"...We present a study of crash-consistency bugs in persistent-memory (PM) file systems and analyze their implications for file-system design and testing crash consistency. We develop FlyTrap, a framework to test PM file systems for crash-consistency bugs. FlyTrap discovered 18 new bugs across four PM file systems; the bugs have been confirmed by developers and many have been already fixed. The discovered bugs have serious consequences such as breaking the atomicity of rename or making the file system unmountable. We present a detailed study of the bugs we found and discuss some important lessons from these observations..."

Don't extrapolate your own experience to everything else. I've seen quite opposite.
In some sense yes.

The two also can go together like peanut butter and jelly.

When I was in grad school my thesis contained a derivation of the Gutzwiller trace formula

https://inspirehep.net/files/20b84db59eace6a7f90fc38516f530e...

integrating over phase space instead of position space (that paper does it over position space.)

It was about 40 pages worth of math and while I wrote the math I also wrote each equation in a computer program that would try different inputs and check that the equality held. This didn't "prove" anything, but it convinced me that I had the math right. When you do a calculation like that you might have 50+ places where there might be or might not be a minus sign and if you make any mistakes you might as well flip the coin to get the sign. I could have done the calculation without writing the program but I would have either gotten the wrong answer (not so likely in this case because I knew what the answer was) or gotten the right answer in the wrong way.

I used Microsoft Office for years. Leaving aside collaborative editing which has been a game-changer for me (and, of course, you can get from Microsoft as well now), Google products do everything* I need and most of the features in Office just get in the way.

*I'm not a power-spreadsheet user these days and every now and then I run into some very specific thing I can do in Word that I can't do in Docs--or it's easier to use word for compatibility with someone else--but for the most part I much prefer using Google day-to-day.
Y’all just got nerd sniped.
There were articles about the story published by many mainstream news organizations before the election -- including the Washington Post, The New York Times, Politico, Vox, Techcrunch, CNN, CBS News, and USA Today, among others. I fail to see the "supression" of the story from the public discussion, based on the reality of the situation.

Edit: The point is that the story was part of the "public discussion" -- though I understand that some people disagree with some of the articles that were part of the public discussion. Disagreement is a normal part of "discussion." The original claim I was responding to was that this story was "suppressed" from "public discussion." It was not.
Sharing a vastly smaller fraction of things is completely reasonable. Currently systems are optimized by social media companies to maximize engagement not utility.

Unfortunately, the only way that’s likely to change is a new company or nonprofit that decides not to sell out to Facebook or Advertising.
Broadly, there are two kinds of error: false positives and false negatives. A false positive arises because reality conspired to produce what you consider to be an anomalous result. False negatives arise because your detector wasn't sensitive enough to notice the anomalous result.

The standard statistical practice is to fix your risk of false positives through the preemptive choice of a p-value threshold and then to attempt to minimize your risk of false negatives through increases in the "power" of your experiment. But, honestly, these two are in tension with one another. There are lots of possible choices.

It's important to know the difference, though. It changes how you interpret results. A positive result might be doubted because you, as a reader, would have preferred more protection against false positives, and, thusly, a smaller p-value threshold. A negative result might be doubted because you believe that the experimenter under-powered their experiment. You might also, in a repeating experimental process, wish to obtain greater power by sacrificing false-positive protection. This is as easy as changing the p-value threshold.

A last perspective is that in the typical scientific practice, you basically control false-positives through pushing the p-value down and making the experiment more challenging (reducing power). Then, you re-establish power through more expensive experiments (use better tools, run the experiment for longer, improve controls, improve data efficiency). Often the "typical" p-value is set by the community in relation to what level of false-positive the overall community is willing to tolerate in publication. That's why psychologists are happy with a 5% threshold whereas physicists might seek a threshold of 10^-3 or smaller. The physicists are upholding themselves to a much more expensive experimental standard and would vastly prefer false negatives.

Mixed reviews. The Gates Foundation pushed an initiative to grade teachers based on student test scores, essentially. That only made problems in the education sector worse. Ask any teacher and they'll tell you what the problems are, and untalented teachers is pretty far down the list.

Google's stuff is barely hastily patched together, hard to reason through crap.

It works, don't get me wrong. But I'm helping a family member start a business on the tech front, and most of their offerings are opaque to her. Built by tech people to be used by tech people, without the benefit of good, solid, onramp documentation, tooling, and user hostile offering design.

Example: don't even try to admin Drive with anything less than business Standard, despite the fact centralized file handling is most useful to those with lower data quotas.

The sharing is a mess. And I was horrified that most searches for Google drive administration were either docs that tried to sell you on drive, or internet public drives of individual users who just left stuff out there with personal information in it waiting to get reaped.

At this point, it really frightens me what Google is trying to normalize in computing.
Not selling the stock of his own companies makes him "a very savy investor"?
Well my solution is to use an editor that is free, open source, and is not burdened by a license that cares not what information I store in it's memory nor how many other people I organize with.
> Moving the goalpost. Nobody claimed private companies should ignore government sources.

You asked about “the government tell[ing] private platforms what speech is acceptable.” That would be a First Amendment violation.

You saw the parent's linked article about the White House flagging posts for Facebook, right? Are you trying to make the argument that it's OK if the government "suggests" what Facebook/Twitter should do with posts on their platform, but they're only crossing the line if they _make_ Facebook/Twitter flag certain posts? I think it's a distinction without difference. The usual scenario I give people in this situation is, how would your view on this change if Trump "suggested" how Facebook could flag certain posts and then Facebook followed through with it. No demands, just "suggestions." Still OK with this relationship between the government and a private company?

>such things as "You have political opinions we dislike"

If I wrote the rules, anytime someone used the phrase "political opinions you dislike" there would be a popup list for the following before you can submit your comment:

* violent incitement

* Al Qaeda and ISIS

* state sponsored misinformation campaigns run by automated bots

* coordinated messages from automated bots for marketing & brand management

* harassment

* doxxing

* defamation

* revenge porn & child porn

* vaccine misinformation

* election misinformation

* spam and phishing attacks

And next to each you can click a checkbox to indicate which ones you personally endorse being defended as protected speech, which you believe to be implicated. Then people can mouse over the part of your comment that says "political opinions", see the list of things you clicked on, and know what you are talking about.

This way we don't have to worry that you're equivocating between garden variety political topics (e.g. the economy, taxes) and all the other stuff when you say "political opinions you dislike."
By this logic, it seems like you're asking Twitter to adopt your view. Screw mine and anyone else's and derank discussion that you don't agree with.
> “everybody should be forced to platform every idea”

Not everybody should have to, but the behemoths that are the only thing that resembles a public square today, e.g., Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Reddit, should have to.
That’s exactly right. I’ve posted here many times discussing what it was like to grow up under apartheid in South Africa. Elon grew up under that regime too. He’s the same age as me. He went to Pretoria boys high school. I went to Paarl boys high school. Similar tracks. Both highly conservative, pro apartheid and a clear demonstration of how limiting free speech enables awful regimes like the apartheid government. This is one of the strongest reasons he is a free speech absolutist.

It’s incredible how many smart people in the freest country in the world are asking to have their freedoms removed without considering who may inherit those rights.
No disagreement on having message boards and instant messaging or search engines, I am saying that they are an actual step backwards when it comes to making lay people productive when using the web.

Not everyone is a HN alum ready to write a boolean query to find the most relevant post on a forum.
I was just thinking, what could be the problem in Elon Musk's thread. It shows just one comment. I didn't say there is a dynamic viewport optimization.

The issue is not in DOM structure.

I'm creator of "arguman.org", maybe you've heard about it (it's down now). I had the same issues there as well.

I'm also happy with HN's plain html interface.

Also, how would you render a page with 800 nodes with user content, it is still a question. I would like to hear and learn.

Btw, yes, Bulletin board style forums is a strait forward solution, there's always some ways to do that, but there's also ways to do it like in Twitter's way. That's the point I was talking about.
You’re half correct.

A culture of free speech is just as important as a law prohibiting Congress from abridging it. It is true that private companies have their own free speech and private property interests they should safeguard, but that does not mean they cannot do more to raise a culture of free speech on their platforms, and they should!
> Why not provide each individual users with powerful tools that let them specify the type of content they want to see and when

Tools like adblock/ublock/etc dramatically improve user experience and performance on the internet, yet less than 30% of desktop users employ adblocking. Requiring end-users to set up filters to not be accosted by content that most people find objectionable will generally not be a winning proposition.
It does. Most people get enraged about RPI cameras unnecessarily. If you don't want to buy cameras from the RPI foundation and want to use/design/connect your own, nobody is stopping you. If you want raw sensor data off the RPI cameras, nobody is stopping you either. It's only when you want to use their image processing with a clone camera that you run into problems.

I just can't get worked up about this, I think this is completely fair.
proud of you
You're gonna get replies basically saying "but free speech is about protection from the government not corporations". This is the stock answer, even though corporations in America are generally considered to be equally if not more powerful than the government (for good reason).
Is it really an insult, though? Just look at this big burly lady. Look at her handsome face! https://aaron-m.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/img_8017.jpg

I took this shot with my big birding lens, six feet or so from this nest that was under the eave of my side porch. It would have been both rude and dangerous to approach with my macro rig - she's guarding the nest and checking me out, too! Any nest will be actively patrolled against intruders large and small, but the intensity of concern scales roughly with the size of brood and colony, and this was a young nest with probably only one comb - I didn't know it was there until after I'd been much closer to it than this, but they weren't bothered at all, despite that I earned their attention again when I started taking an interest. Not long after this shot, the local raccoons found the same nest and left nothing of it but a few scraps of carton, but it was early enough in the season that they could have escaped and rebuilt elsewhere without losing too much brood - it's not all that easy for a human to tell, but from their looks I'm pretty sure this was the same family that came back later in the year for the figs. I hope so! There were lots of foragers in that tree, so if they were from the same colony then they not only survived but thrived.
Ukraine is currently under martial law and has significant restrictions on speech; it's (justifiably) illegal, for example, to report on troop positions. Starlink isn't changing that; it just provides internet access, filtered through a local ground station subject to any local laws and filtering that are applicable. China has internet access, but not free speech. Same for Russia.
The advantage of dealing with small businesses in tech is that they are not huge cold monsters.

You can find a lot of information there, but "why should I care" is something only you can answer, as many people have no reason to care about this - ultimately it's just a little internet game.
I’m assuming because they offer open ISP services inside jurisdictions where the government censors the Internet.
Exactly, I know the advice to boost your resume often tells you to write a blogpost or do a talk, but I would also say that you should do this if you have something interesting to say. Until that happens you're probably better off improving your technical skills.

Which is pretty much exactly the point I was making in my original contribution to this thread.

Yes to the degrees of separation. That's the point of following people—to be exposed to their curation. I followed many people because they were friends of friends; I've unfollowed many people because I wasn't impressed with the people they interacted with, even if I had no problem with them.

I suspect his shares are now "locked" whilst the offer is considered; perhaps he can acquire more but I suspect he cannot sell, as it would be an obvious deception.

He would have to announce the withdrawal of the offer and then I assume he can begin selling.

Not just that, but the claim that GPUs don’t mask memory latency by switching to other work is patently false as well. That’s exactly how GPUs do it. Memory bandwidth is a huge issue on GPUs and to maximize throughput, they absolutely do context switches to other work.
If you’re passing a pointer to safe Rust code, with the capability bound encoded into something “native” to the language, then you don’t need hardware capabilities at all.
Do you think pre-Internet mass media — one-way communication from corporation to consumer — does not propagate groupthink and shared narratives?

We live in a society, so of course popular things will have nth-order effects on everyone’s lives. TikTok, Facebook, Fox News, the New York Times, Disney, Nintendo, Steam, Itch, Bandcamp, your friend’s podcast. It’s extremely unclear to me why Twitter should be singled out here.
We are seeing the same. Any alternative hosting providers with comparable features that you prefer with better uptime?
Also Betadine Cold Defence, which contains iota carrageenan. But even though it's made in the U.S., the only way to get it is from Canada. (Which is an entirely different product than the Betadine nasal spray that's available in the U.S., which the media has been making fun of people for using.)
But would this still extend to 'free reach'? ie. if I go on Twitter, and say horrible things, then everyone blocks me, is my free speech being impeded because Twitter allows these people to block me? What about the algorithm, if Instagram's stories feature tries to show new videos based on people's interests, can I sue them for not showing my videos to other people?
Given the reports of how freaked out employees were on the possibility of Musk on the board, they must be fleeing in droves now that he'd own the company.
Our lenses are probably influenced heavily by what kind of software we work on (which I admittedly didn't dive into at all on the article).

I work primarily on B2C software, whereas it sounds like you probably work on the B2B software. It seems like consumers tend to mostly accept the platforms as they are whereas businesses feel (perhaps rightfully) entitled to ask for changes in the software they use.

Each have pros and cons, but the marginal cost of B2C software does seem a lot lower than B2B due to the expectations in service.
I’d thought the majority of spread was from intra and inter household contact. i.e. family member spreads to family members, who visit friends, who spread to their family, etc.

Not in its current iteration, which relies on ground stations in or near those countries. You're not gonna get Starlink service in China or Iran, even if you can get a dish.
He had that whole fake solar shingle scam presentation thing to bail out his own cousins and self.
It may be good idea hundred years back where (only?) government was being all powerful in a person's life . So if government denied people speech they are roughly blocked from everywhere.

Now with huge dependency on cloud/ social platform to conduct daily life they are pretty much government. SO getting blocked from them has much larger impact then it would be 50-100 years back.

Spending time or getting blocked on HN is not as materially impacting as it would be on big cloud services. So it does not compare well.
Thanks for the suggested reading! I'll definitely check these out.
Suing and paying fines as a means of preventing abuse of free speech isn't working. Very rich individuals can pay fines without blinking, but the really pernicious one is the lawsuits - a large legal team can make it hell for any smaller actor, can delay and run the case down, can settle privately and completely bury the issue, etc.

I'd rather see us fix our enforcement mechanisms to work better before trying to take off the filters on dangerous and violent free speech.
Nobody is upset that Twitter is moderating porn. (And in fact it allows porn!) People are upset that Twitter censored what turned out to be a true story about the son of the now President, or that you can be blocked or banned for running afoul of rules of decorum embraced by a small minority of the population. If Twitter banned porn and not those other things, people wouldn't be complaining!
I created a small ad campaign to advertise a side project. The projects makes no money, has no plan for monetization, does not use passwords. The only personal data it collects is an email address.

I bought $50 worth of ads using my credit card. My account was immediately suspended for suspicious payment. I appealed, noting the card was mine, and I bought the ads. The appeal was rejected.

I have occasionally tried to resubmit the appeal, but it says "please wait 3-5 business days before submitting a new appeal." I wait more than that and get the same message.

I've called Google to try to talk to them. However, once it asks for my contact information, it tells me that they cannot talk to me because my account is suspended. It's a circular nightmare.

I currently do not needs ads so it's not a hardship. But it is extremely frustrating.

EDIT: One irony is that it is the same card I use to pay for my other Google services, linked through the same payment backend. They have no issue charging that card for my other services. But for Ads, it's suspicious. Who knows.
>All I ever wanted was my own Gmail domain.

Who owns the domain here? I use a custom domain with Gmail Workspaces, but I own the domain, and therefore control the MX records. The only thing I'd lose in a switch is stored email messages, but there are ways to download those.
I'm teaching my partner to drive and I've noticed that Google Maps will suggest very different routes to the same destination. It's also less accurate in estimating times, adding 5-10 minutes for its indirect routes versus taking straight paths.

Another thing I've noticed is that some directions will use businesses ("take a left after McDonald's") as landmarks in navigation. I'm beginning to believe the routing noise was introduced to allow navigational ads.

If the effectiveness of a core product is being compromised for monetization, is this what's also happening to their Search?
> So if we have lot of different options to access information and your views are still unwelcome in all but the most extreme places, then I think it reflects quite poorly on your views.

And then those "most extreme places" (Parler, Truth Social) invariably fail because of the "worst people problem".

Thank you for your feedback, noted in the To-Do list, to develop a native app for every device. About subscription, I'm not so sure as it helps developers to keep working and improving the project, for example, if we opt for a lifetime purchase, users who purchase this kind of offer would be needed to keep using the app to recover the value they paid.

We plan to use iCloud Drive from start, and we plan to add more possibilities to sync data in the upcoming versions.
