> But I just don't understand what I would use it for.

Isn’t that clearly stated in the name of the post: It “helps you remember shit you are interested in.”

Personally I run into interesting things all the time, and it seems great to be able to have a place to store them so I don’t forget about them. That’s clear value to me. I’m honestly a bit puzzled how you don’t see value.

For me, I would need an app in order to start using this though. Otherwise it’s just to much of a hassle to add stuff (which means I wouldn’t do it).
Agreed. No idea how it’s possible that this hasn’t even been floated for several years at this point. Every time Twitter announces a paid feature that isn’t this, I am disappointed.
Sometimes it cheers me up to read https://goodnews.eu/en/.
Scott Manley did a good break down of their landing profile. They maintain a ballistic trajectory set to miss the landing pad / barge and it's only on successful re-ignition of the engine that they align with the landing pad.
They've effectively declared war on Taiwan by now. Maybe not diplomatically but their president for life has been saying they'll take it through force, which amounts to the same thing.
Is NetSurf Dead?
Since 2007 NetSurf has had multiple releases per year, until 2017 where it slowed to one release per year. The last release was May 2020.

Anyone close to the project know why the effort slowed down? I know it's a monumental task to make a web browser but even so as it is it has it's uses.

If you could take a top spec model, cut the weight by 400lbs without effecting the crafts capability, you could certainly sell it at a premium yeah, it would be some difference between the current price and the fuel cost savings shedding 400lbs casuses over the lifetime of the aircraft. Cerium estimated $2,600 per lb over the lifetime of the craft so yeah, that's a ~$1,040,000 in value there.
What I mean to convey by "well defined" is that even though the problem space of self driving cars is enormous, the success criteria of teaching a car to self drive is probably going to look pretty similar in 10 years to what it looks like now.

Bots on the other hand changes constantly - what is the definition of an abusive bot? What is the definition of spam? The adversaries on Twitter adapt not only their tactics but also their goals.
"What aperture are you shooting at? You probably already know it, but for landscapes you'd be looking at f/5.6 or so unless you're hurting for light."

this is bad advice.... shoot on a tripod and set your f stop to get the DOF you need or do a focus stack, f/5.6 would work if your shooting a distant landscape but having anything in the foreground f5.6 would not be enough, i usually stay at around F10 any higher i don't like because diffraction starts to reduce image quality and if i need more DOF i just focus stack

for ISO set it to 100 or what ever your cameras base ISO is

then adjust your shutter speed until you get correct exposure
There are also companies that do not really have a price list, they will just think up the price depending on what they think you are willing to pay.
Acquisition Musk is clearly different than Tesla (I have friends that work at both, day to day experience is nothing alike), maybe Twitter gets to what Karpathy describes, but I'm not convinced his big hammer approach to turning it back into a startup instantly is going to work.
Maybe I'm missing something but wouldn't the paid-for check mark also mean that a given account can be more specifically targeted, thus increasing the potential ad revenue to Twitter?
Why do you assume that Ukrainian ISP IP addresses have been transferred to Russian entities during the Crimean occupation?

This seems like a weird assumption unless you know more about the subject than I do.
Need fulfilled. Thanks!
Right. My point is more about misleading presentation. The landing page will try to convince you the company is offering an amazing product that will solve your problems, when the reality is, the product doesn't exist and the company is trying to get you to fund it.
You should look up the word in a dictionary. You might be surprised by its definition.

They should ban unpaid non-compete clauses above 6 months. I wouldn't want them to go further than that. A half-year paid vacation is a pretty good thing for almost all workers.
And the whole story seems to be here (available via the Exit button from any of those pages): https://copy.sh/v86/ and https://github.com/copy/v86
In the US these clauses are almost never enforceable and simply serve as a chilling effect. There is a fundamental issue with non-competes that if they prevent a person's well being they can't be enforced so if a person secures a job that would violate their non-compete the enforcement of their non-compete would cause them to lose their income. This is considered a hardship so enforcement of a non-compete clause requires a clear demonstration that other work would be available which in many cases is hard to do in the modern world since it'll often require there existing a genuine offer of work to the individual - offers are normally private so they can be hard to discover but, additionally, simply demonstrating the availability and presence of job listings is usually insufficient because hiring processes are a lot more complex today then in 1800 when some dude would hand you a shovel and offer you a dime at the end of the day.

I applaud their death - they are fundamentally bad for employees.
I fail to see what's wrong with this. Not trolling, what actual harm is being done here? it should be priced into the risk of acquiring the company right?
I tried to get SuSE to tell me how much Rancher was so I could just buy it. I was completely ready to just lay down my credit card. They refused without a sales call. And in fact, it was impossible for me to even schedule a sales call without joining their Slack channel to tell them their website's Contact Us form was broken. The call got bumped like 3 times over 2 months, they didn't schedule a new one. Now I've found out that Rancher's support sucks and SuSE is botching their communication, so I'm going with a competitor.

SaaS people: Don't make it hard for me to give you money. At the very least, give me a 30 day trial (of Enterprise features) while we go through your stupid sales dance.
I've lived in Texas my entire life (in three different major cities) and never had experiences like this.

Definitely, most people drive when they're actually going to a destination. The cities are designed with this assumption. Recreational walking or jogging is common within neighborhoods, and kids walking to/from school isn't uncommon either (since those are often in or near one's neighborhood), but if you want to walk to the store (in most areas) you'll be crossing vast unshaded stretches of sidewalk, parking lots, major roads where people aren't used to pedestrians, etc. Bike lanes are also rare and mostly confined to urban centers.

But I've never seen or heard of active hostility or suspicion toward someone just because they're walking somewhere (and I love walking, so I do it whenever/wherever it makes sense to)
How does it work? How does it compare to other published work, including piet-gpu? I'm seeing about 5ms for tiger on a Pixel 4, which is probably comparable as the iPad no doubt has a much stronger GPU.

I've tried it with an iPhone 13 and an older camera with significantly worse low light performance than any camera from the past 7 years, and even if I disable the built-in image stacking, the mirrorless camera with an f/1.4 lens is incomparably better. I could properly expose my backyard with nothing but light pollution handheld.

Newer cameras can even film video with nothing but moonlight.
Well, it's the first time I saw the magic incantation listed above so I may give it another try know.

I have several sites and I wanted to deploy a global navigation bar (navbar) across all of them, and add and remove links from that navbar over time, all without having to manually update the links on each site.

This is my solution.

If there is another solution out there, I don't know what it is. Linktree comes close, in a sense, but I don't think they deploy to remote sites (yet).

An example can be seen on on my site sites:

https://nomeetingsfriday.com/

Right now, the functionality is very limited, as I'm hoping to have user needs drive features instead of my own intuition, which has proven to be pretty bad.

Presumably you could deploy the js snippet via a tag manager, like Google Tag Manager, but I haven't tried it yet.
Even if you could book a flight without use of a MAX... good luck staying off of a MAX if your booked flight has mechanical trouble and the airline moves you to a different flight.
This is not how you get people productive. This is how you grind them into burnt out husks of themselves and massively hurt company in the long run.
I find incredible irony in that the companies like Gartner that perform this exact service are all basically "call for bespoke/maximal pricing" as well.
There is computational photography happening on cameras but I think it's mostly opt in features.

Olympus and Panasonic can take 80–100MP shots by shifting the sensor a small amount and stitching multiple shots together. This can even be done handheld on the newer models. I imagine phones will get this eventually (maybe some do already).

Then there's all the subject detection auto focus available on basically every camera nowadays.

People in my circles reflexively hate anything if it comes from Musk, but I'm gonna go ahead and say that this ... actually sounds like an appealing offer.

Throw in better video compression for us artists and might actually buy it.

Fact is, verification has been horribly broken for a long time on Twitter and despite what people WITH the checkmarks say, it really is a big old status symbol. There are a lot of victims of impersonation out there — for years — so the pearl clutching over it all of a sudden feels disingenuous.
Yes and no.

I choose a few sites, and check them periodically. BBC News, Drudge, Mother Jones, and occasionally the routing services like AP, Reuters, and AFP. Usually every other day or so, or when I'm bored, have downtime, etc. Occasionally pick up a copy of the Economist when I'm tired of looking at screens.

But on my terms, when I feel like it. No feed or regular updates, no trying to figure out if it's a clickbate headline.

But what about HN? Well, fair enough, though a lot news gets posted to the "active" URL here at HN and that serves as a "hey check AP" flag, so my approach more-or-less holds.
Nice. Now I'm curious, is there a list somewhere of other projects Google open sourced after abandoning?

> any of the other Democrats at the time

The Democrats were anything but a bloc in the days of LBJ and RFK. The progressive wing was, with LBJ, forcing through the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act, over the objections and filibuster of the Dixiecrats, who were soon to flee the party in droves. Meanwhile, LBJ was terrified that RFK would primary him and win.

It is fundamentally meaningless to try to differentiate someone from "the Democrats" when the party was fundamentally split between warring ideologies.
> normal companies are fortunately still bounded by laws on criminal negligence

...because it's bad for money to break them. Money is still the motivation.
What’s the enforcement for these anyways, when a company insists on enforcement? “Cease working for your new employer or else”?
The frustrating aspect for me about CNSA is how little PR they do, at least towards west although I don't think even inside China they are giving that much extra info on the missions and their progress. Just compare the media spectacle around e.g. Perseverance rover wrt Tianwen-1. Sure NASA has more material to work with but still we are getting frequent mission updates and almost daily new pics to ogle; meanwhile there are just couple of press photos from Zhurong and barely any news gets around.
> A popular open source protocol is actually the perfect playing field for a would-be monopolist.

At first I thought "email seems a good example of this: most people don't want to leave Google, I don't want to leave FastMail"... but then I remembered that I could just leave FastMail and take my email to Google. Which proves the upthread point about the open protocol being a safety net for users.

Can you talk about some examples of monopolised open protocols?
I think this is a great question, but I think answers should rest on a slightly more detailed understanding of how actually copyright works.

IANAL, but to a first-order approximation: everything is "copyrighted" [1]. The copyright is owned by someone/something. The owner gets to set the terms of the licensing. The rare things not under copyright may have been put explicitly into the public domain (which actually takes some effort), or have had their copyright expire (which takes quite a while; thanks Disney).

So: this is really a question about fair use [2], and about when the terms of licensing kick in, and it should be understood and discussed as such. I don't think anyone who has really thought about this is claiming that the models can't be trained on (copyrighted) material; the consumption of the material is not the problem, is it? The problem is that the models: (1) sometimes recreate particular inputs or identifiable parts of them (like the Getty watermark), or recreate some essential characteristics of their inputs (like possibly trademark-able stylistic elements), AND ALSO, (2) have no way of attributing the output to the input.

Without being able to identify anything specific about the input, it is impossible know with certainty that the output falls within fair use (e.g. because it was sufficiently transformative), and it is impossible to know how to implement the terms of licensing for things that don't fall within fair use. There's just no getting around that with the current crop of models.

The legal minefield is not from (1) or (2), but from (1)+(2), at the moment of redistribution, monetized or not. Even if Copilot was only trained on non-reciprocal licenses (BSD, MIT), there are very likely still licensing terms of use, which may include identifying the original copyright owner. Reciprocal licenses like GPL have more involved licensing terms, but that is not the problem: the problem is failure to identify the original licensing terms. We should not use these models as an opportunity to make an issue about GPL or its authors, or about the business model of companies like Getty; both rest on copyright, and come to our attention because of licensing.

Sorry about the rant. As for your question: I think it may be as simple as: to what extent are readers here the producers of inputs to the ML models, versus consumers of outputs. It gets personal for coders when models violate licensing terms of FOSS code, but it feels fun/empowering to wield the models to make images that we'd otherwise be unable to access. From my rant above you can tell that whether its for code or images, I think the whole thing is an IP disaster.

AMD Earnings Report Q3 2022
> If I worked for Atlassian and then created a company that did consulting for how to install Jira and and organize workflows - there's no IP theft involved there.

That also seems like a very silly thing to prohibit in the first place, since Atlassian's getting paid either way in that case.
I tried it, the tools work great and amazingly fast!
Congrats on your progress
I am very aware of that.

I think you’re not familiar with a King as a person or an author based on your comment.

Finally, you thinking Musk was mocking is also wrong. He was using Kings viral tweet as a jump off point for the tweet this HN post is based off of.
I am not saying you can't. I totally believe you do.

Modern hardware is totally able to execute hundreds of thousands of transactions per second on a single core. If your query is simple and you can organise getting the data from storage at the necessary speeds you should totally be able to do this many requests, possibly even tens of millions.

But handling one million queries per second is completely different from having database server making progress on one million queries in parallel. What happens is, the database server is only making progress on a small number of them (typically in tens up to hundreds on a very beefy hardware) and everything else is just queued up.

There are much, much better ways to queue up millions of things than opening a million connections to get each one done individually.

Résumé/CV: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aDR0Gd2FcCUbDWza4b4eIGvCxm4...

Email: marcin.seredynski@gmail.com

With my two decades of professional software development experience, and over five years in leadership roles, I am looking for new opportunities.

I have a broad spectrum of technical experience ranging from creating website backends, implementing desktop applications, implementing video games, to back-office enterprise software for television, giving me a wealth of experience in software development across multiple domains.

I have been using .NET technologies since their first public release in 2002 and feel very comfortable navigating their ecosystem.

I am very experienced working in a remote-first setup, having worked this way since 2007 with just a few exceptions. I have experience working with multiple teams and stakeholders spanning the globe: Australia, United Kingdom and United States.

I am open to following roles: Development Manager, Software Architect, Team Leader, Senior Engineer.
Except the lowest unemployment numbers in USA. That might be an issue.

it's just annoying to the extreme

I once had to find software options for a company I worked for. I had a deadline to meet for that, plus my regular duties.

That meant that any company that had "Call for pricing" didn't make the cut. I don't have time for that.

We ended up spending $120,000 on the solution I chose. I don't know if we could have gotten a better deal from another vendor, because they wanted to play games. I don't have time for games.

The company that was honest and up-front about the pricing got the contract, which I know has renewed several times since then.
WineFetch | Backend/Fullstack PHP/JS Engineer | Full time | Remote, US

WineFetch is part of Jonas Software, which is part of Constellation Software.
We build e-commerce websites and mobile apps for wine & spirits retailers.

Role: Software engineer (100-115K)

The challenge: Our infrastructure and codebase was developed over a decade and a half by a single developer, who, having left the company, left us with some significant technical debt. Currently, we have two full time engineers and are aiming to bring on a third to help us on several fronts: research and resolution of customer support issues, incremental improvement & debugging of existing legacy systems, as well as new feature development and larger efforts to modernize the software and architecture.

The promise: There's potential to make a big impact with your work --on the business, on your coworkers, and on the customers. As a team, we have an opportunity to create the kind of environment that we want to work in, both in terms of technology and how we work together.

For a more detailed description of what we'd like in a candidate, see:

100% - have been involved in a few of those and it's very expensive to deal with: even an unsubstantiated/dubious claim both in time and lawyers.
Right—I perhaps should have been clearer about this in my own post. It's definitely a spectrum, not a binary, though I'm not at all sure the distribution is normal (ie, a bell curve). I don't have any actual sources on that, though, and I'd be very intrigued to see a scientific study giving a population-level distribution of those traits in particular.
Because it's huge in clickbait. I've put it back in the title above.
