The fact that some people payoff early factors into the market value of mortgage debt, and therefore the interest rate that is offered. So if it were easier to transfer the debt when moving, the risk profile would be different, and the rate you got in the first place would be different.

How are those guys not treated as some hostile foreign power and have half their embassy staff expelled is beyond me.
I disagree, the fact is that is not today. It isn't tomorrow, it isn't this week, or even next week.

This is a feature that is still in preview.

I fully agree that the feature is poorly conceived and we need a response. But "radio silent" is severe over-exaggeration for a feature that the general population does not have access too.

If we don't get a response by mid next week, even a simple "we are delaying the release and will have more information soon", than I would agree.

But this is not an actively exploited thing running on un-expecting users.
If you’re good to your future self you’re also good to them.
I've repeatedly used a certain words in what I wrote, since it has incredible meaning in the manufacturing and engineering world, which is the context we're seeking within. It's a word that determines the feasibility of a design in mass production, and a metric for if an engineer is competent or not: determinism. That is the goal of a good design.

> It only stays the same if you have the worst luck.

And, you will get that "worst luck" thousands of times in production, so you must accommodate it. Worst off, as others have said, the distributions are not normal. Most of the << 5% devices are removed from the population, and sold at a premium. There's a good chance your components will be close to +5% or -5%

> Yes you can. I can say a die roll should...

No you cannot. Not in the context we're discussing. If you make an intentional decision to rely on luck, you're intentionally deciding to burn some money by scrapping a certain percentage of your product. Which is why nobody makes that decision. It would be ridiculous because you know the worst case, so you can accommodate it in your design. You don't build something within the failure point (population statistics). You don't build something at the failure point (tolerance), you make the result of the tolerance negligible in your design.

> Sounds like they calculated the probabilities incorrectly.

Or, you could look at it as being a poorly engineered system that couldn't accommodate the components they selected, where changing the values of some same-priced periphery components would have eliminated it completed.

Relying on luck for a device to operate is almost never a compromise made. If that is a concern, then there's IQC or early testing to filter out those parts/modules, to make sure the final device is working with a known tolerance that the design was intentionally made around.

Your perspective is very foreign to the engineering/manufacturing world, where determinism is the goal, since non-determinism is so expensive.

It will be possible, but enabled by default. And given how a lot of other features in Windows 10 and 11 have magically re-enabled themselves after updates it's likely the same will happen with this.
I'm not making an argument, I have no "position" that I'm advancing.

I've seen the headlines, I was asking for clarification on what made those different. I do think "storm preparedness" is not a category that should be excluded from consideration given their occurrence is also systemic (and may increase due to climate change), but I'm also open to how these outages differ from more systemic outages. The difference that makes sense to me is that federal regulations - the topic at play here - wouldn't have impacted these situations at all. Makes sense.
Rocket Lab mentions “human spaceflight” on the Neutron page, that’s the only mention I’ve seen of it. I haven’t seen any plans for a spacecraft for carrying humans or how they might handle re-entry.

Postgres’ UUID type is 16 bytes. MySQL can store them as BINARY(16) once encoded. Conversely, a BIGINT for either is 8 bytes. Not sure about SQL Server or Oracle.

> You don't pick UUIDs blindly, but on balance, they solve a lot more problems than they cause.

IME, this is precisely the problem – devs choose them blindly, because then you don’t have to think about proper modeling, you can arbitrarily create a key in your app and be nearly guaranteed of its uniqueness, etc.
Go back and see how many of those games were running Cider though. The switch to kill 32-bit games killed more games than the deprecation of OpenGL did. The number of games that targeted OpenGL was ALSO shockingly low.

This is something that OSS fans do not want to reconcile: Open source graphics APIs have LONG lost out to proprietary graphics APIs in gaming. OpenGL had a very small base in games, Vulkan is even smaller.

and again, you went exactly back to where I knew you would and pre-empted it because it's the obvious playbook of answers. Vulkan didn't fix gaming on Linux. Proton did. And again, you ignore the key part of the sentence: NATIVE

Linux has fewer *native* AAA games than macOS. Vulkan has not solved that.

The SteamDeck is a product targeted at gamers that provided a new value proposition: AAA gaming on the go. Which further reinforces my point that API is irrelevant to the discussion, its about demographic. Apple has a strong gaming demographic on the mobile side (with metal no less).

The steam deck didn't introduce new Vulkan/Proton capabilities. Why was Linux gaming stagnant before it? Doesn't that exactly reinforce that its the form factor proposition that made it skyrocket?

Yeah there’s some nuance to the zero days thing. If it’s a day I’ve already set aside that’s fine, but I’ve found myself unable to decide in the moment “not feeling it today, this will be a zero day”, and be okay with that emotionally. Unless I’ve shipped a massive feature recently or something, then it’s okay. Motivation is a mess, is what I’m getting at :)

Haha I share in your frustration with the crickets launch, anything I post here that I actually care about people seeing, gets shuttled off to the shadow realm, then stuff like this that’s just musing tends to hit the front page.

The problem is that we've already solved these issues many times over on other sites that are decades old. HN simply refuses to implement 21st-century forum enhancements.

Brigaded reports? 4chan solved it by adding a mandatory enum to reports to specify what the report is reporting for. Identifying bad reports and banning users as a result becomes trivial.

Flooding with stories about a particular topic? That's what stickies are for and they work particularly well so that mods can auto-delete any non-sticky stories pertaining to the MOT.

My point is not that humans have a faster training speed but that humans must be doing something fundamentally different from LLMs. You could build Altman's $7 trillion dollar GPU cluster and use the majority of the world's energy to feed it and you'd still hit the same limitations if you're just running an LLM on it, even a very sophisticated LLM. This is Yann LeCun's position as well.

Your comment puts it very succinctly.

They don't care about your gaming experience on Mac. They care about money.

I wish they weren't so short sighted here. They can't see through the trees that maybe they won't make money selling games through the app store, but they would make money selling more Macs.
Once upon a time people thought hypermedia solved some problem of publishing but didn't realize IP was the real hurdle (until OpenAI etc "solved" that by embedding the novels in NLP token weights).
It's an illegal operation. Under that sort of restriction, any building occupied would either need to be occupied by the registered owner or have a registered lease. If those aren't found, the people are evicted. The point is to ensure that everyone knows that you need to have a registered document to stay somewhere so nobody takes those deals. Then on the landlord side, you need to enforce substantial fines for any that have offered unofficial leases and surveillance for property owners that have repeat offenses - both to protect the owner from repeated squating and also to catch any owner bypassing the law.
I’ve often pondered the same. Seems like Israel gets a lot of special treatment from the US.
> This assumes that Microsofts future IS windows.

That pretty much leaves the world with a defunct operating system running om 80% of all desktop and laptops. I'm not suggesting that you're wrong, in fact I'd agree that Windows has taken a backseat at Microsoft, but that's pretty scary.

Given the new Exchange Server licensing, I think it's pretty safe to assume that Microsoft would like to exit the on-prem software business at the earliest convenient time. I just question if the world is ready for that, or that's even what we want.
Been a Linux user on and off, but mainly used Windows for gaming. Linux has gotten good enough, especially Ubuntu and POP OS, its just a breeze to use.
My wife lived in Israel on and off for years, I got to visit her for awhile during her dissertation work in the West Bank. Only a few blocks of Tel Aviv deserve the "modern Middle Eastern country" label in my mind. And even then it wasn't nearly as impressive as I thought. Haifa is a lovely town though :)
JIDF turned out to be one guy. That was a sideshow.

This article is from Hareetz, which is a major newspaper in Israel.

There's a huge, organized Israel lobby aimed at the US. It's no secret. There's AIPAC, the American-Israel Political Action Committee. "Lobbying for Pro-Israel Policies", it says on their web site. There are official organizations in the government of Israel which do "public diplomacy".[1]

General lack of countries with something even vaguely resembling representative government in the Middle East.

Israel seems to only extend that sort of courtesy to a part of its citizenry, but when you remember that the "stable" countries in the region are all more-or-less absolute monarchies, it becomes obvious why the US is willing to at least work with Israel.

> Find a really good developer and let them use whatever they like.

Unfortunately, it's rare that a company can identify a really good developer.

Also, trusting a developer to choose the programming language for a project might not be a good idea right now, due to a pervasive industry culture of resume-driven-development and job-hopping. (Unless "really good developer" implies conscientious professionalism and alignment with business needs, and you're able to discern that.)

> A motivated, highly competent developer with an eye on the vision and skin in the game is the real "secret weapon"

Agreed. Though founders tend to think they deserve 20x+ the equity of even first hire engineers. To the point that even your typical early hire is probably best off freshening up their resume keywords (via resume-driven-development), and job-hopping as soon as a better compensation package comes along (maybe after vesting cliff). The founder already signaled that they think the developer is a commodity, not a secret weapon of the company. That's not motivation for the hire to be aligned with company success, much less beyond.

We just want to see how and what is defined as “false info”.

As any one who’s read snopes or fact check, while the fact checks often point out actually incorrect information, some of the time, they reframe the question/narrative, assume an inaccurate scope or apply semantics in a convenient way and label something that isn’t necessarily false as not false that reflects the bias of the author.

It leads to a basic mistrust of what’s “false info” and what is not “false info” and so some people have a hard time trusting these types of studies and the basic premise that platforms should ban “false info”.

I feel Twitter’s community notes function is actually pretty good at combatting false info without creating a centralized source with the above issues.
The fact that someone who needs to sell will pay back the principal is valuable to the bank. If a bank starts offering the option to get out of the loan at a lower price, it would impair the value of that loan. The only way to make this happen would be to include it in the original terms of the loan (where this feature would be worked into the market math that sets the interest rate) or if the government changes the rules (which would result in a hole in balance sheets as the value of the debt falls).
They really targeted the dumbest, most venal people in Congress. These particular people will fight for anyone but the people who elected them, so afraid to lose their jackpot.
The government should tell property owners that they are required to keep their property occupied otherwise the government should seize their property? This is an extremist view.

I disagree. If JavaScript was objectively limited, one of the browser makers would have just added something else and if it was good enough it would spread to others. Just like other browser technologies (for example, xmlHttpRequest). In a way, that's what happens with JavaScript right now. It continues to evolve.

Browsers did support multiple programming languages with the language attribute on the script tag. This is how Microsoft added VBScript to IE.
I still wouldn't use the term radio silent, but the expectation of a response has to be tied to the urgency of the problem.

Given this is pre-release, the urgency of the problem is basically non-existent at this point in time, except for the media that really wants to capitalize on this news. As we get closer to release, sure it becomes more urgent.

That doesn't mean it isn't important.

I don't think that investing in stocks is inherently a casino; if I buy a share of AAPL then there's not inherently a loser; if the price goes up then both Apple and I benefit from this. Even if it goes down, I still retain whatever value the stock is currently worth. Still, I used to make sweeping statements about finance that I don't agree with anymore; I used to say short selling was inherently evil for example, and I actually don't think that anymore [1].

I do think that option contracts might be evil and a glorified casino though. It feels like they kind of end up with a means of really really rich people to extract money out of poorer people without those people actually gaining anything back; since options are (as far as I'm aware) a binary "make money or lose your entire investment" situation, and each transaction requires a winner and a loser, it definitely is very analogous to a casino.

I do call myself an "investor", but 95% of all the money I have in the market is in low-risk ETFs (VOO and VTI), which I don't think is gambling.

Instead of a random string ID, you can devise a fixed secret key and expose the auto-incremented ID xor the fixed secret key as the public-facing ID. This saves you the separate index but still avoids the German tank problem. But it gives you a new problem, namely a secret that's hard or impossible to rotate.

It did. If you want to parade around how cool Cider is, it doesn't make much sense to venerate the update that killed it.

Imagine all the Steam Deck users that are pissed because they can't play Resident Evil 8 and Tomb Raider natively! They must be super upset, and envious of Apple's superior native version. Surely.

Hey, here's a magic question for you; which do you think will get supported longer, a DirectX title running on Proton or an Apple-native title running on Apple software. Do you trust Apple to keep supporting your game as long as Proton would keep supporting it?
