I think this is meant to be read as, "over the past decade, you haven't been able to wait a year and buy a new CPU to solve your vertical scalability issues.", not necessarily to claim that there hasn't been significant growth when compared over the entire window.
The bit error rates on spec sheets don't make much sense, and those analyses are wrong. You'd be unable to do a single full drive write and read without error, and with normal RAID you'd be feeding errors to your programs all the time even when no drives have failed.

If you're regularly testing your drive's ability to be heavily loaded for a few hours, you don't have much chance of failure during a rebuild.
I've been enjoying this app except I could not find a way to export the content to an audio file. I want to send the content to others - I'd even take a link to a website with a Play button (just not one that forces an app download)
Ability to use the debugger is one of my top priorities, I will often redesign an entire plan of it breaks the debugger (Either because it uses DSLs, or it's too strongly multi language, or it's not runnable locally on the desktop at all).

Same for version control, linting, and formatting, I pretty much ignore technologies that don't integrate with all the modern dev tools most of us expect to have.
In NZ we also have the Rural Connectivity Group (RCG) which operates over 400 cellular/mobile sites in rural areas for the three mobile carriers, capital funded jointly by the NZ Government and the three mobile carriers (with operational costs shared between the three carriers I believe). For context the individual carriers operate around 2,000 of their own sites in urban areas and most towns in direct competition with each other. It has worked really well for the more rural parts of the country, filling in gaps in state highway coverage as well as providing coverage to smaller towns that would be uneconomical for the individual carriers to cover otherwise. I'm talking towns of a handful of households getting high speed 4G coverage. Really proud of NZ as this sort of thing is unheard of in most other countries.
Ask HN: Ideas for Business Cards
Hi, I'm a freelancer working in security and I'm looking for companies and ideas for some good business cards that are out of ordinary. I am thinking about business cards that have (very basic and stupid stuff) secure elements or watermark, but I can't find anything online.
I think publications practicing actual journalism like The Upshot and ProPublica do an incredible job of this. The focus is always clear presentation and accessibility above all else but its undeniable that so much of their work is also just gorgeous
Thank you for the feedback.

> Reposition markers to make the item they're referencing clear. In particular, marker 6 (C) completely obscures the text on the jar.

I agree, and I'll take care of that. It’s a bit tricky because the marker’s exact position can shift slightly depending on the display being used, but I’ll adjust it for better clarity.

> Allow a toggle for markers to be unhighlighted.

Yes, this will be especially useful as we add more markers. I already have at least 50 more in mind that I plan to include.

> Having 'hover highlighting' for the annotations/markers.

I intentionally designed the layout this way to ensure the image and annotations remain functional across different screen types without introducing overly complex logic. That said, I’m sure someone with more expertise in web development could refine this further.

100%. I’ll add that shortly.

That would be a kneejerk, short-sighted, self-destructive position to take, so I can believe people would do it.

No, but Neuralink has proven results and proven useful applications. If you believe that they should publish more data or that there has been a specific misconduct then that is a different argument.
Using LLMs to steganographically encode secret messages
Goddammit, of course the closest edge/node to the user is their own damn device... I should have realized that long time ago
I don't think this is about a niche but rather a broader need for lists, more specifically, integrated lists from users. Pinterest, for example, is built around lists, Amazon has wishlists, IMDb[1] provides movie rankings, etc.

From a data portability perspective, the real challenge is getting users to connect all these platforms to a kind of unified list, making it accessible for queries, machine learning, or other applications. This, in my view, is a traction problem rather than a technical one, independent of whether it justifies a business. FriendFeed[2] was a very interesting project where users could connect their profiles with many services and their followers saw their updates. It seems their Tornado web server keeps getting updated [3].

More than a decade ago, I explored some of these ideas [4][5], conceptualizing a directed acyclic graph (DAG) model where data operations could be performed at a global level, dynamically recalculating like a spreadsheet.

Going to more complex topics there are resources such as differential dataflows [6].

At this point syncing playlists across devices is my main requirement for a music library player.

I still have Spotify but I mostly use Plexamp now and have pretty much phased out musikcube. I still have a musikcubed service container pushing a large playlist on repeat/shuffle to a FM transmitter though.
> I believe you very well know it’s not, and are transparently arguing in bad faith.

That is actually what you are talking about; "uncompetitive" looks like something in the real world. There isn't an abstract dial that someone twiddles to set the efficiency of two otherwise identical outcomes - the competitive one will typically look more advanced and competently organised in observable ways.

To live in nice houses and have good food requires a competitive economy. The uncompetitive version was literally living in the forest with some meagre shelter and maybe having a wood fire to cook food (that was probably going to make someone very sick). The reason the word "competitive" turns up so much is people living in a competitive society get to have a more comfortable lifestyle. People literally starve to death if the food system isn't run with a competitive system that tends towards efficiency; that experiment has been run far too many times.
Nice! Did you print it yourself, or did you use a company?

I'm probably going to frame my puzzle once I finish it. I know I can get a frame that allows me to "unframe" it and redo it again.
> Being concerned about animal testing seems pretty silly coming from people who likely eat pigs

This is reductive and lacking any form of nuance. If I eat chicken, should I automatically be okay with heavily industrialized chicken farms, or even setting chickens alight for entertainment? Just because one evolved to be an omnivore doesn't mean one is okay with all forms of killing animals.
It seems like there was a dip in mid-May and that it didn't go back up until mid/late-August? That corresponds pretty closely to US summer breaks. Also a huge spike in early December followed up a huge drop, final exams and then winter break?
You are making a caricature of modern lifestyle farming, not an argument for people literally living as they did in the past. Going to your local garden center and buying some seedlings and putting them on your balcony isn't demonstrative of a life like our ancestors lived. Living in one of the wealthiest countries to ever have existed and going to the hardware store to buy expensive hardwoods to decorate your house isn't the same as living as our ancestors did.

You don't realize the luxury you have and for some reason you assume that it is possible without that wealth. The reality of that lifestyle without tremendous wealth is more like subsistence farming in Africa and less like Swedish planned neighborhoods.
If that is the case then yes, agree, but there was no indication that is the case. The air is very thin out there.

In fact, it's linearly proportional, because momentum us m*v, so for 20 km/s propellant exhaust seed and 8 km/s air it needs to spend exactly 8/20=0.4 times the propellant to not slow down.
The older one was a 2007 Honda van -- the newer one is from 2012. I think that system was introduced in MY 2005.

Either way, it's almost certainly old enough that the patents are expired.

And I was surprised by it myself. It would have seemed like absolute wizardry to me if I knew of it back in '05.

You raise an interesting point about more-recent rentals: People don't talk much about how stuff like this works, because if it is working well then they don't need to think about it at all. They don't even need to notice it.

The code is not runnable on the frontend. It needs to be transformed/built before that can happen.

Saying this doesn't have a build step is like saying a python script that compiles and runs a C program from source has no build step.
Instead of migrating from server to server — and remaining on computers I don’t own - I download locally which it looks this tool doesn’t do. I use mbsync/isync which is fast and reliable. https://isync.sourceforge.io/

It looks like a lot more flexible than this tool, although I only use it for local downloads. But I believe it allows for arbitrary trafficking of mail files between imap servers, local stores, etc.

> there were a range of expert opinions that P(destroy-the-world) < 100

I would hope that it would not suffice to say "not a 100% chance of destroying the world". Because there's a wide range of expert opinions saying values in the 1-99% range (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P(doom) for sample values), and none of those values are even slightly acceptable.

But sure, by all means stipulate all the things you said; they're roughly accurate, and comparably discouraging. I think it's completely, deadly wrong to think that "race to find it" is safer than "stop everyone from finding it".

Right now, at least, the hardware necessary to do training runs is very expensive and produced in very few places. And the amount of power needed is large on an industrial-data-center scale. Let's start there. We're not yet at the point where someone in their basement can train a new frontier model. (They can run one, but not train one.)
There must be something Intel, TSMC, and NXP (fmr. Motorola) saw in the area to build several fabs there.
Let me rephrase.

Doing the power conversion is hard.

Realizing that you already have several DC converters sharing the load, and deciding to power specific converters with specific pins, is comparatively easy. And the 3090 did it.

>>> In mathematics, the convolution theorem states that under suitable conditions the Fourier transform of a convolution of two functions (or signals) is the pointwise product of their Fourier transforms.

Other versions of the convolution theorem are applicable to various Fourier-related transforms.
wow I wasn't aware of VanJS before. It looks nice!

in my limited exploring of VanJS so far, I like that it also takes the direction to simplify things. That said, afaik VanJS simplifies the "JSX" part (so: we don't have to transpile from JSX to vanilla JS because... we don't even use JSX :D).

For the target output (which we need to start the actual app), afais, VanJS still involves this build step: https://github.com/vanjs-org/vanjs-org.github.io/blob/master...

( we can see it being used from `package.json` at the "build" step: https://github.com/vanjs-org/vanjs-org.github.io/blob/master... )
Great question!

In the absolute worst case (drawing an object at the very top of the screen, and the LCD output for the next frame started right before the current one finished), buffering adds a 2 frame delay (33 milliseconds). Probably noticeable for some people, but this worst case is uncommon.

Average case I would expect ~0.5 to 1 frame delay, so 8 to 16 milliseconds. Probably not really noticeable.

It benefits the poor by allocating resources as efficiently as possible. If there is someone who is poor enough that they need help from society/the government, it would be much more effective to transfer money directly to the, rather than very very poorly (probably regressively in fact) target that help by having the public subsidize parking on their block.

They would rather have the $100 in efficient redistribution rather than the government spend $100 so that they can benefit by $1.
That's a great example of "doing it wrong makes it better", in this case not filtering stop words.
Its not the job of the government to make money off of citizens, so this factor is irrelevant

If the common carrier is doing all the work, what’s the point of the companies on top? What do they add to the system besides cost?

Come on man, you don't actually believe this. If you did you'd be a psychopath, and you certainly seem to care about people's lives when it comes to things like climate change. Just because you don't think AI doom is as likely, doesn't mean you should go and pretend that in that one case you all of a sudden have a nihilistic view of human life -- rhetoric matters.
“Do not” doesn't serve the goal, unless you have absolute universal buy in, active prevention (which means some entity evaluating and deciding on threats); that's why the people serious about this have argued that those who pursue it need to be willing to actively destroy computing infrastructure of those who do not submit to the restriction regime.

Also, "alignment" doesn't mean "not killing everyone", it means "functioning according to (some particular set of) human's preferred set of values and goals". "Killing everyone" is a consequence some have inferred if unaligned AI is produced (redefining "alignment" to mean "not killing everyone" makes the whole argument circular.)
No need to worry: there are amazing optimizations happening in the software and hardware world, but outside the US - unless you don't consider these places as being part of "Civilization"
Was wondering if it's possible to use sshuttle with SSM but didn't realize SSM had its own mixing protocol.

An SSM client library is super helpful for embedding the tunneling into the client app. At a previous employer, we'd access jumphosts from AWS Session Manager and GCP Identity Aware Proxy and were looking to embed that connection flow into some cli management utilities to ease use. At the time, we ended up starting the tunneling processes separately inside the code but it would have been much nicer and easier with a library.

The probability of interaction of neutrinos with matter increases with the energy. I've asked o1 to estimate the mean free path of a 120 PeV neutrino in water and it came up with 1000km. So let's say, conservatively, that 10^-7 of the total energy gets deposited in your body when the beam goes through. The mass equivalent of a ping pong ball is about 2.5x10^14 J, which gives us 2.5x10^7 J total, or about 6kg TNT equivalent. This is only an order-of-magnitude estimate, but it would definitely not be healthy.
Deno does not support jsx and typescript 'without a build step'. It just runs a build/transform step for you under the hood - using the same tsc compiler, config, etc.

> Our most important finding is that the reproducibility rate in nixpkgs has increased steadily from 69% in 2017 to about 91% in April 2023. The high reproducibility rate in our most recent revision is quite impressive, given both the size of the package set and the absence of systematic monitoring in nixpkgs. We knew that it was possible to achieve very good reproducibility rate in smaller package sets like Debian, but this shows that achieving very high bitwise reproducibility is possible at scale, something that was believed impossible by practitioners4

I think people in this thread are focusing on the wrong thing. Sure, not all packages are reproducible, but the project is systematically increasing the percentage of projects that are reproducible while ALSO adding new projects and demonstrating conclusively that what was considered infeasible is actually readily achievable.

> The interesting aspect of these causes is that they show that even if nixpkgs already achieves great reproducibility rates, there still exists some low hanging fruits towards improving reproducibility that could be tackled by the Nix community and the whole FOSS ecosystem.

This work is helpful I think for the community to tackle the sources of unreproducible builds to push the percentage up even further. I think it also highlights the need for automation to validate that there aren't systematic regressions or regressions in particularly popular packages (doing individual regressions for all packages is a futile effort unless a lot of people volunteer to be part of a distributed check effort).
