Christian Vander is wonderful. If you are looking for more "out there" selections, Coltrane's Interstellar Space is about as weird as music gets. (More sophisticated listeners get more out of this, I just think it's delightfully crazy.) Two people make this noise!

> Prop 13 freezes your tax rate when you purchase the property.

Factually wrong. Prop 13 limits your tax increase to 2% per year.
> In other words, if you're skilled, there's nothing AI can do for you…

If the task you are working on is phone support. If you are a dev, you are perpetually learning new things, it's not possible to memorise the whole field so AI would have more opportunity to help.
You know some of the people actively dismissing them ARE ai researchers? I'd put the ratio 10 to 1 in their favor from meetings and that most of the people panicking are administrator types who over estimate and need to hawk for money.

Their is a stink of ignorance from Bengio and Hinton over what threats are already on the table. They seemed to have blissfully ignored them for their careers. It shows up in their proposed solutions/fears.

It's like bengio complaining about computer science needing ethics as a solution. I did take ethics and I still find his arguments wrong. I would argue that he is overestimating risk and panicking, which will create more damage than good. No, he's just trying to claim some mantel of authority by saying he's the only moral one in the room and castigate his opposition unfairly.

In the parlance of his climate change example, he's al Gore claiming that the world sea levels will rise by 20 feet soon, thereby giving ammo to every climate change denier and turning off anyone who needs convincing.

If Apple announces at VR/AR headset that looks comparable to the Quest, I think the choice is a no-brainer if you care about privacy. And if you're already in the Apple ecosystem, I can only assume that my Apple headset would work seamlessly with my Mac/iPhone/iWatch/iPad.
Stealing from a retailer like Amazon just serves to fuck over employees.

What new draconian measures is Amazon going to institute now that the news has given thousands of asshats the bright idea that they can just get a job at a warehouse and walk off with goods?

I get that theft happens. I've worked in retail and my mother managed a large retail store when I was younger. So I also get that shit rolls down hill. These aren't "victimless crimes". Sure the company isn't effected that much (though, the stock prices of retailers effected by the recent thefts tell a different story), but employees get to share the pain. Managers lose out on bonuses (read: income) from this, and asshole GMs pissed off at missing targets take out their low-level employees.

I distinctly remember retail theft being a reason my mother switched careers. She'd tell me about how she just had to sit back and watch as people rolled TVs out of the store without paying for it and realizing that she'd be the one paying for it.

Could Usenet get “revived”, to replace the soon to be unusable Reddit?

Technically yes. Become widely adopted, maybe if...

There are free Usenet providers for the text groups. People would have to agree on methods to ignore the spam bots, maybe a signed message header/footer that a UI recognizes. There are forums and chat systems that already leverage Usenet as the transport/storage but they all need some tender loving care.

In my opinion for that to be widely adopted people would need a low friction way to access Usenet and it would need to provide them a UI/UX they are familiar with. Perhaps Usenet would be entirely transparent to them. Perhaps it would be a simple nginx web front-end so that anyone could run a node and it would use Usenet on the backend for storage and transport, ideally the sites that implemented NNTPS (TLS). Just nginx+python, or nginx+golang or an nginx module and super-lightweight with secure safe defaults. There would need to be a group set up where all the front-end nodes ingest group keys, identities, etc... and maybe a git repo that bootstraps all of this.

Traditional methods like using a Usenet reader such as Thunderbird? Probably not. Probably very small technical circles. I think this would be akin to convincing people to switch from Discord back to IRCD or using Mumble/Murmur for voice.

That's the thing about hype: it eventually evaporates, leaving just disappointment.
Assuming that bytes are 8 bits long or that negative numbers are represented with two's complement is a lot less dangerous these days than it was when C came along.
If you dig through enough of the discussions, you will definitely see talk around code gen. There's more discussions happening in the background that haven't really percolated out to the moonwalk repo because it's all pretty hand-wavey right now. My intention, when advocating for OpenAPI 3.1 to adopt JSON Schema 2020-12, which brings custom vocabulary support (which I led the design of for JSON Schema), was for additional vocabularies to improve code generation semantics. This has not really happened (for a variety of reasons including that vocabularies weren't quite done and I ended up unable to follow up on the whole thing for several years).

It's not entirely clear to me where things go from here, but I suspect Moonwalk will address it in some way. I'd like to focus on it some (from the OpenAPI perspective more than JSON Schema, specifically) but I haven't found anyone who would sponsor that work (I guess the dollars are flowing more to these alternatives several folks have mentioned)

> ... a smart person has a better concept of consequences and better ways of making money than crime

There are so many examples of smart people disregarding the potential consequences to their actions, I would not know where to start.

Also, are you suggesting that someone with the brains and means to create an app and publish it in an store, will not fathom that their identity must be protected if they were to commit a crime?

This is very cool. The gradient/bkg generator alone is very cool. But I think you’re trying to sell a design tool to developers, even highly proficient CSS developers, who have their _ways_. This is not a $30/month tool to those folks. This is a neat app to generate little parts of a website. Does not look like a daily driver, unless you’re cranking out a lot of unique CSS monthly.
Sounds like what happened near me (https://www.atomichomefront.film/).

What do you mean by self regularisation?
This is really important. One of my friends worked in a startup, an online retail store similar to Amazon, and it came out before Amazon) but the marketing wasn't there, so that service failed.

Nobody knew about it, so it didn't make any profit. Great concept? Absolutely! Look at Amazon today.
But it's still the same company. No thanks. Facebook cannot be trusted.
I'm in a relationship now, but I spent a vast majority of my life single. And the thing I learned from being single, was how to be okay with myself and love myself in spite of the world thinking I was "broken" for being alone. I feel strongly that this independence has fostered a confidence and understanding in all of my relationships that makes me a better person.

And I feel this way because I see people all the time who are the opposite of this. They have to be in a relationship. The moment someone is out of a relationship, they have no coping mechanism for it, until they get into their next relationship. They take no time to process it. They are dependent on the relationship, and can't function without it. I have seen this from men and women. These people disappear when they're in a relationship. Like, I have friends who are only my friend when they're single.

That's not healthy. That's people conflating sex with being loved/important, (and I can absolutely confirm I've seen people do that as part of this). If you don't know what loving/being loved is, it's real easy to assume that whatever you experience that's closest to it is what it is.

There's a Daniel Sloss quote that "If you only love yourself 20% someone can come along and love you 40%, and you'll think 'WOW that's so much that you love me', but it's literally less than half of you that you love. Your self esteem is just so low that you're letting people love you less than you should." (Paraphrased). That's what we risk in people not learning to be okay with themselves as a single people.
FlightAware | multiple roles | REMOTE (US timezones) | Houston / US | https://flightaware.com/about/careers/

Hello from FlightAware! We are hiring for a Network Reliability Engineer to help create, automate, and manage both on-prem and cloud networks. Our team is headquartered in Houston, Texas, but we work as a distributed team and accept remote applicants for work within the United States.

FlightAware has built the world’s leading aviation software platform, processing over 180 million incoming messages an hour from over 30,000 feeds—over 2TB a day and growing—to provide the best, most complete, and most accurate real-time flight tracking services in the industry. We use Python, Rust, C++, Tcl, and JavaScript. We are proud to have built a wide variety of successful products on this foundation that have become central to the aviation industry at large.
That approach uses DEBUG to do the assembly, and then you generate a string in QBASIC containing the assembled bytes. BBC BASIC had the assembler built in, so you'd put the mnemonics in the program code and the interpreter would generate code for you.

One of the built-in variables dictated where the generated code would go, and there was a mechanism for doing 2-pass assembly to resolve forward references. Original manual section for this feature: https://archive.org/details/BBCUG/page/n439/mode/2up

The facility was a bit primitive, even by the standards of the time, chiefly because code and output and symbols all had to live in memory at once, so you'd inevitably need some form of multi-part setup. But you could (and many did) use it to actually write decent-sized programs, even if it probably was a bit annoying: https://www.bbcelite.com/about_site/about_this_project.html
I have no idea how you’d do this at scale, but you’re not wrong. I bought a Quest 1 around when they were released after trying a friend’s headset, I’d been on the fence before that, but afterwards I was totally sold.
Write drunk, edit sober.

Mind altering substances definitely give a new perspective on the problem.
Keeps the game fresh. If the game changes it gives people a reason to want to play again to figure out new combinations. Otherwise the meta gets set and it never changes and that gets old quickly.
Much gnashing of teeth about how increased production from AI is going to decrease quality of life.

On its face this is a second-order impact term though right? If you live in the fat tail (ie not already saturated) then more content could be a big improvement even if AI generated. And one of the big lessons of the last decade or two is that most people have some niche interests as well as some degree of mainstream ones. I bet on a continuation of the trend of fractal micro-hobbies.

However I think there is another first-order term that’s being under appreciated- AI improves discoverability and quantity consumed by search/retrieval and summarization.

Once the tooling has been figured out I’ll be able to get personalized AI recommendations and summaries of all the content I would normally consume through well-known sites and RSS, and thereby stay abreast of way more fields, and sift through way more content. Concretely for podcasts - currently I just scroll through a few podcasts I follow and see if any look especially interesting, but I expect soon to be able to get a weekly/monthly email with just the “shortlist quality” relevant ones.

Maybe it turns out to be way harder to filter with AI and overall quality ratios go down, but I’m quite skeptical and we haven’t tested this with real products. I’d reserve judgement until we get a bit further into the product cycle.
Does that thing still requires a facebook account to be used?

> stars - the likelihood that an issue affecting us will affect someone else. More people affected, the more likely it gets fixed

So you are equating stars with adoption, which they are really aren't a good measure of. Even in the most favorable interpretation stars can only serve as a proxy for adoption when used in combination with a lot of other signals.

Especially for hyped topics, even ungamed stars are more directly a proxy for interest rather than adoption. And as many startup founders of failed freemium products can tell you, very often interest doesn't translate to adoption.

I had to learn that myself the hard way when I helped create a top 5 starred Rust project at the time (~5k stars), which I can tell you for certain no more than a handful of people outside the company used.
The War of 1812? What a bizarre thing to commemorate.

If anything it was a draw and I say that as a Canadian. The USA were the aggressors and never got anything so really it was a loss for the US.

YouTube has been actively making the Chromecast experience worse. I often get toasts saying there was an error (without saying what the error was), and it shows a banner over the lower part of the video telling me that I can start a Premium free trial to get rid of ads. That banner has a dismiss button on it, but Chromecast has no way to click on an on-screen button, and no corresponding button appears on the casting device. The level of UX incompetence on display here is simply mind-blowing.
That is a very good question and I'm really sorry that I won't be able to answer it. All that I remember is that I took a bunch of source files from older projects (mostly KIM-1) and tried to import them into BBC basic assembler and ended up having to do a bunch of changes (for instance the '&' sign for hex numbers, instead of $) to get it to accept them, as well as some missing directives. But it's too long ago to remember the details, and I don't have any systems from that time anymore (except for my very first Sharp pocket computer :) ).
> You can repeat this as often as you want to, but I will not agree that we live in post-factual times and everything is fully subjective.

I figured as much. It's hard to believe you're not at the center of the universe.

> If you give somebody the tools to find the truth themselves they will not be necessarily follow their parents indoctrination.

You have to indoctrinate someone with the doctrine that "the truth" as the output of those tools. The problem you're having is you refuse to acknowledge that, and arbitrarily redefine certain kinds of indoctrination as not-indoctrination.

It's probably because you need to feel that indoctrination is something that only the other guys do, because you've labeled indoctrination as bad thing done by baddies, and think of yourself as a goodie.

> Try to consider whether you really wish to treat every single viewpoint as equal.

I obviously don't. I have by own viewpoint that I prioritize over others because it's mine. I just don't lie to myself pretend that preference has a faux "objectivity."
I suspect that for him, possessing a real and/or physical copy carried additional symbolic value.

According to friends reading is still fairly prevalent for Windows and other products at Microsoft. Kind of a requirement to succeed in jobs with a C/C++ product where you might only have memory dumps to debug. It's also expected to some extent if you are a performance guru in some areas.

The most interesting thing to me is how little of a productivity boost you are seeing among higher skilled agents. Top quintile is getting an expected 2% boost with no change in the confidence interval.

This jives with a lot of the heterogeneous commentary you see on HN among engineers. GPT-3/4 are a godsend when approaching new systems; the productivity gain is quite small if you are already skilled.
It's to note that Michael Morhaime, one of the founder of the company who was CEO for decades isnt involved with the company anymore. He was one of the geniuses that made blizzard what blizzard was.
Agreed. Value-wise this is a $30 product with one year of free upgrades, not $30/month.
You can write it in JSON, you know. Not even "JSON as a subset of YAML" but actual JSON. The proposed media types are application/openapi+yaml and application/openapi+json
Having predictable revenue is a huge reason.

As opposed to super lumpy revenue due to bursts of revenue coming in after a new version release.

There's also a lot of business risk because if you have a new version people don't like, they don't have to upgrade and now you don't get that burst of revenue your company needs to stay afloat.

EDIT: also, perpetual licenses create the wrong incentives. We've all complained about software bloat before. With a perpetual license, you only get paid on upgrades ... creating a situation where the software vendor jams in more (unneeded) functionality in order to justify creating a new version release.
The author has written a bunch of similar extensions in the past. I am sure a lot of that code was reused.
This, VR enthusiasts like some of my colleagues are waiting vividly for better visors.
That last line is what a true marketeer should want, and by extension, good marketeers are good product people because they understand what the market needs and wants.
Someone here came up with the idea of Government ownership. First fine, 5-10% non-dilutable ownership that the Government can't divest for 10 years. That punishes the owners and adds the headache of having the Government now in-house instead of outside looking in. Keep it up and ultimately the Government holds a controlling stake in the company to force compliance.
I don't think I have any software subscriptions. I used to have a Tweetbot subscription, which was fairly cheap and definitely useful, but I probably don't have to detail what happened to that.

Otherwise I think the only subscription I have left at the moment is Humble Choice. And that's kind of a weird one since you don't need to keep the subscription active to keep the rewards, and you can in fact to choose whether or not to pay month-to-month.
After reading the title a couple times, I was able to parse it to mean that the blame is placed such, because the company problem is seen as the exposure of, rather than actual happenings. If so, they are the problem.
