That would work against them because you exclude the segments served up the least, and those modified versions would only be served up once. That approach could work better for YouTube if you did it to the segments of the actual video rather than the ads. But then you could get into things like audio fingerprinting of the segments - only show fingerprints that were also shown to YouTube Premium members. I'm no expert at this stuff, but people who build blockers will brainstorm every time they have to sit through a YouTube ad.
I want to say something and I promise I say it not as a dig on you... as someone who's followed you for more than 10 years, I am fascinated that despite the many, many changes and revisions in your belief systems over the years, something that never changes is the certainty and conviction and confidence in your tone.

Devil's advocate: that was an intentional design choice to incite even more user hate against Android users and build Apple cult mentality. Users will subconsciously assign the blame for their frustration of figuring out who the Android user is, to the Android user, rather than to Apple who is the real culprit.
The original point was about the evils of traditional religious societies and brain washing. Religion is a convenient way to kill people, and a way to brain wash the masses. Of course it is both easier and harder than the meme religion is bad because of its apparent need of traditional catharsism through burning people. You seem to agree with this so what are we discussing?

Way more than that: two professional achievements, and innumerable personal achievements of all the people she reached and helped, many of whom have posted here, but also so many more. And not just helping trans people live, but helping cis people understand.

Here's an important point that Lynn makes in her retrospective, about how LGBTQ diversity benefits everyone, especially outstanding women:

https://ai.eecs.umich.edu/people/conway/Retrospective6.html

>Not only that, but many companies are now sensitive to the fact that locations known to be "GLBT friendly", such as Austin, TX and the Research Triangle, NC are able to attract outstanding employees (especially outstanding women employees) who are not GLB or T, but who want to work in an environment that is welcoming of diversity. More and more bright young people are recognizing that conformist environments that are not welcoming of diversity may not be welcoming of new ideas either, and do not want to work at such places.

>[Note: This concept has gotten a lot of attention recently in high-tech circles, especially due to the work of Richard Florida, founder and director of the Software Industry Center at Pittsburgh's Carnegie Mellon University. Florida is Professor of Regional Economic Development at CMU, and is a pioneering cartographer of talent. The January 2001 issue of the on-Line magazine Fast Company described Florida's work, including the significance of the so-called "Gay Index" in an article entitled Where Are You on the Talent Map (https://web.archive.org/web/20010331103840/https://www.fastc...).

There's a difference between memorizing meanings of words (addition is same as counting this and then the other thing, "3" means three things) and memorizing methods (table of single digit addition/multiplication to do them faster in your head). You were arguing the second, I'm a counterexample. I agree about the first, everyone learns language by memorization (some rote, some by use), but language is not math.

Actually, speech-to-text benefits massively from a good language model. It's impossible to do speech to text if you don't understand the language. The better you understand the language and the context of what is being said, the better you will be at speech-to-text. So it's no surprise whatsoever to anyone that the best-in-class language model would have the best in class speech-to-text.

I think a lot of people underestimate how disconnected simple sound patterns are from human speech. It's hard if not impossible to even recognize word boundaries on a phonogram of regular human speech, even for highly eloquent speakers in formal settings. And many sounds are entirely ambiguous, people rarely understand the exact phonemes they use in practice. For example, most native English speakers pronounce the "peech" part of "speech" more like "beach" than like "peach", if you look at a phonogram [0]. Phonetics is really complicated, and varies far more between languages than people tend to assume.

I'm no fan of Salesforce.

Any HN submission with the word "modern" in the title should be shit-canned.
Because Salesforce is already tightly integrated into many companies workflows, and already has incredible mindshare? And for the majority of conpanies, those limitations are just nuisances, not dealbreakers?
Why? It is possible to believe selectively and even hold contradicting beliefs.
A small native image will be smaller than a jlinked JDK+JARs, but it doesn't take long for the curve to cross and the native image to become bigger. ProGuard doesn't fundamentally change that.

The native code produced by native image compresses very well indeed. UPX makes the binaries much smaller. But then you're hurting startup time, so it's not a good trade.

The best way would be to heavily compress downloads, then keep the programs uncompressed on disk. Unfortunately most download / update systems don't support modern codecs, so you're very limited in how much you can reduce download times. Also codecs like LZMA often result in much slower decompression, so on fast internet connections it can actually be better to use less compression rather than more. Really modern codecs like Brotli or zstd are much better, but browsers don't have good support for downloads.

None of this is especially hard to fix but it's a quiet area of development. I think it'll need a bit of a paradigm shift to become a more popular way to do things on the desktop/cli space.
Librem 5 will get lifetime updates, because it runs mainline Linux without proprietary drivers.
Ok but this is also going to mean people are going to keep long lived forks, like Android, that do support binary drivers.
There’s hardware dependencies for some of the ‘missing’ features and if the hardware’s not there then there’s not a lot the OS can do to support it

> This is why I advise everyone that you must early exercise (exercise your option as soon as you start with the company) if you're going to join a startup.

That's terrible advice, if you present it in an absolutist, blanket way like that. I do wish I early-exercised at my last startup, since I had a nasty AMT bill when I finally did exercise, and I could have had better tax treatment under the small business qualified stock rules when I finally sold. But: a) early exercising my initial grants would have cost me $40k, which would have eaten into my savings to a degree I wasn't comfortable with at the time, and b) I early exercised at two previous startups, which failed, and that ended up being money flushed down the drain to the tune of around $9k.

Sometimes people want to wait a bit to get a better idea of the company's prospects before investing their own money into it. Maybe they want to hold off until the company has revenue, or hits/maintains a particular revenue or growth metric. Sure, if you're a super early employee and have 5-cent options, maybe you'll feel comfortable gambling that money away (but maybe you won't be!). Yes, there will likely be a tax penalty for waiting, but that can be a reasonable and sound financial decision.

I was (fortunately) a few years too young to get mired in the original '00s dot-com bust, but I know several people who were encouraged/pressured to take out loans in order to (early) exercise their startup stock options, and ended up with worthless or underwater stock, but still had to repay those loans. It would have to be a pretty exceptional situation for me to recommend anyone take that route.

(I do agree that a startup not allowing you to early exercise is a red flag, though.)
How is that relevant? Text messages have historically (and technically) been separated from standalone chat applications, so it makes perfect sense that Google Chat is separate from Messages.

On the contrary, merging the two is a "bad guy" move since it causes vendor lock-in (case in point, Apple).
Hey, just seeing this thread now. Agreed!
We've started a year ago and have done probably just 10% of what is needed to really get to Salesforce.
We need (1) a flexible data model, (2) a flexible layout, (3) code execution.
We've done (1) but have yet to do (2) and (3) this year.
Next step of the plan is to let people build and share apps that leverage those 3 blocks, that's where open source will really shine!

Yes, deterrence does require both sufficient certainty and severity of punishment. But, those can pull against each other and it seems quite likely that universities and individual academics would stonewall if cooperation could lead to a colleague being imprisoned for years.

A more fitting punishment is firing and blacklisting from future research posts.
This comment, with the last sentence of it, deserves to be encased and shown in museums as the archetypical HN comment.
The lack of an iOS setting to deny specific apps network access is absurd. It doesn't feel like much of a privacy-focused platform when every day in my network logs I see hundreds of attempted connections from 'offline' iOS apps.
> That 1) is full of holes. It is 2024, only 2 years later, and Ukraine is awash with NATO gear and as mentioned the official position of the US State Department is saying they're going to be part of NATO. They were clearly on the verge of integrating with NATO if not already doing so and close to the point where Russia was out of options. If the Russian military had waited any longer there wouldn't have been anything they could do and realistically they made a massive error not invading back in 2014 when their losses would have been much smaller. To see "nowhere near joining" we can look at somewhere like Georgia. That is a country that is nowhere near joining NATO. Russia invades in 2008. They got no support and today, nearly 20 years later, they are still not part of NATO (although they are getting there). The invasion was over and done in 16 days; night and day compared to what is happening in Ukraine.

As the other poster mentioned, Ukraine and Georgia were both denied Membership Action Plans at the 2008 NATO Bucharest summit, meaning they weren't even on the first rung of the process to join NATO. In 2021 NATO made some positive noises but still refused to offer Ukraine a MAP, even though Russian troops were massing on Ukraine's border.

It also takes years to be able to join after a MAP starts, and most importantly a MAP is not a treaty with any legal power: Joining one doesn't guarantee membership and the process can be stopped at any point. So even while Russian troops were massing on Ukraine's border and threatening to invade NATO wasn't ready to formally move closer to a Ukrainian accession beyond some encouraging words. Nearly all of the military support to Ukraine came after it was invaded, not before, and it was committed because NATO quite understandably reasoned that if Russia was willing to invade Ukraine without legal justification or provocation it would not stop there, but would try to go for Moldova and other countries next, significantly changing the strategic picture of Europe for generations. Supporting Ukraine is a defensive action.

The idea that Ukraine joining NATO would've meant US 'missile banks along the Russian border' is ridiculous, given that none of the other NATO members that border or are near Russia received US missile banks. As I said, NATO was very careful to limit both the quantity and type of equipment that it would deploy in new members, restricting them to purely defensive measures such as the NATO air patrols over the Baltics.

Putin has also quite clearly stated on numerous occasions that he considers Ukraine statehood a myth and that it's really a breakaway province of Russia.[0]

Finally, even if Ukraine was about to join NATO, that gives Russia no right to invade it. I don't understand why you seem to believe that it would.

CAPS: Cirrus Airframe Parachute System. Realistically it's not practical to retro-fit this technology, so you would almost invariably buy a plane with it.

Cirrus also solves the other problem that's of growing importance in the US with increasingly elderly private pilots - what if your plane is fine but the pilot is incapacitated (e.g. stroke)? Emergency autoland means the plane itself is capable of determining a suitable landing site, navigating there, broadcasting its intentions to other aircraft and landing, then switching itself off, meaning the passengers (and possibly the pilot depending on what exactly was wrong) survive the incident.

Our local kindergarten is in a building from the 14th century, but this is really nothing special in Europe. Apart from the stones of the outer walls, the cellar and the truss, there is probably nothing original from the 14th century in this building. It has been renovated probably every 100 years at least.

Here is a typical 14th century house from the area where I grew up: https://www.tuebingen.de/i/fullscreen/1440/Bilder/stiefelhof... It is really just a normal apartment building and also doesn't look any different than neighboring houses built 300 years later.

> But where are you going to find a startup that pays market rate? Never seen one.

I guess you're looking in the wrong places. Over the past 13 years, I've worked for five startups (both full-time and contract) that paid market rate (two paid a fair bit above, even). In my professional and social circles, this has been pretty common. Certainly some have worked below market rate for some companies, but that seems to be the exception, not the rule.

> But at an established company you are also making money on RSUs, often more than your salary

That's definitely not been my experience. At established companies, the RSUs are usually a nice quarterly bonus, in the wide range of 10-50% of base (annualized). Certainly there are some where the RSUs can end up being several multiples of base (I've worked at one like that, though my equity comp level was not common, and was mainly a consequence of my long tenure there from when they were small), but I don't think it's that common. A lot of people seem to assert that you can easily get that at a FAANG, but that doesn't seem to be true. Some people can, but not the median employee.

Also consider that a lot of the stories of high equity comp come from people talking about the FAANGs. Those companies were founded 20-25+ years ago, and matured into established companies 10-15+ years ago; the "rules" have changed quite a bit since then.
the only silver lining here is that rcs can be used by regulators (say, in the eu) to allow for interoperability across platforms.
Are you a child? From what I've heard, this is an extremely effective marketing strategy among children; kids get bullied and ostracized if they don't have an iDevice (in the US).

That's my main frustration every day too. The vision for what we're building is very clear but it takes time to build it right. We'll get there :).

Is there some other “arbitrary entities with arbitrary fields” builder webapp like this that isn’t Drupal?

I have a number of simple database apps/sites I want to build that don’t warrant dedicated CRUD apps.
Iow, we have a backdoor, and by backdoor I mean a whole back wall missing, but only certified entities are allowed to [ab]use it and it’s better to keep it all under the rug and pretend all ok.

You can’t harden humanity against this exploit without pointing it out and making a few examples. Someone will make an “unsafe” but useful model eventually and this safety mannequin will flop with a bang, cause it’s similar to avoiding sex and drugs conversations with kids.

It’s nice that companies think about it at all. But the best thing they will ever do is to cover their own ass while keeping everyone naked before the storm.

The history of covering is also ridden with exploits, see e.g. google’s recent model which cannot draw situations without rainbow-coloring people. For some reason, this isn’t considered as cultural/political hijacking or exploitation, despite the fact that the problem is purely domestic to the model’s origin.

> I think the first ones are rather stupid, but the latter ones get more and more important to actually have. Especially the very last one (opinion shifting/election interference) is something where the existence of these models can have a very real, negative effect on the world (affecting you even if you yourself never come into contact with any of the models or its outputs, since you'll have to deal with the puppet government elected due to it), and I appreciate the companies building and running the models doing something about it.

That genie is very much out of the bottle. There are already models good enough to build fake social media profiles and convincingly post in support of any opinion. The "make the technology incapable of being used by bad actors" ship has sailed, and I would argue was never realistic. We need to improve public messaging around anonymous and pseudonymous only communication. Make it absolutely clear that what you read on the internet from someone you've not personally met and exchanged contact information with is more likely to be a bot than not, and no, you can't tell just by chatting with them, not even voice chatting. The computers are convincingly human and we need to alter our culture to reflect that fact of life, not reactively ban computers.
