This guy is definitely more knowledgeable about railroad operations than I am, but I'll just point out that the Chicago built environment can support a few million more people than it currently has. The expansion of an in-city rail yard in an economically depressed area of the city is not a disaster, and could prove to be a catalyst (however small) to improvements, and in 20-30 years that land could be reclaimed fairly easily for urban living once they accomplish the long-term goals that the author envisions.
> This goes on here, on Reddit, Twitter, wherever a discussion about Musk arises. The only difference between HN and Reddit on this topic is that HN is slightly more highbrow, although the same general attacks get repeated here as they do on Reddit.

My casual observation says that HN has become more "Reddit-Like" in terms of low quality and off-topic posting since the whole Reddit API/MOD debacle.

And yes, I see the irony. I get it.
If the noisy signals are not completely correlated then the signal would be enhanced; however in this case I imagine that there is likely to be a strong correlation between different tools which would mean adding additional sources may not be so useful.
Do you mean Sept 2020? I believe everything shutdown (in most US states and European countries) in March 2020.

Only wondering because ~3 years versus a little less than 2 years seems like a potentially big difference, so wondering if that feeling of fulfillment has is still going strong that long

The most important subtext. There are engineer friends of mine laid off from remote companies that, almost 5 months later, cannot get work. These aren't braindead seatwarmers either. The software engineer market has shifted under our feet DRAMATICALLY. Any software engineer with a position should try to keep it for as long as they possible can.
I did some years ago install Linux on a Chromebook. I didn't do much of anything with it, but then I didn't do much of anything with the Chromebook at all.
Whether they have violated the contract, like all of law is up to interpretation; Most likely, given Amazon's large team of lawyers, I'm sure they could get away with almost anything.
Now that is the same idea I also believe in. People are just capitalizing on it like it's a child's toy. This thing can have profound societal implications but no one writes about it. Is there a reason?

Also some of the people hyping it around are confident. How can they be so confident? Is it just blatantly lying into another's face and hoping you won't get caught?
The problem with stackoverflow is simple: it eschews it’s core use case to be something unnecessarily autistic.

Instead of being a platform that encourages those with experience to mentor and lead, and those without to seek experience, without punishment, it takes the opinion that “dumb questions are the ones that have already been asked and it’s the responsibility of the newbie to know if their question has already been asked.” It seeks to be the training set for its replacement rather than be its replacement.

Then a new product comes around to support the core use case newbies want more directly:

Yeah, of course we fucking left. Because surprise, if you’re constantly learning, you’ll always be a newbie at another thing. If SO had been an actual community, it would merged with an LLM rather than being eaten by them.
What do you mean by information content.
"Half a year later, that tool is dead, killed because it couldn’t do what it was designed to do."

This was my conclusion as well testing the image detectors.

Current automated detection isn’t very reliable. I tried out Optic’s AI or Not , which boasts 95% accuracy, on a small sample of my own images. It correctly labeled those with AI content as AI generated, but it also labeled about 50% of my own stock photo composites I tried as AI generated. If generative AI was not a moving target I would be optimistic such tools could advance and become highly reliable. However, that is not the case and I have doubts this will ever be a reliable solution.

from my article on AI art - https://www.mindprison.cc/p/ai-art-challenges-meaning-in-a-w...
Firstly, this tool cannot be made better than it is due to the nature of its construction, it is completely intrinsic. Secondly, as LLM models improve, as they are guaranteed to do, this tool can only become worse as it becomes increasingly difficult to distinguish between human and AI written text.
Is it? I think it's a symptom of lack of science and math education. No one who understands both of them would think that either is proof that the other one is "fake".
> I was able to move closer to my church community, so my "human interaction" need is being fulfilled richer than ever now.

This is what the "but you need human interaction" return-to-office crowd doesn't understand.

WFH !== Being alone

WFH means surrounding yourself with the people you choose to be around.

Whether that's your church community, fellow hobbyists, intramural sports teams, the local co-working space, etc.

Plus, that can include "my coworkers" for anyone that wants to make work a bigger part of their life, like those working in startups. However, this should be the exception, not the rule like it has been.

It should be your choice...
But where do those folders appear? Are they still visible in the sidebar? Because the whole purpose of saving those bookmarks, to me, is to remove visual clutter while still having them available when needed.
This comment makes zero sense whatsoever… in the small small chance this was posted by an actually misguided person rather for reactions:

Without humans the moon still would have existed, bound by gravity in an orbit that can be described by what is called math. Discovering and naming a concept does not mean creating it. Antarctica was not created by the person who saw and named it, neither did the first person to try to measure the circumference of a circle decide that it should be 3.14 times the diameter. Whether or not it was measured and named it would still be the same ratio.
I think it will be increasingly irrelevant what specific process generated a text, for example. Already before genAI people did not in general query into how politicians' speeches were crafted etc.
Is it not true in technology that either everyone has access to protected communications, or none do?

If the world needs products like Signal, then we just have to accept the inevitable fact that everyone will get products like Signal, or none will. This isn't enriched uranium, it can't be restricted to the few approved.
One of the tech industry’s greatest snake oil peddlers maybe isn’t the right person to look to provide solutions here.

I've had mixed success using a template. I can modify the content, but it always looks a little janky - not quite as slick as I want.

My strategy for the next project is to take a template that I like, and hire a designer to customize it. A lot of the "janky" feel is because I don't select graphics that match the theme, and/or the copy doesn't fit quite right. That final polish is a result of expertise and effort.
Experience has led me to believe that if they cannot do it this way, it is unlikely they can do it any way.
samclemens should have rewritten the headline to include the word "pivot" when submitting this!

I know "editorializing" the HN headline is frowned upon but surely it would be OK in this case.
The main vulnerability isn't the man in the middle per se. Rather it's the unforgeable attestation of exactly what software an end-user is running, by the user's own hardware having been designed to betray the user's interests. This would allow powerful websites to prohibit the use of user-representing agents altogether, and essentially mark the end of the open web.
I want to like Arc but I found the onboarding to be very weak. How did you learn to use it in the way the designers intended? Where is the "Master Arc in 5 Minutes" video?

Now that's an interesting idea. It keeps options open which is vital. I suspect it will be easier just to have a second "normie" device but I love the idea.
There's vastly more than 1 bit of information in those proteins. If there was just 1 bit, then that would mean that any randomly generated protein would have a 50% chance of having those properties (which is false.)
that does not include everything a space contains.
I can't imagine going into an office again. I've been remote for 2/3 of my career (long before COVID). I would be happy to go to a meet up or something once a week after hours. I never want to have an open office arrangement where I am bothered CONSTANTLY again. Remote has been such a boon to my life and my productivity you'd have to pry it from my cold, dead hands.
You can’t please all of the people any of the time. Arc is great in its rethinking of several aspects of how we’ve come to believe a browser should work. Bookmarks, because of the way Arc archives tabs, are very different in Arc … but no worse than the abyss in other browsers. I seldom peruse the 2500+ bookmarks & tend to just search. If a search product could search that abyss & the web I’d be in an echo chamber; it’s a fine line … but all browsers could do better especially the ones run by a search company. Arc has some features I’ll probably never use, too; but they’re not in the way.

Hopefully the competition bodes well for end users with open minds.

There was a comment 10 years ago about Facebook's acquisition of Instagram comparing it to Google/Youtube which was especially notable because it asked readers to "check back in 2022".

(https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3818055)

> This is not going to be one of the best tech acquisitions of the next decade.

> Instagram is a photo service in a sea of other photo services.

The interesting thing to me was their comment wasn't 'wrong' per se, but just that their logic was founded on that false assessment ("photo service"). In fact, their assessment of the value/success in YouTube's acquisition could have been applied to Instagram (in that it let Facebook access a different type of image-based social sharing).
Those running Unbound DNS and likely anyone on PiHole which uses Unbound can already benefit from talking to the fastest upstream DoT/DoH providers and may configure the balance or preference without leaking the same name to each provider, if I am understanding the diagram and documentation correctly regarding SmartDNS. Unbound can passively keep track of how fast each upstream provider is [1] and supports DoT/DoH if DoH support was compiled in and can forward specific zones to non DoT if required.

fast-server-num: 4
fast-server-permil: 200

forward-zone:
name: "."
forward-addr: 74.82.42.42@853#ordns.he.net
forward-addr: 45.67.219.208@853#dot.la.ahadns.net
forward-addr: 185.235.82.82@853#b.ns.dnslify.com
forward-addr: 141.95.160.38@853#geo.dnswarden.com
forward-addr: 146.255.56.98@853#dot1.applied-privacy.net
forward-addr: 144.202.69.149@853#adblockdot.us.dnswarden.com

In the above example we balance across the 4 fastest of those providers 200 out of 1000 times. Using DoT examples as not every Linux distribution compiles in DoH support

my friend, CO2 is a natural part of the atmosphere and is emitted from your mouth with every breath you take. Carbon monoxide (CO) is the dangerous gas that you are thinking of.

Kind of like how cocaine was a 'white' drug and criminal sentences were less than for 'crack' that was a 'black' drug and had stiffer penalties.

The groups using a particular drug were attacked through the laws against specific drugs.
Can't watch video right now, but the blog isn't helpful. I just want to know about the browser, not all the navel-gazing around the browser. But, since another commenter mentioned you need an account to use the browser at all, it doesn't matter anyway.

Self-driving cars are still a terrible idea; and there's a reason why SF has famously terrible urban design.
Arc's tab management philosophy is really interesting; Tabs are transient unless pinned. But, discarded tabs can still be easily found in an archive if necessary. Mini-Arc is browser pop-up window that is tab-less and (mostly) without any browser chrome for quick, read-once pages.

Their whole approach is great for minimalists (especially for someone like me with ADHD) but will probably be hated by the many tab hoarders on HN.

If nothing else, I hope Arc inspires other browser makers to think outside the box with stuff like this.
I have read the book. I'm saying that I don’t find any textual support in it for your narrow interpretation of the paradox of tolerance. Under that title it's treated by Popper in one brief and quite vague paragraph. If you think that other parts of the book point to a narrower or more specific version of the paradox of tolerance, then you should at least be able to give some indication of which parts.

Also, he more-or-less does endorse the idea just a little bit beyond the famous paragraph:

>All these paradoxes can easily be avoided if we frame our political demands
the way suggested in section II of this chapter, or perhaps in some such as this.
We demand a government that rules according to the principles of
equalitarianism and protectionism; that tolerates all who are prepared to
reciprocate, i.e. who are tolerant; that is controlled by, and accountable to, the
public.
> It amazes me what the bios and OS or OS api's let you do, even on modern devices.

Same, but not necessarily in a negative way. I like pushing my hardware and software to the limits, becoming unable to push those limits would be pretty disappointing.

Basically the entire southeastern half of modern day Ukraine, which is among the best cultivatable land in the world, was uninhabitable because it was naturally steppe and living there put you at constant risk of raids from horse nomads (Crimean Tartars).

And because it was uninhabited, regular armies could not cross it (due to lack of forage), so the Tartars could not be atta Ked on a large scale.
Binaries aren't available for Windows. They show a "Join Windows waitlist" button that leads to an Email form.
Sounds bad, but just change "dumb" for "naive" or "biased" and we agree.

To be more specific, it helps me identify the ways people gets behind some weird idea and maybe why. Same goes for the negativity that someone mentions in another comment, it's the same to me: unexpected reactions that say more about who reacts than about the criticized idea.
I actually didn't realize Canada already has a carbon tax. Thank you for sharing.

That refund does look laughably small compared to the price increases.

You're misquoting the OP, "surprised at how many" can simply mean any existing at all, depending on one's expectations. More to the point though, this isn't "drawing narrow boundaries around how scientific questions can be discussed" or anything of the sort. It's recognizing some of the comments for what they are: bad faith attempts at pushing a religious agenda.
Solid experience over the last 6+ months. Very few crashes if at all. Transparent weekly updates (yay Thursdays). Can’t get enough of my split views and spaces. Kudos to the team
I wasn't talking about different countries. Obviously there are issues that can hold large geographic regions down.

(Basically) no intelligent teenager in America is held down by poverty. My parents were relatively poor, didn't go to college, worked long hours, and I went to a public school and certainly didn't have any tutoring and didn't receive much help with homework.

I did well enough on my ACT to go to a private college for pretty close to free. Even if that doesn't happen you can go to a state school that doesn't need great grades, take out loans for the entire amount, get a degree for a good paying job, and suddenly you're out of poverty.
yep, I think it is a miracle that we can still reach almost any IP from any other one. Only a matter of time until this goes away imo. I‘m already increasingly forced to bounce around VPNs to access websites from different countries
What would that even accomplish?

And no, even if it were created as part of vaccine or coronavirus research, that would not equate to it being a biological weapon. That's an absolutely unjustified leap. Do you know how virus research works? Clearly not. They still have smallpox viruses sitting around in labs. I don't know if there is any active research related to improving the smallpox vaccine, but if there were, and there were a release, in what way could you possibly classify vaccines as biological weapons?

But back to the original point: WHY? There is ample evidence that this particular lab had lax safety protocols that might have resulted in a leak of the virus. There is also evidence that similar viruses existed in the wild animal population of the area. They may or may not have been studying one of those viruses in the lab, but that alone doesn't prove where it first infected a human.

But say you have incontrovertible proof. What does that change?

People who died will remain dead. People with long COVID will remain ill. We can rattle sabers at China, but they're likely to continue to deny it was their fault. So what does happen? We can extrapolate from the past:

1. People of Chinese (or any east Asian) ancestry will be treated badly or even killed in twisted "revenge" fantasies of various idiots around the world.

2. The saber rattling could escalate to actual hot war, and more people would die.

3. Say I'm wrong and China does admit the lab screwed up. What then? They'll fire and/or execute people who were responsible. And...? It's not like they're going to pay compensation to everyone who lost a loved one around the world. They'll perform some political theater, and after a news cycle it will fade away.

I don't see an upside unless you're hoping for #3 and think that killing or jailing a few more people will somehow even the scales? Killing or jailing people for incompetence seems cruel and unusual to me. Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.
CDNs are a problem. Half the internet is behind cloudflare, which you already painfully notice when using Tor Browser.
You are exhibiting a deplorable behavior here, equating questioning of a scientific hypothesis with creationism dogwhistling.

When did asking "how do we know" become forbidden in science? Convention OoL is looking entirely too dogmatic and religious for my taste.
Even if X isn't the right solution to my use case I still often want to know _why_ X (or my implementation of X) doesn't work. The answer to that might be a really valuable learning independent of the problem at hand.
1. Being up to date with science, news, and tech. HN never disappoint in seeing what's going on in many industries not just tech.

2. Sometimes, the comments are not actually related to the topic itself (just the title), but nevertheless, I find value reading different perspectives in the comments.
My first thought upon hearing about it was that long covid seemed like a rather general autoimmune disorder. But the researchers all seemed very hesitant to label it as such. Perhaps just because they haven't isolated which antibodies are being elevated, but also perhaps there is a compounding effect from organ damage? The impact of viral loads will some day be viewed as what shaped history and held us back from faster progress.
As it ages, Stack Overflow is developing a problem where the accepted answers to questions are obsolete and no longer work.
APIs get added and removed, new languages change syntax, etc. This is particularly the case in mobile.

Stack Overflow has no good mechanism for ousting obsolete answers in favor of the current right answer.
Yeah. This seems like a 15-min fix vs trying to get 10,000 signatures to petition Google's deaf ears.

The laptops still work fine, despite being 7 years old. It's their own stupid test environment that's an issue.
What utter nonsense. Google is a publicly traded for-profit company, not a sovereign government or charitable cause.

The entire point of Google's moonshots is new profitable businesses, of which Waymo is not and has never been. Comparing to the United States Government because they both used the term "moonshot" is beyond silly.

For a Google moonshot to land, it has to make money, or it won't continue to exist. It's really not a complex concept.
i'm interpreting this as: they're making a connection between reduced (but not eliminted) long covid risk after vaccination (compared to a higher risk when not being vaccinated at all).
Wildly successful is kinda vague and subjective. Successful as a business is one thing, mass market adoption is another thing, both can happen but are they both "wildly successful"?
There is inherent conflict in having both an AI tool business and an AI tool detection business.

If the first does a good job, the second fails. And vice versa.

I think you mean there's a lack of broad consensus among scientists as to the root cause. There's scientific evidence aplenty. What constitutes as evidence of illness, if not ill people?
