This is an awesome idea, stealing it :)
There was a large problem of websites showing fake Apple ID login screens to steal people's Apple passwords.

Since then, Apple has changed iCloud log-in to use a derived key that requires the 6-digit passcode. This has reduced the problem dramatically.

It's very strange that they don't require the old password or any sort of 2FA (for users with multiple Apple products) to change the password though.
You can. And if you want to find out if I'm sentient or just some chat it, you'd need to probe me for my ability to solve problems, make judgements, reason about someone else's experiences, all things a chatbot would fail rather ridiculously.
Prelim (YC S17) | Software Engineers, Customer Success, Marketing Manager | REMOTE (US ONLY) | prelim.com

Prelim is a digital originations platform for banks. (We're a Y Combinator backed company! YC S17)

Banks spend billions of dollars on one-size fits all solutions to originate their products. When banks want to do something as simple as change copy, or add a new set of questions, banks are forced to either pay per hour, seek out a new vendor, or build it themselves. Our platform empowers banks to give their customers better experiences, instead of having to post a pdf on their website.

I suspect it's not mentioned because in the real world there are ways to work around this limitation. And because those work arounds actually work, there's nothing interesting to say. The post is much ado about nothing.
#3 sounds like a reference library and/or a rare books library.
Yes that would be preposterous. What adds to the conversation is to snipe arguably at least 2nd if not 3+rd comment regarding the use of the word, then simply say the comment doesn't add to the conversation and nothing more. I truly appreciate this non-hypocritical value add.
This is again assuming that you have no side effects. Imagine that you want to email users based on a list in Kafka. You read the offset in a transaction and update it. But do you send the email inside the transaction or after closing it? You are back to picking between at-least-once and at-most-once.
Metadata is useful in building profiles on people.

Master Data Management pipelines and systems make this processing quite easy.

Third party companies like Accurint will pay for data.

Very rarely is it just how much time are you spending in various features.
It can be very hard to get idempotency right.

It can get way harder when your initial design made incorrect assumptions about the delivery semantics you were using, so you didn't know you'd need it.

Edit for example:

Someone could have a low-latency problem that seems like it could be a fit for a streaming application. They could look at docs and see "ooh, with Flink I can do exactly-once writes to Kafka" in one place, and choose to use that. But if they don't dig deeply into what that means, they may miss the latency impacts of having to checkpoint every time to commit a set of writes to Kafka. And by the time they figure this out, managing both "low latency" and "exactly once" in the code they wrote might be a really hairy problem.

I feel betrayed whenever these organizations initially toot their own horns on how they are open or they are a charity, but then later on, change their goals or corporate structure with a vague press release. They then continue to keep the same name, allowing them to ride on their goodwill.
I mean, here in Germany, public transport in cities is good enough that even as a wheel chair user, it's easier to use the tram than to have your own car outfitted.

Not the biggest distrohopper on the planet, but I have been using GNU/Linux since around 2006 so I will throw my hat in the ring with some comments and answers I have seen to similar questions over the years.

* Straight-up Debian is not always recommended as a desktop distro. I use Debian Testing as my desktop distro, though, and have had no problems. I did use Debian Sid, which works like a rolling distro in the sense that it does not need to be reinstalled for major version updates. I managed to mess it up during an update by carelessly pressing 'y' without reading what was written in the terminal.

* I have used Manjaro in the past, and it was fine. Just take it easy with packages from the AUR and everything will be OK. And remember: Manjaro != Arch. I tried Arch and used it for a long time. Not a single issue. Quite seamless, great wiki.

* I tried MX for quite some time. It might be worth looking at because you can access some newer packages through backports and the built-in tools can be helpful setting this up. I found it to be just as fast and seamless as Arch. MX is semi-rolling and Debian-based.

* Right now, I see a lot of people talking about Fedora as a great desktop Linux experience. It is one of the few major distros that I have never tried. Several of the big Linux YouTubers recommend it for Desktop use.

If I were you, I would stick with what works until it doesn't work. If you keep digging around, you'll start spending more time keeping your dotfiles in order than actually enjoying the distro. I stuck with Ubuntu for years until my hardware couldn't keep up with the demands of the DE. I lived in a minimal, tiling window manager for a few years. Like you, I like how Debian and apt work. So, my first pick for you would be MX.

Don't you have to get a crazy amount of miles on that car to make it worth paying close to six figures? How do most people not just walk away from that kind of deal?
Yeah I mean a significant problem is that many(most?) people including those in the field until very recently thought AIs with these capabilities were many decades if not centuries away and now that people can see the light at the end of the tunnel there is massive Geo-political and Economic incentive to be the first to create one. We think OpenAI vs Deepmind vs Anthropic vs etc. is bad but wait until it's US vs China and we stop talking about billion dollar investments in AI research and get into the Trillions.

Scott's Exxon analogy is almost too bleak to really believe. I hope OpenAI is just ignorant and not intentionally evil.

Good thing then that we have subjective opinions, which chatbots don't.
I visited a Subaru dealer in a high-population area last year and was told that they had one specific model coming in one specific undesirable color coming in about 4 months and asking if I wanted to reserve because it wouldn't last long.

How is this GFYS?

The car you wanted was not on the lot, so you had to factory-order it. That meant a wait. And due to the pandemic-related parts issues, that meant a much longer wait than normal.

Would you have preferred they lie to you, tell you that the car you wanted was just about to arrive, and then string you along for months until it actually did arrive?

(I also ordered a Subaru last year in a high-population area. I had to reserve it in advance, and waited 4 months for it. It's a good thing I did, since that model and trim has been selling immediately as soon as it arrives on the lot: within 250 miles of me, the only available vehicles have been reservations on dealer-orders that were placed by buyers who also placed factory orders.)
I also wrote a game boy emulator recently with the purpose of educating myself. I haven't looked that deep into what games do wrt math, but I was really impressed with all the creative ways they abuse the PPU by changing its various registers mid-frame. "Batman return of the Joker" for example uses this interesting effect of "compressing" the upper portion of the screen when you enter the options menu. It does this by changing the scroll Y to specific values on specific lines.

Though I do have some math-related problems in there. I spent several hours on it but I couldn't figure out how the SBC instruction should affect the carry flags. No matter what I do I can't pass the test ROMs.

But even with that, many of my childhood games are 100% playable. Writing a video game console emulator is a rewarding experience!
Do you also need exactly-once delivery to the database?

Yes, with uniqueness constraint.

the service is no longer stateless too, which means scalability is a problem

Do you have a specific problem in mind?
I honestly had no idea any of those people were still alive.
From my experience it's a lot easier to learn another language than to learn a new model of operation or new concepts entirely. And if you'll want to work with Godot, that will likely be the main barrier, and the main thing that will not be transferable to other contexts. The language however, can only make working with the concepts easier or harder. Godot team has decided that having their own language designed for dealing with the concepts of the engine makes it easier to use and results in less work than trying to adapt some existing language to the concepts of the engine. I've dealt with this a couple times, where a language was transformed so much by the context it was used in, it felt like an entirely different language.
It could be even smaller than a Chinchilla optimal model. The Chinchilla paper was about training the most capable models with the least training compute. If you are optimizing for capability and inference compute you can "over-train" by providing much more data per parameter than even Chinchilla, or you can train a larger model and then distill it to a smaller size. Increasing context size increases inference compute, but the increased capabilities of high context size might allow you to skimp on parameters and lead to a net decrease in compute. There's probably other strategies as well, but those are the ones I know of.
Converting a problem to a new form that you know how to better solve, or at least hope is more tractable, is a time honored mathematical and CS tradition
Verisign’s Role in Securing the DNS Through Key Signing Ceremonies
One of the many things I miss about working at Basho: the engineers had a deep respect for the academic underpinnings of distributed systems. Leslie Lamport might as well have been a former employee considering how much we talked about, and leveraged, his work.
Although I am disappointed that OpenAI is not all gratis and open-source, I don’t think they ever promised to release everything open-source. In my recollection, their purpose is to prevent monopolization of advanced AI in the biggest tech giants and make it available to smaller businesses, and their “capped-profit” model is consistent with that. There is a spectrum of ways to release technology to preventing monopolization (open source, standards with FRAND patent grants, capped profit), and I think it is still honorable to develop a business that democratizes technology more even without going full nonprofit.
It looks like they use Graphite for their time-series database. I love Grafana but fell out with InfluxDB when they rewrote everything in 2.0. Everybody seems to recommend Victoria Metrics these days but I found it too difficult to build the queries I wanted. InfluxDB 1.x with Grafana was something you could teach an intern how to use in a day or two.

I'll have to give Graphite a shot one of these days.

One of my all-time favorites. Highly recommended.
Loved the book. Inspired me to create my own language (definitely not a copy, though), and put the whole experience on YouTube. (Playlist link in my profile.) Technically, I had already written a language twice, but this book convinced me that it might be beneficial to do it again (and fix the things that I didn't like from the previous 2 incarnations) and put it out there for everyone else to see and hopefully benefit from.

The book was very well done, both in artwork, writing style, and explanations.
> The health care system is more capable than ever before

Not to take issue with your main point, but, I’d say that _medicine_ is more capable than ever before, but health care systems are struggling to deliver the benefits to growing populations, for lots of reasons like funding and budgets, education and misinformation, or ideology.

Even React, despite being much slower than SolidJS, etc is rarely the bottleneck. Slow JS apps tend to be doing stupid things like blocking UI updates on network requests or updating state in such a way that triggers repeated re-renders when only one is required.

Isn't that the point though? Tesla in not called OpenSelfDriving because it takes serious cash at this time in history to fund development of that tech. The fact that OpenAI happens to have a name that suggests otherwise doesn't change that fact. And Elon knows that. Therefore, he's just playing the media game right now and trying to detract from their success. Either that or he's just jealous (more likely IMHO) because he can't go along for the ride or claim much real involvement. I say thank God for that. We dodged a collective bullet with that stroke of luck.

I think philosophical literacy is probably higher now than at any point in the past. For one, a greater deal of the philosophical writing is now existent than was in the past. For another, the selection effects have weeded out much of the writing that was bad. For yet another, a far greater percentage of the population is literate than in the past. For yet another, the population is healthier, wealthier, and generally better able to apply themselves to the material than they were in the past. For yet another, being after rather than before the Enlightenment, questioning of assumption is actually a much more prevalent reflex now than it was in the past. For yet another, our information retrieval systems help us do a better job of organizing the and discovering the relevant writing.

I also think philosophical literacy is less relevant than it was in the past. For example, we are talking about how an agent's decision making algorithm is in actuality. Is philosophy the best subject to discuss this? Control theory, learning theory, game theory, scientific investigation into the brain's processes are all mature enough that their usage produces more rewarding outcomes.

So lets say we see what at first glance appears to be degenerate twitch chat zoomer spam about philosophy sus no cap? Are they really philosophically unsophisticated? Or were they raised in a world of such greater philosophical sophistication that self-replicating knowledge structures - like, say, memes, were something they had extreme and constant exposure to? What if they are engaging in some sort of coordinated omegalul gambit?

I'm joking, but I'm kind of serious.

I often find that explaining observed incompetence with genius works better than explaining observed incompetence with incompetence. So I'm more fond of claiming a problem is hard for good reasons then that people just weren't educated - which is also often true, by the way, just explaining why I ended up putting the emphasis somewhere else.

There is just a single module (couple hundred lines of code) that is platform specific. This can be easily ported to Linux and/or MacOS. I had a Linux version running for awhile, but just don't have the resources yet to support multiple platforms for every build.

There are two separate pieces of the project. The 'Engine' code does all the real work of managing the data and executing the queries. The 'Browser App' is used as an Admin/Demo tool which uses the Qt windowing platform. The browser just calls the engine API and makes the data display nicely in the various windows and dialogs.

I will probably open-source the browser code. I am still trying to figure out if and when I will release the engine code using one of the open source licenses. It really depends on if it can get some traction so that it is worth the effort.

1997/Prius hardly seems “behind” everyone when it was groundbreaking.

IMO Toyota has chosen a path that is congruent with the reality that is, not what might be.

I call that pragmatic. Those calling for full electrification right now when we can’t even keep our porch lights illuminated every single night in California, not so pragmatic IMO. Present battery tech requires a huge infrastructure buildout required and I’m not talking about charging solutions for residents of multi-family dwellings.

If such a time should come to pass where those problems are solved, Toyota will at that time capitalize on everyone else’s mistakes and possibly buy solutions like batteries and enter the market then. It’s a basic risk containment strategy.

> From my experience it's not great on Android, but good on iOS.

Huh, that always used to be case (back when the iPhone 4 was the latest model). I'm amazed Android devices haven't solved this yet given that even slow android devices must have faster CPUs than an iPhone 4. Perhaps it's a software issue rather than a hardware one...
What would happen if we took a pill and grew a ton of extra neurons in our digestive system? We’ve got about 100 million neurons in our gut, which is comparable to a duck. I feel like it’d probably just be weird.
In a business context, it usually happens that hardware is cheaper than software (licensing) which is cheaper than engineering labor. Tack on the opportunity cost of delaying business advances/features and it's usually cheaper to just throw hardware at it.

There's a tipping point where you have so much hardware there's big savings with optimization. Things like Postgres and the Linux kernel have a lot of optimization put into them and there's an insane amount of hardware out running that code.

That said, slow software sucks.
