Why bother with this drama? Just say "we don't want 3rd party apps anymore" or whatever.
It's not about what should be right. When the squeeze for survival comes, might makes right
MSVC can sometimes be convinced to emit tail jumps from a switch() if the cases are densely packed and there is an __assume(0) on the default. Unfortunately, it also tends to encode an offset table instead of a jump table on x64, which I have not found a way to suppress.
if reddit ever banned 3rd party apps/RES I would leave.

the official apps suck with dark patterns
From another commenter, it prompts the screenshot "owner" to refresh
shortly after the bigbang, when the universe was a nonzero amount of time the size of a potato, compared to its current size, how to reconcile that with 'it doesnt expand into anything'?
Some people say their current employer wants them for a bit longer time period than the usual two weeks.

Are you prepared if the bonus gets delayed by 2-4 weeks? or, you sure it's out of question?
Yes but people buying current gen Mac Pros probably value upgradability and want/need discrete GPUs. Just try to imagine how much would Apple charge for 256GB based on M1/M2 pricing.
That's an intriguing idea but limits you to strings for your internal representation. Every time you wanted to pull a number out of it you'd be reparsing it.

Also I assume you'd have to have some sort of binary portion bundled with it to hold the field offsets, no?
that's a great way to show off your use case with Plus Docs! This actually makes me want to check out and sign up for Plus more than the other show HN link.
If I were an advertiser (and I have in the past), I would look at the metrics of engagement for my ads to assess their efficacy, not talk to a representative. Either you're happy with the revenue lift or you're not.

To say that ad sales has to be a manual, high touch channel is simply wrong. Perhaps you have staff on hand for large accounts, but why would e-commerce drop shipping headphone company #7 need to talk to a human?
Honestly, it probably doesn't even need to be said due to how obvious it is.

If we (the "west") loses Japan, we've essentially waived our claims to South Korea as well. We'll have lost legitimacy and lost our word to protect (Taiwan) what is a epicenter of global technological development (semiconductors). Japan and South Korea (and to a lesser, but significant extent, AUS&NZ) will look at the west's inability to protect Taiwan, and say "well, looks like we'd better buddy up to China, because they're the big dogs now". And that will be that.

We'd better fucking help Taiwan.
Isn't the described remedial procedure to take a radioactive substance that will burn out the nodules ?) That's not that expensive or invasive.

I understand something similar is done for Morbus Basedow / Grave's disease with the thyroid gland.
I was a happy Stadia user too, I think they should have marketed it more to casual audiences, it's untapped, plenty of people would love to play the odd game but don't as they don't have hardware etc.

Partly as the service had games like Monopoly and Uno on it, lots of casual party games, that is all it needed. Bad marketing from Google here, they should have pivoted to that market once they lost the toxic gaming community.
Into space of course. It's spaces all the way out.
Thank you! We tested several ways of sending but the highest response rates and the most candid data came back via SMS.

On response rates, it's around 20% more responses via SMS than email or chat apps. This is the same for marketing delivered via SMS - the percentage is lower but compared to email, etc. it's relatively high.

In terms of the data quality - we think it's because SMS is not a "company owned" platform that could keep logs, etc. Maybe it feels safer for the end user so they're more honest.

Also, the interaction is fast and fun. We get responses initially via emoji and within the text comment you can hashtag and mention other staff. We're working on MMS support so people can send photos too. It's not globally supported but it works in the US at the moment.
Opposite experience here. I've had almost 0 porn spammers as opposed to at least weekly before.
But how is that relevant? Pulling the rug under third party apps is probably a bad move from Twitter, but everything seems to indicate that it was intentional and not just a breakage/outage caused by a shortage of staff.
Is it the staff of the Teams team? Worst product ever. One can't even as a logged in user click on search results within the app without going into login hell.
This is cool would like a mechanical watch that does this
I’ve been doing Rails development for 10 years now and I just don’t think it’s possible to safely update anything in Ruby. Our app has 20,000 rspec unit tests and 5,000 cypress browser automation tests and basically every ruby patch version creates breakages that somehow slip through all of that despite nothing being mentioned in the changelogs.
I do know what you mean, of course. I even say so in my second sentence.

I don't know data on how the experience of small businesses are, with respect to political parties. Do worker protections become beneficial to small business employers and employees? Often the discussions center around large employers and exploitation of workers, and protection (by Democrats) of those workers and (by Republicans) of employers.
The meaning of "to lose" obviously changes depending on the context. You can't apply the meaning it has when talking about friendship whn you're talking about geopolitics. I'd expect a bit more of literary finesse from a writer on a website called "The Scholar's Stage".
Based on the Chrome extension's minified source code (via https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/plus/bnebanooamokk...), with files like runReloadCurrentSnapshot.js, it seems that Plus's background worker is loading pages (possibly as pop-unders) in your browser as you use it, using whatever your current cookies & localStorage credentials happen to be.

What this means is that (whether now, or with an update that could easily slip the notice of Chrome Web Store auditors) Plus could direct your browser to take these actions on a domain where you had never explicitly told it to take a screenshot, using not only the credentials from when you installed Plus but whatever credentials exist on an ongoing basis.

Of course, this is also true of any extension that you grant permission to access all websites. But Plus has already shipped the code to access the DOM of arbitrary tabs already loaded in everyone's browser, and communicate that information to the cloud, without an auditable open-source core. I have a lot of trust, for instance, that if uBlock Origin were to start sending my data to the cloud, someone would post about it on HN. An attacker with the ability to send updates to the Chrome Web Store as Plus, and operate Plus servers as command-and-control servers, could do this a lot more subtly, and that's definitely a yellow flag.
My thesis is that Tesla is progressing very well on FSD. Watching the progress happen is as easy as watching some videos on YouTube. It's really cool watching it progress, warts and all. Reminds me of how Google's language translation stuff progressed. They're crowdsourcing the work of teaching computers how to drive: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2q96i2vf8oA

I definitely think that competing companies will catch up, but that it will take them around 5-15 years to do it. (It took Microsoft about a decade to come up with a real competitor to the original Macintosh, for example.) That's an eternity in business, so Tesla will accrue huge gains financially over that period and this first-mover advantage will give them a huge lead with the Tesla Bot.
Couldn’t think of anything at all from the events of this or even the last century?
No, models predict that an extremely short amount of time elapsed before this. Like orders of magnitude less than 1 second. However, we know our models are not perfectly accurate, so it is possible there is something else very weird going on.
I'm pretty sure breaking 3rd party clients was intentional.

Twitter had tightened the reigns on them years ago because it just cost them money to keep them alive. It makes sense that would be first on the chopping block when they're looking for cost-saving measures, and I figured it was inevitable regardless of the Elon takeover.

I have a feeling it's coming for reddit too. That one I dread cause their official app is horrible.
As this gets more popular, I guess net metering will be offered less and less. But you should still get some credit for supplying electricity to the grid.
I can't help but worry that Taiwan is going to end up being the same in our day and age as Serbia did in 1914.
The thing is that you don't need to imagine extra dimensions. Th surface of a sphere remains 2-dimensional in this metaphor, even if the actual sphere is 3-dimensional. The Universe is not stretched on anything though, and whatever number of dimesion it exhibits, the stretching relies on them only.
So far every new feature has been a previously-developed canceled feature. Even Twitter Blue was an existing feature repurposed, and it took two tries to release.
This is kind of a silly comment. Of course the US interest in Taiwan has to do with geopolitical interest rather than a moral standing.

That doesn't stop me (or anyone else) from believing that the Taiwanese should be entitled to self-determination. Or the Hawaiians, Indigenous peoples, or Puerto Ricans for that matter. If support for that aim happens to come from the US then that's fine by me. Moral consistency from a national government is not something I require or expect.
Manufacturing battery cells is very energy intensive, so I’m guessing that the recent sky-high UK energy prices spooked their investors and made UK battery manufacturing look unviable.

Something like NorthVolt, on the other hand, works because they have access to reliable low-cost hydro in Northern Sweden.
I'm talking about the $100+ Million advertisers, not small ones like you.

Disney is most interested in making sure that Mickey Mouse / Winnie the Pooh / Zootopia is not accidentally shown next to furry porn. Southwest doesn't want its ads shown next to airplane disasters. Kellogs doesn't want "Itsssss GREAT" being shown next to the Ukrainian War.

As I said before: you can't predict the "X is being shown next to Y, please stop that" problem. Its impossible to predict X, its impossible to predict Y. You just gotta have email lines with these big companies and promptly issue your programmers / machine learning / data scientists the new algorithms to keep advertisers happy.

-------

Twitter is 100% the grounds where furry porn, Airplane Disasters, and Ukrainian War disasters are constantly being discussed and shared. Advertisers want protection of their brand, despite the online discourse.
The evidence strongly indicates a flat, infinite, isomorphic universe. You are correct of course that we do not and cannot know, but anything else would require extraordinary evidence to the contrary.
> will still likely lose against the US military in any conflict.

The US couldn't beat Vietnam or Afghanistan.
Oh, thanks for the correction, I knew I was forgetting someone. Yea, those 2 (same car I believe, just rebadged?) are supposed to be pretty awesome. And at low $40k entry level they're maybe not priced cheap, but cheap-ish in the EV world, especially for vehicles with 800v systems!

What does a Lucid get you over these? 1,000HP. Does anyone really need that? So why pay 4x the price?
I'm confused. Are you saying it's hard to believe my question is serious?
Companies that think that way wouldn’t get to the point of having that kind of cash.

Furthermore, efficiency only increases in importance as companies grow.
Why not?

Can we apply the same logic for China's influence in Africa, for example? Does geographic location matter more than, say, trade volume? Given that there isn't anything between the US and China (or Taiwan) except the ocean does that not give credence to the US being a partner in that area since it's a Pacific nation?

If we're talking about the west, US, Japan, South Korea are either close or exceed Taiwan's trade with China, and that only includes western nations that are part of the Pacific Ocean directly (and doesn't include Canada, Australia, or New Zealand either).
Thank you! The best way to understand it is really just to see it in action :)
I think this bill hurting the image of the federal government was its intended effect.
> and couldn't play the games without being within a few dozen miles of a Google datacenter (an exaggeration, but I'm certainly not close enough to play anything with a reflex check, and I'm on fiber in the lower 50 states).

Counterexample: I was happily playing Destiny (a "twitchy" FPS) on an iPad in AirBnBs by Lake Tahoe or in Washington. I was really impressed.

In contrast, one of my friends who migrated to Geforce Now has been complaining about much worse latency, graphical and audio glitches. I assume Google's excellent ISP peering helped Stadia.
Cost to you, or combined cost for you / insurer ? Honest question.
Congrats to the team! Called this in November. Discord probably bought for the social graph of verified teens. https://twitter.com/lostinthegc/status/1594108696950607872
Nice to see DeepL pushing forward. Personally rooting for them given how much I’ve got from their tools up to now.
Taiwan has been independent in fact for a long time. Changning the status quo seems to require more justification. If large majorities of Taiwanese want to join China than that is their prerogative.
You should. I have no idea to what you're referring.
The analogy that's usually used to help people wrap their heads around this is to think of the 3D universe as the curved 2D surface a balloon. As the balloon expands, every point becomes farther away than every other point. A bug walking on the surface of the balloon could go anywhere on the balloon and never hit an edge. That makes sense.

But also in this analogy if the bug travels long enough in what to it seems a straight line, it will wind up back where it started. Does this hold true for the universe as well?

Let's say the universe stopped expanding tomorrow, and didn't shrink. If someone got in a spaceship and traveled in (what seems to them) a straight line for long enough, would they wind up back where they started?

If not, how can the universe have no edge? How can a you always see another galaxy straight ahead, in a universe with a finite number of galaxies? The universe doesn't just create new galaxies. You have to start recycling galaxies at some point.
All accrued vacation balance got paid out when Microsoft made the switch.
Not that I've found. If you have time, let me know what you're thinking and happy to see if we can help.
thanks for this super interesting response, because i read a ton and had not seen that! (i knew of oncolytic virology though)
I would add the connection to GR. In a Newtonian world, there would be nowhere for matter to expand into, and our intuition would be correct. But in General Relativity, space itself can grow or shrink like a fluid.
It includes both. But since EV manufacturing capacity is ramping up so fast, the amount of battery capacity in cars is going to be a lot larger than the amount in EoL car batteries for a while.
Users typically agree to send their data to Google.

With NSO and Pegasus the purchaser agrees, but the intended victim (the one being exploited) never agreed to send their data to whomever purchased Pegasus from NSO or the NSO.

So it doesn't really matter if NSO has less data than Google. It matters _HOW_ the NSO Group/ customer got the data which 99.9% is against the wishes of the victim.
> We can far outdo human capabilities on cheap, consumer level hardware, not to speak of what we can do on the high end.

We can, but we don't.

Streaming is still crap quality, majority of music devices are still crap quality, DAB+ radio is still crap quality.
So there's infinite mass? I thought the Big Bang implied a finite mass. Or is the Big Bang not a thing anymore?
Drawing estimation, outside vs inside temp + heating energy monitoring, heat camera pictures and some kind of other measurements could probably create a reasonable certificate that would be reassuring to house buyers. Or even if the owners are the same but there was some significant renovation being done, one could do that to see if the renovation was done properly.
It is definitely on my "I'll get to it one day" list.
Looking forward to the next stage where your in-person conversations will be monitored and analyzed the same way...
Yes and it is an interesting view of how humans interact. Bot was told to be friendly and polite. When humans are instructed to do so, and would be able to keep the promise, then when somebody would tell them 2+2=5 they could also say maybe I'm wrong, sorry about misleading you that 2+2=4, perhaps I'm missing some information etc.

One of the factors seems to be that in cultures I know it is usually not polite to just say "you are wrong". HN or good coders teams are niches where this does not apply, which great.

Regardless, you can instruct it to be a teacher instead or whatever, there is still much space for improvement without any breakthrough. I'm still in awe just how powerful it is after only consuming text, never seeing any picture, 3d world, physics etc.
These "current AI systems" that you're talking about were presumably specifically trained by "woke" Silicon Valley employees to reflect their opinions about what the AI should answer [1], which are hardly representative of the general population's opinions.

> If conservatives want a fascist chatbot they can train their own off of 8chan, Stormfront, Parlor, etc...

I don't think conservatives want a fascist chatbot. They just don't want a biased "woke" one either.

> "human AI trainers provided conversations in which they played both sides—the user and an AI assistant."

> "had AI trainers rank them. "

They mark all of my Google Calendar invitations as spam. Frustrating…
Sure, and China used to be a sclerotic caste-based bureaucracy ruled by a hereditary elite. Things change. Taiwan isn't ruled by Chiang Kai-shek anymore; it's a sovereign, democratic society with a flourishing economy and a sense of identity distinctive from that of mainland China.
I did the math on this design a number of years ago. For 8 registers you're looking at a VM that requires a few MB just for the bare instructions, given all the permutations required.
> And by the launch of the phone that was fixed... I fail to see how that's the same thing.

I mean... they haven't launched Full Self Driving. You can (for money) get a beta that requires you to remain in control of the car and often makes mistakes. But the beta does most of the stuff shown in the video.
Go ahead, put the labels on. Still won't stop me.
How do the Catalonians feel about being part of Spain, or the russophone Ukrainians about being part of Ukraine? Not great. Do you care? If the answer is no, then what you are concerned about is not Taiwanese independence.
For one, in many many companies layoffs start in HR/hiring themselves. If MS needed to hire a ton of people in 2020-2022 it’s not at all a sign of incompetence if they hired a lot of recruiters/other HR folks in that time to handle it, and then spin it down when they aren’t as busy hiring.

The same goes for marketing. If you are going to reduce your marketing spend you don’t need as many FTEs to work on it.

For engineering, MS is a lot more old school than some other tech companies. Internal transfers basically require re-interviewing, and a lot of people don’t have many transferable skills. MS could be better off (and employees even better off) if they directly laid off e.g. engineers working on Windows LTS rather than trying to find them roles in Bing.

Not saying layoffs are ever good, and the details of this one remain to be seen, but I don’t think a 5% layoff signals incompetence
this should really be the article link instead of that proprietary writeup by a company taking advantage of OSS

edit: just because someone puts up an "easy" ""free"" service, does not mean they are kind. GitHub is not your friend for git issues. I woul dhope this site would support true FOSS
They definitely will if China (both Chinas) have anything to say about it.
New Mexico can be a challenging place to live, Los Alamos even moreso. Like someone else mentioned: married with kids? Great place, but even then Los Alamos is isolated, it’s a 45 minute drive to Santa Fe which itself is not huge. For the national labs you will also need to maintain a clearance, and the DOE is somewhat regressive in its policies around past drug use and mental health treatment.

There is very little in the way of night life. There are activities but this is a place where people live their whole lives and you often have to know someone to get involved. There is a paucity of health services. The airport is small and has had its routes reduced dramatically over the last 15 years. Los Alamos real estate is dated and expensive.

On the other hand the state is beautiful and there are endless outdoor activities.
China has been promising reunification with Taiwan since ever. They've made it into an eternal political issue for the CCP's own benefit. It's anyone guess as to whether they will ever try to change or act on that.
What gets me is how pivotal information is. Back in the days your reality was defined by a few, and as a social species.. we follow suit. Today it's not.. China tries to censor reality but even they fail to an extent.
Can you explain this as if I were a programmer who doesn't know what that looks like?
What I like, the bill proposes both a solution to unproductivity (back to office), while also seeking to study the loss of productivity from remote work. A lot of "we're fixing it and then after the fact we'll tell you how expensive this was". Just overall seems mean spirited.

I wouldn't mind seeing the study be done thpugh. WFH is a difficult thing to measure. Would be a case of having to pay attention who is "paying" for that study to be done. Overall the great WFH experiment is interesting to say the least.
Is taxes paying for education Ponzi scheme as well?

If not, why is current workers paying future workers (now kids) education different from current workers paying past workers (now retirees) pensions?
Users have been reporting issues with missing reply notifications and missing replies for a while. It's not obvious if you're not paying close attention, so I think most people won't really notice. Try counting the number of replies versus the number of replies shown. It doesn't appear to be a spam-filter issue either as those replies are benign and still exist if you navigate to them via a profile.

Here's an example I just pulled up that's the second thread on my feed: https://twitter.com/LordCarsonEsq/status/1615134592222257155

There are six replies here. If you refresh enough, you can see a different subset of two replies, so that's probably not a spam-filter.
It depends. Most people commuting to the office aren't living in a high-density downtown, anyways - they are trading a suburban home in the outskirts of the metro for a suburban home further out in the metro. The carbon footprint of the home is similar, the carbon footprint of their car will probably go down, as they only need to drive to the store/school/for social visits, as opposed to that, plus to work.
Advertising revenue fell because of Elon's new "extreme right wing beyond conspiracy theories" stance. It is not because of the sales staff not responding to emails.
