I hiked the Long Trail in Vermont some years ago, and there’s a cafe/hostel in Rutland called the Yellow Deli run by 12 Tribes. The joke amongst hikers was that if you stayed there for more than 2 nights, you’d never leave.

They left “trail magic” food advertising their establishment, which was pretty tasty, especially to someone with a strong case of hiker hunger. And they’d be very friendly with you while you are at the cafe.

Their flyers were completely over the top. Made for some entertaining reading for a day.
As a German who loves hiking, let me tell you that you can not go more than 5kms without hitting a village, town or highway anywhere in this country. I am truly envious of having wilderness around like in the US or northern Scandinavia.
Just screenshot them instead of embedding them.

If you cared about JS injection why would you embed anything?!
I think this is a little unexpected though since "you" are still hosting the text of the tweet on your site and publishing it to your visitors but also with a Twitter script that hides it.
NVidia Riva TNT2 Series! I spent the better part of a summer doing odd jobs to earn enough to purchase one from the local Electronic's Boutique. Great memories :)
If you can't test it, because you need a degree, a license, an approval, access to huge funds, it is not "scientifically testable". Once in a while, when "science" is put to test, it has failed. A lot of the times, when irregularities are pointed out, people are deplatformed, discredited, have their licenses taken away, forced to resign. Stop repeating that nonsense.

There's only marketing material crafted to secure funds or profits. We only have anecdotes and stories that we can rely on... and only when it comes from people we know.

I wouldn't necessarily call this a minimalist design. I do like Tufte-style websites with sidenotes, but these don't show on mobile for this site, despite my tablet having a large screen.

> Gwern.net used Baskerville, but system Baskerville fonts don’t have small caps.

Can someone explain to me what is meant by this? I don't understand what not having small caps means. I use Baskerville in my LaTeX documents with Michael Spivak's MathTime2 Pro fonts I purchased. I am currently building my blog, and despite trying to just get it out there and worry about my ideal design later, I am considering trying Baskerville and other such fonts instead of sans-serif fonts.
HN 2023 article: "Companies optimising for profit through good PR considered hostile"
>Starting looking for a job doing manual labour. Working with a computer no longer an option.

Can relate, but the career advancement prospects in software-unrelated fields are seemingly non-existent and employers are increasingly exploitative (e.g. CP Rail). Seems you have to start your own company to get anywhere or you're just spinning your wheels for the rest of your working life.
I'm looking for a version of the is that supports pagination from a db backend so you don't have to load all the data to the frontend at once. I need a read only spreadsheet with lots of data. Does anybody have any suggestions?
Why not just copy paste or screenshot the Tweet? It's bizarre to reference a script from twitter.com directly in your site's source code and then complain that the script is doing exactly what it is supposed to.
I was so confused when the article said "See? If I embed this tweet, you can't see it" but it was there to me (since Twitter JS is blocked by at least two extensions in my browser). Thank you for pointing that out!
The first paragraph of Nabokov’s memoir Speak, Memory.

“The cradle rocks above an abyss, and common sense tells us that our existence is but a brief crack of light between two eternities of darkness. Although the two are identical twins, man, as a rule, views the prenatal abyss with more calm than the one he is heading for (at some forty-five hundred heartbeats an hour). I know, however, of a young chronophobiac who experienced something like panic when looking for the first time at homemade movies that had been taken a few weeks before his birth. He saw a world that was practically unchanged--the same house, the same people--and then realized that he did not exist there at all and that nobody mourned his absence. He caught a glimpse of his mother waving from an upstairs window, and that unfamiliar gesture disturbed him, as if it were some mysterious farewell. But what particularly frightened him was the sight of a brand-new baby carriage standing there on the porch, with the smug, encroaching air of a coffin; even that was empty, as if, in the reverse course of events, his very bones had disintegrated.”

Hydra: German police dismantled Russian darknet site
Is that true for Kindle-like e-paper devices?
It really depends on the context and situation. One example off the top of my mind - I was working from some coffee shop, at the table next to me another geek was also coding. He seemed to be working on something interesting. After a couple of hours I just struck a conversation. We had lots in common in terms of coding areas of interest, shared some fun battle stories, etc. Eventually went back to coding and then went our separate ways. But it was a fun little interaction that I still remember, while for the life of me I can't remember what I was working on.
So that is the reason why that weird "unsupported" message showed up at a system I was upgrading some time ago.

What I don't get... yes, it may be possible to get a dpkg database into an inconsistent state. But why is everyone hoping on a patch that may or may not appear to prevent these bugs, instead of deriving a way to fix a system with an inconsistent dpkg database?

Oh, this is the missing piece! It seems I'm blocking Twitter's JS if it's not on their site. I didn't even realise and I was confused about what the author meant as I could clearly see the tweet on their site.
For people who move the mouse a lot or just don't like popup footnotes, Gwern's website has thought of you aswell. If a popup shows up, click the button at the top right of the popup, and select the option to permanently disable popups.
Non-standard doesn't mean improper. It's still valid English. Just because some people are too lazy to type or comprehend an apostrophe in the word "it's" to signify "it is" doesn't mean that the rest of us have to follow their lazy example.

It was in pre-release for a few weeks to address any regressions.

It'll block the multi-login and require you to fully sign out of everything, THEN log into the other organization account.
I thought A/B testing was the state of the art in that field, which would address your concern?
Exactly.

A scanner knows enough vocabulary to fool non-experts and thus is susceptible to developing DK. This definitely enforces DK as one of many factors.

I have met several such people. I have expertise in multiple narrow areas, and they couldn’t fool me.

This has, in turn, made me skeptic in all other areas where I do not have expertise. I always have my guards up when I hear someone talk about anything.
Happened to me too, met them in some shop, met later at a coffee shop nearby. Thought I was making a friend and my heart sank when they mentioned their "mentor", then I knew I had been tricked. I was pissed and profoundly disappointed in myself. I just started talking and talking. I don't even remember what I said, I just didn't shut up. But, they couldn't leave because I was so nice. It was a strange intuitive reaction, it wasn't a conscious decision. It's like I pinned them down with words until I had had enough, wasting their time. The funny thing was, they got it. They didn't want to follow up, they had my number; but, never reached out again, they just wanted out of there. Whenever anyone of these people approaches me I do the same thing, I just start talking, having fun with it too. Just burning time taking about 3d printing or whatever random stuff I think of. Anytime they try to take control of the conversation... "oh wow that makes me think of..."
Aesthetics and familiarity? It's a lot nicer to link the user's name directly to their profile, and the date directly to their tweet on Twitter as opposed to having a separately link or whatnot. For many, especially your average Joe/Jane, will expect the aforementioned behaviour.
https://opensource.org/blog/court-affirms-its-false-advertis... (Linked to from the article):

“The facts, as described by the trial court, are that Neo4j, Inc. had been through several releases of its software and several license choices along the way, ending with what the court called “the Sweden Software License,” because the licensor was a Swedish subsidiary of the plaintiff.

This “Swedish license” was simply the combination of the Affero General Public License with an additional restriction known as the Commons Clause. The defendants forked the software, renamed it “Open Native Graph Database” (ONgDB), and started distributing their version as AGPLv3-only licensed. They advertised ONgDB as “free and open source,” “100% free and open,” and “100% open source.”

The parties didn’t dispute that the use of the Commons Clause makes a license non-free. There was also no allegation that Neo4j had claimed that its software under the AGPLv3 + Commons Clause was open source. However, the court held that it was improper for the defendants to remove the Commons Clause, and therefore the defendants’ claims in advertising that its ONgDB software was open source was false advertising.”

That page also says:

“There's another interesting aspect to this case. Even though the AGPL has a clause specifically allowing downstream recipients to remove "further restrictions" like the Commons Clause, the court stopped the defendant from doing just that. We'll cover that in our next post.”

I couldn’t find such a post.
Even if the right to be forgotten is a moral good, it is not (and should not be) an absolute right trumping other rights such as freedom of expression (also a moral good). Twitter can decide to stop hosting the content you published on there, either at your request or at their discretion (e.g. banning your account), but forcefully removing content from another operator's website is overreaching, it is simply not their call to make.
I have a solution for the google problem, but don't have time to pursue this myself. So anyone interested, steal my idea! (Or bash it in the replies, it's HN after all :D)

Instead of pagerank we need peoplerank. Let's say we build a new elgooG search engine that you can customize by indicating which people you trust. For example I say to trust Paul Graham about the topics entrepreneur and startup. Then, authors like Paul can register a key on elgooG and sign their online articles with that key.

When I search topics related to startups, elgooG knows I trust Paul and will try to find articles from him or anyone that he trusts, or even 3rd grade connections.

It is very difficult to fool such a search engine with SEO optimization, since the user actually indicates which people to trust.

I'm pretyy confident it would be a good solution, but I'm afraid it's very hard to start up.

If you steal my idea, please consider giving me a 1% stake (or less) in your company ;D.
I can't comment for performance of Eigen concerning complex calculations, since my work lives in the real domain.

On the other hand, Eigen didn't claim to be faster than any BLAS during my interaction with informational side of their website. Nowadays, I just get the latest version, update my code and directly reach for their reference guide.

However, being used by both CERN (in LHC ATLAS) and TensorFlow, I guess they're no slouch in terms of performance (it also genuinely amazed my heavy BLAS fan professor at my Jury when the performance numbers came up). Another plus is, Eigen's ability to be used in CUDA kernels (though I didn't try it yet).

On the other hand, they're insanely fast (almost BLAS fast in my experience) for what I'm doing, and it's really well optimized (shows when you use -O3, especially on the solvers side). Also, it has neat capabilities like dynamic matrices and instant submatrix access (you can get a submatrix of a matrix, or just patch in a submatrix in a single call).

About RAM placement: From my experience, code becomes overly dependent on non-fragmented memory when allocating big matrices and/or vectors naively (i.e. in a contiguous manner), and execution fails as the node you're running on (or your computer) gets busier with other code. Eigen counters this by intelligently dividing bigger matrices into smaller chunks, both optimizing the access time and reducing (or effectively eliminating from my experience) the risk of segmentation faults related to failed memory allocations due to not having not enough undivided space in the memory space.
In which case, it's still wrong in the title. Just because people are too lazy to scroll up and read the erroneous title doesn't mean nit picking pedantry makes them correct.
That’s essentially a prediction market, if I understand them correctly.
This practice can hardly come as news. They all do this with their social buttons and have been for almost 20 years
> So Twitter deciding to use privacy as an argument to enable a few reported on whales to beautify their record (because let's be fair, who embedded a tweet from Jane Doe?) seems at least questionable.

It's not just a few whales. Imagine you're being arrested, someone films that arrest while the cops are speaking your PII (name, address) into their radios, and the video of the arrest ends up on Twitter.

Under "right to be forgotten", you could (and can) demand removal of that video - but your data would still be floating around the net.
As a user, I can see the potential, sure. But it's not realized in any way. Right now this terminal uses Internet only for collecting my data (GitHub account, telemetry, and more).

The value proposition is negative. A paradigm shift, sure, but IMO in wrong direction.
I guess, people would enjoy being stuck with Java 6 or going back to C++98, or never have experienced a UNIX where C is actually prevented to do its typical misbehaviours since a decade now.
> Do you want the unwashed masses in your specialist forums?

Having the choice between "unwashed masses" and "curated to suit political agenda" I would firmly choose the former.

Before I get attacked on political agenda angle, please understand that it takes trained professional actively trying to remain objective to have impartial moderation. Many professional discussion moderators fail here and you just cannot expect neither unpaid volunteers (doing things out of passion which is not impartial in the first place) nor paid employees enforcing company policy (again very much partial) to remain objective.

The goal of moderation should be to allow for multiple angles of thought to emerge and not get drowned. Give me the tools to see those non-mainstream positions.
I haven't used Google's search for a long time. The sticky ones for me now are gmail and YouTube. gmail because it is a lock-in, once you have the email address, I don't think you can ever change. Since I am a Chinese now I have to think about if Google stops serving me in the future, but I am deeply invested in my gmail account :( The other one is YouTube, where it can work without login.

Google's simple box is not attractive when others can provide the same quality in search results.
It’s sadly due to distance attenuation and obstacles (like our squishy bodies). So it’s too loud in front, not quite so at the back or the side.
We can of course add more speaker… but then we have to fight with latency - we’re quite good at noticing them in live environment.

And, at least in most of the major European country, there are noise level ceilings which are checked. You’ll still need to wear hear plugs if you want to be comfy for anything bigger than a bar.
I'd love to try that 127 bpp display they mention.
Well if you want Twitter's aesthetics then you have to import their CSS/JS and let them "edit your site". Or recreate all of it yourself. What solution are people looking for exactly?
> on a choke point widget

So a single data point? I didn't see it claimed that there is not a single small thing that can have a big effect. It's about large numbers. I think individual examples obfuscate more than they help us understand, when it is given in lieu of wider view instead of just as a support for one.

In this context, I would also like to see considerations of a larger picture. Sure, it helps any single company make more money. What about beyond that? Because money is a proximate goal, even if it's the ultimate one for a business, from a human society point of view that introduced this tool for a specific reason and not for its own sake.

For example, what does it mean to have some ultra-optimized large companies dominating their space? Would society really lose something without some micro-optimizations, even if they raise profit? The people who end up not making a purchase on a website because they are not as much caught in the optimized patterns, is it actually bad for them, or maybe they are actually better off and the optimizations tricked them into making an actually unfavorable (even if slightly) purchase? I think there is more to consider than just the view from the respective company or even the department. Are the means used to win actually good from a wider point of view that is not centered on that winner alone?

If someone does not make a purchase because something is slightly off, are they actually worse off, neutral or better in the end? It can't have been all that important to them to make that transaction, no?
It’s completely irrelevant. We could live in the back of a series of turtles and it would have absolutely zero impact on your life whatsoever.

That’s the very definition of the word irrelevant!

And I found it useful to occasionally challenge my assumptions, to see if there’s anything I’m missing. No hostility meant!
It always comes to intersection of physical world and computers. After all electrons can only move so fast that is so far in single clock cycle... And I think more complex chips are internally "longer"...

We could probably make some older generation chip now and run it much faster, but it is easier and more efficient to add lot more chip...

I recall the Radeon 9800 Pro was being sold for about US$300 and came with Half-Life 2, which was designed for it.
Doom 3 was out at the same time and was optimised for NVidia cards. It was a sort of "battle of the graphics platforms", both hardware-wise and software-wise.

And now two short decades later we're paying 10x the amount for top-tier cards, and HL3 still isn't out.
"To compare this to C, if you are building a dynamically linked library, then it is a mere 8 kbytes. If you do it static, then the size increases to over 800 kbytes which is surprisingly even larger than the Go binary (snippet 3)."

19kbytes using musl. Stripped is 14kbytes.

Static is 25kbytes. Stripped is 19kbytes.

There seems to be some conflation of a particular C standard library with the C language.

There are many C standard libraries, of varying quality. They do not all come from Bell Labs.

With Go, it seems like only one standard library is ever considered. The one from Google.

I want to know how to compile Rust programs on computers that have enough resources to compile C programs but not much more.
Can that document be opened in non-Adobe PDF readers? For instance, we're a Linux household. Will Okular open those character sheets?
Oh. Lucky coincidence. Great to have an official release again.
> Twitter is under no obligation to retain this kind of stuff on your behalf.

They declared something worked one way then silently changed how that thing works without properly announcing the change first and giving people enough time to adapt. Would you still be willing to make these excuses if your emails provider decided to do the same thing?

Even if it's their system, there's a limit where people would rightfully start to object.
No one can set a goal for you. You have to find your own goals within yourself.

If your goal is to enrich knowledge and educate yourself, you can just continue reading and learning.

If your goal is to become famous, you can start a blog, write articles, write a book, start a YouTube channel.

If your goal is to make money you can research some corporations, NGOs or think tanks that will pay you for producing materials that support their goals.
The problem isn't the use of "it's" to mean "it is". The problem is the use of "it's" to mean "its", a different word with a different meaning.
It seems like the community of CalyxOS is attacking and harassing members of the GrapheneOS project.
This is not true. Dont forget PDF is format developed by Adobe. There is no reason Scribus output would be superior.
Its probably simply that you are more mindful, experienced, systematic user where adobe gets used by complete amateurs more often who have no idea about output.
> The only fundamental way for a business to make more money is to invent actual, new feature and business models.

I’m not sure this is fair for services like Airbnb where what they sell is conveniences.

Their entire product existed before Airbnb. It even existed before the internet. What Airbnb did so successful was that they branded themselves with a good product that disrupted the market by being easier to use.

The thing about disrupting markets by selling easy of use, is that your competition is already well versed in the market you disrupted. Some of them may do the dinosaur but others will take your ideas and try to make them better. If you don’t continuously improve the ease or use of your product, then people are going to download eurobooking or whatever other options there are now instead.

You know this, because you’ve likely done it yourself a million times with various applications that do the same thing, but some find a way to be easier to use.

Obviously these companies are going to want to find (or invent) new products to get included. But that is typically more of a non-software quest that eventually leads to some of the engineers being tasked with building what the marketing/sales/business process people find.
Just like the factoid quoted by the teaser trailer, this seems outdated by now ;)
