My 12 year account was permabanned from r/news with no warning or recourse for speculating on this possibility when it happened.

Sabotage by Russia doesn't make sense from almost any angle you look at it. That doesn't necessarily mean the US government did it, but it's done far worse in the past.
This is huge for malware distributors as well as industries that rely on identifying end-users. For IT support folks it'll be less than ideal.
There’s a difference between pure research and releasing an innovative product
NET::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID

It's showing as some kind of cicso cert valid for a couple of days.

There's no interception on this network. Other let's encrypt certs work just fine.
People do need common culture. I have a friend in his mid-20s and he is always "Do you know [YouTube personality]?" or showing me memes that require extensive explanations. And we're actually very similar people in many ways.

Some of this is just me not being hip with the next generation's culture. But he also has not seen almost any of what I would call the American film canon. So we can't even discuss cheesy 80s action films. Eventually we figured out he had seen Stargate. He was surprised I had seen it.

He can't tell what's mainstream and what's highly esoteric. I do think that's a problem. I know no one will have any idea what I'm talking about if I bring up my favourite synthwave artists in conversation.

It occurs to me that the form of media often informed my awareness about that. Was it on TV? Popular book at the library? Or did I find it in the back of some weird 'zine?

It's all the same on YouTube. Though there is the view count. It's often watched alone, so no social feedback. When it comes to movie nights, for example, finding something that's acceptable to most, not just hyper-tailored to yourself and full of in-references, is an important social skill.
"integrate ChatGPT methods", why this wording? it has nothing to do with them

What call it rival only for google?

Government censorship (and arrests!!) are in no way comparable to the “censorship” happening in western countries. (Namely, ToC violators getting banned, and government figures suggesting misinformation to look into.) The comparison is just obnoxious.

Edit: In the mid-1980s when South African Apartheid was a matter of global protest, Glasgow City Council renamed St George's Place in the centre of Glasgow to Nelson Mandela Place, just to mess with the South African Consulate.

Glasgow is a wonderful city full of wonderful people, but don't piss them off.

Poverty is correlated with suicide rates, for obvious reasons:

https://newsroom.ucla.edu/releases/poverty-may-have-a-greate...

There was a notable increase in poverty rates after the 2008 economic collapse, along with a decrease in home ownership and increased unemployment.

https://poverty.ucdavis.edu/faq/what-current-poverty-rate-un...

The fact that this article doesn't even mention this obvious contributing factor certainly undermines its thesis.
Yeah didnt have a lot of money growing up but runescape ran fine/well IN BROWSER on our old terrible computer on rural wifi. Brother and I were also able to $5 a month together for members.

We probably would have played WoW if we could afford it and our computer could run it but for a lot of folks like us that just want realistic.
I would apply that logic to anyone responsible for honest mistakes. Mistakes are a valuable opportunity for learning, and learning doesn’t thrive in a culture of fear.

The same system should definitely exist in law enforcement, to the extent that the mistakes are made in good faith. I would argue that a good percentage of the “mistakes” made by police in the US are malicious in nature, akin to ATC intentionally putting planes in danger. Our law enforcement culture in the US is so rotten that mistakes are neither punished nor understood.

To your point that ATC is notoriously awful for not firing people, I would say their safety record speaks for itself. The impulse for punitive vengeance is what puts lives at risk, not ATC's safety culture.
I've no doubt they can make it technically speaking. It's just not enough people would buy it to make it worth their while.
No mention of Coral CDN:

https://wiki.opensourceecology.org/wiki/Coral_CDN

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coral_Content_Distribution_Net...

https://github.com/morganestes/coralcdn

Just a few years ago, you could append .nyud.net to any domain and fetch it through the Coral cache instantly. But it's apparently been quietly swept under the rug.

Caching is such a basic thing to do that I'm concerned that the current crop of CDNs will mostly be used for mass surveillance. I also worry that VPNs are used for similar purposes by spy agencies.

IMHO the static web should have been distributed from the start. It should have been https everywhere. We should have kept cookies instead of trying to wedge in security on the frontend with OAuth, which is like a leaky sieve in comparison. We should have had Subresource Integrity (SRI) and been able to load scripts and other sensitive files from these caches fearlessly.
The "Monsanto" trademark was too toxic to keep using after the merger, so they've continued using this other trademark, which is somehow apparently less toxic.
It seems to me that is some kind of tunnel/vpn a-la-zerotier?
For example?

More importantly, this wouldn't be a tax on wealth, it would be a tax on savings, meaning it would disproportionately affect the less-wealthy and the less-credit-worthy, who tend to not own significant assets or have the borrowing power to buy them. In terms of the discrepancy with a wealth tax, imagine trying to save money to buy a house, except that the house price grows each year, due to negative interest rates, while your savings account shrinks by the same proportion. Perhaps it doesn't take much imagination, because it's similar to 2020's zero-interest-rate environment, but without the restraint of being bounded by zero.
Yes, it's in the cultural DNA of the USA in a way it isn't in the UK, so it's a viewpoint you see a lot on hn. But this is a UK proposal.
Our index was aimed at handling 20 000 documents at total of 35MB of CSV, this would balloon into 0.7GB to 1GB of RAM and we expected at least 1000 of these indexes, which would require dedicated servers with 1TB of RAM. This was when Meili was at version 0.27.

With manticore, we've tried to run into these issues in benchmarks, but the only problem we got was temporary high IO load when indexes need to be re-indexed with new or changed documents. In total it's at 50-70% of the RAM usage compared to Meili.

We'd be happy to re-visit, but looking at the docs - it seems to be about the same as it was back then (a year ago).
Would you please stop posting unsubstantive and/or flamebait comments? It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for, so we ban accounts that do it.

I actually just briefly banned your account, but had second thoughts because it's been around for a while and has also posted good comments. But if you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules and definitely stop posting like this, we'd appreciate it.
Your last two statements are not accurate.

Autoland is not the common landing method unless you're in very poor visibility. Pilots DO use it in good weather or other situations, but that's mostly to keep current on their certifications for its use. For those who are curious, look up Category III (Cat III) or 0/0 approaches. Those are the ones autoland are intended for.

Secondly, amongst pretty much every common definition of experience "small commercial plane" operators are almost always less experienced than airline pilots, at least in the US. The reason for this is simple, to be a commercial pilot you need 250 hours of flight experience. To be an airline pilot you need 1500. Small commercial businesses are commonly where pilots pick up the experience needed to even apply to be an airline pilot.

Other common sources: 1) Flight instructing (also a small commercial gig), 2) The military, 3) Aviation schools and lots of $$$$
I think maybe even making telemetry mandatory with an open license, and customizable with a support license might be a sustainable way to run an open source company.

For many open source project (anything with an attached business model), either telemetry or tight communication around usage patterns will be necessary to inform development. The latter of those two options consumes business resources.
If it's less stigmatized you'd expect fewer suicides right? More people getting help. Perhaps it's less stigmatized because a larger part of society has real mental health issues.
I think it's the connectivity of the digital devices that is specifically at fault, and that offline-only digital devices wouldn't cause this. At any moment, my phone or computer may deliver unwelcome news to me. My boss asking me about some work shit, my family with some sort of unwelcome sad news, or whatever. In the past these would have been relatively mundane stresses, but now there is a social expectation that everybody be attentive to incoming communications at all times. You get at most a few hours a night where people don't expect you to respond, but even then sometimes they forget about timezones and freak out when they don't get a prompt response. There is never any real reprieve and it's starting to seem like this represents a permanent cultural shift.
Or if they read the policies of the venue and adhered to them, the play could go on. Saying "you can't do X at this venue" is not the same as saying "you must do X".
how is that supposed to work at 60km and the speed of sound?
I'd presume that's for gameplay reasons rather than a genuine prediction. It's much more fun when NPCs can leave money lying around.
Yes it is, I think it's unfair to dismiss literally the biggest search platform in the world. The image search tab isn't the destination, it can be, but it's also easy to find video thumbnails that take you to somewhere you can watch things or download things.

It's also a very powerful search tool for Tumblr blogs. I enjoy reading stories as well and so Google Search as a whole plays a big part. I have found alternatives, but there's a reason Google stays at the top despite these kinds of decisions. This kind of move makes me wonder when text results will also become locked down. It's now a question of when, not if.
It's not just SEO and bots. It's deliberate choice in how they develop the application and what features they are adding. Every feature they have added in the last few years has been user hostile.
New Ring Discovered Around Small, Icy World in Our Solar System
It is awesome to see all the comments in this thread recommending some form of embedded programming as a side project. I strongly recommend it too.

Here's my own fun embedded programming project... it's been 5 years now, so I should really do something like this again:

https://foundrytechnologies.com/relay.php

It didn't too well commercially, perhaps because the 3d-printed case I designed for it in looked a bit cheap. But the embedded coding was very fun, as well as putting all the pieces together (embedded coding, website & web app, PCB design, CAD and 3d-printing were all involved).

I did sell a few units, and shipped them worldwide. I still see them checking in with the server for updates every 5 minutes from around the world, and there's about half a dozen working around my house today, including one outside by the front door bell. That one's been exposed to the Texas elements for 5 years now and hasn't missed a beat, except that it needed a new case last year to keep it looking fresh.

NewPipe on Android and ImprovedTube[1], both can be configured to turn off the homepage, trending and recommended videos, so you watch 1 video and afterwards your eyes don't wander and think "Oh, what's that video?".

I'd like to have more discussion about the attribution problem, specifically.

We now have a couple of the players saying they're working on, or having demos. But from what I can see, all of these don't _actually_ attribute the source. They're just able to find _a_ source that fits to the output, working backward from it. Often the attributed source fits, but is actually disagreeing with the original output in specific details. In other words, it's not backing the output at all. At most it's a "you could check out these links and compare yourself and it might help you judge our accuracy".

Is there any indication real attribution is coming?

In practice, the threshold of popularity seems to be that where the members of the subreddit feel comfortable raiding others.
Generally, software engineers will have even more work in 10 years than they have today.

Demand will only increase as more and more systems built the previous decade become legacy and a nightmare to extend/maintain, with companies desperately looking for talent that will accept this kind of work.

And regarding this AI code generation hype... this will be a disaster that will result in extremely bad codebases full of subtle bugs. People will make a career out of fixing whatever the f chatgpt15 generated. Just wait and see xD.

And these layoffs... are just a cycle phase, and it's not even that bad compared to previous busts btw.
Why would you presume that? I think it's much more likely to use the same tech that banks and credit cards use for their own bookkeeping. "Money with an expiry date" is in line with line-of-credit products that banks already offer, and taken to its continuous limit, is simply a negative interest rate.
Those design decisions were never made in a vacuum. They relied on telemetry (or, less scarily, user testing, user feedback, user research, etc) to figure out what works best. As a reminder, our intuition doesn't come from nowhere, rather centuries of survival and expectations. If you do not know what these expectations are, and if you do not know how your users interact with your product based on these expectations, you cannot make a good product. Certainly, you can make a product that appeals only to you, but how many of yous exist?

The design of a teapot is a great one. It didn't magically appear with handles and a spout and a place to hold leaves, but after years of refining based on usage. As shocking as that is, tea wasn't even discovered on purpose, let alone having a specific vessel for it right out the gate.

So yes, telemetry is essential. Taste is personal.
Vista had some launch bugs that were horrendous.

Beyond that it was a solid operating system and one of the better Windows releases.

Most people just had shit computers, combined with "group think" regarding it's quality.

Vista64 on a moderately good system with a proper amount of RAM was fantastic for it's time.
> It's not about who's fastest, it's about who stays in the end

And that's where authoritarian regimes get you. People usually aren't that invested in a conversation, or in disproving firehose of falsehoods style comments placed by people incentivized monetarily to make sure the correct opinion stays in the end. If the platform has rating system they also generate accounts to manipulate it for the same purpose.
C# can go in both directions because if you don't go full of shenanigans and simply write what you need it can be reasonably elegant. But to your point it won't necessarily be "fun", however if the fun is more in the problem it can be a great answer.

F# I'm finding to be a language I can have some fun with because some of the syntax just speaks to me (being able to use pipe operators aka |> to chain work so that what you work on is at the front and then it flows into each step without explicitly writing out intermediate variables or writing code inside out feels GOOD to me). It certainly isn't for everyone though.

At some point I want to play with Avalonia because I need to get back to doing non-web UI but I never have the right idea other than some of my game stuff and that's getting done in Godot or Unity.
You mean "Harare" ?
“Hello, X is hosting strip shows with men dressed in women’s clothes and are grooming your children!”
Except for the last, those are just lies that people in power find inconvenient. People were saying way more ridiculous things in the summer of 1787, and yet the country I live in enshrined free speech rights.

It actually does make some sense--the black hat isn't going to want to give their phone number, and if they're beyond the reach of US law they're very unlikely to have a US phone number available.
Nature: A dense ring of the trans-Neptunian object Quaoar outside its Roche limit

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-022-05629-6

Planetary rings are observed not only around giant planets, but also around small bodies such as the Centaur Chariklo and the dwarf planet Haumea. Up to now, all known dense rings were located close enough to their parent bodies, being inside the Roche limit, where tidal forces prevent material with reasonable densities from aggregating into a satellite. Here we report observations of an inhomogeneous ring around the trans-Neptunian body (50000) Quaoar. This trans-Neptunian object has an estimated radius of 555 km and possesses a roughly 80-km satellite (Weywot) that orbits at 24 Quaoar radii. The detected ring orbits at 7.4 radii from the central body, which is well outside Quaoar’s classical Roche limit, thus indicating that this limit does not always determine where ring material can survive. Our local collisional simulations show that elastic collisions, based on laboratory experiments, can maintain a ring far away from the body. Moreover, Quaoar’s ring orbits close to the 1/3 spin–orbit resonance with Quaoar, a property shared by Chariklo’s and Haumea’s rings, suggesting that this resonance plays a key role in ring confinement for small bodies.
A lot of the stats cited are ultimately subjective assessments of things like mental health. Calling more people "bipolar" or "depressed" or "anxious" can just as easily be a change in language as to what those words mean, as easily as they can reflect a change in the underlying language and how people express things. Notably the definition of most mental illnesses in the country Haidt is pulling his data from changed in 2013 due to the release of the DSM-V, so I don't really think pre-2013 data is comparable to post-2013 data at all, as these words in question are not medically or socially defined in the same way that they were before. In fact one of the most common criticisms of the DSM-V when it was being drafted to the present day is the allegation that it leads to more mental illness diagnosis's.

Attempted suicide is one of the few stats I treat as grounded relatively firmly in reality because it's not nearly as subjective, but this measure seems to have started skyrocketing in the mid 2000's not in 2012.

If the conclusion is that the rise of the internet has caused more and more teens to label themselves as mentally ill, I would say that's a conclusion I'm firmly convinced of. The conclusion that mental illness is actually increasing population wide, I'm very very sceptical of. I could imagine that it's happening to an extent due to things like economic pressures and increased inequality, we are seeing things like declines in lifespans and increases in suicide, but I don't think mental illness is increasingly nearly as much as the stats would lead you to believe at face value.

Plus quite simply, using time series data about when mental illness increased in society doesn't really shed much light on WHAT caused the mental illness to rise even if you can establish such a rise was happening, but I'm not even convinced by the date "2012".

These algorithms are a multiplier to the problem, but they aren't the root cause. You can find plenty of misinformation on cable news and you can't blame that exclusively on algorithms.
Very helpful comment. I clicked upvote twice
Comparing against 1990 is wrong though, as we should compare against the start of widespread social media use (2010 at least), and it's also pretty likely that other OECD countries are lagging behind with widespread adoption by a few years.
If we don't see an increase from 2015 to 2022 THAT would be counterevidence.

Microsoft Deal with Activision Would Harm Gamers, U.K. Regulator Says
Not (AFAIK) the elections, but everything else. Highly restricted media (many journalists in jail) and now social media. Many opposition leaders, judges jailed, exiled or otherwise "purged." Over 100k of them. Constant fiddling with the constitution and election system to increase his own power.

"Democracy," in the sense that refers to the democratic systems of government in existence, is a bundle. Elections without free press, expression, freedom to organize and such... That's no longer "democracy" in that sense of the term.
> concept of the marketplace of ideas and that, by and large, ideas are sifted via free speech and the good ones last while the bad ones die

This might be the core of it then, because while I generally agree with the idea of Free Speech in the abstract, I don't think that it's been having good outcomes for society in the era of the cultic milieu, and I think that has to do with this 'marketplace' idea not really holding water. (Maybe I just don't want to admit that my sense of what makes a "good idea" is wrong, and the success of eg Qanon as a meme means that I should just change my thinking and accept it as a winning meme and therefore a Good Idea.)
I'm a happy Steam Deck owner strongly wishing for a Steam Deck 2 / Steam Deck Pro. I'm playing way more games than I used to; it just eliminates friction from sitting down and playing anywhere.

The form factor is outstanding—the biggest thing it really needs is a higher resolution OLED display. Performance is great (pretty steady 40fps at medium settings) when I play locally, but it's even better when I stream from my gaming PC with a 3090. I don't even use my gaming PC for anything other than streaming to the deck now.

That said, I really hope Valve do the version bump with a synchronous release of a new Valve Index (VR) and Steam Deck, using the same APU. (That'd be a rare sign of organizational maturity from Valve, though.)
> I think most teenagers are simply stressed from the constant work that's necessary for the college admissions process.

I have absolutely no data to back this up but a difficult college admission process isn't novel to 2012+. This is also ignores the plenty of kids/young adults that never went to college and still suffer from whatever this epidemic is.

We'd need to review data for people who didn't go to undergrad/grad to see if your idea still holds truth.
There's a very dark WikiHow article in the works here, or a SNL sketch
