A Google engineer ran a secret startup in China while stealing AI technology
You might want to stress that Opera is Chinese-controlled then; which is different from Chinese-owned.

(Eg Google is controlled by its founders, who still have the majority of share voting rights and are in power as executives. But it's not majority owned by them anymore.)
>Kinda surprising how much power the EU can exert on tech companies.

The EU represents one sixth of the global economy - why do you find its power surprising?

Joe Biden to propose big tax rises for billionaires and corporate America

IMO the question for me is how close OpenAI is to controlling their destiny. They raised $11.3B over 6 rounds at current valuation of ~$80B.

It could go into the trillions if they were the first to invent AGI and ensure no one else gets it for a few years.

To me OpenAI is really an extension of MSFT.

Big AI is really now a game between META/Fair, GOOG/Deepmind, MSFT/OpenAI and to some degree Amazon/Anthropic.

Those 4 have the capital, compute, data & ML researches.

Sure Nvidia is hot right now but I kinda feel they don't have long term moat. Apple dropped to #2. My prediction is they will slowly drop to #3 unless they innovate.
what's important about X is that it works.
I don’t believe it’s possible or reasonable for Congress to make all laws and regulations for every part of our society.

I think the only thing at question should be the scope of delegation and there are arguments to be made about that.

IMO this argument is an attempt by small government conservatives to dismantle most/all regulatory oversight and rule making knowing full well that congress cannot meaningfully substitute.
I dont understand right-wing politicians sometimes.
Something like this has happened in sweden and now employers there are starving for talent.
basically there is a salary limit that changes often and a person who has already met the requirements for a work permit all of a sudden needs to have their salary increased same month the limit changes or face renewal-extension of work permit and immediate deportation.

We are not talking here about low-wage workers either (can you imagine the level of knowledge and skills required to work for ASML), why attack that group of people specifically?
> But I'm not sure how you can state this as fact without knowing where I've worked or having data to back it up.

Because you haven't met them. Where you've worked is irrelevant. Either a) they exist, and you've not met them because you work somewhere that excluded them, or b) all of the places you've worked hired equally from the pool of all programmers, and didn't happen to find any. without knowing where you've worked, I can state for a fact that where you've worked had hiring standards, explicit or implicit, affected by internal and external factors. Thus, B is less likely than A, despite having no data on where you've worked. It's not possible you've worked at every company in every subfield there is to our industry, and thus you've not encountered every type of programmer there is. Programmers for ransomware groups are gonna be a much different group of individuals than from those programming VR goggle firmware, are different from PhD candidates writing code to never get reused, to programmers for HFT desks, for instance.

There are 4 quadrants:

. dumb | smart
messy __1___|___2___
clean 3 | 4

Your theory is that only 2 and 3 exist, and that 1 and 4 are impossible. The world is wide, and I've met programmers in 1 and 4, with as much evidence as you do, anecdotal evidence. If you do have data to back up your claim, I'd love to be proven wrong! Because while my habits put me into group 2, I'm definitely more in group 1.
<a href="https://poudrsang.ir/">Wax powder</a> is a special substance used to create a protective layer on various surfaces. This powder is made from a combination of different materials that adhere to the desired surface and, once dried, create a protective layer on it. Wax powder is typically used to protect metal, wood, and even fabrics. This substance is commonly used in various industries such as automotive, furniture making, and others as an effective method to protect surfaces against scratches, rust, and other environmental damages.
If you have frequent flyer status at any airline, the higher status the better, make sure to let their customer service know. It appears that economic pressure will be the only way to eliminate these aircraft from public use, as the regulators are working with the manufacturer for ways to keep them in service indefinitely.
>I have no idea what you're talking about I'm sorry.

It's ok no need to apologize here. You've done nothing wrong.

Style and neatness extends beyond linters. For example naming. I can choose bad names. The linter won't catch it. I can choose inconsistent names and the linter won't catch it.

Also style can refer to programming style. One programmer may prefer recursion the other for loops. Another programmer may prefer dependency injection while a golang programmer is more against that style.

None of these things are pedantic imo.

I would also kindly request that you don't say stuff like this: "Maybe you have some other experience of pointless pedantry but I don't know what it is.". It comes off as bit rude to me. Though I assume that was not your intention it did come off that way and I would just like this conversation to continue amicably.
Natural experiment: supply side vs. demand side economics
Even as a desktop os Linux in general as a windows/Mac OS replacement for the every day person is strongly disadvantaged by being a shit tier user experience. I've tried to switch several times for laptop OS and just gave up. Even if everything was easy and solid, and it had the same abysmal trackpad support it has now, I wouldn't use it. But basically every facet of the experience is like that trackpad support.

I don't even want to think about what a ghetto the mobile experience probably is.
I also have been to ex military talks at my non military job, as motivational speeches. Nothing about military operations translates to civilian jobs. It's all cool how "we were under enemy fire and I had to get our team to the chopper", but no one is shooting at us, so we can just sit in our own excrements all day and the next day.
> adding the third body is a simple as making N=2 instead of N=3

As a computer scientist this sounds odd to me, but if you are the sole consumer of your own API, you do you!
Yeah, that's part of what I'm talking about, for sure. Being able to, say, click a little expand icon to see other pins that aren't usually necessary, is great for discoverability. I'm not a big fan of library maintainers deciding that I can only use certain inputs for an underlying function that I know has more functionality. Node authors should, of course, be able to guide, but I don't appreciate them having the ability to control.

More than that, though, it's about the difference between 'data references' and 'execution flow'. It's something that Unreal makes very, VERY obvious. Color coding data types, emphasizing execution flow lines, etc. I can't recommend using it as a guide, enough. Whatever problem I've come up with as 'complicated' for visual scripting, they've got an elegant solution for.

Even stuff like being able to 'break' nodes into other nodes, or pins into other pins. So a "Point" node might be useful for sending into a function expecting a Point data type, but you might also want to send just that Point's x or y value to something else. In that scenario, you might 'break' the exit pins into a Point reference, an x reference, and a y reference. It would be cumbersome and unruly to always have that available. But the UX to make it available is straightforward and satisfying.

And then, all of that aside, I just prefer the visual look of pins integrated into the nodes. The extra lines you get from drawing between the pin and the node is messy and since you can't move them independently, they don't really add anything. Just a lot of extra buffer to prevent a 'crowded' feeling. But at least that's not something unique to Unreal. I don't think I've ever seen a visual scripting system that used pins as separate elements. So maybe it's just saturation bias. But I do like what I like!

Anyway, I'll definitely mess around with it and see if it can help with its embedded version. To be completely honest, I think there's too much friction, overall. I would need something to render as plain javascript, rather than a JSON structure or minified JS (or typescript), so there's a translation there. And then to get it graphically how I want it would be complicated due to all the domain-knowledge required for integrating with your app's underlying library (looks like next js? Not sure, but it's not something I want to work with). Not to be too pessimistic or anything. Most libraries work toward providing a complete solution, not towards providing a composable, compsitable, modular set of utilities, which is what I need. I don't hold any contempt for providing what you've provided because it's a hell of a thing and perfect for a lot of use cases, I'm sure! I'm just very pragmatic about my own use-cases, and my development quirks (like not using libraries that obfuscate functionality [next, react, svelte, etc]).
So... what's your username on wikifeet?
> FWIW, Hamas's charter states that it's issue is with the Zionist Project and not Jews.

Oh yes! Still, that's an untenable position. Israel was created so that all Jews could have a state of their own because of the suffering inflicted upon them. There really is no going back on that.

For me, a single democratic and secular state, with a legal framework that protects everybody's rights equally and fairly would be the best possible solution, but that would be a multi-generation effort (about 80 years too late, BTW).
thanks haha
Worse still, it pretends that interviews only became nightmarish last year, and everything was great up to 2022.
I enjoy how it builds on previous success WITH its use of regex. There is nothing quite LIKE ideas from the 50's haunting you in your sleep.

SELECT age FROM Customers WHERE Country='Mexico'

Could be written something like:

table.customers.filter(c=>c.country == "Mexico").age

The filter is kinda ugly, there is this strange assumption there to be only one Mexico in country.

Clearly the most advanced approach is this:

//customer[country="mexico"]/age

You realize that the liberal justices concurred because of the threat of cracked southern/midwestern other states removing presidents besides trump from the ballot if this precedent were established, right? If the liberals had been on the winning side the opinion would have read vastly differently than it did.
That's the outcome I'm hoping to get from all these VR/AR tech people are working on. I believe we have the hardware to make this work and someone just needs to build the software.
And one of those “constraints” is that Congress is empowered to create federal agencies to execute its laws. The rules under those agencies are backed by enabling legislation, and if you disagree with the connection between a rule and its enabling legislation, you can go to court and make that argument.

I think what you’re really getting at is you’d prefer a far more dysfunctional government, since the actual moral/legal foundation would be no different. All of the federal agencies and their rules are derivative of Congressional acts, and again, if you disagree you can just go to court. Exactly as it would be if, for some reason, we decided that congress had to pass every single individual rule and sub rule and subsubrule and subsubsubrule exception 2 infraction 6 exemption 16.a and if, to combat any assessment of infraction, you had to go directly into the actual judicial system.

All the legal basis is identical, the only thing that’s different is how wildly ineffective it’d be. If that’s your goal, just say it so we can move on.
My perspective has long been -- since well before the free money printer stopped going brr -- that the reason tech interviews are insane has little to do with rising interest rates or monetary factors per se.

It's because tech dev / coding jobs are one of the few white collar fields that, historically, have not de-facto required a pile of advanced degrees. Maybe i'm getting old, but "you don't need a degree if you're hot shit" has long been part of the atmosphere: from old school hackers to the long history of founders who drop out of school to work on their startup, etc.

This directly leads to interviews being the gate: if we can't know what you are by what degrees you have / what papers you published / what lab you did your dissertation in / what bar exam you passed / what hospital you did your residency in / who you clerked for / etc. ... then we're going to have to do all 4-8 years of post-undergrad pain and suffering all at once, during the interview, so grab a whiteboard and buckle up!

It's ... less than ideal.

edit: what's less than ideal is the perverse incentive force that creates bad interviews. The recognition that a degree doesn't guarantee job fit is not a bad one, though; you really can be more successful in software dev if you're self-taught / uncredentialed than you can in many other disciplines.

Russia doesn't allow ukrainians back to the occupied territories, they deport the non-complicit ones and the remaining ones are heavily oppressed. That should be the excuse for Poland or the rest of EU to not let the refugees in?

I'm a little surprised by this. Years ago, early in the extrasolar planetary gold rush, there was a scandal where one group was accused of scooping another group by looking at the public logs of what stars they were observing (not on Webb, but on a ground based telescope.)
I'm specifically referring to consumers here though, not oversight or regulation.

Consumers wouldn't be asking airlines to replace planes, they would simply be saying they're unwilling to fly on the planes airlines are offering.

Consumers don't have a concept of "too big to fail" - that's a government concern. We individually decide what we want to spend our money on, its as simple as that. If people were actually concerned with Boeing they'd stop flying on Boeing planes.
If the goal is just to test intelligence, why are we even pretending doing something else and not just giving IQ tests.

I think the US chose not to level Baghdad and if it had, it would’ve been at least as catastrophic as what’s going on in Gaza. So no it’s not merely a matter of a different situation, it’s a matter of different decisions.
Show HN: X (Twitter) API integration is back on Pipedream
We are excited to launch our updated X (Twitter) API integration!

Our mission at Pipedream is to enable developers and technical teams to quickly build, test, and deploy serverless workflows and automations. Combining the speed of no-code with the power and flexibility of code level control.

To deliver on this, we are continuously expanding on the nearly 2,000 apps we support as well as the 5,000+ pre-built triggers & actions included for those apps.

Our X (Twitter) app allows anyone with a paid Twitter Developer account to easily build workflows connecting Twitter to all of their other SaaS applications.

A common theme amongst customers has been that the paid developer account requirement has led to many of the tools in their tech stack no longer including a native Twitter integration. They have been able to use the Pipedream X (Twitter) app to continue to pass this information to their other tools and keep on top of how their brand is represented on the social network.

The team at Pipedream has had a long-standing workflow, which the entire team loves, where social mentions are tracked in a Slack channel enabling the team to quickly engage with folks talking about our product. You can read more about this workflow on a recent blog post from our DevRel team:

https://pipedream.com/blog/real-time-notifications-on-x-keyw...

We always love hearing how customers use our apps to build solutions for their team, so if you are using or looking to use this app please let us know what you are thinking about building.
After Big Oil's waves of consolidations, Big Solar could be next
Leetcode interviews are actually very similar to asian country style college entrance exams. Foreign engineers (> 75% of engineers at FAANG are foreign), will spend months studying. Turns out people willing to study like that also make reliable employees that proved they can learn computer science. This to the detriment of regular americans that dont want to prove themselves every time they switch jobs.
I was an avid Computer Shopper consumer, alongside the Speccy and Amiga magazines, not only due to the depth of articles, the typical British humor on the reviews was also quite appealing.
In this case, 'tend to be worse' could simply mean they receive more negative reviews, because the overall volume of jobs they pick up is huge compared to plumbers who didn't try to manipulate where they appeared in the directory. Happy customers leave fewer reviews than angry ones.
> The second is more effective at dealing with groups and generally is more pleasant to work with, except when they lose touch with reality completely and goes berserk with groupthink.

The uncomfortable truth is that such people always have lost touch with reality, that makes them very easy to deal with when they like you since they will overlook your faults and mistakes. But when such people dislike you then they will only see faults and mistakes in what you do.

So it isn't that the first and second versions of those are more attuned to reality, the difference is only how positive or negative their lack of reality check is for you.
Entry-level and non-senior positions have truly hellish interview processes. Five-six interview stages, week+ take-home projects, ghosting, zero-feedback. Large number of companies interviewing with no intention of hiring. This is absolutely worse than other professions, I've recently made a bit of a career change and the interview involved one informal conversation, and my past experience/education was actually taken at face value.
Looks fine to me, thanks!
What if the sample of the people I hang out with are a completely accurate representation of the entire domain? Would the paradox still apply?
Ask HN: Why are modern devices so terrible at accurate timekeeping?
When I check the clock on my phone or laptop against my radio alarm or time.is, I usually see a time drift between a second or two. Now, this isn't really a problem when it comes to simply knowing the approximate time, but it gives me massive headaches when it comes to file syncing.

I have a server to which I constantly synchronize all of my important files as a read-only backup. Now, the issue is that when I make a change on device A, sync it to device B, make another change there, and then sync it to my server - then there is a reasonable chance that the timestamps of the two changes will either overlap or be in reverse order! This will, obviously, lead to data loss.

What boggles my mind is how easy this would be to fix! Windows already uses NTP to sync the system clock, but it seems to do this so rarely as to regularly accrue seconds of time drift. Why? NTP sync requires negligible amounts of system resources.

Even worse is my phone. It can obviously receive GPS signals for geolocation, and therefore has access to the most accurate time signal available. But it doesn't even use it! When my phone is disconnected from any network, it will simply get less and less accurate while throwing away a constant stream of atomic timestamps from the GPS antenna. And while it is connected to the network, it suffers from the same weird reluctance to sync itself to time servers as often as possible.

Genuinely, am I missing something? My old 30$ Casio radio watch has more accurate time than all the very much more sophisticated and expensive tech around me. Why?
Yes. The MR linked above is calm, but the mentioned background issue was not.
One of the definitions of "against", taken from Merriam Webster:

OP's code is "in contact with" the public APIs provided by GTK. That is, OP uses the GTK library.
10 years ago it was usually 1 hour discussion with a hiring manager and the team. Worst case a FizBaz question.
Now it's 5-6 interviews that involve leetcode or fairly long/complicated programming tasks (and sometimes take home test).
I think it's just ageism, we have too many developers with family obligations and they are pushed out of the market because they can't spend doing 6 hours of leetcode preparations after 9 hours of day job.
I would like to say that I’ve known and worked with PhDs that were good and some that were totally useless. I wouldn’t trust it as a very useful signal for a job interview.

Programming is more of a trade and academic institutions barely teach the craft.

Photography in particular is frustratingly easy to get wrong. Even if someone tries to be careful, there are a number of conditions that I'm guessing aren't met to the letter a lot of the time. Furthermore, when things like presentation slides are being reused and modified, attributions get separated from photographs all the time.

Finally that doesn't even get into CC-non-commercial which no one can agree what it means and that Creative Commons itself punted on defining in the latest license iteration.

Directory with .sql files starting with a number. Each file contains a set of changes to the db. The db has a table with the number that was applied last. To migrate your db you check if you have a file with a number that is higher than the one in the db. Then you apply that file to your db. That’s it.

The IAB does not actually receive any personal data from anyone. It's pretty much a standards body who write specs for how consent can be granted, and how that consent is transmitted. It's all open, there are no secrets about how this operates.

So, it appears that anyone/company who writes a spec around data that may be considered PII is now a Data Controller.
