yeah but the question is why are they choosing "no thanks"?

being pregnant and giving birth aren't easy, but we literally evolved specifically do be able to do that -- hence the big hips and other body dimorphism, etc.

it's a function of stress, economics, and loss of social cohesion via things like "the third place" and large family groups.

all of the people I know having kids live in small towns and have tons of relatives nearby, while the doctors and office slaves living in a tech-bro city on the other side of the country from their family struggle to have a cat.
I've recently created a couple of Lambdas using nodejs rather than my normal Python.

Despite node feeling more verbose, I've found that I understand node easier than Python. It's definitely strange to me, because there can't be that much difference between the 2, but parentheses seem to make it easier to follow structure?
Just the thing meetups needed, corporate ads.
Not at all. So, yes, depending upon the implementation there is a parent pointer tree which binds node hierarchy. This is not really how the DOM works though and not what's exposed via API. Typically the nodes are objects in memory and point to each other via static relational reference. These references are exposed to the API, like: parentNode, nextSibling, childNodes.

Under the hood deep in the binary might the parentNode make use of a parent pointer tree to map between the node instance in memory? Again, that depends upon the implementation and is entirely irrelevant to the executing JavaScript which is isolated from that layer.

The Computer History Museum has an interview with the i386 designers, where this arrangement was discussed. Carl Sechen's name is not mentioned.

https://archive.computerhistory.org/resources/text/Oral_Hist...

"...we finally made
the decision that we should go with automatic place and route. Neither one of those things existed at
Intel and the concern was could we get it done in time and would it blow up the areas of the chip so that
they wouldn’t fit and then it would all fall apart and we’d have to do it by hand. So what we did, we got an
automatic placement program from a grad student at Berkeley, it was called Timberwolf and we checked
it out and it seemed to do an adequate job so we had his software. He moved to MIT to work on another
project and we actually had a terminal set up in his campus room where he’d fix bugs in the auto
placement program as they came up. But luckily the whole thing came together and worked. There are
several points in time where we’d get stuck and have to be waiting for him to fix his program. So that
would take the individual cells and put them within a rectangle in an optimal situation for speed.

"...I was just going point out that if management had known that we were using a tool by some grad
student as the key part of the methodology, they would never have let us use it."

EDIT: I didn't realize that Right-o had an article on i386 place and route with standard cells that also links to the panel interview. The specific areas of the i386 die that used standard cells are identified.

I have the same kinds of problems with Microsoft Teams. In my case the audio is often garbled and unintelligible, lots of dropouts due to multiple people speaking at the same time, and even on a good day it sounds like everyone is meeting in the bottom of a garbage bin.

I've tried various conferencing pucks (EMEET Luna 360 and M0, Jabra 410 and 510, both hard-wired and Bluetooth) and none of them seem to work well with any of my systems (various late model Dell Latitude and Inspiron laptops, mini- and micro-towers) running Windows 7 / 10 / 11.

I've also tried various models of iPads and iPhones, and the audio is just as bad. Pretty sure it isn't a connection issue either (FiOS with constant 1Gb up and down).

Would an external DAC help? Headphones or earbuds with a good microphone? A dedicated portable system I can use for video conferencing?

There are paid services for bypassing captchas (usually for the purposes of scraping, etc).

I wish Mozilla or someone would securely integrate those into a browser. It’s only a few cents per captcha, and I’d happily pay a few dollars a month to never see a captcha again.

The browser producer could profit share. This seems way less sketchy to me than acquiring a user-tracking advertising company like Mozilla just did.
That's exactly what we do now.
HP played musical CEOs - 3 in less than a year - and one decided they shouldn't be in the phone or PC business. People loved the phones which were objectively years ahead of Android or iOS. It was not a product failure, but one of management.
Assuming you’re serious and not just trolling - what even is wokism, aside from a name thrown at people you disagree with? Bigotry is a known, studied phenomenon. Are you saying there is not a natural tendency to prefer one’s own kind and mistrust foreigners? Are you saying that groupthink respects no particular ideology?
Yes. The release of GPT-5 will make or break the AI movement. If the capabilities are not another quantum leap, it will become clear the scaling laws are not all. These investments will be unsustainable on the basis of any economic metrics you use.

HN killed it.
Ask HN: Anyone else hit by Instagram moderation?
Many people I know have been affected and I'm unsure if it's a global thing or just my circle.

I have had my account repeatedly suspended and restored without any explanations.

I have seen other accounts also experiencing this. Some people and some organisations and businesses.

I have seen multiple people share that their harmless comments and posts have been flagged automatically and the appeal system has been erratic and unpredictable. I know multiple people in Meta (some at higher levels) and they all say "we cannot do anything" and to trust their appeals systems.

It's really turning me and my friends off the platforms and we are probably going to look for alternatives.

My theory is that they are upping their moderation thresholds after surges in spams, and they have an acceptable number of false positives, as long as they are happy with a significant reduction of bad actors, and that we are the unfortunate casualties of such false positives.

Have you experienced similar issues?
I've tried these LLM "code from test" things (and vice-versa) dozens of times over the last couple of years... they're not even close to approaching being practical.
Right around the time GPT-4 was first announced, OpenAI published a paper that basically said that training can "just keep going" with no obvious end in sight. Recently, Meta tried to train a model 75x as long as is naively optimal, and it just kept getting better.

Better in this case means some combination of "less errors for the same size" and/or "bigger and smarter". Fundamentally, they're still the same thing, just more and better.

Unfortunately, the scaling is (roughly) logarithmic. So for every 10x increase in scale you get a +1 better model. Scaling up 1,000x gets you just a +3 improvement, and so on.
Edges are not... what you want in the park. Hence Armada and others making literally edgeless skiers for park rats.

Have to agree. It's fine to have past achievements in the bio I guess but if you are looking for money it doesn't hurt to appear focused.
The legal system is akin to an api with a codebase centuries long in many different languages. Good lawyers know which function calls are effective in this web of chaos.
Let's see if we can agree on a fundamental concept.

Imagine a child in grade 5 who gets straight A's, whereas his classmates do not. People will judge this child as smart. But put the child up against some PhD's in each respective field, and the child will no longer be considered smart (you would have to hide his age in the experiment perhaps); the child is only "smart" relative to his peers.

Hopefully you're with me so far. Here's the tricky part: the PhD's are (abstractly, but less so concretely) in the same situation as the child: they are only smart relative to their peers (~all other humans) - on an absolute scale (what is possible, as opposed to (what the person doing the thinking has knowledge of[1]) what exists, aka: "[the] reality"), they too are "dumb" (in a relative sense, in that (for example[1]) they cannot solve all solvable problems presented to them, without making errors).

[1] this, at both individual and societal/cultural levels, is fundamentally important to this class of problem space. There are many things that reliably (necessarily?[1]) trigger System 1 intuition/hallucination in humans, and at least three of them are in play here: the unknown, ideology, and culture (which dictates cognitive, conversational, logical, and many other norms; what "is" is downstream from culture (cultural / psychological conditioning...like training an LLM)).

I have recently started to recognize this pattern of idle development in some very well known software projects.

What happens is this.

At a certain time the team delivered a perfect version. So perfect that nothing is needed to be refactored or added to it. It's done. Then the team immediately gets bored. In order to protect job security, the team invents new work for themselves, a huge architecture refactoring, that sort of things. Sure, why not, we have time and resource, reduce technical debt, etc.

A couple years go by and now the product is a rotten swollen mess with tons of useless verbose documentation, tons of integrations, a mind-boggling number of features and, of course, AI. And the product cannot even perform its original task because that was abstracted away a long ago.

Not gonna point fingers, because I'm gonna immediately get downvoted to hell. But we all know examples of that taking place.
I started skiing before there were ever snowboarders, and let me tell you that slopes were just as scraped out then as now. Probably worse as groomers and snowmaking weren't as competent.
IMO Facebook has an even better solution: simply don't let people send you unsolicited private messages unless they're a friend or a friend of a friend. Lots of email spam gets through my spam filters, but I've never been spammed through Facebook Messenger before (except maybe once or twice when a friend got their account compromised).

Things get much harder when you want to view public posts by strangers, but I imagine some kind of similar reputation-based system could still work.
I think it's actually more problematic when you don't have passive people and you assign a manager who believes people are passive to them.

Then you end up with someone with less context making decisions that don't work for the implementers and causing both disengagement and silliness.
Sadly you first have to login locally in order to use it. Or has that changed yet?

Dollar is pegged to oil, while Eth is now proof of stake. Right now the people in the US are high on power and oil, and can't care for the environment, if the power is decentralized with crypto there may be a change of attitude toward too much consumption, but that is just an assumption.

P.S: Also the accel v. decel debate is long and philosophical and doesn't seem to have an end. I am more of a decel guy, I think tech should be used sparsely and on point, not for everything and anything.
Black text on a white background has been the most common on new computers since around the mid-80s.

In the Unix world it became common with the introduction of the X Window System.

In the personal computer world it also became common with the launch of Microsoft Windows 1.0 and Apple Macintosh.

Show HN: We built a social listening AI for X, LinkedIn, Reddit, HN
Hi Hacker News, Octolens is a social listening tool that helps early stage B2B software companies find social posts with buy signals.

I use Octolens to grow our business daily, this is how:

I track keywords related to our solved pain points, brand, and competitors. Octolens finds posts across sites like Reddit, X, LinkedIn, and more, then assesses them with AI for relevance and buying signals.

I receive alerts about highly relevant posts in Slack. I then engage with these posts to connect and convert potential customers.

As cold outbound becomes more challenging with AI automation and email spam restrictions, capitalizing on intent signals is more important than ever. Octolens helps with exactly that.

The best part of this journey is collaborating with Pepe Reyero, who joined as founding engineer.

We also have a free search tool on our website to play with as well as a directory of previous YC companies as some examples of mentions you can expect.

So, it looks like if you try and add a kernel for a virtualenv that doesn't have ipykernel installed you immediately install it in the virtualenv with `pip`

It would be great if you asked the user before doing this. My environments are usually managed by one of poetry or pipenv or nix, not pip. Which means now my lock files and installed stuff is out of sync.
I don't disagree with many of his points, but to call him over-dramatic would be an understatement. The article doesn't seem to make any attempt at justifying the hook besides "the internet is already over because all things will end". And it's presented as some sort of revelation, written in the most pretentious possible way, and ends with a statement of how different his writing is from "the internet". Some kind of boogeyman compilation of everything wrong with life in a digital world.
I had to resort to a third party syncing system, and quite happy with it. It's called Morgen. They have issues with their mobile apps for me but the desktop version is great.
is to send callbacks in five blocks in the Tron blockchain, not every block as in all other blockchains supported.

Doing it every block the callbacks can be received up to 30 times a minute. In this case, there is a probability that small PHP hostings can fail to manage requests, and it will influence an online store operation or stop the script timeout implementation.

You need to think about every language's rules and APIs when starting a project. You do raise valid concerns about C++ and those are real issues. Every language has real issues. Some have fewer up front and obvious choices, but they all have issues.

Choosing no to decide you still have made a choice.
> How can you bend you mind to the extend that I'm propagandized and that the Russians are the fascists here?

That's a great question to ask on a day when Russia conducted another major missile attack on Kyiv. Among apartment buildings and businesses and many other places that were damaged, a children's hospital for cancer was hit and about 70% destroyed as a result. The entire hospital lost water, power and oxygen supply. It was one of the best hospitals in Central and Eastern Europe for treating children with blood cancer. At the time of writing this, emergency services and local volunteers are searching for survivors among the rubble.

It takes a great deal of mental gymnastics to look daily at scenes like these and never ask yourself "Are we the baddies?"

"Propagandized" feels a far too weak word to describe such detachment from the observable reality.
requestAnimationFrame won't fire while you're tabbed out.
Great clip. Courses are considered more fair the firmer it is. The track will stay more consistent for more of the field of racers if it is firm.
Sharp skis are necessary for good control otherwise you're just sliding around. Snow and Ice aren't the only things you ski over as there is a ton of dirt and other debris mixed in. Sometimes you get rocks and pebbles near trail edges. Heck, spring skiing will put you on trails with thin snow cover in addition to patches of grass and dirt that will destroy your skis (fun fact: hitting grass at speed is NOT fun - instant stop.)

My father was also of the opinion that wax was a scam as he stated it would likely wear off in the first few runs. The idea was it filled in the scratches on the ski bottoms leaving a flatter surface. Maybe it works. maybe it doesn't. I always enjoyed watching the guys in the ski shops apply it by taking a slice of wax and then using a clothes iron, melt it like a pat of butter along the bottom.
Actually in most places, technically as president/CEO of a firm you are already liable for any criminal conduct by your firm/employees-on-the-job. The corporate lawyers should have clearly warned them about this already. Additionally, any criminal lawyer should have warned Boeing people it is often around a 10 year jail term for criminal negligence.

Unless the president/CEO can prove they enforced policy to mitigate the issues, than the board may still be in real trouble internationally.

Their best bet is to delay long enough that the general public loses interest in the case.

Have a great day, and remember free parachutes is not a real solution... =3
Thanks for the feedback!

So sorry that you're experiencing slowness. I haven't done any performance test on it as for the past few months its mostly been used by just friends and family.

I hope it is faster now.

Tbh, I'm not sure what else to build on top of it as when I built it, I just wanted a safe and private place to be able to curate newsletters without exposing my main email address and allow friends to view my subscriptions.

Society also would be better if you spend your free time sweeping the streets, but you don't have to - we don't require people to do things that are not required by law.

Using legal tax avoidance strategies is not tax evasion.

Also, requiring people (whether legally or morally) to use interpretation of law that's not the most favorable to them is a giant, bad slippery slope.

Most of my local libraries close fairly early these days, I think the latest any of them are open is 8:00 pm. Because of that, the 7-8 pm time slot is popular and rooms get filled up pretty fast.

I recently found out that there's a local group for the 2600 Hacker Quarterly magazine that meets at the same Barnes and Noble cafe that my book club meets at monthly. They're open until 9:00 pm, which (in the case of the book club) gives ample time to talk about the books we just read, vote on upcoming books, and catch up on events in the area. If everyone has something to contribute, we can easily fill 2 hours of time.
I've written a lot of Python and Javascript and still prefer Javascript (Typescript) over Python. I like how easy it is to do functional programming with Javascript. Python can have some weird syntax for functional programming, whereas Javascript has very obvious ways to do something such as an array map. To me Python feels more like PHP than Javascript.

Obviously you just rate-limit per client IP.

A rate limit strategy should limit the rate of the attacker not the victim.

Rate-limiting per email address is just a DoS vector, anyone can prevent a legitimate user from logging in.

Plugging my small project: https://github.com/sharph/nanometer

I wanted the same thing (to programmatically control a laser) so I took an existing library (oriented around drawing of frames) and hooked into it in a way that I could send an limitless stream of points to it.

Generally, the search term you want to search for is "ILDA". ILDA compatible lasers have a standard connector on the back to set the X/Y position of the laser as well as the intensity of the color components.
