why is open sourcing the code in this list? I don't recall a musk company that's big on open source. is this for visibility into how it works?
You don’t understand my position but you claim it is naive and no one else’s position makes sense. I am not against wealthy people but you make a strawman to simplify your attack.

You have not responded to any of the points that refuted your points. I don’t know if you’re trolling, combative, or what.

You are proposing a simplistic first-order response “engage with the opposition” that has been going on since before internet forums were a thing, while calling me naive. I’ve explained why your proposal doesn’t work but you haven’t engaged with it.

Good luck with your solution.

My response to this is that not everyone thinks like you. Art is inherently subjective.
My experience of mid 80s | early 90s Sun workstations was of rugged VMEbus boxes that could take the vibration of planes, trains, 4 wheel drives, heavy dust environments (with easy blow through to clean internal layouts), and the option of fully sheilded boxes, cables and monitors just in case the odd lightening strike or EMP burst happened nearby.

Nice clean OS's .. with RISC ops that failed on misalignd data which encourage clean cache aware coding styles and programs that pumped data through fast (or simply didn't work at all).

ie. Great dev boxes for cross platform coding - get it right on a Sun and it worked well pretty much across the POSIX space.
Are you talking about this?

The 6502 is nothing like what we would call RISC today (the 6800 is much more modern RISC-like), but the evolution from 6800 to 6502, by largely the same design team at a new company, does somehow follow the RISC "quantitative approach" of getting the most performance from a given number of transistors (the 6800 and 6502 are about the same size), but it does it by adding complexity rather than by simplifying.
I dont see any attempts. Plenty of Hitachi drives listed in NEW section. Hitachi doesnt exist for a long time now, and last drives with that branding came out in 2018.

You are correct. Systemd is not necessarily easy, but that because it is surfacing the power of linux and many of the concepts take some learning. Or you probably already know the concepts but do not yet know how or where systemd brings them out.

It’s worth reading as much as you can stomach of the systemd documentation.

Even if you’re just skimming over it, you’ll pick up useful things for the future.

Like socket activation, file change activation, timers, nspawn and lots of other good stuff.

You might even come to like it. Or at least forgive its sins.
I said "mature." There are companies other than high tech.

The presumption was always "high tech companies have so many opportunities to reinvest their profits, they shouldn't pay any dividends."

If that's really true, then they shouldn't. However, if they can't use the money effectively, then the dividend is the responsible option. Even a one-time payout, like https://www.nytimes.com/2004/07/21/business/technology-micro....

> Of the 3, if we ask "which of these is closest to being an imperial nationalist power?" the answer is the US. It isn't remotely close.

Of the 3 countries, one of them is currently engaged in a war which is explicitly about achieving its imperial ambitions, which is actually the fourth or fifth such war (depends on what you consider separate wars) it has conducted in my lifetime. Instead, you have picked one of the two countries that has yet to conduct one such war in my lifetime (the invasion of Panama was before I was born).

> They are struggling mightily to promote their interests abroad because of all the US bases people keep tripping over, and US-based systems of global governance. Their armies are struggling to move more than a few hundred kilometres from the borders that the US recognises. The US military goes where it wants and does what it wants.

If you're focusing on the results of attempted wars, even classifying all US military actions in recent decades as imperialistic wars (which is a mistake), you'll find that the US has been less successful than even Russia (which is actually 3-for-5 in its recent wars). The idea that the US (/US-allied) bases are deterring Chinese and Russian influence is also pretty laughable--see, for example, Mali, Djibouti, Solomon Islands for things I can think of the top of the head.

> A dictatorship just couldn't sustain a global empire the way a democracy like the US does (or the British before them).

The Roman Empire lasted about 270 years as a dictatorship, which is longer than the combined British/US hegemony [1], even if you take the charitable view that the period of British global hegemony starts from the end of the Seven Years' War. Of course, individually, our two model democracies each don't manage to last 100 years before fissures in their hegemony appear.

> If Russia wanted to win more wars it'd need to use a political system more like the US's

Why should Russia learn from a country that has a worse win rate than it? The US hasn't been successful in its recent military escapades, whereas Russia has had moderate success.

[1] The US does not have an empire, it has a hegemony. Yes, there is a difference, and it matters.

screenshots of text on twitter exist primarily because people still want to post long segments of text on a platform that explicitly disallows it. screenshots of text are worse than actual text in every way i can think of. they do not:

- allow clicking hyperlinks

- allow copying content to paste elsewhere

- adhere to device display preferences. you wanted dark mode? fuck you, my screenshot's black on white, dwi

- support screen readers. i loled hardcore at the other post suggesting twitter OCR them--i mean sure, as a practical matter, they should given the status quo, but YOU COULD HAVE JUST USED TEXT TO BEGIN WITH

- scale properly when zoomed in or out

- display all the text up front. virtually all of these require you click through each image because the thumbnail is cropped (if not too small to read anyway)

idk what reason you'd ever actually want to use them unless you desperately needed to show off the cool font you used. saying they're easily readable is like saying the abhorrent mandatory training videos featuring some extremely bored person reading a script over a static background for 30 minutes, with no option to speed up playback or fast-forward, are perfectly understandable. like, yeah, sure, they _are_, but also you could have provided a set of text bullet points about how not to violate USFCPA that any literate person could read in about 2 minutes and we'd all learn the same damn thing
From this perspective this seems very reasonable, if I picked some code which I like it will be very hard but I believe it will force me to consider what I don't consider in the day to day.

More precisely, since the concept of typeclasses is modeled in Scala using values, it is a bit more powerful and expressive (but also harder to use correctly) than for example Haskells counterpart.

And to add more: typeclasses are usually not enough here, you also need higher kinded types or the whole thing is useless for a lot of meaningful abstractions (such as dealing with errors or async code).

If a tech lead told me to print out some code and bring it to a review, I'd strongly reconsider the team I'm on. Not only is it among the worst ways to review code, but it also includes a lot of irrelevant information.
> Browser support is currently limited to Chrome and Edge. Firefox and Safari don't support this yet.

Within the sqlite project we're fairly convinced that FF and Safari will catch up as soon as their larger customers start targeting Chromium-based browsers simply for the OPFS support. My estimate is mid- to late- 2023 at the latest. My (mis?)understanding is that Safari has most of this support but not the latest changes from Google (namely "sync handles"), and sqlite needs those latest features in order to use OPFS.

> Very excited to try this once support is added to Firefox and Safari!

That's up to the browser vendors, but it seems very likely that they'll jump on board once large apps start making use of it OPFS (independently of whether or not those apps use sqlite). If their impls are API-compatible with Chrome's (which Google is certainly pushing for), sqlite will "just work". It is likely that the OPFS APIs will be tweaked somewhat in the mean time (e.g. changes in the locking-related support are under discussion), and sqlite's support will/would need to be adjusted accordingly, but "one of these days" it will "just work" across the 3 major browsers.

There are billions of people who are going to live in cities with minimal space. There is not enough sand in the world to build huge living spaces for everybody. How can VR not become a success?

Quest is only expensive because it comes with all the processing infrastructure. Meta, as well as Apple and others, can split it up and offer a phone that can be connected to a VR headset. With subsidies, VR could be as cheap as $100. Why would somebody buy a big monitor or TV for gaming if they can have 3D for less?

Facebook has to spend now because there is no way to participate in the Metaverse if Apple was able to establish their platform. People shun green messages, they will never meet somebody who doesn't own Apple iGlasses or whatever they will be called.

afaik there are quite heavy laws against paying bribes - in foreign jurisdictions. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_Corrupt_Practices_Act - other countries also have quite similar laws to this respect.
That depends on the meaning of "nothing."

I don't know what rate of return they get on their cash; probably more than you or I get. However, either of these would be better than the metaverse:

1) starting a venture fund to invest in other startups, which really are innovative but don't need $100's of millions yet.

2) paying a one-time or continuing dividend to shareholders, like Microsoft did in 2004: https://www.nytimes.com/2004/07/21/business/technology-micro...
Don’t forget the console on Doom, Quake, and many games since like Minecraft. Small though they are they do let you program and change the parameters of the game while it is running.
Other than their recent history of user-hostile changes (like removing the dislike count), they have two more incentives:

1. If the user cannot see the upload date, they are less likely to realise that the video isn’t recent. This makes it less likely that someone will see a video that they think is “dated”, regardless of reality. YouTube is fighting to overcome younger competitors like TikTok, so it makes sense they would sacrifice some features to claw back the audience that could leave for such a competitor.

2. An upload date is a field that has to be maintained, tested and supported across the entire stack for as long as it’s there. If they think they can save money by dropping support for it (and eventually phasing it out entirely), they are likely to eventually do so.

A mac is much better in almost every way, but that is no less than you would expect given 30+ years of evolution since the 80/90s.

The bit you’re maybe missing is how different the standard dev process was back then to accommodate how slow build infra was. You (or at least I) typically started compiling something and went for a coffee or whatever because it would take a l o n g time to build anything. So often teams would have a setup where each member had a low-power desktop that was basically just an x terminal and everyone would run their actual builds on a team buildserver. If you had a proper workstation it meant you could generally build your own code directly on your workstation meaning you weren’t contending for resources on the build server with everyone else. So I remember in one team back then one guy left who had a sparc 10 on his desk, so my buddy grabbed that, I swapped from my terrible lunchbox LX to nab my friend’s sparc 5 and suddenly local builds were a possibility for me, meaning a huge increase in productivity.

Dear Elon,

This bot discussion is just very strange to me. If it is a bot, just attach a bot icon next to the name. Let people filter bots all together, or keep some that they like. If the status was changed or the message was sent via API, print a computer icon above it. Let people know. And again, let people filter those as well.

The spam part is also a solved problem. Gmail solved it 20 years ago. Spam filters are a thing. Activate them to stop elon bots harm.

API discussions are also out of this world. Let people use read-only APIs freely to see their timeline. Give them atom and rss. Vet apps that want to use write APIs. Wall garden your search API all you like. It is a waste of money and time anyway. Even Quora has better results. You may also decentralize search to take some load off your servers and incentivise index hosting. This is a perfect fit for de-fi.

About the toxic waste dump that is the Twitter user base, just teach them some morals and manners. Be courteous and precise, and let people know that they should do better for all humankind and not write everything their inside voice tells.

Show HN: A Photo Editor I've been working on
Hi everyone, this is my latest project: an image editor that runs in the browser.
Under the paint tab you have you basic stuff: drag, brush, circle, rectangle, line, bucket (fills a whole region with the selected color) and clone (clone a piece of the image - hold down CTRL + click to define the target and then just paint.

Under filter you can run any kind of filter that you want on the image; like a sharpening or blur filter. If you click random, a random filter will be applied to the image.

Under blend you can run any math formula that you want over the image stack. Each image under the stack will be available to you by the variables named i1, i2... iN

you can delete and add images to the stack.

I'm working on a video showing all the feature the tool have, as soon as it's done I'll share it here.

Let me know if you have some questions.

Here's a quick run down of the tool

There is some pretty good evidence that wealth accumulation accelerates. In particular if you go above a certain threshold things will only go up (and go up faster). If that is the case and if we add some noise to the system. Some percentage of people will always become billionaires just by luck alone (and importantly never loose that status). I'm not saying that Musk got there by just luck, but the existence of a billionaire does not proof he is a genius.

> When a company has cash that it can't invest as profitably as its shareholders could do on their own, it's obligated to pay it to them as a dividend. It's their money.

I'd love to see a source for this. What is the precise nature of this obligation, and who enforces it?
This. I’ve been a happy Tweetbot user since it came out in 2011. The best (no, I mean it) feature that has made it worth paying for time and time again is that it’s a _chronological_ feed and not an algorithmic one. I see updates from people I follow. When there are no more updates, the feed ends. That’s it.
Not really. What's done is done as far as them having my data goes. The fundamentals of the app haven't changed yet and I plan to evaluate anything else based on the future.
On the stock market, yes.

What again, makes me unease just like the OP. It can't be that obvious that the Metaverse is stupid, can it? People believe in much worse things. Why do we have a consensus?
It's fairly common to continuously deliver to a staging environment and then occasionally choose one of the staged revisions to push to prod.

Normally employees would be sent to that kind of staging environment which is very much prod.
My thinking is similar. Removing ultrasound may in the end be more of a legal decision than a purely technical one. I suspect neither humans nor ultrasound can deliver real safety under fog conditions or blizzard conditions; so it may be best to clearly fold under truly difficult conditions and cut lawsuits vs Tesla for fog crashes off at the pass. If drivers want to drive in fog; they will be entirely responsible for the results and can hardly argue otherwise.

This leaves the question of moving to radar, but for precise resolution well ahead of the vehicle you need microwaves and a lot of power, I would guess - which reduces the vehicle's range. For all I know you might parboil passersby, too. One old Mig had a radar that would kill and roast rabbits on the runway as it took off, but that's a much different use case, of course.
