> No matter how much of a hit to their (very large) bottom line, Apple or any company should be welcome to skip the EU if they se fit to go that route

It is a massive hit, though. Not just in Financials over missing millions of users, but in many other indirect ways regarding taxes, overseas relations, resources, and competition. You don't want to just give all that to some competitor who will take the time to bend over backwards for the EU.

SKUs is also a huge manufacturing cost as well. If you've worked in GPU programming you know the sheer hit in performance that branching can cause (without a lot of smart planning). It's the exact same with factories, but on a scale of months instead of seconds.
Subjective time doesn't really matter unless something is experiencing it. It could be 2.6 million years, but if the wall-clock time is half a year, then great - we've managed to brute-force some degree of intelligence in half a year! And we're at the beginning of this journey; there surely are many things to optimize that will decrease both wall-clock and subjective training time.

As the saying goes - "make it work, make it right, make it fast".
To put things in perspective, Sweden's 2022 homicide rate (according to Wikipedia) is 1.1 per 100k people, which puts it in the same range as Denmark, Finland, New Zealand, and Greece. The US sits at 6.4/100k, with the safest state (Rhodes Island) at 1.5/100k, still above Sweden.

> there is no way of knowing the direction of the charge

But there is--otherwise we wouldn't know that Franklin got it backwards. He thought the charge carriers were going one way, and chose the convention he did because he thought it matched the way the charge carriers were going, but it turns out they were going the other way. The signs of the charges are a convention--and the fact that we still use Franklin's convention and it works just fine attests to that--but the direction the charge carriers move is not.

Interestingly, the native population does not want more immigrants in any of the first world countries. (source 9gag, a current presidential candidate)

As I’ve said elsewhere, the majority of the cost of developing a drug is from clinical trials, to make sure that the drug is safe and effective for human consumption. Unless we commoditize the medical services in US, this cost isn’t coming down. In fact, it’s going up.

Asking for lower price is simply asking for fewer whizzy new drugs. If our medical system price goes down, so will drug price.
I had someone remotely intervene on my last ride. A car was trying to parallel park on a narrow street and the waymo stayed put, despite there being plenty of room to go around. I heard a chime and a pop up on the screen said “we’re getting your waymo back on track” and it went around the car, like any sane driver would have done from the get go

> I reject the argument that a no-rebase, merge-only history "preserves the true history of how commits were created", because I believe that is irrelevant. What is relevant is what the tree looks like once the merge (or rebase) lands.

That's kind of the point though: being reasonably sure that a commit contains a tree that the committer had seen at some point, instead of making up history with commits that contain trees that the committer never saw at any point at all.

When someone rebases `n` commits, experience has taught me I can't trust any commits other than `HEAD`; chances are any commit printed by `git log "HEAD~${n}..HEAD^"` was never checked out by anyone, much less tested at all.

CI pipelines also usually run only against HEAD at the moment of push, so if someone pushes `n` commits, then `n-1` are usually ignored by CI pipeline.

Modifying options for compiler or linter or formatter checker; adding a new dependency or updating an existing dependency's version; changing default options for the project. Stuff like that might make those commits useless, and if someone notices a problem in HEAD after rebase, and decides to fix it, even if the fix is moved to the earliest possible point, nobody would bother re-testing all those n-1 commits after the fix was added, leaving broken commits useless for git bisect.

So I agree that rebase is nice. How most people use it, though, not so nice.

Sure, but in this context - in any reasonable context when one would make a value judgement on nature - a judgement is made relative to some human-specific or "unnatural" situation. When someone is making an appeal to nature, as in "nature is beautiful and good, and so the natural thing is better than our wicked ways", it's only right to point out that under this standard, nature is fucked up psychopatic hellscape, and the history of scientific and technological progress is one of escaping hell.
The crypto exchange is likely underregulated and frontrunning you, and since its assets are kept on a blockchain where its wallet can be drained with no recourse instead of in a ledger governed by laws, you are more likely to have your money simply disappear and reappear in a North Korean wallet.

I won’t bother trying to argue against this, because it’s so vague that you will just change the definitions as we go along. But there are at least two very large countries that most widely-read people would consider to meet your definition.

> There is a vast difference between outlawing violent behaviour and mandating cooperation.

This is utter nonsense. Outlawing violent behaviour obviously requires cooperation, without which violence cannot be prevented. But of course, once again, you’re cherry-picking your obligations; the entire premise of your argument is flawed because your arguments are entirely subjective and internally inconsistent.

> The latter is indistinguishable from slavery.

You keep muttering this laughable nonsense as if it’s some kind of enlightenment, but all it does is trivialise slavery, and underscores how ridiculous your black-and-white views really are.

I would argue that while there are some similarities, there are also many differences, and that claiming it's not distributive is incorrect. The number of workers I interact with (and to whom the money I spend flows) as a tourist is quite large compared to the number of people who benefit from use of an extracted natural resource.

It is not true, and trolling.
My apologies for not rebutting your original statements as directly as I could. I am trying to understand better why your comment gave me a relatively visceral reaction.

I think the reason is that it feels somewhat common to see the realm of science as complementary to religion. There is tension for sure there. As a given, religion attempts to essentially explain everything. Therefore when science begins to explain more and more, religion explains less and less.

To that extent, how exactly is something working in a way we do not understand actually evidence of anything? Perhaps understanding more would finally be evidence for why exactly water freezes - but nothing more.

Last point, the logic is flawed. Seemingly you are conveying an implication relationship (ie: if A, then B) - notably: because physics & chemistry were hacked, life can exist. Looking at the truth table of the implication relationship [1], the latter being true, that life exists, the relationship no longer guarantees the former proposition (that physics and chemistry were hacked) to also be true. Which means we could equally say "because so much time passed things lined up - therefore life could exist."

The key is, you have to figure out why the preposition (ie: A, that physics & chemistry were hacked) is independently true of life existing. In other words, independent of life existing, you must prove that physics and chemistry were hacked in order for that to be evidence of why life exists. Otherwise, using the existence of life as evidence of a hacked chemistry & physics is circular reasoning.

It’s really strange reading the words of such an intelligent person beginning to understand something back then that is so fundamental today that even laypeople understand it more scientifically. Really weird, but really cool to get a peek back into a scientific mind in the 1700s.
Uber/Lyft drivers only get tips on 15-30% of rides, so tips are like ~3% of revenue. If you choose to tip, then prices are going to be very similar between Waymo and Uber/Lyft.

I can't speak for you, but I'm becoming less interested in new shiny in a lot of things beyond UI widgets. There's a reason why we olds have a reputation of falling behind, and it's not because engineers and inventors explicitly make things that only young people can learn.

If they’re actually in the same plane, yes. But that’s rarely the case except in hard surface modeling.

Besides, merging them unintelligently still doesn’t necessarily form clean edge loops, which are required for good model topology.

The only issue with rebasing is if someone else has checked out the branch and now they have diverged. It's usually a simple fix, but it can get annoying.

I tend to checkout branches to do code reviews, when changes are complex a diff is not enough, I want an IDE to help me reason about the code (I sometimes even refactor and try different things just so I can understand the code better, so I can make good suggestions).

When I do this, and comment, and the other dev rebases, it's an extra step for me on the next CR cycle.

> Why should AI need permission to perform the equivalent of "human looking" at content?

Why should a car need permission to perform the equivalent of "human walking" down the sidewalk? A car converts fuel into kinetic energy and uses friction to propel itself forward, just like a human does.

The thing is, we don't refer to what cars do as "walking" because the difference is very visible to us. The difference is not so visible with ML algorithms, so people keep trying to compare them to humans, when they're not.

We need a new vocabulary to describe what these ML algorithms are doing with data.
Is that true? There's a ton of overhead required to have any presence in a city (all of the fueling/cleaning/repairing/storing/etc depots) that you need to amortize over lots of cars. If they can keep the cars busy, I think they'd much rather have 5,000 cars in one city than 500 cars in 10 cities (with 10x the overhead).
C++ senior dev here. Of the few teams I've been on, one of the first things I make sure is setup right is cranking up warnings, warnings as errors. Which include things like un initialized variables. I then fix up the errors and make sure they are part of build gates.

These types of problems(undefined behavior and or uninitialized) are often hard(time consuming) to diagnose and fairly common.

Lots of places overlook simple static analysis or built in compile features.
> they do have remote navigators/coaches who tell the cars what to do if it gets stuck/confused, but they're not directly driving the car, they're telling it where to go

That sounds a lot like remote operation.

Waymo is notoriously tight-lipped about this. Look at the number of journalists and reporters who have, over the years, asked very basic questions, like:

1. How often do remote operators intervene?

2. How many miles are driven per intervention? How does this compare to FSD?

3. How much of a typical ride is remotely operated and not actually driven by the car itself?

Waymo never provides answers, and one can only imagine it is because they are not proud of the answers.
They should fire what even nitwit thought this obviously illegal plan was a good idea in the first place. The fallout will likely tank the entire archive in the long term.

Back in the late-90s, I did datacenter support for a large company. I used to get calls all the time, asking for some sort of hardware support.

So, I used to tell callers, "Eject the CD-ROM." ... It worked every time. LOL

Ask HN: Would you quit your job because of the business domain?
I like the product the company I work for is building, but I hate the area/domain in which I’m working. It’s certainly the most complex area in the company, and they hire more engineers precisely to work on it. When I did the interview it didn’t sound that bad, but it’s just painful to work with because the business domain is complex and so the codebases reflect such complexity.

Everything else (people, management, etc.) seems fine, so I’m unsure whether I should just quit and try to find something better. I’m not concerned with the state of the market at the moment (I always manage to find something), but I have never quit before because I disliked something (I have always quit in good terms, always with a positive feeling )
