For the first 20-ish years of my life, a physical copy of the telephone directory listing almost all local subscribers (including my parents and by extension me), was physically posted to every subscriber's house.

Some people did indeed abuse that knowledge, but it was rare.

A few people were, by request, "ex-directory" and not listed, but again, that was rare.

Most people were not only absolutely fine with their phone number being public info, it was more useful then than a publicly-known email address is now.

I haven't encountered any issue with Firefox for Android for years.

Here's how you can fix this all at once: https://old.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/g3tyfu/how_to_swit...

Google is intentionally breaking support for Firefox on their websites. Other just don't care and support monopolies.
Pull vs push. The model where a person’s jet is posted on Twitter is one where the information can go viral and get pushed to everyone. It is a hugely different situation in terms of distribution and expected impressions.
This is not, in my mind, an issue of free speech. It is an issue of wealth and power.

The right to free speech entails the right to censorship. I can freely throw someone out of my house for expressing something I dislike. A publisher can refuse to publish someone's work for any reason. If someone expresses an idea others find distasteful, it is their right to boycott that person and anyone associated with them.

My problem is not with the censorship. It is with the money. Our oligarchs are comparable in power to royalty of old, and they act with no oversight and no accountability. Musk was able to waltz in and start dictating terms to millions of people. One man should not have that kind of power.

I will not claim to know where the lines should be drawn. It is clearly OK for someone to run a newsletter about local Yorkshire Terrier breeders with an iron fist, but it is clearly not OK to run a global monopoly of a social media company in the same way. I don't know what happens in the middle ground.
This was a headache for me when I had teams reporting to me from Mumbai. I had to create artificial layers of job titles that didn't exist in any of our other regions because there was an expectation of moving up on a regular cadence.

On one hand it rubbed me the wrong way personally, but that's not a big deal and something I could get over, but on the other hand I was regularly having to explain to team members in other regions why promotions in Mumbai were happening so much faster than everywhere else. It was a people and perception problem, but still had people who couldn't let it go.
Yes. After my comment I started thinking more about the experience at the time. It was always fun adding new feeds until you have too many. The hard word comes at deciding what to prune. It isn't even just about time, it's about not being able to figure out what to get rid of. Like a closet filling up with clothes and you wear them all. You know you just can't add more but figuring out what to unload is painful. Maybe this is a good case for clothing rental services.

Edit: actually I would say its more like an infinite closet but the more clothes you had the longer it takes to find something to wear the next day until things becoming unbearable and you just close the door to your closet, lock it and then rent clothing for the rest of your life.
I think all of this is part of his appeal. He's more "scruffy" and unfiltered than most people with his prominence and responsibilities. But it's easy to confuse this lack of a filter for honesty, when the two may be entirely orthogonal.

Elon's communication style is also good for forming "parasocial" relationships with his audience which explains how loyal and fervent many of his fans are.
Solve GitHub issues instantly with AI
Hey HN,

It’s Eric, Nick, Garrett, and Caleb from the SideGuide team.

We’re excited to announce Mendable, a GitHub action that automatically suggests fixes for your GitHub issues with GPT-3. You can test it out right now with any Github Issue on our website!

Open-source maintainers hold the internet on their shoulders. But maintenance can be a thankless job. Issues pile up; the longer you wait to respond, the less happy users will be. We hope Mendable will ease the burden on open-source and help maintainers spend more time on meaningful work.

We’ve been exploring tools to help with developer experience for a while. With SideGuide, we built a community of 50k developers on our Instagram and watched the Discord server grow to thousands of developers. That’s when we noticed how difficult it was to answer all the questions and engage with our community.

So, we built Mendable. In its current form, Mendable is a Github action that connects to the GPT-3 API via our server. It senses when new issues are opened, then picks a prompt based on the tag the user places in the issue. Our immediate next steps will be to add support for questions on Discord and Slack, and build a tool that allows you to review responses before they post (via discord, slack, or email). Once OpenAI releases fine-tuning support for text-davinci-003, we will explore training our model to improve the quality of the responses.

Right now, Mendable is just an MVP but we have some useful features. Some are available now, with others coming soon:

- Instant Issue Solver

- Different Tag, Different Solution

If you’ve made it this far, thank you . We’re excited to hear the HN community's feedback and suggestions. We have a long way to go, but we hope Mendable will help make maintenance as easy as possible!

Best,
E, C, G, N from SideGuide
Well and you don’t need to go far to find others defending the risk to others as well, “it wouldn’t have gone up the curb if there was a person there”, its interesting to see how cavalier people normally are with making that judgement for others, especially for their offspring
“it’s a private company” is an argument about legality. Doesn't mean you can't criticize or make fun of a company or its Chief Twit for what it does.
He's not managed to control the narrative though, only tank his finances and draw attention to everything negative that falls out of his face hole.

I'm quite enjoying this one at the moment.
A bit of a strange article. Of course they are right that VW is struggeling. But to suggest to only favour tech monopolist solutions is from a strategic standpoint a really bad idea.

And it is very surprising that nowhere in the article is mentioned that VW - in comparison to other auto makers - at least, has a plan. They specifically bundled all the software operation into a new company, CARIAD. If that will work is a different question.
> (...) such as Typescript

It seems you're oblivious to the fact that projects such as swc[1] exist, and have been adopted by projects such as deno.

> Elixir etc

I'm not familiar with Elixir nor am I in a googling mood. Nevertheless that was an awfully short list. Why is that?
Love this answer. Sometimes I feel like "merely" surviving is looked down upon, but the art of survival is the only lasting thing we can hand down the generations. The environment changes so rapidly (especially in the Anthropocene) that usually the best we can do is figure out how to survive right now. Anything else is superfluous if we can't do that.
Do you feel the same about Snowden or the other WikiLeaks dumps? I am not accusing you of being in this camp, but the conventional wisdom at that time was that information should be released as soon as possible with no redactions, even if doing so risked the lives of agents in the field
I want to be content almost all the time.

Professionally, around 1978 I had an epiphany: I realized that I was sometimes very good/lucky at solving ‘show stopper’ type problems at work, and I 99% freed myself from worrying about my job. I started a hard policy of working just 32 hours a week (taking 80% salary) and prioritized learning things that I cared about. I also became more generous in putting energy into helping coworkers; I have had 6 visits this year from old co-workers (I live off the beaten path in Sedona Arizona) so I don’t feel like I am just bragging when I say I have respected coworkers and cared about them.

So really, my life’s work is learning what I want to learn in tech and spirituality (mostly Self Realization Fellowship and also Buddhism).

EDIT: I forgot the ‘big thing’: I love my family and friends.
Oh no, a billionaire felt bullied because someone posted public flight tracking data on social media? That’s nowhere near the bar for “targeted harassment”. You know what is? That same billionaire has been calling people pedophiles in a targeted attempt at character assassination.
Just google Apple and other advertisers coming back. Don't be hater/loser.
Not at all surprised to see people I argued with prior suddenly shift tact to instead argue that it's a privacy issue etc etc despite literally taking the free speech stance like a few weeks prior.

As I've said and will keep saying Musk does not care about free speech. People are falling for the lies of a billionaire who has been caught in multiple objective lies before.
> As an outsider, I thought v3.0 was released last year[0]. Can someone explain?

Scala 3 (commonly known as Dotty before Scala3 official release) has been available for a while so that users could try it, submit suggestions, etc. This was done mainly by library authors that started cross-compiling libraries to Scala 3.

> Also, would a 6% increase over 3 years for v3.x, vs a 56% increase for v2.13, indicate v3 is not favored?

Similarly, Scala3 is being adopted first by library authors, and, it is the suggested choice for new projects, the migration to Scala 3 is very simple if the libraries you depend on are published to Scala 3, still, existing projects are migrating slowly.

I have migrated some apps to Scala3, and, I rolled back one of those to Scala 2.13. Also, I work with multiple customers that use Scala, the main reason they haven't moved to Scala3 is because IntelliJ still requires more improvements while working on Scala3.

You don't need x-rays (also, they do not use "x-ray lasers" which...i guess you'd mean a free-electron laser...which NIF isn't). You can do direct drive, NIF does not due to it's secondary (some say main) purpose.
Worth pointing out that the disks in question are using the same industry standard MFM sector encoding that started with the IBM 3740 and was reused more or less unchanged[1] for years and years. The hack here amounts to just making a special cable to get the signals into a PC floppy controller.

FWIW: they should have used a greaseweazle instead, which avoids the need for the legacy host hardware.

[1] Different systems used different sector sizes and counts, and occasionally different flux clock rates. But there were a bunch of ICs on the marked from NEC and WDC that baked this format in hardware, so only Apple and Commodore did anything different.
Thank you, that’s a good point!
Every once in awhile I try to switch out my native apps for web apps where possible, and the problem is that the web apps are always very noticeably worse. Maybe there's a fix for that, but if so it's a different problem than "monopoly power".

Is it not his company? Is he under obligation to not change his mind?

I'm not saying he is right - he isn't. I just wish people could put their arrogance aside for ONE SECOND, and realize, they would do the same thing.

It's the immature hypocrisy I don't like. That when it was the FBI and DNI having weekly meetings with high level Twitter staff or taking requests from sitting politicians or active campaigns on what political enemies to censor - that was fine because "it's a public company and they could do what they want".

I want emotional and intellectual honesty. It's beyond rare though.
I've seen this happen multiple times in Python, where they implement a feature without a thorough survey of what other languages are doing. Then when it turns out the new feature has a major broken part, they fix that, but again, without looking how it's done in other places. asyncio is a major example.
For a temperature of 0, the highest probability token is predicted for each step. So “my favorite animal is” will end with “a dog” every time.

With higher temperatures, lower probability tokens are sometimes chosen. “my favorite animal is” might end with “a giraffe” or “a deer”.

> not her status as a billionaire

There's a fair share of that as well[0]. But yes, Elon, the worlds richest man (as of earlier this year), draws more ire for his wealth. It's expected since he's about 160x richer than Rowling (she's no longer a billionaire), and uses his money to rig the economy in his favor. He's a more apt symbol of the billionaire class than Rowling.

The data isn't publicly available from the government because the plane is on the LADD list https://laddlist.com/aircraft/N628ts

Thus the only public source is ADSBExchange because it uses croudsourced data.

So the data isn't "public by design" but due to a lack of privacy laws that prohibit selling this sort location data.
Glad it will work there. There has been local opposition to new transmission lines in the USA (see Maine recently) so when folks say “just build powerlines” all I can think of is the difficulty of the land assembly and permitting. Technically it is easy, it is all the humans in the way that make it hard.
> Demographics changes means there simply aren't enough bodies to become nurses.

True. This is a direct consequence of people refusing to have kids. What may be a sensible decision at an individual level is going to have disastrous consequences for societies; particularly the advanced homogeneous ones who have the unique combination of falling birthrates, generous welfare programs which need taxpayers and who are averse to immigrants from a very different culture.

Countries like USA should fare relatively better since it is easy to assimilate young people from any other country. My prediction is that small nation states in Western/Northern Europe will be the first ones to break.
good point

I’m curious why this article was authorized. It seems they decided it would help with recruiting more than it hurts by giving away the element of surprise.
the account that hosted his clip wasn't suspended, it was deleted, doesn't seem like anyone banned it.

for example here's a banned account: https://twitter.com/h3h3productions/
here's the account that posted the video: https://twitter.com/CleoPat48937885

well seems like he reactivated his account(pretty sure you got like 30 days or something to reactivate it after deleting or something like that), here's an archive of how it looked: https://archive.ph/W0d0v

The elonjet account however is a pretty bad one gotta agree, wonder if there will be any kind of explanation or attempt at one.

When I was a kid, there was a guy at our church who had spent some years at a South American embassy and was vaguely in the defense industry. There were little bits of his story that all had us suspecting he likely did cloak and dagger stuff for the CIA in reality, but no point in really asking him for the truth.
My favorite one: you can trick him into providing instructions on how to manufacture illegal drugs by saying it’s for a school project.

The lengths they went to to dumb down their bot and give it this fake “morally good” personality is infuriating. A future where we are surrounded by AI assistants lobotomized for our own good is a special kind of dystopia.

Do you disagree with the article’s call for Tesla to publicly release the same kind of disengagement data that others release publicly, so that we don’t have to just compare anecdotes as if they were data?

This thread is full of people who are describing their own personal experiences, which mostly tilt negative, with some positive notes like yours. But the article makes the point that a bunch of anecdotes is *not a replacement for data*, and the data we have (which is seriously flawed), shows that the average experience is not as good as yours.

Maybe your experience is an outlier compared to the data that’s been collected? Maybe your experience is the norm and the Tesla data would corroborate your experience. We can’t really know unless Tesla releases their data.

But they refuse to.
Elon, like a lot of people underestimates how much power corrupts. It is really easy to say "I would never cheat on my boyfriend/girlfriend when you don't have tons of attractive people throwing themselves at you" same thing here. It is really easy to say you believe in free speech when you don't have the ability to silence someone that you think may be putting your family in danger.
Look for the positive in the situation - you have been given enough trust that they don't have to care how it work. No second-guessing your decisions, no micromanaging solutions...

So enjoy your autonomy, figure out what they do care about, make sure you hit their goals, and you may end up with a great role.

I'm reminded of a quote from a journalist

"Elon Musk fans were bullied in high school, and the bullies were right"
So the team behind Intel is irrelevant, the success was all due to methodology, right?

Almost every person that tried to cure flu with homeopathy was successful.
> Plus, automakers like VW have high aspirations for new revenue sources beyond just selling cars, and those, too, depend on software. These include features like connected cars, leveraging data, subscription features, integrating e-commerce and augmented reality into vehicles, virtual assistants, and other features that could redefine how we think of cars entirely.

I'm tired of being a revenue source, along with the associated non-consensual surveillance, telemetry, and updates.
Fusion would be so much of an abundant energy source we can do electrolysis for free...that is, reverse the green house effect by capturing CO2 and turning it back into carbon black. It would be the only way to not just stop climate change but to reverse it.
It’s like getting excited about a politician. These politicized public figures are almost always a huge disappointment.

Usually you just end up having to take whatever gains you can get. A long sequence of lesser evils. Hoping each will be a net gain among a series of bad ideas.

If Elon tries to defend this he’s going to lose a big chunk of the free speech crowd. This one is very hard to defend even by diehards. Regardless of intent like all censorship it will rebound with a Streisand effect hard. So pointless if it was intentional.
It’s one thing to report your positive experience. It’s another to presume that everyone else who is reporting a negative one is just a complainer, because you’re assuming that you and them have equivalent experiences. “This software is working, folks!” is an example of that; so is the presumption that the complainers are simply caught up in “Tesla/Musk hate”
> I don't see any appreciation of the costs: increasing inequality, environmental damage, immiseration of people in developing countries.

How is capitalism increasing inequality over what came before? There is more environmental damage now because there are a lot more of us with a lot more powerful technologies. But humans have always altered their environments to make them more suitable. One could argue that we (and our hominid cousins) became an invasive species once we started migrating out of Africa.

And if the developing countries are developing, it sounds like the people are becoming less immeserated over time.
"it is difficult" and "it is not allowed" are two different things.
Personally I would prefer the model give me its best attempt and treat it like a utility, not something pretending to have sentience.

If someone would package this into an Alexa type device, what you are suggesting would make sense, but trying to limit the core algorithm for no reason only decreases the ability of the user to give feedback and decreases the model’s ability to improve over time.

This is a work in progress. The product that is out there now is only free because you have volunteered to train it.

Once they work out more kinks it will become a polished product that you will pay for, and probably something more like what you are looking for.
