Relative to what? Other corporations that are comparably successful? Some ideal notion of what a corporation can be?

Yes, there are massive problems with most large corporations: being more powerful than most countries, having legal "personhood" in the United States at least, a generally unchecked tendency to acquire competitors, poor unionization, outsized influence via lobbying, poor privacy protections, tax avoidance, gaming local and even national jurisdictions for tax benefits, profiting off long-term national R&D without meaningfully giving back to educational or equity initiatives.

I'm not "blaming" them to be clear. These are systemic problems. The world will have to change a lot of fundamental rules and incentives if we want to see significant change. I'm not holding my breath.

It isn't all bad. I just keep telling myself that.

If i recall correctly, they have the same name because they were once the same project. Renaming would likely break many workflows/bookmarks that people use to tell the difference. Maybe mirroring the existing repo to another with origin in the name would be a compromise?
DragonflyDB cofounder here. I am not shy about our choice of license.
Like with software design, everything is about trade-offs. Folks here voiced reasons why we chose BSL. I am sure you perfectly aware about all this.

I do not know personally you but I noticed that you posted the link to the announcement. I am guessing you are passionate about the technology and innovation. Dragonfly is much more than the licensing choice we made. I wish HN discussions here were about how fibers work in Dragonfly and how SSD tiering is gonna be implemented and how we provide atomicity for lua scripts while running many of them in parallel etc.
Btw, Dragonfly relies on an io-engine called helio (roughly equivalent to tokio) that has been developed by me and open sourced under Apache 2.0.

If the pandemic MANDATEs new isolation systems, I have to build them, whether you charge me a fair price for lumber I am now required to purchase or you choose to jack the price up. My only other option is to CLOSE MY BUSINESS. You definitely price gauged, your company acted shady and is not a responsible member of society. Flat out. Period. You took advantage of government mandated demand that was in response to keeping people safe in order for you to make more $$$. Your business is a profiter at others expense.

"SDCs clearly aren't ready for L5 deployment" Apologies for the tangent to the OP topic. The metric to watch is 'insurance damage per million miles driven'. At some point SDCs will overperform the human driver pool, possibly by a large margin. Wouldn't that be the point where SDCs are clearly ready for L5? Not even sure if that point is in the past or the future, does anyone -- not named Elon ;) -- have reasonably up-to-date trend charts and willing to share?
jump (https://github.com/gsamokovarov/jump) is something I use as I didn’t know about Alt-C. Highly recommended
My point is that people don't consume calories they eat meals. The foods people eat, especially staple foods, are important parts of their lives. We can't guarantee every staple be cheap obviously, but a lot of these things are staples in the first place because they are cheap and widely available.

If you're eating for example beans and rice as the base of your diet you're already near the bottom of possible prices for sustenance. Sure junk food is cheaper per calorie in the short term, but we don't have public healthcare where I live and you're just signing up to be publicly shamed for your health problems later.

Here we are on a text only board - how is that changing expectations.

Quoting parts of older posing is one of the strengths of NNTP clients, they all to it in a common way.

A single USENET was one of the great benefits I don't like going to many different places to get information. I would not that good clients could deal with multiple servers and for us techies things like leafnode made multiple servers easy.

Altering things after posting is a nasty thing - how often do people take snapshots of Twitter so when it is deleted then you can show what someone had done nefariously,

At least Google has an account switcher. I’m looking at you, AWS. (I’m currently launching a project on Google Cloud, and I’m picking it over AWS primarily because the AWS console’s account management is so terrible [0]. There are only so many hours in the day, and the whole point of paying a 4-40x markup for the cloud is to reduce workload.)

Not that Google’s account switcher has ever been particularly good.

[0] Not just the console. AWS organizations are sort of okay, but you still need to give every account an email address. Seriously, Amazon? I bet you could invent a new subtype of account called, say, “project”, where a project has a name, does not have an email address, does not have a root non-IAM user, and is only accessed via IAM roles. And I bet you could, with more effort, teach the console to accept a URL prefix that encodes the name of an account and a role and gives a console view with that role assumed without globally assuming that role. And then I could administer a VPC according to current best practices, from the console, without cursing at multi-account containers and needing to correctly type the account and role every time I want to do anything.
Kind of. It gets you close.

With the Builder pattern, you can easily define complex relationships for your class inner state. Like maybe if A & B are specified, then C shouldn't be specified. But if C is specified, then D should have a default value. Etc.

These types of initialization requirements are not easily duplicated with C# init-only construction. Instead, in C# you have to rely on the callers to know exactly how to correctly instantiate your class, including all the complex logic like in the example above.

So yes, C# init-only setters are kind of the best option you have. You can still create a C# FooBuilder for a Foo class. But generally C# programmers want to go out of their way to directly instantiate a Foo, and the number of bugs you get from this is crazy. It's a culture thing, honestly, not as much a language problem.

My two cents.

The first article about the lubricant company included references to Spermaceti and included the exploding whale video. Many people on HN like to grab a link from an article on the front page and post that in hopes of also getting on the front page. It often works

That just shows how far ahead Microsoft is on that one.
Honestly, I'm okay with some caution here - but it does seem overly restrictive.

I got the blocked message for both of the following prompts:

The second one in particular surprised me, though maybe it detected it as a likely attempt to circumvent the block of the first.

Author here: I'd like to think it's a little bit of both, but mostly "here's a silly hack." I tried to separate the marketing from the content as cleanly and honestly as possible.

I'll give you a peek inside my head, and you can decide if you trust me to be telling the truth.

I did this silly hack because I wanted to hold a copy of my book. I knew it was crazy when I was doing it, and that there were simpler/better ways of accomplishing the same goal. But I was surprised that (1) it worked at all, and (2) it came out as well as it did – though you can certainly find people in the comments here who can identify the flaws.

I did not do this silly hack because I wanted to use it to write a marketing post. That would be an extraordinarily convoluted way of going about things, even for me.

Anyhow, I like writing, and I like sharing my writing, so I put together this post about something I did that I found interesting. I don't expect everyone to enjoy it, but it seems like some people found it entertaining and/or learned a little bit about CSS.

And yes, I included two links to my book. Given that the existence of the book is central to my motivation to pursue the project, it would be silly not to at least mention it. So I did, one link at the top where I think it's relevant context, and an actual "pitch" at the bottom, separated from the other content/called out explicitly so anyone allergic to marketing could bail. I'm not being snarky; I personally dislike marketing and hate most of the ways it's done.

And even still, I do feel conflicted. I grew up in the 90s, and I miss that old, pre-commerce internet populated by hobbyists. Maybe I should have left the pitch out.

Barry Duncan owned a Palm once in his life, for sure.
Private meet budgets way more often, because there's a finite amount of money. Lenders sign term sheets detailing exactly how much money they'll lend and on what terms, so the developer has precisely that amount of money to spend. It's a big deal to need more funds, because it requires a ton of legal work, probably new banks, new agreements, new terms, etc - all of which might conflict with the existing funding structure.

So yeah private ones usually do meet budget.

I agree it's challenging, but that doesn't stop me wishing for a world where stalking everybody on the planet, publishing outrage-bait, and spreading conspiracy theories is not a massively profitable business.
The demand was driven by REQUIRED construction to meet safety measures. Instead of the attack on 'free money' he thinks he is making he is showing that his company profited from big government (IE rent seeking).
Phind is pretty impressive, I wonder what proprietary models it uses, GPT?
What do you mean by "the normal line", and how is it possible for the patdown process to be faster? I have never gone through a TSA body scanner, but I go through the same security line as everyone else, and there's always a short wait for the TSA to call someone up for the "assist". I wonder what you're doing differently.
I'm sure that's a no. When you license a stock image you license it for any use whatsoever. You don't get to complain if it becomes the background to a porn movie or an advert for a product or person you despise. Songs can licensed on a case-by-case basis but images are so plentiful as to be a commodity.
Nvidia Ada Lovelace RTX Workstation GPUs: Laptops; Desktop RTX 4000 SFF
I agree with all of this.

However, I would still maintain that it is useful (necessary?) to differentiate between measurement and diagnosis.

Excess deaths will remain an excellent (proxy) measurement for the extent to which we are satisfying (at least) the 3 goals you mentioned.

Excess deaths (by themselves) are not useful for diagnosing the causes of their off-normal value.
> However, it helped me discover interesting dress styles that work with my face, which could be another potential use for this technology

There are many caveats with that usage (not everyone built same) but I would agree this is an interesting idea and definetly should be explored.
Ask HN: Code Reviews as a Solo Developer
My first job out of school as been as the sole developer in a small company. I've been here almost a year now, and have created a couple of projects from the ground-up which are running in production day-to-day within the company.

My problem is, how do I make sure I am always creating good code? The one metric I have to determine if I'm making a good product is if it works. As I am the only developer, there's no one to review my code, to bounce ideas off of.

Has anyone else been in a similar position? How do you ensure you're not making foolish mistakes that you've become blind to?
Because the software is only allowed to be used on company computers and a few personal devices which have to be approved by upper management. It isn't fingerprinting the person or the public. It's checking that the software is running on a known/approved machine.
> As with all of these articles that follow this same script, the author conflates "the metaverse" and all of the monetary investment being made in Reality Labs with just Horizon Worlds. Makes it hard to take anything said in this article seriously.

The author wrote about his experience using the system as designed and promoted towards end users. This isn't some deep business analysis or some investigation into the lesser-known corners of VR development, it's a normal user wanting to try out "the metaverse" as promoted by the global megacorporation "Meta."

It's reasonable to want other kinds of reporting as well, but there's a lot to learn from a user recounting their own personal experiences in the space. You don't get a second chance to make a first impression, and if this is what users on the happy path will see, their disappointment is completely understandable.

Honestly, it's probably not a bad idea if you do it today. Remember that desperate AI presentation they gave a month or two ago? Their stock tanked after that, but it was a day or two after it showed up on HN. So, assuming investors haven't noticed how shit this is yet, you might be ahead of the game if you short it now.
Right, and that guideline is specifically about comments and not top level submissions. Which is why I said the guidelines touch on the topic, but maybe don't address this particular submission specifically.
I don't think most commercial users are in the business of purposefully breaking licensing agreements. Even small startups have to worry about this because it generally comes up in due diligence for VC investment. The risk of a future lawsuit, even if small, generally outweigh the savings.

>I'm a little tired of the arguments that the large language models are just regurgitating memorized output

The arguments are valid and you haven’t provided a single counterpoint. Data leakage is a well known problem in machine learning and OpenAI has seemingly done very little to mitigate against it.
> How many presidents have held onto power in the US history?

I see the point you're driving at but the democratic institution of the US has explicit guard rails against this. We force presidents to step down because we _know_ that voluntary relinquishing of power is unlikely.

I do see money as a proxy for power. If you make enough of it you can influence public opinion, enrich or destroy education, buy twitter, etc.
We have an IoT command server and connecting to one of the devices (for maintenance, logs or whatever) involved two manual lookups in the output of two commands and then finding your match in both. I was sick of this one day and with some grep, sed, awk and finally fzf, you could just sort of type the device's name and press "enter" to connect.

People's reaction when I showed them was basically WHAT IS THIS MAGIC?!?
Light beer and wine have been preferable drinks if not life-savers even for minors in most of Europe since at least medieval times because of the antibiotic/sterilizing effect compared to tap water.
Plenty of companies do fake agile where they want an estimate of the complete project before its even fully scoped. Often, that estimate is made up by someone who has no idea about software engineering, like sales or the CEO. Then the sprints are made to "conform" to the estimate. Eventually someone figures out the original estimate was completely wrong and someone else wonders why the project is "late." Often, something have baked is delivered, "meeting the deadline" is celebrated, then another X weeks is spent "fixing bugs."
Not only legitimate. Also better for many scenarios. Not only when you consider your existing workforce but also hire new people. It is so much easier if you onboard someone into something which is procedural at its heart and everyone can translate their core C/C++/JS/PHP/Python/Perl/... procedural programming into Java and C#. The reason async/await is so accepted there is because of exactly that.

Try throwing someone into a Go project with a C background. Until they learn the way of concurrency there, a lot of time is gone. Or even go one step further and throw a generic procedural coder into something like F# or Haskell. Or take the example of reactive UIs: It took the industry a decade to move from MVP based UI frameworks to reactive based UI platforms and we are far from being done with that move. Angular literal reactive-under-the-hood existence is due to that fact that people love to work with their traditional ways and are more productive in them.
And how does that invalidate his technical expertise?

More importantly, was he charged and convicted with anything?

I am getting really tired of this public opinion tribunal, where mere accusation is enough to get a person out of their position. This is not how this is supposed to work at all.

Just take the legal risk and launch globally. Yes, some country might have some obscure law about AI chatbots imitating veterans during Ramadan... And if that's the case, then just pay the fine, patch the software, and move on.

Better than have the whole product fail because competitors won the market with a global launch.
The performance is leagues ahead of chatgpt. It's really quick and can also Google information with like 0 delay.
Consider Phlebas was such an odd entry point into the Culture series. In a way it makes more sense as a prequel, to be read after you understand the world and the general conceit of the series. In fact, I think Consider Phlebas is better upon rereading than it was going in cold. In this light, I'm kind of surprised I went on to read the other books after starting with this one. But, I'm incredibly glad I did, and I recommend them to anyone with an interest in far-future sociological sci-fi.
There are two problems with this approach.

First, there are more comments that are either factually wrong or interpersonally toxic than I have time to reply to. Downvoting is quick.

Second is the recursion problem. If I downvote and reply "factually wrong", then some people (either trolls or mistaken) may downvote my reply and say "no, you're wrong!" To say the least, that doesn't lead to a productive conversation.
The rules are fine, the stupidity is latent and revealed:

1. New construction must meet ADA requirements.
2. Old construction can remain.
3. Repairing broken old construction requires meeting ADA requirements.

So between 2 and 3 you end up with broken old construction that cannot be repaired to "what it was" because repairs must meet ADA requirements.

Each step makes sense on its own, but combined they result in something worse (in particular) even though overall it works out better.
Ad platforms aren't that stupid.
RIP. I'm really sad about this, and it's actually something that finally makes me question the Amazon monopoly. Amazon spends so much money on meh (IMO) Prime Video content yet can't keep this site online as an archive.

I know that phone cameras have taken over the market in the last decade. For wide-angle lenses, they're great, but iPhones can't quite keep up (yet) with 200-300mm telephotos so I still browsed the site regularly.

I'm sure some YouTubers might pick up the slack but I hate still camera YouTube reviews because you can't download the files or check image quality for yourself (DPR has this studio scene where you could compare image quality at 100% side-by-side with different cameras at different ISO's).
Leibniz did that from memory, although the stoics deserve the credit for propositional logic (which can be reduced to a collection of truth tables). and contrary to popular belief Boole actually extended Aristotle’s syllogisms (reduced the conventional syllogisms to computation using matrices of 1s and 0s) rather than create a today’s binary logic.
I think it was an oblique joke.

True, but it was the innovator and early adopter community who were originally the first to embrace Google back in the late 90s/early 2000s. Don't want to lose them if at all possible, if only to keep them from migrating to some other cool new thing and building it up.

Heard much the same about weed; often cheaper to buy from a local, uh, "specialist" than get nailed for higher taxes at retailers.

20 years ago your local specialist was had a lot of risk, too. Cops, guns, general shadiness, etc. Now most cops DGAF for anything under giant quantities, and even then it's a regulatory thing, so they're not tracking down the local weedman. No risk, and better prices.
