Brave is a bit of a political football because the CEO is Brendan Eich, who left Mozilla after a very short tenure as CEO due to controversy about his opposition to same sex marriage.

So that makes him a hero-by-default to a variety of conservatives - some who think his political views unfairly eclipsed his technical achievements, some who feel his free speech was curtailed, some who are just homophobes. Eich hasn't talked much about the issue since so it's hard to say how much of this support is rooted in people projecting their own feelings onto him. Brave also appeals to the crypto crowd because it has its own token with which you can earn and/or redistribute 'Brave Attention Tokens.'

I don't know that the behavior around Brave is any sort of astroturfing in the sense of being coordinated; it could just be organic behavior by people who happen to have similarly narrow reasons for preferring it.
Yes, this is 100% possible with the core ansible toolkit.

I don't have a copy of any of our playbooks on this as I'm at home and it's late. But it's basically just a couple of tasks.

Check out `ansible.builtin.pip` to setup and install the virtualenv and then just call `ansible.builtin.command` to run it explicitly. Implicit use of the venv can be accomplished via common task argument `env` which also lets one fiddle with PATH.

Are their desktop PCs built around standard boards? I presume their 'Thelio' is Mini-ITX form factor?

It sounds condescending of them to omit the exact model names of their hardware in their 'tech specs' section. I, for one, would like to know what exact model of motherboard I would be getting when I choose 'AMD' or 'Intel Advanced' in the 'Platform' section. Same goes for RAM, SSD, etc.
Honestly, and this isn’t something I’d ever thought of until just now, it’s probably reasonable to assume that most Starlink ground terminals (the ones that users install at their homes and businesses) sit in a fixed location. It would be complex to do, but I suspect you could probably get quite good orbital positioning in reverse by using all of the fixed ground terminals as a giant reference set. If the terminals themselves have GPS receivers built-in, the whole system could pretty readily bootstrap itself (each GT sits and continuously averages its own GPS position and clock offset, then transmits that up to the overhead SVs as they pass by). Even without GNSS receivers in the GTs, though, you could probably still rely on the Starlink-owned GTs to know their own positions very accurately and augment the whole thing using the “static user GT” assumption. GTs that did move would just be treated as noise in the whole thing.

It’s been a while since I’ve done this kind of math, but it sounds like a really fun problem!

This reminds me of the difference between Siri and Google Assistant when voice assistants first came out.

Google was always no-nonsense, no jokes, just giving you want you're trying to get. It doesn't pretend to be a person, it acts like what it is: a tool. It's a voice interface for looking up information and accomplishing tasks.

Siri, on the other hand, was a "person" that would try to respond like it was a person. Compliment Siri and you'd get a response saying "Thank you" or some such thing. It provided some entertainment when you'd ask Siri weird personal stuff and see how she'd respond.

Some people may like Siri, but I always found it tacky. It was trying too hard to be cute instead of useful. I appreciate the no-nonsense Google approach instead of Siri.

Perhaps the balance in these attributes have changed since they first rolled out, but the difference was very stark at first.

My biggest problem with this is that AWS does not seem to have any (easy) API driven way to do this. Even if you need one instance you need to literally use their Fleet API to be able to specify these conditions.

I just want to specify the allowed instances in my CreateInstance command. Create an instance in these subnets, with these allowed instances, preferably a spot instance, but if none exists I’ll be happy with a normal one.
The lack of protected memory was pretty insidious—essentially the kernel relied on application memory for its own internals in MacOS, and reentrancy was a problem for, oh, everything. Copland was to fix that first problem though (but only for new apps).

Why do you think government spending specifically is the problem? I strongly doubt there is a crowding-out effect going on with the things that the US government has been spending money on lately. And all that spending has been financed by debt; it's not like income taxes have been going up. The big increases to cost of living have come in the form of energy, housing, and healthcare. I'm not sure how government spending would cause that, unless you are arguing that the spending has been misallocated.

Put another way, according to Johns Hopkins, there have been a total of 24,079,325 reported cases of infection in the UK. That means a smidge more than 8% of infected people are suffering from prolonged symptoms as they are defined in this study.

That is statistically significant, but not exactly overwhelming by my personal yardstick of whether or not I'd gamble money on it. Not exactly scientific, I know.
Yes, there are some studies indicating that vaccines may cause long covid. This of course raises the interesting question about where vaccine reactions end and long covid begins.

https://www.science.org/content/article/rare-cases-coronavir...

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35084966/

Further, the vaccine is associated with lengthened menstrual cycle times in women. Some have conjectured this is due to the Lipid Nano-particles from the vaccine coalescing into the ovaries and to a lesser extent in the testes (as happened in Pfizer mice trial data released earlier this year and was opposite of their public statements about those particles staying in the muscle tissue around the injection site). Combining the two raises the question about if that is a spurious correlation and the actual cause is the spike protein itself.

I have had the exact opposite experience than what you describe, and I use WSL 2 and the Windows Store daily.

the integration between WSL 2 and Windows is alive and well, I assure you.

most times I hear of something like this at work, like very odd problems I've never seen before, I will sit with the person and observe what they do before problems come up. every single time it is because they have some custom thing they do or apply or install "to all [their] windows systems out of the box" which "makes things better" somehow, but in reality always seems to make things break. these people are always smart people who knew very well how Windows worked 20 years ago and are unaware of just how much has changed in those two decades. damn near everything has changed, FYI. the old ways no longer work in a lot of cases.

those old tweaks mostly cause problems today. I'll show them what to do to stop windows from doing whatever it was that it did back then, in the rare event that windows still does the same things, and magically a lot of their issues simply stop being issues immediately.

your mileage may vary, but if you have problems, I would look closely at any customizations you've made, if any. maybe you've made none, I don't know. I no longer make any, and I no longer have the problems I hear others having.

So many people here do not know the details of NYC rent regulation, and are posting generalizations and falsehoods.

Basically, you cannot raise rents aside from annual increases that are below inflation, and you are limited to a relatively small amount of renovations, and cannot increase the rents much if you do.

So you either commit to a potentially multi lifetime below market tenancy that will bankrupt you eventually, or you keep it vacant and hope to demolish it or combine units or pray that the law will change.

Or sell it to a guy who will run air bnbs until the city puts him out of business at which point it will go in the tax lien sale. In any event, nobody is investing in bringing these units back online in this legislative environment.
There are many, many bot posts. More so re-posting other highly-upvoted comments from related threads, or re-posting previously posted pictures/videos/links, but bots are certainly farming karma.
> Reasonable people" are extreme outliers — they're people who will take raw facts, explore their implications, and then use those implications to argue themselves into having different political beliefs, grinding the facts against their mental toolkit until the mental toolkit is what gets broken and reshaped. They're people who are willing to accept and internalize "repugnant conclusions" if they're inescapable due to the facts at hand; without first requiring a lens through which the conclusion can be made non-repugnant to them.

If I could offer a different perspective: reasonable people are people who understand and see their own irrationality for what it is. There is no process of breaking and reshaping, they simply see their broader thought pattern in a way that is unchanging. While different phases of thought come and go (along with political beliefs that follow), reasonable people understand the temporal nature of their current configuration and the inherent irrationality of the world and themselves. Out of this they create an unshakeable sense of direction for themselves that transcends any attempts to sidetrack it

What do you think Insomnia and/or Stoplight?
Holy crap. If I owned one of these, I'd also let it fall into disrepair until the city condemned it, then build literally anything else:

> Any time a tenant vacated, landlords received a “vacancy bonus” that let them increase the rent of the unit by up to 20%, and once an apartment’s rent reached a certain dollar amount — most recently, $2,774 a month — the unit left the rent-regulation system entirely, allowing the landlord to rent it at any price.

$2774 / month is definitely less than I'd want to charge to deal with a tenant that cannot be evicted, but whose apartment must be maintained using labor priced for NYC. I'd guess most of the apartments that are being held off-market are way below that threshold, and also need substantial repairs.
> While I have certainly paid my bills off the backs of folks who simply could not come to grips with whatever project was at hand I much prefer to see folks able to do for themselves and thereby avoid my markup

I've long thought (and would pay for) a skilled tradesman offering to do a job at double their usual hourly rate - with the condition I (the homeowner) works as their assistant being taught on the job would be a nice niche business for someone with the skills and network.

I'd have paid handsomely for a plumber to come teach me how to sweat pipes in a day or two and all the weird little gotchyas vs. me figuring it out by trial and error. There are other projects I'd love to start but get cold feet about the last 20% so I don't quite ever get there. I would rate myself as near the top of my network in terms of "handy" skills, but still lacking in direct experience.

I know how much of a PITA the average homeowner is, but man I'd love to be able to apprentice next to skilled pros doing work on my own home. Having someone to both teach and act as a safetynet if the project starts going sideways would be highly compelling to me.
This is unique from MultiMC in that it's able to use Curseforge's newer API for downloading mods & modpacks, and has an interface for browsing and searching for mods from both Curseforge and Modrinth.

Similar to MultiMC, it is a FOSS Minecraft launcher that only downloads Mojang code needed to login and shim the launch of the Minecraft java process, and is able to manage multiple instances with various different modding frameworks and version numbers involved. It even supports modding old versions using all the various old-school "jar mods" posted to the Minecraft forums around 2010-2011.

It is forked from PolyMC after a hostile takeover of PolyMC. It has all the same developers as PolyMC had.
The extra productivity isn’t going to the government via taxes on the common person, it’s going to those who already own most of the capital and can leverage that. Maybe the government also spends too much, but that’s not the root cause of the lack of the common person sharing in productivity gains.
I remember a similar New Yorker article ~5 years ago about medical imaging ML/AI where they realized it's good hit rate was actually a data artifact from training. Something along the lines that essentially all the positives had secondary scans and so there was a set of known positives which had say run through the same machine/lab and had similar label color & text markings in the margin of the imaging.

When they went back and tested with clean images that didn't basically have the "im a positive cuz I have this label over here in the margins", the hit rate dropped below that of humans.

It was an article with anecdotes about some of the hospice cats that seemingly are able to detect when a patient is about to die. Entirely possible as they have a sense of smell and patient tumors likely giving out detectable odors.

Nonetheless, the ML model & the cat were similarly inscrutable.

The fact that they include flatpaks together with normal packages is confusing though. They appear just the same in the pop_OS store and there are many duplicates because of that.

I am reminded of a very poignant monologue from Shawshank Redemption about men who have come to believe their impoverished existence is the only possible way they can continue living because of how long they have lived that way in an institution that was designed to forcefully modify their behavior.

I guess this is understandable given the impoverished online environment of HN and its non-transparent moderation rules/tactics. Hopefully that clears things up.
This doesn't even seem like a viable strategy. When you're on forms and you're discussing a topic you're interested in, you add that thread to your watch list. You come back to the forum and check on updates for the threads you are participating in, no amount of sliding will hide that. And as long as you're not replying too late, you're not necroing, no matter how much the thread has slid. You'd have to play this game before a thread even kicks off. And the amount of posts before the thread pages? And how fast you'd have to make them? Hard to hide that.
This might be off-topic...but you're saying these are devs with only 1-3 YOE, have a "don't care" attitude, and are employed at a MAANG company? I must really be naive b/c I thought it was only cream-of-the-crop that got employed at MAANG companies. I keep telling myself those companies are for other/better people, not me. So what exactly is the barrier to entry if these devs are working there? I always hear "study leet code" but thought it was a joke. Is that really it? Nail the formulaic interview and you're in? I ask sincerely b/c your coworkers sound like a joke. I consider myself a "senior" dev in experience and abilities and would love to work under/with a more senior dev with 15 YOE that wants to engage and educate.

>It's been discussed in many places on the internet before, but CGP Grey has a lot of profound misunderstandings around

It is not just CGP Grey; other popular channels also share tons of misunderstandings and stuff related to tech or science. I believe YouTube also favours popular channels because of the high likes and comments. They dominate both Google and YouTube searches. I started noticing this around topics like Firewalls, RPis, Linux, Coastal Erosion, Global Warming, open source etc. The reason why top YouTubers are popular is because of their presentation style. It would be best if you did your research using multiple sources. Ask a question to university professors on Twitter (or email them), and they will happily guide you to the right resources. At least, that is how I do it and it worked better for me. YMMV.

Much of modern deep learning is actually premised on the discovery that training on a large, noisy dataset _first_, and then fine tuning (starting training on new data with the same weights) is generally quicker to converge, and also more accurate.

This is part of the motivation for “foundation models”.

There’s another paradigm called student/teacher models where a randomly initialized model updates it’s weights according to another pretrained model. This could (maybe?) be used to achieve the desired effect of a model that learned in a “clean room”.
4k being 3860px thing doesn’t even matter. It’s still 4x the pixel count vs 1080p and looks excellent.

The real quality problem is bitrate, not raw resolution. A 1080p Blu-ray looks absolutely amazing on a 4K TV. Low-bitrate 4k looks like dogshit. I’d be ok with Netflix’s 1080p if the compression wasn’t so poor on some titles!
