Do you know if they ever released data on the prevalence of smurfs as they detect them?

I'm curious because in playing some other games that have detailed 3rd party stat trackers, a lot of users I thought were for sure smurfs actually weren't.

Like someone in the match would have a 50% headshot rate, but their career or season average was like 7%. It looked like they were just having a really lucky game. With 10 or 12 players, it doesn't seem crazy that a good portion of games have 1 player who's just playing a better game than they normally do.
this 100%. and so many things have been politicized which then causes revisionist/selective history that it's hard to trust a lot of the content... sadly. I used to have so much faith and hope in wikipedia.
Use a <Link /> if you want prefetching and client-side transitions, use just an <a /> if you want to opt out of that.

It also sounds like the author is complaining about Next.js/Gatsby not having an option that doesn't even make sense in the first place. "static site builds in both Next.js and Gatsby can’t make use of server-side rendering functionality" - What does this even mean? Of course a static site build won't have SSR.

later-no-harm is a bug not a feature. it's the whole reason IRV is so vulnerable to tactical voting.

https://clayshentrup.medium.com/later-no-harm-72c44e145510

for instance, alaska just elected peltola even though begich was preferred to peltola by a large 5% margin. palin voters preferred begich to peltola 10-to-1. but IRV ignored their 2nd choices. therefore they would have been better off strategically ranking begich as their favorite.

whereas with approval voting, once they cast a strategic vote for begich, it's safe to approve palin (and anyone else they prefer to their lesser evil). this is, in a nutshell, why score voting and approval voting (rated, not ranked, methods) are so superior. this is social choice theory 101.

IRS reminds taxpayers they must check a box on Form 1040, 1040-SR or 1040-NR on virtual currency transactions for 2021

IR-2022-61, March 18, 2022

WASHINGTON — The IRS reminds taxpayers that there is a virtual currency question at the top of Form 1040, Form 1040-SR and Form 1040-NR. It asks: "At any time during 2021, did you receive, sell, exchange, or otherwise dispose of any financial interest in any virtual currency?"

All taxpayers filing Form 1040, Form 1040-SR or Form 1040-NR must check one box answering either "Yes" or "No" to the virtual currency question. The question must be answered by all taxpayers, not just taxpayers who engaged in a transaction involving virtual currency in 2021...

Do it! Keep a spare guitar around with just that tuning! Even allowing for inflation, nice guitars are still incredibly cheap by historical standards. If you want an acoustic,I don't think you can go wrong with any guitar on this first page:

I'm less enthusiastic about the low-cost electrics; probably want to go at least $200 and maybe something from guitarfetish.com instead.
For a more cultural example, I don't think today's teenagers would captivated by watching the Beatles perform on the Ed Sullivan show in the same way as those who did back when it aired. Not just because they have already heard the songs, but because what it means to listen to music as an adolescent has changed so much. Watching people perform rock music on television isn't special, and songs about wanting to kiss and hold hands aren't considered risqué.
That sounds like a pretty sensible approach if you believe in Many-Worlds.
> Or, as I believe the OP is trying to point out, truth is what is. Just because people used to believe that maggots spontaneously generated doesn't mean it was true. The knowledge was false because the reality did not behave in accordance with the supposed knowledge.

This is problematic for a few reasons I can see:

1) we often do not have access to 'what is' (and worse: sometimes we do not or can not realize it)

2) because of the ~"cultural unacceptability) of (1), we often define truth ~"colloquially", or by 'consensus' (although, it isn't necessarily actually based on consensus), and the public is often not notified

3) A philosophical definition of Truth is typically Justified True Belief, and the True part is often taken for granted (because of (1), or otherwise) as True (or is colloquial/consensus 'Truth') while people are focused on the Justified part

4) There is Objective Truth and Perceptual Truth (which can be planted), and as the saying goes: Perception is Reality

5) For certain topics, many people seem to lack the ability to desire to know what is True (typically: matters of War, Gender, Religion, Sexuality, Morals, Operating Systems, etc etc etc)

6) Linguistics, semantics, semiotics, etc - there is an infinite amount of complexity across the entire pipeline

>> you realize that the objective, material world as such does not have to contain true or false statements about itself.

> It does though. Gravity is stable on earth for the foreseeable future. Therefore, if I jump off a cliff, I will fall. This is true. It doesn't matter what flawed knowledge I gather that says otherwise, that would conflict with the reality.

Speaking of (6) above: the claim was "does not have to", and you rejected it with a single instance of a single scenario where a true statement is possible (it is not possible in all scenarios) - one experiment can disprove a theory, but one experiment cannot absolutely confirm a theory is true. And this is on Hacker News, which is populated by genuinely smart people.

> Reality is truth.

Portions of it are, but far from all of it is. Consider the beliefs of Trump supporters, conspiracy theorists, etc - these are a part of reality...the beliefs may not be True, but they are Real...and, they can exert a force that is both Real and True (despite what underlies being only Real). Thus, the (seemingly) unreal/untrue has a way of "seeping/morphing" into Reality, and Truth (in a sense).

> The material world consists of truth simply by existing, and falsehoods arise when people try to conform reality to an idea that is wrong.

Material/physical reality is only a portion of the whole: there is also metaphysical reality.

Oh, I just mean in terms of not looking like an idiot or a jackass for believing in nonsense. Safer bet is to stick to the facts, or at least be aware of the limit of the facts and know when you've left them behind.
And my point is if your definition for a thing is so expansive that everything can fit, it seems a poor definition.
That’s wonderful but I don’t think it’s representative. It’s basically just a weird flex at a certain point to use that as a societal goal post.

I’d love to have my own airport and marina, but I’m not sure that’s the goals we should be using to create a society.
Neural networks are modeled after the neurons in human brains, so by definition, the way NNs learn approximates the way humans learn.

That's more due to the very low quality of news.
First of all, the entire field of psychiatry is very dubious. It's nothing similar to a mature science. They aren't really doing objective evaluations. For example, very often, if you really want to take a medication, you almost certainly can find someone who'd write you a prescription for it. [1]

Also, why would someone's academic qualifications entitle them to essentially sentence a suicidal person to death?

[1]: e.g "Also, if by some chance a psychiatrist doesn’t give a patient Adderall, that patient practically always goes to another psychiatrist, and that next psychiatrist does." (https://slatestarcodex.com/2017/12/28/adderall-risks-much-mo...)
It's clearly a scientific issue, but also a social issue. There is a scientific definition of what a woman is, and there is a social definition (which is very close to the scientific definition, but which does depend a bit on culture and which can change over time). A lot of the debate comes from people talking past one another, without acknowledging that they're using the same word to discuss different topics.

Hi, I am the creator of https://feather.so - one of the solutions mentioned in the replies.

Many of my customers blogs were on the front page of HN multiple times, and no they did not go down.

The reason being I host everything on cloudflare workers and have a Bunny CDN in front of it. So all the Notion content stays in Bunny Edge Storage in the form of JSON.

When you get a visit, I read from Bunny storage/CDN instead of reading directly from Notion. So, yeah, it won't get rate limited.
They're probably smart enough to use LLC's and other shell companies, several layers deep.
Ever notice how books seem to be the same size? But taking a closer look, the font sizes vary, the line spacing varies, the margin width varies, even the thickness of the paper varies quite a bit.

This means the actual word count varies quite a bit. Page count is not a good indicator.
Good question! There is a button that’s always visible in the corner, and yes it is an embed from a third party service so I suppose it might be getting blocked, or overlooked otherwise. I’ll try replacing it with my own UI and prompting for feedback after key interactions and see if that helps.
I hope nobody tries to play partisan politics on this one.

It is confusing because between all the different levels of being static or server side rendered or client side rendered, next.js can pretty much do (and potentially mix) them all, right?

I'm quite confused on _why_ they want next to act like this? You can use anchor tags to force a browser navigation, but what does it get you? You're still loading JS bundles and it's not like <Link /> breaks anything like history or open in new tab. People put turbolinks in their rails app to get something that works half as well.

You could also use unstable_disableRuntimeJs on some pages and your <Link /> will still fully degrade to act like a completely server rendered page.
They shut it down because PR disasters were adding up due to security breaches from not having enough people paying attention to it.
Are you suggesting that people who aren't devoted to the cause of secure communication are not allowed to derive any benefits from secure communication?
There's only so many people who have a valid use-case for having multiple blogs. The limiting factor to getting good content out to lots of people isn't how many blogs they have, it's how many good articles they can write and in how long of a timespan.
I believe Mastodon servers (and presumably, most of the rest) have a bootstrap list of other instances which they automatically federate with. If a user attempts to interact with an instance unknown to the server it then reaches out and begins federation. The user can follow, reply to and read the content on that server immediately, although sometimes it can take a little time for a full list of posts and profile data to appear. Admins can also choose various levels of blocking against federation of instances of their choice.

As a user this is all transparent. I follow loads of people from all over the Fedi (some of them not even microblogging platforms) and it basically just works.

>It’s an incredibly common cause of anxiety in math education

I question whether this can be a root cause of anxiety. Simply not understanding stuff does not normally cause anxiety. Most people don't get anxious looking at, for example, Chinese characters.

On the other hand, imputing that something should be frightening can actually cause a fear response:

Teaching students that incomprehensible math should frighten them doesn't seem like a good approach. There are no grades or critical teachers when you're passively reading a Wikipedia article.
Nah, there is an actual tendency to make books longer for no good reason.
>The risk of my home catching on fire each year due to any electrical issue is 0.04%. The risk of me dying or being injured due to such an issue is 0.00004%.

You mean you'll only die or get injured in one out of a thousand home fires? That seems really low. But I'm picking nits.
The author's opinion seems to come down to how different JS frameworks support SSR, which is a very specific problem. Outside of SSR, which is primarily meant to appease The Google, I think said opinion would be diminished because most JS frameworks are redundant in every other domain.
Like I said, that would be the first law of it's kind. We have zero laws that specify how a website is operated on the technical level. Or how it's engineered or designed. Nothing exists that is comparable to what is being proposed.
If your 1000 hits is roughly reasonable to you, mind if I ask how you find so many sources? In something I'm interested in, I rarely find even a dozen hits on things that seem vaguely related. And for more than half of those, I can't even find access.
is there a library most people use?
>So I went the other route, filed a claim in small claims court. I provided the judge everything I sent to the credit union. Judgement was in my favor. Now he owes me the $4500. How do I collect? I can’t legally garnish any wages.

Where I live, after 30 days of the debtor failing to pay the judgment, you'd make an appointment with the sheriff, bring a check for $35 and they'd attempt to enforce it for you; including garnishing wages, seizing property (real or personal) etc etc.

I'm not surprised you didn't get far with police reports and fraud filings: breach of contract is not necessarily fraud.
OS/2 4.0 “Weft”
Of course, there are plenty of worthwhile cultural expressions online - it would be disingenuous to write off the entirety of modern popular culture as "shallow memes and 2 minute youtube videos." What we lack isn't depth, information and meaning but the power of a unified pop-cultural zeitgeist created by having cultural expression gatekept and controlled by a few broadcasters and media conglomerates.

If you want to know examine how America views war and its effects on the people who were not just in combat but trying to pick up the pieces of the destruction it produced, you have options beyond the blind, scheduled consumption of a single sitcom, however well written.

One of wikipedias biggest issues is its inability to cope with words that have different but overlapping meanings.
You say far more than any artist but I m not so sure. When we spend 20 years looking at stuff before doing one passably interesting work of art (bar absolute outlying geniuses), it's not a small time nor a small training cost. It may feel easy for us but our brain never stop ingesting information for decades before being original enough.
Is there any good alternative to bash for stringing together multiple commands with pipes and redirections?

"Real" programming languages usually have painful-to-use APIs for calling commmands, redirecting output, piping one command to another, etc.
You could just skip the bulk of books 7-10 and put yourself on track to finishing. I just skimmed the eventful parts of them and I didn't miss much after starting Knife of Dreams.

While I don't avoid long books I would take the "life's too short" mentality when it comes to the entire Wheel of Time series.
Thanks so much, appreciated for your time and willing.

Malcom Gladwell books are like this. He started out as a magazine writer and was excellent at it, his New Yorker articles are delightful. When he started writing books they just ended up being the ideas of a magazine article in book length.

Dear Ukrainians!

An important decision was made today. It's fair. Legally perfect. Historical.

Ukraine confirmed its respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Japan, including its Northern territories, which are still under Russian occupation.

Today, I signed the relevant decree. There is a corresponding statement of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine. And we call on everyone in the world to make similar decisions.

Russia has no right to these territories. Everyone in the world knows this well. And we must finally act.

We must de-occupy all the lands that the Russian occupiers are trying to keep for themselves.

You're right about reference [2], which can alter things by ~1 order of magnitude (words are usually ~3-10 tokens).
Additionally as others have pointed out, we don't live entirely in the text world. So, we have the nice benefit of understanding objects from visual and proprioceptive inputs, which is huge.
The paucity of data argument made well-known by Noam Chomsky et al is certainly worth discussing in academia; however, I am not as moved by these arguments of the stark differences in input required between humans and ML as I once was.
In image processing for example, sending 10k images in rapid succession with no other proprioceptive inputs, time dependencies, or agent-driven exploration of spaces puts these systems at an enormous disadvantage to learn certain phenomenon (classes of objects or otherwise).

Of course there are differences between the systems, but I'm beginning to be more skeptical that saying that the newer ML system can't learn as much as biological systems given the same input (obviously this is where a lot is hidden).
They take cash.
I spent a few years as both an SRE and a SWE at Google. I joined Google in an SRE team - prior to that, I was a developer at another company who did have a lot of operational experience. My experience is a bit dated but I can try to answer your questions as best as I can.

In my case, the adjustment from SWE to SRE was not very difficult since I had done a lot of operational work before.

The oncall was not very intense even though my team supported a critical product. IMO, Google handles operations and SRE much better than most other companies I have worked at. My SRE team was split between two locations in different timezones so, I never had to be woken up at night. I was also very well compensated for time spent oncall (as bonuses) which I have not seen at other companies.

I don't think your lack of operational experience will hurt, if you have the learning mindset. My goal was to learn how Google operates services at scale and even with previous operational experience, I learned a lot. I had coworkers who came from a pure development background and thrived in the role.

The split between operational work and project work can depend upon the team. The goal is to have a healthy balance and some teams manage this better than others. However, project work may not always involve development and it is easy to feel distanced from the user. This was one of the reasons I switched out of SRE after a few years - I felt like I wasn't coding enough and building features for users.

I definitely have no regrets about being on an SRE team - I learned a lot and would consider going back to join one again.

Thank you for a rarely heard voice of reason among the sea of self-help-inspired virtue signaling.

I find this culture of explicit expectation of anyone being able to become anything at any age deeply depressing - not just for myself, but for society as a whole. It’s not hard to see the rising depression rates and the obvious relevant pathway towards it - society producing unrealistic expectations in the individual only to be shattered by uncaring reality X years later. This extreme blank slate-ism is simply inhumane at this point.

We should acknowledge your simple model of individual human potential dependent on genetics, age and early learning. We should accept the fact that human neuroplasticity is a rapidly falling curve when plotted by age.

With these truths in place we could develop objective evidence-based models of human potential and derive solid advice from these.

Only such advice I would consider humane, while feel-good verbalizing should be considered abuse.

If you think about it, professional sports training is structured not unlike this scheme. I wonder why we can’t accept this method for broader and more important sections of society.
About as condescending as your reaction to the project using Electron.
I don't think it makes much sense as a business. AliExpress is littered with retro devices that have as much emulation oof as a 2010ish Mac Mini. There are a lot of little emulation focused Android/Linux boxes as well as emulation focused Mini PCs out there these days.

"These tests have been performed on Google Cloud Platform using n2d-standard-16 (8 vCPUs, 32 GB memory) and 1x375GB NVME in RAID0 in us-east4."

Am I missing something? Is there some configuration of RAID0 that allows you to use a single drive? Or is this just a confusing way of saying they have one logical drive available, because the two attached NVME drives are configured in RAID0?
Yeah I have been there for so much. But I need to make good sums of money to live but I need to make more. Actually what I meant with “broke” is not actually poor but just enough to roll the dice let’s say.
