That is good right? Watch the PART 2: https://plandemicseries.com/ (Event 201)

Putin captured media headlines. Speaking of Putin, Russia is probably the only country that benefits from melting Arctic - opening Northwest Passage - figured it out after debating with a bunch of climate change deniers on Twitter.

(I enjoy debating, I had fun doing it, at some point they were quitting, if they were like me they would continue debating)

In all seriousness, I'm working on Metacrisis - a new term reaching mainstream consciousness:

— Runaway climate change + food system + global hunger

— Economic inequality + compound interest + exponential growth on finite planet

— Nuclear proliferation + pandemics + lost trust in media + lost trust in government

— Regulation of AI + polarisation and engagement metrics + mental health

Problem well defined is problem half solved
We are at a pivotal moment in the development of A.I. What began as a fun way to generate beautiful images and engage in entertaining conversations with hallucinating chatbots has ballooned in potential in mere months, resulting in a technology so powerful that we are now terrified of the impact it could have. So, while we continue down a capitalist path of throwing endless resources at the development of these humanlike systems at breakneck speeds, basically guaranteeing our own demise, we are also taking a moment to write, sign, and publish this very important letter that will hopefully absolve us of any responsibility for our own actions, while simultaneously allowing us to say, “It’s the government’s fault,” “I told you so,” and “¯\_(ツ)_/¯.”
I have looked at or tried all of them, except Reason, about 1 year ago.
Purescript has (had?) the best tutorial: Purescript by Example. I guess it's also suitable for somebody, who doesn't know Haskell's way of doing things:
https://book.purescript.org/chapter1.html
https://github.com/purescript-contrib/purescript-book

In order of time programming in each language:

Elm: no, because of the JS interop (didn't even try it).

Clojurescript: really slow REPL, uses Google's closure compiler which had it's own problems (I don't remember what these were, but something with modules). Both Emacs and VS Code (Cider/Calva) did have to many small errors and inconveniences using CS. All in all it had been an unpleasant experience.

ReScript: The language itself is OK-ish (I would have preferred OCaml syntax), the compiler is fast as OCaml. The generated JS is really readable. One year ago there had been no async and the documentation had been missing stuff like functors (I've "found" them at the Rescript forum). But in the end it didn't have enough advantages over TS to cancel out TS' _way_ better developer tools/integration or even Purescript, but this may have changed in the last year (async has been added and functors are now documented, as I've just seen). On the other hand, I would nowadays use Melange instead, I don't see any reason[what a pun!] to use Rescript any more.

PureScript: It is a better (strict) Haskell (with less features). I've used (non-hook) Halogen, I don't know about the React bindings. I had never made an web app (progressive or not) before, so I had to learn everything starting at 0.
This has been the result, which has been a quite smooth experience:

I have been off Reddit for almost a year, it’s too addictive. The thing that worked for me was the iOS ScreenTime feature with a thrown away PIN.
This is also heavily inspired the name for this project.
I suggest decluttering main view. Hide all tags or make them visually hidden (e.g. grey on white, no outlines etc.), also make a headline at the top, and all the service metadata like date, comment counter, author name at the bottom and to the side.
Also as a nice to have next improvements make actual fixed categories/subreddits/subforums thing. Because used based tags doesn't work at all at scale. At best they are a secondary thing helping in search and used by 0.1% of all users. Categories should be more fixed, maybe initially user created but not changing (existing ones).

Otherwise you will get an endless scroll of doom/memes page with everything dumped there, and we already have tons of networks in such format - facebook, twitter etc.

entirely from Florida Man memes.

How's that saying go? When you assume you make an ass out of you? Yeah. I've been to Florida. As far north as Jacksonville and as far south as Key West. It's almost as if you're trying to ignore the litany of hate groups that are festering in Florida because it doesn't fit your narrative.

But, here, have a couple more sources on the vile gerrymandering. Even the courts have pointed out how racist the desantis redistricting was. But, sure, hang your hat on your fear of the Guardian.

What are you saying? It has nothing to do with what I wrote. Please remain constructive - and respond to what I actually wrote, not to imagined slights. Thank you. And the "hand wave" is what you are doing - read what I wrote, it is normal to have many such things coincide in timing. Timing alone is not proof of anything, since it is completely normal and expected with a constant stream of new disease. You have to show a (statistically) significant rise in numbers - as a first step, that alone still would not be proof either. Others have pointed that out too.

Given the scale of both normal disease occurrence and of the vaccination campaign, it is expected and normal for a very large number of people to get sick after vaccination - simply due to chance.

If you read into that purely statistical statement a claim of vaccinations not having any side effects than you need to read what I wrote, not what you think I wrote. One has nothing to do with the other, and I'm only addressing the one thing. Of course you can have problems due to vaccination, but you can not "hand-wave" any single random event into that category, especially when it's obvious you fail to even consider the large amount of "normally sick" cases that are bound to happen simply by random chance of them occurring all the time either way.
A nice exercise in you thinking the whole world is only what you see for yourself. Here are the actual demographics:

Age: 18-34
Gender: ~70% male, ~30% female
Location: United States (47%), United Kingdom (7%), Canada (6%), Australia (4%), Germany (4%)
Interests: Japanese culture, anime, manga, video games, comics, technology, music, movies
Education: Majority attended or currently enrolled in college

> Teetering between hyperinflation and deflationary collapse sounds like a long winded, alarmist way to say “in pretty good shape.”

No it's actually a less alarming way to say "we're at a point where the economy could collapse overnight (not exaggerating here, I quite literally mean it would take one night where very feasible events occur) and almost has on multiple occasions in the past 3 years"

>But it’s pretty hard to say what’s wrong exactly?

No it's not hard actually. Real inflation is still extremely high despite very high interest rates and despite job losses, consumer debt is insanely high, several banks have collapsed, the economies of several countries have collapsed, there is a growing anti-US economic block and monetary velocity is running off a cliff in an uncontrolled manner.
Also notably that onion article was published over 10 years ago in 2013.

Why is the "noble"ness of his actions relevant?
I'm blaming it on a lack of originality that everyone's been working on a Reddit-like system for the last 2-4 years. But the real kicker is everyone announcing theirs today, with how many years they've been working on it in the subject.

Ask HN: How do you craft software exactly?
I'm curious to know if you're interested in creating something unique, like a personal project, freelance work, or even architectural designs.

When you're faced with these tasks, how do you decide which tools and programming languages to use? Do you prefer to write code or use no-code solutions? And how do you go about researching and evaluating open-source projects?

Essentially, I believe that finding the best solutions with the current technologies available is an engineering process in itself. I'd like to learn more about how to approach this effectively.

I'm hoping there's a PDF or book called "The Missing Engineering of Crafting Software" that can provide some guidance.

Before jumping into solutions, it's important to take a moment to think things through and ensure that the solution you create is reliable.

Let's say recently I created one personal project but without thinking I just directly jump into code and used nest.js as backend to create APIs but later I found out it doesn't even needed If I have used something like strapi no code solution with authentication as well which would be even easy.

Thank you.
And what about video recommendations? my youtube just dumbing down the choice and pushes me to see the same things. It just literally blocking the ability to see something else by reducing categories to choose from. The feeling is that you should fight to see something new outside the bubble and chances to win this fight are minimal. YT just feed you the same shit and insist on it. How idiotic is that.

I just open the first page . Scroll it to the end and there is nothing interesting to see but you can’t scroll more. I think that is the essence of their ‘great’ optimisation.

My feeling is that if you're the sort of org who will update the Python version you use, you're going to be switched-on enough to handle this somehow. From the sounds of things it it's a bit of an inconvenience for you that you'd understandably rather not have, but you have it under control. I don't personally use any of these "dead" batteries though, so I can't speak with any authority on the matter
>Which is why I suggested a hub and spoke system, where the ends of a spoke services several thousand square miles.

Do you really think people are going to pay ~$200 each way to commute to the city every day? Because that's the kind of ticket price you can expect with HSR. Train systems like that are not cheap to run. They work great here in Japan for traveling between cities, where they're competing with airplanes, but the tickets are not as cheap as you seem to think. Your idea means far more miles of track to build and maintain.

>In fact, reviving the economically struggling rural areas necessitates increasing population density and economic activity. And that's a good thing.

Why? Just because you like those places? If they were economically viable, they wouldn't need all this help. And if you increase the population density, suddenly it's no longer "rural" but is now a "city", which is exactly what most of the people there don't want, or else they would have moved to a city.
I think there are several reasons.

Firstly, nVidia has been at it much longer. Just because of this tools on nVidia side feel easier to set up / are more polished (at least that was my feeling when fiddling with ROCm like a year ago).

Second but still related to #1, from the beginning even consumers nVidia cards were able to run CUDA and this made so that hobbyist and prosumers/researchers on a budget bought nVidia cards compounding even further the time/tooling advantage nVidia had. I.e. a huge user base of not only gamers but people that use their cards to do other things than gaming and know that things work on these cards.

These are, IMHO, the main reasons why everyone targets CUDA and explain why frameworks like Tensorflow or Pytorch targeted it as a first class citizen.
"One doesn't realize in early life that the price of freedom is loneliness. To be happy one must be tied." ~ CS Lewis

I don't know the context of the quote and I know next to nothing about CS Lewis, but having blown my life up at one point and experienced freedom on a level few on this planet could achieve (health, money, time, and will) the quote rang very true for me.

I think some people grow up in a community and are rooted within that community, but those people are also subject to that community and there is no guarantee that that "community that surrounds you with love" is a good community.

"Always be surrounded by love..." unless you are gay. Gay, trans, atheist, feminist, brown, an opioid addict, a questioner of authority, or otherwise different.
It could be. But there's quite a bit of momentum behind CUDA. Plus, CUDA is just wicked fast. I wrote a WebGPU version of LLaMA inference and there's still a bit of a gap in performance between WebGPU and CUDA. Admittedly, WebGPU can't access tensor cores and I undoubtedly need to optimize further.
I’ve always assumed it’s mostly fake, like damn near everything else. Is there any hard, actual proof that he actually gives away what he says he does? There doesn’t seem to be any reason to actual give away the money if you can so easily fake it and still get the views. It’s kind of a known YouTube scam, and I just figured MrBeast was the biggest.
No, he came up with a model that glorifies himself to the max (by helping people.) There is a gigantic difference. I cannot imagine respecting that.

There are so many people out there who deeply deserve your respect and yet this guy is the one with your attention - because vainglorious self-promotion is his mantra and his mission. Go read about any of the countless people out there making serious, meaningful contributions without pasting a photo of their face and bio links over everything they do. Oh, I guess it'll be a bit harder to find them. Easier to just keep watching Mr. Beast and pondering how much respect his brilliant business model deserves.
Agreed. It's way more efficient to sell $10,000 cabinets named "Julia" on Wayfair.
I'm looking for the paper called something like "TLDR Bourdieu Goffman Webber: How Social system of fame, status, reputation work?" ;-)

Login is itself an XML command so in theory that could also be hacked.

Like @silisili said most of the registry operators require client certs and ips to go with the usernames but it is very possible that they are only checking that after getting a login.

Ask HN: OK to fork an open source repo and make a product to sell(SaaS)
I have had a few successful contributions to an Apache 2.0 licensed software package.

This package is developed as open source but offered as an enterprise SaaS offering.

Now, the founders, being of European origin - have different ideas on development/design. And I don’t like it. But I want to work on that product and release my own offering, after forking their codebase - which I have already done.

I know Apache 2.0 is a permissive license. I am wondering if I’ll get into legal trouble later when I float my own company. I will use some of their code although I’ll make major changes.

I want to play it safe and avoid legal battles over copyright.
Yeah I'm sure we need mass censorship of billions or else genocide. This is definitely not a false dichotomy designed to be emotionally charged and shocking.
Right - I don't think kids understand the philanthropy angle, what they understand is the lottery angle. People randomly getting $10,000 (or $1,000, or $50,000) just for being a bystander in a video.
I was once approached by a company located in a major city in Ohio. They were pitching me to come work for them but the role required getting clearance to do the work, because they were contracting for the federal government.

Without said clearance, all they could tell me was they scraped the open internet and built profiles on citizens, and then would surface this info in an easily searchable interface. I declined getting clearance and going deeper than that.

If some random ass company in Cleveland is doing contract work equivalent to the things Snowden exposed, it’s happening everywhere else, and nobody has a damn clue. This was after Snowden exposed Prism.

We’re fucked.
> Everything what's been said about Reddit applies to HN as well.

Reddit is clearly going for near term profitability with the recent API changes they're making, likely in light of their looming IPO. The recent layoffs they've announced further suggest they're chasing short term profits. I doubt HN has a similar motive that would inspire similar changes.
I mean sure, "Apple is bad", but they don't exactly make it a secret that they will crucify you if they find that you go around their payment rules. Why would you develop such an app, if you disagree with these policies?

We have a pretty good idea of how commerce worked before widespread legal trademark protections, and you're dead wrong about it. Trademarks are much older than trademark law. Before they were protected in law, they were usually made very intricate in the hopes that other craftsmen would not be able to reproduce them, kind of like a signature.

And the reason is also self-evident: it is very hard if not impossible to assess all of the relevant capabilities of a manufactured product just on an quick inspection. Even if you were able to do so for one category of product, you'll not be an expert in every category. As such, the only way to know the true quality of products you are buying is to rely on the reputation of the one crafting them, and the branding of the products is used to establish the chain of trust (this shoe has such-and-such craftsman's mark, so I know its a quality shoe because I've bought other shoes from them in the past and they lasted two decades).

Even if you had very strong laws to prevent false advertising of features, it's extremely cost-prohibitive to establish build quality objectively without relying on the reputation of the maker. How would that even look? What would you expect to see on a non-branded shirt to tell you whether it's a good quality weave or a poor one? Whether the color is strongly bonded to the fabric or it will wash off? Whether the seams are sturdy or prone to breaking?

I already agree with Molly, but I'm getting to learn a few things that are going on while enjoying her rant. She's not trying to persuade any crypto-fans, she's just expressing her exasperation.
I run Fallout 3 on modern variants of Linux with Valve's Proton (a WINE fork) using "Heroic Game Launcher" (an Epic game store front-end) just fine as well. Because it's running fine in Proton, I assume if I owned the game on Steam, the same would hold true there for me as well.
If you are going to 'leave' the platform, do not take just one day. Delete your entire account forever.

Staying on the platform just prolongs the addiction and replacing it with another social network is not the solution.
A bit hyperbolic in their narration. I think the ones here talking about how addictive it was and how you keep reaching for it bring more to the table.

I deleted my account and removed it from Firefox's quick link. I also uninstalled Instagram and Facebook to not replace it with mindless scrolling.

And here I am, visiting other pages a bit too much.

I guess it'll take some time to disconnect completely from it and replace it with something useful.

<3 BBEdit - it's become a bit outdated in terms of UI/UX and features, but it's still my daily driver for anything plain text. Its Regex search & replace still rules over a lot of other GUI editors. I've pretty much upgraded to each new version since my first boxed copy about 25 years ago. Back then BBEdit was quite the powerhouse for HTML development, and it helped me finish a lot of projects.

Very happy to see Apple paying recognition!
I've been here for a few years and never got the impression that this was a rationalist, both-sides kind of site. People submit interesting articles, not fair and balanced coverage of some political debate.

From the submission guidelines:

"Anything that good hackers would find interesting. [...] anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.

Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, or celebrities [...] If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic."

I agree with what you typed there, even though based on the rest of the context, it's probably not what you meant to type.
Well I think there are 2 types right ? Tensor cores (which afaik AMD dont have) which are better for matrix ops, and CUDO which are better for general parallel ops.

Apache 2 says that you can do what you like with the code providing attrbution etc is done correctly.

It's why I release most of my stuff under Apache 2: to give people freedom to use it how they want even if I may not approve.

Make sure that all the stuff you want to use is (a) actually Apache licensed and (b) actually theirs to license in the first place.
