I thought about rewording my comment, perhaps I should have. I was responding to a comment that tried to muddy the waters by essentially changing the subject. I likely should not have responded, since the comment may not have been in good faith.

But obviously people on HN debate all kinds of stuff without having any background, that's part of the fun! Also entirely reasonable for others to inform folks that there is a background of which they may be unaware.

The point I was making is that none of the decisions around the EITC are flippant, and one is unlikely to pop onto HN with a novel idea. Your comment is nothing like that, you're citing papers and Congressional testimony. There is absolutely debate here, but helpful debate must be informed by a basic understanding of the lay of the land.

For what it's worth, Heriot's position in the cited paper is intellectually interesting (and not similar to the parent comment) but not currently represented at all in our laws or legal precedents.

> Those holding bachelor's don't have higher median wages than those without, in your area? That's wild. Yikes.

Overall median is $38k.

But, again, bachelors degrees have never shown to have any bearing on income, aside from the aforementioned filtering mechanism, so what makes it wild? It is not surprising at all that regularly functioning, able-bodied, people are going to make the approximately same amount of money. The productivity potential across them is approximately the same. It is clear that those with disabilities and other life struggles which impact productivity do make less than the typical, able-bodied person, and understandably so.

What would be wild is if someone's hobby they engaged in for a few years during their early adult years made a radical difference.
Stepping back from the direct chef/restaurant analogy, I think it's easy to imagine how being characterized as a "manager" compared to a "master" might piss someone off.

I've been talking up the idea of finally settling on a PE certification for software engineers (in the U.S.). It seems like most of the risks and responsibilities being discussed in the context of government regulations could be addressed with mechanisms similar to what we rely on for aircraft, bridges, power plants, etc. -- all those areas have processional credentialing in addition to bureaucratic oversight.
However if you wait for things to go wrong, determining what your code of conduct _should have been_ will be done in the heat of the moment, which is a far more dangerous place to be.
I think if anything, this shows that CEOs aren't any better at predicting the future than you or I.

My entire online social life(which got really big due to friends moving and covid) is 100% on discord.

Many of my friends also don't have social media and we all exist within a discord server and share our lives and game together very often.

Discord has this buy in like a social media platform for a lot of people.

It's what I've described above--plus communities moving to discord and away from reddit.

If you do an online game now you will end up on discord if you're even halfway serious about the game.

One of the big things discord has allowed for my friend group is it's the first platform like this that has brought in the "normies". People who would never visit a forum and didn't even know teamspeak or ventrilo ever existed.

It's a smooth experience at almost all times on desktop and mobile.

If you go to college nowadays most of the majors have discords--and study groups have discords.

My friends don't even text me anymore, they DM me on discord and have for years at this point.
I check out Warp every 6 months or so, because I’d love to see more innovation with the terminal, and the screenshots look great. But the story’s the same every time: I download the app, fire it up, and am greeted by a mandatory ‘sign up’ screen and privacy policy, at which point I close and immediately delete the app.

I will never be okay with a terminal that requires me to have a proprietary login to operate on my own local file system with local tooling.

> It requires extra effort for no benefit.

There is a benefit, although it may not be useful for your use case. In that situation, I agree with you -- use a different language.

I find it interesting that so many comments here criticizing C (and a couple of other languages) seem to be taking the stance that "if it isn't good for every kind of task, it isn't good for any kind of task".

Every language both rocks and sucks, depending on what you're doing with it. There is no One Ring to Rule Them All. That's why we have so many different languages -- we should be choosing the one that fits the job at hand.

This is why I think holy wars over languages are always ridiculous. Any given language may be a terrible choice for a particular job. That's not a fault of the language, it's just a sign that language is the wrong tool. Use a different tool.
I was thinking of doing something simple and silly like a model of our solar system with the idea that you can get close ups to everything based on recent high res. images ( ok, maybe that part is not that simple ).
What? No. An ad hominem is "I think your argument is wrong because your face is stupid". "This is bad software because it looks like it's made by amateurs" isn't attacking their character, it's attacking their ability to write good software, which is highly relevant.

Wikipedia: "disruptive innovation is innovation that creates a new market and value network or enters at the bottom of an existing market and eventually displaces established market-leading firms, products, and alliances"

ChatGPT is at least arguably disruptive innovation, but this sense of disruption is not something you can maximize or minimize with a publicity campaign.

And by "coherent", I mean a theory of Altman's motives that is consistent with at least some of his incentives. I don't see what he would get out of generally causing chaos.

Have you ever tried to sign up for one of those "turk" gigs? Like MechanicalTurk, MicroWorkers, etc? It's just horrible. This was about to happen.

Answers like this worry me, because it implies you believe that general principles can be taught without teaching basic facts or learning specific examples. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it's generally agreed upon that it's easiest to learn a specific example first, then use that as a jumping off point to take on the more daunting task of learning general principles.

Programming languages are a great example of this -- in an introductory programming class, you're going to learn to create programs in a specific language, using all the constructs necessary to do so. And after you have some experience and mastery with that language, you have something to compare and contrast other languages against. And it's that mastery that actually inspires (more than) a few to program for fun.
tl;dr explanation: Qt is dual-licensed under the GPL and commercial licenses. Selling the latter is how The Qt Company makes money. To be able to sell exceptions to the GPL, the company needs to own all of the copyright, which means there's a risk they might change the license to something non-free one day (like MongoDB, Elastic, etc. did).

This is basically a poison pill to mitigate that risk. If The Qt Company ever stops releasing Qt under the GPL (or a GPL-compatible license), then the KDE Free Qt Foundation is allowed to release it under a pushover license, which would remove the need for anyone to purchase a commercial license and so end The Qt Company's revenue stream.

I agree. I think as an expert he might be blind to what Apple is capable of doing. He has already updated some of his comments based on new shit coming to light.
yeah people arbitrarily throw content federation and identity federation into the same bin.

you can get a lot of the squeeze of a centralized reddit-style service (in terms of low-friction user signup) without needing actual content federation. One ID can still let you post on multiple boards without needing to sign up in 27 places, and that doesn't need content federation.

It also significantly reduces the moderation problem because now you are letting {Google,Facebook,Apple} solve (or at least gate/significantly reduce) the spammers problem for you. That said, custom IDPs are inherently at odds with this value in spam filtering. If a spammer just needs to set up a custom domain, you don't get any signal as to user quality.
Correct! When I moved out to a certain part of Europe and saw how life is much more than a hustle, it filled me with a renewed energy and perspective towards life.
It's not useful to judge prohibition in a single dimension of "work well" to "didn't work". Sure, cirrhosis rates went down significantly but organized crime (a disease of its own) was gifted a torrent of money to fuel other activities.
Users use the same passwords everywhere. By cross-referencing user passwords through excessive brute force you could find accounts on other sites that link to a user’s personal data.

Is the password personal data?

You have to draw the line of correlation difficultly somewhere.
> Convenience doesn't require centralization

Of course it does, because otherwise you are dealing with a patchwork of different entities operating parts of the federated system. Those entities are most likely operating with different standards and different levels of professionalism. In the end, you are offloading tasks to the end users like figuring out the structure of it all, where to sign up, which instances to join, how to get access to the content you are looking for, what to do when things inevitably break. In a centralised system, most of these questions don't exist, and everything else is being taken care of by the operator who has a vested interest in things running as smoothly as possible.

What you are describing are mostly UI problems, but even if those had been solved, it would still a worse experience. The average user doesn't even know what "federated" means, the don't want to be thinking about local and remote instances, they just want things to work.

A virtual duck that wanders around, occasionally quacking. The quacking is appropriately muffled if the duck is 'behind' a real object.
I think OP’s point here is that you, in general, have more flexibility as a free agent. The trade-off is that the nature of your work changes to include lead gen and salesmanship to initially get those jobs, and active relationship management, billing systems, and consistent output to maintain the jobs. It’s a hustle you must partake in and not everyone is game for that.
The point is hugely relevant.

It's like saying that cars, motorbikes and bicycles were irrelevant, because trains already existed.

A lot of terminal driven software design pivoted around lots of modes. Input mode, edit mode, command mode, extended command mode, etc etc etc. It's powerful but it's very hard to learn and everything becomes very context sensitive. What any key or instruction does depends heavily on what you did before.

That means you have to remember. That means you have to think much more.

The design of second generation GUIs (the Apple Lisa etc.) strove hard to eliminate this totally. The user can do anything at any point without modes of interaction.

The pivotal event that is often missed, and much of the Unix industry even today does not get, is that in the years after the Lisa and the Mac (and, don't forget, their affordable cousins such as the ST, Amiga etc.) appeared, that this stuff then filtered down to DOS and revolutionised DOS apps too.

And those (DOS and DOS apps) were the commercial mainstream, and that ecosystem is what evolved into Windows and all modern computers. Yes including the ones running Linux, and including Linux at the GUI level.

The Mac now is a descendant of NeXT, and is a Unix, remember. It's unrelated to Classic MacOS.

But the UI design of the GUI layer comes directly from Apple R&D. The UI at the shell layer comes from a decade or 2 earlier and is totally different.

Unless you know this, the differences between Unix' and Windows' GUIs and shells makes little sense.

Windows modernised its shell layer.

Unix didn't.
I think a 4mm dyneema line would have been more than sufficient to pull this to the surface in an emergency, and would have been relatively cheap and light. It could safely 1-2 tons of force, which would rapidly lift a neutrally buoyant sub of any size…

This would cost about $3/meter.

>created by humans, carefully tokenised, or images, on the one hand; and, on the other hand, the evolutionary forces that operate in the real world, where there are no boundaries between the different sensory stimuli that animal nervous systems must learn to distinguish and manipulate.

You're making a very likely irrelevant distinction for the sake of undermining the parent's argument. If the point is wrong, argue that its wrong. But its certainly not wrong by definition, not in any substantive sense at least.

Yes, curation may be important such that it undermines the analogy between pre-training of a NN and an organism's evolutionary history. But you haven't argued the point.

> when they realize that the "emergency situation" they are in never really ends.

At least in my experience I've noticed some things.

1. Management is incentivized to create the illusion of crisis to squeeze marginal extra labor out of you. They will be promoted away before burnout burns them.

2. Many of the crises are self inflicted by our response to previous crises. The only way to avoid the nausea of the merry go round is to get off it entirely.

3. You will futiley destroy yourself if you try to rail against the times you live in. You have to let the system fail for it to rectify. Martyring yourself will only extend the suffering as the system has no sentience nor conscience about what it's doing to people who care about reality.

I agree, especially the criticisms like “we don’t know if it will do very good eye-tracking” when this thing is loaded with cameras and custom silicon specifically for things like eye-tracking, and from all descriptions they engineered the crap out of problems like that.

TL;DR: no³

Slightly longer summary: if consent is granted, then you can use ReCAPTCHA³, but a bot programmer would just choose to have the bot click no on the consent prompt. Denying access after nonconsent is allegedly² illegal because attaching negative consequences to the 'no' button makes the 'yes' button no longer be considered a freely given consent¹.

² because a judge can overturn what the data protection authority (DPA) claims. I am not aware of case law on this, but I am not a lawyer.

³ assuming this French DPA speaks for all of the EU, which is not an automatic truth, but almost always the case. There may be implementation differences but I am not aware of any significant ones. The only annoying part is that each country's DPA has to put their stamp on it to reaffirm it for that country, and humans tend to have a bit of RNG in what opinion they end up forming based on the same text.

The '00s were such a wonderful time, the explosion in open access information, mashups (how I miss mashups!), easy publishing and the reach you could get from your sofa. RSS is the epitome of that, it's such a shame we have ended up with these walled garden social publishing platforms that lock our content down.

This, adding the RSS icon to the address bar, was an inspired move to surface discoverability. Compare that with the fight to get Apple to surface the availability of PWAs!

The big thing that has changed since that time is the monetisation, these walled platforms have had to instigate revenue share with large creators. But still, the wish for a simpler more open web is in the background. There is evidence of a swing back that way (the fediverse, blue sky?), I just hope "big business" doesn't destroy it (the rumour of Facebook embracing the fediverse...).

RSS isn't dead, it's the backbone of podcasts, but it's such a shame our Twitter feed, our Facebook, or even our Twitch isn't available as RSS.

Back in '06, my "mashup" was a social feed aggregator, it gave you a single "homepage" with all your activity from Myspace, Facebook, Reddit, Digg, Flickr, and many other sites. A lot of that was built on RSS, and you could add any RSS fead to your page. Sadly it went nowhere, but I learnt a lot...
> I think this talks past concerns.

That is intentional, as I believe that these discussions attract rules lawyers who I feel are missing the point.

If the people running the project enforce rules in bad faith, a CoC like the Contributors Code of Conduct is not materially different from an informal list of bullet-point rules, or even an tacit "Don't be a jerk."
> Svelte 4 reduces the Svelte package size by nearly 75% (10.6 MB down to 2.8 MB), which means less waiting on npm install. This improvement will be especially noticeable for users who are loading our interactive learning experience on learn.svelte.dev for the first time, users of the Svelte REPL, and users with limited connectivity. The majority of the remaining package size is eslint support, which necessitates distributing a CJS build, and once the eslint rewrite is completed the Svelte package size can drop by over another 50%.

Wow, that’s a pretty big reduction.
