At the same time as Duo, Google launched Allo, another messaging app, neither of which should be confused with Messenger, Google’s messaging app for Android. Combined, allo and duo approximated the functionality of Hangouts, which was also split at the same time into Hangouts Chat and Hangouts Meet. Don’t confuse Hangouts Meet with Google Meet, Google’s current Zoom competitor. Hangouts Chat and Meet later become Google Chat, not to be confused with GChat, which is what many people called Google Talk for ten years. GChat was replaced by Hangouts less than a year before Hangouts was split into two Hangouts services. If you signed up for Google Voice, Google Talk would let you receive voicemails.

Yes, Google has a $1.7 trillion market cap, why do you ask?

If you have a tech startup you probably come from money already, are surrounded by people who come from money and are mostly going to talk to candidates who come from money.

The tech world is filled with wealthy people not wanting to believe that their wealth was a determining factor in their success. Having the social and financial stability to found a company and get money to hire people is the kind of thing that takes a degree of wealth and tends to attract people with wealth and repel people without.

I don't think people consciously choose to hire the rich kid, but the pool of people to choose from will be filled with rich kids.

It's more likely you're going to pick them and they'll say yes to you.

>> "In the first year alone, I spent $14,000 working with my life coach, and in the years that followed I probably spent $100,000," she says. She also spent thousands of dollars on additional courses and mentorships with other life coaches that her primary coach recommended. "I got sucked into it."

> If they weren't getting value out of it, why continue the sessions?

Because Homo economicus is a lie, and real people don't act like that in real life. It's worth considering the full quote:

> Angela Lauria, 50, discovered life coaching when she was struggling with postnatal depression and had been recently fired from her job. Initially interested in a coaching programme focusing primarily on weight loss, Lauria signed up for a $2,000 (£1,595) retreat. "In the first year alone, I spent $14,000 working with my life coach, and in the years that followed I probably spent $100,000," she says. She also spent thousands of dollars on additional courses and mentorships with other life coaches that her primary coach recommended. "I got sucked into it."

That sounds like a desperate person with a lot of serious problems casting out for a lifeline. Life coaching presented itself as that lifeline, so she grabbed on and persisted because she hoped it would work.
I meant regular "consumer" file operations - opening a folder with a few mil files and getting basic data like names/sizes, copying a few million files from one folder to another, renaming, etc.

So definitely not read-only, not identical, not all tiny 0b or even 800b files (maybe <1mb is still tiny?) , and storage overead is a much lower priority vs latency of access and speed of operations

This can happen to anyone who accepts external authority on psychological matters. If you want to build a bridge, obviously you need an expert. But if you can't be a light to yourself and presume that you need a guru, therapist, coach, shaman or whatever to teach you things you couldn't possibly find out for yourself, well, there are no shortage of people (well intentioned and not) who will keep you in the role of the helpless by assuming the role of the helper.

I'm not saying there's anything wrong with listening to other points of view, but ultimately one needs to be a light to themselves and observe deeply what rings true.

Didn't actually answer anything...
This is a question I want to know - is anyone actually paying attention to everything during standup? It seems some people are, because they occasionally have insightful comments. Even when I'm not distracting myself, I totally zone out in meetings and have no idea what was being said.

The only times where I can actually pay attention is in meetings where I have the right to (and it is conducive to) constantly interrupt with questions. Then my brain suddenly sees the information as useful because I'm looking for opportunities to say something.

I don't see how unionization can work with pretty much no authority. You don't need a license or even a college degree to write code. The workforce is distributed. In many cases, there wouldn't even be a picket line to block.

If anything, it'd have to be a series of smaller, focused unions (say, infrastructure engineers, akin to pilots unions)

Chrome’s path of ‘number go up’ growth which Google seems to now require from their products will be increasingly evil. We’ve managed to stop attestation, but I’m afraid they’ll try again and in different ways, more subtly and quietly.

I'll check HN when I'm taking a break for some other reason, running a big suite of tests maybe, or like now, listening to our C-suite regale us with the exciting future of the company and how awesome we all are.

Seconding smartwatches. There's no reason to habitually check my phone (and risk getting distracted) when my watch tells me if I have notifications. My watch is basically a read-only beeper for high-priority notifications, so there's no fear of missing out on something important.

I don't even need a cellular watch. Just having the phone inconveniently nearby (e.g., in a backpack, or on the bathroom counter instead of a nightstand) adds enough friction to eliminate mindless phone use.

While an over simplification, here is the context

There are two large hypervisors in the Linux world.

Xen, which extends the kernel to support virtual CPUs with time slices.

KVM, which assigns each virtual core a process that uses the Linux scheduler.

When a hardware vm vcpu core is preempted there is vmexit call that has to reset registers etc... and it is expensive.

Xen is what legacy AWS instances ran on and has advantages for being fair to guests is an easier task.

KVM has the advantage of gaining the benefits of the Linux scheduler which is red black tree based and well optimized.

When a new CPU comes out for example, KVM gains support from the upstream while Xen has to support it themselves.

Once technology like cgroups improved the benefits of letting your thread complete and not be preempted due to the time slice expiring avoided the cost of vmexit.

In theory, leveraging the inherently optimized core Linux features is what will also benefit virtualbox.

Most people who use KVM are using an abstraction layer like libvirt that hides how it is implemented.

In fact if you look at the processes you will see qemu even if KVM is how it is implemented.
In the end he recommends if you need cataract surgery, i.e. a lens replacement, to get a lens focused at reading distance.

It's a simple equation: Money spent on ads will go where the users (ears and eyeballs) are. By providing fine-grained targeting an advertising platform can extract more money from "the long end of the tail" which is where most of the money lives.

The rule for selling ads is: Know your users.

The rule for buying ads is: Know their users.

This is the heart of the issue right here. Nicely out in one sentence.

virtualbox drivers are/were a constant source of kernel panics on MacOS and Linux too, so that should not be underestimated.

IIRC they also disabled ASLR kernel wide.

Additionally, and perhaps less important: USB3 is a commercial feature of virtualbox, there are stories of companies getting C&D letters (or Audits/Invoices) from Oracle because a developer had installed the virtualbox extensions..
I think the point is that people were breeding rats so that they could make more money. Then when the ended the 'program', the rats just got released, making the problem worse, no?
Congrats on the launch! I noticed OpenAI API calls are embedded into your pricing model, which tells me your current use cases are built heavily around AI (and your name). Are you concerned that as you grow, OpenAI is just going to become another node and not the prime focus of your users?

As Mozilla's #1 hater I wish them all the best. The specific mentioning on doubling down on firefox specifically is exactly the kind of change I have said again and again they need to do. We shall see what comes of it, but for once, I wish them well!
You do not get to say what other people consent to. People get to say what they consent to, and if they don't say they consent to something, you have not obtained their consent. Clicking a link is not consent to view ads.

To be abundandtly clear: I do not consent to view ads. You cannot consent for me, and it is pretty fucked up that you think you can.
Good. Note that language like "has chosen to step down" doesn't really mean anything. It could still practically mean they were fired, as in they were given an ultimatum of step down or we'll fire you.

But let's be real: she should be fired. She had no vision for Mozilla. Her pay went up as Firefox market share went down. Her strategy revolved around "<buzzword of the year> services". Most recently, that was "AI services".

Now Mozilla has already spun out the Rust Foundation (in 2021). I'm not sure what their strategy needs to be but I think it revolves around doubling-down on Rust, kind of like how the Apache Foundation incubates a bunch of projects. Just like we have Webkit, that could mean creating Rust browser components and a browser entirely based on that, kind of like how they tried to with Servo in FF.

Memory safety is simply too important an issue for reliance on C/C++ in the long term. Provably correct programs and components are (IMHO) going to become increasingly important.

Stop playing around with [buzzword] (currently "AI"). Double down on Rust.

Technically? If you count Antarctica then yes it was more like 30 million years ago. The massive northern hemisphere ice sheets are much more recent.

The Late Cenozoic Ice Age,[5][6] or Antarctic Glaciation,[7][8] began 34 million years ago at the Eocene-Oligocene Boundary and is ongoing.[5] It is Earth's current ice age or icehouse period. Its beginning is marked by the formation of the Antarctic ice sheets.

In the last three million years, glaciations have spread to the northern hemisphere. It commenced with Greenland becoming increasingly covered by an ice sheet in late Pliocene (2.9-2.58 Ma ago)[11] During the Pleistocene Epoch (starting 2.58 Ma ago), the Quaternary glaciation developed with decreasing mean temperatures and increasing amplitudes between glacials and interglacials. During the glacial periods of the Pleistocene, large areas of northern North America and northern Eurasia have been covered by ice sheets.
That clarifies some things and gives me some tails to chace after! Thanks for the detailed response!

I wasn't really timing it, but it felt fine, especially since it prints out while generating. The 13B model on the 5600X is about 10 seconds. Tho once the conversation gets too long (about 10 replies) it will go sideways. I gotta play with the default settings. IIRC the 7B on the Fx8350 was closer to 25 seconds per response.
I doubt anybody would care about Spotify putting everything in one app if podcasts, etc were just sidebar items, especially if there were settings to hide them, but the issue is that they’ve intentionally made these things hard to avoid. There’s no way to signal to the Spotify app that you care only about music and will never be interested in other Spotify offerings.
Sure Lithium is important - but Toyota has been selling hybrids for 25 years... so of course they already have a pretty sophisiticated lithium supply chain.

Here's one article from 2018 where they secured 100% of the sales rights to an Argentinian lithium mine that is equivalent to all of the lithium Tesla used worldwide in 2021.

https://www.toyota-tsusho.com/english/about/project/04.html

It's actually inconceivable to me how Musk & Tesla were able to launch a new auto manufacturer, especially with a novel drivetrain. The amount of things that had to go right, the number of decisions they had to make, the number of supplier agreements and sales agreements are a massive, monumental lift. The world is a better place for Tesla existing and for proving the market for electric cars.

However...

People massively underestimate the amount of money the big OEMs can throw at these problems. Toyota Group has an entirely separate mining and materials company with as much annual revenue as Tesla's entire org: https://www.toyota-tsusho.com/english/ir/library/integrated-...

Tesla has ~$100 billion in assets, Toyota has >5x that. I hope Musk settles down with his silly time-wasting edgelord nonsense on Twitter and focuses on Tesla and SpaceX - with more of a steady hand and a singular focus on EVs, I think they could be the largest manufacturer in the world but they're not there yet and a slightly cheaper lithium supply isn't the unique advantage that's going to get them there.

SNOBOL = (from Wikipedia) "According to Dave Farber, he, Griswold and Polonsky "finally arrived at the name Symbolic EXpression Interpreter SEXI."

All went well until one day I was submitting a batch job to assemble the system and as normal on my JOB card — the first card in the deck, I, in BTL standards, punched my job and my name — SEXI Farber.

One of the Comp Center girls looked at it and said, "That's what you think" in a humorous way.

That made it clear that we needed another name!! We sat and talked and drank coffee and shot rubber bands and after much too much time someone said — most likely Ralph — "We don't have a Snowball's chance in hell of finding a name". All of us yelled at once, "WE GOT IT — SNOBOL" in the spirit of all the BOL languages. We then stretched our mind to find what it stood for.

Common backronyms of "SNOBOL" are 'String Oriented Symbolic Language' or (as a quasi-initialism) 'StriNg Oriented symBOlic Language'. "
> The cheapest in the country is $0.1122/kWh in Utah

That is demonstrably not true. That tool is reporting "average rates" for each state and excluding time-of-use. E.g. I pay 4.7 cents/kWh inclusive of all grid fees, but only after 9pm. It's trivial to schedule charging for an EV so it happens when you sleep.
> The grass needs to be severely overgrown before you need a bush hog.

Use of a bush hug does not imply the need for a bush hog, though. Even for routine maintenance of the grass you're apt to choose the bush hog out of convenience and practicality. It's not like you're going to waste time puttering around with the push mower you cut your grass at home with for a tower site out in the middle of nowhere.
