Notably, unlike Reddit, HN isn’t a business that needs to be profitable, to my knowledge. It’s a recruiting tool for a major Silicon Valley VC firm. Brainrot isn’t going to attract as much of the talent or stimulate the ideas they’d want to fund, so HN has been good at resisting brainrot. This is my own analysis, I don’t have a source for it.

The internet has always had nice discussion forums that were labors of love of generous people. In the case of HN, the generous person running the forum is actually a company managing billions of dollars. In the absence of a better funding model for the internet, maybe that’s the solution: altruistic billionaires finance more discussion forums that don’t exist to be profitable, at least not directly.

The exponential growth required of publicly traded social media companies drives different motives in moderating and promoting the discussions.

In a way that goes back to the skeuomorphism debate around buttons whether they should be drawn flat or 3D effect, where even Office 97 was trying to get rid of buttons looking like buttons and the affordance that they can be pressed, and whether that makes sense on a non-physical thing.

True, but it’s a numbers game. If there are 5 electric cars on the market, 2 are Teslas and the others are Nissan Leaf comparables then Tesla will get a lot of sales.

If there are 80 different models on the market and Tesla makes 5 models… that’s a tiny percentage of the choice that consumers have to pick from.
OTOH windows OSes autosuicide themselves.

On my works laptop I had initially kept the corporate windows install on the original drive and installed Fedora on a second non drive.

I would fire up the windows machine once every other week for a few hours so it gets its updates. But every single time I would enter the firmware settings or boot Fedora the OS bootlocker would lock itself and force me to go to https://aka.ms/recoverykey to get a recovery key the next time I booted windows. Until one day it started not booting even after giving the correct key. Bitlocker basically bricked itself.

So don't tell me that windows is more usable. And this is even without tackling the non functionning parts of windows when it accepts to boot, like the broken keyboard for anyone not using english language that Microsoft never even tried to fix in more than 30 years. People used to laugh about a sliding date for linux to be "read for thr desktop" but windows has never been ready either.

Your comment about Git LFS is intriguing. I have been put off from using git lfs because of the perception I needed a separate server to backup the binary files. I had heard of tools like lfs-folderstore (1). That no longer seems maintained and seems to be an extra service. Did git lfs integrate the lfs-folderstore ideas so it doesn't need them?

> Regardless, I'm not convinced we can defend against this with the way we're currently thinking about operating system design.

Amen!

On that note: Why is it so so difficult to set up a (rootless) container/sandbox correctly? (I mean, look at what runc does – shit's incredibly complex!) And why is it next to impossible to nest containers without privileges and arcane knowledge of how some of the underlying kernel syscalls work? Even those 250 lines of code to landlock `make` that the author mentions sound awful to me.

I don't want to have to set up a sandbox for every single application by hand, let alone set up rules for all things that a malicious application could possibly exploit. Instead, I want security-by-default! Have every application run in a tight sandbox by default and let the application specify what permissions it needs, so that I only need to review those and can grant them as I like. Meanwhile, deny access to everything else!

Clearly, we are not (Linux is not) ready for this yet – we lack both a good UI for all of this permission handling and an agreed-upon contract that all application developers can follow.

In fact, for the vast majority of applications we don't even really know (have documented) what permissions / access to kernel syscalls they would need, so it'd be incredibly hard to switch to a principle of least privilege-based approach over night.

But man, one can always dream…

> while Vista was perhaps too extravagant in its UI

Vista was a fine OS. The aero glass stuff was a little on the side of bad taste, but the UI usability wasn't bad, there was little difference in UI between Vista (the hated OS) and 7 aside from visuals, the layout of UI elements was mostly the same. And in terms of look, I can't say it was worse than the fisher price styling of Windows XP. Windows 2000 is where Microsoft aesthetics peaked and it's been downhill ever since.

The main reason Vista was hated was because it was very resource hungry compared to XP and most computers could barely handle it. 7's improvements on that side of things were rather minor, and most of the reason why people loved 7 is because they ran it with hardware that was modern enough so the experience didn't feel as slow as running Vista on 1gb of ram and an intel igpu (back then, intel igpu were unreasonably terrible. If you can do moderate gaming on low settings on modern igpus, back in the day, the intel igpu couldn't even run the UI of Vista, no AeroGlass/GPU compositing for you).

Most of the truly needed architectural change in Windows for the sake of reliability and security happened with Vista, though! Vista is when the graphic stack moved back to the user space and Windows became the OS that handled GPU driver crashes best. I remember when I had an ATi GPU with terrible drivers how good it felt to not reboot the computer or lose unsaved work as Windows could restart the driver on the fly and it wouldn't cause any issue except for 3d rendering software (so games would still crash in such a situation).
Vista also virtualized some of the filesystem calls so that programs used to having full permissions to write in folders they had no business to write to could run in userspace without admin rights.

All the changes Vista did piled up in terms of overhead, making it a heavier OS, but it was all for good reasons. Some of the overhead could have been avoided if Windows had been designed the right way to begin with (like not letting people get used to running software with admin accounts) but Vista did what it could to make Windows a better OS. People who hated Vista just didn't understand how needed those improvements, which we take for granted today, were. I still remember those worms circulating on the internet instantly pwning computers just for /being on the internet/ during Windows XP's era. Installing XP from unpatched mediums like an old CD and then connecting to the internet to get updates was very risky without being behind a NAT or firewall.

I really feel grateful towards the work the Windows team did during the Vista era, that windows can be considered a decent OS at all is all coming from the legacy of the groundwork they did on its foundations.
It's pretty clear why it's not profitable now, they've ballooned the company to a huge size and not got any clear revenue or user growth improvements in line with the company size.

What I'm more surprised is that it wasn't profitable in the yishan/ellen pao era. They had reddit premium unlike the founders first run at the site, and they were still run by a handful of people in Conde Nast's back closet.
I suspect these newer headsets have struggled because of walled gardens and crazy pricing, and thus lack of developer interest.

The Oculus DK2 was just a second monitor, amazingly simple and fun to develop for. One of the most developer friendly devices I worked with.

Oculus CV1 proprietary driver, forced experience, worsening SDK and dropping linux basically killed the device (and VR) for me, even before fb got their grubby mits on it.

So I struggle to understand these premium devices, when there seems to be no developer incentive to build for these platforms. Shame, I think VR still has some great potential, but I will never don a headset that needs an account or shows me even a single advert.
VR will probably never be more than a gimmick imo.

AR is where the market is at. Regular glasses, with current phone capabilities, like painting the actual road you’re going to travel green would already get hundreds of thousands of adopters.

This wouldn't work for me; my area code is from Los Angeles, but I haven't lived there for fifteen years.

I have lost my airpods, back in 2020 (it was the start of covid and I was taking off a mask in Thailand and flipped them out of my ears). I noticed they were missing twenty minutes later, used find my to get back to where I dropped them, had them make noise and found one of them.
I recently wanted a table with a vertical scroll bar. Nothing fancy. If the table reaches some maximum size, a scrollbar should pop up, and only the data should scroll, the header should stay on top.

I've read a lot of stackoverflow, did a lot of arcane css, learned a bunch of display:table obscurities, and still every option broke somewhere, UI wise. Presumably, some magic combination of css incantations should work.

But I can't spend 2+ hours on a table, and even if it seems to work, I can't guarantee it will continue to work or break subtly on some edge case. And this is very basic stuff, UI wise. I've setled for div/class soup, gridlayout, and a few aria selectors.

Of course [1]! How would they give consistent, cleanly designed UI. I find the UX/UI much more cohesive than Windows' where some apps look like flat boxes (metro UI), others look like classic Windows.

You thought open-source means there'd be no design and they'd only jam code, while designing and architecturing is only for proprietary projects within ivy towered castles?

I think that in principle one could tag the training set with "source" tags and express weights as a sum of subweights for each source tag; during backpropagation, the overall weight and subweight for the training sample would be updated, and during inference linear operations would happen on the subweights as well, while nonlinear operations would scale all subweights by the ratio.

This should in principle allow to determine how much each source influenced each output token of the LLM.

The problem is that this multiplies storage and compute time for tagged inference by the number of source tags, so it may be impractical to actually tag single documents or authors, but might be useful for very broad categories like "copyrighted" vs "non-copyrighted", "synthetic" vs "human generated", "photo" vs "drawing" vs "rendering", year range of publication, etc.

It's still photogrammetry + skybox, not that much different from what Valve were showing off in The Lab back in 2016. PPD is higher on account of the more advanced headset and that does make a difference, but it didn't blow me away or anything. You can still see the seams when you look close, the cutoff point between geometry and façade, you notice that there's never much foliage nearby, that anything animated tends to look like a mesh from a video game, because it is.

[AFAICT there was a lot of paranoia on the Soviet side, and as a basis for that paranoia they pointed to all the Capitalist forces active in russia during the revolution, but in retrospect some part of all that foreign intervention had been due to a problem of their own making: they believed world revolution was only a few years off (and just maybe they didn't want to look inconsistent with their own ideology?), so instead of doing what any reasonable mafia would've done and kept on paying dividends on imperial paper (perhaps even after negotiating an acceptable haircut?) and maybe even paying lip service to IP rights, on both fronts they rather rudely essentially told all the now-former investors to "go to wood"]

TL;DR - today the CNI itself is interface to network implementation, so you'd need a minimal one.

But you do not need a "complex" CNI. Originally k8s pretty much worked with assumption you can route few subnets in good old static way to the cluster and that's it, and it works with that kind of approach still - each node gets a /24, there's a separate shared /24 (or more) for services, etc.

The complexities came from the fact that a lot of places that wanted to deploy kubernetes couldn't provide such a simple network infrastructure to hosts, then later what was a workaround got equipped with various extra bells&whistles
Normally I would agree with you, but in this case I think it's using a weapon against a similar weapon. HR automation tools are the worst. I was recently searching for a job, my resume is pretty fantastic. I have amazing experience and it was reviewed by many friends, it's great.

Despite that I got rejected from a job whose top duties included subjects on which I literally published books. Literally wrote books with subject matter in the title, got published by publishers (not self published) and yet I got an email saying I didn't fit the job. Got very few callbacks which isn't a normal thing, I'm pretty sure most jobs didn't even let an engineer see my resume.

Why is it OK to waste out time with these postings and automated filtering?

How is that not spam?

Mine sometimes don't charge in the case, and can either end up with the case fully charged and the airpods fully drained, or if they charge/discharge through the night with the airpods at a random charge and the case somewhat drained.

I seem to be the only person this happens to, but the won't-charge-in-the-case problem was so bad with my original airpods pro that Apple ended up replacing the case, then the airpods pro and the case, over a very frustrating several months of back and forth. My new airpods pro were fine for maybe eight months, but the problem has started again. So far it's only once every few weeks, which I can live with.

I grew up in a small town in the US before cell phones were ubiquitous.

When we started getting cell phones, the numbers all had the same first six digits. The last four were assigned in order of provisioning.

My friend and I got our phones at nearly the same time, so our numbers were like 555-555-1004 and 555-555-1008.

This came in handy when I was going to visit him years later, and my phone died on the plane. I didn’t have anyone’s cell number memorized other than my parents (555-555-1013) and his thanks to the numeric similarity. (We kept the same phone numbers when we moved away from home.)

In this town, landline phones also all shared the same first six digits. Before cell phones got into the mix in the late 1990s, people could (and did) use 5 digits to represent phone numbers: 3-XXXX where the 3 referred to the first digit of the “exchange code”. The next town was 8-XXXX, etc.
This is a good illustration of one of the perils of TypeScript, in a funny way. It’s easy to get lost writing a complex verifier for your model using the fantastic type system… and then wake up the next morning and remember that at some point you’ll need to actually implement the logic.

And you’ll probably give up and end it with `return result as unknown as ComplexVerifierType<A, B, C>` anyway.

Yes, 'this' can be really problematic.

There are two problems with using ‘this’: Firstly, there may be ambiguity in what ‘this’ refers to. If a paragraph starts with ‘this means…’ or similar, it is impossible to understand the paragraph without looking back through the text – which of course makes it hard to dip into a text (e.g. especially in non-fiction, where readers may dip in to find some specific fact). Furthermore, any unit of text starting with ‘this’ cannot be copied and pasted somewhere else (e.g. from the main body of a report into the conclusions), where the meaning of ‘this’ is completely lost.

I think the problem sometimes happens because the author is writing in a flow state (they are ‘in the zone’) and is creating text that relates to their current mental model of something. This mental state is of course not accessible to a reader, or perhaps not even to the same author at a later date.

Solutions include getting an independent review by someone who isn’t also involved in the writing process, or if this is impossible, reviewing the text yourself after leaving it alone for a while. The ‘this at the start of a text unit’ problem is analogous to a linting check and doesn’t need to be done by a domain expert.
