Bandwidth is a part, but that’s an easy hurdle. But running a CDN at that scale is gonna require experience and truck load of money. The juice really has to be worth the squeeze.

Similar to running on-prep vs cloud.
I'm an Endeavour user too. It's been a really great experience so far.
I've seen a few things go that route - Hazbin Hotel was a YouTube pilot ish thing and got picked up on Amazon, I think amazing digital circus got grabbed by someone too.

No one seems to stay on YouTube when it happens though.
> Retention is a terrible metric for a dating app. The "perfect" dating app would have a 0% retention rate since the first person you meet would be your "ideal partner".

A terrible metric for the users. For the shareholders, the perfect dating app is one where the users are strung along for their whole lives, paying for a subscription but never finding anything permanent.
Linux Mint recently poured a lot of effort into modernizing and streamlining APT dependencies on their distro and it's great work[0]

This is literally one of the things DEI programs push to implement. I have a friend who helps make hiring decisions and this is one of the changes their DEI push included, as well as pulling from a larger pool.

It just shows how much propaganda there is around DEI, you're saying we should get rid of DEI and replace it with the things DEI was trying to do. It really has become the new critical race theory.
Flash is back, baby.

It is worse than Google at some queries, but for me that's a tiny fraction of my total searches. I usually only use Google if I need local results / Google Maps.

What makes Kagi great is that they let you customize results. I've pinned wikipedia, for instance. Google first throws AI slop in your face (with no way of disabling it), followed promptly by (presumably also AI-generated) blog spam, Pinterest links, and other useless garbage that I can't filter.

fwiw, I search in German every once in a while and the results are a lot better than Google (in the US, anyways), since I don't need a VPN to get "good" results and have a quick toggle button for my location built into Kagi.

Also, as a company, they seem great: They are neutral, run as a PBC, are very open and transparent about what they offer and why it costs money ("no BS", if you will), are receptive to feedback and do consumer-friendly stuff like this change.
It's really confusing to me that I drag a piece, I drop it on a square, it stays there, and there's an animation that the piece returns to the bottom. If it stays there, it shouldn't have a "returning" animation. Otherwise, it's an interesting puzzle.
In the period when Go was ready for production use and Rust wasn't, I couldn't wait for Rust to be ready, so that the response to everyone hating Go for not being a C++ equivalent could just be, "I think you want Rust."

I think you want Rust.
Agree - in my 10+ year career, I've run into exactly 2 PM's that have provided enough value to a team or project to justify their inclusion in the team or project. Both were technical enough to understand what the engineers were working on and talking about and were able to offer genuinely good suggestions.

The rest? At best they were glorified QA/QC with a large stick to hit the engineers with when the spec wasn't met exactly. And when it was, and things still failed, they still hit the engineers with the large stick and were usually promoted for it.
> REPLs are not useful design tools

Add Jupyter notebooks to the list.

TBH, I don't see it either. It's a hell lot of changes that can only be achieved by some dramatic political movements.
Managed to guess it on the first try after realising it looked like a real game. Bit sad to see only one puzzle per day.

Sharing the result also reveils the solution in copied text, maybe remove that so someone could share the exact puzzle without immediatly seeing the solution.
That's why they're terrified of Luigi Mangione. He's evidence that the left may not allow this to be a bloodless revolution. That's why they've suppressed the news about his case. They want the public to forget. Never forget.
It's a hard learned lesson that the UI tools can fail you at some point with Linux. At which point you are going to have to resort to the command line to fix it or just reinstall everything from scratch. A lot of people do the latter. Learning to fix things will get you familiar with the command line in a hurry.
You could share data on the college, like the median SAT score of admits or the admissions rate.

And I'm not entirely sure that omitting colleges entirely would be such a bad idea. Colleges apply selective admission criteria all the time, for athletes and legacy admits. Skills based screening would probably work better.
I don't think it's a "hit" for Google. They'll optimize ads to always ensure they make a profit from a view. It's a win/win.
I do scientific computing and a lisp was one of my first languages, so i feel like i ought to be the target audience, but it just never quite catches me.

It’s almost statically compilable which has almost gotten me to pick it up a few times, but apparently it still can’t compile a lot of the most important ecosystem packages yet.

The metaprogramming has almost gotten me to pick it up a few times, but apparently there aren’t mature static anti-footgun tools, even to the degree of mypy’s pseudo-static analysis, so I wouldn’t really want to use those in prod or even complex toy stuff.

It’s so damned interesting though. I hope it gets some of this eventually.
This is a good point. They may lose rights if they fail to distribute for a certain amount of time. They may revert to the filmmaker or someone else. This is a way to comply contractually.

I have never gotten the blue green ostacization. It's a color. It denotes whether you're using iMessage or SMS (now the new standard, RCS I think).

Like I've heard of teenagers giving each other shit for it, I have never ever once in my life, myself or any person I've worked or been friends with, gives it a second thought. And if I actually heard someone attempting to make this into a thing I would judge them incredibly harshly.
> Managed Dissatisfaction, FOMO, Abundance: And the users want it. That's what the data shows

Correction: the users don't "want" it, but many of them aren't strong or wise enough to resist those features.

The (presumably usage) data can't show what the users want, only what they do, and those often aren't the same thing.
>So where will so called top scientists go?

Back to their home countries. I can think of about a half dozen world leading scientists I work with every day who would pack up their labs if funding dried up. They already did it once to move to the US because that is where the most funding was for these diseases. If you make the US inhospitable to these talented people, they will not think twice about finding a country that doesn't consider them "bottom feeders".

Also. Believe it or not, there are other fields than DEI/Climate/Gender studies, and when you remove the incentive to work in the US, the leaders in these other fields will leave.
> But a key part is that there has to be an in-group and an out-group [2], which pretty much requires some great moral panic or perceived threat.

But the outgroup can't be too big. Otherwise it becomes capable of real (rather than just apparent) resistance. Making "those who think crimes were committed on January 6th, and that those crimes should be prosecuted" the outgroup may be a strategic error, because that's far too many people.

I think, if this is following the fascist playbook, it's doing so accidently and badly. I think he's just trying to punish everyone who ever told him he did something wrong. (And make it so no one will do so ever in the future, so maybe that is part of the fascist playbook.)

> American conservatism is fascism. It's only purpose is to punish one's perceived enemies. Cruelty is the point. Chaos is the point.

That's not conservativism. That's the shell of conservativism after a hostile takeover. There's plenty of conservatives who are appalled at all this.

True. Now do 2020-2024.
Many Indian movies are available on YouTube. Particularly old movies or dubbed from South Indian languages to Hindi. Some of them of 100s of millions of views. Considering home video market is more or less dead. YouTube is the best pay per view (via ads) available.
> It's illogical to call to "Make America Great Again" while also claiming there's no decline.

The logic is undiminished potential hobbled by weak leaders, sinister cabals, and their enablers.
Well, then you have to account for certain jobs and hobbies being coded, as well as word choices in the personal statement. Once you blank all that out, though, we should be good to go.
2.0 Pro Experimental seems like the big news here?

> Today, we’re releasing an experimental version of Gemini 2.0 Pro that responds to that feedback. It has the strongest coding performance and ability to handle complex prompts, with better understanding and reasoning of world knowledge, than any model we’ve released so far. It comes with our largest context window at 2 million tokens, which enables it to comprehensively analyze and understand vast amounts of information, as well as the ability to call tools like Google Search and code execution.
Your link confirms GP is correct:

> Musk holds a "top secret" clearance that gives him access to some of SpaceX's sensitive programs.
> It's not predicting, mostly it's about recognizing the consequences of each choice (for later modifications)

This is the exact trap I'm describing. It sounds very reasonable, but how is it not prediction when you're asking people to "recognize the <future> consequences of each choice"? You have very little to no understanding of the context, environment or application of today's creations. Smart, experienced people got us into the current microservice, frontend JS, "serverless" cloud messes.
There are B2B SaaS services for streaming content, you upload the file they host and stream it for you with some API integrations to restrict access.

Although I imagine they cost more than youtube's cut from ad-revenue.
Sounds like a problem with the CIA, not USAid. But that quote is self-defeating for your argument if it happens "much less frequently now than in the old days." Obviously it shouldn't ever happen, but like, just make it never happen. It's so obvious that these post-hoc justifications are just a smokescreen for what's really going on, which is the looting of the state for private interests.
There’s been a lot of discussion here about the legality of some presidential actions over the last two weeks, so I thought I’d find a seemingly neutral discussion of what is and isn’t in the executive branch’s legal scope of authority.
Wow, that is an impressive list of 100% incorrect assumptions stated as fact!

Of course I know Trump won a plurality and that is the 1PTP system we have. The point that neither had a majority is that it is entirely possible that under RCV, he (or Harris) could still have lost.

>>Treat Ivy League grads as gods because they read Derrida?

Wow, couldn't be more wrong. I AM an Ivy grad (on scholarship) with one of my majors in Philosophy, barely encountered Derrida, and certainly don't treat any other grad or person with more or less respect than they individually deserve from the content of their character (but I'm glad you have nothing against Ivy League "kids").

>> convinced to support them ...because I'm not one of them
Wrong X2. Obvs, I AM one. Plus, the only derivation of my support is from first principles of governance.

First, the most essential factor do deal with in governance is human nature, and the historically established fact that "Power Corrupts, and Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely". There may be exceptions in history, but they only prove the rule.

Of course technically, the most efficient and effective form of govt is a benevolent dictatorship. But this is absolutely unsustainable. Either the King will himself be corrupted or one of the next rulers will become corrupted.

The only way to deal with this, as has been said "The worst form of government aside from all others that have been tried" is democracy, and more exactly ensuring that power is as widely distributed, divided, and balanced as possible.
In a functioning democratic or successful society, the three branches of government are balanced in power, and the branches of society, business, industry, press, academy, religion, social orgs, sport, etc. are also independent.

When all parties work to uphold the balance of power, or at least intend to keep that power vested in the people, then my support or opposition is down to policy.

When one of the major parties has abandoned the principles of democracy and is actively working to rule as a minority party, then I oppose them just as I oppose Nazis (which happens to be the playbook the admin is using).

When one of the major parties in a 2-pty system has turned against the very system that ensures our life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness, I oppose them and support the remaining party who does support democracy.

And yes, that is the ONLY issue that can overrule the principle of not becoming a single issue voter — on preserving democracy when it is at stake, that IS the single issue.

It is as simple as that.

If Rs are somehow replaced as a party, or return to small-d democratic principles, I may very well start voting for them again, as I often did in earlier years (and I grew up with strongly R parents). But for now, they have gone far off the rails, and I could tell stories from inside R conventions where I was that would illuminate that some, but will not here.
I know, but what do I do about global warming and microplastics? Our leaders don't seem to care.

Show HN: Relicle – Tech News Aggregator Using GenAI
Hi HN,

I have created a tech news aggregator that solves the problem of traditional aggregators that link you to other sites. Relicle pulls articles hourly and concisely summarizes them using AI. It includes a chat feature that lets you ask followups about the context of the news. Please let me know of any feedback that you have!
I lean toward most people remaining generally apathetic. There are many DIY kits and guides for a great number of things that have done most of the hard work of designing, measuring, cutting, etc for you. My perception is that most people would still rather buy or use an already finished product.

Does the average person even use computers outside of desk workers at work now, anyway? Can you build and deploy an app with an iPhone/Android app?
Looks slick!
Does it work on the web portal only?
Or do you have an email/chat plugin support as well?

This isn't really a practical problem.

If you created the slice, you control it and you can modify its elements, append to it, etc.

If you didn't create the slice, you don't control it. If you want to modify it or append to it, you should copy it first.

This has reflected how I've seen Go used professionally by people experienced in the language. The language could offer more help (but probably never will), but it's not hardly a regression from C. The real regression from C is the lack of const pointers.
Like the ones they tested?
Show HN: Sveltos – Event-Driven Tool for Kubernetes Add-Ons and App Deployment
Hi HN,

Managing Kubernetes add-ons, policies, and configurations across multiple clusters can feel like herding cats. That’s where Sveltos comes in—a lightweight, open-source tool to make managing fleets of Kubernetes clusters simple, scalable, and secure.

What Can Sveltos Do?

1. Centralized Management – Deploy apps, add-ons, and policies from a single control plane, instead of setting up GitOps tooling on every cluster. A lightweight agent on each managed cluster keeps things efficient.

2. Security: Best of Push & Pull GitOps – Unlike traditional GitOps, which either requires exposing your clusters to external Git credentials (push) or setting up agents on each cluster (pull), Sveltos combines centralized GitOps management with secure pull-based configurations and push-based deployments—keeping credentials in a single, secure location.

3. Dynamic & Event-Driven Cluster Management – Just apply labels to a cluster, and Sveltos will automatically determine what apps, policies, and add-ons should be installed. You can even trigger actions based on real-time events, such as AI-driven insights or infrastructure changes. And from yesterday's release, Sveltos integrates with NATS to listen for any CloudEvents and dynamically respond by deploying resources.

4. Lightweight & Kubernetes-Native – Sveltos is built using Kubernetes-native concepts (CRDs, controllers) and runs with minimal resource overhead.
Proactive Monitoring – Ensures clusters stay in their desired state, reapplying configurations as needed.

How Are People Using Sveltos?

1. Database as a Service (DBaaS): Consistently deploy and manage database instances fleet-wide.

2. Fleet-Wide Add-On Management: Automate the deployment of tools like monitoring, logging, and security to all clusters at scale.

3. NATS Management: Deploy and monitor NATS clusters for message streaming.

4. API Gateway & Service Deployment: Automate workflows for exposing services with tools like Kong.

5. Custom Workflows: Whether enforcing fleet-wide security policies or orchestrating CI/CD pipelines, Sveltos adapts to your needs.

One of the Ways Sveltos Works:

1. Label your clusters using Kubernetes label selectors.

2. Use YAML to define add-ons and policies to apply.

3. Let Sveltos dynamically configure clusters as they match the criteria.

US law has the concept of "civil contempt" to address willful lawbreaking of this sort. At that point executives risk jail time.

When we overcome the gravity well with several orders of magnitude less energy than required. Then the constraint is still geography, but allows people to spread out.
Or if the Justice Department directed the Bureau and the FBI refused, that would be a clear example of this sort of administrative power Trump’s coalition supposedly hates.

The FBI also has a reputation as populated by generally very straight laced conservatives, so this is an odd situation to watch unfold.

I have a list of movies you can't find anywhere, not even for pay, not even on on obscure services. I check every once in a while to see if they pop up (JustWatch.us is great for this, IMDB is copying). Example: "Amateur" by Hal Hartley, though it's easy enough to buy copies on DVD.

It IS available to stream! See https://www.halhartley.com/amateur
So what you're saying is that alternatives do exist, but they aren't popular... that doesn't sound like a "duopoly" exists, it just sounds like Android and Apple cover the needs of the vast majority of people. I'm sure it's difficult to be part of a niche, but that doesn't mean that there's some conspiracy against you.
This is the worst possible move. After 9/11 CIA did not even have anyone at the Afghanistan desk, and as the rumor goes, had to go find him in retirement, sober him up, and get him to the White House.
So, actually looking in my dead-tree kanji dictionary yielded a small table of the differences between 非…, 不…, 無…, and 未…:

非 negative judgement
不 negation of a state or action
無 negation of existence
未 negation of existence to date (=not yet)

so I guess "unfortunate exit" is very parallel to "emergency exit" and my previous examples were more exceptional usages.
If you have to use windows W11 IoT is the best version of windows to use. Zero bloatware. Only downside is you can't update an existing machine to it you need to clean install.
Yeah, like he stated that he wasn't going to do anything that was in project 2025. So that was a lie.
> Realize that some of these measures draw attention to yourself

This makes a good case for using them all the rest of the time. If you’re in a relatively safe position you can help to normalize privacy to provide cover for those who need it now, and perhaps for yourself should you need it in the future.
It would be really nice if YouTube could give uploaders the ability to schedule ad slots, rather than them appearing randomly.

Unless they do this already and stuff I watch just does it badly, of course.

Wanted to comment on how bad of an idea this seems but at the same time... it could open new things. You could charge satellites on demand (seems dumb if they could carry their own solar panels). Bad idea regarding many more things orbiting up there like starlink especially with competing brands.
oh god, this is terrible!

I just said "Hello!" and it went off the rails.
Yeah there are just a lot of titles with weird rights situations that no one cares about resolving. Maybe you lost clearance on a song in the movie, or one of the actors has a clause in their contract, or some company bought the distribution rights for a certain territory and then went out of business.

Lots of situations where resolving the rights issues is going to cost more than you expect the movie to bring in, especially once you start talking about splitting the revenue with online storefronts.
Just curious, why not simply stop using snaps? On my machine, the whole snapd* can be removed, and mozilla offers pretty high-quality ubuntu repo for firefox.

Don't let the cloud providers fool you. Bandwidth is cheap, especially for Googles, Netflixes and Cloudflares of the world which peer with every ISP that matters.
