You would be better off with a non Apple language, Swift without the Mac ecosystem isn't really worthwhile, just like Objective-C never was (GNUStep is a shadow of what actually means to use NeXTSTEP or macOS).

To give another example, even .NET with Microsoft going full steam with cross platform support, has lots of stuff that will never leave Windows.

"As found in the order, Tether held sufficient fiat reserves in its accounts to back USDT tether tokens in circulation for only 27.6% of the days in a 26-month sample time period from 2016 through 2018. The order also finds that, instead of holding all USDT token reserves in U.S. dollars as represented, Tether relied upon unregulated entities and certain third-parties to hold funds comprising the reserves; comingled reserve funds with Bitfinex’s operational and customer funds; and held reserves in non-fiat financial products. The order further finds that Tether and Bitfinex’s combined assets included funds held by third-parties, including at least 29 arrangements that were not documented through any agreement or contract, and that Tether transferred Tether reserve funds to Bitfinex, including when Bitfinex needed help responding to a “liquidity crisis.”"

Ballerina-lang 2201.0.0 (Swan Lake)
So, Ballerina went through a major overhaul. The end result is Swan Lake, the first version of Ballerina that is ready for prime time! Fundamentally, Swan Lake is a commitment to stability—Ballerina has matured, and core aspects of the language will be steady for a long time.

With a focus on enterprise integration, Ballerina has been designed to easily create network services. Swan Lake adds a new set of substantial language features and platform tools to produce programs that handle network interactions, data, and concurrency straightforwardly.

A lot has changed since we released Ballerina 1.0 in 2019, especially over the past year. Right after 1.0, we started incorporating key integration features such as transactions, querying, streams, table support, database integration, and XML and JSON support into the language. And while this was going well, we realized that we needed to make some fundamental changes to the foundation of the language to improve it for production. We wanted to make Ballerina a great fit for the needs of the cloud. We knew that making those changes affected our existing users, but also that it was a worthy aim to pursue because the long-term benefits of the potential platform for Ballerina users far outweighed the short-term costs.
This is my main issue with so many services. The reason I don't use Instagram is because Instagram gives me no control over what I see. You want to look at pictures without seeing comments? Too bad. It doesn't matter that the top comment on one of the accounts I follow was an anti-Semitic jab at the account owner, I have to read it because Instagram knows what's best for me. Ditto YouTube comments & suggestions, Twitter ordering & suggestions, TikTok ordering & suggestions, and just ads in general.

It's a catch-22 for me: if I cede control I get sucked into these addictive cycles, and if I don't cede control I miss out on the primary means of social communication for people my age. How did we get here?

This repo has a nice list of attention-respecting frontends. https://github.com/mendel5/alternative-front-ends/issues

The "chain" isn't a Thing that somehow changes the nature of whatever it records though, right? If I ran a bank and wrote people's balances on bamboo, and executed transfers via carrier pigeons, that wouldn't suddenly change the currency, right? The government backing also seems beside the point - even for non-FDIC-insured entities, holding someone's money to give it back to them later makes their money become backed by you, but doesn't change the currency.

>the critical features of apartheid such as lack of governmental representation, lack of the right to vote based on race, massively disparate funding enshrined in law according to race, denial of public services due to race, etc. None of these are found in Israel

I found compelling evidence of these in the amnesty international report.

>No one accused you of antisemitism either

The link provided above shows the headline as "Israel blasts Amnesty UK for ‘antisemitic’ report accusing it of apartheid"

>Sounds eerily like Nazi era propaganda of accusing them of ‘Jewish trickery’

I don't care what it sounds like - this is literally what it is. Imagine for a moment bringing up "blood libel" in a report on documented israeli abuse of Palestinians. It's just disgusting and zionists have gotten away with it for too long.The zionist state needs widespread condemnation and dismantling for its crimes against humanity.
The problem was not swimsuits. It was any clothing that was relatively thin. Swimsuits was just an example.

You need to be careful with that.

If guess_count is zero before the post-decrement the statement will have an exit code of 1. If you have set -e in effect this will kill your script. Depending on the circumstances it might be better to use pre-decrement.

The article seems to be mixing up type synonyms with type variables. Type variables have an actual well defined meaning. They act like variables that can be instantiated during inference/checking, analogue to how variables in the expression language get instantiated at runtime.
I wonder if this is new. Some weeks ago Nick Drozd, who found a new 4 color, 2 state BLB TM, used this in combination with another optimization (a counter for repeated cells with the same color). This was reported on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29888388. To analyze this TM, I made an implementation in C++. (See my home page for the details.)

I'm actually pretty worried about a fed coin. I can see it being a big win or a big loss to Americans and citizens of other countries. The big potential downside I see is that a digital currency can be easily tracked (blockchain or not blockchain, this is possible). Every bitcoin transaction is recorded, with a full history, and we can identify from who to whom (assuming we know who owns a wallet address, which I think is expected here). On the other hand, if a digital currency is using ZKPs then it would be a big win for privacy because it would be like digital cash. But I'm under the impression that this is unlikely to happen. There's questions about how we'd track things like taxes and for some reason the answer of "the same way we do now and the same way we did before digital money" isn't sufficient. I even see this as a win if there's a flat consumption tax (gas). But I almost never see this discussion taking place. So I'm curious what other HN users think. This seems like a nuanced distinction that I don't think anyone that isn't tech literate would even be aware of.
I hear this a lot but my experience tells me otherwise.

For example, I worked on a Clojure project that would leverage this supposed “10x” power of lisp. Despite hiring the even key Clojure contributors, this hypothesis was falsified. The project went from around 35 to over 400 people and it is moving at a the speed of glacial ice.

Once you have a project with more than a few people a better language does not have much impact: it is all dominated by people factors and how to fit the project into its larger context.
? As far as I am aware, Microsoft Office is still the dominant, de facto platform of the corporate world.

Gsuite is the underdog here and I wonder if they’re having trouble with retention and new customer acquisition.
After reading about the history and impact of minimum wages it is a policy that I vehemently oppose. Minimum wage started in most places as a way to price a group of workers out of the market so some other group could keep their jobs at the pay they liked. Additionally, minimum wage fails to deliver on its promise of helping low income groups. It makes less jobs available to low skill workers making it more difficult to acquire skills that would increase the pay they could demand. Finally, as with any price fixing scheme a black market arises. This would be cash under the table type jobs. What is wrong with two people agreeing on a price for some work that is below what some far away bean counter thinks is acceptable?
Still, it defaults to on, so if history is turned off and you miss the email, it will now be silently turned on.

The right thing to do would be to pop up a question asking if I want to opt in, keeping it to off if dismissed.

Considering all the other blocking modals Google is forcing me through as part of CAPTCHA when surfing the web, that should not be a big deal.

Opting an existing user into data retention without asking them is never defensible, and I imagine this will result in heavy fines in the EU down the line (after all, private individuals can be Workspace admins as well, it’s not strictly used by businesses)
If everyone is bought and paid for, I might as well become an extremist. I’m probably screwed either way, but at least the nuts offer some sense of hope.
It is kind of funny how anti-Tesla HN is overall. Reminds me of when HN was anti-TypeScript for years and then suddenly flipped. This place is still very anti-Bitcoin as well.

For a user base that should be ahead of the curve it seems to be often behind it in important technologies. Not sure why, maybe posts like this attract the critics to pile on.

It’s like a lot of you can’t see progress happening in front of your faces.
The repo doesn't contain the actual distro itself, it appears to be loading CheerPX's virtualisation engine and feeding it a disk image here https://github.com/leaningtech/webvm/blob/6efab7e60bf6f173a2...

Assuming they wrote their own xterm interface (no idea if they did, I got as far as that), seems everything open-source is fetched by the client at runtime. This feels to me more like a bootloader than an OS. Not sure where that lands it license-wise whether merely linking to the image requires appropriate licensing and attribution but either way the work seems pretty straightforward to replicate assuming you have / can supply an xterminal-esque interface and can compile your OS image appropriately.

I don't think they're doing anything wrong licensing-wise but I guess it depends on how the law defines including software as a library, whether that needs to happen at compile time or run time, or whatever. Seems like a grey area?
> We are developing several tools that help transform the initial Rust sources into idiomatic Rust.

(2019) C2Rust hasn't changed much in a few years.

The Rust you get out of C2Rust is a representation of the pointer semantics of C in unsafe Rust using a library of functions that emulate C operations. This is only useful if you desperately need to compile C with a Rust compiler.

Intelligent conversion of C to Rust is hard, and less useful as time goes on and more lower-level crates become available for Rust.
Packmatic | Senior Software Engineer | Berlin, Germany - Remote OK | Full-time | Base + Equity

We are https://packmatic.io and our goal is to digitize the trillion dollar packaging industry with artificial intelligence and increase the market share of sustainable packaging.

We recently raised a multi-million € seed-round only 4 months after incorporation from a top Berlin VC (HV) and Angels (Zalando, Hello Fresh, Sennder, ...)

Our team consists of talented, but humble people including ex. Unicorn founders and ex. Y-Combinator.

We’re still small, remote & onsite friendly (with a sweet office in Prenzlauer Berg) and believe in flat hierarchies.

We see ourselves as a tech company first and write robust, tested and type-safe code - We currently run on Vue + TypeScript + Firebase and intend to switch to a custom-built backend soon (i.e. Node, GraphQL, PostGres).

Just message me directly if you'd like to learn more: paul@packmatic.io
True, I was thinking about density. Unfortunately weight to size for an EV is complicated and more weight is not good.

There are technologies like Tornado cash and Railgun that can hide transactions on Ethereum. The current issue is they're too expensive to use on mainnet.

Once we have layer 2 payments using zk-rollups, transaction costs will fall to a few cents and many apps could easily integrate these technologies to tumble your wallet (taking all funds and send them through this tech into a new wallet) any time you want for a dollar or two. Or they could automatically do this after every transaction.

Then everyone will have access to easy completely anonymous payments in any currency they like.

We're just in the early days of this tech, like the internet when we used http everywhere and no one knew what a VPN was.
There are Firefox extensions that hide the ads which make a huge difference to search quality.
It doesn't help if it boots, if then I have to continously battle with my wlan configuration that every other device on the house doesn't have any issue talking to.

So I just accept as fact of life that on a Asus 1215B, bought with Linux pre-installed, I have to reboot the network configuration every now and then.

I guess it is still better than when Canonical replaced the wlan driver with a half-working one because FOSS rulez, or having 3D capabilities downgraded to GL 3.3 support, when the legacy AMD commercial driver was capable of GL 4.1.
Aaah that makes more sense

Because the translation, while it works, is awful

Now, translating everything and then going function by function seems better
Think along the lines of:

1. What is necessary vs sufficient.

2. Processing power.

3. Power consumption.

4. Hardware cost. (even if may have decreased now, the cost of initiating the programme years ago)

5. Training cost / volume of data.

The approach that Tesla is using balances all these things. I can't fully explain why it's so controversial, but I suspect this topic attracts folks from autonomous startups who are using very different approaches, people who repeat what they've heard elsewhere, and the usual anti-Tesla folk.

If you want to know whether Tesla's approach can work, first realise that the sensor suites only help with the 'perception' part of the autonomy problem. Then watch some of the Tesla FSD videos on YouTube and check whether the visualisation seems accurate or not. It's certainly not 100% perfect yet, but it's clear to me that the perception part of the problem is mostly solved. The biggest remaining problems seem behavioural.
Exactly, I'm in the bay area also. Not hard to see next generation highway robbers standing in the path of self driving vehicles, which will stop to avoid hurting the 'pedestrians' in the road
“ Our Lisp services are conceptually a classical AI application that operates on huge piles of knowledge created by linguists and researchers. It’s mostly a CPU-bound program, and it is one of the biggest consumers of computing resources in our network.”

So what I’d like to know, is would a modern “AI” approach (ML/DL) based on literature samples as input, as opposed to classical AI sitting atop an expert system/linguistic knowledge, fair any better if you were starting, say, Grammarly today?

That said, I enjoyed the article and it’s nice to have an example of Lisp being used in prod. My only experience of it is from using elisp.

What are the differences between elisp and lisp?
I don't think that's correct.

Having the ability to reason about what you see can be helpful but it's not necessary.

Whatever the most developed version of the Tesla FSD software is, it already recognizes that people (children) can hide behind objects.

If you look at the way the FSD development is made you'd notice that they changed from coding to designing AI around a particular task. This is something they started doing quite recently.

Inferring speed limits from sign data is one problem but you could extend this to classify driving conditions based on image data from all cameras. Trying to detect a reasonable speed limit based on that, forgoing sign detection entirely. Sure, the car can get it wrong but if you err on the side of caution (which you do) the car will pick the slowest option based on conditions and you won't care because you aren't driving anyway.

As horrible as this may sound, ultimate, the system will prove itself when it is involved in fewer accidents and at that point it is a benefit to all. If this doesn't happen then Tesla is wrong but it sure looks to me like they are moving along this path nicely.

Driving a car is a simple problem. At least compared to something like general intelligence. You only need to know if it is safe to drive in a particular direction and sure this is a complex problem as you go into the details but it isn't general intelligence hard. We don't even know what intelligence is but we do have something that is looking a lot like cars that can drive themselves.

I'm a believer.
In my experience "durability" is not even a metric to those typically deploying most small websites (e.g. think about the website for a small company) consider.

They just put some wordpress on some webspace, that is maintained by some hoster and call it a day. If something doesn't work the company will call them.

If people like these have problems with technology, they call people like me — I ask them why they don't just take a static site instead and they look at me sideways and ask me how they would then do a animated sliding gallery without a wordpress plugin.

They use the tech they use, because that's what worked for them so far. They don't use it because it is rationally the best choice.
this is terrifying? even more surveillance, but passively, all the time, in spaces that are deemed too private for cameras.
Looks similar to what Indieweb proposes for replies[0]: write a post on your site, than "ping" the original via a Webention[1] to let them know there's a reply, rinse repeat. At that point anyone could build a service to unroll those conversations.

Radar was removed in May 2021, which predates the article I quoted by multiple months.

I'm sure Elon was blaming Radar for phantom braking in the April / May time period. We can give a few months for the cars to update to the newest version as well.

But by November 2021, RADAR was no longer a relevant excuse. I think you may be mistaken about when Elon said what and when. You gotta keep the dates in mind.
It would be nice to have a language independent header format intended for sharing readable information about .so files. .h files are just not good enough as they can embed arbitrary C and thus forces whatever is going to use it to also be a C compiler.
The real equation is closer to: Radar + LIDAR + Vision + Cost + Latency - Battery

Doing it with vision only saves on cost, latency & energy consumption.
To be clear, Tether is highly problematic, but there are other stablecoins too. While not "regulation" concerning deposits, there are so-called algoirthmic stablecoins, which are fully collateralized on-chain, meaning the coin issuer can't just go buying junk bonds or whatever.

Reminds me of NYC’s absolutely horrific apartment broker model. No thank you.

Why would I want to give a recruiter a large cut of my potential compensation for no real value? If someone is making seven figures doing that, there’s a problem.

I don't mind them consuming my "data" (i.e. knowing me better) for profit... for Google, that usually means they show you ads related to your search and relevant to you based on what it knows about you above all the results. Why do you think that's "evil"?

There are things that bother me. For example, blacklisting certain websites because people who have control over them tell them to, or removing certain things from auto-complete because of someone having control over them. But again, that doesnn't make THEM evil. It's the people who have gained control over them, mostly by threatening them of regulations (via disinformation in mass media) and most likely Epteinesque blackmailing of their executives.
Thank you so much everyone! The issue with the yellow letters is fixed. Please give it a try again!

The flipside though is that Japanese urban planning doesn’t use street names the way American/European countries do and literally the only marker is the local konbini at the corner.

Your comments and the email both are written like nobody really wants tracking off, at least not if they know what’s good for them. Is that what you believe?
I guess this is good to know. But doesn’t fit well with my experience with it. I am getting the pop-up while living in a first world city. Google maps is allowed to use wifi to help find me. And the dot representing my location is invariably in the correct spot. Yet, the pop-up still shows. Forgive me my suspicion since there is no practical reason why I need to improve my location accuracy when it is already very accurate.
