Thank you for your post. I've been working on a similar concept but for super close-knit groups, think families, college friends, etc. (less than 10 people/group). I was going to incorporate some mechanisms to encourage posting since if no one posts, it'll die.

I felt like this is a problem I have. I want to hear about my friends’ lives, but no one posts on Facebook/Instagram anymore. And my feed is now constantly influencers.

However, after hearing all these comments/experiences, I will be pivoting! Thanks you for your post and saving me a headache.
> Pack up and leave, take refuge in other countries? Just give up and stay under the Russian boot, obey when taken to fight in meat waves against their neighbors?

Like a great, great many things, possibly most things, these options beat a hot war at your home by a wide margin. So, yes? Comparisons to WWII only hold if you honestly believe that this is a full-on war of extermination, but if you believe that, the world should have sent troops ages ago. It isn’t and any horrors of war we see now are just standard fare for war anywhere ever and wouldn’t have happened if Ukraine had forfeited immediately. Instead they’re destroying their country and their people to save the intellectual constructs of their borders and administration. The biosphere would prefer that trade-off reversed.

> obey when taken to fight in meat waves against their neighbors?

Isn’t this what they’re doing right now?
Show HN: Vanity.services – sell email addresses from your domains
Hey HN!

I'm a freelancer and having a non-gmail address helped me a lot.

But cool domains are expensive, and DNS setup is annoying to non-tech people.

I thought what if one person buys dev.com and sells a bunch of you@dev.com email addresses? I think this can work, so I built it! Bought some domains too, not dev.com yet, but hopefully someday. :)

Currently, I have a few domains from which you can buy addresses. I would like to democratize this and build it into a service where anyone can offer their domain to be used as an email address provider. I think domain parking is a wasteful enterprise, like having a bunch of nice buildings and never using them. Let's use them!

What do you think?
The sending is fine; cairo just won't create these bitmaps fast enough.
XMPP and specifically ejabberd are what made WhatsApp possible to build with ~50 people at absolutely massive scale (~400M MAU @ 2014 acquisition).
> I suppose he could simply be saying that with his improvements, things would be stabilised and the stakes wouldn't be so high for the next election.

By stabilized we mean it is not possible to ensure rights for women through election process? Because that is what "good government" per Chrisitians is. How is that not autocracy? Christians do not want improvements as in "better democracy". They want improvements as in "closer to theocracy".
> Building codes in the US prevent disasters like the one that happened at Grenfell Towers in the UK

US building codes are pretty good and well enforced, just as they are in the UK ... but even with that, you have a Surfside condominium collapse - so not perfect.
QQRIQ is a phonetic abbreviation of "kukuriku", which is the sound of the rooster in Hungarian and in several other languages (Polish "kukuryku", Hebrew " קוקוריקו" etc.). Makes wonder what the process for choosing the passwords was.
I don’t know why people keep trying to put “privacy first” and “social network” in the same sentence, it’s clear by now they are antithetical.

> to that is the insitutional belief that China is The Enemy [™]

The PRC is the biggest threat to the United States and does not speak in favorable terms about the US. Do you have any reason to think they aren't the biggest enemy?
> Yes. It shows how easily an LLM can misinterpret subtlety and ambiguity in human language.

Without parentheses or context, -42 is a perfectly reasonable answer to "one plus one times forty five minus eighty eight", to the extent that it's probably what I'd go with if asked it on a quiz.

I imagine when you read it in you're head you're putting emphasis/pauses in places that lean towards the `((1+1) * 45) - 88` interpretation, but neither I nor the LLM have that information.

If asked, GPT-4 can give reasonable responses to this issue: https://i.imgur.com/ptMB7Ci.png
That isn't actually an example of the Gell-Mann Amnesia, as he described, but just an example of the cherry picking of data and selective interpretation. The Gell-Mann Amnesia, as he described it, refers to how people will not read a source with skepticism when they are not familiar with it's subject matter, even when they have read an inaccurate article from the same source about subject matter that they are familiar with enough to spot the inaccuracies.
You do have the right for better or worse.
Neural networks have been used in industrial process control for many years. This is just another industrial control problem, perhaps a difficult one.
People have dealt with the second one in sibling comments but I somewhat doubt the first one is true when you take into account sidechannel attacks on the encoding and decoding part of the transmission.

Yes I get through quantum magic you can theoretically tell if your secret has been intercepted in the quantum state because it would cause a wave form collapse but the wave form wouldn't collapse if they were listening in to your quantum computer squeaking and buzzing and decoding those noises or timings or reading its heat signature etc, or getting your operator drunk and finding out their dog's name or partner's birthday and using it as their password, or kidnapping them and hitting them with things until they voluntarily give you their password etc. All those types of attacks would still work and still be just as undetectable as they are in classical encryption. ie all the most effective forms of attack are still just as effective in a quantum case.

I think it's a very interesting area of research but this whole idea of uncrackable codes is a stretch.
....and then the AI will be good enough to do your job for you.
I noticed that too. It also doesn't seem to always know how to map (or remove) certain things, like the hair bun on the input image, to the generated avatars once you get outside of the facial region.
Glibc definitely does this transparent mapping as well. Calling
int fd = open(<path>, O_RDONLY)
yields
openat(AT_FDCWD, <path>, O_RDONLY)
when running through strace.
It can be, but the idea of having “code experts” (or people with the most battle scars with this chunk of code) can absolutely be helpful, especially if the team is sufficiently large (and people aren’t afraid to talk to other people for guidance).
Believe it or not, a well equipped military is in fact a bipartisan issue.
And they added image gen to paint.

What is the importance of needing to frame Python as tiny here? The reminder that programming languages are acceptable for small throwaway scripts is appreciated
Brilliant analogy.

And we can imagine that, in a sci-fi world where some super-being could act on a scale that would allow it to perturb the world in a fashion amenable to causing hurricanes, the hurricane model could be substantially augmented, for the same reason motor babbling in an infant leads to fluid motion as a child.

What has been a revelation to me is how, even peering through this dark glass, titanic amounts of data allow quite useful world models to emerge, even if they're super limited -- a type of "bitter lesson" that suggests we're only at the beginning of what's possible.

I expect robotics + LLM to drive the next big breakthroughs, perhaps w/ virtual worlds [1] as an intermediate step.

No this is actually using neural nets to predict and control plasma boundary disruptions, which is an intractible problem to solve numerically.

I've been studying plasma physics and from what I understand perfect control isn't necessary as long as you can control it long enough to get useful power. If the plasma dissipates you just restart. But ideally it's controlled enough that while it is in there, it's producing net energy
Is this going to be like the DeviceTree standard? The kernels devs invent it, it gets an official specification/standard, but the kernel itself doesn't conform to that specification?

Ha, I agree that used to be true.
As a solo act, I also agree. There's 24 hours in the day and to do the metadata correctly for the releases themselves _just to send to the distributor_ takes like 1-2 hours. Then I need to make content, when I just wanted to make music, then upload the same release to Bandcamp. It's untenable
I’m so confused… they were sending uncompressed video to an AWS server?

If so, they deserve a $1M bill.
SpaceX apparently doesn't like to give definitive numbers (perhaps there are too many configurable tradeoffs and/or dynamic adjustments to variable environmental conditions for that to make sense), but the downlink throughput of a Starlink V1 satellite is reportedly about 20 Gbps over an area of several square miles. Putting that on a single fiber wavelength is mature enough to be firmly in SOHO/homelab territory these days (e.g. QNAP and Mikrotik both have 25Gbps switches that are about $1000). It looks like commodity CWDM mux/demux boxes can cram 16 of those into a single fiber. It's safe to assume that the big guys like Comcast and CenturyLink/Lumen can get equipment capable of far more than that.
> Zuckerberg, Thiel (OK, he was always mask-off), Pichai, Elon (Ok, he's been awful for years)

> People who were attracted to tech were often idealistic.

It's worth noting that the founders you felt most worthy of calling out are specifically ones whose "idealism" was always about commercial domination, deal-making, and personal financial largess. These weren't aesthetes like Jobs or impassioned programmers like Gates, who found themselves caught up in a ethically challenging world of finance and business. The ones you're calling out were all opportunists prowling for whatever opportunity might ratchet them to greater personal success. And they're doing exactly that again now.

There are no surprises here. Or at least there shouldn't be.
Odds are those connections weren't sanctioned by the building management and were the result of lax enforcement. There are actually plenty of smaller apartment buildings in the US where tenants could get away with this as long as they didn't damage the building or cause frustration for other tenants.
I think there are already product placement laws so we should be warned at least

Multicellularity seems to be the theme of holozoa, for sure, but the article seems to think that this specific cell division pattern is homologous(?) with animals, and that seems unlikely to me, because it should also show up in choanoflagellates and everywhere else if so. (Ed: I think we're in violent agreement on this point)

(That bit about the opisthokont split with fungus is fascinating, thanks.)
I don't see how this is new, sadly. Every administration has been doing this — increasingly — since, well, at least since NSA started snooping. They couldn't and don't do this alone. They always work with tech companies. Snowden likely only knew about the top of the iceberg.

"China is The Enemy" is also old as dirt. The US need something to scare it citizens with. Russia, China, Muslims, communists, homosexuals...

This is part of the core beliefs of every US adminitration. It will not change unless something wild happens. 3rd party in power? US being overtaken by most of the world? Invasion from Mars that forces it through....

> The thing that is a _feature_ of a cryptocurrency is why people don't use it.

People do, in fact, use them. Is it a popular payment method in western countries? No, but do some people use it? Yes, they do.

For privileged people, decentralization is usually a serious flaw. For others, it's an extremely important characteristic that lets them transact at all. The world isn't black and white, and people have use cases that are different from yours.

You're being self-centered, and that's okay, but perhaps you should factor it into your mental model before making sweeping statements in front of a global audience.

> You know what else solves that? Cash and Western Union. And it has done for a long, long time.

Not nearly as well, or there wouldn't be anyone using cryptocurrencies for that purpose.

You could make identical boring, bad-faith arguments about AI products. I think 99.99% of all "AI" products available today are completely useless - to me - but I don't go around proclaiming that all of AI is completely useless, and that all of its problem areas are better solved by statistics and "if" statements.

Don't mistake your own privilege, ignorance, and lack of imagination with the lack of real-world applications.

It wasn't a financial cost, but the biggest single performance improvement I've seen firsthand came from optimizing a SQL query. One of our Professional Services people had written a query that did repeated self-joins on a fairly large table, which took ~15 minutes to run. A DBA-turned-dev on our team rewrote it using MSSQL's PIVOT operator, and the query started executing in less than a second.

It doesn't. It just does not force everyone to rush both clients and services to prod without having a fallback plan. Also dubbed as competent engineering.

Yes. That's what you want, isn't it? Otherwise as a service maintainer you'd be blocked for no reason at all.

And let's not even touch the topic of rolling back changes.

There is no way around it. Once you start to think about any of the rationale behind this monorepo nonsense, you soon realize it's a huge mess: lots of easily avoidable problems created by yourself for yourself, that otherwise would be easy to avoid.

Not so recently then.
>Nuclear power plants are largely considered as one of the most reliable sources of energy. Inside the plants, reactors use fission to heat water into steam, which is then used to spin turbines and produce carbon-free electricity. However, nuclear fission produces nuclear waste, which requires great amounts of regulation for safe storage and disposal.

This is an odd angle to highlight. The risk of long-lived nuclear waste is extremely overblown, and the sheer volume of it that we produce (or even would produce, in the worst case of a once-through fuel cycle and nuclear power providing 100% of our energy needs for a century) pales in comparison to the amount of toxic and radioactive fly ash that even a single coal plant produces in a decade.

The real problems with nuclear fission power are threefold, in my opinion:

1. It is too expensive in terms of capital costs. Fusion will likely not help with this, but building a lot of identical large fission plants would probably help with economies of scale. Solar plus batteries might still end up being cheaper though.

2. Accidents have the potential to be catastrophic. Think Fukushima or Chernobyl, where entire towns have to be abandoned due to contamination. Fusion would help here, I believe.

3. There is a major proliferation concern. A civilian nuclear power program, especially one with breeder reactors, is not very far away from producing a fission bomb, and the short-lived high-activity nuclear wastes could be stolen and misused to make a dirty bomb. Fusion is perhaps better in this way, though an operating fusion reactor would be a very powerful neutron source of its own.
You are missing a critical point. Before this, there was likely no proof that people could share or rely on to question if _any_ ghost could be an illusion.

This is very important to future critical thinking because this gave people evidence to back up being skeptical for future illusions that they can't immediately explain.

With the profits they are getting now I would have loved Nvidia to diversify into other market with their GPU. Server CPU would be a great opportunity.
They also have a state owned bank. ND once had a very strong "Democratic Farmer Labor party". Not to get into R vs D here, as the parties have flip flopped a lot since then & the Limbaugh movement changed the state from a very purple state (all Congress members were D in the 80s-90s). The only way you win in the state now is with a R next to your name, so the Rs are having an identity crisis.

The real good call out is the coop attitude that has been very strong in ND for decades. Sadly I have seen some of those coops start to spend a lot of money on creating talk shows with extreme political personalities who have little actual knowledge on things.

I would love to see the state go back to being more neighborly & community building. Either way the history of the coop attitude is a great one for building strong communities. Every community should take notice of this.

For rural communities, especially in the early 90s & 00s, having internet access was equivalent to access to an elite private school.

DO's K8S is more equivalent to AWS's EKS offering, so of course ECS which abstracts away pretty much all of the other parts of K8s is going to require less maintenance. It's sort of a false equivalence to say ECS == that solution.

On EKS, you need to do the same version updates with the same amount of terror.

You do pay the extra for the further management to just run containers somewhere!

First of all, what makes you think he doesn't hate his wife? He has treated every woman in his life, including Melania, like trash.

But you're right, even in that speech, he is pretty explicit about which kinds of immigrants he doesn't like; the ones from south of the border. He doesn't seem to have a problem with white immigrants. Thing is, I think it's true that racism isn't close to being the thing driving the political realignment since he came on the scene, but that doesn't mean it's false that he's racist. Both things can be true.
