I’ll echo the sibling comment and say it’s up to whoever is building the new service. I haven’t been involved with that so I can’t really speak to it.
I think the issue with dating apps is that it creates the too many choice problem. Relationships, especially starting out, are hard because you have to get over speed bumps. Things that in the rear view mirror look petty and you forget, but in the moment are much more serious.

There's also a huge difference in how the genders experience the apps, despite a lot of us pretending it is the same. I heard someone say "men are dying of thirst in a desert. Women are dying of thirst in the ocean. Men look at the women and say 'at least they have water.'" Most women get far more matches (the ocean water) but often they are low quality (salinity), whereas most men have a lack of matches all together. If you're just looking to get laid, then there is definitely a power imbalance (an amplified version of what exists offline) and women "have it easier". But that's not what most people want. They do want deep meaningful connections, and in that respect there's no difference between trying to drink sand and trying to drink sea water. But because we're dying of different things it creates fundamentally different strategies. (one e.g. men being nonselective with swipes but selective with matches vs women being highly selective with swipes[0]) We have fundamentally different experiences on the apps. I don't know a single man who's admitted to sending a dick pic, but every woman I know has received one. It's too easy to paint with a broad brush with the paint of our experiences, especially the bad ones.

But I think a major issue of why these apps don't work is that we're so wrapped up in our experiences that we don't recognize those of others (classic human problem: "Everyone thinks like me and shares the same experiences."). It causes us to paint with too wide of a brush when seeking something that is by definition intimate and personal. I think the problem with apps is that it is hard to see the other person as a person. While I don't know if I'd ever do one of these profiles, but the goal seems straight forward: to be seen as a human and an individual. You're not just another box of cereal on the grocery store shelf, but an individual human being. I don't think this is backwards and I think it makes sense why people see this as an alternative. They've felt dehumanized by those apps (men and women in different ways) and want to be seen as a living person.

edit: [0], another example is men wanting to meet in person quickly to make the match real vs women often wanting to me more cautious. There are different selective pressures for these things and different societal norms. But it is silly to not attempt to understand the experiences of someone we want to intimately bond with.
The problem is, that it's not only open source but also private repositories on GitHub which aren't open source and might never be.
A group of developers did this ten years ago, unfortunately they're stil waiting for the jira admins to grant them the right permissions to install the plugins they wrote.
Actually match corp owns idk at the moment but something like 90% of dating apps and sites. 100% of the popular ones so they are a monopoly.

There has been some decent research highly suggesting match optimizes for failure of its customers. It makes sense since in their biz a happy customer us no longer a customer.
Replicating popular content is good if there's a smallish core set of popular content. Then you'd be able to serve popular content on the NIC it comes in on without cross NUMA traffic. Really depends on traffic distribution though, if you need to replicate a lot of content, then maybe you push too much content out of cache.

It'd be neat if you could teach the page cache to do replication for you... Then you might use SF_NOCACHE for not very popular content, no option medium content, and SF_NUMACACHE (or whatever) for content you wanted cached on the local NUMA node. I'm sure there's lots of dragons in there though ;)
CPython also switches out what internal implementation it uses to represent your dicts based on a few heuristics.
>If anything like that happens, the US and other countries that made a complete wreck of our response are going to be fucked.

A 50% or 100% mortality rate would keep even the most pro-liberty people home. The issue is that COVID was nowhere near the civilization killer that is was made out to be. Some countries/states recognized this and rightly decided to not lock society down.
1. Narrow your focus. Pick three to five important tasks each day. Get them done! The productivity high will either power you through more, but less important, items or give you the license to hit happy hour early.

2. Like mass-energy equivalence in physics, time and money are equivalent in life. Optimize accordingly. Example: CS students doing their laundry may be optimal to save money, but software engineers sitting at laundromats is likely a waste of time. Same with cooking vs takeout, cleaning vs Handy, owning vs renting, etc.

3. Stay on top of your finances by centralizing them.

a. Get rid of all but a handful of credit cards. Increase the credit limit on those that remain.

b. Keep only one 401k max at any given time (your current employer’s). The rest should be rolled over into an IRA.

c. Same with banking and investment accounts.

d. After consolidating accounts to the bare minimum, use an aggregator service like Personal Capital. If you’re paranoid, make a spreadsheet and update it at regular intervals.

4. Get rich slow: spend less than you earn; invest the rest.

That is indeed weird but could even more easily happen in downtown Portland as in the middle of the woods. I definitely think you need to maintain situational awareness and carry protection, but that is true of any kind of travel.
No, their content is shit and everything I've touched has 90's era VHS to digital transcriptions or half-assed attempts at interactive stuff which isn't integrated into the core. They're also limited to textbook format even when you have the ebook/online version, and the latter comes with absolutely atrocious UIs.

I can get college lectures at various levels for free, I can get a variety of interactive programs for free (or make them myself). Not to mention for a lot of the classes I've had, the textbook was not necessary at all - but I was dumb enough to buy a couple before I got wise.

They have a market cornered and it's bullshit and their service is repugnant, they need the air taken out of them.
> The totality of the circumstances around the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 ought to give authorities probable cause to obtain additional information. While a laboratory accident is not malicious, accidents that result in the loss of human life may still be considered manslaughter. Manslaughter is a crime. There is probable cause to suspect a crime may have occurred in a laboratory accident leading to the emergence of SARS-CoV-2, an accident that proceeded to kill 1 million Americans and over 18 million people worldwide in the COVID-19 pandemic. Additional injury exists in the persistent symptoms of “Long COVID” and the political, economic, educational, and other harms resulting from the pandemic.

This exemplifies the problem I've had with this whole thing. Followed by the deification of science, which is really the antithesis of science anyway.

There is an abundance of circumstances that point directly at a lab leak. During COVID the detractors of the zoonotic theory were canceled quickly and shamed publicly. Fast forward to today and we now have many researchers making the claim again. Yet, this time there is much less noise from the detractors. Recently, a new strain was synthesized here in the states which provides further evidence the technology is there and it can be done. An accident seems to be the most probable cause. Shit happens, the problem is this was a big, stinky one.

It is, at the very least, worth investigating. A lab leak is huge when it happens. A lab leak that leads to a global pandemic is possibly the worst case. We should close the lab if this the case and be very suspect of any "gain of function" research going forward. This article was well written I think.

However, my opinion is that this inquiry will never happen because of the consequences. If we were to prove, for example, that the Wuhan lab accidentally leaked the virus it would cause global economic chaos. In this case, perhaps it better people don't know. From a geopolitical standpoint that knowledge could very realistically start a war.
Ravens are strictly smarter.

Bengt Heinrich, writing in "Mind of the Raven", found their limit by tying bits of meat to strings hanging where they could reach the string. Some, not all, would grab the string with their beak and tuck it under one foot, and keep drawing it up until they got the meat. But none ever figured it out if the string was hung over a branch so they had to pull down to bring the prize up.
Wouldn't a pipeline be ideal for a wire or fiber just by attaching it along it?
In-Depth: ClickHouse vs. PostgreSQL
Both are instances of trying to get the best deal, just as employees do when negotiating salary, so there isn’t anything hypocritical there.
Why exactly isn’t the Mac Mini competing with this? No one cares that Microsoft is “limited to what Qualcomm can ship” anymore than anyone cared that Apple was limited to what IBM/Motorola could ship back in the PPC era.

The fact remains that the fastest way to run Windows ARM is on an Mx Mac in a VM.
I have not seen it either.

Nobody worshipped him anyway.
Musk is openly against some major progressive liberal and left viewpoints. And he is an awkward impulsive super billionaire. So naturally there is a sour crowd here.
I think they mean valid as in ~useful or ~worthwhile or ~good, because otherwise, as far as I understand it, that would depend on the arguments. And if so, that’s up to the person.

Would this be a useful physical example?: evaluating a car by the material of its nuts and bolts is not a full evaluation. You have evaluated a car by the material of its nuts and bolts. Therefore you have not fully evaluated the car.

That seems valid doesn’t it?

Otoh, only considering the “cool factor” of a car is not a full evaluation of the car…

On another hand: given my priorities and information, I find it’s generally unimportant/more important/somewhat-important to consider/ignore the “cool factor” of a car in favour of focussing on the nuts and bolts.

Last one isn’t valid I don’t think and it’s not trying to be, since it’s an inference of best estimate for the purpose of decision support. Right?
I could see that happening (whether on purpose or even inadvertently) but haven't seen any such literature myself. Do you have some references (asking earnestly)?
That’s Luddite, anti progressive thinking.
Most code structure outliners can sort the outline alphabetically, e.g. all the Jetbrains IDE. Why would you want to sacrifice logical grouping over alphabetical one?
That assumes the "best and most employable people" are confident in their own status as such.
Can someone explain to me how is it possible that a person takes out a loan, but then a company that the person owns is responsible for the loan?
> Those people would be happier in a job where they can make a difference, and society would be better off too

Serious question: how many jobs can really make a difference? How well do they pay and with what risk factors? Compare that to a steady paycheck where your way of making a difference it to try to make political and other internet discourse slightly nicer or at least less troll friendly.
It helps the trees though.
No, that was not the grand goal by any stretch of the imagination.

"Copyleft" protections depend on copyright protections. The reason the GNU GPL can be viral is because the license is preserved from one instance of the code to the next. If credit is not being given, then how can the GPL survive and perpetuate its virality?

RMS wanted software to "be free, like air". Free software is not gained by putting it into proprietary code without licensing it. Free software is not served by filing off the serial numbers and scattering it to the four winds. The writers of free software should be given credit and they also deserve to earn a living from writing it, if they so desire. CoPilot threatens to rob them of that livelihood by side-stepping IP protections.
oh no, true. I said all that - on top of what he said.

And I didn't imply Barry said this either, it's all just what I characterize has happened 8 years hence.

But I contend, after having corresponded with systemd apologists, that it truly is mindcontrold at work.

What is the term for books then?
I kind of see where the OP is coming from. HNews has been dominated with posts to do with DALL-E and Stable Diffusion and expressing joy at the ease it has made generating concept art, logos, etc. The small volume of artists expressing their displeasure? Glossed over.

Now that AI is showing face at the first step of removing programmers and allowing business-speaking people to generate code suddenly there's websites and links all over the HNews front page trying to shut down Co Pilot.
> Yes, isn't that all proof that he's clearly not just a mere average joe?

I'm not sure anyone ever considered him the average joe. He was born into privilege for a start.

I also spent 2 years living on a motorbike went 15k km all over Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos... some of the most remote places... never once had an issue with anyone.

That said, in this case, I wasn't sleep out in the middle of a forest but I do have friends who do it more camping style and they haven't had issues.

I guess it is all just luck of the draw (or some say, karma).
As an example of how far the terminology has come, consider the purported line “Let me taste your wares”[0] from the nursery rhyme "Simple Simon", which possibly dates back to the 17th century.[1]

Unfortunately it does not have magic link fallback when passkeys are not available.
When I saw layoffs at a small company (i.e., you could know all the engineers in the company) you could have probably guessed who they would have been by how well they seemed to perform. When I saw it in a big company, not much rhyme or reason tbh.
Clojure doesn't need JVM. You can run it with GraalVM either directly [1] or via Babashka [2]. Both are great options for get into Clojure.

Stewardship of global collective behavior (2021)
You are describing a static, failing company’s CEO. If you never overextend, you were too conservative and weren’t making the best decisions.
We have particular skills we like to think are most important. We entirely lack other skills, to the point we don't even know about them. Whales, elephants, and octopus probably find us singularly unimpressive at mental achievements they do easily.
I’m fully convinced long form writing is the way to go and working on an app/site based on this premise: https://textually.app/
Sounds like it’s geared a lot towards businesses. I only use slack that way and slack I use in businesses contexts.

And where are the most affluent users? Do you think Google would be paying Apple 18B+ a year to be the default search engine if the 18% of mobile users weren’t valuable?
I don't think thats true. Obvious example would be offline desktop apps like photoshop, any single player game, etc.

Less obvious but just as relevant would be Snowflake, Clickup, etc letting me just deploy and host their software in our data center instead of relying on their cloud.
> What do they have to do with ebooks??

I think legally they can investigate whatever (alleged) crimes they want – subject to the outcome of any turf wars with other government agencies. Their official purpose may be to investigate one particular category of crimes, but it is unlikely any court is going to throw out a prosecution because the "wrong" agency gathered the evidence. Government agencies are frequently trying to expand their empires, move into new areas, prove their continuing relevance when faced with technological changes that undermine their original reason for existence.

At the extreme, you end up with agencies whose names are purely historical and have nothing to do with their current functions. A good example of that is the Railroad Commission of Texas, which no longer has anything to do with railroads–now it is the Texas state regulator for the oil and gas industry (and also surface mining for coal and uranium). I don't know why they don't just change their name to "Texas Oil and Gas Commission" or something like that. One reason, of course, is that they don't actually control their own name, the Texas State Legislature does, and it seems it likes their name just the way it is.
Do you take colchicine?
so why dont we have AI for mating?
Yet, many literate people throughout history have insisted exactly what you say none believe, and wrote it down where it would be re-transcribed through centuries.
Me too. My parents owned a small jewelry store, my dad was a jeweler. They used to buy little silver charms from a wholesaler at "the mart" downtown and then re sell them, as one did. One day a guy in a suit with a briefcase walked in, looked at their stuff, and handed them a lawsuit about 3 deer silver pendants that they bought from the wholesaler. The details are fuzzy in their memory but they ended up out $800, the pendants and my families like for Disney shattered. I can understand Mickey mouse or daffy duck but a deer? They weren't pleasant about it to them either. The kind of company that actively decides to put effort toward that kind of thing and doesn't have discretion in their interactions with people has lost its way.
In other words: jaded, snarky, city hipster. Not about fairness or journalistic integrity like Walter Cronkite, but with a particular agenda. That's not investigative journalism but merely lazy, superficial gossip with a patina of formality and credibility-washed with their brand.

So much for "the paper of record".
The hacker ethos is not limited to computers. The medium doesn't matter. It can be programming or gardening or art or body modification or whatever. The important part of 3 the experimental, curious, often "hacked together" nature of the projects combined with a sort of joy in discovery. Stallman has, for instance, called out particular poets and musicians as hackers.
Perhaps, though that is almost exactly the "burial" practice of one of the oldest surviving organized religions in the world, Zoroastrianism (though usually it's vultures instead of crows in that area):

Yeah, the upgrades were why it ended up in my possession in the first place. The "upgraded" software required capabilities that the device did not have, making it super slow.

The point though, was that koreader works there too.
All well and good, but the debate really needs to shift to how we manage gain-of-function research in future and what additional monitoring or protection needs to be in place in ALL laboratories dealing with high-risk viruses and pathogens.

It would not have been the first lab leak and wont be the last.
Also:

1(b) I want to read what person A writes about #hashtag

1(c) I never want to see person A's posts about #hashtag

The latter can be bluntly accomplished by hiding everything about #hashtag, but sometimes you don't want to do that (you still want to see stuff on the topic, just not written by that person).
I think the willingness to meet in person has more to do with logistical issues of physical security rather than some underlying difference in desires to defer / accelerate IRL meet-ups. I think if you were able to assure both people that the other person wasn't going to go crazy on them, we'd see similar willingness to meet in-person.

I do agree with you that when in the app, there is an inherent lack of desire to really understand the other person. In my experience, however, that goes away when we are able to meet face-to-face and share our true selves more authentically. So, this desire is reasonable, I just think that trying to use technology again to try to solve it (google doc instead of hinge) really isn't very different, and we need to change modalities to actually get anywhere on this issue.
I've also found some relief with breathing techniques for Crohn's flare ups. Other than that, I can only take acetaminophen (which does next to nothing) and not eat for a couple days while I wait it out.
I must say they gained instant credibility with the minimalistic website given how fast it loaded.

Code looks simple and easy to follow, and I love how the comments are constantly mentioning hardware characteristics, making maxing the hardware the goal. It seems that it’s trying to achieve this by jitting optimal code for the operations at hand rather than hand-optimizing kernels, and betting that the small number of operations will make tuning the codegen tractable.

I haven’t kept up much with what’s happening in ML, but at least in the realm of columnar database engines, interpreting a series of hand-optimized kernels seems to be the dominant approach over compiling a vectorized query plan. Are compilers good enough at optimizing ML operations that specializing on input shape makes a difference over hand-tuned kernels?
Failing to learn the lessons of Betamax continue to haunt decisionmakers, essentially.

The takeaway should likely be: Twitter will be fine if people can still post their porn there.
Personally, I use libgen to check if I actually want a given book, and if I do, I buy it (a physical copy, if possible). So, for me, it's a kind of a virtual bookshop.
Some will have to.

In the big picture, FAANG salaries are outliers. Boom and bust cycles come and go, and when it is booming again - circumstances can have changed.

I worked with people in oil and gas that never came back, probably making only 25%-50% of what did they did during their best years.

Finance, too. Lots of young bankers were forced out back in 08-09, and never returned.

(With that said, tech is a bit more flexible on hiring, and I don’t think a 350k engineer will have to take a 300k pay cut, finding a “normal” ~100k engineering job is very possible. Or even another FAANG job if you’re willing to keep going at it. Could take weeks, months, even years - depending on how bad the market is)
Wow, this is exactly what I'm looking for. How often do emails you send go to other people's spam? Do you know people with an outlook email?
I really don’t understand this comments madness for Twitter.
There are dozens of threads in HN regarding recent layoffs, but here we have the explosive mixture of Twitter and Elon Musk.
I understand you don’t like the guy, and that’s completely fine, but many arguments here are totally unreasonable.
Hundreds of CEO did the same thing in the past years and that’s capitalism my friends, deal with it.
Twitter was (and still is) a completely disaster in terms of management and lazy people, and needs a “cleaning” to survive.
No, go with the downvotes, I don’t care. This is insane.
