I'm coming around to the idea of having a separate VLAN for this stuff.
I find this phenomenon very unusual. I think some people think this way because otherwise nature and society inflicts unimaginable horrors on an incomprehensible number of creatures and that is a truly soul-shaking thing to realize.

One thing I think regarding AI is it has shown Is just how complex the behaviors of these “simple” creatures really are.
I don't think they're more than 2 or 3 years from that.
Nope. Nor can I tell the difference in a blind taste test between white and red wine. Probably most wine snobs can't either, and probably most coffee snobs couldn't really tell the difference in a blind test.
This. I've been doing AIP since 2015 when I was first diagnosed and it has been great so far.
I think we should probably accept that this will happen, but we should also fight hard for making unemployment a feasible longterm option. UBI might work, but it would be cool if we could make it easy to be minimally self sufficient. Low maintenance and low cost housing, the ability to grow your own food, the ability to get some basic level of energy from the sun, etc. That way, you can comfortably leave a company that goes too far with stuff like this. The easier we can make it to live unemployed, the better we'll all be.
Well, it’s good to see that net shift. However, the net shift still indicates that they still don’t know what’s good. Kanye and Amy Whinehouse are ranked almost 100 places higher than The Fugees - The Score and Biggy Smalls - Life After Death.

I’m just glad cinema is so international and most of it’s rankings always had diversity internationally that new top lists don’t have to literally over correct in a shallow way to make up for the pure exclusionary judgement making of the past.
Kubernetes 1.19 here...

To clarify your edit, I am mostly concerned that I want to pull in another deb repo or something so when I do an apt update I get a full set of updates, not the distribution packages and a manual compile job to argue with.
Is there such a thing as an objective album ranking? Especially when you consider the shifting landscape of music over time. Actually forget the shifting landscape of music, consider the shifting landscape of people - theres been significant generational change since 2003, doesn't it make sense that albums move up and down the ranking as their relevance increases or decreases? It doesn't surprise me at all that Marvin Gaye would have gone up the ranking.

edit: I think it's also worth asking the question of what role race played in the degree to which an artist or group was heralded "at the time".

It's a bit more complicated than that. For example, does it run on an NVidia AGX Xavier [1], which has an ARM 64-bit cpu? Would you be able to access the GPU?

It's a very good question. I haven't really tried using salsa directly, but I know Adam Perry spent some time with it. I believe an earlier prototype of Moxie actually used salsa, but he ended up moving away from that for reasons I don't fully understand myself. In any case, Crochet is very deeply inspired by Moxie, so there's certainly an influence there, even if we don't end up using the code directly.

Regarding DOM, yes. I think it's held up pretty well considering how long the ideas have been around. It's slow, it's clunky, but it gets the job done. But I also think now is a good time to consider better ways to implement its core functionality, which is tree mutation.
The borders are closed. That's not a technicality and having your own form of transport doesn't change this.

This is part of their ongoing campaign to "featurize" Linux as just another part of Windows. It's not going to be extinguished. Quite the contrary; it will be easier than ever for devs to work with Liunux and FOSS and for users to consume those apps on Windows (where the users are). Users don't care where software runs or how and by folding Linux into Windows, everyone gets what they want. It's brilliant, really.
A number of years ago there was a hookah bar that opened up in town (I live in a small-ish college town). There was an article in the local paper about the emerging popularity of these establishments. It included a quote from one of the frequent patrons talking about how he loved it because it was so safe, that you were just inhaling the “flavor” without any of the harmful chemicals you’d get from smoking[1].

I was astonished at the time, but I guess the belief is more common than I was aware.

Bernd Heinrich is a naturalist and professor who has written plenty of uniquely insightful and highly accessible books on the intelligence of birds, among other species.
One of his authoritative books is the "Mind of the raven", which analyzes the question of consciousness in ravens. From the description on Amazon:
"Mind of the Raven follows an exotic journey;from New England to Germany, and from Montana to Baffin Island in the high Arctic;offering dazzling accounts of how science works in the field, filtered through the eyes of a passionate observer of nature. Each new discovery and insight into raven behavior is thrilling to read, at once lyrical and scientific."

Another of his books that particularly sheds light on the unimaginably mature navigation skills and the ultraendurance of our avian brethren:

I think it's the effect of sometimes only realizing in hindsight that something was truly groundbreaking and trend-setting. I still listen to OK Computer and Kid A frequently; they absolutely hold up. The same isn't true of so much other turn-of-the-millennium music that was massively popular at the time.

The trend-setting part is the real distinction here. You don't know what ends up being a dead end and what ends up being foundational to entire new genres of music until enough time has passed to see how things turned out. You need to wait enough time to see it all shake out. E.g. the first jazz and rock'n'roll musicians (who were all black) were not remotely appreciated in their time as much as they are now.
Yeah, getting your wire cutter arc-welded to the cable because you accidentally touched it to both ends of a LiPo is... fun.
The move to Chicago was an early indication of bad decision-making.
The minute my French Press tells me I need to perform an update before pressing, I'm done. With everything.
I can. I love all sorts of preparations, and really enjoy the broad range of flavor profiles out there. I only drink instant coffee when I'm staying at somebody's house. I don't insult their hospitality and drink it.

For many people, the cost (both labor and monetary) of "good" coffee doesn't come with a corresponding increase in their enjoyment. You won't change their mind.
That seems like it should be illegal. Even if the commercial tabs were copyrighted, I wouldn't think they could take someone's work product without recompense. Unless maybe ownership/licensing went to OLGA on submission and they were part of damages?

> WebSockets are an outdated technology deemed dead thanks to the ietf not adding HTTP/2 support

This is the first sentence, and I’m dubious - not about the lack of HTTP/2 but that WebSockets are dead, because I’ve never heard this until now. Is this really the case?
> Another major benefit of WebSockets is that you can control the exact timing of RPCs and subscriptions without having to worry about race conditions when the server expects to receive actions in a specific order.

This is not related to GraphQL.

> Also, SSEs add a lot of overhead because you need to authenticate each SSE channel independently (unlike with WebSockets where you only need authenticate a socket once at the beginning)

I wouldn't consider this a lot of overhead. You're re-using an open TCP connection. You have to send a token which needs to be validated, sure. That's a sub millisecond overhead.

> In general, SSE authentication is tricky and forces you to rely on cookies

You can send a token as query parameter. Using TLS this is no different than a Header.

> Moreover, the lack of control over the lifecycle of the SSE connection makes it difficult to coordinate recovery from network or server failure/restart; a common problem happens when your server crashes and then all the SSE event sources try to reconnect immediately at the same time and this DDoSes your server again, then the reboot and crash cycle repeats indefinitely... With WebSockets, you can control the reconnect algorithm to add exponential backoff (can be customized to your exact requirements).

The EventSource API allows you to close the connection at any time. It will automatically reconnect which I consider a feature. There's also a "onopen" and "onerror" callback. You can use these to control reconnect behaviour and implement an exponential backoff strategy.

I don't see the difference between WebSockets and SSE in case of a server Crash. Both will reconnect and DDos the server.

> SSEs are not a practical abstraction IMO. It's sad that people don't realize how good the WebSocket standard is. It's good because it's simple; it's also why it's so flexible. WebSockets covers more use cases.

You're absolutely right. However, we don't need this flexibility for GraphQL Subscriptions.

I feel like what you're saying makes sense in general. However, in the use case of GraphQL Subscriptions I don't see advantages using WebSockets over SSE.
Smart phones are not personal computers and the kind of dumb phones around in that year weren’t even smart enough to be computing devices. My phone back then was “amazing” because it had an inbuilt FM tuner AND supported custom ring tones (think PC speaker quality rather than MP3s). I think I could store a maximum of 50 text messages too and that felt like a lot.

It’s sometimes hard to believe how young smart phones (and in fact portable mobile phones in general) are by just how much we now depend on them and take them for granted.
I'm glad to see albums like The Cure's Disintegration move up, but the Beatles Sgt Peppers clearly needs to be 1 or 2. It's albums that go beyond just being random songs and provide such an influence that deserve to be near the top.
Technical question: Can it has also a lot of ice mixed with some rock? This can explain a density similar to 917kg/m^3

Non technical question: If the interior has a rubble pile structure, can we blow up it like in Armageddon?
I think of it more as an efficiency argument. Does being self aware help with survival? For the sea slug, probably not, for other (higher level) organisms maybe.

Is a pareto frontier of awareness? Trading off the increased cognitive ability it likely supplies with the increased energy consumption it requires. Whats interesting about some of these findings is, in addition to of course the pure science of it, that self-awareness may offer more benefits than previously thought.

This could have implications beyond biological understanding, perhaps in building AI agents for example.
I don't see how. Stuxnet was able to remotely infect windows machines over the internet and local network while this is a purely physically local attack.
I understand why that is your goal. What I don't understand is how you can credibly claim you offer something more valuable.

To actively hire at less than market range is to tacitly admit (whether intentionally or not) that you neither can afford nor adequately deploy the difference you're paying for. If that is the case, what kind of a message do you think that sends me about your serviceable obtainable market and your margins, your data quality, your growth, and how well you'll achieve competitive differentiation against your incumbents?

Don't take this the wrong way, but it almost appears as if you have resigned towards not being #1 in the space.
Yes and no, at least for the next 5 or so years the cut will be much less, but lock-in will come, they already tried to go there before.

That is except if the US court messes up in the ethic vs. Apple case giving Microsoft a implicit green lighting for such a thing.

It is sorted by the number of people who named the artist as one of their favorites.

I also would have expected Jimi Hendrix to be more popular then the Twenty One Pilots. But looking at Google Trends seems to confirm that the Twenty One Pilots have been on top over the last years:

or they can just leave it upto the judgement of masses and just rank on album sales(probably streams now).

You are right and that it is hard for any ranking like this to be objective. If I remove my bias for old albums and just look at two of the more accessible new entrants in the list, Taylor Swift's Red and Arctic Monkey's AM. AM was generally rated much better and even I would have personally rated it higher.

Downscaled version is possible with the quantum computers of today, if that's what you mean.

when cancel culture first became a thing, I too found it very worrying. surely there is a better way of accomplishing these goals, I thought. eventually, I came to the conclusion that this is probably the best way for these people to express their frustration. it's basically just a boycott. the only reason it has any real power is because a bunch of people are getting together and threatening to vote with their wallet. they are using the tools provided by capitalism the way they are meant to be used. I might not always like the outcome, but of the available options, this is probably my favorite technique for forcing organizations to make changes. when people are this upset, the alternatives are much worse: enforcement action from the government, civil unrest, direct violence, etc.

if you still believe in the values of liberalism, you have to consider methods and goals separately. while I might not always agree with the goals, I can't really fault the method. even if you do think cancel culture is terrible, how would you stop it? you can't make it illegal for people to take their business elsewhere.
Yeah. Edge would be much more of an indicator if they hadn't just opted for a repackaging/repurposing of an available cross-platform engine. Nontrivial work, I'm sure, to port the Edge-specific parts of New Edge, but scarcely comparable to porting a complete legacy codebase.
Right! Distribution of apps is about where the user lives, and that's Windows. Devs will be able to live in Linux and be happy and their apps will simply work in Windows and users don't care. It's win-win-win for devs, users, and MS.
Not really a snob either way, but I'll take that bet for coffee. Probably for wine, too.
I think the forced U2 songs on iTunes really hit their reputation a lot.
Frankly speaking, it'd be a better argument that he was "canceled" if he hadn't gotten funding at all. If this is what "being canceled" means, that your browser (I.e. commodity software in a mature marketplace where everyone gives it away for free) still gets funded then maybe it's not actually a meaningful harm to begin with.

Bitmovin (YC S15) Is Hiring a Senior Product Manager for Video Player
Let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater. I'd really appreciate if my electric kettle could send me a notification when it's done, because waiting for it to boil is three to five minutes I could be spending e.g. listening to the music with my headphones on.

Same applies to other household appliances: the dishwasher, the oven, the washing machine. All I want is to have a set of icons in my computer's tray that change color when a given device is done. This would let me stop scheduling life around the machines, or having to keep the doors to the home office open and headphones off to hear the various beeps. Instead, I could set them to do the work, and go back to doing my stuff fully focused.

In a sane world where tech companies practice anything resembling solid engineering, this would not require the devices to have an Internet connection. Working over LAN with standardized (and already existing) protocols is all that's required. In this world, I don't have any of the conveniences described above, because I'm not crazy or gullible enough to buy an IoT appliance.
I agree with pretty much all your points, and for me I use these lists to figure out what I have missed and what I ought to go listen to. Rolling Stone barely has any kind of grasp on the breadth of music. It’s part of an industry that seems to be surviving on reissues and super deluxe box sets and vinyl profit margins, it’s a cultural magazine but more a like dictionary that is way behind the language, or a driver fixated on the rear-view mirror.
If your website is HTTP/2 all the way, do you really want to add WebSockets which force the browser to initiate another TCP connection? The EventSource or Streams API can easily replace WebSockets for most use cases.
Only with perfect information, and even then markets are NP-complete.

I’d like to see somebody create a real paper newspaper that mimics what they have become today.

I’d imagine you’d start with the newspaper as it was 20 years ago: newsprint with some black text on it. Then you’d overlay some opaque paper over that with some text in it that said, “give us your address or phone number so we can contact you for breaking news”. Instead of a close button it would be something that people would have to tear off each page of the paper.

That’s not all though. Each paper would come with an actual person who would sit behind you and quietly take meticulous notes on which articles you read and how you reacted to them. That person would quietly leave with the notes, take it back to HQ, and tabulate which articles people engaged with the most. Over time the content with the lowest engagement would be trimmed and those journalists fired.

This is the world we live in today.

Even if it is usable without a manual, adjusting a timer switch hidden behind the couch using its LCD display and buttons is a lot less comfortable than using an app, if you do it frequently enough.

There are things where IoT was added to make them appear more modern, and things where it actually makes sense.

For the microwave, for example, I'd argue IoT would still be the wrong choice, because figuring out the magic buttons for setting the time twice a year is less work than dealing with the overhead of IoT (updating their app, managing the account when it breaks, etc.).
Illmatic (Nas, 1994) jumping 358 spots is crazy.
To be fair, if you live in California and make $220K/yr, your marginal tax rate on salary is 46% (35% federal + 9.3% state + 1.45% medicare)
If you allow flexibility on such a matter, people will come to expect it. Some will be doing things where the flexibility would be permissible, but a lot would go further and be surprised that flexibility cannot be extended to them. It's a very slippery slope, and doesn't really seem feasible to implement.
Ask HN: Best Privacy/Tracking/Bubbling FAQ
Any recommendations on a concise privacy focused primer for non-technical people that conveys the dystopian landscape in tech? Something that conveys the risks/nefarious practices around ISP/social media/free email/search/third party tracking/bubbling/government mass surveillance etc.

I’m constantly amazed by lack of knowledge people have on the subject that I would otherwise consider smart/knowledgeable in most areas (e.g. a 30 something year old doctor friend who thought by putting chrome in incognito mode meant no-one knew about his web browsing habits - as opposed to knowing that both google and his ISP both were tracking this)

As opposed to coming off as proselytizing or wearing a tin foil - hat being able to point people to a resource to get them up to speed (and dig deeper if necessary) on what’s really going on out there...the internet equivalent of a pamphlet on the dangers of smoking or something
Those two differences are a pretty harsh judgement on the wisdom of the crowd (or they should tell you you aren't using an especially culturally diverse crowd).

More sympathetically, Album vs Band seems like a confounding factor... the Beach Boys released some astonishing albums, but their overall standing as a band has to also consider the drivel they released. OTOH, Linkin Park are enormously popular as a band, but (in my memory as an alt-rock obsessed teenager in the 00's) none of their albums really broke the surface (relative to the ludicrous levels of play their singles got).
Now try to accomplish the same speeds running on the bare metal, on a period correct Pentium 3 900 MHz with 256MB of RAM, and a spinning hard disk.
