I'm not sure on all of your claims, and frankly I can't be bothered to get any more into this drama but I will say one thing:

I found it shocking that the person behind the dropkiwifarms campaign does openly say they are making home-made drugs, and proudly say they will organise for children to take it without parental consent. I'm sure this must be illegal?

This is entirely ignored in all reporting of the Cloudflare situation. If I was a reporter and I saw this in my 5 minutes of research, I would very quickly find someone else to be the spokesperson of dropkiwifarms.
Actually, Linux does, too.

Amazing what industry is permitted to do in the name of progress (or profit). You have a highly polluting process with byproducts you don't want to deal with, so you just spread them out into the atmosphere for everyone else to suffer from. Oceans, ponds, atmosphere, groundwater, damn it all.
The correct response would be to set them on the blacklist for a time. People would complain and they would quickly change their behavior. Microsoft currently really wants everyone to have a Microsoft account.
Hate speech is clearly defined in various laws against the concept. So it’s not really up to taste. Most popular services attempt to remove hate speech, but doesn’t look like KF does.

Btw, a forum dedicated to the principle and culture of free speech would absolutely (by definition) be promoting/hosting hate speech.
Even in the web world, you're not immune. Good luck finding a browser that supports the latest version of TLS that e.g. your bank requires if you're running an "old" OS.
>If you live in a net heating environment then the cost of running something like a toaster is basically zero. You're getting to cook with and getting the heat in the inside of your home as well

I'd imagine most people run an extractor fan in their kitchen to get rid of smoke, aerosolised oils, etc. in which case almost all of that heat's lost.

Incitement as a tactic doesn't require a direct call to action. When someone manufactures an ideological enemy, describes a reason they are intolerable, gives others the language and the arguments to convince others, and in turn foments the making of a mob, then each euphemistically independent actor is doing so with the tacit support and blessing of a power group.

Does it make a difference to you whether it's happened on Kiwifarms or Jan 6th?
It's easy to be a slacker when you're landed gentry.

Setting that aside, Darwin worked himself sick. His walks, hiking mountains, etc. were part of his treatment program for overworking!

Here are quotes from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_of_Charles_Darwin :

> With the memories of Annie's death, Darwin did not want to return to Malvern. In 1856, he began writing for publication of his theory, and he pressed on, overworking, until by March 1857 illness was cutting his working day "ridiculously short".

> As his illness progressed, she nursed him, restraining him from overworking and making him take holiday breaks, always helping him to continue with his work.

> That October he wrote, "Of late anything which flurries me completely knocks me up afterwards, and brings on a violent palpitation of the heart."[7] In the spring of 1838 he was overworked, worried and suffering stomach upsets and headaches which caused him to be unable to work for days on end. These intensified and heart troubles returned, so in June he went "geologising" in Scotland and felt fully recuperated. Later that year however, bouts of illness returned—a pattern which would continue.

The linked-to page says "The rest of the time, they were hiking mountains, taking naps, going on walks with friends, or just sitting and thinking.", which elides how some of that was treatment for his poor health!

> Gully agreed with Darwin's self-diagnosis of nervous dyspepsia and set him a routine including being heated by a spirit lamp until dripping with perspiration, then vigorous rubbing with cold wet towels and cold foot baths, a strict diet, and walks. Darwin enjoyed the attention and the demanding regime which left him no time to feel guilty about not working. His health improved rapidly, and he felt that the water cure was "no quackery".[8][9] He had no faith in the homeopathic medicines Gully gave him three times a day but took them obediently.[10] They stayed on until 30 June, and back home at Down House, he continued with the diet and with the water treatment aided by his butler. He followed the rules about rising early and rationing his working time and had the Sandwalk constructed in the grounds for his walking exercise, setting a routine which he continued.[11]

Plus, that "hiking mountains" doesn't mean he wasn't working. He was "geologising" - that was work! And his rounds of Sandwalk was famously where he did his "hard thinking" - also work!
Most sites would delete your posts if you post someones SSN and credit report. Yet, I can easily find such posts going back years on Kiwifarms

I know what you mean and somewhat agree. I don't know much about KF but I assume they probably have subforums and groups of people within those forums. What I have seen people do in the past is set up what I described above and then share half of the random cache nodes with the general public and then share specific nodes with sub-groups of people keeping the site accessible to the regular or trusted users. The public cache nodes can have stricter limits on how many requests are forwarded over the VPN. Perhaps this is not compatible with KF's model. I've never seen their site aside from the CF error message.
> simultaneously, petulantly perhaps, spelling the units differently

Utter nonsense.

The majority of native English speakers are American. Does that mean Brits, Australians, etc. are being “petulant” by spelling various words differently from Americans? Of course not. That’s just not how language evolution and standardization works.

By the way, nobody had to decide that “meter” specifically should be spelled that way. It follows the normal American spelling pattern in which all words ending in the consonant cluster /tr/ are spelled with “-ter”. Commonwealth English is actually more inconsistent as it sometimes renders the French “-tre” as “-tre” (metre, centre, theatre) and sometimes as “-ter” (master, plaster).
Thanks for pointing out the encryption. That changes things a bit, IMHO.

Would have been nice if the article explained a bit what is actually happening. The wikipedia article doesn't mention it either...
Assuming (for the sake of argument) that covid vaccines were more harmful than typical vaccines, I have a few questions [based entirely on my ignorance]:

1. Were the doses too high? or ...

2. It is something about what was being vaccinating against, or ...

3. the mRNA technology

mRNA vaccine technology seems to be really exciting; what might be done to make them safer? or is there really not special risk to that technology at all?
You attack the author instead of the argument and you yourself know nothing about thr author.

The author and anyone else absolutley have the right to criticize any government for making bad decisions. You can only justify so much in the name of national security. Basic fairness, liberties and human dignity are not something any government (even and especially the US) has the right to sacrifice in the name of any kind of security. German concentration camps also were for national security against the "jews" who supposedly were responsible for so much harm in their society as were japanese internment camps in the US.

Some people have tilted the pronunciation of the word into 'not-see'. Out of sight, out of mind.
Yeah, maybe. My original point was trying to answer the question of why is it driving. Why is it trying to drive like a normal person?

There's a strong tendency for humans to want to be 'normal'; to fit in. The 'want to be a human' seems to be a powerful reward function for humans, and it might work for AGI as well. For both humans and AGI, it can be achieved just by trying to copy others.

To get there, it should be able to figure out causalities etc. otherwise it wouldn't get the expected results.

That is still not the primary purpose of HN. Those comments should be flagged, of course, but they in no way align with the specific purpose of HN.

Kiwifarms was founded to troll and harass a specific webcomic author. From there it evolved to target and harass specific people or communities.

Surely you see the difference here.

I don’t agree. All of my cars consumed ~8 liter petrol/diesel for 100 km. Electric vehicle of the same size needs less than 25 kwh. I agree, that using that very special 250 kW ionity charger petrol car is cheaper. But it’s extreme case. There are enough slower chargers with sane price making electrical vehicles very economic.

Predictions are just that. Right now it costs more in the Netherlands to charge your electric car than to fill up your petrol car. I never anticipated that could happen. With what is happening in the European energy market this might become the norm, making car buyers not 'make the mistake of buying EV again'.
Higher power is a major limitation though: "Rechargeable battery life is up to 5 days (the more it moves the lesser the days)" Whereas AirTags have a year battery life.

Also: "Works with GPS satellites when outdoors as primary tracking technology and when indoors Wi-Fi as a secondary backup tracking."
> That's essentially DKIM being fed into your average domain reputation system.

Yeah, and they are not particularly happy with this solution either. A lot of people complaining, etc, as we see here. I'm still not sure of a better system.
>If a sufficient amount of users are experiencing a loss of e-mail as a result, then they will be forced to fix it.

The trouble is, how many users are sufficient? Patch Tuesdays have their reputation for a reason, and if your issue isn't one shared by millions of people, it's unlikely a fix will come from Microsoft. Meanwhile email continues to get lost, and Microsoft ignores the issue.
Export smaller projects with WebP images
I suppose I'm not the target market for this. To me this is just added complexity that increases cost and likelihood of something breaking. I'm still waiting for someone to make a "battery on wheels", an electric car with no extra bells and whistles. I think it could end up being so cheap to own, and also extremely reliable, since electric cars need no transmissions, and almost no maintenance of any kind for that matter. My Leaf needs tires, and... that's about it until 100k miles.
IDK, if you jump in and seize an airfield then securing that airfield is an “at all costs” operation.
Yes, but the App Store part wasn't relevant to what has changed in the world. The world around technology has changed. Not just on apps, iOS, AppStores or Laserdiscs.

The referred tweet aged like milk since this is neither app-specific nor phone-specific, and hasn't gotten any viable alternatives either.
Did they.

You're right, they actually gave no evidence, but if these are not the events they are referencing in their blog post (the things that the #DropKiwiFarms has been hyping up), then what is?
The feeling of controlling a machine = "imperfections"

What I would expect a machine to say. I, for one, do not welcome our new robot overlords.
Haskell is one of those things that people either passionately love or hate.

Because of its uncompromising philosophy, programming in Haskell (or in any other purely functional programming language for that matter) has to pay an upfront cost of structuring side-effects. Type-driven development turns out to be a very useful approach to programming for those who have acquired a sufficient degree of proficiency in typed functional programming.

Granted, the world is messy and computational solutions will therefore have to deal with this messiness which often doesn't fit the neatness of purely functional programming right away. However, what I find interesting is that research into abstractions and ways to manage side-effects have led to insights and knowledge and into computing that couldn't have been readily obtained if the strait-jacket of pure functions was not put on. Such abstractions and connections with algebra of computations all help develop tools for building reliable software.

IMHO, the fact that Haskell is actually used in production is somewhat an accident. I think it began with people who programmed in Haskell for fun decided to try it out on solving real-world problems. And then gradually, when monad transformers came around, using Haskell in production became a real option.

I don't think the time commitment to learning Haskell is much more (if at all) than that to learn C++. In fact, after having programmed in C++ for quite a few years, I have pretty much given up on it. Obviously, if one needs to put food on the table, learning Haskell at the expense of other languages du jour would be a mistake. But being able to approach computing from the functional paradigm could be deeply rewarding.
Conversely, there's considerably more difference in concept and capacity between Dalle, and what's in development but not yet released. Safe to say that OAI and the rest of bigtech is at least a few years ahead internally and the open source community is catching up faster than most think, and even branching and exceeding capabilities in some directions as the tech begins to snowball.
As a macOS app developer with 5 years of experience, I agree with the "compatibility" and "absurd App Store requirements" arguments.

But I still build apps instead of websites, because:

1. I can create experiences which are not possible on the web

(e.g. controlling monitor brightness with https://lunar.fyi/)

2. I can more easily make money from it

(e.g. selling https://lowtechguys.com/rcmd on the App Store was so much easier than integrating a payment/licensing SDK myself)

In my view, the web is mostly used for information while apps are mostly created to provide an experience.

With PWAs and their new native like features, we might be moving towards closing that gap on mobile in terms of experience.

But the "making money" part still remains partly unsolved. It's much harder to sell a PWA than an app on the App Store, and this deters developers from pursuing that approach.
This paper is a trip to read.

Maybe researcher bias influenced the result. Doesn't look blinded..
Further benefits: biking with proper infrastructure without cars is possible for children as well and for those who can't afford a car or (as eBike or tricycle) for the elder who don't want to drive anymore. This gives mobility to large groups of society.
There is another comment below saying the owner/moderator/whatever of Kiwifarms also works with "law enforcement organisations" on anything illegal on the site.

Not ones from New Zealand, though: https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/christchurch-mosque-shootings-...
SGEMM / DGEMM using AMX2 (the first M1 has AMX2. The A14 has AMX1) is approximately 100% faster than the same running with NEON, which is already a specialized vector math system.
Call it the exonerative voice instead of thinking that everything mangled to avoid accusing somebody must be the passive voice.

For bonus points, identify the use of the passive voice in the previous sentence--not every use of the passive is exonerative, just as you can be exonerative without using the passive.
Just like every other vaccine... Nothing special about the COVID vaccine in this regard.
There are some people out there (including a former boss of mine), who actually sincerely believe that "hours spent pushing keyboard buttons and staring at a screen" will directly translate to professional success.

I like this article because it shows clearly that this is NOT true - the path to success is more about having a lifestyle that enables consistent productivity.

Futhermore, the article mentions a fair amount of other examples (Lubbock, Poincaré, the violinists) who also work shorter hours.
This comes up in every HN EV thread.

I don't think Twitter makes much of an effort; some of my reports on clear-cut cases like "shame if his face would be smashed in with a brick wink-emoji wink-emoji" have been rejected as they are, apparently, not promoting violence.

I really appreciate the challenges Twitter is facing with a bazillion tweets a minute and who-knows-how-many reports a minute and I'm not attaching all that many conclusions to this, but let's not pretend there isn't a huge amount of pretty dubious content on Twitter.
Wonder how John Carmack fits into all this - I did hear him say in an interview that he had a "daily upper limit" for amount of working hours, but it was 13. :p
> As a cyclist there isn’t really any good way to reliably avoid startling a pedestrian in a mixed environment.

Why couldn't you just ask (or require) bicyclists to use bells or horns of some sort? Pedestrians would get used to the noise after a while.
Toyota also makes the iMT transmission, which is possibly the most user friendly manual transmission ever made.
> The AirTag was used to track someone. A vehicle was used to murder them.

I don't think anyone who clicked the article (besides you perhaps) was expecting the AirTag to be the actual murder weapon.

It's an indisputable fact that the killer used an AirTag to track and follow her victim to his destination and then murder him, I'm not quite sure why you're bringing up WitSec or "framing".
Guess he’s taking time to reflect if it’s worth the effort. Hopefully it’s the end of kiwi farms.
> 750ml is roughly 1/5 of a gallon

We still colloquially call 750ml liquor bottles a “fifth”, so this is a plausible explanation.

(Curiously, we never say “a fifth of wine” even though wine is sold in 750ml bottles too.)
https://archive.ph/cikWE

It's a response, from yet another Oxford Physicist, to the other FT article currently on the frontpage.
Maybe your experience maps to the 0-100 Fahrenheit scale, but mine certainly doesn't. Temperatures where I'm from are typically 5-25C, 0-30C at the extremes. So 41-77, or 32-86. So how's Fahrenheit a more useful scale there? And what if you're from, I don't know, Bangkok? The temperature range there is, generously, 80-95F.

There are endless examples of where this argument doesn't stand up because the "averafe==ge human experience" is nothing like yours. But of course, it's more or less applicable in most of the US, so you imagine it's universal. Whereas, for the rest of us, 0 is cold, 10 is cool, 20 is warm, 30 is hot, and extrapolate from there. That's simple and relatable enough for me.
Reminder: a 13 year old minor survivor begged Twitter to remove a video sexually exploiting him.

Twitter reviewed the content and said NO.

They had his government ID showing that he was a minor at the time.

The video had over 160k views. Over 2k retweets.
You are right, but the current topic is standardising on USB-C for power delivery. So in that case only the first question applies. And funnily enough that question is the same for every power cable and plug. Even simple wall plugs and extension cords can burn out if a device draws too much power.
Look at Monarch Money and Copilot. Both are designed quite well.
