HN has official moderators, though only one person who comments directly within threads, dang. I'm not a moderator or staff, just a somewhat-too-active participant.

And as dang freely notes, mods don't see everything: <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37225175>. HN depends on community members establishing and communicating standards, not just official mods.

Dang occasionally thanks members for pointing out guidelines to others, so I'm presuming my practice is acceptable: <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37602788> (The appreciation is often couched in terms of how to better accomplish the task, as here, but the key is "thanks for watching out for the HN guidelines".

I'm not telling you to keep your mouth shut. I'm telling you what HN's guidelines are. Which are generally helpful to heed to participate constructively with the forum, one of the best on today's Internet.

<https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html>

And you'll find that "don't feed the trolls" is an rather common moderator request, with 284 instances at this writing: <https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...>

If you've additional concerns, you can email mods at hn@ycombinator.com. I've found they're responsive, patient, and clear, even where I disagree with them considerably or have complex concerns.

Another useful guideline to keep in mind: <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35403096>

Wow! That's a lot. But are they something that it's intrinsically difficult to understand or is it more like "yeah sure I can follow the definitions and such and maybe a theorem or two, but why is this important at all?"

> The term “late stage capitalism” drives me nuts

I was feeling much the same, but you've just made me realise how similar this is to "the dawning of the new age of Aquarius".
See https://philpapers.org/browse/panpsychism for some recent philosophical papers on panpsychism.

To quote Prof. Galen Strawson from one of those papers:

> "Panpsychism is a plausible theory of the fundamental nature of reality. It is fully compatible with everything in current physics, and with physicalism."
They're saying the schools accept (measure) applicants on both their academic and sporting prowess. I believe they are suggesting that, if a child is not very academic, a parent may try to get their child into a prestigious school by "encouraging" them in sports.
Better decoding time performance, I should have said. The use of 2nd-order context model indeed makes Brotli more efficient in compression ratio for many kinds of data.
If you want to see how this works in realtime on a more digestible scale, watch how Hollywood works. One day it’ll be “We need our own John Wick” and then it’ll be “we need a Top Gun!”

Humans are fickle and will do whatever to chase a buck. Nothing new there. You can day-trade the latest trend and sure you might make a buck - but typically the social, repetitional, and personal cost isn’t worth it.

I think what is new is that people are now realizing that it is so widespread across many institutions thanks to the internet. The trick is to not let yourself get caught up in brutally short hypecycles and to not get used by people who are – including the VCs.

Slow is smooth is fast. Chase the multiplier, not the moment.
Final nail in the coffin. I guess this will be the time I cancel prime.
I wasn't sure because this never bothered me so I did a little experiment by searching for

"does it warn about mispellings"

(Note the intentional misspelling above.)

And here is the result:

We haven’t found anything.
There are no results that match all your keywords exactly.
Check your spelling, try different keywords, or try without quotes:
does it warn about mispellings

Edit: I then tried to repeat the experiment with only one misspelled word which was harder because misspelled is misspelled in several different ways across the web, so the first most realistic misspellings actually returned real results.

When I came as far as "mixspeling" however it came back with the same result as the one I pasted in above.

Sometimes my arm hurts just replicating some of their pitches in slow motion. I have a long held belief that the most talented pitchers of all time never made it to pro ball for exactly this reason. A less commonly acknowledged attribute is being enough of a genetic freak that one's arm doesn't slag out.
There’s nothing new with content needed every day. The evening news isn’t an hour long everyday because there’s an hour’s worth of important happenings everyday. The networks will create news to fill the airtime or drop relatively important stuff to match the time.

Newspapers are a little but better in that in times of big news, they will expand. But on the slowest of news days the NYT will still publish enough articles to space out their advertising.
They gave them the propaganda number.

Maybe this project shouldn't result in a graphical browser. I still think there's value in text-based browsing, in the line of Lynx. I would think there's a higher probability of creating something really useful if you were to go that route.

Aren't most of those before "the album" (Stop Making Sense)? Only Little Creatures, True Stories, and Naked really came after.

All of these albums have their moments, but there's an argument that the quality is in the early years, and later on they didn't have "full album quality".

> Speaking in Tongues[3] had bright spots, but also some crappy songs too

I was shocked by this statement, and looked back at the track list. I only found one song that I didn't remember as top notch.

Their early albums were known for being great from start to finish, but this is an insanely high bar for an album. Many talented artists never get one album like that. They certainly go for years and years, decades even, releasing albums with 1-3 good songs.

I feel like there's quite a large number that only release one good song for album, and basically seem to know it.
It’s literally the only thing any of us know for sure is real
I do agree with the broad premise that we have a glut of content. AI is only going to make it worse.

The problem with your argument is that most people love the mostly forgettable noise and variation on the same theme. That's why there are 137 Marvel movies which were all huge hits, 42 different Star Wars productions going on right now, and Gordon Ramsey has 13 simultaneous shows. (Warning: made up numbers).

Most people don't want to think when they watch movies. They don't want high concept indie flicks. That's why Netflix and Amazon are huge and Mubi and Criterion Channel aren't.
Hi Nigel, Thanks for interjecting (and of course Thanks for WUFFS). I'm glad to hear that WebP is "on the Roadmap" but I think this sort of work ought to have been considered by vendors as a must-have, high priority project, rather than being sort of vaguely welcomed sideshow that's not on their critical path.

Yes, I actually think that the choice to unequivocally prove safety rather than to attempt to prove that you implemented something specific (but with the risk that our specification is wrong), is almost invariably the right choice for this problem space. It would not have been appropriate for the TLS 1.3 protocol (which has a machine proof that it satisfies our intended criteria stated in the RFC, modulo the Selfie attack and assuming our cryptographic primitives all do what they said they do), but it's exactly the right thing for say a DOCX parser, or ZIP parser, or a JPEG compressor or similar for which WUFFS is the right choice.
Yes, and the next step is that the vendor will sue researchers for posting CVEs which they consider "bogus", accusing them of hurting their business.

It's not so much as open source becomes a liability, but rather "well known", whether open or not, becomes a liability. If you pull a random json library from github that does not even appear on any vulnerability database then you will probably be fine.
> Animal 15 began to lose coordination, and staff observed that she would shake uncontrollably when she saw lab workers.
It's called "late stage capitalism" because we're moving out of capitalism and into a techno-feudalism.

And instead of feudalist manors and city-states, it's feudalist gentries of tech companies that can exert their control technologically rather than with state-sanctiondd violence.
You are the one making that grouping to discredit it. Nobody else is.

I can do the same, String Theory is not respectable, it is as provable as having a soul or there is a flat earth.
Does me saying this now undermine String Theory? That's just some guy on the internet that doesn't understand it. Like you don't understand Panpsychim.
Ok, how would you write a computer program or train a neural network to experience that illusion?

When a program executes, it follows a strictly "mechanical" procedure. There doesn't seem to be much room for consciousness or the "experiencing" of illusions.

How is it that our brains are capable of experiencing the "illusion" of consciousness?
As I was previously involved with Red Hats platform (I can't speak for the java stuff) up until about a year ago.

There was specific requirements to correctly understand and identify a flaw, I had disputed over 100 CVEs and corrected mitre's scoring of over 300.

Are you considering this situation in your site, when vendors (such as Red Hat) dispute a CVE or disagree with a score ?
OK, but am I the only one finding Kagi "super" slow comparing to other search engines? It takes like a good full second to load the results…
> Feel free to push back in a way you feel is more effective, but I think it's worth it even if it only improves the author's mood.

Yeah, I think (hope?) it will be good for them. Just weird to frame taking up a hobby as "pushing back".
> i want to know more about the underlying technical challenges.

I applaud this fundamental curiosity. We don't want a world where technologies that people use (must use) every day are opaque, proprietary solutions that spy on us.

Yet that is exactly what we have in the most popular Web browser.

I recommend RSS or just to scrape Web content (Python and Perl do this well) and read the bits that are interesting to you.
While this is true, Netflix hiked prices massively over the years. Their 4K/HDR offering is 17.99 EUR per month here. Amazon Prime including Prime Video is still 8.99 EUR/month, cheaper if paid yearly, without any surcharge for 4K/HDR. So that's more than twice the price for a comparable streaming service.
Yes, Dutchman here. It seems to intuitively understand when you want local results vs. international. When it doesn't, you can easily toggle above the search results. I'm never looking back.
The fundamental point blockchain fans miss is that most people don’t mind having centralized trusted entities. The fact that humans can intervene to change the owner of a domain name is a feature, not a bug, at least in non-authoritarian countries.
I don't know him but most of his GitHub activity seems to be contributing to the ClickHouse ecosystem, including popular projects like this one: https://github.com/Altinity/clickhouse-operator

My point is just that he doesn't appear to be someone complaining and not contributing.
They obviously have the advantage of people having Prime for deliveries and the inertia required to change shopping habits.

Like you, I think this is a step too far and I will gladly suffer the inconvenience of buying stuff from other retailers in the future.
That's fair, but largely unrelated. Neither webcams nor phones tend to have super high quality mics. It is best to get a standalone mic to improve quality, or even just high quality bluetooth headphones.

But the builtin camera on phones is a huge area of attention for them. They tend to be amazingly high quality to the point of being overkill as a webcam.
The capitalists are now just a step away from their doom, that's why it's called "late stage".

It blows my mind how big a deal argument parsing is in legacy scripting languages (including python).

That snippet is concise, but relies on the user supplying arguments in the order you demand. AFAICS, non-trivial scripts require you to loop over arguments, testing against long and short forms of parameters, and shifting if the parameter expects an argument.

In Powershell, you define your parameter and apply constraints. Voila:

[Parameter(Mandatory)]
[ValidateRange(1, 20)]
[int]$foo

That's it, the entire thing, done.

Should Neuralink's work prove to be successful, and they were later able to restore movement to otherwise paralyzed humans, would you still feel the same way?

It seems that you value the lives of monkeys very highly, which is understandable. Is there an amount of human suffering which could be avoided which could justify the loss of macaques?

I don't know if there's a definite answer. I think the moral question of accepting the deaths of animals for purposes of humanity's comfort is one we've debated for millennia now.

Here’s an example of a bogus CVE in the GNU C Library: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2023-0687

That CVE is correct that the “gmon” component of glibc contains memory corruption bugs. In fact, I managed to find even more than the specific one that CVE is about.

But, the claim that this is a security vulnerability is a bit silly. These are profiler functions, which are usually only called in non-production builds with profiling enabled (gcc -pg), and even then only from CRT startup code. It is rather unlikely an attacker can exploit any of these bugs in them without already having the ability to run arbitrary code in the process, at which point they don’t need these functions, they’ve already got all these bugs have to give them.

Is this a new thing? When was the pitch clock introduced? The article doesn't say.

Sounds very similar to the knees and other parts of cricket fast bowlers. They get up to top sprinting speed then come to an immediate halt at the crease to deliver the ball at 90+ mph while keeping their arm straight, like a human trebuchet.

Only one pace bowler in the history of the game seems to have cracked it, James Anderson, now 41yo and still playing, though he bowls closer to the 82-85mph mark.

Ugh. That’s a pet peeve of mine. There are a fair number of farms to the west of me that once had passable farm roads. They’ve since been sold to developers who put up gated communities. So now you have to go around the whole development. None of these are high traffic areas - they aren’t preventing unsafe or noisy traffic, just being selfish.
Interesting in that once consumers get a taste of an ad-free platform, forever will they wish to return. Ads may be the only way media content as a business makes any money but this really is more telling of where Prime is today. They are losing money. I refuse to watch ads. I block them on all my devices. I don’t watch networks and content that has them. I’ve had a taste of an ad free world and I will do everything in my power to return. If I have a need for something, I’ll research. I would rather go back to pirating content than $20/mo for “limited ads”. It’s fucking Cable all over again.

> You've debunked nothing.

So that's why you continue to move the goal posts.

Let's remind ourselves of how you're coping so far with the evidence against your claims and denials(s):

Claim 1: "No. NFTs are useless for ticketing systems for reasons immediately obvious if you ever stop and think about it."

Reality: Gave examples of several companies currently using them, all with links for everyone to see.

Claim 2: "As with all these announcements they are scrapped and thrown into trash just a year or two later."

Reality: Gave another example of a company that deployed its solution a year ago and is still available today and another company founded 3 - 4 years ago (2019) still using NFT tickets as their solution today.

And finally the biggest denial I've seen so far after presenting the links:

Denial: "You've shown a few companies that jumped on the hype train (well, onto a well departed hype train) and are pretending that NFTs (or blockchains in general) are at all usable for ticket sales."

Reality: Sure they are 'pretending'. /s After partnering with multiple blockchain companies [0] [1] to actually build the solution which exists today right now and are indeed still using NFTs as tickets. Once again, totally debunking whatever you just said.

> Yo want an intelligent discussion? Then riddle me this:

You have now just told me that you haven't even looked at the links at all, which leads me to believe that you need more time to look at them again. Since the solution(s) presented never was a complete and total replacing towards a fully decentralized system (otherwise that would be absolutist), as your so-called questions are insinuating given your overuse of 'centralized entities'.

It is clearly an enhancement to assist with combating fraud and verification, such that the myth of the so-called 'rigorous' KYC falls flat since these KYC accounts can be bought on dark markets and faked.

You really need to detach your statements from absolutism.

> And that's before we get into the hundreds of use cases in ticketing that "we sell one ticket to one person for one event" doesn't even begin to cover.

That exact problem is solved with a NFT variant of a 'soul-bound' non-transferrable NFT. Buy one NFT ticket, sent to one person for that specific event.

> But sure, do tell me how NFTs are so extremely suitable unlike anything else we had before and how companies jupmed on the departing NFT train because NFTs are suitable.

Well you haven't answered how many more goal posts you were going to move in your next reply?
