Well, I guess if you make no effort to understand other peoples use case, you can make sweeping generalizations like that. If you need particular features, power consumption, or other factors, a 2-4 gen old used mini might not be the right answer.

Looking at the OP, there's a ton of i5-8500s in the same price range as a new n305 on Amazon (not bargain hunting here, I'm sure you can find either option much cheaper anywhere). Compared to an N305, a i5-8500 has less cores/threads (6), has al least 4x the TPD, and has a significantly worse GPU. And many people want to buy new. But the used i5 is more expandable, and particularly affords more max memory.

> I'm oversimplifying it, but the matter of a fact is that this judge and the political party in power are acting like fascists, they've even tried getting several popular VPN applications banned by asking Google and Apple to remove them.

The political party in power is socialist and defines itself as socialist. The president openly defines himself as a "socialist". [1]

So, they aren't acting as fascists, they are acting as socialists. Which, granted, is mostly the same in many aspects.

Those aren't the only criminal records he brings up. I also said:

I've heard that for 15 years straight, they went for adult content RealID before going for VPNs - which, if your beliefs end up being true - was a ridiculous order of priority. Thus, I don't think they'll go for VPNs.
You said they would “shut it down,” which can reasonably be interpreted as killing the feature. If you meant something more specific, you should have said that. Clarity is the duty of the speaker.

There is no "they" - academic research labs are funded by their own grants, and are pretty close to being separate companies that just rent space from the university. BOINC is funded by donations and grants from the NSF and NASA.

Academic administration that makes decisions about things like e-mail account policies is an entirely different thing from research labs doing projects like BOINC, ultimately controlled by the state government- although it can and does choose to delegate some responsibilities to academic faculty.

Once there is a payment, it's a business relationship. You don't want to enter a business relationship with an alumni who graduated many years ago that could be anywhere in the world doing anything, unless you can handle that. (Donations are different though, for whatever reason. It actually wouldn't be a bad idea to tie email storage with donations.)

Professors, staff and registered students etc, on the other hand, is easier to deal with.
Yeah, I won't defend this decision, it's an unaccountable decision made by a single man who has decided that he personally has the right to decide what people can and cannot say.

I've heard some defend it as "well, that's just how the law is in Brazil" but the same defense could be given for any dictatorship and it's rather telling that even those who advance this as a defense do not even attempt to give an account for why a single person playing judge, jury & executioner is a good way for this to be done.

If the question is, “What happens if all of society rejects X group for their beliefs”, well that’s civilization. Part of the implicit agreement is that we can all reasonably agree on some things. If someone rejects that notion, well, there can be consequences (even for the “correct” position (say civil rights)).

Some people do go into remission from a terminal cancer diagnosis, either because the diagnosis was wrong or because they live long enough for an approved treatment to come on the market. Also, that you have terminal cancer doesn’t say anything about how long you’re going to live. You can live for many years with terminal cancer.

I do think we’re overly cautious with drug approvals and I think we should be more open to leaving the decision to patients and their medical teams, but it’s not as simple as saying someone’s terminally ill, so just do whatever. Reducing it down to the trolley problem makes it seem much more black and white and immediate than it really is.

Nope. They had it exactly right. Notice the past tense. You're just adding more context to what they said. I was able to skip out on usenet for quite a while during the Netflix golden years because Netflix made consuming content much easier than pirating at the time.

They issue faraday bags for student devices, including Apple Watches.

My daughter is homeschooled, but attends the local high school for a couple of classes so she can be a part of student organizations. She’s allowed her iPad and her laptop - both of which are cellular - but not her phone or watch.

Out advice is for her to keep her mouth shut and don’t let even the other kids know she has “access”. Weirdest of all is that the school issues Chromebooks, so it’s not like every kid there doesn’t have a half dozen messaging apps at their disposal anyhow.
I had strange symptoms post-Covid infection - my ability to recognize faces was very distorted and it seemed like everyone was familiar to me. It was like everyone I saw was an old high school acquaintance or maybe a celebrity, and I would get anxious because I didn't remember their name.
This guy is the head of the STF, the highest court in Brazil, so he's kinda doing an "I am the law" bit here.

That said, I do think that judges in Brazil can have a larger investigative role due to the different legal system that does not happen in other countries with more separation of powers to prevent exactly this sort of thing.

> The row began in April, with the judge ordering the suspension of dozens of X accounts for allegedly spreading disinformation.

Not a fan of the idea that a judge (or politician) can just order accounts banned... especially banned for "disinformation."

In theory its fine but of course it all depends on who is defining what is disinformation and what isn't. I mean basically its a fancy word for lying. How often is "politician X is a liar" getting thrown around?

I hate how we've given weight behind "misinformation" and "disinformation" and "fact-checking" as if those are immune from bias just the same as "lying."

I suspect that the biggest reason for the low fare evasion rate on Caltrain is that the line serves a relatively-wealthy clientele for whom the fare isn't a burden. Many of Caltrain's patrons even get subsidies from the companies they're commuting to.

Interestingly, until recently fare evasion on Caltrain was a criminal infraction. In the past few years, Caltrain has moved to a flat $75 civil penalty instead (like a parking ticket), which I believe ended up earning Caltrain more money overall because it's less hassle for conductors.

> Tangential - your last line made me think about what "Fare well" means.

Fare is unrelated to fair:

> From Middle English farewel, from fare wel! (and the variants with the personal pronoun "fare ye well" and "fare you well" used in the Renaissance), an imperative expression, possibly further derived from Old English far wel!, equivalent to fare (“to fare, travel, journey”) +‎ well.*

* https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/farewell#Etymology

So to say "farewell" to someones is "have a good journey (in life?)".

I use the fib conversions quite regularly.

Both of your examples are actually easy Fibonacci numbers.

50kph - 5 is a fib number, and the previous number is 3. I can go 50->30 without any math at all.

And 80kph, well 8 is also a fib number. And the previous is 5. I can go 80->50 without any math at all.

120kph is close to 13, so I know 120kph is somewhere below 80mph. I always divide any remainder by 2, so I would quick math my way to 120->75. That's accepatably close to the real answer of 74.4

Same thing with 110kph. That's close to 13, so I'd quick math to 70 mph (130->80, remainder is 20, subtract half the remainder). That's acceptably close to the real answer of 68.2

That sounds like a pretty American way to see things. What's next - we send F-16 to bring democracy to Brasil ?

Somehow, we came to normalize that US Tech companies, are above local laws. They pay virtually no taxes in countries they operate in.

The brazilian court does seem pretty arbitrary, and not behaving at all as we would expect (we, as in the 'West'). Just don't do business there and it's fine.
I would expand on risk aversion.

If I am running a service as an engineer I already have huge amounts of stuff that can go wrong. If that stuff is in my control so I can do something about it when it breaks I feel safe and confident.

As soon as I get to depend on a 3rd party who might or might not have resources to fix my issue I feel nervous because I have my own stuff to deal with and now I get 3rd party tool that might bring more problems.
>managed to slam together every AI buzzword into a semi usable product!

THANK YOU! Initial motivation for us was, to a large extent, making it easier to throw data into an API and test to see if all the latest AI buzzword tech was useful for your problem. Hearing that we've done that in a semi-usable way is energizing!

> re-index and keep updating

Yes. It updates in real-time and we are collecting CTR data and analytics to continually fine-tune. There's also a "Rate Results" button which we are looking at the feedback from to improve.

> partial updates

Partial updates work really well and we are doing it constantly with no impact to performance or uptime. Full indexing from zero is only required if we want to make an index-wide change to improve relevance.

> GPUs strictly necessary? Is it possible to use only CPUs if indexing speed isn't a great concern?

They are not strictly required. But, inference on CPU is going to be 300+ms at minimum which makes the search feel very laggy. Indexing on CPU is actually less painful than search, because it's lot more ok for that to be slow.

> Does it really require a terabyte of working memory to index and serve all of the data for HN? (4x 256GB / 128 CPUs is mentioned in your ops details)

We didn't build our own db engine solution and are running Qdrant for this. We certainly tried to get memory usage down and this is the best we got. Qdrant's calculator says this should only take 128gb's with Dense vectors and binary quantization, but we just didn't find that to be true. However, it may be the case that we can improve this further with time.

> indexing other high-quality data sources

Maybe? I'm somewhat active on lobste.rs, but don't partipate much in the other communities which reduces my interest. HN is really cool since I understand it enough to get a feel for how good the search is which helps us tune things for the overall product.

I almost always run websites with Javascript (sometimes I turn it off to get out of illegal cookie walls). I don't really care about the website requiring Javascript (even though it doesn't for this specific page), I care about the explicit hostility against someone whose browser doesn't load JS.

The website would've been fine if they hadn't added anything, yet they went out of their way to insult a small minority of their visitors using a <noscript> element, and took the time to write a weird rant about how you should really enable Javascript for some reason (I guess they only know frontend stuff and don't know how to run a backend server?).

To me, this degrades the website to the level of "personal blog of someone with a grudge" as much as websites that'll redirect you to a rant for leaving Javascript on. For a personal blog, that's just a weird quirk, but for a supposedly scientific, academic space to publish research, that's just bad vibes.
