I'm curious about this too. At least now I have fairly decent confidence that when I send an iMessage to someone, Apple protects their identity to whatever standard they have. Whatever trust I put in Apple, at least it's a single point of failure.

What happens if interoperability is enforced and messages have to be end-to-end encrypted? Wouldn't that mean that any side-loaded Android app would have to be able to get hold of my friend's private iMessage key?

On iOS I guess you could still keep the key private through Apple's SDK, but what about other platforms?

Well if you're running an Intel powered device, there is the Intel Management Engine[0], which is a minus ring zero backdoor with unfettered access to everything. It even runs MINIX! It's not really your computer.

Hi Bryan,

As someone deeply involved with the P4 community and contributor to the P4 compiler it is great to see someone being bullish on the language. Have been following your work with interest. :)

I see that you are developing your own compiler. If you have complaints or suggestions please feel free to reach out to p4-design@p4.org. The language design group is meeting monthly and is always interested in hearing grievances of consumers of the language.

As a side-note, we are currently developing tools to ensure that P4 programs are compiled and executed correctly. Tools include packet-test generators, fuzzers, and general-purpose verification frameworks. Because the language is so restricted you can do really powerful validation. A concrete example is Google using P4 as a specification language for their network devices[0]. If that is something that interests you, shoot me a message (fruffy@nyu.edu).

This issue isn't the device.

It's how the device is being used.

Most of this is explained by social media algorithms.

If you are a developer on these projects, it's going to be hard but you need to accept your slice of responsibility here.

Articles like this greatly underestimate the amount of misinformation out there throughout all of human history.

Convincing people that make-believe is objective reality has been a cornerstone of human civilization.

A superpower of humans is the ability to believe-in and spread these myths.

Telecos, large and small, have to upgrade equipment on their own dime to accommodate Big Tech traffic and growth. Currently they are free riding off the telcos. If Big Tech is causing the drive to upgrade and doesn't want to pay, their services need to be turned off in unison across the EU.
Interesting! It may be a geographical thing. Clearly they don't want you to be able to do a free "circular commute" so for instance, in the Bay Area, all bridges charge toward San Francisco, and are free in the opposite direction. So there's no way to do a circular commute that wouldn't add 100+ miles by circumnavigating the Bay every day. But it seems like it "should" be simple enough (Dangerous words!) to coordinate say, "all bridges over a river in the metro area charge eastbound."

It seems kind of a waste from my perspective to have to do the traffic bottleneck in two directions.

Sure, but that's a discussion similar to "what happens when the sun has finally run out of juice and it gets dark forever": potentially entertaining, probably highly interesting to academics, but hopefully not weighing in too much on our energy policy for this century.

I don't think "what if we automate everything" helps us understand the present any more than "what if energy was unlimited" or "what if gravity was a social construct": they aren't, so if you're looking to base a decision on that being differently, you're going to be in for a wild ride, and if you're looking for answers to questions like "do all people want to work?", "is all work equally liked?" etc, I'm not sure what insight is to be gained, the answers are "No."
I can't claim to be this clever, but I do remember a friend telling me at least two decades ago that all he gives the taxi is the postcode + house number.

The framing here is off. I understand the impulse, but it's different business decisions and conflating them just isn't reasonable. It is certainly reasonable for employees to question why one area of business was prioritized over others, but framing this as "paying someone $10m to sit around vs 8,000 people who did real work" is still disingenuous.

I'm not defending the layoffs -- though I think all of us have known that the ever-increasing TC wars amongst big companies was unsustainable and that tech companies over-hired. And none of that is the people who were laid off's fault. At all. These were bad decisions on the part of management. But framing it as "chose to layoff X people instead of paying out a contract to Matthew McConaughey" is misguided.

The bottom line is that Matthew McConaughey did a better job of negotiating his contract than rank and file employees did and that's why he still has a contract. Obviously, he is in a position to argue better terms than rank and file engineers, but that's how this works. If his contract was renewed or reupped on, that would be one thing (and ultimately, that would be something for the board or shareholders to weigh in on), but we don't know the details about how long the contract was for and what the deliverables are, or what the ROI is.

Framing this in "this versus that" terms just doesn't make sense.

Ask HN: How to filter the noise, rate/endorse the web?
With the recent advances in Chat-GPT and the setbacks in search result quality (SEO over good content), the internet will become more and more difficult to navigate.

It will become increasingly difficult to differentiate between truthful content and generated but not entirely correct or even intentionally manipulative content. Even if I can laboriously check one or the other blog post for truthfulness, my grandmother certainly cannot.

Is there a system (browser plugin?) with which I can rate/endorse websites?

It would be practical if, as an expert in certain topics, I could rate entire domains or individual pages and, conversely, benefit from the ratings of others in areas in which I have no expertise. I'm thinking of a GPG-based (Web of Trust) system. Of course, one would have to ensure that only 1 rating can be submitted per user (phone number or Gov-id validation?).

Note: I assume there are search engines trying to solve this issue (which ones?), but I would like to see a system that works independently of how I access the web (via search engine or URL).
> Telcos are lobbying for some of this money to go to them because it's "unfair"

This always makes me giggle. A company who is already getting paid for transmitting data wants to get paid twice for transmitting some data, essentially charging their customers twice for some of those bits.

Yeah for-else as implemented in Python is... not actually that useful. It's the right tool to inline std::find_if and that's basically it. I think the behavior you had in mind would actually be more intuitive and more useful.

OTOH, try...else I find myself missing at times.

I'd imagine it would be similar to how the (former) doctor who kicked off the anti-vaccine thing had his Ph.D. revoked, which involved a whole board of his peers reviewing his claims and actions and determining that he caused irredeemable harm. The problem in this case is how CS is such a new field that we don't really have boards and such that will scrutinize to that extent in an academic context, at least as far as I know.

Feels as if you are using stockfish for openings. Might be an idea to randomise a bit otherwise it becomes predictable. But it is really a great piece of work.
Quite a few online forms do this already, you only need to put in the postcode then you are presented with a selection of house numbers.

Often we put the house number and postcode on the back of the envelope as a sender address.
Also tolls crossing into NYC. Since going around is impractical, it means you need half as much tolling. And since the land for tollbooths would be more expensive on the NYC side your savings are even larger.
Objectively speaking - I think we've never had as many companies vying for our attention as we do today.

Worse - we've never had the ability to give those companies real time feedback on whether their strategies are working like we do today.

So while I somewhat agree with:

> Communication changes and life goes on. Don't really see much difference with phones. It's just the same "kids these days" and the same obliviousness as always that they've become the "old man yelling at cloud".

It's pretty hard to argue with the plain fact that teen suicide rates are WAY up compared to the last 40 years.

So if you're going to take the opinion "this is just old people being curmudgeons" I don't really see you making a compelling argument that they're wrong. If anything - maybe they're right...?
It used to be 1.5x. And I was just wondering where the 2x came from. The non-office space expenses for me add up to maybe an additional 40%. If I was in a better health plan it might theoretically go up to 50%. Tack on expenses for the non-pension retirement plan manager and HR jobs to support employees and I can maybe get to 1.6x. But 2x+ doesn't happen until factoring in consumable and other expenses needed for my job. So I think that has to be a big part of it.
They should have hired me instead. I'd have done it for $9M.

That could be a part of it, but groups are usually too complex to reduce to a single dimension. As an outsider, I often browse NYT and Fox News and am struck by how utterly different front page coverage is. I don't mean the tone of coverage, just the articles and categories that make it to the front page, which either reflect an editorial bias and/or what's getting eyeballs.
> You know why these substances exist right? Because the prior substances were cutting a hole in the ozone layer.

Refrigeration may end up back where it originally started (before freon even), using ammonia. Ammonia is somewhat dangerous on a local level (you don't want an ammonia leak in your house..) but AFAIK it doesn't eat up ozone and the local hazard is something that can be mitigated with the right sort of product design.

While technically true, that statistic is misleading as it requires further qualification, namely that $100k figure only applies to shoppers in Costco's PNW area - not nationwide, and certainly not internationally.
Or it's just that the let's encrypt topic and https per Default and getting down ranked on Google when using http makes 80 just a really really bad option.

My company blocks port 80 globally and I only learned about it through an internal service I configures. Which shows how little normal day to day traffic is http and port 80.

Also when the https topic came up, quite a lot of big hosters (shops, crms, website hosting) started to give you https which was NOT normal before.

Interesting. People on BART ten years ago would read over my shoulder or borrow a section. Or talk to me about the book I'm reading. I like holding books up at eye level rather than looking down at them in my lap just for neck strain. That makes the cover more visible for sure, but I don't think it's a significant factor in the interrupting. Just in the noticing.

Is that necessarily worse performance, though?

One of the main pitfalls/criticisms of ChatGPT has been that it confidently plows forward and gives an answer regardless of whether it's right or wrong.

Here, it seems like it's being more circumspect, which could be a step in the right direction. At least that's one possible explanation for not answering.

On Wikipedia, if I type "Scott Alexander" and hit enter, it takes me directly to the page for a baseball player. So it's not clear that the blogger is the right answer.

I do think there's a better response than either of these, though. It could list the most famous Scott Alexanders and briefly say what each is known for, then ask if you mean one of those.

But there would need to be a conductor, of sorts, to collect or organize or designate importance to datasets, wouldn't you agree?
The only way for randomness to work is to limit the set of available random "datums". This is done by composition pre-existing knowledge.

For example, if I have trillions of atoms randomly composed together with the objective to form a perfect cube, it will take eternity for a valid solution to arise.

If I have pre-existing cubes of atoms already pre-formed into cubic lego bricks and I have these components compose randomly, then it is far more likely that I get a cube.

LLMs, can do this with additional reinforcement training. chatGPT specifically is effective because it has this on top of the original GPT-3 model.

This is essentially random selection of known datums. It happens at the genetic level as well on a higher level.

The generation of raw novel datums in genes, however, is something that cannot happen in human brains. The mechanism for natural selection cannot exist within the brain itself, unless you're calling the trial by error process "natural selection." But again a human doesn't select a completely random strategy to "trial" he will select a strategy out of a known set. This is again, selecting a random datum.

Keep in mind, actual pure randomness generates useless noise 99.99999% of the time.

> Did you buy real-estate in 20/21 when the mortgate rates were 2%? If you didn't that's a terrible decision.

Meh. Securing financing in 20/21 was great but buying in 20/21 was kind of terrible.

Everyone I know who bought during that time period is now stuck for 30 years because over-extended and took a bath on property value, and a lot of them are already regretting that choice as life returns to normal and they realize life in the outer suburbs is kind of miserable (especially as they RTO).

Conversely, refinancing and leveraging cheap cash in 20/21, building a pile of powder, and then waiting until 2023-2024 to buy looks like a much better move. At least in my local market, either prices are down significantly or the seller can't afford a lower price and the inventory just sits on the market.
In addition to this, the bundle files generated at runtime are stored in memory in a Map. If you have a server and want to have multiple processes for handling requests, each of those processes will have a copy of the build artifacts in memory. Any requests that get routed to newly started processes will have their response delayed by however long it takes to generate the bundle. So users would experience seemingly random delayed load times due to runtime bundling.

I think it would be better to do bundling in your CI/CD. esbuild supports incremental builds, so using that + code splitting would be one way of speeding up builds.

With their current bundling design, if they believe bundling is fast enough for users to not be negatively impacted, wouldn't it also be fast enough to not slow down development/deployment by having it in a build step?

Fairly standard around Chicago area. Results for Illinois Tollway Plaza will show them (not all of them are - they can get interesting at intersections and off-ramps).

(late edit)

This is largely driven by the question "is a vehicle heading in one direction likely to return in the other?"

For trips from Oakland to SF, yes - it is very likely that the vehicle will go back across the bay bridge back to Oakland (rather than heading down to San Jose and then back up the other side).

On the other hand, a vehicle driving on the tollway through Chicago may be heading up to Minneapolis or to Detroit and then to other directions. Trips on the Illinois tollways are less likely to have a return trip and so both directions need to be tolled to capture the vehicles. It costs twice as much to do this (twice as many toll booths and staff) and so given the choice (trips to an island or other geographically isolated area) they only pay tolls in one direction.
