Okay, I sincerely apologize for not saying that "every company in North America" has failed. I probably just figured that since this whole conversation is about the North American Charging Standard it was implied. But you are right. There are companies in Europe that have succeed. Maybe Mars too? Haven't been there, not driving my NACS car there, but you can win that argument too, if you like.

And the plug is mechanically different in that it has one fewer pin due too... drum roll please... no 3-phase support. But it is mechanically different, so you can win there too, if you like. Look at you! Winning all the pedantry awards today. So much fun. I mean, we're not having a damn conversation about anything, just arguing over every single word I say that you can possibly find an issue with, but to some people, this is as much fun as you can have.

Pi is exactly 3.
I just use a load of nested folders in my `Documents` directory. I keep a `_dirinfo.txt` in each one explaining what it contains. If I see something I haven't used in ages and don't expect to need again, I move it to an `old/` directory and forget about it. And I keep my miscellaneous notes in an obsidian vault.
> The fact that there is no such thing is strong evidence that they've already hit the economical sweet spot.

It would only be evidence for that if there were multiple strong competitors to youtube that use similar methods. The dearth of competition suggests that other forces are the cause.
Is this being driven by good intentions? It looks like they are jamming the latest AI hotness into a feature without taking much time at all to think it through or implement things well.
I kinda disagree. There's clearly a cap, where you can't spend anymore to get any better/more powerful cards. At competitive levels, it really doesn't matter. Every kid that plays hockey needs $500+ in gear, but you wouldn't call hockey pay to win. So what if everyone that plays "competitive" magic needs $500 to build out a deck, that's just the cost, it doesn't escalate wildly from there. There is also the very popular sealed draft that all the local joints run. Yeah its pay to play cuz you gotta buy 3 sealed packs. but in no way is it pay to win.
> I am not free to criticise or satirise

What are you talking about? Is this some sort of metaphor? Will anyone arrest you if you criticize of satirize? Where's that? In the western world?

I'm aware that in Germany you can get in prison if you are a Holocaust denier. In a few other countries too. The US does not have a lot of patience with Holocaust deniers. You will not get in legal trouble in the US, because of the freedom of speech. But the US will not move a finger if a country in its sphere of influence passes a law making Holocaust denying a crime.

But other than that, what type of criticism or satire can get you arrested?

Maybe your fear is of being "cancelled". But this is a cultural thing, not a legal thing. What exactly would you like the US to do?

I got banned from Twitter for putting Elons image as my profile pic and tweeting a friend asking if he wanted a job. It was a dumb joke but I got banned

In the email, they said “Note that if you attempt to evade a permanent suspension by creating new accounts, we will suspend your new accounts.”

So now I’m 100% banned from twitter if I follow the rules.
LESS and SASS but I imagine you mean significantly different and not just “dialects.”

The PS1/PS2/PS3 controllers were never great for people with bigger hands, but I've noticed people that really dislike them seem to try to hold them with a full palm grip.

If you have big hands it can be a lot more comfortable to instead kind of wrap your fingers around the grips but not make contact with your palms (kind of like it's a SNES controller with some extra finger grips). I don't know if this is the intended way to do it, but it feels good to me.
It's only the press clinging onto this - TSMC themselves refer to it as N3B, N3E, N6/N7 etc, Intel's process is 10ESF or Intel 7, all without putting the "nm" there.

It's still useful to roughly group different foundry processes, but nobody who is actually paying the $100mm++ to use these processes is relying solely on rough grouping.

Well, disk space has consistently gotten cheaper, so for me it's c:\old_drive_2020\old_drive_2016\old_drive_2010 ... :P

IMO first you want to:

1. Gauge how likely you are to need things, and to split them apart on that basis. Don't bother organizing stuff that doesn't (yet, perhaps ever) need organizing.

2. Determine which things you can filename/text-search for if you need them, versus which things _need_ a good folder-organization because they are not easy to index or find metadata for.

I feel no shame having my MIDI collection from the 90s buried somewhere inside "Old Music" if I never really end up looking at it.
They’ve done fine with these employees for the last while. Trimming the fat is healthy, especially when Twitter has historically over-hired hard for no reason other than “growth for growth’s sake”.

There’s lots of legitimate reasons to criticize, but making a more efficient company and firing valueless employees is not one of them.
What would rising levels of being lifted out of poverty suggest? The equality gap doesn’t count for much if you starve or freeze to death, and poverty is declining world wide.

Thanks for acknowledging these man and being a voice of reason. So many ignorant opinions and deliberate attempts to ignore injustice in this thread.
I'm kinda curious how you back yourself from hallucinations or uncontrolled behaviour of your chatbots ? Do you use some kind of SLA ?
Anyway good work !
That's explains trying to see some links earlier. Twitter is officially dead for me then. RIP.
So... no more free iced tea for a 5 star review?
It feels like the "natural" development of VC funded websites - they offer a service that's heavily subsidized and losing money hand over fist to displace other services (I guess in Reddit's case it was self-hosted forums and similar?).

But that's clearly not sustainable, it's inevitable they'll pivot to monetizing the service - and that's clearly going to make it less attractive than the heavily-subsidized version people have gotten used to.

I guess the ideas is to lock the users in to the degree that the increasing monetization is put up with, and slowly enough there's no "sticker shock" of a previously-free service suddenly having a price.

I'm constantly amazed people are surprised by this, isn't it obvious that tying to a loss-leader service isn't sustainable?
Thanks!

What is your 'win' rate? (Percentage of trades that make money as a fraction of overall trades)?

How many trades does your system make on average in a given day?

Do you hold positions overnight?
Lobby Capitalism is what went wrong. It turns out that the most effective return on investment isn't to make the best product for the lowest price.
Unless someone was pulling in everything to build a new AI dataset or something like that then I'm filing this in the "bots bots bots" stuff from the takeover - a real problem that is completely blown out of proportion.

This costs money, especially at scale. As much as people hate it, nobody has solved the problem of how news organizations or most digital content platforms can actually make money.
It's not merely a matter of stockpiled firearms, because, well, you know how it goes: "guns don't kill people".

I think it's also a matter of urban gangsta warfare going on since time immemorial. The organized crime is rampant, and while the races change, the adversaries stay more or less the same. Since the 80s or so, you've had Crips and Bloods and everyone in between, with all their rap-video braggadoccio, ready to have a showdown with police at the drop of a hat. Ice-T, 2Pac, NWA, the flames have been stoked, and I mean, I guess it's not their fault, because it takes two to tango. The police have geared up and gotten ever-more militarized and hostile to ordinary citizens, wielding technology to match. So there's been an escalation.

And that's why we have #BlackLivesMatter today. Not because cops are inherently evil and shooting innocents on purpose, but because both sides have been warring for decades, and that makes for itchy trigger fingers.

So I think if pranksters are misusing SWAT teams for hoaxes and weaponizing them against their Fortnite adversaries, then perhaps it's a wake-up call to have a ceasefire, a disarmament, and both sides (or all sides) to stand down and rethink why we're all here.
Weren't there trade unions back then, preventing a certain amount of competition? I'm not sure those days were some golden age of healthy market competition.
Lots of podunk towns have police who engage in paramilitary cosplay [1]. All reinforced by surplus sales of military equipment they don't need.

I tried Apollo early on and it was a bit too bare-bones.

After all the news, I gave it another whirl for the past month and it’s very nice. After previously using the official app, it was a breath of fresh air to see a native video player, native share sheets, and so much more. Super nice, useful details like image counts on galleries. Such a shame that Reddit’s huge team is actively working in the opposite direction.

Amazing work, Christian. Really unfortunate that Reddit has gone in this direction and truly shameful and disgusting how they’ve handled it.

There are plenty of these cool kidz clubs for elites, like your local polo club, country club, golf club, sailing/yacht club, skiing & snowboarding club etc.

AA is such a silly band aid solution that only benefits rich, while the optimal solution should be to lift lives of all poor people across the board.

There may be more than one thing. Capitalism as an information processing system is quite slow. Computers can be faster.
I mean—your response just now was snarky also. I don't think you were responding to the strongest plausible interpretation of what I said, either.

I'd say what's not clear to me is what to avoid in the future. I'm not trying to be difficult here—and dang is one guy dealing with the internet version of a city, to be sure—but I see sarcasm all the time on HN. The really toxic, demeaning stuff, sure, that has to go. In this case, it never even crossed my mind that what I said would be interpreted as targeting the person I was replying to. (While I wouldn't have flagged it, your snarky response, by contrast, was pretty clearly targeting me.)

Looking over the thread—and HN in general—there are no end of snarky posts, including yours, and especially in regards to wealthy tech guys like Musk. The vast majority of them are permitted. That's what I mean by "selectively." Going by your interpretation, no snark would be welcome at all; if that isn't the case, which I didn't have the impression it was, then what was it about my post that warranted a response more than the others?

Genuine question. I can observe consistent rules, but I'm not seeing consistent application of this one.
I think most countries have their equivalent, you have some keywords that make the call be handle by the highest force possible I guess
Is getting up and going to pee during an ad break the same as piracy? Do I steal half the content if I close my eyes during the ad? What about muting and switching tabs? Do I pay with my inconvenience if I do it manually? Is this just about the creator getting paid, or about the poor company that's advertising to me as well?
Wikipedia seems to do fine though.
I keep wondering what form the regulation would actually take. How would regulators decide on what is OK and what is “too smart”.
> That's probably close to 99% of HN users

Projection probably. I use my twitter account so seldom, I'm definitely in the 1%.

But then, I'm probably in the 0.5% who if HN happens to be down, will check back the following day instead of worrying.
everything post 2008 was a 0% interest rate phenomenon, now all these tech companies have to find a way to turn a profit rather than running as zombie companies with fake valuations propped up by cheap VC money. It's going to take years for this to all shake out and a lot of "best practices" are now invalid

it's not a coincidence that all these companies are locking down APIs, fighting against scraping, and doing other cost cutting measures at the expense of users, all at the same time. You can't raise money easily anymore, so showing revenue is more important than user count or other fluff metrics
So can HN ban twitter.com submissions now that they require a twitter account to view? Please?

It turns out that most people are terrible at using the tools, and there's even research about this right now

Thanks – this was a surprisingly fun paper to read. The authors are all CS researchers (and good ones – Björn Hartmann does a lot of great work in this area in particular) but I'd love to see some behavioral scientists tackle it at some point too.

I haven't got a citation but the concept initially reminded me of some studies from ~20 years ago where academics were wondering if the public would ever be able to use search engines effectively and how people's mental models could adapt to do so. All these years later, I'm not entirely sure if the public ever really did adapt, or if it was just the search engines that did..
I was under the impression that those were tools to generate css (I get the practicality), but is there even another one that has been proposed but never added to browsers?

The expectation that an emergency can be signaled from a single phone call is reasonable (barely one step up from shouting "help"). Objecting the resulting behavior of the emergency response is not relevant to the predictably effective practice.
I'd be careful using ChatGPT for this. I tried the same recently to bootstrap spot yields from par, which is a fairly common code problem with hundreds of examples online. ChatGPT couldn't do it. It produced code that looked right, but would fail my tests abysmally. I ended up writing it by hand. I hope you are validating their code with known data.

TCM is one of the few cable channels that remains true to its original purpose. The "old movies channel" still shows old movies in an era where the "sports channel" is filled with sports-themed cable news style yelling matches, the "music channel" is almost all crappy reality TV shows, the "history channel" is filled with stupid conspiracy theories and crappy reality TV shows, the "news channels" are filled with yelling matches and partisan propaganda and even the "cartoon channels" sometimes air programming that isn't appropriate for elementary school aged children.

The only other cable channel I can think of that remains as committed to its original purpose as TCM is C-SPAN which still airs neutral and non-partisan coverage of politics as it happens (which is usually more boring than watching paint dry but very useful whenever something big and important is actually happening). So it is not good news that Warner Bros management, fresh off destroying a bunch of works of art for a tax writeoff, is now turning its attention to TCM to "fix" a channel that isn't broken. We all know where that slippery slope ends if/when they decide TCM "needs to draw higher ratings to increase ad revenue": a weekly All Elite Wrestling program on TCM (not unprecedented given that NBC once aired a WWE program on the science fiction channel).
Sure, they've got the numbers. But there's no life.

Again your ad hominem and baseless assumptions are irrelevant.

Net benefit - is your made up argument.

Is this “net benefit” in the room with you right now? Perhaps you could quantify it, if you could find any
No, that was a separate incident: https://www.theregister.com/2020/12/16/solarwinds_github_pas...

From what I can tell, all we know is that the attackers definitely got into their build system (since the trojan was signed), and we know they moved laterally through exploits in various Microsoft products: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_United_States_federal_gov...
IIUC it's federated,not decentralized. Still pretty good but if a server drops offline it will be pretty inconvenient. The communities on that server will be dead.

Matrix does better as the rooms are decentalized so can continue even if the creating server drops offline. But user accounts are still only federated.
Give it for a white person to talk about guilt and race, as if everything had to be centered around how white people feel. That exactly itself is racism. It’s pretty simple, injustice was perpetuated by the dominant group against other groups. It still exists today as well as its effects. The dominant group got to dictate the prestige culture, the policies, the norms, enforce its ways.

If you want to support good goals and justice, you must be in support of policies to combat this injustice. And it begins with acknowledging that by being part of a dominant group there are benefits, and being part of a marginalized group there are disadvantages. If you refuse to acknowledge these things, it’s similar to choosing to ignore injustices happening currently.

> Do you ever read stories about good police officers?

I could do 10 really nice things a day for you all week long, but if on Saturday I rape your whole family you're not going be happy with me. This isn't about keeping score, it's about making sure that things that should never happen don't, and that when things do go wrong the police are held accountable for their actions, and meaningful steps are taken to prevent situations like that from happening again. Cops don't get to save up enough "nice points" that they still get our support after they murder one of us and get away with it again, and again, and again.

Once the problems that allow the abuses by police to persist start to be addressed trust between the police and the people they've been abusing will improve, but until that happens, the "good cops" who are sitting in a barrel full of rotten apples will just have be patient with us when we're embittered and skeptical after seeing example after example, week after week, of what the "bad cops" have been doing.
CISO's are often hired for the purpose of having an executive head to cut. They'll commonly report to the CIO, but have c-suite titles or employee designations (at-will in some states). It's a stressful position with a lot of legal responsibility and little organizational influence and authority.
Which is a bad idea. They should be using the damn emergency alert system.

The writing was on the wall, but as a user for a decade+ opening it to see "No threads here. Tap to refresh." is a little jarring
Both? I'm getting a constant stream of data via the websocket. As data comes in it gets added to the large in-memory object, and then once I have X number of trades, I'll go and build the candlestick bar. As soon as that bar builds, it triggers the BUY loop to inspect it, and see if it matches what I'm looking for. If it does, it send a buy order out to the IB API. I'm not ranking anything. I'm just looking to see if that matches and then buy. So, I have something that tracks the total money I have, and if I have any free money (and we don't already own that stock), it makes a bet. That's the logic. I wish I had some ranking logic but that's what it's doing.

That logic is happening for 5500+ stocks all in real-time which is pretty insane. But, it works really really well. Go is amazing. At market open and close there is like 60k+ events per seconds across trades and quotes. So, that loop is processing like 60k events at times, and building each stock out, and then looking to see if we should buy/sell.
