For hiking OSM blows Google out of the water. I'm surprised how detailed OSM is with random forest trails and shortcuts, resting spots, viewpoints, etc.

The main thing I use Google Maps for is searching for stores etc in cities. I hope such information becomes easier to contribute to OSM.

Perhaps a Pokémon Go style game for map updates could work? StreetComplete[0] is good, but the rewards are kind of boring.

The problem with TOS changes is they never provide a diff. They provide the entire TOS again, one that most people already skipped. I don’t think it’s fair to even provide a legal TOS that does not match your demographic.

These things need to be shorter and written at a 8th grade writing level, and I don’t mean that in any pejorative way. It needs to be clear to the average person (and I’m not even sure if I’m being generous there by suggesting 8th grade writing/reading level).
I'm not sure what you're talking about. I find the default youtube homepage to be Mr Beast and Sniperwolf and a random combination of the most popular hosts and videos on youtube. This is when my apple tv is logged out and I think it's reliable as I'm not subscribed or watching any of those channels.
They might exist, but it is a far cry from “most people registering a .US domain are not registering it at the top level,” which is mistaken.
More importantly, I think official organisations like government, local government, safety, charities etc should not be encouraging people to use non-safe channels to interac. We should be lobbying them to stop
Also, it appears to never suggest an autocomplete containing the number 1776 either.

For example, if I type "July 4 177" it shows "July 4 1774" and "July 4 1775", but not "July 4 1776".

This obviously is intentional, but why? Searching for 1776 still produces results, but why censor the auto-complete?

I find if I type some other obviously controversial phrases, it auto-completes for them. (Edit: not that I think 1776 is controversial personally, but I am assuming someone at Google does)
Were any communist or socialist channels included?
We are all going to be consumed in the AI machines.

That's sensible, unlike trusting that TPM+GRUB+dracut+systemd+getty+logind+whatever all work fine and won't leak your key.

Rebooting a box is often the easiest way to get something done if you can't be bothered with exotic configs, I just don't believe that remotely rebooting a encrypted box for which you dont have the key is ever a reasonable thing to do, and that's the assumptuon this article is based on.

Résumé/CV: https://fulcrumops.com/resume.pdf
Email: pete@theemersons.org

I'm an experienced DevOps / SRE / Infrastructure engineer who has focused mostly on startups who need to level up their infrastructure capabilites (e.g. migrating from Heroku to AWS).

As such, I've had my fingers in a lot of pies over the course of my career, doing what needs to be done to automate infrastructure and turn it into a commodity while preventing it from becoming a black box. I believe that crafting appropriately leveled documentation is a key to keeping the walls down between infrastructure and application engineering. I love teaching others my craft while continuing to acquire new skills.

I am willing to consider equity in partial exchange for base compensation for the right opportunity at a small startup. I also have the ability to hire at least one more to build a team if desired.

> It's a propaganda strategy to prime the American public to support inevitable offensives against China.

You are giving the US government way too much credit about playing the long-game at an expert level while hiding its motives and being united of purpose.

I've seen how the US motivates itself to war (e.g. the invasion of Iraq) and it is clumsy, obvious and with lots of infighting.
I have figured out a way of doing machine learning right. Turns out that all popular architectures are just instances of a more general approach. Infinite transformer window is possible. Attention is just a particular case of Hopf convolution. Verification is possible. Faster training, faster inference. Possibly interpretability. But it goes beyond transformers.

The machine learning process is analogous to renormalization from QFT which in retrospect makes sense.

I have recently written a paper on this https://arxiv.org/abs/2302.01834 however a lot has changed since then.

I'm in the process of implementing a framework that implements these ideas.

I'm looking for ML R&D position with a company that appreciates this approach.

Surely lightning.

I’m in New Zealand and our sun just destroys everything. The UV eats everything up and I’d not expose a cable to sunlight.

Plenty of places are hotter or have more UV but also have air pollution which blocks UV. Our relatively clear air lets the UV come ripping through.

At least sunlight won’t toast my switch though.

Ask HN: Any LAN alternatives other than PowerLine or MOCA?
I've been trying to get a stable connection from my living room to my work room, for almost a year now.

The Wifi repeater[0] I had is too unreliable to deliver anything for very long. The Powerline[1] adapter works for maybe a hot minute and then loses the pairing over the power socket, and now I'm seeing the same with MoCA[2] over coaxial (yes I have PoE filters).

Are there any other alternatives?

Yeah registering a domain is sort of a permanent act. If you ever let it expire, someone else can take it over and start receiving all emails, http requests, and anything else directed at services you used to run there. And possibly responding to them. They'll easily get certificates to verify the domain, since all that's needed to do that is control of the domain.
You have been for a few months. The payouts are better than many other platforms too.
Was that not precisely the authors point? We don't feel queasy representing many things different things incidientally with the same binary sequence, so why feel queasy about the same set theoretical representation?

I understood it as the author emphasizing as I believe you also wish the difference between the representation and the thing itself. Sets can be fun and useful without us resorting to reductionistic arguments about what math "is", I believe the author is saying.
Gradual Write-Barrier Insertion into a Ruby Interpreter [pdf]
Do these guys actually think you should only write a singular (or maybe even a low plural number of) html file(s)? That’s crazy haha, that’d be pretty rough to maintain!

Could they have been joking that, maybe, there’s a lot of folks who are a little too tunnel visioned on the newest most modern js metaframeworks that they have little or limited knowledge of the foundations of their ecosystem? Given that you know something about html files and basic web servers, was your position necessarily the original subject of the joke/point here? Surely it was! Gruff old school devs are so obstinate and short sighted haha.

You opened, intending to construct an argument on your genuine position, with a massive strawman, on a lighthearted commentary over a line from the article that was purposefully taken slightly out of context- not even remotely a tirade on “js hating.” You’re not having an argument in this comment thread with anyone, because no one was even discussing anything to begin with.

I think there’s things to laugh at here (like the original joke) that aren’t how genuinely stupid you think the commenter who is ironically replying to every of your comments in a vague and mystical tone.
Or some kind of mode on the GPU that reduces performance slightly to stay within the slot-only power limit. Cards already do power limiting, I wonder how easy this would be.

GoDaddy is making a ton of money by allowing spammers and scammers to abuse .US domains. They have a massive incentive to turn a blind eye to it because cutting these bad actors off would mean they lose out on all that money. It doesn't matter to them if the money they're getting is likely stolen to begin with or that the domains will be used to rip off countless others.

Amoral monsters who will do anything for money can't be trusted to do anything other than make money. It's bad enough they're able to register domains with other TLDs, but we should probably not allow them to manage .US at all given their track record.
'The elite' prefer stoking the flames of the culture war to keep the little people fighting amongst themselves, rather than rising up together against the bigger inequalities.
Yes, but that doesn't change the fact that Docker Engine doesn't run Dockerfiles.

The only reason things are legal or illegal, allowed or disallowed, is because the majority of the voting public deems it to be so. There is no possible set of rules that can reflect every individuals sense of right and wrong, since we disagree strongly and in good faith about those matters.

Building codes exist because people died in fires. Limits on working age exists because there would be child labor without it. Limits on working agreements exist because there would be indentured servitude without it. Limits on government power, exemplified by the first 10 amendments to the US constitution, exist because without them the government would do anything to you that it wanted. And even then there are those who find those regulations limited, who want government with unlimited power over them, thinking that would make them safer, or that it's coercive to government workers to abide by them. Society is not a game of absolutes - it's a game of compromises that can only function if people are generally acting in good faith.

I am not an EU citizen or resident, so I don't believe that avenue is open to me. Also, Twitter has not of late demonstrated significant susceptibility to regulations.

I will note that we've narrowed the claim from "you're free to delete your content" to "If you live in some countries you're very likely to be able to delete your content", which I agree is probably true.
The plant will zero out the potential, presumably because there is a small current through the plant itself. In the presence of a nearby antenna/grounding rod the current through the plant would be significantly lower, since there is a less resistive path to ground.

In the case of my hypothesis, the mechanism I'm describing would likely be somehow tied to the plant's perception of that current.
I don't think much of the technical or moral chops of big law firms involved in the intellectual property game, but this seems reasonable to me.

The site was being used to do some bad thing to their clients, they're justified in assuming the current owner might know something about it. Changing registrars and WHOIS info is exactly the kind of thing a shady site might do to throw off investigation. If you're fortunate, you'll at least get your reply read by someone who can understand the plain English of "it wasn't me, I bought the site since then" and doing a bit of research to cross check that.
Good riddance. The scooters were a nuisance in the way that even the bike shares are not.

I'm not sure what it is about the form factor, but the scooters were significantly more likely to have been parked laying down in the middle of the sidewalk, preventing anyone with mobility issues to squeeze through or not be able to move through.

And they were much more commonly ridden on the sidewalk. Being motorized, they were often getting up to speeds equivalent of bicycles and they were quite heavy as well.

I know a lot has been made about the turnout, but the vote was advertised very heavily. I couldn't go anywhere for a few weeks without seeing posters for it. Maybe those in favor didn't vote, but they had the chance and the heads up. (It's also possible that it was heavily tourists using them, but I can't be too upset about residents deciding what they want for their city.)

SEEKING FREELANCER | US - Remote-only

Technologies: Wordpress/PHP/React

I work for an e-Commerce company that powers a significant percentage of the online cannabis shopping in the US.

We have a Wordpress plugin that makes it easy for retailers to integrate our menu product into their websites. We had a great Wordpress core contributor who built most of it, but he has gotten too busy with other projects. We know something about Wordpress and have made a few enhancements internally, but are looking for someone with more expertise than us since there is a fair amount of technical complexity to our use case (and a million different Wordpress setups that interact with our plugin).

We are looking for an experienced PHP/Wordpress developer who can act as an advisor (including reviewing some of our code), and who is potentially willing to add some more features and do ongoing maintenance/fixes. This would be part-time project-based work.

Tubeless tires and the kind of stiff, slippery, puncture resistant tires GP is talking about (Gatorskins or Marathons) are somewhat orthogonal. Tubeless certainly helps! I ride tubeless Conti GP5000s (which have fantastic ride quality) personally, but they would not work well if I was constantly riding in glass. (I also regularly go thousands of miles without flatting, but that is in large part because I don’t have to ride through broken glass.)

> Is this kind of specialty distro “just” a very fancy and high labor way to share some dotfiles?

> This one uses runit which I like, but I don’t really care about init system as long as it’s a supervisor.

I mean, changing init system isn't the same as changing a window manager. It's probably one of the few things that does matter between distros. And systemd isn't just an init system, it's a whole load of other stuff that comes bundled.

It might be enough for some one to choose one of these specialist distros. Personally I just gave in and accepted systemd into my life and that I'll probably never be able to debug any problems. Luckily the days of figuring out why my Linux desktop won't boot are much less frequent than 20 years ago.
As others have noted, the first of these videos was distributed as a newsreel, playing before feature films in towns as AT&T rolled out direct-dial.

I don't know how the second was distributed, though Wikipedia suggests newsreels continued in mainstream until the late 1960s, which would suggest that the 1951 video also saw newsreel distribution as a primary mechanism.
