What's the point of a strategy to criticise Google in that case? Are they criticising Google for no reason or to move some of the blame / direct people's anger at Google for keeping secrets online? In any case, you didn't use the word "blame" and it's my fault for interpreting your comment in this specific way.

I didn't see a "strategy" to criticise Google. There was ONE reply to someone asking about the "caches" they were working with. That reply listed the "caches" and complained about Google being too slow. That's it. I think we are stretching things a bit if we look at that comment and context, and conclude that the CEO's strategy was to criticise Google.
The operation of the trains probably ran with precision, despite the need to switch between tracks and trains of a different gauge, and despite the occasional accident.

But, like Google's garbage, the user experience for shipping or riding was abysmal.
You have to look at the total time (crucially including future maintenance and bug fixes) not just the time to get to a basic working prototype.
Shareholders are just owners.

Every company has to have owners (even if those owners are the employees, for instance). Owners ultimately make the decisions, by electing a board which oversees management.

Anyone starting a company is free to cap profits if they want. You can write it directly into the articles of incorporation.

Obviously it makes it harder to find investors, so good luck.
This feels approximately the correct shape to me.
Ok, we've scratched that bit from the title above.
Agreed — every “accommodation” granted to such kids for exams is just legitimized cheating, IMO.

Some kids have shorter attention spans than others. Where does one draw the line between “personality” and “disorder”?
Nice tool! Do you have plans with integrating with colleges and their course data in the future? I feel like it would be nice if users could put college name and look for classes.

SOS I'm worried Pionex might be trying to SCAM me
It's like they're putting up barriers to stop me from getting my money out.

I've been using Pionex for a while now, and everything has been good. But recently, I can't seem to withdraw my USDT anymore.

Besides my phone number and email that have always been bound to my account, now they're asking me to add Google Authenticator for withdrawals as a required option, and the only way to add Google Authenticator is by getting an SMS code first for security, but guess what? I never receive the SMS verification code so I can't add Google Authenticator which means I can't withdraw.

Every other operation on Pionex gives me the code right away, except for this one. I've tried everything, from all the available channels to even using the call option they provide instead of the SMS code, but still nothing.

I don't have any blocked or filtered SMS messages, I checked everything in their FAQ. Also, as I mentioned before, any operation that requires an SMS code, I get it instantly, but when it comes to withdrawing or any related operation, the SMS never shows up.

I used to live chat with the team, and they were available all the time, but as soon as I mentioned the withdrawal issue, they ghosted me. There's no more live chat, and they don't reply to my emails. Should I complain to the authorities? What should I do next?
I don't really trust either to come up with good regulation policy. Industry would be biased towards their own interest and government lacks the expertise.

I think there is still an opportunity for government to implement regulation that meets the consensus of a variety of fields. This is not an easy problem to solve and I really think expecting any single person or organization would have the answer. Working together on a consensus for regulation would give the government a direction when currently they freely admit that they do not know what the right way is.

The problem I see is there are lots of points of view each trying to get something quickly that covers their specific area of focus. This does not seem like a pathway to robust regulation.

I assume there are discussions at the academic level of what would be a good response. Does anybody have a good link to what is being discussed at that level?

Is there any forum that covers good faith discussion involving industry, academia, and the public?
I feel that you didn’t take the time to understand the question and keyboard warriored an irritated response instead.

Nonetheless, have a wonderful Sunday evening!
Trusthworthy has two meanings here. I trust that Apple does have no intention to look into my private data. I think they'd rather have no way of getting into it while providing the services as that minimizes their liability. In that sense they are trustworthy. But you might not trust them to be secure enough to store that data. Or maybe it has nothing to do with Apple, maybe you don't want your keychain in the "cloud" ever. I trust Apple does not intend to be nefarious, I don't trust (the security of) any "cloud" to store sensitive data. Those are not conflicting positions to be in.
Right, but Apple wants that money after funding an actual dev program to port code to that platform. This dev platform is going to be much higher risk than a consumer platform and might be something you want to give back.
> Also, the stdlib shouldn’t have chickened out with regular value-returning functions. Just because the dogfood gives you heartburn doesn’t mean you shouldn’t eat it :)

Yes, although an alternative would be to make the syntax if you call the function where a value is expected, then it will automatically catch.

You can use my SQL spreadsheet app: https://superintendent.app

I had a similar problem at work where I needed to do some formula on a 5 GB CSV file. Excel can't handle more than 1M rows. Database through command line is too clunky. I did try to split the CSV into multiple files before but using formula on top of multiple files isn't easy. Eventually I built a Desktop GUI wrapper on SQLite, and it grew into Superintendent.app (now powered by DuckDB).

The newest version supports "Ask AI", which can be used for "Ask your CSVs anything" and "Ask AI to write/rewrite SQLs for you". It has been pretty fun to use and tell AI to "Expand *", "format all dates to something like May 3, 2024", and etc.
If you ask me to code something that I worked on during my last project/client, I'll probably do it more than 10x faster.

My point: one person can be his own 10x coder depending on (recent) experience and niche knowledge being applicable to a project. To any manager I will look more than 10x faster than my peers.

But I would definitely not be 10x "better" than my peers at our job in general.
I mean in the case of an array type that tracks its length at runtime. Take:

typedef struct {
uint32_t arr1_len, arr2_len;
int* arr1;
int* arr2;
} Foo;

That's, on a 64-bit system, a 24-byte structure. Were it written as a struct of two array fields, the compiler couldn't choose a layout as efficient while maintaining being able to get a pointer to each field. Never mind that the compiler would likely not be omniscient enough to be able to tell that the structure is never used with arrays exceeding 2^32 elements.

Perhaps you mean to keep using regular pointers for non-trivial heap-stored things, but I'd imagine that makes up a pretty significant amount of cases with buffer overflow potential.
Really glad you brought up FINRA, as I think it's the model that will ultimately work best for AI regulation. Despite their protestations, FINRA is almost a "quasi-governmental" organization at this point. I think of it as the SEC being ultimately in charge, but FINRA is responsible for the nitty-gritty, technical details of the regulations.

I think with AI, you'll need an industry body because they'll have the needed AI knowledge and expertise about the technology itself, but ultimately a government oversight body carries the legal force of the state.

> The competition can run multiple displays.

That’s a fair point, but also a narrow need. If that’s your need, then absolutely, look elsewhere. But the reason that it isn’t a major problem for Apple is that it isn’t a very common need—the laptop’s screen plus one external display is probably what the vast majority of people—even pros—need.
So you're saying that the people who've been with us for years that do things 10x faster than their peers did the same things last month?
> I don't trust any company

It does not have to be a matter of trust. People make mistakes. The wrong mistake can lead to a vulnerability. Technology advances. What was considered secure 20 years ago is not considered secure today. Companies change hands and have changes in leadership. Then there is the question of: what does trusting a company mean? Their actions are the result of a multitude of minds, not a singular one.
My personal opinion is that 'not' (Python-style) should be the operator instead, simply because it's easier to miss a ! than a 'not'. With that said, I'm with you in the 'not isEqual(a, b)' camp.

The exception, imo, is functions that take boolean arguments. Languages should make it easy to show what they mean, and devs should take care to explain them.

sort(reverse=true, numeric=false) is much easier to read than sort(true, false).

(Silly example, it's meant to illustrate the general point, not to say anything about the signature of a sort() function.)
This article is interesting but when we’re talking about design elements I think it’s always a good idea to include some actual demos or examples showing the final result and not just the “code”. I might also not be the target audience but I still don’t understand what container queries are or what old paradigm they’re replacing. The author does a good job explaining the difference between border-radius and the old way of using photoshop, but fails to do that for the features that he’s trying to promote.
I believe there's a few cases where you're allowed to talk about Fact A, and you're allowed to talk about Fact B, but you're not allowed to talk about both Fact A and Fact B at the same time. Mostly (entirely?) having to do with export restrictions around technologies that the government wants to keep away from other countries it doesn't like.

I'd think that an AI system that answers questions combining both could get its makers in trouble in ways that a standard search engine finding separate results about each from separate queries probably wouldn't.
You're not making a logical argument against the reasoning, you're just saying that a logical argument, ignoring probability at every level, leaves you helpless. Trusting things isn't a solution, it's a cop-out.

Instead of a magic formula, you take things on a case-by-case basis, examining sources and possible motives of those sources, looking at past experience with them for hints. This sounds like work because it is. It's very easy to just accept what you're told, but it's not heroic or even reasonable.

Those are variations of the same thing from an HN systems point of view. The problem is that there are way too many of these stories to be interesting and/or to all be on HN's front page, but they tend to attract upvotes anyway.

As I said above, we're happy to make exceptions for the occasional thread that is genuinely of interest, but sometimes the process for idenitfying those is "apply standard penalties -> generate howls of protest -> eventually find out about community pushback (e.g. in this case someone emailed hn@ycombinator.com) -> restore post".
This looks great. Well done.
My theory is that we're all pretty much that immature, but the rest of us have normal societal guardrails confirming that we're not actually as special and smart as we think we are.

But these tech bros and others with that much power have no such societal constraints. And, importantly, they did have huge impacts on society: creating the first popular Internet browser, jumpstarting the EV revolution, exposing the masses to AI - these all really were enormous accomplishments. So it's not that hard to go from there to convincing yourself that your shit don't stink and that you have some unique insight into all areas of human existence.
I think you conflating bugs. Apple doesn't use Xpdf as the basis of the PDF Framework. The NSO bug exploited a bug in the JBIG2 file format. The same implementation of this code was included in both Xpdf and the Apple PDF code. That is why Xpdf needed to also fix the same code.
Your whole argument about the Johannson issue depends on the presumption that OpenAI will end up being the loser in the legal battle or in the court of public opinion.

I think OpenAI will end up winning the legal battle. The voice is not similar enough to Johannson's for her to win.

On the court of public opinion, OpenAI will lose trust from a small portion of the population, but for the rest of the world, it's not gonna matter at all. The positive impact of "OpenAI just made the movie Her a reality" is bigger than the negative impact.

When I was writing my proposal to get into a PhD program, I had to do a crash course in formally verified applications. The focus of the program is actually in Isabelle, but Coq is similar enough (in a hand-wavey kind of way) to where it was relevant to what I was writing about, and I stumbled across a few formally verified things with Coq.

I became slightly obsessed with CompCert, but it felt like a "real" program that was utilizing proper formal verification techniques. It seemed so cool to me that there can be (to some extent), and "objectively correct" version of a C compiler. I still think it's very cool; I wish people would geek out about this stuff as much as I would sometimes.
Which almost reads as a cautionary tale about mechanisms like Dust's `unsafe`. Not necessarily the specifics of the Rust, but the overall idea of having a safe (by whatever means) sunset of operations and and additional unsafe operations, which eases code analysis tremendously. You can't got without unsafe in most embedded systems. But it's good to very explicitly mark in the code wherever the unknown depths of UB lurk if not the most attention is exercised.
This is wonderful; please develop this further, and use in an actual game!

I'm very much longing for game graphics being not movie-like. I want to feel inside a game, which has its internal logic and aesthetics, but which is not trying to copy the real world to the very minute detail. The movie-like quality breaks down due to various limitations, and we end up in the uncanny valley, where the world looks real but feels like a puppet show.

What made Doom great was not only its gameplay and art, but also its kinda realistic but not realistic light and animation. What made Monument Valley great was exactly the departure from the real-life geometry The in-your-face pixelization / voxelization of Minecraft not only did not repel the kids who never saw 8-bit games, but became iconic.

What sets out the voxel displacement rendering for me is the departure from flat and glossy low-poly surfaces and edges (which the author pays special attention to). Real-world textures are rarely glossy, and edges are rarely sharp. But modeling it the way it's done in some modern games is apparently crazy expensive and requires colossal graphical assets, such that are out of reach of a typical modder. The author's approach achieves the feeling of a nice palpable texture with low-poly geometry and low-res textures; it's very promising.
Companies adapt to regulations and don't just walk away from 100s of millions of customers. Companies made a lot of noise about GDPR and yet it's now a non-issue.
My experience is that you are slower/way slower without an IDE.

I'm myself a CLI person, and I'd consider myself quite proficient using the shell and console editors like Vim. I know many shortcuts and I manage myself quite well and very fast there.

However, when I do Java development I use an IDE. There's so many things that an IDE does that regular text editors don't (sure, there's ways to hack them to do some subset of those things, but that takes a lot of setup time and they'll always be a subset). Programming efficiency is not about typing fast or speeding up moving a paragraph of code to the end of the file by doing d-}-G-p; but rather to ask the IDE to do a refactor of some code, remove unused dependencies, click on a method to see it's definition or get contextual JavaDoc, to name a few (basic) features that IDE give you,

I recently came across this fact of Apple's display limits after Vision Pro came out. I thought that it would be great for virtual desktop/productivity use, but sadly limited only to a Mac I don't have. I found that the amount of monitors able to be shown was limited to those supported by a mac, to support 2 displays, you needed a Pro, and for 3 a Max. Wait, what?

As someone that has been using 3-6 displays for the past 20 years, I really don't get how or why this is hard for Apple to figure out. They're the only ones that haven't.

While Apple can't figure out how to show more than physical supported displays virtually, 3rd party Vision apps such as Immersed have, making proper apps that can render I think up to 5 displays. Over wifi or even usb-c, it'll never be as good as DisplayPort or other hard-line connection, so compromise is necessary regardless. It is "good enough" for these others like Immersed, and far better than anything Apple is giving.

The only company I hate more than Apple is Meta, but I'll probably buy a $500 Meta Quest 3 + my already suitable PC before I ever do Vision Pro + Mac for some $10k, and get far more functionality (and available apps).

This commentary strikes the right balance between necessary/inevitable progress toward AGI and one or more common goods (however you define that—-even as a libertarian).

The other more difficult question though is behind the screen—-how do we achieve the right balance between what we believe is the common good? How will we (liberal democratic belief systems) evaluate our version of the common good against other versions of the common good: what “they” (autocratic, theocratic, …) believe is the common good?

No one society/culture can rationally adjudicate this decision or make any decisions stick.

Unfortunately this has already become yet another version of “warfare by other means”.

I personally hope that a pragmatic inclusive liberal democratic tradition gains a strong upper hand. I want my AGI to read and embed J Dewey, Gh Mead, J Rawls, J Habermas, O Dasgupta, RA Posner, and R Rorty.

But here will inevitably be battles among AGI systems, perhaps on behalf of one or another human culture; perhaps not. Both scenarios are equally frightening. The Chinese proverb of “living in interesting times” applies in force.
