Thanks for the thoughtful feedback.

Yeah, the time limit doesn't serve much of a purpose beyond creating some playful pressure.

These are all good points that I will work on.
Is there anything today that really chases that original, beautiful vision of Meteor: To be a platform that would allow ordinary smart people who are NOT programmers to develop real, solid, fully capable web applications?

I haven't looked at all the low-code/no-code offerings out there, but most of them seem very limited compared to Meteor, either because they intentionally limit scope to make the building easier, or because they rely on heavy SaaS backends and such, rather than Meteor's easy deployabilty to any old server.

Suggestions?

That's not a rule, it's a guideline.

Rules don't start with "please":

> Please don't comment on whether someone read an article. "Did you even read the article? It mentions that" can be shortened to "The article mentions that."
Google isn't the one holding the keys to the castle. Data brokers predate them by decades. The primary reason why the US has weak data protection laws is because the government doesn't want their activities to be encumbered.
Brave Googles (user-defined search ranking filters with Adblock syntax) can address this, but we need to maintain a github or other group-editable list of forums.
Thanks. I feel like someone taught this to me when I originally learned the "Caesar must be best" method, but I lost the useful bit over time. Let's see how long it lasts this time!
I’ve thought about it, but I’m not a fan of being able to customize what people see (or don’t see) for major news headlines.

One vision I have is that millions of people from different ideologies read the exact same “front page” of news. I figure if the headlines are not sensationalized and are more factual, legible news has a shot at that.

I have considered breaking apart the pages if there’s ever too much content, like having a Sports and Finance section.
I use Finicky to seamlessly route links to the right place (browsers and apps, such as Zoom so you don't have to bounce in a browser then the app).

You can use the args param in the browser callback to get incognito mode for your matches (I've confirmed this snippet works for Brave; others may vary):

browser: ({ urlString }) => ({
name: 'Brave Browser',
args: ['-incognito', urlString],
}),

Disappointed cockwomble isn't in there. It's my go-to.
> Are you saying that 2/3 of them don't try again?

Yes.

> ou find people that definitely attempted suicide and were interrupted, then track them

Pretty much. Obviously, people's natural lifespans exceed how long these studies have been going on, so there's a natural timelimit. I think most studies look 5 years out.

> An attempt is counted as "serious" only if they try again

No, the exact opposite. You try to find out if the interrupted attempt was serious. I'm saying that the 2/3 number isn't counting people who idly speculate about suicide or write a note. It's counting people who take steps that realistically can be interpreted as an attempt.

Of those people who made a "serious" attempt, 2/3 will not try again.

> Okay, but then what's the intervention here?

I mean, if you're jumping from "suicides are irrelevant" to "what policies can prevent them", I'm not sure. If we didn't care about self-defense, there would be lots of policies (requiring guns to be locked up at ranges or something), but people do care about self-defense. And any barrier that will prevent suicide likely will prevent that. Consider some magic program that assesses mental state. You're probably under similar emotional stress in both suicide and self-defense.

But as is, that does seem to be one thing "red flag" laws are for.
> I don't know where you get the idea that it takes more energy to produce hydrogen using solar than NG.

Pulling H2 off of water takes input energy. Pulling H2 off of methane ultimately releases energy.

That doesn't mean that electrolysis couldn't eventually become cheaper, but rather that processing natural gas to create H2 can require less energy since there is already energy in that carbon-hydrogen bond that gets released through processing.
My personal favorite, 'shitweasel', is completely absent.
I think the 'successful business' part has become less relevant for investors that are just looking to exit sooner than later. The business model for many apps has become: make a product > obtain users > get hype > IPO > exit. At the exit portion, the product gets littered with ads, competition starts to catch up, and the product begins to decline.

Obviously this is pretty reductive but this is generally what I have seen as a user of many apps in the past 10 years.
On ‘recent’ files your operating system will most typically not even touch the disk because they will aggressively cache those files in memory
Maybe, not the answer you are you are looking for, but I replaced the phone, with a... phone, but without a SIM card.

So much peace now. I use VOIP through Telegram and Signal. I use email.

I get extremely fine-grained control over who can reach me, and when can I be reached.

I made this switch since February, 2020, and my life became better by 10-15% better automatically.

My phone hasn’t rang and I hadn't answered in the last 2.5 years. I love this.

So much better for mental health and wellbeing.

Now, I talk, but only with prior notice.
>The Chinese government is an adversary of the West whether we like it or not.

Is it? I feel like it is an adversary of the Western governments. I don't feel like they are my adversaries. We could be friends if our governments wanted to.
This article compares CHERI to an 80's computer, the Rational R1000 (which I'm glad to know of). It's worth noting that CHERI's main idea was explored in the 70's by the CAP computer[1]. CAP and CHERI are both projects of the University of Cambridge's Computer Lab. It's fairly clear that CAP inspired CHERI.

How are efforts to increase tree cover in cities?
Hi HN,

My closest friend only uses email and over the years I have grown tired of writing a heading and a body every time to share something with him.

So I built this very simple link sharing board which generates boards with uuids and as long as you know the uuid, you can see the links on the page and add new links.

It is built with Imba (which was fantastic) and Supabase as the DB. Deployed on Netlify.

Sharing in case there is someone else who might find this useful.
It seems whenever I have in-depth knowledge of something, and see a journalist's reporting on it, it's all wrong.

For example, I was in a building once when a natural gas leak caused the roof to blow off. I recorded 3 local news casts about it later that evening. They all got major facts completely wrong. They said it was a warehouse (it was an office building). They said the building was cleared before it blew (I was in it when it blew, the firemen never suggested I leave).

Another one is the 737MAX crashes. The popular press consistently misrepresents and misreports it. (I've posted about that here many times.)

And, quite obviously, the mainstream media in the US has been completely misrepresenting current events. Do you think that's a modern phenomenon? I don't. I suspect it has always been happening, it's just that the internet has exposed it.

Officials are usually elected because the people trust them (yes von der Leyen indirectly elected, but that's besides the point here). In geopolitical decisions for example, the people can't and shouldn't be able to know everything.
Under very rich conditions, unburnt fuel will combust in the catalytic converter, drastically increasing the temperature and greatly speeding up oxidation, which degrades its effectiveness with regard to all pollutants, including NOx, and oftentimes pretty dramatically.

Aside from Taiwan, and Xi, are there other formal restrictions to placate Chinese government?

Of course, commercial companies always need to please their customers, so that's an entirely different topic. You cannot blame the firms who avoid stereotyping Chinese people. Because the customers are going to be mad.

> “Everything is seen in China,” said a member of TikTok’s Trust and Safety department in a September 2021 meeting. In another September meeting, a director referred to one Beijing-based engineer as a “Master Admin” who “has access to everything.” (While many employees introduced themselves by name and title in the recordings, BuzzFeed News is not naming anyone to protect their privacy.)
I had no idea it got updates. Impressive. i used it for reference of simple bit level algorithms more than a decade ago
Imagine if the US did...
Yes, but only for concise pieces. No bullshit.

The thing is Google created a problem with the "longer content" is better, longer content is not better if most of the text is there to stuff keywords and please the algorithms.

1- I think automated content is good.

2- People using it shouldn't abuse it, if you make content longer than it has to be you are wasting other people's life.

3- A lot of people are gonna abuse it.
It’s just plain assault. I’d rather be slapped in the face than blasted with carcinogenic smoke.

Surprisingly, it worked out rather well. Of course, the boards those days weren't so tight, either.
"Unsafe at Any Speed" is the name of Ralph Nader's book on car manufacturers resisting car safety measures. It resulted in the creation of the United States Department of Transportation in 1966 and the predecessor agencies of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in 1970.
Are you sure it wasn't done before by IBM in the '60s?

Actually it’s not irrelevant. Lots of people choose between a Mac and Windows and the M chips up the competitive pressure on Intel and AMD to improve their offerings.

The Git docs are very comprehensive and the writing is surprisingly easy to follow.

Also you're totally allowed to set up private repos and run whatever dodgy commands some karma-poor guy on SO claims should sort you out and see what you end up with, or create a "rewritten history" scenario that everyone has always been warning you to avoid (forbidden fruit...).

In summary: Read the docs and git grokking!
> Is there a fairly applied rule here, or is sinophobia driving this?

Don't hide behind sinophobia to defend China's communism. This has nothing to do with ethnicity.

China is using its laws to effectively ban competition from foreign companies which don't want to cooperate with its totalitarian form of government. The US should do the same and not allow competition from totalitarian countries.
Of course things would be faster if we did away with coarse grained virtual memory protection and instead merged everything into a single address space and guaranteed protection using fine grained permission mechanisms.

The problem with that is that a single error in the fine grained mechanism anywhere in the entire system can quite easily cause complete system compromise. To achieve any safety guarantees requires achieving perfect safety guarantees across all arbitrary code in your entire deployed system. This is astronomically harder than ensuring safety guarantees using virtual memory protection where you only need to analyze the small trusted code base establishing the linear address space and do not need to be able to analyze or even understand arbitrary code to enforce safety and separation.

For that matter, fine grained permissions are a strict superset of the prevailing virtual memory paradigm as you can trivially model the existing coarse grained protection by just making the fine grained protection more coarse. So, if you can make a safe system using fine grained permissions then you can trivially create a safe system using coarse grained virtual memory protection. And, if you can do that then you can create a unhackable operating system right now using those techniques. So where is it?

Anybody who claims to be able to solve this problem should first start by demonstrating a mathematically proven unhackable operating system as that is strictly easier than what is being proposed. Until they do that, the entire idea is a total pipedream with respect to multi-tenant systems.

Social media bots are cheap propaganda. Much more cost effective than running a TV station.
That's a valid reason for looking forward and creating a new 4-year RSU schedule. I certainly wouldn't expect my currently agreed upon RSUs to be increased with the same (already vested in some cases) schedule to "make me whole".

I mean, it's an investment, like any other.
Profit for who? All VCs want is for the company to IPO, because that's when they can get their money back with a nice profit. The company itself doesn't have to be anywhere near profitability to IPO. Look at Uber, Airbnb, Dropbox, etc.
It is happening, just not fast enough. Renewables are already cheaper than anything else. Building out more saves money. Only social inertia slows it. Distraction adds to inertia.

Doing things to increase inertia makes things worse. Distracting people with pies in skies makes things worse.

The planet fries, regardless, if CO2 is not brought down. Fooling around with anything that does not brings catastrophe nearer.

It was, as I described, perfectly in accordance with the laws of war.

Furthermore, there's a special reason why it's not correct to classify it as a massacre: namely, those who deviated from the advance on the Armenian outpost were not killed. Some apparently froze to death in the mountains, but those who were captured were returned to Azerbaijan unharmed.
“Contributors were from sectors including the creative industries, tech industry, pharmaceuticals, the third sector, academia, and legal and IP professions. More than 60 people participated in the roundtables and shared their experiences and thoughts. There were also 88 written submissions received. We also talked to AI service/equipment providers, artists, entrepreneurs, inventors, academics and other IP offices.“

Other than academics, everyone consulted likely had value in giving IP to AI. Rather than creative industries, it would have been good to get input from
Creators directly, even though their bias would be against AI IP

Do you have some pointers on scaling GNNs to such large problems?
The videos are attached to the sounds used in them.

Anyone can literally stick a totally false political statement or whatever they want over "OhNo" by Creeper and it's highly likely to trend. It's also why the song OhNo, and many variations of it played so often on the platform. There is always a limited and interchangeable pool of songs designated by the platforms to trend, in order to make the ruse less obvious. The designated sounds can also be muted so that uploaded video sound can only be heard as well, but plays of the original sound still get the royalties.

On the back-end of that, Creeper makes royalties from each stream, and gives a cut to sponsors and TikTok... Literally millions of dollars each day are generated by any associated video plays... The entire music industry is looted by this too.

This is the BS involved with the algorithm on TikTok, it's not mostly AI driven recommendations, it's driven by a pre-designated sounds that make a lot of money because of royalty plays. TikTok gains popularity and money each time these trending sounds play picks the songs that trend. Other musicians, thinking they have a chance (without being endorsed by the platform) struggle fruitlessly to get their sounds to trend, but undercover they can't because they are not aligned with the right brand partnerships that lobby TikTok and pay heavily for advertising.

It's primarily not the algorithm in charge based on my observations as a developer, and the idea of content "choice" on TikTok is mostly a fallacy, though taxonomy does play a minor role in the mix, user accounts also manipulate their taxonomy to insert their content regularly into your feed.
Your statement strikes me as too generalizing and overly simplistic and the conclusion that basically the entire circus of Western democratic parties and elections is meaningless and we're all ruled by an anonymous, malicious class of fellow citizens that somehow want only the worst for us and we're gonna label them the "deep state" is as absurd as it is unnecessarily threatening the freedom we all cherish.

Two or even several things can be true at the same time.

Yes, some decision making transcends legistlative periods of elected officials.
Other decisions are actively brought in and executed.

Yes, there is a lack of feedback loop. Sometimes there are public compliance investigations after the fact.

Yes, some politicians are incompetent and have risen due to other qualifications, be it greed, be it communication. Some politicians may just not show their qualifications in the few moments when all the spotlight is on them.

Democracies are imperfect exactly not because there is a centralized hidden agenda going on but because people like you and I with emotions and ego participate in every step of the process.

Yes democracies are painfully slow to respond to change, don't catch all malicious actors in its executive branch and live with an oversized public servant body most of the time, but so help me any spiritual being you might know or believe in I'd choose to live in one any day of the week over autocracies where everything is nicely simple and announced by one, all competent super hero.

I'd recommend watching an annual People Congress of the CCP or how Putler auditions his inner circle and scolds them like school boys and then let's have a talk about the deep state.
A bit a false dichotomy: there are other open source CI alternatives that are way more modern than Jenkins: Drone/Woodpecker, Gitlab, sourcehut all come to mind.

To bring the costs down we need to shoot a few regulators.

The problem is that the safety standards are to make them as safe as reasonably possible--this *inherently* means they're going to be too expensive because if they weren't that means it would be feasible to improve the safety. We get huge cost overruns because the safety standards get changed in construction and they have to go back, reevaluate and modify. And because the greens manage to tie things up in court causing delays.

Instead, I would like to see (generally, not just in this case) that safety say twice as good as the best alternative is deemed good enough. (And note that solar and wind are not alternatives without a suitable storage system--which doesn't yet exist. The best alternative is natural gas--and it turns out my memory was faulty, natural gas is two orders of magnitude worse and coal is three orders of magnitude worse.)
A porcelain whose only purpose is to address those inconsistencies would be wonderful.

I'd hope that anyone at Intel with said nightmares would have read this paper by now (wherein Bob Colwell, et al, argue that the 432 could have been faster with some minor fixes, and competitive with contemporary CPUs with some additional larger modifications).

I learned them as a generalisation of CNNs where the data is stored in any graph, CNNs being a special case where the graph has a grid structure. Convolutions spread information from nodes to their neighbours. It's just implemented differently because the data isn't a neat 4D array anymore.

In that way, GNNs solve graph problems, the same way CNNs solve image processing problems. Training the GNN is more of an optimisation problem.

Edit: maybe graph theory can help with training on very large graphs but I don't know enough about that.
