I think they've still got to do audits and what not, but following the rules and stuff isn't sufficient to get in the trust stores (and isn't sufficient to stay either; nothing in this case really has anything to do with the guidelines).

You also need to have some reason for browsers to care about your certs. Being available and interested in the 90s was good enough, but these days the route is probably pay an existing CA to cross sign your CA (which requires that you follow all the same rules as if you were in the trust stores), wait for usage, and then apply to be in direct.

Bill Atkinson's QuickDraw is one example of that. The original was written for the Lisa in Pascal, and then brought over to the Mac project. And I believe portions rewritten in assembler for compactness/speed.

I'll have a go at building it and if I'm successful I'll let you know. I honestly thought a proper fork would have started by now but that is not the case.
That's not true at all. Most necessities (food, clothing) are far cheaper now in real terms than they were in the past.

Housing is more expensive on average, but only because houses have gotten much larger (the average new house was ~1000 sqft in 1920 and ~2600 sqft today), and are more likely to be in urban areas where land is scarce (20% urban in 1860 to 80% urban today). Of course modern housing is built to a much higher standard as well -- in Thoreau's time, the average home would not have had indoor plumbing or electricity.

You can absolutely find cheap housing if you're willing to live somewhere small in the middle of nowhere. But most people don't want to do that these days.
I've never bought into the "making the world a better place" meme. Even 10 years ago. However, I do certainly agree that back in the days recruiters were much better at communicating and some would even have add actual value to the job searching/interviewing process. Nowadays I might as well be speaking to a bot.
basically, yes. Its called the housing market - an asset that controbutes nothing to the economy goes up in value and makes life unaffordable for new generations.

My pet peeve about using "they" is it seems to imply an undue politeness or superiority. Plurality is an ancient metaphor for power, and many languages today have the same form for a plural "you" and a polite "you". Another example is the royal "we".
Some retail has a 75%+ markup as standard at the store. That's why
they're able to regularly offer sales where they take 25%, 50%,
even 75% off: it's not just to clear out unsold inventory; many
retailers that do this are still making a profit at those prices.

But how many of those items actually sell at the sticker price? The reason I ask is because I've noticed this with mechanical watches (which I have a moderate interest in). Mechanical watches will often have absurd sticker prices. Two, or even three times the final sale price is quite common. But do any of those watches actually sell at those prices? Does anyone actually spend a thousand dollars for, e.g. a Hamilton automatic which has a selling price of roughly $400 on Amazon, and elsewhere? I very much doubt it. The sticker price is just there to add prestige and the sale price, for all intents and purposes, is the actual price.

Similarly, clothing often has some ridiculous sticker price, because the entire point of the sticker price is to be marked down in one of the seemingly perpetual sales that retailers have. I remember that J.C. Penney, when they hired Apple head of retail Ron Johnson, tried to change this practice, by setting the list price of clothing closer to the price that they paid, eschewing having sales. It was a disaster [1]. Customers had become accustomed to seeing large markdowns, and when those markdowns weren't there, they waited (or shopped at other retailers which continued to offer markdowns).

Just because the sticker price has a 75% (or 2-300%, in the case of watches) markup doesn't mean the retailer actually expects to make that margin on anything except a small fraction of sales.

Yes it is. They were developed to fix the vanishing gradient problem.

The 1997 paper where they were introduced puts it like this:

Learning to store information over extended time intervals by recurrent backpropagation takes a very long time, mostly because of insufficient, decaying error backflow. We briefly review Hochreiter's (1991) analysis of this problem, then address it by introducing a novel, efficient, gradient-based method called long short-term memory (LSTM). Truncating the gradient where this does not do harm, LSTM can learn to bridge minimal time lags in excess of 1000 discrete-time steps by enforcing constant error flow through constant error carousels within special units.

1984 mentions cars:

As a whole the world is more primitive today than it was fifty years ago. Certain backward areas have advanced, and various devices, always in some way connected with warfare and police espionage, have been developed, but experiment and invention have largely stopped, and the ravages of the atomic war of the nineteen-fifties have never been fully repaired. Nevertheless the dangers inherent in the machine are still there. […] In a world in which everyone worked short hours, had enough to eat, lived in a house with a bathroom and a refrigerator, and possessed a motor-car or even an aeroplane, the most obvious and perhaps the most important form of inequality would already have disappeared. […] For if leisure and security were enjoyed by all alike, the great mass of human beings who are normally stupefied by poverty would become literate and would learn to think for themselves; and when once they had done this, they would sooner or later realize that the privileged minority had no function, and they would sweep it away. In the long run, a hierarchical society was only possible on a basis of poverty and ignorance.

[…]

By the standards of the early twentieth century, even a member of the Inner Party lives an austere, laborious kind of life. Nevertheless, the few luxuries that he does enjoy his large, well-appointed flat, the better texture of his clothes, the better quality of his food and drink and tobacco, his two or
three servants, his private motor-car or helicopter—set him in a different world from a member of the Outer Party, and the members of the Outer Party have a similar advantage in comparison with the submerged masses whom we call ‘the proles’.

[…]

The primary aim of modern warfare (in accordance with the principles of DOUBLETHINK, this aim is simultaneously recognized and not recognized by the directing brains of the Inner Party) is to use up the products of the machine without raising the general standard of living.

———

This implies that only member of the Inner Party have cars, and that inequality is seen as beneficial, and general access to technology as detrimental. This would explain why there are only few cars.

There are two more mentions of cars with reference to the past:

———

His [Big Brother's] exploits had been gradually pushed backwards in time until already they extended into the fabulous world of the forties and the thirties, when the capitalists in their strange cylindrical hats still rode through the streets of London in great gleaming motor-cars or horse carriages with glass sides.

[…]

And at the same time [before the Revolution] there were a very few people, only a few thousands—the capitalists, they were called—who were rich and powerful. They owned everything that there was to own. They lived in great gorgeous houses with thirty servants, they rode about in motor-cars and four-horse carriages, they drank champagne, they wore top hats——’
You have a wildly distorted view of what it takes to keep the lights on for a heavily trafficked website. All of the people you mentioned might be volunteers, but they only volunteer because the platform exists and works well. And it continues to exist and continues to work well because people are paid to do it.

And if you disagree with that, then where are all the top 1000 websites that are run by "a few" people?
did you at least put a responsible error message for all people with failed logins to mitigate the issue?
For my MFA, my cohort was the first (and, it turned out last) to submit electronic copies of their theses. I doubt anyone was checking margins on that, although I made a point of making sure I hit all the formatting requirements. Of course, because I (and I think everyone from my cohort) requested an embargo of our theses expecting that someday we’d get NY publishing deals for our work. it effectively means that nobody will ever read them, unlike the cohorts who submitted printed theses which are shelved in the library so someone could go to the library and read them (at least in theory). Our program director mentioned something about some significant writer’s thesis in the University of Iowa library which has a note written inside the printed copy saying, “if you’re reading this, I guess I’m famous now.”
Yeah that seems like a no-brainer, but I suppose Musk wants tight control over how Twitter is used. It's harder to herd users around with third-party clients rendering user-undesired changes moot.

It's not the first time we've seen something like this. Youtube is infamously harsh on alternative clients and Spotify went from the most developer-friendly streaming service to one of the least friendly… the former because third party clients can cut out ads, the latter because third party clients stymy efforts to drive users towards more profitable content instead of what they really want to listen to.

Third party clients also don't really mesh with Musk's "everything app" aspirations but that's probably moot because I don't see Twitter becoming one of those any time soon.
Why CA is urging people who got middle class refunds to withdraw the money ASAP
There was an opportunity here to open Twitter and position it’s API to become a message broker and discovery service. Have a heathy ecosystem of third party clients. Perhaps require users to have “Blue” subscription to use third party clients with some revenue share agreements.

"Finally, if you were subscriber to Twitterrific for iOS, we would ask you to please consider not requesting a refund from Apple. The loss of ongoing, recurring revenue from Twitterrific is already going to hurt our business significantly, and any refunds will come directly out of our pockets – not Twitter’s and not Apple’s. To put it simply, thousands of refunds would be devastating to a small company like ours."

So a company builds a system that sits on another system to do a thing, charges for a thing, shuts down that thing, and then asks their customers to not ask for a refund for the thing on the thing that is broken...seems a bit....icky

Of course the marginal utility you derive from any purchases is subjective. But the potential savings impact is much bigger on the big purchases for most people.

E.g. if you spend $7 on an overpriced coffee at Starbucks every day, that's about $2,500 a year. Most people spend way more than that on their car or housing, so saving even a bit on housing/car payments would make way more of a difference than completely giving up coffee.

Implying what, that other companies don't?

People think social media was freeloading off of newspapers, but the reality imo is that the internet killed classifieds and consolidated the market around a handful of national papers (NYT et Al). News and especially political news is one of main things that make social media so miserable, so if anything platforms would have preferred to have less of it.

> Musk is definitely making Twitter worse.

In terms of actual content it's a very marginal difference for the vast majority of people I'm sure.

Slightly more people posting angry outraged tweets != twitter content being significantly worse.

The technical failure complaints/predictions will probably find more purchase on HN, despite the feeds being much of the same.

I'm very skeptical Entertainment Tonight style negative PR for Twitter's business ops is what is bad for Twitter as a product for normal day-to-day users. Note: I'm not talking about what's bad for society, if that's what mattered The National Enquirer wouldn't have topped newspaper sales long ago.

I strongly disagree. Their product’s “reliance” on an external system wasn’t just some incidental reckless dependency. It’s a Twitter client, so it’s i here fly “reliant” on Twitter. It’s not unlike someone selling a book about how to use Twitter’s API, then politely asking people to not ask for refunds for the book years later when Twitter shuts down its API.
So Far is one of my most treasured vinyl. CSNY really was something else.
It's nice if you can do it in software, but this necessarily requires hardware. Any algorithm can be sped up by a constant factor with specialized hardware: for example, addition is 2n if you need to perform an addition with an optional carry for each digit. With specialized hardware, 64-bit numbers can be added in one operation, which makes the algorithm n/32.

This kind of improvement is nice, but it would mean that quantum computers are no moe exciting than video cards.

Edit: This is a result of the linear speedup theorem. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_speedup_theorem

This is exhausting. I wish we could simplify English so that all beings use a single pronoun, and be done with it.

This one’s that gender, this one’s neutral gender, this one’s genderless… who cares.

If gender or plurality is key to the sentence we can add a word.

I like how in Indonesian to make a word plural you double it: pencil pencil = multiple pencils

Can we come up with a pronoun that literally means “the being or beings in question” without commenting on gender or plurality?
