Ask HN: Why are the Elon Musk topic submissions being suppressed?
Maybe it was happening before, but I've noticed it a lot in the last few days - every time there is a thread about Elon Musk, it disappears from the front page extremely quickly, regardless of how many upvotes it has (or the speed of them).

I knew Hacker News had built in abilities for their moderators to promote and suppress content, but I am very surprised at the topic/consistency of this suppression in this instance. What gives?
My experience of VSCode _is_ messing around with my config, but giving up and going back to a more mature editor because I could never get it to do what I wanted. I suppose capitulation was also an option, but I dislike the characterisation of tooling as something other than ‘actual coding’.
I remember hearing somewhere that the glass doors of supermarket fridges have a coating that prevents them from fogging so that you can always see the products at display and that made me realize that they are indeed never fogged. If I remember correctly, they said that the coating uses europium.
You mean like this one?
Twitter bans CNN, NYT, WaPo journalists without explanation
It's covered in many of the documents on the project page[1], specifically the just-released Social Impact Assessment scoping document.[2] There are 168 members of the ISA, including Nauru which sponsors TMC's exploration license. Once the project reaches commercial operation, royalties will be distributed to ISA for division amongst the members or funding related international programs.

Maybe look into it even a little before spewing bile?

The internet is the town square. Twitter is a shitty bar on the square.
bottom right. looks about 2k.

I can't find the original, but from read it seems like the last tweet was a day before this.

On the insta this was closest i could find and it looks like was LAX not huntington
Yet again you are not responding in good faith. You defend your own admitted bad faith as a “misstep” but the other person’s alleged bad faith as “with intent”. Surely this is textbook bad faith.
The Factory Is the Product
Only the tiny minority of techies screaming about the 'fediverse' care. There is little interest with the majority of non-techies 200M+ that care to use it daily, let alone sign up; hence why they still use Twitter.

Federated social networks such as Mastodon are a solution in search of a problem, and it always has been like that for years.
Here’s a video of GPU accelerated Xrdp on a Fedora machine being used with Remmina on a Raspberry Pi:

https://twitter.com/rcarmo/status/1584627462939492354?s=61&t...

It was already pretty fast with plain xorgxrdp, but using xorgxrdp-glamor made the server side _way_ faster. RDP as a protocol blows VNC out of the water, and can use x264 as well.
I don't think the games type is accurate. To me it was less about click speed and more about my eyesight - how quickly can I find the number?

Click speed would be a single button and a timer, click as many times in a second or something

Yes, the latter. At least Chromium-based browsers support it behind a flag (ie., you can't use it on the web yet, but you can experiment with it and file feedback). I don't know if Firefox does, too, but they very well might.
I have C-f mapped to Find and C-v mapped to Paste on vim. It’s trivial to do (one line per mapping) but yes I would be considered an heretic by some vim purists. They tend to go the other way around, using plugins to make their browser behave like Vim. Which makes more sense than it might seem; if you spend a lot of time on the command line vim bindings are better supported than ctrl c ctrlv
It basically is extremely reliable and deterministic. Mainframes just work and stay up indefinitely. If you want to do a tax report or send out scheduled mails on 5 000 000 accounts, cobol is the right tool for that sort of job. Just shuffling data in let's call it a DAG of batch jobs with sql and restart checkpoints sprinkled in. It fails due to human error in the code or a relied upon system, because bugs in the language itself are nonexistent. Updates to the code is mostly due to regulation and compliance and keeping the business running.

But mostly, it's just impossibly expensive to rewrite a humongous spaghetti of societally critical systems from cobol to something modern such as java or .NET.
I assume people are annoyed by seeing every small iteration of the same overarching story and flag them. A bunch of the stories probably also tripped the flamewar detection, which downranks them automatically.
Er, no. You just need to install xorgxrdp on modern Fedora and Ubuntu. On Fedora 37, you can also install xorgxrdp-glamor for GPU acceleration. Only thing I had to add was the pulse audio plugin, but I think that’s being packaged now.

HN is currently being spammed with anti-Musk propaganda, there is one anti-Musk post after another about the same two topics
Dishonorable Mention (2019):

> As they sprinted together down the echoing, looping ramp of the deserted Guggenheim Museum, closely pursued by three swarthy members of the resolutely vicious Cannelloni gang, square-jawed British Royal Marine art historian/world's deadliest sniper John Savage and his voluptuous young modern art critic/Navajo linguist Samantha Silver cursed architect/interior designer/writer/educator Frank Lloyd Wright for designing such a circuitous route out of the building.

Maybe, but again, one of the hallmarks of an industry about to be disrupted is confidence that some feature or other is absolutely critical, when in fact there's a segment that doesn't care. That segment can (sometimes, of course none of this is certain) buoy up the new solution until it eventually picks up the supposed critical feature as well.

Of course, "disruption" seems to be one of those things where if someone says out loud that they're going to do it, rather than just talking about the customers they can help, they're probably full of it. Without those customers who are happy with the cheap, janky, new solution, it's just hot air. But I would be careful not to judge disruption as a theory by BS artists who just imitate its terminology.
Typescript is compiled away. There are certainly issues with VSCode, but TS isn't one of them.
Create AI based presents without complicated prompt engineering. Our model in the background does automatic prompt expansion to save yourself some time. Additionally, when you order we scale-up the generated images using AI models to 2048x2048px, so you have crisp quality.

Create t-shirts, mousepads, postcards, stickers, etc. using state of the art image generation AI.
I hear a lot of people talking about the Fediverse of many different technical backgrounds. It's true it would take a huge event to get non-technical people interested in the Fediverse - but that's exactly what I'm seeing.

They're not a solution in search of a problem. They're a solution a small, dedicated group of people have cared deeply about, but most people have ignored. But people have been unsatisfied with the centralized aspects of social media for a long time. They're not stupid; they see the way the algorithms are designed for engagement, and the toxicity that causes. They see how fragile it is that someone like Musk can just swoop in and sabotage the platform.

Network effects have made it difficult to adopt a decentralized solution. Well - lots of communities are looking for a home they won't have to leave for the same reason they did before. That's creating network effects in the opposite direction.

If you'd said this to me a few weeks ago I'd have been inclined to believe it. But things are in flux. Maybe the Fediverse won't take off, but it has a very really shot right now.
Of their paid products? They all seem a bit new/still in preview/...?
Yeah but then no one believes in free speech. It was much worse before, and the people who are leaving Twitter were the ones (presumably) justifying that other censorship.

My perspective is that at least now it's out in the open.
vi and emacs have certainly had more impact to date, but at the current moment VSCode far outcompetes it on every front. That doesn't mean that there aren't people who still prefer vi or emacs, the same way that some people still ride horses despite the fact that cars exist.
Hi there,

I am a co-author of the mentioned work and very surprised (but pleased) to see it here.

I think that this is a good overview!

On the material part the sweet spot is the transition from assemblies of particles to forming a continuous path (film).

For the application you indeed need sunlight.
The sun is a strong radiation source!

Putting your face under a light bulb might cause other issues.

Glasses is here the most accessible example to illustrate the work from the research to the application. I think we can get creative about other use cases.
In their original post on his suspension they didn't think they had a good argument for suspending Trump based on the current situation. They had to resort to a hyper-partisan reading of "To all of those who have asked, I will not be going to the Inauguration on January 20th." [0] for example, rather than an appeal to something more reasonably interpreted as dangerous.

Then the so-called "Twitter Files" [1] provide confirmation of what we already sort-of knew that the inside of Twitter was a highly partisan environment creating internal pressures to boot Trump for political reasons, looking for excuses and testing attempts blindly. Note that the process outlined to ban him was to keep testing tweets, the policy team returned "no violation", then they tried the next tweet. Then eventually the executive got impatient and seem to have overruled the process to get him kicked off.

Compared to that, what Musk is doing is rather mundane and palatable. It is more or less up front that he doesn't like the journalists targeting his affairs, and isn't politically motivated or likely to be meaningful.

It has been a couple of years now, there was a big investigation that turned up nothing. Trump is running for president again the usual way and just launched an NFT token so it is pretty clear he wasn't seriously plotting a revolution. Their interpretation of Jan 6 was wrong, partisan and material.

I am not purporting that the H-1B program has no effect on tech wages, just that it has a negligible effect due to its small cap relative to the number of tech jobs available.

Any increase in labor supply would have some effect on the wage level in an industry.
The coating is just a few nanometers thin. Price wouldn't be the main issue there.
That isn't funny at all, the whole problem is that both parties are the same. They do the "bad cop good cop" routine, the cops are working for the same team.
I like JSX too, it allows multiple composable components in the same file, but Sveltekit support for typescript has been amazing so far, the whole framework has been written with typescript in mind and it shows.

Having a strong ownership can become toxic very quickly.

I agree, but its also less valuable (money today is worth more than money tomorrow). It's a tax management strategy, I just don't find it "evil" and find the arguments that taxes aren't paid to be a bit false (less taxes in the end, but not no taxes, so perhaps my phrasing of "fully taxed" is also a bit off, not fully taxed at the level of the giver). The only way to get around it would be to hurt charities in general (which perhaps the more socialist amongst us would have zero problem with, but I personally think would be bad for society).
Lean supports coinduction, which allows you to write programs which run indefinitely. This even allows you to embed Turing-completeness, it just has to be declared as potentially non-terminating up-front.

I appreciate every project I come across that has contributors lists using Unicode, or documentation or other resources.

It's a reminder that we live in a shared world.

And if we start seeing more keywords in alternative scripts...

That's more improvement in strong typing, IDEs, LSP, dev containers, static analysis and a slew of related technologies. It's exhausting, but it seems a little more fair than the URL debate. Of course there will be human auditing and approval advancements there that are exploitable. But it is what it is.

>> All good tools need getting to know them

> Wrong. Good tools don't require that.

So any tool that is complicated enough to use that it requires more than 5 minutes to understand can't be a good tool? That is just false.

Obviously vim is not the tool for you (and emacs probably isn't either). You don't like the way they work, so don't use them. They are not bad tools. They are both very good tools. They are just not tools that fit your preferences. They do fit other people's preferences.

The software you mentioned were pioneers in their category. On the other hand, VSCode had the benefit of learning from the many IDES in the saturated market that came before it. If VSCode was one of the first IDE it would not look anywhere near the same because it wouldn't be able to lean on the lessons of past IDEs like it does today.
You are saying an IDE (of which there are many wayyy better) is as equally important as a technology which helped save thousands of lives? Do you really think VSCode is an equally big achievement as building space stations?

peoples lives are more important than a few hours of a programmers life getting used to vim (or any other non VSCode editor)

EDIT: Even millions, and thats only one of thousand technologies that improve our life (expectancy)

I recently got new glasses after 5 years, I almost never wet them before wiping them, and I usually wipe them with my t-shirt.

Weak standard lib is poor approach imo.

Supply chains are real and being scared to design good API that will survive test of time sounds like poor excuse

At worst you could steal API design from some mature and battle tested base class libs like .net
Many apps have lots of feature flags that can be turned on and off based on what the API says.

Also used for things like A/B testing.
Are there many customers running Oracle on POWER systems? My gut feeling would have been these are typically DB2 customers.
Giving your app a try, but it's a bit of a price hike compared to my current feed reader (Inoreader), though seems like it might be an improvement. Do you have any plans to introduce a "lite" tier without the likely costly advanced features (TTS, GPT-3 summaries, etc)? All my sources (RSS, Hackernews, Reddit, Twitter, YouTube, h-feeds, newsletters) are already RSS, some through free 3rd party tools (like killthenewsletter and granary.io) so I wouldn't miss those features either.

As an aside (and maybe this is my inner Unix proponent talking), architecturally it would be much cooler if some of these things were separated into smaller microservice-style products, e.g. a URL that you pass a YouTube URL to and it gives back an "article" with video and transcript. Then you can chain that URL with another that gives a GPT-3 TLDR on top (perhaps even passing your own API key to keep provider costs down/free). Seem like killer use cases for Cloudflare Workers. If in the end everything's RSS, users can have their choice of readers and still have cool features, though of course that would make your product less compelling.
The proposal needs to go further and expand the scope of the rules to stock options as well, which is where most of citadels revenue comes from, being the contraparty to options trades of robinhood yolos.

Let's own up to the fact that we have (1) cults of personality, (2) oligarchs, and (3) clear patterns of affecting social change via diktat rather than political dialogue, in our midst, in the West. (The latter was the bone of contention of the current 'supreme leader' of Twitter.)

All are usually held to be signs of underdeveloped institutions and culturally induced (with negative connotations).

What could these missing institutions be? (We do -not- want a ministry of truth, so what else?)

Where/how did we fail in our educational and cultural activities to end up with the 'heroic supreme leader' tendencies emerging in the West?
IBM must have felt that there is a market, and one that would be able to justify the upgrade. Some spreadsheet must have the number that says "This is how how many core at this price point, where this product makes more sense than dealing with Oracles licensing".

The article does conclude with this interesting observation:

Be aware that the SE2 license does not offer access to all Oracle database features.
Oracle's EE license offers access to more, and more powerful, features.

Which makes IBM's statement of general direction a little odd:
why create a powerful CPU for a low-end database?

can you please help people to move away from google monopoly on the browsers by having a full featured firefox addon?

>Rapid Reply requires Google Chrome

again, i am not advocating for "no chrome" but "supports both firefox and chrome".... your work will give people choice, otherwise your inability to take that small extra step to building and maintaining a firefox addon is essentially forcing all your customers on to chrome, then someone will say "all users only use chrome and we have data to back that up", on and on....

this looks cool and stuff but as i said, work on supporting firefox and help reduce the browser monopoly of chrome/google...

Reading such posts really makes me wonder how people wrote UNIX (up to V7) with just ed and an ASR33. And productive, they were.
