> It seems dumb and it is dumb, but it’s also an important feature of Windows that your terrible app from the 90s can still run today with minor changes generally.

This is a myth which is mostly not true from some time.

You're welcome.

Would be even better if HN would automatically rewrite Twitter links to use the current workaround. Especially if the point is to foster discussion here around a single comment, no need to load the whole application.
Ah, neat. That is a cool feature I didn’t know cargo had!
Right, I'm confused what they are trying to accomplish gatekeeping others intent.
Nonsense, the boom didn't end because of the end of the gold standard, it was in decline long before that.

Sounds like cryptobros politics.
Americans are always working overtime to gimp the government in some meaningful areas and give it ultimate power in others.
That’s still invite only though right?
Wrong or right: it’s better to try to analyze Russia itself than to speculate about the psychology of one person.
And how much does that deposit need to be?
Since we’re speculating. I would imagine like just about all human experience, framing, priming and setting matter quite a lot.
There are? Japan (JAXA), India (ISRO), China (CNSA) and Russia (Roscosmos) all do science missions.
I've coined this "architecture archaeology" at work. The further you dig, you find a new technology in use, corresponding with new technical leadership.
Elon Musk blames ‘data scrapers’ as he puts up paywalls for reading tweets
I concur. For me the lack of an algorithm is a bug, not a feature, and the way bluesky lets you pick your own algorithms (via feeds) is an amazing improvement.

I am active on both Mastodon and BlueSky, but I'm finding my self way more on BlueSky lately.
This made me giggle because when they turned off the free API I was using to copy images from tweets I liked so I'd have a backup copy, I replaced my script with a selenium using one that surely costs twitter more in resources. All it does is load my liked page and scroll down for several minutes collecting media as it goes.
Is the Fedora Project also going to follow Red Hat in the same bad direction? I thought for the most part that it is community maintained and the upstream version of RHEL.
> Don't become a professional writer because "You have something to say," become a writer because "You have something other people want to hear."

I think this is terrible advice for doing great work, probably good advice for doing shallow work that gets you paid. Great does not (always) mean wealthy, popular or well liked. Plenty of writers went through life with people telling them they sucked and then eventually people got it. Look at Charles Bukowski for example.
Agreed. I’ve been doing C development for the last 10 years and I’ve never seen that. I would have put it inside a struct and returned that.

I hate those types of trick questions.
You write like they have some agenda to promote vitamin D3.

Instead, they publish both negative and positive results related to things they were interested in from the start. They find how things are.

The Finnish Vitamin D Trial (FIND) is very large randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 5-year supplementation study of the benefits and risks of vitamin D in the primary prevention of cardiovascular (CVD) and cancer among 18000 men 60 years or older and women 65 years or older. https://classic.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT01463813
Does oxide provide some sort of management software like openstack on top of the hardware?
Hahaha. If this caused it and it's actually googlw cutting them off this is beyond hilarious.
The “blackfish” documentary on one of sea world’s orcas talks about how they captured baby orcas. It’s pretty heartbreaking.

https://youtu.be/-zXMxBtBPJo

The most amazing part is how clever the orcas were while trying to avoid capture. The young and their mothers dove down deep and then swam towards a river where they surfaced while the other adults swam along the surface to lead the boats away. It’s hard to imagine a group of humans coming up with a better plan, and it’s hard to imagine how to execute that plan without some kind of language.

A more plausible explanation would be that they no longer have the engineering capability to maintain the site, or its prior attack resistance.

If there is any sort of novel scraping going on, and their only response is to shut down the site for all the accounts, their engineering capabilities have been pretty much zeroed out, and it's a massive indictment of the leadership decisions.

Plus, at this point believing anything that Musk says is extremely foolish. If this was something that was meant to believed, it would have been posted by somebody with more credibility in the organization who actually has something to lose by lying. That person is literally anyone except for Musk.
The battery pack on a Hummer EV is 1.5 tons by itself. The truck weighs 4.5 tons, and GVWR is a little over 5 tons.
I thought the military worked with Palantir, and Accenture, and Amazon, and Google, and Facebook, and ... Is this to say no one has produced advanced AI for the military? I find this hard to believe. Is it that persons in advanced positions are older, and don't themselves understand the actual problem space?

It feels a bit shallow, this pitch for more military funding. The DoD disappeared how many billions of dollars, for how many years? IMO, we need to see restructuring across the military and improved internal checks and balances before considering blindly throwing any more money into corrupt pockets.
I work for a manufacturing company that needs exactly two types of boxes, generic compute without storage that connects to a SAN, and GPU based servers.

COM was awesome tech! I wish we had an equivalent today.

I did a ton of python-com projects for a big aerospace company in the late 90's and it was amazingly easy to get a lot of well-integrated functionality for little time and effort. Really sad that it's not more common now.
You can check TI's Hercules Safety MCUs which has 2 MCUs which operate in lockstep. It guarantees the hardware faults I think.

In Railways I have seen two systems running on the same processing and doing a check of the results and then sending it out. If something is opposed then it fails gracefully and safely.
That'll never happen for two reasons, decentralization means a user-driven internet. It has to, even if corporations have the freedom to join, decentralization by default means any private person can host a part of it.

And when users host things they give of their own resources to other users, which means there is trust involved. And whenever trust is involved we need a better insight into who signs up. For example; request access with a bio, or a donation.

The other reason is that what you describe is centralized authentication, to a decentralized backend, so it defeats the purpose. Who owns the authentication?

If we want freedom from a corporate internet, we'll just have to bite the bullet and accept a certain learning curve.

Which is also why the centralized corporate services will never go away, and most likely remain a majority.
what are you using for generating wasm? tinygo or new go runtime support of wasm? what are the sizes of wasm binaries? last i checked helloworld was in the order of few MB's.
Maybe you’re misunderstanding my comment? I’m saying that the plants make places bad.
Alternatively, the costs outweigh impression revenue, they are actively running out of money, and trying to stall while desperately trying to find additional cash.
Based on the components I'm guessing a half million.

I'm not trolling, this probably is some effect of the psychoactives' field itself and thinking about it.

I am researching the topic about how signalling molecules find their intra- and extracellular targets amongst multiple potential "distractions" along their way.
What you describe as 'lock-and-key' or 'induced-fit' relationship is established only at the direct contact of a ligand with the receptor. While the ligand in vivo if not injected locally first needs to move fast through vast distances (relative to its size) until it reaches the receptor. It seems that it is just accepted for granted, as if the ligand "knew" where the receptor is.

Your link and explanation are very informative, it seems like this intramolecular hydrogen bond completes a "virtual" third heterocycle in the whole molecule.
While senolytic quercetin, for example, also has 3 benzene rings.

There's a doctor in my contacts who weighs heavily on heterocycles due to the delocalized electron they contain.
The game studio I did did many many things in linked lists or arrays still because literally searching an array is still much much faster than computing out hash algorithm when the total number of entries is less than a thousand and it gives you memory predictability. So generally when you're searching it almost all of it has been loaded into RAM especially if you limit the size of the items in the length list which games almost always do and you list limit the size of the array which games almost always do almost everything in a good game engine is fixed size arrays for repeatable performance. I was surprised by this as well when I moved from doing Ruby and Java apps into AAA game studio but the engineers were kind and explained it to me and showed me the math and I was like yep that is way faster. I also didn't appreciate the things like cash coherence that they highly leveraged to make every frame sing
>If your friends are close enough do you need a big corporate network to share content/thoughts? If they aren't close why do you care?

I don't personally have this problem, but my observation is that most social relationships are somewhere in between closest friends and don't care.

My own concern is more about participating in professional, neighbourhood, civil society or political communities. Choosing not to be where they have decided to congregate means not being able to do my job and not making my voice heard where many decisions affecting me are taken.
But email is the same as xmpp or DMs on "social media" - you can comunícate with various instances. the problem arise with groups (so mailing list, multi user chat or "communities") - in case of email you have mailing list which is not federated and is tied to particular server / address... same issue so it wasn't exactly solved. it's just it's used slightly differently.
I'm working at Deno, mostly on the open-source version so I can clarify a bit. The open-source code of Deno runs in Deploy, but some APIs are disabled and others are adapted for cloud use (ie: Kv works in CLI and Deploy, but is distributed on Deploy).

Under the hood Deno Deploy is just Deno with scale built in. It's obviously not a simple soundbite but I recently built the new Deno.serve API implementation and the same code effectively runs in the CLI and Deploy modulo what's necessary to get it working in the Deploy environment.
> Source?

Well, generally men do the proposing, and as far as I am aware, most proposals are successful. So if the number of marriages are declining, then it means men are not proposing—either they are uninterested in getting married, or they are but don’t reach a point in their relationships where they believe a proposal would be successful. Not sure what the distribution of those is.
Is openAI (and all new upstart model training data scrapers) really this scary to Twitter's existence? I understand that their desire to scrape all of your content for free is absolutely total bullshit, and I actually find myself sympathetic to this. So I get the rate limit idea, but can you really not detect a bot vs a user?
Note that Lumberyard became "Open 3D Engine" (yes, very inspired name) which is Apache 2 licensed:

AFAIK all development in Lumberyard has ceased and moved to O3DE.
I find it hilarious Mastodon is more stable than one-instanced Twitter run by some madness tech-maniac.
For ESP chips in general, the Rust on ESP Book [0] is pretty solid. Little short. I've been playing with writing a Watchy firmware in Rust (Watchy uses the dual-Xtensa ESP32-PICO-D4), and this was a great starting point.

its very possible. though im also skeptical than sailors in indonesia would think to log onto that website to report such an incidence. so still seems highly possible to me that it was super big news among sailors in the Iberian peninsula and now, only near there, are you getting consistent reports because those people know to report
That seems plausible. Which is incredibly sad.
From the article:

> this new landscape demands more than just new laws. It also requires a new category for psychedelics. Are they recreational drugs? Are they medicines? Are they religious sacraments?

I'm asking why we can't just answer this question with "They are psychedelics".
Why not write about launches? It is not every day ESA launches a telescope to a Lagrange point after all.
They've not yet shown any sign of being a danger to the hull as far as I know. They pretty often break the rudder off leaving the boat difficult to control. Most long distance sailors would carry some kind of emergency rudder arrangement but more casual coastal types don't usually.

Speculation among sailors is that "hey, did you know you can break bits off those things?" is as plausible an explanation as any.

There are known ways to scare orcas off but it's illegal to distress them and nobody really wants to. I certainly don't.
Looks like we need some "Blue Sky thinking"!
I count one dependency, on wazero itself.

Also, the Go SDK. There is also the OS and the hardware.

I think what they mean to say is that their module has no additional dependencies on other modules. But, how much should users care? Go is pretty good at managing dependencies and they’re okay within reason.

It seems like an odd way to name your module? I guess it shows commitment. But if they later decide on adding a dependency, they could rename it.
I’m speechless as a regular user. This is so dumb, sure Twitter will die within a year or twos.

> Can we also have it closed on Sundays?

I'm getting flashbacks to the awful luddite boomer propaganda Spielberg crowbarred into the end of "Ready Player One" where he made the online virtual world closed on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
The %.* example is so close to hitting its single most useful application:

char *something; /* no null termination */
size_t something_length;

printf("%.*s", (int)something_length, something);

Unfortunately, the .* argument has type (int), not size_t, and it's signed… but if that's not a problem this is a great way to format non-\0-terminated strings.

(And of course you can also use it to print a substring without copying it around first.)
This is awesome!

I adore SQLite and always find bringing in extensions to a new machine a bit annoying.
It's more like reinventing Sun with an uglier exterior but yes.
I bet the original uploader hasn't deleted the video from their phone. Just need to reach out to them that there's a real demand for the raw file.

Edit: Thinking it over, I hate to agree that the compression is too strong. It's too grainy to see if there was something there, like a powerline wire, that was lit up instead of thin air.
Shameless plug: https://www.osti.gov/servlets/purl/1892137

TLDR; If you provide even more functions through the overloaded headers, incl. "hidden ones", e.g., `__cudaPushCallConfiguration`, you can use LLVM/Clang as a CUDA compiler and target AMD GPUs, the host, and soon GPUs of two other manufacturers.
My take: Oxide is for companies who want to buy compute, not computers.

They take the idea of "hyperconvergence" - building a software platform that's tightly integrated and abstracts away the Hard Parts of building a big virtualized compute infrastructure, and "hyperscaling" - building a hardware platform that's more than the sum of its parts, thanks to the idea of being able to design cooling, power, etc. at a rack scale rather than a computer scale. Then they combine these into a compute-as-a-unit product.

I, too, am a bit skeptical. I think that they will absolutely have the "hyperconvergence" side nailed given their background and goals, but selling an entire rack-at-a-time solution at the same time will be hard. But I have high hopes for them as it seems like a very interesting idea.
Given that, it seems like fun and pleasure are probably safer than medicinal.
I have never, ever met a yachtsman who wants to carry any kind of anti orca weaponry. Let's not exaggerate here.
For the longest time I thought Bluesky was just another euphemism for Twitter, like this site is sometimes called Orange Site. I don't see it becoming the next Twitter; if anything Mastadon has the best chance except I always misspell it.
This is info siloing and info blackout. Is the US about to go to war?
One of our core product goals is to actually allow relatively hot swapping of individual compute sleds. It's true that each sled is an x86 server, but there's control software managing the whole rack as a unit, with live migration of workloads and replicated storage. The architecture of the whole thing leans towards treating sleds as essentially like CPU and memory (and storage) boards in previous generations of large scale computers like mainframes.
There will be cost and consequence of moderation, with very limited benefit given its content subscription model.
There's an unspoken aspect of the word "important" here — important to you, or important to the world (society, etc)?

From Hamming:

"I thought hard about where was my field going, where were the opportunities, and what were the important things to do. Let me go there so there is a chance I can do important things."

It seems he is talking about the important to the world aspect. He wants to have a big impact on the world, and be where the action is. The goal is to make a name for yourself, or to at least have a hand in the next big transformations.

But there is also the "important to you" aspect. In Hamming's case, those two notions of importance align. But not so for everyone.

Quoting again:

"I went home one Friday after finishing a problem, and curiously enough I wasn't happy; I was depressed. I could see life being a long sequence of one problem after another after another."

So, he is happiest when working on problems that have big "important" implications for the world. Good for him; I'm glad he discovered that about himself, and followed what made him happy.

So now for my actual point: I'd encourage a person to actually first and foremost focus on what is important to them personally — what makes them happy — rather than what seems "important" from some external perspective.

I think a lot of people will decide, like Hamming did, that they want to be where the action is, that they want to participate in transforming the world, that that is what makes them happy. But to put that choice on a pedestal as though it is the True Goal — to put "important to society" above "important to oneself" is putting the cart before the horse. It's how you get a bunch of unhappy people chasing after other people's dreams.

It's actually somewhat touched upon in TFA, with:

"The following recipe assumes you're very ambitious."

Indeed — like Hamming was. But not everyone is, and not everyone needs to be to be happy. I am just slightly irked by our somehow reserving the word "great" for ambitious people's accomplishments.

Yeah Nostr is cool but like others have pointed out, there's an even steeper learning curve. And besides that, Nostr claims to be censorship proof, which sounds cool on the surface but will inevitably lead to a cesspool of hate and personal attacks.
OK, but let's define "just" :=)
This 600 tweets/per-whatever strategy certainly is an interesting approach to cutting cost.
Following on from this, I imagine that being able to synthesise atom-level (or at least indistinguishable) copies of priceless works of art of great significance could also provide a path towards resolving diplomatic disputes, such as in the case of the Elgin Marbles.

I wonder if they made this decision because data said revenue from subscriptions from power users could be a lot more than ads.

Reducing dependency on ads, reducing bots & creating their own LLM on top of twitter data may not be a bad idea.
> Even so, is there really something that can be done with macros that can't be done, just as elegantly, with simple state machines, or object composition style in other languages?

Many simple macro use cases are covered by lightweight lambda syntax, reflection, or language constructs, e.g. Go's defer, Python's with, and C#'s using. Complex macros can create DSLs or rewrite code for optimization, though. Series[0] is a Common Lisp library that rewrites lazy streams into an imperative loop. LOOP[1] and ITERATE[2] are DSLs for iteration. Schelog[3] embeds Prolog inside of Scheme. Serde[4] generates serialization code.

Here are some old threads on the Lightweight Languages mailing list that discuss use cases for macros. Participants include Trevor Blackwell, Paul Graham, Dave Moon, Todd Proebsting, Guy Steele, Dan Weinreb, and many others.

Adopting a no-code mindset (as a developer)
The "3 Sixes", 6-pack, 6 feet tall and 6 figure salary, any two of those three tend to give you a very good chance of success.
I have seen SysGo's PikeOS being used in Railway signalling systems. Also Threadx in Military Aerospace and Medical devices. Micrium in medical devices.
Some categories are explored or unexplored because either they didn't have a compelling, defining entrant like smart watches or they're Chindōgu like flying cars and VR.

Build something that's currently painful you know there's a definite need for and people would gladly pay money for. Solving a burning pain is far more compelling than incrementally better with the gotcha of introducing the risk of change.

The biggest mistake people make is not letting things soak in a lean, passive income marketable way. They'll build something, shake the trees for customers for a little while, and then turn it off 3 months later when they're not instant internet billionaires. Not working would be 15 years later <$10k/year net profit. Let it simmer with as little engineering investment as possible. Never waste time on churn for churn's sake, or effort that doesn't add end-user UX value.
Exactly like in Total Recall when Cohaagen cuts off the air.
Noticed this earlier but didn't realize how intentional it was until now.
Since Musk claims the account-wall for guests will be lifted eventually, I wonder how this rate-limit will be enforced for those browsing without an account. If by IP address, guests using any somewhat popular VPN would have permanently maxxed out limits. If it is done with some sort of guest cookie / ID, then it will be instantly evadable by clearing cookies. I believe this is similar to what you can do with Quora's account-wall.
I am very curious to see what happens.
