> Not really, Google has pushed the "relevancy customization" to it's extreme limit and the conclusion of this process is search results that are often just garbage.

> Not just in the filter bubble sense of keeping out any info that the targeted user might find unpleasant, but also in the sense that "we don't surface anything outside of very recent, very mainstream, large corporate sites" even when that's exactly what I don't want to sift through on a given search.

I think this is why many people perceive Google Search to be "better." Those people are mainly looking for mainstream topics on a small number of mainstream sites, and Google has heavily biased their algorithm in that direction.

> It's a real pain if you're trying to do research in a niche area or in an academic field that isn't hip and popular, if you're not in the 90% bracket of the distribution results for what people click on you just don't exist on Google anymore.

> This phenomena is most obvious when you're searching for something that you know still exists on the web, you can remember it being a top result years ago, but has now been effectively eliminated from the results because it's not sitting on the domain of a large corporation. Bing will still surface these sites, at least for now.

You can also try using DDG or Google Verbatim mode: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12045959. Though, IMHO DDG is about as good as Google Verbatim.

That is not necessary true. Look at aneutronic fusion for example.

As someone who's had his entirely legitimate, wholly none-spamming email accounts blacklisted (numerous times) because he used the same shared server as someone less than saintly, I can attest that this is actually a genuine and existant concern.

Sure, it's 'easy' to get around, by throwing more money and complexity at the problem, but it isn't some made up tale.
> I disagree. The defect is not that you can't kill these tasks, the defect is that the I/O wasn't terminated by a timeout somewhere in the kernel/driver.

Defects happen. This is sorta like saying you don't need ASLR because the real defect is that some code allows buffer overflows. Things don't always work perfectly and when they don't you still need tools to deal with it.

> You're free to design your own operating system without this limitation

Such an OSS response to criticism. This attitude is awful and a big part of the reason software sucks.

> It's not as if linux designers think "tasks holding resources that can't be killed by a sysadmin are a good thing" rather instead "letting tasks currently executing kernel code to be interrupted is a bad thing."

The problem is that they fail to recognize that there are potentially cases where even though it is a bad thing, it is still the least-bad option. It comes down to a fundamental philosophical disagreement, I guess. I think the computer belongs to the user and they should be able to do things even if they are dangerous as long as they acknowledge and accept that danger. But there is this -- unfortunately very prolific -- idea among developers out there that the computer belongs to them and users are beneath them, a lower life form incapable of making their own decisions that needs to have their hands tied.

If I were to already have the artifact files locally I wouldn't commit them in git and push to GitHub, I'd upload them straight to S3/Neocities/whatever. The whole point of Pages is to push some source material and have some CI/CD do the build and deploy.
I don't think the premise is flawed. If plants have a 60x range in input (as proxied by cost) per calorie provided, then animals can consume plants at the top end of that range and still provide more calories per input than plants at the low end. 60x is a huge range.

With regard to the methane from cows concern: just eat chicken or pork. Chicken is probably the most environmentally friendly meat (in terms of calories provided per input).
Option C. Work at a big mature company that gives RSUs, big fat salaries and signing bonus.

Don’t. Just don’t work for subpar salary. Assume your stocks are worthless, assume you’ll burn out in an year or two (most do). Will you still be content? Then do it. Don’t bank on the lottery.
Presumably you would then test the theory.

The browser is looked upon as the portal to the Internet.

When accessing web-sites over a public network, I sort of expect (not necessarily like or agree) to be tracked and others to know what I'm doing. I'm always in the mindset of "what ever I do within this window, others will see" (regardless of browser).

For what I do on my local desktop? No. Not at all.
Yeah. That is not actually true. Running something that produces nuclear waste for example already comes with a huge amount of regulatory issues.

Fusion has less hurdles then fission, but its still incredibly difficult to do.
Heathers was only barely a counterculture movie when it was released. It's a dark comedy that follows the 80s underdog vs bullies trope. I can't imagine how anything like it would ever be released in the repressive school shootings era and that's probably not a good thing.

I have found the following to be helpful:

- Suggest canceling the subscription.

- Suggest filing a complaint with the BBB.

- Specifically list prices offered by competitors, and switching to their offering. Sat., Cell,Cable,DSL,Dialup,WISP. Even if these aren't practical, you can use them to bargin. Just be polite, the person is most likely just trying to do their job. Some are allowed to offer better prices when you mention certain competitors.

Surprised slides.com wasn't mentioned yet, I've seen many software developers at conferences use this as their presentation tool.

https://slides.com/

(shameless plug) - Example slidedeck I made last week on "Userscripts and tampermonkey".

https://slides.com/vincentntang/userscripts-with-tampermonke...

From my experience, prezi is terrible. Transitions can make you sick if used incorrectly. Too many places to hide information. Making it difficult for both the presenter and user.

------------------------------------------------------------------

The reason I like slides.com:

0) Free tier is really good. I get 250 MB of storage. In one 10 min slide deck, I only used 3 MB. Meaning I could have a LOT of presentations before upgrading plans. You would want a paid tier starting off for private decks / offline decks

1) I get my own marketable endpoint name. https://slides.com/vincentntang

2) Slides.com is easy to remember for anyone looking at the URL to follow along

3) Slides lets you use ←→↑↓ arrows to change pacing of your slides. For instance, you might predict someone will ask you a question on a specific slide. Add a ↓ to have a digression branch. You can branch as much as you want to, in any direction you want. Plus get a snapshot overview of what the entire branch looks like. https://i.imgur.com/Jmm0qWs.png

4) Editing is simple. My first time using it, I had no intention of presenting. I literally made a 10 min presentation while sitting in someone else's 1 hour presentation. Hadn't ever used slides.com either

5) I can download an HTML export of those slides. The only exception is it doesn't download anything embedded as an iframe (e.g. codepen embeds), but its good to know that you can do offline presentations / have backups as needed.

That's from the gospel of the Libertarian Church of the Invisible Hand.

This approach doesn't work in the real world because Google's consumers are neither perfectly informed nor perfectly rational. It also ignores the fact that major corporations can enlist the help of the US government in maintaining and extending their de facto monopolies.
Don't get me wrong Gooveshark had possibly the best UI of all the streaming services but it was largely successful because all the content was pirated.
We’re not talking about the case of individual users. If you have a monopoly position in one market, you cannot unfairly use it to give you an advantage in another market.

Imagine if Google started delisting sites with Facebook Partner Network ads on them...

The ease of switching is completely irrelevant.
Different approaches work for different people. Personally I just went cold turkey but for a lot of people it's easier to set aside a day to try it. Whatever works for you is fine, of course. A lot of people find that, far from being miserable, they feel better and enjoy the food they're eating.

The lack of Categories beyond whats on the main page is the big issue I have. I want to find podcasts for my kids and there is no way to do that other than search - but that returns mostly adult podcasts ('how to talk to your kid about x', 'financial planning for expectant parents' kind of stuff)

That said, I'll check back later in the hopes that this improves over time.

A great start!
Hi! Thank you for the comment, I'm the writer on the article. When we did our training we actually needed the computer for months at a time. It takes 1-2 months to tune a model and we were running exps almost 24/7. So one project put us in the break even point to build.

Pianobar?
I think that some changes in traffic aim to optimize the instantaneous speed, while it should aim to minimize the door-to-door time. Driving 1km@10km/h takes 6 minutes, while driving 5km@30km/h takes 12 minutes, and you might end up driving 5km@1km/h at rush hour because the longer distance keeps you in traffic for more time.

This actually happened in my home city, some areas implemented "improvements" that made it very difficult to reach some destinations, you need to follow long detours intended to "improve flow", they might improve flow for whoever is just passing by, but traffic that originates or terminates in that area, it is hell.
At the limit, if you remove all capacity (or leave a nominal capacity for a single commuter that works beside their home to remove infinites), the individual transit time goes to zero! It follows we should remove all roads!!!

It seems to me that the average transit time is the wrong metric to optimize for.
The focus on veganism as an answer to environmental problems is absurd. Yes, beef is a huge problem, and it's not particularly healthy for you anyway. But cutting out eggs, chicken, honey, or dairy isn't going to make anywhere near the same amount of impact, and replacing calories with some plant products (like corn, soy, almonds, lettuce, or avocados) may even be worse for it.

Veganism is not any sort of reasonable answer to any environmental problems. Our environmental problems are a pricing problem...that goes for oil, suburban sprawl, overfarming, overfishing, excessive water usage, etc. Nobody is paying for their externalities, and no amount of voluntary diet restrictions for a race of omnivores will offset that. For example, once you cut out beef, the next best thing you can do for the environment is not to cut out pork or dairy, but to stop driving in a single occupancy vehicle. Proper pricing gives you that information, fundamentalist ideologies do not.
>"Nvidia contractually prohibits the use of GeForce and Titan cards in datacenters. So Amazon and other providers have to use the $8,500 datacenter version of the GPUs, and they have to charge a lot for renting it."

I wonder if someone might provide some clarification on this. Is this to say only if a reseller buys directly from Nvidia they are compelled by some agreement they signed with Nvidia? How else would this legal for Nvidia to dictate how and where someone is allowed to use their product? Thanks.

Eating camel dung for example helps with serious stomach infections, its old and well known Bedouin trick (tested by Wehrmacht soldiers in Africa during WWII).

Apart from parasites and bacteria shit could be beneficial in theory - as its full of minerals and could help to regenerate skin etc.
While, in sheer dollar amount this post is probably correct, it doesn't really scale.

At scale, you need more than just hardware. It's maintenance, racks, cooling, security, fire suppression etc. Oh, and the cost of replacing the GPUs when they die.

At full price, yes, cloud GPUs on AWS aren't cheap, but at potentially a 90% saving in some regions/AZs, the price of spot instances by bidding on unused capacity for ML tasks that can be split over multiple machines make using cloud servers a much more attractive prospect.

I think this post is conflating one physical machine to a fleet of virtualised ones, and that's not really a fair comparison.

Also, the post refers to cloud storage at $0.10/GB/month which is incorrect. AWS HDD storage is $0.025/GB/month and S3 storage is $0.023 which is arguably more suited to storing large data sets.
DDG sucks and hasn’t really improved at all. I’ve used it for a longtime but I use bangs endlessly. Unless you can provide some quantifiable metric to prove its “getting better” then it’s delusion getting the better of you.

DDG uses other search engines for results (such as bing), so unless you agree Bing is improving, it’s just a placebo.

DDG is only useful because we can all fall back on g!. It’s sad but true. There is still no substitution for Google search.
You don't need academic knowledge of anatomy if you grow up in a culture (that of medieval peasants) where hunting, cleaning, and cooking animals was likely common. Much can be inferred from analogy, in the way the non-human dissections were (and still are) used for training surgeons.

I haven't had a chance to rant about this in a while, so, I'll warn you that a rant is ahead.

I get the sense that the pendulum is going to start swinging back again soon. The media companies have almost won control again, and they're going to repeat the same mistakes that they made before. The difference now is that they have the internet under fuller control. PirateBay, Grooveshark, Limewire, Napster. Those are the music distribution channels that I grew up with because the media companies squeezed too hard. I'm happy to pay for music, but I'm not happy to pay 5 different subscriptions to listen to a small amount of their libraries. When I buy music, I want it to be mine. I don't want to have access to someone else's music. It's my collection. My impression is that people haven't realized this yet, but they will.

Soundcloud is a zombie - effectively dead. They abandoned their business model so they could grow more, and ceded power to the large record labels.

Try looking for Jay-Z's "The Blueprint" on Spotify.

How many people do you know who have a Deezer account?

SiriusXM's acquisition of Pandora is like Verizon's acquisition of AOL. They're grabbing the long tail of users and platform integrations so that they have the negotiating power with Universal, WB, and Sony to push out the same music that our parents (and now, even their parents) listened to.

I, for one, welcome the consolidation. The harder you lock the sidewalks down, the richer the underground becomes. And the underground is where creativity thrives.

The solutions to illegally acquired music will have different technical implementations, but the same effect (ipv6 feels like it will be necessary in this), and my suspicion is that we'll start heading back that way in the next few years.
For a Java program, just gather the "import" declarations from every single source file. Consolidate those into a single file, removing duplicates, sort them.

You now have a list of everything used by your program. Remove all of the internal imports. That is imports from other parts of your own software. (Hint: this is easy since they are sorted by package name.)

Now you have a list of all third party software used.

I suspect this same procedure works for C / C++ / Python and probably other languages.

You don't have to give anyone your source code to discover what third party and open source software you are using.

I find you have to train yourself to use DDG a bit. For example when I'm searching something JavaScript-centric but is a language agnostic concept, I have to prefix it with "javascript" whereas Google can already guess the context. On the plus side It helps you stay aware of the world outside your own! I find DDG's hashbangs incredible useful e.g. `!bi whales` (bing image search: whale) when it doesn't deliver.
That's sort of like saying you don't have a hand, just a palm and some fingers.

This thought is why for a long time, Programming 101 at my alma mater (ETH Zurich) was taught in Eiffel. Obscure, but strongly opinionated towards OOP by way of strongly enforcing the paradigm.

OP here - I agree with this. If you're at an Ivy the banks and consulting firms come to you, then it's just a matter of 1) studying the basic interview questions and being able to speak semi-intelligently about financial topics and 2) interviewing a ton until you find a firm with people similar to you and like your personality.

I left because I was depressed during the job and realized I wanted work with fewer hours that was more intellectually challenging. I saw people 2-3 years ahead of me in their careers leaving for startups and thought I'd skip the 2 years of misery and do that straight away.

One of my favorite episodes, honestly.
This is fascinating. The book Traffic [1] talks a great deal about how adding road capacity (e.g. more lanes) can result in zero change in congestion because more people choose to take more trips.

But this paradox appears to hold traffic constant, and uses game theory to show how more connections (not lanes) can result in worse congestion too.

It really is amazing how something as simple-seeming as roads and traffic, where it feels like simple common sense ought to apply, winds up being so deeply and fundamentally counter-intuitive.
