That's interesting, thanks. My experience is with technical documentation Q&A, returning summaries and relevant passages. My takeaway was that the summary is basically as good as the passages. I do think overall response quality is very subjective and really depends on how it's being used, so whatever users do best with wins the day.

Notably, Apple seems to attach some very unfriendly restrictions to some of the built-in stuff, such as the voices. You can't use those commercially, it appeared to me when I researched it.
If you can’t build a high performance monolith with clean modular components then you will make an even worse job building a micro-services system.

The worst pile of garbage software I have seen in my 30+ years career is a micro-services system. With 150+ services making it nearly impossible to figure out why the software blows up in production.

The easiest to maintain almost-never-a-bug-in-production software I have ever worked with is a massive but well-designed million+ line C++ monolith.

No architecture pattern or programming language will guarantee a well designed system. Only a good team of experienced developers, who truly understand how to design software well, will create great software.

It’s a people problem not an architecture pattern problem.

There is no silver bullet.
Meh, just go left-to-right, and click the buttons, starting at the first... if it's higher than the wanted number, disable that button, and go one position to the right, and try that.
> For any model, the loss curve going down could mean it’s learning, or could mean it’s overfitting, we don’t know which without looking at validation loss, which is like a second set of test data the model hasn’t seen before.

> Please clarify your recently self-invented TLA (three letter acronym) at least once in your response to reduce the cognitive load on your fellow reader.

“Self-invented”… hilarious.

This is a relatively common term of art used in discussions of social science (e.g., psychology, political science, economics, etc.).

I probably could have clarified, but I think the meaning should be easily inferred from the context. Plus, it’s easily confirmed with a quick look up (two taps on my phone) or search.

Example of source that shows that it’s not something I just made up:

Because enforcement is zilch.
That's exactly how deindustrialization looks like. Efficiency goes down because nobody knows how to build ships anymore (metaphorically speaking), so more people are required than before. A lousy analogy: think about history of agriculture mechanization but in reverse: the less mechanization the more work needs to be done manually again and the machines that are still in operation are harder and harder to operate because spare parts and technical expertise are getting harder to come by.
I'm pretty introverted but even I find that working out with the "regulars" I know at the gym helps a lot with motivation. If I go at a time when they aren't there, it's definitely less fun. I've had home fitness equipment but never consistently used it.
As opposed to “behaving like discrete particles”

Neither statement claims that electrons form a fluid or move through a solid as particles they simply say that when thinking about charge behavior in either of these two regimes, one’s intuition of particles (or a fluid) can be useful.

It’s no different from photons: nobody claims they are an actually absolutely particles or waves (or exclusively one or the other) but rather that one can reason about them using either wave or particle mechanics depending on the situation.

My own 1541 never actually had problems, but it was folklore on BBS's, and I saw it happen with my brother's drive.

They might have just been prone to misalignment anyway, but the knocking couldn't possibly have helped.

it's always funny when usb-c (vs lightning, usb-a, etc) discussions come up, because there's very much people in favor of doing away with everything except USB-C (by government decree/fiat if necessary) but many of these individuals also seem to hate the usb-c only macbooks, despite those being the richest implementation of the concept to date.

not just usb-c everything, but thunderbolt everything, with full capability on all ports, full-speed charging on all ports, etc.

For other's curious: the "load resistance matches source resistance" is true for maximum power transfer of fixed voltage sources. In the case of current capacity of a wire, the voltage is variable, but the maximum current is fixed.

In that case we are selecting the input voltage for maximum power so (Rs, I are fixed, Rl can vary, and for a purely resistive load, Vin is a function of Rl):

Vin=I(Rs+Rl)

Vin = Vs + Vl

Vl/Vs=Rl/Rs

Pl = (I^2*Rl)

Clearly we can always select a Rl (and thus a Vin) that gets the desired Pl at a fixed current. Obviously at some point we are limited by shielding of the wire, and DC/DC conversion at the end-point. We eventually may also be limited by interactions between the medium surrounding the wire and EM fields generated by turning the circuit on and off. But, when you can control the voltage, there's no simple calculation from wire impedance to X maximum watts of load.
> The courts have been used to chip away at the very simple and straight forward anti trust laws that were established in this country after years of having grappled with the problem in it's unchecked form.

The problem with simple and straight forward is that it's a law prohibiting something.

If you buy the output of some factory which is the input to your own product, is that in restraint of trade? Does it matter if it's 10% or 50% or 90% or 100% of the industry's production capacity for that input? What if it's only 10% but it's the last 10% and the other 90% is already locked up in contracts with companies in other industries?

There's nothing in the statute to answer questions like that so the courts have to make something up. There's a pretty good argument that they've narrowed the antitrust laws too much over time but it's hard to claim that Congress didn't leave things open to interpretation.

> This is a feature of _recent_ history and does not at all fairly represent the large body of jurisprudence that has been issued on this subject. People really seem to misattribute much of our modern system of commerce to modernity and ignore the laws and decisions that were laid down nearly a century ago.

A century ago there wasn't an internet-connected computer chip in everything that allows the vendor to exercise control over a product even after they've sold it.

> Iqvia holdings.

This appears to be a case about a merger between healthcare companies. Which part of it are you implying is relevant to what Apple is doing?

> They have a monopoly on the device and the app store. So, they create their own monopoly over the delivery service. They're not competing with "delivery" in general, but with "apps that are allowed to use these special features on the iphone and are directly approved by apple's own internal process."

They're presumably going to argue that you can create an account with AWS and install whatever applications you want on your cloud server and access them from your iPhone, or something like that.

> Congress has ignored the courts interference int he law and has made no effort to clarify their statues. This is not the same as "authorizing" the courts to "do whatever they want."

Let's put it this way: If the courts want to find Apple in violation, it would be difficult to argue that this is outside the scope of what Congress intended based on the wording of the laws Congress passed.
This is because for any n-bit number, the maximum value is 2^n - 1, e.g. 2^8 - 1 = 255

Place that kettle on top of a blast furnace and see how easy it is. Remember we’re talking about something attached to an operating jet engine.

So powerful laptops are always connected to the internet? What is that logic? I wish that to be true.

If I'm using the laptop as a glorified monitor I'd just use a cheap chromebook or similar...

No I need a powerful laptop to replace my powerful desktop because I'm away from it and I can't guarantee that I can connect to it.

> I mean it's like turning down free work... Why?

When you're in a competitive industry, you want to commodify the spaces where your competitors have an advantage, and keep proprietary the spaces where you have the advantage. A good example is Google's early embrace of XMPP. They made their chat system use the open standard and then when they had a strong base, they started to build proprietary things on top of the standard. Then they were diverged enough and it was their way or the highway. It was a page out of Microsoft's book. I think Google really could have owned modern chat if they'd stayed-the-course with one of the chat systems they announced.

Open source is a great philosophy, but whenever you adopt it you're (potentially) funding and doing development work for your competitor. In theory those competitors are going to also contribute, but it's often assumed that competitors are fair players. That you'll both be trying to make the best thing. Your competitor might simply take your work, and undercut you on price. You're left holding the bill for all the work you put in, and they make a profit (Smaller than you would have, but their cost was negliable)
3, at least. Two just tells you one is wrong, not which. If you have 3, you take the two that agree.
"A system encompasses all facts derivable within its framework" is a very vague sentence, but the way it's written I would consider it false. Second order logic is incomplete, for example.

The fact that different set of axioms lead to different conclusions is... kind of obvious? And not at all what logicians (or probably anybody) mean by "contradiction". Moreover, incompleteness doesn't at all prevent that. You can take ZFC + CH and ZFC + not(CH), both are incomplete, but they obviously entail different conclusions.

In more standard terminology, there are systems that are free of contradictions, such as Presburger arithmetic or propositional calculus.

Gödel's completeness and incompleteness theorems are really about entirely different things, completeness is about first-order logic as a system, incompleteness is about consistent, effectively axiomatisable theories of sufficient strength.

You'll bet by in English as a tourist, but you probably aren't getting a job with just English, and you're definitely not holding down a full social life either.

Good point!

For me the beginner's mistake is: on a CPU any 'if' will cost you a clock cycle (branch prediction not considered), on a GPU it costs you the sync. In best case the syncs will come back over many loops, more often some cores will go out of sync more and more, eventually all other cores will have to wait for the last. Otherwise memory accesses will come blocking and that would cost all cores thousands of cycles.
Isn't a core issue that budgets (cost and time) are effectively fictional and that a lot of work is time and materials so there's no incentive to deliver high quality under budget and on time?

"I pulled out my copy of the draft report on Algol 68 and showed it to her. She fainted."

This is that document in final form.[1] There is also an "Informal introduction" and an "Very informal introduction", because the spec is incomprehensible. They had a terrible time talking about syntax back then. They were also trying to talk about semantics of parallelism, but it didn't go well. This was the "do this to all that stuff" era of parallelism, which maps well to some number-crunching problems.

The funny thing is that the Algol-60 Report is very simple.

I think that the hidden benefits of open travel is highly elastic.

That is to say, that if we subsidized train travel, then there are benefits (open trade, comms, etc.) that are easily realised but that we don't see.

I feel it is so elastic (sorry, I'm misusing this term somewhat) that you can subsidize to an extremely high percentage without net cost (if all externalities could actually be known and costed in)

Does Windows not alias all 127.0.0.x to loopback by default? I needed multiple distinct IP addresses for loopback at my last job and while I had to manually alias them with ifconfig on MacOS, I found Fedora had them all aliased by default. Assuming all you need is a distinct IP that goes back to your machine I believe you should be fine without any 3rd party software, but I never set it up on Windows so I could certainly be mistaken.
I love fedora, it's been my daily driver for a long time.. but it's not designed to be stable. Things break. Usually nothing you can't work past, but you don't want to spend that kind of effort to maintain stable servers.

Copyright Liability on LLMs Should Mostly Fall on the Prompter, Not the Service
The process you've outlined is a classic example of the telephone game gone digital. Remarkable stories, like the 13-year-old Tetris prodigy, often become raw material for a content mill that’s geared towards engagement rather than accuracy. Each retelling introduces new distortions as outlets race to publish their own versions, sidestepping depth for speed and sensation. It's a tale of decay, where the signal gets progressively weaker with every hop.

This reflects a broader systemic issue within the attention economy. The currency here isn't truth; it's engagement, clicks, and ad revenue. In such an economy, the incentive to maintain the integrity of information is often outweighed by the push for monetization, which naturally leads to sensationalism and loss of nuance.

As for the role of search engines, they are simply a mirror to our collective behavior reinforced through algorithms that prioritize popularity over provenance. The 'enshitification net', as coined, isn't just a network of misinformation but also a reflection of our consumption habits and the value we—as a society—place on quick, digestible content.

In recognising these flaws, platforms like HN indeed find themselves in influencer roles, not by direct action but by virtue of their position within the information ecosystem. Acknowledging this influence is the first step towards fostering a more discerning readership and, hopefully, a more robust information landscape.
