Bluesky is more compelling because of ATProto. The way they architected it means users have choice about what app they use, where they host their data, what algo feeds the sub to, and what moderation services they use. Each can be chosen independently and composed to form your own personal flavor of the social media fabric.

Beyond the Twitter like Bluesky, anyone can develop any social application on the same protocol and infrastructure. It is easy to define custom record types to build other social applications.

The best part is that you, as a user, have a single sqlite database hosting your data for all the apps on ATProto, making it a simple matter to move data hosts or switch your primary application without losing your following.

Fundamentally, the protocol means we can have real competition in the social media space.

The whole comment was about how hard it is to wrangle 10+ people. How is that digital, or not real life? It's literally a group of people spending time together face to face.
Some parts of it were though.
This really seems like exaggeration. Two hours? How many people are we talking about here?

Also, nothing you've mentioned really solves your issues. Even with DoorDash, you'll need to pick a restaurant. And DoorDash doesn't solve the problem of someone changing their mind as they are ordering.

And then you still have to wait for the food to be prepared and delivered. And there's no guarantee on when it will arrive. So it winds up being a wash.

Also, there's a reason places that don't do delivery don't do it. The cost doesn't justify it. Then there's the whole "meet me where I am" attitude. They're the ones with the service you want. You have some obligation to meet them yourself.

And if you don't want to, that's fine. We used to manage all of this well enough before
Yet another company propped up by private equity. Wonder Group raised $700M during a funding round in March 2024, with a total of $1.5B raised overall [1]

How long until it succumbs to the same fate as other PE funded companies (Foxtrot)? Then the people left holding the bag are the vendors that won’t get paid. Employees don’t get paid. Doors locked up one day with no reason.

Love how it has all of these celebrity endorsements as well to keep the facade going.

At the end of the day, it’s a glorified ghost kitchen.

Is your assertion that no reporters disliked Alito enough—and/or, that none were career-advancement-motivated enough—to bother reporting on this in 2008, and that's why it was only reported recently?

It seems to me the more likely explanation is that nobody who might be inclined to report on it, knew about it then.

P.S. pasting text into an ascii text editor is a great way to unmask all the obfuscation and shenanigans in Unicode. Things like backwards running text, multiple code points with identical glyphs, 0-width spaces, etc.
The systemctl start/stop/status is no problem and better than init scripts (everything is better than init scripts). The issues stem from the complexity of the system and the amount that each module wants you to use it with other modules.

A simple version of the same is runit. Side by side, you can see the complexity differs by orders of magnitude.
The education system and the media was traditionally tightly controlled or monopolized by a handful of interests. With few players on the field they could weave together a more-or-less coherent story. But was that actually the truth? We only know that the stuff that was debunked was false.

As for "information literacy", it's an ideal to strive for, but impossible in practice. It's simply not possible for everyone to be literate at everything. For the topics a person is not familiar with, they need to trust a source at some point.

A bit of knowledge is often a hindrance than helpful. With modern tools at hand and sufficient motivation, one with an agenda can fool anyone except the best experts.

TBH I think "objective truth" is going down the drains and it's not coming back. The version of truth you believe in is actually real, other people will vehemently disagree, and there will be no mechanism to objectively decide who is right. It might sound pessimistic, but this kind of "diversity" in subjective beliefs can be very useful for other reasons (which is mostly off-topic).

As someone New Orleans-adjacent, I totally support this and think timber use would be even better if we perfected techniques for strengthening wood through high pressure at construction scale.

I for one would love to see wooden skyscrapers with the aesthetic of the movie Her that are as strong as their concrete-and-steel equivalents.
Not substantially. The fallout produced would obviously be substantially larger than any one nuclear explosion, but it's still a small amount on a planetary scale. If you naively scaled up the contamination area of the castle bravo test from 15 Mt to 15 Gt, it would be 3% of earth's surface area. Further, the range that fallout can travel is limited by the half lives of the particles, not the size of the explosions, so it does not scale like this.

We also have experience with large amounts of fallout released into the atmosphere. For comparison, in a 12 month period from 1961 to 1962 there were 340 Megatons worth of nukes detonated in atmosphere. While I would recommend against detonating a few times that much all at once, it's a few percent increase in global cancer rates scenario, not a nuclear hellscape scenario.

Custom labellers and moderation choice is a good design choice, beyond what blocking features Bluesky provides in their app.

Note that because the protocol and data are open, blocking is mainly an app view thing (that should be respected by other app views).
That's not correct. If pressure was all that mattered, we'd just run compressors on nitrogen (or formation gas). CO2 has properties that make it especially favorable for flooding.

This is nice, but it's not at all how students use ChatGPT (anecdotal based on my kid and her friends who are at the uni right now).

The way they actually use is to get ChatGPT to generate ALL their homework and submit that. And sometimes take home exams too. And the weird thing is that some professors are perfectly cool with it.

I am starting to question whether the cost of going to a place of higher learning is worth it.

Again, we need actual solutions not wishful thinking.

Delivery should be done as a coop between local businesses. Always should have been that way.
Has to be both. A random gas might interact with the oil being pumped. Why don't they just use compressed air? There must be a reason why CO2 is desirable for that application.
Not when the domestic companies which manufacture the same product wither as a result. Don't get me wrong, I don't believe in defensive national economic policy as a blanket protection we should do to protect all industries, but in special circumstances such as this one where losing all of our electric vehicle production capability and specialization is at play, I think it certainly is in our strategic interest to avoid that from happening.

Hi, I'm Khalid Khair, a senior software engineer with 7 years of experience. I've worked for top-tier clients including Porsche, Openreach (BT), Riot Games and more.

I'm currently based in the GMT+1 timezone and I'm looking for a fully remote position. I have a strong background in both backend and frontend technologies including AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, Node.js, Go, Python, React, and more. I'm excited to bring my skills and experience to a new challenge and help build great products.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Sure if your goal is to generate a race of Eloi who live exclusively as passive consumers, casually disregarding anything a machine can hide from their feeble minds.
This is an easy example because one is a press release. It should be well known to everyone that press releases are advertising. They don't even claim to be factual or trustworthy. It's marketing. They're telling you outright that it's company propaganda. You can trust it if you want to, but you can't claim you were fooled. Further investigation is unnecessary. There's nothing to investigate since they've already told you up front it's a press release. The education system's responsibility is to let kids know what a press release is, and how it's different from journalism.

Not that all journalism is automatically trustworthy, no. With journalism you also have to take into account track record, and reputation, and so on.

If a young person doesn't know what Reuters is, they can use Wikipedia to find out what kind of entity Reuters is, their history, their reputation, etc.. That's how the responsibility of education is involved.
This is the first time I came across this somewhere else other than this one person I know that has this. Fascinating.
Hey HN,
I built AloAngels from my college dorm to solve a problem I kept seeing: founders and people with just a big idea struggle to connect with the right investors. So I created an AI-powered platform that matches early-stage startups (and even ideas!) with investors based on personalized metrics.

The journey’s been amazing so far—through AloAngels, I was able to connect with Jesse Cassuto, an angel investor from New York, who’s now advising me. His experience in early-stage funding has been a game-changer, and having him on board has pushed AloAngels to the next level.

Here’s what AloAngels offers:

Smart matching – Uses 15+ metrics, like industry focus and investment history, to connect founders with ideal investors.

It Boosts funding chances – With an Investment Likelihood Score that shows potential fit. Check it out!
There is a retention policy, so the raw events aren't kept very long. The rollups probably compress really well in their time series database, which I'm guessing also has a retention policy.

If you have high cardinality metrics, it can still be really painful, although I think you will feel the pain initially and it won't take years. Usually these systems have a way to inspect what metrics or counters are using the most resources and then they can be reduced or purged from time to time.
I wish facebook did this with the Portals. They are effectively useless for most of what they were intended to be used for and facebook continues to refuse to let them be opened.
I did a few things in Obj-C and I only regretted the memory handling stuff. I really liked the performance, reflexibility capabilities (reverse engineering classes is almost trivial) and smalltalk like style. I will not choose it for any project but it gives me the taste that there were more options around C/C++
I disagree. I see an LLM as less calculator and more as cheating. I think there's a lot of value in creating something entirely yourself without having an LLM spit out a mean solution for you to start from.

LLMs have their place and maybe even somewhere in schools but the more you automate the hard parts of tasks, the less people value the struggle of actually learning something.

This has put their iOS app [0] in the top position under free apps, [1] in the USA and UK App Stores. The app is MIT licensed open source.

Others and myself are wondering, is their #1 position in the iOS free app category a first for an open source app? (please note that this is all apps, not just social media)

If they're not using fzf, ctags or LSP at all, sure. But find and grep absolutely have their place, and I tend to use them even when using IntelliJ/VSCode.

The friend's kid isn't a Montessori kid

He just likes programming. He likes building stuff. One of his best friends is a kid his age who lives across the country. They just like being productive.

At the end of my previous post, I was trying to dispel this idea that kids under ten are incapable of doing things independently. That they're incapable of engaging in things like an adult. If a 3 year old can grocery shop and make a cake, an 8 year old can watch a game dev talk. Can be obsessed with game engines. Can learn to juggle.

My niece wrote a blog post years ago when she was under ten, and the comments she got were "your parents must have written this for you, you aren't capable of having done this" which is absurd. Don't act like kids are incapable just because the ones you see are incapable.
Agree. I'd say openid connect looks closer to SAML in terms of authenticating users and bootstrapping a "sessions" if you will. OAuth2 in my mind is one potential approach to maintaining a session, post initial authentication, used for ongoing authentication on a per-request basis. It also has information about which client the session is associated with to allow for per-client authorization decisions to be done via the authorization mechanisms you mentioned above.

Basically both are concerned with different parts of Authentication, initial vs on-going (though 2 legged Oauth2 is also an initial authentication step).

The line between authentication and authorization can get quite fine, especially if the authorization policy is as simple as "this set of services can talk to me" if you use mTLS and a fixed set of trusted services in a trust-store.

Exactly. And getting back to the original poster's comment "the CO2 starts underground and ends up underground"... that assumes there are no leaks anywhere in the process.
Interesting, I guess that part was missed on me since I only really ever used it for iPhone apps and never really had a need to use C directly.

Also, you're 100% right. The square brackets are what immediately repulsed me and continued to befuddle me even after years of experience with it. Also, everything just feels "backwards" to me if that makes any sense. Coming from Java/C#/JavaScript everything just seemed unintuitive to me at all times. Also, I think this was heavily compounded by using xCode which (at the time) was incredibly laggy. So, I'd mess up the Obj-C syntax and the IDE wouldn't tell me for what felt like forever. Often I'd make a change and hit "play" before the syntax highlighting caught up and that always felt infuriating.

I last used xCode about 4 years ago and it was still an issue then (even with swift).
That's good for you. I prefer putting together my order with the menu on my phone, adding notes and having a moment to think about those notes, adding delivery instructions, tipping with the same credit card I pay with, tracking my order, having an order history I can view, and not bothering people who are busy running a restaurant and don't need to be talking to me on the phone since this has all been automated for a couple decades. And to be frank, many restaurant workers don't have the best English skills and may be in a loud environment, making phone calls more difficult.
It's not a "mental math trick", it's a straightforward calculation you should be able to do in your head.

In Germany the subject is called "Erdkunde" which would translate to geology. And this term is, I assume, more appropriate as it isn't just about what is where but also about geological history and science and how volcanoes work and how to read maps and such.
99% of people are not going to genuinely do their own research. Their “own research” usually consists of the last thing they heard about it from some influencer. In this paradigm it’s important to be able to have trustworthy information providers and for people to be educated on who those are.
> LLMs are awesome but they will only represent what they're trained on and what they're trained on only represents what's allowed to be in the mainstream discourse.

I don't think this is a description of LLM censorship though, especially in light of the fact that many LLMs are fine-tuned for the explicit purpose of censoring responses otherwise generatable by the model, Contrasting uncensored models with censored ones yields objectively uncensored results.
Stuff like this is sincere but hopelessly naive. It's kind of sad that the people who invented all this stuff really loved school, and now the most disruptive part of their technology so far has been ruining school.
It's not a "trick".

And yes, it's incredibly useful in enabling recognizing when your calculator gives a bogus result because you made a keyboarding error. When you've got zero feel for numbers, you're going to make bad engineering decisions. You'll also get screwed by car dealers every time, and contractors. You won't know how far you can go with the gas in your tank.

It goes on and on.

Calculators are great for getting an exact final answer. But you'd better already know approximately what the answer should be.
Well not really, since it was on the 4th stage.
There are a bunch of "restaurants" in our town that are just different menus serviced at the same ghost/cloud/dark kitchen. The quality is generally not good. I wonder about the quality at Wonder -- the broader the menu, the harder it is for the preparers to get good at it.
I'd agree with this. Kagan is the best overall, Roberts is up there when he wants to be and isn't forcing it, and yes Thomas writes fairly well but what he writes is abysmal.

Alito is hands down the worst writer and one of the worst to ever sit on the court. He's not the brightest but thinks he's a savant and writes with a smugness and conceit that drips off the page on top of being as disingenuous as they come. Reading anything he writes is torture.
You won't be sorry you invested the time on this.
But that's exactly what I would want in the first place. Take my square and make it look like a circle (not a square with rounded corners).
