A sizable portion of their team and leadership is former Sun / Solaris / Illumos dev folks. It's their 'native' OS/platform.
Calling something "embarrassing" leaves a lot of room for interpretation so I can't comment on your specific situation, but I have pictures my mom took of me as a baby naked, breastfeeding, etc and I would never consider destroying these. I also generally find it weird when adults consider something they did before the age of 5 or so embarrassing. Like you're a literal tiny child not responsible for your actions - nothing you do is embarrassing because very little is under your conscious control.
I think Israeli society is more diverse than that. Do Soviet jews have a big sense of unity with Mizrahim? Why is this different from any European country, where share of immigrants is probably lower than in Israel?
Not that I know, my reference was meetings with people from the Deno team (many of whom are friends) - I'm not sure it's documented but it can easily be verified. Just try to do `Deno.connectDatagram` on deploy for example and see it's missing.
A 12yo can also smoke. Just because you can do something does not make it a good idea, regardless of age.

Containers and k8s and all its flavours are cool but not needed in 95% of cases.
The interest can either add to the principal or be a regular distribution.
It's AWS Outposts Rack without the AWS connection. That is, you get a turnkey rack with the servers, networking, hypervisor, and support software preconfigured. You plug it into power and network and it's ready to run your VMs.

Outposts, too, started with a full-rack configuration only, but they eventually introduced an individual server configuration as well. It'll be interesting to see if Oxide eventually decides to serve the smaller market that doesn't have the scale for whole-rack-at-a-time.
I've thought about trying to do something like this as a side project. For lemmy in specific, I think having a "lemmy directory" that redirects urls to their correct server would be nice. (I.e lemmydir.com/c/homelab would 301 to lemmy.ml/c/homelab. People would register their redirects on a FCFS basis and some amount of activity on the community would be required to register the redirect)
Hard to imagine limiting the ad views of your non-paying users is going to help fix your revenue short-fall.
I doubt it's a reaction to him hurting internally. I think it's a consequence of being disconnected from the rest of the world. I think he thinks what he's doing is both right and popular, and in his bubble that's true.

Leaving aside completely that one of the luxuries you can buy as a billionaire is that you can develop an impermeable bubble, I've seen lots of people do similar actions at a smaller scale.
Madoff's involvement is tangential, in the sense that investing in his scheme was the reason they opted for a deferred-payment scheme, but that's it. What is surprising is how long the contract is.
Thanks for the explanation, I appreciate it.
Many people at Oxide have been working with it and its predecessors for an extremely long time. It is a platform that is very well known to us.
What "holes" does this show in W3C's argument?

I would say that this style doc would respect the technical choices of both twitter and reddit since even though the rules of access changed, the urls themselves didn't.

From that document:

> At W3C we divide the site into "Team access", "Member access" and "Public access". It sounds good, but of course documents start off as team ideas, are discussed with members, and then go public. A shame indeed if every time some document is opened to wider discussion all the old links to it fail! We are switching to a simple date code now.

Thus the correct choice in URL design was indeed made as (AFAIK) no links need to be updated even though the rules for who is allowed to access the content at that url changed.

This question of URL design is orthogonal to any debate about the reasons and justifications for restricting access to content that was previously public.
In this case I think it's interesting how people project their personal social views onto the blank slate. The idea that the trend must have started by a female whale that was somehow harmed and is now seeking Justice if it's cleanly into the framework with what some people view the world.

The idea that it was started by some way all that got a kick out of causing destruction doesn't have the same social resonance
I know I'm on HN when someone is explaining why the "woke" ideology of the orcas attacking yachts is ultimately futile.

Currently, there is no air force in the world that will match the US. In fact, I'd be hard-pressed to see a combination of aircraft that can match up.

The US Air Force is the largest one in the world. The second largest? The US Army. 4th largest? US Navy. I think the USMC is #7 or so.

That doesn't mean the US will have air supremacy in every situation or even air superiority, but it's unlikely to be close to even for long, if it ever is.
Personally I wouldn't assume that the app that's been demonstrated to count "views" in extremely sketchy ways has suddenly started caring about the distinction between loading and reading a post. Especially when the intent is pretty obviously to herd users towards subscribing.
lol, I created an account yesterday after it went into authenticated only mode and was hit by rate limiting after like 3 minutes - gg elon
Twitter temporarily restricts tweets users can see, Elon Musk announces
Footnotes are mainly straightforward-enough glosses and references, but there have always been digressions (and quite often sniping) in there too. The C19 has some real specimens.
> Your terminology is somewhat contrived, not least of all because people view the terms quite differently.

Might be because:

A) I am not a English native, and not plugged into any US discourse about the topic

B) I studied philosophy and I studied it in Europe, where these definitions might have been used differently. Ethics have never been my focus, so I am not an expert here.

On the topic of universality: You rightly say that this is a somewhat illusive goal (as in: reaching a set of rules that everybody has to objectively agree if only they were reasonable). However that was never my claim. I simply said that instead of just inheriting your moral rules from tradition, culture and your ancestors it is superior to try to embed those rules into your own subjective rational framework in order to test those rules under a somewhat consistent "framework". And there are some guiding examples how sich a framework could look (e.g. Kant with his categorical imperative). Imagining universality is a good trick here to give your framework a check: "what if my standards were everybodies standards"? If you hate what comes out as an answer you should probably rethink your own opinions.

IMO there are just too many people that hold totally inconsistent views. The key questions is: How can one expect others to bow to ones moral claims, if your views contradict each other or if your moral claims are always strong if they affect the outgroup and waved away if they affect your ingroup or yourself?
It is next to impossible to find common ground with such a person, because they are not interested in finding good rules, their interest is to rule.

Society is about finding some form of consensus on what is "commonly" acceptable and what isn't, which is why people that don't even try to think in an universal ethical framework are somewhat problematic. Of course not everything needs to be subject to rules, but some rules will reduce conflicts between the different groups and individuals. Now morals are not the same as these rules, because they don't have to be enshrined in law, but the border is fluid here.
Elon Musk announces new daily Twitter reading limits
HN does have performance / capacity issues, and you'll find that if you're crawling the site rapidly, you'll quickly have your IP banned.

I've had that happen even under manual browsing (when logged out). My front-page analytics project hit that limit quickly (within about 30 requests, probably less). Adding in a reasonable delay got around that.

Keep in mind that a lot of Web infrastructure tends over time to operate just at the edge of stability, as capacity costs money.
But your passport is still tainted if you use any Israeli land crossing--they see the stamp from the other country and infer you were in Israel. Unlike what we saw in the 80s in Africa--so long as "South Africa" didn't appear you were ok. The border stamps into/out of South Africa didn't cause problems. The possession of a fair quantity of supplies with packaging in English/Afrikaans didn't matter--but the first day across the border the organizer had us stop and very carefully go over everything with a sharpie looking for labels that said "product of South Africa"--those had to be totally blotted out.

And to show how stupid things were--he also had a stamp he had made up to make forged entries on our yellow books. At that time your average joe certainly did not have an up-to-date smallpox shot--but at multiple border crossings they would hit you up for a bribe if you didn't have an up-to-date smallpox shot. Hence fake them. (Even around 2000 which was the last time I had occasion to have anything added to my yellow book there still was no anti-counterfeit protection.)
Really?

If I change 10 files as one logical change. I want to ensure that when I go to the other computer I have all 10 of those changes. DropBox by definition is eventually consistent. You don’t know if all of your changes are synced.

That’s not even to mention when I use an automatic refactoring tool that can literally change dozens of files.
You don't have to go back too far for Russia to be viewed as a legitimate military threat who could roll through europe. I wonder if there are anything other than turkeys for the us military to shoot.
Where is the bluesky site? I tried to find it recently and ended up on the app store where I saw that I needed an invite to join, and then I closed it and never came back.
So when's that first billion-dollar-per-year payment due?

Just trying to calculate the number of years before twitter becomes myspace.

Two? Three?
The solution to this is to have a unified namespace which is distinct from hosting. So then /c/unpleasantcommunity is only hosted by instances that choose to mirror it, but if anybody goes to /c/unpleasantcommunity and their default instance doesn't mirror it, it redirects to an instance that does.

Then you don't have to host anything you don't want to but you still have a unified network.
There are much bigger issues.

1. Users or one might say content creators don't own their data. Not just do those platform owners make a lot of money with the content (which they have a license to, as per site ToS) but then you have third parties scraping it now for commercial products. Using the data to train models that are then sold back to some of the same social media users who produced the content for free in the first place wasn't a thing until very recently, it used to be a select few doing machine learning research in the past. The laws are lacking behind the tech development and regular internet users are being exploited because of it.

2. It absolutely is stealing in some cases, and even worse. For example when they scrape it for content which they then use to train their bots to impersonate humans. Or on Twitter, there's a very common type of bot that steals content from young attractive female social media users in China, auto-translated to English, to pose as them. If you're in finance and crypto circles they're swarming with these accounts (guess the scammers know their targets).

3. In general this is only going to get worse from here on. LLM are getting better and better. On sites like Twitter you already have no idea if you're interacting with a human or not. But these "AI" can not actually think for themselves, they can only emulate, they can copy other humans. At least so far. So for the sake of making progress and ensuring we can still have intelligent discussions and find novel ideas online, it's imperative to have a way to keep the machines out. Social media must become sybil resistant or it dies in a vicious circle of self-referencing bots ever parroting the same old talking points, or variations thereof. We urgently need human ID!
Yes it is shadowing.

Every line of code starts a new scope.
Verified accounts are limited to 6k tweets/day. Assume the average human is awake for 16 hours a day. That's 6.25 tweets/minute if you did literally nothing but scroll through twitter all day long for 16 hours straight. Please explain how that makes the site "unusable" unless of course you are a non-human bot scraping site content.
Steve Huffman and Elon Musk both seem to be so mad about scraping (especially for ML training) that they're willing to make the user experience vastly worse for their users in pursuit of preventing scraping.
My father saw ball lightning. He described it as occurring near a small fence -- really a couple stakes and string with flags for visibility hanging off it. Said that the ball would hover as it jumped from post to post then fizzled out.

Ball lightning is one of those things that you'd expect to be easier to detect because of the increased use of cameras. Why isn't Youtube flooded with dozens of videos showing lightning balls? There are a few, but none of them are convincing. (One is clearly a drone being flown in a thunderstorm.) Most are fakumentaries. (3 seconds of shaky zoomed-in "proof" and 5 minutes of a so-called expert breathlessly talking about it.) How can ball lightning both have lots of people claiming to see it, but is infrequently caught on video?

My suspicion is people are encountering normal lightning discharges at close range and the "ball" is an illusion caused by how eyes work. If someone attempted to get ball lightning on camera they'd be disappointed to see the recording look nothing like how they remembered it.
Reminds me of Fogbank, a material used in early US nuclear weapons.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fogbank

"The material is classified. Its composition is classified. Its use in the weapon is classified, and the process itself is classified."

When it came time to refurbish the warheads, everyone in the know had long since retired and documentation was minimal, so it took over a decade and $100m+ to produce a usable batch.
> about the same level of effort as just reading a REST API document anyway, at least for basic use cases.

The idea is to automate that, using a LLM to read a description and create the appropriate reply messages, retrying until it works. You need at least a rough specification and semi-useful error messages. Then let the system work until it has established communication.
Psychopaths can be the best chameleons though.
Can I get a refund for tweets that I didn't want to see so I'm not locked out? If viewing a bad tweet means I can't view a good tweet, that seems unlikely to increase my unregretted minutes.
I don't see much difference between it being in a Google backup and being on the Snapchat server in the first place. The point of this article was not to say it should never be stored on a server, but that it shouldn't be posted in a publicly/large group of strangers accessible way.

Ask HN: Best setup for dev and ML work on a new MacBook Air M2 16GB
I have a new personal Mac - MacBook Air M2. For side projects that cover ML, web scraping and development, what do you recommend for setup? Should I use Homebrew, Anaconda? Trying to avoid package management pain later.
All I get from polycentric.io is "Please add Polycentric to your home screen" (Android browsers call it installing) - even after I added it to my home screen (Firefox on Android). Works on Chrome though.
This is a great article describing where web assembly came from, and what promise it holds. It builds up to the pithy quote by Docker founder Solomon Hykes:

"If WASM+WASI existed in 2008, we wouldn't have needed to create Docker. That's how important it is. Webassembly on the server is the future of computing. A standardized system interface was the missing link. Let's hope WASI is up to the task!"

... and ends there. How this WASM-WASI story plays out remains to be seen, but Docker doesn't seem to be the answer. From my (very subjective and biased) point of view, Java gave server programming "extensibility", upload a .jar file without having to restart a server. This convience of updating servlets is something that seems entirely possible with WASM/WASI, but now with safe access to more low-level OS functionality (and maybe on bare metal). I find it an exciting prospect.
I don’t know man, farming in most of the world is a totally risky activity.
> What about security updates and bug fixes?

Security is an important part of the product. You'll get updates.

> Or what about if (god forbid), you go out of business 5 years down the line

All of the software, to the degree that we are able to, is open source. This is important precisely because you own the hardware; you as a customer deserve to know what we put on it.
Breaking: Twitter by the look of it
> The Pentagon should have recognized that the Eastern expansion of NATO would collide with the national security interests of Russia, and that war would be the inevitable consequence.

NATO is absolutely zero threat to Russia, and Russia knows it. Finland joined and Russia shrugged, and has since even removed many troops from that border because it knows NATO will not attack.

What matters is the national security interests of Ukraine.

Russia is a massive threat to the national security interests of Ukraine, and Ukraine really wants to join NATO to be safe from Russia. Russia knew that if it wanted to invade and conquer Ukraine, a souvereign country, it would have to do soon because it would not be possible anymore after Ukraine joined NATO.

Russian security interests, fuck off. Neither Ukraine nor NATO is a threat to Russia.

Ukraine's security interests, those are very obviously threatened.
Sadly this seems to be an approach a large chunk of people actually want to try. Lots of folks out there who are not equipped to make suggestions
I hit the 600 post limit in about an hour, so how they're counting that seems kind of suspect. There are dozens of tweets you may scroll past or comments you may load for any one that you care about.
I follow cruisers and Youtube rich ones. Also, 6000Wh is 500Ah 12V batteries. AC is pretty rare on sailboats but does show up on nicer ones, but I get the impression nobody runs it except on shore power.

Also, when news say orcas are attacking small sailboats, I think they are comparing them to large yachts. And not actually small sailboats below 25'. I suspect most are 30-50' since that is most popular size for offshore.
Ask HN: Are there technologies that use fast spinning pulsar signals?
Wikipedia:

“PSR J1748−2446ad is the fastest-spinning pulsar known, at 716 Hz (times per second), or 43,000 revolutions per minute.”

Not fast as far as computers are concerned but I wondered if there are any technologies that somehow read and make use of pulsar signals?
I suspect that men are more likely to link education to income and opportunities - and the ROI for a lot of degrees has plummeted as tuition has increased. I don’t think women are as bothered by this and you can see this in the student loan data. 2/3 of distressed student loans in the US are owed by women.
This is great. Reading more than 600 posts a day is probably unhealthy anyway.
I actually like seeing other people’s photos.
Yeah my limit hit after 20-25 minutes of total screen time. What a mess.
Looks like there a reason for it:

As a Linux user, onshape (web based CAD) is streets ahead of FreeCAD. Seems on par with parts of Fusion I use (of course, Fusion also includes FEA, CAM and lots of other stuff). Not libre, but free for personal use (all your free tier designs are public) and works on Linux.
Analogous to golden parachutes and rubber rooms.

The only way to prevent this is by evening the playing field, and that requires rules and regulations.
Sounds like Google+ in a way, they limited it to invite only for a long time which caused a lot of the second wave users to get fed up, only for the low interest on actually opening it up causing Google to feel the need to ram it down everyone's throat, and both periods contributed to its negative perception.
It's weird to criticize all this stuff considering modern dev companies often have teams like 'billing' that have more people in them than the dozen or so developers who have built the entire video game (plus editor) from the ground up.
You only scroll past 6.25 tweets per minute?

An easier way of thinking about this is, 12 followed tweets with 50 replies each, 600 limit reached.

Do that in 10 idle times throughout your day (lots of people do more, like, say, Elon), and you hit even the verified limit.
I mean, can you just copy it here? Since yesterday nobody can access Twitter without login.
They sell servers, what does not make sense about it? You can argue about the specific niche (big enough to run their own hardware, too small to design their own), but companies need somewhere to do compute. If nothing else, I love their approach to rethinking all of the individual software components in the stack and tossing those things which do not make sense in the modern era.
Calling C/C++ "weakly typed" is just functional/academic language snobbery. They have some automatic type conversions (more than some languages, less than others) and they have casts that allow programmers to circumvent the type system (but so does Ocaml with its Obj.magic, and Haskell with its unsafeCoerce).

The strong/weak distinction isn't particularly valuable in the first place, but it becomes especially useless if you try to shoehorn C/C++ into the "weak" category.
A new thing was rolled out at work last month, and while it cured a few headaches and support issues, it created some new ones. Not the least is the fact that its web interface has no AAAA record and no IPv6 support, and so users who may perhaps be inadvertently IPv6-only or whose IPv4 stack is acting up, were mysteriously unable to access the system at all.
I am 100% sure that I didn’t load 300 tweets in the official app today. I was only accessing an account where I follow 17 people. I just counted and there were 14 new tweets (RTs counted as 2 tweets) in my feed from today (the average for a typical day in this account). And I was rate-limited today.

In the best scenario, the change is really intended, but they messed something with the implementation and Musk will never admit it.

In the worst, their infra is crumbling and they are inventing excuses to save face.
It's lousy documentation but it makes great coffee.

They should generalize to people who stay most of the time indoors, regardless of latitude.
True in aggregate, but special conditions exist. E.g. when interviewing for a rarely available position with extraordinary compensation.
It really feels like we're witnessing the end of an era. Elon is doggedly piloting Twitter into the ground and Reddit seems strangely compelled to follow his lead. Reddit may recover - I'm not so sure about Twitter. What technologies will take their place? In a time where it's never been easier to stand up your own website/forum/what have you, could we possibly see a gradual return to a pre-corporate Internet?
Does anyone know if this is web scale?
I can't imagine someone scrolling as slowly as in your example. I'm certain I scroll at least 100 tweets/minute.
Why are you talking about screensavers in a CUDA thread though? You can't compute on a fancy screensaver animation, you need a working CUDA driver that nVidia provides for that.
It's still invite only, unfortunately.
