I was going to comment that I remember it being the opposite: it was _so_ slow that I would find myself losing my place in the number I was trying to dial and having to hang up and start over.

But then again, maybe that does mean I was less likely to end up dialing the wrong number.

That said, the phenomenon of dialing the wrong number was already well known when everyone was still using rotary dials, so maybe it’s not such a strength after all.
Thanks for the detailed explanation! Second Life sounds really cool now. I didn't realize there was all this dynamic downloading of assets and a marketplace for it.
Sounds like you’ve been mislead about both the relevant contents of Hunters’ laptop (“10% for the big guy”) as well as the content that the FBI and CIA were directing Twitter employees to censor. The best way to get better educated on the topic would be to read the Twitter Files releases yourself.
> If anything, human life got remarkably longer in the last century.

Well, yes and no. That we live longer than our ancestors seems obvious and is a very common belief.

And average life expectancy has indeed increased.

But it really isn’t that clear cut.

finally my time spent on r/estoration is going to be useful!

Steps I would suggest:

* High Quality Scans: Set your scanner to the highest possible DPI and scan in TIFF (You can resort to using the compressed formats as they are usually good enough, but TIFF will be the highest possible quality)

* Categorise them according to what you want to do to them: Colorisation, Repair, Enhance.

* Colorisation: Try using some of the colorisation apps on the market (DeOldify is one of the first open source models to do it, but now there are tons of user friendly apps to do the same job)

* Repair: Commission someone off r/estorations or post a free request there. If the damage seems to be similar and you just need to apply the same “filters” to remove the effects, use the batch processing ability in your favourite photo editor

* Enhance: https://remini.ai is probably the best tool for this stuff

* Backups! Backups! Backups!: Don’t forget to backup all of these photos using the 3-2-1 method, and try to save the actual physical photos too.

If you have any more questions, feel free to ask me! My bio should have the relevant information so you can find a way to contact me

There's a gap between the political representation and what people on the left actually believe. The political representation definitely leans to the right compared to Western-European countries, for the most part anyway. But if I look at some of the discourse in American left-wing circles then ... yeah, I find some of it is pretty far out, and I typically vote things like the Socialist Party or Green Party (in a country where this actually means something).

I suspect this is due to a combination of 1) not having much power, being relatively "isolated" in the political debate, not having to compromise; 2) not having any actual experience with socialist/social-democracy reality, leading to an unnuanced utopian view of things; 3) a kind of response to some of the bonkers right-wing politics of the US.
Vote for a prime minister/party/president like you would employ someone: pick someone great and get the hell out of their way. Obviously they shouldn’t be a dictator: have a senate or parliament. I think we need tweaks to what we have now. Proportional presentation or even just preference voting goes along way to helping balance things out more fairly.
When are we technologically ready to have the real democracy where people can vote on every single bill instead of having their representatives to do so?
And hence no new features will ever be created, since training is only on existing code!
I can't help but remember a classical joke.

Two economics professors walk down a campus street, discussing the efficient markets hypothesis. One of them exclaims:

— Look, there's something green down there on the pavement; looks very much like a $20 bill!

— Nope, — answers the other, — it can't be. If that were indeed a $20 bill, somebody would have picked it up already!

The efficient market hypothesis postulates some kind of a static equilibrium. The reality is not static, and the processes that lead to a new equilibrium are neither instant nor independent of subject area knowledge. Due to this, during that last year's bull market, I made a ton of upside on stocks where I understood the business and could make sense of obscure tech news, and nearly nothing on stocks that otherwise seemed like winners and were recommended by likes of fool.com.
Eight studies reveal a bias in human imagination
Unfortunately, these are famous last words in a professional IT environment.

I've heard the exact same argument almost verbatim from a C-level exec who got fired after an outage. It was regarding backups and the infantesimal chance that we would have a power outage.

It fundamentally assumes a lot of critical things that you can't control. If you follow your own advice, you will eventually be wrong, and pay more for it than you would have otherwise.

As for undoing or applying changes, I've had nothing but praise for rpm, its pretty rock solid with the right setup, and better, because it is maintainable and supportable.

the fact is that American social media apps are allowed when they comply with Chinese laws (censorships). And Chinese apps are allowed in the US because they comply with US laws.
The cost of production should be much lower? Wonder if they could sell much higher at cheaper prices so the volume is actually incremental. Hope someone tries.
No, I went to a reasonably high-quality and cheap public university. There’s plenty of Stanford/Berkeley/MIT folks where I work and they seem happy with their choices as well.

I actually don’t think my parents care all that much whether I work at McKinsey or Google or wherever. They put me in music lessons because they thought it might be interesting, not because it would help me land the perfect corporate job. I doubt my parents even know what McKinsey is.
For most tasks the photoshop integrated AI restoration should work fine and it's included in the trial. For upscaling I would probably use an ESRANGAN or stablediffusion with the 1.5 weights.
Still cheaper than a family trip to the movie theater here, so worth it to me even if played for just one night.
Fault-Tolerant Stateful Code Platform
In addition to other events, Sun entered dotcom boom a bit from a wounded position due to high volume of recalls caused by radioactive cache in what was to be flagship processor. Meanwhile IBM had a lot more revenue streams (including still x86 machines on low end, AS/400 on middle size, and Mainframe and supercomputing business at the top) that weren't much impacted by fickle nature of dotcom.
Same can be said about anything written by humans on the internet.

Ask HN: GPT-3 and the Future of Advertising
Hello HN,

I am just curious. There are a couple of products (You, Perplexity.ai, and Neeva (soon)) that have recently launched a feature that summarizes articles and spits out answers. I'm wondering how creators, particularly news outlets, will get paid if search engines start taking their traffic?

Maybe completely new business models will need to be implemented?
> For what?

Management consulting and Investment/stock analysis are the first ones that pop into my mind. (With some sarcsam, but admittably way too little)
If done properly, the rich people's transportation could subsidize the poor people's transportation to an extent.
I did. Your problem is you read them without noticing the parts Taibbi was lying about ;)

The part where he mentioned posts being deleted without saying what they were for instance - you can look all those up on archive.org. They’re penises. The part today about the CIA is just nonsense.

Similarly, the laptop story was suppressed by Trump’s FBI because it sounds worse when you post vague insinuations about it then if you saw the real thing, an obvious fake[1]. You can look up the original “reporting” on the archive too - it comes from Guo Wengui, a Chinese billionaire friend of Giuliani, and it’s full of lurid writing about, again, the size of his penis[2] and claims it’s full of child porn. Are you willing to believe that’s real too? Either way, it’s a legal barrier to letting you see it…

This guy works at AWS. I’m guessing that’s the main reason he’s using it.
That mostly happens when they feel they don't get enough attention from you. Sometimes you really are busy with something else, like trying to prepare food for them or answering messages from your pestering boss. But often it is because you are trying to be clever at HN instead of giving them your undivided attention.
High temperatures? Air conditioning.

Low temperatures? Heating.

High humidity? Dehumidifiers.

Low humidity? Humidifiers.

Particulate matter? Air filters.

Bugs? Pest control. Bug screens. Traps. Mosquito treatments.

High energy use? Solar.

Lack of density? Sign me up. More privacy, less noise, lower crime rate, and fewer problems in general. No rude people constantly in a hurry.

The stuff there are no solutions for: hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, and natural disasters in general. Except for insurance, that is.
They could probably do better if they targeted schools. While having Fun seems to be the primary goal, there is a whole lot of Learning happening in many Games.
> Elon stated in various places that attempts such as PG's to break the rule (which is about the promotion of prohibited social media) without getting banned would not be tolerated.

The expectation is that you either break the rule and get suspended, or you don't break the rule and don't get suspended. This acccount didn't break the rule (or the ban evasion policy) as it was written but still got suspended because Twitter still deemed the tweet to be against its interests, even though Twitter didn't bother to codify this in the rule. Twitter can suspend any account on its platform for any reason it wants, of course, but the resulting backlash led to the account being unsuspended.

You resorting to personal attacks shows that you have lost the argument. If you still want to discuss this, there are other comments in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34044151, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34040165, and a bunch of other threads and subthreads. I am disengaging. Merry Christmas.
Arch makes things complicated by not having defaults. Leaving the user to pick a network management tool, partitioning scheme, many other things. It's all very well documented and aimed at understanding one's system. I give them that. But in some ways it seems to be intentionally complex for the sake of it. And the one thing I did want to change: systemd, is the one thing you can't. It took me 2 days to get a desktop running and I still ran into weird stuff.

On the contrary, FreeBSD also dumps you on a command line. But it does have defaults for most things and it took me only a few hours you set up because everything is guided better with the defaults in mind.

I really like the idea of a stable base OS with rolling software also, and the ports collection (which is quite similar to the AUR). But there's more ways to do manual and arch's isn't necessarily the best IMO.

In my area it is the case and I use it frequently.
What's going on with the scrollbar on that site? It disappears around a second after stopping scrolling. It even disappears if you're holding it and don't scroll for a second.
Personally, I go to https://boardgamegeek.com/ and filter for games based on what I’m looking for and then I sort by reviews. Add them to a list on Amazon and keep an eye out for sales (across multiple retailers), especially around Black Friday.
Super relevant. None of the OP even has to do with the author's average day so it's doubly disingenuous
The top 1000 richest people are probably not good examples for the rest of us. They're extreme outliers. Much like professional athletes few make it to the top 1000. The average Joe is not going to make it.
The term leaver is a common HR term. As in joiner, mover, leaver, being three different types of common HR actions (onboarding, team changes, and offboarding).
Here in SoCal the other year we were almost hitting 118 in August (killed almost all of my potted succulents, baked the roots) and that's BEFORE including the concrete factor.

I'm a Texas native. The temps in Texas are nothing like what California gets.

On the other hand, the rockhounding is far, FAR better out here in Cali. But you aren't doing that in the summer. You could do that in Texas in the summer out in the Llano uplift region.
I don't think you get what I was saying. Specifically ChatGPT, the current interface, is hilariously bad at lipograms. Nothing about other models, obviously you can build a model to model just about anything you like. I appreciate the link though, it will be fun to play with the huggingface example.

Edit: also that example isn't exactly sophisticated. It literally just retries until it finds an example that doesn't contain the banned letters, bit of a brute force method. Would be more interesting to build a new model from scratch that just completely omits the letters.
Here’s my perspective on life: dying is probably the whole point of your life, or perhaps coming to terms with it, and conquering your fear of it. All other forms of “importance” derive from this root.

- It is is unlikely anything you do will “matter”. Out of ~117 billion people to have ever lived over countless millennia, the lives of note throughout history are what? 10k? 100k? Even if it’s 1b meaningful lives that weren’t just an aggregate in the wave of babies, you’ve got a worse than 1% chance of being meaningful. Or, perhaps all lives are significant on a level we are incapable of comprehending. If it defies comprehension, what is the use in crafting a meaningful life?

- you have only the present, and your unreliable recollection of the past to mark your existence. The present is ephemeral, the past is mutable, and neither carry any clear indication that the experience of either matters beyond themselves. Time is sending us all beyond the threshold of both, as best we can tell. With such imperfect information, what planning can you rationally do? To quote Stephen Covey, if it is out of your hands, why worry?

- some of the largest structural entities mankind has ever built are based on the “afterlife” (ie religion), and many possess a concept of heaven and hell. In addition, there are more modern attempts to inspect the qualia of death. The notion of going to heaven or hell intersects with the notion of having a good trip or a bad trip. And of course now I have my shining Joe Rogan moment where I cite the huge DMT trip awaiting most of us (assuming your death not by complete annihilation, such as nuclear explosion, or other).

Therefore, the only thing that you really need to plan for is getting to the end of your road, and not having your exit DMT trip be sponsored by the ninth circle of hell, if you can.

In conclusion it really doesn’t matter. Time eternally marches forward, there are no actual stakes because everybody is damned. Include the notion that we as a society do a pretty dog job of (1) not producing fucked up people (2) not fucking people up as it all goes and (3) pledging to change that, so it’s basically just a daydream that mankind will ever transcend to be anything of transcendent/indisputable value. Don’t know how to phrase the last part.
but then what would stop the AI from running those verification as part of it's operations? Why does it need to be human run?

I think there's some level of halting problem equivalency here imho...
But will they add a "Please Buy Notepad" pop-up, like Sublime Text? I won't switch, otherwise.
Thank you for this take. I don’t live in California, but most of my family has this attitude of “California is the worst! Look how expensive it is.” It seems as if supply and demand has decided it’s a great place to live.

Edit: Not sure why this take would upset anyone. I didn’t say it was necessarily good or bad to live in California. All I said is that the average price of a home seems to dictate that people enjoy living there more than many other states.
Index funds are much lower risk. I would not call them gambling.
Half of the fun of using cli is using it with your own knowledge imo.

Using GPT3 makes it feel like I may as well use some GUI tool.

I understand gpt3 will/does save time and money but I actually like to code and to use my skills and knowledge to build and solve thingswith my own hands.

Maybe I'm an outlier here, but using some tool to do it for me doesn't sound like fun.

That Christmas is the day of Christ's birth itself was a sore subject after the Gregorian leap.

From Hervey's Book of Christmas ( https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/42622/pg42622-images.ht... ):

> In various parts of England, bees are popularly said to express their veneration for the Nativity by "singing," as it is called, in their hives at midnight, upon Christmas Eve: and in some places, particularly in Derbyshire, it is asserted that the watcher may hear the ringing of subterranean bells....

> We must not omit to mention that these supposed natural testimonies to the triumph of the time have been in some places used as means of divination on a very curious question. The change of style introduced into our calendars nearly a century ago, and by which Christmas Day was displaced from its ancient position therein, gave great dissatisfaction on many accounts, and on none more than that of its interference with this ancient festival. The fifth and sixth of January continued long to be observed as the true anniversary of the Nativity and its vigil; and the kneeling of the cattle, the humming of the bees, and the ringing of subterranean bells, were anxiously watched for authentications on this subject.
Dude, thank you! These are awesome recs and I'm going to check out every one. Much appreciate the time you took to compile that list!
Is it really irrelevant? ReiserFS withered when its namesake dev was jailed for murdering his wife. Perhaps he had good ideas but nobody wants to touch it with a 10 foot pole now. Who wants to support a murderer?

I also moved away from a major mobile OS since its main dev started a crusade about a competing project. I'll leave the details vague not to get into the discussion. But it gave me an uneasy feeling. Is this the guy I want to maintain critical code on my device?

I'm not aware of the suckless people but the idea that the personal lives of the devs don't matter is not something completely irrelevant IMO.
Go to Japan and take an intensive japanese course. Yamasa Institute in Okazaki is a great school.
I think it's good to recognize that both enterprises and individuals want to use and contribute to large projects like OpenStreetMap.

Overture's sponsors seem pretty focused around big company needs, like coordinating efforts between mapping orgs and standardizing metadata. They're each pledging $3M + 20 FTEs per year to accomplish it [1].

But I would argue it's more productive to coordinate enterprise+individual contributions through a central organization: the OSM foundation.

When io.js forked from Node.js in 2014, it was more of a call for attention than a desire to split the ecosystem in two. They merged the next year. (I joined the core dev team after the split.)

Maybe instead of asking what OSM will become after Overture, we should ask, why can't enterprises accomplish their goals within the framework of the OSM Foundation?

Disclaimer: my startup has a product built on OSM [2].

Not necessarily. The traditional windows model worked because everything has a keyboard shortcut. If you're doing some mildly repetitive task it's a simple step to learn the short cuts.

Increasingly though software is becoming 'easier' to use by removing things like shortcuts etc. Moving a mouse in the same way 100 times increases the mental burden over using whatever shortcut.
Putting a pair of sandbags in the back-end of an unloaded rear wheel drive pickup is not the same thing as driving a 9000 lb sedan.
If you wanted to wash your hands of the Bad Things this might do, I would put a disclaimer somewhere on the site and on the tool's output. Something along the lines of "Running commands produced by this tool may cause damage to your system. Please review each suggestion carefully." Otherwise someone is going to be very upset by a rogue suggestion.
Oh dear, what you were doing was just a little bit less than pointing at the CISO's nose and saying: "Look, you don't know what you are doing by choosing such a sh*tty product!" Of course, nothing going to happen. As any actions taken afterwards to mitigate the issues you highlighted can be and amlost for sure will be taken as evidence of failing to do his/her job. All office politics, nothing to do with facts.

You either didn't get to the end of the article or really missed the author's entire point.

She doesn't remotely seek to conflate her brother's mental illness to climate change. She is simply juxtaposing a personal experience with her brother to a professional observation she has(and sources).

Moreover, you clearly didn't read the whole thing because your entire last paragraph is filled with points she made and addressed in relation to her thesis regarding memory, both ecologically and humanistically.
Isn't the kind of completely non-commercial open source that they practice kinda akin to Marxism? Serious question.
This is well written, but is only 30 days worth of data.

$20/month, not including compute, is their starting point on AWS. As they get more followers and follow more people that will continue to grow.

My biggest suggestion is to disable the relay. I took experimented with using a public relay, but the stream of content it adds is very low value. Better to create a second account on the instance that is more aggressive about following people your only tangentially interested in. This will make your federated feed interesting, but keep your main feed more focused.

To the people suggesting DO/Linode. I'm a big supporter of Linode, however article has no egress or compute costs. Likely because it's a single user instance running on the free tier. Their costs are almost all storage related.
