Ask HN: What's the name of this web proposal/standard?
A while ago I came across a web standard/proposal (I think on here) that basically was for reverse linking (e.g. website A writes an article, website B writes an article that is a reply to website A's, website A is able to list all other websites' article replies).

I really can't give any details other than I think it used the Link header and it kind of felt similar to WebSub but it's not WebSub, I'm pretty sure the specific example of article replies was used on the proposal as well; I also think it's likening to "reverse linking" was mentioned, or something about how currently hyperlinks allowed linking in one direction, from source to external source, and this proposal enabled linking in the other direction. Creating a more connected web, something like that.

I think it was a relatively recent standard. Not older than 10 years.

I am also pretty sure it was called "Web" something, but that might be my fault memory conflating with WebSub.

Any ideas?

Hyperscript is totally optional, you can use vanilla js or something like alpinejs for extra stuff
Thanks! I'm proud of my moderation browser extension with keyboard shortcuts! https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que... - which is written in Arc by the way: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20179860. On a good day, that's the kind of stuff I get to work on.

But there are vastly more important factors. One is that there are other moderators. They just don't post publicly.

By far the most important is HN's community. We have so many dedicated users who care about the quality of this place, and they send a steady stream of heads-ups about things we need to look at*. That's the reason for your "god mod" impression—it would be impossible for one person, or even a team, to see all these things, but what I'm actually looking at are things that other people have seen and are bringing to our/my attention, whether by flagging them or by emailing hn@ycombinator.com. So it's a "given enough eyeballs" thing.

We can always use more such help, so if you (or anyone) notice something that we should probably be looking at, please flag it and/or email hn@ycombinator.com. We usually can look at it pretty quickly—though it may take me longer to reply and my worst-case latency is shameful.

* For example, I've got 3 or 4 emails at present asking about why "I Will Fucking Piledrive You If You Mention AI Again" (https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=mataroa.blog) has been posted 14 times and keeps getting flagged. Yeah, that's probably something we should look at.
Narragansett Hydraulic Rower. The oars use pressurized gas to provide resistance.
Given the execrable state of the Windows UI, I'd be excited to have modern Windows compatibility with a competent GUI on it. I'd be psyched if it looked like XP running with the "classic" UI.

I switched to "classic" mode so automatically on every install that I'd forgotten the Fisher-Price default one... which was still better than the current shitshow.
> HN tends to be - as we might expect - quite good at computers and bad/average [0] at everything else.

Who's we? I don't expect that at all. "computers" is such a broad subject, with countless areas of specialty, and in my experience HN commenters are often, all too often, quite ignorant of my particular areas of specialty, though that doesn't stop them from overconfidentally asserting falsehoods about those subjects.
I think suicide prevention programs are well intentioned, but a lot of them do seem to be just lip service of well-intentioned people who don’t really know what they’re doing, or alternatively, are trying there best, but are the ambulance at the bottom of a cliff.

Why do people get suicidal in the first place?
Is it issues of domestic abuse/family abuse, or trauma? Is it issues of poverty, low income, job insecurity?
Is it issues of mood disorders? And if it is mood disorders, are there other social issues (like some of the ones I mentioned above) that precede the mood disorder?

Because really, to prevent suicide, you’d have to address the root cause of what drives people to commit suicide. I think there are a lot of social issues that lead people to commit suicide and to prevent suicide, people would actually have to start addressing the issues, instead of addressing the symptoms of the issue.
It is a strange thing. We are not anywhere near “super intelligence” yet the priority is safety.

If the Wright brothers had focused on safety, I am not sure they would have flown very far.
Great analysis, but you're missing two key factors IMO:

1. People who honestly think AGI is here aren't thinking about their careers in the typical sense at all. It's sorta ethical/"ideological", but it's mostly just practical.

2. People who honestly think AGI is here are fucking terrified right now, and were already treating Ilya as a spiritual center after Altman's coup (quite possibly an unearned title, but oh well, that's history for ya). A rallying cry like this -- so clearly aimed at the big picture instead of marketing they don't even need CSS -- will be seen as a do-or-die moment by many, I think. There's only so much of "general industry continues to go in direction experts recommend against; corporate consolidation continues!" headlines an ethical engineer can take before snapping and trying to take on Goliath, odds be damned
This. Furthermore, this posture has percolated down to home computing environments (because it is all Windows or Linux) so even my home computer has to receive constant updates as if it’s controlling a Luna lander.
> Most Vietnamese born after 1980 who consume foreign content prefer Korean, Chinese, and Japanese content over Western (based on my wife and her extended family's experience)

Agreed, I've noticed this as well from when I was living here before. The difference today is that I'm noticing more english youtube content being consumed. I wish we could see youtube stats on this.

My partner is 1983... grew up in D3... near perfect english... only likes western content. A bit of an oddball in that regard, which sets them apart mentally from the rest.
AIUI it with superalignment, it merely means "the AI does what the humans instructing it want it to do". It's a different kind of safety than the built in censoring that most LLMs have.
> It would make sense not to do any of that, "drive to the beach, fly somewhere for a holiday, take a boat to scuba dive, take a bus to the snow", if it involves burning fossil fuels.

It does involve burning fossil fuels, and so does exercise because it increases your calorie requirement and food involves burning fossil fuels, so that too? Owning and using computers, phones, and internet does too, so none of that for recreational purposes either?

> Agriculture on the other hand can't be simply abandoned.

Why not?

> Powering equipment from non-emitting energy sources is needed.

It's not just powering equipment, it's petroleum used to create chemicals to grow and plastics and other products to process and create machines (tires, oils, plastic and rubber parts, petroleum based chemicals). And even if you were to "solve" carbon emissions completely, there are still many non-renewable resources being depleted and many pollutants being released, from microplastics to fertilizers and herbicides to toxic chemicals from chip manufacturing.

Define "make sense". I'm genuinely curious how you've arrived here so confidently. If it was climate change being the singular issue and nothing else matters short of actively murdering people, then any and all carbon producing economic activity should be shut down. But you're not going that far, so it seems "productive" economic activity is okay, but recreation is not. So we have to be cogs in the machine, but we can't have fun.

Not sure many would agree with you, or that even you would be able to stick to your own plan.

Am I "telling a story" when I am walking down the street taking pictures of people because I think they are working for the government and spying on me?

The doctors "objectively" thought I was on drugs.

And those tele-health centers are being shutdown because they do no legitimate screening and are pill farms.

So I feel you are confusing mental health and mental illness and confusing compassion with a profit making operation.
You said it. The fact that they are just looking at the brain when it comes to mental illness, is, well, insane.

If one becomes "depressed" when sick, why not investigate the immune dysregulation in depression?

The only way out of a mental illness is personalized medicine but that is something no one care enough to provide.
That's one; I've used that several others over the years, including gb4e and Covington packages. But yes, expex is probably the best now.

Not quite relevant, but we actually composed our grammars in a variant of DocBook XML, then converted them automagically to XeLaTeX for typesetting. Andy Black has a similar toolset that starts with his own document-oriented XML and converts this to XeLaTeX. I stole (with his permission) the code to convert XML interlinear into a LaTeX interlinear format.
Software development is a trade, not a STEM discipline.
Most introductory courses in a college curriculum are meant to be grand filters. The "Introduction to Computer Science" course is supposed to filter out students who don't have the grit or mental acuity to further their study of computer science. If a student fails at that course, it's a strong hint for the student to consider a different major. That's actually the beauty of college: it's possible to cram four years' worth of courses into a tighter timeline, but if you don't you leave enough room to explore the introductory courses of different fields and declare major on one that is truly interesting to you.
These are all problems that shouldn’t exist. You have succinctly described the problems with modern IT. Software doesn’t need to have an expiration date. It doesn’t decay or expire. But because of our endless need to change things, rather than just fix bugs, we end up with this precarious tower of cards.

If, as an industry, we focussed on correctness and reliability over features, a lot of these problems would disappear.
For me, it’s often a case of semantics. Like, if I watch a YouTube car repair video, and the presenter is diagnosing an issue and says something like “ok, so we can see here the battery is draining far too quickly so I better check the alternator first,” in my experience, it’s rarely the alternator and often either a bad battery or a short somewhere. My first check is either of those two things. I might eventually arrive at the alternator but it’s all just semantics and interpretation at a certain level. I don’t feel like they’re breathtakingly _wrong_, they just probably have had a different experience than me, leading them to a different conclusion.

Caveat: I often work on old cars where a short is far more likely.
Yes, but false reporting isn't coming from just one side is it, it's something all sides can participate in. The way the education system is right now along with societal expectations, people are going to be misinformed rather than admitting to be uninformed.

Interesting contributions! Based on his roles in government I expected his famous last name to imply relation to the later presidents, but Vannevar does not appear to be related to them.
Interesting to hear more about Insight and the market conditions that impacted them. I’ve a friend who did the program and it worked out well for them - but they were fresh out of an Ivy League PhD so presumably had strong backing however they chose to direct their non-academic career.
Always thought it was a good model to focus on academics since the candidate Pool would likely be better by default.
Your post mirrors my experience, though, as someone with a non-cs engineering background doing a coding intensive course. The bar is relatively low and only about half my cohort found “success” in software engineering directly.
It’s fickle
Very interesting to know this is a real phenomenon.

On some occasions, a word someone said sticks, and when I keep thinking about that word, it starts to sound strange, weird and a silly made up stupid sounding word. I noticed that it happens with any word that I pick, not just the words that get stuck.

I use to think to myself that it's interesting that a word becomes stupid the more you think about it. Now I know this situation has a name. Thanks.
If Windows is the only OS that has the software you need and that's why you use it, I get that. But I wonder,

If you are a competent Linux user as you claim, then wouldn't you prefer if whatever software you wanted worked on Linux?

If the answer is yes, then why do you have a positive attitude towards Windows when it's a ball-and-chain that you only use because you have to?
WebMentions!! Thank you

I don't think filtering candidates would cause negative press. In fact the comparison to traditional colleges is stark: colleges like to brag about how "selective" their admission process is. A coding boot camp doesn't need to be that rigorous, but at least they can demand things like a bachelors degree in any field, a few years of work experience in any field, etc. So the target audience becomes more like already reasonably successful workers who want to switch fields.
I'm not sure this is the case. Source code availability for current and historic versions is what has made Linux so popular for studying OS design. Linux, the BSDs, the Mach kernel and many other embedded and academic OSes more interesting than Windows. Incidentally, even in the 80s and 90s you could get access to Unix OS source code. So in short people study what they are allowed to study.
Just do whatever you want no one patrols for this. Someone would have to call it in then a cop would have to show and do something about it in a timely manner. Fat chance IMO. I see either hobbyist or real estate photography drones overhead my property all the time, no way any of that has a permit. How would I even report the tresspass? They are gone in a few minutes. Cops aren’t showing up that fast without a body.
The scenario where we create an agent that tries and succeeds at outsmarting us in the game of “escape your jail” is the least likely attack vector imo. People like thinking about it in a sort of Silence of the Lambs setup, but reality will probably be far more mundane.

Far more likely is something dumb but dangerous, analogous to the Flash Crash or filter bubbles, emergent properties of relying too much on complex systems, but still powerful enough to break society.
Glad we moved the discussion into the Overton window of firmware.

Maybe it's too early to start shipping metaphors in wetware, but developing general heuristics for productive+reproducible+survivable self-fuzzing? (*)

"n X's" might still be a useful template to keep in mind, yes?

I do not care about your vibe. I care about finding the truth and telling it like it is from my lived experience.

They diagnosed the patients to get them in the study and they they said "see, it matched out "objective" diagnosis based on the patients "subjective" complaints.

There is nothing quantitative about what they are doing. Take a look at figure 5. How quantitative is that?
I don’t think we should be stopping things from being developed, we just need to acknowledge that externalities exist.
Uh, yes... Not only have the Chinese literally reciprocated to the US (and Japan), Chinese foreign development have always been about protecting their edge and merely generating a new market to sell in.

I just wish you guys wouldn't be so aggressively confident when you already know that you dont know.
what that actually reveals, and explains one of the authors questions, why most things at all still work despite this, is that the particularities of statements don't matter much.

If there's something useful in the made up quote that is why it's going to be proliferated, whether XY said it doesn't matter, there's not really any practical harm in that false attribution. This is also why crowdsourced predictions are remarkable accurate (and in fact often outperform experts, see Superforecasting by Tetlock and Gardner), despite most members of the crowd being wrong. As long as the wrong people aren't correlated in some way the average is a really good approximation.

Most stuff being noise and only some stuff being signal is just how the world works in general, it's not even really an insight.
Is above your property in a controlled airspace?

You'd probably get a license to fly drones to test the drones. Wouldn't you expect a test driver to have a driver's license?
I don't have a positive attitude toward Windows. I would prefer if the software I use worked on Linux.
There are multiple uses for metrics
You are describing Gell-Mann amnesia
Back when I studied highway engineering they called it spiral-circle-spiral, and the vertical curves were more parabolic. The methods for laying them out were very low tech aimed at drafters and on site contractors rather than mathematicians. I can't remember the layout methods though.
It also may be less about the size of the house and more about the time accrued with said laundry.

Maybe the math of it will end up on something like https://efficiencyiseverything.com/
May Allah bless your efforts. However, as Teleforce mentioned, I'm a bit unclear about what you're trying to achieve here. What is your focus? A halal directory is a good start, but attracting people to a forum or chat space can be challenging unless you invest significant resources. I'm working on something similar (though not a super app) called Al-Kun. Good luck with your project! Let's connect if you think it would be beneficial :)
There is also a tool that I use called AutoRemesher. It is old, but works rather well for generating high quality quad meshes.

For those smaller ceiling-mounted pod rail things in the Sous Terrain mockups, I'm surprised they're not extending them overground (and that they've dropped them from newer infographics).

Tiny elevated rails seems like it avoids a lot of the problems of both surface-level and flying delivery robots. I'm imagining that they either terminate inside businesses or form up in some kind of stacker that resembles those delivery lockers when full.

(Of course, I know the real reason: It's because humans on mopeds are cheaper, but they're not more efficient.)
I could never remember all that and I would always have to refer to documentation to know how to write out the full commands.

On the other hand, I can download an ISO for almost any popular Linux distro and easily install it without reading a single word of documentation, even if I've never used that distro before.
Interesting point to bring up accreditation. It’s not relevant for software engineering far as I know but for Professional Engineering licensure an individual must attend an accredited school.
When an email drops, do some squats; when you start to stray, pushups all the way.
I appreciate your detailed response.

If you go on vacation, is there a backup? And if you retire, or God forbid, get incapacitated from some unforeseen event, is there a continuity plan? I assume contingencies exist
> If one wanted manageability and isolation, then they could run k8s and Kata Containers which uses virtualization instead of containerd.

There is a world that exists outside your own use cases (and gke). EKS provides isolation by default, just as one example I can pull from my own career. you can even get warnings out of the box if any process gets access to the host, and the typical convention is to lock these hosts down entirely. No need to access the machine at all and everything is isolated within it.

Generally the type of infra advice AWS provides is fairly sound depending on what you want to pay, but I assure you what you just said is not true everywhere.
I've traveled all over Asia and lived in many countries for extended periods. It's also been my experience that the Vietnamese are the most welcoming and genuinely interested in talking to foreigners.
You are talking like there are medical treatments that work for those of us with mental illness. There are not. They only have medication to treat the symptoms.

I am one of the people with this deadly disease and frankly I want to die right now because I am homeless living with schizoaffective disorder and it its the 15 year anniversary of my nephews suicide and all anyone here does is downvote me because they cannot take the time to listen.

DO you know how many years I have heard of sht like this and then I go to the doctor and I am getting the same medications my mother got when she was sick 60 years ago?

Do me a favor, read my blog, look at what I know and what I have and am living with, then come back here and tell me I should be happy about this study that will do nothing for me and nothing for anyone in the next 20 years. Then tell me how not giving me that money to help me other people living with mental illness who are homeless to find housing is not better.

One example is all I need although I know there would be more to find if I had the time.

One is enough because the fact is, this just simply shouldn’t be possible. Not only does Meta allow it though, it produces a system that incentivises it.
