The law is complicated, but basically if you're not an insider, information becomes public when you, a member of the public, notice it.

If you're at the airport near google HQ and you the CEO of a struggling AI startup arrive and hail a taxi to the google offices, and you think an acquisition might be on the cards? You're free to trade on that information, anyone in the airport could have recognised that guy.

Some complexity arises because insiders aren't allowed to tip you off. If you're golf buddies with the CEO of a struggling AI startup, and he tells you he made a business trip yesterday and Moffett Field is a great airport? If you figure an acquisition is on the cards and trade on that, it's insider trading.

"Disabled" is not metric among those who have disabled it, while WebGL enabled allows identifying different browsers with WebGL enabled.

I know what you mean, but statistically, I don't think that it is easier to guess the person from those who have disabled it versus the list of all browser fingerprints where is that matching or very close unique fingerprint.
Dunno, but it's definitely something to consider. Birds are suspected to be able to "see" magnetic fields, and a lot of the electronic warfare both sides are waging require distorting these fields to a massive degree. If a bird can sense a huge cluster of warping magnetic anomalies it will avoid it, as we've seen them do in the past with radio telescope arrays and over-the-air TV antenna towers.
Interesting video, thanks.

It should be even more evident that you can't judge whether they're doing a good job by looking at just the numerator. You need to know the denominator as well. Or rather, the denominators.

In a simplified model there are two groups of users {good,bad} and two outcomes {suspended,not suspended}. You're saying that success can be judged by whether there are any people claiming to be good (though you have no idea of whether that's true, they're just claiming that on the internet) ending in the {claims-to-be-good, suspended} bucket.

But actually to judge whether they're doing a good job, you'd need to look at the {good, not suspended}, {bad, suspended} and {bad, not suspended} buckets too.

The first one is a baseline. Obviously if you've got a billion users, all your numbers are going to be 1000x higher than a somebody with a million users just due to the higher number of users. The number of internet complaints will be 1000x higher too. But the actual harm to the average user from the mistakes is the same.

The second bucket are the successes, and they are going to be totally invisible to everyone not working on the problem. Not only to the random HN commenters, but to the random bigco employee too. They literally can't judge the success. The only visibility will be if that number is too low, since it obviously means the third bucket is too high. And that will be visible as the platform being overrun by spam and scams.

Now, I understand that your view is that it must be completely impossible for a possibly good user to lose an account. That's just the kind of thing that people who don't understand the problem space would say at an all hands open mike, and then get ignored because their view is just so detached from reality. It's not even a matter of resources; even if you threw infinite resources at the problem, what you'd end up with is a worse experience in the aggregate.

You'd have scammers reinstated, and continue scamming more people. You'd have accounts be hijacked because the scammers are going to be better at social engineering their way into accounts than the real users will be at social engineering their way to account recovery.

It's all tradeoffs, and absolutist statements about how it's unacceptable for even a single good user to suffer any harm are just as unrealistic as absolutist statements about how even a single piece of spam can't make it through. The best you can do is try to find the best place in the tradeoff space.

Thanks for this - I think there's something to also be said about too many people failing once and not trying again.

This could be for any number of reasons:

1. burnout
2. life circumstances (dependents like kids, parents or others)
3. time to failure - if you built a company for 9 years, you might have less time and appetite to start again (partly due to 1 and 2)

Life is uncertain, many things about our life are probabilistic. Risk management is central to many aspects of life.

Yes, Codemirror.

My guess - the app's users uploading university course material to a third party is likely a violation of school rules. Emory IT disabled the button to generate Canvas access tokens, and the 'workaround' the kid developed in response caused the IT folks to escalate.

An LLM trained on course material could in theory be used to generate homework answers, so they wanted to shut it down before it actually happens. (Hell, the demo question on their website[1] sounds taken straight from a problem set) It would be as if the answer key to the homework leaked, except its for every homework in every course. The punishments are to discourage others from building clones. Though I suspect this is going to cause a Streisand effect.

It’s a cult, but you don’t have to join the cult. I use Rust both privately and more and more frequently professionally and I don’t really notice the cult community outside of smiling at it once in a while when it blows up on HN.

We’re mostly adopting rust to replace our C, to protect us from ourselves. It’s just so much easier to hand off these sort of projects to developers who mainly work with things like Java or C#. Partly because of the memory “safety” but also because things like enums work the way they expect them to being sum types, and so on. It’s also very clear when something is intended not to be mutable. The borrow checker is probably the biggest struggle, where with C, everything is a struggle.

Rust still has a long way to come though, and maybe it’ll never get there. I do think we’ll see an uptake as performance increasingly matters due to cloud costs and ESG. Right now though, I’d argue that unless you know why you “want” to use Rust then maybe you shouldn’t.
llama.cpp has a way to constrain responses to a grammar, which is 100% reliable as it is implemented in the inference itself. You still need to tell the model to produce a certain format to get good results, though.

Except we really need deflation. A dollar today is 2.6x less than a pre-2021 dollar. People can't afford homes anymore, and it's not entirely because of the interest rate, but because everyone's home has doubled in price since 2020.

The market is locked up. How many families are making 133k+ a year to make the 3x rule for a 400k tiny townhome? The US Census reports the average household income is 75k.

The Feds and Deep State have played with people's lives for too long, pretending like they can offer security and order. In reality, they've screwed over the middle class.
Speaking for my own abuser, he is the only subject in his entire world. The rest of the universe is full of objects only. He has demonstrated (to clinicians, not just to me) that he has no ability whatsoever to realize that other people are capable of feeling different things than he does, so if something makes him feel good, it makes even the little child he's doing it to feel good too.

He has said on a number of occasions that he (still, in his late 60s) struggles to believe things continue to exist when he can't see them. Even if you're sitting across a table from him and can clearly see behind him, he doesn't believe the things behind him continue to exist, even though you can see them.

I suspect he's on a pretty extreme end of a spectrum there, but that some version of that underlies a lot of trauma. Adults are doing something to meet some need or desire they have, without enough awareness that the (usually young) person in front of them is experiencing it totally differently.

If done comprehensively, this strategy has the potential to be much better than a traditional stacktrace because you can embed local variables within each additional error context string.

The main problem with traditional stacktraces is that, while you get line numbers, local variables at every stack frame are not preserved. So unless the error is obvious like FileNotFound, you’re left guessing as to how the error happened.

While still being hella verbose and probably too much effort for most code, the upfront investment would obviate the need for adding debug print statements or dropping into a breakpoint to inspect the code after an exception.

That said, the post does feel like copium for the ridiculous verbosity in Go and re-inventing chained exceptions.

CL is very general purpose. Where it shines IMO is: the development experience (interactive, good compile-time type warnings with SBCL), the stability, the delivery of applications (compile to a self-contained binary), the overall feature set.

I use it for web back-ends and little scripts. Everything's stable, my Sentry dashboard is empty. [edit: sorry, just had a stupid production error in my Python app] Some friends love Elixir and do great things with it, but I'm in your reverse situation: I don't have enough incentives to switch. Elixir's REPL is good but it's only a REPL, not an image-based experience. Its Emacs modes are rudimentary. Phoenix looks great, but it's very opinionated (and very much code-generator oriented, strange). I can't copy-paste a binary to my servers (or other users). The Torch admin dashboard looks cool, but I just made my own in a week-end (and again, I'm afraid by code generation). LiveView looks awesome but it's its own little world and I might approach it with HTMX and HTMX websockets.

TLDR; I can do both web apps and CLI tools with CL and switching must be worth it too.
> Since TS has stack traces

That's the key here - I would not need anything like this in Python either, because it has stack traces.

But Go designers decided to really drop the ball here - there are no stack traces on "err" values, so one has to implement them by hand as article demonstrates.

Which is a pity. Go has a lot of great things going for it, but the error handling just makes everything unnecessary verbose.

I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing, unless the content of the page was something like "eating a sandwich" which, afaict, is not the purpose. The article author wrote:

> So in 2015, I made a /now page on my website, saying what I’d tell a friend I hadn’t seen in a year.

So the 2021 pages are probably a little out of date, but I think the 2023 and more recent ones should be fine. I think /now is less a Twitter clone and more like an 'About Me' with only the most recent interesting thing you want to say.
My mom keeps talking about how much she wants grandchildren. My brother decided the trauma stops with him, so until he's sure he wouldn't repeat any of dad's harmful behaviors, he doesn't want to have kids. I'm only just now getting to a point where I've done enough work that anyone wouldn't be crazy to want to date me, but I'm doing it at an age where biological kids are less and less likely.

So I guess that's one thing that might characterize society: Lots of frustrated would-be grandparents.
