> the whole point of marketing is to generate revenue for the business, albeit indirectly

With varying levels of indirection that's true of nearly all things a company does, though. When IT fixes some sale person's laptop that will have a direct positive impact on that person's sales, and thus on revenue. Spending too little on those IT people would have lost you revenue, conversely spending more might lead to more revenue.

In the end it's all a framework any company can apply as they want. You are right that a marketing department is much more likely to be judged by the company's revenue (attributed by department as much as possible), while maintenance or IT support is unlikely to be judged by that criteria. But imho that's mostly because it's really difficult to judge building maintenance by their contribution to revenue, not because it doesn't make sense to do so if you had the data.
I’m not seeing the relevance. If you’re going to move the goalposts, you could at least explain why.
We use Miro as well, it's pretty solid. Our PMs use it for almost everything. Developers, however, prefer draw.io

That is a very impressive demo. Does anyone know if the details of the codec, and the measurements used by the headset to generate the facial stream, have been publicly released yet?

The interview gets quite interesting nearer the end where Zuckerberg talks about his vision for the future, like training AI-backed avatars to simulate real people. Which apparently is not far off from reality - they joke about Fridman doing a podcast where he interviews an AI version of himself in the near future. Reminds me a bit of that Black Mirror episode where Miley Cyrus' character has AI versions of herself contained, or trapped, within consumer electronics.

It also occurs to me that this could be a useful technology for people with social anxiety who have to endure uncontrollable blushing when conversing in real life, or people with awkward facial tics. These could be filtered out or not even recorded before being encoded for transmission, while still giving a realistic appearance, making for a more comfortable presentation of the real-virtual self.
> TSA used that Subpeona as part of the detainment criteria

TSA has no authority to detain anyone. You can literally walk away.
Thats broken in the sdl freerdp client (which is the one they recommend for wayland since they deprecated wlfreerdp). Its go8ng to be annoying for a while until sdl3 comes out and they code that bavk into the sdl client.

Akshually APL can be considered more classical than algol-style languages, since it originated as mathematical notation for teaching programming on a blackboard in class.

Lisp beats APL by a few years though, so there it really depends on whether you value lisp's seniority or APL's connection to math notation traditions more when judging how "classical" a language syntax is.
Sounds like those interested in maintaining liberty and the freedom of travel should probably take note.

“There's no particular individual who the government is suspicious of,” Adam Schwartz of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, told RealClearInvestigations. “It's a dragnet.”
I've had this idea for a while now but what if someone built a game console based on the Pi hardware?

I know lots of people use their pi's for retro gaming but I'd really like to see some new games made for the hardware.

Does anyone know if there's a group working on this or would be interested in creating one?
A lot of behaviors can lead to good and bad outcomes. We give guns to policemen to protect citizen. They might also misuse it. We write rules that govern these behaviors to avoid or minimize the bad outcomes.

In this scenario we already have a good idea of what people might do when given the chance if you look at science fiction.

Instead of waiting for the technology to get ready we should really think hard on which aspect of this technology we want to adopt and which ones we want to ban. For example if you can scale this technology by not requiring women wombs, should we allow the government to grow an army of clones? Would these clones have the same right as normal citizen?

We can allow individuals to have kids through this method while banning the government from misusing it (in theory).
Funny that a site trashing YAML is actually a great resource for it. I, for one, am more than happy to use YAML, there isn't a better alternative today to write human-friendly, complex configuration.

> I kept on trying to find a parallel that fit within people's mental model without it being a leaky abstraction

It's a good analog, but doesn't mention a credit card as a hard-dependency :p

With all seriousness, I'm sure you're working on a swell tool. I also understand how difficult it is writing confident ad copy. This still sends the wrong message though, and I'm afraid you're going to get a lot of users belly-laughing at a Git comparison for non-GPL software. That's my only real comment on the thing.

Good luck with your service otherwise!
Something a wag wrote when the Pope allowed the rhythm method of birth control: Now you couldn't use chemistry or physics for family planning, but math was ok.

It was a joke, but it was also very true.

Was a time folks assumed fairies planted children in women's stomachs. Nowadays we know better. Lots better: now we can control the process deliberately. To claim any particular advancement in this chain of understanding is an abomination or horrifying, is a terrible temptation to update that joke.

I don't see how any human being is 'horrifying', but I fear there will be those that dehumanize some of us, and call them subhuman or make it a crime for them to be born. Resist this impulse!
Even before LLMs, I think that codegen (the model driven variety) was a good thing!

For example, you could throw a WSDL file at SoapUI and get an API client that let you play around with it (https://www.soapui.org/docs/soap-and-wsdl/working-with-wsdls...) or client code for some frameworks (https://www.soapui.org/docs/soap-and-wsdl/soap-code-generati...), more or less what OpenAPI/Swagger is really nice for nowadays: https://swagger.io/tools/swagger-ui/ and https://swagger.io/tools/swagger-codegen/

You can also do the reverse, say, go from a live MySQL/MariaDB database running somewhere or a script to a model of it by reverse engineering (https://dev.mysql.com/doc/workbench/en/wb-reverse-engineerin...), so that you can explore and change it in a visual manner. You can take either that, or a model created from scratch and either synchronize it with an existing schema, or get the full set of SQL migrations for setting it up from scratch: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/workbench/en/wb-design-schema.html and https://dev.mysql.com/doc/workbench/en/wb-forward-engineerin...

Codegen like that can even extend across architecture tiers. For example, I can take a live database with said schema, connect JetBrains Rider with an EntityFramework plugin (using ASP.NET and C# here as an example, though similar solutions exist in Java and other tech stacks) and generate a set of entities with mostly correct data types and relation mappings automatically: https://blog.jetbrains.com/dotnet/2022/01/31/entity-framewor...

Not only that, but OpenAPI/Swagger codegen is integrated in ASP.NET so I can also end up with a web based UI to test any APIs that I might make, should I opt to create controllers that use those entities.

While most of the codegen I've seen in an academic context has been more or less a mess (broken Eclipse plugin based tools), practical approaches like this are wonderful - for the more boring and boilerplate stuff, I can basically draw a few boxes and get bunches of SQL and C# code that I can then change and/or fine tune as necessary, using the generated stuff as a basis (even though re-generating it would probably overwrite the changes).

LLMs feel like the logical next step: feed in a bunch of projects and language documentation and you can query the LLM with various questions about how to do something, to at least sometimes send you on the correct search path yourself without having to jump around 15 different documentation pages, maybe only 5 will suffice now. I use ChatGPT fairly liberally for my personal projects and while it's no silver bullet, it feels like a value add to me, since there's a surprising amount of boilerplate out there for the boring problems that I solve, with every framework and language solving the same stuff in slightly different ways.
Remote / online Dungeons & Dragons here we come.
I think as software matures, we will settle on free software. We more or less already did server side.

Then it will be up to the OS maintainers to make sure the software is compatible with their operating system, like how it works with FOSS systems already.

A man can dream anyway...
The distinction between lists and vectors manifests from the same two distinct Clojure collection types. They are syntactically distinct within the language and are present to provide homoiconicity -- code as data -- Clojure lisp expressions can be represented in EDN. Vectors, [], are typically the preferred collection literal.
Ask HN: Could a pregnant woman with COVID-19 pass the virus onto the child?
Disclaimer: I am not pregnant, nor do I have COVID-19. This is just a rethorical question I thought of two days ago.
Interesting how the term "Auto Update Expiration (AUE)" shifts the focus to being about the device rather than about Google. Something about giving it an initialism too, makes it sound like Google are describing some fundamental law of the world to you (like MTBF) where their hands are tied rather than it being an arbitrary business decision. How many psychologists do they have on payroll to come up with these things?
If you think it's so easy to measure academic bloat, why not go do it? Someone should start an index of wasteful spending by university or something.
This has been implemented: https://github.com/philipl/pifs
Because you're clicking through a HN story when the title is about Google shutting down a product, but did not click through the HN stories when it was announced or when it became generally available. (But those product announcement submissions did actually get a surprising amount of attention on HN, https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...)

Google is the perfect example of living off just a couple of good decisions made in the past. I wonder how many rich people behave just like Google, i.e. they are touted as being business geniuses but in reality got their wealth from a luckily investment and it has been a struggle ever since
It needs a graph over time. It seems like it's going exponential based on HN headlines.
> What if there was a corporation that bought out every entrant involving new technology (not necessarily monopolizing their already dominant verticals, but other new inventions/ideas)? They either have a winner, or they stifle innovation in corresponding area for the lifetime of any associated patents.

There are companies like this: patent trolls. That's why the big tech companies all have patent sharing agreements now.
it's less about what foods to eat and more about eating much less: one modest-sized meal a day. that's all we "need". we eat too much of everything and our bodies are not evolved for such excess. this is literally the biggest bang for buck for chronic diseases like this, but also the hardest thing to do because of socio-cultural considerations. it also takes some time to train your digestive system down to that level.

once you have amounts under control, then you can taper off the processed foods, especially sugary things like soda/juice (fruit is ok because it comes with fiber), salty things like chips/frozen dinners, and bread/rice products (a little whole grain here and there is ok). minimize processed foods but don't worry too much about the mix of foods otherwise (protein/fat is fine, just don't overeat).

then taper up anaerobic exercise to 2-3 times a week. find a sport or activity you like (e.g., tennis) and pay for an organized league/class so that you stay committed. (aerobic) walking, for instance, is not typically strenuous enough for your body to process the excess nutrients and improve cardiovascular fitness, which is what's needed to help keep heart disease under control. you can start with walking if you're in bad shape, but you'll want to graduate to anaerobic exercise as soon as you can.
For people like me who enjoy only, and exactly, that.
> a smartphone has a different form factor and ecosystem than a laptop.

But there is nothing stopping them from standardizing their own and building out support from other players in the industry.

My point is, during the Fairphone 3/3+ years they seem to be going in this direction. This is why that I bought in the first place. With the FP4, they went from "company with potential to disrupt the market and do good things" to "company that just follow practices from shitty Big Tech and does good marketing".

> Fairphone existed before Framework did, btw.

And? Just because they came before they can't change?

Another way of spinning this - if "fancy autocomplete" is giving you a 30% productivity boost then either you're not actually in the top 10%, or you're doing working on "top 10% problems".
Had this happen to me with some duct tape and a malfunctioning strobing light next to me on a red-eye. I'm an aircraft builder but she didn't want to hear my explanation about how TSOs and the FARs work. I just waited until they stopped paying attention.
> I've met every single one of my friends in a mixed-gender context (college, rec league sports, work, friend's party, D&D group, etc.).

They were acquaintances when you met them there, and later became friends.

> I've hung out with all of them either one-on-one or with other women besides my partner, otherwise I wouldn't consider them good friends.

I'm kind of surprised by that. Do you mean that you are spending time alone with other women in their houses or in your house, and your spouse is fine with that?

Maybe people are far less sexual in different places in the world, but where I live everybody will assume that when a man and a woman spend time together alone, they are having sex. I assume that too. Of course discounting for relatives.

All my women friends completely understood that I couldn't see them outside of in a group setting when I got into a relationship.
> The part that amazes me, though, is that they don't seem to believe that the person being called "whore" or "salope" or whatever can have consented to such "violence."

This is consistent with French law, where one can not legally consent to this kind of abuse.
Chrome has an exception for requiring tls on localhost for certain services. That, plus an extension to disable CORS on it has gotten me as far as I've needed (so far). What roadblocks have you come across?
And it’s weird the repaired plane wasn’t given a very thorough inspection the next chance it could.
> This sounds like an incredibly easy problem to solve if some people felt like solving it

If you ignore the hardest part of the problem; getting everyone to agree and coordinate, then yes it’s a simple problem to solve! You can simplify any problem like this, just ignore the hard part!

Excellent for capitalizing on parasocial relationships.
That is a beautiful thread as to what was the original source
of the network neutrality bittorrent vs voip bufferbloat blowup.

https://twitter.com/jlivingood/status/1707078242857849244

With tons of links to all the technical activity it sparked since.

Seeing all the political activity tied onto it since (and now again) reminds me of two families at war about an incident that had happened generations and generations before, where the two sides no longer remembered why they hated each other so, but just went on hating, and not forgiving, and not moving on.

Yes, there are entirely separate and additional NN issues, but the technical problem of providing common carriage between two very different network application types (voip/gaming vs file transfer) is thoroughly solved now, and if only all sides recognised at least this much, and made peace over it, and worked together to deploy those solutions, maybe, just maybe, we could find mutually satisfactory solutions to the other problems that plague the internet today, like security, and the ipv6 rollout.

If anyone here knows anyone more political, still vibrating with 10+ years of outrage about NN on this fronts, on one side or the other, if you could sit them down, over a beer, and try to explain that at the start it was a technical problem nobody understood at the time, maybe that would help
Wait wait, is someone suggesting that the government gave itself an end run around the constitution, and then they used that to circumvent the constitution?
I’m not educated in philosophy, except my interest in natural philosophy, so I may be completely confused here.

My sense is that morals are based on values that were instilled in humans in the evolutionary milieu. Half a million years of living as bands of Hunter gatherers. But these values are not completely consistent. For example, we think that stealing from others is wrong, but we also think that not sharing is wrong. These are rules of thumb that evolved in Hunter gatherer societies.

So we have inconsistent values, and which values are most preeminent differ depending on what society we are in.

On top of this are sex roles and sexual morality that were developed because of the needs of agricultural societies, which were very different than what was needed to survive as Hunter gatherers.

So there are a wide variety of moralities that individuals can settle on as they try to make sense of all these contradictory impulses.
https://easyeda.com/ is another alternative that has PCB factories backing it up.
What if a paper was a collaboration between 3 universities across the world?
Right! This is why I actually bought the 3. I thought this was going to be their modus operandi, but that hope went down the drain when they launched the FP4.
You should see someone about your brain damage.
So how come they are able do this in real time, on a headset, over the internet, yet next gen gaming consoles don’t even get close to that level of detail?
It wont be. China in particular stands out as a place where this will be heavily utilized. There just arent any negative feelings towards this kind of stuff.
The break is that it’s gone from a research problem to an engineering one.
How is this going to solve anything? Unless the school itself has skin in the loan, currently the only impact of bankruptcy discharge would be on private loan operators (who would probably go under) or on taxpayers who would absorb the loan losses. The schools are getting paid their tuition from the loans immediately, they won't even notice.
Exactly that. Spending enormous sums of money to blockade the competition out of the market, to keep other search providers away from users to the extent possible.

As far as classic US anti-trust is concerned, that's a gigantic standard tell, what Google has been doing to shield its market position. If you go around paying very large sums to keep competitors out, that's a classic approach to abusing market power (as the US approaches anti-trust law) that is likely to be causing harm to consumers by denying competition in the market.

It's the exact same reason Facebook isn't allowed to go around buying up all the social networks, even though on paper they easily could (they could trivially afford to have purchased: Twitter, Pinterest, Snapchat, Reddit, etc). Google spending cash to limit competition by owning location should be viewed just the same.
And also courts routinely narrow it even further - things like a person saying "I think I want a lawyer" have been found to not be asking for a lawyer, etc
There have been a few documented cases where vertical transmission might have occurred, but it appears to be a rare event (most newborns tested shortly after birth are negative for the virus)

This lack of professionalism is a bit off-putting to me. Just saying, don't put stuff like that on your front page.
> By calling human beings zombies I’m going to assume you lack any empathy.

I certainly haven't displayed any, you're right. I would say that "drug addicted people in the streets, unable to care for themselves" is more humanizing than "zombies", but otherwise is unwieldy.

> I can say with near 100% certainty you know people who consume drugs.

This may well be true, but they certainly are hiding it from me, hence my lack of comprehension of the issue. With over a hundred Americans dying of opioids everyday, it's clearly a widespread issue. I can understand that addicts have an enormous challenge to beat addiction, but I cannot understand how there seems to be more addicts everyday.
I think that solves any web scraping issues. Most issues I have with scraping websites are random/seldom changes in the pages. E.g., a bot detection pop-up that requires a captcha to solve. With GPT4V, I could just ask the model what to do and how.
Try the font import dialog box. Last time I checked it was the exact same as Win95.
I'm not, I'm implying that putting moral prerequisites onto reproductive rights is a de facto religious point of view.
I built https://flat.social that has whiteboarding functionalities (among others). Not as advanced as Miro or FigJam but useful for quick diagrams during meetings / brainstorming.
> No code removes friction from the org.

That’s so true. It’s not to build quickly, it’s to keep the agency within the non-engineering department.
well sure, you'd in practice connect things at a lower level. The point was to show I'm not just purporting a vague idea and then retreating behind jargon or expressed expertise and hand-waving. This is something you could do with a couple browser tabs open and like a 3 page manual.

How OpenAI processes things so quickly, that's the thing to marvel. I've got 4090s, I know what the fast-as-it-can-go speed is for a single machine. Doing this for tens of thousands of people simultaneously faster than I can do with high end software on my $10,000 workstation? Alright, that's impressive.

I know there's some incredibly expensive NVIDIA cards but they must be doing some more magic on top of that.
Thomas Sowell – Social Justice Fallacies [video]
I've read quite a bit of Chmosky's commentary, that how I knew to reference the old article from his own site.

It's perfectly valid to criticize US foreign policy and double so as a citizen. But Chomsky is jut full of shit and a liar. In Invasion Newspeak[1] he claims there was never any American Danchev with respect to Vietnam. Early coverage was actually critical[2], and after the Tet offensive it really went south. Chomsky just totally ignores this, it's inconvenient to his narrative. Moreover, you don't need to call refugees liars to criticize the US. You don't need to "well actually" what happened in Bosnia. Chomsky is a liar and piece of shit.
