Wow, I was unprepared for how incredibly obvious and embarrassingly fake that comments section is lol.

"Thanks for taking the time to discuss this, I feel strongly about it and love learning more on this topic. If possible, as you gain expertise, would you mind updating your blog with more information? It is extremely helpful for me."

Complete with spam link I've removed for safety. What a farce. How does content like this make it onto Hacker News? Probably bought fake votes too. Posted by an account with no history, created today. hmmm....
>the easiest explanation is discrimination

If you have decided that discrimination is the most likely explanation and don't bother collecting information or looking at other possibilities, of course it will end up being the best fitting explanation.

This is circular logic.
You are equating a stupid in the heat of the moment Tweet by one person to a premeditated months long conspiracy by multiple people in Tesla's leadership. The two aren't equivalent.
Not sure its about exclusion as much as causing one to take it more seriously. Maybe the solution is to take it away for a while when you've been reckless, instead of letting you offend over and over.
A brief history of one line fixes (2014)
And yet he is publicly against Net Neutrality and doesn't believe in climate change. Tribal affiliation takes priority over technical ability I guess.
How would it handle translations?
My point is that "The car wasn't used properly, but it did in fact drive itself safely." isn't really something we can know. We know it didn't collide with anything.
Apple probably has no interest in throwing good money after bad, with regards to security work involved in making that feasible.
It's true the happy path and common error cases are easy to account for. But it just takes one overlooked bug or vulnerability either in your code or a library's code to send it all crashing down.
I'd say it depends on what you're shooting. I have a d5600 and Z5.

The Z5 is better for baby pictures.

The d5600 is still better for hiking and travel pictures.

The Z5 is better under low-light and dynamic subject conditions. Particularly because the digital viewfinder is clearer in the dark, the eye/face autofocus and low light autofocus performance is much better (much fewer missed shots), the Z5 has sensor-shift stabilization, and there is no mirror slap affecting lower shutter speeds. For landscapes where there is lots of light, a lightweight and battery conservative d5600 still does the job excellently.
Like a sibling comment said, hopefully this was tongue in cheek.

If you use "none", anyone can forge a JWT that says anything. I always say:

* You should have some other way of verifying that the JWT was unchanged by the client, like say being on a private network or using client TLS certs

and

* You should benchmark and know that the signing overhead is a significant source of performance degradation in your system.

Otherwise, sign your JWTs! :)
Cryptocurrency is a union of people who hate banks, people who hate taxes, and people who hate financial transparency.

Sprinkled with a dash of the newly wealthy who aren't informed about legal ways to dodge taxes.

Somehow, I am less than surprised that population includes a large percentage of folks tax authorities would be interested in...

Which has nothing to do with the technology itself, only those it's marketed to.
Yes, good question. Australia and New Zealand are on our target list to open before the end of the year.
> Money works purely on belief. If we all suddenly disbelieved in the dollar, the value would be zero.

Is this true? Yes.

Are you wildly underselling what "disbelieving in the dollar" means in practice? Also yes.

I believe in the dollar because the United States has the worlds largest nuclear arsenal, spends nearly a trillion dollars on its military every year – and that's only what it puts on the books – and has been proven to have an itchy fucking trigger finger.

That trust isn't going anywhere without massive global conflict.
At least I was right about the CDC lacking credibility.
According to the public perception, getting COVID is a death sentence. That's all there is to it.

i'd go one step further and prohibit our government from surveilling any non-governmental foreigner without an auditable warrant, and strictly prohibit corporations with heavy sanctions from sharing any non-governmental surveillance with the government whatsoever (on top of existing privacy laws of course). the government should be in service, not in command, of the people.

First, I should note that I have a personal bias in that I study Mars for my PhD. I dislike Elon Musk, and I am not in favor of terraforming.

That out of the way, McKay comes off as overly aggressive at times, and wishy-washy in others. It seems contradictory to call Jakosky's model ridiculous and absurd while also claiming we don't have enough data to know for sure. Jakosky is a well-known and respected Mars researcher, and I would much rather trust his 2018 paper over a paper or two written in the early '90s before we had detailed observations of the Martian atmosphere or surface.

At the very least, I appreciate Jakosky planting an empirical stake in the ground for his position.
yes , i also use a old phone which is probably 5 year old which only supports 1 of 10 websites. The chrome crashes all the times that is why i always use pc. The mobile phone market is growing quickly and we have to updates every month. Even window's needs to update montly. But still there are lot of people who wont buy new phone's every year but smartphone brands will never understand.
Yes! I think that the benefits of an outsourced monitoring service are huge compared to the amount of money you pay.

There are also simple ones that you can get started with for free/cheap.
Stated intention is almost meaningless.
> The funny (not ha-ha) thing is that it also looks like he could be thrown in jail longer for disobeying the police officer (6 months) than the actual crime (90 days).

Disobeying the police officer is an actual crime, and clearly (in law) the more significant one.
Making people reset their password is not that big of a deal. I have run into this multiple times, the most recent being amtrak.com. It just told me "you have to reset your password" and I got a link in email like if I had forgotten it. I have also received many "we had a security incident you have to reset your password now" emails in recent years.
Has anybody seen The man from Earth? Its a really clever sci-fi, set in only one room and a couple of people are talking. Worth watch it.
This project looks fantastic.

I adore Observable notebooks, but the one thing that makes me hesitate in using them for everything is that the editor component itself is closed-source and only available on https://observablehq.com/

They're great open source ecosystem supporters - they released their runtime, their parser, their standard library and all sorts of other stuff through https://github.com/observablehq - but the editor itself is their proprietary sauce.

I totally support their decision on this - it's what they're building their business around, and I want them to be successful. But as a user it does give me pause.

This project from Alex Garcia looks like a fix for exactly that. Having more-than-one editor for their notebook format (and an open source option a that) resolves my hesitancy in leaning hard into their ecosystem.

I don't even see it as a competitor to ObservableHQ - the hosted Observable editor has collaboration features that don't even make sense for a local running version.

Plus, Dataflow has some great ideas of its own - in particular the live file attachments thing.
I mean, in theory someone who owns a big part of a resource distribution system with a high potential waste factor could start a side business that makes use of that resource when it's about to 'spoil'. Be that a condiment factory or BTC mining next to your cubes of lithium.

Building battery backup near solar farms and then burning the surplus as BTC mining whenever the batteries get full but it's a windy, sunny day would reduce the footprint of BTC a bit. But like the rest of the grid, those happy stories are built on a bed of lies/coal/natural gas. You can change the ratios all you want but at the end of the day those don't shrink the bad parts very much, and dilution is not the solution.

Also, the sad fact is that as much as I wish it were different, having hardware sitting idle is super expensive, both financially and embodied cost. Mining hardware and the buildings to store them have a carbon - and water - footprint even when they are off.
Free donuts, now free lottery tickets. Aren’t we past the point of diminishing returns where treating people like stupid fat cattle isn’t going to move the needle any further?
> security products by making people feel fearful

People should be fearful. The lack of fear is allowing people and corporations to get hacked everywhere.

Though I work in cybersecurity (though not for a cybersecurity company), so I may be a bit biased.
These inane arguments didn't kill GTA, or virtually anything else. How are they going to kill OSS that hasn't needed mainstream appeal and still doesn't? So, maybe some high school kids end up on the github pages and become 1337 hackers? Quite a stretch..
It still is, it's inherent to the way interfaces are designed. Did you use golang on a monorepo for example?
With SSO, you don’t really control login/logout at all, that’s the whole point. For delegating authentication and whatnot to a system like Auth0, Keycloak, etc., for logout on a single device, you just clear the header holding the JWT. To invalidate the tokens completely, often you can’t, but you’re probably doing short lived refresh tokens, and you can make it so they can’t refresh. So at least they don’t maintain access for too long. i.e. https://auth0.com/docs/tokens/revoke-tokens

It’s a trade-off you make for not having to handle password persistence, and getting free-ish login/logout pages, SSO, MFA, password reset, etc. For many companies it’s a good trade-off.
It's not SEO that's the problem. SEO is a symptom of the perverse incentives.

So Google has created incentives (via ad embedding in user-sites) for entities to generate content and compete with each-other for who can show the most ads. This in turn "pollutes the index" as the other poster phrased it, which makes it more and more difficult to find actual real (unique?) content, which then Google turns around and supposedly "helps" us with.

Let's be honest. Despite it's surface-level gigantic scale, the internet is actually very tiny when it comes to real genuine content. My wild estimate is that 99% of it is spam. Even in the case of user-generated content, for every genuine blog where someone shares their thoughts and unique insights or content, there are a thousand blogs which are just there to get ad-views by generating any content that might get someone to look there. I can't even find the former type of blog/site anymore. The only place I still encounter those on occasion is when it's linked to from HN. And the ones I do encounter that way, I find that even when I try to, I can't find it via any sort of generic search (i.e. not cheating by using the site name / author / unique phrases).

Splitting Google up won't fix this.
Speaking of areology, there is a small subreddit for precisely that field which is quite good: reddit.com/r/Areology
Doesn't like people who give advice, proceeds to give advice.
I see all these notebooks products and I honestly don't know how any of them plan to compete with AWS...no body wants self hosted anymore, everyone just wants to pay AWS or databricks for it.

Can other people chime in? Maybe i'm just working at the wrong place.
I absolutely love Notion and I'm excited for the future this API will bring.
Yes, blame GWB. But I'm not sure why you're giving a pass to Obama, Trump, and Biden. Their failure to address it is every bit as bad as anything that was (presumably) set up under Bush.
As an Oregonian I also strongly suspected that it was Ron Wyden prior to opening the article. Oregon is fortunate to have two good Senators (Wyden and Merkley).
I think eventually the role of 'developer' will be replaced by someone who takes business requirements and filters them for what's actually possible and desirable, then uses some sort of no-code software platform to turn them into instructions that a computer can use, then tunes those instructions based on testing and feedback until they effectively match the business requirements.

Oh wait...
between regular people and companies. I don't think it has to come at the expense of those things, a company doesn't have to be the size and scope of google to be efficient.
We had to lock down because of a shortage of hospital capacity. Instead of spending money to improve that in some meaningful way, we're just throwing it away. Thanks, government.
The sci-fi author David Weber said something in an interview I read ages ago that stuck with me. It was something to the effect of: "don't spend paragraphs describing how a light switch works in the future." There's a place for true hard sci-fi, but it is niche. The bulk of sci-fi is quite justifiably going to be more or less accurate in places in relation to how well it services the overall combined goals fo the film.

It also somewhat bugs me that pretty invariably the folks that crap all over these movies are huge Trek or Babylon 5 fans, shows that have endless literal magic in them, and they're just fine with it. It's hard not to see this as another form of nerd sniping (note: not directed at you personally, just talking about a dynamic I've seen with many friends).

I'll agree about pretentiousness, but I do think Intersteller should be given credit for working to get more right than the vast majority of flims, but more importantly for doing an original concept where in many ways, GR itself is a main character. That was a bold bet in a world where we have 9 Fast and Furious movies.
The point was to get the risk/velocity of spread to a much smaller and manageable amount.

Anything after that, if it's still too much risk for someone because they're only comfortable with 100% certainty, they can choose to stay at home.

We're not going to keep society on hold until we reach 100% eradication of a virus, just to appease neurotic people.
I don't think the main problem with Equifax was the Auth info they lost. It was their own business data, e.g. social security numbers etc, which wouldn't have been outsourced to their Auth provider anyway.
Really cool examples and thanks for sharing those slides, super interesting. Both the react app and the figma demo are super impressive. Like you said, I think that we will see a lot more of conversational tasks with machines in general in the future.
Once upon a time that may have been true, but even the better smartphones use phase detection for their autofocus these days.
We used CyberCash (I think) and Authorize.net, which were to Stripe as Altavista was to Google search.

That is to say that even 20 years ago there were middlemen in the payments space, they just were pretty horrendous to work with.
They already do, as far as I understand it Phalanx CIWS can identify and choose to target an object based entirely on radar and other internal sensors.
Also going to voice my love for Red Mars, I found Green Mars to be much more of a slog to get through, but I really like anything KSR writes. Blue Mars was a nice finale though.
(Cristina from Notion here)

We shared a bit more in the past about how most of our user content was stored in a single database instance (see more here: https://www.notion.so/notion/Focus-on-performance-reliabilit...). That is no longer true and we recently re-architected this database to scale horizontally.

Totally understand that you want more options for how to host your data. Unfortunately, we don't have any plans on that front at the moment.
They mean making it into the White House I believe. Ron Paul would certainly attempt to dismantle it, and he'd fail miserably (he'd never win election to begin with though).

The larger confusion on the part of the parent is thinking the President is in charge of much of anything or has the power to dismantle any of these deep state perma structures that have been built up in the post WW2 era; these are structures that survive any given administration, regardless of political agenda, and which nobody really dares to challenge. That includes the always expanding spying systems and military industrial complex. Any President that tries it will be burned out of DC every which way possible. Instant lame duck, crippled by their own party, on the outs with the news media (which is entirely a pet of the deep state), lambasted coming and going, tripped up in staged scandals set up by deep state opponents in the FBI or CIA, probably get impeached a few times for relatively trivial things (vs, say, starting wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya that got a million plus people killed; you know, things you should actually get impeached for). The President is more of a token figurehead today than not.
But it is a product, available for purchase, which the manufactures themselves strongly claim is not gambling.

The manufactures themselves are not setting up terms of service, or gambling rules, that prevent these sorts of things.

Its not cheating anything, when the manufactures are not preventing it and are not saying this is against some gambling rule.
Many regulated organizations do, though.

Single reason we didn't adopt notion is lack of ability to self host.
Weirdly my Django SQL Dashboard project may fit the bill a bit here: you can build up a "dashboard" (which is a tiny bit notebook-like if you squint at it the right way) with multiple SQL queries on it, and save that either as a bookmark or as a "saved dashboard" with a URL.

https://django-sql-dashboard.datasette.io/

In my own work I've been using it for the kind of things that I would normally use a Jupyter notebook for - gathering together research on problems I'm trying to solve.
Good to see it was discussed :)

It is probably better to have native support for small vector operations, as this can also help to streamline SIMD optimization.

In practice (as a video game dev) I only use operators overloading to have infix notation on vector maths.
For viz/DS/ML/AI with JS/TS is either observablehq or and IDE with custom extensions; this project looks relevant if you are already into observablehq.

Shameless plug, we are building a few tools for JS to narrow down this gap as well:
- https://hal9.ai (Drag&Drop / IDE)
- https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Hal9.hal... (VSCode extension)
- https://observablehq.com/@javierluraschi/running-nodejs-in-o... (ObservableHQ extension)

Would love to chat if you are interested in providing feedback, I'm in javier at hal9.ai. Cheers.
Yes. We should, if we can.

We're possibly going to have to terraform Earth in the near future, and could use all the experience we can get.
As a C programmer, I didn't like that Zig just gets rid of macros. I prefer the Rust approach to make better macros.
Question, what advantages does a pure python driver give you over the competition? Is it multi threading support? (psycopg2 does not support cursors over threads)
For the record this was my last public statement about V, which I made nearly 2 years ago: https://twitter.com/andy_kelley/status/1142503808901308418

ends with "I'm genuinely glad it turned out this way. Good luck on your endeavor and welcome to the programming languages club."
Not yet but I'll strongly consider writing one soon! Didn't realize there was so much interest in this.

put a system setting in place that lets you lock down the device if necessary with a password so grandma can use it safely?

As OP points out you do not need an app store monopoly, you just need adjustable device settings.
yeah, if you are a programmer and it doesn't work quickly, you would just code it yourself. But if you are not...
The arms race ends the second someone puts a sandbag in the seat to defeat a pressure sensor; at that point Tesla is off the hook. Without that function Tesla is culpable my mind. Argument #1 from Tesla defenders was 'fake news! you can't do that.' Well you can, in fact, and when a civil jury hears how a simple safety function that is entirely commonplace among other car manufacturers is missing from Tesla my point will be vindicated with a massive award for the plaintiffs, no matter how many downmods I collect for my prediction.
> Any time you take a problem that exists on one computer and spread it across many computers, it gets exponentially more difficult and prone to error.

Hard to argue with that.

Unfortunately sometimes you can't say "we have the single source of truth" about a user; federation exists for organizational reasons.
So you’re telling me if I cut off the rest of my comment at the comma it would suddenly be more acceptable? I doubt it.
One big benefit I see is that it increases design pressure on other features of the language.
Think of the formed paper bowls at Qdoba or similar fast casual. The ones that don’t seem coated yet magically don’t disintegrate when they are covered in oil.

I believe it’s specifically those, not so much things like butcher paper or soda cups.
It's one thing to host your own/maintain your own auth database, but there is a definite benefit of using a tool like Okta SSO to link your authn to other services, if that's your business.
The CDC, FDA, governments, etc have said constantly that the vaccines have a 90-95% efficacy rate.

Anyone who somehow interpreted that as "completely immune" has bad reading comprehension.

This sounds like a strawman argument that you're making, I don't know where you're getting that there's a misconception of the vaccine equating to 100% immunity. No one said that.
https://observablehq.com/ is a cloud hosted platform already.

This thing - Dataflow - is an open source run-on-your-own-machine alternative to the official Observable hosted solution, taking advantage of the fact that Observable itself is JavaScript code with some special sauce that's available as open source runtime/parser libraries.
I think they also have better macros, with compile time code evaluation.
You probably don't need any crypto code at all if you don't roll out your own auth or payment.

Your comments reflect my almost two-year experience with the paid version of Notion.

I found it very difficult to figure out how to use the tools beyond very narrow use-cases they provided in examples.

And I found the docs were almost useless in explaining the overarching design. As a result, despite a lot of time spent, I kept bumping into unexpected limitations or design corners with no way out other than to scrap the document type I was trying to construct.

I went back to Trello for project management, Todoist for to-do's, and my Dropbox-backed markdown files for notes.

It's a shame because with more attention to the user experience and better docs, I think they'd have a killer product.

What from the article are you staking your comment on? Why do you think that? Hoping for a more substantive response.

Edit: I see you fleshed out your comment more.
