I, for one, welcome our new censoring overlords.
That's what we have here in France, which led to a right vs far-right second round in 2002, from which the traditional left never really recovered.
I do not think so. I think this post and what happened to Jeremy is the excellent example of how bad this CoCs really are. Presume guilty until proven otherwise? Use intentionally vague terms so that anybody can be put through this process? I mean seriously, this is exactly how witch-hunts worked in the "dark ages". Anyways, I think Jeremy responded very well and he is not going to waste his time on this muppet show anymore. This is what the silent majority has to do to get rid of these CoC people.
I live in Massachusetts and had not heard a whole lot about this issue until I got the ballot. I read the proposal and I was a little confused why it's a better system, and it's a lot more complicated than "every person gets 1 vote and whoever gets the most votes wins". RCV feels similar to the Electoral College, a system made with good intentions but is so complicated that it's gameable.
That’s what this whole argument is about, what the law should be.
I may be fuzzy on this, it's been a long time. But isn't by-name a special case of passing a function? (And then referencing the parameter in the called procedure invokes the function.)

I learned that about postgres collations and case sensitivity about 6 years back, and it was within 3 months of my first heavy use of postgres. So I wonder if this person was just experiencing their first usage of postgres too? And I've used relational databases for more than 25 years.
What does have great support? Content-Encoding works great from server -> client, but not the other way around, in my experience. That's the problem I'm discussing. It's theoretically possible to support.

See this stackoverflow question for one brief discussion: https://stackoverflow.com/q/20507007

I've looked around for this feature and rarely found it to be supported... but it's also rarely discussed.
Yep! The internal libs at our company look very very similar.

You can also do fun middleware things like rate limiting and ACLs, but I haven't seen those in the wild.

If somebody has links to examples those, please share. :)
Years ago I applied for a major American company. When I went to the interview it was two guys asking me the questions. They made a sexist joke and were losing it with laughter, and I felt obligated to join in. And because I did, I got the job. So it has only opened doors and opportunities for me.
Yeah I think I learned this the hard way: even making DB columns can be a premature optimization.
We're really excited to bring machine learning to more people and make it more accessible. What we are most excited about is empowering people to create custom machine learning models for specific and personal use-cases and solve problems in new and unique ways
I agree with everything you say here.

At least in the State of WA, I think prosecutors have qualified immunity and can be sued or charged for Brady violations.

I think one of the biggest 'frauds' is the churn in the lower courts. It often seems like judges, clerks, public defenders, and prosecutors are pretending they are doing something helpful or important while the repeat defendants think of the whole situation as a joke.

I get a kick out of seeing judges sternly reprimanding attorneys or defendants for being 10 minutes late to the start of a cattle call hearing while they must know the entire enterprise is meaningless kabuki theater.
I would bet it on Ethereum instead of bitcoin.
Excuse me sir, you've committed a thought crime for not following propaganda guidelines on independent thought and expression.
You can read our privacy policy, but more than that, you could use any sort of network traffic visualizer to see that we are not lying we are not in the business of selling data, we are in the business of making machine learning accessible to everyone.
In the console video game world, there was a period of time when you either had an Xbox or a PlayStation, but everyone also had a Nintendo Wii as their second system. Some very casual gamers only had a Wii.

It's not hard to imagine a local election where both the DNC and the GOP put forth lackluster, hyper-polarizing candidates, and a reasonable third party candidate who's everyone's #2 pick wins.

It's not so much that these other systems would enable third party candidates to win, it's that they would reward less polarizing candidates with more broad appeal.
Thanks for sharing the detailed video and benchmarks. Always good to see more in-depth content like this.

Your title would make more sense if you clarified that this was 5 x 1GBps ethernet connections, not literally a 5GBASE-T system.

Ask HN: Personal web history referral graph with clustering
When doing research or just navigating I find myself opening multiple tabs that I wan't to deep dive in later but never have the time to. This leads to leaving multiple tabs open in my browser which I eventually group in different windows but still leave untouched. After some days/weeks I sometimes save each "Research Session" window in a Session using FFs Tab Session Manager extension. However, the flow of that research session is lost.

Is there any extension or tool with which one can visualize the web history as a graph, seeing which site lead to which and maybe clustering nodes by topic?

How do you personally keep track of such sessions? I am too lazy to transfer the knowledge from those sites to some knowledge base or to use bookmarks with categories (I like the idea of being aware of the referral that brought me to a particular site).
It’s been passed to the board of directors to investigate further. I would expect to hear more once they’ve completed their investigation.
People start using them to thought-police people.

Yes, a Code of Conduct is a good way to say no to harrasment, racism and stuff that's generally frowned upon.

But, as this case proves, they devolve too easily into thought police level crap, where the "Code" becomes vague and filled with useless buzzwords, that could be construed to fit any situation someone disagrees with.

And with the current cancel culture, there is a real, verifiable threat to people's livelihood when they are judged by Twitter Court for breaking a CoC.
Thanks! We hope the GitHub bootstraps help make it even easier to train a custom machine learning model and ship it in an app.
I still think it’s true about the blog site too

I am certainly also subject to anti-collusion legislation.

Not since 2017.
Both your and the other counterexample are talking about something other than nonpartisan ballotting, though. I mean, yes, if you have a third party candidate in isolation then whoever that third party is going to "steal" more votes from is going to oppose it.

So democrats would oppose a Green or other progressive candidate in (most races in) New York, sure. That's just self-interest. But for the same reason they'd clearly welcome a libertarian entrant. That's not responsive to the discussion.

The claim upthread was that "both" parties oppose ranked choice voting. And that's simply not true.
If you need a CoC to get rid of someone who harasses others what you have is a deeper problem
I think the Senate should be entirely determined by proportional representation. Leaving everything else the same, it would make a massive difference in how much people feel the government represents them. The drawback is that we would have at least three Q Anon Senators, but I'm pretty sure we're going to get that anyway.
Thanks for your suggestions here. We are always looking at ways to improve Lobe, and the feedback loop of how to improve your model is one of the most important ones for us.
Whenever I see things like this, it always makes me think out of all the problems we have right now in the world do we really need to spend time in trivial things like this?
There is a pico8 emulator that lets you play games on some handheld console and I understand that an Android version is in development.

Simple answer: The math says so https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4FXLQoLDBA

Longer answer: cardinal systems (the generalized form that approval is part of) is able to capture more information about voter preference. It is easiest to see this with something like range voting. You may be familiar with a question like "Do you agree or disagree with x statement?: strongly disagree, disagree, neutral, agree, strongly agree." That is range. Approval would be "Do you agree or disagree with x statement?: Disagree, agree". Conversely FPTP would present you many statements and you have to pick the one you agree with the most, even though you may agree with many in the list. You can probably see here that you are actually able to capture a fair amount of preference information through this, thus allowing to elect representatives that more accurately represent the population as a whole.

Spooked by Halloween Github timeline
who else was spooked by today's github timeline?
Part of the reason may be the advent of online. It is much easier to offend people online than in person for several reasons:
1. You do the offending in public
2. You can not get and give immediate feedback
on how what you're saying affects your counter-part
3. What you say is carved in stone
The first thing I did when I opened the article was to search for viridis. It is in there, but in a sidebar. As others have pointed out, it's weird to make such a big deal about the same sort of thinking which has been done quite well previously, and then bury it in your notes.

There was a pretty lively discussion of this issue yesterday: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24926214

...specifically under what is currently the top comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24927123
I too dislike code of conduct type of stuff, but more along the reasoning you mentioned. I dislike that they are even needed in the first place. The fact that you have to be told to not belittle, harass, abuse, etc another user/participant/person is just difficult to understand.
I'm not the OP but:

- There is no presumption of innocence.

- There are no formal rights of an accused.

- There is no clear delineation of what constitutes a violation.

- There is no right to confront those making an allegation.

- There are no negative consequences for making a false allegation.

- All of which leads to a system whereby people are subjected to ostracism and official censure for violating unwritten rules, all without proof. A person can find their life ruined merely by saying the wrong thing or in the wrong tone, all while being told that the system is just and fair and seeking to protect the vulnerable. It is dishonest, it is gaslighting, and it is frankly Soviet.

I am a criminal defense attorney with experience in personnel law. I know first hand how important the presumption of innocence is, and I know first hand how disastrous these personnel management "policies" can be.
I'm on my phone, but here is a quote from the ACLU[1]:

> Instances of institutions and individuals claiming a right to discriminate in the name of religion are not new. In the 1960s, we saw objections to laws requiring integration in restaurants because of sincerely held beliefs that God wanted the races to be separate. We saw religiously affiliated universities refuse to admit students who engaged in interracial dating. In those cases, we recognized that requiring integration was not about violating religious liberty; it was about ensuring fairness. It is no different today.

This is a good write up about religion and Loving v. Virginia[2].

Roughly: Blockchains primary attribute is that they make everything public and attributed and it thus can be validated. Making everything public is the opposite of what we want to do with voting.

Pygame sounds cool. All I want to know is what platforms does it support, suprised they dont list that anywhere easy to find.

This blog based project home page obscures the relevant in favor of the recent.

Found the relevance on the About page.

"Pygame is highly portable and runs on nearly every platform and operating system."

Would appreciate a list but Ok.

Oh snap here we go:

"Truly portable. Supports Linux (pygame comes with most main stream linux distributions), Windows (95, 98, ME, 2000, XP, Vista, 64-bit Windows, etc), Windows CE, BeOS, MacOS, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, BSD/OS, Solaris, IRIX, and QNX. The code contains support for AmigaOS, Dreamcast, Atari, AIX, OSF/Tru64, RISC OS, SymbianOS and OS/2, but these are not officially supported. You can use it on hand held devices, game consoles and the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) computer."

Wonder if it supports an HTML player?
You said that from the perspective of a falling observer, they never see themselves cross the event horizon. That's not right. The falling observer certainly will see themselves cross the event horizon. In their frame of reference, time flows normally. For smaller black holes, they may get spaghettified, but for larger ones, crossing event horizon will be an unremarkable occurrence.
I'm on the Label page of the app and it's asking for five images, but I don't have any... could you please give a few example sets of images, e.g. drinking/not drinking, holding up # of fingers, etc, so I don't have to create the images myself?
+1000. Let this become a worldwide trend!

Any system which takes more than 1 bit of input (I'm thinking of the top-two runoff system we have in Brazil, but hopefully the analogy is understandable) will generate a result with much higher fidelity. And, who knows, once we get there, we can try progressively shifting the focus of the election from candidates to their policies, which would help remove the most perverse incentives in the system.
Based on data we have, fusion seems unlikely to be economically viable for a long time even if it’s technically viable. Various advancements like better superconductors

At least after talking with people in the field the reactor design seems like the least important problem.
The actors responsable are doing an all out attack to maximize profits as US Large corps and military are currently targeting their networks to prevent election tampering. These botnet networks have prooven difficult to disrupt even fort hem. This is a profit maximization effort for them and probably one they'll do right before folding and disappearing as the last time hosptials and police were directly targeted national governments began disappearing the perpitrators.

What'd be heartless is if the malware, such as the ryuk ransomware in December of 2019, had a bug in it that prevented the decryption key from working and all it did was garble and trash data.

Be forwarned, a few groups deploying ransomware are on sanctions lists which carries direct liability if you pay them. If you're the IT staff, make the CFO\CEO pay them and wash your hands of it.
We have a JSON data store at Sanity.io where you update your data by sending in a transaction script which is at a quite high level ("increment karma by 5"). While these scripts explain your intention well, they are a bit of a hassle to work with internally since the language is so rich. We therefore wanted (what we've called) an effect format. The effect format would explain what actually happened when applying the transaction: "Set karma to 183". Mendoza is what we ended up with. The Mendoza patches are much easier to work with from a decoder's point of view.

As a side effect, we've also been able to use the Mendoza format for tracking changes in documents. The JavaScript implementation supports replaying the patches while maintaining information about where each part of the document was introduced. We use this in our Review Changes feature so that you're able to see exactly who introduced a change (in a JSON document!): https://www.sanity.io/blog/review-changes
The question of course is what constitutes an "Agreement or Compact" under constitutional terms. SCOTUS held in Virginia v Tennessee that an agreement is something that increases the power of a state in some fashion. The popular vote compact here may not meet that threshold.

For comparison, note that a lot of what we think of as "treaties" (which require advice and consent of the Senate) aren't actually treaties per the constitutional interpretation, but done only with executive privilege.
I'm not sure how you can accuse me of both scare quoting, and actual quoting the same word at the same time.

And he has listed in his contract that he can publish without editorial oversight. The emails from the editor are very clearly are drawing a hard line that certain themes won't be publishable, in contrast to his contractual rights. Him taking offense to that is the basis for them claiming that he's having a "tantrum".

It's very clearly about contracts.

They say "Because of the missteps of this committee, we have asked the NumFOCUS Board of Directors to take over the work of the committee", yet the 7-person board of directors overlaps with the 4-person code of conduct committee.

The timing is definitely suspicious for the laptop contents to be released, but as for Bobulinski, I think his timing came down to two things:

1) He only had part of the picture to begin with. It was the release of some of the laptop's contents that made it clear (in his mind) that Joe Biden was in fact receiving bribes from foreign governments through his son.

2) Given his own involvement in Sinohawk, the leap to portraying the emails as part of "Russian disinformation" cast a shadow over his own reputation, and he asked the Biden campaign to issue a retraction of that characterization. I think many people naturally don't want to be involved in controversies like this because of the personal costs, but he felt it was necessary in part to protect his own reputation.
Usually after Googling with the letters and some context I can figure out most acronyms but I've failed on this one. What's TFA?
> The process has left me shattered, and I won’t be able to accept any speaking requests for the foreseeable future.

In regards to CoCs, sometimes this snowflake mentality seems to go hand in hand, because they are tailored to the most fragile of sensibilities, which is a Bad Thing(tm). I'm not sure how this "shatters" someone or what that even means (not trying to attack here, as it just doesn't make any sense).

- Discriminatory jokes and language
- Personal insults, especially those using racist or sexist terms
- Advocating for, or encouraging, any of the above behavior

These are largely subjective, so why bother caring about what you might have said to set someone off?

So what if you won't take up speaking engagement requests? Duh. As we know that these CoCs are ridiculous and someone might want to seriously consider having nothing to do with organizations that utilize them.

He can post up talks on Youtube if he wants to be heard, especially now.

TL;DR Jeremy did a talk and it turned out strangely so nothing's lost here.
How else would you codify what is and what isn't acceptable behaviour?

Is it just arbitrary? Do you just depend on more people enforcing their views out to stop harassment? If so, then why not codify it?
This is only a mail sending service which doesn't have the lock-in or monopoly of Facebook or Twitter. If you get banned, you can just go to MailJetGun or something else. So I think it's fine for them to impose whatever stupid rules they like. The free market actually exists here.
No worries!

I have no problem with the paper authors. Most of the authors on the paper come from neurosurgery/neurology, and I don't doubt for one second that they have a strong grasp of "I can mess with the human brain in these ways and I'll get these behaviors". They shouldn't be expected to know everything we've ever looked at for time in the brain.

I am frustrated at one of the ways science journalism tends to report on neuroscience. I think they want to do it like they do physics, and it affects how people outside the field think. Rather than considering the brain as a complex system, we're looking for the Jennifer Anniston neuron, or time cells, or some single component that explains consciousness, much like we looked for the "god particle" (Higgs) or gravitational waves. It's not a great way to look at things.

My original comment on fragmentation is just my own opinion. Maybe it's not as much of a barrier as I think it is.
Do you think it’s possible to empathize with people who are harassed, or experience harassment, and oppose codes of conduct? Assume that empathy includes caring about protecting people.
me too, I was to say that this is the greatest title ever for a post about medium, now that I see its not I'm stealing it
I know several people look at the 3090 for ML use, due to its extra RAM. Hobbyists, not companies.

Do you mean "enterprise ML"? Like, if I ran an ML company I wouldn't be looking at these cards?
>A CoC is exactly as effective as the leadership that writes & enforces it.

And the sorts of people who try to implement CoCs and get on enforcement boards are almost invariably the sort of busybodies that see it as a club to beat their enemies with, which is why I'm opposed to them.
Are you saying that "scale of spam" is a strawman? I'm stuck on this issue, because GP used the term "internet feature", and the OP claims that they can be abused: reductively this becomes, "Are links good or bad?"
