Announcing the first release of Bittensor, a new machine intelligence system that uses a peer-to-peer network to incentivize knowledge production in a decentralized manner.

The entire network works like a single differential graph (a neural network), passing tensors and gradients between the models while rewarding computers for being useful to the majority. There is no pre-issuance; all value is mined by the models that add value to the system.

To run an alpha miner:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/opentensor/bittensor/maste...)"
All addictions are kind of a bad thing... A moderate use of social media is fine. The problem comes with the abuse (product of the addiction). The same abuse can come from "healthy" things which might derive in other problems like image, behavioral and diet disorders.

That's not exclusive to Ruby, though. Is there a language in which a project of at least a small team would not diverge?

Devs at my current dayjob have established, in multiple rounds, that it is impossible to find at least a minimum of viable coding standards, where every draft has been heavily opposed.
Most Americans still spend a ton of time in their car though, thanks to sprawl, lack of public transit and urban design geared towards cars.
Thank you :) WIP and Makerlog were my inspiration, I noticed how effective streaks and logging were for building in public, so I wanted to build a reading community around it.
Well, it is better, since I assume that you don't click "yes, allow". If you would, you would likely have a cookie saying "he/she is ours" with a lifetime longer than the heatdeath of the universe. If you dare to click no, that's when you get 10k options and optouts and have to send fax to someones grandma.

The root cause of your experience being worse is not the legislation, it's that the site doesn't follow the intent/purpose of the law. They want to annoy you until you click "yes".

They could simply present you with a yes/no modal once and be done with it, but they choose not to, hoping that they will break you down with time.

Yup, the smell always gave me nasty headaches.

I think you're pretty much right about the bread and games comment. I think sports can be a big distraction from politics. I believe the White House invites championship teams to visit. So I think political manipulation is still a big part. You can find more evidence in the post-9/11 deals between the NFL and the government.
The burger and fries are quite smelly, compared to say a cold beef sandwich. It's a bit anti social therefore I think.

I once ate a warm tuna salad thing on a train on the UK and heard a few people make comments about the smell. I ate it quickly and went to the vestibule to dispose of the packaging.

Probably should add in Russia. They are a far more sophisticated threat than China is (at this point in time) when it comes to network infiltration and security breaches.

I don't think anyone would be surprised if china was bugging motherboards - probably the extensiveness and efficacy would be the big shocks.
Yes, Reddit basically encourages flashy comments.

But the rub with traditional message boards is, that they don't scale well. Some subreddits have many, many thousands of active regular participants. It's hard for a single subforum to operate at that scale.
Blame sites that show cookie modal even when they use cookies only for auth or just tech stuff

Also what if big companies want to make your experience as poor as possible in order to make you think that this law sucks?

Maybe using private mode in browser is making your experience even worse?
I switched around the beginning of the year.

There is a [KB article](https://bitwarden.com/help/article/import-from-lastpass/) about exporting your LastPass vault and then importing it into Bitwarden.

It only took a minute or 2.

The most annoying thing for me is that Bitwarden doesn't have support for all of the extra "credential types" that LastPass has. They are still imported, but everything that isn't supported is imported as a secure note.

So far the only issues I have had logging in anywhere has been logging into my firefox account (in a new browser), and home assistant.

The law is that it needs to be as easy to reject cookies as it is to accept them. Ergo, "people are going to click the easiest button to make it go away" indicates a failure to enforce.

I agree it'd be better handled by the browser than each website, though.

What’s obvious is that 10, and 2 are not something you know in advance.

More importantly, I am guessing you don’t have any model that predictively associates whether you like person’s writing at a particular instance in time with their efficacy as a therapist.

The truth is that cars are subjected to a clean room test for VOCs. The automakers can get VOCs to an undetectable level, but purposefully keep them just under the allowed threshold to create new car smell. Adjusting the amount of VOCs was often done by tweaking the formula for headliner adhesive. I know this sounds like a conspiracy, but people have a strong preference for new car smell. You can see that headliners have their own category for how much offgassing is allowed:

https://www.issa.com/wp-content/uploads/VOC_Limits_Summary_1...

It is trivial to make a headliner that doesn’t offgas. With the stroke of a pen, the government could get rid of new car smell across the industry.
Still, transaction times longer than a few seconds, and fees larger than a few cents puts Bitcoin in a worse position than regular Visa transactions/Bank transfers.
Same here, I'm happy to pay Bitwarden because they have a highly functional firefox addon. LastPass was garbage for like two years before I dropped them and that was itself years ago. It's been bad for a while.

I definitely don't trust LastPass with my information, definitely don't trust that it will actually work in my browser, and if you export your lastpass vault bitwarden imported it perfectly.

Take my advice at your own risk of course, I had both for a few months before I was confident it was safe to close my lastpass account.
All password managers have issues but as a user of 1Password I have a lot of gripes with the product:

- Fails to fill out passwords around 2% of the time (Firefox account for example)

- Sometimes I mash the "CMD+/" shortcut and nothing happens. It's very unstable.

- Password generator is rigid. I have to edit the generated password about 90% of the time to add capital letters, numbers etc. I made a comment a while back on how we should be using HTML data attrs on the password field to hint how a password should look for password generators. Perfect password every time.

- Can't remove a single item from the trash. It's empty all or nothing.

- The shift to the web. Introduction of Keepass X extension whilst supporting the legacy. No feature parity between them. It's a bit of a mess to be honest.

More reputable organizations than Bloomberg made bigger claims that turned out to be false. Remember WMDs and the Nasrallah testimony?

What is asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence. There is no evidence here. And it's not even a case of not being able to produce it, you could literally just get your hands on a compromised board and x-ray it. People do that all the time.

That approach can work if you assume everyone is flying solo.

As soon as you get into a team setting, though, all these advanced features become a way for more advanced users to unwittingly create a hostile environment for less skilled programmers.

Which maybe isn't a big deal in the software engineering department, where you can perhaps assume that everyone is a crack programmer. It can be a huge deal, though, for a lot of non-software-engineer departments that still spend a lot of time working with code. Those teams tend to be heavily dependent on languages like Python.
Some people really like the smell of gasoline or jet fuel or rubbing alcohol, or acetone, which is the order in which I would rank how much I like them from mind-boggling to okay-that-smell-is-kind-of-nice.
Did You Make the Right Call with Building Your Integration Story? (2019)
In true Python style, the variable captures will no doubt use assignment rather than creating a new scope, and will lead to all sorts of wonderful and hidden bugs.

Regardless? Is there some protocol to allow user defined classes to be matched? One of the situations with algebraic datatypes is that it's very clearly defined what can and cannot be matched so that nothing is special and built in, but it also requires that concepts that should honestly be private be exposed. — it would perhaps be better to have some kind of protocol whereby some sort of “match object”is returnen for this functionality.
Texas resident here w/ no connection to the power industry, but I'm not sure I would call it a failure of our grid. Texas is the largest producer of energy in the United States in fossil fuels, wind, and solar. We are the only state to have our own grid[0] and we have an open electric market with competition for consumer and business electric generation.

The dependence on wind turned out to be a vulnerability with ice (something I didn't know until recently) and the lack of high-capacity interconnections with the other two grids that serve the rest of the country also makes it harder for Texas to get extra power in these kinds of situations, but I think that's fixable -- and it probably will be fixed after this.

Frozen generating stations[1] and frozen roads that keep crews from fixing stuff are also factors. Most Texas businesses aren't setup for this kind of weather since we don't normally have it.

Any extra modal, as simple as it might be, leads to a really bad user experience and wasted time.
>>PS license is spelled with an s

Are you honestly unaware that UK spelling is licence, or are you trying to make some kind of point?

>>You’re contradicting yourself.

No, I'm not, but I will explain again.
"Retailers in EU(and EEA and UK) have to take the product back if you don't agree with the licence" - the product. As in, the whole laptop/personal computer/tablet/whatever. If you don't agree with the licence bundled with the device, the retailer has to offer you a refund for the whole product. You can't return just the windows licence alone. I thought I made it quite clear in the earlier comment, but I guess not.
I love fake new car smell scent. They are all so different. Pine scent or lemon fresh is basically always the same. New car is always novel. I also love that it’s emulating a scent that’s from off gassing that we’ve known for years is probably terrible for you.
It does not have that problem baked into it since it relies on resolvers. It would have to be a choice to have that problem.

That is true, but for Python never having had constants. So as soon as you name an undocumented constant, you run the risk that people will update it. So that's less a principle and more a guideline.

And hey, if it finally gets explicit variable declarations in Python I'm 100% all for it. implicit locals, `global`, and `nonlocal` are awful, viva `let` and `const` or whatever.

As to the content of the tweet

> The Substitution Principle, learned in algebra?

Python is not algebra, and already breaks algebraic reasoning to and through. Just consider that `a = a + b` and `a += b` are completely different operations with possibly (and actually, for some types) completely different effects.

People that want a central authority just want control over what other people think. The reality is that this problem with main stream media will fix itself as people drop it to find sources they deem more truthful. A central authority loses the ability to have checks and balances of opposing news sources and it's a terrifying idea. Disagreement is A GOOD THING. This keeps these outlets in check. Anyone asking for this needs to realize they're advocating for the real life Thought Police.

What I find astonishing is the use of the term "Safe Space" - clearly in an attempt to mock Scott Alexander, for -- I guess -- not being "manly" enough.

It's really quite funny, in a I-want-to-cry kind of way, that a term invented to protect "sissies" (I count myself among them!) is being used to mock people for their lack of masculinity. Its cynical deployment, here, actually serves to reinforce the very macho stereotypes the term was invented to combat. And all this from a supposed standard bearer of liberal orthodoxy.

Launch HN: June (YC W21) – Two-click analytics reports on top of Segment data
Hi HN!

I’m Ferruccio, cofounder of June (https://june.so). We make it easy to set up dashboards for your most important product metrics.

After a couple of years working in product teams, we realised that most companies measure the same things. So we created a set of templates that help you streamline the process of getting an insight from your data.

With Amplitude/Mixpanel you have to know what you should be measuring and how. Getting to an insight starts from a blank canvas, is intimidating, and requires some expertise. With June, you pick a template, connect Segment, select the right events for your analysis, and get a report.

We currently have 9 templates including Retention, Active Users, and Churning Users. We release a new one every week. We’re also starting to allow you to create and share your own templates.

To try it out, go to https://june.so/templates and pick a template you’d like to try. Connect your Segment account, select the events required for your analysis, and get your insights.

Looking forward to ideas and feedback from the community!

I dont consider prototypes-based OO a real OO.

I thought Python had classes in the first release but not to be used by library/application makers. But I was probably mistaken. Thanks for setting that straight.

What I think is rather unidiomatic in OO langs is Pythons "function/methods" like `len(x)` which is implemented as `__length__()`. This is just weird/unintuitive/unidiomatic OO... I do not know what Guido was on when he thought this was a good idea.

Even in engineering/tech, most people are probably commuting from suburban houses/apartments to suburban office parks. And while that can still involve congested traffic, most people would consider an hour each way a pretty long commute.
Same, for some reason my uncle's car constantly smelled like that even after years of use. Not sure what causes it, whether it was intentional, but would make me nauseous!
Same, I was a paid LastPass user and the Firefox add-on was so bad that it was worth negative money. They clearly didn't care.
It is not decentralized. All you need to do is look up who owns these sources to realize that.
Training older people and non tech literate people to just randomly click yes on every website has to be one of the greatest fails of the GDPR. I would say that people are even less safe now. Cookies, while annoying and privacy-eroding, never hacked someone's system like clicking yes to installing God knows what malware will do. We had just trained everyone to not do that.
In some languages, however, data constructors live in a separate namespace from variables and in some they do not.

In ML and Rust, mistyping a a data constructor's name produces a variable, and thus matches everything, whereas OCaml and Haskell require that constructors start with an uppercase name, and disallows variables to do so, so this cannot easily occur.

But, since in Rust data constructors are typically qualified with a namespace except for some frequently used ones, this is not a problem in practice.
Completely agree. Being a tattle-tale is just plain fun. Which is why young children pick it up so easily. It's not inherent to any ideology, but any ideology can adopt it to score easy points.
