Twitter will amplify the most extreme positions on both ends, the ones to cause most outrage

- Ban all guns, completely!

- No restrictions on gun ownership should be allowed whatsoever, not even age limits!

These cause the most outrage / emotion => therefore they get the most retweeted => create a distorded mental picture of even deeper division. We're never going to solve anything that way.

The problem isn't one of free speach and censorship. Its a problem of amplification of emotionally manipulative content. The amplification is exponential (because the retweet process is exponential). This is a disaster.

I would disagree that pointing out a paper or idea has no cites to existing work is a shallow critique. It at the very least means the commenter glanced through the content. And while it's possible for someone who's an amateur to contribute to a topic, not engaging with the existing work is a sign that you're going to get less out of the content they've put together.
I see you've added a sharing feature! Thanks for this.

"English is still widely taught here" is an understatement. Upper- and middle-upper-class children usually go to "English medium" schools, where all classes are taught in English (except for the local language class, eg the Hindi class is taught in Hindi), and you're expected to speak only English when talking to other kids and teachers as long as you're on school grounds.

Wow. I didn't realize that English was that deeply embedded into Indian society. Fascinating how these things play out over time.

Brave replaces the ads from the website with its own ads.

I don't totally understand how people think Brave is against ad-tech, when it is very much an ad-tech company making money primarily from ads, and secondly from its crypto ownership in BAT.

Brave does a lot of user tracking, but it says it anonymizes it, which hopefully it does, but it still tracks all your behavior.

It is still a cool model, but very much ad-tech and ad-based.

> Our roll-outs first apply migrations, then deploy the code. Migrations are applied by iterating all databases, and it sometimes it can take for up to several hours, before the code is finally deployed (so that it can use the new schema in every DB). It creates a very large window where old code can see new DB schemas, so we have to be careful for our migrations to be forward- and backward-compatible.

I read this answer last week but had to let this sink in.

I can't fathom how this would feel being "the norm". As a postgres user, I'm accustomed that usually most DDL statements can be done inline in a few seconds, ignoring things like creating indices concurrently which may takes up to 1-2 hours depending on the table.

OTOH I'm sitting more or less on a monolithic database, if there's even a term for this. Yes, it's multi-tenant for tables where necessary (though we don't include that particular customer ID key on all tables as some FK relations naturally provide this separation) and there are times when I'm not sure a tables with 700+ million rows and rapidly growing is a good idea.

From where I sit, having multiple database per server and/or application instances sounds an impossible thing to manage. Let alone that the "application" is a collection of multiple services (micro to medium) and "one just does not run multiple instances" of this cohort. Then there's is the additional challenge that we're receiving "lots-o-webhooks" from various services, a few hundreds to thousands per second for any customer and would need a central service to know to dispatch to which database etc.

If I may ask kindly, is it possible for you to share a bit of insights on how you got on this road to where your company is now? Did you start out _that_ way from the start?

Thanks
> Ad blockers don't work for YouTube on a TV or the native YouTube app (unless you are one of the few people with a DNS ad blocker). I wonder how many of YouTube Premium subscribers primarily use the website. I'm a YouTube Premium subscribers solely because I typically watch YouTube on my TV.

An excellent point. I mostly watch YouTube on a computer with ad blockers, and I also have a DNS-based ad blocker (Pi-hole). And the combination does block many ads, but other add-ons are required to block the video window ads as well.

I don't use YouTube enough on non-general purpose computer devices enough to care about that. As such, I didn't consider that as a reason to pay for Premium.

Thanks for expanding my view on this!

In the comment section of their website, there are comments point out that there are externalities associated with using the electricity. So some people question the logic of simply comparing the USD cost.

However, it's the beauty of comparing the USD cost. All resources are limited and all products have externalities. Comparing the USD cost makes the cost of things comparable. It may not be perfectly accurate, but it is the only doable way to compare all sorts of costs of all sorts of spending.

There might be a fair point that the externality of electricity has not been sufficiently factored into the cost. It might be reasonable to add more tax on electricity. I think it's totally a reasonable argument. However, if you do add more tax on electricity, don't forget everything will get more expensive, not just Bitcoin mining.
Oh god - there's the recent posts I've seen about people losing their social media accounts and then having deepfakes of themselves posting about BTC.

But what happens when the platforms get into it themselves?

Today using a loved one's image in a deepfake advertisement might seem invasive and wrong. But I wonder in the future if this would be seen as something acceptable. I'm sure somewhere there's a social media site that is carefully constructing their T&C's to allow them to do this if they so wish.
I use vscode because it's very flexible and does 99 percent of what a "full ide" does but at 10x the speed. I have a few thousand other developers who produce great extensions for me that do many things. I've also used just about every ide in existence over my career and I've never used a feature that vscode didn't have built in or in an extension.

You're making the same mistake they are by assuming developers are just ignorant of what an ide is, and it's going to sink intellij eventually.

I don't know what you mean by "pointing out a paper or idea". The comment seems to me a classic example of superficially skimming an article in order to find reasons to reject it. Ending with "reminds me of", followed by a link to someone else the commenter rejects, is also a shallow cheap shot. What do these things really have in common? Basically nothing.

I don't mean to pick too much on one comment and certainly not personally on the GP! This is just a common problem on the internet. What we want on HN is the kind of comments that enrich curious conversation. If you really don't think there is anything curiosity-gratifying in an article, that's what flags are for.

The entire post reeked of political tribalism in a way I don't like from people who make my tools. While seeing less Breitbart and Occupy Democrats might be welcome, Mozilla were completely fine with third parties boosting the visibility of openly partisan organizations who'll happily lie to my face. No, no thanks.
The new JetBrains products seem targetted at VSCode and specifically its remote code offerings.

I've liked JetBrains and I'm paying their license but the current $249.00 yearly fee is still too high and I fall back to VSCode frequently.

The $249.00 fee covers all of their IDEs but I don't need the .NET IDE's if I'm working on JVM languages or CLion or GoLand for instance. I was hoping for something like "Pick 2-3" IDEs for a certain fee, like say $129 for Scala, DataGrip & PyCharm, oriented towards common clusters of vertical stacks devs normally use.

I understand that $249 may not be a large amount for many folks here, but JetBrains isn't the only development tool I'm buying and supporting with a yearly license.

Ok, so...

TV phones home a lot, with info about stuff, some info big lots of bandwidth.

could there be an attack with buying some tvs and putting them on public WiFi - and could one find a way to increase the amount the tv was sending so it amounted to an attack - but still have plausible deniability.

If tvs were put on public wifi, which I guess there is no reason why you shouldn't put your tv on public wifi, and the tv is using lots of bandwidth, and your tv is popular in a country with lots of free wifi, is that tv manufacturer guilty of an attack on the free wifi infrastructure of that country?

I'm asking for a short story or several I might write some day.

I much prefer tools that run in a browser (both for convenience and for sand-boxing), but... I think a command line tool is better for a simple file system-based case like this, at least beyond an initial first impression.

My workflow is that I write my posts in VS Code, and then if I want to preview or upload, I just hop over to the console and type a command (no mouse needed). Deno's built-in sand boxing is the most convenient command line alternative to browser-based apps that I'm aware of.

Edit to add: I have toyed with the idea of integrating VS Code's Monaco editor into a "dev blog in your browser" type of app, but (the last time I checked) durable storage for web app data wasn't reliable (it was more intended to be a cache). Maybe things have changed.
Because they're not using it for heat, they're using it for electrolysis.

Thanks for your feedback. We try to avoid tight integration with specific, third-party providers as much as possible to keep Caddy light and flexible. Cloudflare is popular, but is also not a majority use case for Caddy users, in our experience. The Cloudflare plugin has only 16,000 downloads (and Route53 has 10,000)... out of over a million custom builds (not to mention 100M+ Docker pulls, or other ways of installing Caddy). So it's not enough of a standout to merit inclusion by default.
My direct experience is somewhat out of date, but from an engineering perspective the unit I have is much simpler than any TV, since it lacks a tuner or any fancy video scaling capability, and has no audio capability of any kind (that was a feature to me, since I use an A/V Receiver for sound). I think in general screens meant for signage are probably brighter than most TVs/monitors, but depending on the room that could be a useful feature as well.

The term rare earth is a bit misleading. It's not rare as in uncommon, it's rare as in dilute.

Rare earths are elements that don't form concentrated ores, and instead are spread diffusely in common rocks. Most soils contain between 0.4 and 0.8 ppm Thulium. Luckily Earth has a lot of rock, so in absolute terms there are still lots of rare earth material.

The problem is that rare earths are mined by processing prodigious amounts of earth, typically the waste from some other mining activity. Like most large scale mining operations, it is labor intensive and environmentally destructive. Naturally this leads to such operations being located where labor is cheap and environmental regulations are lax. When people express concern about access to Rare Earths, they really mean access to materials from countries (often one specific country) with cheap labor and poor regulation.

Thulium's expense is due to limited production, as there are few industrial uses for it and those applications that do utilize it tend to need only microscopic amounts, but with high purity.
I don't think that there is anything inherently "conservative" about misinformation about a disease in the midst of a pandemic. If Biden decides tomorrow to claim COVID is a hoax, vaccines have microchips, drinking bleach cures COVID, or attempts a violent coup against the government, it'd be fair game to ban him from the platform, regardless of whether he's considered "liberal" or "conservative."

I did go through the "Ctrl-F" for the link, and it was a list of terrorists, Holocaust deniers, neo nazis, and hate speech. I don't think being a conservative necessarily entails any of these things either, even if they are often linked to being "*-right."
I work in this field, I have a project specifically on adversarial examples and I have a strong opinion on this. I personally think worrying about adversarial examples in real life production systems is like worrying about getting the vanilla linux kernel to perform RT critical tasks. It is fundamentally not a burden you should put on that one component alone and is a problem you can only solve with a system approach. And if you do that, it is for all practical purposes already solved: apply multiple, random perturbations to the input, project your perturbed version onto a known,safe image space, and establish consensus. [1] is a work from my university which I like to point towards. Yes this lower accuracy, yes you won't be able to do critical things with this anymore but that's the price you pay for safety. Not getting hyped about CNNs and adopting a fail-safe approach that is only augmented with NNs is (in my humble opinion) why Waymo has 30k miles between disengagements [2] now while Tesla is either going to make me eat this post (not impossible given Andrej Karpathy is much smarter than me) OR are trying to hide the fact that they will never have anything resembling FSD by avoiding to report numbers.

[3] is another paper I recommend for anyone wanting to USE CNNs for applications and wants to calmly assess the risk associated with adversarial examples

Now, from a research perspective they are fascinating, they highlight weaknesses in our ability to train models,are a valuable tool to train robust CV models in the low data regime and have paved the way towards understanding the types of features learned in CNNs (our neighbours just released this [4] which in my eyes debunked a previously held assumptions that CNNs have a bias towards high frequency features, which is a fascinating result).

But for anyone wanting to use the models, you shouldn't worry about them because you shouldn't be using the models for anything critical in a place where an attack can happen anyway. The same way that "what is the best way to encrypt our users passwords so they cannot be stolen" is the wrong way to approach passwords "how can we make the deep neural network in the application critical path robust against targeted attack" is (for now) the wrong way to approach CV.

Yes. Toyota seems to like putting the transceiver behind the glove box, forcing you to introduce a bundle of rattles to your newly purchased vehicle to remove. Also, I'm pretty sure removing it disables some of the front speakers, requiring manual wire connecting to get them back. You could maybe leave the device in there but encase it in a Faraday cage, but still rattles are introduced.

Ford, iirc, places it on the floor under or behind some seats making it much easier to deal with.

I think MA just passed a law about not allowing vehicles sold there to sell your telemetry data or something.
This was a common experience. Amazing (to me) that today all of the most popular distros have accomplished this, collecting and including all the drivers for all (well, not all, most) of the myriad network interfaces used, so that tweaking for network access is now pretty much built-in to the install. Same is true for the many BSDs now. I had the same thing happen as you with Darwin (yae, I got it to install! But I can't do a thing with it).

What I recall about linux in the 00's was that Microsoft would break some functionality in Windows environments, and linux would fix it within a few weeks. I saw that as the reason for linux's existence, subverting Microsoft control. I think it may be still true, but LAMP became a pretty good reason for linux, too.
