FDIC insurance certainly has value; sure you're not getting much (or any) returns, but, it's just the extreme end of the risk/reward spectrum.
they turn the waste glass into tiles

This is delusional. Think about how much heat energy it takes to melt glass to make tiles. There is no way this has a low carbon footprint. I applaud the PR team at Silo for convincing their customer base of this fantasy. The lifetime carbon footprint (from manufacturing to "recycling" / disposal) is much lower for plastic compared to glass. And, I write this post as someone who tries to reduce my plastic footprint as much as possible.
Google uses it also, though heavily customized.
There are a ton of companies that are basically a wrapper around GPT-4 with some minimal amount of application code. These folks can create impressive demos that wow minimally informed investors, but the reality is that if it took a few weeks to make there's no defensibility.

I see the profits in the current AI hype cycle going to the leading foundational model company (why pay for the 2nd best?) and the companies that already own customer relationships and integrate AI into their existing products (Microsoft, Adobe, Autodesk, etc).
I had to look myself, from wikipedia: "As CEO, Neumann, on multiple occasions purchased buildings and then leased the space back to WeWork.[60] Observers noted this as a potential conflict of interest and one that would not be allowed if WeWork were a public company.[61] During his tenure as CEO of WeWork, Neumann also purchased US$90 million worth of residences, including a 60-acre (24 ha) estate in Westchester County, New York, a 6,000-square-foot (560 m2) condominium near Gramercy Park, two homes in The Hamptons, and a US$21 million mansion in Corte Madera, California.[16]

Neumann launched Flow, a residential real estate startup funded by the venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, in August 2022." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Neumann)"

This guy is just a greed engine at full steam!
Well done both of you.
Even if you aren't eaten, the use case will just be copied and run on the same OpenAI models by competitors, having good prompts is not good enough a moat. They win either way
No-one seems to have sued Unity over an even more egregious set of EULA changes - claiming that users retroactively owed money on games developed and published under totally different terms.
Historically hg had the more intuitive interface[1] and git had better performance. Hg's performance has improved a lot (partly because Meta uses it). Git's interface has improved as well, but I know it too well now to say if it's as intuitive as hg; certainly many hg proponents say it is not.

Why would they “rebut” a correlation? Is there some reason you think it is impossible for American conservatism to correlate with conspiracy theories? Did you just entirely ignore my explanation of the classification system?
"famously"? What do you mean?

If you're talking about FTX: MIT is also not an Ivy League school.

The Ivy League is really just a sport league. Back when I was applying to colleges I read that Colgate was invited to join but when they declined Cornell was recruited instead. (but can't find anything about this on the web).
If the Moon were replaced by a black hole of its same mass, we wouldn't even notice except that the night sky would become moonless and we wouldn't have eclipses any more. The tides would keep happening as usual.
I guess it's a little hard to find from their home page because the top search widget thingy is for longer-term reservations, but if you scroll down and choose the "coworking" tab, there's a tile for coworking day passes with a link you can click for the reservation page.
About nano plastic: Are they any serious (respected), peer-reviewed scientific studies on the negative health effects of nano plastics? It is frequently mentioned by the "natural crowd" on HN, but I never see any scientific evidence shared.
Well. One risk now is that Firefox will become a part of copilot, and thus its code will feed Microsoft browser development regardless.

This is not what open source is supposed to mean.

It’s not self dealing if you really love the building I guess. To be fair it was a matter of time before somebody loaded them up with debt and wiped equity. Might as well do it yourself.
Debt (measured in dollars) and GDP (measured in dollars per year) is a strange comparison.

Yes, I have heard of it, but without any attached circumstances. I'm not sure there are any attached circumstances that would make it appropriate, but I wanted to hear out the Tesla fans.
That's not at all what is happening though. It's more like if I was to buy crashed Fords at salvage auctions to take the genuine parts from them, and Ford's private stasi force shows up at my house to take everything and then sell them for their own profit.

Considering that the Linux kernel uses git, that particular anecdote's problems could probably be attributed to a cause other than their choice of VCS.
My god, this section is full of self-congratulatory, delusional posts. Hop on a flight to go to dinner at Silo? That single flight it probably worth more than a decade of reducing plastic sandwich bags.

My cotton jeans, leather bag, and metal water bottle are all more expensive - but they are higher quality, have lasted for years, and can often be repaired.

You can probably buy jeans at Walmart for 10 USD. They will last for a decade.
Semi off topic. If you have really ripped up non-stick. Probably worth getting rid of it especially if you have kids (not saying you do). The risk of chunks of stick coating being carcinogenic seems to be trivially mitigated by replacing the object.

The keynote was well executed in parts and shallow in others. The video on "how ChatGPT is changing lives" is a good idea but didn't quite work for me. But they are sure heading towards Apple style marketing, with enough money and experience under the belt in future.

One thing that they probably didn't see/say but was a good story one could tell ...

Satya Nadella referred to initial days of OpenAI where they got some Azure credits to build their product.

A few minutes later all developers attending the DevDay got $500 in OpenAI credits.

This could have been highlighted as a similar moment in turn ... go build your own OpenAI (startup).

That would have been a powerful message I think.

These 5%-13% condo vacancy rates in Toronto in 2019 were happening against a backdrop of rental vacancies of 1.1% (for new rentals) and 0.8% (for all rentals in the Greater Toronto Area)[1]. That's what made that +5% of available condo stock vacant and unrented such a shocker.

I don't mind it, it's just another runtime that works on Linux and BSD. I have my neovim infected with extensions made in Node.js, Python, Lua, my weechat is infected with extensions made in Python, Perl, Node.js, and my zsh is infected with extensions with components made in Rust, C, and Python.

This is a 'complaint'. There is zero requirement to include all evidence that they intend to reference in court.

That being said, it absolutely is referenced:

> RealPage actively polices Defendants’ agreement to ensure compliance.

> This data includes the rents that Defendant Landlords actually charge, providing RealPage with a mechanism for assessing whether Landlords “cheat” on their agreement by deviating from the rent dictated by RealPage’s RM Software.

> Their agreement is reflected in existing documents, has been
publicly acknowledged by cartel members, and is closely policed to ensure compliance.

> Deviations from the RealPage-generated rent are referred to as “overrides.”
Consistent with their agreement to impose rents generated by RealPage RM Software nearly all the time, Defendants agreed to limit overrides. For example, a RealPage LRO training document states: “Overrides should be few and far between.” Similarly, internal RealPage LRO training documents teach cartel members’ regional managers to beware of “Override Overload” or “rogue” leasing agents who too frequently override the LRO-generated pricing.

> An internal presentation created by Defendant Greystar explicitly
acknowledges that RealPage RM Software users should each seek to accept at
least 95% of the RealPage-generated prices, emphasizing that “Discipline [o]f
using revenue management increases more consistent outcomes.”

> Former Greystar employees have similarly confirmed that negotiating rents other than those set by the RealPage RM Software was unacceptable.

> Even where Participating Landlords do not enable auto-accept, most landlords cannot, on their own, charge rents other than those generated by RealPage’s RM Software—
landlords can only “propose an override.” The landlord must then provide a written business justification for why they wish to depart from the RealPage-generated rent.

Sounds like it's very much in the lawsuit. I'm not sure how you come to any other conclusion. It's a core tenet across multiple pages of it. In your previous comment you try to imply it's just "encouraged". And now you're making statements that are demonstrably incorrect (and I found those examples with less than five minutes of skimming the court complaint, so it's hard to imagine how you missed them all).
Why? You can't choose how you will be identified by people as being of some race.

While you can make choices about what kind of work you think is ethical or worthwhile.

It is immoral to judge a candidate by the first but not immoral to judge by the latter.
> as it forces a specific concurrency model on the consumer

I found your excuse above is really nonsense. when your program is in Golang, you've already picked side, the concerned concurrency model has already been chosen by the user.

we are not talking about one of random concurrency models, we are talking about channel based sychnronization and communication in golang, if you don't want that and consider it as an issue, you shouldn't be using golang in the first place.

I agree.
I used to play a drum beat game with my daughter and son-in-law, who are both professional musicians, and they could hit beats within a 10ms window, while I struggled to get under 100ms.

But 100ms seems like a reasonable upper limit for autocomplete to me.

X4 Foundations

If you've never heard of it X4 is a space sandbox game with an emphasis on trade. I can't remember the last time I was this captivated by a game. It combines a lot of things I love - simulation, automation, optimization, statistics, space combat, slow but quantifiable progression.
I think it applies to using git as a whole. It's best to use a VCS that, instead of making you work, gets out of your way.
Yeah, it's a complete mystery why two of the most important* leaders of the 20th century have more well-written intros than some self-aggrandizing dildo who's into Covid-19 conspiracies and other misinformation nonsense.

Truly, a most vexing situation.

Agree to disagree?

This is a satire of how our current incentive system disproportionately allocates resources in a fad fashion, not unlike how the waves sloshed around the fish tank you tried to deliver to your girlfriend, only to discover 2/3s of the water was spilled all over the back seat and the fish with PTSD are now staring askance at you.

If this were a post titled "Open Source Operating Systems Graveyard" or some such, where it was demonstrable that the pursuits were those primarily of creativity, rather than something closer akin to carpetbagging, then I might agree with your expressed regret.

What I'm really asking is if you are allowed to block the phone home process. Or, in superlative language that I suspect would resonate more with Tesla fans, "in the event of an apocalypse does your Tesla automatically brick itself or does it continue to function?"
I don't think choosing channel itself is an issue, if it works for the said platform, that is great.

What I don't understand is why there should be such a blog article telling people that you decided to use channel in your go based program? This is like writing an article telling people that you decided to use the MMU when building an OS.
It wouldn't be that much simpler if it wanted to do the equivalent thing in C. This is code for "set a pin in a completely thread safe way", whereas a lot of the comparisons are "set a pin".

Which, as others have already pointed out, brings us to the very topic of this post. Rust prevents novices from messing up partly by forcing them to acknowledge ways in which the code might break, and it does that via the type system.
No. The downside is you spent a lot of money on a model and don’t own it.
except (Error1, Error2) as e still works in python3.
They specifically said it's a better model
Having ever increasing context is not the silver bullet. For those who believe that the larger the context, the smarter the model, you will find the model still talking nonsense even if it were fed with much larger context.
if there's any money at all, employees get their pay. Shareholders can be forced to go in their pockets and pay employees wages due.

I don't know of this happening to a large corp, but if a local restaurant goes bankrupt, or a local construction company, and the owner is not also bankrupt, they can be forced to pay employees. Usually they are also bankrupt. Not sure if those debts survive through personal bankruptcy.

You may be referring to employees losing retirement or other benefits like that, but the worst of those loopholes have been closed (the pension can't be in the company's own stock, that type of thing)
OS isn't a protected class (though it definitely should be)
Except that python2's `unicode` was a mistake. We already knew at the time that "just use utf-8 for everything, and never use numerical indexing" was the way to go, but instead python3 decide to leave us with no working string class, as opposed to python2 which at least had a mostly-working one.

That said, the major forces against the transition were that it was impossible to write code that worked with both versions for a long time:

* python 2.7 added support for a few python3 syntax/library features, but python 2.6 was very widely deployed on stable distros.

* it wasn't until python 3.3 (very late to actually be deployed) that you could even write a unicode string literal (you know, the thing the claimed the transition was all about) that still worked in python3

* python before 3.3 had a completely bogus idea of "unicode" on Windows anyway, even ignoring the API nonsense.

* python 3 completely broke the way indexing worked for `bytes`, making it produce integers (rather than single-codeunit instances) of all things.

* there was a lot of gratuitous package breakage. Instead of leaving deprecated shim packages, they just removed them, and you hard to add a third-party dependency to get something that worked with both versions (and said dependency hooked into core parts of the interpreter in weird ways).

It wasn't until around 3.5 that there started being any actual advantage of python3 at all. But there is still tons of code that is no longer possible to write.

Well, gee I don't know, let's start with this, literally just off the top of my head from the past day or two. https://x.com/esqueer_/status/1721235855241547877 but you can look through his likes/follows/rts to see plenty of fucked up stuff.
A detailed description of the Programma 101 architecture and internals appears
as Chapter 19 in the book Computer Structures: Readings & Examples edited by
Gordon Bell and Alan Newell, 1971.

Bell and Newell write, "The Programma 101 (Chap. 19) is at the limit of what we call a stored program computer. It has a sufficient instruction set to be classified as a computer, but the storage for temporary data, constants, and programs is limited. ..." (from the beginning of Section 4 in
the book, linked at Bell's web site, URL below)

Here is the HTML verson from Gordon Bell's website:

That's a bet I'd easily take 7 days a week and twice on Sundays.

There is nothing fundamentally wrong with WeWork's core product. Users are generally big fans of their services, they have huge brand recognition and are basically synonymous with co-working spaces, and while the need for corporate office space is drastically reduced post-pandemic, the flexibility that WeWork provides is exactly what many companies want.

The problems with WeWork are nearly entirely with their capital structure. They expanded way too fast, they signed many leases that would never have been profitable (often in bizarro 0-rate environment world sweetheart deals with Adam Neumann), and their ridonculous valuation made them take on way too much debt to fund further expansion. Chapter 11 gets rid of all that. WeWork will be a much smaller company in the rather mundane business of office and property management, but it serves none of their stakeholder's interests to liquidate.
> I feel like Git is great but we could have one which is easier to use

FWIW, Mercurial's been there for almost 20 years.
The asset is the positive operating properties/leases.

The idea from WeWork management would be to shed the bad properties and keep the good ones and operate them as post-BK WeWork.

Creditors could say, great idea, but we want to sell that remaining business for cash rather than leave it in your hands because we don't trust you to continue to run this.

Mostly the frontend story. Server-rendered React pages that work with layouts and error pages. You can cobble something together, but it's not as seamless as Next.js or Remix.

Non news item, most laptops' BIOS has a PCIe whitelist for wireless cards as a way to make sure FCC doesn't come after them for users retrofitting cell modems / arbitrary antennas. You can hack the BIOs to bypass the whitelist with a couple hours of work.
In one sense I'm not surprised that the general reaction seems to be "shrug ". This is a story about Apple being Apple, and Border Control being, well Border Control.

Both organisations have a well-deserved reputation. Both are behaving completely in character.

That the biggest company can pay to enlist the support of the most-insulated police force surprises no-one.

Perhaps more depressing is that there's no expectation of improvement. Juicy press expose leading to reform? Not likely.
I think Apple will individually reply to the feedbacks with a PR message like "we take your concerns seriously, we have a plan to improve our feedback interaction." Because the replies are individual and posted on a private channel, people who joined the boycott will not have any wider visibility, and think "Oh maybe it's okay now" and go back to using it.

It might be worth establishing an official public dialog forum and discouraging people from individually communicating until a resolution is confirmed there in public. Right now it's on individuals to confirm that Apple improved things, which can only reasonbly be done by submitting more feedback (i.e. breaking the boycott).

I've personally stopped providing feedback via forms on cloud providers' websites due to similar unacknowledgement and general disinterest in improving developer experience, but haven't tried to organize anything about it.
No. Being the first class element in the go language, channel is nothing different from a []byte or a regular struct.

The whole purposes of having such built-in channel as a part of the core language is to encourage everyone to use it whenever possible, the reason is dead simple - it is much less likely to shoot yourself in the foot.
