I totally like the idea but I dare to doubt that this would solve the SEO problem. Website owners who are participating in those notorious affiliate programs or earn money with ads will still use the search engine to drag people onto their generic websites, using methodolgies to fit the search engines ranking mechanisms, no matter if they are public or not.

SEO and all it's results seem to be immanent to the system.

We should probably cut this off, but let me try to explain what I had in mind, which might be none sense, but was certainly not well explained. Too briefly, presumably we can agree that it’s even hard for experts to check and fix code created by other humans effectively. Now put this in a dangerous domain. I originally said aviation, but (confusingly) switched to medicine for reasons not worth going into, but we can replace “program” with “treatment regimen” and “expert programmer” with “specialist physician”. The fail I was reaching for is where what is hallucinated by the LLM looks really convincing (has great grammar), and is close enough to correct that it isn’t glaringly wrong - and these models are good at doing those two things! - but by virtue of the fact that they can’t reason, they aren’t actually “thinking things through” - which is why, of course, you need the programmer/specialist. But the hallucination is so good (yet wrong, per unreasoned) that users (patients) are taking the word of the model. You think that can’t happen, but we do it all the time with results from “Dr Google”. A friend who is a doctor says that patients regularly come in with inch think binders of stuff they printed off the web that he has to talk them down from. We’re headed for a near future where instead of being talked down from stuff you merely printed off, you’ll have to be talked down from an extremely convincing wrong treatment hallucinated by Dr HAL. Anyway…never mind.

That’s what it comes down to, really. Comment quality distribution certainly follows a bell curve. Voting helps bubble up the best top-level comments. But if you start reading the sub-comments, you’re on your own.

That’s not new, that is how it has been putting one’s voice out since the invention of speech…

I guess it’s a good thing 99% of people don’t run the world. If products were dictated by the majority we wouldn’t have macOS, nor even iOS which is technically a minority by raw users. Obviously some users use more intensely than others, which is why catering to power users is a totally viable and legit strategy.

Ask HN: How do you keep up broadly with science?
When I was a kid in school, each year there would be a new science textbook and invariably within the first few weeks I’d read the whole thing. What I enjoyed about textbooks at that level was a lot of basic (but scientific) knowledge about a lot of subjects, which I could then explore more deeply if I liked. Encyclopaedias were also nice for this, but the science textbooks really were my favorite.

The closest thing I’ve found is YouTube channels, but great ones aren’t necessarily super common, and I don’t know if any with a wide scope. Wikipedia I often find the articles are too complex when you get into specific topics.

The purpose is just for fun and intellectual stimulation, so not really looking for educational programs. Does anyone have any recommendations?
Same is happening in Russian pro-war videos rn. Lots and lots of pro-Russian comments not referring to any word has been told in the video.
How much is this beneficial to the Twitter brand?

Twitter gets free exposure from all the news and a boost in reputation if only 5% of users are bots. Is there room for growth? I have the impression that Twitter is for information junkies who all should already have heard of Twitter.

My car has the acoustic/visual warning, but I have to enable it manually.

It’s less useful than one would think… I basically only turn it on in cities where the limit is 30km/h, which was typically enacted to reduce noise or pollution (i.e. not necessarily for safety reasons). Even there, if the road’s not flat, it’s guaranteed that one will lightly go over the speed limit, at which point this feature becomes super-annoying.

I was driving downhill recently in an area with a speed limit of 30 and everyone was driving 5-10 over and slowing down for the radar. I turned the feature off as it was beeping constantly.

Another problem is figuring out what the actual limit is. This is done typically through map data and camera (which overrides the map data). This traffic sign recognition usually works, but sometimes picks up the wrong speed from e.g. a motorway exit or adjacent street. Recognizing additional signs such as “when raining”, between specific hours, etc still needs improvement. Such mistakes would cause a braking implementation to misfire and potentially endanger traffic.

I’ve found that when using the feature where the speed limit’s higher I have to set it 3-5km/h higher than the limit in order to be able to drive normally.
The linked article ends with this:

“Why the Japanese media has refused to identify the ‘religious group’ that formed the motive for the killing must remain as speculation at this juncture, though it reflects very poorly on Japan’s status as a democratic nation.”

It’s important to note that the Japanese media is not monolithic.

It’s true that the major newspapers (Asahi, Yomiuri, Mainichi, Nikkei, etc.) and the broadcaster NHK do not, as of this moment, seem to have named the religious group yet; nor do they seem to have explained why they are not naming it.

However, the group is named in online news stories by some of the weekly magazines [1, 2, 3] and will presumably be in their print editions within a few days. It’s all over Twitter etc., too.

The sale will happen at a lower price. Even though Elon would probably be forced to do the deal in 3-4 years.

This whole thing actually creates a golden bridge eventually for the twitter board to retreat on.

The board now has an obligation to sue, otherwise they are breaching their fiduciary duty. However, almost all shareholders will realise that a 2-3 year litigation at the end of which Elon might be forced to buy, is a long way away. Better to settle for a lower price now. Both shareholders and Elon will see this. The board just needs to demonstrate they are fighting for shareholders.

I predict in 3-4 months the board will offer a shareholder vote with a lower price, and shareholders will realise that it's way better to take that deal than wait for litigation.

>>Attempts to reduce instability create stability for wealthy class, like wall Street and bankers, while socializing the cost of maintaining stability by increasing the cost of living for everyone else,

Yes. The short term stabilization brought about by the socialization of losses and due diligence costs also degrades the weeding out process that instills long term discipline on financial institutions.

He's doing that thing [1] where's he's writing about a thing and presumably wants me - the interested reader - to know more about that thing because it's the thing he's spending all his time on, but he gives zero navigational options to his thing. So as that interested reader, it's down to me to find the name of his thing [Mwmbl] and then (hilariously, given the context!) use a search engine (probably The Evil Google) to find HIS thing.

Seriously, people, if you're writing about anything at all, making assumptions is always a bad idea. If you're writing about a product, make it more than easy to get to it. Provide plentiful CTA's (that's Calls To Action, defined so as not to make the same mistake of assumption) - links, bittons, a big banner at the top: ("I'm building a non profit search engine called Mwmbl! Find out more").

K, thanks, </ moan >

A lot of religious ideas fall into this basket, particularly their manifestations in the USA. You could make a strong argument that American televangelists and their ilk killed Christianity in Western Europe.
The OS can regulate large parts of the performance curves but some of the configuration is in the microcode/firmware AFAIK to allow laptops designed for a certain thermal load to not exceed that load for too long rather than let the CPU fall back on thermal throttling at a less opportune time. I know Lenovo has a Windows driver that will boost performance of the CPU and GPU if you enable performance mode, even going so far as pre-spinning the fans in anticipation of what you're doing.

I'm not sure how the modern system works because CPU performance characteristics have changed quite significantly over the past few years.

Most desktop chips seem to follow very similar Intel/AMD curves anyway, but I know Apple used to aggressively tweak Intel CPUs to boost high very quickly whenever there was an interactive load (opening a program, clicking a link etc.) to help make the system feel responsive despite their terrible cooling solutions. A lot of their chips really couldn't take a load for too long before slowing down drastically, but most work by most people is in bursts so outside of areas like gaming and simulation you probably can't even notice.

After reading this book (got a reprint from bookdepository), I am yearning for more. Not necessarily on this very topic, but in this vein: slightly technical, but easily followed even when I know very little on the subject, very humorous and personable, hands on.

I would especially love to read something like this on the development of the A bomb and first reactors - like the very fact that the first reactor was called the Chicago Pile, was, well, a pile of graphite, uranium, and uranium oxide bricks, 400 tons of it, under a rafters of the Chicago University stadium, in the heart of Chicago, with zero radiation sheilding and was happily runnuing for 3 months. Wikipedia has a lot, but it's mostly dry description of the basic facts and history - no zest.

No! There is a 3rd! You could do a search app eco system where you leave the unlimited overly complicated puzzles a search engine could address as an exercise for the user.

I always have a bazillion ideas but couldn't think of a single good phone app before mobile phones. I mean, should I want my phone to be a gaming console? It seems ridiculous. Writing is writing books, all other kinds are watered down. Do I want to write books with an onscreen keyboard? It all sounded idiotic, nothing worth using.

But the idea you mention, typing an overly popular domain name without extension should take you to the website directly... What you are trying to say IMHO is CLI! Search is just the failback if the provided query/instruction doesn't make sense to any of the apps.

I cant think of many but there are no doubt thousands of activities that could benefit from an at least somewhat themed search engine. An app could be a biochemistry web directory that ranks results from a chosen sub folder above the normal results.

Any FOSS or other company could create a web dir tree with the few or many pages about it self. A check box lets you pick the ones you want to query. Normal results go under those results. The biochem wont bother you when searching for pokemon.

People love my stores. What they really want is to see illustrated results from my inventory above all other results. Uncheck the box if you are not in the mood. (edit: I'm joking of course but I do have a good fews shopping apps that I actually use)
what fuckin dirtbags, eh?
> Incidentally, a boutique synth that replicates the CS-80 pretty well (without keyboard) is the Deckard's Dream. It's $4000 but that's way less than a vintage CS-80.

If you hear from two CS-80 owners (Ty Unwin and Dave Spiers) talking about the CS-80 (back a few years ago when a Yamaha R&D engineer asked a forum what they would want to see in a CS-80 remake, which started a new round on the rumormill) on Sonic Talk, the Deckard Dream sounds nice but it ain't a CS-80 - the thing that was special with the CS-80 was the UI rather than the sound itself.

I am in Japan, have been watching the news, and this is the first time I’d seen the Unification Church named as the motive. My impression has also been that the domestic media is downplaying the connection.
Why aren't the major Japanese media outlets covering this angle before the polls close in Japan's upper house elections (today)?
That’s a terrible name

My teenager kid is having stomach pain, mostly after eating food. This has been going on for 3-4 years and we have seen 2 different doctors. They have done stool test, endoscopy and colonoscopy. However, everything is clean and they can not find a cause or treatment. So my child keeps taking pain killer almost every day and avoid eating when she is out. Unfortunately, they do not have any idea what might be going on while obviously something is wrong.
I have a friend who is mercifully* mildly allergic to the entire ragweed* family so I guess this means that there is an up side to it :D

* It's not a common allergy and the fruit and vegetables in encompasses are often used lightly in all sorts of foods without being explicitly listed. She once even got a cocktail with something (possibly cucumber?)

* All squash, pumpkins, melons, cucumbers, zucchini, etc
That states that even if you have no right to back out of a deal, you might get away with it anyway. Which doesn't seem to contradict what I said?

How about these, enabled by Republicans

- womens rights have been thrown back 50 years

- a legitimately won election was almost overturned by a violent mob incited by Trump at the time

Have the Democrats ever incited a mob to violently overturn an election?

The fact that people like Trump, Greene, Boebert and others with extremist and narcissistic values can rise to power / influence points to major systemic failures, which eventually destroys democracy if not stopped.

How do you avoid those destructive people rise to power?

> I do have a solution to this conundrum - I think we should give leaders a bonus that is a percentage of savings. For example, if an agency has $200 million budget, give the director 10% of all money saved every year. So if they successfully shrink their budget by $10 million, give them a $1 million bonus.

Wouldn't that just incentivize individuals to gut their agencies for personal profit? The day after a rule like that was put in place, the FDA would stop regulating every drug just so the director would get a $30m payout.

Also, with inflation (especially high as it is now), why would we ever expect an agency's budget to shrink a meaningful amount? Surely we would expect an 8% increase in every agency's budget just to maintain the status quo.

On chroot installs.

Debian's installation manual has a section on how to perform chroot installs. That is, there's a documented process for how to install Debian within another Linux distribution should you choose / need to do that.

It came about because the original author was hoping to try out Debian on a Red Hat system.

It's all userland over the kernal.

These days, even at the process level (or using tools such as jails), it's possible to define largely independent contexts for each individual process. CPU, memory, and kernel are common and/or shared, but other resources can be strongly segregated.
For someone like Carl Sagan his name is his most valuable asset. His reputation was being toyed with without his consent by a much more powerful entitity than him. He used the only defensive that the US is providing to individuals like him, that's the legal system. Apple's reaction confirmed their total disregard for his reputation and thus his source of income.

I find it shameful to suggest the weaker opponent the one who has been wronged by a bigger corporation or celebrity should always shut up and leave the more powerful entitity do what they want. I find that disgraceful.
I know people who integrated Mattermost — after stripping away most of its features because it wasn't needed — into another web app.

I’d argue branding and company culture are independent only if branding is weak in the first place.

Apple has a very strong brand, and if tomorrow they switched their logo and brand image to a cursive Ford style blue one it would need a strong justification behind it, a ton of employees would see such a change in a very negative way, and possibility think long and hard about their career path going from there, as the management might have lost their way.

Or the other way: when “Apple Computers” became “Apple” it wasn’t some random surface level change, but a reflection of how the company had deeply changed focus compared to its earlier days.

Branding and culture are rarely decoupled, and if any of those are strong enough they’ll change in lockstep.

PS: on brand and logo “refreshes”, like Peugeot moving to more a stylized lion, while those are arguably cosmetic, there is the same philosophy applied to the worker pool with “new blood” introduced to the company and processes and manufacturing moving along. In a way, the same thing is happening below and above the surface.
It would be very helpful if you could point to a concrete example!
So in summary, there is no evidence that this has anything to do with that at this time?
I always taste zucchini before using them in a dish. You can eat them raw, so just taste a piece and if it's bitter don't use it.

These toxins are quite bitter tasting, so you'll detect that as well as old zucchini that just don't taste good.
I really like your idea to have users help you crawl the web. I just don't like what your extension is asking for when I try to install it:

- Access your data for all websites
- Monitor extension usage and manage themes
Quite a neat way to crawl websites using a browser extension. That by itself is a form of donation to the search engine. Maybe in the future you can have dedicated software for self-hosted clients that users can run to crawl and index websites for mwmbl? Kinda like folding@home.

How are the batches of URLs to be crawled generated/discovered and posted at your API?

How do you deal with duplicate crawls?

I grew up in America and had the famous Kate Bush "leotard" poster on my bedroom wall. She wasn't as well known in the US because she didn't tour much outside of the UK. But she still had a cult of devoted fans in the US. Also, you have to remember that in the late 1970s the record companies were casting around for anything new that didn't sound like disco. That's how she got her first contract, David Gilmour of Pink Floyd sort of discovered her and helped her make her first demo, then presented it to his record company contacts. She's a genius artist and she deserves all the new attention she's getting.
