Why Archive.today

HN Readers, Commentators and Story Submitters are aware of the FAQ; 'Are paywalls ok?

It's ok to post stories from sites with paywalls that have workarounds. : https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html

Which means for the Publishers of pay-walled sites to be featured on HN,

which is a prime site for garnering potential paying new prospects and to replace natural attrition of subscribers.

Some Publishers see this as a positive.. free samples, a minor amount of the Publications full output,

much like a paid agent in a supermarket giving out cheese and/or spiced meat on a stick etc, to encourage new users.

Other Publishers see this as mice nibbling at their cheese.

I use archive.is because almost of the Articles submitted to HN are already archived, so it is a simple copy and past.

archive.is does Not require java to read or to archive an Article,

it is fast and the archiving scripts work on most sites.
Because while your "power" consumption is mostly renewables (again, you arguing against something slightly different than what I write), it's a small part of your total consumption. What about all the power China uses to build the things we in the west consume? That's on your budget.
And yet, someone was arguing in a comment here that a focussed government body couldn't be better than the individual! I'm sure they wouldn't make the equivalent argument wrt code...
> You know it's an emergency when the status quo is completely unacceptable and the government takes drastic measures

So if we never acknowledge it it is never an emergency?

It is rational self interest, but self interest beyond a point is selfish, which is generally considered a negative personality trait.

If you want to put it in game theory perspective, normalizing selfish behavior means that when you could benefit from something in another country but won’t you’ll be the one suffering discrimination.

If we can reach agreements international cooperation can benefit all parties better than the greedy solution.
Perhaps you know this already, but Voyager 2 actually uses an tape recorder for data storage. I assume that all other options were either too fragile or too expensive back when it was built.

The vehicle records flight and sensor data to tape, and then periodically broadcasts that back to earth. As of 2022 the tape drive appears to be still working [1].

Couldn‘t one simple cut the decayed ends and graft new electrodes to fresher nerves behind?

Yes, yes, slowly cutting away at the non reneweable nerves, widening the gap to keep the connection working, becoming more cyborg as the time passes.

Sounds crazy, but for the reward it brings, is there a price too high?
For the most part maybe tru but at the low end of yhe job market I disagree.

My current robo/vac/moo does a better job more frequently than any human I paid to sweep the floor. The robot is less than a months wages and no paperwork.

One of the large employment sectors in our area is landscaping landscaping and I could see 75% of that labor going away.

The amount of manual repetitive labor available for humans is probably already dropping.
Absolutely fair.

As long as there are physical releases in the first place, that option will probably never vanish completely. Personally, I'm more "concerned" about the Indie/AA scene - when there's no physical release in the first place, I can't even visit the ship down the road to buy it. But that's independent of the PC/console divide, so I'm just rambling now.

This is a great point that should really be highlighted more in their marketing. It was obvious once I read it and shows two obvious benefits: 1. There is probably zero issue with fitting in to the 1000 searches per month. 2. It saves time for many of the searches we’re already doing.

What also worries me a bit is that Wikipedia started to use them in their references, to archive paywalled references.

This is only true in markets in which increased efficiency = more success. Many markets do not function this way; e.g., the art market. Making more paintings more efficiently does not make you a better-known artist. In many cases, it actually hurts you.

I would bet that more markets become like the art market: dependent on "intangibles", nepotism, personality, and other qualities that have nothing to do with efficiency, and therefore, won't benefit that much from AI tools.

> while putting a substantial portion of GDP into building nuclear reactors and removing carbon from the atmosphere.

The first thing takes years and we still don’t have feasible technology for the second. Not to mention that we would still have a lot of emissions from transport, manufacture, and meat consumption.

A technological silver bullet would be cool but the reality is that we don’t have one and there’s nothing in the near future. But reducing our consumption is something we can start doing now.
I wonder if current technology can achieve the same level of reliability.

For software, I fear complexity would make it much harder to build something that works for 50+ years, the probability of some nasty long term overflow bug or slow memory leak would make that difficult.
Rediscovering Narratability
I'll use analogies with previous technologies.

Agriculture shaped humans to create buildings, create social classes with different levels of power, create armies, governments and rulers to protect themselves from other tribes. Gradually these grew up became empires and created monotheist religions to substitute animist religions.

The Industrial Revolution shaped humans and culture to move to cities, work in factories/offices instead of home/fields and to think in more abstract terms (math, written words, etc).

Cars shaped human society, governments and urban plans to be heavily dependent on roads and all the car assistance economy. Think Houston/Los Angeles vs. Copenhagen/Amsterdam.

Radio, television and publicity shaped our daily lives to consume a lot of crap we don't really need, from cigarettes to diamond rings.

Social media shaped our political discourse into tribal stupidity and paranoia.

So just use basic Marshall McLuhan: the media is the message. Technology shapes humans and culture. AI will shape humans and culture. We just don't know how.

The captcha page looks like cloudflare, but I don't think they're using cloudflare, haha. They use recaptcha (not sure if that's possible with cloudflare), the `server` header doesn't == 'cloudflare', accessing by direct ip gives "hello world" instead of the "Direct IP access not allowed" cloudflare message, /cdn-cgi/trace isn't accessible.

Not sure why they do that. Is it just because it looks decent, or is it poking fun, maybe because of their issue with 1.1.1.1?
What is it about printers where all the makers exhibit the most egregious dark patterns, the flakiest products, and the worst software design in the drivers, out of any tech product? Is the toner in the air giving them all brain rot?
To be fair, though, pretty much the entire (vocal) enthusiast PC gamer niche has universally panned the recent releases from Nvidia and is hoping and waiting for the next 5000 generation. If Nvidia had released a "good" and competitively priced 4060/70/ti segment, their numbers might have looked different.

Anecdata (n=1): I'm currently running a 3070 but increased my screen size lately, so I'd like to upgrade and hand down my current card to my wife. After checking the current market, I essentially have two choices: either spend ~300€ more than I should have to on a 4070ti/4080 or bury the chance of properly working with AI locally and go with AMD (which might increase my power costs immensely as well).

So I just do neither and wait, and I'm surely not alone in this position.
V’GER is that which seeks the creator.
That's separate to my reason to use it as an example.

So, I'm a very unusual person in that I can't be bothered to spend more than about €12k/year. The idea of owning most stuff just doesn't motivate me. I earn significantly more than €12k, because I think the immigration office wants me to, but I'm not motivated by it myself.

If everyone was like me, most advanced economies would just collapse as everyone went down to 5-20 hours per week.

The observation that the economies have not collapsed, demonstrates that most people do actually want to acquire stuff.

The observation of a job offer for $900k strongly implies that there are people who are motivated to acquire $900k (less taxes) worth of stuff each year.

From that it follows that at least some people will be motivated to work just as much as they currently do, in order to earn about 16x as much money, in order to spend it on 16x as much stuff.

(16x is here an observation, not an upper limit).
> NEVER take local events

No-one was commenting that when the news piece about record high temps in the Andes was posted in here recently, I could ask myself rethorically why did that happen but we both know the answer.

Either way, I’m sure going to copy-paste your suggestion on all such future discussions related to “local events” that will only help fuel the hysteria. It won’t do any help, as the recent pandemic has shown that there’s no real remedy against localized hysteria, but I can try.

Oh, I'm all for reducing consumption of useless crap. Personally I don't buy many things, most of my spending goes toward food and books.

I thought we were talking about energy "consumption", not consumption of material goods. However, I'm still not sure how much reducing that kind of consumption is going to help in the overall picture of the climate crisis. It's also not realistic to expect that everybody is just going to stop buying things in the next 10 years.

I've been a touch typist since I was a boy, and a programmer for more than four decades (started out on teletypes), and I've never had any kind of hand or wrist problems with normal keyboards ever. I'm choosy when it comes to keyboards though, for where I do most of my programming. Never liked the clicky ones, but what one likes is individual choice.

Looking at my hands as I write this, my wrists are not bent, or at least so little that I don't notice it. My hands are still in the normal touch type positions. Tried split keyboards (like so many other people did) but they don't do anything for me. "Normal" keyboards have the huge advantage that wherever I am (at customers, home, work, computer rooms, everywhere), there's a keyboard I can use.
Machines will be able to do that too. Hell, non-AI algorithms are already doing that - e.g. social media algorithms picks what should be promoted to individuals; of course they are working for the social media company rather than those individuals but my point still stands.
Companies inherit quasi-cognitive abilities not merely from the people they make up, but the structures of their interactions, particularly power structures. This creates something emergent that wasn't there before.

Your argument is like saying "we've already solved biology -- it's physics all the way down!" Except, it's not. The information-processing and entropy-generating capacities of biological organisms surpasses those that would be expected from a purely physical perspective.

As someone who is just seriously noticing Kagi because of this HN post, I have no brand impression that tells me you’re trying to pass on the savings (most companies don’t) and the marketing material even makes me think you’re targeting a premium price point with healthy margins.

Researchers discovered a Twitter influencers botnet powered by ChatGPT
8.5% better at reproducing German-Japanese word pairs, but ok. And not during sleeping, really. It's during learning, sleeping and testing that effect occurs. Ikd why the headline only mentions sleeping. Am I reading figure 4 wrong?

It is known for a longer time that reproducing knowledge is somewhat better when it occurs in the same environment as learning took place. This might capitalize on that, but not really, as odor in learning and testing doesn't score well. But I agree, it might also be a fluke, bad design, drawer effect, etc.

The statistics are not convincing. When I look at the difference between LS and LST on the last day, LST has a lump in the middle, which would mean most learners didn't benefit. LS is on average lower, but one or two bad learners in that group would account for the whole difference. So I'm not convinced.

And then there's the "no significant differences in sleeptime" spiel, which is 100% bollocks.

How do Ergo layouts make it harder to touch type? I learnt touch typing after getting my first ergo keyboard, but I found it a transferrable skill to normal qwerty staggered keyboards with little need for adjustment.

For reference, I use a ZSA Moonlander.

Comments Owl for Hacker News [1] adds a mute control to comments and user profiles which lets you do this.

If you want to roll a quick version of your own, once you've identified rows containing comments you want to block, you need to hide all subsequent rows which have a higher indent. I see there's now an "indent" attribute in the DOM which would make this even easier.

The medium iOS app is hot garbage
Medium: your IOS app is hot garbage.

Editing a story is nearly impossible. Bolded text creates random capitalisation when you edit it. Line spacing is misrepresented. You randomly bounce to the bottom of the article being edited. The preview functionality is so bad its not even clear what it is -supposed- to do but doesn’t.

If you aren’t going to fix this at least allow mobile users to edit in the browser instead of forcing them to install your absolute travesty of application development.

I love the idea of medium and have posted a lot of articles there, bringing thousands of readers. Trying to use your crAPP has brought me to the edge of self immolation and it’s not even 6am yet.

Please. Fix your app or don’t make it mandatory. You are inflicting pain on the writers that create value for your business.
> directly moving towards an improved model via linear regression is more efficient than randomly changing your model and then running a natural selection simulation to improve fitness.

That is objectively true, but don't underestimate how much of that process is simulated by the way we train our models. The natural selection bit never was natural to begin with (it's obviously artificial), and is the rough equivalent of the final step in training a model: verification on unseen data. If the model performs worse compared to a previous one then it is discarded!

Evolutionary algorithms are somewhat interesting because they can come up with weird stuff that works anyway, that random element can result in entirely novel approaches (to the point that we have a hard time to understand what is going on) and that's something that I have not seen with neural nets.

There are some interesting hybrids:
