The Liberal state has a monopoly on violence: whatever their violence is, like throwing someone into prison, is by nature justified in the eyes of the state.
It's not ironic, and not surprising. HN is very willing to "censor" (i.e. moderate, ban, etc) and on top of that, "politics" is considered off-topic altogether according to the guidelines.

In such an environment, the better ideas often do rise up to the top. Twitter and Facebook are not such environments.

"We" shield ourselves from bad ideas because this forum would be overrun if we didn't.
I've run into issues when interfacing databases and writing interpreters, and probably more that I've forgotten.

Yep! Never thought about it that way, but indeed, PowerPC was a smaller not-server chip intended for personal computers.
You take an extreme example (5G chips in vaccines) to support the idea that we can draw a line in the sand and say what's true & what's false. But if you take an example closer to the line, things start to become less clear. Are masks useful to the general public? If you said "yes" a year ago, you would've been censored for spreading misinformation. If you said "no" yesterday, you would've been censored for spreading misinformation.

Anyway, if you think it's so easy to do a good job censoring information, why don't you point to a single example where that worked out? Just one is sufficient. It's okay, I'll wait.
I get that it’s kind of hip right now to talk about how developers these days are less capable than the mythical prior age where magical rings were forged and the elves still flourished in middle earth. Can you back up your 1%-or-less estimate with anything at all? Binutils is certainly a solid baseline set of tools, but given how frequently $insert_core_tool_but_in_rust/golang/etc shows up on HN, the risk that we forget how to rub sticks together to make fire seems low.
Little evidence for this strategy's efficacy. Single-issue voting doesn't carry a lot of weight and in many cases other candidates would be equally supportive of the policy.

As I often point out, surveillance is bad but so is child abuse and complaining about surveillance without acknowledging that is a good way to get ignored.

I like the explanation you put into [4] in the OP (original post?). Is it possible (necessary?) you could provide some examples of what you mean so that the founders could see exactly how things did/didn't work out for others in the past?

Exactly. They're out of the house more, when they're home they're busy trying to catch up with housework, and they're exhausted.

It's so much harder to engage with a small hyperactive child's fantasy world when you're scraping the bottom of the barrel, no matter how much you want to.
when you aligned anyone right of center with neo-Nazis

Again, I didn't say that.

Furthermore, while it's entirely beside the point, I personally do hold many political positions that might be considered right of center in America; for example, I'm in favor of liberal gun rights and a restriction on late-term abortions.

When I use the term "neo-Nazi", I mean it in a literal sense, not as an insult directed at conservatives. In fact, I went out of my way to distinguish between the center-right and neo-Nazis. There's a big difference between advocating for a balanced budget and joining an armed white nationalist militia to fight a satanic pedophile cult. Pretending otherwise is an obvious bad faith argument.

If anything, by suggesting that these are the same people, you are the one equating conservatives with neo-Nazis. Call me far-left, far-right, or whatever else you want; I just don't see someone like Bush/McCain/Romney storming the Capitol with a Confederate flag while calling for the assassination of acting government officials.
Completely agree, but that only makes these positions more valued by the black market.

Can't get a job at Google under security? Guess I need to hack for Russia.

A good question, but much of it does get answered in the linked articles discussing the proposal.

Large social networks already have API's with partners, but who and how they are allowed to be used is defined through legal agreements and access controls. The access act is intended to regulate how those legal agreements over the API should be defined.

The EFF wants to allow third-party to ask consent of those users in order to use those API's for interoperability. In theory this would not put any additional requirement on the social network, and the consent request could occur out-of-band. The only change would be the legal ramification and access control.

In theory there could be a dominating social network without any API for third-parties, in which this proposal might be defeated. In practice that is very unlikely given the need of large companies. The proposal could also require if needed that internal API, if they exist (which all of them have as a matter of practicality), get opened up in the lack of any external API that can be used to enable interoperability. I would however guess that such a broad brush would be problematic, and a bit unnecessary since again every large social network already has third-party API's.

Do Discord have an API that a selected group of partners has access to? Do Instagram have it too? Given the correct permission, interactions between those two networks would be a matter of a third-party using those API's.

That's only if you're using trademarked voices to begin with though, right?

The reason I think trademark needs to exists is because with voice, like an image or wording, comes a value or expectation of value that can be invested into it. Like Bourdain's voice.

>>How many studies like this need to not replicate before we stop treating them seriously?

Hard to answer this, IMO. It would be hard to stop keep versions of such anecdata from informing our personal worldviews, for example. Business knowledge is basically made out of such stuff.

Replicability, for questions like this may be the wrong bar. Should we expect a relationship between financial hardship and talking to three year olds to be the same for a group of parents in 2021 california and 1997 Tokyo?

A lot of the replication crisis is shoddy work. Bad research. But... a lot of it is a problem of the subject matter itself. It's complex, and can't be isolated. Does dumping a ton of manure in a forest result in more leaves? more flies? Hard to describe the relationship between the manure and leaves in a replicable way. You can do controlled experiments, but the lab version doesn't answer the same question... the one about complexity.

IDK... I'm not excusing the replication crisis and many of the worst affected fields do need to pay attention to the gunk they've accumulated. OTOH, we do need ways of describing relationships that are complex. "We know nothing" is insufficient.
Wouldn't this method have its own issues with observation awareness biases?
No, it's not. evdev forces you to have your keyboard/mouse either fully captured or not, which is a pain if you're just working with a productivity suite. With LG's SPICE client input is sent to the VM via the same channel that evdev does, but also gives greater control allowing us to keep the cursor in sync with the local cursor, making the VM feel as if it's just another application on your desktop.

> CRTs are potentially worse. It takes the electron beam 16 ms to paint the screen.

Back when I had CRTs, 60Hz displays were the older, less-common, cheapo option. I'm having a hard time remembering a CRT display that wasn't at least 75Hz (I believe this was the VESA standard for the minimum to be flicker-free), but most of the monitors I used had refresh rates in the 80-90Hz range. I remember a beautiful higher-end CRT that had a refresh rate around 110Hz.

85Hz gives you a frame time of 11ms, which doesn't sound much better, but is a 30% improvement over 16ms.

But then your observation isn't really about restaurants at all, and is instead a general complaint that mixes various amounts of:

1) "the rent's too damn high"

2) too much renting going on, not enough <something else>

I'm not sure I disagree with either, but it doesn't seem that can explain the situation in restaurants, since it affects huge chunks of the population and the economy.
> Tesseract was originally developed at Hewlett-Packard Laboratories Bristol and at Hewlett-Packard Co, Greeley Colorado between 1985 and 1994, with some more changes made in 1996 to port to Windows, and some C++izing in 1998.

I have used Tesseract for OCRing scanned books and it was great. I had no idea it was so old, nor that it had been through so many maintainers. To all of them past and present, thank you.

Most of the delicious vegetarian Indian dishes I've had are loaded with dairy-based fat and still not as good as the meat dishes. This lines up exactly with what the GP claims.
The recent improvements have been mostly to resolution, fps, and dynamic lighting. More of just the growing pains that have significant overhead compared to the old days where 1280x720 was considered a great monitor resolution. Just look at these benchmarks from when Crysis was released, where 1080p was considered top end and 30fps on a high end GPU was considered good. 1440p has almost double the pixels to render and
4K has quadruple the pixels to render to. The nice thing is that at around 8-16k the eye can no longer distinguish a difference in higher resolutions, so at that point we can stop devoting extra GPU resources to rendering more pixels and instead focus more on the quality of those pixels.

On the other hand, I know the names and a couple dates of my ancestors going back to the 1700s. But more than two generations back, I know nothing about them. Except a famous one, Aaron Burr (a brother, not direct). Yes, that guy!

"Memoirs Found in a Bathtub" punches above its weight for Lem. Solaris is good too. I find Lem interesting but only sporadically enjoyable.

The Strugatskys have gone from being "Roadside Picnic" + a largely unobtainable back catalogue - I expensively amused myself by putting together a collection of pretty much everything they published in English a few years back. They have been celebrated (arguably, over-celebrated) by SF Masterworks and other recent publications so almost everything is back in print.

I enjoyed the new mix-up of "Lame Fate / Ugly Swans" (Ugly Swans was previously published as a standalone book, but is now intertwined with a book about the hassles of dealing with an AI-based evaluator of book quality, the book in question being Ugly Swans). The Doomed City was the original candidate for that, but was too long to fit - that's also available on SF Masterworks.

Have retros where you talk about the process and how stories went from a high level. What went well, what went poorly, what should we keep doing or change. Process improvements will emerge organically.

There are several others. I'm not a climate scientist, but my understanding is that the most significant potential negative feedback loop by far is the potential for increased cloud cover from increased humidity. It's evidently the most difficult aspect of global warming to model, although climate scientists are making continuous progress. In addition, the marginal radiative forcing of CO2 decreases with its concentration, which means both that increases in emissions do less harm as things get worse, and that reductions in emissions do less good.
the language server protocol was a great initiative, it's however very difficult to implement into editors, and the popular language servers, such as the one VScode uses for Python is closed source and only available for VScode...

To be fair, Treesitter is also very hard to use/implement into an editor. It however seem more portable as it can compile to wasm, if you could only figure out how to use it...

I think the problems with Treesitter could be solved with documentation and examples. I don't think the problems with the language server protocol can be fixed as there is too much work to make a full featured language server, so no one will be willing to maintain them.

While the language server turns the editor into a simple io-terminal, Treesitter is like: - here's a tree - you parse it. I would like there to be a middle ground, where you could for example request a list of all variables in scope in the source code on row X. Something ontop of Treesitter, or maybe Treesitter "plugins".
We’ve known about this effect for awhile. Tree growth has increased on volume but decreased in density since the industrial revolution[0]. A small bump in plant growth can not be seen as anything but the smallest of a silver lining.

> I'm assuming native americans were not consulted with the creation of the mascot to begin with.

Seems like you are affirming the consequent and assuming it is harmful to native Americans.

You are ignoring the issue of the paper. If the decision is based on a scientific paper, but the paper is conflicted or unvalidated, that is harmful because of the misuse of the scientific paper.

If you want to change the mascot because of Native American’s preferences, that is a different matter.
I once ran across an inner city neighborhood with 4 friends to see Solaris, due to being a bit late. We got in just in time - I watched it raptly, and at the end of the movie, looked to my left to see all 4 of my friends angelically asleep in the front row of the theater. So Tarkovsky movies are at least 80% in this fashion.
This is what infuriates me about all the "I don't care about money, I just wish mum/dad had spent more time with us and less time working" sentiment. Sure, some parents are workaholics at the expense of their kids but I'd wager the vast majority of the time, the parents hate being away from their kids and are only doing it to meet the family's financial needs.

If someone truly believes that money isn't important, it just proves their parents shielded them from the ugly side of poverty.
Great question. We know that a large enough volcano eruption can cause a year long winter so I'm curious how much large scale forest fires can compare. Also, assuming regrowth is allowed, the CO2 impact from the burned wood is neutral in the long run.

And there is valet for local development.

Amazing ecosystem and community.

Good luck with your app.
I have been a large defender of Tesla on this front despite the ambiguity with Auto Pilot etc. In this case, I have to agree. The feature they are selling is Full Self Driving, but the capability is not there yet. I think a fair compromise would be FSD (99.99) or FSD (97.02) where they have to declare the estimated intervention rate for the current version. THis is much more honest and transparent and would still allow them to "pre"-sell FSD. At this point it is an aspirational title and not a delivered product - even despite how good it is (and probably worth the money for a long trip).

(I didn't opt to randomly choose the middle letters, but instead sorted them, using reverse alphabetical order when the word came out the same. This makes some words insanely difficult--functional and interpretation are impossible to pick out so mangled, and I wrote the entire paragraph before pasting it).

If you thought that was too hard to read, here's the original:

Actually, that is not true. It seems like it ought to be, but that is in large part due to only very slight munging done to the text. If you try harder, and apply a more aggressive transformation to the text, you will find that it is no longer easy to read the text. Especially note how the longer words in this sample are far harder to read than those that are shorter; it is the omnipresence of the small, functional words that lends itself to easy interpretation, and longer words (more heavily mangled) become exceedingly difficult challenges to puzzle out what they were originally intended to represent.
