Does Reddit require sms verification? The last time I made an account it didn't even require a valid email (but you got the "validated email" badge if you did it)
I think it's uncharitable to jump to the conclusion that just because there was a config-based outage they don't do phased config rollouts. And even more uncharitable to compare them to crowdstrike.
what do you use instead and what does it give you that you can't get from datadog? as someone who's been locked into datadog for the past few years i'm wondering what i've been missing.
It's frustrating that their entire analysis is based on the claim that cheating occurs in maybe 1 out of 10,000 games; they got this from a quote in an interview with the deputy president of the World Chess Federation after he had been beaten in a charity match by someone who admitted cheating. To their credit they also ran the analysis assuming cheating is 1/500 and the odds rose to 7%. I suppose it makes sense that they are merely rebutting the accusations based on the same methodology but it's still frustrating.
this was confusing but I think it's supposed to just be "father of the child narrator." Also kind of weird they (the original parent link, it is in the bbc article) didn't name the documentary (maybe it's common knowledge to their audience?).
people are starting to realize they don't have any significant technical advantages over other AI companies. so all they have left is hype or trying to build a boring enterprise business where they sell a bunch of AI services to other large companies, and their lack of experience in that area is showing.
Constantly updating geyser to keep it up to date with the most recent bedrock versions is quite a pain. Maybe paper has tools to automate these updates (I use fabric) but it seems unlikely.
Almost every so-called bloated editor has a vim plugin (I guess that's an upside of their bloat): vscode, intellij and friends, even vimium for the browser. And although I wouldn't argue that vim (or, to be precise a subset of vim functionality in editor plugins) makes me more productive I would argue that vimium does.
I've been a user of BirdNet (also from Cornell, but apparently a different group?), looking forward to checking out Merlin. With Birdnet you have to record a sound, pick out the specific portion of the audio and click identify.
I don't have specific examples as I am not a regular reader of lit, but I can comment on "it doesn't look to my eyes notably different from reddit." The anonymity, lack of up/downvotes, non-hierarchial layout, lack of moderation, and heavy focus on images creates a very different experience from reddit. Some say this leads to better and more organic discussions (I agree for the most part), but I think they're only going to be as good as their community. Anyway, there's no reason you can't use them both.
> specific comments that wouldn't have been made without benefit of anonymity
Open any thread and you will find tons of examples, no reason to post them here. But I expect you meant specific comments that are valuable and insightful? Probably a matter of taste. On reddit it is at least much easier to find highly-rated comments, which is a plus for voting.
If you assume no one knows the context of your reference, why would you use it? Regardless, I included the details because they're interesting and one sometimes learns interesting things on HN.
Anyway, the lesson of the hot hand fallacy is that sometimes intuitive predictions turn out to be right, despite the best efforts of low-context contrarians. But I don't think that was your point.
Not sure what point you're trying to make here, since I don't know if you're referring to
(a) the initial, intuitive belief that basketball players who had made several shots in a row were more likely to make the next one
(b) the analytical analysis that disproved a, which no doubt stemmed from the belief that every shot must be totally independent of its context, disregarding the human factors at play
(c) the revised analysis that found that the analysis in b was flawed, and there actually was such a thing as a "hot hand."
Can you not just physically disconnect or shield the network antenna (assuming you own the car outright, i suppose if it's financed it might be trickier to do that legally)?
