> Any medium where you invite commentary from strangers on the internet is going to be full of ignorant commentary. [...] I do not think this is a problem with the tool.

You think the design of this medium inherently attracts death threats (which the author mentions, and I assume you've generalised into 'ignorant comments') - but it's not a problem with the medium?

To me it sounds like a medium that's giving undue weight to the voices of the deranged; well adjusted people do not threaten one another with murder.

It's odd that one person would make a claim, then link to data that shows it not to be true.

Even odder, I've seen this done repeatedly with the same claim. Is it intentional? Some kind of collective mental blindspot?
This is steaming my brain a bit. Is it not the case (assuming an "optimal" tilt of the track) that the inner leg would travel more radii each step, meaning you would travel a larger segment of the circle on every inner step than outer step, ending up with an equal gait? This is my intuition without any formulated proof.

Is it "cancel culture"? Article reads like author simply can't handle what anyone who is even remotely relevant has to deal with on a daily basis. It's just reality of being known by more than a dozen people in one chatroom on internet.

There's a reason why most popular people in the world don't run blogposts or personal emails out in the open. They basically have to hire other people to do it for them via company level hierarchies.

The problem is there will always be a certain type of social outcast that will do anything for attention even if that requires doing illegal things to be noticed.

The only way to avoid these things is to be irrelevant, I never received a death threat in my entire life, but I also don't have anything like a blogpost website either.

This has always been the case in life, you also don't say things in public that you'd get beaten over, do you? Whether that's wrong is not my problem though, legal system as it is does not really care and can't prevent these things, the matter of fact is that whether you get beaten is your choice and legal system will only punish in hindsight. On internet, all of that is amplified, but at least noone can beat you up until you go outside.

You should be mindful of what you can or cannot handle before you say anything, if you fear any adversity and god forbid are some sort of pacifist who wouldn't defend their own life to death if necessary, it's probably best to say nothing and go unnoticed by anyone, that's just how things always were and always will be on this animal planet.

Which ones do you know? I have only heard it referred to in this context, that there is the scientific method: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_method
Yes, they are. The kernel for obvious reasons. Second, the IPC server now has to handle (and possibly pass through data) from the untrusted environment, unless you are happy with a sudo that does not even ferry stdio. Frankly, having properly working suid (the kernel does most of the job) sounds MUCH easier than having this type of APIs exposed to arbitrary users from pid1. In fact, as per Lennart's last sudo tty bug, the issue was with how sudo was exec()ing the target binary in the _target_ context (not the original context). Having sudo as a global daemon instead of a suid exec is not going to protect you against those; actually may make them worse for all I know.

This is a weirdly common type of article; given that the long-prophesied US recession remains stubbornly absent by any normal metrics, people just make up new ones to claim that there is a recession.

> Many quirky (and weirdly accurate) economic indicators help forecast the economy. For example, if an AFC team wins the Superbowl, the stock market will decline the following year. While there doesn’t seem to be a direct explainable connection, this has an accuracy rate of 73%.

Yes, it has always reminded me of the old "Apple just sells all those shiny devices because they're good at marketing" trope.

As if marketing alone could do that. Poettering does seem to be, to a casual observer, kind of a dick. Arrogant, dismissive of competing products... kind of like that other guy — also kind of a dick — who supposedly had that "reality distortion field" that hoodwinked all those poor saps into buying his phones.

There's no fucking way in hell you are able do that if the user base doesn't think the product is good. To those saying it, I always reply, "It may not be the product you want, but a shitload of people disagree with you, quite obviously."

I'm not personally a huge fan of the iPhone or systemd. But they are both clearly "the best" for the largest number of people. (And that is even clearer for systemd, as it doesn't cost hundreds or thousands of dollars more then the competing products.)

Well, in many authoritarians and totalitarian police states, state security organs have practiced extreme sleep deprivation as a way of breaking people, and sometimes killing them too. (Also something practiced by more than a few democracies in their uglier moments and aspects).

One particular anecdote that I've read described in detail was how during the worst days of the Stalinist Soviet state, the NKVD (predecessor to the KGB but much more brutal and lethal) in its obsession to get signed confessions from arrested prisoners, would put them on what was commonly called the "conveyer belt"

Solzhenitsyn described it graphically in his book as a process by which a prisoner would be interrogated in turns by an unbroken chain of well-rested NKVD interrogators whose added-together job was to never once let that victim sleep.

This was described as killing many of these people within a month or less even though they were fed and given water (sometimes even by force with tubes down their throats, since the point was breaking them, not killing them directly through starvation or thirst). In some cases there were of course also severe beatings and other tortures that could have easily been partial causes of death, but I remember the author describing cases where victims' hearts would finally stop as they descended into slow madness even if they weren't beaten at all over the course of those sleepless weeks.

Extreme sleep deprivation can kill, i'm sure of it.

Ask HN: Brainstorming for a collaborative Interior Design Platform
Hello HN! I introduce an app idea focused on collaborative interior design, and I'm seeking feedback and validation from this knowledgeable community.

The idea behind the app is to create a platform where users can share their interior design inspirations, seek advice from a community of designers and enthusiasts, and simplify the interior design process for everyone involved. Here's a brief overview of the app's features:

1. Upload Spaces: Users can upload images of their rooms, apartments, or spaces they want to furnish or redesign.

2. Annotate and Share: Users can annotate specific furniture and decor items in their images and share them with the community. They can also provide links to the items and where they can be found and purchased.

3. Community Engagement: The app fosters community engagement by allowing users to follow each other, connect their social media accounts, and participate in discussions about design ideas and trends.

4. Custom Trending Algorithm: The app implements a custom trending algorithm that tracks user interactions with designs and highlights trending and popular content.

5. Monetization Strategies: Monetization strategies include offering premium features, sponsored content opportunities, and partnerships with furniture brands.

I believe this app has potential, making it more collaborative, accessible, and enjoyable for everyone involved into interior design. However, I'm eager to hear your thoughts, feedback, and suggestions for improvement.

That would depend upon what you count as a prediction. The Oracles of Delphi operated for hundreds of years, the Sibylline Oracles were relied upon for thousands of years, and both were universally regarded in their day as unnerving accurate. Dismissing their longevity as religious superstition I would argue is itself anti-science. It is the arrogance of dismissing such history that leads people to eventually declare themselves to be 'the science'.
Person running would need to constantly turn a bit to one side to not climb further up the wall. So it shouldn't be much different from running in circles on flat surface.

Not sure if runners that train by running in small circles are concerned about evenness and try to run the same amount clockwise and counter clockwise to even things out.
The reason is because it's a hassle to remember all these tools/frameworks.
Google Gemini and Meta AI are also not available in the EU.

The only "proprietary" (as in you can't run them locally) models that are available in the EU are the models from OpenAI and Mistral.

So only 2/5 major (did I miss anyone) 'AI companies' make their services available in the EU.
That's not an exploit, that's just a sequence of basic misunderstandings about how things work on Linux. Which would be fine, nobody knows everything, if they weren't coated with grand claims and not-so-veiled personal abuse.

There are more people struggling these days than the mainstream news reports. The lines at the food banks where I live are much longer than they were before COVID. One of the local food banks says they're distributing three times as many meals per month as they served before the pandemic. And this is an area of relatively high employment.

People working service jobs simply can't afford the basics, and that's a problem. Part of capitalism's implied promise is that if you work full time, you should be able to feed and house yourself. But for huge numbers of people, that doesn't seem to be true anymore.
They discriminate employment based on what school you go to, or at least they did circa 2013
What's interesting here is that many of 'us' and the current mainstream say that Internet toxicity is due to The Algorithm, the methods of Facebook/twitter that maximise engagement leading to constant negativity and toxicity.

Mastodon's big selling point during the big move away from Twitter/X was the absence of The Algorithm, it was supposed to be a friendly, geeky thing, free from monetised outrage. But I've seen it for myself, there's an undercurrent of Twitter's holier-than-thou outrage, it's just from different sources: part exclusionary crusty geeks who've always used Mastodon ('you use Windows???'), part exclusionary leftists ('you're with the Judean People's Front????').

Perhaps it's not always The Algorithm that's to blame.
I fail to see how that example is supposed to be a good thing for humanity. Everybody watching/listening to what _they_ want to watch/hear is already polarising the masses like never before
I meant, some messages will decode fine as UTF-8, but in some other messages there may be letters which don't fit in 7 bits. So some simple testing, especially with English words, will show it to work fine. But as soon as a non-7-bit characters creeps, it will stop working fine.
> I don't want to focus on his math mental skills but his overall education was better. He can also beat people in language/words associations.

Well, _different_, possibly. Neither word associations nor mental arithmetic are the be-all-and-end-all; mental arithmetic in particular has been more a party trick than anything else since the advent of the pocket calculator.

You really have to believe in facts in total sensory isolation for a fact-checker service to be of use to you. Conveying messages has no scientific microscope or atom analogy.

Facts are sacks, it is what puffs them up and surrounds them that gives them their veracity which causes so much ire. You can't capture or deflate veracity so easily, but many think they can get around this by certifying lone facts to a minimum level of approved "veracity" thus amplifying the veracity of any claims made with them. Wink-wink. It's more crucial to be rid of centrally-informed favoritism than hot takes.
- "Sensor-Free Soil Moisture Sensing Using LoRa Signals (2022)" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38768947 https://dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/3534608 :

> [...] However, existing commercial soil moisture sensors are either expensive or inaccurate, limiting their real-world deployment. In this paper, we utilize wide-area LoRa signals to sense soil moisture without a need of dedicated soil moisture sensors. Different from traditional usage of LoRa in smart agriculture which is only for sensor data transmission, we leverage LoRa signal itself as a powerful sensing tool. The key insight is that the dielectric permittivity of soil which is closely related to soil moisture can be obtained from phase readings of LoRa signals. Therefore, antennas of a LoRa node can be placed in the soil to capture signal phase readings for soil moisture measurements. Though promising, it is non-trivial to extract accurate phase information due to unsynchronization of LoRa transmitter and receiver. In this work, we propose to include a low-cost switch to equip the LoRa node with two antennas to address the issue. We develop a delicate chirp ratio approach to cancel out the phase offset caused by transceiver unsynchronization to extract accurate phase information
