While I mostly agree, especially that I've scrolled past this video's clickbait thumbnail and title before, I suggest using this tool: letsblock.it/filters/youtube-channel

Instead of blanket filtering verified accounts, I spent a few minutes one day plugging in all the obnoxious channels that show up on YT's homepage when signed out.
650 MB for a graphics driver, to support a small family of related GPUs, on 1 or 2 OSes? Just... wow, unbelievable. What a waste of bandwidth, storage & RAM / CPU resources.

I look forward to the day where one could take such an installer, have AI assistant install it inside a simulator, decode & categorize every byte installed (+ in the installer that goes in), then maps out the function of each byte. Just for giggles.

I'll predict the functionality vs. fluff ratio must be 1:10000 or worse on this thing.
Better hope the compiler generated contiguous PIC.
Why would they choose to run it then? No one forced them lol
Something about promising high quality production code while also emphasizing the growth of junior engineers feels inverted.

I love working with earlier career engineers but their code isn't known to always be very high quality. How does that work on GitStart?
JPEG XL looks like a great format, I hope it takes over.

I get that most bandwidth goes to video, but it would still be nice to have a great modern standard for images.

Huobi Crypto Exchange Grapples with Rumors of Insolvency Amidst Hefty Outflows
GitStart is one of those services that are "too good to be true". Getting customers or devs to sign up was easy, so we never really did a launch.

The harder part was getting the system to work (aka ship solid PRs while delivering a good growth path for juniors).

Most of the time was spent building a ton of in-house tech (especially around security, dev environments, review environments and so on)

We are now in a better position to automatically onboarding engineering teams (and later this year do the same for devs to sign up and start to ship PRs on the platform)
Looks like I've got a bunch too, including several posts that I'd actually upvoted.

Related issue: it's too easy to accidentally mix up the upvote and downvote actions, because the buttons are close together and the visual feedback after the fact is pretty subtle. This is particularly bad on mobile.
If you're already drafting people based on their genitals (sexism), a little class discrimination on top of that barely moves the needle.

You mean a cult. This isn't a real issue for properly run 501c3, it's a tax registration for a reason.
That's true. But it seems they will ignore it and do it anyway...

> The Republican party doesn't have any credibility left. So, I'll continue to do the rational thing, which is to ignore the folks that have a long history, and ample evidence in the present, of intentionally lying.

You're making politically motivated reasoning and ignoring the people who are telling you something from the ground. You're free to continue to do so, and this HN subthread is not the right place to re-litigate the entire history of American politics. Just be aware that motivated reasoning is not necessarily the best approach to find the truth.
> makes sense to use swap space in aiding suspend to disk if some of the allocated memory is already paged out to it.

Maybe I can learn something here. From my understanding, the RAM image moves completely to the swap space, since the RAM memory is shut down (cleared). I thought, that's why it's calles 'suspend to disk'. During hibernation most components are in a state of being almost shut down. And that would be why you need a disk that can hold data non-volatile (eg not the RAM memory). Edit: From your comment it reads like the swap space is only for assisting the process, while from my understanding that's the place where the whole RAM image resides during sleep.

> a swap partition for the purposes of hibernation, while also disabling swapping of memory while your machine is in-use.

I thought the exact same. Avoid tear of the SSD and security implications, while having the option of hibernation (including the security implications) in case of need.

Hey Nick and Ben, congrats to launch! I really like that you're going in the TS way by default. I personally think there will me more AI Engineers (devs building LLM apps/agents) working in TS than in Python.

I wanted to ask if you accept PRs for integrations?

I'm a co-founder of E2B [0]. We give private sandboxed cloud envs to any agent. We're building two things:

- [1] Agent Protocol - it's an open protocol that defines how to communicate with an agent. The current goal is to make benchmarking agents simple (it's used for example by folks at AutoGPT and other popular agents)

- [2] SDK that gives your agent a cloud environment (currently in early access)

Would love to figure out how to integrate these to into Axilla if it makes sense to you. What would be the best way to connect?

Journalists are addicted to attribution. Before Twitter, they had to call people for quotes verifying or denying something. The tradition was 2 sources to verify. There was even a time that anonymous sources were frowned on. If they couldn't get them on the phone, they had to track them down and ask in person. That's why there are multiple scenes in "All the President's Men" where the reporters are knocking on doors at people's houses at night.

All that is old school now and replaced by the quick drug-like hit of posting "so-and-so tweeted". It's enough to write about a post of some kind and not actually get comments or context from anybody else, because there always posts for "opponents say" or "advocates say".

I was a web developer for a newspaper and knew they were doomed when they started writing articles about their own comments section.

Implication and notoriety rule the day.
A debit card works fine, and even Germans got that far in finance tech.
> Okay, but for people who DO know about basketball, this would make the article laborious.

Well, then let’s close HN since every single article will be laborious for the people who DO know about the subject.
It's an interesting story. Either OP watched the documentary and then posted the story, or an acquaintance of OP watched the documentary and then sent the article to OP.
I can't tell who's trolling who now, but how stastics are worded is key here. The comment you replied to doesn't disagree with any of the claims you're making here are implying.

From the second linked article:

> although it seems Sanders’s base is hardly all white, it’s likely that no matter who wins the nomination ... a clear majority of their votes will probably come from white Democrats

This directly contradicts the original article's quote:

> there was no evidence to show that young white men made up a majority of Sanders’s supporters

Additionally, the article's next sentence:

> The movement, in fact, consisted of a diverse coalition of people from marginalized races and genders

Appears to be an attempt at proving the majority isn't white, but it doesn't support that claim at all. It can be true that there was a diverse coalition of voters, and white people still make up a majority of votes.

Then, of all your three claims, none of them disprove the claim that most Bernie voters are white. Everything you said could be true, but none weaken the claims of the comment you're replying to.

I suspect at least someone here doesnt understand that "60% of Latino voters and 30% of white voters" doesn't imply "white is not the majority vote" (since, for example, 60% of 10 is significantly less than 30% of 1000).
Ok, I'll explain. It's not about people at home having to peel potatoes. Imagine you run a diner. You have low profit margins and you use frozen chips. It's a high volume item. Most customers order chips. A 25kg bag of potatoes is about 30 portions. You might use 100kg of raw potatoes in a day.

Have you ever peeled, chipped, parboiled, and possibly pre-fried 100kg of potatoes? I certainly haven't but I imagine it's at least a shift of work for a member of staff. Which means you need to hire someone. You might also need to buy a commercial potato peeler which cost $1000-$3000 US. Then a month or two later the shortage is over, you go back to frozen. Do you fire the new staff? Sell the machine?
Do VSTs not work on Linux? I'm not being obtuse, I am in a situation where I'm about to build a new PC for writing / recording music and I saw that Reaper is supported in Linux, but was not sure about VST plugin support.
As the others have been saying, you need to absolutely spell this out in the ToS. The language in the ToS is far too broad and no matter how trustworthy your company may be now, people are cluing into the fact that that trustworthiness is one heartbeat away from a change in leadership that decides to push the boundary up to the legal limits in the law or ToS.
Thank you! I had to scroll this far to get some sort of technical discussion. Very interesting information. TIL.

An EV would be able to heat its battery while charging or depleting it (that does reduce the efficiency). I don't think it's much of an issue, if you consider that Norway is one of the biggest EV adopters.
Hi there, I don't believe you, especially since you've misrepresented that blog post. It actually says: "we do not use audio, video, or chat content for training our models without customer consent." It explicitly says that you do use customer content to train your models.

From the screenshot: "You are directing Zoom to access, process, and use your participants' inputs and AI-generated content for the purpose of Zoom IQ product improvement, including model training."

Are you claiming that agreeing to these terms of service doesn't count as consent? I think your lawyers would disagree.
Which causes more people to watch it, which increases the odds someone posts it to a different site and also increases the odds someone on that third site has already seen it and comments, etc. etc. A big surge in one site can affect multiple sites pretty easily, especially if they share a large proportion of their user base and/or users can easily bounce between them even if they're not regular users of one or the other. It's kind of tin foil hat territory to assume it's a "coordinated push" and not just how "the algorithm" + the internet works in general.
Out of curiosity, how does Visual Studio (proper) stack up against JetBrains tools, especially CLion?
This is not even close to what is characterized in the article.

The individual stole equipment, software, and account credentials in order to eavesdrop on Air Force, a Tennessee Agency (they don't specify which), and possibly FBI radio communications that are typically encrypted and probably run something along the lines of HAVEQUICK [0].

This isn't trivial or only in the news due to the other case; this is a pretty serious breach.

Summary of her rules for defensive posting:

1. Talk about facts
2. Tell stories
3. Ask technical questions
4. Fix mistakes
5. Ask for examples, not opinions
6. Start with a little context
7. Avoid flamebait triggers
8. Preempt common suggestions
9. Ignore people who challenge your viewpoint (my interpretation)
10. Don't pursue arguments
11. Pay attention to critical feedback

Number 9 is I think not as defensible as the rest. These are pretty much the rules I've adopted for posting on HN.

Or maybe because it would be an act of war and a war crime to drone-strike civilians in a foreign country because of them committing a criminal act? We generally arrest criminals and put them on trial, we don't summarily execute them by raining fire from above.

I hate robo-callers and scammers as much as anyone, but I don't think drone-striking them is the proper response.
Power users require CLI on every OS. Not just Linux, but also Windows or OSX, to be specific.

If they can't bring themselves to do what's right, the least they can do is be ashamed of what they're doing.

Because this particular example is about Intel. When other companies that do this come into the spotlight, then the same criticism is levelled at the devs enabling them as well. Big picture, Intel's not being singled out.

Listen to how ridiculous this sounds. He was so “unpopular“ that the moderates needed to circle the wagons against him in order to make him lose.

Ping was originally named after sonar pings. Then later some guy came up with a weird acronym for a thing he did not invent. We don’t have to acknowledge it as a legitimate acronym. And as far as I can tell, the backronym is not a part of ping man pages, unlike with dig
Not the Parent Author, but have been driving an EV since 2018:

Superior Qualities (in general):

- Less moving parts (less stuff to break)

- No oil changes

- No gas stops

- Lower center of mass = better stability and crash performance (moose test)etc

- Regenerative braking extends the life of your brake pads

- Lower total cost of ownership for comparable ICE platform

- Nearly 100% torque availability from zero RPM

- Full battery every morning if you remember to plug it in

- Reduced exposure to combustion byproducts

- Financial Subsidies and other Government incentives (HOV Lane access)

- You move the emissions from the consumer to the electricity producer who are more likely to have the funds to actually start working on viable greenhouse gas reduction strategies

Inferior Qualities:

- Heavier

- Take longer to "re-fuel" on road trips

- Regenerative braking and heavier vehicle reduces the life of your tires

- Eventually the HV battery will degrade to the point that it might not be practical for your use case
I feel like we are dangerously close to the situation where companies don't even put this in the ToS.

"Better to ask for forgiveness than for permission."

See also Uber, who broke the rules and got away with it, and in fact built their empire on top of breaking the law.

We should not let companies get away with this. In fact, CEOs of such companies should face prison time. Otherwise it would be too easy to steal your user's data, let your company go bankrupt and start a new company based on the stolen data.

The solution sounds simple. Force non-locals to buy a Swiss-like vignette to drive on those roads. And, make it damn expensive, like 1000 Euros. You can probably put a police checkpoint around a corner about 500 meters after the sign and fine people who are missing the vignette something like 2000 Euros. Finally, use social media and obnoxious free media (City AM and friends) to tell everyone about it. It should take care of itself in about 3 months.
I don’t know about that one, seems like there are some pretty serious allegations. But yes, it is likely that the number of people who are aware and talking makes up a tiny portion of their worldwide fans, despite the spread of the news online.
I wish we'd stop using euphemisms like "conscription" for the practice of slavery.

I think it's fair that some people have stronger feelings about and more appetite for discussing a topic than I do.

To pick one of her examples, I've done a couple of toy projects with Tailwind. I think it's pretty neat, and I don't mind saying so! But I accept that people working full time on huge Tailwind projects at work probably care way more deeply about the topic than I do, are much more impacted by aspects of Tailwind that might be trivial to me in my toy use of it, and are going to invest an amount of time and passion discussing it that would frankly bore me to death. If I were running into that repeatedly, I would stop bringing Tailwind into discussions that I didn't want to be about Tailwind, and I wouldn't feel that bad about it.

We've seen a similar "buy your way our of military conscription" policy in America's past.

> Many healthy men who were eligible to serve in the military during the Civil War never ended up enlisting. The Enrollment Act of 1863 provided that a draftee could pay a “substitute” enrollee the sum of $300 (about $5,000 in today’s terms) in order to enlist in his place. Such famous Americans as Grover Cleveland and John D. Rockefeller took advantage of this provision, in effect buying their way out of service.

> And this lack of accountability is exactly why our world is the way it is. Just remember anyone can justify evil behavior if they try hard enough. Why? because people are not basically good by nature. They are basically evil by nature. Observe any 2-3 year old throwing a fit and you might begin to grasp the concept.

There is no "lack of accountability" anywhere in that story. Nothing done here was illegal, nor "evil" which is an unnecessary hyperbole.
My EV (and presumably most others) has settings so that it charges uses cheaper off-peak power. I tell it to make sure it's fully charged and preheated and ready to go at 7AM. So when it gets plugged in a 6PM it doesn't start charging until after midnight.
It can easily be done with WASM. You could even add the domain as a salt.
I think instead it's that of the tens thousands of people who saw the video recently, maybe one of them posts it on reddit, and another posts it on HN.

This is a common phenomenon, exactly like how the kid making the shot made similar contests more popular.
I'll add another feature I really like: preconditioning while still parked in my garage. Its super hot here in the summer. My garage will still be like 90F in the morning. I've set my car to cool itself down when its time to leave though and it does it all from the wall power so it doesn't even sacrifice any range. So while my ICE would still be >90F inside when I first hop in, my EV is 70F and ready to go. I can't do this with my ICE as it would emit tons of carbon monoxide.

They're also not nearly as wasteful energy-wise. As mentioned its stupid hot out here. Sometimes I need to park and wait for something such as drive up to go or waiting on my spouse to just run into a store to grab something quick or waiting out front of someone's house while I'm picking them up. I'm going to want to keep the AC running, because its like 110F at a high humidity outside with a bright sun beating down. In my ICE, its wasting tons of gas sitting there idling, probably less than 10% of the energy being consumed is actually going to cool the cabin. Most of it is just spinning metal around, pushing fluids through things, and throwing off tons of waste heat (I don't need any more heat, its already hot outside!). Meanwhile my EV could sit running the AC for a long time without making a pretty big dent in its energy usage. And when its sitting there running the AC and the radio, almost all the energy is being used running the AC and the stereo. This makes the per-minute cost of idling massively cheaper, a cost a lot of people don't think about.

How many service members could command salary/benefits like this in the private sector? Most count beans and clean things. I bet that doesn't factor in pensions and lifetime benefits either. The US military is the country's largest welfare program.
Linux is great! And, thanks to Steam, a lot of games wirk as well. Not all, but most.

Ubuntu, I haven't tried anything else so far, is a charm on Lenovo hardware. Update wise, it is were Windows was a couple of years ago. Meaning there are random updates that just kill and break certain functions. Happened last week, everything was running fine, including steam, as it always did. Until an update managed to delete the GUI, reinstalling the GUI killed nVidia drivers, Steam couldn't be installed under 23.04 for some missing dataset, installing said data (some 32-bit stuff) killed WiFi...

No attack on Linux so, I rember that not too long ago I stopped all Eindows updates because for months the auto-updates had the same effect (save the WiFi bit).

So yes, my dqily, private driver is Linux. And will be, except for games, for the time being. All I uave to do now, well after vacation, is to get Steam running properly again. Feels like a throwback to the pre Win 10 days, when Windows randomly did the same thing with regards to drivers and certain games / programs.
Well, it is high, when everything could be run on a $5 VPS with higher availability, less complexity, faster backups and simpler deploys.
