>If congress wants something regulated, they should pass a law and give guidance

I largely disagree. Congress did it's job in creating agencies and outlining their domain. I don't want a bunch of politicians creating regulation on drug approvals for instance, I want physicians and pharmacists doing that. I think the past few years have proven this, the supreme court, congress and executive fudging around with whether or not drugs are safe and efficacious has been a total shitshow.

Having professionals in their respective fields drive agencies is the only way you even come close to keeping up in the modern world. I cannot even imagine a world in which all agency policy shifts drastically every 2-4 years as different administrations come and go. That would absolutely wreck the US.

I've had various mgmt roles as well as coding roles. I like doing both but prefer to only do one at a time. My career has mostly been PHP and eCommerce related. Have done a lot of marketing automation stuff as well.

Yeah the 2/8 combo was probably what we went with in the product as well. The 512k was more like a shoehorned concept demo in an existing product.

The next thing we did was make a version of our CPU with an MMU, designed to work optimally with Linux (the first version was on the uClinux concept, with a kernel without MMU support and user-space programs that couldn't rely on fork() or mmap() fully). After a year or 2 with MMU-less Linux, it was like heaven to be able to run on an MMU :)

The $400M FTX Heist Mystery May Have Been Solved
It’s impressive but I don’t think it beats Apple, which was pretty close to dead at one point.
yes but this is a nice #2. not many fortune 500s would 1) even know they were breached and 2) if they were breached, have the breach be so contained.

When you decide to use a non-default format you adopt all of the responsibility to make that work: How do I select text from this image to reference it in a discussion? How does my screen reader handle the information? Does this text scale and wrap if I need to zoom due to a visual impairment? Can I use a high readability font with this text? If I color invert my browser how readable is this text?

This whole thread is wildly off topic to the article but I really wish developers would think more thoroughly before rejecting standards and rolling their own.

I’m a fan of Intel turning it around, becoming a fab, etc. However, I would seek a lot of input on this one. It requires a lot of capital and could take a while.
A GitHub repository is at: https://github.com/zzo38/scorpion

The newest version of the specification document is also accessible by the Scorpion protocol itself (currently TLS is not implemented on the server side): scorpion://zzo38computer.org/specification.txt

(Some of the other things other people have done are: Gemini, Spartan, and some others. Some of them (e.g. HYDIN, TerseNet) are not defined enough at this time, so it would be difficult to use them.) There are also other existing protocols, e.g. NNTP and IRC for communication between users, and Gopher for files and menus with hypertext.)

Of course, different people have different ideas, and different goals and criticisms (I have some of my own criticisms too, but many other people have other criticisms of Gemini and these other protocols/file-formats, some of which may be found on Hacker News). You are free to make criticisms of Scorpion (including if any part of the document is unclear, or if you think some part is good or is not good), too.

Actually, the repository there also does include a few other things; the "astroget" program (similar than curl) implements Scorpion protocol and also implements Gemini, Gopher, Spartan, NNTP, and HTTP (deliberately not implementing cookies and many other features of HTTP; if you need those features then you can use curl instead, anyways).

Doing petty crime and being misogynistic piece of shit is easier than robbing a bank.
Most likely the latter. Either Google has a better model which they disguise as Bard to make up for the bad press Bard has received, or Google doesn't really have a better model—just a Gemini Pro fine tuned on GPT-4 data to sound like GPT-4 and rank high in the leaderboard.
Yes, but the P/E ratio is still about 20, which is slightly high but not outside the normal range.
There's an open question about that - apparently it was N=1
Physical aspects still very much play a role in the competition regardless of any drugs that help them. You can make a race Honda and a race Lamborghini and the Honda will still have a lot of catching up to do even if you put better parts on it. The starting point matters, when building race cars and when two people compete. All the steroids in the world won’t help someone who’s already at a disadvantage against a more fit and/or skilled opponent, who’s also on steroids.

Your fictional example is not a good comparison -- I just can't imagine the scenario where you need to explain to someone who doesn't know how to modify their path why they need to add something to it.

For someone actually using git (and the CLI, at that) I'd expect to be able to say "oh, make sure git is in your path" and for them to understand how to check and set that, or at least be able to Google it and follow the instructions themselves. Likewise I'd ask something like "Can you cherry pick just that bug fix into a new PR so we can merge and deploy it today?", not give them a series of git CLI commands to paste in.

My observation of git beginners is ones using CLI say things like "oh, I screwed up my repo and had to clone a new copy". Good GUIs don't easily cause this situation, and mostly let you see and fix what happens when you do some weird accidental merge or rebase or someone else has force-pushed.
Since I and most everybody I know will never answer a call from a number not in their address book as a direct result of robocalls, I'm not sure that this is a huge issue.

If, for instance, my water company called me with such a notice, it's not likely I would actually hear about it that way, because I'd assume it was a robocall. I'd more likely hear about it through other media outlets.
it's exactly what Zuckerberg said right at the start - they want more engineers and less managers / other support roles. There are fewer engineers but they cost more.

It was designed to generate images representative of the racial mix present in the United States. It has the guilt of white Americans embedded into it permanently with what amounts to clicker training.

The AIs are capable of accurately following instructions with historical accuracy.

This is overwritten by AI puritans to ensure that the AIs don’t misrepresent… them. And only them.

Seriously, if you’re a Japanese business person in Japan and you want a cool Samurai artwork for a presentation, all current AI image generators from large corporations will override the prompt and inject an African-Japanese black samurai to represent that group of people so downtrodden historically that they never existed.
I hear a lot of complaints about it from some players, particularly my son. He didn't like this collage of Fate/Extella characters I made

https://mastodon.social/@UP8/110817619887893867

They recently came out with Fate/Samurai Remnant which is nowhere near as sexualized as previous games in that series and it's claimed that this is trying to reach a wider audience. My feeling was that Fate/Samurai Remnant elicited really strong moe for my servant using different narrative mechanisms such as the character being infectiously enthusiastic about the world that they are living in for such as short time.

Similarly there were complaints about Pyra's outfit in Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and you can't say a small change in the character design would destroy the integrity of the game because it wouldn't.

I think it means pretty much all Starlink users have at least some data go over laser links every two hours. Which is a bit of surprise to me, if true. I have a year or so of fine-grained latency detail taken with IRTT on a Starlink connection, I should sit down and see if I can see times I'm using a satellite. Latency is highly variable in Starlink though so it's pretty noisy data.

Email: contact@pbrw.pl

Hello, my name is Piotr. I'm 26 and I just graduated with a master's degree in Computer Science from the University of Warsaw (MIMUW faculty). During university I worked as an intern/junior for 5 different companies ranging from small software house to a big-tech Meta/Facebook. I worked as a Production Engineer Intern at Meta and received a full-time offer (I rejected it).

I specialize in distributed systems, networking, operating systems, and web development. For my master's thesis, I implemented MinIO object storage into the complex system with multiple services and databases.

I have a strong understanding of algorithms and data structures. For 8 years I was involved in coding competitions as a participant, organizer and tutor.

Now I want to get my hands dirty as a software engineer :)

We in Ukraine seen these restrictions, as that time we considered "east block".

Rumors said, this was real problem, so local Apple distributors written in documents simplest model, which does not exceed 1GFlops, but in reality delivered other.
AMZN up 10% AH, along with similar gains for Meta. Big tech is the greatest investing or economic paradigm in a long time. Although big tech companies have always existed, like IBM, Cisco, or Bell Labs, this is on another level. We're talking not just companies as in supplying end-goods to customers, but quasi-sovereign entities which have embed themselves into the infrastructure or fabric of the economy or society itself , such as logistics, cloud, delivery, etc. The closest historical parallels would be the Mississippi and South Sea Companies, which in present day dollars were worth trillions of dollars too.

This is probably the closest to e-acc on Twitter. When people ask "when will the acceleration happen," or "what will it look like," it's this and now.

Anyone can participate in this revolution (or evolution, depending on how you look at it). Who would have guessed that one could achieve returns comparable to the greatest hedge fund managers ever, even comparable to Renaissance Technologies or Warren Buffett, by merely investing in the biggest and most dominant and visible of tech companies over the past decade (and then adding a little leverage).
The article doesn't mention salary caps which are used in some leagues to try to make sure most teams are competitive. Are salary caps socialist? Putting a hard cap on the total amount of wages that all workers put together can earn doesn't sound socialist to me. Doesn't sound capitalist either, sounds like a cartel.

Salary caps do seem to make for parity in the sports leagues that use them. Your medium size market team has a legitimate chance of winning a championship at some point in your life. The trade-off is that you never get to see the best players in the world playing for a championship. You see one or two of the best players on each team, and whatever other players the team could afford under the cap.

I wouldn't want there to be a salary cap on the company designing my next laptop.
This is not a typical HN submission, but this is one of the best/most honest FAQs for a game that I've ever seen so figured some would appreciate it.

> I think it's optimized for discussions before integration, which is largely what PR descriptions and comments are largely used for now.

This isn't even a git concept though; it's something that was tacked on top of it. What you seem to be saying here is that a third-party tool building on top of git spawned a social movement that moved this layer up a level. Not every project uses github or a github workflow.

> I think it's optimized for discussions before integration

It's optimized for discussion of the purpose of the code unit in question. That discussion can be useful before integration; but pre-integration discussion can happen any way you like. PR discussions work, e-mails on mailing lists work. Face-to-face discussion works.

The real value (for me, I guess; apparently you just don't see it that way) is explaining the purpose (and possibly circumstances) of the commit, after the fact, when I'm looking at it for some reason or other. Not finding the commit, but explaining it once I'm there. A well-written commit message can be absolutely priceless.

Maybe this last point should go in a top-level response to your original comment, but I'm already here, so I'll just say it here. Saying that commit messages are terrible because only short-messages (the "subject line") are shown by default, seems to me about the same as saying e-mail bodies are useless for the same reason, or that file contents are terrible because `find` only lists file names by default. You 'have' to collapse by default, or you'd drown in a sea of commit messages anytime you tried to list anything.

> Like say you are trying to determine why a 10 line function is the way that it is. You blame it. Not even with the stupid-simple GitHub UI that _I_ originally wrote, but with the more expensive CLI interface that follows renames and ignores whitespace changes, etc. Now you get a list of SHAs of commits and the first 50 chars of commit messages for each line for the last modifications, etc. How do you even stitch those messages into a useful story (in order) to tell you how that function evolved to what it is now and why?

Okay, I hear you, this is not the most ergonomic procedure to one-off. But seriously, you have the SHA commits. If you need to do this often, write a tool that takes those SHA commits, orders them based on log order (or chronological order, w/e, pick an ordering mechanism), and prints out whatever information is interesting to you. A simple display that can expand/collapse full messages, diffs, etc. would probably do nicely. It can be a GUI tool, a CLI tool (menu-driven, maybe); whatever works for you. This should not be a big deal to write for the common case, and if you think it's that critical to the community, publish it.

Insights from Accelerators (What I Learned at YC-SS, Techstars, CDL, AlchemistX)
Hi All,

As Sympatic's journey unfolded, I was fortunate to lead our venture through the crucibles of innovation: Techstars Boulder, CDL Rockies Prime, Alchemist X, MATTER Health, and the Y Combinator Startup School. Each offered invaluable lessons on growth, resilience, and the art of startup navigation.

I tried to distill the essence of these experiences into core insights that shaped me as a founder. From mastering effective networking and mentorship to tackling equity challenges, these learnings are pivotal for any entrepreneur in the tech arena.

Though Sympatic's path didn't end as expected, the journey itself was a trove of growth and understanding. I share these reflections not just as a narrative of Sympatic but as a guidepost for fellow entrepreneurs on their ventures.
The existence of the robocall plague already limits innovative applications of this tech.

But I think it wouldn't be hard to allow room for a service like you describe. You aren't likely to be making hundreds or thousands of such calls a day, after all.
They make a big point of using HD-FEC rather than SD-FEC.

To me, that makes no sense - the extra power usage of SD-FEC can be tiny, even at high data rates. The FEC problem can be parallelized (if the protocol is designed for this) so it doesn't need to run at line rate too.

(SD-FEC lets you get substantially more data throughput in a given channel).
