> The expectation of compliance is part of the social contract.

Ethics requires that we act ethically regardless of what the law says, period. You can't something something Hobbes your way out of that.

> The reason this conversation won't progress is that you're more or less ignoring all of ethics and philosophical thought as it's been laid out in the past 500 years, instead substituting your own opinion, as if that were even approaching equality.

Huh? I'd be perfectly happy if CDs and DVDs were sold according to 500-year-old philosophical ethics. The "you might own the disc but you're only allowed to do what I say with it" stuff is comparatively very recent.

> Of course we won't get anywhere if you can't address the obvious relationship piracy has with the concept of "Free riders", for example.

Why am I supposed to address this? Was I asked to at some point? You've spent a solid week arguing that piracy is unethical specifically because the people who do it have somehow agreed not to. Are you now pivoting to the position that it's unethical for reasons pertaining to the consequences of piracy? If so (and far be it from me to accuse you of not reading my comments, which would be very rude) can I remind you that I clearly and explicitly agreed with that?

> ...I'll close by trying to clearly summarize my position. Media piracy is certainly ethically dubious, but its ethical position is not changed by the shrinkwrap license(s) that are sometimes attached to it. If it's ethical to pirate a movie, it is still ethical to pirate the same movie with a sticker saying otherwise, and if it's unethical to pirate a movie with such a sticker, it's still unethical to pirate the same movie without that sticker.
> Yes, people that believe that Google will forever own the web are the same people that used to believe that Microsoft would forever own it. MS got arrogant and lost. Google looks like they are repeating that mistake.

I don't believe Google will forever own the web. But, like Microsoft did, I believe they will cause us a lot of pain before they're through.
I have no clue why people are so shocked about this. Being able to run arbitrary code makes extensions nearly impossible to audit. There are so many malicious extensions out there, surely there has to be some checks on them. How else would the chrome extension store be able to prevent apps like Honey from harvesting all of your personal data?

Also, users can check one box in chrome settings in order to go around this. It’s a bit too easy to bypass IMO.
It works... "ok" but doesn't handle group messages. I find sometimes it just doesn't connect. They do post frequent updates though so there's clearly an active team managing the app.

I love being able to easily send URLs and other copy+paste items to my iMessage contacts from Windows!
In the medical field, letters and case studies often document observations that may not be groundbreaking. However, scientific journals typically feature content that contributes to existing knowledge, making it somewhat novel. Consequently, presenting a set of POST parameters as an arXiv paper could be perceived as undermining the integrity of the entire preprint service.
"best picture quality" is kinda subjective. Most consumer CRTs were kind of ass.

There's a reason that what's sought after these days are old broadcast reference monitors that cost $20,000+ when new.
No they aren't. My iMessage still works, and so will other devices that had iMessage.
Multiple profiles from chrome is such an important feature for me, I don't know people cope without it.

Ironically, chrome on Android is as flexible as safari is on iOS.
I was oversimplifying, I guess. Lawyers will generally tell you what law something may violate but they will offer context. Something can be legal or illegal depending on what information is available. A good lawyer will tell you not only whether something could technically be considered a crime but will also give you feedback on how to avoid doing that (which may change nothing about the actual thing you plan to do, just how you go about it).

If something is criminal is decided in court. A lawyer advises on how likely the court is to decide that way.
> social security, Medicare

Both have a separate line item and can't really be compared with the rest of our tax dollars.

What's more important is what the discretionary budget is being spent on, and the largest portion of that is the US DOD.
Yeah, it still sucks though. The US is going through a slump and it really shows in some of our major cities.
It's the images, videos and most of all, this the group chats. Being the only person on Android sucks if everyone else is on a group chat.

It could use smoother UI support, but I've been using multiple profiles on FF for years. I'm using them right now.
For data though, as LLM's generate more output, over time wouldn't they be expected to mess themselves with their own generated data?

Wouldn't that be the wall we'll hit? Think of how shitted up Google Search is with generated garbage, I'm imagining we're already in the 'golden age' where we were able to train on good datasets before it gets 'polluted' with LLM generated data that may not be accurate, and it just continues to become less accurate over time.
Literally basic statistical inference.
Non-Apple legitimate users aren't the only concern for Apple: Once third-party clients are readily available, this makes spam much harder to filter.

Right now they can probably just ban known-spam-originating devices, which is much more effective than banning iCloud accounts since there is a much higher cost to the spammers.
Brave is chromium. And how is chrome better (or worse) than safari? They both just work, and safari is even better for laptops in terms of battery life in my experience.
My rebuttal is that a lot of web devs have already moved on from actively supporting Firefox (although most websites still work just fine), and if anything the USDS is a laggard.

The laggards all moving away from Firefox might actually be a big problem though, the enterprise laggards kept Internet Explorer on life support way past its best before date, but FF won't get that.
Agreed. Certain categories should probably be purged every 5 years or so. In many areas there is no value in learning how things got done years ago. Obviously, there are other areas where the fundamentals haven't changed since the last decades.

In the case of an endangered species a biologist would still have access to take samples from it and inspect it. Science doesn't have to happen in a lab but it's questionable to call something science when it involves hitting a black box endpoint which can change the underlying models and behaviors at a whim.
That's kind of true. You need to find a smaller company that is growing fast for hard work to translate into reward.I've seen hard workers kill it many times in the right,s maller up and coming company and I've seen hard workers die in bigger, less caring places. It's more about whether management values you the incremental value you bring because it's growing fast or if management is worried about your incremental cost because they already have a large enough position to have market power and are now optimizing for somethign other than growth (i.e. profit maximization by exploiting labor monopsony, minimum spend to defend the market power, etc).
> They both involve flushing cache to backing stores, and waiting for confirmation of the write.

No they don't. A fence only imposes ordering. It's instant. It can increase the chance of a stall when it forbids certain optimizations, but it won't cause a stall by itself.

CLWB is a small flush, but as tanelpoder explained the more recent CPUs did not need CLWB.
Ha! The closest I've been to meeting Magnus Carlsen is that one time we both happened to be standing next to each other at the urinals. He adheres to normal urinal etiquette, if that's anything to go by.
A little obscure, but Firefox still does not support HDR video playback on Windows and Linux. I understand they very recently introduced support on Mac finally, which is a good sign.
I didn't understand how nuclear reactors work until I was in grad school and even then I was aghast. You'd think if we could split an atom, we'd have a better way to make electricity than to make steam to turn a turbine. Of course, there are RTGs, and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betavoltaic_device

Nos. 1 and 3 will win you the developer pico-vote while royally pissing everyone else off.

No. 2 is the matter at hand. You need a cut-off for the multiple browsers requirement. If you don’t, you’ll find contracts to CronyCorp for testing every site against the CronyCorp browser.
Chimps are considered by many more dangerous (to humans) than tigers or lions.

Because they are smart. With some luck you can trick a tiger. Much harder with a chimp.
This kind of thing will probably never fly, because Americans expect that they can break the law and in most cases will not suffer any consequences. Anything that threatens this would be, in their eyes, oppression. Imagine if you immediately got a text informing you of your $300 speeding ticket within a few seconds of you going a mile per hour over. People would riot.

However, Americans expect that the law is enforced vigorously upon other people, especially people they hate. If AI enabled immediate immigration enforcement on undocumented migrants, large portions of the population would injure themselves running to the voting booth to have it added to the Constitution.

It's the whole expectation that for my group the law protects but does not bind, and for others it binds but does not protect.

> They 'don't care' because they know that the M series processors were coming and now there is a built in death counter coming for Hackintoshes

No, they don't care because they don't think about it at all. Hackintosh's numbers never mattered, it's always been too onerous to maintain even when it was at its easiest.
There is corruption everywhere (though obviously not uniformly distributed). It requires active, dynamic efforts to counteract. If you don't see some evidence of successful prosecution, that itself is informative.
It might be this, it might be that, it might be all sorts of things. The point is you have to know what it is for each scenario, then you have to know where to go change it, then you have to know what the variable name is. Or you can know "thisisunsafe" which, while not being something you'll find using the settings for your saturday reading material, is something easily found and universally applicable to all situations without simultaneously turning every other connection you make into a security risk.

It's a great hidden feature just like Firefox has shift+right click/double right click opening the native context. No amount of "well you can just put this in the console in these cases or this in the console in those cases" makes these kinds of features any less useful.
Beeper (Cloud?) is based on Matrix, so I guess that's the open standard you're looking for?

You are, if anything, underselling the point. AI will allow a future where every person will have their very own agent following them.

Or even worse, as there are multiple private addtech companies doing surveillance, and domestic and foreign intelligence agencies, so you might have a dozen AI agents on your personal case.

Nuclear isn't just reliable and faithful and just keeps on plugging away- the modern reactor designs require extraordinary engineering to be reliable and require continuous maintanence and monitoring.
I was once asked how I got to where I am, where others in my situation might not have, my response was: “Parents that gave a damn”. It wasn’t about pressuring me, it was about recognising my interest in computers, and fostering that interest as much as was financially possible given our circumstances (which were often dire). My parents aren’t technical, but they did what they could, and I wouldn’t be the engineer I am without that.

Ask HN: Is it better to specialize in economic downturns?
When I apply to companies these days, most recruiters want to see experience relevant to the role that I'm applying for. I don't get callbacks for backend roles even though I've been a full-stack engineer.

Companies like Google now do team matching before the final round.

FB recruiter mentioned that you can have role-based interviews on the initial loop and final loop. So I could have different interviews depending on my specialization (frontend, backend, mobile, ar/vr).

I can understand that specialized interview processes make sense for senior+ roles, but I'm a mid-level full-stack generalist.

My main questions are:

1. Is there a shift in the industry in how interviews are being conducted?

2. Is it better to specialize in a specific role (frontend, backend, data engineer, ai/ml, ar/vr graphics) than to be a full-stack generalist?

3. Do specialized engineers have a better chance of landing (and/or retaining) jobs in the case of an economic downturn (layoffs)?

I feel that specializing seems to be the best path forward for me, but I'm curious if anyone else has sensed this shift or if I'm just wrong.
Since this article's dateline says "TOKYO" I am going to assume that this is real wasbi. Just a note to everyone out there thinking that they should eat more wasbi, unless you live in Japan, chances are slim that you have ever had real wasbi, what you have had is a dyed green horse radish paste.

There must be signals in the data about generated garbage, otherwise humans wouldn't be able to tell. Something like PageRank would be a game changer and potentially solve this issue.
That would also discourage me from setting it up, so I don't blame you, but just asking, was there not a docker compose somewhere for setting this up. It seems like that would make things a lot easier.
US government websites, as they exist, are often ancient, decrepit, and poorly funded. This will make them all worse and it will cost more. It will get in the way of people actually trying to interact with the government, and the leaders in the government will crap all over the project due to the angry calls they'll get from their constituents.

If we try to stick to pure ideals without any consideration for reality, reality will ignore us and move on. Or, to borrow an example from another field: in infosec, the most secure computer is the one that's never turned on.

Understated but true. Or I might modify to say if you care about the web, you don't run Chrome. For us to have a nice web, we need interoperability. And for that to happen, we need multiple players implementing a single standard.
It's 2023, why can't the iMessage app allow some user preferences. Christ.
The belief that somewhere, someone else will do the hard stuff?
Not if you're targeting a standard.

I worked on fibre channel networks at IBM. They were all about high touch customer service, and had great data gathering and would debug issues that ultimately were caused by some other vendor breaking the standard. After proving we were doing the right thing, our answer would always be to tell the customer to turn off the broken feature on their other vendor's device (other vendors would do things like inject fake ACKs for large transfers to reduce latency ("acceleration"), which is kind of a no-no in reliable networks. We lowered latency in a standard compliant way by using multiple concurrent exchanges that we put together at the application level).

We did test with some other vendors, but IIRC only at a fairly basic level, and didn't support any of their non-standard behavior. We just used them to validate our own compliance to standards.
I am so confused about this too. retool, tooljet, budibase - why is everyone doing this? Best I can figure out is that no one has found a pricing structure that works otherwise, which would be rather sad if true.
> There's no shame in it: academics have grad students, who at least sometimes get a mention in the acknowledgements.

In what field????? In fields I'm familiar, whoever does the research (i.e. the grad student or the postdoc) is the first author, helpers are co-authors and the PI i.e. the main academic who leads the lab is the last author. In what field PI is the first author and grad students "sometimes get acknowledgement"? That sounds like academic fraud.
I disagree, I would actually much prefer taxation on wealth and not distribution of income.

A healthy economy is one that there's a lot of money flowing from hand to hand. It's effectively how _value gets created_. The more people are spending, and the more money is being distributed, the better and more healthy the economy becomes.

An unhealthy economy is one that there's wealth being gathered and concentrated. One where spending, and receiving money is penalized. You can imagine taxes a form of penalization on money.

Furthermore, one of the most important use cases of the government under capitalism is protection of property. If you believe that's one of the most important jobs they're doing, then people with the most property (e.g. wealth), should be paying for that protection.

So, no I fundamentally disagree with you, and it seems like Matt does too if you read that piece. Wealth should be the form of taxation. This also means unrealized gains in stocks. It also means housing.

If we actually taxed wealth at the federal level, and got rid of income taxes, a lot of economic problems we're facing in the US would simply go away. Housing would literally not be able to get as expensive as it is right now because there would be an ongoing cost to maintain that price, driving the incentives to actively build more housing to reduce property values.

If you also did this, you'd really help in leveling the playing field. Having a rich family would still put you ahead of others, but not by the egregious levels it does today.

SQLite Myths: Linear writes don't scale
The Ghostwriter, but he is of no help.
From what I understand, it’s more like requiring each programmer to write implementations of arrays, dictionaries, date/time handling code, float parsing and printing, etc.

Once the language designers had figured out the hardware was now capable enough to make libraries useful, it only took one programmer to do that tedious work. After that all other programmers could reuse that work.

This will be similar: once a large body of definitions and proofs has been built, mathematicians will be able to reuse higher-level constructs to build proofs for their theorems.

It likely also will be similar in that there will be multiple approaches to this with one (or a few; it could be that one system works best/will have the largest set of definitions for one branch of mathematics, while another ‘wins’ in another) ending up victorious.
This won't change until our government starts punishing (not 10M fines) hacked companies for leaking private data.

This looks quite neat; it reminds me of TurtleSpaces, a great Logo-based environment. Question (and sorry if the answer's evident, but a cursory glance at the website didn't solve it): are there any examples with source code we can look at, written by enthusiasts and/or people familiar with Enu-big or small, to learn about idioms, "best way to do X", etc? I've found that understanding programs written by my betters is a pretty good way of becoming acquainted with something new.
