It's owned by someone that the left can no longer stand because he doesn't align with their beliefs enough. They have been ramping up their dislike of Musk the more he doesn't align to their ideas (the partians on both sides tolerate no meaningful divergence from their agendas). At this point it pours out of them like their hatred for Trump does. Just mentioning Elon Musk sets off an emotional trigger and they'll rampage about how terrible he is (Reddit is overflowing with it). It's largely a partisan tell, how you respond to Musk. Before the left went crazy about him, the right used to dislike him for being supposedly too green, environmental-focused, too cozy with the Obama Admin, etc.

Back in reality, who cares if he destroys Twitter. It doesn't matter. Something else will take its place. Personally, I almost enjoy the chaos and watching people lose their minds over entirely trivial things. Culturally the US is imploding (not a new momentum, merely advancing further), I might as well be entertained by the very large numbers of people starting the fires.
The context of my reply was putting life dreams on hold, which for many people means children and family. While renting might have strict financial advantages (although not in any of the popular metros in the last 20 years), having peace of mind of not having to move and your kids being in the same school is worth quite a bit.

And the federal US government does quite a bit of wealth transfer to homeowners, which comes from non homeowners obviously, so renting being better than buying is only true for certain circumstances.
You're perhaps more correct than you know. Donald basically received lists to appoint right-wing judges from: https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/360598-meet-the...
Sega had Sonic Adventure, Soul Caliber, Phantasy Star, Space Channel 5, Crazy Taxi. On the gaming front they had everything they needed.

On the pricing front though... oh boy. You are not gonna survive as a hardware company when Sony jams a DVD player into their gaming console and sells at a $100+ dollar loss just to pump up the DVD standard

> Example. There is a highly experimental vaccine, which is really gene therapy. People are questioning it. Including Mark Zuckerberg, who told all those people not to take it.

My good, that sounds horrible! Can you share some information? You should go to the media with this. A hidden gene therapy, wow... Which genes are they trying to change in what way?
Sticking to plain text is like living in a cave - possible, but unpleasant. Why would you remove all the formatting and integration niceties of modern tech?

So what? Every relevant device can also read and write a bunch of more useful formats

Why would any of these no doubt fly-by-night businesses care what the feds say? The Feds also say that pot is illegal, and no one is paying attention to that either.

The reality is that the federal government ceded their authority on this issue when they were such cowards as to avoid rescheduling, but still let states go ahead and do it by default.
Yes because of all the red tape and scalability issues
I really hope that this endless wave of layoffs ends soon. I've been let go twice in the last year. Every tech place is going through layoffs and is pausing hiring.

I wrote a browser plugin to automatically fill out a lot of the job application forms, so that I can apply to more jobs in a day, and I get maybe one interview for every three hundred applications. I watch endless tutorials on YouTube about the best way to interview, I spend hours doing problems on Hackerrank or Project Euler, just to be told that they were "impressed by my abilities but they don't think I would be a good fit at this time, but they'll keep my resume on file".

The part that's even worse than rejection for me is idiotic and disingenuous email that I am expected to send to the hiring manager explaining that while it's disappointing that I didn't get the job, but it was such an honor to grovel and waste hours of my life to just be considered for such a prestigious position.

Actually, no, the worst part is the fact that I have to pretend to believe all these companies about their stupid mission statement, and how they're going to save the world. I can't be honest and say "I want a job because I want money in my bank account, and I'm hoping that if I perform labor for you that you will provide me that money", instead I have to make up some reason about how I think StylishlyMispelledCo is actually going to solve all the world's problems and that I want to be a part of the ground floor because I believe in <cause x>, and all the other companies working on <adjacent cause y> simply don't get it. Or I have to pretend that instead of hanging out with my wife or friends, I really want to hang out at a workplace that's more than just a workplace, but also a family.

I'm being unfair to startups, every company is doing this shit now. You can't just do a task because you want a paycheck, you have to launder it through some bullshit sanctimony about saving the world. That's how it was at Apple and Walmart at least.

It's demoralizing, but even worse, it's exhausting. I'm so frustrated with the world right now, and while I know that it certainly will get better eventually, I am also deeply unhappy with my life right now.

I hate the power imbalance that companies hold. I hate that these companies won't acknowledge that power imbalance, or the fact that deep down they're just greedy. I hate that I have to pay for my own healthcare out of pocket (or effectively out of pocket because the COBRA stuff I have is basically worthless). I hate that I got myself into this situation.
On the other hand, the library is not supposed to provide you a copy for the purpose of commercial distribution.

Where in the statute does it say this?

Suppose that I write a pamphlet. I am the copyright owner. What in the law says that I can't go to the library, pay for the use of their photocopier, and make copies there that I will try to sell?

The library may indeed refuse me if they think that copyright law is being broken. But if I can convince them that it isn't, then there is nothing illegal in their permitting that copying. Even if I was lying, they did their due diligence and are legally still fine.
I agree with you that learning certain things is wasteful.

For instance, one could imagine an RNN that learned to do some approximation of tree search for game playing Chess and Go. But we have very good reason to think that tree search is basically exactly what you want, so even systems like AlphaGo have the tree search implemented outside the neural net, but still using a learned system to heuristically guide the tree search.

The reference to the bitter lesson here is that feature engineering has, thus far, typically lost out to more general end-to-end methods in the long run.

This paper tries to do feature engineering by hand-coding an exponentially decaying mechanism, where tokens further in the past are assumed to be less important.

My comment is that this type of hand-engineering will lose out to methods that are more end-to-end learned. These methods do not necessarily need to be hugely computationally intensive ("buy more GPUs").

That said, I could see it being the case that in the short term, we do just buy more GPUs, learn a general end-to-end algorithm, but eventually figure out how to re-implement that end-to-end learned algorithm in code significantly more efficiently.
> It also made me realize something: half the value of buying a kit these days is that you aren’t spending hours finding needles in a 300lb haystack.

It's a bit of work but I found enjoyment in sorting my old childhood Lego. Don't do colors, do categories (bricks, slopes, plates, etc). Once done, I could complete my old childhood models even faster than the unsorted ones you buy new. It also lowers the threshold to break it down and build something else since it's so easy to find the parts. On the downside, it takes more space than a single bin.
…harming themselves was not.

Thus, it has “gone wrong”.
Doesn't such tracking require a warrant?

Looking at call logs may require less.
Meta does have their own higher-performance JIT-compiled implementation of Python, but I don't know if it still uses a global interpreter lock.
Ah fair enough. I didn’t think about using the indent, that’s pretty clever.
One of my "core memories" wrt Lego is meticulously spending days sorting small parts into some of those Sterilite multi-drawer things and then knocking it over, spilling all my hard work onto the floor and undoing it.

I was probably 8 or 9. From that point on, fuck it, they all go in one big box. My brothers and I would compete to see who could find the most valuable pieces. Mostly treasure chest coins, little gems, and basically anything translucent qualified - transparent single stud pieces, cone pieces, and lightsaber beams were very high value, since one could not build a respectable Lego sci-fi arsenal without all of them.

You just gave me an 'aha' moment here. I've been using the cli version of joplin basically as a text-file manager, but with a decent-ish mobile app. I've been struggling with keeping it updated etc and have been considering going back to just text files.

I wasn't aware of markor and really like it, it seems to handle editing text files really well.

Already use syncthing, so why bother with joplin at all?
To get to brass tacks: some groups continue to be bitter over Musk due to a self-created petty, political, disagreement. They want their safe spaces back. Like a child upset that the people she kicked out of her birthday party are back.

Threads is going to fail because you would need various social groups of large representation to move en masse e.g. African Americans. Last I checked Black Twitter isn't going anywhere over some petty disagreement over Musk. Anyone migrating (I.e. leaving Twitter while simultaneously going to Threads) is in a small bubble.

Threads is going to be the "Twitter killer" just like Mastodon was supposed to be. Everyone declaring success already hated Twitter to begin with. They have the Musk-hating media behind them writing slanted articles. I've already read the doom and gloom headlines this morning. Instagram sucks and everyone I know hates it. This was the Hail Mary pass to save it because Meta is out of ideas.

Late to the party. Newer blog. I wanted to get another post up before posting here.
The government has no First Amendment rights.
Strange... Here in East Polynesia it has been a very wet dry season.
Great article. I had seen pictures of his writing den, but this really opens up his day to day routine in a way that I hadn't envisioned.

This is depressing:

The only complication involved a pension that Delany thought he’d earned from the university; it didn’t exist.

Makes me wonder about his other business relationships and if there was a mismatch between what he expected vs. what was delivered. The fine print of employment and publishing contracts is often very restrictive and/or requires additional steps to unlock certain rights or benefits.

For anyone who hasn't read Delany, Nova is a solid starting point. Forget the "space opera" label, it's just a great story with interesting characters and vision of humanity's far future.
> To "rebuild", is not the right word, the intention was to build the EU and open up the market and borders for US goods, including military bases to further push away the Soviets

...And that was a bad thing? Look at what countries subsumed by the Soviets had to go through, and Russia is no better. You can quibble about the specific motivations, but the result of US involvement has been a stable, rich Western Europe and a rapidly improving Eastern and Central Europe.
It also uses 1024 bit RSA and on Eth which is one of the slowest and most expensive L1s.
Very true! I was more into the early-to-mid 90s fighters (MK, SF2) but the Saturn had a solid lineup there as well.
Yeah, I was going to respond with a grouchy "Circles are the most intuitive thing in the world" non-self-aware response :P, but you're right. A lot of people didn't know what to do with them! As is frequently the case, my mind can work differently than other people, and Circles were "YES! THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR!" instant-love for me. Heck, I've been trying to do it with facebook for years and I just can't - it has a "Groups" or something functionality, but it's burried and difficult to use and complete pain to setup.

Whereas for me, circles were amazing to both send and receive. I have a group of friends that are interested in photography, and a group of friends interested in computers, and a group for astronomy and philosophy and bicycling and whatnot. So I can place people and or they can subscribe to what they want to see from me.

Similarly, people would create a circle of say interesting photographers, and you can then share that circle and copy that circle and modify that circle and subscribe to that circle.

What ended up happening for me is that after a bit of time, I had a daily feed that was just... way better than any algorithm or AI or ML or privacy-invasive company ever managed to accomplish. Just high quality stuff all around. But also my friends and followers also received better quality stuff from me, as I could tailor who gets to see what.

I also liked the interface at the time, seemed to actually use my wide screen monitor, be clean, and relatively uninvasive (open FB on a 32" monitor and you barely get more useful text than on the 6" phone to this day)

HPE prepares for spicy affair with India to churn out $1B worth of servers
people are irrational about their jobs and compensation, like those people who decline raises because they think its puts them in a higher tax bracket and they'll lose more money.
There is a very simple experiment to show that human industry is affecting the climate. Take two glass boxes. Fill one with air. Fill the next with air and add carbon dioxide in any amount. Put them outside next to each other in the sun. The one with additional carbon dioxide will get hotter in proportion to the amount of carbon dioxide added.

I think a lot of people do advocate that everything be serverless, but at the very least the industry as a whole defaults to that. You now need a good reason not to deploy bleeding-edge $FRAMEWORK SPAs to serverless edge cloud functions or whatever they're called this month, rather than only using them when it makes sense.
You can't see replies on Twitter links anymore, though that doesn't really matter in this particular case.

Of course, who knows what it'll be doing tomorrow. I'd definitely think it's probably time for HN to prefer Mastodon (or Threads, I suppose) links, where a post is available on multiple microblogging things; Twitter has had any one of about five behaviours for non-logged-in linked tweets (work properly, work but without replies, spin forever, redirect to login, generic error page) over the last week, depending on when you try.
Tech-nazi.
It might just be that most people’s value systems prioritize giving advantages to their children and/or securing one’s retirement above their values.
Training as GPT vs RNN will give you numerically identical results with RWKV, it's just two ways of computing the same thing. It's trained in GPT-mode because it's cheaper to train that way -- you can parallelize over the sequence length. In practice it isn't going to be any different than training with back-propagation through time for the same sequence length.
I’m using the logic that resonates for me personally, to me being Christian means being tolerant of and good to other people, especially people who are less fortunate or kicked by society. Luke 5:13 - Jesus reached out and touched the man with leprosy sticks out to me always when people are talking about trans people.
“Likely centuries” means, “it could be.” Its bs climate sensationalism and this data only goes back to the 1980s.
Imagine what they are going to say in 2030s about how much easier 2020s was.

One thing is for sure, the wealthy are just going to move higher up in their penthouses and crank the A/C while telling other people to get back to the coal mines to pay their bills or be homeless (which will be a death sentence due to the heat).
So unions are "rent-seeking" from the shareholders who want to profit from extracting surplus value from their labor. Should labor not be able to use their surplus value in the free market?

The collapse of American manufacturing and industry could also be traced to outsourcing abroad, which devastated American labor and unions and resulted in profits for the shareholders from the reduced labor costs.

There is also the financialization of industry as represented by a shift of management techniques away from industry to finance in order to boost share values. Eventually industry runs into reduced returns in growth, but finance provides new schemes to create profit based off of speculation on the future.
The issue isn't that they needed a backup to cloudflare. The problem was they only have a single internet provider at their datacenter, so they couldn't communicate with Cloudflare.

I've honestly never had a service with a single outbound path. Most datacenters where you rent colo have two or three providers as part of their network. In the cases where I've had to manage my own networking inside of a datacenter I always pick two providers in case one fails.

> Work is now underway to select a provider for a second transit connection directly into our servers — either via Megaport, or from a service with their own physical presence in 365’s New Jersey datacenter. Once we have this, we will be able to directly control our outbound traffic flow and route around any network with issues.

Having multiple transit options is High Availability 101 level stuff.
Just Call Them Tweets
US holidays don't apply to private workers. Lots of companies do offer paid days off on those days, but it would be a new thing to make them required paid days off.
It's healthy to be skeptical about the fearmongering and narrative control, while also promoting ecological policies.

A recent example: Nordstream bombing was the "worst case of environmental terrorism in modern history". US govt blames Ukrainian actors[1]. Yet Greta Thunberg hasn't made a peep about it, and recently did a photo op with the Ukrainian govt, which also hasn't spoke out about it.

It's unbelievably cynical. For some people, environmentalism is just a means to power.

For us growing up, the point of the sets was that you got a cool spaceship or whatever, which you would put your personal Lego guy into, park near your "base", and play with until some other project demanded the parts. Then it would be disassembled mercilessly and consigned to the bin as grist for the constantly evolving construction project laid out on our much-abused air hockey table.

If a set was a particularly cool build, we might disassemble it and then rebuild it - but most of the time, once something got taken apart, no one was ever going to bother trying to reconstruct it from the manual, since doing so would have involved finding all 500 necessary pieces in the mega-bin.
Do you have a source on that? Asking as a Minnesotan
Would be nice for the first table to have the pricing, and a comparison with the old plan as well...
You may be interested in Osmosfeed: https://github.com/osmoscraft/osmosfeed

It is a static site feed aggregator primarily designed to go with GitHub Pages. I host one to aggregate my own writing on different sites. I think it may fit your use case because your Osmosfeed site itself outputs a single Atom feed. So, for example, if I have an Osmosfeed site that aggregates feeds 1, 2, and 3, the Osmosfeed site has a single feed which will include the three individual feeds. Mine has about 10-12 feeds and it has worked perfectly thus far with no issues. Not sure if it would have problems at higher numbers.
splitting a project into an open ended "exploratory phase" of undefined length followed by a "main phase" of defined length doesn't seem like it would make any change to the total time taken, just shifting around the unpredictability
I haven’t read the whole paper, but from the discussion section it looks like Centauri was implemented with native code in mind, but could probably be implemented (less reliably and more slowly) in JavaScript.

And it seems (from some shallow research) there is no widespread, effective mitigation for rowhammer techniques, and if anything devices have only gotten more vulnerable over time.

Sounds pretty devastating for privacy on the web if it’s implemented and easily distributed, no?
Canonical could really have really swept up a lot of former Red Hat developers if they'd simply redact and undo the whole Snap fiasco.
For a user-respecting OS, people have few options other than Arch (for quick security updates) or Debian (for LTS) anymore...
I used to think Canonical's tradeoffs were acceptable, but corporate control tends too much to try and declare their position disingenuously via marketting ploys instead of merit.
Snaps "solve" centralized automation but are also the cause of lost trust by making it under their control. Between automation and trust, I would rather they just solved the trust part by trusting the user (by default) to own/control all the automation.
Engineers know better what's actually at stake... it's a shame because this white-knuckle corporate greed is precisely what keeps me from advising anyone to trust this OS - they could have gotten so much growth and profit if they cared more about their real users than they do about their user's management. Instead, people swarm away, telling everybody why (hint: "snaps"), and Mr. Shuttleworth just watches while users drain away, looking for a vendor they can trust and finding, today, none.
