They are thinking critically that the 25% of Twitter accounts are posting 97% of the tweets on the platform and the top Twitter accounts with the highest followers don’t even post frequently either and are highly likely to be followed by bot accounts. [0]

And the majority of users visiting the platform just lurk there rather than post content themselves on the platform.

So yes, the extended evidence in [0] satisfies the claim that the blue bird site is ‘dying’ and it is overrun by a small minority. Hence why they are forcing login walls everywhere.

I'm really confused on what you are trying to say. Are you stating that you think parking should be cheaper and allotted for longer periods of time? For example say $5 gets you one hour?

I honestly don't know what you're trying to insinuate outside that you own a car...

You're saying you wish you could park in front of the stores with street parking to do shopping, but lament that there's never spots available so you don't. I don't understand what you're trying to propose here.
Debian has a #debian-til chat channel where people post things they learned today. Often there will be things that someone learned that senior folks will say they didn't know. Sometimes people say that they re-learned some basic thing they forgot too :)
If you are new to the Haxe or game development world I would advise against Heaps as the documentation is pretty bare bones. Haxeflixel [0] is one that is prominently recommended for good reason. Heaps is still great regardless and I have used it for a few private projects.

Stop.

Employees can strike. Taft-Hartley illegalizes wildcat or secondary striking.

I still disagree with it because I don't think the Network Effect pruning was equal between Capital and Labor, but Strikes can absolutely be organized by private employees/unions.

Public sector unions are a different beast as far as I'm aware. See the Air Traffic Controller strike and how that flopped. But you've had some teacher's Union successes recently too.
The easiest option is to use Reader Mode in Firefox or other browsers which support this. Reader Mode should allow you to tailor style to suit your preferences. If not, in Firefox, you can also apply a userContent.css to the Reader Mode format.

There are several extensions which may be able to help.

Dark Reader is one of these. It's principally intended to apply dark modes to websites, but can also apply high contrast if that's your preference.

The Stylus CSS manager can be used to individually tweak websites, and I actually use it for just this, with fixing greyed-out text being a principle use. I've also created a few generic stylesheets to fix standard gripes, including font/text idiocy. This presumes CSS knowledge, though it's also a great way to develop a working proficiency.

There are browsers which specifically address text/contrast issues, with EInkBro being one such that's aimed at e-ink based tablets. It has two settings, "white background" and "bold font" which can be toggled on for a given website, as well as its own reader mode. It's available for Android. There are some quirks and issues which make browsing and navigating inconvenient, but once you've found an article you want to read, it's excellent.

The other feature it has is a "save to ePub" feature (as well as save to PDF), which allows you to save an article to either a freestanding or compiliation (multi-article) ePub. That's quite useful, you can tune display / text preferences in your ePub reader of choiice, and I'm rapidly becoming a fan. See:

How bout smaller still… like maybe author starts with using ai to organizing their monthly budget, or whatever.
There will of course never be a Dyson Sphere, or anything even vaguely reminiscent of it.

Instead, long before anything of such a scale would be conceivable, we will have hydrogen-boron fusion for unlimited energy, and moved industrial operations out to the Kuiper Belt, where the truly valuable commodity -- cold -- is abundant.

Suns and planets are for extreme rock-banging primitives.

It's closer to whataboutism than a valid criticism. In this particular case doesn't address at all whether AI generated content should be downranked in search results (probably should since it is mostly low quality clickbait, the same way human generated listicle trash is also low quality clickbait).

The fact that Google uses AI is irrelevant.
Ambitions are free. Capability is expensive. Achievements are valuable. Ambitions do not predict achievement.
I agree. Also, most companies need a lot fewer middle managers than they have. I picked a "management" path because promotions are easier. But I still do technical work - I write code, review code, create and review tech documents.

Successive teams I have managed liked it that their manager is "one of them". We dont have boring team meetings. All are technical except select 1-1s which are career conversations
Show HN: New course on practical deep learning
net/textproto has readers and writers that deal with crlf, and status codes, and dot encoding even.
amazing at consolidating my code into something more readable

Readable if you're already familiar with einsum notation. Otherwise there's learning curve. An alternative to einsum is using multiple dot product and reshape ops, hopefully with each one having a comment - this would be a lot more readable imo.
off topic, but what makes zellij faster than tmux? Are there any benchmarks (I am unable to find any on their site or github page) or is it just because it is written in rust that it is assumed to be fast?

Our upcoming course is Data-Centric Deep Learning. We will cover some practical data-focused techniques to deploy and maintain deep learning systems. This includes using repeatable pipelines to build models and evaluate performance in targeted ways. It also covers leveraging model predictions to improve data quality, annotations, and monitor model performance.

We assume a basic understanding of Ml modeling/debugging techniques, and a basic understanding of MLOps principles. The co:rise learning format is 4 weeks of project-driven learning with a peer cohort of motivated, interesting learners. It takes about 10 hours total per week including interactive discussion time and project work.

I think they would have seen this coming, they just couldn't do anything about it.

The rise of social media has moved most human generated content onto a few platforms, most of whom don't let Google index them (facebook being the main one).

They probably need to figure out how to pull information out of youtube (which there seem to be some initial efforts at).

However they might already be in trouble there, as TikTok is growing a huge archive of 20 second answers to common queries.
In the ISP's defense, 99% of the time an SMTP sender in their residential address space is going to be a compromised device sending spam. It's pretty understandable that they would just decide that pissing off the relatively very few customers who want to run their own mail servers is a cost they are willing to accept.
I like how he notice the trend anecdotally and then attribute it to stress without any investigation. LOL...

As a "startup", we were in business for a decade

Then yours is not a company I would be concerned with. < 5 years and the leadership may still be looking for their lucrative exit. At 10 years I'm convinced that an easy exit isn't the short term goal and the business is somewhere near self-sustaining. I could be wrong, but there's always risk. Recently (well, 3 years ago) my workplace went best bread for a specific need and the vendor was about 6 years old. But in that time they'd grown so much by having an truly fantastic product that I was convinced that even if they were acquired, it would be for the acquiring company to adopt a truly superior product rather than convert customers to their own mediocre offering. Which turned out to be correct: they were acquired, but by a private capital group looking to pump $$$ into them to facilitate more growth & either flip/ipo them. Though to be fair, feature growth had slowed too, but it's also a mature product now so to much growth there would be bloat. Either way, it's an example of a relatively young & small vendor that had the characteristics needed to make me comfortable in their selection.
The example given is a single negative interaction in a slack community, which does not seem to support a rule that 33% of people want to see your idea fail.

I have trouble parsing your sentence, but i am pretty sure the answer is no, that does not help.
Pretty natural. A lot of games already have to think about economics (e.g. wow). Now with crypto you can have an in game economy that can extended beyond your game making your users real money and incentivizing adoption.

Weirdly, the linked page doesn't have a link to the Byte Magazine issues that discussed Visi On.

"A Guided Tour of Visi On"
https://archive.org/details/byte-magazine-1983-06/page/n255/...

"Visi On's Interface Design" https://archive.org/details/byte-magazine-1983-07/page/n165/...

and an early example of third party tutorial

"Introducing Visi On : the system, its concepts and applications" https://archive.org/details/introducingvisio0000tros/mode/2u...

I wonder how hard it would be to port the Visi Machine to a modern platform?
You are correct, lines of code is nothing to do with the difficlty of the problem. I spent close to three weeks writing 12 lines of Python. Two of which consisted of print statements. A "clean-up" pass removed three more lines. I consider that to be some of the hardest code I've written in recent memory.

If I was asked to invert a binary tree on a whiteboard I would stumble too. Inverting a binary tree, I can walk through the algorithm, or I can bang out the code. And yes, it's three lines of code, but I had to look up what "invert a binary tree" means. Put a pen in my hand and I'd freeze up. It is trivial to solve through either recursion or iteration. I understand how to, but if I was asked to solve it in an interview, I'd definitely question why. I cannot think of a single instance whereby I'd want to legitimately flip a free left to right in its entirety. I can think of dozens of esoteric tree operations that I would need, and have used, but inverting/flipping left-to-right completely is not one of them.

I consider the person in that tweet far smarter than me.

How does this equate to a platform dying? I don't understand Elon's marketing analysis. I think Twitter's power is that you follow hundreds or thousands of people, some who may rarely tweet, some who tweet more often, yet your feed remains fresh and updated.
Three years ago I wrote a php code to sum the total number of bought items and by mistake I forgot to add userid column so whenever someone added items it got save in the database but do not show in the user order section. I lost almost INR 30,000 of sales that week.
The feeling is understandable and it could be worrying, but since some years Nicolas seems to be focusing on Shiro games and game dev tooling (heaps, hide). The compiler is developed by the Haxe Foundation and the ecosystem by the community which is not that big but has quite a few talents.

Certainly they divided up your salary among them until they can find a suitable replacement.

If they only divided up the work I don't see a good reason to feel pressured.
Great question, I was wondering how if anyone would be interested to ask!

tl;dr: Basically, it's a way to say "do this operation inside this folder".

For example, if you do

cp -r A B

an A is a directory, the behavior is different depending on whether B already exists or not. If B is a file, you get an error. If B is a directory, then it tries to make a copy of A inside B (i.e. B/A). If B doesn't exist, B itself becomes a copy of A.

This is pretty terrible behavior. The question is how do you avoid this. On Linux, if you always want A to be overlaid on top of B, then you can do

cp -T A B

which disambiguates in favor of overlay. On the other hand, if you always want A to be copied inside B, then you can do

cp A B/.

which disambiguates in favor of creating a subdirectory (and gives you an error if B doesn't exist).

Note: I have not checked whether this behavior is uniform across other POSIX systems, but I hope it is.
Crypto allows you to easily print in game assets and sell then for cash equivalent tokens
Yeah I think lots of cities in the USA will eventually figure this out. Even if parking is limited people will find a way to get to these businesses.
I picked up books in a tiny outdoor book-box nearby. And reading some did massage my view of the world; these weren't Marcus Aurelius kind of books, simple novels about average people, but it made me experience personalities and situations I wouldn't otherwise.
Crypto scam artists are always trying to stick their greedy fingers into everything, of course crypto is trying to invade video games too.
As a longtime Haxe gamedev:

- Heaps is powerful and used by two of biggest and most successful Haxe gamedev companies (Shiro Games, Motion Twin, and I guess the Dead Cells spinoff company is a third now)

- HaxeFlixel is friendly and well-documented and used by some smaller but still successful gamedev companies, and is much more popular in the indie and game jam scene (also HaxeFlixel is 2D-only, Heaps is 2D and 3D)

- There's other noteworthy engines, Kha for instance. Also proletariat (Spellbreak) uses an Unreal engine integration with Haxe.

To be fair, developers everywhere are probably more productive with JIRA unavailable.
I'm thinking he's talking about running out of phosphate [0]. Phosphate is a critical plant nutrient and mining it has been essential in increasing yields in the last century - it's literally sustained the population growth. The known supplies are running low, and it washes out of the soil on an annual basis so needs to be replenished to keep up yields — or we need to find other sustainable sources. The 50 years correlates with other (very) rough estimates of remaining supplies available to use for the current agricultural paradigm.

Ask HN: What creative field will be safe from AI?
I am a visual artist and Dall-E 2 has made me realize that my skills will soon be almost worthless.

My role, if it continues to exist, will consist of prompting the software and selecting among its outputs. This is unsatisfying work that I cannot take pride in. My artistic skills, my craft, has been automated.

Quoting Wikipedia: On 19 November 2019, Go master Lee Sedol announced his retirement from professional play, stating that he could never be the top overall player of Go due to the increasing dominance of AI. Lee referred to them as being "an entity that cannot be defeated".

I am young enough to switch tracks and focus on a new creative field.

You may get a tty with no getty/shell running, you may get a getty login prompt (which was probably this case, as the author proceeds to login as root with an empty password), you may get a custom CLI that only allows you to set some device parameters but no arbitrary command execution.

I wouldn't say safe, but safEST is probably writing. Like creative writing where the narrative is something that spans hundreds or even thousands of pages with plot interactions that aren't directly apparent in the text itself.

At least until a true AI/HCI is created.

Most "AI" things are pretty superficial pattern recognition that are just better at unbiased processing of large "shallow" datasets.

Too bad Team Fortress 2 was before the era of Crypto, they could have made tons of money selling hats or something.
On the contrary, Putin has been pretty clear in expounding his warnings to the West, and expounding Russia's wants and needs for fifteen years or more.

There was a famous speech in Munich in 2007, which was ignored by the West, as were all of those further communications up to and including the draft Security Treaty in November of last year.

Several times over the years, he has even said during his speeches "Are you listening to us now?". Of course the West never bothered to listen at all.

The West can't complain that Putin hasn't been keeping them 'in the loop'. But then the West has always suffered from NIH Syndrome.
...Which should be zero. That's why we need to convince Elon Musk to halt colonization efforts and focus on Exploration. Once the exploration phase is done, then we head into terraforming - if we know the planet has nothing of extreme value like some thriving organism in the planet that's gone undetected.
During one of the recent declassifications, '05? '15?, reputable national US news networks said the new documents proved the US knew Japan was attempting to surrender before the bomb was dropped.

It's actually a decent comparison, because a large percentage of the cost/benefit is building the road/union, and comparatively little is the maintenance. But the tolls/dues remain the same across.
Yeah it's just a clunky phrase. Saying "many" or "more than a few" is much clearer and easier to parse. "No few" is like ok do you mean one to none or many?
There should be no life-long duration stays on Mars or future humans born on mars until the exploration and terraforming phase is done. Legally, morally, and ethically it's the only way to colonize Mars.

Sometimes it's hard to think of the right tests, especially when you're solving a mathematical model that hasn't been solved before.

Even for things that are intuitive and have been implemented thousands of times before, like web logins and shopping carts, where the tests one should do are not hard to think of... even so, software engineers rarely develop tests that catch all possible bugs on the first try.
