Yes, I absolutely would. I think a better question is would I want other people to use a bread slicer that chopped my fingers off on average less than they did with a manual version. You might think more highly of your own abilities, but raising the average is worthwhile even if not perfect.

Everyone is taxed. The big guys with more valuable trademarks even more.
They'll force more people into the lower buckets of the stack rank. It’s very dystopian in its simplicity.
Here’s a prediction, operations middle management will be unchanged while the rest of the plebs have their lives made more difficult.

Just go on LinkedIn and search for “Director, Operations” at meta. I know of directors who have gotten there simply by hiring two “layers” of management under them.

This is a company that has paid well above market for Ops “talent” and the MBAs that dot the insides of the firm do very little. Nonexistent support, hacked accounts everywhere, no one cares. This isn’t an engineering problem, it’s a bad bad political problem within operations.
> The issue is not polarization. The issue is that pro-democravy groups did not polarized more radically against minority destroying both democracy and country itself.

IMHO, the issue is polarization. In large part, it's prevented the pro-democracy groups from prioritizing their issues to actually successfully defend democracy, and kept them trapped in the same old partisan modes. The result? Stuff like Democrats literally spending tons of money to support extremist election-denier Republicans, because they think they'll be easier to beat later (I suppose like Donald Trump was?).

In your example it's more like trusting the mobsters that prosecutors are investigating.
That's conflating a licensing choice with a business goal. Slapping an open source license on code isn't a business model. Licensing choices do inform what kind of business model the author of the code is going to follow.

The main difference between open / closed source is that the IP is or isn't sold for a licensing fee itself. If the latter is true, you need an alternate business model. One alternative is selling something tangential to your project: typically expertise in installing, operating, maintaining the code. Consultancy. Another alternative is leveraging open source software to sell a service: hosting, CRM, managed services, social media, etc. etc.

All of a sudden, open source becomes very profitable.

>This whole system really highlights a flaw in using a 200 year old document as the basis of our legal system. Pervasive surveillance in the form of video cameras, photographs, audio, and now Google search requests wasn't really a thing at the time.

A fair point, but the controlling "document" isn't 200 years old. In fact, it's 46 years old[0] and is called the Third-Party Doctrine:

"The third-party doctrine is a United States legal doctrine that holds that people who voluntarily give information to third parties—such as banks, phone companies, internet service providers (ISPs), and e-mail servers—have "no reasonable expectation of privacy" in that information. A lack of privacy protection allows the United States government to obtain information from third parties without a legal warrant and without otherwise complying with the Fourth Amendment prohibition against search and seizure without probable cause and a judicial search warrant"

The tl;dr is that if you voluntarily give a third party (not the government and not you) information (e.g., web search requests), that information is not protected under the 4th Amendment.

As such, even though the police got a warrant, it wasn't necessary for them to do so unless Google balked at providing the information.

Vim has had a long life before being moved to GitHub and it still isn't developed the GitHub way anyway, so those graphs are meaningless.

In theory, you can tax moustaches. But why would you?

Colours that people can differentiate as trademarks as sort-of in fixed supply for any one industry. So similar arguments like those for land value tax (or a tax on spectrum) apply here.

Those arguments don't apply for a tax on capital.
Everyone knows it has to happen, one way or another. If the US can hide behind 'but China isn't reducing emissions' then so can China hide behind the US. etc. etc.
And emissions per capita in China are still much lower than the US and of my native Netherlands, where the same argument is used.
Obviously there is no failsafe that pulls the car over, otherwise you would see that the cars had pulled over. This might be annoying on city streets but imagine if it were on the highway. An almost guaranteed 50 car pileup. If history is any guide, this will actually happen in the next few years and be followed by a lawsuit and regulation.
Weird. There are some impressive examples and then it fails spectacularly e.g. by simply removing all square root signs at one step.

Given that type of failure I must conclude the model didnt learn essential fundamentals of math reasoning (i guess it was clear from the start it is not built to do so).

I would like to have an interactive demo where I can type tasks for it.
If that means cars replacing public transportation, no thank you.
> Just like in math

I might be wrong, but I think math favors different starting indices based on the subject matter. I've seen Analysis textbooks favor 0 as the starting index. I don't think there's a clear argument for cultural transference from math.

I'm opposed to starting index from 1 because I think departure from very mainstream programming tradition should have a strong reason beyond preference, even if the de facto tradition appears equally capricious.
Love this memory, thanks for sharing. I remember doing the same thing to school computers. The challenge was being subtle enough to avoid detection from the teaching staff, but funny enough to be noticed and appreciated by the rest of the students. Funny being entirely subjective, of course!
This; it’s been one of the biggest disappointments in my adult life to realize how many legal adults are so incredibly immature, with such inflated yet fragile egos, that merely apologizing to even someone in their own family is totally out of the question. Another is realizing how many people are so willfully ignorant yet dogmatic. I had some suspicions growing up, and even into my twenties I was still quite naive. Being surrounded by nerdy friends who were also generally professionals in a technical field definitely insulated me from the general public enough that it took another decade for it to really sink in. These days it just all feels a bit lonely (especially with COVID), but the spark of meeting kindred spirits still makes it worth it to attempt to have a social life. True friends are rare.

Ask HN: How do you make decisions with high opportunity costs?
Dear HN, I'm pathologically terrible at making important decisions, and I can't step away from them to the point it's making me physically nauseous.

Right now, I'm deciding between a master's in the biomedical field that I long dreamed of, and working as a SWE. I used to be certain I'd want to become a researcher, but in recent months I have either lost my idealism or became more pragmatic. I'm very close to receiving an offer as a SWE at a company that looks like a super nice company, remote options, interesting work, with a lot of opportunities to grow. The recruiter and developers I interviewed with seemed extremely nice and happy to talk about the company.
There are two offices in two European cities I like and that employees apparently can choose pretty flexibly to work in, which is cool.

The master's program involves about a year of (unpaid) lab work, so I started to ask myself what's the point of putting myself through this if I'm not planning on doing a PhD afterwards (it's in Europe, tuition is cheap.) At the same time, I have always been a scientifically minded/interested person, and getting more actual research experience and training in scientific working might be rewarding in itself, and except for the last months I was always more passionate about science than working in software development and chasing a big paycheck. Plus, I think I would prefer seeing myself as a scientist who ended up in SWE due to the better working conditions, and somehow prove to myself that I can do it by doing the masters.

Clearly this is a very emotionally loaded decision for me, so I'd like to ask for guidance and hear about how anyone who's been in a similar situation came to make a decision.

Also, would doing a masters in an unrelated field make me a less attractive candidate when later applying for junior SWE roles and I already graduated 2 years ago?
As long as they can afford the tax?
That only tells you that it should be worth more than $200m to Amazon that this does not happen.

That is nothing different than a yearly tax on holding a trademark. There the obvious issue is that companies can just lie to pay less taxes.

Easy solution: let the market decide. You say it is worth X -> If that number is right you should be more than happy to sell for 100X. If you are not happy to sell for that, that means you cheated on your tax.

Inb4: But then big companies can just buy you for 100 times your value.

... yeah, and? That is already the case and for many companies (e.g. all of ycombinator funded startups) that is even a goal.

Yes, they changed it effective this year. No more summer PSC, just the January one.

"Just kidding, we're actually going full Hunger Games with the new once-a-year cycle!"
This again focuses on the language rather than the environment. The real issue is all the legacy integrations, and the runtime environment, not the language. A transpiler is solving the easiest part while leaving all the difficult problems unaddressed.
And in my mind emission per capita is only metric that is fair. And it should be calculated to include exports and imports thus transferring the emissions to where the goods produced are actually consumed.

> I think you're largely missing the point of this article, which mostly summarizes a novel technique for comparing gut biome diversity

As I already said, it doesn’t largely do that. It mentions it in literally one paragraph that is itself mostly fluff.

The most substantive line is literally “with computers”:

> With computers, they were able to compile the fragments of DNA sequenced into whole genomes of the gut microbes present.

There’s no further mention of how these computers work or what they do or what is novel about them. And that’s the most interesting part of the piece.
Honestly, I thought exactly the same thing when I saw it.
Haha, not in the codebase I was working in at the time. Paddings being manipulated programmatically all over the place.

This is basically no change to the current system as it depends on honesty.

Now, it is "Don't do this and be honest about it"
You propose "Do this, and be honest about it"

I mean, if you weren't being honest before, I highly doubt you'd be honest now. It'll be like buying a used car at that point. All the seller has to do is lie, which will be easy if there are only 5 people in the company that knows of its doom. It isn't like they are going to talk to the buyer personally, either.
The main selling point of VSCode is their extension ecosystem. Most extensions are open source / created by the community. In essence, Microsoft channels FOSS work by third parties in order to create a pipeline for upselling their products and services.

Lifespan is a poor metric for quality of life. You can be alive whilst being plagued by multiple illness. Healthspan is what is important (how long you can live without suffering from a major ailment) and that is where gut microbiome plays an important role.

Is anyone using Dall-E, Imagen, or any other generative model for art to create commercial products? If so, they're probably also concerned about copyright issues.

CoPilot is being offered for widespread commercial use, so it's held to a higher standard. Respecting copyright is much more important when you're building a business and not just sharing fun AI art on social media.
Exploit injection via a specially crafted visual "code" a pedestrian flashed at one car that was then picked up by one of the cameras and executed by their ML system resulting in a take over of the entire server. /f
I suspect these cars having problems in SF are using a centralized solution, so they are dependent on some server.

The better approach is decentralized, with each car built to always fend for itself without a server, imho.
Now I wonder how is this talking to each other done? Is it some centralized cloud service? Or some type of extremely complicated mesh? Both seem to have quite critical risk factors. It is not unseen for clouds to go down and self-organizing mesh networks might not be the stablest things, or even risk free...

I find it curious that the same pattern as the abortion decision repeats. The initial decision post on HN gets high in the top, is wildly discussed, with lots of armchair lawyers chiming in (making it obviously something that "piques one's interest"). However any of the follow-up posts, with interpretations from media/experts/whatever gets flagged to death.

Why? Apparently the topic was interesting enough for HN.

It’s interesting because slashing hiring plans at a big company is almost akin to a full fledged layoff at a later stage private company. Simply because of attrition levels at these large companies, just stop hiring and stay put for a while and you’ve trimmed size. Way different for a startup where people are sticking around for a payday.

Have you had the chance to report those random crashes as bugs (against Electron or your compositor?) I figure that would be helpful for all.

I’ve been using Electron apps natively on Wayland for quite a while with those force-enable flags you mentioned.
Few issues so far.

At one point, the apps indeed started crashing. Turns out this was due to the compositor (wl-roots) evolving while the Chromium team didn’t get the memo. They quickly fixed it in Chromium though but not before people started filing bugs. Didn’t take long for their patch to bubble up to the next Electron patch release.

The sooner people report those crashes, the better for everyone involved.
The bait and switch with this comparison is you're comparing something you have no control over (bread slicer which randomly malfunctions) against something you have full control over (my own cutting abilities). No one thinks their cutting ability is inferior, so of course they don't want to give up control, because they are (obviously) better than the average human.

If I posed the question as: Would you prefer to place your hand next to a machine which will accidentally cut your finger off once every 100,000 cuts, or a human chef that will accidentally cut your finger off every once every 50,000 cuts, which would you prefer?

I don't know about you, but I'd give the machine a crack.
