It is stupid easy for governments to control centralized private platforms. Just pass a law. The problem is that Twitter has trouble adhering to the most basic requirements while also running cheap, e.g., preventing CSAM content.
A gotcha that hits me here is that, by using a pressure tank, you will likely run into a cleaning/humidity problem. You need that air to be flawlessly clean and the act of pressurizing and depressurizing the tank would make that difficult.
Additionally, you need to pressurize near-boiling water as well so you'll need a boiler/water mixing tank. Finally, the temperature of the actual brewing environment is important, otherwise the outer edges will be lesser extracted.

On the other hand, a Flair Neo works fine
The example really doesn't sell it to me. The search "what is the most common element on the periodic table" currently returns a big display with "Hydrogen" as the answer, followed by a brief explanation.

That's all I need for such a query. In comparison any text written by a "generative AI" is mostly noise.
The data are skewed by the lazy (low conscientiousness) people who tend to both, a) never go to college, b) never get a job.

I’d be wary of generalizing based on skewed data like that. Control for conscientiousness (big five) or don’t bother because you’re just proving that the lazybones don’t want to work hard.
>> A global platform is too difficult for governments to control

How is that? I claim the opposite. It's far easier to control onr entity instead of multiple separated ones.
As a long-time enjoyer and early promoter of social media, I disagree with your translation.

The real problem is that either due to algorithms or some inherent quirk of human nature, global public social media has become awful. Let me characterize the awfulness with a joke that showcases the vibe shift.

You tweet/post: “I love sandwiches”

2009 twitter: “Omg I too love sandwiches! Let’s be friends, follow me back”

2023 twitter: “How dare you speak against my brethren who cannot eat gluten!?!? You are an awful human being and I hope you rot in hell.”
What was TSX? I don't remember that one.
Mastermind intrigued me in the same way as the author some time ago, and I've used it as a standard problem when trying out new computational frameworks/methods ever since.

Here is my Rust version with multi-threading, SIMD, WASM running on your device inside a WebApp: https://0xbe7a.github.io/mastermind/

Repo: https://github.com/0xbe7a/mastermind

It is quite fast (1.8 Billion position pairs evaluated in 1652ms on my device) and can also exploit some symmetries inside the solution space.
It baffles me that Amazon doesn't use their shopper's data more effectively. They could have gone with a weighted average, accounting for number of reviews, consistency of scores, etc. of the shopper in question.

Instead, they want to highlight the most deceptive side of the scores, i.e. 5-star ones.

Kinda feels like they don't want to end fake reviews, but prop them.
It’s coming from the same crowd as the anti crypto people, ie. we need KYC and transaction tracking to prevent fraud and terrorist funding! But we might as well use those facilities to go after privacy coins and arrest people for trading derivatives with their own money. It’s a classic case of “we’re here to help, please don’t resist”.
Hi there. All image processing/code decoding is done on-device. An internet connection is required for the initial license check and for usage tracking (see https://strich.io/faq.html#faqDataTypes for details) in the Basic and Professional tiers.

Correct, the enterprise license offers completely offline operation (= zero HTTP requests) as this is something often required for compliance reasons, and can be useful for PWA use cases and no-reception like basements.

Ah yes, the old "I have nothing to hide, so they can look at anything they want". There's no way you've properly thought about what you are saying.
`boot.kernelParams = [ "mitigations=off" ];`

Have there been actual JS-based attacks on users seen in the wild? I feel conflicted about this. I'm very stubborn about enabling 2FA everywhere possible, but I just can't convince myself I need to have these mitigations enabled on my laptop. I do leave the mitigations turned on for my "servers".

You've said it "improved" and "gotten better" without naming a single concrete thing that's better than before?

Here, I'll name three that have gotten noticeably worse:

1. Under any viral tweet I have to scroll through the sea of Twitter Blue subscribers with >1000 followers to reach some sane reply (as in not a one word reply, @reply_to_this_ai_bot, @save_to_this_random_tool, a crylaugh emoji).

2. Monetization depends on impressions, incentivizing ragebait that other people will "dunk on". Correcting someone gives money to the person you're correcting, which is insane to say the least.

3. API is dead, but bots are literally everywhere. And they're the stupidest kind of bots on top of that. "Contact @soandso on Insta and he'll get your account back", there's a shitcoin trending literally every day, and so on.
Learn languages by listening to podcasts using subtitles and audio transcripts.
> So the tide turned toward having a single mid-level IR (and sometimes a single high-level IR for things like specific loop optimizations that was then lowered to that mid-level IR).

You realize this is only feasible if you have one team working on a compiler for one domain right? Eg Rust's MIR is probably a good target for a systems language like rust but a bad target for a SQL like language.

>phase ordering fairly early on and writing separate lowering steps to convert between dialects.

I don't see how a single IR solves the phase ordering problem? LLVM IR is a single IR (not talking about backends) and yet you still have phase ordering problems.
you forgot to include tobacco and alcohol in that list...

Is there a way to check your drives to see if they are at risk of being in bad batches? I get disk errors on boot regularly enough that it bothers me
More like they are not thinking of GCHQ
Doesn't seem to apply to this law. IANAL but after a quick check of the proposed law text, it is directly referencing French laws about scamming, and only allows the blocking procedure if the government agency finds these sites to be in violation of those laws.

Once again I have not fully checked this as the text is very long.
>the Mullvad Browser applies a "hide-in-the-crowd" approach to online privacy by creating a similar fingerprint for all of its users. The browser's 'out-of-the-box' configurations and settings will mask many parameters and features commonly used to extract information from a person's device that can make them identifiable, including fonts, rendered content, and several hardware APIs.

What does masking specifically mean? Is it returning pre-canned responses to those queries that match non mullvad browser users. Because otherwise the absence of these APIs basically fingerprints the user to the Mullvad Browser which, realistically, will always be a small fraction of total browser sessions.
The only thing it seems that CAPTCHAs are good for these days is to discriminate against VPN users. There are several sites (including govt) that put me in an endless CAPTCHA loop.
You can also quickly stop the raw egg, and it'll start turning again (unlike the hard-boiled one).
For me, the issue is that I don't want to subscribe to the NYT because I never explicitly go to the NYT. If I'm linked to an article there, I'll read it, but subscribing on the off chance that I'm linked to an article there isn't a good reason.

If there were a way to give two cents for each article I read, I'd do that, but there isn't.

The Martian was a fun, hard science fiction book, but I never really liked its characters. They were too silly and one-dimensional.

But Project Hail Mary is a lovely story. And the twist half way through! Such a wonderful, happy reading.
Most comments here are completely missing the point: remote learning during the pandemic era was worse than useless. As a result, the pandemic era created a HUGE bifurcation in the student population between autodidacts and non-autodidacts.

You can see this in high school test scores, in placement exams, in Freshman college performance, and even in new grad hire cohorts.

The autodidact set has realized that they can teach themselves a lot of what they would've learned in coursework at colleges. There are still some elite career pathways where formal education is necessary, but an autodidact who doesn't want to follow one of those career pathways now knows that they can go without.

American colleges provide a useful-if-overpriced service to non-autodidacts, but their product is not ready to deal with students who are YEARS behind in their formal education.
Michael Goldharber said it best - people have limited attention to give anything, but unlimited capacity to receive attention. Exploitation of that inequality keeps the Attention Economy afloat.

Its also why HN stays afloat, even though the architecture ensures the amount of content consumed is a small insignificant fraction of the content produced.

Ideally we track content consumed/content produced gives us a ratio of the information waste an architecture is producing. And all these architectures are producing a whole lot of waste.

You might be interested in ETFuel's strategy.

"Making shipping fuel with off-grid renewables" [2023-06-28] https://www.volts.wtf/p/making-shipping-fuel-with-off-grid#d...

TDLR: Combo of solar and wind for power, CO2 from industrial sources, create fuels (methane, methanol, amnonia). Use pipes or trucks as needed.

ETFuels' "secret sauce" is integration and creating fuels. They'll use best available option for electricity and CO2. They'll build where it makes most sense to optimize opex.

In the future, once direct-air capture becomes cost competitive, no problem.

Also, I'm certain they'll also adopt advanced geothermal, in combination with solar and wind, to solve their electricity problems as well as greatly expand where they can feasibly deploy.
I haven't looked at an auto generated migration in years. So no.
Properly marking a construction zone isn't a change in practice - it's already required. But that doesn't mean it was done properly in this case.

If a construction zone is unmarked, human drivers are more likely to drive into it as well.

Anyway, AI cars should be smart enough to "see" a potential unmarked construction zone, just as most humans can. I'm only saying construction zones should be marked explicitly for the safety of all involved.

I've walked over wet concrete. It wasn't really signed very clearly (there were some cones on the corners, but that doesn't automatically mean "wet concrete"), it's really not that obvious unless you're looking for it, and I was late and in a hurry.

Looking at those pictures, I think loads of people could have made that mistake for quite a few of them, as it often doesn't seem indicated very clearly, and in some situations going through the wet concrete was the only way the car could go from a parked position.
We can see this so clearly on reddit.

They have eliminated 100% of conservative voices from the platform, as a result it's become a haven for leftist extremists who now openly and repeatedly advocate for moving 'beyond electoralism,' the meaning of which is well understood.
Indeed.

> The Franco-Swiss border runs through the CERN campus and building 31 is literally just a few feet into France. However, there is no explicit border within CERN and the main entrance is in Switzerland, so the situation of which country it was invented in is actually quite a tricky one. The current commemorative plaque, which is outside a row of offices where people other than Tim Berners-Lee worked on the web, is in Switzerland. To add to the confusion, in case Tim thought of the web at home, his home was in France but he temporarily moved to rented accommodation in Switzerland, just around the time the web was developed.

>> the sun has on several occasions, about once every millennium and a half or so it appears, sent flares in our direction with enough energy to make measurably more carbon-14.

How strong were these in relation to the Carrington Event? If these occur roughly every 1.5 millenia, how 'rough' is that repetition? We're at almost 1.25 millenia today, and our technology is massively vulnerable to a Carrington level event...

I’ll check out the book but while I wait for shipping, could you share what you do with the RO water? Do you put your own mineral and salt profile into it, or just use it as pure H2O?

At home I use a Bialetti Venus (moka pot), which makes a pseudo-espresso (longer, with poor crema). Nonetheless I prize this and look forward to it each day. It's about $40.
No, it’s not.

As for on-topic - HN starts talking about Kotlin and Swift and pretty soon it’s discussing relatively theory and Madam Curie and what not on the same thread. And no, that’s not better and that’s not on-topic unless HN tries to define its own “on-topic” and it’s own “better” and then applies it to Reddit.

> Define 'better'

No, I won’t. Because yours would ne different from mine.
Lol... Doesn't make any sense

Scientists are on average a little left-leaning but science denialism, somehow, is something that crops up in both far-left and far-right spaces (just not equally). If you were in a leftist bubble, you’d have been seeing science denialism for a while now. Far-left science denialism starts with the “only use natural products, chemicals are bad for you, vaccines are bad for you” crunchy lifestyle accounts.

Sometimes I think the political spectrum is more of an S1 topology.
Sure, we can all agree that this narrow use is in the interest of the public.

Emphasis on narrow.

It’s completely unreasonable to have a broad scope direct communication channel between the government and my browser or OS.
They already show heavily curated content, with a conscious and intentional bias into presenting, for example, groups in a light that doesn’t match reality.

You won’t find info about any merely “controversial” idea on Google, it’s all censored, it’s all disinformation already. Try even finding memes, you generally won’t find them. Try finding info that doesn’t paint some politicians in a good light, you won’t find it, even though it exists with the exact keywords you type in and the crawler returns a success for that page.

So what do you mean, while you already trust Google to give its bias to the current world?
Seems like that's the direction things are moving. Google's becoming heavily enshitified.
Obviously there will be a satellite that will zoom at your gps location, you have to do a special dance and your humanity will be verified by motion detection, obviously robots eventually will be able to do this and dance better than humans as well as wear fake skin but that's a problem for another generation.
Can't we fill the Sahara with solar panels? If transmission lines are problematic hydrogen or methane could be used to transfer the energy to where it needs to be used.

This of course has a lot of political implications, but if we wanted to do it we could.

Looks cool. With it being in "private alpha", if I drop it in a Slack for an open source project with which I am involved, and the maintainer/leader wants to try it, will he be able to sign up?
90% is easier in North America where I'm based due to our large grids. But you've already implemented part of the solution to get to 90% -- bidirectional HVDC grids with Norway. Sell cheap wind power when you can and buy hydro when you can't.

But even if you can't easily get to 90% why not celebrate the fact that 75% is easy. Sure the last 25% is hard, but 75% good news and 25% bad news is not what I see in the news articles.

Oh, I meant formalization as in, this is clearly not either a turing machine or a lambda calculus, but as it appears turing-complete, it must be equivalent, and could benefit from formalization in that computer-science/mathematical sense. Then we outsiders would be able to see what we're looking at.
There certainly are aspects that could be better, but renaming is not one of them.

The default behavior on Windows File Explorer is actually a bad UX decision imo. You click a file and you might accidentally rename the file in the process. Please don't attach too much (hidden) behavior. Sure I got used to it in Windows, but it's surely not the best way to rename files. It should be explicit and if you do it often, you can use the shortcut (that is just F2 usually).
How is Cal Newport fascist? I have always known him as the "deep work"/how to focus guy.
we have dozens and dozens of AA batteries here, like everyone else. and your suggestion "why aren't you using rechargables" is compelling, buying a ton of these and just having them in a charger seems like a good idea. So what are the little things in my mind making me hesitate?

1. how long they will continue to remain rechargable; and if they begin to hold less and less of a charge. if they are still recharging fine for you after 8 years, that seems pretty good.

2. what happens if the rechargable battery is left inside a forgotten toy or device for 7 years? if I find it 7 years later, is it a leaky mess or still viable? this is a big reason "AA's are disposable anyway, who cares" is appealing - we have forgotten batteries all the time. if we forget about a toy and our $3.50/each batteries are ruined we could be buying a lot of these pricey batteries

3. how long do they last on a full charge? if use them for camp lights are we going to run out of light after a day ?
Most hydrogen is produced deliberately by steam methane reforming (SMR). Some 6% of world natural gas demand is making hydrogen. The primary use is for synthesis of ammonia (with hydrodesulfurization of petroleum also important.)
Yeah, but doesn't mean the costs should be astronomical. Many other countries manage to provide college education financed by taxes or reasonable fees. Colleges should focus on educating at an affordable rate, and not charging tens of thousands of dollars to babysit students.
I have really liked dart, and started playing with it when it came out. I just wish I could use it more. Unfortunately it and its tools are so opinionated its kind of hard to use outside of the specific cases they have dreamed of. I really wish there were opt outs, even if it broke things that would be worth it.

I'm not sure of the correct scientific language here.

As far as I'm aware this is a brittle /inflexible material so my point about the mechanical properties still stands.

And when people refer to growing crystals, that generally refers to a particular kind of crystal. Ive never heard of anyone growing aluminium crystals, except if it's a compound, and then you get a crystal like we think of when we say crystals.

Some of them! Some S-100 stuff is definitely cheese grade construction. We end up repairing a fair number of Altair 8800s of various models for hobbyists and collectors, and they are...not well-designed systems. It's pretty amazing how well S-100 progressed from the initial MITS design, given how slapdash it was.
