If they don't, someone on HN really ought to focus on this! I've loved this engine for a while (and I have used Unity and Unreal in commercial products) but there needs to be infrastructure to support it.
While they might sound convincing that they might mean this for everyone's good (and it might be good for everyone, this is typical of Google in GCP and elsewhere trying to force more modern experiences because "they know better" than everyone unwilling to upgrade their platform.
HN struggles with the reality that users pick again and again, platforms with unified experiences instead of extensible platforms where everyone's client supports a different subset of features.

I'd rather have 5 IM apps on my phone than have one and have no idea how my message shows up to the other person. I like that I can use the best app for the job. I mostly talk to people on telegram but if I want to do a voice chat or share my screen, I switch to discord. It's very frictionless and modern OSs allow you to receive notifications while the app is not actually running so it consumes no resources.

> regardless of what aesthetic and design choices somebody in Apple's UX team makes for their built-in messaging app

It's not about aesthetic design, and it's not just about high schoolers. Lots of grown up Apple users don't like adding Android users to their group chats, because falling back to MMS degrades the messaging experience for everyone. Things like images sending in low enough resolution to be useless.

As a European moving to the US, I can attest how hard it is to get Apple users to switch their group chats to WhatsApp/Facebook/Signal. I don't think I'm in a single such group that isn't majority non-Americans.

You can say Apple doesn't need to care about Android users being socially isolated. But some Apple users might like an easier way to include their non-Apple friends.

This certainly happens. If you speak to a corporate lawyer about a potentially sensitive issue, they will encourage you to use the phone, don't put anything in writing, and don't tell anybody especially not higher ups in the company, until you sort things out with them first.
Exactly what I'm saying. It's a completely dinosaur idea. There is no need for them to do it.
The text input box will also say whether it is a text message or iMessage before you start typing anything.
Chinese molten-salt reactor cleared for start up
Well, first of all there is indeed no JRE anymore, one is not supposed to install anything. The java program is supposed to be packaged up with a lean runtime executable that only contains the necessary parts, as this has been the trend for a long time.

But in practice there are indeed a lot of jar files everywhere, that have to be run through a “JRE”. It sounds a lot like a package manager program to be honest (taken care by nix for example). But otherwise, I recommend sdkman to manage multiple java versions.
There are internal revolutions and revolutions against a colonial power, which seem to fare better. I think the breakup of the Soviet Empire (the velvet revolution etc) has brought widespread prosperity, if not complete peace.

Of the internal kind, there's Augusto Pinochet -- Chile is still the 2nd wealthiest country in Latin America in terms of per capita GDP (Uruguay being 1st)
This behaviour sounds similar to reading from what is traditionally called an "open" or "floating" bus.

That's the apps themselves compressing the shit out of media to save on costs. Apps have full ability to get lossless media out and send it to anyone.
Disagree, I think this backfires when you hear only positive praise for some software, mainly because it's Open Source, etc - then the experience is really lacking. I think it sets expectations too high.
It means that some of the key creators of Godot are starting a company to support it. Godot itself would be open source. But as more adopt it they can do more support services for profit. This could include:
- An asset store.
- A proprietary solution for consoles (which require some non-Open Source code)
- Paid technical support or enhanced versions

And there are probably other things I haven't thought of.
But those iron and aluminum alloys are made into thousands of moving parts? Fuel injectors, timing chain, oil and fuel pumps, turbos, cooling, and the electrical system. Yet some of them sell for 10% of the price of a F-150 Lightning...
If we wanted to redesign all our infrastructure to minimize auto and truck miles, we’d probably try to replace long-haul trucking routes with routes that pick up from local rail depots.

Everyone would live near a train station (or in larger urban areas, light rail that connects to the train stations). There would be a mostly-separate freight network with depots near every population center. Trucks could be used to get goods from the depot to the store. Some long-haul routes would be needed to serve remote rural communities, and some high-priority stuff like mail delivery.
> This is a complete non-issue.

No it's not. iPhones intentionally don't support modern cellular messaging. There's nothing wrong with insisting they support LTE spec (RCS), like every modern smartphone does.

> The majority of people globally don't even use built-in messengers, they use WhatsApp or a similar application,

Completely unrelated. This discussion has nothing to do with iMessage / WhatsApp / etc. The problem is that Apple forces your SMS texts into effectively-2G-mode, Apple lies about the quality of the messaging you're getting from your native cellular service.

Imagine if they did the same thing to, say, your telephone calls from your phone number by running it through a ton of fake compression, and then said, "well, you could iMessage or Skype or Zoom instead if you don't want us fucking up your phone call audio".
Is it supposed to be sarcasm? I do not give a flying fuck what they host. They provide great hardware at reasonable prices. All I care about.

Last time this came up I found the georeferencing to be not-great in a location I've done a lot of georeferencing, and as far as I could tell there was no way to fix an already-submitted map.
UTXO models are actually easier to scale — every Ethereum tx today gets a global state lock, making parallel processing of transactions difficult. Not so for UTXO models.

Off cloud in this case pretty clearly implies "not on somebody elses cloud where they can access it".

You can still have off site backups and recordings on an innumerable count of hosting or storage solutions, encrypted with your own keys.
Zoning laws make sure a community stays as the community desires. A community bans large apartment buildings for the same reason they ban power plants; construction benefits the property owner at the detriment of adjacent property owners.
It was also pretty damn stupid. That was one of the motivators for me to stop bothering to look. I didn't need the work, and I was looking for work that interested me (this was a hardware company that made a system that interested me).

They maybe didn't like that I used classic MVC for the app, because it is ... less than optimal ... to use other patterns, when writing a UIKit app. Of course, it's also possible that they finally brought in a tech manager, who figured out I was old, so...

But I regularly write full apps in record time. My GH repos are full of test harnesses that I toss together in no time at all. Pretty much every test harness is one that many folks would be proud to submit to the App Store. I’ve had over 20 published native apps, over the last ten years (mostly deprecated, these days), so I’m used to regularly shipping (and maintaining) native iOS apps.

I'd suggest that someone that can chock together an app like that, in just a few hours, while under a serious amount of external stress, could be someone worth following up on. BTW: The library was MapBox. I'd never worked with it before. I enjoyed the opportunity to learn about it, as I may use it in the future (offline maps, and it's a pretty decent dependency).

But that was about three years ago, and I'm actually really glad that I got chased out of the rat race. It just took me a while to appreciate it.

> - you pay for cloud provided k8s

At this point, k8s is a cloud abstraction layer that is flexible enough that what's beneath it doesn't have to be a cloud, but in the vast majority of cases is a cloud. The various managed k8s flavors sit in between bare VMs (you control infrastructure) and any serverless offerings (what's infrastructure?), abstracting away a bunch of hard things while still offering a fair amount of flexibility and control, so you can layer other abstractions on top to make it look and function like serverless functions or a batch pipeline runner to your users or automate operations, governance and compliance tasks.

The primary value (at least as I see it) that k8s adds lies in its API and the built-in automation it layers on top of the cloud (or non-cloud) below, which I find is a surprisingly good fit for a very wide range of needs. That's what many orgs that run k8s on bare metal are really after: Providing infrastructure users with a single well-known, high-quality API and making use of the wealth of compatible tooling and third-party products written against that API.

Once you get to the point where you have a use for a fair amount of k8s features, I've found that home-grown setups tend to approximate a low-quality k8s clone anyway, so running k8s may end up the less painful route in some cases, but bare metal k8s clusters are a lot more rare than cloud-managed ones for a reason. Simpler setups can of course be run with less effort, and in a lot of cases, that's plenty good enough. A single VM with a monolithic app can go a long way, depending on the requirements.
Well, this is something I completely did not expect and now I am going down the rabbit hole of how this works...

Thanks!
1. There's nothing wrong with SMS, it's just text

> They wield power not available to individual humans. They achieve things individual humans can’t. They get people to sacrifice themselves (up to a literal karoshi) for company’s interests.

Do these have something to do with intelligence? I see power and intelligence as largely orthogonal. Ditto control and intelligence.

See Donald Trump during his presidency, for instance. Mountains of power, control of the nuclear arsenal, massive private wealth. People threw their careers away to tell lies for him.

Still an idiot.

> Are you sure you don’t do things that appear stupid to your cat?

Not at all. I see your point here and it's a valid one (though I still can't do anything but reason from the reference frame I've got).

Though I'm not sure my cats even have a category for "stupid".

> > They function much more like a drunk, demented DNN optimizing for some unknown set of variables than like a human using its intelligence to solve problems.

> That’s a weird sentence. It’s written as if there was some fundamental difference between the two.

I'm not sure there's a fundamental difference, but I'm also not convinced there isn't.

Certainly the output I've seen from image recognizers, GPT-N, image generators and similar have seemed recognizably different to me from skilled human makers.

They're occasionally quite good at aping a particular style or topic, but I don't remember seeing anything so far that reminds me of the flashes of inspiration, insight, and understanding I'm used to seeing from other humans while they're problem-solving.

I've also seen people much more informed than I make cogent-seeming arguments that DNNs are necessary but not sufficient for something like human intelligence, and that we'll need other paradigms to combine with them before we really see progress.

I've seen the opposite claimed too, in a reasonable and coherent way - that DNNs are all we need and they just need more scale than we've been able to throw at them so far.

I'm not sure which stance I think is right (if either - not too sure human intelligence is actually a tractable problem, given that we don't even have a coherent definition of it, nor a clear idea of whether the not-understood nature of consciousness may have anything to do with it).
> It's extremely heavily influenced by the underlying OS rather than the hardware being compared.

How so?
I firmly believe people won't try it if they think there's even a small chance it's not the best thing out there. Again, I use Microsoft's get the facts campaign of FUD from years ago. Simple, and extremely effect and deterred many fence sitters.
Is this really a surprise to anybody?

That said I really doubt that this a US specific problem - I suspect that the US specific headline is more a byproduct of where they were sampling than (and thus had data to support) than anything else. Of course that’s all anecdotal (if we had the data to support my opinion we could put it in the headline :) )
GitHub Incident with Actions, API Requests and Pull Requests
I assumed as much, but why would a student get physically removed from campus just because they didn't have one??
Terrible headline. The word "nepotism" doesn't appear in the paper once; its inclusion is editorialism.

You don't need to be hired by wealthy friends to benefit from knowing them. Knowing how high paying jobs work and how to get them isn't universal knowledge. Knowing how to save and invest isn't universal. There are lots of mechanisms to explain the observation without resorting to nepotism.
I've not had a single SMS/messaging spam message in the last decade. In the UK if that makes a difference, maybe we have effective laws around it? Not looked into it.
What red flags did you see? That we pay top of market? That we work to have a low stress environment? That we put life before work instead of work before life? That we prioritize having the best benefits on the market, including platinum health care with $0 employee contribution and full mental health coverage for therapy and medication not covered through insurance? That we don't overload our top performers by giving them more work when they overperform but instead let them take the extra time off? Which of those is a red flag? Everyone at our company is very happy. Apparently some people don't like coding exercises. That's fine. We require people to demonstrate they can code. Everyone at the company has to go through that. We'll miss out on some candidates because of that, but I'd much rather miss a few candidates than have some false positives. I'm sorry that ruffles some feathers. We honestly strive to have the best work environment possible for engineers based upon my many years of being abused, overworked, and having to go through absolutely horrible, long, miserable interview processes. We do 1-2 interviews and ask you to code a little. I don't think that's unreasonable, especially considering all of the benefits on the other side.

All of these are policies I've worked hard to implement to create the absolute best environment in the world for my engineers to thrive. I've had to fight for them since they aren't cheap. It hurts me when someone says taking an hour out of their week to do a coding interview isn't worth it when I've taken dozens to hundreds out of mine to make their job as easy and enjoyable when they get accepted into our culture. It's insulting to me to say that asking for an hour of your time is not worth everything above and much more that I've strived for to make our company a fantastic place to work at.

So, like I said, what red flags did you see exactly?
Couldn't everyone have that ecosystem if they adopted a common standard?
It may be something simple as a shor tbetween the phases. In power engineering these are called fault conditions and the currents can run up to tens of thousands of amps before the circuit breaker acts. Not sure if you can imagine the magnitude but that is why the standard PPE in working with on-line low voltage (<1 kV) switchgear is a full body silver arc flash suit.

Now imagine if the datacenter guys need to wear that suit before going down the racks...
My first laptop had one of those P4-based CPUs. They were super terrible chips. I don't think they were really even mobile chips. I think my battery was good for about 25-30 minutes tops. And Dell put in a soft cap of 768MB of memory. I was pretty pissed that none of this was ever noted when I bought the laptop.
No, green is the default.
Just return an io.Reader that wraps the DB cursor and outputs CSV data... I fail to see what makes this so difficult. If the "mutable" approach involves passing down a mutable *http.ResponseWriter, then the dual approach of passing an io.Reader upstream is equivalent.
But ac will break the current at the alternating frequency and dc won't, so it is much harder to break a circuit with a high direct current. That's why monster movies have those huge knife switches.
Level up your privacy game
My theory is that it is because of the margin, which is pretty much always a straight line. We are more accustomed to there being wider space at the end of a line (except in justified text, which is more common in print than on screens where a wall of text can look pretty obnoxious.)

Geography aside, the scroll is on the same side that you thumb to change pages in a book.

Putting a scroll bar on the right doesn't make us feel like the margin is in the wrong place, or that you're changing "pages" from the wrong side of the screen or window.

Having said that, are Arabic scroll bars on the left? I've worked in SA, but I never noticed since I used my own laptop.

I imagine the sideways scrollbar would be really counterintuitive on the top vs the bottom.
>Or if she wants to read or create art on it while we’re at dinner, I’m not even sure that’s so bad – adult conversations are rather dull to a young kid.

I'm probably old-fashioned (age 55), but I think there's value in children experiencing adult conversations, assuming those conversations are respectful. I also consider dinner time, with a few exceptions, to be a ritual. A time where we enjoy the shared present moment, share the events of our day, reflections upon the same, and what we're looking forward to (or not) tomorrow.

This doesn't come easy, even to me, who loves all the technology and can easily get sucked into TikTok, Reddit, HN, et al for longer than I care to admit. It takes effort.
RCS has no E2E encryption. Pass.

The increase in value provided by these services is very much linear w.r.t. number of users. The 10x+ leap in cost with enterprise pricing is not at all justified by additional value provided.

I don't mind paying a fair, pre-disclosed price for services that provide value. I do mind opaque enterprise sales tactics that try to take full percentage points off my available runway for no discernable increase in value when I try to add one more user. Doubly so when they go to such lengths to cover it up as Vercel is currently doing.
For fairness's sake, I'd like to point out that Nodejs has the same behaviour. Helping a new developer create a web server, we fell into the bugs the author is talking about a few times. I was always quick to spot the problem with the benefit of experience, but a newbie debugging a "response was already sent" error was not the simplest thing in the world.
Nobody cares how many straws you own... the (potential) issue was how many straws are discarded per day, and specifically how many made their way into waterways. It's no where near 500M - that is indeed an absurd number.

Being one order of magnitude right isn't sufficient here (he could have just as easily made up 999M and still be one order or magnitude right) - particularly when fabricated "data" was used to push for legislation that impacted so many people yet has had so little effect on the environment.

Additionally, this kind of stuff causes the public to lose faith in "science" and our legislators that push this type of agenda through.

Not one entity stopped to research the data themselves - they used a 9 year old's made up data to ram through laws. Really should give us all pause when considering new legislation.
Neither SMS, nor RCS, have built-in end-to-end encryption — and both should die a quick and timely death. iMessage to use end-to-end encryption, but it’s not open, and should also die.

What messaging needs is an open modern standards, nothing more, nothing less.

It's nice to see research confirm this, but it's been pretty clear to many of us for a long time. We've known for ages that being born rich and having rich friends are the real cheat codes for success. How long have we heard "Who you know is more important than what you know" when it comes to employment? How many generations of us have suffered co-workers or superiors who had no business being in their roles but knew the right people?

Socioeconomic mobility in the US is a joke. It lags behind nations like Portugal, Estonia, Czech Republic, Singapore, Malta, and Slovenia but that reality doesn't stop folks from insisting that people just need to work hard to get ahead. That is a very nice idea and in an ideal world people who work hard enough tugging on their bootstraps would find success more often than not, but that's sure not the world we live in.
Being able to anonymously transfer unrestricted amounts of money around the globe simply enables tax evasion and money laundering making crime easier to profit from.

People who want to see a functioning society and pay their taxes get screwed. The rich and criminals get to do whatever they want.

So, business as usually really, but average person has to take the small wins when they get them.

Personally i think the permanent public record of the blockchain is a good guard rail. If you want to make small transactions anonymously cash is there.
