you don't need an app for that anymore

your dot or muse will happily do it for you and in fact even send you a notification about it right on your phone


I think the system is more fragile than that. Infra providers even now have to raise money with junk rates meaning that are entering a debt spiral. If that compute doesn't come online because the infra providers are bankrupt Anthropic/Open ai can't hit their growth projections and Nvidia sales will drop as well.

And I am not even speculating if the growth/revenue projections are realistic in the first place, which, if not, would be another trigger


Well what did you and them do after "getting rich"?

That helps us decide whether there is some purpose and meaning to the entire story about the system.


What else is on your hot list?


The FOMO argument is exactly what was used by banks in GFC: as long as the music is playing need to dance.

But current era also has echoes of capex financing (eg cisco lending to its buyers) and Enron (eg use of SPVs).

I don’t think that most people who are concerned about a bubble think people and orgs fueling it are stupid, but they’re operating with local incentive structures that can result is systematic problems.

And for folks who have lived through multiple of these (and maybe lost paper wealth, retirement savings, or homes), I think being concerned is reasonable.

Hard won lessons and all that.


There is a tension limit of 28 newtons on any single line. Beyond that, the motors release with a damped motion. This can be lowered, at the expense of payload capacity.


"there are never fewer than 4 eyes on the ballot box" doesn't seem too complex to me


Yes - I wrote some public posts, and a Medium article which I forgot about until just now: https://anonymousdata.medium.com/postman-is-logging-all-your...

My main point was that I wouldn't want my secrets to ever be sent to Postman under any circumstance (or alternately, stop calling them "secret"). A lot of the online responses were some variation of "why are you sending secrets in query parameters in the first place?" (I'm not). When I posted on Reddit, it escalated to targeted harassment by people who were obviously current/former employees at Postman.

I did send out an email blast to a bunch of CIOs/CSOs in my network which went a bit "email viral" through forwarding, and this ended up triggering a substantial amount of enterprise cancellations.


It's cooking something a lot smarter than you it seems


lol thank you friend :D


No, After a few minutes of dark mode, I get essentially zebra stripe like migraines.


From the wording of the parent comment my understanding is that 24 hour period applies to the MacOS VM, not the hardware itself. Since they split each physical host into at least 2 different VMs the 24 hour period is for that VM. Even stronger case if they also lock the core affinity to the physical layout like Max editions having multiple Pro chips/dies within...

For Amazon EC2 the case is different since it doesn't allow VMs but only possible to get dedicated bare-metal hosts. Obviously Amazon could offer VMs but they would not because the current way allows them to charge 24 hours even if user uses the host only 1 hour. And obviously no body big enough challenging the status quo and impacting AWS' revenue hard enough.


there are a lot of design choices which Hacker News does not support ;)


i think this is wrong-headed: it seems to be a movement to rebuild open-source bundles based on existing closed-source saas, but AI will precipitate an "unbundling" of existing saas feature sets according to the needs of individuals.

if i'm only using 20% of the features of a saas service, i don't need a bundle that reimplements 100% of it.


Is there any reason at all to date these men, other then money? Cause it seems to me that "no" and I cant wait till they complain women want then only for their money.


To be fair, that's a pebkac problem. You got exactly what you requested (and the language was unambiguous).

This is like writing `if (cond_x && cond_y) {}` and then blaming the compiler because it didn't realise that actually meant to write `if (cond_x || cond_y) {}`.


That’s a bad move from Google because if there is really one place where you can get rid of Google search, it’s at school.

Students don’t really carre if their school computer use DuckDuckGo or Google.

And if you can even open student eyes on Google alternative, that’s a great thing.

They are shooting themselves in the foot, and I’m glad they are doing it.


Are you going to bring up the point where you spent 10-15% of your income on clothing back then. A worthwhile trade was made.


I'd prefer dark mode because then I notice my eye floaters much less when reading.


Personally I'm excited for this on iOS—I find that reading boring stuff in dark mode at minimum brightness on my phone is easily the most effective way for me to fall asleep (contrary to the blue light/no phones in bed advice). With an OLED screen the amount of light emitted is so much lower than any alternative I've tried. For sites like HN (some threads on HN are pretty boring) that don't have a native dark mode, my solution has been setting up the "Accessibility Shortcut" feature to invert the colors on the screen. Three clicks on the lock button and the page inverts. It works okay, but it requires manual intervention for each site depending on whether it supports dark mode.


It makes me so angry that they named the CSS function `light-dark` instead of leaving the door open to allowing generic user- or site-specified color schemes. I mean it was right there in all the other mechanisms around this feature, they just had to read and think about why these are structured the way they are, and why "light" and "dark" were always values and not keywords in all of these..:

    - <meta name="color-scheme" content="light dark">
    
    - :root { color-scheme: light dark }

    - @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) { }

    - <picture><source media="(prefers-color-scheme: dark)">

    - light-dark()

Did they not look at the prior art and notice that "one of these things is not like the other?" All the other pieces of this puzzle, conceivably, could have one day had something like `:root { color-scheme: halloween }` or `@media (prefers-color-scheme: supercontrast)` but no, we're just going to cement `light-dark()` as the only two possible color schemes we'd ever want to switch between forever.




Hah, I just paid for an addon to do this, Noir. Sure you could do it for free but it's a nice experience. Oh well, no harm done.


How is this related?


Do you SMELlLlLlLlLLLLLLLlLLLLLllLlLLL what super intelligence... is cooking?


Does this thinking apply to tech's VR bet, for example?


The latest Jepsen report on particledb triggered a new found interest in the SSI implementation in postgres.

If you are just skimming this doc, The HoT update path is the section I would jump to.

Understand HoT and then read the zHeap implementation notes (also of TOAST) puts a good mental model of what postgres does and what it doesn't do.


No, that's why the trial was invented.
