Do you have personal experience with commaAI's pilot? I don't so basing all on videos alone. In a video to promote the bleeding edge of their development with Lex Fridman Hotz was driving the car to a specific part of a freeway that had a tilt and he was able to let go off the wheel for a brief moment. In another part the car was driving by itself in an urban setting and the highlight was that it was able to stop by itself at an intersection. This is light years removed from anything resembling a self driving system. But again, if you have more insight than the few videos I am basing this on please share. Would be interesting to hear more.
I get the point you're trying to make but regarding the hotel analogy, I expect a lot more from a hotel than a video game. The trappings of a dodgy hotel are more universal than the subjective shortcomings of games whose tropes align to specific genres. For example, I have a soft spot for the aesthetic vision of the original StarFox but the game itself is incredibly linear, repetitive and one dimensional. According to your criteria it would ruin the magic, but I don't really see it that way.
They're wrong because they didn't realize they left something out of a partially true statement. That's an error of omission.

Does nvlink actually help? It's mostly useful for transferring data between gpus so I assume you're using pipeline parallelism or similar?
I was wondering if they were going to do this, and I'm on the fence. If they can accurately (90%+) get it to a very tight parameter, ok, but a lot of protesters in the general aread weren't actually involved in entering the building, so if they're getting investigated too, it's a bit of an overreach.

You have, say, 50 entities that are part of the cabal, not all of whose interests are aligned (this is the important bit, you want a diversity of interests), and you need a 2/3 vote to add a new one.

Yep, it's definitely the language. You can do low-level programming with Rust and pretty much never have this problem (never say never, but it's certainly not a common issue).

One trick is to avoid smart marshaling (for C# strings, arrays etc), and use "unsafe" and raw pointers. This way, all your types are what CLR calls blittable - i.e. their representation is the same in native and managed - and the behavior is straightforward and predictable, as no copying or implicit conversions occur. This is particularly useful for cases when you have something like a struct containing a pointer to a struct containing a string, and when ownership of memory is unclear.

Of course, the downside is that you have to do all the marshaling yourself then. E.g. for strings, you use the appropriate System.String constructor to create one from a raw pointer - it has overloads for null-terminated string pointers as well as pointer + length, and you can specify encoding too. Or, to pass the string to native, you pin it using "fixed" to obtain a pointer.
Well luckily git has timestamps. And we have a manual approval step before bounties are paid out.

So the original developer would have to raise a dispute somewhere (issue, email, etc.) and I could go through the commit history to see who wrote the code originally.

Although I think that would be an extreme edge case. Especially with a low bounty. I don't think it's worth the effort of ripping off another contributor.

And if the bounty was like $10,000. I would pay a lot more attention to the solution before sending out the money.
It's hard to have realtime communications be censorship resistant if there is defacto authority to block them.

Terrestrial wired and wireless telecom is out; government can order them to turn off.

Broadcast RF is hard, because jamming and locating the source are relatively simple. And taking actions to stop jammers is probably more illegal than the protest.

Line of sight optical signaling is probably easy to locate the source of, but could work; otoh, easy to disrupt with smoke, etc.

If you can do something with peer to peer radio, that could work, but wifi or bluetooth frequencies are jammable.
And I must say that working with business PCs from vendors like HP is a joy, because they are optimized for quick and tool-less maintenance. I can open the PC and swap out power supply, HDD/SSD, 5.25 inch devices and expansion cards without any tools. Only the motherboard, CPU (depending on heat sink design) and cooling fans are screwed in. And there are even spare screws inside the case for unused slots/devices. And while somewhat unpopular, they use custom connectors that reduce the number of cables (modern PCs don't really need the fat ATX bundle), and cables are cut to length, and the case has holders for each cable - virtually no cable management needed.

I wish consumer devices were that easy to maintain and upgrade.

I want to be in some sort of sweetspot. I don't want to do anything where drivers or hardware keeps sucking the life out of me. I also don't want to do anything where I need to read a dozen spells into some cloud shell in order to get a hello world from an app running on sixteen different machines.

I just want to code algorithms and data structures and solve hard domain problems. Not solve difficult programming and operations problems in order to deliver on what is often (at least superficially!) simple domain problems. I think that sweet spot is in games and desktop development.

Rimworld has had so many wonderful moments that have stuck with me even though I haven't touched it since the alphas. Because one of the mechanics of the game is the colonists can lose their minds due to stress, where usually they strip naked and grab a gun and start shooting people or run toward the nearest living thing and try to beat it to death, managing that is important.

Anyway, one of the early builds had this bug where sufficient terror/horror stats were enough outweigh any degree of stress. So the solution to a happy colony was hundreds of occupied gibbet cages placed in rows as a sort of path guide to/from the entrances to the cafeteria, bunk houses, etc. so colonists would constantly be exposed to them.

If you filled them with barbarians or whatever you could catch (sometimes your own people if the headcount started to get above your food production...) you'd have a nice "happy" colony.

I'm sure this is long removed or fixed, but it just struck me as amazing at the time...

Well, the assumption is that unfamiliarity risk goes down as people get more familiar with the technology. There's certainly some added complexity but a blockchain is not that complex, it's just a git repo with some added functionality to repel hostile actors.

Funnily enough, at my last company they actively promoted/encouraged these "polite" openers as part of IM etiquette. The most popular was simply "IM?" i.e. are you ready/available/etc. to engage in "instant"[0] messaging with me? I felt like just saying "no" plenty of times, but that seems too rude, so the most I would ever say besides "yes" was something like "give me 60 sec" or "give me 5 min." Sometimes you gotta finish shit and get to a stopping point or it's just an infinitely recursive interruption stack.

[0] Not really instant, because "So-and-so is typing," and your productivity is hostage to their typing skills.
I agree that when Tesla made their first promises of delivering FSD HW (just add SW a little bit later) reasonably priced solid state lidars were not available. So a story had to be made 'humans have eyes and they can drive, lidar is not needed'. Super hard to back now when they sold FSD to so many customers still waiting for the SW update.

This is a great time and place to be! Neural networks are the twenty-first century Fourier series. It's just that we don't yet understand them. We can easily run them (synthesis) but we are missing the analysis. There's a lot of math to do here.
Pretty neat. Definitely recycles a lot of electronics in a good way. On the GPIO pins I would definitely replace the connector! I can tell you from experience that even if the pins straighten out, some random plugging/unplugging later and the pin will break off and the next person will end up replacing the connector. This is much easier if you have a setup already for doing the work.

This is also a really great way to "pay yourself" to learn to do rework. Buying 200 at £61 and selling the fully restored ones (which appears to > 100) at £9 is at least £900 revenue from the experience. Granted, since you are "learning" that would be slow work at first, but later it would become fairly routine. So something someone in high school could easily do.
I'm quite intrigued to hear that Java might almost have had a sane security model – what was the political problem that killed it? Anything from your work that you'd like to see used in new languages (those patents must have expired now I assume?).
> I expect within the next 6-15 years that we'll hit this limit

You are talking about fundamental physical limits? Um... No, [1]

"At about 26-28.5 minutes of the Jim Keller:

Jim notes that transistors could reach 10 atoms by 10 atoms by 10 atoms while avoiding quantum effects. People are also working on harnessing quantum effects."

We are so far away from fundamental limits. That even if we assume we could somehow double transistor density every two years, which we dont anymore, there are still at least another 15-20 years before we are close to that limit. And that is not accounting any 3D Transistors.

Realistically we already have Roadmap up to 2030 from TSMC. The only limit we will hit is that the node is too expensive and market could no longer afford the premium. Which You could expect to happen within next 10-15 years.

High-level does have the advantage that your work is more easily understood by non-technical / management types - and that could have a positive effect on promotions. Let's say you glue a bunch of AWS services together to solve a business problem: in contrast to solving some technical hurdle to do with obscure hardware. The former will definitely be easily understood by more people, and I hazard to say actually has a large impact on a business (in most cases?)

Low-level programming does scratch that itch of "hacking" stuff, although I have had satisfaction with glueing stuff together with Python in interesting ways.

Just FYI: As a Croatian speaker (not native, 20-30% mutual intelligibility with Russian), whose native language is English, I would say that the English captions work effectively, but a professional translation from Russian to English would be so much better.

Same here! And I can see an inverse effect as well. People willing to work for free on a project, who aren't as willing to work for $50.

But I think often times the bounties will go to the people who are already maintaining the project. Who likely would have resolved the issue anyways.

And rather than a ton of people commenting "same" on an open issue. They could chip in a couple dollars and support the developers.
> I don’t like the always connected jailbroken phone bridge idea. [...] I don’t know beeper, and don’t want the product hooking into my contacts’ end of our iMessage comms.

At the end of the day though, that's a conversation you have to have with your contacts. The fact is that your contacts may jailbreak their phones already, and they'll still show up as green bubbles, and at some point you'll either trust your contacts to be secure with the tools that are provided to them or you won't.

It is not Beeper's job to sort all of this out for you. It's not their problem that you dislike people jailbreaking their phones, that's a personal choice you can make about who you communicate with.

To jump from, "I would prefer not to communicate with jailbroken iPhones or bridged services" to "this program is comparable to malware" is a massive leap in logic and a dismissal of personal responsibly. People have the right to jailbreak their phones and to use services that securely bridge their communication platforms, and if your security model requires you to avoid communicating over those channels, that's a personal choice you can make by checking with the people you communicate with and talking to them about security.

As to why these messages show up as green, it's because Apple doesn't have a visual indicator of jailbroken phones in iMessage, and because Apple allows old phones running old firmware/software to show up as green, and if you have a problem with that then you should take it up with Apple. Beeper didn't write iMessage, they're not the reason why the messages are green.

> So there is a happy medium and there’s reasonable protection to cover 96 or more % of consumer comms.

And if that happy medium for most users ends up including bridged services? What then?

What line are you drawing that says it's OK for Apple to avoid notifying you in iMessage about contacts with outdated firmware, but critically important that they let you know a contact is bridging? You're comparing this app to malware based on a completely subjective, personal security criteria -- one that it doesn't look like most other people share with you.

It's fine for you to be uncomfortable with bridges, but it's not fine for you to claim they're some kind of unique/novel threat that compromises iMessage when iMessage is already willingly making similarly large security compromises in other areas -- compromises that are also just as opaque to end users as Beeper is.

Ask HN: LISPers, do you use homoiconicity (code-as-data)?
So IMO the biggest reason to use LISP over other languages that also provide first class functions and closures is homoiconicity. On the other hand, when I was using LISPs as my primary language, I found that I wasn't using this feature as much as I imagined I would. And when I did, it was arguably superfluous.

So my question is two fold:

1. Do you have any examples (aside from PL/compiler related work) that LISPs code-as-data features are used to solve problems that otherwise would have been much harder?

2. Given that you've likely substituted 50,000 lines of Java code with 300 lines of LISP, it goes without saying that you are a lone wolf programmer. But do you, yourself, ever have trouble understanding what you've written after some time? Also, how do your refactors go? Do you do them at all?

> How is the current "notion of IP for software" not sustainable?

The only reason the "notion of IP for software" is a thing is that our intuitive notions of ownership don't quite work. We can't sell software without sources because nobody wants to allow a stranger to run arbitrary code on their computers. We can't sell software with sources because it's too easy to copy. We can't give away software with sources for free because people gotta eat.

So IP is a hack that slips into a gap just because there’s nothing better. But it's not a great hack.
https://250bpm.com/blog:82 makes a compelling argument that licenses exist only to help CYA companies consume software without risk. All of the software on my computer is owned by others, and yet nobody bears any liability for security holes. It's hard to discuss licenses, because "IANAL". But any time spent looking into licenses quickly uncovers stuff that's only there because nobody has tried to fight it in court yet. Licenses apply to a single snapshot of code, but software has a life cycle and needs a supply chain and governance structure (https://monetize.substack.com/p/a-holistic-vision-of-open-so...)

> how is setting up a situation that seems to be asking for a tragedy of the commons more sustainable?

I think a lot about the tragedy of the commons (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4359257#4361596), but it's not clear to me how people putting things made of bits in a digital commons that anybody can use creates any sort of tragedy here. If you have a specific scenario or externality in mind, we can certainly discuss it.

> how is making something and holding it back until getting paid a certain amount a "counter-force to greed"?

It’s a counter-force because of the bounding effect. You can choose to extract as much value as you want — but you gotta say up front what you want.

Users are not passive entities here. If you choose to set the number too high, discerning consumers may choose to not feed your network effects. If you set the number to something people feel is reasonable, your adoption may speed up, because people feel like they’re contributing to something good entering the commons.

Thanks for reading! Definitely agree with your point about using third party CDNs. I made an exception here because of the issues discussed in the post and because it's an admin-only page (so in the unlikely event of the 3rd party CDN going down, it wouldn't impact any users).
>3. Leaving a phone at home that is not answering calls or creating traffic during the time of interest is also a lead (if you already have a suspect).

Won't most phones being left at home generate no traffic because it's connected to wifi? AFAIK most phones turn off their mobile data connection if connected to wifi. It's also not too unreasonable to have very little baseline voice traffic, since everyone's texting these days. As for texts, it might be suspicious if you have a high baseline amount of texts, but it's also not too unreasonable for someone to communicate almost exclusively using chat apps (eg. signal, imessage).
I feel like you're just trolling at this point.

> Using an alternative does not cause someone to lose access to FB.

Deleting Facebook causes you to lose access to your Facebook connections. Why can't you just use your Twitter account to communicate with someone on Facebook? There's zero technical reason for this not to be possible.

> This is already a thing. https://www.pidgin.im/plugins/?publisher=all&query=&type=

It's not. It's a third party workaround that Facebook could kill at any point if it gave a shit. Do I really need to explain to you how that's different than first party support for something so basic? Just like with email, you should be able to enter a username and a IM provider and just talk to them as if you're using the same platform. It's really not rocket science.

Fediverse (Mastodon and compatible providers) already does that without any hiccups. It's possible, we know it works for decades (since we all use email), and it should be a requirement for every social network / IM service in existence.
