If security is the only talking point ever, Apple is also lowering it's OS security by constantly adding new APIs (= more attack surface) or accepting third party apps in the first place.

It's a trade-off, and it can't be fine when it benefits Apple, but nonnegotiable when it benefits the others.
Add Joe Armstrong to that list for me.
We have a four year old application, 10+ developers, 2500+ PRs, and I don’t think a line of erlang has been written by us. Maybe there’s one or two instances of calling an Erlang function in Elixir, but we’re 94.7% Elixir, 3.7% HTML, 1.1% JS, and 0.5% Other in our monorepo, full application.
If you're going to make an assertion about the intent of an author's work, it seems like you should back that up with facts? Otherwise it's an "i think" or "it seems like" or "one could argue", isn't it?

You are correct.
“Karl Fundkvist, a design engineer at Goodyear who specializes in acoustics.

At low speeds, the engine and exhaust system are the primary sources of noise, but at about 35 mph tire noise comes into play. At freeway speeds, the tires account for about 60% of the noise a typical car makes, Fundkvist said.”

It's pretty easy to put the chocolate into a tempering machine, push a button, then walk away, too.
It's literally a difference of coordinates, not an intersection. Take all pairs of points in the (filled) polygons A and B, subtract their coordinates, and include the difference in A-B.

If there is an intersection, there is at least one pair that consists of the same point twice; the difference of coordinates will be (0,0) and therefore, if there is an intersection then A-B contains the origin.
Both systems pick different trade-offs:

Flink doesn't persist intermediate state synchronously at all. It runs asynchronous global snapshots in the background, which avoid capturing in-flight messages, just store state, aligned through epoch markers (a synchronization step). On a failure, typically seconds of work need to be redone. That's fine, because it is for analytics, and that approach results in good throughput.

Restate won't start step 2 of a sequence before step 1's result is durable, so it needs to make sure that this durability is achieved quickly. It does frequent (batched) log appends, and each partition does that by itself without synchronizing with others. The result is faster (latency) because it is more fine grained and has less coordination, but it is also more work that is done.
I dont know what metal that was but there was a grey coat of paint on it. Sometimes they coat the metal to prevent rusting or whatever, but the rusting happens under the coating anyway. So maybe possible the underlying metal was rusting and the fungus was feasting on the coating. It was quite a humid space.
> Copilot makes people 10% more productive

I'd say Copilot makes me 5% more productive, as in - MS CP bloat adds 5% to the stack of stuff I need to remove from clients' Windows systems. Most of that is because I have to open Edge and cleaning Edge is a particularly tedious process.

None of this is hyperbole, btw. Keeping up with endless new Windows bloat/nags/traps/guff is a regular part of my billable hours.
Oh. Well, in my experience roughly 5% produce 80% of the value and the rest ensure they can focus on that, save the bottom 25% that are net negatives on productivity. The problem is it’s actually really hard to identify who is in the middle and keeping things going and who is a drag on the organization reliably especially given the middle bulge tends to be fairly quiet and the bottom bulge works hard to appear useful.
Yeah, but the only reason devs are not using those "private" APIs is because Apple owns the only distribution possibility.
For now, the 3rd party stores are a joke because Apple still has too much control (and the fees are a joke) but I hope the EU runs its course and finally forces them to allow installation of any potential software without any limitations.

It is extremely dumb and uncompetitive that iPhones cannot install any apps under the guise of security or whatever. Apple has rested on its laurel and made some stupid choices that seriously limit the potential of their hardware.
It's funny how they announced many features that people have wanted for years at this WWDC; they are starting to feel the pressure, I guess.
In academic circles, the abstract is typically a summary, not a problem statement. The rest of the sections are usually read out of order, so it's actually not that different.
Perhaps, but in the context of this thread, what's important is that the space of possible completions is encompassing every writing style imaginable and then some, and the starting state/input can be used to direct the model to arbitrary points in that space. Simple example template:

Please write <specifics of the text you want LLM to write>, <style instruction>.

Where <style instruction> = "as if you were a pirate", or "be extremely succinct", or "in the style of drunk Shakespeare", or "in Iambic pentameter", or "in style mimicking the text I'm pasting below", etc.

There's no way those "AI detectors" could determine whether the text was written by AI from text itself, as it's trivial to make LLM output have any style imaginable.
I don't know which Android added it, but it also has AB partition scheme (they call it seamless updates) for several years now.
Translator skill/bureaucracy issue. Japanese in Japanese out(btw vice versa). Texts written by a monolingual speaker in Japanese don't translate well, especially if done by the book.

I recently started a project and could have pushed for LiveView but knowing I would need very detailed and complex auth/auth which SUCK in Phoenix I went back to Symfony + VueJS&TS for some parts and I'm amazed how fast and productive I am.

Sure when I need to write a REST route + its consumer in the client I die a little because I know that's the part I could have avoided...
That's right. Just got a new Macbook Pro for myself last week. Couldn't be happier. My Windows PC has been downgraded to a pure gaming appliance and now is kind of collecting dust.
Is the issue just that the commit messages aren't considered important in Github's UI? There's a few tools that do this better, notable Reviewable.io makes the commit message(s) into a virtual file that can be commented on.

Disclosure: I used to work at Reviewable
Thanks for the link. This is my fault because the sentence is ambiguous. Where it tries to explain that "you need to remember to perform auth checks both", it rather means that you need to protect controller routes and LiveView routes the same way, but for a single LiveView, you don't need to do both. I will try to clarify it!

I wonder how much you would enjoy (or hate) Bruno Faidutti's games, they are all about hidden information, scheming and bluffing.

"Maskerade" especially, because there you often don't even know for certain which character you are yourself. Everyone is just pretending, scheming and bluffing the time. Which I suppose really captures the idea of scheaming at Renaissance courts.
I interpreted your comment as this being unfinished but then I heard that PHP has already switched from libxml2 to Lexbor so I guess it's production-ready.
dilute your shares by 10% or have them come crashing down, easy decision. The question is for how long Elon can pump the price with ludicrous claims.
Yes, I agree with you (and disagree with what peppertree seems to have in mind.)
I don't really see how you can believe in acupuncture if you also don't believe in homeopathy. They're nearly the same thing.
A third of the cost? Their lowest tiers start at the same price, and pricing is similar at least up until the enterprise tiers, at which point pricing isn't transparent for either company.
Can confirm, am early stage founder who is a true believer that BEAM is some kind of magic scaling bullet or secret sauce, currently looking for elixir dev.

Theorem provers are a rapidly developing software innovation that is invading a field that has existed since Euclid. I would consider Bitcoin an advancement of boundaries as well. Possibly even Kubernetes, VR, etc.

These boundary pushing technologies appear as a "decline" as you put it because most of the software world needs to worry about paying bills with CRUD apps instead of pushing technological boundaries. I would say this Project Managementization of math as Terrence Tao put it would push the boundaries of math to a point of a sort of revolution, but the sad truth is that it will lose its romantic qualities.

I'm sure there are plenty of mathematicians that enjoy the Euclid/Andrew Wiles way of things and will come to similar conclusions as you. It will be easy to view it as either a revolution or decline depending on whether you prefer advancing the field as a universal truth or you prefer the practice as it is.
Conveniently, they left out how much mass first- and second-generation resonators weigh per wheel and their center of mass radius (distance) from the axis of rotation. This would be crucial to determine if cabin floor-mounted ANC speakers, mics, and a controller would/n't be cheaper to haul around than adding additional rotational inertia to the wheels. Surely, it's cheaper for manufacturing and simpler, but it doesn't necessarily translate into being the cheapest TCO solution for the buyer.

Social justice campaigns like this lead to capital flight from less politically stable and economically developed regions of the world.
In that case there are two attractors - one towards the Golden Gate Bridge and one towards the harmless, helpful, honest assistant persona. Techniques as such probably get weirder results with model scale but no reason to think they get wiped out.
You somehow missed it was the highly educated, clerical class not some illiterate peasants, who burned him at the stake.
They are very useful when ideating with a human. On their own they could veer off into uncertain territory, and likely make mistakes obvious to humans.
Zed has been amazing so far for my Elixir journey, and their latest preview release has additional support for Elixir tests. Not sure how it compares to IntelliJ
I guess that one disadvantage is that PR's are not a git feature, but a feature of the git provider, so you might get locked in with a provider, I think you can export your PR history, but that means the provider where you are migrating needs to support also that feature.
Yes, people are mixing salaries and total comp in this discussion which is unfortunately both common and misleading. It also depends very heavily on the total economic outlook, if you happened to join Google in the fall 2021 cohort your equity was basically going down for the next 3 years and only recovered just now. To claim the average SWE is getting to $1M with that kind of deal is either engagement farming or pure delusion; it has absolutely nothing to do with the reality of most people.
So does the UK. Everywhere I've lived in the UK had electric stoves; everywhere I've lived in the USA had gas stoves. I'd be interested to see stats if they exist.

Also in the USA you see gas-fired tumble dryers, which you never see in the UK, probably due to 240V all round.
Working for an early stage startup with no stock options carries its own risk.

You want insurance against the case in which it actually rockets to billions in valuation (even if extremely unlikely)
I believe they are talking more about the hardware abstraction layer, IIRC Android in recent years adopted a more stable interface for hardware drivers.

To my understand in Linux most drivers are codeveloped with the kernel as it does not have a stable interface for drivers (one might say that it is a pro as it discourages proprietary drivers)
People aren't as dumb as you seem to imply here; "average" isn't accurate enough. "Random", or even "statistical", would be less confusing.
I find the point about added complexity for premium user's experience a bit weird. They are saying that the client will have to skip the ad for premium users. But YouTube knows whose making the video request, right? Wouldn't it be easier to just skip the injection on server side?
Damn I really really want to know which.
I hope this lights a fire under the naysayers (Gerber etc) to actually start setting up a truly independent board.... or sell off their shares and let Tesla sink/swim with Elon's eccentricities.

Im just baffled that you seem uninterested in actually consider technical reasons of why Starship is not the same as Stoke space. The only thing you seem to wonder about if it is managment meddling.

Of course we dont know exactly why each decition was taken, but there are some pretty clear technical reasons that one could think about before using 'cringe' as an explnaition.
I don't understand the distinction. If the book archive is electronic, like many in fact are, why can you not get a copy of the book with a given ISBN without altering anything? Even if it's not electronic, does the acquisition of a book by an individual meaningfully change the overall disposition of available information? If you took the last one in your local Waterstones, I can still get one elsewhere.
Watch the next few years as people move away from Microsoft and embrace Apple. Lesser of two evils.
Show HN: Raftwise – Leave Thoughtful Comments on LinkedIn Posts
Hi HN!

I'm excited to share my latest project: Raftwise Browser Extension (for Chromium based browsers), a tool for structuring thoughts and adding a personal touch to LinkedIn interactions. The extension is available for everyone to try for free, and I'd appreciate your feedback to make it even better.

How it works:
It helps structure your thoughts and adds a personal touch to your LinkedIn interactions, making each engagement more meaningful.

Under the hood:
Of course the extension creates comments using AI. But unlike other tools that I've tried, here comments are created with AI rather than by AI.

Next steps:
I'm currently building a more comprehensive product to help with quality content creation. The waitlist is open, and I invite you to join and be among the first to experience try it.

Request for feedback:
Your thoughts and feedback would be incredibly valuable in refining it.
I think this is the key point. There is no feedback loop right now.
What would any company as "the long term AI winner" look like? What would it mean to be the winner in this context?
I guess to put it in programming-speak which you might find a bit easier: these two names are 'out of scope' of each other - hahaha! :)

I don't think of what you call the 'theoretical' aspects as being purely theoretical, I think they're practical and conceptually associative and have provided a great name.

I do know of the game (but I haven't played it haha!), but I don't think it's a problem. I understand that you do. We'll see! Hahaha! :)

I'm no expert in SEO but it seems like it could go both ways and even boost it. For people's mental aspect, think the recall of this term will be boosted by there also being a famous game, and I don't think people will be confused by these two different categories.

What makes you think they will? What other examples have you seen where this happens?
Me too. I think the main reason is that the lead render developer left, and switched to google to work on Stadia.

>No. I’m suggesting they won’t because IP like the mellanox treasure chest they acquired is ridiculously difficult to develop and Nvidia has aggressively exploited it, along with their other already advanced IP in the space of their -core business-.

For training Llama3 Facebook set up two clusters, one using fancy InfiniBand and one just using RoCE over Arista cards: https://engineering.fb.com/2024/03/12/data-center-engineerin... . The latter ended up doing fine, suggesting that all that Mellanox stuff isn't necessary for large-scale training (apparently at a large enough scale ethernet scales better than InfiniBand).
That's not quite right. You can totally modify them. The restrictions are around what's allowed on public roads, not what you do with the car. (You can drive whatever you want on your land) And even then, many modifications are ok and you can get special classifications for "unsafe" cars (like vintage ones without any safety features)

Impressive writeup. The deterministic aspect is not super popular anymore, I guess, but this entire post does make me wonder how the networking layer compares to a slightly more modern multiplayer game.
>Office sucks, Azure sucks, Windows sucks, xbox sucks and etc. Everything modern microsoft touches turns to crap.

That might be true, but judging from desktop OS market share, what the competition is doing, sucks more.
Certainly not SDLC.

That's what I read it as the first time through. How annoying.
Frustratingly little information. For example, I'm exceedingly curious how they deal with scheduling jobs on such a huge array of machines. The article:

> Efficient scheduling helps ensure that our resources are used optimally. This involves sophisticated algorithms that can allocate resources based on the needs of different jobs and dynamic scheduling to adapt to changing workloads.

Wow thanks for that, captain obvious. So how do you do it?

This type of behavior can be a liability, yes. It seems Musk is attracted to highly intelligent and capable women, and the work he does is in need of as many of them as it can get, so engaging with them is pretty likely to cause conflicts with company goals.

These are people's personal lives. We don't know what went on. What is acceptable? Whatever the participants find acceptable. It seems to me though from the article that none of the women being discussed here made a thing of it themselves, this seems like friends of theirs sending text messages to a newspaper. The only one of these stories actually involving the person in question is the flight attendant one, and while I can believe that it happened, I don't buy for a second that spacex cut her hours back over it. To me, this all looks like a nothing burger that some editor thought would be a juicy story, or that someone paid to have published. "Musk dates some women, they have relationship problems." "Billionaire propositions woman for a financially rewarding sexual arrangement." Big deal.
I was one the developers responsible for implementing the netcode on Serious Sam. We often slept under the desks in the offices at croteam after lurking usenet. One post in particular described the QuakeWorld prediction system which inspired us. That night we coded a simplistic mvp as a colleague (hi dan) tested it over an old 486 nix machine acting as a router that we could simulate lag with. This was well before the actual game was built around it
I certainly didn't think the comments weren't human-generated. I was actually defending you. I just think your style of commenting comes across as unusual here, which is why it attracts attention. On other parts of the Internet the style you use is more common and would not raise eyebrows.

Hear, hear. My one-time $10M (early employee) eventually cashed out at a low/mid 6-figures. Take the salary I earned multiplied by the years I spent there, add to it the IPO, and then divide by number of years I was there. I could've trivially surpassed that annual salary elsewhere. Lesson learned.

Those specific items need a full-size map of where every specific type is placed; and/or clearly visible large labels on the shelves/boxes. Yes, a significant part of the population - myself included - has to resort to hunting for labels or doing image search on their phones, to save themselves from the shame of asking a store worker which one of this green stuff is the "blue peanut pepper broccoli" or whatever it is their partners put on their shopping lists.
No, because people wont accept it in the "old system".
I'm beginning to suspect that Spacex and Boeing are in the middle of a PR propaganda war with one another. It seems to me that someone wants a lot of bad press for each of these companies right now, I would guess each other.

Eventually they're going to put vision LLMs in robotic bodies and they'll be able to learn just by listening and watching, just like humans, at which stage the idea that they're "stealing" just by viewing content will be seen as absurd.
Spirit of the law should still apply even if it's an old law. You should change the law if you want a different outcome. Things get very arbitrary when judges can decide a law is too old to apply - that's how communists did their revolutionary courts in many European countries.
No, the paperwork isn't far enough along for the safety analysis.

They decided to go ahead and build the non-nuclear parts of the system before getting approval for the reactor. Hence the "groundbreaking".
