When they find some lone wolf breaking the rules, sure they'll punish him. But when they act collectively, there is rarely a correction or (ha ha) compunction.

The Russiagate hoax (ie, "Trump is a Russian agent") should have called for widespread reform of the entire media. I can't believe there is a single person who can take CNN/NY Times/LA Times/etc seriously at this point. But when it is 95 percent of the group committing the same outrage, I doubt any of them feel particularly guilty.

Years before was the even-worse "Weapons of Mass Destruction" propaganda campaign. Maybe you're too young to remember it, but that was a whopper.
I think it's very different: "use strict" is strictly local (function or script scoped), "use utf-8" would require the entire JavaScript context to cooperate. It means you can't safely use a library that expects UTF-16 in an app with "use utf-8". E.g. you can't include Google Analytics in your "use utf-8" web page.

The whole point of AI/automation is to slowly chip away what needed exclusively humans.

From the perspective of folks accessing and paying, does it matter if it is AI or real human if their brain perceives it to be the same?
no, but I had one employer reimbursing it (changed job since then). they were quite interested in this and might have actually implemented this for others, not sure

I mean it happens every day. When people have a lot to lose and not much left to gain, they tend to roll over a lot more easily.

As far as what would motivate him: look at what's happening to Musk right now as an example. I'm not saying he doesn't comply and cooperate with law enforcement, but he's certainly being made a big example of right now from all sides.

This is super wrong. The Thiel Fellowship stopped betting on underdogs long, long ago. I invite anyone reading this comment section to select a random recipient from the last few years go and look at two things:

1. What stage was their company at when they received the fellowship?

2. What is their parents' career?

Every person who receives the Fellowship has already raised millions of dollars, sometimes even tens of millions of dollars. Raising millions of dollars as a teenager isn't something you generally do without exceptional fortune or parents in the finance industry. Usually it's the latter.

I once met a TF recipient who ran a successful property lending company. What was his father's job? Multimillionaire owner of a large and successful property investment firm. Not hating on the guy, he was pretty cool and nice and his business went on to be successful (and he was for sure a hard worker, intelligent and ambitious), but the Fellowship slapping their name on his back didn't really change how the cards were stacked. At the very least, it wasn't the thing that moved the needle to him dropping out. I would be greatly surprised if, in the last 5 years, the Fellowship was the tipping point for even a single person dropping out of college.

Full disclosure on the conflict of interest though, I am a mediocre college dropout who was rejected post interview. I wouldn't have and still wouldn't turn down the $100k if it was offered. Money is great.
Anything posted here about thiel or musk (especially musk) is bound to be full of useless comments that boil down to nothing more than "i don't like him." It doesn't matter what the article is about, if the headline can be used to justify that dislike, those will be the majority of the comments.

How is selective selling the same as paying a company to not buy from your competitor? The knee-jerk reaction here to call things they don't like "enshitification" or "anticompetitive" is really annoying.

* Initial participants will be 20 organizations across 10 countries, selected for having a notable long-form video presence on YouTube but that have yet to embrace short-form news formats. (Other media companies, like ESPN, have already leaned into Shorts.)*

The phrasing is a bit awkward for me. I get the part that YT is looking for channels that are more substance and less blurb. That seems pretty okay.

"Have Yet To Embrace Short-Form" is a weird; it seems to imply that only that news orgs who will eventually do short-form are being considered. I assume that's not what they meant.

Also that ESPN isn't considered - because it's short-forming, not because it's a sportsball channel. That's an oddly specific choice; it could imply a view that sports reporting is as equally important as critical news. Again, that might not be what this article meant.

If you think the AP hasn't reported blatantly false news. Then you haven't been paying attention. They were one of the first news agency to blame Hamas for blowing up their own hospital. When video was already out that it was an Israeli jet that did it.
Almost forgot about Charles Johnson

>Deadspin floated an old college rumor that Johnson had once defecated on a dormitory floor at Claremont. When Johnson tweeted on Friday that he’s considering a run for Congress, the first reply suggested his campaign slogan could be “Outing rape victims and pooping on the floor since 2014. Vote for me.” Of course, I had to ask him about the allegations. “For the record, I did not shit on the seventh floor, but I wish I did,” he told me.

I don't hold much hope. Two days ago we had what I consider to be primary sources i.e. BBC, NYP, CNN all posting unverified information as fact in published articles.

This information turned out (a) to be completely incorrect and (b) has far reaching real consequences both in local politics and with respect to actual harm and violence directed at people.

The sources are incredibly quiet now and are saying literally nothing about this having corrected articles and erased the history.

Their irresponsible reporting caused actual harm to people.

I had trouble migrating my family actually. The old account owners couldn't accept the request to join my account as a side profile, because their profile already "existed". Even though we had canceled them.

Yeah. I'm saying if you're digging a hole for no reason and going "man it's a lot of work digging this hole and there's no reward at the end," then you should stop digging the hole and go do something else.

The two features that worked easily in Flux that pushed my team to pick that over argo are 1) Flux can source helm values (and postRender variable replacements) from configmaps and secrets on the cluster; This allows us to setup each cluster with environment specific information at creation time (immutable information about the cluster essentially) without having to copy that data to our flux repos and 2) The ability to use kustomize to patch manifests from helm post-render as well. You can patch anything before it's applied to a cluster, which allows you do deploy upstream charts without having to fork them for your needs.

Phone-to-phone airdrop is slow. Unless sending video, the messages app will typically outperform the UX and delivery speed of Airdrop for the person sending the file, which is really the only one that matters.

Airdrop Discovery is slow. Notification of an incoming file is slow. File transfer startup is slow. File transfer completion is slow.

You have to wait at every step and you cannot stop watching it, lest the transfer fail.

The UI for iOS isn't very good either. It floats on top of everything. It's easy to dismiss and impossible to bring back without starting over.

It's a great idea with bad UX, but still better than nothing at all.

I know this is correct because I found out the hard way. Couldn't keep up with listening so cancelled the sub. Came back when I had time but the credits were gone (think about 7).

No, "easily breakable" DRMs don't really improve the situation:

The laws in many countries make it specifically illegal to break/circumvent DRM (even if making a copy, e.g. for personal use or viewing it on an unsupported device, would otherwise would be legal!), which is pretty messed up.

If you buy DRMed content because you know it's easily breakable, you are sending the signal that you are fine with DRM for purchased (not rented) goods, which is probably not what you want since it reinforces this unfortunate status quo.

If you want to actually support "asserting ownership" of digital goods, support DRM-free content.

I think it's actually the publisher that decides whether content gets sold with or without DRM. Even Amazon supports selling books DRM-free!
thus the line "Yes, we probably can do both".
We can do both, but than I would like a manifest which mention boths of this topics, and maybe even put the "make life for humans better" at the pole position of the manifest.

It wasn't long ago that many of the official US news outlets consistently had their videos severely vote ratioed. YouTube then removed the dislike count, allegedly to protect small creators from being brigaded. The puzzling part of that explanation was in their addendum, "creators can still view the dislike count"

The war on "disinformation" marches on. I doubt many skeptics will be won over by this latest tactic. Those with establishment biases can already choose their favored outlets. This raises the obvious questions: Who is this feature aimed at? Will it become mandatory? Will content be further restricted on the basis of truthiness?

"Get a beer" is just an expression meaning kick back and relax. Try not to get too outraged over it. Or if you must, substitute a non-alcoholic beer.
I genuinely don't know. I haven't gotten news from any of the exampled sources recently - so I don't know what's being alleged. I see other comments referencing the hospital bombing so I can maybe piece it together from that.

Sigh. Another article written, it seems, by someone who thinks that all/most software development is on the web. "Storage systems" in the cloud ... it might make you feel good to pretend that this is really just a variant of storage systems on your local NVMe unit, and that therefore the APIs involved really ought to converge. But this is an illusion likely caused by insufficient native development experierence.

The author needs to ask themselves: in this cloud technology stack, is there POSIX involved somewhere lower down, where I can't access it? The answer is, of course, "yes". The sort of cloud storage systems described all run on top of POSIX APIs. They provide convenience (cost efficiency is more debatable) compared to the POSIX alternative, but that's because they exist at an entirely different conceptual layer (hence the presence of POSIX anyway, just buried).

There's about as much reason to expect a single API to access the filesystem attached to the PCI bus and an unstructured storage system as there is to have a single API to create a PDF of a document AND deliver it to the printer. Which is to say: the higher level abstraction will use the lower level anyway, but it exists for a reason, and isn't appropriate for everything.

The guestbook images load very very slowly. Probably because they are quite a bit larger than their preview boxes and also PNG.
Simply re-encoding with mozjpeg at 85% (which still looks darn good to my eyes) without rescaling in case you wanted the larger size for retina displays.

$ ~/git/mozjpeg/cjpeg -quality 85 ge-printer-231017-zenwheel.png > temp.jpeg
$ ls -lh temp.jpeg ge-printer-231017-zenwheel.png
-rw-r--r-- 1 nemo nemo 439K Oct 18 19:04 ge-printer-231017-zenwheel.png
-rw-r--r-- 1 nemo nemo 77K Oct 19 09:20 temp.jpeg

Aaand reduced a touch so it still should look good on HD, and cranking up the jpeg compression slightly.

$ convert ge-printer-231017-zenwheel.png -scale 75% temp_smaller.png
$ ~/git/mozjpeg/cjpeg -quality 80 temp_smaller.png > temp_smaller.jpeg
$ ls -lh temp_smaller.png temp_smaller.jpeg
-rw-r--r-- 1 nemo nemo 41K Oct 19 09:23 temp_smaller.jpeg
-rw-r--r-- 1 nemo nemo 268K Oct 19 09:22 temp_smaller.png

IMO that would help the page load 10x faster, if you just piped the images through a bit of scaling and jpeg compression.

I have seen HN threads ridiculing some govt website for being outdated or not fixing the latest vulnerability or not using the latest version etc. Or if they do allocate a bigger chunk of their budget for tech and there will be unreasonable HN threads about how one user feels he/she could build it over a weekend and question the budgets.
Worst yet, I have seen numerous HN threads talking about big ad tech (which most big tech are), claiming their services are totally non essential and a waste of time, and how their life improved since they stopped using these services. This comment goes as far as to call all the users as serfs totally ignoring that many real people and their real use cases :(

I feel its used because it's free and it simply works for most people. I feel the status quo is there because of the lack of a better one. You simply cannot make everyone happy on HN, let alone all people.
It was building up since the original team sold to Epic. Can't trust after that.

What is the difference of your service with eg. Deezer? Someone in another thread mentioned it offers lossless DRM-free downloads these days.
I agree. The one use case where I can kind of understand it are library books; purchased books have no business being DRMed.

If it works for the music industry (basically all purchases are DRM-free since the iTunes store dropped theirs), why shouldn't it work for publishing?
I wonder how this beast with AVX-512 compares to GPUs for AI model training and execution?

I'm sure GPUs would still be more efficient for the specialize task of heaps of matrix math, but given the insane price premium on high-end nVidia cards I wonder if this could be an alternative?

96 AVX512 cores is roughly 3072 parallel fp16 calculations per cycle.
Well, at 13 I did build some weird CLI based text adventures in c++, mostly imperative style and badly written.
I knew only how to declare a variable, how to cout/cin, loops and conditions, due to the fact that access to information was almost impossible (we had something like a subscription plan with a limited 20 hours of internet, and finding websites that I could understand about developing in C++ was hard).

I remember the feeling I had the day I learned about classes and functions, a true "wow" moment.

Unfortunately those text adventures died with the hard drive of the computer my parents had.

Google's search product and YouTube's algorithm have both been completely gutted for this need to control the sources and what people see down to being shadows of their former usefulness.

Now we could say this is a good thing because there's less radicalization and what many consider misinformation. But I think the clear difference in usefulness wont result in those people not seeing that information but more an eventual move away from the Google services rendering the control useless because the next most viable services will likely be under Chinese control anyway. Yandex already offers a far superior image search to Google, Tiktok video search is preferred by young people over Google text search.
