They laid off the entire India team (100+ engineers) yesterday. This is post first layoff, which happened in Feb 2023.

There was no communication/announcement, just straight away received email notifying the same and all access removed.

So 2 hours to figure out there is no way to disable the news other than turn off the whole widget thing.... my computer is rebooing constantly with intrusive unauthorized updates and even firmware updates... everything is broken. Windows just disappear everywhere... oh there was a glitch sign in again... You know, Windows 7 worked pretty good. I think I'll go back.
Hey, co-founder here - we think we've fixed this message delivery issue for Australia. Could you try again and let me know if you're still having issues? Sorry about that!
I’m going to give this a try, but I wish we could just expand the sms protocol and make interoperability a non event. Wishful utopian thinking, I know, but messaging as a protocol would be a much bigger commercial platform than silod apps. Source: the gdp of the internet vs the gdp of the app stores
Beautiful script, but I don't think it should be used in print by default for any language.

I would not be surprised if Iran's use of a clearer script when teaching Farsi in the education system (and in public life and publishing in general) plays a significant role in the higher literacy rates in the country vs. Pakistan insisting on printing everything in the most unreadable nasta'aliq font.
There was "SSL added and removed here :)". Seems a bit more than a crappy web portal.

The bill will ban transactions with foreign companies (in specific instances). Being able to ban (aka regulate) international transactions is nothing like the Patriot Act. The Patriot Act allowed surveillance and secret data collection against US citizens, and made it illegal to notify those being collected against, and all without due process or any kind of warrant, just a letter from the executive branch insisting they needed to collect the data.

If you attempted to bring the government to court to defend your rights, they would simply refuse to admit they collected your information and the court would dismiss the case since there was no way to show harm. There is no way to prevent a financial transaction without revealing that the transaction was prevented, so the cowardly tactics used by the government to avoid scrutiny of the Patriot Act can't be used here.

I would be wary of the comparison between this and the Patriot Act, and I wonder about the motivation of those making it.
We think we've fixed this issue - could you let me know if you're still having trouble getting the SMS? Sorry!

Ha. The reason so many stay is because it is more difficult than ever to leave.

Think about it. Technology has left these people a literal century-plus behind. The longer the Amish exist, the higher the rate of retention will be.

Furthermore, once you leave the Amish community, you are forever renounced by your family and friends. So you're left adrift without any support in a world that has left you behind.

This leads to the question you seem to have ignored. Is longevity itself a positive trait? If an abusive cult existed for hundreds of years, would you call it a success? Hacker News readers should place a higher value on innovation and less on blind faith in tradition, in my opinion.

I support helping people with housing for a year or so to get back on their feet but let's address the elephant in the room.

The government of California is the reason housing is so expensive in the first place. Now they toss a token amount of money at a problem they created.

It's similar to how the US government pays billions to corn farmers to produce corn syrup, which then causes obesity, which the government spends millions to address.

"Data-driven" the way FAANG does it is just design by committee at scale. It will always converge to the blandest design. No one will have an opinion about it.

The flip side to that, at FAANG, is "look, we put the start button in the middle! Eh? Eh?" which I'm sure went through traditional design by committee.

Although it did seem to randomly announce to me just a few times that mine is not compatible with Win11. Which isn't even true, since the TPM chip thing is a completely arbitrary requirement.
I’m not an AI researcher so my answer won’t be satisfying, but I’m pretty confident that meaning is stored in the embeddings, and gun to my head I would say understanding is hiding in the weights. My handwavey argument is that the map of activation weights between layers of neurons can store understanding, in the same way that a complete log of every transaction can store bank account balances (even though there’s no actual “this amount is in this account at this time” information anywhere in that log).
What does it even mean for The Fed to have "negative equity capital"? Firstly, is this "equity" a short term book value vs long term book value thing? Secondly, they can literally print money.

> the Federal Reserve has suffered operating losses of about $42 billion since September 2022

Between 2020 and 2022 they quantitatively eased $2TT+, and then over the last 12 months have actively quantitatively tightened $0.500 TT [0].

$0.042 TT is literally change to them. They can chose at any time to pay it off by stopping the quantitative tightening. Even a quantitative easing at this level would be inconsequential.

Who is benefiting from a scary headline like this? or am I totally misunderstanding something?

Are we sure this is real? Or if it is real - if it is comprehensive?

It just seems so odd to me. If its a personal list that Musk likes then its weird there aren't more of his business associates on it. If its just a list of people who the site feels promote good discussion it just seems arbitrary as well. Why have Woj but not Schefter? Why not have any of the top celebs that use the platform?
Coincidentally I have just started listening to this keynote from the Everything Open conference that was held in Melbourne, Australia a few weeks ago. Seb Chan has had digital curation experience with the likes of the Smithsonian and the Sydney Powerhouse museum. An interesting talk so far, covering important issues like copyright, metadata and transparency. https://youtu.be/Lj6v-eX_D-0

Currently writing a compiler that I want to be production strength, so I read your article. Thank you!

It's interesting that your specifically call out that putting source lines in is not good when most modern compilers seem to be moving the other direction and putting them in.

Do you think it could be a preference thing? Would it be good to have the option for the user to turn it on?

Also, thanks for the tip on the spell checker. That is something I'll add. You said they your just used the current symbol table as a dictionary in another comment; that is a great idea too.
Nothingburger. It’s as valid to be concerned about these accounting losses as it would be to suggest that by removing a source of income from the Treasury it’s fighting inflation.
Yeah, it basically maintains Finder window state.

One thing I've wondered is if this method still makes sense on modern hardware compared to keeping all that information in a centralized sqlite file or something along those lines. I could see individual files being advantageous on a slow mechanical HD where seeking through a file that could eventually grow large might pose issues, but that shouldn't be a problem on an SSD.

The main advantage I can think of that might still be relevant today is that it makes Finder window state machine-independent, so when you open a folder on two different machines it'll still open in list mode sorted by Date Modified or whatever.
Google Maps in my city is awful. There are building outlines that overlap a river in one place. It's been like that for at least 3 years. Some street names are clearly auto-imported from somewhere (wikipedia?) because they have emphasis marks on them. It's like they aren't even trying.
It makes sense if you see this from a psychological, rather than policy, point of view. MAGA _policies_ tend to be regressive (I mean that in a chronological sense, not pejoratively.) In other words a reversion to "make me feel the way I did growing up". Hot-button topics are things like immigration, racism (or more accurately, discussion of racism), education, abortion etc.

Psychologically MAGA appeals to the folk who want to "feel like we're perfect" - emphasis on "feel". It's hard to argue that America has every been "great" - for all Americans. But certainly there's a period where a large chunk of the population _felt_ great.

The current political movement is trying to re-create that feeling. Perhaps the slogan is more like "Make (some parts) of America Feel Great Again". MSPAFGA doesn't quite roll off the tongue though.

Again, I'm not trying to be political here, as much as understand the psychology of the era. MAGA is a sub-set of Americans, and I'm not suggesting that it represents the feelings of everyone in a specific party. But clearly there is some proportion of Americans who resonate with the message - absent any actual policy suggestions.
You're arguing semantics.

15 to 20 years ago the world was on the brink of collapse due to peak oil. And well that didn't happen..... I'm not trying to dismiss the climate change issue, but remember the media loves sensationalist articles, as that's what sells views. And what's more sensational than selling the story that we are on the brink of extinction?

Case in point, if you've watched the news over the past week you'd expect Paris to be a warzone with protests everywhere and the city burning to the ground. A freind visited last week, going to all the usual tourist places, and said they didn't see a single protest or building burning. There was uncollected trash though - in neat piles next to the bins.
The AI/ChatGPT hype is starting to piss me off, it seems like about 50% of HN is now articles about AI. Meanwhile, stuff like the genuinely incredible Unreal Engine 5.2 demo that hit Youtube six days ago only got 14 upvotes on here. What the fuck is going on?

I've been using ChatGPT for the last week or two and it's not got a single coding question I've asked it right. Seems alright as a 'rubber duck' for generating ideas and seems okish for creative writing but for not a hell of a lot else at the minute.

The visual AI art stuff does seem worth the hype though but yeah, I'm feeling burnt out on this shit too. Based on everyone I speak to, I think the majority of people are. The pandemic probably didn't help.
The bengal (Mughals) were at par with the British, technology wise. From Wikipedia

>> Modern views on the decline
Since the 1970s historians have taken multiple approaches to the decline, with little consensus on which factor was dominant. The psychological interpretations emphasise depravity in high places, excessive luxury, and increasingly narrow views that left the rulers unprepared for an external challenge. A Marxist school (led by Irfan Habib and based at Aligarh Muslim University) emphasises excessive exploitation of the peasantry by the rich, which stripped away the will and the means to support the regime.[75] Karen Leonard has focused on the failure of the regime to work with Hindu bankers, whose financial support was increasingly needed; the bankers then helped the Maratha and the British.[76] In a religious interpretation, some scholars argue that the Hindu powers revolted against the rule of a Muslim dynasty.[77] Finally, other scholars argue that the very prosperity of the Empire inspired the provinces to achieve a high degree of independence, thus weakening the imperial court.[78]

Jeffrey G. Williamson has argued that the Indian economy went through deindustrialization in the latter half of the 18th century as an indirect outcome of the collapse of the Mughal Empire, with British rule later causing further deindustrialization.[79] According to Williamson, the decline of the Mughal Empire led to a decline in agricultural productivity, which drove up food prices, then nominal wages, and then textile prices, which led to India losing a share of the world textile market to Britain even before it had superior factory technology.[80] Indian textiles, however, still maintained a competitive advantage over British textiles up until the 19th century.[81]

A random substack article that cites the Mises Caucus [1] and Tim Pool as authorities? Color me shocked that it doesn't make a good argument. I'm open to the idea that this is a bad bill, but this article isn't making a persuasive case.

It seems to mostly work and get out of the way, but there's one thing I'd really like them to add.

There's a way to explicitly compress files if you want. You can get the "afsctool" and run it on the directory with your sources for example and gain some space back. Unfortunately, this gets applied per-file only. There's no way to mark a directory to always compress everything in it. I don't think you can do it per-volume either.

It would be great if those options got exposed to the user. I'm not going to hold any breath though, it may be one of those "Apple knows better" issues.
That is good to know and thanks for the clarification. With this operating at the message level and not the thread or group level, is context still preserved to actually have a conversation with GPT?
Worked. Thanks!
Do you have any recommendations on an example or tutorial on how org-mode this can be useful for time tracking?

I often see it recommended and I like the idea of a light-weight tracker (since I mainly use a .txt document now) - but whenever I read about org-mode it just sounds like a markup language and I know I am missing the powerful part of it.
So you're saying sexual abuse is more prevalent in the Amish community than in the greater society?

This is how I track the time I spent on projects by analyzing the window titles.

1. Create a list of product names and folder names for each client.

2. Change settings of applications/window manager to include more details in window title.

3. Log every window I interact with.

4. If I don't open a window including one of the keywords in the title for x minutes I stop the counter.
> Monetary policy was all but assured to generate Fed profits prior to 2008. That changed once the Fed started paying banks interest on their reserve balances and making large open market purchases of long-maturity Treasurys and mortgage-backed securities

The Fed is currently paying banks 4.9% on their reserves (this rate was always 0% before 2008). and they pay you close to 0% on your checking account. When some people tried to open a competing bank that would pass through this interest rate to depositors the were denied a license by the Fed (https://www.chicagobooth.edu/review/safest-bank-fed-wont-san...). The banking system is pretty much a value destroying subsidy sink at this point.
What a strange post. You realize those empires that practiced polygamy were brutally oppressive, yes? Women didn't so much have a choice as in forced into polygamy because they were treated as property and that's about as far away from the hippy movement as you can get when it comes to individual freedoms.

I don't have a "beef" with Discord, but I have the feeling I really don't get it when I use it.

I joined a couple of servers related to games I play and some sports. But I feel like there's conversations going on that I can't see. Do I need to message some special bot? Do I need an invite or be admitted before I can see some hidden channels? There are voice chats, there are so many settings.

I definitely feel like I need someone to handhold and clue me in to a few more things about it before I feel "comfortable" using it. Discord is a lot to deal with.
> What does it even mean for The Fed to have "negative equity capital"? Firstly, is this "equity" a short term book value vs long term book value thing? Secondly, they can literally print money.

My interpretation of "the fed losing money" is "the fed bought some bonds when interest rates were low, interest rates went up, and now they're worth less, so they took a loss". It's true that they can print more money and therefore won't ever go bankrupt from this, but irrespective of that they're still losing money in an accounting sense.

>Who is benefiting from a scary headline like this? or am I totally misunderstanding something?

The headline is "the fed losing money", not "the fed is going bankrupt". You'd really have to be hysterical to think that the headline is scary.

Yes, it's updatable. You install it as a separate component under "software update" in system preferences.

I can never tell if Apple is trying to kill macOS, but it’s things like this that make me wonder.
This whole article felt like a poor sales pitch.

What wavelength offers:

- Privacy focused (majority of users do not care about this, all modern chat apps have e2ee already)

- Natively runs on Apple devices (without Android/Windows version, good luck getting a large user base, especially with 2 developers)

- An AI chatbot (discord/slack already have this?)

- A groups -> threads -> messages layout. Like they mentioned, the same as slack but less corporate. Seems like a good idea since Slack is pretty awful for personal use.

The article could've done less without the author patting themselves on the back about how amazing their opinions offered were.
Ask HN: Is there a “Yelp for SaaS software/platforms”?
Is there is a “Yelp for SaaS”? (Or replace SaaS with any of “cloud”, “platform”, etc)

I hypothesize that lots of time and effort is being duplicated by teams migrating an integration and wasting a lot of time before realizing a service has severe drawbacks. My most recent project was to integrate AWS Cognito (authentication solution) a few years ago before aspects of it were very immature for customer-facing purposes.

It’s easy to find lots of PR / sales material that focuses on the positive side of platforms (the 5 star reviews). I’m more interested in collecting the 1-3 star reviews as they can help identify likely pitfalls before investing too much hope in one implementation.
Absolutely nothing compared to how much the federal government is "earning" because inflation is running hotter than the average rate of interest on Treasury bonds.

At a 7% rate of inflation and a 2% average interest rate, it amounts to over a trillion dollars a year discharged in terms of real debt owed to the public.

It costs money? Most democratic countries have issues giving away too much money in foreign aid, especially given the budgetary deficits the vast majority of countries are running nowadays.
