I think the Bluesky crowd will probably chill out with time, but right now if you don’t readily use the block feature there you’re going to have your feed and notifications peppered with the same trolls that are currently making X inhospitable. The majority of users getting blocked aren’t interested in actual discourse, they’re just there to get a rise out of people.

It’s difficult to envision any social network staying healthy in the long term without either decent moderation or robust tools to help users manage harassment and the like. There’s just too many bad actors who will take advantage of low-control environments.
This is neat! It would be nice to have a zoom to fit on the graph side
Threads is a good product. My twitter feed is dumpster fire of right wing politics and rage baity post. Threads has been much more balance. Open the app and have a good time.

People have been trying to make Bluesky happen for years. It won't. I believe moderation is fundamental to any social network, otherwise the bad actors always take over. Meta has been content moderation for years and understands the nuances.

People seek "Political discourse", but they will quickly realize our politics are too much of shit-show to have any kind of intellectual conversation. The rage bait and culture wars have taken over. Important discussions of policy, small vs big govt, taxes have taken the backseat. Our "politics" are no longer politics, and won't be for at least the next 4-8 years.
Bluesky's custom labels, algorithm choice, client choice, and starter packs seem like legitimately cool features.
Intel was famously not complacent. Perhaps a long lapse starting a decade ago. But even then “complacence” was not the problem. Ditto for Boeing. Managerial focus on just milking the cow has been the fundamental problem: and they milked frantically—not complacently.

it’s wild that we have all this data but we don’t really know what any of this stuff actually is (celestial bodies overall not just the sun) only what radiations they give off that we can read and recognize, for all we know stars are the outer shell of a multidimensional being and the heat is just an effect of us not being able to ascend dimensionally in order to pass into it because it’s “above” spacetime and attempting to pass through means transcending into an eternal realm which we of course would be vaporized because our matter is in this dimension, or it could be (insert anything, we may never know!)

To find your private network when you're away and plugged into a public one and the former's IP may have changed. I gather the OP is talking about discovering their public-facing address, not doling out IP's on their internal VPN.

Don't ask next "Why do you need to know your home IP address?"
Hard agree -- this one is especially bad because it's gendered. We'll see what happens, but I'd put my money on "post" winning out. There's some people on Bluesky who feel absurdly strong about this because of the history (the CEO asked them not to use it so they used it more often as a joke), but they're simply outnumbered already. Such is exponential growth...

People have ego's. Instead of saying they are wrong, adopt their perspective and help them discover your perspective. They may like your perspective and adopt it as their own reasoned opinion, lead them to it, and then they may adopt it and own it. Sometimes you'll find they have unstated reasons for choices, find workarounds for them. This is a basic human skill everyone should understand.

Might be worth explicitly stating popular/known datapoints you were unable to include or evaluate yet.

For example, the fastest inference provider by multiples as of this writing, Cerebras, is missing. It's popular, so I'm surprised it was missed: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42178761 and makes me wonder if other evaluations are missing.

The authors specifically said that the elementary schools sampled at Time 1 fed into the high school at Time 2, but they didn't say that the data was paired ie: the set of students sampled at Time 1 = the set of students sampled at Time 2.

And that is fine. But then the Guardian should make sure to ask why the researchers think their research will illuminate anything about the topic of direct cash transfers.

The immediate questions which pops to my mind: “if you just give cash to the homeless what percentage will spend it on drugs/alcohol to the detriment of their wellbeing?” and “if you give cash to the homeless won’t they be robbed / exploited by organised crime to extract those funds?”

This research does not appear to be able to answer either of these questions. So what questions do the researchers hope to answer? Would have been nice if The Guardian asked them
that for us.

Yup, I like this approach a lot. With cloud providers considering VMs durable these days (they get new hardware for your VM if the hardware it's on dies, without dropping any TCP connections), I think a 1 node approach is enough for small things. You can get like 192 vCPUs per node. This is enough for a lot of small companies.

I occasionally try non-k8s approaches to see what I'm missing. I have a small ARM machine that runs Home Assistant and some other stuff. My first instinct was to run k8s (probably kind honestly), but didn't really want to write a bunch of manifests and let myself scope creep to running ArgoCD. I decided on `podman generate systemd` instead (with nightly re-pulls of the "latest" tag; I live and die by the bleeding edge). This was OK, until I added zwavejs, and now the versions sometimes get out of sync, which I notice by a certain light switch not working anymore. What I should have done instead was have some sort of git repository where I have the versions of these two things, and to update them atomically both at the exact same time. Oh wow, I really did need ArgoCD and Kubernetes ;)

I get by with podman by angrily ssh-ing in in my winter jacket when I'm trying to leave my house but can't turn the lights off. Maybe this can be blamed on auto-updates, but frankly anything exposed to a network that is out of date is also a risk, so, I don't think you can ever really win.

Startup equity should be assumed to have a value of 0, which statistically it does. I've never seen one be competitive on actual hard currency compensation - even the hot ones. And that's before valuing your time per hour worked.

I'd love to see examples of Amazon trying to enforce noncompetes at levels lower than VP, because I've never seen it. Folks move to direct competitors all the time - AWS to Azure or Oracle, etc.
"Rational Loss Aversion" -- used in the headline, but not, as far as I can tell, in the body -- has the sound of a technical term, perhaps from economics. Is it?
> It's not just that X/Twitter shows you politics whether you want it or not

But this is not true. I always use my "following" feed and not my "for you" feed. Other than sponsored ads the only thing I see are posts from people I follow. I don't understand why people persist with the narrative that Twitter forces people into "the algorithm".

I've been splitting time between Twitter & Bluesky for the last year or so. The only real difference i notice is the set of people I follow as until recently most of my Twitter follows weren't on Bluesky
They aren't trying to compete with cell towers. SpaceX is partnered with traditional carriers in each country where LTE service will be available and the Starlink service is intended to supplement those services by providing service where existing cell towers can't.
Your external IP is dynamic because the ISP can rotate it. You want to reach your home's external IP to VPN in. One common way is to create a public DNS record that's dynamically updated (by a cronjob or whatever) to always contain whatever IP your ISP last handed you.
I’d add that the answer was clearly over the top, thus sarcastic, thus he is agreement with his soldiers.
> Wasn't the context that people were concerned about terrorist attacks with bombs in high-impact locations, against concentrations of people and key civil infrastructure?

Yes, people were paranoid about terrorism in 2007.

>And someone decided to be edgy, and intentionally use this context, by placing something that could be mistaken for a bomb made by a crazy person, exactly in those locations? (Or even do those as decoys, to support a separate attack.)

No. There’s no evidence of this.

> Of course the early emergency responses were life-critical urgent, with no one having complete information.

Only in Boston. The signs were also placed in LA and Portland without incident.

> And once they did have information, you can see how a company abusing fresh terrorism concerns like that, with what was arguably a hoax attack, for commercial promotion purposes, would still have a lot of explaining to do.

There’s no evidence these were intended to be perceived as a threat. You have imagined this.

> Random kids huffing "Chill out, it's just a prank" doesn't make it all OK.

You say “random kids”. I say “rational adults”.

> And all the dissing of emergency responders, who reasonably had to act as if this might be another terrorist attack, didn't seem very fair, nor thought-out.

Emergency responders have a responsibility to handle reality appropriately. Boston’s response was inappropriate. Being scared doesn’t justify overreaction.

> It might help to look at another Boston terrorism incident, the Boston Marathon bombing. Bombs went off, no one knew the extent of the attack, and, while the crowd was rightly trying to run away from the danger, emergency responders were running towards the explosions, to help protect people.

It doesn’t help to make this comparison. One is a benign marketing campaign and the other was a terrorist attack.

> Why mock that? We need that.

The ends don’t justify the means. First responders have a duty to protect the public which they failed by creating the Mooninite Panic.

First responders are not above criticism.
> I'm curious if anyone can think of any other non-alphabetic characters used in legal names around the world, in other scripts?

> What's more? Have in mind that an airplane is not a restaurant. It should not even serve food. Although the food industry wants people to believe we need to eat every 3 hours, that's very far from being true.

Have you traveled with friends or a family before? If you go on a 18-hour cross-ocean flight and forgo in-flight meals because eating is food industry propaganda, then you're going to have a lot of hungry/angry travel companions.
I also only use the following feed, but a fairly recent change to the video player means it now immediately cuts to the next video in the auto-play queue (or an ad) when it finishes, and that's always algorithmically driven regardless of which feed you were using.

Nah, most of that list is basically free for any company that uses an amazon loadbalancer and an autoscale group. In terms of likeliness of incidents, time, and cost, those will each be an order of magnitude higher with a team of kubernetes engineers than less complex setup.
I think it is different than other commodities since it is very expensive to store electricity. A diesel powered generator and tank full of diesel is probably the best option.
I've tried both Threads and Bluesky and I like Bluesky much better, I mean both UI & UX.
One issue I have with Threads is that I stumble upon many users that came from Instagram automatically that are not used to post in this format. So the content is mostly a mirror of IG which makes it pointless. In Bluesky I feel like the posts come from people that fleed X and it's just more interesting somehow.
Fair. I almost always refuse to click on videos in twitter-like sites, so wouldn't have noticed this. I (usually) hate video content, especially the massive shift towards video content in our media sources.
>Many of them would probably be happy to learn

No. Most people don't like being told that they're wrong, drama ensues. They say they want to learn, but in reality, they don't.
Note that this is at a minimum, I know some teams with 10-12 folks per location. That just also has downsides since you can end up oncall once a quarter which most people in the role don't like since the extra vacation is nice.
I don't think it's that low of a bar. Threads benefited from easy account creation and promotion from Instagram (2b MAU?)

So many words, so little detail eh?

It's hard to tell whether their thing is yet another take on the sea-of-cores model, or something more interesting. They talk in terms of risc-v, so maybe it's a lot of cores, with something new. Their website seems to point at compilers being important - I guess as that means that their goal is to leverage risc-v but extend it to give the compiler more ways to express data and compute location.
These aren't intended to unfairly discriminate against the trans-identified. The purpose is to protect female spaces (which males really have no right to enter), and prevent medical harm to children by doctors with gender identity ideological beliefs.

Actual discrimination would be things like, repealing laws that protect individuals with a trans identity from being refused housing or employment because of that identity (or expression thereof). As far as I know, no-one is pushing any bills that would do this.
Heh, you don't. This will be one of the benefits of using a real carrier.
COBOL and SQL would like a word.
I think the Boston city employees that were the ones to "intentionally use this context" to maliciously misinterpret something benign as a threat. It's a time honored tradition for them.
Certain groups are trying to will bluesky into being successful. From my personal experience, X/Twitter is still killing it.

I'd imagine Threads will be successful unless Zuckerberg kills it to focus on other things. It's integrated with Instagram and could potentially be integrated into Facebook and WhatsApp too.
Languages should not have a package management system. They all have a all the world is my language blindspot and fail hard when you have anything else. Sometimes you can build plugins in a different language but they still assume the one true language is all you want.

package management belongs to the os - or at least something else.

don't get me wrong, package management is a real problem and needs to be solved. I'm arguing against a language package manager we need a language agnostic package manager.

>"With Python in Excel, you can type Python directly into a cell, the Python calculations run in the Microsoft Cloud, and your results are returned to the worksheet, including plots and visualizations."

I interpret that to mean your workbook is local to your computer but the python calculation is performed remotely and the result is then returned to your local workbook and stored in the cell.

Beyond latency concerns, I imagine there have to be security and privacy issues.
Wow. Did not expect you can just hide arbitrary data inside totally normal looking strings like that. If I select up to "Copy thi" and decode, there's no hidden string, but just holding shift+right arrow to select just "one more character", the "s" in "this", the hidden string comes along.
A prerequisite to understanding is knowing the CTE syntax ("WITH"). That's just a group of SQL queries that can refer to one another. It's extremely useful for making modular SQL queries and has nothing to do with recursion.

Then when you use "WITH RECURSIVE", the queries can now refer back to themselves. This is just a for loop over a queue of SQL results, conceptually. The part before the UNION ALL fills the queue to start, and the part after the UNION ALL runs once for each result in the queue, adding all results back into the queue.

If you understand this, then you can understand the Sudoku or Mandelbrot examples (definitely don't start with trying to understand these two though). For example, the Sudoku example contains one recursive query, "x(s, ind)". As explained on the page, "s" is the puzzle (unsolved spaces shown as ".") and "ind" is the index of the first unsolved space (or 0 for a solved puzzle). It creates an unsolved puzzle in the initial setup. The for loop body finds all valid values for the first unsolved space, and the next index to solve; then puts all these results into the queue. The final (non-recursive) SELECT in the CTE looks over all results in the queue, and returns the one where the index is 0 (the solved puzzles).

It shouldn't be any surprise: it's not like the internet's userbase of 1990 represented a broad cross-section of American society, let alone western or global societies. It was mainly a bunch of academics and college students and government users. It's just gotten more and more fragmented as more people have been added.
The USA is a federation, so the laws aren’t the same everywhere. Where I live (NYC) it was absolutely nothing like you describe.

Restaurants and bars were closed until Feb. 2021 (with a brief reprieve in fall 2020) and heavily restricted (capacity restrictions, curfews) for months longer.

Schools were mostly shut down with some brief windows of reopening until Sept. 2021. Yes 2021, so 18 months. Masks were still required in schools for several months longer.

Masks were required on the subway until Sept. 2022. Yes 2022, so 30 months.

So adults were living under severe restrictions for nearly a year, and kids in public school for a year and a half. We were living under some form of restrictions for two and a half years.

No. One required component is plain old fashioned oversupply of labor. America doesn't have that because all employable people are too rich. China also has an oversupply of skilled labor like engineers, in part because the threat of poverty is a strong motivator to get rich. America also lacks that which you can see in capable young people doing arts degrees with no thought to their future income because it doesn't matter - they'll still live comfortably even on minimum wage.
