Have you tested the site backups? How do you know that dang's backups work? when's the last time they were tested? An act of god could take out the servers that run this place, and their backups, and the site's history and contents would be gone. you'd go to http://news.ycombinator.com and get an error page that says "we're having trouble serving your request." Or worse - no response at all.

Would the site survive hours or days of downtime? would we come flooding back to an empty site and just start filling it back up again after our threads, our /comments, out /favorites, our /highlights were lost? It would be like a death in the family. We might take off, never to come back instead.

This is not to impugn dang's computer skills. I'm sure there's a good plan in place. But you might want your open copy of the pages you want to keep.
I wasn't necessarily saying you were making that claim. Just in general.
It's the Strip, I'd assume you were pretty buzzed before you rolled up. That's probably part of the math here.

I think the work Livingcarbon is doing is very cool here, actually. at least genetically engineering better photosynthesis seems like a plausible approach and their demos so far seem like they are working.
This problem has recurred throughout history.

The issue with the "study this person who does it well, take notes, it takes a village!" approach is that that quicky ossifies into a bureaucratic morass of petty tyrants who don't actually understand (or care about) the principles behind whatever that person did. They instead engage in endless rules lawyering about technical minutiae. Some do it simply to feel powerful; others genuinely feel that rules lawyering is helpful.

This becomes self-amplifying as those who actually care about the underlying principles and themes, as opposed to petty legalism, tend to leave the project permanently and go elsewhere. Meanwhile, those who care about and prioritize bureaucratic bickering are attracted to the project, eventually attain a larger share of the powerful positions, and build more of the same.

See the evolution of Wikipedia for a great example of this process in action.
My experience is, I gave up using clion on a pretty large c++ project ever since they moved to clangd (it used to be decent before) because some functions gradually became much slower to the point of being unusable, eg listing symbols in a file.

The same functionality works quite well in vscode.

But I tried this release and everything works really well on the same project.
Very nice, and I heard lots of Helium was found on Canada's Baffin Island. With that news, hopefully these can be used to replace some container ship and air travel in the near future.
Nazis are people, and being a nazi is not a crime. Until they commit some sort of crime they should be afforded all the same basic human rights and freedoms as everyone else. That's just basic common sense.
why on earth would you fuck around and find out after receiving a legal letter? That's the first and final warning. They've made up their mind and the next step is to crush you like an ant in a heartbeat. This is one of the biggest companies in the world, second to very very few. You are outgunned comprehensively. Profoundly. Impossibly. You trifled with powers you cannot even comprehend and frankly got away lucky. This was so ignorant as to be childish. You should be thankful. What this was is mercy. If Microsoft was ever to turn the full force of their terrible legal gaze and devote actual effort to you, then and only then could you say they had ruined your life.

There are a lot of things that I am legally allowed to do that I would like to do but can't because I'll be buried in legal proceedings about. All you did is discover one for yourself.

This doesn’t do much. Many of the stdlib functions will still raise exceptions. Also, just because you’re returning exception from a function doesn’t guarantee that something else won’t raise an error. This isn’t an issue in Go/Rust since errors are treated as values in the core language and you’re forced to treat them so everywhere.

If HN died then maybe lobste.rs would become more popular. I think Lobsters does some things better (tags you can filter) but posts currently get very few comments. However, the invitation requirement might be too much of a barrier for many people.
This is amazing!! Congrats on putting together all that functionality!

How many users are using that service? How come you decided to make it 100% free?

Your website is beautiful btw! I thought about building my tool as a Slack bot but thought that then it would be too limited to only Slack. I intend to add other types of workflows in the future, such as webhooks (to trigger special workflows in your CI) and a RSS feed :)

I'd love to connect with you if you wanna work together on something! t.me/rogerluan
Depends on the example. The US treaties with indigenous peoples don't really seem to be bound to anything other than the ink on paper. So, what's your point?
This is generally not true. While OOO processors generally don't love passing PC around (and they usually don't since most instructions won't need it), both RISC-V, ARMv7, and ARM-v8 all provide mechanisms to access PC:

ARMv7: you can just use PC directly as a register

ARMv8: adr Rd, #0 will move PC into Rd

RISC-V: auipc Rd, 0 will move PC into Rd

Usually what implementers tend to do to avoid piping around massive 64-bit addresses for no good reason is that they form fetch groups (a linear series of instructions starting at a base PC) and then number instructions both by their group ID and their position in the group. The base PC for each group is then stored in an array indexed over the fetch group. If an instruction later needs its PC (such as to perform a branch or because it caused an exception), a request is sent to the fetch group array to fetch the base PC for the operation which can then be used in conjunction with the offset to reconstruct the original PC.

It looks like the biggest problem with nuclear is not the safety or whatnot, it's just that as a civilization, we just can't build them without cost overruns and massive delays. And this is a loss, because we need non-variable energy sources to augment wind/solar/tidal.

Perhaps the other way to solve the energy transition is to lean heavily into mass storage of variable energy sources. If you have enough energy storage, you don't need so much of the base energy suppliers like gas/coal/nuclear.
I'm certain you already have the dataset necessary to create an AI replacement of yourself as the moderator, even with the existing available models.

If this isn't already in the works, it should be as a key-man insurance policy.

I'm sure the other moderators would be fine, but they couldn't ever carry that dang weight.
Just let it go, but keep the memories (perhaps save some interesting content somewhere). Every user generated content platform has a finite life and lives with no way to replicate it as-is elsewhere. People have attempted to replicate many communities with varying degrees of success, but it’s just not the same (that doesn’t mean it’s always worse when replicated…it’s just not the same anymore).

One of the hardest but useful lessons in life is to move on (and figuring out when and how to move on).
Maybe also worth noting that it was close to the ground, which it would not be in normal operation.

I couldn't agree more! When you throw exceptions it's unclear where the control flow will go
That's rather eloquently romantic, but doesn't actually seem to mean anything beyond "it requires some ineffable quality of vague goodness that just FEELS right to me, I know it when I see it."

even if we're talking densely populated areas, aren't cans just going to be better no matter what? The alternative is literally throwing plastic bags of trash into the street. I adore NYC and I look for every excuse I can to go. I understand that it has very unique issues that few, if any, cities on earth have to contend with. This one just seems pretty addressable. I need a youtube series or podcast about how it got to this point, whats been tried, and why it failed so I can fully comprehend it.

That doesn't make any sense. If you were already buzzed before going, then you would need a cheaper price to continue drinking, since you already have some in you. If you were dead sober and wanted to drink, then it makes sense to shell out the money.
There was a time when it was true that being a Googler meant you were pretty hot shit, but that was decades ago at this point. Not insulting any of the talented people who work there, it's just a much bigger company with 1000x more people on staff, so obviously it's not just the top, crème de la crème nerds in the world, even if many of them are there.

On the other hand, I'm not sure that this article is an example of pride or bragging. It seems like an inventory of what's unusual about Google. It also includes some somewhat cutting remarks about its dysfunctions, e.g.:

> Most 10-50 million user problems aren’t worth Google's time, and don’t fit their strategy. But they’ll take on significant effort on problems that do fit their nature, strategy, and someone’s promotion goals.
Antitrust is also difficult to enforce. I would rather see laws that require manufactures to provide a reasonable amount of local control for devices. Aside from avoiding situations like this, it also avoids bricking devices when services are shut down. It also seems perhaps easier to enforce although defining what constitutes a reasonable level of local control could prove difficult.
Nuclear and solar also can dual-use most of their footprint. For nuclear, the keep-out zone becomes a de facto nature preserve. And a pretty good one at that, since the keep out is enforced well.

Solar installations can be grazed. Alternatively, bifacial panels can be installed vertically east-west and the strips between can be farmed. Or the panels can be placed on rooftops. Or used to shade parking lots. Et cetera.
You fools! We go at night!
Hi Peter,

Would love your thoughts on the recent EO on AI and it's possible impact on immigration.
The Humane AI Pin Launches Its Campaign to Replace Phones
approach is that that quicky ossifies into a bureaucratic morass of petty tyrants

Agreed, I see that happen all the time, especially with chat platforms for some reason. That's why I also said discipline. Having run large forums the temptation to make rules and power-trip is human nature. The biggest battle is with ones self and not letting others help moderate unless they share the same discipline. Finding people that share the same values and are not at risk of power-tripping is hard. Assistant mods would have to know up front they would be booted as soon as they exhibit such behavior.

I would suggest people first start up some little just-for-fun thing and learn the hard way what the biggest struggles are before creating something they truly are passionate about.
You mean the silver in the film for the photos? I concur! :)
I would assume so but that means the venue itself is then subsidizing the cost of the performance, which means the tickets/refreshments/etc have to be more expensive.

And like, I want to emphasize: this thing is extremely cool. I love shit like this. I wish we could have more really cool things like this. But when your entire thrust is to make money... I mean I wish them all the success in the world but you'll have to put me down as a skeptic if they'll be able to, especially given how razor thin margins tend to be in the entertainment sector when the venue can just host regular ass shows that any venue can.
The tildeverse? SDF? Mastodon? Slashdot? The chans? Lobsters? Gemini? Superhighway84 (not sure if this one's still alive?) Undernet or Libera on IRC?

I guess it depends on exactly how picky you are about pattern matching to "the old Internet," but a lot of that stuff feels like a throwback to the early Internet or even BBS era... none of it is mega platforms and most of it isn't really hidden... all of it is pretty cool... HN fills a great niche to be sure

It's most commonly both.
I'm from (and live in) Norway. Ticketmaster is used for a lot of shows here too, especially the larger venues.

While I wouldn't call them the best thing since sliced bread, overall my experience over the years is that they take my money and give me my tickets.

Today I bought some tickets. I vent to the venue, saw there was a show, clicked on Buy tickets, took me to Ticketmaster, logged on, found ticket, paid via local payment provider[1] (verified on phone, super simple), and I got my tickets on email. All was just a few clicks and over in a couple of minutes.

This is my typical experience. Is US Ticketmaster particularly worse, or am I living in an alternate reality?

Or are there some other aspects that I'm missing?

From where I stand it's the opposite. 5 years ago microservices were cool, now it's just the banks and telecomms adopting them, while the others realise sometimes they're useful, sometimes a monolith is useful, sometimes a service-oriented architecture (not micro) is useful.

You linked A: a thread of allegations against players of any Smash version, the vast majority of which involve Ultimate or SSB4 players and B: a thread about Nintendo's interview with ZeRo, the former Ultimate #1, who was finally exiled from the community after allegations against him were substantiated by (among others) Leffen, a Melee player, who later received death threats from ZeRo's fanbase. This cannot explain Nintendo's preference for Ultimate vis-a-vis Melee in the slightest.
What is your profession?
It's 8086's history as a descendant of a limited 8-bit ISA that made it lack PC-relative addressing. I'm not sure why it was never added in all of its iterations until x64.

Other ISAs from the minicomputer age (PDP-11) and their descendants and inspirations (H8, 68k) had it. Zilog added PC relative loads and address calculations to the Z8000, and it's a generally popular form now in x64.

The Unix V6 assembly source code is very readable because of this and also I think it was unfortunately responsible for the 0-terminated string use because of the ease of writing it that way.
Ok but you understand there's a body of literature that shows that LLMs don't "just" memorize
Hi Peter, thanks for your continued presence on HN over the years!

What wait times are you seeing for I-485 processing of EB-3 green cards? Are the interviews still being skipped?
The topic of this thread is intended to be a loose recreation what was used in the OpenAI demo. I guess my assertion is that it could work quite well for a travel agent type of functionality, at least for the type of service an average travel agent provides. For something like a tour guide that needs to gives depth it probably does fall flat quite a bit.

I can totally understand not being great for smaller landmarks... it could be the case too that it could trigger a call to an external service for things it doesn't have high confidence about.
What's the best practice for a founder or startup employee who is on a work visa in the US but works remotely / nomadically and doesn't have a fixed address (from an immigration perspective)? Use mailforwarding? Ask to use a friend's address? Is that frowned upon by USCIS?
in loops, the lack of knowing can be considered a positive though:

for (auto const & thing : container_of_things) {
thing->method ();
}

in this context (and this context alone) i love not knowing or having to explicit denote the type of "thing".
> Oh, good, heavyweight error handling just in time for py3.11's zero-cost exception happy path.

I don’t get it. Languages that use exceptions for all kinds of errors will also use exceptions for routine errors that happen as a matter of course—the happy path is not the overwhelmingly most common branch, and errors are not exceptional. In turn not zero-cost for all but the exceptional case.
I think we are going to see more of this. I doubt this is about "deep fakes", as in reality the press doesn't care about it as long as it generates clicks and revenue.

It's more to do with surveillance and being able to more easily track someone trying to play investigative journalist, whistleblower etc. and show them their place.

For instance, if someone takes a photo of a big corporation exec giving a brown envelope to a politician and then another journalist show them to interested parties as a courtesy before publication, they could find out who took the picture and get them killed.

This is very dangerous and stupid what Sony is playing with.
Definitely, it's been a crazy and inspiring journey. I'm kind of bummed it's coming to an end, it was my favorite series of his.
actually some pruning is necessary to harvest very unruly/tall branches. Besides, pruning takes place right after harvest.
Yeah. I could see that. It isn't dire, but how much is too much to pay over a period of time? How much do they really need to run a solution that has been feature complete forever now? I get inflation and costs, but this increasing cost structure is way beyond that. What do your clients end up doing most of the time when migrating away? I ask because it is a real consideration.
A solution that meets the needs of multiple parties would be "better". When changing the status quo, it's "better" to find a solution that provides the intended benefit with the least negative impact on other groups.

If you actually want to provide the best benefit, we should start at the source and be looking at waste reduction. Instead of taking up 10% of the parking, it could be more feasible to take up 2.5% with smaller or less frequent dumpsters. You'd need less landfill space. You would hopefully have cheaper products through less material and less packaging. There's a lot of empty commercial real estate that could be repurposed, maybe for parking or residences with more modern waste management. There's likely other technologies that could be used for waste pickup at large buildings, like containers in the basement rolling out subsurface into the street and bottom loading into a truck via elevator. Or just more frequent pickup.

We could blame everything on cars. I feel that there are plenty of issues that are due to the old infrastructure that never envisioned all these uses or politics though. It seems other cities have figured this out just fine and kept their cars. Seems odd that NYC can't figure it out.
In China, there's a saying that roughly translates to "raise kids so that when you get older, you can have someone taking care of you." However, I find this to be an unethical reason for having children.

As someone who doesn't currently have children and is uncertain about having them in the future, I've been pondering this issue.

I'm thinking that there should be an establishment of a non-profit where individuals could join during their early retirement years, typically in their 50s or 60s, when they still possess the capability to care for those older than themselves. This would be done under the supervision of professional caregivers.

The time they contribute would be documented as a form of currency. This way, when these individuals reach their 80s, they could use this accumulated "time" to receive care and support in return.
That's some heavy duty spin. You must use the industrial sized washing machines.

People pay Apple the 30% because they have no other choice. Anything else said as an "reason" is just starting the spin cycle.

Thanks for the feedback!

I agree with your points. The point of gathering the API key is to actually be able to provide a lot more information in the future, such as some light data science (analytics) into your releases, and maybe expand to other areas (e.g. taking actions from the Slack messages themselves).

What do you mean with "like a real mail-filter"?

The RSS feature is kinda on the roadmap but I haven't gotten any feedback about users wanting that type of integration. Incoming webhooks is higher up in the list, so users can trigger internal CI actions upon receiving requests to such webhooks.

Any other type of APIs you'd like to see this tool covering? :)
It's currently used to provide a hackish WASM compatible port of scipy for Pyodide and the Pyodide maintainers are eager to be able to drop the f2c hacks in favor of lfortran or any WASM-capable fotran compiler because f2c can cause very hard to debug low level crashes when running scipy or other downstream libraries tests (e.g. scikit-learn).
Twitter is not dead; it rather caters to a different and broader audience segment now.

What happened is that it is no longer an institutionally governed "safe space" where only leftist progressive views are allowed to be voiced in public, and any dissenting views were censored.

The segment of people who think that applying that sort of leftist ideological purity filter on all public discourse is a good thing are leaving, while another (and ultimately much larger) segment of the public who highly value free speech are joining.
