Operating systems with support for memory protection and virtual memory generally don't behave that way for security reasons. Everything that is allocated to a process will be zeroed explicitly or on first reference.

There are older operating systems that don't do that though. On the Amiga you have to explicitly ask the OS for memory to be cleared, and if you don't you may get uncleared memory left over from some other process.

Because of aforementioned divisive rhetoric...

The divisive rhetoric is part of a deliberate campaign to spread unrest by China and Russia, among other actors. The Citizens United ruling gave them unlimited spending power.

Don't take my word for it, this guy could see it coming 12 years ago:

And you’d think that reducing corporate and even foreign influence over our elections would not be a partisan issue. But of course, this is Washington in 2010. And the Republican leadership in the Senate is once again using every tactic and every maneuver they can to prevent the DISCLOSE Act from even coming up for an up or down vote.

"last week, the Supreme Court reversed a century of law that I believe will open the floodgates for special interests - including foreign corporations - to spend without limit in our elections"

In response to this criticism of their recent ruling, Justice Samuel Alito shook his head and appeared to mouth "Not true."

In fact Siri was originally an app (Apple bought it).

To your question, a simple example is "Hey Siri" https://machinelearning.apple.com/research/hey-siri

> To avoid running the main processor all day just to listen for the trigger phrase, the iPhone’s Always On Processor (AOP) (a small, low-power auxiliary processor, that is, the embedded Motion Coprocessor) has access to the microphone signal (on 6S and later). We use a small proportion of the AOP’s limited processing power to run a detector with a small version of the acoustic model (DNN). When the score exceeds a threshold the motion coprocessor wakes up the main processor, which analyzes the signal using a larger DNN.

Yes, as with all things they could come up with a way to let third-party apps program the AOP with a different detector, but my point is that Siri has deeper integration into the device.

Apple's privacy and security rules also limit what a third-party app could do. For example, Siri knows what apps you have installed, but apps aren't able to access this information. Siri can make modifications to system settings; apps cannot.
Apple is absolutely not "asking you to think like biz dev folks" in fact they're counting on the fact that you won't.

They're exploiting their near-monopoly to expand their ownership and control of user actions and make more money. They know most of their users won't notice, and many won't care.

It's absolutely bonkers how much Apple gets away with today, when Microsoft got torn apart for abusing their monopoly 20 years ago for things that weren't even 1% as abusive as what Apple is doing here. Microsoft got attacked for bundling an internet browser with their OS. Can you imagine the outrage if Windows started swapping Google URLs for Bing ones or iTunes links for Microsoft-owned properties?
I don't know of any language that can be easily edited in Notepad.

I really like the positioning of "a project management suite for solos and small teams". That to me is very appealing because these don't really exist very well. Most project management tools are designed for tons of people. You might be able to make them work for a solo or small team, but they tend to be focused on larger teams, because as mentioned previously, those tend to be the customers spending the most money and they ask for features and they get made. Before long every project management tool becomes a large team project management tool because of this.

Positioning yourself as specifically designed for solo and small team project management to me is an underserved market. When I looked at your landing page, I scrolled down quickly thinking "cool another PM tool... just what the world needs". Then when I saw the line 3/4 of the way down that said "Specifically designed for solos, small teams and businesses" that caused me to perk up and go back to the top and look at the page from a different perspective that I was much more interested in.

I see now looking at it again that you mention "personal productivity" which I now understand is your way of saying small and solos. But I just interpreted it as a PM tool that made you productive amongst your team. So it didn't really resonate to me.

Anyway, the product is actually interesting. I'm going to check it out. I've been wanting a PM tool for solos. There are a couple out there, but they all suck. The best solution up to this point for solo project management that I have found is just using a generic solution like Notion or Trello and adapting it to my needs. So this is worth a shot IMHO.
> given that their usage is not the same, and the fact that the ecosystem doesn't use panics as exceptions, it's a bit of stretch saying they're "functionally" the same.

No, these don’t matter. Every langage with exceptions uses them differently, that doesn’t make Python’s no-exceptions and Java’s exceptions.

Regardless of how it’s used, it either is or is not an exceptions system. That’s what “functionally” means.

For instance Go’s panics are an exceptions system, you can always recover() and handle the exception during its unwinding.

> A bit like saying trains and chairs are functionally the same since they both can have wheels

No, it’s like saying an HSR and an ore train are functionally similar, because both are trains even though they’re used differently, in different contexts, and with different performance profiles.
From TFA:

Many frauds start out as a legitimate business or idea that simply gets taken too far through some combination of greed, loose morals, and overconfidence. Once the ball gets rolling, money begins pouring in, and a certain amount of power is obtained it becomes difficult to stop the train.

People will do just about anything they can to ensure the money and power continue indefinitely.

This is at the root of many frauds I've seen in recent decades. In other words, most of these frauds are actually Crimes of Opportunity.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_of_opportunity
Looks like a PR puff piece.

The "godlike" adjective appears to refer to what is being predicted (longevity) as opposed to the quality of the model.

There aren't any numbers shared in the article which would indicate a "godlike" prediction performance improvement.
Worse is that these "audits" do not account for the other side of the equation: liabilities. They can look at the assets sure, but what good is having 1 billion if you owe 2 billion?

An actual audit is performed by an independent firm going through your books. Something that will probably never happen with crypto
My failed startup operated in a similar space: SDRs & military applications. I dunno how people don't plan from Day 1 with a knowledge of Uncle Sam's heavy-handed export restrictions in their mind.

I was using existing open-source software as a basis (GNU Radio), all of my engineers were foreigners in their home countries, my SDRs and single-board computers were dual-use hardware from multiple other nations, and my company was in Hong Kong. All because I knew I primarily wanted to target foreign countries with behind-the-power-curve militaries, not the admittedly-huge US defense market with its obnoxious barriers to entry. If you operate in the US, just keep your stuff closed source until you can afford expensive lawyers to tell you what you can share.
Objectively it would be nice to have someone help you get ahead like that. But I often wonder to myself, if your parents are well connected and get you job, does it ever bother those people that it's not who they are that got them hired but rather who their parents are. I'd love to say I wouldn't take help from my family if they were super influential but I honestly don't know.
Why do we no longer unwrap mummies, as the article states?
Which was corrected, and confirmed by their lawyer, but still getting refusals to reinstate.
Crypto going bust isn't surprising, it's just expected at this point.
Having thought of shares with different voting power is all it takes to count as financial innovation?
Potentially the other alternative would be a large tech company hires them to work on an open source mold full time.
I think the parent's point is that, if they weren't able to make money off it before, they almost certainly won't by slapping a more restrictive license on it.
Which lasted for like all of 6 months.

> So you bought a device using your own free will that didn’t meet your needs even though there was an alternative?

The device does meet my needs, it has a very capable ARM processor inside and a decent-looking screen. The only thing I need an alternative for is software, and Apple goes out of their way to prevent me from using software that respects my freedom as a user.

> that also means all of the console makers and TV smart OS vendors are acting illegally.

Ah yes, the tried-and-true "but look at [OTHER-INDUSTRY]" strawman. Console and smart TV vendors are not in the smartphone industry, much less even get treated as part of the computing industry. They're regulated as appliances, and if you think the regulation around that should change then I wholly recommend writing to your senator. You might even get me to co-sign it, too!

True, but it can be trained to a degree.

If one can make it through the sugar detox phase then it's pretty easy because the cravings do go away.

The other part is stress management; when something bad happens it's so tempting to say "fuck it, I deserve this <insert bad thing>". That's the harder part.

Because a well crafted response could write whatever they wanted to your DB as you’ve given the client too much control.

If I know, for instance, an admin is identified by an `is_admin` flag, I could add this to the allowed params and send my flag. Bam. I’m now an admin.

I know the example is a bit simplistic, but it wouldn’t take long to comb your app for a real world example where this would be problematic.
And that's precisely why public ledgers are needed. These scammers are all going to be exposed thanks to people doing detective work.

Meanwhile officials at the SEC and the CTFC were busy working on allowing regulatory capture to happen, which would have allowed FTX/BlockFi to be "regulated" entities, operating as "legit" exchanges. With BlockFi offering unrealistic APYs (supposedly not knowing the ongoing scams at Alameda Research). And FTX running a downright scam, fully knowing what was going on Alameda Research. (I'll give BlockFi the benefit of the doubt).

And these crooks at FTX/Alameda and their greased officials were that close at succeeding. Pretending decentralized exchanges needed to be regulated out of existence, while putting daddy's friends' kids at the top of the crypto exchanges food chain, free to run their complete scams.

Meanwhile legit centralized players like Coinbase (I take it they're legit) seems to be doing fine. So do decentralized exchanges like Uniswap.

These guys were basically planning the next Enron, complete with deep ties high up in the administration (the SEC and CFTC are implicated in the ongoing scandal and have lots of explanation to do).

But instead of focusing on that and how, precisely, public ledgers allowed to expose these crooks (and we may see officials falling: I hope we do for there are some who are obviously in it), let's instead, on HN, hate on crypto?

I think a serious talk needs to be had here.

We're talking about Bloomberg and Sequoia and many others presenting the biggest scammer since Enron as an altruistic white knight.

I want excuses.

And I certainly want decentralized cryptocurrencies to succeed now.
Do you have an example of that? That is really interesting.
Wait until adblockers stop working, and see many people start seeing YouTube ads again. Will they agree to stay on Chrome?
Nice design! Your features do resonate to me as a contractor because a lot of my clients know very little about computers and sharing them links to Trello, Slack, etc. often confounds them with technical debt. Having everything in one place for collaboration is ideal for those kind of customers.

It's also a double-edged sword, because decentralization is safer for me if your company ever goes belly-up or you are acquired by a company that decides to change the product for the worst. On that note, I'm not seeing any options to download or export all my upbase data. Will that be on the roadmap? I don't think I can really commit to upbase until that safety net is at least on the roadmap.
That's only half the adaptation though. You can decrease the volume, but also decrease the frequency by sticking to a strict schedule. Don't _ever_ eat outside of the normal times that you should eat and your appetite at all other times will decrease. Your body learns.

The next part is just my own made-up opinion but: I think this is also why you shouldn't under-eat because then maybe your body won't learn because it actually thinks its starving and so it won't adapt to the smaller volume and lower frequency.
It did not seem to make it that much harder for FTX...
How do you handle the default quality on their devices? I believe Plex defaults to 720p which forces unnecessary transcoding, and this is a per-user per-device default setting. I have to continuously remind my users how to update their default quality to maximum available.
Far more times? Haha. No… crypto space did a speed run of 150years of traditional finance in under a decade. For every one example you have in traditional finance, there’s 10 more in cryptocurrencies

But who are the customers for that business model? Central banks looking to roll out their own digital currency? companies involved with complicated supply chains that want to use some kind of pseudo-monetary credits for managing internal resources? payment processors that want to accept a cryptocurrency unburdened by a reputation for money laundering, sex trafficking, and drug dealing?
In order to make your analogy correct you would need to know about 9 million people.
At least they were just an intern. Look up the Tyson foods CFO. He was just arrested for public intoxication and breaking and entering when he blacked out and wondered into a strangers home and fell asleep in their bed. I saw his mug shot and thought he looked awfully young to be the CFO of a publicly traded, fortune 500 multi-national. He's just 32.

Sure enough, his last name is Tyson. Daddy is chairman of the board. He went to Harvard undergrad and Standford MBA (got in purely on merit, I'm sure). Then it looks like he worked all of 2 years in investment banking somewhere before ascending to the throne of leadership.

It's like they barely even tried to make it look like a meritocracy. Where is the fiduciary responsibility? Seems like an easy shareholder lawsuit.
Kinda nice to hear I wasn’t the only one with such an experience with Flexport.

Indeed, I also found it surprising that it wasn’t as automated as they hype it to be. Felt mostly like a glorified CRM, which I guess in the shipping industry of pen & paper is seen as a massive improvement.

> 3. The syntax is wrong. For example in bash, there are more ways to write a loop that I can to mention. Often I find myself wondering if I need no brackets, [], [[]], (), (()) - it really shouldn't be this hard or varied.

If you want even weirder syntax, just never use square brackets. Write out `test` commands manually. E.g. instead of `if [ ${string1} = ${string2} ]; then` write `if test ${string1} = ${string2}; then`. `[` is just an alias for `test`. Combining comparisons can get a bit harder to keep track of though, since there's no `]` and `test` allows logical operations with `-a` and similar. Better to call `test` multiple times and use the shell-native `&&` and similar IMO.

> to know your enemies and friends share this technology is to succor temperment in your foreign and domestic political and military policy.

Any modern superpower will jealously guard strategic military technologies.

Ergo, any country openly sharing their own will be faced with an adversary who doesn't, who will then have an advantage.

Furthermore, if you follow your line of reasoning to its end, we should dissolve the NNPT [0] and BWC [1], which would result in a much more dangerous world for everyone...

Now where the line is on what technologies fall into and outside of this delineation is a fair argument. And, I'm tempted to say, should often be at the mercy "of what's available commercially internationally" (in this case, cat seems out of the bag).

But saying that democratizing access to military-applicable technologies has a restraining effect on military adventurism doesn't seem like a cohesive argument.

Based on an interview with SBF, he made a ton (billions?) early on in the crypto days by arbitraging BTC/USD exchanges (e.g. one exchange was selling BTC at $200 and another was selling BTC at $210, so he took the difference). It's easier to throw £16B at someone who had already built the algo that got them personally to, say, $1B (in a very short amount of time).
I don't see any personal issue with the author doing what they're doing. I think it's an implication of the current system that he has to.
Downvoted for that observation. Too funny.
That doesn't really end up going well either. There are many such cases where Red Hat/Microsoft/Apple/Facebook/Amazon buys up a sterling young FOSS developer and makes them spend the rest of their life fixing the issues for [PRODUCT] while their project becomes less-and-less relevant by the day (see: CUPS, Clang, Minix).
And that’s why they qualified their statement. To give people immediate info to remember your experience may not be typical.

There really is very little historical precedent for people being totally alone, all of the example you cited are of right communities, which is the opposite of alone.

In fact the overwhelming weight of researcher points to isolation wrecking your mental health. I pointed to a meta-analysis of investigations into solitary confinement earlier. There’s no shortage of research showing similar results for contemporary non-carceral isolation. Here is an analysis pointing to increased deaths from drinking and drugs due to COVID isolation[1], point the opposite direction of your conclusion.

> However, the rest of us have a name for "bypassing government regulations" - we call it "crime".

I don’t think that’s what we call crime. Isn’t crime the direct violation of government regulations?

By your argument, the use of _any_ currency other than your own government’s would be a crime. Or, is the use of every currency a crime in every other country? When I exchange Euros for JPY in the US, have I committed a crime?

As far as I’m aware, there are no laws against the use of cryptocurrency. There are plenty of laws against things like securities fraud and fraud in general, and those are all generally well and good.

> Some governments have been financially irresponsible in the past, so we need a tool to allow us to bypass all government regulations

I think you should probably gain a clearer understanding of how the currency markets have been behaving over the last year. Many currencies have lost >30% of their value against the USD (which might not matter so much if the USD were the same status as the others).

+1 for specialization, in my experience working on a fullstack team is significantly more painful than having a specialized role. Of course it’s partially because you have to learn a bunch of stuff, but I’ve also found that fullstack teams tend to have poor planning, e.g. it’s structured as fullstack to constantly fill gaps in a not well defined project / roadmap. Fullstack is good experience if you want to do your own projects / startup, but not a peaceful job.
