> We’re getting rid of a number of restrictions on topics like immigration, gender identity and gender that are the subject of frequent political discourse and debate. It’s not right that things can be said on TV or the floor of Congress, but not on our platforms.

My mom and my wife’s mom both have remarked in the last year that they’re upset with speech policing. My mom can’t say things about immigration that she thinks as an immigrant, and my mother in law is censored on gender issues despite having been married to a transgender person in the 1990s. They’re not ideological “free speech” people. Neither are political, though both historically voted left of center “by default.”

The acceptable range of discourse on these issues in the social circles inhabited by Facebook moderators (and university staff) is too narrow, and imposing that narrow window on normal people has produced a backlash among the very people who are key users of Facebook these days (normie middle age to older people). This is a smart move by Zuckerberg.
Jobs lied all the time, only difference was that he had the luck of not being busted cause he could realize the lies before the due date.

Not saying this makes him worse than Elon Musk though, Elon is obviously much worse. You can see this in just how he interacts politically and how he used his social media platform to influence elections.

The fact that its a recurring revenue scheme allows them to get bonds based on that income. I think I saw that they were planning to secure $18B for a project when it was $15 for the toll.
I'm not being defensive, but this conversation is getting nowhere and that's becoming a little frustrating. Maybe you don't see it but your comments in this thread are all along the lines of "don't use recursion"... until they're suddenly not. You wrote (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42595354):

>> Recursion is great for CS education, but recursion should be rarely/never used in production code. Tail call recursion is one exception to that - I see it in production code occasionally. But tail call recursion is limited to cases of 1-dimensional recursion that can be transformed into iteration - and iteration is better anyway, so even tail calls need some extra justification for use in production code.

"... recursion should be rarely/never used in production code" and "even tail calls need some extra justification for use in production code". Then you listed the JPL coding guidelines that say "avoid recursion". And now you're saying that what you really meant was that yes, you should use recursion, and tail recursion, but that doesn't count because it can be replaced by iteration anyway? Then why not avoid the replacement service and have all your loops be iterative in the first place? Or is that your argument? I really can't tell. And I'm getting the feeling that you don't know exactly what you're arguing for yourself, especially if you say (big reveal) you are working with recursion everyday. What's this all about now?

>> That’s not true, I think you’re misunderstanding the article you linked to. Primitive recursive functions require fixed bounds, but that is not the same thing as all iteration. The Church-Turing thesis proves that anything you call recursion can be iterated.

Right, so now we're talking about unbounded iteration? Again that's not the impression I got from the discussion upthread. Is that the good, safe, NASA-compliant kind of coding practices you support? I don't think it is.

>> Keep using tail recursion, that’s a good way to avoid some of the problems with recursion!

Now you're just being patronising. I was hoping we could have a robust disagreement without taking the piss, but I guess this one too has gone the way of all the conversations on the internet. Let's end this hear then, I'll let you have the last word (since I wrote a bit already myself).

And no hard feelings from me. Communication is difficult.

Btw, this is interesting:

>> I even work on a team that builds recursive hardware that accelerates traversing recursive data structures.

If you want to say a couple of words about what that is, I'd be curious to hear.
For the GDT the start is pretty easy to get to (Banff is ~1.5 hr from Calgary Airport, flights from anywhere) but the finish in NM is also in the middle of nowhere. The only saving grace is that the finishing season is typically compact enough that you can organize some sort of transportation. Most of the thru riders end the videos or logs at the border; it would be helpful if they showed how they got home from the middle of the desert.
The new one is actually dual 4k (only one on the market) but obviously has quite a price tag: https://www.samsung.com/us/computing/monitors/gaming/57-odys...
When making a little extra profit and swapping an expensive team for some AI can be trumpeted as "reducing censorship", suddenly surveillance advertising king, Facebook, is on-board.

In the same way that monopolies that produce super-profits are called "innovation" (innovation in profit-making, that is).

And George Orwell thought the communists were fond of double-speak.
Isn't the entire civilization about "patching issues"?

Outside rural Sahel or Afghanistan, the world has moved on to an industrial or post-industrial society, where it is no longer desirable to keep women illiterate and start having babies at 17, when the natural fertility is at its peak, then immediately employing small kids as goatherds.

IVF is a partial patch for increasing educational levels of the general population. I am fine with a more educated population.
Because jobs get outsourced overseas and US hires people from overseas with H1B visas.
Hi, I am using 2x LG DualUp monitors on factory stands in side-by-side mode. Great for coding, ops and browsing, not great for watching videos and gaming due to proportions and 60Hz refresh rate. I have switched from 1st gen 49" Samsung G9, which was very good but lacked vertical space.
5120x1440p if it's the same monitor i have.
The press release[1] says it's using NVIDIA's Grace CPU[1], as well as this:

MediaTek, a market leader in Arm-based SoC designs, collaborated on the design of GB10, contributing to its best-in-class power efficiency, performance and connectivity.

I assume that means USB and such peripherals is MediaTek IP, while the Blackwell GPU and Grace CPU is entirely NVIDIA IP.

That said, NVIDIA hasn't been super-great with the Jetson series, so yeah, will be interesting to see what kind of upstream support this gets.

Yep. Few AAA games can run at 4K60 at max graphics without upscaling or frame gen on a 4090 without at least occasionally dipping below 60. Also, most monitors sold with VRR (which I would argue is table stakes now) are >60FPS.
It sounds like you’re talking about protocol, and the article is talking about implementations.
> Incidentally: A "fact" is an immutable facet of the world itself, whether we can even acknowledge it properly or not. Facts don't need checkers.

The term "fact checker" does not mean someone who checks that facts are true. It means someone who checks that what someone claims is a fact is in fact a fact.
Further it should be web based not app based and Apple's money machine is way too tied to their app store to establish such a new personal device paradigm. Your assistant fetches everything from the web to show you, discuss with and or have you interact with.

With it web based AI helps the web thrive not kill it off as people are concerned with now.
Almost everything in Hinduism is not prescribed strictly because Hinduism is really an amalgamation of many separate beliefs systems / traditions / ritual / books, etc. which were followed by local cohorts.

That's why many books contradict each other. Some books prescribe an age and order for such steps, others don't, etc. They weren't meant to be all collected, all studied, and all chosen piecemeal by one observer. But over time it has evolved into a much different thing than when it started
Although marginally better traffic might be a side effect of congestion pricing, its primary effect is a wealth transfer from lower- and middle-class residents of Manhattan, who must buy goods locally at higher prices, to MTA contractors and their labor unions, who already make construction on the New York subway far and away the most expensive in the world.

Where is the congestion pricing tracker that measures the higher cost of groceries to working-class lower Manhattan residents?

> There's a lot here that feels like... Bad statistics. Not to say that there's no truth in the accusations - but they don't seem to be acting in good faith, and that will wreck them when it comes to the court.

Well…

There are a couple of cases here:

* 1:24-cv-11801, Northern District of Illinois (class action with Radner's Markets as lead plaintiff)

* 1:24-cv-11816, Northern District of Illinois (class action with Alexander Govea as lead plaintiff - a person who bought frozen potato products at supermarkets)

The complaints were filed only two days apart, by different lawyers; I wonder whether a lot of firms were looking into frozen potatoes and these two ended up first to file?

I hope one or both of these lawsuits goes far enough that we can get to discover and will get to see some emails. That's always the fun part.

Ask HN: How would you improve job search?
What isn't available on most job search sites (or within recruiter processes) that would improve your search experience?

Why is this topic being posted and removed every 10 minutes?
This is cool. It’d be interesting to compare the authoring UI & workflow & relative merits of curve-authored terrain to surfel-authored terrain. And those should be compared to patch & poly workflows, as well as painting tools like Zbrush. I can imagine authoring unstructured curves to model a surface can be quite nice for certain things, but you probably do lose some advantages in other methods.

> I cannot stress this enough the thing we want here is the thing you're probably used to calling "the surface normal", but—for reasons I am not responsible for—the thing we want is instead called the "binormal" here and the thing that is called the "normal" is instead a different thing. Why did the mathematicians do this to us?!

In case the author is reading, this paragraph has a some misconceptions in it. Mathematicians did not cause your curve binormal to line up with your surface normal, that’s something you have control over. Curve normals will not usually be tangent to your surface, and binormals will not usually line up with a surface normal. There are multiple valid ways to define a curve normal & binormal. The most famous curve normal is the “Frenet” normal, which is by definition pointing in the direction of curvature. If you use the Frenet frame, then the curve normal will be close to (but not exactly the same as) what you want for reconstructed surface normal.

You can for sure set up your authoring system so that a curve normal you define is the surface normal you want, and the curve binormal becomes one of the surface tangents. (Curve tangent will be the other surface tangent.)

One thing that might be really useful to recognize is that even when curves have an intrinsic normal and binormal provided by your curve authoring tools, you can assign your own normal and binormal to the curve, and encode them as offsets from the intrinsic frame. (The “Frame” is the triple of [tangent,normal,binormal].) If Blender is letting you control the curve normals without moving control points, then it’s already doing this for you, it already has two different frames, and internal one you don’t see and a visible one you can manipulate.
I think with new agent capabilities of AI IDEs like Cursor and Cline, you can simply instruct the agent to run a profiler in the shell and make optimizations based on the output of the profiler. You can even instruct the agent to try to make the program run faster than a certain time limit and will try to reach that goal iteratively.
>I have a moral issue with it as well because the roads are financed by everyone's taxes

Mind elaborating on how this is a "moral issue"? Public transit is funded by "everyone's taxes" as well, but you still have to pay a fare to use it. Do you get similarly aggrieved?

>Around the time the charge was starting it was easy to find supporters for it on tv chat shows but I never met one in real life.

It's trivial to find polls that show a non-negligible level of support for the charge. eg. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/gla/page/0,9067,897312,... or https://www.vitalcitynyc.org/articles/how-london-and-stockho.... Just because your small circle of friends don't support it, doesn't mean they don't exist.
You are right. I think those images need some css to let the user know that are images.

Thank you very much for the feedback!
Zig looks interesting, I just wish it had operator overloading. I don't really buy most of the arguments against operator overloading. A common argument is that with operator overloading you don't know what actually happens under the hood. Which doesn't work, because you might as well create a function named "add" which does multiplication. Another argument is iostreams in C++ or boost::spirit as examples of operator overloading abuse. But I haven't really seen that happen in other languages that have operator overloading, it seems to be C++ specific.
If the goal is to prevent, or limit the spread of "misinformation" community notes is a failure. I see community notes merely as additional context on what is now a wide open machine for spreading any information, regardless of truth.
Given how easy it is to take things out of context, I'm not so sure that the original context really makes a difference.

There's more people online than any of us has heartbeats, and the n^2 number of user-user pairs generates detrimental effects that track any positive effects.

Much better, I think, for each of us to have a small and private personal social network, not to hand everything over to a foreign* company trying to project its social norms worldwide.

* Facebook claims about 3 billion active users, so for 89%-93.5%** of its users, the fact that Facebook is American makes them foreign.

The question was about users in general, not HN users in particular.

Also, just because you know how to do it, doesn't mean you want to tinker with a complex network topology on your home network.
The 4080 struggles to play high end games at 4k and there aren't that many 8k tvs/monitors in the market... Doesn't make much sense that anyone would think about the 4090 as an 8k GPU to be honest.
That can be possible in theory yeah but in order for these aggregators to work well, the participants usually also send their own data and this makes it clear price fixing.

If you send your own prices and then you get other prices back in return, it's 100% price fixing without any doubt.

That what's making it different from a market study.
AI generated images can be good, and even reasonable to use for branding. Slapping an image right at the top of the page that says "Abstract Synxex Tree" with a meaningless graph and an absolutely expressionless and useless humanoid robot is a great way to immediately lose my interest in anything they have to say though. The homepage would be more interesting as a wall of text.
Your solution to road congestion on a densely-populated peninsula is more roads. Got it.
The majority, but not all - some run on UL91 or even "mogas" (unleaded fuel from the petrol station).
I don't think lock-in is the reason. The reason is more that companies like Asus and MSI have a global presence and their products are available on store shelves everywhere. NVIDIA avoids having to deal with building up all the required relationships and distribution, they also save on things like technical support staff and dealing with warranty claims directly with customers across the globe. The handful of people who get an FE card aside.
The pangolin soup theory of COVIDs origin was touted by fact checkers as true. This was despite real concern from actual scientists.

Fact checkers fall into three possibly overlapping categories:

1. Government censorship units designed explicitly to convey what the government says as ultimate truth

2. Activist organizations using fact checking to control a narrative

3. Useful idiots who cite news or highly contentious sources (Wikipedia) as a source of truth

All 3 of these represent a version of “truth” conditioned on what sounds good or controls a narrative. “Common knowledge” is not always fact, too. In many cases fact checkers would be nice to have the truth is unknowable (think classified data). In no case are fact checkers unambiguously correct as they are often portrayed. Unfortunately, however, they are often given the unassailable position as truth-bearers. The “facts” (read “narrative”) changes so quickly on topics where a true oracle of truth would be indispensable the purpose of a fact checker is, factually, worthless.
New government. So you've got lack of moderation driven by a fear of government intervention.
I think it is a tricky story for this site because it is a tech company making an obviously politically motivated decision, so it is producing a lot of unproductive discussion.
I’m less concerned by the change of fact checking to community notes, because meta had often neutered the ability of their fact checkers anyway.

What I am concerned about is their allowance of political content again.

Between genocides and misinformation campaigns, meta has shown that the idea of the town square does not scale. Not with their complete abandonment of any kind of responsibility to the social construct of its actual users.

Meta are an incredibly poor steward of human mental health. Their algorithms have been shown to create intense feedback loops that have resulted in many deaths, yet they continue down the march of bleeding as much out of people as possible.
Nvidia (and AMD) make the "core", but they don't make a "full" graphics card. Or at least they don't mass produce them, I think Nvidia tried it with their "founders edition".

It's just not their main business model, it's been that way for many many years at this point. I'm guessing business people have decided that it's not worth it.

Saying that they are "resellers" isn't technically accurate. The 5080 you buy from ASUS will be different than the one you buy from MSI.
May be the tech equivalent resonates better.

Everyone should use telnet and there is no evidence that anyone is looking at your packets.

As a divided country, we keep squabbling over the metaphorical telnet when we could be making ssh more accessible. Or building the next generation with key rotation.
I still find most LLMS to be extremely poor programmers .

Claude will often generate tons and tons of useless code quickly using up it's limit. I often find myself yelling at it to stop.

I was just working with it last night.

"Hi Claude, can you add tabs here.":
<div>

<MainContent/>

<div/>

Claude will then start generating MainContent.

DeepSeek, despite being free does a much better job than Claude. I don't know if it's smarter, but whatever internal logic it has is much more to the point.

Claude also has a very weird bias towards a handful of UI libraries that has installed, even if those wouldn't be good for your project. I wasted hours on shancn UI which requires a very particular setup to work.

LLM's are generally great at common tasks using a top 5( popularity) language.

Ask it to do something in a Haxe UI library and it'll make up functions that *look* correct.

Overall I like them, they definitely speed things up. I don't think most experienced software engineers have much to worry about for now. But I am really worried about juniors. Why higher a junior engineer, when you can just tell your seniors they need to use Copilot to crank out more code
I wish more games had an option for N64/Xbox-level graphics to maximize frame rate. No eye candy tastes as good as 120Hz feels.
It's not _just_ printing though it's transport, storage and distribution then at the end of it's life span collection and destruction. In 2023 the US printed 2,397,104,000 in $1 bills alone. Doing anything at that scale is not cheap no matter how inexpensive a single unit of production is.
Once the Uber drops you off, it's available to take someone else somewhere they need to go. Car services are an essential part of a total system that enables people not to have to drive. Personal cars are the opposite of that.

It's one of those things about the way Americans think about transit that makes me insane, they try to assess the ROI of every single individual leg of a transit system rather than assess the system as a whole.

For example they'll cancel late night bus service because very few people use it. Except that the people who do, are people who occasionally are forced to stay late at their job and rely on the bus running late. Once it's cancelled they have to drive to work every single day since they're not sure they won't be stranded. The 3-4 bus rides a month they used to take are exchanged for 22 private car trips because you cut back service.

That's just one example. Here's another more suited to your example. What if you generally switch to taking transit into the city, and only take an uber when it's raining or you have something heavy to carry?

If I allow there to be a robust market for Ubers in the city then that's possible. If I aggressively charge Ubers then you can't do that, and you're back to driving every day.

There's plenty of examples. But in short it's clear that private cars are by a mile the worst and most inefficient thing occupying the roads. That's what we want to have the strongest incentives against.

You don’t? Homeless people need somewhere to go and a welcoming coffee shop is a viable option. Removing tables and making it less “sit down” friendly is a good way to drive all of your customers towards grabbing their drinks to-go.
It's quite remarkable how quickly the tides are turning. Even 12 months ago I would have never expected to hear things like these from Zuckerberg's mouth:

> Zuckerberg said Meta was focused on "restoring free expression"

> The 40-year-old tycoon said that "recent elections feel like a cultural tipping point toward, once again, prioritizing speech."

> He added that Meta platforms would "simplify" their content policies "and get rid of a bunch of restrictions on topics like immigration and gender that are just out of touch with mainstream discourse."

> Meta will also relocate its trust and safety and content moderation teams from California, to Texas. Zuckerberg suggested the southern state is a place where "there is less concern about the bias of our teams."

It was to be expected, that business would be the first to drop identity politics, after being the last to hop on the bandwagon. They have the most to lose. Now let's see if the institutions that are paid by taxes will follow, or if they have to be forced to through budget cuts and legislation.
