Ooh, you're talk like you're privy to inside information. I hope you brought enough for the rest of the class.

> if you think you’d do a better job than Elon with Twitter, you wouldnt.

You'd have to try rather hard to do worse.

Hmmm.... I haven't suffered from scurvy, pellagra, rickets, or beriberi lately. You're saying that's just a coincidence?

Perle continues to make the IOLAN device concentrators (they were Chase brand when I used them in the 90s). Today they’re marketed as “device servers” for connecting console ports on embedded devices to IP networks but you could still serve dumb terminals from them just fine.
> you typically fly by a tower and have them make visual confirmation

I've been wondering for a while when I read stuff like this, why don't modern airplanes have exterior cameras that cover every surface? I watched a video recently about a flight where one of the engines literally detached and the pilots didn't know the extent of the damage until after. Why not just have cameras they can quickly pull up to check stuff like this?
The post suggests a race condition as the underlying cause of the behavior shown in screen captures. It’s perfectly possible the race condition does exist, and being a race condition you just didn’t happen to trigger it. It’s also perfectly possible to discover such a defect with or without any personal bias towards Musk or Twitter.

Reporting it publicly this way can also be a favor to both, as it gives them a fairly malleable narrative for reversing course, or directing responsibility, or both. Even if it’s simultaneously embarrassing to have it out there. And it’s not like either Musk or Twitter is a stranger to embarrassment, or particularly shy about courting it.
I take it you never even read about Lula's supposed conviction then.
Thank you so much! (And definitely viewed this as being on us not on you, so no worries!)
If your visa is sponsored, you should be especially prepared to execute even if the leadership is doing the wrong thing, at least until you have an alternative. Being hired on visa means having less contractual power, and there's no way around it.

I don't it'll happen, but it's a little early to declare yourself the winner.
joinmastodon.org -> "Create account" -> Pick a server (the one extra step) -> fill in the signup form

There's one extra step, I think that's not terrible.
i dont think that's considered a fake review. useless, yes.
Doesn't HTA still use Trident also?
H1-Bs are not an "extreme instance", to they are incredibly common. At my previous company I knew a excellent engineer who was treated poorly and paid way less than he deserved. He had no choice though because loosing the job means he's kicked out of the country. Obviously he was grateful for the opportunity, but there's a flip side to it as well.
Thanks, I removed that part of my comment. The point still stands.
How does the square with section 230 something?

Twitter Is DDOSing Itself - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36553236 - 5 hours ago (414 comments)
It seems possible for the Russian decision makers to be so angered that they will want to take revenge, to spend their built up political/technological/social/cultural capital to intentionally weaken the US, EU, etc.

Nuclear weapons are practically an all-or-nothing proposition, but nowadays there a lot of other ways to deliver some intermediate amount of 'revenge'.

And it's a lot easier to destroy then create, as the war has shown, I estimate the asymmetry is easily 100 to 1. That is to say $1 of novichok, or whatever nasty means, can easily cause $100 worth of damage, and the combined economic size difference isn't even 20 to 1.

Though I'm just spitballing the numbers here.
FC1 lost its fun with the mutants. FC2 never stopped being fun to me, because it was essentially a giant open world game of Thief: get from A to B without being detected (since enemy patrols respawned, there was no point killing them).
What do you use for recording?

I've thought of replacing cloud cameras, but I'd still want:

- recording (not just live view)

- alerts

- offsite storage

What's the best way to set this up these days? Zoneminder running at home? With syncthing handling off-site storage to a VPS?
Thanks for sharing. To these folks I would ask: what about numbers is problematic? To the degree that it has to be with current reader perceptions, I understand and empathize.

But in terms of where we want to go, we can do better. Great writers care about precision, and wisely chosen numbers and ranges are able to provide that. It may be appropriate to situate them in footnotes or endnotes, depending on the context. But the numbers matter.
I've noticed than when people on the internet say "I'm not allowed to discuss X", what they actually mean 99% of the time is "I'm not allowed to be an abusive jerk to other participants". (The other 1% of the time, they're posting off-topic in a tightly focused forum.)
The deadly combo is running a skeleton crew while rapidly implementing new changes. This just presents an exponentially higher workload for the remaining staff who may not have the institutional knowledge required to successfully tackle those problems.
What does the FTC say about fake net neutrality comments?
When you’re on H1-B you’re applying for the green card through your employer, which is a multi-year process. So even if you find an employer who will sponsor it, you’ll be going back to the end of the line.
Clearly there is something wrong with the site. So I don't doubt there is a bug. But the OP gives no helpful information that could be used to reproduce the issue and fails to describe it in any helpful detail really. They seem content to just effectively say "Twitter is dumb." Which, again, is fine but not all that technical and interesting.
It's not a big problem - just pick a reasonable instance, which 4/5 instances are anyways. Yes, if you pick an instance like lemmygrad on Lemmy that's specifically built to be an echo chamber, the chances of being defederated are higher. But picking a popular instance or an instance made for access to the fediverse (like what social.lol does) won't put you at much risk of being left out.
Labtam x-terminals and ultimately edge routers did. I briefly worked doing regional network deployment and support with them, and some board replacements in the field. Tektronix bought out their IPR. (Australian company, one of the last manufacturing IT companies doing on shore assembly)

They ran a Unix kernel and had a very good networking stack. I believe they coded early to the emerging new TCP flow control models.
No it won't because Amazon doesn't write any fake reviews, to the best of our knowledge.

The article and rules make clear that this applies to the companies writing and submitting fraudulent reviews, not the platforms hosting them.

(If Amazon wrote a bunch of its own fake 5-star reviews for products under its own label, then this would apply in that case. But considering how many Amazon-brand products have terrible ratings, there's no reason to believe they've ever engaged in that practice.)
I think you're right. I remember seeing a lot of ads for muxes in the Datamation magazines I read as a kid.

I can't give any details about them, because well, I was a kid, and the details of what they were talking about were beyond me...
How about fake peer reviews for academic journals?

> How do you enforce rules without hierarchy?

I am curious too. I can see a few problems.

1. Deciding what the rules should be. How rules are generated to start with. (Meta rules).

2. Decide when the rules are broken. Human affairs are messy. So there should be an arbitration process to say “yes rule 1, 4 and 5” were broken by members x, and y.

3. How rules are enforced. To punish someone you may need some real power over them. Throw them out of a meeting. Impose a fine. Jail them in the basement?

Speaking as a computer nerd would a distributed consensus like Multipaxos or Raft but for anarchists work?

They can send messages between each other with increasing epoch numbers and everything.

The problem are the Byzantine failures. Members colluding with each others to take over and not replying truthfully. Also how to accept new members who are not FBI informants.

What do you do if everyone decides Joana has to go sit in the basement as punishment and reflect on her behavior, but she doesn’t want to. Need an new ballot to decide who the group of enforcers will be. Start a new Raft proposal round…

(This is all sarcasm in case it wasn’t clear).
Lemmy has been great. I went SDF as a host. Never going back to Reddit. I left Twitter almost a decade ago so I can’t compare to mastodon but that’s been really nice too.
I don't think he'll lose content creators cuz they monetize their content

Paying $8 for em is a biz expense
I'm not talking about only Twitter at this point
They didn’t promise “accept and you’ll be saved,” they were more saying “understand, and you might lead a better/more virtuous/more fulfilling life.” On the one hand, you have figures who promise salvation if you just submit, on the other, the opposite. No surprise there when the majority goes for the former.
The cost of fake reviews on society is subtle but may be high. And it’s too large of a scale for FTC to realistically pursue everyone. I suspect it needs to sound big and scary to work.
Why is spinning up new infrastructure wrong when that infrastructure is consumption based and easy to create?

Cloud providers don’t care about your serverless function utilization for 95% of people. A huge chunk of people will never pay more than a single digit serverless bill, regardless of if they have 450 lambdas or 40. If creating a new function matches your mental model of how things works, simplifies ops and log reading, or gives you access to a library in a different language, I’d say you made a great call.
To be clear it's not personal beliefs that I have, just contentious issues I could think of that are far more controversial irl versus online. Also I think the issue is the reading sessions for kids.
As far as I can see the site itself is mostly immune (Amazon, etc.). The fine applies to actors that solicit fake reviews.
>I didn't read it as a barb!

Didn't intend it as one! Just misidentified a member of my own tribe is all.
I once bought socks on Amazon, which came with a note saying they would send me a free item for a good review. I then got a free electric kettle with another card. Then I got lenses which attach to a phone camera, a carjack, a foldable lawn chair, but the a raclette cheese melter didn't come with another card.

Honestly, all fine products, nothing's broken etc. and I was very happy with such an amazing value for under $10. Werw they even fake reviews?
I've thought about it further.

'Federation' or decentralization is a fantastic idea. There is really only one way that it truly 'works' as a decentralized service...

Each and every user runs their own instance of a federated server. This way, they can 'defederate' anything they please, without affecting the whole. This way there is still no 'central' service that can be monetized, locked down, etc. and all of the federated data is available to all private instances, akin to BitTorrent or a (and I shudder typing this) blockchain.

Maybe I'm wrong.
I feel like that book title is paraphrased from the maxim of the leader of the Assassins in that Alamut novel.

"Nothing is an absolute reality, all is permitted"
I think it needs a centralized client that can read all the instace is a easy way like how rss feeds work.
You're right about Bolsonaro, we have much better candidates now.

I still don't consider this a good day though. This blatant and shameless persecution and censorship makes a mockery of the very concept of justice. They had to bury the constitution to do this. Why should anyone take this circus seriously after all this?
Coastal? Like, related to beaches, tides, or some kind of environmental impact?
You can run python (micropython), javascript (espruino) or lua on ESP32. If you're just tinkering/playing around, those are great options.
Honestly a modern Usenet isn’t the worst idea. Isn’t it still used for piracy?
My understanding of the standard is that the `full-expression` ends at the semicolon and 6.7.7.8 prescribes that the temporary shall be destructed after copying the value to be returned.
My favorite are the injury lawyer billboards.

Always wondered how anyone picks an attorney from a billboard, as it seems that would be a negative signal but it must work because there are so many of them.
> People that are 5-10x more effective at hard skills like programming, well I'm just convinced they weren't a good programmer to begin with and are doing easy problems.

It can make devs 5-10x more effective at certain self-contained programming tasks, even if they aren't 5-10x more effective at their job overall. If you have to write a script in a language you haven't used before and it needs to interface with an API whose documentation you haven't read, and the script isn't mission critical but a "nice to have", GPT can massively shorten the learning curve required to just get this work done. Being a good dev doesn't excuse you from having to pay the cost of learning the syntax of this language and basics of the documentation more thoroughly than if you didn't have GPT.

Have you even read the article? Leave it to HN to spam the exact same message in every thread where the word severless is mentioned or hinted. This article is nuanced as was original prime video team claim.

While I do think lambda is sometimes overused, but no good engineer says "cuz serverless" for using lambda function as is implied in all these conversation. And there is no best choice in the absolute sense, and I wouldn't want to hire someone who claims that monolith is the better architecture for everything or everything should be serverless.
Rare Earth: Why Complex Life Is Uncommon in the Universe
Whether or not it’s vegan is largely unimportant.

There are three main reasons people go vegan - environment, ethical, and health.

Is lab grown meat better for the environment? Absolutely. It takes less space and removes parasitic losses such as movement, body heat etc. It can’t ever be as efficient as eating plants, but it will be orders of magnitude better than animal ag.

Is lab grown meat ethical? Well, it reduces animal suffering to near zero. That’s pretty good in my opinion. But opinions will differ.

Is lab grown meat healthier? Maybe. We should be able to grow higher quality cuts with fewer steroids and antibiotics. But red meat is still carcinogenic. So if someone gave up meat for health, it seems unlikely they’d eat lab grown meat.
Twitter told me I spend too much time on Twitter. I agree. Thanks!
Sure it is? WordPress updates itself and all plugins automatically. I've had Wordpress sites running for over a decade with zero security concerns ever popping up.

Maybe your point of view is outdated?
Can we please recognize that this is a holiday weekend and Elon rammed a big release forcing his engineers to come in and iterate multiple patches over the last 12 hours.
I particularly love these hour long interviews where I've had to fly half way around the world to spend an hour answering shitty questions from some completely unprepared lazy asshole like you who hasn't spent 5 minutes reading each resume.

You should be ashamed of yourself.
There’s information in the post that very probably points at the underlying cause. The scrollbar jumping is a dead giveaway: Twitter loads more content based on scroll position. If your viewport is sized such that displaying the error message triggers another load event by its corresponding change in scroll position, it will try again indefinitely absent some additional logic to bail out.

Edit: this of course depends on some other implementation details, like the rendering flow and browser behavior. If showing the error is memoized, it shouldn’t trigger the loop unless they’re also rendering some intermediate loading state asynchronously.
Were yours in particular fake? Maybe not. Does this cause people who might've given a four start review to bump it up to five? Probably. Does it mask the company later subbing in a cheapened, shittier version a few months later to float on the large number of five star reviews? Yes.
Anyone have a spare invitation code?
> You do make me wonder, though, about who the vocal users are: RHEL is not important enough to license, but important enough to not move to a different distro?

The scientific community, who run extremely high core counts and thus get a raw deal on licensing, but need the drivers for their hardware to be completely reliable as well as software compatability to work with anything from proprietary vendors that their community might need. Eg. CERN who are backing Alma linux.
A trick on Amazon, which I have no idea how it's allowed, is to create a listing for a product like detergent or soap, get tons of reviews that are 4.5 stars+ then change the listing to something else entirely, like supplements or anything. Something high margin that is being drop shipped. Suddenly all the reviews are mixed between this new product and the old one, but you have 4-5 people go in and create reviews for the new product the listing has been replaced with, and have accounts just mark those as the most helpful, so they rise to the top (most people don't go through more than 5-10 reviews.) It's such a scam. It's very common too.
Not if they're trying to get a green card.
There are many thousands of forums, but do remember that there was a time (not that long ago) that social networks didn’t exist and things seemed a hell of a lot more rational back then. Both Reddit and Twitter have been highly weaponized by both foreign and domestic entities. If this is a concerted effort to destroy social media (and I’m not so convinced it is), I think it’s not a bad thing. It’s just become extremely toxic and even dangerous for society.
On the other hand if you never hire anyone with different ideas then you'll inevitably create a monoculture that had difficulty seeing its own weaknesses and making improvements.

Sometimes two philosophies aren't necessarily wrong but simply aren't compatible. Choices like emphasising frequent collaboration and constant communication or async-first deep work. Mismatches there are genuine culture misfits and it benefits everyone to realise that early and move on with no hard feelings.

But a lot of ideas in how a team works are not so black and white. It's valuable to hire people who have different ideas and aren't afraid to advocate for them when the time is right as long as they are still team players who will accept a result that isn't their personal preference if that's the team's consensus or management's direction. Not hiring people like that because their personal preferences don't align with the team's current way of doing things is also a culture misfit but in this case it's a dodged bullet for the good candidate.
most companies will not be so loud about it.

Double that for companies that were loud about their cloud usage, usually that came with some usage discounts on the side- on-prem does not, and it also looks bad to pivot anyway; so why be loud?
Based on app perf today, they’re probably metering signups for good reasons.
> How does this work in the world of business where 99% fail

I used to know this grumpy old guy who had a simple explanation for that statistic:

It doesn't mean that, if you start a business, you have a 99% chance of failure. It means that, out of everyone who starts a business, 99% of founders are guaranteed to fail, and 1% of founders are guaranteed to succeed.

The trick, I think, is to become the kind of person who can succeed at starting a business — and then start a business.
For me it automates the low level stuff so I can focus on other things.

"Given this json blob what is the typescript type?"
"Given this type, make a function that loops over X and makes a map of Y?"

Or I use it to write code in languages I'm not familiar with. Heck I even used it to make some github actions cause I severely dislike yaml.

It did hallucinate a bit on the github actions (especially since it didn't know the latest api), but it put me on the right track. So I don't know, I think it enables me to do work in areas I normally wouldn't, like Java. It isn't always right, but it helps me immediately test ideas / iterate.

I think of it like reference I can ask questions without getting sass or having to worry about some toxic coworker wondering why I don't just know "x". It's not always right, but neither are my coworkers / humans. So I guess, treat it like a human aka fallible?
I enjoyed your comment a lot. Interesting to think that abstract structures like a load balanced webserver have a simil to the fundamental frequency observer in physical structure
Given that there are still humans on Earth who live essentially as they would have thousands of years ago in hunter-gatherer or subsistence agricultural societies, you could also say that wealth inequality has only increased throughout human history and every day is worse than the one that has come before it.
I’m can’t believe that nobody said this but I can’t run this bare metal on my raspberry pi pico. It not being a single header C89 with no dependencies to the stdlib makes it a hard pass for me
Boolean was banned for sounding too much like boo elon.
Quite the knee slapper. Thanks. I hope you didn’t spend many brain cycles on it.
Twitter could've simply announced they were going into maintenance mode for the weekend, and most people would've taken the hint about reduced availability.

Many of us privacy freaks were content accessing via Nitter, and had no use for directly connecting our personal machines to the site, nor registering. I am curious if we were considered bots.

Time will tell, but I doubt anyone has the actual explanation for what is going on exactly.
