That they committed genocide. I think one of the worst aspects of (human nature? Dominant culture? I don't know why people think this way) is that people somehow cannot internalize the concept that a person can be both a victim and a perpetrator. You're either one or the other, never both.

This issue is especially acute when it comes to colonialism. It's so bad that it robs people of agency. Victims of colonialism are practically infantilized by the very people who are supposed to be defending them.

Disappointing, but not particularly surprising. Anyone from New Zealand would be familiar with "what about the Moriori" being almost exclusively mentioned as a way to downplay the harm caused by European colonization rather than as any sort of genuine historical curiosity.
My other favorite is when corporate comms or HR sends out some calendar invite to a massive number of people, does not use bcc, and then the server crashes when folks go in to the accepted invite on their calendar and you get thousands of calls to 'check availability' flood in.

I doubt this would work (at least with the current version of GPT4). I tried the same thing last week (Swift to Kotlin) and there were so many errors the whole exercise was pointless. Claude fared better, but I wouldn’t bother doing it again.
I don't see it? Could you link to something specific?
There's been other research that suggests that the Moriori were actually Māori. At which point is it genocide or just in fighting?
Sure, if you're talking about Narnia.
>Note how the story linked therein [1] minimizes the genocide by calling it a "myth"

What they're calling a myth is the idea that Moriori were a pre-Maori race, not that there was a genocide.

> Bing is obnoxious, and it's asking me to cognitively process 100 different things other than the only thing I care about: my search results.

Google (privacy issues aside) is terrible in that regard as well. I just compared Bing, Google and DDG (https://duck.com) for a random query "c++ headers".

On my current resolution and scale (1980x1080, 125%) I can only see 1 result on Bing and Google before having to scroll. The rest of the screen is filled with inline answers and other irrelevant content designed to keep you on their site.

DDG on the other hand reminds me of the very old Google days, 4 results, no busy layout and when there are ads they're unobtrusive and clearly labeled.

All my devices and browsers are actively not using Google. The only Alphabet property I begrudgingly use for personal reasons nowadays is YouTube and the UI/UX there makes me run to TikTok after short sessions.

Honestly, between ChatGPT, site specific searches I rarely need to use a search engine to begin with, and when I do it's DDG for its layout and quality results.
Google search has been going downhill.
The Stanford campus is not exactly space-constrained
I’m a bit overwhelmed with the pushback on this point. The fact that axioms are, again, by definition arbitrary, should be anything but controversial.

The axioms of Euclidean geometry are very obviously arbitrary, in that, we can create other forms of geometries should we choose to. The fact that we are attempting, with Euclidean geometry, to create a model of the phenomena we experience is good and useful, but that does not change the fact that we could create a geometry of any other fashion, to map to any other phenomena we could imagine.

If we found that all minds feel the same with regard to an ethical mapping we created (I see this as Chomsky’s point) then we have effectively created a physics of ethics. The problem is that it is quite obvious that this is not the world we live in. In fact, if it were, I would hardly think we would have much disagreement about anything of moral substance.

Thus, we are living in a world where two people measure the same geometric line, and find two different results, form two different axioms to model their measurements, and then try to enforce their measurements with threats of violence.

Again, I consider myself a fairly ethical person, I have an moral theory, I just don’t pretend that my theory can be universalizable, and don’t think that moral judgments, in a philosophical sense, have much foundation. The reason I fight for what I fight for is that I feel that doing what we can to help each other is the way we should live. I just know there are plenty of people who will inherently disagree, and there is little way to reason with them.

I’m not a moral relativist in that sense, I just refuse to pretend that I can create an ethical theory in any moral sense beyond what makes good sense to me.
In South America a lot of tribes were just absorbed without warfare, they joined together because it made financial sense. The Inca were well known for it.
I've come across this article before, and like all the other ones I've found that talk about a "Moriori myth" they seem to be creating and attacking a strawman: principally, the idea that the Moriori were the first inhabitants of New Zealand proper, rather than the Chatham Islands. That (incorrect) claim is nowhere in the original post here, or the Wikipedia page on the Moriori, but by knocking it down vigorously and then quickly eliding over the details of the genocide ("...yes, some Māori did kill some Moriori...but to attribute this to all Māori is wrong, and if you find yourself wanting to do it you should question your motives in doing so", which reads as another strawman: who is blaming ALL Maori?) the impression is given to casual readers that the historiography is wrong and the genocide never happened.

> I define hunger as the ideal signal that corresponds exactly to the extent of starvation.

If you redefine words how you please you can prove anything. What's the point tho?

> What do you consider hunger?

The feeling I sometimes get that I should eat something. It's VERY subjective (for example when I'm fasting I can go a few days without it, but when I'm not - I get it just cause I'm bored and haven't eaten a breakfast).
Not yet, but you can pre-order them from some vendors. The 4 and 8gb models should ship in October.

FWIW, the Pi 4 and Pi Zero W are both fairly available these days. The Zero 2 W is still in short supply, but aside from that, the shortage is basically over.

> Senate staff were instructed to respond to the email, which outlined a potential threat for the drill, with their status and location on Capitol Hill or off campus. But the thousands of simultaneous reply-alls that ensued first clogged up inboxes before staff were unable to get into their inboxes altogether.

That's why we test! Imagine if that happened during an actual crisis. Give them a break - that's the point of testing, to discover these glitches.

Note that another negative outcome is that high value targets (e.g., Schumer and McConnell) are emailing every Senate employee with their location, not to mention the email chain also provides aggregated information on where crowds of targets can be found.

Also, email ain't so secure. A sophisticated enemy - and I'm pretty sure the US government actually has some of those - would love that information. Heck, you can find locations just by locating mail traffic.

I've seen firsthand, as a non-Indian, what caste discrimination does in a corporate environment. Qualified and hard working lower caste co-workers never get promoted but got all the work to support weak higher caste managers and their promotions. They were used and disposed and if they didn't like it, they were moved on.

What is rarely ever pointed out is that as Brahmins reach higher and higher levels of management, they surround themselves with other Brahmins exclusively; they only hire or promote other Brahmins for higher management posts. Non-Brahmins AND non-Indians are pushed aside to make way.

If you think this caste issue doesn't affect you, it already does or it will in the future.
That might be a strawman in the context of actual historians, but in the context of your racist uncle spewing horseshit at the family barbecue the idea that "actually the Moriori were here first and the Maori killed them therefore European colonists did absolutely nothing wrong" is an extremely common take that does need to be debunked.

If you were on HN a decade ago, you would have seen "pivot" all over the place. Times change, but we are still human (mostly) and it seems to be part of who we are to mold language to fit our needs and circumstances.

Take "bipping," a word I had never seen before a month ago, but that is now all over the place. (At least in some communities in the Bay Area; I guess all the car break-ins helped it's adoption).
Mastodon/Fedi doesn't need Threads to "save" it. I'm curious about the rationale behind this framing. It's growing well on its own, without some giant corporate backer. Many instances have already pledged to block Threads once they do enable federation to guard against data scraping and EEE.
Furthermore, what is this kind of chart called? How was it laid out? Is it a one off manual kinda deal.

Does this even have any advantages over a pie chart? IIRC people are not good at judging relative area at all, even circles. How much does un-wedging the pie help?

At least with a pie chart you can try to compare arc length which may be easier?
> Password managers are almost impossible to use for the average person

Hardly my mother and Partner both quickly picked up and understood Keepass with little prompting beyond me opening it for them and telling them it's a file on their computer just like a word document.

If anything they have always had issues with browser password saving methods simply because it's trying to be "too smart" i.e. auto filling and suggesting passwords based on the url and only showing the username, which is always the same email address so that's less than helpful.

Those two services are subsidized by state governments- Vermont for both, plus AIUI Connecticut for the Vermonter and New York for the Ethan Allen Express.

This also means that there are very cheap fares on those trains within Vermont, and I've sometimes noticed that it's actually cheaper to buy a ticket from DC to a station in Vermont than to buy one to New Haven.

Or could just use a phone/tablet as a "viewport". I know it wouldn't be as immersive but the barrier to have it adopted would be a lot lower.

That's an exaggeration. Airlines will tell you to arrive at the airport 2 hours before your flight but if you're a bit organized, check in online, know what you can and can't pack in your carry-on, I'd say 90 minutes is fine. I usually end up sitting at the gate for about an hour waiting for boarding if I arrive 2 hours in advance.

Even so, a flight from Chicago to San Francisco is a little over 4 hours in the air. A train takes 2 days. There is no comparison.
What native tribes did to one another was still nothing compared to the scale of what Europeans did to them.

And one doesn't justify the other. If I break into your house, kill your family and steal everything not nailed down, including your youngest kid who I raise as my own, and the bones of your dead aunt that I put in a window display, I can't justify that by pointing out that you got into a fight with a kid in high school one time and once stole a pair of sunglasses from the Wal-Mart.
I don't think moral progress necessarily implies an objective morality. We can't be working towards something we can't know about. We just happen to be walking towards it, or not. What we feel to be moral progress isn't a statement about our discovering an objective morality but rather a social consensus based on, as you say, greater knowledge and altered perspective. Moral progress is the idea of an expansion of collective understanding and acceptance of moral beliefs/axioms.

Nah, toxicity is targeting a non-public figure for abuse or committing doxing. Toxicity is advocating for violence or other crime. It's a replying to a post with targeted insults rather than reasoned disagreement. It's racism and obvious sexism. You could summarize it as simple human decency.

The majority of us can agree on these standards. Despite that, I see plenty of people violate them across the political spectrum. It shouldn't be tolerated or respected, but you can hold a wide range of political beliefs without crossing that line.

One way to find out: find job listings, apply for some jobs, and see what happens. A GitHub profile with lots of personal projects is a good thing to have. Learn from any feedback you get.

P.S. GitHub's "Available for hire" checkbox is deprecated, but I suppose you could still write something to that effect in your GitHub Profile Bio (a textarea). Also put that in your other online profiles as you see fit.

P.P.S. There are many sites/services that specifically aim to help coders get jobs, including training and help with interview prep. For example, see https://www.codecademy.com/pages/career-services and HackerRank.
Is that your standard? So long as they own the same domain name, you won't notice any change of ownership, rebranding, or degradation of service?

Firstly, the myth. You’ve heard it before. There were a pre-Māori people in New Zealand, called the Moriori. When Māori arrived in the country they set about obliterating these peaceful Moriori inhabitants until not a single Moriori remained alive.

That's what the article opens with. It proceeds to claim the entire genocide involved only 300 deaths.
Changes to Hosting on Replit
Honestly I tried to read as much of that as I could (starting after the long descriptions of their projects) and I struggled to understand the issue. Is it that the development team of VCV are bad as maintaining the online platform for VCV modules. Does one have to host them there or can they host them elsewhere? I’m confused!

Are there no other implementations of the VCV backend that these
Modules could run in? I thought there was a fork (cardinal?).

I’ve used a bit of VCV (though more of a reaktor and bitwig grid user myself) and had a great time! I have never looked at the online communities though.
In exactly the same way that they hold and transact in Bitcoins.
I thought it (CM1) was a turd when I worked on it as a grad student. Looked cool though.

I would go to conferences where people would proudly present their algorithm getting 1MFLOP. Parallel programming was hard then and it is hard now. SIMD made it even harder.

CM2 was a little better since it was easier to get better performance, but we had some of the first machines and stability was not good. I think multiple sites where told they would have the first and TM shipped to them all in pieces simultaneously, so technically they all had the "first" machine. Smart guys.

Still CM-2 was better than the ETA-10 we had. Cray-2 was great.
You are arguing with a straw man. Your link is specifically addressing a myth that the moriori were pre-maori inhabitants of New Zealand. But the link in this post makes no such claim, and, in fact, clearly states that there were no known human inhabitants prior to the maori.

> Discord is just treated as the sum repository of all for way too many people.

The barrier of entry of asking and answering questions on a Discord is very low. Setting up a forum, that's needs a bit of effort, not to mention hosting, and on-going headache of spam and liability.

I mean, I'm really interested in Audio Description, but there is no forum for discussing the nuts and bolts, issues, research, advocacy etc. Conversely there are AD groups on Twitter, Facebook, Linkd In, Discord and a few more besides.

- PiHole

I’m excited to try using the new Pi for a more comprehensive option for a retro arcade including many games that didn’t run very well for me last time I tried. (I instead used a home-built small PC)
You are correct. At about Luna-mass, then it is hotter than the 3K cosmic background. If it is heavy enough to be a 9P candidate, it would be colder than 3K. You couldn't detect by temp.

You'd have to look for a very precise spike in the EM spectrum at the electron-position annihilation energy equivalent.

Despite being raised on space opera and hard-sf and having a science degree, I am pretty bearish on most space exploration. Having said that, a nearby black hole wouldn't merely be nifty. For reasons we do not understand, the event horizon stops honoring conservation of baryon number (and lepton number, and other numbers). I consider this important because replication of that would allow for direct conversion of uncharged mass to energy, just as any neutral particle crossing the event horizon has its energy (eventually) returned to us. If Hawking radiation is true (we have yet to experimentally verify it), then we know that mechanism exists. Can we do it without a black hole?
This severely downplays the whole European colonialism aspect of the situation - the author seems somewhat biased and the whole article is written in a way that paints all Māori people as villains. This was only a couple iwi, and while the genocide was terrible, the author is trying to spin it to make all Māori seem evil.
Worth mentioning Raspberry Pis are designed, and in most cases built and assembled, in the UK.
