If it's a research paper then the point is to push the frontier of science and knowledge forward, or at least to the side. This means that you will have to know where the frontier is. That frontier can be marked by some previous papers which you will cite in your paper. If your paper really pushes the frontier, then you can target the journal where the paper in the old frontier that your paper pushes past was published. If your work is original and credible and acceptably written and really pushes the frontier then they will likely be more than happy to publish it no matter where it comes from.

I would tell a story about a paper being published but I don't want to end up archived in the creepy backrooms of algolia https://news.ycombinator.com/highlights
Wait, so, a person "saved" the film by simply having a backup. Was it this person's idea to keep backups? It doesn't seem to be so. In fact, the backup was several days old. I wonder why this person would be given this honour. I wonder...

I also wonder if people just expect such a person to have a job for life after one such "heroic" performance. I wish I could be so lucky.

Musk seems to understand that money is a means, not an end. He doesn't want money for its own sake. He's got so much money that if he just plain lost $44 billion between the couch cushions he probably wouldn't bother looking for it.

Musk wants the power and prestige that come from setting the policy on the world's most influential platform. He thinks he's putting the world aright.

I think he imagines that everybody else will come to see it his way. He's hardly unique in that: most people believe that the world would be better of if we all just did things my way.

Now... he also seems to be just plain failing at that. He doesn't seem to understand why people paid attention to Twitter. He may not care if he harms the company financially, but if it's also costing him influence, and making him look stupid, he really is worse off.

I'm sure he'd ask me if I'm so smart, how come I ain't rich. All I can answer is that time will tell -- and maybe not even then. He could well succeed even if he's wrong and I'm right.
No, yours is the mischaracterized take.

The context in which the GP was speaking was running a forum. I've responded to it.

You've responded by going on tangents about personal blowback for personal activities and, strangely enough, protests.

That's not the threat vector that people trying to self-host forums tend to face - and even when it is, it's not that different from regular, run-of-the-mill mill stalking/and/or/harassment/chan-board-brigading/sub-brigading that anyone running any forum, self-hosted or not has to deal with.
Yeah. At the time I remember the sentiment being more "woah, this is amazing" and less "boo, corporate overlords taking over".
It didn't fail, it's just that GUI chat UIs like AOL and later web forums were more visually attractive, and were able to incorporate graphics. Usenet relied on uuencode for any sort of binary attachment which was a pain in the ass. There was also a high degree of snobbishness that made it unwelcoming to new users, who naturally went to other fora where they weren't treated like children.

The other problem was spam. Usenet had excellent moderation/blocking capabilities for the time ('welcome to my killfile' was the last thing many trolls heard from a person), but relied on a general consensus that spam is cancer. Then Laurence Canter and Martha Siegel single-handedly broke usenet in one afternoon nearly 30 years ago, and I still feel annoyed whenever I think of them. People like this exemplify everything that is toxic about capitalism.

They didn't lay her off the next day or even the next year or even next decade. How long does a heroic act entitle you to a job at a company for?
I find it interesting that most of these tactics can be summarized into: "write clearly and provide ample information."

I have a side business for ACT/SAT prep. I teach English, and often have to remind students about sentence structure and word flow. For example, I can't say "My mom, my grandma, and I went to her favorite store" -- in that example, there is no clear way to know who "her" is.

Similarly, I see many people claim GPT-n is "dumb", yet when I see their prompt, I realize it was a bad prompt. There are clear logical inconsistencies, there is inadequate information, and there is confusing word usage.

I've been astounded by GPT-4 and have nearly 5x-ed my productivity with it (for coding and for parsing documents). But I think my experience is a result of my habitual "standardized testing" writing style, while others' poor experience is a result of their more layman writing style.
Before you wrap yourself too tightly in the 1st Amendment to the Constitution of the U. S., perhaps it would be helpful if you defined what “free speech” means to you. Because repeatedly typing “no true Scotsman…” doesn’t do much to move the conversation along, and definitions obviously differ.

For example, I feel that you can say what you like, just not in my living room. Free speech does not guarantee an audience.
Most mainstream languages conflate memory layout and type definitions so your Option<T> is going to be implemented internally with worse-than-sentinel-values and take an even larger performance hit.
I predict that as time moves on, AI will be responsible for generating a larger and larger percentage of politically correct content, until there comes a day when, for all practical purposes, 100% of all politically correct content is AI generated and 100% of politically incorrect content is created organically.

At that point there will be two worlds, one that feels genuine and is politically incorrect and the other that feels like a fairy tale and is oriented around farming consumers.
In the past, the thing to look for was laptops with multiple mini PCIe connectors (generally for WiFi cards and sometimes cellular) but now the thing to look for is M.2 slots with PCIe on them. Generally the easiest thing to do is to yank out the wifi card and add your own thing there, and then for networking you can just use either onboard or a decent type-c gigabit dongle. Some laptops have spots for multiple SSD's and you can just use one of those instead.

Keep in mind that even a basic PCIe card can pull up to 75 watts and that you'll probably need some sort of external power supply. There are two main routes you can go- use a second external laptop power brick, or what I did- slap an entire computer power supply in there.

I bought an SFX power supply from EVGA, who has an awesome B-stock program where you can get returned / refurbished stuff for cheaper than normal and it still comes with a warranty. If you do decide to use a computer PSU, I'd highly recommend one that's modular, because you won't need a bunch of the wires and they take up a lot of space quickly.

To tell the power supply to turn on, you can either use the 'paper clip trick' to jumper it on, or get an "ADD2PSU" board (basically a relay on a PCB) and use a USB cable to power the relay and you should be good to go.

If you use a laptop power supply, you'll either need something that's 12V or get step down boards or a Pico PSU or something like that.

The thing to search up is "M.2 NGFF to PCIe" or something like that. I'd recommend getting ones with some kind of cable and an open back of slot design so that you don't wind up needing two adapters for one thing.

Adapters and cables are available from the usual suspects- Amazon, eBay, and Aliexpress will all have what you want.

This is a lot of information, but this is legitimately pretty easy to do as long as you make sure you check all the boxes- PCI lanes, external power, and something to keep the new stuff you're strapping on safe.
Maybe? Many languages can possibly expose an AST abstraction that you can use to achieve the same results, but you will have to resort to a new syntax to make that work. Compare with https://taeric.github.io/CodeAsData.html, where you can take the normal syntax of a function, but use it to get something else.

That is to say, the "quote" form in lisp is far more than just a string template, which is what it often turns into in other languages. That, or you build up a bunch of structs that you don't normally see.
As a 10 year veteran of a small (less than 20 employees) software company, I can confirm they do exist. Many a screw-up has been overlooked, and I do feel that my overall contribution to the company is valued. We are all friends here. It's not perfect, but I don't envy participants in the corporate rat race.
Disagree again. Here are some towns and smaller cities that more than rival DC.

So when you go to work, they count the parking space there towards the square footage for your car, but not your office there towards the square footage for you? And when you stay at a hotel, they're counting the hotel's parking space towards the square footage for your car but not the hotel room towards the square footage for you? It's unfair and absurd to only count the square footage for you where you live, but to count the square footage for your car everywhere you ever drive it to.

Are you missing a figure my friend?

The lowest rate I see in July 2013 is 1.48 (NOT 1.148). Todays rate is 1.24. Down 17%?

The usual rate was somewhere around 1.6 pre-Brexit, down ~25%. I think that's a bigger shift than ever seen outside of (other) catastrophes...

small or tiny companies don't adhere to these dynamics (mainly because it's impossible to over-hire in the first place), but of course generally nobody "established" wants to work for a no-name company if it isn't some well funded startup. they're happy to interview and get an offer and use it as leverage against a bigger company, though.

you also hear this from customers, but of course generally nobody wants to be a customer of a smaller unknown company either. same thing - they're happy to get a quote and use it as leverage against a big competitor.

as long as you want that upside of security or a big paycheck or prestige or "never got fired for choosing" or whatever imaginary thing you've convinced yourself of, you're also going to get a corresponding downside when the going gets tough.

live by the sword, die by the sword. if you're unhappy about the dynamics of big companies, maybe consider a change.
There are many key differences:

* A movie/show being delayed mostly has extreme financial consequences for the studio employer, not for the individual writer employees. By contrast, a scientific publication being delayed mostly has extreme career consequences for the individual scientist employees, not for their employer institution.

* The NIH's funding comes from the US government. A studio's revenue comes from the audience. NIH funding is unlikely to decrease as the result of a researcher strike, whereas a studio's revenue will unequivocally decrease as the result of a writer strike.

* Few people outside of the scientific community will directly perceive the consequences of NIH research being postponed for a few months. On the other hand, many people who enjoy watching movies/TV will directly feel the impact of favorite shows being postponed or cancelled.

* As demonstrated in [0], the effects of the strike are already glaringly evident after just a month, and will be even more evident after a few more months.

Why is this even a guess?

The rumors of Reddit's death are greatly exaggerated. I'm shocked at the number of people here who don't understand that Reddit has thousands of SWEs and PMs and Directors now, and they've definitely run the numbers on many outcomes.

Reddit has no viable competition for the service it provides. And it's no longer a space for techies and nerds, Digg v2 is something that happened in the old world. There's a bunch of people using Reddit exclusively on their phones via the first party app, and I'd bet it's approaching majority. Reddit is not going anywhere.
> Home assistant can run on a pi and is actually decently lightweight.

I've been running Home Assistant on a Raspberry Pi 2B for years with no complaints.

It takes about 7 minutes to compile the firmware for a single ESPHome device which is a long time but it's hands off so it has no impact on me.
Thank you, this is the first explanation I've heard that clicked with me.
Hi, I'm sorry for coming across as rude, but your post had no content other than a statement that you think Elixir has similar syntax benefits as Lisp.

I think there's enough data that even the best human programmers and lifetime checkers aren't able to track lifetimes over a 10 million line code base.

That's why we're stuck with lifetimes as function contracts.

Lisp advocates think that "everything looks the same" is an advantage, whereas most people strive desperately to make things look different in informative ways with syntactic features (e.g. different brackets) and syntax highlighting.
> What is holding back Bitcoin adoption for small online payments? With Bitcoin, a payment is a payment.

you need easy ways for people to get into Bitcoin. A CC (or in Europe, SEPA direct debit) is easy, customers are already used to this, and it works hassle-free.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin? If you're not set up with an exchange already, you need to set up an account, pass through KYC crap which may take hours, and only then you can pay. The only kind of services worth that effort are truly anonymous VPNs and servers or drugs.

Naughty Dog only switched because they were bought out by Sony who then demanded that they change languages.

Reddit was merged with another YC company. That company used Python, so they switched everyone to Django. Last I knew, most of Reddit’s outage woes were still due to the outdated ORM they are stuck with. In any case, Common Lisp is hardly “unproven Tech”.
You're replying to a post about NetBSD ;)

Your statement, "But in general the OS support isn't very good," would be better framed as "But in general the Linux OS support isn't very good," because OS support for pre-earmv7hf and pre-aarch64 is excellent in NetBSD.

Well that's what Paypal (and Stripe) essentially is.

As a seller, I don't have to implement PCI compliance, deal with an acquirer bank to process transactions, fraud checks, whatever - I link up the Paypal/Stripe/... account to my shop and that's it.

And as a customer, I don't need to trust Joe Random's webshop with my CC details, and I have a reasonably well working customer support when the seller turns out to be shady.

As they have been doing for a long time now, the bureaucrats in Europe will squeeze and regress their market regardless. If they can, they will; the law of the bureaucrat.

As an American, I say don't interrupt your competition while they're making generational mistakes. They're once again making it easier for the US to win another inflection round in tech and maintain our lead globally (and that's with a subpar, broken US that isn't anywhere near being in fighting shape).
Its actually quite interesting just how good it is at making things up. When I first started using it I didn't realise it even could, so when I got a non-existent GDScript function, I started to prod it to see where it came from. It was able to explain the function, tell me when it was added (of course Godot is open source so it would in theory have access to this) and even the commit hash used to add it, and all of it sounded very plausible. It was only when I pointed out that it doesn't exist that it admitted it.

Admittedly that was on GPT3, I haven't tried GPT4 as I can't afford it at the moment. No doubt its better, but I'm not sure how much so.

Funny that people call these "bugs" as if anything related to google search happens on accident.

They don't need to waste the eng resources or infrastructure on rock solid search anymore, they own the market and got all the users into their funnel of products, most locked in for life.

Search results still show sponsored listings, they still have all the users, and all the profit, and a lot less of the profit sucking operational costs it took to be good at what made them a household name, search
I've come across several classes. Sadly, a thing most have in common is derision towards any other class. Be it language choice, agnosticism, editor choice, paradigm choice, toolchain, whatever. It is frustrating, as so many of us seek to find where and how we disagree with each other, when we'd get far more mileage out of understanding where we agree.
> The current generation of work is not AI. The risks it poses are minimal. You cannot hurt me with an LLM.

Maybe you should be asking that question of management, since there's no easy way for unhappy employees to fire a bad manager, decide not to promote them, weigh in on their pay etc. Why is it the responsibility for the people with the least amount of power in the corporate system to shoulder the moral burden of society's future direction?
They are probably trying to reduce "misinformation" by removing most of the web from their index. With AI, they could just ask bard, "does this website contain any information that would be considered misinformation?" and then just ban it.

If you want "misinformation," or to just search the web like it's the mid 2000s, you can use http://Yandex.com. They do a pretty good job on controversial queries. Google has gotten so political that they even have this "results are changing rapidly" page they return when there's been some new political hot topic that they haven't gotten the commissars at headquarters to weigh in on yet as to what's going to be the official narrative.[1]

Glad to see the US taking action.
What I want is a "serious mode" that makes it favor primary sources, peer reviewed papers, and raw data. When I search for economic data, I don't want a million news articles referencing pieces of it. I want the raw data release. When I search for some video going viral, I don't want a million videos of journalists talking and showing clips. I want the full raw video.
