My opinion is that this is not really a tech problem, this is a business problem. Will the traders at Cargill, Vitol, Exxon, Trafigura, Glencore buy it? Do they want to take the time to "learn" another tool? Does it "just work", without any "let me get back to my product people"? Also, of course, every commodity market is completely different and has a whole web of intricate details in logistics, regulation, product, people, etc.

I'd guess that only an established (or former) trader already using the tool with a deep network of contacts could convince other traders to use it. And then of course there is the whole other problem of enterprise sales and penetrating big financial companies (legal, compliance, procurement, infosec, etc.). So maybe you start with small traders? But my understanding of commodities trading was that is kind of like high frequency trading - there are only large, very established players.

This is premature. The AI hype cycle has yet to play itself out.
My experience with .NET goes back to the days MSFT sent CDs with documentation written in red only to select partners, while the rest of the world was unaware of Ext-VOS project outcome.

The difference between us, is that my professional existence is not tied to praise .NET folks for everything they do.

Everything that Microsoft ships on Visual Studio is part of .NET, without yes and buts.
Think of this as a way to have a file with package main, and a func main that does not interfere with your normal build process...

> How many pilots, trained or not, really have any experience with a 100,000 ton ship in a crash situation with responses where seconds matter?

I think you are missing the point.

Clearly I am speculating, but I don't think any more experience would have helped in this event.

Why ? I think what happened today was almost entirely down to not being able to fight the basic Laws of Physics.

Its a well known fact that enormous ships take an equally enormous amount of time and distance to reflect the actions of the captain. You make an input and you see the result a bunch of time and distance later.

Time and distance were, sadly, not on the captain's side today. Physics took care of the rest.
>Passthrough is massively oversold, even if it's technically impressive. They set expectations way too high.

As a Vision Pro owner, kinda, but kinda not?

I have a really low-power glasses prescription (-1/-1.5) and I've come to the conclusion that everyone saying this has the priviledge of being born with perfect (irl) vision. It's intentionally a little bit out of focus to obscure the screen door effect, which I understand might be disorienting to people who've never had to wear glasses.

But taking that into account, it's incredibly clear. If you've used any other pass through, it's night and day. I will frequently put on my headset having forgotten that the cover is on, and when I take it off my brain genuinely reads that as uncovering a transparent lens. The slightly reduced HDR, slight desaturation, and almost imperceptible visual snow all added up still don't detract enough from that to say it is not close to "lifelike".

It's not perfect, but it's incredibly close - and probably better than a good chunk of the population's uncorrected vision.

I mean, the comparison images in the article almost make the point for me. The left image, when adjusted for brightness/contrast (which the human vision system does automatically absent other stimulus, e.g. when all you can see is the headset) has a greater resemblance to what a cloudy day looks like IRL compared to the completely oversaturated, amateurly HDR'd image on the right.

… we'd be pushing teaching social media 'literacy' to when parents lose the tools they have to teach their kids.

There are ways of teaching said literacy without allowing unrestricted access to social media. Your last paragraph suggest one such way.

It’s not an all or nothing type situation. I think it’s clear the essence of what is being discussed with the Florida law is that kids shouldn’t be granted unrestricted access to social media and those companies should be required to enforce access rules to people under a certain age.

I believe we are in agreement on this.
Not doomed, but perhaps needing an adjustment of expectations and lifestyle (depending on what you were used to relative to salary in the past).

The "why" is ZIRP (zero-interest rate policy) money. That made it possible for a lot of tech companies to operate in the red for long stretches of time. Now that that cash is drying/dried up, they're having to reduce hits to cash flow and act like real, money-making businesses.

Unfortunately, many companies will get rid of their more-talented (but more expensive) employees to keep costs down short-term. Long-term, this will burn them exactly the way you'd expect. My personal bet is that in 18-24 months, the technical issues will be piling up and companies will panic-hire senior talent at a premium to come clean up the mess.

Until then: lower expectations and humility are likely the best bet. It's also a great time to start your own business/company if that's an option.
You can make garbage collection deterministic. Tracing collectors can be designed to accept a timeout so you can "collect" during downtime and resume execution on a predictable schedule. And with reference counting the cost of RC bookkeeping is smeared predictable across the run of the program. The real problem is many GC implementations lack customization and you're stuck with whatever GC algorithm the language implementers pick.
>> Scripts should be written using the project main language

... as long as that main language is a scripting language. Otherwise it's just dumb.

Also, tunnel vision by the author: "Almost all projects I’ve worked on have scripts we wrote to automate a repetitive process. "

Well almost all projects I’ve worked on have scripts we wrote to automate a ONE-TIME process. Like collect some data from the log to figure out a bug, fix it and forget about both the bug and the script. Automate it since can't manually process 30Gb of data and grep only can do so much. Sure as funk won't write the "script" in C++ but Python or Perl or something.
Idk. Things are cyclical. We have only had “modern society” for a few decades.

I’m a brown guy. This is the first time for people like me to not be in zoo exhibits or be called savages. That’s only a hundred years ago. My grandfather grew up under British colonial rule.

This thing about not having a job. I mean all things eventually get automated.

I’d recommend not being a doomer glued to the present and past.

Look for opportunities and capitalize on them. If you won’t others will.

We are getting closer and closer to true equality. When nobody has economic value to offer because we can automate it all, we might get to the Star Trek future. I hope.
The point is that the pre-existing law was already completely ineffective. This one will be no better.

>PruneYards was found not to be significantly harmed by the expressive activity, because the goal of the commercial activity is to sell stuff. But the goal of an online social media platform is to curate a coherent speech product, and allowing people to insert themselves unwanted into that product is a very significant imposition on the platform.

That is true but unrelated to the DeSantis law. The social media companies obviously don't want to kick kids off their platform considering they are a significant portion of their audience.

The DeSantis law states the government is mandating that social media companies ID everybody. This does have precedent though because governments require bars and food marts to ID young people for cigarettes, but it's different because they are not required to ID everybody. I'm not sure they are even required to ID people, they can just be prosecuted for selling cigarettes and alcohol to minors. I think the ID part was just the most convenient way to not get prosecuted.

Of course requiring social media companies to ID everybody will have a massive chilling effect on political discourse. That might be part of the objective or at least a convenient side effect.
I don't work in that space, so i don't know what is normal, but that sounds reasonable to me. Its a niche field that requires quite a bit of low level skill. I'd expect it to pay significantly more than web dev jobs
Mathematical Knowledge from Opaque Models
Because it's a foundational belief for many on the left to believe that a) the world is fundamentally unjust but b) because of a system that c) creates and perpetuates successful and unsuccessful people. If you counter the narrative that a 'system' is involved, it must be that you are some hyper individualist.

The truth is that it is both true that there is a 'system' - in the sense that large groupings of independent organisms self organize into an emergent property that behaves with 'rules' that appear like a systemic thing - and also that individuals are not equal in capacity. From will, to intelligence, to resourcefulness, to bravery, to then the more nefarious luck, and many other factors, some people succeed and some fail.

The 'systemic' emphasis, at the exclusion of any and all other factors, is the problem, here, as it's a reductionism.

There is no objective scientific measure to disprove political ideals - you can't prove or disprove that capitalism, or socialism are good or bad. And you can certainly not falsify any claims of "systemic." These are claims of values masquerading as science and objective facts.

Perhaps it is because I put a heavier emphasis on the word media, but I don't really classify HN as a social media site. It's more of a forum where people discuss submitted articles. The dynamics are entirely different.

For one thing, there is a lot less "attention seeking" behaviour. While YCombinator and associated companies use it as a promotional tool, it is muted. Some end users may use it to drive traffic to their blogs or show off their skills, but it usually comes off as humble and related to common interests (or maybe the blatant self-promoters rarely make it to the front page). Even though some of the people who frequent (or pop in) here are more recognizable, I doubt that anyone is trying to win a popularity contest.

I think stuff like that is important when considering the psychological impact of a site. For good or for ill, reality is reality. In contrast, social media sites tend to be driven by fantasy: fame and fortune for creators, endless exponential growth for investors, and all of that nonsense. That distortion of reality can be damaging for those who either seek to achieve it and for those who feel they will never measure up.

> abusing a vector in this way is not a safe interface and is instead a good way to introduce several memory safety bugs (for example, UAFs)

Unfortunately no. I think they faded out almost 20 years ago. The main problem was that without having someone able to create solutions, the speech recognition user group devolved into a bunch of crips complaining about how fewer and fewer applications work with speech recognition.

> Whereas in reality maintenance standard in the west have fallen

In the context of this incident, are you saying that we _previously_ used to go around retrofitting our 50-year-old bridges with more modern defenses, and then at some point since then we stopped doing this? Obviously if we're talking about new construction, it stands to reason that standards have only _increased_, but this was an old bridge built to old standards. So which standards have "fallen" to result in this disaster specifically?

We see this trend as well. And AWS Security Lake goes exactly there.

Right now, we‘re working on OCSF normalization in our pipelines to drop structured security telemetry in the right format where you need it. Like a security ETL layer.

We considered ClickHouse and DuckDB but struggled with making the execution engine multi-schema, e.g., more jq-like but still on top of data frames. So we started with a custom catalog and engine on top of Parquet and Feather that we will later factor into a plugin to transpile our query language (TQL) to SQL. The custom language because security people are not data engineers.

No, Neorg does not use the same markup as Org-mode. They use their own specification that is specifically designed to be different from Org-mode spec.

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvim-neorg/norg-specs/main...

Furthermore, each item you have listed as a benefit to Org-mode is in fact capable of being done in Markdown via plugins for neovim, and probably other markdown editors, like Loqseq, Roamresearch, or Obisidian, much in the same way you speak of plugins that interface with .org docs.

https://github.com/wthollingsworth/pomodoro.nvim

https://github.com/Myzel394/easytables.nvim

https://github.com/vimwiki/vimwiki

So, my suggestion is that before dismissing a comment regarding a plugin that is unfamiliar to you, is to read its spec, and then try to understand why people would be perhaps dismissive of that tool, especially when it chooses to conflict with existing, more popular choices.
