I largely agree with this. I've been coding professionally a pretty long time and have worked with a wide variety of languages (including quite a lot of Objective C back in the day), and I've just never met a language with a larger surface area than Swift.

I can work with Swift and be productive with it, but at the same time, I feel like I still encounter new patterns, gotchas, property wrappers, language quirks, language changes, type-system oddities, etc, almost every day, and I have a hard time keeping track of it all.
Wait, they say it is white not just about a cloudy sky but also about a clear sky? (Which would suggest they think "white" means "bright", which doesn't seem too unreasonable.)

> We can still fix the issue now though, by creating a targeted law against them.

That's not a great idea, since it will invite a lawsuit on the (potentially valid) grounds that it's a de facto bill of attainder. Which the US has traditionally taken a dim view on for very good reasons.

Better would be if it prompted a more general law about foreign ownership of corporations which have access to large amounts of information on US persons, regardless of how it is obtained or who they are.

As a US citizen, I don't want any government that I don't have input into -- even the relatively indirect and less-than-satisfying input of casting one vote among millions -- compiling a dossier on me, and I expect my government to do what it can to make that at least somewhat difficult. (And yes, I am aware there is no way to stop it completely. If the Chinese government wants to task its intelligence service to compile a dossier on me, there's nothing much that can be done about it. But let's at least try to raise the bar on the difficulty and effort involved. The more difficult and expensive, the more illegal, and the more internationally frowned-upon the task becomes, the harder it is to do at scale to millions or billions of people at once.)
Cool idea, reminds me of OpenStore and similar.

I think that anyone desperate would submit regardless, but I think that any non desperate sellers won't submit without knowing some information on who you are.
Making it illegal to have the company block/veto the sale of shares would definitely improve the picture. IMO it's a break in property law to have a contract that says "You own the property and have all it's liabilities (like taxes) but you do not have the right to sell that property to a willing, SEC qualified, and able buyer" ...
Not a direct answer but the BEAM, Elixir and LiveView are ridiculously easy to scale vertically (i.e. add more CPU and RAM, the scheduler takes care of everything else), and horizontally (cluster forming and distribution of processes among multiple nodes is a first-class feature)

If people build multi-billion dollar companies on top of PHP and Node.js, I would not even be concerned about scaling Phoenix.
This is a chronically unprofitable company and anyone who bought at the IPO price has just been exit liquidity. The VCs and founders who cashed out on IPO day are the only winners in this failure.

After years of Lyft predicting profits quarter after quarter, we have given Lyft enough time and it seems they are on course to be either acquired by private equity or at worse case, filing for bankruptcy.

Wow talk about an extreme position.

Hey, then there's people like me who have relied on Lyft and Uber for years because we don't drive. Even in a city like SF, there are places that are hard to reach without a car.
> Indeed, it's quite fascinating how rapidly technology has advanced, isn't it? Your Blade Runner analogy is spot on - we're pushing the boundaries of what's possible, creating a world Philip K. Dick might have recognized.

Yes, I think that if we were all living on the internet, we'd already be there by now :)

Yet, as amazing as this technology is, what amazes me even more is that we're still not sure where it will have the most impact.

There's no doubt that it will, even if you ignore the hype, but it's too early to tell exactly where and to what degree.

Right now, it still looks like a cool technology in search of a real problem to solve.

We'll just have to wait and see where it will prove the most valuable.

Are there even IP cameras manufactured domestically to even choose? I have some inside my home (pointed at exterior doors; not inside bedrooms which seems borderline creepy and/or sadistic), but they're not connected to public networks and thus I don't consider them a risk.
If Lyft is allowed to go out of business, it doesn't mean Uber necessarily takes over; it means there'll be opportunities for others (including legacy cab associations) to fill the void.

If Lyft dies, if anything it'll spook investors about Uber's prospects given that market forces would have led to the demise of a direct competitor. If the two merge, investors will instead be motivated to bolster the combined firm.

Honestly, I harbour just a smidgeon of hope that cases like this will nudge companies to reevaluate the whole “find text that could be a link with a missing protocol” feature and realise that it’s a terrible idea that causes more trouble than it solves. If you want a link, write a proper URL.

The embedded tweet shows another problem, too:

> Grrr... Because .zip is a valid TLD, it's impossible to know whether http://t.co/webB2l1Y9w should be a URL or a filename.

Twitter mangle your links to use t.co including the presented text, so that embedders have no way to determine that the text was supposed to be “example.zip” without following the link or the tweet link. There may have been some purpose to t.co quite a few years ago, but the reasons justifying it vanished completely a few years ago, leaving behind just something that is completely hostile to users and security common sense.

(This also reminds me of Cloudflare’s “email address protection” feature, which catches and mangles (in a you-need-to-run-our-JavaScript sort of way, so it doesn’t actually affect most people) various things that aren’t and can’t be email addresses, like package-name@1.2.3.)

If it's a choice between an Uber acquisition and Lyft going out of business, then yes, I definitely would rather Lyft goes out of business. Monopolies are bad for society, so if we're going to end up with one for a while, it should be as small as possible.

I think the end game for this industry is, as you say, self-driving cars, but I agree that's far away. In the meantime, I think the stage after this one, which is where companies burnt cheap money in hopes of market domination, is one where the tooling becomes available in a white-label fashion and we see plenty of people starting taxi-ish businesses.
AiPlayground, also known as aipg.io, is a directory of AI tools that aims to curate both the existing and upcoming AI tools. The website allows visitors to save their favorite tools and search through a vast collection of AI tools, which can be sorted by date, price, and alphabetical order. Many of the tools also have intro videos that provide a preview of how they work, and the site also includes tags to help users easily categorize the tools. In addition, the site has other features in development, such as AI Learn, which will provide learning resources based on AI. This feature will be particularly helpful for developers who are new to machine learning.

The US government is and has always been reactive, not proactive.

About the most forward-thinking the US gets is writing the occasional contingency plan. Everything else is done in haste once a serious problem becomes plainly obvious to everyone, and people (deep-pocketed ones especially) start screaming to their elected representatives to fucking do something about it. Then and only then do the gears start to turn.
But then it would no longer be the same AI. You can't expect it to experience empathy or sadness if it has no knowledge of the things that cause them in humans, but any text discussing them would be mixed up with the experience of whoever wrote it.

Or if you use a less selective filter then it goes the other way. Exclude philosophy texts but not Facebook posts and it would still have what it needs to emulate emotional text regardless of whether it has ever seen a formal discussion of it. And it could plausibly extrapolate from that to an analytical discussion, having seen both that and analyses of other subjects, without ever feeling anything itself.
I think the idea is perhaps today you shouldn’t be, but there’s intense interest in the possible capabilities of LLM in all systems high or low value. Hence the desire to figure out how to harden their behaviors.

I think it makes a lot of sense in theory to consider adding CPUs as horizontal scaling, but in practice I'm not sure it makes sense. Moving your app to a machine with twice as many CPUs is more like moving it to a machine with twice as much RAM than it is like doubling the number of machines your app is deployed to.
Edit: oh okay just downvote because of an observation. Nice community here!
I think it's about knowing what people are interested in and having an algorithm that can control what people see and to try to nudge them to be more/less interested in certain things.

Eugene Wei's article [0] helped me see how TikTok uses more of an interest graph, whereas many of the other platforms use more social graphs. By this, I think he means that TikTok cares much more about knowing what people are interested in than knowing to whom they're connected.

> But what if there was a way to build an interest graph for you without you having to follow anyone? What if you could skip the long and painstaking intermediate step of assembling a social graph and just jump directly to the interest graph? And what if that could be done really quickly and cheaply at scale, across millions of users? And what if the algorithm that pulled this off could also adjust to your evolving tastes in near real-time, without you having to actively tune it?

I think the fear is that the algorithm can be tweaked to nudge people towards things that the platform, or in this case, the CCP, want them to want.

For example, if I see you watching videos about the book 1984, and I want you to be less interested in things that promote fear of a totalitarian government, and I also know that you feel really afraid of your home getting robbed, I can have the algorithm show you more videos about homes getting robbed so that you boost your feelings of fear of neighbors and therefore you may even want to have a stronger government to protect you from your neighbors.

Sure, but it’s a question of relative size and importance. There’s probably always a use for some taxis, but you’re going to need more the worse the public transport system is.
Some GeoPolitlcal context:

* If you don't know about Erdogan, theres too much for a HN thread.

* The 1936 Montreux Convention allows Turkey to deny any country at war (not with Turkey) to deny warship passage, except to return home.

* Turkey is an incredibly important part of NATO because of their ability to choke Black Sea access.

* This has kept Russia's warm warm navy in check, particularly for the Ukraine conflict

* NATO requires Democracy and "Rule of Law" for member nations

* NATO has never had to remove a member state, and honestly nobody is sure how that'd happen

* The US leases airbases in Turkey, with nuclear penetration bombers and nuclear warheads stored on site.

* Russia has always seen this as a double standard when the US complains about Russia putting nukes in places like Belarus.

* Trump denied Turkey access to the F-35 program because they chose to install S400 systems from Russia.

* Credit due were credit due, military analysts generally agree this was a good decision, and it was at the request of bi-partisan lawmakers.

* The thought was Russia could profile F-35 fighter's radar returns somehow with S400 systems

* This is _in spite_ of Turkey committing funds to the F-35 program, which to this date, said funds have not been returned to Turkey.

No actually, it doesn't have the same effect, because lyft can simply downsize itself, to only being in profitable areas, which still has positive competitive effects.
Do CEO's really job hop though? I am looking at top tech companies and they seem to have been there for a long time and none of them are job hoppers.
The notion that money-losing companies should go out of business isn't extreme. That's mainstream chamber-of-commerce thinking. And that's before we even get to the criminal stuff.

Even just learning how to use CTEs effectively has been a major improvement for my daily work. Building up a dataset iteratively in clearly defined steps and performing aggregations, transformations, orderings, etc along the way is just a very clean way to work. And it's easy to short-circuit at any step for debugging if you're not getting the results you expect. I often work with datasets larger than the amount of memory on my computer so has benefits there as well instead of trying to load it all into Python memory to work with it.

I'm not criticizing. I think less than an order of magnitude from an off-the-head memory is just fine. And after 10 years, computers have gotten more powerful. ;)

I misread the paper. I think is saying that finding the minimal size is NP-complete. Here's the abstract:

"The hitting set problem is computationally hard; it is one of Karp’s 21 classic NP-complete problems. A standard backtracking algorithm for finding hitting sets would not be fast enough to search for a 16-clue sudoku puzzle exhaustively, even at today’s supercomputer speeds."

For context, https://arxiv.org/pdf/1601.02939.pdf says:

"It has been known since Karp’s seminal 1972 paper [42] that the problem of determining whether a given set family has a hitting set of size no greater than some k is NP-complete.
Mostly agree. But there is no LLM equivalent of prepared statements available, that's the problem. And I don't think this is necessary to have multi-turn statements. Assuming there's some other technical constraint, because you could otherwise expose a slightly more complex API that took a list of context with metadata rather than a single string and then added the magic tokens around it.
You succeeded at appearing ignorant as well.
