At the second you got an interesting answer, though

I was wondering, too. Maybe this explains it? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48899135

This only shuts down the account you have bought in the first, plus a few others if it is shared.

Use any metadata to identify related accounts

How does that work? I think this is the most important part to have an impact on the „thousand“ bot accounts.

I understand your point, however I don’t buy „there's just no legal way to remove him“. With so low ratings where are the daily protests against such type of government? Surely, nationwide daily protests would make elected officials reconsider their positions, given an upcoming midterm election, while there still is one.

Don’t get me wrong, I know the thousands reasons why you won’t join a protest, I’m „guilty“ myself. I just want to argue against your argument that I quoted because this puts all of us in an unhelpful victim mentality.

I read it as „calling it from two places“

That article was flagged because it seemed fabricated by AI (see one of the comments).

I understand your wish to have simple rules that you can understand but I’m afraid this is often not the case with machine learning algorithms, e.g. neural networks.

Algorithmic decisions should have audit trails.

I'm afraid it won’t help as much as we’d like. The algorithm might consider thousands of parameters all of which have scientifically been shown to correlate with some outcome.

A famous example is a denied credit application where one parameter is the battery level of your mobile.

A trail won’t help you decipher why the algorithm decided a particular action.

FWIW I see the red dot only at the top of the page, flashing slowly. It does not annoy me, in fact I only discovered it because of your comment.

Can someone explain the title? I think the author illustrates that the code was the bottleneck and it has shifted to context. What am I missing?

Please excuse my ignorance, what is a „biorisk“?

I think the argument is the other way around: fields that women prefer pay less, ie. the field pays less because women prefer it.

I don’t share that argument, I just wanted to point it out.

Clearly, list the specific cases instead of letting the judge feel what is appropriate is the way to go. Also helps the judge doing the right thing.

Thanks, man! Appreciated

How did you do this? I once tried and it seemed impossible.

What are you talking about? Germany would be more energy independent if it had adopted solar and wind power when Greenpeace was advocating it fourty years ago, like China is showcasing today!

This will result in incorrect behavior when, between converting to UTC and back to the original timezone, the timezone database has changed, which happens more often than you think.

Why posting something only for subscribers?

That's a fun game! I found out I have muscle memory for j/k meaning up/down, instead of w/s.

What do you mean with licensing? What’s the difference to a university degree?

That’s not a standard format. ISO format is yyyy-mm—dd. Also, sorts nicely by time if you sort alphabetically.

After reading that piece, I’ll do my best to avoid flying with a Boeing airplane. I hope the author survives his article.

I was wondering how „bob@[rocket]“ works… Thank you for clarifying.

It takes decades to build new nuclear plants. This won’t solve anything until they are built.

Renewables /are/ good for reducing CO2, as every kW produced by renewable is not produced by CO2-emitting alternative. Plus, they make you independent from foreign energy sources.

I wonder how this is left unnoticed for so long. Yes, there was a bug tracker but for one year there’s no fix? Clearly, I don’t understand enough about it.

They look similar, but to your shell they are different: [ is the name of an executable, ( is a syntax symbol of bash. The man page for the syntax is the man page of bash.

In one of the comments:

    that lower-cased LANG is invalid on macOS, so the system will silently default to LANG=C

Neat idea.

I’m afraid you won’t be able to ever rotate that key, would you? Since it’s result is externally used as an identifier, you would have to rotate the external identifiers, too.

It’s pork cycle https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pork_cycle

I think that might be it. Too bad, the results of this kind of benchmark would have been interesting.

Why do execution times drop so drastically with increasing number of iterations? Shouldn’t the caches be filled after one iteration already? There is no JIT in C++, or is it?
