>As software rots, multinationals may become the only players capable of making websites.

They are already the decision makers of who open source software is for.

The thing people fail most at realizing is that you can't have a lot of rich people with a lot of power without having a lot of poor people with no power. The interests of the former will always effectively undermine the latter.

Similarly, you can't have software that serves multinationals and regular people at the same time because the interests of the former will always effectively undermine the latter.

Are attacks like this—ransomware—always aimed at Windows-based systems? Is that the common denominator?

I've noticed that most Internet attacks are Windows-based but somehow "Microsoft" or "Windows" never makes it into the news copy. I've wondered if MS has a massive marketing/legal outreach to make sure that doesn't happen. And to make it sound like "this can happen anywhere", and "no computer is 100% attack-proof".

How in-house does it need to be? The actual physical facilities aren't being shut down; they're just under new ownership and management. And Nippon Steel is located in Japan, which is such a dependable ally of the US that I'm politely trying not to use the phrase "vassal state."

Also in the US, we've got Steel Dynamics (producing 75% as much as US Steel), Cleveland-Cliffs (approximately tied with US Steel), and Nucor (about 157% as much). That's not the whole story, of course -- Nucor primarily recycles scrap steel, for example, as opposed to smelting ore -- but I'm not really seeing a crisis anywhere on the horizon here. (My opinion in this paragraph is less confident than the first, so I'm open to correction from someone who knows more about the steel industry.)

Right, I think I get it now, like benpacker said in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38685760 it's a way to map the kubernetes API to the fly platform (basically). Which makes a lot of sense!

Thanks. I've sold two companies, and gotten a pressurized squeeze from a major player (which we said no to - we were profitable so didn't have runway problems), but I've never heard of dropping an offer valuation at the last minute.

Nasty business!
There are permanent staff. The issue of time isn't any individual regulator - it's that there's regulators in every country they operate in. And the company is negotiating with them all simultaneously - figuring out what would make the EU say yes, and then taking that to the US and see if that will let them say yes, then going to Japan and making sure they'll say yes, then going to India - and you don't want some of them knowing that everyone else has already said yes, because then they'll hold out to get some last special thing.

These are complicated negotiations, in many complicated jurisdictions.

How quick do you think they should be? For everyone to understand the potential ramifications and consult appropriate industry experts? Let competitors et al file briefs?

People publish AI generated crap on Amazon because they make money from it and Amazon allows it because they also make money from it. People publish AI generated websites because they make money from it, and Google eagerly put blogspam on top because Google makes money from it.

The shadow libraries make no money by sharing books, instead the librarians risk prison for doing it. So there is no incentive for them to include AI spam books. There is also very little incentive for creators of AI spam books to try to have them included in the shadow libraries.

Its possible for thr broad medical community to not be in line with the latest research (diagnostic criteria are somewhat trailing), and evidence of that would be the strongest possible support for a claim that the broad community was wrong (because it had not incorporated the latest relevant research.)

Now, sure, its useless for convincing the speaker (though not others who may be witnessing the debate) to bring out research evidence if the argument is “the medical community is wrong, and my source for that is my own unsupported belief bolstered by a conspiracy theory that the truth is actively suppressed from publication.”
Why? If you're using something like Fly you should 100% always have a fallback plan ready. You are gambling using smaller players to get cheaper services or some other benefit the big players don't offer in exchange for the very real possibility of a random day they announce 30 days til they permanently shutdown with zero migration path.

I don't think it's in poor taste to acknowledge exactly what everyone should understand and be prepared for.
> These guys are pushing back on outsiders setting arbitrary limits on technological progress.

I think the reason a lot of us dislike e/acc is that they are also pushing back on insiders setting extremely prudent and well-reasoned limits on the negative externalities technocapitalists can unload on the rest of us.
> roughly parity.

There is quite a bit of variability in these things among say G7 or G20 countries. Americans on the whole typically have higher net, higher volatility, lower security, for example. It gets complicated when you try and do "whole picture" comparisons (e.g. how to factor in state pensions/health care/etc.) but the dominance of the US economy worldwide and $ function as a reserve pays a very real divided to nearly everyone.

For me, the interesting part is the human who took the time to learn and apply the skill, along with the backstory of that human's choices (e.g. making a carving to honor a loved pet).

In the olden times, you could enjoy an account of a story like that on Facebook because it was supposed to be real (it often wasn't, but there was at least a kernel of truth).

IMHO there is too much arbitrary averaging (or selective non-averaging) going on without details on the methodology. Is the avg. number of minutes watched/listened on youtube/spotify the average of paying subscribers? Plus, video games priced at 60$ are the release price, where is the average retail price for this? Do people that pay $60 on a video game tend to play the game longer, or rather shorter? Etc...

To be fair, author acknowledges the numbers are probably incorrect, but there is too much going on without necessary details to do proper comparrison.
You have to appreciate the jokes in the complaint:

In short, the VectoIQ Board simply failed to look under the hood at Nikola—both figuratively and literally—completely abdicating their responsibilities to VectoIQ’s stockholders.
As an entertaining, mildly silly calculation:

Netflix, at “best” settings, streams 1-7 GB/hour [0]. At the highest public tier for AWS EC2 egress, that’s 5-35 cents/hour, which would not be amazing for Netflix’s bottom line. CloudFront is a bit better at 2-14 cents/hr.

Of course, Netflix surely doesn’t pay AWS retail prices, and Netflix doesn’t use AWS for streaming data anyway. But this does mean that any aspiring creator or startup that wants to try to collect its 50 cents/hr or so should either not deploy its streaming source in a big name cloud or should design it so it can be migrated off the big clouds quickly if the service takes off.

(Cloudflare R2 appears to be quite good for this purpose. So is a small fleet of collocated machines. A single low-end modern server streaming out 10Gbps accounts for several hundred dollars per hour of revenue, and you need to be truly successful indeed before anything resembling AWS’s internal infrastructure is needed to keep the pipes fed. Keep in mind that Netflix blogs about how their servers pump out streams at 40x that rate.)

That's interesting. Here in the States they use heat pumps in a similar fashion, except it's backed by heating coils (electric furnace). As you say, the heat pump is much more efficient - until it isn't. Then the system switches over to heating coils.

Where we have natural gas available we tend to just install a gas furnace and leave it at that.
> Don't think this is as big of a threat as someone like Samsung suing iPhone.

Samsung makes most of the displays Apple uses in iPhones and it's probably the most profitable deal Samsung has. They have a messy relationship but neither of them is going to rock the boat too much because no one else can meet Apple's demand and Samsung can't afford to lose that much revenue.
my interpretation of this is that the existence/disclosure of a vulnerability is entirely distinct from a data breach event (the SEC is mainly concerned with the latter)

> I wonder if Adobe is secretly happy about this.

I think they probably are. I follow Adobe closely and when the acquisition was announced I was pretty skeptical it would be net good for Adobe in the long-run. The problem wasn't the idea of buying Figma, it was the very rich price being paid. Adobe has a history of not doing a lot of big acquisitions (for it's size and massive cash position). When it does acquire big, Adobe is mostly strategic and a "value shopper", meaning they generally don't pay extremely high prices bid up by frothy auctions. This means Adobe must walk away from a lot of deals we never hear about over price. That's why the Figma deal struck me as so unusual.

In the >year since the deal was announced, it's started to look even less plausible to me. Despite being required to pay a large break-up fee, I suspect, Adobe's management is relieved.
Under water I always imagine that a biological revolution would be more likely, and technologies that evolve (so to speak) out of organisms that make deposits like coral. So you would have a "limestone age", followed by something harder. At some point metals would come into the picture, but it would likely look very different than our "tech tree"/
> I wonder if any of the ringleaders of the SPAC boom and bust will ever face charges.

Charges for what? SPACs are essentially a legal (operative word) pump-and-dump. We need legislation to fix this. But a lot of government insiders made off with millions as well, so is there incentive there?
The whole reason OpenReview was created was to innovate and improve on the peer review process. If you have ideas, reach out to the program chairs of the conference you're submitting to. Many of them are open to running experiments.
There are arguments for and against but for colour: D in GCC uses a shared frontend, which means it's not hard to maintain the frontend aspects — but that also means the frontend is a monoculture which is not very healthy at the moment.

If someone will pay you to do it I would do a new frontend — it's surprisingly little work to get something you can bootstrap with.
>We just need to sell them on this: keep your ICE if you want, we don't care as long as you get this cheap electrical econo-box.

Magnanimous

Sarcasm aside, keep in mind that cheap isn't cheap. Even "cheap" cars are often priced at the the annual takehome pay of most of the population. The only thing that made them "cheap" was cheap financing, which has gone away and isn't returning. If one introduces a geopolitics lens, it isn't returning for the same reason that Germany will no longer offer the subsidy. Which is a way of preferencing fossil fuels and their suppliers.

If the West is massively pro renewables, then why would Germany, specifically, do this? Why is the West so histrionic for "clean energy"? The assertion that politicians care about people and living spaces very much is the toughest sell.

Moving on: if governments want to disincentivize petroleum use without rank authoritarianism, soon they will have to subsidize or otherwise provide auto lending. Also, maybe offer subsidies for maintenance and charging.
They just got a billion dollars as a breakup fee. A billion dollars could be: $500M to early investors, $250M to the people that built the company, $400k each for anyone employed before the merger announcement, $100k each for anyone hired since, $50M under a pillow for safekeeping.

And that's without needing to give up ownership. Is that not a good 'exit'?

> Once again, this isn’t Apple stealing tech from Joe Shmoe. This is just standard legalistic BigCorp infighting, corporate backstabbing, brain drain/theft, etc.

Conversely, if Apple feels comfortable stealing from BigCorp, they will absolutely feel comfortable stealing from Joe Shmoe, which is why this issue should be treated seriously.

Apple needs to be incentivized so that if they're sitting down with a startup and considering if they should acquire and make the founder a VP or just go about stealing the technology that they should pick the former path because they've gotten burned in the past by doing the latter.

Isn't this just "Fake it until you make it"?

I don't personally believe people should do this, but it is a mantra often thrown around.
Lately it feels more like things that aren't "immediately in front of you" are getting dragged into conversations where they don't really make sense.

This year, my town had a referendum on whether to raise taxes to fund a public pool to replace a 70-year-old one that is falling apart. The public conversation was only focused on actual pros and cons of that particular project rather briefly, quickly devolving first into a general fight over development vs lack thereof, and from there to national economic policy, crime etc. And I have a distinct feeling that most people who actually voted ended up being swayed (one way or the other) by those arguments - the partisan alignment of support & opposition at the end was very blatant.
I have been deeply unimpressed with the ML conference track this last year... There's too many papers, too few reviewers, leading to an insane number of PhD student-reviewers. We've gotten some real nonsense reviews, with some real sins against the spirit of science baked into them.

For example, a reviewer essentially insisting that nothing is worth publishing if it doesn't include a new architecture idea and SOTA results... God forbid we better understand and simplify the tools that already exist!
For me the main value of reviews, kinda like ChatGPT, is a vague summarization. I read a few high rated ones and a few low rated ones and you can kinda tell based on what the reviews focus on is this the kinda book I’m likely to like?

Do the negative reviews focus on SJW topic I don’t care about? Do the negative reviews focus on opinions or do they focus on evaluating expertise/facts? do the positive reviews focus on world-building, writing, quality, or characters; what do they like about it? What do they compare it to?

Sometimes I do this when I’m 10 or 20% into a book and I’m trying to evaluate if I care enough to continue. I’ll see if other reviewers say the book picks up or slows down etc.
It’s a compelling story that’s fun to tell at parties. These are often 90% untrue. Seriously think of any historic “fun fact”, it’s probably mostly false.

The reality is much simpler. Pencils suck for long term record keeping. Grease pencils especially. A guy developed a space pen and asked NASA if they wanted it. They tested it and it worked pretty well, so they ordered a bunch. The Soviets then bought a bunch too by the way! But yeah that’s not nearly as fun as “dumb rich Americans over-engineer everything”.
I hoped someone would have additional data to add, thanks!

That is a pretty cynical take on what UX designers do. The PMs should be dealing with lists and spreadsheets, often they don’t and just tell the designer to just design the product in a mock.

The 45-Second Tool to Change Your Life
You've cherry-picked the single incident that Israel has been forthcoming about.

Everything I see has a very heavy and obvious bias in favour of Israel, even for the few stories they do choose to cover, e.g. "42 perished in airstrike" vs "3 IDF soldiers murdered by militant extremists". We also still see Western media repeating the falsehoods about beheaded babies, baked babies, mass rapes etc - even though Israel eventually admitted it wasn't true.

And that's aside from the absolute nonsense we've seen where anyone against the ethic cleansing is branded an anti-semite and risks cancrllation.

Israeli politicians are publicly calling for the total destruction of Gaza and relocation of anyone left, and for settling Gaza with Israelis - they're not even trying to hide it anymore, yet Western media is largely silent.
