Is HN social media?

I tend to distinguish social media from internet fora in that, social media is user-centric. You follow people. But a forum is topic-centric. You follow a discussion group with a specific purpose, and it's an implementation detail if it's hosted on a dedicated website, or a mailing list, or a newsgroup, or a subreddit.

HN could be alt.news.ycombinator, or /r/hackernews. It isn't @hackernews, or... whatever facebook does. I definitely lean towards thinking of HN as a forum, rather than a brand of social media.

Do you think that's a meaningful distinction?

I suspect it is true, strictly speaking.

In optimal orientation, Voyager's signal peaks at -160dBm when received on the 70m dishes. Now it's shooting 2 degrees off which means the signal misses earth by hundreds of millions of kilometres. What kind of magical high gain antenna do you envision that could still receive it, assuming money isn't a problem?

Seeing a shrink ruined my life. I used to be happy, productive, and socially engaged. Now I'm bouncing around medications, sleeping on the couch all day, and constantly ruminating about the past that I lost.

Feelings are less important than the big picture of your life. Fuck mental health care for convincing me to prioritize my feelings in the moment over my long term happiness.
He didn't think about the details that deeply and the sudden move was a spur of the moment decision, unknown and unexpected by any designers Musk actually works with.

A more charitable idea might be that any old logo idea might quickly become outdated, so it makes more sense to commission something from the best of the best, with your massive wealth, just in time when you need it.
I think it does depend a lot because my aging eyes, even high-DPI OLED screens tire me right out. E-Ink, on the other hand, requires much less strain as my eyes only have to take in the ambient light and not be staring directly into a high-nit source.
I disagree, the analogy is weak. Strip mining is about harvesting naturally occurring resources in the most invasive way. The internet is not a natural resource. It was created by and for humans, from zero to unfathomable scale in thirty quick years. It is a reflection of ourselves, our systems, and our social and financial incentives. Google definitely deserves some blame as they certainly have helped shape those incentives, but it's not like they came in and started dynamiting some pristine wilderness, do you remember what search was like before Google came along?

I'm failing to see the connection, could you please elaborate?
While I agree it's a poor fit and pretty much just a crappy but flashy tech demo... the display is what it is, it doesn't have mandated suitable uses.

Other reflective display tech exists. For the most part they suffer from screen-dooring, extremely bad visibility angles, much worse contrast in bright light, or complete unavailability in the size or resolution that you want.

Eink may not have many options, but it is an option, in a market with few or zero competitors depending on what you want (largely because it's niche), and refresh rate is often a thing you can bend on. I would love to see more, but many of the companies I've seen trying to do this in the past no longer exist, or they're selling even more niche ruggedized laptops and nothing else (and they still look much worse than eink, though they have color and refresh rate). It seems to be slowly ramping back up though, so hopefully within the next few years we'll see more.
Wow, thanks for the links, this is really neat
Not everyone can code in a way that is useful for development, but one way of looking at it could be: actually treating people like a community, rather than users.

Unfortunately the phrase “community” has been degraded a bit by companies who want a more in-group-feeling-inducing way of describing their users. But, in a real community, people support each other and try to push projects forward, contributing in the fashion that best suits their skills, and toward goals that best fit their interests.
Good point, never thought of that. Indentation would become hellish though.

No, that comment called resort fees a scam.

Maybe I'm wrong, I don't want to put words in that user's mouth, but my interpretation was that they'd called resort fees are a scam because they only show up after you've booked your stay. That's the scammy/fraudy/dishonest part of the transaction; without it I'm not sure there's anything to complain about.
It looks like a direct fork from retrogram~plutosdr, and it itself is a hack from Ettus UHD RX ASCII Art DFT code for ADALM PLUTO [1]. This version seems to support the RTL-SDR dongles that already exists.

I will second this as I recently went through an interesting road of purchasing a new fridge. I looked for good energy efficiency, a long warranty, replacement parts availability, and nothing else fancy. None of the models from the famous brands (Samsung, LG, etc.) had these; instead, they had internet connectivity, an ice/water dispenser, all sorts of nooks and crannies, and (what is currently quite popular) a low price.

I found a bland-looking Liebherr at a discount (still pricey compared to mentioned brands), and I'm happy for now. It looks like reliability and serviceability are considered a premium these days.
Oddly, I would cite Knuth's rigor in stability as much as in rigor of algorithm choice and creation.

Specifically, TeX still works well today because of deliberate choices to not break things. He is well aware of modern techniques for many of the things that people complain about. He likes that he can still build every one of his documents today, with no concerns over things having "moved on to better ways."
I think this is a network architecture detail, and is using the term "edge" in a subtly different sense than the article is. We have "edge" hosts and "worker" hosts where I work, but "edge" means "the edge of our network, where requests from the Internet land", not "deployed as close as possible to users".
This is going to end well.

Is the idea of using a big hole for garbage disposal that we would dump the garbage into the molten core and let it burn? Or is it more about using the hole as a really deep landfill?
This isn't unique to AI. If you are hesitant to invest in startups because their products could be duplicated by competitors/big tech then you should not be a VC at all.

Sounds like Walmart in the US. They're able to achieve their prices by robbing the employees of a livable wage.

If you look online, Primark continues to engage in this illegal behavior after getting caught on numerous occasions, just like Walmart.

Is this simply because the bookmark manager linked (Floccus) is not available for Safari?

Or better yet, can you elaborate on how any of the content up the chain from your comment that shows why Safari shouldn't be considered a user friendly browser?
Absolutely.

As you accrue more experience in the software industry, whether as an engineer or a technical founder, it's not as though you become capable of writing code ten times faster. What truly increases isn't your typing speed, but rather the leverage you gain from developing an intuition for discerning what to build versus what not to build, as well as what to purchase versus what to create from the ground up.

Furthermore, the situation isn't always black and white. There's a middle ground. Initially, you might lean on third-party solutions, gradually replacing them with in-house solutions bit by bit. You may even find yourself with a mix of in-house and third-party solutions. There's no need for it to be an absolute 100% in-house or 100% third-party solution. You could have a 49% in-house and 51% third-party mix, or perhaps an 80% in-house and 20% third-party split.

There are no standard templates to follow. It's all on a case-by-case basis. However, a general principle I found useful is that the more closely a decision ties to revenue generation, the more control you should ideally exert over it.

Ask HN: Would you work for an EVIL company if it tripled your salary?
It's the third time I'm contacted for this job, I tick all the boxes and they seem desperate.

I would more than triple my current salary, it's a one year contract.

It's a polluting company(think Exxon or Monsanto on a much smaller scale), they have been fined multiple times(for pollution, fraud, discrimination).

On one hand I deeply hate them and everything they stand for, I'd feel like I sold my soul to the devil.

On the other hand, I could be a debt-free homeowner in a year, at 25yo. Or take a 2 year vacation.

What would you do?
as a former advocate for Jamstack (https://www.swyx.io/ideas?filter=jamstack) this has been on the cards for a while, and I'm glad that enough consensus has gathered that it is not impolite to talk openly about what it did and did not get right. I should do a full writeup on this as a personal reflection as it was a very major phase in my life but I could not be fully honest about my feelings on why I left since I had so many friends still working on it.

all i will say for now is that the Jamstack movement was a champion of simplicity on the web, and I hope that there's an equally powerful voice in the current move towards React Server Components and distributed-system-in-your-frontend trends.

While old appliances have good features, LG and Samsung have earned a reputation of being bad. Whirlpool and GE still make some good stuff and they still sell parts. The reason you keep the old washer is the new versions legally cannot use as much water, and so they don't clean as well.

The fact that you can't use this extension (amongst many others) with Safari - therefore Safari on MacOS and iOS/iPadOS cannot benefit from this type of sharing. Walled garden strikes again.

I'm not saying that Safari is a bad browser, but artificial limitations imposed by Apple on the browser and the OS is quite frustrating for me.
Extraterritorial jurisdiction is becoming increasingly common. If a person commits a crime in a foreign jurisdiction they are convicted, and then when they return to their homeland they are once again convicted for committing a crime abroad.

I know the UK and USA definitely do these prosecutions regularly, even though both countries would throw a hissy fit if Iran started prosecuting every tourist who visits and was known to not wear a headcovering outside Iran.
Being mistaken is not "lying"; there's no reason to assume malicious intent.
I'm not clear on the question being asked. I currently am signed in with my Spotify account on Alexa, my phone and my tablet. I can stream the same music from all four Alexa devices in the house, and also concurrently on my phone and tablet. I don't normally want all these devices playing (at home I just need the Alexa devices to be playing), and I actually have more issues where music is playing from more devices than I want.

My Alexa devices are scattered about the house, so I'm not interested in stereo separation in a single room - maybe they are talking about the timing required for that.
You need to be really careful about not assuming what you're trying to show when talking about teleology. I know teleology is something like a swear word in old new-atheist circles, but when we're talking about goals, it's teleology as literally as it gets.

You brought up goal representations. Can you explain what a representation is, without sneaking in the notion of "meaning", and thus the notion of "goal"? I certainly can't!
i think "consumer protection" laws is a good start. "bigger government doesn't quite correlate with "better product".
I a bunch of Denon devices from smart speakers to a soundbar to two home theater receivers and many of them support HEOS which can do whole home streaming.

It sucks that you have to control it with a mobile app (I did write a PC app using Tk but that is not much better than a mobile app!). Also I have had a lot of devices fail either completely or partially (WiFi just went on my 7.1 receiver the other day, the same receiver is relegated to a (awesome) stereo because the HDMI port). The 5.1 receiver was a decontented ‘pandemic special’ with no HEOS.

But that said, the whole home audio is great and works with my jellyfin and Amazon Music and TuneIn and presumably spotify.
The TLDR summary: "Blade Runner" comes from another SciFi dystopia:

> Universal health care has been enacted, but in order to cull the herd of the weak, the “Health Control laws” — enforced by the office of a draconian “Secretary of Health Control” — dictate that anyone who wants medical care must undergo sterilization first. As a result, a system of black-market health care has emerged in which suppliers obtain medical equipment, doctors use it to illegally heal those who don’t want to be sterilized, and there are people who covertly transport the equipment to the doctors. Since that equipment often includes scalpels and other instruments of incision, the transporters are known as “bladerunners.”
I would suggest that anyone trying a real comparison of vector DB's consider the following

- necessary functions / use cases (eg prefiltering, dense search)
- embeddings version management
- anticipated embedding size (the article only considers glove-100 on ANN-benchmarks, which is quite different from openai-ada-002 1536 - both in terms of their output distribution and the vector size)
- required precision / recall
- required ingestion speed
- required ingestion throughput / time to ingest periodic updates
- required query speed (percentiles, not average!)
- required query throughput
- required RBAC, data privacy, active-active, etc

...and so much more. ANN-benchmarks is a good start for thinking about this but remember that actual throughput is quite different from whatever you see in the algorithms benchmarking!
No, no, no. I tend to think it's that cycling turns people into selfish jerks. I'm not sure exactly why.

I think the main reason is that ethics in cycling has never really caught on as an ideology. So there's this sense of simultaneous anarchy and entitlement the permeates cycling culture.

This leads them to thinking they have no responsibility to share the road with drivers, riding as slowly as possible, and not leaving room to pass. Then they go on mixed trails and suddenly the rules are different. Pedestrians must get out of the way, and they don't have to yield traffic laws. They're the ones that will be yelling threats!

I really have to push back on this "criticizing bicycling is like racism" concept you introduced. First of all, people do generalize about cars being assholes. We talk all the time about it. Most of the violence is actually car on car... we just notice more the car vs. pedestrian matchups, as they can get pretty brutal.
If we're going to be that pedantic, we might as well just say that because Intel and AMD aren't living entities so they can't be "dead". Or we could just accept that the original meaning of the phrase has evolved and is flexible enough to be used in situations where it's not absolutely literal.

This looks really nice, great work. I'll definitely give it a try.

Have you considered a free tier where you could monetize it maybe via sponsorships/ads with the goal to have a social aspect?

I'm a huge fan of Githubs social trending/explore/lists/topics section for finding new tools for specific things that I work on, rust, go, aws, etc. for myself and my teams. Also things like dev.to, daily.dev, etc but they're not really as useful as I thought they'd be. You can see an example of the Lists I've created here https://github.com/mikejk8s?tab=stars - I wind up putting these lists into a team notion doc right now.

There's those "Awesome-XXYZ" lists but I don't think they're the best way to do this at all. They also wind up very out of date. My Github lists aren't collaborative, I can't give people a way to contribute to them and as far as I know they're not something you can search globally to find if someone has some interesting lists.

It's quite a bit different than what you're doing here but what I've been hoping to find was some sort of technology Looking Glass/aggregator where I could click a topic/Collection, say Rust, and see rss feeds, blogs, curated and very well organized bookmarks, hashtags of other related lists, etc in a collaborative manner with lots of contributors.

I was sort-of beginning to do this via a published notion domain and treating it like a wiki.. https://mrj84.notion.site/Go-Wiki-c637ff57e00046bfbe22fb2562... - that's the closest I've been able to brain storm as something remotely near what I'm aiming for.

Sorry for the long post, maybe it'll give you some ideas or maybe someone has some ideas for me.

As a daily Mac user for about 13 years now I have no idea what phenomenon you're talking about.

For any program that is open, even if it hasn't been in use for a while, I click it once, and it comes to the forefront immediately.

For programs that are not open, I click it once, and then if I wait for it to launch, it appears in the forefront. If I immediately click back over to my web browser and begin using it before the program launches, it does not appear in the forefront... because I interacted with another program after starting the launch.
