As I commented above, HN operates through indirect and oblique means. Ultimately it is is a social site managed through culture. And the way that this culture is expressed and communicated is largely through various communications --- the site FAQ and guidelines, dang's very, very, very many moderation comments. Searching for his comments with "please" is a good way to find those, though you can simply browse his comment history:

- "please" by dang: <https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=pastYear&page=0&prefix=tru...>

- dang's comment history: <https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=dang>

Yes, it means that people's feelings get hurt. I started off here (a dozen years ago) feeling somewhat the outsider. I've come to understand and appreciate the site. It's maintained both operation and quality for some sixteen years, which is an amazing run. If you go back through history, say, a decade ago, quality and topicality of both posts and discussions are remarkably stable: <https://news.ycombinator.com/front?day=2013-08-14>.

If you do have further concerns, raise them with dang via email: <hn@ycombinator.com> He does respond, he's quite patient, might take a day or two for a more complex issue, but it will happen.

And yes, it's slow, inefficient, and lossy. But, again as the site's history shows, it mostly just works, and changing that would be a glaring case of Chesterton's Fence: <https://hn.algolia.com/?q=chesterton%27s+fence>.

Is that a triple negative?
It's pretty wild that we still haven't reached parity with Macromedia Flash in the browser.

I mean, nearly 20 years ago I, a rube, was making professional animations in no time, and since then it got harder, and then less hard, but it's never been easier.

Hell, some (if not many) animation studios still use old Flash copies to make cartoons that are airing today.

This is super cool (and I'm a huge fan of Lottie), and I will probably check it out because I miss being able to make things easily but I can't help but feel sad that we're still making baby steps after a huge leap backwards.

(Don't get me wrong I understand why Flash died, but HTML5 did not remotely live up to the hype.)
The ISP (or any other business) should be required by law to list precisely the amount and conditions for all fees that the customer must pay, recurring and non-recurring. Any potential customer must have the opportunity to get this information from them (and doing so should not require an internet connection, since otherwise it is a conflict of interest if the fee is for the internet connection).

Even fees that are mandated by the government should be required to be listed, although the ISP need not say that they are mandated by the government (if they have the same conditions as other fees they charge, the amount can simply be combined with it). If a customer wants to know about the government mandates, they should request such information from the government or from public libraries (and again, internet connection should not be required, since it would be a conflict of interest if the fees are related to internet access).

If they charge a fee which is not listed, then the customer should not be required to pay that fee. The ISP might (at most) cancel the service (although it is unsure if it should be permitted, due to net neutrality), but they cannot sue you or debt collection etc, if it is their own fault.
Why your toxic colleagues climb to the top
So you admit that rich people putting in offers to buy the houses puts the homeowners in a better situation economically, but that doesn't matter because... feelings? I don't know about you, but personally I'd rather be in a warm house in Oklahoma, than homeless but with better feelings. If anything, if I was thinking clearly (ie. I didn't think the false options existed), I'd be furious if people like you prevented those offers from coming in (from lobbying governments to enact laws, for instance) because they thought they knew better than me.
But Apple has been named Apple for, what, five decades? And besides, “Apple Computer Corp.” was surely better than “Computronics Inc.” or whatever was in vogue at that time.

It makes the model dumber.

That seems simplistic, but its really simple as that. Naive 3 bit quantization will turn llama 7B into blubbering nonsense.

But llama.cpp quantization is good! I recommend checking out the graphs ikawrakow made for their K-quants implementation:

https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/pull/1684

Basically, the more you quantize with K-quant, the dumber the model gets. 2 bit llama 13B quant, for instance, is about as dumb as 7B F16, but the dropoff is not nearly as severe from 3-6 bits.
Two words: social skills.

Alas, they will always get rewarded for the attention-seeking behaviour. Always. Because it’s a sad fact that there are always people who are attracted to destructive attention-seekers, just as there are people attracted to mass murderers, satanic telepreachers, and promoters of poisonous ideologies. They simply don’t see these characters like you and I do. There’s money to be made by connecting these populations, from pamphlets and Speakers Corner to websites and Social Media. It’s always been a problem. But now, with a global population of billions, these trollish people are basically guaranteed to draw enough attention to have dangerous influence.
This must be one of the most obscure busted-myths of Americana that I've ever known. Edison has been a folk hero of science since my birth. His name was synonymous with "genius" like St. Mother Teresa's name was synonymous with "charity". Nobody questioned Edison or his legacy.

It's not surprising that Edison was a mixture of genius plus 20th-century hype machine mastery, and I suppose that most inventor-scientists have strong, eccentric personalities.

I think Edison also had a bit of Warhol going on, in that he could command a cadre of workers to do his bidding and git 'er done. I was going to cite his quote about inspiration and perspiration, but that belongs to Kate Sanborn! Another Edison myth, busted!
> Programmers love calling themselves engineers, but they'd better be careful in places where there are consequences attached to the term.

At least in the US, you can refer to this case where the state of Oregon tried to be as anal about the word "engineer" as you suggest and got slapped down. The whole case was a lot of fun because not only was the engineering board using unconstitutional restrictions of free speech, they were on the provably wrong side of an engineering argument while doing it, demonstrating just how stupid the attempted restriction of speech was in that case.

Because it wasn't a bug in the software. The software worked according to spec. The spec was wrong.
Because that would be impossible to prove, and Twitter’s owner has burned any expectation of good faith by lying, repeatedly, about the smallest issues. He said he wouldn’t ban the ElonJet account, and then he did: https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2022/dec/19/elon-musk/...

He banned journalists who reported on it, banned links to Mastodon, Substack, and Threads, changed the algorithm to boost his own content, slapped a warning label on NPR implying it was government funded and no more independent than the Global Times or Russia Today.

So you could be right and this might be a bug, but your implication that we should give Twitter the benefit of the doubt doesn’t hold up.
That is a beautiful standalone comment about human nature.
It's not really so simple as it might seem. For example: In this blockchain, how do you identify a property? Address? Lots of properties are listed that do not have an address. County parcel number? Also not ideal.

But, the real issue is that, as the system currently is, you need to have a license to list a property. Don't like it? You can do FSBO. But, basically nobody does, because the majority of buyers have a Realtor and are showing properties in the MLS.

Realtors should, ideally, provide value in the transaction. When I bought a house, for example, my agent provided tips on how to structure the offer that I'm confident allowed us to get the house we got. On the selling side, the should be providing marketing expertise, as well as negotiating the legal landmines. For example, if you were to list your own house and say "This room would make an ideal man-cave", you are opening yourself up to litigation under the Fair Housing laws (you cannot suggest who should live in your house).

Now, whether this is worth 5-8% of the sale price is another matter for discussion, but let's not forget that Realtors do provide some value.

(Not a Realtor, SysAdmin to an MLS)

Yea that is correct. There are tons of other bonds at varying yields and default risks. Check out Apple and Tesla bonds for comparison for example.
They can't retroactively take source code away from people who they already granted access to it under the MPL. The old code is still available under the MPL forever- even if they take down all of their own public copies of it, anyone with the old Terraform code is still free to upload their copy for the creation of a new fork. That's kinda the whole idea with these open-source licenses :)
Yup, very poor fps on Firefox Android, it's odd I don't think I've come across an issue like this before.
I worked for a very large telco.

Marketing were tasked with always increasing revenue, so they would often sit around with their feet on the table while they came up with such brilliant fees as "you downgraded your internet plan? Fee" & "You want more data on your cellphone plan? Fee."

It was sickening, but also very enlightening to realize it really was all made up.
POUM: Partit Obrer d'Unificació Marxista

Communists is now the word often used to label Marxists . . . You are entirely making my point for me that calling him a communist is incorrect - I am fairly sure he doesn't use the word "communist" towards himself - he writes about socialism and calls himself a socialist (another word that has been debased in the US).

The POUM and PSUC were on the same team to begin with - later they fought against each other - see link in my previous comment. Your comment doesn't fit what I have read from the book: I have read Homage to Catalonia multiple times. https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/george-orwell-homage... and here is a relevant section:

[He said] "Those are the Socialists" (meaning the P.S.U.C.), I was puzzled and said: "Aren’t we all Socialists?" I thought it idiotic that people fighting for their lives should have separate parties; my attitude always was, "Why can’t we drop all this political nonsense and get on with the war?" This of course was the correct ’anti-Fascist’ attitude which had been carefully disseminated by the English newspapers, largely in order to prevent people from grasping the real nature of the struggle. But in Spain, especially in Catalonia, it was an attitude that no one could or did keep up indefinitely. Everyone, however unwillingly, took sides sooner or later. For even if one cared nothing for the political parties and their conflicting ‘lines’, it was too obvious that one’s own destiny was involved. As a militiaman one was a soldier against Franco, but one was also a pawn in an enormous struggle that was being fought out between two political theories. When I scrounged for firewood on the mountainside and wondered whether this was really a war or whether the News Chronicle had made it up, when I dodged the Communist machine-guns in the Barcelona riots, when I finally fled from Spain with the police one jump behind me — all these things happened to me in that particular way because I was serving in the P.O.U.M. militia and not in the P.S.U.C. So great is the difference between two sets of initials!

Apparently I'm the dumbest person in the room and I haven't been told yet
Hello, I hope you are all well. I'm writing this somewhat frustrated, as I don't know exactly what I'm doing wrong.

I have been a software developer since 2018 and have been doing in backend development. I have 4 cloud certifications with near perfect scores. I am fluent in two languages, in addition to my native language, and have three bachelor's degrees (humanities and sciences). My cultural capital is above the norm. I've been successful in two of my previous jobs (not just normal kudos, but what I've done has made my former workplaces money, international clients, become cloud service provider partners, opened up to the public sector).

Now I work in a company where my bosses have been changed at least four times since I have worked here, and there is no consensus in the evaluations I have received, because some bosses are involved and others are not, as they know that they will soon be leaving for other teams and that leading us is transitory.

I do everything necessary to contribute: I help my colleagues, ask questions, take notes, talk to our end users, report to managers, show up whenever I am needed, keep our documentation up to date, discuss ideas, solutions. Everything. I've improved my productivity, my ability to focus, the way I do reviews, the way I deliver.

But it's been three years. No pay raises, no promotions.
The current boss says he is happy with me. I have asked for more money this year twice: January and July. A big NO. Boss says "sorry, not this month, I've tried everything, I don't understand what's going on, but keep it up xoxo". I don't know if he tried or not, but I'm sure he just doesn't want me to get mad at him, so he has this soft attitude towards my needs. Also, none of my coworkers (except for the most senior one) have had pay raises, or promotions. My coworkers say my work is very good and they are pleased to have me on the team.

So of course there must be something else.

I've even come to think that maybe I'm retarded, or have some kind of mental deficiency that doesn't allow me to thrive going forward. Maybe I just don't fit into the software world and should pursue something else. But at the same time, I've invested 5 years of my life into this, so I don't want to throw it away.

Besides, I'm not a smartass who says "everyone is an idiot but me".

There's a saying that if you're the smartest person in the room, you're in the wrong place. But what if maybe you're the dumbest person on the team?

I don't want to change jobs and find more money and promotions somewhere else. I want to master and overcome my current situation, otherwise I'll drag this problem into my next job.

What do you think?
You can browse bonds in Schwab and interactive Brokers for example.

Fwiw I am not saying to go and buy Barclays bonds, but merely exposing the fact that a market far larger than the stock market exists.

Edit: one thing worth pointing out is that there are also municipal bonds which are tax free if you live in the jurisdiction of the issuer.

> (conveniently ignoring all the differences that make it different)

If someone wants to bring up some of those differences by all means. The reason i am unconvinced is because nobody ever does.

> Another mistake is taking an aloof perspective. A lot of changes that "turned out OK" from that perspective were pretty terrible for the people who actually had to live through them.

Sure, i'd agree. But this is moving goal posts quite a bit. If the claim was simply that some industries might experience some levels of short term disruption due to an emerging technology like AI and it will probably suck for the individuals being disrupted - I don't think anybody would disagree. It also wouldn't make AI exactly unique - short term disruptions in various industries due to changing conditions happen all the time.

> When China's goal is to exceed our economy, shouldn't we work to prevent that?

If we’re out here trying to prevent them from growing because we are afraid of being eclipsed by them, then it makes sense that they would want to grow larger than us so they can prevent us from interfering with their growth. But consider this! We could collaborate with them so that their growth helps our growth. We could import educated students and factory materials from China to build up our economy. We could import high speed trains in addition to building our own so we can grow a clean transportation network while creating many railroad jobs.

You’re basically saying “they’re competing with us so it makes sense for us to compete back!” Yeah, or it makes sense to rewrite the rules and stop looking at this as competition.

> Why is it OK that China has virtually no IP enforcement?

I strongly believe that intellectual property restrictions are a net negative for the world so it’s actually great that China does this.
Are we confident that this preface was actually written by Orwell? Is there testimony from that time that he had written such a preface?

Because it seems to me that the propagandistic exploitative value of 'finding' and publishing a preface supposedly from Orwell would be very high and that this preface could well be a fraud.
