Sure, but Google's crawler (mostly) obeys robots.txt and other directives. It seems to be one of the most responsible crawlers this way. Here, Invidious is explicitly being told to stop and refusing to do so.

In a lot of these situations there's not much wrong with doing it until you're told to stop. Invidious has just been told to stop.

Google used to have services that felt a lot more like this, like Google Images before it got aggressive about using cached versions and old, old Google Videos. But they got rid of all of those, I suspect because of thinking along these lines. It was very much an open legal issue around newspaper publishers, for example, and while Google is far from innocent they did make changes to mitigate their legal risk. Google seems to be pretty consistent in the idea that serving up content from someone else's service, in their products, is not acceptable. All of AMP kind of got built around that issue. And I don't think Google wanted it that way, but the legal landscape is the legal landscape. If Google is bound by these rules others have to be as well.
A few weeks ago, i saw a Tesla suddenly go 90 degrees on a small road downtown Atlanta ... It took a while for it to get going again... Of course I don't know if it was FSD but I have never seen a human do something this dumb.
Semantic relationships between backend/frontend or microservices are super interesting.

We’re not far off, for example you if you index bloop itself with bloop and ask “What message does the backend send to indicate the frontend should close the eventsource?” bloop will return a decent answer which takes into account the relevant frontend and backend code.

This is an active area of improvement.

You know what we did before drones were developed? Carpet bombs. Drones are a huge improvement.
I'm one that believes that advances in technology aren't necessarily a plus for society. We have a brain that was tuned for survival over millions of years. Our ancestors survived therefore those surviving traits were passed on to us. Technology is changing our environment in an evolutionary blink of the eyes. Our brain cannot adapt fast enough so we will use those survival traits as our technology gets more powerful. Survival in the past has mostly meant force. We literally fight to stay alive and that means we create ever and ever stronger weapons. Technology has already shown that we can and have created weapons that can destroy earth as we know it. New technology will only make that worse since we have never invented any new tech without ultimately using it for war. No, tech is not necessarily a plus for society and our world.

My issue with reading Kaczynski, which I have not but have an idea of his manifesto, is that he was trying to bring about change through force and destruction. Through out the history of men, force has always been a temporary fix. It may seem like a relatively easy fix but once force is removed, we all return to whatever the force was trying to change.

The only way change can thrive is through consensus. The majority needs to agree that a change should happen. That type of change is very time consuming, messy and long. But it's the only way to bring about long term change.

There are better more deserving thought-leaders that people should read. Kaczynski is not one of them. His actions should really erase him from history rather than praise him.

You can't legally enter an intersection (advance past the stopping line if present) until you are clear to perform your transit of the intersection. Left on red is never legal and marginal on yellow.
The biggest advantage of electric flight is the maintenance interval. Electric engines need next to no maintenance.

Jet engines need to be maintained pretty much after every flight and that costs $$.
What about all those GPUs they've already made?
This comment is spot on. 100% of the reason for high housing costs is western governments’ limits on supply. People need a place to live, that’s the reality. If supply is artificially suppressed, prices will keep rising as long as old housing ages (and what can stop aging?) and population continues to grow.
> certainly not free to arrange getting the new device, swap, reconfigure, and hopefully you have HA to avoid downtime

Compared to migrating to a new vendor?
Yes that's right.

I think as the other commentator said that you would need to use signals to interrupt within between elements of a loop.

I try not interrupt a hot for loop or while true loop to reduce performance impact of an if statement in a loop.

register_loop(loops, 0, 1000000);
for (; loops[0].loop_variable < loops[0].limit ; loops[0].loop_variable++)
{
// Hot loop here
}

It's difficult from another thread to know where in the loop another thread is in.

Then from another thread

loops[0].loop_variable = loops[0].limit
Looking back through history, the abuses that happen behind closed doors always outweigh the negatives of transparency.

The inconvenience of being targeted by an illegal search warrant is nothing compared to what is going on right now. Political repression, killings, extreme corruption, and dictators want secret courts.
> I got annoyed that I was making content for YT for free

If anyone is interested, I run a PeerTube instance and am looking to add more people aside from just myself creating content on it.

Obviously the reach is not good currently because there is only myself on my instance but imagine what we could do together if a handful or a dozen or so people regularly crate content about tech, programming and/or music on this PeerTube instance. We could grow a nice community together I think.
Do people pretend that? Or is it just an HN circlejerk that reports it be so?

I'm a regular user of the Elm ecosystem, like the Slack/Discord, and everyone talks casually about Elm's bugs. In the #beginner channel it's just "Yeah oops that's def a known issue, but you can work around that with X."

It's just that Elm is still a good tool despite its warts, and its bugs aren't catastrophic. Presumably that's the smoking gun for your "this is fine" phenomenon: that people still use it and dare to even enjoy it despite unfixed bugs.
Thanks, I thought it was an odd quote.
> Apple's GPU performance is what makes me sceptical about their gaming related advertising.

The issue is that people compare games running under emulated x86 and emulated graphics APIs, when making claims about what the SOC is capable of.

There's nothing wrong with knowing how well the SOC performs when emulating games, but if you claim to be talking about what the SOC can do, then include the performance of native games as well.
To be fair, that is how commuter trains in the NYC metropolitan area work. The fares are higher during rush hour to discourage people who can shift their schedule from traveling during rush hour.

On one hand, he murdered a bunch of people and ruined a huge number of lives. On the other hand, wrote a mildly interesting manifesto that only attracted any sort of attention because it was published by The Washington Post in a desperate bid to figure out who he was so we could get him to stop murdering people. (Which worked, by the way.) So, y'know. Evens right out...

Interested in his ideas? Read better manifestos by people who gained notice for their words and ideas, not because they murdered a bunch of people. Maybe there were explanations for why he did what he did, but at the end of the day his was a wasted life that made the world a worse place.

Even if you buy support it is not comparable to AWS. I suffered GCP Dataflow support in the past it was:
1. slow
2. condescending
3. not helpful
Really don't recommend GCP for long term use. If you get some free credits it's good to use it to train some ML models but AWS is much more customer friendly.
Is it likely they will analyze the firmware on the ones that come back, then wipe them and resell them either thru a refurbisher or even put the new software on the known-good server and use elsewhere, such as in the datacenter where they have their SaaS offering?
Show HN: Yo.link – Subdomain based URL shortener
I was looking for a pet project to try out recent additions to https://vercel.com platform,
specifically their PostreSQL and Redis offering.
They also provide easy to setup wildcard subdomain HTTPS certificates,
and since I had yo.link domain lying around for a while, why not use it to create,
yes, yet another, URL shortening service, but with a twist...

Putting the user-selectable short-code in the subdomain has the advantage
that it is the first thing that users read in a URL,
and as such it is an opportunity to provide some contextual information about the link.

Here are some examples:

https://svelte4.yo.link --> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOXq89h8saI

https://hn.yo.link --> https://news.ycombinator.com/

https://longest-url-ever.yo.link --> https://llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogo...

I couldn't find any other shorteners that use this approach, hence wanted to build one.

Redis is great for counting realtime clicks, sliced by hour, day, month, country/city and user browser.
PostgreSQL is used as master DB to host the short-code destination-link mapping, and for user management.

I plan to add some extra features, like:
- tagging the links so it is easy to search and categorise.
- password protect the links.
- separate analytics for QR code visits.

Please let me know what you think.
Any ideas, suggestions or critic is very welcome.
If you are interested in collaborating on such a project, please let me know (support@yo.link)

> things actually do cost money to build and run.

how much does HN cost to keep running, again? didn’t Stack Overflow notoriously run on hardware not that different from what some passionate devs keep in their home?

the hardware is cheap enough that the BoM cost angle is debatable today and will only be less true over time. the other costs (time commitments) fall into well-known buckets: moderation, and development. Reddit, Discord, etc are already moderated by unpaid users. lots of open source development already happens without money or an expectation of any return on capital.

you’re sort of implicitly denying that bbforums and such could ever be a dominant mode of online community, despite that at one point they were. if community aggregators (Reddit) is what displaced many of those independently-run forums, then today’s federation is something of an attempt to force that role back open and allow independently-run forums an even playfield.
He was a complicated person and even in China people discuss his flaws. They see him similar to how we view George Washington.

Washington shaped the nation, but also massacred Native Americans and didn't free his slaves until after his death.

The Chinese see Mao as someone who gave them their pride back, but most of his socioeconomic policies were failures.

I'm not trying to do a "whataboutism" here, just trying to bring some perspective of how the average Chinese person thinks of Mao.
Yeah this isn’t beating Tesla to anything.

If you constrain a system to where it’s effectively useless and declare victory, that’s worse than trying to actually solve the problem and saying you’re not there yet.

It’s lowering the goal precipitously until you can achieve and then pretending you did it. Tesla has flaws, but this is a dumb article.

As far as I know he was able to correspond fairly freely, but all of mail was being read (which is standard practice for high-security prisoners I believe). In my other comment I linked to an author who corresponded with Kaczynski and wrote down his experiences: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36273216

He also published some books (Techno1ogica1 Slavery, Anti-tech Revolution), which is his manifesto with some additional essays and letters.

I only watched a minute, but the audio volume is too quiet. You could boost the gain but there’s static that detracts from the voice. A good mic will help with that, but you’ll also need to adjust the sound levels before uploading the video. Also, do I hear a very slight bit of music in the background? Either embrace the background music or remove it. Right now it’s just barely audible which is a little distracting.

You don’t have to spend hundreds on a mic. Even a $50 mic with a pop screen will help a lot (I got a $70 one with a boom arm from Amazon and it sounds amazing compared to standard headphone/laptop mics).
It is an email server. You can set up some kind of system that “catches” incoming email while you take your hardware offline and replace it. Your internal users won’t be able to send or receive emails but anyone outside the organization would be none the wiser that your system was down. If you notify ahead of time and can keep downtime to under an hour, will it matter?
The block feature IS going away. Let me fill you in on the entire story so far:

1. Elon introduces Twitter Blue $8 subscriptions and announces that when enough Blue subscribers block someone, the victim will be rank demoted for the entire site.

2. Twitter Blue rightwing subscribers start organizing block mobs attacking the left and generally people they don't like, hoping to in effect force Twitter to shadowban "enemy" accounts. It's working.

3. This forces potential victims to block Blue checks on sight, immediately, because otherwise they risk being blocked back, and rank demoted.

4. Elon complaining publicly that increased blocking activity is like DDoS on the timeline service.

5. Elon saying how blocking is not nice and he has removed all his blocks on his account, trying to influence his followers.

6. Elon testing the waters in this tweet that the block feature is going away, to see if there will be a backlash.

He wants to remove it. Everyone is blocking everyone due to the climate of Twitter these days, and all these poorly thought out ranking features Elon has forced on the platform.

I've also missed part of the story where at one point there were browser extensions "block the Blue" that were mass blocking anyone with a paid check. Elon banned accounts promoting such extensions directly. He was terrified of the aftermath on the social graph.

The timeline service now has to work twice as hard implementing these giant blocking lists. So now he wants blocking GONE.
There may be a meaningful difference between demosaicing and generative AI - actually there isn't because demosaicing/upscaling/image generation are all the same problem, but there might be one since people like to think of them as different.

There isn't a difference between auto white balance and generative AI though. The colors in an auto mode digital camera picture are not real.
Only those with “no products” want a pause.

I presume he means among producers of AI products. But factoring in others (like researchers, lawmakers, concerned citizens, me, Sarah Connor) you could flip that around to 'only those with products don't want a pause'. Which is a bit like meth producers not wanting to surrender their labs.

But something tells me Alex Karp isn't concerned about ethics.
I personally don't see these failing that you mention, far from it. Whatever you believe, this kind of propoganda claims stating your opinion as a fact, is very transparent, and just discredits your argument.

Yeah, there are downsides to old tech like this (hard to find developers, for one) but some of these old systems (especially the AS/400) seem to have an appliance-like operational profile that modern stacks make hard or impossible.
Which you would need anyway if you switch to hardware from a different vendor.

I’ve had the i9 MBP with the 5500m from launch and it was always hot and noisy fwiw. For most people just having a second monitor plugged in made the fans always run because of a voltage issue. I sincerely doubt Apple needs to intentionally make it any worse. I hate that laptop!

When you are one of the biggest “root” distributions, and the template of countless big and small time derivatives, you don’t have the luxury to have niche.

When thought with a clear and unbiased mind, Debian did the absolute best they can do.

Add firmware, be open about it, install only when necessary, allow people to opt out when they know what they are doing.
I think if it gets all the way to a computer model rendering, where the raw data input is in no way shaped like an image “yet”, the distinction between traditional and new-generative-model approaches sounds more like a difference in degree.
I dunno man, if it output those tracks with a smooth transition and some volume matching i think most game developers would call that a success.
You are being paranoid.

If nobody was talking about Christie, it's because 95% of what he did only impacted NJ. This is a spillover, because it happens to be related to a megacity doing something for the first time in North America.

But, beyond that, when people start running for president, people start talking about them. Criticisms or not. No one talked about Joe Biden doing anything from the start of the 2016 election until he announced in 2020, in spite of having been a major political player for decades.
Christie's buffoonery around transit[1] is a somewhat staid topic in NYC politics, and this is an article about NYC.

OpenZFS' integration of Zstandard uses LZ4 as a "compression canary" for higher ZStandard compression levels, where they feed the data blocks through LZ4 and if it compresses it enough, feeds it through Zstandard.

This relies on LZ4 being very fast, especially with it's early-exit on incompressible data.

Overall this turns out to be a win, you lose a little bit of compression at a huge decrease in CPU over just using the same Zstandard compression for all the blocks.

>For person like me that takes very light naps when sitting, 10 seconds is plenty to wake up and take control.

I'd argue that isn't remotely enough time to safely take control. You're betting your brain wakes up sufficiently in that time, and if it doesn't the consequences are potentially deadly.

>Also if I am using a tablet doing email or browsing or even playing games, 10 seconds is plenty of time to put the tablet away and grab the wheel.

That's a bit better from an alertness standpoint, but not from a situational awareness one. You're deprived of both context and situational awareness on the road.

Some key details extend far beyond a 10-15 seconds, such as: another car driving erratically, lanes ending, line of sight on pedestrians or cyclists visible prior that are now occluded by traffic. The list goes on.

Well, I would say that AIs ability to generate objectively correct text or correct code doesn't have much bearing on its ability to create worthwhile art, those are almost polar opposite goals. There is no objective metric for what constitutes good art that you can train an AI towards, the closest thing we've come up with is teaching it that the samples of art in the training set are "objectively correct" so that it will try to make something similar. Better models achive higher fidelity but are stuck forever imitating rather than exploring new or less common ideas.

Image generation is the most mature form of artistic generative AI, and the trend there has been towards introducing more human influence into the process to help guide the AI into creating something actually worthwhile. If the goal is to embed an unsupervised AI into a game engine and have it create consistently high quality and interesting music based on the current game state, with no human operator in the middle to curate and guide the process, we've got a hell of a long way to go.
Licensing ai use is like requiring a license from anyone using a pc. Pretty silly.
