I'm having trouble finding any reference for the "five minutes per decade" downtime limit. That would be "6 9s" or 99.9999% uptime which is just crazy in today's world. Even today VOIP providers only claim 99.999%, though it seems like in practice many fail to even get close too that. I think I found the 756 page consent decree between Bell and the US you mentioned but I can't find a reference there either, though it is quite a massive doc with so-so OCR: https://www.google.com/books/edition/Consent_Decree_Program_...

Stepping back a bit, it seems like the FCC would be in charge of establishing rules like this but that consent decree I found (which might be the wrong one), is with the house Antitrust committee. (After my own Googling failed I also asked GPT-4 and it isn't aware of this either)

Just a showcase what Russian propaganda looks like in the Nordic countries. My Swedish is decent enough to comprehend a little about Danish, but just feed it into DeepL.

The interesting thing is probably the piggybacking with US influencers.

I think the position of the Danish PET was quite reasonable. Against this backdrop, I am not too keen about the pseudo-science of "cognitive security" pursue in some other Nordic countries. As there has been hardly any visible Russian propaganda beyond fringe circles, these efforts seem to point more toward unwarranted securitization and forward-looking suppression of dissent in the name of national security.
It's been an all star team making stellar steady commits into workerd. Nice & impressive move by the team to invest so big in it & turn around & use that to amp up local dev so much like this. Very nice!

I’m not making a judgement, just an observation. Ultimately in this case they’re moving from cleartext to an E2EE platform (iMessage) so maybe you’d be happier in this case?
You think 9-1-1 doesn't experience downtime?
> So are we saying that software engineering can be at odds with your ability to write code?

This is absolutely the case and my main struggle as a SE. In my opinion this is all arbitrary and companies could easily structure themselves to allow engineers to focus on what they do best, instead of adding a ton of overhead with tasks that someone else that is not trained as an engineer could do. The response seems to always be the same and boils down to "you need to add business value and that includes all these other easy but time consuming tasks".

I seriously doubt that is the only way, but I haven't build a large software company so ultimately it is hard for me to say, however I suspect that if an engineer's time is maximized to practice engineering, it would bring a lot more business value in the long run.
If it's legit. Based on some of the earlier comments, it seems like this claim might be bullshit.
And that's fine. You'd hire locally, you'd move the company, or you'd allow remote work. But you definitely wouldn't fire someone you just hired and forced to move.
Well, precisely the case for telemetry is to make improvements that aren’t obvious to the users. If they were obvious people would see them and send bug reports.

I have used telemetry for mobile apps in the past and now at work to monitor performance of certain software we deploy in client data centers, and there’s a lot of things I notice in the telemetry that users wouldn’t find and report. For example, I remember I was able to fix an issue in a mobile app because I noticed startup times increasing each time users opened the app, and I could fix the problematic cache quickly. I bet most users didn’t really notice. Same at my current job, we’re able to detect slowdowns and processing bottlenecks that for the users just show as subtly erroneous data. Do they notice those fixes? Nope, but that’s the point, I want to be able to fix things before they notice and report them.

Tough to penalize us because Android does not expose RCS APIs. If the only part of Beeper that you don't like is the SMS part, I would recommend disabling that - go back to using Google Messages for SMS and use Beeper for the 14 other chat networks that we support.
I'm not sure what you're advocating as the alternative.

If you're saying that they shouldn't have been bailed out, then that's legit, but it was a rapidly evolving situation and it's easy to play armchair quarterback with future knowledge.

If you're saying that the funds shouldn't have been allowed to be used for executive compensation then you're just sweeping the problem under the rug. Money is fungible, so it just means different funds would have been used for those bonuses. You can easily find examples of this with PPP loans, and there are similar parallels in lottery money being used for schools (it technically is, but at the cost of other money being taken away).

If you're saying that they shouldn't have honored those contracts, then that's a pretty easy lawsuit to win and they'll have to pay out the bonus anyway, plus the additional legal fees.

Right. My point is that you no longer have to buy a new phone every year just to get the latest Android version. The latest, similarly priced Samsung equivalent receives 4 major updates.

Long term support is still not as good as iPhones, but it's no longer the old (to quote the comment above) "Fuck you, buy a new phone", not to mention that on Android some of the new iOS features are actually delivered as normal app updates (gallery app, maps, the equivalent to webkit, etc) or backported via Google services to 4-5+ year old Android versions (eg: file sharing, earthquake warnings, covid tracking support, etc).
You would emigrate from the US?
Correct, but note that if you subject a standard hash table algo to AD it won't magically become a transformer. (Hashes in the "normal construction" are discrete functions and thus aren't really continuous or differentiable, neither are lookup tables)

Wow, wild effort,

> how does this work at a high level? We embed VSCode for Web in the Cloudflare dashboard as an iframe, and communicate with it over a MessageChannel. When the iframe is loaded, the Cloudflare dashboard sends over the contents of your worker to a VSCode for Web extension. This extension seeds an in-memory filesystem from which VSCode for Web reads. When you edit files in VSCode for Web, the updated files are sent back over the same MessageChannel to the Cloudflare dashboard, where they’re uploaded as a previewed worker to Cloudflare's global network.
Well, a hash table is basically a function.

That was my take on Havana Syndrome. And it became clear to me after hearing some spook or other talk about how stressful their job was as evidence that there's no way they could be suffering from anxiety; they didn't believe they were susceptible to the stress.

Is Sam Altman the answer to regulating AI? If yes, why?
They're not arguing that they're better than police, they're saying that police have protections other people don't, and those protections are the only reason they feel comfortable kicking doors down. You're very, very unlikely to find some private security guy willing to kick a door down for some trading cards, because pretty much the first time they're wrong about it they're going to jail. You don't get qualified immunity as private security.

And that's an awfully long paragraph when "no" would have sufficed just fine.

Has HN Changed? I assume it's just me
I've been reading HN for a while. I made my first comment May 31, 2018. And have gone through cycles of engagement during that time. But for the last few weeks, even months, I still scan the top articles daily, but something has changed for me. Historically, there's almost always been at least one thing in the top 30 I would be interested in. Sometimes many. But of late, none of it interests me near as much anymore.

My guess is that this is just pretty much burnout/age me changing.

But I was curious if maybe it was a wider spread effect that others are experiencing. Perhaps the downturn in the tech industry has just led to less of a "this is the place to be and things to know!" experience in general.
> As for how that applies to a hash function, I think the lookup gives some sort of weighting for each possible output, for each input, with the largest weightings corresponding to a "match"

Note that in general one "matches" more than one thing in which case (IIRC) the result will be a weighted linear combination of the query results.

I do think that this collapses to a datastructure equivalent in function to the "normal hash table" (but not in performance, lol) in the degenerate case where every input yields strictly a single result with zero activation in all other results, so it's not invalid to call it a differentiable lookup table.
I'm confused, most of what's in this dataset has nothing to do with RedHat.
I don't necessarily disagree, but I think there's another way of seeing this here that goes: if some of your time is already accounted for by certain tasks, trying to regiment them out further ends up reinforcing the idea that you're losing time constantly. Scheduling out personal time in the same manner as working time pushes you to think about them in relative terms.

As a disclaimer, this is something I go back and forth on and I do tend to use time blocking myself because otherwise I find it hard to maintain direction over long periods of time.

I think most people aren’t nothing to engage because they’re, and your, point of view is completely unrealistic, overly simplistic and clearly not ever going to work in the real world. So instead you have to make emotional pleas, ignore counter arguments because “isn’t it obvious…” and generally pull all the usual shades debate tactics that one does when they know they can’t win an argument on merit alone.

How does such a compensation work fairly when someone people pay the premium to live closer? What’s stopping you from working on the train and counting that towards your working hours? Etc. what’s stopping you from getting a job closer to home?

There’s so many flaws to your argument and the only point you make that cannot be refuted is your sense of entitlement. So it’s not surprising I’m unconvinced.

But we might just have to agree to disagree on this topic. I suspect this is more a question of perceived morality than it is something tangible that can be proved.

Sam Altman suggesting AI dev require licensing is a pretty perfect move to capitalize on AI fear while also blocking new market entrants
Does your ADHD make you feel antsy, like you need to get up and move around?
Disagree. They are serving similar structural roles(although I highly doubt OpenAI is a scam). While it could be expanded in depth, it points the similarity out...
Yeah, this is sort of a case of tearing defeat out of the jaws of victory.

Show up with some money, a bunch of magic swag + cards, and offer to create a card making them some sort of in game knight or king or something. Photograph everything and have them sign a non-disparage and suddenly you've got some PR that's worth it's weight in gold. And the next time a little card mishap goes down you'll get people volunteering to give them back in hopes of a tenth of what you gave out the first time.

Or you could just do nothing because almost definitely nobody actually cares or will notice.

Jumping to sending private security to someone else's private residence feels like an absolute last resort to a much more serious issue.

If you want an effective solution to regulate AI, then it makes sense to involve more than one person, because the task is beyond the capability of any one person, because it’s controlled and used by billions of people. Wittgenstein rolls in his grave at this one, lol

As someone who would actually relocate, I've found it very hard to find companies that would offer relocation reimbursement since they either want someone who is already local or the job is remote but with an optional office available and therefore not a requirement. I personally prefer having an office space and would like to have the option of going but it is becoming increasingly harder to apply out of state to roles with a hybrid/on-site presence.

Every once in a while missing is not a huge deal, but if you see consistent issues with performance it's time to try something else or choose a smaller habit to start with and work your way up.

The submitted title was "World's largest open source company dataset", but (1) "world's largest" is linkbait and the article walks it back, (2) "open source" could be worded better per https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35979581, and (3) the only thing left in the title after taking those out would be "company dataset", which is too generic to be a good title.

Right. A good approach to depression is to learn to simply "turn the TV off" and quiet your brain, but it takes practice to learn how to do that.

More broadly speaking though, depression is partially like being stuck in your foulest possible mood for years, with the full knowledge that it's not going away, at least in the near term.
