It’s not missing the point, it’s that the author of this screed lead with whining about a project breaking compatibility on a major release. Since most of the software world has collectively agreed that’s how it’s supposed to work, whatever else they wrote is going to be buried because the author chose to start the post that way. Since they picked a deliberately provocative title there’s little chance that’s going to be a salvageable conversation.
g itself in humans is primarily the fact that between brain to brain, we have the same structures.

LLMs don't have these structures, so their intelligence is different. Even if you trained an LLM with a trillion params, it won't reach our intelligence unless it matches our structures abilities. (And the more params you add, the more trade offs you get, different conversation).

Now, once you have these structures, you have AGI. (Just like if you have a brain, you can perform all human cognitive tasks). However, how you connect these structures will be the difference between an Einstein AI and a Picasso AI. It doesn't mean some AIs will be less intelligent or more (as long as they have the same structures like each brain does (except for neurodegenerative diseases)), but rather will optimize the usage of those structures already there, just like our human brains.

If there are more structures you can add that makes intelligence and consciousness enhanced, then you arrive at superintelligence.

Otherwise, thinking of g as making human brains or AI more or less intelligent will not lead you to solving education for humans nor finding AGI.
Most of Wikipedia- especially CS and IT topics- is out of date. Only the top few percentile of articles get ongoing attention.
Truthfully, I can't remember what my first projects looked like. I started, I created projects using the downloadable Scratch 1.4 application and didn't begin uploading projects to the public website until I was (apparently) already doing complicated things.

Going back to look at my first uploaded project on my first account, I implemented a "programing language" [sic]: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/10165000/ which is obviously not a beginner's project.

However, what I expect inspired me to create this project and keep creating was exploring the public projects that other users were uploading. For example, scrolling through my projects, I see several "Operating System" simulators that were inspired by others (operating systems were all the rage on Scratch).

Because you can "See Inside" every public Scratch project, it's easy to see something you like (e.g. a game, an animation) and make your own while heavily borrowing ideas and code from others. I was fortunate that my parents allowed me mostly-unrestricted access to a desktop computer where I was able to explore and create on my own.
Ex-government agents from all governments work in tech companies that it's absolutely useless.

This just seems to be a dynamically trained MT algorithm that overtrained on charged discourse occurring over the past week. Also, I think FB uses their own MT algorithm instead of Google or Bing Translate for competitive and profit margin reasons.
You misread. Google paid Apple more. That's why Apple turned Bing sale offer down.

Google search results are horrible! For some time now they bump dummy websites that copycat original work and simply litter the site with ads. Even with these sifted out, their search isn't better. I use some obscure engine and I'm not missing hits.

The days of altavista are long gone. Alternative engines, like qwant, are good.

So, Apple keeping Google as default because they're good? I don't buy it.

Trucking startup? Convoy sounds like an ordinary freight exchange to me, where truckers trade available loading space against transport orders. For each assigned order, the trucker pays a transaction fee to the platform. Plus there are additional services like factoring: get paid immediately by the platform instead of 30 days later by the shipper, platform usually keeps 5% commission for this.

Dozens of platforms like this exist in Europe, not sure why everybody makes a fuss about it.
I don't understand how the liability could lie elsewhere. I understand why the bank might want to tell a customer "someone else took your money. It sucks to be you", but it seems pretty clear cut that it's no different than the bank somehow misplacing funds for any other reason (at least as far as the customer is concerned. The bank's insurer presumably cares about the particulars of how they're misplacing money).

There's a lot of precious opinions about how things like social media networks should look and be experienced by the user. And we _love_ to look down on the fact that people use them everyday, multiple times a day. What Instagram (or Facebook, etc) now is what Instagram is. What Instagram _was_ no longer exists as it continues generating revenue, so… what's the problem?

FWIW, I'm a <5m day Instagram user. I try to promote the things I make with it. I barely noticed that those new inserts were Threads posts until I read about it here. All that says to me is modern users are good at finding what they want out of the app and ignoring whatever doesn't work for them.
It seems to me that maybe saying that CRDTs are "good for one particular problem," whereas Reflect can do anything, is a bit misleading? Reflect is eventually consistent, but if you want e.g. string mutations to make sense, you still need to de facto model your text as a CRDT. (Unique IDs per letter, tombstones, etc.) Otherwise, you'll end up with garbled text.

I think the counterargument would be they are different programs with different goals. TF is decidedly focused on innovation and entrepreneurship so it is obviously focused on cultivating that, while the Rhodes scholarship has a different angle. Comparing the two by the number of entrepreneurs they create is like measuring a sports car and tractor by comparing their top speeds.

I think it makes perfect sense - in fact, divorcing healthcare entirely from employment.
Zeekraal is really nice in lots of dishes. It goes well with at least pasta, patatoes and salads.
I used to be WoW GM (many, many years ago now) and 3 hour suspensions effectively worked like this, if you were offline it would only start the timer when you next logged back in. I can’t recall for sure, but I think 24 and 72 hour suspensions were different and started the count down at the time applied.
The whole issue with this premise is that someone has to bear the risk. There are no 20 year olds who know with certainty that they don't or will not soon have health concerns that require insurance. Anyone could be get hit with a car walking across the street or get a photon to break some DNA in their skin and cause a melanoma. 20 year olds are not invincible or always in perfect working order.
Quick note that this wasn't a bankruptcy. Company just ceased operations. It still exists.
Java and JavaScript are actually hampered in that regard because they have to pretend that the encoding is UTF-16. Thus the limitation to Latin-1. With UTF-8, seeking in the middle of the string would be harder.
Support is bad because outsourced everything, and the outsourcing companies are under huge pressure to cut costs and especially human costs. Everything is measured, and extra time responding to complaints is a huge red flag, so its made as hard as possible to interact with humans. Time for empathy is out of the question, and its probably a security risk.

In less than 5 years, all of this will be replaced by LLMs, and we will have the luxury of talking to a warm but completely fake human who will provide us even less help than before.
> It's ensuring you'll get the exact script they provided and run that to install on your system.

Cryptographic signatures can prove that. Curl bash'ing really doesn't.

The very few software I install that aren't shipped with Debian (and hence signed and, for the most, also bit-for-bit reproducible btw), I do verify their signature (when they're signed).

For that one program I really need that thinks bash curl'ing is somehow as secure as Debian signed (and reproducible) packages (it really isn't) or offers as much guaranteed as a signed software "because https" (it really doesn't), what I do is download the binary myself, take its cryptographic hash, and store that cryptographic hash for later use.

So, at least, if I need to reinstall it I know I'm reinstalling the exact same binary I curl bash'ed last time.

Curl bash'ing is really a pathetic way to ship software.
Sea lettuce is still used in some traditional Italian dishes ("zeppolelle di mare" for example).

I'm pretty sure I had some other sea plants in Italian recipes too, it's not very common but not unseen.

Internet communications which exit/enter the state do, but there's still the issue of communications which stay within the state. The states have Congress-given authority to regulate intrastate (not interstate) internet communications. Moreover, by reclassifying broadband from Title II to Title I, the FCC gave up the part of its authority that allowed it to preempt state net neutrality laws. I wrote more on this technicality in a different comment [1].

That question is meaningless, because "Allah" is the translation into Arabic of the English word "God".

Neither of these two words is a name of a god, which normally does not matter, because both the Christians and the Muslims believe that there exists only one god, so it is not necessary to have a proper name for that god.

Obviously, whenever a Christian believer or a Muslim believer speaks about the "God", they speak about the only god they believe in, so it makes no sense to ask them which god they mean.

A non-believer may speak about the God of the Muslims and about the God of the Christians, to make clear the intended meaning, and the latter phrase might be translated into Arabic with words meaning "the Allah of the Christians".

I'm not super familiar with Mac but I also notice that numpy here is using openblas64. I had thought the go-to was the Accelerate framework? Or is that part of it somehow? If so it would be interesting to see how that impacts performance. Of course it's all kind of an argument for something like Mojo that gives better performance out of the box. Also an argument for why Mojo would be way more interesting if it was open source.
"A sawtooth is a wave that looks like the blade of a saw. It is pretty close to sinusoidal, so it sounds somewhat like a single tone, but there is some distortion and harmonics; not nearly as much as you'd get from a square wave, though."

In Fourier terms, a sinusoidal is the fundamental frequency.
A square wave contains the fundamental frequency + all odd harmonics.
A saw wave contains the fundamental frequency + all odd and even harmonics.

No distortion is needed to shape a saw wave and the rest of what you said is inaccurate.
The series A startup I work for just laid off 30% of its staff. They got 3 months severance, 6 months healthcare and outplacement support.

I... don't know what you changed because Firefox does not offer a system webview. They just... don't. Firefox offers GeckoView, but that's an app library that also does what WebView does, not a system application. There's not even any Firefox forks that build up a system webview because none of the forks think it's worthwhile after Google locked it down so much.

The closest you'd get to a "firefox webview" is by installing a Magisk module/non-Google ROM that replaces it with a stub application that forwards any "open system webview" call to your regular browser (so it works like clicking an http link). In the past you could just install that stub on any old Android device, but Google locked it down by letting vendors set a signature that a system webview would need to adhere to[0] (as well as a ton of other restrictions).

To be clear, I am not referring to what happens if you just click an http link in an app and the app just calls the browser. That setting respects browser choice. I am referring to the WebView[1] component, which a lot of apps use as a substitute for launching the browser and relies on an underlying app called the Android System WebView[2] to render the pages. For a legitimate usecase; in chat applications (ie. Discord), where a user might visit a website only to then want to immediately go back to the chat itself, the app instead just creates a WebView and... that one is always Chromium, and is nowadays enforced by vendor settings (so it can't be changed without root). In less legitimate usecases, this is done for tracking reasons.

(Another big user of the WebView component for this was Facebook Messenger, but Facebook has switched to using an internal version of this webview component, for reasons only understood by Facebook and it effectively acts as a shadow "fourth internet browser" that is in practice a somewhat outdated version of Chromium.)

How to Fight Distraction (In a Crazy News Cycle)
I think it would likely be called a non-universal multiple single-payer system if you want to get pedantic about things, but either way given that Americans spend more on healthcare in relative terms while lagging in most health measures makes it all seem very foolish.

Not to mention they seem to have no problem treating it as "their" money while lending it out to other people, but as soon as someone tricks them into sending it to the wrong place, suddenly it was "your" money.

It reminds me of when I was a kid, my sister and I got two identical fish and couldn't disambiguate which was mine and which was hers. But when one of them died, she made sure to let me know that was my fish.
Boilerplate vapid moralizing nonsense. Are you assuming there's some magic stockpile of millions upon millions hiding somewhere that could be used to sever all of these people? You've already been told this is fantastically unrealistic for a startup bankruptcy. Unless you can suggest where to find the funds, you need a reality check.
Even if it's caused by their incompetence, you'll have to sort it out if it happens, and they won't really care all that much.
It seems like they killed the gut bacteria with antibiotics, then transferred the bacteria from alzheimer's patients, causing symptoms.

They will need to do something with it, because they killed Adobe XD for it.

If they don't do anything with it, this will drive people (back) to tools like Linearity, Pixelmator and Sketch in droves which will kill Creative Cloud - and the company.

Believe me that they will not do that.
Or there's my take: release early, release often, release everything.
autotab is not an always on browser extension like you are probably used to. autotab is only added to the Selenium-controlled browser window you use to write the automation while you're recording.

Also my experience differs more broadly, I use browser extensions quite a bit, e.g. for ad blocking and password management. Afaik Honey was basically a browser extension and was bought by Paypal for $4B.
Would you also propose driving license suspensions for drivers that fail to move out of the way for emergency vehicles or illegally double-parked a vehicle and blocked passage of an emergency vehicle?
> If it was an intentional pre-meditated murder

From what I understand he was convicted for second degree murder, specifically "unintentional second-degree murder while attempting to commit felony assault". So he may not have intended for George Floyd to die, but he did intentionally assault George Floyd who died as a result. So that's not intentional premeditated murder, but it's nevertheless a form of murder.

(He was also simultaneously convicted for third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter, but not first-degree murder.)
Why not? Why is it expected that massive companies cut corners on all aspects of customer support and it be okay?
I think if the front line bot was an LLM, rather than what is probably regex, they would probably have more true positives and less false positives that would potentially allow them to have a real person handling the exceptions - then train the LLM on the exception for the next release.

Ruined verification, ruined home timeline algorithm, promotion of political nonsense throughout the platform, extremely bizarre bottom of the barrel scam ads replacing reputable advertisers, inscrutable links with no headlines, and proliferation of "engagement hustlers" who posts clickbait to get to our timelines at the hope of getting something from the revenue sharing program. Made worse by the fact moderation basically does not exist anymore. Including fake content about real events, like Ukraine and Palestine. Also banned third party clients, including their own Tweetdesk (replaced by a shitty webapp), frequent reliability issues. I mean I can go on all day.

The question is how come YOU do not know any of that? You must be way more casual user than me, I guess.

Twitter used to be a medium where I come for links to content from anyone I care about. Many I care about are gone from the platform or inactive. Many others I care about just do not show up on my timeline, because the timeline prioritizes garbage I don't care about. I keep clicking "Following" but it never sticks. Intentionally.

Twitter is only slightly better than 4chan right now. And getting worse by the minute.
As far as I know, you still don't get e.g. create-if-not-exist. The object listing is now strongly consistent, but you don't get to do atomic operations on it.

> I was also taught "it's a poor craftsman that blames their tools", which apparently means "take responsibility for your fuckups", but, to young-me, definitely sounded more like "you don't deserve nice things".

This may be controversial. I think this phrase is very misunderstood. As a former craftsman I think the real meaning was more to do with how a real craftsman only has good tools and maintains them properly. They can't blame their tools, because they are beyond reproach.
They seem to be used by people who generate most of their money from some platforms, but want to be visible on others. Corporate social media often limits how many links you can have in your bio, and often limits what you can link to (eg. online sex workers can't link to their smut from everywhere, or will have their posts suppressed if they link to smut, but can link to link aggregators which link to their smut). I think their core user base is more like "influencers" and "makers of controversial art" than "Hacker News posters" because most Hacker News posters have a day job or a business.
