Since people keep saying he's a genocide denier, I'll drop this link here https://digitalcommons.usf.edu/gsp/vol14/iss1/8/ which explains that it's more a matter of semantics. He hasn't denied mass murders have taken place. He would probably also object to using either "terrorist" or "freedom fighter" since using these words emotively serves to obscure what's really going on.
How difficult would it be for a bot developer to write avoidance to such detection?
A more sustainable and eco friendly fuel option is to simply use high test hydrogen peroxide passed over a red hot catalyst. It decomposes to hydrogen and oxygen and water. What could go wrong?

It's too early to say whether this is an example of what not to do.

Elon hasn't realized any losses yet, while on paper the company may be worth less that game isn't over for him.

He hasn't done himself many favors by stirring up controversy with his own statements, but it isn't surprising that revenue for an ad-based business takes a hit when the brand is raked through the coals by a large enough group of people making noise. That could be one step towards it failing, or it could be one of many dips while the company is not rebranding itself and changing their business model.
That’s insane. It should not be possible for neighbors to force someone to move their business.
I really miss the old CS Source community server scene. Especially in the UK, there were university servers, old man servers, clan servers, all sorts. You'd join more for the banter over voice Comms than the game itself.

99% of the matchmade servers I join is people shouting at each other in Russian. It's so lonely I don't really enjoy playing anymore.

Where did everyone go?
Sounds a bit like Tony Hsieh, who got us all out to the bars in downtown Vegas in 2013 in the first place. Does seem like Zuck has healthier hobbies and a different sort of discipline.

That said, yes, the first time I met Tony he was sitting at a bar with a meat grinder, yes I spotted him swinging around Slim Jims in a mariachi suit atop a mecha grasshopper shooting flames out its mouth one time, but I guess I don't image he ever killed a mammal for no reason and served it cold to a vegetarian (he loved his llamas! RIP)
You're lying. It is true and a repeated decades long offense. He denies, when asked, each and every genocide that harms the reputation of socialism.

America’s broken system for classifying information
When W32/Blaster[0] came out I worked at a small ISP doing tech support and computer repair. A tech and I imaged an old box we had in the corner with a clean XP, assigned it a static IP in our /24, plugged it in and started a stopwatch. It didn’t even make it two minutes before it was infected.

A method to permanently activate Windows and Office based on the unique hardware ID was patched, however methods that require installation like KMS and KMS38 activators are still working. What HWID activators allowed was for activation to persist even after completely reinstalling Windows (provided it was connected to the Internet), as Microsoft would mistakenly believe that that install for the given hardware ID was genuinely activated.
I agree. That post about all of the pitfalls of YAML was very well written. My two cents: The best config format that I have used is JSON with C & C++-style comments allowed. Sure, dates and numbers (int vs float) are still a bit wobbly, but it is good enough for 99% of my needs.

Alder Lake N (N95, N100, etc) is built on a 7nm class process. Many of those systems could be considered SBCs (SoC/RAM/Storage is often all on a single board). Those CPUs are low end for x86, but much higher end than a typical ARM based SBC.

How do human groups glorifying immorality imply that there is no universal moral code? If the universal moral code exists outside of those groups, then it can be applied to their actions, and we can call them wrong for the thing they glorify.

Your very sentence implies a universal moral code. You are calling murder, slavery, and genocide wrong. By which standard do you know them to be wrong? Such a standard must necessarily exist outside of the groups that glorifies the things you correctly call abominations.

The point here is likely to pull the rug out from under scalpers' feet.

With the Raspberry Pi 5 out in two weeks, all the held-back inventory of older models will be dumped, prices will plummet, availability will become a non-issue.

In that sense it's a wise move.
>"limit who can influence" is a form of control.

Sure is, and govenments also control what kinds of goods can be sold to me, what kind of transport I may drive, places and buildings I may enter, and so on. Are you advocating for no government? Or are you saying that all (most?) of the controls they currently exert are ok, but they must allow completely free transfer of data in and out? If so, why is the internet so special?

>Why are you also qualifying "external" propaganda and misinformation?

Assuming I live somewhere half-decent, I have greater trust in the government and culture that I know.

>Can you define what source of misinformation you're okay with?

None, really, although defining "misinformation" gets very tricky when you start breaking it down to local specifics. After all, we all knowingly and unknowingly spread some form of misinformation just going about our lives. In any case, why is it a good idea to allow the world's misinformation in, in addition to what we have to sort through from a bloke in the pub / my town's micro-politics / my government's constant battle with the opposition party?
>Mesh WiFi is a scam and it is just common sense that it is. If you have multiple network hops you use more frequencies, not less, you get more latency, not less, you get more packet loss, not less. How could it be any other way?

For one, the mesh back haul could use a different frequency band than the WiFi network. The cheapest WiFi extenders and mesh systems don't do this, but some do. But it still would be better to have wired back haul.
I have the non-plus and have been pretty happy with it.

A lot more computing power than the Pi 4 and older home server it replaced. The M.2 slot was an absolute game changer. Real onboard storage is a must.

Initially the Chrome team was the opinion that adding Rust to Chrome would be a too big effort and thus focusing on better practices for C++ would be a better approach, hence Olipan, the C++ GC now introduced in V8.

Eventually about an year later they changed their mind, and are now allowing Rust for new code in Chrome, in a kind of baby steps.

Most likely, because as the report shows, no matter how carefully the code is written and reviewed, there are security flaws due to memory corruption sneaking in.

Static Site Generators are great as a concept, but shopping for one is really no fun, especially if you are an opinionated programmer (as I guess many of the target user group of SSGs are). You will likely find fault in every SSG on the market.

That's why I wrote my own, so that any fault I find is on myself.
Mandarin was just as inaccessible to speakers of other Sinitic languages without special training, but they do not appear to have been left behind in the literacy push, suggesting to me that it was pushing for mass literacy in the first place that did it (effectively providing the necessary special training), rather than the specific choice of language to push.

Don't forget that Vannevar Bush also inspired Douglas Engelbart (it saddened him that Bush would not accept his and his team's digital computer innovations). The Mother of All Demos, by Engelbart's Augmentation Research Center (ARC) group was far ahead of its time and was a major influence on all of modern computing. It was a major and more direct influence on Xerox PARC than the also influential "Libraries of the future".

Engelbart was primarily motivated by augmenting the human intellect [1].

> Increased capability in this respect is taken to mean a mixture of the following: more-rapid comprehension, better comprehension, the possibility of gaining a useful degree of comprehension in a situation that previously was too complex, speedier solutions, better solutions, and the possibility of finding solutions to problems that before seemed insolvable.

Licklider also wrote:

We have yet to realize the core vision laid forth in As We May Think and by other pioneers of modern computing. And if a certain group that thinks Tools for Augmenting Human Intellect are too dangerous to be spread widely has their way, we may never do so; at least not without first regressing for a substantially long time.

Ask HN: How does your company manage certifications?
Hello everyone.

I'm gathering information regarding how tech organizations, particularly those that outsource, manage professional certifications.
Could you kindly provide me some insight into your organization's procedures and customer demands, if you don't mind sharing?

I'm specifically searching for responses to the following questions:

1. What types of certifications does your company prioritize? Is there a specific emphasis on cloud computing, software architecture or engineering, project management, quality assurance, business analysis, or any other topics?

2. How many people in your company are pursuing or already have such certifications? (% of certified people is also great)

3. How does your company handle, maintain, and support certifications? Does it provide an incentive for employees to obtain them?

4. Have you observed a client preference or demand for specific certifications? Could you provide some instances if there is?

5. Do you believe there are any special certifications that provide significant benefits over competitors?

6. How do those certificates help businesses or client relationships?

Thank you in advance!
Just googled Carter Braxton, the TFA states

> Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader, saw his ships swept from the seas by the British Navy. He sold his home and properties to pay his debts, and died in rags.

Those debts seems to have been incurred after the signing. He was more a bad businessman than a victim of British oppression.

Use colours and graphical elements (generated graphs), but:

Obey rules of spacing more carefully than other rules to avoid overwhelming.

Do not use colours unless signalling information, so users can be alert and relaxed when needed.

As soon as you have more than 2 types of information, have expanding panels, which remember whether the user expanded/collapsed them.

Lastly, remember that speed of loading data is much more important for dashboards in general than a random page. Cache data, or initially load only summary data, or only load the latest day by default and then fetch the weeks data. Remember clients may make purchasing decisions based on how fast your stats page of your SaaS usage loads when they are showcasing it to their C-suite, and a 15 second wait can cost you your enterprise sale.

I think to get good value out of it you really have to get a sense for what it's good for and what it's not.

I don't have it write my day to day code, because that's complicated and usually niche enough that it's not likely to give a good result.

But it's awesome for something like writing a quick and dirty shell script. most recently I needed to bulk rename 50 or so files with an interactive piece for a special case. I described the operation to GPT and it spit out a nearly perfect shell script. Could I have written the same script in half an hour? Yes, but it was sure nice not to have to.

I also like it for just bouncing around an idea. Recently I was thinking about writing a program to make a midi device from a guitar hero controller, and I was able to get a good sense of the available APIs / libs in a few different languages with a 3 minute back and forth with GPT. Again, I could have easily searched around myself and come to the same answer, but removing the friction is pretty nice.
> with time you usually learn to fall asleep very quickly

Can that really be learned or is that a sign of a serious circadian rhythm dysfunction? A healthy human body doesn't just sleep at a moment's notice, that only works when the clock is broken.
They were asking, as a Mahayana Buddhist, what westerners get out of reading the daodeing. Implying that it is a a somewhat pointless philosophy that does not provide a path to follow (comparing it to nihilism). Also pointing out the different currents (philosophical daoism vs religious/magical daoism) as you mentioned, which most westerners are not aware of.

A somewhat out of place critique coming from a lack of understanding IMO.

I use it alot to help me write functions and small python scripts.

It helped me build a script that takes a wakeup word "GPT" or "Hey GPT" and then grabs the next words and sends it to the the GPT api and responds back with TTS.

Also, helped built some scripts to take notes from web pages, youtube videos, a mini chat window, FTP images from Dall-e and Pexels to my website.

had it write me script that can call GPT api to generate a list into a sqlite database then takes that list and calls GPT api with another prompt.

it helped me build a script that pulls my email from an imap account.

tons of bootstrap/css snippets for website widgets.

It helped me build a poormans vector database. I took a list of keywords got embeddings then saved it to a column in sqlite and ran it through a sentence similarity function to find the id of the closest match then had it mark the one as ignore.

.htaccess expressions for taking url slugs and redirecting to a posts.php page which is a real pain in the butt no way I could have done that without ChatGPT.

had it generate a regular expression cheatsheet.
I've been using phind.com as a replacement for Google.

It's been a mixed bag due to how quickly they iterate on the app (and introduce bugs). But lately they added their own Phind Model, which is free, has unlimited uses as opposed to GPT-4, and sits nicely in-between GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 in performance.

More often than not, it doesn't give a good enough answer, but it may nudge me in the right direction.
For example, it may say some keyword that I can use to search for the right thing on Google, or cite sources that I can use to investigate further.

For me the advantage of Raspberry pi was passive cooling without worrying about any moving objects and running 24/7. Being affordable was another clear advantage. These two does not apply here anymore.

20 seconds in firmware, 8 in kernel, 6 seconds waiting for systemd networks to load, a second for Docker and an encrypted LUKS drive are most of my boot process (and a thousand tiny systemd services, of course).

I can disable a few things here and there, but whatever hardware detection takes place in the kernel (I assume Nvidia related things, it's always Nvidia it seems) isn't really somethint I can change. I can try disabling more POST parts, maybe, and disable Docker on boot to take off another second, but to shave everything down I'll probably need to reinstall.

Very curious if you can elaborate on Vectorize. More than edge GPU's, entering the Vector DB marketplace and a CF proprietary integration is interesting (and a bit scary) to build on.

- Will Vectorize ever get OSS'd?

- If you want to migrate either direction from some other Vector DB(Milvus, Weaviate, Qdrant, Pinecone, etc), what should you expect in terms of level of effort and features?

- What inherent advantages(latency? features?) would you get exclusively from Vectorize?
