>Then yahoo killed it and now Instagram rules, with fewer features, more addiction and less depth. Flickr had addiction loops too but that wasn't the main focus.

Though Flickr does exist (owned by SmugMug). No idea how their finances are. I expect so so.

You're right that community has gone away to a large degree. But I'm not sure how much power Flickr had to influence that other than becoming Instagram--which the prosumer crowd would mostly have hated.

Sometimes the mainstream crowd moves on from you and your choices are to more or less either let them or adapt in ways that aren't true to your vision.
I've never once heard someone here in a America state that they sought out or preferred an HOA. But when shopping for a home, you have to make trade-offs and for many people, a house with an HOA is the perceived least-bad choice of the options available to them.
>> It basically entirely ignores how this is going to hurt the small/indie developers the most, who are the main reason Unity exists as it does today.

You only start paying if you have 200k installs AND $200k in revenue. Most indie devs never reach anything like those numbers.
Contracts can help. Knowing that marriage is at least somewhat likely for happy couples, site users could sign an agreement that they'll pay the site $1k in the event that they become married to someone they meet through the site. Of course this could lead to freeloaders who try to avoid triggering the agreement, but that just means the contract may need optimization. Freemium models can work.
Counter-counter point: for years Reddit has been pushing for fewer article links and more locally hosted content.

They started hosting their own images, then their own videos. This is expensive to do, but perhaps they felt that it was worth it to keep users on their site instead of risking them wandering off to Imgur.

And the new design discourages actually reading the article. When you click on a "link", it sends you to the comment page which has a small embedded thumbnail and blurb. (The old design took you to the article directly).
I think that this isn't specific to charging on the road like Electrify America or the Tesla Supercharger Network, and more about linking EVs into the electric grid to help with energy storage and demand coordination. As I understand it, NACS has already been adopted for the USA as a standard, similar to the nozzles on fueling stations.

Only through Qubes, but I do most of my web access in a disposable (ephemeral) Whonix VM in Qubes, and it does exactly what it says on the box.
They way 4chan normally doxes are pretty much thwarted by the basic methods mentioned here. 99% of the time it’s to trace the same username/email address across sites and link that to a person aggregator or Facebook/LinkedIn.
Correct, he's only trying to mitigate the damage caused by showing people who he (and the other wealthy folks) really is and how he thinks. This sort of shit is the equivalent to thought cancer.
Unity discovers how real the revenue struggle is
Unity has been always offering a genuine service, and they just raised the price of the said service in an unprecedented manner.
The website is fine. Please don't detract from the topic. Whonix is unanimously considered the best Linux distribution in terms of privacy and security. You can also run it in Qubes OS. It's intended to run on Virtualbox for now. One VM is for network access, while the other one is connected to the previous VM for said network access, and it's the one you should use. This is to prevent any de-anonymization attacks.
This thread is full of idiots who think they're geniuses.
It sounds like Elon Musk is doing his best to cater to totalitarian regimes.
Go’s LSP (created by Go Team) is the best in class and super feature rich. I’d recommend trying out things before making claims about one thing being better than the other.
Stop giving guys like Gurner what they want, which is for people like you to provide free marketing for him based on intentionally inflammatory comments.

It's incredible how people think this is "a rich guy revealing their true colors" as if they don't know what they are doing, which is manipulating you into linking more to him.
You can get a sense for bluesky from the AT firehose: https://firesky.tv/
> PWAs don't have this problem.

I think the only sensitive APIs not available in the browser are calendar and photo gallery access, but PWAs have otherwise access to Contacts, GeoLocation, Cameras, Microphone, Clipboard, and even the FileSystem.

Maybe Android apps do suffer from the problem you’re describing, since permissions are granted lumped together at install time, but on iOS all permissions are optional just like in the browser.

Unless the owners attempt to sell the hose, the primary thing a lien gives you is the power to foreclose.
I don't think they are talking about on-the-road chargers. This is more about smart chargers for use in residential charging to help with managing demand and supply of power to/from the grid.

> BMW, Ford, and Honda are forming a new US-based company called ChargeScape, focused on optimizing electric vehicle grid services.
The irony is that while the HOA was great at delaying needed repairs for cosmetic reasons, they were terrible at keeping out the "undesirables" my ex-neighbors constantly lived in fear of.

Somebody managed to open a half-way house for addiction recovery just down the street from me, and my neighbors were very upset. I think they finally used a regulation preventing more than a handful of unrelated people living together and managed to get the halfway house closed months later.
Oh and for good measure, thinking back on my time on the HOA board:

- Most of the board were immigrants of some stripe, particularly Latino, but also Eastern European and Indian.

- The one tenant we had which we considered foreclosure for was someone who was himself Latino. The issue was he refused to pay the HOA fees - ever - not one cent since he bought the home a few years before. He also had a huge number of people living there (which was by itself not a problem for anyone), but there was only 1 water meter so the water bill was divided among the building based on square footage and his unit made up around half the building's water bill (!) based on historical billing records.

- The foreclosure proceedings were intended as leverage to get him to start paying his overdue HOA fees. Nobody wanted to actually turn the guy out on the street. It worked, and he started paying, and even though his unit still (at the time I sold my unit) was using up more water than the rest and people were footing the bill for it, he was at least paying HOA fees and everyone was grudgingly fine with it.

- I don't think we ever progressed to filing the paperwork for the foreclosure.
I similarly despise HOAs. I've never actually been threatened by an HOA and most people I know that have an HOA have relatively benign ones, but the concept and the concentration of power outside of official government is frightening to say the least.

In contrast, my current neighborhood does not have an HOA but we do have a "neighborhood association" that's entirely voluntary and mostly exists to support a collection of streets with activities, clean up drives, etc.
No, just regulated. The real-estate agent in the article had it right: real-estate is regulated way more than HOAs which have almost no regulation.

When viewed in a lens of their history (ie, as a means of segregation and exclusion) it would make sense why they were "off limits" to legislators.

However, I think it could be a popular thing to regulate them now - most homeowners hate their HOA random fees and correction requirements. And you have examples like the Revolt at the Villages [1] where HOAs take money from one group of residents to fund expansion elsewhere.

I agree. Very "Discord voice chat friends group"
It's an application error (a transient error with Steam), MS Windows doesn't even offer general application updates.
> People make purchasing decisions based on their environment, and that environment is heavily influenced by public policy.

> It’s difficult to take your bet as anything other than disingenuous grandstanding considering the appetite for such public policy changes is pretty weak. It’s impossible to distinguish what is a matter of will and what is a matter of actual possibility.

These are both your statements. I've done my best to argue in good faith with a genuine offer to be accountable to my thesis, but you can't both say "public policy will change purchasing decisions" and "appetite for such public policy changes is pretty weak." Either you believe public policy will successfully encourage mass transit and urban planning outcomes that provide superior benefit to vehicles or you don't. I believe EV deployments will be superior based on, as you say, lack of public policy appetite (which is literally the foundation of my thesis; there is no appetite for what you put forth is the superior solution while EV manufacturers have nothing to stop them, there is no speed limit). Appreciate the conversation regardless.
I'm currently doing this with a few programming language books, and the strategy for me is basically to read the book in two passes. On the first pass, the goal is just to get through the whole thing and get a feel for everything it covers. If I don't understand it, that's okay— I just let it wash over me.

It's only on the second pass that I am trying to go through each section carefully and make sure I really understand before moving on, including seeking outside help or resources if I feel confused or stuck.

This feels fun for me, and the casual first pass makes it easy to figure out if a book or language truly appeals to me.

I also feel, strange as it sounds, like for me it save time compared to learning in small increments through tutorials. It lets me more quickly absorb the basics for things that are already more or less familiar, and then I can focus on exercises and examples only for the tricky stuff.

When I first started studying computer science, in high school, the biggest productivity gap was between the students who tried to work only with what they were directly taught in class by the teacher and the students who decided to go explore the language/stdlib API docs on their own. There was a lot of 'wow, how did you do that!?' from the former group and a lot of 'it's built in, check out this part of the manual' in response from the latter. But somehow no amount of exchanges like that could convince the former group to take some time to RTFM in a comprehensive or unguided way, so it stayed that way.
Is Godot mature enough to offer Indy games developers an alternative to unity? If not, what is missing?
Not all devs are proficient in SQL. Its another skill that is required.
I agree, but I think there’s an overly large emphasis on picking at LLMs (in)ability to reason in a structured way independent of its semantic language expectation model. It’s usually used as a “see LLM sucks” while the other side holds to “see it can do everything.” Neither is right. LLMs are amazing, but they can’t do everything, even if they can seem to do many things most of the time. While interesting to investigate the boundaries, I think the passion should be more directed towards “how do we wire the piece together and for what and where”
Thanks for clarifying, makes sense. It's like me appreciating some fine coffee or my father's old records..

To each their own, I guess :)
There did used to be one like this and I can't for the life of me remember the name of it.

My friend didn't meet her husband on it, but she did meet her future husband's roommate.

Are indies still Unity's raison d'etre? They may have started there, and they're hardly a AAA engine, but I'm pretty sure they've moved upstream.
Oh yeah they are 100% electrical arcs.
They serve a purpose. You may never have as many eyes on it besides the few days after it was posted but it breaks a lot of historical conversation, especially on sites with useful information/solutions.

I'm making a tangential statement only somewhat related to the comment above it. Personally I don't like that sites like Reddit claim ownership of and make profit from user generated content. I think people should delete their comments and move to a more open and free platform.
For those that don't know, "The Sun" is not exactly a trusted news source, it's just another red top.
The study has an interesting approach to avoiding self-reporting level of confidence.

> We propose and use in the paper, an indirect measure of confidence in knowledge, defined as the ratio of incorrect to ‘don’t know’ answers in any knowledge questionnaire, as long as it had the format true/false/don’t know (or similar). The rationale is that an incorrect answer corresponds to an overestimation of one’s knowledge (more details in the main text).

On face value it seems like a good way to avoid the pitfalls of self-report surveys, perhaps also useful in affective modeling.
I don't think the person making the threat is reading HN comments. Not sure who you're addressing here.
Yeah, but I was under the impression that for the same prompt, implementations are already share the KV cache. This area is so new so these obvious ideas might not get implemented as widely as I thought.
This is nice. Thank you for putting the details together.
From the post:

>A cloned database view is some representation of your database that has been post-processed to only contain data that the user is allowed to see. This representation would typically be in the form of a separate user-specific sqlite database file. Because the cloned database only contains data that is theirs, a user may issue any query against it, and there is no risk to data security. And if a malicious user was able to issue a DDL statement, it would only affect their cloned database.

Maybe there is a better word than "cloned database view." Replica doesn't feel quite right though.
If you're talking about the T2 vulnerability - no, PD negotiation is not sufficient, you need arbitrary data communication.
Very meta study.
Right, but once a dev does hit that threshold, they could very easily be upside down on their income if the app goes viral and gets installed at a much higher rate than the revenue it generates and that's what people are mad about. You could instantly go from 200k revenue to being in the red on developer fees alone.
Well it turns out it is even worst [1], little to no IPC increase and purely clock speed increase. The CPU is basically a die shrink of A16.

Looks like any IPC will likely be in A18.

Yeah and they also fall over all the time. And when that happened, it leaked gallons of gas. It increased the amount of pollution and created a fire hazard.
I have no idea what image you're talking about, the tweet's avatar is just one of the lambs, there are no screenshots in the tweet, and scrolling through the thread there is no furry art. So the downvotes are probably because the comment doesn't appear related to the content that got posted? If you're browsing their profile and see content you don't like, just stop browsing their profile.

(You're free to hate all the things you hate, but a HN comment thread is almost certainly not the place to vent about that)

Big big players probably don't care the Pro and Enterprise tier isn't too horrid. Or they have negotiate their own deals. For them 0.01 per install is probably magnitudes less than they pay on advertising per player.
Honestly seems to me that some BOMs (and therefore some practically-achievable price-points) should be illegal, then. You shouldn't be allowed to market something as a mower, if it's built such that the act of mowing gradually shakes the mower apart.

Yes, a change like this would mean that, in the short term, there'd suddenly be no "consumer" version of many products. But that'd only be the short term. In the medium term, I'd expect heavy pressure for innovation in materials science, with all these companies that were fine with plastics before, suddenly investing money and labor into operationalization of e.g. scaling carbon-fiber production.
Singapore has a government dating service, SDU, right? They try to do eugenics on top of that though, so the long term relations might not have the highest priority as well.
This is difficult when you know you face a 45-60+ minute commute and for those of us in the north, you know it will be dark, sometimes before you get off of work.

And then for those of us who work from home 45-60+ minutes away from work, why do I want to go back into town at 5?

And finally, some of us have 'had it' and "5:01 and done" is exactly that. Put up a firm boundary between work life/work people, and home.

AND THEN there are those office workers who set these "fun" activities up, worse yet during work hours and "mandatory" who don't realize they're dealing with neuroatypicals who completely stress out about "fun" office "games" and dread the entire concept.

That last one was perhaps a side rant :-)

Mobile support for C# is the top of my list.
In OpenSCAD, you primarily model by creating shapes and combining them with boolean operations. You can use this same workflow in FreeCAD without using the sometimes-fragile PartDesign workbench - that's what the Part workbench is. You could, if you were so inclined, even do it in text using Python. This approach doesn't usually explode on you.

However, the PartDesign workbench is substantially more capable and more comparable to other CAD programs, and a substantial portion of the dev work on FreeCAD has been targeted at making it less fragile. You can also avoid most breakages in PartDesign by following best practices that can be found on YouTube or the FreeCAD wiki.

A continuing issue is constraint-related issues which you mentioned. I've never seen a file explode after save and load - if that happened, it's likely it was already broken before save and FreeCAD failed to inform you, which I have definitely seen. What I have seen is a similar problem where a sketch is valid, but there are one or more alternative valid configuration under the same constraints. Everything is fine and the file is usable as long until you try to adjust certain parameters driving a sketch and the sketch flips into a totally different configuration. Even after reverting to old parameters, the sketch will be now be stuck in this new configuration and everything built on it will be broke. This is usually avoidable, but it requires seriously thinking about how you're constraining your sketch to avoid this kind of fragility.

It's also important to know that you can combine workbenches. A solid created in the Part workbench can be imported into the PartDesign workbench as a base feature. A PartDesign solid can be used in Part boolean operations.

This is all to say that while FreeCAD definitely has a much steeper learning curve than OpenSCAD, it can generally do the same things as OpenSCAD without any Sketch/PartDesign-related fragility while having many additional capabilities available if you need them.

That's awesome! I first got in contact with Fabien-Robert (https://github.com/faroit) during the Music Demixing Challenge 2021, where the UMX-L weights were first unveiled.

We have since discussed my projects a couple of times! I even got the idea for a streaming LSTM from him.

I think music demixing in general owes a lot of thanks to Open-Unmix and co (https://github.com/sigsep), who have relentlessly been publishing open-source models and related code (source separation metrics, dataset loaders, etc.) for years, and who blew the industry open with their MDX 21 [1] and SDX 23 [2] AI challenges.

Interesting. Theoretical "(number of people) x 24h/day" is the max limit for attention economy. Has it already hit the ceiling?
The article seems to miss (or perhaps ignore?) the fact that there has been an incredibly massive exodus from formerly-twitter. There just literally aren’t as many people around to see/share things, which is also a contributing factor to not going viral.
yeah designing anti-dopaminergic (maybe serotonergic?) tech is a class of solutions I'm especially excited about. Like browser extensions that cut out the little dopamine-triggering UI elements that designers keep adding in.

Is an 80% discount typical for a foreclosure auction? I guess there must be immense risks involved, otherwise they would go for more money.

Either that, or I'd have to assume that the auction was not properly publicized, and the HOA is somehow profiting from the sale due to that fact. (eg, feeding info about the auction to people that bribe them, board members buying forclosed homes and selling them at a profit, etc).
It's mostly quiet, but you'll definitely hear gasps at a jump scare, chortles as jokes, etc. Muffled, automatic responses.
> but of course, the games industry declined in 2022

I suppose the article author would have me believe that is indicative of a broader trend, but does anybody think a drop in games profits in 2022 isn't simply a consequence of covid policies ending?
