Abraham Lincoln’s Thanksgiving proclamation:

The year that is drawing toward its close has been filled with the blessings of fruitful fields and healthful skies. To these bounties, which are so constantly enjoyed that we are prone to forget the source from which they come, others have been added, which are of so extraordinary a nature that they cannot fail to penetrate and even soften the heart which is habitually insensible to the ever-watchful providence of Almighty God.

In the midst of a civil war of unequaled magnitude and severity, which has sometimes seemed to foreign states to invite and provoke their aggressions, peace has been preserved with all nations, order has been maintained, the laws have been respected and obeyed, and harmony has prevailed everywhere, except in the theater of military conflict; while that theater has been greatly contracted by the advancing armies and navies of the Union.

Needful diversions of wealth and of strength from the fields of peaceful industry to the national defense have not arrested the plow, the shuttle, or the ship; the ax has enlarged the borders of our settlements, and the mines, as well of iron and coal as of the precious metals, have yielded even more abundantly than heretofore. Population has steadily increased, notwithstanding the waste that has been made in the camp, the siege, and the battlefield, and the country, rejoicing in the consciousness of augmented strength and vigor, is permitted to expect continuance of years with large increase of freedom.

No human counsel hath devised, nor hath any mortal hand worked out these great things. They are the gracious gifts of the Most High God, who while dealing with us in anger for our sins, hath nevertheless remembered mercy.

It has seemed to me fit and proper that they should be solemnly, reverently, and gratefully acknowledged as with one heart and one voice by the whole American people. I do, therefore, invite my fellow-citizens in every part of the United States, and also those who are at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next as a Day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the heavens. And I recommend to them that, while offering up the ascriptions justly due to Him for such singular deliverances and blessings, they do also, with humble penitence for our national perverseness and disobedience, commend to His tender care all those who have become widows, orphans, mourners, or sufferers in the lamentable civil strife in which we are unavoidably engaged, and fervently implore the interposition of the Almighty hand to heal the wounds of the nation, and to restore it, as soon as may be consistent with the Divine purposes, to the full enjoyment of peace, harmony, tranquility, and union.
Hello, we can meet on twitter: grsl_en :) thanks for your comment, it's still a v1 in beta but I will continue to improve it.
And yes as you can see in the ui there are buttons for preview but not yet functional :)
Maybe wait a little while? I feel like we don't even know 10% of what's likely to come out over the course of the next year.
It's a major tech company undergoing a fundamental rebuilding. I'd absolutely work there, it's a very rare opportunity. Previous Twitter never crossed my mind as a place I'd want to work.

But you've got to go in knowing it will be intense chaos and it could end suddenly for you personally.
We have people trying to protect Nazis from kidnapping the public conversation. Not very successful in the last ~10 years, though.
And the problem is that the the snake has now reached its tail.

Maybe there are specific conditions, like it might help laundering or help deter competitors from entering their website, whatever that this scheme has a net positive gain for them, but this is insanity.
You still haven't answered the question. Your link has no example of use cases, though it has warnings about what not to do.
> Hopefully degradation of user experience will curb it somewhat.

Sometimes the ads even betray themselves. Like I, as a rule, hate ads. I block them where I can, and where I can't, I do my best to ignore them. But then you get instances where the ad _is_ what you're actually looking for. Like if you search Amazon for "iPhone", you get official first party iPhone stuff from Apple, but they're sponsored listings. My proclivity to skip ads would make me scroll right past the only quality products on the whole page, into a slew of AliExpress level garbage.
Happy Thanksgiving to all! HN is definitely near the top of things I'm thankful for.

No, it needs to be brought into political discussion and a real analysis of how and why such speech has been spreading and tolerated. I believe that curtailing speech that is hateful is needed while I'm not equipped to define what's hateful speech but believe we have enough scholars who studied hate speech, paradox of tolerance, and the many other facets that pure absolute free speech can take that is detrimental to society to be able to debate in the appropriate forum what could deter those ideas from spreading through the mindless hateful folk.

I love how more and more I completely agree that this parody of Hacker News [1] approaches how discussions are done here. From my take where I believe that right-wingers and libertarians are forcing the tolerance of intolerants based purely on ideology I get replies saying that I'm both arguing for a censorship State to a TL;DR from a numbwit under a throwaway account stating that I'm calling for communism.

It's truly mesmerising how shallow people can be.

Maybe I should start adding some more examples :)
Thanks for pointing to these options; is there a list you can recommend of everything that should be done (hopefully updated regularly)? It is quite the arms race.
YouTube used over 175 times more energy watching Gangnam Style in 2019 than Ethereum uses per year. Paypal uses 100x the power consumed by PoS Ethereum in a year [0].

This argument was (and still is) valid for PoW algorithms, but energy consumption is now barely a factor for Ethereum, which is the main network we take payments on [1].

I obviously can’t speak for everyone, but personally, I am much more interested in what he has to say now than I was pre-collapse.
I live in the Seattle area, so Amazon shipping is pretty fast and accurate, but there have been a few times when things were shipped but they apparently just disappeared in transit. One time it was a car part and it got close enough that it was on a truck from the city 20 miles north of here, then it just dropped off the radar and they refunded my money.

Then every once in a while you get something that takes a month to deliver, comes in a package covered with customs stamps, and is roughly the size and shape of what was ordered but wrong. I ordered a titanium tube one time - think the dimensions of a reusable drinking straw - and after a month got a solid titanium rod. "Mail it back and we'll give you a refund." There's a bit of unfair asymmetry there, friend, since you're mailing stuff to the US all day and I wouldn't have the faintest clue how to send something to China, and I'm guessing it's going to cost far more than the thing I'm returning.

But I'm an addict and I don't see myself cancelling Prime any time soon.
Hmm… junk food is generally more expensive than rice, beans, canned veggies, frozen veggies. Look at the prices for a bag of chips and it’s pretty expensive.
I really miss "customers who also brought" features. I used to discover a ton of good books with that. Now it's all advertising. The whole search results are advertising and recently they are not relevant also any more.
The fact that Thanksgiving is not a thing in Europe.
> People often also incur substantial costs, almost being wiped out, in moving from poorer countries to places like the US, where they hope to make up the difference and more later on in the new country. If they're laid off just a few years in that could be too soon to have rebuilt their savings

And most of them would probably be here on an immigrant visa for the first decade (?). I specifically said that I understand why they wouldn’t be able to quit.

> Nor is it reasonable to demand that everyone live as though they're only earning $70k. Saving is good and should be encouraged, but let's not pretend everyone is in the position to be able to save up 6-12 months of income

It’s not a “demand” and the result and risk that you take by thinking you are above living below your means should be apparent by what’s happening at Twitter.

Since 1996 - the day I entered the workforce as a developer - the number of days I spent worrying about “burnout” after 3 years, a decent resume and savings, was 0. When the pay/bullshit ratio got too high I left. Yes this was in 2000 during the dot com boom, 2008 during the recession and 2020 during Covid.
Today's a real shit day for me, not because of the holiday but because of the events in my life leading up to today, but I just wanted to pop in and tell HN Happy Thanksgiving because this community is wonderful even with its flaws. Thanks for everything over the years and many to come.
I wonder if Postlite would work.

Actually that looks more like an interactive client.... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30875837
Heat pumps only work at that level of efficiency above about 10 degrees C. That is why they often have integrated electric resistance heaters.
Maybe they will cast Durin as Sam, Gil-Galad as Zhao and Galadriel as some DOJ investigator. The only question is - who is Sauron?..
>1) not fsd, just a test of automated emergency braking

So you're saying we should trust full self-driving on a car that can't brake in emergencies reliably? And that this is ok?

>2) lidar guy. You'll see a ton of responses to his antics on HN and YouTube.

From fans of Tesla & Musk. Just as untrustworthy. Except one side here has provided evidence of a problem, and the other side has responded by making excuses & attacking the guy.
Why not both for SEO and backlinks?
I'm not sure since I did not use disk encryption, but it very likely does. You may want to Google it to confirm.
The word "algorithm" has suffered wild semantic drift at the hands of journalists. Let's see if we can start to fix that now by making sure that on HN and in adjacent communities of all places we use the appropriate words for the thing we are talking about.

We are talking about heuristics here, not algorithms.
and he wasn't just a diver- he was the recognized expert on the cave, having mapped it. He was also in close communication with the people organizing the rescue and was one of the few people who could say to Musk: "Thanks, but you're not helping"
SQLite is magical and incredibly lean, but it is not leaner than Postgres if you need real database features. You end up reimplementing a lot of features in code that belong in the db.
To add to what people said, most of these ML models target an ML library like TensorFlow or PyTorch.

Those in turn have hardware accelerated backends. Traditionally they’ve only had CUDA backends but Apple ported large chunks of both to Metal as well.

So none of these libraries really target CUDA. In fact they’d run fine without a supported GPU but much slower.
Excellent! 10 seasons it is!

Fascinating! Every time I read articles or papers on advances in ML I always daydream about their application to guitar tone, synth and sound design. I wonder how long until I can analyze a song section as input that allows me to play that exact tone/synth?

To replace or supplement remote, you can carry a little Raspberry Pi. This guy makes a nice video about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3qn1nqw-Gw

I have previously setup a Hetzner server (EU) with openVPN and Code Server, and then I was able to really have the benefits of pretty secure dev environment that was always on, easily accessible, and powerful. Of course it required a connection to use, but the bandwidth requirements were low. Latency requirements were more important, but they weren't as harsh as if you were using a remote desktop.
Nuclear has immense capital costs. Considering the exponential drop in solar/wind installation costs in the past few decades, it might turn out a bad investment.

> The alternative is track down the original, individual vendor and deal with their custom sign up

Where are these vendors that require you to sign up before you can buy their stuff? If you don't want to sign up... don't.
At some point it crosses the line into fraud. Like look at this listing:

https://www.amazon.com/SAMSUNG-49-inch-Odyssey-FreeSync-LC49...

There's a little box that says:

>Protect your purchase

>Coverage for drops, spills and breakdowns (plans vary)

If you click through you'll see that the plan specifically excludes drops and spills. Two of the three things they advertise for.

Like that's just fraud and someone at Amazon green-lit this knowing that it's just fraud. It's not optimization gone haywire. It's discovering that you can make money scamming people and not having any qualms about scamming your customers.
Watching my parents get duped by Amazon results is maddening. They’re used to being able to trust a retailer or at least some consequences for scams and poor quality. People less scam-savvy than myself get understandably confused by “Amazon recommend” or a slightly lower price. But the minute I search for something on Amazon a dread comes over me of “here we go”. My danger center kicks in and I have to keep your wits about me. It’s a symptom of our (American at least) obsession with getting “the best deal” no matter what and it’s just awful.
My poorly informed understanding is that they are not interchangeable.

The Mozilla Foundation exists to support internet freedom. Firefox is a means to that end, but if they fired every Firefox developer and replaced them with a skin on top of Chrome that wouldn't be against Mozilla's goals.

Which means: if you want to support Mozilla you should sign up for this and some of that money will trickle down to Firefox. If you want to support Firefox then you should convince people to use it more.
I haven’t ordered anything from Amazon in several years and don’t miss it. Have stopped going to Whole Foods too. Fortunately I live in an area where I don’t need to buy everything online, I can still get most of the things I need locally, and if I don’t there’s a reputable specialty dealer, or ordering directly from the maker may be possible.
So if the median household is “surviving” someone making twice as much (your typical mid level “enterprise developer” in any major city in the US) can’t thrive or someone working at Twitter who is making three times as much can’t save?
>even their shipping (with Prime too!) is getting slower

Not only that. Try searching while in Incognito Mode and you'll see the same products, sold by Amazon.com, without Prime, for a few bucks cheaper than when you're logged in and seeing them with "free" Prime shipping.
It also connects to https://stats.g.doubleclick.net/j/collect
Remember when Dory reveals that she can "speak Whale" in Finding Nemo? I actually use her Whale-speaking gift when I try to communicate over a bad cell phone connection (like Google Voice VoIP). If you speak Whale, slowly and elongating all your vowels, you can be understood much better. It sounds super-goofy on this end, but trust me, if you want your message to get through, it really works!
Why would other people agree to share a stage with a guy who has possibly/probably(?) committed a massive fraud?

It is a similar situation with buying a car for $500 that will require lots of repairs vs. a more expensive car that will give you a lower cost per mile.

While this does add some drag, in most of the situations I've actually seen, it isn't the main barrier to getting out of poverty. The main barrier seems to be a culture or mindset that prioritizes short term benefit/feelings over long term benefits even when there are other options. For example, things like getting a dog, signing up for cable TV, getting an unnecessarily expensive new phone, spending money on going out to eat, etc.

For many people in poverty, their experiences make these decisions feel very rational so it is hard to think any differently.
Ahh this is so exciting to see so much happening in this space all of a sudden! My quest to get a personal instance running has been a long slog for me personally.

I had been working on an ActivityPub server in Node.js/TypeScript for a while before the Twitter migration. It's got most of the features I'd want in a small server but it's basically bring-your-own-client at the moment.

https://github.com/michaelcpuckett/activitypub-core

Finding all the resources to build a complete server that can interact with other instances isn't easy, so maybe this can help someone. The spec is well worded, but the checklist is confusing, the test server is down, Mastodon has its own rules, etc. Plus you have to have at least a cursory knowledge of JSON-LD/RDF.
Does anyone think these decisions are best for Twitter at this time?
Really? I've seen 2fa break, the rules for parody accounts change multiple times, ones making fun of Elon banned and the blue checkmark fiasco where a bunch of people were able to purchase official looking accounts for prominent companies and people.
You’re wrong. Just because it’s not the absolute peak of efficiency, written in C with asm routines to talk to the db, doesn’t mean it’s not efficient.
And now we have gazillions of phones going into the trash, unusable because of closed drivers making continued usage unviable. Nice.
He did not pay $44B for Twitter. He paid $31B and dumped $13B of interest rate payments on top of the heads of twitter engineers. The interest on those loans amount to $2.74m PER DAY out of the supposed $4m PER DAY that twitter is losing

Imagine you are working at a company and 30% of its capital evaporates overnight. If you are holding onto that capital, or warrants (such as stock options) for that capital, now would be an awesome time to quit, because you were just given a 30% pay cut in your capital compensation (for mid-level engineers this translates to 15% gross pay cut on entire salary package). And your pay cut happened because the founder is super-greedy, stupid, and caustic.
> We currently offer Mozilla VPN in Austria, Belgium, Canada, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Malaysia, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the UK, and the US.

This list really needs to expand a lot more, and quicker. Mozilla is “literally” leaving money in the table by not serving many other countries. The market size may not be as big, but there is the Mozilla brand name recognition among people who work in tech and there are people who’d like to support Mozilla Corporation directly.
I don't mind the ads, they are clearly labeled "sponsored".

What I hate is all the fake reviews influencing my choice. You buy something highly reviewed then receive some giftcard/offer or something in the packaging saying to leave a review and get something in return.

Now I have to "reddit productX" and read there before making a choice.

Jonathan Blow admits his language is a hoax
Musk wants 20-25% of the workforce remaining to run Twitter. He’s not closing all facilities since he is promoting RTO.

In theory that’s a bargaining chip that organized labor could have used (this would involve labor solidarity between the laid-off/fired workers and the ones he wanted to keep). Bringing in “scabs” with zero institutional knowledge to run the site effectively without torching his $30 billion equity investment could have been very difficult, especially since RTO in San Francisco is apparently valuable to him.
I almost bought a tesla. I was really excited at the idea of driving over to the factory and picking up my car (I live close by). Then my friend pointed out that Model Ys had had some delivery problems and pointed me at https://github.com/polymorphic/tesla-model-y-checklist
After doing a bit of research I cancelled my order and bought a toyota because the out-the-door build quality is not something I need to worry about at all.

The NYT having SBF speak at one of their conferences would be the paper's moment to shine?
The difference between the US and the UK is size and the sheer remoteness of some places, even small cities. Unless you've been there, it's hard to grasp.

I've driven around large parts of the western US and there's a LOT of empty space. I don't know how many shipping centers Amazon has in the UK, but I am about 99.999% sure that there's areas of the US larger than all of the British Isle that are served by a single warehouse and shipping center.

So the variability in the US is going to be very high. Some places that happen to be near a shipping center, or two, will have consistent on-time delivery. Other places that are distant from one, and may have a high mountain pass that's dicey in winter or closed because of wildfires in the summer between them and that single center, are going to have problems.
With very few exceptions, anybody in a life threatening (or what they perceive to be a life threatening) situation is going to pick themselves over a person that they don't know and believe is trying to kill them. It is exceedingly hard to train this out of people and the only way to know whether or not you successfully have is to observe them in actual gunfights. I would even go as far to say that the trait is probably concerning from a psychological standpoint and the pool of people you would reliably find it in would raise some eyebrows, too.

Getting an officer's skin in the game doesn't make them think about what they're doing. It results in them deciding in 1-2 seconds that they're in a dangerous situation, and they're going home no matter what. I really don't think you understand what being in a life-or-death situation does to normal, mentally sound people. The idea that officers having time to decide whether or not lethal force is necessary is a bad thing just doesn't make sense.
Best of luck, hope things get better! <3
Wow this thread is the only Google result for "YGGFSS" that isn't a catalog site.

Yeah, yet this bonduary traces a fuzzy and surprising route. Lives are on the line in microbiology, yet Bik uncovered thousands of suspect image errors there (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elisabeth_Bik). Semiconductor physics is relatively tangible and close to production, yet Hsu&Loo and others found that Schön faked his award and attention grabbing recipes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sch%C3%B6n_scandal).
