Well, seeing that I got a job that will pay me 1 million+ over the course of four years from a BigTech recruiter reaching out to me in 2020 all at the “expense” of creating a profile and reading an email when they sent me a message, I think the tradeoff was well worth it.

How much money have you made by creating a profile on HN and reading and posting to it and giving it your attention since 2015?
They’re lured out of their hipster game studios with candy to end up sitting in cubicle offices getting their ideas downvoted by enterprisy manager-hierarchies.
This site ripped its entire database from Flashpoint Archive (https://flashpointarchive.org/), including all of the metadata, screenshots and "Hall of Fame" list. As a contributor to Flashpoint, I'm not opposed to sites like this (as long as they remain nonprofit endeavors), but I think they should make these facts clear.

In addition to its desktop client, Flashpoint Archive also offers its own experimental web frontend called 9o3o (https://ooooooooo.ooo/static/browse/), also using Ruffle for playback. It's not as fleshed out as Flash Museum yet, but games are embedded at their intended resolution and other efforts have been made to improve game compatibility, so I think it is already a worthy alternative.

I am not opposed to analysis; there is, however, a point where existing system is so irredeemably corrosive that measured and conservative approaches just mean excess harm. It certainly makes all solutions proposed worth considering; it’s hard to imagine a much worse answer to public safety than the US prison.

We didn’t land on the current extreme via well-reasoned debate and there’s a permanent human cost to allowing it to continue. Waiting for the best solution is a luxury and it’s easy for the average commenter here - statistically not affected - to do exactly that.

> I'm not supporting the status quo.

I believe that you do not intend to, but arguments against change inherently support the current state of things, and it’s quite hard to parse out intent and effect at 4am, so apologies there.
> Only after resources have been distributed along familiar lines of gender and race do discussions of equality enter the scene. [...] The colonization of data to generate training sets resembles a familiar plot in our world. Pioneers have once again sailed into the horizons, hoarding wealth and disregarding potential claims to property that don’t fit within the dominant legal system.

Isn't this analogy backwards, and the "hoarders" should be existing copyright behemoths (that even had a hand in writing copyright law), who currently hold the most resources? The AI companies that scrape the data aren't depriving anyone of that data. Complaining that "after resources have been distributed, do discussions of equality enter the scene" makes no sense - the data will still be there, for anyone else to train on it.
>Unbridled growth for a few companies at the expense of the people is not a positive goal.

You make many points worth responding to, but I'd like to remark that I can't agree with your contention that there is no feedback about moderation.

Much as it's discouraged, people frequently discuss moderation in hn comments, furthermore I know that lots of people (including ourselves) have engaged with dang privately about this. YMMV, of course, but I've found him nothing but humble and enthusiastic about improving the state of affairs around here. dang and I disagree on several value judgements, but overall I think it's miraculous we have such a good steward of the discussion here.
If that’s really the case then that’s extremely regrettable. Again I’d need hard evidence to be convinced, but I’m not going to except theft even for a cultural occasion.

They should be raising the money voluntarily and collecting donations without coercion. Otherwise they aren’t helping their cause.
Spain is the place to look if you want to build HSR. They have built a lot of it for much cheaper than any other country. Japan has the most used HSR trains, but that is about population density, not that they do anything in particular right.

I'd drop the Netherlands for Turkey, and France for south Korea in a heartbeat if I was in charge. Probably Taiwan for Italy as well.

The above is about building. Once it is built Japan and France have a lot to teach the world about operations.
Correct. Hong Kong is the correct country of chargeability so the process, particularly if an NIW-based green card is pursued, would be around two years based on current green card backlogs and processing times. The problem with TN status for those pursuing green cards is that because of the current backlogs, you might be in the difficult position of needing to travel or extend your TN while you are in the green card process but bot far enough along such that could get temporary travel authorization. You would not be able to travel or extend your TN.
I agree that facebook is a great example of tech being dangerous for society, but that it's an example of a blatantly politically correct censorship platform, besides the problems regarding mental/social health caused by using it.

The largest problems tech faces nowadays is not spreading fake news at the speed of light, but the suppression of real and necessary political discourse in what has arguably been a significant portion the new town square for the last century.

Good point. Did the Meta and Deepmind devs really miss this?

I try to avoid python as much as possible, because I mainly work with Go & C++ and multi-threading with those languages is just better (imho). Bringing python a step forward and making it future proof might be a good thing... Even if this means to break some things? Not sure if dismissing the GIL is the right step, but there is a big performance gap to fix. Or maybe the AI community must move to a better suited language? Having python code in production just feels so wrong. Especially if a rewrite in another language shows the performance gap.
Perfect example.

For minds trained on physics and chemistry where mathematics is unreasonably effective, epicycles are a 'code smell' to be eliminated — there must be a simpler expression of the system.

This instinct has to be discarded when working with messy complex human beings.
Yea, I have found a few places, but they're rare I think because plastic bags are banned by most cities in my area. But my overall point is that the process requires trial and error, and even the creator of the packaging doesn't give accurate directions to properly recycle the material.

The GIL doesn't serialize the execution of threads, but ensures only one executes at a time. Therefore, the race condition issues you describe already exist even with the GIL. The GIL is only there to ensure that the interpreter doesn't corrupt Python objects and its internal data structures, which in the best case leads to a crash.
Oh yeah, might as well do it anyways just to see what you get from it. The amount of time is pretty crazy though, at least in my experience.

To be frank the Economist is pushing the alternative history here. The Chinese diaspora has been shaping real world history, particularly in East and Southeast Asia, for a thousand years or more. To this day the power elite of business and government in most of SE Asia are heavily dominated by ethnic Chinese and you better believe it shapes the politics.

If you limit your view to the Western world of the last 20-30 years everything the author says about the Indian diaspora and the comparison is correct. But then the "in history" needs to be removed from the headline.

Similarly the Economist's comparison of 18M Indian migrants vs 10M Chinese in the world today doesn't really tell the whole story - by most accounts there are 40M+ overseas Chinese scattered across the globe. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overseas_Chinese
Which PC laptop is half the price of, say, a MacBook Air and has better or even similar performance, battery life, input devices…? Keep in mind that you're talking about a $500-$600 price point here.
>bears repeating slowly and often to people in any kind of power.

They don't care. And they aren't paid to care. That's the issue. If they can make $100m profit at the cost of being fined $10m and some financially useless metric like environmental impact, that's still $90m profit and makes the shareholders happy. It's not incompetence, it's a calculated risk.

At this point the question should shift more to making those sharehoolders care about this stuff so they can tank companies for being incompetent. But they also have short sighted trigger hairs, and it's easy for them to pull out either way.
Fountain pens let you vary the width of the line depending on how much force is applied.
I'm not sure if the stable ABI is really like... going to stick around. Python 3.11 deprecated numerous functions in it mostly around interpreter configuration (the new PyConfig and PyPreConfig APIs are by definition not ABI stable), and the last couple releases have shown that deprecations in Python do mean it'll be removed later. The question then is whether they'll drop these APIs with a 3.x release (which would break the entire preomise of the stable ABI) or during a bump to 4.x. It really ought to be the latter and I suspect Python 4.x is going to remove the entire notion of stable ABI.

In either case it seems obvious now that there is likely no point bothering with the stable ABI any more.

as a non-australian but native English speaker, I found the video annoying because it's padded and the jokes/sarcasm weren't really all that funny. If you trim out his YouTube-OverReactions, I think the video goes down to like 1.5 minutes in my mind and still conveys the same information, perhaps even better.

I get probably this is a popular video maker in whatever sphere he's in, but as an outsider, it's difficult to get into the video because of what I attribute as the presenter's YouTube personality.

(also it very much so bugs me to see people using Chrome and see all the nags for notifications, the random extensions/features, etc. And any browser without uBlock origin throws me as it takes me a minute to realize why all the websites look so bad, but that's just a personal issue :) )
That is an interesting idea, one that I agree with. However, the issue that could arise is the premium companies could potentially change for "human support". It could become something only the wealthy could afford. While I don't believe that's likely, it's not in the realm of impossibility.

Totally agree on the time. The contact settlement collected info in early 2020, I got the surprisingly large check 3 weeks ago. Now the pandemic messed with the times a bit but it’s normally years you have to wait in my experience. One day a check for $2.46 comes in the mail and you remember “oh yeah, this is for that XYZ settlement”.
I’d just ask that external observers try to understand the Protestant and Unionist side too. They are often maligned in a simplistic ‘good vs evil’ narrative. You’d be surprised by their hospitality and industry.

I’’d never deny that there was brutality and violence from both sides, any ethno-religious conflict with long roots in the past is going to have this problem.

Targeting of civilians is wrong, and it always happens in these conflicts, which is why we should strive to avoid them. Targeting of combatants and mingling the categories to give cover, well that’s something else completely. It puts the authorities in a tricky situation where the right choices aren’t obvious.
The example you use seems to be specifically a "because I can" project. We can't be sure (because the code isn't available, obviously), but I would highly doubt there are any AA or AAA games built entirely in the scripting engine. However, many 4X games get pretty close (Paradox series, Civilization, the Endless games, HoM&M, AoW, etc).
If you want to query across the whole data set, use one of the other things.
Prometheus has a "federation" option but there's not been any active work on it for years.
It's basically the definition of Thanos - take a bunch of Prometheus and query across them. Plus long-term storage in S3.

VictoriaMetrics, Cortex, Mimir are centralised data stores that accept data from multiple Prometheus, but you could also run headless agents scraping and sending the data.

Note if you are on a version before 2.44, try upgrading. Prometheus slimmed down a bit.

> once we as a species transition fully to lab grown meat

I wish... there are many obstacles to implementing that on the scale and timeline needed. I worry we don't have time to wait for that, while we already have plants that could sustain us completely and easily (82% of calories, 63% of proteins).

> it is simply less convenient than eating meat

Tradition, culture, convenience, taste. The only reasons.

> There really is no alternative currently that still satiates people's demands for the taste of meat

It's starting to change. Plant-based alternatives for meat (junk food) are getting better everyday (at least where I live).

In the last years came new bacon and sausages, which my SO refuses to eat because they're "too meat-like".
Erlang processes are a first class object. Data is immutable. There's a special syntax for sending and receiving messages between processes.

I would say that in some ways this is simply incomparable to java but I think this concurrency model is probably the easiest and simplest to work with of any concurrency model.

There are obviously drawbacks like with anything but for a lot of situations it's an excellent choice.
Not to mention the UBI of “passing go”
Guns don't kill people. Guns are a tool for killing at a distance, yes; however it's people who sometimes misuse the tool to kill other people. Other people use guns to kill food to feed their family, or to kill or deter bad people who mean them great physical harm. Most all tools can be misused in bad ways, or used in positive ways. That responsibility all falls back upon the user, as the tool itself will usually just sit there inert without a human involved.
It's funny how these days were forcing you to make choices, and people had to make it appealing. Now it's anything anywhere anytime and it feels like a swamp.
If discovered, you could face a perjury charge which carries a risk of a fine or up to five years imprisonment (I think, that's federal law but this may only be perjury under California law.)

Though, it's probably unlikely you get caught, and unless you're filing scores of forms it's unlikely they'd bother pressing charges.
You will need to see whether USCIS approved the petition as an extension of status or not. You can't tell that from the email notification. But it's likely that it did because typically if it didn't, the company would have received a request for evidence on that issue first. Of course, you should speak with your employer's immigration attorney about this as well.
> is there any use case of No-GIL which is not solved by multiprocessing ?

Tons:

- A web server that responds using shared state to multiple clients at the same time.

- multiprocessing uses pickle to send and receive data, which is a massive overhead in terms of performance. Let’s say you want to do some parallel computations on a data structure, and said structure is 1GB in memory. Multiprocessing won’t be able to deal with it with good performance.

- Another consequence of using pickle is that you can’t share all types of objects. To make matters worse, errors due to unpickable objects are really hard to debug in any non-trivial data structure. This means that sharing certain objects (specially those created by native libraries) can be impossible.

- Any processing where state needs to be shared during process execution is really hard to do with the multiprocessing module. For example, the Prometheus exporter for Flask, which only outputs some basic stats for response times/paths/etc, needs a weird hack with a temporary directory if you want to collect stats for all processes.

I could go on, honestly. But the GIL is a massive problem when trying to do parallelism in Python.
I did live in east europe, and whenever I go there and witness this ongoing genocide my stomach turns inside out as much as it does when i witness their status in west europe. Roma people being discriminated heavily in both east and west europe is telling of what europeans have done in their past to other peoples.

“Integration” is an euphemism for erasure. Their unique culture shouldn’t be mistaken for what some elements of their society do thanks to centuries of marginalisation, genocide and slavery.

An assertive India may be beneficial to them. Mody has acknowledged their origin. And although they are a European folk I am resorting to India as that may be their only hope of support for emergence.

As I told another commenter I am glad for your reply. I want people to learn about how the Roma live, and how they are treated and I want them to hear it from those that don’t like them.
I want to say this is actually the default rules? We didn’t play it this way growing up but I think every electronic version of Monopoly I have played (and I’ve played a number of them since I’ve always loved the game) does that. Some don’t even let you disable it.
It seems the sense of the words 'inclusive' and 'diverse' in the article is broader than the politics meaning you ascribe to them.

A quote from one of the moderators:

>Intellectual curiosity is everywhere, and it’s present in all demographics,

>We want Hacker News to grow in all demographics, because there’s just intellectually interesting contributions from all of those communities—a greater diversity of content, of conversations, of topics, et cetera.

Which is just another way of stating the guidelines:

On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.

Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, or celebrities, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.

The stuff you don't like is already off-topic, unless there is intellectually interesting discussion to be had.
I was going to make the same point!
