Hello! My name is Albert and I'm a frontend developer specializing in Next.js.

I've created many complex web apps from an NFT marketplace, to a website builder, and many more.

I have been creating web apps in Next.js/React.js since 2016 and would be happy to prove my worth for a company.

If you would like to work with me, please visit my website for more information about me. Thank you.
I think the role of an auditor is to make sure all the right questions have been asked and record who answered and what they answered. Asking them to be guarantors of truth is maybe putting a bit too much faith in a non-judicial investigation

The replies that say "well the profits go to the non-profit, all's good" miss the reality of these high profit nonprofits: the profits invariably end up in the pockets of management. Most of those are essentially scams, but it doesn't mean that OpenAI isn't just a more subtle scam.

The hype and the credulity of the general public play right into this scam. People will more or less believe anything Sam the Money Gushing Messiah says because the neat demos keep flowing. The question is what's we've lost in all this, which no-one really thinks about.
Comparing homes today with that of 100 years ago ignores the fact that in many ways housing quality has been on a decline since the 1970’s due to cost cutting and lazy workmanship from large scale contractors.

In my city, we have entire communities of the city that people avoid buying homes in because of shoddy workmanship.

Greed corrupts and it has hit like a plague in many large neighbourhood projects over the decades.

You can have all the codes in the world, it doesn’t matter if no one follows them.
>> And if one factory can churn out X steel widgets and another X -20% because they work only 4 days per week

The number of widgets produced and the price asked for them is not a function of workdays.

You’d need to control for quality of widget produced - and since buyers are human that may mean perceived quality rather than some absolute assessment of quality.

You’d need to control for location & distance to market/customer for each widget produced.

You’d need to control for efficiency of production process.

You’d need to control for… you get the point. The only possible way your idea could stand would be if all else was held equal - and that’s simply not possible outside of horse shit models.

Models can be useful, but not like this. This is a BS way to think about an economic model.
Still not as big as Halliburton, I feel it’s the opposite the government isn’t detaining these obvious frauders and now they run amock.

Sauron does have a habit of consistently appearing, and consistently appearing where least expected.
IANAL, but here's my takeaways from reading the complaint:

* There is heavy emphasis on the "Founding Agreement" as the underlying contract. (This appears to be Exhibit 2, which is an email to which Musk replied "Agree on all"). Since I'm not a lawyer, I'm ignorant on the interpretation of a lot of contract law, and there may be finer points in case history that I'm missing, but... where's the consideration? The "Founding Agreement" in general reads to me not as contract but preliminary discussions before the actual contract is signed.

* The actual certificate of incorporation seems more relevant. Also, it's a Delaware corporation, which makes me wonder if Delaware wouldn't be a more appropriate jurisdiction for the dispute than California. Granted, I know Musk now hates Delaware because it's ruled against him, but that's not a reason you get to file suit in the wrong venue!

* I noticed that Musk's citation of the certificate of incorporation has an ellipsis on one of the articles in contention. The elided text is "In furtherance of its purposes, the corporation shall engage in any lawful act of activity for which nonprofit corporations may be organized under the General Corporation Law of Delaware." ... Again, I don't know enough to know the full ramifications of this statement in jurisprudence, but... that seems like a mighty big elastic clause that kind of defeats his case.

* Musk admits to having continued to contribute to OpenAI after he expressed displeasure at some of its activities (paragraph 68). That substantially weakens his case on damages.

* Much hay made of GPT being AGI and AGI being excluded from licenses. No citation of the license in question seems weak. Also, he pleads 'However, OpenAI’s Board “determines when we’ve attained AGI.”'

* Paragraph 98 asserts that OpenAI fired Altman in part due to its breakthrough in realizing AGI. But the conclusion I've seen is that Altman was fired for basically lying to the board.

* Paragraph 105: However, the OpenAI, Inc. Board has never had a fiduciary duty to investors. ... interesting theory, I'm not sure it's true. (Can some lawyers chime in here?)

* There are essentially two underlying causes of action. The first (comprising the first two causes) is that the Founding Agreement is a binding contract between Altman and Musk that OpenAI breached. I'm skeptical that the Founding Agreement actually constitutes a contract, much less one that OpenAI is a party to. The second (comprising the last three causes) is that, as a donor, Musk is entitled to see that his money is used only in certain ways by OpenAI, and OpenAI failed to use that money appropriately. There's no pleading that I can see that Musk specifically attached any strings to his donations, which makes this claim weak, especially given the promissory estoppel implied by paragraph 68.

* The prayers for relief include judicial determination that OpenAI attained AGI. Not sure that is something the court can do, especially given the causes of action presented.

Overall, I don't think this case is all that strong.
Mostly Apple wants to ensure that PWAs can't emerge as a viable option. As long as they're on WebKit, they can ensure that the apps are limited in their functionality.
Yeah, I've been there too. But the problem is that avoiding those completely and then only resorting to rewrites, costs magnitudes more and it's just as buggy. Many times it introduces new issues.

Doing small incremental improvements is, most of the time, the best way to improve. But because in general there's no incentive to have even a base level of quality in software, the incentive is towards rewriting and dealing with all the issues after the fact.

It really makes me sad.
It actually does if your seals are good.

Argon sealed double panes aren't magical in terms of R-values.
Apple didn't have to ask though, they fully knew they were breaking the law here. They are only backing down because of the pressure from the web community and from the DMA team starting an investigation.
This is not new. Companies have always done everything they can legally, and sometimes illegally, to maximize profit. If we ever expect otherwise shame on us.
Well, you're confused because of your erroneous determination that they're "able to make a profit." They are not. They are able to have positive cash flow but the money can only be reinvested in the nonprofit rather than extracted as profit.
Google cuts team of contractors who went on strike
Typical grift from E. Musk. I'm pretty sure when he left Open-AI he had to sign something saying that he didn't have rights to technologies developed after that point. He's just trying to sue back his way into the company.
I personally first tried 4-day workweek about 10 years ago and still love it. That was one of the best decisions I made in my life.

Especially in software industry, it's not that hard to arrange I believe. Even easier if we do it collectively. And when more and more people do it and it becomes a norm, the income will just readjust and return to the current levels.

But even today, when it's still not a norm, and I have a reduced income compared to my fulltime working peers, I still consider it a bargain. Extra free day is totally worth it. I am basically paying for some extra happiness.

SEEKING WORK | REMOTE Ok | California, Central Valley N. / Bay Area / Van Life

Hi. I'm building my client base and offering an intro rate of $16/hr for 90 days.

I can hit the ground running with Chrome Extensions, Python Apps with Flask + HTMx + SQLA, or stuff from Java 9 era. I'm comfortable with C/Native as well, but have only used it academically and personally.

I'm well experienced deep into the stack and with DevOps / five-nine SRE practices. I enjoy and perhaps prefer legacy/maintenance, good at listening to and evolving code bases. Stuff has to make business sense for me to thrive, eg. I'm better in SaaS/Agency/Bootsrapped settings than venture backed.

Here's a functional resume I put together last week:

Donors can't be owners. Nonprofits don't have shareholders.
why doesn't everyone do this? take all that sweet investor money without having to give anything then have a for profit subsidiary....
I grew up in Seattle and we call Opiliones daddy long legs, and we didn't have a name for Pholcidae, the first time I ever saw one was in Hawaii under a couch as an adult.
I have been studying Russian history as a hobby for decades

If you've been studying the topic for "decades", and then you say things like "they speak essentially the same language" (in reference to Russians and Ukrainians) -- then I don't know what to tell you.
"We had a bug" is shooting fish in a barrel, when it comes to software.

I was genuinely concerned about their behaviour towards Timnit Gebru, though.
Imagine if as punishment, OpenAI were forced to OpenSource any and all IP that was developed in the non-profit phase of their company?

That would be a Nuke in the AI world.
I find your lack of faith in America disturbing.
Investors, at any stage.

They seem to only invest in those who they know in the valley, ex-FAANG, ex-Ivy League or Stanford, and do not consider anybody else who doesn't fit that they cannot easily pattern match.

And I don't even need that much money to raise, just ~$2M to boot.

It's hard out there.
Would it make sense for cURL to detect when its being piped into `sh`?
Possibly have it refuse to proceed unless the site is on a whitelist or the user has added an --i-accept-the-risk option.
I'm surprised the EU appears to be letting them get away with charging a fee for apps installed outside the app store.
> not at all a fan of the decision to punish libraries ("slow types") that use type inference by reducing their score.

Do you feel that using type inference doesn't actually reduce performance, or just that it's not a big enough problem to warrant a reduced score?
This would be more comparable to being a backend for ibis. We're working on adding the remaining operations (like regex on strings or trigonometry functions) that ibis requires!
HTTPS imports will continue to work and be supported in Deno. However, as we observed their usage in the wild, a couple problems became clear:

1.) Duplicated dependencies - projects would often download multiple versions of the same dependency, because there was no deduplication happening based on semantic versions.

2.) Disappearing dependencies - under some circumstances, an HTTPS import URL would be unavailable, causing code dependent on these modules to break.

A central package repository could solve for both of these problems. We considered (and very nearly chose) to just use npm, but it introduced functional and UX problems we wanted to solve for users. So we set about building JSR, and did so in a way that wasn't tightly coupled to Deno (JSR didn't need to be - it is useful in the context of any JavaScript runtime).

Account IDs are 12 digit random numbers. They are used to identify an AWS account, that's all. Knowledge of the full 12 digits doesn't grant access to anything, prove you own the account, or enable you to authenticate to any systems (or individuals like in customer service for example) in AWS.

They are visible when ever you share something with another AWS account, they're in the ARN. For example, the 12 digit account IDs of all a vendors that vend AMIs, assume roles on AWS accounts (think datadog, for logging / metrics) or otherwise provide services have AWS Account IDs that are well known and easily discoverable. This s3 example is just sort of interesting since its one of the handful of AWS services that don't use account IDs in ARNs.

AWS account ids are not secrets and treating them as secrets or giving the impression that they are anything other than public data is a distraction from real security concerns.
Okay! Will put it in the normal submission!

Old wood is much less flammable because of the wood density.

Timber framed buildings are considered somewhat fire-retardant compared to stud-built buildings. As the exterior of a timber burns, the blackened part insulates the interior of the timber from the fire.

That said, timber construction isn't as sustainable as stick-built. But we should preserve old growth wood wherever we find it.

I wonder what impact this has on the final product.
Let's say I streamed the first chunk with a little JavaScript, would that JavaScript be able to listen to future chunks coming in? In a real application it is crucial to be able to update your frontend state once new data is ready.

First thought is [mutation observer](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/MutationObs...) but that seems too deep into the weeds
The jsr registry serves typescript, so you have to use typescript tooling, maybe tsc buxy could be esbuild, demo, w/e.

The npm compatibility layer compiles typescript to JavaScript on the registry so you can use it without any typescript tooling.
Imagine if instead, they were forced to delete the models they built using all our data without consent. Lets make it a fusion bomb.
"The key point here is our programmers are Googlers, they’re not researchers. They’re typically, fairly young, fresh out of school, probably learned Java, maybe learned C or C++, probably learned Python. They’re not capable of understanding a brilliant language but we want to use them to build good software. So, the language that we give them has to be easy for them to understand and easy to adopt." - Rob Pike

Go does not and cannot replace C/C++/Rust family of languages, nor can it replace C# at writing higher-level HPC code (lack of cross-platform SIMD API, zero-cost interop, hardware intrinsics, etc.), something you do to drastically reduce the maintenance effort compared to doing so in C++.

And lastly it's still unfortunate it replaces JVM family which goes to show how abysmal the basics of dev UX are in some aspects of it, because it has the most advanced JIT compiler implementations that Go will never be able to compete with.
Show HN: Payme, a library and CLI to generate QR codes for SEPA payments
I built this library and tool several years ago.

Some event where I was a co-organizer needed pre-payment for the orders, and to make this easy without going the path of an online payment service, I sent automatic mails with payment QR codes included.

The CLI also (by default) generates QR codes in the terminal, which I use often when an invoice needs to be paid: copy all necessary fields as CLI flags, generate the QR in the terminal, scan with the phone, double check everything and go! Maybe paying should not be this easy...
That sounds like the petty, vindictive, childish type of stunt we've all grown to expect from him. That's what's making this so hard to parse out, 2 rich assholes with a history of lying are lobbing accusations at each other. They're both wrong, and maybe both right? But it's so messy because one is a colossal douche and the other is less of a douche.
It seems like it has transition probabilities.

Depending on the type of the prior word, it randomly selects the next word from a list of compatible word types.

Am I misunderstanding?
OK, so for me "positive cash" and "profit" are synonyms, with "[not] extracted" meaning "[no] dividends".
There's an economic-theory view of the world and there's an accounting view, and they don't necessarily overlap. To most people, including (I would assume) most folks here, the accounting view provides the lens through which they view these matters.
Bestselling auther David Goggins files suit against Amazon
This statement represents the complete disintegration of the optimism that ruled in the 90s and before when we ardently believed that networking and communication amongst people would increase understanding and improve lives by ensuring no one would be cut off from the common wisdom and knowledge of humanity. While robber baron economics certainly appeal to a lot of robber barons, the twentieth century pretty decisively shows that prosperity at the median makes society progress much faster and more thoroughly than anything else. One used to hear of noblesse oblige, the duty of those with much to help. One used to hear about the great common task of humanity, which we aspire to make a contribution to.
8 was better than 7. There, I said it.
this argument is unfair.

Unless you're a lawyer specializing in negligence, there is nuance to negligence you don't know about. Does that imply you don't understand negligence?

Should I learn C++ or Rust?
OK, A little context, i know C, Python and JS. I like C so much and i code to learn and for fun(one day to make FOSS apps too UwU).
So i want to learn two things, QT and Games, my first thought was, learn C++, the game engine is Godot. both Godot and QT have a good support for C++, Rust on these are not 100% yet, but rust is getting popular and i want to continue up-to-date. so what do you guys think about?
Welcome to the 21st century.

Get that optimism out of here.

The game was rigged in the 90s as well (with the likes of enron. Many executives get a few years of minimum security prison in exchange for a small fortune), there was just less dissemination of information.

Musk pledged donating orders of magnitude more to OpenAI when he wanted to take over the organization, and reneged on his pledge when the takeover failed and instead went the "fox and the grapes" path of accusing OpenAI of being a failure.

It took Microsoft injecting billions in funding to get OpenAI to be where it is today.

It's pathetic how Elon Musk is now complaining his insignificant contribution granted him a stake in the organization's output when we look back at reality and see it contrast with his claims.
Yes, unless it is dismissed at a very early stage, there will be discovery.
