I don't understand the point of your comment.

Are you comparing discussion of a (relatively legacy) software application to an entire developer conference with a mostly singular focus on a newer, evolving technology?

I'm not trying to be an Apple apologist here but maybe this discussion would be better discussed in roughly a month when WWDC happens.
> "We greet, and just before my behind touched the seat Micheal Seibel said: "I just want to know, why did you Rick Roll us?" I had completely forgotten that the night before, for the video question of the application, I had pasted Rick Astley's famous "Never Gonna Give You Up" clip from YouTube. Why did I do that? With so little time to prepare, I didn't know what to put into the required video field. So Haya and I decided to go with some cheesy humor. I tried to explain this much, but the look on Michael's face said that he didn't buy it. So here I am, the asshole who got the chance of a lifetime and decided to blow it for a stupid joke. I felt like I gave the impression of that of an entitled "tech bro," something that couldn't be further from what I aspire to be in the world. Especially given that I came from such humble beginnings."

wow it really is like a vignette from the silicon valley show
I just today removed some disallow directives from robots.txt files and put in noidex metas on the pages instead like Google recommends. It doesn't really have much use nowadays.

As to copyright - yes I agree the Micky Mouse copyright law has been extended far too long and should be about thirty years. On the other hand I think trade marks should not be nowhere so easily liable to be lost even if people do use the term generally. Disney should still be able to make new Micky Mouse cartoons and be defended from others making them.
It's not quite as open as the language of your choice. There are a handful of popular languages available, Rust, C, C++ and a number of fringe languages like Zig, AssemblyScript, etc. You can run something like Python but it's a bit misleading because you're compiling the entire runtime to WebAssembly similar to how CheerpJ runs Java or Blazor runs .NET
How is the link tag any different? It's also a link which is optional to access. One's user agent could choose not to request it. script tags are optional too.

The Hacker News community are mainly "doers" - action-oriented individuals who prefer a hands-on approach. I think we yearn for opportunities to experiment with new technologies, not simply hear about their potentials.

This year's Google I/O appears to be heavy on talk about new technologies, but light on tangible releases for us to explore.

In order words, the true value lies not in the promise of a product, but in its practical application. So, I urge Google to present us with tools, APIs, products, we can actively engage with, rather than just talk about and endless "waiting lists".
...which you wouldn't get with BSD as they'd just close it down and ship you binary, as they would have no obligation or reason to.

The BSD "freedom" is not for the user of the software, it's for corporation to take.
It will be interesting to see how the data & AI conversations evolve. A bit like smartphones, I’m scared we’ll first see an explosion of features then some backtracking to figure out the security & privacy models. I wish we’d learned to start with security.

I didn’t get to see the entire thing, but I did see the AI-enabled cinematic photo backgrounds. All I could think is man that’s a lot of analysis of my personal images for a mild parallax effect.
The website is neat.
Because they are embedded in the stream itself something I am not sure would be viable for youtube to do at their scale. For twitch, you basically have to use a proxy hosted in another country where they dont show ads to retrieve the stream links.
How does that JLCPCB / LCSC shipping discount work? I know they used to do combined shipping but I think they dropped that option years ago.
> it will help me stop spending so much time

Oh gosh, really? Don't you think you'll come back after a few weeks?

I think the bigger impact is that it'll impede new user adoption. I use an adblocker (but pay for YouTube,) and I never use sites that block me for using an adblocker.

In the 90s I would be hard-pressed to name any of my techie chums who didn't have a shell account on a NASA box, through legal or illegal means. NASA also had some great cables and satellite runs between their facilities and other partners overseas that allowed for moving warez and porn very quickly across the Atlantic when the commercial connection between the UK and USA was something like 2Mbps for the entire country.

A "moat" is the protection company A has against company B building a clone of company A's product. For example, YouTube has the set of people who have a habit of logging on to YouTube to watch content. A competitor has to convince all those people to change their habits. This is known to be a hard problem, so it's a moat!

Netflix thought they had a similar moat of user-habits. But it turns out that the more important moat in the streaming market is a moat of content.
> Hmm. Could you be behind some kind of interfering proxy that doesn't like WebSockets?

I tried again from home, and it worked fine, so that must be it.
My theory is that if everyone has my data it becomes useless.
Gurobi (maker of a MIP solver) has a bunch of industry case studies as marketing materials on their website:

however, it's mixed-integer programming rather than SAT solvers/constraint programming, but similar in spirit.
100% this, I'm not watching ads. I haven't really seen any advertising on my electronic devices in a decade (edit: actually closer to two decades) and that's the way it will continue to be. My time is valuable, my mental space is valuable, my computer is mine. You will not make it do things I don't want it to do. Advertising is a plague on society.

(I speak from experience, I worked for 3 years at an ad agency.)
It would really help if you could identify a specific business to talk about.

Columbus wasn't a business but if you take a look at why he got funding [1] you'll see its very clearly for the greater good (of the crown). Of course, the inhabitants of the land being colonized are not taken into consideration but they're also not the one giving Columbus his funding.

I think you need to think a bit longer about this. If slavery wasn't useful economically why did so many civilizations engage in it?

I use GPT-4 for coding and technical tasks every day, its abilities to make ideas a reality which would otherwise take me days or weeks is astonishing.

I wanted to try to make real-world terrain in Unity - GPT-4 guided me to the USGS's LiDAR data, took me step-by-step through creating a mesh from a point cloud, and created several scripts to edit and filter the mesh programmatically.

There are some caveats and many dead-end conversation branches - GPT-4 seems to know 'about' more libraries than it actually knows how to use, so certain library choices tend to produce erroneous code.

GPT-4 sometimes picks a poor method, for example conflicting methods of moving an object in a single script, but can usually resolve the issue when notified.

Dozens of hours fiddling with technical details saved.

Can you explain your understanding of the orthogonality thesis? I don't think the ability of intelligent agents to plan conflicts with it
Interesting! I had assumed that if you could mark pages of memory as executable (for a JIT), that an app could use that to call all sorts of security/privacy sensitive private APIs they're usually forbidden from using. But maybe not? Or is iOS sandboxing just good enough it doesn't matter? (but at the minimum, it does still seem to nullify the app store review process if apps can introduce arbitrary new behavior/code after review)
My experience working with folks who claim ADD and treat it with Adderall is more akin to working with someone who has a drug problem. Sleeplessness, suddenly missing work, constantly forgetting to eat day after day, breakdowns, MIA in meetings, really poor code, and more. This has happened > 3 times in the past handful of years.

My totally uninformed take is that these individuals emphatically do not suffer from ADD, but are victims of the "ADD software engineer industrial complex" that basically preys on folks who need a lot of focus to do their job. They get on powerful amphetamines, like it, go deeper, and then suddenly there's a _real_ health problem. It is a fact that these drugs are over-prescribed; it's basically a crisis. And there isn't nearly enough awareness of the dangers or the long-term impact on mental health.

that's slightly incoherent and reflective of the same confusion i identified; there is strictly speaking, no such thing as a decimal number, only a decimal numeral. normally the difference is subtle, but in this case it's the essence of the issue

'decimal' means 'base 10'

numbers, the abstract entities we do arithmetic on, are not decimal or in any other base; it is correct that arithmetic on them is not in any sense lossy

decimal is a system of representation that represents these abstract numbers as finite strings of digits; these are called 'numerals'. it can represent any integer, but only some fractions, those whose denominator has no prime factors other than 2 or 5. such fractions arise non-lossily as the result of the arithmetic operator of division when, for example, the dividend is 3. representing these in decimal requires rounding them, so decimal is lossy

binary floating point is lossy in the same way, with the additional limitation to only being able to represent fractions whose denominator is a power of 2, whose numerator does not have too many significant bits (53 most often), and which are not too positive, too negative, or too small

there are other systems of represention for numbers that are not lossy in this way. for example, improper fractions, mixed numbers, finite continued fractions, and decimal augmented with overbar to indicate repeated digits
My last experience with Arrow was such a gigantic clusterfuck, that it's hard to form a real opinion. I'm going to chalk it up to a big company making a statistical mistake that just happened to affect me.

However, when my order is a customized First Article for verification testing, which by definition means I'm planning to buy tens of thousands of units later, you'd think they'd try harder.
If the current Bard is really running on PaLM 2, it still hallucinates worse than GPT-3.5. Trying to get it to solve a variant of the classic wolf/goat/cabbage puzzle, I got this gem:

"The scientist is not present on Phobos on the first step. The Doom Slayer teleports himself and the bunny to Deimos, leaving the scientist on Phobos.

That wasn't a one-off thing, either - it repeatedly contradicted itself several times, often in near-adjacent sentences. You might wonder what this means for the ability to do chain-of-thought... so did I, but apparently the bigger problem is convincing it to do CoT in the first place. But if you do, yeah, it's as bad as you'd expect.

Here are two complete conversations, plus GPT-4 doing the same puzzle for comparison; judge for yourself: https://imgur.com/a/HWLgu3c
It is. Research and hobby does generally create lower order numbers than industry, though. However, at least DigiKey offers an integration iirc.

Here's the article I was referring to: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35813322
That makes sense. I just edited the comment so that it is (hopefully) less complaining and more factual.
No, that wasn’t my point. You don’t need docs, just feed in the raw source code. GPT4 can make sense of code without documentation.

Good point. I'm partially conflating the definition I usually mean, which is "having a goal in the world", with what they're doing, which is "having ability to affect the world". Hugging Face is trying to keep these locked down, and maybe being able to generate images and audible sound is not that much more dangerous than being able to output text. But it is increasing the attack surface for an AGI trying to get out of its box.
> It is unknown if COVID-19 vaccines have non-specific effects on overall survival

> The relative mortality risk for mRNA vaccine vs. placebo was 1.03 (0.63–1.71)

Yet the CDC is still recommending[0] to this day that everyone 6 years and older get an mRNA vaccine; even though this article is another piece of data saying that for anyone younger than, say, 40 with no significant comorbidities (and therefore very low risk of death from Covid), you are better off not.

the fallacy you have is that all hackers are socialists or folks that dislike venture capital or capitalism.

I can assure you many hackers are libertarian or anarchists of some flavour (from mutualists to anarcho-capitalists). Many celebrate Apple because they want to build the next Apple some day.

HN has always slanted for the latter crowd, though certainly open to everyone.

30% is anything but just.
Ahh, that brings back memories - I read that over 20 years ago in preparation for my master's thesis.
I don't use Svelte, but I appreciate the principled approach and the clear explanation.

I primarily coded in Python for 4 years. Then I founded a company that didn't need as much data science and my primary language switched to JavaScript (2 years) then TypeScript (4 years). Overall, I really like TypeScript. But I do absolutely miss being able to cmd + click into a function/class from an open source package and see the actual implementation and not just a type definition. This is probably the biggest day-to-day frustration I have with TS compared to JS and Python.

Apple’s rules on social payments primarily affect content creators and other big tech orgs like FB/YT/TT.

Whether Apple allows adult content is a separate matter from whether Apple takes a 30% cut from bloggers and video makers who produce digital content in exchange for payment.
Sure, it was meant as a toy example. I see that often multi-stage search systems work best, and having multiple subsequently complex metrics may be a good idea. Same way as with text hashing.
I ordered early on, it took a long time, but I got the phone and I was satisfied. It wasn't an iphone. But I could hook it to a keyboard and mouse.

Yep. I do this with Brave playlists.

At their stated "optimum" temperature of 200 million kelvin[0] or ~17 keV, the selectivity of the two cross-sections (D-H3/D-D) is about 0.7[1].

Let x = the fraction of D (we'll generously assume no T contamination, so the remainder 1-x is He3), plug in the reaction energies[2], and rearrange.

Graph is here: https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=plot+y+%3D+1.225+x%5E2%...

The top line is total non-neutron power, and the bottom line is neutron power. The horizontal axis is the fraction of D in the mix, and the vertical axis is proportional to power.

It might help compare the relative tradeoffs if you zoom in on the rising slope of the power curve, and normalize both curves to 1: https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=plot%3A+y%3D1%2F3.9503+...

Fiduciary duty was not always the end-all-be-all of corporate decision making. This has been a see-saw battle between employee wellness, customer satisfaction, and shareholder returns, and we are at the apex of shareholder dominance currently. But that does not mean this is set in stone. General Electric explicitly put employee wellness and customer satisfaction above shareholders in the their business documents as late as the 70s.

The snap is mostly a leftover from before AppImage builds were available, as that was the easiest way for me to package binaries at first.

this is about the time that i expect sites to begin returning intentionally corrupt/incorrect/perhaps outright garbage (subtle or not, probably better subtle so they don't realize it until it's far too late) data in order to intentionally poison enemy wellscraping. where "ethics" dissolve into the inherent raw cannibalistic laws of capitalist ventures.

> For example, AMD CPUs have a lot of lanes, but unless you have an EPYC, most of them are not exposed, so the PCH tries to spread its meager set among the devices connected to your PCI bus, and if you have a x16 GPU, but also a WIFI adapter, a WWAN card and a few identical NVMe, you may find only of the NVMe benchmarks at the throughput you expect.

example from my X670E board

* first NVME = 4x gen 5

* second= 4x gen 4

* 2 USB ports connected to CPU (10/5 Gbit)

and EVERYTHING ELSE goes thru 4x gen 4 PCIE bus, including additional 3x nvme, 7 SATA ports, a bunch of USBs, few 1x PCIE ports, network, etc.

if you’ve been writing HTML since 1999 like me then it’s newfangled. in 2008 when i got my first paid job writing ASP and PHP at a web dev shop, nobody was “frontend”. there was the content person, the designer (photoshop wiz), the builder (convert design into HTML) and the dev. we still had to support IE6 or our manager would yell at us. i wrote my first SPA at work in 2011, and that was radical—everyone thought it was a bad idea. some people thought backbone.js might be a cool approach. took ages for react to appear.

took until maybe 2015 before i remember seeing any job ads of “frontend” positions, it takes a while before a job market develops around a technology.

i didn’t say it was pointless. i said the stratification of “dev” into “frontend dev” and “backend dev” is newfangled and arbitrary. you could also split devs into other classes (DB only, CSS only, etc.).

it is funny when people who don’t know you accuse you of incompetence because you don’t like their tools or methods. dogmatic. i prefer some other tools and methods and i am delivering value to customers. pragmatic.
Well, they won't complain anymore!
Why should they care about your indignation then? You're literally just costing them money in resources.

Apple busts iOS 17 leaker with spycraft ‘canary trap’
Google says OnlyFans takes 20%. However, if you look at a saas business, the general metric for a well-run business is a 50% cost ratio. That means paying 30% instead of 1-ish percent for payments is actually 60% of profits in a well-run saas business. I suspect stripping/sex work has a lower cost than engineers, marketing, CS, computers, etc.

Which goes a long way to explaining the dearth of professional tools in the app stores.
