I just tell them no thanks. sometimes they get visibly upset but one place was pushing to do it every 6 months, it just makes no sense unless they're scamming
The parent is making a joke as the grandparent missed the 'M' after 200.

So it reads as 200 monthly active users. Rather than 200M (million) monthly active users.
Can you cheat by purposefully missing the opponent’s conker? Thus reducing the total impact on conkers in this match vs conkers in other matches and getting an advantage?

So where do you suggest people post that is zero cost and advertisement free?

These communities were pushed onto discord because there isn't a better place for them.

The regional live music discord I'm in would be much better served by being on a web forum but running a forum costs money. Or they could use facebook but not everyone in the community has/wants a facebook account. Not everyone uses reddit/twitter/insert your favorite social media.

> why do you want to keep others from seeing this helpful info?

How paranoid would one have to be to think people are moving to discord to be malicious? The garden doesn't have walls to keep you out, the walls are to keep the advertisers/bots out.
There is a variety of open software and COTS hardware that could fully power this network. The client side is the hardest part, especially if you want a phone.

PC modems on a Linux machine are more manageable (But expensive, let's wait a few iterations on RedCap maybe). And SIMs with ADM keys can be purchased from different sources
In my experience the Qwen2-VL models are great at this.
lmao this is always so funny to me. This is all that matters to these dudes.
my /usr is 24G (restricting just to binary dirs, seems 18G). If every single time glibc had an update (perhaps a handful of times a year), I had to update my entire /usr (or with a bit more intelligence, just the binary packages), I'd be burning at least 100G (if not much more) of SSD life a year.

in a world of SSDs that wear out, the concept of updating the entire install every single time, seems problematic.
> In Europe old paid off nuclear plants are regularly being forced off the markets due to supplying too expensive energy.

This is happening because of subsidies given to renewables (renewable energy certificates, net metering, guaranteed feed in prices, CFD) plus policies at the national and EU level (EU Renewable Energy Directive). Take away these policies and you are left with a low quality (intermittent) energy source that requires far more expensive storage to produce power when it is needed.
It seems like that's already supported considering there's mobile apps: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flipperdev...

lmao this is so funny to me, these cheaters and swindlers. This is all that matters to these guys at the end of the day? So lame.
Not sure about the exact nature of your project, but for something similar I’ve worked on, I had success using a combination of custom stop words and streaming data with a bit of custom logic layered on top. By fine-tuning the stop words specific to the domain and applying filters in real-time as the data streams in, I was able to improve the response to users taste. Depending on your use case, adding logic to dynamically adjust stop words or contextually weight them might also help you.
I’m pondering why and how this made to the top of HN.
I’m 47 and played conkers in school on merseyside.

The local ‘conker trees’ were famous!
The smell test here is that swans are flying birds and a human is large(-ish) land mammal. Nature just cannot make a flying bird's bones strong enough because they have to be much lighter.

If we play conkers with each other's bones the swan will lose.

I'd much rather X under Musk while he doesn't live up to his free speech absolutist claims than X under the establishment, where you must use left-wing gender pronoun conventions or be banned.

You're okay with the previous authoritarianism that was imposed that's why you'd prefer a return to the previous setup. If you believed in political neutrality and Free Speech, you would be hardly annoyed by Musk not being as committee to Free Speech as he claims, while he reverses what had been an overwhelming censorship program.
Because they were all horrible people? The atctecs were the russians of south america- a grueling empire, that had it won the run to steam ships first would have invaded africa and europe, to build human sacrifice pyramids?

They are just characters, surfing the waves of technological change and resulting cultural power asymmetries. They are surprisingly irrelevant and replaceable. But they are the representatives of cultural deficiencies, propelled onwards by geography and circumstances into moments of clarity, where one party is thrown into a "catchup" race at all costs to prevent the other from overtaking it now or later.

And your best is twice the price for something strictly worse. (I've used NY public transport, it's much worse than anything I've seen in Germany).

One thing adults often also do, and which you just did by continuing to ignore the point, is treat arguments as soldiers.
Well ... obviously any Gettier-style example will not have enough evidence because someone came to the wrong conclusion. But there is a subtle flaw in your objections to Wikipedia's examples - to have a proper argument you would need to provide a counterexample where there is enough evidence to be certain of a conclusion. And the problem is that isn't possible - no amount of evidence is enough to come to a certain conclusion.

The issue that Gettier & friends is pointing to is that there are no examples where there is enough evidence. So under the formal definition it isn't possible to have a JTB. If you've seen enough evidence to believe something ... maybe you'd misinterpreted the evidence but still came to the correct conclusion. That scenario can play out at any evidence threshold. All else failing, maybe you're having an episode of insanity and all the information your senses are reporting are wild hallucinations but some of the things you imagine happening are, nonetheless, happening.

That's what ChatGPT sometimes struggles to do correctly for Serbia : the rules are tricky and depend on the surrounding text. Eg. if you want to say "In figures 4 and 5", you are already struggling (even in English).

So even embedding latest LLM won't solve it so it's better to leave it to the author to do the right thing.

hahahaha! thank you! starting my day with a belly laugh is a great privilege!

but seriously, just because most of the tech bros admire him, doesn't mean I need to hear every idiocy that comes out of his deranged mind.

even when it's something truly interesting - I watched the space x double landing on YouTube a few hours after it happened several years ago - I don't need to be informed of every single thing the instant it happens.
Yes, it's so horrible, just like the on air signs in audio recording rooms from the 1920s are very dystopian, so bad. It's not like everyone is working from home now.

The text always clearly states how your code has to behave, albeit it doesn't spell out every edge case you might overlook. Real world specs on the other hand is often contradictory and impossible to fullfil.
I grew up in the 90s and we played conkers.

The main detail I remember was that soaking them in vinegar was supposed to make them stronger!
The article on the site is vague, but if you go to the company's site, and examine the images, you can get a close look at the airship design. The image on the web site [1] is higher resolution than the web site needs, and you can zoom in if you open the image directly.

The cargo capacity of the airship shown appears to be four 20-foot containers, or 4 TEU.
This is comparable to a B-747 freighter. Current new price of a B-747 freighter is about US$400 million. Trips per unit time would be less but fuel cost would be lower.

Large container ships are now in the 20,000 TEU range.

It's not clear there's much demand for faster container shipping. Container ships tend to run slower than they can, to save fuel. Maersk has some 4,000 TEU high speed container ships capable of 29 knots, but due to lack of a market and huge fuel costs, they're mothballed in a loch in Scotland.

But we are not writing a scientific paper here; we are having a discussion. I guess if it matters in the scientific sense, one would be more careful; so if the discussion would be about a new type of medicine then 'cures all people' would be a stupid thing to say. Here however, it doesn't matter. But point taken: I guess I commented as HN has especially has this nasty about of commenting on
things where it indeed doesn't matter, stuff like 'citation needed' or 'but it cannot be most people, because I know blah blah blah'. Pointless let's say for this phone discussion; might be relevant for a medicine/vaccine or so.
And remember, the KDE project was the source of both safari and chrome (khtml was the base for safari, which google later used for chrome).
Isn’t the entire point of Chesterton’s fence to consider things ex post facto? How would you explain places that have regulations for taxis but not artificial scarcity? I don’t think the collusion argument is simpler at all. That is not to say it doesn’t explain the situation in certain places of course.
It didn't. It was the best place to find the best news stories, blog posts, journal papers and all the rest on any subject that interested.

Someone who you think is smart,informed and honest says "Mary, who I know, is smart and works in this field wrote about this issue here: link" Could take you to fantastic info you don't see otherwise. Obviously critical thinking and possibly verification required.

Now you don't need that because links are all de-amplified and many of the most thoughtful and interesting have left. This is the real shame of it all.

Sleep perfectionists: the exhausting rise of orthosomnia
Yes, and that's so obvious in hindsight, but the monitor I was given at the doctor's office came with a size that was too small for me. It's not something one thinks about until it becomes an issues.
This is the same conclusion I came to when I tried to think about creative solutions to reduce costs.

(Things like factory produced or assembled pieces like modular homes and sandwich panels, on-site earth bricks, more glass to reduce assembly time per square meter, etc.)

But indeed, every saving was counterbalanced by an additional cost added somewhere else.
... or you could have communicated your boundaries & expectations first thing and explicitly instead of doing this weird song and dance and complain on hacker news about it afterwards?
Maybe it shook analytic philosophy, or some subdiscipline thereof, but this really was not registered beyond that within philosophy. Analytic philosophy likes to imagine itself to be philosophy propper, which is nonsense. It's just an over confident, aggressively territorial branch which hogs all the resources, even though the majority of students yearn for the richness and breadth of something more akin to what is today going by the moniker of Post-Kantian Philosophy (formerly Continental or Modern European philosophy).
>So where do you suggest people post that is zero cost and advertisement free?

These days, Reddit seems to be the best option available (unfortunately).

Back during better days, we had lots of independent forums running software like PhpBB, which served this purpose well. For some reason that I don't really understand, back then (when computers were less powerful and efficient than now) that worked well enough, but now everyone's screaming about hosting costs and how expensive it is to run even a single bulletin board on the internet so they turn to Discord when they don't like Reddit. Why hosting costs apparently weren't such a big deal 15-20 years ago with crappier hardware and much less storage space, I honestly don't know.
Two people being treated unequally doesn't tell you who was being treated unfairly.

In her case, if there were indeed comparable cases of people repeatedly refusing to follow medical isolation, it's the others who were unfairly given freedom to continue to infect and kill innocent people.
Agreed. I'm in Belgium. I get really annoyed when applications or websites randomly decide to talk French at me. Or Dutch. Or even bloody German. My browser is set to Accept-Language: en. I wish people would realise that country is not a trustworthy indicator for language.
It is sort of interesting… I think we will all admit that brains are more complex than computer chips. But I still wonder if there’s some general underlying principle that makes brains more reasonable to study in this fashion than computer chips.

For example, they talk about destroying one transistor, observing that the thing can’t play Donkey-Kong anymore, and concluding that that is the DK transistor.

But computer chips are designed to have incredibly long chains of dependencies where each specific transistor does exactly the right thing, every time.

For neurons, it isn’t so specific, right? They all might fire, depending on the timing, and whether or not they are… I don’t know biology, charged or whatever. The whole system works under the assumption that many complements will mis-fire or be duds are any moment.

It seems (to me at least) more reasonable, to come to the conclusion that the DK neuron is really a DK neuron, if removing it causes an un-recoverable DK related failure… because the whole system is based around handling failures! It is somehow special that something can break it.
Yeah those "autopatch" devices were illegal - Ma Bell had rules against connecting any radio to the telephone system. Probably worried about long distance revenue.

The portable radios/cord free telephones back then were a bit of a legal gray-zone.
Incredible work!

Articles about airship dreambuilding have been a mainstay of HN and Reddit since the early days. The tech has always been super inspiring, yet "just around the corner". It would be almost sad to see them actually become a reality.

I played conkers in the 1990s. Everyone did.

Money has nothing to do with it, most of my friends had computers, some had those mini cars to drive — it was a wealthy area.
Kind of funny to see Dave Winer of all people saying he doesn't sweat the technical details here.

So I think this is what's going on. Dave had an idea he called textcasting which he describes on his textcasting.org site, I didn't see anything really new there - syndicating text from your blog to any other app or social media site, seems to be the basic idea.

A protocol called ActivityPub has been around for a while which enables this exact scenario, it's the core of Mastodon etc. and I believe is even supported by Threads.

Dave was pleasantly surprised to discover that this all just works on his Wordpress.com blog. I think the underlying implementation is probably the ActivityPub WordPress plugin which is developed primarily by Matthias Pfefferle - https://wordpress.org/plugins/activitypub/ - you can install and run this plugin on any WordPress site.

I agree with Dave where he says Automattic is sleeping on the potential here, I feel ActivityPub support should have been rolled into WP Core a few years ago. The tech for this federated media is getting pretty good. Mastodon is a thing, it works, adoption is slowly creeping up but still not really huge. WP could roll out ActivityPub support to 800 million websites and then if you so choose your own website then becomes a node in the social network and you don't have to sign up with anybody else to make that happen. This is once-in-a-generation sort of potential perhaps. Pfefferle did the original version of the plugin himself and Automattic hired him a few years ago.

In theory anyone who deals with a lot of WP installs could be putting their own money/time/code into this vision (your personal website is your social media profile, basically), and piggybacking on the established fediverse as modest as it may be, and growing it.

Sure you can, Web Components exist now, and SSR components exist for 25 years across all main languages.
And yet, even a compatible change that doesn't break the ABI, will cause NixOS to rebuild all packages that depend on that library.

That's because while tracking dependencies is a solved problem, tracking whether each dependency correctly follows semver (especially in C land), and which packages and which "minor" patches break or don't break ABI, is not a solved problem.
As is mentioned in the thread, this is a far older "problem" for BSD than this 2011 thread.

What forum? Was it the one where they couldn't figure out how many days there were in a week?
Yes, it's a quintessential childhood game here. You take turns to have a single swing at the opponent's conker, until one of the conkers is smashed off its string.

Cheating is a bit of an art. Baking the chestnuts at the right temperature was one method; a friend of mine filled his conker with glue.

It can be. Repeated in office blood pressure measurements increase sensitivity and lower specificity. It's not as good as 24 hour monitoring but sometimes that's the best you've got.
I had x-rays when I went to see my dentist every few years. For 8ish years they said the small cavity in my tooth was probably fine. I finally had a filling and it turned out to be huge. Fucking useless scam.
I did that race twice, dislocated my left shoulder each time. Scariest thing i've ever done.

People have the misapprehension that you're supposed to catch the cheese. No idea why you'd think it's a good idea to catch a rock hard lump whilst running down a hill so fast that if you tense your legs once to slow down you do 3 cartwheels.

Also just remembered - they have local rugby players to catch those who can't stop running from hitting the fence of the house at the bottom. Saw at least one person they missed who smacked into the fence and got carted off by St John's Ambulance.
But was it a cheeser?
Thank you. Yeah I did know that. For my use case it unfortunately is too clunky and it does not have headphone remote (afaik), but I really considered buying one, just in case it gets added.

In Android, headphone remote works out of the box... that's why I would like to use one. There is the HiBy M300, which in my opinion would be worth having a custom rom :-) Indeed there seems to be efforts.

its not a theory anymore, starting to notice reddit threads entirely ai generated from the content down to the comments
The anonymous authors of this website have instructed people on other websites to come here and downvote any and all comments that speak in favor of RMS:https://mastodon.social/@report_press/113305688857205037

This is telling. They don't want discourse, they want to silence and bully everyone who disagrees with them so only they are allowed to speak.

All they have is anonymous accusations with zero proof, an off-context quote regarding an MIT professor, off-color jokes made 50 years ago and a couple of (retracted) opinions that are no worse than the things being said by prominent philosophers like Michel Foucault and Simone de Beauvoir.

The Qansheng's that I've tested have been fine, first harmonic down 44dB, which is OK for the FCC.

However, if you hack the firmware and transmit outside the bands the radio's RF is designed to transmit on, then you will probably see all sorts of spectral weirdness.
For me, the whole notion of there being a professional conkers league, and its longtime judge, real old chap, using a steel replica to cheat, reads like something Douglas Adams could invent.
It sounds like a fake story. Doesn't pass the smell test for me:

> I just got a call from the owner of a hotel for which we provide hotspot service.... The owner could make no headway by explaining that the besneakered mascot was a cartoon character and was a daemon, not the Devil. And she feared upsetting the guest even more if she said that large portions of the same software are inside every Mac and iPad.

What "owner of a hotel," 1) knows this much about BSD to explain to a random guest and 2) outsources their wifi hotpot service? Then everyone, owner and guest starts calling the service provider about controversy, instead of the guest relocating to other hotel in the area.
