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 b

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 th

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

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. I

Thanks. Wonderful take and optimistic. You are correct I think.

You can use it with tanka or kubecfg, argo and flux also have native support. You can also just render yaml and use kubectl apply

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 Engl

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

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

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 c

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

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&#x27

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 th

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 wit

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

As a German I would love to contradict this but I tend to agree. Bureaucracy isn't such a big deal in my experience - might be different depending what area you are working in - but the leadership culture regarding software is the caus

It's this attitude that is common in Europe, at least in Germany that is the reason we are so behind. Worked for so many companies that just wrapped some open-source and sold it. Never worked well, nobody understood how it worked. No m

It would be a just a hefty fee for most EU companies and not much more. From what I've seen Azure is pretty popular in most bigger companies and smaller shops and websites use often AWS or Google cloud. Microsoft Windows and Office is

I agree and I'd like to know what's your take on the Fira font family? I've configured my desktop and browser to use this font and now I can't go back. Subjectively I kind of developed a little crush on that font and I&#

EU tariffs for goods from the USA vary but based on trade volume it's effectively 1.3%. Setting a 20% tariff for all EU imports is a huge novelty unknown in recent decades. There have been higher tariffs for certain products to protect

Fair point. Very different people from very different background here in the masters in comparison to the bachelors. Also 15 years between both experiences. Maybe I'm just getting old and start to yell at imaginary clouds. Thanks for t

It's creating devastating effects in higher education here. I'm a bit older but did a masters after working a few years and I've now decided to quit because most - if not all - students just upload the sheets to an llm and co

I've also found hardware support lacking. In my case SATA controller threw errors on FreeBSD and worked fine in Linux. It's something that's impossible for FreeBSD through because Linux has much more drivers, testers and eyes
