Does DomainNetworks actually provide some kind of service? It seems to me that they could evade prosecution if they do actually provide a service, even if it's trivial and low-effort, and they can hide behind the ambiguity of their "billing" practices that in fact they are simply a solicitation for service.

I have seen this before, where a company will offer promotional services such as putting a business in the Yellow Pages or SEO listings in all the major engines, and it's a legit service that anyone could offer, but they make it appear like you already have a relationship with them, and therefore an obligation to "keep paying" them.
Unfortunately, the indie web is very, very dev oriented. That’s because people who care about having personal websites are more often than not developers and they like to talk about development. And as a result of that you get a ton of web related content.

But there’s also something else. As mentioned in another post I maintain a list of weird links you can browse at random if you want to do some browsing https://theforest.link/

I try to include sites that are “different” and I also try to avoid having too much dev oriented content. But I warn you that you might stumble on some weird content.
I hope AI solves this for us universally very soon. So much content is spoken word and it takes 4 times as long to get information from this format.
I’d say number four should be first in your list. Had they not been sensible they might not even have found this deposit, nor would they have had a massive sovereign fund. They’d been buried in rusty lambos and warlord money.
Yeh, I meant 1440p. 16:10. Was not aware these were referred to as 2.5k, thanks! I actually have a 32” one so no scaling is required and I think it only takes about 30W so it doesn’t feel like I’m sitting in front of a heater in summer. Honestly, anything below 50W is fine. My biggest gripe really is that it takes 7 seconds to turn on.
> Humans just aren't very good at ranking things on a normal distribution

Anecdotally this feels correct, the more common user rating distributions I see are an inverted bell curve - lots of 5's and 1's, not too many 3's.

But as far as the same problem that plagues every other review system goes, I would say the paid/fake reviews are the far bigger problem.
I think what you looking for is "task tracing" not really stack tracing. The relationship between the task (like where was a task added in the thread pool) are not reflected in the stacktrace the way you want them.
To address those, you need to have special handshake between the debugger and your task api. You can also instrument the "add_task" function call to log every time a task is added to you queue and do some some offline stack stiching.
Getting wasted on Listerine or Nyquil, et al is not unheard of. I happen to have a condition, independent of any medication, where Advil makes me very high. It's a strange painkiller high where I laugh uncontrollably, get dizzy, and get the standard benefits of minor pain relief, as well as slight indigestion (common for ibuprofen).

I got 19 miles away with my first guess, the map zoomed in and I thought "that's a weird bug", zoomed it out, and then proceeded to guess other guesses that were hundreds of miles away. Interesting concept, but poorly communicated.
> is a horrendous mistake and many generations of physicists have been brainwashed by being taught this aberration

The synathroesmic writing style and inapt analogies obfuscates the claims along with distracting and detering others from refuting them, but does not make them true.

Angles are defined in the abstract realm of mathematics not physics, which use them to describe physical phenomenon. In Cartesian space, the basis dimensions are defined using fixed perpendicular oriented lines, called coordinate lines on coordinate axes. Angles are not a basis dimension and as defined in Cartesian space are dimensionless. Angles are a dependent measure. Arc length is measured based on the units of the system. x radians or x degrees cannot be physically measured in and of themselves. In coordinate systems using an angle as a basis like spherical coordinates, angles exist as a dimension and the unit for them is free to chosen. Once the units are chosen, then the angles can be physically measured.
Certainly not in the entirety of those areas. I've worked in a couple of them and functionality was a higher priority than performance and we picked our tools accordingly.
The fact that such a depressingly ignorant comment gets upvoted makes me reconsider whether HN is really "my tribe". :(
Sounds like it’s not the norm for the dude I was responding to.

Hard and fast filters aren’t good for human relationships.

The point is change it up a bit. Online dating in particular is a business designed to get you pay for online dating. People specify people like they configure a laptop and establish an unachievable vision of the perfect partner.

Imagine discarding a person who was the perfect match for you because she was 5’8” (filter says 5’7” or less) and says maybe kids someday.
Isn't P always the same? Or is it shared before the exchange?

Edit: just looked it up and the base point for curve25519 is x=9 so no point in recovering it.
A proper monetary policy would ensure price stability and predictable inflation. Bitcoin price has been all over the place, and its volatility makes it both a bad investment and a bad currency.
Goodreads was a profitable business based on affiliate marketing links mostly to amazon. Amazon bought them to save money (basically the profit that GR was making). It didn’t just make sense from a protect our core business perspective it also made sense from a straight monetary perspective.
Just to elaborate, as I was confused about this and had to look it up: BF16 is indeed designed to just be a truncated F32: you can grab the top 16 bits of a F32 value and it'll still "make sense": the sign bits are in the same place in both (unsurprisingly), and the exponent part of BF16 and F32 are both 8 bits. In the case of the mantissa, you end up grabbing the top 7 bits of the F32's 23-bit mantissa, so it all works out, as this will "round" the value toward zero.
There's a big performance difference between creating the Cartesian product and then filtering for the conditional, and creating the conditionals directly. An inner join with equi join conditions creates the conditions directly; any non equi join conditions actually have to be evaluated
I don't want to speak for GP, but I doubt it's coincidental. Many if not most people's first exposure to "rationalism" was via Yudkowsky's Harry Potter fanfic. There's a pretty decent rundown of rationalism's history in Extropia's Children [1].

Thanks for making that course. It was on my list of courses to look at since GPT-4 recommended it (with all the caveat that entails :) ). Thanks for also making notebooks available alongside the videos.

However, can you point me to the lectures where training happen (and architecture choices, hyperparam selection, and debugging happens.). I'm less familiar with SD but at a quick glance it seems like we're using a pretrained model and implementing bits that will eventually be useful for training but not training a new model, at least in the beginning of the deep dive notebook and first few lessons (starting at part 2, lesson 9).

I think you may be applying an extreme case to the general population. Very few people are waking up with a hangover from 1-3 beers with dinner, and for those people it seems like it would be a very quickly self-resolving problem.

On the other hand, if someone's waking up on a Monday with a hangover because they had 300 ml of whiskey on a Sunday night, they're not representative of the general population, they're an alcoholic.
Yes. The 78-year-old Pulitzer-prize winner with forty years of tenure, several fellowships, multiple books in every library in the country, who spent his entire life trying to develop AI software, is merely "worried" that AI is going to "put people like him out of a job".

He's explicitly expressing a deep existential sadness at how computationally simple certain artistic endeavors turned out to be and how that's devalued them in his mind but at the end of the day it's really just about his paycheck.

Also I'm totally here trying to sell you his books.

Nice job, Diogenes. Your cynicism cracked the case.
I think nobody wants to deal with the issue of moderating for the random members of the general public, other than surveillance-capitalism organizations like Google and Reddit.

I could see a university hosting a Mastodon instance for their own students, though. Moderation is probably a little easier if you have the person’s real name.
Yes. Whenever I hear that a company (or a person) is "valued at" something, I know that number that follows is not likely to bear any relationship with reality.
Unrelated but shouldn’t we adjust the unicorn definition? Everything is increasing thanks to inflation so we should make the unicorn title more expensive.

I’m half joking obviously but the 1B valuation doesn’t seem all that rare anymore.

Maybe 10B?

I’m inclined to agree with you, but I’m extremely suspicious of most cost analyses. It’s pretty rare to see one that isn’t written to support a preexisting ideology.
The cross-product plus predicate is referenced in "A join is a nested loop over rows".
I worked next to the founders a decade ago and tried the first versions of the project (before Apple acq). Loved the concept, but it hasn't really lived up to the promise.
> So which of these two mutually exclusive options is it? As I understand it, that was the question.

Well the stack_entry/stack_trace object can be moved around between thread, as in the object itself is copyable and movable.
However, the handle_type is implementation defined, so it might be the case that extracting the information out of the object only works on the producing thread.
Here's a list of July whoishiring posts with job compensation listed in the post https://grepwhoishiring.com/
No, the claim is that "no one can believe that AI leads to doom AND not work tirelessly to tear down the machine building the AI". It's unfalsifiable because there's no way for him to gain knowledge that this belief is false (that they do genuinely belief in doom and do not act in the manner he deems appropriate). It's blatantly self-serving.

I could see this kind of thing maybe 50 years ago, but the schools have been actively letting in many minorities for years. So many of the legacies are legacies of minorities. It's not all a bunch of New England white protestants.
Mmmm. America is giving you plenty of modern unregulated side effects, you don't need china to whip.
Well you don't have to sacrifice any sticks or bridges to see what happens, so that's a plus.

One could imagine stimulating experiments that are implausible to actually perform.
the best thing about watching the entire quantum computing debacle is every time somebody says their QC does something faster than a classical computer, somebody tunes the classical computer to beat the QC. Combined with the fact that chip infrastructure is already paid for and there is a large market to enable economy of scale, coupled with the lack of true problems where exponentially better problem solving is critical to business or military success, means we're going to see a series of QC claims that really just prop up classical computers for some time.

(I used to work in supercomputing and chemistry and await the day we have useful QCs doing simulation better than what we can do on supercomputers)
Sounds like a prime reason to build a new Glomar Explorer.
Yeah, even driving the display at 4K, you start to notice the higher pixel fill factor for 8K displays above 48in. I love my 65in 8K Q900 - even though it mostly lives at 4k (120hz!).
Because then no one would buy it.
From the article linked by parent:

«To summarize, I think that arguing with skeptics is not only amusing but extremely useful. It could be that quantum computing is impossible for some fundamental reason. So far, though, I haven't seen an argument that's engaged me in a really nontrivial way.»

«Very little of what we do in theoretical computer science is directly connected to a practical application. That's just not what we're trying to do. Of course, what we do has applications, but indirectly. We're trying to understand computation. If you take that as our goal, then it seems clear that starting from the best physical theories we have is a valuable activity. If you want to ask a different question, such as what we can do in the next five to ten years, then, that's fine. Just make it clear that's what you're doing.»
Being able to work/watch a movie with great sound and effectively a 100” screen while on a long airplane/train/bus ride seem rather compelling IMO. Not worth 3,500$ alone, but it doesn’t need to solve every problem for every person just be worth using for enough people to get things rolling.

I doubt anyone is going to be using one of this in a spin class any time soon, but there’s plenty of situations where a laptop/phone/tablet don’t really work well.
336,000 servers remain unpatched against critical Fortigate vulnerability
Because people have switched to larger screens (32+ inch) that they place farther away, lowering the need for pixel density.

I'm on a 4K 27" monitor. That's a PPI of 163. I don't feel it's dismal, and I sit relatively close to my monitor.
The Nature Astronomy paper linked by The Guardian corresponds with the arXiv version https://arxiv.org/abs/2306.04053

"Whilst this time dilation has been unambiguously detected in the light curves exhibited by cosmologically distant supernovae, the appearance of time dilation in other cosmic sources [has been] less conclusive"

"This paper presents the detection of the cosmological dependence of the time dilation in a recent sample of almost two hundred quasars [...] in multiple wavebands over a two-decade period."

"In closing, we note that the lack of detection of the time dilation of quasar variability in previous studies is potentially due to the relatively small sample size in terms of the number of quasars under consideration [26], or the cadence of data sampling and characterisation of the quasar variability"

There is also a discussion about possibilities such as the time-evolution of quasars themselves; those possibilities are discounted.
I got 0 miles because the first photo was exactly the kind of landscape I grew up with. It also helps that almost all of the Texas photos are sure to have a flag or the shape of Texas somewhere.
Ask HN: Where to find people to work on projects with together?
Hello HN, just like the title asks, where can I find people to work on projects with together?

I have software side projects that I work on regularly by myself but it would be cool to be able to work with others.

Where can I find a co-hacker(s)?
Thanks to Reddit, I now use the Reddit mobile site instead of Apollo. It sucks in comparison.
Complaining about the state of the web is like complaining that the radio only plays crap songs, that TV only has reality soaps, or that McDonald's food is not nutritious or tasty. At some point you have to realize that this is how it is always going to be in the mainstream, and seek out quality content outside the mainstream. Instead of being mad that the quality content isn't in the mainstream. There's more high quality content online than ever before, if you're willing to lift your pinky finger a millionth of an inch and make some effort to find it - or God forbid pay a little for it.

Hi! I’m Melissa, a mid-level software engineer with a front-end focus and 2.5 years of professional experience. I have experience in most stages of a product’s lifecycle, from customer research to UI/UX design to product management to engineering implementation to sales to support.

I’m looking for a remote software developer position for my next role. I thrive in environments with a strong engineering culture that fosters mentorship and transparent communication. If your team needs a positive, multi-faceted contributor who can get things done, let’s have a zoom call! I know I can bring a ton of value to your team, and I’d love to learn all about the problems you’re trying to solve.
The world is very large and we have a detailed accounting of what, maybe a fraction of one percent of it? It would be FAR weirder if we stopped discovering new things in a mostly unexplored planet.
Sure. But where did the nickel come from?
> It was a purely defensive move to prevent anyone else from acquiring or partnering with Goodreads

I think there's another angle you're missing here - Amazon wanted to stop paying so much in affiliate sales. At their size, they were easily taking in tens of millions a year from all the Amazon affiliate links.

Now Amazon own it, they don't have to pay that out.
This is really cool, great project. I thought the instructions were clear, especially as it obviously follows in the trend of Wordle style games.

Don’t understand the people complaining about the game when it’s their own lack of reading comprehension failing them.
>> Large models are trained on public data scraped via API. Content-heavy sites are most likely to be disrupted (why post on StackOverflow?) by models trained on their own data. Naturally, they want to restrict access and either (1) sell the data or (2) train their own models. This restriction prevents (or complicates) Google’ automatic scraping of the data for Search (and probably for training models, too).

This is going to be the interesting part to me - one HUGE usage scenario for AI would be doing automated searches and distilling results from the web - if sites start preventing that then AI innovation could be stifled - OR we'll see a scenario where the average person is very limited with that their AI subscription can access. We could have a situation where e.g. Fandango prevents AI from searching its site to help people plan their movie outing, but instead has their own model that they'll charge for access. We could have models talking to each other, deals made between the owners of the models for access, and the average citizen uses a search engine optimized for monetization, that may have data that's months out of date but they can pay extra for the model that provides current data.
Alcohol abuse is one of the causes of major health problems in countries where alcohol is widely consumed. Look at a map of cirrhosis rates, there’s a huge lack of cases in places where alcohol is prohibited. By supporting the current drinking culture in the US , you are indirectly supporting the terrible health results like cirrhosis. The best way to stop is to never start.

Prohibition does work, the important part is effecting a cultural shift in attitude towards alcohol, similar to how smoking was marginalized.

We don’t need to live with this crazy culture where drinking is glorified and a big social phenomenon.
That's true, but I think the benefit of treating a Cartesian product as fundamental is that it lets you stop thinking about loops at all, or which one is the inner or outer loop, or of it as an iterative process at all.

Boxing all that up into the Cartesian product is a really useful concept, and the whole idea of relational algebra is to find convenient formalisms for relational operations, so it seems like it deserves a separate mention.
It is kind of weird that I don't think I've ever seen any monitor reviewers report the monitor's time-to-wake.

Certainly, one of the most impressive things about the M1 laptops when they came out was that they woke instantly from sleep, including the screen.
When you register a domain, you are prompted to put it for sale. You don't have to. As the article points out, a lot of people register domains for optionality. Maybe one day I'll use that for a project. And that optionality isn't worth an infinite amount of money.

I was including 1st party vs. 3rd party in my mind when I mentioned distribution. Admittedly that word is doing some heavy lifting.
It's half-solved. I used a service to send out review copies, so I have a record of who downloaded from the email and who didn't. Which means the service does, and Amazon / Goodreads could easily use that.
I just wish there was some way to have a web site open to the public without having its contents used to train AI models. That threat has basically removed the web as a means for me to share and connect with people over common interests.
