various propaganda shops push their own definitions; which often include subtleties like "mal-information". True things that are used to nudge opinions as the speaker wishes, as opposed to how the propaganda shop would rather you think of the subject.

I think a decent general definition, for real people, might be "disinformation something someone else did not want you to know." It might be true or not, but they were counting on you following some different narrative.

everything is propaganda, to some degree: no one went to the effort of telling you $X without they thunk they was gonna benefit from you hearing it. You have to take that into account with everything. "Advertising" is a more acceptable name, perhaps; but the bare facts of it haven't changed since someone was attempting to talk someone else into supplying the livestock for a BBQ party "for the greater glory of $gods"

> What did I post in this thread [...] that is "off-topic meta drama"?

For example, this:

"Why was this very thread silently disappeared from the front page? It is about downtime. Let me guess, the flame war thing got trigged again. Seems discussing DEI at all will trigger it by definition as the pro-DEI cohort -doesn't even have to be the mods- will ensure this. Some subjects are just sacred cows here."

Or this from yesterday:

"This thread had 50 points and was top 10 on the front page and going up. It has been silently removed from the front page. Poof. You all good with that? I think it time to get what's left of the press involved about the goings on here. =)"

A fiber cable was cut so we had no internet for the morning, probably not leap year related.
My experience of stack overflow is that the question in the title is too often not answered directly. The specific issue is tangentially related to the title and the answer can amount to a typo or a bad assumption.

There are often clues in the comments that are more helpful than the “answer” and often outdated answers have the most votes.

All this to ask, how on earth is something like an LLM expected to reconcile those issues.
To get a decent daily cross the city charger installed in my garage, I have to spend some $3,000 just on electrical work because I have to upgrade service. Currently unsubsidized because my government doesn’t believe climate change is real. This is before the average $700 to install the charger.

Vehicle prices have skyrocketed, and while my family makes well in to 6 figures, cars are just not a thing we want to spent lots of money on. Dropping 80k on a vehicle is WAY past what we’d ever consider.

Critical infrastructure is non-existent for highway trips (again, government doesn’t believe in climate change).

For me it’s simply not practical. There’s too many annoying barriers.
The post argues against major refactors. The incremental suggestions it gives progressively make the code easier to work with. What you suggest works until it doesn't -- something suddenly breaks when you make a change and there's so much disorganized stuff that you can't pinpoint the cause for much longer than necessary. The OP is basically arguing for decluttering in order to be able to do changes easier, while still maintaining cohesion and avoiding a major rewrite.
You can't lose what you never had.

Say customers only fall back to a human for 10% of more difficult questions.Then one support agent can field as many customer service questions as 10 employees could before. 90% layoffs is great depression numbers. Maybe only one sector, but the sectors it does impact will be hit hard.
Do you mean pickup trucks driven as personal vehicles, or semi trucks that make deliveries?
Good to know that you don't track specific posters about $ISSUE.

As I wrote, it doesn't have to be nefarious.

As I also wrote at the top of the thread, seems discussing DEI at all will trigger it by definition as the pro-DEI cohort -doesn't even have to be the mods- will ensure this.

I have no interest in flame wars. This subject is brigadiered to the max. As a direct result I get a lot of personal attacks which you yourself dinged people for, and I avoid those interactions as much as possible. I'm not the only one experiencing this - it significantly hurts the quality of discussion. Whether intentionally or not you are simply letting that crowd very rudely shout down anybody who disagrees with them.

If anything DEI is in and of itself "low quality" or generally frowned upon please add it to the site guidelines.
A bit of an odd paper. It could have been titled "Are smarter and taller 18 year olds more successful when they turn 50?".

> CEOs have higher cognitive and non-cognitive ability scores and are taller than typical members of the population.

The authors don't seem to consider wealth as a critical factor here.

Here's my hypothesis. CEOs usually come from higher income families. These families were provided with better education and sustenance over generations, thus these CEOs benefit from these advantages.
To your second point: I grew up in the American suburbs and had that. Probably not to the degree you did. I've noticed in the suburbs today that there are such few kids and it's just really quiet all the time. It's really sad to walk around the neighborhood or be outside and you don't hear kids playing.

People also seem to have fewer kids if they have them. That implies fewer cousin interactions like I had and also all those things you mentioned never happen. It's unbelievably sad.

Welcome to the revolution where huge oversubscribing is the norm. Everyone sells 100Mbit, 300Mbit, 1GE internet or even more.. Poeple often start to talk about 10GE CPEs.. bigger faster.. its partially consumers fault but meh. I would many times would prefer rock solid 10Mbit connection that crappy 100Mbit connection.

But, luicky I live in big city with multiple ISPs offering. I have 2 ISPs at flat atm, one is ETTH (primary) and second is Cable for backup. ETTH is good, nice peerings, low RTT and very small <1ms jitter. Cable, well.. its cable. They expanded they peerings so RTT dropped, but jitter is noticeable. Its all right, its backup connection after all.
When you do your IPO, make sure to file it as "positive-definite" so your stock price keeps going up!
Sounds about as practical as an electric supercharger. I would love to be wrong; I guess time will tell.
This is a comprehensive analysis: https://www.ucl.ac.uk/bartlett/public-purpose/publications/2...

The general case is more or less the same as the UK with only the details varying. As noted elsewhere, this doesn't apply to non sovereign states.
In America about 2/3 of your neighbors would not put in that sort of recycling effort. About 1/3 of your neighbors believe there are no benefits, only downsides to recycling. Maybe 5% just throw pizza boxes and dirty diapers into the recycling stream ruining the paper materials in that truck load. Maybe 2% of them just drop trash on the ground wherever they stand as long as it's not their own home. For the remaining altruists to recycle, they need to live in an area that collects recycling, doesn't quietly dump it in a landfill or ship it to China.
lots of articles talking about "index investing/passive investing market impacts" should get you what you are looking for.
Interesting that it's been banned for use in peer review. If there's an onslaught of papers because of LLM productivity increase, I can well imagine some peer reviewers using it under the radar, or the rules becoming more flexible.

Peronism is a strange beast and I don't defend it, but it was outlawed from the 1950s-1970s and it seems like peronist is just what every political group wanting legitimacy has called itself in Argentina whether liberal or conservative.

Typically it doesn't make sense to blame a freshly elected leader for features of the economy, but most leaders don't jump headlong into hardcore economic shock therapy right away either.

If it's static it doesn't (shouldn't) matter. I had over a million hits on my $3/mo VPS and it handled the load perfectly fine.
I enjoy watching recent Seattle arrivals attempt to pronounce Mukilteo, Sequim, and Sekiu.

I grew up in Long Island, New York, and there used to be a radio commercial for a local insurance company that bagged on national competitors for not being able to pronounce Ronkonkoma. Other local place names that were difficult for some to pronounce, mostly indigenous language derived, were Quogue, Patchogue, Cutchogue, Yaphank, Massapequa, Secatogue. If you can rattle those off in 1 or 2 seconds, and still throw in a four letter epithet, you can pass as a local. F'n Quogue.
Uh, the business terminal is $2500, not $500 (and the standard terminal is $600 too). I don't live in a warzone, I live in northern New England. The "$3k for $500" thing is from the beta period over 3 years ago, costs on even the basic one have long since dropped a lot. Not including a router at all would also save a big pile of hardware. And it's not presence of SFP or separate ethernet or not that has anything to do with most of the BOM either.

Literally nothing you wrote had anything to do with my comment, just generic LLM type shlock. Try to do better.
>Adblock settings are typically found under: Services -> Adblock Network -> Adblock

That's incorrect. There is no "Adblock Network" navigation.

> There should be a tab or section labeled "Whitelist". You might see two separate sections: Whitelist (Domains) ... Whitelist (URLs)

The tab is "Edit Whitelist". There is no URL filter. These are instructions for a browser plugin. This can be seen again when it suggests clearing the browser cache. (There is no "Query Log" section either.)

> Save and Apply: Save your changes and find the "Restart" or "Apply" button to restart the Adblock service.

Changes to filter lists don't require a restart. The service will automatically refresh sources at periodic intervals. You can also manually refresh.

As usual, the AI is confidently incorrect and will likely do more harm than good if anyone tries to do anything serious with it.
Amusingly, neither Zendaya nor Javier Bardem are Middle-Eastern, but they can easily play so because skin color works that way. I think the fact that it could just as well be a post-El-Niño Chihuahuan desert makes sense too.
Don’t anthropomorphize computers—they hate it.
Neuromancer is way easier to translate to the screen. It’s not far from Bladerunner.

The problem with Foundation is that it’s more of a historical account about empires rather than about individual characters which is made much worse when the screenwriters decided to add space magic to the mix
Not true at all. Hearsay at best.
I think this mpre could be a graphic driver problem. Test update to the latest from your pc manufacturer or your graphic card manufacturer (they could differ).
It certainly looks like that from far away, but get close enough to a real permit application, and you'll see that there are so many edge cases, and every situation is so unique, that the exception always defines the rule.

I'm willing to wager that a govt. employee processing, let's say renovation permits, sees no more five applications in their entire service history that are textbook as in can be approved without any required corrections.

Extend that to any other application, and you'll quickly see the value of an experienced government employee helping you navigate the bureaucracy. If you haven't yet, then you are likely very young and/or your parents have taken care of everything for you to date. And before you blame the civil servant for the byzantine rulebooks, I want to rush to remind you that those civil servants only interpret the laws/rules. They have as much hand in creating them as you or I.
In KDE's case the "you can just customize it" works both ways though. They could change the defaults and instead and let old users customize it back to the old way it was, rather than every new user customizing it. It comes across as a pretty weak argument.

The reality is that most users are simply bitterly opposed to change, especially in "subjective" parts of the system like UI design, and it has nothing to do with whether or not the change is actually an improvement that helps people, or can be undone with in 1 minute through a KWin tweak, or whatever. The very example you're theorizing about (accomodating new users who don't yet exist through UI improvements) actually has happened before with positive and negative examples e.g. Blender's complete UI overhaul in 2.8 which was widely praised, versus Gimp which continues to receive flack for its UI choices, versus Gnome which people just endlessly argue over both ways. It is not as simple as "New UI bad, old UI good" no matter how common of a mindset (and how over-represented) that is here.

Developers of the project have to balance these concerns as they see fit, and that is their right. Being an older user of the project (or any user, actually) does not mean every decision and plan in the project is going to revolve around you exclusively, at the end of the day.

I want wayland, but my current understanding is that it will have to wait until I don't have computers with nvidia cards anymore. Until then still running the same i3wm config since 2014.
Aswath Damodaran looks at valuations with a very one-dimensional lens because he is not an innovator, engineer, or even a business person. Ever since Amazon was in its early days, he has said that Amazon was overvalued and he has always been wrong because Amazon has always found new verticals to build and create more value with.
Show HN: Refeed – Open Source RSS Reader
Hey HN! I've been working on an Open Source RSS Reader called Refeed. RSS Readers have been around for quite a while now, but honestly, they haven't changed much in the last 10 years. With Refeed I hope to change that and iterate on what makes RSS readers so great. I've been working on Refeed for the last year with the intention of making it the best RSS reader out there, I don't think I'm quite there yet but I think Refeed is at a point where some people might like it more than what's already out there. Over the next 6-12 months I intend to get Refeed to the point of being the best RSS reader out there and after that, I have a ton of ideas on ways I can iterate on the modern RSS Reader. Would be great if you guys could try it and give feedback on it!
I like to think we'd snap out of it eventually (like in WALL-E)
The mcdonalds order waiting thing malfunctioned, displayed de52hg04 instead of 088 and I had to wait a lot longer for my order since it flew under the radar for a while until I spoke to them :)
Another way would be to use one register for "zero" vs. "non-zero", and another for negative (basically 2 bit sign-magnitude representation).

C_sgn = A_sgn ^ B_sgn
C_mag = A_mag & B_mag

The result can then be converted into bitmasks for positive and negative:

C_plus = C_mag & ~C_sgn
C_minus = C_mag & C_sgn

This solution should be more efficient if there is an "AND NOT" instruction, or when multiplying more than two factors.
which rules and which other entirely different system are you referring to? or, which system do you think i am judging by the rules used to construct chinese?

i'm making a lot of effort here to express myself clearly and to understand your ideas, but i feel like you aren't really meeting me halfway
I wonder how much of that dictatorial nature comes from more and more of the developers getting hired by Red Hat, who basically decides everything related to systemd/gnome/freedesktop these days...
That would be very nice! Would it be easy enough to add support for ChatGPT too?
Yeah I'm not trusting the completely faulty metric of "parental instincts". Given that more intelligent people breed less, the avg parent isn't as smart as the avg person. And we know how smart the average person is.

Your article is a perfect example of misjudging risk. Roughly 100 kids die in pedestrian accidents per year. Even if those SUVs are doubling the chance of an accident, those SUVs are only a portion of all vehicles on the road, say 10%. 100 kids goes up to 110. It's just noise when you account for all mortalities.

Media has been fueling fear bullshit for decades.
On the one hand I imagine that Russian and Arabic viewers would find inclusions from their languages very distracting, but then the story is so clearly about Americans and Russians squabbling over colonized Arabic territory, and all of them getting screwed over by ‘larger forces’, that I don’t think changing the language makes a real difference.
> Customer support team of 10 is replaced with chatbot and 2 people.

My experience, having grown up when all customer service reps were people, is exactly what I stated above: this is just giving up on customer service.

Anyone who has ever called automated support knows this. When you reduce 10 people to 2 people and some chatbots now you simply have to wait 5x as long for customer support.

I worked at startup a few years back that refused to scale customer support so they could be forced to "automate" the process. The result? Customers got completely screwed over, but those customers weren't investors so who cares.

I can't recall a single time in my life were automated customer support solved my problem, it just kept me busy so that the 5x wait doesn't seem as long since I'm trying to navigate the labyrinth of a customer support decision tree to get my problem solved.
I switch to wayland to play steam games because there is less screen tearing than with X11. Otherwise, I'm still on xorg because I find little annoyances in the alternatives to my X11 window manager of choice (dwm) and other little things that don't work well, like the Zoom desktop app being kind of wonky in sway.

Hey, host here. Thanks for sharing this.
I started the podcast because I was looking for some real-world Rust stories and couldn't find much; so I started 'Rust in Production'.
It is closely modeled after the 'On the Metal' podcast by Oxide Computer (https://oxide.computer/podcasts/on-the-metal).

Should anyone have thoughts on potential guests or know someone who would be an incredible guest, I'd love to hear about it.
EV utility is less than ICE cars, but far worse than commuter rail. Most of the pollution in the bay area is from car tires. So if they really want to clean that up, they need to switch to light rail and inter city express rail
Tech stocks are responsible for most of the gains in stock market in past year. Nvidia is alone responsible for 28%...

If that just doesn't seem unsustainable I don't think what is... AI is not pulling up traditional firms just a very small number of tech stocks.

So with how much is concentrated on a few tech stocks, downturn in tech could lead to significant correction.
How exactly did the EU define "USB-C" because there are all sorts of ways it could have been defined that leave wiggle-room for future advancements (even now, I believe the USB-C port on an iPhone may actually be a Thunderbolt port ...)
As the series goes, though, we do see Molly again. We don't see Case again. I never thought about that until now.
There is something very wrong with the current dynamic of the world. Work is deeply devalued while capital has been reaping all the benefits of the increased productivity: if you doubt me, ask anyone who has made any kind of investment if they are making more money from the investment or from their regular job.

This is creating a ridiculous wealth disparity and deincentivizing a whole generation to get good with a skillset. I already heard from a lot of young people that working is not worth it, hard to disagree with them when even a basic thing like a piece of land or a house looks out of reach for a regular person.

But as you put it unsustainable things are not sustainable, society will regress until the equilibrium is found again. But things didn't need to be like this.
The leaf elements are often coupled by a protocol, even if it's as simple as "call this API to return a result". Domain language is derived from seeing that a certain conventional protocol is used over and over.

So to me, protocol is the focus of modularity, because it lets you talk within the domain. However, protocol isn't addressed by generalizing it: that just means you have added a container for the meaningful part of the content.

Something that comes up when working in a point-free style, as in Forth or APL, is that protocol is shoved in your face immediately because the sequence of arguments now matters, and that has downsides(stack underflow errors?) but also upsides (conciseness, ease of factoring). When I reach for that, it tends to mean that I intend to find a tighter specification for the domain.
That's generally risky to do nowadays because of things like TLS certificate expiration.
> Nobody is checking or seeing what you put in there

The trash men check our bins in Seattle (although not very thoroughly). We can be fined for throwing compostable material in the trash (has never happened to me) and your recycling can be rejected for throwing away non-recyclables (has happened to me when someone dumped their trash in my recycling bin.)
> you can grant our AWS account permissions to read an S3 bucket in your account.

That seems like a huge privacy hole. It sounds like you're offering spreadsheet-as-a-service, where you scale up AWS spot instances based on query size.
Too bad, because that's what they're called, in conlang circles and everywhere else: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fictional_language
Depends on your audience. One of the things that stuck in my mind from my sculpture degree was a tutor's contention that plenty of (visual) artists produce "things that look like art" but aren't worthy of the name. Subjective, yes, but I knew exactly what she meant. The current generation of AI by definition only produces entirely derivative works. All artists are influenced to some extent by their visual history, whether they like it or not, but there are leaps that some of them make which I don't think anything which works solely on previously-generated work could make, and those tend to be the most interesting. (Although I'd agree that artists who really lean into derivation, like Andy Warhol or Hans Haacke, are also interesting).
While he's more than likely morally and ethically bankrupt and manipulating the situation, he's technically not wrong with placing some blame on the public. I think last I saw, 40% of people still didn't believe climate change was impacting them. A good chunk don't believe in climate change at all. The average Joe/Jane is still buying gas-guzzling vehicles.
