> I don't see what the employers have to do with it. Slavery was illegal before child labour, so the decision for children to work lay with their parents/guardians.

And shooting workers was also illegal yet "employers" did exactly that when workers started to strike.
Certainly all that /could/ happen, but given developments so far it all seems just a bit far-fetched, doesn't it?
Open Source is broken if you think you should be able to make money from it when you need to. I don't think it's broken for its stated aims.

I feel bad the chap, but I don't think Open Source is to blame. It is fundamentally hard to charge tiny amounts of money to millions of people, which is all he really has to do to survive, because receiving money, especially with all the different tax rules from countries, make micro/nanotransactions difficult.

It would be good to have some sort of marketplace for this sort of thing, that has the scale to wade through country regulations and still transmit enough money to makers to be useful.
As a rule, if I can't understand the pricing in two minutes, I do not do business with a vendor. Also, if there is not a stop-loss, I view the vendor as predatory.
As I understand it, the board is responsible for putting the motion to the shareholders (Twitter shareholders still had the option to reject the Musk buyout). In practice, the board makes the decision because retail shareholders tend to not vote. But they could, if most of them were about to take on a big loss!
It assumes the velocity of items being added to the queue never changes. In real life it speeds up (approaching infinite items), and it slows down (approaching empty). A more meaningful measurement would be something like average number of items in the queue and average time in the queue for any given item.

If you feel like you have enough spare capacity and any given item isn’t taking too long to process then it doesn’t matter if you are ever empty.
Because advertisers are prudes about all manner of social attributes, and they don't have a consistent overlap which leads to services like Twitch simply taking an exhaustive but sometimes contradictory stance.
I get your argument, cargo really gave Rust a leg up.

Unfortunately we are far from having a go to platform. The community page's primary objective is to get the word out and connect local first builders.
With 40 billion dollars on the line? I think it’d make more sense to think through things and evolve it over time rather than shooting from the hip constantly. Morale at Twitter must be even lower than Amazon at this point.
He quit his main job to work full time relying on donations!

People are assholes, but I don't think he had a sound plan.

I think he should have found an employer that was ok with him dedicating some % of time to maintaining core-js.

Personally I'd like to work full time on my own projects, but I'd make sure it made financial sense before just quitting my job and hoping that the universe will sort it out.

At least for now,I was thinking it didn’t do that, and maybe the lack of references would be an indicator of unedited gpt output.
Right. That teaches nothing substantive about banking or financial services, or healthy consumption thereof though.

It does not teach:

A) Not all financial custodians are equal.
B) Financial Institutions can make mistakes; there are things you can do to keep them honest/accurate.
C) much of safe finance involves being able to manage an intangible relationship that involves many entities
D) That there are social obligations on Financial Institutions in the United States that one needs to be aware of.
E) What you can do if you ever run up against any of the Financial system's many failure states, as rare as they are.
F) How to tell a predatory financial service from one... Not quite as predatory...
G) That even things that are specifically not money (cryptocurrency/artwork/other things), can end up turning into primitives that ultimately behave like money, and that you need to be extra cautious dealing with such things because none of the safeguards of the financial can be assumed to be there.
and
H) To read the fine print

Finance is one of those things we unjustifiably YOLO kids through in my opinion; and it's way more than a handful of protocols, processes, and a set of books.
This is just cobalt and not all the other resources required for electrification. The dramatic increase in cobalt supply seems to be mostly a side effect of increased mining for other minerals that are still in greater demand (Nickel). Otherwise it wouldn't be profitable. Meanwhile battery makers have figured out how to use less cobalt since it has a specialized role.

There's still no supply for the lithium shortage (the lag time is a minimum of 7 years to open a new lithium mine) but we are waiting to see if sodium batteries will come to the rescue now.
I don't know where you live, but in most of Europe, rural areas have internet too. It doesn't "fail every time".
Context matters.

If you're a profitable SaaS, and some feature you're working on takes a few weeks longer than planned, odds of a big problem are probably low. Even if an important customer is a little annoyed by waiting for some promised feature a bit longer than planned, you just tell them that you're focusing on quality and to ensure that security and everything else is perfect. In many cases, this isn't going to be a big problem for the individual developers.

But say you're a consultancy that's making some web experience for an ad agency's Super Bowl commercial for some client. You sort of have a strict deadline that cannot be pushed back, and that's going to fuck over your business and reputation if you don't meet your ultimate deadline. You're very likely going to be asked to work extra to ensure that things are done. (You might think that companies take care of important stuff far ahead of time for strict deadlines, but sometimes you'd be surprised.)
They could, but since their spouses are on maternity leave their kids can’t get to the government provided kindergarten and they don’t want to pay for private sector while the mom is at home and supposedly taking care of the kids
From what I can tell, this is a very common take. Especially on this site.
These are estimates. You can also find estimates for time theft in the same ballpark. Solid figures are much lower —estimates are higher as they have to extrapolate into areas with little data.
> Developers have decided to conflate actual entropy with "hard to compute," which is simply not true.

True, they are different, but there is no meaningful distinction between a value that is "truly random" and a value that can be computed with a computer larger than the universe.

> eventually, like all crypto, the method will break

It's disheartening to see this claim being made by someone who regularly works on crypto code. When it comes to symmetric encryption, the war between cryptographers and cryptanalysts is over -- and the cryptographers have won. The security margin provided by modern ciphers like ChaCha20 is so high, and attacks on them so pitiful, that there are now calls for reducing the strength of ciphers in order to increase performance without sacrificing a meaningful amount of security: https://eprint.iacr.org/2019/1492

ChaCha20 will not be broken in our lifetime; probably it will never be broken, in the sense that an attacker will be able to observe any subset of the keystream and predict the next block (which is what we need from a CSPRNG).

Anyway, given these premises (which AFAIK we both agree on):

1) There is no "one-size-fits-all" RNG
2) Using a PRNG instead of a CSPRNG may lead to security vulnerabilities
3) Using a CSPRNG instead of a PRNG may lead to performance degradation

Which type of RNG should be the default (e.g. the one you get if you type 'import rng'), and which type should the programmer have to ask for specifically? That's the question at hand here.
As the developer stated. It doesn't matter if the system is in place. People will mostly not donate.

Got any financial documents about it that you'd care to share? I'm sure they'd be of interest. I was also under the impression that Musk blew a huge hole in the finances of an already marginal business, but I don't think I or anyone besides Twitter insiders actually have the numbers now.
Multi-Object for Loops and Struct-of-Arrays
I don't think these developers have much of a grip on reality. They stated that Valve could suffer financial harm if the game stays off Steam. I don't think they realize how much money Valve makes.
Thanks for checking out. We took 40 seconds because, the average person can hold their breath for 30–90 seconds. This time can increase or decrease due to various factors, such as smoking, underlying medical conditions, or breath training. So by taking 40 seconds, its something most people can do(if they have not much issues with health)
> "For a security focused OS, OpenBSD is terrible in this regard. Pledge and Unveil are simply not sufficient."

Does that mean that OpenBSD's mitigations are trivial to exploit? "Terrible" and "simply not sufficient" are strong words. If so, can you provide a working proof-of-concept? I keep asking this of people who make this statement because I'm genuinely interested in seeing it demonstrated as it has negative implications for me, but no one wants to spend time proving their point.
I suppose you could keep your eyes more on what you've done rather than what needs to be done?

It was weird how easy this was to identify if you have read any amount of ChatGPT content. It has a particular writing style that is pretty obvious.

I am not sure how you would code something to detect an author based on writing style. It feels like something people would have tried to do before. Probably using a similar approach that LLMs use but with a separate predictor for specific authors.
Parenting is like being an NPC in that magic of childhood. You get to live through that again, just not as the main character. I imagine that starts again as a grandparent, but I'm not there yet.
Yeah the gelatin trick is huge. Store-bought stock/broth does a decent job of tasting like real chicken stock, and then the added gelatin does a decent job of feeling like real chicken stock.

It's as close to the real deal as it is probably worth to the home cook. I recently made a huge batch of beef stock and turkey stock over the same two days. After skimming the fat, all the filtering, heating and cooling, and portioning, then freezing, I hit me that while this stock is damn good, I had spent an absolute shitton of money, burned a bunch of fossil fuels, spent a bunch of electricity, and a lot of time, for a couple quarts of stock. A quart of kitchen basics low sodium and two packets of Knox gelatin get me 80% of the way there for fractions of the cost and time.
I remember reading about it, but care to explain simply why it helps?
YouTube has an internal system for handing requests apart of DMCA but videos may also be taken down from YouTube via a DMCA request per law. “Takedown” is a word often used interchangeably for a video taken down via either method.
Heyo! FWIW, just wanted to let you know that your last two comments were auto-killed by HN. I've vouched them, which unkilled them. Looking over your comment history, you seem smart and earnest, so either you're posting from Tor or you've angered Dan somehow, or there's some new filter in place.

Assuming it's not the middle one, you can email hn@ycombinator.com and ask to be marked legit, or you can wait out the noob threshold -- aged accounts are allowed to post from tor without being autokilled, since tor + new account was likely one of the most common ways to abuse the site at one point. So the problem will go away in about 14 days.
Most OS in use have multi-user security models, these days mostly used to compartmentalize system components and service accounts. Lots of vulnerabilities come from cutting corners here.
If ufw worked fine, they shouldn't have had to run "iptables -L" to find out that docker put in a rule that "ufw status" couldn't see. The commands should just be interchangeable.
The average person can hold their breath for 30–90 seconds. This time can increase or decrease due to various factors, such as smoking, underlying medical conditions, or breath training. So that's why we took a 40 seconds test (as an average) and congratulate you.
You're surprised a headline like "The EU’s Response to Musk’s Starlink" from "reneweuropegroup.eu" [1] stirs up nationalistic mud flinging?

It's silly to blame HN for this. This sort of headline is just asking for the conversation to be derailed. Which is exactly why your comment is #1 and the comments below it are quickly derailing into it's own version of EU vs US.

Yes, that is interesting: so digital artists can go back to traditional methods. Like a game where you scan in crayon textures. It's a unique look. More handcrafted.

Maybe AI will bring about a sea change in how we express these traditional works in the digital context.

It's true we miss a huge chunk of art by just considering pixels. Museums are dedicated to the idea that art and expression are intertwined, and that context--both past and present--brings a unique experience to the observer.

Curators certainly aren't generating those longform descriptions next to art pieces. Someone had to think deeply, analyze, and type that out.
Respect for the handmade UI. It's somewhat of a dying art nowadays...

Now someone is thinking and making sense. But I don't think this current AI cycle is anything of a 'revolution'. It is more like a pure hype and mania driven reaction over a hallucinating AI generating sophistry.

There is no breakthrough in this other than 'train it on more data and watch it go off the rails' like what we have seen with Bing AI. This is just Tay 2.0.
Being able to have storage and network transparent business logic is something that I get really excited about. In my mind I want a GraphQL interface (ORMis) for a database that acts like a wire protocol.

There should at least be a way for me to punch in a UPC or some other product code and see exactly where all of the ingredients came from. The author had to go through a lot of effort and hoops just to kinda sorta confirm that these brands are using concentrate and from one of three major players. I don't need to know ratios or recipes, just tell me who touched the shit in this carton.

Where does this deification of government come from?

The government funds the schools we went to, so now we have some eternal obligation to advocate for more government?

I'm not sure if Open Source is broken, so much as the expectation to monetize anything is guaranteed. Most new businesses fail too.

Just because you've created something doesn't mean it'll always be monetizable. I'd argue that if income was the expectation, grinding year after year at the same thing with repeated failure is a mistake. Doesn't matter if it's writing software, or selling widgets on a street corner, not every possible idea will succeed in that way.

You're right, they will never grow out of it.
Yeah, agreed that it's all along the "dimension" of revenue. But the details of how Stripe prices its add-on functionality is different than competitors like Chargebee or Recurly (for subscription management) or QuickBooks Online (for invoicing), so it does make it hard to make "apples to apples" price comparisons.
I do this too - buying whole chickens is generally half the price/lb of individual cuts, and you get the leftover bones/etc to make proper stock.

It's nice to see something like this. I maintain a reference implementation of some open-source software on AWS, but that was pieced together over the years from other people's work, now deleted blog posts (God bless the Internet Archive), and unmaintained sample code on GitHub. Hopefully, a fully worked example like this will fill in a lot of the blanks in my understanding, like how to best implement blue/green deployments (the CodeDeploy hook for CloudFormation has a lot of weird limitations), unit test automation, and monitoring.

Edit: It's blog spam, sadly. Here are direct links to the actual blog posts and tools.

I think if people are ignoring AI's limitations, it's more out of fear that programming is next than having something to gain. I doubt having the money/labour that's currently used creating art for something else would help me in a noticeable way:

-the money would just trickle up

-not that much money is spent on it anyway

-world becomes more depressing, nothing you look at had any effort put into it, no-one had to believe in an advert on any level, instead it's the output of a machine optimised to trick you (as one of a shrinking number of people with any agency) to spend and therefore make the machine stronger.

-artists/potential future artists decide to learn to code instead?
Competition is almost the only thing that has ever lowered prices, raised wages, raised quality and invented new things. It's weird to demonise competition.

I'm not sure selling sausages made out of sawdust is a big win or even that interesting of a business solution. It's a short-cut that most companies could take if they were to chuck their ethics out of the window (and possibly be willing to break the law).

But if it makes money a large swath of the tech industry will hail it as an innovation and follow suit. Which is kind of sad. And also, at the end of the day, why we need laws against selling sausages made out of sawdust.

I'd argue that restaurants _don't_ have the manpower to do this. Restaurant margins are small as it is, and while I don't have concrete numbers to back this statement up, it feels like designating (or even hiring) someone to upcycle products like chicken bones into stock would be prohibitively expensive, in comparison to just buying prepackaged stock in bulk.
