I mean, you're sending _me_ the bytes. I get to decide what I do with them.

I don't tend to complain when people stop serving content when I'm using an ad-blocker, but I do reserve the right to do whatever I want with the bytes you've already sent.

shitting literally anywhere but the dead center of the street or sidewalk shows a non-zero amount of caring about how one conducts oneself as part of a society. when one stoops to the level of shitting in the middle of where everyone walks (I visited SF in 2016, and from what I understand, it has not gotten any better since), one implicitly displays a complete and utter disregard for his fellow man. shitting in any bush or patch of grass is a step up from that. even pooping in a bag (I was going to say "free grocery bag" but I suppose they don't have those in SF anymore, do they?) and leaving it in a gutter is better than depositing your feces right in the middle of a public thoroughfare!

if I woke up tomorrow on the streets of SF, homeless, without a penny to my name, and in dire immediate need of taking a dump, I would do it literally anywhere that could even be slightly considered "out of the way of other people," and it would never even cross my mind to even consider dropping a fat steamy deuce right where everyone can step in it.

when you take a shit in the middle of a crosswalk or sidewalk, you're implicitly displaying your total rejection of even the most baseline expected behavior of the society you physically reside within. this is completely obvious to anyone who has never immersed themselves in one of these decaying societies to the point where they become numb to it.
Yeah, this is annoying.

But you don't live with it -- you either move the extra keys to subdir, so that gnome keyring does not pick it; or use "IdentitiesOnly yes"/"IdentityFile foo" in .ssh/config to restrict certain hosts to certain keys (and yes, those work with ssh agent caching too).

I know many people just don't care about working tool, and tolerate the pain, but hopefully if someone knows enough to setup fail2ban, they should also be able to setup ssh config. Especially since reliable ssh connections is such a high quality of life improvement.
You seem to be conflating drug use with homelessness. Lots of unhoused people are not on drugs and lots (the vast, vast majority) of drug users have homes.

I think conflating the two is not productive.
It seems to be mostly security alerts on large transfers (over $10,000). The first version of this story I read [0] had Thacker's transfer (first in the WSJ story) as $17,000, not $1,700, but maybe that's a typo.

Is there some rationale for this? I'm surprised that farms specifically get a pass on things like that.
I had very intelligent linear algebra professor in college but he was, in my opinion, a very poor communicator. I paid attention to lectures and stared at the text, but couldn't really understand the material. For the first part of a linear algebra course, students who don't mind blindly following mechanical processes for solving problems can do very well.
Unfortunately I'm one of those people who tends to reject the process until I understand why it works.

If it wasn't for Strang's thoughtful and sometimes even entertaining lectures via OCW, I probably would have failed the course. Instead, as the material became considerably more abstract and actually required understanding, I had my strongest exam scores. I didn't even pay attention in class. I finished with an A. Although my first exam was a 70/100, below the class average, the fact that I got an A overall suggests how poorly the rest of the class must have done on the latter material, where I felt my strongest thanks to the videos.

So anyway, thank you Gilbert Strang.
Is this course related to his most recent book, Linear Algebra and Learning from Data[1]?

The laws in question are framed as secularist, but aimed at Muslims who dress differently. I daresay nobody who wears a crucifix in that highly catholic province is going to get much hassle, but wear a hijab, on the other hand...

I'm not particularly interested in a contest of anti-wit where you try to convince me the government of Quebec are actually superduper committed anti-religionists and I get increasingly frustrated, but I definitely consider it a law based in racist motivation and which is playing out in a highly racist way, just like the crack laws down there in the 90s were targeted at black people. Superpredators and all that.

Anyways I'm not sure what you're after here - is it that, the Confederate South was the pinnacle of racism? And nothing should ever be compared to it, because that's insulting to the pride of the generations of Southern Racists who have worked very hard to successfully maintain an aura of abject Hun-like barbarism against a tide of woke PCism that grows ever more powerful?

Am I making you feel like maybe, as an American, your racism is maybe not as remarkable as you think it is, and in fact, is just another case of US exceptionalist ego tripping? I mean, let's face it, Jefferson Davis was no Hitler, and neither is whoever is running Quebec right now, they're all just boring assholes throwing red meat to their boring fans.

And lest you think I'm some sort of Anglo nationalist, no, I live on Treaty One Territory and I despise my own government just as much for the exact same reasons. It's the same everywhere, dude - you people just have more guns and less self-control about it.

I would assume it is because providing compassion would win over protecting taxpayer from abuse everytime. Providing compassion is taxpayer money. Preventing abuse is self motivated. Also If giver is 100% compassionate no one would dare complain even if they are against it. If 1 abuser is denied due to abuse the whole govt will get blamed for not being compassionate enough without rock solid lawyer/political level proof

Not always… sometimes the app is just Spotify. Haven’t tried the option trick with it, but there the window is simply closed. Clicking the icon in the dock opens a new window, but tabbing to it does not. And yeah, I never remember the shortcut to open it once I switch to it, because cmd+0 and cmd+1 don’t bring up a new window for Spotify. So I always reach for the mouse and click the icon in the dock.

Normally my favourite method to switch apps is Spotlight, accessible with ctrl+space or cmd+space, I forget which. Anyway, Spotlight is a great app switcher, you can disable most everything else and just type a letter or two to switch. I use Powertoys on Windows to get a similar switcher there.

But again, Spotify breaks this, and switching using Spotlight does not recreate the Spotify window, if I remember correctly. Once again reaching for the dock…
An ungratifying review of classical considerations.

TL;DR: life eats and shits to maintain order in an existential reality destined for exhaustion through heat dissipation.

There are a few propositions warranting review updating these aged yet simple truths.

Firstly, a revised definition of entropy which satisfies both classical physics and information theory.

Entropy is the distribution of potential over negative potential. Whether heat dissipation or chaotic exchange, what is happening is the distribution of potential (whatever or whichever) over negative potential (spacial expansion and thermal equilibrium.)

Inverse square laws, manifold spacial distribution, or merely “where is it?” over “where might it be?”

One short sight modern information theory makes in defining entropy as “the number of possible states in a system”, is that entropy includes all inconceivable outcomes (cosmic rays, cosmic giggle factor, unknown variables, etc.) Shannon’s classical equations regarding the electron distribution over the valence potential is a discrete thought experiment. An electron may raise shelves and leave the valence entirely through excitation beyond this variable account.

Entropy is therefore the distribution of potential over negative potential (Shannon’s example is pragmatically as much.)

Life is biochemical machinery which consumes an enormous amount of energy to maintain stability. A losing battle which checks itself with mortality to counter the inevitable structural decay (how suck all would it be for all life to eventually die of cancer?)

Stability is merely that which requires more energy to undo than the energy required to sustain (a bargain which fails in even the slightest extremity.)

Entropy and life are inextricably linked, yet better definitions may help us suss greater potential than the standard resolve.

I don’t get into a lot of conspiracy theory scenarios. I also don’t think it’s even much of a conspiracy - when the recession hits and people can’t afford housing they default on mortgages. Corporations buy them and turn back into renters. I’ve seen stats that say that happened to 5% of the population during the last 10-15 years.

Just use `ssh-add -c` and confirm each use. If you have _really_ old ssh (which is probably insecure anyway) using gpg-agent as ssh-agent had this feature a few year earlier, but we are talking archeology here.
I'm of the opinion that if they accidentally leak their credentials to anyone, they might as well leak them to everyone.

Sure, the risk of compromise goes up, but the whole culture of "we only sent those passwords once on unencrypted ftp across the internet" leads to powerful nation state spies having a field day...

If all unencrypted data sent over the internet were in a big public archive for everyone to see, then people would soon clean up their security habits.
Is this due to the fact that the unemployment rate only considers people as “unemployed” if they are actively looking for work? If more people who were taking a long-term break from the workforce (e.g. stay-at-home parent, retired, “funemployed,” etc.) are trying to jump back into the workforce, the unemployment rate can rise even as the economy adds jobs.

Excuse me - It's Friday and I've finished working so I'm having a few beers... I went to Bronx Community College here in NYC. It was the only place that accepted me close by. That was only six years ago or so. For me, that institution was the only way out of a life of working part-time bar gigs. I went on to CCNY and got a nice full-time programming job. Life is good yadda yadda.

In my opinion, access to free education is key to social mobility.

AGI doesn't change anything. It enriches everything. It's a tool. A bicycle for the mind (not to sound cliché). AGI, could be compared to the invention to writing. It doesn't invent anything new but reinforces what we know. Everyone gains from it, of course some more than others. But nonetheless AGI will enrich our lives, and hopefully help those struggling out of a life of hunger/poverty and into a a life that they can support themselves and their families.

It's a standard library feature, rather than a language feature.

And you might say, "Who cares? Even freestanding has the standard library". Nope, std::array wasn't added to freestanding. You can dig into the messy details for yourself if you want, but suffice to say your freestanding C++ doesn't have std::array

So the C++ language has "arrays" but they're garbage, and if you point out that the arrays are garbage you're told to use this library feature, which may not be available.

Can someone please explain further why it costs them money to take the shows off Disney+ and how, one assumes, this leads to more money in the future.

Is the write down due to expected fall in subscriptions? Does this save money paid to IP rights holders? Do they hope to make more money by licensing the content to third parties? Are their Internet expenses too high?

After rewatching all the Marvel films, the reason I keep my Disney+ subscription is because there seems to be a lot of other films I’d like to watch. For example, I have recently just watched most of Wes Anderson’s films.

Is Disney’s biggest problem that people don’t know that content is there?
With H/3, modern frameworks have become unnecessary deviations from web standards that result in high costs and lower app lifetimes. Do standard server side work, don’t use node as a server, sprinkle a bit of typescript where needed, and keep things lean.

As a recovering front end developer of 20 years, someone who has played with every damn framework and used most of them professionally; just stick to web standards and ignore the frameworks unless you specifically need them.

For example: we are using HN. It is simple. It works. It does not need to change. It does not need to be reddit or twitter or whatever, to be engaging. It’s good because it’s focused simple and well maintained. Almost every app I enjoy that has been over complicated or lost touch with its user base has done so while implementing these frameworks. They are business death. See; Facebook (react destroyed fb), Google (angular destroyed AdWords and G Suite), and so on. You lose analytics, accessibility, performance for the end user, less server side bugs is bad when clients are running the bugs, and most importantly you lose track of your customers needs.

If you want your shit to work, keep it close to the metal, conform to standards, scale only where necessary, and listen to your customers.

Moderation isn't impossible. FREE Moderation probably is, yes. I wouldn't call myself a power user here on HN, but from my understanding the moderation here is done by one admin who is part of YCombinator.

I think that's really the only way for this to work going forward if you want a reasonable volume of quality discussion. It's a job so mods need to get paid.

>We need to go back to purposely small communities.

I'm not against it. But I haven't seen an example of a modern (~last 10 years) small community that just ends up having a dearth of discussion. I'm talking less than one post and 5 comments a day kinds of discussions. It's really hard to find that sweet spot, and arguably harder to maintain it without ballooning out of control or stagnating and losing users.

Discord seems closest to this, but it has the same problems from server to server. either you are part of some small guild server and discussion only ramps up for large events or you have a larger general server and it's just a hose of random quips, barely different from a chat stream.
Would someone please point out some interesting pieces from this archive?
Moreover, it's irrelevant. Demand vastly overshadows supply, hence the insane prices. That's it. There isn't remotely enough of a basic human need. Everything else is window dressing until we address that fundamental, econ. 101 problem.
It could, but that would be a cat-and-mouse game. (Rate limits, bot checks, cloudflare, etc) If it's not too tedious I'm definitely going to consider changing it to that.
For work we always pick the cloud version. Chances are whoever is running that cloud version knows their shit better than we do and if we self host it it's on AWS anyway so probably not much cheaper if scale is any issue.

It's not that the in-falling particle is an anti-particle which annihilates with a particle inside the black hole. There are no particles inside the black hole, in theory, it's just a singularity. Instead it's that when one of the particle escapes, whether it's antimatter or not, the energy of that spontaneously created particle must be balanced out somewhere (conservation of energy), and that balance comes from the black hole.

It's unfortunate that some of the smallest, most expensive, most mismanaged and ideological 7x7 mile real estate in the US is being used as the dumpster for humans in need of serious medical attention and societal support.

SF can barely build a public toilet without it turning into a taxpayer trough feeding frenzy, so expecting it to be the Mecca of the homeless, the addicted and the downtrodden is comedic at best, and tragic at worst. Even if someone were to get back on their feet from addiction, SF is the last place where they would want to try to live, given the astronomical cost of everything, unless they're going to suddenly become senior ML engineers who can afford a downpayment on a $1M 500sqft cockroach shoebox.

Most people with regular jobs can't afford to live in SF... think school teachers driving in every morning from Sacramento, and that's without fighting every day against a crippling meth addiction.

There's practically infinite room in Bakersfield, Stockton, Lancaster, Fresno, housing is more affordable, the local governance more amenable, the cost of living night and day, but nobody in policy will ever be able to pull that off, so we'll be stuck with the current status quo that nobody is happy with.

If you can do the same thing as today's biggest movies with fewer people, it means that you'll need to do more to separate your big movies from the rest of the pack.

TV and movies today use extensive visual effects for stuff that would've been shot on-set or on-location and not retouched at all 20 years ago. All the soccer field and stadium stuff in Ted Lasso, for instance. The 20 year ago version probably would've had stock photos/video and hard splits between shots of "the stadium fans" and shots of "the coaches by the sideline," and nobody would've complained... but try to get away with that today as a top-end TV show and you'd get panned for how fake and cheesy your penny-pinching looks compared to your competition.

I certainly don't think I can predict what that "more" looks like in twenty years, but I doubt it's purely "throw more generative tools at it." It could be something like "throw an army of hundreds of people to review, collate, and cherry-pick the coolest out of hundreds of thousands of generative outputs" - if everyone has access to good tools, then maybe the truly breathtaking stuff will be the stuff from people who can afford the time to curate to a specific vision.
