This is one of those times when it's helpful to know what you're optimizing for. On HN we have the luxury of a single principle that we're optimizing for: intellectual curiosity. (See https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html plus lots of past explanations: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...)

This makes it easier to answer questions that would otherwise feel like hard tradeoffs. In this case: should people be shouting angrily in a protesty way in HN threads? No—but not because protest is bad or unimportant. It's just incompatible with intellectual curiosity, and since we're optimizing for the latter, it takes precedence.

When people are protesting or doing battle, they tend to either repeat their most effective phrases (slogans, etc.) or to spontaneously vent their strong emotions (name-calling, etc.). But repetition and name-calling are clearly bad for curiosity. I believe these are even different neurological states: high indignation comes with a level of arousal that rules out the relaxed playfulness that curious conversation depends on.

I hope it's clear that this isn't a judgment about protest or indignation in general—those are as human as anything else and when they're called for they're called for. It's just relative to the particular mandate of this particular site. We're trying to play one game rather than the other.

Is that censorship? Well, that word has become so stretchy that you can apply it however you feel. But I'd say no, for the same reason that chess isn't crokinole. It isn't censorship to say you don't get to whack your opponent's bishop.

The article states that other designs are being looked at due to improvements in other areas, namely sustainability and suitability to alternate fuel sources. I would think that if you had a design that came close in reliability and safety, sacrificing speed for better efficiency would be a good tradeoff on many commercial flights with passengers or cargo.

Not so fast.

"virus" is a nonstandard Latin mass noun. It's neuter, but uses the 2nd declension masculine nominative, and being a mass noun it had no plural form in classical Latin. However if you wanted to give it a plural form, the grammatically correct plural would be "vira". This construction would be analogous to "fishes" or "waters" in English.

"surplus" comes to us via Old French, so its plural perhaps should be whatever plurals were in Old French. However it also originates in Latin as "superplus", which is the prefix "super" + the adjective "plus". The word "plus" itself is also irregular. Its masculine or feminine nominative plural is "plures", and its neuter nominative plural is "plura".

I admit that "superplodes" is pretty fun to say.
I see we're still deep in the "fuck around" stage and have yet to reach "find out."
The article raises some interesting points but I still disagree that comparing the mess of JavaScript dependencies[0] to GNU utils is warranted - the level of trust is fundamentally different. I have some reasonable intuition that the authors of GNU packages as well as the distro maintainers do a good job writing, packaging and vetting these tools. That's not really the case with left-pad or is-array. I can trust that an update to cat or ls will not break my system because enough people have looked at it, but I really don't know what's gonna happen when I update left-pad (without even knowing it, because a it's a transitive dependency).

The other point is that GNU utils are self-contained binaries and don't usually include transitive dependencies 20 levels deep.

Even when the problems these packages solve are not 100% trivial, unless you trust that library to be continuously maintained, maybe consider not adding the dependency, instead taking inspiration from the code and writing your own, maybe even simplified version of it (careful with that, you don't want to write your own crypto, for example - but when we're talking about a three-file "compare XML files" test util that hasn't been updated since 2014, just copying that code into your project might be the better approach).

[0]: And it really is JavaScript - I don't know of any other language with the same kind of explosion of micro-packages. I'm not saying that other languages never experience dependency hell - of course they do - only that it's usually not as horrifying as it is with JS.

Hey everyone! Metaphor team here.

We launched Metaphor earlier this morning! It's a search engine based on the same sorts of generative modeling ideas behind Stable Diffusion, GPT-3, etc. It's trained to predict the next link (similar to how GPT-3 predicts the next word).

After GPT-3 came out we started thinking about how pretraining (for large language models) and indexing (for search engines) feel pretty similar. In both you have some code that's looking at all the text on the internet and trying to compress it into a better representation. GPT-3 itself isn't a search engine, but it got us thinking, what would it look like to have something GPT-3-shaped, but able to search the web?

This new self-supervised objective, next link prediction, is what we came up with. (It's got to be self-supervised so that you have basically infinite training data – that's what makes generative models so good.) Then it took us about 8 months of iterating on model architectures to get something that works well.

And now you all can play with it! Very excited to see what sorts of interesting prompts you can come up with.
Honestly, I'm with those people.

Your explanation is fully technically correct, but the subsequent messaging that inflation is zero is a matter of not reading the room.

When an important item dramatically rises in price, this can have a massive impact on people. A dramatic drop in purchasing power or even businesses needing to close. It is impactful.

When the price continues to be high, the impact remains. The pain continues, the problem is not solved. The politically smart messaging is to say "we feel and acknowledge your continued pain, this is what we're going to do about it", not "Good news! Inflation is 0%."

Same with the opportunistic messaging of sometimes using MoM or YoY, whichever number looks better. When MoM inflation in October is 15% and 5% in November, you really shouldn't bring this as good news. The situation still got worse in the real world.
As you said, at the end of the day it's an ethical guideline that must be upheld, more than something based in economics. We do compensate participants as well as we're allowed within these guidelines!

I agree with your points, but compensation must be approved by the independent institutional review board, who is accountable to national ethical review boards and thus acts very conservatively.
I mean, aerodynamic drag scales linearly with both Cd and A. It isn’t too far-fetched to think that you might be able to trade them off in a blended wing design and come out ahead by reducing interference drag and wetted surface area.

The pressure vessel problem is much more concerning to me—I can’t think of a way to solve it that wouldn’t massively increase weight and/or reduce usable space.

To be fair, the B2/737 comparison isn’t particularly fair—they were optimized for wildly different things, and only one design was significantly constrained by acquisition and operational costs.

Would it improve the situation to simply require a CAPTCHA once per day per non-subscriber to tweet? I would think it would greatly increase the cost to operate a troll farm, but have minimal impact on real users (setting aside accessibility and third-party clients a moment). If it causes attrition because some people decide it's not worth two seconds of clicking fire hydrants to voice their thought, nothing of value was lost.

It takes not much room at all to create a solar farm. A section of land perhaps. I see from Google Maps that many plots clear of construction surround Paris for instance, at a distance of a few miles.
Sure, but this is still exactly what we want to see. If the target is 2%, YoY metrics moving in that direction is a positive step.

The only thing we can hope for is that, as inflation numbers continue dropping back toward "normal", wage increases will eventually catch up and make those already-higher prices less difficult to swallow. Of course, it never works out that neatly.
One thing missing in the article is the all-or-nothing of dependencies in most languages. A package with millions of micro functions is nice, but if your program only uses 10 of them it doesn't matter, you program has all. Some dependency managers allows you to "disable" components, but they need to be manually picked and usually you can only disable chunks, not individual functions.

Wouldn't be nice to let the compiler package only the functions really used in the code and discard the rest? Do any language provide this? (C/C++?)
Unless Musk is giving existing workers a ton of ISOs I don’t see why they should care at all how Twitter does at this point. A worker being excited about a shakeup entailing significantly less freedom, and significantly more work, stress and instability has got to have a bad case of brain worms.

No, but the EU is.
Yes, I have read the book too. Because of the systems they have built for the company, they are able to thrive when others struggle.
I think their biggest issue was suddenly being viral, while also dealing with server incursion/tons of new accounts, which meant that lots and lots of people are suddenly clamoring specifically for their attention/making requests for said lists/asking what the rules are/responding directly to the post that went viral but without being vetted beforehand or understanding the previous implicit social rules.

While they started with a small discussion with people informed about the differences and server stress became instead a tornado of a much larger discussion while also dumping more stress on the servers, as well as emotional stress of having to deal with all the incoming attention.

So. They are overwhelmed, and everything seems like it needs to be solved with the highest priority, but they aren't set up with enough help desk/sub-admin people to filter/protect themselves.

Basically all mastodon server admins have a need, at least temporarily, for some business style structure. They need a Janine Melnitz (Ghostbusters Secretary) to prioritize server is burning down messages, organize non-server is burning down contact requests, and direct help/press requests to appropriate people. And perhaps someone else available to work on social onboarding.

All personal blog/toot/tweets posted by said overwhelmed server admins should also be taken with a grain (or more) of salt. They may feel differently when things are calmer, or might be able to be more diplomatic in general.

Overall though, it was good to hear about how the Author is feeling, and how self-aware they are about how it was similar to when their cohort joined and had to adapt and how the previous fediverse admins might have dealt with similar things.

"..there are names for the sort of person who makes lists of people so others can monitor their communications. They’re not nice names.”
Yeah, talking speed in the manner of C1M sorts of things. Server stuff - where python tends to be rather than GUI side. It's demonstrably faster for IO to not be context switching with threads -- but if threads were equal weight to events, I don't the event programming style being more programmer productive than the threaded style. I can see where events are useful in a GUI context, but UI Thread + thread pool dispatch still works well, if your framework supports it.

Just this week, I got to the bottom of a performance issue in django because the developers were using async, and then doing eleventy billion db queries to import a big csv, thereby blocking all other requests.

One of the questions I ask on our programming interviews is "how would you make this (cpu bound) thing go faster" -- Async is definitely a low quality answer to that, when things like indexing or hash lookup vs array scan are still on the table.
Right. I mean, bringing back everyone to the office would just be a part of the tightening, which is quite obviously happening with Musk's reign.

sure, but it's being loaded up with piles of users who were perfectly happy with corporate bullshit two weeks ago. you're not going to make cultural converts of them before some bright eyed product manager at google spots this opportunity.

in fact, you'll probably _never_ convert them. they'll probably convert the rest of the place. hence "eternal september".

> Look at the energy component of CPI. And then consider how that flows through to food and transportation. It is very possible that the vast majority of what we are seeing is the result of a big jump in energy prices over a few months, 8-10 months ago.

Well, that makes it even worse, the "flow through" you're describing from prices increasing because an input price increased. That spreads the initial shock over a longer term.

But the effect I'm describing shows up even if it's just a single good that steps once. What's measured in the YoY inflation number is a convolution/FIR filter of 12 months of changes.
I think that the NYT article has the much better lede from the emails in it:

Due to resignations by 3 top execs yesterday, engineers are now likely to have to make sure that their code is compliant with the FTC w.r.t. the 2011 judgement against Twitter.

As in, there is a good chance that individual SWEs at Twitter are going to be legally culpable for violations.

Even if I am totally misreading that quick lede about dense legalese (likely), it still says that Twitter currently has no reasonable way to stay in the FTC's good graces for the foreseeable future.

Y'all, don't try to appease a billionaire and get yourself in legal trouble. Don't even try to chance it. Walk away.

The problem is frontal area is higher, so more drag. Wetted area[1] is also much higher, so there's a lot of skin friction.

The advantages are (theoretically) lower structure mass per passenger. But airplane cabins are pressurized, and lightweight pressure vessels 'want' to be cylinders or spheres, not big flat boxes.

There's a aerospace engineering student who gave a thesis talk on the disadvantages of blended wing-body, and offers some possible solutions.[2]

"Areacode" 867-5309 usually works in the US.
The three solutions the author lists at the end of the article are themselves often in tension with each other, that is an expressive language is at odds with having a single great standard library and having an agreed-upon single utility package.

An expressive language almost inevitably leads to more than one way of doing things and those different ways of doing things are often fundamentally mutually incompatible (i.e. a better way of writing the code will not save you). That essentially fragments the standard library and any single utility packages.

See e.g. the absolute profusion of alternative "standard libraries" for Common Lisp, Haskell, etc. Even ones that rein things in a little bit like Clojure still fragment when it comes to things like concurrency, with a lot of 3rd-party libraries purporting to replace core libraries (e.g. core.async vs manifold).

>Are Turing-complete languages a bad choice for pipelines?

I'd say that non turing complete languages are a bad fit for pipelines. Even mildly complex pipeline will eventually have loops and conditionals.

Better python than some originally-a-config-YAML language turned into an imperative monstrosity with loops and conditionals bolted on.
