So what if "everywhere else" disagrees? They're wrong and they made a mistake.

Thing is, while inferior, Celsius isn't that much worse than Fahrenheit for everyday weather purposes, and it had the metric halo, so people accepted it, and only nerds like me care.

But if you use your own independent thought, ignoring which scales happen to be in common use, it seems obvious that Fahrenheit is better designed for talking about weather.

There's nothing even metric about Celsius. It isn't even easier to divide up than Fahrenheit. Degrees Fahrenheit aren't divided up into 13 Fahrenheit shillings or anything like that. The only 10-based thing about Celsius is to specify exactly 100 degrees between the boiling and freezing points of water, which is useless for talking about weather because the weather never goes anywhere near the boiling point of water. Like seriously, name one situation where it's easier to do something with Celsius than Fahrenheit. You can't, because Fahrenheit was already pretty sane, it was nothing crazy like miles/feet, pounds/ounces, etc.

For scientists doing chemistry, Celsius was slightly nicer, but honestly, not that much nicer, as Fahrenheit users don't really find themselves forgetting the freezing/boiling points of water, and dividing that range into convenient tenths or fifths or what have you is not something anyone ever needs to do.

For everyday people who talk about weather, Celsius was a big step back. The size of the degrees, almost twice as big, is also a step in the wrong direction. 1 Fahrenheit degree is almost exactly the temperature difference a person can notice if they pay very close attention. 1 celsius degree is noticably slightly too large. For setting thermostats, this matters. You either need an awkward half-degree granularity, or you don't have as much precision.

Yes, most of the world's governments have specified Celsius, but that is just an appeal to authority. Fahhrenheit is almost perfectly designed for talking about weather and thermostats, which is what most people use temperatures for most of the time.

PS: Centigrade is still an acceptable name, if quirky when speaking English. Outside of English such as in Spanish it is actually way more common and I've never even heard the term "celsius" in Spanish. I thought you might be interested in this since you seem interested in how it's done outside of just the USA ;-) and I find that "Celsius" as a term is more of an anglosphere thing. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celsius#Centigrade_vis-%C3%A0-...

I have been there. The progress was rather slow until I started to use NixOS. The learning curve is a bit steep but is very rewarding. It is not specific to self-hosting stuff, but as a side effect it makes self hosting super easy (declarative, readable, etc).

For most of the services that you would like, you just write a simple configuration and deploy it. For example, to run the service shiori (https://github.com/breakds/nixos-machines/blob/main/machines...), or to host a game (terraria) server (https://github.com/breakds/nixos-machines/blob/main/machines...), or tailscale (https://github.com/breakds/nixos-machines/blob/main/base/tai...). Since Nix is also a very good package manager, you also do not have to deal with installing packages and managing their dependencies.

With my NixOS server I am running all the services you mentioned.

> But I have no clue about networking,

My router is just a bunch of services running on a NixOS box (with this you have absolute control over the firewall/gateway, and it is also good experience to learn the networking stuff with NixOS). Note that before this I know nothing about the networking stuff as I skipped the class in college ...
This is a weird comment and makes a lot of assumptions on why someone would even choose a view library like this to begin with. React is just React; a small virtual dom library with little opinions on how you test and structure your application. Of course, React has the largest and most mature ecosystem of any modern JavaScript view library, which is what you are getting at.
Nevermind compilers, the possibility of updating architectures & code bases by automation. A true feasible attack on tech debt and legacy code.
Do you remember the decision that gave prosecutors immunity? I've been toying with ideas for laws concerning malicious prosecution and I'm curious about the basis of the Supreme Court's decision.
Using the above chemistry, you can attach DNA oligos to lipids, DNA oligos to proteins, fluorophores to DNA, fluorophores to proteins at particular locations or other complex drugs to DNA, protein or lipids.

Once you get DNA oligos in there you can do computation, as X binds X', and Y to Y'. So you can have all sorts of complex synthetic & designed interactions using chemistry that is both seamless and doesn't interfere with normal molecular biolgy.

Once you have proteins, you can localize particular chemistries.
My question still stands - how are they related to each other? I can see what others are working on by looking at the issue board or just asking. And I haven't experienced that sprints contribute to devs having a say in anything.
i'm guessing most of that stuff is register allocation and cache management.

rl-searches could potentially rewrite entire algorithms.

Apple should be proxying and caching these results to avoid the risk of exposing client devices, prevent incidental DDOS, as well as the obvious privacy issues.

Hi I've done two of these and generally think they are worth it if the time commitment is manageable:

Pros: Community (always good to connect with other founders), some value in "brand" of parent company (if it's Google), PR opportunities, opportunities to network with folks in Google

Cons: No equity --> no stake --> limited incentive for the accelerator to provide you with tailored advice/mentorship, can be very time-consuming (and that's time you could be spending on your product), the "one size fits all" approach can lead to bad advice

Overall, I still think pros > cons, so long as the time is manageable. I think it would be great to have a Google stamp and meet other founders in the same space. I would also look into what the program commitments are (i.e. can you miss out on program talks/sessions without consequences?)
Ooph that sucks. The 5.19 kernel completely broke audio for my Ryzen APU laptop too, I have to wait for a 5.19.10+ kernel in my distro (pop os) to get a fix.

I dunno what's up but the 5.19 kernel has had some pretty shoddy releases or major bugs getting through. I kind of think the video, audio, etc. drivers for these highly integrated SoCs are just getting way too complex and unwieldy for anyone to reason about or review.
That philosophy pertained to userspace tools, not the OS as a whole. And the waters have been muddied a lot (think systemd which does a lot of things and is still embraced for servers and desktop alike).

There’s not really money in that, though. Messenger and Whatsapp are not pulling its weight in revenue, though not for lack of trying.

Also, it’s worth noting that HN isn’t exactly representative of the population at large.
Portability is one of the core features of WebAssembly (Wasm) allowing you to run modern applications in environments you could not before. Add sandboxing and security features to the mix and WebAssembly turns out to be a great platform to run applications in the browser and outside of it.
You are asking too much :-) Essentially you are looking to setup a "Private Cloud" with the required services on your own hardware in your own "Homelab" location.

So you have to approach it top-down i.e. a) What services do you want? b) What are the SW and HW involved? c) How are they put together? d) What solutions/frameworks are already available for the above?

You start by reading up on "Cloud Technology/Architecture" and understand terms like IaaS/PaaS/SaaS and how the three fundamental cloud resources i.e. Compute, Storage and Networking are virtualized in the above layers. Any cloud tutorial/book will give you a good overview. I can recommend Cloud Computing for Science and Engineering by Ian Foster et.al. (https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262037242/cloud-computing-for-s...).

Now you should be able to understand products/Jargons like GitHub/BitWarden/Tailscale/FreeNAS/VPS etc. and where they fit into the overall picture. The final step is to buy the hardware and go to town installing/configuring services.
Another example of just the kind of concrete answers I was hoping for.

Makes you wonder what the steady state features would be. DM/group chat, chronological/activity based feed, friends, personal profile, maybe group pages? Seems pretty simple and honestly a lot like early facebook.

I would definitely pay for something like above if it meant 0 ads, I despise ads and go out of my way to avoid them when I can.
Not entirely sure. A friend of mine works for them and they're doing some sort of simulation stuff for our national navy.

"Both the connector and port are too large and the tip of the cable protrudes too far. "

Well good news - unless something changes in material science or cost of materials dramatically changes, this won't change :)
So you don't have to worry about this.

Recessing the connector does not require a change to the connector, but making them actually smaller would be very hard.

"The fact that all new improvements will have to go through some totally unbiased and impartial incorruptible committee is terrifying."

There are no new improvements coming that require a new connector. There haven't been for a long time. There is no evidence to suggest they are coming anytime soon.

For all the people who keep saying it will have to go to a committee, not a single person has said what the magic improvement they think this will block actually is

(you at least gave an answer, but your answer is not actually possible anytime soon)

I remember reading it a few years ago. Seemed like it has some good points but I don't remember it being 'life changing'. I can't remember anything specific I started doing differently because I read it.
In this case the CEO's stated vision is to dominate the AR/VR market. So in that context it makes sense for Meta to treat legacy properties like Instagram as cash cows and maximize short-term revenue at the expense of long-term growth. That revenue can be used to finance new AR/VR products.

We'll find out in 10 years if Mark Zuckerberg was a visionary genius or an idiot.
The term you are looking for is "high-security", which covers the private industry side, DoD has others at play. Also dont forget the value of having custom welding done.
I am skeptical. So far there is only a single report of this, triggering at 8:08 am local time (according to OP's bio). If it were the middle of the night, doing some kind of dark wake background scan, it would sound more plausible. During normal user hours? Is it not possible he accidentally triggered it?

The user agent is the one used by the Link Presentation framework. It shouldn't be too much to dig through the shared cache for binaries that link to this framework and see if there are any QuickLook ones.

Pay a high school kid $15 per hour to do this for you. Nice little gig for a kid and you get to save tens a massive amount of money and aggravation when compared to a humanoid robot, which, today, is far more likely to be a total failure for your task. In addition to that, it isn't going to take 400 hours of your time to train and supervise.
> For both, it seems like I read messages in random order and then have to guess at the general gist

I don't use Twitter so I don't know what it does, but if you look at the email, the oldest posts are quoted first, so you just read the message top to bottom like anything else.

And if that's too confusing, there are links to every message in the thread at the bottom.
It also feels like something that would leak across VPN/proxy/ISP changes. "This tracking code was loaded first from this residential IP, then this coffee shop IP, then this VPN IP" tells quite a story!
Actually it makes me relieved to think that a reasonable person holds the platform to not censor others, at least in principle and according to his words.

But only time will tell. For me it was good news, honestly.
At this point, machine learning has seeped into a lot of my workflows. What I can do and how well is capped by video memory. This is useful enough that it's just a matter of time before this makes it into mainstream tools. There are GPGPU things other than machine learning which will likely follow.

Right now, I have a card with 16GB, which cost a bit over a grand. This means it can do Stable Diffusion at 512x512, but not higher resolutions. It can do some NLP models, but not GPT-3 scale ones. It can do awesome speech recognition.

These things are useful enough that I claim more people will want to use them as soon as they don't require knowing Python. I think it's just a matter of time before enterprising folks will write code to make some of these workflows available to everyone. I don't think it's unlikely that GPGPU will be standard at least in business laptops in the near future, for the productivity increase.

If Intel can do this for 1/2-1/3 the cost of NVidia, the impact will be huge. If Intel can democratize truly large models, like GPT-3, the impact will be even greater.

If a model takes 20 seconds instead of 10, that's not a huge difference. If it runs out of VRAM, it is.

business market >>> data center market > gamer market

This kind of stuff was Intel's sweet spot maybe two decades ago. They shipped high-quality numerical code, stable drivers, a lot of open-source, and robust integration with operating systems.

While far from a guarantee of uniform world peace, please try to name something that has worked better at preventing war than free markets. The existence of one or two counterexamples (dubious ones in my opinion) doesn't do anything for me except make me think "hmm, there sure are a lot fewer examples of international warfare in the last 80 years, compared to the 80 years before that. I wonder what's changed? Oh yeah..."

I think you have to read it more as a story than a theory, and also that the conclusion is more subtle.

My takeway is not that Togo is a better choice for the hero than Balto, it's that there is no correct choice. Balto, Togo, and a lot of other dogs were part of a group effort. Balto became the mascot. But humans need a simple story, so they confuse a mascot with a hero.

America is named like that because someone named Amerigo claimed columbus was wrong in thinking he was in India. People had to name it something, so they shortened 'Amerigo's continent' to America. Was he worthy to name a whole continent? Probably not, but still he has a continent named after him.
I came here to literally say the exact same thing. These two resources are likely some of the most valuable things you'll find. I know some others have said "use the official docker images" and I'd say for selfhosting: don't. The folks who run LinuxServer.IO are awesome and the consistency of their documentation and container images is some of the best, in one place, that's out there today.

I would add two things to the mix here - the first is there are a bunch of blogs who cater to selfhosting as well as on YouTube. The ones on YouTube are much easier to find. I'd say one of the more active bloggers though is Jeremy who runs Noted [0].

The other thing I'd take into consideration is if you want to manage your selfhosting, and if not there are options there as well. One popular option as of late is Umbrel [1] and there's also some like Sandstorm [2] that have been around longer. Yunohost [3] also seems to have some traction in this type of self-hosting realm.

Well yes, some containers only read the persistent data so if those could have zero-downtime as there's no risk of data corruption it would be great, but that option is not offered to me.
I hate the boilerplate in react. Import, types for props, exports and all the hooks. Many codebases I've seen have even conventions which increase it. Small things but it adds up and I unconciously avoid creating new components when possible. Many people use some shortcuts to autogenerate all of this stuff, but I don't like tools like this.

Svelte is the gold standard of no boilerplate. An empty file is a valid component.
I had professors that would very literally cackle in glee at how hard their classes were.

The best/worst was the 'Choose your Grade' exam. The professor has written up four exams for the final. One was a D grade, one a C, one a B, and the last was an A. Each exam being progressively harder. You got to choose your grade by choosing your exam. If you passed, you got that grade, if not, you got an F. All were open book, no time limit, but you had to stick with your choice. I remember talking with the TA grad students about grading the exams and even they were stumped by the difficulty of the A exams.

Looking back, it was marvelous. I was so proud of passing that B level exam.

Specifically, Mark has allowed Facebooks mission to change from "giving people the power to build community and bring the world closer together" to "optimize ad revenue from a pre-existing group of users", and is now doing the same to Instagram. Look at the changes made to Facebook in the last five years and tell me, with a straight face, that they were all made with the original mission statement in mind.

A Visionary CEO would chase the mission and expect revenue to follow.
(1) I am certainly not the first one to think about that. (2) The example was just that and not very creative. There is an infinite amount of possibilities. Also I imagine it to be crutual to involve personal data somewhere (like the birth year).
Is it just me, or is Instagram losing lots of organic traffic just the same way Facebook did? I'm not sure if its the algorithm that changed, but now posts from weeks ago are showing up at the top of my feed. The ads are not as invasive (yet) at least.

Yeah that's more of a startup mentality where you're trying to prove to your next round of investors that your growth is going to be 10x then 100x then 1000x and will then eat an entire industry. If someone's buying Meta stock at this point it's pretty obviously not on an infinite growth trajectory.

I am aware of that as we use Laravel heavily at my company. It depends on how you define "win". Laravel won as in getting the adoption by developers due to its ecosystem and low barrier to entry. Symfony is more component based (powerful) but you need to put it all together which is a bit more work.

I personally love Symfony even though it was a lot easier to start and go to market with Laravel.
> Before WW1, the economy was roughly as interdependent as it is now.

This is untrue. In 1913, exports were roughly 14% of economic activity. Today, it's at 24% [1]. This effect is exaggerated when you consider that people were a lot more self reliant back then, and most of this labor doesn't get recorded as economic activity (e.g. hand-washing clothes vs using a washer, subsidence farming vs buying food at a supermarket).

Today, there is also a lot more multinational corporations and international investments. For example, Foxconn is a Taiwanese company, but the vast majority of its over a million workers are Chinese. As far as I can tell, you never saw Austrian elites buy a ton of Serbian real-estate, which is what China's elites are doing. Had that been the case, you'd see a lot Austrian elites fight very hard to keep the peace to prevent their investments from going into flames.

I've literally had a cop plant drugs on me, and one of my hometowns recently had a big bombshell where a bunch of cops were indicted for doing the same thing, so I'm not sure you know what you're talking about.
I did almost get caught in a scam—email appeared to come from CEO in my medium-sized company (so it wouldn’t have been out of place to hear from him). First email simply said, do you have a moment to chat, second was, fortunately, an obvious scam request—“can you buy some gift cards for a client?” but everything was disguised enough that I might have gotten caught with a better-conceived spear phishing attack.
None of this is confirmed, just a single person was able to reproduce that.
