Yes I know, but that's why the comment above was so bad. Claiming that "it's all rigged anyway" with no proof is not a useful way to add to a discussion. You can make such a comment on every single topic. Just claim it's rigged because who knows, you don't like the person or you think he's bad or you have a gut feeling you want to share.
I’d say quite a lot. Anecdata etc, but over the last 24 hours I’ve had a new follower roughly every 10 mins, all new accounts. Never seen that level of activity before.
In mid-October the instance I co-admin had 2K accounts, about 600 of which were active.

We now have about 12K accounts with around half active. We've grown in fits'n'starts, and in the last 72 hours we've had about 800 new accounts.

>And all this started because we prodded them to become NATO member.

This is victim blaming. I'm in the Czech Republic right now, ask anyone here if they want the Russians back? There's Ukrainian flags everywhere here and no one dreams of giving up support.

Nearly every formerly communist country that's remotely functional has joined or wants to join NATO, because absolutely no one wants "Russky Mir".
So the second "F" in "FIFA" stands for "Soccer"? ;)
Which OS are you on? I am on macOS and it is worse.
It was really jarring when I got my M1 Pro MacBook and switching resolutions on the internal display was literally instant. No black screen between the switch whatsoever, it was just there. Makes you wonder what else we've been missing out on all this time.
I hope this ridiculous debacle helps to show all the Twitter addicts that they don't really need that website in their lives.

Depends on who you include in "twitter addicts". I'd bet most Twitter users have barely even noticed. The interesting thing is that the group who care the most and are the most angry about it, who I will refer to as the "league of blue checkmarks", are also the group who most derive their own personal power and influence from Twitter, discouraging them from leaving.

It makes some sense, when you have more options than you can handle you just stop thinking. There was this case with stores that sold jars of jam explained by Cialdini which shows that when people meet multiple decisions they often decline them all.

You will either need to only charge once a few days, or if you are lucky, charge overnight at your home or during work. No car will need to be charged every 60 minutes.
They have several tiers of it I believe, the best one also offers automatic lane change, like BMW, it was actually working perfectly fine for me, with no back and forth bouncing - it had the annoying <steer a bit or I don't think you are holding the steering wheel> feature (Karoq 2018) - but newer models I think also have capacitive steering wheel, so you can only touch it.
Many may be, but as other comments state, arguments against solipsism don't all rely on behavior/performance:

Some non-Turing test arguments against solipsism.

- Humans are believed to be similar to me in origin

- Humans are made of the same physical stuff that I am made of

I personally think none of these conclusively solve the hard problem but they can motivate belief if you so choose.

Even so,

Requiring a Turing test to believe other humans as thinking/conscious seems uncommon to me. I don't think many people live in solipsistic doubt about other humans, and I don't think they actually test behaviors to convince themselves humans are conscious.

So I don't know if they're tacitly accepting the behavior as useful for categorization; I think they're mostly just assuming "humans == conscious" and if pressed will come up with behaviors-based explanation because that's easy to formulate.

Twitter Users Vote for Musk to Step Down as Chief in Poll
Isn't Lithium obtained from salt-water evaporation pools?
If all that matters is to recognize the best team, then why bother with a knockoit stage, or even a world cup tournament? Just collate stats. The point is to play the game, and if both teams are evenly matched in regular play, to move to an acceptable tiebreaker so that someone wins. France has still come a very close 2nd place, which the tournament does reflect.
I would rather have feature allowing you to browse other instances from the UI in your home instance, so you don't need to go off-site for that.

Yes as in leave? I don't have access to see the poll anymore as I deleted my account.
Same with me for Electron, I wouldn't know but for the HN comments. They added an SSH agent to their macOS clients a while ago, at least for me that was a pretty big improvement. They also added features for sharing passwords with others who aren't in your 1Password Team/Family/whatever, and that's really slick and useful too. I'm a bit disappointed in their 1password secrets automation thingy since there seems to be no free tier to play with it, but it's good to see them grow into that direction since that may alleviate the pressure to profit squeeze their password manager offering to death.

But I guess you have to keep in mind they are in an ongoing pivot to cloud and that understandably disgruntles those of their customers who have a strong aversion to cloudy products. If you look at 1Password as a standalone app for managing local vaults synced via dropbox, I guess you could argue it's kinda shitty by now and getting worse, and every cloud feature is a net-negative in that view. If I had to guess I'd say most people want a cloud solution these days, but I guess that may be what's behind a lot of the negative sentiment. Or maybe not, but as someone who buys 1Password Family for the cloudy features, has used it a lot at work and doesn't have a single local vault, I'm a very happy customer and I've yet to run into a non-trivial bug with v8.

> Stil 4x as long as any serious proposal

I'd love to see this serious proposal that says we can globally replace fossil fuels with intermittents and 4 hours of energy storage.

> That's a very nice double standard where the technology that actually exists and has a tens of GWh/yr supply chain already 90% built has to have already solved the problem to be feasible, but vague hand waving at reactor designs and fuel cycles that don't even exist as a prototype get a pass.

You're conflating my explanation for why U/Th supplies are not a concern with your assumption for what my proposed solution is. PWRs are sufficient for today and can be built today. We can and should work on new reactors and fuel cycles that don't just leave 90% of the energy on the table. US energy usage alone is 26,400 TWh a year. 10's of GWh a year may as well not get out of bed.

JavaScript 101: An Introduction to the Basics and Fundamentals of the Language
One man’s explanation of human behavior isn’t an objective reading of reality, that’s why it’s known as a theory. It’s possible other people, like me, are very familiar with Marxist theory and choose to reject it on a variety of grounds. Referencing one philosopher and noting that it’s strange others don’t agree with them is sort of funny - one could bring up Kant or Martin Luther or Rand or any other influential thinker using the exact same framing.

My current (Samsung) display is a pain to switch off. If I forget and switch the PC off first, it goes to sleep and starts blinking its annoying bright blue LED, which I managed to disable when it's on or off, but not when it's asleep. To get it to switch off I have to wake it up, wait until it cycles through all its inputs, gives up and shows me the menu, from which I can finally turn it off.

Yup, yes as in leave.
In Finland, time of day electric use meters have existed for something like 20 years. Someone I know who lived north of the arctic circle had a home heating system that would heat up an energy storage box (I forget if it was an oil tank or simply stone) at night and then cycle the heat out to the house during the daytime.

The big thing I see with a ton of arguments about changing the way we produce and consume energy assume that things will change overnight and the whole system will come crashing down because it's not ready.

Perfect is the enemy of good. Things aren't going to happen overnight, there will be a transition period.

Electric vehicle transition is a good example of this.
* OMG, the grid will crash with all the charging.
* OMG, You won't be able to charge it <because reasons>.
* OMG, it doesn't solve <random gas car use case here>.

The transition to electric vehicles is coming, but slowly. It basically started at 0 in 2010 and a decade later it's still only at 2-5% in the US and something like 5-10% in the EU, China, etc. The ball is just getting rolling.

The grid hasn't crashed, charging is getting deployed where there's demand, and not every <random gas car use case here> needs to be solved now, or even in the mid term future.
Naw, I used to party with the founder. It got wild.

The problem back then in 2004-2005 was that his DSL could give him a new IP lease anytime so it couldn't really be automated away without having a dyndns script running on his computer, which would never work.
I can’t think of any tools that allowed building a social graph. It was a novelty back in 00 and it was nice to have your close circle be easily discoverable and reachable. In a sense of discoverability social media was a benefit to many, many people. Before that it was ICQ/other ims and email only. And before that I had to write down the contact details; I remember having physical notebooks with addresses and phone numbers of people, back in early 90s. Don’t you think it was a nice thing to finally be able to easily connect with people?

Before Russia invaded Ukraine the U.S. was already prodding to deny Russia access to its Crimean naval bases. This was why Russia saw no other option than to invade and take the Crimea from Ukraine. This is what actually started the ball rolling.
I've noticed that people here on HN and Reddit talk bad about Social Media in general, but also forget that there's literally millions if not billions of people who have no idea who Elon Musk or Mark Z. are, but still use these social media platforms.

If I talk to my mom and asks her about Facebook; She loves it because she can message other family members with photos and stuff.

So to answer your question with my opinion, yes, social media has connected us globally and locally, even with all the issues that you and I are aware of, but most people aren't.

One question to android team members if any of them read this comment.

Why does the battery saver mode in Android Go require the phone to operate in dark mode? It claims that this will save the power. However it is not true in most cases as majority of low cost Android Go phones have IPS display, not AMOLED display.

What is the technical or business reasonings of this feature? a misunderstanding from teams within google? or the fact that dark mode can save power for both IPS and AMOLED displays?
Because its a pretty necklace?
Chamath has his SPACs and Calacanis has his syndicate. They know how to craft deals that benefit them over other investors. I assume Sacks does the same with his investments.

Maybe solving your problem in other ways:

0: I use `ddcutil` (on Linux), it takes about 2 seconds for the switch: `ddcutil -b $bus setvcp 0x60 $source`

1: Use something like NoMachine or VLC - would probably cause more problems if you've got devices that go into power-save mode

2: Ensuring that your devices are outputting the exact same mode may decrease the time.

> more than 5 million degrees Fahrenheit (3 million Celsius) – about 100 times hotter than the surface of the Sun

As my fear of Crichton's Gell-Mann Amnesia sets in, I'm being pedantic: either its about 545 times hotter than the surface of the sun (5.500°C) or they've reached "only" 0.55 million degrees Celsius.

Also: its only 519 times hotter than the surface of the sun when using absolute temperature (5.778 K).
It’s hard to separate Marxism from the USSR in the same way it’s difficult to separate facism from Nazi Germany, I think. I don’t see how one can reasonably separate a predominant ideology from the empire that popularized it.

If you read my other comment you will see my line of reasoning. At no point have I denigrated racing drivers, so there's no need to rush to their defence.
> clean fusion power

From what I understand, practical routes to fusion all produce a lot of fast neutrons, and tritium. The neutrons make the surrounding equipment radioactive, and create toxic elements. The tritium is itself toxic, and is hard to contain. And the high neutron flux means that such a machine could easily be used to create weapons-grade plutonium, by irradiating uranium. And come decommissioning time, the reactor itself is a pile of toxic waste that will need long-term storage.

I don't believe that fusion is inherently dirty; just that none of the technologies currently being investigated can be described as "clean". And they all run the risk of nuclear proliferation.

IANAP.
Yes, though for private self-hosting it seems entirely free.

It's one of those subscription services I'm willing to pay for (I'm not right now, because I'm way under the threshold of even the cheapest paid option). It automates the boring parts of a process that I'd otherwise be able to do on my own, using the same open-source tools they're using (Wireguard). The value proposition is very clear here.
Ask HN: Recommended reading for IC transitioning to Manager track
Some context:

I'm a Software Engineer turned Data Engineer working in big tech (not MAANG) who has recently committed to (as in agreed with my manager) transition to being a manager next year.

The motivation for the change (which I think is important to share) is twofold:
1. The team needs it. We're growing ito ICs and we need to grow our managers to scale sustainably.
2. My core strengths are better aligned to a strategic role than an IC one. I tend to step back and ask "why", get clear on needs, think a couple steps ahead and look for reasons to say no, which often lands me into deep conversations with my manager which inevitably distracts me from getting really stuck into the technical details.
I don't think it's rigged at all. But I also think it's an extremely convenient excuse if it votes Yes - that's all.

That would be the first time for a big company to make a morally sound decision, though.
Why not do a major announcement with the working prototype though, is what's ringing the alarm bells for me. Yeah sure they can promise the next prototype will do the magic thing but why not wait for that.
It's because Macs (almost) always output the native resolution of the display. What you are changing is the draw resolution or scaled resolution.

Assuming those exist.
It is highly unlikely that an entity like Google would not have control of the Google namespace with the scheme I am talking about, as it is clear what google is referred to as and this mechanism would eventually “settle” on the most correct names for each entity.

But if you don’t care about the entity and are talking generic names, like “search” or “market” it allows for a novel way of applying the namespace to the “best” one in a moment, without relying on a central party like an app store to tell us.

It also introduces a self-governance, eliminates stale squatting, gives better tech a chance, and eliminates the ability for authoritarian and bureaucratic entities from controlling namespaces. Who is ICANN really accountable to? If someone makes a site that is disruptive to the “national security” of powerful governments, by being more democratic and representative but stripping away their / corporate power, do you think the current system would just allow it to live?

We need new technologies that can handle fighting against the tyranny of small, unelected boards who subtly influence all of us in seemingly innocuous ways. The way we fight against it is by architecting implicitly democratic systems, bypassing these parasitic middlemen and replacing all of them with mathematically sound code.

There are some tradeoffs. We could go back and forth through this concept and discover a new weakness in the convenience, mainly for business. One might say “well, what about addressability for emails or federated identities” and, one by one, with some thought, these things could be resolved. But the core of the solution eliminates entire classes of putrid rot in the existing mechanism.

The rot I speak of is mostly unseen by people. It stifles innovation with stagnation, where squatters and “I got here first” eliminate the possibilities. This makes those possibilities completely hidden and stifled. Entrenched forces have no reason to innovate or progress. They are rewarded merely for existing, without any forces capable of opposing them without also being entrenched, or begging another entrenched force to aid them.

I can go on and on about the topic, but coming back to “globally stable addresses,” I think that this mechanism can be likened to an iterative / numerical method which, when given time, settles on the correct answer. Once a domain has settled, it would experience stability. And perhaps, when taken in conjunction with the existing system I’d want to see this mechanism replace, we already have “stable” names that come at cost. It isn’t like that would immediately go away. Every technology I talk about is voluntary, at a fundamental level no one should be coerced, whether by force or by implicit means, to use something.

I very much hope that Ukraine wins this war, but won't lose any sleep over it if they don't.

I sincerely believe the problem started when the U.S. government Think Tanks in Washington decided Russia should be split up into smaller states without nuclear capability. U.S. policy has been to turn that concept into reality by surrounding Russia with NATO states on its borders and threatening it in the hope its population would rebel and making it ripe for breakup.
Can someone please steelman the argument that language can be harmful, because I just don’t get it.

There’s physical and psychological harm, clearly it’s not physical so it’s saying that people are being harmed in a psychological way from a certain type of language.

Ok, so are they developing disorders, or what kind of harm are we talking about? My understanding is that we’re talking about language that causes offense, discomfort, things of that nature.

So if you’re going to pursue this line of thought, where do you draw the line? Whose discomfort do you take into account, what offense is enough?
