Mastodon confused me for the longest time as well. Which community do I join? If I create an account on "federatedplumbers.example" why would I interact with a community and follow people at "federatedshoelacecollectionists.example"? Shouldn't I create an account at both communities and interact with each separately? This is what we do now by having a twitter account and a facebook acount, and a etc... A twitter account doesn't ever talk to a facebook account.

Then I saw someone do something I hadn't seen before...

They made their own mastodon insance: toot.firstlastname.example and their identity was @joey@toot.firstlastname.example

Joey could make his own toot feed of social media posts that anyone at any community could subscribe to.

Joey could then subscribe to the entire community at federatedplumbers.example, or he could follow just one user: @phoebe@federatedplumbers.example. Then @monica@federatedshoelacecollectionists.example could follow @joey@firstlastname.example and so on.

It doesn't matter where you start an account. You can join a community that you really like or start from scratch with your own instance and go and make friends in other communities. The real advantage with starting your own is that you have control over your content and aren't in danger of having your account shut down if a community decides it can no longer maintain the server.
That article has loads of assertions of personal opinions of the author and besides a glaring lack of evidence, didn't even bothering googling how the local public radio editorial policy isn't centralized. Consider that NPR does not have a radio broadcast at all. Affiliates do. Affiliates who can air any combination of content produced in house, by NPR or by other affiliates all catering to local markets. Local affiliates derive most of their funding from members but NPR is prohibited from soliciting which is why they also have corporate sponsors. The sponsors do not exert editorial control and don't even have access to affiliates who determine what goes to air.
Many people don't make it to 80, and many people who do have serious dementia and would be on social services by then anyways.

If you read that, you will walk away thinking aliens have not visited this planet. Probably definitively believe it. The reality is, we have no fing clue if they have or not. You can feel the skeptics just edit all day long denying anything.

I'm sure by 2050 the article on god's existence will be less discussion on both sides and just say that people that believe are crazy.

If anything remotely falls under "pseudoscience" even if there is science backing parts of it up, wikipedia just completely bombs the crap out of believers.

Came here to say this.

Personally: the lower the “action to result” latency, the more compelling and tactile something is.

We all know about the sub 100ms “golden zone”, but if something is ~10ms (custom hardware with optimized software) it’s significantly more real to me, and if something is <1ms it’s almost irresistible.

Like; 100ms is the barrier to entry and it goes up logarithmically from there.
Risk factor for contribution made at each phase in a startup?
I'm looking for your opinions on this question with the end goal to create a 'rule of thumb' guide. I'll use the results for a product I'm building and credit HN.

In any bootstrapped startup, web3 community, DAO etc the initial founders wear the early risk. The founders’ experiments may fail and their work may be worthless up until the product gains traction. Over time the community gets behind the mission and ultimately the product “meets the market” and garners paying customers. At this point the risk is 1:1 meaning effort is directly remunerated.

A startup evolves through phases of risk (from A “high” to E “low”) as a product progresses from Idea to Market. Phase Outcome & Examples of Activities:

A = Minimum Viable Product (ideation, building, iterations)
B = Product Beta (gathering early customer feedback, iterations)
C = Market Ready (creating promotional materials, raising capital)
D = Active Community Established (growth and engagement campaigns)
E = Paying Customers

QUESTION:

What is the risk factor of the contribution made at each phase?
E.g.:
If you think A is 100x
Then A = 100.

YOUR ANSWER:

A = ?x
B = ?x
C = ?x
D = ?x
E = 1x

Share your opinion on the [?]x values and rationale if you like.

It is actually a better question than I initially thought.

the question actually challenges all sorts of assumptions we make about how the internet works. in this regards it reminds me of IPFS.

And while ipfs has some very cool tech the main thing it has problems with are names. ipfs has no names, which sucks. there is a name system ipns but it does not help much.

ipfs does a publish/subscribe subsystem which I find one of the most compelling parts. it is however considered experamental and inefficient.

this did not stop me from writing a distributed video streaming system using it. which turns out to suck, no names, and, even on my local network I was getting ~ 2 minutes of lag, no one would put up with that for streaming.

Lots of love for the Casio Lineage line, which brings together the Tough Solar + multiband aspects with analog-looking thin profile. Check out the LCW-M100DSE-1AER model[1], my daily driver.

As a kid, I've always liked the toughness of G-Shock watches. Especially grew fond of the tough solar multiband radio-synched ones.

As I grew up I wanted a sleeker look, less dorky, smaller footprint, ideally analog, or at least not looking like digital = cheap. The kind of thing that just looks like a Swatch would, but with the good old features. The Lineage brand is just that, offshoot of the latest G-Shock models. Someone else mentioned the Edifice and Oceanus lines as siblings, they're worth a look too, with different featureset.

Home ownership rate in the US had been over 60% for a long time. Because of that there is a high chance that your apartment neighbors grew up in a detached home and have no habits that apartment dwellers teach their children. Combined with the fact that apartments are usually temporary accommodations this can produce very disruptive neighbors.

This is not unique to America, all the countries that went through rapid urbanization that moved millions of former farmers from detached homes into city apartments have an archetype of a rural rube unable to accommodate to communal living with strangers.

Sad, especially when Ryzen chips have dual 10G support in the silicon, but only enables in on some products in the name of product differentiation. Dual 10G cards are generally still pretty expensive, and motherboards with dual 10G are often several $100 more than the 1G version ... even when the 10G is supported by the CPU, like on the Xeon D series.

So basically people are still willing to pay more for 10G, and 2.5G is now the "free" upgrade. So my Comcast model, random Ryzen motherboard, and random SFF desktop all came with 2.5G. Sadly same on the Apple side, the Mac mini has an optional 10G, and you have to upgrade to the $$$$ Mac studio to get 10G by default.
That's your subjective prescriptive notion of what government ought to be about.

I want my government to protect me from my fellow man who sometimes wishes to harm me. If someone punches me or spews leaded petrol in my face, the government should intervene under the enforcement of the non-aggression principle.

Even minarchist conceptions of government understand this basic idea. It seems that yours doesn't.

It'll be in good company with dialing, film, photograph, watching the tube, etc.

Actually photograph was already out of date, because graph had morphed from "to write" to making any kind of image. Which itself I believe meant something akin to inscription /engraving.

Actually while photograph may no longer be a graph as in image on a surface, in some ways it's still an image impressed on rocks. Made using lithography. Have we gotten closer to its roots?

Last I checked, UPS and FedEx literally (ab)use USPS as cheap last-mile delivery service which it is obligated to fulfill (at a loss). And they _certainly_ can and do deliver letters. They just don't often (and not to mailboxes, which are reserved for USPS), because people aren't willing to pay for it under normal circumstances. Despite these things... UPS and FedEx seem to do pretty good business, don't they? Remind me of the problem?

And uh... I can count on 0 hands the number of times I've heard of the USPS arresting anyone. Bet you can too.

The USPS is a bit of an anomaly in that its responsibilities are carved out in the constitution! Still interested to hear of other real world examples.
I think we are in a changepoint time where we need to think about how to make privacy serve the user. By that, I mean it's no longer acceptable to cite the legal standard, but the ethical one. If you collect data, it should be to serve the user. Additionally, any data not used operationally (keep the service running) should have either be limited by purpose ("we will not use your data to target anything to you") or via true anonymization (differential privacy).

If it's not beneficial to the user for you to have this data, you shouldn't have it.
The Chicxulub mega-earthquake: evidence from Colombia, Mexico, and the U.S.
"According to the team's simulation:

* One hour after impact, the tsunami had spread outside the Gulf of Mexico and into the North Atlantic.

* Four hours after impact, the waves had passed through the Central American Seaway and into the Pacific.

* Twenty-four hours after impact, the waves had crossed most of the Pacific from the east and most of the Atlantic from the west and entered the Indian Ocean from both sides.

* By 48 hours after impact, significant tsunami waves had reached most of the world's coastlines.
That's already done. For example, Ubuntu has probably brought more people to free software than Debian.

The argument I and other people are making is that the FSF's goals are being achieved but not by the FSF.
"This tsunami was strong enough to disturb and erode sediments in ocean basins halfway around the globe, leaving either a gap in the sedimentary records or a jumble of older sediments," said lead author Molly Range, who conducted the modeling study for a master's thesis under U-M physical oceanographer and study co-author Brian Arbic and U-M paleoceanographer and study co-author Ted Moore."
I would guess it's probably physics. Specifically the complexity of the signal path routing for the predictor core must be pretty heavily optimized, and probably are where AMD (and Intel) have invested heavily in advanced design software - their secret sauce - to push the chip right to the edge of what semiconductor physics can achieve.

The branch predictor is one of the most highly optimized pieces of the CPU core. Lots of discussion has been had about how the arm architecture's frontend is simpler, so for example Apple's chips have way more execution units. Intel and AMD's latest designs have also expanded the number of execution units, but the frontend instruction decode and dispatch is the "serial" part of the process, reading the incoming instruction stream. And the x86 instruction set is hard to decode, with a lot of variation in the number of bytes per instruction. So for the instruction decoder to even know there's a branch coming up is a "hard problem," and then it predicts which way the branch will go.
I'd say this motion is basically meaningless and all it means is "Fuck you Russia, in five hundred different ways, and if there's one more way I can say Fuck You I'll find it and do it!"

Last spring, the Ukrainian government tweeted the picture of Hitler, Mussolini, and Hirohito together, saying "Fascism and Nazism were defeated in 1945." Japan complained, and Ukraine apologized and took it down [1].

That is, Ukrainian officers don't really have a deep understanding of East Asian politics, and why would they - it's not their problem, and they have a much much bigger problem at home right now.

> all non-essential flights should be banned

You clearly don't realize that a huge percentage of the "hobby" flying you are proposing banning is either training related or part of the 1500 hours of flight time required by law before one can become an airline pilot. Your suggestion would result in even fewer pilots being available in a few short years, when we're already seeing a huge shortage. If your goal is to shut down aviation as a whole, you're on track...
I’ve played with people like you and bravo on acquiring the skills. I was good enough to play through to credits without losing a round. But I knew people that could do it blindfolded without taking a single hit. I had no chance on 2 player against them. For me it started with Street Fighter 2. One summer when I was probably 10 or 11, when the arcade came out, the corner store near my house had it and along with unlimited refills on the soda fountain. They had some special hypercolor cup that you paid $5 for and got free drinks all summer. They didn’t factor in kids hanging out for 12 hours a day playing the new game they brought in. Or maybe they did, we put a lot of quarters down those games.

They brought MK in later and it was a solid few years of summer memories.
Please add the expected [in mice] mysteriously missing from the headline itself
I don't think it is the designer's fault, it is the fault of data driven culture done poorly and picking the wrong incentives. In your example, if the dialog is say for a system upgrade, the metric would be percentage of users finishing the upgrade. An annoying, non dismissable notification would clearly boost this metric. Any decrease in user satisfaction short of public revolt on social media will not be noticed, or will be noticed over a time scale too long to be attributable to the notification change. By that time the PM has already taken credit for decreasing the number of users running old software.

I'm not sure actually, I have a local NAS/Server rack where I store work related datasets (think a few hundred/thousands 12-15GB .h5 files). And while I definitely don't need instant or even super fast access to them, I'm sure it wouldn't hurt either. We already have tons of optimizations and usually process datasets in a cloud environment with "good" IOPS/Network[1] speeds, but it is still faster to use locally in some situations. 10Gbe gear would be a nice to have to avoid bottlenecks within the LAN... but I just realized that I'm making a good case for just shelling out more money instead of cheaping out haha.

I completely understand the difficulty, but so far I haven't heard of whether or not Signal is even working on getting rid of phone numbers.

Also worth mentioning that Matrix isn't just working on encrypting contacts databases. They are also working on decentralization, which is a much more difficult problem. So I'm not surprised that they are running into issues every once and a while (though Signal has had security problems in the past too [1])

For what it's worth, the whitepaper for their VPN makes some pretty strong claims to user privacy, with the VPN client being open source. Normally Google's privacy policies are fairly vague, but this seems to be very clear about the claims and what is/isn't logged. Maybe all the Cohort/Privacy Sandbox things makes IP somewhat irrelevant anyway, and they're just banking on folks who will continue to provide data through other Google services? I really can't speak for the true privacy implications of using the VPN, but I found this interesting.

> frowned-upon by the Sudoku community

{citation-needed}

What community, and does it include mathematicians and logicians?

Sudoku puzzles that are solvable without guessing must be generated in a way that this is assured.

There is also an understanding that Sudoku puzzles should have exactly one solution.

It's possible for Sudoku puzzles to have a unique solution, yet be impossible to solve without guessing and backtracking. The process of deduction reaches a point at which it cannot be deduced what value to fill next into what square. It is narrowed down to several possibilities, which have to be pursued in parallel; e.g with backtracking. You follow all the paths, and discard them, returning to the divergent point, whenever a contradiction is reached: violation of the Sudoku constraints.

You can't just frown upon some solution method which is inescapable.

Very interesting take. I think I also noticed a change in my thought processes around coding when I started gardening.

You can never defeat the weeds; so you have to be vigilant and pull the early before they drop seed.

I find the same practice also works well in code: consistent "weed pulling" to keep things tidy.

Weren't your purchases impacted the quality of life you had at the moment? I don't know your particular context, but living in the moment vs. preparing for future is an old and common theme to many (i.e. almost all) of us, and buyer's remorse is a real but unfair frame of thought to judge ourselves. Also, investment requires discipline and foresight (intelligence) that come a bit later, as we grow. I for one, am glad for acquiring the benefits of that growth when I did, although it didn't hurt to have had it earlier.
I appreciate your perspective, but it seems the security team should be watching for reverse proxies, tunnels, and other firewall anomalies for on-prem hardware just as a normal course of biz. And if a PI installs a self-managed server, that really should not gum up the works.

True! It sometimes drops even more, which definitely makes spot instances attractive. The r5.16xlarges had a ~80% discount and a <5% termination rate for while.

Also, if all of scientific computing switched to AWS in order to exploit spot instance pricing, I don't think those market dynamics would stay the same.

As an aside, I've had trouble created large clusters of high memory instances in us-east-2. They might have increased capacity recently, though.
