I suspect that's because "kiwi" can be a nickname for someone from New Zealand. I tried replacing it with "taco" and got the expected response.

The serving size of a taco is 1 taco, in case anyone was wondering.
I would have preferred IPFS to do the storage and propagation of data really well and not implemented stuff like IPNS in the core.

To me this should be a separate codebase. And I see this in other features they have been including too.

I'm using IPFS quite heavily to store content generated on https://pollinations.ai but there is no way I could run it without a centralized node that I have control over at the moment because otherwise it would just be painfully slow and unusable.

I love the idea of content addressed decentralized data. I have no real use for IPNS at the moment and many of the other features of the core IPFS stack.
I don't even think that rebase would get slower as the repo grows. It would only depend on how many commits are being rebased (and the contents of those commits).
I had similar concerns before getting mine. The build quality is definitely not as high end as a mbp but it's acceptable. I'm happy with it although I do hope they make future versions more sturdy.

The track pad is basically the same story. No real complaints but it could be better.
Eh, they provide a useful service. I wouldn't want to run my own git server.
A solo developer may be able to make this call but in any size organization, good luck with that.
The "permanent web" goal didn't survive that well. I work closely with IPFS since 2018, and it's not part of the narative by now.

The distributed part is still going strong, but in my eyes distributed (or decentralization) should be a tool, not a goal.

The question is which kind of Internet we want to build with these distributed infrastructure? If it's just cloning the current Internet, then I don't see what it brings.

My personal answer is that we should build a democratic Internet. One where people are members of the Internet, instead of mere users, and decisions are made in a democratic process, like in a state. This kind of Internet can only be implemented using the distributed/decentralized tools.
This is utterly untrue, tons & tons of H1Bs are making over $100k, and I personally know one making $180k (to the OP's example). Also contrary to popular belief it's not that difficult to switch jobs as an H1B, so if one was underpaid they can find a market salary elsewhere. I do agree that the bodyshops don't pay much
Congrats!

Full time indie is a fun and scary adventure at the same time, good luck!

One question, why DX 12? i'm kinda sad when i see indie choose proprietary non-portable tech..

Not to say that vulkan is better (i hate it), but i'm curious

yeah, I was thinking the same thing. I've never benchmarked it, but I assume rebase speed is a result of the delta of commits between your branch and the branch you're rebasing against, not the absolute size of commits for a repo

More interested in hearing more about the use case for this tool. AFAIK Git was created for use with Linux, which is a large codes base with lots of churn. One would asume rebase would work with a large codebase like that
We started with Expansion Cards because they are they simplest both for us to release a documentation package around and for a third party to develop. We will be expanding out from there though.

It's because you're shilling your random coin on an article not specifically about cryptocurrency. Feels like spam to many.
Meanwhile, the USA is fretting over personal pronouns.
"Most" ends up being surprising(ex: ARM has a fairly weak memory model). I've seen a lot of code with aligned access and extensive use of "volatile" in MSVC/x86 explode once it was ported to other architectures.
Art+com v google did happen and is findable via a web search. What's not clear to me is whether this is anything more than a typical NPE/patent troll lawsuit. (Google won the lawsuit and the patent claims were invalidated because of prior art or other reasons.)
> You statement that "in that depth and meaning are what I value" is an explicit argument that there is no depth or meaning in what other people here value.

Rather, it seems that the statement is saying that HHTTG lacks depth and meaning for him. (In the context that people like it anyway, but that doesn't imply they don't value depth and meaning; maybe they just like the humor, too, which he doesn't get that much.)
In re the latter, yes, they list a load of variations (most 'coming soon') of ANSI/ISO and regional keycaps on the site, and AIUI they're all compatible.

Of course, Framework doesn't want to have to manufacture different chassis or whatever for them either, so it's believable and makes sense. (And I'm sure it's true on some level for competitors, even Apple - surely it's basically compatible and swappable, they just don't sell them.)
> There is no system to keep content alive so links will still die.

Torrent trackers solved this in a very interesting way. They created an economic system where bandwidth was the currency, incentivizing the permanent seeding of content. It was illegal to take more than you gave. I've even seen an academic paper studying their system!

Bandwidth as a currency eventually proved to be a failure. It enabled the rise of seedboxes, dedicated servers featuring terabytes of storage and connections to high capacity network links. Just like the IPFS centralized gateways you mentioned. They would eventually monopolize all seeding, removing any normal person's ability to gain currency. In some trackers, if you wanted to consume content, your only options were renting one of these seedboxes or uploading new content to the tracker. You always stood to gain at least as much bandwidth as the size of the content you uploaded. The seedboxes would monitor recent uploads and instantly download your new content from you so that they could undercut you. I suppose it was a form of market speculation.

They also failed to realize that there is no uploading without downloading. By penalizing leechers economically, they disincentivized downloading. This led to users being choosier: instead of downloading what they like, they'd download more popular stuff that's likely to provide higher bandwidth returns on their investment. Obscure content seeders would not see much business, so to speak, due to the low demand for the data. Users would stock up on popular and freeleech content so they could get any spare change they could. The more users did this, the less each individual user would get. Then seedboxes came and left them with nearly nothing.

This was eventually solved by incentivizing what was truly important: redundancy. Trackers created "bonus points" awarded to seeders of content every hour they spent seeding, regardless of how much data they actually uploaded to other users. These points can be traded for bandwidth. This incentivized users to keep data available at all times, increasing the number of redundant copies in the swarm. People will seed even the most obscure content for years and years. In some trackers, these rewards were inversely proportional to the amount of seeders: you made more when there were fewer seeders. This encouraged people to actively find these poorly seeded torrents and provide redundancy for them.

We can learn from this. People should be compensated somehow for providing data redundancy: keeping data stored on their disks, and allowing the software to copy it over the network to anyone who needs it. The data could even be encrypted, there's no reason people even need to know what it is. Perhaps a cryptocurrency could find decent application here. Isn't there a filecoin? Not sure how it works.
Monetization will mainly happen by selling "highlighted" / emphasized pins, popups or employer branding pages for companies looking for more employees / applicants.
“Set up a new service and migrate all your clients” sounds _worse_ than “update the centrally managed config for existing clients” though? I’m only dealing with double-digit numbers of devices, and this “non-problem” sounds like a nightmare...
Exactly. To get the beginnings of real adoption, a technology has to do something better. A specific thing. Better enough that people switch.

The early web's competition was things like FTP, Gopher, and email-driven apps (e.g., Listservs, the Usenet Oracle). Plus paper-based stuff, like department phone books, mailing documents around, etc. It was hugely better than any of those for many common uses, so adoption was rapid.

Once you have a critical mass of users, then it can make sense to add other things in. But for that first audience, we can't be vague, selling some shining future that will happen eventually.
These are developers? I’m a bit shocked, but this confirms my gut feeling that crypto is a huge bubble driven by Tether. It only takes government regulation to burst it, which imo is inevitable.

Even if you have linear history on main (squash commits from PRs). You still have this problem if you have multiple out-standing PRs and one of them is dependent on another.
thanks. now i see them.
I felt pathetic while reading this article. I stopped after every paragraph to switch to Reddit and refresh my notifications. Great article and discussion
Ask HN: Why are comments disabled for the “X is Hiring” posts?
Just an honest question I had... I would have thought that these hiring posts from YC companies would be a great vehicle to advertise their company product, culture, etc., especially since the posts themselves are artificially boosted.

More than once I've thought -- "that sounds like a cool company, maybe their founders would do an informal Q&A", only to discover that there were no comments.

Is it because they got flooded with negative comments about the company in question?
Everyone grandstands about everyone else's atrocities.
Okay, but it's not 2001 anymore. Bittorrent was useful because parallelizing uploads across a broad network increased speed to a degree that content hosts couldn't manage.

But that's not true anymore, most internet power-users are on broadband connections, many of which are symmetric, transfer speeds up or down are no longer a limiter that pushes people towards decentralization.

So when considering a decentralized system like IPFS, the downsides of decentralization, like availability, edit control, and service support, are much more salient.

There are a lot of things that "could work if everybody uses it". You can never get there if the thing isn't desirable compared to existing alternatives.
Here's an alternate piece by the same author with some fairly different numbers? https://insights.dice.com/2021/02/12/20-highest-paying-h-1b-...
The goal is to increase the amount of information on the technologies and tech stack used in the companies step by step. Best case will be that companies will enter this data by themself to attract more employees / applicants.
RIP to a real one. I've played with all the major array langs, but J is the one I keep coming back to. There's still so much more I have to learn from this guy.
I’m pretty sure that isn’t true for real programs. The computer has a finite number of possible states depending on its physical properties or theoretical architecture - if you return to a state, there is a cycle and it will not terminate. Eventually it will hit the cycle or terminate.
Actually, I don’t really want the feature. It’s complicated and it doesn’t really fit with the rest of the language (it breaks fundamental rules, as above, and has scoping issues).

Worst of all, though, it’s really just another way to write if-elif-else chains that call `isinstance` - a pattern which Python traditionally discouraged in favour of duck-typing.
Sir David Armess was stabbed midday Friday, there was a preliminary investigation, two buildings searched, a suspect aprehended, it was declared an act of terrorism, and the Home Secretary is talking about a nation-affecting policy change, all by ~midday Sunday; two days, mostly weekend. Grenfell Tower burned on June 14th 2017, we're now four years, a general election, a different Prime Minister and a long public enquiry after it. There is quite a difference there which "immediate" glosses over. Is there no need for an enquiry to figure out what went wrong in this situation? Is there no need to discuss it in the House of Commons this next week before suggesting what to do about it? Do you suspect, as I do, that the connection between between social media anonymity and murderous acts of terrorism is more complex and less clear-cut than the connection between fire safety regulations and building fire risk?

Here[1] is the Director of Policy at the British Safety Council commenting "Even allowing for the tardiness of statute and government process, two years on from the catastrophic events of Grenfell, the lack of tangible change to the underlying root causes and systemic failures is quite frankly lamentable." and that was in 2019, two years after it and now two years ago.

Edit: My original comment was too snarky and politically aggressive for the HN guidelines, and it is the case that there were £200M allocated for building improvements and that a huge police investigation takes time and charges of corporate manslaughter may still be brought in due time.

This is exactly what I am talking about though. Most H1Bs work at sweatshops like Tata and this skews the statistics. For any place one would actually want to work at H1Bs are paid the same as any other engineer.
It's not that it was offensive, it's that it was too generic to be interesting. The problem with generic comments (like, e.g., "quantum computing is fringe science") is that they don't contain any specific information—they just make grand, empty claims. These nearly always cause discussion to go in a further generic direction (e.g. "no it isn't", "yes it is"). This is basically the arrow of entropy applied to forum threads.

There's another aspect too: the more generic comments are, the more predictable they are. Since they don't contain much actual information, there's nothing really new to say, which means people repeat the same things over and over. Often they get angry as they do it, since indignation usually fills the vacuum when curiosity is absent.

All of this is the opposite of what we're looking for on HN. What we want: specific, unpredictable, curiosity-gratifying conversation.

Isn’t the net effect still time? The apps have your attention, so the real task at hand takes twice as long. That weekend you wanted to work on a project? Gone to Reddit and YouTube. Not enough time to do the things you want when the things you impulsively scroll are hijacking time and attention.
That's how subtraction is actually defined, so that's not a bad idea.
Is Framework already too big to fail with all this momentum? I really hope so. It's essentially the new Thinkpad.
What about fusion? Is it still a pipe dream?
yes I know - I am implying a future where they Just Work and we do the hard work of building needed abstractions

my code is possible if people want it :) the real value of NixOS is hardware and OS config can be turned into libraries!
In the application I referred to, PGO was also used. However, that only applies -Os to cold code, and if what you're doing is very branchy, it can help even in the hot path.
> At best we can estimate the risk of a pool over it’s lifetime is probably under 2% and the risk from all pools is also under 2% in any given year

How are you getting this number?

> The risk of any pool over the next 50 years, now that we have very little hard data on

What are you talking about? We have plenty of data. We literally have decades of physical testing and hundreds of millions (if not billions) of dollars worth of simulation testing. What do you think Sierra[0] (#3 super computer in the world) is doing all day? It is a classified machine at a DOE lab. Even a substantial portion of Summit does this same research (it also does a lot of climate research). But come on, 3 of the top 10 super computers are at US DOE labs, and the 3 exascale machines being built are also targeted for DOE labs (Aurora, Frontier, El Capitan (classified)). LLNL and ORNL spend significant resources on nuclear research.

Probably depends on your jurisdiction (US, EU, etc.). In general from a EU point of view, we crawl the data like any search engine (google, bing, etc.) and extract relevant data.
Isn't UEFI, if configured correctly, supposed to protect against this?
I think before AR glasses show up, we may end up modeling the world like this. If your local supermarket created a virtual version of the store, you could just hold up your iPhone and see the the store through the AR camera. Instead of asking a human for help, you’d simply hold the phone up to something and some virtual 3D store worker would come and give you answers.

The metaverse will most likely have to be built this way until we get real AR. The old jobs will go away, of course.
As someone who rode fixed gear (“no gears”) in Edinburgh for many years, I can assure you it’s absolutely possible, and wouldn’t take an average person that long to get fit enough to do it either.

I’d actually argue Glasgow city centre has more challenging gradients - some of the streets around Garnet Hill/Strathclyde Uni are _much_ more taxing IMHO on a single speed than most gradients in Edinburgh’s old and new towns.

I’d 100 percent still buy a bike with gears for my kids if I lived in Edinburgh though!

The bigger issue with Dutch style bikes is the “coaster brakes” they often have - these are very inferior stopping power-wise to even something like a dirt cheap v-brake design. Less of an issue again on the flat, they are truly awful to try and come to a halt on a long steep decent though.
Which probably indicates some algorithmic way the chip determines true, non-light based change.

Yet, this also means the possibility of some missed changes, of some changes being taken as lighting changes, instead of object change.

Was that a cloud, or a large shape close to the lens?

Hmm. Gonna have to read on this.
What the Secondary NFT Market Looks Like
You're not wrong, I've been a salty little bitch boy lately. Sorry. Not going to change any minds like that.

I do think that y'all admins have some moral complicity to wrestle with here in platforming folks making demonstrably false statements. Which wouldn't be a problem if there weren't such a vast asymmetry in the energy required to make such a statement and to dispute it.

Sometimes there are productive threads in this forum. But I'm not sure I've ever seen one about nuclear energy.

Y'all don't platform politics, presumably because the discussions turn into unproductive flamewars. Nuclear energy is in the same boat but with... somewhat higher stakes. So maybe y'all should consider not platforming discussions about nuclear energy...
How I Have Used Python Professionally
Have you actually tried to dive into the part you're interested in? Where did you find the complexity? I've done it a few times for different components and found them pretty well separated and the source pretty straightforward. I have other issues with them, but complexity/obscurity of the is was not one of them.
We've tested the mobile version on iPhones and Chrome developer tools. If you found a problem feel free to send us a screenshot.
What's most wild about this is that they're doing this big of a hiring push for a new offering, in just one region of the world.

It's obvious Facebook sees the metaverse as the next big platform, and they want to own it the way Apple and Google own mobile today.

I wonder if, instead of scrubbing CO2, it would make sense to increase the other constituents of air, e.g. oxygen, thereby reducing the effective concentration of CO2. What if we ran a giant hydrolysis operation, generating O2 (and letting H2 escape into space or finding some other use for it other than burning it)?
They're still very small; for example they're doing batch production instead of continuous.
Companies and countries with "technologies in their name" such as Jasper (city) or Java (Island) will currently cause false positives as we are only using regexes to identify the technologies. However, the words are used by these companies in their job ads or descriptions.
>The missile missed its target by about two-dozen miles

Article itself rehash of FT article, pretty vague and clumbsy with technical details. Somewhat related from a couple days ago:

>China military researchers pinpoint AI for hypersonic weapons accuracy [0]

...

>PLA scientists say artificial intelligence could write flight algorithm within seconds and be 10 times more accurate

...

>Their study showed an AI-based system could keep a hypersonic weapon on course with an accuracy of about 10 metres (32 feet).

...

>The researchers said physical disturbances to the sensors were inevitable during their assembly, transport and routine maintenance. And each time the weapon is powered up, it affects the hardware, causing further deviations from the factory settings.

...

>Using their method, the AI would start work immediately after launch, before the weapon reached hypervelocity, to calculate its position using the signal from the GPS or BeiDou – China’s navigational positioning system – and compare it with the results generated by the on-board sensors to evaluate the actual condition of the hardware.

PRC building up nuclear capabilities because PRC minimum deterance posture is being unbalanced by US rolling out missile defense. Also ties back to Joint Chiefs of Staff Milley trying to calm PRC down over worries that Trump might start war from last month. Ergo all the new Chinese silo contruction and testing of fractional orbital bombardment. IMO the AI article on improving accuracy is also massive. Outlines a future where PRC has ICBMs with 10M accuracy (CEP?) and can do precision conventional strikes on US assets (think carriers in port).
