I think you hit the nail on the head with "rich rent seekers" -- Who else owns the downtowns of most big cities? Wealthy people, whose interests are served by keeping the pre-pandemic status quo of "Rent our offices. Pay our parking meters & public parking lots"

No thanks. I'll take my remote job and live an hour outside of a city, to enjoy silence, wildlife, bonfires, and saving my hard-earned income in nature.

Large scale rent seeking behavior is not positive for economies. Just ask the Saudis.

This is such a typical story of American computing. They treated computer skills as literal witchcraft. It just makes boomers come off as more inept and bald (which is their culture, and seen as a positive amongst their peers) when they say to a 13 year old, "oh you bad student, you clicked an ad knowing it is malware, which installed a virus and penetrated our network, you goblin spawn!". The corollary where the NSA hires the "evil hacker genius" is the cringiest part.

> I don't think people only accept this because they haven't thought about it. I think enough people thought about it and accepted it long enough ago that we simply don't really need to think about it anymore.

If you have any historical evidence that this is how any of our common traffic laws that punish people who haven't caused harm, I would love to see it.

My understanding is that no such process ever took place: government bureaucrats decided that certain arbitrary rules were appropriate and that anyone who violated them should be punished, based on whatever information they considered relevant, and imposed them by fiat. That is how 55 mph speed limits were imposed throughout the US, for example.

And that doesn't even consider the part about traffic laws being revenue sources for state and local governments. The overall incentive to over-impose laws is huge. Yet somehow the laws we have are exactly right to optimize our safety? I strongly doubt it.
The use of “Mozilla” I believe predates the Mozilla Foundation, as it was from Netscape’s user agent string before it was spun out. https://webaim.org/blog/user-agent-string-history/
No, you're completely wrong.

Maybe designing for scaling on the native chain is the way to go, but that's not "the idea behind Solana". There are like 30 chains trying that, many which predate Solana. Tron was trying to do that before Solana was even an idea. It's not clear to me what "the idea behind Solana" is, beyond a bunch of buzzwords which aren't even unique. I see very little in their goals that differentiates Solana from chains like Avalanche or Near, but both of those are better designed technically and more decentralized.

And there absolutely is something technically centralized about Solana. Multiple times before it was even listed on Coinbase, it was stopped and restarted by the developers. That should not be possible on a decentralized system. Period.

I implore you to recognize that you do not know what you are talking about, and stop confidently spreading misinformation. If you were taken in by Solana, recognize that investing in Solana was an obvious, avoidable mistake. If it wasn't obvious to you, it's because you're severely undereducated with regards to cryptocurrencies to be investing in them. I don't mean that to be rude--it's just that I don't want to be unclear. The people who invested in Solana weren't making educated decisions, they were gambling.
he won 3 world cups, and scored way more league goals compared to Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo scored more overall because they played a crapton of international games, which were not a thing before the Champions League had group stages.

Pelé's goal ratio is almost one per match, for 20 freaking years.

While I agree that the state acted worse and that there is injustice here, she herself was very politically and professionally unsavvy. Push back against a policy you think is bad: yes, make a fuss, leave and go to the media: yes. Take matters into your own hands while at work and directly do what you've been told not to do: no.

On the balance of her past actions it seems likely to me that she did take access and take data from those systems when she wasn't supposed to. Perhaps it seemed innocent enough to her at the time as well. But again, really unsavvy, not necessary for whistleblowing, not really helpful to anyone. Hell, she could have taken the data, written it to a usb drive and buried it somewhere for future reference and nobody would have been the wiser (if it was her). Instead it was used to send a message to health workers.

She basically put herself in front of the law to stamp her foot and shout she's right. Maybe she is right, but she could have shouted via other avenues. Instead she has given more fodder to those she's disagreeing with.
So a typical HN thread then
text messaging in chat groups. they still beep when a message appears in a group or at least when someone replies to a message i sent or mentions me. i have most groups on silent by default but some groups are important so for those i keep notifications on.

apart from that there are also voice group chats which on some apps start with a ring at least if i am explicitly invited. (though that usually doesn't happen when i am asleep)

A cursory glance of their posts makes it pretty obvious that they wouldn't be the type to vote Republican. I'd be willing to put money on that, and I'm not a betting man.
I strongly suspect they’re referring to the aspects of the UA string specific to their own device. I.e. they used an MBP (whose vintage can be intuited from its notorious keyboard problems and) which has evidently stopped receiving OS updates past 10.15. Edit to add: I also suspect they thought this was a clever way to avoid some nerd inevitably chiding them to upgrade their OS, but it’s probably too clever to achieve that.
> As a cyclist who continually sees stories of aggressive car behaviors being reported and acted on because the cyclist had cam footage of the license plate I'd say the fraction is close to 100%.

My anecdotal evidence, for what it's worth (which is not much in either case), is exactly the opposite: in every traffic accident I have been involved in, neither I nor anyone else left the scene.

(Btw, when you say "aggressive car behaviors", are these things that actually caused harm?)

As far as actual data that would be strong enough to justify imposing public policy on everyone, I don't think it's there.

Show HN: Logos Created with AI
It's curious years of good nights of sleep and a happy child enrages you.

We sleep trained our son at 7 months. He cried for 90 minutes the first night, then slept soundly until 7 am. The second night he cried for 45 minutes then slept until 7 am. He didn't cry the third night. Every night since he's slept peacefully from 8 PM until 7 AM and asks to go to bed when he gets tired. He's happy during the day unless something obvious is distressing him. Most notably he's happy and peaceful from 5 PM until 8 PM when I see other parents suffering from witching hour and unexplained melt downs.

Isn't a few hours of discomfort in exchange for years of good sleep and happiness a good trade off?

Nope. A web browser browsers the world wide web. A WebDAV file browser just speaks HTTP. No hypertext, no web.

edit: Wow, it's not really that complicated. Please take a moment to stop taking a crowbar to each and every crack and crevice of this argument. It's not about hypertext specifically, or hypermedia, or HTTP, or HTML, that's missing the point. The point is, a web browser is software that browses websites. A WebDAV browser browses WebDAV. WebDAV is built on web technology and can be used inside a web browser, but it is no more "the web" than anything else. A WebDAV file browser is absolutely no more a web browser than the Deno JavaScript runtime is. I can't browse HN with a WebDAV browser, or Deno. Speaking HTTP does not make you a web browser.

On the other hand if you ever want to shard based on ID full randomness is fantastic. There is a funny tradeoff where if all of your IDs are sequential then you get very good locality in your storage system. But that backfires if it creates too much of a hotspot.

Maybe the best option is something like a UUIDv7 (time + random) ID and you can tune your shard keys by shuffling the bits. Maybe you want something like moving the last 4 bits to the front of the shard key so that you have 16 hot spots, which is good for performance without any being too hot.
> In case it's not obvious to everyone reading here, no one recommends using the cry it out method on infants younger than six months.

This is wrong. Various methods recommend starting as early as four months (and some recommend a less-strict version that starts earlier but only leaves children to cry for a shorter period of time before coming to get them, as opposed to fully crying it out).

I have two kids now. We are lucky blessed and privileged with amount of support we have, from family and work and government (Canada:). And yet it's hard. I try to get a little bit less "enraged" and "blood boiling" at other parents' survival strategies. If you have to go to work next morning to pay rent (which,y know, hasn't historically been the case so evolution is no use) and don't have a traditional support network of 500bc Greece and haven't slept for the last 6 weeks... It's very easy to say "it's a sacrifice parents should make" but it feels a bit of a lack of empathy.

Different kids parents and circumstances. I've really tried to tone down my judgement of other parenting techniques as I know they can easily judge my choices especially context free.

It's hard.

For work / (phage therapy): I'm excited to help scale up our process to hundreds of patients this year. I'm excited to put in best data science / data engineering practices to collect all the data in a way that we can generate reports on them and later on feed the data for phage ML projects. (This data is usually either private, improperly stored (e.g. saved across many powerpoint files...), or just not recorded at all. Hopefully we'll anonymize and make it public for others to use.

For fun: I built a HackerNews clone using Airtable as back-end (including account management / login), and it'll be fun to roll it out and see how it fares!

> is there a resource other than source code I'm missing ?

First, you should understand the math you need to be able to implement the algorithms, then you should learn the algorithms. You may "get" the code, but you will never understand it if you don't understand the mathematical objects it represents.

Simple example, linear regression, we can compute the solution without iterative improvements as in Neural Networks, why? How do we actually code that? What is the pseudo-inverse that we are computing doing there?

From here, what's the relationship of that with Newton's method for numerical optimisation? Why does alternating least squares even work?

The code will _never_ explain the underlying mathematics, it can only represent them.

I am not really sure what you are expecting for such a vast field. I recommend reading Elements of statistical learning or Bishop's book or Murphy's Probabilistic ML.
I think that is dangerous advice. It's easier to use Bitwarden, or KeePassXC in Google Drive, than a spreadsheet where you have to follow such rules. And the former ist much more secure against a lot of mistakes and attacks.
HandBrake 1.6.0 debuts av1 transcoding support for the masses
I have found myself as a new person with a new system of values and new interests and a great new outlook on life, yet the world around me has not yet shifted. It's my imperative to communicate my values with others and find others with common interests, and I either haven't done a good job of doing that, or my values and interests may be incompatible in general with others and society at large (or at least with my current social circle).

I value the existing people and relationships in my life, and that keeps me from changing too much and grounds me in reality and society, which is probably good for me and for society at large. I think that this sort of thing happens to everyone.

Maybe we strain against our harnesses and the web that we're in, and sometimes the web holds fast, or sometimes the network shifts and comes into new, better and more harmonious alignment.
web consumption kinda shifted into social media, most of the www is now consumed in smartphones, inside social media apps.

Scale definitely matters. You want your caches to be hot, but not too hot. If your primary keys are sequential you will probably have great performance, but will have a hard time sharing when you need to. Although that can probably be solved by shuffling a bit of the high entropy bits to the front of the shard key. Ideally you would be able to dynamically adjust the number of bits shuffled to get the right balance of hot but not overloaded caches. On the other hand if you were using random IDs no amount of shuffling is going to make them group into nice high-hit-rate slices.

> Again, I think the harm of mandating backdoors far outweighs the benefit, but imagine your job is to make sure people aren't organizing mass terror attacks. I think you can take a look at the above environment and get a little worried, in a way you wouldn't be about people just whispering to each other in-person. When we say "no backdoors," we are truly making a tradeoff.

I don't see the tradeoff, but just a very bad trade. Those who organize mass terror attacks will just find ways to evade the surveillance, while the masses will have lost their privacy.

On top of that, terrorists could also benefit from a general lack of privacy. Recently the CCC found a device on ebay that contains biometric details of Afghans. Conveniently, the Taliban already has compatible devices that the U.S. military left in Afghanistan. The entire population of Afghanistan was biometrically catalogued without ensuring that the data, as well as the devices cannot be abused by Terrorists.

The population has lost their privacy and on top of that, the Taliban now has tools that allow them to terrorize the population more efficiently.
