I think there are three categories of participation. Those who comment, those who just submit articles, and those who do both. Naturally people will drift between those phases.

When I first started, I did both. But I lurked for at least 2 years before creating an account. And oh what a rush it was to reach mid-3 digit karma points at a time when I was bored at my dead-end corporate programming job. And I still remember making it to the “Best of” comments a few times. I know they were just upvotes but I felt like someone out there liked my little contribution or comment. At the peak of my commenting, I remember once I got a shout out from Andrew of Mixergy.

Over time, while I still comment occasionally to train my ChatGPT nemesis, I have settled into just submitting articles.

I think the reason why I’ve drifted away from commenting is that commenting in pseudonymous environments just gets you imaginary Internet points. Also commenting on HN can become a large use of time, particularly if you want to read all the threads in a discussion.

Right now, I’d rather be active in and build virtual relationships with people in a small, manageable number of Discords or Slacks, some of which are actually acquaintances I’ve met in person.
Oh OK, I didnt look in detail.
I enjoyed this before the Internet.
You had tv-schedules, news, horoscope and some other things too.
how much time should he do, HN? he seemed to willingly avoid thinking of money as real. but we also have a financial system where this could even happen. i feel those 2 factors should be weighed against each other.
Thanks for the feedback. Feel free to rewrite it so that it is more curious.
FTC challenges Meta acquisition of VR company in court
Asbestos is usually mined from bulk material that can easily aerosolize whereas most other mined metals have to be extracted from ore using chemical or electrolytic processes. There's fine dust but a lot less since the extraction process includes crushing the rocks after they've been brought out of the mine.

How about the reply posted 5 minutes before yours. Appears like pretty good evidence.
The airspace around the airshow was under a TFR (temporary flight restriction). It would have been highly illegal for anyone to fly a drone there.

I wonder what Musk would say about the idea of limiting Tweets instead of banning them.

Oh, wait!

New Twitter policy is freedom of speech, but not freedom of reach.

Negative/hate tweets will be max deboosted & demonetized, so no ads or other revenue to Twitter.

You won’t find the tweet unless you specifically seek it out, which is no different from rest of Internet.

Elon Musk, Nov 18th, 2022: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1593673339826212864
I use mixed lists all the time to store shit, but I'm also a total python newb that really doesn't know better.
The replies have reminded me to mention that I shouldn't judge so quickly and that a handful of those all-black-clothes-all-day-regardless-of-weather school mates were and some still are my friends. I still believe there is a message that is trying to be delivered via one's threads but it can be a plethora of messages rather than just "fear me". EOM.

How is this any different than Elon's stated goals from 3 weeks ago?
well, they too could play dumb and claim complete ignorance up until the very point Reuters gave them an epiphany, but... yeah, I see what you're saying
Actually, I'd say the most vulnerable part for a strike in a single engine craft is the engine, which sits ahead of the cabin. At low altitudes there's precious little time to correct for any sort of engine failure.

The difference is Waze reports mobile cameras and police on the side of the road (via user reports).

Google as far as my understanding only shows fixed/permanent cameras.
Yeah I remember Google's attempt at Dartium and thought that it was dead when that was scrapped (I didn't realise Angular Dart was even a thing).

I was surprised to see Dart 2.0 come out and Dart 3.0 has surprised me even more.
Why is that gross? It's their speech to decide what they want to promote or not promote. Why are you anti-free speech?
Look for ExTerm around dec 25
I do not think it is much better. I like Waze when I want to aggressively avoid traffic when driving. But Waze doesn't let me save offline maps. Also, I think Google Maps might have better voice navigation when it comes to specific lanes. It depends on the roads and map updates, but Waze might tell you to turn left, but Google Maps might tell you to "use the second from the right lane to turn left".
LinkedIn AMA Session on Fractional CTOs
> I don't agree it's a different problem, as OP pointed out, ZF with the axiom of infinity replaced by its negation is equal to first order Peano Arithmetic, sometimes referred to as the theory of hereditarily finite sets.

Being unable to talk about the set of natural numbers except through encodings (which is how you do infinitary math without infinity) is different than having a symbol for the set of natural numbers which may or may not have additional properties which cannot be discerned within the theory itself (e.g. Lowenheim-Skolem).

> Said theory is also sufficient for all intents and purposes of doing real analysis.

Large chunks of real analysis can indeed be carried out, but significant amounts cannot. Many theorems in analysis concerning perfect sets are not provable in that theory (usually stated as ACA0).

Delve 1.20 Is Out
I was talking to somebody at the bus stop the other day who I met back in my physics days and still teaches scientific computing about how I got dragged kicking and screaming into Python (people just kept showing up with work to be done), that I’d almost like to drop Python from my practice because there is no way I can quit Java or JavaScript but libraries keep me in the ecosystem and how we are both shocked that anybody uses R.
The Cost of Doing It Yourself
While it was still on RC builds I tested it on a few projects I usually run and I got between 0 and 15% faster wrt 3.10, without any regression. But sure, every project is different and it looks like you've bumped into some with your project.

If it's not too big, you might as well just leave things as they are and wait for 3.12 to see what changes then. Apparently the changes will be bigger, so it could be be much better than 3.11 (without being much worse, hopefully!).
Sure, I was just pointing out the simple truth that "~130 reputation in a day is not at all unusual."
> There's no free lunch, Devbox doesn't provide the same guarantees as Docker

It provides _better_ guarantees than Docker. A standard Dockerfile contains this line:

RUN doas apt-get ugprade # boo, reproducibility is now screwed.

vs DevBox/Nix - https://r13y.com/ - is truely reproducible and can generate accurate SBOMs from the build chain vs scanning internals of Docker images with some post build tooling.
Have a look at Fedora Silverblue? It boots off an immutable image and mounts user env over it. Applications and CLI customization use podman user containers (with "toolbox") and flatpaks. And it's still "just Fedora" so you get all packages and updates you need.
I believe we are talking about the same thing but I lack the experience of projects big/complicated enough to really grasp the difficulties.
I loved Python. It was easy to learn, very powerful, has libraries for everything...

Then I started supporting researchers and scientists who wrote "python code" to run simulations etc.

Most of it's pretty basic, install some scientific code published by some research group. They chuck their data in and run it.

But then they started abusing virtual environments, writing their own code, cutting and pasting, commenting out random lines because they saw someone else "fix" something that way... and they all want Jupyter notebooks.

Now it's like an eternal September plus I get to deal with annoyingly slow package managers like Conda and rough academic projects with poor documentation and little testing.
> I would nitpick that it needs to be correctly orientated such that it's perpendicular to the horizon

This is of course true! I wish it didnt need to be said, but I work in radio and I have absolutely seen people install antennas incorrectly (installing Yagi antennas with the wrong polarity or facing the wrong direction is reasonably common). Hopefully that wouldnt be an issue at FM broadcast sites though.
I hate to admit it but VMWare is better for playing games in a VM. USB pass through. 3D graphics etc.
That’s an unusual style of operation. It may be a really good one, but we don’t really see a lot of teams where people have complimentary skills although really we should.
Apparently this is run by a lawyer directly, but yeah.
so what graph database you end up with?
I think there is value in both and it sort of depends on the organization.

With the commoditization of models, we are seeing the rise of MLEs over data scientists. Engineers that understand enough DS to make things work are wildly proficient in this space.

However, not all models have been commoditized, and there is still a need for new math in many places and that’s where the division of labor makes sense. You can’t be an all star engineer and an all star data scientist it’s just too much for one human
I think 3.12 will get subinterpreters, which will allow you to have multiple interpreters, each on its own thread, sharing the process memory space. So kind of like a stopgap in between having real multithreading and pythons current situation. I'm not sure what to think of it so far, so until there's some beta or RC build to test, I don't think I'll be able to form an opinion.
If you were flying the drone there in the approved space - you'd obviously know your drone was struck. Shouldnt that person have reported it immediately if they were being proper about following all guidelines?
Or, more likely, he just won’t talk to them.
> I think this is dismissive of their talent, relative to other people who might try doing the same.

I believe those who are popular content creators are also better at marketing and sales. Getting their work recognized means that their marketing talent is good and not necessarily their programming skill relative to other people who are doing the same.

When looking from that perspective - are you optimizing for hiring people with good programming skills or those with good marketing skill?
Having lived both ways: I was healthier when I walked, but I'm happier not doing so.
The too much supply degrades pay and quality for CS arguments never consider the fact that programing is a tough career over the long term. Few people have the desire to sit in front of a computer programing day in day out for years. Some people love it but many more don't. Especially, if the persons has chosen the career because it pays well.

I think that the number of CS students will increase but ultimately it won't meet demand since many of the graduates will move on to other fields soon after they graduate.
i dont think theres any 4d chess involved, the poster is just saying that what appears to be self effacement is actually alignment with the greater powers that be. the story looks better for them this way. say you're bartending in the trendiest club in town and you spill some drinks on the VIPs. you agree to whatever punishment the VIPs dispense, because you dont want the punishment of the club owner.

If you are interested in cooling, I suggest that you replace your thermal paste.

In my research I have found that the thermal paste is, paradoxically, the least thermally conducting part of a PC heat pipeline. So, use as little of it as possible, to avoid adding thickness.

Or use one made of a metal alloy:

If JavaScript can be compiled effectively, and V8 strongly suggests it can, it's hard to see why python couldn't be.
Twitter calls it "visibility filtering" [1]

Facebook gives mods a "Hide comment" button [2]

TikTok calls it "visible to self" [3] [4]

Truth Social does it [5] [6] [7]

Reddit shows all removed comments to authors as if they're publicly visible [8]

Open source tools are built to do it [9] [10]

Textbooks advocate "disguise a gag or ban" [11]

I call it Shadow Moderation [12]. The system intentionally does not show users the ways in which their content has been actioned. The solution is simple— provide users with the same view that the moderating system has. Whenever their content has been actioned, let users see it.

It may be the result of two groups who fail to connect. Those who don't want any censorship at all, and those who want disinformation to be handled by the platform. If there is no olive branch and no concession made between these two positions, then platform designers may seek to satisfy both by secretly actioning content.

If there is now wide understanding that this happens everywhere, maybe we have a chance to build a platform whose express goal is to not withhold censorship actions from the author of the content.

I'm just really glad its not some Peltier junction solution. It looks like it could be a boon for low power devices that throttle easily such as tablets, maybe even phones and ultra thing laptops. Might even make cooling for non-cpu chips easier.

Funny I just had a recruiter reach out about a 6mo CTH position at Neo4j. Never took it seriously but wonder how that squares with these layoffs.
I was talking about Ken Lay, not Madoff. Sorry if that was unclear.
Am I right in believing that the only supporting evidence (and this is very weak evidence) for this claim in the two parts so far is that Twitter employees donated more money to Democrats than Republicans? Has there been any other evidence that enforcement was biased? In this latest story, Weiss said the teams were handling hundreds of cases per day and then gave a total of four right-wing examples.
It would be useful to have a somewhat in-depth visual of Twitter's engineering architecture along with an explanation of exactly where in the system these 'visibility filters' were implemented. There's also mention of an 'amplification block' which makes one wonder just how natural the phenomenon of a post 'going viral' really was in the past.

Twitter claimed to be a user-driven platform (not counting bots of course) where user actions would dictate what was popular and what went viral, but now there are some questions about just how controlled such events were. Questions like "How much of the this was stage-managed?" and "How much was bot-driven?" deserve answers.
>No, hang on, not a startup, I want a boatbuilder who’s been successfully running a business for half a century or more…

You mean like some wisened old artisan in the deep woods hand-crafting boats with arcane old-world knowledge all but lost to time, whom only the worthy can find by eldritch magic? And he takes you on like an apprentice in an old Kung-Fu movie? But one day while training you find him dead, murdered by a rival boat-building clan who have abandoned the old ways and embraced technology and capitalism and now you need to avenge his spirit by using the forbidden technique to build the legendary Five Dragon Catamaran and win the regatta for the money to buy the land the old Boatbuilder's temple sits on, which is the planned site for a new boat factory, but when your rival's modern craft falls apart going over the waterfall but your craft holds together because no resin bonds more strongly than a man's love for his trade, and as he tumbles to his death you reach out and save him, grasping his hand in yours, and in your moment of triumph, dragging him aboard and winning the race and saving the temple you look to the sky and see the old master looking down on you and you finally realize you were the legendary Five Dragon Catamaran all along?

Or, like, just factory work? That's probably all automated now. Is sandpapering boat hulls still a thing? Maybe you could do that. I wouldn't recommend it, though. Fiberglass dust is god-awful.
> It can provide citations for legal opinions -- but decades old citations that don't reflect current precedent.

From what I've seen of "citations" in other areas (eg asking it to generate stack overflow answers), I'm surprised the citations are even real. It seemed to be wholly making up citations, complete with real-enough looking URLs!
Character terminals like the AAA were portrait — 80x48, yes, but characters were taller than wide.

You can use that stuff in F# if you want to but most of the community uses F# specific libraries like Giraffe and Suave
Yup the new script kiddies in town have not had to win wars against large enterprise companies.

Hacker culture is very minimal these days.

Now a quick npm install here and there, using a slow af editor like vs code, using autocomplete which sends your strokes to the sky and using every single cloud service available to be "pragmatic" while sipping soy lattes, have made this whole industry, slow, uncool and boring.
> wait ... what!?

There's whole allocation strategies built around this idea. One of the simpler, more charming ones is a 'bump' allocator. The implementation of malloc bumps an offset in contiguous blob of bytes and free does nothing at all. malloc is very cheap, the OS takes care of dealing with the contiguous blob of bytes. Bump past the end of the blob and your program crashes.
> if Google offered Search "Premium" using the latest LLMs, how much would people pay for it?

I think they need to solve hallucination problem first, they are already working on optimization eg FLAN-T5 (smaller LLM models same performance) and RETRO (retrieval transformer that can use data index outside of the model) that takes them closer to use it in search.
That list is minimal. Elsewhere there's the no heterogenous lists and no biginteger restrictions, and it looks like import doesn't work either. Presumably no heterogenous dictionaries either - so not only unordered, but also simply typed.

That product was the worst. I remember they had a client that people wanted to install for some reason. In one case, the client would bypass some configuration that was supposedly critical and I got stuck in the middle of some crazy argument between security, network ops and support.
You're right it's not. I gather if you want to get two sides to talk who aren't talking, i.e. those who support that message vs. those who don't, you need to appeal to both.

>Tried putting R into production recently? It’s a frustrating and brittle experience.

Oh man, can I sign onto this rant. While Python has spent a decade+ trying-and-failing to standardize on one of a dozen tools to properly manage dependencies, at least it is trying. R is still global-namespace, no-pinning by default. Sorta-kinda you can squint where renv is going, but still needs a lot of development.

I had some hopes of Julia stealing the R mindshare and righting some of the more egregious wrongs in that ecosystem, but (as an outsider) it feels like Julia has lost a lot of steam.

> Few PDF are truly editable.

You would say the same thing if you were trying to edit a Word document in a browser and you'd never seen a word processor. All PDF can be edited like any other electronic document, you just need the right tools. There are a bazillion PDF editors now and Google sucks worse every day, but I learned to edit PDF with PitStop Pro. I could edit a PDF as though working with QuarkXPress on a Quark document or working with Adobe InDesign on an InDesign document. Once you have access to internals of a PDF and tools to manipulate the objects and type, editing PDF is no big deal. Few locks can be truly opened if you don't have a key (or a pick, or a hammer, etc.).
