> Until recently, historians doubted that a debt jubilee would have been possible in practice, or that such proclamations could have been enforced. But Assyriologists have found that from the beginning of recorded history in the Near East, it was normal for new rulers to proclaim a debt amnesty upon taking the throne. Instead of blowing a trumpet, the ruler “raised the sacred torch” to signal the amnesty.

The Romans ended the tradition which was ultimately their unmaking.

"Debt" was creatively replaced with "sin". The Italians still pray nostri debiti.

Jesus wanted the debt forgiven. He died for your debt, pretty much.

I'm still saddened that during the FH/MX beta-testing and thereafter it wasn't possible for Macromedia to re-work Freehand as a native Cocoa app for Mac OS X.
Is he littering on the public roadway where those fines apply? Because if he is, you probably don’t have any defensible private interest at all.

If he isn’t, the sign is irrelevant.
Do the engineers at Google even know how the Google algorithm actually works? Better than SEO experts who spend there time meticulously tracking the way that the algorithm behaves under different circumstances?

My bet is that they don't. My bet is that there is so much old code, weird data edge cases and opaque machine-learning models driving the search results, Google's engineers have lost the ability to predict what the search results would be or should be in the majority of cases.

SEO experts might not have insider knowledge, but they observe in detail how the algorithm behaves, in a wide variety of circumstances, over extended periods of time. And if they say that deleting old content improves search ranking, I'm inclined to believe them over Google.

Maybe the people at Google can tell us what they want their system to do. But does it do what they want it to do anymore? My sense is that they've lost control.

I invite someone from Google to put me in my place and tell me how wrong I am about this.
Quark actually had at least one bundling w/ Freehand, and some folks used Macromedia XRes instead of Photoshop.
If the best you can do is 'password cracking' as your answer, you're obviously not very well versed in things. Plus, you don't need ROCm to crack passwords.
Among other things, I would say the unknown collation of personal history, interests and spending activity that is often auctioned off to the highest bidder.[1][2] In an even more automated society than today, social scoring becomes the norm, and with it access to services.

With prolific cases as Robodebt and the Toeslagen Affaire, we can only hope these automated scoring systems remain isolated from governmental overreach.[3][4]

"Now there are hundreds (thousands?) of large enterprises that slurp up ambitious individuals and put them in charge of important things."

I'm not sure I agree with that...

They slurp up ambitious people, put them in charge of something, work hard to convince them it's important, layer endless amounts of bureaucracy on top and around them, and pay them just enough to make sure they don't leave - I think this may be more accurate...
Indeed. A net income of $394M in the quarter doesn't even pay 3 month's worth of imputed interest charge on $30B of aggregate losses.
"poor writing" is the new "merely joking guys!"
Have you ever met someone with actual bipolar disorder? They think that they are Gods and see symbols and signs and shit. Or sometime they go negative and thing there's a conspiracy targeting them or something.

They don't usually think they are gonna slowly over the next 5 years tape out a chip and build a solar powered datacenter with the company they raised $5M for...all part of the tiny corp master plan. I'll write it up better as it comes together better.

If you’re sincere, you’re being myopic.

The USA is a great place, but there are so many cool things to see and experiences to have that you simply can’t without leaving the country.

And, professionally, there’s always new things to learn. Not every good idea in the world originates in Silicon Valley.
The minified HTML (and, god forbid, JavaShit) is the source from which the browser ultimately renders a page, so yes that is source code.
Hopefully correct, but I read a post saying the big banyan tree didn't burn. Also hopefully when they rebuild it, Lahaina stays accessible to locals and doesn't end up as a big resort or condo blocks.
Why would employee or contractor status be relevant here? Seattle doesn’t classify these workers as employees any more than California does. This is a legislative labor protection that does not depend on employee status.
Also, note, Ads and Search operate completely independent

That’s the mistake. They should be talking. Sites that engage in unethical SEO to game search rankings should be banned from Google’s ad platform. Why aren’t they? Because Google is profiting from the arrangement.
If an extension I used got sold out … would it ask me if the permissions are changing? Or would it straight up sneak them in. Id hope id at least see a popup notice that would raise a red flag
No one is arguing any of that. You're the one that brought up the 580 specifically.

By the way, still waiting for you to take me up on your 'bet'.
I cant recall a single instance where the woman in question delivered and then wasn't met with immediate derision and misogny. It was a pretty explicit anti woman statement
>Companies far too commonly assume guilty until proven innocent

Company assumed the rider was innocent until proven otherwise. Two way road here, being a middleman-as-a-service.
And miss making a personal impression of a country surrounded by so many myths?

Good advice for people scared of their own shadow, bad advice for everyone else.

Because honestly:

> The typical reasons for the Chinese government imposing an exit ban that prohibits a foreigner from leaving China is for allegedly committing a crime, allegedly owing money to a Chinese company, or being in some other sort of dispute with a Chinese company or individual.

This is something that I would expect visiting literally any country.

It is probably not something that people faring from the western world and traveling over that western world (so no visas, no suspicion, excellent consulate support) are used to, but this is kinda how the rest of the world lives, even when traveling to western countries.

It's kind of ironic how the article also ropes in Russia, given that Russians are regularly arrested by the US (sometimes not even necessarily on the US soil) - over a hundred people currently detained. When normalized by population (roughly 150 mil in Russia, and 300 mil in the US), this is pretty much similar to the number of American citizens detained in China (over 2 hundred people). So what, don't go to the US or countries that extradite there? I don't think so either.

EDIT: added some rough stats
True. Maybe the why is obvious to an Australian audience, but I’m not seeing why missing meetings and performance goals wasn’t enough to fire her.

Regardless, measuring keystrokes sounds as dumb as lines of code.
Kudos to these guys for figuring this out from the dump, not a trivial task! These kind of issues can take months to triage if one is unlucky. I remember our team going crazy trying to figure out the reason for random crashes until finally discovering a firmware bug in proprietary hardware.
> Imagine among god fearing people someone was to propose to make it illegal to feed the homeless. They would lynch em good and proper.

I wonder, what country are your picturing when you suggest this? Or, what God?

My experience with "God fearing people" does not lead to the same conclusion you drew. But I can agree they would kill someone for simply suggesting something.
Well, I didn't call it an informed parody - my one brief brush with academia having sent me fleeing back to industry, very much for keeps. Granted it's not always a bed of roses, but it is much more rewarding, not to mention much less often so petty and so vile.
Am I missing the sarcasm? If your brother in law is relying on Uber, then employment protections would mean he doesn't lose his sole income unfairly and without notice.

Uber argue that most gig workers are just doing it as a spur of the moment side hustle, and therefore the flexibility is necessary. But your anecdote is the opposite.
> According to some of the new data, the resistivity of LK-99 increases as you lower the temperature, like some sort of anti-superconductor.

The writer based this on a sarcastic tweet, taking it at face value. It seems to imply that resistance increasing with temperature is somehow startling; actually, it's how semiconductors behave (as the original tweeter knows very well).
Is any of it a substantial stake in an operating generative-AI company? If so, I'll buy it for $100; I literally don't intend to do more diligence than that to find a likely overlay.
First they provide a welcome, but unnecessary, service.

Then you come to rely on the service.

Then they start giving you orders.
> The problem they talk about here is getting cut off from the matchmaking service,

Some people call that “getting fired.”
Don't you think that an intellectually gifted philosopher is able to start with a null hypothesis, and avoid begging the question?

Perhaps you don't understand what faith is, or its relation to reason, or how "science" was understood by scientists of the 13th century.

Faith is empty and useless without reason. Likewise, reason is useless and empty without faith. They are intertwined and interdependent. See what Pope St. John Paul the Great wrote in Fides et ratio about wings.

There have been some amazing applications of formal logic and other scientific methods in service to the Christian faith. It seems like rubbish to someone who rejects their purpose or foundation, but nevertheless, priest-scientists laid all the foundations for modern engineering, discovery, genetics, astronomy: you name it, and that tradition of inquiry is still honored today, mostly by Catholic laypersons.
Reporters straight up don't have time to edit that much unfortunately. It's a grueling, underpaid and under appreciated job. Most aren't senior reporters at The NY Times (and even then... it's not as good pay as you'd expect).
Think SpringBoot might just change that. Folks are scrambling to move to 3.x, with 2.7.x hitting public EOL this November. With SpringBoot 3 requiring Java 17 at a minimum and Java 21 coming out this fall, I suspect our shop will see many people just move to the latest LTS when it is available.
> Yes because Uber didn’t have to actually compete with taxis.

Taxis in many cities were/are horrible, Uber is a godsend in cities like Manila where the option is to (a) get ripped off (for sure) by a taxi or (b) use the Uber app and don't get ripped off. It is honestly an improvement. Likewise for didi dache in many Chinese cities where getting ripped off is common.
Then Slack doesn't have an "open" API as I described, at least not one that's a first-class citizen alongside their Electron app (or the app-dot-slack-dot-com equivalent). I can either use my own client, or I can't, for the purposes of addressing my "I'm tired of dealing with whatever UX Slack's designers mandate I have" complaint.

I used to use wee-slack, then I worked places that wouldn't allow its installation, and then suddenly I kinda wished work cultures would just move back to emails, mailing lists, and some light ephemeral thing for IM (quite possibly IRC). Because at least then, user experience doesn't have to be dictated by someone who has absolutely no idea how you want to or like to work.
The benefit they get from those articles is probably near zero but the maintenance cost is tangible.
How does this affect bands playing gigs at bars? Comedians? Etc?
Why is it just accepted that Huawei executives can be detained by the west, though? I don't think taking vengeance on random civilians is justified, but it was a response to us doing the same thing to one of theirs. It's only bad when they do it?
After my father got his PhD and returned to his hometown, he drove taxi for awhile.

I don't know if it made him better.
Here in tech bro world we have so many innovations for you! Why not try our:

- Expensive unregulated taxi!

- Expensive unregulated hotel!

- Picture of monkey (formerly valuable)!

- Imaginary restaurant that serves bad food!

- Imaginary scam money (in 17,382 flavors)!

- Expensive unregulated television!

- Another picture of monkey (never valuable)!

- Twitter but it sucks now!

- The news but it also sucks and steals your personal information!

Plus, try our greatest achievement yet:

- Expensive unregulated scam concert tickets!
> Except in Canada where huawei's executive got the same treatment

This is an extremely bad faith claim. Unless you're claiming the two Michaels detained by China (in retaliation) also got to live a lavish lifestyle in a mansion.
I covered this:

> I talked to GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 a decent amount while writing this article. While they lied to me a lot and most of the information was useless, they were sometimes very helpful for working through problems. LLM assistance can be net positive if you’re aware of their limitations and are extremely skeptical of everything they say. That said, they’re terrible at writing. Don’t let them write for you.

https://cpu.land/epilogue#acknowledgements

To elaborate, I had perhaps 4-6 "conversations" with various GPTs. They consisted of me asking some question or expressing confusion about something I was having trouble researching in case the LLM could either pick up on my confusion and be helpful, or give me a better source to look through than Google. The latter approach never worked, it always made up bullshit, but the former did once or twice — before the conversation deviated into lies, at least, the models helped me get my thoughts straight.

At their best they felt like talking through a problem with someone smarter than me. At their worst they were a waste of time and actively misleading. They were usually at their worst. I did not use language models as primary sources for anything; where they helped me clarify my thoughts, that simply helped me know what to research normally, and the only other time I used them was to find a file in the Linux kernel that contained some code I was looking for but didn't know verbatim.

Otherwise, the article is entirely originally researched and certainly originally written.
x86 lock-in benefits AMD greatly, just as it does Intel. It is my belief that they started looking at ARM cores when they thought they would never be able to be competitive with Intel in x86 (pre-Zen was a bad time for AMD). And when it became clear that actually their new cores would do very well against Intel, they dropped ARM plans. They don't want to move off x86 if they don't have to.

Intel Xscale were a different beast. They got that through StrongARM from DEC as part of some law suit wheeling and dealing. They never seemed to really want to push it, preferring instead to try competing in mobile with a string of failed x86 cores.
> You must not bet old enough to remember when people thought MySpace would always drive the internet.

You know there's a difference between "people thought" and dollars.

Some people think the earth is flat. Opinions can change very quickly - like 5 years ago, people thought elon musk was the hero of the internet.

Here's the stats on MySpace revenue: It generated $800 million in revenue during the 2008 fiscal year.
Yeah,

Once upon a time, Matt Cutts would come on HN give a fairly knowledgeable and authoritative explanation of how Google worked. But those days are gone and I'd say so are days of standing behind any articulated principle.
Surely people never overcomplicate simple things, right?

:)
> I don’t know if the NPI data mitigates this.

The NPI database is used by heallth care payers in validating billing transactions (and in some cases by regulators in validating information in other interactions.) There are very strong incentives for active providers to have information current and accurate.

OTOH, IIRC, NPI’s need to be actively deactivated, so there is probably a lot of “active” data for no-longer-working providers.
Maybe people had different experiences with taxi's but I've taken uber 30x more often than I've taken cabs, and still have had 10x as many bad experiences with taxi drivers. From not turning on the meter, to being rude to my wife, to purposefully taking roundabout routes in order to inflate cost, to being told a taxi would show up at 1am, only to have it show up at 8 am.
> This should use <pre> instead

I'd say that this is the perfect use case for a custom element
I am just grinning like hell going through all this.

Even though ArpChat would probably give network admins a heart attack, your mind is most certainly fucking rad, ma'am. =) I too am the kind of person that read books on OSI layers for funsies, lol. Keep playing with code! Reminds me a bit of justine tunney's work with things like https://justine.lol/ape.html where someone just goes way deep on a thing that few people seem to fully understand (in her case it would be "compiler binary format minutiae" among other things) and then asks a crazy question like "what if it were possible to mesh all the binary formats together into a meta-format that actually runs on all of them?" and then conjures up this crazy thing that actually works.
Thanks! I'll be reading it and the other links in this thread while I wait for my copy in the mail.
And...it's a good plan.

There's two cooling problems, pulling heat off the wafer (water cooled loop or immersion cooling, this is easy) and dumping the heat somewhere. The second part is why the place being cool matters, I imagine a big radiator on the roof. Could also dump the heat into a river if it's chill.
WA is culturally progressive, and economically regressive. It's perfect for wealthy people who have gay friends and like to smoke pot. Not so great for the working poor.
I’m really curious to see how situations like this with Open Source play out long term. Maintainers of popular libraries are asking for a little support from businesses that profit selling products and services built on top of a OSS library. In larger organizations, it’s difficult for individual contributors to influence a firm to donate time or resources to an OSS project. In my role it’s even difficult to incorporate a paid project or service into a project without layers of approval.

I have to imagine that many developers have little influence with these decisions. Many of these libraries were likely selected because they had a favorable OSS license and were “free”, meaning less organizational hurdles.
That's what I was hoping for as well -- Twitter for Japan (with the Twitter brand) run by someone other than Elon Musk, and Elon Musk can keep his X.
Would like to recommend an open source Low Code framework https://frappeframework.com, significantly reduces the code to be written.

The article is obviously a joke, but the question is not without merit. Does he have a mechanism in place to pass the reins onto someone else if he were to be abducted by aliens, enlisted into a secret army, or even... hit by a bus?

He's clearly the top point of a massive tree-like hierarchy, so it is an important question.
In the particular case of headlines, where this arises more often thanks to their need for brevity at the cost of clarity, linguists sometimes call these "Crash blossoms" from the naming example "Violinist linked to JAL crash blossoms".
...or both could be presumed innocent until at least both sides of the story are heard. Uber is not obligated to take action immediately upon receiving a customer complaint.

> In my experience SEO experts are the most superstitious tech people I ever met.

And some are the most data-driven people you'll ever meet. As with most people who claim to be experts, the trick is to determine whether the person you're evaluating is a legitimate professional or a cargo-culting wanna-be.
The Cathars were regarded as local rabble-rousers, and in this era, heresies were considered tantamount to treason against the state and her established Church. Having failed at diplomacy and evangelism, Pope Innocent III preached a Crusade, and had the Albigensians definitively exterminated by overwhelming military force.

The victorious chief military commander, Simon de Montfort, was rewarded with fame and (increased) fortune, mostly because of this Crusade.
I don't even know what point is being made here, but it's ridiculous to claim that people in the 1930s or whatever crafted the perfect labor/employer social contract which would be applicable ad infinitum.
The constitution provides that:

> The Congress shall have Power...To establish Post Offices and post Roads

It does not obligate the congress to do so, and most certainly (and unsurprisingly) does not contain language that guarantees any sort of right to email service.
One of the few advantages of middleman is to provide both sides of transactions with some level or protection. The store down the street may resell the same products from AliExpress but provides more protection than the fly by night resellers on Amazon.

You clearly haven't taken Uber in recent years. The costs are astronomical--here's an anecdote of a reporter going to meet the CEO of Uber and having to pay a $52 fare for a 3 mile drive: https://nypost.com/2023/08/01/uber-ceo-dara-khosrowshahi-stu...
2 weeks later is actually very hard to apply IRL because you're right that such resources don't really exist.

Actually I do more like quarter in review or year in review. For example, I know Obama and Bill Gates do yearly reviews on big things that happened.

For events like Jan 6, I tend to stay away from the coverage and what for the official hearing where it's laid out structurally.

As long as the info comes before the next election, it's fast enough.
1. because it is in Australia where you need good reason to fire someone, and disgruntled people litigate.

2. I don’t like the privacy implications. However it sounds like her litigation was baseless so at least making her visible helps future employers avoid her and risk of litigation.
