> depends on how much developers are willing to […] getting locked onto their platform.

I mean.. the lock in risks have been known with every new technology since forever now, and not just the risk but the actual costs are very real. People still buy HP printers with InkDRM and companies willingly write petabytes of data into AWS that they can’t even afford to egress at current prices.

To be clear, I despise this business practice more than most, but those of us who care are screaming into the void. People are surprisingly eager to walk into a leaking boat, as long as thousands of others are as well.

I owe my career to the incompetence and greed of Arianespace. For my master's thesis I reverse engineered launcher ascent simulations for ESA because Arianespace was unwilling or unable to answer basic questions such as "how much payload can rocket X transport to orbit Y which is not GTO" without charging an obscene amount of money and needing months of lead time.
A few years later at one of the Lunar X-Prize startups, my team and I sat together with Arianespace's mission analysts and we had to explain to them why you cannot have a 24-hour launch window when you want to fly to the Moon. The bloody thing moves!

After SpaceX published the video from the first successful grasshopper flight it was clear to me and basically everyone else I talked to in the industry that an expendable Ariane 6 was DOA. But the pork must flow...

The corruption, nepotism, and incompetence runs deep in the European space industry. ESA is an organization where people get passed over for promotion because they are "too technical" or don't belong to the right old boy network.

Geo return (the geographic return rule) excacerbates all these problems by creating quasi-monopolies. As an example, the market leader for astrodynamics software in Europe is at the top because their national delegation heavily invests in programs that benefit them and not much else. Thus, they "need" to win a lot of contracts to balance the scales and make a luxurious living by repackaging the same old Fortran77 garbage over and over again.

The AGPL is not the issue. The CLA is. It allows the project to change licenses at will, without going back to all contributors and asking for approval.
With the previous licensing, yes. The change to AGPL would have ended the ability to make proprietary forks, but that ability was preserved by the CLA instead.

This means that the only effective result of switching to the AGPL is that Element can demand money from anyone who makes a proprietary fork. Basically, the AGPL has been backdoored for profit.

Embedding is poor man's context length increase. It essentially increases your context length but with loss.

There is a cost argument to make still, embedding-based approach will be cheaper and faster, but worse result than full text.

That being said, I don't see how those embedding startups compete with OpenAI, no one will be able to offer better embedding than OpenAI itself. It is hardly a convincing business.

The elephant in the room is the open source models aren't able to match up to OpenAI models, and it is qualitative, not quantitive.

Right now, at least in my field there are some companies listing very wide ranges, say $75k-$270k, however, most are not so there is value in knowing that the max a company is offering for a role is say, $160k upfront vs. going through a bunch of interviews and negotiations just to learn that's the ceiling and then turning it down. If more and more companies provide huge ranges then this won't be useful except as another commenter said that you can favor jobs with realistic ranges that actually bracket your desired comp.
When driving a car with ABS, all-out braking is the best option. You'll get the quickest, safest stop.

That same strategy doesn't work as well on a motorcycle equipped with ABS as you still need to preload the front tire before applying full braking power. As the video shows, this minimizes your stopping distance. Like a car, once you're fully on the brake then stay on it - the ABS system will take care to prevent wheel lockup and skid.
But that only helps if you plug it into something. Better would be a visual indicator that can be used when the cable is just lying around unplugged.
I found a weird situation kind of like this during covid. A friend of a friend died and loads of videos popped up on YouTube announcing the death, blaming the covid vaccine. The really weird thing to me was that they weren’t automated, they were made by people with Indian accents narrating them. The death occurred in small city NZ which made these videos even more bizarre. I guess it was just someone paying to pushing their antivax agenda, it was just bizarre.

If anything allowing the nazi to interact with other people that grow tomatoes might help him grow out of his nonsense.

The methods used are

// pull page from google cache

//spoof twitter referer

//spoof google bot ua

//spoof google bot datacenter ip (in x-forwarded-for header)

//disable cookies

All this, and more, can be done in haproxy. Smaller, faster than golang. Nice to know that Google cache works for www.ft.com. Another method that worked, e.g., for www.wsj.com, for years was using AMP URL. But WSJ has recently ditched AMP. As a poor substitute I have been using WSJ URLs from podcasts. The advantage of using haproxy versus golang is there's no need to edit and recompile the program when one wants to add a new method. It's possible to set it up so that one only has to add a line to the config file, or add a hostname to a map file. Even more, haproxy lets one reload the configuration without restarting the server.
Yeah I still see a chat bot being able to look for related information in a database as useful. But I see it as just one of many tools a good chat experience will require. 128k context means for me there other applications to explore and larger tasks to accomplish with fewer api requests. Better chat history and context not getting lost

"The week number for the 6502 is important because apparently 6502s made up to week 26 had faults!"

I thought only the first revision 6502's (1975, in a white ceramic package) had the ROR bug, or are these faults something other than ROR?

In a video from early this year, Eric Schlaepfer claims the ROR behavior in the early 6502's isn't actually a bug, the instruction was consciously left out. I found the explanation interesting:

Does anyone else feel a little weirded out by the "productization" of developer tools lately? I feel like I'm watching an ad. Maybe I'm just lame, but the "fresh product launch" energy just feels off for something as technical as a framework/documentation site. It's not like it really affects anything, all the info is there, the energy is just turned up to 11 when it warrants maybe a 3.

The site's content seem better though, works great for me. The hype branding will thankfully be temporary I assume.
> “I think many of them are kind of patient and prepared to hold out for those candidates prepared to sort of suck it up and accept what they’re giving,” she added.

Certainly. A person gets released without much warning and needs income. Quickly. They'll suck it up *temporarily*.

But how long will they stay? How long before they look for the situation they actually want? Probably not long. And now the employer (and team) is back looking for talent.

Moral of the story: Companies that favor bottom-fishing to save in the immediate are likely risking more over the probably not so long term.

It's perfectly realistic to want more than 1,000 sqft to raise a family because we live in a country where all previous living generations were able to do that for far less than $100k.

It's not the absolute quality of life that's infuriating. It's seeing how previous generations plundered the country and then pulled up the drawbridge behind them.
Yea, it's like they don't know what ITAR is. If you tried to walk away with the technology men with guns would take it back, you would come back too, dead if you decided to put up resistance.
> Someone who just happens to be a smooth talker shouldn't be earning more than someone else. If they actually bring more to the table, that is why they should earn more.

I love this mindset, in my experience it's a hard problem to solve.

Smooth talkers tend to fall into a few different categories that give them a leg up in negotiations - being part of a majority (usually straight male in engineering) or narcissists. (And yes, I'm oversimplifying things here just to get my point across.)

Everyone else? Some will be able to advocate for themselves, but others (especially under-represented groups) can easily downplay their worth. I've seen multiple times when women especially are trying to please the hiring manager/company and 'be flexible' in what they take. Other times it's from people outside of the U.S. where cultural expectations are different. To fix this we need people to have enough self-worth/self-esteem/trust to push on what they are worth and/or the company needs to act as an advocate on behalf of the employee. I've seen both be pretty tricky to figure out over the years.

This is such a strange thing to say. I'd be curious if you feel the same way about cleaning up your code, or cleaning up your room. I think you have an unfair advantage in this argument because it's difficult to defend such intangible benefits. We have to resort to making up logical explanations, or sounding unhinged or emotional as you suggest.

But it's simply intangible. My instinct tells me that it's helpful and that's okay. I don't owe anyone a justification for how I organize things, and there's nothing controversial about this. (Or maybe I could even come up with a logical example of a benefit, but that's a trap I'm not going to fall into) And a lot of people agree, and they know what I mean, so it's not merely an individual preference. If I have to work with someone who has strong preference against it I'll worry at that point about negotiating.
You may believe that, but there has to be a means to that end (preferably one that doesn't require the oppression of others).

Shelter has to be built on a property and maintained indefinitely, food has to be painstakingly extracted from the land, etc. People have to do that, because there is no extant alternative.

Ignoring land ownership for now, are the maintainers and farmers not to be compensated? That would be actual slavery.

Remember when we were all about global free trade and supply side economics and consumer surpluses? I guess it's no fun when someone else does it to us. Sarcasm aside, I think we are now realizing that talking about supply side without considering the demand side (i.e. workers who can afford even these abundant goods) is going to be very detrimental in the long run.
Wouldn't argue it's a "superstar" position, but this is exactly what happened for me. I applied to a role where the range was too low but I figured I could negotiate it up, they told me they couldn't for that role, but that they had something else in mind that would work.

This is also a plus of people listing ranges: You know when you can have a realistic shot of overshooting it. Asking for 20% above the top if your experience is valuable is not unreasonable.

I've gone over the top of the top listed range several times over my career.

(A bonus of trying for that, incidentally, is that you often stand out relative to other candidates and talking up salary and convincing people it's worth upping the seniority with you as only one of few candidates that experienced can work out well - aiming for a "I didn't realize we could get someone this experienced for only a little bit more" effect...)

I am by no means an expert on US anti-trust law but the first sentence of the Wikipedia page[0] on the topic says

> In the United States, antitrust law is a collection of mostly federal laws that regulate the conduct and organization of businesses to promote competition and prevent unjustified monopolies.

The first paragraph finishes with

> Section 2 of the Sherman Act prohibits monopolization.

And in fact the word "monopoly" (or its derivatives) appear 76 times, so it seems to be at least an important component of the law.

"That" = "it would still be the same exact world (as was before we learned about it)".

World-State: 1

World-Event: at least one human becomes open to the possibility that we may all have such disorders on a species-wide level, that there may be things none of us allow ourselves to perceive. (And once an idea exists in one person's mind, they may act upon it at some point in the future.)

World-State: 2

Are the two states identical? I would think not.

> What I meant is, even if we all learn that everybody in the world has "such disorders" and that "there are things none of us allow ourselves to perceive", what would the objective change be to make this "teriffying"?

To me, it can be "terrifying" to see risk that others cannot or, or refuse to try to see.

Scientists and "scientific thinkers" often express fear of the quantity of "deniers" that don't agree with their risk assessments, and get even more terrified when the "deniers" refuse to listen to reason.

Similarly, people like me feel similarly when it is the scientists who behave the same.

> "There are things that you don't know, and that you as a species can't even perceive" is at best amusing.

This is a consequence of the epistemic norms (lazy, colloquial, bad, etc) of the culture you grew up in: under strict epistemology (philosophical epistemology vs scientific epistemology), risk exists regardless of your personal opinion on it.

Of course, this "is" "pedantic", so no expectation for you to take it seriously...though if my memory serves you are usually the one going against the grain here on HN, so perhaps there's a chance. :)
I'm highly suspect. For Spanish, I've always heard piñas rather than ananás...
As for Spain, the only case I've heard of is a rapper that glorified terrorism and rapped that he wanted to hang the king in the village square. Is it okay to rap that you want to murder specific individuals, or does that cross the limit of freedom of speech? Is it criticism of the monarchy when you rap that you want to put a noose around the king's neck? To me it sounds like incitement of violence and nothing more, nothing less.

In some other countries it is forbidden to make music that glorifies crime, while at the same time those countries have excellent liberty of speech as well as musical lyrics that are extremely offensive by other standards.

> how is it possible for a single dev team to totally reimplement it without unknowingly introducing at least a bug or two?

As someone with over three decades of C programming experience (so not as much as you), maintaining widely used stuff written in C for decades, that has recently switched from C and C++ as main languages for systems programming to Rust, I'd instead ask this: How is it possible, even given 43 years of working the problem, to create a program in C that does what it's supposed to, and only what it's supposed to?

But also, one of the answers from the article is "Leaving out less commonly used features so as to reduce attack surface". Most security bugs in sudo are in features I don't use.

Rust isn't just memory safe. It's also orders of magnitude harder to accidentally make other mistakes, such as race conditions.
They're attacking the Swedish model, doing things that no one had done for a century. It's not illegal to bring in local strike breakers (aka scabs) because it's so extremely frowned upon that no one did it anyway. You made your argument the wrong way around - if Tesla don't like the Swedish culture and customs, they can move to a different country.

Americans would go crazy if some swedes swooped in and tried to change fundamental mechanics of the US culture and system from abroad.

observers can interact with each other's updates.

They only do that if you build a dependency graph instead of a dependency tree and iff the observing framework allows that, and without any loop resolution method. The common technique for graphs under dumb observing is to create a single update routine and pass the name of an emitter to it. I’ve built literally hundreds of interfaces using this (most of them what they’d call “more complex”) and never met any issues React kids are taught to be scared of. UI dataflow was never even a serious concern to be worth a name.

The whole premise of React compares it to a “generic detergent” which doesn’t really exist.
> That last reason is the main and really only reason why you would prefer it to a Unix timestamp.

I think this sort of argument is a bit shortsighted. Using ISO timestamps brings with it the semantics of including UTC offsets in pretty much every operation and historically date library APIs have had their ways of confusing consumers. Sure you can read the data without having to convert them in troubleshooting. You also will end up troubleshooting more because somebody somewhere used a library call that discarded an offset or something similar.
The argument that having nude photos of you mother or daughter spread spread is about a rational response is weird because for most people the response would be emotional.
