> it likely applies to any content in less common languages, yet this issue rarely comes up in discussions about their moderation efforts

It comes up constantly, just not by politicians and lobbyists with ulterior motives. It's certainly a huge reason they're investing in LLMs too. Politicians typically don't care about the reality and limitations of the policy they propose, and view moderation either as censorship or a jobs program.

This is also a widely understood concept, especially today with the rise of TikTok. There is an entirely new vernacular of English forming in response to automated moderation efforts (eg. "un-alive" vs "killed"/"suicide"). Internet users generally understand and are capable of learning to evade moderation by changing language usage. This is also popular in high-moderation environments like China too, where there are plenty of subtle euphemisms.

This was also one of the core issues in the "genocide caused by Facebook" in Myanmar. It was reported that during the relevant time periods, Facebook often had between 0 and 1 full time employees capable of understanding the local language and customs, but didn't want to invest in hiring moderators with knowledge of the language.
That's a very wrong statement. Pretty sure I could explain all the maths, all the physics, all the electronics, all the operating systems and all the user space of a single high level language operation, when I was a fresh graduate. Now, I have forgotten most of the physics and electronics, since the university was quite some time ago, but feel free to ask any decent student of an IT bachelor, they should be able to pretty much build the PC from scratch. Sure, modern processors and whatnot add a bunch of optimizations, but you seem to really overstate the complexity of the computer.
Early .NET (pre-4.0) included JScript.NET, which was effectively "IronJS", except that it predated the convention.
It seems to me that “refugia” would be more apposite word for this phenomenon than “oases.”
Disagree here. We could have very different sets of obligations in life coming from different sources, not all of which are under your control.

And the phone does consolidate many, many technologies that used to be disparate objects. Now, you can also live life without a camera, CD player or walkman, cookbooks, planner/calendar (i actually still use a paper one in addition to calendar/reminder apps), and letters coming in the mail, sure. But I don’t think you’ll get fat proposing that to everyone, and these are just a few examples. Not everyone is going to want to live a life of pure asceticism.

I think back on my parents’ stacks of mail and realize that searchable email is way better than that.

I also just bought concert tickets for a few shows in the summer. Yes, there is a paper ticket option, that you pay to have mailed to you. Have you ever lost a paper ticket before, or tried reselling them? Much easier to deal with with the AXS app.

A buddy visited a while back and getting him a transit card without using the smartphone option took about 30 minutes.

I think it’s just that after having centralized so many things into one device, there’s a new step function horizon to cross to make it more effective to use or come up with a new form factor.

I've been using Apple Maps exclusively for a few years now, as I like the turn by turn directions much better, and the UI is more readable to me, as others have noted.

My wife seems to like Google Maps better, so we tried it on a recent trip. I ended up going around in circles in an unfamiliar area, and it kept telling me to turn where no road existed. I was flabbergasted it was so bad, as the last time I used it, I didn't remember it being so unreliable.
I think I’m missing something here. PA defines x * 0 = 0 for all x. So while we could take (Z+, 1, ++) as a model of it, we would be imposing a completely different definition of multiplication than the usual. Would this not be simply choosing to label 1 as 0 and work from there?

If you're traveling internationally, do so legally and with the correct paperwork. This isn't too much to ask for. People freaking out because the US is finally enforcing its immigration laws is hilarious. This boycott page has some incredibly delusional takes. Follow the laws of the country your visiting and don't worry about it.
This is horrible writing, from the illogical beginning, through the overuse of ‘mate’ (inappropriate in a US context anyway) to the shouty ending.

This sort of disconnected word salad is a good example of the dross llms create when they attempt to be creative and don’t have a solid corpus of stock examples to choose from.

I think you're just more interested in the practical side of ML which is totally fine!

I'm a bit skeptical of how much math and theory the average MLE actually needs. Obviously they do need some, but how much? I'm not sure.

But on the other hand, the theoreticians often need much more math. Something like the SVM could only have been invented by a math genius like Vapnik.
You can buy IP insurance; the problem is that the proposed strategy only works against patent trolls. If you infringed a legitimate patent the insurer would be screwed, so they'd want to do an enormous (impossible?) amount of due diligence before writing the policy. As with most other insurance policies, insurers in practice are only willing to take on a portion of the risk.

> you imply that: "Yes. The only solution is magic. Well done." is such a high brow and intellectual comment and I a'm just too dumb to I understand it

My friend, I think that comment was utter trash and they shouldn't have posted it.

That said, interpreting a comment literally, as they did, is a valid way to interpret a comment. I disagree with how they chose to respond to your comment, not strictly with how they interpreted it.

Lastly, you are not too dumb to understand anything, let alone what I've written. Do whatever you normally do to unwind and read my comments again tomorrow if you don't believe me. Anyone who tells you that you are inadequate in any way is being abusive.
Where do you think a rinky-dink municipality gets the money to pay for infrastructure? They turn to capital markets, who will make a profit on the bonds or whatever.
It is odd that he talks about Larabee so much, but doesn’t mention the Xeon Phis. (Or is it Xeons Phi?).

> As a general trend, CPU designs are diverging into those optimizing single-core performance (performance cores) and those optimizing power efficiency (efficiency cores), with cores of both types commonly present on the same chip. As E-cores become more prevalent, algorithms designed to exploit parallelism at scale may start winning, incentivizing provision of even larger numbers of increasingly efficient cores, even if underpowered for single-threaded tasks.

I’ve always been slightly annoyed by the concept of E cores, because they are so close to what I want, but not quite there… I want, like, throughput cores. Let’s take E cores, give them their AVX-512 back, and give them higher throughput memory. Maybe try and pull the Phi trick of less OoO capabilities but more threads per core. Eventually the goal should be to come up with an AVX unit so big it kills iGPUs, haha.
Cars are a worse product in some ways and in a very limited number of situations, but cars are a much better product in many situations including some where public transportation is not a solution at all. The public transportation we have now is an objectively worse experience in the vast majority of places where it's available for almost every situation.

Public transportation can be improved to be better than it is and cities can be redesigned to make using public transportation easier, but until both of those things start happening, people will resist replacing all the good things cars offer with something that is much worse for them.

When car companies wanted to sell cars, they changed the roads and cities. The more they changed the roads and cities to make cars more attractive the more cars they sold. Cars already solved a lot of the problems people had, but car companies went even further to create many new problems that only their cars would solve. Making life worse for people without cars just to increase car sales was a dick move made by a bunch of assholes. Why is everyone so willing to make life worse for people with cars to sell public transportation now?

What we have now are people selling public transportation without bothering to change the roads and cities. There is no priority on making public transportation more attractive, instead the attention is all on how to make cars more painful to use.

Nobody has worked out how to get public transportation to solve the problems that only cars do currently. Nobody has addressed the problems that cause people to avoid public transportation. The entire attitude is basically "We're going to keep punishing car drivers until they put up with something far worse than what they have now so that maybe eventually we can have something better".

All the discussion is "take away parking" and "narrow the streets" and "charge drivers more money" but nobody is saying "We've made our public transportation systems clean, safe, pleasant, and dependable" or "No one ever has to wait more than 7 minutes at a station" or "We've expanded service to new areas and put in stations every three blocks"

It's true that in an ideal world we would be far less dependent on cars, but we'll never get there without making the alternatives more attractive and until that happens, punishing drivers is only going to piss people off and rightly so. It's a dick move.
> But again, we're talking about reality and compromises.

Okay, now this I'll agree on. Apartments are compromises.

> 0 to hyperbole

You might have confused a thought experiment with hyperbole. I'm not saying the hypothetical is reality. Compromises (your word) are by definition not the ideal. It would be strange to prefer the compromise, or to not be just a tiny bit 'sad' about having to make it.

> You're acting like a 12 year old.

Of course. You know when the ad hominems start you're definitely conversing with an grown-up.

Again, what you're reacting to is another thought experiment meant to tease out what your beliefs are.

> if you want the best facilities in any given area to be easily accessible

I also agree that density can make certain important amenities closer, like food stores, and medical facilities—also 20 flavors of cafes and microbreweries in walking distance. They also increase congestion making those amenities not as close as they seem, and gardens are harder to get to.

(And yes, lifts factor into this. They take time to reach you, to take you ground floor. They are also sometimes out-of-order, and this is tragic in a mid-rise where this happens often enough to be a problem and there's little redundancy. Limited passage is also a huge problem in an emergency situation, particularly for people with mobility issues. etc. etc.)

> The financial math for that only works with mid to high density.

But... to bring it back to the OP - we're talking housing cost. That is, regular people, buying somewhere to live, in a way that eventually unshackles them from paying for shelter.

Cities are overburdened. I've noticed a lot of SV and NY FAANG types get triggered by this, and blame the NIMBYs, but not without considering their own culpability. It's the 21st century, most of the overpaid service workers don't really need to meet face-to-face to get their business done, and they could disperse, and divest themselves from their spare properties.

The central thesis of the OP article is that housing cost is driven by income, and if you look at NY, which is basically SV + density in terms of high-paid service workers and skyscrapers, and TFA seems to be right.

I'll leave you the last word.
> The US has started the trade war against EU already

On March 12th the US imposed a tariff on steel/aluminum, the EU responded with an tariff of total equivalent value on US steel/aluminum/agricultural products [1].

This is the core of my point, the US created a tariff against the EU, the EU responded in kind.

> the active hostility against EU, by threatening to annex Greenland...[Trump's] aggression against Ukraine

Trump has said concerning things about both Ukraine and Greenland and I don't want to downplay that. That being said, the US is currently sending both weapons and intelligence to Ukraine [2].

In fact, he US has given Ukraine more aid than the EU and all of its member states combined (though less than all of Europe combined) [3].

Being the largest supplier of aid, sending weapons and sharing intelligence with Ukraine is clearly not siding with Russia.

Yes. It’s really dishonest of them to use the 5k number for "resolution" without specifying it's "combined resolution".
It's pretty funny that Westerners are still going on about this largely invented issue after underwriting a brutal genocide in Gaza for almost 18 months. Won't someone please think of the oppressed Muslims!
Studies show the opposite is true. Nobody gets voted out of the municipal rate board for denying rate approvals and allowing maintenance and capital investment to fall by the wayside. It's one reason U.S. infrastructure is in such terrible shape.

Gotta fully accept the tradeoffs you make.
my take from reading this is more about programming abstractions than any particular hardware instantiation. the part of the Connection Machine that remains interesting is not building machines with CPUS with transistor counts in the hundreds running off a globally synchronous clock, but that there were a whole family of SIMD languages and let you do general purpose programming in parallel. And that those language were still relevant when the architecture changed to a MIMD machine with a bunch of vector units behind each CPU.

So, you'd tag all these files with .. what? "pnpm, node_modules"?

This is about charging, not how it sends data. And the batteries last a long time for this particular device, so there's minimal downside to unplugging. The downside to staying plugged in is there's a cable dragging around that makes the experience of moving the mouse a little bit worse all the time.

A user has to be thinking about something to make a choice. Depending on the user to think about all these little aspects degrades the experience all by itself.
If legal consequences aren't a possible avenue to prevent unacceptable behaviour from someone then a viable alternative is to make that person a pariah.

The more people know that someone is doing unscrupulous things the more people can choose to not do business with that person or interact with them in a friendly matter.

Ideally this would lead to a scenario where they lose the means to continue to do unacceptable things and they would be forced to stop.
Adverse selection would be a big issue, but actually perhaps if the indemnity only covers defense, an insurer would be willing to take more risk (and have expertise in batting away these claims.)
Which obligation you entered into willingly. So really you’re appealing to your own authority to legally bind yourself in contracts.

I know this is kind of the contrarian opinion and I'm not trying to be "that guy", but if you want a web app that works in 30 years you would probably be best off building a server-side rendered application. You need a server, HTTP, HTML, and CSS for any web application, but you don't always need a lot of client side javascript.

Most things can't be learned via pure theory or pure practice. Almost nothing related to work in the modern day can.

In ML not everything can be derived from theory. If it could, we'd not have been so surprised by the performance of really really large language models. At the same time, if you can't reason about the math involved, you are going to have a difficult time figuring why something isn't working or what options you have - could be around architecture or loss functions or choice of activation function or optimizer or hyperparameters or training time/resources or a dozen other things.
Show HN: MFE – A lightweight self-hosted web file manager with live editing
Hi HN,

I'd like to introduce MFE (Multi File Upload Editor) – a lightweight, secure, self-hosted web file manager built with an Apache/PHP backend and modern JavaScript (ES6 modules). MFE makes file management effortless by offering features like:

• Multiple File/Folder Uploads: Upload many files and folders at once with real-time progress indicators.

• Live File Editing: Edit text-based files with syntax highlighting and live preview (powered by CodeMirror).

• Drag & Drop & Gallery Views: Easily organize files using drag & drop and switch between table and gallery views.

• Shareable Links: Create password-protected share links with configurable expiration times.

• Robust Security & Authentication: Secure session-based login with CSRF protection and hashed passwords.

• Responsive & Modern UI: Enjoy a dynamic, mobile-friendly interface with dark/light mode support.

I built MFE as an alternative to solutions like FileGator, TinyFileManager, and ProjectSend, aiming for an easy-to-deploy experience that doesn’t compromise on functionality. I’d love to hear your feedback and suggestions.

Check it out on GitHub: https://github.com/error311/multi-file-upload-editor
Surely some RDBMS has the ability to run REST queries, possibly via SQL by pretending it's a table or something.

I can imagine that working on a good day. I don't dare imagine error handling (though would love to look at examples).

Ultimately, it probably makes no sense to do everything in the database, but I still believe we're doing way too much in the application, and too little in the DB. Some of the logic really belongs to data (and needs to be duplicated for any program using the same data, or else...; probably why people don't like to share databases between programs).

And, at a higher level, I wonder how far we could go if we pushed all data-specific logic into the DB, and the rest (like REST calls) into dedicated components, and used a generic orchestrator to glue the parts together? What of the "application code" would remain then, and where would it sit?
File system APIs should be able to return events "data is transferred, buffer no longer needed" and "data is safely stored on persistent media". That's what databases really need from the file system.

Interestingly, some IBM mainframe hardware makes this distinction, with "channel end" and "device end". But Linux does not.

Fascist behavior and actions aren't limited to the political right wing. Anyone can do it, you just choose to cherry pick the one you dislike under "fascism" and be OK with the fascist behavior that allies to your political views as being correct and justified.

Do you see any conservatives firebombing people's private property right now, or is it only the "tolerant left" doing it?

How much online free speech was censored under the leadership of the left in the years prior, all under the guise of "protecting free speech" and "creating safe spaces"?

One can abuse the "think of the children" emotional arguments to justify a lot of fascist totalitarian behavior and policies, all in the name of "good". Remember: "The road to hell is paved with good intentions".
