> You don't even try to fix all the bugs or edge cases. You try to minimize the impact of failures while accepting that there will always be failures

Yes but I'll point you back at my original comment about correctness. I've never been on a team that shipped code we knew would do the wrong thing. I ship code with known failure points all the time. But when the code runs to completion, I'm pretty darn sure it's doing the correct thing and we try very, very hard to make sure of that. With AI I am seeing that they can't discern between issues of correctness and issues of failure or availability. It's just like 95% success across all of those spectrums.

Yea I agree, that's somewhat scary to think about.

Funny you mention human rights, which is something the religion (Catholicism) fought frantically against.

There are different kind of beliefs. The author is quite explicit in that he’s describing one particular kind: religious beliefs. Which, as we now know, are just another kind of fringe theories, like flat earth. But - and that’s what the article is about - they could make sense in some specific circumstances.

I though i read “my me me let me to a meltdown” . No, joke aside. Moderation is good. Not everything needs to be intense. Some people that have use drugs tend to arrive to meditation as a replacement of those intense experiences. No need to be famous, tell my story, and yes there are a lot of lunatics conducting retreats with no idea on what they are doing. And yes if you play with fire you tend to get burned. Also i find that meditation usually and gently can release some energy, but that does mean that your are smarter. I am just the same idiot with more energy :)

I live in a deep blue area much of the local churches, synagogues, and mosques, support Joe Biden. I've got no problem with that, or the reverse - some of these views just reflect their interpretation of their holy faith through their own perception.

I'd rather we not go after religious organizations unless they are actually doing something criminal, sex crimes, financial crimes, etc.
There's a world of difference between OpenAI and Hugging Face. OpenAI simply has the word "open" in their name, while there is nothing open about them. Hugging Face on the other hand deserves a ton of credit and praise in that regard. It's perfectly fine for a company of that nature to partner with a big player(whether that be Microsoft or AWS or Google or whatever): infrastructure is not free, nor is it cheap. Of course AWS and Microsoft have a lot to gain from this, which is also fine for that exact reason. So long as the community continues to exist and have the ability to use, extend and participate, I don't see anything wrong.

Moreover, Hugging Face has made it stupid simple for anyone to use. So Microsoft, AWS or Google, all I can say is bravo, Hugging Face and thanks for your work.

On the one hand, you’re right. That’s not a useful answer.

On the other hand, they did state it’s a developer focused search product for technical & factual questions. They’re aiming to make a bot that doesn’t provide opinions, or long convoluted conversations. On that basis your query isn’t a great representation of that.

But what should the answer be anyway? Winter? When there’s snow? When you have a break from work and enough money for a lift pass? When you’re feeling strong and healthy? Should the bot ask you clarifying questions to determine that?

If you asked a person this question they’d either ask you clarifying questions regarding what you actually want to know, or give you a vague answer based on where and when they like to go skiing.

Hello - I'm one of the people at YC who work on YC's co-founder matching site (which, if you aren't familiar with it, is at https://www.ycombinator.com/cofounder-matching).

It's not totally clear to me if OP is referring to that product specifically or something else, but I figured I would take the opportunity to get feedback anyway!

We are very actively working on the co-founder matching site and would love to hear from people who have used it - what your experience was and how we could make it better.

We've been running the site for about two years now, since we launched it here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27750298. Coincidentally, the idea actually grew out of open threads just like the ones OP suggested. We started by experimenting with those threads on HN and our Startup School forum, but nobody ever found an actual co-founder that way.

So we decided to build it as an actual product. Since we launched, over 20 teams that met on the site have gotten funded by YC, and many of them are doing quite well. So we think the early results are overall promising.

That said, co-founder matching is a very hard problem. It's a multi-sided marketplace with complex dynamics, and we know we have a lot of work to do to make it work for everyone. We'd love your feedback if you've tried it.
Citation for that 99% figure? If it's anecdotal then I will give you my anecdote as a non Christian that I see 99% of churches doing charitable works.
The point is that if you are trying to replace millions of developers, you will obviously require something on the order of quadrillions of spec writers. Or, rather, this is probably still an underestimation.

And yes, it is a very obvious point, and that people keep missing that point on this site is unsettling. (Also, yes, this can be trivially circumvented if you just let those people program, instead of only do verification.)

You can, also obviously, replace millions of average developers with (way more) millions of extremely competent spec writers if they can use formal methods. Those will require way more computing power than it can ever exist on Earth to do their work, but they can mathematically get there.
It's not higher level programming, because it's imprecise. We don't know how input will impact output, or to what extent, or why. If prompt engineering is programming, so is poetry. Which, I suppose you could make an argument for (calling forth subjective imagery in the reader's mind), but at that point you're sufficiently stretching definitions to the point they mean nothing.
I would be giddy if everyone who did something bad regardless of political affiliation would get justice.
Why is it not feasible to store and later rebuild the page DOM and view state?

This is an annoyance across all browsers; there's no built-in way to bottle up the current state except by printing to PDF, which then becomes unclickable.

I spent time one summer playing around building a capturing system addon for Firefox which bottles a browser page DOM state, all assets, and necessary CSS styles inline into one single blob of HTML for long-term preservation. There were a lot of subtle gotchas to work out (which made for a stimulating exercise) but after some time it worked just fine, so it's 100% totally achievable.

I'd like to understand why this functionality isn't provided with every tier-1 browser.

Looking at the Ousterhout paper, I share your skepticism. I'm perfectly willing to believe that a parallel universe with datacenters running Homa would be a better world.

But if I were to make a list of actual reasons too much money is getting burned on AWS bills, I suspect TCP inefficiencies wouldn't make the top 10. And worse, some of the things that do make the list, like bad managers, rushed schedules, under-trained developers, changing technical fashions, and "enterprise" development culture, all are huge barriers to replacing something so deep in the stack.

I think we can safely view the 1980s/1990s as the testing grounds for finding out what works and what doesn't.

Naturally, the things that worked were acquired and consolidated by larger and larger companies, which allowed tech to be cheap and commonplace.

The #1 necessary factor for something being accessible later on is the sheer amount of popularity it enjoyed in the past.

E.g. I think some common interfaces, like SATA / USB Type-A will never die, willing to take a $10k long bet that they will still be easily accessible in 15-20 years. Maybe not as popular as some newer ones like M.2 or USB-C.

> Lots of files from the last two decades are inaccessible to me

Yes, but not by volume. The amount of files ever stored on all 3.5 floppies in the world could very easily fit into a single server rack these days.

Are these 0.01% of files more valuable in proportion than others? If not, then it makes 0 sense to focus on preserving those interfaces.

I just wish they would get rid of tab groups, what a pain those are!
Half of what I use tabs for are for fan-out on research.

I think the main problem here is the lack of user studies. I think if you watch a hundred people to see how they are using tabs, you'll find a couple of patterns and that the right solution is to do something else with the middle mouse click, such as creating a new reading list, or opening tabs but either not loading them at all, loading them at low priority, or reducing the priority by 15% for each successive tab you've opened from the current page.

If I open 6 tabs from google, I'm most likely going to click on the one that ends up next to my current tab. That one is the priority. Everything else is best effort.

> If I get pulled over in a Bentley with an expired sticker, I pay the same price as someone in a Kia.

That meets an intuitive definition of fairness, but the realpolitik story there is you don't have a lot of power to make trouble for the municipality by tying them up in court for a half-decade arguing how your Bentley was actually operated legally because the definitions of "sticker" and "driving" and "expired" are very flexible (on account of them being not very flexible).

The probability a case heads towards settlement hinges on the ambiguity of the charges and the plaintiff's ability to prove said charges. Securities is way murkier than traffic operation.
The risk is not that Ensign Peak will keep doing this, it's that other people who are committing the same violation as we speak will now continue to do it until they're caught because they know there will be no noticeable penalty.

If it's easier to understand, just consider how much the SEC had to spend litigating this for 4 years. Now every time they come across this particular crime they'll have to spend at least that much, because the perpetrators will know there is no risk in fighting them, and nobody will preemptively stop before an investigation.
Thanks for the feedback. The "Create a python class that can parse MP4 headers" question is something that Phind should be able to answer well. If it doesn't give an example immediately, following up with "give me an example" usually works well.

Running it again, I got a code example:

> Create a python class that can parse MP4 headers

> To create a Python class that can parse MP4 headers, one can use the pymp4 library available on GitHub.

The Box class from this library can be used to build and parse MP4 headers.

The following code shows an example of using the Box class to build an MP4 header and then parse it:

from pymp4.parser import Box
from io import BytesIO

header = Box.build(dict(
type=b"ftyp",
major_brand="iso5",
minor_version=1,
compatible_brands=["iso5", "avc1"]))
print(header)

parsed_header = Box.parse(header)
print(parsed_header)

The shell company scenario certainly is bad, although it's not inherently limited to religious orgs. We see this a lot with the broad definition used for 501c3's. The dog I just picked up from the breeder has her business as a 501c3 because they occasionally contract with a veterans org to supply service dogs. 75%+ of her dogs don't fit that criteria and are just pets.

Another thing to note is that religious orgs, by-in-large, run off donations through tithes and offerings. I know we're all thinking of the O'Steens, TD Jakes and the other charlatans on TBN. The types that charter private planes, and have subsidiaries.

Truthfully, they're really the minority when we consider that they fall under the same umbrella as the countless sub-100 person congregations like 1st Baptist on MLK Jr Blvd in lower San Fransisco or Iglesia de Christo on San Mateo Blvd in Albuquerque.

Do you want to hear something really fucked up? The extensive protections we've granted to churches is now being abused by dark-money groups and lobbying firms so they no longer have to file 990s or disclose donors. The Family Research Counsel (partially famous for supporting the death penalty for homosexual activity in Uganda) is now a registered Church - and their lobbyist leader, David Perkins is the head of this supposed religion according to what they filed with the IRS:

https://www.propublica.org/article/family-research-council-i...

If you're asking how they do political activities when that's still (on paper) illegal for churches -- they have a separate organization with the same employees, board, leadership, and address called FRC Action that handles their political activity with "different" dollars.

Every implementation I have ever seen of this concept has correctly avoided dropping tabs with dirty state in text boxes, so I think this article is freaking out and causing panic in these comments about a scenario that almost certainly will never happen. Also: I bet you'll be able to turn it off. But, as someone who actively uses a billion tabs and also cares deeply about state, I have 1) always used various versions of this feature when available in browsers or via extensions and 2) I don't think I have ever seen one lose state I cared about. The real hilarity to me is merely how Google has taken so long to enable this use case by default in the core, and I will claim it is due to their anti-user pro-surveillance business models that enjoy having code sitting around running occasionally in a number of what should have long since become static renderings of pages I have open.
The answer says they "regret mistakes made".

> Can you support with evidence the idea that Ensign Peak is just going to blow off the fine and pay 5MM every few years instead of filing 13Fs?

The parent comment very clearly said “other perpetrators”.

I agree: Such a small fine is basically encouragement for other groups to commit the same violations. When the downsides are so negligible small, there is basically no risk for duplicating the bad behavior. If you get caught, pay a token fine and move on.

If the fine is less than the profit of committing the crime, then it is now de facto legal, taxed profit. There is no incentive not to continue committing the crime.

Why do you think you need orders of magnitude more spec writers than coders rather than the other way around?
A lot of our decisions were based on our past experience with Bazel. We both have worked at companies that tried to use Bazel and failed miserably. There's stuff we like about Bazel (and copied in some capacity, like file groups), and definitely parts we hate about Bazel.

Bazel doesn't work well for every language, but for those languages that it does, it definitely makes sense to use Bazel. For those languages that work better with something more lightweight, that's where moon comes in. I'm assuming you work at Google, so you're experience around Bazel is probably much better than those that don't work at Google.

I appreciate all the feedback and comments though, very much appreciated.
Bazel's glob does the same thing. I'm not sure what the OP means, Bazel's incrementality is aided by fine-grained build input specification, but it's incrementaility is at core a combination of deterministic build rules, storage of build rule execution history, and early-stopping.
