Hey I Love Scuttlebutt, I am actually writing a client for it. But I don't think the objective here is privacy. If I follow you on ssb, I will start replicating your feed (unless you block me), and all you post publicly will be in my own HD which I could use to generate some "intelligence". There are no incentives in ssb for those marketing type actions we see on FB and Twitter but we can still mine it. Of course your private communication is private, but the public feed is very public.
Twitter could start at home by doing something about the sewer that is "Moments". It ignores words in the "muted" list; it's full of celebrity crap and the sort of click-bait stuff I loathe.

The whole thing seems to set the tone for the sort of garbage that they talk about wanting to eliminate.
You might consider turning on "Tap to click" in your Trackpad settings. Instead of pressing anything, you can just lightly tap a finger anywhere on the pad to send a click. There's another option for a two-fingered tap to count as a right-click.
censorship basically allowed for trolls, memelords, bots, eggs and shitposters to thrive because of how they censored wrong-thinkers willing to have a rational discussion. only those who have nothing to lose are left in the conversation.
You can protect pages on most flash devices (e.g. internal microcontroller storage). Lock the bootloader and factory reset image, so you can still update the running firmware, but also have a way to recover from any scenario with a hardware button or sufficiently clever watchdog.
Those intern positions are usually for university students, and as a highschooler, they're already sort of punching above my weight :)

Internship positions should have "INTERNS" in their comment header, so it should be relatively easy for OP to allow filtering by intern spots (maybe in the full time/part time/freelance dropdown?)
Great idea, and something we’re considering for future batches. We may even do it this batch, depending on the final mix.
Are you planning to open source it?

A lot of your competitors have, like http://pipeline.ai/, https://github.com/pachyderm/pachyderm and recently https://github.com/polyaxon/polyaxon.
Yeah that depends a lot on what you're mad about wrt pharma. I was referencing the generic high price of drugs issue. They're definitely doing actually illegal things for sure.

> With cloth, you rinse it out and the majority of the gross stuff is down the drain. With disposables, you end up with a garbage can literally full of poop.

Worth pointing out that just because you use disposables doesn't mean you can't rinse it out / dump into a toilet. We used cloth for 8 months and then transitioned to a daycare that wouldn't let us use them. I still dump all solids into the toilet because I don't want my baby's room to smell like poop 24/7.

Also, if you read the box, most diapers will instruct you that you are supposed to do this, as human waste doesn't belong in landfills.
The iron law of the internet is that, in the absence of constant high-quality moderation, all discourse eventually becomes toxic. This has been true since the days of usenet.
Culture Becoming Bigger Issue as DevOps Goes Mainstream
I was born Jewish and was pretty religious for most of my life, but even when I was religious I never understood why we should be proud of this, or why this is a good thing in and of itself.

I would be really interested if you could explain more your way of thinking about it, because to me when my father explains that we should be proud of having the same meal our ancestors did Xthousand years ago I don't feel impressed in the least.

Instead, it just feels like a long streak of spreading a meme.

People often get surprised when I tell them I don't consider myself Jewish anymore or that I don't intend to bring up any children I have Jewish. They often cite their surprise to the fact that Judaism has a long ancestral history. And I really just can't understand this frame of thinking that says Judaism is good because it's been going on for long.

So I would be interested if you could explain why this impresses you :)

Exactly. I just let other people obsess over news. They’ll filter through the 99% garbage and I’ll pick up whatever is actually important through them.

I know people in my family whose eyes are glued to news all the time and it’s kind of sad. Blowing all that attention on stuff that ultimately does not affect you.

Committees in anarchism are more like the PTA, band boosters, rotary club, or your HOA--everything that has no statutory authority, and no power to tax. They form whenever someone thinks it might be even worse to not have one, everyone hates attending the meetings, and they are almost entirely dependent on one to five people devoting too much of their own energy to holding it all together. There might be a contract in place, and it might mandate that dues be paid.

In lieu of mandatory dues, they will always be strapped for cash and either begging for donations or coming up with annoying fundraiser ideas. They might fork, and one or both parts of the fork will fail, because some of the critical support went to the other part of the fork.

And some of them will actually be more like organized crime families or street gangs than the PTA.

In other words, anarchy is happening right now, and you can see how it works right now. A bunch of crazies devoted to renegade pothole repair is a perfect example. They come together because of potholes. They fix potholes. People pay attention to them as long as they care about potholes. When the pothole problem is fixed, everyone forgets they ever existed, then stop paying attention and giving money. They either drift away to find something else to do, or become the lonely, ignored crusaders against potholes that people remember hearing about that one time, but had no idea they were still around and still fixing potholes.

It doesn't scale, though. Anarchy can only exist at the local level because governments tackle many of the big problems and force people to pay for the solutions with taxes. Imagine if your city government operated like the mafia (Chicago!), or if your state government operated like a giant PTA meeting. It might get as far as agreeing to set a budget of $500 for the spring graduation party before removing someone from the gallery for shouting about invading foreign armies, and would still be answering stupid questions about the dress code for service dogs when the soldiers started dragging everyone out.

Mr. Humungus (a reasonable feller) is president of the Juicetakers Committee, Toecutter vice president, Feral Kid as secretary, Gyropilot as treasurer, and someone that looks exactly like your Mom covered in warpaint as the member-at-large. The president has advanced a proposal that you just walk away and give us your juice. We took a vote, and it passed unanimously. We are also selling cookie dough as part of our fall fundraiser. So give us the juice, and please buy some cookies on your way out into the desert.

I'd prefer it if they were shooting guns at me.

I completely agree with you, personally I am burned out by social networking. Snapchat, LinkedIn, Instagram are all gone, Facebook I barely use anymore. They offer so little and come with huge costs.
The system needs to be able to look more than 30 feet ahead. 30 feet of faded lines shouldn't affect it so much that it leaves the lane and collides with a clearly visible wall. What's it going to do in snow? Or in low-light conditions with a blown headlight?

At the very least, the system should slow down significantly and warn the driver if there's not high confidence in where it should be going.

Being able to include arbitrary data inside a static binary is definitely a nice side-effect of rust and golang being able to produce static binaries.

If you're interested in stuff like this for go, I've used https://github.com/GeertJohan/go.rice with great success.

[EDIT]

"feature" -> "side effect"

"rust and golang" -> "rust and golang being able to produce static binaries"
I have been anxiously waiting for something like this! Very excited to try it out.

How does it handle data storage? Could we use CometML to store our continuously growing set of labeled data or is there a smart way to link it to Google Cloud Platform?
That's a great point! Machine Learning reproducibility is a huge problem, both in Academia and within companies. Comet.ml tracks every run of your script, the hyper-params (pulled automatically from the ML library when possible) and your results. So in the example you gave we would be able to track the DS loading pre-trained weights, manually changing hyperparams and the datasets hash.

In such complex cases there's still a little discipline required on the user behalf but overall it's just including a few calls to our Experiment object.
Sending birthday wishes and condolences via Facebook seems more like an insult to me than "necessary stuff". If you give a fuck about someone, you'll make some kind of actual effort for such events.

Doesn't Facebook "remind" people to wish their "friends" a happy birthday? That kind of changes the meaning of those birthday wishes from "these people were thinking about me" to "these people clicked a button because an advertising corporation told them to".

As for condolences, the idea of deaths and other bad events increasing "engagement" (and therefore ad exposure and profit) for Facebook should make all involved feel dirty.
I've seen people referring to CockroachLabs referring to it as CRDB internally.
Can't wash them in laundromats that don't allow them, and you have to have the money for the initial purchase plus the time to do the laundry. Plus you cannot use cloth diapers at daycare.
3 kids, all been in cloth / reusable nappies. We were not militant strict. Used dispoable for night due to extra absorption. But day time use, pretty much only reusable.

Anecdotal of course, but they all were toilet trained before other kids. Whether that is because it is more noticeable the nappy is wet and uncomfortable or other factors (wife was home all the time, kids in a nursery from a young age all day seemed to lag further behind). But I think the cloth nappies definitely played a part.

Let this be a lesson to others, the more censorship and the more draconic your allowed speech rules are, the worse you're off. The quality of overall discussion is negatively correlated with the amount of censorship.

Agreed. I'll add that my main issue with Patchwork is that from what I can tell it's pretty much impossible to develop for it without using Node.js. I really think that for this to take off, it needs to focus on 'developer happiness' right now. There's a solid client, a relatively vibrant and activist community, but too little in the way of (relatively) inexperienced devs like myself to build apps on top of.

this is especially problematic because the Patchwork client, while impressive, is not something I enjoy using. I'm just itching to build my own alternative clients, as well as apps that run on the SSB protocol, but I can't unless I force myself to get back into the Node ecosystem.

Another crucial issue, I find, is the inability to have multiple devices linked (by whatever means) to the same user. The impression I get is that the community is split on either fixing that, or adding more tools to deal with community management. I find that worrying because I've had multiple experiences with communities where ~50% was overly focused on 'preserving what is', and none of those experiences ended up in any kind of success.

For the time being I'm still excited about Patchwork, and looking for ways to positively contribute (contrary to this post), but I get too much of a 'sixties imploding commune' vibe to feel comfortable wasting my energy, for now.

EDIT: all this sounds somewhat negative, and my apologies for that. But I got and am really excited about the core proposition of the whole thing and just worry a lot about its viability. I'd really love to hear where I'm wrong, or how I could contribute without having to deal with the community kerfuffles that I am not too interested in. It's like CouchSurfing in reverse.
> There really isn't anything nefarious in trying to find a good case to set precedent

Far enough, however the FBI's argument was that they needed a backdoor to get into phones like this, when it turns out that they didn't need the back door at all, and not only did they purchase a "crack" to open the phone, they also had Apple's help and could have gotten the information they needed using the tools they already had at their disposal.

As I read it, this is not about finding a nice court case, it's about misleading the courts with the respect to the necessity of the back door. In other words, they weren't finding a sympathetic case, they were manufacturing it.
Hi, thanks for your reply. Yes, sorry for sounding a bit cynical, I will take a look at what you do in more detail, but the sponsors of this venture surely want some return? My, as yet uneducated, layman outsiders guess as to what that return may be would be some IP, derived from these projects? Kind of like growing a tree for birds to lay eggs in and then shaking it to see what drops out. No offense intended. Cheers
Ahh I forgot about zero instruction set computing. Maybe CISC should just stand for Compressed Instruction Stream Computing because on today's chips that's exactly what it is.

Cache hit-rates being similar may just show that the ad-hoc evolved compression codecs represented by CISC instruction sets are sub-optimal, hence my point about what might happen if we intentionally designed a CPU with on-board compression codec support for the instruction stream.

That's not a fact that the recipients are users that signed up for it. As someone with a first letter + last name @ gmail account, I can't tell you how many transactional emails I get for things I never signed up for. Try getting a bank to take your email address off of someone else's account—damn near impossible.

FWIW, CF Workers do support proxying of WebSockets (e.g. with URL and header rewrites), and termination of WebSockets is on the road map.

Normally webservers serve files with the sendfile system call for zero copy IO. If the string is statically included in the binary then it first has to copy it into kernel space to send the data. So this is actually less efficient.

In theory this could be re-optimized with vmsplice, but I wonder whether that webserver actually does it because vmsplice's lifetime requirements are... complex (although a &'static str would meet those requirements). Or the binary could sendfile itself if it knew the position of the string in its binary image, but that information is not preserved by a &str.

For me, twitter is the least toxic and 'monstrous' of all social platforms that I've been on.

I'd say the trend of articles on news sites using hyperbole and inflammatory language in every other headline to bait people into clicking is a far more serious issue. People on twitter do as they please - journalists need a hard look in the mirror before throwing stones at entire platforms.
The environmental factor is also pretty huge. Store a weeks worth of disposables separate and the amount of landfill over the course nappy period of a baby is insane!
Them. Unfortunately, a single person has very little ability to impact his or her government. That, combined with the observed fact that the goal of any government organization eventually becomes the perpetuation of that organization, is why the answer to your question cannot be "both".

> This was also the case with TV's. Where one family in the street would own a TV and all the neighbourhood kids would come and gather to watch.

I'm old enough to have experienced something similar. When I was young my dad won a color TV in a sales contest. I think it was the first in our neighborhood and was the first in our extended family. Every Sunday evening my grandfather would come over and bring desert and we would gather as a family and watch Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color. As we got older, my siblings and I would beg to be permitted to stay up and watch Bonanza. Good times!
Thanks! We indeed solve a similar pain point as Domino but we unlike them we allow you to train your models on your own infra/laptop.

Have done several sites in this exact fashion, except coded in Nim, not Rust. A reasonably sized, musl-linked, absolutely standalone executable with SQLite baked in for data storage.

Which is precisely why we’re not making decisions based on that test for now. We’re just experimenting with it to see what data we get. We’re still going to grade applications manually for now.

We’re trying not to fall into the “just IQ” trap, but learn the broader picture of what makes great Fellows great.
I hear this argument a lot, and let me just make one point:

Human nature is really shapeable — and we (as a former product manager in this space) designed algorithms and product experiences to maximize certain outcomes that benefit social network bottom lines. Regardless of how good or bad human nature is, the algorithms prize engagement however they can get it — I personally believe it surfaces a certain side of humanity, and pushes people in a certain direction.

If you're a news editor, you actually have a choice to sensationalize all day because it maximizes short-term profits. After bad things happened (see yellow journalism, the newspaper circulation wars) — newspapers did cut back a fair bit. (We can debate whether that was the risk of regulation, or their own respect for the role they had)

This clearly isn't the social networks' fault alone, but their product choices do partially influence on how we all behave. On HN, you hear a lot of anger at journalists for being so click-baity, and the sad part is that every incentive many journalists face encourages this (from user behavior to profit)

There are tons of examples how bad incentives can warp how people behave, far beyond "humanity is good" or "humanity is bad". For example, see Hannah Arendt's Banality of Evil or the Stanford Prison Experiment. More regularly, see architecture, urban planning, or product management in the Valley, as disciplines that think deeply about the outcomes they want to encourage.

A more accurate statement I would say is: humanity has certain predilections, and design choices can influence these dramatically.
