Even though I loathe ads, I wouldn't mind one simple, clearly designated ad spawned from keywords in the search. No tracking and no cross site linking. No result promoting, etc...

What is this comment based on? To me it feels like this is what you imagine the exams are like. The MS exam (the highest and most famous one) has three parts: theory, service, and tasting. The service part is all about presentation, absolutely (that's the whole point). The tasting part is not. In particular...

>But I don't believe they are actually judged on their ability to taste wines and detect flavours. Designing such tests would be simple - rate of successful flavour identification based on data from other Somemeliers.

That is exactly how the tasting portion of the exam works. And

>In my opinion they judge it as a dramatic performance: how quickly can the candidate rattle-off various flavours? How "high class" is the language they use to describe the flavours?

This isn't really how it works, especially the "high class" language comment. Actually there are a variety of different things that they are supposed to identify about the wine, known as "the grid" [1]. You can take a look at it yourself. They are essentially judged based on how well their grid matches up with the consensus grid from the master sommeliers.

Ask HN: What was the “consolidate show HN's” project ?
Sometime in 2021 there was a "Show HN" which was a project which consolidated previous "Show HN's". You got all the projects displayed in a grid, could sortation etc.

Can someone tell me what that was ?

Sorry if this isn't a legit "Ask HN" ... feel free to delete if it's not.
Thank you. I appreciate that very much. We plan to share on HN how we've built it and how it works, and get as much feedback as we can. That really needs its own thread, and I'm conscious of not getting off-topic or promotional here because this is such an interesting thread already, and it wasn't my intention to distract from that because this is one of the big problems in the world right now. Plus, to be honest, we have a few things that are broken and that we're working to fix! So to answer your question, yes! We hear the feedback asking us to share more, and we're going to get a new release up and share with HN soon. And sincerely, thanks for the encouragement to do that. We think it will be interesting to the community here.
Uhg. The GSuite/Free thing pretty much is forcing a great reckoning between myself and google.

I am completely de-googling my life as I don't trust them not to break infrastructure I rely on. This is somehow worse than their mismanagement of Chat/Messaging platforms, and is indicative of a direction I just don't think I can support going forward.

FWIF iCloud+ custom e-mail is pretty good, shared inbox for all your domains (can do server-side rules on iCloud.com to move to address specific subfolders though), and reasonably simple webmail platform + imap access. For $0.99/m for 50gb of "shared" storage quota with up to 5 domains x 3 custom address x 6 family members isn't bad.

It is the most absolute utilitarian solution to custom domain hosting. Zoho and Cloudflare have more feature parity, but iCloud.com is pretty dang close to my needs.

I did something much like this a few years ago and still have the iPod. It's a really nice unit and does sound good. The OS took to a 200 GB SD card like it was made for the capacity.

However the earbud/IEM market has changed a lot since these were released. The iPod 5.5g is essentially unusable with some of the more sensitive balanced armature IEMs such as the Campfire Audio Andromeda, as I discovered. There's a very audible buzz whenever the amplifier circuit is on that really can't be ignored.

In my opinion, the spiritual successor to the iPod today are the Sony Walkman players that run Sony's own Linux-based OS. Recent versions of this such as the A50 series or WM1A sound excellent and are very quiet with even highly sensitive IEMS. Unfortunately they may not be much longer for this world any more either as everything moves towards Android.
I do carry a GPS enabled smartphone with OSMand~. I use maps, but I hardly ever turn on GPS. It just feels like cheating and crippling my skills to navigate. No difference whether in nature or in cities.

Actually I prefer paper maps, they have better usability for many use cases.
When I worked in the industry this was part of the reason, but another part was "data driven" AB testing on "what results in higher watch minutes per session" and similar numbers - one hypothesis was that there's a significant cohort of users who stopped watching something because they didn't like it and so for them it's wasting real estate that could be used for finding something new.

I put "data driven" in scare quotes there because you can observe the immediate per-session metrics but you can't observe the annoyance or long-term frustration with the platform. Or, say, long-term fall-off of watch behavior because now you finished ONE of the things you had had in progress but forgot about the other series because the "continue watching" row isn't presented up front, you had to go dig every time.
Honestly this seems like a good idea. If a company stops selling/supporting a product (or never starts), its IP rights should be forfeit. Require them to be sold to a company willing to sell/support the device, or they should become public domain. This change would probably fix most issues with current US IP law.
Most giants I've met never make a name for themselves and prefer it that way.
Youtube seems to be a rare exception here in that people actually feel like its algorithm is useful. However, even then, their algorithm mostly seems to devolve to "what creators have you usually watched videos from" and (usually directly after you watch such a video) "what videos did other people who watched that video watch?" Basically the same principle as PageRank, just with a lot less spam to deal with.
Toyota is a huge company though. It's nothing like Mozilla. I would imagine there's a lot of responsibility riding on it. And I'd imagine that in Japanese culture badly performing CEOs actually face consequences.

There's a difference between not having resources and simply having other problems that demand those resources.

For example poor cities typically have to subsidize their trash pickup more (for equivalent results) because their residents won't just bend over and take fee for use, they'll burn it or dump it wherever. Poor people don't buy pet licenses so that means animal control gets more funding out of the general fund. Even if you take in equivalent money (which you don't) having poorer people to serve results in catches like this in every endeavor of municipal government from the library to the roads to the police.

They already de-rank plenty of sites for countless abuses, especially for gaming search. They have been doing this for a long time, and no one has ever called it censorship. This is the first time I've heard of anyone even suggesting this.

Also, their ranking algorithm is extremely complex. To suggest one complex algorithm is censorship and another is unbiased search results is to have a very naive understanding of how search works.
This is damning. They’ll never again have my business.
The biggest benefit for me of note taking apps are tracking whiskeys and blog post ideas. Everything else I try to use the note tacking apps for (parks near me I'd like to check out, movies to watch) it ends up a write-only log.

But for whiskeys and blog posts, it is very useful and I depend on it weekly at least.

Been a Linode customer for around 10 years. Most of the time has been very smooth. Easy to use, and easy on the wallet. Kind of the opposite of the AWS policy of sneaking up, grabbing you by the balls, and yanking.

I feel bad for their customer support today. They have kind of trained people to go ahead and ask questions by being responsive. The number of dumb questions no one really knows the answer to will be at an all time high today.

Anyway congrats to Aker and other staff, hope they can all retire comfortably or take a long vacation if they want.

Yup, the coffee market is so unsaturated Starbucks even ends up opening cafes across the street from other Starbucks. If coffee can handle this level of competition, being a complete commodity, surely tech startups have much room to grow.

Four reactions:
1. I feel bad for those who had the chance to see and then lost it.

2. Sounds like a normal bankruptcy, where all the focus is on making sure someone gets their money and not supporting those who were clients.

3. Maybe we should require some sort of insurance(and support agreements) for companies who are making medical equipment, esp. implants, so that if somethings like this does happen there is a safety net for the vulnerable people who either volunteered or paid for these things.

4. The words "Move Fast and break things" and xAAS went through my head and made me horrified.
This might be a little different advice than what others are saying, but do a minor (or double major) in one of the hard sciences such as physics, chemistry, or biology. There is a huge amount of opportunity in computationally studying and analyzing data from these fields.

That and go to office hours, ask your professors about their research. See if there are opportunities to get involved in research yourself. This will expand your knowledge and understanding to depths far beyond most of your peers.
The craziest part to me is that Doki Doki Panic is a sort of franchise tie in cash grab. Imagine if any other one time festival marketed a video game today. You'd immediately assume the game was rubbish. Even the Mario Olympics games I hear are decent I always assume are going to be terrible just by their nature. Yet Mario 2 is pretty fun.
Looks like a lot of people here agree with this and have similar frustrations which makes me wonder - surely some of the developers working on these apps dogfood their own work, if not for any other reason than it's just very popular. The presence of these issues means that they can't fix them. Why?

I mean, I've seen this happen where developers legitimately want to fix little annoyances in the UI, but they can't. I think the reason why is a combination of two things. First, a mature product has to handle a ton of different scenarios making it a major PITA to change anything. If it's not a quick fix, it has to go trough the normal product process which brings me to the second reason - the product managers don't get evaluated based on how usable something is, rather it's some sort of an engagement metric. As long as the watched minutes go up, nobody cares if people are throwing their remotes in rage. So this is on product leadership, but maybe they just need better metrics, like a rage button on the remote.
> You really have to separate your life from comments on hacker news.

Except, that's not how human brain works. You learn whatever you see often. That's why it's considered counterproductive to learn by bad examples. The common brain learns by repetition - it doesn't distinguish if what's being repeated is good or bad.

> Did a website really make you decide to be a dismissive jerk to your girlfriend and father?

You'd be surprised! If you're not influenced by regular behavior you encounter, then lucky you. Most of the rest of us do get influenced by simple things like the people's accents, to how they deal with anger and other emotions (e.g. learning passive aggression from a co-worker).
>> "Google increasingly does not give you the results for what you typed in. It tries to be “smart” and figure out what you “really meant" ..."

> This is the most annoying behavior because I really mean what I write.

I hate this too. I do get typos corrected by Google. But I don't need that - if I put a typo in my query and get bad results, I can correct the typo myself. But if Google decides I must not have meant what I actually said, there's no way for me to correct that. It's a ridiculously bad tradeoff - we eliminate errors that are trivially fixed by introducing errors that can't be fixed at all.

I have similar feelings about phone input autocorrect, which automatically converts typos that are very easy to read into (mostly) correctly spelled words, plus (sometimes) completely unintelligible nonsense.
In cryptocurrency, an "airdrop" refers to receiving free tokens in your wallet.

Some times they're designed to incentivize certain activities, like promoting the coin or participating in something.

As a marketing tactic, they work quite well. Crypto fans will do surprisingly large amounts of free PR and free work for "free" tokens.

From an economic perspective, if a token system is giving out free money to large numbers of people it's effectively inflating away the value of the coin. Ironic given the initial anti-inflation ethos that drove the early days of cryptocurrency.

> Lineiform is just a wrapper function that takes a closure as input, and returns a closure as output. In the middle however, it will dynamically inline calls to other closures that the input might be doing, using dynamic recompilation to lift, optimize, and then lower x86 instructions to a set of x86 instructions with the same operational semantics, but hopefully doing less work such as inlining small closure snippets so there isn’t call/ret and ABI overhead, or folding constants like 3+5.

Isn't a magic step missing here? In order to "lift, optimize, and then lower x86 instructions" you need x86 instructions to start with. How does the leap from having a Rust closure object to a snippet of baseline machine code work?
it's the definition.

This is a nice natural mechanism for the bubble to burst itself. Housing is not like this at all. Everyone can in fact get cash all out at once at the hyper-inflated prices (no real buyers needed!) by just doing a "cash out refinance" to the bank.

> AMD officially supports ECC in the Pro variants of their desktop CPUs / APUs

ECC is only officially supported on the Ryzen Threadripper PRO, and that's largely because it uses registered memory which will practically always have ECC capability.

Regular Ryzen PRO CPUs have the same ECC support as non-PRO Ryzen CPUs: functional, but not validated by AMD.

Ryzen PRO APUs have (non-validated) support for ECC, whereas non-PRO APUs don't support ECC at all.
> Australia and New Zealand were pretty much at the herd immunity threshold from vaccination.

This is false and shows you don't understand how the covid vaccines work, and you don't know what happened in Australia.

I live in Australia and we suffered some of the harshest lockdowns in the world. Cases were kept low because states closed their borders, not allowing anyone in. People were locked down in their homes, not allowing anyone out.

This went on for literally hundreds of days in some parts of the country, even those places with high vaccination rates.

We had strict curfews; we had 5km travel limits enforced by cops and "ring of steel" checkpoints. It was illegal to go the beach; it was illegal to take your kids to the park; it was lawful for cops to chase and attack people for not wearing masks outside. We had overzealous state premiers granting themselves new powers. We had propaganda campaigns of fear - our government hired young actors to die slowly on ventilators... (https://youtu.be/5v0Xc4dWYH4)... when the rest of world chose constructive public health messaging, we went for "shock and awe" to scare people into not going outside.

Yet, here you are claiming we had "herd immunity"! Do you realise that not everyone takes the vaccine at the same time, and that only a small proportion of vaccinated people at any given time have the full protection offered before the vaccine fades? That window of time being as little as 4 months? Herd immunity was never more than wishful thinking.
