I haven't been following closely, but I had thought firebase was like a streaming database or something. But I guess not if it also runs AI models. Is "Firebase" more of a brand, then, nowadays that encompasses a family of products? Or am I misunderstanding something?
I could be missing something but I don’t think any of those three have ever been convicted by the ICC.

The examples are domestic crimes because the argument is that the US doesn’t need to be party to the Rome Statute because it would enforce similar penalties on servicemen and leaders using domestic jurisdiction. Others countered that the US somehow can’t do that despite the former president literally being on trial as we speak and the above commenter provided examples to the contrary.
From the article:
"paleographers today identify the extinction of scriptio continua as a critical factor in augmenting the widespread absorption of knowledge in the pre-Modern Era. By saving the reader the taxing process of interpreting pauses and breaks, the inclusion of spaces enables the brain to comprehend written text more rapidly."
(BTW, "bias" is a noun, and "biased" is the adjective. It's like the difference between "I am prejudice" and "I am prejudiced.")
I'm sorry, I feel like I'm missing something here. I have an M1 Macbook Pro running Sonoma 14.1.1 (I need to update...), I have a nice pair of Sony Bluetooth headphones. I turn my headphones on and off multiple times a day, they connect to my Mac, Apple Music doesn't launch. What are you all complaining about?

Edit: Just tried connecting my 3M Worktunes, and they didn't launch anything either.
They just posted record earnings too. We see this as a problem, but it’s not for them. They can continue creating things that we are weary of using, but the average person is not. From the reviews I’ve seen, their Pixel phone line has so many issues now, but people continue to buy. The brand to too big to fail at this point, regardless of what the technically inclined think.
We must seize or copy the magic black box and make it free for everyone. It represents a great potential to reduce suffering and knowledge scarcity. It would be a massive injustice to do anything but make it part of the universal human legacy.
> We need to start shaming the actual [individuals/regular people/employees]

Yes, do call out bad practice when you see it. But please don't be hostile to (any/some of) the employees "who build these systems". They're doing their job/s. They're not responsible for the giant evil megacorp that employs them. They don't "empower" the corporation. It's obviously not that simple.

What is simple is that Microsoft doesn't treat Windows users like vermin because some random UX guy said to.
It's the other way around.
The UX guy got told what to do.
The engineers got told what to do.
They all got told what the software was supposed to do and they tried to make the software to do what it was supposed to do, because that's what their job is.

And for this one example, the imaginary UX guy actually made a more correct choice.
The "maybe later" button is likely the best design given the constraints.
The user isn't allowed to truly say "no, never", so presenting the negative option as "no" and then showing the dialog again a bit later would be a worse UX than the "maybe later" button which at least does what it says.

Speaking of giant evil megacorps, maybe direct your hostilities towards them instead. Your issue is with them, the company. It's their software/behaviour.
I haven’t experienced much turbulence in maybe 15 years, whereas I remember in the 90s I experienced tons of turbulence in almost every flight. I am not sure if this is something modern airliners have been designed to deal with or avoid, or not.

Finally! This is so annoying for Spotify users. Every time the system starts up, and Spotify is configured to start at startup, but you haven't interacted with the window yet, then press the physical play button on the keyboard—instead of starting playback as you'd expect, the system starts Apple Music. It drives me mad.
If someone on HN who knew someone Jobs or Woz personally tells you something about them it is only 2nd hand, not "at best" 3rd or 5th hand information.

So? What's your point here? At no point did I say the above logic was wrong, infer it, say that it was so. You're literally arguing against something I never said, and me pointing that out, and showing you where I said "most", hasn't resulted in you modifying your argument.

I get the impression that you're not reading my entire comment, and then responding with all of the info in mind at once.

For example, I discussed how "knowing someone" has caveats. That talking to someone once, doesn't give context, doesn't equate to "knowing someone". That working with someone doesn't equate to "knowing someone", if the result was "I'd talk to the guy for a few sentences once per month" or "occasionally seem them talking to other people".

The entire context of this conversation revolves around understanding the world view of someone. Not seeing how they act for an incredibly tiny slice, non-contextualized slice of their life. And to "know" someone, you need to have actual, detailed conversations with them.

Further, I've covered how "watch video of them talking" isn't actually 1st hand in many respects. That's because often context is removed. You've just skipped that part.

One other thing you've also missed, is how people change. Part of my post was also about how Jobs wouldn't be the Jobs known by anyone. He'd be "Jobs plus > decade more experience". People change as they age.

If you wish to reply, I'd ask you stop handpicking parts of sentences to respond to, and respond to context as well.
> The normal people who actually think about things don't participate because they have better things to do than useful idiots.

Actually, "normal" people should thing about these things if their tax dollar is funding the genocide against the Palestinians.

To be quiet on the killing is to be complicit.

> there is no genocide

One better thing for you to do is not spread lies.
Didn’t llama have a 700 million user clause that was widely interpreted to specifically exclude the FAANGs? How does that figure into this official Google release?
By looking both ways and therefore mitigating the risk through reducing the likelihood of being killed while crossing the road by oncoming traffic.

The risk mitigation technique for dealing with severe turbulence which frequently injures people, and only rarely kills people (thankfully), is to keep your seatbelt loosely fastened, and get out of your seat only when you need to.

The fact this is considered absurd by some replies here is a fascinating insight, TBH.
How do people feel about LLM generated tests?

I tried creating some on a personal project just using ChatGPT and it saved me a lot of toil on tests I probably wouldn’t have written. I did find I had low trust in refactoring my code, but higher than if I’d had no tests.

It seemed like a net positive for low risk cases.
> Research has shown that climate change will make severe turbulence more likely in the future.

In the grand scheme of things, this sounds like a fair punishment for humanity.

Kind of?

All these, effectively, plug into ASP.NET Core, on top of WebApplicationBuilder and WebApplication. They are then, usually, hosted with Kestrel (web server) and operate with the same set of abstractions. Razor Pages and Blazor are distinct names and I have never seen anyone confuse them with the ASP.NET Core itself.

If you put off all updating doesn't that lead to a lot of technical debt down the road? I guess most of the stuff I work with has to work for a long time and putting off updates just makes for a worse pile to sort out later once you find something newish to integrate and now it won't work with the older existing stuff. For us, keeping up to date incrementally helps prevent that maintenance work from building up. I guess it depends on how long you'll be maintaining the code. If it's something that won't need to work for a long time and you have enough devs then you can probably skip keeping things up to date and just rewrite it when it needs updating.
No, paying your ticket very much does change the legal process. The government may be free to seek other sanctions in court if you go there, and by paying up and giving in to the first demand, you preclude them from that opportunity. You change the legal process by giving up the money and not contesting the fine.

Every action you take in a legal process is a "change" of that legal process. At issue here is whether the plaintiff/claimant can demand a jury trial. Juries decide facts, and judges decide the law. By giving up the money, Google is effectively saying they won't be contesting the facts of the case. That means no need for a jury.

> Without spaces allowed you would need some other way to tell it where they start and end

That's not a problem at all, as long a a newline isn't treated as space and you don't use ML style function application, where a space is used to separate the argument(s) from the function name - `f x` instead of `f(x)`.

For me, it was DEBUG.EXE on MS-DOS.

This humble debugger allowed me to peek into interrupt vector tables, inspect the content of ROM, learn how MS-DOS boots from scratch, etc.

I fondly remember the days when armed with an assembler, some knowledge of the CPU and the computer architecture, we could plunge into the depths of the system, unravelling its intricacies to our heart's content.
I think this is not a fair comparison.

When crossing a road one has more input to judge the risk by looking in both directions, seeing potentially oncoming cars and estimating their speed.

In the plane you have no way as a passenger to know when it's more or less likely that turbulences are flown through or how heavy they would be.

Wonder how low would be the bar to become a politician. Signing up for a local council elections definitely makes one a politician, right!
I wonder if there’s data to assert what’s more dangerous in the long term:

> My argument is about genocide.

And my argument is that your "genocide argument" is overnarrow and has the effect of picking a side in a conflict that cannot and will not end unless people stop perpetuate it like that. Stopping your particular favorite enemy has the effect of empowering and emboldening their enemies, who are just as bad.
That's not an explanation, and quite frankly it's entirely unrelated. You can quite easily guarantee a top-level variable isn't initially aliased by looking at the form that assigned it. In most cases this will be a literal which is a fresh, unaliased value. If the value becomes aliased to more than one name, that means one instance of it escaped, so you will detect that when doing escape analysis. It's really quite simple logic.

> Whatever the spec says.

Well the document does mention a check for validity.

(def variable? (v)
(if (atom v)
(no (literal v))
(caris v vmark)))

(def valid-special-param? ((t-or-o (o var) (o expr) . rest))
(and (valid-params? var)
;; t parameters must have a type check.
(or (id t-or-o o) expr)
(no rest)))

(def valid-params? (p)
(if (no p) t
(variable? p) t
(or (caris p t) (caris p o)) (valid-special-param? p)
(and (id (type p) 'pair)
(valid-params? (car p))
(valid-params? (cdr p)))))

(def valid-top-params? (p)
(and (no (caris p o)) (valid-params? p)))

(def valid-function? ((o lit) (o clo) (o env) (o params) (o body) . rest)
(and (id lit 'lit)
(id clo 'clo)
;; Env, a proper list of pairs of symbols and bindings.
(and (proper env)
(all [id (type _) 'pair] env)
(all variable? (map car env)))
(valid-top-params? params)))

I think this should work, but I don't think it's worth $100.
2,000 fpm sounds like the pilot changing flight level to evade the turbulence, not the turbulence itself.
We are all playing a giant game with no real winners called "Don't Die". Few play it actively, most just try to avoid too much pain before they reach the end, and others play it a bit like Russian Roulette.

Jesus, that's such a feeble, dull, uninspired way to make product decisions. I'm squirming from second-hand embarrassment just thinking that some developer has to live this nightmare.
Not when it’s an exact imitation of the movie her, in a product that looks exactly like the product in that movie, where the company using the recording is actively trying to convince its customers its scarlet and everyone in the world is convinced its scarlet.

That’s misleading and blatantly illegal.

Someone stole from a bank and your argument is “are you saying it’s illegal withdraw money from a bank with vigor?”
Having just returned from the US, I was struck by this 'risk aversion' and the innate US 'competition'.

To give an example: there was a Subway on one of the streets in the US. A few doors down there was an independent sandwich shop that was offering similar, larger sandwiches, with more toppings, for less, with a huge advertisement saying so. In the UK, close to where I live, there's a Subway on the High St., and an independent cafe down the street. The cafe continues to serve two-slices of bread with an average amount of filling for slightly less than Subway, and has no interest in competing, despite Subway getting double, or more, the foot traffic.

That's the UK all over.

Developers' Perceptions on the Impact of ChatGPT in Software Development
And then imagine how it all appears on my 4inch-screen iPhone, if 5.8 inch is already too small.
The underlying tension here is the expectation of privacy for signals broadcast outside of one’s property and into the commons.

We don’t yet have a firm grasp on how to handle the issue of extending privacy into these shared spaces. There just seems to be two unreconcilable polar extremes at the current moment without a clear path forward.

At least in the United States it could mean needing an amendment to the constitution as the 4th doesn’t properly cover these protections.

Ad payers are people too.

Even if a user not directly paying, they are indirectly paying by clicking on ads and buying from the advertiser. In which case the cost of advertising is baked in.

Dotnet managed code wouldn't need any translation layer, right?
I have tried a similar idea before. I had two experts: one to propose a plan and another to critique it. It worked well, but often required 5 rounds of iteration to get to a great answer. The cost wasn't ideal and GPT4 still performed better on the first go, so I abandoned the idea.

I am curious how this approach compares to one-shot response from a larger model.
There are dozens of new prompting strategies that are less verbose that I would have tried before this.

CoT is considered legacy approach since at least self-discovery technique in feb.

If it works for you Quiet-STaR probably works better for you as 1-shot, apparently moreso with anthropic.

It could be misused and leak vital data but so can your browser history and the data that ISPs and social media and search companies have on you. They say all processing will be done locally but you'd have to be a fool to trust that. I'd prefer to see this as a product that you could connect to your computer which would take care of all the processing and storage and have reasonable guarantees on privacy and encryption. I'm sure we'll see something like that, unsure of how successful it would be in the long run. It is a useful feature, being able to "recall" everything you've seen on your computer. I get the naming but it's bad branding since recall has negative connotations and is such a common word with many uses. Time Machine was already taken ;P They should have gone with something more generic like Windows History or Microsoft Memory. If they wanted to be cheeky then Tip of the Tongue or Snappy the helpful screenshot as an animated camera would have been better.
I remember my Macbook 2019 Pro for its bad hardware: horrendous touchbar and terrible ports (no HDMI, no magnetic charging, no USB-A..)

But the software wasn't polished either: You can't use it in closed ("clamshell") mode, because it shuts down and you can't configure it. You need a 3rd party software to keep it on.

But you also can't keep it closed because then you can't reach the fingerprint sensor. You see: iPhones can't use fingerprint recognition because they don't have fingerprint sensors, iPhones use facial recognition. But Macs do have fingerprint sensors, but can not use facial recognition (for example using an IR camera like Windows Hello)

It's amazing how MacOS lacks features that everyone knows Windows has supported since XP days. ("When you close the lid > Power down / Keep running")
Would allowing spaces in identifiers even introduce any ambiguity in most languages? I think the only languages I've seen where it would matter are functional languages. e.g. I think it'd be possible to write a Python program using spaces instead of underscores, and be able to unambiguously parse it with a slightly modified parser?
