There was a time in the past when "redesigns" like these were too subtle to be newsworthy. I've recently experienced a painful startup failure and the experience has forced my mind to focus on what matters: boring, stable technology delivered fast, solving the user's problems with no frills, bells or whistles. I'm now thinking of using Google Chat (right there, integrated into the GMail interface) for my next thing, rather than paying Slack.
A lot of those articles talk about Russian gas - a perfect reason to go for renewables harder and spend more - it's an investment in the future.
"First, there’s a Jekyll plugin that hooks into the site’s build step...

And then there has to be a whole payment system to handle the subscriptions, which is apparently separate.

This requires support and hand-holding to get it to work. It's nice to be able to host your own paid-subscription blog, but it's inherently complicated to get that to work. It's so much easier to sign up for some service that does the whole job. Especially just for a blog.

This is also why most "federated" systems don't get traction. Per-user, it's so much more work than a centralized system.
Same here. Never been to Chicago, live in Germany.

I had the unihertz atom for a while and it was a terrible device with poor software and support. You would think, given it’s based on android you could reflash with something useful but no, they don’t provide you the necessary drivers and stuff to do this.

Avoid these chancers.
That’s actually what’s helping me focus, because it means I can close slack and check email a couple times a day and get work done in between.
I am not convinced this is widespread behavior.

It doesn't have to be widespread to do a lot of harm.

The worst of the homeless -- street homeless, pushing stolen shopping carts -- are a tiny minority, but it's what everyone remembers. It harms both public perception of unhoused individuals and the way public policy regarding homelessness gets made.
I am seeing this increasingly. I don't know if it's a confirmation bias, or there's some kind of movement in the UX circles that's churning these things out.
Imagine how many bugs they could have fixed with this budget.
Has Anglican been used in any significant project?

It looks interesting (though tbh I barely understand what it does.. it's borderline technobable to me) but I haven't been able to find it used anywhere on Github. It's also gotten zero updates since 2018

Doesn't mean it's not a hidden gem... I would have said something similar about Missionary as well
Chlorine is a powerful oxidizer and can probably destroy electronics. Unfortunately it has harmful effects against bags of mostly water, too.

I'm thinking that if we can get the AIs to generate harmful substances and apply it to their own hardware, this will be a key weapon during the Rise of the Machines.

Not really had a reason to switch.
It's an attack on progressives. That's how I've been viewing all of this. I can believe Zuckerberg is not a fan of Musks handling because Z tried to keep his users but manipulate their beliefs via targeted political posts (and this worked to some degree). Musk screwed the pooch and is just kicking out his users, which doesn't disempower them, it just makes them look elsewhere.
The switch is low margin?

The margins in question here are the margins for Nvidia/AMD, not Sony/Microsoft/Nintendo. It would not surprise me at all if AMD makes better margins on the Playstation than Nvidia does on the Switch.
I agree that their version seems more sympathetic and biased imho, but it doesn't seem 100% whitewashed.

For example "...[facism is] a fear-built society based on the “common will” of the people, the stifling of dissent and persecution of minority groups, and militarism and imperialism by conquering and ruling weak nations." doesn't exactly sound positive to me.
I think you have misread the tweet. It says it does not work _and_ discourages the action.
Why would money be the only value, that is a really sad view on life. The developer gets joy and gratitude, they can live a happy life. Why bring money into it. Money does not make happy.

This is FUD. You don't need to have studied abstract algebra to understand the monad laws. Basic high school maths is more then sufficient.

Man, being offered $11k for an extension would be hard to say no to... With that a down payment for a house is a much smaller problem. It's always a good idea to consider where the line is for ones own ethics.

Not sure what the Canadian trespass laws are but would that work?

In the UK you’d have to ask a trespasser to leave first as it’s a civil matter.

If they don’t leave immediately or they threaten you then it’s criminal and you can call the cops.

So if you don’t catch them trespassing you can’t really do anything about it later.

Does Canada treat trespass a crime?

Here, if damage is done during trespass that’s also different. Which is why I think I’d go the small claims court route for the cost of clean up and time spent dealing with it.
"Neural networks" just mean perceptrons.

Practically, the only thing that matters is that branch prediction assumes that history repeats itself, and that past patterns of a branch being taken in certain conditions will impact it being taken again.

So that means that conditions that are deterministic and relatively constant throughout the lifetime of the program will most likely be predicted correctly, and that rare events will most likely not be predicted correctly. That's all you need to know to write reasonably optimized code.
Fine, irreversible on a human scale. The last time the earth was this hot (known as the Eemian period) was back when humans just started migrating from northern Africa to the Arabian peninsula, ~125000 years ago.

That's a whole lotta damage done in under 200 years since we industrialized.
I remember seeing pictures of this in a book as a child and thinking how cool that must be. Farewell!

Too bad.

It's one of those things that dates from a period in the 1960s when the oceans were seen as worthy of exploration as the Moon. People talked about undersea cities. But only a few very tiny undersea research habitats were ever built. There just wasn't a use case.
I have a script that edits slack's JS bundle to remove a class of notification that cannot be turned off, at least in the Linux version.
A sad commentary no doubt. But, it is always tough to get donors to cough up sustainment funds. The glamor is in the new. Might be easier to get more if the naming rights are offered up. Newer isn't always better but one can hope the same foresight and build quality can be brought to a future design.

They nailed it in the US, yeah. Elsewhere, not so much, which is more evidence that it was accidental/lucky than intentional.
I built a DIY PC with used GPUs (2x RTX 3090) for around 2300€ earlier this year. You can probably do it for slightly less now (i also added 128GB RAM and NVLink). You can generate text with >10 tok/s with that setup.

The US has a weird habit of supporting shitty regimes for short term, small gains. Then being shocked when they turn out to be big problems in the medium term. You tell me: would you rather have a slightly more self interested democracy in Pakistan OR continue with a totally self interested, money hole, dictatorship that hid Osama Bin Laden?

You see the exact same thing in Saudi: short term small gains and long term enormous costs. And the inverse with (say) India: refusing to bow to all US demands means the world's largest democracy is basically rejected in favour of its theocratic military junta neighbour...

I actually think this is the last remnants of secrecy in government: in few other areas can the executive secretly do dumb shit. But they can here. So they do. But that does not make it any less dumb...
Teams is a lot like herpes: no one chose it, but everyone has it.
Yeah, but more worker doesn't automatically mean more money for pensions.

What matters is productivity and the workers share of it.

Fewer workers with higher wages have the same effect on pension payments.
There is a middle ground of self hosted solutions that get the job done with less hassle.

For example, Ghost has payment systems integrations. I'd imagine there's a docker container ready to go for deployment.
Tech startups often invest a big portion of their marketing budget in creating useful technical content that people actually want to read. I found [0] yesterday which I think describes the "why is it necessary to have blogs" quite well.

Creating a good article takes dozens of hours to draft, and often many more to polish, edit etc. If you benefit from it, I'd suggest encouraging companies to do this more rather than buying paid ads etc (but I'm biased as I run a tech writing agency that helps companies implement exactly this, so take with a pinch of salt).

Use perplexity.ai . Why not use AI to learn AI! The good thing I like about this tool is that it gives citations, so that you can learn further beyond summarization it does.

> Billions of people

While that is a positive take that could explain it, I am not convinced by that number crunch. 2/situations per year, per person, that is still "a lot" to be considered plausible statistical coincidence.

Would be glad to hear from you.
Thank you for this really helpful informative and educational comment.

I would really like to understand how to implement backpressure properly.
No, but it is their fault for not caring that people will use www and no-www interchangeably, and not having a SAN and redirect for the secondary one. That's objectively a usability problem for the website.
Is there not a way to query a database with the ID from a phone?

Why the extra steps?
It is actually a primary suggestion in Bing Chat, where you supposedly get a scenario of a busy housewife who writes a high-level description of her requirements, and then Bing to the rescue, lays out a six-course meal plan exactly as directed!
Why shouldn’t I be allowed to use these models on my own hardware for personal use and experimentation?
That's the metric I usually use. It's absolutely inconclusive, but it works for peace of mind at least. Have I seen any ads for something I bought? Usually the answer is "no". I'm still at the mercy of sort order on sites like Amazon and eBay, but that's much less scary because if I really care, I can sort by lowest price first.

> On average she was pressing her keyboard 54 times an hour during the periods in which she was being monitored.
Yeah, the decline in neighbourlyness would be an even more interesting phenomenon to study.

My person hunch is back in the day there was a more "we're all in the same boat" feeling at the street level, where everyone had similar socioeconomic backgrounds whereas now that's not true at all.

In the past, in the UK, everyone living in a road may have had the same landlord (the local council) but now you can have multi-millionaire with a £50K car living next door to someone in an identical house who is renting privately, on housing benefit, taking the bus to their minimum wage job, and struggling to feed their kids.

People are much more willing to give and receive help from their "peers"
They use lets encrypt so its all free. It just seems a weird thing to complain about for a site just starting out. Sure it could be more polished, but also people could just link to the correct url.

> Haskell's ... complexity when it comes to having to solve problems that are not in this space (having to use monads or effects for io)

Absolutely the opposite in my experience! Haskell is the best language for effect-heavy code precisely because of the fine-grained control over effects that it provides.
Maybe it should be e actually? At least I'd pattern-match e into such a relationship.
Depends if your employment contract is with the German or American entity.
Poor choice of words. I meant enormous costs compared to what you get out of it. Though latter is hard to quantify and depends on each family.
i'm delighted you liked it
Which AGI are you referring to?
Ask HN: Which math book(s) did you learn the most from?
Which math book(s)/textbook(s) were the most valuable to you knowledge and skill development wise? In a sense, making even more math topics much more easier for you to understand.

Like, for me, Spivak's Calculus and Hubbard and Hubbard's Linear Algebra + Multivariable Calculus literally gave me wings. I began visualising problems in terms of matrices and transformations. Later I read Jaynes Probability Theory with much more ease. Because I got into thinking mathematically.
This just makes the case for supporting it even further, because then they'd be supporting multiple years worth of hardware with just the effort for one uarch
Might there not just be a semantic issue here? Unless I'm mistaken you seem to be equating ambition with doing very well at something, such as successfully climbing a corporate ladder. And that's an absolutely reasonable ambition that's also more attainable than ever, as you mentioned. But I think Paul Graham was speaking of ambition in terms of revolutionary or world-changing type stuff.

For instance in a parallel world Elon Musk ends up going to work at Boeing and perhaps even gradually works his way up to becoming their chief engineer. But in this world it's unlikely he would have even been able to create fully reusable rockets. That was not only an expensive and extremely high risk venture, but one which many key people, such as Tory Bruno (CEO of ULA - a Boeing/Lockeed partnership), were aggressively dismissive and even mocking of, until SpaceX proved it. Let alone all his other ventures like Tesla or big picture goals like creating human colonies on Mars.
parody is a reasonable defense against infringing the yc trademark but not the onion trademark in this context
AI (or whatever this is) will ipso facto kill way more newer people than it will the extant mob.
That's my point. You accept one bad thing because other things are also bad. Should instead solve both.
i'm tempted to do that myself

some of it is necessary. but it’s ridiculous how much people travel
This is essentially the model of App Stores.

And it works. At least to keep the worst off Apples App Store. Mostly. Googles play store is apparently much more linient. And contains lots of horrible apps.

But the costs, as you mention, are real too. So much, that many, including myself, simply forego Apple as target at first. Sure, it's the more popular platform and it has more people willing to pay. But the review hurdles aren't worth it in the beginning.

There are more fertility issues - probably the main cause is that people are having kids like 10-15 biological years older than a generation or two ago. I don’t think that’s the main cause though - or it should be visible in some kind of insane spike in fertility treatments
See: every recipe site in existence.
OK, ... so you rather justify a recipe app accepting chemicals as inputs to blame a news site for their reporting than to identify the problem?

Edit: removed a part about The Guardian.
In all fairness, there is some old information I would love to disappear eventually. Nothing quite as frustrating than having a question and all the tutorials are for a version of a software that is 15 years old and behaves completely different than the new one.
The author wrote a very simple MPEG[1] decoder, so there's an obvious benchmark for making that even simpler.

I personally wouldn't mind a Quite OK Page Description Langage. Something that gets you most of PDF/PS/HPGL without all the effort. Could use the Quite OK Image Format for bitmap images. Not sure whether you'd need a Quite OK Vector Format and/or a Quite OK Font Format as prerequisites…

Before someone suggests a new search engine where the ranking algorithm is replaced with AI, I would like to propose a return to human-curated directories. Yahoo had one, and for a while, so did Google. It was pre-social-media and pre-wiki, so none of these directories were optimized to take advantage of crowdsourcing. Perhaps it's time to try again?

I'd say for 90% of what I do on Slack IRC is very comparable. It has channels so you can organize your chats around certain topics or ad-hoc create one to discuss between only a handful of people. It also has one-to-one chats. Sure, it doesn't have media sharing (unless you count the quite terrible file-sending feature) but it's not terribly often I need to send files over Slack which aren't already stored in some shared storage so I can simply send a link (which also means that access to documents is managed in a single place, generally a good thing). And as for delete/edit, I hardly ever do this. Most of the time people fully well understand me if I mistype something, and there's always the trusty asterisk correction which is faster to type anyways. And one thing IRC does which Slack doesn't is show me who's in the room, which at least gives an indication as to who might have seen my message.

Does Slack add more features? Sure, and some of them are pretty great. But is it a revolution over IRC to the point that you sully your mouth by uttering them in the same sentence? Not at all. At the end of the day they are both room-oriented text based communication channels.
More specifically it dates from that Cold War period where submarine related activity was disguised as "Ocean Research" and slathered with pictures of dolphins.

FLIP was all about those undersea sound waves, thermal gradients and sloping ocean bottoms.

Less underseas cities, more total atomic warfare.

Basically you have a thin proxy on some not so cheap but ‘anonymous’ Bitcoin payed VM, that then (http) links to your vpn endpoint.

You need the dual setup as using the btc vm for storage of terabytes of data as well as for TB of traffic is too expensive for a volunteer run project.
Chrome and Firefox tell you the permissions of the extension changed and ask you to confirm or deny in a dialog box that doesn’t go away until you choose one.
On one hand the guys on top are telling us that we're destroying the planet and we should reduce carbon emissions by any means necessary (dont touch their private airplanes and yachts though).

Chlorine, huh.

I vaguely remember that a few months back, I was giving the example of me knowing how to make chlorine in two distinct ways using only kitchen items (and chemistry GCSE grade B knowledge) in the context of discussion about AI alignment and why you shouldn't just anarchically give free public access to unbounded models.
I'm not sure what the ability to blame the Guardian has to do with anything, I'm basing the above comment solely on this submitted article and don't really know the Guardian as an organisation. I have no beef with them, if I'm reading your tone correctly.

As for allowing to input chemicals: garbage in, garbage out. We accept that from tools (and some countries from guns) but not from software. Maybe that's how it should be, but I find it an interesting discrepancy. In general, as a hacker, I'm happy if a tool lets me use it for unintended purposes (such as humor in this case)
If they sell data then it's possible to buy that data. So a security researcher could simply try buying that data and then expose that VPN provider.
