is perhaps true at a scale of a house. For large builds like sky scrapers you’re definitely able to include fire resistant and earthquake resistance features. I think ultimately it comes down to cost. It’s possible to get treated lumber that is fire resistant, but it’s going to cost much more than traditional lumber

I played with the benchmark and the extra delay was not significant, maybe 20ms for a substantial page? I profiled the code and did not find it doing anything particularly wrong. However it uses generators to build the page lazily from fragments at runtime, whereas jinja gets a boost from “compiling” them somehow.

I believe one could prerender the static parts of the page and get most of the speed of jinja, but the improvement still won’t be noticeable unless the project is very performance sensitive.
Those others are effectively asphyxiants: they'll kill you by displacing oxygen, leading to you collapsing and dying if not rescued, eg by being dragged clear or having ventilation improved. Ammonia is a caustic: airway constriction and oedema will get you at modest concentrations, weeping eyes may hamper your escape, and if rescued you may have lasting damage.
even better, the pizza rolls are probably sold out, but you can't see that until you open the case... because of the ad.
I’d expect some combination of large models, reinforcement learning and NPUs to substantially improve non player characters.

These days, AMD has low power SoCs that include an NPU, and Nvidia seems to have just remembered that the consumer market exists. I’m sure next gen (after this one) consoles will do something with that hardware.

Aw, lighten up a bit. I'm just on HN having fun discussing Physics, because it's something I love. But it's super nice of you to take so much time and effort to encourage people to publish.
Oh man… I forgot about the software branding on pre-iPhones. Everything had the carriers brand on it from the boot screen to all the “special apps” and crap. iPhone had none of that and it absolutely pissed off the carriers. Apple turned them all into dumb pipes and they hated that.
Yeah, Tesla being a tech company instead of a car company is a con, all the publicity stunts - boring company, Hyperloop, Mars are all cons to attract attention. The crypto stuff is all a con. Elon is very good at getting a hype flywheel going, particularly in this age of man children.
So happy this is failing, it looked like an absolute nightmare from the videos I saw. Endless ads, waste of energy, waste of time and effort, just a disaster.
The general scheme is that they give you a "volume discount" where "volume" is defined as however many computers you're selling, so if you put Linux on more of them then your Windows licensing volume goes down and you lose the discount for all computers.

They used to do this in a way that you basically couldn't sell any computers with Linux, but that got them in trouble, so now you can get Linux from the Dell website if you go out and specifically look for it but anybody who makes it a prominent offering or pays for shelf space at Best Buy would still get punished.

You can see the evidence of this because there are still Linux-specific OEMs who get out of it by not doing business with Microsoft at all (and it's Google rather than Dell paying for the retail shelf space, because they don't sell Windows machines), whereas you would expect the major OEMs would eat their lunch if there wasn't something stopping them.
> However, the magic word for both customer segments is "vMotion", i.e. live-migration of VMs across disparate storage. No OSS and/or commercial (including Hyper-V) solution is able to truly match what VMware could (and can, at the right price) do in that space...

Someone's gonna start working on that soon. Necessity is the mother of invention.

To me, this will be the UNIX wars moment for virtualization.

Originally, UNIX was something AT&T/Bell Labs mainly used for their own purposes. Then people wanted to use it for themselves. AT&T cooked up some insane price (like $20k in 1980s money) for the license for System V. That competed with the BSDs for a while. Then, some nerd in a college office in Finland contributed his kernel to the GNU project. The rest is history.

UNIX itself is somewhat of a niche today, with the vast majority of former use cases absorbed by GNU/Linux.

This feels like an effort by Broadcom to suck up all of the money in the VMWare customer base, thinking it's too much of a pain in the ass to migrate off of their wares. In some circumstances, they're not wrong, but there's going to be teams at companies talking about how to show VMWare the door permanently as a result of this.

Whether Broadcom is right that they can turn a profit on the acquisition with the remaining install base remains to be seen.

I think there's value in having things diversified and rebalanced automatically, especially if you don't have any confidence in your own ability to do so. Yes, you sometimes get stuff that's overvalued and thus over-represented, but in theory if the stock tanks the portfolio will be rebalanced and thus become a smaller percentage of the total holdings.
Microsoft had Silverlight, which was a competing platform with Flash.
Well, until it doesn't, which seems to be edging closer and closer every day.

Julius Caesar made the dang calendar. People had a lot of free time.
the teaser also has a clear shot of the side and there's a sensor that looks identical to an optical mouse sensor. It seems really rough from an ergonomics perspective but maybe there are accessories for that. It could also go the way of the IR camera where it sees niche uses in a couple of random games but isn't really a staple of the console.

I'm a fan of RSS too. Some people I know use substack to write. I would ideally like to use kill-the-newsletter for that but I had trouble with delivery with substack. Fortunately, these days LLMs are quite quick so I was able to whip up a little tool that does this for myself: https://github.com/roshan/superheap

It's incomplete but sufficient. LLMs drop the cost of software to near zero. I barely had to learn anything.
A lot of single-family housing burned in the fires. For the sake of density, we need to put in more apartments, and ones that don't cost $3-4K/mo for a 1-2 bed. Metro is expanding ahead of the Olympics, and Waymo services a decent chunk of the city (not the burned areas though); you could go with less parking to save costs, but a lot of folks have roommates, so you end up needing double the parking, and that clogs up the streets... there are no easy answers to this situation, unfortunately.

"Pretty quickly" may be an exaggeration there, given that 1740 was a good five generations after the founding of the Plymouth colony, and they were still famously conducting witch trials only fifty years earlier.

But it surely did happen -- IIRC, Adams and Jefferson were both noting in their correspondence how by the end of the 18th century most of the Puritan descendants had somehow become Unitarians.
Egypt implementing a blockade triggered the 1967 conflict. It didn't come from nowhere. Then that was followed up by yet another war against Israel in 1973.
I doubted for a second, as I wrote that. Yes, written communication can lead to misunderstanding, but more often in chat. Mails are a little better in that regard in my experience. Because they are saved and seen by many people, is easier to analyze what has been said, context, etc.

But in general I would say, both can generate misunderstandings, but lets say mail is easier to settle down.
Artie (YC S23) Is Hiring a Founding Engineer (Distributed Systems)

I got a 1-year trial of Gemini Advanced with my Pixel 9 and I've had similar experiences. It makes up stuff far more often than any other models and it's just not very smart. I used the free version and thought the paid Advanced version would be better but I could hardly notice any difference, they both fail at the same prompts I've tried.

This is not to mention the poor app experience where some of the features are just missing or broken. For example it's able to "remember" stuff I ask it to remember, but when I ask it to forget something it says I have to manage it at this webpage (they didn't bother to implement this menu within the mobile app) that asks me to sign in again because it's opened in my web browser where I'm not signed into Google, and then it shows me an empty list and "Something went wrong". It's now calling me a name I told it as a joke and there's no way to make it forget
Somewhat larger screen (and presumably faster hardware) is enough for me to buy in. Don't mess with what works.

Only 2 ray-tracing cores makes you wonder why they’d even bother.

The Switch is interesting, because while you can't play the old games you already own, the Switch can play those games with an emulator, if you're willing to pay them more money to get a digital copy.
Apropos of nothing, but I appreciate the flaunting of branding best practices, and aerospace superstition, in the naming of Blue Origin (BO) and New Glenn (NG).
I mean maybe you're right. Maybe people are like, "Oat milk is so different than almond milk that I am going to pay twice the price." I'm like uhhh it's white, vegan, and I can dunk a cookie in it. I'll buy what's cheaper.
Those screens look like the stupidest thing ever, and just another example of tech industry brain-rot. We already have excellent tech to see what's inside a cooler: it's called a window. Why replace a simple, functional solution like that with some monstrosity that needs power, data feeds, and development/tech support?
Calling it the xbox 720 would not have worked in that era. Sounds too much like 720p when they're targeting 1080p gaming.
Much like with the failed Macbook Touch Bar, I don't think it works having to look away and focus on another screen while playing a game.

Also like the Macbook Touch Bar, now you have a whole other thing developers have to target and test for an end result that should just be possible yet more efficient in the main app.

Take inventory for example. Instead you could just make it frictionless to open inventory in the main game and create quick-swap slots. Tears of the Kingdom is a good example. Swapping out arrows mid combat by looking at your controller would not be an improvement.

I just looked at the logs for a site, and I saw PerplexityBot is looking at the robots.txt and ignoring it. They don't provide a list of IPs to verify if it is actually them. Anyway, just for anyone with PerplexityBot in their user agent, they can get increasingly bad responses until the abuse stops.
I don't have a point, that wasn't me talking about it. The Uyghur camps are horrible, horrible things, and legalized slavery in the US is also horrible. I don't think they are equal at all but tbh I just don't know enough about the Uyghur situation to have an educated opinion on it generally or specifically in regards to the tiktok situation.

Although I do think there's some degree of equivalence specifically in regard to a specific ethnic group being forced into labor since you mentioned it, but I don't want to go on a tangent because that's not what I brought up and not what I was talking about.

Being a 6'2" tall guitar player doesn't actually say big hands. There is some correlation between hand size and height, but plenty of variation. I'm a 6'1" tall guitar player and I have small hands.

Here's an interesting paper on hand size and height: Guerra, R., Fonseca, I., Pichel, F. et al. Hand length as an alternative measurement of height. Eur J Clin Nutr 68, 229–233 (2014). https://doi.org/10.1038/ejcn.2013.220.

Here's what they did:

> A cross-sectional study was conducted using a consecutive sample of 465 inpatients (19–91 years), from a university hospital. Participants were randomly divided into a development sample of 311 individuals and a cross-validation one. A linear regression model was used to formulate the equation. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) for single measures and differences between measured height (MH) and PH and between BMI calculated with MH (BMIMH) and with PH (BMIPH) were determined.

and here were the results:

> The regression equation for PH is: PH (cm)=80.400+5.122 × hand length (cm)—0.195 × age (years)+6.383 × gender (gender: women 0, men 1) (R=0.87, s.e. of the estimate=4.98 cm). MH and PH were strongly correlated, ICCs: 0.67-0.74 (P<0.001). Differences were small, mean difference±s.d., ⩽−0.6±4.4 cm (P⩾0.24). BMIMH and BMIPH were strongly correlated, ICCs: 0.94-0.96 (P<0.001). Differences were small, ⩽0.3±1.7 kg/m2 (P⩾0.10).

Here's that regression equation in easy to read form, where H is the predicted height in cm, H is hand length in cm, G is 0 for women and 6.383 for men, and A is age in years:

H = 80.400 + 5.122 L - 0.195 A + G

Plugging in my H, A, and G and solving for L I get 21.8 cm. My actual hand size is 19.5 cm.

Going the other way, from my hand size, age, and gender my predicted height is 5'8".
