"Meaning" sure, but the actual words? I'm not being hostile, dude, I'm genuinely curious to see examples. Of course translations vary, but I was under the impression that the actual text of the translations didn't vary substantially (like "thou shalt not kill" became "you will not kill", etc.). But I don't have the bible memorized, so there may be more to it than I'm aware.
So they didn't have sync for years, presumably because they felt like it was insecure - and when they finally add it, it's not E2E encrypted

Most web apps don't use human readable text. It's all heavily minified and the textual nature is just pure downside: slower and harder to parse than binary, more bloated, harder to implement.

> It's because of this and that, hundreds of excuses that dance around the simple truth: you're an incompetent programmer.

Classic arrogance and naivety from a Casey follower. Name call all you want, you can't hand wave the reality that the business determines the requirements, and in my industry they don't care about performance until it's a noticeable problem. Oh and the requirements they gave you are solving problem X when they really want to solve problem Y, so your optimal solution to problem X needs to be deleted.

I write correct, readable code as performant as it can be in the time I'm allotted. Call me incompetent, but it's what I'm hired to do.

All this bickering and harsh feelings are stemming from the author's inability to understand that different industries have different priorities.

It allows them to mine your data better... if you store anything on dropbox, its been catalogued and read.
Ironically, this article sets up a strawman of people who claim performance NEVER matters, and then rants long windedly in a tone suggesting it always matters.

My general principle: don’t give uni-directional advice when optimizing a u-shaped loss function.

I usually find that those failing to advocate the nuanced position “you can spend too much AND too little time on perf, here is how to prioritize” are not adding useful information to the conversation.

The truth is, most startups don’t need to worry much about perf. It’s a feature that your customers don’t usually ask for at first. At the other end of the scale, giant companies invest huge sums in taming performance. And your own situation will have more parameters than just that one simplified spectrum.

Measure ROI honestly, and prioritize accordingly!
Not all that interesting but I recently built a server for 2FA.

It mainly consists of a simple CLI utility that generates TOTP codes using an AES encrypted lookup table of secrets.

I piggybacked access to this off an unrelated web site and it is now readily available from any device if you can provide the decrypt and lookup key and know the URL.

So hopeful. People are so hopeful that AI will pan out favorably for them, even when their arguments are a stretch.

On this thread, there’s the following sentiment… “Dropbox has access to your data so they are well positioned to do some AI stuff on your data.” But also you have your data so you could work with really any party you want, and Dropbox has few advantages by being an existing custodian. Custodian status probably is not the differentiating factor in a race to build AI tools.

AI optimism. I just don’t see the argument. I don’t see how it is good for Dropbox, or the enthusiastic pundits, or even me! (I use the tools, too, but my income and quality of life have not skyrocketed.) My suspicion is that things like Dropbox laying off 16% becoming part of the AI optimism narrative – and AI optimism in general – has little to do with the prospects of AI and much to do with the reactive patterns of opinionated storytellers.

Specifically, I think people enthusiastic about AI prospects are enthusiastic because it is the one empowering (encouraging) response they can take… not because it is warranted. That’s not criticism, just an exploration, and I’m well-aware that I could be wrong.

This is a layoff announcement. We shouldn’t expect any AI realism from it.
My point was that nobody has ever used household for two houses. Ever. If you can find a place that has been done, I'd be swayed. But I have never ever seen that. The definition posted above has family/social unit and house/dwelling unit. Reading that as one of those being plural is awkward and feels flat out in bad faith to conversation.

Now, I will fully cede that Netflix has redefined their terms and are also at fault in this whole fiasco. They are the ones that tried to build on the back of goodwill by allowing a much more open sharing policy than anything else was ever capable of doing.

Just the temporal properties alone make it very useful for anything where it matters like billing, finance, inventory. Else you are in views/schema/indexing hell to do it on top of SQL.

There is some SQL temporal support but it's not great and varies a lot. Also since it's not native to the storage it has a lot of complexity issues under the rug making it not great.

Also some of us here work at public companies and these systems are under scope since finance needs away to share/edit financial documents with each other. These big firms have soc1s. Running our own infra would put that infra under scope which is a huge burden.
It is certainly a strong argument that "move fast and break things" create a lot of code that needs to be rewritten.

He's not called that in the book. People constantly say he is, with an air of authority, but go read it yourself. Go do a search on the Project Gutenberg text. He's just called Jim. Not once is there any instance in the book where anyone takes his name to be anything other than Jim. I don't know where this popular misconception was invented. Yes, the racial term is said in the book, but not as part of his name.
1kg mass and a 2kg mass do not fall at the same rate. The Gravitational force is (G*m1*m2)/r^2. You are observing that m1 (the earth) is much much greater than m2 (the 1 or 2 kg masses), and you are simplifying to (G*m1)/d^2 because of the precision of the measuring device. Also, d is the same for both masses.
According to some reports it might be both. N3 (aka N3B) for A17 and N3E for M3.

Snark incoming. Imaging a society so shitty that you have to try to "understand the product strategy for a 14 year old publicly traded company"

That is, one society in which companies dont go about their business, aiming for sustainable growth and a healthy profit, but pivot to whatever unrelated technology (or, more often, bullshit fad) comes next, to prop their stock or to increase their valuation when they're sold.
That's pretty nifty. Security first.

In my personal life...

I look at Inoreader to catch up on my RSS feeds during the week and I will star items I'd like to read more about later. If I'm lucky I get to look at the starred items once a week. Almost everything I'm interested in has an RSS feed. Hackernews goes into the feed reader as well.

I keep my personal email open and glance at it a few times a day to make sure there's nothing super important. I also clean up my email about once a week.

It's probably best not to think of Dropbox the company as being about the product "Dropbox." It's a huge company and as with all megacorps their goal is to become bigger through whatever means they have at their disposal.

Maybe they'll come up with something of value to bolt onto what they do today, or maybe they'll add a totally different product to their portfolio, or maybe they'll pivot away from their current business entirely, or maybe they'll just waste a bunch of money chasing the current fad.
True, but dealing with the consequences of laggy response even in this case does not result in taking your eyes off the road. Rather, the troubleshooting feedback loop can happen entirely using your hand and ears.

When using a touch screen, if you don't know whether the lack of feedback is due to its lag or your bad aim, you would likely take your eyes off the road in order to aim better, given that bad aim is a likely culprit.

"Made some BS PR headlines, while not even having a clue how to do anything with those things, and surely not anything worth their customer's while" is an ever better description.
I get that this sort of headline makes for a great circle jerk but let's be real here, the military isn't as stupid as HN likes to imply. Rife with perverse incentives that keep things from being done ideally? Yes, but not stupid. The military is also rife with ass-covering careerists so if some nobody on HN can think of a way they can do it better then someone in the system has almost certainly thought about it and looked into it and sent out an email letting everybody know about it. The fact that they're only buying something from one of their suppliers doesn't mean they can't get it from another with less lead time than their stockpile. This goes for a whole class of products. Typically if you are a contractor or a sub contractor and you are the only source for a unique product that can't easily be substituted you're required to provide a sufficient technical data package such that someone else could make the same stuff. If this factory was really a serious priority it would a) be redundant b) be fixed already. Because some careerist would have sniffed out the brownie points and then made sure it got done and that they got credit. It's also possible that there's internal politics involved and letting it turn into a dumpster fire is being done on purpose in order to make the situation get remediated in a specific way.
Exactly, Dune is practically unfilmable without heavy adaptation. There's a bunch of that inner-thought voiceover stuff in David Lynch's Dune, but still only a tiny fraction as much as is in the book, and it's frankly really damn goofy (full disclosure: I'm waiting to see how Part II turns out before I decide whether this version, or the Alan Smithee cut of 1984 Dune, is the one I'd be more excited about if someone proposed a re-watch—I love that glorious mess)

> Why is that so?

I provided the reasoning in the rest of that paragraph. It's pointless to judge the previous culture on those merits since it was not overthrown because of them. Christianity and "civilization" were not introduced to benefit the Hawaiians, but to control them. And similarly to how our culture cherry-picked from the cultures that came before, so should also the Hawaiians be able to retain elements of their culture and their heritage.

> Colonialism assumed that the colonies send resources back to the metropolis country. As you can see, this is not happening at all with Hawaii.

Actually, Hawaii was sending resources to the mainland US back then. Most importantly, sugar. However, in the US market Hawaii had trouble competing with other exporters because of tariffs. Already before annexation, Hawaii's business men (mostly of non-native or mixed origin) forced the kingdom to lease territory to the US in exchange for lower tariffs. Annexation was a definite solution for that problem. And nowadays it is still crucial to protect the interests of the USA in the Pacific.
Show HN: Scrawl-canvas filter functionality demo
The Scrawl-canvas library's filters functionality is inspired by SVG filters. Filter operations can be ordered in ways to combine different sets of operations to achieve complex effects.

The library comes with an extensive set of pre-built filters, including: color and alpha channel manipulations; matrix, pixellate, blur; compositing and blending operations; palette reduction and dithering; image and noise asset upload (for use with composites and blends); gradient, and displacement, mapping.

Filters can be applied to individual graphical objects, to Groups of such objects, and also to Cell displays.

>5G NR (the access layer of 5G) isn't hugely more spectrum efficient than LTE on a bitz/hz basis, at least on a downstream basis where the most demand is (upstream is really important too though, especially for TCP, I'm not discounting that).

This was something anyone could see from a mile away. Generations 1-4 were about multi-plexing signals on the same spectrum (1 was frequency channels, 2 was time channels, 3 started to include multiple simultaneous access via clever math, and 4G used orthogonal frequencies to really amp up the simultaneous access).

Problem with 5G is that orthogonal frequencies are pretty much the best way we know how to multiplex, even over wires, so we had to look elsewhere for things like new frequency bands and multiple antennae, etc. These were never going to feel as impactful as the multiplexing changes did, but there was too much at stake for marketing departments, so they just plowed ahead with hype.
This is the worst part of JS. To make it workable u have to:

- setup linting (which is awful and annoying)
- formatting
- use typescript

and then maybe u have a usable work environment. Rust just does that out of the box.

I agree with basically everything you are saying, except I think a sprinkle of rote memorization can go a long way in some domains. Whenever I read a math book, memorizing definitions and some key theorems helps me apply them in problems. With programming, however, I tend to do zero rote memorization.
Good q's...

I find that domain expertise is really a funny mirage in a lot of ways.

What I want in reading a book is less often book-domain expertise and more often "convert book's contents to my thinking style and existing systems fit." Then I will typically use that result in the domains in which I'm already an expert...that's what I generally find that I want.

For this reason the LLM is helpful in abstraction duties. It doesn't by itself need to be as much of a domain expert, as much as it needs to give me e.g. more fluid interface-mindset access.

On the other hand, if it is lacking even basic quality of internal schema, sure? It's just that this hasn't happened to me yet; maybe that's surprising but it's more likely that this happens based on my own specific questions and theories than with the contents of published books.

So many of the books are functionally general in nature but still foreign in their nomenclature, etc. and I find that this is a good leverage point for an LLM.

> could this be said as

It usually is said that way, in my experience. I personally find it more helpful to talk about interfaces vs. internals. But others may be more used to talking about top-down.

For example with the interfaces metaphor, you get to have more than one "top" which maps very well to systems focus & benefits IMO. The leverage here is very useful in some teaching and learning cases.

No.

I already have problems following Proposition 1 where they introduce a different DNF with twice the clauses of the original CNF than claim that maximizing the satisfied clauses in the DNF would also yield a maximum satisfied solution for the CNF.

It's a pitty they don't release any source code that we can unit-test against problems with known solutions (while also profiling run-time to stay within polynomial bounds) :)

edit: what am I missing, their reduction to a DNF seems unsuitable to me?

I read proposition 1 [1] to mean: they find an optimal solution for the DNF V∪X, then expect the corresponding CNF C to have at least as many satisfied clauses. However isn't that insufficient? I mean there could be an even better solution with more satisfied clauses in C, that are totally missing when only looking for solutions for V∪X. But maybe I'm just misunderstanding something.

My background theory is around schematization. Our knowledge is a complex web of inter-related concepts. Some factual, some abstract.

For audiobooks/read books, I look for 2 or 3 key "aha moments" that stick with me. For Thinking Fast it was "two ways of thinking", "loss aversion". From there other related concepts are just below the surface.

For Thinking in Systems it's "stocks + outflows + inflow", and "all systems reach an equilibrium".

As you read more, you get lots of different ideas cross pollinate, and from there you gain your own insights.

As others have said, pondering or applying the ideas in real life is really important.
Let's do some math.

The building has 27,651 Sq meters. It would cost (with discount) $60m and it would cost (for commercial renovation, according to the article) $50 if we assume the conversion to residential is going to be the same.

An average 2 Bedroom is 150 Sq meters. If we assume an 80% usage capacity (some space has to go for the gym, I guess), then we get 147 apartments. Or $750K per apartment. Obviously, there will be other costs (taxes, finder fees, city, whatever) so let's say $850K per apartment to be safe.

This is an insane price for an apartment; however, this is a competitive price for SF. The people who did a 80% discount on this, seems to have reasonable math pricing in that most of the "value" of the building was derived from the scarcity of commercial building and demand. The new "value" might have been priced based on the residential market.
Hack smith has a great video where they make a bulletproof suit and show that it’s possible! https://youtu.be/Eeb4aZObp-0
The bulletproof suits are acceptable leaps of logic that I’m fine with. The bigger issue is keeping things consistent. Try as I may I just can’t keep thinking about how easy everyone else in that universe is to kill compared to the hero. And the most unbelievable scene for me was the two on one knife fight.
It's highly entertaining! But also I understand not watching videos.
That sounds like a good idea. Usually I find these businesses cost a lot, which would leave me with nothing for another business. The return is good if it were completely hands off but most businesses never are. Meaning I would have to leave my well paid full time job to run that business.
