I usually find all my best tools and updates here in the most simplest format, they don't do none of this newsletter jargon having you sieving around for the tools you need, this email update gets straight to the point. I also use platforms like futurepedia and futuretools when on my hunt - but for the best UI when it comes to looking for tools I like to use these lot.
> we’d get new computer languages about every generation.

> accumulated complexity we’ve piled on top of bad foundations

OTOH when we get new computer languages, they usually start really simple as a sort of protest against the "old" complexity and then spend the next few decades shoehorning back in all the things they left out to keep it simple but that it turns out we actually needed.
Why has everyone around here been writing a reddit-like platform for years? And aren't there a ton of those already? I used ieddit for a while (wow, correction) it still seems to be alive, www.ieddit.com.
Reddit seems to be dying for me for completely different reasons. Meme dependency for lack of a better word. Not the images with one liners though there are an annoying amount of those as well, but a standardized repetitiveness of responses to any input that tend to linger toward the top of the thread if sorted by best. This is much more prevalent in threads off r/popular or r/all than smaller subreddits, but as an example, any rape or sexual assault story on r/news or r/politics will always have the Brock Turner SEO peppering within the top five threads, sometime multiple. Any Trump thread will have the long, long list of misdeeds with links and then some one liners that the wording has become standardized. This then extends in to related subreddits where the meme pops up when the triggering subject is talked about.

It just becomes so boring and predictable.
But but they have a privacy policy. (Same people lose it when you even mention a similar service from Russia or China)
Very true! But even then, the dynamic is a bit different. Reply-links on a post that's an obvious joke are analogous to upvotes, but reply-links on a politically controversial topic could be anything, though most likely disagreements. Plus the absolute number is going to be orders of magnitudes smaller than likes.

But I do agree it's contributed to bait posts a lot, yeah. Interesting to see the impact of such a seemingly small UX change.
And WeWork's CFO has also resigned.

https://www.reuters.com/business/wework-cfo-resign-filing-20...
I am happy to be completely Amazon-free (apart from using web services hosted on AWS). I can’t express in strong enough terms how much of a privacy nightmare and how utterly invasive Echo devices are.
Greedflation, copying what other companies do and preparing for expected new supply chain problems all contribute to profit-price spirals.
There was a time when it was incredibly obvious to virtually everyone in the country that if you start throwing the Bill of Rights away, this is the result.
> Deleting it will not help since it'll get recreated by the next command that needs it. Empty it instead.

Interesting. Are you sure about this? The Wiki says it can be deleted and I did not see it coming back during my time with openSUSE. I can check it again later though.
Show HN: Visualize and optimize your PyTorch models on Cellulose
Hey HN! I've been working on Cellulose for a couple weeks now, and today we're happy to announce PyTorch model support (via ONNX export) on our platform.

Cellulose allows machine learning engineers understand, fine tune, and improve the inference performance of their models. With Cellulose, they can resolve these issues in just hours, not weeks.

Feel free to give it a try and leave any questions you have down on this thread or shoot us an email at support@cellulose.ai. Cheers!
The problem with this strategy is that it gives reddit a valid excuse to remove subreddit mods.

Having your sub be unmoderated is against reddit TOS, whereas taking a sub private is not yet against the official TOS.

Process and technicalities like this matter a lot and can effect a platforms actions.
The marketing page is not readable on mobile either.
Yes, that's true but like you say most societies try to socialize some of that burden. There seem to be no such socialization in this case.

> Some people can generate positive and negative value through different periods of their lives. Kids < 16 years of age are typically consumers of value. So are seniors of 80+ years

I understand that, which is why I specified "permanent". In this case, women are permanent burdens regardless of how old they are. That's the fucked up bit.
It would decrease their bandwidth use, especially uploads. Much more efficient.
In theory, the data was provided willingly when collected.

If you rent a locker, and the terms of the rental agreement say that the person you're renting from has access to the locker for any reason, then the cops do not need a warrant to ask the lessor to open the locker, only a warrant to coerce the lessor to open the locker.

If the lessor is willing to let anybody take a picture of what is in the locker for $5, then the government doing so isn't abusing its special privilege.

In practice, most people do not understand the ramifications of the things they agreed to that put this data out there (if they even read it!) and in many cases did not have reasonable alternatives to the services that they signed up for.
It's a gimmick to attract younger people to the church and seem less antiquated. We have heavy membership losses in both the Catholic and Protestant denominations for many years now, and most people who still actively attend church are on average very old.
This is possible with anything, though. If your verification code trusts the input, that's bad. That's not a structural weakness of the JWT format.
I'm comparing to the graphics of games such as God of War, Outer Worlds, Death Stranding, Cyberpunk 2077. Maybe not the latest or the best graphics but what I'm familiar with. I don't think people complain that those graphics are horrible.
The line about the Meta/Google ad duopoly fading is false.

The graph in the link just depicts the growth of TikTok, a one time event.

Not even the same market, since they offer largely non-substitutable vertical video ads.

Whole piece is rather casually misleading.
> Well, the problem is that the more hardened a system is, the more of a pain in the butt the system is to use.

That may be true for Linux, but I think macOS proves that it can be done.
Yeah, I joke with my daughters that I have EIGHT followers, and my financial windfall is just around the corner.

I used to do quite a bit of photog and even majored in visarts, but lost interest until recently. Nice to have something simple like daily posting reinvigorate an old interest. It's like writers who have to write every day. After a while you get decent at it.
At the time it was puzzling to me why Trudeau was so submissive regarding China. He bowed down to the CCP and wasn't able to secure the `Two Michaels` release. In retrospect, that might have been because of the double allegiances the Trudeau cabinet held toward China [0] [1].

He did a great job for Boeing's shareholders (me included) and the CCP. Just, not for the Canadian public it seems!

Discord is the same
I think about the fragility of heroic personas a lot. During the peak of the 2020 protests and riots, there was a spate of statue toppling that, on their face, seemed excessive. Like various Confederate leaders, sure. But George Washington? Thomas Jefferson?

But it turns out that George Washington owned a lot of slaves. Jefferson has a very complicated and questionable history with slavery in particular. I learned a bit about Robert E. Lee's history of slave ownership, and it's directly at odds with what I was taught in school. Its worth investigating if you've time.

I eventually landed on this idea that there are specific acts that we should encourage our children to emulate, but there is no entire person that any children should aspire to emulate. Oskar Schindler, we should recall, was a member of the Nazi Party (and, I'm surprised to learn from wikipedia, was employed by the Nazi intelligence organization, and was convicted of spying on Czechoslovakia for the Nazis, prior to the German occupation).

I am troubled by the idea that we should always forgive and forget, as it were, the things that get people canceled today. Yes, people change, and a questionable tweet by an 18 year old should not dog them in perpetuity until the end of their life. But on the other hand, I feel like we should not grant blanket pardon for people who have not sought to redress their own sins, and sincerely apologized. E.g. Donald Trump's past is littered with exceptionally bad behavior, and it seems he never expresses contrition, but always asks that the public set aside that bad behavior.
It is, but that is the topic at hand:

> Signatures should really just be applied to whole files or data structures, everything else should be considered dangerous
I went to a dozen countries last year in Europe. It was relatively easy to talk to strangers in a lot of contexts - not just bars. Even in places like Poland I was being chatted up.

To be clear, I don't think I'm even a very approachable person nor am I good looking or appear rich or anything of the sort. There's just way less stranger danger outside of the US - AFAICT.
Gout strongly associated w reduced gray matter andmore neurodegenerative disease
This is more indicative of people just searching about reddit, possibly to figure out why the site they normally use is having issues.
there is probably a close correlation between price / safety. Minibuses seem often to be the least expensive option, so perhaps mostly used by those who have least money. I'm going to guess they don't attract vagrants in the same way a train or bus might do - perhaps something to do with the small size of the vehicle / inevitable proximity with other passengers and / or motivated gate keeping by the driver-manager
NYC food delivery gig workers score a big minimum wage victory
Fortunately I've been getting by on consulting work - but it's really been getting to me lately.
The "something else" was that this person was trying to be difficult and make a statement rather than just putting his actual pronouns.
Something you have to keep in mind is that there are two parallel markets over there: SV caliber developers and the rest. The former won't have any issue getting a job in the US (takes maybe a week for a talented engineer to get one). Therefore, comp has to be priced appropriately. The later can't -and likely won't ever be able to- secure a US visa, mostly due to skills. A lot of them are immigrants to Canada themselves (there's a reason they immigrated to Canada, it's way easier and the quotas are close to 10x per capita compared to the US). Some companies leverage this and have floors of international devs they park in Canada for a fraction of their US counterpart through a subsidiary.
Metabolism is remarkably stable (relative to popular belief) after your teenage years and until you approach 60. The myth of fast-slowing metabolism in your 30s can be damaging. It reduces people’s sense that they can reverse their weight gain, because “it’s my metabolism lol.”

That being said, if you were legitimately muscular in your 20s and lost most of your muscle as you got older/married/had kids, that can reduce your caloric needs and make it seem like your baseline metabolism is changing more than it is.
This kind of thing is what kept me off of Reddit all these years. People would say "you just need to find the right subs", but any of the ones in topics I was interested in were all like that, and I was never interested in using Reddit just to use Reddit. Reddit is what Reddit is, and there is no finding "the right sub" if that metaculture is what you don't like about it.
Meanwhile feigning fear and going "where is it?!?!? where's the bear?!?!?" after the GPS says "Bear right" will never get old (no matter what my children's eye rolls might be trying to say).
Yes I'm sure, since I went through the same process of discovering it myself some months ago. I just tested it again to be sure.

It's also covered in https://forums.opensuse.org/t/zypper-uuid/135752
I think I was mainly upset that it was using a bunch of upstream bandwidth (if I remember right, it kept going while idle), possibly also didn't like the disk space that it was using for caching. Nothing important. Arguably a web application is more secure, since it can't read my disk, but that wasn't my concern.

At this point, I prefer the UI of the web app (I tried switching back), and since it is a PWA, it behaves like a normal application.
If he changed his views and then edited his book to only show his new viewpoint then absolutely yes.

If he edited his book to rebut his own argument and lays out the case then maybe not but it should be stated in the forward that the change was made.

We are moving forward into a time where media is only digital and can be changed at will, it is important to establish a system where when we make changes we record them and also why we made the changes.

If we do not, the only future is one where information is as ethereal as the morning dew and subject to the zeitgeist of the times.
The most accessible places tend to become cesspools since being anti-social is one of the main traits that limits people's access to more exclusive places.
On one hand I know that this is true. We have to guard against special pleading that allows oppression of those we disagree with because that inevitably leads to our own oppression sooner or later.

On the other hand I understand what the post you're replying to is saying, even if it's not said extremely well. There is an enormous online narrative with a lot of money and power behind it trying to normalize the most violent and anti-democratic parts of the right wing of American politics and using that to drive views, clicks, and votes.

I'm normally not someone to clutch pearls and will be the first one to acknowledge that the vast majority of Americans are just decent enough people trying to figure out how to keep fed, healthy, and safe. But the tendency toward fascism in the human animal is something we need vigilance against, as demonstrated over and over again in human history.

The people who attempted to violently attack the seat of democratically elected power in this country were not protestors. There were protestors outside, but the people who crossed the line to breaking and entering, assault, and terrorism were not protestors.
I’m sure Facebook could too (their disaster recovery planning and drills were always top notch) but I’m glad I won’t be oncall if it ever happens :-D
All true, but there's a vast difference is in the degree of control.

So say a SL avatar maker spends 40 hours making an avatar. At say $10/hour they'd like to make at least $400 to make it worthwhile. So if we sell at $5/each that's 80 copies to be sold. (just making up some plausible numbers here)

Here's how things square up:

SL: Buying stuff is the normal, encouraged mechanism with a well integrated marketplace and currency system.

Ripping an avatar requires additional tools. Ripping an avatar may be fairly difficult due to baked textures.

If found, you may be banned and lose everything on your account. Some things you own may not be replaceable. If you distribute your ripped avatar, LL could conceivably trace its movements and remove it from the inventories of anyone you gave a copy to. All in all, a considerable amount of pain you can get into for saving yourself $5. Most people wouldn't use a ripped avatar out of fear of endangering their account.

So, it's certainly not perfect, but on SL things are very manageable. If LL cares, misbehavior can be punished to the point it's not worth the risk to anyone who actually has anything invested into SL.

HiFi: There is a marketplace, but obtaining the HFC currency is bizarrely painful, requiring obtaining Ethereum, setting up an in-world meeting with a company representative, and exchanging ETH for HFC. Seriously, that's how it worked.

Ripping an avatar is trivial with basic knowledge of the scripting system. The actual avatar is stored on a completely normal HTTP server you can get it from with wget or a web browser. It's in GLTF or FBX.

If found, sure, HiFi can ban your account, but you don't need one. You don't really have an inventory or anything to lose. There's no grid, you're able to visit every part of the universe you're not specifically banned from. You can trivially host your copy of the avatar on any hosting service. You can share it with anyone and the system can't prevent it in any way.

It's possible the avatar maker couldn't even sue you easily if they wanted, because you can just keep using non-official servers hosted in some place that doesn't care about US law like Russia.

It's very much possible for a ripped avatar to spread far and wide with it being nigh impossible to stop. There's no real central authority, so it's pretty much your word against theirs.
Nothing screams quality like a big warning saying the product shouldn’t be relied on for more than 3 years. Why should i buy one of these low quality drives that only lasts 3 years?
Actually, archeological evidence shows that even in extremely harsh environments, many early humans took care of people who were unable to work.

From the article linked below:

"...an idea of what it must have taken to keep Burial 9 alive. Paralyzed from the waist down and with severely limited arm and neck movement, he depended on others to provide food and water, clean him and move him to prevent pressure sores. 'From the bones alone, we can say this person lived with a disease that required help from others to survive,'...

The people who took care of Burial 9, for example, scratched out a precarious existence using stone tools to fish and raise pigs in prehistoric Vietnam. Signs of malnutrition in the bones of people buried nearby suggested famine was a constant threat. 'In a small society which was very stressed, that means somebody who couldn't contribute or go out hunting or undertake a lot of tasks was supported, accommodated, and adjusted to,'"

The vast majority of users absolutely don't care about data residency or "privacy", however you interpret that word. You can convince individuals to care, but good luck convincing a large group.

What can happen (and has happened) is that the existing thing becomes just toxic enough to lessen the pull and invite alternatives. For the tech communities I've been a part of this has happened a number of times in the history of the web — off the top of my head:

• ExpertsExchange -> StackOverflow

• IE 6 -> Firefox

• Twitter -> Mastodon

In all cases the migration was driven by software engineers' disgust with the platform. The current Twitter -> Mastodon migration is mostly just folks in tech, but there are enough of us to forge decent-sized communities there.
> Vasquez further told Reclaim The Net that “Mr. Scharf was ultimately fired for refusing to yield his Catholic beliefs to gender ideology.”

This is a very very generous description of why he was fired. Generous to the fired person.
Interesting read, good to see information on it from the German perspective, as the phenomenon seems to be playing out in most of the West.

Weber has been fair vocal about the directionality here:

https://www.newyorker.com/news/persons-of-interest/what-if-w...

With an interesting take on why it is occurring now (contrasting coming out of the pandemic & coming out of WW2, where industry needs to rejig supply lines, different things are in different places profitability wise).

Meanwhile, most of the wage-price spiral talk has been coming under a lot of fire, from both the right and left of economics. For instance, the Libertarian / right Cato Institute:

https://www.cato.org/commentary/wage-price-spiral-explanatio...

or an Australian thinktank's take:

https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/feb/24/an-economic...

while the Australian Treasurer says similar things:

https://www.smh.com.au/politics/federal/australians-hit-by-l...

and the IMF struggled to find good evidence of them:

https://www.imf.org/en/Publications/WP/Issues/2022/11/11/Wag...

These critiques have been glad to see, given it seemed everyone seemed to want to blame workers in the first instance, when they are still doing just a lot of catch up with their household inputs.

Of course, even Cost-push inflation itself is poo-pooed as an idea by lots of mainstream economists (like Milton Friedman and co), so this pressure on greedy companies (which I think is their default position) might find a better audience (although Friedman would just say, where is the extra quantity of money coming from).

The mainstream media seem to throw everyone under the bus as they try and write an article about whichever statistical release happened on any given day, but I'll take greedy companies over greedy workers for today.
The context is discussion of social media platforms where the platform already owns all the content and has the tools to decide what gets published and what doesn't.
There's also defining a module and then `import`ing it.
Never used such system, but I'm inclined to buy what's promised. Besides what I've reported in a recent comment [1], this system also slightly resembles the classifications used in accounting. At a first glance those account numbers look cryptic and arbitrary, but soon enough you realize how helpful they are on enabling accountants to communicate and creating journal entries.

> so why not just male?

It's of the form "Have you stopped beating your wife? Answer only yes or no."

To be as brief as possible the typical objections to doing something like that are that it directly supports the societal changes that see the use of pronouns as a personal preference of the referent, and indirectly signals to others that may likewise object that he doesn't object when he actually does (i.e. that they're in a smaller minority than they actually are) or they should go along regardless.
Kind of reminds of Urbit where Yarvin has hinted that some of the political controversy and inscrutable design were on purpose to keep away leftists. That also goes along with Peter Thiel's (who funded Yarvin) efforts since college to build and nurture rightwing-only networks of techies.
The author said it's inappropriate "during their internal investigation". The way I understand it, he supports the actions of Amazon, but he wishes there was a presumption of innocence.
