The stupid people thing annoys me, because you see so much of "man, the people doing this must be stupid for not doing that" in so much conversation, which ignores the reality that so many things are outside of an individual's control, and I think blaming individuals rather than systems leads to a lot of bad systems hanging around forever unchanged, as it tends to become a thought-terminating idea, just "don't be stupid".

Often, something is (seemingly) bad because of a lack of time or other resource, because a boss or standard told them to make it bad, because there is some bigger issue being avoided, etc...

Especially when it comes to browsers, vendors are making trade-offs, and supporting a very rare case like this when URLs are often very sensitive security-wise seems like one I could understand being wary of. Does a user understand what devices they are connecting to in that situation?

It's probably intended as a joking remark, maybe even an "all people are stupid" thing poorly done, but even so, I think it perpetuates a bad way of thinking about flaws in software.
My cynical take is that if they mess something up they don’t want to end up with video evidence of it.
They could have made the title more click-baity by saying:

> Potential surveillance, and, especially, manipulation and dumbing-down.

I'm not a TikTok user, but over the long weekend was around people that clearly are. The things they discussed we so outlandish that I was confused on where they got their information. Of course it was a lot of TikTok and YouTube being used as sources.

Personally, I'm much less concerned by any potential surveillance tool. However, the especially part of your sentence is much more worrying to me.

> Outlaw the irresponsible behaviors,

By this do you mean people posting utter nonsense? At that point, you verge on censorship. I recognize that free speech includes speech I don't like, but holy shite batman!, I've never seen such an effective tool for the crazies to find not just a voice with a megaphone but a 30,000w sound system where ever they go. Oh, and they are monetarily rewarded for behaving that way.

So other than slippery slope reasons, I couldn't careless if TikTok were to no longer exist. The net negative of it existing is not worth it in my opinion.

Honest question, what's wrong with Java? It's performant, has mature libraries, good documentation, and supported pretty much everywhere.
Applicant Tracking Systems have been a thing for a long time, even if you weren't familiar with the concept, context explains what's being talked about. Even if context didn't help, if you've applied for a job in the 20 years, you've experienced what's being talked about.
I am not sure I'd agree with that - at one point Salesforce tried to buy my company, which was a best-of-the-AppExchange partner, and their justification for their (very) low offer was "that's what it would cost us to copy you". We sold the company 2 years later for 10x their offer, without a ton in the way of new revenue (our AppExchange ranking mysteriously tanked after we turned down their offer).
> point is that spraying them will do nothing because they are literally in a giant pool of water already

Yeah. I mean obviously the water bottle and the rolled up newspaper examples were jokes. But I believe it would be much better for them if we could find their killer whale equivalent. Without that our options are "doing nothing, hoping they stop harassing boats", and "terminate them with extreme prejudice".

We don't shoot Fido in the head on the first infraction. (At least most people agree on that with some exceptions [1]) But that is largely because we have better options.

Romney replied, "Some wonder why there was such overwhelming support for us to shut down potentially TikTok or other entities of that nature.

So people Love chatGPT , but they hate ... bots?

The only difference between chatGPT and your support bot, is lack of maturity/investments to bring their unique knowledge to have similar quality of answers as chatGPT can answer you about your queries.

The quality of the bot = money you spend * how god is the tech.

prev gen bots are still essentially a programs written by human. Build a good bot is hard , sometimes require entire team of 10+ people working every day.

Think of it on a scale :

cheap no name brand - no support

average brand - some support, almost 100% bots and documentation, super hard to get to human agent.

apple brand - ok support with bots

luxury brands - super knowledgable human been always ready to help

It's clear that we don't have resources to deliver everyone support of a luxury brand.

Luckily, we have LLM's will 100x improvements to deliver bots that are way way better.

That will allow even small brands to have a very decent support.

Chat interfaces will eventually eat western world Web 2.0, and the rest of the world is already in chat interfaces around the globe anyways.
I agree. I think that a website using (styled) normal semantic HTML forms would be wayyy better for accessibility than some chatbot service which is likely doing some weird things to the markup as a response to stuff coming in on web sockets etc. I think Gov.UK is a great example of how those forms should look most of the time.

I would be a strong advocate for some regulatory framework requiring an effective right to access human support for businesses exceeding a certain size.
I’m glad we agree so throughly though I’m not sure what you’re referencing with a conspiracy
> If you want to regulate surveillance capitalism—and I do—convince people to care about the issue (and call their electeds and vote).

But the people being targeted by the platform are all watching videos telling them how their votes don't count, the deep state, and other things to encourage people to believe the system does not work. It is the absolute ultimate anti-democratic tool I have ever seen.

So a CRM that replicates Salesforce APIs? Sales people don’t want a Salesforce FOSS version, that’s why they green light salesforce. It’s about trend not practical software. Only dev teams that have been implementing Salesforce for 5 years want a FOSS version.

Good old software development. :( Recent case studies:

- llama.cpp wasn't tokenizing properly, and it came to a head with llama3. Essentially every local model before May 2024 is soft-deprecated, new ones have to indicate the proper tokenizer, and that currently only covers a small subset of popular models

- I recently had to review 41 Phi-3 and Llama 3 models, only 3 had the right tokenizer set

Not saying it's impossible, and we definitely should, and I bet it 100% happens, but...*shudders*
As someone who produces large scale events in major cities I can tell you it's still not a solved problem. In places like Times Square there's just so much RF going on from similar devices that you can see bizarre intermittent problems. That's the observation I'm using to assume it could also be done intentionally.

Which, of course, would be a massive problem with the FCC and a felony and all that. But technically it's still possible I'm assuming.

To answer your question yes, for sure large scale productions have the top end devices, and plenty of backups.
I looked it up, and it seems L3 is only used by Visa and MC, and only for B2B/B2G.

Basically a HEPA/electrostatic filter works in two ways.

As a “physical” filter (think fishing net), works well on big particles.

As an electrostatic filter, works best with really small, works by electrically attracting particles and having them stick.

2.5 micron is in the middle crossover range where total net effectiveness is worst. Respirators are rated at the same size for the same reason.
IMO a waterfall like process can work for a lot of projects, but you need a lot of time for estimation/derisking, and this work is hard, so often developers don't want to do it, and management/customers often don't want to pay for it. Some of the most successful projects I've worked on have started with an estimate that had only a few items with more than 4 hours attached to them. If you get estimates down to that level, that means that most of the significant technical decisions have already been made, and you've determined that your technical approach should work. If you do that, and then add a calibrated amount of padding for mistakes, you can very often hit estimates pretty much dead on (+-10%).

How much time it takes to prepare the estimate depends a lot on the nature of the work though. If there's something pretty similar the team has done multiple times, and you have access to estimates/tickets/timesheets, you can often get it done in about 5-10% of the total project time. However, for example, if it's an ML project, there may be a lot of unknowns that have to be clarified first. For example, data quality is almost always not what it is claimed to be at the outset, so this needs to be resolved before the estimate is generated.

Sure, but they have the right to self select out of the civic process (as well as to hear and repeat such things). I wouldn’t support this bill if TikTok.com were going to be blocked; the speech still has a right to the light of day.

I think you might be missing the point of the poster. While building more might in the reduce housing stress in the next few decades, rapid building for the sake of feeding the investor market is pouring gas on the fire.

Its tough

Ugh. Increasingly what bothers me about stuff like this is that we’re endlessly organizing more and more and more of our economic activity around marketing and advertising, and it chokes off the air-supply for so many other business models, products, and innovation pursuits.

The data privacy part? Sure, that’s annoying and troublesome, but God help me… can there be more of a point to everything than targeting & delivering ads? It’s just depressing.

The UK also has a lot of leakage. It would be nice to fix it but it's slow and expensive, often requiring digging roads up to get at the pipes.

A lot of our water comes from groundwater and I guess the leaks go back into the ground so it all works out sort of.
You might have covered this topic before, but I'm curious about the main performance differences between nanoGPT and llm.c.

To pile on with another sidenote: while in Stockholm we've been having summer temperatures since early May, the whole month has been sunny with barely any rain, temps around 20-25C max, 10-12C during the coldest in the night, stuff I've only seen in June or July previously.

It's pretty insane to be getting such early summer here, we completely skipped spring.

Weather is not the climate but I think having a constant whole month of +8C to +10C deviation from the mean is scary.
What kind of geoengineering solution do you have in mind?
The other angle is war. Modern war is not necessarily bombing campaigns (even if we have 2 going on now). It's control of other countries citizens, even if through their own words.

For example if representational content of people falling in love with Osama Bin Laden is a total of 3 hours of content, and there are a billion hours of guitar playing good ole American BBQ content, TikTok can show the 3 Bid Laden hours to most people and 0.0000005% of the American BBQ content.

War through means we haven't figured out yet.

Salesforce is a generic application platform today, and this is how see it.

All colors of a certain set are 'greens', but no particular sizes are 'bigs'. Is the Earth big? Yes, relative to us. No, relative to the sun. "Big" isn't describing size directly the way 'green' describes color. "Big" is describing the relationship between an object's size and some other size.

For example, if an employee came to him and asked for 2 weeks of pay advance due to some emergency, could he grant it unilaterally? Obviously it's different since there's a conflict of interest when he's doing it for himself, but it's still a relevant data point. Check your bylaws to see if this sort of thing is spelled out.
Ask HN: How did RedHat Linux get it's first users?
I'm helping a friend with their distribution strategy for a product similar to Redhat Linux and we were wondering how they got their first users/customers.

I have used a custom domain for longer than a decade. I've so rarely had an issue with deliverability that I can't recall a specific instance of it right now. Just set up all the required dark magick like SPF and DMARC and use a quality backend provider.

I've used multiple backend providers for it. FastMail for the majority of the time, though I switched off about 2 years ago. It worked great and I recommend it.

Before that I used Google Apps (or whatever they call it now). I would not recommend using a custom domain with Google Apps. They routinely block you from using things that regular Gmail accounts can use, and I don't trust Google not to discontinue any given service.

I briefly tried running it myself, and it wasn't worth the pain.
> In my view this is symptomatic of a more fundamental issue - global asset price inflation driven by a broken financial system (i.e. a system being artificially pumped up with cheap credit).

I've been crowing on this since the 2008 crash. The cycle is this:

1. A person has a job, but can't afford things

2. They get credit to buy the things they want, in lieu of demanding better pay

3. Everyone does this, so demand goes up and prices go up

4. The value of their dollar goes down

5. Go to 1.

Consumer credit has _broken_ money. Broken it. We've seen this in housing prices and student loans, and now that we have online checkout buttons that say "you can have this for $17/mo!", we're starting to see it in stock-and-trade consumer goods even more now.

We have to -- have to -- eliminate consumer credit if we ever want to give people a fair shake at maintaining the value of their money and purchasing things. Otherwise, prices will be determined by people who are dumbest with their money.
