It honestly doesn't simplify things over push notifications all that much. There are a lot of regulations if you are planning on having users in the US around A2P (Automated to Personal) messaging. You have to register a brand and transactional use campaign with TCR (The Campaign Registry - the regulatory body that manages this messaging), a process that costs money and can take months. They are capricious to say the least... So expect a lot of upkeep on your website, brand, campaign, and number usage as time goes on and they change regulations more or less on a whim.

As part of those regulations you have to deal with opt-in and opt-out formalities. It's a crime in the US to send a text message to someone in an automated way that they did not directly and concretely ask for. Doing so can result in heavy fines. Similarly if they opt out using any of a number of both standard and non-standard methods, you must comply with that even if it impacts their ability to use other parts of your system. You can work around that with multiple numbers, each attached to a different campaign of a different use-case, but do that too much and they'll get you for "snow shoeing" and it comes with more and more fines.

And on... And on... And on... This is my literal day-to-day job. I can say with relative confidence that if you are working with a small number of people, just use push notifications. It's actually easier.

Also, if you must go with SMS for whatever reason, your tier-1 providers, as you put it, will handle a lot of that regulatory guff for you (for a price of course), so don't look too far for other providers. If you want to own your own registered brand and campaign with TCR, then a good option is Telgorithm, although your integration complexity will go up pretty drastically.

Lastly, check your costs. Pricing for SMS is way more complicated than what the marketing language on provider websites seem to indicate. Talk with people doing similar things and get the real answers, and budget accordingly.
Sounds like the prospect of eminent domain seizures was also a contributing factor:

We know if this issue now, when it's fixed, you can remove the patch.

Sometimes you want some custom patches to suit your needs, then, well.. yeah, it takes some manual work.
> "rarely able to actually engage"

I've always hated this sort of talk. The myth that some people are inherently creative, or inherently logic brained, or inherently buisness brained, or whatever, and never the twain shall meet.

I've seen a spectrum in most dev teams I've worked in. Those with good communication, those without. However, I've also spoken to sales, HR, etc people who paint the whole team with one brush and are afraid to come and speak to the scary code people. This, I'm afraid to say, is often because those people were also bad communicators.

I agree there needs to be more awareness of the buisness realities among developers (personally I think it leads to more fulfilled and happy developers, among other things), but I think that can't be placed entirely on developer's heads. They can't know how the sales team's meeting in morocco next week's call might affect things if they have no idea that the meeting is happening, who the client is, what that client means in terms of the industry, the likely things that client might value. They are adults. A couple of onboarding meetings, occasional cross-training does wonders.

And if they did know that? They might be able to quickly throw something together that has a good chance of really impressing that client. Or provide certain insight into what the company's solution actually does for the client.
Sure, but that was an exceptional situation, not some sort of systemic problem. It’s also relatively easy to guard against in future.
I think the totals are--or at least they're close. But it's just sort of a weird way to do a visualization as opposed to just zero-basing the Y-axis.
This is ridiculous. The number of LOC doesn’t define whether something is well implemented. You can’t crank out a better design or proper feature implementation by asking developers to write code faster or write more code in a given day.
If cost is prohibitive, and you cannot pass it on to the users, you could consider using email instead. Where you would ask for a phone number, ask for an email address instead. Where you would send an SMS, send an email instead.
"how_ a candidate works and less about what they know"

I do get your point but depends on the role you are hiring for. I have had candidates get upset at me (for example: bootcampers) because they couldn't explain how to submit a basic HTML form but wanted me to look at their github "portfolio" that was done during the bootcamp with React/Express Code and what not. Their title was "Front end React Developer". That is a problem and I usually wouldn't hire those people.
Ctrl-c sends the interrupt signal. Remembering that in normal use (terminal) it sends interrupt, except for this one program (Firefox) where it copies would be pretty confusing and annoying.
Yes. I agree with you wholeheartedly, and that's exactly why I have to insist that the phenomena we're talking about is not an abstraction but something else.

You see, there is no such thing as a "good abstraction" or a "bad abstraction". In math, algebraic systems are either isomorphic or not. There is no qualitative quality to a fact. It is only in software, abstraction acquires this immeasurable quality of goodness, or leakyness, or even fashionability.

"Automation in disguise" is not a good term either. But I find it slightly less misleading and such as it brings less false promises in the connotations.
Aren't Chinese immigrants Americans? Do you discriminate amongst yourselves?
The reason I avoided O3DE is because its based on Amazon Lumberyard which itself was based on CryEngine which are notoriously rigid with the shipped tools. If you look at the development struggles even Amazon's own internal teams had using Lumberyard it doesn't really inspire confidence.

I think open sourcing it was the right decision though, and I hope it will only improve from here.
Yes. Point is, we shouldn't look at stereotypes in general through the lens of particular issue/cultural obsession that's very specific to the United States of America.
The headline immediately reminded me of the Juicero.

How can they advertise on-device if they’re immediately sending your data elsewhere?
The issue circles back to their needing to be transparent about how they did the work.

When it comes to intellectual property there are two methods of protecting it: either you can keep it a trade secret and only use it in house (the secret sauce approach) or you keep things out in the open and seek copyright or patent or trademark protection. You can't have it both ways and even more so with AI co-created artifacts. If they are transparent about all the steps involved and what the humans did then they can seek protection for the human created parts. This also allows others to then replicate these steps and to create similar artifacts.

It sounds like they and many other "AI" teams want patent protection without having to register for it. These teams are trying to write their own licenses to rights they do not have.
Other folks said what I wouldn’t. I probably shouldn’t have even said anything but mornings are hard.

I can write to my national member of parliament, but not to the EU MP, since they’re too far from citizen to care, and too close to corporations to reject a lobby’s proposal.

We’ve cornered Europe into a honey trap that will make us as badly governed as the US in a very short time. I’m constantly wondering where I should flee to.

> realistically you just have to let them in anyway

No, you don't. If they have a warrant then you need to let them in for the purposes specified in the warrant. Otherwise you're free to tell them to piss off. Unfortunately you're also free to acquiesce to any of their demands.

This kind of passive, default-compliant attitude from service providers, while understandable from a "path of least resistance" standpoint, is exactly the kind of behavior that allows the third party doctrine to circumvent so many of our basic rights. As a service provider, often the more difficult path is to challenge authority, rather than to cooperate with it. And unfortunately that means that most service providers will simply cooperate.
I have a prominent place on google under the term "the peace guy." I went out to LA in 2011, and just started holding my peace sign fingers in the air on Bruin Walk. You should see me in an image right next to the Bruin bear by going to https://www.google.com/search?q=the+peace+guy.

I've been in Florida since 2012, and I'm just starting to bring the ol' peace sign back now.

Funny story: I went to Silicon Valley in 2016, and was flying a sign about my project at the Googleplex when a group of fresh-faced Googlers approached me and asked if I was the peace guy from UCLA!

Back when I started doing it, Occupy Wall Street was just breaking out. Now it seems like us revolutionaries are going to need to Occupy Every Street...
Well, right, of course. My comment is more along the lines of "paying for an audit implies putting faith in those auditors to do a good enough job"
Fortunately, I haven't been bit by the ad-block ban yet. Is this the best way to circumvent it or did someone figure out a uBlock filter?
Right. Without an outright scholarship or wealthy background, how would you pay? I never bothered because I was an upper quartile student, not an outstanding one (I was distracted by the usual things). I needed in-state benefits and grants to afford college. This leads me to suspect there is no “academic middle class” at Harvard.

Ironically, I also suspect that despite that, the quality distribution of accepted candidates is roughly similar to most other universities too. Much of this personal suspicion stems from empirically utilizing online courses of theirs when I was in undergrad and observing students ask questions in recordings of course lectures. Of course they got into Harvard, but I was surprised how often many of them struck me as very normal in terms of ability to grasp material. I suppose the rest of it comes from some of the silly stuff I occasionally read in HBR. Heh.
Reminds me vaguely of the Apple II 'sprite' vector drawing which took a series of (byte-packed) bits interpreted as draw/move commands issued from a starting point.
Thank you! WTF, though? I've not done much work on federal FOIAs, though I'm a serial litigant under the Illinois FOIA.

It is crazy that the government can pay for something and yet the People do not own it.

Under Illinois FOIA, anything done under a contract to the State is FOIA-able as a record of the government body that ordered the work.
This estimate is also not taking into account carrier pass-thru fees, regulatory fees, phone number maintenance fees, etc. The idea that you can send 100K sms segments for a few hundred bucks just isn't true, even in the US. The pricing on these things gets way more complicated than what the marketing pages seem to indicate.

By way of example, my company is sending ~1.5M segments per month at a cost of a couple tens of thousands (I can't say exactly, obviously). This boils down to the fees that I mentioned, international examples that you gave, as well as the differences between SMS and MMS messaging where it's not always clear what counts as MMS (multi-byte encoding, anything with an attachment or URL, >N segments per message where N changes based on delivering carrier, etc.) It gets... Wonky.

How America wants to restrict encryption export or limit asml and other companies from doing business with like russia or China or IRan and then expect these same people not do the same if and when they get the chance.
If you think you are going to do an endrun around push notifications by just using SMS instead, you are going to run into a lot of user friction and technical challenges. Just figure out how to do push notifications.

SMS is so incredibly locked down and rate limited at this point you shouldn't reasonably expect to send much more than 1 SMS per user with an activation code if you want to do phone number verification.
I hope they can keep the same motherboard/platform for at least another generation.
Ask HN: Is is possible to allow ad downloads on YouTube but hide them?

Everyone needs to opt-in to use more secure methods and by default non-secure validation methods, which allow easy issuing fake certificates, are allowed. This is wrong.
Definitely 100% not true. Discoverability on twitch used to be who has the higher viewer count until they added sorting by “recommended” which is still lacking. Nowadays you still supplement your twitch growth with YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok.

Here’s a video to back up this point: https://youtu.be/0i9gkprYekI?si=pM_u9-Lt_fBQ3glk go to 32:00

Purely from a user perspective it’s even worse now that every stream gets an ad before you can watch any of the content.

And purely from a user perspective it’s even worse because you have to go by game category then scroll through however many pages of channels there are in the category you’re interested in.

They did just add stories as a feature which might help if it’s implemented correctly.
-Actually, I believe the Svalbard coal power plant was shut down earlier this week; the plant in question now runs diesel generators instead. While not very green, it is slightly better than burning coal.
they do. I worked in a callcenter in austria a few years ago to work on a few soft skills. They may make you sign one. no idea what happens if you don't sign, but nothing was ever enforced on me either if a goal wasn't met.
Everyone asks for it, but few actually look at it. And that's fine too, because not everyone has the same hobbies and "let me see your GitHub" is essentially screening for a hobby. I say this as someone with lots of GitHub stars and such.

If anything, "grinding leetcode" would be the closest analogy to Keju (although not exactly identical of course).

It may be worth considering that while Norway's 'motor fuel sales' went down supposedly their 'oil consumption' use per EIA has remained flat (and supposedly gone up recently) - see this chart by Nate Hagens in https://twitter.com/NJHagens/status/1669072120939159553 which is figure 2 in https://fictitiouscapital.substack.com/p/a-sticky-situation-... which says "But look at the interesting case study of Norway, where oil consumption has remained flat (it has one of the highest per capita oil consumption levels globally — 3x China & 10x India) despite EVs being 90%+ of new car sales and 98% electricity coming from hydropower."
My favorite part of this project is the pretty large battery of test cases. A lot of chip rtl releases don't bother with open sourcing the verification too, and that's arguably more useful than the rtl in the first place.

Does anyone actually believe that teams make better decisions than individuals?
Yea, exactly, I have been telling friends to think hard about buying a new ICE vehicle for this reason. Gas isn’t a utility like electric or water. Stations are all privately owned, as soon as it’s no longer profitable to operate, it’ll shut down. If you’re in a small town and it’s the only one, sorry, you now have to drive extra distance to get to the next one. The whole thing will collapse like a house of cards relatively soon and the bag holders will be people with ICE cars that they can only sell for scrap metal.

I guess if you have to, then leasing is the only reasonable way to go?

The table they pull that data from is annual and only has info through 2022[1]. It's not useful for saying anything about the year-over-year monthly number being discussed.

We used to use RSS but switched to kernel bypass instead which increased throughput 10x easily. I imagine we also have a much higher bandwidth requirement than what MMO's use (we can do 40Gbps). Every stream requires encryption and decryption (AES GCM ciphers) so there is a huge user space cpu processing involved too (openssl). That's where kernel bypass helped a lot because it offloaded all of that network I/O to 2 single cores (input/output) and left all the other cores available for use for user space processing of streams.

also worth mentioning, we wrote everything in c++. anything else is too slow.
I'm embarrassed that I'm confused enough (ignorance about how webpages and javascript modern things, etc work) to not answer this on my own, but does this mean:

1) Beware! any site you visit can, via javascript, inject whatever it wants into your clipboard (write access)

2) Beware! any site you visit can, via javascript, do whatever it wants with your clipboard (READ and write access) <-- this would freak me out and require immediate opsec change on my part

3) some combination of the above.

4) something different.

I use exclusively Firefox (as opposed to any browser) and haven't touched wayland. I also only type on keyboards with a trackpoint and a middle click button, and have for the past few decades. Hence, I'm sure I make heavy use of all the various methods of accessing clipboards..

(I'm guessing it's closer to #1 than #2, I think I once saw a crypto address in my clipboard unexpectedly on a VM...)
You’re restating their point, just with more words.
Now I understand why ML uses floats for precision. It wasn't a choice, it was because graphics code uses them.

Another piece in the "why is ML so inefficient" puzzle!

I wonder what that memory copying overhead is IRL. If it's like normal stuff it'll be brutal. I mean, they offload tcp processing into hardware to avoid that. This is way more data, though it is done in bigger chunks.
Perpetually slashing each other in turn. To keep that cache fresh? To “cut down” on cache size? To conquer cache daemons?

Silvopasture exists. We are becoming reacquainted with better farming practices. Homes, offices, and other kinds of buildings are built in forests all the time. Plenty of opportunities for recreation.

CO2 stored underground in the form of plants dying and rotting for the benefit and use of other plants is also "carbon capture".
None, which is why the 2nd Amendment is a joke at our own expense. The only people who fear the guns of Americans are women and children.

Even if I had material evidence that the house next door is a nest of Chinese spies, there is no cause, precedent or excuse for me to kick in the door and waste everyone inside. My doing so would instigate an international incident in their favor, and I would never see freedom again.

Guns pose no threat whatsoever to adversaries who treat human life as disposable, and who know our weapons can't be lawfully used against them on our own soil. It's literally win-win for them.
My argument is not assigning blame, but explaining why the article will not convince many managers. It works assuming either side can be greedy or fair.

> But if Flask forces every package

The reverse would be that every package that depends on flask forces it to make all future changes dependent on whether or not they break someones code. Which obviously isn't a sustainable model for software development.

> I would argue that is not very respectful of all those other package maintainers.

Define what is "respectful" then?

The flask team announces changes. They deprecate things. They use deprecation warnings. They use major versions correctly. They honor well established good practices in software development, to give package maintainers the opportunity to react to changes early.

Please, do explain: What else is required to meet whatever definition of "respectful" we are talking about here?
There is already enough land available for enough new native trees to capture more CO2 than is emitted into the atmosphere each year. This is before considering recovery of additional brownfield sites, becoming more efficient with industrial and agricultural land usage, and setting more land aside for planting additional trees.

With the full potential unlocked, we'd be able to plant so many trees that they'd capture 2x or more of the total CO2 emissions (total emissions, not just the airborne excess) which means we'd start capturing the past excess emissions as well.
