There are so many sites out there though that will, when you browse with an iOS device, tell you to download the app and refuse to show the same website you see on desktop. This could happen here. This is what the OP was talking about.

Now it would probably be stupid of Netflix etc to block VP users after refusing to also port their app or allow their iPad apps to run on the VP, but never underestimate companies' potential for counter-intuitive decisions!
AI is at rest almost all of the time. When we're "awake", we're constantly learning, observing our environment, making decisions based off those observations, and storing relevant information. The "AI" of today only learns at specified times, otherwise the energy cost required would be prohibitive.
I also loved the lockdowns. I used to joke with everybody that I'd been preparing for it since a teenager, and that all of my favourite activities were solo activities anyway. Finally I didn't have to pretend, I could just be at home and happy for X days, and nobody was judging me for it.

It would have been amazing if it wasn't for that whole pandemic situation.
Next up – companies must pay Apple 30% of their annual revenue in order to have their websites accessible on Safari.
No, why do you think that? Have you actually read the GPL?
That article is from 2002, and arguments like that have been shot down repeatedly since then.

It's a bit long-winded, but the essential argument is that IPv6 introduces a breaking change by definition -- more addresses than IPv4 supported. That's the point. Either you abandon this benefit, or break direct compatibility with IPv4. It's possible to proxy, or tunnel over IPv4, and there a few corner cases that "might" work, but the general case simply cannot.

E.g.: If you support IPv6 -> IPv4 translation, then this must occur either in the host, or on the first-hop router, which must also become highly stateful so that it can return the traffic to the correct IPv6 host. This essentially means that you have IPv4 + IPv6 coexisting side-by-side either on the host or its immediate upstream. This is literally dual-stack! That's why this is the solution that has been adopted by the industry. It works. Everything else doesn't.

Whatever else you're about to suggest has a counter-example where it just won't work. There aren't two toy hosts on the Internet, there are billions. There aren't a couple of routers under your control, there are hundreds of millions, most of which are replaced infrequently.

Solutions for migrations must cater for every bizarre scenario, not just simplified ones required to make that solution work.

Solutions must not require highly stateful routers, because at telco scale, that just doesn't work.

Etc...

These ideas have been discussed at length by experts in the field, and have been shot down decades ago.
Governments tend to be far less competent at determining technical competence. Due to a wide variety of factors, governments tend to be completely uncompetitive in salary for technical positions meaning they're already hiring from the lower end of the pool (not including a few altruistic folks willing to forgo their market value).

At a company if a department isn't working out you just restructure and move on, but in the government, that team is going to retire in your org and collect pension from you, and there's very little you can do about that.
> maybe programmers will once again be valued

Constant media bombardment about ai replacing them and hordes of baristas rejoicing that programmers will lose jobs seem to indicate that programmers are highly unlikely to be valued, for a while. Something tells me though that all this will backfire and that indeed companies will need people to build things really fast. Even if ai did manage to write more than code at the level of an ai researcher, once everyone can do it, those that will do it faster will be again in demand. And those are, naturally, people with a programmer’s mindset.
> X.com is probably the only & last experiment on whether switching to subscription rev is achievable at scale. Looks pretty clear so far that it’s not.

Twitter could. MuskX can not.
I think people underestimate the long term impact of this kind of thing. Giving the people who use and maybe more importantly influence the purchasing of expensive commercial products the ability to easily play with them on their own is essentially free advertising. And taking that away after you've offered it is even worse since now those same people not only can't experience your product firsthand as easily, but they now actively dislike your company for screwing up their home lab.

Maybe the bet here is that VMWare is so entrenched or the time horizon of the people making the decisions is so short that it won't matter to them personally. But I bet long term it has significant impact and makes room for competitors with more foresight.
Zoning is already pretty bad (at least in the US), and doesn't really have anything to do with safety.

In the sense that even without zoning laws, there were already public nuisance laws that wouldn't have allowed you to open a coal fired power plant next to a Kindergarten.
Zoning is already on the nuisance basis in many places in the US. It means local shops cannot pop up in residential neighborhoods if nobody wants to live near such a shop. If residents are fine with traffic, noise and pests they can vote for changing zoning on any lot to commercial. High density residential is almost the same, except there are also physical limitations of the infrastructure.
The people who use them. Some are funded in part or whole by the person running it, but most still have a Patreon or something like it.
Good marketing pitch for disclosing to the highest bidder rather than responsibly to industry, gonna go to jail you might as well get top dollar for your trouble.

Oh no we did a terrible job and hardcoded credentials, someone found and tried a password and then reported it without stealing or destroying anything but our egos... the horror. Let's run to the cops and potentially ruin a life.
> The increase in incidents is highest during the first year or so after drivers get the new electric vehicle, but then tapers off after that, according to LexisNexis, presumably as people get used to driving the new model. There is much less of a problem when a driver changes from a gasoline-powered vehicle to another gas-powered one, they found.

> That suggests there may be something about Teslas that’s causing people to crash more than other cars. But LexisNexis researchers had previously noticed similar trends in China, where there are many more EVs – including more that aren’t Teslas.

So the only thing special about Tesla here might be that their vehicles completely dominate the "American EV" data set.

Not mentioned: Whether accidents also increase when drivers switch between manual and automatic transmissions. (I'd bet on "yes".)

I don't think this is true any more. From what I've read, weak primes are rare enough at current RSA sizes that software generally doesn't check for them.

Principles for Dealing with the Changing World Order by Ray Dalio: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xguam0TKMw8

I think this video addresses the topic in question at a layman level.
I think it's this. Apple is actively pulling 27% cut for web purchases nonsense after the Fortnite ruling. If I were an app developer, I wouldn't support an untested platform managed by a hostile entity like Apple. If Apple wants native apps, they'll need to sweeten the pot.
They also did a more in-depth episode on Grenfell, which touched on a lot of the same issues, except Grenfell was (a) taller and (b) occupied.
I wonder what people's thoughts on KubeVela are (https://www.cncf.io/projects/kubevela/)

I've been pretty sour on Kubernetes, but this looks like it could bring some of the niceties of PaaS to k8s. I haven't looked into the deployment process yet though, perhaps that's where all the pain lies

"Out of the 46 most popular apps on the App Store, none of them will have a native visionOS app at launch, according to findings from MacStories. This list could always change — and some of the apps will still offer Vision Pro support through their existing apps on iPhone and iPad — but the lack of native apps just weeks away from the Vision Pro launch isn't particularly encouraging."
Cartel's can't just magically set prices.

They can withhold supply, and that might have an effect on market prices.
They are every bit as bad as cable TV, IMO. They are more frequent and they don't even have a transition from the video to the ads, it just interrupts mid-sentence half the time. And for some reason three 30 second ads isn't nearly as bad as a single 1:30 ad. Sure sometimes you can "skip" but then they just interrupt you more often until you watch the whole damn thing.
Pretty neat!

I have a question about how you intend to deal with LLM applications where the output is more creative, e.g. an app where the user input is something like "write me a story about X" and the LLM app is using a higher temperature to get more creative responses. In these cases I don't think it's possible to represent the ideal output as a single string -- it would need to be a more complicated schema, like a list of constraints for the output, e.g. that it contains certain substrings.

TIA!

I was almost amazed when instead of launching windows 3.1 running win.com one could run Borland DPMI host (that they used in their own 32-bit compiler toolchain), that stayed resident offering its API, and then one could run windows' KRNL386.EXE, that hooked with the DPMI host and booted windows.
One that much of Europe has mitigated somehow.
I think it'll be more like AWS, where the cost of each service keeps going down but they entice you into more usage and better models
Probably, but it's not like OpenAI has the standing to sue anyone for TOS violations. The most they will do is revoke access.
I did this as a Canadian in Canada, and now I live in Taiwan and still work for a US company. I pay tax to whatever country I was physically present in while doing the work.

There was one year I spent 3 months in California and 9 in Canada so I filed multiple tax returns. Kinda like what a football player does, but less cool :P
YouTube and Hulu did it very successfully. Twitter has just done it in a really stupid way, because their management values politics over the actual business of running a social media platform (moreso now than before, but still very much before)
It's very unlikely you cancel an existing contracted subscription in this space, but you need to send a really strong message to get your customers to move, so I actually think this is intentional to scare them but not get them mad enough to lawyer up.
You already have shanty towns with all the regulation.

Making housing cheaper also means making higher quality housing cheaper.
Apple and YT would miss-out on advertising to a captive, targeted demo of UHNWIs, corporate types, and those with expensive toys. Second to being a UBS or Tesla customer list or list of people with ASW accounts, it's a target-rich environment of that particular demo. Of course, marketing to that demo is very precarious and must be done deftly because it could easily backfire.
Or it could just be smaller like in the rest of the world.
Good point. Although I'd also say that the barrier to entry for content producers is somewhat higher for App Store. You'd likely need some level of computer science education and their review process also takes longer and is controversial at times.
If you run an opensource project on github, it’s remarkable how many times your repository will be forked into weird github accounts - that on closer inspection are just big lists of forked projects with nary an original patch to be found.

I have no idea why people do this; but I suspect it might be to look good in interviews. No idea if it works - it’s pretty obvious if you look closer that they didn’t author any of the commits. But I wonder how many people are out there claiming credit for other people’s work to get hired.

Exactly.

Very entitled.

For now. I guarantee they will start putting ads in your premium membership plan. It's already happening in other services. They will do it using the boiling frog method. There is no way they will pass up a chance to make even more money. This is not a slippery slope argument either, this is what has happened over and over throughout history.
Twitter Blue was a total flop before Musk. I'd bet Twitter's subscription revenue has grown astronomically (although not nearly enough to make up for $1.3 billion in stupid debt payments and a $3 billion shortfall in advertising revenue)
Ok 3.3kw is wild. I assumed OP was claiming some wild battery degradation. 50% is not uncommon on these early leafs so at 12 kWh it would take 4 hrs.
We also ended up using pgloader. Its not without its friction either. For example the concurrency/number of rows setting seems broken out the gate, and its like playing darts with a blindfold on to get it to run without running out of memory. But being able to read the source, github actions, and overall at least I could debug my problems, or find others who had the same issue.

Would recommend pgloader.
I don't think Bluesky was launched with a manifesto, so the user expectations are different.

That, and the fact that the lifespans of new social networks appear to be getting shorter and shorter with each new generation. If Bluesky were to disappear in a few months, the general reaction might be "Oh no! Anyway, what's next?"
If I was trying to 'gotcha' you I wouldn't have the if-yes, if-no section. I legitimately couldn't figure out your point. I still don't know what it is because those inspections serve the same purpose and while the mechanism is different I don't see how those differences are relevant.

As a reminder, the argument above was "It's fucked up that you have problem with society and you think the way to solve it is building code." followed by a citation for how many thousands of years building codes have been around to counter bad work. And you're saying that the ancient blunt building code has been replaced with... another kind of building code.

So what's wrong with the citation you replied to? Doesn't it serve the purpose of establishing building codes as normal? Why does it make you despair for HN's knowledge of construction? It's pretty clear they weren't suggesting current law works the same way.
For us it seemed to be trying to load data from the wrong table on mysql, into the wrong table on postgres.
Most of sun.misc.Unsafe forwards to jdk.internal, which will still exist and be accessible via --add-exports on the command line. This is a good middle ground for strong encapsulation and making sure users know that they're using internal api's that could change.
Keep in mind that Europeans tend to build with stone / bricks, and Americans tend to build with wood.

Lots of safety regulations stem from that divide. Wood is a bit more flammable.

(I'm not saying the difference in safety regulations still make sense today. I'm talking about one of the historical origins of the divide.)
> Child safety experts, policymakers and law enforcement have argued encryption obstructs efforts to rescue child sex-trafficking victims and the prosecution of predators. Privacy advocates praised the decision for shielding users from surveillance by governments and law enforcement.

Seriously. They're practically mocking "privacy advocates" as criminals trying to evade law enforcement, whereas the other side of the argument is supported by a veritable gathering of paragons. I did not expect this kind of naked emotional appeal from The Guardian, but maybe that's my fault. And note that this is not an op-ed.

Edit: I meant op-ed, not editorial.
> If we all non-smokers show up on a smokers list - There is zero downside for me

Except for when your health insurance company sees that and starts charging you more because of it, or your life insurance rates go up because of it, or your homeowners insurance goes up because of it, or your employer forces you into a smoking cessation program because they made you sign some kind of "smoke free pledge" for their own insurance reasons and now they think you're lying, or when someone decides not to date you because the background check they ran on you made them think you lied in your online dating profile when you said you didn't smoke, or when society gets real weird in the future and smoking goes from being "unacceptable in public" to "child abuse" and now CPS is wanting to investigate you, or who the hell knows what other thing could come and bite you in the ass now that you've got "smoker" in your permanent record and everybody feels entitled to dig into your personal business whenever they think it might give them some advantage.

That's the world we live in. Anybody willing to pay gets to look into the most intimate parts of your life that are none of their business and that ends up affecting your life in ways you'll never see coming and you'll probably not even know why or when it's happening. The more data you put out there for people to find, they more they'll find ways to screw you over with it.
> You need to think about the killer article or feature.

Well, no. I think the point is kind of that they don’t.
That was a bit tongue-in-cheek; mostly I don’t expect current diagnostic tests to be effective, especially considering how often people will suggest to get many opinions.

I have heard that certain patterns can be seen in the brain activity of autistic people as early as the age of 2. The progress which has been claimed by researchers, I presume. I do expect that to be a more consistent diagnosis option in the future but, to your point, that may just be wishful thinking.
Right but the condition is for "models that compete with our products and service". Can you really argue that this niche app competes with OpenAI's products? Couldn't you make an argument that this only applies to products and services that directly compete with OpenAI, i.e. other LLM API's or a ChatGPT competitor such as a Claude or Bart?
It seemed to try to load data into the wrong table on postgres. That was the one that immediately comes to mind. Honestly poor support is what really killed it for us. But we had other technical problems with it.

We burned 3 weeks just trying to get support to provide a sensible response. I never got the sense anyone replying to us knew any more than the surface level about the infrastructure of how DMS worked.
Maybe just the ones living under the crane while it's lifting stuff over them.

That also assumes people are living under the kites.

I think you're overthinking a short demo video and hats. I doubt anyone fought hard against wearing it, and company liability is different from your own personal risk assessment.
I have, personally, interviewed a lead software engineer candidate, claiming 8+ years of experience coding, who could not write a simple 5-minute exercise, in any language of his choosing. It wasn't FizzBuzz exactly, but if I'd thought to ask FizzBuzz, he'd have busted that as well.

"Write a function that takes a list of numbers [array, list, or equivalent] and returns the average."

That's it. Wasn’t that they got hung up on the details of whether the average of ints should be an int, float, or double, or how to handle overflow, but just couldn't even get started at all in any language.

I was the third on-site interviewer. He'd BSed his way past the phone screen and two others and I caught a whiff of "Johnny can't code" and decided to check by asking him one of our (at the time) new college grad questions.
More People Moved to San Francisco Than Anywhere in California
For investors anyhow. It could be argued that he ransomed his users.
I think this is a pretty fair take in theory. In practice, I feel that I work with a lot of people that excel in one very specific domain of knowledge and lack anything else, probably because they use this exact mindset. And when they uncover a situation they have no awareness of, they rely on me to fix it, or spend 3 additional days studying the problem while it is a problem. And the thing about problems is, they're kind of nice to be able to solve quickly. Though it would be fair to retort that I'm probably a jack of all (or many) trades, but a master of none, which sometimes hurts my ability to get work done. Though, in my honest opinion, I feel I come out on top in most situations.

Anyway, this is a pick your poison scenario, probably. So, don't let me try to tell you one way is the best way.
Replace "Ello" with "OpenAI" except OpenAI is not being silent about the changes.
Eh, sure. So in that sense, professional courtesy is only important while there's a potential interest in establishing a relationship. I disagree.

A rejection doesn't need to be a reason to burn bridges. The candidate could be rejected for any reason, even when it's out of their control. By not having the decency to inform them of the rejection, you're effectively closing the door on them applying ever again. And word goes around about companies with shitty hiring practices, so it's probably not in the company's best long-term interest to treat rejected candidates unprofessionally.

I don't see anything wrong with going beyond the generic rejection letter and being honest about why they were rejected. This doesn't mean you need to be negative or go into too much detail, but most decent people would appreciate the honesty. Those who don't, and start arguing, or post that kind of rejection on Reddit or a .lol site are just boosting the signal of why they indeed shouldn't have been hired. And the same goes for the people who ridicule such companies.

Being unprofessional and shitty is worthy of ridicule. Not honesty and transparency.
