Not an expert at all, but does freedom of speech hold for foreigners/foreign entities?

Apart from the fact that to me an app is not speech, but that's an entirely different matter.

Si vis pacem, para bellum

> freedom also slavery

Total freedom for one includes their ability to enslave others.

My point is, you’re presenting false dichotomies to justify another (the political and the non-political).
I'll tell you what's unserious - people wanting to actually solve the housing crisis. Every solution is 100% idiotic. The way we currently operate is to build more housing, they are building a dramatic amount of housing, and the price of a house is still $400k medium. It is telling me they are not selling to families but instead to corporations, bnbers, rentals, foreign governments.

Tiktol doesn't use location unless you explicitly turn it on. It also asks for storage access only if you click the download button.
You are correct. The former are excellent quality timber, the latter are quite poor.
Or maybe trying to sway users overtly seems like a mistake?

Could trying to sway users subtly have still been a win in this instance?

I'd think a platform doing manipulation subtly is actually more dangerous, and the bigger potential threat from a platform. Because people being influenced would be less aware of it, and it's much harder for other parties to call out.

(Although, when I look at current TV news and some other outlets, there's such blatant manipulation and dumbing-down, from both political "sides", I wonder how more than a small minority of people can tolerate watching that, much less mimicking it. And calling it out just gets tossed into ineffectual echo-chamber sports-fandom-like noise. So maybe subtle isn't as additionally threatening as I'd been assuming.)
>About traslating this from a virtual world to the real world... I can't imagine who would think it's a good idea to give this type of freedom to machines in a physical world, were consequences are way riskier than something digital (and yes, digitally they could empty your bank account, physically they could kill someone. One is much worser than the other).

Right now there are robots in many factories around the world, some are discrete machines that aren't tethered down and have movement capabilities. You don't think that there are factory managers/etc out there drooling about the idea of getting those or something similar to be able to do general factory tasks?

Imagine your employee who tapes up boxes before shipment quits one day out of the blue. "Hey, package carrying bot 9000, can you go tape those boxes? I'll have someone show you what to do"

Not necessarily a good idea still but just because we don't want it doesn't mean there aren't a million beneficial uses of this kind of generalizing.
Strictly speaking, you don't need to distribute anything more than ads to "thus make money" off a webapp. The end-goal of webapps is not to challenge Apple's revenue though, it's to offer meaningful (see: persistent) capabilities that write-once and ship-anywhere.

You're being a reductive troll. Stop making bad-faith arguments if that's the only way you intend to contribute to the discussion.
My experience is that contract work like this ends up being done by ordertakers; the contractors execute the design, no matter how stupid.

Whereas, the best performing companies hire engineers who are empowered to understand the goals, understand the problem, and push back when appropriate.

The results are much better, because the people working on each system, understand it deeply and care.

A low-cost contractor isn’t allowed to care. They aren’t even allowed to talk to somebody who matters.

This is a management disgrace.
I think you're referring to direnv as opposed to devenv.sh which does compete in the same space. Numentide was working on one too.

I am using devenv.sh at work, at home I just nix develop (but this doesn't do services, but there was a flake util just announced that adds support for that I need to check out).
> disable rendering and keep compute pretty minimal.

So that's what was going on in the Matrix when the humans were staring at all that green text.
Ask HN: What do you do with your (driving) commute time?
I'm relocating to a nearby town, such that my drive-to-work time is going to go from 7 minutes to nearly 60 minutes (but hybrid, so less days a week). This is the one down side of the move. While I don't look forward to increased travel times/costs, I am eager to "make the best of it". I'm curious what others have done to make their commutes not be a complete waste? Looking for recommendations on how to productively use the time to be a better/happier person.
I think we teach people only what we can write in finite formula, and compute in finite time.

This is imv, much like teaching people what's under a street light just because everything else is in darkness.

I think, philosophically, we can build inferential telescopes that point to the vast (epistemic) blackness, inside say, a proton, or a cell, or the chaos in water.

As an ameliorative, or therapeutic project, I think people who build computational models too much should meditate on the number of protons flowing free in a drop of water, and what properties their interactions might bring about. And whether it would ever be possible to know them.
It has its own programming language CSL

https://www.cerebras.net/blog/whats-new-in-r0.6-of-the-cereb...

"CSL allows for compile time execution of code blocks that take compile-time constant
objects as input, a powerful feature it inherits from Zig, on which CSL is based. CSL will be largely
familiar to anyone who is comfortable with C/C++, but there are some new capabilities on top of
the C-derived basics."

Yep, agreed. I think a big driver behind it is that the culture in the US is one that is much more favoring of safety over security. The reactions to Covid certainly didn't help things as it made "freedom" a partisan issue that is now framed as selfishness rather than a high ideal. (and truthfully, selfish people did often use "freedom" as a banner to enablement, but that doesn't negate the importance of freedom as a principle, nor does it justify it's abolishment or abdication IMHO).

I could not extract them from the html source code.
First, as the sibling comment pointed out, the Cochrane review article didn't show that masks were ineffective. "Relatively low numbers of people followed the guidance about wearing masks or about hand hygiene, which may have affected the results of the studies" [1]. Their results were inconclusive since the people the asks to wear masks, didn't.

But there's still evidence that masks are effective. The question of whether N95 filter media can block virus-carrying droplets is a _physics_ question-- which has been replicated in experiment after experiment since the 90s ([2] is a recent study).

I've done a lot of looking, but I've yet to find any explanation as to why if someone is wearing a (properly fitted) N95, so their air goes through a filter media, which has been repeatedly shown to block droplets, they could still inhale disease-carrying droplets.

We need self custody options and this adds to the pool of options .
his team is going to give a very politically correct answer, something like -

"we are not against tiktok, our presence on tiktok is the best proof. we just against the idea that 160 million American users including my team are being spied on by the Chinese government, we want you all to have a better & safer tiktok not owned by China".
Apache on the web is constantly probed for remote exploits, and it requires more preemptive precautions. These issues go well beyond the standard checks for bad bot traffic.

You are correct in that many of the CVEs were not technically Apache itself, but rather supporting libraries and old mods.

Best of luck =)
There's no data on wikipedia about his family. They moved from Taiwan to Thailand and then the US. That doesn't say if they were rich, poor, or who they knew.

I mean, i used to believe self-made man stories until I found out who Bill Gates' mother is. Now I'd rather see some research.
Only reason I thought you were making that assumption was this line: "But what the IRS is doing here is the correct prioritization of problems to attack." It comes across as more than a personal opinion.
Dawn Redwoods prefer hot humid summers and cold winters, like you'd see in NE Asia or the East Coast of the US.
This seems like we're just going to be playing whack-a-mole with the next thing that pops up (perhaps an even more nefarious or nebulously owned app).

Why would we not create better data privacy laws and/or ban the sale/transfer of PII to enemy countries if that's the problem we're trying to solve?
Doesn't the assertion that correct horse battery staple = 2048^4 require the attacker to know that you're using this pattern?
So if TikTok was fully sponsored by the govt and didn't show ads and didn't earn any profit in US, then it can continue operating in US?
LLMs can't really spell as the smallest "block" of information they operate on are tokenized whole words. Same issue with e.g. arithmetic.
I'm not saying it's pure luck. I'm saying the only relevant part is luck.

If you get billions of smart hard working people, you still only get a few hundred billionaires. The only differentiator is luck.

You're one of the lucky that could migrate, went to the right schools, met the right set of people, were born in the right year and so on.

It's purely the logical conclusion. Some people get inspired through quotes like that, and it's probably good to lie to yourself that your hard work will inevitably pay off. But we should all know that it's ultimately a lie.
Yep, Denmark and the Netherlands especially get this right.
44GB is the SRAM on a single device, comparable to the 50MB of L2 on the H100. There is also a lot of directly attached DRAM.
> My guess is they are incorporated there

I don't think the correlation between domain-choice and legal-incorporation is strong enough to support that guess, much like how bit.ly probably isn't incorporated in Libya.

AFAICT ID.me is incorporated in the US state of Delaware, a popular choice due to its local laws.

Good enough is the enemy of resolve obvious problems.

These aren't intractable, or even difficult, problems to resolve. Literally the only thing you have to change is some text.
I agree that there is a huge component of luck. But that does not invalidate the work, risk, and talent involved. Nobody "succeeds" (in the sense of creating a trillion dollar company) just by "working hard" or "being smart".

The fact is it's a lot harder to create a company or build something new, than to be an employee and "work hard" all your life. There's nothing wrong with that, but to pretend that everyone rich (especially this guy!) is just luck is ludicrous.
Ask HN: Sites that share specific company interview questions
I saw that Glassdoor has a section where people can share their interview experience at specific companies, including questions they were asked during the interview.

Are there any other sites doing something similar?

I'm not asking about commonly used interview questions for generic prep. I'm asking about sites where people can share "I was asked ... while interviewing with ..."

I tried searching around but so far haven't found anything else...but my search skills might be poor. Thank you.
How did this change your career?
Not really relevant to Huang's speech per se, but the article engages in IMHO one of the most infuriatingly wrong misconceptions in education journalism:

> [Stanford] is one of the most selective in the United States [...] and the few students who get picked to study there are charged $62,484 in tuition fees for the premium, compared to the average $26,027 per annum cost. But, unfortunately for those saddled with student debt, [...]

Stanford students, and students of elite institutions more generally, are simply not taking on more debt than "typical" college students (for various values of "typical", from large state schools down to community colleges). Most debt loads are regulated and capped, it's extremely hard to get a personal loan beyond that. And to the extent that's not true, it's actually the wealthier students, and ones attending smaller niche schools outside the normal finanancial aid world, that bear the highest loads.

A quick google turned up this list, which roughly matches my understanding:

https://www.collegetransitions.com/dataverse/average-student...

Sort by highest debt load per student, and note (1) how many of the schools at the top of the list are ones you've never heard of, (2) that literally none of the top-10/elite/whatever schools appear on the first page of the list, and (3) how heavily modal the graph is anyway: basically graduating students take on about $38-40k of debt in the US, no matter where they go.

Please be very suspicious of this kind of class warfare screed. It's just wrong, and it finds its way into the public conciousness by throwaway lines like the one I quoted.
That sounds really cool, as a genre, actually. You would have to figure out what given NPCs actually want, and how you may be able to use that, to make them do what you want. And not based on some lame script, but complex world and character models. I'm sold!
We’ve heard from people in construction that this is often a tear down situation. The needs of office space and apartments are very different. Somehow they see this as different from the old warehouse-loft conversion process.
Space complexity is always less than time complexity. If every operation can only access a constant number of memory spaces, something in O(f) can only touch O(f*k) memory spaces. Thus, space complexity is bounded by time complexity. (I don't know why I ended with a formula kinda swearing at me, but I'll leave it because it make me chuckle immaturely).

The inverse however has very few implications. You don't need much space to get into huge time complexities. Something like prime factorization has very little space requirements, but becomes very time-expensive very quickly.

Though I'm kind of disappointed that this article doesn't touch on the practically weird parts of complexity theory. For example how at times, the asymptotically better algorithm isn't used in practive, because the preprocessing only barely starts to break even with an asymptotically worse algorithm at input sizes of millions and billions, while practical problems are at input sizes of 10k - 100k.
I'd love to hear more about your approach to the shift. How did you pitch yourself during interviews without prior experience?
It's pretty standard in most places outside of the odd tower block here and there.

That kind of housing goes back at least as far as the Roman insulae, which you can still see in places like Ostia Antica.
What’s your point? The reason it still sucks despite clear, functioning examples of how to do it better isn’t because we had an income tax in the 1930s or whatever. That has nothing to do with decades of our failing to fix it. We very likely would have by now if not for the two reasons I called out. That’s the “intent” behind it sucking—rent seeking, and political expedience.
just seems like a waste to lose both developing markets and an already developed high income market to averaging a huge region of different income levels
Eminent domain is not cheap to use given the fair market value compensation and the almost guaranteed legal fights.

My read is that he's just making the same point as the stoics (and I'm sure many others, I'm just most familiar with it from stoicism), to not expect or fall into the trap of feeling entitled to good things. In stoicism, this is the point beneath the oft-caricatured practice of contemplating that death could come at any moment. If you don't expect or feel entitled to even just living from moment to moment, then it's (in theory) easier to see that each additional moment of life is a gift, and each good thing that does happen to you, all the more so.

Personally, I struggle to actually achieve serenity and positivity from this in practice, though I do find it compelling in theory.

I guess at least some people realize how insulting you are.

"Luck" is often a reason given by losers. It's the argument that shifts blame away from their own poor, often stupid decisions. It's used by losers when it comes to starting and running businesses, just like it's used by losers who failed to buy-in on cryptos or stocks when they were low.

"Oh, your business actually took off? You got lucky!"

"Oh so btc hit 69k? You got lucky."

They talk as if they had any clue whatsoever (because to make the assessment you need to understand the matter at hand), but if that was the case, they'd be amongst the actually objectively successfull people.

So ... yeah, right. I didn't make the right decisions at the right time to make sure [project] works out, after doing lots of research. No, I just got lucky. I didn't put hard work into [my project], I just got lucky.

Fuck. You.

It's not luck. No. It's simply not being a clueless loser. It's "putting hard work into reaching your goal". It's "not giving up". It's "standing your ground against the losers who want you to fail".

If these people you're mentioning, were so smart, they'd be rich.

Now take a good fucking guess why they're not.

Appreciate the call out. Regarding pricing, bringing forward what you saw today for free and open source, was a major part of why I started Flox, with much more to come into it.
What we released today will be free forever (both the open source client and the FloxHub services for sharing environments). We plan on expanding the offering to include a more robust private software catalogs that layers on top of the OOTB Flox Catalog that ships with Flox. If you are interested in publishing your output or need revised versions of open source packages in Flox then it'll be very easy to have your own catalog to compliment the always-free Flox Catalog that Flox ships with today. Beyond that, we are focused on a number of services that help bring Nix's build to the enterprise.
Over time we intend to sell a solution to enterprises - through subscriptions and services - so they can more effectively manage expansive and fragmented software supply chains. As part of developing custom tooling for enterprises, we think it's reasonable for them to participate in funding for that work.
If I understood the article correctly, you can get a feed that isn't moderated by their team. So I'm not sure what your complaint is? That other people can get moderation if they choose to?
Yes, and I’m saying that there’s plenty of available high density apartment complexes in cities with a shortage of detached homes, yet people still want a home for a dozen reasons.

America is not a country where people want to live in an apartment long term if they have the resources to buy a proper home.
UTC is less complicated than time zones.

If time zones where abolished you do t have to worry about what time zone a written time is in (is the 7 eastern or central or GMT or etc) its always 7 UTC.

Then you can take the SAME knowledge that East Coast of the US is 6 hours behind UTC, to figure out that 13:00 is the morning for them.
