Time and again Indians prove themselves to be the most self-hating community of them all. Not everything has an agenda.

> Hindus were subjugated by Muslims and English

Which is historically true. All of North India has zero temples or structures of historic importance that are more than a few hundred years old. A Bihari Hindu should not have to go searching in Tamil Nadu for signs that his ancestors achieved things of significance.

> Indians were better

It doesn't come from a place of malice. But, as a people that have been beaten down. It does help to know that your civilization made significant contribution to shaping the world as we know it. A Muslim doesn't have to wonder, the Taj Mahal & Red fort are the 2 crowning jewels of India. India could vanish tomorrow & both Muslims + Christians would still have a flattering model of what their people had achieved in the rest of the world. Hindus are grounded in India, and (mostly) India alone. Great contributions of pre-invasion Indians do not have compete with the architectural wonders that later rulers built. Both can co-exist.

The large majority of Indian Muslims & Christians trace their cultural & ethnic origins to the populace that inhabited this land for the last (at least) 4000 years. There needn't be cognitive dissonance to acknowledge the achievements of of the common ancestor as part of a unified Indian identity.
I have personally witnessed "legacy" rails apps (were ~4 years old, Rails 5 was around but we were on Rails 3 IIRC) and they are not really unlike normal legacy apps but they definitely let a lot of crap seep in due to loads of contributors and almost zero ownership on the codebase.

I wouldn't say this an exclusively rails problem though. Testing was a complete nightmare, and there was so much random middlewares that were "mission critical" but no one knew what they did. And as you said, scaling was horrible. We had like a hundred servers, each running 20 unicorn instances, to serve our API at the scale we had (~5 million users or so, I forget the DAU)
> But now with these AI models Google should be able to assess the true value of a page

That'd be nice, but I am skeptical for a number of reasons. Not the least of which is that where Google has already applied AI, it has seemed to make things worse, not better.
"Allison Schrager is a Bloomberg Opinion columnist covering economics. A senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, she is author of "An Economist Walks Into a Brothel: And Other Unexpected Places to Understand Risk."

An economist walks into a brothel?! Wait, is she one of these people who think that Josefine Mutzenbacher isn't satire but a roadmap?
It's not transparent so it's easily abused with the victim possibly not even knowing they've been punished, let alone having any recourse. We saw that with Twitter shadowbanning people in ambiguous ways for political reasons to manipulate the public opinion.

This might sound funny since I'm shadowbanned on here myself :P But I probably deserved it.
> With IPv6 hell knows what their hex-colon monstrosities would be.

You would know exactly, because every IPv6-enabled interface has a link-local predictable IPv6 address derived from its MAC address.
Ah, the days when you didn't have a manger asking for status updates daily on your deliverables that are vaguely defined. Having time to investigate interesting detours

I get it. But sometimes there are people focused on their 1% and see you as part of that.

"Opening the world up" is them signalling that the rebrand is focused on accessibility and I feel like this point was lost on GP. That's all I'm addressing

If you wanna critique the design itself, I have nothing to say about that.

But, fwiw, you're the only one I've seen in this thread criticize that the new design is "bland" but you're entitled to that opinion. What decisions would you wish they'd made differently to make the new design less bland and confusing?
Javascript is a language like many since 1961, too, and not the best of them; it has the unique advantage of having been universally implemented and deployed already.

Same thing with WASM. JVM never achieved this level of penetration, and Flash allowed way too much access to ever be secured.

The author seems like an enlightened high IQ centrist.

>Science and medicine have come under attack, mainly from the left, by problematizing their epistemic foundations and achievements. In the past, attacks on science came principally from the right and this may happen again. I have a clear non-partisan standpoint and I am critical of both the right and the left. I am very much in line with the critics of SJI coming from the left (see: Neiman, 2023, forthcoming).

I see both side, but the real problem right now is the bureaucratic intricacies of academia coming from "the left".

Ask HN: Are universities places of free-thinking and growth?
I’m not as interested in university for the courses, but more so for a social experience that would expose me to people studying a wide range of subjects with an eye to improve the way of the world.

Was it ever like this? Or am I being idealistic?

I feel like our culture as a whole is a little more strapped for cash, hence needing to work often, and therefore relaxing and thinking less. There seems to be more censorship, and the universities themselves are more corporate rather than truly offering nurturing environments for student growth and wellbeing.

Is the era of going to university for more than just a degree over?
It'd be nice for HN to support bulleted lists, so we could go for readability without using blank lines.
>however leverage was ultra-cheap

In nominal dollars yes... but the downside risk was the true cost.

Get in at a low rate and comfortably afford it, then you're doing great despite maybe being underwater for now. But default while underwater and lose whatever you put down plus the difference in price.

TINFA but, exposure to real estate is generally/historically a good hedge to keep pace with wage inflation. I disagree with OP; getting in before rate hikes wasn't necessarily a mistake. But mortgages work the same way that ESPPs and RSU grants work, banks/companies/governments hedge downside risk by convincing a whole bunch of people to be long on a stock (or real estate).
EasyList Cookie. uBlockOrigin has it built in. FF mobile can run it.
You can't use a smaller subnet than /64 for devices that use SLAAC for address allocation.

(Unless you're putting them behind an IPv6 NAT, so thry can have their oen private /64).
Node-RED is really tough for Bun to support because it relies on sloppy mode features like implicit global variable assignment (assigning a variable without var/let/const) and Bun currently treats every file as ESM (and transpiles CJS for compatibility)
I think this is more like technical bankruptcy
> There is no evidence given that we are seeing more Waluiginess post-RLHF than we did pre-RLHF.

Testing with the non-RLHF GPT 3.5 API you could probably figure out whether there's more or less Waluiginess, but you're right they post doesn't present this.
Errm, fixed != floating.

I've lived most of my life in rural areas. People are leaving these communities in droves because of the lack of opportunity. It's folly to think sending more people back to them will make them somehow viable. I'm not convinced you can artificially create demand for housing folk in rural areas. China has been trying that for decades and the results are ghost cities.

https://uschinatoday.org/features/2022/01/11/cities-lost-in-...

Edit: To expand on this, the internet has killed rural communities. There's little to no need for corner stores which used to support these areas and hell you can get alcohol shipped to you as well so you dwindle down to a few bars. Maybe one hairdresser, but everyone knows someone's aunt who cuts hair out of her house. Same with an auto shop. There's maybe one attached to the only gas station in town. Most people know someone's uncle who can fix anything with a motor so there's little demand for more. There's just not enough people there to sustain the support community that would prosper from moving in. You can't artificially create either the supply side or the demand side in rural areas short of forced migrations and the supply side is unsustainable in these areas short of banning online orders or removing mail subsidies for shipped packages so that you can force more local commerce.

Forget about anything culturally divergent. Theaters require specific tastes which require a significant enough of a population to support performances outside of a churches Christmas pageant. Same with food. You'll get a few mom and pop shops one Mexican restaurant and maybe a Chinese restaurant if you're lucky. Otherwise it's chain stores like McDonald's and Pizza Hut. Oh and gas station pizza is popular. There just isn't a large enough of a population to support more eclectic food options. There's no draw to providing these services to a population too small to create a living off of.

And company towns aren't the solution either. Very, very few companies require enough people concentrated in an area to justify building a town much less a city around. And it's been shown time and time again that companies are perfectly willing to abandon areas when they can find more profit elsewhere. See the entire history of cities built around shipping and mining and logging and automotive construction being completely wiped out when the sole industries which supported them collapse or move elsewhere.
I still think that in the next pendulum swing we'll end up with edge computing and (smaller) self-hosted backends. Everything old is new again, and we haven't entirely recreated Akamai from first principles yet.

> Nobody bothers to do this kind of tracking because web browsers leak 100x more information by default anyway.

If I told my security information officer "We don't protect against foreseeable threat X because we assume no one will bother to try X" she would not be very happy with me.

When a valid data concern has been expressed and described, putting your head in the sand is the incorrect response. I want IPv4 to die as much as the next person but at a minimum organizations such as hospitals and government installations will not accept that sort of outside visibility into their network.
I've seen people decry the amortization schedule before as if it's because there's some cabal of evil bankers in monocles twisting their mustaches and cackling about how they're screwing everyone over. It's just how the math works out when you have a 360-payment loan for half a million dollars - there's nothing remotely sinister about it.

Just like renting vs. buying there are times where refinancing to a lower rate will save you money in terms of total paid, and times where you may a similar or higher amount but will save in monthly payments. Like everything else you just need to do the math and see if it's worth the fees to get the new loan or not.
Well, if he works assuming he knows those things, he will fail in doing science.

(Unless by those things you mean the scientific method, because scientists usually practice that one.)
You have a weird theory that ignores actual history. Most of the West was able to offer society affordable housing for much of the post-war period. And you are, again, confusing a preference with "unaffordable" which is an absolute.
Bare with me here:

Why is it that articles need to start with lines like

> "The winter morning was cloaked in thick fog..."

and postpone the actual information pertaining to the title? Instead, we have to sift through irrelevant story-like content to get to the meat of the information and facts.

Will one promise of tools like ChatGPT and their successors be to summarize-away this fluff?
MAG?
Seems like a complicated solution to a problem that does not exist. You cannot turn on lights at all without a working network? If your router crashes your whole house is stuck? Seems like there is a bigger issue than the IPv6 protocol
Yeah I agree it doesn't show increased bad behaviour. It's definitely a weak point in the argument.

The theory is extremely interesting though. And better yet, it's falsifiable!
If someone went around compared an RLHF model vs non-RLHF and found them equally likely to 'Waluigi' then we'd know this is false. And conversely if we found the RLHF more likely to Waluigi then it's evidence in favour.

The asymmetry in the hypothesis is really nice too.
If this was true then I'd expect it to be possible to flip the sign in the RLHF step, effectively training it in favour of 'bad' behaviour. Then forcefully inducing 'Waluigi collapse' before opening to the public!

It's interesting to me that this has only started happening now. Makes me wonder what kind of mess was happening behind the scenes and how it was being papered over before Musk took over. This doesn't just happen overnight.

We've all been there, we rush out a temporary fix that turns into a permanent fixture. I suspect with the cost cutting measures it's all caught up with the team now.
people used to do this naturally because back in the day there wasnt a "just coder" role.
Digital Ocean has horrible IPv6 support, I would just move to another provider. Most VPS providers will, at the very least, provide you with a /64.
It's strategic messaging. It can't be genuine, because of what it is. The benefit they get is publicity and damage control, and as you can tell by the many responses here, it buys them time because many developers are willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.

Companies that engage in this kind of candor are careful not to disclose those things that would really hurt their business. Those things are still kept secret. If the CEO accidentally sexually harassed an employee that's not getting disclosed. A mea culpa is only offered for the issues that are already known regarding scaling, downtime, and missing features. Struggles they have because they're choosing to grow so fast.
What…?

300K post taxes is basically 150K, the are probably paying 60K+ in rent and another 30+ in other basic cost of living expenses.
Interesting and universally relatable proposition that challenges pronatalist entitlements.
There are market opportunities at all axes:

- Some people genuinely need a faster dishwasher, because having clean dishes in a timely fashion is important.

- Some people need cleaner dishes than others. Cleanliness isn't binary.

- Some people need a more energy efficient dishwasher.

- Some people need a smaller/bigger/more corrosion-resistant/quiet/heavy duty/etc. dishwasher than the market norm.

The trick is figuring out which of these axes have a high ROI.

(Render founder) We're still on public clouds because even if it doesn't help with margins, it helps us move faster on features our customers want. It's all one big prioritization problem (and lots of little ones too!).
One of the biggest benefits to refinancing is being able to lower your payment and put that money to work elsewhere. Yes you can just keep making the same payment and save some money (less and less the farther along in the loan you are) but most people have debt that is at a higher interest rate than their mortgage so they're better off putting the money there.
The amount of firewall config I have to write to let an incoming connection cross from WAN to LAN is the same regardless of whether it goes to a NAT'd IPv4 address or to an IPv6 address.

So we've established

1) You're in favor of better safety for passengers, which would mean better to put them in cab than bed.

2) You're against "pretending" need for carge bed, which would mean reducing or eliminating bed as fraction of full size of vehicle.

Put the two together and we see increasing fractional (%) cab sizes and decreasing fractional (%) bed size. which means we're getting exactly what you asked for. And you act surprised that when people get what they ask for, sales are better?
> the larger thing likely either knows [about the fall] and can comprehend this message trivially, or does not and summoning help is the proper action to take.

You did say "likely" but to provide an example: skiers who know they fell cannot comprehend the message trivially (not having noticed it's existence) and summoning help is often not the proper action to take. Call centers serving ski towns are swamped with false positives due to this issue.
And you get to take her stuff. If those are your fears marry for risk aversion. Marry someone who makes more money and has more stuff.

You do know that the government can already remove whatever they want? Why is this evil at all compared to what we already have? All it does is give us more due process and clearer rules than before when it was up to private actors to do it.

For example, do you think it is more evil that Google can ban you for any reason without telling you why, or the government being able to ban you while stating exactly why and you having legal rights? I think the first is worse than the second, so moving from the first to the second is a positive development.
The issue is that for a lot of ingredients -- flour notably among them -- you can't measure accurately by volume. If you're looking for reproducibility, you have to measure by weight.

And once you start measuring some things by weight, you quickly realize that most things are easier to measure out by weight than volume (particularly sticky ingredients like honey), so you start wanting to measure everything that isn't a tiny amount by weight.

I convert all of the recipes I collect to gram measurements for this reason.
> (though if you squint, road hierarchy is somewhat tree-like, I suppose, though with more intra-branch connections)

Intra-branch connections are your mistake. Don't do that. If you're purely a tree-shape, there's no Braess paradox because each neighborhood (or housing unit) only has _one_ path to the rest of the city.

The minute you have 2, 3, or 4 different paths to reach the same house, is the minute that paradox starts to bite you in the ass. So just avoid it completely with a 100% tree-like branching behavior. One path means you have absolute control and force the little cars to go down the exact paths you want.

-------------

Yes, roads and intersections will saturate. At that point, stop building in that neighborhood and build another branch of your tree.

I don't think I ever found a reason to do a non-tree design in the game, aside from simulating realism. But if you're just designing neighborhoods to minimize traffic and maximize population, a pure tree is the obvious approach.

IIRC, there's no residential-to-residential traffic. Its all residential-to-commercial, and then commercial-to-residential. That's why a pure tree works. Or industry-to-commercial, and then commercial-to-industry.
Genuine question: do you really need to put things in folders in google drive given how good their search engine is?

This can be a way to lock users in, as it’s probably more painful to migrate thousands of unorganized files to a new platform.

It’s basically lock-in through search performance.
It's important to distinguish between stateful and stateless DHCPv6. stateless DHCPv6 is fine. It's just a way for nodes to get dns/ntp/etc. Nodes still select their addresses with SLAAC.

Stateful DHCPv6 is the bad one. It assigns hosts specific addresses.

> the router essentially always knows the MAC address, IP address and hostname of each device.

You can still have this with ipv6 addresses. They easiest way is to use eui64, the original ipv6 addressing scheme where the address is calculated from the subnet + the MAC address of the interface. That way server VMs get deterministic addresses. If you use network-manager you can configure eui64 with the "add-gen-mode=eui64" setting.

In my homelab, I have a few server VMs that use eui64 addressing whereas the end user devices use privacy addresses randomly selected from the subnet.

As a tech leader how to tell people to course correct when they are wrong?
So I am dev who's been managing people for fairly recently.

I also manage people who manage other devs.

The thing that I am struggling with the most is how to point out where people are clearly going to go wrong and correct them?

For example, A dev who reports into me decided to do something in a certain way which:
1. Is clearly not required.
2. Takes things personally when corrected.

How do I give feedback/course correct without upsetting people. I understand how developments works(still do significant IC work) and understand that people want to try out different things, however I work in a startup and we don't have the luxury of doing things long tail.

How do I balance this? Whenever I ask people for the reason they are doing things, all I get are grumpy faces.

I also feel like I am being a bit of an hypocrite -> I am the last person who would want to do this, because I used to be like the dev I mentioned above, and have caused major issues in the past by making decisions like this, but they also enabled me to learn from it. However I didn't own the whole software org at that time, but do now. Should I just stop saying anything and let people fall(and hoping they learn from it).
