> We’re probably really underestimating the impact of these differences on the way we view the world around us

I don't think we're really underestimating it that badly. If you participate in the discourse around these platforms you'll find a discussion that very much understands and centers the mechanism over the outcome. You'll find researchers replicating what their subjects see on TikTok, or lamenting the tendency of the YouTube algorithm to lead people down the alt-right pipeline.

When you see people complaining about specific content. It's either a surface level analysis, or rooted in wanting to puncture the pipeline. I think It's pretty clear that interested experts are very much aware of the uniquely multifaceted nature of these mega-brands. Even if the general public is yet to catch up completely.
Is curl unsafe? This is a pretty basic invocation of curl, no fancy flags needed.
Most crimes are left unpunished, even more so corporate crimes, because it's usually very hard to prove there is one, to demonstrate who is guilty, and costly to sue for little gain.

In fact for corporate crimes, it's even worse, because there is little skin in the game: rare jail time and fines that are only a subset of the money earned by committing the crime, when there is any.

Make it 2 months of jail + 1 one day for each patient data which has been breached for eveyrbody in the chain of command responsible, and you'll wager it will happen a lot less.
Maybe tick tocks search depends on where you live? My searches turned up nothing when I tried, so I didn't see any reason to ever use it again. Localized searches might be good for some things, but it is totally horrible for finding other people interested in less mainstream topics.

This would also explain why people has so wildly different views on the site here.

If you've got a script to generate well formed RSS from plain text it's almost zero extra effort to generate HTML from that same source text. Then you get all sorts of hypermedia features like hyperlinks. This plain text page has a bunch of links and footnotes that are not being well served by the medium.

RSS is fine and dandy but a majority of your audience may not even have a feed reader. Most readers will detect a site's feeds from metadata pointing to feeds. They won't be able to do that with plain text.

Even if you just stick with default user agent styling, a viewport meta tag can make content far more readable. There's no need to do anything more complicated than unstyled HTML with a few meta tags to get a much richer experience than plain text.

Literal plain text is an aesthetic but a readability problem on modern devices. No one is primarily reading on 80 character terminals. Unless your plain text has hard line breaks to enforce a column size it's going to break at a browser's viewport boundaries. On wide screen displays you end up with uncomfortably wide column width and on mobiles you'll get odd text sizes because the browser's viewport is virtual pixels that map is varying ways to screen pixels.
You know what, the communication means are better now. Duh.
First, I don't want to train a commercial product so that it can make money with me. How crazy is that?

Secondly, I've been told it takes 20 minutes of browsing and it would train automagically. Well after 30 minutes that I regret spending, it was still showing me the most terrible content humanity has ever produced and my eye were bleeding.

I uninstalled the app and won't touch it again. It feels like being a teen forcing oneself to start smoking cigarets.
I just tried to fetch TDARB.ORG's RSS-feed[0] with RSS Guard[1] app (via development "nowebengine" AppImage build), but for curious reasons it shown empty (even XML-file include some posts data).

UPD: It's working now, after switching RSS-feed "Type" to "RSS 2.0/2.1" (by default RSS Guard set "ATOM 1.0")

Having a desk bike is pretty great (2021)
Gotcha. But FYI I wrote a work farmer years ago and it wasn't difficult. You just manually started a program over there and started the farmer over here and that was all. It could use every machine in the office. These days there may be better solutions than hand-rolling it, never used it but <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_parallel> might work. Also see if beowulf software has anything to make it easier. Good luck!
This has gotta be trolling, but in case not.

Your comments are demonstrably disingenuous. You can't really opt-out. Employers, friends, family, partners, colleagues, peers, etc all rely on you relying on the FAANG/MAAMA networks and network-effect one way or another whether we want to or not. These companies provide what have become public utility services that large parts of society now depends upon.

"Best products"? (this was the troll right? ;) More like "only products", with positions that were achieved in no small part through anti-competitive, anti-consumer behaviours that have run almost unchecked for the better part of two decades.

So what alternative are you talking about? Opting out? That's only an option in the same way that you can theoretically "opt out of society" and go and live in a cave for a year or two before you die of malnutrition/illness/etc.

It's a capitulation to the embedded powers-that-be to imply this theoretical qualifies as practical alternative.
>People are bad at handling their own auto repairs, that's why we have mechanics.

Spam and Blogs = Trouble (2006)
What if during the sign up stage, you actually show the current price of the free plan. But then give a 100% discount for a certain period. Afterwards, you would then reduce the discount X percentage until it's fully transitioned into a paid model.

If it's all transparent, maybe that would make it easier for people to know that it's not free for free sake and plan accordingly.
Cliche HN sentimnents aside, it’s not that simple.

She is right, this crypto has nothing to do with technology, why bother asking a "computer guy"?
Literally no one said they are "incapable of functioning".

What I am saying is that characterizing use of tech as pointless Facebook post is argument base on lie. It is designed to make us feel certain way, it is designed to mock those soldiers, but it is not designed to be true.
the concept of “e-cores” is a rebranding of Atom. The Atom name is extremely tarnished from the days when it was super slow in-order netbook cores but Intel started seriously revamping the design in 2012-2014 with silvermont and airmont. They have been good for several years now - Goldmont (eg J5005) is between core2quad and Nehalem i5 (non-SMT) level performance despite running lower clocks (ie IPC is higher), and there have been 2 subsequent generations since - but they haven’t been able to escape the stigma of the atom branding until now.

Denverton is actually a very interesting platform for the wattage - that’s 16 Goldmont cores in a 32W package (despite being 14nm!) with full RDIMM support and QuickAssist acceleration. And as mentioned there is a new atom-based server platform with newer cores (I think they’re not the Gracemont but actually the next iteration?) coming in the next year or two.

https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/intel/cores/denverton

If you want something with a lower core count now, look for something with a J3405, J5005, or Tremont-based processor. Intel has some NUCs with those chips and there are also itx-form factor motherboards from other companies like Asrock and gigabyte.

Actually a lot of the 2-bay synology NASs come with those chips, I believe it’s the ones ending in J. They have fairly nice video encode/decode support for their price bracket which makes them nice for plex/etc.
Which makes your content unlinkable in a way, since there is no way to link to a news item in an RSS Reader. So you can only ever send links to the version you're not supposed to read. :-)
I'm all for this, but a problem is that it doesn't play at all well
with text based browsers either.

Without wrapping it's just a collection of very long lines that won't
display nicely in something like w3m.

Maybe calling a "web* site is a mistake. Why not proudly announce it

None of that is salient.

Propaganda is an effective drag net. We're all susceptible to some form of it. Outright lying works more effectively than it should.

You're just looking for a morale high ground, no need to pretend otherwise.
My experience with YouTube is different. I get a decent mix of indie filmmaking advice and screenwriting tips, engineering, Russia-Ukraine updates, britcom and infotainment, cute animals. I did not do any special "training", it's all organic (apart from me clicking "do not recommend this channel ever again" from time to time).

I dislike YouTube but not as much as TikTok. One makes you choose what to watch, but the other has no long-form content whatsoever. One of is motivated by greed, but the other is backed by CCP.
It’s also not very intensive, especially since video decode usually runs on the GPU.

(Or it should - browsers are not always very good about this but the tools are there, they just don’t want to pay licensing fees to use them.)

I always cringe a bit when people insist they need 6 cores “so they can have discord and Spotify open while they game”. People don’t generally have a very good intuitive sense of just how little cpu time it takes to run those (a lot of times the “at the desktop” measurements are not even with the processor clocked up, it’s running in the lowest active power state), and there is almost always a little cpu headroom due to non-perfect game scaling. Context switching is cheap, your OS is running thousands of threads at any given time, but people don’t have a good intuitive sense of the overhead of context switching either.

Playing a video and writing a document is something that can be trivially done on a core2duo era processor, or the modern equivalent of a low-end dual-core nuc with e-cores (atom cores) like a J4005. You don’t even need performance cores for that.

The tradeoff Intel is making is that some tasks need performance cores because they can’t really be parallelized all that well, and embarrassingly parallel stuff is more efficient to implement with lots of smaller cores. In principle this is also more power efficient, like big.LITTLE in phones, but Intel actually seems to have fairly poor power scaling - they are space efficient but not all that power efficient. This is also partially due to the fact that the little cores share a core voltage with the big cores - the big cores need higher voltage to clock up and that kills efficiency on the little cores. At that point you may as well clock the little cores up too since they have to share the voltage anyway, and that’s an inefficient way to run them.

As Agner Fog mentions, the AVX-512 is also present in silicon yet disabled, which hugely blows up core size for almost no benefit (it’s dark silicon which does have some minor thermal benefits). Alder Lake is in many ways not that well-designed at a high level, but it is magnificently fast on those performance cores and the e-cores would be very nice if they weren’t conjoined awkwardly to the p-cores. Gracemont-based server and atom chips are going to be nifty when they finally arrive.

Apple is still way ahead with Icestorm though - those cores are absolutely absurdly tiny for the performance they give. They are 0.5mm2 each iirc, even considering the node shrink that is teeny-tiny, they are half as many transistors as a Zen3 core and almost the same performance (meaning much higher IPC) or something along those lines. Firestorm is neat but Icestorm didn’t get nearly the attention and it is really insanely fast for how few transistors it uses.
How much do they pay?
I've heard rumors that on modern processors, "lock free" doesn't even make a ton of sense. It's actually contention that is costly, when there is no contention atomic data structures are virtually free as I understand it.

Don't know if there is data to back that up, though.
That doesn't change the validity of their point. One could respond: "why are you generating html content when it's supposed to be consumed by an RSS reader?".
You can just remove them from your feed permanently. It is a bit annoying, but takes a couple of seconds per video, so isn't a huge amount of time wasted compared to how much time is spent watching the videos.

Whenever I see any video in my feed I don't want to watch I just do that, and since it runs out of things then it has no choice but recommend new and different things.
Whilst i like the sentiment being a massive fan of minimalism i don't understand why Markdown to HTML with an ultra-simple stylesheet would not be a better solution. Trivial to strip Markdown to plain text and easy to convert to HTML, best of both worlds. Let the user choose how they want to consume the content either via RSS, markdown (or plain text) or formatted HTML.
That is indeed how they are marketed. Either as 8+4core or 8p4ecore.

I have only seen the 8+8core referred to as a 16 core machine once. And it was Apple making a comparison to Intel and calling Intel's cpu a 16 core.
The page published to HN is meant to be viewed on a browser, as it is the introduction for the website, explaining its intended use.

Also, I'm sure many RSS readers do not automatically recognise URLs and make them clickable.

Edit: Another point being they're literally calling it a website.
What you're describing is totally different in scale though. When the British pound got displaced as the currency for international trade it didn't suddenly lose 99.9999% of its value in a weekend. And whilst the Dollar isn't guaranteed to be the most popular currency for international trade, it's still going to be the currency a bunch of guys with guns insist Americans pay taxes in. There are real reasons people must hold real currencies. There are no reasons that anyone needs to hold crypto.

I'm not saying crypto has no value, but I'm saying it's not comparable to a modern currency. You might be right that it's similar to some historical examples of weak upstart currencies most of which failed, but even those were backed by a lot more than just... what? In this case we're literally comparing to currencies that are often backed by nothing.

I think you are saying the same thing? Without the API it sounds like a great community service that is kept accurate by its users. But the paid-for (and pricey?) API that profits from this is what gives a bit of a sour taste to the 'community' feeling.
Congrats on the MVP. I got a test of your service up and running very quickly and smoothly. The biggest feature request for me would be simple custom branding to make the user journey look good when connecting from my website. I'm less concerned about the tax situation, I see that as my/the users problem and not yours.
But isn't it important that the person highlighting this APR rate is Paolo Ardoino, who is CTO of Tether and Bitfinex?

And Ardoino didn't even explain what he's trying to say. He's the CTO. What is his point here?

https://twitter.com/paoloardoino/status/1525412379269513218

This "Bitfinexed" Twitter persona has ten years of history of never ever saying anything positive about Tether, but Paolo Ardoino's tweet is not clear or particularly trustworthy either
The findings may hold, but the conclusions? E.g., take the blurb about the Flanker task:

> The task shows how we can’t help but process irrelevant information to a certain degree.

No, it doesn't. Not with the given information. At best, it shows that we don't blank out the area around the target. Is that "irrelevant information"? No. In this particular experiment perhaps, but if that's what the conclusion is based on, then that conclusion is limited to one specific artificial task. And while that is relevant for other research, it is not a general conclusion about our cognitive system.

But basically what most of these experiments show is that the influence of priming/recency on reaction times is real, and it's not surprising: everybody finds it, although there is ample evidence that in some conditions slows down reaction. But that's it. There's no evidence in this list that priming extends to other parts of our behavior. Don't forget that the next time someone tries to draw far-reaching conclusions from e.g. the Implicit Association Test.
I believe practical laptop benchmarks show and to have better real-world efficiency. But I haven't kept up very well.
You list the trifecta of red flags for employers:

* No academic or employment history that communicates significant expertise in software development.

* Scattershot and stale work experience that looks bad. At best it looks like you’re not serious about your career. At worst it looks like you have a problem keeping a job.

* Little or no professional network, probably the most important resource when looking for work.

On top of that applying to hundreds of jobs online is the least efficient way to find a job.

To fix these problems you need to reset.

1. Study modern web development (or whatever you want to do) so you can get through interviews and actually do the work when an opportunity comes your way. You can find plenty of free resources online, you just have to put the effort in. For web development that means, at minimum, knowing HTML, CSS, Javascript, a back-end language like PHP or C#, relational databases such as MySQL or PostgreSQL. You should understand HTTP, SSL, DNS, and cloud services reasonably well. I have done WordPress work for $150/hr, and there’s plenty of that work available.

2. Find a small or medium size company that doesn’t have its own IT/development staff. That includes many companies, you will have to ask around. If I were in your situation I would look for companies in my area that are advertising for developers and contact the hiring manager directly, even going to the office in person. Show some initiative. When someone does take a chance on you bust your ass to solve business problems and deliver value. The best way to learn programming is on the job, but you need to add value, not just treat the job as a training opportunity or stepping stone.

3. Socialize with colleagues and people you know and meet who have jobs and run businesses. Not just other programmers — you can get job leads from people who work in management, marketing, sales, finance, etc. Marketing departments often have good budgets and outsource web work because the IT staff doesn’t have the skill or bandwidth, so cast a wider net for professional contacts.

I have some articles on my site typicalprogrammer.com you might find useful (free, no ads).

Good luck.

My god there are many people in this comment thread who trivialise weight loss, clearly having never done it themselves.

I'm a healthy weight, do heavy workouts 5 days a week and am in very good shape. When I cut my body fat down to ~10%, I go through hell in terms of hunger. There's not a minute I'm not thinking about how hungry I am, and how much I want to eat. I'm completely unable to do productive work, spending a majority of my mental energy restraining myself from getting food.

It's very clear to me, that the only difference between me and someone obese is at what point our brains start telling us that we're hungry.

The only purpose this article serves is to make people who have never struggled with diet feel superior.
This reminds me of the 'transition' to multi-core code started in the "Core" days (or actually AMD's Athlon X2). The switch to multi-core/thread/process (as this all were steps towards such approach) needed to be implemented by all layers (h/w, os, s/w).

We're now getting from symmetrical to heterogeneous computing becoming the mains-stream on all platforms.

Just a few weeks ago there was here the issue with measuring efficiency which is flawed on Apple's Activity Monitor.

As the multi-thread code paradigms thrived, asymmetrical-cores will also become part of the toolchain eventually.
Modern processors use something like https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/MOESI_protocol to share data between processors.

So basically, writing a shared line is expensive. Atomic reads are free, as are atomic writes to a cache line that no one else is using.
Also I heard on a History podcast, but can’t yet find any supporting evidence, that the Soviet Union funded the anti-nuclear power movement in West Germany leading to a dependence on Russian Gas.

Like I said if this is credible there should be some evidence, but I’d conjecture that perhaps Putin could have been part of that too

I’d have thought people would be crowing about that if it was the case.
> If other countries have laxer and more favorable terms for businesses

The "laxer and more favorable terms" include the fact that people in those countries are willing to work for pennies a day.

Unless you're proposing a substantial decrease in wages in the US, companies are not going to decide, of their own will, to bring those low-skill manufacturing jobs back.
