I was using MTurk for labeling about 10 years ago.

To see the other side I also did a 1 Month stint as a MTurk worker, earning about $300.

It is absolutely horrible work, and I used MTurk subreddit to find the "decent" jobs. I had the special firefox extension which ranked the job givers etc.

All jobs were below 1st world minimum wage and were incredibly depressing.
I think the adult content ones were the worst.

"Jian Yang: No! That's very boring work"

Worst thing was that you could not stop to think, you had to keep going if you wanted to at least make a few bucks an hour.

There are two solutions to the labeling issue:
Pay well (at least $20 an hour no matter the location).

If the workers feel exploited you do not get good results no matter the sanctions.

Even better solution to labeling is to find people who give a shit about your task.

That is how I've done 50k lines of labeling training our OCR for a rare font for Tesseract. We have a few volunteers and they know this is important work (preserving cultural heritage, non-profit, national library, etc).

Old reCaptcha had a similar "feel good" element.

Compare it to newest Google reCaptcha - you know those labels are going to be used for evil at some point in the future.
> I just want names, possibly mail forwarding, not hosting etc.

Another alternative is NearlyFreeSpeech.net. i'm using them simply for DNS with great results and fantastic prices. IIRC, if you _just_ use them for DNS it costs 1c per domain per day. If they are your registrar, that drops to 1c/3 days. i'm only using them for registration and DNS and it costs me about $1.20 per year. Their UI is... somewhat 1990s... but it works well and they have outstanding absolutely-zero-BS/marketing-speak docs (which was the thing which caused them to win my evaluation for a new registrar).
I wonder what configuration you use - because by default firewalls usually block all incoming traffic unless you make rule to allow traffic or configure specifically to allow all incoming traffic - but with that setting you could just uninstall firewall or turn it off.

I also have not seen RabbitMQ opening anything on my firewalls on installation or during the operation. There are some annoying applications that add firewall rules but RabbitMQ was not one.

If someone is solving issues by disabling whole firewall, his access should be revoked immediately from anything related to infra.

Firewall is a proper solution, learn how to use it properly instead of coming up with excuses.
I'd keep one and sell the other one.
With RabbitMQ it's also important to understand the difference between mirror and quorum queues: https://www.rabbitmq.com/quorum-queues.html
Wow, I totally missed that you spoke to exactly the point I was making. I'm sorry.
Interesting! Any examples of such languages?
I don’t think you could do the nesting because it doesn’t look like the nested doom has anyway to request additional memory.

The memory for the nested doom is allocated upfront as the exploit is loaded, which would put a hard cap on the number of nested doom instances. So if you tried to load the exploit in the exploit, it would probably SEGFAULT.
We are a very diverse bunch - some people like endless emoji animations some hate them. How would we implement a web that works well for (almost) everyone? Something like an alt_videoframe=3 that is static when the user chooses so? What about fade-in / slide transition vs. instantly displaying hidden text after clicking "show more"?

I feel like the whole accessibility discussion is not visible enough. So many websites presume specific display settings and perfect vision among its users. Even the initial caps in the linked article are overdone in my opinion - think about non-native English speakers and how they may be very confused by them.

edit: a good example can be the newly rolled out Reddit feature: "Shop Avatars" - they added a constant animation on the top which is really annoying.
Maybe "original creator"?
Rust actually accomplishes this with the unit '()' type which is similar but not the same as void in other languages. Any statement (or expression) produces a value, sometimes that value is just a unit, which can be passed around just as any other value. Currently the exception to this are 'let' statements but there is a nightly feature where this produces a unit value as well.
Just charge customers by the gigabyte like a mobile network or a satellite network. It is misleading in the first place to advertise certain speeds on an underutilized network.

This is like running an all-you-can-eat buffet and complaining when a fat guy shows up and eats you out of business. It's a flaw in the business model they CHOSE to implement.
I hope that doesn’t happen with Owlcat. Their first two games were based on the Pathfinder TTRPG, their 3rd game will be based on the WH40k Rogue Trader TTRPG.

But then both those IPs are probably crazy cheap to develop for in comparison to Pokémon.

as I asked above, can you elaborate this? I am not aware at all
Is that really a problem? I mean technically any energy resource is finite/non-renewable due to second law of thermodynamics. That doesn't mean anything in practice.

> Of course Google and Microsoft both punish me by sending my mail to spam (even years later) for using my own domain but that's what I'd expect from the big players.

If only they would send everything to spam. Microsoft outright blocks all mail from my VPS because some other IP on the block allegedly sent spam. Of course since I'm not running a commercial business I can just tell people to use a better mail provider if they want to create an account - not worth my time to deal with shitty megacorps.
Unfortunately the article doesn't mention anything about the expected lifetime of the new material. The biggest drawback of perovskite based solar cells is that the perovskite reacts with UV light which turns them brittle and thus severely limits the lifetime[1].

It's a false equivalency, air conditioning units are expensive, require extra lines, a bigger belt... Besides, it comes as standard on all models.. unlike heated seats. The radio would be a software update so I can't see how that would add any weight?

This is a cheap, weightless feature that is regularly retrofitted. Don't like the concept? Buy the heated seats outright when you spec the car, it'll get coded into your VO and you'll be able to use that feature right up until we run out of petrol.
How to Do Lead Ads for a Kickstarter Launch
AFAIK the only lawsuit that tests this so far was a kind of weird case where the programmer was trying to register his algorithm as the creator of the image, as a "work-for-hire". The copyright office's reasoning however banged on about the necessity of "human authorship"

> The Office also stated that it would not “abandon its longstanding interpretation of the Copyright Act, Supreme Court, and lower court judicial precedent that a work meets the legal and formal requirements of copyright protection only if it is created by a human author.”

The only reason we would consider a SPAC is to decrease time, but you do take a reputation hit. You also aren't building relationships with banks, which is very positive, again because it provides future financing needs which could be very useful during acquisitions.

Also, while the IPO process does take about a year, from start to finish, give or take a quarter, the conversation about an IPO starts well in advance. I think the the first time we met with Goldman Sachs was probably in 2017 or 2018 (don't quote me) to discuss IPO planning, and the company went public in 2021.

So while it does take longer through a traditional IPO, the conversation starts much, much earlier, and because it's a year long process, that's part of the planning as well, so it doesn't really come up as a year delay in the roadmap.

So we were already well in to our planning phase as the whole SPAC craze was hitting, and so there were only downsides to it, not real benefit or saving a quarter or two in terms of timing.
Not totally sure that languages are sequential (they are recursive and Turing complete… although declarative as well).

The actual sequential thing is consequence of states s0, s1, etc and the only deviation form sequence would be another timeline or state that did not produce.
> but no one in anywhere near the ability to store energy for a whole country for weeks in cold countries, when days are very short and wind can just decide to stop blowing

Sure they do, the storage is just called hydroelectricity. There are parts of the world (eg Tasmania) with months of energy storage.

For the realised cost of nuclear and construction timeframe of nuclear, you could build a resilient supply with a distributed transmission grid and a mix of batteries and pumped hydro.
My biggest gripe is the searching. Other systems let you say "search for videos with an animal".

HKSV is basically just a long list of videos that are hard to search through. Sure hope they fix that.
Wish I saved the link but recently there was an article documenting the exact opposite: every time somebody answers Russia's bluff, they back off and compromise.

My brother in law died last year and left over a hundred vintage computers and game consoles - mostly in boxes (stacks of Amigas) - it was hard for us to work out what was rare/valuable from what wasn't. He was also saving them for some mythical time in the future where he would sort them out and play with them.

At least find the time to open the boxes and document what you've got and whether it works. Ideally you'd find somewhere to put the cream of your collection - a cheap display/book case with glass doors doesn't take up too much room and an area nearby with a monitor/tv would mean it would be easier to play with them.

If you have a working Amiga 1000 or Apple 2 do you need another? Selling duplicates might fund purchases of different machines.

> Exoplanets are too far away and too small to image directly.

If you mean resolving details of the exoplanet, then yes that is currently true. But we have imaged exoplanets directly, meaning taken an image of a star where one can also see the planet directly in the image. [0] has a list of directly imaged exoplanets.

Off the top of my head, even in HTTPS the domain name isn't encrypted, which may be enough to make a good guess.

Or possibly just guessing without evidence because the sending cost of junk email is so low — looking at my junk mail folders, I have reason to believe they guess.

FWIW, I've heard of this type of attack (deliberately timed) being used during house purchases, with a fake destination bank message preceding the real message by a few minutes. Does anyone know if that's real or just an urban legend?
The life and death of Ivar Kreuger
https://archive.org/details/lifedeathofivark00stonrich

If you liked reading Lewis check out this book from 1932. Ivar Kreuger tried to buy up all the match factories in the world and create a monopoly for himself.
I suspect one of these factories will suffer a disastrous fire soon after opening and starting operations.
I ran into the exact same problem as the author and I fixed it by...reading the documentation.

In my case, a whole team of devs was using RMQ without knowing anything about it. Literally caused many sev-1 occurrences over the years until I resolved all of the issues. It took a datacenter migration that allowed me the opportunity to redesign the entire RMQ infrastructure before I was able to put the whole mess to bed.
Economics talked a lot about lighthouses historically, because they were the kind of thing that you couldnt stop people using once you'd built it. This meant there were less built than society might want. Solutions involve finding a way to make people pay and taxes are one such tool, either just general tax or taxing imports or something related to shipping.

Open source software is similar. I agree that its better for society, but there are two ways to achieve that. The bottom up approach of making it a better option (sometime with the extra stick/carrot of copyleft) or the top down approach, just mandate that any government bought software or any open standard need to be open source and usable by all since they all paid for it.

You can apply those same solutions to hardware and physical things, e.g. renters of housing often have various legal protections, but it varies by jurisdiction, you also have social housing where its lived in but not owned and the property value rises go back to the government.
A particularly egregious example is "Tell HN: Never search for domains on Godaddy.com" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24506303
I would be the wrong person to ask about that, as I tried to stay as far away from the details of that along with the low level details around finance. But basically as a public company there a bunch of regulations around a bunch of internal processes, think of it like having a process for how to create emails, or get rid of emails, or have communications, or do various number of internal things, or how you treat customer data.

It is a bit annoying, but ultimately reviewing how those systems are operated in the business and documenting them, while tedious, is a good idea because it allows you to review your security measures and you can use it as a catalyst to make changes and invest in areas that often get neglected in the product market fit/growth phase of a business.

So instead of looking at it as a burden, it becomes an opportunity to just improve internal controls.
I've tried BentoML recently and it worked for me far better than torchserve workflows. There are some early version flaws (documentation, changing API), but the community is very responsive on Github and on BentoML Slack.

btw: BentoML stands on its own legs and definitely doesn't need HN spam accounts to propagate it.
Forklift batteries! They're often available cheap, used from scrap yards; sometimes with much more life in them than you'd expect. They might just need more electrolyte. They're designed to be durable under harsh uses. They're often separated cells for easy maintenance and that makes it possible to hack them into different configurations.

Hacking high energy DC systems is perhaps a little more responsibility and risk than was desired tho.
Heh, its funny, whenever I see a video of an American with glasses, they don't have a reflective coating. I guess its too expensive over there. I have glasses which have reflective coating and photochromic coating. They're also made of titanium. Very light, despite being -4 or so. My wife has even worse than -4, and she enjoys the same. They're a tad more expensive, yes, and eventually the coating goes bad which with proper usage can be postponed for years (e.g. wear real sunglasses on beach).
Probably a roughly similar amount to what is created building a nuclear, or any other, power station.

What's your point?
The data supporting the negative effects of sleep deprivation are I think all observational, and most use self-reported sleep quality.

I remain very sceptical of such analyses due to confounding variables (eg people who sleep less are also less healthy in other ways) and reverse causation (eg dementia causes poor sleep not the other way around). Not to mention the almost useless nature of self reported data. Mendelian randomisation studies are a much better way to look at these questions. I could only find one study and it is far from compelling for a link between sleep and dementia: https://academic.oup.com/ije/article/50/3/817/5956327
> But now that crypto crashed

That is plain and simple corruption; it wouldn't be that different from everyone at the table telling the manager "the bill is zero for all of us, or we and all our friends leave one star reviews".
Crypto is a system of perfect logic built on the foundation of a few flawed assumptions.

Relying on YouTube videos that anyone can create is highly suspect and should be easily recognized as a logical discrepancy/potential fallacy by otherwise intelligent technical people.

The fact that it is not points out a huge hole in their education, reasoning and thinking process. It is the end result of being highly trained but poorly educated in my opinion. Quite simply, many crypto cultists failed to grasp the overall limits of their own knowledge and control and paid a heavy price for it.
> Here in Australia there's not much in the way of technology museums.

It sounds like you live in one. Seriously, you say that you don't have the means to display the equipment, but maybe a university or non-technology museum might be happy to maintain a technology exhibit.
A bit of an odd response. I neither "like" or "dislike" any "answers" to lifecycle analysis.

What I definitely do not "like" is the dismissal of nuclear by saying "nuclear waste" without considering all the forms of waste associated with other supposedly "greener" solutions.

Solar panels and the stands they are placed are shipped (half way round the world) wrapped in acres of plastic, cardboard and polystyrene for shipping that is then just discarded at worst, and possibly partly recycled at best. Broken wind turbines, which happens frequently, are often just buried, and so on. Digging the raw materials out of the ground and refining them causes waste. Doping chemicals to get the rare earths cause waste. Just because in the West we recycle much of this, doesn't mean that, in the race to the bottom, factories in Asia aren't just dumping this stuff out of sight.

At least CSS animation is optional. I have the following in chrome/userContent.css in my Firefox profile directory:

@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);

*, :before, :after {
transition: none !important;
animation-delay: 0ms !important;
animation-duration: 0ms !important;
}

This also requires setting toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets to true in about:config

As far as I can tell this doesn't break anything important. I also have the same in chrome/userChrome.css (without the namespace header), which occasionally breaks the tab bar in what looks like a race condition bug, but it's still worth it IMO.
Yes, we already have spatial audio working in Element Call (see https://element.io/blog/element-call-beta-2-encryption-spati...) - so this will come automatically when video/voice rooms in element start using Element Call.
From the gocryptfs homepage

> Linux is fully supported. Beta-quality MacOS support is available, which means things usually work fine, but you may hit the odd issue (please file a ticket if you do!).

> Third-party implementations exist for for

> Windows: cppcryptfs
> Android: DroidFS

So gocryptfs has only beta support of Mac and no first party support for Windows/Android, and no support of iOS.

On the other hand, Cryptomator has first party support for all these platforms.

Based on the above, I don’t think that gocryptfs is really in the same space as Cryptomator which provides easy to use encrypted folders across all the major platforms that most people use.
Show HN: App to help with planning, producing, reviewing, and publishing video
Hey everyone, I've started working on an app to help companies, freelancers, and even individual content creators plan, produce, review, and publish their videos and streams in a more organised way. We're just getting started so not trying to sell anything at this point, but I do need feedback on where we're headed.

I recorded a video walkthrough of some mock-ups at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTtB_EkUA-M, or you can take a look at them yourself at https://www.synura.com/mockups/ (it is somewhat self-explanatory, but in the video I add more context). You can think of it as a potentially better, more organised alternative to having a bunch of stuff in random Google Docs and other places that you have to pass back and forth. I also eventually expect to add a lot of automatic post-processing type features (captioning, lighting/sound adjustments, "umm" removal, etc.) for people who don't know how to do that on their own.

Any kind of feedback at all is welcome, positive or negative, on whether there's an idea here that you think I could develop into something people would pay for, or if there's something you'd like to see in an app like this. Thanks in advance!

> Then you are doing politics and not history.

History is politics.

Later edit: A very big, substantial, part of it, anyway. It is my belief that ignoring that aspect has brought lots of misunderstandings when it comes to history, both on how it is taught and on how it is perceived.
Why would the state permit anonymity?

They've done everything they could in the last 20 years to detract anonymity and privacy as much as possible, in collusion with the largest companies that exist.
Are you suggesting to bind to localhost in addition to a firewall, or are you anti-firewall?

The firewall solution to a new/unexpected open port is a default deny rule. That's a commonly used best practice. There's nothing to forget.

I'm guessing it's about 1-2 months away. The hard bit is that we need to effectively have Element Call share the same matrix client as Element itself does, in order to embed Call into Element effectively. We call this matryoshka embedding, and it's looking promising to get it working in the next week or two, and then will need to actually update all three Element clients (Web, Android & iOS) to support it.

Obviously folks can also just click into a standalone Element Call to make it work (plus Hydrogen is also adding native Matrix calling).

Element Call doesn't currently need any custom server - it just uses your existing homeserver; Synapse, Dendrite, Conduit etc. However, it only scales up to 7-8 users - to go beyond that we'll need to add a SFU, which we're also working on.
Reminds me of how certain folks inside and outside of the media argued that media bias is impossible to completely eradicate thus the media should go all-in on its biases. According to them, the pursuits of objectivity and neutrality hold no value unless they can be perfected.
I've definitely used UIs that have these issues, but I can't say the Windows start menu is one of them generally.
The idea that "settings" would be a folder seems quite unintuitive/jarring to me now.
