Venture Capital moves us between a distribution crazy entrepreneur to a hacker who sits down and creates, instead.

Though there’s a lot of chatter about funding the current situation, but this rodeo ain’t for the first time[1].

I should clarify: I didn't mean to say nothing[1], but it's certainly not common. The vast majority of server stuff at Apple is written in Java (which goes way back), with Go becoming more and more common and some Rust popping in around the lower level stuff. I'm sure there's some Swift in there somewhere but it wasn't anywhere I could see while I worked there.

Ironically, I was involved in the effort to port swift to linux so you'd think I'd know. The team I was on eventually moved most of our work to Rust (it was, also unusual for apple, written in C before).

[1] And anyone who would ever come into HN and tell you anything about what goes on inside apple could never tell you anything with that level of certainty because even in Services where things are generally more open, stuff is still very siloed and fragmented and no one has a complete picture of what's out there.
This is a neat idea. It's almost like following someone's brain.

which begs the quotation: is there such a thing as a “firewall” for terminals?

my idea is to limit the terminal’s cpu usage so that any breach does not spread quickly in the system, and maybe limit the terminal’s network access, but leave the shell out of it. idk if the last part is possible.
Yes? That's how it works, not sure what you mean.
Okay, but they're Apple. They could add jails. They could even hack it in by dropping in FreeBSD code, again. (Yes, XNU isn't really BSD, but they're kind of BSD when facing towards userspace so it should work.)
If you ask enough people the same question, it's easy to identify and drop outlier answers.
Starting a company in a regulated field is hard. With unregulated fields like most internet companies, you "just do it" -- as long as you pay your taxes, the government will pretty much leave you alone. In a regulated field, the hard part is not following the rules but merely trying to figure out what the rules are. People who haven't dealt with this are probably picturing something straightforward and readable like "thou shalt not put poison in the groundwater" but what you really get is thousands of pages of incomprehensible nonsense that you don't stand a chance of understanding on your own. There are law firms that can help with this, but now it's scary and expensive enough that the 18 year old founders will stay away.

In purely unregulated fields like web hosting, there are tens of thousands of competitors because it's easy to create one. It's true that someone could go around buying up a bunch of them (and companies have done this), but even after they're done there are still thousands of competitors remaining. If a regulatory agency wrote couple thousand pages of rules for web hosts, many existing owners would probably sell their companies rather than embark of the emotionally draining task of trying to make sense of those rules.

Ironically, as the number of competitors declines, the ones that remain will feel more free to abuse both employees and customers. This will lead to demands for more regulation, which reduces the number of competitors further, and so on it goes.
Well, the one time I traveled to Europe with an infant, I brought enough formula along for the duration of the trip. Not so much because I didn't trust what would be available locally, but because I knew there were no issues with the formula we were using and didn't want to deal with potential digestive upset or worse on the trip.

The October-Revolution in Russia was more like a coup.

Germany had a revolution that ushered in the Weimar Republic. Both countries had essentially just lost a war at that time.

> I guess there's a traditional division between 'really existing socialism', which is often messy, and marxism as a body of work for understanding society.

Marxisms is pretty useless for that. Useless in the technical sense that knowing just mainstream economics is as effective as knowing mainstream economics plus Marxism.

(Not useless in the more absolute sense of knowing nothing vs knowing Marxism. Basically, wherever Marxism deviates from modern mainstream economics, it's useless.)
How do you value equity in a public company like Netflix or Shopify? I don't think you're wrong, taking it further it's really hard to value anything but AAMG (not FAANG lol) at face value.
The reason it works is nothing has time to get out of the way - all this is well past the speed of sounds for all materials involved. So the action/reaction is happening - the gas from the explosive is recoiling for instance - but it only has time to go a few inches and the forces and counter forces are immense.

Engineers can automate tasks that would otherwise require an entire department, but we're "lucky" to be in demand? Functional businesses profit immensely from hiring competent engineers, this is why we're in demand.

Moving like that without tearing it apart. It’s easier to use the explosive to spread the force over a wider area initially but in a way that the projectile is formed by the concentration of the explosive forces mashing it all together. Weird.
Not as good as the American version. Which seems to be a recurring theme.
Coffee's videos are great. I am a crypto enthusiast but also recognize that for each semi decent project there are 1000 more that are straight up scams. We need more folks like Coffee exposing these people in order to help clean the space.

Building a PC should be expected to require a certain level of RTFM that I don't you can responsibly expect from people just trying to charge their phone or plug in peripherals.
> rights that you, as a cis person, are willing to give them?

The problem with these particular "rights" is that they are not actually rights, but impositions on the rights of others.

It's disingenuous to compare being trans to race or being gay. Race and orientation is an immutable characteristic of the person.

As yet, gender dysmorphia is recognized as a mental illness, which requires therapy, hormones and surgery to accommodate or treat. Arguments about these particular trans rights can also apply to, for example, the rights of schizophrenics to have their delusions indulged by everyone else.

With self-identification, the problem of "rights" becomes even more intractable, because unlike race or orientation, one can just declare oneself "trans" and thereby gain access to, say, physically weaker athletic opponents. Or to more vulnerable sexual prey, in the case of prisons.
And it wouldn't matter too much (within reason): we have vastly more O2 in the atmosphere than CO2 we want to get rid of.
>when it comes to Pluton, or the AMD and Intel management engines, they're making sure you can't buy a product without them at any price.

Not only that but under the guise of "recycling", many 18-wheelers of perfectly functional PCs are being destroyed rather than re-purposed and these are primarily the ones powerful enough to run the latest OS's.

Anything decently powerful lacking the encumbrance of the hardware ME/TPM generation is the prime target of the agressive destructive effort.

So if Google services behave in a tone-deaf way regarding the culture and languages of non-western countries, now it's the fault of us the foreigners for not contributing enough to the AI?
Ask HN: HN – Will M$ counter META with a BLIZZARDesqq universe of their own?
Seems to me that "World of Warcraft" is pretty much a metaverse already with multi-dimensional, cross realm instances etc., and considering Battle.net's VOIP features, I can't figure out what META can offer that is not possible with BLZ. already. Other than a bit of code for a headset (Probably already exists in an addon...I haven't checked) and maybe a subscription free F2P scheme.

Is it possible that M$ is just waiting for the right time to enter the fray?

Even so, when we do get CCS for Tesla, that is yet another piece of good news for Tesla, because then we will have even more charging options over and above having the best Supercharger network, so the Porsche team will do well to get good at buying publicity.

Don’t be confused, I’m not saying all this to gloat, but more to say you should think twice before spending money on a competing car if you are relying on sketch events for data points.
That isn't true. For example, I taught YouTube to not show me animal videos, and now it basically never suggests them to me Like once a month one of them pops up and I just block it and then things are fine again.
> There is general agreement that dietary intake is the largest source of PFAS exposure rather than inhalation or dermal contact [...] For PFOA, EFSA suggested the most important sources of chronic exposure were milk and dairy products for toddlers (up to 86% of exposure), drinking water (up to 60% for infants), and fish and other seafood (up to 56% in elderly).

Sounds like choosing the wrong environment for the application. A console terminal is for displaying console text. It needs 8, maybe 16 distinct colors. Some might argue it doesn't need colors at all.
> How truly "empirical" is said research or any research in psychometrics?

My understanding is that IQ researchers invented a lot of the statistical techniques used across the social sciences today, and I think faired the "reproducibility crisis" fairly well. It's about as empirical as the social sciences get.

> I've seen many of the claim correlations of IQ with "success" like career trajectories, divorce rates, better health and longevity, etc.. However, I've yet to see any strong correlations. Does IQ have a correlation stronger than 0.5 with anything?

0.5 correlation is pretty big in the social sciences. I mean, think about: there are probably hundreds or thousands of factors that influence your life outcome. Much of the differences we see tends to come down to what researchers call "non-shared environment", which is just a fancy term for all the random stuff that happens in your life.

For a single factor to have such a large effect is pretty amazing.

> IIRC, I am pretty sure parental income, or lack thereof, is a better predictor of "success" than IQ.

A lot of which can be explained by the parents' IQ.

IQ doesn't explain everything, not by a long shot. It just explains more than any other single factor, and should generally be something researchers should control for whenever they attempt to measure some other phenomenon.

How do you define classes?

For something that sounds similar:

When people didn't understand soil and biology very well, fields needed long fallow periods to recover from growing wheat and other crops.

As part of the British Agricultural Revolution, they figured out that they could plant turnips and clover instead:

> One important change in farming methods was the move in crop rotation to turnips and clover in place of fallow. Turnips can be grown in winter and are deep-rooted, allowing them to gather minerals unavailable to shallow-rooted crops. Clover fixes nitrogen from the atmosphere into a form of fertiliser. This permitted the intensive arable cultivation of light soils on enclosed farms and provided fodder to support increased livestock numbers whose manure added further to soil fertility.

v3 does work, but you need to guess the appropriate region.

The Bayern.sxl example works, and is a good way to prove to yourself that your terminal is compatible, instead of your hoped-for region not being indexed.

You only need marshling if one of your languages is using a bad data layout. Julia stores strings as a a length plus a pointer to Uint8 data. Julia structs have the same layout as C (you may need to specify padding in C, but that's easy enough). Arrays of immutable structs are also usually stored inline. There are definitely some types of objects that you might need to marshal (eg Dicts or other more complicated data structures), but for all of the basic stuff (lists of floats etc), Julia can still just pass a pointer.
So you are saying that "weather right now" shouldn't be a reading from weather station?
Private practices in the US have been declining for decades. Most Doctors today are employed by a hospital or other provider network. This trend has only accelerated since the pandemic as well. As a result of this Doctors have had no choice but to run their practices as a business. This is why they now require you to have a credit card on file, why there's cancellation fees, and why you don't actually see the Doctor until almost an hour after your appointment. They are simply triple and quadruple-booked. They can not choose their volume. This trend has been well-documented. See:

I agree, there is rarely any good content on there and it mostly just creates echo chambers. No actual value is really extracted from using Tik tok.

Small rocket engines can be made with some pyrodex, dowels, and cardboard tubes.

Most high explosives involve nitric acid of decent concentration.

It’s hard to make them in quantities small enough to be actually not dangerous, especially since many of the compounds will react with all sorts of normal everyday substances (like aluminum, copper, etc) to form even more unstable compounds.

Some of them can even explode on exposure to light.

The two are not in the same ballpark. I wouldn’t recommend high explosive synthesis without a solid grounding in organic and inorganic chemistry.

Even a pea sized portion of these compounds can remove a finger or part of a hand, or blind you.

If you still want to know more ‘The Chemistry of Powders and Explosives’ is a good read.
Yeah is there a list of the sxl regions? I tried a few, like Paris, and they didn't work so I gave up.
Firstly, congrats on the weight loss. 30 pounds is huge. It sounds like you're on the right track.

My thoughts on hunger: I used to treat hunger as if my body was signalling that it needed food right to survive. Then one day I got sick and couldn't keep food down -- even though I was hungry -- so I stopped eating. To my surprise, my hunger went away. After the sickness had passed, eating anything at all would give me tremendous heartburn, so I continued not eating for about another week. I found it unusual that I could walk the streets in a completely fasted state, my body cannibalising its own muscle and fat reserves, and not feel any hunger at all. To me, it demonstrated that hunger wasn't the 'you require food right now' signal that I thought it was. It must mean something else.

When I began eating again, my hunger returned.

I walked away from that experience with a recalibrated understanding of hunger. It now seems more like a suggestion from the body: 'this is the time that food is usually available, so you should eat if at all possible, because we can't be sure when food will be available again', rather than 'I require food right now to survive'.

Putting the right kind of extra dirt is in the same class. Fertilizer can increase yields by 20% or more. That’s a magic bullet. Technology is nothing but the quest for magic bullets.
To tell you the truth, I almost don't want to spoil it for you. Your particular interest, at the intersection of media and AI, makes me believe that you would find the book worthwhile.

The structure and exposition of his arguments is what makes the text particularly engrossing, and I am loath to try to summarize what is best experienced within its intended context.

But I'll give you some copied paste from Wikipedia to get you started:

> McLuhan's insight was that a medium affects the society in which it plays a role not by the content delivered over the medium, but by the characteristics of the medium itself.
I don't know if anyone in this thread uses YouTube, but its algorithm is insanely quick to adapt and videos you see on home page and in recommendations entirely depend on what you have watched before. Watch a video, see your home page change; watch a ton and it will reflect your preferences. (It also makes an attempt to list the topics it thinks you prefer and offers additional separate home page for each, as well as one for videos not matching any topic but still possibly of interest to you.)

Everything about TikTok's algorithmic malleability can be said about YouTube, so I am confused as to why this is news to anyone.

One difference is that YT also has longer videos. Unlike fixed-length blurbs of TT, this increases the challenge for recommendation algorithms, but I welcome this heterogeneity.
> I thought Instagram was bad.

Back in the early 2010s it mainly consisted of hip - actually cool photography feeds.

I don’t recall TikTok not being a cesspool since its early days of operation.
Just like the "Putin cancer" narrative, it's to keep morale and anti-Russia sentiment high domestically. If their fighters think a few more victories can make Russia collapse and end the war, then they will fight harder.

I think that is probably excessive, a terminal is hardly as complex as a web browser.

screen or tmux (or even mosh) can essentially act as a terminal firewall, as they interpret escape sequences and maintain a virtual “screen”. Then you can sandbox their process in docker or similar.

Or if you want web browser style sandboxing maybe just using Xterm.js could work.

And it’s not just FAANG. Silicon Valley seems to have discovered that Canadian universities churn out a lot of skilled graduates - many who come from third countries via generous student visas.

I think the reality is that inertia is a big factor. Changing jobs is not a smooth easy process necessarily. I think companies are fine with a certain percent loss of employees in attrition and if it gets too high they'll start trying to fix it, but not before.
It is a very simple game. There is a ball that is advancing by itself. You can decide if this ball should dash or not by pressing the "Dash" button.
There are walls in the way that gets destroyed when the ball touches them.
But be careful! There are also walls that you cannot destroy. They will make you restart the stage if you touch them.
Consider the following pseudo-Java:

Object foo = ...
if (foo instanceof String) {
System.out.println(foo.toLowerCase())
}

The above is not valid Java, because foo has type Object, which does not have a toLowerCase() method, so the compiler refuses to compile it. What you need to do is something like:

Object foo = ...
if (foo instanceof String) {
String sfoo = (String) foo
System.out.println(sfoo.toLowerCase())
}

Granted, you don't necessarily need to explicitly redefine in, as Java allows anonymous casting:

Object foo = ...
if (foo instanceof String) {
System.out.println(((String) foo).toLowerCase())
}

Regardless, the point still stands. Java (and most strongly typed languages with an inheritance based type system) requires an explicit cast, even if a straight forward static analysis would show that the object in question is already the desired type.
