Am I the only person who thought that list was a poem? :) Here is how my mind read it:

I block ads in the browser, I block their DNS
I block beacons and the ping attribute in their URLs
I block analytics, reporting, and diagnostic logging
I block programmatic pleas to disable ad-blocking
I strip query strings from UTM campaign tags
I unshorten URLs to avoid tracking hacks
I stop autoplay for the videos on my feed
I block all the cookies that your websites don't strictly need
I block the visibility API on your page
I block prompts to install your app in a fit of rage
I block hidden pixels that track my email
Which surely gets masked but to no avail
As I unsubscribe from your mailing list, dork
And block your address if that doesn't work
I block and report SMS that have ads
Phone calls get ignored if not from my contacts
I pay a company to wrangle data brokers for the win
And trust me, junk mail goes straight into the bin
As I unsubscribe from it all when I can
I block ads, and you should block too, my dear friend

I'll look at throwing together a repository in the model of the `awesome-<tool>` set that's more comprehensive than my specific use case and open it up to contribution for tools I'm not familiar with.
Right but the only possible outcomes of the move you're proposing are:

* the situation they're trying to bring about with this law

or

* the same situation we have now except the gov't is taking more of people's money
Blaming social media for this is shooting the messenger.

You don't need Facebook or the Gram to be keenly aware that all your university buddies who went into tech are going on vacations to Maui and buying their second homes, while you're still grinding your life away for nothing in a university lab. In fact, all you need to do be aware of this is to show up to your friends' bi-weekly happy hour at the local.
There are however measurable impacts of both.

France's high speed train network is powered by electricity which is primarily provided by it's nuclear energy power plants.

When viewing it through this lens then it becomes obvious trains have less climate impact.

If that is what you are optimising for then one is better than the other.

You have to choose some metric, this just seems to be the one they have chosen.
Here is a detailed explaination:

I would like to add to that web developers always makes it harder for themselves too.
Social media is a method of communication at its core. Excluding kids from social media now also excludes them from social interactions. Being excluded is also damaging, and we no longer live in a world where not being on social media is practical.[1] It's better to teach them how to identify problematic content from a very young age and guide them. Blocking access will not accompish the goal you are hoping to accomplish. I think the demographics of who falls and shares misinformation and fake news demonstrates my perspective.

"It is possible that an entire cohort of Americans, now in their 60s and beyond, lacks the level of digital media literacy necessary to reliably determine the trustworthiness of news encountered online." [2]

That's a fair point, and I don't mean to insist that my way is the best way. It works for us, it surely won't work for all. But I am certain that with some effort on the part of the parents to be intentional, a good system can be reached. Our system continues to evolve, and with time and additional responsibility/freedom, will evolve eventually to us as parents handing complete control over.

Something you can block too, but isn't mentioned in the article are sponsored content ads in videos, use SponsorBlock for that.

That said I'm far from this radical, even though it's mostly because I hate the troubleshooting when a site breaks and I'm trying to find what caused it.
Day time vs night time? In the evening while camping in Canada's north in flat or mountainous terrain I've sat beside a fire with a portable radio and tuned to certain high power U.S. stations on the AM radio band. The locals will tell you it is not uncommon. As for reception in a moving vehicle in the daytime, any number of fields or other conditions may be causing the dropouts but in general AM radio propagates vastly farther than FM for a given Effective Radiated Power range specified in the station's license.
Barter goods also serve a purpose other than as a medium of exchange. And Bitcoin is legal tender in El Salvador (not that I like El Salvador or their Bitcoin law), so it actually is a currency.
Jamming can be pretty directinal/targeted, and it's not that hard to imagine a situation where one side of a conflict would see it as a huge tactical advantage, even if it means both sides losing GNSS capabilities in some area.
Sure, as if Rust is taking Web development by storm.

We need something like this on Linux, maybe powered by Vicuna. I’m not sure if the current batch of LLaMA variants is coherent enough to work as a digital assistant, but my gut feeling is that a little fine tuning on tool use might be all thats needed.
Even more so, if they "have not really put effort into weather" then apparently they didn't need to, there are videos of Waymo drives through SF at night in rain for example, it seems to work fine whether it took "real" effort or not
I'll then have pretty good standing to ask how they got into my garage in the first place. :)
“A group of workers is urging their colleagues to walk out May 31”

I think that is a holiday for most in the US no?
It's not a preference though is it? Isn't this a data and evidence-based decision based on what policy-makers believe is bad for environmental and economical reasons?

Imagine if all evidence pointed to train travel between cities being much worse than air travel. Then yes, banning the trains could be the right call.
The 1-sided marketplace is a good point.

Tesla and Waymo are arguably pretty close in self-driving technology, so there's already another player. Uber could just buy a bunch of Tesla's once their tech is good enough for autonomous driving.
> Just one confusion I have: wasn't NT Win 4.0?

NT's first version released as 3.1, to align with the traditional Windows 3.1. Windows NT 3.5 (Code name 'Daytona') was a performance and stability improvement release. You can think of NT 3.1 as the "1.0" release and 3.5 as the "1.1" release.

Windows NT was natively 32-bit, but this was also the same time that the traditional Windows kernel was developing its own story for running 32-bit code. Windows/386 introduced the 386-specific 32-bit underpinnings and Windows 3.1 added something called Win32s. Win32s was an extension to the Windows executable loader and a set of 32-bit libraries that mapped a subset of Win32 calls to the underling Win16 API. Win32s made it possible to take the same 32-bit binary and run it unmodified on both Windows NT and on Windows 3.1. The caveat (and it was a big one) was that you only had access to a very restrictive subset of the Win32 API.

For Windows 95, Microsoft's strategy was mainly to build out more of Win32s. This built on the Windows 3.1/Win32s ability to run 32-bit binaries and added more of the API's that Win32 developers would've been used to from NT.

> The first NT release IIRC was 3.5, which had the same UI style as 3.0-3.2, but with the new kernel.

It's Windows NT 4 that unified the new UI from Windows 95 and the NT kernel. Even then, the system requirements and compatability issues were demanding enough that it took a few releases to make the NT kernel suitable for the mainstream.
This is how you raise a generation that thinks intrusive monitoring and zero privacy is perfectly normal, or even worse craves it.
Thinking about myself and what I remember. What worked for cigarettes was, graphic demonstrations of health issues along with lots of real proof. The government and society made it inconvenient to use it everywhere.

I don't they held back, I remember getting shown rotting lungs, the effects of lung cancer, holes in the throat, yellow teeth. Lots of death statistics.
You're confused by mathematical terminology. Since mathematics is ignorant about time, "inevitable" is a synonym to "exists" there, because mathematics can easily assume infinite time passed by usual induction, but in physics time isn't negligible. Even in terms of mathematics you need to believe in actual infinity to believe that formation of a black hole completes.
I don't know a lot of people who love Uber, but I know a lot of people who are only ever going to use one ride sharing app. If Waymo's app is limited to a 180 sq. mile territory and only half of their trips are in that territory, they won't bother. The first time the Waymo app tells them they're going outside their territory, it will be back to Uber forever.

I may have an unusually lazy social circle.
Turns out, nothing needed a solution to the damn byzantine generals problem, and business actually prefers to have trusting relationships with their counter-parties and trust in a system that exists to mediate any breaking of that trust.
The co-sponser of the bill interviewed for the article is a Democrat, so this doesn’t seem politically motivated.
My parents did not let me watch Simpsons or any other American media, and I think it hampered my socializing. You either have to fake it to be in the conversation at school, or you just stay silent while everyone is talking about music/movies/tv show.

I basically learned how to lie, sneak around, and keep two separate worlds going, as long as I needed my parents’ financial support.
Ask HN: What are the best open source text embedding models?
We're currently using a multilingual sentence-transformers models (https://www.sbert.net/) model to compute text embeddings used for text similarity. It's a great toolkit. I noticed a lot of the models were trained and released a couple years ago and it got me wondering what the best open source models are these days. Looked for alternatively models out of curiosity but didn't have much luck. Have there been new releases with improved accuracy, performance and / or larger context windows?

What are you using for text embeddings?
That was the prior research and hypothesis, which the article claims this new finding supercedes, moving it back an additional 1000 years.

Also the new research doesn't claim that's when it started, it's just the earliest record. It even mentions further down that kissing is seen in primates, suggesting that humans have potentially always kissed. (It of course just took us a while to develop art and preservation thereof enough that we could both record it and have that recording survive to the current day).
I don't know how that's going to work given that the charging station in my garage doesn't even connect to a network.

Beside, if you're talking about public charging stations, it's already been done (can't remember the name at the moment). The difference between those chargers and a gas station is, you charge for free (Level 2, though). It's odd, too, because the ones I've seen are at grocery stores. So, plug in, go into the store...when am I supposed to see the ads?
I hate Electron apps, too, but I've not heard people complain about security before. What's the security problem with Electron apps?

I understand that you're basically running a Node.js instance for each app, but why is that more insecure than running, say, a GTK app? Since GTK and Node.js are written in C and C++, respectively, my gut instinct would be to assume they're equally likely to have security bugs.
For me, specifically, Forbes destroyed the line between bad actors and above board players.

Back when sites started to detect ad-blockers, Forbes asked users to disable their blockers, for the usual reasons. Trusting them, beings respectable breed source, I and others whitelisted Forbes, and promptly got hit by malware distributed by ads on their site.

Because Forbes could not be bothered to screen the ads on their site, I now relentlessly block ads just like the author of the article.

> Also, there’re people who truly enjoy science and pay isn’t the deciding factor.

If that's a good reason to keep pay low, why don't we apply this to the management and administrative class? Surely, we could find someone smart and capable who'd be happy to do an exec's or a director's job, without seven-figure pay as a consideration...

Think of all the money we could return to shareholders, if we just made the directors subsist on prayers and ramen...
Why are we comparing Bitcoin to the web? Bitcoin will never have as much utility as the web. I don't think anyone has ever expected such a thing to happen.

The utility of bitcoin is well defined in my eyes. It is a store of value that can be borrowed against. People will complain all day long on the day to day volatility, but that is irrelevant in the long term when you're using it for collateral.
Not my charging station. That would be a neat trick.
>do you care to understand/show interest in what your kids are doing.

This I think precisely embodies what works and what doesn't. If this is your goal, you'll figure out something that works.
Government can ban combustion too. So that next time it's revealed in a court of law that you caused combustion, you'll be locked up. It's not about preventing combustion, it's about if they find evidence that you combusted, you getting a criminal sentence.
Some of them are six-figure deals. I don't personally know about any seven-figure deals, but we only find out about a minority of the use of the agreements.

The NDA is definitely the highest volume agreement, however. And a lot more of the deals are for 10k than $300k.
Well, the piracy is preventing you from buying a new device, where u can buy old titles in the classic/retro category.
Here is a LLM database project also now in ShowHN you might compare what you have under the hood with:

With no further algorithmic improvements, GPT-4 level AI should be achievable today (provided extensive compute / training on an order of magnitude more tokens than current models) in about the same file size as a typical YouTube video.

Assuming some algorithmic improvement in the nearish future, I see no reason GPT-5 level AI in a GB or two isn't right around the corner.

(For comparison, GPT-3.5-Turbo is likely a finetuned Curie 13B, which is just about 8GB in 4bit.)
That's because Facebook didn't wait for the UK regulatory body to come to a decision before completing the acquisition.

You don't have to tell the UK Competition & Markets Authority about an acquisition before it happens, but if you don't then you risk something like this happening. While an investigation is ongoing it may block some steps towards integrating companies and it gets about six months to make a decision. Facebook then spent a few years appealing and negotiating. Presumably giphy spent all of this time in some sort of limbo.
Honestly, this is the sort I'm rooting to be culled out. I'm all for a healthy work-life balance but have no sympathy for the "rest and vest" folks - there are absolutely people getting paid in the top 1% who work ~25 hours a week and do absolutely nothing useful. Meanwhile, there are plenty of critical teams drowning in work that can't get additional headcount because of layoffs and the fact they don't have the right buzzword in their team name. If you're taking up a seat and coasting, someone else is paying the price.

Unfortunately FAANG rating systems aren't great and often reward vanity projects going nowhere over the work keeping the company afloat, so I entirely believe that's possible even while having good ratings.
This one's the best so far: https://youtu.be/zc62rt-gafc
The hard part I think will be integrating the LLM closely enough with the other programs on your machine that it's actually useful in that context, and not just a glorified chat window or a text interface to do things you can already do more easily with a KB+Mouse.
I know rail is heavily subsidized, but aren't most airline routes (with the exception of EAS for really rural places) not subsidized at all?
If you try to argue that the well-being of capitalists and the well-being of regular people/workers are one and the same you run into contradictions very quickly.

Always the long game with Nintendo.

I am sure they think that a free-for-all on legacy consoles might take business away from selling the same titles on Switch.

They might even be right! It's really hard to say.
> don't run untrusted code

The entire point of this thread is how a chain of trust should be maintained. "Don't run untrusted code" is skipping from the question straight to a hypothetical world where an answer has already been established.

USA. Regarding the government, from 10pm to 6am the only thing prohibited is “Obscene content”, which is that which “appeals to an average person's prurient interest; depicts or describes sexual conduct in a "patently offensive" way; and, taken as a whole, lacks serious literary, artistic, political or scientific value”.

I haven’t yet found myself in want of that sort of material.

At least not in audio-only form…

However both are fabless design companies. By "manufacturing" in the US they don't mean building their own fabs etc but rather contracting with a US based company vs Chinese, South Korean or Taiwanese.
Personally I wouldn't implement such a policy purely because it's against my values.

People generally value their privacy. How are children supposed to learn the same if their's is not respected?
The drivers have a penchant to break with routine updates too, which is irritating to say the least. There's been a few times where on a machine with Broadcom wifi I've found myself without a connection after updating and no ethernet connection handy, forcing me to tether from my phone to get wifi working again.

I'm happy that Intel WiFi+BT chipsets have been popular in recent years. Those work great basically everywhere and don't randomly break.
Do they all have to look like they're circa 1993? Can we possibly get a modern looking EMACS badge?

Google photos? Any photo you take gets uploaded to the cloud.

If you want a method not depending on any service (and assuming you have an android), get Termux for your phone, and have a home screen shortcut to start a web server that you can browse on your computer.
I sometimes think about how if humans were to go extinct, and some other species were to eventually develop intelligence and replace us, then there is a pair of animals walking (or swimming or flying) the earth today that would be the ancestors of that species.
Thank you for this comment. I enjoy hearing about intricacies of engineering processes-- particularly those that sound "easy" on the surface.

This gives me a deeper appreciation for cars with plastic body panels. I also wonder if DeLorean Motor Company took any of this into account when they designed the DMC-12 with stainless steel body panels.
> About half openly admitted to being a SWE because they couldn't get a product manager role and hoped to pivot into it from SWE after a few years

I'm always kind of curious about these folks. Do they not communicate amongst themselves? It would seem that 50% aspiring to be product managers could not be statistically possible.

I feel like if I walked into a service bay of a dealership and asked the mechanics working on vehicles, there is no way 1/2 of them would try and claim they expect to be service advisor in 2 years.
This is fascinating, thanks. Can you elaborate more on how the label printer and Livestrong bracelets ruined paint jobs? Was it something they emitted through the air? How would that be in concentrations to affect the paint job, what would happen to the paint?
> TikToc is content creators sharing their videos with the whole world.

Seems like a "social"ly focused way of producing/consuming a particular kind of "media".

In all seriousness, I think the defining characteristics of social media for me include:

- a social graph, I can follow other entities, and they can follow me
- bottomless, user produced content and feeds
- interactive commentary and messaging between users
- promotion algorithms, where the endless content is filtered and promoted, potentially leading to something going "viral", including by those who aren't in my immediate social network
- a focus on sharing content between users
- some form of voting, liking, or reacting

I don't think something needs all of the above to be considered social media. Some things ride the line quite a bit: a Discord server, if small between friends, probably doesn't qualify and is closer to a group chat. A large Discord server with lots of users who don't know each other? Probably counts. HackerNews, and other message boards? You could make an argument either way, but in HN's case, I'd say it is social media.
This thread is super hackernews-y, people complaining about the performance of the PC that runs it compared to equally priced specs, some comments about source code and APIs, some comments about copying a open source product, a few about when AI can make music??

Doesn't really seem to be much talk about the actual product, I must say I haven't owned either, but it looks super cool! The video was very well done showcasing the product and in/out with the guitar. I am still not a 100% sure who the target market is, hobby musicians? Professional DJs?

I also wonder how easy it is to repeat an action, on a guitar a C major sounds like a C major on that same guitar. But you can't really remember did I move my finger 4 blocks and 3/4th of the other block of 5 blocks and a half?
podman-compose was never official, though- was it?

I'm still using it, because the last time I had time to mess with it, docker-compose still required a lot of fiddling to work with podman. From the other replies to your comment, I guess it must have gotten better, so I'll guess I'll try docker-compose again soon.
I shifted my career away from tech to therapy[0] and took lengthy trainings in Hakomi, a method similar to Somatic Experiencing mentioned in the article. It's truly amazing how much more profound sessions can be with experiential therapy that includes the body. I have really benefited from somatic therapies myself and have given loads of sessions that others have found useful.
