Yeah agreed, so many of these people are mentally ill. But also, so many conspiracies in my country have been exposed and proven correct. I think the mentally ill folks are used to discredit the "hey these powerful people have colluded and lied to the public's detriment" people
Pretty much. People thinking "another Hitler can't happen in this day and age" have no idea.
You didn’t mention the third option?

No vast bureaucracy and no payment expectation.

But more realistically since the vast bureaucracy already exists… and isn’t going away in the foreseeable future, then it makes sense to utilize it.

LUTs are commonly used in geodesy applications on or near the Earth's surface. The full multipole model is used for orbital applications to account for the way that local lumpiness in Earth's mass distribution is smoothed out with increasing distance from the surface. It might be reasonable to build a 3D LUT for use at Starlink scale or higher, but certainly not for individual satellites.
From the title, I wanted to dislike this, but Dan McKinley drops another banger slide.

In Estonia there are many influential people arguing that although Estonian kids do really well in PISA tests (although the trend is declining there as well), they are also very unhappy kids. So PISA must be flawed. I haven't seen any data really supporting it except usual "mental problems are increasing since about 2010" data.
One day, I hope, I am going to get around to learning Phoenix, and that time from the Phoenix docs/website itself. Perhaps I can also find a job to learn on the job. That would be great.
This is likely a cable issue. Certain cable types can't handle 4k. I had to switch from DisplayPort to HDMI with a properly rated cable to get past this in the past.

It works up until too many pixels change, basically.

Ive a ford maverick (smallest hybrid truck i could get in the states), and was very skeptical of this feature. Im surprised about how correctly responsive it is. I drive something like 60/20/20 suburban/urban/rural. Im always ready to turn it off, for fear of imperfect performance or incorrect toggling, but i cant point to a single instance where it did the wrong thing. It’s a little bit amazing!

You're absolutely not. There's two big differences as I see it - firstly, it's not clearly impossible for the instance to survive sleep. The brain exists continuously throughout. There is constant electrical activity. We don't know for sure that our awareness is "transmitted through" to when we wake up, but we can imagine ways it's possible.

In contrast, of course, transporters and mind uploads obviously kill us.

Secondly, we can't do anything about sleep. No matter how worrying it is. There's just no choice other than to accept it.

The first argument is nicer than the second, but, frankly, if I could avoid sleep I would and I really hope I never need general anesthesia.

I am glad to see they are planning to keep the pub's weird layout of different rooms. A large part of the charm of drinking there was how it is/was laid out.
But my point is an alternate history where those things were the case. You’re assuming the current history.

Relatively modern tools like vim and Perl inherited the syntax of the parsimonious, symbol-heavy teletype era.

In the US at least, most of that work is outsourced to third parties in China or low cost of labor countries.

If an architectural firm has one in house it’s sending a message about just how boutique (and expensive) they are.
Iain, nice to hear from you after all these years!

I still say the weirdest shit ever, but now more in line with my value of honoring people above all else. I indeed, by the grace of God, have made massive strides in my behavior thanks to friends like Gabe Greenberg from G2i.co (where I worked some time ago) and others.

I also talk about our shared company where we worked together and the toxic environment in this podcast: https://youtu.be/muS-wQP2lV4?si=XIVpuzc6TzsLUvpp&t=852 if you're interested to catch up a bit.

Do you have opinions on Online school movements like Khan Academy? I know there are schools that provide a cookie cutter curriculum but maybe that is better than nothing that many economically disadvantaged students for all into?

Having gone through public school in Texas and putting my own children through private school, I am warming up to things like https://highschool.utexas.edu/
First, most common mismatch: different goals. The things I'm trying to achieve are not the things someone else is trying to achieve, which makes cooperation difficult. Or we might be trying to achieve the same thing, effectively competing for the same resources.

Second, less common but still common mismatch: different emotional responses. If an event happens and I react in way A while the other person reacts in way B, either of us needs to suppress the emotional reaction, which is exhausting. I'm not willing to do that, unless genuineness is not expected by definition (at work, at family reunion).
I feel no one in these comments knows the difference between weak scaling and strong scaling.
I think you might have run into the exact thing I put in my comment: "not to be confused with ASPD", which is also sometimes called sociopathy. I use psychopathy and sociopathy differently (such that psychopathy is chosen while sociopathy is inherent) and choices like these can be an autistic trait. I'm not talking about empathic struggles, but rather a choice not to care too much about someone's emotions in a particular context. I don't know how to square these with the commonly accepted definitions because the commonly accepted definitions are kind of ridiculous (the terms psychopathy, sociopathy, and ASPD are collectively sort of ambiguous because they all each mean everything somehow; nearly everyone is confused about them in some way).

This is why I said psychopathy "can be" the selective inhibition of empathy, because by some definitions that's what it is. Other definitions like yours essentially define it as what I call sociopathy (simply being without empathy in the first place). I don't claim my definition to be the only definition because psychopathy can sort of mean either thing depending on who you ask, but I use my definition just for the sake of argument.
I'm saying if you provide a service you can't support, stop and make room for someone else to try.

Of course they'd rather provide abusive service to hold on to user-share. That's a choice they're making and I'm saying that's a bad choice, socially speaking. Good business choice, I'm sure.
America is a democracy and demonstrably most people's priority is not good education when it comes to schooling.

A significant portion of the people who reject the school system do so entirely based on fundamentalist religious reason, specifically things like "evolution is a thing" and "here's how you have safe sex".

The primary driver of American school boards in some states literally seems to be getting the bible into American schools for some reason.
Those who are illiterate, at least of those who could become literate, realize they don't understand something right from the get-go. It turns out they also typically seek the services of lawyers when buying land for the same reasons.
You're still only talking about a 3% difference. Outside the margin of error for a properly-controlled test - which I don't think this is - to be sure. But small enough that if I went into the BIOS of your PC while you weren't looking and down-clocked the RAM to achieve the same effect you wouldn't notice unless you ran a benchmark.
I don't think that the pardon power is an effective check or balance. I think it's a holdover from forms of imperial government.

That said, I don't think it's the most urgent thing that needs to be corrected. There are a few practices I think are even worse that I'd like to see attended to first. The electoral college, for example.
I wonder whether leadership is ignorant OR informed and willing to gamble that they, unlike everyone else, will succeed.

My prediction is that 1. SW for said chips will be inferior, 2. leadership will force everyone to use it anyway, 3. Anthropic will give it a shot and be handcuffed to mediocrity, 4. Anthropic folks will pivot to something that doesn’t suck.

That slight unease used to permeate the entire internet (and made it exciting and genuinely thrilling!), and now that you've articulated it out loud it makes me think it's a critical missing part to all those "nostalgia for the old web" thinkpieces people love to write these days. Granted, I was a teenager in the 90's literally growing up into the world as the web grew up around me, so there was slight unease in all aspects of life, but that feeling of the unknown, of not totally being sure what you're going to discover (good or bad) when you surf from link to link, maybe that's really what's missing in the sanitized, commodified 2024 internet.

Or maybe I'm just overthinking it lol

This is the web2 internet I remember and love. People sharing their lives.

I watched a blurry video of a family at the zoo, a father tickling his toddler (who is having an absolute blast), a middle school play rehearsal, some guy's high school class presentation in south africa (I think?), a random indie country band at a bar, lots of terrible dancing... all joyful, no agendas.

There was a thread yesterday about Facebook's little red book and a lot of nostalgia from folks who were there at the time about the optimism across builders then. This was the kind of content that drove that feeling.

I know full well the joy of being unproductive because capitalism affords me the ability to do it. It's expensive and requires an amount of agency only afforded by a high income or outside wealth.

Do you really think the authoritarian elites will let the unwashed masses with no income do whatever the hell they want? Can you really say that after COVID lockdowns demonstrated their true colors?

None of the other capitalism-alternatives have historically afforded the kind of luxury you're suggesting either. Quite the opposite, in fact.
> Why not just take down the offending video until the user takes corrective action?

I believe this is how Twitter handles / handled rule breaking content, you got an infraction / suspension until you acknowledge and deleted the offending tweet.

Of course, I believe videos are a lot harder because it's video content which takes more effort to analyse than relatively short plain ish text messages, especially automated.
CNBC reports that the gunman used a silencer. Wtf?

Some HTTP certificates do exactly that, and web browsers used to show the company/identity the certificate was issued to in the URL bar. Now you have to go to the certificates detail, very clear on Firefox, behind a few clicks on Chrome. Here's an example from a bank in Spain: https://www.bbva.es
So frustrating to read. So frustrating to have the dawning recognition that I'm probably in this kind of place right now.

I think of this sort of thing as dysfunction, but maybe that's not really the right take. So, frustration and performative cynicism aside... where does this sort of thing come from, systemically?
That’s not what I said. It’s frustration with a system that’s set up to work against you.

Is that not a fair assessment of the US political climate?

Actually, it did it "all the time". I found out about this while being stuck in traffic, and seeing the lights move slightly up and down while inching forward and stopping. It was visible because it moved in discrete steps, compared to the continuous movement of the car.

I hadn't known it was a thing before, and went looking in the owner's manual for confirmation.

Even the last line of the poem is a twist on expectations and plays on the irony of nationalism and patriotism, the beautiful latin phrase that inspires young men and the harsh reality of trench warfare that it leads them into. No LLM is going to do that.
At the time this was probably the one of the most convenient ways to share videos with loved ones. It wouldn't cross your mind that these videos were "public" because no one had the link but you.

I'm sure it never crossed their mind that 15 years later an aggregator would be resurfacing them.
What’s the job title of that live customer service agent? And how do you reach them? To the observing world, they act like it’s $0. There’s a world of difference in “sure, this is an always an expected edge case” and “oh well, let’s just let our systems systematically screw everyone”. We have this dog and pony show every week. Most days of the week. They don’t only destroy creators who do well on YT, you just don’t usually get critical traction on your Tweet. Then you what do you do? Beg on HN and pray?
Why CT Certificate Transparency logs are not possible by logging DNS record types like CERT, OPENPGPKEY, SSHFP, CAA, RRSIG, NSEC3; ACMEv2 Proof of Domain Control; and why we need a different system for signing software package build artifacts built remotely (smart contracts, JWS, SLSA, TUF, W3C Verifiable Credentials, blockcerts and transaction fees,)
I asked for a very specific thing, not 'regulations that impact youtube'. The fact that you're telling me about your little search engine adventure without actually sharing a single link/specific regulation, says a lot.
I like the concept. CLIs I author tend to have large sets of —options, thus param derivation prob doesnt work elegantly for my use cases, unless it could expand a structs fields
There is a longer essay called "On Truth", also by Frankfurt, less read but also more interesting IMO.

I use desktop apps for certain things--mostly multimedia and dev. But I spend the majority of my time in a browser. I mostly don't even use my office because the 10-year old laptop in my kitchen works fine for web-based work, don't need a second monitor for many tasks, and the room is lighter and airier.

In all seriousness: silencers are legally available in most states. It just takes a while for the paperwork to go through (8-10 months).

Apologies are in order. I thought you were the original poster.[1] Your comment wasn’t as inappropriate. Although everything is relative.

I’m perfectly happy with appealing to authority when you respond to Josh Tripplet’s point about the author being a longtime contributor with these weird followup questions about “biggest?” and whatever, which in turn was a followup to the bizarre statement about invading projects ([1] again). Linus Torvalds is fine with the Rust in the Kernel experiment. This author is a longtime Linux contributor. So yes indeed: who are you to question Rust in the Kernel project?

To unpack a bit. Everything can be questioned. But with some sort of temperance and perspective. Talking about pushing “hacks upstream” is over the top and unfounded considering the context (what you call appeal to authority).

It would be appropriate if these were outsider upstarts that didn’t have a history in this project. But it aint.

I don't think the vacuum left by Google exiting free video hosting would last long.

There are lots of potential solutions to the problem, that aren't all very-expensive centralized services, but YouTube existing takes up all the oxygen in the room.
why should anyone care whether a drug that targets HIV has any effect on medical conditions that aren't caused by HIV? you wouldn't expect it to!
Many of the people commenting on this story have diseased souls.
Yes; they cannot take any risks with that, laws around showing porn to people / minors (accidentally or not) are stricter than copyright violations. I'm not a legal expert and honestly I'm pulling this out of my ass, but, porn is a legal matter, but copyright violations is a civil matter.

There's also the advertisers and payment processors to consider, most of them will have nothing to do with porn. This triggered some major pruning of various websites too, Tumblr and Reddit on the one side, but huge chunks of Pornhub and co as well for any porn that didn't come with the right paperwork, including identification and consent forms from the participants.
One of the amazing things truffle ruby does is handle c extensions like ruby code, meaning C is interpreted and not compiled in a traditional sense.

This makes way for jitting c code to make it way faster than the author has written it.
Also I think it’s flawed to assume all authoritarian movements are the same. Also I don’t think the literacy measurement in your article is the one we’re talking about here. Also “best universities” isn’t a good indicator for the literacy of the overall populace. Also I don’t think anyone claims Hitler came to power because Germans were dumb.

> hire more customer reps.

For that scale, you're looking at an army of tens of thousands of customer reps - on top of however many they already have. I don't know how Google does it, but FB has a number of subsidiaries or contracted companies across the world that spend their days doing content moderation.
Maybe it would be better to say "there is no inherent trust on domains". I trust HN today because I was on HN yesterday, and the day before, and last year, and 10 years ago, etc., and it's always been trustworthy (so far as I know).

But if I saw a link tomorrow for hackernews.shop and I went there, I'd be very suspicious.

Oracle Java licensing question is one for CIOs
How do you build 1 and 2? It seems so simple: talk relentlessly about what you’re trying to do as a company, and then figure out how to assign your people most effectively to do that. I’ve seen a number of leaders figure out the messaging and then flat out fail on execution. Once they’ve worked out the vision, they fail to give middle management enough latitude to accomplish it, and the lack of trust flows downhill.

I could never justify the time investment to upstream a lot of my python-build-standalone work. I made some attempts. But it always felt like I was swimming against a heavy current and the talk to meaningful action ratio was too high. The payoff would be there. But it was the kind of work someone would have to pay me to do: not how I would choose to spend my free time on nights and weekends.

I’m optimistic the Astral folks will have better success than me and I support them in their efforts. They have viable, popular solutions in hand. Hopefully that helps convert others to their cause. “If you build it they will come.”
You're commenting from a US perspective but the person you're responding to was commenting from a European perspective.

In Europe (including the UK), we have seen an enormous surge in asylum seekers and they're housed, fed, etc, with tax money. I believe the latest annual figure is around £5bn, which is not insignificant.

I don't know what the solution is, as an immigrant to the UK myself I find it difficult to judge or comment, but you need to keep in mind that Europe has a welfare model quite different from your US. We typically pay more taxes and have a higher expectation of public services. When those services are deteriorating, people look for someone to blame.

Immigrants are an easy target.

In reality, it is much more to do with the aging population and fewer in the workforce, but that doesn't mean that we're also not paying a lot of money for asylum seekers.
