Is robotics about to have its own ChatGPT moment?
That doesn’t solve the problem. Even if you’re dealing with a local farmer, are you testing their food for all of the dozens of contaminants which could be there? No.

And more importantly, you can’t deal on a local level for the most part. It’s not possible. You mostly purchase products from national or multinational brands, so good luck getting any consumer protection from them. If poisoning customers lets the CEO buy a longer yacht for his house in Cyprus, he will do that.
IRC does not work on mobile without paying a 3rd party to proxy it for you.
I'm guessing because you don't have to.

A friend's fintech company in Vietnam (it's one that you know) was pretty much told to make room in the C-suite for a very well connected family member to the Northern power brokers. I agree there is no requirement to have a Communist Party member join the company, but someone with connections? Sure.

It matters whether it's a local versus foreign company. If it's run by Vietnamese (or Viet Kieu) or run by foreigners. It mostly depends on how much money is involved, as a small local business is small potatoes, but when you're talking about the companies raising $100M USD in a round, it starts to matter a lot.

And my friend's company wasn't exactly opposed to it, since it's a symbiotic relationship. Have a problem with getting a license? Having "that guy" call his uncle who sits on the regulatory body can expedite it. Of course, you have to share in the wealth so sweetheart investment deals get offered in return.

He told me you can't make it big (think the equivalent of Stripe in the US) without those connections because if you don't, your competitor will and suddenly you'll find that permit you were told would take 3 months has been "delayed".

Anyone who tries to get government approval for things like licenses, etc knows it's a painful process even for the routine stuff. Now image trying to do something "different". The usual response is "you can't do that". The system is pretty much set up to require a back channel to the people in the government who can make or break a company.

Of all the problems, long polling seems like an entirely non issue.

What negative experiences would a user face as a result of long polling?
I see Welchism (I assume we're talking about Jack of GE) as the opposite of lots of SV culture. They both suck, but for completely different reasons.

GE actually had real business units. Energy, aerospace, consumer, industrial, healthcare, you name it, they had a presence. Welch couldn't squeeze enough money to meet Wall Street's expectations out of these units, and didn't innovate when microcomputers were coming onto the scene in the 90s, so he cannibalized the company to boost share price at the expense of the business being able to continue long-term. Of course, he would be dead by then.

The guys in the valley are the opposite because many of them don't actually have a product, or even business, to sell - or they do, and the product itself is realizing it doesn't want to be sold. We've had social media and ad-based online services for 20+ years now and it's generally seen as a net negative for society. The subscription-based business model wouldn't work for most social media companies as it would limit the network effect and thus the TAM of the company's business. They're having to find more and more creative ways to monetize eyeballs when the eyeballs don't want to be monetized anymore.

Then you have the people who are swapping out their FLOSS licenses for proprietary ones on software offerings (looking at you Redis) because they realize if you just give stuff away for free, there is no monetization route, and dammit, they want - nay, deserve - their massive payday like the Steves and Bill and Larry got.

TL;DR Jack had a lot to sell at the expense of GE as a long-term going concern; SV has nothing to sell but wants to be a long-term going concern.
And of that familiarity, I could instantly skewer it rather quickly in the sense that Discord is a bloated RAM hog that uses too many system resources, and will slow a gamers PC down. Honestly, ventrilo was superior for gamers. And IRCloud fixes most of their complaints. They should prefer lightweight voice chat protocols.
Biden says he still sees rate cut before year's end
From everything I’ve heard, Alexa was an absolutely massive boondoggle inside Amazon, with literally thousands of engineers and hundreds of managers. It’s incredible to think that so many of them spent years there, growing through the ranks of Amazon, without ever building anything resembling a real business. This really shows exactly how unfair the playing field is for anyone competing with big tech - there’s no pressure for them to make money for years at a time, when everyone else has to actually fight to survive.
The lead that Nvidia has over every other chip maker is as much in software and libraries as it is in technology.
CUDA and the libraries that implement it (like Rapids.ai) make it easy for data engineers and others who need to use GPU's.

Until the others provide this level of user friendliness I dont see how they compete.
I don't see amazon killing off Alexa given how incredible it could become with LLMs taking off.

> - asking questions is easy

No, asking bad or thoughtless questions is easy. Asking a good question, complete with "this is what I've tried" and snippets and links to all revelant resources like API documentation, CodePens/Godbolts/standards and a summary of your thinking that has led to needing an answer in the first place is very hard.

A good question is probably at least an hour's work, and there are very few easy questions left that don't need substantial work even to frame.

An answer can be very in-depth with research and analysis, which also takes a long time, but it can also be anywhere on the spectrum down to fairly straightforward "you missed a function call" answer.

On the other hand, writing a good question sometimes solves your problem half way through when your Minimal Viable Example suddenly starts working and your realise the flaw, or the rubber-duck nature makes you think it through in a new way.
Discord is not the problem. Discord isn’t loved by its users, there is no particular loyalty to it. The users like the product, but not the company that makes it.

The problem is entirely that the alternatives are worse than Discord.

There’s no point in a boycott if there’s no destination to boycott to. The reason that the Digg->Reddit boycott was successful was that there was a better place to migrate to.

Sorry, it's a been feature in a number of languages for decades. Perl has it at least as early as 5.005 in 1998. So naturally, Ruby had it since at least before 1.6 / 2002. Java added it in 2011. It didn't work with Python 2.1 from 2001, but I found it was added relatively late in PEP 515 in 2016 with Python 3.6.

As a latecomer, C23 went with ' just like C++ did almost 10 years earlier with C++14.

America is basically a cut-throat place where unchecked capitalism runs amok and you can make a fortune if you're smart and/or lucky in business. Getting everyone healthcare isn't going to improve things for people who like things the way they are. It would be a boon for many small businesses, yes (imagine if independent restaurants didn't have to worry about employee health insurance because they had government insurance), but tech giant companies don't care about that because they can afford to basically be their own insurance company, which helps them prevent competition from small upstarts.

So yes, I agree the general lack of regulation is part of why America has "high innovation", but it comes at a great cost to society, and yields a highly stratified society with a lot of losers, and this causes society to be rather dangerous, with a lot of crime, homelessness, drug abuse, etc.

Boards don’t really add direct value in that sense. They are mostly there to manage the CEO and otherwise stay hands off. My guess is this is more about the optics of getting someone famous in the world of AI on the board so they don’t look like they’re out of the AI race.
Pretty important quote here:

It reflects the fact that Amazon in serious about AI. If fact they are well positioned with their datacenters and a lot of ways to apply, starting with smarter Alexa.

Stephen King has always been bitter that Kubrick made a movie that was better than his book, while inverting the moral of the book.
Any abstract advice that's like "do this instead of something else" looks to me like the person had a bad experience and is generalizing from it. This goes both ways, applying to both the original hype about OOP, and this sort of modern anti-OOP hype. It turns out bad code is possible regardless of which design pattern is used.
Q: So will they "recalibrate" my iPad Pro to restore FaceID working with a third-party display repair?

Decreased battery life, because you have to actively keep polling. Either WebSockets or even real TCP sockets would make that a lot better.

Also, it means that a server can't really push events at you, especially if they're coming in rapidly, as they might be with a sufficiently active community. Like sure, once you're waiting for the server response for your long poll request, you'll get the data, but between receiving the data and the next time you poll, there's bound to be stuff happening in your chat room that you'll only know about the next time you poll. Of course with that, you wouldn't need to poll for long, but that also causes problems with battery.

In contrast WebSockets or even raw, real TCP sockets the server can just push stuff at you.
I have some really bad news for you about OpenSSL.
Looks interesting! We built an extension for something similar.

Is Caltech the only school that went from refusing to consider SATs to requiring them? My sense is that lots of schools went test-optional during the pandemic, and now some are going back to test-required. But I can't think of another school that went all the way to test-refused and is now returning to test-required.
>but I wouldn't go so far as to say that HN is "full of" either far-right extremists or (US) libertarians.

"full of" can be interpreted many ways. I don't mean to say that the vast majority of people here are like that, but there are some very vocal members here, and I don't see them being down-modded to oblivion as I would in more moderate venues. In a forum full of college-educated Europeans, for instance, I would not see any of that nonsense.
If you require more than two clicks to create a server then you’re not in the same market as Discord. The point of Discord is that users can make servers instantly.

Discord users often make temporary servers to suit a particular need at a particular time when a group of people need to collaborate. Some of these servers become permanent, some die. If there’s any friction to creating a server then it loses the dynamic of how communities start on discord.
To be fair, this is a sensational headline - exodus.. of a trillion dollar company, into 45,000 sqft? We aren't talking aboutnmuch office space at all. In fact, it's only maybe +/- 10 small rooms offshooting from a few cube farms, once you account for passageways, restrooms, and other human essentials.
I guess it's up to their evaluation of the risk since they're the ones who'll pay for fraud if someone finds your lost card and guesses the PIN. Though if you're not going into a branch, there's no opportunity for you to choose a PIN so they have to do it for you.
demonstrably false
> It's basically an ideology that has substituted class struggle with race and identity struggle. There are oppressors and there are oppressed, and the oppressed need a voice and people to fight on their behalf.

Do you think that treating people poorly and outright discriminate against them based on racism is only an ideological issue? To put it differently, do you think that South Africa's apartheid system is only a problem if you frame it through a communist/marxist perspective?
Yeah I've been using them for my indie conferences since 2020. I recently argued [0] that it's not the Year for Matrix, even if Discord now has ads and is doing sketchy stuff typical of enshitification.

Unfortunately I just don't see Matrix's priorities going towards UX. I'm dropping them. Revolt has promise [1], at the very least as a stopgap.

I disagree with your disagree. You can't change people and you can't expect them to be any smarter than they are right now, which is not enough to use IRC no matter how much you expect them to be able to learn how to.
1. This keyserver does.

2. Keys have types. These keys were marked for use for encryption. You can upload keys for signing only if you wanted to.
Further, even if it were the case, it's the fault of android and Apple developers for having failed to implement a client for mobile. An issue that could and ought to be resolved.
> This is not normal. It's amateurish in the extreme that leads to the only conclusion that whoever wrote this ZeroMQ thing is not a real software engineer. I.e. stay away at all costs.

I don't think that's a remotely fair assessment. ZeroMQ is a very large and quite popular project but it's also getting close to two decades old if I remember correctly. Any large C or C++ project that is that old is going to have quite a bit of historical cruft. And looking at some of the code that said vulnerability touched, most of that code was over a decade old.

Not to claim that it's any less severe but this is the nature of long lived projects. Unless they are massively privileged, they tend to have more code than eyes to look at said code and said code often was written in the bad old days.
Additionally, copy buttons are very nice.
The Biggest AI Hype Fraud of All Time
Huh? No: the European cities leveled by bombing were, mostly, rebuilt exactly the way they were laid out before. Go look at downtown Nuremburg, for instance: they built it to look exactly as it did before. The area outside downtown is much more car-friendly, though, but that part wasn't populated pre-war anyway.
Yeah it does, because you left the key for the place where you stored everyone else's keys out in the relative open. It reduces your defensive depth to 1, as in, 1 compromise was all it took.

For a tortured analogy, let's say you keep your guns in a gun-safe in your garage, and then hang the key for the safe in the garage. With a sign saying "gun safe key".

Not leaving the safe key out in the open doesn't guarantee your guns are impervious, of course, a sufficiently motivated and skilled burglar willing to put time and effort into breaking open the safe would be able to access your guns.

But, that takes time. And it makes noise. Both of which increase the chance of being caught.

But if the key is right there? Easy as.

Yep, they had obtained access to the repo, like the burglar had obtained access to the garage.

But if the AWS secrets weren't just hanging on the wall, then progressing from Gitlab compromise to S3 compromise would a) be harder and b) take longer, both of which increase the chance of discovery.

Just saying, if you care about the security of your guns and/or customer data, don't leave the key hanging about in plain sight as a good first step.

Make them compromise multiple things, not just one thing.

I'm desperately trying to work encryption at rest into this analogy. Um... trigger locks?
Bump to say that I have also had a much better experience with rdp on Debian 12 using freerdp. The amount of settings I am able to tweak means that my experience is 100% better using Linux connected to a windows machine vs Microsoft rdp to windows. Better scaling, better frame time, better color quality, no audio issues. I am even able to watch a YouTube video or something without noticing the difference most of the time. And this is with 2 1440p screens and 2 1080p screens in multi monitor mode, full resolution, 24bpp. Using windows rdp I get color blocking, audio fuzziness and terrible lag, especially if I try to go multi monitor.

There's a modern version of this on YouTube, I've tried finding him in my history but his channel might have been deleted. Hes an Israeli that took camera into Gaza and interacted frequently with Palestinians in forbidden zones. Mostly it was anticlimactic, but he did have some very striking interviews, especially post Oct. 7th. I think near the end of my viewing he was forcibly interned by the Israeli government, either in prison or a mental facility, I'm not sure. People are out there sharing such material, but it seems mostly limited to private servers.
Every "problem" the IRC protocol faces, including UX, can be fixed.
Yes it can take a bit of playing around with the settings which are very buried to get things to work optimally. I’ve never had to edit the registry for this tho. However by chance I have not had this hdmi/displayport issue since I have multiple monitors and a mix of the two standards.

I think this article could have been more compelling with a more recent Django project. Django 2.0 officially supported Python ends at 3.7. Python 3.7 is out of support.
