Without being an astrophysicist I think critique of this paper is impossible. So I ask any astrophysicists here, to explain why this is not an observer-effect, or a consequence of the extreme time and distance the signal has gone through, if you like a time effect analogous to red shift.

Anything about observations made at this distance in both space and time has me think it should always be "in rats"
Starlink latency is still too high, and goodput is too low, especially as they oversubscribe their service. This will help a bit, but it’s no panacea for Starlink’s woes.
So what other ruling did the Epic judge not ignore or ignore? I don’t care about Apple being a monopoly or not in the context of this conversation. I am trying to establish judges ignoring precedence.

There are many solid seeming ones that don't show those signs: Elixir, TypeScript, Clojure, C++, Kotlin etc. I think enumerating short lived languages is not representative since programming languages generally have very high share of short-lived/abandoned ones.

But it's not necessarily a "don't go there" sign that there's a shorter average lifespan. System languages can't really go away unless the whole platform can and are doomed to be a bit clunky. Picking a language from the category that might only have a 15-year heyday is fine for a lot of apps if it's otherwise better than the system language.
It's a consequence of illegal immigration, and people encouraging it. Physically presenting ID may be a countermeasure against fraud, so perhaps that's why they are bringing it back?
It could be an attempt at entrapment by a hostile foreign power attempting to get blackmail material on western engineers by tricking people into accidentally viewing CSAM, and then leveraging that to try to turn western engineers into unwilling foreign agents by blackmailing them with the threat of turning them in to law enforcement and/or ruining their marriage. I know this sounds like a conspiracy theory but this is an anonymous site, which is free to use, targeted at English-speaking engineers, which generates extremely sketchy content. Some of the comments in this thread make it pretty clear that this site generates CSAM some percentage of the time. If you use the site you are rolling the dice and might become guilty of a crime, putting yourself in a position to be a pawn of a N Korean or other foreign country's intelligence agency.

Edit: If you get contacted by a foreign intelligence agency attempting to blackmail you, please report them to https://www.inscom.army.mil/isalute/ and also to 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324).
Thanks for the feedback regarding the Readme. We have some additional detail in the docs here https://dataherald.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html (including an architecture doc), but will definitely be incorporating some of the feedback as we iterate on the documentation which.

You can connect the hosted version to your data warehouse using the SQLAlchemy connectors which are in the open source engine, and the connection info will be stored after being encrypted. An on-prem version of the enterprise product is also on the roadmap.

For protecting against errors the approach is to allow for a human to be in the loop as you alluded to. One of the core pieces of the engine is the Evaluation module which combines white box and black box techniques. You can block the response from going back to the question asker if the confidence level is below a certain threshold until a human verifies the response manually (or always put the human from the data team in the loop).

I dont agree, many others consider what she did no different than a ponzi scheme. It's not just me and the patent commenter:

"Holmes duped just about everyone about the efficacy of Edison. For 12 years, she essentially ran a Ponzi scheme by attracting millions of dollars from primarily venture capitalists that saw it as a unique opportunity to cash in on the boom in Silicon Valley."

https://www.ethicssage.com/2022/01/fake-it-until-you-make-it...

I would appreciate, for my own edification, what specific things you believe are different between what Ms Holmes did and what Maydoff or Ponzi did. I'm genuinely curious.

I find it utterly insufferable. I, a very technically capable person, really struggle with using Discord. I can’t help but feel that people that misuse Discord in this way are doing it from a place from extreme ignorance and hubris. It is so blatantly not intended or appropriate for what a bunch of people use it for. The only thing it has going for it is that the person setting up the community knows how to use it. It is utterly inscrutable from the perspective of an outsider, trying to look past all the stuff that is at the very least using gamer jargon, if not functionally built explicitly for gamers in a way that is not useful for others.

REALLY cynically, I think that Discord has a feature set that the admin / moderator / power user functionality of Discord gets a particular sort of controlling “community manager” very excited. They can have their bots and username colours and whatever else set up just the way they like them, usually in a way that people don’t really care about. A means of a power-seeker to tinker around with community dynamics in a way that is far from having an in-person analogue.
How so? I'm genuinely curious,
what are the specific distinctions? Many others consider it so:

"Holmes duped just about everyone about the efficacy of Edison. For 12 years, she essentially ran a Ponzi scheme by attracting millions of dollars from primarily venture capitalists that saw it as a unique opportunity to cash in on the boom in Silicon Valley."

The Gartner hype cycle is way overhyped, and we are now in the trough of disillusionment regarding it. I dobt we'll climb out.
It's not really possible to use Twitter without at least a little bit of doomscrolling, and that activity took a toll on me emotionally.

Doomscrolling or doomsurfing is the act of spending an excessive amount of time reading large quantities of negative news online.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doomscrolling

I don't think I do this -- at least not anymore. Tweets are short. If you don't want to click into the horrifying article linked or whatever, you don't have to.

You may not be able to use the platform formerly known as Twitter without scrolling through a fair number of Tweets with negative framing, but it's a bit like seeing a bunch of negative titles and you can just go "Well, not my cup of tea. Not going down that rabbit hole."

It's maybe something I did when I didn't feel well and couldn't focus or whatever. It's low-hanging fruit when I have no energy nor attention span. But even with that, I've gotten better over time at recognizing when I feel awful and I'm inclined to do stupid stuff online and instead of wallowing in the mire, I try to play games that are "my speed" for such times, "productively piddle," or watch music videos.

I try really hard to not just wallow in my bad mood and let it grow into something more in my mind than "Well, Doreen is sick and tired today and everything sounds bad because of it."

Firefox uses iOS's password manager integration, and exposes a password manager that any program on iOS can use. The part you missed is linking them together. On your phone, go to Settings -> Passwords -> Autofill Passwords and select Firefox. Then your Firefox password manager will show up to autofill passwords in all apps, including Firefox.
Steve from Hegel-AI had showed us Vanna. Looks super cool. Let us know if you think there is room to collaborate.
Okta is a SaaS offering that does that. Maybe not fraud. What is fraud in this context? Spam? Check. Lost passwords? Check. Let someone else deal with auth? Check.

All of those are either services or software you can host yourself that provide auth and user management, OTPs, 2FA, email recovery, forgotten passwords, single-sign on, and more.
There's no need to appeal yet. With "punishment order" they probably refer to a german "Strafbefehl" which isn't a full sentence but a simplified system to avoid trials which only requires a bit more than probable cause.

They can now object to it, then there will be a full trial. If they loose there, then they can appeal.
I'm quite happy they did.

The article and comments don't mention it, but vagus stimulation by hot peppers (maybe wasabi too) has been studied and seems significant with respect to immune-nervous system interactions controlled by the vagus nerve, at least there's some interaction (wishful thinking perhaps, but as I like hot peppers this supports my view that they improve one's digestion and circulation):

(2013) "Capsaicin-sensitive vagal afferent neurons contribute to the detection of pathogenic bacterial colonization in the gut"

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4188534/

> "We conclude that activation of the afferent arm of the parasympathetic neuroimmune reflex by pathogenic bacteria in the gut is dependent on capsaicin sensitive vagal afferent neurons and that the release of inflammatory mediators into intestinal tissue can be directly sensed by these neurons."

What if I specifically like the fact that the communities are siloed on Discord?

I don't want people from other circles accidentally ending up on my community just because they were bored and were browsing. I don't want my Discord server ending up on the results of some global search either.

Anyone Experienced with Crawling Websites?
Hello fellow hackers,

I am trying to create a tool for myself that can crawl a few websites that I usually go on to compare the price of the same item. They have no APIs.

A couple questions:

1. is this LEGAL?
2. if I am crawling, what is the best way to approach this? does each website's crawling mechanism have to be manually written since they are unique or is there some strategy for scale if i need to expand the number of sites I crawl through in the future?

Thank you!

Sometime in the last few years, for licences older than 10 years.

Nowadays my go-to source for unbiased (or perhapes better to say "non-partison"), easily digestible information on incredibly complicated topics is CRS: https://crsreports.congress.gov/search/#/?termsToSearch=&ord...

These are the people whose job it is to make complex topics understandable for both parties of congress. Its a fantastic source if you want to set aside 10 minutes to quickly digest a complicated topic.

For a fun example, see some of their reports on Directed Energy Weapons: https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/details?prodcode=R46...

Its not really a news source, but then again you did not actually specify news and I wanted to shill CRS since they do fantastic work, especially given the tightrope they probably have to walk every day.
MiSTer can do pretty close to cycle-accurate 2600/7800 emulation. Postprocessing can include emulating the effects of composite video and projecting realistic scanlines and shadow mask, etc. (Of course, you can plug it into a composite monitor, too).

When I was 16 there were better things to do than pay attention to the news. I mean if the "adults" were struggling to solve complex issues, why give me anxiety over it.

The over riding goal today has become attention capture/Like/View/Click collection. But this is a temporary blip.

The story is breaking down with the platforms seeing growth stall, reduction in free content (pushed behind paywalls/login screens), banks collapsing, period of low interest rates ending, advertising budgets shrinking, subscription charges rising, new regulations that are upending how things used to work etc etc.

The Attention Economy is under assault and things are going to change. Content creators (be it news orgs or influencers) are functioning under the belief that if they create the "right" content they will get the views.

But the platforms (just like HN) dont inform them as more and more content creators enter the chat, and more and more content is Produced, the amount of content being Consumed doesn't increase cause total collective Attention is a constant. It has become easy to produce content, copy it, broadcast it. So supply goes on rising. But demand cant match it. And then spending time analyzing what "works" for the content creators is delusion.

Perhaps wherever you live that's not the case, but it's certainly is in Australia and New Zealand.

Statista shows 47% identifying as professionals in the field of software development use Linux-based operating systems.

Probably around 80% of the engineers I know in Melbourne Australia run macOS, with somewhere between 15-19% of remaining 20% running Linux (I think I've seen a dev running windows recently but I can't remember where).
So long as you have the nitro.

I’m with you and I think it’s entirely ignorance and hubris. To be fair to discord, I think they know this. They know their product market fit, they know their audience. Their customers are those community managers that like shiny things and surveillance powers. The fault is entirely on those community managers thinking their customers would like it too.

I bought a Supernote recently as a note-taking device, and that's worked out really well. It's almost like pen on paper to write on, but I can open new documents freely to make notes in, then consolidate them later because they're all already in one place. The stuff that's just working out or temporary diagrams I can delete later, and the rest I can archive.

On the other hand, I have gone from having a clutter of paper on my desk to having a clutter of notes on my Supernote, so maybe I've just moved the clutter from one place to another. But at least it's now less visible!
Yeah, I hope this is paired with something that actually stops those statements from running otherwise this is a pretty naive way to do this.
It's their job. The finance bros aren't engineers, technicians, doctors, writers, etc. They cook up this crap all day and sell it. But this stuff isn't real, because that's not what they do, they don't know how.

Real businesses,, business that have value and add value to the world are not built by bros in suits yelling at eachother on Wallstreet. Businesses are built by the Hank Hill types wearing Levi's and showing up to work in snowstorms and summer heat to load trucks and weld iron. Value isn't created by a stock ticker, it's created with the blood sweat and tears of the common person. Finance bros do not know how to bleed, sweat or cry - so they can't make things of real value.

Case and point, Warren Buffet.
In the truck-loving US yes, but in Europe, pedestrian crash safety is also taken into account and has improved a lot. E.g. Volvo have hoods that pop up on impact to cushion the blow for pedestrians.

Of course they're still less safe than not-cars, but in comparison to 50 years ago much has improved.

finally some sanity
Only 21% of the web visibly IPv6 in their survey, but worldwide users are 35% IPv6 capable and significantly higher in many large economies. 72% and above in several economies.

I don't normally like "Alexa top 1000" but in this case I think it's relevant. I have seen data suggesting that a CDF would put well above 90% of the most popular names by frequency of reference in 5000 DNS zones. That being roughly true then WHAT 21% of the web is really important: If google, and all it's associated assets, along with facebook, netflix and twitter/X are IPv6 enabled, then most of what most people do most of the time is dualstack.
It seems like the sweet spot is the startup has to be made in a garage. So basically you'd have enough wealth to own a garage (as well as afford the cutting edge tech you're using), but be too broke to rent a nice office downtown.

Part of this is just because AAA dev cycles are incredibly long now. Much, much longer than they used to be. Its to the point where its not unusual for a studio to only release 1 AAA game during a console generation (7-8 years). If they time things just right, they might fit 2 in.

Naughty Dog released Uncharted 1-3 and the TLOU during the PS3 era so 4 games. They released Uncharted 4 and TLOU 2 during the PS4 era which is 2 games. And so far they haven't released any game during the PS5 era (not including remasters/remakes). They will likely only release 1 new game before the PS6 is released.

Lets take Starfield as another an example since its the next big studio RPG to be released. Its been in development since 2015 so basically 8 years.

I often think about social media like this: I’m a quiet cafe and empty restaurant kind of guy. I hike trails and go to the gym at early hours because the vibe is right.

Social media is like the mall, or a stadium. Some people like going there, and do so often. They’re excited to see Taylor Swift with 80K other people. They go to the mall early on a weekday for a sneaker drop. I don’t get it but c’est la vie. That’s their life.

I don’t rant about the 80K people in the stadium for the big show. I’m sad there aren’t more quiet cafes. I spend time in countries where quiet cafes are more the norm. Maybe I’ll move there some day.

I’m also reminded by my parents who talk about the old country, or how grand it was to buy a house in LA in the 60s for $14K. Things change, eras end, we miss what was or what could have been. Tech stacks change, platforms and social spaces petrify, and our kids won’t care about any of these tomorrow.

I don’t have Twitter or Reddit accounts. And so it is.
Stop reading it after Part 2, I had the same feeling about Part 3 as this critic for the The Guardian did: "Once we arrive in the novel's snail-paced last third, there are lots and lots of lavish descriptions of imaginary machines: city-sized orbiting habitats, giant pendulums reaching down into the Earth's atmosphere, 'sky trains'. After scores of pages of this, my eyelids were succumbing to a powerful gravitational force."
