Rayiner is one of the best commenters on the site. He routinely takes the time to write paragraphs of background to support his views, which are well-informed --- he's an appellate court litigator with an engineering background --- and interesting enough that they're routinely downvoted. I've never seen him complain about that, or about HN moderation. We need 100 more of him (ideally in a variety of ideological flavors).

I have no idea who 's9w is, but I've never seen Rayiner post the three word comment "that's a lie", so I object to the comparison.
While a profound breakthrough, we’ll be creating, with luck, an animal that is what we are: one with consciousness. Which also means one with a lot of mental health issues, and other issues. (Disoriented, seeking identification, cognitive biases, ignorant yet certain, etc). Not bad, just is what it is. I think it’s important, though, for nature, to let it struggle for life like the rest of us, and care for it and learn from it. It, after all, is a part of life. If we’re in the ballpark that nature created sapiens, and we are thus a part of nature, and thus nature had a hand in this. The ethical thing to do is to let it become part of our “Data-Information-Knowledge-Wisdom library of life” sooner, rather than later. After all, as many have already said, it’s inevitable. And I agree.

BUCHAREST, ROMANIA—Dozens of vulnerable men and boys were kidnapped, chained, whipped, fed scraps and forced to work or fight each other for entertainment over an eight-year period in rural southern Romania, prosecutors said Wednesday.

Three men and two boys aged between 10 and 12 were found chained up and were rescued by police Wednesday in the mountain town of Berevoiesti during searches at the homes of suspects — members of an extended Roma family. Organized-crime prosecutors said the investigation involves some 90 suspects who they say exploited around 65 people with physical and mental disabilities or who were very poor, making them log wood, beg or look after animals.

It probably was more expensive to use an helicopter;Not only that but people over-estimate the "dangers" of a(n european) highway.

If you have good acoustics/light signalling you can drive pretty fast and safe with a capable car, so in the case of a lamborghini police car the only "danger" was the human factor of the driver. An error during a helicopter flight is equally if not more dangerous.People also forget this period it is very foggy across all Europe.However I agree a helicopter would have been more appropriate, but maybe some circumstances prevented that.
I wonder what would be the maximum distance where a Lamborghini is actually faster than a helicopter (assuming there's almost no traffic e.g. at night).
It's not an alternative opinion, that's the prevailing concensus
He's a developer who's been around for a while and has done some particularly great things so far. There has to probably be some weight in what he says.
I think everyone should do it like Doom did with the difficulty settings.
One additional thought on advice that I didn't read in Alexey's piece:

- the best advice, in most domains, is never given freely or publicly, so if you are seeking advice, seek it in private

- the best advice tends to have pain associated with it for the recipient (Alexey notes this in section 4)

- the best advice-givers are aware of the effect that giving their advice would have on a typical recipient

- the best advice-givers will tell white-lies privately, even to people they love and respect, if the advice-seekers don't send ultra-clear ultra-proactive signals that they will not be hurt by the advice they seek

- the best advice tends to give you a new "lens" or "perspective" through which to view the world, unlocking second- and third-order insights of your own

- sometimes you really have made a mess of things, and no amount of "advice" can save you from the necessary task of working through all that mess

This is all the same thought, just expressed 6 different ways.
> Even if you had lights on, you’d come up on people so quickly they wouldn’t be able to get over fast enough.

> "Linux is more flexible and customizable."
> "Linux gives you more control over your computer."
> Stop it.

I think the above reasons explain this better rather than the deep dive the article tries to accomplish.

We're talking about preferences here. If I prefer Linux I don't need an explanation. Personally I like the lesser restrictions (Both Windows and Mac are locking down more and more) and the higher customisation it offers.

But the thing about preferences is that they are largely a feeling. Therefore reasons don't have to be concise or defined scientifically. One example: I hate the way Windows 10 forces me to update whenever it wants, and doesn't allow me to turn off telemetry. Neither of those things will actually affect me very much: I would usually update within the required timeframe anyway and the telemetry is minimal.

However it is the feeling of increased corporate control over my machine, in a time where corporate surveillance is already rampant that makes me hate this.

So objectively these arguments are hardly valid but still I feel better moving to Linux (or rather: FreeBSD) as a daily driver. That's ok as it is my preference :)

PS: I use pretty much all platforms every day for various reasons
No browser supports DANE, or has any plan to do so; in fact, Chrome tried supporting DANE, and stopped.
"Only 17%" seems like a weird way to phrase it. That is a shockingly high percentage for something like this.

He's wrong. There's no such thing as a CRUD developer. No one would pay someone just to make essentially GUIs for the database tables. Also CRUD is ancient history, webapps are all interactive react now. CSS is hard. Also AI-generated CRUD or even CSS would be hilarious, I want to see that.
It didn't say if the thieves stole other things, I suppose they probably did steal other stuff as well as this, then figure out when they were going to sell things - huh we can't sell this stuff right now, let's keep it for later.
> If you didn't want to stoke internet drama, the thing to do would have been not to submit it to HN in the first place

One of the most important phenomena in tech, especially at the large-scale system (technical) & open source (social) levels, is emergent behavior: your complex system will likely react in ways you'd never expect. The HN guidelines keep this in mind and are designed to inspire curiosity and humility.

However, the quoted moderator narrative appears to pin the blame on the OP; there's a non-zero affect of "you should have know better."

Should he? A ton of posts like these get squashed or ignored, some much less thoughtful ones get celebrated, and the attitude towards big companies like Facebook or Google has changed over the years. COVID has additionally made people behave in unexpected ways. It's really hard to predict the reaction of the crowd these days.

I have been deeply disappointed with the HN moderation in the past few months. At the very least, a "you should have known better" message should be delivered in private and not posted as conspicuously as this one.
> These days, Windows automatically installs firmware updates as well.

This happened to me. On a (primarily) Linux PC, I was having trouble with a game via Wine/Proton and thought I'd give Win10 a shot.

Installed Win10 to a separate HDD, activated it, and (completely) disconnected it from the Net. Worked fine for a few days (weeks?) but then one day it announced it was installing a BIOS update. Without asking. And no way to Cancel that or somehow tell it to "DO NOT DO THIS".

Note - At no point had it had an internet connection after it was activated. So the BIOS update must have been downloaded and scheduled at that time.

This totally trashed my main Linux install, which uses full disk encryption and custom MOK certificates for booting.

Not Happy.

That being said, I have reasonable backups. So it was more of an incredulous PITA and reminder that "MS can go fuck themselves", than a data loss event.

Creationists are convinced by stories, not facts.
This is uncharitable. The comment was in response to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25105426, which specifically mentioned employee contributions: "Still, his political spending remains almost entirely partisan. Koch Industries’ PAC and employees donated $2.8 million in the 2020 campaign cycle to Republican candidates and $221,000 to Democratic candidates, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.". If Koch Industries employee donation bias is discussion worthy, so should be BigTech employee donation bias, which is even more strident.

Granted, the original article and the comment which cites it mixes PAC + employee. For the purposes of identifying political bias in an organization though, the employee donations are quite a bit more illuminating. PAC donations are more strategic investments in incumbents, thus tend so be roughly 50-50 in the current political landscape: "A company’s PAC donations have less to do with supporting a specific party than with accessing those in power. Corporate PACs donate the vast majority — 90 percent in the last midterm — of their money to incumbent candidates, who are much more likely to be elected than challengers. Tech companies are no different."

For completeness, here is Googles PAC + employee donation breakdown: 87% D, 13% R. On par with the partisanism of Koch Industries, which even Charles Koch decries as a mistake. I don't have the data to split KI PAC vs. KI employee donations.

haha yep, that's about the time I was hanging out on there, although I mostly remember hanging out in quake gaming channels, #skaters on efnet, maybe a few others. It was a fun time because due to the slight obstacle of figuring out how to get online, there was a certain exclusiveness to it. Plus it was the first time I had ever used something like that other than AOL chatrooms (which I think were around at the time of the aol cdrom you would install)

edit: forgot there was #undernet too.. dang, what a fun time. I remember there were a bunch of other servers on top of those but I can't remember them
I really like this because of the increased privacy (apple doesn't know which apps you run) as well as the better error mode. If their servers go down, the worst that can happen is that an update of the revocation list fails, which means they can't get new revocations out to people. But it's not that apps won't start any more.
I was using windows for years, both in work and at home. It never ever break up that often for me. Serious question: what is breaking up that often for all? I mean, which part of the system, what it does when it breaks?
This makes me worry about the amount of military gear that's been given to the US police force. Given the tools, they will find a use.
> Great software engineers I've known seem to have complete command of all of the ideas, tools, and techniques. They understand their tools "all the way down to the metal" and all the way "up to the esthetics". You can see great people in all crafts (like woodworking).

Do people like this exist today? I mean, the complexity at every level in the stack seems to have grown exponentially(maybe?) for decades. Are there engineers who are experts covering every layer across modern hardware architecture, CPU instruction sets, modern operating system architecture, cybersecurity, networking protocols, web technology, database systems, file systems, cloud infrastructure, quality control, Data Science, AI, AR, VR, Machine learning, UI framework design, wireless interfaces, etc. And that's all before you even consider the non-technical skills of software engineering. The bar moves higher every day and I'm not sure this level of expertise is achievable/maintainable.
"problems" have quite a wide spectrum. For some people, they perceive their problem to be that they don't smell the way they want to smell, or the way they think other people want them to smell. An ad that says "this smell water smells the way you want to smell" will help solve their problem.

In this sense, to "solve" advertising, you can't just avoid advertising things that don't solve problems, you need to address the underlying causes for the perception of countless problems that may or may not actually be relevant/rational etc.
At least in Googles case you can disable it.

Saying “you’re wrong” is not the same as saying “you don’t know anything about this topic”. Grandparent did the former; you’re accusing them of doing the latter.

Everybody can be wrong about something, no matter how smart / credentialed / experienced they are.
> When you have a two-party system, you get binary outcomes - ie. divisiveness.

The two-party system problem seems to be a consequence of "first-past-the-post" voting.

For example, some posters in reddit's /r/conservative were very insistent in attacking libertarian voters, pinning on them the responsibility of Trump's election loss. Their rationale was that they felt libertarian voters threw their vote away by voting on a candidate who had no chances of winning, thus robbing their candidate of support that they felt he would otherwise have if no libertarian candidate ran for president.

Consequently, they argued that the only rational approach to the elections would be if all like-minded voters concentrated their vote on not-so-good-but-popular somewhat like-minded candidate so that they could have at least a chance of electing someone who, even though might not be the best candidate in the voter's opinion, was closer to support some of their views.
The dish has a phased array antena already, so it is already tracking the satellites. Likely such approach, unless integrated in a bigger dish of some kind to increase signal to noise ratio, already is much more precise and faster than any physical moving mechanism.
> Places are doing hard lockdowns and it is working.

Russia isn't doing "hard" lockdowns. I know because I have relatives there. Schools are open. Airlines are flying. Where there are restrictions, they are pretty mild.

For that matter Sweden, which has _no_ lockdowns still has 150 deaths per million less than the United States. Italy, which had severe lockdowns, has a comparable number of deaths per million (from which it follows lockdowns aren't "working" as well as you imply unless you catch the spread very early and are able to close the borders a-la NZ).

The difference is mostly how deaths are counted, not the CFR per se. If you only count people dying of COVID as a primary cause, you get Russia/Iran number. If you count people run over by a bus who also had COVID, you get the US rate. Which one is better is up for debate, the point is you can't compare if you don't count the same way, nor can you even tell the CFR accurately if you count deaths where COVID was merely present, but did not cause the death per se.
Just a suggestion on popularizing: There are a few popular people who crosspost to various sites beyond Twitter. Maybe you could find out what solution they use to cross post and write a nostr plug-in. This way nostr could quickly gain the following it deserves.
No. You can get similar language-level benefits from languages with stronger ecosystems around web-relevant technologies. For example, F# is very close to Ocaml, but has a healthier ecosystem for web stuff.
Interesting

To add to that, I just found out that Chrome "accidentally" started logging every activity I do on chrome. Every one . Of course I was never asked consent for this

That would actually be a pretty fun project to build, AI generated CSS, HTML and MVC.

What he meant by CRUD devs was, developers whose job is just to build stuff like, a contact information page, or basically anything that does CRUD operations. He for some reason considers only `input->compute->output` as the correct paradigm which also aligns with his jalbreaking stuff and what he's doing at comma.ai now.
I disagree. Take the fashion industry for example. There is zero reason to replace clothing as quickly as we tend to. Almost all of the demand is produced by ads. Or take cars, very few people need cars of the size that they end up buying. But ads suggest that they might want to pull a trailer through rough terrain, or that bigger is more prestigious.

You might not be able to change an individual's choices by very much, but all these tiny nudges in aggregate push society more and more towards unsustainable levels of consumption, without improving happiness.

You seem to be assuming that, right now, humans are the only animal with consciousness.

I doubt that's the case. Far from it.
Then write down what you mean, people aren't mind readers. However you will find it quite hard to write down what you mean in this case since your statement doesn't work even if you talk about other situations.

Like should you hire a guy to manually set a field in new entries in the database every night instead of writing a short script to do it for you? That is a non code solution, so your answer would be yes. But I'd say no, that is a dumb solution. You could say "But don't follow this rule when it obviously does apply", then I say that figuring out when the rule applies and doesn't apply is a part of being a great software engineer. Short platitudes like what you wrote sounds great but are actually mostly nonsense.
Ignorant of the existence of some inane bullshit that they don’t actually need, because they haven’t been motivated to look for a solution to a real problem?

Sure! This is exactly where ignorance is bliss.

Modern marketing is just spreading dissatisfaction (sometimes borderline misery) with the false promise of relief through consumerism.
It’s a form of narcissism. The same way humans marvel at how Earth could possibly have the perfect conditions for life to exist. Shit must be have been meant to be right?

In our own small little worlds, we build software that sort of fits the business, and collect a check. Woah, how’d that happen? I wonder if we’re like, amazing or something?
There's actually a really specific reason for this. If you have an image it gets shown in link preview on social sites like Facebook and Twitter - this will also work for the article overview on the site if they have one. Links with image previews get shown larger in the feed and get more clicks. So many writers will always try to have an image, no matter how arbitrary.
The fact that this service even exists is depressing.
I hold no special power they could likely have been aware of.

I got an sms message from her campaign asking if they could count on my vote.

I replied “stop” to all political SMS except this one.

The worker and I shared a few exchanges about specific rhetoric their candidate had used. I let them know I had voted for the candidate during the primary but would not in the general.

The person offered me a 10 minute call with the candidate, and I took it.

I do not know why the candidate would say this.

Possibly they calculated I was unlikely to repeat this, or if I did it would not break through to affect votes (it was very late in the game).

Oregon is a two party consent call recording state, perhaps they calculated I was not recording or would not share it if I was.

My conclusion is that like Donald Trump, this person is a narcissist. It goes with the rhetoric and even double speak.

But I am very curious about their campaign manager. I have considered asking them for a phone call to discuss the candidates campaign, and to try and sort out what the manager had done versus what came from the candidate.
You are misunderstanding. The bloom filter is only a preliminary check; if it indicates a revoked certificate, you then verify that it's a true positive the traditional way.
It’s a good security feature, but the current design was leaking a too much info. I’m glad they are adressing this.
