Not really religious these days, but I concur about the Left Behind books. Fascinating interpretation of the end times story, placing it firmly in today's world. I still remember how it described dealing with "boiling seas" plague, how the main character captured condensation from the AC unit to survive. In all the "sci-fi" I've read through the years, there aren't many stories that stick with me like that did.
Yes, but.

Now, you’re getting the inflection of the interpreter and not the speaker (derivative). Certainly you’re not hearing inflection on the original orator, either, so maybe it’s a mixed bag.
Why is this a good complexity check?
Feedbin for sync and for email ingest. A key fact about this is that unlike Feedly and Newsblur, it keeps old content indefinitely. That means that if I don't check feeds for a while, or something is too heavy to read one month, I don't lose it forever.

iOS: Unread, which is just supremely beautiful. I'm amazed that the "double tap to mark read/unread" interaction isn't standard.

Mac: Reeder, which is nice and flexible though not perfect.
The process you are describing can be automated a bit.

Imagine your feed reader automatically subscribes you to feeds of articles you liked (star/thumbs up/favorite). Let's say you start subscribed to an HN feed of items that got more than 100 upvotes: https://hnrss.org/newest?points=100&count=100
Then you find the OP link and like it in your feed reader: https://www.niemanlab.org/2022/12/this-is-the-year-of-the-rs...
Your reader automatically subscribes you to the source feed of this article: https://feeds.feedburner.com/NiemanJournalismLab

You like more content => you get subscribed to more feeds automatically.

Your feed reader can also take care of unsubscribing you from feeds that are posting too often or are not posting interesting to you content. If you don't like the content of a feed for awhile then your connection to that feed becomes weaker and the content from that feed is ranked less prominently. The content from feeds with a high signal-to-noise ratio (ie, how often you like content from that feed) is ranked higher for you.

This is how my little project https://linklonk.com works. If you'd like to give it a try: "thumb up" a few items from the above HN feed: https://linklonk.com/feed?url=https:%2F%2Fhnrss.org%2Fnewest... and then check your recommendations on the home page.

Through this mechanism I am currently subscribed to 201 RSS feeds and I know that I won't miss content from high "signal-to-noise ratio" feeds. Here is a sample of my top feeds:

I haven't tried a new one, but good to hear you've had good luck. We have one that belonged to my wife's grandmother. We've been using it about 12 years. It started to perform poorly about 8 years ago, and was replaced with something new at the time. When the new one turned out to be unable to actually open a can, I ended up oiling and sharpening the swing away, and it performed like new. It started deteriorating again recently, so I saved myself the frustration and just did the maintenance again. Hopefully I'll be good for another 8 years or so.
That's not quite right. You can still access KF if your ISP isn't peering with CenturyLink which recently gave in to a pressure campaign. There's not a single court order or law in the United States forbidding an ISP from routing packets to them.
I do feel as if the whole fuss about "income inequality" is just some kind of psyop by the rich. Income inequality isn't shit compared to wealth inequality, but you never see these news outlets complaining about that... Reducing income inequality just hurts the middle class.
He was always a Trump-like persona whose audience tended towards the same demographic.
It’s like a baseball game. Most people have no at-bats. They are stuck on the bench. They have no capital and no way to build up enough capital to try a business.

Some people have one at-bat. They save some capital, take their swing, and maybe get a base hit, maybe strike out. If they are lucky, they hit a home run and end up set for life.

The rich get an infinite number of at-bats. They can just swing and swing until they hit their home run, then swing again. Then they write books about how hard work and hustling can make anyone a millionaire.
Super strange to run into this - I've been using Dosbox Staging with MASM611 to do some MASM x86 assembly.

I really want to understand the original packet driver assembly code; once I understand it, I can write a little packet driver (just as a learning exercise).

I love when stuff like this (something very related) gets posted. Sheesh, HN is great.
> It's just clearly not a $250M bond.

It is, in fact, a $250M bail bond, people just have a very wrong mental model, based on a bad generalization from an already slightly wrong mental model of the terms when an arms-length bail agent provides surety to the court for the defendant, of what that means.
I've had the same thought and took it even further. The cloud companies are in the business of managing capital, namely datacenters. They are not in the business of designing µarchs; to the extent that they do (ie. Graviton) it is to lower costs. For this reason I belive it is economically favorable for them to jointly create and fund an open µarch. Note thay they are already doing this through a middleman known as the Intel/AMD monopoly. Also note that a similar thing has happened already with Linux. Collectively throwing a few hundred million at the problem (or buying sifive, for example) could save money in the long run. Although I can't be certain about that.

I hope someone pitches this idea to these companies. I think some people at Google may be thinking in this direction being that they are paying for tape out of open hardware at no cost to the developers and are investing in tooling.

Feedly on the web, and Reeder or NetNewsWire on mobile. I keep meaning to try Unread as well.

Both of the mobile options integrate with Feedly for sync'd read/unread status, etc.

> What a weird argument you're making

What argument do you think I'm making? The argument I'm trying to make is that an article serving as an explainer of a complex legal topic should be factually correct, even if it complicates the desired narrative. Do you disagree with this?

> Would you extend a 250M credit to someone who offers you 11.8M in illiquid assets?

As to the bigger question of whether this bail arrangement is reasonable, I don't think we have enough information yet. $250M is an arbitrary large number, and I don't think a percentage is important. The real question is whether whatever agreement has been made is sufficient to pressure Sam into showing up for the trial. Personally, I'm worried that he may still have control of sufficient funds that he can afford to flee and repay in excess whoever takes the loss. But depending on who the unnamed unrelated party (or parties?) are, and what other assets are available for collection, maybe this worry is unfounded. I think we should call attention to the possible impropriety of the arrangement, apply pressure to find out the missing details, but reserve judgement until we know more.

New technology taking my job is the least of my concerns here. In my opinion there is simply a bifurcation of software underway: traditional programming on one side, and training/learning-based technologies on the other.

Traditional software will continue to be chosen when we want predictable, unbiased, mechanical execution of instructions. There are many areas where this is preferred, and I don't see that changing. Mechanical and later silicon calculation devices are invaluable for their speed, but the greatest benefit is that they are predictable and consistent: they do not make errors unless the design is in error.

AI, machine learning, and other training/learning-based technologies also have many useful and tantalizing applications. For applications such as those that enhance productivity, provide entertainment (e.g. art and music), or autonomously perform tasks where mistakes can be tolerated, these training/learning-based technologies will reap great things.

However, for many applications we don't want a complex device, whose behavior, while it can be ostensibly tested, cannot be completely understood and examined to be provably correct. Or, whose faulty action cannot be definitively reproduced and root-caused after a mishap. Or, whose 'black-box' can be infected or influenced by bad actors in a manner that is undetectable.

I don't ever want to see a radiation dosing machine that is clever, an industrial control process that is expected to be trained to infer its own decisions where injury or life is at stake, nor do I wish to argue with a machine to open my pod bay door.

Alternatively, perhaps legal precedent will just establish the degree to which machines are allowed to make mistakes, and if they make fewer than a human, we will just accept the cost/benefit of injury, loss of life, or evil as 'practical', and move on. 'Actuary Shrugged'?

The most ominous prospect is if humanity fails to evolve past war and conflict faster than this technology's destructive capability. Maybe Fermi will get his answer.

Sounds like something SBF would find reasonable.

Sure and I use that feature... But, you aren't thinking like a hacker.

Leaking one site could allow someone access into another site. For example, if I've integrated API keys from one site into another. It is those sorts of targets that hackers really look for.
RSS, at the time of Google Reader, was, imho, really buffed up by the addition of Google Buzz for commenting contents with your social network.

Agreed. I am just describing reality not what it ought to be.

Also, supply and demand is universal and incentives for exploitation by suppliers increases when demand increases.

> Be very clear you are insecure (new) about your performance on their technology but that you are willing to learn. Disclosing your emotions transparently is an olive branch towards building trust.

This sounds dangerous. It can make them doubt their choice in hiring me.

> Take on challenging tasks at risk that you will probably fail early on and be willing to ask for help. These kinds of risks are not a problem so long as it does not risk the health of the product.

This sounds dangerous too, wouldn't it make sense to take on some easier jobs to get a hang of the system and then take on the complicated stuff?

If I join and fail immediately, idk how i could recover from it. First impressions are last impressions.
Ken White has a lawsplainer article about this bail thing coming out today; I'd assume it'll be more informative than what Coindesk comes up with.
He didn't destroy money, he transferred it from whoever trusted him to the people he bought things from or made losing trades with on the market. He destroyed wealth by directing it away from honest business, and that's very hard to quantify the effects of. If I had to guess how he justifies it all in his head, it's that he was taking money away from the financial sector and giving it to the Future Fund.

This is an absolute guess because I don't know, but I think a lot of it was average joe crypto-curious investors having their money stolen and then given to the smart financial firms who were on the winning side of his secret bad bets. There may also have been some pension fund involvement because they seem to be caught up in this stuff on a regular basis. (Because of the way bonuses work, managers can skim off the top by investing in known Ponzi schemes and taking the credit for the 20% returns. They know they're not going to have to pay those bonuses back when they're inevitably "surprised." This happened with Madoff and was a big contributor to his success.)
Feedly's great. A huge plus is that most mobile reader apps seem to be able to sync with it.
Extending a large unsecured personal bond to a fraudster seems pretty useless and I think laypeople can recognize that.

Boeing had the "tin benders" for structural engineers, and the "tube benders" for the hydraulics engineers.

I link to Bandwidth Alliance to emphasize that there is a way to lower a CDN bill. On my previous job we served video via AWS CloudFront and even negotiated a special price for that and S3.

Any CDN with their own object storage will hanlde heavy lifting of audio, it is not a big deal and not that expensive to the point of making a garden variety CDN on Digital Ocean or other cloud provider nonsensical.

> For an associate professor of communications, the writing is absolutely atrocious. I can’t make heads or tails of this rambling multitude of grammatical errors, passive aggressive insults, and buzz-word saturated soup.

Is that true? Heads or tails? Seemed trivial to understand this for me.

Oh, and you still don't get that it's saying that 2023 will be the rise of the RSS reader? I thought that was pretty obvious.

> I have no idea why it’s here

Here on HN? Because someone shared it and people upvoted it. That's how HN works.

Or do you mean on the site? I think we've discussed that already.

> Especially if you don’t want to confuse your reader, and actually express a clear thesis.

I don't think it was meant to convince you of anything. It was merely predictions. A simple question, and simple answers, shared online. It's not complicated.

I'm doing the same for your comment, for similar reasons.

Note: Don't like the tone of this comment? Just reflecting the energy you put out.
sure, they could "keep it running", except it would get no new features and refinement, and would operate in a static (stagnant, as the world keeps moving on) barebones version. would it also be able to scale with increase in visitor traffic? would it be able to deal with increase in media uploads, or would it have to limit or freeze them? what about inflation and increase in hosting prices, and prices of everything else? if your vision for wikipedia is a text-based website with feature set from 2007 - and just that, maybe it could run for even longer.

The court is not a creditor and your credit worthiness (thankfully for most folks) does not apply in court. The court is taking the promise of property (defined widely) should Sam fail to appear. This system, if the value is high enough, will keep him in the country to face justice.

Pool – group decisions made easy
Hey everyone!

I built pool (https://usepool.app/) to let groups make decisions in a faster, more democratic way.

The inspiration for this product came when my friends and I were trying to figure out what to eat for dinner together. We were going back and forth and could not figure out what we wanted to eat due to 1) having too many options and 2) no one wanting to be too opinionated.

Pool fixes this issue by letting people only choose between 2 options at a time so there isn't any risk of "choice overload."

Since this poll is completely anonymous, there is no risk of anyone feeling like they are too opinionated.

Feel free to use this in whatever way you want — figuring out what to eat with friends, what to do with friends, what gift to buy for a friend, etc.

Should I grow this into a bigger product? Let me know
I define a hack as a use of something in a way it was not intended to be used to achieve a goal. This definition is missing from this essay, and the ones it does present are poor IMO. Under my definition, hacking falls entirely in domain of the Lisp programmer. Fortran engineers are the ones who get fired for hacking.

There is nothing inherently wrong with the "Fortran" approach. Sometimes, it is necessary. But it's clear that the Lisp-style solution is always preferable unless proven inadequate for the problem at hand.

It's different from state to state. In IL, for example, (until recently) someone awaiting trail would give the government 10% directly and the state would act as their own bondsman as bondsmen/bounty hunters are illegal. If they were deemed a low flight risk they could also be released on an "i-bond" aka "released on your own recognisance" meaning they're just trusting you to show up to trials.

I said "until recently" because IL became the first state to entirely outlaw cash bail this past election because heavily favors the wealthy and can destroy innocent people's lives while they wait in jail for trial. Now they can only hold someone if they can demonstrate that they are likely to offend again if released.
