Regarding point 1. Sure the 10 year matters. A lot.
Regarding point 2, we did not stop stimulating the economy 12 months ago. We are still stimulating the economy with negative real interest rates, a relatively high level of deficit spending, and a large federal reserve balance sheet. The only stimulus we have wound down is the pandemic loans/grants, extra unemployment benefits. We are only starting to unwind the FED balance sheet. And, real interest rates are very negative. These last accommodative measures are occurring in the midst of a fairly good economy (very low unemployment, rising wages, etc). That is why we are seeing inflation accelerating.

Okay, these are all demand issues, and you point to the concomitant supply issues as well. And I agree. The supply issues certainly make it worse.
It's not about keeping it easy or fun.

Setting up your own static webhost with MarkdownSite
Yep, much of this experiment already happened: Android, Windows, etc. If it is so easy / steady-state to have both experiences simultaneously on one platform, why didn't it happen on either of those two? It will absolutely devolve into the lowest denominator.

And that's why I choose not to be on Android.

Hey. Maybe I’m nuts but that’s first long paragraph (“I always…water levels.”) is unreadable to me. Maybe it needs another read through for clarity?
Hi HN!

Last week I showed you the open source hosting platform I am working on, and got a lot of great comments and feedback.

There was some confusing over exactly what MarkdownSite is, and I made a lot of updates to the site and added a documentation system and blog to more effectively communicate this.

There was also a few issues with things not working out quite as intended with path resolution. A lot of folks who tried to build websites got 404 errors. This has been better addressed now, as well as a bunch of other fixes over the last week.

This blog post intends to make it easy for someone to build their own hosting platform with MarkdownSite. I hope someone finds it useful :)
No, you're right - it was Bruce Sterling!
Also with offTheRecord Messaging for encryption.

I am really loving this news, i was able to convince some of my old icq contacts back then to switch to jabber this way. And why wouldnt they if its all the same interface?
I wonder how much research the author did for this post.
The answer is to grab a Pi or similar tiny box and treat the TV as a dumb monitor.

This works very well.
As I saw someone say, "In all its years modernism has failed to produce beautiful cities".

Tourists still flock to old parts of towns and 19th-century factories are refurbished into elite apartments.
Yes but on the ryzen (assuming you meant 5950x) you can build build 16 of them at once... Make sure you give qemu the right parameters too.
Employees are expensive. Automatic content moderation is imperfect, but comparatively cheap. I think this inconsistency is partly caused by this cost optimization pressure, and then to at least some extent by corporate bias since at least the egregious cases might get reviewed by a human since losing contributors costs money too.
I don't follow anything on Twitch much so I googled why this person got banned and here's the closest thing I could find to an answer. It's an unconfirmed answer but the source is a voice actor from Call of Duty being interviewed on an a YouTube gaming channel (DanAllenGaming) who says he heard it from "people who work at Twitch."

https://gamerant.com/call-dutys-ghost-voice-actor-says-dr-di...

> Apparently, Dr Disrespect was using an offer from Mixer as leverage while renegotiating his Twitch contract, something that frustrated the company. With Mixer announcing its shutdown only a week after these discussions began, Twitch found out that Dr. Disrespect was likely lying about the Mixer offers. While there is a possibility that the offer was legitimate, it makes little sense for a dying company to offer a huge new deal to a star. Regardless, the issues were supposedly caused by either a failed attempt at trickery or a risky negotiating tactic, and Twitch cut all ties in response, refusing to deal with Dr Disrespect in any way going forward.

And then 2 people on this Quora link say it's for a different reason:

New pipe will do that too. Or just watching the video in the phone browser.
If we're talking about the specific example - DeepAI's API isn't perfect (as the twitter thread demonstrates), that's about it.

> Am I reading too much into this

Kind of. If you're trying to generalize to all ML problems based on this one example, the discussion is too broad to say anything meaningful. Try to apply your questions to the specific example and you'll see how little sense they make:

- consulting experts - who would be the expert when trying to guess the color of a 19th century carpet?

- faith in the results - does anyone care about the specific results in this case? I mean it's a cool API but the end result is purely aesthetic, it's not like something important is happening in the world based on the results

- do ML practitioners have responsibility to communicate to the general public - no, the people who are writing the ML API have a responsibility to their customers and to the internal product stakeholders in the company. The general public has nothing to do with any of this.

And then there's hundreds different configurations of [ML application + person creating it + company they work for + user + real world impact] for which the answers will be completely different.

See title - I think a collection of failure stories would be a useful learning resource.

I think you underestimate the talent at Apple. The reason things are locked down isn't just that it makes them secure, spam free, etc. That's true of course, but it's not the only way to do it. It is however, the easiest way and in absence of external force, there is little reason to complicate it.

If EU succeeds in forcing Apple to open somethings up, then the brilliant folks at Apple will rise to the challenge and will innovate to either keep the quality as is or even make things better.
Is payout to the catchers commensurate with the quality of the answers? What happens to answers that are just wrong? What are some examples of questions that you think throwers would actually pay money to get anonymous answers for, instead of going to Reddit?
Why specifically indie devs? I don't see how that would factor in.
OK. The next problem is, what if you have a bunch of different apps that require different JVMs, potentially at different versions, and you want to run them all on the same box? You can do this with JAVA_HOME, but running them in containers is a lot more convenient, and safer, because you can ship the runtime with the app. As a developer, you also don’t have to concern yourself with whether the target machine already has the correct JVM installed, and update it yourself if you like, without waiting on someone else to do it for you.
Well, why don't we? My guesses are:

First, because that's not one of the top ten problems in the region. Make that top twenty.

Second, because Putin wants us to talk about them and noone wants to sound like one of Putin's sockpuppets. Even Putin's actual sockpuppets try to avoid that right now.
No idea why this was downvoted. OTR is the correct answer here.
The Mother Nature Future of Urban Design
First, congratulations to the KyuWeb team on making something and getting it to launch. Anytime you do that it is a win, because it is a big learning experience and a good confidence booster.

Second, I have some concerns with the design. CommonMark is not what I would have chosen. WikiCreole is the result of a standardization effort to create a Wiki markup standard, and what I would have picked. Also, there are conflicting pieces. For example, the MIME types accepted are text/plain and text/markdown, but then they talk about HTML wrapped Kyu documents and using pre to do so (better options are available; even script would be better I think). There's also an ambiguous statement about other types being displayable with helper applications.

However, more importantly, this seems to be trying to fill a space that doesn't exist. Plain text with little or no styling has Gopher/Veronica/Wais and now Gemini. I'm not familiar with Gemini but used Gopher back in the day a lot.

Text with styling exists in HTML. Yes, it has a lot of feature creep. Yes, there are pages that are just CSS and Javascript, with little HTML. However, it is the standard.

KyuWeb document reads to me like they want HTML without plugins or Javsscript. That's a legitimate want, and I think a good approach to getting it is to create a prototype of how you can specify an HTML profile that meets that need, then work within the W3C or WHATWG to see about getting that recognized.

What I think they really would be happy with is HyperCard. I have to wonder how the Internet would be different if Hypercard had taken off the way the Web did, instead of being replaced by it. Robert Cailliau from the Hypercard Team helped Tim Berners-Lee create the first Web browser [1].

SML is great as a language, but has terrible tooling and a balkanized ecosystem of incompatible implementations, many of which only support REPL workflows (and these tend to be the implementations used for teaching). These are a far cry from the typical "point a compiler at a build file and go" that developers are used to. Go may be a strictly worse language as a language but still be better for building and distributing applications. SML is also very poorly documented, and it is rarely clear which implementation's documentation you're even reading when you find something on the web, which can often lead to quite a bit of frustration. Go, on the other hand, is extremely well-documented.
In a certain sense everyone is high cost because the Bloom 2-sigma effect says that giving a student one-on-one tutoring instead of other methods of education will move them from the 50th percentile to the 98th percentile. As much as the quality of gifted education can be woeful and quite limited in the US and those students have unmet needs by arguing that those needs deserve budget taken from special needs students you're implicitly arguing that those sets of needs are morally equivalent.

A gifted kid without enrichment is overwhelmingly likely to perform at grade level. A special needs student that needs a special needs assistant and isn't given one is overwhelmingly likely to not be able to attend school. These aren't at all equivalent.

To be clear the argument that vouchers are a scam is entirely about taking money from special needs students by hiding it in the average cost. There is no moral basis for students to be entitled to the average cost. I'm not saying gifted students don't deserve enrichment I'm just saying it doesn't provide a moral basis for taking money from special needs students through vouchers.

EU isn't actually motivated by voting here, because they have power regardless of who votes for them or not. The Parliament "negotiates" with the Commission (executive branch) for this reason - the EU is set up to ensure that decision making is so far removed from voting that it's entirely irrelevant.

The real reason they do this is they perceive it as a free source of income, which they can then use to buy off states to keep them in the EU itself. Note how the rules only apply to really big companies (i.e. US companies), and the fines are really big, and the rules are vague. It'll be a cash cow that avoids upsetting any local interests, the fact they can drape it in pro-consumer clothes is just a bonus from their perspective.

But there is no need for the app to do that really, there are APIs like localstorage and IndexedDB in place to allow you to do all this clientside. Browsers have come a long way from just html renderers.
The pumpkin pie recipe made Thanksgiving for my wife and I the years we spent living in New Zealand (and since). I grew up with canned pumpkin in pies like many americans. This canned filling does not exist in New Zealand, however raw pumpkin is sold in supermarkets and is a common vege in savory dishes.

From our first time baking this pie recipe, all other pumpkin pie is dead to us. The pumpkin we bought in NZ turns out to be superior to sugar pumpkin or butternut squash. It is Japanese winter squash or kabocha.

If using this recipe with kabocha, cut the sugar by 1/3 to 1/2. It doesn’t need much.
Didn't see this response - but yes. Computer Science. From a top 10 school. Some of what I'm saying is mostly true of the two years of 'core' classes, and then some of the softer CS classes. Others include classes 'taught' by professors there for research. Literally the only classes that felt like "yeah, this was worth attending" were the ones being taught by 'instructors', not professors, i.e., people with Masters degrees rather than Ph Ds, who weren't being pressured to publish and bring in grant money. Meaning I can think of roughly...4, of the dozens of classes I took, that felt worth it. And chunky classes, like Data Structures and Algorithms, and Computer Graphics, there was no point to attending the class; an hour invested in the textbook was worth more than an hour attending.

Conversely I learned functional programming, multiple languages and new CS concepts, fault tolerant system design, and system architecture skills, all in the context of a short period of work.

> He recently did an IRL stream from inside one of the toilets in E3. Twitch forbids people from streaming illegal acts, and filming people in a public bathroom is likely a violation of California’s “invasion of privacy” law

On top of that, there were minors in those toilets. That's close enough to child porn that I don't blame Twitch one iota for yeeting him from their platform.
WHAT ARE THEY HIDING? lol

I can't wait until we start mining the moon for rare metals (and those common minerals that we can no longer purchase from Russia)
It also restored the dislike button and added support for sponsorblock (which can automatically skip sponsor segments, as well as intros, outros, "like and subscribe" reminders, non-music sections of music videos, and other fluff.)

The name comes from it being an "advanced" YouTube app, only without any "ad"s ;)

Oh, and you could disable the comments section!

All-in-all, it just made YouTube a much better experience.
I don't know enough from this article to know if they're actually measuring dread. If I were in the study I'd think "hm, I'd rather get a big shock now and leave ASAP than wait 15 minutes for a shock" - i.e. the main factor in my decision is how much I think my 15 minutes is worth. Did they make people wait 15 minutes anyway even if they chose to get the shock ASAP?
I agree with the paper's conclusions. Dynamic pricing is a good thing. But lets take a counterexample:

Amazon tried this years ago. They changed pricing on the same sku based on who was shopping for it.

The blowback was tremendous. Amazon had to actually back down.

My take is that consumers understand and are willing to put up with dynamic pricing for airplane seats because the algorithm is presumably understood.

I'm willing to accept that the person sitting next to me on an airplane may have paid 1/3 than the price I paid on my ticket. Maybe the person next to me booked earlier, or booked when the airline had a promo going. Sounds reasonable.

But what happens when airlines quietly change algos...to raise prices because of my browsing habits, IP, or CC used?

I bet you this is coming

At a thousand dollars a year, you can just buy the latest iPhone. Maybe not the Pro Max, but the Pro model.

Edit: actually the trade in probably covers enough to get to the pro max, even after including the various Apple Arcade and iCloud subscriptions.

How are optimistic rollups secured?
My take.

I have a rug of the same style as that rug and the colors are pretty close to the reconstructed colors even if the reconstructed colors are "a little drab" I think there are many copies of that rug with the exact same colors but I don't think you can go to a store and find a rug with the same pattern in different colors.

The hue of the garment is completely wrong but it might be impossible to tell what the true colors are because I think you could go to a store and find a very similar garment with different hues.

In the case of image recoloring the "expert" might well be the person who is supervising the inference process. For many purposes the endpoint might be that that person likes the result. If it's really important to you that the hue is right you need to have an "expert" do research the way people would do research if they were colorizing a movie.
> ignoring calls for openness for 15 years

I very much want this to happen now. However I would not have wanted this 15 years ago when the platform was a baby and little was known on how to move it forward. Last thing you wanted at that time was layers of regulation and laws that would hinder the speed of development.

15 years is probably too long and this could have happened 5-10 years ago.
> Making Scheme object-oriented is a sophomore homework assignment. On the other hand, adding object orientation to C requires the programming chops of Bjarne Stroustrup.

C++ added a ton of additional stuff to C. The original Objective-C is a much simpler approach on adding object orientation to C and at its core it'd all be about finding expressions like

[foo bar:baz boo:hoo]

and replacing them with something like

obj_send(foo, msg_foobarboo, baz, hoo);

and linking with an underlying runtime that handles message passing of course.

An alternative would be Turbo Pascal 5.5-style OOP where

struct foo : base {
foo();
~foo();
void blah();
}
foo::foo(){ base(); }
foo::~foo(){ ~base(); }
void foo::blah(){}

would be accepted but aside from the C++-like syntax for constructors, destructors (which handle the hidden VMT field) and methods nothing is done automatically and instead you are expected to explicitly construct and destroy the objects (if needed), e.g.

struct foo foo;
foo.foo(); /* call constructor chain */
foo.~foo(); /* call destructor chain */

or

struct foo* foo = malloc(sizeof(struct foo));
foo->foo(); /* call constructor chain */
foo->~foo(); /* call destructor chain */
free(foo);

Note that Objective-C handles (or handled at the past, not sure how things changed nowadays) allocation and construction in separate steps too.

Of course unlike a language with Lisp-like macros you'd need to modify a compiler or write a preprocessor to do the above, which makes it a bit harder, but in any case adding object orientation to C does not mean you have to make it as complex as C++.
Yeah... Problem is they control supply as well. I would agree with the conclusion only if I would fly business destinations only. As it stands right now, I have to buy tickets to Mexico 6-8 months in advance, with no right to cancel them, even if life has other plans all of a sudden.

When I finally got to talk to a human, she took my number for a call back, I am still waiting . I have no idea how the elderly deal with this blatant corporate greed.
The results (many many packages doing fifty to eighty percent of what you need) are what drove me from Perl and what makes me very uncomfortable with the growing disdain for the standard library in Python. I really don't want to write my own XML libraries or whatever, I would rather just import whatever the standard solution is. I also do not want to have to do a roundup of the available solutions and try to figure out which is most applicable, then hope that it will actually do the job.

A lot of people are very into whatever the language is, but for me, I want a huge standard library.
YMMV, but I've had very good luck just using asdf for...pretty much everything, Python included. In a normal week I'll probably touch half a dozen environments--Node, PHP, Python, Java, Ruby, Golang, maybe sometimes dotnet-core--and asdf not only Just Works for me, but has done so without thinking about it for going on three years or so, when stuff like rvm/rbenv changed rapidly enough as to necessitate changing it up to stay on the same page as my teammates.

No relation, just a super happy user.
Yeah for sure, the percentage take on these sorts of things adds up. But I do think there is a point where it starts making more sense to have a team as an artist gets larger.

Indie bands have always done this grind on their own -- I remember all the shows at Glasslands and the lofts and bars around Brooklyn 15 or so years ago, which were in that 150-300 cap range. Or my friends' college bands back in the early 2000s. Labels definitely weren't involved with any of that, it was just a bunch of musicians in a rented van driving to cities crashing on couches. Once you start playing 1000+ cap rooms (or stadiums, in the case of a few friends), the administrative part takes more time than the music part, and I don't really know any artists that care to deal with that. You need lawyers, tour managers, PR people, etc.

It definitely doesn't take a major label like it used to, but an indie label that can support you in that work is often necessary.
Lets be honest here. The majority of Vanced users used the app to circumvent ads.
Huh. I didn't know this existed.
