I love your demo for this. It's one of the best demos I've ever come across in a launch HN. Very easy to understand and use. It seems to suffer with more complex questions though. For example:

Question: Why does the pUC19 plasmid have a high copy number in bacterial cells?

Expected answer: The pUC19 plasmid has a high copy number due to the lack of the rop gene and a single point mutation in the origin of replication (ori) derived from the plasmid pMB1.

GPT response: The pUC19 plasmid has a high copy number in bacterial cells due to the presence of the pUC origin of replication, which allows for efficient and rapid replication of the plasmid.

Both are technically correct - the expected answer is simply more detailed about the pUC origin, but both would be considered correct. It seems difficult to test things like this, but maybe that's just not possible to really get correct.

I wonder how well things like FutureHouse's wikicrow will work for summarizing knowledge better - https://www.futurehouse.org/wikicrow - and how that could be benchmarked against Talc

I don't understand what you're trying to say. Python's migration has clearly been worse and took longer, .NET break their users every 6-7 years on average requiring significant rewrites (except .NET's users have been used to that pain for many years and accept it clear-eyed), and the JS ecosystem is such a mess that people rewrite their programs every couple of years because their libraries keep being abandoned or make incompatible changes as a matter of habit.

No, you have mods to make it work on the java version. I had to tinker a bit and use an older version. I am sorry, I do not remember all the details. But I think you need to install a bukkit server and use a mod.
It would sell competitor product to conform. It's build a bigger market logic, but despite Musk patent stance he actually does want to own the business as well as grow the business.

It would have eroded his competitive advantage since he had a car which had 2x the range of his competitors.

It would have set logistic constraints and limit his innovation. You can't build cells into the structural frame if you go with a removable pack.

It would have meant building an economy around pack recharge which is a large initial capital cost.

It would have meant developing and commercialising robotics beyond the capabilities of the time to do autoswap.

I remember when tech twitter (or at least Node.js twitter) tried to migrate to Ello for like a week.

A pretty good portion of my social network moved, myself included. But it fizzled out really quickly and we all ended up back on Twitter.

Every once in a while I'd still get a notification from Ello that someone had followed me. It was always a porn bot, but the email notification was still nostalgic. A part of me is sad the site died.
Yeah, I can see the similarity. Thanks for the links.

Also, vaguely related, and a way to achieve this goal of making things composable, is the "everything is an X" pattern: https://lukeplant.me.uk/blog/posts/everything-is-an-x-patter...
You shouldn't make that assumption without significantly more proof. Why can't it be both? In the App space Apple has the dominant position in a duopoly, and in the software distribution space more broadly there is cartel-like behavior occurring regarding commissions because distribution has become a major chokepoint (I'm guessing thanks to DRM, but that's probably oversimplifying).

Yes, absolutely, Java’s compatibility story has been stellar. To the point that people got spoiled by it and no longer want to join the more agile release cycle. I’ve experienced folks being more like “oh finally, now I can express myself at least a bit like I got used to with some other language”, so not sure the enhancements you’re mentioning go as far as to put Java apart from its modern day alternatives, at least some of those concepts finally trickled through though. Still, a lot of Java deployments are deliver once, never touch it again, those users would be happy to never upgrade anything. It’s no fun to revalidate the semantics in a large project.

Sounds like the article used just the right wording then.

“…less land area per megawatt-hour than almost any other power source.” As I read it this implies there is one (or some very small percentage) power source which uses less land per megawatt-hour, which is exactly the case.

I'm interested about the public benefit corporation part here. Did the PBC status wind up changing anything at all here? How does a PBC sell itself or get acquired?

Planned Obsolescence is an urban myth - there may be some examples, and if there are that's a tiny slice of the market. The reality is what OP said, price and quality are tradeoffs. Manufacturing things that can last 100+ years of wear and tear means those things would be costly, with very limited use cases.

The problem with rolling your own virtual tables without compiler support is that devirtualization is generally not possible, even in fairly easy cases.
I've seen real-world connectivity, latency, and bandwidth problems crop up with enough frequency to be a real problem on a major budget "cloud" provider. It looked liked they'd badly cheaped out on their peering agreements.

Move the exact same workload to the industry's default but much more expensive choice, and the problems vanish entirely.

This is, unfortunately, one of those things that's really hard to judge about a hosting provider unless you have direct experience using them "at scale", as they say. Nobody puts that stuff on a sales page spec sheet or comparison grid.

Could I save money by hosting on real hardware at some popular, cheapish server-leasing place? Or colocating at one? Or hosting out of my own basement!? Maybe. Would it cause some users to consistently see dial-up speeds and dropped connections on gigabit Internet service because of either some quirk of routing, or bad peering agreements? Who knows!

There is a local SEO firm that is going full speed ahead in generating massive numbers of these AI generated blog posts and news articles boosting clients ratings.

Not a pricing expert by any means, but here were some of the considerations we thought of when we made that decision:

1. There's plenty of usage based infrastructure/dev tools (ie. AWS, databricks), so I don't think we incentivize minimal usage.

2. The value we're providing feels directly tied to how much testing we're running, so when we tried to construct tiers they didn't feel helpful.

3. In our experience, enterprises have been fine with usage based pricing. They're already paying for human QA / labelling on usage based terms (even if it's part of a larger fixed contract), so our pricing isn't a deviation for them.

Open to thoughts if anyone has them!

I've once read an article in Harvard Business Review about how this company works, it's also awful.
It's like they are all "self employed" and can associate with other employees to form a mini company inside Haier. They are all competing against each other, the fluctuation between the teams is very high and of course if their mini companie is successful, the company takes the profits and credits for it, if you don't make your money worth you get canned quite quickly

I’m curious whether this is really the issue in most US cities. In Chicago we achieve significant density with a two staircase requirement. If the goal is to unlock greater density in Manhattan I accept that single-stair multifamily may be necessary. However, it seems to me that the greater need is to bring more density to urban areas such as Houston, Dallas and Phoenix. All of which seem to have ample opportunity for increasing density in a manner that preserves multiple egress options.

WebCrypto also supports ECDH/ECDSA, so one could get by without RSA. But point well made about it being too bad that WebCrypto doesn't offer higher level tools. I'm developing one such third-party library right now, and while HPKE[1] is a pretty thin layer on top of WebCrypto, it's unfortunate that it has to be written in JS at all. Last I checked, the crypto library sitting under Chrome (and probably Firefox as well?) already has HPKE implemented. If only there were a nice API through to it..

And the flip side of this is I've seen security doing the same thing in the other direction. My wife set off a nuke scanner in Shanghai. To compound the problem the card from the lab (it was a nuclear heart scan) was sitting in the pocket of the jacket she planned to wear--and changed at the last minute. Despite that it was resolved with a little bit of conversation (admittedly, my wife speaks native-level Mandarin with a Shanghai accent), nobody did the simple test of waving around a geiger counter to see if it was her or something she had that was hot. (And to say something of the state of security--she passed through one US airport when 8x as hot and another when 4x as hot. A sufficiently sensitive detector could figure out that it's 140keV gamma rays and thus medical, but that's not the sort of thing that could be determined from a distance.)
I'm wondering if the OWID data takes the 3,400km^2 of exclusion zone from Fukushima and Chernobyl (more like 5,000km^2, see below) into account when calculating the average size of a nuclear plant?

I think if we're saying the space beneath the blades can count towards aggregate wind-power land use, an argument can be made to include nuclear wasteland in the aggregate nuclear-power land use.
On X, Conservative commentator Candace Owens called Pietsch "young and stupid" after her video went viral: "Now any company that googles Brittany Pietsch will come across this video of her secretly recording the company she was employed at to expose them for doing their job. Unbelievably shortsighted."

Candace Owens is also known for her flippant suggestion that 'Hitler was trying to make Germany great again'. If the best source the BBC can come up with for the alternative POV is a nazi-adjacent social media troll, perhaps they should reconsider their cognitive biases.
I thought we were done seeing this trick in 2021, when there were all those news articles describing how much money billionaires had "made" "during the pandemic" which also used March 2020 as their baseline.

Saying they make it “open source” in the same article where they say they need “350k high end GPUs to build it”. Is the equivalent of saying: ”we offer free nuclear submarine driving lessons”.

I don't think it is that obvious. HN is a global platform after all.
I never said Apple is the only platform users trust, but that there is value in the trust that the platform brings. Beyond that, there would be value in it being the platform that comes preinstalled, even if side loading was a thing.

It can not. The brand damage comes from the sum of incompetence of all users (not just the diligent ones) multiplied by the capability to do damage. Plus, if you made it a hassle, the anti-competitive argument you raised with Google rears its head.

Yes, but (nearly) every potential buyer of IoT device has 2.4Ghz WiFi network at the location that said IoT will be deployed.

LoRa will require some kind of bridge device, and since we can't agree on anything - each vendor will have their own bridge device.

Alternatives like Amazon Sidewalk and Helium could work, but:

- Helium means users will pay for traffic to someone and use someone's internet connection. Doubt it will fly. It would be cool in a post-apocalyptic world, though.

- Amazon Sidewalk isn't universal and, IMO, immoral (enabled on devices by default without informing the owner of the device). Good luck downloading updates to your light bulbs at 80Kbps.
With that capacity it will charge in less than 2 hours. It plenty enough for a secondary runaround car. Can save you tons of money depending your pattern of use.
Honestly, I’m not entirely sure.

I’ve read enough case law to notice when jabs are made between the lines, but it’s not always clear what the desired alternative is by the writer.

In this case the repeated mentioning by the appellate court that the district court brought up an alternative scenario of… well exactly this, that developers use alternative payment methods and that Apple would have to audit them, only for the district court to brush it aside because it’s too complicated, conveys an annoyance.

These alternative options were brought up by the district court on their own initiative. Normally courts only consider what parties bring up in arguments, but it’s not disallowed or anything for a court to come up with their own suggestions.
I think the appellate court didn’t like the fact that the district court brought it up on her own and that it added a bit of complexity as a result.

The real issue or weirdness if you will, is that 99% of the case that is based on federal laws says that everything is kosher on Apple’s side, it’s only the California statute that bans anti-steering and in doing so, creates a bit of a schizophrenic outcome in which anti-steering isn’t allowed (the California part) but commission is still owed because all the rest is fine (federal law).

Here are some quick examples from the appellate judgment of what I’m talking about in terms of the appellate court’s annoyance:

> On its own initiative, the district court floated the idea of Apple permitting multiple in-app payment processors while reserving a right to audit developers to ensure compliance with the 30% commission. But it quickly rejected that as an alternative because it "would seemingly impose both increased monetary and time costs."

> Apart from any argument by Epic, the district court "presume[d]" that Apple could "utilize[e] a contractual right to audit developers... to ensure compliance with its commissions. But the court then rejected such audits as an LRA because they "would seemingly impose both increased monetary and time costs."

Quick translation: LRA = less restrictive alternative.

It’s pretty common terminology in antitrust cases, when one party complains about the other party’s actions but those acts are argued to be legitimate or necessary (e.g., we have App Review for safety reasons) the complaining party tries to counter that by offering up an LRA (e.g., well they can ensure safety by doing X, Y or Z instead and it would be less restrictive to us).

Here the district court recognized that IAP are a legitimate way of collecting the commission that due for using Apple’s IP, but instead of Epic bringing up an LRA to collect the commission, it was the district court that brought it up.
I think that annoyed the appellate court because it highlighted the cumbersome outcome.

Here’s their entire judgment by the way if you’re interested in reading it: https://cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/opinions/2023/04/24/2...

Typically, you would check the formatting of the entire codebase on the CI or even locally (to ensure that you are doing the same checks on the CI and locally). On a large code base this can take several seconds, reducing developer experience. Yes, you can use git hook to check only changed files. However, this requires more setup and may lead to some misses.

Biome can also format malformed code. It supports formatting as you type.

Biome has less known non-idempotent formatting (For some edge cases you need to run twice Prettier to get a stabilized output).

Biome is also a linter. You get two tools that are closely compatible.

For larger projects I guess, but I have a few VPSes that have been running sites for a decade or more that require almost no maintenance (occasional apt-get upgrade).

Serious question: Who is using browser data for verification?! It's alarming to me that this is even a hypothetical scenario.
