Ask HN: How to cope with hostile and mean online behavior?
Since the 90s, I’ve been surfing the web and encountering the same issue: hostile and mean-spirited online behavior.

I always strive to behave politely and respectfully, but there’s always someone (or even most people in some communities) who is snarky and rude, or who calls me (or others) a troll. This occurred to me when I sought guidance on how to deal with depression and suicidal thoughts, or even when I made a totally normal remark, such as ‘I tend to evaluate something by its substance rather than who says it and his/her history, but I realize this may not be common.’ I’ve also witnessed it happening to other users who didn’t intend to cause trouble. When this happens, I begin to tremble and feel the need to smash or punch something, and sometimes I burst into tears. To be honest, HN is one of the rare places where this is very minimal, where I feel comfortable and calm to say or ask something or read other conversations.

My question is, how can I handle this? Should I stay away from the internet because I’m not suited for it (I even suspect I may be neurodivergent), or because I can’t cope with its nature? Thanks everyone.

It's even lower than that. It's $15 for a third party to purchase that information, and sell it to you at a profit to that middleman.
> Without an outstanding company culture, most KPIs are almost useless.

Also, with an outstanding company culture, KPIs aren't really necessary.

So, when would they be useful?

I'm not as negative on KPIs as the previous line suggests though. They can be useful to shape direction when used carefully. But don't make them too long-lived, discard and create new ones as soon as they become gameable.
The Ad Nauseum plugin is probably more than 10 years old. In the age of advanced and largely inescapapble browser fingerprinting, is it still useful like it once was?

I am currently trying to release a new app in both app stores. The shit you have to jump through now is just ridiculous. I can't wait for the EU to force alternatives and make both of them clean up their act.

I still find Google to be "friendlier" towards the development process but the amount of legal garbage has gotten out of hand.

At Apple things have gotten way worse. Trying to automate release building is practically impossible and will require hours or CI pipeline debugging with error messages that don't mean what they say. At least Googles process is quite simple and can be dockerized.

Apple has also still not managed to get UTF8 right l. Every second Mail I get from them has my name fkdup. At least I can get into the development portal which a few years ago broke due to the umlaut in my name.

Also why do I have to pay Apple $125 a year when it costs $100 in the US? The exchange rate from CHF to USD should be in my favor.
I took the plunge when I canceled cable TV a few years back. It would be useful as a backup now and then (although my Internet seems pretty stable--my unassisted cell service is pretty poor) but not $40/month useful.
Biocontrol as a name covers everything from “swallowed a spider to eat the fly” to “introduce cane toads to kill cane flys” to “introduce bacteria that kills a specific species of mosquito and only that species”

> I don't think even this latest answer is any proof of anything other than that. Are you claiming there is? And what are you claiming is happening?

I'm claiming that it's reasoning through the problem.

> True intelligence might not even consider the presence of atmosphere as the norm

I hugely disagree, that's not how an intelligent human would answer the question, and if it did this people would be complaining that it clearly doesn't understand the human context in which the question was likely asked.

> I don't know what 1 proton to 100 neutrons means, but I gather it's radioactive.

It would be hydrogen, but a type of hydrogen that doesn't appear in nature. It's a deliberately absurd example so that it's not in the training set. Its answers are different if the question involves tritium which while radioactive has a moderate half-life and wouldn't immediately pop the balloon.

> I don't think it's far fetched that it draws the same conclusion from the training set because to you it seems obvious,

Only because I can reason through what would happen, not because it's something I've seen talked about before.

To figure out what it would do, it cannot rely on an explanation elsewhere, it needs to first identify that the ratio of protons to neutrons is extreme. Then it needs to understand that this typically results in particular kinds of radiation.

It has to then use that information to consider how that would interact with the material of the balloon (and that this is important).

It has to use that information to consider how it would affect people, and what their reactions would be both before and after it explodes/pops.

This is multi-step reasoning through an issue that involves pulling together common expectations, physics and how humans react.

Here's a statement in it that shows to me more than just pulling a few answers together

> Balloon Behavior: Instead of floating up like a helium-filled balloon, this balloon would drop to the ground because the gas inside is denser than air. This might surprise the attendees, and curious children might approach or pick up the balloon, further exposing themselves to radiation.

-

> The feelings of the scenario reads like any PR comment after a tragedy. "We feel shock and disbelief" and so on.

Those are typical things, which is not surprising, but it is also clearly linked with the question. You have to understand how out of context this would be.

> If the training data didn't include the words neutron or proton it would have no idea where to begin.

Fully rediscovering what took humans many years to do off-the-cuff is an outrageously high bar.

What features of a question would you look for to identify whether it's "taking several answers from a database and merging them together" or performing some reasoning? I've asked a few times but don't understand what you're expecting.
I realize that it can seem superficially that I am making an emotive or moral argument but that isn't it at all. Ethics aside, we have to acknowledge that the way we interoperate with our environment is fundamental to our survival of the species, which is in turn what makes it therefore ethical and moral. We aren't going to find ourselves out there, any more or less than Europeans did when they crossed the ocean to find what was to them the New World.

If we don't fix how we interoperate as a species with our lived environment, we will die. There is no magic solution in space. We either fix ourselves - we change how we interoperate with the environment - or we die. Going into space solves nothing.

Do we know what/how TikTok is "spying"? I mean it is just an app running on a mobile device just like any other app. What data does it collect that the feds would like to get their hands on? Perhaps the ban should be on the ability of any app to collect this data in the first place?
it depends. I believe map literals are stack allocated if they aren't shared across goroutines or globals.
Where do people get the energy to take outward collective action if they are bogged down by stress and frivolous thoughts? I see meditation and/or psychedelics as the only way to get people to do pro-societal things, above individualistic things that are not thoughtful uses of time.

I use iCloud for that, and it is quite handy. I can lose my phone and pick up a new one. All my notes, bookmarks, photos, passwords, etc are all there after a quick sign in.
I think it really could depend. Yes, there's a strong possibility that you get excessive cutaways to appendix content and a lot of invented side-drama to pad it out, but it's also conceivable that a longer take could include much more of the original dialogue. As a very silly and trite example, take Eowyn's iconic "I am no man" line from ROTK. In the book, that line is an entire speech, and it's fabulous:

> “But no living man am I! You look upon a woman. Éowyn I am, Éomund’s daughter. You stand between me and my lord and kin. Begone, if you be not deathless! For living or dark undead, I will smite you, if you touch him.”

The Mary Sue did a great long-form piece on how unfortunate it was that Eowyn's character wasn't managed better: https://www.themarysue.com/the-story-of-eowyn/

In any case, this is just one small example, but it's easy to imagine that with a longer treatment of Bilbo's birthday party, the hobbits might have been able to be more fleshed out as well, and less of just dumb comic relief. That said, even the 1981 BBC radio play that's considered by many purists to be the gold standard as far as LOTR dramatizations is only about 13h, so perhaps I'm being pretty optimistic to imagine that doubling that runtime could go anywhere good.
Propane combustion vehicles are common, and I'd guess a fuel cell would extract roughly 30% extra energy from the same fuel. They typically have battery efficiencies.

Apparently medical doctors considered that babies younger than 15 months, didn't need anesthetics until 1986 [1]. This is an example of how they treated human beings different, when they thought they have a lower level experience (they considered that babies didn't feel pain).

Watching the advance in AI, we should depart from a substance based approach and move to an experience based, it doesn't matter if your molecules form DNA or semiconductors (or future stuff), if this hypothetical being has "an experience", it should be treated accordingly.

We should treat all (including animals and other being) kindly, and if we can prove they don't have an experience, treat them as a rock/metal.

For GLES all the relevant tests are open-source, under KhronosGroup/VK-GL-CTS on GitHub.

There's a small set of legacy "confidential" tests that you have to pass for GL conformance. They can't be open-sourced for legal reasons. The current CTS working group would like to get rid of them, but it's hard to justify spending time on GL these days...

You can definitely pass conformance with a driver that's horribly broken in practice. GL/ES/GLSL are huge and there are holes found in these specs all the time. And it's not like game developers read them anyway; whatever works on their test devices gets shipped.

Meditation is not just about accepting emotions and thoughts; you can get such by talking with a close friend or visiting a mental health counselor. Many people claim to receive new insight or guidance amidst the mental stillness. Two common explanations is that it's either God or your Higher Self sending a message.

Prayer is absolutely a form of meditation, arguably a more advanced form. If meditation fosters observation of self and others, prayer takes that observation and combines it with will to cause action.

What you're ultimately getting at is the difference between "going through the motions" and proper meditation and prayer. Most spiritual systems discuss a "right" way to meditate or pray which focuses less on the external actions and more on your internal desire.
From the recent FT article:

“Despite our significant reliance on Arm China through our commercial relationship with them, both as a source of revenue and as a conduit to the important [Chinese] market, Arm China operates independently of us,” the prospectus warned, adding that Arm did not have any direct management rights or the right to representation on Arm China’s board.

Sorry, maybe my taxonomy is different. I mean a full-scale war, not whatever those were. A war with roughly equivalent militaries and economies, where there is a threat and war footing that might justify changing the lives of civilians and their relationship to their government. Technically, Congress hasn't declared war since 1942, even though we've been in some big ones since then, but that's not what I mean either. We probably need a broader vocabulary to describe the various uses of force in international relations, which distinguishes between war and military actions, however expensive.
This is a useful message to the investor audience, but I think the focus on 'hype' is missing the utility of Generative AI and only hovering near the confusion that people express regarding the technology. AI currently is decidedly an extension or tool, it does not have agency. I think this is the main confusion at play. AI cannot displace single workers directly, but it can now be used to great effect to create efficiencies which could in turn displace a percentage of a class of service workers. I think the distinction is important, particularly to those who are concerned that AI may obsolete their jobs.

The economy is neither zero-sum nor completely not zero-sum. The easiest way to prove that is to look at a company like Tesla. Do you think their entire market cap is newly created value? For that to be the case, everyone who purchased a Tesla wouldn't have purchased any other car if Tesla didn't exist. As soon as we acknowledge that Tesla has siphoned off customers from other companies, we acknowledge that there is at least some zero-sum nature to the economy. Then you just have to start looking for other places that this partial zero-sum situation exists such as employeer-employee relationships at Musk's companies and that brings us back to wealth inequality.

Can you give an example of where/how? I imagine you don't get caught out writing Bash scripts like:

grep -e,-i,'\bneedle\b',file.txt | cut -F,2,-d,':'

Because that's so contextually distinct from Python/JavaScript/Ruby; in shells (and APL, J, LISPs), arrays of commands and their arguments are space separated rather than comma separated. Similar in PowerShell, where it looks like shell it tends to work like shell:

get-childitem -Path c:\ -Filter *.txt -Force

Where it looks like scripting language it tends to work like one:
