It's no surprise they'd drag their feet on investing in a platform that actively prevents them from competing. You're describing a broken egg and asking why the chicken never hatched.

> What private API entitlements does Apple take advantage of that affects Spotify?

That's not what I said. Spotify is arguing that Apple has double-standards, and I'm using the existence of API entitlements to back them up. It's an ironclad example that Apple does have conflicting interests whether they want them or not. Apple claims those double-standards help users, but I'm arguing that the promotion of special closed-door agreements and ad-supported platforms is preventing actual competitors from emerging.
That's one scenario. There are others.
I grant you a trophy for your extreme talent for reading too literally, and then stating the obvious.

Can you speak from personal experience? Not meant to be a rhetorical question, just wanted to give you a chance to elaborate.
Great, thanks!

There are books online for free, e.g.

Oberon+ is a superset of Oberon 90 and Oberon-2. Here is more information: https://oberon-lang.github.io/, and here is the current language specification: https://github.com/oberon-lang/specification/blob/master/The.... I already had valuable feedback here on HN concerning the channel extensions. Further research brought me to the conclusion, that Oberon+ should support both, channels and also monitors, because even in Go, the sync package primitives are used twice as much as channels. Mutexes and condition variables can be emulated with channels (I tried my luck here: https://www.quora.com/How-can-we-emulate-mutexes-and-conditi...), but for efficiency reasons I think monitors should be directly supported in the language as well, even if it might collide with the goal of simplicity.

Feel free to comment here or e.g. in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38903351 or in https://github.com/rochus-keller/Oberon/discussions/45.
The thing I don't understand about this strategy is that it itself shows that there really is no money to be made here. I mean it's a pretty obvious giveaway that:

1. they don't have the resources to build their own technology and probably never will

2. even if they did have, the best they could do is come up with something very similar to OpenAI's GPT, i.e. a (somewhat) generic AI model. This means that OpenAI can also easily compete with them.

All these companies are doing (if anything) is that they test the market for OpenAI (or Google, MS) for free.
Very good collection but I was surprised to not see the i-Opener on there

But isn't it more than just the vendor's hardware that one is paying for. Namely, the vendor's internet connection. Apologies if I am missing something obvious.
I'm surprised it can't do the last one. Sudoku solvers are basically on the same path as hello world. Everyone writes one when learning a language. There must be thousands of repos and guides/tutorials on how to write one (even in rust).

I'd expect ChatGPT to just spit out something verbatim.
My understanding is that Ventris and Chadwick's decipherment of Linear B was eventually accepted, but its process is questionable since there were still many unknowns that took time to resolve. The parent particularly refers to the 1965 article Is Linear B deciphered? by Douglas Young [1].

a.k.a. Intel, who also designed USB "Full Speed" vs "High Speed"

("Full Speed" was the maximum speed of USB 1.0, 12 Mb/s, which also had "Low Speed", 1.5 Mb/s which is used by keyboards and mice. "High Speed" was introduced in USB 2.0, and is 480 Mb/s)

Joke's aside, I have empathy for the pain of naming in protocols and systems that get extended and remain backwards compatible. Intel was the king at this.
I also used RDS Blue/Green deployment to apply a MySQL major engine version upgrade from 5.7 to 8.0. With respect to downtime it worked fantastically, I think we measured 13 seconds of observable downtime from the API.

However we did learn the hard way that RDS Blue/Green cannot be used to apply arbitrary changes. In our case, we discovered RDS Blue/Green can only be used to move up engine versions, not down.

We discovered on MySQL 8.0 one of our stored procedures had very occasional failures, and considered the option of using RDS Blue/Green again to move back down to 5.7. Turns out that's not an option.
Wow the way they handled it seems very unprofessional to me.
How accurate do you expect that to me? If I tell you two people have children how well do you think you can predict what that child looks like?

fwiw - porn industry has been heavily regulated for a long time,
US 2257 was passed in 1988, rights to the likeness of your image have been around longer I think,
Visa/MC, operation chokepoint, various threats from various people and orgs have kept banks and payments processors uber paranoid, and quick to cancel (and fees to process payments higher than they should be)..

and most players in English-first countries are fine with getting an ID and model release (It is a hindrance trying to get 2 picture IDs in many cases though, states are odd with that sometimes)

However the combination of international borders, semi-decentralized internet, and most importantly the lack of will from police organizations to help porn performers, have created the situation that has destroyed 'the traditional porn industry' - ( some of which I am happy to see go )

The DMCA is weaponized against porn creators, while it's used to protect Hollywood and the RIAA.

It's the lawlessness of (former-pornhub) and the ones like that, that still don't follow the before mentioned 2257 / legit model release / etc that is the real problem,

and that the international cops don't do squat to the companies that steal and republish content.

(which leads to more abuse like porn published that may not have had the proper consents all the way around)

There is a ton of regulation that people in the states or the UK must follow, but there will always be countries that don't prioritize servers hosting porn.. so unless you can kick them all off the internet there are those who will not abide by the regulations of the US/UK.

Pornhub I believe is only going through these motions because they can win visa/mc processing, which was sizeable for them semi-uniquely, AND they have been in the crosshairs of multiple high profile investigations from politicians, big name newspapers, and several 'faith warrior organizations' - they can win a reprieve from all that, which means they can also keep their brand.

Honestly, it's not regulation that is moving it 'in the right direction' - it's the technology that is allowing cbate style individual promotion which is leading to better live performing which is taking back some of the power, and the only thing that can compete with the tons of sites that are stealing full length vids and releasing them to the masses for free.
I don't think it should matter if 'systemctl start' was issued by an operator or an external script, it should try to start no matter what. SysD itself should use a different start command or flag that is subject to the limit when trying to restart after it detects a failure to start.
You see the same problem with universities, the military, the peace corps, etc.

People have an agenda to push and they want to construct a simple narrative that supports that agenda. Simple as. Thanks for taking the time to point out that the narrative may be flawed, we need more people to do that.
I mean, I’m not saying, I think the language was great or anything, just that it’s pretty obvious hyperbole, they obviously weren’t implying that nobody ever made a mistake, and coming in here and making comments like that just makes hacker news worse.

And not only that, it happens on like every post several times
How is double stair MFH overzealous? I can’t control if my neighbor blocks the stairwell with a couch that gets stuck while he’s moving in and now I have no egress if my other neighbor starts a fire.

I’m in favor of greater freedoms, and the freedom to choose a single stair MFH if I want.

But I don’t want.

What's wrong with that? SAT scores measure IQ, and can't be gamed like grades.
A bit late, but I don't find that analogy apt here. Your territory refers directly to the map.

And if you don't believe social constructs to be real, then I am confused as to why in your original comment "money" is given as something which is real. I think one could reasonably say that all social constructs are "imaginary" (whether that is useful is another question, but I would say it is not), but I find it more difficult once you engage in line-drawing within social constructs, especially so when you don't specifically articulate a boundary.
It could be both. Thanks for that reminder.

In my case, it turned out not to be, as working through the trauma eliminated the symptoms that had previously been interpreted as caused by autism, but it's certainly possible to be both autistic and a trauma survivor.
You should also try driving one of the bigger zero-turn lawnmowers ... It's scary to go fast until you're used to the completely different mechanics of driving.
Maybe the biggest problem with regulations is that even if they're very positive when enacted, there is usually no mechanism to reevaluate them during the following decades.

And so the effects of a fire 164 years ago screws up housing across the US today.

You remind me of many interviewers who had no idea who I was and asked me basic grad tests which I would struggle with mostly because I refused to be tested on fizzbuzz style questions I found it too easy to get caught out without recent revision which I often didn’t do as I was building critical software for paying customers.

I’m not saying you may have thrown out competent coders and made a completely incorrect decision I’m saying many who interviewed me seemed to ( when they hadn’t checked my background ) and were quick to assume idiocy.

A lot of women with autism mask it and perform the examples you mentioned in your last paragraph.

It could also very well describe actors like Henry Cavill.

Also, in DSM-V there is only autism spectrum disorder. And people with ASD can be very imaginative, plus traits can be masked. And trained.

My wife did a social study. Because it fascinated her. Yet she masked a lot in her life. Both our parents (mothers) still refuse to accept themselves as such. And yet we sometimes put their nose in the pie.
It's interesting to think that if a corporation is humans, in the sense that they are made of humans, and human behaviour drives the behaviour of the corporation, then which human behaviours end up dominating the corporation's behaviour, and which human behaviours are absent? I would think that corporation behavior is a subset of human behaviour, and I can't imagine that it's our most noble behaviours in that subset. There's a doco called The Corporation which profiles corps as psychopaths. Worth a watch.
Well, how much research have you done on the quality of discussion board topics, and how much time people should spend on research before they comment in order to produce the optimum discussion? And yet here you are, commenting on it.

What's the scope of The Art of Problem Solving? How far does the series go?
They avoid it getting so popular such that the audience does not grow faster than the ability to cater to the expectations from new users. Finding niches works out pretty well where they do and for longer periods of time with a lot less friction.
That sounds very familiar. Either being bored or completely overloaded. Both are pretty demotivating unfortunately.
Can't say I remember 7th grade ... but we were doing proofs in Geometry in High School. I also lived in a semi-rural US neighborhood.
Sweet summer child is a term for naivety. -1 for your understanding of the world around you. Almost no one in US and Japanese state departments want war. They would be very pleased with Russia and China not invading their neighbors for conquest though, as would most decent people. If you never defend yourself against conquest you don’t have a state.

Then your pass at manually creating a Facebook account as an hour long side job presenting as evidence completely sidesteps the fact that it’s not remotely the equivalent of Russian state level resources, nor is it even remotely close to just Facebook properties with their levels of inauthenticity countering. Cue X, 4chan, French politicians, YouTube, indy sites like ZeroHedge, etc.

Then your ridiculous handwave of “fake” typical of uneducated retorts to experts whose entire job and training is analyzing, determining, and reporting these issues. Ya, I remember these asinine arguments well when people like you were on HN deriding the Guccifer 2.0 DNC hack as having no evidence it was the Russian state. No surprise how that turned out. They were wrong, Guccifer 2.0 was Russia duh.

True,

The worst ones I've gotten are those that I didn't get. Like, after being actively engaged for several weeks and passing some interviews, just... wall of silence. Come on, people, if you don't want me - drop me a note, at least give me some closure.

The weirdest ones were "we don't want you, but we will keep your data in the database just in case". Like, in which case? Do you have any other positions that you think I could match? Why not talk to me about them then? Do you expect to have them in some indefinite future and expect me to stay unemployed in the meanwhile? Or do you expect me to drop the position I just recently started in the meantime and jump to your company as soon as you call - because that's the kind of employee you're looking for? I'm just not sure what's the message here. Is it just general "we don't want to hire you, but don't worry, you're not a complete basket case, there's still a chance we might hire you eventually. Or maybe not". Confusing.
If anything it sounds like the product was too successful!

Clearly. The price reflects it (and puts it out of the budget of most markets), but I thing Miele is targeting reliable more than they are targeting low cost.
Brains are not required to think or solve problems – simple cells can do it
Speculative or unconditional devirtualization are reasonable things to do if you are the compiler.

Writing code by hand, it's quite unwieldy, since the compiler doesn't know that a `FinalFooFrobber` always contains has its vtable set to `FrobberVtable foo_vtable`, which often appears only after inlining.

Asking C programmers to do inlining by hand is not sane. This isn't like interpreted languages where inlining sucks - here, the compiler is quite capable of it, just the vtable stuff confuses it.

Everything is a double edged sword. Pointing that out isn't arguing in good faith. The question is the ratio of good to bad. Food and roads have an overwhelmingly positive good to bad ratio. Detractors are arguing that encryption on social media platforms have a worse ratio than food and roads. See, this is why I hate metaphors. It allows you to completely bypass the argument being made by comparing apples and oranges. Muddying the waters of the discussion with this rhetorical sleight of hand. Address the actual argument.

You can also fork to preserve a repo, although apparently GitHub can removed forked repos alongside the original during takedown action. (To avoid, do the fork manually).
Twitter blue was launched less than six months before Elon started his takeover bid. It’s hard to call a six month old niche product a flop. I’d bet that subscription revenue has grown astronomically because the business strategy pre Musk was advertising based instead of subscription based.

He destroyed the advertising business, and is trying to make subscriptions work.
> For example, oil is priced in dollars; if India wants to buy oil from Saudi Arabia, it needs dollars to make the transaction, and then Saudi Arabia has an excess of dollars. Frequently it uses these to buy U.S. T-bills or invest in American

If it priced the oil in Euros or Yen or Riyals or Rupees or US Dollars it has to pay its costs. Sure it may end up with a profit its then free to invest those where it likes, there is no reason it has to buy USD assets. Many wealthy and/or exporting nations choose to buy US assets because its a large, safe and well established market, but it has nothing to do with being the most popular trading currency.

> America's basically given itself Dutch Disease, where our only viable industry is financial services.

Clearly this is not true. The largest companies in the USA are not financial.
Maybe it's OK if some housing is less perfect and closer to ashanty town. I'd rather live in a shanty town than a cardboard box under the freeway. If nobody wants to live in the "shanty town" nobody will move in and no investor will want to build another one. I sometimes think that the provocative way of putting all this is that we need more slum lords. They filled a need.
I've been avoiding having a real job for most of my adult life. I am trying to build an online business or two that leverages AI. Such as for fine tuning LLMs or an open source agent hosting system.

Let's face it-- there's a war going on against encryption by governments all around the world. Shifting public opinion is part of that war campaign.

This is a rationalization that fairly easy to debunk (in two ways, even):

1) Gorillas do not have dark skin the way that humans have dark skin. In fact, many features differentiate gorillas from all humans, including dark-skinned ones. The bias present in the model has to overcome these differences to categorize dark-skinned humans with gorillas rather than light-skinned humans. It's reasonable to question how this could happen accidentally.

2) The contention is that the data was poisoned. How, exactly, do you tell apart a case where not enough black people were included in the training data on purpose, versus as a result of institutional racism? In fact, does it matter? One could hold that the data poisoning simply happened at a different part of the process.

Also, this:

>with a human racial composition that reflects the makeup of the population of the first world, i.e. the majority have light skin.

is arguable. The "first world" (within the US/Western political sphere of influence) includes billions of people who would be considered brown/black, including black, indigenous, and mestizo South and North Americans, black Africans, inhabitants of select West Asian countries, East Asians in Japan, and indigenous inhabitants of Oceania. What you mean to say is the "a human racial composition that reflects the makeup of populations Google engineers deem important," which is again damning in its own way.
I'm also not diagnosed but I certainly have some traits. Especially Asperger traits. I'm not sure if I have it either. I've asked some professionals and they all tended towards no, though most were a long time ago. Personally I think yes. Someone else said it could be ADHD which I also have some overlap with but also not a strong match.

But I'm not going out of my way to label it. I'm clearly not neurotypical but whatever label I put on it doesn't really change that. Learning to live with it does make it a lot more bearable though.
The last line in the article argues against this:

> The US is still a major purchaser of machine tools (2nd in the world behind China), but unlike for most of the 20th century, today its factories are full of machines made elsewhere.
