And don’t even get me started on mobile browsers. On iOS I don’t think there is even a way to get a black background on webpages without shelling out money for an Safari extension like Neo Noir. This seems like a basic feature which should have existed in every browser since the 1990s. It doesnt seem hard to code. It increases contrast ratio for persons with vision disabilities. And it reduces electricity usage when displaying on some screen technologies. I’m baffled why this isn’t a thing already in the year 2022.
Web browsers are strange. They are sophisticated pieces of engineering, but they refuse to implement the lowest hanging fruit features UX wise.
Neophyte speaking - I love it, but so much in this area feels deeply established. Who are the rebels, the provacateurs, and what are their arguments? If I wish to 'know thine enemy', who would I read?

For example:

- who questions the foundational axioms of mathematical structuralism these days?

- who argues from a comparative analysis of logic and field theory?

If these thinkers can find a way to remove the incentives of spammers, misinformators, and stakeholders to pollute results, that would be a great achievement. It could be seen as a big economic game, simulating these actors might allow comming up with rules to balance this game and minimize pollution.
I think some fraud happened (elsewhere), but that doesn't mean those pictures are evidence of fraud (even though maybe a violation of law). Could they just be dropping off household family members' ballots as a favor, or way to save gas?
If that belief is based on solid evidence that you have, many people would pay you millions of dollars for it.

Just think of all the people in history, famous, smart ones too, who've said absolutely stupid things because they confused a numerical coincidence for something profound.
In all honestly, I could have a very low bar lol. I do believe it though. I've seen people post screenshots and they have a ton of nonsense recommended. I've rarely ever clicked "don't show me this" too.
That's really what makes Apple look like the good guy- the other top players are openly evil and unquestionably provide net-negative value to society.
Actually, it's totally different. Nobody's going to click on a search ad to fill out a survey, that won't work at all for those low-cost surveys.

Google Surveys wound up being shown in order to access content -- I think it was before YouTube videos, or in order to access an article without ads/paywall on select sites. There was also a dedicated app that would pay you a small amount of money.

If you don't actually know anything about Surveys, maybe you don't need to be commenting about it. :)
Unfortunately my understanding is that election fraud if quite often just normal shit like that, regular people who are punished harshly to be made examples of for political football…
I find it mildly amusing that to help redirect away from centralised services, there's an uber centralised service to help.
Nice concise video showing off the features. I love that it's plain text. Very cool UI. I'd like to use it, but as long as:

- there's no local-only version (although I'm now seeing from another of your comments that you plan to do a full offline mode - hooray!)

- there's a requirement to sign in (even before using any paid features)

I'd rather not use it.

Also, a better name might be TaskTimer, but I imagine that's taken.
Misleading? I wasn't mislead. It seems like you weren't mislead. The person who responded to you wasn't mislead. Was anyone mislead? Really, a single person? Or is language a mechanism to probabilistically encode information and not a formal system, even if it often approximates one? Go learn Lojban and leave everyone who actually wants to communicate be.

You aren’t the only person, I’ve certainly heard it before. But I’m yet to hear a convincing rebuttal to Mixins Considered Harmful [1], the hooks talk [2] or the Motivation section [3] on the announcement.

The arguments I’ve heard is that it is “cleaner”, “more understandable” or the OO style is preferred. Some developers feel uncomfortable with hook magic because it introduces a more niche programming concept than OO (e.g stateful functions). I don’t find these arguments compelling. What the React team managed to do was reproduce the same functionality as class components while decreasing the footguns associated with them.

I think the important thing here is that there's a clear and obvious reason that the deadline exists, with demonstrable costs for missing that deadline. I think a lot of people can get overly defensive about this because it's incredibly common for deadlines to exist primarily as an accountability / motivation mechanism - nothing really happens if the deadline isn't met, but to keep the team aligned we'll invent a deadline.

Which isn't really a problem in and of itself - but when that's used to justify crunch time, it can lead to taking shortcuts and making sacrifices with real costs that were wholly unnecessary, and it's a huge morale hit to be sacrificing your free time to work for essentially no reason.
For a megabank, this level of fine is just the cost of doing business.

Since when did a corporate fine come to mean "it's fine with them"?
True. I do have premium though (hopefully that doesn't make a difference) + adblocker so I never get traditional ads.

Another example though... I just watched a few videos about fake self help gurus and influencers. I now have 3/10 recommended videos about that. 2/10 a random meme (which do look funny, tbf) and then the rest are subs.

Huge fan.

Our company has been working on a new large platform built around BFF and it's been really nice to work with.

We have several SPA and mobile apps which interact with our data very differently. It took a bit to break the mindset of using the HTTP layer as the "point of reuse" but now it's far easier to add and maintain functionality.

We feel much more productive compared to past projects where we spent a lot of time trying to make "one API to rule them all" with a single ever-changing model.
I think the odds are 0 in general, but perhaps higher for many actually "useful" algorithms.

Take grover's algorithm (basically find an item in a list or bruteforce something in O(sqrt(n)) time). The current best classical algorithm to bruteforce something is try every possibility, taking about n/2 guesses on average. The quantum version takes O(sqrt(n)). We are never going to be able to bruteforce with a normal computer faster than guessing all possibilities.
In other words "let's see if we can invalidate as many ballots as we can in a county where we're not happy with who they vote for based on a technicality". I'm willing to bet the majority of these pictures are of people that had no idea of this "requirement".

It would take tens of thousands of votes in a handful of specific states, but yeah, it would requires a vast conspiracy. Trump Republicans are trying to just that under the assumption that the 2020 election was stolen anyway. Which is, uh, not great.

There are some more details in the above article.

The highest VO2 maximums ever recorded by a group of athletes were not registered by endurance runners, which is what he had logically presupposed before his investigations, but rather by Russian and Norwegian cross-country skiers. Why was this? He wondered. It didn't take long for him to come up with the answer: the skiers generated propulsion using all four limbs. The runners used only their legs.

While the majority of the aerobic world used two limbs, the legs, in their respective modes, the skiers were using four limbs to power locomotion.

The poundage possibilities were limitless. A person moving a pair of 20 pound dumbbells short distances for 10 minutes would net far different results than a jogger throwing 2 pound hand weights head high for 60 minutes.

Len's own transformation was mind-blowing and pointed out how effective the studies use of quad-limbed cardio exercise could be ...

(Followed by a table of resting heart rate details)

"The elite marathoner runs at approximately 75% of his maximum workload capacity. A Heavyhand user can generate 50% of leg capacity, 50% of arm capacity and exceed the marathon runner's 75% of maximum capacity using legs only. This is why Heavyhands feels easier. Lots of units, each doing less, add up to more."
It is indeed incredibly exciting when better classical algorithms are found. But if Google were using 10 more qubits, then that classical algorithm would have failed. That is at the root of supremacy experiments: a minor increase in the number of qubits leads to exponential difficulty in classically faking the result. And that type of push-and-pull will continue for another few years until we have a "useful" example of supremacy. That does not de-value the current technology demonstrators that are paving the way.
From a quick skim, most of them show people dropping off two ballots. Some show three or four, maybe five in one case, but it seems most show just two.

The lawsuit quotes these rules for using the drop box:

> You must only return your own ballot. You are prohibited from delivering or returning any else’s ballot, even if that person is your spouse, parent, child, grandparent, other relative, neighbor or friend.

Is there any reason to believe this is anything more than people simply bending the rules to drop off their spouses’ or other family members’ ballots?
These are almost entirely people delivering 2 ballots. Likely the case that they are delivering a ballot for a spouse.

According to the document, that is not technically allowed.

Important to note that the document does not indicate some sort of conspiratorial fraud.
Does Horo even work on Monterey on an M1? I tried launching it and nothing happened. No menu bar / menu extra icon, no dock icon, nothing.
There is fraud in every election. All polls have a margin of error, and that includes polling places.

Like all fraud, we don’t want to spend enough resources to eliminate it entirely, because this has negative effects on legitimate customers/voters. There was an article recently by patio11 about how credit cards choose a level of fraud to tolerate in the interest of the system functioning. Voting works the same way; restrictions on mail ballots and ID requirements limit more legitimate voters than fraudulent votes, so a prudent approach is to only investigate in cases where it makes a difference. We call these recounts in elections, and audits in finance.

If conservatives want to run the country more like a business, well, this is their chance.

I'm 41, originally from Hungary. I live 5,000 km / 5 hr flight away from my parents in Dubai, and only see them a couple times per year.

This is great because they're toxic.

When I do meet them, often I (or we, if my wife is there) end up leaving after 30 minutes because they start their right-wing, xenophobic, hateful rhetoric and/or just start being mean.
BFF is perhaps the purest example of Conway's law. When the backend team cannot or will not make the necessary changes for the frontend team, another layer is introduced: the BFF. There is no particular reason why the real backend can't solve this problem; it is purely political.
Hiring C++ developers isn't easy either. Same for reading C++. So learning curve isn't an argument if you compare Rust to it.
I dont see it mentioned BlockTube extension [0] anywhere in the comments yet. It automatically blocks videos/channels based on your defined keywords and it works perfectly. For some period of time my main YT page was filled with a variation of videos about "walking in Tokyo". I'm not interested in walking in cities nor Japan, so I have no idea where that came from. No matter how many of these videos I marked as "not interested", more of them kept coming for days. Blocktube just automatically purged them for me. Sometime I saw just a blank page (because all the videos were blocked automatically), so I had to reload page to see at least something. It took some time to get rid off the "noise", but my YT experience is now way better.

My thought was that a failed flywheel would be locally catastrophic but as long as you are not building homes right next to them, it would be safe for the surrounding community and not inconvenience or put civilians danger.
Can this not be at least partially solved by relying more heavily on a user's feedback(like/ dislike buttons, numerical rating systems, and any other feedback mechanisms) to better understand preferences of the viewer? Along with simply being more patient and diligent when trying to discern actual user desire?

It seems like the problem of asymmetry in recommendation platforms is more a choice from a design perspective than a challenge yet to be figured out.

I'm far from an expert tho so just a thought from a laymen
Thanks for this. I don’t think I phrased my question well in hindsight.

To clarify:

So, you’ve poured in the blood, sweat and tears and you have something that you are convinced solves a problem and solves it well for your target audience. You decide to showcase it on HN. Until this point the story is yours and somewhat private. When you post it on HN, the public part of your story starts.

I’m curious to know if there are any stories where at that point there was a spike.

I’m in agreement with your stance here:

A. Having a good product / service is non-negotiable
B. A good marketing pipeline / set of channels /effort is essential to drive carry forward any momentum from the HN or any other channel.

Loved your college radio station story. I think a lot of education comes from activities like this. Thanks for sharing.

When I imagine a spreadsheet or text file for managing a project, in my mind I am picturing a lot of items on one screen of text. With very little "chrome" or extra whitespace, or needing to navigate across several screens to get the whole picture. Or learn specific tool features to get the view you want. And the simplicity of just adding a column to your spreadsheet, vs figuring out where to fit the new data point into the existing ticket structure.

If they truly want to require one person per ballot drop them in the mailbox then yea this system is not going to work. Most people aren’t going to make their spouse come along with them in the car just to drop their ballots off unless someone there is enforcing it.

Not sure why this rule exists though. There’s no one preventing you from mailing a stack of absentee ballots in so why does it matter with the physical dropbox?
My undergrad physics professors didn't exactly assign wikipedia articles, but they did tell us that some articles were useful resources for understanding certain topics. In my experience, the more technical a topic, the more likely the wikipedia article is to be reliable. Probably because there isn't much incentive for someone who isn't an expert to edit it.
I'm not talking about phase flips, but actual accumulated phase rotation due to noise, error, cross-talk, etc. Quantum error correction is geared towards keeping a Qubit in alignment with some axis through the Bloch sphere, at the two poles where it intersects the Bloch sphere. In order for the QFT to work, you have to be able to rotate around at least one axis, not near its poles.
Quantum computers are not analog computers. They are very much digital. A better analogy is with probabilistic computers: classical probabilistic computers are digital computers with a source of random bits. Quantum computers are digital computers in which randomness is governed by quantum probability amplitudes, not by classical probabilities. It is more fruitful to think of quantum computers as digital computers governed by a different, non-classical generalization of probability theory.
Someone I worked with noted there were two types of projects - projects that needed to be done by a date, and projects that needed to be done to a spec. Figuring out which one you're working on is the key - need to release by Christmas? Great, figure out what you can deliver by then and deliver it. Need to meet a compliance target? Great, figure out how long it's going to take.

A fair number of these are someone dropping off two envelopes from a car and you can’t really see if there is another person in the car. Honest question: is it actually illegal if two people drive together to the drop box for the person in the drop box side to drop both envelopes off? Is the other person supposed to technically open the door, walk around the car, and drop their’s off separately?
But only Uncle Scrooge will be able to afford it.
> Sadly, it seems that Google has intentionally diminished Youtube's own search function in order to prioritize use of the recommendation system.

That's because recommended videos are more popular, and more popular videos earn them more ad revenue.
Similar on Facebook: I click through to a scam product to gather details and send a complaint to ASA (in UK). I then say "don't show me stuff like this", block the "story", block the advertiser.

Now consistently I get adverts from Facebook for that same product from other scammers, no matter how much I block them. Presumably because that advert 'engaged' me for the longest. Eugh.

Incidentally, ASA responded that it was not a UK company ... which sounds like "we don't care about scam advertising we're just here for the paycheck". The company were advertising on UK Facebook and held a UK registered trade mark.

I assume that's exactly it, why else would companies do this sort of thing, or are all media companies inept.
I'm convinced there was an illegal and violent coup attempting to overturn the 2020 election. It killed people. What was your thing again?
I still do not understand. Quantum error correction does not require the qubit to be in a particular orientation on the Bloch sphere: any point on the Bloch sphere is equally protected. Are you saying that certain gates are simply difficult to perform precisely, e.g. that they will always have some systematic over-rotation? That also seems to be fixable with what is called randomized compiling.
This is a surprising perspective, since we're using web components top-to-bottom to build photoshop on the web, & some of that decision was driven by performance comparisons where web components outperformed react.

It's possible that very naive implementations of web components would render as slowly as you describe - like if you rebuilt the whole DOM tree at every level on every change.

Here is a performance-oriented talk about rendering web components via browser-parsed template literals via Lit (which is how we do it):

It's not political that microservices owning well-defined slices of a pie can't cater to the frontend's every whim without creating a dependency spaghetti everywhere that you have cross-cutting concerns. It's just common sense.

If you're arguing that most microservice vs monolith decisions represent a political and not a technical decision, I'll grant you that.
Probably they're supposed to each go to the box, but even this report realizes how BS that would be and none of the ~30 pictures I looked at had anyone in the passenger seat.
Technically correctly, although there is a subtle nuance here.

What you want to see is not necessarily the same as what you will end up watching. Just because you dislike a video doesn't mean you wouldn't watch it.

Or put another way, you can tell YouTube what you want (to be perceived socially as wanting) to see, but the algorithm knows what you actually want to see.
