Trevor Milton's infamous "html5 supercomputer" quote often gets shared in discussions about Nikola, and for good reason. It's one of my all-time favorite bullshit quotes:

"The entire infotainment system is a HTML 5 super computer," Milton said. "That's the standard language for computer programmers around the world, so using it let's us build our own chips. And HTML 5 is very secure. Every component is linked on the data network, all speaking the same language. It's not a bunch of separate systems that somehow still manage to communicate." [1]

This is how I think about my food when I want to eat out. Most meals are now $10+, give or take, and I start to think, "that's one month of YouTube Premium, is it really worth it to eat this?". A "subscription" of eating out often starts adding up real quick compared to my own cooking.

It's comparing static typing as exists in Haskell or OCaml to static typing as exists in C++ or Typescript.

I think it's funny how MA's original post focused so aggressively on "obstacles to progress" like safety regulation and sustainability concerns. It seems to me that the real obstacles to progress are the things that take up most peoples' time: work, paying bills, and getting educated. From where I'm standing the surest way to create a techno-renaissance would be to give people tons of free time and free education. The historical examples I'm aware of seem to indicate that when educated people have more time to recreate, they also have more time to innovate and invent. Weird how it's just the FDA or EPA that's the problem, and not all the pointless make-work that most people perform in order to pay rent and generate passive income for their employing corp's owners.
This is a guess (I have read some of the paper but to me it does not seem to explain), but presumably you work backwards from the result you want. There is some vector that comes out of the classifier model that would represent cat, and another that would represent dog; you get the difference between these two models, and work back through the layers of matrix multiplication finding places where small perturbations in the input data force the classifier to make the exact errors you need.
That's possible, but in general action games are shorter (unless padded with "open world") - e.g. all recent Tomb Raider games are around 12h mark, horror games average around 9h etc.

Since I can't filter data by "AAA titles only" I'm assuming that on average they are no different in length than all games in general - under 20h to complete. Add average completion percentage of less than 50% it gives you average play time per title of less than 10h.

> (which is part of the basis of Firefly's success – significantly cleaner legal provenance on their training data).

Yeah... I mean the pre-trained text encoder Firefly uses is filled with copyrighted, unlicensed-for-express-purpose training data.

Firefly is successful in the same sense that DocuSign is, in that it is selling a holistic social experience, but I think maybe don't opine on "legal provenance on their training data" until you have seen the whole pipeline with your own eyes. Sophisticated people sort of know Adobe's claims are bullshit, but what exactly do you expect the community to do, speculate on the exactly zero evidence Adobe has shown of how any of their stuff works?

Anyway, I am pretty sure Adobe is delighted they are not paying $20b for something that is worth way, way less. Like maybe $500m at most.

Meanwhile the people using Figma at many companies are getting laid off. Etsy, Bytedance, Unity Spotify, Salesforce all made massive UX designer cuts.

The real question is, is the thing people are using Figma for even worth $20b? No, no way. Figma users work in the Making Bugs department: they make new buggy things nobody asked for, that aren't lists or spreadsheets but should just be lists and spreadsheets, which makes everything worse. There is nowadays positive ROI to doing less Figmaing. In my opinion there has always been more ROI to doing less Figmaing, to straight up not having those people around and not gathering so many opinions on designing lists from so many stakeholders. That holistic experience is expensive in many ways, and while again you can be successful delivering that, it doesn't mean it makes sense.

Just look at the Spotify app. It's a hot abject mess of absolute garbage UI. They have been diehard Figma users for years. They are the prime example of Figmafication ruining something extremely simple. It's fucking lists! Lists are not worth $20b.
This is wonderful.

Secure transport protocols all do some kind of handshake to set up a session, agree on keys, etc. Modern secure transport protocols (everything since SSL2) authenticate the handshake, so a MITM can't just edit the messages and, like, stick both sides on the NULL cipher (don't have a NULL cipher, though).

Ever since Kocher and SSL 3.0, the gold standard for handshake authentication has been to keep a transcript of all the handshake messages, and just hash them to fingerprint the entire handshake. You can look at Noise for a streamlined, slick version of the same concept.

SSH does something else: it looks at the handshake as a vehicle for setting up a DH-style key exchange; that's all it's for, everything else happens inside the secure transport that key exchange provides. So instead of doing a transcript hash, SSH picks out the handshake values that will end up being inputs to the key exchange, and hashes those.

The problem is: SSH also does implicit sequence numbers; receivers keep track of how many messages they've received, senders keep track of how many they've sent. Not only that, but SSH has (for reasons passing understanding) a NOP message (`IGNORE`). `IGNORE` carries no data used to do key generation, so it has no impact on the handshake authentication --- but it does impact sequence numbers.

Result: MITM attackers can set sequence numbers to arbitrary values (by injecting `IGNORE`s in the handshake), and then edit out subsequent messages (by just not sending them). If you're using ChaPoly (and often if you're using CBC), the protocol will sync up and keep going. You can use this to, for instance, snipe out extension messages (for things like keystroke timing mitigation) from the beginning of an SSH session.

This is a pretty obvious problem! It's absolutely not something you can just accept from a secure transport protocol. And you could look at SSH and SSL3 and see "SSH is doing something really different and less sophisticated than SSL3". But it took until 2023 for someone to do the legwork to figure out how broken it was.
I didn't say there was. I said it was about value, as in creating something someone else wishes to acquire.

> Yes. Roslyn, Mono and some Mono-like thing from Unity to compile it into C++.

Roslyn is more like the next gen compiler and will be included in Mono once it’s ready to replace msc. I view it as closer to polonius because it’s an evolutionary step to upgrade the previous compiler into a new implementation. It’s still a single reference implementation.

> Mono is still a thing

I think you misunderstood my point. It had started as a fork but then Microsoft adopted it by buying Xamarin. It’s not totally clear to me if it’s actually a fork at this point or if it’s merged and shares a lot of code with .NET core. I could be mistaken but Mono and .Net core these days also share quite a bit of code.

> rebuild can build typescript code

Yes, there are plenty of transpilers because the language is easy to desugar into JavaScript (intentionally so - TS stopped accepting any language syntax extensions and follows ES 1:1 now and all the development is in the typing layer). That’s very different from a forked implementation of the type checker which is the real meat of the TS language compiler.

> The second most popular TS compiler probably

It’s a transpiler and not a compiler. If TS had substantial language extensions on top of JS that it was regularly adding, all these forks would be dead in the water.

> That’s not true. There are multiple JDKs and even more JVMs

I meant to say they’re the only ones with any meaningful adoption. All the other JDKs and JVMs are much more niche and often benefit from living in a niche that is often behind on the adoption curve (i.e. still running Java 8 or something or are willing to stay on older Java versions because there’s some key benefit in the other version that is operationally critical).

> Good thing Java has specs with multiple versions, so that you can target a version…

Good for people implementing forks, less good for people living within the ecosystem in terms of having to worry about which version of the compiler to support with their library. For what it’s worth Rust also has language versions but it’s more like an LTS version of the language whereas Java versions come out more frequently & each implementation is on whatever year they wanted to snapshot against.
Consciousness Does Not Require a Self
The cause of both of these problems is that society at large is completely hooked on free content. Nobody wants to pay for anything on a screen, and why would they if they can get it for free? So content producers are forced to sell adspace, and now "user engagement" is their top priority, and the quality of their content drops and they adopt user-hostile patterns to "force" engagement.

None of these problems will get better until 1) consumers pay for things they want, and waaaaaaay more importantly, 2) producers produce content that consumers are willing to pay for. So, it may just never happen.
It certainly sounds like it's doing that.

Though if you're an expert in a subject you ask it about, you can see when it transitions from "knowledge of the subject" to "Your uncle who made a living hustling pool and can tell a story made of nothing but whoppers of lies, sounding like the most honest person you've ever met."

It's reasonable to assume it does the same thing over subjects you know less about.

> You will suffer from the "symptoms" of ADHD.

If one accepts, for the sake of argument, your description is true and supported by evidence, you still haven't supported your claim of overdiagnosis, or even explained the symptoms, just defined an equivalence.

Now, if you could also justifiably claim that a substantial and definable in advance, on other basis than treatment response, subset of those people will not respond to ADHD treatment, you’d have a decent cases that ADHD was overly broadly defined and that its diagnostic criteria swept in at least two distinct subpopulations that can and should be distinguished diagnostically, and one of which should be considered to have something different than ADHD.

I don't think OP meant "sway" in that sense.

I agree. My own most influential paper received strong rejects the first time we submitted it, and rightfully so, I think. In retrospect, we didn't do a good job motivating it, the contributions weren't clearly presented, and the way we described was super confusing. I'm genuinely grateful for it because the paper that we eventually published is so much better (although the core of the idea barely changed), and it's good because of the harsh reviews we received the first time around. The reviews themselves weren't even particularly "insightful", mostly along the lines of "this is confusing, I don't understand what you're doing or why you're doing it", but sometimes you just really need that outside perspective.

I've also reviewed and rejected my share of papers where I could tell there is a seed of a great idea, but the paper as written just isn't good. It always brings me joy to see those papers eventually published because they're usually so much better.

Got it, that makes sense that its not well established. I saw from your profile that this is actually something you are studying, which is very cool! I've always wondered what the examples of this (predatory pricing -> drive out competition -> jack up prices) happening in practice are? I know Uber is the ur-example but that feels different from something like pure a saas?

I wonder if as long as there is VC money out there, the viability of this strategy is limited because the moment incumbents (even ones with overwhelming market share) try to jack up prices, they immediately create an opportunity for a startup to undercut them.
I wonder if any of the ringleaders of the SPAC boom and bust will ever face charges. Close to a thousand companies took the SPAC route to go public between 2019-2022, with 613 in 2021 alone. As of early 2023 the average returns for SPAC investors are -62% (https://yalejreg.com/bulletin/was-the-spac-crash-predictable...). Meanwhile the financiers and founders/VCs/other insiders made off with billions, all without the pesky SEC getting in the way.
imho. (!) FOSS every time ...

even if its far worse than a comparable proprietary solution ... as long as it fits my use-case :))

and especially as a company i should pay in one form or another for either solution!!

as a private person this is optional for me: but no FOSS-project will reject a donation or an order of some of its merchandise - if available ;)

In my experience, polarization has been in decline in Europe for a few years. It started rising in the aftermath of the financial crisis and the refugee crisis, but the farce around Brexit and the Russian invasion of Ukraine tempered it. People are again willing to work within the system rather than trying to replace it with something radically different.

Germany is a bit of a special case due to their history. They still can't cope with anything that looks even remotely similar to fascism.
No, they can still vet, just doing so would make them less money. That is their problem, not yours or mine. If they can’t figure out a way to vet at scale, then they don’t deserve that scale.

Most of us could be more profitable if we decided to act unethically or illegally. Serving scam adverts (and my YouTube and Google adverts appear to be substantially more scam than not) is Alphabet saying they care more about profit than anything else and they should, quite frankly, be punished for it, both through things like fines from advertising standards bodies, and by more people taking matters into their own hands by using Adblock. I personally would also vote for any politician who put laws into place to make executives personally liable if their platforms are found to not do enough to get and combat fraud and scams on their platforms, because these companies actively profit from these scams through advertisement revenue.

Speaking from experience with software engineering which might not apply everywhere, but complexity is one of those things that’s often easy to point out and very difficult to get rid of. It’s often a form of organizational disease where a ton of people’s jobs are tied to maintaining or introducing new complexity - once it becomes entrenched, watch out. Requires good (and rare) leadership to pull out of this.
