Coincidentally when I logged in to my account, for the first time in years, they also pulled my reviews. I got one email for each of them, saying:

"Our moderators evaluate each review to determine whether it complies with our Community Guidelines. We determined your review does not meet these guidelines.

If you wish, you are welcome to edit your review here and your edited review will be reevaluated within 24 hours of receipt."
The headline is simply a clickbait lie (fairly typical of the source); what the the judge actually ruled is not that liability is assumed and platforms must disprove it, but that Section 230 is not a bar to a defective product liability claim.
It's intended for 'cloud-native' deployments, as I understand it, so I concur that it's quite disappointing. The concept of downloading compilers via NuGet doesn't sit well with me either. However, I've observed performance enhancements in applications compiled AOT, and I remain optimistic that future versions of .NET will bring further improvements.
Job boards are still rife with 'ghost jobs'. What's the point?
The YC network is quite useful for survival and evolution of startups, an economic safety net.
Yeah, you can't "pay to remove a review," but if you pay Glassdoor and report every review you don't like for ToS violations, 40% of them disappear regardless of any violations. You can't appeal, for a long time you weren't notified, you can't ask why (though you can re-edit till you find a version that survives a couple moderators), and if they leave the review up then your employer can respond however they like without recourse (unreportable, you can't edit your review once your employer has responded, ...). Your reviews can be removed even after internal moderators have already approved them. The reviews aren't sorted by publicly rated helpfulness or by chronology.
So it should be price per 100g or something unless you want these 5mm parts, or some blend of price per piece and price and weight.
The cliche is wrong. The absence of evidence is evidence of absence. Not conclusive evidence.

There are an infinite number of things that don't exist and that we don't have any evidence of. It is nice if we can positively disprove them, but that is not necessary to justify disbelief.
I tried to address this somewhat in my comment, but alas the world has been moving in the other direction and it's not just simple choice or value; it's that the new way is often far superior.

>There is no practical economic way to repair that Mac charger, or your fried fancy oscilloscope, or any advanced motor, or unibody, or virtually anything made of titanium, carbon fiber, et cetera.

The issue lies in their superiority. The modern powerboard which filters and slices is far superior to its simple cousin. Titanium, carbon fiber, advanced composites permit the impossible. Elegant unibodies provide strength, cooling, simplicity. Sealed black boxes bring reliability, weight, strength. None of those things can be repaired economically. We are a rich world now, getting richer by the minute. The objects that surround us are sleek, powerful, reliable, perfect. I suspect nothing can stop this tide now. The march of time will forge ever more perfect objects and leave us useless in its wake.
Although I did enjoy my PhD, I wouldn't recommend it if you have marketable, in-demand industry skills. Especially for international students, a PhD, and especially a postdoc, is akin to indentured servitude. You can't leave, you barely make do, and your success is very dependents on the whims of your advisor. It is no coincidence that depression is a common problem in PhD student population.
More satellites is mostly better. Multi-constellation receivers for example can obtain higher precision by using some combination of different GNSS. There is a minimum error you can practically achieve this way that has a fair amount to do with the wavelength, but it does help.

In most cases, though, faster/more reliable fix will probably be a bigger advantage than precision. When you have a partial sky view, more satellites means a better chance of enough satellites falling in that window for a fix.
My main thing with road safety is the presence of giant dangerous SUV which one has no control over. At least I can control what is or isn’t in my home, on the roads some asshole driving their Cybertruck at 40 mph over the limit will annihilate my hatchback. Point taken regardless, but I still worry more about cars than anything in my home.

Otherwise I have a small child in the house, so I’d be grateful for 1 percentile capability at the moment. ;-)

Thanks for your thoughts tho, I think we can agree future seems interesting at the least.
Yes, easily, but they are infinite and, unlike a given statement, mostly uninteresting.
That specific statute only relates to genitals;

> The change means that anyone who sends a photo or film of a person’s genitals, for the purpose of their own sexual gratification or to cause the victim humiliation, alarm or distress may face up to two years in prison.
If your plan is to pay 'not very much' then you're probably not going to get anyone (almost certainly nobody decent) unless they're an almost equal partner in whatever you're doing. Otherwise why would they assume such risk? Not for money. Not for potential future upside, or for passion (both of which they would do their own thing for).

IMO (which should be taken with a lot of salt) you either need a cofounder, big bag of VC money to offer, or to farm off your MVP work to cut-rate contractors rather than hire an actual employee.
>However I do miss the charm of the 'old web' where we relied on word of mouth. I think MySpace really was a certain peak of Minimalistic non algo Social media; you picked your sort for who to pay attention to, you could put your links or whatever, toss a song for a mood, and it was simple.

This is because back then you only had yourself to rely on to find the content you wanted.

Now everybody has to use their algorithms to predict what you want to see, which is terrible.

What I've noticed in the past couple years is that on any social platform that I admittedly choose to use, all it really takes is clicking something for one topic maybe once or twice and then half my feed is constantly full of it with no way to say "no that was a one-time thing".
Yes, FPGA-based, and no ring oscillators. AWS doesn't allow you to use latches or comb loops at all, but has the same area efficiency as the best RO-based designs. We'll publish eventually.

For the FPGA users out there - we will be packaging a few shapes of RNGs as IP in the near future, but this kind of chip/FPGA IP needs a LOT of very subtle verification, which made a lot more sense to do for full cards first.
> I'm not sure if Things lets you export tasks, but if they do I'm more than happy to run a one-time custom import for you (or any other Things user). There's also the simpler way, which is copying a bunch of tasks to your clipboard and hitting ⌘+Shift+V in Godspeed to paste tasks from clipboard. It'll respect indentation and bullet characters.

... and that chance is essentially extremely close to zero.

People seem to think that Google is some sort of existence proof that there's a non-zero chance (and perhaps even quite a good one) of starting a company with this level of success.

And they are correct.

However, this is not the same probability at all as the chance that your company will turn out like that.

AI has no compassion or empathy. AI won't be able to care for the elderly in nursing homes. Nurses make split-second decisions on how to treat patients. It has to be made with empathy and compassion.
I'm stunned by how time & again, companies manage to fubar a running business for no reason whatsoever.

Not a clue how Glassdoor was doing before. And sure, in any field there may be competition. Business models energe & go away over time. Markets change, and successive CEOs, managers etc may have different ideas (and success) in addressing that.

But how could anyone at Glassdoor think that this policy change would not drive users away? That this would not hurt their business? (all else equal, fewer users = less profit).

If there were an upside to this policy change, sure. Weigh pros vs cons. Ask users. Do some A/B tests or whatever.

But this reads like a change with only downsides (for users, and potentially very significant) vs. little (if any) gain for the company. Why do it then?

"If it isn't broken, don't fix it", how hard is that?

Jq is a nice tool, but...
TBF, Dell IME has had a nope-never reputation as an employer since the 90s so I am not sure this is going to push them further down the rankings.
PG's post was called "How to start Google"
This is a common feature request and we'll be adding it as an option soon!

Glad you're liking the feel! What we're going for is essentially an app that "feels" great.
Guessing here but i bet this is one of the line items in the starshield project with the feds, but not a very big commercial concern as GPS is "Good enough" for most applications.

However, this would require different hardware on both the sats and the ground stations.

You'd prolly need much better coordination algo's too.
Google had ads (AdWords) since 2000, only 2 years after it started existing.
It’s funny that this news is getting traction but the fact that for the past 5 days, the entire country (and 4 others in the region) was without reliable internet due to 4 undersea cables simultaneously being cut didn’t receive any attention.
I think you are right. Without knowing more detail, the claims of the protocol seem very cool. They are doing more than just Time of Flight calculations.

Looks like they do channel impulse response analysis with really high data rates.

Very interesting stuff, thanks for sharing.
Online Safety Act that's being cited here is "any sexual image"... as usual with UK laws a "sexual image" is not defined in statute and is a matter of fact for a court to rule on whether or not any given image is "sexual"

The Malicious Communications Act covers sending anything else with the intent of causing "distress or anxiety".

As an aside, "intent" in UK law usually means "knows or should have known" ie you can't just say "I didn't mean to" if the average person would agree that such a communication would cause distress etc (again this is a matter for a court).
Fine. I share similar goals and dreams with my kids (who are all grown adults now). But what's the point of dangling "start Google" as some sort of imaginary incentive for this, when the real incentives and benefits almost certainly come from elsewhere.
Tried it. It doesn’t integrate with what I use and it has a whole other time blocking workflow. It’s a big change from a GTD style workflow.
great, now I can stop using regex...
I’m not convinced the hate for AI in the social media algo feed sense should be conflated with AI in the copilot sense.

Literacy isn't required if a computer can read any text. That is a huge amount of the brain that could be applied to something else.
Does this mean someone could, in theory, go to prison for linking meatspin? Only half joking, when read literally it certainly seems that's a possible interpretation.

having a single neuron that has learned xor != understanding xor

Function approximation is trivial, understanding of what said functions can do and when to use them is much harder (though is arguably still function approximation)

Money. Because somebody there thought this will make them more money.
Threatening to "go kill ni**ers for a high score" is likely illegal.

That shits on /pol/ right now, and is the root of supporting extremism to the point of violence and murder. And last I checked, making death threats is explicitly not protected speech.
I think he's mainly been working on Haunted Chocolatier now. Very excited to see how that comes out! The releases starting with Stardew 1.3 in 2018 have had others involved, including:

> If you believe you can, you might try, and you might make it.

The statistics are pretty clear that you almost certainly will not.

So by all means give it a shot if you can do so without screwing your chance at whatever you'll do if/when it fails.

People deserve dignity and meaning no matter what work they do. This should not be reserved to the folks who manage to start unicorns (let alone Googles).
In theory, yes. But it's diminishing returns, and requires more and more capable hardware as you include more.

Under ideal conditions GPS is already accurate to 30cm, which is frankly astonishing on a planet of 200 million square miles.
This is a reasonable approach for someone who has no relevant work history. It's absolutely ridiculous to question someone with >10 years of experience in the industry about it.

There is an amount of foreign influence that sows discord and amplifies the worst speech and ideas as well
I'm glad you asked about this, because snoozing recurring tasks is one of the 2 big reasons I wanted to create Godspeed in the first place (the other was the date picker). The way this worked in OmniFocus was _infuriating_ to me.

When you snooze a recurring task in Godspeed you use the same date picker as for setting a date, so you have full power and flexibility to choose whatever date/time you'd like. And it only snoozes _this instance_ of the task, without changing future recurring due dates.
I'm pleased to see this on HN! This game is actually wonderfully hackable because the save file format is just unobfuscated XML, and it writes at very predictable times (saves at the end of the "day" and it will tell when it writes to the file). Also the game doesn't use any DRM (it's available on gog.com!).

I deeply appreciate that the dev (Concerned Ape) doesn't try to obfuscate save data. It has given the game a lot more value for me because after playing it "normally" I was able to experiment by tweaking parts of the save file to see what would happen. It's turned somewhat into an educational tool as well as I've used it to teach my kids how to open the hood and take a look! It also made it possible to "fix" things like getting unfairly killed in a battle because the controller died at the worst possible time. I actually `git init` in the save file directory so I can keep my save file in version control. It does get pretty big as you get late into the game.

Even if you aren't a gamer, you should check this game out. It runs on everything, and it is a super chill and cosy game to play. It's very well-balanced to give you a lot of game play, but also a lot of freedom. It's very, very hard to "fail" so you can play very casually. My 6 year old daughter loves this game, as do I, so it spans the range of ages.
I believe a (packer[1]) AGI is possible now thanks to the memory prosthesis that is part of MemGPT[2].

Packers are people who memorize facts to cope with the world. My experience working with them is they are very capable people, but when they are forced to deal with Computers, their mental model of the world breaks... any deviation from the expected response throws them off. If you give them instructions that account for those variations, they then do just fine again. 8) (It took a while to figure out what was going on, and how to deal with them)

I believe the small context window of LLMs will tend to force it into a packer style of thinking. (Once it's no longer in training, it only has the "compiled" knowledge to fall back on, and it can't learn any new deep assumptions)

I'm not sure how you would go about training a (mapper) style AGI.

One thing that is very clear to me is that there's a superhuman level of learning in process while an LLM is being trained. Features present in the training data are compiled into the resulting weights. The fact that the resulting intelligence is even able to coherently communicate through the slightly randomized bag of words output system, with all of it's inherent loss, surely hints at this.

The notion that bad environment caused migration seems very dubious.

What causes migration is the ability to migrate: that is, that new areas have environments in which the organisms can survive and reproduce. Decline in habitability of previously occupied regions is neither necessary nor useful for this to happen.
I think there's many counter examples to this: Jenkins & Hudson, Illumos & Solaris, LibreSSL & OpenSSL & BoringSSL, LibreOffice & OpenOffice, Spongy Castle & Bouncy Castle, and Webkit & KHTML to name a few.

A fork need not necessarily be 1:1, bug for bug, compatible.

We discussed this here: https://github.com/orgs/openbao/discussions/55 and here: https://github.com/orgs/openbao/discussions/64 -- you're welcome to give feedback there and contribute to the success of the project. :-)

But as noted here: https://developer.hashicorp.com/vault/docs/configuration/sto... -- upstream only supports the Raft backend. The other backends may have issues and don't see many commits as upstream has not delegated maintenance to external community members. Frequently, commentators (both employees and community members) suggest moving away from custom storage backends to Raft.

A storage migration only impacts one small category of users -- the operator -- but remains transparent to the consumers of secrets (whether humans or applications). This only occurs once. Yes, it requires planning. Yes, it is a lot of work to execute successfully. But it is also an approach upstream uses e.g., in FIPS 140-2 migrations: https://developer.hashicorp.com/vault/docs/enterprise/fips/f... -- as we get time, we'd like to make this type of cross-instance migration more automated if we can.

But our goal is to remain API compatible, so the vast majority of use cases require no changes to operate with the forked code. And we wish to remain as drop-in compatible with consumers using Raft as we can. So yes, I think OpenBao can still be called a fork of Vault. And IMO, even a 1:1 bug compatible fork is still a separate product, and that isn't necessarily a bad thing. :-)

OpenTofu has much the same approach, where they don't guarantee a 1:1 drop-in, bug-for-bug fork of upstream, but instead gives themselves some room to make changes for the best of their community: https://opentofu.org/docs/language/v1-compatibility-promises...

I think that every project needs to find their own balance, and this is what the OpenBao community has chosen. :-)

My 2c, views my own. But feel free to contact me via email if you have additional technical concerns to discuss.

Lego may be the most "eco-friendly" plastics company in existence. Not because their factories and materials are special, but because they are among the most durable plastic items there are.

Lego last essentially forever. 50 year old bricks are still in use today, I don't think I have ever seen people trashing Lego. They are actually quite valuable and very easy to sell. I think the only significant losses beside a few accidents are sets that end up, unused, in attics. But they are not really lost and may get a second life as they get rediscovered.

This may be the ultimate sustainable toy. I mean, name another toy that is still usable and didn't get obsolete after nearly 100 years. The most surprising part to me is that they are still selling. Maybe that thanks to adults, I don't know how long it will last.

As for their packaging, it is mostly cardboard, they use less plastic than almost everyone else. In fact, they are going towards no plastic packaging at all.
The software engineering isn't the impressive part of Stardew Valley. Aside from the multiplayer code (which is the only part he had outside help with), an average developer could cobble together a functionally similar engine in a weekend. What's impressive about Stardew Valley is that one guy did all the coding and all the writing, all the art, all the music, and all the game design, while also managing to produce an instant classic that also happens to be his first game ever. The continued development pushed as free updates almost a decade after release is the icing on the cake; there is no explanation other than that he's making this game because he loves doing it and he takes pride in his work, rather than trying to follow mainstream game dev dogma and try to produce a platform for soon-parting fools from their money.
I also did. Great to see progress
Mostly yes. He has hired people to contribute on occasion, especially with ports to other platforms (like mobile), but it's mostly just his baby.
My call was not that you're foolish for doing something because it won't pan out.

It was that it is foolish to tell/teach/encourage people to expect that things like "start Google" have any reasonable likelihood of succeeding.

And it is even worse when that encourages people to fail to organize, vote, protest, push for better work and better working conditions for everybody who are not founders of unicorns.
