you can audit a small number and know. sure the clerk can risk one, but statistically they are caught with enough.
Also big advertisers can stop spending because the people who make decisions on ad money spend ideologically disagree with Musk moderation policy. The decision makers are not robots, they have biases too.
No true conservative, eh?

I implore you (all) to consider this angle when complaining about "left" boogeymen. Do the fixie-riding anarchists represent the left? Do the alt-right racist and misanthropic school shooters represent the right? What of each side encourages these extremities? Further, which ones do commit societal (psychological, economic, etc.) damage?
It would be amazing if a council with diverse viewpoints could even sit together without killing each other in this day and age. Does this exist anywhere?
Twitter clearly has a problem of technical competence somewhere. It may be withing the people he is planning to change, or it may be somewhere else and those people are the only reason it barely works.

But the one thing that is obvious is that everything there is not fine.
You regard a country having its own currency as a privilege? When the UK was a member state, the EU mercifully ordained that they could have our own central bank? This view/attitude was a big part of why people wanted to leave.
If by questionable you mean hedonism, hell yeah, I'm right there with ya. If you mean "marrying" 13 year olds and possibly murdering your wives... we've got beef.
Yes, my guess is they piss off the least amount of people right now, Musk is likely to make it much worse. Still, I might get an edit button so I'll be happy about that!
In my experience with Twitter, and most situations, the who is the oppressor and who is the oppressed is largely subjective. There is very little objectivity. The old twitter way was; "any speech that makes me offended or uncomfortable is oppressive" ...which would ultimately lead to a shadow ban or permanent "suspension" of the account labelled as "oppressive."

A great example of this is the thousands, perhaps tens of thousands of accounts, which were permanently banned in October of 2021. Their own thought crime was posting revelations from Ashely Biden's diary and Hunter Biden's laptop. The excuse was " Russian disinformation" but news of late have proven Twitter's statement as clear disinformation in itself.

Musk had already said content that is illegal won't be permitted, and troublemakers will be dealt with, and that perma-ban will be final course, not the first & only.
I think the fundamental limitation is that a small character limit removes the opportunity for nuance. It is a trade off though - not many people will spend time reading nuanced essays. I’d say this is a big part of the polarization - there’s only enough room to basically say left or right and maybe indicate some magnitude to your belief, so you naturally end up with two parties.
Ive found the service fine. It took a couple weeks to get someone out when I had an inverter issue, but they auto-scheduled the service
There's actually pretty simple solution to the loading/unloading problem if you can assume that function signatures do not change. Just generate a wrapper function which has a R/W lock and then just calls the actual implementation while holding a R lock. To update the implementation, acquire a W lock and replace the implementation.

There is overhead, but I don't think it would be too bad. You could also probably reduce the overhead by doing something fancier like having the daemon inspect the stack frames of other threads (which is expensive, but presumably updates are extremely rare compared to calling functions).
We made a co-op horror game: Cursed Cabin It’s free, I appreciate any feedback
Hi everyone! I wanted to share a multiplayer horror game that I’ve been working on with a small team. Cursed Cabin is a co-op adventure game where players need to work together to solve puzzles and survive.

You and your friends found an old, abandoned cabin to hold the best summer break party to end all parties. But after getting dropped off, things start to turn south quickly, and not everything at this cabin is as it seems. Can you and your friends survive?

You can play by yourself, but I’d recommend you play with 3-5 players for the best experience. You can invite your friends to your lobby when you enter the game.

This is part 1 of a series. We’re releasing this in order to get feedback so we can improve on the sequels. Let us know what you think!
I sold my house and I still have the panels showing in my Tesla account as pending install ... except they installed them two years ago. Repeated emails to them and I still have access. Kinda tempted to try hitting the cancel install button to see what happens.
molex-to-SATA adapters melt all the time because the "molded" SATA connectors use thermoplastic that starts to soften well before it actually melts... and those plastic temperatures are low enough that you hit them in an average case. They are unsafe even for HDD usage let alone the (insane) people who use them for GPU mining rigs. Just get some custom 6-pin strings made, people, it's cheaper than burning your farm down lol

that said it's the SATA side that's the problem, not molex.

molex does have a reputation for scorching and arcing at higher current levels though. So does the Tamiya connector that is super common in the RC car world, terrible connector.
The researches adduce from those five findings that ball-rolling holds hedonic value for bumble bees.

One of those findings was that ball-rolling is "intrinsically rewarding" to a bee.

Isn't this what you call "begging the question"? It's hedonic because it is intrinsically rewarding.

The article ends with the quote:

"We are producing ever-increasing amounts of evidence backing up the need to do all we can to protect insects that are a million miles from the mindless, unfeeling creatures they are traditionally believed to be."

It gives me the impression the findings are driven by the agenda to save the bees. Which makes me feel conflicted since I support the aim and have lay interests in philosophy of mind.
Depends on what we mean by that; SpaceX might be what he takes the most pride in (due to the much longer-term vision, and more "grandiose" nature of space exploration). What I meant was that Tesla is his first priority, which he micromanages the most and spends the most time at.
It's far, far faster. I can edit multi-gigabyte files without thinking much about it, my last attempt to open a 10GB log with Emacs did not go well.

I also think it's got much better integration with Windows, though I can't point at anything in particular. (Its integration on MacOS is less wonderful).

It also helps that its defaults mostly line up with my own preferences in an editor, though this is highly subjective.
I like your opening question. A casual way to establish some context and rapport.

I’m not sure this is a competing take vs the article. More like complementary.

The article mainly says “add more details.” Eg. Don’t write “the system is broken” be specific about what’s broken, what you did, and if you need help.

Basically, don’t assume context.

The author takes himself to be some kind of writer, so he said it in too many words.
I chose markdown for a large project due to the reduce storage size and forced simplicity and abstraction.

I have to work with static data which will not change for 10 years, the only way to keep it alive is upcasting the internal structure and updating the conversion to html.

The project lives in a scientific environment but is used by a wide variety of people.

The project is now 5 years old and until next week there was no wysiwyg-editor (I'm currently working on it).
Satellite TV dishes don't transmit. Jamming and detection are very different.
Going forward, you're absolutely correct. I would have fewer objections to a Gen Z trans woman being woman of the year in 20-30 years, because odds are she could have transitioned young enough to be subject to sexism in her career and therefore yes, we should celebrate her overcoming that obstacle, just as we would a cis woman.

Also I have no problem with trans women receiving awards where they didn't have advantages for being AMAB.

> None of this should matter, not for an engineering job, not for anything.

It does now, though, and it has for the majority of the lives of people under the age of 20-25. Cis women Levine's age HAVE experienced oppression. Erasing that is also bad. Trans rights (and queer rights in general) have progressed quickly enough that this change has happened within one lifetime, so things get a bit weird.

I've seen something similarly in gay spaces, actually, as a cis lesbian. Younger people seem to think that those of us who were old enough to live in an openly homophobic society should just...stop being affected by that. It doesn't work that way.

> The entire cultural war is completely pointless.

I mean, I agree, but I can't talk to other lesbians without trans women being the center of discussion so. Now we get trolling from everybody. It's exhausting.
> No way in hell the European countries would let the UK in after all the smears and scorn directed at them over a decade and especially during the Brexit process. Just one country's people rejecting the UK in the obligatory referendum would scuttle the process. And there are many countries which would just do that.

Minor correction: the countries' peoples don't really have a lot of say in any EU-level policy. They elect their national governments, who do.

If you need an example of this, read up on the 'Spitzenkandidaten' process and how - despite it, and the Parliament - Ursula von der Leyen ended up getting her job.

There is a lot of good stuff that results from the EU. A shining example of direct democracy in action, not so much.
This is the most important worry.

Populism from the far right has adopted a strategy of re-defining key terms such as nation, citizen, fairness, representation.

Under these conditions, a highly diverse council will either not be able to decide or will need to decide in favor of maximum leniency.

By the way, Adam Curtis made this point in his documentary "HyperNormalisation", where he argued that Trump had hijacked "fair and balanced" reporting.
I'm not sure why GP was downvoted. There are many, many examples. You would probably see them if your primary news sources weren't the NYT, the Washington Post, CNN, or MSNBC. Twitter is the poster child for authoritarian leftist social media!

There is still, today, multiple years after the start of the pandemic, no strong evidence that masks did anything significant to slow the spread of COVID. I can provide many citations if you need them.

Didn't know that. Thank you.

Of course, there's the huge complicating factor that the official figures for "covid deaths" conflate "died with" and "died from".
Look around at STH forums. There are a bunch of jasperlake products with 4x or 6x 2.5 Gbe. This is one such seller: www.loksing.com.cn . You can also find them on aliexpress.
>a kid down the street from the house I grew up in moved to Hollywood to get involved in acting and changed his name but not his gender. he asked everyone to refer to him by his new name instead of his old one. how is this functionally different from someone changing their gender and their name at the same time, with regards to the name change? it doesn't matter why someone wants to change their name, they want to change their name, you should respect that.

I mean, are you arguing with yourself? I certainly never said you shouldn't respect peoples preferences.

>every headline and social media post I see that contains the string "Kanye" or "Kanye West", outside of those who couch it in the context of some variation of "Ye, the artist formerly known as Kanye West", proves that, despite all pretenses to the contrary, there is in fact a brazen double standard when it comes to asserting one's own identity in terms of LEGALLY changing their name, and having everyone else respect it, such that trans people are supposed to get special consideration in this regard compared to everyone else, somehow.

And when Elliot Page or Caitlyn Jenner publicly transitioned, the media did the same thing because using their former name provides utility.

You still seem really confused about what the issue is. People aren't being banned on twitter because they slipped up once and deadnamed someone, they are being banned because there is a coordinated campaign by conservatives to deadname trans folks in an attempt to bully and offend them. They are banned because the intent behind the action is to hurt.

>only extremely convoluted contemporary political pseudo-logic could explain how this actually makes perfect sense, how it's okay to call him Kanye West but it's not okay to call him Ellen Page, and how those two things are Actually Completely Different Situations instead of Exactly The Same Thing.

Again, you seem to be arguing with yourself. But you also seem to not understand the difference between accidentally using someones former name and purposefully using it as a tool to try and hurt them.

>the man has openly said as much; does his own position on his own identity not have any value to you?

At this point I'm pretty convinced you aren't actually reading anything, and instead are just responding with canned response.

> is that not the entire idea behind the concept of "deadnaming" to begin with?

No, and you don't seem to be familiar with what deadnaming is. If you follow that google link you can read some information on it so you understand it better.
I hear you, and I appreciate you stepping in to explain. But I think if you read the comments, they were quite respectful considering the level of controversy about this topic. Certainly a more civil treatment than Reddit or Twitter. If we can't debate here, the only outlets become much more toxic communities.
The top of the pi thread has this one:

(16G ram, dual nic, 512G ssd) for $190 right now.

https://www.amazon.com/Processor-Beelink-Computer-Support-Di...

If you lower the ram/ssd you can find them for $120 or so, some also have the dual 2.5G adapters, and as the link up thread shows its possible for ~200 to even get them with 4+ 2.5G links.

Granted a lot of these are "deals" rather than MSRP, but right now the "deals" seem to be the normal state of affairs, although it was mentioned that they have been slightly cheaper in the past couple weeks.
Has the Boring Company really achieved anything that is not a flamethrower (not not a flamethrower?) and a slow EV taxi lane under Las Vegas?
The companies might not care, but the perception of working for them might matter. I wonder if your colleagues would care if nobody knew who they worked for, when it's "do I want to work for this company", not "do I want my neighbors to know that I work for this company".
Please no, he'd be very missed here :)

A fire hazard is a major concern no matter what the card can or can’t do.

Anyway, for home tinkering the 4090 is generally a minor improvement over a 4080 or even vastly cheaper cards. More is better, but not always by very much.

That said, the real value of cloud services is you can sometimes get more done with 2TB of RAM for 4 hours than you can with 32GB of RAM for 4 months. All without the need to have that much computing power anywhere near you.
It wasn't that early. YouTube was, and still is, full of vine compilations. It really blew up for a while just serving 6 second videos at a low/moderate resolution. It could have been TikTok easily.
It likely just means trump and that gay conservative guy who would say things for the shock value. The Bee is satirical site and banning them for anything makes as much sense as banning the onion.

Many actually do, just not in a direct way. Change the word "sugar" to "carbs" or even "starch", and plenty of people will tell you that you need "good carbs" or the like. That's exactly what I and many others were taught in both high school and college level courses on human health. It's bogus because, for all intents and purposes, you can treat carbs and sugar the same. Lactose and fructose being partial exceptions, of course, and not in a good way.

Speaking of fructose, absolutely there are people promoting sugar as part of a "balanced" diet. You know what's in fruit, right?

Sugar actually was for a time touted as energy you either use or excrete, and that's an idea that's been discredited to the extent that most people know that sugar is considered harmful. They believe this because sugar is indefensible, hence the agriculture industrial complex have thrown it under the bus. Yet they insist that fruits, starchy vegetables, and whole grains are part of a "balanced" diet. What is a balanced diet? A diet with all the essential nutrients despite the presence of exogenous carbohydrates and other things that reduce bio-availability?

A "balanced" diet successfully rebrands sugar as an essential nutrient. As long as it's in the form of lactose and galactose in your "healthy" yogurt, fructose in your "healthy" fruit, and glucose hydrolized from the carbs of "healthy" whole grains, few are the wiser. Even better if you can dump refined sugar into these things anyway and call it "dextrose" to confuse people.

Yes, I know I wrap a lot of things in quotes. I do so because I must emphasize how incorrect these ideas are.
Iroh: A New Implementation of IPFS
As someone who sits on some local boards and some committees, some people will never be happy and unfortunately people like that tend to be loud. However, I feel like the vast majority of people not only enjoy, but love the way HN is run & managed.

I would like to say thanks for all the work you guys do, few folks take the time to say thank you.

> How is lack of consensus not the inevitable outcome of a widely diverse committee?

That sounds fine to me if there’s actually a diverse set of view points. Getting censored should require a wide swathe of agreement. Not just a vocal minority.
Companies will want their content next to specific content which they will pick when placing bids based on a reputation value which will be computed by a secret algorithm. Whoever has a better reputation will attract more ads and get more cuts from the money twitter collects.

Like, I want to show my gun ads next to Trump's posts and want to show abortion clinics next to Biden's. Nothing wrong with this. Want to show public works ads next to Bernie's ads.

Then when you want to post wild things, anonymous mode will kick in and those posts will not be posted in an identifying fashion. They will be posted in an area that cannot lead to the post owner being "accurately" identified. That way nobody knows who posted it. That should reduce some legal issues. If the poster decides to post it as the owner and successfully gets past the Nazi filter, their reputation will be affected depending on the public reception of their post.

Just like in real life. You stay away from people who you don't like.
Not OP, but there is an approach here of using a dedicated loop worker to assign post-commit ID sequence. I.e. using the outbox pattern once, simply to assign a post-commit ID.

https://github.com/vippsas/mssql-changefeed/blob/main/MOTIVA...

I wish DBs had this more built in, it seems a critical feature of a DB these days and the commit log already have very similar sequence numbers internally...

It's easy to say that when you define conservative opinions as breaking the rules or harassment. So they get banned for hate and harassment instead of just being conservative or right leaning. Congrats you won on a technicality.

So both sides are right, and yet the conversation between the extremes moved backwards instead of finding common ground.
This is a high amperage connector. It is significantly more prone to catching on fire that the majority of connectors in no name import junk in case of it melting.
Twitter will never turn into 4chan
And where do the people make noise about these types of things? Twitter. If they just stop promoting that content and turning a few keyboard warriors into news items, then companies will be none the wiser, and will happily spend money.

But even in the case they decide to jump ship, other companies will fill the gap. Do you think all the NFL players are going to leave the platform? All the sports journalists? No amount of internet outrage is going to change them, they're too stuck on the platform.
A bunch of accounts like The Babylon Bee and Ye have been unbanned w/o input from any such committee of diverse viewpoints. I don't have much faith that Musk will not act unilaterally in service of his friends and allies.

I’d be surprised if storing the hashes is illegal.
I'd recommend people gloating to read the article.

This is a neat way to parallelize and scale up this swipe but it's still the same swipe:

Please don't comment on whether someone read an article. "Did you even read the article? It mentions that" can be shortened to "The article mentions that."

That's a very different position than the one he stated before, i.e., everything that is not illegal will be allowed.
Did you block him? I still see the tweet. Maybe he got selectively shadowbanned :-)
To add to this, you can directly play stuff in mpv if yt-dlp is installed and in your PATH.

Combine this with a window manager shortcut to open the clipboard contents in mpv and the experience is pretty slick.

You can also dump the URLs in a .m3u file and watch a bunch in a row with mpv that way.
