The problem is that there's a finite number of writers of substantive articles; the strategy used by these trolls-in-chief is to overload these writers by conducting a blitzkrieg of events. By preventing substantive articles from being created for each event, they benefit the lack of public discourse that occurs for each singular event.

Thus I feel like youre right in everything youve said, but your decision is exactly what the trolls were hoping for. I think part of it is the design of hackernews threads; I think the old internet 1.0 forum style would be better suited for today's discourse. Having a dozen stickied threads for each of the executive orders inside of a sub forum for "news and events", for example.

The old 1.0 forums went by the wayside for good reasons, but the current upvote style has been in place for a long enough time now for bad actors to learn the strategies that manipulate the upvote system. IMO there's a need for a new forum style to replace the upvote/article based system.

> it's described as a wall, not a force that gradually grows stronger as you get closer. Forces don't work at distance like that.

It's described as a wall because it's not just running a straight line. The PP line creates an archway where the "wall" is located. That's where the field is most intense. It's noticeable elsewhere but that's the point where as indicated in the paper they can no longer push through it.

> You also have to suspend disbelief and imagine this force field didn't impact the equipment itself. We're supposed to believe that a grown man can't push up against the field at a distance away from the source, but the plastic film and machinery inside of the field are continuing to operate as usual?

This is also addressed in the paper. The lines can run 50-100% faster than it normally does but the faster they run it the more problematic the interference is. So during normal operation they limited it to 750-1000fpm.

Github isn't leveraging a (theoretically) separate 501(c)(3) non-profit to attack a specific competitor.
Yes! Good times, probably.
StackOverflow was in a downward spiral regardless. Without LLMs, it would take a few more years, but nothing would change. Their content moderation policies were poor, driving people away.
At first glance the "masterpieces" looked like a crap ton of lines and circles around a sketched shell or butterfly. You know, the kind you see when you tell Stable Diffusion to "sketch". Then I watched the video for a sec... WOAH!!! He is talking about a "formula" quite a bit... ctrl-f "formula" == 0 results.

This is not for consumer GPUs, though. I don't think you can that easily order large numbers of H100s as a random company. And presumably at some point Nvidia will stop doing business with you (at the very least) if you keep reselling them to other countries while violating export restrictions.
There is an interesting contrast in the history of the Rabbinic Jewish oral tradition. In that academic environment, the act of memorizing the greatest amount of content was valorized. The super-memorizers, however, were a rung below those who could apply those memorized aphorisms to a different context and generate a new interpretation or ruling. The latter relied on the former to have accurately memorized all the precedents, but got most of the credit, despite having a lower capacity for memorization.

That's probably why the act of shifting from an oral to a written culture was deeply controversial and disruptive, but also somewhat natural. Though the texts we have are written and so they probably make the transition seem more smooth than it was really was. I don't know enough to speak to that.

Some Garmin devices have a speaker and microphone so you can take a voice call using it as a Bluetooth device linked to your phone.

You can also reply to text messages with a limited set of canned responses on Android phones only. This doesn't work on iPhones because Apple has intentionally blocked third-party smart watches from being allowed to use that API in a particularly monopolistic and consumer-hostile move.

Automattic is not contributing 8% of their revenue to PHP. (Nor MySQL, Apache, or all the other bits of free labor they're similarly built off.)
I don't really see why those companies would prefer AMD over Nvidia, they are not hurting for money and therefore able to spend that money on Nvidia or build their own hardware, like Google did.

Meta and Microsoft are big enough they could just build their own TPUs with a stable software stack and cut off Nvidia and AMD at the same time.

From this perspective, AMD only ever makes sense as an "also ran company" for a few niche use cases.
I think firmly marrying llms with symbolic math calculator/database, so they can check things they don't really know "by heart" would go a long way towards making them seem smart.

Not that this helps retroactively, but the proper SQLite that's in fact already inside the Deno binary (rusqlite) will soon be usable from JS/TS when https://github.com/denoland/deno/pull/27308 is landed, as opposed to the several somewhat hacky third-party FFI/Wasm packages, one of which you presumably tried.

Illegal content risk assessment for my self-hosted single-user Mastodon instance
When I was ~15 and this was ~2004, some friends and I ran a forum with a lot of users and did some bad things where we would track down repeat banned users and screw with them. (In our defense, they were screwing with us.)

We used everything, from browser fingerprinting (and EFF only made the world aware of it 6 years later), looking them up in databases, tracing every digital evidence they left, etc.

Every little thing counted. What I learned is that people leave a lot of traces and you can collect these traces to dox them. The way you write is even sometimes fairly identifiable.
These aphorisms also don't improve things. There are actual barriers to trying something; if your suggestion doesn't clear them then yes, it's no point trying that suggestion.
You are not allowing a broader discussion on this by having it flagged. I asked you how a discussion on ethics and symbolism doesn't fall under "intellectual curiosity" in a other reply. It's difficult to not come to the conclusion that you support Elon Musk and approve of his behavior. Calling it "celebrity trolling" is the cherry on top.

On Elon Musk:

- By most measures one of the richest and most influential persons in the world

- Owner of X

- OG member of the PayPal mafia

- Spent millions on Trump's election

- Official member of the new administration

- Makes two (not one) Nazi salutes on public television

But no, discussing what this means or implies does not satisfy one's intellectual curiosity.
Haha yeah I thought about this. But I guess everyone has a different idea about a bad cause. But yes a next version of this would let you select from a few different organisations.
If you're a FinTech startup with 2 years under your belt, you have the latitude to adopt whatever you want provided it pays the bills (read: satisfies debt repayments).

You're already mired in deep inefficiencies with GraphQL and Vue, why not double down? You don't need to make a profit you just need to repay your debt until you exit.

You're under no obligation to pass savings onto your investors. Might as well do things as questionably as possible at all levels of stack.

It's not like they're going to call you out on poor engineering decisions so why worry about the details? Do whatever they think is "cool" and "neat", take their money, and when things look dire sell to a larger company who can absorb your losses. Just like everyone else.
This makes so much more sense than the labels in the USA.
Satoshi's possible home IP address actually did leak shortly after Bitcoin's release, though it wasn't realized until years later.

(I don't advocate attempting to find and publish his name and address, since it'd make his life difficult, but it's still very interesting in the abstract as a curious unsolved mystery for all these years despite the number of eyes on it.)
If you want to extend the analogy, Gus Fring's threat model for RFP contractors at the superlab required flying people into the United States and driving them for days before reaching the final destination. i.e. If you aren't selected for the final proposal, the most you should know is the lab is "somewhere reachable by driving from the United States".

Locating the superlab to within 800 miles would break Gus' threat model.

Combined with the information the police have, which is that a new form of "blue meth" is spreading across the American southwest, a reasonable conclusion would be that the "underground superlab" is where the meth is being manufactured. It's independent corrobation of a major manufacturing operation occurring in the United States in the exact region where a new drug is taking off.

This is useful, since it helps rule out the meth being smuggled in from Mexico. It also makes the lab a high priority target, because a DEA agent investigating doesn't need to liaise with a foreign government, and you can secure a domestic prosecution + American prison time instead of attempting to extradite the cooks.

It also allows me to send a detailed memo about the superlab to ASAC Schrader's office in Albuquerque telling him about a threat in his jurisdiction, rather than circulating a brief summary about this superlab in the weekly intelligence briefing sent to all high-ranking DEA officials they probably don't read.

Yes I think the smartphone is an instance of "Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.", when tech had higher constraints there was more thought put into determining what was essential.

When I want to put on headphones to do chores around the house I pick up my 2006-era iPod. No wireless pairing to screw with, no distracting notifications, just a library of music I've already listened to a hundred times so I can just think, which of these albums am I in the mood for, and choose. The interface is simple to navigate because there's just not much to navigate, and IMO that goes a long way to have a predictable experience that never introduces frustration.
Again, I haven’t yet tested it. But I’d like to hear what community has to say with relevance to that about my direction with the solution I’d been working on.
Interesting. That definitely makes sense.
Even simpler if just looking after oneself: keep the receipts, make the accounting YEARLY.

I have a whole food, plant-based diet and I cook all my own food. I don't buy any processed food, anything with anything animal in it, refined sugar, refined oils (except olive oil for the air fryer), refined carbohydrates, things preserved with salt/vinegar/oil or any stimulants. For B12 I eat Marmite (UK). Most of what I eat is that rare thing: fresh vegetables.

Because I eat almost everything (sometimes there are bad apples), I throw very little away and that includes packaging too, where I am surprised at how little that amounts to. I have a small box for recycling and I only have to empty it ever two to three months.

I could cheat and not keep the receipt on a huge box of chocolates, beer and biscuits but I would only be fooling myself.

As for bread, I just buy flour and yeast, to put it in the breadmaking machine. I buy wholemeal flour which is white flour with some of the stripped off parts of the wheat thrown back in. I am happy with that compromise as it makes a very nice loaf.

Apart from Marmite, nothing I buy has much of an ingredients label, a cauliflower is a cauliflower and has no ingredients.

The receipts are my way of accounting, I could look at them all for the last year and buy everything I need that is shelf-stable for the year ahead.

Mayonnaise used to be something I did eat a lot of, but now that is on the banned list, and I have no idea why I would ever want to eat that stuff nowadays.

I eat to satiety and beyond, my physical activity consists of walking/cycling and I am fitter than I have ever been with a digestive tract that is rock solid. Bloating, constipation or the runs are alien conditions to me, I also get a 'long range bladder' into the deal.

I don't count calories, my goal is to get as many as possible from just vegetables, beans, legumes, nuts, grains and fruit. I love cooking and my 'self care' routine. Since there are seasons, my food always changes, right now spring greens are floating my boat.

The idea of keeping the receipts is to have all of them with no banned items in them, and also to track my nutrition experiments. At the moment I am trying to do a year long streak of 'an apple a day' to see what that is about.

Regarding counting macronutrients, why bother? Nobody counts fibre, which is crucial for the lower gut, with protein we eat 2x in the West and nobody is counting phytochemicals in plants beyond the 'five a day' thing. With the exception of bread, everything I eat counts towards the 'five a day' so I am probably on twenty portions of fruit or veg a day, not that I am counting.

I don't mind people wanting to diet to fit into a dress for a special event, that is something that works for them, albeit with yoyoing. I want to be at my fittest during the summer months, to go cycling, and, during winter, I don't care. In this way I am embracing yoyoing, however, my weight does not go up over winter, I just lose some muscle, to get it back again during spring.
Interesting you touched on his age. I got extremely curious, why did the OP did such a flex?(assumming they are telling the truth). The first sentence is such a weird brag that it felt suspicious. The report is highly technical and extremely well written. We're either dealing with a pure genious or a fraud. But why would a genious flex? Doesn't make sense.
Now that you mention it, I weirdly never struggled with this. I wonder if it's because I first started using the terminal on macOS, which I think by default starts prompts with % instead of $ or >.

Trying to consciously think about the gut-feeling that makes me remember this, all I can come up with is that $ feels "heavier" than ^, which just leads it to naturally feel like the end of a line. Perhaps its verticalness makes it feel like the vertical blinking cursor, and that's what this gut-feeling is really about? I'm not sure, the mind is a mystery sometimes haha.

Once again, you ignore that all of my examples were of biological men entering women's spaces and activities.

> So you are trading one form of dehumanization for another

It's not even close to dehumanizing. Concentration camps are dehumanizing. War is dehumanizing. Genocide is dehumanizing. Requiring Angel to use an appropriate restroom is at most an inconvenience (for Angel).

Angel wasn't born this way. Angel's decision, motivated by desire and/or delusion, to undergo surgical and chemical alterations was made deliberately and affirmatively. And thus Angel should bear the consequences of those decisions. Angel doesn't have the right to reorder society's customs, culture, and rules as a result of those decisions. (And I would argue these kind of anatomical disfigurement is far more "dehumanizing" than being asked to use a unisex bathroom.)

I'll also note that it is telling that you've chosen as the trans exemplar in this discussion a pornographer and fetishist whose behaviors and values are wildly out of line with the mainstream of society.

> We routinely set policy based on voices our representatives hear in their heads they believe to be the voice of God

Straw man, and also, false. [1] It is obvious that no delusional person has the right to reorder society's customs, culture, and laws. Or are you arguing that we must take all delusional people seriously in order to placate trans-people?

[1] Bush had to follow the rules by going to Congress to make his case for war. The basis of the case presented to Congress was not "the voice of god".
But isn't the $ usually at the end of the prompt? :)
100% agree that HVAC techs are not going to do energy modeling. That's not really their role and I'd expect you to have to contract it to someone else. It's like asking a transport pilot to sign FAA certification paperwork. Design load calculations are more a part of the A/E design process than an installer task.

>they are most definitely out of question for home owners

Maybe the general home owner, but my comment was geared towards the HN crowd. I think running an energy model is within the grasp of most tech-savvy people if they have the inclination. Again, it depends on the accuracy you want. Even Excel can be used for a bin energy model approach (and is even advocated for in some commercial energy auditing texts as a suitable approach for of ASHRAE Level II audits). For example, eQUEST is free from the DoE and there are plenty of tutorials out there.

Edit: for anyone interested, this link gives an example of spreadsheet load calculations for residential applications (scroll to "ResLoad22")

That's basically normal for unconditioned factory spaces in the US south during the summer. Ungodly hot, ungodly humid, and generally just shit to exist inside.

This is in large part why historically industrialized factories tended to be concentrated in colder, higher latitude regions until the 20th century. Without refrigeration the work was far harder and more exhausting for the workers and that limited efficient use of labor.
I think the second point in the article is the main reason - compensation from Big Tech changes the financial equation considerably. There's still a lot of upsides to starting a startup (as well as plenty of downsides), but the financial upsides are lessened compared to working in tech, and the opportunity cost of giving up a Big Tech salary is huge.
Why has Signal even enabled caching for those URLs? The most common case is going to be that the attachment is downloaded once, and that's it.

I would even expect that Signal wouldn't allow you to download it more than once, and would immediately delete it after the first successful download. Well, ok, maybe the client fails mid-way through, so allow some grace period for a re-download. But I can't imagine that would be the common case either, and so disabling caching on their CDN would fix this issue, and hopefully not increase their costs much.

At any rate, "deanonymization" is a bit clickbaity here. Narrowing someone's location to within 250 miles or so isn't great, but it doesn't deanonymize them.

Edit: I didn't think about the case where an attachment is sent to a group chat, where multiple people will be downloading it. But in that case wouldn't the attachment be encrypted individually for each person in the group? I'm not sure how this works, of course.
Fellow user of a physical Garmin car navigation GPS. The one I use is my dad's old Nuvi from about 2015.

In addition to several of the pros you listed, I'd add a few more:

- Stupid-simple interface. I was a Google Maps user for a while, and I was not a fan of various popups (from "Welcome to <state name>" to "Is this speed trap still here?"). I'm piloting a several-thousand-pound hunk of metal at highway speeds, do NOT interrupt me!

- Unchanging interface. I'd get used to the way Google Maps behaved, and then an update would change something and break muscle memory. Whereas my 2015 Garmin isn't getting updated with unnecessary animations and pointless button re-arranging. When updating maps, the firmware update is a separate download. Since it's not Internet-connected, I don't care if I'm running "outdated" software. As long as it still gives directions, that's all I want.

- It's not my phone. I don't want my text messages coming up across the top of the screen while I'm trying to read the next turn on my route. I don't want anything on the screen that's not directly related to navigation.

It's a great example of KISS in a hardware product. It does GPS navigation. It is literally incapable of distracting you with anything else. I consider that a killer feature.
Note that CF will also route relative to the sites' plan. Enterprise sites are almost always routed to the closest DC, while if that DC is overloaded then lower tier websites, typically just Free sites, will get routed elsewhere (I suppose this is achieved via different anycast ranges where a specific DC is excluded). Although Discord, Signal, etc are almost certainly Enterprise sites.

I have this old site to test this (the list of sites is a bit old): https://cloudflare-test.judge.sh/
