Read his manifesto, they’re detailed. I was shocked for a straight week when I read it, I couldn’t believe I have been lied to my entire life. Or better yet his book Technological Slavery: https://archive.org/details/tk-Technological-Slavery
Perhaps, but many engineers have personalities that are in conflict with what you’re calling the spirit of engineering. Binary thinking is a too-common thing.

Coop and Migros have the biggest margins in Europe. Hardly the picture of competition.

Seems more like tacit collusion.
...yes? It's just an invoice. Determining exact rates are why sales teams and account managers etc exist. Reddit can trivially check app traffic levels. Seems a bog-standard API usage agreement to me.

The problem here hasn't been "reddit charges for API access"; it's the totally unreasonable pricing and switchover timeline.
I am not sure we have seen stories of "I intentionally didn't pay, and was surprised to lose my service".

It's in Google's best interest to maintain continued service for GCP customers since any disruption makes both the customer and Google look bad, regardless of who is at fault. Google likely cares very much about Twitter's users, while Twitter might care more about what services they can lose, potentially at the expense of their users.
People existed before we had proper sewage. Clearly sewage systems are not needed.
The map in the senate report comes from this paper:

https://www.mdpi.com/2220-9964/9/6/402

if I understand correctly it concludes that the cluster correlates with population density and a concentration of elderly population in that area.

Unfortunately that wasn't mentioned in the senate report (nor in the news article)
> We report experimental results which suggest that for face recognition the eyebrows may be at least as influential as the eyes. Specifically, we find that the absence of eyebrows in familiar faces leads to a very large and significant disruption in recognition performance. In fact, a significantly greater decrement in face recognition is observed in the absence of eyebrows than in the absence of eyes.
My life plan has in fact changed to living in the woods after I read his manifesto and his book Technological Slavery: https://archive.org/details/tk-Technological-Slavery.

I don’t think he had just some “good points”, I think he’s completely right on the matter that modern (post steam engine & guns) technology is harmful for human life.
Yes, vqsort does indeed resort to Heapsort after too many recursions. I'd be surprised if that happens on real data, though, because we apply a lot more effort to the pivot selection.
Would be curious to see any input distribution that triggers a fallback.
I really appreciate your personal experiences and how the availability of knowledge online changed your life. It did the same for me as well.
Immediately after the equipment stopped operating, MH-370 made a series of course changes.

It did a ~160 degree turn (at a very high angle of bank) and flew along the border between Malaysia/Thailand border (probably assuming that military RADAR operators in both countries would assume the flight belonged to the other country). Once passed Malaysia, it then turned north to avoid Indonesia and flew along the Strait of Malacca. [1]

It doesn't show up on RADAR again, but we know it later turned almost directly south after passing the northern tip of Indonesia.

This route comes across as so calculated with the explicit intent of going missing, that it's really hard to justify any scenario that doesn't start with the equipment being turned off intentionally and maliciously.

I now run NixOS, so that’s a non-issue for me.

But even so, it’s not hard, you have to install the ZFS package and make sure it’s included in your initramfs (if you use ZFS for / ).

On arch I used the linux-lts kernel with ZFS and never had any issues in three years.
Ask HN: How about a Reddit alternative where every community is a Git repo?
When I look at all the Reddit alternatives that come up, the problem seems to be that they all intermingle data structure, data storage, moderation, federation and frontend.

How about we build a Reddit alternative which just defines the data structure?

If each community is simply a directory, we could run such a thing as a git repo. Say we run the "aww" community with cute animal photos. Then the repo cold look like this:

A parrot singing a poem/
content
comments/
but can he sing a book?

Every line with a / is a directory, every line without a / is a text file.

This already would:

- Let everybody browse the content
For example via github, gitlab, codeberg etc.

- Let developers write content
Fork the repo, add a file, send a pull request

Then we could take it from there and build frontends on top of it.

What does everybody think?
> Don't let Youtube be the golden copy of your video.

The fact that so many people let another SINGLE company, who obviously doesn't serve the original file but their own transcodes, be the "golden copy" of their videos is baffling.
Soil builds up real fast. A few leaves here and there, some dust, a little water and boom: grass, bushes, flowers. All this in several weeks to months. I've seen it happen so many times because our streets aren't well maintained. 5cm soil on concrete, asphalt, rooftops, etc.

>Except GNU and OSI are in conflict?

Not at all. The various GPL licenses are OSI-approved. Though the GPL may restrict your ability to offer an open core version of the project.

I think what you're missing is that if a project is licensed under an open source license, you can dual license it--including only offering some components under the proprietary license, i.e. open core--but the existence of that dual license doesn't take away any of the rights associated with the open source license on the open source portion of the codebase.

But dual license doesn't mean that the use of an open source codebase can can be carved up into allowable uses under the open source license and allowable uses under a proprietary license.
What differentiates you from the grafana stack? Grafana labs now have solutions for every pillar of observability (metrics, logs, traces), and that whole stack also touts cheap ingest (due to minimal upfront indexing and cheap blob storage) as one of its biggest selling points.

A big chunk of this is in the compiler, which extracts the “template” of your components into its own component. That would break a lot of projects if it was somehow able to be upstreamed into react.

Samsung isn't really safe either. It is head quartered in South Korea with 2 really hostile neighbours. After Taiwan, South Korea could very well be China's next target.
1 and 2 are the scoping rules (since Python has no variable declarations [1], making all blocks scopes would be pretty awkward and require tons of "xy=None # reassigned later" and nonlocals), 3 should result in [2, 3, 4], not [].

Eh, I've been on the hunt for non-commercial websites for close to a decade. It's pretty barren out there. Three types of people have websites these days:

1) People trying to sell something: courses, books, their resume, etc.

2) People interested in blogging, who give up after less than a year due to lack of visibility (compared to Medium/Substack)

3) People who created their website in the 90s and saw no reason to stop.
This seems an overly complicated way to reach this conclusion. Should lunar microbes have existed, it's unlikely they would have preferentially targeted humans, or land animals, or macroscopic animals, or animals, or eukaryotes, etc. "Quarantine" was broken at the moment the hatch was opened, if not before.
They've done some bit with it. I personally don't own any but my coworker was ecstatic to find a black dress that had multiple useable pockets. Most pockets, if present at all, in women's clothing is comically unusable and sometimes just for cosmetic use only (as in "looks like a pocket but can't even put coins in it" - not "can put cosmetics in it").

I like the idea they have, but I wear other clothing that is sufficiently pocketed for my use... though these phones are getting big and pockets aren't always keeping up with them.
I love the explanation as to what 'really' happened.

>If Iraqi authorities had destroyed their WMD stocks and abandoned their programs, they might refuse to fully acknowledge this to the UN to maintain Iraq’s regional status, deterrence, and internal regime stability.

How about

> If the current US Administration needs to invade Iraq for their domestic political agenda and requires a narrative of existing WMD stockpiles. They will ignore any evidence that counters this, and even create a completely fictional narrative to justify the invasion.
> I am talking about people who say LLM can't reason in the near future and AI is a hype.

Some people like me are just pessimist. Lived long enough to see one snake oiled hype train after another go by.

To quote Morpheus from the Matrix, "Show me."

> A good example of falsifiable test is Turing test, which is no longer relevant. What I would like is for people to suggest better tests than Turing test which would prove that a version of AI is reasoning according to their definition.

Being able to perform predicate logic is falsifiable - as falsifiable as the Turing test at least.

We can create a Turing test for predicate logic that has the AI be ask questions (presented in plain English) that require predicate logic to solve. An evaluator (who understands predicate logic) will judge the performance of the AI. If the evaluator can't tell if it's a human or an AI answering the question, the AI passes.
As someone who has done both, they're very different skill sets. You do NOT grow from one to the other.

Just stop this nonsense.
Sounds like overkill, literally.

I mean, if every ton of CO2 emitted had to be offset by certificates for 1.1 tons of CO2, that were truly removed from the atmosphere, the climate problem would be solved over time and we could switch to 1:1 once we got the atmosphere back to pre-industrial levels. While this would surely reduce quality of living, I would be surprised if this meant that only 500k people per continent could survive. Surely, we could do better.

I wrote about how Record Patterns along with Pattern Matching for Switch can be used to write things like Tree-Rewrite rules in AST analyzers/program optimizers efficiently if anyone is curious:

This is how Spark's optimizer Catalyst works in Scala

Kind of wild to believe this is valid modern Java:

return switch (expr) {
// x + 0 = x
case Add(Var(var name), Const(var value)) when value == 0 -> new Var(name);

These two are my favorite new JDK features by miles, along with Sealed Types.
If one makes an analogy of this to gunshot victim and shooter scenario, it would show how absurd the government is.
They aren't discredited because they asked questions but because they don't understand existing evidence and because their "evidences" are either already debunked or were nonsense in the first place.

But they don't stop, you have to repeat they same things over and over again.Live, Die, Repeat.

And some point everybody has enough.

They found no evidence for a fake moon landing, no evidence for 9/11 being an inside job, but they found evidence the US lied about WMD.

When people post illegal content how do you quickly scrub it from the git history? Would there be risk of corrupting the repo if many moderators are simultaneously scrubbing contents? Would this cause some type of lock contention or perhaps CPU load issues? I ask because I have ran into corruption issues with git enough times that I always use rsnapshot to create file/inode level snapshots of them. Would you use different branches or repos per sub-forum?

I think this would need to be load tested and I suspect it would not scale as well as using a some form of a database for the metadata that just links to file storage.
A small website means something that is a one-person operation and personal in nature. Only on HN could that be interpreted to mean 'smallest possible file size'.

If I would summarize the majority of this article it is:

The Go libraries are not working as I was expecting and I can't figure out how to treat JSON data as data because of the type system.

Also, "entire JavaScript ecosystem is garbage ".

> we regularly ran into issues with basic product functionality that made me start to question how Elastic is successful at all.

I would have liked to hear more about those, not about the inability of the author to deal with JSON.
> it would be a very closely guarded secret and obviously they would never admit to a lab leak

A complicating factor is that some (much?) of the funding came from the US. Which means admitting to a leak is against the interest of not only Chinese but also the US government which would have a hell of a time explaining to taxpayers how pandemic was engineered on their money doing research banned in the US. (Though I don't think US government played any part in resisting the research tbh, CCP probably did all that at their accord.)

I think all in all we shouldn't give up, and even if we don't find the actual data I don't see the world can be okay without big fat follow up over not some lab making a mistake (humans make those) but all obstruction of research into the origins of what could have been an extinction level event if the virus was a bit better engineered, whether it came from Chinese communist party or US scientists scared for grant money.
Hanlon's handgun: don't attribute stupidity to what can be adequately explained with systemic incentives promoting malice. It applies here. Stupidity is extremely unlikely.
All you did was use a bunch of words to revise their statement to "when you don't report a hack, the government can hack you at will."
> Humans brought the virus to the market. It's screamingly obvious and always has been.

Well of course, the racoon dogs et al all come in via human transport.

Testing infrastructure was poor, and maybe it still is. Chinese government interest was not in finding facts, but in taking action to 'solve the problem'. It's hard to find facts when the people with power just want the problem to go away. IMHO, that doesn't weigh in favor of either explaination. The wuhan local government and the chinese national government would have likely taken the same actions regardless of the source, because they're both not very interested in facts.

US health authorities pushing on the market theory are just doing their typical behavior of taking what little information is available and pushing it with no nuance. I enjoyed seeing the cdc stickers telling me not to use a mask out in public areas when the cdc was requiring them; the congitive dissonance was so palpable.
These Reddit-like comment sections with public vote counters highly incentivize this type of thing. I don't even know why HN has a voting system? I think sorting comment threads by number of replies would be more useful. Vote counters only make sense when you have a massive amount of comments to sort through, which really only happens on posts about Apple afaik. However, those comment threads tend to be filled with useless arguing anyways.

Would people stop using this site if it stopped offering dopamine hits in the form of a number next to your name?
There is a perverse incentive in vertical farming. There is no logical reason to farm indoors while the land outdoors is still arable. This means any form of pollution that makes land less arable increases the relative profitability of vertical farming. Accelerated desertification is good for your business because then you can collect solar energy or wind energy there with little resistance.

My expectation is that if this technology was widely deployed in the Sahara, any afforestation attempts would be cut short because they step on the toes of the vertical farming guys.
I would guess that lot of slowness in payments with many companies is deliberate and it comes from quite high levels. Keeping cash in your own hands will generate marginal amount of return.

Now doing this with existential services you buy from providers that might actually take action and losing you isn't big thing is however not something anyone does.
I would also say that being an engineer at L8 is a meaningfully different set of skills than L7. The whole ‘what got you here won’t get you there idea’ starts at L7 for either track…

In practice, all matrices are diagonalizable, because the set of non-diagonalizable matrices is very small. Concretely, a random matrix is almost surely diagonalizable (ie. with probability 1).
Yeah I'm not convinced. As usual with most pro-ChatGPT posts I see, there is little to no actual useful information on how to use ChatGPT practically.

When I read one of these articles or posts, I usually expect to see concrete prompts, their output, and how they can be used to speed up development. Instead all I see is generic vagueisms; "it helps me write unit tests", "it helps me code faster", or in the case of this article "it’s taken over how I plan, design, and implement software." with little to no real examples of how this works. It almost feels like people want to brag that they've discovered "the secret sauce" rather than help others understand how to use it.

I've tried multiple times now to use ChatGPT. In every case ChatGPT has produced code that has bugs, needs to be double checked, or simply straight up doesn't work. It IS impressive how it's able to create code that seemingly does what you ask, and it's lightyears ahead of other products, but in no way have I found it to be a gamechanger. IMHO, at best it might steer me in the right direction, and at worst it completely wastes my time. Seems pretty overhyped to me.
