They went from losing ~$160K per vehicle in Q2 2022 to $32K in Q2 2023. So at this pace, they could break-even within the next 2 or 3 quarters.
The idea that they will eat larger costs, so that they can not get you what you want, and part of the reason you want it is because you will be more productive... is quite strange.

> Class is in no way related to salary.

It is in part. A person on a US$20 million a year salary obviously isn’t working class or even middle class-they might truthfully say they are of “working/middle class background” (if their parents were of more modest means)

Whereas, their 10 year old kid whose annual income and assets are roughly $0 is also upper class-because their parents are. Now, if they grow up and their parents end up disowning them and they end up living on the streets homeless-then they won’t be upper class any more. But if that doesn’t happen, then they are-because even if they aren’t filthy rich yet, very likely they’ll eventually inherit a huge amount of money from their parents (assuming they don’t already have some kind of “you’ll never have to work a day in your life” trust fund set up for them). They could live their whole life in the upper class without ever getting a salary at all
I just wish patents were a little more accessible. I read and write these for a living and I have my doubts about how useful these are, in general, to members of the public.

One great use case for LLMs is the translation of patents into short, easily-readable summaries.
I haven't considered that, but I could probably concentrate better if I were mindlessly sweeping a floor than if I keep seeing Slack DMs popping up.

There is no AI training here. Did you read the article?
For ages in *nixland the phrase "select is not broken" has been an aphorism for such situations. I'm not sure of its origin, but it's referenced in The Pragmatic Programmer:

> Tip #33, pg. 95:
>
> “select” Isn't Broken
>
> It is rare to find a bug in the OS or the compiler, or even a third-party
> product or library. The bug is most likely in the application.
So as long as that's all the engagement there is, we're free to ignore it and carry on, correct?
I mean, these seem pretty obvious, or even visible from the game itself in a way that publishing it as a patent results in no additional publication since it was apparent in the game already. For instance the loading screen bit simply seems to talk about how they show where you're going on the map during fast travel.

Seems like mainly a net loss.
Huh, didn't think there were that many new and innovative things even though the game was fantastic experience.

The two things I really liked about TOTK was the ascend ability and the rewind / recall ability. Those were pretty cool and seemed novel to me.

Admittedly, I don't play a ton of video games other than Zelda titles and the odd indie game so maybe those features are not novel and have been implemented before in other games.
Zulip UI polished.

For those not aware, Zulip has been polishing it's UI to make it feel fresher - yet keep the high info density it's known for.

EDIT:

What I'd love to see is Zulip:

- stop using 'globe' icons, and instead us '#' (the industry has settled on '#', so might as well embarrass it)

- update the color scheme/theme (or allow users to define their own color theme)
I generally appreciate TechDirt but this is a very weak argument, the logic is inverted. That some people who are opposed to LLMs were wrong to attack a tool that has nothing to do with LLMs does not allow us to conclude they are wrong about LLMs.
> If an attacker is capable of installing apps on your server... you've already lost.

You're right, but cloudflared is a whole lot easier to get running than previous RATs, and attackers don't need to operate their own c&c infrastructure - you can't defend yourself from such attacks by blanket banning Chinese, Russian, Iranian and North Korean IP addresses (which I honestly advise everyone to do if they don't have business in that country), and you can't easily block outbound to Cloudflare either as half the Internet is hiding behind them.

Basically, cloudflared lowers the price and effort for attackers dramatically, while the effort to defend against this threat model has now risen significantly.

If Cloudflare were to actually be willing to do something against being used by scammers, they'd put the ingress IPs for the C&C infrastructure on dedicated IP ranges and publish these in a machine-readable format so every reasonable person that does not use Cloudflare tunnels can ban them.

(Side note: "zero trust" needs to die)
A set of valid points especially

As self-hosters we are not going to change the face of the world. The other 98% of the general public is going to use hegemonic services: self-hosting is a privilege for those who have the education, time and money to put into it. We’re only deploying solutions that work for us, individually.
> Even if you were to overcome the massive hurdle of porting a driver between two completely different kernel architectures

Hmm, would that be a massive hurdle? I haven't looked at that driver code, but I have done a lot of driver development for both Windows and Linux, and have ported a number of drivers between the two. Sight unseen, it's not obvious to me that this would be a huge hurdle.

The code signing is an issue, but that's a manageable one.
If you haven’t looked, older game consoles (Genesis, Game Boy, etc.) can provide a very good introduction to how systems are built - how devices are mapped to memory addresses, how CPUs initialize and get different entry points for the program, interrupt handlers, etc.

Launch HN: Refine (YC S23) – Open-source platform for enterprise web apps
Hi HN! We’re the co-founders of Refine (https://github.com/refinedev/refine), an open-source platform for developing enterprise web applications rapidly. In one year since launch we have 15K active developers each month, and over 5K projects in production. Among the 5,000+ projects deployed to production, we see a lot of admin panels, dashboards, B2B portals and SAAS interfaces.

Check out our online generator at (https://refine.dev/#playground) to create a custom Refine application and download it.

Before starting refine, we spent five years as a consultancy company building internal-facing applications for enterprise clients. We have seen many complex use cases where the demanded flexibility was much higher than what existing low-code/no-code solutions provide. Moving away from rigid architectures and pre-made components that are difficult to customize, developers tend to start from the scratch. This results in a significant waste of time and resources.

In order to find a sweet spot between “starting from scratch” and higher level solutions, we started working on refine. After a couple of iterations, we came up with a “headless” solution, separating the UI-layer completely from the rest of the frontend logic. This allowed us to support multiple UI frameworks and custom designs out of the box.

We understand the importance of frontend developers working with the stack and tools they love and are familiar with. So, we have built our project creation wizard that allows developers to mix and match their technology stack when creating a project.

After 1.5 years of development with the great support of the open-source community, Refine has become a mature framework that allows developers to rapidly build enterprise applications and have 100% control over their projects.

While remaining unobtrusive, Refine still saves a lot of development resources by eliminating repetitive tasks such as CRUD operations, state management, routing, authentication, access control, and i18n. It’s also backend-agnostic and works with any APIs or services.

The best way to start Refine development is visiting our extensive documentation at (https://refine.dev/docs/). Here, you can also find tutorials and real-life examples to use as a starting point for your use case.

We had one successful Show HN earlier this year (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34515128), and have since had several major releases and added many more features.

Recently, we've released our enterprise edition featuring deployments, built-in security, backend integrations and auto-generated UI's. By expanding Refine's capabilities beyond the frontend, the enterprise edition offers a complete solution for the internal tooling requirements of larger organizations. To get more information, please see our pricing page: https://refine.dev/pricing/.

If you have any questions, ideas or suggestions please share them with us. The team will be here all day to answer. We look forward to all of your comments!

It's not clear whether you're referring to the HN post title or the article title itself ("Putting the You in CPU"). In either case I think your proposed edit makes it much worse.

The HN post title is accurate and describes what they did. It makes a choice to center the writer rather than the guide, which has certain consequences about how readers will approach it, but is perfectly appropriate. Of course, your proposed edit makes the same choice, and is arguably more of a brag than the original.

The article title is cute, which is not what you would want for a dry technical manual but appropriate in this case, where the style is supposed to be fun and entertaining as well as informative.
Because if the market had been providing them what they did want (clean meat of any kind) that act wouldn’t exist. Prior to that act the American people thought they were getting a clean product, a few journalists and a government investigation later it was concluded broadly that the meat packing industry was failing.

The Jungle by Upton Sinclair ended up being a major catalyst, there were a lot of claims by the meat industry that the book’s account was overblown, but as evidence piled up regulation was demanded.

Markets only work when everyone is forced to be on a level playing field. Sometimes you need regulation to provide some minimum proof of this, sometimes market players themselves find it desirable even, otherwise new market entrants can make a much much lower cost product that relies on market ignorance of what people are buying (so what if all the meat is packed by people on their death bed and sick… my margins are better).
It's interesting you say Audacity, because to me that program is an example of what you're talking about, it's low information density that came about from the days where most music apps were a screen full of knobs and skeuomorphic buttons.

That's why I view these things as a constantly swinging pendulum. At some point an app gets so bloated that it should probably be reduced. At other points an app is too simple that it's limiting. It keeps swinging back and forth with people hopping to different products when it swings too far one way.
I'm not convinced we skipped 8-bit consoles!

The issue with NightOwl was not that the TOS was updated.

The issue with NightOwl is that allowing automatic updating of an app is equivalent to allowing the app developer remote code execution of any arbitrary program on your machine.

Notification won't solve that problem. Disabling automatic updates does.
Because copyright in fact is not that strict (Google Books does far more) and you don’t need to respect someone’s boundaries when they don’t have a legal right to those boundaries. Why should we sympathize with people who want far stricter control over the cultural commons?
> I have found that there has been a rash of companies / recruiters reaching out to relatively senior people making offers that wouldn't have been acceptable a decade ago, much less in 2023

I think this has an angle of the artificially created "crisis/layoffs" headlines, which never clarify that there is a huge lack of senior people in the market, much bigger than any layoff could produce. In this way, they managed to trick a few people into lower paid jobs.

> I have no concerns about my ability to do whatever is necessary within the job, my only question is are you willing to pay me what I'm worth?

That is a great line to start with. I'm not looking into a new job right now, but certainly am being upfront to any recruiter that reaches out, and asking the salary and full details of the company (e.g. in case they are not upfront with the company name, which is a massive red flag to me).

I got a couple of interviews to be a traveling support and I was super excited. I was upfront about having little experience and I passed the first interview, and the interviewer said they were looking for inexperienced juniors. Second interviewer asked me all kinds of technical questions I had no idea how to answer and was confused why I was so inexperienced. Never heard from them again. Really unpleasant.
I salute your intention to find the silver lining but my experience reading patents is that they are hard to read. I believe this is because their job is not to convey information but rather to fulfill a legal requirement. I also believe that less restriction of these "inventions" would lead to a greater proliferation of truly useful explanations. No doubt there are exceptions but this has been my experience.
So you want money from people who read books and writes reviews? I don't think that's reasonable.
What’s a Human-Powered Computer? (2020)
I am reminded of my freshman year of college, which was the first time I had my own voicemail box.

I wrote a little script for me to follow, and recorded a track of me speaking on my computer. Then, I recorded my voice message with me essentially arguing with myself as the voicemail, as to who was the real me.

It was quite funny - I would usually get 2 voicemails after that: one of a person laughing and hanging up, and one of the person calling back to leave their actual message.
Maybe this is a bit of a hardline stance, but at this point I'd argue that not running extensions like Ublock origin and umatrix is implicit consent to have all that data collected. Not a strongly-held opinion, but boy does it seem like a properly-informed person would use protection to interact online with how diseased the internet has become.

Mind, neither of those are perfect, but they're Pretty Damn Good and everyone should be running something similar at this point.
"Winning" and "Losing" are not a great framework for this sort of analysis. In that binary framework, there's no difference between "1 bit of sensitive data was leaked" and "the medical and financial records of every person ever, nuclear launch codes, and the backdoor that causes every nuclear reactor to go critical simultaneously were leaked" - both are just "losing".

This is why various compartmentalization techniques exist throughout the stack - principle of least privilege, network segmentation, acls, and so on. If something is compromised, limit the "blast radius" of what can be done with that compromise.

The other part is containment. By analogy alarm systems and guards. If the alarm system goes off and says an intruder is in the building, well by the "winning and losing" framework, the defender has already lost. (Of course by the binary framework, you don't even need an internal alarm system - once the breach occured you've lost so why bother?). Or you could try to contain the problem and send guards to stop the intruder before they do too much damage.

This is where the cloudflared usage described in the article is problematic. It's a tool that is less likely to trip alarm systems, and further can provide a wide range of access while doing so[1]. If it doesn't trip alarms, a small breach leaking a little data can turn into a big breach leaking lots of data. It absolutely should be considered when designing networks, security methods, etc.

I don't know what the solution here is, that probably depends on the individual/org doing the threat assessment, and probably varies by environment within that domain. Should the tool be blanket banned? Probably not it's also a really useful tool for a lot of people in a a lot of situations. Maybe cloudflare can split the tool in to individual binaries for functionality and have the tool called cloudflared just be a wrapper. Maybe they can change it some other way.

[1] this tool is used for a lot of stuff and may already be on the systems in question, so it's not even installing a program -- just execing it. Since it is used for a lot of different things, it may just be on a blanket "allow this app" list. And so on.
We can tell this isn't Reddit because you don't have a top reply to your post stating, "this is what happens when we let the neurotypical into the tech industry."
I'm impressed by how AI can help reduce the climate impact caused by airplanes.
However, I wish there were more cases like this. I see this as just one small piece of fixing the economy, because there's no incentive for companies to work on solutions like this. It's important that our economic system aligns with our need for technological solutions to issues like climate change, healthcare, poverty, and more.

The current incentives within our economic structure don't always prioritize long-term, sustainable solutions. I've thought about doing a PhD to research economic alignment, but it's not financially practical for me at the time (thanks to student loans)

Anyway, I wish we had more people researching economic alignment.

I had a chessboard in my office at one time. It was basically a decoration, I think it was a secret santa gift or something, and it was never used until another guy and I started playing once every other week or so, at lunch.

One day, over lunch, we were playing a game (and eating at the same table), and something $PRODUCTION crashed. Someone came into ask about the problem, we stopped what we were doing, and fixed it.

Sometime after that, something else crashed, and then it became, "All they are doing in there is playing chess, no wonder x isn't working!".

I took the chessboard home.

But it does not. It reduces it to 1 request per second, at least, per core, per machine that the attacker control. A single attacker can still send millions of requests per hour at very low cost, limited only by compute resources, which is what CAPTCHA is supposed to work around (by challenging the human not the machine).

Right. Yeah I did not express myself clearly, sorry :). You were saying "how is it different other than X and Y?", and I wanted to say that X and Y are already enough for me to consider them different.

I am actually on the side that LLMs are a big problem for copyright, and I don't want my code and blog posts to be used in their training dataset without my consent. To me, at this scale, it's not fair use. IMO it's a bit like if Facebook said that it is fair use to leverage metadata about their users, because "someone who sees you in a public space talking to a friend knows that you are talking with that person, and it is the same for Facebook on social media". My problem is not that Facebook knows that I sent a message to a friend now, but rather that they know who writes to whom and when, at scale.

Similarly my problem is not that somebody could read my blog post, learn from it, and write another blog post. My problem is that LLMs automatically train on all written material they want on the Internet, at scale, and without acknowledging that all that material has a lot of value (and is copyrighted).

I think fair use should somehow consider the scale.
I would love to build my next web project so it will not save any data on the server but let the user save it locally via the File System Access API.

That would give the user the same experience as with a desktop application. Full control over their data, saved locally.

The problem is that, according my tests, Firefox does not support it at all. Chrome does not support it on Android and Safari does not support it on iOS. Not sure about Safari on the desktop.

Here is a text editor demo which let's you try if it works with your browser:

https://googlechromelabs.github.io/text-editor/

If your browser supports it, it will let you load and save files just like a desktop application. If it does not support it, it will use a download/upload workaround.
