That is not how criminal convictions (is supposed to) work. You don't have to present evidence that proves that, out of these three people, this one is the most likely killer. You have to prove that, beyond any reasonable doubt, this person has definitely committed the crime in question. If there is some reasonable possibility that some unknown person could have come off the street and committed the crime while leaving fingerprints that happen to match one of the suspects, then that suspect should not be convicted.

So your assumption is that most to all defects are language related and not programmer error? I will bet the farm your defect rate will remain the same without any actual validation of what people write. Plenty of errors due to language quirks but lots of times I see missing statements, fixed values which should be variable, input checking failures due to unknown input, incorrect assumptions and lots of non language gelated bugs which will not go away.
you schooled me. thanks!
From my PoV, using cloud instead of self hosting, rarely makes economic sense.

Most of the time is more expensive than paying for the infrastructure and personnel to manage it.

Also, while apparently cloud reduces complexity, it will end up adding lots of other complexities. And dealing with complexity means more money.

Also, the more you invest in a particular cloud technology, the more locked in you are, the less alternatives you have and that means paying up more.

If Stack Overflow does well by managing few dedicated servers, I don't get why smaller operations really "need" cloud.

And to add another perspective, the more layers of abstraction and indirection you add, the more complicated and ineficient things will be.
Ask HN: What's left in quantum computing? Where is it now?
The hype is already building where for myself as the uninitiated (read: noob) I'm left confused about how far along quantum computing has come.

To be somewhat more specific, clearly there are still many open questions in quantum mechanics as a science, so
-- How does that map to the current technology?
-- Which of those open problems presents imminent bottleneck to current adoption?
-- What from the science will present the next breakthrough?

Any reading recommendations are appreciated!
I guess I don't understand your comment, or why the current codes matter, if new data shows something like a trivial color change could save lives.

The purpose of pointing out the exception for motorcycles was that the laws have already been changed/ammended/whatever once. Surely it's possible that it happens again, say, with color.

This was my experience as well. Left a highly functional agile group (yes, those exist) and joined FB as an engineering manager. It was a culture shock, to say the least. The culture is that of individual performance, and all incentives stem from that. If you're a go-getter that can operate autonomously and drive things to completion no matter what, in a high-pressure, deliver-or-perish environment, you will thrive there, with fast promotions, ridiculous money thrown at you, and ever-increasing responsibilities and expectations. For the rest 95% of us, it's a stressful treadmill with unrelenting pace, poor work life balance, and "impact" worship. The teams are just collections of individuals doing their own thing (I'm simplifying a bit and there is collaboration, but it's very... "stay in your own lane"). I eventually realized I was not a fit for that culture and vice versa.

Ohh Don't forget Firefox, for all it's privacy preaching:

- Hijacking all your DNS requests to Cloudfare by default

- installing a scheduled task to Windows PCs to phone home your Windows default browser setting choice (And if you delete this task it gets re-installed again at each update)

- Firefox Studies are OPT-OUT. I've seen a study active on initial install already (and sometimes THREE studies running at once in a recent Linux install).

- Google set as the default search despite many privacy oriented options available

- Unique ID generated upon install.

- A marketing company metrics enabled was included in Android/iOS (see link). See above about Unique ID and IP address collection to see how this could have been abused.

I have used FF daily since basically Opera went Chrome-clone. BUT having to research how to turn off all these things above and what you mentioned with telemetry etc over the past few years has REALLY sat bad with me to point I am ready to jump ship as well and let them figure out themselves why they continue to bleed users. Bring back Colorways again for v106 along with cutesy sayings?? UGH. But FF still is the lesser of evils imo among desktop browser choices.

Currently working for a US company but living abroad and getting paid in a local currency, which is getting hammered compared to the USD. This has had a weird side effect in that I've become a lot cheaper to hire recently. I was told this has made us the least likely to get laid off and we've avoided it so far.

Many people I know who are getting paid in USD have been rubbing it in quite hard lately, honestly I'm happy for them but it's also kind of unfair their mortgages have been greatly reduced while mine hasn't changed at all.

There is always a silver lining...
That's certainly one of the many toxic elements of FB culture.

Given that you're working in a swamp, figure out what your goals are while you're there, and how well you need to play the PSC[1] game to be able to reach your goals. PSC and the toxic culture around it isn't your problem to solve, it's just a weight you need to wear while working towards your own goals. This is a deeply cynical view, but that's me. If you're lucky, you can make impact without making noise, but you've got to figure out who to ask to write you reviews. Also --- keep in mind, they're looking for impact, but they never said positive impact... sev0 all systems down is a ton of impact, and it is acheivable ;)

>> We want to crush any chance of CP. If folks use it for that entire generative AI space will go radioactive and yes there are some things that can be done to make it much much harder for folks to abuse and we are working with THORN and others right now to make it a reality.

I'm absolutely certain Linux has been used to kill children. Detergent, pesticide, and even pillows too!

Tools shouldn't be limited based on what the worst way they can be used. Stable diffusion is an absolute positive for society. Even when it's used to generate CP, every image that model creates is not one that involves a real kid.

The cat is out of the bag when OpenAI announced DALLE. Stable Diffusion only accelerated it a bit. Even if Sablity or lawmakers manage to prevent or outlaw open models, criminals will continue to build their own and ignore laws.

The only thing their reluctance does is harm Stability and give their competition a chance to catch up. Perhaps that's a good thing. Maybe it's time for another organization to take the lead.

I'm not sure that's true. If you have dependencies on others and they're not operating in the same fashion, it gets impossible to get things done, and that's a recipie for frustration and resentment, not thriving. Now, if your scope of work doesn't need things from other teams, but who doesn't need something from someone? And they're not going to be willing to do it, because it's not in their plan for the half, so doing it doesn't help their PSC.

I agree that if all CSAM was virtual and no IRL abuse occurred anymore, that would be a vast improvement, despite the continued existence of CSAM. But I suspect many abusers aren't just in it for the images. They want to abuse real people. And in that case, even if all images are virtual, they still feed into real abuses in real life.

That’s crazy, I actually show up every morning to do my job without the Mayor personally telling me that I’m brave and handsome every day. There’s a fair amount of stickers outside my apartment that say things like “Die Techie Scum,” and yet, I keep showing up for work to do the job I get paid to do.

Maybe we should find some cops who are capable of doing the job they’re paid to do, instead of insisting on a wholesale cultural revolution to protect their fragile egos at all costs.
Just because there are more modern techniques doesn't mean there haven't been older ones used, or techniques used incorrectly.

The horizontal line of the T goes down to the bottom left of the O. How can this be, since the bottom of the T would be in the middle of the bottom edge of the O, if they experienced the same transformation?

The Y has a different baseline than the T, which also doesn't make sense. They are both a centered vertical line, so they should be the same.

Maybe I'm just completely wrong. But, my eyes are used to boring perspective projections, rather than whatever this is, which is probably why it looks so wrong to me.
Boom and bust. The industry had a phenomenal last few years and now it's time for adjustment.

Some sectors,like HDD and memory, rely on the annual floods (hehe) to keep stuff from getting cheaper, but not all of them.

I have the money but also tons of patience. No, 2000+ euro for a video card is not a good deal. Even half that is too much. Sadly, I know a good amount of people who fall for the hype and actually do buy overpriced stuff because it's cheaper than a few months ago
People don't want to seriously grapple with these sorts of harm reduction arguments. They see sick people getting off on horrific things and want that stopped and the MSM will be more than eager to parade out a string of "why is [company X] allowing this to happen?" articles until the company becomes radioactive to investors.

It's a new form of deplatforming - just as people have made careers out of trying to get speech/expression that they dislike removed from the internet, now we're going to see AI companies cripple their own models to ensure that they can't be used to produce speech/expression that are disfavored, out of fear of the reputational consequences of not doing so.
The justice department at no point stopped Microsoft from bundling IE with Windows.

Nobody suggested otherwise; but that actually wasn’t the point. Microsoft made a deal with the government to stop most of its anticompetitive behavior. It was less about the bundling of IE with Windows than giving OEMs the choice to ship other browsers in addition to IE.

Besides that, up until 2008-2010, the “free and open web” was littered with proprietary Flash apps.

But that was a choice made by the market to adopt Flash instead of having of having all of the Microsoft stuff forced on them. Nobody forced developers to adopt Flash and there were other choices for audio/video, even if they weren’t as popular as Flash.

And if you don’t remember, the “modern web” as it exists today with Ajax was actually a Microsoft addition that everyone else added.

Well, to be accurate, Microsoft shipped XMLHttpRequest in IE 5.0 in 1999, as a proprietary Active X component for their products; it was never intended to be a web standard. But it was a cool idea so the other browser makers implemented it.

The term AJAX was coined by a Google employee in 2005 and was standardized by the W3C in 2006 [1].

It’s no different than Apple developing the canvas [2] element, which became a web standard, except they were more intentional than Microsoft was about XMLHttpRequest which would be renamed as AJAX.

Things would have been very different if the FTC and European regulators (who did make Microsoft ship a version of Windows without IE [3] hadn’t gotten involved.

Not everything that technically works should be done.
Bioinformatician here, BsaI and BsmBI are Type IIS restriction enzymes.
Which means, they are unique in the fact that they cleave DNA at a defined distance outside of their recognition sequence.

BsaI has been used in high throughput assembly techniques such as Golden Gate assembly and Golden Braid assembly.

Golden Gate assembly is an extremely robust method for building modular genetic components.
For example, one can create plasmids (circular pieces of DNA) with billions of variants of the spike proteins, each carrying a different combination of mutations.
Then, those plasmids are transfected into corona viruses and incubated in a tissue culture.
Now, one usually let natural selection do its thing and the most infective variants replicate in the tissue much faster and take over the population.

Having said all that, type 2s restriction sites usually are cut out during assembly so I'm not sure how having those is a good evidence for engineering. Actually, the opposite is true. Having none at all is one evidence which is very much suspicious
