I actually came across Bolt's founders twitter the other day. He was promoting how he saves time by being efficient. Funnily enough all the comments were along the lines of "you forgot time to actually live your life".

I clicked through to his profile and found Bolt. I went to the homepage but I wasn't able to tell what exactly it was. From this post I understand it to be a Stripe competitor.

I think Stripe will be voted up on HN because we know what it is. I wouldn't have upvoted or even clicked into something about Bolt.
Getting productive easily is the pretty much the definition of not having a steep learning curve. So I have difficulties making sense of your argument.
Amazing feedback, I love the idea to see directly from the page itself if you need an umbrella now. Also as someone else pointed out, it also allows you to check if it works before you input an email.

For the input, yes happy to change that directly. Maybe adding a X would help to clear the current input.

As for the auto-detect of the location, this just needs a bit tweaking with the Google Maps API. I did not get to it yet, but I am happy to hear that this addition would be appreciated.

Happy to include the major feedbacks in the next first release (by tomorrow).
Dedicated machines have uncapped bandwidth, VMs get 20TB free.
It's not true: their labor is a scarce resource and often they have plenty of choice who to give it to. They could go work for other things instead of dystopic nightmare projects like Facebook or Amazon.

Anyway the working class Jews had nothing to do with Germany's economic problems but that didn't stop the Holocaust. It takes nothing to make scapegoats.

It's already a political topic: for example movements for affordable rent are trying to incorporate a narrative of "it's not the single programmer the problem, it's speculation and the market" because there anti-tech sentiment already translates to aggressions in many cities against tech workers and tech companies.
> She didn't say "unpopular". She said those that go against the official narrative, regardless of popularity.

That's always been a thing, though. The incentive for big platforms has never been to promote the most popular ideas, much less the most correct ones. It's to promote "engagement" to the greatest possible extent, while ensuring that they're showing advertiser-friendly content at least most of the tme. And big advertisers are easily swayed towards not letting their ads appear beside "misinformation" that contradicts official and quasi-official narratives. You can't get rid of this dynamic except by re-decentralizing search and curation of content.
On balance, protecting.

When ARM was bought by SoftBank the main argument for it being acceptable was that SoftBank were not chip manufacturers in their own right. And that because of this, ARM would have every incentive to carry on treating all of ARM's existing customers reasonably fairly under SoftBank's ownership.

That's obviously not the case with Nvidia.

So while, it's possible to imagine that Nvidia wouldn't (at least initially) abuse any ownership of ARM. From a societal pov, why risk allowing a situation that relies on humans behaving well on an ongoing basis not to fail? And two, given the way ARM operates i.e. all customer $$$'s are equal, why would Nvidia bother if they didn't think there was an advantage?
I love how the idea of highlighting a specific part of the expression that can't be resolved jumped from one language to another within the last year or so and now the most common languages all support it.

(I remember node and python getting it but now can't find that in the release notes - I didn't imagine it, right?)
This feeling goes away the senior you get.
Isn’t the point of “polite notice” that it looks very much like “police notice” when glancing quickly? That is certainly how it is abused by horse riders on the road around here.

"You've seen the action movies where the bad guy threatens to destroy the Earth. You've heard people on the news claiming that the next nuclear war or cutting down rainforests or persisting in releasing hideous quantities of pollution into the atmosphere threatens to end the world.

"Fools.

"The Earth is built to last. It is a 4,550,000,000-year-old, 5,973,600,000,000,000,000,000-tonne ball of iron."
One thing I came across is that 99% precision/recall/F1 score might not be enough. Especially in large sample sets "only" accurately identifying 99% leaves you with too many wrong classifications. Eg 1.000.000 samples -> 10.000 false classifications.

No idea if there is a different metric that somehow (again) takes the number of sample into account.
Thank you for this feedback. Also, good to know that people actually do read all of those items. I will put more thought into it, and clarify indeed those concerns.
Am I the only person who finds this title a bit silly?

Most (?all?) supercomputers are specialist computing equipment because of the high required speed of the networking connecting the nodes, and the processors are usually fairly exotic cutting edge RISC chips.

Would any organisation “build” their own supercomputer?
Multi-seat? You mean a string of terminals off one box? I had that on a Linux 2.0 machine in 1996... vt220's are gonna be a bit harder to find now, prolly hafta use more modern ones.
But can you actually hand-write it? When I last looked IDs were UUIDs or similar, so you'd have to create a node in the GUI for a start, and even then the structure of it just clearly wasn't designed for manual editing or diffing. 'Storage' sort of sums it up really, doesn't it?
I think OCI has pretty damn good offering that sit between DO and AWS. Especially when you can mix and match your CPU / Mem Config.
"elaborated", not "elaborate"

The former means "with all the details spelled out explicitly". The latter means "intricate".

And, I've yet to see a .drv file that contains absolutely 0% shell script. Let's be honest, nix is used mainly as a metaprogramming language for bash.
> Apple proved that ARM-based processors cannot just compete with Intel's offerings but outright destroy them

Your average ARM processor is a Qualcomm Snapdragon or Amazon Graviton, it's not going to win any performance awards. Even the M1 loses out to most Desktop processors once you start talking about multi-threaded performance. It's a great laptop part, proof that a BIG.little architecture is a good idea, and it's massively energy efficient, but it's not 'destroying' Intel parts on raw performance.

ETA: We hear this same rhetoric every time AMD would come out with a part that was better than Intel (Athlon, Ryzen, etc). Intel isn't going anywhere, give them 4-5 years and they'll optimize and sell a part the eliminates the advantages. They've been doing exactly that for 30+ years.
That I think if you're going from software to legal work you're likely to be bored.
Right, by self reflective I wasn't talking about the self as identity - just as the mind and conscious experience noticing its own functioning.
Imho, this only make sense as an unobtrusive indicator next to the front door where the umbrella's are (and then I do see it making sense, with some extra info like temp). I feel like taking out my phone or forcing me to look at it even just one extra time is not something I want to do to myself.

It's like my smarthome, I either automate or make a (smart) button. Taking out the phone is a no no, but there is certainly a place for stuff like this.

I really wish my Nest V3 was more hackable, it's in such a central location and I look at that thing so often... and it tells me so little.

Oh and as a Dutch person we already look at buienradar [0] a lot and buienalarm [1] is also pretty popular here, both do notifications (maybe not at custom times, more like in 10 min or so I think, to be honest I think the apps are wrong too often to really trust them).

Pythagorus's theorem is literally written using algebra. You can't even write it down without algebra.
For most of us, mystery is intolerable. So we take the authoritative story on faith. And use it to create an airtight coccoon about ourselves. A bubble of dream where no phenomenon goes unexplained.
that's correct it's not currently supported on these platforms.
> The important point of OOP is the visibility modifiers,

OOP is not required for implementation hiding. It can be done entirely by convention (eg. names starting with an underscore are internal and not to be used).

Go took this a step further and simply enforces a convention at compile time: Any symbol in a package not starting with an uppercase letter, is internal and cannot be accessed by the consumer.
how about using the geolocation api? why should I bother to enter my location manually?

> More likely they're just a bit too earnest and as a result try to correct others and overcompensate.

You are assuming way too much good faith. For every one that does it in earnest there's probably 10 grifters just taking advantage of the situation for their own personal benefit:

The real reason seems to me like virtue-signalling. They don't care whether they're personally offended, as that would require burning social "points" by rocking the boat but potentially getting no outcome out of it (nobody else might agree). It's "safer" to just suck it up than sacrifice social points especially when you're on the lowest ranks.

They also don't know nor care whether the protected class they are worried about is actually going to be offended. Again, rocking the boat and burning social capital for little personal benefit.

This leaves the argument of earning social capital by virtue signaling among like-minded peers. Pick a common issue you already know is popular within your target "market" (racism, sexism, "diversity & inclusion", etc) and raise the problem. This doesn't risk any social capital, after all, people like you won't disagree (for the same reasons) and people that might be on the fence or would like to add nuance wouldn't want to risk their social capital in fear of being labelled a racist/etc. It also transcends the ranks - if anything, a higher-ranking person in the company would risk much more by speaking out than someone on your rank or lower.

This eventually results in a positive feedback loop where everything will become offensive given enough time and those who disagree either comply or get pushed out. That's how you get bullshit like GitHub's "main" branch which helps nobody while continuing to sell services to ICE which you could argue actually hurts minorities.
A file is a class of objects you probably perform operations on with your scripting. You could instead use some kind of function instead to change, say, the entries in the disk index used to map sectors but using a class function like "rename" is just so much more understandable from the human point of view.

You asked for an example where a class is more suitable than a function. I can think of no better example than the abstract concept of files on a modern operating system. In fact it's so useful you will probably have difficulty coming up with ways to perform the same operations without using an object-oriented strategy.
How is encapsulation thrown out the window in sizeable codebases?? It is the single most important thing OOP gives, and is used by the majority of all programmers and has solid empirical evidence for its usefulness.

> impossible to steal money from me without these things

First of all, "stripe" pushes information to the BankID app asking for confirmation, there's no code to input to the site, the verification happens on my phone where I'm asked if i wanna authenticate X or Y to happen (logging in, or transferring money)

But yes, they actually saw an attack vector where people could be fake challenged at the same time they're logging in themselves if someone knows they're about to log in.

This was solved by putting a QR code on the Bank website (and others that have implemented this so far) to be scanned by the BankID app. So now to steal money you would have to pwn the HTTPS between the bank and "me" or pwn my browser, or pwn my entire machine.

Also if you get 2 BankID challenges at the same time they cancel both of them.

Anyways, point is that without my phone and my own personal code being entered after a challenge where I see who's challenging me it's impossible to get money out of my account. It's designed to be REALLY hard to be tricked into authenticating someone else.

This system doesn't care about SIM swaps because it doesn't use the carrier network for anything other than encrypted communications with the BankID service.

I don't think there's a more secure system deployed on this wide of a scale anywhere and I'm quite happy with it. It's a PITA if you lose your phone though since there's no fallback method other than getting a new smartphone.

Nitpicking on words seems a bit below the standard of discussion I want to have though, and it seems like you thought it was just SMS verification. We're not cavemen across the pond, we're people just like you.

A nice benefit of this system is that when I call my bank I'll input my social security number in the system and it'll challenge me with a BankID challenge meaning the bank person knows they're talking to me. It's useful for a lot of things and at the same time VERY privacy invasive. Also doesn't work without a connection on your phone, but we're quite connected here so it's usually fine.

CC purchases in person are not authenticated with this system, we rely on the NFC thingy or chip. Magstrip isn't used anywhere here anymore. The bank covers all fradulent NFC charges without pin entry (which is why they're limited to 40$).

If you're curious for more information about BankID they have a site: https://www.bankid.com/en/ I think it's owned as a collab between "all" Swedish banks.

We also have electronic mail via a system called "Kivra" that the government will send mail through to me so that i don't have to rely on someone not dropping my mail. Also privacy invasive of course, but quite convenient.

I've had cocaine a few times now and while everyone is saying it's euphoric, I keep saying it's the most normal I've ever felt. Not "euphoric", I've done other stuff that felt suuuuper good (in an actual euphoria sense) so I believe can compare.

But normal. The cloud of thoughts gone, I am able to make myself do anything with one thought, I have energy, the aches are gone, the tinnitus is gone, I don't second guess, I don't overthink. I just am and I do. It's amazing. This is what people like Bezos and Musk must be like lol

Amphetamine probably feels like this, too, although many say it's actually quite distinct. The price, (un)availability, very short duration and the comedown are big negatives, sadly.

But yeah, comparing it to caffeine... nah. Can't comment on IV, but I can compare it to insufflated caffeine. It has some similarities, but the important parts are missing. Or maybe I'm just desensitized to caffeine. At least I'm a good fake coke detector lol

I think typing biometrics made a lot of significant advancements in the last year. I know that it is something that was in the making for a while but there are some companies out there that are offering some very interesting solutions such as continuous authentication.
I'm not sure if it's an example (surely it's used in AmE too?) but in a spectacularly dumb one, I felt, Amazon recently discarded (completely! no possibility to edit it!) my lengthy & detailed & photograph-laden review, because I commented on the quality of the 'knob'.
Not just terminal but the full desktop experience.
A more successful submission might be a blog article describing using aconfmgr in practice.
Well y'know, if everyone would really be happy then what's the downside? :)
that's correct :) It's much easier to follow by RSS the GH blogs than following the ML. And even if I was following it, it's not very trivial to find the mailing list archive html url (and I use Gnus to read mailing list)
The way I see it, constant complaints about the web led to Gemini, so the constant complaints about Gemini will inevitably lead to... something else.

Unfortunately, that something else will also be minimalistic, separatist and elitist, just less so than Gemini. It will probably use a strict subset of Markdown and be primarily text-focused and won't support scripting. But rather than "a thousand flowers" blooming we'll just have Gemini and "Gemini lite," because that would satisfy the needs of 99% of the potential audience for such things.
amazing that you can see all the cracks in the paint when zoomed in. Preserving this clearly is of importance, but digitizing allows us a snapshot for comparative restoration. Hope whoever is in charge of restoring this does not end up like the botched restoration of Jesus Fresco in Spain.
And now I see that HackerNews ate my multiplication symbols. What I meant to type is that

unsigned short a = 0xFFFF;
unsigned short b = a;
unsigned short c = a * b;

Is currently undefined behaviour on platforms where int has more bits than short (like x64 and arm) due to the interaction between the integer promotion rules and undefined integer overflow.

Nice web service you've got there...would be a shame if it was slow for a lot of your users, right?

I still can't believe that there is no regulation in place to prevent this sort of racketeering.
This was an absurdly teeth-clenching deployment.

And no back-up, even if the Ariane launch failed. No back-up.

> The only way we can fix it is by becoming aware that what we're seeing isn't free speech, its some distorted picture of the world designed to engage us longer at any cost.

I like your assessment, but the conclusion is depressing me. Because that awareness is never going to reach the wide population and simply understanding something, sadly, does not make you immune to it. You can understand the reason things are the way they are but still feel the frustration and revolt inside you. I know I do.
If anyone (like me) is looking for a map (which seems to be missing from the article), the per-country data is apparently on https://www.pollution.org.
That sandbox still leaves a lot of things accessible inside the browser though. APIs, which the site does not even need, but are provided by default by the browser. If I had a browser, which asked me for every new API (for example: "making requests to a server, first party, third party) access and the JS gave me a sound reasoning, of why this needs to happen, then perhaps I could trust it more. We have that partially, for things like location access, camera and microphone, but those are only very few things. I would also like to be able to specify, whether JS for one website (not only in general, but also that) is able to access my fonts list and stuff like that.

If we had this kind of control, then we could create generic profiles and go into the direction of Tor browser in terms of disappearing in the crowd when it comes to fingerprinting. Then we could share these profiles with other less tech-savy users to protect them as well.

I knew about lead poisoning for a while, but mostly in US context. It's almost a non-topic in Europe since leaded gasoline was banned (I'm actually wondering why: no leaded paints in EU?)

> she gives anecdotal accounts of popular creators being gradually shadowbanned

How "popular" are we talking, though? Taking a big picture view, "official" narratives are pretty popular whilst "alternative" points of view are niche. And modern AI-powered algorithms don't do a great job of promoting niche, long-tail content in general. For all we know, this might be the outcome of a random AI tweak that results in burying some content because it gets predicted as "unpopular".
Standards based on perception sounds ugly at first, but fundamentally it's an expression that you don't have an automatic entitlement to communicate with me. Should a big external entity like government or companies control that? No. Bu I'm totally fine for accepting complete responsibility for filtering my communications intake. I just wish that ...

- all social media implemented simple word filters. A word is on YOUR list, the post or chat line doesn't make it to your page/chat. It'd be awesome if these lists were exportable, syncable, and tradeable online.

And I wish the AI revolution would benefit me personally instead of companies.

I would like an AI that censors on my behalf only if and when I want it to, and a personalized AI that I can train to flag accounts/people that I don't want to interact with based on language. I would also like some mechanism to indicate how much is getting caught in the AI-generated filters and allow me to stop or modify its behavior. Once the AI is doing mostly what I want, I would like to be able to share it. I don't know how that would work.

- Group owners should have similar mechanisms for all posts in a group.
My favorite thing is more often than not, the faces of anti-drug campaigns tend to be celebrities/athletes who were caught in a drug scandal, and do this campaigning to improve their public image.

What do you have in mind? I think the language providing an abstraction doesn’t mean in most cases that it has to be used — if classes are not a good fit for this specific thing, just don’t use them. So that would still boil down to inexperienced developers not using proper abstractions - which can happen (with smaller blast radius) in less expressive languages as well.
It's a default judgement because the defendant walked away. If the defendant abandons the case, then yes, you would only have to show that it's plausible.
