I know when my parents(on iphone) share an image with me(on android), the image is about 64x64 pixels. Whereas they send the same image to my brother on an iPhone and it is multiple megapixels...does the same kind of downgrading happen for everyone if a single person on a group chat is using android? That could be a reason to find out who it is.
I am a huge fan both of his technical contributions, healthy AI skepticism, and also a good friend earned her PhD with Chomsky. I hope he is comfortable and surrounded by people who love him.

I wrote two blog posts on this! It's a really hard problem

https://restate.dev/blog/solving-durable-executions-immutabi...

https://restate.dev/blog/code-that-sleeps-for-a-month/

The key takeaways:

1. Immutable code platforms (like Lambda) make things much more tractable - old code being executable for 'as long as your handlers run' is the property you need. This can also be achieved in Kubernetes with some clever controllers

2. The ability to make delayed RPCs and span time that way allows you to make your handlers very short running, but take action over very long periods. This is much superior to just sleeping over and over in a loop - instead, you do delayed tail calls.
For other people coming here: I cannot reproduce this anymore. I don't know if this was an experiment or what.

Show HN: I made a QR code tool, but with editable links
Hey HN

I made this tool that would've come in handy numerous times when I was still doing agency work.

QR codes can't be edited after being generated. If you have to change the link afterwards, you're screwed, often resulting in headaches, print delays, or expensive re-do's, so I created QRshuffle.

How it works: We create a static link and QR code, you add the destination link. It uses simple redirects so the end user doesn't know this is used. If you change your link, the QR stays the same. Simple as that.

It also has built in scan analytics.

I hope RCS will never be widely adopted. It's bad technology, and despite what Google says, it's not carrier-based:

Google runs almost the entire show (since carriers can't be bothered to actually run RCS servers) and gets effectively all messages sent over it in plaintext, unless you happen to use Google's "Messages" app, which is the only one capable of end-to-end encrypting messages (using a centralized key sever run, you guessed it, by Google)!

Google Talk was honestly better than this on literally every metric, and additionally didn't tie everything to a phone number as an identifier.
Apple Improves Mac Virtualization in macOS 15 Sequoia – Slashdot
Yes and the people dismissing how hard it was to be a founder were comparing it to being an early employee.

So, you're saying that it's hard but "not that hard actually".
It could be E2EE since the google implementation of E2EE is literally just signal protocol messages wrapped as the payload of RCS Universal Profile messages.

The only thing they'd need to do is tweak the signal identity servers to federate KPI lookup (which RCS practically does for you).
You aren't trying hard enough. One of my mother's friends has severe dietary restrictions due to health issues. They make it work.

The leaderboard is on the website. What medium should they use? https://arcprize.org/leaderboard
For your own messages that you wrote and sent, not anyone else’s, and the contrast lower down on the screen is fine, it’s only at the top of the screen when it’s doing the fade-to-indicate-you-can-scroll-for-more thing that it runs afoul of contrast minimums.

to pay what's due. Capitalism, you got something, pay up.

CEOs are paid stock instead of cash because of, among other reasons, goal congruence.

Elon was given different conditional tranches, worth about~ $2.5bn in 2018, specifically if he turned into $56bn, or he got nothing.

He did that, he got rich and by proxy, so did these shareholders. Gerber and Co went to all the news channels to promote him, he wasn't weird then. They can pay the piper now.
I could see a journalist that just gets confused between yards and feet writing that.
The public is almost always on the hook for this kind of environmental damage. Even if you can track down the company that did it and prove that it was them it will be stuck in the courts for decades while the problem only gets worse.
It's true that that's what I thought, which is my statement. And it's better caveated than the previous one, which implied uncaveated that he still had $50m, but hasn't attracted the eye of any budding skeptics.

Since 2020, the internet comment pages are full of virus experts telling us how obvious things are

UK NHS had regarded surgical masks to be ineffective for virus transmission prevention, after several studies, before the field politization in 2020

> They don't seem to have any problem accepting that a sneeze guard at a salad bar does something...

We just find disgusting other people saliva/touching our food. So we didn't accept that before 2020, but maybe we do now

> ...or that a surgeon should put something on their face to prevent them from coughing into your open body cavity

No doctor/nurse would use any kind of mask at the hospital, 90% of the time, before 2020

So not obvious

I feel the same. I feel like I remember years ago, when RCS was first being implemented, Google said they would open the APIs so any texting app could use RCS. RCS is the reason I stopped using Textra and moved to Google Messages. Textra did say at one point they would integrate the RCS APIs when it was opened, but nothing has happened yet.
>you should be L7

The distribution of the ladder is logarithmic. Most never make L6. L5 is often terminal level IC without any “up or out” obligations. Lots of people spend a long time at L5 and retire.
It depends on the combination of the sender's and the receipient's carrier, specifically on what their MMS server allows.

MMS is a hot mess of a protocol stack straight from the early 2000s that is only still meaningfully used in the US, due to the unique iMessage situation there.
That's definitely a good question. A few thoughts here (I am one of the authors). The "bring your own data layer" has several goals:

(1) it is really helpful in getting good latencies.

(2) it makes it self-contained, so easy to start and run anywhere

(3) There is a simplicity in the deeply integrated architecture, where consensus of the log, fencing of the state machine leaders, etc. goes hand in hand. It removes the need to coordinate between different components with different paradigms (pub-sub-logs, SQL databases, etc) that each have their own consistency/transactions. And coordination avoidance is probably the best one can do in distributed systems. This ultimately leads also to an easier to understand behavior when running/operating the system.

(4) The storage is actually pluggable, because the internal architecture uses virtual consensus. So if the biggest ask from users would be "let me use Kafka or SQS FIFO" then that's doable.

We'd love to go about this the following way: We aim to provide an experience than is users would end up preferring to maintaining multiple clusters of storage systems (like Cassandra + ElasticSearch + X server and Y queues) though this integrated design. If that turns out to not be what anyone wants, we can still relatively easily work with other systems.

surveil yourself

Surveillance is something you do to someone else. If it's yourself you're just keeping records. It's common that proving validity of something involves the records of it's creation. Is registering for copyright surveillance?

data you're expected to turn over to your employer

If you got paid to make something, that would be your employer's data anyway.

Worse still if these keyloggers become normalized, and they'll shift from being "optional" to "professionally expected" to "mandated"

You think a brainstorm about using a blockchain by a hacker news comment is going to suddenly become 'mandated'?

And in several EU countries it's illegal to have surveillance cameras pointed at workers without an exceptional reason

They described logging their own keystrokes and encrypting them to have control over them. It isn't a camera and it isn't controlled by someone else. Also they said in an editor, so it isn't every keystroke, it would only be the keystrokes from programming.
For the 2nd, perhaps in identifying critical routes which may be worth an extra bit of infrastructure funding for upkeep to allow such important loads to continue to transit without issue.

Then again, the need for permitting should mean that state DOT's are already aware.
> I spend remarkably more waking hours in these locations compared to where I sleep.

That's good. For sleep health, your sleeping room should ideally be used only for sleeping. Don't work, read, watch TV, etc. in that room. If you work from home or need an office or studio, that should be a separate room if at all possible.
"The state government is providing incentives in three chunks: a $600 million reshoring grant that reflects the higher cost of building these factories in America; $691 million in infrastructure improvements; and $650 million over 30 years in state income tax incentives based on the number of workers Intel hires."

Not a mathematician, but knowing how proof-checkers work I don't expect them to become practical without some significant future advancement, they certainly aren't right now.

The main problem is that in order to work they have to be connected to the formal definition of the mathematical objects you are using in your proof. But nobody thinks that way when writing (or reading!) a proof, you usually have a high-level, informal idea of what you are "morally" doing, and then you fill-in formal details as needed.

Computer code (kinda) works because the formal semantics of the language is much closer to your mental model, so much that in many cases it's possible to give an operational semantics, but generally speaking math is different in its objectives.
You’re correct; I was thinking of NanoID, and updated my post to reflect this.
Value equity at zero? I am not sure what you mean by that. If an employee sacrifices $500k to work at your company, then it would make sense to compensate them with $500k worth of equity is my point. The 28% is tongue in cheek, if you're so early that the amount of equity needed to compensate your first hire adequately is 28%, your company hasn't really started yet, and maybe you should just consider them a founder.
My ask doesn't violate your freedom.

Your ask violates mine.
You’re right about what a gradual type system means! A gradual type system allows flexibility in how you approach typing a codebase. It also means that your system incorporates a dynamic type, making your types 'gradual'.

Interestingly, gradual set-theoretic types are flexible enough to let you gradually implement type inference for that system. Hence, the gradual gradual type system. :-)
I thought I would love "all the namespace everywhere" (which would be a _great_ name for a tech talk at a conf, but it just feels too much like magic to me.

One thing I've never thought about, but you could potentially just make a single file with all the imports and that would make it easier to check, but it still just feels too much like magic and loss of control.

That sounds like my experience. I didn't really begin questioning what I really "was" until I got beyond thinking that my desire to dress in women's clothing was more than just a "fetish," and I decided to see what I'd look like with a full feminine presentation. The answer was: I looked like me. And I turned out to be far more "passable" than I thought.

(There's always going to be people that recognize me for what I am. But, for the most part, they don't insult me about it to my face, or even mention it at all.)
Conceptually I think the only thing these tools add on to the mental model of separation of data and logic is that they also store the name of next routine to call. The name is late bond, so migration would amount to switching out the implementation of that procedure.

I think it would probably help to take the PDF up front, do a combination of checking the DPI and page count to get an estimated word count (as OCRing to get an exact word count might be costly on your end), and then return back a “price preview” at which point the customer just pays the price to get their podcast.

> I started by understanding. I could multiply by repeat addition

How did you learn what the symbols for numbers mean and how addition works? Did you literally just see "1 + 3 = 4" one day and intuit the meaning of all of those symbols? Was it entirely obvious to you from the get-go that "addition" was the same as counting using your fingers which was also the same as counting apples which was also the same as these little squiggles on paper?

There's no escaping the fact that there's memorization happening at some level because that's the only way to establish a common language.

That would be frustrating to tell them your preferences and then be completely ignored. On the flip-side, there are some interviews that are specifically testing how you are at familiarizing yourself with a new-to-you framework or codebase. It might not have been the case here, but for example you can learn a lot about how a person learns and works if you give a skilled React developer a project in a framework that they are unfamiliar with, like Angular. Of course, documentation and other resources should be available during that interview as well.

Again, not sure if that’s what was happening in your case, and giving someone a different OS would only hamper them if they were unfamiliar with the environment. Personally I like the challenge of learning a new framework, so long as that’s the intention of the interviewer.

During covid shutdown a massive piece of industrial machinery was transported down our rural highway. It had like 10 lead and chase cars and a dozen state police. The actual item had 4 semis with 2 pushing and 2 pulling.

I do it all the time, it's really not hard. Make a filling vegan dish that's also gluten-free and most of the time that will cover everyone. Make the meat an optional garnish for that dish rather than the main feature. If you have a guest with an allium allergy you'll need a third thing. Sorbet, granita, or just fresh fruit for dessert will hit just about everyone.

There are entire books about this if you need ideas but the core exercise is not difficult if you already know how to cook.

From my understanding, exactly how "wild" these horses are is mildly controversial, with some claiming that they have a non-trivial amount of domesticated horse ancestry.

From Wikipedia:

>Przewalski's horse was formally described as a novel species in 1881 by Ivan Semyonovich Polyakov. The taxonomic position of Przewalski's horse remains controversial, and no consensus exists about whether it is a full species (as Equus przewalskii); a subspecies of Equus ferus the wild horse (as Equus ferus przewalskii in trinomial nomenclature, along with two other subspecies, the domestic horse E. f. caballus, and the extinct tarpan E. f. ferus); or even a subpopulation of the domestic horse.[6][7][8] The American Society of Mammalogists considers the Przewalski's horse and the tarpan both to be subspecies of Equus ferus, and classifies the domestic horse as a separate species, Equus caballus.[9]
Congrats, look very good!

I would hesitate with the name though. Overwatch is also a game series from Blizzard.

Your own messages appear green to you if you’re messaging over sms.

It is really “the app” that has to die in order for AI to show its potential in user interfaces. If you want to, say, order from a restaurant, your personal agent should order it for you, any attempt for the restaurant to “own” the consumer by putting an app in his face has to end.
Does it though? It's a common claim but I don't think that's been rigourously established.

You’re obviously overstating the FAANG SWE lifestyle.

But beyond that, it’s interesting you picked FAANG SWE and not startup SWE as the basis of your comparison.

The whole premise of the article is that startup employees are often sold a bag of goods about equity and upside that’s simply a terrible deal. Not terrible in the sense that it’s highly risky, but that it doesn’t even come close to compensating for that risk premium. Its sold as FAANG is low risk medium upside but startup SWE is high risks high upside but really its extreme risk and almost no upside because VCs find dozens of ways to carve it out. And people will say startups pay “market” compensation but they almost always mean base salary only, and the equity is such a horrible deal, it’s borderline fraudulent scam on the part of founders to sell startup employees on the equity as a fair deal.

As an aside, when people think SWEs don’t need unions/ professional associations, they think of teachers unions or autoworker unions where pay is standardized on seniority. Instead, we could have something where our lawyers in our camp could review equity terms and we could collectively advocate for things like liquidity deals. That will never ever happen if you only trust the deals the VCs and founders offer.
There’s a lot of jargon in this, is there a lay person explanation of what problem this solves?
