Ask HN: Cloud Jetsons
this is a strange question but is there somewhere you can "rent" access to a jetson? in particular AGX Xavier and Xavier NX. the reason i'm interested is i want to benchmark some code before i buy one to see if it's a suitable platform for my application.

“Social media should not fact check posts” says child molester Mark Zuckerberg
They are just using Trump's tweet to promote their own point of view.
Um... can you cite the explanation of why the safe harbor provisions of the CDA are conditioned on being a neutral platform? That's not how I understand the law.

You're stretching. Twitter did a fact check on the president and he can't handle it, so he's trying to harm the company using the levers of government. And that is ALL that is happening.

The legalese that you're misunderstanding is just cover. And the proof is that no one wants Twitter to be liable for the speech of its posters, because if they were then Trump (who literally just days ago falsely accused a guy of murder on that very platform) would be thrown off instantly.
> It is, you are putting your own issue in higher regard just because you don't know someone else’s situation.

Most of the time the communication is within the team and we do know the other team members situations (work wise).

And we have decided it is important enough to interrupt them.

And we are mostly knowledge workers who understand the cost of interruptions.

Yes, there are bad eggs who waste everyone’s time, but they are in the small minority.

What I find happens a lot is devs focus on their personal productivity ahead of the teams productivity.
I don’t think there’s anything public about this. Not that there is anything particularly secret about this at all. It’s very straightforward and I’ve described its salient points above.
Do we have to generalize everything?

Just because it was true for you doesn't mean it'll be true for all.
> It’s important to be in the right kind of environment, and around the right kind of people.

Namely, people who went to an elite school (which inevitably implies they have rich parents) and aren't going to burden your fledgling cash grab with any world-weary ideas about integrity. Extra points if no one involved in the project has any programming talent. That frees up lots of time for coming up with brilliant ideas.

Download Android Studio,

read the kotlin koans (assuming you are not familiar with kotlin), they are the best way to get used to that language if you know java, and kotlin is much more pleasant to use than java

Best practices and tools might be harder, a LOT has changed in the past 7 years.

Maybe https://github.com/ZacSweers/CatchUp as a sample ?

After that, it depends whether your hobby is to write an android app, or if the resulting product is hobby.

if it is the former, Compose is lots of fun and will be a big leap in android development. You can already use the dev version.

MVI has also deeply changed how I code Android apps. Again, maybe not needed for the level of complexity of an hobby app unless you want to toy with something different.

if you have everything you need in python then you're not really the target audience. deno is an answer to the current state of the npm ecosystem. Not that you shouldn't switch to deno from python, but you should only do that if you already had a reason why you wanted to switch to node from python.

If they don't like the section 230 laws, that already exist, then they should go lobby Congress to change it or something.

But right now, if you act as a publisher, then you lose certain protections. That's how that law works.

He's being really honest in this post :D
2 reasons why this could be a faulty approach:

1) Code, specifically library code, which is what npm mostly consists of, in its most ideal state should not have a never-ending variety. On the contrary, we do want to all arrive at one good way of doing a thing. This naturally invites a single central repository over the decentralization of the web.

2) Very few people publish their own websites. Why? It's complicated, costly. This is why Facebook and Twitter fair so well. So even the decentralized web eventually diverges onto a centralized platform that solves the hosting problem. Why reintroduce the problem when there is already a fairly un-problematic central registry?

If the security model is the real winner, I don't see why it could not be back-ported to Node - it likely will be if Deno takes off in any way.
Imagine actually defending this. In your previous comment you were very clear how, specifically, hip hop by blacks warms your heart.

Now that the content of this 'music' has been laid bare you need to talk around it and distance yourself from those claims.

Why not denounce it? It's not art, it's filth. It's degenerate propaganda. If any White man dares tell me that having that crap in our nations is 'culturally enriching', well, I'd get banned here for even saying what I want to do to him.

It is disgraceful. I hope you're not White. Regardless, but especially if so, you ought to be ashamed of yourself.

Tired, so I'll skip my own interpretation - but I've become convinced that hydroxyapatite is overlooked. I subscribe to the importance of vitamin K too, although my experience with hydroxyapatite has been tangibly beneficial. I find it odd that it's as uncommon as it is, eg I've never seen it on a store shelf. Again, I'm tired, so I'm dropping an unvetted lazily found link on the topic below:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4252862/
I was out of work a couple years ago and I applied to work in a mailroom. It turned out that the company whose mailroom it was, was not the hiring entity - it was outsourced. So, no working your way up anywhere.

Furthermore, the interviewer spent the entire interview complaining about how she mostly couldn't even get people who would show up, let alone act maturely. We discussed the starting date, but within a day or two she reneged, presumably because I had dressed formally for a minimum wage job and was overqualified.

Another thing that comes to mind is the janitorial duties were outsourced in the building I used to work in.

This sort of thing is why I think it's dumb whenever I read something about a progressive company having a minimum wage of whatever for their employees - it's purely a statement about who they keep on their books and who they use indirectly.

I'm hardly an abused slave ready for violent revolution. My life is pretty good if it's just meaningless. Naval gazing at some rich person doesn't help me at all.

Parody news site.
There's a documentary on The Earth Liberation Front (ELF) that's really interesting. Many of them had noble goals, but their message was lost in the violence/destruction they caused. The FBI ended up letting one of the worst of them go after a plea deal where he ratted out other members who had moved on with their lives.
Archaeologists realized long ago that there were other methods of dating things and that they corroborate. IEEE isn't exactly a cutting edge archaeology journal, so hopefully we can forgive them for not explaining this in a popsci piece.

There's also about a century of prior art demonstrating the evolution of pyramid construction from Djoser through Khufu.

It's fine to question popsci narratives, but it seems a bit premature to call them fairy tales before you've looked at the relevant wiki page.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Billboard_number-one...

I’d say the quality of “most listened to” music peaked in the 80’s, with each decade that followed being the worst ever.

Most of my favorite artists are from the 90’s-2010’s, with a few exceptions scattered in the 40’s, 70’s and 80’s.

It could be that music got more diverse in the 90’s, and the billboard chart stopped being broadly relevant.

My screen is the AUO B173HW01 v4, which was shipped with several laptops from that era. The spec [1] was actually finalized in 2009 and that's when my EDID information says the display was manufactured, so "10 years old" was actually a bit conservative it seems.

The spec says it's supposed to have 90% NTSC coverage. I've had it calibrated with a colorimeter, which tells me it has the following properties:

* 89.0% DCI-P3 coverage

* 97.8% AdobeRGB coverage

Here's the graph of its gamut vs sRGB.[2] I edit a lot of photos (though never professionally), and honestly I would never edit on an sRGB screen. Plus, what about HDR video? It's becoming extremely common these days.

Was going to say that its really hard to get off of painted surfaces. What a mess.
I agree completely, but to my mind this is more a validation that there is a lot more money to be made with things that scale. With respect to taste and quality, it is unfortunate that this means lowest common denominator mass market trash. The race to the top is a race to the bottom.

This part really freaked me out... GPT-2 couldn't do math:

Context → Passage: Saint Jean de Br´ebeuf was a French Jesuit missionary who travelled to New France in 1625. There he worked primarily with the Huron for the rest of
his life, except for a few years in France from 1629 to 1633. He learned their language and culture, writing extensively about each to aid other missionaries.
In 1649, Br´ebeuf and another missionary were captured when an Iroquois raid took over a Huron village . Together with Huron captives, the missionaries were
ritually tortured and killed on March 16, 1649. Br´ebeuf was beatified in 1925 and among eight Jesuit missionaries canonized as saints in the Roman Catholic
Church in 1930.

Question: How many years did Saint Jean de Br´ebeuf stay in New France before he went back to France for a few years?

I've become skeptical of everyone's narrative, if anything, but why would a person realize the official narrative is usually a lie, and then go on to trust someone else or some other group blindly? My guess would be binary thinking (it's always gotta be liberals vs conservatives for every argument), the misapplication of the law of the excluded middle (maybe there's a multitude of answers on a scale of correctness, not just two: right and wrong), and other fallacies and things like that.

The article actually doesn't answer the question, it's just a mix of random words and ideas about why it could be that older people share more misinformation with some incredulity towards 'ageism'.
Huh. That's weird. Is that only the FCC or does it apply to other federal appointments.
The existence of the link in the first place. You have to be pretty far removed from reality to not know Twitter execs have a left lean to their bias. So the a completely unbiased person will notice that only some tweets show this link and could build a bias based on other psychological factors, such as wanting acceptance from a seemingly majority of peers.

I am for neutrality. I’m also a realist. IFF they could pull this off universally, in that all tweets are subject to these same fact checks, then I’m all for it. Removing personal biases of the person doing the fact checks will be a challenge but we can achieve this through multiple fact checkers with specific biases. Like the bulls and bears statements you find with stocks. But we cannot achieve this, we lack both the peoplepower and technology given Twitters scale. Short of it being universally applied to all accounts it can’t meet the definition of neutral. Therefor, don’t do it at all. Instead someone else using Twitter can reply to his tweets with the fact check. This keeps Twitters hands and potential biases entirely out of a very complicated topic.
Stream count is super low for India. I don’t think Spotify is used there. From my limited experience, YouTube and local apps seem to be way more popular.
Agree LaTeX is painful here. For tables and inline code snippets, it is indeed a genuine shortcoming of LaTeX.

On the other hand:

* For graphs and charts, I'm not sure how it could be done much better in a text-based programming language.

* Even for tables you have to have some sympathy because remember, the cells in the table can (and occasionally do) contain very complicated mathematical contents. Tables are hard, as many a frontend dev will assure you.

Nope, unfortunately I don’t (yet), although I know the Cyrillic alphabet from living in Belgrade for awhile, and I speak some Polish and Serbo-Croatian. I’d say learning Russian is easier than it seems, especially if you’re from a technical background and are comfortable with complex grammar structures. Probably on par with Latin in terms of difficulty.

After surveying the available options (including both free programs and non-subscription paid ones like Cartoon Animator 4), I’ve just been getting started with OpenToonz. It seems very good so far. It’s by no means simple software—it’s capable of a lot and has the UI complexity to match, so it takes some time investment to learn what it’s capable of; but for my own purposes at least I reckon that investment (which has been maybe ten hours) is worthwhile.

> However, what about sites like HN?

HN has nowhere near enough active management to safe from liability without Section 230, but enough to be at risk of losing Section 230 protection especially for a government effort overtly motivated by perceived anti-Republican bias (which HN is regularly accused of exhibiting and reinforcing via it's moderation policies.)

I'm pretty sure YC wouldn't risk running it if Section 230 protection with active moderation wasn't available; user-submitted content sites that are side project for a business are even more at risk than ones that are core business; no one is going to absorb substantial liabit risk for a peripheral effort.

Ask HN: What are the most ambitious startups you know?
No. What we don’t want is for Twitter to have their cake and eat it too. That is, to enjoy all of the privileges of being a publisher (editing posts and saying whatever they want) while upholding none of the responsibilities that eg. newspapers and magazines have to uphold.

If Twitter wants to be a communications service (a la Comcast) protected by safe harbour then they need to act like one. That means if they really can’t stand what Trump tweets then they should ban him, just as Comcast would stop carrying a cable channel it no longer wanted to carry.

These social media companies are incredibly powerful and they need to be reined in. It’s as simple as that. This executive order will soon wind up before the courts and that’s where it should be decided.
So basically the advertising companies own the whole stack. Explains a lot.
I worry that this is going to break so many programs and scripts in the same way that the switch from Linux 2.6 did..
Absolutely. But because it does work they might start using it without knowing it's wrong, then be surprised when it doesn't work. Python has other areas where the common English definition of a word leads to misunderstandings about how they're to be used.

Yeah...the first rule of AIX Club is AIX isn't (wasn't) old-school Unix. You actually had to learn AIX.

Back when I was in that game, we had an AIX guru spend a week or two teaching our kernel devs how things actually worked and at the end everyone was "even if I don't agree with how you did things, I understand how to make things work". We saw lot of folks try and shoehorn their view of Unix into AIX and it never ended well.

My opinion has been that it's good for US workers if foreigners immigrate and become citizens, because even if they make less than most Americans, they make more than they did in their prior country, which means they are improving the global market for labor, from the point of view of workers.

But having classes of people who live in the country but have special restricted rights and never become full citizens worries me.

I wish we could move away from the idea that citizenship is a reward for following the rules and instead consider that making people citizens is a benefit for (maybe even vital to preserving) society.

I have zero issues with private companies controlling their content. Companies are regulated by laws, if there is an issue with the law, the legislative has the responsibility to change it. Instead here you have a country’s president bypassing the law making system to control a company behavior, that’s by definition an authoritative action as it goes against the separation of powers and responsibilities, which defines in part a democratic system.

Opinions regarding Trump have nothing to do with anything here.
