> Professors barely learning how to use a laptop are not worth

I have a lot of friends and acquaintances that are university professors and it was frankly embarrassing how many of them could not be bothered to learn to adapt to online teaching. There was endless complaining about basic things that anyone who works in an office doing meeting with remote teams has to learn.

There are entire industries based around providing educational content online, and even more based around creating engaging content online. It's more or less a solved problem and someone with a Phd should certainly be capable of learning a few new tricks. You're not tasked with some impossible challenge, you're just being asked to rethink how you teach for the benefit of hundreds of students paying collectively millions of dollar to learn from you.

HN is moderated, primarily by the user base, hence being censorship resistant is not the goal. We come here for the high quality filtering and curation.

Even if Elon relaxes speech rules on twitter, moderation and "censorship" are required by local laws. There is no way around it.

I'm curious how he (Elon) will deal with teens and cyber bullying

Man, I wish I could multi-upvote...
Sure it does, but you have to feed it somehow and maintain it so that the data there is of good quality and makes business sense. Afaik, clickhouse is not great for multitable joins required by good data warehousing practices like star and snowflake schema.
> every Wordle solver website says I only have 2

There are two different Wordle word lists--the set of legal guesses (roughly 13k) and the set of words in the solution list (roughly 2k). The latter list is curated to be a set of fair, interesting words, excluding plurals and more obscure words. Most Wordle solvers use knowledge of what words are in the Wordle solution database to pare down the set of "possible words". But with Don't Wordle, the "legal guess" list ends up being the more interesting one to show "remaining possibilities" for.

https://scoredle.com/ is a site that shows possible remaining words using the larger "legal guess" list, so you can see that you could have also guessed "SOCAS".

> Another point of confusion is that the first row says 2318 possible words, but there only seem to be 2309 words in the dictionary in the code

There were 2318 remaining possible words AFTER your first guess, which eliminated ~11k possibilities.

Opportunities are just the forward-looking effects of outcomes.
I also want to see a Cloudflare post-mortem here. All of my domains are with them. The worse part of OP's story is that they even prevented him from moving the domains to another registar. So if this happens to any of us we're completely locked out of our email.
The 72.5k truck only provides about 90 kwh at 9.6kw

90 / 72.5 = 1.24 Wh/$

Source is a footnote on Sunrun's site: "3When home is properly equipped and home transfer switch disconnects home from the grid. Based on 30kWh use per day using the F-150 Lightning with the extended range battery...." It requires the 80A charger which costs $4k + installation + the electrical upgrades to send 80A to wherever your charger is located.

It's incompatible with many solar systems too.
Are you responding to the parent's post and suggesting that this is something to do with Go's success, or are you simply complaining?
I see Telix, Qmodem and Procomm mentioned frequently when people reminisce about their modem days but rarely {COMMO} which is a shame. It was a fantastic piece of software which deserves more recognition.
This would actually be better than $10K forgiveness, which is kind of a drop in the bucket for people who are really struggling with student loan debt, despite the previous commenter thinking the amount is "egregious".

Great news from Canada. Freeze put in place for handguns and mandatory buy back of assault rifles.

For Samsung users, the Galaxy Store version of this app, at least for now, still allows purchases.

Amazon (after checking with Samsung) should publicize this, and stick it to Google just a little bit. While helping out their users, of course.

I am really curious about this. How screwed is this? Can you move your domain out, if you want to?
So you can do this, but it won't support TLS to my knowledge. At least in my testing, it will work to navigate to www.dontwordle.com (you will get redirected to https://dontwordle.com). However, if you tried navigating _directly_ to https://www.dontwordle.com, that would not work. In fact, you can try clicking on https://www.dontwordle.com right now, and it won't work :) To be fair, currently I do not have it implemented exactly the way you described, but I encountered this exact same behavior when I tried it that way
I consider myself better off than average, and I don't have enough money to buy the toys that necessitate an F150 or larger truck. Just the nature of things that heavy, those toys are usually pretty expensive. You get raked over the coals for an F150 or larger to begin with. You BETTER need it. Or have inherited some money, because the money I work for ain't going towards it.

I'm looking at Ford Mavericks. I really just need the bed, at most. I've owned trucks and SUVs before, and prefer compact pickups over everything else. I could easily use a 5x8" flatbed trailer and gain extra space with a crossover SUV, which is the smart move for people that have the space for a trailer.

I'm lucky to even be buying a house, let alone a full frame pickup and a heavy trailer like a horse trailer. I'd rather pay off a mortgage. Without affordable compact pickups coming back, I wouldn't ever have one again. I was leaning towards small crossover SUVs and hatchbacks with a trailer.

The main issue I have with the idea of Navi 21 is that its a 32-wide warp, when CDNA2 (like MX250x) is 64-wide warp.

Granted, RDNA and CDNA still have largely the same assembly language, so its still better than using say... NVidia GPUs. But I have to imagine that the 32-wide vs 64-wide difference is big in some use cases. In particular: low-level programs that use warp-level primitives, like DPP, shared-memory details and such.

I assume the super-computer programmers want a cheap system to have under their desk to prototype code that's similar to the big MI250x system. Vega56/64 is several generations old, while 6800 xt is pretty different architecturally. It seems weird that they'd have to buy MI200 GPUs for this purpose, especially in light of NVidia's strategy (where A2000 nvidia could serve as a close replacement. Maybe not perfect, but closer to the A100 big-daddy than the 6800xt is to the big daddy MI250x).

--------

EDIT: That being said: this is probably completely moot for my own purposes. I can't afford an MI250x system at all. At best I'd make some kind of hand-built consumer rig for my own personal purposes. So 6800 xt would be all I personally need. VRAM-constraints feel quite real, so the 16GBs of VRAM at that price makes 6800xt a very pragmatic system for personal use and study.
Would still be good to have for when a “web designer” saves a full-Res 5k-px on their Mac and then scales it using css width/height. Painful to watch the image slowly load on a less-than-50Mbps link.
I did a few weeks ago. It’s the only thing other than Nvidia that is up in my portfolio right now, lol.

I'll mention that to the bodega owner in town who's been in business longer than I've lived here. I'm sure it will get a chuckle.
Yes, but.. I am a software architect. ~90% of the job offers I get are from CEOs/CTOs who want me to join their small company to help them refactor because they can’t grow anymore. Tech debt kills as well.

I'd like to spend some time digging into radio/tnc firmware for vulnerabilities but that's a bit over my head. I've managed to dump the firmware from my TNC but I haven't found a good way to get it disassembled yet. I've got a partial disassembly, but that's it. Unfortunately, I won't have more time to work on that for a few months.

I guess I was lucky with the CAM/CAE software I’m working on. We don’t have too many GB of data, the stuff fits in VRAM of inexpensive consumer cards.

One typical problem is multiplying dense vector by a sparse matrix. Unlike multiplication of two dense matrices, I don’t think it’s possible to decompose into manageable pieces which would fit into caches to saturate the FP64 math of the CPU cores.

We have tested our software on nVidia Teslas in a cloud (the expensive ones with many theoretical TFlops of FP64 compute), the performance wasn’t too impressive.
Seems like this is a classic troll rather than someone with these opinions held genuinely.

Zulip doesn't do video calls itself, but we have handy "Start a call" button and you can configure which video call provider that uses. See:

All of our supported providers support screensharing. Our philosophy on this is that having a nice integration with multiple dedicated video call providers is almost certainly going to be a better user experience than building our own video call stack.

This completely tangential, but any time I see someone talking about normalizing a database, I briefly think they are talking about doing something like:

x/|x|

Ya know, like normalizing a vector. Of course this brief confusion doesn't matter, I sort it out quickly, and it is totally clear language to other database people -- it is just a funny quirk of overloaded lingo.

But I wonder if as big data and machine learning folks (since there's some overlap with Linear Algebra there) ever get their lingo mixed up.

If you live in the EU the article 15 of the GDPR grants you the right to ask about the details. Often companies reply that they don't need to answer because of ¨security¨ but this is not true. You can in detail ask about ALL personal data that was used as an input for this decision, information about the ¨automated decision-making¨ (algorithm), and all personal data that resulted out of this process. https://gdpr.eu/article-15-right-of-access/

If any of this data is false you have the right to rectification. https://gdpr.eu/article-16-right-to-rectification/
This was a false positive that was upheld through at least one round of human review.

I didn't mention Concorde specifically, but supersonic flight in general. But anyway: the "stellar" safety record of Concorde is: 20 were built, 1 crashed and burned killing all on board. Let's compare it with a plane that has been flying since the same year: the Boeing 737. Of the more than 10,000 that were built, there were about 185 hull loss accidents, of which 83 included fatalities [0]. That's a ratio of less than 0.0083, compared to 0.05 for Concorde. Not exactly great. I'm pretty sure that if you compare it with deaths by trip or by distance traveled it's gonna be even worse.

I think Concorde was pretty cool, but let's not kid ourselves. And I'm not even gonna mention the track record of the Tu-144.

It doesn't work with >80% owning a car and using it. There is just too much traffic, biking gets difficult and public transport runs half-empty (if even existing)

It would very well work in most places with <20% own a car and using it. And in some rare case renting one.

Gyms would go bankrupt because nobody needed to go there anymore because they bike every day. But that would be an acceptable downside IMHO.

(I know what I am talking off. I work from home, but I bike to some shop, not even the closest one, every day to get my motion.)

How to get there I don't know. Europeans are not willing to do it. And Americans are decades behind with the development going into the completely wrong direction.
I wonder how up to date that 1% number is? From what I understand China has recently passed the zero to now be in negative population growth territory in 2022. Other countries have led the way. From my understanding, India is still in the positive territory but it is trending towards the negative as is the growing global trend it seems.
Around that same, the US implemented the National Maximum Speed Law [0], more commonly known at the "55mph speed limit" for the same reason.

It is widely regarded as one of the least popular pieces of legislation ever enacted by Congress, so hated that it even became the subject of a hard rock song [1]. It was widely ignored by motorists and police alike, with non-compliance rates as high as 85%. Some states made violations of the law basically meaningless, with the "fine" being a few dollars and no points or any other ramifications. It's also why cars over a certain age will have a big circle around the 55 on the speedometer.

What's crazy is that this wildly unpopular law soldiered on, in watered down form, until 1995, at which point speed limits fully reverted to state control. And, in retrospect, because of the widespread non-compliance it is believed that it did relatively little to impact overall fuel usage.

Interestingly, in Montana, there were some places that, prior to the 55 speed limit, had no speed limit. They were signed as "Reasonable and Prudent", and when the 55 speed limit was repealed, the "Reasonable and Prudent" signs went back up [2]. I have a picture of myself in front of one around that time because I was working as a park ranger in Yellowstone. This changed in 1999, and Montana now has a maximum speed.

Coffee is extremely popular, and too easy and cheap to meter when produced on site. Soda costs more and more hassle to buy (in cans/bottles), is extra work to make cheaply (install and maintain a tap), and mostly is grossly unhealthy and most people (outside of coder stereotype) don't want it at work.

SodaStream-style device fits the coffee mold, but it's less popular and not traditional.

I have a full collection of Newton's from the OMP to the 2100 (including an eMate). They're neat devices and it's interesting to wonder what could have been.

At the same time it's really easy to see their limitations and why they failed to take off. The Newton was aimed squarely at the concept of a late 80s early 90s jetsetting executive. A small device that replaced a briefcase and purchased on the company AmEx.

Unfortunately for the Newton that's a pretty rarified market. Even within that market a contemporary laptop was vastly more capable for only 2-3x the price. Because the Newton seemingly aimed at such a narrow market it just couldn't support itself let alone a third party ecosystem.

I was in love with the idea of a Newton, they were the PADD from Star Trek! The price put them out of reach until I bought a 2000 second hand. I'm glad I started with that one because the 2000 and 2100 were the most capable Newton's released and had the best expansion options. I was able to get some use out of it for years. Between NUGs and the NewtonTalk mailing list die hards were able to keep Newtons useful for a while.

My love for them aside I can understand why Steve Jobs axed them. Like the $4500 PowerBooks (the base 3400c cost that much in 1997 dollars!), the Newtons were just way more expensive than their utility could justify. The Palm Pilot market was an order of magnitude larger than the Newton and it was selling for half the price. There wasn't much reason to fight two entrenched platforms in two different markets (Windows/PC and Palm/PDAs).
Every language has quirks. We should have a WTF for all the major programming languages instead new users randomly stumbling upon them in the worst possible way.
That's the pessimistic side of the globalization coin (that the article touches on) but on the flip it is that it creates opportunities. New economies, markets, and other demand that has it's own needs for supply that didn't really exist before.

For example, national steel mills put local blacksmiths out of work, but they fueled industrialization, new construction, and entirely new market opportunities.

> I can’t believe how lightheartedly you are taking this.

What is the alternative though?

The web has turned in to this massive mess where most of us don't have the ability to do anything without having to rely on some ban happy mega corp.

Even something that was built to be decentralized like email has turned in to a (sort of) centralized architecture, try hosting your own email, everything goes in to spam.

Host a website and piss off some kid with $5 to spare, you get ddosed.

The web is owned by the big corps, as long as everyone of us come together and fix this it will be a very long time (if ever) before we have a truly decentralized internet.

So yeh, the only option I have is to take this lightheartedly and move on.
Yes - I wrote software that makes it fast to do by hand.

You'd certainly be welcome to resume! I think including the date + number of comments is the important bit, plus not pointing to threads with zero comments - but IIRC you had both of those features.

Edit: one fun fact – it's surprisingly difficult to post links to past threads without coming off as somehow reproaching the latest submitter for posting a duplicate. In reality, HN allows reposts after about a year (and this is in https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html), but many people don't know that and interpret the list of past threads as an implicit criticism, which is a shame.

I've tried out a bunch of different wordings trying to minimize that misunderstanding. The simplest one seems to be the most effective - I just say "Related". Somehow the word "related" sounds less like a criticism. It also has the nice property of being inclusive, so for example it's fine to include other articles on the same topic.

One of these years, I still want to build software support for collecting related URLs and related past threads into HN's official UI. Then we can all build up sets of related things collaboratively. That will hopefully make HN more interesting.

The first generation arduinos did not have flow control to built-in serial converter, true. But it does not mean "Arduino does not support FC" - if you connect a your own serial port to a "pro" series device, you can implement flow control without any problems.

And all the next generation arduino clones with built-in USB stack are just wonderful for serial data! I went over 3Mpbs on atmega32u4 device, and it came with USB flow control, so speed goes up as USB bandwidth is freed up, and connection pauses if data is not consumed, fully automatically.
