>Cloudflare isn’t censoring Kiwi Farms

It is not really CF, so much as it's the collective action of many internet monopolies. The content they are hosting is legal to the extent of US law, and no one is allowing them to host it.

>It causes people to be afraid to post publicly online, for fear of malicious people stalking them

When someone is publishing their personal information online, is it really stalking to republish that information? It is almost impossible to prevent such a thing from occuring. Either an individual is a public figure or a private figure. If someone (say, a politician or celebrity) chooses to become a public figure, then they should be held under the scrutiny of the public eye and they should be held accountable for their actions. If someone is a private figure, they should be responsible for securing their own privacy on the internet.

I think what we have on the current internet is a situation where a lot of internet celebrities (including KF's own operator) want all of the benefits of being a para-social public figure with none of the responsibilities of maintaining a public image that stands up to scrutiny.

In the case of the NES emulator developer who allegedly committed suicide, the KF had not published this person's actual real-life identity. They could have merely started a new pseudonym, or operated more privately under the current pseudonym, or ignored the KF altogether. The so-called "harrasement" and "doxxing" of this person is completely inconsequential to their actual life outside of the internet. You would not infer any more information on this guy from his KF "dox" as you would infer from almost any pseudo-anonymous furry on any social media website. But instead, this figure tried to leverage their own suicide threat to take down the kiwifarms website and extort them by offering money in exchange for their article to be taken down. In the end, their suicide remains completely unconfirmed apart from a single, unbacked testimonial.

It isn't hard to find examples either!

Oh sure, but getting developers to jump from PHP to Rust is a lot harder. Conversely, it's easier to get PHP developers to jump to Node.js despite all it's issues as well.

I mean, Go is still miles above scripting land. 75% of all the cloud computing projects are in Go and if you deal with micro services you'll find a lot of the tooling and systems are written in Go.

If you're using PHP, then Go or Java is much easier upgrade path than Rust.

Um, the article I went to from the OPs links complains that the incinerator has too much capacity and uses nearly all available garbage on Madeira, so Madeira is missing recycling targets. Electricity being more valuable would imply even better economics.
Yeah same, more a collage generator than an architect.

It's less convincing than the other projects like this, wonder if it's a uniquely hard problem or a weakness of this particular implementation.

> we used to defended those magazines for free speech reasons, and for the sake of the few times they reveal something genuinely in the public interest

There was editorial control. Someone to be held accountable, and someone making decisions knowing that. User-generated content is different. I am less certain of any prescription for the problem than I am in the difference being salient. Heuristics that work on print media aren’t easily translated to social.
Yes, but conversely, there are cases where O(1), O(N) and O(N^2) are all perceptually the same in all cases of a particular program. There's a bit of an art to determining what is critical and non-critical.
Los Angeles is not in the top 20? Doesn’t make sense to me.
What makes this even more absurd is that Germany currently has to produce electricity using gas in order to sell it to France, where nuclear power plants needed to be shut down because of low water levels in rivers. Without that, Germany wouldn't need very expensive gas for electricity at all at the moment and could rely on renewables and coal, which would lead to lower prices.

It's interesting to me, the model does not know what a house is like, it knows what pictures of houses are like. So it does a good job of making pictures that look like pictures of houses. But if you look closely, a lot of the details are really weird, unbuildable, or just non-sensical.

All of the image-gen models have this problem - look at the hands and faces in the generated images of people and there are often bizarre deformations.

It's fascinating because it's the opposite of how children learn to draw. They tend to think about the pieces that make a thing and then try to put all the pieces on paper, and they end up making a drawing that (for instance) looks nothing like a person but has two eyes, a nose, a mouth, etc. in roughly the right relation to each other. (They rarely draw ears though!) The child is thinking about "what makes a face a face" and then trying to represent it.
The ML model is sort of distributing pixels in a probabilistic way that comes up with something very similar to the pixels in a sample image in its training set, superficially much better than a kids drawing and yet in some ways much worse upon close inspection.
Answer by OpenAI: One resource that may be helpful is the book "Game Programming Patterns" by Robert Nystrom. This book covers a variety of topics related to game programming, including architecture, design patterns, and optimization. Also, the blog "Gamasutra" has a section devoted to game programming, which may have articles that discuss simulation game architecture.
BitTorrent had a protocol extension for DHTs, as a replacement for the trackers that are required by default: https://www.bittorrent.org/beps/bep_0005.html

So you still need a central web server to serve the .torrent file, but peers are found without centralisation. But I’m sure with effort that could have been generalised further.

There’s also IPFS (https://ipfs.tech), which uses content addressability to try to be even more decentralised than the normal web (without any cryptocurrency shenanigans, at least last I checked).

I don’t think either took off massively though.
I don't see why the effect of a policy should be judged with a so wide focus that it's considered worthless unless it helps the whole humanity and foreigners.

Policy is decided, implemented and evaluated on the level of societies, not on a global level. We have no global government, and the only global cooperation is voluntary, with wealth redistribution only happening as much as one society arbitrarily chooses to spend on charity and foreign aid for another. Social policies are not implemented worldwide but rather by some society for its own benefit, and if some policy makes a society successful, that's a great policy for that society. Leaders in democratic societies are accountable to people of their society about ensuring that their needs, desires and choices get met, they are not accountable to humanity in general but rather the people they represent, and in general these voters give a very limited mandate to sacrifice prosperity of their society to "raise the bar" of worldwide prosperity. If the society chooses to make policies that benefit everyone else, great, but if it does not, then the policy is good if and only if it fits the choices of that particular society. We can make a strong argument that there is a moral imperative not to harm other societies, however, ignoring them is an acceptable 'default' state of noninterference.

If doing something allows you to "pick winners" so that all of your society are winners, that would be great (certainly better than what we have now) and would have effectively solved things that matter for that society, even if it does not extend to the world beyond its borders.

If that USB-C cable only supported 5W, then it does not meet the spec and must not carry USB-IF branding. At a minimum, USB-C cables must support 20V/3A and optionally support 20V/5A.

I get you on the rest of the issues, because the simplified USB-IF branding (Hi-Speed, SuperSpeed, SuperSpeed+, etc) crucially isn't printed on the cable itself. Moreover, the constant renumbering of the standard means manufacturers often forgo the consumer-facing branding and market devices/cables with the latest standard, which means nothing regarding what capabilities a device/cable supports.

USB-IF needs to be better at enforcement, for sure. In the meantime, I just just Thunderbolt cables for everything that needs advanced capabilities and pack-ins for everything else.
Past experience with articles making it to HN FP show it can handle up to around 3K visits /hour without too much trouble. Maybe more, but my Matomo analytics instance tends to give up around then. Right now it's pulling maybe 700 visits/ hour.

Below is the list you provided, and no where in it do you call for a reduction in meat consumption. You have some weird ax to grind, because telling people to not fly is a far bigger sacrifice than asking them to eat a plant based meal once a day instead of a meat based meal.

Here is you’re list.

“ 1. Walk or bike.
1a. If you can't do the above, use public transport.
1b. If you can't do that, consider moving to a city where you can do all of the above (if you can afford it). If you're rural, seek a land trust or farmer to buy your land when you do.

2. Insulate your house.

3. Get solar if you can afford it.
3a. Replace all gas appliances with electric (Heat pump, electric water heater, ec)

4. Don't fly.

5. Dietary changes, but remember to include ecosystem services and impact in your analysis. A little carbon is worth it if it means more land stays free of pesticides and continues to provide for the ecosystem.”
There are huge swathes of the US in more or less the situation I describe: federal, state, or local government owned, vertically integrated monopoly. Same as in Canada, and indeed much of Europe up until not so long ago. Where are all the grid collapses in these places?

Meanwhile in California we had rolling brownouts after deregulation so that Enron could make bank. Seems like the situation is exactly the opposite as you describe.
That’s because these aren’t real markets, they’re barely disguised monopolies with captured regulators putting on a show.

Which is basically gov’t run power, albeit with less accountability since you can’t figure out who to vote out.

Pretty convenient for those running it though!
The triangle with arrows story? It was a great read.
With Maven, Gradle etc you can output a Docker container from a single package command.

And I don't understand this idea of using code bundles as the deployment artefact.

They don't specify how the code should be run e.g. Java version, set of SSL certificates in your keystore etc.

Do you really want Kubernetes to have hundreds of options for each language ? Or is it better to just leave that up to the user.
Being EXTREMELY generous to gasoline and ICE - and realistic that most BEVs aren't charging using 0% fossil fuels - you can get to 3.14x.

To get to 2x, you'll need to assume the average BEV is substantially less efficient than a Tesla - that all gasoline is refined at the most efficient refinery - that all ICE cars get Prius mileage - that it takes 0 energy to extract and transmit / ship oil - and probably that the majority of your electricity is coming from coal.
If the human is doing the traction control job, they know how far from the edge of the envelope they are (because the difficulty changes). If it's a computer doing that, it's hard to communicate that to the human (iiuc we don't even try). Unless this is improved, this means that sometimes it's better to leave a human in control of both strategy and tactics even if the computer would outperform on tactics.
This talk is pretty good:

But other than that, it's like building most types of software. It's scary when you start and don't know where to go. Start with a small loop. Implement it. Extend it. Refactor it.
Well, no, that's not how it works. They stopped business with KF by not forwarding traffic to the protected/secret origin anymore, thats how reverse proxies work. The owner of the domain is free to update their DNS records and point it to another CDN or even the unprotected origin
I think this is one of the biggest problems with the Agile manifesto. The actual line is:

> Individuals and interactions over processes and tools

This makes it seem like processes and tools are not important. But when you get beyond 5 or so people working on something, processes and tools are absolutely critical. There is no contradiction between processes and tools, and individuals and interactions. Better processes and tools will enable better interactions between individuals and will allow those individuals to influence the larger team.

What this should have been is something like:

Individuals and interactions <=> Processes and Tools

Both feed into each other and should be improving each other.
Few more rounds and people in the streets will begin to understand spitting in the face of your primary sustenance supplier is not very smart. Were they thinking stealing (freezing assets and confiscating private property) and sanctioning trade would be taken by Russia as a reward, or what ? Well, choose your friends wisely, choose your enemies wiser yet. Not that the option of refusing Ukraine into NATO was off the table.
But a supply demand market already benefits baseload. When intermittent generators like wind are low output, prices increase, and nuclear makes more money
The problem for Europe right now is that wind turbines and solar panels don't product natural gas. In Germany for instance, only 25% of gas usage is accounted for by electricity production.
From a policy perspective I find it extremely problematic to say that CloudFlare is an essential part of modern free speech. If we say that free speech is shouting from a publicly funded street corner, that's one thing. But it's quite another to say that free speech requires expensive engineers, infrastructure, and energy expenditure, all funded by an American business.

If we want public squares, why then do we not pay for it with public money? Furthermore, is it not incredibly problematic that private companies are such an important pillar of free speech in an international context? Is CloudFlare essential for German free speech?

And most importantly, what about the freedom of association as a moral principle? How does an individual's freedom to speak weigh against another's capacity to say "leave me alone?" At the extreme, we might see that in a small town, if enough people disassociate from you then freedom of speech is no longer the top issue. The top issue becomes whether you can even live. So which of these ideal rights are most weighty, and how ought they interact with other rights?

What determines that freedom of association is subordinate to the freedom of speech in an X society?

On a more technical question, what is stopping Kiwi Farms from gathering on the many private forums which exist around the world? There's 4chan, Reddit, TruthSocial, or Facebook. CloudFlare was not a host in this context, it was a DDOS protection service, which is indirectly a wallet protection service. Who will be DDOS'ing Facebook's wallet?
If they committed a crime, let the authorities deal with it. Committing another crime (DDoSing a website) is hardly the answer. Vigilantism is also a crime.

Only using first gear for hard launches helps, as does the fact they are using dog clutches in addition to traditional friction plates.

The coolest part is the rear motor can be completely mechanically decoupled from the axel so it can just coast. Most other EV just shut of power to the motor, but Taycan can freewheel on the rear axle.

WAV is the original lossless audio file. FLAC is just a compressed version of that file (think of it as .zip).

MP3 is more like an edited version of the original where "extra fluff" is removed from the audio in a way that you can still hear the important bits. And then compressed for further space savings.

Obviously, there is no point in converting MP3 to FLAC since when the original lossless audio track was MP3'd , it lost some of the audio information, so you'd only be changing the compression algorithm, I imagine.
You believe I should be able to engage in hate speech and harass people and that CF has an obligation to help me in that endeavor? Bruh...

I don't know if it's just me, but it seems to only generate luxury homes in a contemporary minimalist / modernist architectural style. Not once did it generate anything resembling a Tudor mansion or Victorian cottage or Midwestern rancher or split level.

Nothing really wrong with that and it's neat anyways, but seem to represent its own sort of strange bias in a sense.

One-shot jobs are one of the reasons why I moved from Kubernetes to Nomad[0]. It feels overengineering absurdity that there is no more straightforward way to do it.

The more I think about it, the more I realize that generic declarative style, despite sounding very promising, might not be a good fit for modern deployment. Mainly due to technology fragmentation.

There's no one true way to deploy an abstract app, each tech stack is fairly unique. Two apps can look exactly the same from the desired state perspective, but have two extremely different deployment processes. They might even have exactly the same tech stack, but different reliability requirements.

Somehow you need to be able to accommodate for those differences in your declarative framework. So you'll pay the abstraction costs (complexity). But you will only reap the benefits if you're constantly switching the components of your architecture. And that typically doesn't happen: by the time you get to a point where you need a deployment framework, your architecture fairly rigid.

I don't really see what FrSky did as shady - they introduced a new system with DRM that was not compatible with their old system, which was widely cloned. They did a really poor job at communicating these changes and explaining the implications, but I don't feel that there was anything malicious about it - just a matter of poor documentation. Their main competitor at the time (TBS) also has extensive DRM on their system, they just haven't yet had to deal with 1:1 clones.

Anyway, you're right that ExpressLRS appeared to eat their lunch, especially now that it's approaching legality in many regulatory regions. ELRS is really a very strong open source story - a hack project appeared out of nowhere and managed to disrupt a whole cottage industry by virtue of being community built and supporting a wide range of implementations.
Maybe you're not sensitive to choppy UI rendering and high input lag, or you simply don't value responsiveness. In which case, perhaps the devices that came in the iPhone's wake were adequate to you.

Another thing to look for is deleted or very flat energy between harmonics. Reducing bit rate in inter harmonic regions is most of what's meant by 'psychoacoustics.'

I imagine low pass filtering depends a bit on which compression you're using.
