So only people who never worked at Google are allowed to criticse Google?
It was changed because of a California law IIRC.
This is a wild take that actually makes too much sense.

I agree, let's do it!
In my experience with OAuth, one of the principle issues is that it's less a protocol and more a skeleton of a protocol. Actually go to the core RFCs for OAuth, and you realize that basically everything is implementation-dependent. You somehow register with the provider as a client (out of band and completely implementation-dependent).

Then you ask them to log you in by sending a request to an implementation-dependent webpage, with implementation-dependent parameters (which ones are required are--you guessed it--implementation-dependent), telling them to redirect you to your page when you're done. Well, actually, that assumes you're building a website. If you're a desktop application, you'll do something else. If you're on an embedded system that can't open up a webpage, there's another option. And there's yet more flows. Which ones are supported by the provider? You guessed it, it's all implementation-dependent. Oh, and maybe you need to refresh tokens to login the future. When? If? You guessed it, implementation-dependent!

It makes writing a generic OAuth client library hard because there's basically no commonality there. Really, it makes me long for Kerberos as a much saner SSO system than OAuth.
Netflix’s subscriber count has been going down for a while. It spiked during Covid because people had to stay home and just watch netflix. With inflation, etc it’s very much possible that is just the number they would have lost anyways. In fact, we don’t know if the password change reduced this number because of some people bought one after sharing.
Asian shows have a similar level of cynicism and/or irony as western shows, but western viewers often don't understand them because they are simply lacking the cultural background, or it's just lost in translation. So they are not aware of the subtle parts which they understand in western shows.
I don't trust any single bit of "it's coming" from Intel after the 7 years delay of their 10nm node and their disappointing 7 one. 7 years is a disaster and a dead sentence in this business.

They aren't the new IBM/Oracle yet, but they need a bet that doesn't depend on their manufacturing capabilities.
> People focusing on colonizing Mars when we have such an immediate problem to address TODAY are delusional and actively endangering the most vulnerable people in the world.

I don't agree with the logic that we cannot focus on two things at the same time. It's like saying, "People focusing on making movies when we have such an immediate problem to address TODAY are delusional and actively endangering the most vulnerable people in the world." or "People focusing on curing fibromyalgia when we have such an immediate problem to address TODAY are delusional and actively endangering the most vulnerable people in the world."

The bottleneck to reversing climate change is not money or manpower, it is politics. We cannot force other people (especially in other countries) to do the right thing for the environment. We can, however, do our best to improve things on our side and pressure others to do so as well. And while we are putting our best effort towards that, we shouldn't stop making art, researching medicine, or even, trying to colonize mars.

Also, the research and development needed to colonize Mars may very well yield scientific discoveries that allow us to reverse climate change. And even if it doesn't, and Earth is ruined despite our best efforts here, we won't have all our eggs in one basket.

My point is, I just do not believe that researching colonization of Mars will do anything to thwart our efforts to improve the Earth. Quite the contrary, it may help those efforts.
The OP conflates the fediverse with Mastodon, and my understanding of his key point is that it is doomed because Mastodon is complicated to run. As the operator of https://press.coop, I agree. Mastodon is 10 yr old web tech (Ruby on Rails with Postgres) that does not take advantage of modern cloud architectures. (The streaming service is written in nodejs and is efficient and just works)

But software continues to evolve. There are numerous other software projects on the fediverse, Cloudflare's Wildebeest being an example of a more efficient, and easier to manage implementation. Crowdfunding has become a common means for instances to be funded. It is still early days for the fediverse, and the pace of innovation continues to accelerate. Remember that Twitter was twttr when it launched, and was an SMS based app. Flickr was a Flash app.
I think you must be right, I was paranoid I'd been excluded from the future, but it was likely just a glitch.
OP is referring to GPT4 API
It's too late now. YouTube penetrated every single market outside of China and is now unshakeable from network effect

It completely paid off already, and Google is going to be reaping the dividends of the advantage they had in emerging markets for the next 15 years.

The real advantage has always been network effect. Purely technological moats don't work in the long term. People catching up was inevitable, but Google was able to cash it into a untouchable worldwide lead, and on top of that they made their researchers happy and recruited others by allowing them to publish, and they don't need to maintain an expensive purely technical lead.
Not entirely true. Hotels aren’t allowed to advertise prices lower than what’s on booking.com to users who aren’t logged in. If you are a member of the hotel’s loyalty program, you can and do get lower prices.

Hotel brands prefer this because they get you into their system and they get to keep more of the room rate.
That’s not what anti trust means though. If that’s the reasoning the commission acting outside it’s purpose.
Given how badly the Xbox for Windows system functions (lots of games don't even support the Xbox Series S/X controller reliably until you set them up to use Steam as their launcher), it already seems like the Xbox organization doesn't think much about Windows.
You can get an ML PhD doing applied ML.
Totally depends on the project. I work on a gigantic binary with thousands of other people, so unfortunately it’s like 1x / week for me.
Absolutely no evidence to back this up, but if I were the Taiwanese government, I’d be making sure TSMC was slooow-walking their overseas expansion plans.
>There is one way to "bypass" a bad admin: involve the parents. And do not actually bypass the admin, keep them in the loop, but this allow an educator to mitigate the issues.

A student in the US who is struggling usually comes from a home that does not give a crap about education in general. Involving the parents just results in them not caring, or blaming you as the teacher. Your admin will then side with the parent, because they also DGAF, superintendent is usually not a merit based position.
The Manhattan project was completed in a bit over 3 years.

The big barriers are getting a truly blank cheque and sufficient authority to bypass, or bulldoze, through all possible obstacles.

Which is more a question of priorities.
The trick with the tiny little model aircraft engines is that you typically get a decent lift/drag efficiency multiplier with fixed wing vs. quadrotor. In my experience, there seems to be a somewhat scale invariant power requirement of ~200W/kg (applies to a 249g Mavic Mini and much larger 25kg units). For a fixed-wing, you can get a 5:1 or 10:1 L/D and get away with more like 20-40W/kg instead.

You also probably don't want to direct-drive a multirotor off of the gas motor but rather convert it to electricity so that you maintain the rapid control authority on the motors. There are companies that make suitable powerplants, e.g. https://www.pegasusaero.ca/hybrid-advantage
I don't understand what people are doing to be able to assert that a streaming service is more convenient than piracy. For me, piracy is more convenient than streaming by a significant margin.

Visit one of the very public torrent sites such as rarbg, search or browse for something of interest, copy magnet URI, switch to terminal window, type aria2c "[magnet uri]". Just minutes later have the file in working directory. Now you can play it with MPV and have instantaneous seeks and no garbage web players.
A lot of commenters are obsessed with just finding money. You can't eat money. You can't build a house out of it (advisably).

Money is only as valuable as the amount of stuff in an economy. More money with the same amount of stuff is just inflation. The Pound does not need more inflation. Money and trade are only valuable in so much as they aid exchange and efficiency.

On a real, practical-level Brexit made England materially poorer. There are a lot of export commodities they no longer have a market for. And there are a lot of markets they can no longer import from cheaply.

You can do what you want to make the distribution more equal, but it can also be true that the pie is smaller for everyone.
It's easier to pass, I believe.

If you made a sweeping all encompassing "right to repair" bill you would then be targeted by every single group which opposes right to repair, if you target agriculture or medical areas you are likely to only primarily receice heavy opposition from a segment rather than a large swath of industries.

Narrow bills are easier to understand and explain. They do one thing and they do it right rather than trying to solve every problem.

A narrow bill has less of a target. If you have a large bill there might be one small element which some politician couldn't vote for for various reasons, reduce the scale and you reduce the target area.

Those are just a few ideas, not an expert in this but these seemed to make sense. Let me know what you think.
Consider my argument here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35716469
My entire point is the suggested solutions aren't solutions. The onus is on those suggesting to suggest something practical and that will actually work, not utopian fantasies.
For those that don't have any idea what a non-dom is (like myself), BBC says:

"Non-dom" is short for "non-domiciled individual". It's a term used for a UK resident whose permanent home, or domicile, is outside the UK. "Non-dom" is a description of tax status.
Is it so much better? I honestly don't see that much of a difference with "good prompts" between GPT4 and GPT3.5 in chatgpt.
I stopped watching new Netflix shows after they left too many unfinished. I might consider it if it was a finished series, but it was too frustrating to start watching something, have it end a season on a cliffhanger, and then get cancelled before things got resolved.

I think they lost a lot of customer goodwill with those frequent cancellations. Even if they didn't want to finish the series, investing in a short special episode to wrap some things up might have kept more of that alive and made me more willing to invest my time in a newer series.

I'm not an expert but it really seems like Netflix is doing self inflicted damage with some recent decisions. Maybe an exec failed upwards and ended up in charge of some policies they shouldn't have been trusted with...
There is zero guarantee about that. The result could have fewer vulnerabilities, but it's not an easy thing to do. I'd say there definitely are some vulnerabilities left in sudo code, but over the years all the obvious bugs have already been eliminated and rewriting it in a new language can reintroduce a lot of those. Now, if the people doing this are competent and have time and money in their hands, rust enables doing some things better and basically lets you forget about basic and advanced memory bugs, so the final product may well be a good (better) one.

But just using another language to reimplement something in order to make it "safer" in some abstract manner does not guarantee anything. Good coding practices combined with "elementary" and highly-portable language like C can also result in victory that can't really be challenged. We'll see.

If you want to have password reset, OTP, 2FA, webauthn and so on, you probably want to use an external authentication provider. Integrating it with oidc/oauth is much easier, than doing all that stuff by yourself.
Game 1: Platris
One reason is that the protocol itself is more complicated than you've described.

For example, Google won't give you a long-lived access token. You need a refresh token, and then you use that to retrieve access tokens, and continue doing that as they expire.

Why? I have not a flipping idea. Please, HN enlighten me how refresh/access token dichotomy improves the API.
I torrent all the time. Those types of websites are long gone and these days as blockers in browsers block all other ads on torrent sites.

I pay for Netflix and Prime but torrent all the US content because they’re not available in my country. If they were available for a fair price maybe I would stop torrenting but they’re not
Have a lawyer draft up an NDA, require any hire sign one as a condition of employment.

Make sure the lawyer would be willing to work on a contingency fee basis if you had to go after someone who broke the NDA.
> which is the importation of literal foreign people (immigration) in order to keep declining population numbers up, which is quite different.

I disagree. Especially in modern times, immigrants moving somewhere else (i.e. exercising their natural right and freedom to move elsewhere) is a difference of degree of external influence, not a difference of kind.

Thus, in scope for discussion.
Honestly "alternative" should be a taboo word for most OSS projects, as it is overselling stuff. Manage expectations.
Try as you might to employ rhetoric and deceit, you haven't actually defined what social skills are "proper" and by implication which are "improper", which makes your argument nothing more than unsubstantiated, unfalsifiable assertions of under-defined concepts.

I'm not debating you, just pointing out how little is said in so many words.

It's a telling sign of the times that even on "rationalist" communities such as this one, such obvious nothing-burgers are considered legitimate talking points.
Funnily enough they did try to do agile design with these warships. They started building the first one before they figured out the whole design, with the idea they could update as they went. It was an absolute disaster. They had to redo a bunch of work to fit in changes they didn't anticipate. Now all the early ships are unique, making maintenance worse.

Turns out Agile depends on a low cost to refactor. It's easy to make a function body bigger. It's very painful to make an engine room bigger.
The goal of the merger is for execs to look like they are doing something to drive progress. Actual progress comes from the researchers and developers.
There’s more to it than that.

CS is unusually easy to learn on your own. You can mess around, build intuition, and check your progress—-all on your own and in your pyjamas. It’s easy to roll things back if you make a mistake, and hard to do lasting damage. There are tons of useful resources, often freely available. Thus, you can get to an intermediate level quickly and cheaply.

Wet-lab fields have none of that. Hands-on experience and mentorship is hard for beginners to get outside of school. There are a few introductory things online, but what’s the Andrew Ng MOOC for pchem?
We should welcome back Brittain to the European Union. To lessen inflation.
The Wall Street Journal lets you cancel your subscription if your address is in California, but not if it's in another state. If I wanted to cancel my subscription, I'm just going to pretend to move to California for a day or two. Maybe that's fraud and I'll go to prison for the rest of my life, but it's still better than calling them.
I never understood how Oauth as a user experience is supposed to be distinguishable from phishing.
That's already been done: https://github.com/lucidrains/imagen-pytorch
Fortunately Rust also has a very good type system and strict ownership system that greatly reduces the chance of logic bugs too.

Imagine not using seatbelts because they don't help if someone shoots you in the face.
Is there any good way to do OAuth on a headless system? I want to be able to run batch jobs without a browser involved. There's OAuth for devices but that has limited real world use.

THIS.

A lot of the work I do involves analyzing and improving Ruby applications' performance. Often, simply wrapping transactions around the database operations will help - without making other (often much needed) structural changes.
Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft is just farming the wait list for the best ideas so they can build them while you're waiting and then beat you to market.

Sounds like something they would do.
> First, I'd say that sometimes companies don't use the same tooling even if they could. One of the things that gave TSMC an advantage was that they did push EUV while Intel didn't. Intel did make some investments in EUV, but pushed off the commercialization of it. So even when companies ca use the same tooling, sometimes people think something is too expensive and that they can get more out of something cheaper.

They're all on EUV now.

> In some ways, I simply agree with you: they can't really have a sustained lead without continuing to put in work to stay 3-18 months ahead of the competition. However, I'd argue that a 6-12 month lead can be pretty big.

That's my point. That's about as big of a lead you can get. There's nothing one company can do that can't be copied by another.

> Intel is looking to introduce new stuff like RibbonFET (a successor to FinFET) and PowerVia backside power delivery so there's a lot more than "just use ASML EUV machines" and there is a lot of space for companies to innovate and create leads. But we also don't necessarily want companies to have leads that are too durable.

They're all investing in GAAFETs. Their roadmaps look very similar.

I suspect what Amazon did with wheel of time and rings of power to be a less brutal method: weekly episode release. Disney does this too.

If they have enough “must-watch” shows that are staggered then you lose out unless you’re paying constantly.

It’s what they want: gets them som earned media/socialmedia hype, and prevents the binge+drop discount watching approach.
But embedding-based semantic search can handle arbitrary sized databases. I fully believe context windows are going to grow: I am skeptical they will grow to cover "all your company's documents" or even "the full encyclopedia" sizes.
Weird, I got API access pretty much next day and I’m just a solo dev playing around with it for personal projects.
Lynk.world did it a while ago (connecting to 3/4 G phone direct from satellite). SMS a couple years ago, voice a year ago. The are definitely working the market for base sms/data first. It’s easier to deal with hiccups than it is with voice. I doubt anyone will offer voice at first, just universal data roaming.

All these players are trying to secure deals right now[1]. They sent up more sats this year[2].

They didn't turn HDR mode on, that's the novel aspect of the research. They took SDR photos with different positions and exposure levels, and then merged them into the NeRF.

Before modern sensors with huge dynamic range for a single photo, the "old school" way of getting HDR was to put your camera on a tripod, and take 5+ shots with different exposure levels. This can then be merged in software, but obviously this only works on static scenes and a static camera position.

The HDR-NeRF model lets you move the camera around, you don't need a tripod.

PS: Something I find hilarious is that the paper talks about HDR and shows "HDR-SDR" comparisons... but both pictures are SDR JPG images. It's pathetic how the PC world is pathologically unable to uplift imaging standards while the TV and Camera industries with far smaller R&D budgets are casually sailing past us into the future.
Yeah I was gonna say, an InReach Mini 2 is only $399 and $14.95/mo for the lowest plan. Gives you 10 text messages/month (but you have the ability to send more for, I think, $0.10/text). Folk might scoff at the price, but for any "hikers/campers who go up there for weeks at a time" this is quite likely already a tool that they have that provides additional capabilities mobile phones may not (eg, streamlined SOS services).
