I have thoughts on how it works, at a not physical realm.

Can you please expand on that?
The article which you linked, says the arrested people are accused of conducted scouting trips of the governor's house.

The furthest that the guardian went, was saying their claims of an FBI setup were "not entirely outlandish".

But then you introduced the story here as if the FBI "created the plot". That's not what your link said
Show HN: Next.js AI Chatbot Template by Vercel Labs
Hey y'all! Jared Palmer here...

Me, @shadcn, and @shuding_ just an open-sourced a new Next.js AI chatbot app template built with Next.js, the Vercel AI SDK, and Vercel KV.

Ahah thanks mate! Yeah, I went for the original name to get people to remember it more easily. (Also, I wanted something that sound fun, not boring)

The problem with this: that's it's not easy to find it on Google, there's no silver bullet I guess...
They'd have to be either greedy or racist. What are the odds?
British Scientists (meme)
Sideways!
Or due to attrition.

Some agent is grooming someone, leaves/gets promoted, the new handler doesn't quite understand what was going on and then all of a sudden they have a "situation" on their hands.
Let's add in, for the obvious fun, that the rate of asymptomatic infection is lower than the false positive rate of tests.
Mail-Order Brides Shaped America
> “Yes maybe ever couple 100 years you might have to move it, who cares. If your society isn't capable managing nuclear waste then nobody will care anymore anyway.”

This isn’t the right way to plan centuries ahead. You can’t just say “well if the dummies can’t do this one more thing we imposed on them, they deserve what they get.”

With generational risks we should aim to reduce them now as much as possible and take the most dangerous contingencies off the table.
I’m surprised all of these systems combine build logic and dependency graphs in the same config. It seems like flake might be a step in understanding these things are only tangentially related.

I would like to see composability of graphs (and other set operations on binary package repos) integrated into more dependency management systems.

FreeBSD is my server of choice and I’d love to say: create a package repo with my config package and it’s dependencies and nothing more and deploy from that knowing a million other dependencies can’t be pulled in (e.g. give me a new jail that pulls from subset).

It’s probably something I should prototype one day.
Daniel Ellsberg’s Life Beyond The Pentagon Papers
Much of the state is peaceful, balanced out by high crime rates in parts of Chicago and in mid-sized cities (Rockford, Aurora, Peoria, Springfield.)
Is there an economist that could explain what this website means? It's so confusing. The link to the paper gives you an abstract which doesn't tell you anything. The graphs make it clear that the dollar is dominant against all of the currencies, but is there someway to quantify this in plain English?
Reddit makes no profit because it needs about 100 devs and support staff if we're being generous and they've hired over a thousand.
You're incorrect or confused on several aspects so let me break it down for you.

Frequency of detection of secondary cosmic radiation is very sensitive to geomagnetic conditions. That is not up for dispute.

The paper in question provides statistical evidence that "variations of secondary cosmic ray detection rates are periodically correlated with future global earthquake magnitude sum".

The paper contains no claims about precisely predicting seismic activity in terms of geographic location or time of occurrence. The authors make this abundantly clear.

The USGS page you linked has no citations or even a timestamp. I'd wager it hasn't been updated in ages. It's not the decisive source you want it to be.

Here's the paper in question if you want to actually read it: https://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/2204/2204.12310.pdf

Take a look at this research from NASA, it is one of the many papers that completely contradicts your claim that "changes in geomagnetism are not associated with earthquakes": https://www.scirp.org/journal/paperinformation.aspx?paperid=...
The biggest hurdle any society has to get over is whether people who commit crimes should be helped or punished. In Finland, prison is a summer camp, but recidivism is far lower. Even if the criminals "deserve" worse treatment, all a harsher, non-rehabilitative prison does is make another future victim of crime. Though of course, America's solution to recidivism is life sentences, which is basically just a life thrown away to be a permanent tax burden.
And you can buy an Android phone for that - problem solved.
> Who would invest in a Reddit IPO now?!

Moreover, what will be the short interest should this company go public?

I become more confident with every week that the CEO is holding back the company. And so is the board by allowing executive decisions and objectively false statements based on ego.
Yeah I mean I'm pretty sure that any activity that doesn't involve fighting or doing other illegal shit will help with rehabilitation.
Or you're making Doom.
From what I understood from the OP link, the FBI are working closely with US attorneys on how to structure and sequence their cases.

I really don't understand why you have theorised that a US attorney would allow attacks to take place.

Obviously an attorney is seeking closed prosecutions, and the article is about closing prosecutorial cases against people "plotting" attacks, and, therefore, no additional steps are required in order to obtain prosecution.
My take is that this "progress" will eventually end in internal ruin, because there will be no "there" there. Pursuing sexual and racial identity for its own sake, under "justice" or any other name, is a recipe for disaster.
Are you thinking of a magsafe connector? A lightning connector definitely does have a little end that can snap off, and that in my experience (with children) is less robust than a USB-C.
I'd have been more surprised if there wasn't streaming. All the LLMs I have ever used, stream tokens in real-time. I'm talking about the time spent per token.
Just happened in Oregon too.
> I agree it’s not “entrapment”. But there’s another concept at play here that I don’t have a good name for which still makes these things mostly bullshit.

I have one: solicitation to commit a felony. I think we’d be a little better off if the congress made it clear via statute that this sort of conduct falls under the existing solicitation statutes.

We’d be a lot better off if there was a permanent special prosecutor charged with identifying and prosecuting these crimes.
Benchmarking for Vector DBs (Milvus, Zilliz, Qdrant, Weaviate, Elastic Search)
"IP permissions, i.e., copyrights, are not natural rights, they are instead government "grants" of protection"

There's no such thing as a natural right, period. They're all imaginary creations of humans.
Almost willing?

It's a perversion of the ideals this country is supposed to stand for.

The FBI should be in prison. It was originally founded by Hoover as a US version of Stasi (that predates it!) to persecute people who challenge government corruption.
I see you're using the Vercel AI SDK but wasn't that released like yesterday?
Is it a trademark/appellation contrôlée?
Are the moderators getting paid? Or is Reddit making money off of their unpaid backs?
I wish mediawiki was more loved. It is an amazingly effective and intuitive piece of software. But maintaining, upgrading and managing it and the various extensions is a pain.

I suspect a rethink and rewrite could substantially reduce the cost of running such wili farms but is unlikely to ever happen.
I can do tons of work if it's motivating. Most of what's available is tedium and incremental bullshit.

Actually I'll go further and say most of our work is a net negative for society. Ads are just psychological manipulation to trigger feelings of jealously and greed. Or producing new mixed plastic silicon junk with a 3-year supported software stack but could run for a decade but then millennia in the trash dump. PFAs in all our water supplies.

Okay even more demotivated now.
I remember people saying the same thing about crypto. Then it started consuming more electricity than Ireland: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/nov/27/bitcoin-m...
Hope those in "minimal government" red states are looking forward to their porn-watcher registries eventually leaking. (No, this isn't hyperbole, go look it up)

Edit: no really, enjoy it. Apologies for the AMP link but you know, gotta find something quick for those conservatives here unable to accept the reality they've welcomed. https://www.google.com/amp/s/arstechnica.com/tech-policy/202...

It's already in effect for multiple states. Downvotes alleviate the cognitive dissonance. Go go go !!
I will pay for exterior painters - the cost to my own state of mind with painting a house is too high. I will glady do harder jobs than painting myself, but nothing pisses me off more than painting for some reason.
If someone resurrected your deleted texts and emails - deletion being the explicit expression of your non-consent to sharing, it would be difficult not to interpret it as an act of aggression.

If they don't respect your consent, why should anyone respect theirs?
you're the typical one I think
> How bad is that, really?

They wouldn't die outright, see Goiânia accident.

But honestly, if the future mankind would lose it knowledge about such place and it's dangers and would get a lesson... then it would get a lesson.
>the most likely scenario (and most common on

What evidence led you to think this is MOST likely - or in fact has ever happened in history?
People can be more productive by engaging in ventures they would otherwise not have due to prohibitive risk.

(Likewise with credit allowing people to finance ventures that they would otherwise be unable to)
When you're up to your neck in quicksand ... why struggle?
The Diagrammer (1970) [video]
Yeah, I think you’re exactly right. My guess would be that as a public company, Reddit looks a lot like Lyft - not a terribly differentiated product, cost structure out of control, poorly performing stock, but still a multi-billion dollar company.

I think I read somewhere that Reddit had taken like $1.7 billion in VC money. Even if its current valuation is way down from what it appears to have peaked at ($15 billion), there’s still plenty of cushion for the VCs to get their money out and give the employees some liquidity.

They’ll probably torch the franchise in the process, but at least for a brief moment, they have created some real value for the shareholders.
Do you not understand that being singled out like that is what leads people to become school shooters in the first place? This is some malevolent big-brother bullshit.
r/videos gets more natural traffic because it's a default sub. Regardless, making a subreddit isn't some competition. You don't need to be bigger than the subreddit you're forking from.
It would make sense if the mods of /r/apple are Apple employees who do their job on company time. Being replaced as mods would be damaging to their career and there is a possibility that people will be put in charge that Apple can't control. I expect similar behavior from any brand subreddits.
You only need to sign up to one server generally.
No one's getting promoted every 2 years from L3 to L8. Even going from L3 to L5 in 4 years is rare. Plus, most people who try to walk this path will plateau at L5 anyway.

That's still not bad, though. Graduate at 22, having banked a decent bit of savings already from 2 or 3 Big Tech internships. Make L5 by 26, coast for 5-10 years, and then call it a wrap. Invest in real estate as soon as humanly possible during that time, and scale out the real estate portfolio at the same time as the brokerage account and the 401k.

If I were to do it again, that'd surely be the fastest way to go.

Then again, if I were to actually do it all again, I'd love to do it all entirely differently. Maybe become a carpenter or something.
Yeah, capitalism 101, good in theory but terrible for most people in practice. Look at e.g. the health system, where a major issue means total bankruptcy and life debt. A somewhat balanced system where governments protect basic needs and have some control over the markets is the ideal imo.
Probably just that for those of us who are accustomed to working for a living, we see our time as the commodity and money as the compensation for marketing and selling it.
Wealthier people can sit on the opposite end of that transaction and purchase our time commodity with their money, freeing up their own time in the process. But walking a mile in those shoes can feel backwards when one is accustomed to it only ever working the other way.
It's not just old code, it's an old compiler too. One with security issues well known, unpatched.

If you think security is an afterthought, you're doing it wrong.
It's possible to disagree on something without it being "a cope". Let's leave that kind of thinking to Reddit and other platforms with lower standards than here.
Can't recycle anymore in Russia.

I was honestly surprised to learn how big of an issue nuclear waste management is. Up to the point where people are actually reinforced in popular opinion, that nuclear waste is a dirty and an unmanageable problem.

This isn't even really waste, there are lots of useful materials that you can extract or reprocess into other kinds of useful fuel for other types of reactor.

Except after Chernobyl, almost no one actually bothered with developing proper infrastructure and production chains for nuclear industry.
It’s ridiculously easy to make sriracha at home. Fermenting a mix of chilies and optionally other veggies and then blending them is a straight path to flavor country. HF’s sriracha is just one take—good, but you can do better at home.
The Pentagon Papers
Gen Z workers are exhausted – and seeking solutions
There's usually an information gradient between when employees & early adopters realize a company is turning around and when Wall Street realizes they're turning around. It'll be subtle signs like: the company's hiring again, and hiring back people who aren't idiots. Prominent ex-employees who left go back to work there. The products don't suck anymore, and you actually get excited when they announce something. The product strategy starts to make sense again, and isn't an unfocused mess.

Microsoft under Nadella is a good example. Nvidia or OpenAI I'd argue might be an anti-example: most of the excitement for their stock seems to be because of the hype around AI, and they're already incredibly richly valued, while a true sleeper hit usually has much more subtle signs. (When I went to work for Google in 2009, my previous boss told me "Didn't you miss the boat already on that one?")
That's probably it. I noticed that it's not slow per se but it fails a lot. When it works it's fast enough.
> That is not the point of micro-dosing. What would be the purpose of taking it, if it does absolutely nothing at all?

This nonsense can be said of vitamins/supplements.

Microdosing psychedelics is basically treating them similarly AIUI. As with vitamins/supplements, just because you can't detect any acute effects doesn't mean they're not having any impact, especially long-term.

My own limited experience microdosing psilocybin for a couple weeks was that despite not feeling any acute effects at all, upon reflection post-facto my overall behavior was changed in interesting ways. Mostly related to priorities and paying attention to things I had long forgotten/ignored.
> That would be unprecedented in the history of social media to only allow permanent comments.

Ok, so how do I delete my HN comments?
It seems like 70M over 2 years, which is not that bad but also weird for a newly founded streaming startup that does not have anything unique. Looked around for a bit, but there isn't anything that really gives a clear insights on their investors/founders and how they are financing the whole deal.

Edit: I was mistaken, it seems like the site is owned by the same people who owns multiple crypto related/adjacent gambling companies so that might actually be where the "money" comes from. Source: https://twitter.com/OllyRobzTTV/status/1640542322180988929
Carbon neutral is the indulgence of our age. And about as effective.
Yeah, as the old saying goes: There's nothing wrong with a simple life of peace and prosperity.

I frittered away large swaths of my 20s, and now, as I try to make up the lost time in my 30s, I often think of an entirely different quote though:

Software development, like professional sports, has a way of making thirty-year-old men feel decrepit.

FCEVs are also EVs. People are simply being short-sighted about hydrogen. It will eventually replace BEVs.

Of the 13 people involved the FBI has admitted to 5 of them being directly or indirectly working on behalf of the FBI including the group leader. There is significant evidence pointing to the fact that if the FBI had not been involved the plot would've never happened.
During the delicately orchestrated gala, full of sci-fi-esque lighting effects and dreamy performances, the awards were handed out one by one. The biggest awards were for the achievement section, where "The Three-Body Problem" writer Liu Cixin won the sci-fi master achievement award.

"As a science fiction fan and author in China, I consider myself fortunate to express myself through my works and introduce Chinese science fiction to the world," Liu stated in his acceptance speech via video link. "Science fiction is an enthralling genre that showcases human imagination and creativity. It provokes emotions and strikes a chord with humanity's collective vision for the future, the world, and the universe. Through science fiction, we come together as one and contemplate our existence while finding the courage to confront the future."
Of course they're happy to have the gamblers! Almost by definition the gamblers are subsidizing their risk management strategies!
I'm referring to the owners of the company, or rather their executive proxies.
The redistribution is productive, because by redistributing risk (not just among people, but also across time), some ventures that were otherwise not feasible become feasible. For example, you want to build a house - but you don’t have the cash. A bank gives you a loan. They take the risk that you won’t pay them back, you get a house, and return they get a premium. This benefits many stakeholders (you, the bank, the builders, etc). If the bank has too much risk, they can off board it to someone with deeper pockets and a more diversified portfolio.
Based off the title, I thought this might be about Ted Kaczynski.
In the extreme, the have been politicians and other leaders who came in and decided to undo decisions of their predecessors for petty reasons. A memorable example being the US' 45th President.

If this high cost is in the long run cheaper than relying on 10+ generations to do the right thing, it's probably a worthwhile cost.
Terrorism cases help prosecutors' careers. Prosecutors and agents collude 24x7. This collusion is legally sanctioned.
They penalise duplicate content because 999 out of 1000 times it's spam. It's a bit of an issue forking any site, and one reason you might be better off just starting over.
In my experience, LLMs are poor at working with unpopular languages -- probably because their training data does not contain a lot of examples of programs written in those languages, or explanations of them.

They do much better with popular languages.
You do it before someone has replied to it. Once someone has replied, you can't delete your comment without destroying the context of their comment. It's not just about you at that point.
It's a units problem. Dollars today are not worth dollars tomorrow, there needs to be a conversion. You can argue about what the conversion should be, maybe mark to market isn't right for reasons, but it's a reasonable baseline guess.

If you want to estimate current dollars, and forecast dollars at the end of the month, quarter, year, etc; that's fine too, and would probably give a better picture of the books than wrong math where current and future dollars are compared directly as if they were the same.
He does not care about users like you.

>>I know I’m focusing a lot on that, but that’s where a lot of the protests in the community are focused. People appear to really love these apps. And, apparently, they think Reddit itself is not offering the experience they’re looking for. People talk about leaving the platform because they can’t use these apps. So if Reddit is going to shut down these apps, you’re going to lose people who loved Reddit, and that still doesn’t quite make sense. So I guess I’m wondering why hasn’t there been...

>90-plus percent of Reddit users are on our platform, contributing, and are monetized either through ads or Reddit Premium. Why would we subsidize this small group? Why would we effectively pay them to use Reddit but not everybody else who also contributes to Reddit? Does that make sense?

>These people who are mad, they’re mad because they used to get something for free, and now it’s going to be not free. And that free comes at the expense of our other users and our business. That’s what this is about. It can’t be free.

The entire article is just so bizarre and needlessly hostile that I'm amazed they're allowing him to do interviews.
The FBI baited his child into a crime. Most people probably expect their government not to lure their children to danger, but to guide them to safety. Your response makes it sound like the kid's behaviour is what the father didn't expect, but no. It's the FBI that did the unexpected, and arguably abhorrent thing.
Nice. By the way I saw a 98 year old man who drove his wife to the doctor the other day. There are no age limits (assuming good health!)
Interesting, a comment with no up or down vote. Is it just me or did this comment just get pinned?
Beat SingleStore, StarRocks millisecond-level point queries
Supporting point queries with arbitrary field filtering is a common requirement for TP databases, and a common solution is the use of secondary indexes. In recent user scenario tests, we found that StarRocks, in a cluster consisting of 3 servers with 8-core CPUs, 32GB of memory, and 4TB AWS EBS disks, can provide sub-millisecond performance for hot queries on hundreds of billions of data and around 1-second performance for cold queries.
I think generative AI will eventually see very wide application on this area and it might be one of the most magical uses for it.

Btw, I think Tim Cook should have released Vision with thought controls. Then it'd have been revolutionary....
How many people in their 20s and 30s fell for get-rich-quick crypto rugpulls? It wasn't tech-illiterate Boomers buying memecoins.
It feels like almost a certainty that an intelligence agency that also has law enforcement powers is going to develop an unhealthy culture. That isn't really hyperbole.

That their power is sometimes pointed at actual criminals doesn't change that much. For example, their relationship with Whitey Bulger did end up putting some bad people in prison. It also had some less desirable outcomes.
Carmack is definitely atypical
