So, this is very impressive no matter how you slice it. But the "recipe" it was given was very specific and rules-based. You still have to do some of the most important mental work of programming. But it's a hell of a lever.

I've long thought that the end game for most professional programmers is to be sort of technical program managers, writing rigorous specs for AI to turn into code, and then correcting/tweaking the code. GH Copilot is already surprisingly good at this, and GPT shows just how much more capable it's going to get. For those of us who actually like the break-it-down-to-literal-code part of programming, it's... mixed news at best. But there's likely going to be use for humans who are good at this kind of deconstructive thinking for a long time.
I agree but ultimately those are still advertising :)
All those businesses (except GCP) boils back down to ads. They still manage to diversify better than Facebook, because they diversified where they show ads, but it's still pretty much just ads.
I’ve seen an HN post about a joke using the word “musketeer”: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33932041 .
Even if it's safe...what's the short term benefit for riders beyond curiosity? Presumably cheaper fares + more throughput but the math is not obvious to me that owning a fleet of robotaxis will be a lucrative business to be in anytime soon, even if you are the only robotaxi company in town.

Seems like they need to license this tech to have it payoff.
As evidenced by this article there are other things that can be improved upon, but those two are certainly solved to a large extent. Without DNSSEC.
My learned experience with mergers/acquisitions is that it is a genuine skill to pull them off correctly.

In YouTube's case it's more likely that they saved it, IIRC the bandwidth bills and legal threats were getting pretty existential around the time of the purchase. Inheriting those legal problems was a chance they took that could have sunk the entire company in a slightly dumber legal outcome for the status quo of the web, which was still very much in limbo at the time.

Being able to pull off being the only company to successfully do self-driving is a similarly masterful execution and I'm not sure how long it's going to take for competitors to catch up to them at this point. More likely they'll just be licensing any tech/patent use to competitors and taking a cut off of that too.

Google has screwed up plenty of projects but this isn't one of them. The upsides to human mobility are substantial and well worth the effort and I hope everyone involved is ultimately rewarded for it.
The difference is that you need an x86 license to produce a processor that uses the same instruction set. IIRC there are just three companies that are licensed - Intel, AMD and possibly VIA if they're still around. It's not just the implementation that's patented.

Whether or not RISC-V implementations become encumbered by patents, at least it is now possible for companies to make their own processors without having to create the entire ecosystem too.
Perhaps we can use fewer optical gates and serialize the use of gates, using pipelining at gate level.
This blog post dives into another mostly TTL logic Ethernet board from the Xerox Alto: https://www.righto.com/2017/11/fixing-ethernet-board-from-vi...

It has a nice high level diagram of what each group of TTL chips is doing too:

I recommend using RetroBar https://github.com/dremin/RetroBar

Its portable and gives your taskbar look of Windows 98 -> Vista.
I don't know, I know multiplatform binaries are truly important for some groups but in my entire career I've never actually needed that a single time on any project. Static linking isn't automatic but you can do it. People tend to always assume you can't? idk why though maybe it used to be a thing.

You don't have to roll your own everything. If you need a library especially something low level or very common like a db driver it'll probably exist. And the libraries that do exist are very solid in my experience. If you need a few libraries it's pretty good odds one will be missing though.
My understanding is that the information is public. Can you provide some links to support that?
> You either have absolute freedom of speech or none, in many ways.

I don't think there is such a thing as absolute freedom of speech. Speech always has some limitations, and that's never been controversial. Threats, blackmail, libel, discussing plans to commit a crime, those have always been illegal in some way.

But at the same time, Twitter/Musk banning people is also protected by the First Amendment. He is not the government, and the government can't compel him to allow or ban people on his platform.

Well, unless his platform is considered a utility or a monopoly. Then it becomes a different issue. And especially banning competitors could be anticompetitive behaviour.
I’m not trying to protect myself from Apple. Apple doesn’t have a reason to lie. I want to protect myself from the police. I trust Apple much more than I trust law enforcement. I found that it could remain secret for too long if Apple were forced to compromise its encryption.

Besides, they can afford better lawyers than Signal.
"that trump group" wasn't a group of people sharing moderate to medium rightist political discourse, it was a place that was banned for inciting violence, targeting harassment, doxxing, brigading the site, and vitriolic hate speech. If thats your idea of "moderate", then I'm not sure what you'd consider hard right.

Nevertheless, at exactly the same time as the_donald was banned, ChapoTrapHouse which was a left wing subreddit was banned for exactly the same reason.

> that makes the whole place a leftie fart smelling commune

Comments like this are why people don't take your arguments seriously. If you want to have an honest discussion about these topics, don't take it down to ad hominem attacks and cheap slurs.
1. A cyberattack, possibly by a state actor, causes enough damage and loss of life that this ceases to be something only wonks and nerds care about. The threat becomes real.

2. Farisa’s Crossing (Michael O. Church’s book) is released in September or October and is actually good enough to win awards.

3. Major recession. Housing market becomes dysfunctional and illiquid. This puts the Fed in a tough spot because the only way to solve housing market illiquidity is inflation (people get anchored to the nominal prices they paid, so inflation is the only way to get them to accept losing money instead of hoarding) but inflation is something most people despise, even when it’s the good kind.

4. An act of violence against a private equity fund occurs and draws public support. Jury nullification becomes a dinner table topic.

5. Black hat uses of large language models become enough of a problem that regulators get involved.

6. Donald Trump is proven culpable enough of criminal activity that it would be fatal to a normal political candidate. Not sure it will be for him.

7. Vladimir Putin’s health worsens. What happens here is hard to predict. The people around him, on one hand, will be frantically trying to prevent a desperate old man from destroying the world. But they will also be jockeying for their own individual positions, which makes things unpredictable. They might be more dangerous than Putin, who is evil but is not stupid or irrational.

8. Elon Musk. I wish there was a verb. There isn’t. I would prefer the sentence be “Elon Musk retires to get to know his family.” But it won’t be. Just, Elon Musk.
'The other option I guess is to just post and let it be discovered, but would that ever happen organically in today's internet?'

The reason a lot of blogs don't surface much via organic search is because they don't focus on one single topic. It's hard to be an authority on random thoughts or ramblings unless you are already well known.

Start with a niche and then if/when you gain traction you can expand into other areas.
Yes, it's mostly a thing that continues just because it gets under his skin.
Musk does, he cares enough that he staged a false flag. If he has cars licensed to him then his terrible opsec endangered his family and waned him bad publicity. Where was his private security. He loled at Yoel Roth being n danger, this is all in light of that.
The precedent is purely that the AI itself won’t be awarded the copyright.

The claimant here explicitly denied being involved in authoring the piece, and the copyright office took that at face value.

Anyone who actually wanted copyright would claim to be the author.
entertaining to read that, but sheds zero light on the real conflicts at the time
I went to Windows 11 on my laptop and hate it. Windows 10 will stay on my desktop for as long as possible.

That said, there is one thing that really bothers me. They only added support for the 6GHz Wi-Fi protocol in 11 (as part of WiFi 6e). So I can't use the 6 GHz channel on my desktop. It's really annoying.
Information being public isn’t enough to make it easy to act on.

To use an extreme example. The US government as a whole had plenty of information to stop 9/11, but the US government isn’t a singular hyper intelligent thing that can automatically correlate any information it receives with any other piece of information it receives. It’s limited by being made up of people and sharing information isn’t free.

Similarly a firehouse of 99.999% junk information isn’t particularly useful for police action. This is why the massive array of cameras in say London does a poor job of preventing crimes and 4chan posts are’t useful for preventing attacks.
If it’s like HN or Reddit then speed of burying is more important than volume. A few downvotes early on can easily bury dissenting comments / posts or change the narrative significantly.
> But, setting up a private CA is no easy feat

The amount of hours I've seen companies spend trying to get private CAs to work with all their dev tools (like artifact repositories, etc.) often outweighs the benefits.

If you have a highly centralized process for setting up developers machines it can work, but you will probably dramatically underestimate how much time and troubleshooting will be involved.
LIDAR makes implementing FSD so much simpler. And you can still harvest data so you can use it as a stepping stone for video-only based FSD.
Got a citation for those claims?

As far as I’m aware, journalists were only referencing ElonJet, which, as OP established, is only re-publishing already public information.

Despite this, even if you want to somehow argue that it’s against the rules, I reject that claim as well. Twitter’s policies[1] explicitly allow “location information related to commercial property or places of business, where this information is publicly available,” and all of “Elon’s” jets are owned by commercial entities.

Edit: citations showing “his” jets are owned by an LLC:

I also had a magical autonomous ride when I visited Phoenix a couple years ago.

I asked a friend who works at waymo why it's taking forever to build up a critical mass of vehicles to get the wait times down to a more reasonable level.

He said the issue was cost. I guess all those sensors are actually more expensive than the cost of a human driver at this point?
So Elon just made Twitter a pay-to-win game :(
Launch HN: Slauth.io (YC S22) – IAM Policy Auto-Generation
Hey HN, we are Daniel and Tal, Co-founders of Slauth.io (https://www.slauth.io). Slauth auto-generates IAM policies in order to save engineering time and make your policies more secure.

If you're an engineer, you probably know how tedious and error-prone it can be to manually write IAM policies. We surveyed over 70 engineers and found out that a majority are using or have used wildcards (*) in order to quickly write IAM policies.

By using client-side monitoring or via a proxy, Slauth.io observes all of the API activity and generates a policy based on functionality and least privileges.

Once deployed in a remote environment, or run locally, you will need to run an end-to-end test using a wildcard policy. Slauth will observe the activity, apply its logic based on large amounts of behavioral patterns of the service you deploy, and create a high quality IAM policy.

The IAM policy will be presented through the Slauth Dashboard where it can be copy/pasted or as a pull-request into your Git repository ready to be reviewed. Integrations with IaC services such as Terraform are also available.

Our objective is to automate manual error-prone IAM policy writing in order to increase engineering velocity, reduce friction and harden security.

Would love your feedback on the value proposition and if you would use the AWS SDK or Slauth proxy for onboarding.

Feel free to also sign up for Beta usage! https://www.slauth.io
Why can’t AI do that, too?

I highly doubt whatevee people say “the end game” is for a profession given the progress of technology. That’s like talking about the endgame for horse trainers, but then we got cars and then self-driving cars. Now that computers are around, self-managing everything is around the corner.

But what people are really NOT getting is that you can swarm these AIs and take over any community or network gradually, amassing their karma points and social capital. And deploy it in any way you wish, including flooding these network with fake news. And including complex strategies to sabotage any opposition (by gradually and unrelentingly getting them embroiled in multiple scandals and arguments online and getting own followers to abandon them out of frustration).

I see a future where various groups deploy AI swarms and in about 5-10 years take over their respective networks. Public networks will be totally unreliable as a source of any “truth”, but people won’t realize that.

You think that you’re safe in more exclusive networks and that moderators like @dang will save you on here, but the reality is that amassing karma and upvotes is a measurable metric. As long as sites allow anyone to create an account, these “sybil attacks” can now be enhanced. Think content farms tricking Google into ranking them highly. But automated and super organized together.

I predict that social networks will PREFER bots, just as we now prefer Google Maps over human directions, or Googling instead of asking our human parents and teachers.

They will come in sheep’s clothing and can not just impersonate anyone’s style but also can switch it up easily to amass karma points. A regular person can keep some things in memory, but the bots will remember everything, the entire history of all their adversaries’ conversations.
Keeping Wifi on allows “find my” to work more accurately, which many people value. Third party apps such as YouTube have an additional permission to be able to look at the local network.
Yes, they use your card to verify you are actually living in the country, and not just spoofing. You either have to give them your card or you simply make another google account.
I use apps pretty extensively, and when making purchases I usually prefer to buy things that have an associated app because it's only a few bucks more expensive.

My big complaint with android as a user(From a dev perspective the SAF is maddening) is that you can't have apps open in the background ready to go like you can on a desktop, Android kills them at the first opportunity if they're not tiny, and it causes problems for taking notes.

Other than that stuff generally works well.

I've only taken brief looks at the less common more indie type apps, and the level of polish and functionality is definitely way lower than open source on the Desktop(Probably because all the hoops you have to jump through that make things reliable also drive away anyone not getting paid), but they mostly work.

And there is SyncThing and BitWarden, so it's not like FOSS is totally impossible.
I think it's more than fair for him to publish the information... that said, it's also okay for Elon to ban doing such things on Twitter.

It comes down to ease of access, motivation and intent... In the end, Elon doesn't want third parties to disclose the location details of other people. I'm not sure if this would include posting a selfie at a disclosed location with a celebrity in the background.

In the end, I think the message is pretty clear, "don't f*ck with Elon's family."
I had a funny thing producing a focal length of about 7mm the other day. I had a vitrectomy where they take out the middle bit of your eye and put in a gas bubble instead which gradually dissolves and is replaced by liquid. At one point when lying on my back so with the bubble against the lens it did that. You get some odd effects!
> to secretly shut down speech the government doesn't like

Given that there were several press reports about this at the time it happened, how was it secret?
Black hat uses of LLMs are what scare me. I would get more specific, but there are people here who would actually do some of these things, so I won’t.
Here's a 2000 line web server I wrote in C (with a focus on readability) which runs https://ipv4.games/ You can read the code at https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan/blob/master/net/turfwar... This web server runs on a single VM. It was handling about 300 write requests per second earlier today. You can monitor its metrics here: https://ipv4.games/statusz It uses *NSYNC as its multi-threaded locking primitives, which was designed by the guy who created Google's lock server. This service is frequently targeted by hackers so you can learn a lot about things like DDOS protection by reading the source.
Isn't the human brain a probabilistic trick as well?
Complex games used to be delivered on multiple floppy disks, later multiple CDs. I don't see the capacity of a single Blu-ray disc being a limiting factor.
This kind of criticism gets tiresome. Someone has to own these companies and pay the journalists. If they're private, then they're "owned" and suspect. If they're publicly traded, then they're beholden to "Wall Street". If they're publicly funded, they're "propaganda".

Please criticize the work, not the incentives[1]. In this case it seems like a pretty darn good piece of public interest journalism. Do you disagree?

[1] Example: Elon Musk banning journalists out of personal pique is a terrible thing, not because "Billionaires shouldn't own Twitter" (even though many people believe that to be true) but because censorship, especially censorship of inconvenient journalism, is evil.
Seems like fair weather tech at best at the moment. I just can't see these things working in a place like a Canadian winter without a few generational improvements. It starts with the basics, like knowing you have to start slowing down 3 blocks before the intersection if you don't want to slide through it, but also involves knowing how the driving culture changes during a storm.

We can install like IR reflectors in the road so that they know where the lines are under the snow, but people don't know where the lines are, and so during a heavy snow day the lanes change and take on people's best guess and it becomes the new default choice as more people take the new paths.

As is often repeated the most dangerous thing to be on the road is unpredictable, and I don't know if the self driving cars would have the ability to see the changes in lane positions and adjust, or if they'd be trying to follow the old lanes in a crowd of cars making their best guesses to make it home. Seems one of those "it won't work well until the vast majority of the cars are automated" type deals.
> As a domain admin, you simply get DNSSEC for free if your registrar supports it.

How is a registrar holding your keys in any aspect better than WebPKI right now?

> If you are instead running your own DNS server, you're probably big enough that you can afford spending some time on configuring DNSSEC.

And as the parent comment said, it's complicated and brittle, while offering little benefit. Plus you are still forced to trust your registrar, because it's doubtful you will go into the effort of interfacing with the TLD registry directly.
Either that or Tesla has some skeletons in the closet that Musk knows about that haven't made it to the public yet. When the CEO of a company starts selling very large blocks of stock that is always a time to watch out and this whole Twitter saga started as just that, a pretext to sell a pile of Tesla stock.
It feels like there's always an imminent threat of computers and technology replacing more human jobs, but it might wind up being harder than it looks for one reason or another.

I think in the past, technology mostly threatened to replace and eliminate jobs nobody really wanted, or merely assist people in their jobs to make them more effective. AI is really doing a number on us, though. I really like programming, and I have plenty of friends who really like drawing. It would be a shame if the main incentive to be good at those things in society were to disappear due to the job market being partially eaten, but it does seem like that's what is going to happen eventually. Sometimes I wonder if it's even worth fighting it, as it seems like it's just another inevitable mess that winds up the same either way because people with more money than I can fathom have a pretty good incentive to make it so.

Either way, driving seems somewhere down the middle. I think automating driving would be great, but I also assume plenty of truckers do enjoy the job, and would be lost without it.

It's good that this transition is taking a while. I don't think we're equipped to handle it.
If what you are describing turns out to be true in the long term, it would have to mean that there is something fundamentally different and harder about self-driving outside of cities.
3 whole energy for the low cost of 300 energies!
Musk seems to express "the ends justify the means". “My cause is important enought that I can use X, it is justified”, for arbitrary X.

Seeing how he bulldozes ahead made me reflect over other instances of this, also among my acquaintances. Some think their take own take on politics is so lucid and important for the world that they justify telling people to their face that they are deranged, a threat to the world ahead and so on.

Can we really justify this? It's not easy to deal with a polarized world, but these people seem to be the ones meeting violence with violence and so on, and it's not looking like it makes anything better more than to entrench the culture war and similar things.

For myself I can't justify behaving like this.
I believe the direct storage implementation on 11 is faster than 10, so gamers looking for every last FPS might switch.

I'm personally hoping steam/proton/anti-cheat etc improves so that I can dump the entire mess...
No you don’t. People are so afraid to acknowledge the existence of extremism and people plotting mass killings. If you didn’t have a place like 4chan people might think everything is fine, perfectly fine, in this corrupted world.
