It seems odd that a study meant to examine bias in media and how it affects viewers opinions would only do this switch one way. It also seems like maybe the participants are just somewhat gullible. CNN and FOX are both terrible and I turn the TV off when I see my parents watching either.
I don’t want to dismiss this new model and achievements but we are getting to the point where I feel like what we saw in the open source versus close source systems we see in new ml models another one is forming for open and closed models. I think that larger and larger models will have disclaimers either restricting you from using it commercially (a great deal of academics and NVIDIA models are doing this. And OpenAI just puts it behind an API with the rules :

I completely agree and had the same thoughts reading that. K8s for an MVP?! Throw that thing on a PaaS and forget about ops altogether until it's too expensive.

I think it's really good advice for developers wanting to launch their own project to do at least one or two tiny projects first and try to release and sell them. It makes you much more aggressive with cutting fat at an early stage.

It was an enjoyable read though and I imagine the author learned a whole lot regardless of the outcome.
Let's run with this thought experiment even further: what if I use a very obscure browser that happens to interpret their JS in a very specific (and beneficial to me) way?
I login through the temp access page using my student account. I don't know whether they check it actually if you get the right domain name.
Apart from the obvious Orwellian scenario of airbrushing things we don't like out of history, I think it's a useful feature. Maybe it might be a troll tool, but too many times I made an embarrassing typo that I couldn't cope with (and I have some reach on Twitter).

Now I don't know if Twitter will allow you to see the history of edits to tweets, including the original mistake, but I imagine most people won't be paying close attention to the history of tweet amendments, unless you have a large following and are under scrutiny always (think journalists etc).

Over the years of using Twitter I would routinely delete all my tweets, and start fresh. Tools like semi-ephemeral[0] are useful, but I am wary of apps that have permissions to read my data, so I eventually scrapped semi-ephemeral and settled for having no Twitter apps installed, because privacy.

Fleets were a cool idea and I would actually prefer ephemeral tweets over the ability to edit. I always liked the idea of disappearing messages, because you /will/ regret certain tweets, and I've lost count of how many times I've been genuinely embarrassed because of a tweet I made a year ago (or more!).

It's an impressive rhetorical technique, preemptively dismissing everyone who disagrees with you as "absolutely insincere", but it seems a little obvious, especially elucidating it as clearly as you have here. You don't want to tip your hand too early... That said, it's so stupid it might just work!
Standard disclaimer that I’m not a doctor and this shouldn’t be taken as medical advice, but you might find cognitive Behavorial therapy interesting.

The gist is that there’s a common set of cognitive distortions that we fall into. Things like, “fortune telling,” where we assume some bad outcome is going to happen even if we can’t really say that for certain.

You basically write down all the things that are troubling you, and then see if you can call-out those cognitive distortions.

This is just a 10,000 foot perspective, but it’s actually pretty straightforward.

The book “Feeling Good” popularized it.

Yeah no, this is not how roads works. I don't care if you're a pedestrian, cyclist or driver, if you're following the letter of the law you are causing problems for the other two. All three of these groups routinely ignore laws on a situation specific basis and with local variations. And that selective compliance with the law is what constitutes normal traffic flow. To robotically follow the law in spite of this is ill-advised because it makes your actions less predictable to every other traffic participant.

Cyclists (unfairly, IMO, but that's beside the point) catch shit for rolling signs and lights because it's a toss up whether they will or not and that really inhibits the ability of everyone else around to plan accordingly. Cars don't get crap for speeding because their actions are still predicable allowing everyone else to plan accordingly. Likewise nobody cares when pedestrians jaywalk as long as they don't surprise other traffic when they do it. And nobody cares when cyclists roll stop signs when they time it so that their actions are compatible with the other traffic in the stop.

Frankly, I think the cyclist expectation problem will solve itself when cycling becomes a normal way of commuting and not a lifestyle and fitness thing.
Thank you. Yes, as @gnabgib pointed, you can use it directly from included repositories (static React sites with Node.js server). I can add some basic guide to docs as alternative setup.

So what? NATO antagonization wouldn't even warrant an invasion. Let alone this genocidal war. There's no excuses for this.
Totally on a tangent here (and I realize that this may rub some people the wrong way):

Maybe just ditch O’Reilly learning altogether? The publisher stopped selling ebooks online several years ago and left people with the only option of subscribing to the online service (it does participate in the discounted Humble Bundle sales once in a while). Now these subscription prices are way higher than before. Maybe this is working out quite well for O’Reilly or maybe O’Reilly is grasping at straws (to make more money), but if an individual balks at the prices, isn’t every access a vote for the pricing and the platform, and an indirect encouragement to do away with partnerships that don’t pay “full price”?

What I’d be interested to know is what alternatives exist, even if they aren’t as broad as this one.
If you write functions where you understand the caller to act in a very specific way ... and then ... years later a different caller comes along ...
If you had certain scale assurances—a set number of apps you're sending to, never more than low-five-figures pushes in a batch, never overlapping sends at the same time, et c.—it could be a lot simpler because you could skip most of the queue management work, so sure, for some workloads and usage patterns UA probably wasn't helpful enough to be worth the money. It wasn't for us, either, but that's because we needed to charge for it and couldn't mark it up even higher than UA already did.

[EDIT] Now, somewhat after that 2010 date, maybe 2012 or 2013 IIRC, UA re-structured their pricing and offering a ton which made them even less appealing to us, since their focus seemed to be value-add features for marketers on top of push, which was something we had no use for whatsoever—it's possible that by then they were indeed more trouble than they were worth if you just needed push messaging, even putting aside the cost of the service itself. If your marketing folks were big on using that as a "channel", though, it was probably very much worth it. They had a lot of features for that kind of thing.
I hope this new upper story of the tower is successful. I don't reckon I've actually needed anything weaker than the tower's ptr.addr() and ptr.with_addr(addr) in code I've actually shipped anywhere. Maybe people have examples of stuff (in Rust or otherwise) they've written where they're confident that would not be enough?
I don't believe much into self-improvement industry, in fact I believe it is largely snake oil.

One of the things that I find most gross about this whole industry is pushing the idea that you need to be "fixed".

This kind of industry desperately needs to sell you there's something wrong with you that needs to be repaired or improved in order to sell you the solution.

That's not to say there is no good contents out there, but in the end it can all be summed up to:
have a purpose in life, work towards that purpose, be self disciplined if you want to achieve anything, be honest with yourself and other people.

There isn't really much else to "self improvement" and "happiness" than understanding what you want to be and do, working towards that goal, having introspections and cultivating meaningful and healthy relationships.

There's no secret sauce out there, no shortcut, if there was we all would've known it already after thousands of years of books, movies and phylosophical essays, reality is simple, but I guess hard work and discipline isn't as sexy and appealing like snake oil.

Yes, so simple. Let DoorDash not deliver to minority neighborhoods for a few weeks, and observe the simplicity.
I may also be too; like I said, I haven't used Warp yet. Just read their docs. "Workflows" are described in their docs as effectively 'aliases with better docs that integrate with a search bar', and are defined in a YAML file. They don't actually show said YAML file, so I don't know how complex they are. If they give you the full power of the underlying shell, then yeah, you're back at the exact same problem, but if it's stuff like "invoke this program with this set of arguments," which is what their examples seem like, then I'd expect it to work with any shell as long as that program is installed.

> Perhaps my interpretation was wrong.

And perhaps mine is. The docs aren't in-depth and I don't own a Mac. But really, ultimately, "are workflows more portable" isn't a question I personally am wed to; it's that "shell scripts are only portable via UNIXes and there's a much bigger world out there" that I am, and I am hoping that workflows are more portable than shell scripts. In practice, they may be, or they may not be, but since they're in a layer above the shell, it's possible that they're not shell-specific.
Thanks for sharing your experience! I guess my problem was to remember all the shortcuts and keybindings and how to do things, and having to look them up all the time was tiresome - but I guess the steep learning curve has some fruits in the end

In most fables, it's possible to track down arcane rituals in full detail if you have the patience of a lifetime.

From this perspective, discoverability isn't sufficient to claim that something isn't magical. What's magical is that it's sufficiently complicated and reliant on other sufficiently complicated things that -- in practice -- no one utilizing it will bother digging that deep.

These things are only knowable in the hypothetical. In practice, they're arcane incantations with rigid, arbitrary constraints that must be respected for the system to function as you'd like.
There's a reason so many successful startups launched with some form of rails stack. Less time making decisions means more time to build customer value prop/interactions.

An MVP for a web sass should be "core UI/UX value prop" for the main selling point (s) and what I call "marketing brutalism" for the rest.

With the most boring and reduced use cases you can convince everyone else involved to agree to.
For someone who is at the "UCLA Center for Critical Internet Inquiry", there is a startling lack of desire to provide details to the allegations. In all the tweets and associated articles, just the claim is being made, along with statements like "I literally have a PhD I know what I'm talking about", and "this consistent disbelief by other ppl/workers/researchers is imo our biggest obstacle. not only do ppl not believe us when we share how we’re treated, they don’t believe that the conditions for that treatment exist in the first place."

That may be because no supporting details are provided...

The argument isn't if it's a good or bad thing. It's just pointing out that hypocrisy is going on. If the basis of your argument is JUST that companies can do whatever they like because they're not the government and don't have to follow free speech rules, then you can't turn around and say that they shouldn't be able to do whatever they like in some other situation.

The point being made isn't that this is okay behavior. The point being made is that people should be honest with why they're against or for something rather than pretending to appeal to some more basic moral/political/civic reason.

(The deeper point is that some on the left and on the right are okay with censorship/deplatforming/refusal of service in specific situations because it was only happening to the people on "the other side". When in reality these are universal negatives and absolutely WILL be applied to your side as well once they become the norm.)

Jeez, HN, get your shit together.
In a democratic society, the power of the executive is defined by law. The President is a powerful individual, but he is not a King.

By law, appointments of certain positions require explicit consent of congress.

The ability of regressive partisan elements to break government is a part of the design of the government. I personally find it repugnant and stupid. I also think that the short sighted nature of wielding this power in such a trivial and hamfisted way will ultimately backfire and result in constitutional changes down the road.
Isn't this a risk with apps in general, not just VC backed ones? I skimmed the blog post and it sounds like they had a hard time monetizing the product. That could happen with a bootstrapped project too: someone builds something cool in their spare time, launches it, gets enough users to spend more time on it for a while, then realizes it's too hard to monetize or they want to work on something else or whatever and shuts the project down.
Can we assume that the unstated purpose of push vs local was the ability to query various notifications without the need to separately upload queries somewhere else?
At some point we will be "replaced". When you get AI to be able to navigate all user interfaces, communicate with other agents, plan long term and execute short term, we will no longer be the main drivers of economical growth.

At some point AI will become as powerful as companies.

And then AI will be able to sustain positive feedback loop of creating more powerful company like ecosystems that will create even more powerful ecosystems. This process will be fundamentally limited by available power and the sun can provide a lot of power. Eventually AI will be able to support space economy and then the only limit will be the universe.
Is there any reason you can't just leave current the product as-is and keep running it on autopilot, with the only expenses being hosting and the occasional security vulnerability mitigations?

By definition, the primary energy input and electrical energy output are equal for renewable sources that don't require fuel.

So the point is that transitioning from thermal electricity generation to sources like solar and wind already reduces the primary energy use.

Electrifying traffic further reduces the primary energy use, as 100% of primary energy from gas turn into something like 40% of power which can be used to drive the car forward. An electric engine is a lot more efficient.

This is just math and doesn't yet include efficiency gains through insulation, heat pumps etc.
> it starts from not judging people by their ethnicity or nationality

If you know your history, you'd know that 9/11 triggered NATO's Article 5. It's the only time it was activated so far.

NATO kept us out of nuclear war for 70 years. It kept Soviet tanks from overrunning western Europe. It enabled stable democracies to gain a foothold safely in western Europe.

NATO is literally the only thing that stands between democratic states, which are the minority in the world (the North Atlantic region + some small states in Asia) and totalitarian regimes.

Mysteriously, a non-NATO nation is currently having a genocidal war waged on them. While NATO nations are free and safe. NATO is keeping the Free World safe.

If you hate freedom and representative government, if you find debates "too messy" and like easy-answer dictatorships, you should be anti-NATO.
Ask HN: Favorite Dataset Search Engine?
Do you have a goto search engine for finding interesting datasets to play with or for benchmarks?

Since I'm mostly interested in it for benchmarking I'm looking for a search engine that lets me search by number of columns and number of rows and sparsity.

Whether or not your favorite engine supports those search criteria I'm still curious to hear what you like.
I remember when that happened with the ebooks. One day you could buy ebooks in multiple formats, including PDF, or ebook + paper book for about 25% more, usually. Then we woke up one morning and the only digital format was Kindle and you could no longer buy direct from O'Reilly in any format.

I still think their books are among the best edited and informative on the market but their business practices are getting less and less appetizing.
I think you've totally missed the point. Nobody buys these games for anything but the challenge of the boss fights. If you find that repetitive the game just isn't for you.

What makes tetris or animal crossing any less repetitive? Nothing, and yet they're fun games people can sink hundreds of hours into.
> NATO expanding east is a legitimate concern to Russia

A supposed commitment of NATO not to expand eastward wasn't a concern when they were demanding to be immediately admitted without having to meet readiness milestones like other states in Eastern Europe under President (checks) Putin.
>What the hell, how am I supposed to reply to this?

Ok, I'll try one last time to explain.

Neuroscientists generally divide the brain into 3 crude regions based on function and evolutionary development.

Region 1: the primitive "reptilian". This handles things like breathing and fight-or-flight response.

Region 2: the limbic system, "old mammalian", or "unconscious" system. This concerns things like social emotions and how you can intuit someone's intentions based on things like body language, tone of voice, etc.

Region 3: the neocortex or "new mammalian" system. This handles the rational processing of things like mathematics and logic.

Usually when people are talking about the "brain" they mean region 3, but they all work in concert with each other. My point of "they" is that there isn't a single monolith; there are times when the systems are incongruent.

So the rational brain may say "it's just a dinner party". To the rational brain there's no good reason to not go. But there's all kinds of reasons why Regions 1/2 may be screaming "don't go! It's dangerous!" It may not be rational, but those systems don't operate rationally. For example, one theory about the very common fear of public speaking is that it causes our limbic system to freak out because, from an evolutionary point of view, if you were speaking alone, in front of your tribe, it may be because you were at risk of being cast out. To a paleolithic human, that is a life-or-death risk. Unfortunately, that same functionality carries over to our current Region 2, and it doesn't know that it's just a powerpoint presentation without the same consequence.

So what does all that have to do with your point? When the different systems don't align, it causes wonky, irrational behavior, like indecisiveness. Like showing up late. You seem to be saying "Region 3, the rational brain, has made a conscious decision to be late. That's a bad choice." I agree, except it may not be the result of a conscious choice. It's possible their neocortex knows it's not fear while their limbic system does not. Research shows many of the choices we think are rational are actually rooted in our limbic system, which makes the reasonable choice more difficult for many people than you seem to assume.

We aren't in disagreement and it's interesting to me how you keep framing it as if we are. I agree being late isn't a good reason, as I've said previously. All I'm saying is that your advice to "just ignore it" requires a decent amount of introspection because of the way we're wired. Maybe you keep thinking we're in disagreement because it's on a forum and not face-to-face where your limbic system would be able to take in all the extra non-verbal/non-text information :-)
