It's also likely that the conversation about the ski resorts was preceded by (or concurrent with) people Googling around about these things, or visiting ski related topics on FB, etc.
can someone please enumerate what so many people like and admire about Sam Altman?

as far as I can tell, his career was:

1. get VC funding for his silly startup, which goes nowhere and is shut down
1. get a job at Y Combinator handing out other people's money
1. get sacked from Y Combinator for unclear reasons
1. get a job at OpenAI as the CEO, not a product or engineering person

what particular things has he, personally, done that make him so popular and admired on this site?
Sure, but regardless of input format, the test in GP's comment would indicate that October 22, 2021 is not before November 21, 2021.

The right test is something like "year < 21 || year == 21 && (month < 11 || month == 11 && (day <= 21))". And yes, probably refactor that logic for clarity, but from this form you can see that it is not equivalent to the test above.
Don’t frame it as if we have been experimenting like dispassionate scientists. Wannabe socialist upstarts have been meddled with to stop the “contagion” and to benefit the corporations of whatever country (banana republics) instead of the natives.

Thank you but I wish you were not doing it during your night time. Let someone in their timezone for whom it's daytime do it. Insist on it, refuse being exploited. Take this opportunity to tell your company to hire the time timezones where it's day during your night. If it's not important enough for them then they anyway don't need to you remain awake at night. Don't harm yourself. It's not just losing sleep, that leads to harmful effects in your body that keep showing for long and some damages might not even be reversible.

It's not bravery, it's not being a hero as many are putting in comments - it's just plain exploitation if you are awake at night doing this.

Your health and wellbeing is not worth any money and definitely not worth someone's shopping cart and checkout page working smoothy over the holidays when your Western colleagues just took off en masse. Not even close. I know a lot of you would be from a third world country like me (yes, that's a thing!). Stay strong and work for this exploitation to end.
There are many failure modes, and by the time you show up... the entrenched incompetence will constrain the options within current project inertia and budgets.

Usually, it is better to branch a separate "new" team in another space, functionally deprecate the old project one feature at a time, and jettison the previous team including the manager after 6 months of uptime.

Trying to untangle a mess often takes 7 times longer than simply re-building a better version with well defined use-cases. =)
> so a restrictive DMARC policy (p=reject; adkim=s)

This isn't how DMARC works. Valid SPF OR DKIM will validate a message. So unless you drop your SPF policy DMARC will still pass. And unfortunately if you don't have a good SPF policy many mail servers will send your messages to the spam folder, so there isn't a good way to have only DKIM set up.

There are some discussions about requiring DKIM independent of SPF, but nothing published (nevermind adopted) yet.
I’m a little confused about that idea because it seems like as the article describes it, this locks out third party advertisers from using third-party cookies while giving Google a loophole for their own advertising business.

How many centuries do you think is an acceptable timeframe to quote people when they want a problem solved? Right now, we're about a century and half out from when Black Americans were first recognized as people, about 3/4 of a century out from when the last slaves were freed, and less than half a century past living in an overt Apartheid state. If you look at the rich and powerful, the vast majority of them started from a position that was simply impossible for POC at the time.

Each generation benefits from the prosperity of the last, giving them a leg up over those without that advantage. Over time, random chance may reduce the resulting advantage to below the noise floor, but how long should those affected be expected to wait?

Or maybe we can try to remedy the situation, now, for the living. Overt diversity initiatives try to solve the problem that someone from a marginalized group is likely to be less qualified than their unmarginalized peers because they've had fewer opportunities to become qualified exactly because of that marginalization. If you don't take corrective action, then you just perpetuate the problem.

So, if you still are opposed to corrective action: How many centuries is enough?

With the future of the open web and privacy at stake, it's imperative that we stop letting the IT department or some random web service from dictating our choice of web browsers based on their convenience. If something doesn't work on Firefox, we should be collectively putting pressure on those in charge, letting them know that their laziness and lame excuses amount to forcing us to install spyware on our system.
Knowing nothing about how beeper provides its services, does it require that they are given your icloud login credentials so they can login on your behalf and broker your messages to all your clients? If so, why would anyone be willing to do that? I hardly trust Apple with my stuff, and have advanced data protection enabled, and use icloud services as little as possible outside of iMessage. I'd never hand over icloud access to another party regardless of what nice to have feature they are taping over on Apple's behalf.

Bird was doomed from the very start, as they aimed to only be a scooter company.

Scooter operations shut down for nearly half the year in most markets due to the winter, and in those markets they either have to pay employees or lay them off (bird did the latter) once a year. They still have to store the scooters during that time, and they need to have scaled operations for their entire market.

Bike rentals tend to be shut down far shorter periods of time in the winter, and ridesharing doesn't shut down. This allows other companies providing bikes/scooters to move their operations around to other business units when they shut down their scooter unit.

As a whole the scooters make less sense than bikes. If we're going to subsidize something, it should be bike sharing (which _is_ somewhat government subsidized btw).
Yeah, I’m in NC. I need it for maybe one month, and only at night in a year. I also was replacing an existing gas heat system so I could reuse the underground tanks and plumbing so it made sense for me. I held off for the time being because I used that budget for a solar roof instead :)
> giving their workers a day of rest

I think it has more to do with the religious observance of the owner than a desire to give their workers a day of rest.
And I doubt it would have gotten killed, or certainly not as swiftly, had it been an open source community based project, e.g. Hackintosh. But obviously that wasn't the point.
I dont think anyone really cares about how their sales people look though. Sales people just love their expensive toys.

We have several sales people selling millions of dollars to our company and they would join conf calls from home in a T-shirt if it suits them. Nobody in work gives a shit.

Unless the sales person is a suit salesman I don't really see how it matters.

For me bank and finance apps are very important and they all stop working without Google services. One of the reasons I am stuck on iOS. Not to me mention with every patch and release there's a risk of doing the whole flashing/setup again.

So webassembly is a VM for the browser.

You can compile non-browsery things, like ffmpeg, into webassembly to run on the browser. You usually use emscripten compiler to do that.

Wasmer is a way to run webassembly outside the browser, making portable apps.

Now, wasmer is shipping an SDK for browsers... to bring webassembly back to the browsers?

So it's an emscripten alternative, right?
In addition, what kind of risk are they alone taking when Biden is throwing billions upon billions at them and backstopping them.
Not having kids and having less kids is a universal trend that is not unique to America. It's affecting every country in the world, and the US is actually doing better than most at the same level of development.

It's also affecting Bangladesh.

I’ve slowly lost my innocence when it comes to public transportation in the US. At this point I can see that 95% of the country is absolutely locked into low-density single occupancy transportation at least till we invent sky cars. We have trillions in sunk cost that covers nearly every road, every home and every business in America. We will never, ever be Europe.
I agree. It changes everything .
There is value from seeing which result a user apparently likes best, which lets you train your search engine better. But Google already has a ton of this and the marginal contribution from Firefox users must be minimal. Instead, probably a different, smaller, search engine would probably pay. Though, even then, simply the cost of serving acceptable search results could be higher than the marginal value of the data?

Either way, this goes from a contract bringing in hundreds of millions to maybe tens at best?
Use Firefox for anything app-site-ish, but something else for the rest of the non-JS "document web".

HN doesn't need much in the way of a browser, for example. Ditto for a lot of other forums out there. The sooner we get rid of the notion that the only browsers we're supposed to use are Firefox or something else by Big Tech, and the sooner developers stop drinking the Goog-Aid of "progress", the more true browser diversity will occur.
The code as deployed has errors (the link actually shows ghidra decompile of relevant portion). Months & days are counted from 1.

The error is what makes it so that instead of failing "unfixably" once 2021-11-21 happens, it instead simulates failure between nov. 21 and dec. 1, and dec. 1 and january 1, every year starting with 2021.
It's really housing that needs the fix and I dont think they have a solution to that one
Absolutely not contesting that 'driving is different', but GP was suggesting that crash deaths doesn't correlate with crashes fatal or otherwise, or at least correlates differently enough between rural and urban. Nothing in that link supports that claim.

Intuitively one might say that high velocity crashes could involve more fatalities, but an easy counter to that is that pedestrian deaths would represent more in urban areas.
I am so frustrated with our current tech interview system that highly relies on Leetcode grinding. I work hard (50+ hours), have two small kids, and have a sick parent. I’m successful at my current job and have climbed from an entry-level employee to a principal software engineer.

It’s hard for me to just work, take care of family commitments, workout a few times a week, keep up with tech, and work on renewing some of my AWS certifications. I know I could make more and get into a higher-tier tech company if I did Leetcode grind prep more. However, it’s unmotivating to do so because spending time on this won’t make me a better engineer or help me learn skills I can apply at work. Our interview system is broken.
> Either way, it should be up to the user to decide what they want to do with their messages and how much security they attach to them.

So you agree, it's wildly unethical to use Beeper because it doesn't give all the users in the convo the right to choose the security of their messages.
You're missing the fine print. It's like $200 for a ticket if you want to take it at any reasonably competitive time, like a Friday at 5pm. It's basically a system for the 1% of wealthy super commuters.
To me Android is like freedesktop or GNU. It's a platform that apps target. Some of those apps may also be open source, but some of those may be closed sourced. There are a ton of different distributions for these operating systems and each one gives it it's own twist.
The point is only valid about desktop monitors, so I assume he meant 200ppi.
Maybe not a great example, you can make a simple blog from scratch in like 20 lines of PHP/MySQL. I did this as a young teenager by copy-pasting some example code from Tizag's MySQL tutorial (which amazingly is still up, in its original condition![0])

Personally agree. We moved back to the city we grew up after having been away for 20 years.

The reason was family and it turned out to be much more worth it than we expected. For us, family proved to be a much tighter bond than our best of friends when we were away from family.

Our kids are the happiest they’ve been being around family who love them so much.
Shit, I was talking about software developers. I've never known a busy manager. Not a gendered thing at all, it's just a bloated class of employee.
A. They aren't comparing it to rubbing alcohol. The analogy is that they are both alcohol so they are the same right? Obviously not.

The shock you felt is a bit like the shock many foreigners feel when visiting the US, and seeing a consistent flow of television commercials with “Ask your doctor about X.” (Direct marketing of prescription drugs is banned in most of the developed world.)
If any startups are in this field, I'd pay at least $100 / month to have a substantially better family than I have now
Correct, with the caveat that if you have Chrome profile sync enabled (without a sync passphrase set) then the advertising data tracked by Chrome likely gets uploaded unencrypted to Google-operated servers. I don't know if their privacy policy permits them to look at this data, or if they would look at it in practice.
There’d be less domains to spoof per server with SPF spread across more IPs. However you’re right about the long tail and since the best value is likely internal spoofing (ie: ceo scam), there’s upside to the huge providers just dealing with it for everyone.
From https://gregbenzphotography.com/hdr/#tests:

“Note for Safari / iPhone users: The top image on this page (the building with the before/after slider) uses a workaround which shows an HDR video as if it were a photo. This will let you get a sense of the HDR benefit, but you will fail the tests below as Safari / WebKit (which means all iPhone/iPad browsers) only supports HDR video and not HDR photos at this time.”

I really wish other browsers were supported natively in ChromeOS as I really like the OS but would prefer to use Firefox

I reversed the direction of the tests, as pointed out, but the original logic would fail to detect that say June 22, 2022 is after 21 November 2021.
> Is it a US thing to push updates right before holidays and force people to be on call?

Yes. And usually they get it done via their off-shore employees in third world countries like India working during their night time.

> Are you Indian? You don't celebrate Christmas, you'll be on call.

Not celebrating Christmas isn't a point. The point usually is - you will be without a job probably if you are not agreeing to be on-call 24x7.

This is called OAuth 2.0 and is trivial to implement with something like Okta.
You're missing a couple important things:

- It's not just bubble colors, those don't matter. What does matter is that image and especially video quality are absolute crap when texting between iPhone and Android, and almost all iPhone users in the US use iMessage instead of another platform like Whatsapp, so the experience tends to suck on both ends when texting between an iPhone and Android. It's all for vendor lock-in and it helps no one but Apple. Look up the "buy your mom an iPhone" bit.

- Not everyone cares about the private property rights of a trillion dollar corporation. I definitely don't! I think Apple can get fucked, and I think it's cool if people find ways to exploit their APIs to do things Apple doesn't want them to do.
Using iMessage on an iPhone 4 circa 2011 in other countries required a monthly surcharge.
The drama is about notice so I did a quick search of SMTP server software marketshare (number of servers, not users). Postfix apparently runs 37% of them.

Yeah, this is gross. "Got it" sounds like they were just telling me something, not me agreeing to let them share my personal information. That dialog was clearly designed to make users click "Yes" while giving some sort of ass-cover that they got consent even though they clearly didn't.
The sender is trusting that Apple isn’t capturing the message content in the iMessages app after it gets decrypted so it can be shown to the receiver.

In a closed system the sender trusts Apple and the person they’re sending to.

If you are sending to someone receiving in some other app, you have to trust the receiver, Apple, and who ever makes the thing that is being used to display the decrypted message. You don’t even know what app you’re trusting as the sender.

The further you go down this rabbit hole the more ergh it all feels, but actually being able to trust the whole chain from your mind to someone else’s over the internet is quite hard.
Isn't this common knowledge by now? OLED-optimized color scheme is green and yellow on deep black, with orange or red highlights. White is avoided, and blue even more so. Helps prevent burn-in, and minimizes energy use. The tech featured in OP is still great for those who require accurate color reproduction, of course.
Yeah, if you're worried about standards consistency and exploiting differences in implementation, you're best off in a high-consolidation environment.

> it overwhelmingly benefitting non-URM women

This is sadly a reality that is difficult to talk about.

I would even go further and say that we have a tendency to benefit the "least" minority of the minority.
Hiring a black or Hispanic or women from MIT is from my perspectives not really what this work should be about. Those outliers already have enough opportunity, but tend to be the one benefiting from most efforts. I would love to see deeper investment like 3 or 4 year before college in more at risk communities.
Interesting; I'd expect you to meet more of those people in those circles actually. Perhaps it's generational?
Undo. I use it in UI Drafter for handling Undo.

For example, I create a revision of a store (a deep clone) and apply the undo frames one-by-one.

Each undo frame has the setter name and its arguments. IOW, the frames contain what changed, such as:

[
[BASE.setCard, 'some-id', CF.title, 'The New Title'],
…more frames
]

Microled will be the next game changer. Current oled panels have something like 800-1000 Nits peak brightness?

Dolby Vision can be mastered at up to 10,000 nits and microled displays will apparently have the ability to reach that brightness.

HDR content will be absolutely unbelievable, getting blinded like you're outside.
