My initial reaction before seeing the site was "but the numbers we use are arabic", of course, I realized you were trying to link number to spoken language.

Are arabic numbers harder to speak than any other language? Numbers seem to be the first thing to learn, and are rather simple, or is there a reason in Arabic that they are difficult, or more needed than in other languages?

Except, we all know that doesn't happen, mostly because of the state of healthcare in the USA. My brother got colon cancer, so I tried to get a colonoscopy (I'm over 50), they refused unless I saw a primary care doctor first, well the first available appointment was 6 months out. After that I got a colonoscopy appointment, another 6 months out. Ridiculous reality.

>Is there a possibility that online dating has a bias for women that are “choosy”

Worse: online dating apps create choosy daters. It is less like "dating" and more like online shopping. People who use such apps are incentivized to drill down using increasingly-specific filters hoping to find the perfect mate, but in reality find themselves with no suitable matches at all. Worse yet, if they do find someone, the false sense of being able to continue refining toward a more perfect mate often drives them away from actually-existing relationships and back to the apps where they fruitlessly search for an "upgrade"

This is overt racism.
The difference is that YT and similar tech platforms have access to much more data which allows them to optimise (or not) for these outcomes.

I wrote a thing a few years ago after reading one of the case studies in John Doerr’s OKR book that used YT as an example, I think the point I was trying to make likely still stands https://www.jacquescorbytuech.com/writing/okr-youtube-uninte...

Hey HN - I'm building a tool to help simplify the process of getting funded by popular accelerators like YC, Seedcamp, etc.

Just give a brief description of your startup + founders, choose the accelerator(s) you want to apply to, and let GPT-4 generate a solid first draft that you can iterate on.
This system is quite similar to Briefhand, an alphabetic shorthand letter-omission at its core and augmented with abbreviations for common words. With practice, the core rules alone are enough to write at speaking-pace.

Over time you develop a personal set of abbreviations. My shorthand is a personal language. Probably anyone could decode my notes back to English with some effort, but my notes are more than text, they’re a mnemonic device: sometimes I only need but a glance to recall my mental formations at the time I was writing.
I mean, I certainly wouldn't invest all my savings, but like a year's or so worth of savings maybe.
You discovered the Zen of Go. There are no magic one liners. It's boring, explicit and procedural.

Proponents argue that this forced simplicity enhances productivity on a larger organisational scale when you take things such as onboarding into account.

I'm not sure if that is true. I also think a senior Python / Java / etc resource is going to be more productive than a senior Go resource.
It's the detection that is the problem. Ideally people will get checked regularly, but with the state of healthcare in the USA, we know that does not happen.

I thought his point was that the forms are memories of the divine because the material world does not provide such forms. You leave the cave when you stop being dominated by your senses and use your reason to apprehend universals.
It’s interesting.

This gigantic legislation is misconceived at the same time I think it’s easy to see why it has been deemed electorally popular enough for the government to proceed with.

Tech companies do not provide a carriage service. It’s something more than that. The behaviours they permitted, and even encouraged, on their platforms have incurred large amounts of harm on individuals and society as a whole.

There can be no compromise on the government with encryption but they are able to do this because online companies are yet to figure out how to best protect the vulnerable that use their services.

With that said I think the existence of the unregulated internet was likely anomalous. If ever you wanted privacy, you always have had to ensure the only two beings with access to the information communicated were yourself and the intended recipient. Is it really possible for a society to permit the existence of any large organisation for private communication without eavesdropping?
Bing, Rumble, Apple, Apple Maps?
The whole philosophical backing of both "freedom of speech" and "innocent until proven guilty" is that the government doesn't itself have civil rights, only the rights explicitly outlined to it in the founding documents of that government (e.g. US Constitution).

Once you venture into private parties evaluating other private parties, you encounter a collision of rights. It's still freedom of speech and association to not want to do business with certain people, and as long as those certain people aren't of a protected class, this falls well within the moral concepts of both free speech and presumption of innocence.
> The problem is you cannot mark individual messages as read, for a given consumer&partition you can only update the offset for a partition.

Hence "smart clients". If you MUST process every message at least once, you will anyway be tracking messages individually on the client (e.g. a DB or file system plus logic for idempotent message processing) and thus disable auto-offset commits back to the cluster for your consumer.

RabbitMQ says "let me track this for you", Kafka says "you already need to track this so why duplicate the data in the cluster and complicate the protocol".

If you don't have reliable persistent storage available and insist on using the Kafka cluster to track offsets, you can track processed offsets in memory and whenever your lowest processed offset moves forward, you have your consumer commit that offset manually as part of its message loop.

If your service restarts your downstream commands need to be idempotent of course because you will reconsume messages you may have previously processed, but this would be the case regardless of Kafka or RabbitMQ unless you're using distributed transactions (yuck).

> If a certain message processing takes very long, all other messages in that partition will have to wait.

You can stream messages into a buffer and process them in parallel, and commit the low watermark offset whenever it changes, as described above. I've implemented this in .NET with Channels and saturate the CPUs with no problem.
People are free to leave at any time, yet the city has a population of almost 2.3 million. Not bad for a "destroyed" city.
A sufficiently large nuclear war will substantially reduce the population, but not eliminate it.

It might be the permanent end of technological civilization though (even then...)

Had to stop reading when the OP mentioned "climate pessimists" especially after the last few years of events we've had. We're barreling towards 3C with very little to no mitigation in sight. Today's "well it isn't as bad as we predicted 10 years ago" (it's actually worse) was yesterday's "well fine but humans aren't impacting the climate" and before that was "the climate isn't changing," and I don't know if this author falls into that umbrella, but it did not make me interested to read more.
I don't know that its considered a "design mistake". It is not without flaws, but it does make it extremely simple to implement. Its a very acceptable point as a tradeoff between simplicity and performance. Will certainly love to implement NFS4, or even SMB3 at some point though.
If you have tests and they break with GOEXPERIMENT=loopvar, then there is a new tool that will tell you exactly which loop is causing the breakage. That's a post for a few weeks from now.
That's a great submission but the convention of linking to previous threads is to only include the ones with meaningful comments.

But I've added it to the list of candidates to invite a repost for, and if you want to email hn@ycombinator.com and remind us after enough time has gone by (say a few months, to let the hivemind caches clear), we'll be happy to do that. Invited reposts go in the second-chance pool (https://news.ycombinator.com/pool, explained at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26998308), so they get a random placement on HN's front page.
This is not necessarily correct. Tasks can be run in a "fire-and-forget" way. Also, only synchronous prelude of the task is executed inline in .NET.

The continuation will then be ran on threadpool worker thread (unless you override task scheduler and continuation context).

Also, you can create multiple tasks in a method and then await their results later down the execution path when you actually need it, easily achieving concurrency.

Green threads is a more limited solution focused first and foremost on solving blocking.
I have a (now retired) relative who spent a majority of his career as a high-level MSFT exec, and he knew a lot of the OG Xbox guys. As a kid in the early 2000s who grew up with Nintendo consoles, I asked him over the years more than once why there was no effort to purchase Nintendo.

His answer every time was a simple "the Japanese corporate culture and the American corporate culture have differences in ways that money simply cannot overcome"

YouTube is like HR - they are there to protect the company and the company's revenue streams, not you or "the community".

This is why I think the term "community guidelines" for "censorship policy" is such abusive gaslighting. It's unilateral censorship, not community, and they are rules, not guidelines.

It's the same deceptive drive that renamed "searching your bag" to "security screening" at airports.
That's not meaningfully any better. Besides, now you have an AI empire against the Sentinel Island tribe, and I know who I'd bet on.

Referral to YC and increasing odds of an interview
I've heard you can be referred to YC and it helps your application odds of an interview. Is this true? I know quite a few YC alums but never considered this.
It's not crazy. It's just the difference between a pointer and a value, which is like comp sci 101.

I think the main things that make it such a trap is that the variable type definition is implicit so the fact that it's a pointer becomes a bit hidden, and that easy concurrency means the value is evaluated outside of the loop execution more often.
Yup, and as a result, nobody wants to actually treat it as the digital currency that it was originally set out to be.

Anybody who truly thinks Bitcoin could hit $100K value certainly doesn't want to spend them.
When YouTube does this it means that they tacitly endorse the behaviour of everyone who is currently monetised at the moment. I’m sure it would be easy to find many monetised channels with similar allegations as well as people who have actually been convicted of crimes.

Edit: for example, someone like Chris Brown is convicted of domestic abuse as well as accused of many other incidents. He appears to be monetised on youtube.

>If a creator's off-platform behaviour harms our users, employees or ecosystem, we take action.

So why does this apply to Russell Brand but not to Chris Brown who is convicted of violence against another YouTube user? It must mean that youtuber endorses the behaviour and criminal activity of Chris Brown.
Copying a mutex by value (thus duplicating the lock, causing deadlocks or worse) is far too easy
Again, only a tiny fraction of a civilization needs to be motivated to expand for a civilization effectively be a fully expanding civilization.

1/1,000, 1/1,000,000 ... it doesn't matter how small the fraction is to start.

Affluence in humans vastly increases consumption. By several orders of magnitude. Billionaires enjoy jets, yachts, and build companies that use vast resources to accomplish new things.

AI isn't going to be concerned about human lifetimes. 20 years to the nearest star for a laser sail ship smaller than a human takes physics we have now. For nano tech that would be a massive ship.

If you want a teleological argument, here is one: Life expands by colonizing and adapting to new environments and inventing new capabilities. Then expanding and adapting over and over again in response to each wave of change. Life expanding across the galaxy will produce beauty and complexity we can't imagine.
> Social media companies may no longer promote or suppress content; they can only provide tools to let users do so themselves (eg filter/block/subscribe/tag)

Users don’t want the responsibility of filtering out CP, gore, sexual violence, etc. I would bet the average user actively wants that content suppressed. Just look at any of the cases of social media moderators developing PTSD from their work.
You do not need to be an expert in something's internal workings to manage/monitor a deployment. Surely this does not need to be explained further.
His decent into outrage-bait, alt-right friendly nonsense struck me as abrupt. One minute his channel was reasonable enough, the next it was totally nuts.

Part of me wonders whether this was calculated once he knew that a major expose was circling. I have zero evidence for this, but you can see the logic. Court a following that is sceptical of everything, and that will see an investigation by the 'mainstream media' as obvious evidence of some deep state conspiracy. You now have an army of cheerleaders, and an alternative renevue source, ready to wage war with.
Also we population bottlenecked in our evolutionary history before: so recovering from that is possible.
Absolutely. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of the major VPN providers already has back doors for the NSA and GCHQ. Looking at you NordVPN
Speed and size. But as speed generally is high (11-72 km/s) [1] then size matters more. Anything hitting you at km/s that survives the journey through the atmosphere is going to hurt I think. :)

That's also why I'm suspicious of the long term profitability of the whole thing. Most developed countries where the customers are richer also have some pretty good infrastructure and the rest likely couldn't afford the expensive service.

You are then left with all the exceptions to those general rules and I'm not sure that's enough to cover the very expensive cost of the platform.
Not to nearly the same extent as when they're carrying a 3,000 pound vehicle down miles and miles of rough asphalt, no.
A simple program can destroy earth if people are stupid enough like automating nuclear attacks. The issue is that even if you are stupid you don’t have the physical means to get near it. Like what this article says all the “what ifs” require extremely hard to get near physical things and is also gated by how expensive or technically hard it is. The chances seem extremely low even if there is AGI because of physical constraints, even if mental constraints disappear
Moderation against abuse of your own system is fine, that's given. Even electricity companies will go after you if you abuse their grid but they won't care what kind of videos you film using their electricity.

However I don't think that YouTube should decide what's hate speech and ban it. If that speech is illegal, the law enforcement should find the person. Maybe it can be acceptable to let the law enforcement delete videos but that's also risky because that's how you can get speech suppression when the government isn't very good.

So I decided to do a bit of research:

* VodafoneZiggo has 40-45% of the home market, but also 25-30% of the business market and 20-25% of the mobile market [1]. They seem to offer IPv6 on their home and business connections, but not on their mobile connections [2, 3, 4].

* KPN (35-40% home/biz, 25-30% mobile): IPv6 for homes (except older modem types) and mobiles, but not by default for businesses [5, 6].

* Odido [ex T-Mobile] (30-35% mobile, 5-10% home/biz): no IPv6 across the board [7, 8].

* Eurofiber (20-25% biz): has IPv6 [9].

* Delta (5-10% home): no IPv6 [10].

* Unspecified smaller ISPs (0-5% home/biz, 10-15% mobile): unknown.

* Finally, a number of wholesale access providers, where the customer presumably has a say in IPv6 support.

This works out to 75-90% IPv6 in homes, 45-60% in businesses (ignoring wholesale) and only 35-45% for mobiles.

So, the mystery is not solved, because this data still doesn’t support Google’s 13% figure…

If HIV was more easily transmissible — like with COVID — the human race would have been mostly (99%) wiped out by the 1970s or 80s at the latest.

I didn’t see a single mention of economic risk, obsolescence, or jobs. It seems like 99.9% of humans being useless mouths to feed is not a concern for x-risk folks so long as the 0.1% are still around.

Rather than being a vague, hard to imagine threat like an omniscient robot which for some reason is smart enough to build planet-to-paperclip factories but not smart enough to understand that’s not what humans would want, economic obsolescence isn’t just a known threat, it’s all but certain. Maybe it’s less exciting for the Bostrom class to think about, but it’s far more practical.
