We most certainly don't, but it's an interesting thought exercise whether it's a better model than everything else we have seen so far. Of course, it asks for very different trade-offs. For instance, you should be willing to forgoe libel/slander laws and allow people to smear the shit out of each other. It means people will need to figure out for themselves whom to listen to, but honestly, I don't think the situation is any different today.

It also means scrutinising things like copyright and questioning whether they are a net value to society. These policies have since forever been driven by corporations to serve their own interests. There's good arguments to be made that their concerns about loss in revenue are largely overblown. You can implement policies that restrict monetisation of copyright content without putting restrictions on what individuals can express.

Of course these are fairly naive ideas, and there are likely many more problems we haven't touched here, but the point is that there are options. It is worth thinking about them because the alternative as we see doesn't seem to be working out. There's a trend around the world where countries are moving more and more towards authoritarianism. At the same time, the wealth gap is ever increasing and I don't think these two are unrelated. I think the common people are getting an overall raw deal on this planet and really need to think through what policies will benefit them most.

GTK4 got a massive macOS rewrite and is in the best position it has ever been. It has no big users yet and could use some contributions though to quickly catch regressions.

> Moreover you can't even assume the colon and alternate data streams are even a thing on the file system - it's an NTFS feature. So you gotta query the file system name first. And if the file system is something else with its own special syntax you don't know, then in general you can't find the file name and strip the last component at all.

If the :stream syntax is not FS-specific then you can parse the data stream name out statically in almost every case. Yes, you have to work out the prefix, but you can mostly do that statically too, I think:

> In fact this might not even be the worst thing - it's even worse than this because you first need to strip off the prefix that represent the volume (like C:\) before you can look for a colon. But the prefix can be something like \\.\C:\ or \\.\HarddiskVolume2\, or even \\?\GLOBALROOT\DosDevices\HarddiskVolume2\. Or it can be any mount point inside another volume! Which I think means it's impossible to figure out the prefix length without performing syscalls on the target system, and that the answer might vary if the mounts change at run time.

The prefix of `\\.\C:\Foo:Bar` is `\\.\C:` as `C:` couldn't be a file name. The prefix of `\\.\HarddiskVolume2\Foo:Bar` is `\\.\HarddiskVolume2` because the volume name ends at the backslash. The prefix of `\\?\GLOBALROOT\DosDevices\HarddiskVolume2\Foo:Bar`... can be harder to determine but it doesn't matter because clearly there is no letter drive name in sight since a letter drive name would be... a single letter, but if the volume name were a single letter then it might require using system calls to resolve it (`\\?\GLOBALROOT\DosDevices\X\Y:Z\A:B` is harder to parse because X might be the volume name, or maybe Y: might be the letter drive and X might be part of the path prefix).

I'm kind of surprised the JD doesn't describe more qualifications and requirements. It's a pretty high level role.
Yes that's what they're thinking of (activating developer mode).

Sideloading does require several clicks though. First you download the APK, then you "open" the file in the installer. Then you have to allow "installation from unkown sources," then allow for the app that you downloaded it with (for me that's usually firefox, but for most it's probably Chrome), then you can install it.
The fact that anybody here would say "she's too mentally feeble to be responsible for herself" to "my mom would be confused by this tech thing" really says a lot about the type of people here at Hacker News.
And often subsidizing the drivers... a marketplace like Lyft or Uber is only lucrative when there's a lot of volume. Otherwise, you're constantly trying to keep a doom loop from happening when there isn't enough supply (drivers) which makes riders upset or not enough riders, which drives drivers (sorry) off the platform.
More new GTK4 applications have been made in the past year than GTK3 in the previous 5 years. It is a big success.
I had a BMW series 3. 61mpg is 3.8l/100km and that's… dreamland. You can probably achieve that in ideal conditions, driving 50km/h on a highway.

Very few people check the facts, and the only reliable way to know yourself is to take notes at the pump: gas pumped vs km travelled. I did check for a while and the numbers were quite different :-)

On a related note, for the VW ID.4, the manufacturer states 17kWh/100km which is actually achievable (much to my surprise) in city driving when it isn't cold. My real numbers are closer to 21kWh/100km. This goes up really quickly if you exceed 130km/h.

You can set the filter to "private" and get your focused collection. Or somebody interested in fictional political brands can filter by political and get their focused collection.
Yep. Or the "USA PATRIOT" Act, as it's full name spells. "Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism". But by calling it "patriot", it implies that you're not a patriot if you don't support it.

Never mind that modern American "patriotism" isn't anything of the sort, but is much closer to nationalism.
I work for an academic publisher, so I’m deeply biased, but I’ll say this: criticism usually consists of something like “it doesn’t cost $6300 to publish one article”, and that’s true, but, it does cost that much to receive 15 articles for submission, peer review all of them, reject 14 and then publish 1. Remember: publishers don’t charge for a rejected submission, but incurs costs with all of them.

As someone who has spent the last 15 years living abroad in various countries, and socializing with local people, I've begun to realize that the things you see online are heavily controlled by many factors. Dictators are one party that I feel strongly shouldn't have the power to censor what I say do. But I also don't want Mark Zuckerberg or Capital One bank or Digital Ocean to censor what I can see, but they all do it and I don't think that's any better.

Greg Brockman's TED Talk: The inside story of ChatGPT's astonishing potential
As others have pointed out, Google Play isn't as locked down as the App Store so there isn't the same incentive.

But the biggest question that always gets me is why anyone who considers the Android way fine would want to change Apple? Simply stay with Android and let others be. Changing Apple makes it just another Android-- you can't have your cake and eat it too.
"growth"

I'm starting to think that many companies seem to define "growth" in terms of headcount, rather than revenue or marketshare, and that they overhire based on a perception of needing to grow the company whether they need the people or not.
Can you test any of this logic?
I've been using it extensively and never once found ChatGPT to produce working code when the ask is just above basic. It might have to do with subject matter. It usually is close enough but my experience has been what you've found with Bard - missing arguments, phantom methods, etc.

Disclaimer: I'm the OP, but not the app creator.

I posted this to HN because I've had T1D for 30 years (since I was 8) and been a heavy tech enthusiast for nearly that amount of time. It's not often that I see those worlds collide and thought others would be interested not only in the app itself, but part of the personal story behind the developer.

To address some of the comments about the app's functionality ands why it's compelling, here's why I like it and am giving it a shot:

- I use a CGM (Dexcom G6) which reports info to HealthKit (although on a 3-hour delay, don't get me started)

- I'm an Apple Watch user who tracks both sleep and workouts

- This app provides a simple way to retroactively see what my BG was doing during both sleep and workouts. Yes, you can get this information through other solutions or by time matching against a more detailed graph, but this app provides a much easier, lightweight way to do it IMO.

- I've played with solutions like nightscout, but found them overall to be tricky to set up and maintain and don't think they are good solutions for the average person. I'll probably take another look as a weekend project since it's been a while.

- Glooko, Tidepool (which I'm familiar with) and many other apps have excellent reports, but IMO are still fairly heavyweight for what I am looking to get.

Overall, I think that this is a great start for an app and is made by a solo, indie, T1D developer who is actively soliciting feedback.

I support them in those pursuits :-)

The problem with all of these arguments is that literally no one is doing this at any scale on Android where sideloading has existed since the very beginning. There's literally zero reason to believe that if sideloading was allowed on iOS this would suddenly become a problem.

Yes, APs will each get an IP.

In addition to some of the other great comments here, I'd mention that whatever you choose to do, every career path and job has its tradeoffs that you'll have to learn to work with.

I've spent most of my professional career as a front-end software engineer and started hating it a few years ago--thought I'd be happier as a plumber, electrician, or even a paralegal: I wanted to get away from screens, to do something practical, straightforward, and more people-oriented.

Then I did my research, took a few courses, talked to tradesmen, paralegals, and lawyers, and came out the other side realizing that working in tech isn't so bad, and that a lot of what I disliked about it could be mitigated from within the profession, without my having to start from scratch.

All that being said, to answer your question (which is admittedly very individual and hard to answer as a stranger) I'd say be an entrepreneur. Technology (including AI) empowers us as individuals to be far more productive and capable. Leverage this to your advantage and avoid the bullshit of office politics and bosses. Foster your curiosity and creativity, learn how to think, and how to tackle complex problems. Find cool opportunities that present themselves in the constantly shifting landscape our economy has become. You'll never be irrelevant.

There are a lot of good arguments [0] that peer review doesn't work, and leads to worse outcomes than just publishing openly and letting the marketplace of ideas decide which papers are actually worthwhile. Think about it. A small group of gatekeepers decides what research is worthwhile and what is not. How well does that kind of gatekeeping work in other areas? For example, Einstein only had one paper peer reviewed (which was rejected) and things turned out well for him. What if his papers had gone through a committee?

To me, I think the issue is that people hear what they want to hear. It has nothing to do with censorship. Internet is huge, if ppl want unbiased view, they can get it, but for most ppl, echo chamber is better.
> You can’t “just say no” to network effects, though

Oh? So are you saying that monopoly power is a real thing, and that a company like Apple can extract a 30% monopoly fee, because of this network effect?

The problem with this argument is that Apple fans on one hand have been smugly commenting for a decade, "go but an Android" or "just don't publish on the iPhone" .

And now, they are turning around and suddenly discovering what market power is.

If Apple had merely reduced their 30% fee to 5% from the beginning, we wouldn't be in the situation.

But thems the breaks. Now every Apple fans will have to hear the same exact argument, that they used against others, for a decade, thrown back in their face.
Why do Kentuckians keep re-electing Mitch McConnell?
I'm non religious too and I take your point, but to play devil's advocate -- Most of civilization and the ability for humans to live and cooperate together in large groups, requires us to move past our base wants, desires and the actions they would create.

Even if you want to burn down my house and murder me because I wronged you or slighted your family, that's not morally correct. We have secular law to codify what we see as morally right and I think it makes sense that before states really existed or unified people through national myths, that function was served by Gods
Facebook is based in the US, so of course it'll go by US standards. The tech companies in the article aren't based in India or China.

The EV Architecture
A lot of these companies might have millions in funding in the bank, no need to show quarterly returns to the public, and a load of experienced tech workers have just hit the market who may be able to be snapped up for less than before. I think it makes sense.
1 - companies are deploying real products internally for productivity, especially technical and customer support, and in data science to enable internal people to query their data warehouse in natural language. I know of 2 very large companies with the first in production and 1 with the second, and those are just ones I'm aware of.
2 - you are conflating the problems of engineering a system to do a thing for billions of users (an incredibly rare situation requiring herculean effort regardless of the underlying product) with the ability of a technology to do a thing. The above mentioned systems couldn't handle billions of users. So what? The vast majority of useful enterprise saas could not handle a billion users.
The market will force their hand. If your competitor replaces its entire customer service with AI agents that talk like real people with an American accent (the tech is almost there) and reports lower costs and higher profits, you will have no choice but to follow along.

India’s tech sector is almost entirely dominated by low paid, low skilled tech labor. TCS and Infosys combined employ over a million people.

To give you an indication of the skill gap, a fresh college graduate who joins TCS usually gets $4,500-5,000 per year. Meanwhile a VC funded startup product company will usually pay $30-40,000 per year.

I really don’t see how these $5k/year employees aren’t replaced by AI agents.
Well to add wireless to a miniPC router, I was meaning to buy APs like these:

Or you can get APs that support a mesh configuration and set them up wherever with 1 connected to your switch.

My parents got me an Atari 800XL for my 8th birthday in 1985. It came with a very terse list of Basic commands along with a few program listings from which I learned how to program.

Eliezer Yudkowsky – Is Artificial General Intelligence Too Dangerous to Build?
>The first facebook issue that you mention is unrelated to the App Store, it’s an OS restriction. Side loading won’t affect this.

Your sentences above are a prime example of a technology mindset being so familiar with the underlying technology that it actually handicaps the analysis of how people might use the tech in ways you don't expect.

The way the sideloaded app gets around the os-level restriction is that they would force users to give permission to the ad-tracking. Otherwise, the sideloaded app has crippled functionality.

That scenario can't happen on Apple's offical App Store because their policies don't allow apps to have crippled functionality when users opt-out of ad tracking.

The theme is that the side-loaded apps can exercise way more freedom with clever psychological dark patterns that bypasses os-level settings.

E.g. see related example from Twitter: https://www.techgoing.com/twitter-ads-may-track-users-in-vio...

> Testability, tooling and the open-source ecosystem and either bad or non-existent

If you're properly testing the code in your application that exercises persistence, that means your test harness runs a real database like the one you're running in production and thus you can also write the database logic tests using your own application's testing facilities.

Of the things you listed, "the database sends e-mail" is the only one where I'd think you'd have to change the code at all, and have the database go through a mockable middle-man so that it becomes testable; but everything else can be comfortably tested from a test suite that is able to talk to a real database.

$141 for 128GB ram + 2x 2TB NVMe SSD, and a very fine 16 core chip with gobs of cache. This is a pretty solid offering.
If you get a 1 year up front price reserve instance (lot of caveats there), a aws m5ad.2xlarge is $176/mo. 32GiB, 8vCPU, and a 300GB NVMe ssd on a 2019 era Epyc. That's the best offer I could find from AWS for something near that price point. Having 4x the RAM, way more SSD space, and 2x the cores, on a dedicated machine sounds great. And it makes sense as an offering, is a reasonable offer, attainable.

Hopefully these come to more than the 1 data-center! :) Hopefully we see more competitors offering great stuff like this. Wild that this easily a sub $2000 box, $700 cpu, $200 ram, couple hundred for ssd and mobo and case.
The thing is, Apple still controls how apps may be sideloaded, and what permissions those apps can use at the OS level. They have no obligation to make sideloading an easy process.
Maybe part of the problem is that people are waiting for some fictional entity to solve their problems.

The Hyundai Kona EV battery has a energy density of 141.3 Wh/kg and range of 414 km, give or take. 500 / 141.3 * 414 km = 1,465 km.

Is that around the expected range, presuming a new battery is a drop-in replacement?

Lithium-air has an energy density of 11,140 Wh/kg, yielding 32,639 km, which doesn't seem possible.
