Have they compared this to the gradual and massive expansion in testing and diagnostics, and moving the minimum ages younger and younger? My provider is demanding to go drilling up my butt for a colonoscopy as well as a prostate exam already on my fiftieth birthday. It would seem that increased cancer rates may be linked to increasingly aggressive testing that doesn't seem to be optional, as well as ever-more sensitive criteria.

It is my understanding that some cancer testing, such as lung cancer biopsy, can actually cause cancer by the very act, so then doctors get to congratulate themselves on catching it early... very early, I'd say!
It really depends to me - are they about to leak corporate or user data. If it's MY data that's about to be leaked because Reddit was hacked I'm not a fan of the the high principled moral high ground - they should (literally) pay for it because they failed to protect my data.
Does vim feel slow to you now? I’ve used both, don’t notice any difference in “snappiness.” Terminal app on text files not really demanding a lot of resources.
Reservoir-floating anyway. A terrible idea to float them on an actual sea.
Yes. The name/id choice recommendation has been evolving since the original HTML spec. For modern browsers (in 2023), you are right about the id attribute. Some very old browsers needed the name anchors.
I submitted this also but I haven't had a chance to use it yet.

Have you built anything useful with it beyond the very simple demo you showcased? Any issues you have encountered?
Meh, they openly said they would've taken just the money and kept silent while also warning ahead of time that they'd ask for the API changes in addition to the money publicly if reddit wouldn't comply.
So they basically admitted that it's about the money for them - doesn't feel like they tout themselves als modern day Robin Hood.

Whaddaya know. Go after billionaires and they spend some of their fortune fighting back. It's a big problem, the rich can hire whole armies if they get cornered.
It can achieve > 90 percent of the computing tasks on the planet, outside of datacenters, smartphones, and PCs.

But IMHO the price is the sticking point because nearly the same can be said of an a esp32-s2 (riscV) and it has better peripherals, built in WiFi and Bluetooth, and sells for <$2 soldered on a dev board.

I think the fit here is for edge-AI. The asynchronous multiprocessing might actually be a winner here, since you could run your time-unpredictable algorithms on the Linux core and run your real-time needs on an ratos or bare metal on the other core… so kinda like a 2 in one device? Still not sure if that tracks for most cases though since a discrete RTOS/Bare metal core is about 0.5usd to solder next to your application processor.

I think something around this price point with a strong TPU integrated might make sense, especially since it seems to compare favourably with the kendryte k210 which has proven very popular in edge-AI image processing. The question here is whether or not the vector unit will compare well with the NPU on the K210 or not, and whether the power budget is good enough for battery powered devices.

I think the whole thing stems from a need to do something with all the expensive 3D camera technology that Cameron had developed, and all of the expensive 3D projectors (and even more expensive 3D imax projectors) that all the cinemas had to buy for Avatar. Whether the TV manufacturers were just jumping on the perceived hype I don’t know. But as may be obvious I have a lot of contempt personally for James Cameron for inflicting this horrible technology on the world for around a decade.
It's because perception of intent matters.

Someone actively pointing a camera at you is perceived as an aggressive, hostile thing. People get immediately defensive.

A static CCTV camera wasn't installed to video you in particular, so therefore people are more accepting.
> to find a way to make the site profitable without alienating a significant chunk of the userbase?

Is it? Apple is the most profitable company and by most metric a well performing company and they never shied away from alienating their users(by things like removing 32 bits, headphone jack, iphone mini etc). Google is the same where they killed many services used by millions.
I've thought about this in the past, it's not difficult to do. I've used the Discord API in the past, you can listen to literally all messages that happen in the server. Streaming those into a DB and displaying them in a web-based UI (with Pidgin-like HTML export) would be straightforward. Maybe that'll be my next weekend's project.

Edit: My sibling mentions the appropriateness of such a thing, and I do think letting users know that their messages will be posted on the web is important, but either way, if it's a public channel of a FOSS project's Discord server, surely people understand that those messages aren't private to begin with, right?
Not if you want to get paid by legit businesses.
I think that makes him the authority to talk.
Humans are the ones who own and deploy capital. It's ordinary people's savings and pensions. But people like to invent boogymen so that they don't have to take responsibility for their action, so they blame wall street and conveniently forget that its their own money that wall street is managing.
You have the same problem that a number of my coworkers have had: there comes a point where someone is so bad at explaining themselves that you can’t tell if they have a really brilliant idea, or if they are so used to complecting things that they’ve taken something straightforward and wrapped it up in a baroque package.

Sometimes such people succeed anyway, but typically when they find themselves surrounded with people suffering from Impostor Syndrome. Which is to say, people who think, “this is to complex for me, I must be too dumb” and not, “this is to complex for me, it must be too dumb”

The problem with most really exceptional ideas is that, once said out loud, they sound completely obvious to most everyone else. If they come out early in a design process, people think you haven’t contributed much at all. They only see the value if the suggestions come after a plan has already started to wind itself around the axles. At which point the people suffering from Sunk Cost may push back because we worked so hard to solve this problem the hard way we’d feel foolish going back now.

If you want people to understand what you’re saying, do the work. Maybe try reading some Feynman. Stop using contractions in your examples. Use bigger charts, and use charting types people in industry actually use, instead of inventing your own. Pull out a thesaurus and find more accurate words (but still at an 5-8th grade reading level). Software made of complicated ideas doesn’t scale on the human side. Because eventually you’re staring at fifty “simple” ideas that interact in very complex patterns. If the ideas start out more complex than necessary, you run out of runway (similarly if you try to dumb everything down with “All Xs are Ys” absolutism you end up with a hundred ideas instead of fifty, and did by the same sword).

As simple as possible, but no simpler. And if you can’t explain your ideas to college freshman, you don’t understand the domain as well as you think you do.
For this kind of testing, you frequently want a 'watchdog' - which is hardware that can auto-reboot a computer if the software locks up or malfunctions. The way it works is that software 'pets' the watchdog every few minutes, and if the software malfunctions, then it doesn't pet the watchdog, and the system gets hard reset and boots a known good kernel.

Unfortunately, while nearly all computer hardware has a watchdog, frequently the linux kernel doesn't implement support for it. That in turn means that testing buggy kernels on real hardware automatically frequently ends up with the hardware getting stuck and a human needs to reset stuff manually.
I'm reminded of that every other year or so, nobody made an alternative since then?
I don't care about your stupid DMs.

> LLMs don’t support this sort of functionality, and thus the trainers eliminate adult content from the training so as not to lose market share to other censored models.

And yet Stability.ai had managed to do just that with Stable Diffusion, even if it’s wasn’t in the model per se, and was quickly worked around anyway.

> You should take a look at the HN guidelines. Your comment is a strongly worded take on politics, religion, and otherwise significantly controversial topics. Ideological battle is discouraged.

Tomato, tomato.

One’s observations and commentary on the methods of those inclined to wage ideological battles, including censorship, is another’s strongly worded ideological crusade.
I find them super comfortable. They don’t feel like they’re squeezing my head unlike others that are too tight, they’re not very heavy, they cushions are wide and spread the pressure well without folding my ears uncomfortably… I personally find them very comfortable.
"Why are tech companies so puritanical? Adult content is not immoral."

It's all about "optics" and PR. These companies don't want their brands associated with porn. That's why YouTube doesn't allow porn on their site, even though it would be enormously profitable.
There are two reasons for reducing the mass of PV for space.

The first is to reduce the cost of launching PV into space. The second is to improve the performance of spacecraft once they are in space, particularly spacecraft using solar-electric propulsion.

If the goal is the latter, not the former, it could make sense to launch PV with a substantial backing layer to give it mechanical strength, then (after unfurling) remove that layer (say, by allowing it to sublimate, or by oxidizing it with atomic oxygen radicals) before dispatching the spacecraft.
I appreciate it and the civilized discussion! I might need to take another look at the next major version release. The passthrough stuff if objectively easy to check : tv shows hdr/dv logo, receiver tells me the encoding. I wonder if it just slightly overtaxed the tube shield for the latency.

Can I get the HN comment length explanation of what this means?
Bungie's Myth II supported extensive modding (everything defined in the assets), so there's many total conversions that have been done.
I’m not sure this is unrelated:

Naively, this idea would allow for turbulent “burning” regions within an otherwise smooth flow around a ring. The idea of a smooth boundary on your plasma constrained by magnets which has turbulent interior regions may turn out to be useful.
Oh mate, there is porn on YT.
I wonder if this is related to the brain's pattern matching. Brain A anticipates the actions of SocialBeing B and rewards being right. Ditto the other direction. Anticipated and confirmed behavior leading to synchronization in brain waves.

Curious if we can see cross species effects, like a person and their dog.
No there is a war between Reddit management and a number of Reddit users. A certain proportion of users do not care about the API at all.
A lot of their messaging to advertisers revolves around discussing the value proposition of subs like /r/buyitforlife which has 1.5 million users who are likely actively considering a purchase at the moment of viewership, are willing to be convinced to spend more money, and are relatively affluent. Klaje (Reddit’s rev executive) loves talking about trust and positivity of the user base. I’m not sure how that messaging survives if the site moves away from quality content.
Well, to continue the analogy, they might be asking me to do 10% more work for 2% more pay.

Owning and maintaining a trainer in your build system would be a form of technical debt.

My experience with semi-private chats in modern times is that it encourages more conversation that are visible to more people since everything people say is not going to be trivially searchable for all time by anyone. In the age where the media and those with an axe to grind (and frankly the person interviewing you for a job in 10 years) have figured out how to dig up anything you ever said in under 10 minutes the web ideal is less than ideal. Part of learning is saying stupid things and semi-private forums makes that easier I feel.
I buy it with my credit card with my name on it at an Apple Store.

Good. So now we know how you willingly "surrender your identity" to Apple for tracking purposes.

You do realize not everyone does this? You can buy an iPhone at Walmart --- using cash if you prefer.

I'm a nobody.

Really? Just a guess but "ulfw" is not your real name is it?

Imagine that --- even though you try to deny it in order to defend Daddy Apple, it turns out that you're an "important spy guy" too --- just like me.

But Apple knows exactly who you are and where you are right now, where you live, work, shop, eat, play, travel, who you spend time with, where you post anonymous comments and how much you earn and spend.

Apple probably knows you better than Mrs. ulfw. Speaking of which, they probably have photos of the two of you, maybe even audio of you doing the nasty. Hopefully you're not fooling around on Mrs. ulfw or hiding money from her. You know she can subpoena your Apple data file for the divorce proceedings.

I'm sure Apple will send you a "thank you" for surrendering and allowing them to make a few extra bucks each month subverting your worthless privacy. They really need the extra cash.

So three years ago, when I started my job, we worked quite a bit with GitHub and GitLab, and had at least one local repo on our personal devices. And a coworker of mine was responsible for pushing stuff at the right time to the GitLab instance.

Well, very early he decided that it was a good idea to use the option "-mend" (or something, I forget the exact word) and so every time he did a "git push" he used the "-mend" option. Of course, this string is not actually an option in itself, but it's the "-m" option followed by the text "end". And so, for six months, I'd look in the repo and I'd see every single commit with the commit message "end".

I seriously tried to discuss this with him once and it did not register, so I gave up, and so every commit continued with the same meaningless message, and I bet not a single person besides me even noticed or cared.
People have kind of figured out that an appearance of calm, rationalism may also conceal extremely strong feelings.

One has to have an open mind. It's not inherently more rational to calmly accept all social changes brought on by technology.

...and smells much the same!
I tried it, but ended up just using file shares. The biggest issue for me is that it does not automatically recognize many movies by their short names instead linking to some obscure thing with a similar name. For instance, since files can not have colon in the name, and many movies do, it gets confused about the title. Another similar issue is about shows and how it recognizes their folder and file structures.

In the end it seems easier for me to just navigate the folder structure and look up any metadata by googling, because I add shows and movies more often than have urges to look up random character's actor.

Oh, and web client doesn't play 5.1
I'll cry if/when Google buys some enterprise software I happen to support one more time. The appeal for a lot of niche enterprise software is responsive/knowledgeable tech support, willingness to implement feaure requests, and their ability to meet SLAs. All of these instantly drop to zero in a google buyout. Also there's no guarantee that the software will even exist in a usable way within a year.

I say this purely anecdotally, though, so take it as such. It has been a point of considerable personal frustration in the past. One instance was particularly painful because we had engaged the particular company looking for several custom features, and were basically buying a sizable percentage of the product they sold, with the promise that they would work with us implementing those features. When google bought them out, not only did the ability to get features implmented vanish, but so did the ones in flight.

I saw a lot of excited people on Twitter when that feature was first enabled. For example for students, having images of books or posters be automatically copyable and searchable is very useful.
Link is to a 2 day old youtube clip:

This week, Imogen put this to the test and visited the Alqueva Reservoir in Portugal to see EDP's remarkable 5MW floating solar farm. Working in combination with its Hydroelectric Dam neighbour, this project shows the enormous potential and scalability of floating photovoltaics.

For some context, a number of countries have floating solar panels arrays across reservoirs, eg:

Floating Solar UK is a subsidiary of Ciel et Terre International.

Sheeplands farm is the first site in the UK to Install Hydrelio floating Solar PV in 2014.

It's a double benefit (done well) solar power and reduced evaporation.
I usually don't struggle to work towards my goals but totally agree that this resonates and this single insight made the article a worthwhile read.
I feel like it was already leaning pretty far right before, it's just straight up Nazis now.
I have tried it a couple of years ago (maybe less), but went back to Plex because of higher polish and family sharing features (which are a little clunky on Plex, but usable). Also, I have PlexAmp set up everywhere (including some Android desktop displays) for music.

> I can't see 100 quid getting five times the headphone experience.

Just to be clear, this is not what I'm claiming either, when I choose the £100 headphones. I don't think anyone would make that claim. I find them to be "better", and worth the premium, but absolutely not five times "better".

> I don't think my ears would be able to distinguish the difference, especially not from pc sound output.

That's all that really matters I guess.

You could try to find a way to test a "better" setup (source device + headphones) to see if you are missing out. But you could also absolutely just avoid doing that and just stay happy.
I think they can. Twitter isnt a public forum. It is a private entity. They very much can shut down any speech they want. They can also do so in response to government requests. Pure unbridled freedom of speech only really exists in public spaces. The insides of privately-owned servers are not a streetcorner, courthouse step or city park.

To be fair, I think some people just quickly and intuitively "get" what's expected from them when doing proofs, without any formal introduction. But for others (like me) it is very much helpful to at least list the basic natural deduction inference rules, and to do a bunch of exercises where they have to use these rules explicitly. Otherwise they are floating in thin air, with only a hazy idea of what a "valid logical step" even is.
I have heard, but cannot confirm, that elsewhere in /r/modcoord there is a discussion of how $125K is the worth of a Reddit mod's work.

I can confirm that last year a Reddit mod estimated that his work is worth $175K because he saves lives <https://np.reddit.com/r/35orquit/comments/qw1v3e/what_do_peo...>. Be sure to read to the end, where he explains how he "saves lives".
"Some would say that pornography implies sex. Others that it is defined by the content’s purpose. Some would contend that considering the mere exposition of the female body outside of any sexual interaction as pornographic is, in itself, objectification and sexualisation."

It definitely varies from culture to culture. In the US a bared nipple on national television was a sensation, in the UK it's par for the course.

In some cultures women regularly go bare chested, in the US being topless on a beach could land you in jail.

In some cultures men wear nothing but a penis-sheath in public, while that would be considered outrageous in many other cultures.

In the US it used to be considered indecent if a woman showed an ankle, and uncivilized not to wear a hat.

In India hugging or kissing in public might get you assaulted[1], while it's no big deal in many other countries.

There are taboos in every culture, but what is taboo varies from one culture to another.

> So if they had been personalized letters from an actual psychic then no fraud?! Or anyway not prosecutable.

No, the fraud involved convincing the customers that they should send more money to the fraudsters because the customers would thereby become rich. It's just an advance-fee scam by mail. I don't understand why you thought it had to do with the personalization, or lack thereof.

It was a fiancial crime, and four of the counts were wire fraud; one count was conspiracy to commit money laundering. This had everything to do with the fees he was extracting from the clientele and very little to do with the content or originality of the messages.
I was complaining on HN about this property the other day, and got quite a bit of pushback. But I really believe that "dynamic viewport" is a terrible decision. Instead of Safari and other mobile browsers simply respecting the viewport itself, we're bending over backwards and adding more complexity to CSS just so they can have this little one-off feature of theirs. It's very frustrating.
