The capabilities of memory storage have grown exponentially in recent decades, opening the door to new possibilities. Let’s see what DRAM can do for us. 5 Technologies Made Possible by Innovations in DRAM Storage inventions end up leading to an explosion of new possibilities simply because they provide a simple solution to a persistent…

Here are the 5 technologies are covered in this article:
1. Personal Computers (PC)
2. Smartphones
3. Gaming Consoles
4. Automotive
5. Smart TVs
Yeah, this was my read too. There are plenty of bored and lonely people who also fancy themselves armchair intellectuals, who'd love to talk to you for hours. It may make them annoying and irritating, but it doesn't make them a cult. I don't see anything in the article that this was "attempted cult recruitment", more just "lonely people discussion group".
It seems entirely plausible to me that three letter agencies could also have done render farm type things like this: http://www.generationamiga.com/2020/08/30/how-24-commodore-a...

I certainly don’t think so — at least not for me. Anything with a voice (even in a language that I don’t understand) seems to chip away at my concentration.
It's crazy how quickly I got quality results for "java ed25519 bouncy castle" on both You and Kagi. I literally spent all day on Monday using Goog and DDG trying to find implementation examples of Ed25519 and AES-256-GCM in Java, trying every variation of keyword, verbatim quotes, and site scope I could think of, and ended up using GH gist search instead to find what I was looking for. The results on Goog/DDG were literally all SEO spam sites copying content from SO or the Bouncy Castle docs that I had already read.

I've been trying out Kagi as my default search engine, but will give You a try next.
If the rules are regularly applied to persecute people over nonexistent offenses, they will very soon cease to matter.
We can surely build apps and devices to enable the see of a billion voices. After all everyone now has a computer in their pocket connected to the internet.
If you're running it in docker, just backup the config and cache dirs and try the new version. If there's a problem, roll back. If that breaks (probably not, but maybe), restore the backup, then roll back.

If you're not running it in docker, that'd probably still work, if you track down those two directories. Just a bit less clean, and a little chance there's some important stuff configured to be saved other places in the non-dockerized version, so it's a little riskier.
lol "unfiltered". It's an extremist network that filters in particular sanity.

"Twitter WORKS. If it's profitable, it doesn't need more growth."

You don't get to decide that. It's a publicly traded company. Which means you do need more growth.

Strange thing to be proud of. I guess your own family isn't "cool" enough.

I use Plex for my whole family, storing all our content on a cloud provider. I don’t mind at all the internet connectivity/login requirements. I enjoy the “channels” Plex adds, if only to add a little background noise so I feel less lonesome when home alone.

If the internet goes down, we’ll read a book or play a game.
Thanks for the positive feedback - let us know how it goes.
Google has these options, but these are solved by AI. So with that you come in a catch22: people want personalised content, but rather not have their data given away.
If you open YouTube without login, you get all kind of rubbish so you want to login. Probably this is by design: you want what google wants: results based on your data. Both happy.
Now if there was a privacy friendly way of doing this, I am all for using that. I just don’t see how, and I don’t see who wants not to gain a profit if you would have that data.
So the next google probably is another google.
Many horrors of the world emerge directly from the belief that one owns the one true secret to happiness. The more banal reality that there are many enjoyable ways to live, doesn't attract followers.
Right...if the institutions are over-zealous, then they are at fault. But to complain that someone pointed out to the authorities that they think someone was breaking the rules is a bit silly. I have a hard time taking seriously anyone who uses the word "snitch". I suspect OP is just a little bit salty because of their Title IX complaints and that their partner got reported for making a classless racial joke about children.
Our venture backed startup is actively working on integrating web support back into Unreal Engine, as we see a huge opportunity for a easy cross-platform export target for developers.

We're working on a WebGPU backend right now for both UE4 and UE5, and have already upgraded UE4 to support WebGL 2.0 from 4.24-4.27, as support for HTML5 was removed back in the 4.23 release.

Another major innovation is we've imported a more improved compression format (Basis) as part of our pipeline, we've also created an asynchronous set fetching that only grabs the required data that a user needs to see at any given moment, streaming the rest of the assets in the background as necessary. This dramatically reduces load times, which was one of the biggest complaints with Unreal on the web previously.

> We should all wish to be so censored.

Good god.

Do you ever think you're part of the problem? Should we censor people who have a different opinion?
(By "makes sense" I do not, in fact, really mean that it makes sense; more accurately, this should read "seems typical of a Chromebook").

I'm suggesting that in the implementation of what you describe, there is ideology at play. To me, it seems like ignoring that is it's own, different type of ideology.
'Common sense' could probably use a more precise definition in this context. It could be defined as the responses that an individual develops over time due to experience. For example, one can learn not to touch a fire because of the painful burn, and then it becomes 'common sense' not to stick your hands in a flame.

Additionally, common sense could develop as a social phenomenon, in which one learns behavior from watching others, or verifies sensory information by checking with others. For example, we quickly learn that wearing clothes in public is expected behavior, and we also check with others if we sense something unusual or threatening (did you hear that loud bang? do you smell that gas leak? etc.).

Teaching computational systems this version of common sense would require the system to have senses and the ability to learn from that sensory input, and also the ability to check the veracity of information / acceptable behavioral decisions with other similar systems. Groups of drones seem capable of doing something like this, coordinating their behavior by checking each other's position.
Certainly; context accounts for a lot. I wouldn't wish Mountain Lion on anyone :-)

I think what it boils down to for me is this: the world is full of loons. If we don't allow ourselves to be open to spontaneous interactions, the average spontaneous interaction we have is more likely to be one involving a loon. Those memories also tend to be more salient because of their negativity, so we need to be intentional in remembering all of the lesser but positive experiences we've had with strangers.
> asdf does not allow you to keep three different versions of the same language

Sure it does. You can have any number installed and either switch by changing the tools version file, setting it for your shell, or referencing the right path directly.

> You're at the mercy of what the plugin does

Again theory vs practice. In theory, sure, it depends on the plugin. In practice, almost every plugin lists every single released version to choose from. Which is much different from nix where the official choices are limited and you have to work to enable the rest.

If Google has these options, why can't I search for any image and have it not return any Pinterest results? If I search with -site:pinterest.com, I get Pinterest's million alternate tlds, if I just search for -pinterest, Google decides, in their infinite wisdom, that I didn't actually mean that and ignores it.
> Because it literally still is a simple box where you put a question in and it gives you answers without needing to do anything else.

And that's great if it works! The problem is that once it fails (and, at least in my use-case, it does so quite often), working with it becomes an absolute pain.

I, too, would prefer an omniscient box perfectly answering my questions. But it clearly doesn't exist. And a box with screws to adjust so that I can eventually find what I'm looking for is the second best thing.
In the U.S., its part of their culture that striking up a conversation with a total stranger is normal. It just looks weird to the rest of the world, but I think it works out in their favor.
Ask HN: Career Progression options for Senior Engineers
I'm a fairly newly minted senior engineer (by title)

What kind of career progression is there? Do I just shoot for the next level (Staff which are usually older than me in my org) or do I try to accumulate raises.

I can try to go for a lead position but I don't know how I would perform as a lead.

I'm not sure what the move is right now. I would like to stay at my current company because pre-ipo.

Any thoughts?
Why does it need a server? Is that normal for a terminal?
I understand what you're saying but get the feeling you're painting in a light that just doesn't align with the way people make decisions.

Have you ever known someone who procrastinates on an important task even though they know it's important? They rationally know it's in their best interest and needs to get done. They know it's not fear, because there's no real threat of bodily harm. Yet they can't get the initiative to begin the task. Maybe they eventually get around to doing it because they can rationalize themselves into action, but why was there a delay at all?

I'm saying it's because the parts of our brain that help initiate decisions are affected by fight-or-flight stress. In the case above, the stress may be caused by the anxiety of an overwhelming task. Delayed action is a form of coping. It's not "fear", but there is still a delayed decision because anxiety initiates a similar response. Is it rational? Not at all. It still governed by the same mechanisms, but can be overridden even when it takes some time. Just like in a real fear scenario when people can't think straight enough to act. If you can understand that "being late" is, at times, a coping mechanism for that stress, then you can understand the relevance of my point.
The title is inaccurate. There is nothing in here about "cult recruitment", more just the author not being comfortable with the vibe someone was giving off. Which is fine, but it's a far cry from "cult".

Where have the mysterious bits to be streamed run off to in your scenario? Is it possible they still remain available to rightsholders, and will simply pass the streaming rights to the next “big one”?
The big French flag (bottom left) was mostly drawned and defended by the French streamers.
There were more than 400k viewers last night on Kameto Twitch channel to defend the area (probably 600-700k for all French streamers) and they were regularly attacked by Spanish + US streamers who were trying to destroy the flag.
I would definitely put part of the blame on the design of the system. It allows anyone to write stuff like `"lodash": "*"`, which is a perfectly valid range as far as semver goes. And then there's things like yarn resolutions, where a consumer can completely disregard what a library specifies as its dependencies and override that version with whatever version they want. And there's aliases (`"lodash": "npm:anotherpackage@whatever"`) and github shorthands and all sorts of other wonky obscure features. And we haven't even touched on supply chain vulns...

Nah, they really dropped the ball with updates. 2 years of security updates for a 1200€ phone?? Note the clock starts ticking as soon as they announce the phone, and it takes ages before it is actually available, resulting in about 1.5 years of security updates. This is laughable for a flagship and should result in a boycott.
I too like many others feel that Google results have gone really bad in the last year which may be partially due to web pollution but the main issue is that I feel like google's search totally ignores my requests, a lot of times it even ignores exact matches using quotes.

If only we could get some sql-like powers in that simple input box. Maybe I'm not their target audience...who knows.
the new "fly over and drop paper propaganda fliers in enemy territory" - just launch a bunch of drones to share your message and have them disperse before the authorities arrive.
I don't think you are taking my point.

Yes, you can have a website and your own voice. But if you are being excluded from public platforms - not because you are doing anything illegal, but because a majority or even just the owner doesn't like your opinion - this is a genuine problem. You will live in an echo chamber.

These are legal issues and there is legal framework already in existence to prevent illegal acts. Shops cannot refuse service to the public. But an online public platform - eg Twitter - is able to refuse. The ability to refer to a terms of service document that can justify stopping your usage of a public platform when a person has done nothing wrong, should not be legal. That you can be silenced can interpreted as a political act, eg Trump. You might agree with the political slant (but then how would you even hear about alternative views?).

I really don't get how you can think or argue that voices are not being censored in the public domain.
He often doesn't do things "by the book" and will not wait for what he thinks is unnecessary red-tape. He will skirt around regulations and taunt the process the entire way. We've seen it many times before, and it's always purely in the benefit of whatever company he's helping at the time.

He has no problem throwing people/money/etc. at the problem to get the result he wants and if someone so much as says the opposite, they are removed from the equation (fired, publicly ridiculed, etc.).

I personally don't see what benefit he can bring to Twitter other than shaking up the culture. Who knows, he may even come in, take over, and claim to be a founder of Twitter, just like he did with Tesla.

As I mentioned above, fusion output scales with reactor size and magnetic field strength, and five seconds is the limit of their copper coils. There's no way for JET to significantly change any of that, so I don't know why you'd expect large improvements from them.

After 1997, the only way to scale up was reactor size, and that started with ITER, the 20-story-tall reactor in France. That soaked up a lot of fusion money, has been slow to build, and it's still not running. But more recently REBCO hit the market, and the same scaling laws say a reactor smaller than JET using those should get substantial energy gain. Two projects are building such reactors, and at least one will be ready around 2025.

(In any case, I wouldn't say five diesel locomotives are comparable to "burning a few tiny lumps of coal.")
yeah, The Boring Company is absolutely killing it. I use that thing every day
The same argument could be made against laws, including plenty of laws that both you and I, and plenty of others, agree should never be broken.

So I'm not very persuaded by this argument.

I wrote Bazel's system for downloading files. https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/commit/ed7ced0018dc5c5eb... So I'm sympathetic to your point of view. However some of us feel like people should stop reinventing Make and instead make Make better. That's what I'm doing. I'm adding ptrace() support. That's something I asked the Bazel folks to do for years but they felt it was a more important priority to have Bazel be a system for running other build systems like Make, embedded inside Bazel. So I asked myself, why don't we just use Make? It's what Google used to use for its mono repo for like ten years.

You can't abuse new users like this, even if you suspect they're not a genuine new user. We don't want HN to be hostile to outsiders. Welcoming new good-faith users is a thousand times more important than the irritation of serial trolls, so it's important to err on the side of the former.

It's complicated. Obviously nobody likes a tattle-tale in childhood, even the teachers/authorities are annoyed. Part of participating in a healthy society is building strong connections and a surprising amount of that occurs surrounding shared shenanigans, keeping little secrets, not betraying your friends.

I'm not sure where to draw the line, perhaps it's never really clear.
Good. That is all there is to it other than the dispute with the SEC.

As for Twitter itself, they want someone else's input on how the blue digital pharmaceuticals company is run, especially for its 'users'.

> Some days I wonder what would stop me writing my own web crawler and building my own damn search engine from scratch.

A few things:

* Storing the index. For example if I search for "Sushi", google says there is 1.3 Billion results. That's already 19.3 GiB just to store the relationship between "sushi" and its results. (If you use UUIDs) And you need to do that for most words in the english dictionnary. And I'm assuming you're not even storing what you crawl for debugging/re-indexing.

* Website admins might throttle you. For example, discourse — a website which runs most discussion for Rust, Ocaml, and many other projects — blocked the bingbot at some point[1] due to its crawling aggressivity. Cloudflare, which is the front-facing caching service for almost half of the internet now, is notoriously anti-crawling. (It will quickly display captchas)

* grep over the web will yield you bad results. (most of the time) You want a search engine which at least groups words semantically. If I search for horses, I'm usually also interested in mares and ponies.

I use JustWatch for this. Justwatch shows the new / popular / interesting content across streaming services, with a comprehensive search and wishlisting.

> All those people lied - buy we're blaming the civilian population ...

Those people are us. The system is us, including you and me. There's nobody else to blame, and nobody else to do anything about it. Nothing in the parent comment offers a solution, or a better solution, or an improvement on the existing solution.

Blaming some unnamed entity, pulling out a list of bad things that have happened over a half-century, simplifying and hyperbolizing them, taking them out of context (of the good, of the possibilities, of the causes and effects, etc.) - that only disrupts the situation further, and that act is part of the reason our system sometimes doesn't work. That comment was written in your capacity as a fully fledged, fully vested actor in the system. Of course it isn't working right here, right now.
That's absolutely it. Insofar as it's funny, it is so because of the lengths taken to achieve the "made you look". It's the same reason why putting an Austin Seven on the roof of the Senate House in Cambridge* is funny, which is to say it isn't funny in any way you can explain, but is clearly hilarious for the pure whimsy.
