Thank's a lot, that is really helpful!
> At Google's scale, I don't think there are enough humans on Earth to deal with the abuse. As a result, there are going to be some innocent casualties.

Perhaps they've scaled too large then. I don't think "we're too big to be held accountable for screwing innocent people" is a valid excuse.
A multiplier: Knowing what you're bad at and abstracting it or outsourcing it. Focus on what you're good at.
Thank you! It seems like it is genuinely hard to make a safe decision these days. In such cases, the question appears to revolve around, which appears to be less bad.

Are there any other alternatives worth exploring?
I was biking in SF the other day, pulling my kid in a bike trailer. A waymo vehicle pulled up behind me while I was waiting for the traffic light. I was pleasantly surprised that it waited for me when the light turned green and didn't run me over. Robot anxiety is real though.

Edit: anxiety also because I wasn't sure it would recognize the bike trailer as a real thing. How many bike trailers end up in the training set?
At this point, being let’s say a “transportation safety activist” in the Bay Area, they seem about the same.

That said, I’ve seen Waymo still being too cautious relative to Cruise. Like I was waiting on the crosswalk with my bike at a 45-degree angle, and Waymo seemed terrified that I was going to bike diagonally through on-coming traffic. It was kind of hilarious.

That said when I’ve tried to test the safety parameters on Cruise while on my bike or skateboard and the system has called my bluff. I don’t know if this means Cruise is less safe. Or they’ve found a way to give the AI a sense of confidence and assertiveness against people using micromobility to aggressively bypass urban traffic congestion.
I have not found webmentions-specific antispam processes. I suppose that, a whitelist/greylist/blacklist approach at host level might keep it manageable: if a social host can't moderate its spammers, then it is not worth accepting traffic from.
This sounds virtually unenforceable. Gated and protected phones and computers are the domain of highly secretive projects, and cost an arm and leg to enforce. It means searching personnel as they enter the protected zone for watches, phones, computers, tablets, etc. Since phones geolocate and Google has this data, the protected zone needs to be enormous. Like, an entire city block to prevent the algorithm from detecting the handover. If you somehow overcome this, you need to ensure that the employee never ever, for any reason ever logs into anything personal on the gated devices. It basically means preventing them from using the internet. How productive are developers who can't go online? It also means zero cross-communication to outside the zone. No emails to/from home/work. No sending files, no checking emails, no taking calls (someone could easily use a connected service to make the call). This "air" gap is extremely difficult to enforce.

I've ever seen anyone successfully pull off this kind of secrecy in anything larger than a 10 person team, and the cost was insane.

It feels like the performance was one of the key selling points of stuff like Gatsby, but in reality it scored absymaly on all metrics compared to a vanilla WordPress installation on a $5 DO droplet.
> I'm only taking issue with the 'code only' crowd who are claiming that it's just as easy to SELECT an object via code as with a mouse.

Where are these people? I see people saying it's possible, not saying it's just as easy. If you've got two different interaction modes, then some things are going to be easier in one than in the other, and vice versa. Otherwise there would be One True Interface, Autodesk would have patented the hell out of it, and nothing else would be worth building.

Yes. I know. That's the mountain of hacks I was talking about upthread. And there's not a lot in there that you couldn't represent textually.

Already seen it, thanks.
I get the sentiment that is being expressed but there are just so many games out there I don’t get the complaint. I play zero games that have loot boxes or pay 2 win functionality. I guess the AAA titles get a lot of press but I’m overwhelmed by how many good games that are out there. I think the complaint may be mostly relegated to online multiplayer games, something that in my age I care very little about. Online Co-op games on the other hand or single player games are my jam.
I understand that. You need to get your lawyers and their lawyers to come together then to draft a contract and have enough money ready to fight something if they breach on their end. That in itself is usually enough to avoid it.

If you want to proceed, remember you are dealing with people that don't care about being fair. You may have the mindset, hey I want to make this more fair for myself. They will have a mindset of, what can we do to make this person think this is fair but still exploit them to the fullest potential and make sure we are protected to the fullest extent possible.
I wasn't talking about the results and relevance of this particular paper but I was replying to a cheap, offhand generalisation.

No doubt that one needs to be cautious about animal tests but they do work and are highly effective in many cases, especially for finding indications of possible effects on humans. Or is that not true?
Unlimited free refills on sodas at restaurants didn't become normal to the point of being the expected default, IIRC, until the mid 90s or later.

I think the effects of the unlimited-refills thing, and (relatedly) of to-go soda cup sizes becoming insanely large, doesn't explain the whole thing but probably is a big enough factor to be worth looking at.
That’s the problem with all these abstracted types of legislation.

All it would take is to reestablish that you are the sole owner of your information that is your property, as has been established by the courts, and it cannot be sold without a formal contract, e.g., the way real estate is transferred; and that any tracking is illegal stalking and wire fraud (because it is) just like tapping someone’s phone would be since it is using the public internet. Alternately, these companies can stop relying on the public internet for illegal criminal actions and fraud, and build their own internet if they want to track and stalk people.

The law exists, it doesn’t matter what other laws you make when none, even the fundamental Constitutional law, is not enforced and simply ignored. We have too many people who have these narcissistic perceptions that the real problem is that their pet legislation hasn’t been added to the mountain of legislation; when the real problem is people trying to control others, some in business, some through legislation.

If the general public does not recognize this soon, the clutter of legalization will become a prison, if it isn’t already.

I think a lot of these new text editors would be well served by making it easy to set emacs/vi/windows keyboard shortcuts if they're trying to reach a wider audience. Once their value is established then the people using them would be more likely to move to the native keyboard shortcuts. I'm talking about switch a flag like "shortcut_keys_config=vim" not setting a hundred shortcuts manually :)
Thanks for that correction. Still totally horrible but not as bad as what I said it was.
You kinda have to rely on npm for frontend development for the web though. Frameworks for compile-to-js languages are not mature enough.

Also, composer and pip theoretically have the same issues as npm.
Learn how to lead from any position. You don't need to be promoted to lead.

Do things like teaching and mentoring, build consensus around decisions, involve people in your thought process early, actively seek out feedback on your ideas, alleviate people's concerns, help out where you can, be empathetic, work freely with anyone in the organisation as needed, gather data to support your opinions.

You'll soon be at a hub in the informal "attention network" that truly decides who calls the shots. Handle it with care and use it for good.
Need advice on tech stack for web based chat aggregator
I don't know where else to ask for advice on this. So, excuse me, if it's not the right place.

I'm thinking of creating a hobby project. It's a web based chat aggregator with plugin system so that 3rd party developers can integrate more chat apps.

I specifically chose this one because I have no idea how to start making it. What tech stack should I use? What kind of architecture should I choose?
Thanks... how do we do reporting/dashboards/alerts with Promscale?

Also, any performance benchmarks?
Most political consulting firms do the majority of their work for a single party, so they can reasonably be identified as either "Republican" or "Democratic". Some non-nefarious reasons why this clustering tends to occur:

* The firms are the next career stepping stone for campaign workers. If you have worked on half a dozen Democratic campaigns, you presumably believe in the cause and are unlikely to want to start working on Republican campaigns where you disagree with the candidate. (Maybe you won't be as good at working on GOP campaigns either).
* If you are a politician, you are unlikely to be too excited to hire the firm that in the last election cycle wrote an ad trashing some of the positions you old. You are also more likely to get referred to a firm by a politician from the same party as you.

You might have firms that work with both parties, but they are likely to be working with centrist candidates from those parties.

So if this is a strategy firm that has mostly done political work for Republican candidates and causes, it seems perfectly reasonable to call it a "Republican strategy firm"
No, there are still plenty of electrons. You start with hydrogen (one proton, one electron) and boron (five protons, five electrons). You end with three heliums (each with two proton, two electrons).

The energy isn't extracted because of a build-up of charge. What happens is that each nuclear reaction is a tiny explosion. The helium nuclei shoot out really fast, and they're positively charged. You just need them to push through a magnetic field, and then you're getting electricity, like any generator moving magnets through a coil.
"- If the only purpose you have in a job is to make money for yourself I think we can go ahead and eliminate that job."

Wait, what? That literally is the purpose of the job for the employee. If you don't agree, try setting total compensation to zero and see who continues to show up.

You can ask Apple people to escalate to second tier support and beyond that if warranted they will even pull in engineering (not to talk to you directly but to resolve the issues behind the scenes). And with Apple you are talking to humans who also happen to be good communicators in my experience.

If you’re having trouble with Apple, it’s probably you.
> the free market can't really be deemed an ideology

The free market isn't an ideology much like money isn't an ideology. Putting the free market in charge of certain aspects of society however is very much an ideological decision, though. Ideology doesn't stop being ideology just because you agree with it (although there are certainly plenty of political candidates throughout history who claim to not adhere to any ideologies). For example anarchists are somewhat open to market economies while state communists usually advocate for central planning and libertarians are strongly in favor of free market maximalism, believing that for a free market to work at its best it needs to be free of all regulations (tho usually still maintaing some rule of law to prevent a real world equivalent of EVE Online's corporate warfare).

I'm not saying privatization is good or bad, I'm just saying that the underlying ideology of the past decades in Germany has been that we should privatize as much as possible and where privatization is not possible we should at least reproduce a free market system as closely as possible (e.g. we have multiple competing public healthcare providers despite having strict regulations that mean they all provide very similar levels of care).

> Many states do this.

We do have people in government agencies "doing cyber". We just don't have a government owned software development department developing malware for government agencies to use, just like we don't have a government owned weapons manufacturing department developing weapons for the police and military.

We do have the government owning shares (even majority shares) in private (or rather publicly traded) companies though. But often these are in privatized branches of the government (e.g. Deutsche Bahn) or companies that are naturally monopolistic. Buying out a private software development company would go against the spirit of the free market as it would eliminate competition.
Recruiters face competition as tech decentralizes from Silicon Valley
It would be strange if AMD didn't offer this on Ryzens. First, they don't have a history of locking people out of instruction sets. Second, they need it for being competitive with Intel anyway. Third, they're using the same die for multiple purposes, not like Intel with separate server dies for Xeons.
> just be good at two or three different fields and see what happens when you combine them.

"Jack of all trades, master of some." That's been my goal for most of my life.
Agreed. I'm facing this right now with my Amazon account, and posted a question related to it. Basically they detected something suspicious, locked my account a while ago, and now the account is irrecoverable for an opaque set of reasons that they won't elaborate on. I feel totally fucked.
Ok then explain why the testosterone reference ranges have went from like 800-2000 in the 60s to 200-800 now. Not just obese people, a "normal" healthy young man these days has the test levels of like a 60-80 hear old then. I think it's something more than just obesity causing endocrine disruption.

Apple Silicon has IOMMUs on everything - you generally can't exploit a bug in a coprocessor to gain more access on the main application processor (or another coprocessor). The only hardware bugs with security implications we've found was stuff like M1RACLES, which is merely a covert channel (and it's discoverer doesn't even think it's a problem). Apple does a pretty good job of making sure even their private/internal stuff is secure.

it's correct to say: "to make things worse".

This is not very scientific at all, but I see Waymo and Cruise cars driving around SF all the time. Waymo cars appear to drive much more naturally than Cruise to my eyes.
Yes, but if you read closely, you'll find that OP never actually said that employee "H" was removed from their Google Play account. Instead, they say that "H [had] all permissions removed except on one game which we were still using H.'s consultation on - The app was unpublished later on". So H was still associated with the company's developer account as part of the unpublished game.
Unix timestamp assumes there are exactly 86400 seconds in a day. Or, in other words, if your timestamp is a multiple of 86400, it's midnight UTC.

There are not alway 86400s in 1 day. Midnight is not a whole number of multiples of 86400 after Jan 1st 1970.
And it's the end of the era of a few friends building an app together and spinning it into a startup.
The consulting company markets itself as a Republican/conservative operation. If it was important enough for them to put it front and center on their own website, it makes sense to include that info in the article.
Generalizations about the community like that are basically spurious unless you have real data. People on all sides of every issue feel that HN is dominated by the view they happen to dislike. It's a mechanism of perception:

Ah ok. I have done that as well. Deepspeech and Speechbrain and the other open source models for transcription are unfortunately not good. Probably because they don't have enough training data relative to the big guys. You should show CLIP - probably the best open source model I have seen as it was trained on a huge corpus.
This is great. Thank you for answer and good luck!
Amazon has it for 35 US dollars right now. Normally 80.
Isn't BNNS documented to run on the CPU? Why would you expect it to use the neural engine? Apple also has Metal Performance Shaders which of course run on the GPU only. The user accessible API for the neural engine is Core ML. Very high level unfortunately.

Hmm, it seems like there's also a new API that can use the neural engine sometimes, "ML Compute". But only for inference? https://developer.apple.com/documentation/mlcompute/mlcdevic...

There is a development in fiction that is driven more by characters and settings than by story. Star Trek and Marvel Comics are definite examples.

Pretty obviously video games give you a chance to go visit a setting and interact with characters so they fit in well with that.

If human judgement is based on flawed AI output - the judgement will be flawed.
Just as a counter point, I wrote a book because I wanted to prove to myself that I could. It will probably never see the light of day, but I did it and I found the experience valuable. But, maybe you are just talking about people who sell books? In that case, I think the majority of authors are not getting rich, famous, or hired for the number of books on their resume.
Is this the project you guys referenced using Apache Arrow for?
Specifically unix timestamp is (number of days since 1970-01-01 × 86400) + (seconds since midnight). The difference arises from the fact that in utc some days are 86401 seconds long.

Another way of viewing it is that unix timestamp is seconds since 1970-01-01 minus number of leap seconds that have passed.
200ms -> 100ms for a whole request (not just a tiny part of a request) is indeed worthwhile, I never meant to disagree with that. But for micro-optimisations, you'd be lucky to get a 10% speed increase in 10% of things you do, which would only give only a speed increase of 1% overall (obviously those are made up numbers to illustrate the idea). As I said in my first comment, usually the actual gains come from using a different data structures or making vectorised calls in to C libraries, and I assume that's what you mean by the effective refactorings in your case.
Apple, Google settle lawsuit alleging hiring conspiracy (2014)

Anything has to be better than what we have today…
That's not what "distributed system" means.
I have been blogging for twenty years, unfortunately, not on same blog though. But I was also using WordPress and comment spam was virtually nil.

For me the big issues was lack of comments. It made my blogs look like no one was reading them. So I turned off comments.

Then I realized all other functionality of WordPress was geared towards businesses or marketers. I don't need every blog post to automatically spam all of my social networks. It was just extra work to keep WordPress secure and updated.

So I moved to static site generator, and if I want to share certain posts, I will manually share with friends. Much better engagement and comments this way.
OP never said that "there was no current association with the companies account". In fact, they say explicitly that there was an association, because H still had permissions on an (unpublished) game that was part of their Play Store account.
Maybe it was flagged?

I know we'll have driverless cars within ten-years, and I know there will be benefits, but has any government yet started planning for the relatively near-instant transformation of the Trucker and Taxi industry once this "works"?

The fall-out is going to be intense:

* Fuel-stops are going to change completely, what's the point of half of the motels on long-haul drives when your car can drive all night and likely recharge automatically at a stop-point.

* Reduced downtime on goods movement will impact uptime in every other industry.

* Autonomous-vehicle-only lanes that line up with traffic timings creating a two-tier driving experience

* Huge influx of unemployed drivers who I guess might get "chauffeur" style jobs.

* Security issues, complex legal issues when there's accidents.

* Fake taxi's that drive a customer into a bad experience for "lols".

I know all this is extreme, but if history is studying the past to understand the present, science-fiction is studying the "future" to predict the problems of tomorrow.
Keep working on this. It’s a splendid idea. Would be cool to eventually have a recipe where you import the crate, then program the deploy in rust, invoking your tool which builds my-build.rs, or a proper cargo build.

The following not true apples to apples, but pretty close. Rather than another crummy stringy DSL, the ocaml community said “we want to program our CI pipelines in OCaml”. So, they created https://github.com/ocurrent/ocurrent. You build your pipeline in an incredible language—then the CI server simply invokes your pipeline code, assuming you’ve implemented a basic interface.
