In your opinion. Many other HN users don't feel that way and get tired of seeing the same topic over and over again. If it's not intellectually interesting and seems overly political it's getting that flag button clicked.

EDIT: Before downvoting/flagging me consider that maybe I don't hold the views you dislike. I'm making commentary in the comment section and only pointing out that perhaps it's not dang killing submissions but actually other HN users that don't agree with you.

Do you visit niche or speculate topics? They have far better communities than any of the default communities. My observation is comment quality scales with complexity of the topic.

It’s extremely hard to rebuild most of these high quality communities elsewhere. Often, it seems only the troublemakers/outliers are willing to move to another platform. They simply become a stain on the alternative platform.

This works by doing range requests on an sqlite DB.

Very cool, but does ipfs support verification of partial reads like this? (or would I need to download the whole DB and check the hash?)

I can think of some ways it could work using merkle trees or similar, but I have no idea what ipfs does under the hood, if anything.
Anyone who is a full-time instructor at a university has a strongly considered becoming a professor, but weren’t able to get that job for whatever reason.

And even if you were a professor, if you’re not bringing big money you’re not earning a great salary either. Go look on Transparent California and see how much tenured faculty at a CSU are making.
If your data is uniformly distributed, you wouldn't expect higher order approximations to reduce error. You would have to weigh the cost of that approximation against using an interpolation to get more local data. So, a linear equation is appropriate here.

If your data is non-linear, then polynomials will require a lot of terms to have low enough error, eg. on zipf. You also need to be able to fit the curve efficiently, so hyperbolic interpolation was a viable option.

With respect to finding the pivot beforehand, by choosing the end points, you can have confidence that you won't need to saturate at the end points in the first step. You might get better error by finding a better slope, but that is accepting a much higher cost to choosing the parameters.

I'd be curious to learn about related approaches which you've measured to be a big improvement, although I didn't understand all the terms you used.

Alaska Permanent Fund
Although I agree wholeheartedly with the economic logic, I have a couple of minor counterpoints:

1. Constant 2% inflation at least doesn't have the negative effects of unpredictable inflation, its just a 2% tax.

2. Certain prices appear to be slightly sticky in that they don't go down, for example, wages are almost never cut in nominal terms, for psychological/cultural reasons- people tend to quit if their wages get cut. Slight inflation allows these to slowly decrease without running into the asymmetric price stickiness behavior.

What do you think?
Tangential, but does anyone know what's happening with the JS IPFS implementation? when I tried it a while ago it seemed broken.

Another issue is that it tends to be very bursty. They will often get a big payout, but then nothing for several years. There aren't that many writers who get a reliable pay check, so it is more (in common with acting) a lot of people getting occasional big payouts and then drifting off to be replaced by the next batch of hopefuls.

I doubt average amounts are in any way meaningful in this context.
That's eye watering but turns out most of it was given in performance based stock options a few years ago, staggered over seven years, at prices (judging by today's stock value) that will never be hit.

I don't see a ton of demand for LLMs (especially offline/local ones) unless they fact check themselves. I don't see how there's a need for nonsense generators if you can't trust the output.

> There is also the issue that it seems safe to assume that many people at the CIA etc consider him a traitor and would like to assassinate him, given the opportunity, even if he could be assured of immunity from prosecution.

The US is known for supporting or conducting extrajudicial executions, but they all served a very specific geostrategic and geopolitic goal.

There isn't a single case of a political assassination case conducted out of spite, such as the one in the conspiracy theory you fabricated. There is also no goal to achieve, or win to be had, or position to be improved by assassinating Snowden. Snowden's relevance ended a long time ago. In fact, any of those conspiracy theories would represent an unequivocal loss for the US.

If anything, the CIA would be involved in protecting Snowden in the US from the likes of Russia to avoid a false flag assassination to embarrass the US.
I don't mean to be rude, and to be clear I wish they did release the weights, but what did they lose here?

You don't approve - so what? Releasing the weights doesn't make them money.

I'm skeptical LLaMa is even useful for facebook commercially at least, they don't make money on it, and I doubt anyone developed brand loyalty, more then likely everyone will use whatever the next, best open model is regardless of who makes it.

CIA: Oh we totally did that in the 40's, 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's and we totally tried to cover it up for decades but hey we totally stopped now! Proof? We said we stopped didn't we? Why do you need proof?

Anyone who thinks we're still not doing it is a fool. COVID19 is in all likelihood bioweapons research gone wrong. It doesn't take much sleuthing to uncover the Eco Health Alliance application DARPA to test furin cleavage sites on bat corona viruses. DARPA told them "no" and yet here we are. Saying what I'm saying will get you labeled a conspiracy theorist. Would be a shame if there were ever people that conspired and we used that heuristic to dismiss people.

But that's OK with me, conspiracy theories are having a phenomenal few years! We should may consider changing the name to "spoiler alerts".
It's worse than that. A lot of these management tools don't even measure outputs, only inputs, and then only partially and with doubtful predictive value.

WFH parents with kids can confirm that ~100% diseases come in via kids. The scientific community was focused on the danger to kids from COVID, which is not zero, but not that high. But the real danger was that the parents/caregivers would not be able to take care of them.

Most consumers think milk is expensive at $3-4/gal. Maybe it's different where you're at, but in the US it's a race to the bottom. Much of the agriculture relies on subsidies because we can't compete on price when doing global exports.

It's actually not. You can make the same distinction by saying web commenters aren't restricted from writing whatever posts they want, and the debate is about what kind of material is suitable for centralized websites to facilitate.

Really, the larger ideal of free speech is about the desired orthogonality of distribution channels versus content, and general tolerance for things we dislike. We see the results of its diminishing the strongest where the first amendment to the US constitution doesn't legally apply due to these kinds of distinctions.

> How little do they need to make before you feel outrage?

Certainly it would have to be a small enough amount that they might face some kind of financial hardship under normal circumstances. If a company is paying all their employees (which to be clear I know is not the case here, but just as a hypothetical example) enough that they can comfortably raise a family in even the most expensive cities in the world, I'm not going to spend my time criticizing that person regardless of how much they make.
Im glad HN is on the same page about piracy: it’s not stealing if you still have the thing I’ve “taken” from you. If only everyone was consistent enough to apply that logic to AI.
Wikipedia says he was going to a Latin American country, but "while he was aboard the plane [to Moscow], his destination countries grew reluctant to allow him in, and Snowden was thus stuck in the transit area of Moscow Sheremetyevo International Airport." but there is no citation.

Funnily enough he only got the Russian passport many years later, and if I were to speculate, even if he was free to leave, he probably saw after those few years that Moscow was fine and safe enough to live in that he stopped considering leaving, especially if there was a risk of getting CIA'ed in another country.

Interesting take.

There is something called a flame war detector that I've seen referred to by the moderator. From experience this kicks in when comments overwhelm points as I said. I expect it's more sophisticated than that, and as I pointed out, comment to point ratio was clearly not the trigger here.

The next post plausible explanation would be a moderator lowered it's weighting because the discussion was skewing into a rehash of boring arguments.

I can also picture that some people flagged it (though usually this gets a [flagged] appended so it's unlikely. Maybe that qualifies as the community rejecting it and legitimizes the OP's complaint.

The least likely thjng possible is some kind of conspiracy to bury climate change stories.
I don't think it's reasonable to quit a site because a post you feel is important suddenly drops in ranking. There are all sorts of reasons this could happen, with user flagging by a tiny number of individuals probably being the most likely. It's currently sitting at the top of Page 3: https://hnrankings.info/36187203/.

If you genuinely think rage quitting is the best response, probably this place isn't a good fit for you and you should just go. But if your goal though is to improve the site (and possibly the world) for the better, you could send email to Dan (hn@ycombinator.com) and ask what happened here.
How does this work when you need to test your script against multiple databases and multiple schemas? Is this for an enterprise size application?
Nearly 20 years ago we used to install monitoring software to tell if a user's mouse or keyboard hadn't been used in a while. More and more places use traffic inspection "for security". Desks now use sensors to tell when warm bodies are near. Doesn't matter whether you're working from office or in the home, surveillance is here to stay.

Good businesses should only care if work is getting accomplished. Bad businesses will continue to use draconian methods to try to squeeze productivity rather than foster it. Quit the bad ones, join the good ones.

"As a manager, I feel that using metrics from productivity tools to measure productivity is lazy and counter productive."

I agree, if that is the only way you measure productivity. These tools create a more holistic view of what a person does at work and should not be the sole measure of performance.

In reality, what they make visible are the people who do little to nothing for 3+ days. Graphs that shows no work for long stretches make performance conversations much easier. It's tough for a poor worker to argue their way out of that or fake the metrics going forward.

That is largely due to a mix of Apple's investment in emulation technologies, and Apple's ability to exert influence on third party developers and vendors to keep up with their latest tooling. Very little to do with the Mach kernel.

The ability to move between hardware platforms also has very little do with the ability to run operating systems in virtualization. Case in point is that Apple is one of the last major OSes to include a hypervisor in the OS.
The amount of “pro child labor” comments in this thread is truly disheartening.
The bar for extensions is lower than breaking the browser security model. The goal is to slip basic XSS attacks past the Chrome Web Store review process, which is a mix of automated and human linters.

People over-pemission chrome extensions all the time, so you can execute arbitrary JS on any site you want once the user clicks ok. Why bother finding security sandbox exploits when users hand you the keys without thinking.

The extension platform is trying to further isolate extensions, but Google's profit motive is in its own way. See: MV3 and the response.

If Chrome offered an ad-blocker built in to the browser -- and maybe a privacy-blocker too -- they could eliminate the entire extension platform and solve the problem.

This isn't useful for 99% of stuff and pushing every video and music file on earth through a global state machine with the performance characteristics of an Atari from the 80s would render the thing inoperable. The entire Bitcoin network has a bandwidth of like 1mb every 10 minutes, the total size of the blockchain is half a TB in total, people torrent more porn in the time it took me to type this.

Maintaining a global, complete history of transactions only ever made sense for one problem, double spending, and is utterly useless for sharing files.

If you have evidence to present or an argument to make you should do so. Instead you object to the number of comments I'm making (which in contrast do provide evidence and reasoned argument). So we can conclude you don't have any.

I think stealing is a fair word for secretly taking tax payer money and greatly overpaying for something. If you don't think people would object the solution is simple: make the price paid public and people can decide for themselves.
>Today, clever students can share books, buy used, share electronic copies, or skip the book entirely if they don't think it's necessary.

I went back to college in the early 2010s. Even then it wasn't uncommon for a text book to come with a license code for an online learning module that was both required for classwork and non-transferable.

So yes, I could share the book, buy a used copy, or rip a PDF from an ebook, but that doesn't get me into the online class module that my professor is requiring for class, because that's hosted by the textbook's publisher and I don't get access unless I buy the book new.

> Elo ratings tend to accurately predict the outcome of a game. For those who are newer to chess, just know this: If you're pitted against someone with a much higher Elo rating, you can expect a quick and decisive defeat.

Isn't that by definition what ELO is? From Wikipedia:

The difference in the ratings between two players serves as a predictor of the outcome of a match. Two players with equal ratings who play against each other are expected to score an equal number of wins. A player whose rating is 100 points greater than their opponent's is expected to score 64%; if the difference is 200 points, then the expected score for the stronger player is 76%.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elo_rating_system

> I'd imagine the only reason this trend levels out at ~90% is because this data set contains games where a talented new player hasn't quite reached their proper Elo rating yet.

Well, first of all it can't go above 100% so it obviously has to level out somewhere, and second, this is _by definition_ what the curve should look like: A 400 point ELO difference is a 10:1 expected score difference.

> Newcomers, take note: Try to play as White as much as possible [...]

...that's kinda like saying "play against lower-rated players to win more". Sure, if number of games you win is the only thing you care about (and not such things as "getting better at the game" or "playing a fair match"), that's a great idea.
