Why the negativity? It’s pre-release software. The landing page and invites are for people already interested in its early development, not to try to convince you to become interested.

That said, there’s tons of public information about Bun on the creator’s Twitter[1], a lot of it quite interesting, if more curious folks want to find out more. And I wrote a short list of things I find compelling[2] in the related post about another of Jarred’s projects, for the Twitter-averse.

The bank only loses if you default early in your loan, and the price of the collateral collapses.
There is significant counterparty risk when investing in China. It's a shame that people had to find out like this. Or maybe it's for the best.
I love this kind of stuff! It's important for source code to be able to handle non-ASCII characters but we need to be mindful of the different ways that an editor will "lie" to you about your code. The most recent example of this in Rust [1].

> As part of their research, Nicholas Boucher and Ross Anderson also uncovered a similar security issue identified as CVE-2021-42694 involving homoglyphs inside identifiers. Rust already includes mitigations for that attack since Rust 1.53.0. Rust 1.0.0 through Rust 1.52.1 is not affected due to the lack of support for non-ASCII identifiers in those releases.

The easy reaction is "Why are we allowing non-ASCII characters at all? Just so we can put emojis in our variable names?"

This project is a good example of why we do it. But as with everything, we need to be careful about it.

This is just stupid and their rationale is nonsense. Google demonstrates again how they are bad stewards of the web.
It’s more than just cars though. Just one example (of many) - do you pay Ford extra money when you go on a road trip, or does that money go to Exxon, etc? In my Tesla when I go on a road trip, I am giving them more money to charge on the road.

Also, when we switched from horses and carriages to automobiles, I’m sure being an auto manufacturer at that time was probably insanely profitable. Maybe not the most valuable kind of company in the world at the time (or maybe it was), but definitely up there. We’re now in another transition from ICE to electric vehicles. There’s going to be another period where EV manufacturing becomes extremely valuable as demand for EVs surges over the next couple decades. After that, as the EV market matures and the competitive landscape evens out, profits will come down again.

The steam review graph is brilliant and an example of getting it right. YT seems to have succumbed to it's incumbent position in the market and has stopped innovating - it now seeks only to maintain the status quo and apparently thinks dislikes are a threat to that.
ahem Cooperatives and unions are by definition not capitalist.

The key feature of a capitalist enterprise is that the workers and the owners are not the same group. This is in contrast with a socialist enterprise, where the owners and the workers are the same group.

There is a ton of stuff preventing people from forming their own groups. Have you seen how companies (see Amazon & Starbucks recently) react to people attempting to do so?

If Tesla can sell 4M cars at 10K profit every year, that's an annual profit of 40B dollars. 1T valuation will be justified.

Right now they are projected to sell more than 1M cars in 12 months.

Because like it or not, people pay for branding. It’s an ego thing or a correlation thing (in the past).
I'm saying that we don't need "significant, ground breaking advancements".

Obviously for something like a concert or dance club (where half the point is to literally feel the music and the crowd) we aren't there yet.

But for something like a stage play or a comedy show the significant barrier is a low-friction way to connect the audience response back to the performer(s). That comes down to implementation and infrastructure rather than the underlying technology.

The technology is at a point where the next increment could be the one that makes a mass adoption feasible for something like "360 Facetime", "Street view but it's live/real-time", or "Portal but it's the entire room", It's not going to take a "significant ground breaking [technological] advancement".
I don't think the article was trying to state that's the case for every millenial or Gen-Z, just that it's true for a wide swath of them. I'd say that's generally accurate.
In 99% of the news headlines you hear about the underlying study does not contain causal evidence in humans. It is almost always correlational in humans or a mouse model. So yes.

Generally weak evidence that can conform to some existing view an organization holds is cherry-picked into the news. Although sometimes it is just in the news because it is odd/interesting.

Am I really misrepresenting?

The "you made me do this!" tactic is as old as time. In your case, the claim is that YouTube not hosting ignorant anti-vax content, and Biden making a factual claim about the unvaccinated, made people (at least proxies that substantiate your story) not get vaccinated. Therefore, YouTube and Biden are actually to blame!

Nonsense.

I was going to put the cart back in the corral, but then I saw the sign asking me to put the cart back and that offended me because now it's a demand and not a courtesy! The store is to blame that I left it rolling in the lot.

Whatever terrible, selfish thing people do, there is an argument they make where actually it is everyone else's fault.
> The problem is their sources on living persons is usually clickbait and tabloids.

I'm pretty sure those aren't considered good sources on Wikipedia (for instance: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:NYPOST), and you'd probably have a decent argument for getting something removed because it was sourced to something like that. IIRC, their standards are even pickier for biographies of living people than for regular articles.

> Even if you know an admin, they use a consensus process where if one of these anonymous accounts doesn't like you then they do nothing, and doing nothing for them means all the cruel, biased, misleading, false, and harassing content written by guys with names like Dingolover6969 remains as your #1 google search result.

Do you have an actual example of that?

The actual issue with Wikipedia here is that it has all kinds of weird inscrutable bureaucratic processes that are confusing to outsiders (and often require herculean patience/obsessiveness to navigate to a desired result even when you know them). As far as I can tell, you have no idea how it works and are imagining a bunch of stuff (maybe to explain a bad experience?).
If Tesla sells this year 800,000 units of 2 tons each, and keep up 388% growth every year, then according to my calculations they will have depleted earths crust in a little over 19 years.

These are two different modes of operation. I can code when in abstract problem-solving mode, and then later communicate that complex idea using my verbal skills. I can't do both at the same time.

It's like asking someone to give an extemporaneous talk on some subject, while translating each sentence into another language as they go. Even native bilingual speakers would have quite some trouble with this. They can generate content, they can speak fluently, and they can translate on the fly, but having to do all three "live" involves too much context switching. Maybe doable for simple or rehearsed topics, but most coding interview questions are non-trivial.
I know who the owner is, he isn't fake and reached out to me personally, but I didn't feel comfortable doxing him without his explicit permission.

I don't necessarily agree or subscribe to all of these points, just found it interesting there was someone very passionate about the process of software engineering interviews who had made an entire website dedicated to it.
Really nice UI and I really emphasize with the problem.
Thank you very much for these links. One reason why I quickly decided to move away from Unity is that it's such a "big" program to make a relatively simple 2D game. I guess the level of abstraction that modern game engines provide is a double-edged sword in that while it is more accessible to users without a background in programming, it also obscures most of what's going on under the hood. So now game devs (as well as game consumers) accept that modern games have a certain amount of overhead that you live with. And bugs. And incompatibilities.

I moved to Godot because you can totally configure it to suit your needs. You can compile the engine yourself, rewrite the editor, etc. When exporting our game to iOS and Android, I was a bit disconcerted that it was around 100MB...and it's just a jumping game! I tried to pare down all the graphical assets to be as light and as undemanding as possible; but ultimately, a good chunk of that was overhead.

There were instructions on how to strip away all the 3D parts of the engine and just recompile...but I chickened out. Not confident enough at the moment but I'm learning. I might try doing that when we push the next update.

Thanks again. Really appreciate it.
Ask HN: GitHub Personal Access Tokens sometimes don't work for anyone else?
Sometimes I generate a token and use it with `git push` and it works the first time.

Other times, no matter how many times I try, it is declined.

Same process, same machine and address I'm pushing from, same permissions selected...

I try it several times in a row, and it keeps failing, giving me that "Support for password authentication was removed" message, which I'm assuming is always displayed, even when the password is incorrect.

It is driving me absolutely bonkers!

I've even recorded a video of my process and reviewed it, I can post it here if there aren't any clues otherwise.

Has anyone else experienced anything like this? It is so frustrating trying to update my repo and spending 15 minutes on this.
On HN, if you click on the timestamp -- voila -- it's perfectly readable again, no matter how greyed out.

They grey it out because they don't show the count. They used to, back in the early days, and it just promoted stupid arguments.

Greying it out is an elegant solution that plays well with local culture where some people will provide corrective upvotes if they think the comment doesn't deserve that.

Anecdotally my kids have their social media profiles set to "private" and don't have any motivation to make them public. In fact, most of their friends with a few exceptions have the same setup. They also regularly "wash" their profiles because they're kids and are constantly redefining themselves to their peers. Good luck finding any of that in a public archive.
> Participants also had difficulty with performing tasks that involved multiple simultaneous actions. Participants felt stressed by having to “talk while trying to write” (P44), “talking while writing” (P25), and “think and talk and do code at the same time” (P39). P41 found it difficult to “constantly speak during solving” and “lost breath at a few places during the task”.

When you do this (and I highly recommend doing it! using ad-blockers as crap-blockers is one of my favorite things about browsers!), please leave feedback somewhere! Otherwise you're nothing more someone that simply doesn't engage with a feature. That's unlikely to do much to help shift behavior away from building crap, as it's not negative feedback in most cases - unused things are generally assumed to be harmless.
Personally the Cybertruck seems to fit my needs a lot better for hauling large objects due to the larger truck bed size.

We'll see how Rivian does once they actually ship something, I have nothing to go on with them.

For Tesla I know the software, charging networks, and current tech is pretty stellar. No clue about Rivian.
Depends on how you implement the strikethrough; if you use the HTML tag - the screen reader will have zero trouble.

Although with all the vDOM and JavaScript crap these days, web is quite inaccessible compared to most native apps.
Rivian investors who bought in todays price are going to smoked by a truck in the not too distant future. I love what Rivian (& Tesla) are doing but these P/E ratios are from another planet and are feeding off the hype train.

Unless the world internalizes that P/E ratios have now permanently been reset at crazy high valuations it is not sustainable price wise.

With this valuation - the amount of execution risk and market penetration risk is formidable.

When you go to buy a Tesla the online order form will ask if you want FSD. You click "no". That's the extent of it. They don't try to push it on you, convince you it's a good deal, or call you a sucker for saying "no". It's just an option like any other.

At this point, it's well known that journals are broken. The whole replication crisis is a product of journals like Nature and NEJM.

Their authority has always been a sham, and will continue to be, because "Science" is not about gatekeeping. These journals are rent seeking, avaricious entities profiting by selling the illusion of quality and exclusivity to universities and research institutions that should know better.

Science is not about publish or perish. It's not about making the most money from patents and royalties and residuals. It is process which research papers contribute to, but those papers are just like any other arbitrary metric imposed on groups of people - when the metric becomes the goal, the output will be exploited and gamified. The people playing by the rules will lose when everyone else is cheating, and the cheating among science journals has been going on for more than 3 decades.

Trusting any paper is a naive thing to do, but trusting a paper because of the supposed reputation of the journal is just silly.

Trust collections of research that uses reproducible experimentation and rigorous scientific methodology that reinforces ideas over a broad spectrum of literature. These journals are a toxic influence and the sooner they die off the better.
What would break mean? The US debt, like all debt, is somebody else's asset. This “somebody” has zero interest in collapsing the system.

The only two things that can actually make the system collapse in the next 30 years are:

- a communist revolution in the US (this is not happening anytime soon, do not worry).

- zealots with a debt fixation, who would rather collapse the entire economy because they think debt is immoral. This one is a little bit more likely, but given the strong ties between the financial sector and the political parties in the US, I really doubt these people would ever be in charge. Republican, when they don't control the White house, are prone to rant about how debt is unsustainable and should be reduced at all cost, but whenever there is a Republican president, the debt keeps rising.
That is one good way to put it :)
> Countries that have never known democracy, or received democracy without ever truly fighting for it, don't really care much whether you're a dictator or not a dictator- that's all that they've known

I'm not blaming anyone for the government model. Just staying that it comes with known risks, and one of those is economic depressions and power transitions becoming violent. The stakes are too high.
In other words, "dislike mobs" are very real, organized, and occur often. This evidence disproves the idea that "'dislike mobs' are hardly a thing at all."
Yeah, people seem to forget that "default" is a technical legal term meaning failure to fulfill a contractual obligation, in this case failure to make an interest payment on a bond by a specified date. If they didn't make the payment today, then they are in default. Bankruptcy is a more nebulous term and can refer to the filing, the court proceeding, or the final judgement. Being in default is a matter of fact and is not dependent on any of that.

This 'leak' might have happened for 10 seconds.

The article doesn't even say if it might have run for a hour.

So some facts might be interesting. But it's HN, lets just run around with our heads cut off, don't need facts, or the ability to read proper. It's the great filter, the internet allows the stupid and uninquisitive people to control the narrative.

For this study, researchers conducted technical interviews of 48 computer science undergraduates and graduate students.

So they weren't studying real interviews. They were studying fake interviews as performed by a bunch of PhD students at NC State. And it turns out those fake interviews weren't good at assessing software skills.

This just doesn't seem like a meaningful study. Interviewing is a skill; you can't just assume that a random PhD student is just as good an interviewer as an experienced, professional software engineer. Heck, many PhD students won't be able to pass a typical tech interview themselves.

Question to people interested in designing those types of models : what does it matter if the output is "toxic" ? People are toxic ! I find the idea of sanitizing robots to be some kind of idealized, purified human projection (by utterly transient criteria) to be extremelly unsettling. The current sanitization of public discourse is already terrifying. Now you want that crap to be AI-powered ?!
Usually the bank has no mechanism to alter whether you make payments or not. Keep making payments and they can't repossess the car.

It'll be interesting to see what this does to the credit quality of future borrowers, which is the only leverage the bank has. Secured loans on appreciating assets mean that at some point, the bank has an incentive to write loans that they know are not going to be repaid, because they buy only part of the asset, receive a stream of cash payments for it, and then get the full asset anyway when the borrower defaults. It's like a call option that you get paid for instead of paying for.

Come to think of it, I wonder if this is why we got NINJA loans with the 05-07 housing bubble. Once housing prices started going up consistently enough, it becomes profitable to write loans to borrowers that you know are going to default, because you can take the house and enjoy the asset appreciation while getting a nice stream of cash flows in the process.
