As a parent of two now adult special-needs kids: Most neurotypical people don't really care either and are frequently extremely abusive as a group to anyone different, a la Mean Girls.

The best thing I did to prevent my kids from turning into awful people was pulled them out of school so they could not be roundly abused by dozens of people daily and blamed for it because of "being weird."

Superficial empathy and actually being good and kind are not the same thing and plenty of people who can perform superficial empathy are horrible people who use their social skills abusively.
I think it's fair to say microservices increase the need for governance, whether manual or automated systems. When you start having more than 1 thing, you create the "how do I keep things consistent and what level of consistency do I want" problem
yes, work is in progress there.
I think marital conflict of this intensity arises in absence of ASD too.

And the usual caution goes when speaking about ASD, the individual differences are great. Even though many ASD find conforming antithetical to their will, there are also many high-maskers who make a sport of conforming. Many unwittingly as a survival instinct. Underneath, they're treading water.

From as much as I've witnessed, this is a feature (and common plaint) of many relationships.
Oh, that makes sense to me. If you're a smallish company, you're not the target market. Not just Oracle, but any big cloud vendor won't lift a finger for smaller contracts.

If you're a big company, your C suite will be inundated with slick advertising from Oracle, in airports, on MSNBC, in person via networking.

If you're a big company, their sales people will call you, and then they'll find some problems from the top down that Oracle can Supercharge for you.

Think of it like restaurants that don't show prices. If you're very price sensitive, you're not the target market. You don't want them and they don't want to haggle with you. It's not worth spending a lot of sales effort over a small contract

(But I find the AWS story pretty telling! Seems they developped immunity the hard way from a past encounter)
> This functionality seems most useful in the near future when we will be inundated with generative content. In that future, the ability to filter actual human content from the sea of AI blather, or to have specific spaces that are human-only, seems quite valuable.

But then why do you need any new laws at all? We already have laws against false advertising and breach of contract. If you want to declare that a space is exclusively human-generated content, what stops you from doing this under the existing laws?

> Consumer protection agencies have broad investigative powers. If corporations or organizations are spamming out generative content without attribution it doesn't seem particularly difficult to detect, prove, and sanction that.

Companies already do this with human foreign workers in countries with cheap labor. The domestic company would show an invoice from a foreign contractor that may even employ some number of human workers, even if the bulk of the content is machine-generated. In order to prove it you would need some way of distinguishing machine-generated content, which if you had it would make the law irrelevant.

> This kind of regulatory regime that falls more heavily on large (and financially resourceful) actors seems far preferable to the "register and thoroughly test advanced models" (aka regulatory capture) approach that is currently being rolled out.

Doing nothing can be better than doing either of two things that are both worse than nothing.
The RFC https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2369.txt Section 3.2 is not specific on this - but the examples only show the To address, and no unique identifier beyond that, so it might not work out well for you for mailto list-unsubscribes. It also prefers mailto over https.

If we build this as a mandatory feature at MailPace, we'll use an HTTPS webhook with a unique identifier for the email, so if you unsubscribe from a list sent via us, it will work for you.
Unfortunately for us, the Privacy team at our org has determined that a one-click unsubscribe link in the body of the email is unacceptable (passing an identifier into the URL of the link). So we accept either the client unsubscribe link, or users who click the unsubscribe link in the email have to provide their email address on the unsubscribe page.
I’ve always thought the monolith vs. micro service debate to miss the point.

Taking an RPC call has costs. But sometimes you need to. Maybe the computation doesn’t fit on any of your SKUs, maybe it is best done by a combination of different SKUs, maybe you need to be able to retry if an instance goes down. There are countless reasons that justify taking the overhead of an RPC.

So, do you have any of those reasons? If yes, take the RPC overhead in both compute and version management and stuff.

If no, don’t.

Why is this so contentious?

No they're not; that's what local media does, with varying levels of quality. They are no more informing people about it than Nikocado is promoting healthy eating.
> Such a law can't be written in a way that complies with First Amendment protections and the vagueness doctrine.

I disagree. What is vague about "generative content must be disclosed"?

What are the first amendment issues? Attribution clearly can be required for some forms of speech, it's why every political ad on TV carries an attribution blurb.

> It's a silly thing to want anyway. What matters is whether the content is legal or not; the tool used is irrelevant.

Again, I disagree. The line between tools and actors will only blur further in the future without action.

> Centuries ago some authoritarians raised similar concerns over printing presses.

I'm pretty clearly not advocating for a "smash the presses" approach here.

> And copyright is an entirely separate issue.

It is related, and a model worth considering as it arose out of the last technical breakthrough in this area (the printing press, mass copying of the written word).
If that was possible, they would've done it already.
That’s true. Even when AI learns to not put torso-less legs, the wonder will be gone.

Prior to AI, you’d stare at an image like this and I believe most of the magic was marveling at the cleverness & craft of the person who painstakingly created the illusion. That you could think, “wow I’d never have the patience, talent, or dedication to make something like that.”
We can perhaps look at current trends and extrapolate. Currently at less then 1.5° C and we are seeing a lot of failed policies both regarding minimizing further warming, and dealing with the current damage.

We are seeing many people dying in various climate related disasters (by some estimate covid level numbers and growing).

We are seeing crop failures, a mass extinction event, we are seeing pests becoming more severe, both in the natural world (see the giant Sequoias in Yosamite) as well as in our crops. This will get worse. Note, we will probably have enough food, but just like now, it will not be evenly distributed. Expect famines in the future. Currently things are not so bad.

We are seeing a lot of people fleeing their homes, and we are not seeing anybody accepting them as refugees. As the climate warms further, one can expect either our refugee policy changes and we open our borders (unlikely) or we can expect wars to break out as migration crises become severe (likely).

As the global hunger increases, as global wealth distribution gets worse, and as the global poor are at serious risk of dying from climate disasters, famin, etc. As tension grows on our borders, and as our governments become increasingly hostile towards refugees, then I honestly don’t see how our democratic world can survive.

Of course our governments can make the right choice and open our borders, then it will be a different world, that still sucks from all our climate related disasters, but at least it might survive. The other option is a increasingly facistical world. Which in my book is definitely civilization crushing.

> "Definition" - "Theorem" - "Corollary" structure looks like a silver bullet, it fits very well in a linear format of a book. Unfortunately, this format is totally inadequate when it comes to passing knowledge.

I really can't emphasize enough that this is exactly how I learn things. I don't claim to be a majority! But saying that no one can learn from that sort of in-order definition-first method is like saying no one can do productive work before 6am. It sucks that morning people control the world, but its hardly a human universal to sleep in.

> Some other form of presentation must be found to make it easier to encode the knowledge. Not sure what this form might be. Maybe some annotated book format will do, not sure. It should be a result of a collective effort IMO.

I 100% agree. Have you seen the napkin project? I don't love the exposition on everything, but it builds up ideas pretty nicely, showing uses and motivation mixed in with the definitions. I've been trying to write some resources of my own intended for interested laymen, so more focus on motivation and examples and less on proofs and such. I like the challenge of trying to cut to the core of why we define things a certain way- though I'm biased towards "because it makes the formal logic nice" as an explanation.

After reading the article, it looks to me like giving access to this data is not what's new, it's that the contractual terms of the existing agreement have changed. That is, it seems like 23AndMe already gives access of some form to pharmaceutical research companies.

Two questions I had:

* I'm vaguely familiar with the challenges of anonymizing omics data, and I'm wondering how they expect to make someone's entire genetic profile sufficiently anonymous or deidentified. All I've seen from them is one of their example reports, and you could take the name off one of those, and it seems like it would still be pretty easy to reidentify the subject just from that high level report, let alone from the raw data.

* When they say these are users who have opted in to data sharing, I wonder what form that actually takes. Is this one of those things where everybody who uses 23AndMe is opting in? Did these 14 million users all actually provide informed, active consent? I assume that to maximize the value of that data, 23AndMe is incentivized to interpret consent as broadly (and vaguely) as possible.
“Seems” is subjective, and its very easy for people to disagree with what one person thinks something “seems” like.

And that, as they say, baffles people.

To add to your question, I would like to ask: Why is child labour the only alternative to extreme poverty and starvation in a world where we have excess calories?
Some of the best ladder climbers I've seen are amazing at pitching projects. They get the business case done, fully funded, themselves promoted to run it - and then immediately leverage the new title into a job somewhere else.

I've been on the receiving end of one of those projects and once you dive in without the person who pitched it, you see how hollow and nonsensical it really is. But by then its too late. The consultants who wrote it are all paid and the executives who attached their names to it as sponsors keep it limping along for years, draining everyone's will to live.

The other guy meanwhile is doing the same thing again at a bigger company having a great time.
BoldVoice looks cool, are you planning other languages? Personally I'm learning Mandarin.
Lost me two paragraphs in, due to gross inaccuracy:

> Intel 8088 : 8/16-bit microprocessor — 8-bit registers with a 16-bit data bus.

Uhh...8088 is 16-bit CPU. Its external bus is 8-bits wide to save on pins...

It does not get better further in:

> 20-bit memory addressing range — supports 640kB of RAM.

It supports 1MB of addressable space, which the system integrator may allocate as they desire. 640kB is something that PCs did, but apple was in no way tied to..
Yes, you sort [and rank] them by the values you get from that equation.
>Apple devices aren't engineered to last; they're engineered to be manufactured, sell new, and sometimes sell expensive repairs by them.

I guess you should say include "Modern" Apple Mac. Macbook Post 2015 are pretty bad compare to older MacBook. Those who are EE or interested in Hardware should watch a few of Louis Rossmann video.

But then because the rest of the industry are so poor in reliability they still get to say they are once of the most reliable notebook. May be apart from Lenovo.
Thank you for your work at PortableApps. Windows isn’t my daily OS but when I get my hands on it from time to time, the apps you pack are what keep me sane.
I find that the videos aren't usually from "creators" but academic lectures, interviews, that sort of thing. Maybe it depends on the kinds of words you look up, though.
[Changing my original comment, since I've been informed that snark is not cool on HN. My mistake.]

It's observably true that many high-profile founders and execs, especially in the US, come from well-off families.

What's the lesson to draw from this? IMHO even if "my parents never gave ME a cent" is true (as it is for me, btw), how do I help myself by dwelling on that?

We could increase taxes to provide better education and social services and increase opportunity for all (a la Finland), but is that a popular sentiment in the tech community?

I don't see buying all of open source and AI a good thing. What it did to OpenAI definitely isn't a good thing. For open source my prediction is good old EEE.

And even if those were positive, I'm still forced to use Outlook and Office and OneDrive and occasionally even Windows because they have so profoundly corrupted how computers are used.

Also, nothing on that page was factually incorrect, so we come back around to the original point: Immigrants were brought up, you hate foreigners, and you got mad that they were included at all.

I'm not aware of actual union-founded companies so the notion is fascinating to me. As far as unions not taking on business risk, I'd have to imagine that most unions aren't going to ask for the moon to the extent of bankrupting the business. And there are some examples where unions have the foresight to demand the company make smart market moves:

Audi's unions demand electric model for main German plant (2017)

In the tech space, one could imagine a coders' union demanding management to take technical limitations or issues more seriously. How many times have you worked somewhere where product, or simply upper management, has overruled software concerns?

It saddens me that a browser consumes one and a half CPU cores to render a measly ~300x60 characters at 30 fps. Manipulating even just text in the DOM has so much overhead... That's on Linux with the latest stable Chrome on hardware less than 2 years old.

Nonetheless, cool animation.
Why are you so unwilling to accept the extensively documented phenomenon of an autistic person being more intelligent than average?

Some autistic people are genuinely ahead of the curve. Some individuals develop extreme talent/intelligence in certain areas. There is no question of whether this happens or not, it's a demonstrable fact.

Your quote illustrates something that self-aware and reasonable people do: recognize their limitations and yield to someone with more expertise.

If you think that's somehow a bad thing, you should have a really long think about what that says about you.

There is no guarantee the sun can provide as much energy as we're consuming on an ongoing basis. That's because oil and other minerals built up over hundreds of millions of years. We're on track to consume all that's within reach in a few centuries.
Or you could just use a CRDT.

You don't need PAXOS, RAFT, or CURP to implement a key-value store. Those are distributed state machines, all you need is distributed state.

PAXOS was the only game in town for many decades, but there are better ways to do this now.

How willing are you to start from scratch? Pack up your configs in a git repo and nuke your installation. When I run into intractable configuration issues, I typically start from scratch to see if I can get them to work. You might try doing it from scratch on your workstation in a VM/container to see if the issue crops up there as well.
A question I have is why did you have more kids in-spite of this? How did you justify the struggle, or rather did you have no choice but to justify the struggle? Would you have preferred in retrospect to have less children, if had to be really honest with yourself? Or do you think you made the right decision?
