I've seen so many posts critical of Google here on HN that it would be surprising if there was any such suppression going on.
I kind think we've arrived in this moment to be honest. I think it's fairly mainstream (in discursive environments) that the most recent moral panic has been hijacked by mostly WASPish elites to capture positions of power in across communities seen to have some cultural influence (hence, esp., tech).

What I imagine is also now clear is: how little these people really understand about the politics they profess (eg., in this case, saying emjois are some sort of communicative violence); how little they care about the communities they've tried to hijack; and how mistaken they are about the nature of the power that exists within them.

A bit like a dog chasing a car that finally bites it, I doubt any of them are very happy. Consider how many WASPish elite journalist types have flooded into various media journalism and criticism, and how repulsed their own audiences are at them, and likewise. It's pretty obvious that many critics in these areas despise their audiences, and the enviroments they are in.

One imagines a similar wave of realisation is hitting these groups who've tried to take over technical organisations. In the end, these are incredibly meritocratic communities whose advancement is just "someone does something". You can't really argue with volunteers of this sort, you might as well argue with the sea. If you defame them, humiliate them, marginalise them, the people left won't be the ones who do any work. You cannot browbeat people into volunteering, only out of it.

This is the asymmetry at work that these obnoxious power-chasing elites are starting to realise: their obnoxiousness and abusiveness can only alienate, it cannot include. And so, no one watches their movies, tv programs, plays their games, reads their articles, or.. volunteers for their open source projects.

But we have to be very clear here: this has nothing to do with injustice. The people who are active fighting to reduce sexism, working in domestic violence shelters; fighting racism, working with police to reduce community violence; and so on -- these people are not out there on twitter posting slurs against perceived enemies.

This group had found out that you could use this issues to defame people online, worm your way into positions of power, and somehow gain some status and credibility. Now they are discovering how self-destructive and pointless such a strategy has been .
Common Crawl is shown in their screen shot of "Providers" along side OpenAI and Antropic. The challenge is that Common Crawl is used for a lot of things that are not AI training. For example, it's a major source of content for the Wayback machine.

In fact, that's the entire point of the Common Crawl project. Instead of dozens of companies writing and running their (poorly) designed crawlers and hitting everyone's site, Common Crawl runs once and exposes the data in industry standard formats like WARC for other consumers. Their crawler is quite well behaved (exponential backoff, obeys Crawl-Delay, will use SiteMaps.xml to know when to revisit, follows Robots.txt, etc.).

There are significant knock-on effects if CloudFlare starts (literally) gatekeeping content. This feels like a step down the path to a world where the majority of websites use sophisticated security products that gatekeep access to those who pay and those who don't, and that applied whether they are bots or people.

Came here to say "trees". ;)

If you have a 2 dimensional sheet of paper, with 3 syntax characters (space to separate words, newline to separate nodes, and a space to create scopes), you can create a tree representation of any structure ('All structures are trees' [0]). This is so useful and profound and will radically simplify the software world over the next 10 years.

Now if you have 4 dimensions, there's other things you can do, but at this time, trees in 2D using the PPS stack (Particles, Parsers, and Scroll), are quite revolutionary and will help you scale exactly what you found in this case to all your software cases (going from quite a mess to way simpler).

Peepo.live – A Better Way for Twitch Streamers to Collect Viewer Submissions
Hey HN,

I’ve just launched a new project called Peepo.live, and I’d love to get your feedback!

As a Twitch viewer, I’ve always been frustrated by the lack of a good system for streamers to collect user-submitted content (song requests, videos to react to, etc.). Streamers often use Reddit, Discord, or email, but it’s difficult to know if submissions are coming from followers or subscribers, and there’s no simple way to filter and manage the entries.

Peepo.live aims to solve that by creating a streamlined, Twitch-integrated platform for content collection and community engagement.

Key Features:

Streamers can create rooms where they control who can post (everyone, followers, or subscribers).
Moderators can approve or decline submissions, and users can vote on content.
All content is tied to the viewer’s Twitch account, and submissions are displayed directly on the page, with no need to click links.
The goal is to make it easier for streamers to react to the best community submissions, rather than dealing with random content scattered across different platforms.

I’d love any thoughts, questions, or feedback you have. If you’re a Twitch streamer, I’d especially appreciate it if you gave it a try!

Thanks for checking it out!

This includes a lot of things. We have had less than 100 years to adjust to the technological revolution and rapid globalization. Its seem that we take for granted that we will adapt to a completely different world. Humans have spent the majority of our existence in a wildly different environment and our adaption to a completely new environment won't be quick nor without many lives lost and quality of life affected.

For example:
Unhealthy, addictive food along with modern food preservation is responsible for the most deaths in the US through obesity and heart disease, with obesity having a a high number of comordibities including sleep apnea, anxiety, depression, and (arguably) ADHD (further research needs to be conducted). Food in the past was limited and not available in vast excess to the average human, and certainly not foods that are extremely unhealthy and addictive.

Another example would be a higher average life expectancy. How do you deal with a population of 70-80 years olds who many can't work, require disproprotionate resources for their survival, and age related mental & cognitive decline.

What is the solution? We can wait for humans to adapt, evolotuarily and socially, which will take many thousands of years. Or we can enact political change. The issue is that we these changes need to balance the increasing power and ability of the state with individual freedoms. Along with having a lean political machine that can further change for the future. I don't see a way forward, not that it doesn't exist, but this is an environment more unlike any other one we have ever known and the next 10-100 years of the species is as unpredictable for us as it has ever been spanning back as far as the start of the agricultural revolution.
If "shoulds" in life were biscuits everyone would be fat.
If they don't offer to just block the bots instead of you signing on, then I imagine it'd easily be seen as a racket.

How much effort then Cloudflare puts on tracking circumvention efforts of bot networks is then another question.
Pricing is 0.6¢/request, which means you can easily rack up a large bill if you're not careful/clever. For example, autocomplete on key press (most common use case) for San Francisco would potentially search S, Sa, San, "San ", San F, San Fr, etc. for up to 8 cents for that one search.

This doesn't seem like something that even really needs an API. A quick google search provided me with a CSV of cities 47,000 cities including county code, population, location, etc. Trimming that down only important items I was able to get a 400kb file that I could easily embed in any app/webpage and search against instantly.

The "high-precision geolocation data for enhanced accuracy" claim is also quite dubious. Even in the blog's example, it's showing Winter Garden to 8 decimal places. Am I to believe that a) it's accurate to 1.1mm (0.04in), and that b) something as large as a city needs to be that precise? You shouldn't need more than 3 decimal places (111m accuracy), or in many cases 2 (1.11km) to describe the location of a city.
Ah yes, the ol' monopoly invents an illusionary marketplace ploy.

Cloudflare is obviously right here. AI has changed things so an open web is no longer possible. /s

Can you think of why it is a good idea for vehicles which weigh 2000kg and more to be used to transport 90kg loads all day long at needless risk to lesser road users?

Why can't the motor vehicle industry develop smaller powered vehicles sheltered from the elements for personal transport, something not much more than a 3 wheeled scooter with a canopy?

As a technically aware guy does that really make sense?

Motor vehicles as they are are primarily recreational vehicles and status symbols, not means of moving 100kg individuals and their handbags or briefcases if they are carrying any around town.

So maybe the hole somehow prevents leaks, which would prevent drying in the sense of no more ink :) Maybe it prevents leaks by making the ink at the tip dry out.
I think you’re perhaps over indexing on the one game in the list. The other games in the list have no VR mode at all. So they could run standalone in a flat screen view, but with fairly poor performance.

Gorilla tag also has an ARM version already for Quest. So why would valve not just start from there? The Quest line of products use effectively the only SoC that Valve would have access to anyway for the XR space.

Imho desktop and tethered playing are far more likely targets. I think Deckard might show up someday but it’s become a vessel for everyone’s hopes and dreams.

An artisan was historically a guy working for himself in a small market shop, carving at a chair or sewing leather shoes. The masons tasked to build the castle walls were not "artisans" so there we could see the same focus on efficiency - although a bit of beauty had still its place here and there. My point? Today we don't have those artisan shops, just expectations from regular masons to carve gargoyles at every wall corner.
Alternately: Spectical - Specification skepticism. Doubts based on technical specifications that may later be assuaged by real world performance. "I was spectical of the Nintendo Switch because it had nine year old CPU, but it still delivered games that were more fun than the Xbox X or PS5."

How Netflix won the streaming wars
Bummer. Agree w/workaround solutions. I've just flipped to other browsers for most situations.
I'm not sure it's something I would use but it looks like some good work.

At first glance the pricing seems a little high for a single-use tool. It is still cheaper than using humans but also, as it sounds like you are aware you are aware, there are some issues demo page that the AI agents didn't call out that a human would have.

I like that you included developer tool results in your summary. Consider possibly including Accessibility results in there as well. A11y is something a lot of developer and product people don't think about. It could be you already have it and I just didn't notice.
Though ADHD meds tend to have even more extreme physiological effects on the body than a bunch of caffeine. But at least, in return, they work.
YouTube has tons of content that isn't borderline brain damage (it has tons of that too though, no doubt).

Other streaming services guide all their content into a wide-audience general-public-friendly funnel. You are not going to find hour long specials on Fourier transforms or technical analyses on the Hubble tension. YouTube also has tons of low-production quality, high informational quality content that doesn't exist anywhere else.
You bet your ass they do! Play Protect "may deactivate or remove harmful apps from your device" [0]. I'm not sure how much more straightfoward they could be. Google built this tool, they objectively have the ability to remove apps from your device, and advertise it as a feature. Now an Argentinian court of law is demanding they use this feature to remove an app.

Notably, this "feature" is on by default - and we all know just how pushy large corporations can be about how their services are to be used, to the point options are routinely toggled "accidentally". Things like auto-update settings for apps on the Play Store, or... well, name a Microsoft feature they're pushing.

Defamation doesnt require you to name the person, only for it to be obvious to a relevant reader who it is. The fact we're all talking about Tim kinda resolves that problem on the face of it.

> I’m probably an outlier here.

The author is, unfortunately. I know because I am exactly the same when it comes to music. I couldn't be less interested in streaming services and get my music either through CDs or through downloads when I can get a lossless, unencumbered recording.

Streaming is ephemeral, and all the money I'd pay to get temporary access to music could be spent on getting effectively permanent access to music.

I also run a streaming server for those instances where I really do want to stream. It's just not going to be somebody else's.

All that said, I don't care if others use streaming services. If it works for you, that's great! It just doesn't work for me.

Show HN: I built A Ruby DSL for creating notion templates
Hey HN community,

A few years back I got my ADHD diagnosis. Around that time I discovered notion and been obsessed with it especially creating templates.

The only issue is that It takes me a long time to create complex templates coz I have a cerebral palsy so I am slower with the UI Builder Notion.

On a different note, always been facinated with rails and the power of Ruby DSLs. But there was always something in my life distracting me.

so I wanted to build this for myself first. I got some help from chatgpt to get up to speed. I'd love your feedback. Whether I should turn it into a gem or else. Thanks!
Not impossible, just less durable. See also: sockets instead of soldered chips, connectors instead of soldered wires.
So google is the new Microsoft trying to bundle their way to market supremacy to murder competitors. I wonder if they just figured they’d calculate in the fines they’ll get for misuse of monopoly already and just don’t consider the cost high enough to care compared to the gain they’ll have from taking over music streaming.

In the complex software development and management world, the quality of our thinking often determines the success of our projects and teams. Mental models and cognitive biases are crucial in approaching problems, making decisions, and interacting with others.

This article focuses on critical mental models that enhance problem-solving abilities and decision-making processes. We'll also deep-dive into common cognitive biases that can derail even the most experienced professionals. By understanding these concepts, you will become a super thinker and make better decisions.
> Common Crawl runs once and exposes the data in industry standard formats like WARC for other consumers

And what stops companies from using this data for model training? Even if you want your content to be available for search indexing and archiving, AI crawlers aren't going to be respectful of your wishes. Hence the need for restrictive gatekeeping.
> When it comes to collision you should remember the formula "half m v squared"

Of course a car is faster, heavier, and more dangerous but spherical cow and all that. I've never seen a "frontal" collision between a pedestrian and a cyclist. And 99% of incidents I've witnessed between cars and cyclists were side swipes (the car slides into the cyclist's path and the contact is on the side) or the car flat on cutting off the cyclist who subsequently hit the side of the car like a wall. Neither are influenced much by speed.

> how different is a cyclist riding on a narrow road without a sidewalk differ from pedestrian walking the same road?

About 25km/h of difference. Meaning anything the cyclist does happens 7 times faster than with the pedestrian. Hit a pothole? You fly over the handle bars for some meters at 25-30km/h instead of 1.5m under pure gravity.

> They serve to protect the helmets from impacts incurred on their own account

Helmets are there to protect your head from an impact. They don't bother to assess blame.

You're really taking this as "but that's worse so nothing else matters". And this makes you forget one obvious thing: everyone is a pedestrian, not everyone is a cyclist or a driver. Whether you're 8 or 80 years old you're a pedestrian so there's no excuse to endanger them because "it could be worse". And another big difference is street traffic is regulated, sidewalk traffic is not. A cyclist among pedestrians is a more immediate and unpredictable danger to pedestrians (sure, not deadly, a broken wrist is just really unpleasant).

The bottom line is that from my personal experience looking around as mainly a pedestrian and a cyclist, this conversation withstanding, cyclists are the group of people who always expect the favorable treatment even though the cyclist who respects the law is more of a mythical creature. On the street the cars are bigger and faster so should pay more attention. On the sidewalk the same logic no longer applies, the bike is "not that fast or heavy", the injuries aren't "that serious" so the pedestrians should pay attention instead.
