Oddest part of this post to me is that the author founded HN, but largely abandoned it because dealing with the users was a huge mental sinkhole for them; not able to find the quote, but clearly recall him saying this, though might be wrong.

As it relates to HN, PG what have you learned from the users? If HN was a startup, would it make it into YC?
Same. I'll often share relevant ideas in comments here and elsewhere in the hope that I inspire someone to go implement something I might like but will never find the time+organisation to get around to creating!

yeah django's approach to forms is not the worst

thinking of forms as a model that can be rendered is really valuable IMO. most UXes would be 10x easier to write if we had better standardization around the 'schema to UX' step

'form first UX' would also reduce the work of building cross-platform apps

guessing django is ramping up on its AJAX, but I think a real forms standard would need to understand AJAX -- users aren't going to remember to scroll down to a 'save' button. realtime validation also an AJAX issue, typeahead as well.
anything that starts off with "left" and "right" as an underlying political model is already hopelessly lost in poor thinking. this particular model is especially prone to tautological "evidence" of its own potency but it's simply uncovering a bias embedded in its own premises. start with a more realistic multidimensional model of political space and then maybe we can have productive conversations about things like intelligence and economic attitudes.
It looks like the change is setting oom_score_adj for Firefox processes, so IIUC Firefox won’t use less memory, just direct OOM kills better.
Take your anti-semitism out of HN. Israel’s Knesset is composed of religious and secular parties, the 2nd largest party today is a secular liberal party.

I wait for inevitable price drop when first adopters have gotten theirs and miners don't prop up demand anymore... I just don't believe these price levels stay.
I don't think hook themselves are a bad thing. But the way react implements hook probably is. The react team invented their hook format the suite themselves the most, but that probably isn't for other.

Vue 3 also has hook now. But none of these defects in the article exist.

In vue.

To use some value in a effect, you just use it and it is tracked.

If you need to clear up your code. You cut some code into a useXxx function, and your reusable utility is done. You can use it everywhere now. You don't really need to specify dependency of whatever by yourself.

If you must manipulate a dom, you just manipulate it. It will work as long as you revert the change before vue want to update it again.(And vue do provide a hook for you to attach a handler when these happen)

These restrictions are added by the way react implements hook, but not hook themselves. Hooks are just more user friendly services (by allow the hook to attach to component instance without all the glue codes(addListener or whatever))

> TikTok (called Douyin in China) was created a few months before the discontinuation of Vine. Its current edition is the result of the merger of the original TikTok app with Musical.ly, which was founded in 2014 and became popular in 2015. TikTok is similar to Vine in that it is a simple short video platform with the added option of Duet, meaning that two different TikTok creators may collaborate at different times to create a final video; The Verge called it "the closest thing we'll get to having Vine back". TikTok is not much younger than Vine, as its predecessor Musical.ly was introduced only a year after Vine's inception, but it exploded in popularity in the late 2010s, in the years after the Vine app was shut down.

Apple does not do this for security but just to piss user off - hence disabling the TrueTone & autobacklight features. These features are hardly anything that could be argued is "security relevant". I mean would you really velieve that vibration motor or battery could compromise security of your phone? One has to (unfortunately) stay in the realm of possible and feasible despite all the James Bond & CSI Miami & Bones TV shows...

Apple does somewhat care about users privacy (I like that very much) but this is really not it. And it goes for the battery as well. And vibration motor. And rear facing camera. All these are just plain and simple middle finger to third party repair shops. You could argue about FaceID sensor and motherboard and I would agree with security concerns, but that's pretty much it.
No ones learning class components for react anymore, and I'm not implying that class components are bad or ancient.
Yeah, a 4090 is still cheaper than a full-spec iPhone 14 Pro Max ;-)
Cities have never been and will never be sustainable. You can cram 100 people into an apartment building, but you’re never going to be able to grow all of their food in a rooftop garden.

Although high density can be more energy efficient, it’s not the only metric to consider. Apartment dwellers are completely dependent on importing resources, while rural people at least have a chance at breaking the dependency.
I love that LibreOffice lets me use the full range of OpenType features in fonts. Do I have Harfbuzz to thank for that?

But please let me edit the sample text in the OpenType features modal, so I can actually see the effects of my changes without leaving the entire Font window :)
> The word "friend" is tossed around so easily in the US culture. "This is my very good friend Eric" can mean you know him from work.

I really hate this as well. It's like people have forgotten that "acquaintances" and "friends" are two different things, and just use "friend" to cover both.

I think it cheapens what "friend" really means.
An Iranian film buff, I see.
The 4K 144hz you get on the Xbox Series X is almost certainly lower graphics settings than you could run at 4K 144hz on the RTX 4080. I don't think the difference is enough to justify the price difference but comparing resolution and framerates isn't apples to apples.
low effort, zero entropy message
so we see it's:
4090 - $1600
4080 (16GB) - $1200
4080 (12GB) - $900

But realisitcally it hits amazon, best buy, what's the real price going to be? these rates or another 30 to 50%?
We might enter a time when every time a new model/compression algo is introduced, a new series of benchmark images may need to be introduced/taken and ALL historical benchmarks of major compression algos redone on the new images.
I love how the name is wrong part and not the insane statement of ultra-efficiency when talking about multi-hundred watt power consumption.

They're defending taking advantage of a miner's forced fire sale. Less waste, lower price for a good GPU. What's not to like?
React changing best practices every few years is a good thing! It means it keeps getting better.

That would be a bad thing if it meant that earlier best practices were no longer maintained. But that’s not true. Class components are still around. All official documentation continues to have class component examples and explanations (where it makes sense obviously…there isn’t any class component documentation under hooks, of course). And class components will likely still be around 5 years from now.
Well maybe they'll have to have less, or keep them longer. Or we'll have to get better at prioritising energy consumption in manufacturing, and creating products that can be used for longer. Seems to me that there's no reason an ereader shouldn't last for 20 years or longer for example.
It used to be the same price in EUR as in USD, i.e. 3090 was $1499 and 1499EUR. So they decided to forfeit the market I guess.
It looks just like a heatsink. Big aluminum bladed block.

It might work, I don't know... airflow on the box itself wasn't enough, but there were 12 cards in the box, we also had to have external airflow as well. A single card probably wouldn't be too much of an issue though.

That said, we aren't parting out single cards... it would be more like if you wanted to buy 5-10k of them. ;-)
Why would they reject it? Is it offensive?
If spending lots of money to win a Cat 3 race and knowing you did it with money and equipment instead of fitness and smarts is OK with you more power to you. But if it means thousands of dollars spent on a race that likely paid < $50 to the winner the whole thing can also look ridiculous too depending on perspective.

This isn't really funny, it's a fundamental problem with cycling as a sport that limits who participates in the sport and hurts the sports ability to find and develop the best riders. It seems particularly bad in the US. Rules which helped control the equipment arms race would be good for the sport at the competitive level. Many promising athletes never try the sport because the costs are so prohibitive. On top of that in road racing if expensive equipment raises the speed of everyone in the field it accomplishes nothing other than increasing the risk of severe injury as speeds go up.

If someone made $10k shoes that gave a competitive advantage in soccer or basketball, or a $10k baseball bat that offered significant advantages, etc.. that equipment would very likely be outlawed right away. Cycling has let everything get very out of control. Baseball obviously has already banned lots of bats that offer competitive advantage, whether it's banning metal bats after a certain level or limiting the power of metal bats below that level.
I agree but there is an even more serious security feature almost all 2FA misses:

Telling the user what action they are authorizing by reading back the numbers.

That “bank rep” on the phone? They are probably trying to log into your account, or withdraw cash, not verify that you are the right person to send the refund back to.

It would save a lot of problems.

Also you should be getting an alert on all your devices whenever transactions over X amount per Y time occur, and you should have an opportunity to reverse them for 24 hours (even for debit cards). Also you should be able to make windows during which time it would be longer than 24 hours, such as a Jewish holiday or when out of range. This wouldn’t apply to recurring transactions.
I wrote a (very surface level) comparison on this last year[1]. If you already have V8 in your environment, it's probably worth using V8, but if you just want to load a wasm interpreter into some Rust code, wasmtime is a much nicer interface to work with and more lightweight.

(nb. if I were to write this post today, it would be an omission not to mention the component model)
The post seems to be talking about the unbranded Chinese cards. I have never tried those, not sure if it was the same performance/drivers. But in 2019 bought a RX570 on ebay to 150$ and sold it next year for the same. They're a bit cheaper now, but its price range does not allow much change. More expensive cards have more variation
Please review the guidelines for Show HN https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html It can still be a regular submission. But then use the correct title, too (USB vs URL). P.S. having 'SEO' in the username might give other users the wrong impression.
Maybe Bethesda will release RTX edition of Skyrim for these cards...
Edge tails of high variance inputs lead to very different values of the computational outputs of thought derived from those inputs, news at 11.
That’s roughly equivalent to my aging Nvidia 970, I think and that’s also mostly fine. The price of new cards is still ridiculous afaict.
I downgraded my GPUs to passively cooled 1030 with DDR5 memory.

There is ZERO point to playing games that need more power.
I almost went down that route! I settled for a $5 Platinum Preppy instead for a few years and picked up a Procyon recently. Don't think I'd spend anything more than that though. I tested out some $250-500 pens and didn't notice a difference but from Preppy -> Procyon is huge with how much smoother the Procyon is.
Imagine trying to debug a component that both has lifecycle methods and reactive hooks? That would be a total nightmare, especially when the same state is being updated in both places (because that would have to be allowed). Going all-in on hooks means that there are two distinct, independent ways of writing components, and you never have to deal with interactions between the two.

I also don't think this would be possible. Hooks are based on closures and injected state, which you can't do in a class since separate methods won't share the closure.

"Fairweather friends" are not friends. They're "close acquaintances" at best.

I bought a Titan XP for even less after the 2018 crash (350$) which is basically a faster 1080 ti with a lot more RAM. Still running it to this day and it destroys pretty much everything I throw at it. Watching it go up and up in price during the last few years has been hilarious considering I have been using the thing since 2018 and bought it used to begin with.
One of the goto success stories of our generation, Facebook, is based on a university student acting extremely immorally as he stole the idea from people he agreed to build said idea for.
> Verizon, for example, says in its FAQs that all smartphones the comms giant or any of its retail partners sells are locked for at least 60 days from purchase, even when you've paid full retail price or paid off your device payment agreement early. It claims the policy helps to "prevent theft and protect customers from fraud."

Further, as noted by multiple commenters (and this can be confirmed by a google search turning up numerous accounts): T-Mobile automatically locks an unlocked device when you insert an AT&T sim into it.
A combination of shotscraper and metascraper; really more web previews than archives. And in a single thread, to different hostnames, maybe one every 10 seconds? Honestly surprised Akamai or anything even noticed. I fake my user agent now, lesson learned.
Be careful citing Jared Diamond on anything, the guy is a bit of a disreputable quack and a trap for intelligent folks without experience in the field.
Sounds like you need lossless compression.

I was told that the GPT-2 text compression variant was a lossless compressor (https://bellard.org/libnc/gpt2tc.html), why is stable diffusion lossy?

Even MacOS Safari does this. I don't know whether the latest update fixed it though.

We decentralized our business by relying on another centralized one...

I don’t see how 2 people living in a 500 square foot house in the mountains would have significant cooling needs.

If you’re talking about high density in a concrete city, then cooling is a problem.
"crush your daily standup" - I am not sure that will be appealing to audiences outside America (assuming the target is dev teams worthwhile).

If I knew the first few mins of a standup were going to be a round table like "what's your all time fav book?", I would just join late.
The problem is that something pejorative on the surface is only meaningful to an end-user that is intimately familiar with the limitations of ManifestV3.

If you titled an adblocker "uBlock Crippled Edition", you might be protesting Google, but the unfamiliar end-user is just going to see it and think, "Well I certainly don't want a crippled adblocker! Let me just grab one of these numerous others from the appstore that claims it's 100% effective."
Yes... but it's a joke to suggest it is anything like the picture in the article.
Nowadays i found that watt per fps is better metric. And nvida is just milking performance by power draw more current (less efficient)
It's the same thing with people disillusioned by Marvel or Star Wars or whatever. You need to be able to tell internalize that if you want content that isn't slop, you're going to have to hunt a lot harder for it, and pay a lot more for it, than you did in the past.
yes, as you move toward more intelligence, you tend to move toward the edge of human knowledge, which by definition, are at the extremes (not in everything of course, but in areas of more intense focus).

Instantiating a runtime in microseconds is deeply exciting!

Though after skimming through the docs, I'm still left wondering a few things:

- JS is notably missing from the list of languages supported on the front page. But I see mentions of a Spidermonkey.wasm in the blog post. Is running JS on top of wasmtime in production a realistic prospect today? If so, where can I read more? (mainly interested in this for the instantiation time benefits, though maybe all/most of that will be negated by the embedded JS engine?)

- How should I go about building a typical web service on top of wasmtime? Can wasmtime itself handle network requests/connections or would I need to build the web server in some other host language and pass request data to wasmtime modules? Haven't been able to find anything in the docs about this.

- What would it take to build a multitenant web service where customer code is isolated using wasmtime, like the one like described in the post?
Interesting technique - the make each section then drop it into place. And the unit of measure today is elephants:

Each section will be 217 meters long (roughly half the length of the world's largest container ship), 42 meters wide and 9 meters tall. Weighing in at 73,000 metric tons each, they will be as heavy as more than 13,000 elephants.
Sounds toxic-ish! Why pick on someone who isn't paying attention?
For anyone who thinks that Snowden is just a puppet of Russia, or that the CIA needs to walk a gray line to defend the US interests in the name of some global greater good:

Do you think those chickens will never come home to roost? Do you think their training and equipment and tactics wont soon come to border patrol, and then your local police department?

Sure, this agency with a carte blanche now is 'only' targeting people who don't look like you or speak your language or share the same values as you. But how long do you think the US can go before its departments are weaponized by someone who has dreams of being dictator of the US? 20 years? 50? 100?

Rather than just writing Snowden off because he would rather live in the relative freedom of an authoritarian nation than rot in the cell of a 'free' one, maybe take his argument at face value and recognize the real danger of unaccountability.
Exactly! If the Javascript implementation was better, React probably never would have had to come up with Hooks in the first place.
I believe ML techniques are the future of video/image compression. When you read a well written novel, you can kind of construct images of characters, locations and scenes in your mind. You can even draw these scenes, and if you're a good artist, those won't have any artifacts.

I don't expect future codecs to be able to reduce a movie to a simple text stream, but maybe it could do something in the same vein. Store abstract descriptions instead of bitmaps. If the encoding and decoding are good enough, your phone could reconstruct an image that closely resembles what the camera recorded. If your phone has to store a 50Gb model for that, it doesn't seem too bad, especially if the movie file could be measured in tens of megabytes.

Or it could go in another direction, where file sizes remain in the gigabytes, but quality jumps to extremely crisp 8k that you can zoom into or move the camera around if you want.

Can't wait for this stuff!
I don’t know of any language or framework that guards from mangling a buggy abstraction and then exposing an interface for it.

How much oil is required to heat the air over Los Angeles by 2C?

(Facts quickly googled)

Area of Los Angeles: 1.29 * 10⁹ m²

Height of air column over city: say 1000m

Volume of air = 1.29 * 10¹² m³

Mass of air (density 1.29 g/l) = 1.66 * 10¹² kg

Energy of air (700 J/kg for each C) = 2.32 * 10¹⁵ J

Equivalent number of barrels of oil (6.1 * 10⁹ J) = 380327 ~= 0.4 * 10⁶

Daily consumption in all of california: 1.8*10⁶ barrels

If the calculations are right, you would have to burn around 20% of California's daily consumption inside the city to raise the air temperature by 2C.
I've heard my friends in Texas mention that the outrage against the tan suit was a metaphor. Conservatives tend not to overreact to silly things, so I'll agree with them there.
