Hi, between my options to go for a masters in Machine Learning, Distributed systems, Theoretical computer science/algos, Which would you pick if your goal was to build a search engine?
> Humans are fundamentally solitary. That is our nature

Amazing, every word of what that guy said is wrong.

Maybe he was actually talking about cats, that would make sense. But humans literally can't function outside of a society.
Honestly, it's a bit surprising that people find this surprising. Orcas are air-breathing mammals, and conscious breathers at that. They kill other mammals, namely whales, often by drowning them intentionally. They know what drowning is.

The other is that these are massive animals placed in water prisons, constantly exposed to the sun and concrete and fed fish they wouldn't eat in the wild. It would be like putting a human in a small 3'x3' box with the top exposed to the sun and fed dog food and then being surprised that they're on edge.

That orca definitely killed the trainer on purpose or did it in a way such that it didn't care whether she lived or died and was releasing frustration. An orca could bite a human in half in the same way that a human can bite through jello, which shows that the orca was displaying frustration and exasperation. Orcas have committed suicide while in captivity, by intentionally and repeatedly ramming their heads into the concrete walls to cause brain hemorrhages or starving themselves.

To be frank, it is mindblowing to me that people view these incidences as examples of orca intelligence rather than exhibitions of human cruelty and unintelligence.
I was a paid Fastmail user for something like 3 or 4 years, largely as a consequence of the good standing they seemed to have among the audience on HN. Deliverability (and uptime) with Fastmail is excellent.

However, during that time I filed two support tickets and neither left me feeling particularly warm and fuzzy about the faces behind the business that I was pledging my annual subscription to. The response in the latter instance in fact was so bad that it's what motivated me to look elsewhere rather than renew. I was prepared to pay more just to know that I wasn't doing business with bullies/jerks. I ended up going with a smaller provider. Without checking, my annual expenses are actually around half as much, IIRC.
> Anything via IM is treated as fleeting, and if I don't get to it now it's forgotten.

Agree on this - I'll reply to emails I got weeks ago when I finally get around to dealing with them. I've never responded to a chat message more than a day old (unless I've been offline for an extended period).
Not as exciting as Laozi but I'll take it. Jimmy R deserves credit where credit is due.
> You can always file an Inter Partes Review at the patent office to attack any patent.

I see. So that sounds like the simplest, clearest course. Presumably it's in practice the most difficult, expensive and time-consuming route.
This certainly would seem to be the next logical move for the prestige journals. However, in the long term I think this decision to provide open access to the research allows new journals to compete on a more even footing, especially with the emergence of publishing and peer review services like Scholastica. Over time, a thoughtfully curated journal with advantages in speed, cost, editorial focus, peer review process, etc. may be able to overcome the journals whose advantage lie primarily in prestige & gate-keeping.
Im affiliated with a company that makes one. We create a vector search engine called Weaviate [1] we also publish content on how it's done and the search engine itself is open source which might be helpful for you too.

> has the same per-mile maintenance and replacement costs.

No it doesn't, the cost to tear up a street in a high density area is much higher than it is in a low density area, especially if we are looking at hidden economic costs.
Someone could just as easily make a website dedicated to failed react stories. ymmv on any tech.
I would recommend at least trying the big names - shouldn't be much to buy a few of them.
Ask HN: What are some good alternatives to Heroku?
Think even Azure has a (crappy) free app engine offering as well
In the context of a game engine, I mean. You may be sharing a model or texture between multiple entities, and want to know when it’s no longer in use.
So has C, and most other popular languages. Doesn't mean they don't have issues, often dangerous issues.
I bike thousands of miles a year. I love it. I also don't want to bike to grocery stores and restaurants. Sweaty in the summer, and we get -30F in the winter and our city tends to be very windy with wind chills down to -60F.
Same. I've spent a number of nights trying variations on the install instructions. Got the windows CUDA drivers (older graphics card), but no matter what I try, conda, or WSL, pytorch refuses to see the CUDA available.
Nothing wrong with small and boring, but even boring suburbs should have a grocery store within walking distance of most houses, which they mostly don't in the US.
Thanks! While we do have ads in the free version, there's no sharing of any user account data with third parties. We strictly do not share/sell any user data, and treat all user data with the same care as the user data that would fall under HIPAA standards.
Maybe you think that because the only dense urban living options available to you are the car hellscapes?

I've been raised in Warsaw (a dense capital of Poland). I've had good schools within walking distance. I've had access to quiet green spaces within walking and biking distance (they weren't paved over for parking lots). I've had lots of places to hang out with my friends, who lived nearby, or whom I could reach myself via frequent, reliable, and affordable public transport.

And Warsaw wasn't a particularly utopian city. Just built with decent public transport and without NIMBY zoning policies.
A sad day for my hobby projects. Can we list any free alternatives for hosting app servers that get very little traffic?
You can just photoshop / modify parts of the generated image and it could then be copyrighted
This is what it is for me.

Take, for instance, a company like Crutchfield. Their entire call center is based out of New Jersey or something like that. The important part is that it's in-house. They are all extremely knowledgeable and powerful to help you out.

If it's out-sourced to another company or country, the result is the same. They mostly can't do anything.
Astonishing, thanks for sharing!
Obviously they didn't make that much on Heroku but they don't report per-division numbers as far as I could find, just top-level.

My point is they have the money to invest in Heroku if they wanted to. To combat fraud/abuse, to breathe some life into it, to respond to security events quicker, to innovate, to be competitive. They've done none of those things and instead are cutting off the last funnel of people who "choose" to use their platform. That tells me they don't care about Heroku as anything more than "Salesforce Cloud" something people almost have to use rather than choose.
Yes, it is similar to the process from donating plasma. The research doesn't cover whole blood donation.
Latest estimation is that that are only 3500 great whites with more then 300+ recorded attacks, excluding other types of sharks.

Next to that Orcas frequently interact with humans, more than sharks. For instance as this article describes, they are quite active in the tiny mediterranean sea. Which some human even swim across (60 attempts per year).

Also they live close to the surface, they need to breath every 5-15 minutes. And just as sharks they enjoy Sea Lions, which sharks often confuse with humans.
Recently installed YaCy on my Synology via docker image the provide. Already saved about 10Gb of content interesting to me. Now, I have a personal Search Engine. Awesome.
I wish more people in the tech spoke up against DIE. Corporations are acting as a proxy of Government policies that do not pass the muster of legislative process. It is seems like either 1) Everyone is brainwashed by the woke religion or 2) People know it is malicious but don't have the courage to speak up.

Of all the people, I would expect technologists to have a very straight forward, rational and objectivist perspective, but I am realizing that it might not be the case.
Nonsense. The goal of a driving instructor is to teach how to behave on the road, not how to cajole your car into not giving up on you.

The pupil can do that on their on time, on the first shitbox they acquire. If you want to learn how to start an 037 without stripping the gear feel free to do that.
Discord has a significant malware problem. Threat actors use their CDNs for malware storage and Discord has been very lax in addressing this. A lot of companies don't allow it to be installed and block Discord and its CDNs because of it.
It's not scientific, it's an archetypal divinatory system. Ptolemy attempted to cast astrology into a scientific model, but underneath it is something different.
Not if that room was full of REIT managers. They sometimes hold empty units to boost the prices of the others. Essentially constricting the supply side for larger margins.

It seems prices have risen just about everywhere. Even rural raw land has gone up substantially in the past couple years (what I'm interesed). It should be no surprise with inflation, the increase in the money supply, and some increase in wages, that real assets are "expensive".

It's a great idea, but unless they start by making it a real and popular email service first, it will be blocked by most websites very soon.
That’s great to hear! Thanks for the reply.
Hasura does not offer syncing.

Syncing is hard :)
It doesn't matter if it makes him more powerful or weaker or anything.

Its extremely dangerous to let these companies become the modern public square because deplatforming people on places like youtube and social media basically ends up censoring them.

They essentially have the first amendment stripped because we put it in the hands of private companies.

I think social medias should be forced to conform to certain rules such as not banning viewpoints they don't like UNLESS they are dangerous (terrorism, extremism, etc.)

I hate seeing this kind of thing happen and I don't even like tate.
> Use Absolute Paths for Importing Code Blocks

import { FormType } from '../../../../types/form';
import { DateType } from '../../../../types/date';

// This is considered bad practice

Disagree on this one. Beauty of typescript is giving you auto-import autocompletion in your editor, and not having to worry about relative paths any more. I don't think I've manually written an import statement in years.

> Are you saying that you think DIE is justified in government, universities and private institutions? Trying to understand your position here

Sorry, as I mentioned, it's not my intention to state my position on DIE here.

> Why do you think public universities and schools are not government? They are under political founding, oversight, funding, and control so that doesn't make sense to me.

You're binarizing things that aren't binary. It depends a lot on what you're talking about. e.g., K-12 and graduate school are not the same in this regard, and different universities/states are different. Public universities have quite a bit of independence from the government and politics; sometimes this is even literally written in the state constitutions. Moreover, institutions have lots of different funding sources. You can't just point at "the government is funding this therefore this is the government". The actual influence the government exerts on an entity compared to all the other influences on that entity is a huge factor here.

> What is the correct criterion in your opinion?

The influence has to be "large", for some sensible definition of large. That definition should probably compare the influence with other sources of influence somehow.

And if you're making a sweeping statement about the whole country, the criterion should probably include something that applies to a large chunk of the relevant institutions in the country.

> It also describes any product or company that doesn't sell at fixed price and optimizes revenue

It's the name of a model. Monopoly is a simplifying assumption as one need not consider the dynamics of price changes in a competitive system.

> set your price to maximize total revenue, whether that is positive or negative

Not always! Scaling costs aren't always linear. And service quality isn't inelastic. The revenue-maximizing price may be one at which you're losing money or delivering a shoddy product that will degrade your customer base in the long run.

> What I am opposing is the idea that researchers should be completely disinterested in, even ignore, what other elements are interested in their work and how they might use it.

Why?

> The consensus in this comment section is that that sort of ignorance is itself an ideal, and I think that's very wrong and has lead to obvious harms in the past.

You think that because you have biases, like all humans do. You say harms can arise. Let’s try to do an exercise. It’s the late 40s early 50s and research is finally starting to show there are, in fact, no real biological races of humans. We are one human race. The dutiful scientist at that time considers the society he is in, the notions of morality he has and decides it would be harmful to publish his research. Who knows what some crazy extremists will do with this fact. They might give the blacks rights, they might rile them up, they might they might even allow miscegenation! Bear in mind, all these were societal harms at that time!

Is this the future you wish? Or this scenario doesn’t count because it’s the wrong politics? Have we found the end all be all of morality and must now protect it at all costs, even from facts if need be?

> Research on any domain of human activity is a political act and produces a political product, the researchers need to be aware of that and actively participate in that part of the process as well

I disagree. The way I see it, there is no politics in science. Science is not a set of beliefs. It’s a process. It’s a method of observing empirical reality and producing methods to describe it.

> Wishing or pretending it were otherwise is dangerous.

For whom?

Sorry for mansplaining if you already know this.

If the car was in an accident and the aircon doesn't work anymore, it means the gas loop is leaking. You can try to refill it but depending on the size of the leak it's going to work for a few hours to maybe a couple of days. You should evacuate the loop and do a vacuum test. If it is leaking, refilling the system with some added dye can show you where it is leaking. The Schrader valves are the usual suspects but as the car has been in an accident it could be anywhere. Adding refrigerant to a leaking system is just blowing away money that could be used to actually fix the aircon properly.
Does it make images of lesser quality or does it just take longer for the same quality?
In the meantime, you can pay either Apple or Fastmail for this feature as part of their larger product offerings. Maybe there are other paid services which offer this as a feature. These are just the ones I'm aware of.
This is cool - but I feel like to do this well you need to co-mingle valid and masked emails on the same domain. Otherwise services can and will prevent folks from signing up with @duck.com emails.

Apple does this well with their email masking service; all emails have an @icloud.com domain, the same as primary emails. A service can't simply block @icloud.com without blocking millions of primary/default addresses.
It seems like the impacts seem to be happening as the auto drive is in the process of disengaging itself and is decelerating to do so, according to the article. That seems like a grey area, but lets say that this is advertised as full autopilot without the need for human intervention (which it is). Then, a case where this autopilot stops working that leads to an accident is still a serious problem - considering the claims by Tesla

How can they claim full automatic piloting when the system could turn off when the area you’re driving in isn’t mapped by them?

This is based on the articles anyway
That's a disingenuous take if I've ever seen one. The same people who have been pushing for overturning Roe have stated their next target is a federal ban. Acting like there isn't a concerted effort to do so by people in positions of power, is just burying your head in the sand.
Hi thank you for your answer. Actually my original idea was to build it for something else rather than the web in particular. Can you please advice me on which masters I should pick between distributed systems , machine learning and theoretical computer science/algorithm if my end goal is this?
Ahh gotcha - boy, I wish we had different words for “centralized insane governmental politics” and “politics as in affairs of the city” haha
I think you could solve this with a `sale_id` for grouping transactions together, no?

The benefit of row-level guarantees on balancing is considerable, even if it somewhat complicates the application layer (the layer that translates your first ledger into your second ledger, and vice versa).

If you're storing a transaction that needs to balance across N rows, the only solution is at the "application level" (i.e. a stored procedure, or some middleware in code), which is unfortunately more difficult to reason about.
Attempting a serious answer, because I agree most things can be run on a Pi and be fine.

Let's say you're a developer who's comfortable making Docker containers and running them locally. One day, you learn that you could go to Azure|Google|$OTHER and spin up something called Kubernetes, push your container, and now you get a trove of features like scaling, availability, health checks, the safety that you can lose a node and stay online. That sounds appealing to me. Of course, the marketing materials are never the same as where the rubber meets the road, but you stand up your service and all is well.

It's an appealing offer. It's why people use Heroku. If all you have to do is one-click a cluster and go, why wouldn't you want to do that?

I've been using DPDM: https://github.com/acrazing/dpdm

These are my package.json scripts for detecting cycles:

"cycles": "run-p cycles:client cycles:server",
"cycles:client": "dpdm client/src/\*/\*.ts --exit-code circular:1",
"cycles:server": "dpdm server/src/server.ts --exit-code circular:1",

The exit code is set like that so that the CI will fail on cycles, since we run this in our CI build.

I also hear people use ESLint, probably this: https://github.com/import-js/eslint-plugin-import/blob/main/...

The fact that the compiler itself doesn't error on cycle imports, and that the errors caused by those imports are so opaque, seems like an oversight to me.
Otherwise, in the long run, all images will blend to 18% grey.
Lua is one of those amazing technologies that one wonders why it isn't just about everywhere.

Complex configuration files, embedded scripts, even browser scripting should all have been done in Lua.

(Or Lisp, but people have less of a visceral reaction when they see Lua syntax)

Theoretically some Common Lisp implementations could have GC disabled. Like you, I have not tried that in practice.
An ethical route would have been the decent approach even if it took a little longer.

Those sort of tactics bring the whole system into disrepute. It's similar to when cops plant evidence on a criminal for whom they suspect but don't have sufficient evidence to convict.

It's better to let a criminal go free than for due process to be fucked up and have people lose faith and trust in it. Loss of trust can spread like wildfire and overall much more damage is done.
having ADHD I really cant express how frustrating it is knowing that others are able to simply choose to maintain focus on something. i have never had the ability to control that. sometimes it happens, and i never get to choose when it happens.

what could i have accomplished in my life if i had the power to choose to focus on one thing for more than a couple of minutes? i could have accomplished a lot more than i have accomplished, i assure you of that.

once in a while, maybe 2-3 times per year, my brain starts focusing on something i want or need to focus on, and this is an absolutely magical time for me. i progress toward my goals on that topic so quickly when this happens, and i learn so much, but it never lasts. subsequently, i have a lot of shallow understanding of many things that i have been able to focus on previously, and almost zero deep understanding on anything, because the power to focus usually only lasts a week or two.

i guess this is why ADHD is defined as a disabling medical condition in the US. it really is a severe handicap to one’s abilities.
This just comes across as mean-spirited.

Even if you think it's a net positive when human attention is centralized in a few things like TikTok or Fortnite, you should still be able to enumerate downsides.

At that point, you'll see that you are disagreeing with the subjective weight of the upsides and downsides thus it doesn't make sense to attack someone like this.

Cetaceans have been recorded to have been non-aggressive, even helpful towards humans throughout history. That's why we have religious mythologies and regional/national mythologies in which cetaceans are told to save humans or they are treated as deities or spirit figures to appeal to.
Yep. The moment I saw the "extension" requirement, I stopped.
You can create your own ethically priced journal any day of the week, but if no one reads it, no one will publish to it. And if no one publishes to it, no one will read it. Offering cheap or free publishing doesn’t solve this chicken-and-egg problem, unfortunately. Quite the opposite; it signals that the researchers who publish there are only doing so because they can’t afford the publishing fees of larger journals, presumably because their research isn’t interesting or noteworthy enough to attract enough money to do so. Honestly, $10k is a drop in the bucket when grants are in the millions.
