What I've read of the Community Notes algorithm casts it as far more neutral than any hiring decisions about professional content moderators could possibly be. If it's "political," it's in a similar way to comparing the GDP of various countries is political--reality gives the verdict, the politics is in whether that verdict was the optimal one to ask reality for.

> Imagine a Californian colonization effort with hundreds of thousands of psychopath soldiers exactly 15 yrs old, hopped up on roids, raised by a few hundred drill sargeants since they could hold their heads up, slowly marching through and getting rid of anyone who wasn't flagged as an elite.

California is already colonized. What you're describing sounds more like some of the horrors of the DRC wars, which have seen the use of child soldiers. Moral horror is perfectly possible for those who wish to build it, without requiring any kind of artificial birth.
I had Latin in school for seven years but we never learned to use it in a conversation. It was mostly vocabulary, grammar and translation of texts into my native language and interpreting/discussing them.

It did help to have an easier access to learn other languages. But in hindsight I would have loved to be able to talk in Latin.

FB moderation has been a complete failure compared to Twitter’s community notes system. This is Meta switching from authoritarian moderation to community-driven notes. This should be presented as a good thing, but every news outlet out there is spinning it negatively as “Facebook is removing all moderation.” No mention of what they are adding in its place.
If you look at the other "personal goals" comment in this subthread, which lists "buy house and get married" before children, I think you can see what the real barrier is.

Bazzite now (as of last week) has beta support for nvidia cards. Only through the open driver though, so no series 10 cards unfortunately (I have one laying around which I was planning to use to build a gaming box on my living room).
Sure, there's the secessionist Southern Movement supported by UAE, there's the Hadi government backed by the saudis, sometimes AQAP or its offshoots holds territory.

You don't explain why Ansar Allah officials consistently claim they aren't a movement aiming for an imamate, why? The Saleh government used to say the Ansar Allah aimed for an imamate, but now Saleh and Islah are mostly allied with them. Did Saleh change his mind and now wants the imamate revival? Has the Islah party converted to zaydism?

There are quite a few americans in the Red Sea and probably the Gulf of Aden too. They see a lot of drones and other projectiles coming their way. The Ansar Allah has also fought, rather efficiently, Janjaweed soldiers employed by their neighbours. They also attack Israel, mainly what's currently known as Eilat and Tel Aviv. Yes, it's a repressive movement but it's pretty clear they at times militarily engage distinctly foreign troops.

Since they have sunni allies they clearly aren't fanatically sectarian either. It's likely they learned a lot from Hezbollah, which typically has allied with the christian fringe in Lebanon. I find it very hard to explain the decisions and policies of the Ansar Allah without seeing them through an anticolonial and antiimperialist lens.

"Death to America" isn't a specifically khomeinist slogan, though Khomeini did a lot to popularise it. The Ansar Allah expands on it, and for a mainly sunni hating movement it's surprising it doesn't mention sunnis, wouldn't you say?

Could you share a facsimile of such a pledge or similar source?

Surprisingly less calories in 32oz of Coke than I was expecting, less than a standard Starbucks sugary drink probably. Regarding coffee, people like what they like, and there's a lot of memories I also have associated with it, as well as drinking copious amounts of Coke for that matter.

If you ever want to try and ease off both those vices, I'd simply recommend buying a McDonalds coffee, buying a Starbucks Blonde Americano, and then taking them home and brewing a cup of the folgers instant with no additions. Get someone to pour them into identical cups, and have them play a shell game (move the cups around to hide which ones they are), then try them back and forth. Try to avoid anything with sugar in it for a few hours before. I bet you'll pick out some differences and maybe even like them, then if you want to try and delete the sugar from your coffee, avoid it in exchange for black coffee for at least a few months. It's not as hard as it seems, but it does take some time.

Then if you like, play around with easy home brewing methods like french press or pour over, grinding beans etc.. those were probably the most impactful things I tried when I went on the same journey. Grinding recently roasted beans before brewing was eye opening. I honestly didn't believe black coffee could be palatable, and was drinking Folgers with half and half from the big red can for ages.

You recon that forced sterilization for being unable to look after all your kids would be unpopular? Even for a maximum limit that's significantly higher than the number that most people would be capable of?

You have a higher regard for pubic opinion than me, if you think public opinion would prevent it — in the UK it's fairly easy to run into support for this as a penalty for various things that were already crimes, along with various other things that the speaker thought ought to be.

This was even (jokingly) suggested as a thing to be done to former prime minister Boris Johnson, due to his frequent affairs and unknown number of children.
No it isn't, XML is an ecosystem with things like dedicated transfer protocols (EXI), schemas (XSD), transformers (XSLT) that JSON still doesn't have standardized/normalised even though JSON has been the norm for nearly 20 years. There's some projects of course (JSON Schema, OpenAPI), but they're separate and not part of the same standardization committee.

> whose internals are a true human centipede of bad practices and organic tendrils of doing things the wrong way

Currently there. On one hand: lot of old code which looks horrible (the "just put comments there in case we need it later" pattern is everywhere). Hidden scripts and ETL tasks on forgotten servers, "API" (or more often files sent to some FTP) used by one or two clients but it's been working for more than a decade so no changing that.
On the other: it feels like doing archeology, learning why things are how they are (politics, priority changes over the years). And when you finally ship something helping the business with an easier to use UI you know the effort was not for nothing.
An honest day's work, doing hard labour and getting paid merely nothing in comparison. Teenager's are often used because they lack the experience of what a job should pay.

As a lazy synthdad, father of a piano virtuoso who makes fun of my musical clumsiness, I concur: listen to music, watch music being played and read about music all you want... It won't get you very far: music requires practice, practice and practice daily, even if just a little - and memorizing some scales and chords goes a long way too.

I don't understand your point at all. Community Notes on E(x) has been ineffective, because ultimately the point of moderation is to delete posts which aren't true so they receive no reach and spread no disinformation.

Not to turn them into a public debate which might as well continue in the posts themselves.

Meta's political history has consistently been shady. Meta patented behavioural targeting technology in 2012 and was fined $5bn for its "accidental" links to anti-democratic election-fixers Cambridge Analytica/SCL, who have ties to far-right oligarchs in the US and the UK.

If you're looking for an ideological position, look there. The historical record is absolutely clear.

And then there are comments from Meta insiders, who - perhaps - have a clearer picture of what's going on than outsiders do.

As for malpractice, consider the recent AI rollout and rollback. It was an absolute fiasco for all kinds of reasons, PR and technical, not least of which was the way the bots themselves turned on the company.

Threads has already had a mini-exodus because of slanted moderation.

Meta is simply not a trustworthy company. So "Oh, let's scrap our moderation and do community notes" is hardly an isolated slip-up on an otherwise unblemished record of noble public service.

Tear Gas Is Way More Dangerous Than Police Let on (2020)
Well I think what you are calling fact checking is actually journalism.

The concept of fact checking is a very recent movement, with the idea that we could filter out the "fake news" on the internet, which is also a recent concept.

But it turned out that the so called "fake news" wans't always so fake, and that the fact checkers weren't always so factual.

So it turns out that you can't trust any group to determine what the facts are for the rest of the people.

You can fact-check for yourself, but don't put your "facts" on other people like they're real facts. Leave other people in their respect, and let them think for themselves. You can of course share your knowledge, but you should let the other person ultimately decide what they believe for themselves.

Frontend churn hasn't been as much of a thing for years now, see e.g. https://2022.stateofjs.com/en-US/libraries/front-end-framewo.... If you stuck with Angular or React 10 years ago, you're still good today. jQuery is even older but still on 75% of websites (https://w3techs.com/technologies/overview/javascript_library), and Bootstrap is on nearly a quarter.

Frontend churn is only a thing if you try to stay on the left side of the Gartner Hype Cycle.

I see Apple pursuing a long term vision where product integration and privacy are pillars in a seamless, trusted ecosystem.

Privacy is clearly not what Apple is doing: simply read the 90s texts from the cypherpunk scene to get an idea what privacy really means. Also consider that a lot of features that make life a lot more comfortable ("seamless") are very privacy-invading. Thus going for privacy would make the (in this case Apple) product quite uncomfortable to use.
I don't know about the UK but people would definitely be against it in the US, as it encroaches on what people perceive to be able to have as many kids as possible, regardless of whether they can support them or not. That's part of the big deal with the abortion debate as well.

Login links from my service were automatically clicked and rendered and I know that other services discovered similar problems.

It’s not a higher level of security than password-based authentication. Why do you state that?

One-time email verification is not the same as security model as magic links. Magic links require instant access. Many security sensitive sites require a time delay and secondary notification for password reset links, which you can’t reasonably do for login links.

Lifecycle management is an interesting point. There are some underlying assumptions that might not hold though—losing an email doesn’t necessarily mean downstream accounts should be auto disabled too. Think Facebook and college emails, for example.
On a whim I once bid on a "collectors" type Switch game. Me and someone else raised the price near the end of the auction. Not being used to eBay bidding I wasn't ready near the final seconds and got outbid.

A couple of days later I saw the same item relisted. I wouldn't be surprised if the person I was bidding against was just there to pump the price for the seller, or was an alt account of the seller. Obviously against eBay's TOS but I'd be surprised if it didn't happen.

Fizzbuzz wasn't about seeing if a candidate knew the 'tricks', it was to test if you knew how to code at all. If you know about loops and if statements you can do fizzbuzz even you've never heard about modulo operators. Fizzbuzz was designed to catch the complete bullshitters who literally could not code. Apparently that was a real problem people were having at the time.
The will is there, but not the experience to know that the pay is ridiculous. People often think that kids and teenagers don't need to earn much, but they do the same job as a 40 year old would. However, the 40-year olds know that the pay is bad, that's why these positions are open to and taken by teenagers.

"Willfully" is such a toxic word to use here. Did you know that prostitutes also do that willfully? Do you think that's a fair assessment to make?

I've been playing synths and piano for a while, but I've been struggling to get some solid intuitions about what is going on when I tweak the synths. One thing that really helped on this site, is the «dot» that is bouncing back and forth on https://learningsynths.ableton.com/en/playground . Try tweaking the nobs and see how the dots movement changes. It helped me visualize something that I wasn't able to grasp before. Nice link!

Have you tried playing around with using the same grinder, but switching up the beans and brewing method?

I think a lot of people go espresso at home, but I do think that's an extremely difficult thing to transition to consuming black unless you're really into the hobby of it all and have adjusted. It's just really intense, which naturally blends well with the fats and sugars in dairy, especially with most espresso roasts being darker. If I personally go espresso, it's either a latte or black Americano.
Well, for the second most popular thing on HN in the last 30 days, I'm sort of struggling to figure out what this is and why people love it. I opened it and clicked like 20 times, got some icons that do nothing, and came back here. I can see from the comments that it's apparently more interesting if you drop into developer tools and automate clicking, but I assume that's not the creator's intention? No normal person is going to click 50,000 times -- what is this? It's a game? For who? Some sort of commentary on our stressful attention seeking age? Spoilers please.

Thinking in terms of monoids can be quite helpful even if you're not in pure functions land.

For instance, if you're putting together an on-disk full-text search index, immutability techniques become very relevant (since you can't insert into the middle of files like you can do with in-memory hashmaps). Just make small indexes and a (binary, associative) index-merge operation. Now you have an online&updatable search engine which doesn't need to wait for full reindexes over the data to include new documents.
I Built a Movie Streaming Site in 2 Days
So here’s the deal: I was tired of juggling Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, and all these other subscriptions—just to watch a few movies and shows. I thought, "What if I could just build my own streaming site?" Something simple, easy to use, and without the subscription fees.

In just two days, I ended up with a site that pulls actual movie streams from multiple platforms. Using vidsrc.dev API, the site gives you access to real, working movie streams (no fake links here). I also use TMDB for movie data, so you get all the juicy details like synopses, ratings, trailers, and more.

And the best part? No ads. Just pure movie streaming goodness—no interruptions, no pop-ups, no annoyances. Just pick a movie and hit play.

The project wasn’t exactly smooth sailing—especially getting everything to work across devices and building a responsive UI in such a short time. But somehow, I made it happen. It’s definitely not perfect (looking at you, sketchy code), but it does the job.

Feel free to check it out and let me know what you think! Here’s the link: https://lensloria.netlify.app/

Latin followed the alphabetic principle with few exceptions (U and J were later invented to fix the main exceptions). We know almost exactly how it was pronunced because of that and remarks contemporaries recorded on how speech sounded. For example, R was called the littera canina because of the trill. It is especially noticeable when you have two of them together like in terra.

The main thing we do not know is how regnum was pronounced. We know it was either of two options for interpreting gn and a third choice is that both were acceptable. People are also unsure how 4 of the short vowels sounded. Some say that they have slightly different sounds while others say that they are just short versions of the long vowels like the other two (A and Y). It is possible both variations co-existed.

We also know that western Romans often mispronounced Y as I since they had trouble rounding their lips for Y. Y had been introduced for transliteration of Greek loanwords, so it was not a native sound for the western Romans.
McD app is the absolute worst.

1) rooted or bootloader-unlocked Android devices are not allowed (granted it's easy enough to get past it for now but the checks are still there).
2) 2FA requirements as if anyone would bother to steal coupons from others

It appears that they want ordering burgers to have the same level of enhanced security as banking apps. Not even crypto or trading apps bother to block unlocked devices in such a way. Blocking rooted devices doesn't even make banking apps more secure but for them I can at least understand the reasoning.

First off, false equivalence - there is no "instead of", what the police do or do not is unrelated to the reduction of parking spaces.

Second, implementing safety by modifying the physical environment is vastly superior to anything else because it scales. There's no longer a need to educate every single person who will use every intersection in the city every day on how to do it safely, nor a need to ensure x police officers are present. The physical design creates an environment that is safe by default.
