I feel that this is being too generous to YouTube considering things like these:

"YouTube Will Now Show Ads On All Videos Even If Creators Don’t Want Them" [2]

Carmark is a legend in so many ways.
Not if they include a debunking. Right now we only have their word, which isn't worth much. Though that is a wonderful catch 22 they can use as excuse. We should be content to know only that the banned party was guilty. Of what, exactly, is not our concern.

Google broadly and secretly [1] defining hate speech, and removing based on that definition, is exactly the example you asked for: content removed for having the wrong politics. That they won't even tell you the exact politics, but leave you guessing, makes it worse, not better. What might be an entirely factual, dispassionate video, becomes in your mind a foaming-at-the-mouth murderous screed, because all you know about it is that Google (known for being straightforward and trustworthy) called it hate speech.

[1] We never get to find out what their interpretation of their stated rules is in practice, only who is guilty of breaking them, and only in the few cases that are high-profile enough for us to learn about.
You know it when you see it...

I worked in the newspaper industry on the web side for many years. Remnant ads are the worst. These are the ad networks that you use to fill up the last of your ad spots that you weren't able to sell directly. They can fill volumes of ad spots for pennies per 1000 ad impressions. These are pure trash. Ignoring the common problems with actual virus payloads that they might try to inject, these are the most obnoxious, awful ads. They often have big animations with flashing background and jarring colors. They are full of click-bait titles. They are the reason people install ad blockers. I might not be able to tell you what a quality ad looks like, but I can tell you the other end of the spectrum, and it is pure filth.
This is almost embarassingly geeky, but I pronounce it as "MAH-giht" because the spell list in the original Wizardry game used "MA" as a prefix for the "upgraded" version of mage spells. E.g. "Halito" was "little fire" and "Mahalito" was "big fire". So it's "version control UI" and "better version control UI"
As someone who's been vaguely interested in PyTorch inference optimization but has never had a clear jumping-in point, thank you for this comment! Nice to see a clear two-sentence explanation that actually makes sense to me, makes me really want to try out TRTorch and TensorRT!

Have a nice day internet stranger.
> But you're still missing some very large demographics there.

Quite possibly. But the cold truth is that the only people who matter at all are the ones who show up to vote. And yes, "most people" is literally defined as everyone with enough economic power that they aren't forced into a life of crime. That's by far the majority.
> as evidenced by...your own paranoia.

You just blatantly ignored years and years of news in all media and occasionally even here.

Usually I'm against posts making claims without adding a link, but please, this stuff has been all over sooooo many times, and singling out a few random examples doesn't do it justice.

You could start with long the Washington Post series about civil asset forfeitures to begin with something that is not just one case: https://www.washingtonpost.com/sf/investigative/collection/s...

As for individual examples, I only follow major news sources and I see posts about such cases several times every single week, have been seeing it for years. I would have to intentionally ignore the news to not see them all. I don't even want to see them since I can't do anything about it anyway and since I already read more than enough by now so making my day worse has no benefit any more if I read <yet another piece. But I can't even avoid it. So I don't understand at all where you are coming from claiming

> You're being unnecessarily negative here.

All the evidence points to it being realism and not. Sometimes it's reality that is "being negative".
At least the artifacts can be saved and distributed, things like iOS apps have a short shelf-live, hell it only takes a year or two before they can't even be compiled again without modification

Can't I just turn on my oven? That's even easier. ;)
My contrarian view: I pronounce it maggot. I think Mag-it sounds weird.

That said, I’ve financially backed Magits development (Kickstarter iirc) and I use it almost everyday, but I don’t do merges with it. I’ve had some large merges go really slow thru Magit. So I always do my merges in the terminal using the plain git CLI.
Your mileage will certainly vary but I was able to eek out a lot more inference performance by exporting to ONNX, using a highspeed serving framework in that ecosystem and also relying on some computation graph optimizations that you can apply to the ONNX version using available community tools. Versus serving from PyTorch directly.

We were doing millions of inferences and we had a specific target of a couple thousand a second so a specific case for sure but that's my two cents.
It's been nearly 20 years since inflation has been this high in Canada
With beans, cooking them fast is a double-edged sword. Now that I'm working from home, I prefer to cook mine in the oven, precisely because it takes hours, and I don't have to be precise and disciplined about checking on them. If I get caught up in work and check twenty minutes later than I planned, there's no risk of ruining them.
For this reason I feel like Phil Spector's early-mid 60's Wall of Sound production holds up a lot better than the late 60's/70's.

By the time you get to George Harrisons All Things Must Pass there's just way too much going on so that you can't listen to all the different pieces of the song at once. Like literally there's too much sound trying to grab your attention in the song that you can't listen to everything that's happening, and like you said it's just exhausting trying to.

It just devolved in to compressing sounds toward the loud side of the spectrum, and we lost all this nuance that pop music used to have.

I guess you might be asking straight up binary questions like - is it happening due to xyz? Maybe, changing the question format to something like - what do you think could be the cause behind _fill the situation here___? Just my humble opinion.
Damn I miss being able to drop a URL into HTTRACK and then just having a whole website locally archived with everything working.
Typo, should have been 1521. English has changed a bit since 1621 too. Both dates are in the during the great vowel shift.
No one is complaining against "law & order". The whole thread is about police misuse of power. You really don't see the difference?
Not quite - it's more of a platform for users to write their own transformations on their PyTorch code.

This can include things like doing operator fusion/lowering to a backend compiler, but can also include things like inserting profiling instrumentation (https://pytorch.org/tutorials/intermediate/fx_profiling_tuto...) or extracting intermediate features (https://github.com/pytorch/vision/releases/tag/v0.11.0).

Basically, if you want a graph representation of a PyTorch module that's really easy to modify, use torch.fx :)
Will it be enough for the US government though?

The current shortage is making countries like the US realise that semiconductors are a critical commodity for the function of their advanced economies.

The US wants fabs back on their soil and will probably be willing to burn money to make it so.

Will the US be satisfied with just having foreign operated fabs on US soil? Or will the US want home growth (and firmly under US control) companies like Intel to have similar capabilities.

Frankly, IMHO things in the long term aren’t looking that great for TSMC. Some of their business is going to get eaten by “local” fabs - even if they can’t do leading edge nodes they will eating into TSMC’s business on the lower end.

There is also the danger of overcapacity destroying any profitability in the fab business altogether - guess who will get bailed out by the US government if that happens; hint: not TSMC.
I was especially pleased to see the create_feature_extractor quality-of-life function added in Torchvision. So convenient!
Sure, that's fair if they don't have a single call that fetches the whole dataset. Though I'd think an article would often be covering a specific, bounded dataset to make its point, and wouldn't need to query a table of indeterminate length
> I’m not aware of any industries where competitors charge 25-50% of the price of their main competitor.

Alternative smartphone app stores charges way less than 25-50% of Google or Apple. You need to compare electronic markets with electronic markets like this, and the big players tend to take out extremely high fees in those areas.

Although, I agree that charging high fees in these areas is a problem and should be fixed, but it isn't like this sort of thing is uncommon.

Edit: As an example, Apple takes 30% cut. A competitor taking 7.5% cut would cost 25% of Apples app store.
Organized criminals are aware of what brings the heat, what does not, and what crimes add up to what time. Their lawyers help them with that.

For the same reason they don't go after local business in Russia, because of the 'cost'.
Try waiting for the pressure cooker to cool the point that it's no longer pressurized without releasing any steam. In general, if you have a container of wet things in a pressure cooker (e.g. a bean with its seed coat, but a jar with a lid works the same way), when the pressure outside the container drops below the pressure inside the container, the net force tries to expand the container. If the pressure inside the container drops below the vapor pressure of whatever is in the container (which is likely _above_ ambient pressure in a hot pressure cooker), the contents will boil, which can cause various unpleasant effects.

This can be minimized by trying to keep everything inside roughly in equilibrium while the pressure drops below ambient. Or a pressurized cooling system could be used in which the pressure cooker is pressurized above the vapor pressure using something other than water vapor (e.g. air, but an inert gas could be used, too), and then the contents can be cooled as fast as desired without risk of boiling or rupturing anything.

I've never heard of anything resembling the latter for home use. If I understand correctly, commercial canning operations will cool their jars under pressure while spraying the outside with disinfectant to minimize the risk of anything living getting in before the jars fully seal.

A police officer compels you to turn over a password at gunpoint. You do so in an act of self preservation. Will any evidence acquired as a result be admissable in court?
wrt (2), I remember reading (watching? maybe it was a YouTube video), that the answer to long-term storage is optical media. There was even a brand of discs that advertised itself as being a 300-year data storage medium.

The engineer in me wants to make some sort of metal etched disk medium to store data on and bury it somewhere with a marker on top. Preferably with instructions on how to retrieve the data.
25%-50% more expensive means that competitors are charging 66%-80% of the price.
I don’t remember voting on laws related to police immunity or them carrying weapons or anything allowing them to act as if they have a permission to kill.

Could you provide some examples of anything on the ballot that influenced police behavior?
I am also reading it for the first time right now. I am absolutely blown away by it. It has an energy to it that is difficult to convey, as if it was written by a mad man all in one sitting.

There are sentences or paragraphs that go on and and on I find myself thinking "Ok Melville went a little too far here" and then, by golly, he brings it all together in a flourish.

The language is simultaneously as descriptive as anything I've read, yet curiously opaque. It's perhaps best described by a passage from a novel of similar linguistic stature, Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian:

> It was the judge and the imbecile. They were both of them naked and they neared through the desert dawn like beings of a mode little more than tangential to the world at large, their figures now quick with clarity and now fugitive in the strangeness of that same light. Like things so charged with meaning that their forms are dimmed.
Years ago I had a Graphite installation where I configured retention policies, and the same for InfluxDB if my memory doesn't fail me.

The downsampling feature at first glance seems to serve a different use case than Prometheus was built for, which I think is observability and alerting for a relatively short time period. For systems that need to work with years of data it totally makes sense, but I don't think Prometheus is used in those cases.

Since this feature has been built for a reason however, I could be wrong

If I were to bring on a co-founder at this point, I'd want someone who is willing to live in the same city as me, is charming AF, and has some complementary skillset that will remain valuable as the company scales (sales/marketing and data engineering/analytics being the big two for my startup). But me and my co-founder are actually doing alright without a 3rd, so will probably just be picky about first hires.
I've had some success in the past using a WARC proxy - it will basically record everything that traverses the browser and can "play it back" on demand. So while it won't automatically download everything on a site the idea is that whatever you visit with and interact with in a session can be "played back" in the future at some point.
A limited time monopoly on an invention. But antitrust laws are allowed to break up stuff with too much power if they engage in certain practices, and this can split up a patent portfolio amongst the parts.
I've been holding on buying a new laptop for a year now. I realized that I never work outside my home office and I have an iPad (with a keyboard) that I use for reading, light browsing and writing stuff. I'm only interested in a laptop as a backup (if I travel or need to work outside of the house). The M1 Mac Mini is plenty for my work (Web and mobile app development).
What bourgeois newspaper readers tend to get twisted is that they try to compare an FBA warehouse job to something like being a hospital administrator, and find that it sounds like a bad job. But the comparison is really between an FBA warehouse job and another warehouse job. The FBA warehouse job tends to pay more and have better working conditions than the non-FBA warehouse job.

Well, it wouldn't be HN if people couldn't post angry rants about Google. 10% of HN is just a group of same people complaining about Google again and again. Anytime I see a link about Google, I know there wouldn't be any insightful discussion. Just same people complaining endlessly about the same things. I wish mods would do a better job moderating this relentless tirades.
Nobody can say whether browsers, IP networking, DNS, HTTP will exist in 500 years from now, so aiming for very long-term "hosting" isn't feasible, with browsers the most complex and fragile part. Your best bet to preserve digital text and other data would be to use standards specifically designed for preservation/reuse that made it during that time when we still had multilateral standards development, and that have stood the test of time, such as SGML and XML. Or use plain text/markdown/other Wiki syntax and render to the viewer app of the day and century, the idea being that capturing your text at the intentional authoring stage would be free of delivery concerns and artifacts as best as it can (possible with SGML out of the box). And/or, author/render to a conservative HTML subset without JS and progressive/optional CSS. Or, print it out on acid-free paper with mineral colors.

Hello privilege.

"Incriminating" is whatever the man with the badge decides it is at that time. If you're aren't the right color, sex, orientation, or religion, you could be doing something considered incriminating by cops and courts in most of the US. It is a very red, conservative place outside of the cities.
Apple now streams lossless audio, are you ready?
I prefer to do my interactive rebases in steps, instead of all at once.

If I want to rebase changes onto a different commit, re-order them and squash some of it, I'll rebase as-is first, then do another rebase and reorder everything so that squashes are next to each other (and yes, sometimes this means unnecessary conflict resolutions), then a final rebase to squash. I'll edit messages last.
dumb thought: I was thinking if it is possible to beam info into space/somehow have the backdrop return it. Doesn't make sense, you'd need to know the formula/changes with space as it expands but yeah.

I'm not literally talking about radio waves or something. I mean to use space as a medium to write on but "how". As in you send light to specific things that would return it and account for shift/losses over time.
Hmmm . . . that is the first I have heard of it. It appears that Kastigar v. United States[1] may be the relevant case law. I think it a stretch to imply that it derives from the 5th amendment, however, as the grandparent seemed to do. It seems more a determination that the practice does not violate the 5th amendment.

I recommend using an electric pressure cooker with a pre-soak mode. I use the "Multigrain" mode on an Instant Pot LUX60 with the "More" option active, which according to the manual gives 45 minutes of warm soaking followed by 60 minutes of pressure cooking in the same water. I use plenty of water and discard it after cooking to remove some of the indigestible oligosaccharides, and I do not find soaking in separate water to be necessary.

> ...after a couple of years of unrest and social instability.

If China wins Taiwan vs the USA, there wouldn't be any unrest or instability. The Chinese people would be proud of their accomplishment, and the rise of China as a military power.

Like... what "instability" occurred from Russia's annexation of Crimea? None what so ever.

A spouse tends to have all of these. Hmm...
I think in some ways ‘the year of the Linux desktop’ is an artifact from thinking about computing and operating systems in a way that is now outdated in ways unrelated to the situation of desktop Linux.

‘The year of the Linux desktop’ was an interesting vision of the future when thinking about the way people use computers at home meant thinking about Microsoft, and when people commonly (if probably erroneously even then) thought about Microsoft's market position mainly in terms of Windows desktop licenses. But nowadays the computers we use for most things at home are phones or tablets, and web apps have displaced native applications for a ton of the most common activities in desktop computing.

The question of the year of the Linux desktop is also one that's not really asked from the position of Linux users. It's a question about market trends, or what big desktop and laptop manufacturers might be doing with desktop Linux. But for existing Linux desktop users, or even just Linux desktop dabblers, the propositions that might actually impact their decisions or quality of life aren't really interrogated directly by the question of the year of the Linux desktop as it's usually framed.

Existing and prospective Linux desktop users are mostly interested in a ‘weaker’ year of the Linux desktop than one envisioned by massive corporate or government deployments:

* can I buy hardware that I know will just work with pretty much any Linux distro at a reasonable price from more than one or two vendors that are convenient, given where I live?
* when I buy peripherals or other accessories, will there be enough options at the store (physical or online) which mention Linux or bear the Tux logo that I can quickly make a choice without having to go online to consult some compatibility database?
* will my employer let me use desktop Linux at the office if I prefer it for my workflow?
* if I use desktop Linux at home, will I have to do a bunch of extra work to play a few casual rounds of the trendiest online multiplayer game with some friends?

and so on.

> for the first time ever I have seen people say '2022 is the year of the Linux desktop' and I think that there is actual substance to it rather than just blind naïve optimism.

I'm inclined to stay away from the phrase ‘year of the Linux desktop’ because it still recalls a lot of thinking firmly footed in the landscape of the late 90s and early aughts. But when we re-evaluate the YotLD as a proposition centered on current Linux desktop users and users who are likely to consider it in the moderate term, I think it makes sense to talk about it as something that's rapidly arriving or already here.
