> There was at least one of these groups in several major cities.

Is there an "are we dating the same guy?" group for every city? Sure I believe that. Do 100% of those groups commit Doxing? Well, that I'm not so sure of.

In fact, I've literally never heard of that before, it doesn't sound like the objective of the group. So I googled it and I found one case where a guy is arguing that people in the group manipulated his messages and so he's suing Meta for Doxing.

Also, if you read closely you might be confused like I was. Defamation is not Doxing.

So if you have evidence of Doxing in these groups I would love to see it.
Simply via other schemes.
Also, Li-ion batteries don't really use rare earth metals (there's a little yttrium in some varieties of LFP cells). The idea that REs are needed for batteries dates back to nickel metal hydride batteries, which Li-ion batteries supplanted.
NULLs are weird because they are basically two different types under the same name. The 3-value logic type is useful for representing "missing" foreign keys, but 2-value logic type is arguably more useful when searching/sorting/aggregating.

I think we would have been better-off by treating FKs (and maybe outer JOINs) as a special case, and using 2-value logic everywhere else.

> If AI does replace jobs massively we will get UBI type systems

wishful thinking. A more viable and realistic alternative is to let those who are useless post-ai to die.

UBI only works if the production of resources is "free", and i do not foresee such a future until the entire globe is united under one gov't, and we become a type I civilization capable of harvesting all energy on the planet.
My brief review of Kagi: I’m never going back to ad-supported search.

I rely heavily on internet search for my job, and Kagi has made everything so much faster that I’ve almost stopped thinking about the search engine entirely. Google search had become frustratingly ineffective, often requiring me to dig deep to find what I needed. With Kagi, it just works. I rarely have to scroll beyond the first few results. In fact, Kagi’s effectiveness has made me search even more—now, I use it naturally without considering other services.

While this article highlights some valid concerns people may have with Kagi, I think the service is solid enough that everyone should give it a try.
>dont get why that upsets you.

Because this often sounds like people think you haven't tried (almost) everything yet and of course they might have a solution.

I think your and parent commenter's situation and reaction are polar though. One was in the situation where they receive an unwelcome advice all too often, the other one would like more attention but never got one.

Notice than you are prepared to do something you are not really iterested in and possibly don't even need - only to give some 3rd party a satisfaction as a "thank you" for their attention.
I like how you used "fortunately". For me too the most important in PDF is to print a good and accurate text and graphics (preferably vector graphics), which recently is not as easy as it would be possible
I saw quite a few hydrogen buses when I was in China. Idk what the Chinese think of their longer term viability, but they're there, and they work, at least in China. Maybe Japan (and the rest of the world) simply lacks the infrastructure needed to support them?
> I'm currently using Go with Ent and Gqlgen and Relay extension on the backend and React vite with Relay graphql client as well as React-oidc-context for oidc with zitadel as the oidc idp.

That sounds way more complex than even the average Rails or Django app, let alone the Good Ol' Days™ of CGI scripts.
The issue the top level comment was pointing out was the use of hydrogen in its form as an elemental gas (H2). Not the use of hydrogen in chemical compounds. Already chemical production plants that use elemental hydrogen as part of their processes have to take into account its issues with causing metal embrittlement and that it can escape pressure containers through diffusion.

If you have a hydrogen energy supply chain and are storing hydrogen in vehicles, service stations and a lot of other infrastructure, escaped hydrogen may start causing structural issues in structures that were never designed with hydrogen storage in mind. If we transition to hydrogen powered cars, parking garages may have to be redesigned to handle metal embrittlement caused by accumulated hydrogen leaks from vehicles.
Kagi is amazing. The ability to permanently remove sites from the results and promote sites you want to see is a game changer.
Maybe. I didn’t learn shit as a business major.
I went to the referenced article about the 15 years (https://eprints.kingston.ac.uk/id/eprint/42134/), but I'm very skeptical as to what that actually means without more info (I just read the abstract, don't have access to the full article). I'm sure a huge part of that is there is much more M&A than there was 80 years ago. I also don't even understand how the quote in the abstract can make sense, because it states "The average lifespan of a US S&P 500 company has fallen by 80% in the last 80 years", but that article was written in 2018 and the S&P 500 was only created in 1957. There were no "S&P 500 companies" 80 years ago.

I'm also guessing the WEF's survey list skews heavily, if not entirely, to large, established employers.
You don't need to interview all employers. It's called sampling.
Won't those people have more money than the plebes who finance. I too thought the linkage was more implicit. Even if you have insurance covering everything, it's a serious inconvenience to lose all your stuff and live elsewhere for however long while your neighborhood gets rebuilt.
> Fizzbuzz was designed to catch the complete bullshitters who literally could not code.

I'm unsure if we are in agreement or not. To me, the expansion of leetcode and friends is driven by the desire to filter for higher quality candidates. For example, in year 2000, fizzbuzz was good to filter out people who could barely write a for loop. Then, big tech needed higher and higher gates to keep out people who did not meet their standards. So fizzbuzz was given a healthy dose of anabolic steriods and told to "hit the gym". In a sense, fizzbuzz was transformed into leetcode, but the spirit was unchanged.

> What expanded scope in new TVs is actually something I would care for?

I think this is the crux of our confusion; you may not desire the expanded functionality but others certainly do. You can suggest that manufacturers force unwanted functionality onto consumers but I have trouble accepting that premise unless admit our own complicity; maybe I’m part of that problem though.

> Owning a TV is something one should be able to do for over 10 years.

Again, that’s your preference and the choice you’ve already made; I choose to not set arbitrary time limits but instead make decisions on purchasing new TVs (and other non-essential products) depending on the available technologies and toys—and, of course, the girth (if any) of my wallet . We have different preferences, we make decisions based on those preferences, yet—as far as I can tell—we are both satisfied with our choices; why complain about a system capable of implementing a bug that doesn’t affect us?

> Can you guarantee that most of the nice features on your TV will work more than 10 years from now?

Almost certainly I can. There are both massive and minuscule communities, aftermarket solutions, and DIY makers/hackers/activists that focus on all kinds of technologies and products dating back over a hundred years. The original iPod is 25 years old and yet there are still folks making firmware updates for it. The Commodore 64 has a multitude of projects, products, communities, and marketplaces to keep the product alive — nearly fifty years after it was released! There are literally thousands of examples. Interestingly, and calling back to my original point, these kinds of secondary markets are only possible because of those products’ use of a combination of quality underlying hardware and user-updatable/modifiable software—well, and that nerds like us dig breaking things.
Somebody may come up with a new battery chemistry. There are many people trying. There are constraints other than energy density - charge rate, discharge rate, safety, lifetime, cooling, etc. Lithium-air batteries have an energy density which potentially approaches that of gasoline, but decades of work have not produced anything usable.[1]

There are, of course, small startups promising usable lithium-air batteries Real Soon Now.[2]

Yes, but as long as the journalists don't reshare the photos (or the content verbatim), they can't be traced back to you.
Having done work in hardware and software, I'm somewhat in agreement, but I'll also counterpoint.

Building software is a fast development cycle. Find bug, fix bug, compile, release, improve. Things can be done in hours or days.

Building hardware is a slow development cycle. If I think of a new feature it might take a month just to get a prototype board designed, made, populated etc. The results are cool, but the feedback cycle is slow.

For my personality, I prefer software. I can have an idea, play with it, realize it's rubbish, and discard it - all before lunch.

But people are different. So someone else might prefer the hardware cycle.

Ultimately my advice to the original question is that "it likely doesn't matter" and "you cant predict the future". Both paths lead somewhere, but you can't really "know" up front.

So choose the one that gets you out of bed faster. The one that excites you more. And in a couple years you'll be better placed to make the next decision.

What a stretch. So you're insinuating I'm racist because I don't approve of a guy being gunned down for no good reason in broad daylight by another guy who could have had a bright future, and even been a successful activist for the cause he was allegedly trying to advance. Two lives ruined, two families wrecked, and probably more to come as this is egged on.

The comparison of violent vigilantism over what is really a financial issue to a peaceful civil rights movement is so classy. You don't know what you're really supporting, and if things continue in this uncivilized trajectory, you will regret it.

And because four value logic was left out, nulls have to fulfil multiple incompatible roles, and ends up being weird.
If housing feels expensive, and there are a lot of people who would like to buy a house, then under a free market, a greedy landlord simply needs to build a 6-plex or an apartment complex to make lots of money. More people living on one plot of land should reduce costs for the individuals living there, and the landlord should still make tons of money because they are renting to, say, six families instead of one. Another greedy landlord sees this success and does something similar - the market price has been suppressed a tiny bit, but the demand is so huge and supply so low, it is barely a blip. Do this many times over, though, and we'd expect to see denser and cheaper housing over time. Landlords and developers should essentially be competing for customers by offering an attractive product (ideally, some healthy balance between good prices and good quality).

Why don't we see that happening at a meaningful scale? Because the housing market is not free - it's regulated very very badly. Where developers can build, there is a huge amount of red-tape and often a crushing process of input from neighbors - neighbors who, mind you, already own their own houses, so this new development would never be used by them. And these neighbors are also strongly incentived to keep their property values as high as possible, as owning a house has very much become an investment. It's no wonder that home owners find all kinds of reasons to say no to denser developments near their homes.

And then there's the fact that huge swathes of attractive neighborhoods are zoned for single-family homes. Developers cannot even legally consider building in such areas (and I encourage you to look into this for a city near you, it's shocking). In LA, of all the land that is zoned for residential use at all, about 75% is zoned as single-family housing. Los Angeles!

I'm not a strong proponent of the "free" market, but bad regulation is a nightmare.

Hi! Xoogler, Internet OG and energetic leader ready to jump into my next role. Whether it's a complex code base, team culture, or developer ecosystems I'm ready to take it on and launch with precision and speed!

Some highlights:

- Hands-on software engineering leader with a deep understanding of systems, from high-level architecture to low-level implementation.
- Proven ability to design and deliver elegant solutions to complex problems.
- Skilled in building and shipping high-volume services, pipelines, mobile apps, and ML models.
- Collaborative leader with experience in mentoring engineers and fostering strong teams.
- Dedicated and passionate about cultivating thriving developer communities and open-source projects.
Right, so if it costs $8 to search the space for a 16-bit key, a proper equation for the cost of cracking an n-bit key is

Cost(n) = search_space(n) * $8 / search_space(16)

And search_space(x) = 2^x so

Cost(n) = 2^n * $2^3 / 2^16 = $2^(n - 13)

Cost(32) = $2^(32 - 13) = $524288
Cost(64) = $2^(64 - 13) = $2251799813685248

So it quickly becomes astronomically expensive.

If you double the number of bits n you get

Cost(2n) = $2^(2n - 13)

You were assuming that Cost(32) = Cost(16)^2, in other words Cost(2n) = Cost(n)^2. But this equality doesn't hold:

Cost(n)^2 = $2^(n - 13)^2 = $2^(2n - 26)

This is significantly smaller than Cost(2n) = $2^(2n - 13) as stated above.

An equation with different units on each side like "512 bit = $8" doesn't work mathematically and will lead to contradictory conclusions.

>"Wouldn't social desirability bias predict that people would be reluctant to support Mangione's actions in any way which might be traced back to them personally?"

I think you inadvertently answered your question with the preceding question to this one. Because it's harder to trace back a lot (not all) of individuals from their online identities to personal identities, they're probably more willing to show support for Mangione there, than in places that trace back to them directly.

This looks amazing!

Just looking through the code a bit, it seems that the model both supports a (custom) attention mechanism between features and between rows (code uses the term items)? If so, does the attention between rows help improve accuracy significantly?

Generally, for standard regression and classification use cases, rows (observations) are seen to be independent, but I'm guessing cross-row attention might help the model see the gestalt of the data in some way that improves accuracy even when the independence assumption holds?
I think there are ~3 major battery improvements to watch out for.

1. Solid state batteries. Likely to be expensive, but promise better energy density.

2. Some really good grid storage battery. Likely made with iron or molten salt or something like that. Dirt cheap, but horrible energy density.

3. Continued Lithium ion battery improvements, e.g. cheaper, more durable etc.

> These homes would have been destroyed regardless of building material.

That's just not the case. Fire-resistant construction might not always help the first house at the subdivision's edge, but it will help the rest. One analogy is control rods in a reactor.

As I said in another post, the problem with firestorms here in CA is the rate of initial spread. We always get massive numbers of destroyed structures all at once, and <25% containment until the winds subside. The ignition source for most of the structures are burning wood-frame structures. Early on, firefighters can only help evacuate people.

> When Mobilewalla bid to place an ad for its clients on a real-time advertising bidding exchange, it unfairly collected and retained the information in the bid request, even when it didn’t have a winning bid, according to the complaint.
The FTC’s complaint alleges that from January 2018 to June 2020, Mobilewalla collected more than 500 million unique consumer advertising identifiers paired with consumers’ precise location data. The raw location data Mobilewalla collected was not anonymized and the company doesn’t have policies to remove sensitive locations from the data set, meaning that such data could be used to identify individual consumers’ mobile devices and the sensitive locations they visited. The company sold access to this raw data to third-parties, including advertisers, data brokers and analytic firms.

I understand that, but what's your point? It doesn't get less sleazy when it happens to be a cause that I like. Maybe I have terrible taste. Why should I be allowed to subject people to my terrible taste without their consent? Why should being rich increase my ability to do so?

If it's actually such a good idea it should be possible to spread it consensually--that is, unless the intervening space was weaponized against us by advertisers.

I remember reading the linked Dan Luu article [1] when it came out. It was much more even handed in addressing the question, in my opinion. In particular, he includes comparisons and analysis of specific queries. For some of them (e.g. “download YouTube video” or “ad blocker”) none of the search engines were even passable.

That’s the kind of side by side analysis you should be looking for.

The second point when people talk about Google getting worse is, is the Internet just getting worse? Maybe it’s both? Google’s interests aren’t aligned in the same way Kagi’s are, but if Kagi can’t keep blogspam out of its search results why are we blaming Google when they also fail to do so?

This is a genuinely hard problem and it’s interesting so I might take a look into it when I get a chance.
