Well there's a small but significant community of hobbyists still using it for... we're enthusiastic about it to be subscribing already well it's still in beta to support it.

Lots of businesses still have critical line-of-business VB6 code and can't afford or have other issues with the total rewrite required to move anywhere else.

And one thing almost every commenter who thinks there's no market is overlooking: VBA. VBA is still huge in the business world. 64bit Office has become the default, but if you want to create active-x controls for it? Your options are... nothing without using a whole different language, usually C++. tB already has initial support for creating 64bit controls that can be used in Office VBA (and any other COM host including .NET, on top of being able to compile to 32bit for VB6 if so desired). There's a number of bugs to work out, but I've gotten some of my very complex controls running. Then you can also make VBE addins. All with the same VBAx64 syntax and language features you're used to with dozens of new ones.
except ad free youtube still has ads (in the form of sponsored content). and your data on youtube is still mined to serve you more ads elsewhere.

this isnt about ads. it's just another tactic for forcing users to log in.
My main issue is the tracking, if youtube premium stopped the awful tracking i would be fine, but it doesn't.

Did you notice the part where I explained how drive makers use the decimal units but the chips they source to build those drives are built in binary capacities?

I don't give a shit whether your operating system likes to show you disk usage in binary or decimal units, because I'm not talking about software at all. I'm explaining how the hardware is built. I especially don't need another person to try to explain what the binary and decimal units are, after I've repeatedly used both correctly.

>>> def load_files_in_parallel(filenames):
... for _ in range(len(filenames)):
... _ = filenames.pop()
...
>>> load_files_in_parallel(alpha)
>>> alpha
[]

And I mean, just damn, because it was already iterating over the list of filenames using such a convoluted mechanism, what a great opportunity to put the filename into a local var without mutating the caller's list

Worth reading. I'm not sure what to think about the author's position. My concern is it would only increase pressure to give up immediately on borderline cases. I definitely support the idea that people should be clear about what kind of care they want. Otoh, I have seen people get better from situations where if it were me I'd want to be left to die, so it's not really an easy decision to make. Hospitals I've dealt with are so bureaucratic though, I would worry that "we need the bed" ends up trumping everything else if there's some flexibility.
My account is new but I've been reading HN since the late 00s. There has definitely been a slow redditification of HN over the years.
Yes, DistilBERT https://arxiv.org/abs/1910.01108 is in fact the closest case I know of. But it is too small (distilling from 110M to 66M) and both BERT and DistilBERT is intended to be used (and benchmarked) with separate fine tuning for specific tasks, so they are not general.
You can use alternative front ends like piped, invidious or apps like libretube.

I ordered mine back in August of 2019, and just received it a couple of weeks ago. I ordered it back when it was $699 and when I had regular cellphone service. Now instead of cellphone service I use jmp.chat (voice and SMS over XMPP). I never expect there to be an XMPP client that supports all the extensions needed for me to have phone service and to also not murder the battery life. So it'll sit around and be a curiosity like my PinePhone. The usability gap between my GrapheneOS Pixel 6 and either of those phones is just too wide to bridge right now and for the foreseeable future.
That's what I do (instead of curl, with a browser).

MANY super cool convos spun out of this question (interviewed around 60 people). One of them never actually got to the network request part bc we went DEEP into event handlers in a GUI etc. Another candidate was all over the place with key exchange protocols and what and how can go wrong.

Ah, I am so happy I am not the only one who invented this interview method :-)
I like that with Jenkins you can use groovy, which gives you some extra power as far as writing commands is considered. You don't have to do everything via shell. Equivalent shell commands can be a bit messy sometimes.

It was a bit painful to write the same stuff in GitHub actions. Jira's groovy script made loops, storing variables very easy compared to GitHub actions' YAML.
This doesn't excuse awful customer support, but I wonder how the author is so sure that this is caused by Mouser warehouse black hole instead of UPS one. Maybe they handed over packages to the UPS but they vanished there before they were scanned.

Do you know how many people from the US can't go for treatments in the US because they can't afford it? Many.
I am from Germany and I can tell you that I have never heard of anybody going to the US for treatment. Maybe some millionaires do this but certainly not the average citizen. Do you know how many people are in medical debt in the US vs Germany? Do you know which country has higher life expectancy?
I'm not saying to migrate entire accounts, just to use a free personal account if you want to try these new Labs products or features. Nobody's stopping you from doing that, and it's really easy to handle multiple Google accounts in Chrome or Firefox.

Not a joke.
> I don't think that's quite correct because there are many optimizations which are impossible (or nearly impossible) to do after a system is implemented.

Who said you have to profile after a system is implemented? Certainly I didn't: if anything, I prefer to profile during prototyping, although few companies outside the largest budget for any real prototyping these days it seems. Usually I settle for timing things and profiling as early as possible so that you can catch any performance issues before any calcifying structure is built around the non-performant code.

Yes, I did profile after the fact in the Lisp story, but my point in that story was that my reasoning led me to the wrong conclusions, not that I did everything perfectly (on the contrary, it's a story about learning from my mistakes!).

I agree that Daniel Lemire post is excellent, but nothing in that post leads me to believe he'd disagree with anything I've said.

I'm reminded of another recent incident where Dan Allen, a gaming YouTuber, used the handle TheRealInsider to leak secrets (against NDA). As far as I know he got nothing from it except a bit of minor fame while the persona was active, and wide ridicule when he was found out -- how that's worth enough to risk your reputation and livelihood I can't imagine.

Has a single significant Apple launch not leaked in the last decade? I can't think of any. With the scale of the company and corporate loyalty being what they are these days, it just seems inevitable that many things will leak. Yet Apple persist in a hyper-vigilant program of leak prevention.

There's definitely still huge value in the newsworthiness of the launches. Apple get a lot of free media coverage, and for the most part the press treat the actual launches as news because that final official confirmation matters much more than tenuous leaks.

But I often wonder if the top down focus on secrecy and the famous leak prevention programs are more motivated by the strong desire for focus. One of the challenges of keeping a big company effective is combating the tendency for well-meaning collaboration and suggestion making to turn into sluggish bureaucracy and committees. Secrecy a very powerful tool in optimizing a corporate culture, and reminding everyone that it is definitely not ok to share things has that big benefit too.
Russia using a dirty bomb is unlikely, but you're wrong about the reason why. Ukraine doesn't have anything economically worth what Russia is doing. At this point they're fighting because they don't want to have lost.

A dirty bomb is unlikely because it could lead to escalations by Europe and the USA.
Well, that's why I said public. Personally, I don't think release notes https://help.openai.com/en/articles/6825453-chatgpt-release-... hinted at any such thing, and I think quantization is more likely than distillation.
Why would it be necessary for the author to consider gender identity? I don’t follow the logic of your argument.

The cited example is just the oldest known example of singular “they”. You’ll find more examples. You’d have to rip a lot of pages out of your history books in order to come up with a timeline where singular “they” wasn’t natural English. All that is happening now is that “they” is being used more often to refer to specific, known people, which is not much of a stretch.

Yes, that post is going to be evidence. It potentially ties the leaker to the sister that was fired.

Wow, thanks for those cool ideas, mrieck! I already added AI to spice up the copy that the user enters (it's part of the Advanced plan), but your other ideas go way beyond that, thanks! Indeed, the AI could suggest what to do.

Regarding your 2nd paragraph: Yes, the true problem is not marketing itself with all its practices. The real problem is to make the user get into a habit and do it consistently. To help the user make it happen, I intend to add some kind of gamification and rewards. I was thinking about making it similar to those fitness apps that help the user eat less and exercise more.

In this case, the message would be "build less, market more".
> the vanity of an icon on the phone/tablet screen isn't worth forking 30% to big apple.

I think the biggest problem here is that these icons on the home screen are great retention drivers and if you go through an app store the OS creates it for you while through the browser you have to actively decide to do it. Its also funny how the iPhone initially only had web shortcuts for the screen (and arguably invented the pwa) only to immediately change course once they noticed that Apps are their moat.
But didn't Samsung Fold phone fail? Why did they make it? I am still not certain about holding this thing.
I love how Digi-Key is this huge company and they're based in little tiny Thief River Falls, MN
>Assuming the tipster is not under any NDA, is there anything Apple could take them to court for?

In some jurisdictions (including mine, but I do not know California law) there is the civil tort of Tortious Interference, where Parties A & B have a contract, and Party C improperly pushes/induces B to break their contract with A. A could then have a claim against C. What counts is specific, some sort of financial carrot/stick commonly. The former is obvious, for the latter a classic/textbook example would be if you have a contract to sell 500 foobars to A. Meanwhile C is planning to start selling foobars too, and also has lots of existing business with A that is very valuable to A. So C threatens A, saying they'll stop doing business with them unless they breach their contract with you. There is no explicit bribing or payment there, merely denial of future payment, but that could still be a case for tortious interference.

But it's very possible that there's nothing here actionable (or the tort may not be there in CA), and this is just someone using a very generous "might take legal action". If this goes to court Apple would do discovery and check I assume, but it'd be fact dependent.

Edit: sibling comments mention there is also some specific CA law regarding trade secrets.
There are certainly some places where we aren't running out of land, but I suspect super-high land values and the challenges of permitting new transmission infrastructure might make this economical closer to major metro areas.
The money flow looks like this:

Ad -> YT -> Content Creators

You prevent YT and Content Creators from making money when you block an ad.

Blocking ads of these products, means when you purchase a product (shampoo, razors, etc) more of your money goes into these companies that created these products.

And, in your case, who pays the content creator for the content you enjoy? and who pays for the engineering and infrastructure that delivered the content?

And, since you never saw the ad, you likely didn't buy any product either.
Why would it cost more to do warehouses? Not discussed here.You could say we should do nothing except full scale land solar, stop houses for example.

There's actually a movement to block solar at farms by the Petro industrial complex, since they want to block solar everywhere.
Does it have a something like Apple’s Secure Enclave to protect cryptographic keys? Are apps strongly isolated?

Do you know what the anti-interdiction services are? I’m guessing that the each of the separate components are cryptographically paired so that third parties can’t replace the modem or touchscreen (for example).
I'd love to buy a AMD Ryzen 3 Pro 5350g, but I don't want to deal with the stupid locked CPUs floating around from Lenovo pulls.
It does actually work out sometimes. I had the luck to be on one such team at Microsoft in the past, and we absolutely did have the benefit of cutting through much of the usual red tape etc, while still having access to megacorp resources.

But the only reason why it worked out the way it did is because the "owner" of the team in question 1) sincerely believed in this approach, 2) had enough clout with the top management to make it stick.
If we're embracing solar + storage as our future energy solution we probably should be doing both. We should be building solar plants, and also supplementing it with distributed solar installs on buildings.
It probably is that, just not officially. You know, officially, BFR stands for Big Falcon Rocket.
Back in 2012 the EU’s Article 29 Data Protection Working Party* published an rather readable opinion about the different cookie consent exemptions. Yes, first party analytics are not essential. The WP29 even proposed to exempt them in a hypothetical future privacy directive.

https://ec.europa.eu/justice/article-29/documentation/opinio...

The WP29 is superseded by the European Data Protection Board and there seem to be proposals for an updated ePrivacy Regulation making their way through the system. Signals are mixed. The proposal by the commission from 2017 mentions the usefulness of analytics cookies as a possible exemption. The EDPB on the other hand gives the opinion that a future ePrivacy Regulation should not lower the level of protection offered by the current ePrivacy Directive and looks not kindly on possible exemptions, but describes an exemption for an audience measurement as “very limited privacy risk for the users”.

Interesting. Maybe there is a possibility in the future.

The thing is, once a company creates a proto AGI where the path to a functional AGI is entirely predictable with more compute, they'll keep it a secret. Who would share the fact that the greatest achievement in human history is possible when having it before anyone else gives you a huge competitive advantage?

What percent of boards in the US are staffed by Democrats and Republicans (our one party with two names)?
AI/publishers: the best defence will be attack
If so, you need to get your tap water checked. Something is leaching in. You need one of those little testing kits that turns red when it detects conservative talking points.

In any case, the Democrats have a few large, obvious subgroups: the Justice Dems, the Economic Left, and "MSNBC Liberals." Let's call them the AOC, Bernie, and Biden factions. Sure, they bicker between elections and fight during primaries but they inevitably unite for the general election. Just as with any FPTP coalition.

The Republicans have big divisions too. Trump and DeSantis have very different visions for the party. Remember the chants of "Hang Mike Pence!" on Jan 6? That wasn't unity. Neither was Tucker Carlson getting fired. Next primary season should be entertaining, but 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. Our talking heads do it too, see? No, Republicans will unite for the general. Just as with any FPTP coalition.
I was given an S21 FE for work last year and I tried giving it an honest shot (similarly resetting it in the hopes it would improve) but after a few months I gave up and put the work SIM in my personal iPhone.
If you're writing your processing code, you can also write it with capability to stop and resume more efficiently.
To add to this, manufacturers (HPE) are now requiring an expensive annual fee in order for customers to use the hardware.
Hey, jaggs, thanks for your feedback as well! Of course, the things you mention are all super important, but I thought they might confuse someone who does not have experience in marketing.

But on the other hand, I could add them as further building blocks for marketing, so that the user can stitch them together to form their own playbook. As long as everything feels easy and like a game, I think this could work.

So, thanks again for your suggestions!
I don't get the obsession with CEO salaries. Envy is not a productive way of thinking about economics. In a huge company, distribute the CEO compensation to employees and it will be peanuts (in microsoft's case, it is something like $200 per employee - not per month or anything, that is the total). I don't get it. If all the CEOs in the world were forced to make $0, it will not meaningfully change the amount of money in workers' pockets. It is the wrong tree to bark at.
Just yesterday an HN post stated "Employers have the upper hand" and every comment called it out as being wrong, bullshit, incorrect, whatever. I guess it is possible that a ton of Microsoft employees will leave the company based upon this declaration, but I doubt it.

You are reading much more expansive claims into my wording then the actual claim. I quite carefully chose the wording.

For example, the 24 fps limit is only regarding fooling the brain into perceiving motion, I never commented on the qualitative perception of said motion. Or whether this motion could be revealed to be fake by inserting interstitial frames, etc.
From the MacRumors thread posted by n2d4 (thanks for this context!), it sounds like the tipster was the sibling of the Apple employee who leaked the information.

I don't know if this changes the legal situation any, but it has certainly already (assuming the tipster is honest) led to negative consequences for them: their sister lost her job because of them, and is now no longer speaking to them.
