A couple years ago I tried to integrate this into a website specifically for the visualizations, but couldn't get it working... did the work you did on the visualizer just increase performance, or did it also increase support or ease of getting it setup on a new site?
They might. There are five things that they're using that they can't work around:

One is going to be stable in Rust 1.52.0, the next release of Rust. This will happen before the next kernel release, so it barely counts. It's also a documentation tooling feature.

One is related to symbol mangling, and so in theory could be worked around I'd imagine, but is landing soon enough they don't think it's worth it.

The final three are related to each other; two of them look like they're being stable pretty soon, and the third, while it's less clear on timeline, is one pretty small thing.

So, the answer is basically that the exposure here is pretty small. How much that matters is a social question as much as a technical one. While "unstable" is a binary designation, within it is a spectrum of unstability. "This feature has no path to stabilization" to "this will be stable in the next Rust" and all things in between. Maybe allowing some unstable things that are closer to the latter is acceptable, maybe not.

I can sympathize. I used to have a filter for reddit to eliminate the tally because I didn't like the effect it had on me.

I think the thing is though, HN and reddit don't give you options to remove these numbers because they have an effect. It's the nudge they give to people to adjust their contributions to be something the community actually wants. No shock these services are not offering options to turn that nudge off.

It might be nice of them to give the tally as class to make it easy to filter with a userstyle, though.
> null checks are elided by trapping segfaults

Sounds right. No need to generate instructions to perform the check if you can rely on a hardware trap, by means of signal-handling cleverness.

> There is no over/underflow checks so I don't know what you mean by arithmetic checks -- in pure number crunching the JVM is insanely fast.

Integer multiplication, addition, and subtraction, are all defined in Java to have wrapping behaviour, and are easily implemented. Whatever the input values, there's no way those operations can fail. (Incidentally, this is a terrible way of handling overflow. This turned up recently in discussion. [0]) Division is trickier. In Java, integer division by zero results in an exception being thrown. Apparently JVMs can implement this with signal-handling cleverness similar to dereferencing null references. [1] Two's complement integer division has another edge case, which is undefined behaviour in C/C++ but which, iirc, results in an exception in Java: INT_MIN / -1. I believe the JIT has to emit instructions to check for this, as it's not possible to leverage signal-handling there.

I don't know how well modern Java performs in floating-point arithmetic. Here's an old tirade about it [2] and discussion. [3]

> with generational GCs it is really cheap.

At the risk of going off topic: doesn't Java tend to perform somewhere around 60% the speed of C/C++, while using considerably more memory? Perhaps the GC isn't to blame, but clearly the blame belongs somewhere. It's like the way advocates of Electron will insist that modern HTML rendering engines are fast and efficient, the DOM is fast and efficient, and JavaScript is fast and efficient... and yet here we are, with Electron-based applications reliably taking several times the computational resources of competing solutions using conventional toolkits.

> primitive classes in Project Valhalla will solve this last problem of object locality

Interesting, sounds like the kind of ambitious initiative that will require deep changes to the JVM.

I'd love to read about founders that actually make something. In days of yore, practically any startup actually made a physical 'thing', unless they were busy writing some useful workstation software. Basing an entire economy on internet advertising and related issues strikes me as a risky bet.

The way to think about orbits is not one height but two: apoapsis and periapsis.

Debris from an explosion/collision can have an unlimited apoapsis, but the periapsis is at most the altitude of the incident.

If you look at current mathematical and experimental physics, I do not see where people ignore the objects!

(and what is a non mathematical object anyway)

Physics and mathematics have evolved a lot and current research questions cannot anymore be discovered through simple experiments, one of the reasons is because an experiment would be too costly. But not always, some things are intrinsically difficult to observe or even impossible. In comparison mathematics is a 'cheap' and extremely powerful tool.

When a theory is developed enough, we can start to design again experiments to test it.
This is simply an example of the scientific method which is applied. In practice, even if a theory is purely mathematical (which is never the case as usually those maths are developed by trained physicists in classical theories) its power is assessed by how much of our reality we can infer with it.

People mix frequently how the science make discoveries with what is true, in the case of Wolfram's theory, if it is enough to prove and infer interesting things, it is already worth studying it. If not for the sake of physics, at least for the sake of mathematics :)

They didn't necessarily know they would be able to get into the apartment or room or communicate with him. The dog is just a mobile camera that is more expendable than sending in a person to scout out a situation.

> I'm not telling you how to live your life, but if our care is funded from the same pool and you live a riskier life by choice, I don't think it's unfair for me to ask that you pay proportionally more.

Charging people more for coverage is telling them how to live their life. And where is the line drawn? "Oh, you like to go 10mph over the limit? Higher medical coverage fees, sir. You're likely to get hurt. Oh, sir, you live in a rough neighborhood? Very likely to get shot sir, you should definitely have higher premiums, yes."

You may as well ask people to not have health insurance and just pay out of pocket for everything.

Btw - do you really think if you do this that costs will go down for you in this hypothetical system? They won't. Premiums will go up for everyone and the people who will profit are executive leadership.

"Public figure" does not mean "elected official". It means literally anyone who publishes (makes something public) themselves. So anyone with a social media following is a public figure. If you have to worry about being defamed, then you are already outside the protection of defamation law.

There's also the concept of a "limited-purpose public figure", which means that just commenting on something can make you a public figure in certain contexts. For example, if you were to merely say that I was a pedophile, you probably have defamed a private individual. However, if you replied to this post with something like, "You probably just think defamation law is good because you're a pedophile that doesn't want to get caught"; defamation law could take your side. After all, I joined this particular controversy by commenting on it, that makes me a limited-purpose public figure. So even if you're not a public figure, it's very easy to accidentally become one.

Having to work harder at moderation seems acceptable to me. And it'd be fairly simple to implement a "You can't just say 'you suck' when downvoting. If you do, you lose your downvoting privileges permanently." policy.
Removing content from a discussion IS moderation. That's why the idea is tying a 'reason for moderation' (the reply, or any reply existing at all at least) to the moderation action.

Such a moderation comment might be anything, but the more egregious examples:

Illegal content (of some sort); A threat upon persons or property (E.G.); Hate Speech; other things that a reasonable person would agree do not belong with a discussion; or just being Wildly off-topic.
Sure sounds like it. Though I'm fairly certain that I wouldn't forget Grimm's name like that (the tales are childhood's staple where I am)—so maybe Rasmus Rask or Karl Verner was instead mentioned when I heard of the general concept being attributed at all. Which, rather weirdly, was only one time in a lecture by Andrey Zaliznyak on Youtube, even though I heard of how shifts work before and after that—you'd think such an important discovery would at least more often bear the name of its author.
A good guideline I've heard is that you say "X has died/eaten/gone" but "X died/ate/went this morning." So simple past if there is a specific time attached and present perfect if it's a general statement. More examples:

"Have you [ever] been to New York?"
"Did you go to New York last week?"

"Have you seen Star Wars?"
"Did you see Star Wars this afternoon?"

Might not work in every circumstance but a good rule of thumb.

Don’t use downvotes to signal disagreement. It goes against the implicit and explicit guidelines of HN. And it drags HN closer to reddit.

Even if you see other people using downvotes for disagreement, that doesn’t make it ok for you to do the same.

Downvotes are for when people violate the norms and values of our community without thoughtfulness or self awareness.

The difference is subtle sometimes, but your comment is exactly the kind of thing I downvote. Low effort, dismissal / rejection of the community’s norms without nuance or justification beyond “well other people do it too so that makes it ok”.
> The only counter is for the commenter to edit and call out readers for frivolous downvoting.

That usually earns a downvote from me. People commenting on downvotes is boring and usually shows a lack of insight, for example obviously making zero effort to understand why their comment is poorly received, or blaming a conspiracy, or blaming groupthink. I have occasionally answered “why the downvotes” questions, but it usually feels like a waste of my time to do so.
Coinbase is not for crypto people. It is for people who only care about hodling some crypto for profit and want an easy on-ramp. It is not for traders either as it is incredibly expensive to deposit and trade. I'd take Binance over Coinbase any day of the week. If I use Coinbase I pay 2% only for depositing which is insane. If I use Binance for example deposit is free, withdraw is 0.75 EUR and I pay 0.2% (note the zero) for transactions.
I would accept that Google will sometimes make the wrong decision, but it's unacceptable that the care given toward making that decision stops at a low-wage worker in another country spending 20 seconds on the decision.

There's a very wide chasm between "an AI decided" or "someone spent 20 seconds on it", and "we hired an expert in every possible field and they thoroughly research the facts at hand before making a decision".

The latter is obviously not feasible, but there are many options in between that will give markedly better outcomes than the status quo while not making YT moderation economically infeasible.

Actually instead of counting down-votes HN software could just count how often a post was up-voted and then that vote regretted (reversed) and adjust the visibility to boost or silence. But that is still susceptible to misuse so there should be a limit on how often that would count.

The Beacon chain went live in December, 2020 and has been running without issues.

It now has about 4 Million ETH locked and staking which cannot be withdrawn - that's almost $8 billion worth of ETH locked until the move to PoS happens. Which means now there is some real pressure to make it happen soon enough (between 8-15 months).

The situation now with the Beaconchain live and running is very different from the past 4 years of research and planning.

A few arguments to justify the valuation:

- Government intervention tends to benefit incumbents.

- Coinbase employs a lot of lawyers [1].

- Coinbase invests a lot in lobbying [2].

- While fees are lowering for international exchanges, those who serve US customers are still able to get away with very high fees.

- People are less sensitive to fees when the assets they are buying are very volatile.

- NYSE serves brokers, that then themselves serve the final clients. Coinbase is able to serve customers directly, thus it can keep all the fees for themselves.

Agreed. As I've pointed out elsewhere, Coinbase trading fees are about 60x those of NYSE, Nasdaq, etc.; and Coinbase siphons off about 0.4% of the entire crypto market cap per annum.

No retail investor has accounts directly with the NYSE. Coinbase directly holds the customer relationship and if more government regulation comes down on crypto it will be a better moat for them against competitors.

I think Coinbase may still be overvalued but don't think it is directly comparable to NYSE or other major exchanges.
