I suspect a more sophisticated chatbot will upsell the restaurant's offerings. "Would you like a bottle of champagne chilled and waiting for you? The Mushroom Bruschetta with Brie, Sage and Truffle Oil appetizer is the special of the day" that sort of thing.
I am not sure if you are aware of this. But Singapore has even housing policies designed to deter racial discrimination. I would be extremely surprised if race played any role here.
Yes that was kind of the point lol
> less "good" for humanity than Musk is doing now

Sorry, but... what is Musk doing for humanity now?

SpaceX makes a business out of space, which will use more and more energy, which is exactly the biggest problem of humanity right now (fossil fuel is not unlimited, and CO2 is killing the planet).

Tesla makes heavy vehicles that use a lot of energy, too. And somehow, some people think they are "green" because they are electric, but the truth is that driving such a heavy vehicle for (usually) one person is the opposite of green.

Now let's be honest, his contemporaries are not helping humanity either. But if we talk about humanity, we would be better off without SpaceX, without Tesla, without Facebook and without Amazon. Let's not forget that.

Gates, post-Microsoft, seems to be working hard to make good things, I have to say.

I dunno. In the case of plastic you might say you are capturing CO2 if it winds up in a landfill. In fact, making polyethylene pellets and landfilling them has been a proposed method of carbon storage.
We anticipate both groups of businesses. Considering we are building a product for ETL/data-movement which innately has multiple moving parts & fragile, we anticipate a good chunk of businesses preferring to offload the effort of managing to us!

Valid point, though my current language supports neither overloading, floats, nor non-modular integer overflow, and parentheses are permissible where not required (for extra-semantical cases where order does matter) :)
This interesting.

A while back I wrote a C++ library to load a bitsteam virtex ultrascale through jtag using FTDIs d2xx driver.

Intel is more closed in the JTAG opcodes for programming the device. I was able to read IDCODES out of the JTAG.

I find it inconvenient that pluggable eSIMS are so hard to get. In my opinion they combine the best of both worlds. You can download profiles without wating for SIM cards and you can put them in different phones.
>The dream it seems to tap into is "You don't need to deal with the arbitrary whims of 5 different groups of web designers, just talk to one thing and get a single response."

Except that's the business' perspective, because it means paying less people, rather than consumers, who generally wanna talk to and haggle with humans, which requires a business to pay more people.
You framed a correlation like a requirement. Human development involves a lot of things, many of which don't have a strong causal relationship with energy usage.

That chart has major outliers on the top right. Most countries toward the top are clustered close to the left. Yes, the top left is rounded off and everyone at the top uses more resources than everyone at the bottom, but the outliers are enough to skew an average and make the effect appear larger than it is.

My reading is that several energy intensive countries can significantly reduce their energy expenditure while maintaining a high level of human development.
WSL2 is a Linux VM (albeit with some advanced features such as dynamic memory allocations, GPU & file sharing, etc.) on Windows hypervisor, and Docker for Windows just uses their own WSL2 VM.

You seem to be referring to Section 3(a)(1), which requires websites to "prevent and mitigate" the following for people under 18:

... you could have picked a sim at the airport couldn't you?

I have to point out that my question still stands. The only ones speaking in favour of esims seem to be USers traveling abroad.
You're losing all the state since you're not being dropped in the closure where the error happened but in the end of the program.

To see the difference use some function counter() instead of 1 in the example.
Seems more the other way around: Closures require extra automatic (and possibly "unsanctioned" memory usage, gasp) and largely requires good garbage collection, what are you, rich? Currying requires even more closures, and sometimes closures of closures, do you think this house is made of money? Abstractions like functors and monads have large learning curves and smell too much like math and you need some sort of University degree to understand them, right? Money doesn't grow on trees here in the real world, pal!~

On a work trip to the US recently I lost my passport for a bit and spent some time frantically searching what would happen if I showed up at a land crossing back into Canada without it. TLDR they would have given me a hard time, put me through the ringer, but ultimately would have to let me back in assuming all my other ID, references, etc. check out. I'm sure it would be highly unpleasant.

Airlines of course would imply have returned to board me without it.

Luckily I recovered it (bless you, friendly helpful people at the Sioux Falls airport) before my return flight.

(Replacing it would have had me stuck there for many days and requiring me to travel to Minneapolis or Chicago and beg for mercy at the consulate.)
exactly this. lots of activity on FB is bots.
This article mostly doesn't apply to the US market. Let me explain. There's two kinds of lock-in possible with eSIM devices. The first is the standard carrier subsidy lock that AT&T and T-Mobile do with phones sold through them. Verizon doesn't do this due to the old agreement to buy Band 13 spectrum. This is what most people understand, and while it's pretty easy to just ask to have the phone unlocked by the carrier, most won't do this.

The other kind of lock-in AT&T and Verizon do, but T-Mobile does not. This is relating specifically to ESIM (euicc) and it being paired to 'approved' IMEI numbers. AT&T runs IMEI whitelists that only allow devices they sell to be used on the network and these lists also contain what technologies it's allowed to access. Verizon has an approved device list, but I believe their physical SIM cards will work in any phone with band support and voLTE profiles available, much better situation since they've gone CDMAless. What they will not allow for eSIM is activation using just the EID number of the ESIM itself. They maintain a database of devices with eSIM and what the matching IMEI is supposed to be. If you have a device not in that list, it won't activate. The standard explicitly mentions that collecting the IMEI is optional for activation: https://www.gsma.com/esim/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/SGP.22-... (page 115)

I have a device called an esim.me. They are kind of expensive but it will give you support for up to eSIM profiles on a removable card (like an 'normal' SIM card, but it's a smartcard that supports flipping through these profiles). In the US it's only currently possible to activate these using T-Mobile, and unless you use an eSIM iphone or a specific model of Samsung phone, you have to call support and give them the EID number to activate it. I can then physically swap this 'esim' between my devices, anything that supports USIM (basically 3G and later devices, even old featurephone from 2007 it works in).
Heavy electric cars and rockets are making the biggest problems of this century worse.

We don't need more rockets or space tourism. And instead of building heavy EVs, Tesla should help the US build public transports. That is, if they want to help humanity.

Rust’s macro system is the first I’ve seen with the same potential. But of course, an equal to Rails has yet to surface; and even if one does, being a compiled language still counteracts a lot of its ergonomics.
I assume that means that the offer is the company purchased for just under 2 million dollars. Maybe a bit more, maybe some seed investors take a small percentage. Let's assume each founder takes almost a million dollars. I would understanding feeling weird paying almost 2 million for something that I can get done with 6 man-months. That is a lot of money! Enough to retire humbly or seed their next start up. But it's also something they will only get (or only get most of) over a 4-year vesting period.

So it's a 250k/year boost. That's again a lot. But that difference might also be what they can make at Google instead of a startup salary-wise.

But think about who they are hiring. People who have proven they can find new places to add value.

I'm making up numbers. But the point is that if you think about selling the next four years of your life (and not just the time spent on the company already), it is certainly reasonable and might be a good outcome. But it also might be worth turning down.

But maybe my guesses are totally off. Maybe he meant "retire humbly but continue to live in SF" instead of "take your money and retire to a ranch somewhere"
So technically the question asked is only if "the first independent replication attempt" will confirm (current guess 10%) and I think thats about right I can imagine there is a lot of 'build Twitter in a weekend' going on and it will take a while before the dust settles and there is a solid replication to base a solid conclusion.
Very interesting. One of our colleagues/friends also proposed this one! :) Will take this as inputs, if we change it. Thanks!

> "If you have a chatbot, it is for Sir or Alexa to use, not people."

This raises a group of interesting questions:

- Should computers talk to each other in natural languages? In voice? Is that going to work, or just create inter-machine misunderstandings?

- Whose agent is it anyway? It would be useful to have a personal agent that works for you, not for someone who's trying to sell you something. We may see that as an expensive paid product, but the free ones work for the man, not for you.

- It's worth getting a basic understanding of the law of principal and agent. Who works for whom? What is the authority of an agent? Who takes on risk, the principal or the agent? Who pays when an agent exceeds their authority? The legal system had to get this figured out centuries ago, and the failure cases are well-explored.

What you are proposing only works if you have a device that only receives replies. That is not always the case.

Think of it this way: the postal carrier arrives at your house at whatever schedule the post office decides. You don't have control over that. The only way to get your mail is to continuously check your mailbox to see if anything new has arrived. It only takes 3 minutes to check your mailbox. For the sake of this analogy assume if the carrier arrives the next day and finds something in your mailbox they return it to the sender.

Conversely sending mail is different. If you haven't written a letter or packed a box there is by your choice nothing to do. That situation can persist for days, weeks, months, or even years if you have nothing to send outbound. When you have something to send it takes you over an hour to drive to the post office, wait in line, mail the package, and return... but there are no consequences if you don't go to the post office other than delaying your outbound mail.

Yes sending a package is expensive but it doesn't happen often and you can decide to wait until multiple packages have piled up to be sent making your trip more efficient.

Conversely you're paying 3 minutes to check your mailbox every day whether anyone sent you mail or not. If you don't pay the 3 minute price critical mail may be lost forever.

If you send a package once per month that cost 60 minutes but checking the mail an average of 27 days per month costs 81 minutes. Receiving mail cost you more time overall despite each receive attempt being 20x cheaper than each send attempt.
All of his companies are extensively covered, not just Twitter? There's a Tesla scandal with fraudulent range display and specs for example, as we speak.

As for Twitter. Y'know, sometimes I don't know how one could miss everything that has happened in the past 10 months and not made some conclusions, but it'd be very tiresome to write a book listing every event that explains why Twitter is for example massively cash negative despite firing 80% of its employees and not paying rent and bills.

Also the "rebrand" is objectively incompetent in almost all ways I can think of. There was no planning, neither in terms of design, nor in terms of technical logistics, nor legal about trademarks. X as a trademark itself is terrible as it's too generic, hard to search and lacks sufficient context by itself, so you understand what we're talking about.

But I've come to accept the bell curve. Some people catch on early. Most people catch on in the middle of it. And some people catch on very late. We're currently in the middle of it. You'll eventually catch on.
why are these new languages always built to solve problems in windows or unix or whatever

and the main problem in those os are that there are 21 languages and thats before you even start talking about build systems, config files, and query languages and serialization. how would adding a new language to fix memory leaks make anything better? i see much worse problems here like you still have to build an sql query out of a string. the whole rust having this was just to make c people more comfortable to using a post 90s language (i.e memory safe)
We've discussed a lot of these ideas! We have a primitive version of tracing dependents and visualizing flows we haven't released yet. Stay tuned.

For a while i thought this talk aged poorly

https://www.slideshare.net/paulahoule/chatbots-in-2017-ithac...

then the tech caught up with the hype. Or maybe the hype caught up with the hype.

Note one motivation for chatbots is to eliminate the problem where any update in a mobile app requires waiting for the app store whereas a thin chat client never needs to be updated but instead you can roll out new features entirely with back end changes.
Dude, you're now in the LK-99 Age. Learn to live with it.
Yeah I think part of the problem is that ChromeOS relies on the Android SDK for apps. I'd rather Android provide a native SDK for apps that really require fine tuned performance - something like video editing is a good example.

Depends on your use case. Queueing messages enables the competing consumer flow which implicitly allows load-leveling which is great if your traffic is spiky and you need a little time to auto-scale or other scenarios like that. If you’re just looking to blast out data to all consumers or just load-balancing is fine, approaches like yours are probably better.
the page "What are linear types?" seems to address "resources" and the management thereof. not my cup of tea (but then, neither are destructors and garbage collection), but it's an interesting idea.
> daily occurrence when you're operating at S3 scale

Yeah! With S3 averaging over 100M requests per second, 1 in a billion happens every ten seconds. And it's not just S3. For example, for Prime Day 2022, DynamoDB peaked at over 105M requests per second (just for the Amazon workload): https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/amazon-prime-day-2022-aws-f...

In the post, Andy also talks about Lightweight Formal Methods and the team's adoption of Rust. When even extremely low probability events are common, we need to invest in multiple layers of tooling and process around correctness.
Call centers themselves are implemented as a way to reduce the number of human operators to the minimum possible. Used to work on dashboard software that monitors them (almost 20 years ago), and it's a metric of organizational success when you get a caller off the line without letting them talk to a human. All the hoop jumping and maze-like options etc are explicitly for this purpose.

Even back then there was talk about when chatbots would be good enough to remove as many humans as possible from the process. And considering how low paid some contact center workers are, it's pretty sad.
Working in genomics, I've dealt with lots of petabyte data stores over the past decade. Having used AWS S3, GCP GCS, and a raft of storage systems for collocated hardware (Ceph, Gluster, and an HP system whose name I have blocked from my memory), I have no small amount of appreciation for the effort that goes into operating these sorts of systems.

And the benefits of sharing disk IOPs with untold numbers of other customers is hard to understate. I hadn't heard the term "heat" as it's used in the article but it's incredibly hard to mitigate on single system. For our co-located hardware clusters, we would have to customize the batch systems to treat IO as an allocatable resource the same as RAM or CPU in order to manage it correctly across large jobs. S3 and GCP are super expensive, but the performance can be worth it.

This sort of article is some of the best of HN, IMHO.
Most MFA implementations will balk as soon as they discover you're on VoIP.

Particularly true for those stupid chat windows that pop up on the lower left corner of many web sites to harass you.
I will say one more thing, I think the reason so many people suicide themselves is because of whats been done to them, and because humiliation is a valid weapon of war on the population, the criminal employees of the state can be considered the ultimate torturers, desensitised by their own insanity, that is needed to maintain some semblance of control on the population and what can best be described as intelligent slavery.
