Even a lot of the open source stuff is runs by companies listed on Crunchbase with millions of dollars of VC backing. That software isn't gonna maintain itself if the cash runs out.

Open source may be safer than proprietary software in that regard, but it's still not a guarantee. Still far preferable IMO.
IME, the pedestrian has a Don't Walk sign if the car has a green left turn arrow.

If the car has a plain green light and is turning left, then they need to watch for pedestrians and for oncoming traffic.
#1 is major shareholders

#2 is senior management and senior employees (so minor shareholders and OG value creators)

#3 is probably a tossup between regular employees and customers, e.g. doing the bare minimum not to alienate either one.

Lisp has quote, unquote, and friends allowing you to turn code into data, then manipulate it and then turn it back into code. These are all the tools you need to create on-the-fly compilers. Here's an article explaining the lost art:

I found homes via Mastadon! I posted what I had, including pictures, and added tags like #vintageapple, #retroapple, and #retrocomputing.

YMMV depending on where you live, but I'm sure you will get some positive responses.
Desserts can definitely send your levels quite high but I don't think I'd qualify some biryani and naan with a reading of 80 as unhealthy. You probably ate a healthy portion and left it at that. Is 80 not well within the normal range?
Have you actually published a console game? The process is night and day.
Al Jazeera has been closer to neutral than not, avoiding, for example, overly emotional language or calling everything a genocide.
That's not true at all. Try posting an overtly political article and it will be blocked.

But maybe i'm wrong? I posted this[1], let's see what happens.

Edit: as expected, it was flagged, which I am not complaining about. I don't want divisive political stories on HN.

My point is that when the occasional political story makes it through to the front page, it almost always has a specific political bent.
And when malware gets occasionally through, it is because walled garden should be actually a concrete sphere buried 1km under the ground.
Interestingly, C# (which began its life as a sort of Java/Delphi crossover syntactically) agrees. It used to be that you had to write:

class Program {
static void Main() {
Console.WriteLine("...");
}
}

But these days, we can just do:

Console.WriteLine("...");
I've had some very close relationships with C levels at some big and medium companies. I've caught them lying in varying degrees more than once.

Sometimes though the job demands it. They're potentially not allowed to disclose something which leaves lying or saying nothing as the only other options. This works well until someone already knows the truth -- has their own source of information.

I didn't take offense, I just learned not to take what they said at face value. It's not a bad lesson in general. C level executives often learn to be ruthless, depending on the org, they can end up in real internal power struggles as well.
I’d assume not otherwise he’d have linked to it too.
I love userscripts, and I'm so happy to see and hear that other are using them and developing them. Well done, Will! I hope you keep making userscripts!
The comment I was replying to was referencing OpenAIs use of the phrase "the path to AGI". Natural language is an essential interface to AGI, and OpenAI recognizes that. LLMs are a great way to interface with natural language, and OpenAI recognizes that.

While it's kind of nuts how far OpenAI pushed language models, even as an outside observer it's obvious that OpenAI is not banking on LLMs achieving AGI, contrary to what the person I was replying to said. Lots of effort is being put into integrating with outside sources of knowledge (RAG), outside sources for reason / calculation, etc. That's not LLMs as AGI, but it is LLMs as a step on the path to AGI.
It is unclear exactly what Epic lost access to, but you can have access to the CIP section required to get a certificate with an Alternative Marketplace entitlement without having access to the App Store Connection section which allows you to publish to the App Store.
I don't like WorldCoin, but I don't like sending internet services my passport and birth certificate to prove to them that I am human either.

The actual problem - which is waiting for a solution - is undeniable. (This isn't often the case with cryptocurrency projects.)
Alternative app marketplaces are required to accept an agreement including payment terms to Apple. It is still a business relationship in Apple's DMA implementation.
At the age of 45 I had never had an HbA1c test. I found out I had T2 diabetes from getting a CGM as part of a health study I applied for, and seeing my blood glucose was at 22mmol (it should be under 10). I ordered a finger prick test kit from Amazon assuming the GCM was faulty but it wasn’t. After this I went to the doctors who confirmed with an HbA1c and put me on Metformin.

It certainly should be part of routine checkups in my opinion, but I had never had more than blood pressure check and a weigh in from my doctor.
Ongoing hostilities by which party..

The game of propaganda - the side with the best funded and most sophisticated and networked censorship-suppression-narrative control apparatus - manufactures consent for what people believe, from what scope and narrowed context and angle they're perceive a situation at; and when the truth is becoming too clear the clarity is fogged with emotion and outrage.
It is absolutely not in a similar category. You cannot compare a fraud case that prosecutors estimate cost the UK a million quid to something that costs nobody nothing.

Alemi "forged a degree certificate and a letter of verification from the University of Auckland to support her application" (quoting Wikipedia).

Transmen and transwomen are not forging any institutional credentials.

Transmen and transwomen can and do get completely legitimate, updated institutional credentials reflecting their gender.

What next, are you going to complain about someone publishing a scientific paper under her maiden name (that she's known by) rather than her legal married name? I know a couple of women who have done that.

If you meet a woman going by "Mrs." and wearing a wedding ring, then find out that she's unmarried, traveling single, and pretending to be married to keep unwanted suitors away, are you going to start calling her "Miss" and tell other people she's actually not married? Or will you be polite and refer to her as "Mrs. Smith"?

Or is Miss Smith a fraudster like the fake doctor?

The transphobes always point to the same very small number of cases as if that's meaningful. They know it's a small number, which is why they resort to using irrelevant cases like Kurtis Mawson to prop up the numbers.

The thing is, everything has a cost. Referring to people as "Dr." or "Mrs." or "Miss", or "Major", or "Hajji", or "Father", .. or changed maiden, married, divorced, and re-married names ... plus nicknames that are all context dependent. Someone might be referred to as Baron Inglewood when in the House of Lords, Mr. Richard Fletcher-Vane in the tax register, and for all I know "Stinky" to his schoolmates.

Yet we still manage to muddle through all that mismash of names, trying to be both correct and polite.

Even if you don't think it's correct for a woman to wear a wedding ring when not married, it's still polite to not let that bother you.
With all the hype around AI I'm sure people are trying out all sorts of products that could have vulnerabilities like this. For example, imagine a recruiter hooks up an AI product to auto-read their LinkedIn messages and evaluate candidates. An attacker would just have to contact them, get the AI to read something of theirs, and this prompt attack could expose private information about the recruiter and/or company. The attacker would just need the recruiter to view the image (or better yet, have the service prefetch the image) to expose the data.
I don't get why things like CGMs require a prescription. It's just a kind of a wearable sensor. While typically only a diabetic person would need it, I fail to see any harm for any adult human if they get curious and want to stick one.

There are odd things like glasses or CPAP machine prescriptions - but at least I understand it's theoretically possible to cause some harm to oneself with those, if someone is really uneducated, reckless or stupid. With a CGM I just can't think of a sensible scenario. Except for the really stupid ones, but then a simple kitchen fork is a four times worse hazard.
Epic is sending a strong signal to regulators that they're malicious, and can't be trusted to police themselves. It's a terrible look under the circumstances.
There are very few nighttime trains and it would take me a good extra hour to get home even once I caught one of the sparse trains. If I had to take the train in for a play I'd simply pass.
Learning nix results in needing more therapy, though;)
If it's syntactically messy, though, it's not really the easy path. Ergonomics matter just as much as semantics.

I do think that a superset of Rust that provided first-class native syntax for ARC would be much more popular.
Yes, they care, although this of course varies. Remember that in this situation: one of the founders had already left, another was "giving up", and other key employees had left. Tech companies were laying off like crazy, and your chance of getting your money back via another round was about 0%. Would you be willing to subsidize a bunch of jobs in a bad-trajectory company with disinterested/absent leadership? Or would you instead think to engineer an outcome like this where the employees get a job offer and a bonus, one of your other investments gets a chance at top talent, a serial entrepreneur founder remains happy with you, and you get some money back?

Depending on timing (and here it was just over a year between the round closing and the acquisition), you may be able to easily re-deploy the capital you get back as another investment included in the same fund, and get another shot at a 100x return.

I'd be curious to hear what others think (particularly actual VCs, not just pretend ones like me) but this seems like a very rational outcome to me.
that and more magic of sed, awk, jq and similar. I know you can do real magic in there but still, I believe it's easier to learn GUI than vim shortcuts or sophisticated jq/awk formulas. Still, I admire terminal for being around for so long and follow it as an example when building Logdy.
I’d highly recommend anyone considering trying one out to give it a pin. I’ve used a CGM multiple times besides being a great feedback mechanism, it also can give you really interesting insights. Here’s one interesting tidbit showing that having an ice cream cone in between an hour-long walk actually caused no postprandial glucose spike compared to an earlier “healthy” meal served with no activity (at a metabolic health conference) https://fediverse.randomfoo.net/notice/Aafczv5LO83OOwXrbU
If only it played well with Linux, but Mono is always playing catch-up
Given their complicity with the October 7th attack, this is not a credible source. The ICJ is hearing the case—they maintain legitimacy.
The reason I haven't bought into the Apple mobile ecosystem wholly is because of the power they could exert.

My friends' counterarguments were always that they did not currently exert that power to the detriment of users.

To which my reply was "Show me a few down quarters, missed growth targets, or a threat to one of their primary sources of revenue and see what they do."

Any company should always be expected to pathologically leverage all forms of control it can, if it needs to generate profit.
Thanks! Hearing (I'm assuming) a fellow T1 using and working on a TSlim is quite a good recommendation haha.

It's good to hear that calibration isn't really required.

My "concern" (or rather, apprehension) with the TSlim/G6 setup (which fortunately should be fully covered by Dutch insurance) is that I'm aware I can do a DIY loop using the omnipod dash and with a libre/g6 (using a 3rd party app like diabox & nightscout if necessary). From what I've heard TSlim does seem to be the best "official"/FDA approved loop; however AndroidAPS looks very powerful and probably has much finer tunings possible.

However my diabetic nurse is strongly against the Dash/DIY setup, which is understandable (she isn't familiar with it and can't guide me, I'm also close to the 150u/3day limit, and it's my first time with a pump.)

For what it's worth an A1C of even 8 would unfortunately be an improvement where I am :') so I'd rather be sure of reaching say 7 rather than try aggressively for something like 6.3 (which I had achieved in a distant era...). I think I'll try the 1 year trial option if I can, the thought of locking in a 4 year period feels quite long.

If you're familiar with them, what are your opinions on diy loop setups? Do you have any other suggestions for someone in my situation? Thanks a lot!
Been a trope for at least as long as I’ve been watching movies, which is 30 years.
Because designing hardware is a mess. Especially if you want to tweak designs a bit.

I'd love to be able to design circuits the way I can do with 3D printing.
For those interested in a no-code solution, I was able to do something similar in Figma with help of some plugins:

1. Use Mapcrate plugin to pull in OSM layers as vector layers: https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1251030017228239072/v...

2. Extrude polygon layers using Fig3d: https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/946020080871644950/fi...
> The conclusion argues that the designation of individual responsibility for crashes preempts collective responsibility, preventing wider adoption of design interventions as well as systemic changes to the processes that determine the built environment of US roadways.

I don't quite understand (based only on the abstract): Are they suggesting that we alter the data (re: who is responsible) to achieve a certain outcome? Do they want to 'prevent wider adoption of design interventions'?

I expect the answer to those questions is 'no', of course, but I don't understand their argument or conclusion.

@luu: as submitter, what did you see in this paper?

Recently my favorite open source mouse gestures extension SmartUp Gestures was taken over by some shady entity (with github no longer being updated of course).

I opened Chrome ticket that they should ask to re-enable extension when ownership changes. They just closed the ticket replying with this link:

https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/main/extens...

:(
They talk about a future bug bounty program - I'm certainly intrigued, and if the up-front hardware costs aren't too high I might give it a go.
Apple is asking for a clear commitment to honor its contract this time. I'm pretty sure a court ruling on reinstating the account isn't going to also require a clear commitment to honor the contract.
So you are suggesting that international law vis a vis war does not apply during war?
Maybe it would've delayed this for longer- less of a casus belli for the likes of Epic. Apple was lucky for avoiding App Store scrutiny for over a decade.
They also moved around more than most people do today. Most of us are stuck sitting pretty much all day in front of a computer.
Only if using old school ‘blanket the area’ monopole antennas or if the goal was to cover the entire potential area all at once -but that seems unlikely to be desirable most of the time.

Phased arrays and beam steering would allow them to pick and choose the area at will with high resolution - or even specific targets like several hundred airliners at once.

Notably, the same things that starlink needs for being able to properly track base stations and communicate at the timescale/numbers it needs, and the tech is widely used in everything from cell phone towers to military.

Starlink has it a lot easier due to LEO, but they’re also a private company with a much harder problem and on a shoestring budget compared to a nation state.

TDP would be a lot lower if they could get it focused well enough. And it wouldn’t need to be operating all the time - a ‘war’ mode vs sleep mode seems like it would work too.

When not jamming, it could be a passive signals intelligence platform.

Or build a couple dozen and put in a lower orbit. Not like it would make a dent in China or Russias military budget, or require any tech newer than 20 years old for them.
Gaza civilians are not on the Hamas “side”.
As a recent convert to neovim after using vim for many years, /r/neovim is pretty nice.

I created a MFA TOTP generator using ESP32 to improve my DX while working with services that require MFA and have a short session time. I noticed that using my phone to get a TOTP was making my experience with MFA a little bit more difficult, because I had to unlock my phone, then locate the virtual MFA TOTP app, unlock it, and then scroll until I find the MFA for the AWS account I wanted to access via the aws cli. I then decided to fix this problem, because for me it was a problem. My solution is described in details in this github repository and I hope it can make other people's dx better too when using MFA. All the features I plan to implement are described on the README. I'm also going to create a chrome extension to ask the device for a TOTP and automatically fill MFA forms. Something similar to what Bitwarden does.

It's super hard to get this right. E.g. if you only update the cache after the transaction commits, you might commit without updating the cache, or if 2 writers interleave, the first one to commit might make the final update to the cache with a stale value.
Look at the mess Vercel created with their Next.js app router.
Too bad the buttons come out with transparent background. I gave up and used boostrap 5, since I had to actually get work done instead of reading github issues.
It is probably a good description of what society has become, there are a lot of people who go on repeating that these big tech are just corporations for profit and don’t have to signal any good intention, because it doesn’t make them any profit, and being bad doesn’t make them lose any profit, because we’ve become just a bunch of ignoring consumers going after the next gadget blindly, these companies are shit, because it doesn’t cost them anything anymore

What I keep wondering is why iSheeps don’t complain, like they’re the ones who are buying these overpriced crap, then being squeezed of 30% every time they get an app, who they think is going to pay for the apple tax at the end of the day
Almost makes me long for the days of Earl Scheib's "I'll paint any car any color, no ups and no extras".
The expressive type system of Rust is backed by use-site mutability; use-site mutability is backed by single ownership; single ownership is made usable by borrow checking. There's a reason no language before Rust has been like Rust without being a functional language (and if that's no object, then you can use OCaml).
This is Cunningham’s Law. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ward_Cunningham#%22Cunningham'...
I'm more curious about the experience a non-diabetic person has. For one, the purpose of using the device is quite different, and not related to a life threatening situation. And because the focus isn't to manage this specific issue, the insights and potential utility seem like they'd be of an entirely different variety.

e.g. I know that the things I eat impact my blood sugar, but don't have the same kind of intimate awareness a diabetic person would have, nor would the changes in my levels have the same meaning/impact.

Put another way, and setting aside the issue of oversimplifying a complex system (so is measuring RHR, HRV, blood oxygen, etc.), the benefit of CGM for a diabetic person is obvious. The benefit of CGM for a curious person less so.
> Why do you think it asked Israel to prevent acts of Genocide instead of asking both sides of preventing acts of Genocide?

Hamas explicitly calls for the destruction of Israel and Jews. Nobody has any doubts around what they would do if they had military supremacy.

The ICJ won’t order them to not commit acts of genocide because they aren’t the object of South Africa’s complaint. (I also don’t believe they fall under ICJ jurisdiction, being a non-state actor.)
1) OpenAI did not change their mission. They are still pursuing AI. They are simply making more money doing it now than they did when they started.

2) Lots of non-profits make a profit. A non-profit is not defined by losing money, it is defined by the nature of what it does with its money, and what parts of its revenue are subject to taxation and what parts are tax-free. For example: the Microsoft contract would have been subject to income tax even if was directly with the OpenAI non-profit entity; moving that to the for-profit subsidiary just simplifies the accounting.

3) I do not think that OpenAI's mission should have ever qualified it for IRC 501(c)(3) status, but the IRS didn't agree and at this point it would be very difficult to challenge the (parent entity)'s non-profit status.
IIFEs still exist!
Out of curiosity, how hard would it be to take a rideshare home? Too expensive?
The ICJ said no such thing. Read the ruling. It said something along the lines of the "rights of the Palestinian people to be protected from genocide and the rights of South Africa to seek this protection are plausible".

The use of the word genocide in this context is just pure propaganda. There are plenty of conflicts with significantly higher human toil where this word is not used.
Interesting take. I get why people writing a certain class of programs love Rust, but I can assure you Svelte doesn't do much to ensure correctness of the front-end app. It's just way more ergonomic than React for the vast majority of small to mid-size projects, and probably large projects too.

Rust is also about 100X as difficult to learn as Svelte (assuming you have basic familiarity with front-end dev), and easier to learn than React as well. Speaking from personal experience.
The reality is that there don't seem to be many applications that can't be solved with a regular computer. Yes, there are some applications like crypto algorithms, but they were designed to be especially hard to compute. So far, quantum machines haven't shown any real results, even on the simplest toy examples from cryptography.

Most engineering problems can be solved with a bit of careful approximation. You really don't need all of the craziness of these supercooled monstrosities. I'll be very curious to see if anyone can come up with a real application that needs them.
