Getting an 8086 or 8088 to address more than 64 KByte of memory was just as much a PITA as on 8-bit computers though, on the 8086 you had to wrestle with 64 KByte segments (selected via segment registers), and on 8-bitters one had to wrestle with bank switching - in the end both are pretty much the same thing except that 8086 systems moved the address decoding into the CPU.
Why would they be afraid of retaliation? They didn't sign sports contracts, they can just resign anytime, no? That just seems to overcomplicate things.
There doesn't need to be a strict distinction, but if you subscribe to the traditional test pyramid practice, it's worth focusing the bulk of your testing on tests that run very quickly (typically in the order of milliseconds), that don't require complex setup/teardown, and that don't rely on external state or services to run. This means that these tests are easier to read/write, you can have thousands of them, and you can run them much more frequently, which makes you more productive.

In turn, if you focus more on integration or E2E tests, which are usually more difficult and expensive to run, then you may avoid running them frequently, or rely on CI to run them for you, which slows down development.

Also, you may consider having a stronger distinction, and e.g. label integration and E2E tests, and choose to run them conditionally in CI. For example, it might not make sense to even start the required services and run integration/E2E tests if the unit test suite fails, which can save you some time and money on CI resources.

>What if in the late '70s this new virus started spreading among gay men, and doctors just shrugged and said "well we can treat the symptoms and make our best guess how to avoid it, but damned if I know what's going on..."?

I mean, we still can't cure aids, nor can we cure cancer, and we still haven't figured out how to stop aging. If you cherry pick the right examples you can make any field seem like bunk.

I am one of those business people.

And as I said, WiFi is fast reaching the point where it is as ubiquitous as running water.

And as for "shabby public WiFi", if you are referring to security then that is what VPNs were invented for (and 4G/5G can be monitored too). Also quality wise public WiFi is not as "shabby" as it used to be.

As I also made clear, 4G/5G is not a magical panacea, it is subject to variable speeds, contention and you being kicked-off by the emergency services.

I'm not saying I never use hotspot. I'm saying I find myself using it far less then I ever used to. Indeed on my last business trip I didn't have a need to use it at all because the WiFi everywhere was so good.
It could drastically change so many aspects. The cost of transport could drop 10x or more (accounting for efficiency gains and longevity of EVs).

- Car ownership could end up eliminated except for those who really need dedicated work vehicles.
- Goods and delivery costs plummet. - Cross-state/country trips eliminate short/medium haul flights (wake up at your destination).
- People get thousands of hours back from commuting (in theory).

So many other knock-on effects similar to how smart phones changed every aspect of our lives.

I do believe OpenAI clearly signalled from the very beginning what the (complicated) company structure is about and what risks this means for any potential investor (or employee hoping to become rich).

If you project your personal hopes which are different from this into the hype, this is your personal problem.
Just bought airline tickets the other day and it was such a frustrating experience to go through. United has 4 levels of economy, it was so tedious to compare luggage fees between them. If I want to sit next to my partner it would be an extra 200 off the lowest price both of us needed to upgrade... Then to bring a carry on.

I was using Google flights to compare and they all advertise the really low price, for lowest tier economy. Then yeah clicking through each one to figure out what the final price, getting hit with insurance upgrades, are you sure you don't want economy+ or w/e upgrades on each page.

The fee names seemed insane. There was a 10 dollar 9/11 fee? Wtf is that?

The prices are changing like everyday? Extra unessary pressure to buy. Why can't we just have consistent pricing, instead of taking advantage of people trying to fly when it's convientent.

The whole experience used to be be simpler I think. Just compare and buy and show up.
There's a major resurgence in US manufacturing jobs now and for the foreseeable future. These are mostly in rural or small town areas, with low COL. Pay is anywhere from $18 - $40 an hour for high school graduates. Lots of investment is pouring into previously impoverished areas.

I think it can be argued that giving free private repos to user is a 1% increase. Or what about private vulnerability reporting for open source projects. And so on. Github has gotten a lot of new free functionality since Microsoft bought it. It sounds like you just have not been paying attention.

Edit: Nevermind, I see you refer to Microsoft as M$. That really says it all.

Yes it has not landed in Base, but you're acting like there has not been a general cultural changes. I showed, with receipts, that many of the most widely used packages in the Julia ecosystem have adopted new infrastructure, systems, and tooling to address these problems in the last 3 years. With SciML and JuMP both having adopted such systems, this accounts for roughly 50% of the top 100 most starred Julia packages according to current metrics (Nov 20 2023), with many of the packages not doing this largely being interface packages (plotting, notebooks, and language interop, if you account for those not having this issue it's closer to 2/3 of the top 100 most starred packages). I also want that number to be 100%, and the compiler team is having weekly discussions with us about our needs given that there are now successful parts of the ecosystem to model this tooling based off of, and so yes it can get better and we need to keep improving. But to claim that no shift in culture has occurred is implying that all of this doesn't exist, even though we can point to the receipts.
I guess it depends on what you understand by this term. For me defining structA > f1 > f2 > fn > structB is easy to read, explain and modify. Never had issues with it but I did not use a lot of clojure before so maybe I don’t know the exact way.

> The AI doomers delivered OpenAI in Microsoft's lap for free all in the name of protecting us from the evils of AI.

AI doomers are the entire reason for OpenAI existing, though its been clear for a while that a sizable fraction of that at OpenAI has been for PR show, not any real coherent concern.

What surprised me in the breakup is the indication that there was apparently more than one person involved for whom it wasn't either cynical deception or empty affectation, but enough to actual make substantive, decisions based on.

Doesn't surprise me that, though, that the faction that took it seriously, despite apparently being able to swing a majority of the board, found itself completely overwhelmed by the other side, even after the initial top-level purge, when it came to executive suite of the nominally-for-funding-the-nonprofit-but-funded-by-Microsoft-for-Microsoft's-benefit for-profit LLC, and likely by the "we paid you largely with profit sharing in a firm that we openly say we won't focus on making a profit, but which clearly Microsoft was funding on the expectation of a profit" tech team when they made it clear that they were serious and not just for playing a PR game about the for-profit being subordinated to the nonprofit's mission and not focused on profit.

I asked you to be specific about who and why and you still have not done that.

I am getting from this that you aren't keen on schooling based on conformism and that you believe Arab schools teach conformism. Leaving aside the question of whether that position has merit, what would you do with that information?

Would you ban immigration by Arabs? From Arabic countries? By people educated in Arabic schools, who may not be Arabs and may not come from Arabic countries? What about ethnic minorities in Arabic countries like the Kurds in Iraq, who maintain a parallel school system? What about individuals schooled in conformance-centric religious schools in the US, or in non-Arab conformist cultures like Japan?

Spell out what you're trying to do.
In the case of Spirit and Frontier, this is literally what they're known for. I'd be shocked to meet someone shocked by that.

The fact of the matter is more legroom is expensive because it means less seats can be in the cabin. Seat selection is expensive as it limits the combinations of available seats for those who want to sit together.

If these things don't matter (I'm a short guy sans family who often does short trips w/ minimal luggage needs), it's great to not have to pay for that.
Lots of thoughts and debates happening here, which is great to see.

However, at the end of the day, this is a great example of how people screw up awesome companies.

This is why most startups fail. And while I'm not suggesting OpenAI is on a path to failure, you can have the right product, the right timing, and the right funding, and still have people mess it all up.
Doesn't "full employment" mean there are more jobs than there are workers? That seems like a good thing for workers because it leads to employers competing for workers (similar to what you said).

Your statement that "the fuller employment, the less need employers have to compete for workers on wages" confuses me.
With the loyal customer base (aka addicts) for the bought IPs, the purchase can only be successful.
I think we’re in agreement mostly. I was trying to make the point that the model needs to contain some practical assumptions at the level we’re discussing, or it breaks down. Both binary integer addition and binary address look ups are O(L) where L is the number of bits in the number. In practice for both, we assume L is a constant so both operations are O(1). Hardware completes the operations in essentially a single atomic step, too.

Even with data that is so big you can’t fit it in local storage, you’re almost surely not going to exceed the size of a 64 bit address space. If you can’t fit in cache/RAM/HDD/cloud storage the bottleneck won’t be a binary address look up. The upper bound will be a function of the latency between the CPU and where the memory is stored (like TFA is talking about).

Doing arithmetic on numbers larger than 64 bits (e.g. cryptography) is far more common than exceeding the address space of the OS / hardware / theoretical address space maximum (hundreds of terabytes up to exabytes).
I got it right the first time.

Isn't the name "Data Application Programming Interface" redundant ?

And "Hypermedia Application Programming Interface" wrong, because generally not for an application at all, but rather a (non-programming, as the author says, "for humans") interface to display multimedia documents ?

This might be my favorite comment I've read on HN. Spot on.

Being able to watch the miss steps and the maneuvers of the people involved in real time is remarkable and there are valuable lessons to be learned. People have been saying this episode will go straight into case studies but what really solidifies that prediction is the openness of all the discussions: the letters, the statements, and above all the tweets - or are we supposed to call them x's now?

Activitypub is far too heavy. It literally requires a cryptographic exchange which makes a static setup for Activitypub infeasible. All activitypub based communication requires a big complex, fragile, exploitable dynamic backend on both sides that require ongoing mantainence.

> What if OpenAI decides to partner with Anthropic and Google?

Then they would be on roughly equal footing with Microsoft, since they'd have an abundance of engineers and a cloud partner. More or less what they just threw away, on a smaller scale and with less certain investors.

This is quite literally the best attainable outcome, at least from Microsoft's point of view. The uncertainty came from the board's boneheaded (and unrepresentative) choice to kick Sam out. Now the majority of engineers on both sides are calling foul on OpenAI and asking for their entire board to resign. Relative to the administrative hellfire that OpenAI now has to weather, Microsoft just pulled off the fastest merger of their career.

> It was a terrible system with malaligned incentives, but it was the government's attempt to not violate 5A.

Is there a source for this? This seems incredibly shaky, basically saying that because of public health mandates, the government had to "repay" businesses for lost business/the inability to conduct business, which is just... not the same thing. Lost business is at best a nebulous "I might've made X" proposition, it's not nearly the same thing to, for example, say that the Government confiscated your truck which was worth $12,000 and should pay you as such.

Like, I can see the logic but this seems like something that should be handled in court, not pre-empted by the feds this way.
Just a anecdotal data point: a few months ago I took a trip overseas and had to do it on a pretty short time schedule (<a week). As a grad student this is obviously tough to budget. So I load up my Mullvad Browser and jump around VPN points. Everything was breaking. They very much did not like that browser and the VPN was the cherry on top. But because of this effort I saved about $500 (NYC seemed to be the best location fwiw and I'm on the west coast and flew to Asia).

This felt rather insane and anti-competitive. Each time I changed any variable (including restarting the browser) the price changed and those warnings about number of tickets left would dramatically vary. There is no doubt that that these companies were lying to me. How am I supposed to price compare and we have a competitive market when it's stochastic with high variance? I know airlines claim to work on auctions and economists love auctions, but this wasn't even an auction. This was they knew I was in a bind and just added a dice roll to the price. That's only something a monopoly can do. I don't think this is about being able to select seats, check bags, or buy food.
Show HN: Musical Graphs - Visualizing MIDI with Python and Graphviz
I want to share some python code I wrote:

It’s a script that turns a MIDI file into an animated video.

The song is broken down into notes, and the paths between them are animated on a graph in time with the music.

There are some examples linked in the repo, I’m posting the vids on TikTok.

I had a lot of fun working on this, and if anyone has any feedback or ideas, or can suggest resources I’d appreciate it.

For next steps, I’d love to be able to add more sophisticated animations, and even add 3D elements.
Open AI's value is already zero - Musk no longer has anything to bring to the table.
Mozilla has to kill the unimportant stuff like servo so it's CEO can get a more competitive wage to support her family with. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitchell_Baker#Negative_sala...

More seriously, if Mozilla really can't afford to do browser R&D, I really have to wonder why they keep dumping money into political & non-browser related causes.
The issue with this argument is that low wages are basically marginal. E.g. a low wage earner could get $100 dollars UBI or $200 dollars working a job. A CEO, on the other hand, could get $100 UBI or 11 million working a job. I don’t know about you, but I’m definitely getting out of bed for the extra $10,999,900. I might not get out of bed for the extra $100, however.

>*I think before MS stepped in here I would have agreed w/ you though -- unlikely anyone is jumping ship without an immediate strong guarantee.

The details here certainly matter. I think a lot of people are assuming that Microsoft will just rain cash on anyone automatically sight unseen because they were hired by OpenAI. That may indeed be the case but it remains to be seen.
