If corporations are accepted to be "evil" (and we have lots of examples of mega-corporations that haven't held to "don't be evil"), then simply taxing them and having them continue to be evil doesn't make a lot of sense. Perhaps it would be better to abolish corporate structures and find a new paradigm with greater personal responsibility with small companies more responsive to customers and their customers' values? If people feel responsible for their actions, then they are more likely to "not be evil", instead of being a raindrop in the flood that believes they should just do as they are told. A large part of the US economy is small business, small businesses can live by their values instead of the inexorable pull towards more profit. I'm not saying all small businesses do, but it's more of a personal choice of their values and their customers' values rather than a large tendency to "become evil with more profit and seeking monopolies".
Not really. You are the one claiming that a survey is not statistically representative, and based on that baseless assertion you proceed to argue the exact opposite without any proof or reason.

Does this feel even remotely reasonable to you?
The difference between those thought experiments and the LLMs I'm working with, is the fact that I can test LLMs and myself empirically. I don't feel that I can tell apart human and AI writing with more than 70% confidence. As these models get better, I feel it's going to approach 0%. And especially for writing on topics I am not familiar with. Since the simulation hypothesis arguments aren't directly testable, they don't feel scientific. I personally also have problems with the implication of the existence of conscious greater power. And so it doesn't give me the same existential panic thinking about the future of AI generated content does. I never took the time to read the original paper by Bostrom, thank you for the link.

Edit: I should have used the word disprovable instead of testable.

> And it would be something else if the west stopped there, they moved wartime weapons closer to Russia and increased the size of an alliance specifically created to counteract a Russian threat

This is completely false. Becoming a member of NATO has always been the initiative of Eastern European countries, not "the west". Existing North American and Western European members were always hesitant at best, because they did not believe that EE had anything to fear from Russia (which is obviously false, as we can see now). Whatever illusions there were about post-1991 Russia in Eastern Europe, Chechen wars shattered them already in 1995.

The same applies to weapons. NA and WEU countries have always been very hesitant to station any weapons in EE, even if there is an obvious gap, such as total lack of air force, which is the case in some smaller EE members who can't afford one, but need a few jets just for basic policing (to respond to events like hijacked or otherwise non-responsive airplanes). This changed only in 2022. HIMARS, PATRIOT and other advanced weapons arrived only now to protect Eastern Europe. Before, NA and WEU military presence in Eastern Europe was limited to infrantry, in small numbers, mostly for mutual training purposes.

This was the so-called "tripwire concept", as any attack on American, British or French soldiers in EE could lead to nuclear escalation, which would hopefully deter from the attack in the first place. This concept was abandoned in 2022 in favor of establishing a much larger multinational force that could successfully counter a Russian invasion from day 1.

Thanks to the stupid actions of Vladimir Vladimirovich, Russia will have hundreds of HIMARSes and other advanced weapons right on its border instead of light infrantry battalions with 4 tanks and 2 Apaches.
> Honestly I wish they'd gone a step further and required ECC support.

That's a non-starter because Intel upsell ECC as an "enterprise"/"prosumer" feature and regular, non-high-end/workstation/server processors don't support ECC. Sadly Intel is still the CPU market leader, so that would have meant Win11 not being able to run on most existing hardware at launch.

There seems to be a common theme to those. When Ceausescu visited NY he and his stupid wife (huge scientific fraud story on its own, including lot of reputable western universities going along with it) were sure Macy was just a show stocked specifically for them.

You probably won’t be able to use latest versions of pytorch because of k40 cuda support, but that’s okay.

It does? Maybe I misread the specs a few months ago, sorry. But as you said it doesn't have a jack.
Certainly it depends on the use-case. ORMs are wonderful for CRUD style applications, but tend to be (in my experience) awful for reports. They also tend to discourage developers to think about query performance, because the ORMs query DSLs don't usually have first-class profiling.
It is a moat and keeps the status quo.

He understands how finance works, and he understands how compound interest rates work; he got the benefit of "low interest rates" on taxes and generated a lot of wealth; if he increases taxes for upstarts and himself, the upstarts are harmed more, since he has the legacy wealth from the historical discount.

Aristocrats made the laws favor themselves, and since they already owned all the land and wealth, no one was going to challenge them inside the legal framework.

There is a tendency, once you make your own fortune, to get political influence and make laws that make it harder for others to do the same thing. Change the rules of the game so you can't fall. Lobbying is a key business skill these days.

I believe the article has a wrong take on this, and it seems more like a rant to generate views than an actual analysis of why people write things that already exist in the wild

It's not about spending time but considering all the actual real learning of making a complex piece of software (maybe if you focus too many dev cycles into it might become harmful). Still, at the end of the day, you will have a team of almost experts in X topic who can go back and even improve on what they are doing (using any other common, well-known framework)

And yes, I agreed with the author that it doesn't make sense to write one just for the sake of it, but as Feymann said: "What I cannot create, I don't understand."
Apache NetBeans 17 Released
Even basic HTML had several levels of headers, which were supposed to be shown differently - at least fonts, if not sizes. NeXT, which was used as the first web server, had graphical capabilities. Frankly, I'm not really sure there was significant push against images at all. Even with 2400 bps modems - some of the slowest at the time - images could be loaded, surely qualitatively slower than now, but still could.
He did used that argument by the biggening of the war and stopped using it as it because apparent people generally do not believe it. That would be excuse.

Putin and Russia recycle same excuses and points across countries all the time. It does not make it harder for them, they work around the same each time.

I don't think there is much evidence of dementia or whatever. The rumors about Putin bad health are there constantly for years and none of them ended up confirmed.

To be honest it smells like a project by a bored agency wordpress dev who would rather eat their own head than code another custom theme so spent a few weeks throwing this up instead. Every big wordpress agency has devs like this.

> once you have an MVP, you should immediately work towards a native solution.

All of the chat apps that worked towards a native solution have died. Most of the other apps too, but all of the chat apps. Going native, despite being satisfying for the user, carries a maximum cost in terms of internal organization (several departments in the company for each target OS), HR (developers that can’t be recycled in other departments), marketing: “Wait, does HipChat MacOS has the same features as HipChat-on-the-mac-but-in-browser? Wait it doesn’t matter, HipChat is dead.”

If you where to start a new software project in the mid-90s and had the benefit of hindsight, there is no argument for not starting on Windows NT. Looking back the "correct" career choice would be a C++ developer on the Windows NT platform, you could build a lifetime career on Windows (unless it fails in the next 10 - 15 years, which I doubt).

Sure we have abandon-ware that requires a Windows 95 desktop or a Windows 2000 installation, but bringing a piece of actively developed Windows software forward through the version in the past 25+ years has been relatively easy.

I picked Linux/Unix and languages like Python 20 years ago, so it's a little late for me, but if I could go back in time, I'm not sure that Windows and C++ wouldn't have been an equally good choice.

It's obviously very unrealistic, but I read Robert Service's biography about Stalin and it's interesting to see how many details in the movie are inspired by real events. I recommend the biography by the way, it's engrossing.
True, as a man, I want love, belonging, family, etc.

I was trying to read this charitably, but here’s a quote from Adams’ Twitter:

> 1. Treat everyone as an individual (no discrimination).

> 2. Avoid any group that doesn't respect you.

The irony is that the second point is literally discrimination. Wholesale avoiding a specific race, regardless of your reasoning, is racist by definition.

This is no different than Kanye talking about “the Jews”.

Don’t take group generalizations (especially distorted ones) and prejudiciously apply them to individuals.

That's the funny thing. Security? I don't want updates and my phone is over 6 years old.

But the app developers usually threatens and holds my data ransom until I update. Some have the audacity to update upon any internet connection in direct contravention of my "no background data usage" policy on any connection.

Funny that.
Browser performance is actually very good. Its runtime js engine is heavily optimized. Same for the render. Wether its the dom node render or canvas one. They can be very fast. Certainly possible to write native like apps.

And it's not a fair comparison either, an iPhone which isn't updated is a big security issue due to everything being so coupled to the OS, on Android it depends of the security flaw affected itself.

I'm not defending the poor upgradability to Android but they worked around that a lot.

This. I moved multiple web applications from bare-metal to the cloud, and many times had to refactor code to do hit the disk less. What worked before: Dozens of SQL queries, or loading session data from a file - for each request - it all was too slow in the cloud.

Also: I find that many engineers wouldn't be able to tell you if the storage attached to their VMs was networked, or actual hardware on the hypervisor. A distinction that has big implications for throughput and latency.
I see.

I thought you were saying that making this work offline should be trivial. I didn't realize you wanted to replace the entire dev process, to have the end user make their own version from scratch.

So my reply was talking about the ease of installing a program that was developed like this but for offline use, not the ease of make-your-own.

You're of course right that making your own has no easy solution here. But that's a separate problem from working offline, and the way you talked about both problems at the same time confused me.
> This never happened. There has been no such agreement.

https://nsarchive.gwu.edu/document/16119-document-08-letter-...

There is reputable source mentioning when during a negotiation, the US promised in return for a unified Germany there would be no eastward NATO expansion.

The argument you probably heard is that this was not a legally binding agreement. However, between sovreign nations, there is no superior authority by which you can determine what is legal or not, there is no rule of law to govern the world, international law boils down to agreements between sovreign nations and while this was not a formal treaty signed on paper it is dishonest to say that a promise made in public by an official representative of the US and NATO is non-binding. If you make a verbal agreement in any other aspect of law and choose to dishonor that agreement, so long as there is provable documentation of your agreement, you are still found liable right? This is the case in just about any country because it is aligned with a basic principle of justice: your word is your bond.

> You're being downvoted because you're perpetuating Russian lies and false perspectives.

Please sir/madam, attack my arguments all you want but don't attack my character or intent or downvote me based on false assumptions like that. It goes against the spirit of HN to discourage honest and sincere attempt at discourse like this.

I do not know or care if part of what I said aligns with what Russians are saying. My argument is not correct or incorrect because of what Russians think. I provided a rational explanation of my reasoning which you are free to attack. I do not support Russia or their invasions or Putin or Trump or whatever parisan boogeyman you can think of. I made my argument as an individual observing in my limited capacity the facts at hand for which I am glad to be corrected. Please don't attack or misrepresent my character or intent.
I think short-term rental rules really need to be determined on a community by community basis. In some places (like beach towns, or ski resorts) it might be ok to have 50% (just pulling that number out of nowhere) houses be short-term rentals. In NYC or San Francisco it might make more sense to limit short-term rentals more (a certain number of nights per unit per year), the policing of such a policy though, oi!
Current security systems tend to have strict logic to say what actions are possible when. For example, 'if you have an iPhone logged into iCloud and the pin then you can change the iCloud password'.

I think a better model would be to compare the position the user is trying to get into with the position they were in 7 days ago.

If the user wants to remove a device from their account... Fine... But if the user 7 days ago had a totally different set of synced devices, has changed the recovery phone, and changed the password, then that's probably a bad sign.

The recovery process from this is then to ask a user to provide as many forms of Auth as possible from forms of Auth they had configured 7 days ago. If they know the 7 days ago password, recovery phone, pin, and can access devices from 7 days ago, you probably have the real user.

It used to be, that CSS-in-JS meant people naively writing something using a computed string to use the HTML style attribute, like so

var style="color:blue;text-align:center;"
return <h1 style={style} />

and some CSS in JS frameworks compile down to pretty much that. However, this is a bad practice, because you will consistently see worse performance than just using css files and classnames instead.
