Does this matter if the "vibe" is correct?

Let's all just take a moment to remember that today is inauguration day.
Noticeably treating a coworker differently because of your beliefs about their gender identity is not a balanced and pragmatic solution.
This take seems to project a massive amount (of negative falsehood) onto Paul Graham's essay. As I read his essay, Paul Graham does not care one wit about the gender (trans or otherwise) of an individual. He is explicitly criticising those who create arbitrary rules (e.g., the term LatinX) that don't actually serve society but instead serve as virtue signals.

If you are competent, you'll be able to find employment. Yes, discrimination exists, but if there is an abundance of talented trans people, someone is going to exploit that talent pool (by hiring) in an efficient market economy.

Frankly, the author seems a bit egotistical. Being transgender has nothing to do with being woke. People like Paul Graham criticising wokeness are not criticising transgenderism. His essay is not about you (and nobody reading his essay should interpret it in anyway as being against you).
Astronomical seeing severely limits the efficacy of even multi-million dollar telescopes. The size of the pixels in this image is ~0.2 arcseconds, which is far below typical seeing limits even in excellent conditions.

> AMD appears to have between little and no strategic interest in consumer grade graphics cards having strong GPGPU support leading to random crashes from the kernel drivers and a certain attitude of "meh, whatever" from AMD corporate when dealing with that.

AMD has little interest in software support in general.

I'm a little sad that Ruff took off as a re-implementation of a whole bunch of work that was already done, rather than as a project to improve the work that was already done.

It was nice to be able to write little extra linters or flake8 plugins in the language I was linting. Plus decades of effort had gone into making those plugins pretty great, finding the right separation of linting codes so that the right things could be linted/ignored per codebase.

I understand why they did it, and they have done it remarkably well, but "rewrite it from scratch" is almost never the best answer and part of me wonders if this result could have been even better achieved another way.
Mandatory recommendation of the Gigapixels of Andromeda [4K] [1] video/version. Especially with this particular song(!), as the 8K version [2] has a different one which doesn't really give the chills... Although, 60fps makes the image much better. Maybe combine the song from [1] with the video from [2]...

The source picture is the 1.5 gigapixels version (69.536 x 22.230 pixels).

Fun fact: watching the video on certain TV's makes them flicker wildly. Probably because they struggle with many dots in motion. On a monitor it works flawlessly.

Using WordPress.org services isn't some rogue hotlink, it's hardcoded into the WordPress source code. And Matt explicitly refuses to add a config option to switch servers[1] - you have to manually patch WP to do so.

Legally, he may be in the right (I'm not a lawyer and I'm not going to pretend like I can accurately predict the outcome of the ongoing lawsuit), but morally I think I can reasonably say that Matt is pretty squarely in the wrong when he's trying to abuse WP.org services to blackmail WP Engine out of 8% of their revenue.

Trump signs executive order withdrawing from the World Health Organization
I'm very happy with pyright. Most bug reports are fixed within a week and new peps/features are added very rapidly usually before pep is accepted (under experimental flag). Enough that I ended up dropping pylint and consider pyright enough for lint purposes as well. The most valuable lints for my work require good multi-file/semantic analysis and pylint had various false positives.

Main tradeoff is this only works if your codebase/core dependencies are typed. For a while that was not true and we used pylint + pyright. Eventually most of our code is typed and we added type stubs for our main untyped dependencies.

edit: Also on pylint, it did work well mostly. tensorflow was main library that created most false positives. Other thing I found awkward was occasionally pylint produces non-deterministic lints on my codebase.
I wish match.com did more to prevent spam accounts.

My step father passed away in 2018. My mother was grieving and isolated during COVID and turned to match.com.

She was scammed out of a lot of money. It still blows my mind how much money she gave away.

But the more I consider her situation, the more I realize match.com doesn’t have the correct incentives to pursue and destroy spam accounts.
The takeover and renaming of a third party extension and subsequent updates which released previously paid features was a huge shock.

Add on top of that Matt claimed that WordPress.org is his personal website, so neither it nor the official plug-in repository are under the control of the foundation (unless he's walked back that claim since I last paid attention).

There's still going to be plenty of users, but a lot of trust has been lost, and a lot of users are now looking for alternatives.
Indeed. Anything else is just asking for trouble.

CI must only be an application of tools available to developers locally.

This, other than for practical reasons, is a tax on complexity.
The Crusades did help quite a bit actually. They reconquered quite a bit of territory and regained a lot of influence. They would have gained far more if they had not withdrawn from Antioch.

The Fourth Crusade was of course a disaster, but the only way it could have been successful was because they had weakened themselves internally so much, and that wasn't because of the crusades.
3D-Cache blows Intel out of the water and has absolutely nothing to do with TSMC. Same goes for the clever chiplet design.
> The "speech" in question is providing ammunition for the owners of the algorithms, who are doing the most important expression through how those algorithms are tuned.

Maybe. Or maybe the algorithmic nudges are small (because if they're any bigger they get noticed and become counterproductive), and most of the real signal gets through. Maybe the actual speech matters more.

> It makes strategically sense for US to not have Chinese nuclear weapons/social media deployed on its soil/in the heads of its citizens; regardless of whether US nuclear weapons/social media is morally superior.

At first-order yes. But I think the US has a lot more to lose from a worldwide atomisation of social media. If this kind of thing is normalised then the EU etc. practically have to kick out US social media and we'll end up with everyone having their own great firewall, and that will hurt the US more than it hurts China.

There's just no way for a lot of people to efficiently get out of poverty without kidnapping and ransoming someone, it would take a lot of effort.

Sure and some % of those know it is a mess by its attributes - uptime, opex, features, release cadence, customer satisfaction, etc.

While generally a much higher % "know" it by which of their underlings whispered into their ear last.

help.autocorrect_enabled_or_accept_after_dsec? A name scary enough to convince anyone who uses it to read the docs.
It's a stretch to call YouTube a social network along with the messaging apps. Facebook & Instagram are two products by the same company where social identity is literally shared across them. If your top tier is Meta + Chinese apps then we're just going to have to disagree.

Please don’t spread misinformation. OpenAI didn’t cheat on FrontierMath. They have access to the questions, same as MMLU, MATHD, GPQA, ARC-AGI and pretty much every eval. Sure, we could all be lying, but it would be pretty self defeating, horrible for employee morale, and quickly discovered.

> It's not a left versus right issue, not really. Most of the feminists arguing against gender self-id are on the left.

In the sense that the vast majority of all feminists of any kind are on the left? Is there such a thing as a rightwing feminist? JK Rowling?

> This isn't a gotcha either. When the horrific outcomes of males being transferred into women's prisons is brought up, it's typically being done to explain why gender self-id policy is so harmful to women.

This is literally the point I was trying to make about these types of conversations. It's extremely tempting to argue with your blanket assertions of 'detriment to [other] women and girls', but now instead of talking about the person in the article's very real concern about being discriminated against while working or even being attacked while socializing, we're talking about some extreme hypothetical about women's prisons.

Also, it's weird how often people are completely silent about the treatment of female prisoners... until it's related to transgender issues. Or female athletes for that matter. If you were actually worried about it, there are probably bigger fish to fry.
Great, that already happened. The U.S. has been energy independent since 2019[1].

I think what people are actually looking for here are government handouts. The only countries with cheaper gas are ones who heavily subsidize prices.

Blame Guido. Until recently when he was bought out by Microsoft, he had been the primary blocker of higher Python performance. There were a bunch of attempts at adding a JIT to Python but Guido was more interested in splitting hairs over syntax than any real heavy lifting. Python could have been as performant as LuaJIT or V8 but their dictator ruined it. Python need more Mike Palls.
When i talk to people it seems like they know but they just dont care. They even think their phones are listening to their conversations to target ads.
No, unless by "wealthy" you mean that the average student at Stanford/Berkeley/MIT doesn't come from a poor family.

My experience is primarily with Palantir. Almost all the founders I know worked together at Palantir, went into business to work on problems they first encountered at Palantir, got angel investment from wealthy early Palantir employees, and got connected to institutional funding through those wealthy Palantir investors.
> Copyright law is pretty clear on commissioned work, you are the holder, if your employee violated copyright and you failed to do your due diligence before publication, then you are responsible.

No, for commissioned work in the usual sense the person you commissioned from is the copyright holder; you might have them transfer the copyright to you as part of your contract with them but it doesn't happen by default. It is in no way your responsibility to "do due diligence" on something you commissioned from someone, it is their responsibility to produce original work and/or appropriately license anything they based their work on. If your employee violates copyright in the course of working for you then you might be responsible for that, but that's for the same reason that you might be responsible for any other crimes your employee might commit in the course of working for you, not because you have some special copyright-specific responsibility.
I'm extremely disillusioned by the number of people in tech who are supporting Trump despite things like this.
> Realistically no amount of weapons the west supplies Ukraine is going to enable them to push the Russians out of Ukraine.

OK, general. I wasn’t aware of your military credentials. Russia is about 12 months away from completely exhausting all of its Soviet stockpiles of (tens of thousands of) vehicles and artillery, and their war economy is already unable to sustain production at replacement rates.

On the contrary, it’s only a matter of time.
pg doesn't own HN and is not "obviously a fan" of Elon. Where do you guys get this stuff?

I seem to recall they even had a spat on Twitter the other day, which was highly out of character for one of them.

You don't have to "be a fan of pg" in order to post on HN. That should be clear from any thread that mentions him.
Not a lawyer, but I'd suspect the prime target would be "anchor babies", e.g. children born to parents here illegally.
Prettier can do HTML CSS and JS but I don't think there's any one tool that can do it all. (It would be interesting if there were something like a tree sitter for auto formatting)

Ask HN: State of the Art in Video Stabilization?
I know of Hyperlapse Pro, which did some kind of 3D reconstruction of the scene to stabilize a video, Hyperlapse Mobile which just does frame selection (but still works very well), and LocalRF [0] which seems to use NeRFs to construct a smoothed video. But all are relatively old given the rapid rate of improvement in AI and computer graphics, and all are hard to run. (Hyperlapse pro only runs on windows, hyperlapse mobile is no longer on the play store, and I have no idea how to run localrf.)

There is also Gyroflow [1] which does a great job using gyroscope data, but the results are not as spectacular as those discussed above. What is the modern state of the art?

I like that it's fast, and it is noticeably faster for even moderately sized codebases.

But the main thing I like about ruff is that it is a single tool with consistent configuration, as opposed to a combination of several different tools for formatting and linting that each have their own special way of configuring them and marking exceptions to lint rules.
There are a few Chinese EVs available widely in Australia (BYD, MG, and recently Zeekr) that all conform to Australian Design Rules (ADR), which have been "harmonised" with the European ones for a while. So, most likely this would get the vehicles pretty close to passing the US safety rules, though they'd still have to go through testing and certification.
This site seems to have some javascript that prevents text selection, even with plugins like StopTheMadness that should allow text selection everywhere.

If ATC put them straight into a Mountain, would it be correct to dutifully fly into it, or would that be an error on the pilot side?

My understanding is that Pilots are also required to review NOTAMs. There are tons of systems and operations with redundancy built in. An error in the primary does not negate an error in the backup. In fact, it is often the only way you learn of errors with the backup.
So now you're arguing that it's all kamala harris and those darn leftist's fault for bringing up trans rights and if they had just shut up, everything would be peachy keen?

Link Site Prototype: A Full Website Encoded in a URL
I'm talking about popularity, not profitability. These are two vastly different things. That Twitter failed to convert its platform to become the advertising behemoths that Google and Facebook are is a failure of its business strategy and execution. The social network itself remained extremely popular and from your article:

> Twitter has 421 million monthly active users, adding 20 million in 2023

It's as popular is its ever been, however, there's been some rotation in demographics I suspect.
This doesn’t really work when you start sharding tests.
I've made an egregious error. The Y Combinator leadership has expressed a lot of firm, unequivocal opposition to Donald Trump personally, and I have little doubt that they oppose his anti-immigration policies. Ironically it's because I use no social media, so I don't see these battles play out. I sincerely always liked the organization and its leadership, and I think I was victim to a particular drive-by accusation. Also, it seems like most of the venture capital leadership elsewhere, including powerful S&P500 chief executives, have eagerly collaborated, but it is wrong to generalize.
Once in >5 years is nothing like a SaaS, especially since it's such a tiny part of a product. Even with the traditional software there'd be no guarantee it would keep working for longer than that, e.g. on new OS versions, especially with more specialized software which is a lot of the market for such things.
