You mean Education Science? I'm currently studying it (besides my day job), probably writing my bachelor's thesis next semester.

Unfortunately, in my experience there are several shortcomings of the field (or at least typical bachelor's master's programs outside teachers's preparation, which is separate in Germany).

They love to talk about interdisciplinarity, and will even call out neuroscience and psychology often. In practice, it's mostly a social sciences field, and as such has been taken over by constructivism. Now, while learning is obviously (IMO) a constructive activity, they will "explain" everything with "handwave... social construction... handwave", while dismissing e.g. neuroscience aspects as "not a learning theory" and thus not worthy of discussion.

The statistical sophistication is very, very low. It's not all linear regression, but mostly, and even when it isn't there is no (even implicit) discussion of causality, just adding all variables (what McElreath calls "causal salad).
Probably because you're the same generation as the dude at MS, whereas you want the kids at Github to get off your lawn?
One thing nobody has pointed out yet - and this is not a knock on any language whatsoever but moreso a commentary on HN itself, so take it with a grain of salt, but: if you've followed this site since the beginning, programming languages cycle through here with a hype phase every few years like clockwork.

The one most people jump to from the past few years is Rust and/or Go, but we've experienced this with other languages like Lisp (& variants), Haskell, Scala had a small window, etc. Zig will no doubt have its own moment like this (if it's not already), and then the hype cycle will settle into wherever Zig is used best.

Think of it like a magnifying lens on overall programmer sentiment/interest.
Typical umask is 022 so most things are readable by nginx workers but not writable, they don’t need to be explicitly assigned (e.g. to www-data). If your application generates sensitive data of course you should probably use a 077 umask.
I worked on display drivers and TCONs, but mostly for mobile/laptop rather than TVs/Monitors. I'd be fairly shocked to see the defects you're describing coming directly from within a device, but going through multiple translations PCIe>eDP>TB/DP/HDMI... especially if they're not well tested or badly negotiated is certainly a possibility. I wouldn't trust most external connections or monitors for video editing, unless they're specifically tested.

Note that 1/1000 is glitch every 40 seconds so it's quite visible to an "eagle eye". I'll ask.
So they want to align the AI with corporate goals. At least they're being honest here. I want a personal assistant to summarize a page, remove all advertising and do a fact check. Can we have that?
Even in (the official) docker image, a nginx user is created:
(latest, layer 6)

/bin/sh -c set -x && groupadd --system --gid 101 nginx && useradd --system --gid nginx --no-create-home --home /nonexistent --comment "nginx user" --shell /bin/false --uid 101 nginx .....

I'd expect that Bluesky would launch invites in next few days or so, to those who left their emails. I mean, their competitor is up so why not sent these invites or even open registration for anyone

Unless of course they first want to see how much interest it gains

Matte never made sense at all. I have no idea how matte ever made it into PC monitors. I mean, before lcd screens all screen surfaces where smooth glass. Then came LCD in plastic. Did the early LCD tech necessitate that the outside layer be not as smooth for some reason? Maybe it was just a coincidence that was later cargo-culted? Anyway, there's a reason macbooks, and almost every TV uses a glossy surface.

Their main supposed advantage, that they mitigate glare, is just false. With a glossy screen you get a small point of reflection. Matte attenuates it just a tiny bit, but never enough so that is not bothersome. You can usually tilt/angle your screen to fight glare, but matte makes it harder because the glaring spot is bigger/more diffuse. Also, higher brightness is one of the things that fight glare the most and matte reduce it a lot!

Mobile phones, the devices we carry outside the most and should be most susceptible to glare issues never ever come with matte screens! How is matte even still a thing?
All this song and dance to delay the inevitable death of "ad supported journalism" by a few more months.

Can't wait for open source AI to catch up and watch all these "safeguards" crumble down. Although I have a sinking feeling that they'll be in cahoots with the congress by then, protecting us from all those unauthorized non-OpenAI-bot scariness.

Surely this assumption is based on data of some sort? Assuming what’s in front of you is also 4km away seems a risky bet.
I am actively interested in a good energy monitoring system, that can monitor each and every circuit separately, as well as the overall usage across the whole house. It would be great if it was smart enough to figure out what usage patterns corresponded to what, so if I have multiple items on the same circuit, it can still distinguish between them.

I don't want any part of that system connected to anything that the utility companies have access to or control over.

I don't want that provided by third party companies that could go out of business overnight, and leave me high and dry.

I don't want to have to replace my electrical panels to get this information.

I do want this data all being collected and stored locally, but with a way to reliably back that information up to offsite facilities of my choice.

And it would be great if it could have a system that could apply intelligence as to which circuits/devices need to be powered when, in case of emergency or if I just want to optimize my power bill.

The signal handler just saves the trace and then wakes up another thread which does the reporting. The signaled thread uses only <stacktrace> and mutex/cv, all signal-safe as far as I can tell.
You conduct a statistically valid survey among your target audience.

If you have the resources, conduct qualitative research like focus groups or individual interviews too.

There are thousand of market researchers like me that do this for a living. Find one you trust and ask them for help.
I tried Marketplace a few times but always gave up because the search filter was so bad. There was no way to force it to include a particular search term, e.g. searching for "rtx 3060" would return tons of posts without "3060" or even "rtx" anywhere in the title/body. The distance search was also useless, since no matter how I tried to restrict the search to around my city, it would just randomly return posts from cities hundreds of kilometers away.

Perhaps the bad search was by design to show you as many posts as possible? Either way, it's worse than reddit search, which is saying something...
HNers obsessed with Twitter remind of westerners who obsess over the Ukraine war who have said that Russia has lost and run out of missiles, tanks (insert item) 20 different times now. Only for Russia to prove them wrong over and over again. And with complete lack of shame or self awareness, they continue to make terrible predictions which continue to be wrong, and pretend that the past predictions never happened.
Yes, I have used this for feature roadmaps.

I don’t do what you mentioned (ie. look for paid apps with lots of ratings & a low score), I look for any app with at least one 1 star or 2 star reviews and I also look for any problem (doesn’t have to be related to an app) in reddit or any forum.

To be fair, it’s quite a numbers game to dig for useful problems or insights.

I know you didn't ask this way but I can tell you how NOT to do it and how to avoid a lot of pain.

Don't just build the product in the hopes that people will come to you. Aside from doing market Research et Al, it's equally important that you figure out if you will be able to "market" the product. If you don't have a thoroughly planned GTM strategy that's peer reviewed by people who understand your market, you might end up with a great solution but no access to potential buyers.
I prefer matte monitors although it is not that important to me.

>You can usually tilt/angle your screen to fight glare, but matte makes it harder because the glaring spot is bigger/more diffuse.

I would need to be able to switch quickly between a matte monitor and a glossy one to be sure, but IIRC the main advantage of matte is a many-fold reduction in how often I have to swivel my attention to the issue of glare. In other words, it is the need to "tilt/angle the screen" that is the main cost of glossy for me because I cannot do that without taking some of my attention away from the task at hand. In contrast, if I am already constantly holding the screen in my hand a la a smartphone then I can adjust the angle with very little conscious attention, so IIUC I have no preference for matte screens on smartphones, which if my preferences are common, would explain the absence of matte screens in smartphones.
No one is claiming that general purpose quantum computers are useful right now. Instead, people are trying to prove that certain physical devices they have built behave like the theoretical model of a quantum computer.

To help prove that, people have found contrived problems that don't care about errors but that theoretical quantum computers can solve exponentially faster than classical computers. If these physical devices can solve those problems, that is proof that they are on the right path to one day solving actually interesting problems like Shor's algorithm.

There are of course some caveats. For one, the test problems discovered so far are believed to take exponentially more time on a classical computer, but there is no rigorous proof yet (in fact, it is not yet proven that there doesn't exist a classical algorithm that could run as fast as Shor's). The second is that the current quantum computers are so small compared to classical ones that, even with an exponential advantage, they can't always solve things fast enough to prove without a shadow of a doubt that they have this advantage. So, improvements in this time difference compared to the largest known classical computers is still a worthwhile goal.

Seriously, though, I hope that you realize that LLMs are incapable of "fact-checking", because they don't know what "facts" are.
Well done on the mildly confusing post.

For people that come straight to the comments – Threads was also what Instagram called a standalone messaging app that they introduced in 2019 and never took off. They shut it down at the end of 2021, which is what this article references.

Apparently they've re-designed it a bit (or started over from scratch) to turn it into a Twitter competitor now that Twitter is a bit... turbulent, and are relaunching in a few days (which is currently being discussed on HN here[1]).

Might've been better to just start with a fresh name rather than resuscitating a brand that has already failed once, but what do I know?

Huh. First time hearing about this. No longer a small company then.
Given the relative abundance of supporting devices, they must be easy to extract from at least some of them I'd assume? Revoking these all the time would sound painful for the end user...

Instagram itself was Twitter but for photos. It makes sense that they'd wedge Threads as Instagram but for text.

I believe, the primary catalyst for Meta to build Threads is competing with Google and Microsoft on LLMs. Google Groups and GMail have nice and clean conversational data, while Microsoft has that via LinkedIn (and to an extent, GitHub). Short of Facebook and Messenger, Meta has to license from Twitter and Reddit, but might as well try their luck with Threads instead.

I believe they will eventually change WhatsApp's privacy policy to mine the data in there, as well, with the help of "differential privacy" or something, like Apple. Mark is too smart to not to.
of all the things mentioned in this whole thread, this resonates the most. from my take, everyone here mentions AI engineering as someone just plugging in LLM (ie OpenAI) into every software application. However I believe there is a nice burgeoning of the "AI Engineer" where it involves more of the data processing and specialized AI fine-tuning that engineers have a role in, but of course it requires more specialization than just learning LangChain and calling it a day.
"This subreddit was banned due to being unmoderated."

This just means that whoever had control of the subreddit has deleted their account or not logged in for 90 days. It happens automatically to prevent abandoned subreddits from filling with spam. There are 2.8 million subreddits so this is going to happen hundreds of times a day.

There is a process for people to ask to take control of an unmoderated subreddit, you just post to r/redditrequest and wait two weeks.

That is quite a broad statement. Can you explain more?
DuckDBs concurrency model is not ideal for every use case. It's either single read/write process or multi read process (no write).

Other than that it's awesome. I've stuck to its native file format though as scanning SQLite is slower.

Nice work! I'm wondering if you've already updated your guides (or maybe you will soon) after the German government's recent reforms on immigration laws?
I am not. Working well so far. My instance is behind Caddy, behind a secret URL path. To talk to the instance, this “pre-shares secret” needs to be known first. So far I haven’t seen any abnormal hits. I’m closing in on 3 years of using it in this setup, via Vaultwarden.

I’m aware that this is security through obscurity. The instance’s accounts use strong passwords and MFA.
The only thing they’re truly good at is copying features and using regulatory capture to outmuscle the competition.

Meta would have been absolutely toast right now if TikTok wasn’t banned in India. All of their user growth has come from that market lately, and that could only happen because Indian users have no option but to use Reels (TikTok was killing it here).

And the TikTok ban was also very suspiciously timed - right after Meta made massive billion dollar investments in India’s most powerful and politically connected business (Reliance/Jio). There have been no subsequent bans on anything Chinese.
An example would be if you target enterprise but know that enterprises would never buy from you because you're too small or not trustworthy, you need a way to overcome this hurdle.

Or, you're targeting individuals but there's a competitor with $300M funding who owns all marketing channels. You might not be heard in the noise.
I find it mind blowing that people refer to Twitter as "once great" now that it is known that it was essentially a disgusting totalitarian political censorship and propaganda tool for one of the 2 political flavors in the US.

I just don't get how someone can feel that this is better than what it is now and just casually ignore that fact.

I also don't get how people can claim that Twitter is now going to die because "???". HN is into soothsaying now?
I don’t know… the “desensationalize news” demo that was circulating on HN a few weeks ago was pretty impressive.
But you think humans (by and large) do know what "facts" are?
Right, the app store link doesn't appear to open anything for me, so I was wondering what's up. That would explain something.

Or maybe Nintendo should upgrade the 2014 Android SoC of the Switch so games could run on modern resolutions.

There must be TVs or scalers out there you can buy that are used by retro gamers and let you runt 1:1 scaling on modern TVs. Or you can emulate the Switch games and run them at natively higher res.

Either way, I'm sure there are solutions for you out there instead of display manufacturers having to go back 20 years in time to serve an outdated gaming console. Just a thought.
Oh OK sorry but yeah I wouldn't use that. If this is usually supported on Dell monitors, I would bet it works on these.

I suspect that as societies all over the world age further, you'll be hard pressed to find anyone willing to do this job.

I had a plumber replace some pipes in my apartment the other day and he said that he agreed to take this job despite being retired, because there's simply no one available to do it.

His effective hourly rate was around 50% more than I make.
It's a good article. I have an orange LED bulb in my bedside table lamp. It's fantastic. I have 2000K ('amber') bulbs elsewhere, and 2400K COB leds. These are pretty good except for when taking pictures.

As a non-user of Instagram, I somehow thought Threads was new. I just missed the fact of its existence I guess.

It's generally very hard for me to tell whether a social media app is popular, I can't even keep track of which apps exist anymore, apparently.

Or processes running with the CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE capability! [1]

Capabilities are a Linux kernel feature. Granting CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE to nginx means you do not need to start it with full root privileges. This capability gives it the ability to open ports below 1024

Using systemd, you can use this feature like this:

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/nginx -c /etc/my_nginx.conf
AmbientCapabilities=CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE
CapabilityBoundingSet=CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE
User=nginx
Group=nginx

(You probably also want to enable a ton of other sandboxing options, see `systemd-analyze security` for tips)
