The company that creates a platform gets to decide if their platform is open or closed.

For instance, Microsoft created Windows as an open platform while they created XBox as a closed platform.

Apple created Macintosh as an open platform and created iOS as a closed platform.

Microsoft attempted to close Windows after the fact with Windows RT and Surface RT but consumers rejected that change. The free market decides what consumers find acceptable.

iOS is a platform that favors ease of use and safety over openness.

Consumers have a choice. Quite a lot of them choose Android.

Why Most People Shouldn't Be Managers
> Fifth, modern Republicans are ultra-libertarian. It’s about individual ownership of firearms, redecentralization of power to the states, deregulation, Bitcoin, and anti-institutionalism. There is some continuity with Reaganism, but far less emphasis on military service and far less trust in centralized authority. Much more sigma male than company man.

This ignores the massive push to ban abortion and the increasing support for ending divorce. They are not ultra libertarian in the slightest.

Thank you for the link, but I'm curious why you didn't read it yourself before you made your assertion?

"But what happens to man's desires when there is plenty of bread and when his belly is chronically filled?

At once other (and 'higher') needs emerge and these, rather than physiological hungers, dominate the organism. And when these in turn are satisfied, again new (and still 'higher') needs emerge and so on. This is what we mean by saying that the basic human needs are organized into a hierarchy of relative prepotency. "
Nice and quick article. It's kind of clear that the problem is not coding. It's fun and creative.

For me it's clear that most challenging thing is managing egos, not naming variables. Egos decide procesess and rules with insufficient data. Some egos even like to decide with insufficient data and twist the measurements later to conform their views.

So: Self ego, managers egos, shareholders egos, and the infinite edges between these entities.

It's certainly harder than rust and monads :D
You're right, I got my wires crossed for some reason. Pretty sure it was either for Percocet or the generic equivalent.

When he recounted this to be, he was frustrated that they didn't give him a small prescription to start with, but more or less gave him a large quantity up front and let him dose himself.

He managed to beat the addiction, and when I'd met him it was in a software development gig so it's not like it ruined his life or anything. He certainly wasn't happy with how casually he'd been treated was the jist of the story.

Edit: just realized I had a different friend at the same company who had been on benzos and dealt with the withdrawal... The three of us chatted quite a bit and I imagine that was the context for the conversation but it's been a decade or so.

I've ridden almost all of the long-distance Amtrak lines and not seen what you describe. There are "long stops" where there are crew changes and refill and restock, but they are not primarily for passengers to visit the train station (and through-passengers that wish to get some fresh air are explicitly warned not to leave the platform, though this is not generally enforced if someone wants to take their chances).
Misleading title. It wasn't just "outside". It was a controlled experiment with Mars-like conditions, unlike space directly outside the ISS.

I was arguing that such a complaint will fall flat with many people if they share the same general experience as me. Not that it’s “objectively” true or false, assuming you can find something objective to measure. In fact I don’t think you can find something useful to measure objectively, and will necessarily fall back on subjective arguments about what is better, more important, more moral.

I love how much attention spaced repetition gets on HN. Does anyone know if there are any communities for researchers or engineers working on spaces repetition and adjacent problems? /r/spacedRepetition is basicly dead. I really wish there was a place where I could discuss space repetition research with technical peers. if such a place does not yet exist and there is interest in creating one, please reach out I am easy to find. Maybe we could start a Discord server.
Obviously there is a startup market for spiritual texts that are comprehensible to the typical 12-14 year old; on these lines I would propose:

- Party on
- Be excellent to each other

(the typical 12-14 may retain a naive interpretation of "party" and "excellent", but despite that caveat they ought to have a reasonably coherent comprehension of the text!)
Neat project. But I want more pictures of the mechanical clock too. All I can see are the pendulum, weights and chain. I'm going to guess it is a German Hermle movement? Is that a custom made clock case?
The entire point of alternative app stores is to allow more features than Apple’s. If large Apps have to give up on adding new features for their alt store versions to avoid losing their existing business on Apple’s store then how are Alt stores supposed to compete? The only reason this strategy works for Apple is because they have a dominant position already. This is textbook anticompetitive behavior.
Maybe Lineage?
We need to distinguish between performance (throughput over a congested/lossy connection) and efficiency (cpu and memory usage). Quic can achieve higher performance, but will always be less efficient. The linked benchmark actually just measures efficiency since it’s about sending data over loopback on the same host

People have probably seen more data centers than they think, and just not noticed. They just look like large buildings if you pass by on the highway.

There used to be a lot of telephone buildings in the US. AT&T built them right in the middle of communities in many cases, but they attempted to match local architecture. Most people never realized they were there.
The myth of infinite data growth
They also have to be price competitive. I'm convinced they will be much cheaper than ICE cars eventually. Engines, transmissions, etc. are very complicated things. We've just gotten incredibly good at making them.
I suppose that depends on your definitions of "good" and what counts as being "based on performance". For instance QUIC and HTTP/3 support better reliability via things like FEC and connection migration. You can resume a session on a different network (think going from Wi-Fi to cellular or similar) instead of recreating the session and FEC can make the delivery of messages more reliable. At the same time you could argue both of these ultimately just impact performance depending on how you choose to measure them.

Something more agreeably not performance based is the security is better. E.g. more of the conversation is enclosed in encryption at the protocol layer. Whether that's a good reason depends on who you ask though.
They obviously didn't, and didn't need to - that sentence is not making any assertion, it is suggesting a hypothesis that can be tested in future work by them or others. The sole assertion this study is making is about the existence of the effect, and it is only speculating (and not hiding that it's speculating) about a possible mechanism causing that effect.

And obviously further details relating to this observation aren't already tested and published, it would take at least a few months for that to happen - if someone had already done and published a follow-up analysis, this article wouldn't be news but be outdated already.
Quite the opposite, people who have grown up in rewarding environments tend to be more "ambitious" (my word, not theirs) because they have been conditioned to believe that ambition is rewarded.

On the other hand, people who have grown up in poverty have been conditioned to believe that excellence doesn't really matter since there are few or no rewards to be had. Keep in mind, this is well below the level of conscious thought - it's a biological response.

Once you remember that humans are animals and are conditioned by their environment the same way animals are, stimulus and response, everything about our modern civilization makes total sense.

Ask HN: Online communities for spaced repetition researchers and engineers?
I am developing an open source spaced repetition app. I keep seeing spaced repetition articles hit the top of HN and would really love to have a place where I can discuss spaced repetition research and advancements with like-minded peers. The spaced repetition group on Reddit is dead. I am curious if there are smaller communities in other places like Discord perhaps. Alternatively, if anyone is interested in starting such a community, please reach out.
Some people are thinking hard about a complex, nuanced topic of which we have very little past experience to draw on. I'm glad the conclusion is so self-evident to you. I must be a little slow.
About 1000 cards now. We do it daily. It's often just a few cards per day, so it takes 1-5 minutes.

Spelling is the biggest category. I record myself saying a word that I've seen him spell wrong. The answer is the written word.

Many of his old life-memories are saved. A picture of a playground he loved, where we used to live. A frame from a movie he liked. Asking for the name of the hero in a book he loved. Anki makes him recognize these things, which keep his memories of them alive. Often ilicits an "Oh yeah!" nostalgia.

Recognizing countries on the map is not trivial. On the playground, he met a kid from Syria. He asked the boy if he lived closer to Turkey, Iraq, Jordan, or Lebanon. My jaw dropped, but the boy was touched and yelled, "Mom! He knows where it is!" and they became friends (for the day). Other times he'll decide out of the blue that he wants to know more about Azerbaijan or some other country that he only knows by shape.

The rest, he's just really proud to know. A kid at school says the moon is a million miles away. He was proud to know the more accurate distance. He wants to know the actual distance to the beach from our house, instead of just "takes forever".
To be clear, I wasn’t complaining. I was asking a question.
User of Supermemo, then Mnemosyne, then Anki for about 11 years. I use them for all kinds of stuff, language learning (Finnish) being one of them over the last few years.

If I'm bored by it one day, I just don't do it that day. Or week, like this one, where I was too entrancee by playing FTL.

Then I let myself get back into it. It comes and goes in waves. That's fine. The only person keeping score is yourself.

I don’t disagree that addiction indicates a lack of something broadly related to “care”. I just take issue with claiming “it is necessarily better that people in pain receive care, and addicts do what addicts do”.

If this is indeed a spectrum (certainly debatable), with increased access definitionally increasing addiction, the argument that one side of the spectrum is strictly better is wrong.
Does anyone have any opinions on doas vs sudo? I've heard doas recommended as being more minimalistic, and various advantages that brings. What are the pros and cons between the two?
I get the feeling that you read the headline without even clicking through to see the picture of the bulletproof glass, but I'm not sure if I would call them idiots. They simply tricked you into engaging with their cause, along with a flood of global viral reposts just like this one, about it for just the price of a can of pumpkin soup and a misdemeanor mischief charge. No court in their right mind would try to conclude that they intended any harm, since it would be impossible, based on the photo alone. It sounds like the opposite of idiots to me. There are idiots in this scenario, but it's us, creating engagement on the viral reposts.
Oh, it has been invented already. I specifically came back in time to make the above comment...
The biggest failure mode is adding to many notes at once, which leads to non obvious increased future workload. Automating card creation sounds like would worsen this issue unless extreme care is taken.

At Transifex, we always did a 50/50 split. But I've noticed it's not atypical at all for small SaaS firms, who are starting to sell, to weigh an AE's comp towards Base. Especially for more junior people. I've noticed the same for profitable, organically-grown firms that are not as aggressive as well-funded startups.

Regarding the term On-Target Commission, what is the term you've seen used? Because OTE means "Commission at 100% + Base Salary".
The recent book similarly made me question all of Lewis' books, which is unfortunate because I've read every one of his books and have been a fan for decades.

The latest book about SBF seems easy to fact check because the reporting, data, and primary evidence on the FTX saga has been so comprehensively available to everyone. I have followed the entire FTX saga like a soap opera and I cannot square Lewis' take with the vast evidence it contradicts.

On a side note, as someone very close to the industry, I can say The Big Short was spot on. It simplified things, but that is to be expected for a mass market publication. I hope this means most of his books were equally evidence based, and perhaps the quality has only recently suffered.
> In this case I don't think it is terribly pertinent whether or not the content was AI generated. The issue here is someone is trying to capitalize on the legacy of George Carlin. Admitting that it is human-written does not change that aspect.

> It is hard to determine how much of the article text ...is a quote from the lawsuit. It is certainly not clear in a moral or legal sense whether training constitutes making an unauthorized copy. That is the big issue to be decided. Having an opinion and declaring it does not make it true. People are doing that on both sides already.

The article is paraphrasing one of the three claims asserted in the complaint filed by George Carlin's estate (https://embed.documentcloud.org/documents/24377438-govuscour...):

> Without authorization from Plaintiffs, or any right under law, Defendants have unlawfully used Plaintiffs’ copyrighted works for building and training a dataset for purposes of generating an output intended to mimic Plaintiffs’ copyrighted work (i.e., Carlin’s stand-up comedy).

So regardless of whether the court will agree with this (I don't think the details of how training of AI models works in relation to copyright law have been settled in case law yet), it is in fact highly pertinent to the lawsuit because there will be no copyright claim if an AI was not trained on Carlin's work.

That would still leave the two other claims though (violation of rights of publicity and deprivation of rights of publicity).

You can suspend cards and decks, but also you can skip days.

It'll create a backlog of cards to review, but that's surmountable. The number can become intimidating (I think my worst was around 2k cards), but there are a few ways to clear it. You can "just" get back into the daily habit, it'll take (by the default numbers, if one deck) # cards/100 days to clear out, more or less (some cards may come up for review again in that period so the actual number might be a bit higher). You can also up the daily review limit to clear it faster (I did this when I hit 2k, 200/day was about my personal time limit to spend on it so it took just over 10 days to clear).

IMO, you shouldn't do anything special. They're all very low-skill automated attacks. Just design and deploy stuff well, do the basic stuff correctly before you make anything publicly accessible, and don't worry about the noise. If you're doing things properly, none of it will work. Whatever fancy thing anyone suggests to try to reduce the noise likely won't slow down any actual determined human attacker much, and will just cause you more hassle to deploy and maintain.
Disclaimer: I'm not a native English speaker, but that's not what I believe "reward" means.

When guessing, you're not making any effort, it's just random, nothing to do with "agency" or behaviour. It's just a lottery and the result is just logical: in the house of the poor, happiness is short-lived.

I’m having trouble understanding your example.

Yak-shaving is a chain of preconditions, e.g:

- In order to do Z, I must first do Y

- In order to do Y, I must first do X

- In order to do X, I must first do W

Etc.

Clearly the way to improve things is to shorten the chain of preconditions as much as is reasonable.

In your example, it sounds like refactoring can “go off course”, but if we’re just shortening a chain of preconditions, how would it go off course? Wouldn’t we know what precondition we were eliminating?
