This downgrade is quite sad. Too many of the enterprise grade network devices rely on linux.

At least the FreeBSD Junos still runs on the devices on top of KVM. I just can't understand why they didn't go for jails/bhyve or illumos zones instead.

Yes, uuencode / uudecode are probably older too.

SEO is a dirty, low-down, snake-oil sales pitch.

Back in the dark ages (happy days), SEO was actually a real thing. You would use the HTML meta description, keywords, etc, to set up things which would actually be used by search engines to categorise and rank webpages.

Then gooble came along and decided to rank search results based on:
- The number of links back to something, which depended on popularity and longevity, NOT relevance or quality.
- Who pays gooble the most. Primarily who pays gooble the most.

Gooble completely did away with actual SEO. So now all these businesses promising to do SEO for other businesses are mostly just throwing links and blurbs on every social media platform (or Gooble Sheets etc), and maybe buying a page rank boost from gooble directly.

Merely adding keywords in page content is not SEO. Not the old (real) way, and not the gooble way.
He spends much time labeling and psychoanalyzing the people who disagree with him

But in the last few years, as his firm a16z took in $7.6B of capital to make a disastrous bet on “Web3”, while charging LPs an estimated $1B in management fees for the privilege, he’s been putting out a stream of disingenuous and logically-invalid arguments.

For those who didn’t follow Marc’s Web3 debacle, I’ve kept the receipts:

Criticizing pmarca for not engaging with the core of the argument, while simultaneously bringing up "receipts" for unrelated criticisms is odd. This behavior is more consistent with someone who has an axe to grind than with someone who is offended by 'poor “sportsmanship”' in discourse.

This has come up for Wikimedia's Gerrit, too[0].

Wikimedia opts to close PRs with a message saying (tl;dr): this is a read-only mirror, contribute via Gerrit.

Importing from GitHub seems like it might be a bad experience except for drive-by commits (which are valuable and Wikimedia misses out on).

Mirroring to GitHub is sensible—(1) Dependabot (2) Nice code browser (3) this is a perk of working on open projects: your name shows up in GitHub (the default place for open source developers) next to the project.

But there's no trivial way to make it clear for developers that your repo is a mirror (outside of the description). It would be nice if there were a button in the UI to make it clear a mirror is a mirror (e.g., to show up in searches for `mirror:true`[1]). It seems like this requires Special Privileges™ somewhere...

Dude, good for you that your life in the Global South has improved, and I mean that sincerely.

But you're the one that has moved the focus to that. Would you mind if I whinge, like you keep on repeating ad nauseam, that here in our privileged world, things are not better than they were 20 years ago for most people except the ultra-rich? We do in fact have our own < 25 years old here as well, they are not only living on the equator as you seem to suggest.

So if I accept that in poorer countries things have turned for the best, as you keep droning on, please accept that I have a perspective that here in our supposed ivory towers life for many people is worse, poorer and with less social mobility. These two outcomes are not incompatible with each other.

Thank you and good day.
Agree, in my program there were a couple of faculty who used impossibly hard exams to figure out who they wanted to work with.

The company I work at has a merge queue bot that enforces that CI passes after every merge. Only the bot is allowed to merge main. So, not being able to customize the squashed message is also an issue with our tooling.
Instead of making it static could you implement a submission process and liveliness checker? This seems like a really cool way to share content with each other.
May I remind you that Toyota is heavily invested into hydrogen engines and are about to start selling them commercially. I believe they simply don’t see 100% EVs as viable. It’s an interesting strategy and upon reading on it, I don’t see them being wrong.
By the time you do that, you might as well also put in a variable speed compressor and a variable speed fan, at which point there’s not much left.

(Seriously, where I live, you will likely pay $1k or slightly more to drain and refill the refrigerant. The hardware for an entire modern heat pump, indoor and outdoor components, is maybe $3-4k. Is it really worth it to drain an old existing unit, cut the pipes, add a reversing valve, retrofit in the controls, pressure test everything, deal with the fact that the outdoor unit (formerly the condenser coil) will start producing copious amounts of condensate that the manufacturer and installer did not anticipate, and refill the system?)
This is just a classification problem. You can use a standard neural nerwork for this, the input parameters are the pixels of the meme, the expected output is GOOD or BAD

you can check huggingface to see if any models could be fine tuned to handle this or you can use tensorflow[1]

You will need quite a bit of good data for this to work, GPT 4 can work with images and you could fine-tune it but i'm not sure how to do that for images.

As to usefulness - to me it's not really, but as a model it could be something fun someone can use or find use of

And the "progress" doesn't even materialize to anything concrete. Are websites really better in 2023 than in 2010? Are they faster to code? I would argue no for both points.
GitHub achievement badges seem a little juvenile and cringy and even if they successfully gamify GitHub, is that really a good thing? Are more commits and more issues necessarily a good thing? At best they draw focus to the wrong things, and at worst could become the basis of social-media style boastfulness.
if you have innovations that will save kids lives, you should find a way to make those broadly usable by all.

One way would be for you to buy or license the tech and give it away. Is that something you're considering?

Intended to make and share my personal projects here. At the moment its around 2 good or known posts and one project. Hosted on github pages, based on Hugo, , which makes me feel too tired just to think about updating it. Will update it someday with most simplest to setup markdown based tool/framework.
I feel like there's only 2 kinds of new terminals:

1) UX-focused: Most of these use electron/web technologies and pray nobody notices how much slower it is.

2) Performance-focused: minimal features, but using modern rendering APIs. AFAICT, everything in this category is just taking advantage of people not knowing Kitty already exists.

What I do think is interesting about tabby, which I haven't seen mentioned too frequently by other terminals in category #1, is the ability to embed in a webpage. I'm definitely open to more products having a nice web terminal embedded in a page.
Just a heads up, I can use 'Delete current stash' on the Trash stash which then places Trash as an entry inside of itself. Two potential outcomes of this is:

- If I use 'Empty trash' it removes Trash entirely such that 'Go to Trash (deleted)' or 'Delete' no longer does anything until restarting the app.

- If I use 'Delete' on the Trash entry inside of itself it will crash the app.

Even at Google, most people find Gerrit to be pretty intimidating. It’s mostly only used for Chrome, Go, and Android and it’s far behind Google’s flagship review tool (Critique).

Gerrit is not a bad tool but it is somewhat hard to get used to if you have the more common GitHub-flavored git experience that most software engineers have these days.

I expect if the goal is to get the most vibrant contributor community possible the best thing would be to move to a GitHub-first workflow where Gerrit is supported as a backup. But there’s too much inertia for that to ever happen.
Your arguments apply to other fields, like genetic modifications, yet there it does not reach the same conclusions.

Your post appeals to science and logic, yet it makes huge assumptions. Other posters mention how an AI would interface with the physical world. While we all know cool cases like stuxnet, robotics has serious limitations and not everything is connected online, much less without a physical override.

As a thought experiment lets think of a similar past case: the self-driving optimism. Many were convinced it was around the corner. Many times I heard the argument that "a few deaths were ok" because overall self-driving would cause less accidents, an argument in favor of preventable deaths based on an unfounded tech belief. Yet nowadays 100% self-driving has stalled because of legal and political reasons.

AI actions could similarly be legally attributed to a corporation or individual, like we do with other tools like knives or cranes, for example.

IMHO, for all the talk about rationality, tech fetishism is rampant, and there is nothing scientific about it. Many people want to play with shiny toys, consequences be dammed. Let’s not pretend that is peak science.

Indeed. It's absurd for them to be able to treat EULAs as real signed contracts when you violate them, but as nothing at all when they do.
Yes that's exactly my point! Some people think that being oppressed or being disprivileged means that you become a lot more affected by day to day news and hyper aware of all the new stuff around you, politically or otherwise.

But that's a deeply privileged take, from people who have a weird and idyllic view of what it means to be a minority or suffering from discrimination,etc. The opposite happens usually, which is sad but that's still reality. Being hyper politicized or hyper partisan is exactly the sign of privilege and it's funny that to see the pervasive narrative that the opposite is somehow true, and that being able to ignore news is a sign of privilege.
"Pregnant people" - how can anyone take that seriously

I was curious to see if there was a non-culture war take, but it just seems to be a bunch of "pregnant people of color" nonsense. Hopefully someone can get to the heart of the problem instead of just spitting out irrelevant stats that support their bias.
I really liked Tabby but it seemed to have problems trying to work off of multiple drives. That may just be me, though.
If the contribution is into an open source project on, e.g. github, the contribution is already covered by an open source license the contributor is aware of.
If the copyright owner takes it private, they cannot revoke the existing GPL license on the existing code base - only changes from that point forward.

At that point, the contributor could take the existing codebase and fork it to keep it open source.
Of course, they can only do that under the existing license so they have no power to change the license themselves.

What CLAs do allow (that IMHO is beneficial) is the copyright owner developing other licensing options for specific customers.
This can provide a better income source than just “support” for a project.
EDIT: I was able to get in at ~19:25 ET.

I'm assuming this was published as an embargo dropped. There was a countdown at https://www.threads.net which ended at 19:00 ET. That said, it doesn't seem to be live just yet, at least for me in Canada. The website is showing a 3D depiction of the logo and I see a "Coming soon" note on the App Store.
Agree 100%. Where I live, land releases for development are tightly controlled by the government, and purely by coincidence, the politicians are massive land owners in the areas which are strategically approved for development. For example (as exposed by one good investigative reporter a few years back), the weird path approved for a new suburban railway just happened to run through an area in which a bunch of these politicians owned investment apartments and townhouses.
Test Results > NHSTA used to publish their test results of all car seats, but no longer do so. FMVSS 213 (the US standard) tests for Head Injury Criterion (36 millisecond), Excursion, and Peak Acceleration in a frontal car crash. So keep in mind the utility of the results has limits, and doesn't test for a whole lot of things that are part of real-world usage in and out of a car. *Big grain of salt.*

I'll give you some real numbers and leave the comparison for you to do (lawyers get itchy if we do the comparing directly). Our carbon fiber seat's best result is HIC 197 in FMVSS 213 testing with a Crabi 12-mo old test dummy. Our friend Eli at Magic Bean's reviewed it in a video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGaU9R6jHCQ The current car seat for sale is of a similar class but doesn't have the $2500+ price tag of a carbon fiber seat.

If you're still curious, we can take this off HN: drop me a line at support@kioma.us and just mention HN and your HN profile name.
I agree with your first paragraph, but it's important to note your second is talking about specialized skills (moving on a paved road) compared to broad general abilities (getting from point A to point B on earth). Nature is winning still in many aspects of the latter; specializion can win the former because of how many requirements are dropped.

I don't see general intelligence as a specialized skill.

Also, a suggestion: a raw list of usernames like this, sorted alphabetically, can lead to gamification where people choose names that rank first to ensure they show up on the first page. In the past, when showing similar lists, I've implemented randomization so that no one person has an advantage.

Is what Marilou Henner can do different than working memory?
The problem with brine from desalination is that it kind of behaves like a heavier liquid, sinking to the bottom. That causes it to stay together, taking longer to mix with the regular ocean; and the coastal seafloor there is a lot of life that doesn't appreciate water with double the salinity of regular ocean.

To solve that you can just dilute it more, either mixing with some other waste water stream or by releasing it over a larger area rather than a single outlet.
Your best bet is also to spend a lot more on insulation. Combined insulation and efficient heating/cooling will keep your house comfortable. Overspending on one will not be as good.

You can also do heat pump for 90% of the time and emergency heat as oil/gas/wood stove.
Right - I did end up doing basically this. In this case, though, it was a massive pain to figure out what version of a web browser (a) supported enough cipher suites, and (b) would run on the system in question. And then I had to figure out a way to get the browser on the system to begin with; all the download sites I tried required cipher suites that were too recent!

The people don’t believe in paying for competence in government employees. Then they are shocked and outraged when bottom 10% compensation leads to bottom 10% performance. If you want to hire someone to do product management for a nine figure government project maybe you should pay more than $90k to the product manager if you want it to be managed properly. The government gets exactly what it pays for in these roles.
I played a game very similar to this where you had to move an odd shape without it falling off the ledges, it was on the iPad five or 10 years ago. Wish I could remember the name of it.
I had a similar situation a year or two ago and since then have had several juniors complain that we're using "old tech" or missing out on the latest packages.

I gave up trying to be understanding and reason with them. It just seems new developers, and especially frontend developers see a shiny new package every week and want to try it. Before we put a stop to it we were lumped with a handful of projects that were frankly awful, with a bunch of spaghetti javascript code written in the flavor of the week which wouldn't compile on anything except a very specific version of a bunch of packages, whilst pulling in close to a gigabyte of random dependancies that nobody had any kind of handle on from a security point of view.
> Fun fact, a resistive heating device is a rare case of something being 100% electrically efficient in that all the energy it uses will be turned into heat

My understanding is that you get considerably more heating per watt-hour with a heat pump than with resistive heating, though. I get that it's not creating that heat but moving it, but still that seems like even more efficiency from the perspective of energy consumption per useful heat made available.
I pity you for having such a simple view of things. Even if I've designed systems for a decade I still find different approaches and other peoples' experience interesting. Don't tell me your time is too precious, because obviously you have time for this useless discussion.

You don't have to be an expert to make assumptions of the content, learning is incremental. I'll give you an example, I've never dabbled with AI, but I could get a decent feel of the quality of a blog post on the subject. Maybe there's a mistake in there that I'll encounter and have to fix. To me that's a win, because then I know WHY I do something, as opposed to just being told THE way to do something and missing the details.

As for why I care? I'm trying to help you broaden your perspective, if possible, maybe it brings me good (real life) karma. The way you word yourself sounds like you're still early in the Dunnin-Kruger scale.

Some random internet stranger puts time and effort into creating this repository and sharing it for free. You see it, find no interest in reading it but instead of scrolling past you have to question why anyone else would. I tell you what value it could give others, and you double down, leaning on "trust" and "reputation" of mysterious "institutions".

Still waiting for your reputable institutions, or anything resembling a useful response. I've asked what gripes you have with the repository, but crickets. If you aren't even going to try to be constructive why are you wasting your precious time? What are you gaining from this?
The people have an interest in teachers making copies for students. This is fair use. Most of my teachers didn't know this fact. Textbooks skyrocketted in price in recent decades, while critical thinking and reading level plummet.
