No, even the M1 air can charge at 45w, which is a good bit faster than the 30w adapter they ship with it.
Also people just like smaller chargers.

How so? I’ve previously thought that gray areas were an AI weakness, so I’m interested to hear the opposite perspective.
If anything, the opposite. Most fast charging devices (any that advertises a 0-50% charge rate) end up throttling charge as it gets closer to 100% because filling up all cells super quickly can actually damage the battery.

That's also why many laptops (such as Macbooks) come with an "intelligent" charging feature that will limit charging to 80%, only charging up that last 20% when it thinks you'll need it
In the future, a recruiter LLM will read the candidate's LLM-generated cover letter, and make prospective hires an appointment to talk to an interviewing LLM which will score the quality of code that's been output from the candidate's code-generating LLMs. Thus saving people on both sides a bunch of time.
Thanks for your effort. With this example, I started testing typst again and it does look to have improved quite a bit. And it is of course extremely fast.
While I kind of agree, I think it's an extension of thinking that started at the dawn of the industrial age, where people had to contend with the rather limited options for how the technology could work, and build systems around it. The rise of engineering was one of the consequences.

But the options (mechanical devices) of the industrial age were obviously much less flexible than what we have now in software, and you're probably right that that flexibility has had a big effect on how many people think.
I don't think I've ever seen a more clichéd argument against LLMs than "some people in the world suffer from capitalism".

you know how when you file for bankruptcy, you're legally required to notice (an artful term) any/all potential creditors that, if they believe they hold a legitimate debt, it could potentially be extinguished by the pending bankruptcy declaration without their claim ever having an opportunity to be heard (another artful term that goes hand-in-hand with 'notice')? same thing when you die and your estate is settled?

well this is like that, and its timeliness is actually the point. this is the process for which the IPO holders signed up. and at least part of its legal justfication is to not have entities offer ownership up to the public, with which ownership shares undisclosed/unknown debts, liabilities, or obligations could follow. it's certainly not a conspiracy.

HTTP 1.1 did not support multiplexing and browsers limited you to six connections per domain. That made opening multiple WebSockets prohibitive so you would generally need to implement your own multiplexing of logical data streams on top of a single WebSocket.

HTTP2 and HTTP3 connections support the multiplexing of hundreds of streams across a single TCP or QUIC connection. Each stream can be a request or WebSocket. So now you can just open a WebSocket per logical data stream and leave the multiplexing to the browser.

So now you will have a single transport level network connection whether you use multiple WebSockets or implement multiplexing yourself atop a a single WebSocket.

Entirely and obviously self serving in that not only is this probably the only 'business' world that Paul has been exposed to (he started a tech company) but Paul also benefits (as do VC's and angel investors) from the entire eco system of young people taking chances with a small chance of success. The investor (and YC) wins with lots of people trying regardless of how many fail.

And note that the chances of founders and companies that have passed and been anointed with money is below (how much? I don't know) companies that haven't even made it to that round (to be potentially winnowed out). And have spent time and perhaps family money.

Will point out that I benefit from all of this (let's call it 'pick axe' for short) but I would or could never with a straight face and conscience write or give the same advice to kids in high school. Shoot for the moon? Risky. Sure if you have family money to fall back on possibly take the chance.

Especially and in particular 'how to start google' (meaning something with huge potential).

Oh yeah back in olden times I started a company right out of college and did pretty well and sold it (with ZERO investor money).

Its all very messy. The scientific method is about the best system we have. But the scientific method and academia are not the same thing. I've yet to find anyone besides some weird philosophers and contrarians who actually doubt the scientific method. But I find more and more people every day who doubt academia. And yeah. Its and industry made up of fallible people with incentives that are not aligned with the stated goals of said industry. We've had scandals. We've had falsified data. We've had falsified careers. And then there's the replication crisis where its possible an entire discipline is built on a foundation of slop.

If you're talking about someone wanting to examine an app they have installed, there's nothing a developer can do about it.

There are frameworks like Frida that allow you to disable pinning or disable certificate verification entirely in an app. I did this myself once while reverse-engineer the API that an app was using. Configured my phone's system proxy to point to Burp Suite, then used Frida to disable certificate verification in the app so it'd let Burp do its MitM magic, and I could see all the app's network traffic.

Any ten-year concept would be for moving bulk from an extraction site to a landing zone. The train would be minimal and open air. If you want to move people, you drive the rover on the train. (Or just rover.)

I would be surprised if any technology is transferable from existing platforms, which are optimised for hosts of characteristics irrelevant on the Moon.

The blindness to privilege that’s tied up in the part about why you ‘need’ to go to a good (by which he means highly selective) school…

> if you want to start a startup you should try to get into the best university you can, because that's where the best cofounders are...

> The empirical evidence is clear on this. If you look at where the largest numbers of successful startups come from, it's pretty much the same as the list of the most selective universities.

Is it at all possible that the people who are able to take a gamble on founding a startup rather than getting a job are also disproportionately drawn from the wealthy class that is also able to afford the privileges necessary to get their kids over the admissions humps needed to get into highly selective schools?

Because in spite of the suggestion that getting into these schools is a matter of ‘doing well in your classes’, Graham knows and acknowledges in his footnote that he knows full well that’s actually not what these schools are selecting for anyway:

> US admissions departments make applicants jump through a lot of arbitrary hoops that have little to do with their intellectual ability. But the more arbitrary a test, the more it becomes a test of mere determination and resourcefulness.

‘Mere determination and resourcefulness’? Or the background, finances and support and time necessary to make the grade in terms of non academic achievements, volunteer work, experience, extracurriculars, etc?

But even if you get in through academics plus determination and resourcefulness… will you also have the resources to take a risk on turning a project into a startup?

This is cargo cultism. Yes, successful founders are disproportionately drawn from high end selective schools, because they are disproportionately drawn from the community of people who come from a background of privilege, and are academically bright. Such people naturally tend to end up at Stanford or MIT or wherever.

But getting in to Stanford or MIT doesn’t magically make you into a member of that privileged class.
you can do a lot!

- discount the useless advice you get from people who got lucky and are unaware of this fact

- target trying to be in the right place at the right time and have a plan B if you don't get lucky, rather than waking up at 0400 every day to eat raw eggs or whatever

- respect yourself and your employees more

- be more generous with what luck brings you

etc etc etc

a much better question is why do YC and co not talk about luck and connections more? why do they pretend it's all some imaginary meritocracy rather than hugely dependent on going to the right school / being born into the right social class, and then hugely advantaged by having YC's name recognition and tame lendors attached?
"It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it".

This quote summarizes much of the discourse in HN and the tech industry at large.

Some modern languages have protections from some types of mistakes. C++ has some protections for some types of mistakes as well. I agree that there is decades of evidence that people can create security vulnerabilities in C++. I could quibble that C++20 is not the same language that most of those vulnerabilities occurred with, and that if we called Rust "C++24" it'd be no more prone to security vulnerabilities, but that seems like a mostly silly argument.

However, I would point out that some very non-modern languages also offer protection from the same class of memory-safety mistakes, but over decades have proven to be fully capable of having serious security vulnerabilities.

It is also true that we have decades of evidence that C++ programmers aren't perfect, often make mistakes, and often make mistakes that don't lead to security vulnerabilities, both due to protections in the toolset, and because lack of perfection doesn't mean you've got a security vulnerability.

It'd be great to eliminate a whole class of vulnerabilities by always using tools that prevent them, but you have to consider the price that comes with it. In particular, switching everything over to a new set of tools involves rewriting all that code, and that creates the possibility that entirely different classes of security vulnerabilities (some that C++ might offer protections & mitigations for) could be introduced in to programs that have proven to be secure, sometimes for decades.

It's a far more nuanced problem. Rather than taking an absolutist position, I think it makes sense to do what we've always done (or at least should always do), which is on a case-by-case basis, weigh the risks and make the appropriate choices. I'm sure that will lead to C++ not being used in a lot of cases.
A lot of it also depends on getting the knees spread out and letting your stomach come forward in between. This keeps your center of gravity forward.

You could have been investing in Nvidia the whole time.

Decision inertia means that employees often don't sell vested stock, and end up being lucky. Similarly, external investors aren't willing to put 30-50% of their networth into one bet and therefore miss out on the kind of luck that can set them up for life.

There is nothing that a lowly engineer at Tesla or Nvidia knows, that can't be found out by an external investor. They are operating in the same information landscape, but different outcomes when they give into decision inertia.

It's not about joining Tesla or Nvidia early. It's about betting on them.
It takes some effort to learn, but once you know, it's not that hard. Musicians under time pressure to produce (and that's most of them) don't try to be very original and take all the shortcuts they can. Make a bar with a simple beat, pick some sounds, a standard chord progression, and then imitate whatever the current trend is. Art music is different. That won't budge so easily.

What's worrying is that even e.g. amateur film makers can now access something like Suno, and won't be offering their amateur musician friends an opportunity to learn. And once the incentive to learn and improve has gone, people will stop and music will wither.
