It is a familiar trope when it comes to India: dragging it to any topic that is potentially negative. ISRO launches a new rocket? "Oh but India is so poor does it really need a Space Industry?". And it is mostly perpetuated by Indian Elites themselves as they want to get into the good books of their Western counterparts. It is just an extension of the brown coolie mindset ("Yes Sir! At your service Sir!") that has carried on since the times of British Colonization. Where looking down upon India was and is still a fashion among these Indians with inferiority complex. I have lived 34 years of my life in India. Never have had to pay a bribe. Through all sorts of Governments (Governments that I liked and Governments that I disliked). Now my anecdote will be summarily dismissed with "but yours is an anecdote and doesn't represent India". Sure. So does yours! Yet somehow your pitiful description of India is more valid than my experience of living in India.

All these so called "rankings" are mostly fudged/distorted statistics to push a narrative. Why do I say that? Take a look at the "Press Freedom" rankings as an example. Afghanistan has higher ranking in "Press Freedom Index" than India. Can you believe it? Taliban ruled Afghanistan, which has pretty much demolished any ounce of Democracy that was left in its country, has freer press than India? LMFAO. The authoritative government of Uzbekistan has freer press compared to India in the same ranking. Such useless rankings shine no light except can be used as points to counter/shutdown criticism.

Indian Foreign Minister Jaishankar gave a really good interview recently where he highlights how these rankings are cooked up/manipulated. Must watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UH5qw_rijRI

Is this news from 2005?? MTV was reduced to an endless loop of Ridiculousness reruns years ago. Where was MTV News hiding all this time?
From the example in the article (exp) it sounds like they are implementing highly optimized versions of transcendental functions. This is great! One of the reason gfortran is so much slower than the intel fortran compiler is the slow special functions it uses. However those tricks appear to degrade badly under some LLVM optimizations that are enabled with fastmath.

It makes sense to optimize for the non-fast math case because that's the recommended setting, and I guess having two implementations of all the (very important, easy to mess up, core) special functions + all the testing infra to check that they work correctly on all platforms was probably deemed too much work for marginal benefits.

I think the key, in both cases, is to learn more about relationships, and in the later case, about the nature of corporations.

It's perfectly reasonable to make a commitment to "not be evil," and to "to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful." That was the founding mission of Google. That's very different from loyalty to a colorful logo, a set of incorporation documents, and an abstraction.

Not the person you’re replying to, but China over literally Millenia have effectively terraformed mountains into channels and channels of rice paddies for the cultivation of rice - areas that westerners would not typically consider farmland.

Of course you can also plant rice on flat fields (and China does as well), but this does skew the comparative ratios of acres of land use : people fed.

Probably a decent one. Compilation of even small size projects easily took hours as of a year ago. All while people were screaming about how good it was. The equivalent code in other languages would be statically compiled in milliseconds. The size of the binaries was also thousands of times bigger...

Doesn't it make it easier? A list of hashes which should be blacklisted means servers obeying rulings are never at risk of returning that data (this would also work offensively: poll for forbidden hashes and see who responds).
Fantastic! so far over 100 packages seem to support it which is a good start:

Whenever your identity is tied to a domain or an organization, why wouldn't anyone just choose the largest? That's likely the one that's going to actually be around the longest and probably the one that's got the budget for the best performing servers.

Without taking the time to research a bunch of obscure servers, I would assume the biggest will be most reliable, perform the best, and be least likely to be involved in a data breach due to any unprofessionalness on the part of admins.

The only way I see to change that is to do what BitTorrent does and make servers just trackers that have nearly zero cost portability between them, and perhaps get rid of trying to decentralize unique human readable handles, that seems to really complicate things.
> Person said X which was wrong, so what he says about Y must be wrong too.

You could argue that the linked post in indulging in the reverse (a form of appeal to (false) authority): Person said X which is right, so what they say about Y must be right too. Altman has no particular authority here anymore than anyone else who works at a midsized company; that anyone bothered to write an article about his take is due to him being well-known in _completely different_ fields.

> Then why are you commenting on an article about what he is saying?

The article itself is an example of a sort of broken thinking which has become annoyingly common in HN-land, and is interesting for that reason, _not_ for its actual content.
Interesting, I seem to have missed this change from 2021. That's far more reasonable.
You do realise that things can evolve and thus become bigger problems than what they originally were, right?

A few examples:

* cars. They've been a thing since the late 1800s/early 1900s, yet they didn't become a problem until they were prevalent, forcing urban planning to accommodate them at the expense of everything else, and their pollution became a global problem.

* porn online: great for the consumers and producers, until it became easy to upload whatever one wants, bringing in a torrent of revenge and/or unconsenting content

* guns: groups of people having a rifle for self-defence/hunting is perfectly fine. Every random person having automatic rifles and pistols and shotguns with all the ammo they could want leads to unstable people going on murder sprees.

* Misinformation and targeted propaganda: yeah it was bad when your local newspaper was run by a piece of shit that lied for money/engagement/to further their own interests, but as we've seen today, it's drastically worse when anyone anywhere in the world can have their words heard and believed. We had ISIS recruitment, political meddling, serial murders and neo-nazi/adjacent terrorists all inspired by hateful words read anonymously online from faraway places (e.g. the piece of shit in New Zealand or the other one in Norway, or the Qanon idiots in Germany).

* AirTags: yes, stalking has existed for a long time, and tools to enable it have too. That doesn't mean that AirTags don't make it drastically easier to do so - it's something everyone has heard of, can easily pick up/buy, have an excuse for what it's for, etc. vs the harder, but still possible route of buying random hardware off AliExpress. Like suicides, access to guns make attempts easier and more lethal; most people won't put in too much effort.

Oh, and vigilante "justice" is something dangerous for everyone involved that shouldn't be encouraged. In the stealing back your car example, what if the thieves saw that, and opened fire? Is anyone seriously willing to die over a car?

>...lower middle-class rednecks who form the republican party, and elect people who at every turn scam them, screw them, and try to take away their medical benefits and social security? yes, they do want to be oppressed

>Mao

>...it's paradise for many a housecat.

Feels like a non-sequitur to compare opposition to state controlled medical coverage to the charmed life of house cats. People often opt to euthanize their aged pets. Animals which misbehave or become unmanageable are sent to shelters where they are euthanized. On the other hand, concerns about death panels and eugenics are laughed away.

Otherwise I agree somewhat with your sentiment. The two goal posts of tribal affiliation are pitted against each other. Authorities take their free kick.

The description of, "lower middle-class rednecks who form the republican party" reads exactly like the kind of partisan 'othering' you describe.
That’s basically how shell scripts behave by default. At least in VB it’s not the default.
From a non-technical point of view (since the technical answer was already provided) I think this sort of magic optimizations is a double edge sword in any language. No matter what you do there will be corner cases that need manual tuning that become inaccessible behind some init option.
But to model mutable things over and immutable blocks you need to revalidate which blocks are still valid.

You need to know that the user expects you to now have a different view. That you're not mutating individual blocks but replacing them has little practical value.

It'd be nice to implement a mechanism that made it easier to validate whole collections of ActivityPub objects in one go, but that just requires adding hashes to collections so you don't need to validate individual objects. Nothing in ActivityPub precludes an implementation from adding an optional mechanism for doing that the same way e.g. Remote storage does (JSON-LD directories equivalent to the JSON-LD collections in ActivityPub, with Etags at collection level required to change if subordinate objects do).
it is like 10:1 ratio for bronze so 90% less need :)
While we all (HN audience) know roughly what kind of things are going on, seeing it in all the delicate details is fascinating.

Just thinking that all these bytes and everything that's happening have 6 more layers below all the way to physical electrical/electromagnetic flow, all routed potentially through many different ISP backbones and possibly international routes, all happening in roughly less than 1/10 of a second is even more fascinating.
> if it was inherit then why would the differences be less prevalent in countries with more equality?

Maybe that's the causality? Chicken and the egg.
Let me rephrase my question: Is there actually such a thing as an "unexploitable use-after-free"? How would that look like? How would you reason that it is actually unexploitable?

Context: My experience with C programming is that practically every bug that is related to memory management tends to blow up right into your face, at the most inconvenient time possible.
As a sibling said, this is not a bug, but a feature, if explained as such.
I think the point here is that nobody puts their kitchen sink inside a cupboard and installs their oven-stove upside down in the name of innovation and challenge during a remodeling.
Storage is effectively free. I can fit the entire Vicuna LLM on a $5 (US retail) SD card right now, and in a decade that’ll be less than $.50. LLMs will also presumably get more efficient at storing fact data outside of the network parameters.

People can download Wikipedia pages but weirdly they don’t. They prefer the interactive web to big downloads of static encyclopedia data, even though the latter is better and easier to distribute in a censorship-resistant manner. That’s why Tor is much more popular than high-latency censorship resistant networks that share static blobs, even though low-latency networks are relatively insecure and much easier to block. The question then is not how to save $3 of storage media: it’s whether you can simulate the interactive experience of the Internet in a satisfying way without a reliable low-latency network connection. Maybe the answer is no, maybe it’s yes. Imagine a really high-quality future LLM that you can actually interact with and ask questions about specific topics, maybe even using voice communication, and that can play games with you and generate other types of “web like” experiences. Is that really less compelling than a download of Wikipedia?
I guess since your only two options are, for some reason, "Google" and "UnknownCalMailCompany Inc," Google seems to be the choice for you.

Fortunately, many of the rest of us live in the real world where there are more than just those two options.

There's a huge range of solutions between fixing the fragility of modern industrial ag (I can only speak to the US system) and everyone having a plot and attempting to be completely self sufficient.

It isn't realistic or healthy to expect everyone to be self sufficient, there are plenty of food reasons we developed societies. It also isn't healthy or realistic for a country as large as the US to depend on a system that makes all of our food in a handful of industrial farms and feed plots so it can be distributed nationally by truck. It also isn't healthy to motivate said industries to measure output by pound regardless of nutritional value, sustainable practices, or animal welfare.

Permaculture often amounts to individuals growing food on their own land today because the system is so far removed from anything resembling permaculture that there aren't other options. Ideally permaculture concepts would be practiced by local farms and we would all be eating healthier food, grown in a more sustainable way closer to where we live.
On your last point, I think the key distinction is the number of people in the social circle.

On Twitter, it was the entire world. And if you wanted to hold the conch shell, you did what the algorithm wanted which was OUTRAGE.

On Mastodon, it's theoretically scoped down to just your server and a handful of deliberate federations. This exists. You can find these servers and have a BBS-like experience. Tooters give you the time of day and assholes are shown the door.

The Very Online folks, however, use Mastodon differently. For them it's more like "I'll build my own Twitter!" And what they want is more OUTRAGE feed to tap into 20 times a day, but with them in control of the algorithm. So they federate freely, with very large servers, making no material progress on the thing that makes Twitter unhealthy.

The fact that Mastodon can seemingly be used both ways is a good accomplishment. It's not the technology's fault the second use-case is socially toxic. But it does make it very hard to talk about Mastodon because you don't immediately know which way anyone is using it.

Just over a year ago I was climbing in Owens River Gorge and ran into John C. Hoffman. He was 78 and doing laps on a 5.11c, with his wife Anne belaying. He casually mentioned he had bolted the route we were on back in the 90s.
I'm not sure his current limit, but at 74 he was redpointing 5.12c. He's a dedicated ORG local and has been climbing since the mid-70s. His advice was simply: don't stop.

Which IMHO has made the AppStore a cesspool of awfulness.

Buying a one time app for a few quid used to be a normal and a good deal all round (I say this as a customer and iOS developer)

But now EVERYTHING is a monthly subscription. Even for apps that really shouldn’t need any updates - but like you say, they do need constant updates just to remain functions.

It’s created a broken AppStore and I just never pay for anything anymore.

What do you mean how? Something in base changes, the author of a package didn't put strict enough compatibility on their package and now you can't use the package. It's especially great when this sort of thing happens after spending ten minutes waiting for precompilation an hour for your time to first gradient and three days for a run to complete and you trusted the tool to let you write the results to a CSV using the CSV package(one of the most widely used packages). Then you file a bug report and get gas lit, so you just patch your local Julia version and compile it yourself so you don't wait 4 months for an upstream fix. Good times.
I thought exactly the same. I will dive into configuring a Raspberry Pi to work with a 5G hat/SIM and will use at commands for this (first time ever). I was looking forward to reading how horrible an experience it will be and was a bit confused :D
The most likely explanation to me is that the author is just wrong in describing it that way and it's a much more massive debris disc slash protoplanetary disc.
That’s what shell scripts do by default, so I would argue that kids today actually do know.

After analyzing the code I see that it's indeed the server that's supposed to return whether to display this popup (so presumably the video info data would not be included in that response).

However this still doesn't mean there's a reliable channel to detect whether the ad was actually displayed, and as far as I understand there might be some architectural limits as to what data can be collected by a given server (for example, the CDN).

Now, I don't think advertisers 'd be very happy if Google counted simply downloading the ad as an impression :)

>What you suggest is impossible, because you are attacking a wrench on the head problem with a coding solution. […] The problem is, guys with guns will come to your door, beat you with a wrench, and put you in jail.

I would rather suggest that this is a education issue, mainly on how to widespread behavior that favor common goods and reciprocal mutual help as the basis of every single human out there. That is, methodologies like Marshall Rosenberg worked at disseminating.

Any other option is a race to the bottom of the rawest brutality.

>The reason for the oppression is, a large portion of every country actually wants to be oppressed.

Should I be haunted with so awful thoughts, I wish some people could help me to find an effective mental healing process, really.

Life is hard, and people having to struggle with of all sort of issues will certainly take what seems on the moment to be the easiest path to bring a bit more stability in the mess they are going through. But in no case that mean that anyone is deeply craving for oppression.

>many people want to control and silence others who don't agree

Well, that doesn’t reflect my own experience of interacting with many people. We agree that some people can be animated with that kind of despicable mindset. And we agree, certainly, that some of them can successfully gain significant political/social power. A very small minority of people like that is enough to engender nation wide desolation.

>Most people are bootlickers. Most people want the type of power structure that ends up with the internet blocked. They don't want freedom - they want to be on the side doing the oppressing.

Maybe try to go in different social circles out there. You might be positively surprise.
“Twitter outrage” is found anywhere humans are found.

I think people just really wanted to believe that it was Twitter-based because then 1) it’s someone else’s fault (Twitter, not human nature), and 2) it can be magically fixed by leaving.
