Matrix does not "log all chats". There were some IRC channels which had been explicitly configured by their chanops in the past to be "world readable" in Matrix parlance (i.e. opting into being publicly viewable), which meant that they showed up on archive.matrix.org.

It seems this caused concern because archive.matrix.org didn't have UI to explain why a given channel was visible (i.e. "chanop Bob explicitly set this channel to be world-readable on the Matrix bridge on Jan 1 2017") - and so after we got complaints from ircops last weekend we immediately took the service down to double-check and add the UI to spell out what's going on (and give the IRC channels & networks in question a chance to mark themselves as non-world-readable if that's what they want).

As I said, we're trying to be good neighbours, but there's a lot of ill will flying around.

Have you tried using precomputed byte offsets rather than indices for all the integers? Those would definitely speed up the non-power-of-2-sized case, but I'd be curious if they might speed this up a little bit too, since they should remove some bit shifting instructions.
Like in Men in Black 2?
Idk tbh how Microsoft pulled off Windows and Office but they showed real incompetence with Skype. OK, they acquired Skype and what did they do with it?! Let it rot for years. No vison, no new features....they missed the opportunity with mobile instant messaging and then Viber and WhatsApp took over, then they missed the opportunity with gaming and then Discord happened.

Then they wanted to acquire Discord for $10bn?! For what? Why? I think their grand plan for gaming is falling apart. First Discord then Activision Blizzard acquisition which will probably get blocked in the US too after it got blocked in the UK.

Sorry for the rant but Skype used to be great then Microsoft ruined it. They didn't learn anything from MSN Messanger. Btw it took them God knows how many years to patch that annoying IP leak thing that was happening because of the Skype's P2P architecture.

In that very article the FSF says to comply with both the GPL and "regulatons" companies are free to employ a ROM.
Nowhere in that article does it say the regulations must change.

Why even bring this article up? The FSF seem pretty reasonable here. Not to mention I couldn't find any evidence on the web of the FDA requiring Tivoization for medical devices.
And I often find pleasure in reading tcl/perl communities. So far from the mainstream and trends, yet full of funny surprises.
> People can walk up to any car and cut the brakes or tamper with it in a way to cause an accident.

The lock on my front door only has to be strong enough to stop whoever wants to physically approach my house and attempt to pick it. The lock on my home network needs to be strong enough to stop anyone in the world from attempting to hack it.

> There's always going to be a way for malicious people to do harm.

This is an example of statement, that while technically true, is so useless it might as well not be. It would be like saying that humans have been killing each other since before nuclear weapons existed, so there is no reason to worry about multi megaton thermonuclear warheads. They are different levels of risk by orders of magnitude.

Its not. The idea is to have a stable income for religious institutions.

Its an issue for mosques in Germany, as currently the funds have to come from one generous donor or foreign countries, who may ultimately have their own goals, keeping the mosque from being independent.

The article's timeline ends in '96, two years before the release of Starcraft.

I think it's more about the origin of the genre rather than it's greatest exponents. I believe an honest retrospective on RTS should also include Warcraft 3, RA2, AoE2 (!) and Cannon Fodder, among many other titles.

I share your sentiment about Stormgate, I hope I get to play it without having to upgrade my PC, at least.
FUD is also pretty lame. The FOSS code is up on the CentOS Stream repo. Knock yourself out!
Top 50 in a 1000HP car (The fastest accelerating production car, short the Rimac) on one of the fastest tracks in the world is not exactly hard. The ring is mostly a speed, accel, and nuts track. (That is, long wide-open sections, lots of slow turns then accelerate, and lots of hairy off-angles and sketchy blind turns.)

Also, the Model S may be top 50...but the 50 ahead of it is basically every supercar made in the last 20 years and all of them have less HP to go faster.
In case you're an iPhone user, I can also recommend NetNewsWire. It's a great application to read your feeds on the go.

That exact same person recently released a video saying he needed to apologize to Tesla. (His words not mine). https://youtu.be/ot8zw9UKdgY

The gist is that he originally thought his concerns about the plaid couldn't be addressed easily, but it turns out that they were all addressed through Tesla's (off-the-shelf) track package. Part of what surprised him is that his suspension concerns were alleviated solely through a software update.

I think systems that fix racial inequality and lack of opportunity are generally good but agree that where they verge into potentially discriminatory themselves we need to be very careful with them and design them in a manner that prevents them from deviating from their purpose and allows us to remove them when that purpose is accomplished.

Affirmative action, as it was, deviated from the original purpose into discrimination against Asian students.

There are a few other ways in which it failed, but a lot of it was because it was a general principle rather than a narrowly tailored, well structured initiative.

I'd like to see that kind of carefully built system proposed to fix issues more, but with the political system we have I do not believe it will happen publicly.

For all the people saying that this is dead on arrival or will never gain traction because it's too expensive, too bulky, too whatever: this is going succeed. The first watch serious sucked, but now it has all kinds of sensors and an always on display. A lot of those unique components (like the stereoscopic display) will get mass produced, which will bring down cost. Refinement will improve abilities.

This particular headset? It is too expensive, too bulky, etc. But, I can tell you that in time any serious developer will have this. The only thing that will make me give up my ultra-wide monitor is this: an ultra-wide screen monitor that I can take anywhere.

Surprising places I've heard of ChatGPT recently:

My sister in law (an orthodontist) had chatGPT draft a job ad when hiring an assistant.

My wife just graduated with a non-tech master's degree. On her graduation, the head of the program made humorous references to chatGPT and cited it ln a few topics in her speech.

To be honest it's a no brainier. It's helpful tech with a low barrier to entry, and free. People will use it.
Interesting. I'm waiting for HNers to tell my why this isn't awesome.

You shouldn't factor in incentives. That's not a change in the price of the car, that's splitting the cost between multiple buyers - one of whom is the taxpayer.
The advice of keeping the data you access frequently contiguous in memory applies to everything on modern hardware. If there is a program where performance is an issue at all, probably this will be one way to make sure performance is good.
I have no evangelism for the RTS genre, but I don't consider a MOBA the same as an RTS. MOBAs are only real time strategy in the sense that it's a game you can't pause where you need to think strategically, and coincidentally has a birds eye view just because it was a WC3 mod. I mean, Smite is a third person MOBA. Is that an RTS?

Doesn't mean they are less valid of games, it's just not what I think of. To me, controlling more than one unit is pretty central to what an RTS is. It scratches a certain commander/godlike itch that other games don't. And those things you list (harvesting resources, building units) aren't absolutely critical to the genre. Company of Heroes is considered an RTS by many

For the chat systems I've found acting like Columbo (from 1970's TV detective) works wonders: you want to be polite but persistent, open but not gullible. Don't fight it, but don't just let it drive.

For the non-chat interfaces, I imagine a whiteboarding session with a really competent intern at the board, rapid prototyping / wireframing that you can play with "live" and refine far further than you could IRL, but still ultimately prototyping.

If you _don't_ do it this way, you can easily fall into all sorts of time wasting anti-patterns; if you try to trick it, or allow yourself to be easily fooled by it, get stubborn & closed minded, pedantic and argumentative or whatever, well, there are lots of examples of how those sorts of interactions go in the training data too, and it will just as happily go down them as any other.

Hiring for a Machine Learning Manager to build ML-enabled software for formulators and scientists.

We are using a combination of Generative AI (jargony, but we started with VAE a few years ago and moving to LLMs now) and human-in-the-loop optimization to create sustainable formulations for CPG food, personal care and more. We've also extended our technology to solve wet-lab R&D problems at the bench and pilot scale for synbio and other tangential industries.

This is a great role if you like working with scientific data and possess creative problem solving skills to envision how a suite of ML models can form into a comprehensive product for our end users. We work with internal teams of analytical scientists and formulators to collect data (GCMS, HPLC, FTIR) and test AI-generated/screened formulations. Our flagship product, NotMilk, is formulated with pineapple & cabbage, which was suggested by our algorithm.

The team size is 7 ML Engineers with an overall Eng/Product/Design org of 40 (global). You will be inheriting a strongly built ML team (Stanford, Harvard, Berkeley, PUC Chile)

401k w/ match, Health/Dental/Vision, 24 days PTO.

Quick Summary:

* 7 year old food-tech company.

* $400M raised to date; last raise of $70M in Dec 2022 @ $1.5B valuation.

* Entered into a joint venture with Kraft-Heinz to develop their plant-based portfolio in 2022 using our technology and have already launched 2 products.

* Currently getting sued by the dairy industry in Chile, but we turned it into an ad-campaign and won a Cannes Lions.

> They are all multi millionaires.

Sure, but so am I — and I know for a fact they make very little, because of the way they talk about our mutual friends' job offers — I cannot even tell them my salary, to be honest. (Making less money is not a bad thing, but the pertinent point is that they work longer hours than I do, in the same industry!)

> Msft stock is up 10X in 10 years.

Here I'd like to correct you on one point — stock going up like this does not necessarily equate to outsized wealth. When you join as a new grad, you get very little stock, and as you get more grants, they are market-adjusted (not to mention vested over time). Plus the early stock inevitably gets sold to buy a home, etc.

Feel free to ignore me if you knew these things.
I'll give this a try, thank you.

You can repeat "C is a minimal abstraction over assembly" as many times as you want, it doesn't make it true.
They're more discoverable, because typing in `object.` tells the IDE that you are looking for methods on the type of `object`. If the IDE is aware of extension methods, it can also expose them the same as instance methods.

Java specific: If you're looking for a static utility method, then `UtilClass.` will also autocomplete. However, what if the function you're looking for isn't in `UtilClass`, but `SomeOtherClass`? What if you don't even know whether a method already exists for what you're trying to accomplish, and it could possibly exist in multiple libraries? Your discoverability engine quickly becomes Google.
