This is referred to as “straight piping” in the car community, and you are correct it’s basically replacing the entire exhaust system with a straight pipe from the engine to the back. Even very weak Honda’s can be absurdly loud with this.
I think semi-private communities will be the way forward. Open ended forums just don't work. I play Magic The Gathering, the public Discord and Reddits are awful. Twitter even worse. There's then a subset of Discord servers that are great to hang out in, and since most people get to know eachother it also makes everyone nicer.

Similar thing for a dev tools builders Discord I moderate, it's invite-only and the discussion is very good and non-extreme. The cynics self-select themselves out quickly as there's no likes to be earned.

something that I've noticed which wasn't happening 5 years ago is the insane number of people clearly from India flooding me with emails/phones and rather rude (or at least socially inept) SMS messages, and almost always asking me for SSN digits, DOB, or photos of ID to get an interview (as if) did get one interview via one of these fellows without such nonsense but then they wanted to record the video interview to show the client, I couldn't just interview with the client directly? so I got cold feet and tapped out, just felt off... BUT then I went ahead with a similar one a month later, still didn't feel super right, but whatever, at least it seemed like it was a direct hire this time, guy was nice and seemed legit, got the impression they wanted me for customer facing but def. for mentoring/managing offshore newb team, seemed like the entire company was Indian

You know what? I'm fine.

It's easy to think what you see on the Internet is real, but it's not; at most, it's only part of what's real. There's a huge segment of the population that doesn't reveal itself on the internet in a personal sense, and is not a part of "Internet drama". They, for the most part, shrug at politics and social fads and war and rumors of war, and are just fine.

Maybe those of us who believe we are not fine should try to learn what the ones who are fine are doing differently, and emulate them.

I like going to the shooting range. It gives me something to look forward to. The range I go to is outdoor, so I get some fresh air too. I walk 100-200 yards and back to place my targets, then again every time I need a fresh one. I also shoot clays sometimes, which is a blast (pun intended).

When I'm really feeling bad, mild exercise seems to do wonders. I'll walk briskly for 30 minutes usually and feel better afterwords, at least for a short while.

It absolutely is an issue for children. The botulism toxin can be destroyed with heat, but the spores are significantly more resistant to it. And as the WHO explains, it's the spores that are the root of the problem for children:

"Infant botulism occurs mostly in infants under 6 months of age. Different from foodborne botulism caused by ingestion of pre-formed toxins in food, it occurs when infants ingest C. botulinum spores, which germinate into bacteria that colonize in the gut and release toxins. In most adults and children older than about 6 months, this would not happen because natural defences in intestines that develop over time prevent germination and growth of the bacterium."

Brave private ads system is off by default. Users enable it voluntarily and get 70% of the gross without any data on our servers. Ad matching is done via a pushed ad catalog and local-to-browser machines learning. Impression counting for revshare payments uses a Chaumian blind signature protocol (same crypto as Privacy Pass). If I cold-read your comment here, I get the impression you think Brave's ads are on by default, or you want to leave that impression on readers. It's false.

We also do not inject ads into pages. The opt-in private ads go in your ad slots (notifications, new tab pages), not in any publisher slots.

The serial and parallel GCs are best used for applications that care more about throughput than latency (pauses). If you only have one CPU core, running multiple threads isn't going to speed up the GC cycle. The parallel collector just adds overhead due to context switching among threads.
I’ve observed that so much of the news is published before the facts are even out. In a race to be first, they present half a story that hasn’t been verified yet. So you are left to either be outraged preemptively or just ignore the story entirely as it’s currently useless.
It's a bit harder because the fish tend to be larger, but I've always had way more luck with proper catches and developed quite a preference for fishing on ocean as long as there's access to that.

I learned from a professional fisherman how to catch fish without a rod - Hook, line, sinker, and a piece of wood to wrap the line around, attached with a decent amount of line anchoring it in place, along with something like a garden glove guarding your hand as you wrap it to pull the catch in are all you need, you can sling out a line far enough into the ocean as long as you're careful enough to use the right technique and not get it tangled on anything like your head. You won't be catching the largest fish this way but if you know you're not in for anything too crazy it's incredibly effective.

"venues have a lot of expenses, including employing staff and keeping up with the rising costs to put on shows including building upgrades, insurance, paying suppliers and more."

Ah yes, those exotic expenses unique to putting on concerts, including paying employees and not stiffing vendors...none of us in other industries could possibly understand. I'm frustrated because an offer of a refund still feels like a partial win for Ticketmaster. While I am not a ticket holder in this case, past attempts to collect refunds have involved so many hoops and demand such a privacy-violating amount of personal information to "prove" you are owed money, that it doesn't feel like a worthwhile trade off for anything less than $20.

The Input font family by David Jonathan Ross focuses on monospace programming fonts, but it also contains a nice sans-serif font that kind of has a similar aesthetic.

This is doomed to failure. More of something that hasn't previously worked doesn't solve anything. There's a saying, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result.

The main issues revolve around two things, lack of education about malign influence campaigns and their tactics and targeted blindspots, and structural issues that allow a many to one communication while giving the illusion that its one to one (i.e. bot accounts posing as people to amplify or de-amplify). A large portion of our identities are developed through reflected appraisal, and when you interfere with core identity, and you see it everywhere, this becomes distorted, and can induce demoralized psychological states that include both radically violent states, as well as unresponsive states. Now if you have a destabilizing event, very few resources are actually needed to topple governments as was seen in 1953 with the Shah coup.

People generally act and do crazy things when they are isolated and marginalized, its illegal to treat animals that way, and that hasn't stopped technology which allows the perfect weapon to do just that to people, often without their knowledge.

This at its core is what political warfare is all about, winning at any cost without war, and there is a very detailed book which has been written and is available for free from US Marine Corp University's Publisher.

If you can't identify malign influence, then you are doomed to be a victim of it.

The Russian's have called it ideological subversion, the Chinese call it the destruction of national will. Its all the same, and because we value free speech it has been allowed to fester and poison for several generations.

You even have people pushing socialist policies now without even knowing its socialist themselves, and without any true understanding of the structural deficits inherent in what they are pushing, such as corruption, shortages, economic calculation problem, and a number of other areas that inevitably make it an unstable system over time.

This and other interference is what drives a lot of these issues. Its not rocket science.

There's a reason those countries are enemies. They have used malign influence to corrupt and subvert, targeting future generations to destroy our civilization. We as a country largely dismantled our political warfare machinery back in the 70s, at least according to multiple history books I've read, while they haven't stopped, and have in fact developed it even further in scale and scope.
Yeah, at a job I worked at before there were two differences between our branded product and the store brand: The packaging/label, and the amount of thickener so that it would have a slightly different texture. Otherwise, same employees making it on the same machines with the same ingredients.

They did always have that one small change in there though, so that it wouldn't be exactly the same. Nothing you'd ever notice as a customer. Just a technicality so that each one could claim their own unique formula.

I think with another type of product it wasn't the thickness but a slight difference in the ratio of the flavorings - more raspberry and less blueberry here, more blueberry and less raspberry there.

The US has not been observed doing similar things to your ridiculous narrative in the past.

(Also, if others have speculated, you intend to refer to Israel, their arms were homegrown, not imported, their main technology partner was France, and while by the very end of the program they were on better terms with the US, through much of the time that you conjecture this conspiracy was happening US-Israel relations weren’t great – see, e.g., the Suez Crisis – so it really doesn’t make all that much sense.)

Real estate crisis, wage stagnation, ballooning college debt (and a degree required for barely-middle-class living), increasing wealth gap, increasingly unaffordable healthcare, a full frontal attack on civil rights (abortion is just one example), militarization of police and impunity when they break the law, ultra-right (aka fascist) groups taking over the conservative party on a platform of division and hurting "the other side", COVID-19 also being a mental health crisis (while mental healthcare is still out of reach), expectation of constant availability by employers, deteriorating worker's rights (what's a union?), lack of public transportation infrastructure (hello, 3 hour commute!), ...

That's to start.

I'm particularly interested how GPT-4 manages multi-modal processing. Do the images share the same domain as the text inputs, or is there some location in the model inputs that is ~for images only~. The Technical Report states that "the model generates text outputs given inputs consisting of arbitrarily interlaced text and image"[1], but that doesn't really clear up how the images are being treated here.

Ask HN: Is it possible to improve the development process of the Linux kernel?
Currently to submit patches to the kernel, you have to go through the mailing list, an outdated way. Including review by the maintainer also happens on the mailing list. However, mailing lists have a number of significant drawbacks, such as patches being ignored and not being easy to view, and discussions on mailing lists are not structured enough, resulting in important information being drowned out in the mass of emails. Can current kernel development be migrated to a platform like Gerrit?

I don't think that's him sticking to a "certain principles", he's just doing whatever it takes to make people think Epic is the "good guy", as long as he's doing the opposite of the competitors.

For example, take a look into his take about blockchain games. At first he was against NFT games [1], then after Valve banned NFT games, Gabe Newell talked about it [2], Tim suddenly was OK with it [3]?

He fought with Apple because he thought he could win it, so his Fortnite could avoid 30% transaction fee. They clearly had a lot of discussion, strategies before suing Apple and thought it was a good idea, they could have won big. It's not a bad business decision if he can win, but they didn't so it looked bad.
