I disagree wholeheartedly. But its clear further back and forth's will be unproductive.
This is an absurd statement. Reddit is by far the most effectively gamed and manipulated social media platform that exists. There’s countless examples of how powerful mods are on Reddit on shaping narratives.
Wow! That was... Fast.
So he is pro free speech and non censorship and allowing for idiots to make idiots of themselves. I see no problem here.

Having come from a quasi socialist dictatorship and being a foreign born Hispanic ,I would fight for the right of the racist idiots to post there idiotic comments. You fight ignorance with education and rational debate, not with censorship.

It appears that Elon wants to treat Adults as Adults and let them make up their own minds. Unless you are bad at adulting this shouldn't be a negative, but a positive. Let me make up my own mind and don't have a Corporate Oligarch and a Gov't riddled with conflict of interest spoon feed me or use group think bullying to shape society based on Tech Oligarch morality and political believes.
Thanks for flagging that! There's a long-tail of completion improvements in Warp that we'd like to fix in the coming weeks/months. We'll make sure this gets fixed!
The seem to have updated their website now. We even get a very humble "our incredible journey" farewell:

>Buying online has been forever changed by the incredible team at Fast. The dedication, brilliance and spirit of this remarkable team is unparalleled and will forever be the legacy of Fast.
All doctors I talked to the last 5 years have said to concentrate on getting heart rate up. If you for some reason can't manage 30 minutes, maybe you have knee problems or whatever, 5 minutes now and then is better than nothing. But the most important thing is to get your heart rate up, not how many steps you take.

The recommendation in Sweden is to take 30 minutes fast walk. That has been converted to 10k steps here to sell step counters I guess.

How's it compare with Subsonic and allies? I like the interface and the clients for Subsonic, but I've never had good luck with its indexing and transcoding from network sources like my NAS.
interesting how a terminal nowadays needs a whole company with career options and venture funds backing, unless you're trying to make a bloated product out of it ofc

don't get me wrong, it looks great as it is right now, but i'm very sceptical about it's future
They are not “conservative”. Zemmour is an impression of a conservative from the 1930s by someone who’s never read a history book, and le Pen is anything but a conservative. A xenophobe, sure, but her manifesto does not look like anything conservative beyond the appeal to the Fatherland.

The only conservative candidate is Pécresse, and she is not “sensitive”, because she’s never been convicted for hate speech or inciting violence.
I agree with you - that was the "common pathway" comment.

I am interested in the complicated part, which is why that delta exists, and how to actually do something about it. You implied in another comment that following a diet is a solution. I think you should acknowledge how disingenuous this comes across given that doesn't work for millions of people. I think other commenters have gotten this across: how simple your response sounds compared to what it actually takes to "follow a diet" for the rest of your life. Do you tell people with high blood pressure to "just relax"?

> If it's large and expensive the likelihood that it's some random person decreases

We have identification requirements for other types of planes that cost significantly more.

On the other hand, I've seen utility-branded work clothing at Goodwill.
It's easy to criticize but fun to play.
It is important not to confuse correlation and causation though (I mean even if your speculation that most insecurity* comes from immigrants was true).

Also EZ have made it very clear that he doesn't have that much problems when immigrants are white and christian (even recently when discussing immigrants from Ukraine) so it's not like he is really hiding that everything he says about immigrants is really about non white and Muslim people.

* Not exactly sure what insecurity means exactly. I feel it's often used to mean "the feeling ignorant people have when they see foreigners" in which case you might be right :)
> The terminal’s teletype-like interface has made it hard for the CLI to thrive.

CLIs are available on every OS.

> I always forget how to use `tar`;

You can increase the amount of command history you keep. Or keep a file with oft used commands.

> Our business model is to make the terminal so useful for individuals that their companies will want to pay for the team features.

Hard to believe. But good luck.

> We will never sell your data.

Define never. What if apple offered you $10 billion for the data? Even then? Also, why would you be collecting our data in the first place? Why does a terminal need to collect data?

Is there any new development or any product today that isn't collecting data? When's the last new product or upgrade or anything that didn't have data collection.
I’ve completed tasks on my 16gb M1 pro in half the time than a 32gb i7 8gen Intel. Not Haskell but an R script processing lots of bioinformatics data. Maxed out CPU for the first time with this script and I couldn’t hear the fan
I feel like those are not mutually exclusive. The button could say "Rerun failed jobs" no confirmation with a small ▼ next to it that has the other "rerun all jobs" drop down.
Yeah, these instance types look strong and it seems that Amazon is also innovating in the local storage space as well as I don't find many of the usual gotchas with SSDs there (long GC pauses, etc).

We may be moving to a future where cloud hardware stops being "just OK" and a low maintenance version of what you could build yourself, but actually offering unobtainable-by-mere-mortals hardware and firmware (we are already seeing this for e.g. with quantum computing options in the cloud and even arguably GPUs and ML accelerators).
I'd argue that the post you link to should be flagged. The title is editorialized.

If it were indeed the original title, I'd flag this one.
TikTok's purpose and use-case is completely different from that of a search engine.
The problem is that for every $1 someone is willing to spend to not have spammy results, a spammer is willing to pay $10 for you to see it anyway. And the more "trustworthy" a platform grows, then the going price for manipulating it will keep rising until they hire the right MBA who decides to squander the company's reputation for a quick buck. Seems to be a recurring theme at least.
Looks like this is mostly Ring + Hiccup (<https://github.com/coast-framework/coast/blob/master/deps.ed...>) with a DB connection pool.
Not that I'm trying to convince you to come back, but Plex does work without internet access. The Roku app allows you to set up a fallback ip when it happens as well.

I don't love the cloud login either, but I do still use it. Just wanted to point out that the server and (some?) clients work without it.
I always figured that it was just Netflix wanting to be in control of the UI, recommendations, etc.

But apparently other's have this ability?

So you are probably right. Annoying as hell and tbh has led me to use Netflix significantly less... which has led me to consider canceling it.
I actually don't think rasing the minimum wage is a solution to poverty.

Back in LA I was only making 10$ an hour, which was enough for a 600$ apartment. We need more 600$ apartments, if you make 15$ an hour but rent is 1200$ you lost money.

While making this 10$ an hour I worked alongside many brilliant folks, a few had masters degrees. They had to manage student loans as well off 10$ an hour.

While this got muddled a bit, my point is there's more than one life path.

If you're not able to attend college, maybe your just not a good fit for it, you can still find a great career.

Likewise, you can get into a top school and still squander your life. Mental health here is a big issue, the pressure to do well can leave you permanently disabled.

College sorta serves as a filter, someone who attends an elite school is much more likely to be intrinsically motivated. But it serves no one to pressure people who just aren't college bound into attending anyway. It's just a great way to make someone nuts.
I agree with this, however it could be used as a platform for others to provide their own config and you can piggyback off the work of others.

It's kind of like ad-blockers where you don't have to maintain a list of domains to block. Others do that for you. And then people could create hosted version of their simple box with all the infra taken care of.
One-click checkout

Under what circumstances is this not a foolish thing to want? I thought it was cool on Amazon until I realized it was just a tool for generating unwanted orders that you then have to cancel.
What, you want Google's salaried visual designers (that they would have even with different priorities) to try their hand at solving YouTube spam-filter scaling?
Plenty of options. Any sort of intel field, lots of technical or mechanic fields -- some of them like fixing F-18 radars, are serious door openers; even diesel mechanics can do well as a civilian -- and plenty of less shooty roles, like dental or x-ray technicians, electricians, satellite techs, etc.

I know dudes who went into the AF and USMC and ended up as programmers, to include 1+ years of coding training.

Meanwhile the infantry guys end up as cops or security guards, lot of the logistic guys end up as truckers, etc.
> as I understand it you can't do this in Russia today...

Or Ukraine or many other countries. Not sure why you singled out Russia specifically.

However, if you are just watching corporate media you're not getting the full picture either. CNN and Fox News have very similar opinions on non-culture war issues.
How do you check which requests its making? Do you just use tcpdump or something?
Funny, that!
Its not like he lost that money, twitter stock is up 20%.
Just amazing what these guys can do. The UE team and the Nvidia guys are doing 99% of the interesting work in graphics these days.
Of course. It will still be true in 2032; it will just be a much higher threshold of warming, with much more severe consequences, that we'll be about to cross. We can always wait longer and make things worse, right up until the whole global economy collapses and most of us die.
dyson sphere... as crazy as it sounds. that's it.
Having worked with a few dozen former and current Twitter employees.
Its just the San Francisco “silence is violence” crowd. The “use your platform” crowd. They are not objective even if you coincidentally like the cause of the day.

If you try to express a dissenting opinion at that organization, even as an attempt to refine that opinion, you get kicked out. You made someone uncomfortable.

Taking a spiked metal baseball bat to that beehive is the way to deal with it. Whether it will be better? Unlikely, just different

Anecdote of one, but personally I found the Apple TV app on my physical Apple TV (and yes I add my name to the long list of people asking how high they were when naming overlapping but not nearly identical hardware and software products the same as each other) to be so bad that I never use it.

I love the idea that it can pull all my media into one place, but realistically it doesn't work with all apps - a particularly relavent example in this thread being that it completely ignores my plex - and is buggy with the rest, such as BBC iPlayer which usually correctly shows up in Apple TV app (all be it with a worse UI than BBC's not-amazing-itself app) but doesn't always show my latest next-up info.

I dislike it so much that I have watched illegal rips of Apple TV+ shows on plex despite having a valid subscription to watch them in the Apple TV+ section of the Apple TV app on my Apple TV device.
Thanks for the response! That sounds great to me.
... use it as fuel?

If we had a modular MSR reactor we could cart it there and "burn" it.

Otherwise can't you just de-enrich it by mixing in other Uranium isotopes and send it the usual way to the nuclear solid fuel rod monopoly?

Is what they actually mean is "it's REALLY valuable since it's already enriched weapons-grade, so how do we keep it until someone "safe" pays for it."?
project is a huge yikes
You should note that I'm an amateur that toys with different game engines from time to time, but I don't think that any of their competitors is even close to be able to catch up with UE even if they have 10 years(not talking about current state of UE, but about state of UE 10 years from now).

Unity does have some nice ECS things going, but overall their tech isn't good(prime reason why is that they don't make games, they make engine).

Main branch of CryEngine is dead as engine that anyone aside from CryTek is using, but Amazon invests a lot into their fork(but it lacks vision TBH).

Godot is good for 2d, but they aren't really going for that kind of experience.
I realize how much effort is going into a project like this and I do hope you find a way to monetize on it, but until it's open sourced and auditable, I personally could never see me using it. The risk is simply too high.
Whether or not the status quo is an "ideology" is a semantic distraction. For some strict technical definition of "ideology", it may well be, but the interesting question is whether or not it's radical. Since the status quo refers to mainstream, moderate attitudes, it can't be radical by definition (radical and moderate are antonyms).
Most hacking intrusions begin with social engineering....The last godlike 4D-chess exploit that I remember was Heartbleed in 2014[0].

That 13W3 connector is the worst. I also had an Indy many years ago and getting an adapter together for it was a real challenge. These days I expect it to be somewhat simpler though.
2018 CES - I was really impressed by the Intel drone light show over the Bellagio fountain pool area. Thought it was some weird kind of Vegas wire-pulling effect at first.

There were no drone sounds, just strings of lights moving in increasingly strange and impressive ways.

Kept trying to figure out how they were able to pull such impressive moves until I saw some guy wearing a shirt that said something like "Intel drone team" and the penny finally dropped.

Some "magic" is fun once in a while.

Edit: This is what it looked like:

Further down in the thread, they claim that Warp is nearly as fast as Alacritty. Then a user points out that it isn't even close and their response is basically, yeah, we know that. We want to fix it.

How does a company expect lying on HN to work out well for them? I'm sure they're doing their best, and are excited about their launch. But they are coming off as so shady because they're trying to fool people.
I actually love the foo.* syntax. Think about it like this: if foo were a struct, then foo.x would give you the x field. But what if you want all the fields? Then you'd write foo.* -- a Unix glob!
I don't have any authority over the GNU project. The things I do in the Cosmopolitan Libc repo have no bearing on them. They're free to keep doing what they're doing. However I'm willing to bet that once I add ptrace() support, it'll be attractive enough that folks will be willing to consider the equally libre copy of the GNU Make software that I intend to distribute instead. Just as they'll be free to copy what I did back into their own den of #ifdefs if they want to compete. Competition is good. Open source is good. It's all done with the best intentions. We're going to end up with a better Make once I've contributed this feature.
The average person has simultaneously been outraged at his pedo tweet and also tweeted the same or worse. Have you actually been on twitter? It’s mostly irrational hate and insults

Also I assume you’re British so it’s not the same. You people have a problem with pedophiles. You actually bleep out when people say the word and censor the word when people write it. It’s like some kind of big deal over there. That’s just you bro, nobody else is like that.
I tried infuse maybe a year ago? maybe more, idk... it was around that time that Plex had that big outage that stopped you from even viewing your own local content.

I didn't hate it, but it had some quirks that annoyed me coming from Plex. But maybe I will give it another shot. Pretty sure my Jellyfin server is still just sitting there running alongside Plex.
> Mandatory periodic ID transmit (via RF) by drones at specific altitudes or in specific areas

Remote ID in the US will be in effect September 2023. It functions like a license plate: you won’t be able to identify the operator, but law enforcement will be able to. It will broadcast the location of the drone, the altitude, and the operator’s position.

All drones that need to be registered will also need Remote ID unless they’re flown in a (yet to be designated) FRIA zone (so sub-250g flying recreationally are exempt)

> Standardized visual marking schemes for drones by class, for example municipal, commercial, federal, etc.

None, unless it’s something required by their Certificate of Authorization, which a municipality may be operating under (otherwise it’s Part 107). Realistically, if such a requirement were stipulated it would likely be lights of a certain color / pattern.
I mean, there's a difference between platforms trying solve the issue and Twitter that gives a badge repeat offenders as long as the target of their bigotry is deemed acceptable..
For completions, I would recommend becoming compatible with https://fig.io/ ; perhaps investigating a partnership or even merger with them.
Yesterday they launched a re-designed website. Today they closed doors.

> No, most people have never given a single thought to this.

Probably because they're stuck in a local maximum with no idea how much better it can be. They may not even be aware that there are sites out there that have quality non-commercial content if all they've been given for the last decade is spam to the point where spam has been normalized.
What library do you plan on using for the attribute based encryption?
As someone who lives in the midwest, very disconnected from the SV bubble, this is spot on. I know several conservative-minded people that absolutely care about the censorship and policies SV companies push and despise them for it.
Ask HN: Beating depression with or without anti-depressants?
I realize this is somewhat of a taboo topic but I feel like if there is anywhere we can have a real discussion on mental health it's going to be HN.

I have been struggling with depression for as long as I can remember.

Life has taken me on ups and downs but as far as I can can tell I'm fairly lucky, well-off and have every reason to be happy.

Unfortunately I'm not.

I wake up with a pit in my stomach that I carry around all day and no matter how hard I try I just can't shake it.

It also gets really bad in waves to the point where I nearly can't function but most of all it makes me procrastinate on almost everything.

I usually end up using all my effort just to be a functional member of my team at work.

The sad part is that I know that if I didn't have this condition and I was able to sleep when I wanted to I could be many times more productive, not only at work but also in life.

The obvious solution to these problems are SSRIs and other anti-depressants. These drugs are very powerful but have really bad side-effects for most people that take them.

For these reasons I am completely shit-scared of them. I see them as my option of last resort but increasingly I feel my options running out.

I have tried therapy, I have tried all sorts of coping mechanisms but nothing solves the problem permanently.

So HN, what has your experience been with depression? Have you tried the drugs? What worked or didn't?
Have you been able to triumph without chemical assistance and what did that look like?
Is my utter terror of these drugs warranted or should I just bite the bullet and try them?
Another important feature of Kagi that I'm paying close attention to is: they are currently privately bootstrapped as far as funding goes.

To me the fact that Kagi is not currently VC funded is huge for me as far as adoption. Every customer facing VC funded startup I've worked at inevitably starts to institute increasingly anti-user practices while grinning and talking about "customer first!"

I know it's a huge ask, but if Kagi remains privately funded/non-VC I'll happily pay the moment I can.

I've only been using the service for a short while now but have been enjoying it a lot. The ability to blacklist domains has already dramatically improved my search.
That was fast. They should explore the niche of one-click mass layoffs next.
There aren't any global German social media apps, and the US has a very different media landscape, so like all "what if the situation was completely different" hypotheticals, it would be completely different.

The US operated censorship during WW2: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_of_Censorship ; who knows what would operate during the war with Canada?

I'm not sure whether you're ignorant of the near-total state control of media in Russia and Belarus, but how do you expect them to get accurate news?
That’s a really pedantic point to keep injecting throughout is thread.

Yes, technically it’s an ideological choice to NOT gather up various books at the public library and burn them. But in practice, it’s not ideological at all compared to doing the opposite.
Ask HN: Does anyone else desperately want an alternative to mainstream browsers?
I keep wishing for a "people's browser" not backed by any kind of corporation. I know it's a very complicated piece of software, but it would be wonderful to have another open source browser not derivative from KHTML or Gecko that's fully customizable and built by a lot of people. Anyone else feel this? Maybe it's just me.
