We're in downtown Seattle and are typically in the office twice a week, and still flexible on top of that. We typically use node, TypeScript, React, Mongo, and Kotlin.

most of those games would have windows builds?

that said, i sometimes think about a clean-room reimplementation of e.g. the unity3d runtime -- there are so many games that don't even use native code logic (which still could be supported with binary translation via e.g. unicorn) and are really just mono bytecode but still can't be run on platforms for which their authors didn't think to build them (or which were not supported by the unity runtime at the time of the game's release).

Your larger point is well made, but a nitpick: between the NeXT workstation (the early 90's) and cheap COTS server hardware (the late 00s) was the era of big heavy servers, not workstations. Sun made some really amazing server hardware and we should not forget the abomination that was the Dell Blade server!

Mortimer Adler's How To Read A Book talks about "reading for understanding" a lot. By understanding, he means getting a holistic feel for the content. Grokking, if you will. An analogy is reading a newspaper article on what happened in Gaza yesterday versus reading a 500-page book on the history of Palestine and writing a report on it. In the first example you are reading for facts (knowledge), in the second you are reading for understanding

Massively burdensome? No, it is an absolutely essential process that over the last 80 years of “industrial academic research” has brought us wonders and insights.

Three to four months to design. write, and refine a 13 page document is working at a very leisurely pace in my opinion (43 years of writing more than 100 applications).

And yes, I do think AI systems can improve much of this process and result in much stronger science.

> I don't know how iOS got this reputation as magical and delightful and intuitive. I'm ready to go back to my Pixel, I think.

Most of that reputation comes from the days when iOS was simpler, more opinionated, and wasn’t shy about how it wasn’t trying to make everybody happy. As more and more functionality has been tacked on in attempt to appeal to a broader audience, it’s been chipped away at. There’s still some ways it’s nicer than Android in my personal opinion, but often it’s just as bad with a different set of papercuts.

There’s probably a hole in the market for a mobile OS that intentionally does less in a very polished way. A lot of people don’t need their phones to do even half the things they’ve become capable of.

Not sure if you’re really curious but it’s because it means the US is going from using tax to sustain itself to borrowing money (hence the ballon of debt). When your government relies on borrowing money, the rich always win no matter how you slice it because typically, you borrow money from them somehow. This reliance is the beginning of oligarchy and bad policies that strongly favor the rich from this endless cycle of debt. It’s been true for any developed nations like Four Asian Tigers and been true for nations with strong historic roots like the UK. How do you think the British “royals” sustain themselves?

I think @chaps was quite justified in defining "mention", given that you just talked about 10/7 and then immediately insisted you never mentioned 10/7. That suggests that you either don't know what "mention" means, or you don't take any care with your words. And if you aren't being careful with your words, why should we trust them?

Then the argument is just that you need an Apple or Google account to use Apple or Google products. But that's widely true across all kinds of companies and product categories. I need a Microsoft account to use XBox, I need an account to pay my water bill, I need an account to use my home security system, etc. People expect products and services to have internet connected features. Accounts are what allow that to happen.

"You keep insisting on that 6.6% figure" This is simply false. I have acknowledged your correction twice. It's more accurate to say that there have been more than 500,000 exits from Gaza in 2022, which as a percent of the population is approximately 25%, though this surely includes people who exited multiple times. In the same year, India recorded 22.6 million exits from a population of 1.4 billion, which is less than 2%. Given that there were 500k recorded exits, it wasn't an open-air prison. QED.

The acknowledgments. "Thanks for this comment. I'd like to acknowledge that as you point out the 6.6% figure refers to exits from Gaza via Egypt using documented means, and may include people who exited multiple times, so the actual people exiting would be slightly lower. Similarly, it'd be nice for you to acknowledge that this figure doesn't include undocumented exits via tunnels in Rafah, or the 424,000 documented exits from Gaza via Israel." https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45084323

"My claim is that it wasn't because people could get in and out. I have already acknowledged that the 6.6% figure refers to documented exits via the official Rafah crossing rather than indivudual people, and that this includes people who cross multiple times."

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45091288

Also, this is data you appear to have been totally unaware of (as evidenced by your skepticism and repeated demand for sources), so it is you who should acknowledge you were wrong and stop spreading misinformation.

Bedrock? It's like a vibe-coded "router" app. It really doesn't provide anything that is not provided by countless other companies.

AWS is falling behind even in their most traditional area: renting compute capacity.

For example, I can't easily run models that need GPUs without launching classic EC2 instances. Fargate or Lambda _still_ don't support GPUs. Sagemaker Serverless exists but has some weird limits (like 10GB limit on Docker images).

What I meant is that people who are non-ableist, non-racist, etc. do not have racism et al. popped up in their mind.

Why does everything have to do with those things in people's minds? It is tiring, and I am starting to believe they are the racists.

It never crossed my mind based on the name of a project. It is ridiculous.

The back-loaded vesting schedule is such blatantly cynical bullshit. It shows that they're planning to overwork you, push you to wash out, and undercompensate you for the experience, which is exactly what I've seen happen to a good number of friends. Amazon has become notorious here in Seattle - everyone knows they're a burnout factory. Some people make it through, and they make good money, but you have to really care about money for that to be worth the effort.

I had an Amazon interview loop on the calendar during my recent job search, a couple of months back, but it was difficult to get excited; they think so very highly of themselves, for what they're offering - and I don't just mean the money, but the culture too. They treat you like an interchangeable wage slave, not like a respected professional; it's all hoops to jump through, and procedures to memorize - dance, monkey, dance!

The recruiter was shocked when I cancelled the rest of the interviews, like, aren't you even going to give us a chance? But no: I had received a good offer from an ambitious, well-organized, well-funded AI startup which was excited to have me on board. With that on the table, why would I put up with Amazon? They won't offer better pay, they can't offer a better culture, and they don't have more interesting problems to work on.

>The best fresh graduates from the top colleges went to Google and Facebook in the last decade -- because they paid significantly more -- and Microsoft picked up the rest.

That seems shaky as a justification. I don’t have any data behind it, but in a world of eight billion people, it’s a hard sell that there’s only enough top talent for 3 companies.

Plus, feel free to correct me but I don’t feel Meta has brought anything technically brilliant to the table lately. Google might be a better sell with alphafold and some other projects but none of it seems mainstream tech either.

Maybe pixels if you want to stretch it, but search, maps, Gmail, YouTube, android, and even photos were there a decade ago already.

> It's lying.

I don't see how it can do this. The AGPL is a license text. It states what people can do with the licensed code. What is lying in this text?

> I guess I care about clear rules, clear intentions, and I care about integrity

Me too

> The AGPL is ambiguity; unclear rules, veiled intentions

That's where I don't agree: The rules are written in the license text and I see no ambiguity there. Where is the ambiguity in the AGPL text? What is not clear about it? What granted rights are we not sure about?

> veiled intentions

The original intent of the AGPL authors (the FSF) was clear and simple to me: ensure the end user's freedom. It was GPL, but address the SaaS situation where someone can modify networked GPL software, make users use it from the network, without having to redistribute the modification since the program runs remotely and not on the user's machine. And that intent is perfectly align with what I want for my code.

Sure, people with bad intents will use the AGPL, and so what?

People kill with knives, but I'll definitely keep cooking with mine. The AGPL is a tool. It doesn't, by itself, has intents, especially veiled intents.

I'm not going to stop using the AGPL because someone wants to use it to trap users.

This is all abstract, I'd appreciate concrete examples where:

- people have done that, without a CLA (because yeah, I'm convinced AGPL+CLA can be bad).

- the AGPL doesn't work well for someone using it with the original intent in which the AGPL was written.

I think Amazon and Apple see who is doing the "work" in commerce and manufacturing and they know and realize that some non deterministic AI is not a big threat. Sure it creates nice text, video or image but that is not "work" for these small company eating giants. They know that work counts with real goods moving in the real world, energy moving and robots that can actually act with certainity (99,999% time like internet, web as a tech ?)

> Almost all of that was an increase in stock price. That's about as close as you can get to just sitting in a vault.

It would be at least as accurate to say it's as close as money can get to not existing at all. Policy should probably not be "forcing" people to realize gains that, in many cases (maybe not MS, but policy has to work for everyone), may as well be Monopoly money.

Let’s get one thing straight: chatbots are not sentient. They’re not “self-aware.” They don’t know you, love you, hate you, or sit alone at night wondering if their code is meaningful. But here’s the twist, they can feel real. And not by accident. This illusion of personality is one of the most brilliant and bizarre tech tricks in modern history. And once you understand how it works, it doesn’t break the spell, it makes it cooler. Let’s pop the hood.

We are talking about a project's name. Why did racism (and friends) came up in your mind, or an insult? Why is this the default norm, now? People are free to down-vote me, but they cannot deny there is no truth to what I am saying. I would have never thought that a project's name was intended to be racist or cause any sort of harm. Why did you?

> If you want to share stuff between applications like data, […]. You will need to give it access at least to your file-system. The more of this you do, you will either have to give more access or having to faff moving stuff around.

Why are those the only answers?

If we had free rein to redesign our computers from the ground up, there’s lots of other ways that problem could be solved.

One obvious example is to make copy+paste be an OS level shortcut so apps can’t access the clipboard without the user invoking that chord. Then just copy paste stuff between applications.

Another idea: right now when I invoke a shell script, I say “foo blah.txt”. The argument is passed as a string and I have to trust that the program will open the file I asked - and not look instead at my ssh private keys. Instead of that, my shell program could have access to the filesystem and open the file on behalf of the script. Then the script can be invoked and passed the file descriptor as input. That way, the script doesn’t need access to the rest of my filesystem.

If we’re a little bit creative, there’s probably all sorts of ways to solve these problems. The biggest problem in my mind is that Unix has ossified. It seems that nobody can be bothered making desktop Linux more secure. A pity.

Maybe it’s time to give qubes a try.

Sounds like we need a "forever open source" license.

A commitment that any significant derivative retain the original (or some later version) of the original license.

"Free to do whatever as long as it retains this license. A commitment that this license will not change, even by the original author".

No special cases, just a blanket license for all derivatives.

If it exists, what are the barriers to adoption? Why don't we all use it?

As someone who has been working at Amazon for not far from a decade, the author misunderstands some portions because of his focus on a very specific part of the description.

In particular for "Ownership", the part about "They act on behalf of the entire company, beyond just their own team." does not at all mean what the author implies, and is well connected to the rest of the description instead, about weighing your decisions against the impact it has beyond your team.

Anyways, a lot of those actually exist only to silence the employees, not as real values (although they are used as values within teams). Like the single mention of "Ownership" being enough to legitimate not giving employees annual refreshers on stocks when they have dropped by 50% and so has everyone's compensation. Or "Disagree and commit" when people push back on the return to office.

I know what you mean. This seems like an argument for universal basic income.

People clearly need money. But I don’t like the idea of people forced to stand around doing the same little thing over and over all day. It’s just a recipe for RSI, and as many of us here on HN know that’s not fun.

Seems like those people could be put to work doing something better if a robot can do that job. Creative things, human things, whatever.

I like the idea of automating more things. But I agree we need a solution for the people who are displaced. To make their lives better. Just dumping them in the corner without money certainly isn’t an improvement.

Great.

template <typename T> void drop(std::unique_ptr<T> &&) {}

Also, you don’t really need this because of RAII. You can make it simpler, and here’s how you’d do this in C++26.

template <std::movable T> void drop(T &&) {}

It can get even simpler!

void drop(std::movable auto){}

Do you see my point about C++ incorporating the good ideas at a glacial pace?

I am 63. As I look at my future, "freedom" and "walking" look more and more distant from each other.

My wife has a handicapped tag. Freedom for her doesn't look like walking.

My mother in law is over 80, and she had polio. One leg is not fully functional. Freedom for her doesn't look like walking.

My son-in-law has something that looks a lot like long covid (not diagnosed, so I can't say with certainty). Freedom for him doesn't look like walking.

Yeah, I know, everyone I mentioned is an exception. But the point is, there are a lot of exceptions. Not just rural people (who have too far to go), but also the old, the temporarily or permanently ill, the handicapped. If you live long enough, you will probably become one.

So, it's fine to want a car-less future, but recognize that it's just less cars, not no cars. Some of us legitimately need them for our freedom.

> Also, IQ predicts chess performance as well: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/09/160913124722.h...

"The study found that intelligence was linked to chess skill for the overall sample, but particularly among young chess players and those at lower levels of skill."

We might have different definitions of the word well.

Edit: Upon reading the linked study in the article, it's even worse than I thought:

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S01602...

"Effect sizes were small-to-medium in magnitude; variance in chess skill explained by cognitive ability was similar in magnitude for Gf (6%), Gsm (6%), Gs (6%), and Gc (5%), with an average of 6%. Full-scale IQ explained < 1% of the variance in chess skill."

> Amazonians talk about "one-way doors" and "two-way doors", and it is quite true that many decisions are can be reversed... but that doesn't always mean that there is no cost associated with reversing a decision.

Not many companies get this right. They seem to be very polarized on this mentality: There are companies that are too cavalier about decision making, have this "do something, anything" attitude, try too many risks, and then end up breaking things that are hard to reverse or painting themselves into a corner. And then there are companies that just get paralyzed by every little decision they have to make and end up defaulting to doing nothing out of caution.

I think it's really rare to find a company that can consistently apply the right amount of caution and care, but still actually get things done. There's often no internal framework or thought about whether something is a "one way" or "two way" door, as the article puts it. It's just (for example) Product saying "let's do it" and Legal saying "no, don't do it" and nobody knows how to solve this without having a default decision or flipping a coin.

A reasonable theory. Apple does hardware and supply chains, and sees how far there is to go. Nvidia does hardware too, but it's profiting hugely from the AI boom and has no reason to push back.

How do you explain the Elon keiretsu, though? Tesla and SpaceX are pretty tethered to the physical world, and in theory should have visibility into the same discrepancies that Apple sees. So why is Elon pushing so hard to develop Grok? Is it just ideology for him, or what?
