Doesn't add too much more to the official company blog post from a couple of hours ago - but interesting that Sam keeps saying he can't talk about what exactly happened during the board coup. One example from the interview:

"Sam: and I totally get why people want an answer right now. But I also think it’s totally unreasonable to expect it.

Verge: Why do you think that’s unreasonable? I think people see a lot of vagaries about what happened."
Realize that many people who work for competitor products will bash it here. It is a best of class rather than best of breed solution tailored to organizations who want a secure on prem suite like O365. Some apps are best of breed, but you can find many better alternatives to specific apps. File sharing and collaboration is one of its strongest offerings. I think you will be amazed at all the sharing options available. When you need the tight integration between several apps and central administration, it is a great suite. It changed my life in a good way.
To the public, and to employees.

Ask HN: Best resources to get started in computer vision, image processing?
As a programmer where do I get started in computer vision and image processing?

Any kind of resource would be helpful.
Classic corporate bullshit, smellier than usual since it comes from a company that claims to be data-driven.
I'm not sure what is `npm` your meaning, is it https://www.npmjs.com/ ?

Is pgxman an extension manager for Postgres like apt for Debian?
If you talk about the good things he did one group of people will get very mad, and if you talk about the bad things he did another group of people will get very mad. Much easier to just say nothing.

I’d say exactly the same if I were a war criminal

> Horses were replaced because they have no political power, they are tools.

How much political power do you think the purveyors of AI wield?

> As long as we live in a democracy people will not become horses.

It’s estimated that 2.3 billion people—about 29% of the global population—lived in a democracy in 2021 (https://www.visualcapitalist.com/cp/how-many-people-live-in-...)

And if you live in a democracy today, as you yourself state, it is not guaranteed to remain that way.
Very cool! I've run into some of these kinds of issues myself in my daily work and it took a long time to both discover the other and a solution. I'll definitely try this out to see if it can help me find and fix these kinds of issues faster.
I've ran MTAs and MDAs both personally and professionally at scale. I've hosted my own postfix and dovecot instances for about 13 years now for one reason, sieve. I cannot live without it.

Honestly, the original setup of everything is a big lift if you've never done it but once you have ldap+krb5/PKI for auth{n,z}, DNS working properly, and a working POSIX setup (what used to be sysadmin 101) it basically runs itself in perpetuity. The underlying tech is old, feature-complete, and rock solid. Not to mention you're in full control of the entire stack. I honestly haven't had an issue after the first year and I use email HEAVILY.

Though to be fair, I do have a bunch of ldap entries and routing rules in place so the power users can choose sieve+dovecot and all the plebs can use the Gmail webui.
Some companies are chartered such that even the smallest outside spending requires a board vote.
What would that have accomplished? The old board members would still be in charge of the same thing they are today: absolutely nothing. They overplayed their position. That's all there is to it.
Believe it or not, real GDP. Straight from the BLS.

"Real gross domestic product (GDP) increased at an annual rate of 5.2 percent in the third quarter of 2023 (table 1), according to the "second" estimate released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. In the second quarter, real GDP increased 2.1 percent."
SQs are reliable, and pretty robust. However, it is important to know that the top-loader agitator models and are popular on the Internet use quite a lot of water and are pretty hard on clothing. You may keep the SQ longer, but a modern front-loader may allow you to keep your existing clothing longer.
Back in the day there wasn’t much value in convincing people on the internet that arbiters of truth were needed because there weren’t enough people on the internet to determine political power contests.

There were enough people watching television back in the day to determine political power contests, and hey would you look at that there were arbiters of truth there back in the day.

Don’t forget credit card interest payments! GDP! Student loan payments! That also goes towards GDP! Great products! 30 years of mortgage interest? You guessed it, GDP!

Copium and GDP for everyone!

Anyone look at PPP or is that metric too inconvenient?
As someone who has not seen this syntax before, it's OK. But, "timezone" shouldn't be a separate method, it should be a parameter to the function taking the time specification. Functions named as nouns should be named "onNoun" instead (onWeekdays, onDays). It's also very unclear what happens if I do something like ->daily()->weekdays() ("daily on weekdays") or ->weekdays()->lastDayOfMonth('15:00') ("on the last weekday of the month at 15:00").
So what? Many countries do not recognize the ICC, not just the US. We don’t want a Global World Order; that’s a European fantasy Europe can keep. We don’t share all the same values or laws and never will.

I really like Volvo's for their safety record (XC90 has never had a fatal crash I believe), but the reliability scares me away... I wish car companies just offered a "dumb" version without the infotainment package.
I periodically search Craigslist for them and I've asked the local gear reseller (Starving Musician) to be on the eye out for a "dead" one. I seriously doubt having one shipped would be cost effective :-). There is a $50 one on Ebay in Illinois for local pickup.

I wish there was some version of Wikipedia for people who speak good English (not Simple English), but aren't assumed to already be experts on the topic. Technical articles are pretty much impenetrable.
Why is he giving this interview if they are unwilling to talk about what exactly happened and why?
They weren't willing to gut the company. That's why Sam is back as CEO.
I have ADHD, am 51 years old and we have zero (except for daycare) assistance as dual-income parents. The combination of these things ups the apparent difficulty considerably, based on my research into why this feels so incredibly hard. I am strongly considering an au-pair situation just to not lose my sanity.

Filled with toxic substances, no less. There’s probably some treaties that would frown upon that.
Was this ever contested? Yes, making a comfortable boat is not rocket science.

The list is about reliability. Having soft shocks doesn’t play much into that unless you’re forgetting that the motor mounts need to be replaced way sooner than you would expect because the suspension is absorbing a lot of the rough ride in the cab.

Dodge has taken their trucks into competition with Cadillac and GMC instead of Ford and Toyota in years past.

Do you have any evidence of harassment or doxxing? You come off as very aggressive in your comments, but that’s understandable if you’ve actually been harassed.

I think this could have been avoided entirely if you had given a shoutout to OP. It doesn’t seem like you copied their code, but it does seem like you were inspired by their idea.

Don't even know this is a thing. Thank you kind stranger.
> If Kissinger committed treason, there was nothing stopping the US government from pursuing charges

Except the optics and power that his party holds (politics), which is what keeps many congress critters in positions of power. The power that the US wields (economically and militarily) kept the other countries at bay.

People pretending, that the reasons are unclear, are being disingenuous.
You can finance amazing amounts of deficit spending when the world overwhelmingly desires to store its wealth in Dollars...
Agree, but I wonder if it has something to do with BMW's maintenance program for the first few years that covers most issues? So maybe certain issues aren't really being reported in the stats.
Inflation from money printing can be lagging compared to the effect on GDP (depending on how the printed money is distributed). Not saying that this is what we have today, just pointing out the possibility.
my wife and me, having successfully* raised teens to adulthood and with a 15 year old daughter still in the house, here's my opinions. caveat: i don't need from 80 people who never had kids as to why i'm wrong. you'all can do what you want, but the OP (in the article) essentially asked a question:

- for this analysis i'm presuming the parents did not violate the law or child-pornography issues. Otherwise, we're not talking about an advice column, we're talking about a lawyer. So the rest of this presumes that, because otherwise we'd be reading about it in the court news.

- the adults did not breach "trust". the daughter (hiding a boyfriend) did. it's totally a forgivable and understandable thing, kids being kids. but its still wrong.

- the article raises a good point. gee, i wonder why? probably overbearing parents. never-the-less...

- but we'd have definitely handled it different. not because it's necessarily wrong, but it's just not stupid and not effective - what did you expect to see? what were you going to do about it if you saw it? better just remove the bedroom door or tell her up -front "ok but we put cameras up all over the house so if you have anyone over we'll know about it".

- this must be balanced with privacy and freedom. but always from the position is that the givers and takers of these privileges are the adults. privacy and freedom, phones, internet, cars, "having a life" are earned privileges for kids.

- a good example. we purposefully told my daughter, just like any employer does, the privilege of internet and phone comes with the fact that we have the right and ability to monitor everything done on them. do we? probably not, but we can and will. disclose it up front. it creates a disincentive to stray.

- but you can't do that all at once. you can't spend 15 years not training, and then come down hard when the first boyfriend or joint or party pops up. training is about setting up situations for success, not failure. so my kids know already how to succeed and make good choices to earn freedom way before the teenage years. yes, a parent's job is a kid-trainer.

- reasonable expectations. kids, especially teens, are allowed to stray (a little), have their own lives, have boyfriends you don't like, etc. what are your "red-lines" you don't ever cross? stick to that and be fair and consistent. it's not fair to allow boyfriends, but only the "ones you like". it is fair to allow boyfriends, but only XOXO, but no XXX, and no-smoking, no 42 year olds perverts, etc.

- the response in the article is such bad advice. let's say the parents realize they royally screwed up and feel really guilty. ok, go confess to the priest or something. don't do that again then. everyone survived and is fine. shut up.

- to the question: "what now?". well, kid survived high-school (and her parents) and is headed to college. do you want a giant fight? do you want to wreck your relationship? what good can come of it. nothing. so shut-up, throw that damn bear away and never speak of it. look forward.

*so far, knock on wood, but married, employed, and homeowners, so far so good
Agree on principle, but isn’t this an edge case? Are there enough votes coming from citizens living abroad to matter?
Just looking at gasoline prices is misleading. You need to look at how much people spend on gas, and on cars, insurance, maintenance, parking, commute in traffic etc. If gas is more expensive in Barcelona, but I can walk to work or take the subway there then quality of life might be much better there even with higher gas prices.

Regarding the times objectively being pretty good, it depends what objectives you're using. Measures of consumer sentiment, for example, are similar to the 2008 financial crisis.

I would think if your metrics all say the economy is good and people mostly say it's bad, then your metrics are probably broken.
The way I read this passage, Jesus was speaking to the impossibility of the rich being saved. I don't see it as "if they became poorer they could diminish themselves to the point where it was possible," but rather "in their own power they cannot be saved, the value system that led them to build and maintain their wealth is contrary to the value system of heaven." In the next verse the disciples are shocked and basically say that no one could be saved in this case. Rather than correct them and explain that the rich can be saved after divesting themselves of their riches, Jesus replies instead (paraphrasing), "Yes, you're right. It is impossible, but God can do the impossible." This also leads me to believe Jesus meant "camel," not "rope."

Juxtapose the "warrior wolf diplomacy" of not even a year ago with the hat-in-hand meeting with Biden in San Francisco. Xi bet he could stare down the US and win. He lost that bet.
Only for the first 3 years... and I wonder if these stats are being padded by BMW's warranty/maintenance program for the first few years. How many 30 year old BMWs with 300,000 miles do you see? Not as many as you do Toyota or Honda.
They threatened to walk across the street to a service you aren’t using.
You may be surprised to learn it's been in shambles for a while longer than that.
If you have some greater than nominal amount of yearly spend on travel (like $500, seriously) I highly recommend upgrading to the reserve right after your year end bonus (this will maximize your points). Better even if you get an upgrade bonus. You get $300 of the $450 back immediately after you spend it on travel and the extra points will be made back in weeks if not months if you spend on it even a little. I had the preferred for like 6 years because it was the cheapest card with no foreign transaction fees and after upgrading to the reserve this year I am kicking myself for having waited this long. The lounges are meh but the better insurance and more points are killer, plus the one time free global entry is a nice benefit as well if you don’t already have it.
Apple unveils App Store Award winners, the best apps and games of 2023
It is generally accepted that the locations and molecular structure of synapses are a critical determinant of CNS function. And a typical neuron will have and make hundreds to several thousands synapses.

So the more appropriate unit to compare to CPUs and GPUs is synapse number, not neuron number.

Here is an open version of my Annual Review of Neuroscience article with Karl Herrup on the control of neuron number. Old paper but it is one of the first publications to give an accurate estimate of neuron numbers in the human brain right:

So buy it from her.
So-called "side stories" about throttles that provide feedback are entirely relevant because they address the issue at hand: the supposed benefits of physical feedback in the controls. The Sriwijaya crash is additionally relevant as it happened during a phase of flight where someone's hands were likely to be on the throttle quadrant in the first place.

If you're going to double down on the idea that somehow feedback in a control column is a wildly different affair than feedback in the throttle quadrant, Air France recently had a go around where the two pilots provided opposing inputs without realizing it. The inputs were forceful enough to un-synchronize the controls, so yeah, physical feedback is less helpful than one's intuition suggests.

With Air France 447, there should've been an annunciator that conflicting input was being provided (as well as the ability to lock out one set of controls).

However, when you're task saturated it doesn't matter what you're flying — there are plenty of things you're going to miss. Were there strong benefits to feedback (or lack thereof) on FBW controls there would be some sort of mandate from the FAA or EASA one way or another.
Same, feels like they created a model once and left it to rot. What baffles me is how google translate is still behind them despite spearheading the scene a few years ago.
90% of embedded code is horrible global variable messes like that, it's truly horrifying if you value CS and SE sensibilities and get into embedded. Invariably you'll also be expected to interface to and utilitise someone else's code of that style, so you can't even try to make much of a positive impact from within.
I think the conclusion is not just from the papers, but from what appears to be widespread support regardless of criticism. The sampling is not one or two papers in that respect, it's multiple well known historians and at least one well known group of historians coming our strongly in support publicly.
Well please let's not just rebuild all our roads to accommodate the fastest and stupidest drivers. (See above about pedestrian and cyclist safety).

I guess that's just always happening anyway. Except in a few cities doing proper bike lanes, roads are always getting widened, intersections expanded.
We can't afford to be neutral on a moving train.
Sounds cool. Not sure what to do after I get to the website.
Europe also has pedestrian crash safety standards as well. US crash safety standards deal exclusively with the occupants of the vehicle, and not at all with the lives of whatever was smashed into.
ugh - you are right. misspoken by me

Excellent! Thank you! Right from the man himself: "I've said that political satire became obsolete when Henry Kissinger was awarded the Nobel Prize." So his objection is not to the quote itself, but rather the implication that he would have retired as a form of protest in relation to said quote.
I really learned something from this post. Obviously till today I did not understand REALLY shy people, nor ever had a collegue THIS shy.

If anyhow I ever get into such a situation, I feel better prepared.

Thank you.
I wish there was something more objective used like to quantify how many vehicles are still on the road after X number years. I guarantee Toyota/Lexus/Honda/Acura would be at the top if you compared how many vehicles would still be daily drivers after 25+ years and 250,000+ miles.
If you think about it automotive safety is phenomenal if you decide to compare it to something else entirely. Few have the courage to say “disregard children outside of the car and think of suicide”. This is groundbreaking thinking
Publicity. He's getting his and OpenAI's name in front of eyes. And the cloak and dagger routine is almost certainly yet another way to keep people talking longer. It's probably something incredibly boring in all honesty, but if people are talking about how maybe they created skynet or that GPT5 is sentient, that looks really good as far as the team's capabilities.
And if they walk across that street, I'll cancel my subscription on this side of the street, and start a subscription on that side of the street. Assuming everything else is about equal, such as subscription cost and technology competency. Seems like a simple maneuver, what's the hang up? The average person is just using ChatGPT in a browser window asking it questions. It seems like it would be fairly simple, if everything else is not about equal, for that person to just find a different LLM that is performing better at that time.
I think this is the beginning of the downfall or end of OpenAI…well, the downfall had already started. It may not be apparent, but the company structure and the grip of the (now returned) CEO doesn’t sound like a good recipe for “open” or ethical AI.

The company will probably make money. Microsoft would still be a partner/investor until it can wring the maximum value before extinguishing OpenAI completely. Same holds for employees’ loyalty. There doesn’t seem to be anything in this entire drama and the secrecy around it that indicates that things are good or healthy within the company.
You didn’t address the main issue asked about: what happens with all the people out of work?
I'm in the Netherlands and it gave it to me in English.
That's not what i was saying (it's a given). After all C++ was invented to provide programmers with a large number of features that would allow them to express abstractions naturally and directly rather than building them up with all the basic plumbing that you would need to do in C.

However there is a huge amount of C code and programmers who would like to move to C++ and it is for them that the techniques of C coexisting with C++ are very relevant. There can be no wholesale rewrite of the code into C++ but a gradual rewrite module by module and as needed. Using C++ as a "better C" is the path here.
This was about the government.

Show HN: Triplista – I made an app to help users organize and plan their trips
I used to organize my travels with Apple Notes, then I decided to start a new side-project and build something more specific, I've been testing it for about 4 months and now it's finally launched! Triplista allows you to create your trips with origin and destination
- Inside each trip you can add the places you'll visit - View the places in a map
- Add a budget to the places you'll visit
- Get flight information (coming very soon)
I think people make projects like these because by the time they have need of the tools, they've already formed strong opinions about how those tools should work. Otherwise even Homebrew wouldn't exist, because pkgsrc already did.
Because LLMs from competitors already have real use? Ex. kagi.com uses claude by anthropic [1].
