That's exactly the details to be dropped. Don't get hung up on how the article started with "natural speech", that's the bathwater.

It's obvious Biden and congress are not primarily responsible for inflation, that's a combination of macro economic factors as well as the Federal Reserve's drastic actions.

But not only did the COVID stimulus continue once the dems took control, they continued to pass multi-trillion dollar bills (Infrastructure & Inflation Reduction Act) along with a half trillion dollar student loan forgiveness. It's this aggressive spending, while inflation was already rising, that is giving them that reputation.

I'm not taking sides here nor do I want anything to do with Trump. Just laying it out how I see it.
StreetComplete has actually been adding a new feature called “overlays” recently, which let you switch the map to a special mode for editing a certain class of features. The upcoming version 48 has an overlay for shops and street addresses, which might cover much of what Every Door is aiming at: https://github.com/streetcomplete/StreetComplete/releases
If it just took patterns out of open source and isn't overfit (there is evidence that it is overfit though) it seems ok. Viewing code doesn't actually taint you, clean room reimplementations are just done in a strict manner in corporations to remove all doubt legally, but aren't an actual legal requirement.
>> You really don’t think you’re out of touch with what most users want?

I don't claim to speak for what most people want. I think having more options than iOS and Android could help promote more consumer-friendly choices.

>> Yes because using an operating system from the other 1 trillion dollar market cap company is going to be a better alternative. Meet the new boss...

It would be another choice. Yes, they have similar incentives, but more choices help to drive innovation and keep all players competitive.

>> And you are in the modernity and so much so that it wouldn’t be a profitable business. Do you think Microsoft is going to give you that?

No. Microsoft is a better position than many to be a third choice in smartphone platforms, but they have shown poor initiative in the mobile space. They could try again or it could be some other organization with sufficient know-how and daring. (Something disruptive like Tesla or Starlink perhaps?)

>> Where are all of the “innovations” that the majority of people care about - or even enough to make a profitable business - on Android where you can sideload and have third party web browser engines?

Android is innovative because it is more open than iOS. Even more innovation is possible given the right circumstances.
Completely agree. I use Rectangle, largely for the most basic thing that MacOS gets wrong: maximizing windows. It shouldn't be the same as "full screen". I know that you can double tap a window's top bar to maximize, but this should be swapped with the full-screen toggle. And cmd+shift+f should maximize the window instead of going to full-screen.
I regularly use a 10.4 Tiger machine for music and graphic projects and it is a breath of fresh air compared to where MacOS is today. My daily drivers are Mavericks/Mojave/Mojave but recently got an M1 iMac with Monterey. Nothing about Mojave-->Monterey feels like an improvement.

Aside from high-DPI, I'd be pressed to think of a single Mac interface convention or element that is better today than 2005. Many are a lot worse.
The guy hates macOS so much he's buying another Mac? Seems strange to me. If macOS is so awful then why not leave it today? Why wait another five or more years?

As far as Apple's strategy is concerned it makes sense to me. There's an order of magnitude more iPadOS and iOS users than there are macOS users. Why not make it easier for them to migrate to the platform? Who knows? Maybe one day Apple will realize that what's needed is an Macbook that you can bend the screen back flat and use like an iPad? The more the UI's are unified the more likely it is we'll see such a machine.

Funny, I'm in the first group but I'd much rather have it search everything by default: because I organize my files, if I'm searching for one that means that I don't know where it is, so I need to look everywhere.
No one uses the plain text, though. Every tool I have used, uses the PBF. (I run a company built on OSM, so that's a lot of tools.)
I trialled it. I found that most of the code it wrote was wrong so I didn't bother paying for a subscription. It was like pairing with a super enthusiastic developer that is eager to write code at every opportunity but doesn't understand what we're doing.

> It also encourages slavery.

Indeed, if slavery turned out to be more efficient, it would.

But I think that the claim that slavery is more efficient does not hold, since opressing people binds a lot of ressources; also opressed people tend to do work as minimally as possible.

So it is much more efficient to give people the illusion of freedom instead of enslaving them.

Yeah, it's the same for me. My parents don't really mind that I don't believe in prayer or whatever as long as I'm not being an ass about it. So I also haven't really seen myself as an ex-Hindu as I don't mind participating in things in big festivals for the sake of being with family. It's very different from my understanding of Abrahamic religions in that the belief system and means of practice is so vague that a lack of belief doesn't really mean much.

I think this sort of vague belief system as a religion is generally a defining attribute of Eastern religions, in some ways better described as an extension of spiritualism than an organized system like Abrahamic religions.

> uniquely describe a truly uniformly random number

This is the hard part. Picking a randomly uniform number "close to" Graham's number.

Graham's number itself is easily described of course: I can just say "Graham's Number". The numbers "close to it", (say, +/- 1% of Grahams number), are impossible to describe.

If you don't believe me, then please ship me the impossible number of hard drives that describes one such number, but you will have had to have picked it truly randomly.
Pick one at random.

EDIT:

> Graham's number can be computed in a few lines of code using Knuth's up-arrow notation.

Also, this is wrong. The first number of the pyramid can be described in up-arrow notation. But even the 2nd number of the pyramid requires g1 (ie: ~7.6 Trillion) up arrows to describe.

I can safely say that g3 (which requires G2 arrows to describe) has more up-arrows involved than there are atoms in this universe. So g3 already cannot be described by a computer program using up-arrow notation alone. And Graham's number is g64, sitting on top of a huge pyramid of such numbers.
If universities are the main indicator, why is cambridge with Harvard & MIT not more of a player? I don't really hear much from the startup-scene/tech-scene in Massachusetts.
I’m out of the Windows ecosystem, except one machine at work.

I’d love Windows on ARM to work. I love my M1 and would like something comparable.

But Apple had the M1 and the ARM PCs seem to be based on iPhone 7 level chips (perceptually).

“You can have Intel or ARM. No one buys ARM so there is little software. Windows was ruined on ARM for a long time. Your ARM laptop will be way slower, but it will be cheap because the only ones you can buy are ultra-low spec with terrible components like eMMC storage.”

There is absolutely no compelling reason to buy one for any reason and they’re not fixing it.

The first MacBook Air was a horrible computer in many ways, but it really excelled in one that mattered to people.

These don’t have that one thing that matters. They’re just ‘meh’ computers that don’t run much. MS can’t fix it (without their own chip) and Qualcomm seemingly wont either.
The new Surface Pro 7 ARM looks serious — it does seem to be the first serious ARM entry, though.

Lack of Windows ARM devices for dev really has hamstrung Hololens 2 development — it’s also Windows ARM and there are very few libraries with Windows ARM compatibility. I altered many libraries myself, despite that the documentation was nearly nonexistent.
Hypersonic gliders imply no decoys (can't run decoys in atmosphere at those speeds. If you could, they'd weigh as much as the real thing, so they'd just be the real thing). Arbitrary directions require extra range, which reduces your warhead throw weight. So, you're losing warheads to that, which is a win for the defense in a sense again. Also, I'm not sure what these active countermeasures are.

Lastly, we're talking about Russia now, which... /me points at Ukraine, doesn't exactly have the best of reputations for equipment anymore.
The post summarizes what others have said. It does not independently assess or define fair use or the github terms of service.

As for "actual lawyer": The linked-in profile of the author includes no work for any law firm or on relevant case law; it has some public-interest and open-source advocacy and his own "firm" consulting with startups, and some legal work for a startup as GC. It's good that he's been interested in this domain, but his work is not obviously validated. It may be wise for him not to attempt a legal assessment, or for readers not to grant him too much deference.

With no disrepect intended to the author, I would encourage readers to make their own assessments before accepting Copilot as benign.

I appreciate satvikpendem's caution about non-lawyers, but both discussion and the law are probably best served not by deferring entirely to lawyers. The law should make sense, and non-lawyers should be able to use it to reason about the legality of practices, at least to validate legal opinions.

Much of what matters in law is the process and posture, especially establishing who has the burden of action and proof. With Github copilot, Microsoft is daring (forcing?) people to invest a lot of money adjudicating novel issues for uncertain damages to recover on intangible benefits like community. If Microsoft/Github want to establish favorable case law, it's best to find weak opponents with few incentives. Even if there were a large company with code copied from Github, they'd have to be willing to anger Microsoft (who could likely fork their business on a whim).

The article setting the expectation that there's no problem or harm only helps Microsoft. In most cases, the executive director of any nonprofit, even when tied to the university, is largely responsible for fund-raising, and generally pursues the goals of the funders, or telegraphs opinions likely to raise funds. Better sources would be tenured professors with publication histories on point, or practitioners who have adjudicated some of the case law. Corporate lawyers working in the domain have the expertise, but likely not the incentives.

Fair use, per <https://fairuse.stanford.edu/overview/fair-use/what-is-fair-...>:
"limited and “transformative” purpose, such as to comment upon, criticize, or parody a copyrighted work. [...] Most fair use analysis falls into two categories: (1) commentary and criticism, or (2) parody"

Copilot is decidedly not commentary, criticism, or parody. It's extracting code in whole and remixing, just as Google does in extracting text to its search listings. The difference is that there's a benefit to the listed site leading it to permit this use. Copilot offers zero benefit, and may indeed reduce interest in the source code.

Also remember fair use is an exception to copyright, a defense. The burden is on the infringer to establish the exception in case law. To date, no one has.
My default these days in Canada is Greek or Chilean olive oil. I've lived in Cyprus for almost half a year. I know what good olive oil tastes like, and yes, the grocer olive oil back home in Canada isn't as good, but it's way better than the local or even Italian stuff. It tastes like real olive oil.

I don't know what is going on with Italian olive oil these days, and maybe I've just had a bad couple batches in a row, but it will take a long time for me to trust it again. It almost always tastes diluted with other oils to my pallet.
oh, definitely. When I was first shown it I assumed it was a test model (it was common to get test models with big ugly casing pre-launch so any photos leaked looked didn't have much to go on), but nope, the big ugly thing was what shipped...
What’s the definition of collusion?

If everyone brings their salary info to a secret meeting and writes it in a chalkboard and then uses that chalkboard to set their salaries it’s obviously collusion, and cases like that have plenty of legal precedent.

If instead of walking the numbers over to the secret lair the communicate via an API and the chalkboard is a digital database and GUI has anything substantive changed?

And your premise is ridiculous. Of course how they came to know each other’s salary info isn’t irrelevant, it’s the collusion part.

There’s a long long history of this kind of stuff with prices that are completely public. There’s a Matt Damon movie about it. It’s not some novel concept it’s a time honored way to break the law.
Hey, congrats on the launch! It’s great to see more activity in the authorization domain – a rising tide floats all boats.

FWIW I totally see the benefit of having standards and widely adopted open source solutions, Jimmy. But neither of the solutions you called out has been out for more than ~1 year, so I can also see why Omri and the Topaz team decided to go their own route. Your two companies also compete directly with each other, so I can’t really blame them.

Neither of those solutions was around when we released the first version of Oso in 2020, so we too went our own route and have learned a lot along the way. We’ve since shared a lot of what we’ve learned in Authorization Academy [0], a series of technical guides on building application authorization that are not specific to Oso. We also recently wrote about our view of what an authorization system should look like — opinionated but flexible — in a post on what authorization can learn from Rails [1].

Will be instructive to see what feedback the dev community shares in the years to come.

Disclaimer: I'm founder of Oso[2], a batteries-included system for authorization.

I believe you must have misread what you quoted, because whatever point you're trying doesn't really follow what you quoted.

They let you configure the number of expected results to cache for a given query, the number of cache results are configurable based on your use-case for the results (e.g. if your website only lists 100 results, don't store beyond that).

If more results than that for a given query are returned then they disregard additional results since you told it you won't make use of them. In essence, they're saving you from caching results that you'll never consume.

How you got from this to "just use /dev/null" is a mystery to me. It has to be a misread or misunderstanding.
I think you forgot two important points:

- It's not required
- It doesn't cost you anything

Yeah, that's a wet tantalum cap, those have higher leakage currents. An X7R MLCC like https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/united-chemi-con/... will probably have lower leakage, though the datasheet doesn't specify. Digi-Key says it costs US$45, it's 20 mm × 28.5 mm × 10 mm which is 5.7 cc, and probably close to 15 grams.

Leakage current usually increases superlinearly with voltage, though. If the tantalum's DC leakage is 10 μA at 50 volts, it's probably closer to 0.1 μA at 5 volts.

In capacitors with a given dielectric, the maximum energy is proportional to the volume of the dielectric, so although a 47 μF cap charged to 108 volts stores the same energy as a 220 μF cap charged to 50 volts, it also needs the same volume.

(I'm not an EE either; I only play one on HN.)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_eye says an adult human eyeball is about 23.7 mm × 24.2 mm × 23.4 mm, and a spheroid like that is π/6 of the corresponding cuboid, so you only have about 7.03 cc to work with.

So probably you'd have to settle for under 1 cc of capacitor, which (in the case of X7R anyway) means storing more like 15 seconds of 2 mW.

-Oh hai I'm called Settings now and I reorganized everything

Oh good. I find it by typing "settings" 100% of the time because I can never remember what it's called ("System Preferences", evidently) but that works less-well than it might since that's not the name—it doesn't fully match until I've typed the whole word.
This boils my blood. The state should tread very carefully when breaking up families. Yes some children need protection but when the state starts to take over the role of parents they gain a scary amount of influence of the next generation. I know the intent is very different but this is what the Hitler youth was all about.

My father worked in this field for years. It was a mess. Once public case would occur with a child dying at the hands of an abusive parent. So policy would change. Then there would be a high profile case where they got it wrong and took a child off of a good family. So policy would change again. Every time the blame would fall on the social workers. It nearly broke my dad when he was managing a district branch.

I have no solutions as I want children to be safe at home but it sucks from every angle.

> not believing in things such as reincarnation or the caste system.

As a Hindu, it's disappointing that people outside Hinduism see the caste system as either a doctrinal or dogmatic part of Hinduism. The belief in Reincarnation is dogma, the caste system is not. The caste system existed outside the belief system, and while certain sections definitely reinforced and exploited it, many traditional systems within the umbrella of Hinduism certainly saw it as a social ill. Rather, the caste system was a social hierarchy that developed in ancient India in parallel to Hinduism, and existed as well in religious groups that rejected Vedic Orthodoxy. Nor is the caste system as people think of it really a thing in Hinduism practiced by communities long isolated from the Indian mainland, such as Bali or the Caribbean communities.

Ask HN: Why is tech hiring so focused on leetcode?
Talked to a dev currently going through interviews. Apple, Meta, Google -- all leetcode interviews so he has invested his time optimizing solely for that.

Things that I find more interesting in a candidate:

- Can structure modular code
- Writes testable code; knows _how_ to test code
- Clear communication
- Good documentation
- Can read, work around, and isolate janky code
- Understands higher order concepts and structural organization of code (class and inheritance hierarchies in OOP for example; lambas and closures in FP)
- Shows a sense of curiosity and eagerness to learn

I place much more value in a candidate that can write code that is well-structured and easy to maintain rather than one that has optimized for solving specific technical puzzles unless those specific algorithms are key to your business and a competitive advantage (versus just using a standard off-the-shelf implementation).

What's the appeal of leetcode interviews? If you or your team have used them as a primary filter, did it work out?
