The usual design for these things have very low surface speeds, so you're not likely to go off into the deep even if it fails, as you're going to be pretty close to your prior combined orbit even without thrust, and the Δv needed to get back will be tiny.

But also, the forces are never more than the apparent gravity times the mass, so when someone does finally end up experiencing this, it will be part of a larger pattern of bad maintenance and/or engineering that likely has other things going wrong at the same time.

With the right tooling, this is a non-issue. Compare with Scala, a language that also allows you to omit return types (except for recursive functions).

IntelliJ (the best Scala IDE) now has something called X-Ray mode, see the videos here: https://blog.jetbrains.com/scala/2023/12/21/the-x-ray-mode/

Alternatively, it also allows you to configure it to always show the inferred types on functions.

Before, I annotated things a lot, but after having this I've never felt the need to annotate functions ever again. I still do it for certain things though but for other reasons than readability (e.g. for type-driven development).
Yeah, that one's all over the place but has some fun, bright spots that are really interesting.

Huh interesting, I missed that. You’re right (actually I see even 25.5%).
There is a difference - the surface area where you interact with that certain company. As an Apple device owner, your interaction with Apple and it's various services (known; and unknown to you - e.g. watching a certain video on YouTube in Safari) compared to that of Agile Bits (or BitWarden for that matter, which I prefer), where the service is exactly one, is much much bigger. Hence making your chance to trip so much more in case of Apple and Google.
There's several of them. The most annoying for me was getting intermittent notifications to sign in to iCloud.

> Build your system so that it can't be decrypted

Now you can't debug anything.

> Mullvad has been doing this with VPNs

Mullvad do not need to store any data at all. Infact any data that they store is a risk. Minimising the data stored minimises their risk. The only thing they need to store is keys.

Look, if you want to ask an AI service if this photo has a dog in, thats simple and requires no state other than the photo. If you want to ask it does it have my dog in, thats a whole 'nother kettle of fish. How do you communicate the descriptors that describe your dog? how do you generate them? on device? that'll drain your battery in a very short order.

No, I think that is pretty bad. I mean, it's awesome that a computer can do it, and the concept of tweaking the Poe story is fine - but I suspect that is a choice made by the prompt engineer. As for the lyrics, throwing in the ember after remember/December/ember is a tolerably cute rhyme, but "my heart was aching, young and breaking" etc. is just standard, and the tune is absolutely generic. There's nothing new or interesting here except the fact that it was done by AI!

That's an insinuation, not an accusation of anything specific at all. There are lots of reasons that in that particular year neonicotinoids were under-represented at the conference. The article basically presents one possible hand-wavy explanation as if it must be the explanation, and then offers no evidence of a link at all. Yes those companies sponsor the organizers of the conference, and yes the topic in question was under-represented relative to the article's expectations. No there is not necessarily a causal link between those statements.
Great. That was basically all we used of GenServers in the Elixir projects I worked on. I remember one or two handle_info but nearly all our GenServers were (in OO parlance) objects with methods to update their status, trigger actions and sometimes read the status.

100%. After seeing this comment, I'm shocked to learn that even in the US, apparently non-profits can issue stock (in a small subset of states anyway). What the hell is the point of owning a stock if not for profit? Just issue a donation if you want to contribute moreney to a charity. Seems very disingenuous.
Don't know if they use it (or if it would somehow weaken/break the privacy claims you cited), but Apple has an SDK called DeviceCheck[0].

Essentially, your server send a nonce which the client signs using a key pair derived from the Secure Enclave. The server can then verify the signature by an API provided by Apple's servers, and they respond whether it was signed by a Secure Enclave resident key or not.

I'm guessing this could be helpful to make it hard(er) to write a Python client.

An advance is "like" a loan because in both cases, the money is expected to be paid back by the person or group of people who receives it. There's lots of differences. Repayment terms. Exit clauses. Interest rates etc. But seems pedentic to say that the advances offered to musicians are not like loans they take so that they may have a claim on the future revenues of the sales produced by their work.

We're talking about Hacker News, not Instagram.

And yet Hacker News has an API and plenty of people use it, implying that Hacker News considers the use of its own API to be valid within the context of its "license" and by extension any application also using the API.

Feel free to lawyer up and sue, though, and let us know how it goes. I don't think it'll go as well as you seem to believe.
A bit of a dismissive comment.

However, there is a point here: F# offers the things that people are getting all excited about with Gleam (pragmatic functional programming in the ML school) and yet receives little hype.

Perhaps it need a Beam compiler target?

An entirely new set of new forms of life appearing from nowhere and without any known ancestor in a small line of the "evolutive script" would not be missed. This is the opposite that we observe in that age. Life evolving for the ice age, yes. A glaciation just would force the organisms to evolve or die. There is not need of any alien gardener to explain this.

lol. Carson is obviously aware of the criticisms he faces.

The best one is the "Duplicating (Or More!) Your APIs"

How is this a problem?

The backend would be broken down into layers. Data layer, business layer, etc.
For the website, you have a layer to fetch the data to return html.
For another thing (ie rest api) - you fetch the SAME data, return in json.

How is this more work, again?

NOTE - Yes, my comment is not aimed at Carson, but those that genuinely use it as an excuse to attack htmx.
Adult teeth are present from birth, located deep in the jaw. We imagine our adult teeth grow, but it's everything else that's growing, we grow out and around the adult teeth which were always there from the beginning.

Search for x-ray pictures of children's teeth if you want to see this. It's almost nightmare fuel, but remember it's natural, this is how things are supposed to work, and that chaotic jumble of teeth will sort itself out (if not, orthodontics).

This makes me skeptical that we can just grow teeth out of nothing.
There are not many van or wagon options left in the US anymore. It’s really just sedan, truck or SUV at this point. In Europe you have all kinds of vans and wagons for sale.
None of this is a surprise to me, but the specific framing of trying to build these things into the interview is really interesting. It's already something I wanted to write about a lot, but it hadn't occurred to me to put it specifically into the process.

Honestly, having mental health people writing some content doesn't sound like a bad idea at all. I'm sure they hear it all the time; work is one of the biggest stressors in most peoples' lives.

Because it distracts from the parts that many people don't like to talk about because it goes against their personal beliefs (such as religious conservatives being more connected with their communities and overall happier than everyone else)

It doesn't actually say there is no persistent storage, it says that the compute node will not store it for longer than the request. There's nothing to stop the data coming from a datastore outside of the "PCC" in another part of apple's infrastructure.
> benchmarksgame/

I suppose if you want to do some distributed mandelbrot in Erlang, you'd just use NIFs to use an actual systems language for compute.

> maybe because of the myth of compiled languages requiring more effort and interpreted languages being more productive to write in?

Erlang focuses it's ergonomics around distributed processing, dispatch, and communication. Some of that is really in the decisions around the language (e.g., fully functional, hot-swappable and remote dispatchable modules (using message passing), metaprogramming, pattern matching), the runtime (e.g., genserver, the supervisor, lightweight processes with isolated garbage collection), and the core libraries (e.g., ETS, http client/server), but also it's the ecosystem that has built around the Erlang because of its soft real-time flavor. If things like soft real-time, high process count, network dispatch, etc. aren't really interesting to you, and the language isn't your cup of tea, then you aren't the target market for Erlang and its ilk. But certainly it is useful and productive for a number of people/orgs who've made the leap to OTP based on actual business value (e.g., Discord and (historically) Whatsapp)
Ahhh well, I liked it.

> I thought maintainers can edit pull request? Why is that not used here?

The article says:

> That is however a clunky, annoying and time-consuming extra-step that not only requires that we (always) push code to other people’s branches, it also triggers a whole new round of CI jobs. This, only to get a purple blob instead of a red one. Not worth it.

> Not pulling someones PR also means he does not get any public attribution to it

I don't believe this is the case. Edited commits can keep the author (Author:, Co-Authored-By:).

> I'd say, don't use GitHub then

I'd say this would be throwing the baby with the bathwater.

(I'd also say amen to that though.)

> the maintainers are just too stubborn to implement them.

A gross mischaracterization of Daniel, from what I see. I was lucky to attend to his presentation at FOSDEM in February, he really seems to be a nice guy.
I stopped logging in into there since they forced 2FA on me because of an old contribution to an open source project. It's too much of a pain and I don't need to be logged in to look at the code of the modules or libraries I'm using or I could use. As collateral damage, I stopped opening issues on open source projects, that was maybe two or three issues per year. All my customers are on Bitbucket at the moment and it still works with username and password. If it would switch to 2FA, I'd have to comply.

> those requirements just get gamed. ... [J]ust tax fuel (or emissions etc), and consumers will institute their own personal fuel efficiency requirements.

That's not likely to succeed, because:

1. People — individuals and companies — try to game the tax system at least as much as they do pollution regulations, and probably much more so because tax obligations are largely self-reported with only sporadic auditing to catch cheaters and gamers.

2. Certain political elements are always trying to defund the tax auditors (e.g., the IRS). We might well ask why that is.

3. Politically, tax hikes are always harder to get through Congress — and to keep in force — than sensible standards for products and behaviors that voters can see are beneficial to them (e.g., pollution prohibitions).
I feel the same way, but it goes way beyond ads. It seems like there are far too many people out there that actively work to make the world a shittier place. Sure, it makes the corporation more money, but has an overall negative effect on society.

Something from previous discussions about the whole

"Rather than paying $50k up front for 8 x A100's, you can just rent some GPU's for $1.2k to train the whole thing in 4 days"

That feel off to me is that it completely ignores the compute time spent exploring new ideas, failing, tweaking the training data, etc.
The only thing the math tells you is that the server software gave you a correct key.

It does not tell you how it got that key. A compromised server would send you the key all the same.

You still have to trust in the security infrastructure. Trust that Apple is running the hardware it says it is, Trust that apple is running the software it says it is.

Security audits help build that trust, but it is not and never will be proof. A three-letter-agency of choice can still walk in and demand they change things without telling anyone. (And while that particular risk is irrelevant to most users, various countries are still opposed to the US having that power over such critical user data.)
Same, except on purpose and it’s still plugged in.
Does it need to be? When they can use their own SoC servers, they don't have buy hardware from other vendors or rent cloud compute capacity.

So it only needs to be so efficient that it will still cost less than those other options.
WWIV may be fought using mammoths and dinos? What a cool idea! /s
"I was charged $299"
It is a weak offer. You should show some really painful numbers because for those who are running a company, this is nothing. No difference between $70 and $300. You should put more focus on the value that your service will bring to the table. Sometimes legal advice that costs $1000 per hour is a reasonable thing because it will save you from potential penalties or a crime.
No one said they are M chips. These would be custom made for servers and AI inferencing. Also note their "ARM based SoC" has a GPU with 800 GB/sec bandwidth in the M2 Ultra.
As I have aged (almost 50 now) I have realised that greed will turn any good thing dark without vigilance, and then who watches the watchers. Eternal spring perpetually. A culture which prioritises individual profits over the commons will destroy anything not regulated.

As I have said before on this forum, we need a way to price in the whole lifecycle of manufacturing through to waste and punishments for behaviour like Purdue and the opioid crisis should be the loss of all wealth generated by such dark behaviour.

of course this is also unworkable, but I am not personally certain what is workable without a secular moral revolution.

For someone who's advocating a functional programming language, this is a weirdly terse "don't use this for performance reasons" take.
It seems like this is all compatible with the root cause being parental/family values of achievement rather than the school per se.

As a parent, I’m always super conscious that one is tempted to praise the achievement, but this is good summary of why that is a bad idea. Instead we try hard to praise the effort, especially when our kids fail. Not always easy!

Yes, but that IF was introduced by this subthread’s OP themselves. Statements like that make no sense if it’s possible and not applicable otherwise. And everyone seems to be ok with that on HN, regularly. Notice how inconvenient comments get simply ignored.

What current “AI” does is irrelevant in this context, but I think you’re overdramatizing on this tangent a little. Almost everyone knows that 2024 AI still hallucinates and you can’t take its output at face value. Those who don’t know may be still researching or just generally gullible/nonanalytic. There’s no problem here, taking our regular baseline into account. People believe yellow press and influencers everyday.
The only two questions I would have would be, how often are they "periodically rebooted" and what are the predefined metrics logged/reported.

We may have some insight into the second point when the code is published.
