Here's how I think about it:

* ActivityPub -> AT Protocol (https://atproto.com/)

* Mastadon -> Bluesky (https://blueskyweb.xyz/)

Right now, federation is not turned on for the Bluesky instance.

There are differences in both, however. I'm not going to speak about my impressions of the Mastadon vs Bluesky teams because frankly, Mastadon never really caught on with me, so they're probably biased. ('they' being my impressions, that is, I just realized that may be ambiguous.)

At the protocol level, I haven't implemented ActivityPub in a decade, so I'm a bit behind developments there personally, but the mental model for AT Protocol is best analogized as git, honestly. Users have a PDS, a personal data server, that is identified by a domain, and signed. The location of the PDS does not have to match the domain, enabling you to do what you see here: a user with a domain as their handle, yet all the PDS data is stored on bluesky's servers. You can make a backup of your data at any time, and move your PDS somewhere else with ease (again, once federation is actually implemented, the path there is straightforward though). This is analogous to how you have a git repository locally, and on GitHub, and you point people at the GitHub, but say you decide you hate GitHub, and move to GitLab: you just upload your git repo there, and you're good. Same thing, except since identity is on your own domain, you don't even need to do a redirect, everything Just Works.

This analogy is also fruitful for understanding current limitations: "delete a post" is kind of like "git revert" currently: that is, it's a logical deletion, not an actual deletion. Enabling that ("git rebase") is currently underway. Private messaging does not yet exist.

Anyway if you want to know more the high-level aspects of the docs are very good. Like shockingly so. https://atproto.com/guides/overview They fall down a bit once you get into the details, but stuff is still changing and the team has 10,000 things to do, so it's understandable.
This isn't even going to work in the long run anyway. Imagine being the car sales person. It makes you sound like a cheap used car salesman trying to nickle and dime the customer while selling "luxury".

The whole idea will be perceived for the pettiness and ripoff it is. Especially when no one will even know you pay the extra a month so there is zero status symbol with this.

No way this is around in a few years. They will lose more sales than they will ever make up with the monthly fee.
I agree with you, but I think the bigger thing is that people do not understand that edibles affect people far differently than smoking does. Not just the effects, but the way the body metabolizes the substance. That information should really be more available, especially as cannabis legalization increases. Too many heavy smokers end up taking edibles and having a horrible time because they thought they needed a high amount of edibles to match their smoking habits.

Hacker News isn't a debate club, we're here to satisfy our collective intellectual curiosity about matters of interest, not "provoke controversy" or try to score imaginary points on political opponents.

I've seen plenty of well thought out, thought provoking comments that criticize or contradict someone's point of view. No one has any reason to bottle that up. However, if your comment history is packed with midwit rants about "the woke" or "cultural marxism" or flagged racist tirades then it's in everyone's interest to have some warning before interacting with you.
Who worked on flight their whole lives without ever building a plane, 50 years after the airplane had been demonstrated? Even in fusion, people are usually building machines. It seems to me the "paper reactor" situation in fission is rather unique. The only precedent I can think of is perhaps the abandonment of shipbuilding in Ming China.

This is for landfills, not wastewater. "The facility takes in landfill leachate — essentially rainwater that filters through landfills, collecting chemicals and other contaminants. The raw leachate is pushed through three treatments that separates the PFAS compounds from the leachate. That concentrated material is then run through the “PFAS Annihilator,” which uses super-critical water oxidation, or SCWO, to break the extremely durable PFAS chemical bonds."

That's a far lower volume of water than comes through a sewerage disposal plant.

Here's a location which might use that.[1] This is Bedwell Bayfront Park. It's in Menlo Park, CA, near Facebook HQ, and it used to be a dump. That's a small sewerage disposal plant to deal with the leachate from the dump. There was also a small power plant with Diesel engines running off the methane from the dump, but it's no longer needed now that the dump has decayed.

The hills near Google HQ were a similar dump. Palo Alto also had one, at what's now Byxbee Park.

ah, I apologize for misdirection. In general it could be much bigger of course. Wikipedia[1] says Utf-8 can encode up to 1,112,064. Anyway, it is quite big "alphabet" than the usual set of Lexis Tokens :)

Yes.

Two months later, Facebook hasn't merged the change, but they also haven't deleted it or tried to censor it in any way. I find that hard to explain unless the leak really was intentional; with pretty much any large company, this kind of thing would normally get killed on sight.
No, but the externalities of fossil fuels, the worst energy sources, are very significant. Yet these get subsidized in many countries and Germany is even moving to coal. I'm comparison between nuclear and fossil it definitely matters.
Actually, I was involved in a project to create LLMs that would give the crawler a better basis for discriminating against spammy adversarial pages. There is a lot that could be done here that is being overlooked.

I don't doubt that, had IBM followed up on the research Doug Smith and I started, they would have been a player in the current "AI revolution."

I am against the government deciding that contracts between two people are illegal. No one is forced to buy a mercedes. There is nothing even close to a monopoly when it comes to cars. If Mercedes wants to charge customers every time they push a button in their car, why should the government decide to stop them.

You probably mean the following?

> All users who are allowed to write/post are ID verified - All users who are allowed to write/post pay a monthly (1$ or so) fee"

In general I tend to want to warn you: ID verification is probably not a cheap thing to do (time-consuming, very difficult to provide an absolute "guarantee", refer to checks done to open a bank account).
> It's not clear whether consumers do or even should distinguish between M1 and M2.

The point being if you bought the M1 during the pandemic, you now have little reason to upgrade despite it being a 2020 processor in 2023.
The shift away from Intel also created something of a backlog in demand - not for corporate, "need what we can get today," purchases, but for home use there was low desire to upgrade pre-M1 chip and then a big flood.

> So what's the solution here?

1) Pay salaries as needed to get people to move across the country.

2) Manufacture enough housing/food/goods to satisfy at least the inelastic portion of demand driven by high salaries.

3) For wherever actual high salaries don’t attract enough workers, import labor with a friendly visa system.

The Federal Reserve acknowledges that half of inflation is demand driven, but also that half of it is driven by supply shortages. Federal government should be attacking the supply side by supporting additional manufacturing and expanding ports and transportation systems.

The myth is that Germany replaced nuclear with coal. This myth is false, and obviously false.

How fast they did and could have weaned off coal is another question. I don’t know how fast they could have if they had kept the reactors running, perhaps more perhaps less. The energy market is a very dynamic system and one should avoid overly simplistic models and predictions.

We could just as easily be arguing that Germany could have spent it’s excessive GDP to fund green infrastructure projects in poorer countries, and there for prevented even more green house gasses from polluting our climate. By several factors greater than by cleaning their domestic energy production. But they didn’t, so why would we talk about it?
I agree. This one, and the one where they indicate how hot an item is, are not dark patterns by themselves. They are signals that proved to increase sales. But that doesn't have to mean that they are also dishonest.
What contract?

Did you sign a piece of paper promising to buy it for the next year? They do this even after 3 or 5 or 11 years of service after all, so even in the unlikely event there was a proper contract, your complaint is sort of moot.

Are you going to claim that it's a verbal contract? Those are rather narrowly defined. Telling your friend "Oh yeh, I'd buy one of those when you get one in!" isn't a verbal contract. At minimum, there's no mutuality going on here. They suffer no detriment from 1 in 10 zillion subscribers forcing a cancellation they made impossible in the first place. Verbal contracts should require, at least, that someone met you face to face and heard/saw you assent.

There's a strange cultural phenomenon going on in the modern world, where people believe that contract norms/laws govern things that they absolutely do not.
A $60/month difference is not what's going to make or break someone buying a Mercedes. Flying economy is cheap enough that many people can do it, there is no right Mercedes subscription model that will get people into one of their cars.
Judging by iOS version market share [1] at least 95% of iOS devices were produced in the past 6 years (as the older ones don't support iOS 16). Given apple's 2 billion installed device base a 6-year replacement cycle yields 333 ("repeating, of course") million devices per year. Of course, some of those aren't iPhones, but also 6 years is probably longer than most people's replacement cycle.

It depends on what you mean by function. I did an internship at Coca-Cola in Brazil a decade ago. They had ~500 employees country-wide, mainly marketing and operation strategy folks. The production of the actual beverages and other products was in great part delegated to partner bottlers. My boss there used to joke that if all the 500 employees were fired at once, the amount of Coca-Cola cans and bottles sold wouldn't drop at all for months. And I do believe he was right. In the long-run, of course, things would be different - that's where marketing and strategy pays off.
> Once someone has a psychotic episode, they are much likelier to have more.

An anecdotal observation of this in media is when comedian Owen Benjamin took a "Stars of Death" edible on the Joey Diaz podcast. It was argued that this was the point his big break with reality occurred (delusions and conspiracy seen everywhere).
Another interesting observation is that THC seems to intensify the effect of amphetamines like Adderall. With the increase in ADHD and the presumable fix of amphetamine style drugs like Adderall common marijuana usage could intensify the amphetamine high massively which can exacerbate delusions and psychosis even further. Owen himself was known to use Adderall before shows to maintain focus. Quite an interesting area of research.

Cobbling together the words hardline, unacceptable, entrenched, religion, and middle-grounds is not an argument let alone persuasion. At best, it's an opinion strangely rooted in some type of anti-religious bias. The truth is that society has always restricted and will continue to restrict children from things that have negative impacts on their development.

One could argue that the spirit of the law is an aim to reduce e-waste, and changing iPhones to USB-C will render literally billions of Lightning to USB-A/C cables useless within a few years. But there's obviously the argument that the existence of a need for those cables is in itself a source of e-waste production...

I swing both ways honestly, I love many engineering aspects of the Lightning port, and at the same time I recognise that having only USB-C to care about would obviously simplify my life a bit, even if I think for the purpose of a mobile phone it is an inferior port.
Nah, both of those things can be true though, to varying extents.
The CEO isn't an all knowing entity. It's possible they made a judgement call and were wrong.

Would you prefer that companies be absolutely sure before they hire anyone to ensure layoffs never happen? It seems like the end result would be less hiring / more people without work.

Asking "Is X conscious" is the wrong question, and is responsible for endless arguments with people talking past each other. The correct question to ask is: "What is X conscious of?" or put differently, "How much of the universe is modeled by X?"

Then we can see that humans are conscious of many things. Cats are conscious of fewer things, but still build a complex model of the world. Sunflowers are conscious of the sun, but probably not much else. Rocks are not conscious of anything.

So it's not that a single-celled organism is not conscious and somewhere, a flip got switched and now humans are conscious. There's just been an ever-increasing ability to model the world as one follows human evolution.

This is also true of the LLMs that are getting built. They're impressively conscious of the world as experienced by humans, since they experience the world through recorded human communications. I would say that GPT-4 is conscious of e.g. what a cat is. Its consciousness of what a cat is came to it differently than humans, since it has no hands with which to pet one, but has an idea of what a cat is nevertheless.
This has always been true though. Desktop upgrade cycles are not that fast, and longer than smartphones.

Only processor transitions such as PowerPC to Intel and Intel to Apple Silicon give a good reason to upgrade within a few years.

Same here, and I totally agree.

This was a job I looked forward to each morning. It was just a fun place to work full of talented people and a great culture. There were exciting projects in the works and I wanted to keep being a part of them. My time was cut short and it's disappointing to say the least.

They tried to hire people who care and that showed in the daily interactions. It's in stark contrast to today's actions and I won't be so trusting again.

Best of luck to you!
This may not be the solid defense you think it is.
So another model that isn't actually open source.
I mean, I don't think you're incorrect, but I do think that like, semantics matters here. There is a test suite, of their implementation. Just because they have not extracted it and made it easily re-usable for alternative doesn't mean that they don't have checks to ensure regressions don't appear, you know?

They already build off of many related specifications, which have independent implementations, and a lot of the core protocol is RPC style, with schemas that they do publish. So there's already a lot of rigidity here for alternative implementations to use in a way that is extremely likely to be compliant.

I guess another way of putting it is "I don't exactly disagree with you but doing that takes work, and we're at the stage of this stuff where that work is being done, so expecting it right now feels premature to me." The spec isn't "released" or "done," it's in development.
