> Literally everything you're saying is wildly biased hyperbole or just outright unsubstantiated. I can't take this back and forth seriously if you're going to come it in such bad faith

It's "wildly biased hyperbole" to point out Elon's unsavoury behavior?

The fact you're claiming I'm wildly biased but won't so much as acknowledge anything I've mentioned that paints him in a bad light is laughable.
Thank you for the extra perspective. Print is something very hard to replace, it just feels great to hold and touch!
I'd prefer that we not all pretend that 2000-year-old religions somehow magically dictated that vaccines were bad. They obviously didn't. These obviously are not legitimate "religious" beliefs. Religion is transparently being used as a cloak for political beliefs fueled by misinformation.

Taking covid-related "religious" beliefs seriously only undercuts societal respect for actual religious belief.
14.7, had the same experience once, where the next number bubbled up to awareness right when I picked the previous one. It felt like "I" wasn't picking the next number.
I legitimately can't think of a way Elon can spin this. This is beyond free speech hypocrisy.

Plunderers; well put. Capitalists cant lie their way to infinite growth forcasts and suck all the wealth into 401ks that do nothing but rob everyone elses grand children. Its a cycle that has been going on since existance itself, an ebb and flow that accelerates, crashes, and takes off again leaving its wake humanity as we know it.

Sadly the bars no longer serve liquor, due to incidents.
What's under attack is the notion that humans are special - that there's some kind of magic to them that is fundamentally impossible to replicate. No wonder there's a full-blown moral panic about this.

Having deployed DBT Core I am glad I spent the effort to set up self hosting with ci/cd for both dbt runs and docs.

A point of frustration I have is the idea that Data Analysts need a specialized cloud based ide to work in because vscode and git is too difficult to learn. I worked at a large company where analysts would complain the database was down due to the cloud ide falling over and stop work until it is fixed. Meanwhile the group of us using a local ide and a jdbc connection kept working.

Any good data analyst should be able to use vscode and git. Any good data engineer should be able to setup the ci/cd side to the point for the analyst doesn't need to think about deployment.

Analyst writes code -> creates pr when ready to test -> pr builds models into temp location and runs tests -> analyst iterates -> pr review -> merge to main -> deploy to prod runner
With md5 hashes, the actual password isn’t there whereas base64 encoding is merely another way of representing the same bits. Yes md5 is weak, but it’s Fort Knox compared to base64.
What's odd about that? Capitalism, of which VC is the pointy end, is unapologetically nihilistic.
Yes. Especially when they put it in quotation marks and pretend that others said it, when they didn't.
A lot of users on these are opening up public instances, rather than their own. I don't see a huge amount of "host mastodon for yourself on your own domain" people.

I went this route (via https://marketplace.digitalocean.com/apps/mastodon - I would have used masto.host otherwise). Im keeping an eye on Takahe (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33731739) as hosting mastodon is kind of expensive, for the type of use I make of it.
Which business schools teach this, prominently?

I have my own distaste of "MBA Culture" but one thing I would not say is that they teach people to ignore the business and not learn it. From what I've learned, is completely orthogonal to what they teach you in any regionally accredited business school what you are asserting here.
Twitter also suspended mastodon's account.

Can you really say twitter, when its clearly Musk who's doing this?

I really hope Mastodon will get some momentum now.

California needs efficient grid storage to solve the problem, e.g. good old fashioned pumped water batteries. There is an excess of power from solar during the day, and my guess is that the power companies don’t want it because it just lowers energy prices and the energy can’t be stored for off hours. Those with home storage, such as EV’s or power walls, should be just fine. I’m sure that big agricultural concerns have contingencies ready to go if the state doesn’t kick in.
PyTorch and JAX are used heavily in climate science on the ML side. For more general analytics, not so much. Many of our users like to use Xarray as a high-level API. There has been some work to integrate Xarray with PyTorch (https://github.com/pydata/xarray/issues/3232) but we're not there yet.

The Python Array API standard should help align these different back-ends: https://data-apis.org/array-api/latest/
I agree that it's not really worth it, but the answer is not to choose a worse option. The answer is the just not implement it.

These options are bad, and CSS does not need this.
It also shows mortality rates per 100,000. That's what I was referring to. For example, here are the rates of all-cause mortality for the most last month they released, May 2022, for the 40-49 group:

- Unvaccinated: 64.1

- One dose: 171.5

- Two doses: 106.4

- Three doses: 83.7
Some did, others did not. But those who did could still use the entire engineering corpus of knowledge they have studied towards their goal, even if they learned it from those who would not approve.
The cartoon image would be of Elon scrolling through Twitter and spite-banning and spite-unbanning accounts in real time and according to his whim. This cartoon image is also the one that feels increasingly more likely to be true.

As an artist who makes money from selling art, I find the panic to be ridiculous. The tide doesn't wait for you. Find new ways of understanding and creating art, move with the flow, don't stand in one place, shouting at the Gods to, "stop this damn technological advancement!" serves no purpose. It's not protesting, it's fear of the unknown.
...yes? That's exactly what's happening.

And no one is claiming the government needs to repeal or change any laws and force Elon to do anything, either. They're just leaving.
It is hard to follow the chains of banning because they happen so fast, but @donie was apparently suspended for posting a quote from LAPD: "LAPD's Threat Management Unit (TMU) is aware of the situation and tweet by Elon Musk and is in contact with his representatives and security team. No crime reports have been filed yet."

Then @MattBinder posted "uh i just shared this straight news update just posted by @donie and moments later he's suspended" (with a screenshot of that) and got banned himself.

So it's not just links to ElonJet, or links to reporting about that, it's anything Elon related.

That place is burning up fast.
> I fail to see the skill level in someone working on the web knowing about interrupts

As a firmware/app guy I'm not qualified on talking about relative skill sets between different areas of cloud development. I agree that interrupts/threads aren't important at all to the person writing a web interface, should have found a better example. I'm not here to argue, for sure there are talented people up and down the stack.

What I can tell you is that I'm amazed at the mistakes I see this new generation of junior programmers making, the kind of stuff indicating they have little understanding of how computers actually actually work.

As an example, I continue to run into young devs that don't have any idea of what numeric over/underflow is. We do a lot of IoT and edge computing, so ranges/limits/size of the data being passed around matters a lot. Attempting to explain the concept reveals that a great many of them have no mental concept of how a computer even holds a number (let alone different variable sizes, types, signed/unsigned etc). When you explain that variables are a fixed size and don't have unlimited range, it's a revelation to many of them.

Sometimes they'll argue that this stuff doesn't matter, even as as you're showing them the error in their code. They feel the problem is that the other devs built it wrong, chose the wrong language or tool for the problem at hand etc. We had a dev (wrote test scripts) that would argue with his boss that everyone (including app and firmware teams) should ditch their languages and write everything in python, where mistakes can't be made. He was dead serious, ended up quitting out of frustration. I'm sure that was a personality problem, but still, the lack of basic understanding astounded us, and the phrase "knows enough to be dangerous" comes to mind.

I find it strange that there is a new type of programmer that knows very little about how computers actually work. I find it stranger that they are even a bit productive in their careers, although I suspect it's because the problem domains they work in are much more tolerant to these kinds of errors. CI/CD system is setup to catch/fix their problems, and hence the job positions can tolerate what used to be considered a below average programmer. Efficient? No. Good enough? Sure.

I suspect some of these positions can be automated before the others can.
I'm optimistic that the Deck will just have more "mod parts" later on, maybe including a better screen. It's so repair-friendly you can buy hall effect joysticks made for the Deck and switch them out.

With the abundance of repurposed displays by Waveshare and co., maybe someone will some day come up with a better display module?

I imagine being able to create new behavioural trends linked to emerging business value.

I read serious PR literature and see parallels with the emerging literature on social tipping dynamics.

How could this social dynamics be materialised? How to steer them while creating value?
Being a member of a community has always implied having a useful role to fulfill in that community. Hunting, gathering, caring for children, healer, priest, leader, storyteller.

AI and robotics is on course to automate all those things. Then how will we define our roles in our communities?
I personally think you it’s very difficult be an SRE who doesn’t come from a software engineering background. To me an SRE needs to come from a background that includes extensive coding and architecture experience.

To me, the worst SREs are the folks who come from the DevOps side whose experience is limited to pipelines and infrastructure as code type stuff. They invent solutions that just don’t work.
That GUI button that says "Create" hits way way different in this era of AI-produced art.
This sounds great on paper, but you would still run into a few major problems:

- the network effect or how do you get a critical mass of users

- moderation/abuse prevention since its distributed

Imagine someone uploads CSAM and now muliple people unwillingly and unknowingly have their computers redstribute it (become mirrors) or re-upload it to cloud storage.

In addition, most of these points are wet dreams for the average HNer, but the vast majority of people don't care about the company structure, if its truly distributed, nor if you're running FOSS.
They care about who is already there (chicken-egg problem) or about some innovative feature.
For example say you own an online store with thousands of products and you want to implement search. What you can do is for each product you can feed the name and description into the model to get an embedding. When people type in a search query you convert their query into an embedding and then find the 10 closest embeddings.
This won't help. The app's function makes it easy to train it on any artist I want. If I want, I can train it on any of the images that are removed. Also, the images available from all the past artists are enough to let the software continue to function as well as it has. It doesn't need any of the living artist to function.
Option 5 already does this by prefixing the top-level selector with @nest.

> But in its lawsuit, the government claimed Arizona was trespassing on federal lands.

> Governor Ducey has previously said that his state would remove the shipping containers, which he described as a temporary barrier, but he has asked the Biden administration for a timeline on when it will fill remaining gaps in the permanent border wall.

So was this symbolic gesture funded by AZ taxpayers? Sounds like a huge mess and a liability the state should have seen coming.

The article photo also doesn't do the wall justice IMO. Other photos make it more clear that the wall looks more precisely like a half-assed environmental disaster...
Is that for a complete cell or just an electrode? If it's not specified, you can bet it's just for the electrode. Complete cell is what matters (or to be strictly true, a full battery... but that's another story).

Plus the voltage difference... IIRC, Na-S is 2.1V compared to 3.7V nominal for Lithium-ion, high voltage versions sometimes up to 4.35V max voltage. Perhaps a factor of 2 difference in voltage, plus it's only counting a portion of the cell mass.
So empathy as in being considerate they are losing their jobs right? Not that AI art generation is inherently a bad thing? Or that they or I can doing anything about it?
I get the sense that a lot of these suspensions are due to the moderation teams within twitter being decimated, and instead having all this functionality automated within Twitter.
My entire issue actually has nothing to do with health, and everything to do with authoritarianism.

Before the vaccine mandates and coercion I had a seething hatred of corrupt and incompetent little tyrants in positions of power, afterward was nothing new, it just confirmed what I already knew about them. I don't care if I would have a statistically better outcome with the vaccine, I took great pleasure in standing up and defying their bullying and coercion. The wailing and the gnashing of teeth and name calling and crocodile tears from these pathetic clowns about people not getting vaccinated really warmed my heart gave me great pleasure and has mentally helped me tremendously in the past few years. I'm actually starting to feel a bit sad they're slithering back into their holes now, I was hoping for a showdown, but these people are nothing if not cowards like all bullies so this is to be expected.

What surprised me more was how many and how quickly people folded, or never even had any concerns in the first place. Obviously a good portion of the population are a meek and subservient type who want to be ruled and protected. After that a good number are flighty and will panic and run with the heard if something spooks them, sadly a trait that's easily exploited. I really should not have been surprised though, I've seen the same dynamic play out time and time again to start wars, invade privacy, take rights, and take money so irrational optimism that it would be different next time is my failing.
"No-one ever died because of social media" was garbage when pg said it, and this is yet more evidence.

One Hadoop installation for the company. When you provision a messaging topic or storage instance in production, it's automatically replicated to a corresponding table in the "raw" namespace in the warehouse. Teams can check in Airflow jobs to build modeled/derived tables, downstream of those, as desired. Modeled tables go in team namespaces and teams can set their ACLs. Any tables you have access to, you can select/join in the same Hive or Presto query. It works well - it's kind of mystifying to hear about places with many different data warehouses or federating data between different parts of the company. Big advantages to centralization here.

I don't favor arbitrary requirement for studies but I think it's fair to acknowledge that whatever has grown organically over the years does have legitimate reasons why it's the way that it is, even if it wasn't master planned (arguably it probably makes more sense if it evolved) and so you cant really assume that the status quo can be dismissed just because it's not consciously deliberate
I think this comes from the broader general fact that we have all lived through recessions (e.g. 2008 housing crisis) very differently with very different outcomes.

I often view these statements with knee jerk cynicism (though I recognize it as such) because too often you read about layoffs while executives get golden parachutes. Why should the CEO get the 30 million payout to leave the failing company while everyone else gets comparative peanuts and loses their job.

I can sympathize a bit with why people feel bitter about these things.

I also know some business owners and people who run start ups, those who do it with integrity do have genuine feelings they have to process around this. I try to also remember that not everyone is Jack Welch.

There's a separate question of whether the AI model, once trained on a copyrighted input, constitutes a derived work of that input. In cases where the model can, with the right prompt, produce a near-identical (as far as humans are concerned) image to the input, it's hard to see how it is not just a special case of compression; and, of course, compressed images are still protected by copyright.
Last time I looked into Mastodon (a couple years ago), I found a small, specific community that piqued my interest. Months later, the owner of the instance lost interest and closed it. In the end I never registered, but, what would have happened if I did and started to use it in my day to day? Would I wake up one day to find out that I no longer have a Mastodon account?

I feel the response might be something akin to "what would happen if you have a fastmail account and then fastmail closes?". If that's the case, I see absolutely no reason to choose a small instance, just for the sake of reliability and trust in its continued operation.
From what I've seen of Twitter screenshots, some of these journalists (such as Drew Harwell) were simply covering the suspension of @joinmastodon (discussion of which is occurring at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34007012).

Steve Keen is a (retired) Australian economist who has held some senior positions at institutions around the world.

He holds heterodoxical views on a number of economic topics and has predicted, several times, the collapse of the Australian economy due to the continued strong growth in the housing market.

Is he wrong about climate science? Not sure, but it's not his area of expertise. However I also suggest that the IPCC are not a trusted source (IMO) in this argument, especially given they are essentially a political tool rather than a scientific one.
