On the other hand, I found US engineers were way more likely to try to exaggerate their own work and push for promotion, etc. whereas the EU had more team solidarity.

Like working with US engineers there was one who deliberately put meetings at bad hours (time zone difference), or would "accidentally" send the invite to your pager email instead, etc. to make others look bad.
Thank you for reading! I never thought to accept contributions on here, but these look great. Thank you for sending it over!
Right but implementation wise we've never implemented as a default anything else. Domain suffix pinning is available as an extension, but that's all it is - very few TLS stacks support it and that's unlikely to ever change.

>squirrel away zero days on their own products for the better part of a year or more

The bug was discovered by Google on 2021-07-11, the fix was submitted on 2021-07-27, it was merged into the then-current Chrome version on 2022-08-11, and the bug was made public on 2021-11-02.

https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=122803...

Since Google found the vulnerability internally and at the time had no knowledge that anyone else knew about it, Google didn't know it was a zero day a the time.

>quietly publish blog posts

I think publishing a blog post is the opposite of quiet.

Disclosure: I work at Google but not on any of these teams.
Administration has no clue which projects are good and which "scientists" won't spend the money on a sea of booze.

Two mechanisms should be used:

1. Administration decides which projects had real world effect, years or even decades after the work is done.

2. A directed social graph is built from citations and from working together on projects.

Money should be allocated to the network. Administration decides who did good work in the past; funding is allocated to everyone endorsed by those people; scientists vote with their grant money for projects that they believe in.
I agree.

As my business become more complicated and I become less a tech oriented student and more a "have to get the paperwork done for legal reasons" type person I went back to iPhone and never looked back.

I noticed many people I know running very time consuming business to be iPhone users too, not having the time to tinker with Android.

I notice my tech friends working in support love android, as their job doesn't really let them tinker. How we for those running's servers and dealing with backend stuff I see iPhone ownership is about 50/50, far higher than in support.

And most people I know that own their own business like I do are almost always iPhone users.

We just do not have time to dig deep into our phones and tinker, we have too much work to do and we are already stretched for time with our families, why waste that on configuring yet another Android ?
"but I think you can not export to a fully interactive HTML application"

You can, with the help of integrated EaselJS. But it is way more complicated, so I also never used it and I don't know if anyone is using it at all.

And yes, the ease of flash is gone. This was the most appealing of it.
You can use other payment methods in android apps without any issues.
AppStore apps are sandboxed almost the same as on iOS.

In my experience you find a lot of spectrum. Keep in mind that reviewers today are the authors tomorrow. Some people in academia are incredibly arrogant and view themselves as the next Feynman, and dismiss marginal advances or small results. Anything under perfection and lots of work behind isn't worth publishing. But you have also the honest ones that can recognize value in the small advances.

But in general you are right: we deserve this because the amount of arrogance is too high, and more often than not you have to deal with someone who firmly believes they deserve the Nobel price.
I agree that unaligned incentives have lead to the replication crisis, but I fail to see how research driven by “curiosity” and not by “success” will align those incentives. The author admits that poor incentives have determined the course of academia/research, but I think rather than getting away with incentives altogether and just letting people be “creative”, we should find better ways to align incentives, and encourage a system of reliable peer review to restore the trust in research.
I've been thinking about this sometimes, I don't understand why there hasn't been any editor suite to generate HTML5 + JS animations like Macromedia Flash did. On the foundation it's basically the same concepts: a canvas that can draw vectors and a scripting language based on ECMAScript. The editor then has a timeline control and can render the appropriate assets for animating it: vectors and scripts that animate those vectors based on the timeline information.

Is there some technical limitation I haven't figured out? Or is it simply a matter that no one has done it yet?
An animal lab is by definition grim. I've also been in many, including the very UC Davis lab where these neuralink studies were done, many times.

What you reference is clearly a PR campaign from Neuralink in response to:

"In a lengthy complaint filed with the US Department of Agriculture (USDA), Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) said the research caused “extreme suffering” in its test subjects, who “had their brains mutilated in shoddy experiments and were left to suffer and die”..."PCRM obtained hundreds of pages of health records, necropsy reports and other documents related to the $1.4m partnership through California’s open records laws. It said the documents reveal the monkeys suffered “extreme psychological distress” from the “crude surgeries”

There are so much bad hiring practices in our industry that I indeed choose to trust the rare companies that do it right over the ones that cargo cult Google brain teaser questions, make you implement quicksort on a whiteboard, give you a take-home project that will take you forever but they will hardly glance at, will stop replying to you because ghosting is good, ...

That's the first impression I get from an unknown company and I decided to trust it.

I personally hate it. I wish they could just give a clear specification of what they want instead of putting it in the format of a story where some things are vague.
Mid day meal scheme has become an important program run by the government against malnutrition. It’s been two decades since the program was implemented and is always considered a success in the fight against undernourishment. It ensures nutritious food to all students till class 8 and the statistics have shown that it helped to improve the enrolment of girls in schools and attendance by the students. But while the scheme has been successfully implemented so far, there still exist some challenges.
I asked ChatGPT for advice about how to learn a foreign language. (I teach and do research in the field.) In two tests, the responses were perfect. Here’s a video in which I narrate the second test:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJ7RCVte4HY

Here’s the beginning of the transcript:

Me: I’m thinking of starting to study a foreign language like Japanese or French. Do you have advice about how I should go about studying it?

ChatGPT: Learning a foreign language can be a rewarding and enjoyable experience. Here are a few tips to help you get started:

Set specific goals for why you want to learn the language and what you hope to achieve by studying it. This will help you stay motivated and focused on your studies.

Find a good textbook or online course that is tailored to your level and learning style. This will provide you with a structured way to learn the language and help you progress at a steady pace.

Practice speaking and listening to the language as much as possible. This can be challenging at first, but it is essential for developing your proficiency in the language. You can find language exchange partners or practice with friends who are also learning the language.

Immerse yourself in the language by listening to music, watching TV shows or movies, and reading books in the language. This will help you improve your comprehension and expand your vocabulary.

Be patient and persistent. Learning a foreign language takes time and effort, but with dedication and practice, you can achieve your goals.

Me: Thank you. That sounds like valuable advice. Do you have suggestions about what kinds of books I should read? Or how I should go about reading books in the foreign language? ...
We "HN chicken littles" were also saying that Microsoft is gonna force Secure Boot harder and harder to close the hardware ecosystem for Linux, and we're almost there.

Being skeptical, and critical is important. This skepticism, criticizing and warning caused Apple to at least postpone their CSAM scan and reconsider their algorithms.

We need to talk, and talk indeed openly about the things we don't like. Otherwise we'll be the real chickens at the end of the day.
When is SBF going to be arrested? I cannot believe he did this and lost US customers money yet he can walk free.
During that timeframe, I dismissed Ruby/Rails for similar reasons.

First of all, regardless of what everyone says regarding how "inovative" Rails was, Tcl and Python did it first, with AOLServer and Zope.

During the .com wave, I was part of a startup with a product for CMS development, that was basically inspired from AOLServer, although we did our own thing.

It supported Windows 2000/NT, Aix, HP-UX, Solaris, Linux (only for dev purposes), SQL Server (Sybase and Microsft variants), Informix, Oracle, Access (only as demo concept), and we were in the process of adding DB 2 support as well.

We went down in the .com crash, and Lisbon isn't SV, so hardly anyone heard of us, but it doesn't change the fact we were already better than Rails v1.0 in 1999.

Second, I know Python since version 1.6, so Ruby hardly brings anything other to the party than a Smalltalk inspired workflow, without the IDE experience.
look like a poorly generated AI text, so done by a human :))
>Say you have a 100 developers and you reason each should get a second monitor worth 300$, because this increases productivity by 20%.

>According to an accountant, you just added 30K in costs to the books, with nothing to show for it. You can't eat productivity nor is it a line item in the books.

Right, this is why developers should NOT get 2nd monitors.

Even better, the business can save another $30k by not getting the developers any monitors at all.

"The Jews are the problem"?
Did they tell you to implement “Conway's Game of Life” in that many words, or they gave you the rules they wanted to implement?

If the first, that sounds like a terrible question. If the second, that sounds like a quite straightforward fizbuz style coding task.

> I'm well aware of GoL and maybe should know how to do it

What do you mean “should know how to do it”? I don’t think you should have memorised the rules, or an implementation. But I think if you are a software developer you should be able to turn human language into code. That is a key skill of the job.
It is actually an excellent example/warning for people, especially tech people, to not assume soundess of business based on the polish of the website/app.
Most companies have a website, an Android App and an iPhone app. If Apple is the only thing that is keeping great PWAs off the market, why are companies bothering to create Android apps instead of telling Android users just to use their website?
Imagine a brain, it's made of two parts. Say, chemical impulses, and a physical substrate. Now the chemicals don't speak Chinese. And the physical substrate doesn't speak Chinese.

Therefore nobody speaks Chinese.

Does not create the same outrage as "vegan bacon". Marketing dept abusing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_dissonance to create a buzz. Half of YouTube (and TikTok?) is about reacting to outrageous things, so by now, it's not just the marketing departments that benefit from this practice, but vloggers too. Seems to be working (for them all,) so we'll see more of it.
So some people and journalists don't like it when the terms of service applies to them.

After all, it is a platform platform™ and has its own terms of service like before. It's just that it now equally enforced and applies to everyone more properly.
Nah, the blog post was eventually updated with all the missing information. The updates weren't there when I originally commented.
I can't think of any websites that don't work with Firefox. It was hell back in the IE days because a lot of sites required ActiveX or whatever that nonsense was.
Rust doesn't have "volatile variables" that's a weird C thing which then ends up in C++ and related languages because nobody wants to touch this mess.

The purpose of "volatile" is to mark MMIO so that the memory reads and writes don't get optimised out because they actually perform I/O. Everywhere you see volatile abused to do something else (yes including Unix signal handlers) that's because C has a hammer and so now everything looks like a nail to C programmers. In a few cases this abuse is guaranteed to work (and results in a lot of heavy lifting elsewhere to achieve that) in most cases it's just luck.

Rust has generic intrinsics which perform memory read/write that won't get optimised out, which is the actual thing C needed when volatile was invented.

Somebody correct me if I’m wrong but hasn’t ML research ultimately been a result of public funding, at least to the largest extent?
Such an argument is not useful, because no one wants viewport units that include the document scrollbars. Only with great difficulty can I imagine a valid use case for such units (and the recent CSS property scrollbar-gutter is a better solution for almost all remaining theoretical applications) and don’t believe I have encountered even a single instance in the wild.
It's also the idea in many safety engineering orgs around how to mechanistically prevent something from happening again even though someone still might try to do the same thing again. In other words, blaming people for mistakes or fraud won't fix the problem since people make mistakes and commit fraud so it will simply happen again. Organizations and governments need to block those mistakes and fraudulent actors from being able to have the impact again that they had previously and we're trying to avoid.

That doesn't mean the person at fault can't also be blamed and punished as a warning to others (i.e. one more mechanism to prevent recurrence).
I mostly agree with your point, but it's a bit more specific than that. I used to work in airfare advertising and we could target ads at people who were interested in certain locations. You searched for flights to Paris and they were $600 and didn't purchase? Well now there's a weekend deal where it's $450 and we'll bid on Instagram ads that target you. You've flown to Europe, Asia and North America? Here's some Latam flight ads. Flew to Chicago over the Christmas holiday? We'll show you some Chicago flight ads next October.

We didn't get access to the actual user lists, but the queries you could build in your ad bids could include these factors. We were also in a special "Ads For Travel" partner program, so we probably had bid options not available to the average FB ads account manager.
Apps background execution and battery use permissions get revoked randomly. It's generally confined to the Tasker and other tools which interface with Tasker, tho.

However, as a result, the backup tasks I created my parents keep stopping randomly, and I don't like that.
For those debating privacy here, we are still waiting for the year of Linux on desktop what makes you think that a fully featured smartphone with true privacy control is possible? Good luck staying away from Google on Android, it is a matter of choosing the less evil, and in my opinion Google is worse than Apple. Not only their entire business model is ads, they also run hardware divisions to get more ads revenue. Sure, Apple will never pass on the opportunity for some extra ads revenue but might have less pressure from its board and stakeholder to squeeze every single penny given the argument that this would impact the main revenue stream. Google does not have this luxory
Flying cars aren't a thing not because we can't practically do it, but because it is an absolutely horrifying idea to turn the average driver into a pilot with an aircraft that they are in charge of maintaining. (Or was that your point?)
Let's be intellectually honest here. Do you have any substantiated sources? Those are claims. I can make a false claim that you did the same.

Also, Ashley Vance does not work for Neuralink.

What a way to overreact
I'm sorry but I hate this take so much and I hate it even more that it's so accepted. Blaming men (or collective manhood called "the patriarchy") for their own suicide rates would be considered gaslighting and victim shaming in any other context but when it comes to men you can just casually drop it and people will consider it a sophisticated take on male suicide rates.

I don't even fully disagree with you – it is a problem that men are less likely to open up, are less likely to have a close friend, etc. But just saying "patriarchy" and "cultural norms" is a lazy cop out. You don't look at something that mostly affects women such as anorexia, say "well it's cultural norms, women should work on that" and shrug it off.

It's not an original take but I strongly believe that there's a biological basis to things that men do that both makes them kill themselves at higher rates but also makes them work the worst jobs like oil drill workers or industrial divers. But way too many times the toxic aspects of masculinity are highlighted (often for good reasons) while the positive aspects are ignored and belittled. Some good, high-level evidence for this is that even in super gender egalitarian cultures such as Sweden men still kill themselves at around three times the rate than women.

Instead of waxing about "the patriarchy" and "cultural norms" how about doing some research and looking into systemic issues?

Disclaimer: This mostly makes me so angry because I was personally affected. I spent years with suicidal ideation and being close a few times because I was highly depressed due to growing up with a borderline mother and then having a longterm borderline partner. When I finally found the energy to look for therapy I found that most therapists are female and it's really hard to find a male therapist (systemic issue right here). I had the enormous luck to find one who did a masculinity-positive therapist - and please don't think Jordan Peterson here – and I still think that this man saved my life. I really don't want to imagine what would have happened if I had found a therapist talking about the patriarchy – because it really is just another way of saying "man up". BTW: I ultimately left my abusive, borderline girlfriend and she never had to feel any social repercussions for her behaviour. Is that also "the patriarchy"? If yes, then the term is completely meaningless. Do you think showing vulnerability would have helped me in that situation? I don't think so, it actually just made her angrier.

Long story short: Before you drop this take next time, please do some more research into what men can suffer from and think about whether it's all just the patriarchy. Thanks for listening.
Which country do you live in if you don't mind me asking, and are you talking about personal or business accounts? In the UK there are "premium" personal bank accounts that will charge you a (low) monthly fee, but you usually get benefits from these such as free travel insurance, and the fee will often be waived if you deposit £x per month. Transfers to most countries are free, withdrawals and deposits are free and two of my accounts don't charge for currency conversions or foreign withdrawals.
Traditional business accounts will sometimes charge withdrawal and deposit fees (especially on cash at the counter), and usually charge an (again low) monthly fee, but even in that sector you can find lots of accounts now that are essentially free.
I'm curious whether this is different in other countries.
I got dizzy reading the response from the CA, such a long email.
Thankfully, there were people picking it apart in the responses.
It sounds like they did their jobs exactly the way management wanted them to do their jobs. The proof is that they received lots of praise and raises.
My parents use a Mac, it’s still occasionally a hostile environment for them. The iPhone has vastly more users, who are installing many more apps. People put all of their digital lives into these devices. I really don’t want iPhones to be as a open as a Mac!
All hands off sites in "remote" companies are so often a way to make up for the ways the company has failed to implement a stable async remote culture.

What's depressing about the saga of utf8 adoption is that it's such an obvious solution. The ISO2022 standards used the principle since the 70s, and programmers of the era were widely accustomed to extending 8 bit instruction sets to multibyte instructions.

It's one of those cases where you need to hit your head hard and repeatedly until you bite the bullet and accept that the cost of multibyte (for example, strlen() different from character count, need to parse to seek etc.) are trivial compared to the benefits.
Yes and I’m sure if Apple allowed side loading those side loaded apps would be successful. Just look at all of the popular profitable mainstream apps for Android that are not on the Google Play store.

But it came out in the Epic Trial that 80% of App Store revenue came from pay to win games. Most of the other big none game money makers stopped supporting in app purchases years ago - like Netflix and Spotify.
Is there any situation where you end up using the type system for interacting with APIs but also have to webscrape on the same service?

I am interested in hearing more about this as maybe I should switch from Node to Deno for a scraping project I have.
I do agree with you on that! Safari shouldn’t really be tied to the system, also.

But having said that I now use safari and Firefox and I enjoy having both. Safari is simple and fast and gets the job done.

Firefox I use for a different kind of web surfing. Especially with containers. But safari syncs with my phone. So that’s another kind of browsing is do.

Since there was substantial evidence that these were one and the same company. The CA had no substantial public certificate issuing program regardless so kicking it out was an easy decision either way (and begs the question what exactly it is they were doing to justify the multi million dollar operating costs of a root CA).
