Django's ORM is the worst for object-relational impedance mismatch, though. Django is great if you're happy with thinly-veiled database tables. But it absolutely sucks if what you want is real objects representing business entities.

The simplest example is you can't build a Django object with a collection on it. Take the simplest toy example: a todo list. The natural model is simple: a todo list has a name and a list of items. You can't do that in Django. Instead you have to do exactly what you would do in SQL: two tables with item having a foreign key. There's no way to just construct a list with items in it. You can't test any business rules on the list without creating persistent objects in a db. It's crazy.

So yeah, Django lets you do loads with the relational side, but that's because it's doing a half-arsed job of mapping these to objects.

> I think it's inevitable that governments [..] will abuse the power they have to censor the internet.

Censoring isn't inherently an abuse of power. If nude photos of my 10 year old niece were circulating on the internet, I'd be in favour of censoring those photos too.

Dang censors HN all the time, by removing posts. Is that an abuse of power too?

> While I too want better rules, I also want insurance in place for when governments decide to jump the shark

If your government goes rogue, the insurance you really need is freedom of movement. The fact that people in Russia or Gaza can use bitcoin doesn't make them a great place to be right now.

Free, anonymous speech on the internet would make it easier to subvert and overthrow your government. But I'd much rather a government that doesn't need to be overthrown in the first place.
So... not a big deal? I saw the FD recovered a lot of it.
Somehow blocking one page on Wikipedia feels a lot more painful than all of Twitter being blocked. I know it’s imperfect but I depend on it as a source of fairly reliable knowledge.
Wait, why would that matter at all?
As the article states, nothing has been proven. Didn't read further than that.

Tether is an operation that is a money printing machine on its own. They absolutely don't need to play pump'n'dump tricks to make money. It doesn't make any sense. Pump'n'dump schemes are risky. Tether has many options to make money with way less risk.
It is not this simple.

A vegan diet can provide enough iron, but this is not automatic. One has to actually take care to ensure this.

While some studies like those quoted by you have found vegans who ate enough iron, studies done in other countries have found vegans with iron deficiencies. I have seen at least 2 or 3 such studies, I think one was about vegans in UK.

While there are many vegetables with a relatively high iron content, their iron content is still rather low so you have to eat greater quantities than many people would want to eat. Moreover, many of those vegetables are not cheap and eating large quantities is likely to make the expenses for the daily food greater than when eating food that includes meat.

So yes, vegans can eat enough iron, but they must be aware of the danger of eating too little iron and they must carefully choose their food to avoid this danger. Similar problems are caused by calcium, which exists in vegetables, but also in much smaller amounts than desirable. It is possible to eat a vegan diet with enough iron and calcium, but in many cases it is much less expensive and also easier to eat less food, but complete it with some iron and calcium supplements.
The problem that I see with all these different sampling techniques is the way people usually judge them. There are people who claim they work better, but no rigorous benchmarks to prove it. Lots of "it writes better" or "the prose is fresh", but that is one argument where I think LeCun is 100% right - you can't judge a generalist model by "it works on poetry" or "prose", because that's the definition of bias, and you're shooting yourself in the foot with personal anecdotes.

I'd like to see this applied to coding or math. See the samplers work better in say olympiad math problems, with thorough benchmarks before and after.

Glad this information is finally going mainstream. BlueSky users used to tell everyone it was more decentralized than Mastodon because of this DID thing.
Banks have like 10% or even less the dollars that they are supposed to be holding, but still are doing all fine.

Personally I don't think these tether conspiracy theories were ever true. Maybe they aren't 1:1 backed, but they have always been financially well off enough to keep the company running. And after the interest rates went up, they are probably making a killing. Typical bank has minimal reserves compared to them, and everyone is fine with that.
There are a lot of lessons to learn here

1. The Streisand effect. No-one on HN gave a monkeys about this dodgy news agency till today. Now half of us have read the archive about how they promote propaganda & fake news. Your reputation takes a hit

2. There is no absolute definition of “freedom”. Wikipedia is a fantastic resource for humanity in general and I think should be defended. But as more and more of humanity come to live more and more online, then the legal and cultural norms will shift and shuffle - courts for two hundred years have assumed they can order anyone in their jurisdiction around and often not in their jurisdiction- and that’s kind of the point of courts. So what is freedom? It’s what we the demos and the courts agree …

3. An example is in the order (I mean on the Streisand effect - when the %#}#% hell would I ever read a court order from India ?!) - it says “herein to take down/delete” - this bespeaks a failure to understand the world on the level of “who are the Beatles”. Take down - fine this is part of how we agree norms and limits of courts. Delete. Are you kidding me. Does that imply from everywhere else? Wow.
> they hold enough influence to assert their censorship on all of us, regardless of where we are.

Maybe. I don't see any reason that an Indian court order would be enforced outside of India. I wouldn't be surprised if it was just be a technical limitation. Maybe wikipedia doesn't have an easy way to censor a page in just one jurisdiction and leave it up everywhere else.

In case you watch on an Android phone: Newpipe doesn't even use your account, so the possibility of getting banned for it is much smaller.

You can make playlists in it and track your history (locally), so I don't think it's inferior to the official app. On the contrary.

Also, these new Android phones have the option to modify which app opens youtube links by default, so it's easy to just list Newpipe instead of the official app.

The only downside are downtimes a few times per year when YT changes something and Newpipe devs are making a fix, which never took more than a few days.
What a good time to be alive. Really on the brink of world war 3.
As programs that utilize AI continue to become more prevalent, the concern for their freedom is going to become very important. It might require a new license, like a new version or variant of the GPL. In any case I believe the FSF is going to continue to campaign for the ethical freedom of these new classes of software, even if it requires new insight into what it means for them to be free, as they have done before. The FSF is also a much larger and more vocal organization than OSI is, even without the latter's corporate monarc--I mean, monetizers.
Why do you think category theory makes it easier? That's one thing category theory does not do. How well do you understand the subject?

There is a category theory "school of thought" in many subjects, which believes without solid evidence that category theory must be immensely useful to their subject. But it's often just that: a school of thought. This is the situation of category theory in CS. My concern is that people aren't being honest about this.
It was a joy to follow along this discussion. Thank both of you.
What do you mean "probably not"? A $5 VPS should be able to handle this with ease.
As an example of this sort of thing, Let's Encrypt adds a randomly generated field to its ACME responses, to force clients to properly ignore unrecognised fields: https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory

The contents of this field link here: https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/adding-random-entries-to...

I think Let's Encrypt have the right idea. I honestly don't think that trying to tip-toe around poorly written code is generally the right thing to do; it seems more like the UK Government is prioritising short-term security (trying to block "bad data", whatever that even is) over long-term security (forcing people to write better code).

The cost-savings would actually be significant. Spinning up a sandboxed container/VM or chroot jail a thousand times a month for a user paying a $20/month, when you already as a company have huge GPU bills on the training and inference side and NRE costs, would be gaping.

Nice try, but I will still stay away from Meta as much as I can.
The incentives at work here are that if a CEO of a public company makes false statements of this kind goes to jail.
This is like the CEO of the bank that held Bernie Madoff's money going on record before Madoff's fall saying he holds Bernie's money and it's all there.
If Tether is unbacked Howard Lutnick is going to jail, so it is irrational to believe Tether is unbacked at this point.

Raw materials are very often not the biggest contributor to cost of manufacturing something.

Look at CPUs, for a fabricator the cost of the silicon alone is a constant cost which is dwarfed by capital investment and yield cost.

Then there are other costs like labour, administration and shipping.
And it's also bad for business. I think people on either side of the aisle underestimate just how tilted the other side can get when you go against them

Should all articles about Israel's government call it "Netanyahu-led government"? Should every mention of Israeli settlements be qualified as "supported by Ben-Gvir"?

These are factually correct, but using these as qualifiers is clearly trying to make a point that belongs with journalism or politics, not something that's supposed to be factual and bland, like Wikipedia.

It doesn't sound like there is any ban at all in describing the "government" in Gaza and Hamas' involvement in it.
Yup.

Jurisdiction is like good manners, there is plenty of those, but it is not some kind of fundamental law of nature.
> For San Francisco's housing prices to _appreciate_ more than those in Ohio, today's seller needs to accept a bigger discount (compared to reliably estimated 2030 prices) for San Francisco real estate than for Ohio real estate. Ie SF housing prices need to be comparatively lower.

> Why would the seller be so nice for SF but not for Ohio? Are current SF land owners less interested in money?

The reason is that there are two classes of buyer; investors and occupants. The expectation in SF is that population will increase and the housing supply will not be allowed to increase, so occupants will have to pay more in the future, creating the expectation of future appreciation. Investors could then come in and bid up the current price in anticipation of this, but they'll only do this until the current price rises to match the risk-adjusted returns from competing investments.

The expectation in Ohio is that the population will be approximately flat and new construction will be less inhibited, so expected housing price appreciation there might be less than competing investments. That discourages external investors, but the current-day prices are still held at their current level from demand by local residents because they still need somewhere to live.

> Are you sure there isn't something else going? Perhaps some other weird law, or perhaps some weird tax dodge (or even status game?) that leads some investors to leave properties empty?

These things could be contributing to it. You could also add bureaucratic incompetence to the list, i.e. an institutional bureaucracy gets an order to invest in housing so it buys a bunch of housing and is too insulated from consequences to recognize that it could make more money by renting it out.

But all of these derive from the expectation that housing will appreciate and thereby make a good investment. Otherwise whatever weird law or unusual risk function is causing them not to rent the properties out would be irrelevant because they would lose the incentive to invest in them to begin with.

> Even without tenants, an SF REIT with only empty properties makes more sense for diversification than a single property. After all, tenants and city wide regulations aren't the only thing affecting the prices of a single house.

Sure, but then you have a REIT buying up properties and leaving them empty, which is no better than doing it one at a time, and moreover can likewise be prevented by not inhibiting construction to remove the expectation of market-competitive returns solely from housing appreciation.
The growth is one thing, but maintaining gross margins of 76% in big tech is quite challenging. Ignoring AI bubble risk, in the near term, their main risk is margin compression
I took the same comment on a different way. To me they're referring to the fact that there are many other media outlets. Not only the big ones that do the same. But the smaller, "independent", that deserve more readers.

granted, they may also have interests or agendas. They point is we need decentralization!

Or error correction. Or statistical analysis.

Because it’s about decency. A CEO conducting mass layoffs should be seen as a failure, not as a success worthy of a 63% pay increase. I also wonder how many employees didn’t get a rise this year because "times are tough" or "we just don’t have the cash". This is a slap in the face, if I worked at Microsoft I would quit over this.

You could pay 300 employees with just his pay rise.
> Modern industrial agriculture relies heavily on two crops per year on the same land

Depends on how you define modern industrial agricilture I guess.

From https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_cropping

“However, only 5% of global rainfed cropland is under multiple cropping, while 40% of global irrigated cropland is under multiple cropping.”

Most farmland is rainfed. Only about ~20% is irrigated globally.

That means less than ~10% of all farmland globally is double-cropped.

iFixit is a strange entity. Their website, repair kits, and tutorials are all excellent. The amount of success they've had in championing right to repair initiatives in legal arenas is commendable. But it's not so great that the two are intertwined. It seems inevitable that conflicts of interests will arise between their exclusive deals with manufacturers, business selling repair kits, and increasing influence in the legal system.
I guess there's no regulatory guidance here, on media ownership interfering with media op-ed operations ? Even when Bezos (probably) swore up and down he would never interfere ?
Yes it did, except all of those examples where it convincingly helped were super-advanced, very hard to comprehend, and lacking in non-niche applications to CS or physics.

Read this: https://atproto.com/articles/atproto-for-distsys-engineers

AT Protocol works like the Web, where each user is a website and each application is a search engine. The apps crawl the network of hosts and aggregate activity. We have over 100 outside hosts and at least 3 aggregating apps out there. It’s a different model than ActivityPub, which is more akin to email.

We never said no algorithm. I don’t know where that meme comes from. We have an open system for algorithms, which we and 3p devs can operate. We have a default algorithm for every user called Discover. It was one of our main concerns to have an answer to algorithms in a decentralized network.

For DID PLC, the likely solution is to move the registry into a nonprofit which will maintain it, similar to ICANN. We also support the Web DID method, and if folks like this remain concerned we’re open to other DID methods. It’s important, but roughly similar to DNS or TLS issuers; supporting infra to the application network.
I missed it, apparently. Link?
Unfortunately close to nobody on or has moved to Bluesky cares about it being decentralized, they just want another Twitter that just works.

Most of the people on Bluesky that have moved are artists, academics, writers and creative folks that don't care about tech.

If they did care about decentralization they would be all going to Mastodon right now, but there isn't any traction there in the millions.
I maintain a fairly complex computational project about 10 years now... I do not see these problems and I would not want to do this in Rust (after studying it for a while). Mostly I like me extremely short compile times. The huge amount of dependencies the cargo-style of development tends to pull in and the instability of Rust would also still worry me a lot.
I'm not really sure what the benefit of BS over Mastodon is anyway. Everyone interesting is on Mastodon

McDs are one of the worse franchises to own. Very tightly controlled with minuscule profit margins

I'm sure a lot of older franchisees want nothing but sell their businesses, especially in areas with lowering traffic
