HN will really hate on any kind of acquisition, regardless of if the acquirer is a "big bad" like Adobe or not.
"I can't do much else, may as well keep folks up to date" I guess.

If they're sitting on the shore with a fully stocked rescue boat delaying help to post their edits, aye I'd be peeved too. Otherwise, might as well keep info updated as it becomes known.

One of the beauties of the internet is that there's enough people willing to do the work to keep the rest of the world up to date with real-time information.

You need at least 100 developers to produce such an app. If there were only 5 or 10 devs, it would be much more performant and less bloated.

One of the products my company offers is an SDK and we are happy and proud to shave away 10s of kilobytes on it whenever possible, as large SDK sizes seem to lead to loss of opportunities with potential new customers. and then there is this. What I want to say is: Some companies DO care how big their apps are.
The only reason I don't use CS6 is because it doesn't work properly with hidpi displays. It doesn't scale well above 100%.
Because all the pro-crypto posts are being flagged and removed, so these are the only ones left. Often see them in my RSS feed before they're removed. In general I recommend subscribing to HN via RSS feed only. Unrelated to crypto, it's absolutely crazy what kind of other stuff gets flagged and removed and how politically biased it is in certain topics. Echo chamber is an understatement.

They have info that this phone number exists and nothing else. Ok, also that the user uses telegram. Not much. This info can be reasonably used for spam with lots of numbers, not 150/month

Also I already trust sms to the centralized greedy third party usually acting against my interests called mobile phone operator. Now this also includes some random person and it suddenly becomes "privacy nightmare"

And yet usage stats point the other way. The number of daily transactions, and the lightning network capacity are steadily increasing year after year.

https://bitcoinvisuals.com/ln-capacity

Edit: another very concrete metric showing Bitcoin adoption is the daily global transactions fees paid to miners (in USD). This isn't the block reward, it is just the real costs (fees) that users are willing to pay to transact on the blockchain. The fact they are increasing implies increasing adoption/utility of Bitcoin: https://ibb.co/PgBm0t8 (note the log scale!) I like this metric as it's a 100% market-based valuation of Bitcoin's utility that is independent of the value of 1 BTC.

A good approach for clearing long columns of pawns in echo chess is usually to try to take the very first bottom pawn and to 'climb' up the column by successively taking one pawn at a time. If you can find a way to start from a pawn that's located as low as possible on a given column's side, it'll likely help in clearing a whole swatch of the board without leaving any extra pawns 'orphaned' on their own. Let me know if that makes sense and if you'd like me to provide anohter hint!
What attitude is the appropriate one if everything will collapse?

There are long-tail risks to the stability of codebases, organisations, institutions, governments.. the soviet union collapsed.

It seems likely that some engineers can intuit such long-tail risks.

If linkedin is subject to a competitive threat which requires rapid innovation, the org will lose because it's development practices preclude it.
This "localization" also includes the code for online payment methods available in a particular locale.

So for the traveler, when they arrive in a new area that's supported by Uber, the app will just work instead of a "Please wait while we download the necessary payment SDK for your current location..." notification.

You didn't just download Uber "for USA" - you've downloaded Uber for "all countries where Uber exists" just in case you might leave your home area and travel a location that Uber operates.

In light of this, I can't help but feel the OSS alternatives to the Adobe graphics suite are pretty abysmal.

Inkscape is passable but aspects like filters are obtuse to use and that's largely because it's trying to be a good compliant SVG editor and not necessarily a good vector graphics editor.

GIMP's user experience in my opinion has been terrible for decades and every time I have given it a chance it's annoyed me into closing it. I can get things done, but it gets in my way.

As for Scribus I've never used it, but based on the previous two I'm not instilled with confidence.
> What are the main drivers of the crypto hate here on HN?

The massive quantities of shallow fraud and bankrupt integrity that is either at the core of or openly embraced by the industry does it for me. But I suspect the frequent, confident inaccuracies in respect of the financial system parroted by many crypto enthusiasts particularly grates this community.

I haven’t written it off yet. But it’s never going to be long for this world, outside the low-FICO subset of the three generations that have gone whole hog on it [1], if it continues as anything resembling its current form.

HN can be strangley luddite about new technology actually. It's the same with self driving cars - there's a large, vocal crowd on this website who are highly critical of it. And god forbid you put a touchscreen in their car...

I think crypto is failed experiment but there are plenty of new technologies that are way more interesting than the latest React competitor or UI framework that tend to get the most positive attention from the HN crowd. Shallow, risk-free innovation is where it's at.
So what was in those emails? Anybody know? Is the cancellation over the quality of the email, a principled stand against AI, or do people just don't like to receive spam?

A few years ago I moved to Germany, not speaking a word of the local language.

Imagine my joy when every google site helpfully switched to German, ignoring my browser's accept-language.

Thankfully some googler must have been also annoyed by this at some point, so there is a somewhat little-known URL: google.com/ncr (No Country Redirect) which will revert everything to US English. Doesn't help if you wanted to default to any different locale, but it was perfect for me. Thank you unknown annoyed googler.
The DMA is not (directly) about what users want; it's about markets having level playing fields, where all competitors have the same opportunities and thus have to win based on merit, rather than based on dominance in a different market.

Of course, the idea behind that is that that competition will then lead to things that users really want, without having to mandate what that is specifically through central planning.

Another question: why does the feed reload when I go 'back' to it? This happens on the website and the app whenever I click into a link and then go back to the feed. It just spontaneously reloads! If I wanted to comment on the link or even just like the post, I can't (unless I remember who posted it, go to their profile, and go to their recent activity, which I almost never have the patience to do).

I uninstalled the app recently because I find it maddening that I can't get notifications about comments on my own posts unless I also accept notifications for 'person X and person Y like such-and-such random post'.

I find it maddening and unjustifiable that these two types of behaviors would be categorized under the same notification toggle. Then I remember LI is now owned by MS, and it makes more sense.
Very good point, thanks!

The ever-popular Mr Lemire often uses this technique, I think it's way easier to follow than straight up assembly. See for instance [1], his post about prefix-recognition in strings (not randomly chosen, it was simply the first post with code that I found when I searched for "simd").

As someone that learned Lisp in the 1990's, starting with The Little LISPer, all the way to classics like The Art of the Metaobject Protocol, dusty digital copies of Xerox and Genera manuals, with a little XEmacs Elisp on the side, I am perfectly fine with Clojure's design decisions, and is also the only Lisp like language I still reach for.

The discussion about parenthesis is a bit ridiculous, but unfortunely their visual distribution does matter, and Clojure is more appealing to folks without Lisp/Scheme background.
I paid $lot for the entire Affinity suite and DxO Photolab instead of going with the (quite good) Adobe offerings just to avoid the insanity that is the Adobe Creative Cloud launcher. I deeply hate apps that install, auto-run and auto-update other apps. Affinity and DxO give you a DMG.

If your tool reads CSV by doing `string_split(',', line);`, your tool is doing it wrong. There's a bunch of nuance and shit, which can make CSVs interesting to work with, but storing a comma in a field is a pretty solved issue if the tool in question has more than 5 minutes thought put into it.

Illusionary thinking on crypto bros side leading to ignorance regarding the massiv energy and GPU consumption.

People saying things like Bitcoin is inflation save and ignore that Deflation is also a problem.

Or saying people should just use their own wallet but ignoring how many people lost access to their crypto due to this.

Or how it can't be censored but ignoring how countries make laws against it.

Just to tell us that they do crypto basically for the 3th world people who need a stable currency instead of just saying how it is: they like to get rich fast and actually don't care about anything.

Lucky enough Bitcoin is not hard but to complicated for the masses otherwise this virus would have eaten us by now (paperclip )

Can't speak for everyone naturally, but HN has a lot of skepticism on a lot of things from a lot of different angles.

Personally, my skepticism on crypto has not been based on technical merits but on practical ones. Basically, there is no technical solution to a legislative problem. It's hard to trust any crypto enthusiast who focuses on dethroning fiat when fiat (i.e. governments) can just... make crypto illegal or heavily impractical. There's no technical solution to that.

From the moment you have to go through rigorous KYC to onramp to crypto (as most will do these days), and EU slowly making "anonymous" crypto difficult/illegal, I feel it really loses merit as anything other than what BTC is mostly used for - an alternative asset class. That's not very interesting IMO, because then the only innovation of (the most popular) crypto is artificial, technologically enforced scarcity.

Of course, there are many flavours of enthusiast and skeptic, who each prefer or dislike crypto for different reasons, so my argument might not even apply for many.

Stability AI CEO resigns because of centralized AI
With the advent of generative AI the painting has been on the wall for some time. Using it in Photoshop is simply so good that it is a necessity by now. Affinity are not a large enough company to train an AI, and any AI will not be able to run locally for a long time. So it must take place in the cloud and therefore require a subscription.

I have all SQL exported to CSV and committed to git once a day (no, I don't think this is the same as WAL/replication).

Dumping to CSV is built into MySQL and Postgres (though MySQL has better support), is faster on export and much faster on import, doesn't fill up the file with all sorts of unneeded text, can be diffed (and triangulated by git) line by line, is human readable (eg. grepping the CSV file) and overall makes for a better solution than mysqldumping INSERTs.

In Docker, I can import millions of rows in ~3 minutes using CSV; far better than anything else I tried when I need to mock the whole DB.

I realize that the OP is more talking about using CSV as a interchange format or compressed storage, but still would love to hear from others if my love of CSV is misplaced :)

I do not know which is the real origin of the fashion to use the word tensor in the context of AI/ML.

Nevertheless, I have always interpreted it as a reference to the fact that the optimal method of multiplying matrices is to decompose the matrix multiplication into tensor products of vectors.

The other 2 alternative methods, i.e. decomposing the matrix multiplication into scalar products of vectors or into AXPY operations on pairs of vectors, have a much worse ratio between computation operations and transfer operations.

Unfortunately, most people learn in school the much less useful definition of the matrix multiplication based on scalar products of vectors, instead of its definition based on tensor products of vectors, which is the one needed in practice.

The 3 possible methods for multiplying matrices correspond to the 6 possible orders for the 3 indices of the 3 nested loops that compute a matrix product.

> It’s not when you can generate on demand from a fuel source that doubles as energy storage.

It is when your fuel tanks are finite in size.

Also we can't generate fuel yet at sufficient scale, and that's just as relevant regarding hydrogen as it is about batteries for electricity storage.

I'm optimistic about batteries, but that optimism is realistically that we'll get there over the coming decade, and in the meantime have to deal with naysayers who can't imagine a future different to the past.

With hydrogen, I'm pessimistic. Given that hydrogen electrolysis is so easy that I did this before I turned 10, you need to wonder why the USA (and all the other targets of the fuel embargo) failed to do this in any significant level even at the height of the 1970s fuel crisis back when nuclear power was still fashionable.

This isn't an unanswerable question, nor is intended to be anti-hydrogen rhetoric — if you can solve the problems that made it unviable back then, that's fantastic and we can use it now.

But we do actually have to solve those problems.
