When I first read this comment, my initial thought was that it would be neat if there were a forum-provider that made it easy for nontechnical users to create and run forums on their platform. That way if you wanted to do a site:forumprovider.com search you’d search across all forum instances. Then I realized that’s exactly how Reddit was originally designed and used!

Anyway, the forums of the aughts were discoverable through search and anecdotally used to be more highly ranked in search queries until they mysteriously started getting derailed by Google I think around 2016 or so. They solve the moderation and spam problem by have forum moderators just like Reddit - unlike Reddit these were usually real people from the forum + owners, and not powermods. Power mods I think do all kinds of shady stuff to monetize their control, with forums that’s less necessary as you can just put up banner ads, sponsored content, etc without running afoul to Reddit policies. And unlike with Reddit, there is no huge incumbency/landgrab advantage from controlling a common term like “politics” because you’re not running on a single site. I was surprised not to see it mentioned more here or on the current top Reddit post also discussing this, I guess most Reddit users are too young to have had exposure to them, but besides Digg it’s actually what Reddit replaced as it grew in the early 2010s.

Please don't break the rules at the top of the thread.

I'm not saying you're wrong. It's just there are two (or more) sides to every story and the hiring threads are no place to adjudicate these things. That's why we have that rule.

Selling the standards documents.
Whilst there's no need to reply, here is some information on the rewriting of history they engage in, as requested.

Here are two graphs from the same government agency (NASA), measuring the same thing (temperature), for the same time period, drawn twenty years apart. The data has been fundamentally altered such that the story it tells is different:

https://realclimatescience.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/NA...

The 2000-2015 pause is the same. You've been told that only "unorthodox" people were talking about it. Here's a brief history of the pause, as told by climatologists publishing in Nature.

https://www.nature.com/articles/nature12534

https://www.nature.com/articles/nature.2013.13832

In 2013 we read that "Despite the continued increase in atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations, the annual-mean global temperature has not risen in the twenty-first century". The IPCC 2013 report is reported with the headline "Despite hiatus, climate change here to stay". Climatologists claim that maybe the missing heat has disappeared into the oceans where they can't find it.

https://www.nature.com/articles/nature.2013.13832

Two years later everything changes. "Climate-change ‘hiatus’ disappears with new data", there's a new version of history and the past 15 years are gone:

"That finding [that global warming actually did happen], which contradicts the 2013 report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), is based on an update of the global temperature records maintained by the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)."

Climatologists have an interesting methodology - when observations don't fit the theory, they conclude the observations must be wrong and go looking for reasons to change them. Given a long enough search they always come up with something that sounds vaguely plausible, then they release a new version of the old data that creates new warming where previously there wasn't any. Although this isn't entirely secret they also don't tell people they're doing this, and the media certainly isn't going to tell anyone either.

And that's how it goes. You look at the edited graphs, remember people talking about a pause and think golly gosh, how badly informed those awful skeptics were. We have always been at war with Eastasia!

Ask HN: Where to find retailer's catalogs in PDF? Any centralized archive?
Do you know of any effort in archiving recent catalogs from retailers? I'm looking for fashion brands like RL, JCrew, Zara, Suit Supply, Uniqlo, HM, etc.
Also furniture and home goods brands: Ikea, Muji, BoConcept, RH, Crate, etc. It could be global brands like those, but I'm also interested in other markets, especially Asia.

With fashion stuff it's proving to be extra hard as they usually don't offer them as downloadables from their websites, which often have terrible and quirky navigation, sometimes meant just to showcase their rapidly changing seasonal collections.

Public archives or z-lib like sites don't have much, more often they carry historic stuff.

I know of a company that does this in Spain and Latin America called Tiendeo.com, you can check the same catalogs, catalog-magazine hybrids, ad inserts brands publish in different media, whether print or digital.

Any ideas on where to go? Or am I stuck just browsing each brand? Thanks!

I have never run into such software and it would be wrong to do this. Open source is a well understood and non-controversial designation. If you are a developer you have run into the OSD for sure and therefore, even if you don't agree with this use of the expression, if your goal is to be clear and understood, you'd be a fool to call your software open source if it does not use an OSI approved license because it would be confusing and you'd be aware of this fact.

The usual qualifier for software with available source code is source-available. There's no doubt about it.

We really don't need even more confusion around the terms of free software and open source than we already have.
I am not sure if LSD use in college gave me any real insights, but it did leave me with a permanent recognition of my internal thought processes. Becoming acutely aware of them essentially. Instead of two layers (internal thoughts then observed reality) there were three (myself, internal thoughts, then observed reality).
the NVIDIA A100 and H100 GPUs being used to run the GPT models are general purpose devices. If they had video ports, you could run 3D games on them!

They're like a CPU: highly programmable, flexible, multi-purpose. This means that when any single "part" of the GPT inference code is running, it's probably using only 10-40% of the die area while the rest is not used and idle.

Imagine a future where a nearly-optimal architecture for LLMs has been figured out and stops changing every few months. At that point, it would be possible to make a dedicated chip that does "nothing else but that". It would be 100% utilised and faster because it would have more units dedicated to the specific task at hand. The data paths could also be optimised to minimise wasteful trips to-and-from external memory, etc...

The ideal "inference chip" would be something akin to an FPGA. Huge numbers of simple cells that can do just the dozen-or-so instructions required, with local memory for the weights and biases. Make these on a cheaper process, run them at 500 MHz for power efficiency, and tile them out by their hundreds in a hybrid memory+compute architecture.

It would be relatively easy to get a factor of 10x, and I suspect 100x is possible.

Hah! I laughed too hard at this.
There were plenty of reasons on the threads here if you look for it. Just because somebody is mostly talking about emotions doesn't mean the argument are not rational.

Anyway, people have different risk profiles than companies. Interest-rate based present day adjustments are meaningless, because they don't have the same opportunities on monetary markets; existential risks are well, really existential, instead of what they are for companies; power relations are extremely important, because people don't get any power; and so on.

Again, if you insist on fixing it, it's a "you" problem that will lead to well deserve failures.

SEEKING WORK | Europe / Sweden / Estonia | Remote preferred, Onsite possible

Hi, my name is Till.

I always like to help people, so if you need help with anything, let me know! :)

I usually work remotely, but I'm open to traveling to visit you. I can help get things running, especially when you're a young startup or launching a new project.

For example, maybe you have written a web app and need it deployed to the cloud. Or maybe you want to scale your product to meet the demand. Or maybe you want to launch your app in a new market, requiring a translation system and a new cloud deployment strategy. I can help make these things possible!

I most often write back-end services or cloud deployments.

Buzzwords: C#, F#, .Net, JavaScript/Typescript, Rust, Elm, C/C++, AWS (Cloudformation, CDK, S3, CloudFront, ECS, Lambda, RDS...), CI/CD, Rust, and Terraform

I've also worked with hiring and product planning. You can also reach out if you just want feedback on your app or code.

I tried comparing the API response against the chat on the same question a few times. There isn’t a huge difference but I’d pick the responses from the API over the ones from chat. Hard to say though, could be RNG.
You can click on links and it doesn't immediately blow up, ideally, it would be like how GRC.com works, but if it has 'some' level of functionality, just to browse around in, that would be nice.

OP is referring to "leaky gut disorder" that people (quacks) will try to treat today. It is not a recognized disorder that requires or has a treatment so it is correctly classified as pseudoscience (there is no scientific basis for the treatment of an unrecognized disease).

Simultaneously altered gut permeability may be seen with some disorders, significance not yet determined.

I have never changed that position.
I am guessing the issues were mostly plugin related, thats the main vector and where people get sloppy by installing unvetted code.

Ahhh I see, so some of the experiments might have not even been deliberate in the end. Either way that's an interesting bit of history, I'm glad to have learned about it!

At one point The New Yorker, with its 90 year archive, was on WordPress.

It only moved off that because Conde Nast (parent company) had their own CMS and wanted to unify what all their brands used.

Having an appliance that generated even half that, 12kwh per day, would be fantastic. The issue, of course, would be cost. It would need to pay itself off within a feasible period of time.
It's good advice when one person is pissed at another person, it's less good advice when that line of disgruntled people stretches down the block and around the corner.

It's naive to assume good intentions when one party has a well-documented, multi-sourced history of behaving poorly.

And a very simple explanation is that the people who got pissed at it weren't the people who worked on the ads, and even if they ultimately gave high-level approval for them, didn't notice the minutia at the time. Maybe the parts of it they had issue with weren't the parts used in the ad. "Back to the office" and "Another Yacht" could have been the trigger words, and they don't appear there.

Interesting! I haven’t felt with MSSql since the early 1990s. And I didn’t know the TOP(10) even back then I would guess.

I’m not an engineer as I’ve never taken an engineering course. Not a computer scientist as I never took a cs course (didn’t exist at the time, then not given for credit in arts and sciences). I’m a hacker cuz that’s how I started in ancient times and I did hacker things. I guess I’m a scientist because I have science degrees. I prefer software developer over programmer, but I answer to either. I build tools.
From reading the article, it appears that there was a fence (presumably intersecting sections of fence) that had to be overcome. Climbing the fences would be, nominally, stepping foot on those fenced properties. Using the ladder let them go over the corner boundary without actually having to step foot on the other two adjacent properties.

---+---
Public |

The fences belong to the private properties (if my understanding is correct) and the ladder lets them technically remain only, with regard to "setting foot", on the public properties.

Blame apple for this.

I've always said you should be able to see what's on your own device, but apple doesn't allow it, you can't access the entire filesystem.

Also you can't see what processes are running, what they are doing, or look at the network traffic being generated.
Even if we knew it was, would anything change? People have built their careers on this stuff. Ten or twenty years ago I laughed at some things that are now just mainstream and normal - people do this stuff, they hire other people who do this stuff, one day you wake up and it's industry best practice and you have to fall in line.

When I first watched the movie Cube I thought the idea that people would build a deathtrap and then put people in it because they thought the incomprehensible bureaucracy they worked for wanted that was ludicrous. Now I realise that's the real horror of the film.

My prediction is that eye contact will be the “killer app” of VR. I keep waiting for someone to release an affordable headset that would let you make eye contact with your family/colleagues.

But here we are, 4 generations in and Meta isn’t doing it.

Kinda bizarre, but the future can wait I guess. Hopefully the Quest Pro will prove out the use case at least for the business market.
There are likely many points in a work environment where the local minima and maxima of work output and employee happiness meet. The important thing is to remember that those are balanced in the small, and that a wider perspective may yield a better outcome on both measurements if you care to search for it.
Yes.

Put the Wordpress on a completely separate server so the WordPress instance is properly firewalled from your main application/database. But don't leave it on a subdomain -- set up a reverse proxy so you can route to a subdirectory on your main domain. Better SEO. I'm not an SEO hawk, but if the point of Wordpress is marketing, then it's important.

Edit: All good replies regarding cookies. Thank you for the correction. It is not "properly firewalled". The server side code is on a different machine, but this doesn't get you "proper firewall".
Thats still logical work not engineering. Software architecture is a bit closer as a term but not used as much. Maybe too pretentious.

"...We present "Human or Not?", an online game inspired by the Turing test, that measures the capability of AI chatbots to mimic humans in dialog, and of humans to tell bots from other humans. Over the course of a month, the game was played by over 1.5 million users who engaged in anonymous two-minute chat sessions with either another human or an AI language model which was prompted to behave like humans. The task of the players was to correctly guess whether they spoke to a person or to an AI. This largest scale Turing-style test conducted to date revealed some interesting facts. For example, overall users guessed the identity of their partners correctly in only 68% of the games. In the subset of the games in which users faced an AI bot, users had even lower correct guess rates of 60% (that is, not much higher than chance). This white paper details the development, deployment, and results of this unique experiment..."
