Here here. Paying no longer protects anything. If anything, you’re more valuable as a data brokered account if you’re KYC verified as a real person: so in fact the opposite case is now often the reality.

Consider that paying makes you prime rib for Sunday dinner from a data perspective: card verified PII.

And do not forget that you can be assigned an ID and disassociated from your data, which can then be tracked anonymously completely legally as a non-personally identifiable account. And let me assure you de-anonymizing a collected dataset is often not a very difficult problem in the modern data brokerage filled era.

We cannot pay out way out of this. We need rights to privacy and deletion enshrined in constitutional-style law, and soon. It must become a fundamental human right.

Append-only log-based data-stores are close enough in my book.

And conceptually, you can then push all of those "what if I am missing events, or tey are in wrong order" into the fold over the data.

Because real world is mutable data, but history of the world at any particular point isn't. It can be incomplete, it can be a personal view, I like that there are things made explicit that otherwise wouldn't. Nice abstraction.

Like, if you are splitting hairs, is even array-append in Haskell immutable? It does create new data somewhere in the memory. But I don't think that makes Okasaki's thesis and book any less valuable :)

Compilers did the same thing. But over time, as more ways to apply code and software got found, demand massively increased beyond what it was previously. This will probably be the same, at least if AI doesn't completely upend every single knowledge job there is.

why are top comments taking this seriously? Google grew in 2022 from 150,000 to 190,000 then down to 170,000 in 2023. What are couple of hundred down in such a large company? This is just some FUD piece.
Not at all.

NOYB: "None of Your Business", it's the site being linked. They're a customer rights activist group led by Max Schrems whose self-declared job appears to be "drag every business in the world to the attention of the DPAs to make sure they're both compliant and don't do any funny business with the GDPR".

DPA: Data Protection Authority. They're local to each EU country (including those that aren't full Member States but do follow EU laws) and it's their job to enforce the GDPR at a country level. Usually they're a government department. The one you hear the most in the context of GAFAM enforcement is the Irish one, which is infamously underequipped and overburdened because GAFAM has lobbied the Irish government to not take enforcement seriously so all GAFAM companies can put their EU headquarters there (which permits them to only have to comply with the Irish DPA, something called the "one-stop shop" solution.)

CJEU: Court of Justice of the European Union. Think SCOTUS but for the EU. While technically the CJEU doesn't operate on the concept of precedent (its main job is enforcing that Member States follow EU laws and directives correctly), their interpretations of EU law are the final interpretation of those laws. Usually once a case has gone through a DPA and isn't resolved satisfactorily (or isn't complied with), it ends up before CJEU. GAFAM has dragged basically all enforcement cases before CJEU to drag out the process.

GAFAM: An abbreviation referring to the five largest American tech giants: Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft. Usually is used as a shorthand for the "big tech" side of the IT industry.

Simply asserting something doesn't make it true; concretely, before crypto, we had no means to trustlessly distribute a ledger, now we do and could start working towards a practical solution that doesn't let random banks and governments mess with currencies as much as they like. I'm not an economist but that seems like a pretty big deal.

I'm not a bitcoin proponent by the way, and am well aware that it has massive downsides like the proof of work energy usage (addressed by proof of stake but often ignored because of bitcoin always taking the spotlight). I'm just sick of people naysaying without understanding the fundamental problem it actually does solve, and pretending there's no value or potential in the technology at all.
> they would have lost WWI without leaving the gold standard (other

I mainly meant their attempts to get back on the gold standard in the 1920s. Unlike e.g. France and the other European countries which didn't really have a choice and had to devalute. It put Britain industry and economy at a disadvantage during the 20s (on the brightside Britain didn't suffer from the Great Depression as much..).

e.g. between 1910 and 1930 inflation in Britain only averaged 3.0%.

And between 1920 and 1930 it was negative (with 3.7% deflation, which is huge..) while the Franc lost ~50% of its value during those years.

As a consequence in Britain unemployment stayed high and there was hardly any growth in the 1920s. While France recovered much faster despite suffering much more during WW1: https://cdn.theatlantic.com/media/mt/business/112712krugman2...

Absolutely, but I feel like it's a technical term that might be hard to understand or advertise. When I explained the project to my non-technical friends before showing them, I told them "Ah, it's like an operating system" and they generally understood what I'm going for.
Wrong again. The . doesn't match newlines by default. That's standard for regex. As with just about any regex engine, you need to explicitly instruct . to match newlines. In ripgrep, that means `(?s)..query..` for example. Or pass `--multiline-dotall`. Or use `\p{any}` to match the UTF-8 encoding of any Unicode scalar value. Or `(?-u:[\x00-\xFF])` to match any byte value.

In contrast, not being able to find ABAB in ABAABAB is definitely a false negative. There's no qualification needed there. You're using badly broken software. One wonders why you can't seem to bring yourself to acknowledge it as a downside.
But the networking code is 40% faster so programs which use telemetry will have almost the same speed. /s

Just the other day I was wondering - what would it take to develop a Linux WM in Godot?
No way. I came for the gains but I'm staying for the revolution.

It doesn't take resolve, only 100s of hours of learning and contemplation.

I also assumed that this was ChatGPT for MS Teams. The title that the webpage uses is "ChatGPT for teams" and I believe that HN tries to use the titles from the linked page verbatim.
It's OK, I'll name my project Popcar2-OS.
It's just a misdirection that hides details with extra steps so we can all just argue with zero concrete steps.

But either way, I've lately become convinced to ignore inflation. The real thing we should be reducing is printing of money, no if buts or maybes.

Legality just isn’t a concern when it comes to big companies. I am convinced that if someone looks at history from far away in the future, they will compress feudalism and industrial capitalism together.

These companies have a big influence on what is legal or what is a priority for governments.

The tide is high, a powerful moment reminding us that, even in the face of vastness, we have the strength to overcome obstacles. Each wave is a lesson in perseverance, showing us that no matter how hard we are pushed back, we can always come back stronger.

London Observability Engineering Meetup
Hey everyone! Happy New Year to all :D

I'm launching the London Observability Engineering, and I’m scheduling speakers and topics right now, so if you have something to share about Observability, I'd love to speak to you!

Here are a few topics I'm thinking of covering:

Next-gen instrumentation with eBPF & OpenTelemetry, GenAI in Observability, implementing observability for legacy systems, API observability, and data observability.

What else should we talk about?
Always surprised when some of these sites shut down. The operating cost seems low and putting on a few ads (ethical, non-intrusive, etc.) can net you passive $100+/mo.
I agree, it is nice and privacy respecting, but I take umbrige with the google-maps.
I am not really using Gmaps and I have everyone in my orbit exposed to alternatives.
Just because.... like cato used to say...... I believe that Google should be destroyed.
The Horn of Africa is going to be an even more interesting place in the next 50 years strategically.

Djibouti already has lots of foreign military bases there, it won't take a diplomat or strategist much to convince Somalilanders or Eritreans to allow them to have other bases.
I think that's complete nonsense because how the (theoretical) underlying worth of Bitcoin is based on its network and utility. Sure, you can get pretty wild speculative bubbles, but eventually there has to be come to Jesus moment.

The tech will keep improving, there will be better and simpler user front-ends. Adoption will increase. People will be more aware of their various options.

Not your keys, not your coins. Stock performance is measured with earnings. Bitcoin performance is measured on metrics that happen on the blockchain and in the real world people holding and transferring actual Bitcoin.

Its a totally different market though if you aren't buying actual bitcoin.

People can play around with derivatives all they want, there's nothing wrong with that. But to even call these a bitcoin ETF is disingenuous at best. All this is is a new fiat money with a "bitcoin" sticker slapped in the box.

Don't forget that European media love to focus on the worst aspects of the US. Not every school in the US requires armed guards and infrastructure is pretty good in many places.

And in particular, if you have a senior position at a FAANG company, you make enough money to put away significant savings for a rainy day, you get access to healthcare that is typically more modern than what is available in Europe, and you don't need to expose yourself to those inner cities unless you want to.

And talking about no-go-zones. They're starting to pop up in Europe now, too, there are plenty of them in Sweden. I wouldn't put all the blame for them on capitalism. Rather, such phenomena seem to be more associated with cases of ethnic or social minorities that feel alienated by society.

This is like that class study they did where they gave groups of students $5 to start a business and most groups focused myopically on the $5 in terms of what resources it could buy (materials for car wash etc).

The winning group ignored the $5 and sold slots to corporate recruiters to come and speak to their class of almost-graduates and made many times more money than most other groups.

What I'm saying is to use the credits as hosting for projects (like your hackathon entries) to build your skills and give you an edge for the job you want. The credit bonuses on most cloud providers aren't completely analogous to 100k of cash spend anyway because the credits will work on some services but not others.
So sad to hear that. QDB brought me so much joy to read.

My original comment is that the 2017 tax bill hurt the coastal masses. That's it.

You then stated that there are software programmers everywhere and startups everywhere. I followed up with most programmers and startups are along the coast.

Not sure with what you disagree. It's like when State and Local Taxes were limited. It hurt California residents more than Idaho residents. It's not only coastal states but more costal states than non coastal states.

Grammar Builder – Convert TypeScript to llama.cpp compatible grammar
I remember about 10-15 years ago there used be packages aimed at supporting ActivityPub, or whatever it was called back them. One of them, for Ruby, was even maintained by Steve Klabnik of Rust fame.

Perhaps there's something like that now again, but last I checked, the protocol got quite a bit more complex in its requirements, so there was no ready-to-go option, everything required a lot of manual testing and adaptation.
The tri-state area never got the memo. All the malls are alive and well.
Availability bias. There are ex-googlers (for example, me) who do not write that and don't even mention that company in their CV, in my case - exactly because working there for only 4 months would not look good.

Slightly edited ChatGPT-generated text is below.

Availability bias occurs when people rely on information that is readily available to them, often overlooking or neglecting information that is not as easily accessible. In the example you provided, individuals may focus on the information that is more readily visible, such as those former Google employees who explicitly mention their association with the company on their profiles, while ignoring those (possibly the majority) who do not mention it. This bias can lead to distorted perceptions and judgments based on the information that is most easily recalled or observed.

There's the whole Ishikawa situation going on taking up the news in Japan, so I think there's very little pressure for them to just appear to be doing something.

On the other hand, they might be suspecting something, and apply this change as a stopgap just in case, even if they later settle down on another cause.
It's Hawaii. They're literally sitting on an infinite energy supply and have almost continuous sun (apart from nights).
> Okay, so not because you say so but because you think so :)

Well.. I mean it's a bit like the "climate change is fake" or "5G causes cancer" people. Getting into a serious argument with them only legitimizes their viewpoints and makes them seem just as valid for not good reason..
MMT forgets that people won’t lend to the govt if the government is going around telling everyone the way they intend on paying the borrowers back is by making the currency they borrowed in worthless.

MMT can only work in a world where the government is explicitly not doing MMT. The moment the government makes MMT official policy no one is gonna lend to that government.
> The likelihood of making real (not paper) life-changing money

There is a difference between "save, build an emergency fund" and "get into some get-rich-quick scheme".

The goal of emergency funds and saving, for most people, is to prevent life-changing events, not create them. You don't need a ludicrous paycheck to have a rainy days fund, and to put money aside, and you shouldn't count on IPOs and acquisitions to build it.
Well, this particular tech hasn't panned out yet, I agree. But with that outlook ("just use buttons"), you'd never make any changes, which is even worse.
Heh, back when, I used to do (Q/Turbo)Basic stuff like:

Thanks for this. I was initially wondering what this new GPT 4.5 model was and if I had somehow missed out on something big.
Companies like Twitter are valued at a huge multiple of earnings. e.g. META is 33x earnings. So if you cut costs by $2 billion a year, that would come back as $66 billion of equity value. It's not exactly that simple, but close enough.

As for your other questions, it's coming up on 2 years now. I'd say that's too long to be running on autopilot.

This reminds me of seeing a video about a demolition of something using explosives. The person was UK military and the person counted down "10..9..8..7..6.. .. 4..3..2..1..fire" They omitted 5 because supposedly it may sound like fire (as in shoot or do the thing now!).

This is totally rediculous, I see plenty of 50+ in tech now and they're going to become more common over time.

The ACLU’s write up and foia actions raise some crazy questions…

> Meanwhile, as CBS Seattle first reported, some scientists are claiming they can “hack” information out of a subject’s brain, and engage in lie detection, by using a simple “brain computer interface”—biofeedback brain-wave readers that are increasingly used to control computers and are available off the shelf for only $300. According to the scientists, a “guilty knowledge test” based on a particular brain wave, the P300, “has a promising use within interrogation protocols that enable detection of potential criminal details held by the suspect.”

> Five or so years ago, we looked at this issue in great depth—consulting with experts, hosting a forum, and filing a Freedom of Information Act Request. Around that time several companies were aggressively marketing the technology as lie detectors and for other purposes. One of our concerns was that the technology might be applied by our national security agencies against suspects in the “war on terror,” who would then be mistreated based on inaccurate results. Our FOIA request attempting to find out if that was true did not yield any answers.

Have we officially abandoned the original goal of privacy/anonymity with bitcoin? Privacy isn't only a good thing when you have something to hide.

> You can't actually prevent on and off ramps because anybody could go to the black market

On and off ramps are generally meant to only include the legal avenues for buying and selling bitcoin. The government can absolutely regulate those, the black market is a separate concept. If you are left only with black market trades, the available market for the currency is drastically reduced and the potential value would be a fraction if what it otherwise could be.
