I'm not a lawyer, but "Deadwood Soap with a Prize Inside: Dirt" sounds like it could suggest sponsorship or endorsement to me.

Of course, as teh_klev pointed out, this most likely isn't the cause of the store's Shopify problems since HBO says they're OK with what the store does.
I fundamentally believe that:

* The language you use defines how you attack the problem. If you use Snobol then you can only think of the world as strings. If you use an APL derived language then you think in terms of arrays.
* If the language's core attributes really suit the problem then you get something fundamentally different. We see this with Erlang which achieves safety but (finally) acknowledging that stuff crashes so build support for recovery into the language.

As someone who used to commercially sell a text editor derived product, memory management is just plain hard.

I've used VS Code and for __my__ use case which is a lot of stuff open concurrently, I've never found it to be performant. It always feels laggy. I'm a consulting and I make side projects so I always have a huge amount of context open at once.
Not a direct answer, but I find that long pressing the back button is helpful in those situations, a dropdown appears and it shows all the previous pages I had visited, even if the history has been polluted.
First thing I try is:

Star trek imdb

First result is startrek.com, second result is Star Trek into Darkness IMDb but 3rd is xkcd.

It then goes off into Q and William Shatner Wikipedia links and Muppet Movie IMDB in Russian.

I tried putting a plus in front of IMDB and quoting Star Trek. It doesn't seem to be able to find Star Trek on IMDB. I admire the concept, and it is extremely fast.

The 3rd I believe. The point of the article is to show Abe's connection to the church through political alliances developed since his grandfather and the Japanese media is at some level seeking to downplay the prevalence of anti-religious extremism.

That sounds good. But my company has no budget to gather the clans. So what is the alternative?
> Instead of looking at how long people spend on a site, we would encourage users to give explicit feedback on rankings and use this to improve our ranking system.

While they're not wrong about how the way Google determines ranking has its issues, this way has its own set of problems. If you explicitly use user ratings as part of your rankings in some way, people can punish sites they don't like, ala review bombing on Yelp, Steam, etc.

Not saying it's necessarily a bad idea because of that, but I hope they don't fall victim to the mentality of, "let's just trust the users" as an ironclad rule, because that doesn't always work out well.
Perspective API – Using machine learning to reduce toxicity online
Many people here on Hacker News are realizing that a significant part of their hard-earned skills are now available to anyone for a few cents of compute time.

Once these systems scale up to attention over long pieces of program text (instead of just a few thousand tokens) most of software development will be near minimum wage, almost skilled labor.

> I sympathise, truly, but obviously this text editor is doing something more than just displaying text that necessitates the ram consumption.

All I do is edit text. My editor isn't an IDE. It doesn't run tests, etc. It is just an editor. I have no idea why it does what it does but it does it.

And I get what you are saying about nvim / neovide but it feels reasonable to me that __45__ years into the WIMP interface (assuming 1977 as a point when Xerox Parc had things running well) that we should be able to:

* Have a nice UI
* That edits text without crashing

I completely agree on tools you are forced to use. Truth.

I'm afraid the EU Digital Services Act (which states that platforms are not "liable for hosting content unless they know it is illegal") will lead to more problems like this.

Platforms will want to be safe, and will content block up-front, meaning it's the user who has to prove the legality of what they are selling. Good luck with that (as the Twitter thread demonstrates).

It does, I just tried it with 102.1. You can add a "keyword" to use a search engine, and once you've done that, you can add it as a search engine to the url+search bar (the main one on top, I don't know how it's actually called) as well, and you can set it as your default search engine.

It sort of is inconsistent with democracy. People should know for whom and for what they vote.

Get 3 people to scrape it and see if there are significant differences.

Some might, because of A/B testing or news updating, but even updating news will get a positive similar page and those that don't should probably fall into an exceptions category until it can be determined what can be done about it. Maybe a flag in the URL to give you a static page or just accept that it changes often enough that even faked pages won't last long?

How to Write a Successful Substack
Some companies allow you to request a higher limit, I suppose one could do that multiple times? Some firms are obviously less responsible than others.
I do too. However, I am responsible for a couple of sites that Bing absolutely refuses to even index. Google has no issues with them, not for 10 years running. Those sites are effectively invisible in Bing and therefore DuckDuckGo. I’m not talking about low ranking, the entire domain is ignored.

My own personal website for example is not even listed in the search engine I use. Microsoft support see the issue but have no explanation and escalate and quote “quality requirements” for weeks now. A human review yielded positive results regarding quality. Meanwhile, I see lots of SEO spam on DDG when searching for generic technical terms.
This reminds me of how some of my friends criticize “woke” (i hate the pejorative use of this term) because they’ve seen too many stupid, twisted versions of originally noble and intelligent ideas.

It’s an unfortunate truth that most people who hold the “right” beliefs do so mostly by accident. This works at the surface, to some degree, but breaks down whenever reasoning from principles is required. We should try not to forget that it’s also true of ourselves.

This is an excellent article, and it really reinforces the importance of always trying to genuinely and honestly steelman new ideas.

all these news organizations in Japan are nothing but government mouthpieces. When Abe was in power the journalists could not stop singing his praises and how smart the whole "Abenomics" was supposed to be.
1. You're linking the Washington Post. Do you want me to go find an article on RT that says the Oligarchs are united against the US? That is a long article claiming to know things that they can't and don't know and is political propaganda to help push this terrifying US proxy war.

2. What do you expect to happen here? How do you think these thefts have helped the situation? Even if you want to argue that these people now hate Putin, they are powerless. The west just stripped them of all their assets.

I think there might be a split in world views. There is a new emerging set of beliefs that are incompatible with some more traditional beliefs. When discussing them people tend to focus on the consequences of these beliefs and not the axioms. It also seems that people are not willing to agree to disagree online. Yet they're often happy to in offline relationships. I think this is a consequence of how superficial online interactions are.

HN appears, to me, as one shining light in the darkness. Conversations here remain civil. I have just deleted my Twitter account for that very reason. If they had an army of Dangs they might be able to moderate to the degree that HN does. However I don't think Dangs scale.

I’ve been using Vim as my primary editor for 25 years and at this point the keyboard nav is burnt into me.

I still use two finger scrolling on my track pad though. If I’ve been in another window I might also start the cursor at a point with trackpad.

It works fine over ssh too.

I think most newbies that care enough to try Vim know there is a Vim Way. They know about Vim Golf.

That get tiring all the time when you’re starting out. Sometimes they just want to get the job done until they learn, I’m ok with that. Just have a go.

It’s absolutely fine to make use of all the features Vim provides and use it any way you want because you’re always going to me slowly learning more.
Because the typing system used in Python is a big footgun. If the basis of the language you are using encourages footguns then it's not surprising that a large library in that ecosystem doesn't care about that either.
There are many possible reasons for images not looking so sharp. From the top of my head:

- When not stopped down, most lenses are not that sharp, especially older ones.
- Most sensors employ an anti-aliasing (lowpass) filter that blurs the image.
- The smaller the photosites, the worse the signal-to-noise ratio.
- Bayer interpolation.
- Less then optimal post-processing, like aggressive denoising and sharpening with too large of a radius
- Compression artifacts and color sub-sampling.
- Analog outputs are usually bandwidth-limited (lowpass filtered) for EMI compliance reasons. Not an issue with an all-digital workflow of course.

This is true (source: worked at NASA and heard other astronomers opinion of Sagan). The other chief aspects were (1) some had professional disagreements with Sagan and resented that he still won academic battles for mindshare just by being Sagan, and (2) resentment of his success by academics who were just as good but didn’t get fame and the grant wins or lucrative work that came from it.
We don't need another centralized search service. We need protocols for publishing and finding information that do not rely on servers.
That work started back in the late 80s, early 90s, and people have been building and organizing corpora at an increasing scale. Cleaning a corpus is a hell of a lot of work. I guess they've been using older work to bootstrap that.
I'm almost sure S3 keeps data and eats the cost. Although, my understanding is from 7 years ago when I worked on the team that would have implemented it.

If they do, then it probably would require a human to run a tool. It would have to be big bill to warrant that.
Depending on how you use HN, it can be. Some people are here for the technical topics.

I believe you mean 'inherent'.
We're visiting my wife's family, and tonight my sister-in-law's front tooth broke completely off while biting into a tortilla chip. It would be pretty funny if the tooth fairy left something under her pillow. Hopefully her husband thinks of it, because I'm not sneaking into their bedroom at 2AM. I already witnessed her scream bloody murder once today!
If you are interested in the media in Japan and how it chooses to report or not report news I recommend the book "Exposure: Inside the Olympus Scandal". It tells the story of loss hiding at Olympus. Especially interesting are the chapters about how difficult it was to get any news coverage of some extremely suspicious things.
The very fact that people look at it and think "what the fuck is this" is a problem, even if there are decent reasons under the hood somewhere.
If every heavily SEO’d result was produced by a company that produced a directly relevant product, I don’t think we’d be as disappointed with the content.

The truely garbage content is produced as cheaply as possible (scraped, generated from a data source or generated via “ai”) to capture advertising revenue, often via sub prime advertising networks (or a number of middleman networks).

But to your point, not everyone wants to buy something, and not everyone needs to.

Much of the content out there is simply trying to capture your attention and make you available to some of the worst advertising and ad networks (read scams, lead gen, fake buttons, affiliate crap).
That seems to be the main growth problem for Twitter. It has extreme product-market fit for a certain type of information junkie, but 15 years of optimizing the product for them has made it impenetrable to other potential users.

As Matt Levine likes to complain, not even Twitter’s own board and executives seem to use or like the product. It is a hostile and unappealing environment to most people.
Is it? In most democracies in the world there are things you cannot publish even if they are true - Britain for example still maintains an official state censor, and even in the US there are still some state secrets that you cannot publish regardless of how true they are. Britain and many other countries also maintain a right to privacy that protects non-public-figure individuals against salacious soap-opera tabloid shit - you can't just go telling the whole world that Joe Q Public cheated on his wife, even if it's absolutely true because it's not a good idea for the panopticon to be pointed at the powerless like that.

Again, as should be said every time the topic comes up here on HN - the idealization of absolute and unlimited free speech is kind of a uniquely American phenomenon and even then it is not quite absolute. The rest of the world views freedom of speech as a right that needs to be limited and balanced like every other right.

Everyone has frequently talked about how we shouldn't be having media broadcast the manifestos of these shooters and glorifying them, how the media should just suppress information about them and refuse to publish their pictures and only and talk about them in the abstract... isn't that exactly what is going on here? This guy killed the prime minister and you want to know exactly what his cause was in exacting detail...
A NN is just a fancy search engine: the weights are a compression of its training data; it's prediction algorithm is a decompression+search. These "large models" are effective because the weights run to 100s GBs, so compressing TBs of data for searching.

In any case, my question here is: how do you not go mad in this techno-religious environment where people (seemingly desperately and earnestly) equivocate correlations in written text with thinking?

I feel at once overwhelmed, despairing, and a sense of need to point out that it isn't true. It's the most obscene form of wishful thinking and superstition.

HNers seem capable of identifying pseudoscience when its an article in nutrition (namely, eg., that correlations in the effects of human behaviour are not explanations of it)... but loose all sense when "AI" becomes the buzzword.

Correlations in *TEXT* are not models of language, intelligence, thinking. This is pseudoscience. And the most extreme and superstitious form: thinking that correlations are meaningful because we find them meaningful.

A person using language uses it in response to an environment, so "Pass me the salt" is said on the occasion that one needs salt. The "language model", `language = person(...)` includes the environment as input (and many other things).

Correlations in pixel patterns of the night sky are not a model of gravity. Correlations in text are not a model of language. Correlations in the detritus of human behaviour are not models of intelligence.

But to my question: how does one cope in an environment of this kind of wishful thinking?

>If there's an allegation of an additional lie that's material to the deal, Musk hasn't provided evidence of that here.

Did you read the filing? He provided evidence of them violating their obligations under the agreement (refusing to provide adequate access to data to independently verify claims made about user engagement). Twitter agreed to these terms. Read the original agreement to see for yourself.

>he had every opportunity to decide whether to trust Twitter or not

How does that mean fraud is okay? If Twitter lied again, it would be a clear contract violation. You can't just lie about critical company metrics to acquirers, due diligence or not. It's fraud AND a contract violation.

Given we're talking about a disreputable company with a history of lying, I'm not inclined to believe them and I don't know why you immediately believe their claims. Perhaps you can enlighten me as to why you think they deserve trust in this matter.

I was trying to go through all the research that has been done on how to understand the internet recently, and I found a jem. A book called No Sense of Place, it reads like Aristotle:) the way he was trying to correct the philosophers before him, but I still have a couple of chapters to finish.

(btw, something very important in order to understand that book and others before it, is to give up on that fancy abstract idea that the internet is just "flow of information", this idea appeal to programmers for obvious reasons, and it is the most silly way to look at the internet)

Alone Together is very good too, the way Turkle focuses on empathy is important I guess.

Because people googling SOMETHING are more likely to buy SOMETHING than people googling SOMETHING_ELSE.
It's not about "licenses to exist", but access to the press clubs (kisha clubs). Basically, if the government doesn't like what you print/say, you get frozen out the clubs and hence out of all government news.

i like this approach as a possible use for a personal searchengine, that only has stuff that i have been looking at. for that it would be helpful to have some kind of browser extension that can autosubmit everything in my history. ideally that extension would also autoaccept every submission so that it can work fully in the background without my intervention.

also helpful would be a whilelist/blacklist feature, say, wikipedia and stackoverflow may always be autoaccepted while certain other sites may always be rejected, and the rest go through the regular review process.

then i can use that as my default search engine and branch out when i don't find what i am looking for. for that it would also be cool if there could be a way to search wiby and another search engine in paralell and display like 5 results from each.

Not necessarily backing the decision of the Japanese newspapers here, but US politics is basically a circus of unsubstantiated allegations which are front and center because they get more eyeballs. Sensationalism is hardly a pillar of democracy. It's a scourge and the country would be better off if Fox, MSNBC, Twitter's apocalypse algorithms etc. were a little more reserved.
