I thought it was funny that it comes off a little pretentious for someone to claim that their ego is now dead.
Fair point and I do pay for ad free browsing in a few sites. But consider

1. sites that don't have any other model. e.g. my favorite game news website is Gematsu, but holy heck is the ads crazy intrusive. On mobile we are talking full screen video ads that have a tiny X to remove... for maybe 1 minute. I've expressed interest multiple times to donate or otherwise do something to directly fund the site but nothing has come up. And even if I did move on to make a point, this model isn't something that has spread to many, if any, modern gaming news site (and I've long since left Reddit, a topic in and of itself). Do I just give up on gaming news and let clickbait Youtubers inform me instead of written articles?

2. Exploratory purposes. I'm not going to know which and what websites do or do not have ad support, and most of my browsing when searching is very casual. I wouldn't feel too compelled to neither turn off my ad block nor pay a sub for some place I googled up once 3 months ago for a quick answer. I don't quite have an answer for this one.

3. ublock isn't simply blocking ads. trackers, certain cookies, overly large media elements, java script, remote fonts, even individual pieces of HTML elements you specify in a CSS manner. It's so much more powerful and privacy-oriented than a simple ad blocker. If it closed off any site with any of these issues there simply wouldn't be an interet to browse.

It's a compromise at the end of the day, and I can only look out for myself at some point. I'm not necessarily trying to teach websites a lesson per se.

Most recursive resolvers allow you to set a maximum and minumum ttl to override the supplied TTL if outside your specified range.

E.g., on unbound, cache-max-ttl and cache-min-ttl
There are many features missing, more prone to anti-adblock/ads-reinsertion (problems with `redirect-rule` and unable to fast updates) and ads/trackers/popups can slip through if cannot be caught by regex filters.
Is Beekeeping Wrong?
My conviction goes like this:

1. Excel doesn't use rigid types so we can throw away all the rigid math stuff (this is where our perspectives diverge into non-sense)

2. Each Cell is a Monad

3. Each monad can be composed and reflect eachother better than any other programming language (more than Pipes like my original 1 | 2 | 3 example)
It's not only license plates. It's wildland firefighters protecting California mansions and assemblers of furniture to be sold at Walmart. China points this out as unethical labor practices, and they're exactly right.
Now what? FreeBSD and Nvidia? Dont threaten me with a good time. FreeBSD is so clean that i would love to build a sleek custom variant even if just for my own use, but i need graphics drivers. A “proper” nvidia driver would be amazing.

I switched to Podman on Windows, from Docker Desktop, and it was a bit rough 6mo ago but it’s fairly good now.
My understanding (not an expert) is that the time for a LLM to produce an output is linear in the length of the output, but may not be in the length of the input (i.e. context). It may be quadratic in the context, or using some kind of fancy attention optimization.
Some additional context is that Kris Nova, the author, recently passed away so this is somewhat poignant: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37199495

It's a decent filesharing program, but one thing I find annoying about Soulseek is how the biggest users engage in actual piracy, that is, "paypal me if you want access to my collection". It's a really gross thing to do. Thankfully most users on the platform don't do it, just a few assholes.

I wish soulseek-qt just let you hide all locked content from showing in the UI, so I'm not worrying about what I'm missing out on by not interacting with rude bitter assholes who want payment or trade.

Anyways, your link is a 404, the correct domain name is https://slsknet.org
Gotcha, sorry.
No, it won't work as well as uBO. Many features from uBO are missing in uBOL even in full mode, more prone to anti-adblock/ads-reinsertion (problems with `redirect-rule` and unable to fast updates) and ads/trackers/popups can slip through if cannot be caught by regex filters.
There are also a lot of different optimizations and their impact discussed in https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/7811590
>I guess the corollary that would follow from MY argument is that they should be permitted to block me from accessing their site if they see I'm not permitting ads

That's pretty much what Medium and many general news sites are doing. I haven't paid for one yet, but I can respect the move if it means they don't need to rely on clickbait to build a customer base.
Any search of the form "what other interesting commands did I need the last time I did <foobar>?" benefits from being able to see the historical context. Or if I know the particular incantation is one I wrote several times and is very similar to some others then it's easy to search the history for the blocks of popular commands. Or whatever. It's your terminal, but given how fuzzy the interconnects in a mind can be it's hard to know what info might be useful down the road.

To your point about computing power, I think it's only now that it's reasonable to not filter the duplicates. If I want to emulate the dedup behavior it's trivial nowadays to blindly read 1M lines of history and dedup on the fly each time. Using downstream tools doing duplicate filtering/transforming work is similarly very very fast. Disk is cheap enough that I really do want to keep every command I ever write in my history. More expensive compute and disk would make me more likely to turn that feature on, not less.
You're making it sound like landlords are doing god's work and renting is in your favor. That's just feudalism with extra steps.

Solar Shed mega hobbyist. Finally a HN topic I can contribute to.

I've spent last few years trying to build out my solar shed mainly to have auxilary power to charge weed whacker, leaf blower, power lights, power a camera, etc. Just basic 12v power.

The number one lesson is to 4x your power needs. 4x your watts and 4x your battery amp hours. Don't cheap out on charge controllers.

There's never enough sun light to fully charge your batteries and your panels are never at the right angle to maximize sunlight. Especially in less solar friendly areas like Michigan.

Lead acid is fine if you over compensate with panels. Lead acid will last longer in the cold than LiFEP04. Die hards will say you cant charge LiFEP04 in winter but I do. I accept the fact that my batteries will degrade faster. When you can build your own packs, its a lot easier to find which single set of cells went out and cheaper to replace. Its a risk I accept.

If you are starting out, get a 200 Ah/hr LiFEP04 battery and 400 watts solar. Its a very good starting point for 12v and gives room for expandability.

Avoid foldables. Avoid Harbor Freight. Avoid Jackery Solar Panels. You need Quality Panels.

Yeah, nah.

What's the point of this? If you think this pricing model is sustainable, why won't you just lower the Namecheap prices?

It feels like a bait. What service are you gonna launch after you jack up the prices to the moon on Spaceship? How about Submarine?

Also I already noticed deceptive pricing, ICANN fees are added in the checkout instead of being in the listed price the domain.
Nice handwriting and explanation. Thanks!
It'll cost several trillion dollars more to switch the US to nuclear electricity than it would to switch to renewable electricity. Those trillions of dollars could clean up a lot of waste if that is your primary concern.

[Disclaimer: I work at ClickHouse] I see a lot of the responses here focus on the age-old ‘build v. buy’ debate.

It’s also worth considering the comparative cost of Snowflake against other saas warehouses or databases, depending on your needs. For instance, we’ve heard from users that ClickHouse Cloud can be much more cost-effective for many use cases when compared to Snowflake - real-time analytics is a great example. For those who can’t build (or run OSS themselves), this is another interesting (and important) dimension. What's great about ClickHouse is that it's open source, too :).

The partisan split is interesting.

>> The 17-point partisan difference on nuclear power is smaller than those for other energy sources, including fossil fuel sources such as offshore oil and gas drilling (48 points) and coal mining (47 points).

I hope this means we can get the US government to continue to invest in nuclear. While it may not be the final step for human energy generation, it can be an effective stepping stone away from fossil fuels. My fear is the decreased reliance on coal and natural gas will cause unwanted political strife.

Although solar and wind are not at the capacity as nuclear is, it makes sense to continue to head in that direction. Consider this list, and how much coal is still in use.

If an unlicensed driver drives a car in Michigan, they remove its plate:

> Unless the vehicle was stolen or used with the permission of a person who did not knowingly permit an unlicensed driver to operate the vehicle, the registration plates of the vehicle shall be canceled by the secretary of state on notification by a peace officer.[1]

Similarly, this follows the car rather than the driver.

Thank you for the comment. That was the first time I have posted such a summary, and I wasn’t sure if I should or not.

This was my thinking: The linked article is long and paywalled, and the title is provocative and possibly misunderstood. Rather than people commenting based only on the title and their prior views on the issue, I thought it might help to provide an objective summary of the article. An AI’s summary is likely to be more objective than one written by a person interested in the issue (including me). Claude 2 is, as far as I know, the only publically accessible LLM that can summarize such long articles, and it is currently available only to people in the U.S. and U.K. or with VPNs. I therefore decided to post that summary myself in the hope that it would lead to a more constructive discussion. Such a discussion hasn’t emerged yet, but that doesn’t seem to be because of the summary.

In any case, there doesn’t seem to be consensus yet on whether AI summaries on HN are good or bad; my own AI summary has received both upvotes and downvotes. I'll drop a note to @dang and ask for his thoughts on the issue.
I find so much joy in hearing a song I love(d) but haven't heard in ages. Music that expires if I don't listen to it feels almost like disrespecting my past self. Sometimes my historical tastes were amazing; sometimes I'm glad I moved on; either way, I'm glad to have a record of those times and to revisit and reminisce. One can still be nostalgic about bad taste, and certainly for hits we've forgotten we've loved.
I don't think it's quite the same because ads don't care if you are "focusing on the ad". Well, they kinda do, but not by any useful metric (idling on a computer =/= engaging with the ad).

It's more equivalent to changing the channel during a commercial, which seems to be what the GP is implying as an action.
Observation: It seems like americans don't really care that much about electricity/energy production. If this post had been been up 12 hours earlier there would have been hundreds of comments by now.

I'm more familiar with commercial incentives but it does seem there is less incentive for residential customers:

The thing we really need is to just keep building plants. The problem nuclear power has faced is that since no industry which commonly exercises itself exists, the engineering experience and knowledge about how to run power plant construction projects hasn't matured - hence the cost overruns and delays.

Like the thing to do after the expense of the Vogtle project is to take the learned lessons there, and start working work on the next reactor (there were some really stupid things on that project too - i.e. commencing construction without finishing design work on the major components, which led to a lot of unnecessary rework).

Yes. (As in both: yes I agree with your way of getting to know a codebase, and yes you misunderstand what at least some people mean by "read code".) See the "Code Is Not Literature" 2014 blog post that was discussed here last week (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37134520), and the 2018 blog post that I linked to as concrete detail (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37138832). Quoting Seibel quoting Knuth:

> > I got a copy of the source-code listing for it. I didn’t have a manual for the machine, so I wasn’t even sure what the machine language was. […] It was just basically the way you solve some kind of an unknown puzzle—make tables and charts and get a little more information here and make a hypothesis. In general when I’m reading a technical paper, it’s the same challenge. I’m trying to get into the author’s mind, trying to figure out what the concept is. The more you learn to read other people’s stuff, the more able you are to invent your own in the future, it seems to me.

> He’s not describing reading literature; he’s describing a scientific investigation.

So when people like Knuth talk about “reading code”, or even reading papers or books!, they're already describing a process like what you described, not reading linearly.

Even for his “literate program” TeX, you can see (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5B7B2302476634D5 1:08:25 in session 4) that he recommends reading it that way:

> Start at the beginning, read some of these comments and familiarize yourself with use of the index, and then set yourself some problem or other. […] If you take any one of TeX’s primitives like “def” or something like that, you can look it up in the index under that name and it will say “def primitive” and it will refer you to the place where it was put in the hash table and that will refer you to what command code it has and you might be able to trace through looking at the index [the] whole history of def, how it comes through TeX. If you don’t like that problem, give yourself some other little task, saying “I wonder what this does” and that will just give you a reason for perusing the index and finding your way through the report… the main thing to do is just to get a little familiar with the notation and mess up the page—get the page a little black on the edges.
> Talk about having one foot in both pools.

I honestly don't get it either. Why does he even care about Russia at this point? They can't directly attack the satellites, as that would be an act of war against the United States and Russia isn't that stupid. They're heavily sanctioned and basically a dead market now that the Ruble has crashed. So there shouldn't be any business considerations.

Not to mention ITAR, which the entire constellation falls under.

I'm just dumbfounded why he gives them the time of day. Does he not know that he can ignore their emails or something?
Laser based mosquito killer machine. I remember seeing something about it once but cannot find it now. I think it would be awesome.
Congrats! I'm glad yall added plugins/extensions awhile back
You're right, there's no right-associativity actually involved, but the article probably used the term because the code kinda looks right-associative if you squint. The point is that the rightmost >>= is evaluated first, which lets the y lambda capture x. The article put the parens like this:

test3 = [1, 2] >>= (\x -> [x, 10*x] >>= \y -> [x*y])

which to a non-Haskeller like me does make it look more right-associative than it actually is – and as the article showed, you can actually make it "left-associative" in the obvious way, which would indeed compile fine and be equivalent to the "right-associative" way if the y lambda didn't refer to x.

test3 = ([1, 2] >>= \x -> [x, 10*x]) >>= \y -> [x*y]

Ask HN: Does anyone work at Xfinity? The Apple TV app has been broken since Jan

No.

The ethical principles written clearly by World Wide Web Consortium are for users, NOT for websites:

> 2.12 People should be able to render web content as they want

> People must be able to change web pages according to their needs. For example, people should be able to install style sheets, assistive browser extensions, and blockers of unwanted content or scripts or auto-played videos.

By the time the extension knows if there's ads or nots, the trackers/fingerprinting connections are already loaded to users' machines.

Yeah, it feels like most of social media is now shit-flinging and calling the "outside group" stupid so one can feel "At least I'm not a stupid horrible person like that idiot!".

I notice on Instagram you can "like" comments but not dislike them, to disagree with someone you have to put in more effort and type a rebuttal. This "oh we prefer positivity" behavior also means reinforcement of ignorant behavior, by the many likes people see that they get for their hateful comments.
It's a short time difference, but I wonder how much of it can be attributed to a shift in the generation being interviewed, since I'd imagine that younger people are more in favor of nuclear power than older people who might still have qualms associated with disasters they might've seen reporting on (regardless of how rational those concerns might be).

It really depends on what you mean by ease of use. It's about as hard as Gentoo to pick up, but it is the easiest one to maintain imo.

Looks wise, they're all the same (bar mint) since they all use stock GNOME and KDE.

Ecosystem, as in the specific tools available to make things a turnkey experience, I'd say NixOS takes care of you really well and is on par with arch and Debian.

All three of the above will vary with individual experience though.
