Freedom of choice isn't that freeing if you don't have time/money to actually permute through all the options to find what you like.

This is the actual reason why the door is continually held open for propaganda and centralized control. Decentralizing everything struggles with inefficiency problems.

The first person to really discover and popularize this was Edward Bernays — who invented Public Relations to help corporations and politicians weaponize this inefficiency. He kicked off the "Mad Men" of 20th century New York.

The introduction to Bernays's book "Propaganda" lays this out very clearly:

https://www.voltairenet.org/IMG/pdf/Bernays_Propaganda_in_en...

Or if you don't like reading... another overview of Bernays is Adam Curtis's "Century of the Self"

We will keep giving up control to centralized forces until we can share information freely and efficiently about what choices lead to better/worse outcomes in a decentralized way.
Is he in jail for being disgraced? I'm confused there, I thought it was for massive amounts of fraud and money laundering?
Yes, while the default idea of Redis might be to consider it a key/value cache, the view of the project itself is definitely about being a "data structure server" - it's right at the top of the https://github.com/redis/redis/blob/unstable/README.md and antirez has focused on that (I can't find one quote I am looking for specifically but it's evident for example in discussion on streams https://antirez.com/news/114). Although I've definitely seen it be used just as a key/value store in the deployments I'm familiar with ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The institute of advanced study follows this philosophy. The results are mixed. Putting people away with no urgency or engagement with real world problems hasn’t done that well.

That was really a time to be alive. It was shortly after I moved out from my parents and my mother got one instead of a tablet. She's tech-savvy I have to say :)

All she wanted was an actually portable Windows device, and Asus delivered.

Celeron was as hot as iPhone for a moment then! There was a real hype around this device category ("Netbook" was the German marketing term)
I would disable all short videos in the feed on every platform because they are completely useless but it is not possible in these apps.

I can't remove the apps because I might need them to check something important or write someone, so I forced to use my willpower to skip these videos everyday.

Ask HN: What do you use for analytics for a statically generated website?
I recently deployed a Hugo blog that I'm locally hosting. I would like to know roughly how much traffic it's getting (almost nothing except friends right now, but I still would like some data).

Obviously I could use Google Analytics or something, but I would rather not introduce any kind of Google tracking to my site. Honestly I think I'd be happy enough with one of those "counter" things from the 90's.

Does anyone here have anything? It's been forever since I've done anything like this, I'm sure the state of the art has advanced.
Only answering for myself here, but when I already have 10+ lbs of camera gear in my backpack, a huge gaming laptop makes a big difference compared to an ultrabook. And I'm not talking about an excessive amount of gear either. One body plus one lens plus a couple extra batteries, etc, easily gets me to 10 lbs. And then I still have to get on a plane with it.
Social media has really proven that phrase that "the medium is the message", which I remember long ago thinking was a little odd and not obviously true.

With all the new stuff coming out in the LLM field, I've taken a cynically mechanistic view to this:

We're basically being conditioned by (the currently popular crop of) social media to work in very short context windows, which aren't sufficient for advanced reasoning.

So yes, totally. Turn it off and go read a book.
.NET has really good integration between async and networking via epoll/kqueue-based Socket (SocketAsyncEngine) implementation. Given that Linux is the main target for server workloads written in C# or F# nowadays, it has better or more uniform performance more often than not. My experience aligns with sibling comment by stackskipton.

You don't? Just outright lie and fabricate a narrative where he was unjustly persecuted by the Biden administration - the same as the rest of the Trumpists have done. 140 character attention spans love an underdog story, and 140 characters isn't nearly long enough to reiterate things like why we have laws in the first place.
Or alternatively (and we can't rule this out), maybe it's the commenters on HN that "don't understand the bigger picture...".
It was actually pro-facism. This isn’t the first time a movie was based on a book, where the movie was a dark comedy, by simply representing the argument in the book. Similar thing happened with Dr Strangelove, which was based on some crummy Cold War book.
Most subreddits tend towards complete bubbles, where anything that goes against the prevailing opinions gets down voted into oblivion or outright deleted by mods.
While I think prolonged solitary confinement is genuinely harsh punishment, i'm ambivalent about banning it, because there really are prisoners who will take advantage of any weakness in communications control to wreak serious havoc in the outside world, and they can be incredibly ingenious about it unless totally locked down.

Also, as someone who has spent more than 24 hours in solitary confinement, I can say that doing it for a full day is pretty mild. You contemplate, use the toilet as needed, eat what's given to you, sleep and the time passes pretty quickly unless you're also being abused in some other way such as temperature extremes or having your clothes removed (I've had to deal with both and they make even brief solitary much worse)

Doing it for long stretches is a different story of course, but a day or two without "special" and basically abusive measures as mentioned above is very mild unless you have one very pathological aversion to any solitude. Claustrophobia could be a factor too but since prison is a confined place either way, it never fully stops applying (though Solitary cells are more claustrophobic than prison living outside of full lockdown.)
So we're all agreeing here. It's ok to hide stuff from sight, but hiding stuff from sight isn't actually security and can't replace at the very least, having password protection.
Choices take energy. If there are curated defaults it's often more pleasant to save that energy for something else. And most people don't have a sole "favorite" choice that they'd go to every time vs trying variety. Heck, you could even spend more energy on deciding whether or not to go somewhere else entirely.

Algorithmic content feeds are a much more important battle to fight, but "spend more effort on every single other decision too" is not gonna put people in a place to want to be more selective. It'll tire them out more and make them more likely to just put on the default idiot box feed.
The combinatorial space is huge, and when I scan through the _curated_ list, I expect the establishment to provide some options from that space that are Actually Good. Maybe something I wouldn’t usually go for calls out to me. It’s an idea generator.

There’s this concept of “babble and prune” (https://www.lesswrong.com/w/babble-and-prune) and I argue that for food (and probably most opinions…) the prune aspect is where your personal taste gets most expressed. So they are doing you a service by pre-babbling a set of options for you prune.

Maybe this framework can shed some sense :)

In other words: I’m just trying to get a good pizza, man, I’m not some kind of pizza artist.
I've had this idea that reproduction studies in one's C.V should become a sort of virtue signal, akin to philanthropy among the rich. This way, some percentage of one's work would need to be reproduction work or otherwise they would be looked down upon, and this would create the right incentive to do go.
I am more interested in the malware by russians distributed instead or along the movie rip than in the movie.
> So yes, totally. Turn it off and go read a book.

For what its worth, 500 years ago people were just as worried about books as we are today about newsfeeds. But it took a long time for books to ultimately decentralize enough to become a more egalitarian, community knowledge. But even that's not entirely the case now. Books can be propaganda just like everything else.
They won't officially try and correct to that level. I did maintain 20/15 both before and after, but still have a mild astigmatism, so I still wear glasses
The author sort of (but not really) acknowledges this midway through, but this is basically a summary of the most recent Technology Connections video, Algorithms are breaking how we think:

I'd rather they acknowledge Alec as the inspiration/source for this post at the beginning and explicitly, rather than just mentioning the video in passing midway through, but at least they do link to it!
People with ADHD experience find it more difficult to choose doing mundane tasks when a more stimulating option is present. Additionally, they are more likely to employ unhealthy coping strategies like avoidance when faced with a chore that is associated with negative emotions. This can cascade into a cycle of feeling like a failure for lack of motivation causing further demotivation. So the difficulty isn't in the task, but in choosing to sit with the task and the associated emotional.
OK, i get the idea of that stranger guy in the metro telling you how to fix your life when he saw that you are scrolling whatever self-help-page.

Well, in this specific case: This wasnt our first date, we met already several times before; so i was not just throwing over this idea as a stranger.

And i get the educational-track here that you are pointing on - the thing is, if you would know about their frequency (as told by her), then you see that a critical level may be achieved at which you shouldn bet on "if-its-dirty-enough-the-kids-will-do-it-somewhen" ;-) ;-)
Reddit, in my opinion, is the absolute worst platform for this. It's incredibly easy to manipulate the appearance of consensus opinion. Also, the degree of power the individual moderators have on shaping conversations means instead of an algorithm choosing what you see, someone who spends up to 8 hours a day on Reddit chooses what you see. Lots of these moderators are not the sort of people who should have any place shaping conversations.
Yeah I mentioned that, if you need to share stuff between processes or differnet nodes, then maybe Redis might be a fit.

But I've seen people use Redis as a glorified "global variable" for stuff like Kafka streaming. The data is already partitioned, it's not going to be used across multiple nodes, and now you've introduced another service to look at and made everything slower because of the network. A global hashmap (or cache library, like previously mentioned) would do the job faster, with less overhead, and the code would be simpler.
There is a clear difference in capability even though they share many failures
I don’t know, I feel like there is much more room for positive incentives than negative. Prisons put people on a pretty level playing field.

Like, the well behaved could be served pork chops and peas instead of slop and mush.
There will always be something dictating what you think until you really feel interested in actually thinking yourself and develop a critical and exploratory mindset. The active audience of this website probably is predominantly blessed with having this kind of mindset already but the general population probably lacks any incentive for developing it.
To be fair, ASP.NET Core has pretty nice http.sys integration for IIS. I'm an advocate of running such workloads on Linux whenever possible too, but I wouldn't say that IIS is that bad, but it is definitely worse.

On the topic, please stop putting Nginx in front of Kestrel just for the sake of it (i.e. you have a single node, or it's an internal network without a load-balancer, etc.) - you're literally wasting resources on additional point of failure and more network hops.
Even so, reddit is a huge echo chamber. The moderation is completely opaque so if a subreddit moderator doesn't like something you've said they can remove it at will, and they often do. And the upvote system encourages groupthink. Votes being hidden on HN I think is excellent.
What's interesting to me is how this is also true for interactions with other humans.

> 'Why can't we just store this data on the shards in PostgreSQL, next to the swipes?'. The data itself would be microscopic in comparison and the additional load would also be microscopic in comparison to what these servers were already doing.

I'm assuming based on the rest of the article that the author and team knew what they were doing, but if you aren't familiar with Postgres' UPDATE strategy and HOT updates [0], you should familiarize yourself before attempting this, otherwise, you're going to generate a massive amount of WAL traffic and dead tuples at scale.

Glad to see Bluesky mentioned. I look forward to trading custom feed algorithms like Pokémon: https://stronglytyped.uk/articles/bluesky-firehose-meet-hack...
Hi, thanks for building a great tool and a great write-up! I was trying to add a number of repos under oslc/, oslc-op/, and eclipse-lyo/* orgs but no joy - internal server error. Hopefully, you will reconsider shutting down the project (just heard about it and am quite excited)!

I think a project like yours is going to be helpful to OSS library maintainers to see which features are used in downstream projects and which have issues. Especially, as in my case, when the project attemps to advance an open standard and just checking issues in the main repo will not give you the full picture. For this use case, I deployed my own instance to index all OSS repos implementing OSLC REST or using our Lyo SDK - https://oslc-sourcebot.berezovskyi.me/ . I think your tool is great in complementing the code search.
Did you deploy of vercel? they provide analytics as well
Sure, but it's nice to be reaffirmed, and maybe this is handy grist for discussions with friends, family, and colleagues.
The role of LLMs in research is an ongoing, well, research topic of interest of mine. I think it's fine so long as a 1. a pair of human eyes has validated any of the generated outputs and 2. The "ownership rule": the human researcher is prepared to defend and own anything the AI model does on their behalf, implying that they have digested and understood it as well as anything else they may have read or produced in the course of conducting their research.
Rule #2 avoids this notion of crypto-plagiarism. If you prompted for a certain output, your thought in a manner of speaking was the cause of that output. If you agree with it, you should be able to use it.
In this case, using AI to fact check is kind of ironic, considering their hallucination issues. However infallibility is the mark of omniscience; it's pretty unreasonable to expect these models to be flawless. They can still play a supplementary role to the review process, a second line of defense for peer-reviewers.
I analyse the server logs with awk + friends, filtering out obvious bots.
This advice is missing something crucial which is how to discover new creators sans feeds. Not saying it's impossible, but it's something they excel at and they've extinguished a lot of the old ways.
I’ve seen the same, like when I just mentioned caching a team mate would hear „implement redis”.

Then I would have to explain „no, we have caching stuff ‚in process’, just use that, our app will use more RAM but that’s what we need„.
It's better to use the same deployment process you would use for Node.js, Go, Rust, etc. Especially since .NET CLI tooling is excellent and lets you build fairly small completely self-contained binaries (with trimming) or you could easily get your hosts to have the runtime installed (which takes little space) and then just copy very small .dll files (you can do runtime-less single-file deployment, so it's going to be literally 1-5 files taking less than 1-5MB in total).

Not really. You can use XDG portals to have native dialogues in Firefox, but GTK developers call this an abuse of portals, so this will go away at some point. Portals are intended as a way out of sandboxes like flatpack, not to plug-and-play file picker dialogues.
Books can be terrible, but they can be good to a level that (most popular) social media can't, due to the limitations of the medium.

Without long text, to a good approximation, you just can't convey long, multi-step reasoning chains at the limit of human intellectual capacity.

Personally I've started reading again much more recently, and it's done wonders for what's going on inside my head. I was feeling so dull! I can only recommend it.

It's not only the chitin that causes nausea/cramping/stomach upset. It's also the binding of the triptamine of your choice that you just flooded your body with to the many serotonin receptors in your gut. Techniques like lemon-tek or other filtering methods to remove chitin can help at reducing nausea, but it's only one factor.
> In this case, you do not own, or even control, the software you wrote or the device it's running on, and you must re-install it weekly. In my opinion, sideloading should completely bypass thr manufacturer. I do not need to email Linus to ask if I may run software on my Linux Mobile device, or Cook to run software on a Mac.

The problem is, even the real sideloading as offered in Europe is still dependent on Apple's approval in every individual case through their "notarisation". This already existed by the way, even on Mac, but it was not mandatory on Mac where sideloading is normal. It's ridiculous, definitely malicious compliance IMO.
Official media is more likely to come with malware. Sony rootkits being one infamous example. Or, depending on perspective, all the "telemetry" and advertising built-in to Windows these days.
> 5. Talk about it - if you’re reading this you a already know this is a problem. Your friends and family may not be aware of how their feeds are manipulating their attention and beliefs. Without intervention, the radicalisation of opinions, and the consequences we’re already seeing, will only escalate.

This is not Crack fortunately.

Physical dependence -> dopamine -> euphoria, escape, coping with stress + anxiety -> cannot feel pleasure without the drug -> craving for the drug / dependence. Recovery includes confronting the physical feeling that the drug is essential for perceived well-being.

Psychological dependence (TikTok / Insta Feed) -> sense of belonging, validation, purpose -> sense of identity via subculture, especially for "marginalized" or "insecure" individuals -> (side-note, some TikTok / Insta / MAGA+Dem / feeds CREATE+encourage the sense of marginalization / insecurity) -> us versus them -> isolation, only valuing subculture views, promoted distorted beliefs, detachment -> dependence (again). Recovery includes depression, anxiety, and feelings of loss.

WEANING

- Drug: medical intervention, therapy, support, relapse prevention

- Social: therapy, reconnection, critical thinking development, finding alt purpose, gradual separation
Books can be propaganda, certainly. However, books promote long attention span. Social media generally removes that aspect and focuses on dopamine hits. It’s hard to condition critical thinking when jumping from one truth sentence to another truth sentence without context.
> If you think there's an inviolable set of Ur rights

I made no such claim. Of course any right can be violated, since rights aren't laws of physics, they're agreements that citizens of a civil society make with each other in order to be able to build wealth through cooperation, specialization, and trade. And people always have the ability to violate agreements. That doesn't mean they should, it just means they can. And of course there are always people who do. But that doesn't mean there has to be conflict between the rights themselves. It just means there are always at least some people who refuse to respect other people's rights, and we have to have some kind of plan for dealing with them.

> Your inability to articulate them cogently

I don't know where you're getting that from, since the old saying I mentioned already contains the basic answer: life, liberty, property. (I might also add the pursuit of happiness, from the Declaration of Independence.) But it's true that it's easy to misunderstand what those rights mean, particularly "liberty", and to think that they must be in conflict because, for example, my "liberty" has to include the right to take your life if I feel like it. But that's nonsense, and there is plenty of literature in philosophy, ethics, and political science expounding a proper concept of "liberty" that includes the obvious point that your right to liberty does not include violating the rights of others.

> Refusing to think critically

Is exactly the problem with people who can't understand how there can be a set of basic rights that aren't in conflict, because they can't, for example, imagine any concept of "liberty" that isn't "I can do whatever I feel like".

Where is that evidence? The paper you cite suggests that p hacking is done in experimental accounting studies but not archival.

Generally speaking, evidence suggests that fraud rates are low ( lower than in most other human endeavours). This study cites 2% [1]. This is similar to numbers that Elizabeth Bik reports. For comparison self reported doping rates were between 6 and 9% here [2]

It's strange, Firefox gets so much criticism because they don't pass various purity tests while Chrome is completely exempt because nobody expects it to not be evil.
Does the bank really read the amounts as hexadecimal?
Yeah, I thought the reason he was in jail was because he aired ads and sponsored arenas trying to convince folks to put money into his seemingly legitimate platform that he was actually using as his personal bank account.
I’m surprised there is never more acknowledgement of this. Just look around at the other people you see in public. If they aren’t actively walking, the phone is out, sometimes even while walking. You can’t really think deeply about your life and situation if every waking second is spent looking at brainrot social media. Even people with a nose buried in a book are trading precious time in their own mind developing their own thoughts for that to instead be filled with others words and ideas.

Socrates was even complaining about this, and it’s arguably far worse what is happening today than what he was seeing.
