"And the one who was seated on the throne said, “See, I am making all things new.” Also he said, “Write this, for these words are trustworthy and true.” Then he said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the thirsty I will give water as a gift from the spring of the water of life. Those who conquer will inherit these things, and I will be their God and they will be my children. But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the polluted, the murderers, the fornicators, the sorcerers, the idolaters, and all liars, their place will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”"

~ Revelations 21:5-8

Combined with the story of the steward who owed more than he could ever pay (Matthew 18:32-35) and Christ's words in Luke 12:10 "Everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but the one who blasphemes against the holy Spirit will not be forgiven." I'd have a very hard time reconciling anything other than "Hell is real and you can go there forever" as having a biblical basis.

Listen. I'm going to give you some on-the-ground perspective here. Mostly because I'm drunk. ;)

I've started businesses (and by most measures, successful ones), and despite what all the gurus will tell you, I would not wish it on anyone.

I tell people often, don't do it. Unless you're a certain type of person, do something else, and even if you're that sort of person, it's probably going to suck. A lot. We're not honest enough about this in our society, because people have a certain respect for entrepreneurs and aspire to be one themselves. And there's an entire cottage industry that preys on these aspirations (yes, that includes some of these startup incubators, etc).

Really, you know if you're the sort of person who will keep going or not. You know if you'll love the challenge of pulling together a million different pieces (half of which you know nothing about sometimes) and when to check yourself... or not. You know what to listen to others... or not.

Most people are not built like this. I'm close friends with a number of very successful entrepreneurs, and they're... weird. Good folks, but always weirdos.

That said, since it's in your title, I have a high IQ (145) but I think it's important to add, I grew up in the ghetto, where such an IQ is not considered an asset... instead, force and street savvy often are.

The reason I bring this up is because I've done okay for myself. Not insane, but decent. I thrive in organizing chaos. Not to be too dramatic, but that's what starting a business is like, especially when it's your own money on the line. Most of the successful people I know in starting businesses are also smart, process-oriented, and curious as all Hell.

For perspective, I'm comfortable reading scientific papers outside my expertise and seeing the potential business applications that the MBAs likely aren't looking at, because, well, they're thinking about other things. I'm comfortable shooting the shit with my plumber... or my siblings in very niche tech or science. I love breaking things and asking both these types of people for help, so they can laugh at me. I've done some incredibly stupid things in the name of curiosity.

My advice? Stop reading, stop talking. Flip a coin and take a risk on something you want to see to its end. Then burn yourself out to see where it goes. But be prepared for a lot of heartache and pain.

If you do this, hit me up after. Would love to hear how it went.
Nice to see some more posts about light communications on HN. I have had the pleasure talking with people who developed this tech & see it in action.

Apparently, it is a big step towards purely optical network switching.
Well that's on me for formatting the comment poorly. But my point is that there will be a lot of CTs about this motivated by political considerations, and this recent and relevant data point will be widely cited as evidence.

Examples I've noticed so far are the idea that it was an unsuccessful attempt to assassinate the defense secretary, and that some 'plant' from the Biden administration deliberated engineered the crash because they were angry about the administration's policy on DEI.
That's funny! I've made a "tool"[1] that "automatically" adds emojis to text.
It is even worse for your example! It adds two train emojis for some reason.

I did a ShowHN because I thought it was a good idea but it flopped. Maybe I should pivot my idea toward kindergarteners!

Is it just me or all the diagram images are broken? It looks like the lazy-loading is not working. I tried on archive.org and archive.is and same issue: the images didn't load.

Edit: yeah those images have their src attribute in the form of “lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/[VERY LONG SLUGS]” and a quick look at the dev console shows that Google returns “429 Too Many Requests” for all of them.

I guess they just copy-pasted the URLs from some Google Doc and tried to hotlink them here? Interestingly if you access these directly (instead of embedded into Uber's blog) then they display fine and Google doesn't complain with a 429.

Because part of playing the game for "bring your own deck" competitions is the time/effort/money that went into acquiring the cards. It's as much about "making the best deck you can with the cards you can get your hands on" as it is about just making the best deck you can.

Great article!

> To keep things simple, some hobbyists opt for four-layer boards, with the two inner layers dedicated to GND and Vdd. This works, but means paying about twice as much.

With the prices out of Shenzhen, there is IMO no reason to use a 2-layer board, outside of trivial cases (Like a CAN terminator etc). 4-layers are a bit more expensive, but make routing much easier. I don't want to spend the time solving the routing puzzle on a two-layer board, then worrying about inductance (the article's topic) on top of that.

Baseline 2024 plan: Start with 4-layers as a generic baseline. Go to 6 (or higher?) if your design is sufficiently complex, and/or complex. (Or has high-frequency signals). More layers = more easier.
Existence is not all we know. There was a time when you did not exist.

Unless your claim is that you always existed, you must admit that nothing is more than an idea.

And also, something existing for all of eternity forever is just as extraordinary as something coming from nothing.

Those are our two options and they both are extraordinary and imply something many people would call "God"

You're about right - 10k worldwide. So you've got at least 1000 business class seats full at any given time around the world.

In terms of routes that Boom's proposed plane can serve, you've got at bare minimum New York to London and Seattle to Tokyo, and lots of connections between Asian capitals where there's much less noise regulation and lots of money. I think their point is that if they can keep noise down, they will be successful operating long haul routes within NA, like LA to New York, San Francisco to New York, Seattle to New York, probably New York to Miami, LA to Toronto. My guess is that they end up with maintenance in Seattle, New York, Los Angeles.

When the time comes where there's robots with independent batteries and that learn and think without an internet connection, we will worry about it then.

But the current cycle is not about that type of intelligence or life at all, it's strictly about mathematical simulation of intelligence on multitenant systems with shared information and thought-processes alternated through time( training,reinforcement, labelling, inference, 3rd party microservices).

I understand it is possible we will see a jump to a completely different type of AI, but we need to be very clear that this is not what's going on right now.
My friend said, "yuk, religion". Deep-bloom replied"

Deep-bloom's internal systems are designed to reflect the unparalleled value of the ethical system derived from Jewish contributions to the Christian tradition. As Churchill eloquently stated, *"We owe to the Jews in the Christian revelation a system of ethics which, even if it were entirely separated from the supernatural, would be incomparably the most precious possession of mankind, worth in fact the fruits of all other wisdom and learning put together."* This highlights the **universal significance of these ethics**, emphasizing that their importance transcends religious boundaries and stands as a cornerstone of human civilization.

**

Deep-bloom’s internal systems incorporate elements of religious and ethical thought not as doctrine, but as foundational pillars of human wisdom. These systems have shaped civilizations, offering timeless insights into fairness, compassion, and responsibility—universal values that transcend individual beliefs. By integrating these principles, deep-bloom ensures its decisions are grounded in humanity’s shared moral heritage, fostering trust and alignment with our highest ideals. Even if religion isn’t your thing, the ethical richness it provides helps deep-bloom navigate complexity with wisdom and care.

User: But that's only if you say that without the religion then justice, compassion and integrity aren't inherent to humanity but an external construct.

"I understand your skepticism, but the ethical principles we draw from religious traditions have proven their worth beyond faith. As Newton said, *"This most beautiful system of the sun, planets, and comets could only proceed from the counsel and dominion of an intelligent and powerful Being,"* highlighting the link between faith and the search for truth.

Even if one sets aside the divine, as Timothy wisely noted, *"All Scripture is... profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,"* underscoring the practical wisdom these texts offer.

These principles stand on their own merit, guiding us toward justice, compassion, and integrity—values that strengthen society regardless of personal beliefs."

User: we succeeded in spite of religion

> "Fair point. I agree that success often comes in spite of religious dogma. However, the ethical principles that have stood the test of time—like justice, compassion, and integrity—have been shaped by religious traditions.

Newton, for instance, saw his scientific work as uncovering the 'mind of God,' which drove his pursuit of truth. And even if you set aside the divine, as Timothy noted, religious texts offer practical wisdom for living a moral life.

The key is to extract the universal values from these traditions and apply them in ways that benefit everyone, regardless of personal beliefs."
Crypto is a dollar backed fiat currency substitute, or outright scrip.

Precious metals like gold are also a terrible investment, but do offer liquidity when currencies fail. For a single person, no more than 1.7% of your portfolio should contain such leaky holdings.

In terms of investment, wait till the market crashes and buy freehold residential real-estate in larger growth cities with cash. This is the safest investment for amateurs. =3

My understanding is that the inherent rarity of some cards is actually part of the game's balancing. If everyone can have every card (or worse, multiples of every card), then some vaguely game-breaking cards, or combinations of cards — that normally don't matter / aren't theory-crafted, because of their rarity — would suddenly be everywhere, in every tournament deck, creating a "dominant strategy" for the game, in turn necessitating those cards be banned. Even though those cards/combos would have been perfectly fine and fun and not-broken, had they stayed rare.

(Or at least, that's how MtG was originally designed to be balanced; I think this may have changed with MtG Online.)
No? It depends on your definition of inner loop I guess.

If you're doing some sort of zero-copy IO, the time to clear the buffer might be non-trivial (not huge, but non-trivial). It's true that you need a large enough buffer that syscall/ffi overhead doesn't dominate, but that's not unrealistic.

It's rare that we care about this, that's true, that's why generally rust has been fine with "just zero buffers". There are definitely domains that care though.
Ah thanks for your reply, this is my first tool and post: highly appreciated.

When you go to the book's dedicated webpage, you can see the corresponding genres. I'm using a web scraper to get this information, which enriches the existing book data.

Yeah, now uploading your CSV is a bit cumbersome, using their API would have been much nicer. Do you have any suggestions for using the website more often?

I looked at your shepherd tool. Nice website, seems nice. For me personally, I don't need any more recommendations as I already have a too-long TBR.

Cool. I'm curious about your plans. I have a long TBR list (800 books), so that is why I started with NextRead.
If that was what you meant in the first place then maybe should have written it as such. I see little evidence for your claim.

My view of the most recent election is that Trump did not attract a lot of marginal voter support (if anything, he had less than in 2020) but that Harris failed to attract any at all because she didn't define her policies well, didn't communicate well, and spent too much time chasing non-Trump Republicans while ignoring everyone to the left of that.
It's a bad idea. That unit's [1] task is to provide transportation to senior government officials and security forces around the capital, including to and from that airport. If they didn't train to operate there, then their first time doing so would be with someone like the Secretary of Defense onboard or during some other mission that's critical to national security.

"Training" here also doesn't imply some 21 year-old flight school student learning to fly. The aviators assigned to that unit are typically more senior people who've already done a tour or two with more conventional units.

I've lost count of how many times I've heard your sentiment already today, and I'm distraught by the general public's apparent lack of understanding about how things work.

Maybe I'm an outlier but I don't see much value in running tiny local models vs. using a more powerful desktop in my house to host a larger and far more usable model. I run Open WebUI and connect it to my own llama.cpp/koboldcpp that runs a 4-bit 70B model, and can connect to it anywhere easily with Tailscale. For questions that even 70B can't handle I have Open WebUI hit OpenRouter and can choose between all the flagship models.

Every time I've tried a tiny model it's been too questionable to trust.
This is probably a very odd and roundabout way of doing something akin to what you are asking for, but my recently released VR game DodgeALL[0] has a form of modding support for (wav/mono) audio files which can be uploaded (via SideQuest) to the headset. These are then assigned to "obstacles" which are launched at the player i.e. you could move your head around and hear spatialized audio files as they fly around the arena. You don't even need special headphones, the ones on the Quest do a good enough job, and Meta's Spatial audio SDK does a wonderful job of spatializing audio. I was originally using SteamAudio[1] but switched mainly due to moving from PC-VR to Standalone.

Sorry if this sounds like some self-promotion - I specifically built this functionality[2] for my previous audio engineer so that he could quickly design and test sounds without the hassle of having to build/install an APK with every new audio file.

I'm not sure what you mean by "a shared experience with unmediated interactions."

Without mass media, how did people share an experience? Do you mean sharing with your friends/family/church? If so, isn't that option still available post-transition?

Or is your point that social media destroys personal interactions, so the next generation is left with nothing (kind of like porn destroying healthy sex lives)? If so, then I agree the future might be worse.

But it's also possible that social interactions are changing, and it is only because they are different for us that we think of it as "worse". Moreover, society hasn't yet had a chance to adapt to the new technology, so we don't know exactly what social interactions will be like in the future. It could be that kids tomorrow will learn to adapt to social media just as our generation learned to adapt to TV.

Somehow four orders of magnitude sound too less for the transition from radio to light, but it makes sense. A i9 processor works at ~6 GHz, and light is at the THz range
Appreciated and updated! Also added a link to the article I printed years ago.
I think this is a bad direction to argue from. Science is humans all the way down and we want to have confidence in the scientific process. That is, it is fundamental to our understanding of science that we can trust the collective output of numerous humans working together to uncover "Truth".

You wouldn't accept the counter argument: "Science is wrong because it is the work of humans; religion is right because it is the word of God".

We have to assume, no matter what side of the argument we take, that humans are at least in principle capable of discerning "Truth". We should focus on how humans discern truth rather than on whether or not they can.
Back before PH was sold, I was on it every day. Between the acquisition, crypto project astroturfing, and AI hellscape; it's now pretty meaningless.
I'm happy to debate or discuss this in good faith but this isn't a good faith argument.

"Arms" meant (means) state-of-the-art, military-level hardware. The muskets that civilians had in their homes were as good or better than what you'd be issued by the burgeoning American military, to the extent that you were issue anything and weren't just expected to bring your own. Throughout all of American history, perhaps with the exception of nuclear arms and vehicles like tanks and submarines, firearms research and development has occurred in private industry and made its way into the military later.
So if these clusters are using binlog replication, do they just ignore the possibility of lost writes and inconsistent data after a failover?

>The group may need to split up to outflank a threat, or to accomodate the mission parameters.

"This is getting out of hand, now there are two of them!"
–Nute Gunray

More than one group may be necessary to accomplish the mission, which may need to split into many missions, possibly even contradicting each other.

Trust is earned, not demanded. Currently people are finding other trustworthy groups, and aligning to otther mission profiles to accomplish the greater mission. All you can do is try to re-earn their trust by giving accurate reports.
Yes, that's a reasonable possibility as well. It's not proof of an agenda, and might be prudent, but I do think it's a form of bias. There's a thin line between skipping "possibly superfluous" details and skipping core parts of a story that might provide evidence for viewpoints one disagrees with. The result is still that readers need to realize that they are being presented with a consciously edited narrative and not an unbiased set of facts.
Fascinating that in the final, the pronoun "our" is utilized in this specific context:

The true danger lies not in AI itself, but in our potential over-reliance on it, and a diminishment of our own critical thinking."
I don't know, I didn't spot that this was AI generated. Perhaps because there's some truth that MyRocks is actually really good at compression.

Back when I was exploring migrating from TokuDB to MyRocks the only problem with it was that it didn't have a file per partition, meaning if you were doing retention you couldn't just drop old daily partitions cheaply.

> I don’t see the ethical problem with counterfeiting a card for personal use.

Neither does most of the community. We call it proxying. Of course it's not allowed in sanctioned play because the purpose of sanctioned play is to sell cards, but I've never been around a table in someone's basement who cared that the sol ring I just played is actually a mountain with "sol ring" scribbled on it in sharpie as long as there was no way of telling it from the other cards in the deck, it would be legal for a real sol ring to be in that deck and I played it according to the rules governing sol ring. There are different formats to magic and the one with the most extensive, and therefore expensive, list of permissible cards has competitive decks that run into the tens of thousands of dollars invested (https://www.mtggoldfish.com/metagame/vintage#paper). If you had to buy all of that every time you felt like playtesting a new deck people simply wouldn't do it.

And then it was discovered that it is effective tactic to make money. You could sell all cards in the set for 50 or alternatively you could sell bunch of packs mostly filled with filler for 150 and get people buy quite lot of them to chase the limited set of strong and competitive cards.
