A good example of the enshittification of Twitter:

Instead of improving their UI / loading times / privacy standards, they just cut all alternatives off.

Just like reddit.

The user needs are treated like a child would - If I can't see them they're not there.

My bet is if they won't find a new niche, administer themselves (much unwoke, such legal battles, wow) instead of adapting to the users' needs. Eventually, a better option comes along and Twitter falls into oblivion.

Maybe they get some political money along the way.

Anyone want a physical copy of PG essays? Premium hardcover
My girlfriend is a huge PG fan and loves reading his blogs. But she always complain how she wishes she can carry the blogs around like a book and access it without a screen.

So for her birthday this year, I’m going to make a premium book (with hardcover and all that good stuff) with PG blogs. Just printing 1 is pretty expensive so I was wondering if anyone here would be interested in getting a copy too so I can hit a price break. I attached some photos of what it would look like on your coffee table/book shelf and I’m looking at $50 including shipping to your house. Would anyone be interested in getting in?
~90% of those who meet the age requirements have completed high school. Anyone who hasn't completed high school by that point almost certainly can't, and won't be accepted into the army for the same reason. The small number of exceptions who could, but have chosen not to, aren't exactly going to be attracted to the army if you force them into doing something they have explicitly chosen not to do.

Also, the article is from 2022 and the requirement was reinstated a week later, so this is moot anyway. At least as it pertains to the Army. Granted, the Navy lifted the same requirement on Friday. We shall see if they last longer than a week. There remains a strong social impetus, particularly in government, to paint a picture that you can't get a job without completing high school, even though everyone already completes it these days anyway...
It would seem to be in their self interest to not skew the test results. The military has done a lot of research on their testing. A soldier that is too incompetent is a danger to his/her comrades. Previous attempts to recruit soldiers with too low of an IQ was a disaster. More danger than help.

I don’t really see how they would he less trustworthy than a school board. Especially considering the stakes.
It’s somewhat more likely that you don’t statistically, yes. Admittedly I don’t really get the point when they already aptitude test, but I also like to hate the military so whatever.

This strikes me as a way to give yourself cancer, no?
I grew up in an "anti-military" household but tried to sign up when I had no opportunities after leaving high school without a diploma (and was turned away). I wasn't trying to sign up to fight -- just to survive. It's clear that many who do sign up do so for the same reason.

We collectively agreed on a national jobs program (via the military), so we should consider redirecting a significant portion of those jobs to a national jobs program that actually helps with domestic infrastructure with an emphasis on learning skills that translate into private sector opportunities.

Then let those that do want to fight be the ones to sign up, and make more effective use of them. I'm still not a fan of the military industrial complex but national defense will always be necessary and should be staffed for defense rather than just keeping people off the dole.
I disagree, the high 3 wasnt a good system. The difference between 2.0 and 2.5 % is minimal when you can completely lose the whole shebang at anytime for reasons that have nothing to do with your competence at any time between day 1 all the way through day 7304.
"DNS was invented so that you don't have to memorise IP addresses."

Prior to DNS it was necessary to have all the IP addresses one needed stored in a local file, HOSTS.TXT. It was not necessary to to memorise the addresses stored in this file. Memorisation of IP addresses was never a requirement to use the internet.

To this day, /etc/hosts allows me to avoid memorising IP addresses. No DNS required. But more importantly it allows me to avoid _having to type_ either IP addresses or domain names. I can assign short strings in place of typing addresses or domain names.

For example,

echo 127.0.0.1 localhost lo|sed -i -e 1r/dev/stdin -e 1N /etc/hosts

Now I can type "lo" without having to type "127.0.0.1" or "localhost"

echo 5.179.1.4 ftp.lanet.lv ftp1|sed -i -e 1r/dev/stdin -e 1N /etc/hosts

Now I can type "ftp1" instead of having to remember 5.179.1.4 or ftp.lanet.lv

echo ls |ftp ftp://ftp1/pub

There are some useful IPv4 addresses that I did memorise over the years.

For example, by memorising a root server address such as 198.41.0.4 I can lookup the IP address for any domain name, using non-recursive queries to only authoritative DNS servers, without using a DNS cache like 8.8.8.8 or some other third party DNS "service". All I need is a stub resolver, like dnsq, drill or dq.

By memorising the IP address of a .com nameserver, such as 192.5.6.30, I can lookup any .com domain name using the same non-recursive methodology. All the third party DNS caches could be poisoned, have outages or whatever. I would not need any of them to continue using the web.

And by memorising the address for getting a copy of the root zone, i.e., 192.0.32.9, I can avoid having to make DNS queries to find out the namservers for any TLD. I can use HTTP or FTP to retrieve the zone data.

ftp -4 ftp://192.0.32.9/pub/root.zone

As it happpens I store lots of historical DNS data so if there was a massive DNS outage I can still continue using the web uninterrupted. Day-to-day I'm not using remote DNS much. I'm using stored DNS data retrieved in bulk at some time point in the past. For the data I retrieve, very few addresses change often if at all.

I like IPv4. I think it will be around for the duration of my lifetime. It works everywhere and I like reliability. I disable IPv6 on the computers I can fully control. (Obviously "smartphones" are excluded from the list, that's why they suck as computers.) When compiling software that has "--disable-IPv6" as a configure option, I always disable IPv6. I also disable getaddrinfo() when it's an option. I prefer gethostbyname().
I think this was posted many hours ago. Was it first deleted?

Either way, I understand why he’s frustrated. SF local politicians are extremely corrupt. They’ll do anything to get poor people to vote for them so they can continue to stay in power to siphon money from the wealthy and tech population. Big problems never get solved in this city.

That said, the tweets were poor taste from Tan. Could be a fireable offense. Sad.
Feels like a bunch of BS excuses.
My issue with IPv6 is online gaming doesn’t seem to support it at all. Valorant and similar online competitive games are IPv4 only; despite IPv6 having considering upsides for real time games. I think you could get real uptake from gamers if it was supported (due to possible latency benefits, even if they’re only small)

>False, the default behavior is the same as IPv4/NAT.

The default behavior it is not the same as IPv4 with NAT, where the internet and local are different networks.

>It is not unlike a random uuid or even a mac address in that the address is simply globally unique in nature, but not necessarily accessible unless you deliberately configure it to be, not unlike how one deliberately configures port forwarding in a local NAT based network firewall.

The prefix the ISP gives to the router for to assign the IPv6 addresses to computers and devices it is the prefix of the unique uuid each one will get assigned. An unique IPv6 address is assigned to each one of these computers and devices, case contrary they would not be accessible from internet.

If the firewall fails or if it's shut down, all get exposed to internet, because IPv6 it is designed to make every computer and device part of the internet network by default & design.

IPv6 does allow you to have a client on any ISP to not rely on IPv4: NAT64/DNS64 is one example for a home network (my experience). There are major mobile carriers that will also disagree, and they provide an IPv6-only technical solution.

> It's hard to estimate how increasing percentage of users with IPv6 access is impacting the demand for public IPv4 addresses.

I'm more interested in this excellent point you make, about the economics. I don't think this has been thought through as well as the technology.

And can we please find additional sources other than GOOG for IPv6 adoption?

More likely the question is going to be how far parody and satire can allow for the use celebrity likeness, a much blurrier line and not anywhere near cut and dried; you only have to look at sketch comedy to see a whole lot of impressions where name, likeness and voice were all imitated for the purposes of comedy. Will Sasso himself did a bunch of that while he performed on MadTV.

It also has little to with AI. The fidelity of the imitation is higher, but is that the biggest issue when the content in question makes it plainly obvious that it's an impression? No one was fooled that it was Carlin, they were fooled that it was written by an AI.

That’s not directly relevant in terms of energy density. We can do an apples to apples comparison for the full lifecycle efficiency, but here gas comes off even worse.

Extracting, transporting, manufacturing, and distributing gas takes quite a lot of energy. ~30-50% of gas CO2 emissions occur before you burn it though exact number depends on the specific source etc. But what we care about is vehicle ranges etc not this wider picture.

The problem is that a high school education represents literally years of knowledge a person has accumulated. People not having that knowledge means they will not be able to participate.

It's not about whether they will be smart enough to learn; it's about the fact that they will have to be taught. There's no foundation to build on, there's no axiomatic knowledge we can rely on.

People who haven't graduated high school are inferior. They're not less human, but they are incontrovertibly less able.

Denying that might feel good, but society didn't mandate 10 years of public education for shits and giggles.

It seems that there's enough of a divide between HN and YC. As I posted elsewhere, look at the common values expressed on HN, and you'll find plenty of YC startups that are diametric opposites of those values.

They should institute a voluntary conscripted amnesty/asylum for those who entered into the country and are on immigration parole. This program could allow for retroactive application to spouses/children (no extended family transferability until completion of service contract).

There would be no need for sign-on bonus, you could add additional qualifications for g.i. benefits in the form of naturalization.

It would really be a net positive as they would be forced to assimilate into our society in a way that is a net benefit at many different layers of the civil stack. The kind of people who are willing to serve the country rather than acting as a sanctioned entitlement case would be a win/win. No?
