No it wasn't; absolutely no one ever thought the issue with films with sound is that their creators fundamentally misunderstood Girl with a Pearl Earring. Some people thought that [new medium] wasn't art, they didn't think it was driven by and for people who didn't understand any art.

I do enjoy the irony though of you copy-and-pasting a generic pro-AI rebuttal to a comment you didn't understand.
I'd say it's more like adding up future months' income/expenses where the future months' income/expenses can be changed based on different projected scenarios, thus simulating those different scanarios.

The non profit shell has always been a pr move. Its amazing to see how much the public fell for it, specially with the whole endeavor being led by VCs. Its like the biggest wolf in the shoddiest sheep costume.
Both of these extremes to me are both just lack of actual leadership.

A real leader should absolutely value and respect the input of their team, but also know when to just say “of the options, this is what we are going with, here is the trade off we are making and why” and have the mutual respect and trust of their team to make both of those activities successful.
Isiah Thomas was a big deal. Led the Hoosiers to an NCAA championship before his stellar NBA career (2X NBA champion).
How is this insulting? There probably are not many more than 100 players who qualify as stars, with the term “star” being taken as someone who’s clearly one of the best high school players in the country. You can probably disqualify 90% of those high schools from producing a single player of any real skill compared to the top echelon, and of the remaining 10%, only a small fraction are good enough to get any national recognition.
This is great! Would it be possible for it to be entirely serverless by letting the repo generate a static HTML page with no CDN's that you could send to others? It would add a bit of friction to the process, but each party could append the hash to the URL after they open the file.

Larry Bird was at Indiana for like a semester or something before leaving and attending a local college in French Lick so I'm not sure he really counts.
You won't know about the level of happiness the child experiences until it's too late to reverse the damage. Or if it's still possible to reverse the damage, it may be difficult or impossible to acquire full spoken language skills, as the article notes is the case for this 11-year-old boy.

So the plan is to leave the child without their hearing, in the hope that they just might end up being happier than if they could hear? And we can't run this experiment both ways! There's no way to know definitively which way the child will be happier. So it makes sense to me to give the child the ability to go through life without having to bear the burden of the disadvantages of deafness. And as much as some people in the deaf community will try to tell you that they have no disability, and that they just communicate differently... well, that sounds like a denial-based coping strategy to me. If that works for them to make themselves happy and get through life, then seriously, genuinely, I am glad they have that. But it feels abusive to force their child to have to go through the same thing.

Consider a different case: parents are deaf, child is born with normal hearing. What would we think if the parents then deliberately damaged or destroyed their child's hearing -- because they believe their child could be a happy member of the deaf community and deaf culture -- even if it could be done surgically, without causing the child immediate pain or distress? No doctor would ever perform that procedure, and we'd absolutely call that child abuse. While I don't think that's exactly the same thing as denying a deaf child treatment, it's IMO close enough for the conclusion to be the same.

(And before anyone thinks to bring up religious practices that forbid certain kinds of medical treatments: IMO those people are child abusers too, if they deny a child a live-saving or even life-improving treatment on religious grounds.)
I don't remember anybody in this thread making any claims about what Microsoft should or should not support.
I don't think the pedigree matters as much as for the leadership of a company to really know their product and market. I don't think that ex Boeing engineer turned ex Boeing CEO really knew their product given how absurd the procedures sounded to pilots around mcas and now with this de-icing issue.
I don't like this new way of arguing a point where you use more severe language to try to make your point. Give me the quote where Bill Ackman says, I support genocide of the Palestinians. It is just as fair to say Ted fellows leave because of their support of terrorism.
> Rather than "jumping into the middle of an instruction" (which to me implies some crazy trickery where both the original instruction and the middle of it do something useful, like the sibling comment about biology)

Doesn't "jumping into the middle of the instruction" just mean that decoding from the middle is another instruction, then when decoding from the start of it?

E.g.:

IMUL -> 0x0FAF
SCASW -> 0xAF

The risk is that this simply makes their culture problems worse. Governments aren't famous for turning around failing private companies.

Well, yes. Yes.

The more we can understand this stuff, the better. Not many journalists are working on these issues, and it's nice to see it get more coverage by folk dedicated to it. I've personally had an exceptionally difficult time pitching this sort of story to outlets -- they want something big and juicy. But the reality of it all is boring, subtle and routine. Then made much worse by the army of lawyers who will argue to the bone about what "private" and "consent" means in the favor of privacy damning systems like what we see here.

AGI is coming. Private companies move faster and more efficiently than government agencies, look at spaceX as an example.

The only open question is do we want the company that creates AGI to be American or Chinese? Government intervention by people that know nothing about technology (watch any congressional hearing) is not going to help anyone and will only serve to ensure China wins the race.

The context is "should I go for the 2-pt conversion?" When you're making that decision, you've already received 6 points for scoring the corresponding touchdown. The scenario presented is that you were down by 14, then you scored a touchdown to be down 8, and now have to decide whether to kick the PAT or go for 2 points. That's why it's correct to say "when you're down by 8". They're talking about a scenario where you'll still have to score another TD.

Not going to disagree that the person is coming from a certain bias but the information I'm referring to is factual about words that are understood by Russians. I don't consider that all Russians are part of a lying culture but there are words which Russians use to distinguish the nuances of lying, and even the nuances of telling truths; that says something about the messages they tend to hear.

The big VCs typically will expect extreme growth, because the big wins are needed to make up for the losses they will incur on many of the their other portfolio companies. That said, there are smaller VCs and private equity firms who will be happy to fund companies with lesser aspirations. Just don't expect comparably big valuations and you'll likely need to cede more control for less money.
Agreed.

There is a lot Ackman can be criticized on but calling him a genocide supporter is hyperbole. I don’t believe it is helping the message of the folks who are saying it.

To offer one criticism of Ackman myself, he has called the criticism of Israel antisemitism (according to the article) which is also hyperbole. I don’t think the answer to that is more hyperbole though.
True, but it isn't energy, and desal requires firm generation, so you're not using renewables that would've been curtailed but instead competing with load that needs consistent power. Still hopeful considering the cost decline curve of utility scale storage, but it isn't a silver bullet based on solar being free at noon.

I don't know if it would help or not to mention that the existing system helped to get the company to where it is today, when delivering the "now is the time to get rid of this" pitch.

This reminds me of cars—the first time I got a recall notification, I nearly panicked. Oh man, I’m going to have to bring it in and get a new one or something? What a pain!

Nope, the recall usually just means you bring it to a mechanic and they get a replacement part that does basically the same thing, but hopefully correctly this time.

Fixes like yours… hey, if it works it works, right? But the device is not exactly what was sold, if it had an Ethernet port and presumably some corresponding network functionality, there’s some value they ought to owe you for. Maybe the fix could be to ship out locked down raspberry pi to sit between the device and the rest of the network, haha.
> they're testing some new tech that directly uses the sun to desalinate.

We should be implementing technologies we have now today rather than banking on something that might or might not pan out.

I don't hate the idea of piping water throughout areas or creating artificial enclosed canals of sorts.

But then I'm on the side of thinking that we should advance and terraform the planet rather than try to be more one with nature and cut back.
I don't understand this comment because American/European governments (where I would guess most HN commenters are from) are almost certainly doing the same thing according to what we've learned about for example the NSA. Maybe you trust your own government more.

In this case: yes, because it puts undue burden on taxpayers given the unique nature of the rail system. Does every jurisdiction with rail freight traffic need a fully staffed, taxpayer-funded task force to cover these things? You'd bankrupt a ton of smaller counties.

The whole world is not New York City or the Bay Area where you have several billions of taxpayer revenues sloshing around you can throw at crime problems.

The "tough on crime" crowd needs to be less ideological and think deeply about the fiscal implications of taxpayers of their policies.
At the moment there's an effort from the Office and the National Cyber Director (ONCD), CISA, NSF, DARPA, and OMB to encourage a move to memory safe languages, including but not limited to Rust (see [1]).

This included an RFI for which there were many responses, including a number of major tech companies (Microsoft, Google, others). The general consensus supports a move to memory safe languages, BUT many of the respondents also caution about the need to prioritize and carefully manage such a transition, and the need to continue to support and assure code written in memory unsafe languages using other assurance techniques like fuzzing, integration testing, unit testing, static code analysis, and more.

Hopefully that helps explain where things stand at the moment regarding at least US movement on this topic, and also to assuage concerns about a unilateral mandate that things get rewritten in Rust (or another language).

> So I hope there would be a way for me to justify using C, along with a plan to minimize memory vulnerabilities.

If the desire is -- you would like to create new software in C because you like C, I think that presents some really difficult questions in this framework, simply because a reasonable alternative exists.

First, I think you have to ask: What kind of programs at you writing? Are they
FOSS? Do you sell them? Are they likely to cause "damages"?

If what you are doing is writing software for the joy of writing software, I'm not sure you have much to worry about. If you're writing a bank transaction server, exposed to untrusted inputs, in C and you're selling this software, you might have something to worry about, because there exists a reasonable alternative in Rust.
Article mentions California a lot.

There is absolutely zero reason that California's cities cannot be fed with nuclear heated desalinated seawater or heck, traditionally desalinated sea water.

The only thing holding back this engineering solution are NIMBYs, naive greenies, and mountains of legal paperwork.

Water doesn't go away and we have the solutions to make freshwater. The problems are political, not technical.

Tha solves the city consumption problem which can then allow water run off from the mountains back into the valley where it used to be. That will help restore the aquafiers.

Read up on what the California valleys used to look like before the water was siphoned away to the coastal cities.

Edit: the replies and downd00ts to this post are precisely why California is in its current state. All whiners and no solutions. Enjoy your mess and desertification!
As someone born in Russia, I find the comparison between the "censorship" described here, and the totalitarian censorship wrought by Russia and China, to be downright offensive. Nobody gets black-bagged in the middle of the night for talking smack about the ruling powers in the US. The fact that I hear constant whining about "censorship" by the very people being "censored" on mainstream social media just points to how little of it there actually is.

IF you take it at age 50, the NBA pension for eligible players (AIUI having been under contract at some point in at least 3 seasons) is ~$800/month for each season played (so minimum $2400/month). That's nothing to sniff at, but it isn't "never work again" money for someone who played a few years in the league (and many probably don't make it 3 years). Among other things, there's the 20+ years between when you stop playing and when you can take the pension to pay for.

From the description posted here it solves the following problems:

- interconnects content pages and chatrooms

- allows teams and athletes to do their business online

- score actual points

- allows sports teams to compete against each other

I don't really know concretely what any of that means.
