skysight-inc/HackerNews huggingface dataset:
By "majority", I mean the majority of all users within the app. For each message, there's a total of 3 voting options to choose from (+) (=) (-). Each user can only vote once for every post because we've built a verification system that only allows verified users to vote. Other platforms will charge a 7$/month fraudulent fee for your account to get verified, on Fairtalk it's completely free.

Voting (+) gives the message a score of +1
Voting (=) gives the message a score of +0
Voting (-) gives the message a score of -1

At the end of 7 days, the message that received the highest score gets saved and archived on our platform forever. So yes the message that gets archived everyday is always chosen by the majority of users on the platform.

When you open the app, there's a home screen where all messages can be filtered in different ways (highest score, most recently sent, National countries, voting cycles, etc.)

By default, messages are filtered by highest score so users know which messages are about to get archived and if they disagree with that message then they can always cast a (-) vote to decrement its score by -1 so that another message gets archived instead.

It's a very simple system that works very similar to a democracy but instead of voting for a politician to represent you, we're instead voting for the best ideas and messages that were shared on the platform.

Hope that makes sense, cheers my friend.

I think that’s another big issue with Mastodon - poor accountability.

I know some are going to view “accountability” as an oxymoron when it comes to Musk-owned Twitter. But, while Musk positions himself as a maverick who couldn’t care less about what the media thinks (and the “mainstream” media especially), it seems likely that their negative feedback played a significant role in the reversal of some of his dumber decisions. His whole “I don’t care what the media thinks” routine resembles the poop emoji with which he responds to their inquiries-such a juvenile response is a sign he really does care about what they say, even if only to a certain degree-if he completely didn’t care, he’d just ignore them entirely, or even have some intern respond promptly with inane non-committal unquotable PR blather

So yeah, the media provides some accountability for Twitter, however imperfect-even under Musk. By contrast, the media provides very little accountability for Mastodon-it is very fringe, the average person has never heard of it, why would they pay much attention to it? And its decentralised nature makes accountability by the media potentially even harder, since there’s no Musk to ultimately hold account, just an opaque collective of obscure individuals who wield power behind closed doors

Another dimension of accountability is regulatory-for better or worse, social media is an increasing focus of regulatory attention worldwide, and you can guarantee Twitter is near the top of the list. Musk may try to dodge them, but he can only dodge so much, and in many cases (especially those regulatory requests which don’t appear to be associated with his political opponents) he may just comply from the start. By contrast, most regulators are going to ignore Mastodon, because it is too small to merit their attention, and its decentralised nature makes it much harder to regulate.

Of course “if you are unfairly banned on one instance you can always move to another”-but that’s at the minimum a major inconvenience, and what about the problem of cross-instance bans? I know they are claimed to be only against the far-right; but even if that’s true, what’s to stop “ban the far-right” from evolving into “ban the moderate right” and then eventually even “ban lefties who deviate too much from the party line”? Yes, that’s a slippery slope argument-but accountability mechanisms play a big role in stopping people slipping too far down life’s many slopes

If you trust the average Mastodon administrator is on roughly the same page as you, maybe you don’t have much to worry about; if you lack that confidence, is it still worth investing your time in it? With Twitter, even if you don’t trust Musk to do the right thing, at least you know there are real (however imperfect) mechanisms to hold him to account. The same mechanisms for Mastodon are arguably a lot weaker

I'm stuggling to make sense of your points. To the extent that I can't tell whether you're coming down on steam or not.

But one thing that isn't relevant here is the "free market". The "free market" refers to a system where prices, production, and distribution of goods and services are determined by supply and demand, without government intervention. Examples of threats to the free market include monopolies, price fixing, government regulations, and trade barriers.

Steam is not a monopoly, indeed it's one of many ways of getting gaming entertainment. It very rarely even has exclusive games (unlike say XBox and Playstation). It does not,to the best of my knowledge, engage in price fixing or impose trade barriers on others. Government regulations are not relevant in this context because they are not a government entity, nor to they receive preferential treatment under the law with regard to permission to engage in selling software.
This effect becomes more pronounced, when substracting (but probably also adding) small amounts from big amounts, because more bits are needed to store the big number's more significant digits and floats then lose bits for the less significant digits. That is why, if one needs precision, needs to sort numbers first and then start calculating with the smallest numbers first, working ones way up to the bigger numbers.

>A passenger might have a higher priority bluetooth device and it steals the connection.

I have the opposite problem on Android auto.

When I connect my phone (by USB cable) and start Android auto for navigation it also wants to use my phone for music too.
The problem is that my daughter doesn't like my music and I haven't found a way of using navigation from my phone together with music from hers...

I generally end up using the built in navigator rather than my phone (which isn't as good as Google maps) to let my daughter control the music over bluetooth.

> Not sure in what case it makes sense to have dying at smaller than 1. To the user all the numbers are integers, so why not use rationals instead of floats?

If killing unit takes X attacks, user buys 10% attack damage upgrade, and it still takes X attacks they will be annoyed. If rounding down takes that to x-1 attacks it might be preferable.

That being said you're absolutely right. just use HP*100 in calculations and display HP/100 to the user, and when you need to round into specific direction do it explicitly
`(new_maxhp * old_hp) / old_maxhp` avoids the original problem when using integers. Though you still need to make sure your type is big enough to not overflow.

Or using fixed-point (which are a relatively simple abstraction over integers): `old_hp * (new_maxhp * old_maxhp)`.

Steam also allows DRM free games, it's probably just not very popular with game developers.

One advantage of GoG is that they seem to actually care that old games on their store are actually working on new Windows versions, while on Steam it's more or less a gamble (at least you can return broken games though).
Maybe that's not a bad thing.
Personally I’ve always disliked feeling the heat of an incandescent lamp. And I’m fairly certain that one of the advantages of electric lighting over gas was the _reduction_ in heat produced while lighting the room.
This might be asking too much on a public forum, but would you be able to describe what differentiates these two for you? Feel free to decline if it's too personal or you just don't feel like it.
Yeah, agreed. Option often appears in my typescript code in the form of possibly undefined variables. I unpack the Option by using a condition if I want to handle it or assert() if I just want the application to panic.

I love how TypeScript forces this. You need to narrow the “undefined” type away before you can use the object in any way. Ruling out undefined and narrowing the type is the equivalent of checking for Some or None.
When I hear this complaint it usually refers to games that provide certain features, multiplayer, rewards like skins, etc., only through the use of an online account.

I’m not saying those things aren’t worth complaining about, but frankly, they aren’t what come to mind when I think of problematic DRM in video games. What comes to mind is the inability to install and play a game without an internet connection. GOG still provides real installers, and remains the most prominent platform committed to it.

To get a sense of what people are referring to as DRM on GOG, I reference this thread: https://www.gog.com/forum/general/drm_on_gog_list_of_singlep...

Fun with fluorescence in olive oil (2012)
Maybe not exactly the same. But whatever could have been improved on that base in the last 15 years.

The point is: We had much saner tech. Now it's just complete craziness, and still you can't even build a word processor like the one that run on Windows 95. This says just everything about the state of web tech for application development. (And no, this tech is rotten from the roots, so you can't improve on it. It'll get only more crazy and shitty if you try further.)
Did this exponential blowup ever prove troublesome in practice? I think it can be easily solved by strategically placed rounding steps. But explicit rounding is advisable in many cases anyway.
> The logic is less complex than you'd think. It's generally something like "has flag paranoid, has flag child (patched to has flag alive child), then 1% yearly chance of fearing a plot." It feels complex, thinking of the actual logic killed a fair amount of the fun for me.

But doesn't this overlook the emergent complexity from many actors running these simple rules, plus interactions between them?

A lot of the shenanigans in Dwarf Fortress arise from relatively simple actors following their relatively simple plan, until those plans clash or interact with each other and crazy things start happening - such as prioritizing drinking booze over pulling a lever to lock out a monster.

Even if people around the 3-year old child talk to it 16 hours per day constantly at 150 words per minute, they'd just have around 1GB of text in its training data. And not good quality words even, a lot of it would be variations of mundane everyday chit chat and "whose a cute baby?! You're a cute baby!".

For comparison GPT has like 1TB of text, and they're hundreds of thousands of books, articles, wikipedia, and so on. So already 3 orders of magnitude more.

And of course the "16 hours x 150 words per minute x 3 years" is totally off by a few orders of magnitude itself.

Well, yeah, there is no good reason tbh, I kind of haven’t just thought about this
IPFS is a HTTP replacement much more than it is a BT replacement. Meaning it provides namespace to access and link content, but unlike HTTP that is build around server addresses, IPFS build around content addressing. Another big advantage IPFS has over HTTP is that it supports directories natively, thus making the use of archive files largely unnecessary (in theory it could also be extended to address files inside archives directly, so that's not implemented I think).

In theory that allows some extremely powerful things, such as making all the content of the world part of your filesystem. You can just "cd /ipfs/<long hash>/" and browse around whatever directory tree you are interested in. It completely bypasses the need to manually download anything, as you can access the data directly under a globally unique name.

IPFS is also much more suited for small files, so you could use it to host individual .jpg files, something that would be rather unwieldy with torrent.

In actual use however it barely works, it's slow, it's eats lots of CPU even when doing nothing and the fuse plugin to integrate it into your filesystem is also rather broken. POSIX file io is also ill suited for this kind of transparent file access, so all your apps will just freeze without any indication what is going on if you try to use the /ipfs/ directory.

Another huge problem with IPFS is the complete lack of authorship/copyright tracking. HTTP has that implicitly, since whoever hosts the content is responsible for it. With something like IPFS however you automatically become hoster for everything you look at. I can't see that working in the current legal system. Even distributing Open Source projects via IPFS is already illegal, as the LICENSE.txt you are generally required to redistribute no longer is linked with the actual rest of the source code once you can address and cache each file, or even blocks within a file, individually. If IPFS would ever become popular it would be quickly made unusable by lawyers, as unlike torrent, you downloading is not an active act here, it just happens in the background.

Very much untrue. Steam even makes it pretty easy to start a game without starting steam.

1. Install the game through steam the normal way

2. in your steam client, go to the game, hit the cog icon

3. go to "properties" -> "local files" -> "browse". This will open a file picker in the location it has installed the game.

4. Make a note of this location then close the picker

5. Go to "general" and see if there is anything under "launch options".

6. You're all set. If you want to shut your steam client down you can still run the game directly by using the path you saw in the file picker at step 4 and (optionally) passing the launch options from step 5

(I know this because I'm currently running "Song of Syx" directly using this option because it's an early access game and is broken when launching via steam for some reason).

This is a symptom. The root issue is control of the media is in too few hands.

Journalism by definition attempts to be objective and thorough. Today, much of what gets passed off as journalism is op-ed. It's tilted reporting that reflects the desired narrative of ownership. It asks too few questions, buries ledes, leaves out key facts, etc.

It might not be fake news by most people's definition, but it not journalism.

You don't have good conversations with those people on Twitter though. 99% tweets directed by unpopular account to popular are going into a black hole. It's not a "good conversation" where you write something with 1% chance of getting something back.

If I am interested to know what experts and industry leaders think, I can monitor their media (where by the way HN is wayyy better than Twitter, and I'm sure there is a better community for every industry), but for good conversations I'd probably head to a smaller group which can exist anywhere, Matrix, Discord, FB group, Whatsapp communities, Discourse, etc. If I have an industry leader who is also a friend, those places is probably where they are having the good conversations.
