Working with SVN was terribly slow on any decent size codebase.
One of the radio links in my network was down for 3 hours a few days ago. Why? An unintended interaction between parameters on the Ubiquiti radio on the client side of the link collided with a DFS radar detection event on the access point side. The access point thought it had detected radar and randomly changed to a channel the client side wasn't scanning.

As another ISP is using most of the 5GHz spectrum in the area, there are only a couple of channels that have low enough levels of interference to get decent performance out of the link. I had restricted the channels the client was scanning to reduce the recovery time from a loss of link a couple of years ago, but being groggy too early in the morning my brain took a trip to both ends to figure it out, and then more than an hour to find a channel that didn't suck.

All of this is because 10 years ago when I talked to our Local Distribution Company that owns the poles on a 2km stretch where I want to run fibre to eliminate the radio link, the design tech said they would need to replace 10 poles at a cost of nearly $100k. Sorry, I'm not paying $100k to replace 10 poles that are near the end of their useful lifespan to place $750 worth of 24 count fibre.

Complexity has unintended consequences: Lesson re-learned.
Season 3 is so great it easily eclipses the first two, despite my pretty strong nostalgia-bias. It's like the first two were just a warm-up - and we needed the 25 years just to prepare ourselves for what he really wanted to do.
I doubt that's the whole of it, but I'm sure a past pattern definitely comes into play. As someone once said, we are faithfully true to our defects - we tend to repeat our mistakes.

Someone who plays fast and loose with the law to get their sales bonus doesn't just find Jesus and give up one day. More likely he gets promoted and does it all over again.

But some of the short seller research I've heard of like interviewing ex-employees about internal irregularities is quite clever.

In another case (I think it was a different short seller) he went to the actual physical locations declared on paperwork as "offices" and found them to be empty warehouses.

So this kind of interviewing and boots on ground stuff is next level.
Not defending the length of current US copyright, but as long as we live under capitalism, the people who spend years of their time making the information need to get compensated somehow.
Wealthy people usually spend more---just because they are less price sensitive and care more about other metrics.

I'm not sure how everything 'costs less'?

You could say that wealthy people can substitute money for time. So they need to spend less eg working hours for each good consumed.
Programmer #0 obviously.
Yes, it's worse for margins. However, we're in a thread about how potential customers don't want to risk either spending lots of money for services they won't use or dealing with spikes. Not choosing one or the other inherently puts the cost on the provider, shrinking margins.

I don't think it's an especially hard model to understand though. It's commonly called pay-as-you-go in consumer mobile plans and sold as the cheapest option to customers that may not even speak the language the fine print is written in. Those consumers still understand the service they're getting.

Telecom is actually a good example of how granular billing can get, but still produces an incredible profit margin even with simple pricing strategies.
Better yet, don't write any code at all! Never an over charge and your own accounting becomes super simple.
I also think that it would be a nightmare to properly review a large PR of exclusively AI code. If you take the time to understand what it's doing, and find as many little bugs and edge cases as possible, you may as well have just written it yourself.
I don't understand your surprise or disbelief. I would imagine most devs have been there. As evidence: just look at Stack Overflow, and compare it to what it's apparently intended to look like and how it's supposed to work (as a denizen of meta.stackoverflow.com I am quite familiar with this struggle).

They teach you to do math on paper from right to left (ones column -> tens column, etc), I find chunking works best if you approach from left to right. Like, multiply the hundreds, then the tens (and add the extra digit to the hundreds-total you already derived), then the ones place (ditto).

It's limited by your short-term memory. I can do a single-digit times anything up to maybe five digits. Two-digits by two digits, mostly. Three-digits times three digits I don't have the working memory for.

Yes. There’s nothing more obnoxious to me than products like Figma where my company has a limited number of full licenses. They are super stingy with what my account type can do, so the 2 times per year when I need to get involved inside a Figma document or even a FigJam board I have to go begging for someone else’s license, but it would be way too costly to pay as much per seat for the entire company as we pay for our designers, for whom that’s obviously a core tool.
I think people would generally have an easier time with git if they didn't try to fix their commit histories and instead just let their past mistakes be known. If you make a bad commit in git the best solution is to follow it up with a good one that fixes the problem. Squash commits on PRs help too.
Just so you know, it’s _deprecated_.
"Just a few days after more than 700 million new users flooded RedNote-which Time noted is "the most apolitical social platform in China"-rumors began swirling that RedNote may soon start segregating American users and other foreign IPs from the app's Chinese users."

700 million? What is the 2024 est. population of the US. Not even half that number.

One example - Google Cloud network egress charges aren’t known until up to ~2 days after they happen. Since they can be obscenely expensive (eg $0.23/GB), they can make budget computation difficult.

Legalisation and taxation works quite ok for alcohol and tobacco in most places. And comparatively, it works fantastically better for alcohol than the prohibition the US tried.

What's different for those other drugs? Or should we (re-) criminalise alcohol and tobacco, too?

I agree that decriminalisation is a strange halfway measure. And I can also believe that not all policy in practice is great, even if the bears the label of 'legalisation' or 'decriminalisation'.
Steam has a refund policy because consumer law requires them to have a refund policy.
Their proposed solution didn't work on many of my fleet's devices. I had to go deep into a reddit thread + stackoverflow comment to figure out a proper mitigation for several devices, and it involved extremely invasive/terrible things to remediate. Their fix doesn't even work for everyone, and they're clearly prioritizing paying customers for that kind of support. Like, fine, but don't publish a status that says "operational" when your "fix" is so slipshod as this. Just absolutely embarrassing, in my candid opinion. I know enough to fix this on any device but it isnt just a singular problem local to myself, and they haven't exactly been communicative about the root cause or very helpful to anyone that isn't paying them a lot of money. Like, I understand its "open" source "free"ware and YMMV there, but this kind of thing is entirely preventable most likely. There are so many viable alternatives to docker desktop that this has finally made me jump ship. There's no possible way this isn't a sinking ship, in my opinion.

“Crafting a better prompt” is often simply spinning an RNG again and again until you end up with an answer that happens to be good enough.

In the real world if you know the correct answer you don’t need to ask the question. A self driving car that needs you to pay attention isn’t self driving.

Any system can get canned response, the value of AI is completely in its ability to handle novelty without hand holding. And none of these systems actually do that even vaguely well in practice rather than providing response that are vaguely close to correct.

If I ask for a summary of an article and it gets anything wrong in the article that’s a 0 because now I need to read the article to know what it said. Arguably the value is actually negative here.
I'd argue many creators are this way. Nobody is ever going to approach a piece of art the same way.

Unless you are a narcissist (probable billionare) who feels the need to go back and explain every detail about the wizarding world you created a few decades later and reveal what kind of piece of crap you are.
The main problem is not the source of solution but not making an effort to understand the code they have put in.

The "I don't know" might as well be "I don't care".

That is not how precautions work. If unsure, you ban the mostly unnecessary things.

"Hmm, there is an unknown risk with it, do I really need this unhealthy candy" no

"Do i really need this vegetable" yes

For an analogy, if your neighborhood is unsafe, you don't stop going to school altogether, you probably just won't go out for a night stroll.

This kind of absolute logical statement is very stupid.

Also, consider that when faced with unsure studies, the fact that fruits and vegetables are part of healthy human diet for centuries longer than a dye has been, is a major factor.

Show HN: Built a Self-Hosted Status Page
Exactly a year ago, I shared this: [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39099980]. The feedback was incredible, and it honestly pushed me to keep improving. Over the past year, I’ve been chipping away at it whenever I could, and I think it’s finally become what it was always meant to be, that is a clean, modern status communication tool that stays true to its purpose.

It doesn’t try to do too much; it just does its job well (at least, that’s the goal). I’m back for round 2 of feedback, so hit me with your thoughts!

All these arguments seem very much like throwing the baby out with the bathwater - I don't think we should pretend it makes sense to say "if we can't have perfect billing cutoff down to each individual api call we shouldn't have a billing cutoff at all". You've listed super achievable ways to prevent a $50/mo spend from ballooning to $70,000.

Additionally, it feels hollow to not have billing cutoff at the same rate as authorization would cutoff if they shut off my account.
Seems my math teachers in school...er..didn't. That makes sense, I know how to write math out on paper and solve it, but then my instinct has always been to reach for that method mentally, so I literally draw a pen and paper in my imagination, and look at it and do the math and it takes way too long so I just give up, this seems like I can just learn more rules and then apply them, as long as I have the rules.

Thank you kindly for taking the time to teach me this! This thread has been one of the most useful things in a long ass time that's for sure. If I can ever be helpful to you, email is in the bio. :)
Is this dashboard something off the shelf?
I don't think that's the concern at all. The concern (imo) is that you should at least understand what the code is doing before you accept it verbatim and add it to your company's codebase. The potential it has to introduce bugs or security flaws is too great to just accept it without understanding it.

> 45 000 deaths is genocide ?

I’m confused by this question, is 45,000 too little for you? To label genocide you need a large number of of deaths with the intent of destroying a people’s identity.

> What’s the civilian/military ratio ?

If you’re able to find this number, you’re likely able to find that depending on whom you ask the percentage of militants ranges from 10-40%.

And this says nothing about the millions displaced, the destruction of Gaza’s infrastructure and the policies to starve the population. Given the vast amount of attention given to this topic and the information around it, you need to be make a conscious effort to stay ignorant of it. And to be wilfully ignorant of a genocide is to be complicit in it.

I suggest starting here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaza_genocide

Yeah bashing big tech is an evergreen source of upvotes. Especially since it’s not always clear how something was funded. Take io_uring for example, an async I/O subsystem for Linux. Could you say offhand if this was funded by some big tech company or not? I’ll bet most people couldn’t.

Another example - everyone knows the xz attack. How many people can name offhand the company where Andres Freund worked? He was a full time employee of a tech company working on Postgres when he found this attack.

It’s always worth discussing how we can improve financial situation for maintainers in important open source projects. Hyperbole like your comment is useless at best and counterproductive at worst.
I agree with you on three things:

1) I agree that there are markets where "if you have to ask, you can't afford it." (However, I think those are extremely rare, and don't believe Enterprise software, even expensive enterprise software, is usually one of those markets.)

2) I agree that "cheap" people who are unwilling to buy expensive software are likely going to "hate calls."

3) I also believe it is true that, "If a potential buyer is willing to go through the time and effort to schedule a call, even before they know if the product will work, and even before they know what it costs, they are MUCH more likely to be able to afford it than someone unwilling to do that."

But that doesn't mean that potential buyers who "hate calls" and prefer to know what something costs before-hand are "cheap." Many very expensive products list the price (or at least the maximum price, right on the website): [Luxury cars](https://www.mbusa.com/en/vehicles/build/g-class/suv), [Mansions](https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1900-Spindrift-Dr-La-Joll...)...

I don't think Tesla customers are "cheap". Not only is the price is right on the website, you can [buy it in a few clicks](https://www.tesla.com/models/design#overview). That's not because their target market is "cheap people who hate calls". (Also, have you ever spoken to a Tesla buyer who wishes they could have had a call with a car salesman first?)

I don't think people who buy multi-million dollar homes are "cheap". The starting (maximum) price is listed right there. I can't imagine that someone thinking, "I wonder how much are they asking for that 20 room mansion?" is a signal that they are "cheap."

I can see the value in not wasting a seller's time with cheap people who will be crappy customers. I think you could do it just as easily by clearly stating ballpark prices and/or the components of prices up front, rather than gating it solely based on whether someone is willing to schedule a call.

Don't have a ton of experience in Paris, but I stayed at the Yotel at Charles De Gaulle once. The first room had dirty bedsheets, and the lamps were broken. I called the guy to give me another room, and he just goes, 'there's no problem' And I was left wondering—what is 'problem' reserved for? A fire?
Space.com's YouTube channel always has a mirror of the official SpaceX livestream:

I have to wonder why your last paragraph made me feel quite uncomfortable, I can't even tell why except by the time I was done an uncomfortable feeling was inside. I appreciate your time to provide me with this much context, it seems between all the comments in this thread, I'm truly out of reasons to avoid learning math, and I suppose maybe that's why your last paragraph made me uncomfortable... I wonder what I'll see... :)

Thank you again.
You don't need microservices for that, just factor your code into libraries that can fit into the context window. Also write functions that have clear inputs and outputs and don't need to know the full state of the software.

This has always been good practice anyway.

Authorisation is much more cacheable than a value that inherently changes every single time you check it.

Also authorisation revocation is relatively uncommon, which means you can have a fast-path for approval, and then push only the revoked key IDs to just frontend servers.

It’s hard to view insurance as a viable business when overpaying executives has become the norm. Take State Farm, for instance: its CEO was awarded $50 million in compensation over just two years — 2022 and 2023. The industry is rife with waste and high barriers to entry.
I find it interesting that we don’t see more “officially-licensed demakes” of AAA games being released for devices (the Switch; phones; old PCs) that can’t play the AAA version. It used to be very common (with e.g. SNES games getting simultaneous GB reinterpretations released with them.) But the only thing I can think of that did it in recent memory is Final Fantasy 15.
I don't think so. As I recall, the different UI (not just from older MS stuff, but also from iPhone) was really front and center of Microsoft's pitch at the time.

Besides, WinCE PDAs were very much a power user / enthusiast device, with relatively few around. People who used them and thus were familiar with the old UI would be well aware that WP7 was completely different, and people that didn't use them weren't exposed to the old UI in the first place.
Definitely marketed towards middle age “gamers” with their mario toys on their shelves.

Do young people even play on switch any more? Pretty sure it is xbox, mobile and pc.
I’m guessing that’s built on Stable Diffusion/Flux just as RetroDiffusion is. That would mean it’s not directly pixel art and needs to be downscaled after the fact. The results can still be pretty great but it’s not super ideal.

Training a small (64x64 or the like) pixel based model instead of something that relies on a VAE may in fact be cheaper than what’s in the OP and could probably make someone some good money besides but the lack of training data would be a huge issue.
I’ve had too many bad sales experiences to deal with that. The second someone tries to force me into a sales call for a non-customized or self-configurable service or product, I assume they’re just shamelessly setting me up to extract as much money from me as they possibly can. I just can’t assume good faith on the part of a company that only distributes product information through someone making a commission. It feels like they’re inviting me into a mouse trap.
> There’s no way this is true considering that crypto and AI have started to push significant power demands.

I was describing what happened when we stopped building nuclear power plants, not what’s happening now or in the near future.

From 1.7TWh in 1975 to 3.1TWh in 1995 is an 82% increase in demand in just 20 years, but the next 20 years only takes us to 3.9TWh in 2015 a 26% increase. That had massive knock on effects in terms of power plant construction, move forward to 2023 demand is only at 4TWh less than a 3% increase. https://www.statista.com/statistics/201794/us-electricity-co...

The point of that was simply context.

> The reason isn’t purely a price thing.

All that risk ultimately just equates to a cost, if nuclear was wildly profitable to operate nobody would care about those risks but it’s at best barely breaking even when nothing goes wrong.

Also, costs rose not because of regulations in a vacuum. 3 mile island happened because of a lack of maintenance, you don’t solve that problem without spending more money on maintenance. And so it goes for a huge range of issues like foreign material in cooling ponds. Suddenly there’s all this effort when working around cooling ponds to avoid a multi million dollar issue and that’s not free, but there’s no free lunch where you can avoid the expense and not also be cautious.

Thus nuclear power was always expensive, the costs where initially just hidden as risk and escalating maintenance costs.
