Reuters and AP News tend to have less sensationalist stuff.

CNN and Fox News directly tell you who you should vote for 24/7.

NBC, ABC, etc. tend to be a little bit more discrete but they have clear preferences on various topics.

There is case law, yes.

I'm not familiar with exactly the comments which were said, so I can't really say what exactly happened. But there's definitely been many times in the past, many times that probably never resulted in some big legal battle that people wrote a lot about, where a professor was censured for how they conducted their classroom.

That said, I'm not really arguing TAMU/The State of Texas is in the moral right here. I'm definitely down to not give them the benefit of the doubt in this instance, but just hearing the idea that a non-tenured? professor said something potentially really bad that ultimately cost them their job, doesn't really strike me as something impossible and entirely without precedent. Things are different when you're a government employee and you're on the clock, often for good reason. Not that censuring professors for speaking potentially factual statements is a good reason though.
Relatedly I learned the other day how Washington kept some men in captivity who he forcibly took teeth from to cobble together from different men’s oral wounds his famous dentures. Interesting
There's a part we can all play here and that is to downvote no-effort/low-value comments. I do that and occasionally explicitly respond to people asking them to refer to the HN guidelines and not turn HN into Slashdot. Jokes (with no other content), sarcasm and the like should all get downvoted. Thoughtful/high-effort comments should be upvoted.
3 bud lights? Yeah.

3 unfiltered IPAs? I’m not getting up from bed the next day.
The math you're sharing makes sense - still, the useful utility is there. It's still working hardware, and if linux can keep that equipment running on it's own, it's hard to imagine why Chromebooks couldn't keep running.

Maybe it's worth preparing them with an alternate distribution that will get updates for much longer.
>This goes against the idea of a federated system

no, it is the very idea of a federated system. The principal benefit of a federation is freedom of assembly and movement. Communities can moderate how they see fit, be much more opinionated, and people who don't like it have the ability to leave.

If all you want is free speech the ideal technical solution is a centralized firehose. The entire point of running your own instance is that you have the ability to control who is in or out and what gets broadcasted. Otherwise we could save ourselves the complexity.
I went down this road a bit too for a project where I wanted to minimise the enclosure complexity, keep everything in and out of the box to nice circular conectors... and yeah it was tempting to get into the MIL-DTL-38999 train, but I needed some high amperage low voltage DC stuff for power (it was a 3d printer project and I needed stuff like 8-14 Amps and 24-48V DC for various heaters, and a lot of these are nice for high density data, but its hard to find one that can do multiple higher power connections. I ended up giving up since I would find so many that got close but in the end the project form factor changed due to cooling issues (larger enclosure for more airflow due to insufficient fan static pressure)

They are definitely cool connectors though if you only need a bunch of data and don't need the higher power density I needed at the time.

Sure, here is some more information about the backdoor in TETRA radio code encryption:

TETRA (Terrestrial Trunked Radio) is a digital mobile radio standard used by public safety organizations, such as police, fire, and ambulance services. TETRA uses a variety of security features to protect communications, including encryption.

In 2022, a team of security researchers from Midnight Blue, a Dutch security company, revealed that TETRA's encryption has a backdoor. The backdoor allows authorized users to decrypt TETRA communications without the need for a password or key.

The backdoor was discovered in the TETRA encryption algorithm, which is called ALE (Advanced Link Encipherment). ALE is a block cipher that uses a 128-bit key. The backdoor allows authorized users to decrypt TETRA communications by using a 64-bit key.

Looks like abandonware, and like it never went very far. I'm thinking more like modern Linux: originally, it was just a simple kernel and userspace (using GNU), and interesting to play with if you didn't mind a simple Unix-like system that only had text mode and couldn't really do much. Then XFree86 was added, and lots of other stuff eventually, and now it's a completely modern system running modern software, usable for all modern computing activities on modern hardware. FreeVMS never got there it seems. I'm wondering what it would be like if it had.
So what you're saying is that it basically acts like the old Internet, where the requirement of being able to read instructions acted as a filter against stupidity?
I think the most interesting part of AI doomsaying is that almost all of these risks apply to biological 'systems' too. There's no reason why a human can't be born that somehow has superhuman intelligence and does all of the things these evil AI would do. Moreover, a biological superintelligence has self-replication built into the system already!
All federated systems will be centralized.

Once you get a way to navigate federated things, the navigation becomes the core of the experience.

The crux of the internet experience is that Quantity is a quality in itself.
Once the navigation window becomes core, and handles the highest volumes, it’s easier to streamline monetary rewards to a single place.

Federated communities that work better with whatever navigator/window/Tool is created do well, and will have more resources to expand and gain users.
Does that mean you have to run it on the CPU? Or can you use the GPU with system RAM?
Thankyou that’s really helpful! The CTO lead times on Mac are huge here so it’s either the pro with 16 or the max with 32. Ideally I’d go pro with 64.
Humans have been anatomically modern for about 200k years, and sufficiently little about us has changed that an autopsy wouldn't find any differences unless it looked for things like the teeth and jaw showing a pre-grain/agriculture diet and things like that. (But our teeth and jaws would look like that too if we could kick this whole grain habit).

Evolution is slow (unless it's a huge bottleneck event).
Hook it to chatgpt and let them both have an endless conversation :)
Running just some of the layers on the GPU can still make things much faster, though.
There are about 17 of these "SQL but better if we start with the FROM statement at the top" languages.

The language-integrated query (Linq) feature of .NET works the same away:

var studentsGroupByStandard = from s in studentList
group s by s.StandardID into sg
orderby sg.Key
select new { sg.Key, sg };

Another example is Microsoft's Kusto Query Language, which they use in Azure Log Analytics:

StormEvents
| where State == 'TEXAS' and EventType == 'Flood'
| top 5 by DamageProperty desc
| extend Duration = EndTime - StartTime
> But I'm not aware of a reason why anyone wouldn't want to use swimlanes.io

Totally fair; personal preference. For me I could quite easily replace swimlanes in your comment with my own site, and I'm sure others would have alternatives that also seem an obvious first pick - there's rarely one size fits all.
Plz feel free to try the benchmark tool and make an issue with more details if it is not reproducible. Then we can dig it to see if there is any misusage or bug in the benchmark code. :)

I don't think one can easily compare HN to other forums, so saying the results are predictable is a bit harsh.

I have been in many irc channels that were extremely harsh on cluebies, but all the flaming turned into a sport by itself, and drove away from the content. The same goes for usenet, many subreddits, and Twitter.

I think HN is doing amazingly well after such a long time. It would be guesswork to say how it would end up with a less kind moderator. I for one would have left, but perhaps I'm too kind.

It is annoying that people spread misinformation, but a quick scan of a user's comment history often gives a good indication of their credibility.

Take heart - you most likely would have died before the age of five. If you survived past that, you were likely to make it well past 35. Historically high childhood mortality is what pulls down average life expectancy.

In the UK YT Premium is £11.99, Netflix Standard (no ads) is £10.99

For comparison my 5G phone plan is £10/month, and my home fibre connection ADSL is £22/month.

YouTube premium is therefore a tough sell - with netflix you at least get loads of stuff you wouldn't have seen otherwise, YT you get the same stuff you could see anyway, just without ads.

I personally don't see that as a good deal. If it was like £2 or £3 a month to remove the ads, then great sign me up. But it's not.
dang has a different style than pg did but I really don't think that's the issue. The site is big now and has absorbed a lot of people fleeing Reddit and Twitter and they've brought that culture with them. dang's moderation has continuously been evenhanded and well applied. The site has changed despite his efforts, IMO.
The majority of users now are on the net to use products that have a practical function they want. Early net users were on the net because they could express their creativity by creating something or were part of a small community that filled a need for them. A relative small audience compare to the audience size today. Any products that fills the need for the largest audience becomes very superficial. We are seeing that with today's internet.

Ask HN: What are some no-code portfolio website builders you know or use?
I am writing a blog post on no-code website builders which freelancers or makers can use to build their portfolio. Shouldn't involve any coding - and it's great if it is with custom domain too.

I have a list of 10 such tools right now - and I want 5 more to make it 15 tools list.

I view their failure to put users first as a giant opportunity for someone else to come along and do a better job.
> The original goal of federation was to make sure everybody has to read everyone else on the internet’s posts

This could not be further from the truth. The goal of federation is to _allow_ everyone to read other's posts, NOT to force them to. You don't get to invite yourself and all your mates to my party. Your freedom ends where my nose begins. My freedom is in choosing who I associate with and who I don't.

Man, there's something about those old amiga tunes that keep me coming back.
Plus I learned a lot from the demoscene when I was a kid, even tho the amiga was on its way out already.

I binge stuff like that or arcadey songs from mid 2000s games like Need for Speed, UT, when I wanna get fired up before coding or starting my day, or when delivering something under the clock (pressure mine, really)

For focusing, as in real focusing, that's a different story: I prefer ambient peaceful drone songs, or some minimal compositions. Kind of Tomasz Bednarczyk, Chihei Hakateyama, or just plain rain noise.

There's an in between that could be anything, but for what I like to call 'thinking music' I find more moved compositions, like Hania Rani fititng.
4.5L of 0.5% ABV beer would not make you drunk. For comparison, this is equivalent to less than a pint of a typical mainstream beer. Indeed a 0.5% ABV drink can be branded alcohol free (at least in the UK).

Would 4.5L of 2% ABV make you drunk? Depends how quickly you can drink it. It's 9 units of alcohol. We commonly assume the body can process 1 unit/hour so if this quantity was consumed over an entire day, I don't think you'd get merry.

I'm not saying it's a good idea to drink like this, just highlighting the impact of ABV on the outcome.

Lobsters is too focused around PLs, systems coding, and FOSS politics for my tastes. The content in other computing niches is just too cursory to be interesting.
My gripe is that the author in question holds a master's in education - not psychology, not an MD, and produces theories that are not aligned with established practice - meaning this book is likely harmful bull.
Fwiw I strip out my dev deps before publishing. I've started bundling in the prod deps and stripping them too. That way if I need like 5 random functions from 5 random packages the end result just includes the 5 funcs and has 0 deps. It avoids version issues too. And I don't minify anymore so it's very readable.
If it is your opinion, why do you believe it does not matter?

That’s just it: computing is ordinary and in most cases a commodity. Same as petroleum, wheat, and gold. When business normalizes around a commodity, all the excitement, novelty, and wonder is lost. Consumers demand it, suppliers crank it out. Who cares? Don’t get me wrong. I’m grateful the staples are always there on the proverbial shelf. But am I enthusiastically interested and passionate about that?
I’m quite sure they were being sarcastic.

HN is a laughing joke now, compare to the old days. For every popular thread there are at least 50% of comments are outright wrong, or unimportant bike-shedding.

To the point some people created a satire website called n-gate some years before just to laugh at HN. And for sure for every top place popular HN thread right now there will be a lot of people posting the link just to laugh at the comments.
Ah yes. Ignorance, the true driver of innovation...
I just join the Matrix rooms and Discords associated with projects I enjoy. People there usually discuss adjacent projects as well and the nature of people coming to discuss the project keeps the chatter deep and focused. One topic I enjoy is networking and distributed systems and for that, the #yggdrasil:matrix.org room is great. It's centered around the Yggdrasil mesh overlay network. The Nix Matrix room is also a great way to learn about systems coding and all sorts of gotchas when it comes to reproducible builds.
The problem for me is how rarely you'd use it. I could see myself buying this, and using it forever, but only a few times a year. Monthly pricing for quarterly or semi-annual check ins doesn't feel like the right trade off. (I say this as someone who uses Actual Budget monthly).

I looked at your lifetime subscription and was keen on that for the reasons above but $500USD is eye watering.
I think that's a direct result of the 'weird' way our economy works: we've moved away from customer satisfaction to investor satisfaction.

Nowadays, companies exist to increase their stock value so their managers get bigger bonuses. You don't get more stock by being better to your customers: ruthlessly firing people also increases your stock value. Putting users first might make your company look not worthy of investment: the market selects for stockholder-first companies.

Depends on... everything?

Last week I drank 3 liters of beers and was pretty fine. It's when I went for the next liter and vodka when I... were fine, honestly. Not great, sure, and any sport activity was out of question. The biggest problem was what I came home at 5 AM which of course messed up my schedule again.
The article also mentioned the beer ration could be passed to families.

Which had me thinking of various pecuniary benefits armies pass and why. Salt -> salary is well documented, on the opposite side slightly less so but still somewhat known was for conquering armies to compensate farmers for essentially pillage as the monetary compensation can't buy much grain nor meat when the army's eaten the village's as well as that of surrounding villages. It also wasn't unusual for state coffers to run dry also, delaying soldiers' salaries, plus graft - several banks still around were founded on the basis of lending to a liquidity starved crown, a modern placation and guarantee of support in the classical baronesque sense perhaps.

And I became curious about all the other money-like tokens, like these beer rations, backed by the promise of a commodity, that floated around in those time, and in ours today. Meandering thoughts, the best kind.
It’s 8 pints of 13% ABV if you look at the table in the article. Manageable over the course of a day, but you’re definitely drinking.
I'm working on this right now. I miss when the user determined how the data was presented. I'm making a minimal, markdown-based document network similar to gemini or gopher.

I read a post on LinkedIn by Timnit Gebru, where she shared an anonymous post by a student who said that their paper was being rejected due to having seemingly high AI written content. Their paper was evaluated by Turnitin who claim to have a built an AI detector. The student mentioned it was putting their career at risk, and they hadn't actually taken the help of any AI and was actually a 4.0 student throughout their college career.

So assuming all that to be true, how can the likes of Turnitin claim to be an authority for AI writing detection. When I graduated a few years back, they used to offer plag check only.
I would rather write software for precision guided bombs than write software for a U.S. insurance company. Over the course of your career, the bombs will by far have been responsible for less death and ruin fewer peoples lives.
This is great to hear!

I'm not there yet but totally intended to try putting Clojurescript and Expo together. Too many ideas require apps and Clojure is too great not to take with me yet I wouldn't do apps without Expo.

Exciting! Thanks for sharing!

I'm on re-frame too and that's been a dream.

I just wish I had a better UI lib on the (web) frontend. I went with re-com and it feels a bit half-done, though it's working for all my needs so far, I might just sending PRs if it comes to it.
The system currently presumes Good Faith, and given human nature I'd put forward it should in fact presume Bad Faith...
That is true. I think it's because of the small community. I am working on something with a friend so I can apply similar filtering to HN. HN has a good mass of people and some smart people but it's got a lot of repetitive LLM-style content. Once it is done, I think I shall be happy.
> Integration between your repository (git?), your CI system, and your chat tool. When people aren't in the same room, or at the same coffee machine, this is a great way to build peripheral awareness of what's being done.

Can you please elaborate? I mean technically do you mean just something that takes git PRs. CI statuses, error traces, etc. and sends push notifications to Slack/Teams/etc., or something more sophisticated like GitHub Actions committing realtime meeting transcripts and their AI geenerated summaries to a git repo?

Google is still the default for search, and the monopolist on search ads. Open AI has ways to go to beat Google, and going by the recent performance concerns of ChatGPT, it's not highly inspiring either.
This is a "have your cake and eat it" problem.

You can make devices around being unbreachable and self-attesting. Go build a SBC and sink in a block of epoxy.

But they also want the appeal of the open, hackable world-- cheap kit that's advancing quickly, commodity technology and infrastructure.

I am actually sort of disappointed we never ended up with a world of special-purpose sealed devices-- put a proper payment terminal on everyone's desk instead of trusting nobody slapped a keylogger into your browser while you're typing card numbers, for example.
