I personally would love a simple way to do a reverse proxy. It is not hard, but could be as easy as writing the hostname you want and what it points at.
This is a bit simple, too. AAVE is not a single thing. All black people do not have the same accent, and some don't have similar accents to each other. There is also no an ur-accent floating around that is perturbing all black people in a uniform way from the local accents that surround them.

And while people can theorize that some notably common Black speech patterns arose from West Africa because they can find similar things in some contemporary West African speech - this is a comparison that people were biased to make (black people imported from West Africa talk funny, must be West African influence.) Black people's accents as you quote here are generally the same archaic Scottish/Irish/English accents that everyone else they lived near had, but didn't continue identically because black people were physically separated from white people socially, and often living under enforced illiteracy.

Black people were brought here speaking a huge number of languages, and forced to live with other black people who didn't speak the languages they spoke, and forced to live under white people who demanded that they speak in a subservient manner and remain illiterate.

AAVE is honestly a joke. It's another way to designate black people as a designated foreign underclass. Black West Texans or Hill Country Mississippians don't sound like black New Yorkers. Black West Texans sound a lot like white West Texans, and black New Yorkers sound a lot like white New Yorkers. That they don't sound identical is due to segregation, past and current, not some foreign origin.

The reason they don't track black people's accents, or even recognize them, is because no one cares about black people. It's easy to see how the recognition of "AAVE" seems like a victory if one thinks that all black people are fungible.

edit: and of course, if you're white, talking "black" is a single thing, and white people can do it. It involves holding your hands in weird ways, pushing your chest out, making a mean face, and can only be used (and will almost always be used) when talking about partying, violence, or having sex. Pop music is minstrelsy.
What I mean is that you start forgetting/doubting grammar while writing a post to social media.

You have done well at mimicking Le Guin's style here, but this isn't actually from Earthsea, is it? Did you write this yourself? Or this being Hacker News, did you ask an LLM to continue the except above?

I don't think Le Guin would have said that reality as a complete concept is something like an unspeakable horror, and I'm not sure I like the idea of presenting a creative fictional except as if it's legitimate.
So you're saying there's no examples, meaning that you're actually claiming such subreddits don't exist

Hello! I am looking for data or ML engineering roles or Technical PM roles. I recently finished my PhD in computer science which focused on Social AI (motion generation and dialog systems/NLU). This gave me hands-on experience and loads of exposure to a ton of ML frameworks. I thrive off the whirlwind of activity in the bay and am having a great time learning new technologies whilst starting my search to re-enter industry.

I have experience in team management and as a full stack engineer, but would prefer focusing on either growing my team lead skills as a PM or my technical skills as an AI researcher or engineer.

I find myself strongly motivated by being a part of a solid team, so I'd love to hear from you and see how my skills might be a fit!

Big thank you for getting this quote here in full - you've got me to read the whole of Earthsea. Very poignant and interesting approach to authorship.
Thanks for that! What a fascinating set of problems.

It is interesting that all of the ones listed in that section involve either infinities or infinitesimally small points -- except for Norton's dome. Which really makes it a great example for that reason.
There is a combinatorial number of different materials out there. They chose a particular small subset of them that they predicted might have some interesting properties and, over two decades, discovered one that may have those properties.

Most hypotheses are wrong, and even if they turn out right it may well be a case of being right for the wrong reasons. Regardless, this is top tier research: unglamorous, uninstagramable drudgery guided by intellect. Sure, there's luck involved, but research always involves luck.

This is probably 50% of the reason I use nitter instead of twitter. Aside from not having to have an account, it lets me right click to open tweet threads in a new tab. Which, given the nature of twitter conversations, seems like pretty key behavior! I want to be able to view conversational threads, but I also want to keep my place in the original page so that I can keep opening new threads! It's really not that hard and the actual twitter UI makes it very difficult (although you can get around it with some browser tweaks, but it's still more annoying than a simple right click)
No I think he’s saying the government should not get to decide which speech should and shouldn’t be allowed. For example in the US the government attempted and was somewhat successful in banning speech that favored communism which was in no way justified.

I think it’s a reasonable criticism of these types of policies given how governments of the past have misused their power of censorship.

Whereas for practical security, having some common substring in all your passwords that you don't type but insert through some global hotkey would be just fine as a mitigation against eavesdrop attacks.

Yes, that's also obscurity, but obscurity is actually good - it only got a (deservedly) bad reputation from when it gets used as a substitute (but I fail to see how using a nonstandard keyboard layout would even count as obscurity in the context of an audio attack, as the clear text reference would surely go through the same layout?)

I think C is a perfectly fine language for modern projects and one can write good software with it. In fact, most software I use on daily basis is written C and extremely reliable: Linux, git, xcfe, terminals, vim, etc. The software I use which is written in C++ or Python have far more issues (e.g. libreoffice or inkscape crash regularily). Python backtraces I see quite often.

Or in other words: The notion that all C software is buggy and crashes all the time simply does not match my own experience.

So I guess we can start seeing lots of lawsuits against people who didn’t take these steps to avoid this risk.

I wonder if class action suits against YouTube, TikTok will make it. And against specific big streamers.

I think it’s reasonable to ask for at least all revenue from a video, if not treble damages as these video producers aren’t even attempting to get consent before commercializing.

I don’t care too much, but anything that puts a damper on social media is good in my book. Kind of like I thought the reason Facebook got a bad rap in 2016 was dumb but was still happy because it harmed Facebook.

Show HN: Python library to run a “function” over a set of data via ChatGPT
Found myself needing to process a list of ~7000 strings through ChatGPT to classify them correctly, so made this utility that divides them into batches to reduce API calls and token usage and handle decoding the results and re-running ones that had garbage returned automatically
The problem of course is that so many things are experiential (rather than data driven) so the question “What would convince you otherwise?” could only be answered by “Having lived a different life.”

Take, for example, a software engineering opinion that I hold dearly: “Good commit titles and descriptions, with sufficient description of why a change was made and notes on any non-obvious implementation decisions, are valuable and necessary.” This arises from my experiences trying to debug code in repos filled with commits titles ‘wip’ and ‘address feedback’ and ‘changes’ which inexplicably touch 5k LoC. I simply despise trying to divine what some past developer intended without any clue as to why; it is an epistemological impossibility even when sometimes the past developer is me. More over I am convinced this is necessary because I also have the experience of doing all the work to understand some spaghetti—using old issue tickets and git blame to slowly build a mental model of the codebase—finding the bug, changing it, and having the whole system violently reject my fix because what appears to the naive observer to be a bug is, in fact, intended behavior the system depends on.

What would convince me otherwise that spending time on writing good commits is not worth the time and effort? Either an impossible-to-execute-without-confounding-variables longitudinal study that measures developer happiness over time in code bases that do/do not emphasize commit message quality. Or I could have different experiences that lead me to not care. Like if I never had to maintain legacy code or if everywhere I ever worked had issue trackers filled with explicit technical details and motivations then maybe I wouldn’t care; but that’s not my experience so I do care.

I don’t know how you hack your way past the reality that there is not one perfect way to write maintainable software and even if there was nobody actually has time for that. So you have to chose what to prioritize and some of those priorities may become your personal cargo cult.
Someone who only ever published a single work almost certainly was never a professional author / artist / whatever.

That complexity must be tamed in the office. It is hard for sure. But if the schedule isn't carefully planned with the right margins you can't run a system people trust.

There are more important things than safety. I'm not trying to excuse corruption here, but authoritarian leaders have used "public safety" to justify all manner of horrible acts. If protecting freedom, civil rights, and the rule of law means that some people die then that is an acceptable price to pay.

> Still, a blanket law against posting strangers without their consent would be draconian and unworkable. There are too many variables, too many circumstances, and simply too many cases.

There’s lots of revenge porn laws now and they seem to be helping to reduce the number of sites willing to post. And revenge porn is usually sent consensually but the victim doesn’t consent to the type of sharing. Obviously the harm is greater, I think, but there is a precedent for how a law could be structured.

It would also be quite easy to set up a “$100 statutory damages if you’re in someone’s video without consent” and watch the AI firms make a zillion dollars on recouping damages.
That's a great example. My experience is precisely the opposite. I gave up on commit messages years ago in my own projects and it has never had the slightest negative effect. I literally have sequences of hundreds of commit messages that are simply "update".

But my experiences are not yours. my projects are likely simpler, and I don't collaborate much. It would be dumb for me to follow your practices, and you mine.
I never doubt my grammar because I paid attention in English class. Also, I don't post to social media.

Deciding to layoff or not is a complex decision. Here the article only looks at Companies that did layoff. Although more difficult, would be interesting to also look at companies that also made this decision and decided not to layoff. Essentially widening the group of Companies evaluated to one step before the layoffs/no layoffs decision is made.
Hmm that's a really good question, I'm going to have a think about it before bed and see if a good night's sleep can help, but I'm not too optimistic I'll be able to write a particularly good article to answer that.

The brief thoughts off the top of my head are that the two options are either to spend money (which doesn't help the people in your question lacking money to spend on it), or to have someone(s) with enough experience in the broad area to be able to combine their gut feelings with some fairly light research.

So perhaps the best budget option would be to find someone you could hire for a couple of days of consultancy who can bring their gut feeling, though a) that's obviously not free and b) if you don't already have the right connection it can be hard to know whose gut to trust.

But it's an article I'd really like to either write or see written, so let me get back to you tomorrow, and if I can't think of enough useful guidance to make an article from it I'll ask some friends and colleagues and see if maybe someone else could.

p.s. Would be grateful of a thread upvote to help get more suggestions :)

edit: Am I right to infer from what you wrote that you're primarily thinking about market research in terms of figuring out if there is a potential product market fit, or also market research in a wider sense in terms of things like understanding competition, figuring out potential pricing, etc.?
> Cargo-cult thinking means only looking for, and only accepting, confirming evidence.

This article's definition of cargo-cult thinking seems incorrect. The definition I'm familiar with: when you lack a true understanding of some idea and end up just mimicking the superficial qualities. It's a great metaphor that comes up all the time in software engineering.

For example, seeing a successful system that uses microservices and thinking that switching your system to microservices will make it successful. If you don't understand exactly what the tradeoffs are and why those tradeoffs worked well for the successful system, you're not going to get the result you want.

Maybe the author confused "cargo-cult thinking" with just plain "cult-like thinking"?
Wait until the average/mean hot days climb as one keeps adding more temperature reading stations together around airports and not forest.
Good to hear. I was basing what I wrote on the previous sentence:

> This can be used to adapt or attenuate the functionality of a WASI API without changing the code using it.

It sounds like someone (who?) can use middleware to override an API to do whatever they like, even though there are specifications elsewhere about what they must do.

In the context of virtualization, would this allow things like running one virtual machine inside another? Sandboxes all the way down?
> people should have the skill of critically assessing the information they see, not trusting it by default, and knowing how to verify it

Unfortunately, in America and I imagine abroad, those skills have been actively eroded so as to favor of consumerism. Moreover, the tools to pull one over on your fellow man have gotten more and more sophisticated such that you cannot trust recorded voices to be real, you cannot trust recorded video of people talking, and likely soon won't be able to trust recorded video at all.

There's a serious problem with that in its own. But it's compounded when people don't satisfy the very requirements you want of them.
Very odd story, in that what's going on is, essentially "This obvious public racist also had a secret life, as a racist".

The TCPA allows suits to be filed in local courts, including small claims. You do not need to mess about with federal courts.
Dunno, but I’m not sure I like the name.
Is there really anything easier to do? If you're disabling the default event, you're doing it to provide some other functionality, which is necessarily going to involve writing a function to attach to a handler, and adding event.preventDefault() at the top is about as easy as it gets. Anything easier would involve eliminating the attached handler, which doesn't make a lot of sense.

Also, .preventDefault() wasn't obscure in the jQuery era; if it's obscure now that's a sad commentary.
You just don’t like how they work

Yes, you're right. I just don't like companies who practice blatant profiteering at user expense. But in your case, I'll make an exception. Get ready to grab your ankles, a new iPhone is coming soon.

It's good to see them adopting a stance instead of weird half-measures.

Remote vs in-office tends to get wrapped up in all kinds of narratives: it's a thrilling tale of the Evil Corporatocracy vs the Common Man, or perhaps it's the Future of Work, or even a dark conspiracy driven by Big Real Estate.

The fact is, it all comes down to personal preference: some people like WFH and some prefer in-office. It's best that companies pick one and stick with it, so people can work in whichever environment they prefer.
The same tools used to "prevent copyright infringement" are used to silence and censor legitimate protest and opposition to tyranny.

I second this. I think we’re confusing cognitive dissonance with cargo culting in this article.

Cargo culting is blindly copying something without understanding the mechanistic behavior of the thing being copied. Plenty of cargo culters end up convinced after following the recipe but the planes don’t show up.

Cognitive dissonance on the other hand is about not updating your beliefs when there’s overwhelming verifiable evidence to the contrary.

I think the two can go hand in hand. Hype cycles in tech suffer from both but I think they’re distinctly different things.

It's basically a POSIX interface for WASM.

I also agree with the AssemblyScript people. WASI is driven by people saying "I want to be able to compile existing Linux software to WASM and run it on a server!" and to do that they have pretty much just copied POSIX.

Great for running old software, but it seems very short sighted to me to tie WebAssembly to 70s UNIX design.

No, not necessarily. There's no indication of that whatsoever. The point was just that there's insufficient information to conclude much of anything about why this was observed. It could also be that PCI is over applied leading to increased mortality.

Yup. Pretty sure trained LLMs are functions of the dice rolls provided by the input. What we are now is a function of the dice rolls provided by terrestrial physics.
