To follow people from any server you can use your instance's search to find them.

Another thing you can do is visit the web interface of another server, and watch its local timeline. If you see anyone interesting you can follow them, using your own instance.

If a server has an open timeline, it's usually found at <domain>/public/local

You should be able to connect a mobile app like Tusky to your server(s); that's the underlying idea. You may have to enter its exact URL manually.

Mastodon instances which run version 3 software do not have the feature of hash tag following, which is a crippling limitation; make sure you join an instance that's running 4.

This flowchart is helpful in understanding the visibility of a public toot.

https://mastodon.nz/@chriswerry/109316694545832112

When you toot something, it does not reach instances where you do not have any followers; it won't appear in their Federated timelines. (It will appear if someone from that instance boosts the toot or searches for its URL, but it seems that case would only happen if they went out of their way to other instances to find it, which is unlikely.)

P.S. "mastodon" not "mastadon".
Unless I'm missing something in the article, this is entirely speculative, based on a trivial multiplication of the percentile rankings of a new performance review system designed well before the current economic headwinds. Notice the liberal use of the word "could" when describing how these percentiles supposedly translate to layoffs.

I was driving through the town called Klamath Falls and asked local where are the falls. She said "I've been living here for 30 years, there are no falls". I now wonder if there were no falls anymore due to the dams.
This is why you need to do what the Catholic Church does:

- Own your name

- Excommunicate those who claim to be of your movement that you don't like

Otherwise you will lose control over the term you invented and it goes to hell. Witness Buddhism (Pure Land is basically anti-buddhism), Christianity (where to even begin with all the splitting?), Islam (two big sects trying to murder eachother), communism (pol pot, mao, stalin).

Protect your brand or see your name be dragged through the mud.

Reducing energy to tackle climate change seems pretty unimpeachable. Directing money away from developing world medical charities in order to fund wealthy people riding bikes while thinking about AI seems apposite though.

Agree. And ultimately this does happen under various legal frameworks around the globe.

The trouble is I suspect this man did have the capacity to understand what he was doing and what it was doing to the victims. And so he appears legally culpable.
In many countries bank are sort of responsible if they authorize a payment from a hacked client.

People hate reading bad writing.

As someone who dabbled in creative writing before discovering my vocation, I see a lot of problems caused by people not bothering to explain themselves clearly.

As my time in the industry grew I begin to see people who were confused about their own ideas and came to see how many things we don’t even explain to ourselves. Which likely plays a role in how defensive people get about some of their ideas. They hadn’t considered these things and now they feel out of their element.
That's the important question really. If it still requires a vm, then there is almost no difference between methods.
Lack of organization to that degree is an indicator of failed leadership
I make no claim at to where our current world is on this spectrum, but there is some point on it where a world full of some tiny number of extremely rich people who shower money on the poor, even to the point of material scarcity largely vanishing, but everyone in this world is a dickhead to each other, is a worse world than a world that still has material scarcity but is full of people who honestly and legitimately care for each other.

This is probably far more obvious at small units like families, where we are all well aware of the existence of absolutely miserable rich kids who might live short, drug-addicted lives that end in suicide, in spite of their parents giving them all the money in the world.

Why were we even trusting a random blog on this in the first place? Had anyone even heard about this random blog before?
This has been done in the macroeconomics literature to model bank interconnectedness and financial crises. This literature starts around 2008 or so. I can't give you references since it's not my subfield but it is done. (Daron Acemoglu is one name, but he works on many topics. Maybe Douglas Gale has also worked on this.) Models of contagion in networks among banks are an example.

There is also literature in international trade on trade networks (sourcing components for a final product, for example). Here I don't have names for you.

There is also Matt Jackson at Stanford who has worked on many, many topics in networks. On the empirics (which are very challenging) you may want to look up Bryan Graham and coauthors.

From my limited exposure the work on financial crises and trade, it doesn't seem that interesting but it does exist. The empirical work on networks exposes a lot of challenges. Graham (IIRC) has a recent survey in the Handbook of Econometrics if you'd like to learn more.

No not to the same extent. Meetings proliferate because people love them. LOVE them. Programmers dislike them because of flow but everyone else can't get enough of them. I only realized after enough years outside the tech industry. Meetings are like eating junk food. They make people feel important and like they had a busy/productive day, even if the actual mental effort required was low and the measurable output minimal. Compared to sitting at a desk and focusing on a single task, it's far inferior for most people, who find that quite exhausting or demotivating.

>i. to state clearly that the Russian state under the current regime is a terrorist one

Principles that would have both h and i as consequences, if firmly established, would be quite reasonable, but something that's a special case will never be legitimate.

Even a law against murder, if inconsistently applied, could be a crisis. Imagine, it, for example, applied inconsistently, for example, against a group, in a society which had previously had a system where murders are prevented through revenge. That group would presumably be destroyed.

I think such a principled establishment of tribunals against crimes of aggression or tribunals which determine what states have terrorist regimes is unlikely.

It's possible to oppose Russia in the context of war, or of military support for Ukraine, but to put a legal veneer on something which is not intended to applied generally and thus to have genuinely legal character is not legitimate.
Woodworkers make many of their own tools.
The US has been formed religiously by various congregations that descend from Calvinism, which teaches that hard work earns you the grace of God. In modern times, this has morphed into Prosperity Gospel which teaches that if you are loved by God, you will become materially successful, as well as the flipside; if you are materially successful, you must therefore be loved by God.

The billionaire worship is simply the secular version of this faith. X made billions of dollars by owning a business that does Y, therefore X must be an expert on Y, and businesses in general, and is a genius, and is a morally superior person. Otherwise X wouldn't be a billionaire, because - horror of all horrors - the world is just, isn't it? It couldn't be the case that X just got lucky, can it? Surely, X has earned their billions, right?

For me, Firefox slows down dramatically as it uses more memory (e.g. more tabs and windows opened), and reaches a less-than-usable state well before it has exhausted the available memory. Tab discarding - automatic or by literally closing the tabs - does seem to recover the memory used, but does not recover much of the performance (if any). My AMD 5800 and tens of gigs of memory runs into the same crushing performance blockers as my old 8GB FX-8300 machine, with virtually the same "workload" and usage profile.

Kinda the opposite of what I'd want; I usually have over 16GB more that Firefox could use if it needed, and that's once it has reached critical mass with maybe hundreds of tabs.

Its memory measurements usually look sane, so I feel like there's some data structure or algorithm that is doing something insane in the background - which is already confirmed to be the case with the History menu, particularly if you select and delete thousands of items at a time.
I still don't understand GGP's point. Is the logical conclusion really that because other EAs couldn't recognize SBF as a scammer, we should not even try to measure the impact of charitable donations?

I might note that EA makes logical sense to me, and I pretty much ignored SBF because, as I've often noted in this forum, the entire crypto space is filled with scammers and suckers.

Entirely this. And when it comes time to show success stories, they co-opt other decentralized tech like IPFS or DID. None of that needs a blockchain to operate and does just fine without implementing one. Web3 is truly DOA.
Can you expand on the last bit?
It's funny to me how the simple category of having a job is weighted so highly in some people's minds. I live a life pretty similar to the NEETs described, in all honesty. I live in a suburb in my 20s, I spend most of my time on screens, single, living alone, very occasionally get together with friends. But because I have a software job, I guess I am part of the "successful" class? No, it's not about working or not working in my opinion. It's about a society that has GINI-d it's way out of social mobility, a society that easily lets people close themselves off in extremely comfortable bubbles of cheap entertainment, a society that is so stratified, so alienating, that people would rather just close themselves off from it.

Western society has basically just reverted to feudalism, IMO. Assets are simply too expensive, so circumstances of birth become the most important factor in your quality of life. Working hard doesn't matter because even with the most prestigious jobs in society, you have no way to catch up. The losers who weren't born into a favorable position, such as myself, just occupy themselves with digital bread and circuses. What else is there to do? I'm basically just a bitch of the Outer Party and I've accepted it.
Hi - I didn't "make" this but my community did and I'm so proud of what they made. Happy to take any and all questions!

Just posted a Youtube video about our new docs launch as well https://youtu.be/OSOxlR44x4k
I would start with understanding how assets work. Buy Rich Dad Poor Dad - it's going to be extremely boring and annoying to read, but it's essential because most people truly don't understand how this works. Build up your assets so you have enough recurring income outside of salary to support your standard of living - then do a startup.

A couple of concrete examples of what an asset strategy is:

* An options strategy that helps you yield every so often (example - buying tobacco and alcohol options going into the recession hoping they will yield higher when people tend to drink and smoke more)
* A real estate strategy that minimizes money exchanged in-hand (example, looking at housing markets that are starting to become distressed, buying a foreclosed property, and then flipping it to someone else who would buy it for more but doesn't check the foreclosures listings)

^ There are many examples. It won't be quick money, but you need to get to a point where your assets are generating enough money for your marriage to not fall apart in the very likely scenario that you will fail starting your own company multiple times.

I want to say, I have no idea if this is actually the right sequencing of events for you, but it seems to be if quality of living is a top concern (which makes sense). If you want to maintain a standard of living while taking on massive risk, you need to hedge with a diversified asset portfolio that generates income for you outside of your job.
I am not being partisan, I am just trying to point out that there is a democratic superpac involved in all of this, and I don't see it being talked about much. I'd like to see everyone involved be investigated thoroughly.

I will admit this is all pretty upsetting to me though. I'm a very left-leaning person, and to see the party that is supposed to represent my values doing this stuff and then everyone making claims along the lines of "well everyone does it" is very disappointing.

I'll make sure to add a "I am not a republican" disclaimer in the future.

Your best bet is to get a divorce now. That way she has time to find someone else to help raise your kids, since you won’t really have the time or energy.

Alternatively, find a cushy corporate job with low expectations that is completely outside the domain of the company you want to build. Then, bring your personal laptop to work and work on your side project. Make sure your contract doesn’t give them rights to your outside projects. Make sure you use a separate network (e.g get a 5G hotspot). You might want to fake your commit times so it all looks like it happens during non business hours in case you are sued and audited.

Personally, I do not like video recordings. I find them inferior to text communications in terms of maximum bandwidth and bandwidth to cost ratio (time to write and read).

However, some people are much better at communicating or understanding material if its shown visually, which can be much more time efficient for both parties sometimes. Every format has a place.
One interesting point is how many think there is Java code on GoF.
The upside to waiting is also gaining experience. There's something to be said to learning in environments that work before taking a stab yourself. I'm sure many founders over 40 avoid many mistakes this way
I think there is a trade off on amount of time spent on the high-documentation approach and how large you are. Totally makes sense for larger organisations but less so for startups. There is probably a number of consumers of the information produced at which point it makes the most sense to do go for 'high-documentation'. I wonder if anyone has done deeper research on this.
Dumb question but why is ‘[‘ called ‘closed’ and ‘)’ called ‘open’? I somehow would have thought the reverse.

It's perfectly reasonable to advise against good values in a game that's won by people who strategically abandon theirs. If you want to win, that's the strategy to follow.

Not necessarily a lesson for life unless you view life as a finite game to be won. But in that case, it's probably the best strategy as well.

I don't view life like that and I'm guessing you don't as well, but I'd advise anyone to be cautious of their interactions with people who play to win.

Hello all, I really like the default GitHub Dark color scheme as it's quite visually pleasing for math equations, the slightly dimmed white text being reminiscent of smooth Hagoromo chalk on blackboards.

However, I'm struggling to find a good set of syntax highlighting colors that also have the same pastel palette reminiscent of colored chalk on blackboard while remaining readable.

Common chalk colors are yellow, orange, pink, green, blue, and purple, but there are also other shades offered in specifically in the Hagoromo Fulltouch lineup.

Does anyone have good suggestions of the color set to use, or perhaps know of an off-the-shelf theme that isn't too cartoonishly blackbord-like?

I agree, that in the last years most web3 apps focused on financial/blockchain specific use-cases. I also agree, that many of them had quite dubious claims.

But that's not all there is and I think, that won't be the reason it will gain mainstream adoption.
Usage times, usage intensity, list of all extensions, country of origin. I don't understand why they'd need those to improve Firefox.

Next thing you know they might try to increase engagement time like they're some sort of social network. "Unlock the new exclusive colorway by logging in 30 days in a row." seems like something that could be implemented, seeing how they're time limited already.
EA is about applying well-established social science to the problem of getting the most bang for the buck in charity. There's nothing else to it, and it's not "extremist" unless you hold that charity itself is extremist.
I've been rooting for them to fail ever since the first crypto meltdown in 2013 when they went dark for a week or two and didn't answer to anybody or anything.

And then you mentioned it here and got shouted down. Even had a topic changed by the mods because I dare mentioned it was a YC startup at the time.

Never went back to crypto after that.
I don’t know what you mean by conservative, but if you mean: “support working class people” then yes you caught me.

I wish people just spent more time around these communities they want to talk about. If you’re honestly going to tell me that you’re spending time around working class first generation immigrants, (my experience is working specifically with Mexicans) and not seeing a very strong obvious positive correlation between hard work and success, then I just frankly don’t believe you.
we maintain a wrapper around dagre, which adds functionality like supporting container to container connection. dagre is unmaintained, but it's also "complete", in that it implements the theoretical papers it set out to.
That's not a good enough critique of a new tech. Applicable once it has reached maturity, but Ethereum and EVM smart contracts are relatively very new. If they're still slow and expensive in 2025, Web3 will rightly deserve to be forgotten and abandoned.

Ask HN: Tools for Offline Log Analysis
Hi, needing a little help here.

I am looking for a tool (paid or free) that will assist with analyzing logs for events that are out of the ordinary. When I google this, I get several tools that are designed for analyzing logs from a server. I am looking for something that I can input a log from an offline application (in this case an IOT device) and the tool will help look for anomalies.

Does anyone here have experience with this sort of application?

Thanks!

You envy people who have absolutely nothing to live for? No job, charity, religion, community, children, no hopes, no dreams?

These are not people who said "NO!" to the 9-5 rat race and are doing their own thing; they literally do nothing. For me this is the saddest existence I could imagine, a fate worse than death.

They really don't. Not every document has to include all things relevant back to the big bang. That bit in particular has been discussed by lots of people for quite a while, including a ton of posts right here, so if you just fell off the turnip truck and are truly unaware of the web3 critiques, a little searching should set you straight. Heck, I'll even give you a place to start: https://web3isgoinggreat.com/
COVID-19 is not the Flu. Also, the Flu has been around for at least 1500 years, so humanity would have observed "Flu Brain" or "Long Flu" a long time ago.

To say that the Flu has not been under the same level of scrutiny as COVID-19 is ignoring 1500 years of human history.

Can I ask why you think this is better? I just did some quick math, and based on the average yearly cost of incarceration for an Adult Male in Indiana at $19,202[1], assuming SBF lives for another 50 years, that's $960,250 of tax payer dollars being used to store someonne that contributes nothing to society. So after he's stolen billions of dollars, we'll spend another million keeping him alive for absolutely no reason whatsoever. It doesn't make sense to me economically or socially. It doesn't even make sense to me as an individual, as I'd much rather just bite the bullet than spend the next few decades looking at concrete walls.

But they don't control the cryptocurrencies themselves in any way.

Binance and Bitfinex have control over the one thing that matters most about Bitcoin --- the price. They exercise this control in the same way a central bank does --- they have access to an unlimited supply of "stablecoins" they can mint at will and use to buy/sell bitcoin as they see fit.
