> If a work year consists of 300 days, that would mean almost 18,000 man-years, which, spread over 20 years, implies a workforce of about 900 men.

While the analysis is interesting, I think the 300 working days a year is too long. Likely, work on these types of public projects was mostly done during the flood season, which was around 4 months (120 days [0]) so maybe 100 work days at best, so the calculations for required workers should probably be multiplied by 3.

You can spend your whole day trying to prove that Twitter is biased, and you will have completely ignored my actual point. You don’t need to prove that Twitter is biased, you need to prove that Twitter’s supposed biases justifies the government regulating protected speech.

I genuinely couldn’t care less if Twitter is biased if you don’t meet that second, higher bar. Use a different platform, petition twitter, complain here, just don’t ask the government to regulate speech.

Model-Dependent Realism
The laws of America already provide a way to resolve that though. If one company is becoming too powerful and unfairly damaging competition because of it, anti-trust exists.

Arguably twitter isn’t even that powerful except that the president uses it as an official communications platform. Before this current administration, Twitter was circling the drain. It was an afterthought in modern social media. The president pretty much singlehandedly made twitter as important as they are today. If the president doesn’t like twitters TOS he could switch to Facebook and have an even greater reach than he does today. So it’s hard to argue that twitter is actually the problem, but if they are, the easy answer is stop using their platform and switch to a competitor.
I don't know what it was arguing. It seemed to be implying that the Fairness Doctrine created a protected space. Didn't it do the opposite?

Sure, that’d be editing, but what Twitter did was not editing. It’s akin to a reply tweet that was pinned to the top. They did not edit Trump’s tweet at all.

I think you misunderstand me.

Food waste is a terrible problem in this country. It is driven by a poor regulatory and legal environment that introduces unnecessary risk for restaurant owners to donate their food.

With the way things are now, it is too risky for a restaurant to donate. They haven’t been sued because they don’t typically do it.

I think major changes need to be made.

I think restaurants should be required to donate all extra viable food.

I think insurance should be required to cover those donations so they absorb the liability and therefore enforce safety.

But the way things stand now, you can’t in good conscience tell a restaurant to donate food without an intermediary organization in the area, and even then it’s risky.

One of the major improvements here: this finalizes the license change to Apache 2.0, which makes OpenSSL finally GPL-compatible. That removes one of the major reasons people had to avoid it.

(Specifically, OpenSSL is now compatible with anything licensed "GPLv3", "GPLv3 or later", or "GPLv2 or later". It's not compatible with "GPLv2 only", but that's a relatively small amount of software.)

Other major improvements: TLS1.3 support, Linux kernel TLS support (hand off crypto to the kernel and then read/write as though you had a normal file descriptor and let the kernel handle the crypto), and opaque low-level structures (no more dependencies on OpenSSL internals).
The concept of regulation in this space may make sense, but that doesn't mean just any regulation will do, and the fact that it's come in the form of government retaliation to Twitter publishing a fact check of a public official is scary.

What statement was made by Twitter that could be followed blindly? All I saw was "Get the facts about mail in ballots".

You can only infer a bias on that based on your own preconceived notion about Twitter's biases. A completely ignorant and unbiased individual may just as likely think "Twitter wants to show me why Trump is right" as they are to think "Twitter wants to show me why Trump is wrong".

If music were the way to describe society - I'd say it shows that we are connected globally but also have a diverse range of tastes. A top hit song can quickly go viral globally now, yet the global number one song on Spotify usually only has around 5 million streams/day. Considering Spotify has ~300 million users, clearly people are listening to a wide range of stuff beyond the charts. Pop songs have had a simple beat, simple chord progression and simple lyrics since the dawn of recorded music. Anyone with the "most basic knowledge" of music could have made an early Beatles number one has well.

People believe that even if you don’t say it, however. While TDD I’m sure started with good intentions, the reason it hasn’t seen as wide adoption as it could have, in my opinion, is that it is frequently stated as requiring that everything be developed from tests.

Thanks for the article. That's super interesting from several perspectives (eco, ethical, state response to threats).

Totally agree with you, with the one caveat that Youtube is not operated with long term accessibility in mind. Videos routinely are removed by their creator, or get taken down for silly reasons. And one day Youtube will disappear as well.

Archive the channels you care about - they might otherwise be impossible to find in a few decades, or a few years. Youtube-dl is one of my favorite pieces of software.

Digital artefacts could be, paradoxically, less durable going in the future - if you write and publish a physical book, it might get forgotten in a library somewhere and rediscovered 200 years after you die.

If you publish an ebook on your website and die and no one cares, the probability of anyone discovering it by happenstance 200 years later goes down to 0.
Not OP.

I use it with my manager to asynchroneously share updates and todos. It's in reverse chronological order, with a big heading for each weekly 1-1. We both write directly in the doc, and tag each other with comments for updates.

An extreme of this, is that some teams (was it Netflix?) basically use google docs as project trackers. The project is described in the google doc, and you talk about it via comments - whenever you want, and as a replacement for meetings (who doesn't love getting rid of meetings?)

In general, the idea with a gDoc is of a central repository of useful knowledge, an improvment over searching through chat messages and endless meetings.

Read though most of the paper and here's what GPT-3 is:

If you wanted to generate poems with GPT-2, you'd need to have a lot of poems to fine-tune GPT-2 to get reasonable results.

With GPT-3, you use few-shot learning instead (without the need to do gradient updates with each example)

The paper is long and filled with how it stacks with models like Grover and T5 and it does well... given that this is a 175 B param model (relative to Grover/T5's 1.5/11B param models). This shows that even with these huge models, smaller models can outperform them in certain instances with lesser param models.

Also I think they did a good job with explaning the ethics and morals around what models like these mean / what biases this has.

> 230 is the thing that allows HN to moderate comments and submissions without immediately becoming legally responsible for every dumb thing we say.

This definitely isn't true. The reality is that you are never automatically responsible for what someone else does. (It makes no sense!) Tech companies would like you to believe that Section 230 is some fundamental bedrock to the Internet, but it's not, it's just a get out of jail card for ad companies acting badly.

> Nobody seems to believe the administration can actually do this.

There's probably some manner of activity executive departments such as the FTC and FCC are capable of doing. Though it's definitely true that Congress-passed laws (unfortunately, including Section 230 of the CDA) stand above the regulatory power they have. But this order may be a precursor towards a larger push to scale back or (ideally) remove Section 230 in legislation.

> just got sucked so deep into the screaming partisan meat grinder that there is now no chance of making any progress on them

I actually disagree here. The vast majority of issues that require legislative attention aren't getting it because they're not loud enough to be put as conditions upon other things happening. Legislatively a lot of issues are at a complete standstill. But once it becomes a hot button issue, legislators are more likely to pack it in here or there until something moves on it.
Going with a US outfitter is the most efficient option, but is also expensive. A poor student with little money and a lot of time could try joining a research team as an unpaid helper. It has been years since I toyed with the idea, but when I did there were university groups of all sorts, from military-funded data collectors to environmentalists. University teams are often interested in saving limited grant money by paying fewer workers. This is a lot less glamorous option and one would need to do some work, but the ticket becomes free.
Odd that the article doesn’t mention Go. Deno works like Go. It’s slightly different in that Go added a system for version rewrites recently (“modules”), but other than that it’s the same, and if importmaps ever happen, it will be the exact same.

Also Deno has a command line fallback for its version of GOPATH, which is smart because it turns out a huge percentage of devs don’t know what env vars are or how to set them.

But other than cosmetic differences, it’s pretty much identical to Go.
Congratulations on the launch. I like the landing page and the justification for the lack of a free tier. Cronjobs are often set-and-forget tasks that a free tier can attract a lot of free users that are hard to turn into paying customer. A well-defined pricing structure with well-defined features can bring customers who settle-in for the long term.

That said, I think you will be competing in an up-hill battle with competitors.

- CI/CD systems: This is how I would personally setup my jobs. I can go as far as SSH-ing to a remote server, and execute a script there, assert a certain output in the stdout, and mark build as failed. CI/CD system can then alert whoever is responsible. I don't think extremely technical developers are your target audience. The right balance would be a UI that can make this easy.

- Random polling: As other commenters mentioned, a loose scheduler can help those who want just want to casually spot-check stuff.

- Granular schedules: One might need to run an indexer every 10 minutes Mon-Fri 08:00-17:00, and hourly in weekends. Instead of using two schedulers, it might be both financially and cognitively easier to have just one scheduler.

- Add features to expect a certain output to mark the job as passed. This can be an HTTP status code, a certain regular expression, a time-out threshold, etc.

Good luck on your ventures!
"I first heard about this from one of the developers of the hit game SimCity, who told me that there was a critical bug in his application: it used memory right after freeing it, a major no-no that happened to work OK on DOS but would not work under Windows where memory that is freed is likely to be snatched up by another running application right away. The testers on the Windows team were going through various popular applications, testing them to make sure they worked OK, but SimCity kept crashing. They reported this to the Windows developers, who disassembled SimCity, stepped through it in a debugger, found the bug, and added special code that checked if SimCity was running, and if it did, ran the memory allocator in a special mode in which you could still use memory after freeing it."

Isn't the Linux kernel "GPLv2 only"?
It seems to me that this is mostly a design problem. Why would you need to check this data everywhere?

Checking the validity of the data is only necessary once. In a web context, this is the responsibility of the controller. Only once the data is sanitized should the controller inject it into 'anything else'.
Sanitizing data is not the responsibility of a model/service/repository/view/anything else, and trying to do so indeed leads to a lot of bugs and headaches.

Having this kind of object that checks your data and may throw exceptions anywhere on the code only augments the failure surface of all your codebase by adding unexpected exceptions.

Comprehensibility is in no way related to using objects. Wether you choose an integer, a class or a subtype of integer does not make anything more readable, it all depends on the quality of the naming. A var named `year` or `startYear` will always make the code more readable than a var named `start` or `begin`, whether it contains an object or an integer is irrelevant.
Would you have any easy to explain insight in to how these perform better than larger models? I’ve always wanted to understand that as a technically adept and somewhat familiar (briefly) person who has explored what such models can do.

With more information going to a cloud, and storage formats becoming obsolete faster, I wonder if we're actually better now.

I can't do the same for digital data, at least not without specialized equipment and systems.
