Since the first release of the iPhone? I find that hard to believe since the release notes for iOS 6 specifically called out their fine-grained permissions improvements. There was clearly some wholesale bundling before that.

The thing to optimize for is letting experts communicate with each other clearly and concisely. I’m only going to be a newcomer to a system for a short time, and any work while I'm ramping up is not going to be very valuable.

This could be used with modular synthesizer stuff, but you would have to be very careful about voltages, since the "logic module" here uses 3V and you'll most likely kill it with higher voltages or negative voltages on the inputs.

If you plan to use such digital logic gates in a modular synthesizer, you most likely want to add some protection circuit on the inputs and run the whole thing at 5V instead of 3V.
When Microsoft says "your CPU needs to be this high in order to run Windows 11", perhaps listen to them eh?
> drip coffee (french press and cold press are fine for some reason)

That's so wild. If anything, you'd expect it to be the other way around, since French or cold press methods have the bean/grounds touch the water directly and therefore leave more oils in the final product, vs. drip coffee where it goes through a filter.
Yes, exactly; thanks.
But why didn't they just settle is my question.
Yes - I wouldn't recommend someone use WEB to program in unless they were already Knuth-like, but the concepts and examples of "how it is done" is worth reading.

Just like if I were to write a book, it wouldn't be in the style of Plutarch's Lives, I'm still glad I read them.
I'd suggest Racket (https://racket-lang.org) which is a batteries-included language environment that includes scheme and has a lot of high-quality documentation.

If you want to write the history of Python async things in order, you'll need to put Twisted in many more of the places: it was callbacks only in the very beginning, then worked via generators, and once Python added async syntax used that. "Twisted (callbacks)" is a simplification that ignores the influence Twisted has had even on non-Python ecosystems; Deferreds have been imitated all over the place.

I remember reading (probably from one of his books) that Sagan's idea for a life-detecting experiment on Mars was never actually sent there (apparently this experiment went instead). IIRC, it was basically to put a sample in a box and just watch it to see if anything changed at all in a way that indicates that some chemical process is happening.

Here are some interesting slides I found while trying to figure out what his actual experiment idea involved: https://www.vanderbilt.edu/olli/archive/Life_On_Mars_Session...

It looks like SpaceX may have messed up in terms of how only some, but not all, refugees/asylees are barred by ITAR. Reading deeper into 22 CFR § 120.62 [0] and linked regs shows a complex situation, but that's no excuse for SpaceX at this point who are plenty big enough to have good lawyers on this. But that is separate from your assertion about those who are restricted by ITAR:

>The fact that SpaceX deals in ITAR does not prevent them from hiring refugees for roles that do not handle ITAR.

This is way too casual a statement. At a company like that there won't necessarily be anything that doesn't potentially involve ITAR short of serious company reorganization, which is serious-business regulation and actively enforced. To take a simplistic example, even janitors might potentially have access to ITAR controlled materials if engineers threw them out into a bin bound for a shredder/incinerator and janitorial staff are trained and trusted parts of the disposal chain (which they should be!). Anyone might be able to overhear water cooler conversations. Etc.

At this point SpaceX might have some roles that can be segmented safely, completely firewalled from the rest of the organization. Tier 1 Starlink customer support perhaps. But it's not trivial when dealing with serious restricted tech to just say "oh these roles do not handle ITAR", because it's not about handling. Read "§ 120.56 Release" [1]:

(a) Release. Technical data is released through:
(1) Visual or other inspection by foreign persons of a defense article that reveals technical data to a foreign person;
(2) Oral or written exchanges with foreign persons of technical data in the United States or abroad;
(3) The use of access information to cause or enable a foreign person, including yourself, to access, view, or possess unencrypted technical data; or
(4) The use of access information to cause technical data outside of the United States to be in unencrypted form.

It's quite broad.

So yes, if SpaceX incorrectly excluded a group of people not covered by ITAR, they screwed up and will likely face some sort of fines/consent decree. But that doesn't mean it's trivial to then go and hire people who are covered by ITAR.

Fortunately all of history exists and we can look at the fact that where regulation wasn't imposed and see that the majority who were most willing to foist high external costs on society were able to out compete any minority that behaved more admirably and most markets tend to end up dominated by a few players nearly exclusively from the less ethical fellows as even a small initial advantage is magnified because higher profits in one cycle provide a successively higher advantage in future cycles. Economists have been explaining why this is for literally centuries. Markets don't handle externalities without external regulation. Despite centuries of examples we still have folks asking for "self regulation" which we know doesn't work.

Companies have and will kill thousands of people to have slightly more money.
Also in the other direction:

Been a T-Mobile user for over a decade, and never had technical issues.

The store staff are beyond useless. I always get help from their phone support personnel - but I almost never need to. It just works.

Their online portals are beyond crap. Example: I used to have one prepaid plan and would log in to make payments. Then I switched to another plan and I could no longer log in to manage it - my email address was tied to the prepaid plan I no longer had, and everyone I spoke to said "Our IT folks say they can't do anything and that I should just create a new account with another email address".

In order to avoid manually making the monthly (prepaid) payments, I set up automation with them - it would automatically charge my card each month. Except they could never align the date properly - so for about a day every month I could not make calls. They could never fix it - the problem just went away when I switched plans.

Sure, but shouldn't the government design them to minimize the cost created by the interaction? It seems silly that it's illegal to discriminate against some categories of non-citizens and illegal not to discriminate against other categories of non-citizens.
This sub-thread confuses all kinds of issues.

About not blindly trusting photos, that ship has sailed. The tools exist. Have existed long before generative AI. Are accessible. Do not require very much "talent". That's done. You can't blindly trust photos. When you get a photo or a few photos - be it in a scientific paper or a tabloid web site - you can ask yourself whether it makes sense. You can consider the context. Generative AI does not change that.
There's any number of reasons animals might migrate south rather than radiating in all directions. Lots of factors affect migration. It's certainly a question that needs answering, but far from a reason to dismiss the whole hypothesis.

Legal disputes often center on disputes on the meaning of law (including regulations.)

Yes, government actions often smell just a little “of or relating to government, a government, or the conduct of government”.

Speaking as a lover of Scala who has seen Scala codebases go wrong in the cliché ways, Kotlin would be the first language I would consider if I were starting a new commercial software codebase today.

You are basing this on nothing. You linked nothing, you have no evidence of any kind. You are hallucinating what you want to believe.

Your second graph.. "cases OR deaths". Quality science.

One of many graphs that I linked. You said:

Of course it was, you can tell by the overwhelming amount of evidence out there, some of it I linked here.

Depends a lot on what you're doing too. I do a fair bit of heavy data processing work with my search engine (tokenizing something like a billion documents into arrays of words etc), and allocator contention has a pretty huge performance impact for that type of work.

My intuition is that the best thing is to aim for the expected median size, rather than the maximum as one might assume would be the most performant. The maximum strategy minimizes re-allocations, but at the expense of always making costlier allocations.
Since I entered Rust (circa 2018-2019) and async/.await was stabilized, I started to lose my expectations on the growth of the language. Almost every language issue I wanted to be resolved is still unresolved (besides GATs, which are great but took a really long time to be shipped). Meanwhile, the community doesn't cease to perpetually endorse the language; you literally see top-scoring posts like "I felt in love with Rust, can't stop loving Rust, it's so wonderful" every month or so on r/rust, a lot of reaffirming articles expounding on the "success" of the language, collective exultation when it's again most loved on SO, etc.

The current situation with the language is somewhat sad.
Until the prognosis is "100% chance of the imminent death of all humans", there will always be something we can do. We have passed "points of no return" meaning we won't avoid all consequences of climate change, but climate change isn't a binary "either we're fine or everybody dies" kind of thing. The more we reduce emissions, the fewer people will ultimately die from climate change, the fewer people will be displaced as climate refugees, the fewer people will have their quality of life reduced, the slower the changes will occur, etc.

In terms of outcomes, "climate change is real but nothing we could do would have any effect" is identical to "climate change is fake", which is why you're getting lumped in with the deniers.

When "serverless" just got started and mostly focused on running functions with infinite (and automatic) scalability, the term "Functions-as-a-Service" (FaaS) seemed like a good competitor for a while, but that ship has long sailed.

It's a confusing term, but it's not the first one. We survived "JavaScript", and complaining it's not related to Java at all stopped being fashionable along with flip phones and it's only ever done as a joke[1]. I foresee the same thing would happen for serverless in 10 years, and we'll get tired of complaining that this term sucks.

FWIW, we just have to internalize that serverless means "a service where you don't have to provision and manage your cloud servers and you don't even know how many of them are out there", just we collectively internalized that the HTTP Authorization header is the header responsible for Authentication.

The law for immigration status in hiring is that you can't discriminate on the basis of it unless the government requires you to. The government's saying both that ITAR doesn't actually restrict asylees and refugees, and also that not being a "US person" under ITAR isn't really a bar that should count (you can get approval from the government for non-US persons to work on export-controlled stuff, or have them work on other things).

You can tell they're really hanging their hat on the first one, though: even if you say for simplicity you want to have only "US persons" under ITAR, that doesn't justify excluding asylees and refugees.

Among the evidence in the filing is, of course, an Elon Musk tweet, saying you need at least a green card to work at SpaceX.

Also, the numbers: over the course of about four years SpaceX hired exactly one asylee, and that one shortly after they were told they were under investigation.

Hey HN!
I just released a suite of AI models for deployment on UAV and other "overhead" devices to provide some understanding of the world below. The objective is to empower all sorts of open-source use cases around search and rescue, wildfire prevention, ground risk mitigation for flight over populated areas etc...
The neural networks are trained for a bunch of different devices from big GPUs to tiny edge AI cameras like the Luxonis OAK, with some optimised ones for Nvidia TensorRT and other cool bits and pieces too.
The main release package also includes some boilerplate code for running on your own drone images and videos, so check it out whether you have a DJI hobby drone or a massive Raytheon platform!
I've seen that video a number of times and it's great. Very compelling. You really feel like he understands how important it is to model good behavior. And I think it not only matters to children but to adults as well. People look at the environment around them to figure out what behaviors are acceptable throughout their entire lives. I think this is especially relevant today given the particularly dark turn that politics have taken since 2016. I think we all look to our leaders to figure out what to do, whether consciously or unconsciously and also whether we like those leaders or not.
> optimistic about how personal-computing would empower individuals with tools they personally owned and controlled and configured for their own benefit.

That's happened. The issue is most people don't _want_ to control and configure these things; they want to outsource that to someone else.

And that's where "influences" and "creators" and such step in: they're offering to sit in front of the firehose and tune things for their audience.
