the reality is that someone, somewhere, is going to have access like this. Depending on the industry and the type of data there's typically a separation of concerns.

For example, if you can get code into production you cannot have access to production data and vice-versa.

You'll also see data in different databases where no one has access to both. You'll also see things like this with the use of encryption keys, such as KEK vs DEK where no system has access to both.

typically speaking these compliance frameworks will have exemptions for "business need" and companies will try to drive a semi-truck through that hole. Whether they get away with it depends on multiple factors such as the size of the company and the auditor's mood.

It's almost like being "too big to fail". I have seen some absolutely heinous setups surrounding compliance related data that was allowed via "business need" because pulling that rug would cause the entire company to stop functioning. Generally when companies do things like this and they get to that size they'll spend years rectifying the problem because auditors will start giving them the stink-eye or they'll actually hire people who aren't comfortable with what they're doing.

it's all very messy, but don't assume that just because you have that kind of access that you should (and don't assume the reverse either). Without knowing more about what you do I couldn't say.

But for sure the other poster went quiet when I asked who the company was because they're fully aware they're on shaky ground. Which was my point in making that statement.
That's an awkward PEBCAK error.

No. Machines are neutral amplifying human nature and activities.

Humanity once Ressource starved becomes inherently oppressive as art and experiments compete with human mouths for survival.
computers just amplify that retardation once it occurs.
Couple of questions:

1) What exactly qualifies someone to be a "Head of Diversity"? She has a BA in Poli Sci and a Masters of Public Administration. No formal training in anything HR related. It seems like every job she's ever held has been the same - Sr Manager/Director/Sr Director of DEI at Viacom, Cox, Nike, Facebook.

2) What exactly does a Head of Diversity do? Other than hire a consultant to develop an Employee Diversity Training course and establish metrics/targets for hiring by diversity category. Seems like you could just hire the consultant directly and then let them go after their month or two of work is done.

The whole idea is we as humans who aren’t aligned to each other - waging wars, spreading lies, censoring information, committing genocides are going to align a superintelligence seems laughable.

Competition and evolution is law of nature.

The future isn’t one super aligned AI but 1000s of AI models and their humans trying to get an upper hand in never ending competition that is nature. Whether it is personal, corporations, or countries.
I wonder if it was messed with in editing or something, like maybe they have a style guide rule against long sentences.

I'm not complaining about free software offered to world for free. I'm curious how a leader would justify an investment like this? I have engineers reaching to me and asking me to all sort of things. My job is to justify it for the business. Making this costs more than a million dollar if their engineers are paid like ours. Then how you do this? How do you get budget for this?

In this comparison of public market capitalizations, I don’t think that is as relevant as the difference in global utility offered by the companies on the exchange. For example, the business with France’s highest market cap, LVMH, could vanish tomorrow and make almost no difference in utility to anyone except LVMH’s employees and vendors.
I don't understand fanatically chasing smaller image sizes when JPEG was good enough for the web of the 90's. There must be a different reason to throw some of the highest paid engineers in the world at WebP and it ain't generosity.
What exactly are you missing when hipifying your CUDA codebase? For most of the software I've looked at this has been a breeze, mostly consisting of srtting up toolchains.

Or do you mean the profiler tooling?

I hear everyone say that AMD doesn't have the software, but I'm a little confused --- have you tried HIP? And have you tried the automatic CUDA - HIP translation? What's missing?

What if the diff adds a new linter rule, should we only run it on the linter config file?

What if the linter uses more context than a single file, a type-checker for example or even just checking the correct number of arguments (regardless of type) are passed to an imported function - or that that symbol is indeed even callable? Should we only run the linter on the caller's file, or the callee's, when they haven't both changed?

The median isn't a good indicator for inequality. The Gini index is higher in the US than in most European countries (although the difference is admittedly not huge).

I think Europe in general just manages to take care of the most vulnerable better. You can't bankrupt yourself because you have cancer - the plot of Breaking Bad doesn't make sense in Europe.
I posted this inspired by a recent comment about ... comments (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38653845).

Der Spiegel effectively terminated comments to specific articles and replaced them by a central place called "Debatte" (debate) where you can discuss matters in a heavily moderated place. You can't even start a new conversation but can propose a new topic for debate when you have enough "karma". The editors then decide whether to open up your proposal to general debate.

I guess it's a lot of work to moderate all comments when there are lot of toxic comments (although the Vox Coral forum software allows to use Perspective API) but still think it's a loss not to have a free/open possibility to comment on a specific article.

Also former commenters lost all of their former contributions and can't access them any longer.

The German Süddeutsche Zeitung has given up on comments quite a while ago. There are still comments in Die Zeit and the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung as far as I know.

EDIT: I also heavily editorialized the title of the submitted article because they tried not to make a big deal of the transition and buried it in the general community guidelines.
if you have one file that every single file across the repo imports in a way and you make changes to that file, you might run the linter for the entire repo. But again, how likely is this scenario?
Probably controversial on HN but I'm thinking the same about Apple, I could certainly imagine a phone landscape without them. Utility is subjective at the end of the day.
This cuts against WebP more: all of Google’s marketing was “it’s a third smaller!!!!” and then when you looked they were comparing it to unoptimized libjpeg outout and using computational metrics like SSIM which only crudely approximate what humans notice about image quality.

I did the same comparison the author did when WebP came out but used an optimized JPEG encoder and found the same conclusion: when you produced subjectively equivalent images, the savings were more like -10% to +15% and for web sites which didn’t get Google-scale traffic the performance impact was negative since it made caching less effective and you had to support an entire new toolchain.
I went into the office yesterday and forgot my power brick at home. I just got a new MacBook Pro with M2 Max so I figured I'd see how long I could go on battery before needing to borrow someone's charger.

I started the day at 7:30, worked most of the day on it with multiple apps open - Chrome, Safari, Teams, Slack, VS Code, IntelliJ, DataGrip, Postman, Outlook, etc. Connected to a wireless keyboard and mouse, and streaming music to my AirPods for a few hours of the day. Most of my actively used apps were IntelliJ, Chrome, and Teams (admittedly not doing a LOT of building/running Java cause I was resolving build issues for a chunk of the day). I ended the day at 4:00 with 47% battery remaining.

That was unheard of on my last i9 MBP that could barely survive a few hours on battery, even when it was new.
> The conductor saw this and refused to re-open the doors even though the guy seemed to be visibly distraught and maybe even in pain.

I'm not generally a litigious person (at least I hope not), but that sounds like a law suit...

It's one thing to refuse to open the doors just to let a latecomer on board, but it's quite another for a person in a position of authority (and I would argue with a duty of care) to harm someone or put them in danger like this.
Very true. I've found new value in HN by rediscovering the new section. There are a lot of interesting topics posted to HN but I tend to have more interest in the comments/discussion. I realise now that I may actually be the minority in terms of how I use HN.

> Bionicle/Hero Factory was by far the best they had for creative play.

I disagree with this premise. Play comes in countless forms, and I think this statement places roleplay above other forms of youthful creativity. For some kids, the roleplay of Lego action figures was a huge draw. Other kids play in different ways.

Some kids (like me) enjoyed Bionicle at first, but got bored of action figures by age ~8. Bionicle's lack of compatibility with most other Lego products meant that I was left with a bunch of parts I never really played with much (except for the ripcord disk-launcher things. I still get a kick out of those!) For me, the next chapter was Technic, because I liked making things that move. Fast forward a bit, and Technic led to Mindstorms, Mindstorms led to FIRST Robotics and Arduino, and now I'm a firmware engineer.

Does Technic have less creative value than Bionicle? I think that's an impossible question to answer. It depends on the kid. Any given object has as much creative power as a child's mind projects into it.

> On the whole it's a disappointing downward trajectory.

Yes and no.

On one hand, today's Lego action figures are pathetic compared to the Bionicle/Hero Factory heyday. It's also easy to mock cheap, commercialized dust collectors like the Brickheadz series. Part of me is sad to see Mindstorms dying off, but I also recognize that, even at its peak (NXT), it was totally inaccessible to most kids.

On the other hand, some things have gotten a lot better than they were 20 years ago. Lego's "Friends" theme is by far the best girl-targeted product line they've ever made. Belleville was the "girl" product line of my youth, and it was was cynical, condescending trash that was so thematically paper-thin that even my 6-year-old little sister saw straight through it.
> From my understanding such a program is fundamentally against wayland design philosophy

Against the philosophy but, I think, not completely impossible. Wayland is “just a protocol”, so somebody could write a Wayland server that runs in a Wayland window. Then, you could draw anywhere in the outer window, including outside of the inner one(s).

Make the outer window not have a title bar, etc. and run in full screen, and you’re done.

Isn’t that what XWayland does, except for the fact that it runs X Windows windows inside a full screen Wayland window?

Build something of personal interest to you. Start by looking for similar open-source projects online. Look at the online posts of the authors. Then look for the papers that you think will be useful for your project. Before you know it, you'll become an expert in your area of interest.

Above all, be wary of programmatic lists that claim to track the most important recent papers. There's a ridiculous amount of hype/propaganda and citation hacking surrounding new AI research, making it hard to discern what will truly stand the test of time. Tomas Mikolov just posted about this.[a]

Still, the author could do more to highlight the differences using zooms and annotations. The banding in the background is particularly strong and would help their point to highlight visually to the reader.
The masks only need to be aligned during manufacturing.

The chiplets need to stay aligned as temperatures change. Much more difficult.
Duplo seems much more in the spirit of Lego sets from the '80s. Builds used fewer, but larger pieces. I enjoyed playing with the older sets because you could tear them apart and put them back together much more easily.

Newer sets look nice, but IMO are much less fun to play with. My kids still like building Lego sets, but our Duplos get played with more often.

I setup a domain from name cheap and pointed a subdomain towards my routers IP. Then I VPN using Unifi to control it. I cancelled the domain and use the IP but I’ve found it does change from time to time.

Unifi’s firewall blocks a ton of IPs whenever I open a port for plex or whatever. I’ve tried to fight back against US providers letting anyone with a VM run port scans but they only care about getting paid.
VP8 was never competitive so most of the energy went into VP9, which did beat H264.
Honestly, for these cases focus on JXL. It supports lossless re-packaging of existing JPEG with compression benefits, more or less matches AVIF while having much options for much better compression times.

But if JXL isn't an option, definitely AVIF.

Yes, and if you maintain it very well you will never have accidents. That's why Poland never has railway accidents, perfect maintenance and everything 'just works' /s.
Fair enough. In fact, I do eat less meat than I used to.

However, I think calls for major changes to lifestyles are just wrong. We should all turn vegan, give up our cars, live in dense housing, etc, etc.. It's just not going to happen, and making these demands is (IMHO) counterproductive.

All the more so, because these demands are often made by people flying to climate conferences in their private jets, where the menu offers wagyu bugers, brisket, steak, etc. (Yes, that was COP28).

You've got to find measures that are realistic, that people will actually follow. And the politicians need to lead by example.
This is a great answer to the parent question, I'll just add that I (try) to provide both a database/sql driver, and a lower level direct mapping of the SQLite C API.

Pretty much the only thing the lower level wrapper does for you is simplify some of the memory management inherent to a C API (who allocates? who frees? for everything even something as trivial as an error message: GC+copying handles lightweight types like strings and errors, io.Closer is used for everything else).

At the same time, I also made a serious effort to make many SQLite features (like blob IO, nested transactions, JSON, time handling) easy to access for users of the database/sql driver.
SRE's through Error Budgets can also block stuff. They just use a different tool and metric.

Also, the SREs should be knowledgable enough to work on the fix, not just block.

Why aren't we building "products" from lego rather than seeing them as toys? The promise of 3D-printers haven't really played out, but it would be interesting if we had a material like lego to build some of the things we need. Lego is infinitely customizable and each brick would be potentially useful in any product that you would build. Of course there are some obvious downsides but I think the idea of an ecosystem of standardized, "open" and adaptable materials is super interesting.
If you have to completely ignore the historical and present status of racial discrimination in order to make your argument, it's not quite as effective as you might think it is.
Another version, IIRC true story, from a small European country. A legendary artist and book illustrator (real person) meets a client in a cafeteria. The client says, I want a drawing with this, this and this, and it should carry a feeling of something like this.

The artist takes out a drawing pad and says to the client, would you excuse me for 15 minutes, I need to draw in silence and solitude.

The client leaves and sits to a different table.

After 15 minutes, the artist hands him over the drawing and names a price.

So much? cries the client. This is quite expensive. You only drew for 15 minutes.

Well, says the artist. In order to draw this in 15 minutes, I have been practicing drawing for at least 5 hours every day for the last 50 years.

Absolutely love this story (and the mentioned artist as well, he was a huge inspiration for many).

Yes! Where's the red underlines and diffs? I can see the background banding, but the foreground looks the same at a glance except that some of them look ambiguously "off" in ways that could just be placebo.

You'd think a visual artist would be more interested in visual communication and not just a wall of text with un-annotated photos.

> What I'm getting this from? Reading the news for the last 40 years or so. Watching the new generation and their education levels. Seeing how science is now 'the enemy' rather than the future.

You're in a pit, friend. Yes, there is some backsliding in a few spots, but overall education levels are higher than ever and amazing science is happening right freakin' now (JWST, asteroid sample return missions, a real shot at putting humans on the moon again, MRNA vaccines, CRISPR...). Nothing is ever perfect and it's good to recognize that fact, but don't focus only on the bad things or you'll miss all the good things that are happening all around you.
