HN is a fraction of Twitter's size, and moderation isn't going to scale linearly. I doubt anybody, including Elon could really solve this problem apart from taking the reddit approach.

Musk could start his own Mastodon right now and do what he wants, but if he wants to bring along his Twitter network (or make it easier for any Twitter user to switch), then perhaps hurrying up Bluesky is another way to get what he wants sh

The Talos Principle is about as normal a puzzle game as you can get, you can ignore the story bits if you want. Just go through the levels in a numerical order pretty much. The progression might be a bit slow in the start and middle, but th

Thanks for that explanation. I wonder how much harder it'll be to sequence a heterozygous genome.

The cell was female, but due to a quirk, the DNA was all male? Or I'm not understanding what the WaPo article said. The genome does have a Y chromosome: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/assembly/GCA_009914755.4#/d

There are telomeres and centromeres on the ends and middle of chromosomes that have really long repeating sequences, which until recently were hard to sequence. This sequenced those long sequences, from a fertilized egg that apparently didn

The source-based Linux distros (Gentoo in my experience) do try to get better at keeping things working and moving forward when ABI breaks occur. Recompiling downstream dependencies (FFIs, libraries/packages), keeping the old library&#

A few years ago, Janet Yellen (testifying in congress I believe) called for more research into "hot" economies because presumably there was a lack of such research. We're now in a period of growth and basically full employmen

I feel like good news can distill down to: if there's not enough fact checking in the right domain(s), the editor fucked up. Conspiracy theories, and propaganda obviously fail this test, but do not do so online often enough. Especially

Credit to Apple for making a big APU, literally the biggest possible (AFAICT) on the most advanced node with the M1 Max, and now M1 Ultra. Maybe UltraFusion can be scaled up further, TBD, I think. Hopefully Intel/AMD/Nvidia can st
