> Birdwatch assesses “different perspectives” entirely based on how people have rated notes in the past; Birdwatch does not ask about or use any other information to do this (e.g. demographics like location, gender, or political affiliation, or data from Twitter such as follows or Tweets). This is based on the intuition that Contributors who tend to rate the same notes similarly are likely to have more similar perspectives while contributors who rate notes differently are likely to have different perspectives. If people who typically disagree in their ratings agree that a given note is helpful, it’s probably a good indicator the note is helpful to people from different points of view.

Paying recurring for an app should make this problem non-existent. If $5/mo or whatever doesn't allow you to deliver a stable, performant product, then you need to reconsider your pricing or your business model. Evernote isn't a startup and they should have this figured out by now. And do not do a release that amounts to "look at this whizzy, non-core feature we've been working hard to add (see: chat) which means we didn't get around to fixing all the boring issues with the core product you're paying for"; that's just insulting. The only thing I imagine worse, if I'm already paying you money for the product, is for you come to me with "Oh...you want it to work? Fix the bugs and the performance? That'll be a $50 'investment'.". That guarantees I'm going to look elsewhere real fast, because fixing bugs and improving performance isn't a one-time thing and you'll be back to extract more from me at some random time in the future where your business decisions don't cover the next shortfall.

OSS projects are also prone to leadership issues and tend to have "good ol boys" clubs. It's utlimately human nature, OSS or not. See Linus Torvals or some of the things that went on in Rust community. Also, StackOverflow mods that volunteer their free time have so many issues. Wikipedia editors and Reddit moderators. Same.

Putting a OSS lipstick isn't doing any favors to understanding the human nature and how to create a good governance model to keep people happy. I suspect this is never going to be "solved", only solved in one person's views or ideological bias.
You could always move somewhere energy generation isn't so dirty especially as its probably also effecting your air quality not to speak of the employment options.

> SQL is not functional

I agree that you are technically correct. It is simply declarative in nature. I've got a habit of conflating these terms. Functions aren't first-class citizens in SQL. We also have some UDFs that are impure (because the real world unfortunately exists).

I'd be perfectly happy to rename this a "Declarative-Relational" programming model if that sits better with everyone.
Oh I meant something like equality of condition.
Open source code should be considered protected speech. The fact that it’s not should scare the daylights out of any OSS contributor.

Also, privacy should be a human right.

If you disagree with the above, you might be a fascist.
Those things are not built for the express purpose of killing people. There is no manual button on the outside of the xray marked "kill patient" that's at risk of being automated away. No "aim for pedestrians" button in the Tesla that a developer will choose to finish implementing in code.

Like, yes, this is a thing that could happen, and has, we call them bugs. But the companies building those products aren't in the business of making that outcome occur. These developers and companies are in the business of helping make people die and I'd bet significant sums this is already tracked in a backlog issue or behind a //.

It is somewhat insane to me that ARM is continuing down this path.

I feel like they're going to only encourage the market to abandon their ISA and pick up RISC-V or openPOWER. Of course, I could be entirely incorrect.
I think the element missing here is that these "safety plans" tend to be "voluntary."

It's the CPS equivalent of "let me in your house or else I'll get a search warrant and things will go worse for you." If they had the evidence to get in the house, they wouldn't be standing there asking you, the police would be there with battering rams busting in.

It's a bluff. If there is actually evidence they need to remove the child they will go get the order from the judge and execute it. And if that evidence exists, in no way would anyone in their right mind let you keep the kid by signing a "safety plan" to pretty please keep grandma and grandma around, who are not in any way credentialled/vetted to host supervised visitation.
Your example does not sound as outrageous as you seem to think - I can imagine a number of scenarios where this would be totally acceptable solution assuming we’re talking about software engineers here. Consider the fact that most startups don’t even have dedicated teams running CI unlike at fangs and it’s up to devs to set everything up. Yet I don’t really hear about folks complaining about internal tooling at early startups
Encrypted messaging also helps terrorists, child sex abusers, arms dealers, and all manner of crime. It would be 100% safer if all messages were funneled through government servers for scanning.

However, as a society a choice we made was to enable individuals to message secretly with each other over encrypted communications, even if there are significant and documented harms to society.

Tornado Cash did not rob from 1 million retail customers, while FTX did. I think your argument is far too simple.
Shaming tactics are orthogonal to defense, especially when the only way this succeeds is when nobody thinks the CEO is paranoid enough to try it. If anyone is leaking private memos from an Elon company now, it is trivial to disrupt this by reformatting the document and rephrasing sentences.
The electrolysis boom that is being talked about now is mainly about replacing fossil-fuel derived hydrogen with green hydrogen for industrial processes, not about using hydrogen to store energy or replace fuels other than special cases such as very high temperature flames.
5-10 years ago I would have said yes to either SpaceX or Tesla, if my skills were aligned with what they were working on. I was younger, and the chance to change the world would have justified the lower pay.

But working at Twitter isn’t a chance to change the world. It’s a chance to do the same stuff I’ve done I’ve done a million times before, but with worse pay, worse culture, and an asshole CEO.

I read HN mostly via email newsletter and I'm interested in like 5% of the content, if I read one or two articles from newsletter it's good. The same as with other newsletters I'm subscribe for. Each social network has different content post by different people. If you merge all those places into one thing you can't keep up with the flood of post.

I've once was subscribed to a few subreddits via RSS and I was not able to read even headlines and they were accumulation over time.

I was also trying HN100 RSS (post that reach 100 points on HN), and most of the stuff was not interesting to me. So even reading headlines was a waste of time. Not to mention that I was not able to keep on reading the headlines to have 0 RSS inbox.

What I would like to see only post that I would really like, and I believe that you can train SMAP filter to do that.

And about SMAP filtering I don't want to filter SPAM as in an email SPAM only stuff I'm not interested in and I see a lot of post on first page on HN that I'm not interested in.

I would like stories recommendation based on my interested not common interest on every HN reader. Most HN readers are not average HN reader.
When I worked for a BigTechCo, I was doing exercism every single morning for ~30 minutes for the same reason. It really is incredible. I know a few of my former colleagues were doing the same. Today I'm on a team with 4 other engineers, so I keep busy coding.
I own an EV since too little BUT I've already have:

- failed to start once, "High Voltage battery disconnected" error. Detached the 12V battery, reattached it, works again. As ALL modern crapware no logs, no clue of whats going on are available to the formal but not substantial owner...

- still wait for the vendor to DISCONNECT some of it's workers phones so I can bound MY car to MY phone, to surveil charge, activate AC/heating from remote etc instead of someone else I do not know. Of course since all works through the OEM server the OEM can do anything on "my" EV...

I'm very satisfied in terms of driving comfort, very dissatisfied in terms of range, even if it's sufficient in general terms, BUT I call for a collective action: we MUST IMPOSE all OEM to use ONLY FLOSS software AND ONLY personal/authority access to vehicles. It's damn crazy to allow private entity controls of fleets of private vehicles behind their formal owner.

It's not just a risk for the owner h{im,er}self BUT also for a country who can potentially suffer traffic paralysis or multiple accidents on it's territory caused by a single private entity who in reality own all vehicles it have sold formally.

No blackboxes MUST be allowed on sale. Those who try to sell them must be sanctioned so badly no one would even try doing so again.
DSP and Quaternion operations in the core ASIC would greatly simplify a lot of code (as would pipeline media codecs).

The problem with such instructions has always been how to get compilers to leverage such feature automatically (see 30 years of GPU kludges). Perhaps some sort of standardized static library template could create/emulate a set of abstractions for the special opcodes within regular compiler contexts (i.e. still cross platform compatible like OpenCL, and hides the ugly inline assembly during binary optimization).

"RISC-V actually has a better story here", Time will tell, but we have all seen a lot of "better" cores disappear over the years. ;)
The "steep learning curve" entry is bizarre. Is it so difficult to envision that it's a straightforward analogue to real life? Climbing a steep mountain (that is, a steep slope or curve), if you manage (since a difficult traverse is going to turn away a lot of people, just like a steep learning curve), you are going to end up with a good view (or understanding of the field). It was never about a X=time, Y=distance mathematical curve.

With this setup I wonder why even have the motor on the ship? It's using an extension cord to get power to the ship so it can pull on the wire guides, but you might as well just have put the engine pulling the wire on the shore and have a "dumb" platform in place of the boat.

Agreed, and I am a fan of your user name.
I don't see anything wrong with the term "dopamine hit". It's the main neurotransmitter involved in the brain's reward system. Rewarding stimulus is exactly what is meant by popular use of the term.

I really don't understand attempts to problematize the use of this term. Sure, there are other neurotransmitters involved and dopamine is also present in other systems and even in the rest of the body. Nobody denies that.
If I was in Hollywood I'd call Tom Scott and give him whatever he needs to make whatever he wants. Imagine something like a long form road trip documentary, stopping in at interesting places and doing interesting things but with the pull and budget of a studio behind him.
This terminal could be good for people learning a new commandline tool. Can fish shell show inline the documentation for the command flags during completion?

Tools with better DX (developer experience) are a market that's been tapped into heavily in the past few years, personally I'm not surprised there's a pricing page. Would I pay for something like this? Probably never; I don't feel like I need to optimize my terminal workflow even if I have to reach for the manpage of a command from time to time.

Good question.

My answer is that in those two countries, bribing legislators is illegal, while enforcement is poor.

In the US, it's all been made legal, so happens on a massive scale right out in the open.

In India a small businessman gets annoyed that he has to pay a $20 bribe to have an operating license issued, but it works. In the US there is no bribe he can pay to make his business work because the multinational billion dollar corporation with offices on Wall Street, D.C, and every other major city has paid off the legislators and had them introduce laws that introduce a barrier to entry that no small business could ever scale.

Twitter has laid off, fired, and will likely continue to bleed out some of the finest minds working on highly resilient, performant, and distributed technologies. Product design was absolutely hollowed out by the first round of layoffs, and Musk has said that product design will take a backseat to engineering (albeit without engineers!), indicating that he thinks Twitter is a technical, not a product, problem (which neatly explains a number of the missteps of the past few weeks). In short, there are very few "serious engineers and designers" left inside Twitter, and it'll be a long and arduous process to find people with the appropriate skills and experience to replace them, especially now that it's clear that one's employment at Twitter is solely at the whim of a notably capricious owner.

Beyond that, demanding engineers engage in death-march efforts for a social media app is very, very different than doing it for electric cars or rockets, which are linear technical challenges with defined delivery endpoints; when does the death march for NuTwitter (or "X," or whatever) end? What's the vision? What's the goal? How does this improve the world, as opposed to protecting Musk's pledged Tesla shares? No answer to any of that.

Quite frankly, it's a testament to the work Twitter engineers have done to date that the platform hasn't already fallen over, though it's showing signs of creaking under stress. If Musk faces a mass exodus at the end of this week, then it may not survive the World Cup.

The limiting capacity of an extension cord is the resistance it can carry - at high resistance the cord will basically catch on fire. High voltage can deliver much more power at lower resistance as compared to low voltage. The easy example is household power -- in the US, standard household electricity is 120v, so a common 14 gauge wire that can carry 12A at constant load would be able to deliver 1400 watts. If you use 240v, that same wire can deliver 2800 watts.

To extend that to extension cords -- if your boat/tool or whatever needs 5kw of power, at household voltage of 120v, you'd need a #4 wire which weighs 1.3 lbs/10 ft. At 240V, you'd need a #10 wire which weighs 0.3 lbs/10 ft. At 360v, only a #14 wire which weighs 0.13 lbs/10 ft.

So by tripling the voltage, you can cut down the weight of the cable by roughly 10x.

> and that's bad for the actual altruistic causes because

Because if all the numbers are made up, you don’t actually know what is an “altruistic” choice. You can say, gamble with other peoples money, and justify it by donating 10% of the returns to charity. And if the math works out in your head, it’s all good.

> Yes there are such people. I don't think they would be less greedy and exploitative if they didn't have a way to feel better about it.

Lol, we’re arguing about a moral philosophy here, and your argument is that anything bad that people do, keeping in line with the philosophy is irrelevant?

It’s also not that “there are such people”. I’m saying that EA will disproportionately attract the greedy because fundamentally it argues that you can buy your way into altruism. It’s the Catholic Church selling indulgences for the 21st century.
I noticed that the other day.

> - SBF goes on twitter to make new one-letter tweets while simultaneously deleting incriminating tweets so as to not trigger deletion bots picking up that he deleted said tweets.

This part seems to have been mostly speculation. He deleted 118 tweets & retweets, so his one letter tweets did little to cover his tracks[1]. I have no idea why he did the one-letter thing. Maybe to get attention?

SBF, his foundation and his family are well connected politically. NYT already did a bizarro puff piece on him, now Vox does this (which apparently directly received FTX foundation money).

It’s absurd as he is essentially a well connected criminal.

edit I do want to correct one thing - this is not a puff piece like the NYT one, actually it implicates him.

I think I'm confused about whether you're rejecting the proposition about the investor all on its own, or if it's the broader argument from the Aaronson post that you're rejecting. Your parenthetical makes me think we're not talking about the charitable-investor-propsition anymore; we're now talking about a specific investor who did something that appears to have been very risky and possibly very unethical.

My interpretation of Aaronson is that he thinks the hypothetical charitable investor is a good example of a very moral person, and we can use that example to imagine how we might have felt about SBF in an alternate universe where his bets paid off. But Aaronson also concludes:

> At any rate, I’d try to impress on him, as I do on anyone reading now, that the choice between linear and concave utilities, between risk-neutrality and risk-aversion, is not bloodless or technical—that it’s essential to make a choice that’s not only in reflective equilibrium with your highest values, but that you’ll still consider to be such regardless of which possible universe you end up in.

This isn't a post lionizing SBF. He is compared to but also contrasted with the "charitable traditional investor". The contrast is the degree of risk which, as you say, could be considered fraud. I don't come away from this thinking that Aaronson believes that SBF in particular is "way ahead of most of us morally".
That woman is dumb. Authorities are indeed incompetent to pursue this further, but those two are unrelated. If either of those were not true, dumb thing would not have happened — as humans, we are all in this together, and it's all of our responsibility to do better. That neighbour included.

If she was worried about a child, she should have accompanied them home.

Next time, she'll send police over when a kid can't watch more TV (or go to a party, or eat more sweets, or...) and ends up crying her guts out: hey, she's worried about children's welfare. I would be having police at my door almost every other day with a neighbour like that.
Thanks—I appreciate the kind words. I think there are two things going on here.

First, I'm sure you're right that far worse crap goes unchallenged. But that's not because it's ok (it's not), nor because moderators are choosing to go easier on them (we're not). Rather, it's for the same reason that only a small portion of speeding drivers actually gets pulled over and ticketed: there are way too many to catch them all. In other words, when you see a post that ought to have been moderated but hasn't been, the likeliest explanation is that we simply didn't see it—there are far too many posts for us to read them all. You can help by flagging such cases or emailing us at hn@ycombinator.com.

Second, I believe you that you're posting in good faith and with good intentions. Unfortunately, intent isn't enough—it doesn't communicate itself on the internet, especially not in these tiny little blobs of comment text. You have to include enough information to disambiguate your intent (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...).

It's common for commenters to assume that their posts will land with readers in a way that is consistent with the intent they have in mind. Unfortunately, they often don't—because while you have your intent in your head, the rest of us don't (I don't mean "you" personally, of course—it's the same for everybody). This is what leads to the 'rebound' phenomenon where someone posts a snarky one-liner or otherwise breaks the site guidelines, and then when a moderator asks them not to, they reply with the thoughtful, substantive comment they actually had in their head*. The problem is that all that good information doesn't communicate itself. You have to spell it out explicitly.
