How is it persevered if its not distributed? This is already the issue, time and time again the copyright holders in charge of the preservation consider sub-quality or incomplete versions to be "preserved" and its up to passionate individuals to cobble together a definitive, full quality, complete version.

With streaming being so dominant we need relaxed rules on this more than ever and the amount of people copying media instead of streaming it is such a tiny minority the claim its affective the bottom line is ridiculous.

You're looking at the very rare long distance journeys. People don't travel from Paris to Marseille (400 miles) any more than people travel from Washington to Boston (400 miles). They typically would travel from Paris to Athens by jumping on a plane, just like you'd get a plane from New York to Houston (about the same distance)

Compare public transport in the Berlin metro area (6 million, 500 per square mile) with the bay area (7 million, 1100 per square mile), or the Rhine-Main region (5 million, 1000 per square mile)
Why is another web framework notable?

I’m unhappy to see HN become a place where people just promote their projects, but it’s good if those projects are technical and novel. Another web framework isn’t, especially when the homepage clearly aims at the purchasing department, offers no technical details and the framework itself is built by people who don’t know how CPU cache works, but still like talking about “performance”.

In two weeks nobody will remember this exists and everyone will fawn over the next web framework. When that happens, can we please not have it on the front page again?
> (The weakness of this study is we didn't follow up with people. We only knew if our candidates got hired, not how well they did after they were in the door, as employees. So we might have just been mirroring the same biases the companies themselves have in their hiring processes.)

This is some weakness. Surely this is the outcome that's interesting.

I also suspect there's likely a correlation between how hard someone is trying to get hired and the freshness of their CS skills.

Chances are a motivated candidate will have been brushing up on CS because it's such a trope to be grilled on those types of questions; that same candidate likely prepared for other interview questions as well and I would indeed expect that to increase the odds of getting hired.

Since nobody walks around with perfect recall of the types of algorithms that crop up in the classic tech interview, it's fairly safe to assume the CS part of the interview is a direct measure of how much preparation the interviewee has done.
I think most of the issues are more social than technical. A lot of people feel that flakes were pushed through to serve the needs of their corporate sponsor (target) without adequate time spent responding to community feedback. There is (was?) also some opposition to the way that they were designed to break up the nixpkgs monorepo.
Is it tho? It's only understandable to me if I also read the subtitles. Otherwise it just sounds as random noise.
No, professional satire by definition doesn't count. In interviews they often tell you their real opinions or how they construct their character. I guess if they always stayed in character and never gave any interviews you could make a case...

You're begging the question re: trolling. You don't know they are trolls; you merely believe so. In fact, there's no way to tell real opinion from flamebait with the people under discussion. That's the whole point: if they always act like fools, they are fools.
Why even have trees? They seem outdated. /s
The 8080 was brought to market in April 1974 and it’s not unrealistic to assume that preliminary information on instruction encodings etc. was available earlier.

The 8008 would have been available already, but it was not binary compatible. However, an assembly translator was available (similar to the latter one translating 8080 asm to 8086).

So the question is if Allen wrote a binary emulator or perhaps something that interpreted asm source code? Maybe the emulator code is still hiding somewhere in the Microsoft archives… :)
Wait, so the conclusion the study came to was... people that do well in the interview process tend to get hired?

In my experience interview processes act like a series of stage gates, you have to pass each and every one to get hired. It seems trivial to say the doing well in each activity is predictive of success when you need to do well in everything to be successful.

I don't mean to be mean, but that study sounds like a giant missed opportunity to do something useful. Knowing what interview activities are actually predictive of being good in a job is the holy grail.
It wasn't that unusual. Microcomputers of the day were very limited, especially lacking memory. 4k RAM was considered to be a luxury. So many folks cross-developed using minicomputers. At my Uni, we often developed our tools on PDP-11 computers, especially using RSTS and BASIC, punched paper tape which could be read by hand fed paper tape readers. If you were lucky you had a ASR-33 terminal attached to your microcomputer or had a simple video card connected to a TV and a kludged up keyboard.

Development systems from Intel were almost as expensive as a cheap minicomputer.
I come from former USSR as well. Let me tell you, Americans(Mississippians or not) are definitely more civilized than Europeans. Partly it has to do with religiosity and gun ownership. More Americans behave themselves for fear of Jesus' disapproval and/or bullets flying all over the place.

I saw some archive footage of him speaking recently and I loved that he kept his blue collar (to my British ears) Brooklyn accent.
Is it? I don't see anything in this article establishing it. It may be true, but it would be nice to have a proof of it at least.
Yes. It seemed to me the GP's comment implied that those "rapper millionaires" and Billie Eilesh just made it big without having to pay those costs (or at least, not to the same degree). My point was a counterargument.
Great article. I was recently wondering why are vector databases useful at all. There are cases (LLMs) where they are useful. But apart from that, most of the cases I have encountered, requires indexing on different data types than vector. I might be biased due to my experience but in a very typical use cases e.g. analyzing event streams or building recommendation engine you want to filter rows by timestamp and client id or product category and availability. Vector index is not that useful in those cases.

That's why I think that outside some very specific use cases vector databases are not very useful.

It needs to be stressed ASTRO is firstly an SSG (Static Site Generator) and MPA (Multi Page Application) instead of an SPA (Single Page Application) focused.

With that said, from my experience with ASTRO is very similar to say vue or svelte in how you structure the code and template which I've come to like a lot more than jsx.

The biggest negative are more that if you do use other front-end library, you end up with two layers of where bugs can appear (astro + front end).

Also getting custom library express reliant stuff was a non starter for me at least.
For me the weirdest detail in the story was the casual mention of the two makeshift hammocks that were already rigged up when they arrived. How many people have tried this before, and what happened to the last people who tried?

As far as I can remember, the Altair used an Intel 8080A processor. The Intel 8008 wasn't widely used by hobbyists. I don't recall any CPU with 8800 designation from that era. Possibly RCA or TI, but neither were used by Altair.

The Motorola 6800 and Mostek 6502 soon became more popular because they were easier to interface than the Intel 8080A. The Zilog Z80 came out a couple of years later.

The big "if" in quantum computing is in our ability to engineer error correction and fault tolerance. Implementing fault tolerance requires a physical qubit overhead of 10-10,000 qubits per logical qubit, depending on the technology, base error rate and whose analysis you look at.

It's not entirely accurate to say nobody knows how to do this. The theory of quantum error-correction has been rigorously developed since the 1990s, and experimental implementations have shown that improved fidelity is possible with known error-correction schemes. I think we'll know definitively within the next 3-5 years how hard it will be to engineer fault tolerance, and workable solutions will emerge from those findings.
From the article:
Grimmer’s paper focused only on smooth functions, which have no sharp kinks, and convex functions, which are shaped like a bowl and only have one optimal value at the bottom.
Hits the bulls eyes. That's why it's important to keep your mind always open and question everything. But how much you can question is also limited by cognitive limits we have as humans. SO the only thing you can actually trust is your own direct experience. I have found many books to be useless just because of this reason.

You’re right. Thank you. I was misled by Altair 8800!

Intel did originally call their iAPX CPU the 8800, but that’s almost got to be an unrelated coincidence because the Altair 8800 was launched in late 1974, but the iAPX’s development didn’t begin at Intel until 1975. The iAPX is also an utterly diverse architecture and instruction set that Intel abandoned later, and they continued with the x86 line.

My guess is that Slack for instance would never make a full blown native client for macos. If it wasn't electron, they'd probably have gone with Mono or another cross platform stack, and we'd see performance lag and memory bloat compared to a handcrafted native app.

I say that looking at macos' pretty big market share compared to what it was a decade or two ago.

And we see tons of users choosing VSCode or IntelliJ's offering above Textmate, Codea, or even BBEdit, so the market for handcrafted delightful editors is also pretty slim. And that trend was there since the Eclipse days, so nothing new either.

All in all, I really think the choice comes down to electron/cross compiled apps or no apps, in many many cases.
No it doesn't, false dichotomy. Addiction can coexist with socialising, see pubs for evidence of that. Also, the instincts that drive us to be sociable may also make aspects of social networks enticing. In the same way that desire for sex drives porn use. We can not always tell the difference between artificial experience and real.

insiders knowing about stuff like this.

i have heard you can't get big in hollywood/bollywood if you don't exchange sexual favors. that's why they all protect rapists, sexual assaulters, etc...

there's a reason those who complain about sexual assaults, rape, etc... have their careers finished rather than the opposite.

like epstein's connections are not known bcz they are all in on it. everyone has skeletons in the closet. i mean it wouldn't be hard to get away with murder/rape if someone were rich. sounds like sci-fi but i find it real after hearing those dubai stories.

this is just one example. 3 examples op listed were also terrific.

one such case is recent. someone who is a recent graduate got a job through connections (nepotism?) & makes a lot of salary than others working the same position while doing little to no work. this is a personal experience of someone close.

then there's black hat tactics startups use that they can't admit to. like airbnb using #1 hacker. or someone using leaked databases to find emails. i saw a recent startup that matched twitter accounts with emails when twitter database got leaked. i'm sure that person is telling people some other story on how he got emails.

once you look at it, you'll find a lot of carrot problems in life. the reason why i posted it last night as soon as i found it.

All information isn't created equal. It doesn't actually matter if some people believe a photo of the Pope wearing a Balenciaga puffer jacket is real.

When it does matter, disinformation so far doesn't seem to work. It's very likely Russia is trying to disseminate fake news of all sorts about the war in Ukraine, but even the label it came up with ("special military operation") never caught up, except as a joke.

A different but related problem is conspiracies. But most often they're not caused by people trusting sources they shouldn't, but by the opposite: people not trusting reliable sources.

It was Cardinal de Retz, a French political schemer and memoirist, who said: "On est plus souvent dupé par la défiance que par la confiance" -- One is more often fooled by mistrust than by trust.

Contrary to what the article seems to be saying (not sure about that, as it's far from clear), I would think excess of caution is more problematic that misplaced trust.
It's called compassion.

Baiting people to risk their lives on idiotic trips for a chance to become a welfare recipient is the standard migration policy of most western/western aligned countries.

Much more prominent on the Mediterranean though. Governments set up schemes where everyone who manages to enter the country gets free money/housing/food, but, after having invited billions of people in that way, set up no actual routes to enter their countries. Leaving the creation of the routes to human trafficers and NGOs for extremely dangerous trips across the Mediterranean.

It's unfortunate that "conspiracy theory" has taken on an indisputably negative connotation now. Conspiracies do occur, theories about them form. More often, people and entities behave in concert without conspiring per se, and this could be because of aligned goals or beliefs, or simply regulations that cause corporations to do the same sort of thing, especially when they keep an eye on one another.

For example, is "market rent" a conspiracy? Is it price-fixing or collusion? Hey, I just caught you making a theory!

I think the main bad thing about conspiracy theories (and other theories that may belong to crackpots and crazies) is that the facts mostly can't be known. If in fact there are conspiracies, nobody who's involved will speak openly and truthfully about them, so I guess just follow the money.

Or don't. Why not concern yourself with living your life, enjoying your family and friends, being a good neighbor, having some recreation time outdoors and stuff. All of these things are known cures for the "cluster of psychological features" that may trouble you.

On average, there's a lot more trust than in the past.

1- Tribalism has been steadily declining. In the past, people tended to assume the worst (because of a more hostile environment).
2- Registries, ratings, scores, and other records are widespread, available, and (by and large) trustworthy. Certifications and other credentials make it easier to evaluate competence. We are much more likely to "trust" people these days.
3- People believed in metaphysical phenomena. Trust in reality has never been higher IMHO. The level of education is rising. Half of the population was emancipated quite recently.
4- Tech-enabled trustless consensus is not something you can just dismiss. It's a recent concept. It may have profound implications.
5- Societies have gotten more resilient. The standards of living keep going up. Trust thrives in wealthy communities.

There's no trust crisis. In absolute terms, there are more scams and disinformation attempts than before (because the world gets more complex). But proportionally speaking, I don't think trust is at its lowest. The examples and stats in the article are only valid when adopting a narrow view.

I have long had an idea that the best way to handle this is a community supported prioritization service.

In other words, a community (hacker news, some subreddit, or perhaps an independent site) would invite people to post problems that ought to be easily solved by customer support except that the company is failing at customer support. Because problems tend to repeat themselves, the people who spend time on this forum would be able to identify (and sometimes provide workarounds for) the majority of cases -- all at no cost to the company that was failing at customer support.

The remaining cases could be ranked by the community according to how egregious they were. Then the company that was failing at customer support could assign a tiny amount of actual attention to look at just the top few issues sorted by the community.
