I gave you money because I adore this concept. Don't rush the features too much. Already had one fun conversation (with you?) about Star Trek.

Oh, and if you need infrastructure advice (I don't think you do, at least not yet), I would be happy to help.
Really happy to see Dr. Chan do this. We were in the same research group at UCSD and he helped me a ton when I started learning how to write a research paper and deal with optimizing matlab code for image and video algorithms. Now he’s exponentially impacting more people.
PoW is one level of abstraction away from "you have to have money to use money"; "you have to have money, to buy compute, to use money". Additionally, compute resources are subject to centralization.
Herd immunity does not depend on the efficacy of the vaccine. It depends on the R_nought of the disease. There are several ways to reduce the R_nought below 1 (at which point we achieve herd immunity). Vaccines is just one of them.

Claiming things that vaccines don't work, doesn't prevent infection, impossible to achieve herd immunity with them- helps absolutely nobody.

Isn’t it more important that the query you write with the ORM is readable than the underlying SQL it spits out? Using an ORM I can get reusable parts of a query, while writing complex joins, I’m not sure why skipping that part is good?
Reality is like a dark room. Awareness is like a circle of light cast from a flashlight . Meditation manipulates that circle of light. Brightening and dimming it. Shrinking and enlarging it.

I can't say that I've had any formal training in rhetoric, so I can't speak to that.

> ... the author is right, and should, above all, have the goal of convincing the reader ...

It still seems logically inconsistent to me to call that bad faith.

Let me try from a different angle. In my mental model, bad faith requires that the author try to convince you of something that they know is untrue (or at least may likely be untrue). Is my model wrong? If so, how?
Flagged. I want my back button back.

Hetzner has some strange pathing issues to the US, such that using an EU vpn almost always gets you much faster speeds.

I blame level3 as that’s where it seems to go pear-shaped.
But it is a reasonable rule, hence it being a general requirement in a lot of places.

More nuanced, it's more important to have these null checks on a library's public interfaces than a library's private interfaces. Private interfaces can do with asserts for null check.
Per their notes, one of the reasons driving this is to prevent unscrupulous parties from attempting to scam users re: swapping their tokens for "2.0" tokens.

Which, yes, this seems like it would help decrease confusion. But good lord, the blockchain infosphere is an aggressively adversarial one!
It’s part of the published article. Behind a paywall of course, but here is a preprint: https://psyarxiv.com/xyast/

A few parts to the study. One had 167 participants and had them label fields as hard or soft given a (sometimes incorrect) number of men vs. women.

Another had 220 and went the opposite way (given a description of a field as hard vs. soft, estimate men vs. women).

All participants recruited via mechanical turk.

Theres a lot more discussion and a few other subparts. Glancing at it it seems like a correlation, but not super strong.

Also, not my field at all. So reading it in detail is probably not helpful.
Which is more versatile than an object storage.

I don't think it's brilliant. I think that the difficulty bomb is something akin to the debt ceiling in that it can be arbitrarily pushed back so, in reality, the real effect of the "bomb" is to give smaller groups of people outsized control over the network by holding miners hostage. My mind is open here - what are the flaws in my interpretation?

I haven't, just went straight to dvorak. Afaik Colemak has less intense right pinky usage but more same-hand rolls.

Losing the function keys is a pain, on MacOS you can use Dvorak-Qwerty which retains them, on my new keyboard I just have a new "command" layer which retains the old positions.
I'm not lionizing the Democratic party; I'm speaking specifically to civil rights. I'm sure plenty of segregationist Democrats (and many Republicans!) favored labor rights and infrastructure, but none of that matters to the question at hand: the electoral college surely worked against the key issue for Black voters of the time, which was civil rights.
Does anyone know how big the image would be in file size? This website downloads everything in tiles so its hard to tell.
The article indicates they were asking for attribution in the form of an anchor tag.

rel="noindex" has value, as would "UGC"

Likewise the page would could have noindex as top level meta field.

You can pin to a commit SHA, and that's what the docs recommend as the "safest for stability and security": https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/workflow-...
In real life, I'm focused on the thing they said that I agree with, and replying to that. On the internet, I'm often replying to the part I disagree with. On the internet, I'll correct a factual mistake immediately. In real life, I try to ignore it if possible so as not to disturb the flow of conversation. In real life, if I'm talking to somebody at all, I'm probably at least open to friendship. On the internet, I usually don't care.
Our best superheroes don't need a secret identity, because nobody knows they are doing anything. We would only notice if they stopped.

Nice! The download was painless, the memory footprint seems to be lower than VSCode. The set of extensions is really nice for 18 months of work since the original launch.

You're right. I understand now that it could be a huge step forward. Not perfect but great.
I was really hoping this was a rant how back in the good old days you had eth0 and eth1 and you were happy about it, now we get en0sp04 and who knows what port that even is.
Oh yes thanks! I also due to your café found out I need to make a change when still set to private so the admin gets an alert to approve members.
Yeah the path parts are AND, with no ability to do OR, but you can do NOT. If you wanted to do your use-case, you'd need to look in 3 separate places... /A, /B, and /A/B (or /B/A)
It helps, my latest keyboard uses 25g linear choc switches (so low travel too).

If you host stuff on your server following Fediverse standards you're a de-facto part of the Fediverse. A user can then input your server in a generic "social" Fediverse app and interact with it as if with a mainstream social network. Federation across servers is just the next step, and there can be any number of independent federated "networks" - this concern lies outside the Fediverse proper.

It feels eerie that these trillions of parameters and exabyte sized training sets will come from harvested user data. 17 years of user activity all culminating into some.. supercomputer? I wonder how comments I wrote when I, and all the other people from my generation, were like 14 and using FB will feed into this and sort of be immortalized in this strange way.

[Disclaimer: I'm Co-Founder and CEO of https://www.vantage.sh - a cloud cost platform]

On this topic as its relevant, at Vantage we launched an automated cost recommendation that keeps an eye on egress out of Cloudfront and S3 and recommends when it makes financial sense to switch to another provider (in the linked blog post, Cloudflare) https://www.vantage.sh/blog/cloudflare-specific-cost-recomme... -- this has been very popular with current customers/users.

We're actually in process of adding a bunch of new infrastructure and service providers and should include Hetzner in our list of recommended providers but thought I'd mention for anyone wanting an automated approach to knowing when you hit the financial tipping point, this is one option.

The BSDs always had a following in network-related roles, since Linux has had some issues in the past (e.g. accept filters used to be useful, iptables more complicated than pf), and OpenBSD cultivated a security-minded reputation.

And hey, here's a good activist investor story!

https://edition.cnn.com/2022/01/24/investing/peloton-activis...

:D
As a person who was infected in February 2021, before I was eligible to get vaccinated, we now know that there was minimal to zero medical benefit to me getting this vaccine.

I had a family tragedy with the vaccine in May that I commented on at the time here:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27467803

The tragedy detailed above made me realize that there was a risk, albeit small, to getting vaccinated. If I didn't have natural immunity, the risk was worth it. But since I did, I chose to not get vaccinated, only after weeks of research and poring through large N studies.

Here is a comment I made 5 months ago that got downvoted for citing multiple studies that had informed my decision:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28170099

The arrogant, smug hive minders deemed it misinformation.

I was harassed by coworkers for not having the shot, and they dismissed my claim of natural immunity as a conspiracy theory. Some of them deliberately selected a restaurant that required proof of vaccination to rub it in my face. They knew I had recovered in February. They knew my family was grieving over my mother-in-law (she lived with my wife and I for ten years until 2 years before her death) but they didn't care. They dehumanized me. I then had to face a federal government mandate for a shot I wouldn't benefit from.

I am beyond bitter. They were wrong. The feds were wrong. Most HNers we're wrong. The censors deleting my posts were wrong. And I know I will never get an apology.

I now have attitudes towards centralized authority I never had before. All due to smug, self righteous people throwing away their principles and cheering on as the US government threatened my livelihood as a cudgel to violate my rights. To those of you who went along, you are cowards, and I hope you reconsider your arrogance in the future.
Fugu: Simple, self-hostable product analytics
What problems, if I may ask?
This game is my all time favorite because:

a) I played it obsessively with my brother in all combinations, giggling and swearing at the same time. Shofixti vs Shofixti or the Spathi farting and being chicken is awesome

b) It was one of my first programming projects for just myself. I wrote a random team generator and am still quite proud of it.

c) I got my children to play it on the modern laptop and they loved the Melee just as much as me and my brother did

The sense of humor, the complexity of the storyline, all the easter eggs, it is just a wonderful game.
It's a spreadsheet that is a list of tokens created by artists, and the corresponding owner in the column to the right. That spreadsheet will survive the bankruptcy of any particular company, which gives the tokens a sense of permanence, and Benjaminian aura if you will, that you don't get from a ledger run by Google.

That is what is is, that is what people find it useful for. It is not supposed to do any other things.
Love all of these, wondering if / how they could incorporate some quasi-color theory?
It's used to build and distribute closed source operating systems and devices to users. Every Mac and iPhone user has a little bit of 2003-era FreeBSD running that provides XNU its BSD "flavor".
Suspicious -- just when Google is announcing success with qbits and quantum computing.
The big difference is that hardware depreciates. Proof of stake requires none other than a single purchase to be gifted the right to perpetual seignorage. Staking ETH once versus constant operation of a mining farm is a non-trivial delta in effort.
I've been using Fugu Cloud (the paid version) for the past 2 months for my side projects and find it the best product analytics solution I've used.

Considering recommending it for work now - it's rock solid. Esp. the funnels work well. This is what Mixpanel must have felt like in the early days.
I love the feedback, I have so many improvements to make and changes in my todo list. This is the kinda help I was really looking for and it will make things better.

Thanks everyone!
Very excited about Ethernet!
Ask HN: Why do people (waste their time) hating each other?
(Preface: I want this to be a philosophical question and NOT a political one. Please. If you can.)

I guess I am asking more on a national and/or cultural level than a personal level. Why do people waste their time and energy hating each other?

I recently came across this[0] Wikipedia page on something called "Sinophobia" (which is a term I have never come across) and was actually very shocked at the length and amount of data presented in the article. I then clicked over related articles regarding Muslims[1] and Hindus[2] and found them astonishingly long as well. I just don't understand why anyone would waste their time and energy and brainspace hating another group of people.

(For the record, I am a boring white dude, and have no feelings towards any particular race one way or the other. I live in a city where many cultures exist comfortably. Maybe that speaks to my bewilderment. I've seen actual, overt, real-life racism happen maybe 10 times in my 35 years. Also, I really hope this doesn't turn into a complete shit show.)

I still use their telnet looking glass service from time to time.
People will describe technical mechanisms, but they are all pretty irrelevant since a miner rebellion would easily modify the software.

The real mechanism is that all the major players can’t accept two forks and maintain sanity. For example, Circle will have to choose which chain has a $1 peg for their USDC reserves, and they will certainly choose the chain supported by the core devs and the one the rest of the major players are selecting as well.

That leaves the rebel chain in a very compromised position. With the peg being removed many defi protocols would be in an exploitable state. Removing all those abandoned and compromised services ends up with little reason for anyone to use the chain.

To be honest, I still suspect someone will try. But it will be a mess and there will be lots of financial loss for users.
Yeah what's the deal with this? I turn on "rename ports" in raspi-config immediately when I configure a new ones. I'm not trying to see that nonsense in ifconfig.

It won’t effect them much. L2 solutions will make a bigger impact.
> Another major pain is that we still haven’t private actions. It was due end of 2021 (maybe it is out now but I checked a couple of days ago).

I'm looking forward to this landing too. In the meantime, though, checking out the repository that contains the Actions and referencing a local path works fine so this hasn't really been a blocker for us.

Edit: per sibling comment, it seems that this feature became available in the last few days. Nice!
Was shopping for tablets online today for use with Blender and they’re not cheap. Thought why couldn’t I use my iPad as an input.

This looks awesome. Any chance it’s pressure sensitive?

Edit: Was looking in the wrong place to see if it had pressure sensitivity. The answer is yes it does!
I hadn't considered a patent at all. Will definitely think about it, although i suspect it could get complicated with respect to my current institution.
The key point is not Linux vs FreeBSD. It is simply choice. You have a real choice. Do it this way or that - do it your way. I like both Linux and FreeBSD but I deploy them differently.

I slap Linux on my servers and desktops and I deploy FreeBSD via pfSense on firewalls.

Sometimes I do experiments and try out BSD on the desktop which hasn't worked out yet for me but I live in hope because I adore *BSD as much as I do Linux.

If BSD is the way to get your servers to do what you want then lovely. Do it and remember you have choice.
AWS seems to have some pretty decent Xeons (hard to tell because Intel makes special SKUs for Amazon, I think). I guess it depends on what you consider 'a pedestrian server' -- 128 threads/512GB of memory isn't cheap, although maybe in the enterprise universe maybe it is, I'm more of an academic. So, it is nicer than the 10 year old cluster I tinker around on, not as nice as the system I send real runs to...
Because it was created by the same people who created the Matrix protocol.
From my understanding, the block rate should increase slightly, reducing fees very slightly. Any fee reductions will likely be eaten up by activity.

Lower gas fees will come some scaling changes, not consensus changes. Layer 2 and sharding.

Sometimes programs implement hierarchical tags, and that appeals to me the most. That way, you can navigate hierarchies of tags the same way you would navigate hierarchies of folders, but there's more than one hierarchy that can be navigated. And because you don't need to worry about encoding every piece of information into a single path, the hierarchies can be shallower and more convenient.
GPs reply doesn't imply that, it just seems they're asking about their own consequences. Will you reply "not everyone lives in Ireland" if someone else asks about what would happen to Ireland?
It's more than a trend. All the major art platforms and a lot of the major collections host in IPFS.

Covid-19 Omicron’s Radical Evolution
It's not a renaming. They're basically just saying that ETH 2.0 as a concept typically used for versioning is not technically correct. There is just Ethereum, and there's various proposals and upgrades in the pipeline for years worth of development. ETH2 was supposed to symbolize the upgrade to proof of stake and the merging of the POW chain with the POS beacon chain. I think it may have encompassed the implementation of sharding as well. But since Ethereum is a living protocol, with many different upgrades and improvements to implement, I think it's more accurate to drop the versioning idea and just explain the different components and features as they go. The next major upgrade for Ethereum will be The Merge, which merges the Proof of stake consensus layer with the proof of work execution layer. It's expected to happen this summer. Afterwards, Ethereum will no longer run on GPUs, you'll be able to run a full node on a Raspberry Pi.
This is the sad way of things now. Only those with a large enough megaphone get support. I'm in a battle with Cash App support and the only way I got my issue escalated was to find the personal cellphone of a manager there and call him. This is not how things are supposed to work :(
Hospitals hit capacity during flu season all the time.

Did you stay at home, keep your kids from school and cancel all travel plans last flu season when hospitals got overwhelmed?

You probably didn’t even know they were overwhelmed, did you?
Oh, is that a module that does the same thing?
I see myself as incompetent because it's just too clear to deny.
'... you aren't better off getting covid ...'

When the lockdowns started in USA I took some days to consider the possibilities while still out "in the field" in the work truck. Since the virus passes between humans and animals such as deer and cats where it mutates, it was apparent I would be exposed at some time. I chose a course of action to make peace with my family, my God, and to remain vigilant about diet and health. A year later I got it and recovered at home.

It is generally not going to be a choice to avoid this virus. Hopefully it continues to mutate to be highly transmissible and less harmful like the seasonal flu.
Huh? You’re extrapolating two year of a pandemic, most before a vaccine out 10 years?

That’s ridiculous right?
Same pattern on HN too - a post about some outrageous bill due to a configuration error or whatever, followed shortly by a post like this one.

I mean it makes sense in a way and I'm not saying it is a bad thing, just a pattern I've noticed.
Brian Eno's "Here Come the Warm Jets" is probably my favorite album of his.

"Music for Airports" (released in 1978) was the first album of his (of anyone really) to be released under the genre of "Ambient."

Love that Jeff Vandermeer is interviewing him. fun little intersection there. if you haven't read the "Southern Reach Trilogy," It's amazing.
I have read countless research papers and press releases and blogs and open source code relating to web3 over the past few years, so if I'm ill informed then it sounds like you're suggesting that pretty much everyone else is also. If there is some secret I'm missing, now is your chance to say it. Please try to make more substantial comments. Thanks.
Rollups and sharding are aimed at reducing gas fees. Rollups are already live, with Arbitrum, Optimism, StarkNet, and zkSync being some of the biggest ones.

I think evil geniuses (and mad scientists, etc.) tend not to conceal their identity. Megalomania does have a downside.

This doesn't seem to apply to your run of the mill superpowered criminals, though. If you are using your superpowers to rob banks, you tend to take the same sort of precautions to conceal your identity that ordinary bank robbers use.

Yes. One is investing, and the other is speculative grift. And if you're not utterly ruined then you may very well end up with substantially more money than I have.

In the event that this happens, I hope you find that the money is its own reward, because that will be the full extent of your reward. Certainly there will be no special plaudits from society in general.

I think we have just done most of our data work in different environments.

When I'm trying to query stuff, the first question is "which service's database is that in?", so I can guess "user_service" (or whatever I think it is called), but I have no idea what they call anything in their schema, but now that the autocomplete system knows what table I'm interested in, it can help me figure that out.
