2) It's open source, as in software with an open source. But it's not “OSI Certified” open source software.

The term “open source” is not trademarked. It's high time well-meaning people stopped appropriating the term and pedantically corrected people who use the term outside of their own narrow definition.

My guess would be the time. If this would be built in 3-5 years, then with a demonstrator it would take 5 to 10 years to complete. Also - not enough (heh) money constraints.
True. The very very few people who disabled JavaScript will have to add some more websites to their allow list.

The problem is this: Google cloud team probably want that chrome browser has more extensions, that extensions can control network flow (security, monitoring, etc.), and that it is easy to hot fix. On the other hand, Google ads team does not like extensions at all: especially if they can be used to block ads. Ads team has more $$ while cloud team are fighting hard to become relevant.

Thus the shitshow.

How long should they be given to deliver?

FSD was first sold 6 years ago. The FSD hardware has a warranty of 4 years. The average car lasts about 11 years.

Tesla no longer guarantees the functionality of the hardware, yet has failed to deliver the software. They are inching towards failing to deliver during the car's economic lifespan. Legally, would it be acceptable for them to deliver in 2032, when the first cars sold with FSD have long been scrapped?
Why? What is your specific reasoning? Using EXPLAIN and SP's to help fix cache misses, slow queries, poor index performance, etc. is generally considered a good thing.

As a side note, I did not realize $diety was concerned about DDL/DML, so thanks for pointing it out. I never really thought about it.
In many scientific research projects the same dangerous theme keeps surfacing: monolithic thinking, with “no alternatives allowed”. I feel this is very detrimental to both scientific progress as well as to the broader society.

Yes, but I have heard exact that phrase for decades to rationalize tech decisions for tools that weren't needed.

I know you're different, but think of all the people who have the same problems.

> need to index something simple enough, like email addresses for quick login

It sounds like you might be unfamiliar with the common trick to index long text fields in Postgres: you just make an index of hashed values, and use that for lookup as well to ensure index gets hit.

In case you are familiar with it, maybe it helps someone else who stumbles upon this. :)
"If every business decides to arbitrarily double their profit margin"

Increasing profit margin requires either increasing price per unit or decreasing cost per unit.

Decreasing cost per unit doesn't affect consumer prices.

Increasing price per unit would send customers to competitors.

Only a monopolist can just 'decide' to double their profit margins.

I really like postgres, but I'm starting to wonder if some of these articles are GPT or not.

> we have been honest

Well, that's also the thing - internal docs and interviews have shown that Musk was well aware that "FSD will be here, this year", year after year, was not ever going to be true.
Because it is neither. It is just a mindless generative model. It’s “brilliance” or “idiocy” is just random variation of an unaware algorithmic process.

Libraries such as https://github.com/hwchase17/langchain allow for easy programmatic pipelines of GPT "programs". So you could imagine taking a few hundred of these programs written by humans for various tasks, as are sure to come into existence in the next year or two, then adding those programs to the training data and training a new GPT that knows how to write programs that call itself.
That was around the time the the final parts of the standardization procedure was getting finished: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JPEG_XL#Standardization_status

Serious question, though: when the data span several instances, how well does PostGreSQL do compared with Elasticsearch?
> If you don't have the discipline to do these things then they are likely best avoided.

I'd go further and say you should avoid databases and maybe even persistence entirely if you don't have the discipline to do the above. Sprocs will be the least of your problems otherwise.
> Looking at his track record, he got fired from Zip2 and PayPal

Technically, no, he got fired as CEO from X.com twice, once before it had PayPal as a product, once after it bought Confinity which had PayPal as a product. X.com became PayPal right after the second time he was fired, so he never actually got fired from (or worked for) PayPal.

Exactly this. Having a MS/PHD does not guarantee that you are on the forefront of a field. When I started my MS program, I was behind, and when I finished, I was behind.
I think you entirly missed the point.

As others in this thread have posted, sometimes board members are just "window dressing".

>I thought the point of forward secrecy in end-to-end encrypted messaging was to protect past conversations at the transport layer against the key being compromised?

Yes. Exactly. Only the transport part is protected. Contrast, say, TLS with messaging. TLS is basically an encrypted pipe. Plaintext goes in and plaintext comes out. If someone saves some of that plaintext and it gets leaked, well, that isn't your job to prevent that but you can at least provide forward secrecy. After all, people don't normally save their sensitive web pages for extended periods of time...

With messaging, saving old messages is more or less the default. When that happens the value of forward secrecy is negated. If you want your old messages to be gone, you (and your correspondent) actually have to get rid of them.

>...man-in-the-middle attacker...

Terminology quibble. I think this would be normally described as recording the encrypted messages off the wire. MITM implies than an attacker is impersonating one or more correspondents.
It’s definitely making the software better.

See the MSC3917 document linked by Arathorn. They have put a lot of effort into thinking about the threat models and how to address each them.

Is it perfect? Well, no. But it’s a hard problem and they are making meaningful progress.
the paper and this design decision by Matrix teams has recently been discussed at length in an SCW podcast (paging Thomas H. Ptacek). One of my fav episodes yet. Very sobering unfortunately.

Can someone explain why I shouldn't just use something like cockroachdb, yugabyte or spanner for my primary database nowadays? I've seen the pain and resources wasted from teams needing to find ways to shard mysql and postgres and make them scale. Sure, you might say I might never need that scale but why not just avoid this problem entirely? If I'm building something I intend to support hundreds of millions of users why would I choose a technology I know will fail to scale to that?
The best part of Postgres was it wasn't MySQL.

...geospatial types were just a nice addition later. ;)
This reminds me that coding with ChatGPT felt like pair programming with a not super smart person who could google and type really fast. Not really fun!
> Safari is absolutely neglected because apple makes all their money in the app store, so it's in their interests to have a shoddy browser from a feature perspective

This is a strange take as far as extensions are concerned, because last year iOS Safari introduced extension support, something that Android Chrome still doesn't have. And Apple does sell Safari extensions in the App Store, so extension development is in their interests.
If people were buying properties, and leaving them desolate and unused for long periods of time in the hopes of cashing out one day later, then yes absolutely.
I've just started at a company using MSSQL and it feels like a massive backwards step. This article indirectly shows what's missing with MSSQL - an 'ecosystem' of people developing products on top of it, and a much larger number of people working on what is, ironically, a free product.

That would be an unconventional explanation for why people with children have messy houses.
Oracle database can do all of these things as well, and they even have a complete low code development and hosting environment running in the database, Oracle Apex. I know there are a couple of companies that actually serve their home page straight from their oracle database.
> If they weren’t VPs, they would still be regular MPs, so only a 800 € difference.

But if those 14 VPs were MPs then there wouldn't be the need for 14 other MPs.

Which means that the difference per VP would be the price of an MP + 800 EUR (of difference between VP and MP), which is exactly the price of a VP.

In other words, no, the difference would still be ~3.7 - 4.6 million / year in total.
I’d buy a paper edition if it were available to “support the cause”.

The last programming language book I bought the author got two sales because Amazon didn’t follow the delivery notes where I specifically said don’t leave it on the porch or it will get stolen and one of my sketchy neighbors got a free copy. Almost got a third sale as well but I happened to be home and tracking the delivery driver so managed to get it off my porch before the neighbors saw it.
I'm fine with most researchers pursuing a particular direction, but I get concerned when incentives align that provide a significant pressure for them to research what they wouldn't naturally want to research. It seems like there should be a distribution of research directions, not everyone in lockstep. It's hard to gauge from the outside to what degree that is happening in our research institutions today.
That sounds uncharitable. The Tesla ML model is among the best on the market right now, with millions of miles of training video, lots of FLOPs spent on training and a top-tier engineering team, no?

Let’s say the system responds correctly to X% of stimuli, what’s the delta here? We do know that effort and difficulty increases exponentially as we approach 100%, but what’s fraud here? That someone thought they’d hit 99.999999% already but only hit 99.9%?
Honestly, I don't know how you can fall for this
Is there anything interesting about this compared to NoMachine, which was recommended by HN'ers in another recent thread that discussed remote access solutions?
There's still a product requirement missing there, which is the ability to get to lots of different places.

I think there's a lot of economic logic in a vehicle that can navigate easily constructed roads - without any smart devices embedded in them - and yet still needs metaphorical guiderails for the exceptions like construction zones and downtown populated areas. That still keeps road construction cheap (just asphalt and paint!) but gets you 100% of the way to where you want to be. If you add rails you need to lay them everywhere that a road is now, and you need switches at each intersection.
> they live in source control

so that probably excludes 95% of legacy codebases out there from the 90s,00s
> Don't have your core business logic operate over database rows

This is the part where I don't agree, as SQL is very expressive, and needlessly loading data to your app is also not performant (making the transition to something else required sooner).

I think writing parts of your business logic in SQL that make sense to be written in SQL is just fine.

If you only use it to load and write entities, then that is basically a glorified KV store.
Well the pictures prove the whole "line" bullshit is nothing more than marketing if there is that much boring infrastructure already around it from the start.

Aren't we just falling for their plans for giving it that much media attention?
Flip side of this--many years ago, internet cafe in Shanghai.

First she needs to be found guilty in a court of law, then the needs to be sentenced.

Or is that innocent until proven guilty not a thing any more?
OP is talking about being surprised by steady progress to a major human achievement, one that could save a million lives for starters, but also one that in its mature state (where robots can visually interpret and navigate 3d space) unlocks even more labor saving automation than cars, busses, and trains put together.

It has the dark side of military uses, sure, but given how developed our tools for blind destruction already are, robots that can see the world will make a much bigger dent on the positive side.

Progress on this is genuinely exciting and people should let themselves feel that even if they don't like Elon Musk.

Do you need (or at least benefit from) your database to run in-process? Because that is the only advantage I can see to SQLite over Postgres. Which makes it the better candidate in many places, but not for anything like a server.
In those particular cases I think every title is a warning sign for pathologcal narcissism. If people are going to see it that way, one title is enough. If they aren’t going to see it that way you could clobber them with 50 titles and they still won’t get it.

Note that these aren’t diluted with any real accomplishments (though Baudrillard taught us that the use of the world ‘real” is itself a danger sign.). They are not a ‘public speaker about ancient rome’ or somebody who ‘grew revenue of a company 475% in three years’, etc.

+10000 I really enjoyed working with Tauri, but had to drop it because after a few days of porting my app to it, I released that it doesn't support AppStore distribution (i.e. creating properly signed .pkg files). This wasn't clear in the docs, and the videos I watched implied the opposite.

The team is doing amazing work and I don't blame them for this, it's perfectly normal for things to slip.

I'm excited about Tauri partially because (in my specific use case) even if I build for Mac only, the UX I can deliver with it will be much better with a hybrid app than SwiftUI [1].

The lesson here is that if you're planning to work with Tauri and Mac, you might want to focus on testing the entire pipeline (design, develop, distribute) first, and then, once you can push to TestFlight, pushing and testing features. Again, YMMV.

[1] Weirdly enough, there's almost no way for me to build a native app that will beat the performance of an optimised web app. Again, my use case is very specific (a niche text editor), but I find it hilarious given how much sh*t web apps get on HN.
I interviewed a (junior) candidate once that had tried and failed at a hackathon to build an Rails system that connected restaurants and shops with excess food to charities that gave food away to those that needed it.

I asked him what he’d done to work around the technical difficulties, and it turned out that he’d set up a Wordpress site with a phone number of the guy running the scheme, and a Google sheet to manage contact details.

A better definition of MVP I’m yet to see.
I think (1.) is especially tricky b/c it works if you're small (experienced this myself with Hibernate, not understanding transaction levels) and then breaks with the number of concurrent transactions.

When the company rapidly grows you get mysterious bugs - in the worst case customers seing other customers data because of the wrong transaction levels.
You can use a spoon as a knife, it will just take you more effort.

12 is such a useful number given it has 2,3,4 and 6 as factors- lots of fairly simple mental math can get you pretty far.

20 is nice, but you could make the same argument for 30 (5x6). In both cases, there's too much overhead because you still have the useful 10 as a factor in any situation that doesn't need groups of rectangles.

I don't know if this adds much to the discussion, other than perhaps there isn't really a need for ranchers and bakers to use the same factors or base counting system?
I wonder if there is a strange discrepancy between the perceived and actual value that is being derived for the cartridge from.

In my mind I can think of two main sources for the value: its rarity in ability to play (the rarity of the playable game itself) or rarity in ownership of the physical cartridge. While I think the collectors perceive the value is derived from the former, I’m skeptical that it’s where the actual value is derived because of the value of special editions of Super Mario Bros carts (which can obviously be played easily) and, in a different way, the value of art that appears in museums.

The "iterate from there until you get something you like" requires a great deal of experience working with the model. Personally I've spent at least 100 hours in total messing with SD, with an eye towards understanding it and improving at using it, and I still wouldn't say I'm "good at it" in the sense of being able to create something that really looks how I want it to look (I'm not an artist though).

Imagine going back to 1960 and showing a programmer modern JavaScript. Surely this new "JavaScript" thing will completely replace programmers! I mean, what use is a programmer when someone can just describe their program in a language that looks almost like English (relative to this stack of punchcards I've been working with!). The user doesn't have to spend time fiddling with memory management. Complex algorithms like search and sort are abstracted away into simple functions. Why, implementing all that was 99% of a programmer's job! Sure, you still have to format the program in a particular way, but any random John should be capable of that with a little tweaking!

And you know, the old programmer would kind of be correct. It takes no less than two weeks to learn React and throw together a decent webapp now (not an enterprise-scale webapp, but a good proof of concept). Despite this 99% reduction to the barrier of entry, there's still a lot of paid work for web developers.
