Happy Birthday.

1. You got married. Congratulations. Don't ever treat her as if she's an option. She is not. Communicate too much. Communicate too often. Communicate well. If you left some red flags from your relationship, they will carry over into the marriage. Make sure you address them and compromise or get rid of them. Don't ever let anyone else into your marriage. Only you and your wife belong there. Everyone else doesn't matter. Kiss her everyday and tell her you love her.

2. A nasty habit of drinking can cost you your health, your body, and your life. Good for you to quit drinking. There's really no need for it anymore. It ain't gonna be easy, but I've met many men who quit cold turkey, some because they had to -- others because they wanted to. My father remains alive because he quit 15 years ago and when I offered him a drink, he refused. When I offered him a sip, he refused. No alcohol. Not even a drop. All his friends are dead.

3. Jobs will come and go. Hopefully you establish what you think of as a career. Make sure you know your value and your worth. Love what you do, do what you love, never work a day in your life. It will take time to get to where you want and need to be, but now that you're married, starting a family, your job is going to be your security for the next decade or more. Get along with the people you work with... they are family too.

4. Honestly, it's not advised to cut complete contact from your parents. My parents are nearing their 70s. I just lost my grandfather. I spent the past 3 years taking care of him as he started losing his independence. I cherish those moments and as I sat by his bedside in hospice, watching him take his last breath of air, I didn't cry because there was no need... he lived a good life, and we had many good times together. Parents will be going that way soon, too. The best I can do before they go is to make sure they knew I loved them and that we talked about everything we wanted to say... because the day will come, and they won't be there ever again. And you'll wish you had said more, made up. Life is short. They were once wiping your ass. Make peace if you can.

May you live the life you want, cherish every moment you can, and love the way John Lennon sang of love. One life to live... make every moment count.
I could mention 100 I reckon, but this comment would be cancelled so hard it would pop out the other side of the server :-). Which is the point.
This wouldn’t reduce total requests made so it would be a weird anti-DDOS measure.
I don’t believe any ideas are harmful to “society” [1], but there are many that are “harmful” to the current paradigm of power.

Some that come to mind:

1) The illusion of authority. The idea that some people have the moral right to do violence to enforce arbitrary rules written on paper.

2) The root cause of suffering, which is a lack of true knowledge of self and the nature of reality.

3) The fiat money system, or the idea of money at all.

4) The inherent ability (and maybe desire) to do harm and commit violence to existing in every being.

5) The idea of self ownership, when it comes to choices such as what we consume, whether it be food, “drugs”, or media.

6) Anything deemed a “conspiracy theory”.

7) Objective morality and natural law.

I could go on. All of these stem from a lack of knowledge of the self, morality, and the nature of consciousness and morality.

Of course these can be discussed in small groups, but widespread discussion of these, by “public figures” or “the media” is all but completely lacking.

Edit: I forgot to add a "citation" to my post.

[1]: I always wonder what people mean when they say society. Do they mean the current structure and way of doing things? Do they mean all people?
You can change the randomness value to 0 and get the same output each time for the same text
My take away is that how societies function is deeply deeply ingrained. Now were going to do things different runs head long in people expectation on whats legitimate. In particular effecting change by wholesale murdering people tends to just make things worse not better.
Whether or not one personally finds benefit from things like fine art, media, journalism or literature it's clear that our society places value on this through both private enterprise and public institutions.

> What is it that humanities majors learn that can't be learned for free, or maybe a few buck on Amazon?

This statement is more easily applied to some STEM fields. Why pay for a CS degree when you can learn everything online for free?
I agree wholeheartedly. The only remedy to bad information is more knowledge. With enough knowledge, all falsehoods fall away.
They haven't done it yet. What's been stopping them?

As long as CodeApprove and Reviewable remain niche they've got nothing to worry about.
Absolutely not applicable to corporations. Bad faith actions are rampant, and I am unwilling to give the benefit of the doubt to billion dollar companies.
I’m not describing my opinion, but the dominant public opinion. This is even supported by data that shows most people today sell their Tesla due to disappointment in Musk. Weird but a fact.
It's difficult to imagine competitive games becoming that popular nowadays - seems like people today want instant gratification / don't have the time. And I guess lots of people are more aware now than before that their aptitude for competitive games is not special or even above average and don't want to try anymore.
I guess you think they are actually working 103 hours per week. I have a bridge to sell, in case you are interested.
Maybe, but at least you are free to find out yourself.
All of those things still require management, which is the issue at hand here.

Also if you're renting your hardware... for a subscription ... that sounds an awful lot like the cloud with extra steps.

you should be downvoted for being this reductionist and uncharitable. this is a side project of a larger company effort.
I don't think incandescent was ever banned. They just have to meet a certain efficiency, and they are working on photon recycling incandescent builds that actually beat LEDs I think.
Reading this literally kept me alive a few times, half a lifetime ago.
Good point. My personal philosophy is to lean into these problems as opportunities for a DIYer. So otherwise absurd choices for a mass-produced design become the defining characteristics, like making a Bluetooth/voice assistant with a large-diaphragm condenser microphone capsule, and since it’ll need 48V for the phantom power, why not have a lovely vacuum fluorescent display and/or tube preamp between the DAC and speaker? Pile it all into custom machined aluminum chassis, and enjoy your new steampunk Nest.
There’s a protection system in place that can result in that; I don’t have the details at hand (since I’m not associated with HN/YC) but I remember seeing it once before on a highly contentious post, and an email to the mods helped explain/correct whatever was up.
domains load balanced across different servers in some overly complicated distributed topology with only one of them busted?

although seems unlikely it just happens to be the NYT.
it would also be nice to see one example that uses gpt4.
Normally I love this kind of thing, but I am unsure what quality this has which brings it to HN. It's not like there was a substantive tech component to the allegations, Not withstanding what people said about Dominion the arguments really wern't about the technology underneath voting machines.

Seriously this is a better fit: https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/new/
I didn't downvote, but your original comment is (to me at least) an unreadable, massive wall of links and quotes, that's hard to scan visually for a hint of its content, taking up unusually many screen-fuls on my mobile client.

This is only conjecture, but maybe some people who downvoted wanted to signal that they would have preferred a contribution that is more inviting and accessible to the reader.
Is 768k too slow to watch the video from the URL. If not, then I would not call that "throttled". Don't need 500 MB/s to watch a video. From what I've seen, when people discuss YouTube throttling online they are referring to max speeds of 60-70k. That's too slow to watch the video from the URL. Not too slow to download, though. And that's why this idea that YouTube is "preventing" downloads doesn't make any sense. There are download URLs in every /watch?v= YouTube page. Those are throttled. Max speed 60-70k.

Use this post-data and should get same speed as yt-dlp.

{"context": {"client": {"clientName": "ANDROID", "clientVersion": "17.31.35", "androidSdkVersion": 30 }}, "videoId": "$x", "params": "CgIQBg==", "playbackContext": {"contentPlaybackContext": {"html5Preference": "HTML5_PREF_WANTS"}}, "contentCheckOk": true, "racyCheckOk": true}

I do not use curl, except in HN examples. I generally do not download from YouTube. I use the URLs in the JSON to watch the video.
The Llama2 paper describes the training data in some detail.
Ugh, my university was all-in on those in ~2004 or so.

They were super slow to login and get into Netscape during daytime hours.

Thankfully I could get to the command line faster and knew my way around Pine and Lynx for quick email and newspaper check.
I'm sure it is, depending on just how long this re-route takes. I should hope that it's obvious that if they can simply steer around an illegally parked car without any issue, they should just do this, for many reasons. But if the double/triple-parked cars are completely blocking the road, they can plow through, and they have every right to.
Online services seeking revenue isn't a bad thing. However, offering the service for free (or without ads) initially until all competitors are dead and then seeking revenue shouldn't be considered benign.
The real question is not so much "can I do it on HN or other niche forum X" but "can I do it anywhere where people with polar opinions can have a reasonable debate", and even more interesting "can I say this in public, where my face is in punching distance" and then the ultimate "can I say this in an election campaign" (at which point even basic facts are off limits).
> Not exactly cherry-picked, these were from things I submitted myself and noticed that were shadow flagged.

Definitely not random, in any case.

> Also, even if "balanced" censorship was the desired goal,

Nobody claimed that. You merely stated that "I don't see a single left-wing new source in there." and I offered a counter-point.

> having one left-wing source vs a ton of right-wing one doesn't achieve that

I didn't do an exhaustive search for "left-wing domains" that are banned to present you a complete list, this was attempt 1 of 1.

Following your model, I could claim that 100% of left-wing domains are banned, but I won't.
Raising money after IPO is pretty different because there’s no fantasy element to valuation.

Public companies can raise money by selling shares in a registered direct offering, or doing a PIPE (private investment in public equity). They can even register to sell new shares directly on the market (called ATM). But if there are not enough buyers, it doesn’t help to keep printing shares.
I'm surprised they haven't been sued for hosting ROMs for old games. They are the best place on the web to download. Does anyone know if they've had issues with publishers yet?
I quit my job as an EM 3 months ago, and during that time off, I realized my life was becoming far too career-focused at the expense of any other interests. My partner and I decided to make some big changes, and we are now living in an RV as we travel the country. I’m also taking this opportunity to remotely start my own engineering agency. I had been chasing startups and exits for the past 13 years, and it feels good to just focus on bootstrapping my own lifestyle business.

I can’t say that my work will be more meaningful, but my life will be more interesting, and I am not beholden to investors and landlords.
Although he actually had a profit motive, god bless Larry Flynt.
I should probably re-test it, but I think it wasn't the temperature. The results were unusually useless.
They're not universally forbidden or prohibited, sorry I misspoke.

They are often discouraged by Catholic pastors who are preparing couples for marriage. There are prenups which are acceptable even in these cases, but in fact, some priests will balk and simply put a blanket prohibition, because they are not lawyers and probably don't have the qualifications or budget to evaluate the ramifications of each prenup in these cases.

Honestly, the Church just wants the couple to understand that marriage is defined as the permanent, loving, fruitful union of one man and one women, and then all their planning and actions stem from that definition. There are, in fact, several ways in which a marriage can be dissolved, even a Church marriage. But the pastors don't want couples to plan for that, or aim for that, or expect that that will happen to them.

Divorce is even seen as necessary in certain cases: yeah, if there is active domestic abuse, or if the spouse is doing crimes, or gross financial mismanagement that endangers lives, then divorce can be recommended, because it is a legal means of separating them, and extracting innocent parties from the harmful environment, and that is exactly what we mean by "persevering in love", because, you know, even women and children are loved and protected so much that their dignity and safety must be preserved. Such a divorce, in itself, won't dissolve a Christian marriage, but it's never killed anyone to live the celibate life, and essentially remain faithful, even if the partner couldn't.
That is true, but in a persistent setting they likely also copy more data, and iterator invalidation might be a concern in some cases when moving values around within a B-tree node. The motivation was not really to come up with the best tree structure or to even consider memory hierarchy at all.

Instead, within just the scope of binary search trees specifically, what cool things might we uncover by taking a closer look? In a hypothetical future, our hardware might be so different and caches so large and advanced that the best practices of today might not apply all the same.

Binary search trees today are probably only viable for absolutely massive collections, and at that scale there is almost definitely a better, bespoke solution available. Exploring without necessarily thinking about the hardware, in the abstract, has been a fun sandbox to play in. The fact that we still teach them suggests that they provide value beyond practical application.

Thank you for your feedback, you are absolutely right. In most practical use-cases today, a B-tree would likely achieve better results.

See, this is my beef with the reporting on this stuff and the source of my question.

The "photo" you're referring to was constructed by a super computer massaging enormous amounts of data to fit a model and constructing an image from weighted averages of thousands of data images across the spectrum from an enormously complex array of detectors in an unfathomably noisy environment [1].

It was presented by the media as a "photo", but it seems to me like it's more similar to the "image" we get from reconstruction of wifi signals in a room to determine interior object's shape.

Or maybe a better example would be the "photos" of atoms, which are not photos at all but a reconstruction of miniscule electromagnetic resistance readings from a STM whisker driven by a piezoelectric crystal.

I think we're supposed to get the ability to have better "photos" with the activation of LISA in 2037 [2] but until then, claiming that we have photos of black holes seems a bit misleading (not by you, I mean the science reporting).

I'm not sure why it matters if shady companies are slightly incentivized more to be shady?

If they don't really care, they're going to put the minimum possible effort on a separate 64 bit version too and it'll be just as inefficient anyways, except with no backwards compatibility.
I like your idea of find the human. Just building on that idea a little. I know current AI detection programs don't work well. But they would be fun in the context of a game. Call it "Only Robots Allowed" and have it be a single player version of Among Us. Pretend to be a robot while trying to sabotage robot things. AI detection is applied to your conversation with other robots. And also applied to your movements. If you fail the AI detection by not emulating an AI well enough, then it's time for "kill all humans!"
That encourages switching to another domain for spammy submissions.
I'm making a conscious effort to do more things that have no extrinsic objective, to do things just for their own sake. This is a familiar concept, it's a hobby (or art?). I feel I'm missing some of the joy and satisfaction that life has to give by always needing a stated tangible objective.
Is it not fairer to say that Orwell was not a fan of totalitarianism of any form?

It's not unreasonable to ask for a better understanding of the applicable law(s) in a post about a lawsuit.

Question the legitimacy of gender fluidity. Wonder aloud whether some traditional social norms have societal value, even if the religious rationales are absurd. Wonder aloud if violence (perhaps only against property) will be required to bring about radical political and economic change.

Shellac records need different replaceable needles, because fine pieces of grit are embedded in the record to harden it and wear down the needle. Needed because the tracking force was so high back in the day.

Modern records use a so-called "microgroove", usually crystal needles in the cassette, and one or so grams of tracking force. You probably wouldn't pick anything up off a shellac record, if you tried playing it.
Totally OT but this is the 2nd time I'm reading 'square area' and—shouldn't that be either 'square footage' or else 'area'? Area is already measured in power-of-two units, so why 'square area'? 'Cubic volume' anyone? 'Linear distance'?
I would wager most folks on the keyboard warpath (or podium/camera) would be much more civil with their alleged target if they were sitting across the table from them.

Surely the more important piece of missing context is that Animal Farm was published in 1945, while World War II was still raging and the Soviet Union and the UK were Allies fighting Nazi Germany?

They were always odd bedfellows, but the enemy of my enemy is my friend (at least temporarily), and it's sensible not to antagonize your friend when you're both engaged in literal mortal combat against the enemy.
I'm an anarchist, but you can read on for example council communism, which too is a libertarian socialism, it's Marxist and it is against Marxism-Leninism.

> Honestly, it's not advised to cut complete contact from your parents.

We don’t know the full story, we don’t know his state of mind, and we hence don’t know what the appropriate advice for his situation is. Let us not project.

I would, though, be keen to understand more about this situation. I have been in a similar situation where I have worked hard to develop enough emotional resilience to keep my toxic parents at arms’ length AND not need to cut them off. I assume not everyone is at this stage and cutting off might be the solution they need (at least temporarily).

This is made by a16z, ostensibly for business reasons. I am asking what their angle is.

As far as I know, they don't have much history in making things with "no extrinsic objective" - I could be wrong though.
Spammers can already do that API call and see if the domain shows up. This only puts human users at the same level of consideration as spammer automation.
> "Other platforms like Netflix..."

Youtube contains endless "generative fill" content made with all the care and effort of a vending machine. Lifeless, worthless, rinse/repeat content made by content spammers. A slap in the face in terms of value for money.

On Youtube's homepage recently I saw this video: "5 Tallest Building Demolitions in History". Worth a look, right? Wrong. Narrated with an artificial voice, and containing about 11 minutes of stock video clips, padding things out to reach the 12 minute length. The few seconds of demolition footage is fleeting and extremely low quality because the uploader doesn't own the footage.

Netflix isn't infected with such blatantly empty clickbait rubbish, so is a poor comparison if you're tying to say "but you pay $15 a month for Netflix, why not Youtube"?

While Youtube provides a "tip jar" called "super thanks", Google takes a 30% cut of whatever is tipped to the creator, ON TOP of what they take from advertising and premium fees. Google takes and takes. They increase ads as if there's no limit. Do you think advertising should have limits? Or are you fine with YouTube becoming wall to wall repetitive intrusive ads unless people pay the protection fee to not suffer the onslaught?
Lots of them were admirers of USSR and Stalin himself. Sartre, one of the most admired intellectuals of the time, was openly a fan until the USSR invaded Hungary in 1956. Lots of people, and lots of intelectuals, firmly believed that the USSR was building an utopia.

The advantage for Orwell was that he went to Spain to fight for the left, but as a Trotskist, and he and his friend were violently prosecuted, some killed, by the comunist party. You can read about it in his book "Homage to Catalonia".
That begets the question why Generals did not become such a hit multi-player game. AFAIK, the three factions in Generals (USA, China and terrorists) are quite different themselves in terms of play style.
