I had the same issue described in the article... how do you choose a community?

It was the first question I had when looking into Mastodon, and a few minutes in I closed the tabs.

I don't want to choose a community, I want a single place/domain I rely on, I don't care if the backend is decentralised, I want the entry as a new user to be as low as possible, I need to understand the product in a few sentences.

They lost me as a potential user, I wonder how many more they lost. That entry barrier (just as with UX / registration forms) has to be as low as possible.
MS cannot possibly do this, it would mean giving up any business with NATO. It’s insane to me that a game studio acquisition gets such emotionally charged responses.
To be fair cgroupsv1 and the original tooling around them weren't so great. And people were stuck with them for aaaaaages because the cpu controller wasn't ported to v2 for so long. And then they were still stuck on v1 because of Docker...

Is Tesla using customer cars for training data? That should be very noticeable, it is a lot of data that would be getting fed back. If they're not, then the billions of miles driven by customers isn't relevant, and the same "can't just put a car through a test track" problem exists at the training level.

> When the family are cut off, they cancel.

The mistake Netflix makes is to assume that the families and friends, who have been using a shared login, will signup for a subscription on their own. They won't, the value proposition isn't there anymore and these are people who didn't want to pay for the subscription to begin with.

I have serious doubts about Netflix calculations on this decision, but I also don't see what else they could do. They can't buy the content people want and they struggle to produce high quality movies and shows. Their productions are beautiful, but the scripts are severely lacking. Sometimes they get lucky and do a good season of a show, only to screw up subsequent seasons.
I've only done it once (the way they have it architected, it's a "set and forget" sort of thing, your LB changes don't touch the Global Accelerator) but I do seem to recall that it took awhile to create the resource. Maybe 5-10 minutes?

Pleroma is lightweight and fast.
It's another one of those 8 year overnight successes.

They're not successful yet, but I would attribute their success to waitlist and the login to the chatbot. plus the brand they built up over the last 8 years.

most of the other chatbots failed because they didn't force people to login which caused people to be ridiculous.

FOMO was a big part. And a really good easy to use product. that demoed the api.

And the people behind it already had big reputations in tech.
That's exactly what happened. There was a back and forth with NHTSA for years before the beta started going public, and the rollout was carefully staged. At first, you needed a high safety score and it was aggressively geofenced. Those restrictions were gradually lifted as they collected data, and it still has attentiveness monitoring and a strike system. Tesla and NHTSA go back and forth on details all the time -- just recently NHTSA demanded some adjustments for stop signs and yellow lights.
Anecdotally, when I was taking Advanced Econometrics as an undergrad, the class was being audited by a professor in the Economics department that, in their education through PhD, had never actually learned any quantitative anaylsis. So there are definitely people out there that are getting by on the fact they can make their ideas sound good convincing enough to pass a journal's review board and a tenure committee.

So yes, very much a social science.
> the existence of ORMs removes the value of learning SQL.

No that SQL has no value, but this is exactly what ORMs do for a lot of people. They stay in their language instead of having to learn SQL (not saying this is ideal).
Unfortunately, the switch from 2.7 to 3.0 is likely to be more troublesome, due mostly to the change in handling keyword arguments (they're no longer treated as equivalent to a last positional argument that happens to be a hash, and you need to toss in '*' to convert from one convention to the other). This isn't hard to clean up if you have good test coverage... but one reason for not having done upgrades is not having that.
Ask HN: Could you recommend a good book about writing automated software tests?
I very much appreciate the value of writing automated tests for the software, but I don't have much experience beyond elementary unit tests of functions with well-defined inputs and outputs. Real-world software has complex object relationships, multiple side effects, and user interactions. Could someone recommend me a good book or online resources about patterns and strategies for writing more complex automated tests that take into account the complexity of real-world software?
> Those of us who don't live in San Francisco that have been job searching have found salaries average about $125k. Over here in the real world tech doesn't make that much money.

Incorrect. Most people I know in this industry never lived in SF and make well over that amount. Putting in some time on the West Coast is not a bad idea though - doesn’t have to be SF.
It's well documented even by people in favor of nuclear. For example: https://www.construction-physics.com/p/why-are-nuclear-power...

Because the person I replied to talked about Flamanville... Do you even read what is discussed or just frantically go from one post to the other?

I also posted how long it took to reach 50% renewables - 20 years, during which time the EDF/Areva failed to complete almost all of the projects they were involved with. If Germany had gone that route it would still be pumping out 800g/kWh like Poland does and it would be doing that for the last 20 years. Thank God it didn't make that mistake.
I bought and ripped the stuff we tend to rewatch a lot (The Office, Friends, Star Trek, Stargate, etc.) and am serving them from a local Plex instance.

I occasionally pirate episodes of TV shows that would require another subscription (already paying for Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, HBO and Prime). Honestly, I'd much rather cancel all that and just pay à la carte for content as long as it's something reasonable (like $0.50 - $1 / episode or ~ $10 / season and $2 - $15 / movie - that adds up to about the same cost based on my family's viewing patterns, plus I get flexibility).

It was nice when Netflix was the only game in town and it was worthwhile to pay it for the library, now it's too much to pay all these services for just a pile of 99% excrement.

I already use ChatGPT like this. After every good outcome I say something like "modify my original prompt to include all the things we learned in this chat session". It has mixed results, context window being the biggest factor I guess. Longer conversations (where I am trying to write stories specially) do not produce good prompts as it becomes super specific even if I tell it to generalize specific things.

One can vnc into the dji rc and control it from wherever you are.

Problem is: the remote disables radios when connected to usb/power.

So rooting the dji android (which the FCC hack does) is a must and then you only need to enable the radios.. only..
I think the parent is referring to content creators and people who want to reach a large audience. These people will naturally gravitate to the largest hubs to minimize the amount of work required for maximum reach.

Personally I think that whole aspect of social media is toxic so I don't care, but others are not going to agree. I'm happy with an enclave where I hear the people I want to hear and am not hit with a bunch of spam and propaganda.

There's a whole synergistic Shenzen ecosystem of companies, and the US is a very expensive place. Most of the people with the skills to do this are already working for either FAANG or the long tail of other US tech companies, not on something as comparatively low value as drones. The US is simply higher up the value curve for manufacturing.
I was disappointed how vague carbs were defined, but I suspect we can all agree the best diet for an omnivore is the least processed food is the best choice. Anything that comes in a box or can should be suspect. Soup is best when the broth is made from leftover chicken bones and the rest of it with chicken meat and raw veggies. Fruit is better than candy, fish is better than bacon. YMMV
Yes they are, yes it is very noticeable, and yes it is a lot of very important data that could not have been collected on a test track.
Poor documentation.

> GFCI receptacles have been required in many locations by code going on four decades

Yeah but receptacles protect the user of the circuit, not the circuit itself / someone working on it. Plus you’re not protected on all the circuits where it’s not required by code. One RCD at the main is a lot smarter and more cost effective. Not to mention easier to mandate retrofits for, whereas somehow we’ve accepted in the US that tons of kids live in houses where there’s both no GFCI in the outlets in their room and no tamper resistant devices, it’s ridiculous.

> The cost is dramatically lower for wire nuts and GFCI receptacles than for GFCI/RCD breakers and lever nuts. I just picked up a ten pack of Wago lever nuts at Home Depot for $7 – Grainger/Zoro recently stopped carrying Wagos

Yeah you’re saving 0.2-0.3$ a pop (they cost around 0.4$ a pop if you buy them online by the 50s, I assume supply houses are cheaper) at the cost of much more time spent twisting, time troubleshooting later and worse health from having to twist those wire nuts for your entire career.

> If anything I'd say that there's regulatory capture from the manufacturers, take a look at the price of a breaker with an arc fault interrupter

Main breaker RCD is obviously the cost effective option :)
I agree. I haven't watched anything on Netflix since 2019. Don't have D+, Hulu, HBO, or anything else. I have YouTube TV which I use pretty much only for sports.

Pretty much all the other video I watch is independent content on YouTube. Just people talking about and showing stuff they are interested in. I'm sort of amused that these people come up with more compelling stuff to watch than the big studios with their huge budgets, writers, celebrities, etc.
Yes. Chromium and “Edgium” add a lot of their own closed-source services before releasing package. One example is that “Translate website” toolbar that Chrome has, which sends the entire content to Google’s servers using their own API key. That’s not present in the Chromium source.

More time spent does not equal enjoyment. Some games treat their players like employees and make them work pretty hard for their imaginary prizes. I wouldn't want a games library optimized for maximum time expenditure.
When you were a kid and coming up with fun creative stories or just playing creatively did you inject a level of authenticity and realism to that play? Probably not because you were just being your authentic self, unedited and unspoiled, having fun. I think this is a little bit of the feel I get from a lot of korean/japanese media.

That comment turns out to have been wrong after all. So, tell me more about being amused.

They weren't saying that democracy is bad, or that anything else is better, they were saying that it (largely) doesn't exist.

I think the point was not to say that authoritarianism or anything else would be better, but simply to say that in order to get a useful result from judging something, you have to judge what it actually is, not something you imagine.

Oligarchy is probably just an inevitable emergent property of any collection of cells each exhibiting the human condition. No one is saying that it's good or roght, just that it is the actual state of things, where democracy as we were told to imagine it in school, is largely a fantasy. A nice one, and surely the direction we should always aim, but not what is or realistically ever will be.

The point as I see it, is only to point out that when trying to decide what to do, and how to interpret the results of what has been done, there is a difference between the direction you push, the ideals you want, and how far you have or even ever possibly can get, how much of those ideals you have been striving for you actually have, regardless what labels are on things or what they tell everyone in school and on tv.

If you want to judge something, and have a useful result, you have to know correctly what you are actually judging. IE: it's misleading your own self as well as others to imagine that various outcomes and current conditions are the result of democracy, no matter what country you are in. In all cases, regardless what label is on the tin, it is really the result of oligrachy. (or at least to some large degree, and at least so I percieve that comment to be saying, and at least so I am saying myself)

Aiming for democracy is still probably better than not. Not because it demonsteably produces better outcomes, but because at least on paper there is some chance for it's nominal purpose. A paper declaration of agency is better than none at all.
Speaking of that software I resurrected an old DJI drone for a family member and after takeoff the app prompted me with so many warnings/errors/updates/notifications that I crashed. Truly horrifying to see a drone drifting towards you (and others) while you're furiously tapping to close warnings.

I dig this as a quick intro. I've worked directly with payments at several orgs now, and yet didn't really grok payments until I read Payments Systems in the U.S. - Third Edition: A Guide for the Payments Professional. Afterward, I was actually able to understand how the pieces fit together. It is concise, and highly recommended to anyone working with payment systems.

FYI Norway was a part of Denmark back then. You guys are talking about the same thing.
He means he stopped the motors to let the drone free-fall into the net.
So how practical is learning to create your own transformers if you can't afford a giant amount of resources to train them?
If you look up the dimensions of the Model S, Equinox EV, Mustang EV, and Lucid Air, you will find the Model S is actually the longest and the widest of the bunch. So it’s weird to exclude the Equinox and Mustang from this price comparison.

The Mustang is 1 inch longer and wider than the Model 3.

Nobody wants to sell small EVs in America, apparently.

There is a highway on the border from where there are three exit. So accidentally take an exit to late or to early and you end up in Lichtenstein, because you didn't look at the road signs closely enough.
To some degree it's inescapable with the small props. The higher end DJI models have enormous props which are better for noise as well as endurance. 16" props on the Inspire 3.

The natural extent of this progression is to have one or two very large 2-4 blade rotor (for low disc loading, high endurance, lower rotor speed and noise), with a small auxiliary rotor for yaw control if only using one lift rotor.

Yes, the natural endpoint is in fact just a helicopter. Only reason we don't see more of that (edit: in photo drones specifically) is the mechanical complexity.
That would require you to get an account on the big name mail providers, though.

To me it seems like Netflix is struggling to attract good script writers. Their productions are beautiful, but the scripts are terrible.
I'm not saying it's right or useful, but I think a lot of people (especially young people) are just really sick of climate change denial-ism. I know I am. I'm nearly half a century old and the handwriting has been on the wall my whole life.

I don't want to quash discussion (interesting and informative discussion is the main reason I use HN) but, yeah, it's not a bad thing to differentiate yourself from the climate deniers, if you want people to hear you these days.
Ask HN: Best Resources for Learning RL?
Simplest answer is because one can. It is much safer to grab any digital content than physical goods. If it were easier like this to grab food from stores and restaurants, grab homes of other people, they would do that too. Its not even hypothetical, in many parts of the world this all happens very commonly.
Well, most states don't penalize anyone for operating a police scanner.

It seems pretty important that MI would have that exception the way that statute is written, otherwise it would prohibit the ownership of ham radios.

Because ...

> a radio receiving set that will receive signals sent on a frequency assigned by the federal communications commission of the United States for police or other law enforcement, fire fighting, emergency medical, federal, state, or local corrections, or homeland security purposes.

... doesn't just describe police scanners. It describes basically all VHF/UHF ham radios.
Is this usable for writing apps too? Why would Malloy be limited to BI?

This looks like it has some nicely well structured patterns for authoring queries. Most places I go, people try Knex.js query-builder for a bit but bottom out fast & start writing raw sql. I've seen a number of homegrown generic query builders, each of which has been impossibly awful to understand & work with.

This looks like a decent take. It's weird to me that it's presented as having such a targeted audience for itself. I'm not sure if there's real constraints that makes it only applicable as such.

> I really wish Mastodon wasn’t absorbing 95% of the ActivityPub hype

Would be good to revisit this in 12 months. Medium and Tumblr seem to be keen to start to interop with ActivityPub. Supposedly even Meta is building on top of ActivityPub for a new service (which I can't seem to find a good source to link to, so who knows).

I think ActivityPub is the new thing, so Mastodon has a bit of a first-ish mover advantage on it. Once all the big platforms get their proecjts out I think it'll get real interesting.
At some point it does though. There are limits to what you can create with limited energy.
Nice! It looks like there's a big storm in the Atlantic right now....

At least in Germany, highways have a pretty sturdy central divider - either concrete blocks or steel guardrails, definitely not something you'd want near your landing gear or fuel tanks. They can be removed in a few days if needed, but while they're still there, I wouldn't recommend trying to land.
Is that not a perception issue, and more descriptive of the viewer than any specific action on the part of the creator? How do we objectively define what 'adds nothing to the story' looks like?
"Its extremely frustrating how we let the tech companies get to be this large,"

With how quickly tech changes and the risks involved, companies have to find multiple revenue streams if they want to survive. Pretty much every startup dream is to one day become a huge company.
I think it's rather the opposite. The insane weirdness of plants (polyploidy, symbiosis with insects, fern genomes, multiple evolutions of tree-forms), parasites, molluscs having all kinds of eyes, indicate more than one divine entity. More over, those entities clearly squabble, make jokes, and generally plague each other at biology's expense.
