I went to a talk by a very old physicist. At the end of his talk, he said, recalling from memory, all of the great experiments of the past were done by nothing. If an experiment costs more than $100, I am out.

His setup has mud in a jar and bacteria in it which you can see with a simple microscope or handheld lens.
> don't think that the few "blocked" tweets where you still can't interact with is making a real difference in term of ad monetizable engagement

Engagement scales with outrage. If there is a singular marker of outrage, it's in blocking.

> not for AI indexation

Why would Twitter want to help third parties train their AI on its data? Musk already has an AI venture. If there were a secret agenda around AI, it would be in reducing visibility. Not increasing it.

> removing the paywall needing an account to access user content

What paywall? The sign-in wall? Again, why would Twitter have a hidden agenda to undermine something Twitter is doing to boost user numbers?

These hypotheses are incoherent because they don't stem from any observations, but are trying to work backwards to justify the existence of a hidden agenda.
> This is a problem in general with trying to achieve meritocracy. These merit based tests only work when all things are equal.

This assumes that the goal is egalitarianism, and filtering by "merit" is merely a means to achieve that goal.

If instead the goal is to get your tasks done as effectively as possible, it doesn't really matter whether someone's effective because of inherent ability vs education quality. People not reaching their full potential due to lack of resources does reduce how effectively your tasks get done, but is a separate issue from how to best select someone from the people who are actually available.

If instead the goal is to displace problematic things like factionalism or nepotism or corruption as the mechanism for filling official positions, it's only a problem to the extent that one group (along a dimension you actually care about) can keep resources away from all other competing groups and to the extent that any such monopolized resources are actually necessary.
I absolutely agree. There are such clear benefits to thicker and heavier laptops. Drawbacks as well, obviously, but it is crazy how lopsided the market seems to be in favor of compactness, even at the cost of power, battery, and reliability.

Same applies to phones.
that's a weird notion of hacker purity. did you write your own kernel and compiler and web browser, on your own CPU that you built from transistors you made in your parents garage? and then connected to an Internet of your own creation? or did you "outsource" some part of that process to others?

This made me think of Charles Stross' observation that Corporations (and bureaucracies and basically any rule-based organizations) are a form of artificial intelligence.

Come to think of it, the whole article is rather pertinent to this thread.
Truly, is there not a single tech or tech-related services company that doesn't enshittify itself as fast as possible to parasitism for growth at all costs? A privacy service of all things, putting this forward. It's almost laughable.

The market has always had companies doing nefarious things for self serving reasons, no doubt, but in the world of digital services and technology companies it seems to be completely pervasive. This has become especially the case since user data became valuable and collectible at scale. We now see a shadowy, ravenous world of being able to trust nearly nobody with anything personal, despite being goaded and forced into handing ever more of that data over at any possible turn.

Not only that, but in the same drive to squeeze every last newly discovered potential dollar, even companies that previously had nothing to do with any notion of user data collection are rerouting the way they sell to customers so that they can do the exact same thing.

For example, sellers of cars, home appliances, and even those who sell things like toilets, mattresses, power tools pushing so-called "smart" technology whose main purpose is to extract data from every customer. and in nearly any other physical product field, we increasingly see the same.

Sure, part of this is caused by a general inertia of the market and technology as whole, driven by a company-level desire to not be left behind, and to maintain a PR of being a company that's as advanced as the next competitor. But whether these things are happening for these reasons or for more specifically self-serving motives, the result is the same: a complete normalization of deeply invasive surveillance to a degree that would have seemed completely fantastic to anyone from even a few decades earlier.

Fuck every single one of the tech bro CEOs, paper pushing managerial parasites, code crunching monkeys and other useful idiots who helped make this new world a reality.

No! Take those devices to electronics recycling. They DO NOT go into your municipal trash. Lithium-ion batteries can start fires inside your garbage truck, forcing the truck to dump its flaming contents onto the street. Electronics contain hazardous materials. And electronics contain valuable materials worth recycling. Where I live, it is illegal to put electronics in your municipal trash.
Not quite.

This is both a reasonable exposition and fairly short.

But also keep in mind data collection and transmission and sharing and rule enforcement are not really a jurisdiction thing.

This is even wronger than what you critique.

For every period in history that we have good data for people had a half-life - a period in which you'd expect half of all people to die: https://batintheattic.blogspot.com/2011/07/medieval-populati...

For example in medieval Germany it looked something like:

| Age | Half-life |
| 0-10 | 10 |
| 10-20 | 40 |
| 20-40 | 20 |
| 40-80 | 10 |

It's called a population pyramid not a population column for a reason.

The exact age varies by location, but even if we ignore everyone under 10, half of all people left would still die before they are 40.
Because on the other side of the coin, in every large society there will also always be a small percentage of people who will try very hard do the right thing.

The oras binary dependency could be replaced with lisp code. Doing this was a very low priority when I was getting started, mainly since oras works very well and is much better tested than anything I could put together myself. In truth, it's still a low priority for me, but I wouldn't be opposed to reviewing patches if somebody felt like doing this.

For what it's worth, oras is packaged in homebrew for both mac and linux, and the homebrew ocicl package uses this instead of its own.

Certainly principles of international jurisdiction are well settled and fairly consistent. In that sense the comment was correct.
However, you are also correct that legal principles around information collection and transmission are both new and not well settled.

This feels like one of those hn discussions where everyone will end up talking past each other because of terminology failure.
> even just updating the dependencies might sometimes be impossible (in a reasonable timeframe).

The economic nationalism of the Democratic party (though there's plenty of support for this from the Republicans too) is reaching a new sort of crescendo in recent years. That's par for the course. What isn't and shouldn't be is that these same tendencies have moved in the direction of indirectly controlling access to information platforms and means of expressing oneself. Banning TikTok for example, done under the guise of surveillance fears and the absurd boogeyman of "misinformation" takes circumventions of free speech protection to new levels.

Looking at the URL has me thinking that this confusion would be resolved if HN adds a small piece of logic to treat the domain publish.obsidian.md specially, just like how HN already does for pages served under forbes.com/sites which is not written by the Forbes staff themselves.

So instead of showing the domain as obsidian.md, HN would show the domain for this link as publish.obsidian.md

In many, perhaps most, signalling pathways, amplitude doesn't matter much (it does at log-scale). Given how well we control temperature and therefore rate of the reaction, it makes sense to use timing to fight off the noise.

I guess there's a significant audience of people who are interested in cryptocurrency but know nothing about it.

Even as someone who likes crypto, it seems like the push for "public acceptance" of cryptocurrency starting like 8 years ago was way too early and mostly caused by price action. I also blame the "steve jobs" imagery we always see associating technological development with mass adoption, It's clear that you have to develop the a strong basic use case first before marketing to users.

The time spent discussing poltics and price of crypto and onboarding new users would be better spent developing the core technology and creating simple real-world markets that use cryptocurrency. Instead, cryptocurrency is getting outmoded by the likes of "dumb" systems like CashApp and more competitive inter-bank systems like Plaid.

The mass of uneducated users in cryptocurrency space is a major problem because it does not allow the open-source development process to be democratic. That requires a userbase that is proactive about change and willing to undergo Hard-Forks that respect the users at large (against other interest groups like Miners, Owners, etc.).
And a parametric design requires you to buy the commercial Fusion license.
I’ve used Firestore a few years back. Just checked and indeed the same vulnerability is present. Users can’t create/change submissions with a different userID but can change the userID of their own submissions, thus impersonating someone else.

Of course, that was 2021 and I had barely started programming. Not sure if I’d make the same mistake now (of using Firestore in the first place :)

Again, then why the need for this feature if it is so easy to get around a block? A harasser can do many things, but removing a barrier for the person being harassed to mitigate it because… reasons feels very odd to me.

The first thing that should be done - which should be easy enough to do, is demonstrating blasphemy with the voices of all the most pious leaders that lead the lynch mobs. If those ones get believed, well, problem is solved in an alternate way.

I also however don’t believe that deepfaked porn is actually harmful. People are already imagining people naked, and it’s been easy to photoshop a nude for 15 years.

I had similar questions after seeing the release info and doing a quick scan.

I came to the HN Comments here and the first thing I see is someone asking exactly what I was wondering, followed by this:

> If "alongside Plex, Jellyfin" would be an intended use-case then I would've involved those names in the README or website.

I appreciate that this is an open source project you've likely put hundreds or thousands of hours of work into. You're under no obligation to be 'nice' or polite to people.

But the perceived tone of this reply doesn't leave a positive impression.

I see others have also left similarly... negative? sarcastic? replies to other questions about it.

Does JAX have its own implementations of matmul, flash attention etc? Or does it use the ROCm implementations like PyTorch does? (e.g,. hipblaslt, Composable Kernel FA etc)

Not too familiar with JAX, but the abysmal PyTorch training perf on MI300x is in large part attributable to the slow perf of the ROCm libraries it is using under the hood.

Hybrid device does power generation and molecular solar thermal energy storage
My first thought is acoustics.

Empty spaces are resonant spaces, and this can be heard when the phone's speaker(s) are playing sounds and/or the microphones are microphoning. Mechanically damping resonances is always superior to handling them with DSP -- a DSP doesn't need to account for resonances that simply aren't problematic to begin with, freeing it for other duties.

Such resonances can also be heard when handling the phone -- even when it is off. Tapping on the phone and hearing/feeling a dull, well-damped thud inspires more of a perception of solidity than a lingering resonance does, even though such foam itself contributes nothing to to the structure of the device at all.
Did Coinbase sell my email? I received spam traced to them
Hello HN,

I usually use a unique `+` email suffix for each service I sign up for.

Today, I received an email to my `____+coinbase@gmail.com` containing what I consider spam. You can see a screenshot of the email here,

https://imgur.com/a/14nOr3G

I'm wondering if other Coinbase users received the same email. It seems they want to use people's residential internet as a proxy for website scraping.

Did Coinbase sell my email? or is Coinbase somehow related to this company?

Western animation is varied, but I think anime overall still has an upper hand.

In anime not too unusual to see shows like Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju which is a historical drama that follows the apprentice of a master stage entertainer in the Showa era. Very niche, but also quite interesting. Stuff like that almost never gets animated TV shows in the US.

Roadside Picnic by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky. It's a truly mind-bending work.
If you read what he wrote closely, he doesn't claim what you just claimed. Read it word for word:

"humanity discovered an algorithm that could really, truly learn any distribution of data (or really, the underlying “rules” that produce any distribution of data). To a shocking degree of precision, the more compute and data available, the better it gets at helping people solve hard problems"

He's an optimistic guy, no doubt, but he isn't full of shit.
