This sort of thing is why, for all their faults, I think we need decentralisation and “crypto” to succeed.

We need to replace platforms like Kickstarter with standards and protocols so that shutting things down because someone doesn’t like them (or even preventing people from behaving illegally, especially if you’re not the cops) can be made impossible.

Let bad ideas be rejected by society, not blocked by someone claiming to act for society. Because inevitably they don’t represent everyone, and they always end up acting with self interest, no matter how good the initial intentions.
DWM (all caps) is also the name of the Windows display server post-XP.
With email, you don't go to email.com, click a sign up link, then get a list of hundreds of email providers to choose from.

Also, the precedent for people looking into Mastodon is not email users looking for a more real time email client. It's Twitter users looking for Twitter on not-Twitter.com
Thank goodness, it is a terribly annoying pop up that reminded me of surfing the net a decade ago. What is Google thinking? Thanks to DuckDuckGo for a great upgrade.
No, it always had worse track record than all competitors.

It's owned by a Private Equity firm, which means cutting all costs and selling hard until there's no money left to squeeze out of the corpse.

I don't think nomadic parenting time is really a useful comparison.
I mean I have seen tons of people complaining about the use of those models on social media. I don't think that people are only objecting to this project.

I don't agree with them, but I don't think its fair to say there hasn't been pushback on the other projects you mentioned.
Compare it to a printing press. If someone came to me and asked me to print pamphlets for [political party I dislike], I want to be able to say "no". Shouldn't we be asking more than "is it technically legal?" of the orgs we choose to do business with?
I'm pretty sure Kickstarter needs to put more time and attention to stop a project than letting one proceed, at this point.

What has really helped me is two things.

1. Condense. Much of good writing is simply signal/noise ratio!

First write a draft that says all you want to say. Then go over it again and again, removing/rephrasing un-needed words and syllables. 20% compression is a decent result.

2. "Rubber ducking". Imagine showing the text to someone likely to read it. I've developed an "inner stranger" I show text or code to. He doesn't have my specialized knowledge, but is reasonably smart.

Implied above is to always write a draft that you edit. Do NOT try to form a perfect text in your mind before writing!
LOL. You might want to do some research before committing to moving there.
100% lawyers have noticed. For example: they've been trying to automate discovery for a while now. I'm sure the new LLMs are making waves in those circles.

But also: lawyering is good money, and they're adept at navigating the law. So breaking into that space with some sort of "tech disruption" has a high chance of getting you (metaphorically) dismembered.
I'd be more worried about all the obvious scams that Kickstarter supports the same amount and ignores reports about because there's not enough publicity.
From what I heard, it’s because Springer et al. hired editors in India to cut costs…
I suppose signing up for Twitter is 1 step easier than Mastodon, because you just go to the one site. But it's actually incredibly hard to use and find value from; I suppose people have forgotten this because the small percentage of the Internet who liked Twitter figured it out 10 years ago and it seems "normal" now. The good news is, that'll make Mastodon fairly easy to use, too, since many conventions are similar, though Mastodon is easier in some ways. I am not a regular user of Mastodon but I already find it somewhat easier.

I attempted to derive value from Twitter on and off for, whatever, 10 years, and I still found it incredibly hard to use. I'm not a stupid person; obviously if I had a real reason to get used to it, I would have. Journalists, for example, "had to" use it, because they found it an incredibly easy shortcut to getting opinions from a populace that they assumed reflected a broad cross section of the world, even though it wasn't.

Confusing things:

* The reply format. If you reply to a tweet, your reply will be below the one you're replying to, which readers have to scroll UP from the beginning to see, even though the browser gives you the impression you're already at the top of the page. And there's a back arrow. But the back arrow takes you home, not to the parent post. And if you quote a tweet in your reply, it ends up below your words, indented out. That's the only indenting ever, and it's the only time your reply is above something, rather than below it.

* There are ads and suggested tweets everywhere, cluttering your feed.

* You don't know who to follow, or why you should follow people. People you follow might change their name every 5 minutes, so you can't remember who anyone is or was. You're told to follow important people, so during a volcanic explosion in Iceland, you follow an Icelandic volconologist, but the only content you see is stuff they quote-tweet or reply-tweet to with no context that's apparently an inside joke in some other community they're in.

* Am I seeing the whole feed? In chronological order, or?

* Why the character limitation? And the awfulness of threads and how where/when to reply in one that came as a result of this.

* Can't follow a hashtag, utterly inexplicably. About the only use case I found for it, wasn't available.

* Limitations on number of characters

* Utter toxicity of most of the userbase.

* Inability to form smaller communities. Everything is public, just people shouting into the void for attention.

And then, of course, the usual cultural things you have to learn from cues over time which I never got comfortable with because I didn't spend enough time there. Where the hashtags go; inline, at the end, at the beginning? The intricacies of when you @ people, when you DM people, etc. The discomfort with finding a voice in a public shouting match.
Yes, the folks with the most influence.
What is the historical success rate of well-intentioned human intervention in natural systems?

My guess is it is not overall positive.

Do we really think we are so near omniscience that we can perform experiments with such potentially broad impacts? Obviously some think so, but I am not convinced.

I would prefer we focus on the root cause of our problems rather than try to outwit nature after we have failed so many times before.
They're pretty clearly being sarcastic; they don't actually think it's "super easy to sign up for Mastodon."

Honk - https://humungus.tedunangst.com/r/honk

Minimalist and opinionated but is a single binary with an SQLite db. Source is, uh, esoteric but is definitely hackable (there's a whole bunch of forks.) Seems to work ok with a few minor weirdnesses[1].

Should clarify that it doesn't have an API - you can't use Mastodon clients against it (until/unless someone writes on) - it's basically web only.

[1] I can't follow someone on my GotoSocial instance from honk but I'm pretty sure I've debugged that as being GTS's fault[2] rather than honk.

[2] They made many odd design decisions which cause(d) issues with federating to other systems.

Ruby’s tradition of putting releases out at Christmas is always like a nice little present to play with over the break up to new year.

They control the server that runs the software. So you trust them with every https request, your communication, your password. You trust their javascript.
Not if your whole worldview rests on reductive arguments.

It’s ok to look in shop windows, therefore it’s ok to look in any window, therefore it’s ok to use ultra telephoto lenses to photograph naked people in their homes.

It’s hypocritical to ban fully automatic machine guns if you don’t also ban pillows, because both can be used to kill people.

And so on. There is a whole personality type that seems to be based on holding views that depend on ignoring all context in order to produce absurd results while claiming to be highly principled.
Amongst the neighbors is an attractive woman who hates OP's guts at first, then mellows, and finally falls in love.

Wonder how they "disrupt" such a circuit in a mouse brain? Without collateral damage.
Thanks for weighing in, that's good to know. After wondering if this could be auto-refactored, I came across https://github.com/jsx-eslint/eslint-plugin-react/blob/maste..., will definitely have to give that (with `--fix`) a try in the new year and see if I can get the team on board! – desire for typescript being a compelling factor.

Personally I do like the non-destructured `props.abc` throughout component code, really helps clarify at a glance where something is coming from, whether it's locally or externally defined, etc. Code style is an endless exercise in compromises/opinions though, even _with_ tools like eslint and prettier.
Nice prediction but I think that lawyers will be the last to feel the change. You don't pay a lawyer for crafting a document, you pay a lawyer to take responsibility for the document and to foresee any possible problems.
All this corporate activism is all fine and dandy when you agree with their politics. When you don't, they become the enemy.

I too prefer the days of neutrality and objectivity, a day when neutral platforms would act like neutral platforms.

What this is turning into is yet another case of tyranny by the moral majority.

Wherever there is power there will be assholes using it to control others.

Because presumably, you also want to avoid this in the process:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34008165

(in short: an implicit part of the process is that no one wants to end up in an instance that closes down in a couple of years because, after all, lots of them have a bus factor of 1)

The common response of "just pick an instance" is hiding quite the important decision of choosing a reliable and future-proof (within reason, i.e. that it will be still alive at least for the next 5 to 10 years) one.

The choice of technology and poor optimization of the reference Mastodon implementation, doesn't help at all the case of self-hosting, either.
There are a lot of talks that aren't good. (Not in any way saying this is one of them.)
Thank you, neat to see it could be done (I had a hunch!)
Textbooks are a lot more work to prepare than people think, and the market is in the thousands. Especially specialist textbooks like this require the input of many upper-middle class professionals who aren't exactly cheap - much like software.

I mean, how much time do you think it would cost to prepare a 400 page textbook on Amazon AWS, with curated examples and training exercises? How many man-hours of senior engineering talent would be required? How many copies could you realistically sell?

Some textbook authors have previously posted on HN that the money is terrible in technical books, and the biggest benefit has just been credibility that the authors can use to sell themselves as consultants.
What is ridiculous take? Authors want to sell access to information they've collected, improved, filtered, and so on. They invested tremendous amount of effort into making this available to you for a very low price (less than $1/month). The sharing is implemented the certain way, super inconvenient - but you have been informed multiple times in advance, and accepted that.

> There were no such restrictions on books after you legitimately purchased them for hundreds of years now.

For hundreds of years there were no book pirates, and computers. Even libraries buy books so they can share to a limited audience.
Amazon rescinding the offer while I am on the notice period
A few days ago, just before the Christmas, Amazon HR called me to inform that my offer is rescinded. The start date was Jan 2, 2023. As a gift, they will pay me a months salary.

I already resigned from my current post after obtaining the work visa for the new location on November 30th. I asked their affirmation before resigning.

Right now, I cannot relocate and my current visa became void since I resigned.
I also cancelled my rent agreement.
In a month, I will be on streets, without a job and visa.

In every step I tried to behave ethically and high trust. Guess I did wrong. Are all places like this?

Ps: sorry, I forgot to add. the new location was Canada. My current location is in EU.

Ps2: some background about me:

Amazon offer was for Sde2.
I have 5 yoe.
I have worked in several projects spanning from embedded software for airplanes to scalable cloud based data heavy backend applications.

Java/C++98 were the primary stack.

I had turned down an offer from Meta to join Amazon. I think my system design and general ds&a ability is okay.
I am a good team player and perform well in friendly environment.
Number of iterations is directly proportional to the time and cost of cracking the master password. For the old vaults it's 20 times faster/cheaper to crack the master password by brute force.

The best precaution is to never use LastPass. If you used LastPass, the safe course of action is to change all your passwords that were in LastPass, and use a better password manager this time.
> Are they lining up really, any more?

The fact that people are paying the rents being asked is more or less tautological proof of this.
It is my understanding that the ECC that you're talking about only protects data-in-flight between the module and whatever is reading or writing the data. It does not protect against corruption of data-at-rest, which is what is protected with ECC in DDR4 and older.

It's also my understanding that the DDR5 data-in-flight ECC is a mandatory feature because the link between the memory modules and everything else is so error-prone that the system would simply not function without it.

Ask HN: Good Mastadon Servers to Join
I'm hearing a lot about Mastadon and want to check it out, what are some good servers to join for people interested in software, finance and just anything interesting
Good point. Ca. 1948 '"X sucks!" can be a powerful prompt for you to support X' was one of the known uses of "black" propaganda, so it's already proved useful with wetware operatives.

As a presumably inadvertent example of reverse propaganda, cf https://dakotavadams.substack.com/p/redpill-op
There is no ‘finished’. We’ve always been at war with Eastasia.
Well, encourage socialistic views, there will be more tax money to "help" those organizations.
A friend of mine coined a beautiful definition of what GPT is: a bullshit engine. It is heavily [over?]trained on a criteria of it's output being human-like. I don't know what the loss function looked like, but it seems to me that first-level comprehensiveness was it's main component, like "output is a correct and valid phrase". That's the definition of bullshit: visually valid and comprehensive text without inner logic or consistency.
How or why is this weird?

I think I have now reached my fill of posts showcasing what this tool said.
I somehow sadly signed up for LastPass only about a month ago, after (briefly) reviewing options.

I have a rather long pass phrase. That should theoretically mean that even with my vault, brute-forcing this is out of the question and everything is still business as usual?

If that's the case I'll sleep easier at night than the thought of trying to move everything yet again to another password manager and handle (what are strong) password resets at places like Google .... shudder.
It gets stuff wrong all the time - it has no knowledge or understanding - it's just a very convincing stochastic parrot.
> they're solely relying on the narrative of "Big Tech Bad!" to carry their brand and product forward.

I don't know, that is kind of the whole purpose of DDG to begin with.
Very against the rules. The Packers aren’t savvy here, they just existed long before business interests shut that practice down.

Tackling the second part first: Yes, mathematicians use all sorts of reasoning in pursuit of mathematical truth. Sometimes this reasoning is mildly sloppy, or abuses notation. So what? We all know in principle that this reasoning can be written down formally in ZFC with enough effort, if we really needed to, and this is enough to satisfy us. If you go to a mathematician and claim their work in number theory isn't actually rigorous because they wrote "7" to mean the equivalence class of 7 mod p, instead of a separate symbol like a 7 with an overbar, they will laugh at you.

> But the whole point is how to keep track of what questions one is evidently allowed to ask - what questions are demonstrably not as ill-posed as "is the number 7 equal to the trivial group".

I don't understand what you mean by "questions one is evidently allowed to ask." You can ask any questions you want. In particular, as long as we agree that whatever question you want to ask can be translated into a question about sets, we can resolve that question by answering the analogous question in the framework of ZFC. All I object to is the claim that some set is, ontologically speaking, the same as the number 7, and hence that set theory proves "junk theorems."

Here's a silly analogy. Suppose we work at NASA and we want to fly a rocket to the moon. We agree that the answer the question of how much fuel we need, we can write a computer simulation with a representation of the rocket, the earth, the moon, and so on. We run the simulation and answer our question in that simulation, and if the simulation is a good representation of reality that also answers our question in reality, and then we go to the moon and everyone is happy. However, nowhere in this process do we believe that the rocket in the simulation is the same thing as the rocket IRL.
I believe that you should be able to do basic CLI at least, but for rarely used commands or some incredibly complex one like ffmpeg, having an AI to do it is the way to go.
I'm usually very good at detecting irony, tongue-in-cheek and similar "humorous tones". I see nothing indicating it here.
I think earning 1.5X - 3X the wage for the same job as one would in Florida overcomes the tax and COL burden in most cases for which this discussion is applicable. The lowest economic tiers are another matter: but their mobility is limited anyway.

Edit: also, bubble? In what sense? Tech? Sure: there's definitely an assumption about the use and understanding of tech here. Politically? Hardly--this place is an oddball mix of libertarianism, hand-wringing liberalism, apathy, and tons more. It's also not a cultural bubble; the exact opposite in fact, especially compared to Florida.

This is certainly harmful. Advertisers et al. have taken over the internet. There are easy dopamine hits everywhere. For example, one my relatives has a 10 year old who is glued to their phone all day watching tiktok or youtube. In this particular case it's the parent's fault, but that is not my point. At school the kids are there to learn. If this is how many kids are at home if you give them unlimited access to the internet it will harm their education. Arguing the semantics is pointless.
