I knew this bit of false internet lore was going to come up.

Out of all the things that the justice system was throwing at MS, bundling IE was the least of them and absolutely nothing changed about browser bundling in the US. No there was never a browser choice mandate.
Given that LLMs are prone to making stuff up, we should not be using them to "replace" journalists. However, if as a tool, LLMs could allow journalists to focus on getting and understanding facts, talking to more parties with specific knowledge, etc, and less the writing itself, perhaps we would be well served.
The timing of this post is a bit uncanny.

I left Github last week (removed all of my repositories) and made contributions private. I went further and removed all public mirrors on my personal site (along with all writing and projects on my site).

I have been growing tired of the open source community in general and with a particular distaste for the Github community (and company as a whole).

I won't get into all of my grievances and experiences simply because it doesn't matter and nothing will change.

I decided to focus on creating things for myself. I don't need your stars, green check marks, crappy pull requests and endless issues. Maybe some day I will find the spark to open my personal site back up, but it feels unlikely.
Now I'm planning to try am radio next time I'm driving my car alone
maybe, but at the end of the day, the broadcast of the signal is the least significant bit. you can absolutely set up your control room with all of the equipment to create the broadcast, but ultimately, it is all pushed down an output port that goes to the "transmitter". whether that's an actual FM transmitter or a server that broadcasts the signal, it's the same experience.

it sounds like you're tying the entire pirate experience into the concept of broadcasting illegally without a license. while that might be part of it, it was more about doing whatever, saying whatever, playing whatever. being an illegal signal was just trying to get the signal to where the audience was. The audience isn't there any more is the point.
> there is a possibility that US economic dominance is about to go into hyperdrive.

The USA is an impressive beast in this regard. It just never fails to lead and now with AI it's simply light years ahead of the nearest competitor. There's literally thousands of AI startups here - it's just amazing.

Lots of people like to opine on the downfall of American hegemony and global financial and cultural dominance but I'm a believer in the lesser traveled idea that the American Empire hasn't even begun yet.

All of Western and Central Europe, Israel, Japan, Canada, Mexico, Australia, parts of South America, and a few other places are already vassal states of America as it is. I expect more to become over the coming decades.

Given that it has none of the features that make Nix bearable, and (if my long memory serves) has repeatedly been busted for truck-sized security holes, and, on top of that, has a grammar that makes me long for that old gif of a hexadecimal keypad, because at least hexadecimal is clear, I'd say it failed, badly.
I actually love that. A lot of the design constraints previously were ICE related. I want companies to start experimenting with what we can do now that the power train is greatly simplified.
Yes, that's progress, lucky for some of us, we no longer live in a world of subsistence (living hand to mouth at the mercy of the world around us). The real question is, are we creating additional value i.e. is the value that we developing/building/creating compounding? (You'll see this in increasing GDP per capita and increased productivity) and what proportion of that are we taking? The amount we are taking for our efforts is deteriorating and inequality is widening, eventually it gets to a point where social mobility is halted and you're back to subsistence.
There are some interesting animated variations on this theme:

This is total bullshit. Hydrogen is fundamentally necessary to a green economy. You literally couldn't reach zero emissions without it for industry and energy storage. Same is true of transportation in nearly every sector. People are only sorta excusing it for personal transport but only because rich people can make do with battery cars. But in reality, it's practically necessary for personal transportation too. Not everyone can recharge at home.
Cool, I did not know about this one.
> Those kinds of assumptions are where you explicitly cast to a smaller ranged type

But how exactly do you do that? As mentioned, a and b individually can still reach INT_MAX.

I agree with your overall assessment, though. If a type system could represent (and recognize, and evaluate / automatically draw conclusions from) any possible restriction on the values of variables this would probably amount to the type system being able to carry out arbitrary mathematical proofs. The existence of such a type system seems rather unlikely.
An interesting project, but "Codon" does not trigger any associations with "Python"; I would rather have called it "Monty" or so.
Tesla generally wins at the combination of Range, Charging, Price, and Availability.

The Model 3 starts in the low $40k range. Some of the luxury options you mention are at much higher price points. The vast majority of Tesla’s sales are vehicles below $60k.

Tesla has its charging network which is consistent and reliable compared to some competing networks. The Kia/Hyundai cars are the only ones that really match or beat Tesla’s charging speeds.

The combination of range, charging speed, and charger availability integrated with a smart onboard navigation system that knows the status of chargers and your estimated consumption (including speed, traffic, elevation, weather, etc.) makes for an experience that makes longer trips “just work” more often than some other vehicles.

Tesla also is on track to ship around 2m cars globally this year. Most of the competition are available in much smaller quantities, longer wait lists, and often have dealer markups due to the supply/demand disparity.
I mean, any "pro" grade Dell or Lenovo laptop will last 10 years if it's not dropped or otherwise abused too badly. I've had several. I don't run Windows on them, so don't know how that experience would be. But hardware-wise they hold up. They aren't quite as light and elegant as a Mac but that doesn't matter to me.
"Rational discourse" is the demand of people who cannot grok and need it explained within their epistemology. It is pointless, for they bring no conviction but disbelief and biases; and it is endless because it gives them not food for thought but "rations for argument", which is all their lazy intellect desires.

Countercounterpoint: I doubt that AI will do as well in refactoring as me.

I refactor religiously. I hate code that is subpar, so I'll refactor and refactor. In my current project, I have 180 commits that mention refactoring in the log message, and some of those are huge redesign commits. And I haven't even released it yet!
I was wondering! For an English-speaking audience it feels like it might be a poor brand. It's not exactly a "nice-sounding" name. Though to be fair, they might not be trying to win mindshare, so careful branding might not be a concern.

I appreciate that to a technical audience this can usually feel like a super pedantic bit of nonsense. But for the other 99% of browser users, this kind of thing can matter!

"You should try out the Mullvad browser!"

This is the future - maybe not everywhere, and probably not soon, but it is an eventuality. Also, AI will be treated like encryption - it will become a munition, with the same type of restrictions as munitions (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Export_of_cryptography_from_th...). Governments will keep the best AI for themselves, leaving the goof-nuts ChatGPT type stuff for private citizens.

Then the question becomes did those gun downed humans deserve what they got? And did that massacre result in a greater good? Those are the not-so-pleasant questions the humans will have to ask themselves (probably using AI to help, ironically).
I always do wonder about the reverence shown to billionaires around here, given the quite frankly ludicrous purchase of Twitter ($44bn!!!) and what has happened afterwards I really am not convinced they aren’t just as able as the rest of us.
> it's nice they are saying it's not enough.

Mullvad, who has a reputation in the HN comments for being just like... over the top amazing + great (they swear up and down they don't store traffic logs and if you don't trust them, you can pay anonymously somehow or whatever), is having a "hard time" being profitable/growing

all while

NordVPN, who has a bad reputation in HN comments for being untrustworthy and "not so anonymous", seems more well known (and therefore most likely has more paying customers and makes more money?)

What is that law called in business? when the "less good" offering wins?

True, maybe we are just more able to talk about our problems in relationships, which makes it seem like we are more unhappy overall. Or, maybe most relationships are happy overall, but the subset of people who tend to post things online also tend to have less happy relationships, skewing the dataset.

Burn was and is much much higher than where we will end the year. (I'm learning) there's a lot of work that goes into getting cost out of the business while preserving as much revenue as possible. We just unfortunately haven't been able to cut cost our fast enough without having to be dependent on this next round of funding.
I wasn't around 60-70 years ago, but that is about when my grandparents got married (the 50's). One pair of them divorced in the 70's and the other pair stayed married until my grandmother's death in 2008. I don't think they really liked each other for the last 20-30 years before that though - they rarely spoke to each other. If you're getting your perception of relationships from the popular media of that time, then I'd just say that you should probably look at the media's current relationship ideals and see how well they match up to reality.
This is also total bullshit. A fuel cell car is also an EV. Toyota is pursuing because it is the simply the better idea. People who repeat this bullshit are just brainwashed Tesla fans.

> whether it is ethical or worthwhile to expose patients to the risk of harming their health through the follow up

So you seem to be saying that, in certain cases, if you have a positive test result, then the expected value of taking certain follow-up actions is negative. It follows that a rational actor, knowing this, would not take those actions in that situation. Then isn't the solution for doctors to update their procedures so that they don't take those follow-up actions in those situations (and explain the odds to patients who care)?

The phrasing "expose patients to the risk of harming their health through the follow up" makes it sound like the follow-up is something that automatically and unavoidably just happens, as if no one has any agency in the matter. If that's true, due to some kind of regulations or rules or liability rulings, then that sounds like a problem.

To some extent this is resolved by backpropagating: if the test is just a two-value "positive"/"negative" thing, and you plan to take the same action (i.e. nothing) regardless of the result, then there's no point in taking the test. However, I expect there are also other tests where, say, the test has a "super positive" value (or value range) where you should take action, and a "technically positive" value where you shouldn't act (plus a "negative" value); and the test is worth taking because of the likelihood of "super positive", but that means you do sometimes end up with the "technically positive" result, and must solve the problem of knowing when not to act.
On the books? I mean laws like "you shouldn't make money from OSS made by someone else". The context of this chat.
Solaris is my favorite Tarkovsky film. Some observations:

* When they assist the exhausted Kelvin to his room near the end, his body blocks the light but occasionally his body moves so the light can come through and blind the camera. This parallels the discussion about destroying the visitors with a burst of light.

* Burton's extended unexplained car ride is (in my opinion) a nod to the 2001 star-gate. It's quite brilliant how Tarkovsky shows that what Kubrick achieves with exotic special effects can be achieved with everyday footage if we just look from the right angles and play the right soundtrack.

* In the old footage they watch near the start of the film, we see stylistic artwork of important figures in the background. These would certainly be informed by Tarkovsky's expertise on Orthodox Iconography (see his "Andrei Rublev").

* Interesting to compare and contrast the visitors with Kubrick's "HAL". The visitors are purely physical and totally unaware of where they are/what's going on. HAL is purely mental and totally omniscient. Both raise all kinds of interesting metaphysical questions about personality and the soul.

* The swirling water-plants at the beginning and end of the film are evoked by the paper strips the crew hang up on their ventilators.

* Near the beginning, Kelvin stands outside in pouring rain, as if not noticing it, when he could escape it by walking just a few feet. This becomes very meaningful with part of the twist in the ending.

* Young Burton talks about how gigantic the child he saw in Solaris's ocean was. Later, when the visitor is frozen from the dry-ice suicide attempt, we briefly catch a glimpse of her face reflected in a concave mirror which makes it seem monstrously gigantic.

Right now the entire film is available free on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LutMHAeCfLU&t=5193s (turn on closed captions unless you speak Russian)

My MacBook Air 11-inch from 2015 with 1.7 GHz Dual-Core Intel i7 and 8 GB of RAM is still my main computer. And I love it, and it feels new.

Change Your Password, Get 20% Off

> What should affect whether something is considered is it's likelihood of happening.

Right, which is why I don't spend a lot of time considering a future where "AI content may even be preferable and better than human produces content."

In part because I don't think this is likely at all. But also in part because if it does happen, then there's literally no way to compete with that. My career will be over, and it's unclear that there would be any other careers to switch to.

> If AI will replace you there are steps that can be taken to prevent it from replacing you

I'm having a very hard time seeing what could be done (in the possible future we're talking about).

> changing what you do into something that can't be as easily replaced.

But the possible future we're discussing is one where there isn't anything that I can't be easily replaced at. All that would be left is menial labor.
Windows is annoying largely because Microsoft has insufficient competition. If you want to "do real business", you pretty much have to use Windows. Google was giving MS a run for their money, but seems they mostly backed away for some reason. MS can be a jerk because the penalty for jerk-hood is too small.

What would partially help is a state-ful GUI markup standard so we could run both web and desktop GUI apps smoothly on Windows and other OS's. I realize Java applets tried similar, but they tried to be an entire virtual OS and app platform, biting off more than they could manage. Just focus on being a GUI browser and only a GUI browser, rather than a Swiss army knife. Do one job and do it well.
works for me?
Their EV "plans" is the key word here. None of them can ramp battery and manufacturing quickly enough. They are all talk at this point.

They will absolutely catch up but I've seen a thousand articles about plans but you still can't easily buy EVs without dealer markups and waiting months.

I do really like this design though, love how bold it is.
As a fan of 2001, I was disappointed with 2010. Honest response.

I've rewatched 2001 many times, but never had the urge to rewatch 2010 even once.

WFH may very well be a trap for companies to identify their "least loyal" employees. I've heard in business that if you're not at the table you're not involved. I can see a future where the same will be said about WFH: If you're not at the office you're not involved, a team player, or someone to keep.
