DC legalized Idaho stops. Nothing feels at all different. Almost all bicyclists are so much better about clearing intersections than anything else moving that nothing else makes any sense. There's effectively zero cost, except making drivers green with envy/making them lose their cool.

I do signal. It's pretty rare for bicyclists, but it's also 50/50 at best for cars, and they near universally operate with much less safety margin/more risk than any bicyclist (ironically the extra scared/slow/cautious drivers are often those that I see create the worst scares, damning all by their lack of clear confidemt cool execution).

It feels like only recently (in the US at least) are some cities & states trying to figure out what rules make sense for bicyclists. It's easy to just say, you're like a car, follow all those rules, but it doesn't really make sense. Bicyclists just don't take up enough space & are so much more nimble, so much more free, and often usage of those capabilities can speed up cities where cars, bikes, and people move around.

You present a silly position.

Sure it is a private company but artificially stacking the deck against competition, either business or speech, violates the core promise of a free market democracy: that the best wins. Competition makes the best products for the lowest prices, free discourse allows the most sound ideas to rise to the top.

Secretly screwing with what should be a level playing-field is dishonest and demonstrates a weakness in your products and/or ideas.

Dishonesty has no place in business or public discourse. And in this case is anticompetitive which makes it illegal.

Now that it has come to light you’ll see him scrambling to undo it because it doesn’t stand up to public scrutiny.

Where does that "thin skinned toddler" thing come from? If the Washington Post article is any indication, Musk's likely motive isn't a personal offense. It's that the New York Times published what he called apologia for genocide. Is he a thin skinned toddler for trying to reduce readership in a publication that puts people's lives at risk?

And I don't assume everyone is on a side, but I'm going to assume you are. Why? Because the irrational partisans I've seen on the internet tend to impute the basest and most repugnant motives possible into the actions of those they hate I think we've all seen quite a lot of it, be it "They like firearms because they have small reproductive organs." or "They support immigration because they hate the local working class." All borne out from a childish desire to live in a world of shining heroes and cackling villains.

Now, maybe your toddler comment is borne out of a careful analysis of Musk's psychological state, and if that's so you have my apologies.

Not at all, especially because React doesn’t do much dependency tracking on its own and is built for predictable UI updates and not performance.

I think it was either here or Reddit that left a comment predicting that Stadia would eventually be canned - my boyfriend wanted to play a game that was only being released on the platform so I ended up getting it for his birthday when it came with a Chromecast.

Well - life got in the way so he never actually got to play the game much but Google did refund our Stadia/Chromecast purchase so we got a Chromecast out of it at least.

I remember reading a comment from a dev of one of the Stadia exclusives here who was very upset to learn that their work moot after it was announced here; can't imagine how deflating that must have felt for them.

Care to share your rig and your mastodon. I recently got back into 3d photography but only cuz I found a box of some older gopro's and 3d printed a rig to hold them. It works, but would like to know how you took this photo, (a Loreo 3d lens or a sliding camera holder ,or something else? )
It's a temporary crunch while TSMC expands capacity. They were reluctant to invest in capacity during the crypto crunch because they (rightly) understood that to be a temporary spike in demand. This time, they (also rightly) recognize AI as a longer-term shift in demand, and they're busy retooling to meet it.

The real question is whether NVIDIA will maintain its lock on the market, or if vendor-agnostic Torch will help commoditize the segment.
There are plenty of exported musical genres where the connection to the culture of origin was completely sundered. It only takes a few decades for that. Finnish tango has no connection to Argentina. Irish traditional music plays a lot of mazurkas (a traditional Polish form that came over) with no acknowledgement of or even awareness of Poland. Only natural the same would happen to hip-hop.

Also, because hip-hop requires as a minimum nothing more than a source of a beat and the ability to do intricate wordplay, and is arguably the most accessible of genres, it has found root in impoverished communities worldwide. People in those communities might not have the relatively privileged background that would allow them to explore the history of the genre and the original culture in the USA that it came out of.

Measuring words and loc is not a great way, imho, to share what you’re doing. In fact, I’d love a much shorter set of documentation now to under and this better. Long docs will probably make it less likely to read.
That's fine, but you can't keep them identical for long, because eventually you need to add/delete/update an account or a secret. So you're perpetually rotating that one in a secure location, and if your accounts have enough churn, it's a chore.
> Where does that "thin skinned toddler" thing come from?

Probably when he got so angry at a competitor for launching a rival app that he publicly challenged him to a fight, then backed out when the competitor agreed to do it, then said he was going to go over to his house and kick his ass when he got called out for backing out?

Or maybe it was taking a play from the Trump playbook with the dumb nicknames for people.

Or maybe it was the way he tried to treat Halli.

Or maybe it was the jet tracker thing.

Maybe it was pedo guy years ago.

At the end of the day, I’m not sure which “Elon moment” put him in that category for me. As someone who would have previously considered themselves a fan I’m not mad, just disappointed.

> And I don't assume everyone is on a side, but I'm going to assume you are. Why?

My side is “Twitter is a private company and can do what they like and I can criticize them for their behavior and motives on any platform that will have me.”
That is not what AGI means. AGI = Artificial General Intelligence.

1. Artificial = we made it

2. General = it can solve problems in any field

3. Intelligence = the ability to solve problems

A chess engine is a very strong Artificial Intelligence. But it’s not very General, it can only evaluate chess positions.

GPT-4 is very General, you can ask it about any question and get a somewhat reasonable answer. But it’s not very intelligent, often the answer is wrong.

You’re talking about an Artificial Human. That’s a different problem. Intelligence is not species dependent. Dolphins are intelligent (a bit), aliens can be intelligent and have zero emotions or conception of self. There’s certainly plenty of amoral intelligent serial killers.
Why?

We use quite a few registrars and GD is far from the worst, in my opinion.

Google just killed the Firebase stripe extension – zero warning
Why do they keep doing this?

I noticed users of my product (https://clonedub.com) were complaining that they couldn't upgrade plans. I also noticed there were no new subscriptions all day which was unusual.

So I log into firebase to figure out what's wrong.

Lo and behold it reads "Firebase no longer supports stripe extension. This has been moved to invertase".

The only mention of this is here:
https://github.com/invertase/stripe-firebase-extensions/issues/542

Checking this out further I realised it was a barely supported open source alternative that didnt even work.

What a joke?!!

I genuinely don't understand why they have such contempt for businesses on their platforms.

Why do they keep doing this?!!!
The lack of concept of "knowledge" is a big one for me - if that's an emergent thing it hasn't even shown hints of this yet. This to me seems a pretty hard line right now, as it limits their capability of things even inexperienced humans can do - namely decide if they actually know something, and identify when they don't know something and attempt to fix that - e.g. asking for clarification on vague inputs, or deciding if something is actually truth or fiction.

That then ties into another limitation right now - how after a training the model is pretty static, so cannot learn and has no state outside it's context buffer. This could just be another point where a few orders of magnitude more computing power can "fix" it, doing whole training steps between each input to actually incorporate new information and corrections into itself instead of relying on a fixed size small context.

But I'm not deep enough into things to say if they're fundamental issues, or current techniques will start displaying those effects as emergent characteristics as the complexity and training increases. There's been a few other examples when "known" techniques start to show unexpected characteristics down the line as they are scaled up, so can't really say for sure they'll /never/ be shown, just that the current examples don't seem to show even the beginnings of that sort of thing.
Clear and concise prose does not "trash literature" make. Vide Hemingway.

Code absolutely should be readable and as obvious as possible, but that itself can often be a sign of virtuosity; you've broken down the problem into such simple steps that reading it is easy.

To paraphrase Mark Twain, writing a short and clear program often takes much longer than a convoluted one. "Trash literature" is often full of unnecessarily adorned prose.
> Sure it is a private company but artificially stacking the deck against competition, either business or speech, violates the core promise of a free market democracy: that the best wins.

But Twitter isn’t a free market nor a democracy. It’s a private media company. Private media companies stack the deck every day, it is THEIR deck.

Don’t want a stacked deck? Don’t play their game.

The only place you are (supposed to be) guaranteed a free market and democracy is from the government and with public goods.

I’ve had this argument before here on HN. My end stance is that connections to the internet need to have connectivity guarantees for legal services (and they’re regulated and heavily publicly funded, so I think this is reasonable) so that people can create competitive services.

However cloud providers, private platforms, etc. don’t owe you anything beyond their own T&Cs, which they can obviously change.

Also, open invite to email me at the address in my profile. I have a virtual Sunday morning coffee group that loves to argue over stuff like this and you’re welcome to join and we can talk it out.
Worth noting that copilot has been in active use by many devs I know before ChatGPT and that doesn't appear to have eliminated jobs. Fundamentally your job is to understand - not just type characters into a terminal. I think you might be shocked how bad things would get for a person who lacks any understanding of what they're doing if they just concatenate ChatGPT output indefinitely.
They include them in the box; it's just no one ever sees them through all the packing material.
You beat me to it.

> The most popular programming language in computer science has no compiler, interpreter, or complete specification. It is remarkably concise. It grew over decades; today, dozens of variations are in use. Its complexity has reached the point where it needs to be re-explained every time it is used—but too often it is not; instead, each variant is more or less taken for granted. This has led to ambiguities and inconsistencies. Much effort has been spent in hand-translating, in both directions, between this language and other languages that do have compilers, primarily for the purpose of implementing yet other languages.

This is the kind of example where a small change for the “company” greatly increases “customer” happiness.

That the money was spent responsibly, for some definition of responsibly. Probably this doesn't mean the sort of abuses detailed in the article.

> If a student goes to university and gets a degree in medieval French literature and then serves coffee for life as a job, the university did its job iff the student demonstrated a level of mastery of medieval French literature.

I'm unconvinced that it would be good to disband humanities departments, or to ban non-STEM degree programs and/or degrees that don't involve training for a specific career path. Last I checked, even MIT has a humanities school (though it seems to be combined with art and social sciences.)

Our society seems to have enough react programmers and could probably use more medievalists, as well as other humanities grads - people who understand the human condition, have some sense and understanding of history, know how to exercise critical thinking skills, and can read and write well. These are skills that could serve someone well in a variety of jobs.

[Moreover, as more jobs (including supposedly highly skilled tech jobs) are automated out of existence, many of us are likely to end up in low-paying service jobs - at least until the robots take those as well.]
> I warned people not to buy games on Stadia.

I got a full refund for the Stadia games and hardware - which I got to keep (free 4k Chromecast and Bluetooth controller!). The shutdown of Stadia could not have been handled better - if Google handled all their other service sunsets like they did with Stadia, I'd be more inclined to take a risk with Google.

Packing a controller and a Chromecast was the epitome of traveling light, and served me very well when I had to travel a lot for work. I could resume my games on hotel room TVs, or even on an underpowered laptop. Stadia's UX was frictionless - the couple of times I tried Nvidia's streaming, it felt a lot clunkier
I think your prior about the probability "dell messing up" needs some adjusting based on experience there.

If Amazon are crapping on dell's brand that is 100% Dell's problem to solve. As soon as they see the receipt they should honor the warranty fully and then go hard on Amazon because they look bad. But they do not care at all about their customers seems to be a common conclusion based on experience. Whether amazon suck does not make dell's conduct any more acceptable.

Dell are known for their total contempt of their customers.
From the article you linked: "There are therefore two kinds of legal entities: human and non-human. In law, a human person is called a natural person (sometimes also a physical person), and a non-human person is called a juridical person"

No where in that article does it cite a jurisdiction where a non-human legal entity has the same rights and responsibilities as a human. My point still stands that a human has a different, albeit overlapping, set of rights and responsibilities in comparison to other legal entities.

Several years back, before Jira became the software everyone loves to hate, I worked at a smallish company where the engineers had brought up local Jira instance as a sort of skunkworks project, because the bug-tracking tool the company had been using wasn't working for them. They set it up to fulfill the basic need for programmers on a team to keep track of their work.

Fast forward a couple of years and it had become the company standard, replacing whatever preceded it, and the company had at least doubled in number of employees. The Jira workflows and ticket fields got the "corporate standard" makeover, including adding a field with so many values that alone it accounted for much of the increasingly poor performance.

The arguments the author makes here encapsulate the evolution at my then-employer. Everything became about using an enforced process and workflow. The worst part about it was how some of the changes were enforced on all projects from the top down, meaning teams (like mine) that had a reasonably good, workable project setup had to change the way we did things, use different terms, and generally give up the working style that made use successful.

Some time later, much to my chagrin, I ended up consulting at a company using something even worse than Jira: + Azure DevOps, Azure Boards, and all things Azure. These were coupled with the micromanagement and non-manager anti-patterns described in this article into a situation where developers spent more time pushing buttons and shuffling tickets arounds than writing code. The engineering manager made it clear how, to her, seeing tickets moving through the workflow on the board, on schedule was as important as working code.
