Yep, and when there is a dozen companies taking their obligations to the public extremely seriously, loading their cars with at least as many sensors as it takes to operate safely for the R&D phases, deploying in limited phases and not directly into the hands of the public, and not marketing their unproven tech as “Full Self Driving,” I think it’s completely reasonable to single out the one company who’s not doing any of that.
Maybe it’s just that I’m no longer in my 20s (or that I have only worked for european companies) but I do not work extra hours. If the project is going to “fail” because we are not willing to do crunch time (spoiler: the project is not going to fail because of that) then let it be. Mismanagement of time is on managers not on engineers. I can help sure in a punctual situation, but I’ve never done it so far.
The difference is that the Allies helped France rebuild instead of making it pay indemnity [1] for the actions of the Vichy regime.

For some reason this is an unpopular opinion on HN but I'm going to say it again: federation solves a problem users don't care about and creates problems like this (as well as all the other predictable problems we've seen from decades of email such as spam).

For context, it seems like Elon Musk is toying with the idea of removing blocking from Twitter [1].

As another aside, I'm personally exhausted with the pet projects of annoying billionaires [2].

You're really missing the point. It won't actually be cheaper except for the few customers who rely mostly on public transportation.

Driving children to activities is hardly a "corner case". It's bizarre how disconnected many HN users are from how regular middle class Americans live. Very few married couples with children would be able to manage with one car; they often need to go different places.

> are you OK with the bank using a hash of your account number to identify your account instead of the number itself?

Why not? Cryptographically, entropically, there's no difference between a call to "give me a uuid to throw on this new account" and "now crunch it through a sponge function and use that instead"

Your uuid generator will probably check for uniqueness, or your database will enforce unique values, so there's a few places you would be alerted of the collision, but 2^256 is a very large number
Non-profits still need enough revenue to meet expenses.
After playing Ultima III and IV on an Apple as a kid I really wanted to learn enough to program games like that. Unfortunately, I simply wasn't smart enough to understand the subtle details of Apple IIe machine language, graphics, and audio programming at the time, and by the time I knew enough, computers had gotten so much better than Doom and Quake were setting new standards for 3D graphics (at which point I also wanted to write a Quake clone).

Seems like it should be completely obvious, but when I worked at $SOCIAL_MEDIA_CO there were several Engineers who refused to use the product but claimed this had no effect on their work.
That use of “growing” seems… backwards.

They're offering paid API access. Do you think they're only expecting non-profits to use it?

If nobody can make your pricing work and offer a product, then you're losing out on that revenue. I'm not saying they should be allowing API access at a loss, but if they've priced every API user out of the market and they aren't pricing at cost or at their actual expected revenue per user internally then that means they're taking actions that are net negative with regard to profit.

I, like many others, think that their pricing is nowhere near the actual per user expected revenue, so either they're doing something incredibly stupid and shutting out a source of profit, or the goal of this was never really to monetize the API, and instead to kill third party apps while attempting to give themselves some cover from the negative publicity of those actions by reframing it as asking for the third party apps pay for the cost of their previously free access.

I think the latter is more likely, but you know what they say about attributing malice...

What do you mean by this? Do you have some examples in mind. Also, the airline is a different entity now from a few years back.

I am sure they would have but this might have been a concession few governments might have secured to keep flights economically viable.
And not to forget the third category: storage/archival formats. JPEG XL is unlikely to get widespread browser support, but that doesn't mean it isn't a good format to store high qualitiy originals. Either because they never touch a browser (my image viewer supports JXL) or because all images go through the resizing proxy anyways.
Sure it is. Being capable of generating takeoff thrust on one engine and being able to climb on one engine are part of the FAA requirements. You will need more runway, but you don't need a test pilot as planning for obstacles you may not be able to clear at an airport is something every commercial pilot has to do.
It's frustrating to see such a long article about diabetes that never clarifies the type. Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes are entirely different diseases, and it does a massive disservice to both communities to refer to it as just "diabetes" without even an attempt at clarification. (Not to mention the other, more rare, sub types.) They're entirely different diseases, and vastly different in terms of their causes and treatments.
Nope, I remember when I was young flipping through options for different assistants seeing that his name was Clippit. Bothers me to this day that people call him Clippy and would look at you as if you had two heads if you called him Clippit.

I would love the ability to copy someone else's block list. Some various popular personalities on ActivityPub have had to deal with abuse from servers and individuals that I would like to preemptively filter out of my time line.

However, that shouldn't be the default.

I'm not sure why this page keeps bringing up that "people on other platforms can find out if they're blocked or not". You're always going to have ways to detect that. It doesn't address the conclusion "so it may as well just be public".

There's something to be said for server-local blocking ("muting"), which this post also advocates. However, if you're going with that approach, why put "real" blocks in your protocol?
Nothing happens *yet*. The law's already on the books, like a loaded Chekov's gun: America's executive has plenary authority to nuke the internet for any "emergency" the incumbent gerontocrat deems fit to declare. (See [0]). If it isn't happening every day, well, my interpretation is that that's because the thought hasn't *yet* occurred to our insane political class, to abuse this horrific power for entertainment.

(When it does start happening, it'll be obvious in hindsight we should never have let it get that far. Not that we'll be able to complain much).

> I bought my X in 2018 with FSD prepaid - it's 5 years old now, and thanks to the gratis retrofitted computer upgrades it has the same level of FSD functionality as a factory-new Model Y purchased today

i.e. neither your 2018 model X nor a factory Model Y is anywhere close to "Full Self Driving". Remember what Musk promised in 2017: "In November or December of this year, we should be able to go all the way from a parking lot in California to a parking lot in New York with no controls touched in the entire journey."

We're in 2023. You got scammed, and you're still defending the scammer.
In Spain we have a similar exam that all students must pass to access university, and where the grade decides which degrees you can study. It's also a pretty big deal, maybe not for everyone but at least for people who want to study degrees with high demand, like medicine.

We don't cut the internet.
The executive branch can shutoff the internet, but since they can’t nuke the following election, they would be MAD to do so. A lot of powers aren’t exercised simply because our elections are still somewhat fair.
I rather focus on the disadvantages of additional layers to debug, with their own set of libraries, and on Kotlin's case, a way to sell InteliJ licences.

Meanwhile using Java, means using JDK out of the box with no extra sugar. Pretty healthy.
If the stakes are as high as the other comments here are saying, it makes sense to have dedicated exam rooms.
Many small startups generate fake traffic, either for testing or for marketing purposes (e.g. cheating on the numbers).

I would be surprised to find any successful company that had no shenanigans in their origin story.

My history included a startup that shipped empty boxes to meet numbers, scraped thousands of emails from more popular websites to sell as their own traffic, even one that forged stock certificates to secure funding. (The FBI ended that one)
Who invigilates the invigilators?
I think it’s perfectly reasonable to say that many people get into management for the money. My thought is that the motivation, the incentive, is wrong.

I’ve had too many shitty managers in my career to think I’d put other people through similar experiences. So, my switch into management was motivated by, hopefully, making the experiences on my team positive ones
Large mod actions? Like nuking a thread? I sincerely hope the API includes bulk actions so it only takes one call to delete a list of comment ids
There are many [1] many [2] many [3] many [4] many [5] many [6] many [7] examples of people who died as a result of our hospital systems being overloaded and being forced to ration care. This is what was meant by the geometric growth of hospital patients and how many hospital systems were close to outright breaking. You are ultimately factually wrong and extremely unaware of how much stress this put on our hospital systems and how many people died because of what you were suggesting. Now imagine how much worse it would've been if we did nothing.

I'm happy to take a crack at Go and C++, but coming from Java it is totally impossible to decipher wtf is going on in Scala. Kotlin is better, but still pretty awful.

Also, devs who use Go and C++ usually have a good reason (embedded systems and such), but Kotlin and Scala use seems to be motivated mostly by vaguely hipster-y annoyance with Java 8. And, like, sure, if you are annoyed by Java 8 and then use a language designed to have nothing in common with Java 8 except that it can import Java libraries and run in the JVM... well, it's gonna be a pain in the butt for your colleagues who do Java all day. And some of them aren't going to make the effort to work with it.
I worked for a storied Japanese imaging corporation.

The final stage of their Image Quality QC was always "The Old Men With Good Eyes."

There were some employees that were professional "eyballers." They had full veto power.

I'm not sure if they still do that, but it would not surprise me, if they did.
I don't think he was even saying they were paying $20M in server costs. He was saying that if their claim that they're missing out on $20M in potential revenue from those users is correct, they should buy the app for $10M and make a 2x return on investment in one year.
> Here I think Reddit fails by having a global karma count instead of one that's localized to the 'state' and subreddit you're on.

This information exists and is maintained on the backend.

Pull up your profile on old.reddit and click on "show karma breakdown by subreddit".

Note that this isn't publicly available (/u/johnsmith1234568 has 1k karma in /r/someIdeoligcalSub - they're banned from participating here).
Perhaps so, but the difference in principle there would be that those involve taking yourself out of the equation, not everyone else. If I think I can't control myself around a bar of chocolate, I'm just not gonna put myself into a situation where I have one, not force a country-wide ban so there's no chance any chocolate can possibly end up near me because then I might have to exercise some self control, that's just outrageously egoistical.

If people couldn't actually control themselves to any degree, society as-is wouldn't function at all. We clearly have a high capacity for it, hell even a trained dog can hold itself back from taking a small treat if it knows it'll get a larger one if it waits. But there needs to be a reason for it, if people have nothing to lose I suppose they won't have a reason to hold back from anything.

>But imagine taking a resilient business like a McDonald's franchise and subjecting it to Musk levels of chaos.

I dunno, look at private equity buyouts, which Twitter kind of resembles—Musk somehow convinced banks and Twitter itself to foot most of the bill for his purchase.

The whole point is to avoid putting money into the prey company by saddling it with debt, while you squeeze every last cent of value out of its living corpse. It can take a long time for companies to die when this happens: Sears is a solid case study from recent times.

https://ivyexec.com/career-advice/2018/sears-case-business-f...

Considering how little of his own money Musk spent on the deal, I wouldn't be surprised if he was just having fun lighting a huge pile of other peoples' money on fire. He's obviously gotten bored with his car and spaceship toys.
>The school bus was displaying its stop sign and flashing red warning lights, a police report said, when Tillman Mitchell, 17, stepped off one afternoon in March. Then a Tesla Model Y approached on North Carolina Highway 561.

>It struck Mitchell at 45 mph. The teenager was thrown into the windshield, flew into the air and landed face down in the road, according to his great-aunt, Dorothy Lynch. Mitchell’s father heard the crash and rushed from his porch to find his son lying in the middle of the road.

Elon should really stop the yearly Level 5 promises. Also, that driver should be charged with negligence.

The second party can find out if they're blocked by the first party.

A third party cannot find out all the people that the first party blocked.

That's a massive usability difference.
The 225 is a stretched 224, it's pretty unlikely that the engines of 777 are too long for a 124.
Same here. Dark sky was the best app in the category and weather hasn’t gotten anywhere close.
I mean this is kind of how the US works as well. The "select group" is basically the rich, who are free to pour as much money as they want into elections, and also control the media, making them essentially the rulers of the country (except for military matters).
Mostly a bad thing, at companies with lots and lots of Java devs.
Google has been forced to update to Java 11 LTS and Android 14 brings Android 17 LTS.

It turns out that Kotlin being able to consume Java libraries is worthless if Android can only use jurassic libraries.
It does, but it doesn't have a good way to get a public hostname + publicly trusted certificate.

Using self-signed https or https with an externally provided cert is "easy" but not something a normal user would or could do (properly).

The parent can correct me, but I read it as "there should be no test where the stakes are high enough to warrant shutting own the internet, diverting air traffic, escorting students by police, or any other such high impact event." Which is equivalent to saying "no need for such an exam" but just in a different way. It follows a pretty common native (born, not race) American-English speech style.

i use gpt4 daily.

it’s not very good at writing code, but can write code in small well defined chunks.

i’m working on a game with blender, cpp, physx, and wickedengine.

it writes a lot of python for blender with prompts like:

blender. python. apply transforms to every object unless X.

these tend to work, if scoped small enough, and any exceptions or failures are put as followup prompts.

writing python for blender is more annoying than hard, so this is great.

the other type of prompt i use a lot is like this:

blender. did X. expected Y. got Z. why?

i use prompts like these a lot, for cpp, physx, and wickedengine. often i ask for code, but not to copy it verbatim, but because i’m thinking in code.

these types of prompts usually output a list of possibilities. almost always the list contains what i’m looking for. usually it’s the first item.

a gamedev prompt might be:

wickedengine. code. how to rotate normal 90 degrees right on y in world?
