> "illegally discriminating based on seeing the border"

The problem is closer to: "the presence of pictures on CVs is detrimental to someone due to outside bias", "the presence of borders on maps is detrimental to Yandex due to outside bias". Not quite the same mechanism, but similar in spirit.

> they are as concerned with navigation as anything else

All maps are concerned with an area, some with navigation. A map of the Moon is still interesting to some non-astronauts.

I concede, if you use a map for navigation, a concept of a national border is still relevant. But in other cases, given the variety of possible geographical data, it rarely is.
So on firefox with normal protections I get a blank page in reply to a phind query for whatever reason. On chrome phind does seem to get some interesting answers (and is a bit cheaper than GPT to begin with for sure ;-) )
Apple develops its own OS.
Apple develops its own development stack, frameworks, etc.
Apple develops its own CPU/GPU architecture.
Apple develops its own battery architecture.
Apple develops its own tooling to manufacture a lot of their products.
Apple develops its own tooling to dispose off their products.

There are very few companies that have as much first party Tech in their products from start to finish.

I think Apple under prioritizes sdvanced functionality but if they’re not a Tech company than it’s hard to see what is.
I am not an art specialist. I studied art, but my field was film, not painting. My mother is a painter so maybe that counts who knows.

I did not say anything about his role in society and whether it is okay to like him or not. It is. It was also great for Bob Ross for example to do what he did in communicating art: His paintings are not stellar examples of landscape painting, but he managed to inspire many people to go for the journey and that is worth a lot.

Subjectively, to me as someone who has a closer background to arts than most I find it lacks something — and that something might make all the difference between lasting love or forgetting him in a few years time. Other people might have differing opinions.

Think of any field you know something of. E.g. if you are in tech there might be some celebrity non-tech people see as a tech genius. But you know they are mediocre at best. That doesn't takw away from their ability to reach people, but it is not the same as being stellar in their field.
I think a lot of content creators really want AV1 because of the drastic reduction of file sizes. Streaming companies want it to catch on because of the drastic reduction in bandwidth use.

ChatGPT 4 does not take 50 seconds to answer, so I don't understand this comparison.

It's weird to strip the kids of any agency or consideration, but you've phrased it well. People are making a choice for their kids -- parents don't own their kids, they have something akin to justified paternalism over them. Society should care whether parents are providing a base level of education and opportunity to these kids. It's pretty apparent from the discussion here who grew up around e.g. fundamentalist Mormons or Baptists where homeschool kids were often abused as a matter of 'doctrine' and those whose experience with homeschool kids is more like the Bay Area version of precocious children learning in nature.
Here’s the ultimate authority on why computer languages should count from zero:

So grown ups in a country where children aren't allowed to be home schooled generally believe that their children "belong to society"?

At what point do we call it culture and "difference of opinion" as opposed to just plain old indoctrination or brainwashing?

It's not a left vs right issue, this is freedom vs tyranny. Right now the left isn't able see it as Tyranny or indoctrination because their predominant opinions and values are being taught to children, so it's convenient. It's another form of "civilizing those barbarian <insert unfavorable group here>".

At the end of the day, I don't belong to society, and neither do my children. They belong to themselves and can choose for themselves how they see fit. Until then, I'll instill my values to them, and make sure they treat their fellow beings better than the way "society" treats them.
> A release is a release, regardless of the frequency. Quality control or lack thereof is an orthogonal issue.

I'm not sure it's possible to separate quality from release schedule, when comparing to the old ways.

Back in the distant, ancient past, software had to reach a level of quality where it could be released by writing it to disks (or CDs, or engraving it into stone tablets) then sending it to stores, no patches possible.

Meaning there was Office 95 and it'd better be stable and reliable because the next release will be Office 97. Which will be a paid upgrade, so it'd better have enough new features that users are willing to pay.

This meant that there was no such thing as a bug or performance issue that could be dismissed with "we'll do it later" - it either got fixed before the release, or never. Modern software development techniques have eliminated any such deadlines.

And because in the past a company could be completely wiped out by a bad release, there were dedicated testing teams and suchlike, as by the time users started reporting bugs and complaining, it was too late. Good luck finding such a team these days!

I really liked Firefox OS, was an early adopter using one of the ZTE Phones, tried my best to acquire an Fx0 while I was in Japan but they wouldn't sell me one without a phone contract, I also crowdfunded the matchstick that never came to be.

I'm not sure what KaiOS is doing with it now, they're not very transparent.

> This is the same mistaken thinking you see from people who oppose minimum wage increases. The McDonalds down the street isn't going to cut staff because the wages went up, they need those staff to serve customers.

Shenanigans. You've never worked in retail. Even if you come back claiming otherwise, I'm still going to accuse you of lying about it because you could only be more out of touch with reality if you claimed to be the ghost of Sam Walton himself.

"Necessary" staff does gets cut and the remaining employees are expected to pick up the slack. The alternative course is shaving hours off of the schedule for all employees. Sometimes they go both routes.

One way or another, the retailer will not bear that cost of increased wages. It gets suffered first by employees through reduced hours, then by customers in a degraded service experience.

You offer economic theory. I'm telling you from bitter experience what actually happens.

This is an insightful way of framing things. It had not occurred to me to look at it this way. It describes my own issues with school growing up and my own interest in homeschooling — the chance to provide individualized instruction and to tap into play and creativity. Schools can provide a baseline but for bright, motivated students they can be like a straightjacket. It's interesting and I suppose logical that the arguments against homeschooling focus on the idea that the practice dangerously removes that baseline. (I don't find those arguments particularly convincing because I had troubled peers who I went to public school with, and the school system helped precisely none of them substantially improve their lives.)
Switching display tech is a massive ordeal for Apple.

When revenues go up (for any reason), companies cut costs. Why have 2 people when 1 will have to work harder?

Your argument is completely wrong, yet you start by berating the other poster. Companies will always cut costs and try to whip their employees as much as they can, regardless of if they're making a profit or a loss. That is business.

I am glad to see that they finally moved the project to PCB, but, man, is breadboard ever a terrible platform for microprocessor development.

Doesn't anybody do wirewrap anymore? I, too, struggled with bad connections and crosstalk in my breadboard projects in my first and second year at university, and then I discovered wirewrap, and never looked back.

Apart from having to think in reverse, wirewrap is almost as easy as breadboarding (arguably easier when things get crowded), and it is robust enough to be used for production projects.
I can't edit my original comment anymore, but I was wrong. It's not government mandated, just regulated in the sense that there's an income tax break for any travel compensation up to 21ct per km. Most unionized (CAO) employers follow this exactly, and even non-union employers like my own follow this as far as I know.

Fun thing is that it's the same amount regardless of the mode of travel, so if you take your bike to work it's an extra $4/hr tax free income ;)
No OP but I think there’s three parts to really getting TCP/IP:

I introduced the word rent, but I'm realizing my issue with domains as identity is that they're more analogous in my mind to property than identity.

My name and identity are mine even if I don't pay taxes. Identities aren't fully immutable but certainly not transactionally transferable. PGP, for all its flaws, is much closer to the concept of provable identity, imo.

I do understand your underlying message which is to function independently on the web you absolutely need a name you can rely on. We agree there, I just don't think the system or things that support it match the underlying needs/wants.
I wonder whether WireGuard's operation at the packet layer makes this easier. Probably.
Come on now, you don't lack that much imagination do you?

Already we're programming these things into robots that are gaining dexterity and ability to move in the world. Hooking them up to mills and machines that produce things. Integrating them into weapons of war, etc.

Next, the current LLMs are just software applications that can run on any compatible machine. Note that any just does not include your, but every compatible machine.

The last failure of imagination when considering risk is form factor. You have 2 pounds of mush between your ears that probably 80% of is dedicated to keeping itself alive and this runs on 20 or so watts. What is the minimum size and power form factor capable of emulating something on the scale of human intelligence? In your mind this seems to be something the size of an ENIAC room. For me this is something the size and power factor of a cellphone in some future date. Could you imagine turning off all cellphones? Would you even know where they are?
We find that it takes around a minute for a 1024-token answer. Answers to less complex questions will take less time, but Phind will still be 5x faster.
I tried this, but I still have yet to get any LLM to answer me a programming question (that actually works) that I actually want to solve.

Basically:

"How can I send network control commands to an AppleTV in C#"

They always make up some nonexistent library or gives an example using some nonexistent API.
I agree with you completely. I enjoy it more when I know how it's done but don't notice it myself. Kind of like woodworking where someone patches a hole in the wood and you don't notice it, but they point it out anyway. With all that information, you can say "wow, I still don't even see it really" which is more impressive than just not noticing at first glance. The extra information proves how good the illusion actually is. (Penn & Teller obviously based their career around this stuff. I imagine many of the HN types also like Penn & Teller a lot as a result.)

I am pretty sure it's mostly "I don't want someone else to steal this." Generally, I'm pretty unconcerned about telling people unimplemented ideas. If they want to rearrange their life to "steal" my idea, good for them. But they probably won't be able to execute it as well, so it's not really a concern I have. But, magic is tough... you want to have new material for your acts, and if someone beats you to the punch, you don't get paid. So I see why magicians are paranoid. But if we get a new generation of Penns and Tellers, I'd personally be happy.

Hey there! I wrote the node sdk for this, you can use the node-sdk to to execute wasm-based rules on your data and interact with the data in real time. With the wasm rules you can do things like detect and mask PII, etc. The node-sdk is here: https://github.com/streamdal/node-sdk. There are some minimal examples of these pipelines in the readme and examples/sandbox directories.
You literally can tell ChatGPT to create a CDK typescript app that deploys a lambda + API Gateway where the lambda works with Get request and a dynamodb table. The lambda should have permission to read and write to the Table and it will get you 95% there.

Edit: I just did it with ChatGPT 4 expecting it to just create the CDK app. It actually created inline Node sample code as part of the construct for the actual lambda to read from the database.

The last time I did that as a sample to show other developers I still had a little additional prompting to do
People talk about homeschooling as if it's one single concept, but it's actually a whole bunch of very dissimilar things.

There are people who homeschool because they don't agree with the government's viewpoints, people who homeschool because the public school system has failed their kids, people who homeschool because it just happens to fit their lifestyle. Those are all very different motivations.

Likewise, there are people who "unschool," people who use very formal curricula, people who make use of co-ops and traditional classroom settings, people who use a lot of remote learning, people who value social interactions and have their kids involved in lots of activities with other kids, and people who are more focused on academic achievement. These are all very different methods of education.

Beyond that, there are parents who are well equipped to homeschool and parents who are not. And there is a small but hard-to-ignore percentage who claim to homeschool but really neglect their kids.

Treating all these scenarios as a single thing that you can hold a single, consistent opinion about suggests to me a lack of familiarity with its wide spectrums along multiple dimensions. It's like passing a judgment on a person based on their race, country of origin, gender, etc.

Disclaimer: Our family homeschools. Both my wife (previously a public- and private-school teacher) and I were biased against it prior to having kids, but we came to find that a lot of our biases and concerns were unfounded.

So if I brought African food to work with me, and ate it during lunch with my co-workers, that would be cultural appropriation?

> Furthermore, for many cultures, the clothing that most recognizably signals membership is related to some form of cultural or religious ritual, and wearing it outside of that context can be very disrespectful

Fair enough; it would be wrong for me to wear a soldier's uniform if I've never served in the army.

Still, I can't help but feel that complaining about cultural appropriation is just a way to maintain USA's cultural dominance. The message seems to be: It's fine for Americans to spread their culture, but it's wrong for other countries to do the same.
hard agree.

Can you imagine someone stating the implication with a straight face?

> Firefox is definitely on par with Chrome these days,

The GP is likely going to be triggered by those words, because... I've seen this repeated every X months/years... "Oh... yeah, you had problems in the past, but it's so much better now"... and... it rarely is. GP will just need to try out again at their own schedule and make their own determination.

I had this standard issue with desktop/laptop linux for years... "xyx doesn't work well"... "Oh yeah, it's so much better now - no problems now". Try the new recommendation - still broken.

I had a f2f with someone at a local meetup, and we got in to "xyz is subpar/broken on linux" (some gnome thing possibly). This happened to be a linux user group, and someone challenged me with "no, you're wrong, it's fine now". So... I pulled out the laptop and fired it up and showed the irritation/bug. The response - after showing that what I was saying was a bug - was a shrug and "Oh, I don't care about that - doesn't affect me". The verbal equivalent of "WONTFIX". In person.

tldr: telling people who've been burned - often for years - that things are "better now" is generally not all the productive. Most of the time, people who have specific/legit issues will figure out if/when they're fixed or tolerable enough.

Now think about how you get funds into that wallet: if your shiny new account has a transaction chain tracing back to a banned address, legitimate merchants aren’t going to accept transactions from you and you’re going to be selling a discount.

If you use a mixer, that expands to cover all of your transactions. Any legitimate business has to worry about complying with local laws and they’re going to stop using options which don’t allow that or cost too much.

Re: "We're excited to announce" - when did this get deployed? I was on Phind Pro ... a month ago or something, and curious if i already experienced this or not.

Phind was really good, but still had a difficult time with library versions. Notably a lot of the search results it saw felt like they polluted it with incorrect assumptions about available methods on specific library versions. The web results felt like it made the LLM worse at some things. In the end i switched back to ChatGPT. Though i expect i'll retry Phind at some point, i do tend to ping pong on each respective release.

Does this version tackle that any better in your eyes?
Fully agree, this is the primary benefit.
You get back ports, but those base model M3 MBPs only support a single external display. You get HDMI and 3 40gbps thunderbolt ports, but can only use one of them at a time for screens.
You need to bump up to the M3 pro models to get multiple external display support.

Re: Outsourcing,

This is a destructive hostage-taking tactic. Businesses can outsource any time they want, to any extent they want, in response to any behaviors they want to dissuade in the employees that are in the places they normally hire from - not just to punish WFH. WFH just happens to have parallels with outsourcing that make it "look" like a gotcha. Of course in reality, the fact alone that businesses will treat people like this is not justification for the acceptance of that treatment. Taking advantage of the various deltas between different economies/cultures, which the people in those places have no control over, for the sake of profit, is simply immoral. Any immorality that is inevitable by the basic laws of business (barring regulation) is still immorality. Businesses often trick normal people into thinking that if they don't engage in all of the exact same shrewd practices that other businesses do, that they will go under. In reality, it's not that simple, and businesses should (and hopefully will, in the future) be held viciously accountable for their immorality.
