> Instead he had to reuses the set from the Conan the Destroyer

My understanding is that Conan reused Dune sets, not the other way round. The Dune sets were extremely intricate and expensive, and are definitely one of the few highlights of the film.

> He didn't even get the music he wanted and that's big part of his movies.

Not sure how Toto ended up doing the music for that film. That film was an absolute mess.
>do you think that the demand to live in San Francisco is infinite?

In practical terms, because of the inevitable feedback loop, yes. Building more housing creates more demand for housing.

If SF built more houses, then rent would drop and thus more businesses/jobs could be profitable at the same standard of living. The more jobs there are, the more demand for housing there is. And if people move into those new houses then the city has a larger userbase for any locally-focused businesses.

This whole loop is why cities keep growing.

In other words, meeting the demand for housing creates more demand for housing.
As a native Japanese, we think it means "universe" when I hear it. And in my opinion there are no people who think it means "universal".

What makes you so sure/special in this regard? What are you gaining from this? If your were that enlightened as you claim, Germany wouldn't be in such a mess right now. If you only spent as much effort in securing your borders, energy independence and defence, as you spent lecturing others on imaginary Nazis and banning hate speech on social media, you'd be a respectable world power right now at the table with Trump and Putin ending this war before it even happened. The "we know better than you" arrogance is Germany's biggest problem.

>This is basically blaming the thing criticized on the people criticizing it.

It's not blaming, I'm just telling you what the simplest solution is. Ignoring attention seekers is better than giving them more attention. Which is why I'm also gonna ignore your future comments form now on.
Pretty sure they are not anymore, when I was majoring in cs the deepest I was taught was assembly and architecture at a high level. I then switched to computer engineering and that’s where digital logic was a mandatory class.
Agreed, it was super funny, especially if a song played in the beginning or if you switched languages. It has gotten way better, at least in my experience.
A retrospective on Google's SBOM implementation [pdf]
The more pertinant observation is that cars are a great tool for mobility, but going _all in_ on cars causes a whole bunch of issues at society scale. If you zone cities and design infrastructure with the assumption that everyone drives, it forces everybody into the least space efficient mode of transport. You have to designate huge amounts of valuable real estate to keeping all those cars somewhere. People who _can't_ drive will have much more difficulty navigating life. When cars arrived, some parts of the world made sure their cities were still easy to navigate by foot, bike and transit, and I'd argue they're more pleasant places to be.

The point isn't to say that new tech is bad, but that there can be adverse consequences to jumping in wholesale.

This is hardly bizzare but how governments everywhere work. People in power are not benevolent out of the goodness of their hearts but because the people from whom they derive their power - the population in a democratic state - continuously fight against overreach of their powers.

And it's not like this is a one-sided conflicts. Governments are actively working to suppress their citizens from standing up to them - by restricting free speech that would allow those citizens to organize, by trying to shape the thoughts of their citizens through various forms of propaganda and ultimately by doing everything they can to retain the state's monopoly on violence.

Nobody is saying emotions don't exist. But I, like many others, believe that our ability to choose our reactions based on reason rather than emotion is what separates us from animals. We don't always succeed, but this is why your unevidenced claim implying that emotion is the primary driver of decision making has ruffled feathers.

People including myself have emotional reactions, but I choose to respond with a reasoned explanation, and I certainly wouldn't engage in violence with you over it, even if a portion of my lizard brain demanded that I should.
Some of them might have had a really good mental map; but the majority would just take inefficient routes (and charge you some random price that they put into their counter) — plenty of reasons to dislike Uber but having a pre-set price, vetted/rated drivers, and clear routing for a taxi service is a massive plus in my opinion.

Not too different from, say, any of Toyota's hybrids (and the TLC100 / GS430 / others using "electronic brakeforce distribution")? Same with almost every EV out there, same with MB's SBC, etc. I really don't see why this counts as a big leap - all I see is the removal of the backup direct hydraulic lines, which doesn't exactly sit well with me.
The Seek app (by iNaturalist, another excellent app) also can identify plants based on a photo, and without the need for an internet connection, which is a critical feature IMO since you often want it when you’re out walking in the woods or whatever.

And already has a number of lawsuits started because he's trying to do things neither he nor the president are allowed to do. Getting an EO to do something doesn't mean it's automatically legal. Multiple big decisions have already been reverted or are held until judges can review them. Even things like the promised payout for quitting are not practical, because only congress can approve the money for that.
Yes, we've used the Litestream + SQLite + Go webserver route in production for several years and while we've had to deal with all of these issues, on the whole I don't have a strong argument for going back and doing it differently.

I'm curious what issues the author had with high availability - I totally understand the issue in theory, but in practice our SQLite-backed service has had 6 minutes of downtime in the last 3 years when we were upgrading the host. That works out to being quite a few 9s.

I do agree with the article on a few points - distributed SQLite doesn't really seem all that worthwhile to me (yet, anyway).
You really only have to keep your important papers in your pants pockets.
It’s not a common use case though, dipping into an unfamiliar tech stack only to dip out after committing the code. Typically, when you learn a new stack (eg. for a job), you’ll be living in it for at least a few months, and at that point, you’d be better served by perusing the docs and getting deeply familiar with the API.

The copilots get you going quick at the expense of your learning, which is great for one-offs, but not lasting work quality.
Mongo DB also disables safety features by default to improve their benchmarks. But Mongo DB gets lots of criticism for that and SQLite gets none.
Have you read the news lately? Amazon is about to restrict the rights of kindle users. They are about to remove the ability to download and transfer books via USB.

I don’t support/condone piracy, but I also don’t support the current trend of taking away user rights.

Next on the list will be the removal of the ability to transfer via email. Just wait.

That being said, all kindles can now be jailbroken: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43073969

I'm Malayalam from Kerala state was not first if cultural exchange was the metric. ME natives often ask if somebody is from Kerala or (rest of) India. Malabar traded with Middle East for millenia (now cash crops, trades and skilled laborers, medical tourism) and Malayalam loans many words from Arabic and there is an Arabic script for Malayalam.
Huh, for me it's the opposite. It does the boring bit, writing pedestrian method bodies. Writing import statements. Closing tags.

Reviewing the cryptography used by Signal
If this is now finally supported that's great. The issue was that for it to be useful it has to be marked critical / fail-closed, because a CA with ignored name constraint == an unrestricted CA. But if you make it critical, then clients who don't understand it will just fail. You can see how this doesn't help adoption.
There are just more regulations to comply with before a release. OpenAI's new Deep Research tool wasn't originally available in the EU either, but it was released less then a week after it came out in the US. Since the EU is a gigantic market with a lot of buying power and this release makes a strong case for people to switch over from competitors, I doubt it'll take long.
You can also use a different but similar tool e.g. use sqlite to keep user information, use duckdb to keep user data. I find this combo very effective since sqlite is best as fast btree based indexed operations and duckdb is best at multiple row based aggregate computations (get me user X vs get me all users with property Y).
Woah, that is a rather egregious amount of drama. Money really does ruin everything good.
The application I'm building (I haven't launched yet) has one database per customer that tracks the things the customer does in the application, plus a single database that tracks the metadata about all of the customers. The metadata changes very slowly (each customer will probably make at most one update per year), so there will be (almost) no write contention on the metadata database. Each customer has an id (a random 64-bit integer) which is used (in hexadecimal) as the filename for the individual customer database.

The total addressable market for my application is about 2,500 customers, and they won't use it at all in most weeks. I'm aware that this usage pattern is very uncommon, so I don't recommend what I'm doing as a general solution.
i confirm your hypothesis and would like to add myself to your sample.
I've started using SQLite for all new Apps a couple of years ago and haven't looked back. It was the catalyst for us to get off AWS (and RDS) where we now deploy (.NET) Docker Apps with Kamal to a shared Hetzner Linux VM which uses Litestream for replication to Cloudflare R2.

We've adopted several ways to workaround SQLite's single concurrent writer [1] including: splitting system functionality in multiple databases, separate locks per db, performing writes within a single worker thread for each db, etc.

Despite being significantly cheaper, its next to zero latency actually performs better than our Apps using RDS. We also benefit from monthly rolling databases for request logs and db jobs and make use of SQLite's Application defined SQL Functions (i.e. calling C# functions in SQL queries) for some features which isn't really possible with other networked RDBMs.

> How exactly is paper filing safer,

I never said "safer". Your concern was MITM/electronic eavesdropping. Paper avoids all the "electronic eavesdropping" possibilities and the fact that TurboTax (substitute your preferred commercial tax prep. software for "TurboTax") has all your tax data in their database. Although if you use TurboTax "online" version they have your tax data anyway, even if you print and file on paper.

Granted, once the IRS receives the paper, it will eventually be entered into their computer systems, at which point the current illegal access to sensitive data by unelected billionaire lackeys can occur regardless of how the return was filed, so the only angle to avoid that item is to delay filing in hopes that some court case blocks the illegal access from occurring before the deadline arrives. But there's no guarantee there, while the deadline is guaranteed to arrive.

The one item that filing on paper does provide, is a small "protest" as to the amount taken. Electronic is easier for the IRS (by some small measure). If they want that much of my income, I'm making it as hard on them as I can within what's legally allowed.
Your reaction is similar to mine. I was scratching my head when I read

I‘ve never built the same thing / received the same requirements twice, making estimation pointless.

Proper concurrency, and the ability to scale out your applications across multiple servers / nodes. I’ve never worked on any application that had only a single web server, and yes, most of my applications have had to scale out a few times under load— even the smaller ones. Doing this with Postgres is trivial. Doing this with SQLite requires engineering. I’m not scared of engineering. I just don’t think it’s warranted when you have such an obvious, tried and true off the shelf database like Postgres available to you.

I wonder how strong the driveshafts would have to be to handle all the braking torque transmitted through them. Dissipating the heat would also be an interesting problem. Also reduced clearance and/or increased drivetrain complexity and a million other things.

There are good reasons why people haven't moved away from old school rotors, pads & calipers right at the wheel hub, for basically any application.

It most definitely does not. Yes, you will lose foreign keys across silos. But this will usually be one association, like a user id for example.

You are also thinking of this defensively, "x value cannot exist here if it doesn't exist in y store". Just think how you'd access this, and you'll realize at worst this creates a void of data which your app likely handles anyway.

If there are numerous associations required across these silos. You don't have the right silos yet.

Lucas wrote (or cowrote) Apocalypse Now. Had long planned on directing it but Star Wars got in the way.

Chronic pain sufferer due to a career where I got beaten up and broken (military) and autoimmune conditions.

Counterintuitively, and for me, being more active helps. If I take a few days off because I'm lazy or tired I invariably get stiff and my pain ratchets up. Stretching twice a day is a huge help; I won't say how long as you have to come up with a routine that works for you. A massage every couple of months can help as well, as I often have spots getting bunched up that are pulling other things out of alignment.

As for treating it, I use non-THC CBD oil, Ibuprofen, and gabapentin when it gets really bad. My doc is currently discussing TNFi's with me for my AI stuff; we shall see if I pursue that.

I could only skim to verify an automated summary, but if the takeaway is "these AI giants are doomed" then he's right.

The future, probably within 10 years, is most tasks being handled by small on-portable-device models (7B parameters or so; see Apple's Intelligence thing), a middle ground of workhorse models (pushing closer to 30s and 70s) running on more capable ML-focused chips in laptops and workstations, and home and office servers for the biggest professional users running on dedicated servers.

And then there's the apps. Whoever makes the "Stripe for generative AI" with multiple models with different levels of data provenance, security, SLA, etc for different use cases tied together with support for custom fine tuning stands a good chance of sweeping the market post-collapse.

Your body generates glucose via gluconeogenesis on both high protein, and high fat diets. It generates it as a result of low glucose, as some tissues can only metabolize glucose. Glycerol from acylglycerides, as well as odd-numbered fatty acids can both precursor gluconeogenesis.

Blood sugar is also not the only thing that makes you feel hungry. The hunger mechanism is extraordinarily complicated, and still poorly understood. (For instance, low blood sugar triggers ghrelin release, which causes hunger directly). This sort of reductionist attitude that I frequently see applied to biology on HN is ineffective at best, harmful at worst. They are hundreds of more inputs and outputs to these processes, and what works for you is very unlikely to be for the reasons you think, and even more unlikely to work for others.

If these were simple problems, they'd be easily solved long ago.
