It’s important to know the possibilities of new technologies. It will not be long until text generators are as import to my job as Word is. The only way to gain insight in these new tools is to apply them and see their strengths and weaknesses. I’m doing the work, so that you don’t have to. You can thank me later.
You mean kind of like how the US market works now with PFOF?

And the fact that by far the largest market maker in the US is also a hedge fund (two different companies with the same owner(s), where have we seen that before?).
Bwaha, that’s just not true.

As long as the paper is halfway intact, drywall is very difficult to remove and provides significant strength to a wall. It’s a composite material, and excellent fire barrier.

It’s really obvious when it’s up compared to not.

It’s not as much as lathe and plaster, but lathe and plaster is extremely difficult to work with in every other way, and far more labor intensive.

Plywood on a wall is important for shear strength, but lathe and plaster doesn’t replace it. Properly designed earthquake resistant shear walls became a thing long after lathe and plaster were phased out.
Raccoons do, by scooping (they do not like to stand in the water or swim). The pond has deep areas and we put broken pots and cinder blocks so fish can hide. We also get darker fish which are harder for predators to see. Certain local bird species such as herons do too, but they won’t come under low tree canopy or near the house.
I’ve been watching news in Asia, including from Taiwan, Japan, Singapore, and the Philippines.

It’s not overblown. If I were to guess, people are prone to normalcy bias even when the probability for an invasion is getting higher and higher.

The further China’s social order degrades, the higher the chances of an invasion.
This comment is a good example of why "userspace networking" is not a coherent concept.

Also I don't think Tailscale could use DPDK in 99% of cases.
So drop it on fission. There. Settled.

>It feels somehow like you're paying the middle man for nothing?

They also promote your content and find and auction off ads for you. Unless if you're an advertiser, you aren't paying YouTube anything. If you have a problem with it, you're free to host your content on another platform. Keep in mind that that YouTube has to serve the hundreds of millions of videos that get a handful of views, and if you're a monetized YouTuber, it's only fair to be taxed to pay for hosting these videos as everyone starts in that position.
I don't think crunch works but trying to define game scope 3 years out doesn't work either.

That doesn't change anything... it's still round robin. You just stopped at an arbitrary number of 8 integers instead of 9.
Every year I become less and less interested in "verifying" what I can learn from each of this "best" things from Fogus. Hooray for me! Perhaps I'm starting to tame my FOMO?

This is not to rate or devalue the efforts of Fogus in publishing these lists.

A different way of saying the same thing: I wish the first time I saw these lists, it was prefixed by something like:

"The main value of these lists is not for the general public, but for myself. Don't be afraid to have your own favorite things of the last year. Build your own lists! Go crazy. Creating is complementary to consuming and both are necessary for growth. Be Happy!"

This is my interpretation, but I'm pretty confident in this conclusion. Prove me wrong in replies! Or agree with me! Both kinds of reactions should be fun to engage with :-).
See my reply upthread regarding raccoons and herons. We have tried all kinds of water plants, including fishweed, water hyacinth, water lillies and tiny little floating green plants that I have scooped from the nearby river and marsh. None of them survive, likely because it’s such a shady spot on the north side of the house and there’s very little direct sunlight, except in the morning. the only thing that does consistently well is the taro plant. It actually tries to self propagate but we don’t have enough space for another water pot.

Regarding mosquitoes: this is not standing water, because of the pump which goes year-round. I also believe the fish will eat most bugs and any larvae that start to form. they seem to be constantly hungry. Except in the fall and winter.
Thank you, I came here to ask for an explanation for how this was optimized.
Yeah but the Wrights were following research from all over the world, including England and Germany. You might as well say that the Wrights were also funded by the British government.
Our monetary system is designed to facilitate unlimited compounding interest and returns; this necessarily leads to centralization and monopolization which leads to a monoculture across all industries. I wouldn't be surprised if the same force which drives monoculture in agriculture is also responsible for monoculture in the software industry. The winners (first movers) tend to keep on winning - They just have to get it right the first time and after that they will keep winning most of the time regardless of what they do; whatever they push out into the markets.

I think it's wrong to say that software is capital but software and the people who use it certainly follow capital very closely.

Why do so many people use Uber? Because the investors are/were subsidizing the rides (making them cheaper). Why do people use Apple iPhones? Because it allows people to use money-saving apps like Uber. Why do people use Google search? Because its result pages are loaded with products which are subsidized by big investor funding like Uber. Why did Windows become so popular? Because all the big investor money was being spent on building games and programs for Windows (and also, big-money IBM gave them that huge contract). The infinitely compounding wealth of the richest investors decides everything. Most peoples' decisions regarding which software they use is determined by where the big money is being spent. Those who are getting all the big money can afford to lower their profit margins and the monetary surplus can facilitate an entire ecosystem to grow around them. These sometimes poorly designed but well-funded software systems and ecosystems starve funding from better alternative ecosystems and thus starves them of developers which starves them of users.

On one side you have extremely wealthy companies which can sell or lease software solutions which are very cheap and low-margin (because these companies have so much surplus capital coming in from other channels) and on the other side, you have poor consumers who need to squeeze every penny to get by. This is the recipe for a winner-takes all economy.

Just look at cryptocurrency; almost all the developers are working on Bitcoin or Ethereum. Not because they're the best (they're both horrible to develop for and integrate with) - They're simply able to attract developers because that's where the big investor money is and developers and their users are just constantly chasing the money with laser precision.

Also, underlying all this, there is a constant force of peer-pressure which subtly nudges people towards solutions which are backed by big money. Big money can buy both respect and trust.
You can pontificate all you want, but the law is pretty clear that what Apple is doing violates antitrust law, and is thus illegal. See the precedent set in US v. Microsoft.
https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GDP.PCAP.KD?location...

As the World Bank dataset shows, Germany has in fact had GDP per capita growth - the 26500 figure you cite is in 2015 dollars, so it is already adjusted for inflation. GDP growth is never reported in nominal terms, but always in real terms, which is adjusted for inflation.
I think the point of being on the top of the AoC is that they don't have spare time so have to do it in seconds :P
NDAs for service agreements? What do you mean?
The article says that the immune system in the nose does not work as good in colder temperatures. It is suggested to wear face masks to breathe warmer air.

My question is do we need to discard/wash masks more often in the winter? I’m not a biologist but in my understanding the colder outside temperature means more water vapor condensates on the mask which then should in my theory lead to a higher spread of bacteria and fungi.
What about interoperability, as Doctorow argues for? https://pluralistic.net/2021/06/08/leona-helmsley-was-a-pion...
I'm not trying to undermine but more just act as a reminder to some folk. There is no such thing as "just an engineering problem". These things do not exist in a vacuum. It is a part of the tripod of economics and politics. If any one of these three buckles, the whole thing doesn't happen. Concord was an engineering problem we solved, but the economics and politics around it made it a white elephant. Here's hoping this doesn't happen to this.
There's no ratio. It's even across all of them, as long as the integer keeps incrementing. One more number (9) instead of stopping at 8 and there would be an even spread.
I was going to say the terminology comes from inside Google, where afaik go links were invented. However, yeah, that's straight up a trademark. You'd need a lawyer to know whether the trademark would survive litigation, and whether the s on those trademarks makes a material difference. (OP isn't plural, those trademarks are)

Space facilities need to be close to the ocean so that they can ditch rockets without hitting cities.

They need to be as close to the equator (so in North America, as far south) as possible to get the most centrifugal boost from the Earth (use the least fuel) possible.

Perhaps NASA isn't taking it seriously enough wrt facility placement, but they're hardly alone in that. And lots of people are making huge investments, eg, the city of Venice is building sea walls that they haven't previously needed, despite always having been on the coast.

Global Warming was confusing because, while global average temperatures are rising, the effect locally can be unintuitive, eg, destabilizing the polar vortex had resulted in harsher winters in the northern US.

Science communication is hard and it turns out people are pretty bad at it. I'd agree that doesn't help matters. But climate change is indeed real and a huge problem.
Well, what will end up happening is, instead of the money going to business owners, and then ostensibly downwards, it will go to the government officials and then ostensibly downward.

Either way, there will be corruption and losses. The question then arises, which is better off on average for society, and which is better on average for _me_. If the two align, I vote for what is better for society.
Binance withdrawals hit $1.9B in 24 hours
Personally, I don't trust "words from an insurance company." My health insurance company has more money and lawyers than I do. If I get cancer or something and they want to drain my life savings, they probably have some words on page 561 of my insurance policy allowing them to do it. What am I going to do about it, hire an attorney with my $0 balance and sue them?

Ask HN: Prevent ML like GPT from using public posts like this one?
HN,

Several things about GPT-3 and related models like ChatGPT bother me.

First, OpenAI is not merely consuming content I generated (however relatively miniscule that is) but deriving value out of it.

Second, it exposes people to analysis and scrutiny that can be used outside of the pubic domain. For example, if I used a throwaway account to talk about bad practices at an employer or gov agency, this technology can potentially be used to identify me based on writing style much more accurately than existing stylometry methods.

Third, threat actors can use how a person speaks to accurately emulate them when social engineering users (which is worsened by deepfake video and audio).

Lastly, when we author content on a public post, the rules and norms that exist don't consider the type of black-box analysis that can be used to a hostile end, so I don't agree that ML analyzing public posts should be covered under existing public domain rules and laws.

My question is, is the EFF or some other org working with law makers to address this?

There are both consumer protection, fair trade and security concerns about this. I have not been hearing this side of the discussion when talking about ChatGPT for example.

Before ML scrapping, public posts were the equivalent of standing in public fully clothed, with ML scrapping it feels like someone in public is using x-ray to look a layer deeper and expose us in a way we did not consent.

It would be great if social media and sites like HN had a way to tell google,openai,etc... similar to robots.txt "don't use this for ML learning". I feel like laws and standards are 5-10 years behind.
Marketing is a zero sum game to get people's attention. Attention is finite resource and you are competing with others for it.

It isn't a trivial task that anyone can do, at least efficiently (paying the minimum amount for the maximum number of conversions). It is just like programming where some people never seem to get it, except you are also competing against others.

If marketing is not something you are talented at or something you want to spend time and effort on, try paying for it. Even the biggest studios are buying ads and paying influencers.
A simpler scheme I've used for adtech (billions of requests per day) is to simply reserve a chunk of numbers for each server from a central source. Easy to implement, very fast since each node can just increment in process, and using a 64-bit integer is effectively infinite.
It's time to open up consoles and cars, too.

Someone doing something bad doesn't excuse someone else for doing the same thing.

Historically, women couldn't vote, does that excuse countries that prevent women from voting from doing so, too?
Hard real time simply puts hard upper limits on constraints, and if those aren't met then the program is considered to have failed.

It does not imply that people die or that stuff is destroyed. I've used hard real time, soft real time and regular OSs for GUI based interaction and the only ones that really feel like they are satisfactory are the hard real time ones. The soft real time ones are obviously better than the general purpose ones but they still tend to give regular moments of unresponsiveness.
It goes back well past the 60's terminal, all the way to the size dollar bills had had, when punched cards were invented.
Yep. I spent similar years at an MSP, and there were multiple occasions where standard backups were not provisione, despite the client paying for them.
> I dislike the GPL, and the stigmatization of proprietary software for any reason, and the notion that it's inherently evil and unethical.

A flaw in OP's assertion is that I feel that most of what we have today wouldn't exist if it weren't for the GPL licensing.

Edit: Despite RMS's unique bent on things, he hasn't been wholly wrong about the nature of free/nonfree software. If the Linux kernel, or the GNU software suite hadn't been GPL'd in the first place - we wouldn't be using it today. Instead, it would have died out or we'd be using some proprietary fork. I think, in the long term, GPL software benefits everyone because we can fork and share modifications. It fosters a mindset and community that's beneficial to a hacker culture (as in tinkerer, not as in black).
You can also just do this with Circle posts, the permalink to the video is always just going to be avaliable, the client/server just prevents unauthorised people from retrieving content that displays that. While it wouldn't be too much to prevent twitter from protecting content, there are far greater security concerns if people are access the intentionally restricted content
> If you want to see what you should never do as a software engineer if you like not being in jail, this is it.

Strange comment.

Are the engineers who made the code change responsible?? Do engineers need to be lawyers and financial gurus too, and evaluate every ticket they are given for possible illegality in every country the software is used??
There’s an upper bound to SNR for non-algorithmic feeds. You can of course rely on human curation but then you rely on unpaid labor or you’re back with ads again. Podcasts went very much that way, for instance.

I think non-algorithmic is a great baseline, HN and certain other communities are proof that it still works. There’s also a benefit of “everyone having seen the same stuff”, leading to interesting meta-conversations. This is the same “lost shared experiences” of only having one tv channel that old timers talk about, and it’s very real.

That said, there’s nothing inherently bad or destructive with algorithmic curation. What sucks is that we have no insight or control of them. If there was an open marketplace of curation algorithms, we’d be in a pretty good place.
I don't think you can make yourself want to be good at game marketing - you need to partner with someone who lives and breathes that life and recognize, by ownership/compensation, that they are just as important as you to the business, and work on it together from the start (that person will have a better pulse on the audience and what they want to see and how to get it to them).

Have they changed? I assume Amazon, Google and Microsoft all could enter any "instance" (VPS) they choose or simply clone the disk.
It would also be pretty ironic if so, given that the idea was basically lifted from Google internal infra.

> One of things that tends to boggle programmer brains is while most software dealing with money uses multiple-precision numbers to make sure the pennies are accurate, financial modelling uses floats instead. This is because clients generally do not ring up about pennies.
Right. On Android, that's not possible without enabling Developer Mode in settings through a cryptic combo, then enabling the installation of third party packages. After that you still have to go through the process of installing the software.

It's not something you can bait Grandma into very easily. It's a useless attack vector when Safari comes preinstalled on every iPhone.
App tracking permissions are handled by the OS, it's entirely possible to ship Facebook apps that can't track because they can use the same exact permission system that the existing Facebook iOS app is using.

You don't need the App Store for security, it isn't a dichotomy.
Good demo of Clerk notebooks as well as the publication tool.
It's kind of interesting how the plants compete. In spring and early summer, azolla usually dominates. Once the water lettuce and water hyacinth get going, the azolla starts to die off and is largely replaced by duckweed. Eventually even the duckweed starts clearing out, and the water lettuce starts looking kind of malnourished even as it (along with the water hyacinth) takes over every available surface.

I'm not sure what resource the plants are competing for. Phosphorous maybe?
Probably better quote:

Effects of fandom meaning… the effect on your own creativity etc when you are a fan of someone/something else? Or the effects of having people who are fans of you/your-product? Or something else?

I totally get the difficulty of focusing on creative work. I can manage to paint, and do software work for money, but I really struggle to tackle the dozens of other things on my creativity/content backlog.

Good luck with it!
I think there are a lot of different types of people who react in a lot of different ways to various diets, and you can't just say this or that is the best without specifying which person you're talking about.

Doctor said my cholesterol was getting high, so I radically cut saturated fats. Suddenly I was losing weight at a pound a week, eating as much as I wanted. Shed 25+ lbs that way.

Would that work for everyone? I sincerely doubt it. Find what works for you, I say, and to heck with the naysayers.
The entirety of human history until the late medieval/early medieval period, all those hundreds of thousands of years existed without capitalism despite resource inequality. It can be hard to see beyond the dominant social structures we see around us every day, but don't confuse them for inevitabilities. Things will eventually change and whatever replaces the current structures will seem just as obviously inevitable to our descendents.
Of the people stolen from, Tom Brady losing a day filming commercials is pretty low on the list of things I care about.

Imagine, in the future, "onlyfans" people and sexworkers might connect a suit you wear with a mannequin with sensors at their location .

But more interesring is remotely piloted robots that do manual work like assembly line or warehouse stuff. Remote operators will be able to touch and feel stuff and use ML assisted automation of repetitive tasks. I think that is the future not complete replacement of people.
