IllumOS needs to attract new developers. To do that, the platform build needs to become a lot more straightforward. It's a pretty huge endeavour in my opinion. I'd be happy to help out on that regard, but in the past Joyent has not been very open to outside support.
His entire argument is that market odds don't match up with his "common sense".
Ask HN: Best Browser-Based Games
I asked this a while back but only got two responses.

What are the best games you've played that you can play directly in your browser? Esp ones that are unusual, have high replay value or an interesting design/look to them.
Everyone here seems to be forgetting the root of this problem:

Algorithms that select content (including ads) need to be treated as publishers rather than platforms.

"facebook.com/users/my_friend/posts_in_cronological_order" is a platform

"facebook.com/my_feed" is a publisher
Everyone is capable of learning. I can hire someone who is capable of learning Japanese. They can then try to teach the rest of the team Japanese. Does that mean it's a good idea to switch all our internal docs to Japanese? Maybe if I was building a startup in Japan. Similarly, writing internal docs in English for a startup in Japan would be of equal difficulty and value. Hooray, we're learning! And struggling more than needed to build a product.

You're better off hiring experienced people who are highly productive. If they're highly productive with one stack, it makes no sense to change their stack so they're no longer productive, or hiring people who aren't familiar with it and waiting for them to become productive.

There's nothing wrong with using old, well established things. They're quite often better than new things. As long as they're still supported, just use whatever builds a working product. It's the end product that matters.
You're going a little overboard with the snark. It must be nice to exist on a higher plane than the other participants in the discussion. But if you freely choose to descend to our level, it's bad form to complain about it.

I cannot recall the Simpsons episode where Homer kills Bart. I suppose you could use the image to make a joke about cartoonishly strangling someone.

If Tan wasn't joking about wishing death on the people he listed then I have to wonder what exactly he was joking about. He wasn't the original author of the words in the tweet (a point that I think you're overly fixated on), but he chose them and knew what they meant. However, to me, the interesting question here isn't exactly what Garry Tan was thinking (I'm guessing the answer is "not much" – he was clearly off his head). It's how the CEO of YC is someone who could apparently take lessons in effective communication and good judgment from 14 year olds on TikTok.
I'm curious about this. What happened that you "can't" see your sister? Have you tried, or is this one of those situations where you're both too proud to admit it?
As to the your second question: WARC is based on an older format that was started in the 1990s, before SQLite existed.
If you use anything other than their offering, and the Google bot gets hit with a captcha, Google won't crawl the page. They give themselves an exception with their own offering.
Multi-GPU in desktop chassis gets crazy pretty quickly. If you don't care about aesthetics and can figure out both the power delivery and PCI-E lane situation, https://timdettmers.com/2023/01/30/which-gpu-for-deep-learni... has an example that will make a Bitcoin mining rig look clean.

Water cooling can get you down to 2x slot height, with all of the trouble involved in water cooling. NVIDIA really segmented the market quite well. Gamers hate blower cards, but they are the right physical dimensions to make multi-GPU work well, and they are exclusively on the workstation cards.
Yeah those links don't even work for me anymore as it's a tracking site.

Here's Matt Levine's (the Bloomberg columnist) take[1].

Your comment begs the question of whether or not those age restrictions are a "solved problem." In the US, government age restrictions on movies DO NOT exist for the exact reason the government cannot impose age restrictions on social media: the First Amendment flatly forbids it.
That doesn't sound like a bad distinction. If you're shuffling the stories around to maximize some metric, you're no longer an impartial carrier, you're actively biasing what someone sees.
The email seems confusing on this point. As far as I can tell, most Recaptcha features already cost $1 per thousand uses. The $40/k -> $1/k reduction applies only to the "transaction protection" feature.

The point was to give an UNpopular opinion. The current driving system is a joke in need of reform. The poor suffer the most.

IMO people just need to cut some of the BS with this driving stuff. I don't think judges really go particularly leniently anymore. You can't function without a car.

The reality is that we probably need to accept that driving is here to stay as a basic NEED and act accordingly. Certain people that are extremely dangerous drivers are going to get their rights curtailed, however we should also support everyone functioning in society.

I think we need to get closer to the system I saw in Netherlands, however IMO it really fell short of what I want to see. Until we surpass this, I think we just need to accept driving.

Lots of jurisdictions, even in EU have vast areas with poor service. Most cities I've been in would be fine with public transit. It's networks of large population centers that can be easily connected, especially with good bike culture we could be just like the Netherlands. It's large swaths of the non-city land that contain people and towns that would be a challenge.

You can't just not drive. It raises alarm bells and attracts unwanted attention. I'm not the only one that's experienced this, I think you can find this on /r/fuckcars. An employer almost called the cops on me once. It's fucking weird. That's not even getting into how unsafe it can be.

How can we pretend this is a "privilege"? IMO it's like calling healthcare a privilege (which btw I also think is a right)
Did you even try reading? It's made super clear at the start.
I didn't present any personal opinions, just additional facts and context from the books. If you want to ignore it and latch onto some misguided moral relativist notion about the spiders being good an defensive, fine. However, the books and author literally says the opposite. The spiders are Tolkien equivalent of demon spawn, have invaded the forest, and now pretty on travelers.
And I hope they all go to prison. Used to be you'd be hanged for stealing a horse. Taking a person's means of transport is evil. I am, indeed, a vindictive and violent driver, apparently.

Thankfully large projects generally have feedback loop systems to figure out how to parse that feedback.

The rest of your comment isn't particularly contributing to the discussion here, short of trying to re-cement a broken take.

Netflix will have the patents and decide not to do anything with them. They're not idiots. Not making an app and not investing in R&D for future display formats are quite different. The first is reasonable but the second would be unacceptable for a strong video platform.
>and no other likely purchaser exists

this seems like the important part of that doctrine, and a perfect justification for why an amazon acquisition shouldn't be allowed.

letting a company fail really just means letting it sink far enough that some other acquirer will pick it up.
2.5 cents is not much compared to what grandparent was complaining about, 40 cents. And when capacity is strained, guess what? They'll build more.

Your defeatism (elsewhere in the thread) is a bit tiring. On the other hand, once people decided to go to the Moon. They did it and returned safely! But according to you building a power plant and laying another set of cables per region is an insurmountable problem.

Can't really refute the weird feeling. But there's often a reason! (like, it makes totally more sense to install a library from within the Lisp REPL and not from the terminal, we can use it right away)
Is it worse or better for you that these same companies will purposely schedule less hours for workers so they don't meet the legal threshold to be considered full time employees?
What makes HN different from FB? Is it just the scale? You see stupid stuff posted here. You even see things get flagged fairly quickly. Crowdsourced moderation. But I can't imagine that would work for FB. Is it that there's literally no bar when it comes to who can post what on FB? Whereas on HN there's a bar, and often the bar is dictated by the nature of the post itself (popular topic vs some niche where only a small subset will comment anything).

StackOverflow and all the other Overflow sites also crowdsourcing moderation, but there you get you question getting flagged because you didn't look hard enough or your question is too similar to one asked 8 years ago.

There's also tons of niche forums where maybe a few dozen or a few hundred people visit and participate. They likely get some spam, but never really the type of stuff you see (in my case hear about) on FB.

Another extreme example maybe 4chan. Some boards of course are filled with stupid people, but others are quite tame. Such as stark difference on just one site.

This is normal for US foreign policy thinking. No official enemy has any agency except a few top-tier foreign adversaries, who are all madmen trying to take over the world. If anyone has a grievance with the US it's because Iran or Russia or China told them to because we're so great what else could the reason be? We literally had Nancy Pelosi claiming that people who call for a ceasefire in Gaza are puppets of Putin.
It is not likely that it would be immediately useful outside of our hardware, but the main thing they're doing is deploying virtual machines. If they decided to no longer use the Oxide rack they have purchased, they would move their VMs to whatever infrastructure they choose to succeed it.
Believe it or not but there is a whole world beyond San Francisco and NYC. And those cities are thriving.
Bard censorship is annoying. One thing I've found (free) Bard to better than the rest at is summarizing book chapters, manuals, and docs. It is also surprisingly good at translation (X to English), as it often adds context to what its translating.

With careful prompt engineering, you can get a lot out of free Bard except when its censored.
Allright, social graphs then. I use social graphs and e-gov interchangeably, but social graphs might be better.

I’m purchasing a printer with the hope that it spits out pages reliably with as few jams as possible for a reasonable price.

South China Morning Post is trying to figure it out.[1] "A Hong Kong court on January 29 ordered the liquidation of China’s property giant Evergrande, but the firm said it would continue to operate in a case that has become a symbol of the nation’s deepening economic woes." "Given that most of the company’s assets are onshore, we do not think that offshore bondholders would receive substantial recovery proceeds from the liquidation. In addition, it is unclear whether the Hong Kong court’s liquidation order could be enforced onshore; there has been some mutual recognition of bankruptcy proceedings between Hong Kong and mainland courts, but the enforcement is difficult in practice." Reads like their reporter called up the usual suspects for comments.

There's nothing at all about Evergrande in China Daily, which means there's no official position yet.

I think there is a very different dynamic from what Google is doing and what some of those other companies are doing. For example, I'm not aware that AirBNB significantly changed their commission rates at all. I know originally lots of hosts weren't requiring taxes, for example, but that's really a very different thing. Similarly, I don't have as much of a problem if a company charges X per instance of something and then over time raises rates to, say, 1.25 * X.

What Google does, though, is charge 0 for X instances of something, and then say "we're providing additional pricing options" by now charging 0 for only 0.01 * X, but then everything else has a much higher per-instance cost. They also do this with products where the switching costs are relatively high. That's much different than just saying "Oh well, I'll cancel my Netflix subscription because they raised the rates by 25%".
BALanced Execution through Natural Activation:a HCI methodology for code running
BALENA is a voice interaction framework utilizing state-of-the-art natural language processing and audio processing models to create a system that can interpret voice commands and associate them with predefined actions. The framework leverages the power of transformers and signal processing to understand user intent via spoken language and correlates them with a series of predefined actionable responses.
Features

- Real-time audio streaming and recording: Record audio from the microphone in real time for processing.
- Speech recognition with Wav2Vec 2.0: Use a pre-trained Wav2Vec 2.0 model to convert speech to text.
- Text similarity and action triggering: Encode the transcribed text to a vector space and find the closest action using sentence similarity techniques.
- High-pass filtering: Process the audio signal with a high-pass filter to enhance signal quality.
- Auto-correction: Utilize the Jaccard distance to correct words in the transcribed text auto-magically.
- Framework flexibility: Support for different device execution contexts, allowing for usage on both CPU and CUDA devices.
This is exactly what union usually work for though. High barrier of entry combined with high salary. It's just that union fought to keep it that way instead of at the whim of company.

But still, looks like this is why software engineers are very allergic of union. The same environment already guarantees those properties and adding union on top only makes it sour. That environment's disappearance lately make union possible once more.
Spirit being about to "certainly fail" is debatable, and JetBlue is not the only willing purchaser of Spirit.

One outcome is Spirit goes into bankruptcy reorganization and still operates, which is hardly unprecedented for an American airline. Nearly every major airline has filed for Chapter 11 since 2002, the lone exception being Southwest.
Judging by how many of my kid's friends under 13 have various accounts already, I'm not sure that's the case.
Andre Agassi on Working Three Hours a Day and Playing Tennis in Jorts
You can read HN threads about this issue and see the kernel of truth on both sides of the argument of whether antisemitism is "weaponized" by supporters of Israel, but you do your side of the argument no favors throwing around phrases like "their hasbara appendages like ADL". I'm well aware of the criticisms leveled against the ADL, and they may well be valid, but you're obliged to introduce them more seriously and carefully if you don't want to come across sounding like you believe any Jewish advocacy group is definitionally politically Zionist and thus ineligible to charge antisemitism.
With Broadcom’s plan for VMWare, Oxide certainly seems to have had excellent timing here.
I love the picture with the Duracell 9v. Geologists traditionally use pennies to show scale. A penny was sent to mars on the Curiosity rover. Nope. Physicists are different than, to quote Sheldon, the "dirt people". They will use a Duracell.

To me, the more interesting aspect is not the fastest solutions, but the variance. There's an almost 2-orders-of-magnitude difference between the fastest safe solution and the baseline entry. When looking at an earlier run (before people started copying off solutions from one another), the standard deviation was 10s, which is 3x bigger than the fastest safe solution; even the standard deviation for the top 20 was more than 4s. In other words, clever algorithms and "mechanical sympathy" makes a much bigger difference than unsafe code, and only few of even the top performers got to the point where unsafe code makes a significant difference.
Current battery tech has a slow and steady progression of improvement. There is bound to be a market disruptor at some point in the future, but it’s far from a guarantee that it’s going to be hydrogen.

I believe the biggest hurdle to any changes to current battery tech is that it costs so much to develop an entirely new process and build factories. Most innovation is in the form of small adjustments. For hydrogen to overcome this hurdle it would have to either be extremely cheap or have some unique property. For cars I don’t see hydrogen having that much of an advantage, but maybe electric planes would be feasibly powered by hydrogen due to the much improved weight to energy ratio.
Are 99% of Windows users thinking of switching from Chrome to Edge?
Not the commenter you originally addressed, but I used to use a Brother printer that was purchased around 2016-2017. I once bought third-party cartridges and the printer noticed that the cartridges weren't first-party and refused to print. I can't recall the model number, but it was an inkjet printer, not laser.

I didn't have any other objections to the printer, for what it's worth.
I could add 2c. If you ever need to store some meta alongside the message in a DB. For example status, some execution history, etc. Then it's better to avoid MQ at all. Of course if you can scale DB access from workers and you can couple producers/consumers via the same DB. But it's the case for almost all applications TBH.
You can make active queries, with the user's involvement. The verifier can potentially have a prompt with e.g. "The site you were just on would like to know that you are over 21. Would you like to share that with them?"

We do need to get people onto ipv6 so CGNAT can die. Restricted services could potentially disallow signups or require more knowledge (e.g. full ID) if coming from shared IPs as a risk mitigation strategy, depending on how liable we want to hold them to properly validate age. If you've already signed up for facebook at home, obviously you don't need to validate your age again at the cafe.

Fake IDs exist in the real world. The system doesn't have to be perfect, and we can say that there's some standard of reasonable verification that they should do for these sorts of cases.

Personally I'm more in favor of an approach where sites label their content in a way where parents can configure filters (ideally using labels that are descriptive enough that we don't get into fights over what's "adult", and instead leave that decision to individual families), but if we're going to go an ID-based route, there are at least more private ways we could do it, and I think technologists should be discussing that, and perhaps someone at one of these big companies can propose it.
Ah! Thank you, that does make sense. In that case this sounds like it won't be cheaper for anyone, but that in absolute terms there's a cap of $990/m for users right at the top end of the previously free allowance, and the $8/m plan for 100k impressions will probably account for many users.
