Hi HN, my startup is bootstrapping a programming language that abstracts over client/server network datasync by building it into the language/runtime itself, like how Java abstracts over memory management.

How did Java grow? IIUC Sun Microsystems developed hardware and wanted userspace applications written for other platforms to work on their platform. But nobody wants to switch out their core programming stack. How did they do it? Was this fully about 1995-era web vendors trying to write portable web application servers that their customers/developers wanted to be portable across servers? In other words, Sun got super lucky and Java doesn't happen without the web happening coincidently?
The title of this post doesn't match what the article is reporting; the poll is about the timing and method of human creation, not planetary creation.
mpv is the successor to mplayer2, which was the successor of mplayer.
Two categories of confusion most likely:

Clever.
You have to understand though that Italians are predisposed to rip into all non-Italian food whenever they get the chance, even if it's better than the native Italian version.

Americans just have different tastes/cultures regarding coffee in general. Many of us (including myself) prefer a dark roast, it's nostalgic, consistent, and goes good with a generous amount of milk. I don't care if it's "hiding the flavor of the bad coffee" or whatever, I just like it. I've had coffee all over the world but I grew up with shitty burnt gas station coffee and instant coffee (or even cowboy coffee) made in a tin can over a campfire, and that's just as legitimate a culture as whatever the Italians are doing with their fancy espresso machines.
I don't think Basic Income will save anything.
I think its very likely creativity and consciousness are probably tied together.

We might be very well on the way to making humans beings as a whole obsolete.
Non-expert Human Labor has been devalued by robotic automation, and now Human minds might be devalued by AI's.
The 10K years bit is in the question Gallup asks. However, it's posed about humans in their current form, not the Earth.

Note: as I'm commenting, the post title reads "40% of Americans believe the Earth was created within the last 10k years".
Why do people post this nonsense? Are you hoping to gawk at your outgroup and their silly ideas? You learn nothing by doing that. You'd be better off looking at yourself and questioning what equally silly ideas you hold.
> not the 10k years bit

What do you mean? The question they asked included ‘within 10,000 years’.
Transgendered men can become pregnant, yes. Literally.
I am just its (mostly happy) user. I wrote that rule on my phone so you are right, it is not complete. On the other hand raw sockets require CAP_NET_RAW capability which is often assigned to root only so running a capability-untreated binary as an unprivileged user should not allow any raw socket ops (ping often uses file capabilities or setuid root).

AFAIK it requires root to load/reload profiles. And that is fine for me, my use-case is hardening of services running on my server.

For ad-hoc restriction of untrusted software you can already use stuff like FireJail https://firejail.wordpress.com/

But I agree that software developers know their software the best so they should be the ones writing the rules and ideally configure them depending on automake/configure paths (i.e. different PREFIX, this software/profile separation is annoying) but pledge() looks too old and non-flexible for such a job IMO. Most software need file ops but don't need to write everywhere.
The mental gymnastics are outstanding.
Are you saying trans men aren't men, or was there some crazy survey data I missed?
At least it's just a library and not a standard, but yes similar logic applies.
> How will you handle users who have javascript disabled?

They won't/can't. Their only real options are to fallback to either the "text" field or the "numeric" field.

> Why reinvent the wheel? Why not fix whatever problem you have with numeric input?

JS devs will prioritize chasing after their ideal UIX long before they consider things like JS being disabled, screen readers, ARIA tags, cross-platform compatibility, etc.

There's countless replacements for long-supported HTML input fields that still get active development: date pickers, numeric inputs, sliders, you name it. If it exists in the base W3C spec someone has likely reinvented the wheel for every purpose from pixel-perfect skeuomorphism, to aggressive input masking, to "instant feedback," to vaguely claiming "you cannot trust the number input" - the list goes on and on.

---

OP if you're reading this - I hope you're considering JS being disabled (graceful + functional fallbacks), ARIA, aggressive cross-platform testing, and testing with real screen readers. If you aren't, this is not an accessible service.
It’s hard to imagine democracy continuing in an uploaded minds/super intelligence scenario. Either we get an ai decision maker scenario or everyone lives in their own matrix/joins someone else’s and whoever created it makes the rules.

It’s conceivable that you join a matrix whose creator has set it up as a democracy I suppose.
And yet here we are clicking a floppy disk icon to save it. Language and meaning change over time. That's OK.
I am most concerned about political and nation-state uses of this technology.
The editorialized submission title doesn't match the actual article title:

"40% of Americans Believe in Creationism"

Much less sensational.
On the contrary, we have ample evidence from biology that every species destroys its own habitat if it's actions are not checked by some kind of feedback mechanism, like predation. Humans no longer have such a feedback mechanism, and we're seeing the results in the destruction of our habitat in climate change.
40% of Americans believe they can move a mountain with a mustard seed worth of belief
I have no idea but anyway he has a device that shows his calls/message/data/etc… on the wrist, visible to everyone. Not very safe, at least for the privacy.
Same, when I’ve had conversations with friends and family I’ve boiled my stance down to “I believe God created us, but I don’t know when or how long ago it was.”
I rebuilt Segment.com Usage-Based Pricing in 2 days
'Belief' is a squirrely concept. How much of this is them professing to believe it vs actually believing it? I have a strong suspicion that people answer these sorts of questions by mapping "what kind of person I am" to "what would a person of that kind in good standing answer". But this is different than acting in accordance with the belief when there are material stakes.

Suppose we had a prediction market on these beliefs (ironically, I suppose it would have to be adjudicated by God himself), would 40% of Americans really bet significant sums on creationism? Again, assuming all they stood to gain or lose was material and none of their friends and family need known what stance they took?
Amur Honeysuckle, though its sort of more of a shrub.
I know you're looking for idealogical reasons, but the answer is because it's the law of the land and failure to do so will result in state sanction.
I know he's lying by this: mind uploading is unpossible. It would have to be body uploading. Mind is the body, mind is an attribute of the organism, of the life. You are your body, there is no escape, although the body might have autonomized emergent psychoplasmic non - physical properties that survive physical death. Even if the replica made by the "Brain Uploader" conman were to be somehow conscious it would not be you, you would still just be at the pay end of that electrocution doohickey.
50% of people are dumber than average.
> It’s a form builder with a built in No Code Rules Engine.

Wait... What?

Is that a name that people use in a non-sarcastic way?
The "AI battle" only rages for those who don't make AI; those that write AI know that battle is lost, we will not have an AGI in our lifetimes. We lack fundamental components, such as artificial comprehension. Lacking any form of comprehension, weak or not, all AI technology can ever produce is idiot savants and personality theater. It is not capable of writing original software, beyond the use of pre-composable components, because lacking comprehension it is not writing anything. At the most it can predict given a lot of examples of similar, but it still does not comprehend its own predictions.

AI is a tool for creative people to use, it cannot replace them, unless you want a really boring product, because by design AI rehashes and recombines, it does not have a create capability in its capacity. To create requires comprehension, and lacking comprehension it is just mimicry.
> I tried out the demo and was dissapointed that for number inputs a regular `<input type="text">` is used. This removes any option to add numbers by using the arrow up keys on a keyboard.

Do not ever use the number input type, for any purpose.

If you have a number element on your form, people will accidentally mangle their own inputs, because the value in such an element silently changes when you use the mouse wheel.
I have the impression that the “Ten Thousand” [1] effect has increased quite significantly in the last couple of months.

I have seen multiple submissions from different users pointing to homepages of software that is already very popular. I guess this is a sign that the current most active Hacker News users are also in the youngest age group, which makes all these programs look new.

Just the other day someone posted about the Vala programming language [2].

SpaceVIm [3], although, this was mostly a 2.0 release announcement.

I wonder if Hacker News administrators have considered creating a separate page for these submissions to keep the front page clean. Basically, put previously-submitted links into a “revival” page, and novelty links in the “new” page.

I'm talking about action to combat climate change.

If you're talking about the sub-sub-set of that which is disposable electronics containing lithium cells, we were talking past each other.
> “I believe God created us, but I don’t know when or how long ago it was.”

But that’s a separate option in the poll - they could have picked that if that’s what they believe.
I totally agree with you, but the common "this is why we can't have nice things" end result of such scenarios is that people will VPN via India in order to buy your product. And then you have to identify VPNs in order to avoid this, etc.

I don't have a solution for this, I just think the effort/reward should be considered.
It's easy to avoid mental gymnastics if you just turn off your brain...
I agree that the horse picture sucks. Other people might say that they like Dall-E’s output on Twitter, for signalling purposes, but I still think they don’t really believe that.

Still, it’s only a matter of time till nicer graphics are possible. Most graphic designers and artists are still worse than this thing, especially the type that bought a $200 drawing tablet on Amazon and sell their services on Fiverr. Those people are no better than Dall-E, just like most copywriters are no better than GPT-3.

Even if they are in fact better it’s only a few years till that changes. Deepmind can train a new model faster than you can go back to grad school.
Maybe of interest: Even Youtube has RSS for channels. If your RSS reader does not pick up the relevant tag, the URL is https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=$ID with $ID starting with `UC`, e.g. https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UCVogAsA... for "ARTE.tv documentaries".

I am not a PM, so at least I found this definition and mental model useful.
Why is no one commenting on this answer!
Definitely fake. I've never met anyone who believes this and I'm willing to bet you haven't either. We're supposed to believe that what 150 million people believe that? I know tons of devout religious people and have not heard them say that they believe that to be a fact.
Hmm. 'Most' isn't the same as 'entirely'.
the actual article title does not convey all of the information in the article, which says 40% believe in a strictly creationist view that humans were created in their current form around 10,000 years ago
US to Resume International Space Station Flights with Russia
Seems a little high to me, but really, so what? Let people believe in whatever religion they wanna believe as long as they don't hurt anybody.
I think what worries people is the low effort it required. This guy was unlikely to strap a bomb to himself or hijack a plane, but he could do considerable damage from behind a computer. The asymmetry of personal sacrifice and external harm is such that fewer extremists are deterred from participating. The solution is to remove the asymmetry. In most cases, the police could solve this by simply slowing down and thinking for two seconds before shooting someone.
Very good.

Because it sheds light on the American political situation by highlighting a surprising set of facts that many people in educated tech circles may not be aware of.

Not a complete solution to your problem, but the New York Times at least offers different RSS feeds for different sections.

So you can have a different feed for Science and Technology, and one for Australia, and one for New York. By not using the front page firehose, you can keep the number of inbound articles to a more manageable level.
Designing something that breaks the law, does not mean you don't have to enforce the law, or that the law needs to be updated and "made compatible"

If I sold a car that was deliberately unsafe, I wouldn't expect people to come to my company's defense and say that being safe in my car isn't possible and therefor the law is outdated and not compatible with current technology.
I was raised Christian so even though you learn that Earth was billions of years ago, when I was asked by my friends or teacher I would answer sometime in the last 10k years. A part of me was signaling and another part of me was trying to balance facts vs. faith.
I know it can’t be that offensive because I’m not exactly in the ultarich group and I’m comfortable extending a bit of cognitive empathy their way.

The onus is on you to explain why certain groups of people cannot be analyzed like another group of people. And why different standards of analysis should apply to different groups.
This isn’t the first security software to be called Satan— I remember reading about one back in the 90s for breaking into networks. I guess it’s been long enough that it wouldn’t cause any confusion.

Can you elaborate on what you mean by "without some significant improvement in distributed systems theory"? If it's as you suggest, that it's the work culture which hold back Google and Microsoft, I don't see how improvements to distributed systems theory would result in ever passing AWS or its market share.
Absolutely. I've got one of these: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ailanthus_altissima in the back yard that I need to take a saw (and likely more drastic measures) to.

"No code"? Yes.
This is how I feel about Apple.
That's 140 million people. That's 140 million potential voters. It's amazing how well democracies work considering this. I mean that's a pretty drastic example. Imagine for something more obscure and nuanced. It goes to show the power that media, social media, etc. can have on controlling thought. I doubt all those people were born with this opinion.
The title matches the first paragraph of the report pretty closely imo:

“Forty percent of U.S. adults ascribe to a strictly creationist view of human origins, believing that God created them in their present form within roughly the past 10,000 years.”
Sybil attacking democracy with digital personhood is a super cool idea. Would be a great premise for a story.
This is the most Silicon Valley answer.
Point-free style can be useful as an intermediate step when refactoring, since making code point-free (a) is largely mechanical (although judgement can still useful to avoid horrible results!), and (b) removes many of the abstractions and variable names in the code.

The latter are often historical baggage, telling us what the code used to do, or was meant to do; whilst a point-free version shows us more directly what it actually does.

If the point-free version makes sense as-is, we can leave it; but that's rarely the case. Usually, we'll introduce a few abstractions and variables; but this time they'll be more appropriate for the current codebase.
it is easier to solve a problem when you can grasp the magnitude of it

I feel like there needs to be a way to exclude videos with over 100k or 1 million views.

I'm having immense difficulty discovering new and interesting content, because the top 20-30 videos are always clickbaity shorts or irrelevant (but several million views)

Don't care about the downvotes too much. I can usually tell within 3-4 seconds if the video is what I'm looking for or not.

Yikes, that sounds like an oversight! Aren't topic configs written to a system topic that you could consume from?
If everyone is convinced I’m not sure he is lying. What’s the difference between a perfect simulation of a kind and the mind itself?
If you count "having few male friends with whom you often spend personal time" as lonely, then I am definitely lonely. If you consider lonely to mean "feeling of a hole or gap in your personal/social life", then no. I am not lonely, whatsoever.

Different people need different amounts and types of social interaction in their lives. Where I'm at in my life, I'm very comfortable, happy, and content. Closing in on 40 with my wife and recently-adult child, and with the rest of my family (who I rarely see, as many are out of state). I have a small handful of male friends in other states that I see once or twice a year. Otherwise, I've mostly fallen out of touch with male friends, and that doesn't bother me. And that's me/personally ~ I'm not suggesting that this should or should not be acceptable to others.

Just saying: The threat facing middle-age men is loneliness (as the article states), not lack of male friends per-se. I fit the description of the men in the article, but I am not lonely now. Perhaps, in a few years, I will realize that my priorities change, that I am lonely then, and I will resent my 30s self for allowing so few male friendships to grow and flourish.
Game review: Stray redefines the adventure genre with a cat’s-eye view
5G is a govt project to control people, earth is flat and vaccines have embedded chips and cause autism. TRUMP is the chosen one, and he will deliver us all. If these crazy things are wild in America I guess existence of earth since 10K years is not a big deal.
While we all are busy with this BS, the capitalists and lobbyists silently push their hidden agendas and we loose.
I'm scared of a future in which uploading minds into computers and precisely simulating them becomes possible.

The concept of "the right to life" has been widely discussed.

I think there's an important right that all of us should also have - the right to die.
If I want to stop living, I should be able to stop living. Nobody should be able to force me to continue living (and possibly suffering).

When we're able to copy someone's mind exactly and save it in a computer, and then replicate it endlessly, we take away that person's right to die.
We enter the dark world shown in some episodes of Black Mirror (e.g. White Christmas or Black Museum) - where any person can hold a mini computer with a copy of someone else's mind where that someone is being constantly tortured. They can't even die. They are forced to suffer.

This possibility terrifies me to the point where I would consider killing myself (in a way that irrecoverably destroys my brain) just to prevent my mind from being copied.
Yes, trans men are not men. They are women who believe they are men.

Not really: the title of this submission editorializes the original title changing the very concepts. The term 'Earth' does not even appear in the article body.

I usually do 60 minutes. I'm not desperate enough to check every 5 or 10 minutes. I've come across a few websites that block you if you refresh too frequently. I'm not sure whether those ones still do that though.
Neat! I just did a fast.com speed test with 3/4 bars of 4G and got 60 Mbps!

I didn't do a speed test, but I spent the weekend in an area where I was getting 1 bar and probably 5 Mbps if that.

I am not a fan of elitism shown by the millennials and Gen Z calling out religious people. Although the age of organized religion is probably over, religion by faith will have its place for a while.

Is there any historical precedent for a short term, big dive in the wages of a certain sector based on a 20% decline in demand for that labor? If that were the expected outcome, wouldn't one have predicted that the economy-wide declines in the workforce in the Great Recession would have sunk wages?

And that's the problem. A lot of wield these beliefs like weapons and go out of their way to cause pain.
DALL·E 2 and Transcendence
Completely unnecessary assumption to hold. It creates more problems than it explains. Try this thought experiment: Assume there is no God. Everything makes a lot more sense, and you have a simpler theory.
No. We love customers who don’t need to grow beyond the free tier. What I mean is people exploiting free compute for crypto mining, phishing, botnets, cp, hacking, etc. The efforts/systems necessary, and business decisions around the free-tiers businesses have are directly impacted by the time-space spent on keeping things safe from fraudsters. It’s wild.
