Consider yourself lucky. I had a spate of BSODs a couple months ago presumably after some combination of Windows 10 updates and Lenovo updates on my work-issued ThinkPad. Rolling back updates didn’t seem to help. Finally went away after some other update installed. After the 5th one in maybe 10 days I was ready to have the machine wiped and reimaged (if I didn’t smash it with a sledgehammer first).
Because on the planetary scale it is a bigger deal than ski resorts (affordable only to the citizen of the first world anyway).

May be we start detaching the Smart into a separate box, or basically buying a large Monitor?

Is there such thing as 55" Monitor? The whole TV industry needs some new thinking and innovation. Right now it is race to the bottom and everyone is trying to get some extra revenues from Data gathering. There are also a huge oversupply from LCD panel maker.

Oh because how dare people judge. You would be instantly taken to court of public opinion for talking down a black female, AI, ethics, researcher.

If people have opposite opinion, they would keep it to themselves. But saying the entire AI community had rallied behind her is wrong.
Good to know - thanks.
Break Facebook Monopoly
It seems like Americans have embraced tech dictatorship, while giving the rest of the world lessons in democracy.

It has gone beyond uncompetitive to let a single company run Social, Messaging, Photos...

Even in the hay-day of Microsoft you could turn the Windows off and live your life.

Unless Facebook is culled properly. It would be only ONE COMPANY that innovates from Photos to Messaging and Social. At least the Chinese and Russians have their own ecosystem otherwise the world will look like a very sad place with Big Brother Zuckerberg running Social, Messaging and Photos for the whole of humanity.

Please raise your voice as humanity we need each other to push. It's not about voting for Democrats or Republican if humanity can't exist with inclusive dignity online.

This seems like an odd value proposition for a static site generator.

Even a really shitty, unoptimized single threaded non-incremental build system shouldn’t struggle too hard to compile a static site. And even if it does, if it has a good amount of features, it shouldn’t be a problem for most use-cases.
I've hated DoH from the beginning, and not just because shoehorning everything into http is a silly idea, but as I suspected, we now live in a reality where you have to keep an adblock-esque list of DoH servers. Now you have yet another internet arms race.

"Webs of trust can help isolate the issue,"

First, this is missing the point a little bit - people don't care about the truth. They actively seek out channels of bias. If everyone were so conscientious as to be seeking the truth society would have far fewer problems.

Second, there is no such thing as 'web of trust', it's an academic idea.

Third, it's unnecessary. We already have pretty good institutions.

FYI I just checked the commentary on Fox to see where there plebes minds are at this morning, and this was the 4th comment on the top article:

"The military must restore President Trump to the presidency.

Any pockets of military resistance should be dealt with.

Our country needs military law and God's chosen President, President Trump.

President Trump for life!!!!"

A few comments down:

This kind of rhetoric is not uncommon now, and this is on a mainstream news outlet, it's only a little bit of accidental violence from words to deeds.
What? People should check their principles at the door? They literally hired an ethics researcher and then it appears they fired her unethically.
Analogously, I used to pooh-pooh the concerns about the total electrical usage of Bitcoin years ago, but it's since risen to an actually meaningful level. There's easily more money in AI in total than in crypto, and thus, you could see the total energy usage ending up a lot higher than crypto. That's not an insignificant amount of energy we're talking about here.
I checked some well-respected national curriculums.

Singapore was the only one I found where percentage increase is introduced earlier as a national standard.

But that's the thing -- I'm a woman in tech. How am I political? I'm just a sack of cells like you. Are you a political topic?

To get back to the parent posters, that's why I keep coming back to HN despite the unfortunately-now-expected friction of, well, comments like the one above me. (And timeeater, to be really clear, I don't care your position on feminism or socialism. The friction is that you label me talking a "political topic".) The conversation here is overall good enough to outweigh that, and I have learned a lot from conservatives/Julia programmers/people who've experienced homelessness/infosec people/homebrewers on HN.

He really isn't, as Paul Graham sys he's got unparalelled experience of working with many people doing exactly this - creating value and accumulating the resources to leverage that value to benefit society.

Yes of course there are inefficiencies in the system, rent seeking behaviour does happen and it's an important aspect of policy to try and minimise and disincentivise it. Nevertheless, our economic system does work. All those companies employing people, paying taxes and generating goods and services are the economy. That's where the wealth is being generated. The vast majority of wealthy people are incredibly hard working, dedicated people running companies, employing people and creating wealth. If they weren't the system just wouldn't work.
I like the sketch of the first design presented there. It seems to fit with the product. Unfortunately, the cult-route they went with produced a busy page with lots of animation that distracts the reader. Also, overlapping headings with animations and changing colors immensely reduces readability.

If it weren't overly animated and the headings were legible, this design might actually be pleasantly nostalgic. But in its present state, it makes me wish for old radicle, when it was built on ipfs and had no GUI. The overt use of animation is exactly how I tend to think of unnecesary GUIs.

I'm lucky enough to be able to direct ALL DNS through my router first. Nothing gets out without my say so. Not everyone has that capability, sadly, with home routers.

The solution provided by the OP is a solid one - another would be to purchase a decent router (such as a Mikrotik) and learn how to use it - much more powerful device for the same price, or sometimes lower, as a regular 'home' router.
I think you may have a few competitive advantages that a 16 year old may lack, like a quiet place to work, an internet connection, a network of people, etc. etc. You’ve got such an advantage that it’s utterly pointless to draw comparisons.

The idea that someone somewhere can probably maybe might be able to make this work does not make the case that people have opportunity.
So the company you work for will be fighting for my privacy? I'd rather have a PiHole doing that.

A few years now. I have another account that I used to use. I have definitely learned alot, but I can't specifically tell you what I've learned. I think HN and reddit is good for giving you perspectives. You often come across thoughts and ideas that are completely different from your way of thinking. It's more of a feeling you take away, rather some hard knowledge.

HN is also good at introducing you to different topics you haven't heard of before. However, it's up to you to do research on your own if you want to learn more about it. I wouldn't say HN is great for deep learning, but it is great for getting an idea of the general landscape. GraphQL, GPT-3, and PG essays are some things I came across here before anywhere else.

I'm more interested in the related nugget, which is the carbon footprint of a Google Search. Some estimates from a decade back put it at 7g (boil a cup of water), but since then it's probably only gotten larger. However if Google's dstacenters truly carbon neutral, does it even matter?
How well can a person live in Germany for $15,000? A person in the US could live on that much in an apartment with multiple room mates in a city with a low cost of living, but it’s not much of a life. You would be eating Ramen noodle every night (and not the good kind).

As long as this works for the author, good for them. What I found out looking at post after post, tool after tool, press release after press release, is that these tools optimize for the workflow of n=1 person working on a toy project with no stakes.

There is a disconnect:

- Most non-trivial machine learning projects I've seen involve more than one person and have stakes.

- Most people do not work on non-trivial machine learning projects with stakes

The map becomes the territory: many people then develop "ML project lifecycle management" or improve the "notebook experience" with better stylesheets for that kind of experience. i.e: the experience of one person working on a toy project for a YouTube video or a Medium blog post on "production machine learning" from someone who's never done it before.

I'm not pissing on those who produce this kind of content; they're likely doing it for feedback. I'm selfish in that it is part of my job to stay up to date but the low signal to noise ratio gives the feeling of being rickrolled with every piece of content about machine learning.

I don't really have a perspective on this particular case. But yeah. "Companies" (really senior people within those companies) hire people who are known in their field, bring an outside perspective, have an independent voice, etc. And then those people (or perhaps different senior people) get unhappy when the individual who was hired doesn't go through channels or otherwise toe the party line. Either both sides find a middle ground by some combination of putting certain opinions in a box and choosing to ignore the use of channels or messages outside of official guidelines--or you part ways.

I have some experience with this. Not to nearly the same degree. But I had something of a tiff with an exec my second day on the job in a prior role.

QuadPlay: New Fantasy Console from the Author of the Graphics Codex
(in reply to @kgwgk's comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25313531)

The argument is flawless, the problem is with the interpretation.

> p(A or B) = p(A) + p(B) - p(A and B)

How does one add degrees of belief and what sense do we make out of the result?

> p(H) = p(T) = 0.5

Sure, two equal quantities representing degrees of belief must mean the degrees of belief are of the same magnitude. But what about P(H) = 2P(T)? What does it mean for one degree of belief to be twice as large as the other?

I imagine GP is talking about the text and links that FB/Twitter/Google are inserting on specific user created content.

The claim is that these actions fall under the purview of "curation" and "moderation" from either side respectively.
I appreciate your inquiry and articulation of your position. I agree that the homeless people you describe are in the direction of repulsive. I can give my answer to your question.

> "so the homeless there to me always seemed like they are homeless due to their own bad choices."

Contrary to your perspective, when I see a homeless person (or anyone) who is being unreasonable, hostile or indecent to me: I try to reflect that they did not have the resources and upbringing that allows them to be decent. I did not choose my upbringing therefore I did not choose my capacity to be a decent human being. It doesn't change them from being repulsive, but I begin to see how I could have been them if I didn't have the resources I had during my upbringing. Resources does not just imply financial capital, but also includes social capital (good relationships, family life), environmental capital (health, nutrition, safety.) So yes you can grow up "poor" (financially/materially) but become a decent human being. Your parents had good virtues instilled in them to not steal or do dodgy things.. I wonder who instilled those virtues in them? I'd like to thank them and make their practices ubiquitous.

Some rhetorical questions I ponder about:

Why am I a decent human being? Am I a decent human being? How much of my inherent decency is from underlying cultural fabric that I may be unaware of and take for granted? What I am doing do insure that I continue to be a decent human being?

.. do I have "blinders" on as the actor in the video suggests. What am I taking for granted that could be taken away? For all I know I could have a future medical condition that breaks me psychologically, or fall to some financial scam that puts me into ruin and I could become an indecent person. How do we create a society that makes it very difficult to become an indecent person? How do we create a society that protects everyone?

When I see an indecent homeless person: I see that society has failed them. Society might fail me too.
Most people in the US do not think this way, though. Most people in the US feel that if they have 2-3 nice cars and a big house in the suburbs they are upper middle class. (2-3 not-nice cars then lower middle class.) American define class by possessions, often, and then see those possessions as providing security -- which is the false equivalence that your comment starts to get at.
The ubiquitous display control boards with HDMI/VGA on one side and a FFC connector on the other sold... just about everywhere also don't have ads. (Yet.) So get a working panel, pair it with such a thing and you are off to the races!

User friendliness does fall behind a bit, I'll give that.
I find that the average HN thread demonstrates a broader diversity of thought, and generally deeper, more critical, more scientific thought than the average Twitter feed. So it’s not surprising that Twitter would be near unanimous and HN would be more nuanced.

This is one of the reasons I prefer HN to just about any other online forum.

Even DNS over HTTPS? Do you do packet inspection? Just blocking ports doesn't do much any more. I run an IDS/IPS and it blocks lots of DoH to Google. Apple devices are even worse.

If you're bound by an NDA and a noncompete, check if you can get rid of either or if you really want/have to stay where you are see if you can:

- get the liberty of hiring people for your own team

- get flexible work hours allowing you to show up when you want to and pick the problems you'd like to solve

Also, unless you haven't done so already, get/see a financial advisor to make sure you don't blow through 10M in a few years. Do something like building an apartment building (low income or not), invest in providing a basic service that'll always be around and will make you money for decades to come, etc.

Father of 3 here, one recently graduated and one about to start US college.

With reasonable preparation, college is very affordable. Scholarships are easily obtained with a good ACT or SAT score. Both of these are well documented, a few months of self-study practically guarantees a good score.

My experience has been that good preparation puts out of pocket costs below $10k per year. (I think that's actually on the high side.)
It's really just academic and not germane to the larger overall discussion whether or not she got that one pay period's worth of money.
No, I was unclear. Just after I had the problem with the Galago, the Darter came out It way my choice to get a repair, or to return the machine and buy something else. Since I ALSO didn't like the 4k screen on the Galago, I opted for the Darter. I paid shipping, just as would have happened had the Galago screen not been defective.

I was actually in the process of arranging the repair of the Galago when the Darter was released, and they then told me about their return policy.

Also: the yellowing on part of the Galago screen was extremely subtle. It took me a couple of weeks to even notice it. But there were no questions asked, they just immediately said it was a warrany repair.

Still though, it’s good that these numbers are brought into light, along with other “hidden” costs in the IT industry. Otherwise we’ll just spiral into whataboutism and “my own carbon footprint is totally fine, because somewhere out there a model is doing worse things”. It also goes to show the sheer scale of this research field (arguably in a double-edges sword way) if the general public was still thinking “nerds in a basement recognizing cats”.

The point I am trying to make is that all rights, positive or negative, require social structures to maintain and protect. There isn't a point in comparing to some Hobbesian wilderness as the blank canvas on which society is drawn, because there never has been such a situation. So long as there have been humans, there has been human society, because that is what makes us human. Therefore, pretending that rights start from a perspective of a single human adrift in the wilderness is an poor starting point.

There has to be a third way.

Online harassment is a huge problem for pretty much everyone, and it's only going to get worse. Companies have limited financial incentive to deal with it robustly.

The other side of it is spreading false information - why are companies not liable for lies spread widely on their platform? And it they were, would it make for better tools and policies?
Yes it's something I often see ignored as "common knowledge" dictates that in ML inference is way cheaper than training. But if you're running a model in production at google with loads of google searches hitting it every second. At what point does the inference costs start to outweigh the training costs?

I simply have no idea where the hinge point is. This could inform other questions like, could it be worth to scale up to get a more accurate model (pay up-front in training) to avoid further searches (inference)?
