I think perhaps this (learngenomics.dev) resource is a little too shallow on some levels, but has interesting depth in odd places. I think there is a need to get users up to speed with things like the SAM format, which is very fundamental to 99% "dna sequencing" projects, but it's an odd format in some ways because it's quite low level, so trying to get people to understand how the basics of biology interact with it is worthwhile. I did my own attempt in this sometimes-updated blog post https://cmdcolin.github.io/posts/2022-02-06-sv-sam
I don’t understand how that’s related…aren’t you just describing NAT, but worse?
> I'd rather solve an actual problem

Isn't all these components a solution to some actual problem, but just not your problem.

Could you give an example of the type of actual problem you are thinking about? Then we could discuss why there is no component that solves it already?
He went through multiple police investigations to clear his name of criminal wrongdoing, which has much higher stakes.

If he sues he's likely getting a pittance from whatever the court values his Google account to be worth. In reality this is never going to be a multi-million dollar award.

And I don't know what it is that you imagine he's done wrong which isn't criminal but which would allow Google to defend themselves. If it is anything I think it is more likely that he got legal advice that based on Google's TOS and the things that he agreed to (like we all do every time a legal notice pops up) that his chances of recovering any damages at all were a crapshoot.
Posting it to HN is probaby reporting it to Google, in a manner.

Do you have MFA enabled?

I used to have issues with folks who'd obtain passwords to MFAless accounts and fuck around, but it's been a while since someone did... that.
if they use hire fast - fire fast approach they actually don't need a good pre-filter (recruiter). Amazon IT is more like warehouse, so this is their way of doing it. Good pay is the main motivation factor. I was approached by recruiter and money was his main argument. He didn't know his own fate back then...
PS: Facebook had the best recruiting process. They invested a lot of personal time in it.
For me, it's still fun regardless, and removes a lot of friction for knowing where to get games: from my own legit copies of said games! (for as frequently as sites/archives go down that host pirated copies... it's honestly worthwhile doing it myself)

I've dumped all my NES cartridges and even though they match with existing No-Intro entries, it's still fun and gives peace of mind enough that I'm not unknowingly holding onto a rare revision.

Like Hemingway in post-WW1 Paris or Hunter S Thompson et al in 1960s Haight Ashbury, one part of it is the city/neighbourhoods, one part culture, and the biggest thing is the people who create the culture and local businesses that make the neighbourhoods interesting.

If you hang out with interesting people (or in modern times share their information networks) then you'll find these cultural hot spots.

It's worth it for major cities to invest in fostering this sort of thing but often it happens naturally as a side effect of circumstance (post war Paris was cheap and booming with fun bars/cafes and plenty of artists, SF/Berkley was in the center of the free-love movement, Tokyo was in the Japanese capitalist tech+cultural boom/etc).

That being said, almost every major city has interesting people, you just have to find them. Some cities have much more than others. Some aren't even cities but unique towns/small communities. And some cities are riddled with poor planning or active policies that are anti-fun/creative/risk taking and scare away interesting people.
I disagree with the “better experience” overall. The massive advantage of the Switch is its convenience and form factor. I have a bunch of games that I could play with much better graphics on the versions bought from Steam that I also own, and I still vastly prefer to do so on the Switch.
Gaming PCs can be much more powerful than dedicated consoles these days. For example, Zelda BOTW on Switch is limited to at most 1600x900, but folks running it on their own machines with Cemu can run it at 4k. Some folks also like to try out custom shaders, mods, texture packs, etc. Example: Mario Kart 8 in 4k / raytraced - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OIGpt26ocWU
How many? Like 1 percent of people?

You're asking me for stats about a statistically non-existent problem you made up. How many article get changed after they get posted and this isn't brought up in the comments?

Also, sometimes articles get changed because authors respond to HN feedback. Interaction between authors and the community is one of the valuable things about the forum. There's no added value to discussing some frozen snapshot of a web page - its a web forum for talking about web links rather than some revision control system.

What type of information?

The domain, for one thing.
Yes, creating art itself will have a lower barrier to entry, just like learning to code in Python has a lower barrier to entry than Assembly. But any software engineer will tell you that most of the challenges don’t come from writing lines of code, they come from building things that can scale at scales. Building a big thing in a big organization means having good communication and project management systems. Those things haven’t been taken over by AI (yet).
Dorsey's Twitter claimed to be pro free speech and fair, and yet apparently it was fine for Twitter to ban only one side then.

As per usual, the true story is "it's good when my guy does it and unfair and evil when the other side does it to me"
And the owners did fail. Chrysler was transferred to Fiat in bankruptcy, and GM shareholders were wiped out
No worries. I never got that impression either. Your interpretation and argument is reasonable. As you noted, my concerns hover around compelled speech/silence ( and issues surrounding it ). At this time, I think I accept your argument as presented.
Sorry, poor wording on my part.

NTFS has alternate data streams, does not have versions.

VMS file system,maybe I should have written FILES-11, had versioned files, but not alternate data streams. It also had file "types" that were data organization types: fixed length records, counted string text files, etc etc. NTFS does not have those either.

"Inspired by Tailscale"

So, before Tailscale there wasn't a solution. Now we have one, but it's yet another tool we have to manually manage.
Thanks. HN definitely needs more anti-astroturf action.
> but he didn’t tell them that ahead of time

He actually did disclose this [1], at least to the art fair administration:

> Olga Robak, a spokeswoman for the Colorado Department of Agriculture, which oversees the state fair, said Mr. Allen had adequately disclosed Midjourney’s involvement when submitting his piece; the category’s rules allow any “artistic practice that uses digital technology as part of the creative or presentation process.” The two category judges did not know that Midjourney was an A.I. program, she said, but both subsequently told her that they would have awarded Mr. Allen the top prize even if they had.

> If macOS wanted to provide namespaces they could have done so, to get the native container experience and a truly open source operating system just use Linux.

I am not too sure why this needed to turn into a dig on MacOS. I think a tool like Finch, Lima, Docker, etc. that further helps Linux be highly portable as a container environment highlights the strength of Linux as a portable runtime on every platform.

To flip it around, one could lament how Linux lacks a unified desktop experience compared to MacOS, which makes it even more difficult to use desktop Linux in the enterprise in contrast to Windows and MacOS.

Why not celebrate that containerized Linux will be even more accessible to another platform instead of turning this into a dig at another -- more widely used -- desktop OS in the enterprise? Some people/environments just can't or have not yet made the investment into desktop Linux.

What’s the point of Breath of the Wild at 4k?!
I think that the people in the middle don’t stand out. I’m in a group of writers. None of us are jerks about “trigger warnings”. We just put some obvious content warnings (rape, suicide, etc) before the main text and call it a day.

You’ll never be able to put in every trigger. For example, angry drunk people. I’d never expect anyone to warn me about that in any form of media. (Goodfellas is awesome, btw)

There is a reasonable middle ground here. A short list of the most common issues better than nothing while not being onerous. Is mentioning your story includes a graphic depiction of rape difficult? I had a rather frank discussion with a fellow author who gave me that one without warning me.

Obviously the most vocal will never be happy. They can go hug a cactus.
You just elucidated that viewpoint on HN.
I’m nowhere near as accomplished as skurka, but I have some back country experience and I agree with him completely.

I agree, this is an underrated option and I'm not sure why it doesn't get more attention. I've been using stable diffusion on a cloud machine, and, say $20 will get you very far - probably thousands of images generated and a few sessions of fine tuning. It's way more affordable that its apparent popularity would suggest
Happy Thanksgiving HN.

At release, they mostly were. As soon as G3 was released it screamed. But then Intel kept bumping MHz every 6 months or so. Same with the G5, but that margin lasted even less. The G4 was just a sad period in the PPC line up on desktops. They made for good laptops though.
>And even if everything is secure right now, you cannot guarantee this stays the case in the future. By using the "tailscale ecosystem" you are locking yourself into a provider that can change the ecosystem (clients, services, servers) or put things behind a paywalls anytime.

I can't (and refuse) to live my lie by "what ifs." If they do any of those things, it's easy enough to pivot to the 3 or 4 other providers our there, like ZeroTier, who offer the same thing.

My hope is if they do, the FOSS community will have gotten their act together and built a capable replacement, which is usually the case.
The fact everyone sees through it, but he says it like he means it, is the truly sad part. Imagine if he also believes he's scaring Apple with this tweet.

You are overwhelmed by crisis, sort of future or crisis shock. But some event which may not even be crisis affect many and with hindsight actually is the crisis.

How about letting china into wto and beginning by kicking out Taiwan from UN (or they gave up). The whole series of event of key china out and not balance with in will be one of the major disaster of humanity … but is it? That is the big question. I think it is. But without hindsight you do not know. Hence we have to work on. But ignoring key event (and just crisis) will doom humanity. After all, most species died why not human.
> yet multi-billon dollar studios claim supporting anything beyond x86_64 Windows is an impossible feat.

it's because multi-billion dollar studios don't hire nimble, competent teams that can turn on a dime.

They higher large numbers of replaceable cogs, use massive engines and other commercial libraries from various vendors, in the hopes of shortening development time without sacrificing production value.

Unfortunately, this only works to some degree, and makes turning on a dime hard. Not to mention that their leadership tend not to be technically informed enough that making such a change seems risky for low benefit.

it's why i do not buy games from such multi-billion dollar studios.

Maybe at first. Singapore had to make lots of tough decisions early on, and they fixed it early. Problems which still plague their neighbors to this day.

Thanks for sharing your experience.

OP in particular seems like someone who is familiar with a variety of languages, hence my comment. In addition, given that their requirements lined up with what Rust is good at, the time investment would be worth it.

When it comes to learning Rust in general, I think the difficulty and amount of time required depends on one’s background and overall learning style. If you are the type of person who wants to fully understand why things are the way they are before moving on, the process may likely slow down further. I think Rust is the kind of language where accepting things as they are at first will help you learn quicker. You can always circle back to dig in later.

For me personally, it took a couple of tries to “get” Rust. It definitely wasn’t straightforward to learn, but it wasn’t insanely complex either. Again, I think background and learning style contribute here.

Best of luck on your learning journey!
> we are seeing is that it’s becoming apparent that when a few companies act as the gatekeeper to a large percentage of the people then perhaps government intervention is warranted

I think that's basically the GP's point. It's only "become apparent" now that there is a big tech company that doesn't toe the mainstream line. This (gatekeeping / censorship) was always a big problem with big tech, especially twitter, but the "it's a private company, if someone doesn't like it they can build their own" crowd (conveniently libertarian for a microsecond) shot down any notions that platforms needed some common carrier regulations. Then someone actually did the equivalent of getting their own social network by buying the most popular one, and suddenly everyone is up in arms.
That's definitely more convenient. I think it could be nice to have an additional test suite not written in the same language as the thing you're testing. It would force you to interact with your program the way the rest of the world would. Rather than relying on mocking, setting up test data, and reaching into the internals of your code, you have to set up your test data through the API. This wouldn't be feasible in most of work I've done in my professional career, but in an ideal world I think it could be beneficial not to rely on internals for testing, at least for some set of tests.
So I should keep/sell for alot my purchased-in-the-first-three-months switch?

They need to focus research into ways to let the machine find them and hinder their departure. We used to use a hot cure glue to seal pipes where you drilled into the stream before the rupture pumped in the polymer and advanced the catalyst injection to the correct point to gel in the crack. Too far from the leak = bad, so you gradually advance the feed point until it gels.
We had a case where we dewatered the hunter mine, and we had to go the 1000 feet, at 600 feet water came in faster than 2 600 GMP Flyggt pumps(on rafts could pump).
I went down and there was a 2 inch jet of water from the overhead(drill hole to surface) that was at steady state. It was like an iron bar if you poked a pole into it. We called a specialist. He drilled a 45 degree hole in line with the leak from the wall. Once through he started to feed his mixes. The catalyst feed was adjustable. At first it just threw cured bits out, then he advanced it gradually and soon it began to cure in the hole and he soon filled the hole and filled all the way to the 45 degree injection hole and forced cured material upwards to fully seal both holes. Once he did that the rafted pumps dropped by 25 feet per hour. These were inorganic reactive streams that cured in a fraction of a second. Hot cure does not mean heat in this case, but very fast cures time wise.
Remember that convenience is subjective here. I don't travel regularly and have no interest in playing games in public, for me it's much more convenient to sit at my desk, wait 5 minutes for my game to download on a gigabit connection, grab my controller, open the emulator and launch the game, than it is to turn on my switch that needs its own dedicated dock plugged into my monitor, slowly navigate the eshop to find a game I want, wait 2 hours for it to download through the switch's exceptionally bad wifi connection, wait for it to load from the slow SD card, and finally play an ugly 720p 30fps game which is painful when I'm used to 1440p 144hz gaming.

The HP PA-RISC chip was a huge disruption when it came out. It led to cheap, fast workstations which killed the mini-super vendors (Convex, Stardent, ...). These vendors had already damaged Cray and the other large-scale vendors. And most importantly, the HP chip could run Windows in SoftPC faster than Intel's 486 could run it in hardware. I think it was 1992 or thereabouts, and it was a mess.

Sh*t changes, and perhaps the most interesting lesson out of all that is that software rules and hardware is merely their complementary product.

I agree that stress about this eventuality is the root of a lot of mental health issues. But I would say the problem is actually that recent generations have been socialized into thinking that the average person can expect any more than that. A blessing Indians and Chinese have is being free of that socialization.

The laws are not ex post facto. They have been on the books, on some cases for over 100 years. States were not enforcing them, because they believed they were constitutionally prohibited from doing so.
The command key is one of the great accidental geniuses of macOS (née Mac OS X).

It used to be just a Mac thing, but when the OS became Unix, you suddenly had a GUI key (command) and a command line key (control). Which is great for mental split and flexibility.

You can have Ctrl-C to cancel and Cmd-C to copy on the same Terminal app.

And you get to use both command/option/shift + arrow keys along with readline/Emacs shortcuts on any native text input. So sweet.

I love the dataset, but this has to be one of the worst visualizations I've seen: it takes way too long to scroll through the whole list and the differences in the size of the rendered houses is essentially meaningless to the average observer.
even 'low performing' Google dropout is likely a steal for a company.

I'm not so sure about this. Most companies work in a level of chaos and mess I think most Googlers wouldn't be able to go adapt too very easily.

I find it's very hard to hire people that can work productively through the chaotic and dysfunctional way most companies I work at operate. This is not to say we still don't deliver valuable, even highly profitable things. It's just that we're not often working as a 25 year old mature corporation with decent management would.

I've not worked at Google but from what I've told, it sounds leaving Google for most other companies is like going from first class back to coach and I don't think that is an easy adjustment for many.
By and large, the original artists did not help train the systems.

Engineers figured out how to scrape sites, decode and filter tags, classify images, and feed them into the training dataset.

All the original artist did was publish an image online to be seen by other people.
