That looks like a bot account if you ask me. It does not post, and replies only to news articles and elon musk. Plus a comment about Israel Palestine.
Ok, you're still not getting it. Yes, if you just look from top to bottom, you're not seeing the chronological order of when comments happened. When you say "you made the first comment" you're implying "first" in the chronological order.
I remember being taught in school about the important Muslim contributions to science, philosophy, and mathematics. It has been interesting to learn over time that much of this was inherited from Indian scientists, philosophers, and mathematicians (and it has been disquieting to learn what “inherited” is a euphemism for).
Yeah for sure. I like both sides, which means I can either talk to everyone or I care too much/about the wrong things. :)
I work at Google on user facing product. I’m aware that my job is to make people like going to our website enough that they make searches for things that are sometimes ads. It’s the same as writing for a sitcom on tv. My whole purpose is to attract people with entertainment so they can be suggested to engage in some commercial activity.
I never got this argument and I now where this point devolves into - I see this take a lot from Chinese on Weibo, locally here in Asia, and by Chinese people in the States. I’m Taiwanese-American for background.

If China were to interfere domestically into U.S affairs covertly and somehow convince Texas into secession - I would find it difficult to believe the United States would go to war with Texas. If it was democratically voted, most Americans would be fine with it. It would be extremely unpopular to go to war over this. Just reverse it, if California were to leave the Union, most conservative states would say good riddance. Now bomb SF? Not even the most deranged Americans would want that.
I've always wanted to say, in response to a request for an estimate on a large project, "let me work on it a few weeks and then I'll tell you."
How easy is it to deploy things with GitHub actions, AWS and terraform instead? I think I’d like full infrastructure control after having accidentally got a job doing DevOps which I’m starting to get quite into. I should probably write up a blogpost about converting everything over…
US State Department says in black and white on their website that Taiwan is part of China. The fact that you keep trying to pretend there's some ambiguity here is beyond hilarious.
Bosses also like being able to walk around the floor and see people working, and like the power trip of being able to physically tap people on the shoulder and pull them into a meeting.

Universal Speech Model (USM): State-of-the-art speech AI for 100+ languages
Not just Android. My laptop does it too (NetworkManager). That's just IPv4 on devices designed to travel so it seems a fair thing to do. Bloody pain to diagnose why a static DHCP lease isn't working the first time, after that you find the mechanisms to turn it off. Nearly everything does it for IPv6, for a given value of everything!

For decades we have generally allowed all outbound and worried and fretted about and filtered inbound. I think it is time for us all to get a grip and do the job properly. However, with the delights of DNS over http and the like, the horse has not only bolted but has a new paint job, far better shoes than you can afford, eats grass that was prepared by a Michelin starred chef and belongs to someone else now.

We all need to be far more sophisticated about how traffic (knowledge/ideas/data) flows in and out of our networks/lives. Packet filtering is just one tool in the box and worrying about an addressing scheme being global (IPv6) instead of a weird hybrid (IPv4) is completely missing the real issue stabbing you in the nadgers.
I dont think its unreasonable for one’s credit score to get dinged if half a dozen lenders check their score - that means the consumer went through the initial stages of trying to get multiple loans.

But more importantly the ding is maybe 10 points which is pretty much irrelevant to the “buckets” that define credit worthiness (>800, 700-800, etc).

Plus individual lenders can look at the report themselves and make their own determination.
Outcomes aren't binary. You can burn a few factories and many will escape but the vast majority of humans will want to get on with life and rebuild the jobs they had.

"It's been two years of no work and little food. China offers you a great salary to do what you did before the war. Do you A) Say no! B) Feed your kid and rebuild the factory."
Who is "them" to you? I'm referring to gullible people by the trait of being gullible. They are by definition gullible. Whether or not I'm within that group depends on the topic, though I'm sure for some, that I am. I don't think you understood that part of my argument. Or, maybe I didn't understand yours. In either case, it seems to me this is rather unproductive. Have a nice day.

I don't agree. We basically ban people from living in the city with zoning, and even to the extent that the problem isn't zoning we could treat housing more like we treat other public services (electricity) and just make sure that it's available. There's no natural law that things have to be this way, it's a choice that we make and I think it is reasonable to ask it to change.

Nobody bats an eye when we build substations to support the lights in the restaurant, but building homes for the workers is "not realistic."

Sounds good. I recommend going through the Coolify install and set up process (and adding applications and services, as Coolify calls them) which would give you more insight as to how they set it up.

By GitHub app I meant that Coolify makes you install its own custom GitHub app that then allows you to git push to deploy.

A taste of Brazil: How guaraná soda became a national icon
Don't forget that back in 1981 that the IBM-PC was just being released and PCDOS 1.0 was the main operating system for it. That's if you weren't using 8-bit CP/M instead. Directories and sub-directories? - what are those?

Most (ALL?) of the criticisms of Unix in the article also applied to the operating systems of the day too. The Unix of the day was miles ahead of any of its peers. In fact, apart from the Desktop metaphor (which Unix had many years before Windows was a glint in Gates' eye), the directory-structure of the Unix of today is very little different. Showing that 'If it works, don't fix it'.

It's often said that quality withstands the Test of Time. We're still using Unix 40 years after that article first came out. Even the Mac users. <grin>
Ask HN: How do investors make money?
There is a lot of articles and books about how index funds are the only way that to make money reliably in the stock market. If this is true, how do other investors and day traders make money? I don't know about day traders, is it possible they don't make money. But investors? As in money managers, and straight up investors? Hedge fund managers and the such? I assume they don't just put their money in the S&P 500 and leave it there. If that were true their jobs wouldn't exist! So how do these people actually make money if there is no reliable way to predict the market and the market is not completely correlated to anything?
"Second system syndrome" is what came to my mind. But I'm wicked old.
You're not prompting it to "find text". Comparing the size of the model to the size of the training data is sufficient to conclusively establish that it's an impossibility.

We train it to predict the next word based on the training data, that is true. But we still have no idea what kind of internal structures said training actually produces inside of neural net. It sure as hell isn't just a "stochastic parrot", though, which is rather obvious if you ever tried giving it a complicated multi-step task and solve it while "thinking out loud".
Replace "computers" with "metal" and it seems about as likely, and as interesting as far as thought experiments go.

The problem there may be that you've constructed a latent space which has a shape of the thing to avoid. That's the problem with prompts like "don't think of a pink elephant" - it has to know what those words mean. Better to not label it so there isn't a way in there, if you can.

And of course humans also have this issue.
Allocations describe how many new blocks are being assigned. For adoption you'd want something like this link https://bgp.potaroo.net/v6/as2.0/index.html which displays the number of IPv6 advertisements at a given time, including assignments that were made in previous years from prior allocations.
Given Copilot's specialization for this task, I can imagine it being better at extrapolating from your own code. I haven't used it myself yet, so can't speak directly to its effectiveness, but I would imagine it would be good at automating much of the drudge work of coding, but similar to ChatGPT as far as coming up with novel solutions to problems. Which again, isn't to say it's not potentially a very useful tool!

The rural part doesn't explain why housing in places like Tokyo has not increased despite population increase, or why dense metro area used to be affordable.

We need to fix the root problem. There are people getting priced out of places they grew up in because of bad housing policy. Start with the zoning laws.
I admire your sentiment, at the same time founding teams don't typically say no to US$XX,XXX,XXX,XXX acquisition offers that'd cash you out for at least a few billion to you personally.

Are there any examples where the capitalism bottom line is ignored and a company keeps growing with extremely premium generous acquisition offers on the table? I can't think of any, but there could be a few. However, I expect it's pretty rare.

For companies with such tremendous growth, the venture capitalist firms are primarily looking to make their <big-multiplier> return and push priorities accordingly (understandably).

The only constant in life is change, it's best to focus on what you can do right now, today, and only put out promises or commitments that you have the necessary influence to follow through on. Some things are bigger than each of us.

I've never heard the elitist basis of the HN title policy expressed so plainly. So it's not to preserve the sanity of neurodivergent readers, or stop them from getting annoyed with tricksy titles that have to be decoded, or to maintain a serious tone, but actually (and merely) to establish HN as somehow above the throng.

Elitism. Snobbery. Ugh.
Yeah, but generally when you're doing that you shouldn't. Isn't it annoying when people say "order of magnitude" when they mean "a lot"?

Eh. Overfishing isn't a problem for the earth, or for the oceans, or for ocean life. It's a problem for the fishing industry.

We send certain types of boats with certain types of gear out to certain small areas where we have found concentrations of certain kinds of fish, and they catch lots and bring them back to factories with certain kinds of processing equipment which then send the product out to be consumed.

And after a while we've caught a good percentage of that concentration of fish, and then they start to peter out and it become uneconomical to run that entire costly process. And so we then identify other kinds of edible ocean life, and we change our boats and gear and locations and seasons and factories at great cost, and consume a different batch of fish.

And while we're on that second effort, the first area is being repopulated with the first type of fish, or maybe another, because the food sources for fish are still out there and available - the planktons and smaller fish - and nature abhors a vacuum.

It's all just a cycle. Fish stocks may move around in response to our overfishing - more reproduction over here, bigger schools back in the same place once we move on - but the net effect is that the biomass remains the same.

But change is expensive, and so we hear from the payers about how we're overfishing "their" fishstocks.

We're a tiny blip on the oceans' consumption radar. Don't mourn for the fish. Mourn for the people who need different boats and gear and territories every ten years or so.

If we were to stick to the legal fiction that there is only one China, you will have to follow through, instead of switching the narrative in the middle. Show me an international agreement where the government of ROC is a considered "Chinese province." In the "one China" world, foreign governments talking with a Chinese government sitting at Taipei is no more "interfering with a Chinese province" than them talking with a Chinese government at Beijing.
Yeah. I thought maybe the author of that post was confusing "three wires" with "three phases".

I don't know about the EU, but in the US there's almost always a grounded neutral point on three phase systems, even if the loads are all phase to phase. All the literature I've ever found says corner grounded deltas are "not to be used in new installations", and ungrounded deltas are similarly discouraged.

Being briefly mentioned in the dataset would not really help it, because it doesn't "remember" the entirety of the dataset anyway. It would have to be something described repeatedly in the training inputs for ChatGPT to really remember the rules with this level of precision.

Many of the companies/organizations in the IPv6 space are some of the most friendly and easy to work with in the industry
I think overall Coolify is a bit more modern. It uses some different components (e. g. Traefik vs Nginx for reverse proxying), and includes a UI in its basic package (Dokku was CLI only for a long time, now they have Dokku Pro with a Web UI). Otherwise it looks like the architecture is pretty much the same.

Re: business model: both Coolify and Dokku are open source, so even if their development stops, you can continue to use them no matter what. (You do have to pay for your own servers though :-) So it's not a PaaS in the traditional sense (like Fly.io or Heroku), but more like “build your own PaaS” thing.
Likewise, it is a well-known app among writers.
Can you describe the concrete harm that comes from data collection?
Enterprise code is brittle. It's limited by business requirements like having multiple teams working on the same feature, or having the flexibility to change teams and have new people work on partially finished code.

In theory we could make software that lasts for decades, given some languages have been around for that long. Even if the programming languages changed, software could be abstracted and worked on a level that transcends technical specs. The problem is that it is not viable for large organizations with hundreds of engineers that are constantly rotating and changing focus. Business is too short-term oriented to care for any benefits of long-term engineering. I'm not saying it's good or bad, and maybe this changes as we move further and further into the information age.

"bet I can improve it a bit and I have zero typography/design skills" so how do you know your changes are actually an improvement?
This looks very interesting. It seems to work on a regex match, so you'd set what you want to see alerted on and then you receive alerts if that match is made?

I like the opposite method - default alert on everything and develop an allowlist that quietens things down you don't want to hear. This is great for alerting you to unexpected things. And once in a while you actually want to know about some of those things :-)

It may sound very noisy but it's not too bad, especially once you're allowlist is setup. Logcheck[0] is a good tool for this and it runs by default at 2 minutes past each hour, emailing in a report of everything that isn't allowed. I think it matches some regex to what it deems higher threat events and those are always alerted on.

I'll conceed that this method isn't stellar for cattle! And we don't bother with it for things like kubernetes clusters or servers with semi-regular turnover for instance.

For pets and long lived servers that need looking after it's a good tool.

Author George O Smith went into great detail about space and vacuum tubes. Actually remember it as a great read.
Placing an upper limit on the half life means that zero is within the reported bounds, so they are considering the possibility.

Whether to fund difficult research, when it's reasonable to give up, and when it escapes beyond reasonable definitions of science, are separate questions. Physics is wrestling with these questions in a number of areas, such as the search for an empirically testable theory that reconciles quantum mechanics and gravity.

The life sciences have no equivalent. Precision measurement is not their bag, which is OK. Physics is the first to arrive at such a roadblock. Maybe the search for proofs of some famous math conjectures is an analogy to draw guidance from.
You could do the same before with Niv. The new flake.nix format is pretty awful too (why do I need to declare every supported target triple separately?!).

It's really a two way street and both sides need to grow into earning each other's respect and trust.

> Why would a PM involves devs early if the dev team has demonstrated that they are not interested in understanding the rest of the business?

They wouldn't. Because in order to really trust someone to take more responsibility this interest is a prerequisite.

In the ideal case the developer _wants_ to hear about the problems that need solving, not be assigned specific tasks. And a PM _wants_ to leave technical responsibility and agency in the hands of the developer, shield them from politics and trust their decisions.

Mistakes happen and there are ups and downs to these relationships. But it has to start with building mutual trust.
Because these laptops often have dreadful compute performance as well.

Don't you mean US-centric? I don't recall a UK city where there wasn't a grocery store within a 10 minute walk of everywhere and I don't recall visiting a city in Europe that wasn't pretty much the same.
I am extremely optimistic looking at the CK3 DLCs though - they're closer to the early CK2 expansions that massively rehaul large portions of the game mechanics. I'm not certain if they're fully committed to that direction but it certainly feels better to look at those sorts of expansions than, say, HoI4 or some of the EU4 expansions which are generally just regional flavor packs.

I think they're not enamored of their reputation for crap shoveling and are making a concerted effort to deliver more value with their overhauls and that's why I've never really viewed them the same as skin-pushers like Roblox, CS:GO, The Sims or Fortnite.
