And the thing is, if you're increasing the hours I need to work by 1.5 or 2x -- then you better increase my pay. Otherwise, saying you're reducing bloat seems like a lie. If you're reducing bloat then I expect my hours to stay flat -- or heck maybe even go down by reducing internal comms. I'd expect more vacation time and shorter hours!
How to Run Stable Diffusion on Raspberry Pi 4
Found a way how to run Stable Diffusion on a Raspberry Pi 4
I agree, but that tells me you are much more detail oriented than many developers I've worked with. Most devs at the 70-100k a year range are phoning it in 9-5 and only check exactly the boxes a PM and QA person make them check. I very rarely see developers who are in the standard deviation below median make that kind of check. These are good productive developers who get lots of tickets done.
> Growing a garden on someone else’s land is dumb and I think more people are starting to get it

I've seen a lot of people talking about the need for a nationalized version of something like twitter as a result of seeing how much damage one person with money can do. That would make it more like a community garden where people are doing it on their own land, but communally owned and in the same location as other people to take advantage of all the benefits that make it successful in the first place. Small decentralized communities are nice, but never really went away and fulfill a different need - there's plenty of small forums or discord channels for programming questions, but I still prefer to use stackoverflow when it's an option.
I think there are a lot of people that would. Are they the people that twitter actually needs? I’m not sure. But there are people that would. Some of them are in this thread.
You said:

> If you look at the demographics of top 40 listeners today compared to forty years ago, the popularity of the hits are more narrowly confined to teens and young adults

So how do I look at these demographics and confirm this claim?
Independent objective press is important. Even press which is honest about its bias is important.

The miserable excuse for "press" which the corporate media is is important only in the sense that they are one of the main drivers behind the polarisation in society. Most of the big corporate press outlets - cable, broadcast and their internet arms - are not much more than thinly veiled propaganda outlets for the Democrats or Republicans - pity the poor soul who gets his view on the state of the world from one of these merchants of outrage.

Blue-check "journalists" who work for these outlets tend to produce narrative instead of news, aiming to stoke the fervour of their intended targets. Instead of a blue check it would be good to mark them with a red flag, 'warning: exposure has been shown to lead to distorted views of reality'.

Which particular part of this process is unhealthy, though? And how unhealthy is it?

If the problem is the food coloring, then we need to go out and say so. If the problem is the high fat content, we shouldn't pretend that home cooking with lots of oils (which oils?) isn't any healthier than processed food. Is the spoon of sugar I add to my home-made stir-fry sauce the problem, or is it the fact that I am frying it, or the fact that I serve it next to a plate full of rice?

Is there anyone who thinks we shouldn't use the entire animal if we do kill it? As I understood it, most of the backlash against "pink slime" (lean finely textured beef)* came from the misconception that it was artificial or low quality. In reality, it's just had all the fat removed and been ground particularly fine.

*mechanically separated meat is something different, composed primarily of non-meat carcass material. Mechanically separated beef is not allowed for human consumption due to the risk of made cow disease. Mechanically separated pork is still part of hot dogs and similar meat products.

Honestly, I've never missed the shared mutable environment approach one bit. It might have been marginally faster, but I'd trade a whole bunch of performance for consistency (and the optimizations mean there's not much of a performance difference). Moreover, most of the time spent in CI is not container/VM overhead, but rather crappy Docker images, slow toolchains, slow tests, etc.
people eat unhealthily because they are lazy and fat/sugar are addictive.

In season fruits and vegetables are inexpensive. You can easily find vegetables that are under $2/pound. Eating half a pound of vegetables a day (most people dont) is a dollar a day.

carrots are typically $1/pound, green peppers $2/pound, cabbage .67/pound, peas .35/pound, green beans $2/pound, broccoli 2/pound

beef is expensive, but chicken and sometimes pork are less expensive.

This is less of a tech layoff story and more of an overlevered business with crashing asset values against very difficult short term liabilities and no ability to refinance in a rising interest rate market. The real question for normal people is if Carvana sells off a huge chunk of its inventory at fire-sale prices, does that accelerate the crash in used car prices? Is March of 2023 the right time to pick up that fun sports car since it'll be super affordable?

Absolutely, and by design. The only automated trigger we’re seriously considering is the social security master death records; if your SSN is there, means you passed away.

Ask HN: Long standing bugs as part of documentation
You know the situation. You've inherited an old code base recently and trying to install all the legacy stuff, you run into some inconsistencies. The documentation clearly explains how to set things up. You do this and do that and Bob's your uncle. You follow the steps and everything seems to work... to a point. There's some strange behavior that makes you wonder if you skipped a step. Nothing major, just some small annoyance that you could hack around, but the documentation does not mention it, so you feel uneasy about it. To give some concrete examples, a library failing to connect to the URL you've specified in the config file, even though the documentation clearly says it should be able to; or a daemon properly producing log files, but somehow owned by a user other than the one you specified to switch to, as directed by the documentation.

Thus begins some potentially long rabbit hole, which ultimately ends with you emerging at the (still open and very popular) ten year old tickets reporting the (mis)behavior. In the first case for example, it's revealed that the library can't connect to HTTPS. And now that you pay closer attention to the documentation, you realize that it, too, seems to pretend it's an HTTP world! In the second case, the ticket reports that for everything else, the functionality works as expected, but due to some obscure design choice, the logs are produced as root. In both situations, the problem is well known. The longevity of the tickets implies that a solution is not going to be simple. Yet, the documentation acts oblivious.

I think that well known long standing issues should be included in the documentation. I understand that no one is proud to advertise their shortcomings, but a ten year old bug is not a bug anymore, it's a feature, albeit a surprising or inconvenient one. Keeping silent about it is tacitly misleading your users.
It would certainly be easier than fixing all of the software
I think there's actually some risk of too much time at Elon twitter making your resume toxic. It's no secret what kind of environment he's fostering there, and many companies simply don't want to hire the type of person who thrives in that situation, regardless of how technically skilled they are.
Wouldn't floating white spheres make more sense ? If the goal is to avoid overly warm mater.
Yeah, it could change the narrative for Twitter. Will need more than Hotz for that, but he's one of the best possible starts to it.
The bots be crazy, y'know?

But in all honesty, I have noticed among fellow colleagues that this is the case. Even outside of the country, you can tell that people are afraid to speak about politics.

I would be too.
If you can find official and unofficial references, it would be helpful to allow the article to be updated.
Elon said "At its heart, Twitter is a software and servers company, so I think this makes sense."

But Twitter is not a software and servers company -- it's a media company. It has more in common with Hulu than Microsoft. The ability to post 240 chars of content is not a business. The users aren't the customers. As you say, the Twitter platform is not ground breaking tech -- that was never where the value was.

> Teams dedicated to curating content like twitter headlines and moderating content don't need to be there

This is where I think you and Elon are wrong. The "content" is the product and the advertisers are the customers. The assumption is that that these teams are not helping bring in advertisers but you and I don't know that. Elon didn't even care to find out because he fundamentally misunderstands the business he's in.
What would you be willing to do to your enemies if you knew that you wouldn't be held accountable for it, for example, because you've received a terminal cancer diagnosis.

> counting bytes or boasting numbers in popular science articles

Why are these not serious usages? They are concepts that need to be communicated, that's what words are for.
The article says that the "internal mechanism" is basically a help form
I am not sure what is more laughable, the contention that in the past,

"science [was] filled with the right people with the right motivations in the right subculture"

or that the problem is the admission of minorities (who, by the way are monolithic in their feelings):

"We rush to hire some people of color, and when they find themselves small minorities, they Feel Unwelcome, so we must begin Uncomfortable Conversations about the unholiness of the demographics of our discipline’s heroes. Because who makes it into this elite group, and who gets funded in this group, is so important to society at large, we must start using Best Practices, meaning bureaucracy and paperwork. And, of course, Assessment and Surveys."

Seems like a bunch of thinly veiled racism to me.
What would a good whitepaper look like, when the underlying product is a scam?
This is how I got my start, around the same age too! I learned PHP next because it was very intuitive to me how it worked with HTML. It also has, for better or worse, a ton of functions in the global scope so I didn’t have to worry about packages or imports.

From there, quite a time later, I made the jump to Laravel, databases, and other languages.
Unsurprisingly the kernel's Box does not have Box::new it provides instead Box::try_new which is fallible.

Yes, we know it doesn't make sense to be stressed about it, and yet we still are stressed. Saying that we shouldn't be is not constructive IMO.
Can anyone explain what the alternative is? Surely we won’t just get more and more out of synch with the earths orbit?

Also why does it say the earth is slowing down but this year it sped up. Sounds quite impossible?
While true, engineers ae SpaceX are much much harder to replace that web devs/engineers at Twitter, which are a dime a dozen. With so many in the Valley cutting jobs, if Twitter needs to hire new engineers, I don't think they'll have issues finding them.
TAI - atomic clock, ignores earth rotation.

UT1 - based on Earth's rotation only, strictly 86400 seconds per day; length of each second varies; takes a heck of a lot of effort (and time) to measure accurately.

UTC - has same length of a second as TAI, but (for now) tracks UT1 to a precision of +/- 1 second. To achieve that, can have days that are 86399, or 86400, or 86401 seconds long.

None of 3 is planned for scrapping. The only change discussed in TFA is to fix UTC day to 86400 seconds (at cost of letting it drift further away from UT1).
Current SSL cert is valid through 23:59 on Monday, December 12. If there's a big binary even to bet on causing quick failure, this would seem to be it - just inside the testing window. Now... if twitter can't report the outage because twitter is out, does Yes or No pay out?

I propose waiting a thousand years, so that the difference builds up to an hour, and then handle the adjustment as part of the daylight savings reform, which should just about have worked its way through the U.S. Congress and the EU institutions by then.
Self-hosted runners are brilliant, but have a poor security model for running containers or building them within a job. Whilst we're focusing on GitHub Actions at the moment, the same problems exist for GitLab CI, Drone, Bitbucket and Azure DevOps. We explain why in the FAQ (link in the post).

What are you talking about? Twitter’s resiliency program is widely known to be one of the best in the world. They’ve been around so long that they’ve literally had to invent a lot of what we consider basic modern distributed computing from scratch. It will become a trash fire with everyone who maintained these massive systems gone, but don’t imply that they created bad systems, or failed at ‘just displaying text’, because they clearly haven’t.

It depends on how you view the product. The raw engineering of building a rocket is certainly a lot harder than running a "CRUD" app...but it's also pretty reductive to call Twitter that.

Twitter is a huge social network with a huge advertising network intertwined. The problems and challenges with that are very real, very difficult, and they are social problems rather than engineering problems. It seems like Elon overestimated how much his knowledge of building cars and rockets would transfer over to social networks.
Oh right, I confused the terminology, but the point still stands mostly.
I think they have an excellent chance of being the last one standing. Unless we learn that they have also been operating a scam. If all they do is run a reliable exchange and don't get hacked, as other exchanges fall they'll probably get more business.

But I think if public interest wanes, and crypto sort of becomes this amway for nerds thing, then they'll probably flounder unless they prune back their costs significantly.
CICO is true at the highest level but not in general. The effect 200g of protein has on your body vs. 200g of carbohydrate (in particular insulin, ghrelin, etc) means not all calories are created equal.

Energy-wise, yes, but the devil is in the details. If I had to infer the meaning here it's that high protein = constipation = not good. Vegetable calories include fiber which is important to insure you're processing things efficiently. Additionally, good vegetables (unfortunately not the ones you can get at the store usually) contain lots of great vitamins and minerals. I would be curious if they mean a typical American chain store vegetable which demonstrably has almost no nutrition compared to it's natural counterpart.
The world cup is in two days -- how will Twitter cope with the largest amount of traffic it sees all year? Why fire the majority of employees right before this major event?

In case people are looking for a new social media platform during the Twitter fiasco. It's been around for a while, and first made its appearance on Hacker News about 9 years ago under its old name, Sublevel.
Mmmh everyone that I follow or Twitter thinks I should read. I follow Musk on Twitter and I don't see any of his shitposting, or I don't see many celebs or journalists tweets either.
Am I not one of the everyones?
I think the crux of the situation is that Tesla and Twitter are completely different companies. And Elon seems to be going for Twitter based on his learnings at Tesla. Manufacturing a car at scale that requires well defined components, supply chain management and production is so very different from Twitter which is a global platform where anyone can add anything.
What are you talking about? Iran's revolution is in part unfolding because of Twitter and Saudi Arabia wants nothing more than for that regime to fall.
1. Wikipedia is supposed to be objective truth. Right wing and left wing views are opinions on how the world should be, so neither belong on Wikipedia.

2. What right wing views are censored on social media? Superiority of capitalism over other economic systems? Less taxes leading to better prosperity? Reduced government regulation lets innovation flourish? Welfare programs are a waste of money? I see these views get debated and their pros and cons pointed out, not censored.
Im starting to think he’s enjoying this.
Dr Grandin is autistic. That jarring sense is you being normal. Normal people who feel empathy for something have a hard time killing it.

This plays out in ugly ways in that business -- they either hire psychos who enjoy being cruel _because_ then know that the animals suffer, or the people doing the work convince themselves that the animals are too "dumb" to understand what's happening, and are incapable of suffering. Grandin complains that workers often undo her changes after the fact (e.g. removing a piece of metal that blocks a view of the killing bolt) because they don't understand that the changes aren't to make _their_ jobs easier, and the workers are either constitutionally incapable of understanding how those changes serve the cows, or that the cows deserve any consideration at all.

Any fisherman will tell you that fish can't suffer.
Vegan for nearly 7 years here. Got all my blood work back a couple months ago and I couldn't be healthier! I don't even know much about nutrition tbh. I eat a variety of things, make sure I get B12, and just try to eat green things at every meal. My body is healthy, my conscience is at ease, and I've never enjoyed food more.
This is very clear and helpful. Thank you.

Discoverability, basically. You can get a lot of incredibly good information from Twitter with a very carefully curated follow list. You can get that from Mastodon as well, but you're going to have a much harder time finding the same people in a fully decentralized world. I think I'd rather that existence, which I'm noticing as I wind up in more niche Facebook groups and Discord servers than on broader platforms like Instagram or Twitter, but it's not zero value per se.
Feels like Elon has gotten a bizarre conspiracy into his head where there are phantom employees on the payroll or something...
Exactly, they would need a immutable, distributed ledger to accounts for their client immutable centralized and vaporized ledgers.
