Looked for the photos, yikes. There's a reason people look at this stuff and get morally outraged. It is absolutely outrageous. I guess this is what they set out to do. Mission accomplished. Great. Fooled me again! They got free marketing and I've lost a little more faith in humanity.

If you've experienced this kind of abuse, this kind of stuff is beyond "triggering". "Feels" are supposed to matter, right? I guess who cares when you're pushing the boundaries of art and making money? At least the artist had the decency to set her profile to private.

Strangest thing is everyone defending this stuff as merely edgy/effective marketing. Suggesting COVID came from a lab gets you banned, but this stuff gets a collective shrug. And the left wonders what the right is angry about.

Where's cancel culture when you need it? /s

edit: To be clear, I have no problem with art, even edgy art. Context (and intent) is key. This was merely a cash grab with no artistic value. Unless the cynical cash grab is the artistic statement. Welcome to post-postmodern. Great tool, nothing matters. Next thing you know SBF will claim FTX was intended to be "performance art".

You would also burn a hole in your stomach if you took a 2-3g potassium pill(s).

For what it's worth: I've used "losalt" drinks for potassium-replenishment (especially during carbless diets), and it works well. Hard to overdose, because it will induce vomiting if you get reckless with the ratio of water to losalt.
graph embedding is super useful for both viz + decision procedures

- Viz: Embedding gives x/y coords, and if they rendered the edges, a traditional graph view. A cool thing about recent shift to embedding approaches to the graph drawing problem is optimizing for objective functions that 1980's style spring layouts don't -- think the same things a neural network would optimize for. The code here appears more useful for small/medium graphs (ex: some ec2 tenant diagram) and I didn't see the neural network stuff, but with work, you can scale up several of the pipeline steps to handle 100X+ bigger ones (ex: we work with a lot of fraud or cyber event logs), and in headless cases, ~billion scale. It's a cool new subfield, google "graph drawing neural network".

- Decisions: Node, edge, and subgraph/graph embeddings are all super useful. I'm giving a talk at Friday's Infosec Jupyterthon (https://infosecjupyterthon.com/introduction.html) on the link prediction case for ~identity protection & resource ~monitoring (account takeover, insider threat, rogue devices, data leakage, ...) by mining log data, and as another example, link prediction is basically recsys, which is how any site with a shopping cart makes more money. Node classification, graph motif mining, etc are different but the same. Search for one of the many introductions to graph neural networks for a technical perspective, and I co-authored this survey at the beginning of the year to give a market perspective: https://gradientflow.com/what-is-graph-intelligence/

All this comes up a bunch in cyber/fraud/retail/supplychain -- we're certainly busy there. For anyone into that, we're hiring someone to own a bunch of backend/infra (k8s/gpu cloud/enterprise), 1-2 cleared folks in DC, and in Q1, (graph) data scientists. Simple question but one we're really into :)
Yes. But cortana is specific to windows (at least they never commercialized it to a point where it could work for any software but in theory they could have done that).

What we are trying to do is to build a solution that will work for any applications.

Surely we can come up with solutions to help ease the burden for parents/guardians instead of just leaving them out in the cold because we're offended by the mere idea of taking some collective action to prevent abuse.
For senior specialist tech roles, I think remote is here to stay. There simply aren't enough qualified people for e.g. a whole team of smart TV developers or even really good WordPress developers in any one mid-size city.

My suspicion is that what makes this hard is using higher-order dynamic programming facilities. If you just stick to first-order functions with relatively simple data structures and primitive types then there's a lot of cool, interesting runtime gadgets you can put in.

But the moment you try to use the full arsenal of dynamic reflection, metaprogramming, etc. then the runtime checks and gadgetry needed to analyze all of that explodes in complexity and even if it's possible to make an analysis framework capable of analyzing it, the results might be very difficult to interpret.

So as long as you try to stick to first-order constructs as much as possible, you can get quite far.

1. the USA is huge

2. in most of the USA, there is no demand

solving the Charger Problem for Menlo Park is easy - money + demand is there

solving the Charger Problem for rural Alabama isn't easy - money + demand is not there and may not be there for a long time

its not just Alabama either - go buy a Rivian and then look at a map of where high-capacity chargers available...hope you don't plan on leaving the Big City...

another issue is the rate of change in the EV market...its a big risk to deploy a network of charging stations that may not be compatible with EVs in five years
Yeah it tries to block dupes, but funny the other day people were complaining that the same Elon Musk tweet got submitted at least 5 times in 30 minutes…
No idea why you're being downvoted. The only difference between telemetry and spyware is there's a "legitimate company" with "legitimate interests" behind it.
Tip: don't run Pi-Hole or any of these containers on a Pi, they're underpowered, flakey and now hard to get. I run several docker containers, including Pi-Hole, on a Lenovo ThinkCenter thin client which I run headless next to my router. Purchased "used" for $120 from eBay it was actually overstock and brand new. Tons more processing power and RAM than a Pi, SSD and for basically same price all in as a Pi. Just wipe the old version of Windows and install your favorite *nix flavor.

Every time I need another containerized app to run I'm up and running in just a few minutes with plenty of headroom left on the small box.

Sounds like nothing more than a publicity stunt, given that no additional funding is being made available for taking care of the people they plan on detaining. They'll just grind through the existing under-funded, over-crowded, barely-functional system of prisons and psych wards and hospitals.
I think various privileges unlock at certain karma levels. I don't remember exactly but I think 500 karma is enough to unlock everything.
Agreed with all of this.

It's the programming version of being penny wise and pound foolish. This style of metaprogramming reduces a few lines of boilerplate code at the expensive of making a system as a whole extremely difficult to understand or maintain.
I've always been very, very nervous about the privacy implications of this technology. Creating a persistent, public record of every IP that has ever accessed a particular video is a HUGE step backwards compared to current video/file distribution systems, and I don't think end-users correctly appreciate the trade-offs yet of making that sort of information public and joinable across domains / different activity (i.e. "give me a list of all users who view LGBT content and also watch online instructional videos for my Christian school").

I know there has been unwitting peer-to-peer live streaming of video, but that is not exactly the same as it did not involve file storage.
I think BBC, among others, have experimented with that.
You're not going to cover all of the correct behavior in any nontrivial software with unit tests unless you plan to spend 99% of your time writing unit tests. Static typing gives a good baseline of correctness.
There's this great USENIX talk by Timothy Roscoe [1], which is part of the Enzian Team at ETH Zürich.

It's about the dominant unholistic approach to modern operating system design, which is reflected in the vast number of independent, proprietary, under-documented RTOSes running in tandem on a single system, and eventually leading to uninspiring and lackluster OS research (e.g. Linux monoculture).

I'm guessing that hardware and software industries just don't have well-aligned interests, which unfortunately leaks into OS R&D.

If your DS employer isn't making real use of the capabilities of a skilled data-scientist and that makes you sad, consider looking for a company that will.

Yes. The former submission got enough attention, so it shouldn't be submitted for a year.

Solution: write a separate release announcement (there's certainly more to tell than just "done"?), link to the course from there, and submit the announcement.

Automatically Detect Annotation Errors in Image/Text Tagging Datasets
When image/document data has multiple labels, many label errors and/or missing tags make it hard to train highly accurate ML models. We're excited to share with the HN community our newest research on algorithms to automatically find label errors in multi-label classification datasets.

In the same way that someone can also start a new city at any given time. Yet, the price of real estate in Manhattan remains expensive. Blockspace on major pre-existing chains is valuable because 1) the ability to compose with other applications running on that chain, and 2) higher value of native assets increases the security of consensus in PoS networks.

Again, this isn't just hypothetical. Today, users pay an orders of magnitude premium for Ethereum block space compared to other chains. That's because Ethereum has much higher value applications to compose against and better security guarantees around consensus.
But it's a feature, not a bug :) and occasionally one gets to imagine multi-dimensional diamonds and then build them.

This is true; not having that remote server has its pros and cons. VS Code is also just in general slower than Emacs haha.

I'm surprised the difference is that much though!
Or e.g. Neovim if `FCEDIT=nvim`
P2P connections over the web are usually not possible due to typical consumer router configurations and bad decisions in the design of WebRTC protocol.

The vast majority of these P2P web projects, including WebTorrent, is actually using proxy servers to fake the illusion of P2P connectivity (to be specific, they are using TURN servers to proxy traffic).

Judging by the countless times the same stories get posted here, I'd very much doubt there's any automatic de-duplication going on.

But, if the system is stopping you submitting the same URL again, why not why not just put a meaningless query string on the URL so it's different from last time. eg:

BTW. I don't know if that will work. Just a thought.
As an adult with disposable income surface mount is easy, I have great soldering irons and I order PCBs all the time (used to make them too but it's gotten cheap enough that it's not worth the hassle)

But for a 15 year old with no budget and limited tooling (even flux would have been a luxury), being able to order off a sample form and get something that just worked was invaluable.
I should be careful when I say it will work for any application.

It will need domain specific customization, our goal is to create a low code platform so product managers and business people can perform these customizations.
Mastodon seems like a more successful version of what Diaspora was supposed to do.
AFAIK, there is always a separation between the program (represented by the code) and the process (the execution of the program by the machine). To “hyperprogram”, we would need to merge the two. I view the program as a space-based entity and the process as a time-based entity. How do we map time to space? Especially if it's a non-deterministic process?

Lisp macros allow us to specify multiple versions of code at compile time. And Lisp conditions allow us to redefine or discard runtime contexts. But this time-based manipulation is simpler than what you seemingly want. The easiest way I can think of is to offer an API to track the evolution of types, but I'm guessing the performance hit would be heavy.
I, uh, thought that the beyond meat pseudo-ground-beef I ate tasted almost exactly like beef, cooked like beef, looked like beef, etc... just without the killing of a cow. I liked it and will buy it the next time I want ground beef.
Any idea for something rpi that filters traffic on https content for children? Perhaps add a browser certificate and a configurable proxy?
It works like this: there are no Constitution Police. No one gets arrested for making an unconstitutional law.

NYC especially is pretty good at this: they make a law, it works through the system and gets struck down by SCOTUS, then they immediately make a slightly different law which has to work through the system and be struck down.

It’s way quicker to make a law than it is to strike it down. Ultimately, if the people of a region keep electing lawmakers who make unconstitutional laws, that region will have unconstitutional law most of the time.
This doesn't seem specific or particularly enabled by dynamic types?

I don't really understand it yet and have barely used it but this seems like it's supported by expression trees / Roslyn / code gen stuff in .NET/C#?

Is there a difference I'm missing here, e.g. writing some lambda and having the code generate code to run it against NoSQL or SQL or some other storage at runtime which is what I think things like LINQ2SQL do under the hood is basically equivalent right?

This type of programming seems like it can be supported by both types of types?
Long story short:

BEVs was designed with a specific target, even if no one formally state that in such crude terms: to keep a grid with significant amount of intermittent sources (like p.v. and eolic) we need something fast enough to compensate their peaks and drops, witch happen to be batteries. They are too expensive respect of their limited service life so better offload such costs to private Citizens to keep company profit. Private cars are actually batteries on wheel, cars are already not that cheap stuff, people do not use them for more than 8-10 years anyway, due to limited range they got plugged in frequently like when you stop traveling anywhere.

The above paragraph was initial theory. But while people have bought a bit p.v. because it's already interesting in vast areas of the world far less interest happen for EVs and since many people even if casually do travel for longer range they need quick charging witch means a hyper big peak loads for the grid.

EVs adoption was forced with laws (emission limits, travel limits in cities etc) and got pushed by soon to happen frequent blackouts, for some reasons people decide to buy them en masse recently but there is still NO SOLUTION for the grid: actual p.v./eolic volume is grown, but far less than the skyrocketed energy demand, quick charge need to be more widespread, fast (3-phase 7.3kW / 22kW) chargers need to be FAR more widespread etc so grid operators, aka private scammers are still in trouble...
The state is not actually accepting cryptocurrency tax payments. Tax liabilities are still denominated in dollars. All that they have done is partner with a third party payment processor which will sell you dollars for cryptocurrency at the current market price (minus fees), and then forward those dollars to the tax authorities.
Ooo we could go on forever. Let’s start with VS Code.

What we want to do is list features. For example, people prefer the GUI and the mouse, non-modal, batteries included.

It’s not a bad thing. It’s just been a while. Those editors were written for a time that don’t exist anymore.
I find static types invaluable as a machine-verifiable (to at least some degree) communication tool. It's mostly stuff you ought to be documenting anyway, but in a format that's way more useful than some notes in a readme, or a comment, or whatever. I find it alarming that folks claim to save time by avoiding them.
Could not agree more! Unfortunately, I don't think we'll realistically be able to convince everyone, and even if we did convince everyone to have frame pointers tomorrow, it would still take years to take effect. So for the foreseeable future we'll still need things like this, even if I wish we didn't.

That said, we should still try to convince people!
Emacs should be a good choice for everything, which is my point :-)

Just because you can't easily get it to be great at one thing (lsp) doesn't mean it needs to be abandoned for everything else.
On a linux desktop you can have this in GTK applications with the "gtk-key-theme 'Emacs'" settings.

I don't know much about case law but seemed that in both cases there must be burden of proof that they are a harm to themselves or others. From my time in SF I have seen more people than I can count walking around with blood and feces caked on their legs. I could see someone like that requiring instituional help.
The "HN crowd" is right. We don't want these corporations exfiltrating any information about us. We don't really care what it is or what they're going to use it for. We want them to have exactly zero bits of information about us. Their attempts to collect data without our consent demonstrates a complete lack of respect for us and our wishes.
I think there is a widely accepted view that children have limited rights, that may include free speech - porn included. They have no right to vote in all countries, no right to drink in most, no right to own guns (looking at USA mainly), so a limit on free speech does not look like a new approach to children's rights.

I don’t know if I agree fully…

I do think that “remote work” is the new “satellite office”. If you’re a walk street bank, why open a NJ office for low-importance work when you could just hire remotely.

But I’m not convinced there is a willingness to return to office. Snap, the company in question, isn’t in good shape. Can they attract enough talent willing to be in office?

I vaguely agree that “for smaller companies, I think in person has a lot of value to move fast and build a deeply connected culture”. But the issue seems to be with getting any big corp back.

If you pay enough, people will move to you. We’ve seen that across all of human history. But can you pay more than remote companies? Do you gain enough productivity to offset the cost (either salary or missed talent)? If you hire a mixed team, you hired a remote team.
Ah gotcha, in that case, as I said, I've never come across a DWARF expression while doing stack unwinding in the wild. Just registers and offsets :)
I don't know. This sounds very computer-sciency-ish. We build smaller tools to help build big things. Now the big things are so good and versatile we can replace our smaller tools with the big things too. With the more powerful tools, we can build even bigger things. It is just compiler bootstrapping happening in hardware world.

> Borges even christened the car Rocinante and fancied their getaway as Don Quixote and Sancho Panza on a Scottish literary pilgrimage. They stayed at the Crusoe hotel in Lower Largo, where Borges tasted a pint of Export – by stirring the foam with his fingers and licking them – for the first time in his life. In Dunfermline, he licked the spine of a Walter Scott novel inside a library. In the Cairngorm mountains, he slipped down a slope while screaming out lines from King Lear in a thunderstorm. At Loch Ness, he fell out of a boat while trying to recite Beowulf in the middle of the lake. In Inverness, he set out to meet one Mr Singleton, with whom he had been corresponding for years on Anglo-Saxon riddles. But when Parini called the number on the slip of paper Borges handed to him, they discovered that Mr Singleton lived in Inverness, New Zealand.
