Yep. I had a 1200 person geeky event meetup (board game events, geek movies, role playing, escape rooms, renaissance faires, conventions, zombie walks, a bunch of random geeky stuff) that I eventually wanted to stop paying $180/year for when the pandemic hit, since I wasn't willing to host any in-person events anymore.

I stepped down and someone who wasn't even a member of the group swooped in to pay for it and has only used it to post speed dating events since (so the past two years).

Technically I inherited the group myself, but I was an active member already and the original creator chose to hand it over to me after she moved away from the area, since I said I was willing to pay for it of the people on the leadership team (I was a moderator and posted events already).

It's one of the things I hate most about Meetup. There can be good things about it, if someone else is willing to carry on the torch like I was, and wants to keep the group going, but letting whoever wants to swoop in and snipe it just to harvest the user list is pretty crappy.

It should be something the admin (or at least a moderator, since maybe an admin could just ghost at some point) can choose to hand over, not just be an automatic process up for grabs for anyone.
This is a bit different from flak. The intuition you have for kinetic energy based on living on earth doesn't capture just how insanely high the kinetic energy of something going at 70 km/s is. It's probably better to conceptualize it as heavy artillery than a projectile in terms of the damage its capable of inflicting.
Google has a search API. Does Kagi use this on the backend?
> Kodak, Sears, K-Mart, etc. etc

Yeah, those kinds of names I had in mind. Skimming through some of the other comments on this thread I'd put it in the "lost cause" category.

These things can "kinda" turn around, by which I mean there are a lot of false dawns and people think they're in a recovery situation, only for the thing to grind lower longer-term.

In investing, never say never, of course. Miracles do happen, but I think the outlook is bleak for this company.
> Also, they do have mixed onsen, but those are pretty rare (these days?)

My impression was that onsen had areas divided by gender, and mixed onsen weren't nude?
I do think that a state should exist primarily for the benefit of its citizens but this view had long been decried xenophobic at best.

However, you can't have it both ways. If

> countless stories of flats left uninhabited by some rich person who arrived at the building, bought two flats so that he could get a visa, and doesn’t even live there

then clearly not

> wealthy foreigners from all over the world, to whom we offer a paradise where they enjoy the same services but where they don’t pay or pay less tax than the general population

Either they live there and use services or not.
>I'm pretty sure the author is talking about "data" in the context of "databases",

Yes I agree and the "data metrics" was the interpretation I was commenting on. Instead of straw-man, I actually steel-manned what the author was trying to communicate in my other comment. (One has to read this thread's blog post combined with his previous blog entry to understand what the author means by "good argument".)

Eh, ads are not something one has to put up with unless one chooses so, and filtering by language worked well for me with DDG (can’t remember about google, it’s been so long). I do enjoy their actually unique features, though ;)
I guess ARM really does want to push RISC-V forward.

Qualcomm dominates the high-end, high-margin ARM chip market (the part that uses ARM designs). They also invested a bunch into SiFive and the SiFive CEO is from Qualcomm. By pushing for the entire Nuvia design to be thrown out, ARM is aiming for the 1.5B acquisition jugular.

I'm sure that there's at least idle talk about what to do if ARM wins or demands huge royalties in a settlement. Porting their design to RISC-V means keeping most of their work. It means they have a better negotiation position with ARM moving forward for other designs. It also increases their negotiation position with SiFive in the future (maybe even giving them enough positioning for an acquisition).

The market is already shifting toward RISC-V with MediaTek (largest Android low-end chip maker) creating a wholly-owned corp that is doing RISC-V designs. The JVM port is now mainlined and Alibaba has made a ton of progress with their Android port. China and India are both pushing hard for RISC-V too.

Meanwhile, RISC-V is moving hard into the embedded space where it's simplicity translates into a lot fewer gates while not paying 1-3% to ARM means either increased profits or more competitive pricing.

Qualcomm announcing a RISC-V version of Nuvia could be a disastrous opening of the floodgates for ARM.

TL;DR -- What a great time for ARM to prove to the world how switching to an open ISA would eliminate a lot of these bureaucratic issues.
Punctuated evolution doesn't mean that evolution was fast, at least as I see it: instead evolution has solved problems in the past and created latent capabilities that can be rapidly engaged through small mutations or epigenetic changes like hormonal changes that get passed on generationally through early development.

That is to say that while humans developed higher intelligence over a relatively short time, that was created from a novel combination of evolutionary abilities rather than a novel evolutionary invention.
In OCaml lazy data is fundamentally incompatible with strict data -- you have to explicitly evaluate it, e.g. when passing to a function which takes strict data. This means you end up with two disjoint 'worlds' where you need to write algorithms twice, etc. (In fact you'd have to do that for every possible variant of where exactly the laziness lies.)

The ergonomics become incredibly bad, unfortunately.

(Also see my link to a Reddit thread elsewhere in this thread further ideas on why strict-by-default is not a simple win.)
There are other ways to be stuck, I'm in subsidized housing which I would like to give to the less fortunate but buying is impossible and leaving would mean half the space and four times the rent making me have less remaining per month than the less fortunate in my current appartment.
I've been a subscriber for a while now - completely replaced Google, even for esoteric tech queries.

Only feedback I have is, if someone on the team gets some free cycles, please make the calculator a little more user friendly. Mostly looking for the ability to Kagi search an equation, and then tack on additional operations to the equation in the results page. Right now I have to reach for the mouse, click the small text field and type ans*. Would be nice if it just inferred that I want to use the previous answer.
That correlates with the data Okcupid published a while back where women rated 80% of men as below-average.
I don't think anyone is saying it doesn't exist.
Hi, this seems like an interesting project, is the application open for non U.S residents?
There are no good reasons to put a specific time period prediction on the arrival of AGI. You are essentially stating an article of religious faith without a clear scientific basis. "Surely I come quickly. Amen."

How much actual money have you bet on your prediction?
There are good arguments that foreigners should only be allowed to own real estate only in specific places and that citizenship should be by blood only for small countries - let's say under 100000 sq km and 50 million people. Too easy for them to be overtaken by global elite otherwise.
Right now the controllers come from China. There are fabs in Thailand, Malaysia, Taiwan, and many other countries ready to step in if need be.

Yes you are correct, the democratic governor was recalled, then somehow Schwarzenegger won reelection. As someone who lived there and still does, I do not think the state was red in any way, rather the left was sick of what was happen under Davis.

So you are arguing 8 years of a republican governor and 2 years of republican lead assembly vs 40+ years of a democrat governors and 40+ years both houses being controlled by democrats make CA republican lead?

Resume/CV: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthewmastracci/
Email: matthew@mastracci.com

Things I'd be interested in: developer tools, embedded development/low-level work, compilers, building frameworks, reverse engineering, security, machine learning.

I've done everything up and down the stack from low-level assembly up to massive web-scale work. Most recently I was a director of engineering at FullStory, focused on a mobile analytics product that I built from zero, wrote patents for, and hired up a team to take over. I'm looking more at low-level work right now at a small company with good culture.

I'm also happy to discuss any other interesting opportunities, especially if they come with difficult and interesting problems.
Don't members of the meetup group already have access to the members list for that group?

Thought that was a core concept?
Unless you have really crappy weather, like here in Sweden :-p
Indeed and that its a no judgement zone as you will see all walks of life enjoying being themselves .. naked and free.
If someone wants to pay for it then at that point they could ask participants if they want to remain part of the group and give the new sponsor access to their PII.

submitting today because he just launched a site to back up his thoughts: https://twitter.com/levelsio/status/1565329959765172225
I'll also note that he begins his piece by approvingly quoting Shakespeare's "Dick the Butcher," one of the henchmen of Jack Cade and a symbol of the descent of England into anarchy and mob rule; in the play, Cade is basically a Kentish Pol Pot and Dick his thuggish enforcer, who gleefully executes anyone who can read and write (instead of being illiterate like "an honest, plain-dealing man"). Maybe not the most felicitous opening -- but, then, he does essentially advocate for the overthrow of the regulatory state so we can "fearlessly build" with "permissionless innovation" ... Uber. And sidewalk scooters.
The things you have listed minimize the impact of network latency, they don't affect the rendering performance which is still a big deal. Apps that need to render large amounts of data still kind of suck, you'll see many apps "virtualize" things. So rather than having 10,000 elements, you have however many fit in your viewport + N and as you scroll they get reused. The tearing hurts my soul.

Compare the scrolling in Excel 97 + Windows NT to Google Sheets/Office 365. It's night and day. The webapps that render everything with WebGL do preform better, but then you have non-native widgets.

I hope this problem gets solved one day.
> For now, this has nothing to do with lazy evaluation. Such implementation will be slow in every language. It happens because add doesn’t use tail-call recursion.

This is why I'll never really trust Haskell to be usable in a serious context. Haskellers will talk your ear off about how such restricted abstractions enable the compiler to optimize it to hell and back, and perfectly idiomatic Haskell can be compiled to almost-perfect machine code, but in point of fact GHC basically never does, and you still have to care about things like tail calls and design APIs to do things like continuation passing.
This could work for GPUs: Instead of selling a 20 TFLOP card for $500 you could sell 2 for $250 each consuming half the power. Wonder how long you could keep this up with exponential scaling though...
GFS predated chubby.

The master is configured with the endpoints for all the chunkaervers. A separate control/config system supported this including things like automatic replacement of dead nodes.
If a place has only millionaires, prices for many basic things will be very high compared to other places, like for plumbers: there will be less plumbers and those willing to go there will be able to raise prices, a lot. Same for groceries, cleanup, ...

Turnstile | Early Team (multiple roles) | Full-Time | REMOTE (US/Canada) | https://www.tryturnstile.com

---

We're a small (12-person) team of repeat founders and seasoned operators building modern revenue infrastructure for usage-based software. This is a tight-knit and senior crew — almost everyone has 10-25 years' experience, much of it together.

The last company we started, Second Measure (YC S15), scaled to 70+ people and tens of millions in revenue, received multiple “best places to work” awards, and was ultimately acquired by Bloomberg in a landmark deal.

We're looking for extraordinary builders to play a foundational role in a company designed for scale:

- Founding Engineer — Frontend Lead
- Founding Engineer — Frontend
- Founding Engineer — Backend Lead (data platform)
- Founding Engineer — Backend (multiple roles)
- others (opportunistic)

We're well-funded by top investors (led by First Round Capital), fully distributed, and known for building intentional, inclusive culture. We offer competitive global rates (SF salary + equity), equal pay by level, work flexibility (including a 4-day workweek), and comprehensive, family-friendly benefits.

I'm a founder— if interested, apply directly (https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/turnstile) or shoot jobs@ and me (mike@) an email.
I just told you what I meant.
I couldn't agree with this more. I feel like the author took some of the arguments straight from my brain—I'm exhausted by pseudoscientific "data-driven" arguments.

From my experience, most of these try to distill an incredibly complex problem space down to a one-dimensional black and white decision. But the real world doesn't work like that–it's full of grey area, and things we can't effectively measure. If you're trying to slice and dice data down to a happy one-dimensional decision point, you're often missing or ignoring important detail.

At work, I'm far more happy with postmortems with general, open "good/bad" lists of after the fact feedback, that we use to consider how we prioritize and design what comes next.

Hey! I'm an SRE/DevOps engineer looking for a junior role. Feel free to email me if you have any questions or comments, I'll do my best to reply diligently. Thanks!
I don’t know about you, but I feel a little weird about the fact that some random person can just buy all the contacts/access to the profiles of our old podcast producer meetup group without my input or opting in.

Imagine if folks could buy abandoned Facebook profiles and be instantly connected to all their friends and groups/pages. I think most people would be against that.

At the very least I would hope to see a prompt or notification of some kind appear that says “hey, this community is under new management” and then I have to opt to stay in.
What about NATO domination in Europe?

Why can so many of you not see [beyond simplistic 'goodies' and 'baddies' labels] how much Russia feels threatened by that? Imagine if the cold war had been 'won' by the other side; Canada and Mexico had joined the Warsaw Pact and the USSR had troops and ICBMs stationed there. And now Alaska, which had declared independence from the rest of the USA was talking about doing likewise [0] How do you think the US would react?

Clue: look up 'Cuban Missile Crisis' if you need a hint.

One of the fundamental pre-requisites for solving crises diplomatically before the shooting starts is seeing things from the other guy's point of view. Simply dismissing 'them' as the 'baddies' and discounting their view of the world only leads to more conflict --as has happened in Ukraine.

[0] Baggsy a share of the royalties, if someone decides to write this up as an Alternative History blockbuster!
I'll just file it under "best minds of our generation are working on making people click 3% more often on ads".
It is certainly possible to have a single system that can effectively process high volumes of OLTP traffic while at the same time performing OLAP operations. While there are systems that are designed to do one or the other type of operation well, very few are able to do both. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6-O9v4mrCc
Sounds like the Portuguese government should start building flats as fast as possible. Other countries in the EU do it and it works.
In regard to anonymity, I'm curious if the kagi users can form a closed tor-like network that will insure that all queries come from an authenticated user and at the same time the query source is obfuscated.
There is some bias in this comment, perhaps Ordnung is what compels it, but simpler was better, and though collectively we were less informed, we were also less burdened.

There is value in a plain lifestyle and community. We've lost a sense of community because of this pervasive false-familiarity that the internet and phones have created. You no longer need to see your relatives and community members because you can 'see' them on a website or app or call them.

Whether it gets acknowledged or not, for all of the positives this connectivity brought, there were an equal amount of problems. Our advances in telecommunications led to an uncomfortable truth that not everyone's innermost feelings should be foisted upon the greater community. Everyone knows someone who's consumed with worry/negative-excitement over the struggles currently taking place.

We will never again have another private thought, another uninterrupted conversation, eye contact, feeling someones hands as you tell them how much their being means to you. All of that are the incontrovertible consequences of the Internet, our prodigal problem child.
I dunno, I'd say its effect on earth's tide is a pretty "natural system". Seems odd you can assert such certainty of not having unintended consequences and miss that
