Quite simply because investors are often chasing after money only (ie profitability), not necessarily a company's productivity or product quality. And the quicker the profits the better (meaning short term is valued over long term).

Additionally, not all investors are savvy on what's going on with companies, so they decide to invest in ETFs (which mind you, is now the lion's share of investment activity). Now not all ETFs are the same basket of stocks. Some may have 15 stocks, whereas others may consist of 50. This is done so people can "choose their risk tolerance", which is calculated based on various things such as how diversified the fund is (50 stocks is more diversified than 15), what the market caps of the companies are, etc. Anyhow, the point is, choosing to invest in said investment vehicles, has little to do with investing based upon fundamentals, or rewarding productive companies, and more to do with managing a person's personal investment risk. The result? Companies are detached from fundamentals because, quite literally, the majority of investors are not investing based on fundamentals, but based on risk.
For important context on my post here, please read tsunamihippo's post first: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39859319.

This story seems very overblown. Are we arguing that Facebook should not ever allow any third party app to ask permission to read the user's Facebook DMs? There are valid use cases for this permission, and every case where an app asks for it is not a "privacy violation". Sure, did Netflix or Spotify actually need the ability to read back DMs instead of just write them so that they could send recommendations? No, they shouldn't have needed that. If Facebook's API required that they have read access just to send a message, then that's crap design. But is it nefarious? No.

As long as the user is appropriately briefed on what they are granting (and it appears that they were), and as long as Facebook addresses over-scoped permissions requested by third party apps in a timely manner, then this should not be an issue.

I for one believe that we need to mandate that FAANG companies have these sorts of permission-driven systems to avoid the vendor lock in we're all too commonly stuck with today.

Because these things are needed for competition to thrive and to avoid the big companies from creating moats that prevent us, the startups out there, trying to dethrone them, its all the more important that these companies invest in better UIs that help a user understand the implications of what they are doing, and better review processes to stop bad actors from exploiting users' ignorance on an ongoing basis.

I despise Meta, but come on. Don't throw the baby (interoperability) out with the bathwater (interoperability can enable exploitation).
I continue to have mixed feelings about this kind of thing.

A (very) long time ago the Apache developers could have gone down this route.

We see how nonsensical this is
Hey, creator of CQ2 here. Yes, he's my brother. I'm curious about why you think it was necessary to disclose that. AFAIK, friends share each others' stuff here. Also, he isn't fully convinced about the UI but finds the approach interesting and relates with the problem, so I had asked him to post and ask about others' feedback.
This comment made me vividly think about that "no silly hats!" cartoon by Don Hertzfeld from 20 ish years ago.
I was surprised to see that it only costs around $14 in China, so I instantly ordered one. It would nicely fill the gap in VHF bands that are not supported by my Tecsun PL-365.

You just completely made up those numbers.

The only limitation to the allocation patterns Xr0 imposes is that there can be no leaks. Everything else is possible.

Yes, Xr0 is young. It took Rust nine years to reach v1.0.0. Xr0 may need slightly over the nine months its had.
That’s a far cry from “there won’t be much left other than us and our farm animals.”

Or the belief that the earth is better off without us. I’d argue intelligent life is worth it if the cost is having no more polar bears. (Obv it’s better to have both and they’re not mutually exclusive, just making the point.)

Earth is just a big rock floating in space and full of bugs without us.
okay... that car isnt for you, nobody suggested this will be the range for EVERYONE?
Anecdotes aren't data, and one summer isn't climate. The climate warriors absolutely pounded that into my head for decades, but you experience a drought and the world is literally ending? C'mon

Maybe the world IS ending, but anecdotes and single summers are not valid talking points
Pet peeve triggered.

This is little to do with the honey bee "collapse", and the linking to warmer fall seasons is not the right causation in my opinion.

A not-so-secret secret for beekeepers is to get your queens locally. Why? Because your queens adjust and even genetically select to the local weather and environment over generations. It is much better to capture a swarm locally than to buy a queen from some fancy dealer several states over.

There are very happy queens on the equator, going around 12 months without "winter clustering". If you take a queen from Nebraska, ship it to the Pacific Northwest, what do you think the queen will do? "Collapse".

Take a Florida "native" queen and take it to Nebraska, her entire colony will "collapse" because the girls have no idea how to survive in Nebraska winter.

What is this "shipping" about you ask? I would be remiss if I did not mention big agg [0]. that fine almonds, grapes, and avocados. the Pacific northwest hives do not pollinate all those plants. Transplanted colonies in thousands from all over the US are pollinating so you get your almond milk. A lot of those colonies cannot survive the weather change. They pollinate then die. Many unscrupulous beekeepers will just destroy all their colonies. There is no financial incentive to ship them back and forth. they can start a new colony for way less.

Old article but should give a bit more weight to grasping the commercial bee business.

(Yes, I have hives in a subtropical region.)
The fines have to be more than 100% of global annual revenue if they are going to matter.

The other option is long prison sentences for the board and CEO.
The nuclear bomb is superior to TNT, the gun on the A10 Warthog is superior to a flintlock pistol. Like it or not, modern AI is superior because it is more fit for purpose than something that can’t do anything at all.
No, you "shouldn't" feel vindictive. Vengeance doesn't really help anybody. We are all wronged, and we all wrong others. None of us is perfect.

Some are worse than others, and we have laws, and punishments, etc.

But I believe there is no morality to seeking pain in others; even if you believe they deserve it. It will not raise you up, so to speak.
> If one of our users' data became valuable to an evil nation state and they kidnapped my family, I'll be honest, I'd probably have to hand over the data.

How is this prevented, when the evil nation asks you to modify the code to your app to do what you said you wouldn't do? i.e. Steal the data.

I haven't had one so I can't directly weigh in, but up here, winter = physically pulling hard on door handles to get the seals to unstick. I can't imagine something like cybertruck (no handles at all) working in real winter.

I'm hopeful for Tesla to release their 25k car, and I'm really hoping for my car to last a couple years longer so I can get something from a different manufacturer that realizes some design standards have good reasons behind them.
Google already did this with TPUs and it supposedly saved them a ton in energy costs. I read somewhere that NVIDIA doesn’t gain as much by making the chips more cost effective, just making them more powerful
If you think Boeing management was insufficiently respectful of or deferential to technical people and their expertise, I’ve got bad news for you about voters.

Engineers can sometimes be indispensable enough to finagle power from alliances with capital. We don’t win popularity contests.
I think the point is a bit more interesting than that. If you instead suppose we don't have free will, and there is no indefinable quality, then suddenly it’s not anymore scary to be a conscious galaxy than it is to be a human.
It is. Other european mail services, e.g. DHL, have been offering tracking for every new stamp for a while now.

GPT-4 cost about $100 mil to train. That's opex (Renting the GPUs). Expect the corresponding capex (buying the GPUs) on Azure's end to be 10x of that. Hence $1 bil

GPT-5 being 10x the training cost of GPT-4 is a reasonable estimate. GPT-4 was itself 10x the size of GPT-3. So $10 bil.

GPT-6 being another 10x over GPT-5 is therefore just a extrapolation, hence $100 bil.
> Get arrested, don't show up at work, get fired (totally legal: it's an at-will state!), lose your health insurance, can't pay rent, eviction, now your former landlord wants you to pay for your own eviction…

Yes, actions have consequences. You have a right to protest, but if your method of protest has a law breaking component to it and you are arrested for that law you broke, there could be downstream consequences to your action. The very same thing can happen for any reason you may chose to break a law. Activism doesn’t give you a law breaking pass.

> How is blocking traffic extreme?

Would you do this on the regular just for the fun or utility of it?

> The problem is political will. Doesn't matter how many people want universal suffrage….

Is that the problem? Seems to me what you are describing as a lack of “political will” is really your own impatience.

> No artwork was destroyed, or even damaged. (If anything, art was created.)

Yeah I am sure that striking the protective safety glass over the Velázquez painting 10x with hammers just to test to make sure it wouldn’t break and destroy the painting before they reinterpreted the masterpiece with their bold warholian-pollock style.

>(a) cheapening the meaning if intelligence

It's hard to cheapen it more than perceptrons and expert systems. The lay impression of artificial intelligence may be all skynet and c3p0, but AGI isn't really even a goal of most AI research, let alone representative of the current state of the art.
I think people are so much more capable then we're told we are. I know that it's easy for me to say this because I do have a decent job, I don't make anywhere near ($250k a month btw) but I came from a family who lost everything in World War II and rebuilt their lives in another country with practically no money. They were resourceful. They could build furniture, houses, restore and fix things, grow food raise chickens etc. Mostly they learned this out of necessity because prior to the war, they were farmers and living pretty self sufficient lives.

I'm not saying everyone can do this but I think a LOT of people, no matter their situation, can improve things a lot out of their own hard work, ingenuity and determination.

Your comment about relying on rubbish like IKEA is what spurred my comment. There is so many cheap second hand super high quality tools and building materials available now that you can practically build anything you need for very cheap. So much knowledge available for nearly free about how to stay healthy that it's ridiculous.

Just because most people rely on modern convenience and buy into that system, doesn't mean you need to.

AWS did not launch their own spinoff alone, but instead joined the Valkey project by the Linux Foundation[0], alongside many other major contributors:

> Industry participants, including Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud, Oracle, Ericsson, and Snap Inc. are supporting Valkey. They are focused on making contributions that support the long-term health and viability of the project so that everyone can benefit from it.

Seems like a good alternative to a single company's spinoff: Many major providers working on this same project should result in everyone benefiting from it.

Brawndo, it's got what plants crave.
That’s true but to be sure, data is on the same page. I was not denying climate change.
Does a person completely immobilized but awake lack free will? Maybe free will isn't the right measurement of consciousness or intelligence.
Something that has likely slowed down adoption: Current payment methods (CC, debit, tap, chip, etc) artificially appear faster than they are.

When someone taps, 99% of the time the payment processor is not waiting for the funds. It’s all trust and calculations of acceptable risk (that’s why the tap limit).

Crypto can adopt that approach as well.

Yes, CCs/debit went through a period (as did cheques) where that trust was wildly abused and it’s likely any trust layer on top of crypto would have to go through the same period of abuse, but solutions [c|w]ould be implemented fairly quickly since it’s all tech.
Is Chinese software required? It might be just a booster rocket for Chinese spyware.
This isn't how permissions work in most OAuth APIs. When you request permissions on apps like this, you request an "action" on a "subject". The "action" can be read/write/delete, the subject can be "DMs". How does Facebook determine whether a specific DM is a Netflix DM? In the database it's just a message from one user to another, with a certain text content.

By the way I'm not suggesting that it cant work this way, just that it doesn't. Facebook could have added a specific scope to allow an app to only read back messages related to itself. But that would have required anticipating the use case before these companies implemented it, or at least having better review policies to try to reduce the permissions apps are asking for.

But if the app wants to allow the user to have a back and forth with the other user, then that implies that Facebook Chat needs to have the ability to have app-specific conversation threads. It doesn't have that, though.

Netflix and Spotify requested read permission for DMs. Did they need it? Most assuredly they did not. But requesting read permissions for DMs in general has valid use cases, even if it should be treated sensitively by Facebook's authentication flow.

If there's any problem here, its that Facebook didn't seem to recognize that the apps (Netflix and Spotify) should not have been requesting read privileges at all, and should have revoked their ability to request that permission in a timely manner.

The problem with a word like "shift" is that it doesn't say anything about which direction you are "shifting" the books on your shelf (or bits in your byte.) Same is true for4 unshift.

Also "unshift" does not imply in any way that you are adding a new book to your shelf, and to which side of it.
Our 75 years long self-declared free-will narrative is maybe more terrifying.

A significant portion of the world took the threat seriously. Coordinated action was taken. The risk still persists.

* A significant reduction in the consumption of ozone-depleting substances (ODS) has been achieved globally since 1986. This reduction has largely been driven by the 1987 United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) Montreal Protocol.

* The largest historical extent of the ozone hole — 28.4 million square kilometres — occurred in September 2000. This area is equivalent to almost seven times the territory of the EU.

* The 2023 ozone hole has been larger compared to 2022.

I think the economic returns to "decent understanding of X plus decent communication skills" are much higher when X is math than when X is art or language or history, so you need a greater passion for teaching to select it in spite of that fact, and this shrinks the pool of good math teachers relative to other subjects.
Yes, but it's all individuals making decisions.
You might find the Sentinel 65X interesting in that the guy behind it basically said "the X16 is big and clunky and expensive, let's cut out that stuff".

It's not yet a deliverable product but watching the developers work on it has been an entertaining part of my doomscrolling diet.
I really thought you were going into quite a tangent until the last paragraph. It really proves your point. Arguably, we’ve already seen trillions in value generated from data centers.

I still question GPT-6 having a 100b data center. I expect GPT-6 to be out before 2026, since I expect them to regularly release now models, as a matter of marketing. Neither the cash nor hardware purchasing capacity will exist by then.

I don’t give the gulf states that much credit either. I think they’re just spraying money at every opportunity. They were pretty into crypto before too. They’ve been around the valley with outsized checks forever. If I had endless money with an expiration date I’d also invest in everything. What would be interesting is to see them really commit and try to on-shore fabs and silicon engineering. That’s the ultimate move to gain geopolitical protection when oil interest stops.
Apparently in Tesla cars the common cause of motor failure is coolant leaking in.

I assume one'd need a lot of bees in that warehouse to make it economically feasible, hence lots of openings for them, and at that point can you do efficient climate control?
Totally agree with the sentiment here. The comment by the employee make it sound like it's the user's fault. Something akin to dark pattern and malicious compliance by giving the user an OAuth consent for their DM.
What is good about signal? It does not allow unique account names (!), but uses telephone numbers - what is just absurdly bad security.

The state can make a duplicate of your sim at any time. Not to mention linking phones to people is relatively easy.
The problem is that the 5G hype isnt telling the whole story. Yes, you certainly could drive high thruput across the radio access network, at low latency, and yes, thats exactly what you would need to do things like self driving cars. The problem is that the radio is just one tiny part of the whole communication chain, and for safety-critical things, the entire chain must be equally fast and robust.

That means, for example, that the chip inside the car/robot must detect failures in the transmission path incredibly quickly and switch to a secondary channel, that the radio controller can detect when the network (packet core) it thought it was talking to goes away, and recover, and that the packet core itself can detect failures in its components and fail over or restart. It has to do all this in the time it takes for a warehouse robot to crush a worker, or a car to hit a bollard. Did I mention that todays packet cores are built from kubernetes and prayers? This degree of safety simply isnt happening anytime soon.

Perversely, it might actually be safer to deploy an entirely private network under the control of an enterprise and take your lumps there as best you can, than rely on an operator's network being able to do what you want all the time.
I thought the exact same thing. We can feel pain and suffer on levels that I doubt the Sun would ever be capable of.
Hard to meet everyone where they are and at the same time give them a relevant practical application for their own life. Good learners just soak it up and look for the application later. But that also doesn’t fit all. It’s hard to even write a pop song that everyone likes so math education that appeals to all is almost impossible
> a) absolutely damning! SBF's lack of empathy, his notion that (given that everyone else is stupid)

Wow, I can’t fathom how one could believe everyone else is stupid. Yeah, SBF went to MIT, but really the best students in each descent university likely fall into the same percentile of academic talent. Or, as Bezos used to say, people can be smart in a thousand ways.
Naval ports. Again, a miniscule fraction of the earth's surface. Coverage so sparse that it wouldn't register on a percentage scale with four places after the decimal point.
You can't "accurately infill" data that hasn't been measured. What prevailed over far more than 99% of the earth's land and sea surface was unknown to any degree of accuracy before 1979; what prevailed in the depths of the massive heat sink called the ocean was not even partially addressed before ca. 2005.

There's an alternative like UWB in RF that caters for more bandwidth if needed but come with low power requirement across the wide bandwidth [1]. Or the the FCC/OFCOM/etc need to bite the bullet and provide huge chunk of RF spectrum for this next generation wireless peripheral standard that's comparable to USB 4. Together with the latest offering direct RF ADC/DAC and RFSoC it is just a matter of time for this realization [2],[3].

I believe the issues lamented by the grand parent comment is resolvable even in RF spectrum and the required speed will be achievable in the near future, stay tuned.
