> It really seems like criticizing Sam is the new hot thing to do, with tons of people jumping on the bandwagon. Whether it's hiring a voice actor who sounds like ScarJo, having non-disparagement clauses in separation agreements (something basically all big companies and institutions tend to do), being associated with a crypto project (Worldcoin), "lying" to OpenAI board members, etc. No one is perfect, and when you are put under a microscope, just about anyone can look bad in the wrong light.

True, but it's hard to start something as big as OpenAI and not warrant a little scrutiny. At least, I think there is plenty of public interest here, in particular because of the chosen mission statement for the company.

> Ultimately, I ask myself, is my life better because Sam was born and did what he did? And the answer is 1,000 times "yes!" because the introduction of ChatGPT changed so much and enabled so much creation and learning for me personally.

Which is a very reasonable position, but is the fact that your life is better negate concerns that applications of ChatGPT may actually make other people's lives worse? And that the lack of transparency around conflicts of interest raises reasonable concerns about both judgement and the ability of the organization to deliver on its mission?
Now that is, in fact, a silly gotcha. It's a third abstraction, irrelevant to the topic of two dimensional navigation. It is abstracted away for both cartesian and global concepts, and nobody is realistically confused by its absence.
> It's pretty cool that your MSP handles the SD Card directly!

The MSP430 is actually the puppet master for an ICE40 FPGA that does the high-speed transfers (102 MHz) between image sensor -> SDRAM -> SD card.

Then they offered free enrollment in their credit protection services.

This is, in my view, the biggest bummer about (what I see as) Musk's descent into madness in the last few years.

It's absolutely true that this stuff is capital intensive, slow, and risky, and thus hard to get investment for. But Musk had solved that problem using showmanship and a series of successful (whether through genius or luck, it doesn't matter!) risky bets to back it up. So I think it just really is the case that because of Tesla / SpaceX / Starlink, that he could easily get however much funding he wants in private or public markets to take a giant risky bet on something like geothermal energy.

But instead he got bored of doing useful things and lost himself in petty social media drama. Tragic.
Sure, but there's always the question of how realistic your test is in terms of websites you choose, the way you use them, your hardware setup, etc. I think their "Chrome users’ field data ... is the authoritative source when it comes to real user experiences" is totally valid.

Trying to hand wave away a 10M stake in OpenAI taken when they were valued at <1Bn and then trying to weasel out by saying profit is capped. Why yes it is Paul, at 100x initially with the cap raising by 20% a year. And then trying to claim that the PPUs aren’t liquid despite regular liquidity events being the entire reason we know OpenAIs current valuation.

Didn’t think I’d see the founder of YC try the “I’m a moron who doesn’t understand how investments work” defense.

It might be a bit bad short term like with the boomer wave getting old and nobody being there to take care of them. But in the long term we'll get over that bump and it's way better for the planet. It won't support infinite growth.

> Partially, yes, explains no kids/somewhat divorce rates, but does not explain men not being sexually active, as every man (that's not asexual) wants to bone.

It's still their choice though. If they don't have a partner they can always just pay for it once in a while. I also do sometimes between relationships, no big deal.

> I disagree. Studies show that those that have more sexual partners are more likely to divorce [1]. Personally, and that's just personally, I could never have the love of my life fuck another man.

I understand, it's very personal. I like it myself. But I find it can have a stabilising effect because you can never cover all your partner's needs equally well. I don't think it's bad if relationships don't last anyway. I'm still best friends with most of my exes. It just moved into a different phase. I didn't get married anyway and I've never wanted kids.

I don't think you can blame porn for all that though. I think it's more of a symptom of the higher sexual freedom we have now, than a cause.

Then let's cut out fanciful stories of the planets and the birds and the bees and cut to the chase.

In the 8 years between its IPO and Elon Musk taking it private again, Twitter (now X) made a profit in only two, according to Wikipedia. Meanwhile according to Glassdoor it has a median total comp for a Twitter Software Engineer in SF at $250k. But the median restaurant worker in SF makes about $40k according to Ziprecruiter. All of these people, Twitter engineers and regular restaurant workers, are generally competing for housing in the Bay Area. Tell me. Who's typically going to win those bids for housing, the Twitter engineer or the restaurant worker?
It’s the validation of that info that is KYC
Not perfect, but “crash-only” or at least as robust as such. Probably involving transactions of some sort. It is indeed a tall order, but if you’re sending kill signals to threads from the outside, that’s the reality you’re in. Find another abort mechanism if that’s too big an ask (and in most cases it justifiably is, that's why Java doesn't even allow it anymore)
> The free software world wasn't meant to be like this, where you have to fight the OS/distro to get things to work the way you want.

I think the actual history says something different. The free software world is created by people who think the source code is the ultimate end, however basic it is. Actually combined with the common Unix convention of implementing the most basic and barebones piece of software to maximize text based interaction, I think it is fundamentally against democratizing computers for regular people.

It doesn't have to be this way but many founders thought and still think that barely useful but libre software is better.
I don't think TBMs (tunnel boring machines) have the same problems as mechanical deep-well drills. For instance, you can replace worn components of a TBM without extracting the entire mechanism from 100s of meters of earth. Whereas vaporizing a 10-meter wide tunnel would require an insane amount of energy. Plus you'd have to deal with the slag trying to flow back toward your equipment.
> English has grossly grouped together Chinese as one unified language, when in actuality it is not.

English? Do you mean the UK? US?

My perception was that China said Chinese was one language and that most westerners agreed. Is this not the case?

In such a system each component still needs to be interruptible. If you're waiting on a blocking operation like disk or network I/O, the caller might give up but the request will still hang around until completion at which point it gets thrown out.

In the case of a blocked process, you may be able to force kill it at a system level but then you risk uncleaned up state (leaked connections/resources)

For instance, this is the default behavior with Postgres (queries complete even if the connection is closed)

I hugely prefer buying in person but there is generally a lot less variety, particularly in the UK. I feel that Americans usually have better "big box" stores from what I read online.

For example if I want a specific tool it's not that uncommon that Screwfix doesn't have it in stock same day, and they are basically a warehouse with a checkout at the front.

> IMO, the solution is apprenticeships/probationary offers

Most companies would love this, especially startups. The problem is that desirable candidates do not love this arrangement - there's an opportunity cost and risk for the candidate here and if you're in demand you can get a solid offer from a company who isn't trying to hedge.

It adds complexity, especially for new users and even more for corporations. There's maintenance burden as different DEs fall out of favor, things become incompatible, and you have to migrate. Even sticking to one Linux distro, the default DE can change across versions. If you want to troubleshoot online, you can't Google "how to do X in GNU/Linux," you have to specify the DE and version too. Vs with Mac or Windows it's quite clear what you're using and how you get help for it.

Most people don't even think that far though, they just want a name brand they can trust and understand. So the most popular desktop Linux is probably ChromeOS.
Just as one example, given that Elon has blatantly lied about capabilities of Tesla to deliver promises. I think it’s adequately clear to everyone at this point that nobody cares.
It's from the forward to Grassmann's 1962 Ausdehnungslehre[1]:

I run a plain http server on the LAN that hosts a copy of the public part of the CA cert. Download it from there and add it to your trusted CAs.
Perhaps the HN headline doesn't match the article, but the instructions say:

> Imagine you begin a journey in Seattle WA, facing exactly due east. Then start traveling forward, in a straight line along the Earth’s surface.

where there isn't any wording saying "go east in a straight line".
economists, educate me please.

people buy shares, the company sells shares, pay the ceo and skeleton staff, and then what? how anyone make money on that besides pump and dump?
Why?

Specifically, what I mean is, if you have house guests that care enough about your LAN that they actually want to access any of the services you have running on it – it shouldn't be difficult to explain to them why and how to trust your CA.

The main difficulty IME is getting any of your guests to care about your LAN services in the first place.
> Huh? The last 25 years completely turned the conduct of war on its head.

When people say "war is the mother of all invention" they don't just mean military invention, they mean all invention.

WW2 coincided with major advances in control theory, cryptography, penicillin, plastics, synthetic fuels, computing, rocketry, radionavigation, jet engines and so on - advances with major non-military relevance to this day.

In comparison, what's the equivalent technology to come out of Iraq? The 2005 Darpa Grand Challenge that might lead to self-driving cars any decade now, and that never saw any use in Iraq? Drone tech that's 95% developed in China, who weren't even involved in the war?

The burn out is because your working on an single platform and refusing to even attempt for another project, or OS for this matter. That's how I find it.

I can actually reproduce this right now in Chromium on arm64 Linux. Chromium 125.0.6422.76, no error messages in the developer console when this happens. Still, interesting that (I think?) all these reports have been from Chrome/ium on arm64 platforms... I wonder if we're triggering some architecture-specific browser bug?
Best metaphor I've heard is that personal data should be treated like toxic waste. If you're a company that works with it, it should only be because you have to, not because you want to. And then, you want to keep as little of it around as possible. You definitely don't want to leak it, because then the EPA will come down on you like a ton of bricks. All of your processes should be geared toward minimizing or eliminating exposure to it whenever possible.

Unfortunately, companies are incentivized to treat personal data like something to be aggressively gathered and hoarded instead... but not necessarily like something to be guarded against leakage.
newbie take: there is one Chinese language

intermediate take: there are many Chinese languages

expert take: there is one Chinese language

There are also plenty of languages in China that are not Chinese or a dialect of Chinese. Tibetan and Mongolian (and their many dialects) are obviously not Chinese. Chinese written language is used as a phonetic script for some minority languages (although many are based on uighur script is used a lot also, Uighur itself uses arabic).
Chinese has fewer inflections than English, but does have 儿 as a nominalizer (and one which is quite productive in northern dialects)
I've interviewed at various "prestigious" companies widely considered to be rigorous in their interviewing, and no one has ever asked me to solve 2 leetcode hards in 45 minutes. I think I might have gotten one leetcode hard question ever. Most companies seem to ask relatively straightforward questions, although they do sometimes expect you to solve them quite quickly.

Doing a bunch of leetcode problems (something like 20-30 hours over a few weeks) certainly made it easier to answer questions quickly, largely by becoming more fluent in the language and libraries.
