It's crazy reading these comments here. We are really living in some dystopian future to some degree. Let's unite and fight. Act local, do what you can and don't lose hope. The Internet is broken. Not sure if it's just brainwashed people commenting here or bots or some societies just embrace destroying everything for profit and capitalism.
1. You can't bend physics and the known solutions don't work out in scale. It's magical thinking to continue doing what we are doing.
2. We can already fix this but for this we need to radically change the power structures that are in place and figure out a way to peacefully solve the problem. Reducing emissions should be the biggest priority everywhere.
We know what to do. We don't need to wait for some magic AI that's basically learned from books written by humans to tell us what to do. It's all about power structures, capitalism and money.
Everyone in the oil business knew in the 80ies.
We could probably even figure out how to keep our standard of living but consumerism needs to stop but then capitalism breaks down.
1. No we can't - at least not enough that it matters and it's energy intensive. There is no technical solution here but the powers that be want you to believe that to continue generating profits.
2. That's not how it works. It's more like a greenhouse and climate gases absorb more energy. Also look up after how many meters a steel cable ruptures under it's own weight. It's not exactly easy. Thermonuclear war might help.
Ah I see. I disagree because it's impossible. Even the next village or town has a different language even if it's subtle. I'm more for embracing the differences.
On the other hand we are probably almost there - it's English and social media is the global teacher.
This (ragebaity/ai?) post kind of mixes things up. Kubernetes is fine I think but almost everything around it and the whole consulting business is the problem. You can build a single binary, use a single layer oci container and run it with a single config map with memory quota on 30 machines just fine.
Take a look at the early borg papers what problem does it solves. Helm is just insane but you can use jsonnet that is modelled after Google's internal system.
Only use the minimal subset and have an application that is actually build to work fine in that subset.
I think you misunderstood my post. It's wonderful technology and a great aid. I just wanted to say there is so much more to learning a foreign language (and culture) than machine translation - even if almost perfect. At least that was my take away from learning Czech as a German. Lot's of subtle details.
It's not personal but I can't help myself to think that's such a sad post here. Reducing learning a different culture through language by plugging in an earbud. Is the battery is gone or your phone is stolen you realize you can't automate anything and that you've learned nothing. It's not about the tech if it works it's amazing it's like babelfish but it's so shallow to assume everything has some direct and simple "value" that can be replaced by some machine or even better some paid service. It's so common here. Is this an US thing?
I concur. Doing this for almost all my technical equipment and mobile phones and never had a problem. For important/expensive things you can buy on refurbished stores that offer a 1-year warranty in EU.
It's not only public facing websites - Azure is also pretty inconsistent and lately any offer to preview a new UI was a downgrade and I happily reverted back - it's like they have a mandatory font and whitespace randomizer for any product. Also while far from a power user I've hit glitches that caused support tickets and are avoidable with clearer UX. Copilot in Azure - if it works at all - has been pretty useless.
You are not alone. Joined a company with a rails codebase and I really came to hate convention over configuration if you are not familiar with the convention. I've found Ruby on Roda and dry-rb much more understandable. I guess it's really a matter of taste. I've did C++ and Java before and while I appreciate Ruby rails is too much magic for me. I also hate to run into errors in runtime that a typed language would have catched.
I'm in my 40ies and in Germany and basically from my friends and surroundings I've realized the only people that have children are academics / people with established careers where both partners earn very well and have stable jobs or people on welfare where at least all necessities are covered. What's missing is people in-between, people with limited contracts, people without money in the family and people working a job that hardly pays more than what you would get with welfare.
If you look at birth rates in eastern europe after the fall of the soviet union and the establishment of neoliberal economics everwhere and the development of eastern europe economies as workbenches for western corporations with low wages the birth rates fell and are only slowly recovering now.
Before that - while circumstances where surely not better in a lot of ways - essentials like housing, childcare (kindergarden and so on) where provided and you could be assured to be fine no matter what is going on in your job.
Now you are only fine if you either on welfare and have nothing to loose anyway or earn so much that you can afford everything and risk having children. If you are in between (like most of the population around 20-40 here) it's perceived as a risky gamble.
I hate the nextcloud ux with a passion and I'm running multiple instances for company and non-profits. Especially their calendar app makes we want to delete that thing every time I have to use it.
If you leave the beaten path it tends to break.
It's free and it feels wrong to complain but it's not good software IMHO.
What is the HN opinion on Tesla skipping lidar? Having spent some time with computer vision in university I think it's insane to skip it - sure stereo reconstruction is powerful but lighting conditions have such an impact on results that having some robust depth data feels like a no-brainer and skipping it feels like malignant neglect.
I think you (or me, please correct me if that's the case) misunderstood something here - this is a diy lidar scanner for data acquisition - these datasets are mostly created using rgba cameras and the point clouds are later created with some post processing step.
So it's not a model for processing data but rather a hardware hack for having a real lidar - as in real depth data.
It still works without any blockchain and there are dockerfiles and images for using it with CLI only on github. It's closed source through and the UI was a forked version of VLC - it's also been suspected to spread malware - CLI tools look fine through but who knows.
Surprisingly the channels that are available work really well if you just use the mpegts stream.
In a past life I've added a few channels to a tvheadend instance on a VPS. It reliable crashed Kodi watching some channels and I've wondered if it's just broken streams or something more interesting is going on.
If you open the ports and watch popular channels it's easily saturating bandwidth - there is no limit.
I've since stopped using it it's the kind of thing that breaks not often enough to be not useless but often enough to be annoying.
It's IPv4 only and seems to use it's own tracker or at least calls to some URLs for initial peer discovery.
Building something similar as true open source would be great but I guess the usecase is mostly illegal streaming.
Be careful - it's attempting to use upnp to open ports on the router and even if just looking through the lists makes you upload fragments.
Still fascinating tool. It's getting to close to what op is looking for but I think it has scalability issues and everything about it is kind of shady and opaque.
