Love this. What’s the best split? I guess it depends on where you are in the dev cycle.
good luck Zuck!
If the assignment is to classify the type of misinformation (assuming each tweet is misinformation) then it’s essentially topic modeling which is very doable without fine tuning as well.
> Indiana Tech or Wright State aren't one of those and probably won't be.

Google won’t pick them up, but the public sector and adjacent industries will, provided a passable background.

Depending where those people land, they may end up somewhere that’s on par with if not better than Google.

That aside, I’d like to know what purpose Indiana Tech and Wright State (and their equivalents) fill according to you wrt careers.
I signed up but not gonna use it because it’s just twitter with less content
I only own a marking gauge, one router plane, and knife. They're extremely high quality.

For me it's veritas for anything with a blade (and incra for anything measurey).

I played this game and got my PhD after 4 years. I am super surprised that the timing was close to the real phd.
Legitimate SEO is still alive. Gaming SEO is now a losing proposition. I've told stakeholders for at least the last 5 years that writing genuine and relevant content is 90% of the job. Technical SEO is basically a task to not screw up and offend the crawlers. Web vitals is an interesting new twist but it's a better game than AMP was.
Just want to mention this because this parable gets thrown around a lot.

The delta between what git is now and what it was when first released is massive. Junio Hamano has been a absolute force of a maintainer and steward over the interim 18 years (!!) since 2005.

This story often gets tossed around, as if to imply all of what git is today was put out by Linus in 2 weeks, but I think it suffers from a bit of a hero worship problem. It was no doubt impressive and should be recognized, but I just want to make it clear: Git was made by many people over many years.
In a round worm, the neural structure is remarkably constant. The exact same number of neurons emerge and form the exact same network in every worm! But in each worm they might move a bit around slightly especially in their head region which makes quick identification a little hard!

But you can see why this makes the worm the best first organism to decipher the full neural network in. In my opinion not enough people are working on this. There are maybe 5 labs that are working on this topic at this moment!
How exactly is individual mobility and autonomy enhanced on a weekday at 5pm on the 405 stuck in traffic for an hour or more? And then you have to park at either end of that commute.

You can get from The Battery to Inwood Hill Park (opposite ends of Manhattan) in an hour or less without a car. After you exit the terminal, no extra parking step needed. No car insurance. No gas. Just individuals mobilizing to their destinations with greater autonomy.

A car definitely takes longer and leaves you fixated on driving rather than reading a book, browsing the news, or streaming a TV show, especially at 5pm.

This is sad. Evernote was phenomenal and I really loved it, years ago.
Let me guess - Greenwood? They came in 40-50% above all the other quotes I got.
Not having a news feed with just people I follow makes it near unusable. At the moment there is just too much garbage content from "influencers" cluttering the app, and very little you can do to curate it.
The popover historic-sensitive autocomplete was incredibly helpful & superbly semantically aware.

The separators between commands enhanced readability in ways I would never have guessed possible.
Sorry, I could not understand that.

The article isn't using the term 'radical' in such a sense:

"Stable radicals are a class of organic electroactive molecules that have been widely used in different organic battery systems. The first of this kind was commercialized by NEC in 2012."

> not simple mechanical steps and are the result of creative choice

Creative choices requires intentional control over the output across a meaningfully different range of viable possibilities. A brick layer has a huge range of viable options in the specific brick and its alignment in a wall but none of those choices are artistically meaningful.

The coefficients are also not in any meaningful sense chosen based on instruction tuning. It’s no more under direct control than the specific arrangements of atoms in the brick wall and is instead the output of a purely mechanical process.

> We are nowhere near a point where they are an uncreative, mechanical recipe to follow.

Thus: We are nowhere near the point where the output is under creative control rather than being the result of a poorly understood mechanical recipe.
This is something to consider for a future rental property.
Their Veritas woodworking tools are some of the nicest ones I’ve ever used. I didn’t know they sold kitchen stuff but now I want to buy it.
That feels oddly low. It was released at 5ish PM PST on a Wednesday, and considering they have literally all of Instagram + Facebook's userbase to push it on, it seems pretty low. The "sign up" was also just a "log in with FB/Instagram" button where the form was already auto-filled. So it's not like people had to convert, it's pretty much about as pure a product-market-fit test you can get.

Discoverability is also pretty awful with a ton of cringe "influencer content" polluting my main feed. I don't want to necessarily block MrBeast, I just don't want to see him when I don't follow him.

In any case, my prediction is that this experiment is going to be comparable to when they tried to copy Snapchat's story feature or when reels were meant to replace TikTok. These were nice cute distractions, but didn't materially impact Snapchat's business or TikTok's popularity. And in spite of their blunders, I think Twitter is here to stay.
That's amazing.

The website seems to be crumbling a bit, everything redirects to get the app. Hope they can scale up a few instances so browsing returns.
App required = not so sure about this.. not in a rush to try it out.
Yes, but they have meaningful verification (apparently), while Twitter doesn't.
Apparently it’s coming https://www.threads.net/t/CuVlg88I84C/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA...
> This downgrade is quite sad. Too many of the enterprise grade network devices rely on linux.

This is in no way a downgrade. Juniper just read the writing on the wall. Arista boxes ran Linux from day one and have a much better reputation for stability than virtually any other vendor.
JnJ has a AI based anethesioligist tool which can monitor all patient data and provide exacting levels of care beyond what an anethesioligist can do.

Of course... The Drs pushed back and threatened to find alternative drugs and products if JnJ didn't relent from trying to get this tool in hospitals.

Suffice it to say.. we don't see any of them in hospitals.
I didn’t read the whole thing but seems like it is being ruled unconstitutional because, ironically, Oregon has exceptions to the prohibition.
Journalists, as well as "journalists", are going to get paid one way or another. If it's not subscriptions or ad revenue, it'll be in some other form.
The Israelis ran into this problem with their mineral extraction in the Dead Sea, so they're bulldozing the dry salt waste to build a physical wall for border security (more than 10 meters high) that's apparently hard to climb:

Does not being able to use violence any time you choose have a chilling effect on using it when it is legally justified?

Just started blogging. I want to write about my learnings with RISC-V and rust. However, I need to get comfortable getting words on the page so the topics I've been writing about have varied wildly.
I kind of fell off the wagon after a strong 2022, but there are a few good ones:

Trust no one, you’re solely in charge when behind the steering wheel. At least till cars start becoming fully autonomous but then who is to be held responsible if something goes bad..
Could be! But I see plenty of reels being posted and arguably those are worse (to me at least).
It's no worse than obsessively refreshing Hacker News on your PinePhone.
Odd UI on mobile. Can’t navigate to the homepage. The logo toggles darkmode. When I went directly to threads.net the only content is a link to the app store. No way for a web user to browse content.
Luxury balls, bargain babies.
Voight-Kampff test here we come.
Go has it's time and place just like C. The developers chose to ignore that progress and created the C for distributed and parallelizeable code. Using go for what you use JavaScript for is like using C to do Java work. Sure you can do it, but it's not going to be easy and you're going to have a bad time.

As you've said, Go is sane by some definitions of the word but a user should know what types of sanity and insanity they are willing to work with and which are inherent to their problem space
Oh cool a twitter knockoff, that’s a new idea.
What does that mean? Doesn’t the blue tick verification on Twitter require a valid credit card ?
My thoughts too. I don’t need more apps
It looks like threads are indexable at least, unlike Twitter (lol). Try a few "site:threads.net" searches on Google.
Search only returns usernames not content? Total fail.
So far it kind of sucks, scrolls really clunky and my feed is 100% people i don’t follow since there’s so few people posting this early. I imagine that may improve but up until this week I was a heavy twitter used and I won’t spend 5 minutes on this terrible “curated” feed.
It is not clear at all that this is a case of lowering the bar; IMO that verges on an inability to engage critically with the issue under discussion.

It looks to me to be exploring a different way of presenting the subject matter that tries to answer the "how would I ever use this information" questions so commonly heard about hard sciences.
I mean, the fact that an LLM was able to put this argument together supports my point. Ha
> Does not being able to use violence any time you choose have a chilling effect on using it when it is legally justified?

Actually, sometimes, yes; from both homeowners and occasionally Police, despite their reputation, with sometimes deadly consequences. You are afraid to pull the trigger if you have no idea what the jury will think.

However, there is a difference in that the use of violence to defend yourself is more or less the same in all states, give or take Castle doctrine. Oregon and a few others are unique.

But I would like to add, because your analogy is so strained, violence is not speech.

Most of my writing energy the last couple months is going into finishing a book projects but when that's done I will have more to write on other topics!
It appears that mastodon.social will federate with Threads, initially.
that was the reaction from more than a few friends and family I mentioned it to.

Mining salt costs vastly less energy than using slightly brackish water. Which is why it’s so much cheaper.
Network Effects > Privacy

With all the privacy invasive things that Threads tracks people with on its app, this is still proof that network effects trump privacy any day when it comes to social networks.

Privacy as a feature that Mastodon touts is simply and clearly not enough to sway normal users to use it, after many Twitter fuck ups by Elon and over 6 years of Mastodon's existence.
All those tracking libraries gotta go somewhere
I don’t think kids are even that fragile. In many ways they bounce back from more than adults!

> Given the history of tipping in the US (where it didn't gain traction until emancipation

There isn't great evidence for this. There was a burst of anti-tipping laws in the 19th century as aristocratic Americans imitated the Tudor English where modern tipping originated. It only became endemic in America during Prohibition, when a lack of alcohol-based income and the, ahem, two-way desire for favors, increased.
It's a bit like building a train station is a special case of arriving to it :)
you're desalinating water to have an abundant source of fresh water. why in the world does taking fresh water and adding salt being mined from the ground together to make salt water to then desalinate make any sort of sense?
If they are working at a company then they are working class.
I find the article hard to respond to, because I don't think it has a coherent point, but I'll comment on some of its apparent assumptions.

One is that all students go there for a quality education. Since the early 19th century if not the very beginnings, faculty have had to acknowledge that a primary function of these institutions is to serve as a holding place for the (often not very bright) children of the rich until they are old enough to get married and do other grown-up things.

Another is that the quality of instruction there is atypically high. Lend an ear to complaints about Ivy League grade inflation and you will realize this is bollocks. While Ivy League graduates do tend to have higher career trajectories, this is attributed to admissions being selective for highly driven people, and for networking opportunities with similar others.

Finally, he assumes the benefits of Ivy League education could be scaled up. For example, suppose Harvard College increased undergrad enrollment from 7K to 40K. What would happen to the networking effect?
In situations like this, why does HN seem to be such a crab bucket? I see so much "ah yeah well tech workers are finally getting a taste of reality." We have to fight to pull up other industries, not just laugh when tech "finally" takes a beating.
If vscode can do so much and have such a slim profile, it's hard for me to grapple with the idea that we need to justify using the same technologies for a terminal. The impact is negligible, for a massive incredibly capable & superbly complex app.

Many of us spend enormous times in our terminal. If we are going to likewise have a nearly negligible impact on battery life and memory usage, it feels like such an effete elite overconcern to fret about the technology. If Tabby can create a much more malleable flexible terminal that lets us explore possibilities quickly, at such a minimal cost, I think it would be foolish to spend time weighing & "justify" that price. We should explore what possibilities this opens.
Taxi medallions drastically reduced the number of Taxi on city streets which was the primary reason they where introduced.

Overtime the system was intended to do various things like hold drivers accountable which it very much did, as well as various things it failed at.

A lot of .net and React how-tos and bug fixes that took me a while to figure out.
The article talks about why it's maybe politically or economically difficult, but not why it's physically difficult.
Sounds unnecessarily rude. Plenty of people use social media to keep in touch with non-local friends, among many other useful things.
Twitter had verification based on the account's noteworthiness, and now it doesn't. That was one of the main features of Twitter, and now Threads.net has it.
Uh oh, sounds like somebody could use some shoshin!
And this no longer works as of 2003/07/05. It redirects back to the /shorts/ version. :(
The other things I really like about GitLab's CI is that it's easy to use different images/machines for different tasks. For example, the build of a CUDA-using job can be done on any hardware, but the testing needs CUDA access. Instead of tying up our CUDA machines on boring compiles, the jobs are split on build/test lines so that the CUDA hardware has a better shot of actually being utilized well. Same thing with giving only testing access to things like X11 setups or whatnot.

One can also build once and test multiple ways with this method (e.g., build a ABI3-using Python wheel once and test it with all newer versions of Python with distinct jobs to spread the work and to allow the pipeline to show better things at a glance.

I have no idea how to do such "tee" bits in GitHub Actions (though I haven't looked in a while, the artifacts usage seem…convoluted compared to GitLab's "here's a list of globs"). For that matter, "join"s would be nice too (e.g., to collect the 20 or so wheels built across various jobs into one `twine` upload).
The issue is plastic doesn’t reasonably biodegrade when left alone and doesn’t recycle well. We can make transport use cleaner energy, but we seemingly can’t make plastic meaningfully more disposable/reusable.
This repo gave me a good laugh.
I'm not sure I understand the "source" term here. All the AI images I've seen so far were generated by humans using software tools like neural networks.
My biggest love of designing (document layout) in a spreadsheet is that I can set oh so many format bits a certain way, say a column width and it stays the same.

Compared to the last couple days at work, where a previously existing dynamic(ish) table of contents in a word document is driving me absolutely batty with how it tries and/or fails to format lines as I edit them to reflect further changes to the document. I want to scream and tear my hair out, good god.
I've repeatedly heard about how great apple trackpads are over the years, and felt confused because I've never found the trackpads on non mac computers to be worse than macs. My theory is that profligate mac users try another computer, notice the trackpad is different from what they're used to, and decide that this difference amounts to being worse. Since nobody tunes their trackpads exactly like apple does, they are doomed to deciding that there is no trackpad as good as apple's.
Some jurisdictions will actually basically pay the landlord to improve those things, worth checking community block grants and other similar search terms for your location.
I dunno if this applies to every case but I'll point out that doing that preserves the repo at a point in time from deletion but using GitHub's disk space, which is why there's a storm of them for any socially problematic repo. I'm aware the DMCA takedowns can easily target the forks but it's easy to take your chances

Having a diversity of water supplies and using water fit for purpose reduces demand for drinking water. Toilet flushing, irrigation and even washing machines do not need high quality drinking water. I have 5,000L of rainwater storage that I use for toilet flushing and irrigation. Combined with a water efficient shower head (typically the largest domestic water use in my country) we use 100 L/d/person. In some areas of my city there is dual supply plumbing that delivers highly treated wastewater for these uses.
What does "noteworthy" mean? Who decides what's noteworthy?

> 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.

I specifically said the majority of people under 25 live in the Global South. That's simply an objective fact down to larger population and higher fertility. And the Global South has nothing to with the Equator.
It's progressing, but maybe not in the way you think. 1 model will not rule them all, they'll get overtaken by vertical LLM's specialized with niche, high quality data sets.

Also prompt templates are rapidly progressing. "Tree of Thought" is the latest state of the art, but we're not applying predictive probabilistic tree traversal yet.

There's still a ton of low hanging fruit everywhere. Why are we inputting with language instead of code? Seems really backwards to use imprecise freeform language instead of intent templates.
It could be a game like terraria or minecraft or factorio, or a game map editor, or a middle school hand calculator, or spreadsheets, or an automatic hotkey or macro app, or anything that is at all flexible or extensible. Of course several of these wrap real programming languages but it's not obvious at first especially if you never did programming. There are so many ways, and it's likely that embryonic hackers will come across something like this and use it to make silly program-like experiments and tinkering before they learn how to program. Or at least that was true earlier. Maybe replacement of computers with phones has changed it, I don't know.
"Wipe out someone else's commits by force pushing to the main branch."

Let's see, FB has about 2 billion daily actives, Insta has like 3 to 4 billion? Assume half of them are sleeping there should still be a couple billion Meta user online about now and only 2 million of them so far have downloaded it?

We got 8 million downloads (not updates, full downloads) in one day back in the desktop era when there were only a couple billion people online in total.

This feels pretty weak to me. I wonder if that's intentional, get the enthusiasts on first, for free, as it were, then turn on the firehose later on to get the "olds" over from FB and the "influencers" over from Insta?
This reads like an advertisement copy, either by their parent company Sina or by CCP (which I guess doesn't really matter). No, I don't know any illustrators migrate to Weibo BECAUSE OF the recent Twitter troubles. The whole Japanese community is still quite reliant on Twitter, and Weibo is a completely different beast.

There are indeed some Japanese illustrator getting an Weibo account because:

1) They want to tackle the Chinese market and serve Chinese fans. Getting an Weibo account is a pretty legitimate way to do this, but I don't see they abandoning their original Twitter, Pawoo, Pixiv things; that doesn't make sense. Also... the Chinese market is quite sensitive. Once someone—anyone—finds out something you drew several years ago can remotely be interpreted as insulting China[1], or someone doesn't like what you're doing today in Japan and interprets that as insulting China[2], you're done there.

2) Pirate account opened by Chinese fans, used for storing unlicensed contents of the original illustrators. Although this seems to be against Chinese laws, in practice, the original author/illustrator can't do anything about it.
