Getting downvoted for an on-topic relevant comment is pretty disappointing. The fact of the matter is that there are still small internet providers around that care about the privacy of their customers. Furthermore, anyone who thinks they are enhancing their privacy by using one of the large public DNS servers needs to do a reality check: you pay for your use of "free" public DNS servers by sharing the information about every single website that you visit. All an advertiser has to do to de-anonymize your browsing history in that case is to put a single unique domain name in a web page and trigger the browser to do a lookup. Do folks think that AT&T is the only large company that has a really shitty privacy track record when it comes to DNS?

I also stand by the claim that local DNS servers are beneficial. Not all of us are 1ms away from the major DNS providers. Transport networks are complicated, and those of us that do not have millions of dollars to build our own fibre directly to a data center where peering is available have to pay a latency price for sub-optimal transport routes. It is a fact that having a local DNS server will save you multiple round trips in such cases when the deployment is architect to do so. I did that because it makes browsing a little bit snappier. Saving a few 20ms RTTs might mean nothing to people living in a large city with a local internet exchange, but it does help those of us in rural remote communities that are distant from that infrastructure.
How about this account for a "polymath" who manages to churn out a "book" almost every week on topics from AI to installing cabinets and a whole bunch of pseudo science woo woo:

Pick a metric, it really doesn't matter. The claim that western economic systems are presently lifting people out of poverty is absurd, and my point is that China is responsible for the decreases in global poverty that have taken place over the last decades. Both of these facts are relatively uncontested.
Recruiting tools built on top of naive ChatGPT is just a bad idea. Any tool that can have such a large impact on someone's life should be used competently and with all the nuance and care that can be brought to bear on the task.

I'm not talking at all about fine tuning, simply building a process with multiple prompts and multiple stages, taking advantage of the things that AI can do well, instead of trying to jam an entire resume down the AI's throat and hoping for the best.

My beef with both the Bloomberg article and the response to it is that they're analyzing a poorly thought out and inappropriate use of a technology in a way that is almost guaranteed to cause unintended problems - like measuring how long it takes people to dig holes with a shovel without a handle. It's not a sensible thing to do, and the Bloomberg journos aren't acting in good faith, anyway - they'll continue attacking AI and reaping clicks until they figure out some other way to leech off the AI boom.
Call the police? I don't need two problems.
Unless you're going to otherwise be paid for your time, it is inaccurate to count it as a cost.
By what metric?

Teacher Pay?

Class room size?

Hours of education?

We may WASTE more money on students than other countries but in these metrics were behind and our below average everything makes that apparent.
This is literally the point of the article. That's all posted inside the twitter walled garden. Great content, wrong platform.
I think it's an easy fix to include both!

For somebody who hasn't used Nix yet, but heard good things about it, why use Tvix instead of Nix? The page didn't seem to mention the reason(s) behind the project.
Find a mix of job and COL that allow you to save a little bit. This isn't rocket surgery here, friend. If your current rent eats all your income, move to a cheaper place and/or find a better job.

I was born in abject poverty. I went to public school and state colleges. I made money in TN, GA, AL, and TX before settling in northern CA. This area is my dream location and it took nearly 2 decades of planning and effort out of college to prepare to buy and settle here in a financially stable way.

San Fransisco isn't the only city available to US citizens. If you can't save in a high COL location, move to a lower COL location so you can save. Then, when you've saved enough, move back to a higher COL area.

This idea that you're stuck in some expensive geography and can't do anything about it is plain silly. I made most of my moves with less than $1,000 in the bank and plenty of credit card debt. After moving a dozen times across nearly half a dozen states, today I own a home in the Bay Area outright, have zero debt, and do what I like with my time and I'm not yet 50.

If I would have left college for the Bay Area immediately, none of that could have happened. It took planning and stages and moving all around the country (and living in the cheap South) but it was doable and is doable now for anyone that wants to make the effort. Yeah, boomers had it a lot easier, but so what. That's history. That was what they got for living in a high tax high investment era and we get what 20 years of Reagan and Clinton gave us, trickle down, so we deal with it.

"I want to live in SF or NYC out of college and own a home because boomers could do that" is bullshit. There's a substantial generation between you and boomers, my generation, X, that saw we weren't gonna have it as easy as the boomers and we didn't complain, we changed tactics and adapted to the environment. We figured out by going to state schools, busting our humps at a half a dozen different jobs including ones with serious physical labor that might even cost you a finger, being illing to live in less than ideal places for years or even decades, could let us settle into something better in middle age.

California costs about 2.5 months more salary to live in than the national average and about 4 months of salary more than truly affordable states. If you can increase your savings by 2.5-4 months of take home all for the price of a bus ticket and a few days of hotel stay to find a place to rent in a more appropriate COL location, you can save for a house, even a house in a high COL location, no problem. You probably cannot save for a high COL location house living in a top 3 COL state while trying to do so.
How do you volunteer at the local school? My wife and I are both passionate about and interested in improving children’s lives, but not super sure how best to do it outside of donations and big brother big sister-type programs.

As an aside, maybe it’s because I’m inexperienced, but I’m finding it surprisingly hard to get connected with a group to help people that isn’t a highly specific cause like religion, LGBTQ, children of certain races, etc.??? Is it just me? I am clearly very ignorant about all this
That's because Canada has safety nets for people. They have affordable healthcare and places to turn to if you're out of work and need assistance. It's because Canada is a compassionate society. It doesn't take this down right mean attitude of a "f-u" you're poor because it's your fault.
I would like to see a picture too, but it wouldn't surprise me. The highest I've actually paid is $44.58 per ticket in fees. But I've seen $50 fees and not purchased.

It’s now usable without JS once again. It was not long ago that repositories stopped being viewable without JS enabled, but they are now again.

I hadn’t tried interacting in Issues without JS enabled in years, but I just tried to out of curiosity and successfully replied to an issue that way.

I must admit to finding myself quietly impressed that any place would be capable of reversing itself on a decision like that.
I agree with this. I'm kind of appalled by the apparent lack of SELinux controls on a firewall that runs Linux under the hood.

If I can run SELinux in enforcing mode on a Gentoo Desktop, any Linux administrator worthy of their job title can with a more enterprise/user friendly Linux distro too.
You're misinterpreting. When sorted by annual income, the top 5 incomes all have the same value: 380,288. This points to something weird going on in the data, unless all of those specific participants happen to work the same job at the same company. Even then, years of experience and salary increases would likely differ.
I don't think that "gatekeeper" is the correct term for what you're describing. Isn't it closer to "influencer", or "taste-maker"?
Oh, this got even worse than I expected. Let me show you another graph, then. This is FRED's official price index, which is the source of the blue inflation line in that graphic. I've overlayed two red lines for its value in the eleven years from Aug 1972 to Aug 1983, plus two orange lines comparing its value now (Mar 2024) to Mar 2013, also eleven years. Notice how the gap between the red lines is a price rise of $58.2 on a 1982/84 $100 basket, while the gap between the red lines is a rise $79.948, which is significantly higher: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/graph/?graph_id=1327450

Now imagine how much worse this would get if we did these calculations with the yellow line data instead, which is essentially the same in the 70-80s but much worse today. (Or maybe also imagine how much worse the past ten years could be five years from now if we got a second inflationary spike like the 70s-80 did, making this a more apples to apples comparison!)
This is outdated. You can source with many modern public LLM products now.

I didn’t find these via HN search, I found them in my bookmarking account. I have a slightly strange way of bookmarking - I send emails to a dedicated email account, so these I found there looking for Nix in a search.
All browsers use SQLite3 DBs for this stuff. History is not "loaded into memory" -- it's in the SQLite3 DB, which has a page cache, so some of it might be in memory, but the amount of memory dedicated to the page cache is fixed, so you need not worry about it.

> I expect bookmarks to show up in search. Searching history is different, history has a ton of useless garbage in it.

There is truly no difference except that some URIs are bookmarked (and maybe also in recent history) and some are not. Either way searching these is just a SQL query against the SQLite3 DB. You really need not worry about the efficiency of the search -- it's fast enough. The table(s) that store these things have enough metadata to enable the kinds of searches you might want to do. Among such metadata is "this is a bookmark" and "this is not a bookmark".

> "Bookmark" means "When I type this, show this one URL before all the other ones that seem relevant".

That doesn't preclude treating it not that differently from history. You really need not worry about those details.

Also, a "bookmark" is more than that: it also has a name, it may be in a folder, it may be in the bookmark toolbar, it may have tags to help you search for it, etc.
Unofficially, sure. But officially, the FTC is in charge of protecting consumers from abuse. I'd love to see them step in and regulate this space.

When I say "cooking from scratch", I specifically mean the super fast and easy stuff. Starting from raw materials doesn't mean you do anything complicated to it.

For the burger example: buying pre-formed burger patties is still massively cheaper. Throwing a pre-formed burger patty from your fridge in a pan and putting it on a bun with a slice of cheese will take you ten minutes. Microwave small potatoes while you fry. You are done. There is no prep, you have made 1 easily washed pan and bowl for potatoes and your plate.

Is it the exact same thing taste-wise as your fast food meal? No, the potatoes aren't fried, sorry. Does it hit all the macro nutrients for far cheaper, and probably less time than even going to the fast food place? Yes.
Curator. But otherwise, they're right. Curation and informal trust networks are the only way out.
That bothers me too. But my fix doesn't have as many stars :)

I think witnessing someone being shot is a good metric because it is factual. Either you saw someone being shot or your didn't, no ambiguity there, and no matter where you live, someone being shot is someone being shot. Not like "uninvolved parents" and "bullying" which are open to interpretation.

This metric is also a proxy for living in a violent environment. It correlates with wealth, but it is also kind of the point. Children who lived in a wealthy environment are better off as adults in terms of income. It is not that obvious, as rich kids could simply burn through their family wealth.

So, how ready is this for general use? Is there anything still missing in the implementation?
I disagree. Would you rather dig up trees, rocks, and mountains, and grade it, or dig up existing rail?

You're going to lay down new rail either way, and that's what you'll have to certify as safe, so it's not really any different. I'm just saying there's less crap you have to dig up if your starting point is an already-cleared 300 mile stretch rather than 300 miles of raw nature.
How do you know they could have dragged him? If what he said was fair then they wouldn't have been able to land any punches.
By the way, is there some way to specify dependencies in C? Like requirements.txt in Python, where you put libraries names and versions and the user has to run a single command to install them (and without requiring root privileges)? Is this nix/tvix/guix an equivalent of pip?
regex is one of those things that people constantly bounce off of, for what seems to me purely aesthetic reasons, that's actually not that hard to understand. you just have to read every symbol individually.
Imagine you aren't allowed to drive on the weekend just so some politician can posture like this. Of course it's probably not a real threat, but the right to free movement is often taken for granted, bith by those who actually have it, and those that don't.
I'm not sure if any studies accurately measure the subject content, and it also seems like it'd be easy to get any result you want by tweaking the experiment parameters.

I can tell you that from my own life experience and what I can recall, it has certainly felt like a shift in content. All the anti-white stuff, the social justice stuff, the pro-censorship stuff, etc. It existed before in tiny bubbles like Tumblr, but it was during the mid 2010s that the major news sources started adopting those viewpoints too.
It looks like they’ve factored out the main features of Nix into modules to allow for more flexibility regarding the implementation details of each underlying service.
> Or that a lot of the funds for the research came from industry or the military.

I think that's interesting and newsworthy. Maybe because we know it already it seems obvious, but a younger generation might not understand how deeply enmeshed the military-industrial complex was (and to some extent still is) in academia.
Right-wing radio is heavily subsidized by right-wing institutions funded by the billionaires we all know about. It is happy to repeat lies, without shame, at length until they are believed. No non-subsidized radio station can compete, so all AM talk radio is openly right-wing, and is all there is on the dial in most rural settings.

Great minds think alike. See FreedomBox[1] for a totally FOSS implementation of that idea; one of my friends runs all of his internet services at home with it: email, file storage, contacts synchronisation etc.

This take only works if you tunnel-vision yourself to only looking at the United States. It's all too easy to say "we believe X and you believe Y; who's to say which is right!? From our point of view, you're the one in the bubble!" But if you step back and look at the American political spectrum from a global and historical perspective, it's abundantly clear that it's the conservative side that is in a bubble; nearly even a cult. The rest of us would love to have two rational political parties to pick from. Few people are ideologically beholden to the Democratic Party directly, it's just literally our only option.
> Also: the reason DEI initiatives ignore “diversity of political views” is because that is not a trait you are born with.

Is that true? You're born from your parents[0]. I don't think it's actually much of an important distinction that you would have different socialization if you were adopted. Younger LGBTQ/NB people don't agree with this nearly as much as they used to, for instance. Several of those groups are just things you decide to do.

None of what you have said is even close to any resemblance of any sort of truth. I hope you will dig past the partisan reporting to educate yourself further on this particular political cover up.
Consumers care about the final ticket price. So if TM charges less fees the artist can just charge more face value until they reach the same equilibrium. Anyone that thinks consumers will be paying less is deluded.
New York Times is surprisingly good about this.

Most of their reporting does have a left bias, and of course opinion even more so.

But they do have some serious, thoughtful conservatives in their opinion pages. Like David French and Ross Douthat. And they have reported on controversial issues like the dangers of medically transitioning minors. David Leonhardt points out the places where conservative arguments have facts on their side, like how closing schools during Covid for so long greatly damaged learning outcomes and was a bad decision overall.

It eliminates blind spots that come from only considering views confirming an ideology and thus getting important stories wrong.
Yes, in recent decades the US has barely had the sort of poverty that China has been eliminating, so it hasn't really made any progress against it.

I think it would add a lot of clarity to your comparison to name the metrics you are using.
Just to be clear, when it comes to radio audience, the audience is 100% local stations. NPR does not own any radio spectrum. The structure is that local stations have complete editorial control of their programming so long as it adheres to the principles of the NPR mission and in exchange they get access to the network of content produced by NPR and local affiliates. Bigger affiliates like the ones in Boston produce a lot of local content or even sell back to the national network, while smaller ones are mostly running NPR content. They are also all running their own budgets and revenue operations.
Yeah, I jused K-Jofol for a while, I seem to recall it used a smidge less cpu, and it had wild themes with shaped windows. I recall using this litestep theme, with a matching k-jofol skin [1]. Current track title would show up in the bar near the center about 10% up off the bottom. That was fun.

I also remember using mpg321 on a 486, because integer based decoding was just faster enough that I could play almost all my mp3s on that.

The role of law enforcement is rarely about direct intervention to stop criminal behavior (or in your example, violent bullying). They investigate and, potentially, punish criminal behavior that has happened in the past. They act as a deterrent to crime, but also to vigilante justice.

Conflict resolution provides the potential victim with agency to intervene in a situation on their own behalf. Of course, this doesn't preclude the option of calling the police. Why not expand someone's options for keeping safe?

Funny that they were worried about Schwarzenegger speaking German with a strong accent, given that he speaks English with such a strong accent, and they allowed that to be in the movies.

Have you read this thread that is currently pinned to the top of the page [0]?

I'm a one-time conservative who moved to the center after Trump. I live in a deep red state but work remotely with an extremely left-wing company (the kind that regularly has deep discussions of identity politics during work hours). I like to think I have a pretty good idea of what each extreme looks like and every shade in between, and HN has by far the most balanced political discussions I've ever seen in any forum in-person or online.

Part of my evidence in favor of that claim is that people on each extreme both perceive HN to be biased in the opposite direction.

I tried with a few LLMs, and they seem to agree (sometimes) around 10^15 lumens. A light wouldn't work, but it seems that a nuclear explosion close to Little Boy's would do it.

PS: The best way to get an answer on the internet is to provide a wrong answer.
As others have mentioned this site heavily implies causality with statements like "we can clearly see that the experiences of their childhood had a huge effect" and "college or technical school can mitigate some of the effects of adverse childhood experiences". It is simply not possible to draw such conclusions from a longitudinal study. Interventions and actual experiments are necessary.

The site is really nicely done and even moving, but I find the ideas it is putting forth harmful honestly. We all would like to see better outcomes for teenagers, but if that is truly our goal we should not be shaping public policy around non-scientific observations on correlations. Let's do some actual science please and build policy around that.
