I disagree. I grew up without a cell phone while all my friends had them. Beyond that, my friends had online gaming where I barely even had access to the internet, and what access I had was limited.

I find the argument that kids are going to unanimously ostracize another kid without an Instagram account very hard to believe. Kids _will_ be assholes for any reason under the sun, so it's not a question of will my kid have a hard time socially from time-to-time—that's just life.

Hobbies, social outlets, groups in the community—these are all ways to ensure your kids aren't socially stunted without giving them the emotional / mental equivalent of heroin.
My crank unevidenced theory is that

1. they wanted an Apple-level of verified review process for AMO, because the Chrome store and even Android app store have problems with malicious content.

2. This costs money.

3. They didn't want to open a free for all because they didn't know exactly how to go about solving 2. yet, and if they introduced some payment system then it would be easier to do from a clean slate, without an AMO full of existing extensions to somehow grandfather through.

As said before, this is fully unfounded and probably unfair speculation. I like it more than the 'google conspiracy against adblockers' though because Mozilla's motivations in this case are quite reasonable and can be taken in good faith. Keeping credit card skimmers out of AMO at the cost of restricting access to 'Firefox Pro'/'AMO Pro'/author-pays would honestly be quite a good thing for Mozilla to consider imo.

In any case it's great to see them allowing things now!
I hate to say it, but the diploma also matters. Having an MS next to your name means employers will give you the time of day that others won’t get. I really don’t like that this is the way things work, but it is.
You see that with devops often. When they are incentives to block stuff instead of enabling the product they become the roadblock team.

It's why Google has SRE instead of devops people largely
Thanks for pointing this out. In the release notes, I see

> sendmail(8) and its configuration remain available.

I assume this means sendmail still exists in base installs. Do you know the rationale behind this decision? Upgrading from FreeBSD 13 shouldn't result in the binary suddenly going away, so I want to believe there are no backwards compatibility concerns with simply replacing sendmail with dma.
And they exist. A lot of them, actually.
This is exactly my take. I love anything that makes it easier to track state and transitions. Especially so if it’s a framework for generalizable applications.
The stereotype is hardware engineers all think software is easy. So while semiconductor firms know software is important, they're often optimistic about the ease of creating it.

Cuda is enormous, very complicated and fits together relatively well. All the semiconductor startups have a business plan about being transparent drop in replacements for cuda systems, built by some tens of software engineers in a year or two. That only really makes sense if you've totally misjudged the problem difficulty.

I have a hard time believing that, but if that website says so, it must be true. I would wonder if they are including gmail users as well as all android users, but I don't know their methodology. If they include all android users, they should include all ios users for Apple Music and iTunes since Apple stores their music on Microsoft Azure, which last I checked is the same thing OneDrive uses.
There's an ocean of difference between optimizing for a single wakeword and the class of models that are taking off today. I'm excited for more on-board processing, because it will mean less dependency on the cloud.
Not necessarily and not straightforwardly. At least theoretically, the monthly fees are already at the maximum they an extract. Making them higher means less customers and that trade off did not changed.

Companies are not trying to earn enough to cover expenses. They are trying to earn maximum possible.
Yep. I have COBOL experience (on a mainframe even!), and I'd even be willing to do it again -- and I'm young by the standards of COBOL programmers, so somebody could even get 20 years out of me still.

But the wages being offered for those roles are abysmal relative to what's available for other skills, and modern life is applying a great deal of pressure to chase larger paychecks, sadly.
The purpose behind all those things you were pursuing (apart from accessibility) should have been to increase the rate at which the team is able to ship features. If your work on these items over the course of a year haven't demonstrably improved delivery speed, then what value did they actually bring? If they have improved delivery speed and you can show evidence for that, why would you be nervous going into a review?
Yes, everyone acknowledges there is a huge difference in how Clinton reacted in the immediate aftermath of her election loss, compared to how Trump behaved in the same situation.

The opinion piece I linked argues that Democrats pushing the "2016 election was stolen" narrative provided normalization and encouragement for Republicans to push a similar narrative in 2020 - even though the actions taken in response to that narrative were very different.

In turn, I think the 2020 Republican claims have been encouraging pre-emptive 2024 Democratic claims - see below examples - and if Democrats lose in 2024, they've already got these pre-planned narratives at hand to invoke

The Magic tournament rules cover this:

“Some loops are sustained by choices rather than actions. In these cases, the rules above may be applied, with the player making a different choice rather than ceasing to take an action. The game moves to the point where the player makes that choice. If the choice involves hidden information, a judge may be needed to determine whether any choice is available that will not continue the loop.”

Basically if a player has open information, like an activated ability, that could end the loop that player is not allowed to not use it to keep the loop going indefinitely. If that player instead has hidden information, i.e. a card in hand, that could end the loop any player can call a judge to confirm that and force the player to end the loop.

Note this doesn’t extend past cards in hand, though. If a player has some way to search their deck for a card that could end the loop, they are not forced to search and then play that card. At that level it moves from a player intentionally delaying the game with the resources at hand or in play to a judge dictating a player’s actions.
>Likely you couldn't even go back and make a fab that makes large volumes of 60nm-90nm node sizes at all, for any amount of money, because the equipment to do this (new) hasn't been made in 2 decades and no company is willing to invest the money to make new crappy old equipment.

I believe your argument assumes that there is a fixed cost to produce even 180nm or 350nm ICs that hasnt changed since the first one was produced.

We still need 300 years for a 300 year old tree, but 25 year old technology might now be relatively easy to build if we start from scratch.

What was high tech then might be relatively easy to solve now. One example might be https://github.com/circuitvalley/USB_C_Industrial_Camera_FPG... being open source instead of a multi year, multi million dollar project.
Yeah, you misunderstood the question; sendmail refers a specific piece of software and source of a lot of sysadmin trauma.
I'd wager taste buds. When I moved to the USA from Europe a decade ago I couldn't stand how horrible Hershey's chocolate is. After a decade of nibbling it I now find it totally palatable.

Maybe one day I'll get used to Coke with HFCS instead of cane sugar.
Why would that when you’re picking someone to manage your money? You’re hiring a fund manager, not a personal trainer.
The events of 2020 were more than talk. Tears in the rain.
298MB of RAM is hardly 100%, as per this example. Slack takes up way more RAM than that.
I'd probably grab a few personally if I got down there before things started to spoil.
I can't believe it took this long for someone to offer open core, cross vendor cloud deployments.

I feel like this is going to take off, especially if you're targeting Hetzner.

With regards to the latter, have you guys thought about a cross vendor object storage offering? It's the #1 most requested service on Hetzner and they have repeadetly mentioned that they do not want to venture into this space. Feels like a low hanging fruit to take at this point.

Are you guys open for CV submissions? I'm a student from Germany and would love to intern / work for you guys and be a part of this. I've worked with OpenStack previously (though as an end user, not an admin) , which offers some AWS failover capabilities, but nothing truly like this.
Lets say you are tracking lion populations. You watch a couple of watering holes and count the number of lions. From there you use stats to make estimates of total number of lions in the world. Suddenly your data shows a drop of 30% and is continuing to decline. Are lions going extinct, or did they find a new watering hole? If they found a new watering hole then you need to change your measuring locations to account for the shift.

I don't think software development has started slowing down. So the data is indicating that the way they were measuring is becoming less useful than it was, and that they will need to find new data sources if they are going to continue.

If that really is AI, maybe Copilot and friends will become an interesting source of data on programming language use.
Number of producers of these fabs is still quite limited though.
Couldn't you have said "compartmentalized", or "dominated by hostile silos" or anything else that doesn't involve comparison of the state of online chatting with wars that have killed humans? I agree things were nice with adium.
This Week #15: Devbox 0.8.4 and Offline Shells
Brand new iPhones have been available for $430 on apple.com for many years now.

And most young minimum wage employees with very little money and no "status" also use iPhones.

It is not a signal of poor/status, it is a signal of weird/not weird, without commenting on the validity of that, of course.

For example, people do not opt out of dating Android users because they think Android users are poor, they opt out because they think Android users have a higher likelihood of being sufficiently "weird" such that they do not want to engage.
sendmail is both, a commandline client (interface, because it's implemented by multiple projects) that sends mail from the local machine, as well as a full-blown MTA (smtp server, as in postfix).
LOWER CASE IS BLOAT.
Can recommend the cnpg project

It's a kubernetes operator for postgres with a pretty good range of features

"New advertisements by Coinbase, a cryptocurrency exchange, prey on the financial anxieties of Gen Z and other young adults."

It appears that HN comments promoting/defending crypto employ the same tactic.
Yeah, exactly. That's why I think a categorical ban is not necessarily "good parenting". I think you have to peek in and see what they're watching on TikTok, and provide relevant information. If they think a video where someone burns down a store as "a prank" is funny, remind them of the consequences; hurting other people, prison, whatever. (OK, TikTok is a little less extreme than that, but you get the point.)

Certainly, I understand why people want to delegate work to the government here; parenting is hard work. But it's necessary work, you don't want the government's children to go out into the world and do their own thing. You want your kids to. And so your touch is going to be required in their formative years. There is no getting around that.
>namely perceived ”poor”

This is particularly bonkers to me given how expensive Samsung flagships are, but I guess Android occupying the sub-$600 range really enforces in children (physical or mental) that Android = Poor
It could definitely be applicable when trying to convince people to invest in your fund!
Misleading title, the first sentence of the Readme is...

"promptbase is an evolving collection of resources, best practices, and example scripts for eliciting the best performance from foundation models like GPT-4"

There happens to be one table in the Readme that compares the two foundational models on several benchmarks, but there is much more interesting content generally

The essence of Medpromt+ is summarized (by MS) as

In our Medprompt study, we focused on medical challenge problems, but found that the prompt strategy could have more general-purpose application and examined its performance on several out-of-domain benchmarks—despite the roots of the work on medical challenges. Today, we report that steering GPT-4 with a modified version of Medprompt achieves the highest score ever achieved on the complete MMLU.
> to be 100% clear Asians are NOT an under represented minority

How insane is that? Imagine you are one of the lucky few to make it out of war-torn genocided Myanmar to work towards the American dream™, and then are told you're not "underrepresented" enough to get a job.

Or maybe South-East Asians have dark enough skin to get a diversity pass in the American wokesphere?
Yes, and you get to adjust each degree of movement using sliders - so you can go from zero to lots, depending on how you like it.

Eg for driving I'd have some minimal movement, and less responsive up/down and tilt (rotating your head sideways), whereas for flying I'd have much more movement in general, and a very responsive look up curve which would let me chase another plane with minimal neck movement.

It takes some getting used to, but it really pays off in the long run.
This would currently be against the App Store guidelines, which do not permit the use of a third party browser engine. Also, Firefox has ProMotion support.
Did you just unironically use a “would someone think of the children?” argument?

Of all the interesting points in this situation, this is not even close to being relevant
The odds of getting the combo off are extremely low so probably not.
> "But that argument degrades when they're willing to do the work to shut out unexpected uses of the platform."

Or, as many in software engineering call it, fixing potential security holes, which is well worth any businesses time.
There's an interesting question raised by the linked "rant": should updating copyright year serve as a sign of life for a project?

I'm currently inclined to think that:

1. Yes, it should

2. The OP of the linked issue may be mistaking a tools / social conventions issue for an error by the author
Unless dev is switching to write test 100% of time and become a tester it is highly not recommended to let developers write tests.

That QA was not a clown, they've seen some shit...

Would you let QA to write features in your production code?
Apparently the dev embedded child porn in the browser itself, as an Easter egg? WTAF...
The average fund manager does not underperform by more than 2%.
We get carded in the US all the time when we buy booze too, but that system is still flawed: fake IDs often work, store clerks sometimes don't care as much as they should, underage people can sometimes get a random adult passing through to buy booze for them in exchange for 20 bucks, etc.

And it's a lot easier to enforce rules when an interaction is in-person. How can you believe that porn blocking on the internet would ever actually work? (If blocking online TV/movie/music copyright infringement hasn't worked, why would you expect something like this to be successful?) All it takes is for one site to ignore the rules (porn sites based outside of Canada will not care to implement any kind of age verification), and for teens to use a VPN or some other trick to bypass ISP-level blocking.

Then you have to ban or heavily regulate VPNs. At one point do you start realizing that you live in a Chinese-style internet censorship state?
might be off-topic but I'm interested in your internet-less phone situation. Is this your choice, i.e a dumb phone? Or perhaps connectivity is bad where you are?
For anyone that doesn't know - in these deals, "creating" 4,000 jobs means 4,000 person-years worth of jobs. The requirement is satisfied if they hire 4,000 people for 1 year, 1,000 for 4, 500 for 8, etc.
Ask HN: 0.000068 MSE for TensorFlow Model?
Question, just for comparison purposes, is anyone getting an MSE like this in any of their models for validation metrics?

Mine is doing some predictions, and over the past few weeks of iterations I've gone from 0.2 down to this, and trying to push it lower.

I know this all depends on context and the number means nothing by itself, but would be curious to know if anyone has a really low number, much lower than this.
Is there any one individual or group responsible for HashiCorp's switch to BSL?

From what I saw Mitchell let go of running the company and now that HashiCorp is not so cool anymore it's time to get out.
Can you expand on this? This is my first time seeing this guy’s work
>They won't always know what code a dev touched underneath the hood and what they might need to recheck (short of a full regression test every single time) to verify everything is still working.

Not really. As QA I always reviewed the checkins since yesterday before opening up the daily build. Between the bug comments and the patch comments, even if the patch itself is a bit Greek to me, I can tell what was going on enough to be a better tester of that area.
I think that complicates conversations like this. I’ve seen a range of QA people ranging from the utterly incompetent to people who knew the product and users better than anyone else to people writing code and tackling gnarly performance or correctness issues.

If your company hires the low end of that scale, any approach is going to have problems because your company has management problems. It’s very easy to take a lesson like “QA is an outdated concept” because that’s often easier than acknowledging the broken social system.
Nile Red got into a situation where some of his glassware was damaged by a reaction but mixed into his still good glassware. He decided to break it all to be sure!

That's another cleaning strategy.

The Drive-Thru Is About to Get Way Creepier
Seems like a chess move. Apple blocks a small percentage of users instead of all of them, which casts uncertainty on using Beeper Mini at all. It also allows them to A/B test various methods of blocking or honeypotting Beeper Mini logins without giving away any big secrets.

From Beeper's perspective, they now have to figure out why only those logins were blocked and if they need to patch something or not. Apple could be wasting their time and blocked random users out of spite.

Time will tell.
The only worthwhile thing it mentions is Ray Kurzweil, then discards it out of hand without actually considering the methodology because it must be unsound to be so precise:

> The few who did predict what ended up happening, notably Ray Kurzweil, made lots of other confident predictions (e.g., the Singularity around 2045) that seemed so absurdly precise as to rule out the possibility that they were using any sound methodology.

The methodology (ignoring all other detailed knowledge) is roughly our progress with computers and software being exponential for its entire history. What lay people don't get about literal exponential growth[0] is how slow it is (vs linear, polynomial) before it 'hockey sticks'. I assume everyone here knows that and the Wikipedia link is only for the pictured graph as reference. If each unit on the x-axis is a decade of computer hardware and software advancements, we may very well be only two ticks away from the singularity.

Wow. I had used Postfix back in the day for our mail exchange gateways, but had no idea that it originated from IBM. Postfix was a great piece of software- did one thing, did it well, was easy to configure and manage, and was secure to boot.
As an Apple customer here's my thoughts on this:

1. Yes I would love if iMessage went Android and all my Android friends were able to react, thread convos, and all the other perks that iMessage allows, BUT the color of the message doesn't matter to me. I'm ok with the green bubbles too.

2. If iMessages was available on Android, I and every iPhone user I know wouldn't be like "finally, I can leave Apple!" iMessage is a perk not the main draw. The wider ecosystem and walled garden that non-Apple users apparently hate so much is not-surprisingly lovely to those of us all in on it.
That’s also entirely USA centric and a byproduct of everyone sticking to SMS-phone number systems to chat. It drives me nuts.

WhatsApp. WeChat. Line. Kakao. Facebook Messenger. Most of the world has switched to these dedicated apps.

Only glimmer of hope is that gen-z/gen-alpha is really into Discord (at least all the ones I know). Might finally bring down the iMessage group chats.
Technically you could do it on your own. Practically speaking? I quit my job and went to school full time. I spent 2 years studying the stuff practically 10 hours a day. The only way this is socially acceptable is if you get a piece of paper at the end which says you did it.
Well, we always suspected, but now we know for sure. It is all Canada's fault.
Why are so many media organizations and news outlets quiet on this? I've been searching around for any hits of S-210 and it seems there's remarkably few! If you're Canadian let's spread the word!
Hey ubicloud!

Does it have zero downtime upgrades and HA?

We are currently self hosting postgres simply. But missing HA and zero downtime upgrades.

Thanks!
My point if you followed carefully is that "falsifiability" is inconsistent with the term "falsify" because "falsify" refers to the result of the test. Think carefully: a statement that is falsified means the result of the test is false.

So falsify refers to the result but falsifiability does not?

Reread my post, I don't think you read it fully. If falsifiability is defined as your claim then such a statement can be true:

"The Pythagorean theorem cannot be falsified but it is falsifiable"

Which sounds obviously nonsensical.

This is inconsistent with how we use the -able suffix in other words:

"The code cannot be extended but it is extendable"

I'm not referring to any official definition here, just pointing out the language problem that arises if we assume what you say is true. But here is the official definition anyway:

https://www.dictionary.com/browse/falsifiability

Which basically is pretty solid evidence for you being wrong. But at the same time I think you all are pulling some formalized definition from philosophy or something which probably has a different meaning defined for it. My argument is that the formalized definition is worse than the colloquial one in the English dictionary because the English definition is more logically consistent with the rest of the English language.

It's debatable which definition is more appropriate for this context. But assuming not everyone is a philosophy major I would say the definition in the English dictionary is more relevant.
