> Here's the era, in two charts

Out of curiosity, what are you seeing? Rates going down is bad?

Here's the last millenia [1]. You'll notice a long-term trend of decreasing rates.

You're significantly misunderstanding the changes.

> now you can’t restrict who can send you a message unless you have a premium.

And before that you just weren't able to restrict that at all, there was no such feature. They didn't remove this feature for free users - it never existed. They just added it right now only for paid users.

> premium users can bypass non-premium users privacy setting “last seen and online”

That is absolutely not what the feature is. If you hide YOUR OWN last seen time, you won't be able to see last seen time of other users, even when they have it public. Now, premium users will be able to see public last seen times of other people if they hide their own. But they obviously still can't see last seen time of people who set it to private, that would've been very dumb.
Yeah, I believe they send DSL through the same lines that they don't want to support anymore.
Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated! It looks like you've flattened your SPF record, causing a large number of log messages. I'll see what I can do to better highlight the line that produces the 'pass' result.
Telegram isn't a messaging service. It's a social network with a messenger UI. Quite ingenious, if you'd ask me, but a social network and a private messenger can't really be reconciled into a single product.
Libraries in a single process are tricky because so many things are dependent on messages. So a piece of code running inside another process has to rely on the "hosting" process to deliver all of the messages it needs. So if it monitors another process it needs to have its DOWNs delivered to it. If it wants to use a timer it needs the timer messages delivered to it. If it wants to make synchronous GenServer.calls, the parent process needs to be aware of that and plan around it (i.e. realizing that it may be stuck while waiting on that call to complete).

A separate process can own its responsibilities.
If it was up to me I'd make adding options to the context menu something that you can't do without specifically choosing to in the control panel. Applications could supply context options to the OS but those shouldn't be displayed without the user going in and allowing each one specifically.
This is the first one that I’ve seen involving a fixed wing craft.
A cloud is network and tools, less hardware. For example see this [1] Reddit thread discussing network in Hetzner. Any other bare-metal would have same challenges. Once you solve network security you have to deal with server access. People hired and fired, hardcoded SSH keys is a bad idea. Once you solve access you likely have AD, LDAP and SSO of some sort. Then backups, and automated test suite + periodical test recoveries. Then database and backups. Then secrets, does all members of your team know production db password? And so on and on.

Maybe TCO still favors bare-metal but you have to spend a lot of time on configuration.

Crypto-currency isn't about the technology.

It's a political experiment centred around replacing the existing financial system.

And the mistake there is that people in the crypto space are ignorant about how that world works. Namely that there is such a large overlap with the government that you're in essence trying to disrupt governments. Which is a losing battle.
Rules historically have not been an impediment to the NSA. Worst case, they can be ignored, best case, they can be interpreted with extreme creativity. Five Eyes partners are not subject to the same rules, and information can be shared freely with them.

This continued insistence (widespread - not just you!) on the benevolence and good faith of US intelligence, post-Snowden, doesn't make any sense to me.
RE your edit, I’m assuming you’re already aware that Kagi lets you create custom bangs, but just in case you’re not, you can create your own shortcuts that when preceded by an exclamation mark like !so can redirect to or search other websites. I use this to append ‘site:reddit.com’ when I add !r to a query, for example.
100% disagree.

The difference is that a Roku or Fire Stick is $50 or less. If I need to upgrade my device to support a new compression standard or something, it's only $50 to replace, rather than needing to buy a whole new TV.

It's definitely more practical to buy a dumb TV and connect a streaming device, especially when smart TVs value their smart functionality at a couple hundred dollars.

I'd far rather buy a dumb OLED for $1500 and connect a $50 Fire Stick than buy a $2000 OLED with smart features, if it was an option.

Seriously, what's the benefit for having all that built into your TV?

I would still buy from them because their reputation trumps any concerns.
> Chapman also said that he’s never been dogmatic about there being only five love languages — it’s just that these five categories are the best way to group the innumerable expressions of love that people can show. Over the years, people have suggested other love languages to him, but they invariably fall within one of the languages. Lastly, Chapman noted that he’s never said that people who respond best to the same languages will necessarily have stronger relationships. It’s all about showing love to your partner in the way that speaks most to them.

If your partner is speaking to you in a language you don't hear or care much about, you won't enjoy their affection. If the way you express yourself annoys the crap out of them, likewise for them. May not have a satisfied relationship if the languages match, but it can't hurt.
Ironically I think the original Facebook messaging did something similar, but they changed tech due to their inability to hire developers competent in the language.
This isn't LinkedIn.
Tangentially related, but I was at my local Home Depot, buying a grounding rod. It seemed like an amazing deal -- 5/8", 8 ft for $19.60. Weighing it, it's 6.6 lbs.

Scrap prices according to the web are $3 to $3.30 for that quality of copper. Which means I could potentially be making $2 / rod buying them and selling them to the scrap yard...

It makes me wonder if the Home Depot prices are just lagging the market. Maybe I should stock up.
From the ruling:

The parties to these cases have raised many difficult questions, including ones about the ethical status of extrauterine children, the application of the 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution to such children, and the public-policy implications of treating extrauterine children as human beings. But the Court today need not address these questions because, as explained below, the relevant statutory text is clear: the Wrongful Death of a Minor Act applies on its face to all unborn children, without limitation.

Under the defendants' test, even a full-term infant conceived through IVF and gestated to term would not qualify as a "child" or "person," because such a child would be "unborn" (having never been delivered from a biological womb).

Unborn children are "children" under the Act, without exception based on developmental stage, physical location, or any other ancillary characteristics. It is not the role of this Court to craft a new limitation based on our own view of what is or is not wise public policy.

As I have stated above this is a very narrow ruling. About born or unborn. And what’s more it doesn’t even rule in favor of the families. It upholds the dismissal of the case on other grounds.

You are all trying to apply this to cases that they explicitly side stepped! The ONLY questioned answered by the court is: Does this law apply to unborn children? Nothing more.

This isn’t totally true. They can dodge a lot of stuff, because optimisations target Google’s algorithms, not Kagis.
And Google also has conflicting intrests on same cases to let them just be.

But this brings new ”attack vector”, which is important to consider.
Wow, this is extremely cool! Thank you for sharing.
I remember being interested in Google+ but I got an access code through a friend of a friend on the other side of the continent, and by the time I started to see people I actually knew using it the moment had passed.
Reading closer, they point out, "It is nearly impossible to determine the composition of Titan's organic-rich surface by viewing it with a telescope through its organic-rich atmosphere," said Neish. "We need to land there and sample the surface to determine its composition."
i agree that its possible. From what i've seen its probably harder though than just doing services. You are fighting against human nature, organizational incentives, etc. As soon as the discipline of the developers, or vigilance of the dictator lapses, it degenerates.
I'm considering three possibilities here:

1) AMD, Intel, or ARM buy Groq.

2) They become like ARM and license the ISA to system integrators.

3) They license a GPU core to integrate to their chips.

What other outcomes are likely?
Gave a hopeful click, was disappointed.

I expected to see all chip revisions (the multiple agnus, denise, gary, buster...), with any known differences they have.

Instead, it's just a list of custom chips, not covering their versions.
As a former Groq engineer, the LPU branding is not really technically accurate. These are general purpose compute chips with excellent software for transformer models. In the sense that the GroqChip is general-purpose, it is basically a highly parallel, high performance, deterministic execution engine. It 'rivals' GPUs in the sense that obviously both are used for AI execution. The whitepapers cited are basically a perfect model for how the chips operate. As you can see, they are general purpose tensor units.

That being said, yes the software is impressive and the engineering team at Groq is top-notch.

Unfortunately, the chips are mainly aimed at inference, and it seems like a lot of the large investments at the moment are being driven by training.

EDIT: In the spirit of full disclosure, I suppose I should point out that I own lots of Groq shares, so have every interest in their success.
I think the DMA mandates that Apple not give Safari advantages over other browsers. Being able to run PWAs seems like it could be considered an advantage? Not sure though
Since no one knows what dark matter is, there's no known connection between it and real matter, so 1:5 seems coincidental if it's free to be anything within the range 0 .. infinity. But there's no reason to think there is or isn't any connection, since nobody knows what it is.

Cosmology error bars can be very big, depending on the measurement. 500% difference is certainly bigger than some, but since the vacuum energy density appears to differ by a factor of 10^60 from prediction, it's not necessarily a show stopper. Arguably the biggest discovery in cosmology in the last few decades is how much we do not understand at all.

I like the shows my wife watches but not always enough to want to dedicate my full attention to them. I'll often play the Switch while side-watching Downton Abbey type shows with her.

The Switch library has limited interest to me though so something like this provides more options.
I thought the point was to coincide with new Assange coverage. One has to be careful what megalomaniacal espionage State that cynically abuses judicial processes is being discussed.
Right or wrong, I think the notion of "the cloud" that Oxide is selling is the "elastic" part--the ability to request resources by quantity instead of having to think about the exact servers responsible for serving your request. So physical servers become an implementation detail rather than a developer concern. That's a concept that can apply to how you provision two on-site servers (or even one, really) as much as a whole multi-data-center cloud computing service.
It's used a lot in databases for query processing. Specifically, if you're performing a hash join, probing the hash table is more expensive than probing the Bloom filter. If you are pretty sure you're not going to find very many matches in the hash table (i.e. the join is very selective), you can skip going into the hash table by first checking the Bloom filter.
I suspect that there are too many differences for me to really list., but for starters MacOS supports multiple user accounts and has beeen built from its inception to allow people to install software from anywhere.
Along similar lines, I've been wondering (I am not a professional) about what would happen if charge wasn't always conserved. What would violating that symmetry do? If such a bias was in one direction, like the matter-antimatter near-symmetry appears to be, what would the universe look like if there was a small non-zero charge density everywhere that couldn't be fully cancelled out?

Alas, my understanding of physics is only enough to look like a kook, which almost entirely prevents serious answers from people capable of providing them.
Central banks are the government. And governments define the law we all operate in.

And as the crypto industry experiences today they can be vindictive, inconsistent, spurious, aggressive etc. And are highly skilled at resisting efforts to limit their power.

Ask HN: Are sign-on bonuses still a thing? If so, how do you ask for one?
I am trying to structure my salary negotiations for my next role at a medium to large tech company. It has been a while since I have been in this position - the last time being over ten years ago.

Do tech companies offer sign on bonuses / new hires get them?
Of course. If you have a viable business and the debt is related to that, that's exactly what the corporate veil is for. If you just want to hedge your bets on your personal GCP bill for hobby stuff, not so much.
It's not about controlling the source code (though that certainly helps), it's about controlling the device. If this was a native app on Linux or even Windows, you could attach a debugger and do the same kind of things whether or not you had the source code. An iOS app, not so much.
Relying solely on on-chip SRAM will never be economically viable for most use cases.
it'd be great if you'd manage to throw together quick blogpost about i4g io perf, there obviously something funny going on and I imagine you guys could figure it out much easier than anybody else, especially if you are already having some figures in the marketing.
vcpu performance is still locked to the typical core from 10 years ago

No. In some cases I think AWS actually buys special processors that are clocked higher than the ones you can buy.
I would love to see an example of this working.

I know that if it did work it would change the opportunity cost of forgiving debt in these cases dramatically

That striking absence has led to a theory that the mass extinctions cleared the evolutionary arena for birds

Just thought of something, which others may have considered, but I had not.

When taught this, and when reading about this, my takeaway was "lots of dinosaurs and other animals died, leaving free "tree of life" positions for mammals and birds to fill. EG, if a "fox like dinosaur" dies, something mammalian can move into that niche.

But what if the truth is, all the birds species survived, but as the dinosaurs died out, many of the now "missing' bird species were unable to live, for they subsisted in the realm of the dinosaur.

Think of specialized birds eating seeds out of sauropod manure. Birds eating ticks and other such creatures off of larger dinosaurs, birds cleaning their teeth, essentially birds hyper-specialized to live in the 'realm of the dinosaur'.

These birds would be secondary die-offs, not primary, and would open up niches for other birds.

Here's an example. 20 years ago, there were no woodpeckers on my rural property. Then the ash borer and other pests infested all the local trees. Soon after, within 2-4 years, woodpeckers started to arrive.

This is a well known phenomenon, the min/max cycle with prey/predator. The prey increase in numbers, so the predator follow. Then? The predators eat so much prey, that the prey population crashes, and so does the predator.

Anyhow my point is, the woodpeckers ran out of food. And I noticed them literally "pecking" at the ground, using their long beaks, to get grubs from my lawn. I believe they are not well suited to this, and that grub supply is too small, but are starving, and are using this, and their beak specialization as a way to get whatever food they can.

(Also note that they are competing with skunks, voles, and crows. Also also note that crows use HF vocalizations to detect grubs in the rain!)

Now imagine such backup strategies being employed post-asteroid. The primary method of food gone. Backup methods used. Slowly such specialists dying off.

Anyhow. Just rambling thought.

This is a fundamentally different problem for a fundamentally different audience.

If we take privacy issue, it can be divided into 3 segments:

* Privacy of user data. The basic level. When you use Google or Apple, they collect data. Even if you minimize all settings — data is still collected. This data is used to train models and models is used to sell ads, target you or do anything else you have no clue about (like reselling it to hundred of “partners”).

* Privacy against undesired identification. Next layer of privacy. When you want to have some personal life online without sharing much about you. Like Reddit, anonymous forums, or Telegram (to some degree).

* Privacy against governments. The ultimate boss of privacy. When you want to hide from all governments in the world your identity.

Signal was perfect at first layer strong but not perfect at 3rd layer (e2e encryption, no data collection to share nothing with governments who seek for data, good privacy settings, always tell you if your peer logged to new device to protect from cases when government operates with telecom companies and use sms password to make a new login), and almost non present at 2nd because they have no public features except group chats where you share your number.

Now they in one move close gaps at 2nd layer — you can hide phone number and stay fully anonymous, and strength their positions in 3rd layer, leaving the last piece open: government still will know that you have some Signal account.

As for me, this setup solves 99,999% cases for regular people in democratic and semi-democratic countries and address the most fundamental one: privacy of data and actions online.

Yes it is not perfect but barrier for government to spy on me is that high that I reasonably can believe that in most cases you should never be worried about being spied, especially if you live in some places which are named not as Iran or Russia.

The only scenario, in my perspective, you can want to have a login without phone (with all sacrifices to spam accounts, quality of peers and usual troll fiesta in such places) is when you want to do something you don’t want ever be found in your current country.

But in this case, IMO, Signal is the last worry you usually have on your mind and there are a lot of specialized services and protocols to address your need.

That is a great question. Well we first have to ask what would be the purpose of someone going through the trouble to create such (LLM generated) spammy SEO content? The answer (for the majority of web at least now) is to monetize it with ads/affiliate links. If that is the case then the answer is easy as we already penalize sites with ads/trackers on them for our general web search, and completely boot them out of our own index.

In parallel, we are developing LLM-content detector technology to be more efficient at detecting such content regardless of how it is monetised (and we will offer this as an API once developed).

I'm surprised something similar isn't already part of PowerToys. It seems to be a common complaint, with software cluttering it. Chrome browser even more so since they introduced a randomly scrolling menu so one can't even see all the options.
