Which of my wallets is draining as watch YouTube/TikTok/Twitch or read HN/Reddit? I have guesses on what you could mean (data, attention, etc), but some clarification would be nice.

1. There's no question that ownership is going to be a hot-button issue going forward, but I don't see how decentralization solves that problem (i.e NFTs being on ten different chains).

2. How does it preserve privacy? If I share data with a third party, what's to stop them from copying it over and ignoring my request to cut it off?

3. What is that added value? If you're talking about data portability that's certainly an argument in favor of decentralization, but that has a mess of competing & conflicting standards to wade through (see #1)
If that were the case you’d be too busy fighting over head count, trying to hit the VP rung, and internal empire building to do any actual work.

> for websites that live on leaking things from manufacturers, the person who leaks gets some of the revenue

I have a hard time believing that's common, if for no other reason than because it would open those websites up to legal liability.
I asked which dataset they were indexing that was of this size, not whether any such dataset exists in other domains.
I recall reading years ago that false information was always disseminated through Apple specifically for this purpose, along with many other forms of tracking and that staff knew about it specifically to limit temptation. When the goal is to stop the leak, letting staff know of the activities is more powerful than keeping the programme secret.

In one example for the iPad, Business Insider reported that the device was chained to the desk and photos of the desk’s wood grain were taken to simplify singling out any leaked photos. Obviously they could refer to the wood grain later, with so few prototypes, preshooting photos isn’t needed - however it’s about conveying the message.

A lot of this stuff is theatre to telegraph to staff that they risk the weight of the NDA.
> In any case, the Democrats have a few large, obvious subgroups

The elected Democrats, yes. What about Democrat voters?

> The Republicans have big divisions too. Trump and DeSantis have very different visions for the party.

Absolutely, but that doesn't stop the average Republican/conservative voter from supporting either candidate at the end of the day.

> I've seen this movie too many times to put much stock in left-wing pundits' prediction that the Republican party will actually fall apart.

I was literally just advocating the opposite prediction. I get that you want to read between the lines of my comment, but I am not the one writing there.
Agreed. I'm not entirely sure that the person you're replying to is not joking
Why? Rain is not algorithmic, clouds are not algorithmic, waves in the sea are not algorithmic, yet they are entirely physical processes that have nothing to do with souls.
Don‘t you think the environmental impact of having both warehouses and separate solar fields is certainly higher than having warehouses with solar panels?
I don't get it either. There is a visible and palpable seam on the Samsung ones, why would someone pay for that?

> HN tends to bias towards pro Apple

Possibly the most reliable phenomenon I've observed as a mod is that people believe HN is biased against what they like and in favor of what they dislike. This shows up most often with politics - for a recent example see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35734307 ("HN leans left") followed by https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35734354 ("HN leans left?") and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35734392 ("You're completely delusional if you consider HN to be left leaning"). For an amusing (to me anyway!) set of examples see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26148870.

But it works the same way with other things, like $BigCos. Each $BigCo has a fanbase and a foebase. Each fanbase feels like HN is biased against "their" $BigCo and in favor of some other $BigCo.

No doubt the same mechanism makes sports fans feel like the refs are biased against their team. The feelings of a sports fan determine not only the direction of perceived bias (no fan ever thought "the refs are consistently biased in our favor") but also its intensity (the more passionately a fan is devoted to $team, the more strongly they are persuaded about the refs' "bias").

Readers with no particular passion on a topic are less likely to perceive bias or feel much about it either way.

I believe that the way this works is that if we feel strongly about $foo, we're much more likely than the median reader to notice posts about $foo, especially ones we dislike (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...), and to weight them much more heavily. What starts as a feeling in us thereby turns into a perception about the world, often one that is very intensely held and impossible to dissuade.

This is not to say that the community, the refs, the mods, or what have you, aren't biased! Just that the existence or quantity of possible bias can't be decided by this mechanism, which is the mechanism that drives online discussion. In fact, the primary concern of any serious attempt to decide or quantify bias would have to be making sure that it wasn't distorted by this psychological mechanism, which is so powerful.

(This is a bit more than I set out to write about this! it's a hobbyhorse of mine, as it makes moderation moderately more complicated...where by moderately I mean extremely)
Look, I agree with your fundamental sentiment. But I think you're being incredibly naive too.

> I don't see how the world can function if everyone were to think and act like that

My brother in Christ, the world barely functions as it is right now. We have a war going on because of one man's misguided attempt at recapturing his country's former glory as an empire, we've had planes fall out of the sky because of boneheaded engineering decisions demanded by MBA types (737 Max), we had a massive train derailment / chemical spill in Ohio caused by other MBA types not wanting to properly maintain the trains and tracks, we are maybe a few weeks away from the most economically powerful country on Earth defaulting because our moronic leadership can't agree to pay our debts (NOT because of an inherent inability to pay)... I could go on. The world is chaos, and it's pretty much always been that way.

> there was a time where this kind of personality type would just go get an MBA, but Computer Science and Engineering were considered too hard to really be worth the effort.

This part of your reply really, really grinds my gears, because to me it's sort of saying that MBA's can cheat all they want, but CS and Engineering grads should be 'chaste' and not cheat... because reasons. NO. The MBA's took over the technical companies and fucked everything up, but we're just supposed to keep doing the 'right' thing? NO. Fuck them, we should get ours.

Is it sad that this is the current state of affairs? Absolutely. Would the world be an immensely better place if NO ONE was unethical, and no one cheated? Hell yes. But that world doesn't exist. And the people who have the power to bring such a world into existence are not entry level engineers.
> Open-source succeeding in parallel is still my preferred outcome, as it would at least give the common person some chance of control as this all plays out. Admittedly, having thousands of fingers on humanity's self-destruct button isn't a great outcome either.

Yea, I'm leaning that way as well and have the same worry. There are a lot of knuckle heads on the internet, I'm not sure purely mutually assured destruction would stop the destruction. I'm not at all sure what that point looks like but maybe there will be some large strides in defensive capabilities so it would look more like MAD + really good anti-air defense, but then someone would probably build a nuclear torpedo or a hypersonic missile. Whatever happens, it probably won't be boring.

You are neglecting to account for the loss of the increase in value over time for the existing property.

Think what happens if you sell the same house to yourself - you don’t magically get a gain.

Edit: if the market beta is 5% (selling a property that goes up at 5%), you need to get say 9% on your new property to break even. Plus you need to get a few % more to cover your extra risk (assuming cashflow and discount rate remain the same, and that the market has priced in some expected gains). Getting say 11% (6% alpha) over decades is perhaps not so easy?

Edit: and most people are looking for a home to live in, usually in a very similar market (location). You are adding the constraint that their home choice much also be expected to appreciate at well above market rates, so the person needs to be real estate specialist to get that alpha, plus the person needs to be financially savvy. Those are difficult constraints. I think we can ignore transaction costs.

"MS often introduces breaking changes in the Windows API"

Can you give an example? I have also plenty of Windows development experience, but can't think of anything. More like, Microsoft seems to be pretty careful making sure APIs don't break.

NTAPI doesn't count, because it's undocumented in the first place and you're not supposed to use it in the userland at all. Yeah, we all do, but...

I get the feeling that all these "digital detox" apps, if they aim to scale and make more money, will do so by "whitelisting" certain popular apps by making access to them relatively easier, bottlenecking the competitors.

> Artificial Intelligence will completely reshape our society very soon. If a universal income is not provided in a timely fashion (as AI makes many workers no longer relevant) we are going to be in big trouble.

I think about that very often these days. Governments worldwide must act on that now. Because even if they'll start a legislative process to implement it, it will take a long time and we are running out of time.
Yes - The BFT problem only matters when you have Byzantine actors. But I think users deserve and expect the system to be reasonably well behaved and predictable in all situations. Anything publically writable, for example, needs BFT resilience. Or any video game.

As for the prosemirror problem, I assume you’re talking about weird merges from users putting markdown in a text crdt? You’re totally right - this is a problem. Text CRDTs treat documents as a simple sequence of characters. And that confuses a lot of structured formats. For example, if two users concurrently bold the same word, the system should see that users agree that it should be bolded. But if that “bold” intent is translated into “insert double asterisks here and here”, you end up with 4 asterisks before and after the text, and that will confuse markdown parsers. The problem is that a text crdt doesn’t understand markdown. It only understands inserting items, and bolding something shouldn’t be treated as an insert.

JSON editing has similar problems. I’ve heard of plenty of people over the years putting json text into a text crdt, only to find that when concurrent edits happen, the json grows parse errors. Eg if two users concurrently insert “a” and “b” into an empty list. The result is [“a””b”] which can’t be parsed.

The answer to both of these problems is to use CRDTs which understand the shape of your data structure. Eg, use a json OT/crdt system for json data (like sharedb or automerge). Likewise, if the user is editing rich text in prosemirror then you want a rich text crdt like peritext. Rich text CRDTs add the concept of annotations - so if two users bold overlapping regions of text, the crdt understands that the result should be that the entire region is bolded. And that can be translated back to markdown if you want.

Luckily, in over a decade of work in the collaborative editing space, I haven’t found any other examples of this problem other than rich text and json. I think if a collaborative editing system supports json data, rich text and plain text then it’ll be enough to add collaborative editing support to 99% of applications.

The ink & switch people did a great write up of how rich text CRDTs work here: https://www.inkandswitch.com/peritext/
No. Autoregressive models don't have model specific limit to output tokens, it's just when to stop looping.
Also from what I've heard France, Germany, Netherlands, Sweden...

It's quite odd given the announcement of 180+ countries. There are 195 countries in the world. EU consists of 27 countries. So, it can't be EU and Canada being left out or they are lying. I wonder what's going on. Is it a staggered rollout? There was nothing said about that. Pretty crappy to not simply give a list nor details on the rollout.

Warehouses are not uniform. If you were to pick any of the vast millions of acres of free land in the mountain west, you could simply pick a suitable flat area near existing power transmission lines and get to work. If you were trying to develop that capacity on warehouse rooftops you'll run into a variety of problems from: (1) Some warehouses do not have rooftops that lend themselves to power generation. (e.g. they include smokestacks, antennae, vents, and other features that make some of the roof unusable) (2) It is inherently more labor-intensive (and therefore expensive) to haul solar panels onto a rooftop and install them around existing infrastructure than to put them into place in a suitably-prepared empty spot on the ground. (3) Warehouses are not situated in spots that are optimally chosen for sunlight exposure and therefore may not be very productive for solar power. Many will exist in the shadows of mountains, buildings, or trees. Others exist in places where natural forces such as ice, hail, and rapid temperature swings will shorten the expected lifetimes of solar panels. (4) The inherent costs associated (labor, logistics, materials) with setting up 10,000 small solar plants and connecting them to the grid will naturally exceed the inherent costs of setting several large purpose-built locations and connecting them to the grid.
> Has a single significant Apple launch not leaked in the last decade?

It's not a black and white leak vs no leak situation - there are very clearly degrees of severity at play here.

To use a recent example, sure we all know Apple is working on a VR headset, but there have been (to best of my knowledge) no meaningful leaks of images of the actual hardware or software; these will be a surprise on launch day, and surprises can be news worthy - helpful when trying to sell new things, or slow down the rate at which competitors build imitations.
When SSDs came out I avoided them out of reliability concerns, but figured the endurance would improve over time as the tech matured. But it turns out the reality is that endurance has plummeted:

SLC: 100K cycles

MLC: 10K cycles

TLC: 3K cycles

QLC: 1K cycles

https://www.kingston.com/en/blog/pc-performance/difference-b...

Now SSDs seem to be taking over the laptop world and HDDs are getting harder to find (and smaller, as the larger CMR drives get replaced with garbage SMR models). It seems like reliable storage in a laptop is quickly becoming a thing of the past.

Mass event will let hackers test limits of AI technology
The field of "algorithms with predictions" studies how to use predictions/learning within traditional CS problem settings:

> We introduce algorithms that use predictions from machine learning applied to the input to circumvent worst-case analysis. We aim for algorithms that have near optimal performance when these predictions are good, but recover the prediction-less worst case behavior when the predictions have large errors.

An example is using learning to decide which variable to discretize next in a branch-and-bound integer linear programming solver. The algorithm might be extremely similar to the classic version, but the analysis is new.

https://arxiv.org/abs/2006.09123

More broadly, I think there's a lot of work on applying more refined analysis to classic algorithms - online settings, smoothed analysis, etc.
