You can use uBlock Origin to block all ads, and use SponsorBlock to skip ads inside the video itself, such as sponsor promotions, and even intro/end sequences. It really cuts out all of the bullshit in YouTube videos.
Just NO. Artificial Stupidity (AS) will never be able to perform at the level of Actually Seen Stupidity (ASS). No matter how much you try to improve AS, God will always create a better ASS. You will always be limited by priors to create an AS, but ASS will evolve naturally, plus if God ever decides to use science and apply a Directed Acyclic Tangent (DAT) well, DAT ASS would be unbeatable.
At that point why not just filter images from twitter?
At first I thought this would be a literal text-only social network, à la txti.
Taxi and food delivery are novel though.

They managed to reclassify employees as "gig workers" to avoid any sort of financial and social responsibility. And the way they flagrantly ignored laws and regulations in so many countries and over so many years was definitely unique.
Its also very well supported by course provider companies. I have installed four plug-ins to handle using outside company tests and courses.

Sounds good. I’ll definitely keep my eye on the project. Please let us know if you have a Twitter/Github handle with updates about Notado.
ARM has a more relaxed memory model that allows you to skip some uarch components. For example, the x86 instruction cache needs to watch for writes to instructions it's executing, while ARM derived CPUs can just ignore those writes.

And ARMs fixed length instructions allow apple to just duplication their instruction decoder logic until they are decoding (currently) 7 instructions per cycle.

With x86, you have to work out how long each instruction is to know where the next instruction starts. Intel and AMD actually try to decode an instruction starting at every single byte (over 16 bytes) letting the earlier instructions cancel out any incorrect instructions.

With this scheme, Intel can only decode 5 instructions per cycle, while AMD are currently doing 4. And they both require certain complex instructions to always go in the first decoder.

To overcome this bottleneck, Intel and AMD both cache decoded uops in an L0 cache to speed up tight loops. Intel can do 6 uops per cycle, AMD can max out at 8 uops.

Apple can skip all this complexity. Their decoders operate at full speed and there is no need to cache uops.

Beyond these two areas, the rest of the CPU core is reasonably ISA agnostic.

The scheduling and execution units can stay the same, but the optimal balance of execution units might change based on the ISA.

That balance also might change based on the type of code the CPU is expected to execute, and the compiler.
I prefer image boards and posting anonymously.

For example, see this mobile friendly image board:

I’d like to see more of the HN crowd come there. It might raise the quality of the content on Minichan.
if you haven’t seen the video and you don’t know enough about it, why do you feel your contributions to the discussion are worthwhile?
Yes, I noticed that too. So yes, I believe that this improves on Keybase. Even without the Zoom fail.

C'mon, the New Yorker has been unusually good on this topic, even skewering a few sacred cows here and there: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2016/05/30/the-new-activi...
Submitted contents are not editable and there is no way to change the title of the submitted content. And there is also no way to delete what you have submitted. From a UX point of view I think this is very none-intuitive.

(UI-wise it is not bad in general except when you want to select the topic it shows up a dropdown list of 2000 things. Also having fake comments auto-generated makes me feel like this is not a finished product but a POC.)

And not sure how but I ran into Error 500 quite a few times.

Overall I think the idea is great conceptually but as a product it is trying to do too many things at once. If OP intends to scale it up I think it would be nice to focus on fullfiling a particular niche first. Or in Paul Buchheit's words: it's better to make a few people really happy than to make a lot of people semi-happy i.e. at least from a product standpoint. Of course as a hobby project I think this is still pretty cool!

Haven't read the source so can't comment too much on the arch and code. I think it has the potential to be further developed into a very powerful CMS for domain-specific knowledge management, or a CRM, etc. B2C-wise as a content-discovery plaftorm I don't see how this is going to work, except becoming a haven for ads which is probably the last thing OP wants. Suppose it does become a social network as OP has intended, when it grows to a certain scale it will run into the same content moderation problem as hn, etc (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23806426). On the other hand B2B-wise it may be able to become ramen profitable.

p.s. to OP: can you delete the duplicated entry for me? Thanks. Due to the crashes and the name not showing up properly I submitted my app https://archy.sh/ with mutiple entries.
What does that mean, and what did it change about your approach to life?
It's interesting to me that this piece doesn't explicitly mention Wittgenstein's discussion of the difficulty in defining a game

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_resemblance

since there might be no particular thing that all things that we call games have in common with each other.

It's also interesting that in Rosewater's sense, many casino games and other gambling games aren't games because you also can't meaningfully affect their outcome. (I don't think it's at all unreasonable to say that these aren't fun in the same way or for the same reason as games that give you agency...)
"As tempting as the alternative is, making these changes will improve your life"

I know most people on HN believe this, or want to believe this, or especially want everyone else to believe this, but I still think the statement needs support. Or at least a qualifier like "in my opinion."
Modern Emacs (27 and up I think) has a new so-called "portable dumper"[^1]. I've only played a little bit with it, but it does ridiculously speed speed up some things. Don't really need it, but it's cool anyways.

It is hard to maintain the two timelines in one's mind at once. Most of the time I maintain the dehydrated version that "you need both" and talk myself through the details when I need them.

Typically what happens is that folks incorrectly capture parts of both timelines. For "valid time", folks will have "created at", "deleted at", "updated at" fields etc and assume this covers it. Unfortunately, it doesn't really capture proper spans. If I have a fact that starts being true on Tuesday, then add another one that starts being true on Thursday, can I deduce that the first fact was true from Tuesday until Thursday?

No, I can't logically make that claim. It's possible that the first fact was true on Tuesday only, leaving a gap on Wednesday. Without explicit valid time, I can't find those kinds of holes, or apply constraints against them.

Similarly, folks rely on history tables, audit tables etc to try to capture transaction time changes. These are still not enough, for the same reason. You need the span of time, the interval, to properly assert the time during which the database held a record to be true. When we discover that the Thursday fact was wrong, we need to be able to know over what window we held that to be true. Overwriting the record, or entering an update into a log etc, is not enough to truly reconstruct the history. You must be explicit about the span.

The necessity of bitemporalism was easy for me, because I had been responsible for either creating or maintaining multiple databases in which I could not answer a wide range of questions after the march of time. I learned many of the standard hacks (copy the price of a stocked item into the invoice line item, or it will change beneath you! Use slowly changing dimensions! Have a transactions table which creates a slow-as-hell copy of what the database does internally, but not as well!). When I read Snodgrass's book it all went clunk and I've been a wild-haired proselyte ever since.
> Intel clung to the x86 instruction set

Itanium launched in 2001 (per Wikipedia); if anything, I'd say they overestimated how readily they could ditch x86. Of course, it might be that replacing x86 was a good idea and it was just that Itanium sucked (I'd accept that possibility, given the whole "needs a smarter compiler than exists" thing). But I do agree with the general feeling that Intel and MS both overestimated how solid/entrenched they were.

What about the -static compiler option? Why it's not good enough? Is it possible to fix its shortcomings?
Are there any actually profitable social media companies?
Bringing back social isn't about getting rid of images and focusing on ASCII text, it's about getting rid of URLs and article snippets, and refocusing solely on user created content. Remember when streams were only filled with updates from old friends and family with things like birthday parties, vacations, graduations, concerts, restaurant meals, etc., and nothing else? (Sort of like Instagram still is, but with text allowed, two-way authorization only and without the "influencers".)

Now you log in (FB, Twitter, etc.) only to find out which of your casual acquaintances are the most gullible, racist, sexist, homophobic, sociopathic or worse by the news items they're spewing into their increasingly extreme echo chamber. Sure, the same thing could be conveyed by a selfie wearing a MAGA hat, but it would happen much, much less often.

All these services would have to do to get back to their social roots is provide a default filter for news items. But they refuse, and in fact are increasingly manipulating your feed instead to increase "engagement" (read: anger and hate).

I'm amazed that a social-only network hasn't taken off yet that provides this basic functionality. It feels like the time is right for something like this.
I find it interesting that nobody seems to know that hemp polymers and hemp bioplastics are readily available, and exist.

https://hempplastic.com/products/

I've held hemp plastic packaging in my hands in Denver, it works well.
If we'd start ramping up the industrial hemp production it is also one of the best things for the entire planet for carbon neutral and even net negative in the long term. Cannabis is the highest consuming agricultural crop of CO2 on the planet. It grows at such an accelerated rate highly balances photosynthesis and quickly grows; eating CO2 like monsters. Turn the flower into cannabinoid extracts and foods, seed into food products, and all hemp stalk and pithe is then turned into bioplastics and hempcrete and various other wood products, like paper.
Sorry, you are making things up. At the time of Aaron's demise, the entire first page at HN was full of articles about him. We'd all discussed quite a bit here as well as elsewhere.

As for "shit hn says", we are all not even from the same part of the world and have very diverse cultures and divergent viewpoints as well. There's no single "hn" that you allude to.

No, the last time the minimum wage was increased was 2009, not 30 years ago.

The original federal minimum wage was .25 in 1938. If it had only kept up with inflation it would only be about $4.55 today.

If you are actually concerned about helping the poor, then as user scarface74 points out, increasing EITC is a better approach than a minimum wage increase.

I agree, but unfortunately a lot of our culture and society revolves around these social networks right now. It drives the culture at this point, and having reasonable people disengaging from the platform en-masse might accelerate the toxic effects these social networks are having on our society even more. The toxic network effects have need to be identified, quantified and stopped. By regulation most likely.
I have been meditating daily for the last year and the improvements it has offered my mental health is immeasurable. I am a huge fan of the Calm app (I've also tried Headspace to less success). Calm has a lot of meditations directly dealing with situations personally applicable to me as a tech worker, so I definitely suggest giving it a try. I also enjoy the background noise; it helps cue me back into meditation when my mind inevitably drifts off. I also use their other features around sleep. The other day I was unfortunate enough to have a panic attack while tripping acid; my husband immediately pulled out an emergency SOS meditation session and it helped me thru it. My pavlovian response is to the point now where just opening the app calms me!

It's not at all a hyperbole to say that Calm has saved my life, my marriage, and my relationships. Come Christmas I will be purchasing a lifetime subscription.

You might think so, but the encryption used at the time was such that only somebody with quite a few resources (such as a government actor) could reasonably break the encryption. It wasn't a win for owners or tinkerers.

What's more worrying is that there are a bunch of vehicles out there with security that is going to age * very * fast compared to that used every day (SSH, certs, etc). Consider that the automotive industry might be under similar constraints with regards to autonomous vehicles, something a bad actor could really cause some damage with.

This article summarizes a large amount of research and analysis.

*Edit: Please cite the particular claims you are flagging this for, so others (including me as a lay reader) can try to address them.

For kevingadd, I think that claim comes from the statement below, drawn from this study [1].
"Scientists are now showing evidence that up to 81% of us can mount a strong response to COVID-19 without ever having been exposed to it before"
[1] https://www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-35331/v1

For jschwartzi, yes, that claim is theorizing, but so is any other claim on HIT. This study qualifies that figure to an extent[2].

Most, if not all, corporations are misaligned to humanity's well-being. That is, they want money, and that's not exactly the same thing as what would be best for humanity.

This is okay though because corporations are the same class and kind of intelligence as the rest of humanity and so they can be (somewhat) predicted and constrained by our laws and norms.

Because corporations are the same class of intelligence, they can't outsmart everyone. We can catch them when they do wrong and punish them and use laws and courts to control them.

Because corporations are the same kind of intelligence they (usually) aren't going to do things we might consider insane or sociopathic. For example, if corporation X realized they might make a profit by taking out life insurance on workers and then getting them to do very risky things, X Corp probably wouldn't do it and if they did people would leak it and laws would be made to stop it.

The paperclip thought experiment is an illustration of a different kind of intelligence that wouldn't be constrained by human morality or norms and would surpass human intelligence and not be constrained by laws or force either.
Of course not, but if none of your execs have any engineering chops then you're setting up for a world of pain.

Some examples of modern tech, which might not be that modern:

I wanted to see how it would handle non-ascii text so I typed 안녕하세요 and it romanized it to annyeonghaseyo. (This is "hello" in Korean). I did not expect that.

I really like the idea of a text-only social network, so I hope this takes off. I think the author should consider supporting other languages though. Seeing romanized text isn't very helpful to people that actually want to read or write in other character sets. It's a cute feature though.
