Twitter, Lyft, Swipe… is there a wave coming?
From a tweet of one of the authors [1]: "KataGo was trained on Tromp-Taylor rules so we evaluate our attack using this too."

This is incorrect. According to the KataGo paper [2], KataGo is trained using modified Tromp-Taylor rules (as pointed out by [3]):

"Self play games used Tromp-Taylor rules modified to not require capturing stones within pass-aliveterritory [...] In Go, a version of Benson's algorithm [1] can prove areas safe even given unboundedly many consecutive opponent moves ("pass-alive"), enabling this minor optimization."

It would be more interesting if they beat KataGo using the rules it was trained on. You could write a bot to beat KataGo in chess, but KataGo wasn't trained on chess...

And this is more likely what's impacting companies like Lyft. Their business model worked in an easy-money environment, but doesn't work in an environment with more normal interest rates where it's harder to borrow money and costs more.

> If this doesn't interest you, at least learn Unity and/or Unreal. No more custom game engines. There is a time limit.

I work in the games industry and couldn't disagree with this post more. The above is generic advice you give to someone just starting out and wants to work on games but has no clue where to begin. This person is working on a custom games console which is incredible experience, useful and impressive on so many levels.

You have to use new hardware all the time. You have to relearn a new shader language all the time. You have to re-learn Unity and Unreal all the time, because they are a shifting target (especially Unity). I have shipped games with 6 different games engines on 4 generations of hardware. I've used 3 professionally in the last two years.

The skills you will learn working on this console are the stripped-down core of game development: relevant and everlasting.
Remember that the government doesn't count people who are not looking for work (perhaps because they've given up hope of ever finding a job, for example) as "unemployed".

So the actual number of people who are not working is certainly higher.

I feel that the answer to your question is right there in your question.
I am continually shocked at how few people actually care about this. Maybe I am just showing my age, because I remember in college, and even when I got my first cable modem, I could easily just spin up apache or IIS and have a website hosted from my house, with no additional money or hoops required- start up a webserver, pop in the IP into my browser, or my dynamic dns, and there we were on the web! This lead to all kinds of experimentation and such, even if I did get "hacked by Chinese!" when I had IIS running around 2001ish.

Google has been doing a great job of killing the "personal internet" by making it undiscoverable for several years, but now that we require a third party to somehow be involved, and likely a fee of some sort to be paid- I don't trust that the likes of Lets Encrypt and its duplicators to be available forever, the original "anyone can publish" dream of the web is dying in front of us. This: https://justinjackson.ca/words.html does not require SSL in any form, in fact most websites don't need it at all- and the obsession with even blogs wanting you to make accounts and to have to login, its all just heading in a very wrong direction.

Its just deplorable to me that I now need a third party to essentially tell me that I can be on the Internet. Its a huge step backwards in so many ways. And no one seems to care!

Layoffs do sometimes happen this way. I was an EM at a company with layoffs where line managers were not told at all about layoffs or included in deciding who to lay off: all discussions happened at the director level and up.
> So ... what's the wage cutoff where you're no longer entitled to sane working conditions?

Beyond all of the hype and drama, I'm not sure I have good information about what's going on at Twitter and if the conditions are sane or not.

Are employees being told, "sleep at the office for the next week or you're fired"?

Or are employees having the luxury of knowing that at least some layoffs are coming and have a choice to try and deliver something special to make their case? That's arguably incredibly privileged as most people never have foreknowledge about pending layoffs and don't get any last opportunity to show the value they can bring.

The labor force participation rate ("percentage of the population that is either working or actively looking for work") has been declining for 20 years and had a big drop at the beginning of the pandemic. Consequently, part of the low unemployment trend has been driven by people dropping out of the workforce/not looking for a job.

Depends on the use case, sometimes a list is more appropriate. On an old machine, Java 17 can iterate a list of 30 million strings looking for a match in around a half second. Just checked it in jshell. If the use case was that the map's keys could potentially change over the lifetime of the map or if the value's were not idempotent and if iterating 30 million items occurs fairly infrequently, then an ArrayList (in Java) might be the best choice.
How much of that $500K is liquid?
Counter-point : the tradeoff you accept when using a commercial engine is that they're extremely general purpose, which can be unsuitable if you're trying to do something weird.

Look at Braid if you want a good example. Using Unity or UE to build that game would almost certainly require more work than writing a simple 2d platformer engine. Furthermore, the story of how it came to be is, in fact, inexorably linked with the act of writing the engine itself.

Sometimes, writing the engine is the right choice.

Hack Club is awesome, I highly recommend it to anyone with teenage kids.

There is a playable version on the home page at: https://sprig.hackclub.com/

Aside: The game you play on that one was written by my 13yo son. He has become super involved in Hack Club over the last few months, since I showed him that "Sine Rider" game announced on HN (another Hack Club project), and I left it up to him to discover Hack Club from that. As someone who used to run and attend Hacking Society meetings, I was pretty happy to see him dig into Hack Club.

There doesn’t seem to be any good studies about that. Anecdotally, as someone who has been drinking 2-3 liters of Diet Coke or Coke Zero daily for over two decades, I haven’t experienced such an effect.
Give me one logical reason why we should give the NBER the authority to declare whether the United States of America is in a recession.

First, the NBER is not a government agency. It's a private organization.

Second, there is no law that says that the NBER has the legal authority to declare recessions.
What is going on?

Low unemployment.

High inflation.

High interest rates.

These are the hallmarks of an industrialization. Labor is needed to be more productive. Business wants capital to do it. Lack of labor and productivity results in supply shortages that raise prices, while labor shortages forces salaries to match.

Stocks, looking for dividends, will do poorly because of high pay, labor costs will eat profits and eaten profits will kill stock values, leaving to the appearance of recession.

Individuals will barely scrape by neutral because inflation offsets higher pay

But a good investment that raises productivity will pay very very handsomely in the future.

And those that don't? Will be inflated away to nothing.

Order is being restored to the post 2008 insanity. Many tech companies won't survive the jump.
I never figured the purpose of MathML. It's ugly/impractical to type as a text-based format. Verbose and inefficient compared to a binary format. A middle ground some people might like, but I can't stand.

I'd prefer one of these:

- A human-writable text format that's displayed in a formatted way, eg TeX or MathJax
- A binary format that represents structs and enums in code with a clear documentation of how it's packed and unpacked. That can be formatted for reading, and perhaps has a TeX-like API (or is just constructed programmatically using an API)

MathML, in contrast, provides neither the speed and small size of a binary format, while being unreadable and unwriteable.
There's a time for high velocity, and a time for stability. Federation, at least officially-supported federation is difficult when it's time for high velocity. Having used Signal in 2016 when that thread was written, it makes sense to me that Moxie felt it was a time for high velocity.

I'm not convinced that's still the case in 2022. There are a couple issues I'd like to see polished in the Android client, but I have not noticed bugs or missing features that seem likely to require breaking changes.

It means that the value proposition at face value seems preposterous to most people, e.g "watch some guy walking around the entire day" (justin.tv) or "watch some random guy play a video game" (twitch). Where someone thinks later, "Who the hell would have thought that would have been a business".

It's also sometimes used for something someone did for "shits and giggles" or as a side gig instead of spending more time on their serious day job or "primary project" (i.e. all those internal tools that grew into products).
Brother you literally are the definition of quality over quantity. I've never seen anyone else rise so fast in the youtube world as yourself, especially on the back of only a handful of videos. Really incredible work from a truly inspiring engineer. Keep it up.
Not at all. But we seem okay with management having a larger upside, given how the pay structure ratio has continued to evolve over the last few decades. I think it's only reasonable that, with outside rewards, management expects to take on outsized risk.

It feels like the social norms have shifted to accept one but not the other. In other words, we're only supportive of an asymmetrical risk:reward ratio that favors management.
In what quantities? Often these tests use implausibly large amounts.

I had similar experiences with DT.
When taking RAW+JPG I always struggled to create an edit of the RAW in DT that is more satisfying than the out of camera JPG - and I watched quite a few videos and read a few guides, also trying to work with scene-referred workflow introduced in DT4.
I'm currently giving Capture One a shot (Express version is free for Sony users) and I'm really pleased how accessible the UI is. Applying default adjustments already gives a great starting point for further tweaking (similar or better than the OOC JPG). Recovering highlights also works way better than in DT. It just felt like the algorithms in DT are sometimes not quite on the same level.

I never tried RawTherapee.
Regular moderate exercise improves your health results whether you loose weight or not. It is one of the few interventions that actually have statistical results. It also affects your life positively by making you stronger or faster or just able to walk longer depending on how exactly you exercise.

If you dont care about health or improvment in things like strength stamina, then the "dont exercise it is waste" knee jerk response makes some sense. If you care about health, it does not at all.
Yeah but if that aspect of the data hasn’t changed then the chart is still useful for seeing trends, and the rate is the lowest since at least 2007.

Currently, we don't believe that any of the apps in this space is clearly taking over the competition, and so we think that there is still the opportunity of finding the right way of doing it.
> the mild toxicity of the process forces the digestive system to flush everything

Do you have any more information on this "mild toxicity"? That does not sound like a healthy reaction to me.

My understanding was health experts encourage insoluble fiber more than anything, precisely because it is essentially inert — not digestable or fermented by microflora — and therefore merely adds bulk to the waste, which helps move stuff through the gut. Are you talking about soluble fiber and prebiotics?
A buddy of mine works for a company that makes industrial lighting. He said they raised prices 3x last year and their costs didn't go up at all.

Most companies are already making a shit ton of money. Firing people won't keep their stock prices from going down if a recession actually hits. It's moot.

Defintion: The Glycemic Index (GI) is a measure of the extent of the change in blood glucose content (glycemic response) following consumption of digestible carbohydrate, relative to a standard such as glucose.

Blood glucose is actively regulated by your body via relying on glycogen storage and breakdown in the muscles and liver, in healthy humans this system reacts quickly to maintain a constant blood glucose level (required for say, active brain function). See figure 1 in this review (pdf) of glycogen-related inherited diseases for an overview of how it's supposed to work (it's all tied into the cellular Krebs, aka tricarboxylic acid, cycle):

https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Joseph-Wolfsdorf/public...

Practically speaking, flooding your bloodstream with sugar (soft drinks, candy) seems to overwhelm the normal functioning of that system, but when you eat more complex carbohydrates which are slowly digested (potatoes, bread, pasta, etc.) this results in a steady but slow input of sugars to the bloodstream via the digestive system, which, depending on your resting energy level, will be either stored as glycogen or fed into the Krebs cycle for cellular energy conversion.
>Why? The whole point of the idea is that people don't get banned.

The whole point of whose idea? I'm discussing the subject of moderation, as in, not being moderated or banned for content.

Not the subject of not being banned for anything, ever. That is, spam, bots, personal threats, cp, could always be banned, and I'd be fine with it.

>is just returning to the state today with people completely disagreeing about what "sufficiently bad users" means.

The disagreement occurs because this is based on beliefs and ideas. But this idea or that idea, based on ideology, partisanship, etc....

If instead the banning was solely based on the type of content (e.g. no spam, threats, cp, automated mass posting) then there's infinitely less room for disagreement. Something either is spam or is not. Either is a threat or not. CP or not, and most people can agree on that.

Even if not everybody agrees on whether X is spam ("I think it's good, because it informs us about a product we didn't know about"), it's much much less than people disagreeing on what's a bad take on politics, or "disinformation", or such, and much freer speech.

>The "public forums" (twitter, youtube, facebook) are all ad supported. Without advertisers those products simply die.

That's a bonus!
This smacks of "not their fault, they are just making an economically rational decision" justification to me.

If they signed a contract to the effect they would work exclusively for one company, their choice to lie is unethical. It might be profitable as well, but "not their fault because it's profitable and they can get away with it" shamelessness, writ large, is making everything worse.

Show HN: Redshift and OpenSearch Pricing Added to Ec2instances.info
Hi HN! I'm the lead maintainer for the Amazon pricing site known as ec2instances.info. When Vantage acquired ec2instances.info a year ago we committed to increasing development velocity on it and we have shipped several major features this year.

Today we're continuing that by adding pricing for Redshift and OpenSearch, two AWS services which use EC2 instances under the hood. Each page has on-demand and reserved pricing as well as instance specs. The pages don't have advanced specs like Concurrency Scaling for Redshift or EBS Volumes for OpenSearch but these could be added.

We’d love to hear your feedback and what you’d hope to see in the future! Feel free to comment here or email me at everett at vantage dot sh.

no, you have to run "restic forget" with the policy you want (keep last X, last monthly Y, etc.) followed up with a "restic prune". Or you can pass "--prune" to the "forget" command I think.

You don't always want to forget/prune snapshots. Especially if you're using a cloud service like B2. It can easily cost you more to prune than actual storage costs if you're not careful.
