Engineers are totally afraid of marketing. They think it's slimy and gross. But if you want people to use your product, you need to tell people about it.

All modern social networking and aggregator marketing that isn't ad-slot purchased, astroturfing, or some variation can be summed up as:

When your project is relevant to discussion, share it.

For example, I publish a niche product. The largest pure Lua game engine on the market. When people talk about game engines, usually 2D game engines, or multiplayer networking, I usually talk about Planimeter Game Engine 2D.[1]

Since ours is one of the few game engines (period) on the market that ships, out of the box, with full client-side prediction and reconciliation without a developer having to write their own networking code, and that's a pretty big deal for young or hobbyist developers, it's pretty easy to see why you might want to consider Planimeter's software instead.

Does Godot do that? No. Does Unity? No. Did you know that even Unreal Engine 5.1 has unreliable player movement out of the box? Yep. You're on your own with all three of the major game engines that are typically discussed. None of them do multiplayer client-side prediction for you, or in Unreal's case, they don't care if it's unreliable and your player jumps around everywhere--by design. Seriously.

None of those guys care at all about multiplayer. What they care about is marketing their photorealistic rendering pipelines. Except young hobbyist developers don't publish photorealistic games. They want to publish multiplayer games they can play with their friends.

And because there are so many pieces of game software out there, and there are larger competitors by two orders of magnitude above our offerings, I usually have to bring up our product more often to share alternatives with people.

The key is finding relevant times to share, versus spamming. Share when you release updates, share during discussions, go to places talking about the topic you're writing for.

See? Just like that. There was a topic at hand, marketing, I shared my experience with you, it was relevant, I didn't buy an ad slot, and hopefully you got something out of it.

If anything, the value of your degree would increase? If things start to accelerate, someone would need to maintain these AIs, and you'd be in position to help them.
The Zettelkasten method was created initially by a professor to do his research work.

This may be part of the difference; Luhmann wrote like 70 books or something.

I am torn actually unsure on what would be morally correct:

1. I, as an individual, am allowed to deny entry to persons I dislike from my private property.

2. I, as an individual, am allowed to deny entry to persons affiliated with a business I dislike from my private property.

3. I, as a business owner (eg: a restaurant), am allowed to deny entry to persons I dislike (eg: a previous patron who was violent) from my business.

4. I, as a business owner (eg: a restaurant), should I not be allowed to deny entry to persons affiliated with a business I dislike (eg: the next door restaurant employee who is copying my menu) from my business?
You are assuming "public health" is the actual goal, which is obviously wrong. Any government which lets the NSA spy on its citizens obviously wants social control via knowledge over the digital lives of their citizens.

It may be hard to accept but "covid conspiracy theorists" were obviously right when they claimed that the push for digitized health measures was partially due to the government wanting to collect that data for themselves. I find it somewhat funny and quite unnerving to see "this once the government actually needs our data" messaging.
nodejs, postgres and react?
If I were an advanced civilization with some sort of jump technology, I'd have probes jump to different solar systems for only a few milliseconds, which would be more than enough time to collect technosignatures. I wouldn't wait to for the technosignatures to come to me.
If you've achieved enlightenment and freedom from all desire, then it's a bit weird that you're posting on Internet forums. If not, presumably you'd quite like to not be turned into a paperclip.
Alternatively, imagine demanding that everyone champion and perpetuate systems of thought and speech that support delusion and undermine real mental wellbeing.
Current AI models are like an airplane and programming jobs are like flying to the moon. No number of incremental advancements on current technology are going to replace programming jobs. That only seems possible if you don't understand the details.

You need a catalogically different technology (a rocket) to do space travel.

A layperson seeing the first airplane and rapid advancement in that industry could easily think, "look we've been flying higher and higher, soon airplanes will fly to other planets." If you were to point out that that's not how airplanes work they might retort that people used to think flight was impossible at all.

We're at the Wright flyer in 1903 moment in ML/AI right now. It will get a lot better an change many things but it will ultimately still be just a tool of programming rather than a replacement for it until someone invents AGI, and even as someone who is optimistic about that happening, I'd guess we're still decades away.
Was seeing how far I had to scroll to find this perfect quote. How long before all the required readings are banned? I don't understand how you could run a philosophy course without immediately offending someone at this rate.
Exporting is different than "being stored in". Since it does not represent the full state of the data, no.
Finally a killer feature for the compressed air cars
I worked tangential to a service like this. Every month or so we had to update a library that would verify phone numbers as new phone blocks were setup by providers. It was a huge pain in the butt. If we missed upgrading, we'd inevitably start getting customer complaints that their phone wasn't being accepted.
Won't be long until the Government puts themselves in charge of this, making sure you only communicate with approved sources. For the children, of course. And terrorists, or something.
I will be testing it with Marmot (https://github.com/maxpert/marmot) to help scale Wordpress when needed! IMO Wordpress + SQLite is a no brainer for 95% of its sites. Hopefully do a demo video. Marmot will help folks scale their sites without central MySQLs.
Interesting. I think she knows she has no case, but realized her eviction put them in violation of their liquor license, fighting back where it really hurt. Banning lawyers might not be the best idea.

The Story of the Nintendo Power Glove (2015)
I've seen the New York Times and CNN do the same thing.

I'm pretty sure that it's standard "journalistic integrity" stuff.
I'm not sure if that is available out of the box, I haven't seen it if it is. But the killer feature of Obsidian is the community plugin ecosystem. I would be surprised if a plugin isn't available soon so make this happen.
Lots of pro-life organizations actually do meaningfully help children after they are born. I regularly give money to a pregnancy center that buys car-seats for low-income moms. But that would get in the way of the story.
I would rather we banned short-term AirBNB types alongside neo-vagabond car campers. The last thing I need to is to wonder what no-goodness is going on outside my stoop.
Ah okay I understood (I think), Grafana and grafana-image-render are two different things, the second is only a plug-in to render the images using chromium, as you noted. But you can’t build a separate app to build the images, because you will have to run Grafana + the plug-in on a server. The images are rendered from the Grafana not from the local browser, indeed I don’t have to run a browser/chrome/anything, just tell to Grafana to render locally the png with the query.

If you want to render the image from your local browser, yes you can, but this is another story.
I like French's other work a lot, but I couldn't get past the similarities to The Secret History in the Likeness. It really feels like fan fiction. (There's nothing wrong with Fan Fiction! But I found it distracting.)
> they are on very shaky ground to ban someone unless they misrepresented who they were when buying the ticket.

Then I suppose it will come down to whether the ticket terms included a clause that the purchaser/attendee was not employed by a firm involved in a lawsuit against MSGE.
I think you'd have a nightmare of a time getting this adopted into any standards body. Constant frame rate is so fundamental to a lot of pieces throughout.
I wouldn't be so sure of this. There are countless examples of businesses applying gross discrimination practices for generations, and only stopping when forced to by the government.
What does that bode for Mexican Americans or Asian Americans?
That just means a bunch of newbies dependent on deep-pocketed support for their first campaigns, and it'd be one of the few scenarios in which we punish job experience.

D'oh, I forgot about those. I'll edit the post.
Why exactly does having strong rivals on your borders make you any less likely to become a superpower? Is your argument that before China gets strong enough to be considered a superpower, their neighbors will invade them? Or is that they’ll feel insecure about their borders, and allocate resources to their military rather than economic development?

Both arguments seem far-fetched. War with one’s neighbors is never guaranteed, even though there’s a risk of it. And they’d have to spend an unrealistically huge portion of their gdp on border defense for that to make development impossible.

Does this not support at least the weak hypothesis?
> You fault him for not knowing "there's no sex in the Champaign room"

No, I fault him for being an entitled asshole.

> I recommend that you don't look into the sex lives of famous and admirable thinkers through out history.

The greater the man, the greater the shadow. That is why I am reluctant to admire _any_ great person. You are absolutely right that the more you dig, the more you learn how flawed everyone is. My problem is that there is an uncritical deification of Feynman that seeks to whitewash the aspects of his personality that were far less than admirable.

> We take pleasure in out-smarting the our so-called superiors.

And thus mirror exactly the behavior that you don't like about them.

To me, Feynman epitomizes smart but not wise. I cannot hold a candle to him when it comes to understanding the physical laws of nature, but almost nothing I have ever heard from him actually helps me a better human, which is not true of some other great thinkers. YMMV of course.
2022 YC Year in Review
My post was mostly in jest. I’m well aware the “method_missing” crew has no desire to statically analyze their programs.
Combine your two conclusions and sex (material reality) ceases to exist yet non-binary (an identity, not a sex) is to be respected as if it is a hard biological fact. After all, you don't decide to be non-binary, you just are. Yet this does not apply to sex.

It's almost as if reality, facts, logic, consistency don't matter. Which is postmodernism. A power struggle.
That might be the intent, but in a lot of ways it expresses the opposite. For at least half of the terms flagged by this page, one would have to construe the meaning uncharitably for it to be a problem. If I call someone a paraplegic, I only imply that the person cannot walk, not that the person cannot accomplish other great things. If you try to tell me that I meant that that person isn't a person at all, then you are the one being unkind, not me. It is not the case that "masters enslaved people" - some masters did, but some masters also served as teachers to an apprentice, and if you tell me that I meant the kind that enslaved people when I clearly meant the kind that taught apprentices, then you are the unkind one, not me.
If you want to keep dpkg, apt, DEBs, etc., you can use Linux Mint, which doesn't have Snaps, unless you add it.

This also lets you download and install DEBs manually from projects that support Debian or Ubuntu DEBs but aren't in the official repos yet.
The OP has nothing to do with Weinstein. Perhaps you were mistaken about what you were replying to?

In any case:

(a) Harvey Weinstein was convicted of three counts, including rape.

(b) A lack of a conviction absolutely does not mean that the allegation didn't happen. It isn't an either-or that the jury decides between. The only thing they decide is whether it was proven beyond a reasonable doubt. Viewing it otherwise is dangerous, because it leads people to decide criminal cases based on which version they think is more likely, effectively transforming the criminal justice system to use a "preponderance of the evidence" standard.

I am building a tool to help consumers (and businesses) reduce waste after witnessing the ugliness of the waste crisis and wanting to do something about it. If you're interested in updates or giving feedback, please signup at zero-day.app.

Fart noises, I think?
57.5% to 42.5% would be considered a landslide in any election, certainly any modern election. What evidence do you have that the results were manipulated and how do you square this belief with Elon's claim to have dealt with the bots? Was the poll to reinstate Trump's account similarly suspect?
If a string (or a file or whatever) is "just" an array (of bytes; characters, again: whatever), then yes.

You can stack the items under "Trusted to monetize access to:" in one row, instead of a column. It'll reduce page height and make the page scroll-free. While you are at it, please reduce the size of those giant icons.
Twitter got rid of that right after the Musk takeover.

(Although I think a softer version of it reappeared for a short bit…)
I can say that I've never had trouble traveling to rural areas outside of the U.S. - things like buses are widely used because cars and especially gas prices shift the tradeoffs.
>MSG instituted a straightforward policy that precludes attorneys pursuing active litigation against the Company from attending events at our venues until that litigation has been resolved.

While it's reasonable to disagree with this policy, it's not really related to social dystopia, so I think it's dramatic to lament this in the vein of "today it's this, tomorrow it will be getting banned due to Tweeting about your politics", or whatever. I mean, yes, that may happen, but the only thing concerning about this case is the tech itself, and not necessarily the rationale under which it was deployed.
I love Rails and how simple and boring[0] it is, and appreciate how it keeps evolving and growing. I've dabbled with some Javascript frameworks and Elixir/Phoenix, but always come back to Rails and forget just how fast and productive I can be. A lot of people complain about it, but I feel like Active Record just can't be beat, and helps me feel so productive. Add Stimulus and Turbo and the level of UI fidelity possible is impressive.

Is there a leading theory about what the physical reality of wavefunction collapse is?

Completely agree. I think part of it stems from looking GoDaddy-ish.
You might want to have a look at this article that mentions a couple of open-source alternatives: https://nlpcloud.com/chatgpt-open-source-alternatives.html
None of them are easy to self-host though...
I think the real issue is that until recently 'they' was considered a plural pronoun, whereas the gender revolutionaries want it to now be considered a singular pronoun.
If you think Hey’s UI is bad, you should try Basecamp
Safety critical decisions aren’t binary. It’s generally a case where each bad decision makes choosing the next correct decision harder, but pilots do recover from some extreme situations.

A better model is perhaps how accurate do you need to be to avoid 10 tails in a row when flipping 10,000 coins every week for 30 years.
"At the top of the MLM pyramid, Greenwood is said to have earned $21 million per month." An eye-watering amount if true.

Also (as per usual) The Register includes this tongue-in-cheek comment

"For information that leads to her [Dr. Ruja Ignatova's] arrest, the US Federal Bureau of Investigation is offering a reward of $100,000 – in fiat currency".

AI may take over all programming jobs one day (assuming we don’t destroy human civilization first), but we’re still at the Ford Model T stage of AI development. Do you think in a few years we’d just have CEOs mumbling to AIs and nobody in between? Far more likely is that developers will use AI enabled tools to generate more and better quality code in the same amount of time. In that scenario, having a Master’s in ML/AI would absolutely be an advantage.
Yup, I was hoping this would make it to 7-1 but I suppose there were too many cases to consider.

I wonder if certain features could be marked as "experimental" by Rails core like they do in Ruby, and include them without the promise that the API would be stable (or even be present at all in the future).
Because it works. Human brains are fairly bad at detecting non sequiturs. Even with practice it is still hard, because the brain does not want to activate the expensive rational thought system unless there is a good reason. If you can get it to activate that expensive system, it is often then easy to see through, but that is a tall bar.
I had never heard of FIRE before, and assumed they were going to rank free speech by prominence of conservative idea representation on campus as most of these types of rankings tend to do.

I was pleasantly surprised to find that was not the case. Schools with high acceptance of conservative speakers trend lower on the list. The highest ranking schools are typically the ones close to the middle. Thanks for sharing.
The less dramatic version of 2 is a bouncer saying "no, you're friends with Bob, and Bob always causes trouble."
I’ve never seen a more productive stack. Enables me to build complete apps as a single dev - which would take 2x-5x of the time and effort if using separate front end apps. Ruby makes me happy when I use it. Hotwire and Stimulus let me create front end interactions without a separate SPA. The ecosystem is mature and well maintained. Absolutely love it.
Think twice before hiring QA for your startup
How do you suppose they got her photo (and associated it with her identity)? Is there someone at MSG (or their facial recognition vendor) whose job it is to look her up on Facebook (Or her employer’s “about” page)?
And Harvey Pekar I guess, I love American Splendor.

However a lot of those people had already "made it" in some sense, but they became notable in old(er) age.
I don't refuse to use "they". I refuse to make "they" the default pronoun for referring to other people.
I used nokogiri in Ruby on Rails in 2015 and since, and have never had a problem installing nokogiri.
My guess is that Jack rolled some shares into the deal to keep the option of being the rescue CEO in play. But not to be Elon's boy. If the banks end up owning Twitter, they will need a CEO.
Periodicity is a clear signal that is useful for natural objects like pulsars. I think it would be very clear that analog videos are periodic at the line level and periodic at the frame level. If somebody gets the idea of plotting signals on a grid they will get a sequence of frames. Even creature that don’t see the way we do might develop some kind of raster basted signal processing.

On top of that TV signals would have additional periodicity because the transmitters will be hidden behind the Earth once every 24 hours.
A quality Computer Science degree will cover AI and, therefore, will be one of the best investments in this case.
I don’t understand why people think term limits will work. Now you just have a revolving door of people that are in the pockets of special interest groups.

I’ve never seen a convincing argument for term limits and I don’t think they should exist. If you have a good representative they should be able to stay in that job for as long as the electorate wants. Your qualms are with other parts of the election process like first past the post and inability to recall reps when they’re no longer doing their job well.
There are big differences between sport motorcycling and pleasure motorcycling and aviation. If I'm just touring the countryside and my front wheel gets a little loose, I am going to dial everything way back. But if I am on the track and the front isn't at least a little bit squirrelly in every corner, then I'm going to dial it up. Even if I bin it on the track, I am likely to walk away. But if an aviator makes a critical error they're going to be dead.
Possibly habit? Uttering the dread word ‘Elon’ on Twitter tends to summon his devotees, and no-one needs that. Personally I prefer ‘Saint Car’; clear in context, but no-one greps twitter for it.
To save you a click, the actual headline is "Help us test the SQLite implementation", and the news is that WordPress developers are asking (urging!) hosts, plugin authors, and theme developers to test the implementation and report bugs.

The most interesting bit for me: "The SQLite code used has been in use for many years and has been battle-tested. We opted to start with a tried solution instead of starting from scratch because many of the problems we would have encountered have already been addressed and solved in the pre-existing implementation."
Many on HN have been telling us that most software jobs do not require a CS education and, unfortunately, they're not really wrong about that. However, those jobs are the first that will be replaced with AI. Given that you have a CS education, you should be able to identify whether you're in jeopardy or not by how much of it you're using and you are also in a better position to leverage that education to move to another subfield of the software industry if you are. A MS in CS can help you with that.

As for fallback careers, I'd say go with plumbing. A trustworthy plumber will never go hungry.
Many if not most "hard" science cultures (math, physics, etc.) have a strong undercurrent of competitive gamesmanship. In its worst form, it becomes about vanquishing your rivals more than it is truly about advancing the human condition. I believe this is a factor in driving many people out of the field, including many extremely talented women. The womanizing is consistent with this culture even if it doesn't always come out directly in lectures or papers.

Also, I have direct experience with this having spent time in some of the most prestigious academic institutions in the US. I can assure you that the culture I'm describing exists. As a postdoc, my supervisor was so insecure that he would go out of his way to undermine me publicly and he was one of the leading scientists in his field and in his 70s at the time. There were also good, generous people, but as the old saying goes a rotten apple can spoil the lot.
