This is always impossible in totalitarian countries. Where there are clear rules, there are possibilities to use them against those who wrote them - and this is exactly what totalitarian country will never ever allow (otherwise it would be not totalitarian country). This is the whole point of censorship: to ban not what is written in some rules, but what must be banned and when it must.

To be completely honest, I think the "exit strategy" for EVERYONE here is to go into activism / politics.

AI can be a huge booster for many things, but it's going to increase inequalities WILDLY, even for people who thought they were "safe and out of reach"

If we make robots work for us, the benefits should be equitably redistributed to everyone (and that means everyone, even to other countries through subsidies, etc)

This means: TAX THE RICH, REDISTRIBUTE, PROTECT DEMOCRACY

this is the only way forward (and also: PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT)

and as much as AI might help to make discoveries it's going to:

- burn electricity and pollute, increasing climate change (think about people replacing "watching Netflix" by "let's burn 5h of GPU to generate my own personal movie for tonight, and repeat that every night, multiplied by 7 billion people)

- increase inequalities (why would Jeff Bezos and Sam Altman get 99% of the profit of a tech which is largely developed through the shared contribution of ALL OF HUMANITY in the form of texts, images, videos on the internet used as training)

- lower confidence in democracy (think incredibly realistic deep-fakes, very smart "troll bots" on Twitter working for foreign powers)

- lower confidence in the social fabric (people preferring AI girlfriends to real people, bullying each other, making "nude AI photographs")
There aren't many ways to get more condescending than this. Congrats.
I left dark mode forever once I realized that light mode drastically reduces the general problem of monitor glare.
When I think of Hunters Point I think of Gommer Pyle pouring a bucket of expired radium paint into a hole dug in the base commanders flower garden.
Could I do something to make things easier to my users and they will probably like?

No, it's a lobby to make dark mode happen.

Jesus, it's ridiculous sometimes. You don't even have to force dark mode or anything, but why refuse to offer customization like it's some moral high ground.
It’s a shame you believe that a blog post on someone’s personal repeated experiences (as reflected in other people’s comments in this thread) is somehow comparable to dark mode zealotry and regular comments/personal attacks about non-dark mode.
what makes you think that "women were exclusive to that man" ?
Interesting but impossible to prove as there is not any histological research done and could be easily an artifact, or a fake.

As the skin looks healthy around the area without almost no color or texture response

...and the mushroom is displaced from a normal up-down position,

...and the frog is alive and didn't tried to remove it...

...and that we know that this genus of fungus is saprophytic and live on dead plants. Frog skin evolved to have a complex cocktail of chemicals, totally different than dead wood cellulose so, what is this mushroom eating exactly?.

my bet would be that the Mycena is growing on a wood splint in the frog body. This is the safer explanation at this moment with this data.

Mycena grow often on indoor pots at the extreme of sticks when the compost is cheap. Plant owners always are alarmed and ask about it.

I'm not against changing the paradigm but would require much more solid data than this.

Thank you so much for your feedback. It was constructive and honestly a bit harsh. Could you please share what areas or messages would be helpful for us to break into the market better?
I have a hunch that a lot of complaining about "light mode" is because people's monitors are too bright.

I always make sure that my monitors are set so that a full white screen is comfortable to look at indefinitely. (With this in mind I find I enjoy light mode themes more than dark mode ones. YMMW. (Obviously blacks should be close to real black with this setup for proper contrast. All in all, a well calibrated monitor should be a joy to look at no matter the color theme.))
Reading the article helps avoid gaffes like this comment.
Thankfully some terminals come with an "enhance contrast" feature to help distinguish too similar colors between foreground and background.

Isn't dark mode part of being green (or greenwashing)? By making their product or website dark by default, a company can claim to save energy and hence the planet. Maybe it can go in some report somewhere about "what we do to reduce emissions". Similarly, system clocks don't show seconds.

I don't object to this as a default, so long as it's optional. It probably works as intended at saving whatever tiny fraction of world energy use.

Speaking of green things, I faintly remember green and amber monochrome monitors being marketed as reducing eyestrain. I assume white phosphor was more expensive, or just couldn't be used as a gimmick.
Or we can just face reality and start actively controlling the climate (meaning reduce temperature directly without doing what's essentially outlawed by the second law of thermodynamics. Ie. unmixing gases)

Ironically, solar panels do exactly what. Especially on water. Water absorbs 93% of solar radiation. Solar panels aborb 30% to 70%. Global warming (all of it, all 150 years) is about a 0.7% change in albedo, so "bad" (30% absorption 70% reflection) solar planels on water (or concrete, or grass) undo ALL global warming on 90 times their surface area. And you can do better than that. You can just paint 3% of the land area of the planet of 1% of the ocean, and undo global warming.
Bring back theming. It used to be that most applications would respect user color preferences. I like the old "Hot Dog Stand"[0] theme from Windows 3.1, because it's an implicit acknowledgement that it's not the OS's job to enforce good taste. User freedom is more important.

Yeah, I massively simplified the history for the sake of my argument.

My monitors at home and at work do not detect ambient light, and some of them are ridiculously expensive! They, turned up to the highest brightness or even the default (80%?) are much brighter than older screens.

I used to run an older screen and a new one next to each other, and the difference was very notable. Of course they ended up being the same brightness because I changed their settings, but by default, the new one was brighter (because it could).

Murnitur is creating a Site Reliability Tool which monitors services like Websites, APIs, Kubernetes containers and notifies when there is a downtime or degraded performance.
It also allows for transparency between companies and their users, allowing the companies to create public and private status pages to give insights of their services to private stakeholders or public users. Murnitur also provides on-call scheduling which alows the company to setup shifts of those who will be on-call to handle incidents when they happen. Murnitur comes with a fully functional incident management system.

Today, we concluded the Owl Project, a scientific computing project originated from Computer Lab at Cambridge University eight years ago. It was a difficult but inevitable decision. Despite this challenging decision, we remain incredibly proud of our achievements over this nearly eight-year journey and are grateful to everyone who supported us. Please refer to the Linkedin post for full notice.
Thanks for this. Kevin has been a part of the Bay Area SF fandom community for a very long time, and I’ve never known him to be anything other than a good, honorable person. I was saddened to see his name on the list of people associated with this, and would have a hard time believing he’d ever act intentionally to undermine Worldcon or the Hugos.
This has been one of my most surprising/weird experiences working for US startups. In the other two countries I've been, at the very least my manager sat with each of us, or in group, or some sort of announcement when someone I was working with would stop (either voluntarily or involuntarily). Seeing names and 1-1 conversations just disappear from Slack without anyone saying anything is very bizarre.

But I had to learn that as a lesson as well, since I might've learned something from them and left e.g. some commands that I use once every few months in the chat, now gone forever. This is also literally the only reason I have Linkedin, so I don't suddenly lose contact with those people (I don't have FB).
Good grief this is narrow minded. Obviously we cannot limit all usage of screens to doing work in a bright room (and during the day presumably - you don't really want to have a sunlamp turned on next to you at midnight).
it's going to be an "industrial revolution" all over again, except this time the "factory workers" of yesterday are going to be even us, the "knowledge workers"

So we better learn from history, and ask the people in power to redistribute before the social fabric is completely destroyed and people can barely sustain themselves
When I sit in the sun with my laptop, like outside in a cafe, I need to have everything on the brightest setting and light mode, and then I can see well. It feels great, too.
The point of the article, which I hope you did in fact read, is that some sites force dark mode on the user, so "just use whatever setup you prefer" doesn't work.

This is particularly hard now when many sites use images of program code in order to get syntactic highlighting, because your page rewriting extensions do nothing.
> because I only write it once, in my Button component.

Unless of course you have several similar buttons with only minor differences between them. Maybe copy-paste?

And then you have to slightly tweak your buttons... Or add conditional effects or dark mode and the complexity explodes, just on a simple button.

attention is limited so content has to get either shorter (like tiktok) or better quality.

the bottleneck (as now) will be awareness. thats why content curation is important

so the question is who will be the gatekeepers of awareness.

right now its centralised platforms and influencer marketing.

maybe in future decentralised platforms will allow you distrubute content and get paid. something like farcaster is maybe a preview of that.
I usually use dark text on white. But things are changing. Getting older means I need glasses to read text.

What has changed over the years:

* usage times of modern screens goes way up: watch (very bright OLED with tiny screen), phone (OLED), tablets (very bright Mini LED) , laptops (very bright Mini LED, LCD), desktop monitors (LCD) and a desktop TV (OLED) connected to a computer

* most are high-res screens

* shorter viewing distances

* lots of video conferences and usage of networked software

* darker surroundings in home office especially during winter, brighter surroundings during summer. I have the OS switches modes based on day time / brightness.

* eye fatigue after a long day looking at screens, brightness sensitivity during illness caused by infection

In darker surroundings, at home, in the evening, I prefer nowadays white text on black backgrounds. For example an OLED TV as a desktop monitor.

For home-office work I bought a bright desk LED lamp (max 5000lm) with lots of indirect light. The quality of LED lamps has increased lately (no flicker, dimming and color modes, auto dimming, lots of indirect light, networked, can be configured with an app). I like that a lot. There I don't use dark modes. I also have increase usage of pen+paper for notes.

Why mention the Olympics? I don't think anybody's concern was that the Worldcon isn't corrupt enough, or that it's not doing enough to leverage its prestige to entrench corporate greed?

These 'top 10 tips' have put us in a strange place re reporting on suicide. The news becomes very cryptic with a lot that's unsaid.
To be fair a lot of the GPU edge comes from fast memory. A GPU with 20tflops running a 30 billion parameter model has a compute budget of 700flops per parameter. Meanwhile the sheer size of the model prevents you from loading it more than 20 times from memory per second.
The puzzle at the end sounds very human. The more dishonest see dishonesty in more places, even if they see something that isn't there.

Yes, but it isn't used on its own like that so it doesn't apply. It's used as part of compounds like 'o-kyaku-sama' (valued customer) or after someone's name.

Because if your only argument is “what about” then it’s not an argument. You’re just diverting original discussion.
I appreciate your perspective, but I'm not entirely convinced that this proves anything. We seem to have differing opinions on this matter.
You’ve written the same message, almost verbatim multiple times in this thread.

Google also writes applications in golang, maintains their own version of the Linux kernel and runs a browser monopoly. What works/doesn’t work for them shouldn’t be treated as the only standard worth considering. FWIW, fb makes plentiful use of it as I understand.

Docker doesn’t block IO_URING syscalls, you just have to be able to lock memory.

Clearly you have an axe to grind about io_uring, which is fine, I guess? But you’re really going out of your way to make it seem like it’s the worst thing ever, which is a extra.
Show HN: Open-Source Tournament System
Over the last year, I developed a tournament system (Bracket).

Most (if not all) tournament systems available online are paid and ask tons of money (a typical minimum subscription costs 50 euros per month, and go up to 500 euros per month or so), which is not feasible for many small sport clubs/individuals. So I developed my own system and put it publicly on GitHub.

I made this tournament system for my badminton club and hosted three tournaments successfully.

It features flexible setups, where a tournament can have multiple stages and each stage can have multiple "items" (round robin, single elimination or swiss).

Backend is written in async Python with FastAPI and frontend in Next.js with the great Mantine library.

I would appreciate some feedback.

Completely - they simplify the act of transforming data into visualizations down to the essential association of dimensions to axes/color/etc visualization concerns.
I feel like LeCunn often gets it half right and then gets overzealous/has a conflict of interest. I think there are good reasons to be less than perfectly optimistic that OpenAI's claims will bear out (The kind of errors SORA makes seem to imply that "simulation" may be a stretch in my opinion, I talked about this a little in the thread about that announcement and honestly when I first read this post I thought he hit the nail on the head until about the fifth sentence), but I don't think there's strong evidence to suggest that they definitely can't yet, and this seems more like a sales pitch for the model he's currently working on than an expert making a particularly compelling case via better understanding of the theory or practice of this thing

Like, in general I think there's a lot of hype around AGI and that skepticism toward OpenAI's claims isn't completely unwarranted, but the amount of public attention on the topic lately has caused everyone to commit to very hard lines that lack nuance about the implications of various advances. It's in some ways cool that AI is no longer just an academic curiosity, but it makes for a lot of nonsense to slog through, even from top researchers

I'm sorry you've had bad personal experiences with what sounds like shitty people, but that has nothing to do with UI theme choices, or the existence of a "Dark Mode Lobby".

Many thanks for this book! Think Python 2nd is the first book I've ever read in order to teach myself programming.

Now I've come a long way to become an actual developer shipping real products and have certainly learned a whole lot more on the topic, but I still think the first steps are the most important/difficult ones. Although I've moved away from Python towards other platforms such as Rust, the basic concepts covered in this book are still very much relevant.

I'm really excited to learn that Think Python has become more modern and interactive with this update!

I’d be curious to see the actual design. How much existing aluminum are they replacing with wood? Assuming the wood is purely structural, doesn’t that leave solar panels and internal propulsion/electronics as is which happen to make up the most of a satellite’s volume?

The Portugal model consists of decriminalisation, harm reduction and rehabilitation, but the Portuguese government has basically defunded the rehabilitation programs. Seems to me no wonder that the approach is failing if you take away the one factor that would reduce addictions, but also disingenuous to claim that the entire approach was a mistake. It worked, and now after defending an important part of it, it no longer works.

Not necessarily disagreeing with you regarding the people that are imagining things, but with a device so relatively popular as the Apple Watch, this could be very well explained by a software update that messed up the touch screen "driver" and is generating ghost touches. As the update rolled out, it started affecting more and more users who turn to the forums to look for help.

One consequence of these ghost touches would be inputting the wrong PIN which will initially lock the device for one minute, so I don't see what's strange about that.

Which messages, specifically, are you referring to with "exact time & date" and "same timestamp"? I skimmed through them but nothing of sort stood out.

The river police and the transport police have a pretty traumatic job in London. But the RNLI, also mentioned in the article, is the maritime search and rescue service for the UK. It’s completely funded by charitable donations and most of the crew are unpaid volunteers; anyone can volunteer. Edit, submitted before finished: At many other towns and cities around the UK which don’t have specialist police units like this and where there are also suicide hotspots the job of body recovery falls to these volunteers.

True. The "dark mode" button just strikes me as equally childish, though it's obviously a joke in this case.
