This starting to annoy me too. It's not just shitty channels. Even good channels are doing it because the analytics tells them to.

General patterns:

- <thing> vs <other thing>

- Boobs/cleavage in thumbnail

Aircraft grade aluminum is 2024 or 7075, not 6061, because those alloys are more resistant to fatigue from repeated pressurization cycles.

6061 is more commonly used in automotives than in aircraft.
> It's really quite simple and elegant. Svelte's model would likely be more complex tbh.

Prop drilling in Svelte is exactly the same complexity.

useState() wouldn’t exist because Svelte doesn’t need a virtual DOM and the compiler takes care of reactivity (per the famous React vs Svelte meme).

No one said the world is in the Middle Ages.

That's very misleading though. Nintendo is in a very different market segment. They basically sit in the space between Xbox/Playstation and iPhone/Android mobile gaming. The N64 was the last console they made that attempted to compete on performance.

When you take Nintendo out of the picture and look strictly at Sony and Microsoft, the numbers look so much worse for Microsoft. Unless they can score some important exclusives, I just don't see them continuing to produce future generations of game consoles. So all of you fighting this merger, I hope that you enjoy your Sony game console monopoly.
Could you please stop posting unsubstantive comments and flamebait? You've unfortunately been doing it repeatedly. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.

If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.

I think this, meaning some better and more sophisticated version of this, is a possible route to developing AI that can learn without changing its weights. It uses GPT-4 as a component of a system. You can tell it something, it will commit it to memory, and on later interactions with a different context it will recall what you previously told it and use that to form a new response.

I've never said what I have is worth a hundred million dollars. My contribution here is a few Python scripts and some prompts. I'm sure other people working on this have the same or better ideas.
Somebody decided that the word "master" is bad enough to become taboo, so the same thing happening to "dead" is not particularly far-fetched.
This was a purposeful choice to demonstrate the extent of the clickbait/sensationalism problem. Both channels have only changed their thumbnail and title style in the last few months, and previously had great titles and thumbnails.

Edit: To clarify, when I say "clickbait" here, I am using it as a neutral term referring to any materials used to convince someone to click on a link. I understand that it is kind of a loaded term and it is not used anywhere in the extension itself because of this.

The title of this post seems to be taken from the satire title on my YouTube video demo. If you install the plugin and view the video from there, there is a better title. It was meant as a demo of the extension.
To me it sounds like the pricing model is not optimal. I guess in these situations, they could pay RH "a bit more" in exchange for a legal RHEL license covering those extra nodes. But if there was no such offer then it sounds like a lost opportunity.

Exactly. You use a lot of resources to send help on the other side of the world for people who volunteeringly went to bottom of the ocean knowing risks and just for fun.

But you don't use resources to help people who are forced to leave their country and now are drowning in the sea.
Everything is being "forced" nowadays. It's the content-less word du jour for "things I don't like".

> As long as the stock market punishes long term thinking this is what you will get.

I hate to have to ask this, but why is this not priced in? In a naive conception of the stock market, public knowledge that a company is screwing itself over is basically free money, and somebody should take that money and thereby push the stock price down. Why, again and again in tech, does that not happen? Is the slow decline simply too slow or what?
I concur. I find that the odds of an at-scale, full production version of such a system being implemented with what was shown to be available in the vessel is highly dubious.

Besides which, it's entirely possible as well that adhesive was progressively chemically compromised, with no attempts to measure it... I can think of myriad directions to investigate

Then again, I don't have access to schemata either.... So I should really just stop. It just kills me though, because this entire event has 'preventable but I didn't want to bother' written all over it.
Thixomolding is an incredible process, I'm glad it's becoming more utilized. It really is the best for lightweight, strong, and super thin parts like laptop chassis.

About 10 years ago I worked for a medical device company and we used thixo parts for a portable ultrasound system (think chunky laptop form factor). In my first few weeks, I had a proto part that needed a rework, so I chucked the thixomolded part into the bandsaw to chop it up, before the shop manager chewed me out for almost setting the shop on fire (who let this clueless engineer into my shop...etc etc). Magnesium dust is stupid flammable and burns incredibly fast and hot.

There were only a handful of vendors in the world at that time that had the capability to mold the size of parts we needed, it's a vastly different process to casting other metals, in part due to the hazards of the material itself. Warning to all overly ambitious framework owners: careful if you decide to chop or drill into that case!
I agree with you in principle and have often made a similar argument (https://hn.algolia.com/?query=whataboutism%20by:dang&dateRan...), but you broke the site guidelines badly with the name-calling and swipes here.

> So yes, that would be news to me. I'm asking for more information. If Caddy did not serve broken certificates, then I would appreciate clarification there so I know where to spend my energy.

This is not engaging in good faith.

> I am tracking that proposal and get daily notifications. It is only for short-lived certs.

It would make OCSP optional for all certificates. CRLs would be optional only for short-lived certs.
When we wrote Certbot, we thought (by analogy with prior practice) that many sysadmins would want to manually inspect certificates before deploying them! That's one reason that we kept old certificates around and used a symlink-updating system.

As it turned out, misissued and invalid certs account for an incredibly small fraction of Let's Encrypt's issuance volume (I'm going to say < 1/10⁸ offhand?) and manual inspection kind of gets in the way of automation, so the idea of separating these steps has come to seem kind of quaint, for me at least. I've also helped thousands of people on the Let's Encrypt forum and I think at most 2 have said they were interested in looking at their new certs' contents before starting to use them.
That is an extreme case, but some people are just naturally attention-seeking trolls. The right thing to do is to ignore them.
China being copied doesn't make them good.
IMHO the mathematical language is an impediment for learning math for exactly this reason. It's chock full of cryptic symbols with no obvious meaning that make it incomprehensible to anyone who has not taken years to learn it and also surprisingly difficult to enter into a computer. Math is hard to read because quill pens were difficult to use and much of the syntax was made up on the spot by people who were better at thinking mathematically than communicating ideas. But so many people have spent the effort to learn it that nobody wants to create a "dumbed down" version that a layman might understand.

It is kind of like everyone in the 60s decided that APL was the one true computer language and all interest in other languages died off entirely and when anybody complains about the syntax they are told that they just need to go to school for 4 years and they'll appreciate the beauty.
> Berkeley did what NPTEL is doing a decade ago

NPTEL has been doing this for a good 20 years now.

> EdX does so too

In my experience, EdX videos feel like the pop-sci version of the real course. Some excellent courses are 1:1 copies of OCW courses (6.0.31), but most others have been disappointing.

I transitioned from MechE to CS/ML, so I have spent a lot of time wading through sub-par Edx courses (and on other platforms), before finding the good ones by pure brute force.

> needs to so adversarial

My experience at American universities is that the professors and teachers are wonderful. But, the administration operates on ruthless profit seeking incentives, which often leads to worse outcomes for the nation as a whole. I am not adversarial per se. I just expected better from universities I deeply respect.

> virtually no one completes MOOCs. OCW and EdX

Which is exactly why I am a big advocate of just releasing the videos and assignments. Let people do it at their own pace, and quit at their own pace.

> NPTEL videos contain what in the US would be considered copyright violations on their slides. You cannot imagine how much effort OCW has to go into to avoid this.

Haven't thought of this. I might be a good point. Could you give an example ? I am not fully aware of the kind of copy right violations that occur on slides. Either ways, glad India treats IP laws with the kind of reckless abandon it deserves.
To that, I couldn't agree more.
Isn't there an argument on how AI is even more dangerous than nukes? Why would you regulate your own capabilities, unless you want to lose the inevitable AI cold war.
> “saving money” on tires

I suspect (anecdotally, n=1) that part of the problem comes from what TV/movie tropes have taught people a tire-failure looks like: Typically it's a slow-leak or very controllable effect. Actors have plenty of time to emote over it, the vehicle can be pulled-over to the side of the road without lots of filming-difficulties, and no need to bring in stunt-doubles. (Then that sets the stage for the haunted house or the rural diner-encounter or whatever.)

In contrast, dangerous or chaotic tire-failure doesn't get shown as much unless it's an action movie and somebody's using bullets or bombs or robot swords or whatever, things someone with bad tires doesn't expect to happen to them.
I’ve signed “you could die” waivers several times in my life. That might be more a commentary on the state of our legal system than on my level of risk-seeking.

I'm not in favor of banning alcohol. I just want to dispel the false notion that prohibition didn't "work", when it empirically did.

We shouldn't ban alcohol because it's a hamfisted way to reduce alcoholism and harms from alcohol abuse. However, the 1910s didn't exactly have functioning rehabilitation programs.
This supposed attack doesn't work on Twitter either (or Gmail, or anywhere else I can think of). The full URL doesn't get linkified because of the very contrived use of Unicode slashes in the username portion of the URL.
It’s not cos it’s processed but cos it is usually low on fat high on sugar.

Not everything that is processed is poisonous, and most “fresh” food today is full of chemicals or lacking in nutrients, so most food you would eat is not that healthy.

I had to spend also quite some time convincing managers that guy I propose will fit and then they still had to go through interviews and probation period.

That sounds very far away from nepotism. Nepotism is giving relatives or friends the job without any qualifications and/or treating them different.
In regards to the study you linked:

> Intelligence is here defined as the performance in psychometric tests in cognitive domains like verbal comprehension, perceptual reasoning or working memory. A consistent finding is that individuals who perform well in one domain tend to perform well in the others, which led to the derivation of a general factor of intelligence called g-factor

Whelp, I guess I broke the mold on this one. I have more than 1.5 standard deviations between some of my scores lol.

I do not put much faith in IQ tests to begin with. I do not think the tests are completely useless, but I do think their utility is vastly overstated and the meaning of one's results are highly misused.
For me it's a book I am reading now: Outlive, the science and art of longevity, by Peter Attia MD. The book is a summary of the many podcasts which I have been listening to for a couple of years now, a result of which I am happier, healthier (by arguably the right metrics), fitter, and better able to navigate life and the prospect of getting older. If you are over 40 I highly recommend it, and if you're over 50 it's a must read.

If I could sum up, I would say that so much of health and fitness is just trying to figure out the right thing to do - this book applies an appropriate level of skepticism to say what we know and what we don't on this subject, and teaches you how to assess for yourself what you need to do to improve your odds of a long healthy life. Finding it is like finally finding the a great text book on subject that you haven't been able to wrap your head around.
Have to call you out to give you credit, that was an elegant riposte.
Agreed, but they're too far behind. Japan is just too good at making video games, and in part I blame the attitude towards video games in the West (mostly US and UK).
Aand that's no one else's fault. Ms has been failing to publish good games for a couple of years.
I've never really used Debian in the past, so can't comment on the reality, just what I've heard, and even my Ubuntu experience is lacking. I'm running it as a virtual desktop now, but I try to keep my use of it to an MUA, web browser and terminals so I don't have to spend the time to become familiar with it, given it's got no other use for me so far.

Our director loves FreeBSD, and we actually use it for firewalls, so it's not a spectacularly hard sell. I'm not sure it's significantly different from the problems of Stream to make it worthwhile, at least not without some external patching and support entity in addition, but it's been a long time since I looked at the specifics of their packaging and ports systems. I don't actually mind something like Stream for a personal server actually. It's just when trying to manage a fleet in the tens and hundreds when it becomes a real liability and increased possible admin support load IMO.
I mean, businesses depend on each other all the time. So depending and not depending both make sense. Different risks though.

The response on sending rescue teams was high even before it got popular on the news. I remember reading some statements that "we sent everything we can" in the very first news.
Not just the spirit, the GPLv2 terms include:

So the reason for not using RHEL everywhere is the pricing model? I wonder whether it'd be possible for RH to optimize it so that choosing RHEL 'd still be the best option for them now that CentOS doesn't provide the same level of stability.

I'll just copy paste what I said in another comment:

>I'm not saying this is the morally right, "best" in the long term sense, or otherwise socially optimal choice, I'm just saying it's the standard IBM choice.
It will merely end in diminishing returns, no?
I prefer an explicit function call over compiler voodoo magic, especially when it comes to reactivity (of which can have performance implications). Any solution where a compiler is changing the semantics of my code on the fly is just a hard pass.
It's not like Red Hat planned and schemed to execute on Wayland as a plan for domination, but their decision to support Wayland as an existing project with technical merit staffed by skilled people might well have been tactical for the reason you mention.

Some people tend to imagine the first situation and rightly dismiss it as a post facto conspiration but the second situation is utterly realistic. They may even not have realized until much later how right they got.

And I say that as someone who is convinced we need something like Wayland, the sooner the better. But we also have to avoid being naive about how business is done.
Addendum:

Contemporary systems like the Neo-Geo did not have that
restriction and could render ROM data directly

...which was obviously advantageous for typical use cases! However, it came at a cost in flexibility. The NeoGeo could draw from ROM, but could not draw from video RAM.

Games on the Genesis and SNES could therefore use video RAM as sort of a makeshift kludgy framebuffer for polygonal games or for fancier raster effects. The Neo-Geo could do no such thing.

The Neo-Geo might have been able to given some custom hardware on the cartridge itself, with a cartridge-based CPU rendering data to RAM on the cart that was seamlessly mapped into the cartridge's address space. I have seen some wacky emulator projects that work this way, like DOOM on NES: https://hackaday.com/2019/06/06/doom-on-the-nes/
