Additionally it seems they have removed the "sort by most popular" on channels. Incredibly fustrating.
God damnit!!! I also hate their stupid topic music channels that didnt even allow sorting by popularity!
It absolutely does not prevent bank runs, because that's what just happened to FTX.

Sure, you can keep it under your bed and assume all the risk yourself and not earn interest; that was OK while it was an appreciating asset, but that's not something you can rely on.

I think the google model is to figure out what works and then break it or kill it.
Yesterday I presented the MVP version for the webapp of Remote-Work.app. Now, I’m planning what comes next, and I decided to try a different approach, to invest more in the ingestion of our data instead of investing in the Frontend app for now.
What I love about GrapheneOS is that it gives people a choice. It starts out slim, without any Google services. You have the choice to use them if you need them, and you can use them in the same way and with the same sandbox as you would any other app. But the most important thing is choice and options.

You can even use Sandboxed Google Play in a specific user profile, instead of options like MicroG where it has to be privileged for a lot of its features/functionality to function, and where it's ever-present in all of your profiles.

Furthermore, since we're talking about Google apps and services, I find the fact that CalyxOS ships with the privileged eSIM activation Google app which is enabled by default and to my understanding cannot be disabled very concerning...

https://blog.privacyguides.org/2022/04/21/grapheneos-or-caly...

On the other hand, (again) GrapheneOS has it disabled by default and you're given the choice to use it if you need it, instead of having it forced on you by default.

After looking at all options for alternative Android OSes, not matter which way you slice it, GrapheneOS takes the cake, so I don't really understand how someone who has actually looked at both options can call it "terrible".
Of course some decoupling exists. But decoupling from CO2 only, and even then, not with a sufficient pace, by far.

Sooner or later every social website adopts "driving away users" as its primary goal. YouTube isn't there yet, but they've finally started moving in that direction.
Exactly the same here. I mainly use YouTube for education and the discovery is awful.

That said, being able to sort comments chronologically here on HN would be nice too, so people in glass houses…
I don't think I'd trust myself to properly align them on my keys.
Every unit mess dinner. Every at-work retirement party. Every roll call. Manditory fun days are where such reputations are made.
Not all users bother to make comprehensive playlists though. Sort by oldest is convenient when playlists are incomplete or missing altogether. I really don't think it's a serious burden on YT's infrastructure, since it just involves sorting some metadata by reverse order.
still there for me, they just changed how the buttons look and moved it to thee upper left side of the video.
The Argument: eCommerce apps don't need the sophistication of Native coded apps. Having a Mobile team coding in Native code just means doing the same things 3 times. It's more efficient to have one team for an SPA and use that for both the web version and mobile app.
The very problem of SQLite: Single user only. Although SQLite does have WAL but it still doesn't allow you to do concurrent write unless you want to see file corruption.

This means SQLite is very much locked to things that works with one specific purpose and almost nothing else. Sure, you can be read-only, but you have to run alongside the app in the specific node, too.

Another problem (although without solving the single user mindset this wouldn't be a problem at all) is high availability. You want to make sure that your database won't get lost do you.

Things like Litestream [1] attempts to solve the SQLite backup problem it by continuously saving the database state and pack t up to S3-compatibles or file system but its just half the story. You want to make sure your operation not stopping. This is where HA comes in to save you from an emergency fixup when you are enjoying your holiday.

It doesn't mean that nobody tried to solve both these problems though. Ahem, introducing rqlite [2]. Although my own experience is not very great because the memory usage is quite high and does not fit my need (because the embedded device only has 512MB on it, and every byte counts, sorry), I guess that's the price to pay if you want to turn a non-multiuser, non-concurrently acccess database into one...Another honorable mention would be LiteFS [3] but I haven't used it yet so I have no say on it.

The majority of these tokens are just ERC20 contracts running on Ethereum, not some custom one-off chain and service; and the reputable exchanges actually do run their own audits on the code they have to interface with (which I know from firsthand experience having a token listed on Coinbase). I also think it is entirely fair that if you buy a token and you can't withdraw that token due to a bug in that token, that's part of the risk of owning that token and that issue shouldn't infect any other behaviors or any other tokens at the exchange. (So, maybe "you just don't get it"? But if you aren't willing to hear such feedback then maybe you are yourself overly confident in your understanding?)
Consumption-based accounting shows across-the-board drop in the rate of CO2 emissions (for every continent [0]). Consumption-based accounting is, to quote OWID:

In this case, I would recommend that you get an employer-specific GitHub account, so you can compartmentalize it that way. A bit of a hassle, yes, but then, you're definitely not tying yourself in git history to that employer for your entire career.
I believe this to be true to the extent that energy sources are decoupled from emissions. Energy is still the foundation of economic activity.
You deposit $10k in the bank

The bank originates a mortgage to someone. It uses (some of) your $10k to give cash to the customer getting the mortgage, and the customer then uses that cash to buy the house.

For whatever reason, a bank run happens, i.e. everyone comes to make a withdrawal all at once

You try to withdraw your $10,000. The problem is that everyone wants cash, not shares of houses, but the bank only has so much cash.

The bank is good for your $10k, but not on the timeframe you want it. The bank is _illiquid_, but _insolvent_.

The bank will try and sell it's mortgages to someone else for the money, but if it tries to do this all at once it will likely end up selling them at prices that are below par. In that case the bank might end up with less assets than liabilities; this makes the bank _insolvent_.

In a deposit insurance scheme, the government takes over the bank, pays out to customers, and services the loans. The government can do this because it can easily create liquidity. Generally in recent history the government still makes a profit when it reduces an illiquid bank
That number is way too low.

No expert, but the way I remember it from the book, it's one idea how an evolutionary path towards consciousness might start.

First it's just a nerve-path to prevent flinching back from the contact with something you wanted to manipulate. But once you have a fancy neural path that tells the visual cortex what light/objects to expect after you move your head left/right (maybe flee if it's unexpected), it's only a small evolutionary step to re-purpose this path, "execute" the same path while suppressing the head movement. So now you can process further what you are expecting if you move left vs right. Which could be interpreted as a step towards being conscious of your surroundings. (This is not 100% what the book says, but the idea I got from that chapter.)
Bort does just that, uses browser's IndexedDB and syncs via Dropbox. But note though, that it's not similar to Pinboard etc. in the sense that it's not designed for a huge archive of rarely accessed bookmarks. Works well for something smaller, like what people commonly have as browser bookmarks.

Would the Democratic People's Republic of Sweden be willing to drop that kind of dole on a single patient? It seems wasteful to me.
There are some big open questions there though - this may easily be the knell tolling for economic growth as an interesting measure of progress. We don't care about GDP because we really love indexes, but because it used to be a close proxy of energy availability.

GDP doubling used to mean 2x as much energy and an almost unbelievable improvement in the median living standard. Doubling energy availability is huge! You can tell from the political pressures building that a lot of countries with positive GDP are missing that sort of comforting tailwind that keeps everyone happy and working together.

Yup. One of my previous work was in a very tiny company where everyone was busy, yet my job was basically this type of performance optimization. The reason ? We were building a real time processing product, and we were not hitting our frame time, meaning the product could not be shipped. In those situations, convincing the pm that you are doing important performance work is trivial.

GDP is still very much almost exactly correlated to energy consumed. Current inflation is also almost directly caused by energy loss. At this point people should not read any narratives. Look at direct physical evidence and do the math.
Your arguments are very misguided, long, rambly, and often digresses. It's hard to decipher your points and it is very exhausting to read. Would love to have discourse, but your points need to be shorter, concise, and clear.
It doesn't inspire much faith in article's author when its title is:

Maybe it's all otherwise true and accurate, but it raises a warning flag for me about how good their methodology might be.

Supply has everything to do with inflation. Money supply.

You're conflating the price of a good that is going up, becoming more valuable against the currency, known as scarcity, to inflation, or expansion of the money supply. Regardless if that scarcity is deliberately manufactured. It's comparing apples and oranges.

You cannot do this because Oil and gas are not a measures of wealth. It's backwards to use them as such. We use money as a measure of wealth.

Eh, loads of crime can only be prosecuted because of the victim's testimony.

Let's say Bob thinks Charles is an asshole, so he goes to Charles's house and beats him up. Charles has no CCTV in his home. The police can see he's been beaten up, but the only thing identifying Bob is Charles's testimony. Bob says it wasn't him, he was at home watching TV.

Initrd is as useful as it was before. It is just combined with the kernel image. You can still ignore the bits of advice from that blog post, and generate the initrd using whatever tool that you want, exactly as before. What is added is just one objcopy command to combine the kernel, the initrd, and the command line into one blob (UKI) that you can boot. You can even sign it with your own Secure Boot key, and it will still work, and be more useful than its components, because now your initrd (reminder: built according to whatever method you want) is cryptographically verified.

I might be missing something, but what's the difference between those two statements?

I suppose that given the first sentence, you could argue that the number of would-be quitters would be different if they learned their coworkers earned more money through means other than transparency laws, but I'm guessing that's not what you're alluding to.
My complaint is not about search engines in particular. I agree the quality of search engines is lacking across the board.

That said, with a traditional search engine, you can poke into its algorithm and find out what is it that made it decide that a spam link was more relevant than an useful link. You can examine what makes your implementation more or less accurate, and devise potential changes that would make it more accurate.

With the current state of AI, you're crossing your fingers and hoping for the best. You're combining several black boxes that have been trained on arbitrary subsets of internet data, and hoping that they've inferred something from that training data about the current shape of the internet that leads to useful results.
The problem is that governments (and others) can interfere with the internet. That's a technological problem that can only have technological solutions. Policy work is just asking our adversaries to please slow down while we build better defences. That can be useful, but it's not sustainable as a long-term solution.
How can you have a working government which has these problems?
These people have significant power over millions of other people, yet they are unable to resolve issues like these amongst themselves.

I am not saying that these women are wrong, certainly my oppinnion on politicians is low enough, but the gravity of the situation is astonishing. A government where one group sees another group as potential rapists clearly can not function well.

I doubt that it's not possible to write firmware/drivers to present the two screens as a single one to the OS and the applications. Early cheap 4K monitors were doing this quite a bit 4-5 years ago.
They probably looked at tik tok, and realized most people consumed recent content like bots.

They then calculated the cost of sorting, and realized that it would save them more money than upsetting the users that like the function would cost.

Then, A/B testing confirmed it for a few months.

Then, tada, good bye features.

> Especially among pragmatic software builders who run their own business and do not work for the man. A demographic that I expect to grow.

From the FAQ; the are lots of caveats (especially, the last).

> Situations Where A Client/Server RDBMS May Work Better

> Client/Server Applications

> If there are many client programs sending SQL to the same database over a network, then use a client/server database engine instead of SQLite. SQLite will work over a network filesystem, but because of the latency associated with most network filesystems, performance will not be great. Also, file locking logic is buggy in many network filesystem implementations (on both Unix and Windows). If file locking does not work correctly, two or more clients might try to modify the same part of the same database at the same time, resulting in corruption. Because this problem results from bugs in the underlying filesystem implementation, there is nothing SQLite can do to prevent it.

> A good rule of thumb is to avoid using SQLite in situations where the same database will be accessed directly (without an intervening application server) and simultaneously from many computers over a network.

> High-volume Websites

> SQLite will normally work fine as the database backend to a website. But if the website is write-intensive or is so busy that it requires multiple servers, then consider using an enterprise-class client/server database engine instead of SQLite.

> Very large datasets

> An SQLite database is limited in size to 281 terabytes (248 bytes, 256 tibibytes). And even if it could handle larger databases, SQLite stores the entire database in a single disk file and many filesystems limit the maximum size of files to something less than this. So if you are contemplating databases of this magnitude, you would do well to consider using a client/server database engine that spreads its content across multiple disk files, and perhaps across multiple volumes.

> High Concurrency

> SQLite supports an unlimited number of simultaneous readers, but it will only allow one writer at any instant in time. For many situations, this is not a problem. Writers queue up. Each application does its database work quickly and moves on, and no lock lasts for more than a few dozen milliseconds. But there are some applications that require more concurrency, and those applications may need to seek a different solution.
