> Why do you think someone who walks and bike everywhere should pay increased taxes to subsidise empty buses running around the place?

Because putting people on the bus who would otherwise park their cars where the bike lane is or the sidewalk, is a good deal for you!

Also because the people on the bus pay taxes for your bike lanes & sidewalks. (If only bikers paid for the bike lanes, your taxes would probably be much higher than what you pay to subsidize buses.)

Also because the majority of people don’t bike & walk everywhere.

Also because there are rain days.

Also because we’re all in this together.
I still do that today as I'm roughing things out, once I get it "close" then I'll split the min tables into tabs and go from there. Pretty sure I started using in Calcstar since I had the other xxxStar products.

No. A user owns each endpoint. Whatsapp provides a service to the owners of the endpoints.

Yes, Whatsapp is in a position to act unethically and steal information, but that does not make Whatsapp the owner of anything.
> Why do you think someone who walks and bike everywhere should pay increased taxes to subsidise empty buses running around the place?

Because the cost of living in a society is helping to drive that society forward, even though you personally aren't benefiting from every dollar spent. Would that same person balk at paying emergency services, even if they aren't the ones riding an ambulance or getting help from a cop?

But even more importantly, the whole issue of cost is misplaced, imo. It's all based on millage, which ends up meaning public transport costs less than $20/year to maintain. There's no reason I'm ever going to complain about $20/year to keep buses running, and I look very questioningly at people who do complain about it. It's so small, I feel like they're making proxy arguments, or don't understand how millage works.
how do you know this will work at all?
You might be misunderstanding (or I am). My reading of the situation currently is that the “real” breaches were due to actual production credentials leaking which were used to actually access production. Then some customers were not using MFA on their Snowflake account so credentials were all that were needed.

The demo accounts were associated with a Snowflake SE which was just one part of the attack.
This is what I hear the phrase "lifestyle business" used for, to distinguish between the immigrant family restaurant (real business that pays the bills of the people who own it) from the "twenty items each on their own display table with a spotlight" store (funded by spouse, trust fund, or money they got when they cashed out of their previous job).
I think these are good recommendations.

"Threat actors" in the vicinity include, say, people who have the Instagram on their phone. It can read SSIDs but can't put the networking hardware into promiscuous mode.

Regularly rebooting probably isn't worth the pain, but not all compromises are persistent / rootkits.

"degrowth" is one of those things you don't actually need to believe in, the world will do it for us if we don't do it first. I just want to minimize the collateral damage.

If folks refuse, so be it, I did my ethical duty in making sure they were well informed.
I can't help but think that if we give up on logic, that it is slippery slope. Who is every really ever 'correct'.

I think there is only missing variables. The logic changes based on adding new/updated premises.

Like others in this thread have mentioned, Phoenix actually does have water, that it is the Alfalfa agriculture business that is using 70% of the water (i'm taking their numbers).

So, if we add in this new information like "it is really the agriculture business", then the question that logic leads to is more "can we modify that business" or "does Alfalfa really needed to be grown in this area, can it be moved".

So the logic for the humans becomes more like

1. A lot of people want to live here because of the sunny weather.

2. The water supply is now over-extended

3. The main users of water is the Alfalfa industry, not the new humans moving to the area.

4. Given the humans are the government (democracy), and they choose to live here, can they work towards changing the industry in such a way to accommodate both?

Of course, farmers have rights too. And we get into government authority, who is the 'arbiter' in conflicts. Especially out west where different states might dam up rivers and starve downstream states, then it goes to Federal Gov. But what if we dam up water going to Mexico, then it is inter-Nation conflict, and then what the UN or war. And then we start to get to point about, how really, humans are going to fight over resources and the planet is doomed.
What if alien planets filter their population like this too? Jokers and vague ideaa get "berried" because people downvote anything they don't understand.

No, no, no, no. Not at all compared to the glory days of the industry CD boom.
That is a good point. I would also think that buyers must vote with their money. Stop buying cheaply made products as much as possible, when an alternative slightly-expensive yet well made things exist. Of course, easier said than done, especially when money is a constraint.
The EU is progressively turning into a Faschist dystopia.
And this is coming from the not elected council, not the elected parliament.
The EU in its very design is an autocracy, that wears the mask of democracy.
And right now it's acting as the puppet of the USA, supporting its world domination plans.
In the US it’s context dependent.

Most people do not want war, but we have the war regardless, it has been imposed on us. In such situation, people want to keep the war as far away as possible. Hence support of Ukraine.
I think this is only hard for poorly informed KRs. If something has risen to your top hypothesis for what's holding your Objective back, just look at the signal that made you honestly believe this. Customers keep telling you the product is painful to use? You can rely on the same communication channel to discover when it's fun and guardrail that it hasn't also lost utility. If teams deliver their KRs but don't move the Objective then the problem isn't with the KR delivery.
Sundays on HN are a weird thing. It’s the only day of the week when I see the nutty anti-car takes, de-growth takes, climate doomerism, etc. Monday through Saturday, tech news (mostly). Sunday, unhinged nutballism.
Given the amount of ad hoc surveillance in modern Apple OSes, I too find this irritating, as on desktop I refuse to allow my computer to connect to Apple for anything other than OS updates.

Same goes for using your Mac’s display on an AVP. I use third party software to do it instead.
Maybe I'm just getting old, but I don't think that apocalypse porn helps the situation. I don't feel a need to see that new Civil War movie.
If you properly handle not returning/using nulls in your checkstyle rules and don’t allow nulls to be deserialized anywhere (forcing the use of Optional), then you can pretty much eliminate NPE.

I can’t remember the last time I encountered one by using the proper compile time checks. It does need to be enforced organization-wide, and not partially with annotations, but if you can make that change then you can code in Java without the mental overhead of null.
Documents Just Got a Lot Smarter (Thanks to AI)
Folks, not everything is “late stage capitalism.” Furniture repair has been the domain of small businesses forever. And they are in crappy little out of the way places because that’s where real estate is cheap, and they don’t need foot traffic. Customers come find them when they need furniture repaired.

Furniture repair is also not a “lifestyle business.” That phrase is not a synonym for small business. Furniture repair is hard work and low margin. Customers are intermittent so it’s hard to take time off (because you risk losing a significant project).

A lifestyle business is a business that people set up who are trying to fund their preferred lifestyle. For example, a single person SaaS that creates monthly passive income, like half the people here on HN are trying to set up.

I worked for a lifestyle business: the owner was an entrepreneur with 2 successful exits and did not need to work. But he had set up a tech consultancy so he could work on a few interesting projects a year and funnel all his favorite expenses (new tech gadgets, cars, travel, etc) through a tax-advantaged business entity.

He picked his lifestyle and then built the business around that. Most small businesses are the other way around: the owner has to adapt their lifestyle to the business, in order to stay in business.
This equally applies to beds and mattresses and kitchens and probably a lot of other furniture-related stuff too.
I think that describes a considerable chunk of the Philosophy field.

The two talks about the Gil removal were great. Also pyscript is great though they had 3 talks for some reason and only one really explained it. I did not watch the keynotes, but I heard they were bad and not technical. The general friendliness was good, masks didn’t feel annoying to me as it was okay outside and when eating and it was easy to just go outside.
What about this is "nutballism"?

> Data wants to be pure, and code should be able to act on this freeform data independently, not architecturally chained to it.

If behaviors are decoupled from the data they operate on, you risk a procedural programming style lacking the benefits of encapsulation. This can increase the risk of data corruption and reduce data integrity...

There's not really anything uncommon about a programming language having its origins in academia, a university being Catholic, or a university being in Brazil (which is the world's 7th most populous country). So I also don't really get this.
I don't understand why people constantly find contempt and condescension in things that are not good fits.

I think emotionally non loaded interactions are possible here.

VCs are in the business of risky business. Their objective is to fund businesses that will grow very large or collapse very fast and where there is lots of uncertainty as to which and where money increases the likelihood of the former outcome. That's the thing they do. The mechanism that they typically use is a note that converts to equity when a certain raise condition is met either by the private or public market.

Someone who goes to them and offers equity in a profitable business that has no intention to attempt to rocketship or IPO is making a mistake. What exactly do you expect them to do here? Give you money in exchange for incredibly illiquid private stock that doesn't pay out? That sounds like a dumb deal. Only a moron would give you money on terms like that.

But that doesn't mean you can't get money. Small business financing is available from banks and the government. And you can do the typical thing of starting successful businesses and selling them off and climbing the ladder. Every day small businesses are sold for values from $1k to tens of millions. They're not valued the same as venture-backed startups because they don't have the same cone of possibility as them.

If you're going to a VC to fund a Ford dealership in Golden, CO you have to be an imbecile. Not because starting Ford dealerships is dumb, but because you're going to a basketball coach and asking him to teach you tennis.

Entrepreneurial people are rare. So when you go to this coach, and he sees you're athletic, he's more likely to say "Why not basketball?" and give you a hundred reasons you should play basketball. That doesn't mean tennis is a dumb sport. Or even that you wouldn't have a better chance with tennis. It means you went to a basketball coach and he wants you to play basketball because your success is also his.

For someone with this guy's reputation, he could easily run the business himself. And it's the same for geohot. He doesn't need venture funding to sell $1 million worth of AI at home devices. It's not contempt from the VC. He's found an athlete, and he knows how to coach basketball. So he wants the athlete to play basketball.
Checked exceptions themselves to me looks like an experiment which had no place in Java. I don't know language landscape in 1990, may be it looked like a good idea back then. But today: C++, JavaScript, Python, C# are few of the most popular languages which use unchecked exceptions.

May be one day Java will just retire this concept and make all exceptions unchecked. It'll be backwards-compatible change. Make `throws` clause cause deprecation warnings and that's about it.

"Let's learn this new modern tool and how I can utilise it to fulfill my goals, while avoiding its shortcomings and flaws" sounds like the epitome of hacker spirit and curiosity. "Let's discredit this new technology as glorified autocomplete, and pretend it doesn't exist" is the opposite.
There is in fact no "smart" way to compensate for this particular "bad side effect".

Either your communications are spied on to weed out unapproved material, or they're not. And there is no way to make the system architecture care about which material is allowed to be "unapproved".

The right answer here is just to accept that, beyond a certain point, further reducing the amount of circulating child porn requires unacceptable tradeoffs. Then stop whining and wishing for impossible technical solutions.
To anyone feeling anxious about the future after reading this article:

It’s far from a complete solution, but it works well enough that the future described in the article is much more a dark fantasy than a likely reality.

It sounded like the author is not trying to learn, say, how to run a business, but instead just proxies output of an unthinking tool. After the former, you come out with new knowledge and skill. After the latter, you come out none the wiser.

Not really, if the workings of such are well-understood (like in case of LLMs).

You think you are mounting a personal attack that would make me feel humiliated, but you need to check who would be ignorant after what I outlined in the beginning of my comment.

> "Deliver product X" most of the time depends on so much more than my or the teams performance. Maybe it is not even a priority anymore?

Don't you have an OKR tree? If it isn't just your teams responsibility then just put it at a higher level in the org, and then the individual teams will have OKRs saying they should contribute to such efforts.

If you have too rapid pace of individual features, then an OKR can be to reduce latency when other functions need help from you to increase collaboration among teams etc, if that is a bottleneck to delivering features.

If a team you depend on often respond "we don't have time helping you, wait a week!", then that team should get an OKR to reduce that time since those delays are costing you a lot. Such delays are easily measurable so becomes excellent OKRs.

Other good OKRs could be to reduce time to review code etc, to help speed up coding iterations and make job more fun, waiting for a response isn't fun. We typically got code reviews in much less than an hour, for smaller things often within minutes, that is much better than waiting a day on it.

Edit: If your managers isn't doing these things then they are just incompetent, such an org will be dysfunctional regardless what you do, the OKR just makes that dysfunction more visible but they would work like shit regardless. OKRs really do help managers fix such organizations, as you can see from my examples above, those would really help you deliver features to customers in time.
Scientists develop cure for diabetes, patient becomes medicine-free 3 months
Do you feel the same about using search engines to learn literally anything? What about youtube learning channels? What about the documentation? You know, hackers from the past could write amazing things in assembly using only an outdated book on a somewhat related subject (if any at all). We have invented internet to share knowledge as quickly as possible. ChatGPT is the next step.

What does a true Scotsman, sorry, hacker have to do? Go to a remote place and rediscover the entire human knowledge for 20 years?
When learning a new thing it’s very good for compiling knowledge from lots of sources and laying it out in a good format. As long as it’s easy to verify when it screws up.
What about the standard library? What about other libraries that you depend on? Can't those introduce NPEs?
“De-growth”, like communism, is perfectly logical until you start talking about implementation. Then it starts sounding like A Modest Proposal. Who has to sacrifice? Who isn’t allowed to build, or have kids, or use specific technology? I have this funny suspicion it would end up being poor people

"Defects occurring in the boot or test phase must be corrected before the build is "released" for stress testing"

Currently having issues with this at works. Teams are pressured by their PM to release at certain time, and breaking thr pipleline and sending back bad code creates you lots of enemies from top to bottom.

Sometimes you just know the project is doomed by looking at how the organisation handles failure.
The more abstract or nuanced something is, the less capable it seems to be unless you have a domain specific LLM trained on a corpus of quality data.

As a business owner with both applied experience and formal education on both the tech and the business sides, I wouldn’t trust random LLM-generated advice on business. There are nuances and a certain humanity in good business that an LLM is unlikely to pick up. And the Internet is filled with horrible advice and useless insight on running a business that it can’t distinguish from good advice and valuable insight.

My advice to anyone seriously considering a business is that a course or reading a good survey text on business will pay off in ways that ChatGPT can’t (yet?) give you.
Looking at the reporting, it does seem like the 68LC040 emulation at least worked (just slightly buggy), which is much better than the not-booting Linux of the same era. I should probably not be surprised to see NetBSD run on yet another thing ;-)

I wonder what has been ported to more hardware at this point: NetBSD or bare metal Doom.
Business ideas can be tested so this epistemic haze isn’t as much of an issue as you’re making it out to be especially when error rates are taken into consideration.

I have a friend who has business experience and has been getting verifiably helpful marketing advice from LLMs.

Sales are up. That’s all that matters for any set of instructions: does it lead to the expected end result.

These “do LLMs always hallucinate” questions are in the category of “do humans have a soul”. This is fine and dandy but the conversation doesn’t always need to go there as there is practical utility to discuss as well.
I've made peace with the fact that a portion of humanity is always convinced the world will end soon.

I guess it serves some evolutionary purpose, since it's so deeply ingrained.

We've done quite well with these people among us so far, despite them always, since the dawn of humanity, being wrong.
There is no objective proof “global society” will collapse by 2040 as the article claims.
> Exceptions are not extraordinary events, and it is certainly never appropriate to stop execution because some exception was raised: the program itself is supposed to, at the right level, specify what should happen when an exception is encountered.

Exceptions are being used for errors, and that's fine, I just don't consider them actual exceptions because, for example, you expect certain operations to be able to fail and you should handle that failure gracefully. In Rust errors are a separate concept that can be part of the return value, but in Java and C++ (that "different philosophy") errors are also just exceptions and you're expected to know which ones happen in the course of normal operation in order to handle them.

I know in JavaScript I sometimes use try/finally (without catch) for things that throw exceptions that are indeed fatal for my function, and then something higher up can catch errors thrown by that function if it's not quite fatal anymore. But it feels annoying to have to "handle exceptions" when I should be handling expected errors instead, and writing code that contains no unexpected errors. (TypeScript at least makes that easier than it otherwise would be for vanilla JavaScript.)
OOP failed to deliver its promise. So people just use what's reasonable: split state into one structure and handlers into another namespace. So-called anemic model. Which is the only sane way to build software.

In your experience do you also find that the average person making basic errors when breathing? Are they inefficient breathers? What are the long term consequences?
