You only get the money if you are likely to be a criminal. Since it is based on 'AI', that would mean people from poor and crime prone areas because pattern-matching. So you weren't already in that situation, then you'd have to figure out how to make your family very poor and move to a poor crime prone area. That's alot of friction for most to bother with. If everyone in that area qualifies and get the money, over time it likely that crime would decrease and economic activity would increase, school funding improves, and so on and so and eventually this place will no longer be seen by the AI to produce criminals.

You’re summarizing the problem with trusts in capitalism here in your argument. Capitalism works to generate innovation and wealth because there’s competitive forces driving that. No one can compete with gmail and YouTube because they are being subsidized by another business segment. If you get rid of that competition it leads to stagnation
Happily using it for several months now after getting frustrated with calendly's UX.
Maybe Google can keep the ads and divest the products? It's a great hypothetical question you ask that I'd love to see more discussion of.
Interesting that you want stats. In the interest of science - would you be willing to talk to actual prostitutes from down the street to those on social media and platforms like only fans - to collect the data yourself. Thats within your means to do is it not?

If you are genuinely interested in the well being of prostitutes that is.

> Right, they just use force, fraud, and coercion as they recruit, transport, and provide their victims as prostitutes. Totally different...

It is different.

My point is trafficking is bigger than prostitution.

I dont think most people have issues with corperations in principle. It is a few particular companies people want to avoid.

Hosting is commoditized; if your host becomes a problem you can migrate. This isn't as easy with Google.
I'd encourage hosting out of your home if possible: For an upfront cost of maybe an Intel NUC or equivalent, you get capacity that's dirt cheap. I run Sandstorm and let Cloudflare's cache handle the brunt of any of the public websites I have so that doesn't hit my house.

I don't have a ton of concerns about publicly-accessible Sandstorm, but if you're using something else, either Cloudflare Tunnel or Tailscale are relatively good options to hide your home connection and secure your access to your server from the public.

I'm not super hot on Nextcloud as a product, I tested it and found it slow and janky. It's exceedingly popular, but there's a lot of better apps out there if you run something that can spin up some containers.
This is not true . The SSDs on this are not soldiered but are in distinct chips that can be removed but none of them have a discrete controller on them instead the controller is on the SoC itself. Basically they are NAND modules not full SSDs at all.
What's "deeply disturbing" about that? I just meant that cognitively there isn't much going on yet.

Soon? As a member of the general public I got opted into the Cruise beta. Took a ride from point A to point B. It had to be within a small service zone, and I have no idea how much mapping was needed to accomplish this, and thus have no idea how long it'll take for them to expand the service area, but it works! It cost $12 and I hailed it via the Cruise app. I dunno, I suppose GM could just fire the whole team and lose the code on a USB stick and just give up, but that hardly seems likely.
Its probably more iops effecting performance than transfer speed, imagine going from a 4 lane highway to a 2 lane, of course reality is a bit more nuanced.
For what it's worth, I Googled "Define: capitalism" and when I saw:

> an economic and political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit.

I synthesized this to what I wrote above. If you disagree that's fine, but I think "for profit" is a critical aspect of capitalism, and while it's arguably true that HN provides YC with "a profit" it's an intangible and indirect one, which to me is not "straightforwardly capitalistic".
For sure. Pull a dbt and get everybody hooked on your tool, then slap a SaaS platform ecosystem to the farthest right and watch the revenue flow.

This kind of "Breaking" news is creating drama where there isn't one.

The 'slower' SSD is still pumping out gigabytes of data per second. Gigabytes!

The real drama is that they focus on the wrong metric: they should focus on random IOPs and latency performance, throughput above certain thresholds is meaningless.

I repeat, nobody is going to notice ever.

Any strong declarative statements require justification, period, whether that is an assertion of existence or non-existence.

How anyone can look at the progress in machine learning in audio, video and written expression, and not think "we're on the right track" is honestly beyond me. You can start here:

I've heard reports that recruiters might spend all of 15 to 30 seconds per resume during a screening exercise. Never mind not having technical expertise to ask technical probing questions, sifting through the top of the funnel is more of an exercise in coping w/ high volumes of resumes than it is about validating depth of expertise at the bottom of the interview funnel.

IMHO, complaining about the status quo is easy and giving armchair hot takes about circumstances one does not understand is also easy. If one wants to play the smart game, there are some facts that can leverage to one's advantages:

1) job postings being above the fold vs long tail is a thing. There are tons of companies/roles you will never hear about from by perusing linkedin search.

2) following from that, interview criteria often needs to be adjusted based on various factors and plenty of companies have to make more streamlined funnels in order to have a fighting change of capturing any talent at all.

3) even for high visibility/demand companies, recruiters have incentives to think outside the box to find truly valuable talent, because these people are not even in the market for a new job, let alone willing to put up w/ bullshit. The catch that many people miss is that just accruing a high number of years of experience doesn't necessarily translate to being valuable, especially on the fast changing world of tech.
Consider the growing list of CEO who have "taken full responsibility" for layoffs without taking on any of the downside. Even on a symbolic level this is the right thing to do, but practically speaking it signals some sense of skin in the game which is sadly lacking from CEO's who let go of staff without acknowledging that it was a failure of their management in any material terms.
Yeah, fair, it was very much Of Its Time (and I'd forgotten some of this; haven't read it in a long time...). That sort of thing can be adapted out easily enough, in general, though; most old sci-fi is going to have some of it. Removing the polyamory entirely would be more difficult, but _that_ probably isn't necessary.
I feel like they are using open source as a marketing and growth channel. Even if you self-host it, there's no way to self-host the API. You have to pay to use it. So you're just self-hosting the UI. They can change the API at any time or kick you off it. Also the AGPL is a very restrictive license.
The parent has since updated their post with updated details that I wasn't previously aware-of - I thought they were referring to a news story from 2012 when Apple first introduced clearing of client-side-cookies (i.e. cookies set by JavaScript, not cookies in general) after inactivity but was commonly misinterpreted as Apple saying they'd just delete all cookies after a week willy-nilly.

However I note that contrary the parent-poster's implication that Apple is using tricks like these to steer users towards native apps, the same linked article talks about how pinned web-apps (i.e. PWAs) _don't_ have their local content deleted after inactivity, which contradicts the claim that Apple is using this in particular to sabotage PWAs:

> That is the case in Safari. Web applications added to the home screen are not part of Safari and thus have their own counter of days of use. Their days of use will match actual use of the web application which resets the timer. We do not expect the first-party in such a web application to have its website data deleted.
>
> If your web application does experience website data deletion, please let us know since we would consider it a serious bug. It is not the intention of Intelligent Tracking Prevention to delete website data for first parties in web applications.

But I do agree that Apple very likely has internal orders from the top-down to de-prioritise PWAs because Apple definitely wants to see users (and devs) go native (or least via the App Store) instead of being PWAs - but I don't believe it goes as far as _actively_ sabotaging PWAs (i.e. just merely "passively-sabotaging", I guess?).
Anti-trust lawsuits don't require an absolute monopoly. It requires proving that a company behaved anti-competitively.

> The lawsuit said Google had “corrupted legitimate competition in the ad tech industry by engaging in a systematic campaign to seize control of the wide swath of high-tech tools used by publishers, advertisers and brokers to facilitate digital advertising.”
If you subscribe to this logic then doesn't it follow that you're trying to rehire only 50% "bad" programmers from a pool that is (again by your definition) newly comprised of individuals a previous company recently identified as 100% "bad"?

This not only assumes that you can identify bad workers, but that you can also identify some percent of "good workers that other companies identified as bad workers".

Shameless profit taking by executives and shareholders seems a lot more likely. Google and Microsoft providing PR cover for smaller companies to do it under the radar.
I'm unfamiliar with the term "jargon". Would you mind not gatekeeping this knowledge? /s

At some point, people have to assume a certain level of knowledge. And as you implied with your article, there's nothing stops someone from Googling jargon for more context. Others have pointed this out, but the Wine devs have talked extensively in other materials about these concepts. This is a REALLY good article about how Wine works with kernel modules end-to-end: https://wiki.winehq.org/Wine_Developer%27s_Guide/Kernel_modu...

And if THAT doesn't make sense, keep adding to the stack with more web searches and videos.

I just don't know how else someone would expect to get into a topic like this. Plus, these are _release notes_, not learning materials.
Yeah, that's an important point. Anyone who doesn't like this can write to Sundar and he will probably pay no attention, which is a bit less attention than he pays to TCI, but not much.
The only entropy that has is:

1) the choice of quote. Say that's in the top ten quotes ever, so something like 3 or so bits of entropy.

2) the modifications and additions to the quote. Really depends what the scheme is, but few bits for which words are capitalized (~4), few bits for where the hyphen is (~3), few bits for how many bangs (~4), and a bunch of bits for which number goes on the end, (~30ish). Some bits to account for the scheme itself and its choices too, but I don't know how to put a number on that.

Do you see how little is actually coming from the quote? Your passphrase might as well just be "95!!!!78726653980" and if anything that's _easier_ to remember.

Compare against something like a diceware passphrase. _All_ of the entropy comes from the passphrase part, the part that's easy to remember and trivial to calculate how secure it is.

So a quote is bad because you can _make_ it secure, but you making it secure is just throwing crap at it until it's no longer functionally a quote in any real way. It's secure the same way a blank password is.
It wouldn't be very difficult for me to get my high school transcript if I wanted to.

But hypothesize that someone in their 30s now grew up in a country like South Africa, Zaire, or one of the Balkans. How exactly do you even prove you attended High School at this point? Much less get a transcript?
Yeah, how about if you lay off more than 1% of a publicly traded company, top level executive compensation must be 0 for the year.

Right now there's a misaligned incentive to perform layoffs in order to appease investors (including those in the boardroom) and pump the stock price even if the company is doing well.
It's not entitled at all. How much of the world literally runs on technology developed by tech workers?

From being able to call your family from anywhere in the world to the most critical systems, tech workers are the reason that quality of life is so much better today than it was, say, pre-internet.

The affordances provided by the smartphone alone are an example of this. How is this not obvious proof that tech workers have fundamentally changed the world and improved QoL?
> No such right seems to exist, in my view

Unfortunately, it doesn't matter whether or not we believe it to exist. If given the choice between crime and starvation, people will choose crime. One can believe in the inviolability of personal property all they want; they'll change their tune when hunger sets in.

> That meal requires the labor of another, and there is no human right in my viewpoint that causes the enslavement of someone else.

Sure. But nature is not so kind. You have food, and someone is coming for it. Your option is to either kill them or give it to them. If you would die without that food, then the moral choice is obvious. If you have so much food that it would be physically impossible for you to notice the loss of any of it, then the alternative is true.

Also in a subsequent interview with the Google engineer [1], it comes out that the sentience claim was a bit of an attention grab, but with the reasonable purpose of airing the topic of AI ethics, and how machine learning is running way ahead of our thinking on its consequences.

The fact that a "dumb", generative model that is simply predicting the next token when given a prompt can talk so well, perform complex tasks and interact with humans in such a convincing manner is pretty fascinating.

There is obviously more to human intelligence than text based conversation but it is pretty humbling that such an aspect of ourselves can be replicated and be so convincing at such an early stage and perform better than some humans even when it makes stuff up: toddlers can't talk, kids are smarter but don't have the technical knowledge, most adults only have a few specific areas of expertise, etc.

Paypal’s major convenience is instant payment integrated into the checkout process without having to give your bank credentials (full access to your bank account) to a third party like Klarna. PayPal has the largest market share in Germany besides bank transfer after invoice (both roughly 30% market share), meaning it has the largest market share for instant payments.
Instant subscribe. I loved the interface for Tweetbot before Musk rudely killed it. Using Ivory feels like coming home. It makes me want to use Mastodon even more.
To recover in normal Smalltalk, you revert to a known good image, and then roll forward changes from the Changes file, ideally not executing that last bit that killed it in the first place.

I would think this would be challenging a world where you have a single, very large, persistent image (at least as naively presented as I have). You have no "known good" image to revert to.

For this use case, there is no "file system". Just the living image -- and it's big, ostensibly larger than RAM.

So, rather, you'd want something like the write-ahead log in databases, but one that you can roll back through a primitive restart process to a known good point.

This is why I mentioned CouchDB which versions all of its page writes making recovery from catastrophe possible (at a not small cost of garbage collection).

And, I appreciate the difficulty. Imagine simply having a thread tracking a real time clock. Every second a page gets persisted to the disk...tic tic tic. 86000 pages a day, just "sitting idle".

Or does it? Maybe pages never get persisted to disk until snapshot or swapped out. (And since you have stupid amounts of memory, swapping is rare).

Anyway, just musing.

This would definitely be the ideal solution, and it is certainly how the Internet was intended to be used, but a lot of residential ISPs either frown on hosting services on a residential link, or outright forbid it. Plus, CGNAT is more or less inevitable at this point, might as well embrace it.

Like you mention, services like tailscale and cloudflare tunnels are a way around it, but that introduces complexity and additional trust in another company.

The main reason I host my stuff on a VPS is because if an attacker finds their way in, I don't want them to have unrestricted access to my home network as well. (And I'm to lazy to set up a DMZ...)
Yes, commercial flight goes back before the 60s. And sure there were the flying boats and so on. But that era of commercial flight was very limited, it was expensive, there were very limited schedules and so on.

Today I can get a flight to pretty much anywhere in the world, with maybe a day's lead time, and perhaps 36 hours of travel. Anywhere. In the world.

So, I think we can say air travel is no longer in "startup" phase. It is heavily regulated and very organised. (there are still startups in aviation, but they need a hook different to flying-you-there)

In the same way computers existed before 1960,and PCs were available in the 70's,but arguably its not till Windows 95 that it goes "main stream", and its not until the iPhone/Android era that "everyone has a computing device".

So my point is that the era of commercial aviation aimed at the masses kicks off in the 60s,not that the 60s is the first instance of commercial aviation.
I think this is more a situation of a small group of individuals looking to fund their development of FOSS scheduling software by offering a hosted solution, rather than a company using open source to grow faster.

AFAICT, their goal isn't to monopolize a hosting solution for their software, just to provide a path of minimal resistance to normal people using their software, and fund their lives along the way.

I think your comment was valuable in that it suggested the work being done on antitrust by Lina Khan. For those who are interested, I would also recommend reading the excellent Matt Stoller on Substack [1] who does a weekly analysis on antitrust regulation, monopolies, and more.

"I switch jobs every 2 years for a raise" vs "my employer laid me off, this should be illegal".

You get the good with the bad. It's easier to get hired if it's easy to get fired.

I'd buy your point about power imbalance if it was about blue collar workers. But not for IT, where jobs are plentiful and compensation is through the roof.

Why not start a coop with likeminded folks and give yourselves the protection from being laid off?
Really wish I'd taken a route like that. First couple years of college ended up being way easier and far lower-time-commitment than last couple of high school. I could have been less-stressed and earned an associate degree, ready to transfer to a bunch of universities toward a bachelor's degree, while also working more hours at a job that was giving me direct tech industry experience. All in the same couple years I spent absolutely miserable and gradually getting more and more mentally ill in high school (it's like school hours, lack of winter outdoor daytime activity in higher grades, and school building design are all intended to induce SAD).
So I know this is blasphemy in the community but the only game I've played is the Clash of Kings games on the Nintendo DS.
