I've noticed the opposite in a Java codebase I work in. Tests where the test is assertEquals(toJson(someObject), giantJsonBlobFromADifferentFile). Of course the test runner has no idea about formatting strings that happen to be json, so I end up having to copy these out into an editor, formatting them and eyeballing the difference, or for even larger ones having to save them out to files and diff them. And of course most of the fields in the mock aren't relevant to the class under test, so I'd trade them out for 5-6 targeted asserts for the relevant fields happily.

The problem is, since it's a legacy codebase, there's many fields which are only tested incidentally by this behaviour, by tests that actually aren't intending to test that functionality.

There will be consequences both ways. It is well possible that new Twitter will attract other people if its politics changes.

Not everyone in America, much less outside it, wants to pretend that they share the values of Californian Democrats from the progressive tribe, which according to this study [0] makes up whopping 8 per cent of the American population.

> the idea of ML is that the model doesn’t memorize specific answers, it learns internal rules and higher-level representations

that's the idea, yeah, and it would've been great if that's how copilot worked all the time

as for the whataboutism, if developers copied copyrighted code, the rights holder has the right to go after them, too, if they so choose

the rights holder could also choose to go after only big companies that violate licenses egregiously, if they so choose

1. The most impactful thing you can do is vote for politicians who believe in climate change and support mitigation efforts.

2. Have less kids or no kids.

3. Use public transportation whenever possible. If not possible, electric vehicle over a combustion vehicle.

4. Eat less meat or no meat.

5. Avoid unnecessary air travel.

6. Consider rooftop solar if your home is amiable to it, your grid tilts fossily (coal, fossil gas), and you’ve got robust incentives to install.

Skip the offsets.

GF doesn't have the scale-at least not in the smaller nodes
I'm skeptical that using a wikipedia-like approach will work for small, essentially ephemeral content. There's just not enough time to debate each tweet, especially now that so many people (with large followings) tweet so much debatable content frequently. There's probably also not enough interest... or the interest and fascination with moderating will wane quickly (fatique).

Reading the various recent news items about Twitter, one would think that Musk was trying to revert the company to a crowdsource startup. I don't think that's possible, at least not without shedding a great many of the users. Of course, I also think the entire system and premise behind Twitter is bunk, so it doesn't really matter.
> it was sold as an 'all you can eat' service

This is the bigger issue here. It's not about the limit, its about the bait and switch. And no, I don't accept arguments that people should know better, because if the customer is supposedly smart enough to know that limits were inevitable, then so did starlink, which means this was a deliberate tactic (I'd call it a grift tactic at that). The responsible approach would have been to start everyone on a fairly tight limit and then either expand it if the network could handle it, keep them if it couldn't, or just charge more for more bandwidth. That way customers could make a sound evaluation of value/cost.
Philosophers may consider this a "performative utterance".
Maybe most people object to that, but personally I like to have daylight hours first thing in the morning to pop out for a run to start the day. There’s a weird bit in October where you lose the ability to do that because of BST.

I was genuinely curious as to when the Uk last didn’t have BST. I believe the the answer might be a very long time ago, in conflict with the original assertion I was replying to.

If people pick through my responses here it’s very strange that I’m being downvoted. I suspect maybe a few people have forgotten to follow the HN rule of trying to read charitably.

Studies suggest that genes play a significant role, and obviously there's an environmental component (ie your upbringing, for which your parents are very important but many other factors play a role, too). Hence you generally take on the ideology around you, even if that may slowly shift between generations (but it seems that people also simply have a different mindset at 20 vs at 40, so when you ask them at 20, they're very different from their parents, but that often changes when they are in similar circumstances as their parents).

Of course, some people do change their ideology later in life (which I don't think is the right term, because they don't actively change it, it's more that they change and their ideology is part of them), but that's not common, and overall it's remarkably stable.

> If you care about building out widespread truly decentralized cryptography, the practical results of cryptocurrency are nothing short of incredible. Because of crypto, millions of people now self custody their own private encryption keys without any dependency on centralized services.

You mean the exchanges the vast majority of cryptocurrency users rely on have control, right?

I mention that because a greater number of people already have cryptographic keys to use to assert their identity (every iOS user, most Android, and Windows Hello users) in the form of WebAuthn passkeys. Unlike Ethereum, that system does not cost money to use, is free for anyone to implement, and does not depend on a slow centralized data store being available.

One important note: ENS doesn’t in any way solve the question of identity, any more than DNS does. In both cases, they link a name to a machine id without solving the much harder problems of verifying identity or disambiguating people with the same name.

Most importantly, not conflating money with identity makes attacks harder (if I get your keys, I can compromise your brokerage account but I still have to convince them to transfer your assets) and lowers the costs of errors because I’m not pushed into having to decide whether I’m more concerned about losing access to my money if I don’t make a backup and having my money stolen because I did. That’s going to matter to their next of kin if our hypothetical dentist is run over by some SUV driver on their next bike ride.

That last part gets to back to the question of goals. Self-hosting cryptographic keys isn’t a goal anyone has for non-ideological reasons. People care about things like communicating privately and not being impersonated, and will gravitate to the systems which make that safe and easy. Cryptocurrency projects haven’t delivered on either of those so far and since they inevitably depend on real-world systems to handle identity or resolve disputes, it’s hard to offer a compelling reason to pay the extra cost to use them.

Going back to my hypothetical person at a non-crypto business, he goes to his boss and says “we should have our customers login using self-managed private keys”. When she says “how does that make us more money?”, what’s the answer?
The paper cups were waxed. They can’t be recycled. At least the plastic is recyclable.
Again pytest makes things so much nicer in this regard. Having to comment things out sucks.

With pytest you can use the -x flag to stop after the first test failure.

Even better you can use that in combination with -lf to only run the last failed test.
Yeah, I'd really like an option for permanent E2EE on all platforms but I trust Telegram with my data.

As long as they're not selling it to advertisers and their apps remain FOSS, I'm fine with sharing my data.

I also really like Telegram's privacy policy (https://privacyspy.org), which is why I'm okay with cloud side encryption instead of E2E.

Every E2EE app that I've tried in the past, has been a UX nightmare and cloud sync is something that's extremely essential to my workflow so Telegram has been a pretty amazing free service.
India seems to genuinely embrace Democracy though, which tends to stick in Western minds much more than the complications of Realpolitik.
I think covid really showed that self produced counter parts to conference videos are usually not as good as the conference videos. I generally did not enjoy recordings from online conferences as much as recording from their in-person counter parts.

I agree that a tripod that captures the projection on screen and presenter is often quite poor (Apple does it quite well) but pycon videos are often excellent, with the speaker in picture-in-picture square in the corner and the bulk being of the screen being recorded straight out of the computers hdmi port.

As for audience question: even if you are there, you usually can't hear the question. Speakers should be instructed to repeat the question before answering.
Holy smokes, so many orphaned comments!

Reddit is the absolute worst for preserving history. If you ever google something and open a few years old thread its just one deleted user/comment replying to another, totally useless.

The Russians are a tough counter example because they are operating really poorly and seem unable to coordinate or train operators well.

Their use of tanks is a great example. Russian losses are huge, mostly because they aren’t coordinating with infantry and artillery fires.
I haven’t looked closely at your product but there was a similar one that launched a few months ago on HN and it was almost a joke the way they launched it.

Almost every single one of their techniques and incentives is were bound to fail exactly if someone had ADHD.

Like they had a 14 day trial where you had to remember to keep launching the app every day and things like that.

Guess what, someone with ADD would forget to launch the app, and definitely blow through a silly 14 day trial before they could even realize any value. It showed me exactly how clueless they were about their audience.

I mean their drivers say that my motherboard doesn't support resizable bar when I clearly have it enabled in the bios Windows reports it as enabled gpu-z reports it as enabled... But I don't see this as a malicious

They locked resizable bar support to Intel CPUs, they even confirmed that early on.
This was a very interesting read and I think in very good analysis of the concept.

But I can’t shake the feeling that the points are all pretty mundane: computers exist in a human world bound by human conventions. After all, computers are made by and for humans to serve human needs, and they are subservient to the rules of human society, whether or not those rules can be digitally encoded in an absolute sense.

Like much of law, intent matters and intent can’t be read from a series of bytes, but is instead often determined by a human, outside the digital realm. If our laws didn’t consider intent it would be less of an issue.

I find none of that surprising. Though perhaps that means it wasn’t written for me.
that seems like a machiavellian way of avoiding The People deciding the issue for themselves via their government representatives, and it'd just make things harder when the court takes the practice away anyways
The sun “should” be wherever makes the most sense taking into account the cultural, geographical, and social factors that affect time zones and their selection. There is no objective correct standard.
I think it's safe to conflate the two in this context. Someone going through the UC system is bound to experience very strong peer pressure to hide or change any conservative views may have held. As personal example, I had participated in research group meetings (at a much less left-leaning institution) that included quite vulgar Trump bashing sessions. It goes beyond universities and among the main reasons why Republican candidates usually underperform in polls [1].

> That democratic ideas are more popular for educated people or that rural areas lead to more republican attitudes shouldn't lead to the idea that we need policy to balance either. Rather a plurality of parties and votes would be something to strive for.

Fair enough if not for the fact that university education is the gateway (as the OP article mentions) to positions of economic and political power. If very few people with conservative views pass through the social filter, the conservative part of the population becomes disenfranchised, which is bad for democracy.

I would imagine that's a fairly lossy process with some downsides?

Ideally - the end result of an SDF pipeline is pixels. Going back to polygons throws away much of the advantage of SDFs. Raymarching is costly and rarely used in realtime engines but Blender isn't realtime so rendering SDFs directly would probably be viable.
Yeah, most stuff that is marked as compostable should be treated with suspicion. I only compost organic food waste, no wrappers or containers, no matter how they are marked. We have decent recycling where I live, so all cardboard, paper, metal, and plastic just goes in the bin.

TBH the biggest benefit from composting food waste (vs throwing away) is that my garbage bin doesn't smell.
I've seen this pattern often with teams that are out of their normal wheelhouse (i.e. Python shop doing Go or JS shop doing Java) and think they cannot extend a bad test library. The other place you see this a lot is where developer hours are being billed. I can sympathize with devs who are shallow on a test library, but the billing hours one is a dark pattern for optimizing cost plus billing.

Is there option for preapproving/hiding comments from new users in a subreddit? I'm thinking of a certain regional politics sub where on the main page, you'll see XX number of replies, open the thread and it be completely empty for a couple hours.
I agree, but sometimes HN folks misinterpret pedantry for subtle but necessary distictions that can make or break an argument.

In real life, people tend not to tolerate either.

Never, because the subject matter in the sub I moderated was very local (a city sub). It never felt we were enforcing reddit's rules but our own, and so we never felt like we worked for Reddit but for our community. And that's really where they get ya, cause aside from /r/reddit.com, everything has this "this is your space" feeling. That's becoming less and less true with all the shit they're pushing to monetize users/content though
Yet another stupid attempt to push this flawed proposal. There are so many things wrong with the idea it's almost ludicrous. For one thing, who gets the right to determine how this goes planetwide?

For example, who will guarantee that releasing sulphuric acid into the sky won't trash the monsoon and kill billions of people? The number of unintended consequences we could suffer as a result of this moronic idea boggles the mind.

I agree with this. Reddit and Discord both use markdown and I've been using it for ages without ever knowing it's called Markdown.

I just thought it's a neat trick you can apply italics by underscore and make text stand out with back ticks around.

Even least technical people using bold/italics/indent on WhatsApp are using markdown in a way.
That's stupidly absurd on Apple's side. Let's hope they don't do the same with the USB-C iPhones then.
Yes they do? You can install system wide Tor on android. If you are referring to the fact that phones emit signals that can be triangulated, that doesn't interfere with anonymity in and of itself.
Perhaps those also absent from the study are those with ADHD, but whose family accepted and nurtured it instead of projecting onto them and never listening. Those people don't usually need to mask and don't end up mentally underdeveloped because the people entrusted with their care actually cared about them, rather than trying to "mold" them into something they're not.

Seriously, why does ADHD and other neurodivergent "treatment" always fail to listen to the afflicted? It's ableist and othering, and it's fucking disgusting.
Nah, it was some corporate project. But if you are interested, I could rewrite it. It would be a fun weekend project.
It would be better if this would be a bookmarklet and not a plugin.

A plugin can read everything on every website you use. Your bank statements, your emails, which videos you watch on youtube, to whom you talk on Twitter and what you write with them, what you search on Google ... everything.

A bookmarklet can only read what is on the page on which you invoke it.

From what I know about the brain, it is more of a prediction machine than anything else, based on prior input. It seems reasonable for the majority to be unconcerned with what cannot be reasonably predicted, and as the article states, for artists to imagine possible futures on our behalf.
I think an appealing thing about English is the ridiculous vocabulary. When it doesn’t have a word, it just steals one from another language. We have a French-based word that’s a “fancy” way to say an English-based synonym from the court vs common language situation with the Normans. Then borrowed liberally from Greek and Latin during the enlightenment, and every other language when colonialism kicked in (including a lot of botched Spanish). That constant borrowing is partly why our spelling is insane.

Oh and add to the insanity that we’ll borrow the same French word twice, frozen in each time.

It’s fascinating to see the language evolve through eg India. It’s a secondary language that fills a gap to provide a commonly understood language in a region with massive linguistic diversity. But then it’s developed it’s own regionalisms that are bleeding back into regions where it is the primary language.

It’s kind of like shell scripting to me. It started simple, got random useful things tacked on over time. You can’t formally define it, but it’s pragmatically powerful. And there aren’t real rules despite people trying so hard over the years, just conventions that shift and change. And often the “rule makers” just make things more complicated in the end with only some of it sticking.

I highly recommend the English History Podcast for anyone interested.
Tried this years ago, turned the card into a fairy wand. It kind of worked. A small problem is the fact that TFL are not that keen on people doing this kind of stuff with their cards.
Or just plastic, metal and glass bottles/cans deposit like in Lithuania.

You pay 10 euro cents extra when buying, and get it back after depositing the bottles/cans at local taromat.

Right, but it's all personal anecdote. Not commentary on studies or research. If the guidelines for the subreddit are to keep things more focused on research it would make sense to me for mods to remove the massive amount of anecdote that comes out of the woodwork.

Sure people can be interested in using psychedelics themselves, but they want the discussion to focus on research
