It has been invented, the majority are in China and Japan if I remember rightly.
This group seems to exist just to disrupt and remove speech that they don't like.

"In respect of technology-facilitated gender-based harassment and abuse, we have worked to:

● Disrupt bad actors and their monetization of violent misogyny, such as high profile misogynist Andrew Tate;"

Later:
"Ads were recorded on clips in which Tate:

● Labels a former partner who accused him of assault “a dumb hoe”, viewed 12.8m times

● Talks about fighting women, saying “grip her up by the neck”, viewed 1.6m times

● Describes putting his “imprint” on 18-19 year-old girls, viewed 8.4m times

● Claims “being a man” means “being territorial” of women, viewed 3.3m times."

I mean, if they don't like these quotes, I have a library of rap songs to show them that are a million times more "harmful".

I don't agree with anything that Tate says, but I will defend his right to say it. Groups that exist to stifle free speech are doing more harm than good for society, by creating an environment where people are scared or unable to say unpopular things. Tate's comments are abhorrent but I think working to shut people up is a ruinous idea in a free and open society.

I feel similarly about their other campaigns in this document.
Let people speak, even if you don't like what they say, you cannot have a dialogue or change someone's mind if you stifle them. Free speech is only good for the difficult topics, it's not important for the easy things that everyone agrees with.

So yeah, these people seem biased and censorious IMO
I'm surprised that the Vigilance Committee has not been resurrected by now. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Francisco_Committee_of_V...

Also, I am weary of "the standard" these days. IIRC their reporting of the Bob Lee murder was very sensational, and their reporting of Anchor's closing was superficial (they just repeated Sapporo's stance without seemingly interviewing anyone else, most importantly Anchor employees).
I've written about this on HN before, but the RM2 people don't make the device show up as a standard USB device, which makes file manipulations hard. I think this is an effort to sell their "cloud" server stuff for a few dollars a month. That's not been the effect on me; instead, I barely use mine, and complain about it on the Internet.
I could see myself calling that color a dark yellow. Doesn't look red enough for it to really be orange; but of course color is in the eye of the beholder. ;-)

From your link:

“Only two chips took on the LLM challenge – Nvidia’s H100 GPU and Intel/Habana’s Gaudi2 deep learning processor – each showcasing different strengths. Not surprisingly, the newer H100 was the clear performance winner.”

I wouldn’t say Intel is getting close, and to actually beat Nvidia any competitor needs to be much better (not just “getting close”).
...orders of magnitude improvement in safety don't matter, but yeah, you could light up back then and get bit by someone's lap rat for good measure.

This is not what I would be looking for in a partner. If you brazenly break contracts you willingly entered one day what’s to make anyone believe their contract with you is nonnegotiable.
No. Not really.

Where it is may be where it's supposed to be. Not knowing that doesn't make it lost.

Ex: If I send a ship to sea before we had radio/telegraph, I may not know where it is at any given point, but it's not lost and I don't need to go find it.

It's lost when it misses a check-in, and what constitutes a check-in is really company/org dependent.
The biggest lie in crypto is that tokens are bought for utility and not speculative gains. I don't know if it's delusion or intentional deception. I have friends who are "thought leaders" in the space, who opine on the disruptive potential of crypto yet spend their days tweeting about the latest memecoin that just 100x'd.

The entire concept of crypto "value" rests upon the marriage of token utility and economic value. Financial gain is baked into the mechanic. And between the two, people care far more about financial gain. It's a fundamental misalignment of incentives.
"When I first came here, this was all swamp. Everyone said I was daft to build a castle on a swamp, but I built in all the same, just to show them. It sank into the swamp. So I built a second one. That sank into the swamp. So I built a third. That burned down, fell over, then sank into the swamp. But the fourth one stayed up. And that's what you're going to get, Lad, the strongest castle in all of England."
A quick search would tell you:

>The angle of deflection (theta) is:

theta = (4GM)/(cr^2)

toward the mass M at a distance r from the affected radiation, where G is the universal constant of gravitation and c is the speed of light in vacuum.[0]

The best resolution our eyes can offer is about one arcminute (1/21600 of a turn). Depending on your distance from the object, just plug in some numbers.

Say at the earth-moon distance 384400 km the object must be about 24x the mass of the sun to bend the incoming light at one arcminute (~0,0002909rad).

The sun actually bends light at about 2 arcseconds as seen from Earth; the focal point would be about 542x the distance Sun-Earth. [1]

Alternatively the object of say 1m^3 volume at a distance of 10 meters will bend light by 1 arcminute if it weighs 3.27x10^16 kg, the density of about 1/10th of a neutron star.

To conclude: one will be instantly overwhelmed by the gravitational forces before being able to see an object bend light with one own eyes. That's why this kind of extreme bending/lending is reserved for galaxy clusters.

Come on. Did you even read my comment that you replied to? I said point them "towards a decent but unprestigious state school," that is not "some diploma mill ... [that will leave them] saddled with debt."

> Student loan debt is approaching $2 trillion with over 22 million borrowers. Everybody and his brother has bought a degree which makes one not all that special in the current economy.

What you don't seem to understand that "everybody has it" != no longer needed. It just means that it's table stakes instead of a guarantee of success.
big corporation = big regulation + big unions (add more items) = no flexibility

Looks like all big enterprises have no option but to end up in bankruptcy court, given that they're too big to make drastic changes, have to deal with strong arming unions and only when it's too late things have to be decided in court

(same for other industries like Auto)
As a dark mode user, this makes me want to reconsider. It seems to make sense, but is it supported by evidence or by personal experience? I have not noticed such a difference in eye strain myself.
It's a public agency. The information is available by FOIA. Why not publish it upfront and save people the trouble?
This bailout was not for the shareholders, it was for the union (as is often the case). Bailouts usually benefit creditors, not the equity holders.

It's a middle finger to everyone, bicyclists and motorists. It's insane that we've normalized the idea of having a single surface shared between 45mph and 15mph vehicles.
In one of my crazy experimentation repos I played with just dropping the confusing "auth" portion, leaving "orization" and "entication". I don't know that those exact terms are a winner, though they did work quite effectively for me, but I think dropping the "auth" bit has some promise in the general sense. Leaving the redundant and confusing part at the beginning and lowering the disambiguation down to one letter seems like the wrong direction, no matter what the one letter is.
I don't think a general "cyclists" category is a helpful way to classify people--it's not like the people who ride bikes have a particular character that can be distinguished from that of people using other vehicles; rather, they behave in the way that the infrastructure, culture, and laws around them influence them to act.

There is an intersection directly in front of my house (also in NYC) that features a flexible barrier and signs telling people "No left turn". All day long, hundreds of times per hour, drivers roll right over the barrier (or swerve around it into the bike lane), turning left illegally, rather than going around the block as they are supposed to do. Should we cast moral blame on these drivers? Or are they simply average human beings? They are taking a dangerous shortcut because the intersection is poorly designed, because our culture encourages them to prioritize their own momentary convenience over pedestrian safety, and the enforcement is non-existent.

If everyone is doing the same wrong thing, then something structural needs to change.
Thanks. That's a useful perspective.

I read it as a general screed on managers in general. Not on improperly structured environments that don't enable managers to do good work which I understand is what you read from the article.
Why are industries dominated by large unprofitable companies? I was told the way to succeed was to offer goods and services that people want, make a profit and grow the company; this was a key benefit of the free market and ensured consumers had access to many good choices and it was all stable and sustainable. Instead unprofitable companies dominate, not because they succeeded in the market, but because they received favor from the wealthy.

I'd like an economic system where the companies that offer the best goods and service at the right price grow and succeed. I've heard this is how capitalism is supposed to work, but more and more it seems the key to success is currying favor with the wealthy and capturing a market through external means.

> Taxpayers ended up holding 30% of this company's stock

Is that really surprising though? Getting a government buy-in like this generally happens after private sector investment falls through. If large swathes of the private sector didn't believe that the company would become profitable after infusion (they would have bought low and sold high if they did), why would public sector capital have any different outcome?
Hi Kalium, could you elaborate? Did you mean my password hashing example?
I think it’s more to do with high rate environment, with most AI firms having no clear path to profitability. Where-as many traditional tech venture rounds (now of days) have a solid business model and current profitability per deal, using raised capital to accelerate growth at current loss for long term profit.
Grid storage isn't needed before the grid is at least 50% renewable (and I don't mean "once in a blue moon more than 50% of demand is satisfied by renewable electricity, I mean baseline"); in fact it's hard to justify building a lot of storage out before renewables give them lots of stuff to balance.

Grid storage is eventually needed, but the discussion around batteries is kind of like demanding your website be "web scale" when you've had less than 100 visitors a day for the past year. Like, I'm all for planning ahead but is this really our priority?

Meanwhile, if we reduce our emissions by 10% today, then we have 10%(ish) more time to get rid of the remaining 90%. Our deadline isn't time, it's CO2e emitted.

In other words: Grid storage should not be taken into account, because the only way it becomes important soon is if we buy ourselves a lot of time to deal with it by majorly cutting emissions. People focus too much on "100% renewables by 20XX" and not enough on "50% renewables by ASAP".

I'm sure there's a better way of phrasing that, because "[thing] should be taken into account" is basically an applause light and I'm contradicting it, but you get the idea.
To answer the headlines question: no [0]

San Francisco’s “Crime Woes” will continue to exist until US National policy creates a stronger safety net for the least fortunate among us or San Francisco’s politics take a hard turn right toward protecting property rights over all else.

Github is one of the most idiotic IPv4 exclusive services. Microsoft and Azure has all the knowledge and equipment to make IPv6 available to practically any site, but Github seems afraid to ask. They had IPv6 for a short while and turned it off later.

https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/10539 is full of people voicing their grievances but I don't think Github is paying this issue any attention anymore.

Luckily almost all providers or IPv6-only networks also offer NAT64 or similar NAT mechanisms to make IPv4 addresses reachable.
At some point in the past, Yellow Freight acquired or merged with Roadway Express, which was orange.
> basically nobody uses Python threads

Not true at all. Plenty of people (including me) use threads in Python for:

* Blocking I/O

* CPU heavy libraries written in C (as those release the GIL)

They work fine, even with the GIL. They only work badly if you want to run a lot of pure-Python (non-I/O) code in multiple threads - which, fair enough, sometimes you might want to do, and the GIL is a problem for that.

After reading the article I went "yeah, I guess that makes sense" and closed the tab, not planning to give it another though. Only when browsing Twitter for some juicy updates on the super conductor replication progress did it dawn on me that the name change should be trending there.

In a world where potentially world-changing experiments are performed by a person who interjects their material science comments with gems such as "USSR is still the primary progressive power worldwide" and "My ass is on fire and it lights the way for people. To infinity!", satire as subtle as an Elon Musk name change just doesn't seem to cut it anymore.

I don't know too many people operating desktop computers under the sun. They are usually situated indoors, often distant from any window access. Anyways the point stands that additional lighting discounts any power savings from using e-ink in a desktop environment. I get the use case for e-ink in the field. This product is not for in-field use.

What is bad or unproven about burying the waste in concrete?
IPv6 is still an afterthought for nearly every level of networked software development, and that will probably never change as long as IPv4 is a viable alternative. V6 is just... Annoying, compared to V4. Without a concerted industry wide effort to abandon V4, V6 won't take its place.
But even if their labor cost was fixed and high, why not attempt to recover that cost by raising prices?
Yes and no.

They can say "don't do anything". They can't say "don't avoid doing something." That's the point if the age of the warrant canary notification--they stopped updating it. This is in effect a dead canary, they're saying they are subject to an order they can't disclose.

Not exactly. Most of the AWS services you can't release the IPv4 addresses. You automagically get 3 IPv4 addresses assigned to you when you create a load-balancer, even if you want that load-balancer to be IPv6 only.

And their native support for IPv6 within their services are hit-and-miss at best.

Privatize the gains, socialize the losses. Even in the news.
I was mainly replying to them saying that there is animosity towards disabled people ("people question why they needed a chair. They had people call them wheels in public..."). I haven't heard or seen it verbalized explicitly, with that one exception of airports, where people publicly mumble and mention it. I don't like to see it and I don't support that but that's what people do.

> A trivial example would be someone who can walk from the airport to a car when unburdened, but cannot stand in line for an hour while carrying luggage.

Of course. And not all disabilities are visible, either. It's better to have a few cheaters to abuse the system and provide more accommodation to people who need it than go the other way. But the way people are, even if they witness a small minority cheating, they'll start forming an opinion. As a rule, especially as far as I have seen, traveling and living with disabled people needing a wheelchair, most people are willing to help and are accommodating.
