In your view, what does tech advancement mean though? Its easier to discuss data, rather than argue over opinion. We did get better hardware, better client software from other vendors, etc. Or are you limiting innovation to mean they didn't improve their browser? Personally, I think the hardware wasn't ready in the 90s for full blown web-apps. Just look at the computing requirements of most websites today. For the hardware that I had in the 90s, I could barely play mp3's and run 1-2 apps without the audio skipping.

Please don't break the site guidelines like this. It poisons the ecosystem here, and it discredits your view. The latter is especially pernicious if your view happens to be the right one, because then you're also discrediting the truth, which harms everybody (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...).

If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.

Edit: yikes, you've been breaking the site guidelines a ton lately. When accounts are primarily using HN for ideological or political battle, we ban them; also when they're mostly posting unsubstantive and/or flamebait comments; and you've been doing both of these things. That's not cool. We've also had to warn you several times about this in the past. I don't want to ban you because you've posted good and relevant comments in the past, but if you don't stop this pattern, we're definitely going to have to. Please stop this pattern.

Have you ever used a Linux LiveCD? Or booted a machine off the network? The latter is a very common way to operate servers.

In both cases you can write to the filesystem just fine. The writes just stay in RAM and don't get committed to disk.

There are cons to this approach, but you've listed none that apply in the real world
So I'm wondering if image-based NN generation will ever run across the same copyright issues as the source code generation of Copilot that's becoming a hot issue at the moment.

It's already known that Copilot was trained on GPL licensed code, and code can easily be searched to check for copying.

What about a neural net that generates collages that resemble some obscure photographer's work that's under copyright? What about determining the copyright status of a model without knowing its source material? What will be the standard for determining copyright violations when, unlike code, it is not possible to coerce the model to output a near-1:1 duplicate of the original?

And what about training a neural net on images that are illegal to possess in certain jurisdictions?
There are a lot of us who don't consider Assange a journalist, but some foreign actor with a website collecting and publishing secrets to injure the enemies of Russia. To call him "the most hard-hitting journalist of the past decade" is frankly laughable.

I'm not sure how you can claim the charges are fictitious unless you haven't read them. The charging document for the superseding indictment is fairly straightforward and relatively short. What problems do you have with it?
It's okay when CIA convinces some non-US citizen to become an agent and provide secrets from their government. All governments do this. Somehow it's different in Assange's case because he is not government entity.

I think the fact that it's built-in should not be overlooked.
As someone who was following Red Hat as an industry analyst at the time, it was growing a lot and everything that implies came with it. To the sibling comment's point, that meant moving away from "everyone" knowing everyone else, moving away from a lot of people being involved with and knowledgeable about most of the company's technology (though JBoss was still sort of its own island at the time), and lots of things being sort of ad hoc. A lot of people had pretty flexible roles.

I won't say things totally changed but, as is necessary as you grow, more process was put in place, there was a more deliberate use of data, a shift from "random acts" that made sense in isolation to more programmatic ways of doing things.

These things weren't bad and were in fact needed. But, even if Red Hat wasn't really still a startup when Whitehurst took over, it wasn't really a mature large company either.
> So presumably we could learn to distinguish closely packed shapes if we were familiar enough with the conventions.

The data visualization people have already demonstrated this with sparklines and small multiples. There are fewer preattentive attributes than most people would assume so I expect increasingly dense visual representations to approach text (e.g. logograms).

I'll also point out that data viz people have also come up with reasonable solutions to problems mentioned like wire bundling. I haven't seen an auto-layout algorithm I like but I've found a reasonable guess followed by manual manipulation with automatic wire routing to be okay for visualizations and the circuit drawing and VLSI I did 20 years ago in college.
This is likely good news, but it’s important to understand context.

In yet another case of optimizing for a metric, 5 year cancer survivor rate used to roughly equate to a cure. However, as more people are living longer in treatment with cancer, many things that only slightly slow death can look awesome while only adding a few months on average.

For something as cheap and side effect free as Aspirin it’s likely an obvious choice. Just don’t except long term survival odds to improve as much as suggested.

Don't give anyone a board seat until or unless you're forced to at Series A or later. Absolutely do not give one up before then.

What you're asking about sounds more like a board of advisors, which some companies do have. But the general advice is you should never give someone equity for nothing. So if you want someone to be an "advisor," ask them to invest a small amount (e.g. a $5k SAFE) in exchange for an "advisor" title.

Do NOT give away your equity or board seats. That's just dumb.
First thing I see is a prime video ad. Amazon is helping fund neovim.
I mirrored the pinout of an AVR once and spent a few hours debugging why ISP wasn't working (so I unsocketed it for programming) and all the pins were wrong. It worked just fine pulling ground and Vcc from the I/O pins just opposite. These are of course fairly low-power 1.8-5 V devices, so when run on 5 V there is a huge margin for the supply voltage.

It took several seconds and added some logic I didn't ask for, but this is already interesting.

I don't need a lot of things, and I just buy local, or for tech, sometimes Newegg, or again, a local outfit. Hit up Costco once a month, too.

At first it was a conscious choice not to use Amazon, but later it just kind of doesn't matter anymore. If they didn't exist, it wouldn't matter to me.
Or in this case a meta study. It's hard to say how meaningful the results are because the purposes and methods of the underlying studies, meaning it's not likely they were designed to control for other factors that would impact what this study was looking at.

This is a really nifty 'what it' to think about, but I don't think IBM needed ARM to have owned the world. They had/have POWER & PPC, and the associated development ecosystem, which gave them processor coverage from low-end embedded thru supers. They just needed to tweak their go-to-market to match the flexibility that ARM has given their licensees and it could have been a very different story.
My wife got flagged as an extremist and started getting notices from Facebook yesterday every time she logged in.

Which I mean, my wife believes that the government using the threat of violence to collect taxes is immoral, unethical, and that all transactions between all individuals should be voluntary and nonviolent. Which in terms of popular discourse, is very "extreme". She was thinking about running for local public office an a platform of "the government will not take away your propery for failure to pay taxes" which a surprising number of local people on Facebook supported. She's been going to Meetups and having people say "oh yeah I saw your meme, the government sucks, keep it up!" She bugs local politicans on Facebook, their ads keep popping up in her feed, so she'll ask them things like "do you think it's moral to seize someone's property when they can't pay their taxes?" which of course gets bullshit nonanswers from politicians. Nobody wants to say "I think it's moral to seize someone's house because they're behind on taxes".

An authoritarian government wouldn't like someone like my wife, and they certainly wouldn't want her getting likes on Facebook. After all, what if she DOES run for office? What if she wins? What if other people like her win?
Yes, I was also quite excited until I saw the message limits, it feels very archaic.

So far the best email service I've found is Tutanota, who provide a custom domain for €12 / mo if you pay yearly [1], which is the cheapest I've found so far. I also like how my mail is encrypted at rest. The only downside is I have to use their web client which has limited features.

Assange maintained that he was fine in the UK, but worried about Sweden because it would be easier for the US to extradite from Sweden.

That's quite simply a load of bollocks. The UK has been pally with the US, was involved in Iraq with the US, and willing to extradite far more than Sweden in the past.
Grim is a funny word here. AA was a small local company that, over a 20 year period, outsmarted and out-sold the giants of the clothing industry. And unlike those giant companies, all products were made domestically, sweatshop-free, at relatively high wages, while providing opportunities for undocumented workers. Of course instead of focusing on anything positive, the press decided it didn't like the male founder and kept reporting on sexual harassment allegations that were never proven and mostly not even addressed in a court of law. And eventually about 2400 workers (says Wikipedia) lost their jobs when the new owner decided to make "American Apparel" somewhere besides America. Yea, that last part is pretty grim, actually.
Not a popular opinion but I think most countries at this time are vassal states of the US, China or Russia. That power is wielded in different ways by each and with different levels of openness but I think its true.
You made a claim and then simply dumped links leaving the reader to connect the dots. There is nothing in those links even close to what you were claiming. This is simply not a good way to engage in a discussion. $.02
I've been using neovim since the initial fork. The Neovim 0.5 is by far the most impressive milestone yet. I tried it couple of months back (before release) and immediately jumped to support the developers through the Github Sponsors after trying it out.

> The main exception was Jan 6, which we've been taught to believe is apparently worse than the civil war.

I’ve only seen that claim made in very narrow contexts (e.g., insurrectionists actually occupying the Capitol), in which it was central to the context of the comparison with the Civil War on the narrow dimension that it was universally understood that the Civil War was generally worse.

Also seen some “not since the Civil War” comparisons (e.g., billeting troops in the Capitol for its security), but those aren't even narrow-dimension “worse than” comparisons.
The issue with CRT is that it's anti-white. If we would hold it up to the same standard as something like for example the Culture of Critique.
1. A quick google result shows about 10x. 1 million vs 100,000. Still, I think we'll see Tesla hit a ceiling at some point. I could be wrong. But for the most part, cars like the Model 3 and the Cybertruck existed in a near vacuum of desirable futuristic electric vehicles. Competition is starting to finally show up, and not everyone will choose Tesla. Plus, Tesla needs to produce - if they ramp quickly, I'd suspect maybe 100,000 Cybertrucks to sell each quarter. Ford also needs to ramp quickly, though. They've sold less than 20,000 Mach-e because they've only produced that many.

2. In the EV space, production is key. And batteries are central to EV production. No doubt about it.

3. Tesla has the best charger network (in the U.S. at least; I'm not fully versed.) The combined competitive networks are growing but they need to improve on quality, too. Still, I think this moat is shrinking, not growing.

My thoughts too. Something/someone ate these corpses using tools. Also, is there some proof that it is a usual thing? Because modern humans in particular circumstances can do cannibalism too. So it seems that there are a lot of extrapolations there.

Another point seemed to me a bit far fetched: that due to anatomy Neanderthals could not speak. But there are birds that imitate pretty well human speech.
Amazon used to deliver stuff cheap and fast, but that hasn't been true for a little while now. I haven't been happy with Amazon's delivery service for a handful of years (well before the pandemic). Not only do they offer poor delivery service (stuff like throwing packages into an empty lot near my house that I have no access to, saying a package was delivered when it wasn't, not following the delivery instructions, consistently delivering after the estimated window, etc.), their customer service does nothing about this and has outright lied to me on the few occasions I was lucky enough to get a live person on the phone.

It's made me deprioritize Amazon when it comes to my online shopping.

I haven't used DCC, but it looks like an interesting anti-spam toolkit:

https://www.dcc-servers.net/dcc/

It appears to support "weak" IP matching:

> All or part of the IP address of the SMTP client can be optionally ignored by DCC clients as far as the greylist triple is concerned. This feature may be useful for legitimate mail systems that shuffle messages among SMTP clients between retransmissions. See the dccm and dccd man pages.

https://www.dcc-servers.net/dcc/greylist.shtml

It doesn't quite sound like it does a job of 100% "same email, same sender, different mx in same domain" -but I suspect it works well enough in practice?

> Usually the DCC greylist system requires that an almost identical copy of the message be retransmitted during the embargo. If weak-body is present, any message with the same triple of sender IP address, sender mail address, and target mail address ends the em-bargo, even if the body of the message differs.

> If weak-IP is present, all mail from an SMTP client at an IP address is accept after any message from the same IP address has been ac-cepted.

https://www.dcc-servers.net/dcc/dcc-tree/dccd.html#OPTION-G

I can't recall what I used for greylisting last -possibly greylistd.

Anyway, the smart play these days might be to whitelist/greylist via SPF - I'm not sure if spammers (of the variant caught by greylists) generally have SPF?

What makes this different? This seems like a painfully crowded space.
Is anybody else uncomfortable about the idea that an LSP client is now baked into the editor (as opposed to being a plugin)? Are there big performance gains to this approach?

While LSP is great, it basically came from nowhere in the last couple of years. My concern: what if something definitively better comes along in another couple years, and we're "stuck" with this baked into the editor?

For context, using ALE, I've been able to gracefully migrate my language-specific helpers from pre-LSP to post-LSP universes, over the years as LSP helpers have become definitively better and faster, one language at a time, all without needing to recompile or download a new binary.

I'm very open to the idea that I'm missing something obvious, because I have a lot of respect for neovim and neovim contributors. I understand that neovim is not trying to replace vim but evolve it. This feels like a move away from plugins and into monolith territory, which feels like a big step. Curious to hear other's thoughts.

To be clear, I'm not for or against this, I'm mostly curious about the reasoning / thinking behind this, if anybody has links I'd love to read them.
Yes, CIA does all sorts of horrible things. (On January 6 I remarked that events in Washington reminded me of similar events in Latin American capitals. Bad thoughts!) I'm sure KGB did as well, while it still existed. I'm even prepared to consider that USA college professors have done some bad things. Some professors may even have implied that communism isn't the most terrible invention of humanity.

All of that is true without doubt. But why listen to this guy? "Bezmenov" literally translates to "nameless". [0] He claims in this video to be a propagandist with a history of producing propaganda. His specific claims (e.g. the 15%/85% thing) are totally unverifiable. (And by the way, that does the 15%/85% thing imply about CIA, FBI, etc? Whose opinion do they really want to influence?) Listening to him reminds me mostly of the "incubator babies" girl. If you already believe what he's saying, maybe it's reassuring. If you don't, it won't convince you.

I still don't understand why this character fascinates you so. I honestly wish that more of my schoolmates had been convinced of the benefits of communism. I wasn't, but I would appreciate a modicum of ideological variety. Clearly the way we're doing things in this country is fucked up, and there is very little public discussion of that fact that doesn't boil down to red-blue distraction. Let's try anything else. Ghosts of the Cold War might imply something not to do, but they aren't the solution to our problems.

I don't buy the argument that if not everyone uses it, nobody should get it.

BTW, I would read TV repair manuals as a kid (yes, weird). There was always the "check to see if it is plugged in". Plugging TVs in made a lot of money for service people.

I see similar things in car manuals for car won't start. "Put gas in it."

Edit: This was back in the days when you could repair a TV with a soldering iron and a screwdriver. Every hardware store had a tube testing machine. I'd have fun by randomly swapping the tubes that fit in the same socket and seeing what effect that would have on the TV's operation.

Sometimes yes, you are right, but this depend on the area.

I remember a study from the north of Spain concluding that only around 11% of the wildfires with known cause were by lightning. Most people would guess a much higher percentage if asked. In 2020, some places here experienced a 94% less wildfires than in previous years also. The only variable changing was humans. Everybody at home by covid19 = no wildfires.

To fellow Canadians with better direct experience here, are this hot waves being coupled with heavy (or dry) storms?
An Intel NUC style computer with openmediavault, or other easy to use open source NAS solution is what I would use in that case.

If you don't care about the small size of a NUC, an old office PC with a couple hard drives should do well.
There are many PHEV out there with much better all-electric range. 25 miles is a pittance.
It probably harmed some organisms, just not any organism that could complain about the adverse effects to us humans.

This thing happened 1.7 billion years ago, in Precambrian eon. So when this natural nuclear reactor was active there weren't many animals around anywhere in the world, let alone in that particular spot.
> The issue with CRT is that it's anti-white.

That's not the issue previously claimed but, like it, also false. CRT is not anti-White.
And I'm saying that virtually every country on Earth has some military knowledge. You really think that France/the German principalities/England/the Ottoman Empire/the PL Commonwealth/the Kievan Rus'/... just forgot everything after a war, and that Spain, miraculously, was the only country to understand that experience is a thing?

And do you believe that the Southern American populations religiously waited for the White Man to bring them the concept of armed conflicts, and that they lived in perfect harmony until then, miraculously oblivious to the concept of conquest and imperialism?
