The interesting thing about his experience, though, is that he had the clout (and foresight?) to craft the deal so that he was merely licensing his models to Disney, and ever since he left, Disney has not been able to use them (well, for some of the sports-related ones, Disney was permitted to keep a copy, but not benefit from further work on it).

So Silver still seems to have the rights to the important stuff that made FiveThirtyEight what it was. He can (and has been) more or less building a new version of it, using all his old IP as a base.
The ACLs might look a bit scary at first, but they are actually quite intuitive once you coded up a rule or two.

It basically works by tagging machines (especially those deployed with an API key) and grouping users. Then you set up rules which allow groups and tags can communicate with each other on specific ports. Since the default rule is DENY, you only need to specify rules for communication you actually want to allow.

For instance you would create a tag for `servers` and a group for `sre`. Then you setup an ACL rule like this to allow SRE to ssh into servers:

"action": "accept",
"src": ["group:sre"],
"dst": ["tag:server:22"]

Because there is no rule with `group:sre` in `src` and `dst`, SREs cannot connect to each others machines.

The tailscale docs are really good. And the videos they have are a great starting point if you dont come from a networking background.

Ollama works fine with multi-gpu setups. Since rocm 6.3 everything is stable and you can mix different GPU generations. The performance is good enough for the models to be useful.

The only thing which doesn't work well is running on iGPUs. It might work but it's very unstable.

>They are a product of the underlying system governing a country. The US has very strong institutions and legal framework in the form of the constitution

Thought experiment: swap Americans with a country that is dysfunctional, the result would be that there would be only a marginal improvement in the quality of living for the swapped population. On the other hand the originally dysfunctional country with the new Americans occupants will soon strengthen the institutions and legal framework.

The point I'm trying to make is that institutions and legal framework are far less relevant compared to the personal ethics of the population at large.

538 hasn't really been 538 since Silver left, as Disney lost the rights to Silver's models (he maintained ownership of them) at that point. I'm honestly not too sad over the ABC News version of 538 folding; Silver's own continuing work will fill the niche that the old-school 538 flled.
oooohh we're all gonna die.
>With this, there is a loss of a large culture of game boxes.

Where have you been living? Big-box releases of PC games have been dead for at least 10-15 years now since digital downloads like Steam took over and people stopped queuing en-mass for midnight launches of physical copies.

Only special editions still come in boxes now but those are mostly for AAA games and for enthusiasts and collectors of the franchises as they come with a hefty markup.

Hi Everyone!!

Having worked on a lot of AI models, we always wanted to improve the ease at which people can access multiple models from the same console. With our rich experience in AI, we have built TypeThinkAI. Our mission is to help individuals and businesses to fully leverage AI’s potential with simplicity, versatility, and efficiency at the heart of our innovation.
Why is it an American interest to help the Chinese with their air pollution if they don't want to do it themselves? You are literally doing the meme from the famous https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-019-12227-0 paper.
Yeah, this is why IMO there should be more project-based work and just move faster and harder for skilled students in general.

Get students to build their own drone with MCUs - so they're forced to overcome challenges and practical trade-offs.

Introduce algebra in primary school, and calculus much earlier - so Green's functions, etc. can be taught in high school to those who want to study mathematics, and they feel what it's like to struggle to master concepts early on.

Hopefully with more of a shift to online courses and AI, this will be possible. Unfortunately the majority of schools just act more like a daycare centre / prison.

This would add about two cents to a disk, so it's just being used as an excuse.
So, how does it compares to matrix/element?
Noone would expect it to be slower.
In what way?

First thought: If a sports team is not playing well, do you mail in coaching advice?

I elaborated a bit here, though: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43254469
So you have the chance to redesign Discord and you decide to stick with the unicorn-puking emoji-littered eye-scorching UX/UI garbage that Discord is? Interesting.

As much as I enjoy writing and teaching, it feels like a fruitless endeavor when your content doesn't get any visibility. I've written on Twitter, Bluesky, and self-hosted my own blogs (I've even been front-paged on HN before), and each time I give up eventually because it's so hard to build a consistent readerbase.

Of course, I’m self-aware enough to recognize that it might be because my writing is terrible or because I’m covering topics no one cares about. But the point is, I don’t blame people for posting on Twitter instead of going through the effort of setting up a blog. The vast majority of written content gets little to no reach, so choosing the platform with the lowest barrier to entry makes the most sense.

I'm old enough to remember an internet before non-porn ads. Being Hacker News, does someone have any hard idea on infrastructure costs in the late 1990s compared to now?

In 1997, when America Online went from an hourly rate to unlimited hours for $20/month. Besides adult ads, I remember a lot of "work from home/get rich quick" ads - and that's all I can personally remember. Almost every forum and community I can remember were serious labors of love, especially the early "hacker" communities. But, we lost that internet a long time ago. I, personally, would love for an internet that could emulate those early years of being able to log in, communicate, and make friends with random, sometimes sketchy, weirdos, all within 45 seconds of dialing up. There weren't algorithms that decided who was important and who wasn't, you just had your words and wits.

That was a tangent, but my point is - would the internet improve or decline if there was a serious "adpocalypse"?
Well, my ThinkPad P14 Gen5 is pretty much this. Small, lightweight, 64gig RAM, 2TB SSD, and a pretty darn good screen. But yeah it's black and has a coating and you won't feel like a genius machinist when you touch it, plus no apple logo, so I guess Apple wins again. How do they keep doing it?
The instrumentation is there. The personnel who run it are still there. All we're talking about is collecting and sharing the data. This cut will save chump change at best. Why take it down?

Honestly, I think Trump is sending a deliberate message here and in a thousand other ways. If you trust the U.S. or rely on the U.S. for anything, no matter how tiny, the new U.S. is going to screw you. It doesn't matter if it was a mutually beneficial collaboration. The U.S. is happy to screw themselves in the process of screwing you. You can't bargain with them. Nothing you say or do will matter. They are going to hurt you because that is the U.S.'s new policy towards it's friends and especially its allies.

Trump is not being selfish or putting America's interests first. He's putting someone else's interests above those of the country he ostensibly serves. A lot of what he's doing makes absolutely no sense until you view it this way, and then it all makes sense.
Needs StableDiffusion as a copilot alternative!
That is a good point. Given that its' just the network, not the actual data collection that has been turned off, I wonder what it would cost to turn it back on. It's not going to be free, but it also can't be that expensive.

Given the current US administration you kinda have to wonder how long it will take for Elon Musk to suggest replacing the existing network with StarLink, to save on cost of course.
Based on the other examples of random inputs not being sufficient, I dare say the fish-based attempt may have been fraudulent.
I mean, if you are looking for a Discord alternative, isn't the design/UX part of what you're looking for? If you want something that is the opposite of what you describe, IRC still exists and works well, but not sure many end-users would call it an alternative to Discord.

Why these specifically? Why Poland and not Slovakia, Romania or Moldova that also neighbor Ukraine? These countries have much weaker conventional defenses than Poland, further increasing the importance of something like nuclear weapons.

I would go even further. All countries that used to be part of the USSR and got violated by USSR for decades without any external help would be wise to develop at least the capability. In secret if need be.

Why would you need it for? Not gaming for sure. AI, you say? Then fork up the cash.

That's Nvidia's current MO. There's more demand for GPUs for AI than there are GPUs available, and most of that demand still has stupid amounts of money behind it (being able to get grants, loans or investment based on potential/hype) - money that can be captured by GPU vendors. Unfortunately, VRAM is the perfect discriminator between "casual" and "monied" use.

(This is not unlike the "SSO tax" - single sign-on is pretty much the perfect discriminator between "enterprise use" and "not enterprise use".)

I feel like somehow my big Linux desktop with a Ryzen 7950X and 64 GB of ram feels less "snappy" than my M2 Macbook Air running Asahi when doing lightweight tasks, despite the big Ryzen being obviously much better at compilation and stuff. I'm not sure why and my guess was the RAM latency. But maybe I misconfigured something in my Arch Linux...
That and I assume if its open-source you can make clients that look like whatever you'd want.
What is the point of disallowing without policing?
There's something seriously wrong is you can't open Chrome + Firefox even with 8GB of RAM...

No, they won't go to war over it. But it'll be the end of the post war consensus, probably the end of NATO. It's a cliff, once you go over it there's no coming back.
> you get the benefits of loading out your laptop with 64GB RAM etc

If RAM is all you need on a M_ air type of machine sure, but the selling/buying point of apple silicon's unified memory is mainly around GPU/memory bandwidth at a low energy consumption level, which is yet to be rivaled (maybe AMD recently took steps towards there). If one's workload optimises for CPU-only and very high RAM, apple silicon was and probably will be the worst choice cost-wise.

Also, for me, the no-no reason for snapdragon x elites until now is having to use windows, plus, as it turned out, the early unreliability of the actual products sold by laptop manufacturers.

But the market has opened up, so prob we will see more competition towards there, which is great. Apple's good but not doing anything magic that others cannot eventually do to some extent. Though I am far more optimistic for AMD than Qualcomm tbh.
I also use ledger/hledger to process a decade of finances. I reconcile once a year when doing taxes. I have multiple python scripts orchestrated with org-mode to generate reports/plots. I run them in separate processes since they are independent, which makes it fast enough (seconds).

> Taking a stand against riots is one of those easy-win political options that costs nothing and almost everyone agrees with. Riots are fundamentally ineffective; I doubt anyone serious wants to be associated with rioters. I suppose stranger things happen.

In full fairness "riots" is what its called when the rioters lose. If they win they are usually called something more positive and celebrated by the resulting new regime.

Show HN: I created a minimalist bulletin board
Hello HN!

I prototyped this minimalist bulletin board.
I would love some feedback. I also invite everybody to try and hack the board so I can improve the site security.
Yeah, no I understand it sounds trivial and "it's just air quality sensor data" but it's less about what the actual data is about, and more about the intention of publishing something.

I agree that the quest for truth should always trump whatever politics are going on in a country, but the common person doesn't really have that "science" mindset so a lot of the population at large would see something like that as infringement on sovereignty, no matter if what's being spread is true or not.
I prefer IRC over Discord any day but it's very hard to convince other people not familiar with it to make a move away from Discord to it.

When people get used to certain features they generally don't want to give them up.
That poll was in August of 2016. A lot changed between then and election day. Obviously we can't know if Clinton really would have had a 15 point lead on the day that poll was taken, because no official vote was taken. You may think it's implausible that it could have been true, but you're just some rando on the internet, what do you know? (Same with me!)

> intended to suppress Trump voters into thinking they were not the majority (when in fact they were

Depends on what you mean by "majority". If you're just talking about Wisconsin and that specific poll, sure Trump voters ended up being in the majority, but we can't say with any certainty what that situation was in early August. Polls like that one are the best guesses we have for that particular snapshot in time.

If you're talking about an overall majority of those who ended up being actual voters, then that's also not the case, as Trump did not win a majority of votes; Clinton did. Sadly, though, popular vote majority is not how our presidential election system works.

I don't think (2) would really work out in practice. I have hard time believing that France would use nuclear weapons if one of the smaller states gets attacked. At the end of the day, when SHTF, you're on your own and Putin or some other aggressor might well call their bluff.
It's worse than that. Now games are released on one or two dvd, but those have read speed of about 20MB/s. So you need to install from dvd to disk in console or pc and then you need to download several gigabytes of updates anyway. And my internet at 80MB/s (~600mbit) is already faster than dvd for installation. That dvd only works as "physical token of scarcity" for game.
Now wouldn't that be the dream.
Very true. Before working for a company I expected it would be OK or didn't give much thought about it. Meanwhile school was easy and I didn't put anything close to 40 hours per week. Plus the school was close.
The first months working for a company were OK but then I was thinking oh damn I'm going to have to work 40 years like this?

And then after a few years you learn that you can accept the workload but it's not enough to guarantee everything will be OK. In school everything is handed to us, really.
I don’t think it’s possible to understand what a Veblen good is and also think that Apple makes them. Apple get a brand premium for sure, but a “Veblen good” is something specific, and Apple don’t make those.

Write for yourself. I (rarely) write on my website because I am terrible at it and I want to improve, though most of my writing is on private journals. I don't check analytics and don't even have comments: I don't care to know what randos have to say. Sometimes a person directly contacts me via email to discuss a post, which I appreciate much more as it feels like talking to a fellow human.

As you started with "I enjoy writing and teaching", just do that. Not everything has to become a venture centred on growth and engagement.

No there are no standardised tools.

There is Patchwork which can help with managing the review workload and can also provide some CI feedback, some subsystems use that with some succcess, other's don't. It's not really something an individual can adopt so if you're working in an area that doesn't use it you're out of luck.

There is also Patchew which I've never tried.

But overall everyone just has their own individual pile of shell scrips and mail client macros.
To put it bluntly, if I can have my hour of fun with an 100 MB indie game, I am not going to install a 300 GB game, regardless of how cool it might be.
