Show HN: That time I used a simple ML algorithm to classify deforested areas
I don’t think it’s searching for things that’s the problem, it’s creating things of value. There’s no reason to create a great piece of content if no one sees it. To get people to see it you need to fill it with fluff for google.
I don't know what's the name of this phenomenon but it reminds me of bass-boosted stereos and over-saturated TV screens. Objectively, from a signal processing theory standpoint, it's not superior to a properly calibrated monitor. But subjectively it seems that we collectively like it when dynamics get crushed to loony-tunes levels.

I feel like HTML email is the same way. People think they want it, but in my experience it's an absolutely abysmal experience. Ever been forwarded one of these corporate-type emails where people reply all over the place, each using their own convention of color and typesetting and emphasis markers, with bits of "rich text" signatures and images littered throughout? That's a bloody terrible experience.

Not that plain text email can't be messy, but it's really a situation where less is more. People have to be a little more careful with what they're doing instead of saying "I'll just write this in neon pink and they'll get it".

As for marketing campaigns then yes, I grant you that you can make much more compelling content with more advanced technology but as far as I'm concerned that's cancer so I don't really care about that. I don't really get why anybody would opt into receiving what's effectively spam into their mailbox although maybe I'm wrong about that.
The problem with associating the skinhead haircut with skinheads is, it's also associated with balding men who would rather not fight the inevitable and look sad trying =P
With an older programmer you have "survivorship bias", meaning the incompetent and not useful have left the profession by then.
Less JavaScript bloat, I think. AMP is mostly static content.

Plain HTML and one CSS file (read: one, not five, not ten CSS files) minus the JavaScript bloat would also load insanely fast. It doesn't have to be AMP.

Try the basic HTML verson of Gmail -- it loads about 5-10X faster than the AJAX version.

Wikipedia is basically an information search engine without commerce or social media.

The problem is that your results page is the article itself, and you need to scroll to the bottom to get to an external site.

It's theoretically possible to change the UI or analyze Wikipedia to make a pretty solid search engine powered by millions of person-years of curation.
> An downvote should not mean "I disagree with this author" but rather "this site was useless spam"

How would you tell them apart? If you could identify abusive site formats mechanically anyway why even solicit votes?
If it requires so little talent why in 2019 is the quality a lot of websites so poor?

some examples is why do sites still misuse H tags or have problems like creating a simple xml site map that handles escaping characters when required
Imagine someone calling your grandparents on the phone with your deepfaked voice crying and saying you've been kidnapped and need $10,000 to come back home.
Seems like the author is arguing that when FPGAs are used for "computation" and not for prototyping or replacing ASICs for low volume production, there should be an ISA to abstract the gory details like in GPUs/CPUs, and Verilog is not an adequate abstraction in that regard because it's more like a programming language.

Now, I may misinterpret the author's argument, but I don't understand the obsession over ISAs. It's a bit short sighted IMHO and, I agree with you, HDLs may not be elegant or pretty but they do their job just fine, ie. low level modeling at the primitive level. They are not programming languages.

I also don't see how vendor locking fits with the rest of the narrative. Whatever intermediate abstraction the vendors offer (the author gives no examples which makes the post read more like a rant) it still won't expose the inner workings which (unlike CPUs/GPUs) are crucial for truly open FPGA development.

Now should we strive for a better alternative, an evolution to FPGAs that benefit from an "ISA" type of abstraction? I'm not smart enough to visualize it, but sure why not. An example would be nice though

>don't you agree that in such cases the problem is not "our desire to exploit resources" but the corrupt government

No I do not agree, but probably not for the reason you think.

The all-too-human temptation to identify "the (singular) problem" (or the person/group 'to blame') isn't educational here. Regulatory capture is a whole-system problem, not a failure of a single component.

If you remove all the people from the government and replace them with new people, that won't somehow fix it. The new people will be constrained to act in the same way as the old people, by the same economic and societal forces.

>of course the attitude of "dig up everything" is stupid, but "do not touch anything, it will have unknown consequences" is not better.

Indeed, who would disagree? No need to exclude the reasonable middle ground though.

Precaution should not limitless ("do not touch anything"), but it should not be zero either. If we haven't studied the unknown consequences at all, maybe we should do that first.

I switched to Firefox a few weeks ago after becoming totally sick of mobile Chrome lagging out and sometimes crashing any time I tried to load a sufficiently complex website. Like if I scroll liquipedia on chrome it just dies. If I try to comment on a hacker news page with a ton of comments it takes 3 seconds for each letter I type to appear.

Yet somehow mobile Firefox works just completely fine on these pages and more.

I have a Motorola G5 so yes a budget phone. But still. It shouldn't be this terrible on chrome. I don't get what's failing so badly.
For many topics I now go straight to search Reddit. It avoids all those articles that SEO the shit out of a topic where I was just looking for a two sentence answer.

Edit: I'm often surprised how search engines fail to exclude obvious SEO farms. Especially looking at articles about stock, you frequently just find a ocean of what send to be clearly autogenerated articles.
Commerce -> revenues -> viable businesses -> sustainable jobs -> peaceful livelihood prospects.

No commerce -> no jobs -> unrest -> violence and wars (citation: centuries of human history).

Maybe, commerce is the nail which constrains humanity both in a good and a bad sense - by providing a peaceful alternative to violent lifestyles and by creating a consumerist culture?
"Ecoterrorists" is actually pretty accurate term for all Greenpeace activists, that break and enter various industiral complexes, or chain themselves to oil rigs, etc. My personal favourite was recent event in Poland, when they "set free" minks from a farm, not realizing that they have no chance of surviving in the wild, effectively killing them.

I really do not understand why such a schemy organization as Greenpeace is even allowed to legally exist. Should be declared to be an organized crime syndicate a long time ago.

This is just the flip side of what was at the time a revolutionary search strategy: prior to Google search results were even worse than they are now. Altavista and the rest were just indexing content and providing naive text search over their cache of the Internet and spammers had ensured that only very specific searches having nothing to do with commerce were discoverable.

Then Google came along with PageRank, which rated pages based on which and how many other sites linked to them. Suddenly the Internet was usable again. For a few years. But spammers caught on and the algorithm has had to become more complex. But companies are so desperate for attention and there’s so much money floating around that the huge swaths of entirely fake content have sprung up and become more and more sophisticated.

Unfortunately Google still rules and it takes some unsavory activity to get a new product or service to surface effectively. That’s not actually a new phenomenon, it’s just different mechanisms. But I feel sorry for anyone in the situation described here. I would not be able to bring myself to do effective PR in this or any other age.

Paper = “spatial interface” in the original/most literal way the term was intended. The data is materialized into one point in space, and can only be accessed by going to that point in space. This was the original idea behind the early unification between saving files in a file-manager, and “iconifying” document-displaying windows: a file was just a hibernated window, and a window was a 1:1 representation of some particular file.

Screens = “views” or “data bindings” in the SQL or MVC sense, or “projections” in relational algebra. There’s data somewhere, and then, separately, you have a view into that data: a distinct, live object through which you interact with the data, which can have a UX optimized for a given use-case, distinct from the “objective” UX suited to directly displaying the data.

Capstone is sort of a spatial interface of view objects (rather than a spacial interface of literal documents, or a database-representation of view objects), which is novel.
As long as publicly they still use standard SMTP I don't really have a problem with it. Then it's just a personal choice of the person using the service. As a third-party running my own SMTP and IMAP server I can still interact with them normally, it doesn't affect me.

Now if this is one of these "embrace, extend, extinguish" tactics like gmail seems to be doing then yeah obviously it's bad in the long run but I really don't think any other email service but Google's can really pretend to do that.

A neat hobby in the nostalgia sense but I'm convinced many audiophiles are misled in the idea of audio quality.

You can build something with a mathematically perfect decode and EQ using a raspberry pi. You want digital all the way to final amp stage.

For the amp stage (especially at low power headphone levels) the best amp option is a nice dedicated amp chip. For a few dollars and little external circuitry you can get a chip that will put out 10 watts into a sub ohm load with less than 1% THD. Class D too so it uses ~1/2 the power.

Good example, the old discontinued Sansa Clip, a $20 mp3 player the size of a tic tac box, has one of the best headphone amps tested. Combine it with rockbox firmware and you have a super practical headphone amp that will rival anything money can buy.
Don't bother worrying about Libra
OC's point is that these countries can take literally any other ccTLD they want. Brazil can take .brasil and then have amazon.brasil, which makes more sense to me anyway.

But if you start to let people argue incessantly over who gets what ccTLD, the end result is that there just aren't going to be very many ccTLDs.

OC is saying "treat ccTLD's like we treated .com's: first come first serve" and you'll end up with a much richer variety of domains.
>What says that we have more right to liver here, take the air, water and other resources than any of the other clearly
sentient & intelligent beings among whom we live?

Nature does. In the same way it gave wolves the right to eat rabbits. By providing us with the indisputable power to do so. It also gave us the ability to choose:

We can live a tiny existence as a species, completely eschewing any and all anthropological climate impact until we are eventually extincted by natural climate change just as every other species that ever lived on this planet was or will be.

Or we can consume the entire world in a few generations in a desperate bid to show each other the maximum number ads for ephemeral crap that doesn't matter at all.

Or something in the middle. I personally vote for the careful, intentional consumption of most of this world to further human sentience and aid it in expanding into the universe. (And grieve for the fact that we seem to be irreversibly choosing the "ads" option when either of the others would seem much more preferable.)

k (specifically k3) runs on FreeBSD if you use linux emulation. The same is true of q. IIRC, there are no limits on the 32 bit version of q (unlike the old k3). kona is more portable but needs work.

You could also spend 10 mins like my brother did and just change your name to something you like, maybe even name yourself after a celebrity, rather than the one assigned to you.
I suspect it'll actually become a war of attrition, won by whoever has the most industrial capacity on the ground to make more drones and supply their logistics.

Battles between adversaries of wildly different technological levels usually come down to whoever has the better technology. Battles between equal technological levels come down to whoever has better resources. Drone swarm vs. pilot isn't looking good for the pilots, but drone swarm vs. other drone swarm will probably go to whoever has the bigger drone swarm.
I absolutely understand what you're getting at. But, I have a reason to disagree. I find cookbooks help expand the cultural horizons to cooking. Only because you can get "authentic" cookbooks of other countries. The Polish ones I have, are in Polish. So, that's easy. The French ones I have, though in English, are written either originally by Frenchies and translated or they also know English and have a good editor. Same goes for Japanese, Thai and German. But I also look for keywords about their grandmother. Best way to know the authentic level of a cookbook in English is how much they admit they're stealing from their grandma. The higher, the better. Especially if they talk about struggling to get the right ingredients.

Honestly, I miss absolutely nothing from the internet when it comes to cooking. But I also wanted to be a chef. So I studied how to properly cook long ago and I cook almost every day... so I'll admit in already an outlier. Still, the way the internet treats cooking is retarded. It doesn't surprise me that people don't like to cook if they grew up with the internet as a learning resource. All these people overcomplicate easy recipes and substitute anything because it makes them feel like pretty snowflakes.
It's amazing to me how effective it is just to write down these things.

I'm planning to rebuild my deck and I've been thinking and brainstorming for days. But just the act of writing down the step by step order of what is already in my head made me discover all kinds of holes in my plan.

There's a magic there. You can be convinced you know something intimately but if you write it all down I almost guarantee you'll find holes.
At least one firm already tried that:

To be fair I have played to the new one for less than an hour.

I could play it for free during the stadia demo. If I had played for more than one hour, I would have been able to keep the game. The tech itself is amazing, but after skipping 2 or 3 asscreeds games, I was very surprised to see health bars.

The series always had a bad tendency to pad its length by relying to the endowed progress effect with lots of copy paste content like "collect the 100 feathers".

The health bars and levels already made the first fights boring, not to mention that I don't think they have anything to do in a stealth action game. They just sound like another way to pad the game length.

If the platforming also got worse ? damn, I don't regret letting this franchise go.
In the same way that I don't see Microsoft and Google as American spying operations on the rest of the world. There's very little stopping the US government from forcing Google to give up my information "because of national security" but the Snowden leaks proved that the US government doesn't work that direct. Still, I don't see Android phones as international espionage devices.

Perhaps your opinion may vary, but so far the most conclusive proof of spying is against the US and UK government, both of which are screaming at everyone that big evil China is trying to steal all of our secrets. Maybe it some kind of distraction manoeuvre ("we're spying but only because they're doing it!") but the anti Huawei hysteria is greatly exaggerated.
Re: recipes, one of the potential reasons for this is that bare recipes are not copyrightable by law. Courts see them as algorithms, almost -- e.g., there are only so many ways to cook a grilled cheese sandwich.

> 17 U.S.C. 102(b): In no case does copyright protection for an original work of authorship extend to any idea, procedure, process, system, method of operation, concept, principle, or discovery, regardless of the form in which it is described, explained, illustrated, or embodied in such work.

So it's been a tradition in the recipe space for decades to include lots of descriptive "filler" text when you're writing your recipe book/blog. That filler text is copyrightable, which gives you legal recourse against people who might try to wholesale copy your work.

Of course, in the modern world, it's definitely true that they can also help with SEO. And honestly I wouldn't completely discount the idea of people actually reading them -- I know my wife has gone through phases where she has a couple different blogs bookmarked and will read through them to get ideas, but also because she liked the writing of the author.
Maybe so, but please don't post unsubstantive comments to HN. Especially not indignant unsubstantive ones.
The takeaway is that if you judge people based entirely on how "normal" their name is, you're a bad person.

I think the real shock is that enough people vote into office those who deregulate environmental protections.

Democracies will be unable to factor in the ramifications of their actions unless the majority of them are highly-educated. To me, I doubt the sustainability of a technologically advanced democracy without universal college education for this reason. The electorate has enough power to drastically harm the environment and themselves without the ability to consider the self-harming consequences of their voting habits.

Can anyone think of a similar situation in history?
