> It's true there's a disconnection between the account domain and the hosting domain, I already use this, but the Activity Pub object IDs are on the _hosting domain_, and if you want to move that you do need the IDs to continue to resolve in order to not (partially) defederate.

Yes, that is true. There's nothing you can do about that without breaking basic web expectations of URLs staying the same. The new endpoints can serve up the old content or Announce references to them, but the old URLs do need to continue resolving and at a minimum serve up a redirect if you want maximum availability.

It would be a nice improvement to have a URL scheme that allowed referencing posts relative to a webfinger lookup to reduce the impact of that.

> As far as I am aware there's no other good way to move that content between software on the same domain. Mastodon will import/export, but that data still assumes it'll be backed by Mastodon code with the Mastodon database schema, which is not correct if you're migrating to or from Mastodon.

The export is as an archive of JSON representing ActivityPub activities and objects. There's very little in the export that is Mastodon specific in any way. I have lots of complaints about Mastodon, but the export format is not one of them. If you write ActivityPub software, just support that format.

> Activity Pub can be authenticated in some cases, although I think that may be something Mastodon has implemented on top. Not sure.

None of the retrieval endpoints for the core activity data can be authenticated in Mastodon if you want federation to keep working properly, and much more data is retrievable without auth unless the user has marked specific subsets of data private. But if you're crawling your own account, with the right Accept: header, you'll get pretty much the same content in mostly the same (ActivityPub JSON) format as you get from an export.
Twitter's Onion site SSL cert looks to have expired
Validity Expires : Mon, 06 Mar 2023 07:46:46 GMT

It's unusual to have an SSL cert on an Onion site, but I guess it's for the enhanced verification stuff, the icon and so on.

Impossible to contact large organizations from the outside, so I'm posting here in the hope someone from Twitter notices.
Also, people tend to gravitate to a calm self-assured voice. The quick reply is more a hallmark of comedians and entertainers who need to quickly generate fame and popularity. Since the comedian is such a revered figure in American culture, perhaps that is why it is easy to try to mimic that approach.
Someone (I wish I could remember who) once argued that if you're trying to create an ecosystem around your product, you can't hoover up all the value, you have to leave some for the little guy. I've felt for a while that Google, with its various attempts to put the answer on the search results page, might be skirting dangerously close to that problem. It feels like the only value they're leaving on the table is the chance to sell stuff.

I really didn't want to switch. I don't know how to live without Termux anymore. Google's screwing up even that, now vital system calls like execve are no longer usable by apps so Termux won't even be able to spawn programs anymore. They worked around that by moving to F-Droid but who knows what Google is gonna screw up in the future. What's the point?

My plan is to buy an iPhone soon and then try to port postmarketOS to my current phone.

Reminded me of a game I used to play on Miniclip called UFO Joe!
The truth is that his ideas were always about his personality. Even the hyperloop he conceived because he wanted to dampen the CA HSR project and his general distate of public transit. Being someone who cared about public transit keyed me into the fact that he wasn't to be trusted quite early compared to everyone else.

This is the risk you drive with "great men" idols in any space, that's why it's always safest to talk about ideas and technologies themselves.
I've considered him to be a fraud and a liar for many years now, I'm not going to begrudge anybody for figuring this out only recently.

The A770 is more powerful than a 2060. 20 series is like the minimum because it makes use of Tensor cores which the 1660 and below lack which is why those can't do DLSS either. The Intel Arc cards can do similar tricks with XeSS and image/video upscaling is possible on Intel Arc GPUs using software like the stuff from Topaz Labs.
Reaction after skimming: If the budget at Southwest Airlines makes it an either-or decision, between keeping basic cabin safety equipment in working condition, vs. having pilots who perform extremely well in emergencies...okay, they made the right choice in going with the latter.
Are you knowledgeable in medical ethics? It’s well known that it’s unethical to be offering experimental treatments, even to desperate patients, that don’t have at least the very low bar of “does this cause immediate death or serious life worsening of animal models, does this appear to have any benefit in animal models”.

There was in fact a whole scandal about this recently with artificial tracheas. Living with a tube in your throat to breathe is a horrible way to live, but the people who got artificial ones died horrible and slow deaths because they evidence of their efficacy in mouse models were forged through a cult of personality of the head researcher and the promise of potential life changing gains.

Side note, while I don’t know the trends in Ibiza, in the USA pants marketed to men usually have pockets that can hold a smartphone (and often wallet too, though mine gets a separate pocket).

It’s not really a matter of personal size so the unsubtle body-shaming “I don’t know how big you are, but” is an irrelevant ad-hominem here, which weakens your comment. There’s no need to bring yourself so low in an internet conversation about buttons and sliders.

unlike astrology which suggests that differences in
personality are due to astral bodies

Tangential, but: I wonder if astrology might have been accidentally correct in some ways.

Clearly astrological bodies have no actual influence on us. I'm not that crazy.

However, mightn't the time of year of birth have a big influence? The amount of sunlight received, activities undertaken, and foods eaten by the expectant mother and newborn baby will vary based on time of year. The differences may be minor today, but would have been pretty profound in antiquity.

Imagine being born two thousand years ago in the northern latitudes during the deep winter. Mother and child experience six months of darkness, eating preserved and salted foods. Now imagine the opposite. You are born during summer. Mother and child get lots of sunlight and fresh food. Surely there are effects! I think it would be surprising if there were none.
No, aqme28 is wrong. There were comments about Musk before your comment. The very first comment on this submission (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35041016) was indeed about Musk, and also the second one (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35041042). Then there were others (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35041092) as well mixed into the whole thing, before you made your comment about it.

> We use them because their Kanban is nice

Did you notice Github's improvements to "projects" over the past couple years?

I feel like they missed doing a big announcement, cause it was like gradually implemented as a "beta" and then slowly filled in. But it's much better kanban now. Might still not be as good as gitlab's, I couldn't say.
I think it was originally used because A/B testing said there's a 1% increased "Yes" conversion rate when having to thank the company while declining, and then everyone started to copy Bigtech as always.
I completely agree with the point that banning/censoring people is necessary in order to operate any internet forum. But I know from firsthand experience that bans are used to stifle valuable discussion both on major subreddits and niche ones. I've seen it happen to me and to others.

For example, on an r/news post a few years ago about the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, I replied to another comment where my content was basically the following: "If someone threatened to bomb your house, and they had a history of bombing houses, would you respond? What about after they destroyed your house?". That's almost exactly the wording I used (wish the comment hadn't been deleted so I could repost it exactly). This not only got me permanently banned from r/news, but also reported to the admins who censored the account. I suspect I pissed off a reddit admin or power user who followed me around reporting me, as shortly afterwards in a niche sub, I made another post discussing the continuum of force when it came to violent crime, quickly received several reports, and my account was permabanned from reddit. Note that both the content and tone of my posts there were similar to how I post on HN, which I think is generally appropriate.

This sequence of events bothered me a lot, because I think discussion of the use of force continuum and the ethics of preemptive or retributive force are highly relevant to today's world, and that the places where I continued (didn't start) discussion of them were the appropriate places for them. If this conversation can't happen on reddit, which it appears it can't, then we need another forum. It is clear to me today that reddit has hit it's eternal september. I can't bring myself to respond to the multitude of low effort posts that typically bombard you when you post something other than memeing.
Inevitably a lot of people come here because they relate so a lot of you are slow thinkers who like to think of themselves as smart or different in a better way. It's the same phenomenon with so called "introverts."

I hate to tell you this but high IQ correlates with faster thinking. https://www.npr.org/2009/03/20/102169531/smart-people-really...

Everybody on HN likes to think of themselves as smart. This isn't true. Most people are average. I think this comment thread is an actual gathering of lower IQ people due to the lack of knowledge of the correlation between fast thinkers and IQ. First of it's kind I've seen.

Good to compare to threads that are loaded with higher IQ people. But you'd have to find another correlative trait to find that thread.

From a logical perspective IQ and faster thinking makes sense. In the same way a faster computer is categorically better in every front then a slower computer.

Another measure here is that you see a lot of people using Myers Briggs to state their personality type. This is despite the fact that the test itself has little science behind it. Very unlike an IQ test which has huge amounts of correlative evidence behind it. Higher IQ people likely wouldn't put any weight on the personality test.

There are some inevitable vote downs for this post but I'm still interested in contrasting this gathering of stupid people and responses to my post to other threads on HN where the IQ is obviously higher.

My own IQ is up in the air. Not sure if I'm a fast or slow thinker.
I think LiveView Native[0] could be very helpful in this regard, as per the project's goals, having ability to write mobile apps in the same language would greatly incentivize using it for web etc.

Hopefully that project continues to make progress, I'm looking forward to it for Android development.

One game I can think of being very similar, is a game within a game. Dungeons & Diagrams puzzle within Last Call BBS [0]. In that game you can place or remove walls for them to add up to the numbers shown per row/column. That game has another layer of strategy built on top, as there are certain "dungeon patterns" you could observe that would in theory guide you through completion. I myself haven't noticed any patterns when I've tried the game the first time, and just relied on the numbers shown. (Guess that's why I've only played 3-4 levels)

The Beautiful and Terrifying Arrival of an Early Spring
Nope, Quad9 was not started by IBM. It was an internal project of PCH, started in 2014 in response first to European privacy regulators who were being lobbied by Google for a one-off exemption for 8.8.8.8 in the run-up to GDPR implementation; then in 2015 a number of cybersecurity organizations were contacting us to do another (we'd built several global recursive resolvers before, while nobody else had done more than one, so it was reasonable for people to be coming to us for more) that did malware/phishing/tracking blocking. Since if we did two separate ones, people would have to choose between privacy and security, we decided to just roll the two projects into one. Because it was public-facing, in 2016 we spun it out into its own separate non-profit originally called "CleanerDNS." From past experience, we knew that a memorable IP address was crucial. We were working with APNIC, and they got us a good v6 address, but then, depending on your mood, we were either sincerely flattered, or tortious interference happened, and so we had to try for other of the other easy-to-remember ones. My friend Jeff Jonas was, at that time, an SVP at IBM, and stepped up and got us 9.9.9.0/24. That process started in July of 2017 and IBM's sponsorship wasn't publicly announced until November of 2017.
There are also good ways of using LLMs to write better papers that don't even require the LLM to contribute to the text!

Consider feeding your outline through the LLM alongside prompts like:

- "What's missing from this draft that a reader would expect to find in a top-tier conference paper?"

- "Do you see any problems with the {experiments,discussion,background,related work} section?"

- "What previous work should this paper cite that an expert would find relevant in this field?" (be sure to double-check the sources, LLMs tend to hallucinate with prompts like this)

- "What points is an expert in the field likely to raise during peer review?"

- "Which parts should be rephrased to make the paper sound more natural to a native English speaker?"

As an occasional peer reviewer, I could imagine conferences having a problem with GPT-generated paper submissions clogging up an already highly competitive acceptance pipeline. In case conferences start using detection tools to filter such manuscripts (and I'm torn on whether they should tbh), you can still use ChatGPT like a "friendly, expert colleague" who offers suggestions that you then draft yourself.

I think the application of ChatGPT that I like the most is where ChatGPT is a "friendly, expert editor that always has time to give you suggestions and offer advice," tightening the feedback loop between author and editor to help the author improve their writing. Think of it like a "human-learner-in-the-loop" AI system rather than a "replaces-a-human" AI system.
That looks just like making content tailored to subreddit it is posted, no shit it's popular.

> if you Ctrl-C while its downloading an update, you get in a weird state where nothing works

Something else is wrong here. I've aborted updates hundreds of times without problems. Uodates are atomic and this shouldn't happen.
Google is dying because the original internet that it searched is dying. That's not necessarily a bad thing and this isn't a "the sky is falling" statement - it's just the internet has changed. A lot. Nowadays people aren't creating their own websites - they're creating content and providing feedback on forums such as Reddit. The fact people are searching Reddit for whatever they need is a reflection of that new reality.
My rule of thumb is to turn your doubt into a question with experience attached to it. E.g. when someone says “there’s an API for that, it should be easy”, I note that not all APIs are equal (enumerate examples) and it must be reviewed before we commit to deadlines. And until that we must assume it’s not “easy”. Ask if research was done and whose responsibility it would be. If it wasn’t, then why we decided to meet. Hanging responsibilities onto dangling tongues explicitly makes them dangle less.

How hard to push back depends on the nature of discussion. Being too pessimistic in a research phase is not useful. But if it’s a contract worth half a year or more, spending few days evaluating assumptions is wise.

Remember that fast thinking is not actually fast, but shallow and/or optimistic.
> I think future archeologists will struggle with the opposite, with us leaving a gigantic amount of data behind

Or it's the opposite, because most of the electronic records will be lost. Depends on how far ahead you look for those future archeologists.

If you want to keep stuff for millennia you need clay tablets and stone, not USB sticks and magnetic tapes. Even microfilm - used extensively only a decades ago - is not all that durable (although it's better than electronic storage - https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2018/07/micro...).

Never mind anyone trying to read some PDF a thousand years from now, even if they somehow have the bits and bytes.

Lots of articles about this, just one random example link: https://www.historyextra.com/period/20th-century/will-histor...

Some think at least the important stuff is safe - but the problem is, unlike a stone stele, or a clay tablet by chance stored under just the right conditions, electronic records need to be actively managed and occasionally transferred to new media. It won't survive the millennia without active intervention. So the idea that our important historic electronic data is safe rests on the assumption that there will always be librarians who take care of save storage and occasional replication, and maintenance of the needed equipment. I think that's quite optimistic.

Innovative technology that facilitates communication across languages
Our team has developed a powerful online conference system that can simultaneously interpret multiple languages in real time, including Chinese, English, Japanese and Korean. The system uses advanced automatic speech recognition and translation technology, which can automatically identify the language of the participants, and translate the language spoken by other participants into your preferred language in real time and display it as text. We have verified that the system can display text smoothly and in near real time in meetings with up to 45 people in multiple languages. The system can be used in various occasions, such as international conferences, business negotiations, online education, etc. We're looking for developers with a passion for speech recognition and natural language processing to join our team as we continue to improve the system and bring it to the wider market. At the same time, we are also looking for a more stable message distribution method to ensure that the system can continue to operate efficiently.
We hope more people can experience the power of this system and provide valuable suggestions and feedback. We have established a complete sales system, if you are a channel partner and can help us achieve commercialization, we will share our achievements and profits with you. We believe that the system has huge market potential and can meet the communication needs between different languages around the world and become a bridge for transnational communication. We sincerely invite people with lofty ideals to join our team to promote the development and promotion of the system and benefit more people.
I mean, SO is still there... Just limit your search result to it, e.g. "java enum ordinal site:stackoverflow.com" (or others from stackexchange family).
1) You can write bad code in any language.

2) it’s a functional language. There are no objects. PHP doesn’t have guardrails for referential transparency or data immutability. These are first class concerns in a language that ergonomic to do functional programming in. PHP has never had these. It’s completely different and you are comparing apples to oranges.
I always get damn near the middle of the chart, on both axes.

But I think this confirms your claim in my case. For nearly every single answer on the test, my response is "it depends." I really could go either way on nearly every single question because I need more context.

It makes me think the whole test is essentially BS, kind of like a horoscope where you can read whatever you want into it.
