The OP said "Dorsey has nothing to gain" and "he seems to be quite mindful", yet for some reason you criticize me for purportedly being a mind reader, but not the OP. Why is that?

> You are assuming that the accumulation of money and power is the primary motivation, opposed to a byproduct or simply a means to an end.

Power can be a means to an end. It can be a means to many ends. I never assumed it wasn't. I was disputing "Dorsey has nothing to gain".

> It seems like you were doing a lot more than making a theoretical point.

> "It's never enough for them."

Well, it's an observation about the ultra-wealthy, as a group. They never seem to give up trying to accumulate more money, despite already having vastly more than they would rationally need.
Ask HN: What do you use for API Key Management?
Many developer portals allow you to generate API Keys. Is there a SaaS service that is powering these or is all of that logic being built in-house?
They definitely did when I did a loop a few years ago. Maybe things changed or you got lucky?
They will throw the book right at your face
This is a problem we ran into when I worked at a regulared business a few years ago. From a GDPR point of view we had to physically delete the data but from a regluatory point of view we were obligated to retain information for 7 years.
capped more in gametheory/economic sense than from a purely legislative sense. The information of band means everyone wants the cap, but they don't necessarily deliver what the top of band delivers.
I also often feel like HN takes inconsistent positions on things, but it's important to remember that the community here is composed of different people with different positions. Every position you list above is held by, and voice by, someone — but not everyone. So, it's not actually inconsistent unless you forget that individuals all have their own minds.
Both are nice, but very niche.

Now if they do Half Life 3 - that’ll be a mainstream blockbuster, but they won’t, as they’re not the company that can pull that off anymore.

Truly wasted potential. As I wrote a while ago:

"One of the biggest problems Google has is that they excel at engineering, but they lack proper marketing or business talent. Stadia is really cool, yet the company did nothing to attract players and grow the platform.
I'm wondering how many of their products were killed just because of the fact, that there was no plan beyond letting it out in the market"
it looks like bizarre dreams as videos... so far but it will improve to less weird... eventually being used in VR or AR to give you instant environments/scenarios as you wish, I would imagine
As someone who just went through Ian using the date it became a tropical depression seems wrong. It was a Cat 4 yesterday when it made landfall and it was a Cat 1, 2, and 3 storm before and after that.
By that same token it would be ok if I stole a bunch of jewelry from a bunch of different places, as long as I wear it all together in an awesome ensemble for all to see.
Dependencies on google-only stack plus many of the things they build aren’t actually financially viable.
This isn't just incompetence, it's a PR smokescreen that fulfilled its purpose, to smokescreen the ad and surveillance machine that has been Google Corp right from the beginning.

ShadowPC has already proved that gaming over fiber+wifi is very viable but it was never googles project - the project was yet another toy-thing that people will think google is "doing", when they are actually an ad and surveillance company.
I have interviewed with them more than a single time, and this is simply not true.
A small sample size is, by itself, not an issue. It only means that you need larger effect sizes to come to any conclusion.

Fortunately for the researcher referenced, the changes are indeed rather pronounced.

"Brutally expensive and competitive" is right. Look at what Microsoft had to do after losing the Xbox One / PS4 generation. They've spent almost a decade building out a radically new subscription service. That's before the $100+ billion they've dropped on studios for content to fill out said service.
Yea they should definitely open source the firmware or at least do one last update to make it Bluetooth compatible. I as well got the promo deal.
Nah, it's definitely true.
I have seen plenty of (especially larger-format) TVs where, with "game mode" (or the respective equivalent) disabled, it's unbearable to even do latency-forgiving tasks like office work on them.

The web is kryptonite to those who rose to power in legacy organizations.
Nope because both are extensions of ads. Both are bought and managed within google ads manager. Basically a product lasts at google ifnm it can reach ad placement scale. Docs is useful for it's data and to help personalization of ads so it stays. Most of the tool shutdowns couldn't have ads or didn't assist ads effectiveness.
Have you ever interviewed with Meta? They are _the_ FAANG company that places the highest weighting on leetcode problems.
There's a big downside to this that I don't hear people talking about here on HN (likely because our demographic isn't representative of the average programmer at all).

C-like languages are much simpler for newcomers to pick up. There are people out there who don't have extensive CS experience and can't easily pick up complex concepts like mutability, ownership, lifetime subtyping, and so on.

There are some anecdotes of people picking up Rust as their first language, but they usually have something else going for them, such as a lot of time, a very patient and involved teacher, or some sort of extra external motivation.

We also often hear how easy Rust is to pick up, but from actually talking to people who have tried, it's clear that this is mostly survivorship bias; people don't tend to broadcast their failure to learn a language. For every N people that successfully learned Rust, there are M people who couldn't push past the learning curve and had to go with something else.

If the entire industry is going to jump straight to Rust and require it for all new projects, I hope it doesn't become a moat of gatekeeping, where only the smartest and most tenacious programmers are allowed to do low-level programming and everyone else is harassed out of the field. That's how a field becomes an isolated echo chamber and stagnates.

I'm not saying we should stop investing in Rust. We should definitely keep at it. But we should also invest in languages that prioritize simplicity and a more merciful learning curve, and make it clear which situations in which they are acceptable/encouraged.

(This might sound biased from me, but the language I'm involved with is a high-level language, so I have no dog in this fight.)
After the Bio-Crash of 2020 me and my chooms had to make our own fun.

Completely not my experience. All the questions I got were word-for-word Leetcode problems. At least Amazon goes through the trouble of disguising them as "Amazon Deliver Trucks going from house to house" instead of "an array of numbers"
Germany imported Russian gas because it was cheap.

It had nothing to do with the Iraq War. If you look at a graph of German natural gas imports from Russia by year, you will not see any major changes after 2003. Imports from Russia (back then, the USSR) reached 50% of total imports in the 1980s, and flatlined after that.[0]

Your comment reminded me of this video [1]

I think that we will discover that there is a more efficient way to encode temporal relationships, which appears to be "just throw transformers at it." My guess is that it will be in a more conceptual latent space that this attention will be applied.
This is going to be a revolution, I already imagine AI movies in cinemas, pioneering hits at scale of Avatar on IMAX 3D, remakes of classics just based on screenplay texts.
Aside from the unpleasant surprise of there not being an audience.
I would rather work 50 hours per week and make a lot more now than have an "easy" WLB. Right now I need money, but the rules setup make it super tough (this plus progressive taxation that doesn't care how much money you average across life, just this year-- eg you could earn $1M in one year and nothing for 19 and still pay very high taxes while others earn $50k over 20 and they get an attractive rate).
The Eastern TX patent trolling should not be a thing anymore due to this Supreme Court ruling:

That tweet was surely from the Stadia team, and teams generally do not plan on shutting down. I think we can assume that was 100% honest at the time, and the team was doing everything it could to keep going.

And that upper management (VP/director/etc.) probably finally made the decision to shut it down just a couple of weeks ago or even less.

So while ironic... it's highly unlikely Google was lying, as multiple people here are suggesting. Nobody knows for sure that a product/team will be shut down until it actually is. Not even upper management knows until they see the newest numbers.

Having had some experience at large companies, many teams' whole existence is on the line every ~3 months as the product manager presents updates to the VP and associates, and then waits a week to find out later if the team a) gets new employees / higher budget, b) gets no new employees and no increased budget, or c) gets cancelled so start looking for an internal transfer.
> Every other creature has plateaued in intelligence

This is just not how evolution works. If you're curious about phenomena such as you're describing, I encourage you to dig into evolutionary biology.

It's more correct to say "we don't know of any creatures living or extinct that have a similar development of linguistic / symbol manipulation as modern humans".

This acknowledges that we don't know the intelligence of every species to have existed on earth. The earth is billions of years old. Quite literally, in that time span, species could have developed advanced civilizations, gone extinct, and left no evidence of themselves that we're currently capable of perceiving as such.

It also acknowledges that, unlikely as it seems, we don't know of any living species with similar intelligence to us. Since that quickly descends into sci-fi territory, I'll leave it there.

Finally, it acknowledges that at any point in the future, other creatures could evolve intelligence similar to us.

It strikes me that my whole disagreement with you hinges on the word "plateaued". In common parlance this means "has developed to a point of permanent stagnation". In evolution nothing is Permanently stagnant, thus my previous comment.

> "Humans are the only species where learning these gave an advantage"

This is another point that a deeper dive into evolutionary studies will illuminate.

Humans are the only extant species that we know of where selection pressure met a series of mutations for increased intelligence, and the cost/benefit equation worked out for the species and environment.
I'm conflicted here. I hate both patent trolls and Meta. Not sure who to root for.
Right, how is this different from free game apps showing you ads for other games?

Typically these days you have to watch about 15s of the ad. Seems involuntary but the ads take this into account, "can I get you to play this fake simulation of the game inside the ad, or are you just going to click close?"
Anecdotally (I have a friend in that situation), no impact as confirmed by their in-house recruiter.

But it might depend on whether they were pre-allocated to a team (which I understand is very rare, but it does happen).
I used it for a little bit, for gaming on my phone. I was genuinely astonished at how responsive it was.
Kinda prefer Prisma when working with js/node or ts /deno but might try it if i need something more lightweight than prisma for a new toy project.

As for the ORM debate, not applicable for SQLite but if m using a database with better support for stored procedures (like sql server, postgresql or oracle), i just prefer a minimal DAO or an ORM that just built from stored procedure calls.

Unfortunately sometimes, specially in a big diverse team we do prefer an ORM so devs focus on other things a let the DBA guys try to guess why my code calls select everytime it refers to "entries" object just to get one entry.
So why expect the library for free then? Saying open source is not an option but not being willing to pay for the licencing cost of the "commercial" Version is quite hypocritical no?
I got rejected on an obscure leetcode hard last year in the telephone screen, which was ridiculous considering I had enough practice to destroy leetcode hards.

Though it worked out for me in the end, but I was definitely annoyed for a day or two.
The monthly subscription costs will not be refunded, only controllers & games you "bought", instead of played via Pro subscription. If Stadia had been a success, there'd been plenty of Pro subscriptions.
This thread leaves me wondering if, perhaps, interviewing differs within the organization. Lots of confident "nuh-uh"s on both sides.
corporate leaders prefer to implement policies that benefit corporate leaders.
I think there is a minority but highly poisonous ideology (in that its effect is outsize compared to how many people believe it) that essentially goes "market = ethical". There is certainly some not-unreasonable argument that market rate CEO pay is not unethical, and that version of the argument may be the one in your head. However, I believe the majority of arguments to that effect are unreasonable. I believe that the exact shape of the wealth pyramid, as produced by natural market forces, is one of the great horrors destroying the common person's feelings of satisfaction or even simple happiness - one of those things that is ignored because "personal responsibility", or other oversimplifications you might call the tonal opposite of a platitude. Historically, that pressure is eventually released horrifically. In modern times, I'm not sure what's going to happen, because we have significantly stronger walls on the pressure vessel (mostly a natural outcome, not maliciously designed). E.g. the many little distractions we'd rather take comfort in than engaging in the nightmare of revolution (entertainment, food); for others less fortunate, the all-consuming distraction of just staying above water; the simple distance between the people and the wealthy, and the layers of abstraction in their interactions with each other; the military and police. Have we engineered a perpetual-misery machine, that keeps things just perfectly in balance to avoid an explosion?
>nearer term gratification

You can perseverate all you want, but someone else is going to get there before us then and we won’t be in a hegemonic position to enforce our ethical framework (fwiw I think is good) over the rest of the world. A bad actor will be in that position and you cause more pain through inaction.
SQQQ is up 10 percent today.
Fans of this service just seemed convince Google was in it for the long haul.. I hated being the cynic that would reference the Google Graveyard... wishing I'd be wrong but here we are again.
ORM is orthogonal to SQL. The purpose of ORM is to transform relations (sets of tuples) to object graphs and back again. ORM toolkits provide some kind of declaration method to describe how that mapping should occur to save you the slog of doing it by hand.

SQL is the usual mode for receiving those relations, and so many ORM toolkits also include query builders to help with that level of abstraction, but theoretically an ORM toolkit could require you to write SQL in the raw.
I am guessing they didn't release the drivers?
don't fix what ain't broken.
I know how they define "alignment." I'm picking on the tortured nomenclature, and the tendency in current AI research for it to look a lot like "my values."

In my view, speculating on AGI ethics is at best pointless. It's like trying to write laws for the Internet during the invention of the telephone. If you imagine how it could operate, you'll be wrong, and the details change the whole problem.
I would imagine you’ll see one or a few that are barely AI-produced as soon as marketing teams get wind of this. “come and see the first ever AI-produced* blockbuster!

Well, Taiwan also had a permanent seat at the UN Security Council, had been sending its representatives for more than 20 years, and other members had no objections. But one day that seat was taken away from them and given to China.

Thank you, now I feel preemtively ashamed
I think this is excellent. For those that don't know, Bruce Willis recently retired from acting due to a degenerative brain disease called aphasia, and by selling these rights, he can still appear in new film projects without having to act in them himself.

Additionally, by deciding to do this while he's still alive, you don't really have to feel bad or gross inside (some people don't, but some do) by seeing these people reanimated in films, like with Princess Leia[2] or Tupac[3].

I hope to see more beloved actors do this (if they wish, of course), in the future.

I think you mean... tl;dr; bitcoin is less wasteful and promotes global peace.
I've never heard of this organisation, and maybe it's because I don't work in tech but I don't really understand why they need to exist. But in any case, I'm entirely unsurprised to see the customer response to these changes. It comes off as incredibly predatory - AB testing the perfect, most "frictionless" experience which is obviously going to lead people to signing up without understanding they're committing to hundreds of dollars of future expenses. Gross.
Well, they did a Big Damn Rewrite to use it for Wallet/Pay, and, in the process, dropped a bunch of features and made it infuriatingly tied to a phone number, because the rewrite was really for the Indian market.
Maybe? 2020 for me. The first wave had me write code to solve a problem.... pretty far from Amazon's rebranded HackerRank/Leetcode nonsense. I was talking to a human being the entire time. They were great about making me feel like they WANTED me to succeed. Next round was more conversational/System Design stuff.
I think it got HN’d. I was able to snag it but their backend was clearly struggling.

Is there any such thing as a voluntary ad impression?
I mean the cost issues are pretty complex themselves. We've seen that estimates are unreliable because every time we build a new reactor we have to rebuild the entire tooling and supply chain. Westinghouse filed bankruptcy over exactly this issue. So are we discussing building one reactor? A few? Or a hundred? But are we also discussing rolling out a hundred and then not building many again for decades? There's also bureaucratic issues that prevent newer and cheaper reactors from being built. Some of those issues have merit and others don't. I think it is easy to oversimplify the issues here, especially when we mostly get social media soundbites and explanations from news articles that don't consult various experts. I just think it is hard to garner a strong opinion without also having deep knowledge.
Is it even in the realm of possibility that Google, of all companies, has an intern with zero insight into the long term strategy manage the twitter account AND make definitive public statements?
The infrastructure problem is funny because this wouldn't be a problem if Google would use GCP by themselves. They should also be smart enough to create an export function for google3.
I didn't know about that attribute, thanks. I wonder if there's a way to make "lazy" its default value, instead of "eager"... I guess not without JS.

P. S. It seems that Safari isn't compatible with the attribute by default, but it can be enabled through its settings.
Not with developers though. Consumers get refunded, game developers don't get anything back.
Like you said, the main thing is what it doesn't include.

Though also specifically "D. Least server resources used", which is very much dependent on usage characteristics. If each of your customers is getting thousands of webhooks per second, then yeah, webhooks are probably not the best idea (though even then it's not that clear cut, because with webhooks you already have the models loaded in memory, and with the /events polling you need load them from DB every time), though if your customer have a long idle periods (especially if you have many customers) webhooks are orders of magnitude more efficient.

Think about Github, there are a ton of repos, but the activity in each is occasional. So if you have CI that needs to be triggered on push, it's much more efficient to be notified when there's a change rather than all 300m users polling all the time (and getting nothing).

It's kind of like a spin-lock: polling is efficient when you get "yes" often, and it's not efficient when you get "no" often. Again, tradeoffs.
Ask HN: Do You Have Headaches?
My understanding (outside the community, I use it but am not hugely familiar with it) is that the 1-based indexing is the default, but you can select any range. Routines that assume 1-based indexing then break on anything that, well, isn't 1-based.
