Of course there's bias. If he had rubber-stamped it there would be no story to tell.

His decision would have been questioned after the fact, he would defer to information from levels below, and this would recurse until responsibility had dissipated beyond and any personal attribution. The same pattern happens in every org, every day (to decisions of mostly lesser affect).

The key point—at least from my read—were the follow up actions to highlight where information was intentionally ignored, prevent that dispersion of responsibility, and ensure it didn't happen again.
The census counts those living in the US regardless of their immigration status. That census count is used to determine Congressional representation. Plus, anyone born in the US, regardless of immigration status of their parents, is a legal citizen and in eighteen years, a voter. Politicians might not be able to see past the next election cycle, but political parties play the long game (e.g. "the Southern Strategy")

Show HN: Online OPML editor to manage subscription lists
I made a small online editor to manage OPML[1] files easily. There are a lot of smart online editors for formats like JSON, but while OPML is supported by most subscriptions services, the experience of editing/managing it is poor outside of what each platform support. The pain of managing the file independently increases as the size of the OPML file grow larger.

It's rather simple at the moment but the goal is to provide shortcuts for common desired tasks to make the experience of editing OPML much smoother and streamlined.

The editor is a static website that runs locally in your browser, it doesn't require an account, nor do any tracking.

Let me know your feedback or if you've any pain points around OPML

It's not very hard to perform Bell test-style experiments with macroscopic objects, the problem is that the Bell inequality actually holds for them. Many classical physics phenomena produce pairs of objects whose properties must be shared, analogous to quantum entanglement.

In fact, the inequality in Bell's theorem is based exactly on how classical statistics works: if you and I randomly choose to measure some aspect of each of a pair of "entangled" objects, and assuming the result of our measurement can only be +1 or -1, then on average the sum of our measurements will be less than or equal to 2. It turns out though that this logic doesn't work for entangled quantum objects.

And one small note here: based on everything we know, the key here is quantum entanglement, not scale. That is, if you could entangle two basketballs or planets for long enough to perform a Bell test on them, they would likely reproduce the particle results. However, this property of quantum systems is very hard to preserve for such a large system with so many ways of interacting with the environment and experiencing decoherence.
Lived and worked in Israel way before current hype.

> Rust in comparison is minutes old and there's no evidence it will dominate the field of system programming in the future.

This is true (for some values of minute). It is also why I was suggesting that C calling convention, HTTP etc, not Rust, would be the computing lingua franca. Now that I think of it, a few years ago TCP/IP would have been on the list but now with HTTP/3 it's not that certain any more.

> Rust is Haskell with a different syntax though...

This is quite bold claim, but if you have a rigorous proof beyond "all Turing complete languages are the same" I would be interested in seeing it. It's a pity you left.

> ...makes it very hard to write simple linked lists.

This is interesting in the light of the beginning of the sentence, because in Haskell linked list is the easiest data structure. Simple linked lists aren't always that simple though. There is a reason why they used to be a recurring technical interview question.

> Again: this seems to me more promoting Rust than a discussion about memory safety

Funny, to me this seems more about promoting JIT and garbage collection. Nothing wrong with that, as long as you admit that there are niches where those are a problem but memory safety is still useful. And so far there haven't been other serious language candidates for that niche.
Amazing! In some way, this was the obvious next step (Starlink clearly had some capacity headroom for this), but still, this basically blows all existing competitors out of the water.

I wonder how much more bandwidth this uses compared to their stationary terminals. There's almost certainly a power/size vs. data rate trade-off here, which can explain why they don't offer it standalone in the US yet (the reasoning probably being that people will use their more efficient larger antenna at home most of the time), but do have standalone plans in areas where they probably have less users overall.
Fair enough, although as I see that is relatively recent.

Admittedly the reasoning provided is quite lame given that up to 11.3, the support is available.
I think the pump-and-dump extraction of value from any brand works pretty similarly, whether a non-profit or regular business.

Lots of companies with centuries-long record of manufacturing previously durable goods have in the last decade or two switched to using e.g. inferior quality steel to increase profits. That'll destroy the brand, but in the meanwhile there's great profits to be had!
I believe the idea is realistically more that the allies should not have declared victory as they did, if a free Poland was truly their goal.

If you fail to achieve your stated goal and you still declare victory, you are either lying about your goal, or you are lying about your victory.

Invading the USSR probably wasn’t the most efficient way to ensure a free Poland. Have you heard of negotiation? Did the USSR really not want anything that the Allies could give to ensure a free Poland? Or did the Allies simply not value a free Poland enough to give up something big enough? If it was really their main reason for entering the war, don’t you think the negotiations math would have worked out differently?

Pretending that was an LLM as it is understood today, and that whatever internal API was available for internal use cases is actually the same as the public API for Gemini today, and that it was the same as an API for adding a "chat completion" to a "conversation" with messages, roles, and JSON schemas is silly.

It isn't so crazy, a US citizenship is worth quite a lot of money. It is pretty obvious that just walking in and settling in the US will lead to that sooner or later - based on the stats I've seen the sheer volume of people involved makes any sort of expulsion program infeasible.

I personally would consider this as an option if I wanted to migrate to the US. Probably wouldn't take it; I don't like risk or rule dodging. But there is something to be said for it. From a distance it looks like a relatively low-risk high-reward approach to migration and I can imagine even if it is a terrible choice a bunch of people in the global middle class would take it out of confusion and optimism.
For emergency communications (i.e. calling SAR or maybe getting a doctor's opinion on whether you should), satellite messengers do just fine, and they're much cheaper. Newer iPhones even have this built-in!

Data speeds are measured in a handful of bits per second, though.
But there's an overall loop which branches backward to the same spot, regardless whether the iteration went left or right. At least that's predictable.

If we have an instruction that will conditionally load one of two pointers from memory, the left or right traversal can be made branch-free.

The only reason we need to switch between two code paths in the binary tree descent is that we have two different pieces of code for loading the left or right pointer to the different offsets used in the load instruction.

If we use a two element array for left and right, the indices [0] and [1] select between them. We make the comparison condition calculate a 0 or 1 result and use it as an index.
It died when Windows 8 came to be, I would say, not even Office was that keen in adopting WinRT.

Additionally, I think Microsoft "Developer, Developer, Developer" culture on Windows side, is kind of gone, as many key people went elsewhere, and got replaced by a newer generation without Windows development culture.

So now we get UNIX conventions all over the place, and teams that rather ship React Native and Webviews, instead of proper native frameworks.
Unlike the west where families don't help each other.

72k USD is easily accomplished by big 20 plus member families pooling money together to pay a mule to have one member get in America . Because they know once he gets status they ALL will be allowed to come thanks to the generous family entrance rules.

So no, this isn't the exception. This is the norm. They'll then pool their cash to buy a 4 bedroom house and live 25 in it because that's what real families in developing countries do.

And yet shouting about evil immigrants taking your jobs, living on your welfare (even if it's contradictory), mugging you in a dark alley, raping people left and right seems quite a successful tale that empowers the most atrocious parts of the far-right political spectrum.

Deglobalize, polarize, institute the rule of the power as opposed to the rule of law seems to be the message. The consequence, though, would be overall weakening of the states, erosion of trust, and making the defence of all the values our predecessors have already paid in blood for even more toothless.

I think your statement puts the cart before the horse, though. Both parties are "ok" with the status quo not because they necessarily collude to create it, but they are full to the brim with opportunists who use the status quo to their advantage. I don't think there is major political will to actually change anything, but if change forcefully comes any other way, they will happily try to ride any wave to their advantage.

I don't believe this mode of operation is going to change much while the facto regime in the US is gerontocracy which is also all about risk aversion. Oh, and quite possibly a drive to protect big money at all costs.
I suspect they forgot the value of internal training on their own platform’s tech and they just hire folks from outside and let them run wild, and all they know how to do is React, so that’s basically what we get.
Doubles are way overkill. Using something like 16 bit integers per channel is adequate even for HDR.
What you have failed to grasp is that people are not logic machines. "First chatbot" is never uttered to mean the absolute first chatbot – for all they know someone created an undocumented chatbot in 10,000 B.C. that was lost to time – but merely the first chatbot they are aware of.

Normally the listener is able to read between the lines, but I suppose there may be some defective units out there.
That seems pretty cool. Good to hear they're rolling out newer tech to solve that DC conversion and have turbines help support frequency. Thanks for sharing!

I wonder what percentage of turbines installed already have this technology versus the DC conversion. Or are pretty much all MW scale turbines using this?
> I think the booster was redesigned after the accident

That is correct. I believe they added:

* A "J-Leg" carved into the insulation[1] that acts as a sort of pre-seal

I guess, we'll see how things shake out.

I'd like to see a 'contact layer' be sprayed on the inside of all food containers.

That contact layer would be one of a fairly small list of very well understood materials.

And we'd run multi-year animal studies with tens of thousands of animals to demonstrate safety of those materials.

(Unlike current studies which might just be 10 mice for 3 weeks)
You're missing out on the second order effects of SAR being called out and putting themselves at risk because someone (who probably shouldn't have been out there anyway) issued a distress call.

Ty Gagne wrote a book about the death of Kate Matrosova in the White Mountains of New Hampshire[0]. The search and rescue effort took place in absolutely harrowing conditions. That was enabled by the fact that she had a Spot/InReach/equivalent.

People backstopping their safety on extremely limited SAR resources and an assumption of being able to get them deployed in the first place is not an overall improvement in the safety of hikers or the people who stick their necks out getting them out of trouble.

A "state of the art" system would almost by definition be running on special and expensive hardware. But I have llama3 running on my laptop, and it would have been considered state of the art less than 2 years ago.

A related point to consider is that a superintelligence should be considered a better coder than us, so the risk isn't only directly from it "copying" itself, but also from it "spawning" and spreading other, more optimized (in terms of resources utilization) software that would advance its goals.
For someone with no training on Windows tech, using no helper tools, but who has lots of experience using web tech, maybe. But not only is that not true with the right skills and tools, but these webapps don’t even have feature parity. If they can’t do everything a native app can do then it’s not even a comparison.

Financial data APIs from public companies
Do you know any kind of APIs that are either very cheap, or open source with basic data from companies by quarter like revenues, earnings etc?

I have seen a few, but they seem quite expensive for the purpose I want to use it, and I wish I could just open source it and make it free.

I currently use google sheets and the financial information available from GOOGLEFINANCE formula just sucks, so instead I'll just try to build it and open source it.

BTW, I'm surprised Google can't do this right, I'm sure if they'd hire me full-time this would be perfect in no time. I use Google sheets a lot... and sometimes I wonder if they even have a team for it, as it barely gets any updates. It's a product with so much potential but seemly affected by lots of inertia.

this is what happens when the leadership wants you to ship something "good enough" out the door in a fear to not fall behind in whatever race they have conjured up in their minds.

this product on some levels, when looked at in isolation, feels as useless as did Rabbit's R1. However, Microsoft is a ginormous corporation, and hence can keep on throwing releases like these at the wall hoping something stick. The leaders will never learn, and I am sure, despite all the good points raised in this article, this release will be or is already being celebrated as a success within the internal circles.
I wish rust people spent their time writing software instead of going around telling other people to do the job for them. They only manage to get others annoyed with this attitude.
