I'll go even nerdier. Having implemented raft and paxos many times over (don't ask why, and also don't ask what implementing paxos means, no one really knows) The most efficient distributed systems rely on _not_ having Byzantine faults[1] -- effectively there's a certain amount of trust you need to delegate to the network. The network itself is the substrate in which these algorithms can work efficiently. Short of that you'll need to move to a system that is tolerant to Byzentine faults. The cost of moving there is very expensive transactionally-speaking.

For markets the analogy is the same: a regulatory environment provides the substrate in which an efficient distributed system can rely on to prevent Byzentine faults.

edit: I should have read the article to the end, literally the next paragraph where I stopped to comment said what I just said, but better.
I've seen a couple posts here from people claiming to work for Facebook.

It seems that most people on here don't post who they work for, Facebook or otherwise.
Don't make the mistake of thinking the commenter you're responding to as authoritative on anything. The comment is bullshit.
The comment you're referring to is about the trebuchet that the commenter built (not the subject of the article).

The article itself is blogspam that adds effectively zero content to the video other than to capture some advertising traffic.
Link to documentation is broken: https://codigo.so/docs/ (also link to community is broken, but I care more about Documentation link).
The population is perhaps much younger in Africa as well? The healthcare system is also less advanced / widespread so there are fewer people living with underlying illnesses that increase the severity of Covid once infected.
With the blink of an 'y', Hotbot was one letter away from something completely different. Although the term NSFW was yet to be invented back then.
I agree that the free market is easily gamed and therefore I really am glad to be living in a country with relatively strong consumer protection laws.

I buy online, I can return within two weeks no question asked.

It breaks within two years - I return it. Either I get a repaired one or a new one or my money back.

There are few exceptions but mostly it makes shopping quite secure.

Yes. There are bad actors. Yes people get ripped off by shady online stores. But if using trusted shop, PayPal or one of the known big shopping brands the experience is mostly good.
Facebook has just become a place to post all your complaints.
According to the oxford dictionary, tax evasion is "the illegal nonpayment or underpayment of tax." Dictionaries don't decide what words ought to mean, they list what people who use the words mean by them. Yes, taken on its own evasion does not require illegal activity (though it does have a much more nefarious connotation than synonyms like avoidance), but when you put the word tax in front of it, that changes the meaning. When the average person talks about tax evasion, they are talking about the crime, and when someone says something is not tax evasion, it is commonly understood to mean it is not an illegal nonpayment or underpayment of taxes. Similarly the word exploitation can mean a lot of things, many of which are not illegal, but when you put the word sexual in front of it then suddenly it refers to a definitely illegal thing.
Semantic search requires NLP. So does the Q&A format the OP is complaining about. People conflate all things NLP to the latter, and forget about the former.
The thing people generally don't want automated is exactly the the thing money is intended to do: allocate resources.

Very few people want a robot deciding how they spend their time, energy, and assets. Resource allocation will be the last unautomated job on the planet if we make it to post-scarcity. People want everything done for them except deciding what those things that need to be done are.
I don't think that's entirely the same thing, but let's say it is just for arguments sake.

Without the vaccines you might have a point, except that Corona and the large flu seasons are not that different for most countries if you measure hospitalizations and deaths.

With the vaccine it's two wholly different things as the vaccine is your way to protect yourself.

A SUV driven by a drunk driver can kill a dozen people, that have no way of avoiding that.
I'm not sure why you'd take from this that I'm ignoring the role of regulation when I'm commenting on a situation whereby the regulatory framework of central banks allows them to take actions that damage the signaling power of pricing. I most definitely think that banks and central banks must be carefully regulated because they have the special privilege of creating money and with this comes a lot of responsibility.

The other part though is that if money is corrupted it impacts the process of regulation itself. For example creating good regulation to tax companies is made far more difficult when there's fundamental differences between the nature of the money that those companies themselves have access to. I'm sure it would be possible with a large amount of effort to have regulations with non-fungible money but there's challenges there that would be substantially difficult to address and the complexity of that regulation would come with it's own non-zero costs to society.
yeah, but instead of removing those banners and supporting ad-blocking and filtering, microsoft chooses to add more pop-ups and banners.

indeed this is the added trust of msft.
You almost always know something about the data that a sorting function will operate on. Unless of course you are implementing a generic sorting algorithm. In practice you could train your compiler on real world data to allow it to optimize better for your environment. This is already happening with profile guided optimizations.
No mention of DDG in the comments? Is there a reason I'm not seeing or it's just not the preferred alt-search on HN? Seems to have been working fine for me when I struggle to get past the funnels and content mills on Google.
Apart from the misspelling correction, I don't see how the change is an improvement.

Edgar Allan Poe invented the murder mystery genre we know today
with Inspector Dupin, a purveyor of “ratiocination,” or intensive reasoning
— who was introduced to the world in The Murders on the Rue Morgue.

Previously the link [Inspector Dupin] was about Edgar Allan Poe's character "Not-An-Inspector Dupin" who was introduced to the world in The Murders on the Rue Morgue.

Now the link is about the TV movie "Inspector Dupin" which is based on German novels published in the last decade and unrelated to The Murders on the Rue Morgue, Edgar Allan Poe or the invention of the murder mystery genre we know today.

Yes, corrupted a tad. :)
I would love to see it challenged all the way up to the Supreme Court if necessary. These laws seem blatantly unconstitutional, and it's kind of amazing that they've held up for so long.
Yes, I'm happy with it from a "balance of power" perspective. I would like a different outcome, regarding vaccine mandates, but that responsibility lies with congress, and unfortunately one of our political parties is anti-science and anti-vaccine, which means it won't happen.

Still, I'm happy that we're not breaking the rules for the convenience of getting an outcome I'd like better.
Nice in theory, but as far as I've seen, most home routers and devices don't utilize those, and most users don't know how to configure them, and the up/down ratio is so vast (like mine is 1000/20, a 50x difference) that it's hard to saturate the down without first maxing the up in a torrent. The exception to that is it you happen to get some phat-piped seeds who are willing to send to you super fast even if you're uploading at a trickle. But in that case, plain old HTTP would've worked better anyway.

At the end of the day the bottleneck isn't at the protocol level, but the asymmetry of home cable connections. Torrents are great when you have symmetric fiber, but very few homes do right now.

This is what I done! I realised this morning as I was in a McDonalds drive thru queue how easy it would be to solve just by adding an "are you sure" screen.
An SUV that "was not being chased by police." Wonder what the truth is.
I love the idea of mothminds, and I would also love to support projects like these even if it is just little money each month. We need a Twitch like sub model, or maybe this moth minds could help.
How do we judge that governments are not providing services at good value? How many other institutions in the US are tasked with ensuring the safety and well-being of 300 million people and do it for less?

It's a bit of a cliche to say that government is too complex, but I think it's worth considering that the problems that government is trying to solve are unique and incredibly difficult. I appreciate the call in this article to get to the real work of helping to solve these problems.

I'd be curious if anyone finds it worthwhile to have a smartphone while being so paranoid that you have to hide it in a Faraday bag. I understand the problem. I just don't understand the practical use case: every time you use the phone, you have to take it out of the Faraday bag, and it can be used to spy on you or report information about you. Assuming you're keeping it in the Faraday bag all day, when and why would you find it useful and worth the risk to take it out? And with that level of use, wouldn't it be more practical to have a dumb phone or a laptop?
I found the video by searching on YouTube

It’s literally the first thing. I guess this is what censorship looks like, lol.
You’re both right: most companies want to hire the least competent (least costly) engineer capable of doing the job. Then they have mixed luck in hiring and wind up with a distribution of engineers, including some plain incompetent ones. They barely have competent enough engineers to build their core product, let alone perform undifferentiated technical operations on self-managed infrastructure.

I agree with you that if we assume all our engineers are strictly competent, then that gives us a major advantage over our vendors, and tilts the scales to build over buy.
I had to do some testing with ble temp sensors once we're I needed to isolate them and then put them in a freezer. They were in advertising mode so I could tell at least if I could see them with a phone. A round tin that was used for green tea from Japan was the most reliable method I was able to improvise. It fit very snug and the lid was about an inch deep.
Just that tagline alone “ But America’s champion philanthropist operates like a middle-class donor” reeks of condescension.

Are there similar articles for large grant male philanthropists? Are there similar articles for other rich ladies who are giving money to, say, groups trying to end abortion or democratic institutions? Or just hoarding it altogether?

Would this article be written if she was buying yachts and doing normal super rich person consumption stuff?

What is the claim here
Maybe I'm not using the right qualifiers around the term NLP. The kind of NLP I was referring to is something like "Hey google, what is natural language processing?" and orienting the search around people asking questions in standard(ish) English like they would to another person.
No because google's algorithm is not well known publicly. Also, if it was straightforward to detect then google could downrank it as well.
Marginalia is great to find blog posts, personal sites and other long form content, but it's not a replacement for Google nor intends to.
> We have, in Western society, managed to simultaneously botch the dreams of democracy, capitalism, social coherence, and techno-utopianism, all at once. It's embarrassing actually. I am embarrassed. You should be embarrassed.

I generally agree with much of this blog post but the phrase "Western society" annoys me no end and is a bad fit here.
Anyone with access to the article know if there are reasons stated or just a blanket statement to generate press?
They want to move the other confessionals to the 1st floor. The chapels were near derelict before the fire apparently.[1] Renaming chapels and projecting lights doesn't have to mean throwing away things anyway.

I completely agree with the problem built and I built an mvp of a very similar solution (auto-blur, consent to un-blur, etc).

I tried to use it and HATED it. Even though I was the only one in the room, the constant “green webcam indicator light” was distracting and unsettling.

For making remote/hybrid communication better, I’ve switched my focus to making loom.com like experiences easier.
I admit the vast majority of my experience with hotels consists of a single repeated data point: the staff[1] suite(s) we shared in the Hilton attached to the SJ convention center. They always had glasses/shaker/etc. You could probably ask for a shaker from roomservice or the hotel bar, if necessary.

There are plenty of Googlers, Applers (?), Amazonians or Netflixers posting on HN but not identifying themselves as such. Likewise some FBers do identify themselves as such. I only see it in technical posts (open hardware, folly, oculus etc) because I find the discussion of social networks being good/bad boring.

But definitely if there were a post about why fb is evil and I worked at fb I probably wouldn’t mention that. You don’t see that many google rms defending google on HN either.
I think Google was “better” from a users point of view in 2005 because it wasn’t that good at selling ads yet. I still remember the epiphany of the first time I used Google in 1999. It was amazing.

I’ve thought the same about pre-ad Twitter and Facebook.

Early on, startups with free services look a lot like non-profits and just maximize user benefit to grow. The problem is they’re not non-profits, and have to make money at some point. That has tended to mean ads.

I’d easily pay, say, $9/mo to have access to an ad-free search engine that made me feel the way 1999 Google did.
> This article would benefit from being more specific. Take on that un-named "decentralized" system directly rather than side-swiping it as is done here. It's a cop-out.

The author is probably just trying to avoid attacks from the cryptocurrency proponents.
Why are people up in arms about Twitter blocking videos? Just post your YouTube link somewhere else. What am I missing?
I noticed this as well.

This is not a mylar bag. It's frustrating how often these two are confused, especially when said confusion can result in component damage.
Can you elaborate on this further? I seem the market cap of Tether being quite tiny compared to BTC and ETH. Also Solana is nearly as large and will probably be much larger than Tether in a few months.
I read auto-generated pages almost to the end before realizing it was SEO spam. (I am not a native English speaker though)

With content copying, shuffling and AI generating, I am afraid we are on the cusp of auto content generators passing some restricted Turing test where readers really think it's an actual human that wrote it.

As for me, I leant that for certain "hot topics", simply doing a generic search on Google is not a good idea anymore.
gen Zers know it's stupid, but have the ability to cope with reality and just go on with their business, instead of obstinately pretending to be 'baffled' by something that's been in common usage for twenty years, then complainging about it on the internet.

you're thinking really hard about paying your student loans now, so it worked. who doesn't understand what's going on? doesn't sound like it's your loan-servicer, to me.

It seems to me that it's a little bit of hubris to have human's running the Federal Reserve and setting monetary policy.

It seems like the economy is this massive system with virtually infinite moving parts that no one truly understands and the people at the fed just continue to poke it with a stick.
There were DOS clones and other operating systems back then. CP/M, DR-DOS (take a look at VIEWMAX), PC-MOS, VM/386...

Part of the problem was you needed to get your OS on all the computers out there, most clone builders had agreements with Microsoft. The other was you needed DOS compatibility, or else you didn't have any software to run.
I'm sorry to say but your project is 20 years old and it had no impact at all. You are doing something wrong. Innovation and initiative is needed ala Bitcoin and DeFi not hobby projects which are not picking up in popularity and utility.

The point is that SEO would just immediately adapt to Google's changes. If a smaller search engine filtered these out then it would likely stay under the radar.

This was the lede, and also the main takeaway. Except for that warning, there was nothing new in the article.
Given that there's a long history of media manipulation in this country (e.g. Hearst, Yellow Journalism, etc), what would you determine qualifies as censorship? Personally I have no issue with blocking people who clearly are abusing their platforms for personal gain.

I suspect upvoters did not attempt to reproduce, which is why everyone saying this is a thing is using a secondary source instead of posting their own screenshots.

The cause is worthwhile but this is just a self promoter who knows that certain sections of the internet are gullible retransmitters for certain memes. Flagging the submission.
McAfee exists for Linux, it's just as bad as you'd think it is, and some of us have the misfortune of being forced to use it on every workstation and server.
pfdietz is correct. The key thing is that divergences always multiply, leading to an exponential dependence on number of scattering events. There isn't a transition between a linear and an exponential dependence. I think where you're getting confused is that an exponential can be initially approximated by a linear function (i.e. exp(x) ~= 1 + x), but that doesn't mean that the process is linear.

The dominance of the exponential growth is also why the tidal correction, as massive as it seems, gets swamped and ends up not mattering much.

That's actually where I first used my username. It was dec0dedab0de.local And the server had the same mac address, which I thought was fun. It's been over a decade now, but I used a locally hosted media wiki instance, and had some bash/python scripts running on a cron to scrape various sources and update the wiki.

I wouldn't do it like that now, but the ability to quickly make wiki style edits is very useful. Plus having data stored locally before you need it is very convenient, and comes in handy during the occasional outage.
Rather than make a blanket statement that people should be skeptical, can you provide a concrete reason why one should be skeptical in this case? I think most people here believe that victims of sexual assault should be able to come forward without fear of retribution. I’m curious what your counter argument is.
Yes. The vast majority of the population has no idea how excel works, or have ever had any kind of training in it. I've personally worked with people that would do the formulas by a hand calculator and type the results into the cell.

She makes her classes very accessible and the videos just make it easy to engage with; Excel courses usually don't try to do this.
He had a museum. It's kind of a personal dream of mine as well. I wouldn't actually do that but I certainly dreamed of it as a child and it still occupies a place in my mind. Despite the moral and legal ramifications of this man's museum it is a pretty damned awesome thing he had. A lot of his thinking was probably rooted in mores of days gone by.
Perhaps trolling the entire web is not useful today? I’d love a search engine where I can whitelist sites or take an existing whitelist from trusted curators.
It does operate on a scale and principle fairly similar to early 2000s google, so the comparison isn't that far off, but yeah, it's quite some way before it's viable for general search. Dunno if I'll ever get there, but it does consistently seem to get better so who knows.
