You might ignore other aspects of life. A good part of the children dying before reaching 10 years old (and not only). People not knowing why things happen and worrying is a vengeful god or spirit, or living in fear of the village shaman.

Not sure why you say going to the woods now is not an option. There are enough people choosing to do similar things (ex: Amish style of people). Nowadays we have more options in terms of life style than at any point in history (not without some tradeoffs, but still). You have to make a choice and make your peace with it, don't think it's productive wishing you would not have the options...
There's plenty of reliable evidence. It's just not conclusive evidence. But a lot of people including AI researchers now think we are looking at AGI in a relatively short time with fairly high odds. AGI by the OpenAI economic-viability definition might not be far off at all; companies are trying very very hard to get humanoid robots going and that's the absolute most obvious way to make a lot of humans obsolete.
I was just trying that out, I _think_ it just concatenates all the content into the slot, but maybe there's a way to do that?

Developers Got Backing for Affordable Housing. Then the Neighborhood Found Out
Now that Google, Meta, Mistral, etc, all have great open source models, it seems rather untenable for OpenAI to

1. keep "open" in the name

2. stay closed source

3. pretend to be a non-profit

at least one of those things must go, right?

Discovery is the play here for both GPT4 and Q. It's a win/win for Elon Musk as he will either get money or get the knowledge how it's done/going to be done. I hold an opinion that GPT4 is simply an ensemble of GPT-3's with a bunch of filtering, deployment (for calculating things), and feedback mechanisms with a shitty UI tacked onto it. Q is probably that ensemble plugged into Sora somehow, to help tweak the wisdom understanding of a certain class of problems. That's why they need the GPUs so badly. And, we just saw the paper on quantization of models come out, so it's good timing to bring this claim to bear.

Elon Musk would do well to consider taking Tesla's ability to build hardware and apply it to building ASICs, because without the hardware, no amount of software discovery will net you AGI.
The LEFT super key does that. The right one does not because who knows. Sorry it's just something I really hate about Gnome.
I don’t think WebKit is garbage. That title belongs to Gecko. Apple picked up their slack with Safari a long time ago. They do have faults with these decisions to intentionally break or not support some features for years, like Push Notificafions.

I ended up doing this accidentally.

I enjoy reading on my laptop in coffee shops. I'm naturally introverted by temperament and hate bothering people. (And physically I am practically the opposite of Margot Robbie.)

But you keep showing up long enough and conversations end up being inevitable, especially if you sit near where the baristas are working, which I didn't do initially until one day they were the only available seats and I found it was the best place to sit.
Cloudflare | Multiple Roles | Full-Time | Austin, Lisbon, London, or REMOTE | cloudflare.com

Cloudflare Workers is hiring for multiple roles to help build the leading serverless platform, powered by Cloudflare’s edge network. Our platform is growing rapidly, with industry leading cold-start times and advanced features like Hyperdrive and Workers for Platforms. Cloudflare builds a large portion of our software with open source, such as workerd (runtime), Wrangler, workers-rs, Pingora, and Foundations.

We are looking for experienced C++ developers to work on the Workers Runtime or Durable Objects:

Not saying it's nice, but that just sounds like tough negotiating to me. As opposed to actual illegal salary collusion by Apple, Google, Intel, Adobe
This is a joke: GitHub account name. If it is good enough for Golang, …
That wasn't the donors' doing at all, though. If anything it was an illustration of the powerlessness of the donors and the non-profit structure without the force of law backing it up.
I think that's been part of the capitalist model since roughly the beginning.
Oh that's way out of my league unfortunately. I wonder if there's a library or something that does something like this.
In terms of "when you would use it" - it doesn't necessarily solve a different problem than npm. I think it arguably solves the same problem more effectively (though it is certainly early days and npm still does a lot of things JSR doesn't). I also don't know that we're segmenting the ecosystem, as JSR packages interoperate with npm packages, and you can use one from the other. JSR will end up being additive to npm.

For module authors, we're hoping JSR will be helpful in the following ways:

1.) You can develop and publish TypeScript source, and let JSR handle transpilation and generating .d.ts files for runtimes that don't natively support TypeScript. Especially nice if you are using Deno or Bun (that do natively support TypeScript), and don't have tsc in your workflow otherwise.

2.) JSR generates API docs for you on your package page based on your source code and comments.

3.) JSR has a great DX around publishing packages from GitHub Actions using OIDC (no juggling tokens)

4.) JSR automatically provides provenance for published versions of packages

For module consumers, it helps too:

1.) Compatible with both Deno and existing npm-based projects

2.) Package info and docs provided centralized on the jsr.io site

3.) Quality scores that encourage authors to make their packages fast and well documented

4.) Access to TypeScript source for packages (not just transpiled output)

Absolutely more to be done, but we're hoping that JSR will provide enough extra value to both module authors and consumers that both will prefer to use it when possible.
>For knowledge workers, being 100% productive for 8 hours a day 5 days a week is a lie.

Of course, but if this is a known fact, why are we still working 5 days a week as the norm and not 4?

Clearly inertia is more important to companies and legislators than facts.

Or that probably not all jobs are so leisurely and inefficient, that 5 days of actual productivity can be don in less.
Could you please explain why is that?
In general the the 501(3)c isn't replaced by a for-profit corp though. The 501(3)c remains and a new for-profit corp is established under its ownership.

IANAL but I think the tax issue would likely hinge on how well that $500k was isolated from the for-profit side. If the non-profit has no substantial operations and is just a shell for the for-profit, I could see getting in trouble for trying to deduct that as a donation. But if there's an audit trail showing that the money is staying on the non-profit side, it would likely be fine.
What Does the Frozen String Literal Comment Do in Ruby?
You misunderstand how taxes work.

Unprofitable businesses of every sort don't pay income taxes. Startups like OpenAI don't pay income taxes because they don't have income. And investors don't get a writeoff merely for investing in a nonprofit; it's not like a donation to a nonprofit (which would be deductable).
Firefox just added support for declarative shadow dom, so that might be it if you're not on the latest version.

Alternatively I could imagine some kind of proxy between you and the site buffering things up.
No. Elon Musk was not involved with the firing of Sam Altman as far as I'm aware.

The real story behind that is... complicated. First, Sam Altman allegedly does stuff that looks to be setting up a coup against the board, so the board fires Sam, but they don't provide proper context[0] and confuse everyone. So Sam gets Microsoft and a bunch of OpenAI employees to revolt and pressure the board to bring him back. He then fires the board and instates a new one, basically the original coup plan but now very much open and in the public eye.

[0] To be clear, most corporate communications try to say as little as possible about internal office politics. That can easily lead into defamation lawsuits.
The value of Saudi Aramco can't really be trusted. It's listed on their own stock market which the company controls. It has no reporting requirements, and the float is a single digit percent of the company.

It would be the same as me creating my own market, issuing 10,000,000,000 shares, and then convincing 1000 people to buy a share at $100 and then claiming my company is worth $1T.
Agree, with "hater" in the title, I expected a 20 page manifesto discussing every little detail that's supposedly wrong with the game. That was pretty moderate and the inside joke this created is like funny little easteregg.
This is awesome. I would love to see a whole ass social network (or a webring?) that was just a directory of man pages that I could get lost in.
The only reason humans can count is because we have a short term memory, trivial to add to an LLM to be honest.
> Except of course it repeating or regurgitating your content, which is a valid concern.

That is exactly it.

LLMs are nothing more than engines that predict the next token based on a mind-boggling large set of statistics of what tokens follow what. They're essentially Markov Chains on a massive dose of steroids.

If the training data includes one document that includes password rules like "The password shall be at least 12 characters long. The password shall include [...]", and then you have another document that includes a line of "The password is fdFjkkl1@!#", then if you ask the LLM to generate a document that includes password rules, there's a chance it may output "The password is fdFjkkl1@!#" in that document, because it knows that "is fdFjkkl1@!#" sometimes comes after "The password".
I pick up empty bottles and put them in the nearest glass bin. There are glass bins on both corners approaching my apartment, so I don't even need to walk out of my way to do this.

Most of them would probably stay for a few days until someone cleans the street, but it only takes one unhappy drunk to knock a bottle into the street.

I probably look like a terminal alcoholic to my neighbours.
This is my point precisely. Having proven to itself that 0 <= x < 8, the compiler could go on to remove any test for x < 8, right?
Browser extensions aren't web apps. It's a definitional thing. The whole model of the PWA is that it's an app implemented using only the fixed set of features, authentication and authorization mechanisms defined by the relevant standards, and thus requires no human to specifically audit and permit the installation. Anyone can put up a web app and run it on anyone's device, and we're all safe (modulo bugs).

Extensions can in principle do anything the browser can, like snoop on traffic with foreign sites, etc... They have more capability (for good reason!), but require some level of authorization to happen by the user and (usually) OS vendor to make sure nothing bad happens. And bad things happen anyway.
> But why did forums die? Was it bad UX?

Reddit and HN are what killed forums for me. These two sites allow for branching discussions. You can comment on follow-ups to the main post, and other people can do the same. It's like being in a crowd of people discussing a topic and you can move around and talk to different people.

Forums force you into a serial, sequential form that I feel stifles conversation. It can work if there are only a few people, but it feels like a guided discussion where only one person can talk at a time.
Would you mind elaborating?

I still find Firefox superior to safari.
There were news that the EU has begun to ask for developers' opinions about the death of PWAs too. Apple doesn't want the EU to ask for developers' opinions.
Microsoft is the single largest donor by a wide margin, and they were absolutely pulling the strings in that incident.
Charge Robotics | Senior Robotics Software Engineer | Full-time | Onsite / Hybrid | SF Bay Area

Hi HN! We’re a YC-backed startup building robots that build large-scale solar farms. We just got back from the first commercial deployment of our system on a real-world solar construction site (video + more details coming soon!).

It turns out that construction companies literally can't build solar fast enough, so what we're doing is a crucial part of switching the grid over to renewable generation. We're looking to bring another talented software engineer onto our small team.

You’ll be a key contributor, helping bring our next generation of mobile solar factory to life. Your work will involve architecting, developing, and maintaining high-quality code and documentation for our fleet of fully-automated factories

Come work with us if you love:

* Fast-paced prototype development with software and hardware components

* Making a positive climate impact through your work

* Hacking on massive construction equipment!

Does this mean that I can deduct my overpriced Jets tickets as a charitable donation? That's certainly what it feels like in any case...
Rust performs runtime bounds checks on array access unless the compiler can prove that the index is in bounds. As such, removing the check is safe, because it is actually true that the program will never reach that line with an out of bounds array.

This is in contrast to C, where the out of bounds access us merely undefined, so the compiler is allowed to have the program continue execution passed it.
Plain and simple C99, even though C99 syntax is already too rich.

I would recommend risc-v assembly, and to run it on x86_64/arm/etc with an interpreter.
All information can be considered propaganda as defined by Edward Bernays in his book Propaganda. Yes groups game social media to propagate information. Yes centralized algorithmically controlled platforms are easier to manipulate conversation. Yes you must weed through the chaf of useless opinions. Yes echo chambers are often reinforced.

If topics are openly discussed, untrue narratives generally dissolve. What better tool do we have?
We're also hiring mechanical engineers! https://www.workatastartup.com/jobs/64008
You appear to be saying the board, who chose each of these people, were unable to find someone who would view this particular issue their way?

To accidentally hire one such CEO may be regarded as a misfortune; to accidentally hire three in a week looks like carelessness.
There's lots of things beyond bounds checks that constitute UB and bounds checks are but 1 small item. Generally Rust avoids the runtime cost of that through a three prong strategy of idiomatic Rust amortizing the cost of a bounds check to 0 (e.g. efficient iterator implementations that don't need bounds checks), eliding the check altogether if the compiler can prove it's duplicate / unneeded for some reason, or providing unsafe Rust as an escape hatch when you absolutely need it. C++ already has something similar via `.at` vs `[]` although the shorter notation being the unsafer but faster option is debatable & likely the thing most people use by default. Explicit annotations are probably the better approach.

It's also got a great ecosystem. I love the assume crate to do these annotations instead of writing unsafe code explicitly:

assume!(unsafe: i < v.len())

Now you've explicitly written an assumption that will cause the compiler to elide the bounds check in release mode but still assert it in debug mode (vs just doing unsafe & using variants that bypass the bounds check).
I don't think there are any laws about how you name your company right? they could just say "open" as in "open for everyone to use" and that would end that discussion
I feel like if your game takes 10 years to develop you can just release at the next shopping season surely?
They're all garbage, but you can at least run uBlock Origin in Firefox. Looking forward to being able to do that on my phone too.
Actually a good point that exposes the potential opportunism of having used the work everyone involved added as mere MVP-product-market-fit until it can go big bucks (and big disruptive and unelected and societally disruptive power).
Research finds relaxing words heard during sleep can slow the heart down
> A company wants RoI for what they spend money on.

Indeed. They bet on being able to flaunt it weasel out of DMA by any means possible. So far that RoI bet hasn't panned out.

Meanwhile you're defending a company that made 93 billion dollars in net profit last year.
Whether it's garbage or not ultimately doesn't matter much. What's more important is the fact that it's the only choice for users on iOS right now.
WebKit will never have an incentive to get improved without healthy competition.
Except they have had to do this multiple times (although usually patents).

Examples include portions of AirPrint functionality on macOS, Bootcamp suspend/resume, and FaceTime peer-to-peer. The latter being the reason that Apple did not open up FaceTime as a broader industry initiative.

In the US we currently have Apple Watch being sold without access to the blood oxygen feature due to an import restriction.

There are also restrictions on showing certain maps in certain countries, as well as whether or not the Taiwan flag emoji displays in China.

Currently building data analytics platform for agricultural customers; previously connectivity/control/update for IoT devices. I think I'm good at understanding and adapting to a new business domain, and enjoy that learning opportunity. I believe we build better software with a better understanding of the context it operates in.

Have done & can do full-stack work (helped current company grow from just three engineers) but lean towards backend/infrastructure in expertise. Currently working mostly on platform & data.

MEng EE & CS blend. (No professional EE experience, but somewhat maintained as a hobby.) 7y full-time permanent (i.e. post-intern) experience in web software.

Open only to remote opportunities that I'm eligible for residing in the UK (and as a British citizen) at this time. Cheers!
Because they are their go to excuse why the limitation to the App Store isn't a monopoly with the regulators.
It’s been years and nobody seems to be able to match Apple Silicon’s performance per watt or battery life. Seems innovative to me.
>Google previously argued that it doesn’t have to negotiate with the workers since they are not Google employees. However, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) ruled in March 2023 that because Google controlled benefits, hours of work, and the direction of the work of the contractors, it counted as a partial employer. The company appealed, and the NLRB upheld its ruling in January of this year. Google can appeal to federal court.

Labor laws become meaningless if you can circumvent them with trickery like Google does.
Yes. It even does so in some cases.
it's definitely in acm's interest to do so if they want to claim they're 'open access', and it's in your interest too

i agree that it's beneficial to have a central, trustworthy source. if redistributing cacm articles is clearly legal, and the acm goes under, you'll get them from the internet archive, wikisource, project gutenberg, google's new historical acm article archive, or some similar institution. if redistributing cacm articles is not clearly legal, you'll have to get them from library genesis, sci-hub, or the pirate bay, with the associated risks of incorrect contents—but only until those get shut down following a change of government

well, maybe you personally won't, because you have a position at a university, and you can easily just use its library. but the people you'd like to have as your students 20 years from now, people who are now living here in argentina or in ukraine or egypt, will have to get them from there

an additional issue is that, in many cases, the 'central trustworthy source' does a really bad job of scanning paper documents: they use bilevel scanning for photographs (sometimes even color photographs), scan at very low resolution, chop off the pages, and so forth. i run into these constantly; https://www.nasa.gov/history/alsj/a17/A17_LunarRover2.html is probably the most recent example. although allowing other people to scan their copies and distribute the scans does not ensure that they will correct this problem, prohibiting them from doing so reduces the chances further

analogous remarks apply to translation

and that's why the berlin declaration enshrines the right for readers to redistribute works and derivative works as central to open access
