I am pretty sure nobody except nerds knows what IRC is right now. It's long since been supplanted by user-friendlier group chat services.

There's a lot of talk around #mastoadmin lately about people wanting some way to make one instance follow another instance's blocks, with varying amounts of human decision-making in the loop. There's multiple people already sharing their blocklists to help new admins catch up with five or six years of blocking undesirable instances one at a time. This will pretty much result in some people ending up as de-facto "net admins", there are already admins with a long-standing history of posting solid block suggestions.
Their audits operate on the principle of "your keys = your coin". That's good enough for me. But you have a point and that's why they listed it as a caveat. If you want them to open the rest of their books, I guess we'll just have to wait until they go public.
WSL1 was much more interesting than cygwin: cygwin is a collection of ports. WSL1 used the existing binaries and transported kernel calls directly to a Linux kernel "personality" for the NT Kernel (which was designed to flexibly support multiple "personalities" like that way back in the day, but which hadn't been put to much use in recent decades before WSL1 brought it back and did something cool with it).

(WSL2 is a lightweight VM in a traditional VM sense.)

100% agreed. On my last flight where a family sat together without paying, I was literally crying and shaking. 'This isn't how capitalism works!' I cried out, but the flight attendant wouldn't have any of it.

I don't know how you managed, but on my next flight with families who dodge valid charges, I will raise my plastic cup to you good sir.
Using facebook's latest https://galactica.org/ i can get wiki pages that are pretty informative summaries of topics that don't yet exist on the net (though not very good yet).

A lot of the blog posts i read here are manually generated blogspam. These timelines these will converge, so i don't see a huge difference .

I've heavily used R several times.

I agree that it is a trash language and that, outside that many frontier academic ideas are available and some plotting preferences are solidly prescriptive, it should be thrown into the trash bin.

Python, Julia when it gets its druthers for TTFP, Octave, Fortran, C, and eventually Rust. These are the tools I've found in use over and over and over again across business, government, and non-profits.

Everywhere R is used by the org I have seen major gaps in capacity to deliver specifically because R doesn't scale well.
One thing I wish git did differently was to have an atomic commit-and-push operation. I'd like to prepare my commit as normal, but when its ready, it pushes that commit as well, but if that push fails, it undoes the commit.

Why? I recently configured my github to use a hidden email address. To this end, it required me to use a github.com email address it generated for my commits. I set it up and started pushing commits, everyone was happy.

Then I went to a different folder that had a separate clone of the same repo, and I forgot I had configured github this way. I made some changes and did the usual commit-and-push but github rejected it. I had used the wrong email. Oops.

But now I had a problem. My local repo had the commit with the wrong email address in place and I didn't know to change it. I couldn't make a new commit with the new email as the old one was still there. I looked up how to revert already committed commits and long story short I did it wrong and deleted all my recent changes.

Is this state dependent or neighborhood-dependent? Interestingly, my son is 12 and he rides his bike absolutely everywhere. The only ask we have is that he should let us know where he is going and ping us once he reaches there, but he was out with his friends all the time. We seem to be an outlier though since none of his friends' parents seem to trust their kids that much.

Another data point, I have seen more kids playing around in the streets in a working class neighborhood and the richer neighborhoods are empty. These kind of issues seem to come from the more entitled, upper middle-class people who have been primed to be paranoid through crime reporting.

I just wanted to say, among all the negativity in the comments, that I love RxJS, and fell in love with it after Jafar's workshop.

As Ben Lesh often says, there are sadly a lot of misconceptions around Rxjs and the Observable type. The Observable type is a primitive so useful that it keeps getting reinvented over and over (React's useEffect is a weird React-only observable; a redux store is an observable); whereas Rx is a set of convenience functions to help with the use of the Observable type. If people are happy to use lodash, I can't understand what makes them so unhappy about Rx, which is like lodash, but for async collections.
Because a government is only as strong as its businesses and buildings/assets. Crypto is on another tier and apart from government.
When talking about writing lodash V5, jdalton (the creator) said "No FP wrappers. That fad is over. RIP your co-workers if you introduced that headache into your codebase. Definitely not team or human friendly." [1]

To me, this sort of FP seems to have been tried and have failed. I don't know how much of this is due to the language and how much is due to the pattern not working well in the minds of developers. I wonder if JS had an implementation of something like C#'s LINQ if it would be easier to write code this way.

Large non-cancelable expenses are probably one area where travel insurance can make sense. When you can mostly unwind things in light of travel disruptions, illness, etc. mostly not. (Or, when you can, maybe make refundable reservations even if there's something of a premium.)

More cost effective and answered to the business serving travelers. TSA answers to nobody and customer service is not even a priority. Private security that harassed, berated, and abused patrons would not be working private security for very long.

You will have to define effective to tell if TSA or private security is better. TSA is an effective hinderance on travel, jobs program, and public money funnel for scanner companies. Private security was more effective at scaling security for the risk and trying to be a minimal hinderance to travelers.
I think you have it backwards. This kind of nonsense doesn’t happen in third world countries. (Other kinds of nonsense, for sure.)
The American government, and several across the pond, literally did (partially) nationalize major banks and the treasury sold those shares back after the crisis, leaving the taxpayer with a pretty decent return. TARP earned a net benefit of 15 billion.

Show HN: Narrative BI – Actionable analytics for growth teams
Michael and Yury here – we're building a no-code analytics platform for growth teams that automatically generates actionable data insights.

After working in the data space for many years, we realized there was still a huge gap in the marketing analytics market. Growth teams have so much marketing and advertising data, yet this siloed data is not actionable.

The existing BI and search-driven analytics solutions are designed for data-savvy people. In our experience (previously built an NLP company called FriendlyData), non-technical people just don't know what questions to ask.

So we decided to try a different approach: Narrative BI automatically generates a personalized feed of insights. You just need to connect your data sources (takes 2 min to set up), and you will get automated narratives, alerts, and reports in minutes.

We currently support UA, GA4, Google Ads, and Facebook Ads, but many more integrations will be added soon.

You can try it out for free and give feedback or roast it in the comments section. Just connect your data source, and you'll start getting narratives in 5 minutes.

Complexity breeds ability. Our computers will have to continue to get more complex in order for AI to do the same.

What humans have is scale. There are 10 billion devices connected to the internet. Cool, right? More than humans? No. Being human has really big perks.

We are mobile.

We have hands and feet.

We have eyes and touch and smell and we use tools to expand what we can see.

We each possess the ability to process data and filter data at scales many magnitudes greater than a computer. Note that data in this case isn't "many miles of spreadsheet data" - data in this case is worldly observation. You notice weird things, you report it to your friends. You try weird things, you report it to your friends.

Communication between humans is limited, as is our memory, but it's limited for a reason. 99 percent of information is worthless junk human communication gets most of the important parts through.

Then we need to parse mass amounts of data? Computers do that.

Comparing your information to all other known information? It's an O n squared problem. You can throw hardware at it but as informations scope grows it will outpace the hardware eventually.

Humans are crazy advanced compared to machines in basically every sense. I think the viewpoint here that machines will have superior senses is extrapolating how computers work today and is thoroughly impractical. We will find these logical and reproducible systems look more and more like we do as we push the line.

I expect eventual marginal improvements that can't outpace human "plentifulness", and biological modifications and creations to be our real future.
Imo, part of the problem with these discussions is the terms, capitalism and socialism, have been stretched to mean much broader things than "private" vs "public" ownership. If you use the original definitions, than Denmark/Sweden are not very socialist at all; at least compared to China/Venezuela where the state (ie the public) owns a lot (this has nothing to do with whether the actual governments are democratic or not).

In theory, there is no government in a purely Communist state. In theory, since everyone has everything they need, there should be no conflict. This has never actually worked in practice (see any study about hippie communes, aside from the fact no nation has every gone that far).

For those Northern European countries, having high taxes and many more decommodified markets (like health care and education) are more about the "Welfare" state than capitalism vs socialism. Tho many people take about this as "socializing" the cost, it doesn't really have anything to do with socialism the economic model.
Everyone is against government security until a bunch of guys fly airplanes into buildings.
DAs more than judges, since DAs need successful convictions on crimes important to their constituency to get re-elected, and they need police cooperation to get successful convictions.

A judge may well throw this out on its merits, but the case has to progress far enough that a judge has the chance to consider it on its merits. A DA offering a plea deal "so you avoid risking jail time" is basically circumventing that, as the judge doesn't have the resources or authority to investigate every plea deal that comes their way.
"I will call 911 right now as a stranger is trying to abduct my son" should be the correct response.

Not a jab at you, but so tired of random people thinking they know what is best for my son from a 3 second interaction. We really need to bring back some shaming as I truly believe that is how you get a community to work together again instead of against each other.
No, that's a strawman. The severity of human extinction is not infinite. For instance, it would be preferable for humanity to go extinct than for every human to be tortured for every minute of their life, and since there is no number larger than infinity, the severity of human extinction must be finite.

This tells me that you haven't seriously engaged with the arguments over AGI. I'm sure there's plenty of nonsense armchair philosophising happening, but you don't take all the "quantum woo" that's out there as some indictment of real quantum mechanics, do you?
That is not what Scott Aaronson said. It's what you might believe; fair enough! Sacrificial giving is a big thing in the religion I belong to, too! Aaronson is making a point that minmaxing absolute donations (even, in this specific case, if it means defrauding thousands of customers) is a pathway towards moral superiority.

Well, speculators should not be backstopped at all.

But if you feel there’s no difference between stocks (an enforceable legal claim on the real property and intellectual property of an on going enterprise), housing (real property) and crypto (nothing, literally nothing) then there’s no point in discussing it.

You can replace "infinity" with any suitably huge number; I don't need to quibble over tenths, hundredths, and thousandths of a percentile risk that something is going to happen.
Will this be available for the open-source/self-hosted version? Would be awesome if this makes it there and we can self-host Timescale within AWS with S3 backing the storage of older data.

I use Timescale for internal analytics tools -- time-series metrics, logs, etc from hardware systems. Our deployments have very low CPU usage, so running on a single EC2 instance is feasible. Our main concern is always just running out of disk space. It would be amazing if this ends up being a config option in the open source version, where we can point the instance at an S3 bucket and provide the right IAM access.
Is there a reason powershells Select-String won’t suffice?
I agree with your second point that having deontological boundaries is important. Interestingly, people like Eliezer Yudkowsky (generally respected in the EA movement, I'm pretty sure?) also agree with you about that. He's been reiterating the point recently on twitter, though this post [1] says pretty much the same thing and it's from 2008. Generally, I'd attribute your examples of "utilitarianism gone wrong" to mental illness or sociopathy rather than to holding a utilitarian philosophy. For the average person, moral philosophy is much more of a way to explain the choices we make after the fact than a thing that actually determines the choices.

Kind of. I don't think this kind of thing is typical. However, when it does happen, it's astonishing how many people in the system are just fine with it and go along with it. One neighbor acting badly, or one police officer crossing his boundaries, wouldn't be an issue if the rest of the system (other officers, DA, CPS, representatives in government, etc.) worked and said "this is clearly ridiculous, stop bothering the woman." The crazy thing is to see how, once initiated, the entire system is happy to go along with the farce and the persecution of the hapless individual.

One case I always think about is when a 17 year old sent a picture of his penis to his 15 year old girlfriend. Then the police went after him for child-pornography (his own penis), and demanded he either give them a picture of his erect penis or they'd inject him with something to force an erection and take it themselves[1]:

> Virginia police have obtained a search warrant to photograph the erect penis of a 17-year-old facing felony child-pornography charges for sexting an explicit video to his 15-year-old girlfriend, the boy's lawyer says.

> If he doesn't cooperate, the Manassas City Police Department has threatened to take him to a hospital and medically induce an erection with an injection, attorney Jessica Harbeson Foster toldThe Washington Post.

> Police already photographed the teen's genitals against his will when he was arrested in late January, she said.

Oh, and one of the main officers involved later killed himself after he was outed as a pedophile[2].

The authorities _eventually_ backed off after the media picked it up and there was general outrage. But it's insane that that's what needed to get people in these systems to stop clearly inappropriate behavior. The fact that the whole system is happy to go along with injustices unless there's a massive public outcry shows how broken things have become.

Please read the article before responding. The article says, quite clearly, that CPS dropped the case within weeks and that Texas family law was updated, so CPS cannot even bring cases like this against parents.

The problem is that Texas's criminal law was not updated, and the cops/prosecutors made the parent pick between a crime that had a 2-year minimum prison term OR taking a plea for 64 hours of community service (and other things, like writing an apology letter, etc).

This wasn't a CPS problem. It was a cop abusing their authority and a prosecutor who didn't drop the charges. Plus a hugely abusive plea system in US criminal cases (which is a whole huge discussion in its own right).

This is not necessarily true. PMs are incentivized to use product as a means to grow the business. This usually does manifest itself as delivering product features - but it can manifest itself in other ways. Ultimately product managers are tasked with discovering how to grow the product areas they are owning. Great product managers will work closely with users to understand their needs to refine & grow the product. Examples of ways PMs can accomplish things like this without necessarily delivering new product features: better user onboarding, in-app product tours & engagement, etc.

If a PM is just delivering features without tying it back to user needs, business growth & product strategy then they are just a "feature factory" which is bad product management.
