Does the DMA mandate that they actually implement extra apps/features, or just provide the API surface for others to do so? Like, just to pick the first one on your list - any reason they can't just let it point at an arbitrary app that's tagged as providing music (and, I presume, that implements some standard API to query songs or w/e). Does the law really want Apple to integrate with ex. Spotify, or just make it possible for Spotify to integrate the same way as Apple's own music app?
Yes all of that was purposefully left out. It's just about which hand is touching which other hand, not about how the hands are actually in contact. I was purposefully skipping those details to try and find something simple to build on.

She was on here a few years ago socking to promote herself, she makes commentaries about things, but then when you look at the evidence, it doesn't add up. She wrote in Slack before she even went mega viral that if we never heard from her again it was because Apple gave her enough money to go live in Hawaii and start a private law practice.

I don't like Apple secrecy and after what they did during the wage survey, I don't trust anyone on the People team or in Security. But that doesn't make Ashley right or credible. She was a bully to other women in nearly every situation like everyone else in leadership. She baited us into confiding in her about our issues with management and the People team and then she ratted us out to the People team and we were all harassed into deciding whether or not we wanted a coerced investigation into our issues. What's worse is that Ashley convinced us that the People/Security teams were spying on us, when really it was her using us as some kind of leverage trying to squeeze them for money. She uses us still in her evidence in all her litigation against Apple. She never asked us for consent, she doesn't care. Just like when she worked with us, we were just things to be collected and used for her to get ahead.
Why are some many people here spouting conspiracies lol? Manning, his partner in crime, has been out of prison and living a normal life for years but Assange is going to get disappeared for some reason? If the US government wanted to keep him in a hole they could have not offered a plea deal and kept going through the extradition process in the UK (where he would have stayed in jail since he has a history of fleeing).
You don’t have to become a celebrity that every random person on the street knows to try to do some good in the world, whether it works or not.

And objectively the internet is a safer place thanks to the Snowden NSA leaks which were directly inspired, not just ideologically but technically in how it was done, by Assange. You can look at the mass adoption of encrypted messaging and HTTPS adoption statistics (which grew exponentially directly after the leaks to become near standard), and plenty of other metrics to see that.

Wikileaks was the spawn of many good things, even despite it’s flaws.
Which is your field?
He wasn't "doing journalism". WikiLeaks just posted a completely unevaluated firehose of data fed to it by whomever, which is why they were such an easy asset for Russian intelligence.
I had a trailer hitch on my Fit, and would show up to moving parties and embarrass all the pickup trucks with how much stuff I could haul. Their trucks had tiny 6 foot beds, my trailer was 8 feet long, plus all the crap I could fit in the back of the car itself.

It's a real shame they don't make the Fit anymore here in the US. Instead we get that shitty crossover HRC in it's place that doesn't have nearly the storage space in it, because it has to look like it's higher off the ground to satisfy buyers.
This has happened before. From 2000-2004, this was the world. Companies were going out of business or cutting headcount to the bone, and the folks with 7+ years of experience were getting picked up (often at a discount). If you started your first job coding in 1999 and then got laid off half a year later, sucks for you.

2004 both Salesforce, Google, and Blackboard (they were big then!) IPO, and Facebook comes screaming onto the scene. Greenspan monetary policy had already made capital nearly free, and the 2008 financial crisis kicked us into 0% interest rate territory. It costs us nothing to invest in talent, so why not? If we invest in 100 startups, each with 100 employees at $150K salaries, and just two of those unicorn exit, we've made our money back, and it costs financiers nothing to wait.

2004 kicked off the simultaneous rise of "software as a service" and "social media," both of which were highly lucrative. But not only that - SaaS allowed traditional (think General Mills or Procter and Gamble) to have high-quality, cutting-edge software products without needing to employ a lot of engineers to run them. They could just pay a line item to Salesforce and let them concentrate the devs.

Just like in 2004, I think we will have a major industry shift that unlocks jobs for lots of these junior folks. I don't think it will be AI - just feels too obvious. I suspect it'll be something to do with climate change.
I remember that footage.

"Deemed illegal", sounds rubber-stamped.

The fact that you put "collateral damage" in quotes, has the same value as me putting "Murdered by COD players, just for carrying a camera" in quotes.

I stand to be corrected regarding the video in question.
No, conspiracy liability makes Assange liable for for whatever the charged conspiracy, which included Manning, did. The "overt acts" are those things the prosecution can prove Assange himself did. They're the glue that connects Assange to the conspiracy.

"Title 18" is almost the entire federal criminal code. Saying "a specific clause in title 18" is like saying "somewhere, in the entire US federal criminal code, it says...".

As I just said: the murder-for-hire scheme --- which I believe was in fact part of Ulbricht's sentencing --- was an "overt act" in Ulbricht's conspiracy charge.
It’s going to be hard to persuade a lot of people to go back to COVID protocols with something like this. “Fool me once…”

Julian Assange's years of torment (14 years, which in many countries exceeds the length of parole eligibility for a life sentence) affected how I viewed the world and my political leaning. It wasn't clear how what he did wasn't journalism. Daniel Ellsberg who was bound by US laws didn't suffer like this; and Assange is not even a US citizen.

Remember the people who didn't stand by him: The entire left. Most European Governments, who were collaborating in a decade of torture; that he had to be protected by Ecuador is an utter shame. Of course WaPo, NYT, et al. Now every time I hear a high pitched social justice squeal from these folks, I realize that it's selective and merely self-serving.

Sorry, political rant because this is a political topic.

That was my thought too. It's outside the mainland customs zone though which is full of fascist angry CBP agents at the ports of entry. Maybe CNMI immigration is easier? It's also faster/easier to escape maybe, although USVI is also outside mainland customs and easy to slip out of.

I looked at llm but it doesn't appear to have a mechanism for multi-shot prompting, where you provide both prompts and responses within your query. (Ref https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/prompt-engineering/t... .) Maybe take this as a feature request?

It feels like the 'template' system in llm might be able to encompass this but the docs don't appear to provide a reference for the yaml format, only examples. I guess that is another feature request, sorry!

(BTW if you haven't seen https://docs.divio.com/documentation-system/ it really changed how I think about documentation)
You'd probably want an alternative libc implementation rather than a compiler flag.

However, calloc everywhere won't save you from smashing the stack or pointer type confusion (a common source of JavaScript exploits). Very rarely is leftover data from freed memory the source of an exploit.
I wouldn't call it "censorship", but sure, let's say it is.

There's a reason why "this is the exception that proves the rule" is a common saying. Picking out one exceptional example of something, and using that to argue against a general point, is at best lazy, and at worst actively dishonest. I'm fine with those kinds of comments being "censored". They -- and the comments calling people out for doing this -- are boring and don't further discussion.

I think you've confused wikileaks with the new york times there. The times definitely pick and choose. I have seen no evidence that wikileaks suppressed anything ever. Link if you have it as that would make them more like the times.
To me, it's explicitly about being topologically equivalent. I brushed up on my topology and knot theory when working on this to make sure I had it right. The post is considering two social dancers as connected components of two topological objects and the 15 different ways are all the different ways specific points of the surface (hands reduced to points that is) are able to connect.

There's more topology as well when you start bringing in other characteristics of a position, like relative distance and orientation of the dances, you can find more equivalence classes for the other types of equivalences that fall out of that.

Have you thought about contracting? I used to be a mercenary and switching every 6 months kept it somewhat fresh. It was a bit more exciting than a permanent position.
> . Very few clients are actually high net worth individuals who trust the skill of the hedge fund manager.

I'd check your assumptions. The vast majority of hedge fund clients are high net worth individuals, with very few pension clients for the typical hedge fund. You might be right about the skill assertion but no one is being taken advantage of.

Hege fund clients are almost all high net worth individuals who are very capable of making their own financial decisions. Even pensions that do allocate to hedge funds are such a small portion of the pension holdings. PE is probably a larger portion than hedge funds.

Think about it for a second. There are a very few finite number of pension funds and a relatively huge number of high networth clients.

I don't know which fund you work for to get your insight but you are incorrect in yoru assumptions:)
Ask HN: How should I hire a Junior Developer in today's market?
TLDR; My question to you HN is, how should I hire a junior developer right now? This post is inspired by a flagged post that briefly appeared at the top of HN that speculated whether we had seen the death of the Junior developer because of (reasons not specified) and then pitched their shitty product that was essentially a thin wrapper around chatGPT.

I would argue that junior developers are strengthened by the base technology, but maybe not the way it is currently packaged in the form of AI coding assistants that promise far more expertise than they actually contain. A large part of my day is actually convincing people who could probably be assisted by responsible uses of AI coding tools that they should avoid them, lest they infect my code base with ill advised changes they don't fully understand.

What would you have me do, almighty market? We need to build coding assistants that explain why and how they came to a conclusion rather than feeding -people who do not know what they are doing answers they cannot evaluate as acceptable or safe. It is a looming crisis. I don’t in 5 years need to explain to an army of supposedly senior engineers how basic things work because some model version lost sight of it a few years ago. My question to you HN is, how should I hire a junior developer right now?

They mention using Skymaster for C&C but Lattice is also C&C. Idk anything about this stuff but it kinda sounds like WordPress doing a press release about integrating Drupal lol.
That wouldn't make it safe. It would just make it crash in a different way, and still be vulnerable to exploitation by an attacker.

Ask HN: What is going to happen when AI services ban people?
There is a story on the front page right now about someone losing their child's family videos from a youtube ban. We hear about this stuff all the time.

I suspect we are gonna be in somewhat of an arms race with AI products as the bubble grows over the next 18-24 months. This makes me worried about how disadvantaged people are going to be if they lose access to the better platform (whichever that ends up being).

Do you think AI is going to be so important that we would benefit from legal protections for access?

Or do you think the models and technology will become so small we will be able to personalize / decentralize the tech and it still be useful / competitive?
The claim is distracting drivers can result in deaths, it has little specific to hats. Rather it’s about the dropping.

A Phalanx_CWIS is overkill. Also, I suspected that the system received continuous upgrades throughout the decades.

Likewise, the Abrams tanks are cold war era tanks, but they are continuously upgraded that a modern Abrams tank isn't really a 1980 tank. Modernization is likely to remove some weight and make Abrams more survivable against drones, in response to the Russo-Ukrainian war;

Yeah it's absolutely insane how the American left depicted him. Admittedly controversial in discretion of disclosure and some election related effects--but to view your own political agenda above morality and their ostensible caring of human rights and war crimes just shows the depth of the hypocrisy.

This is just blatantly false. The majority of clients are large institutions. FYI I used to work for one.
Because like it or not, it has become a general purpose computer. For millions it’s their primary (for some: only) gateway to banking, payments, education, government services, personal relations, keeping in touch with family, navigation, healthcare and emergency services.

Up next: digital ID and (possibly) online voting.

Those things are all pretty important for a society, right? In a sense, they are society.

Accordingly, a couple powerful entities controlling all those things ought to expect oversight from said society. It’s not hard to understand.

So no, Apple is not doing “the same thing” as other device manufacturers have “done for ages”. Not even close.

I also play and enjoy chess as well as dancing, and I do enjoy reading about and using chess engines and how championships are impacted by them. Different strokes for different folks though, obviously nobody needs notation or printed materials or anything to learn how to dance. My supposition is that more abstracted dance resources would help some people though who are being underserved by the current dance education market presently, but we will see.
> For example, JEMalloc is used by nearly every app compiled in nix.*

JEmalloc is used by very very very few apps compiled for *nix. That's a conscious decision that an app developer needs to make (and few would bother without specialized needs) or a distro packager needs to shoehorn into their package builds (which most/all would not do).
This is indeed how systems around the world do it for NFC tickets. The problem with QR codes is that they're very easy to copy, so the potential for abuse with this approach is much higher. What's to stop people from using the same ticket on two different stations within the sync period?
I'm not sure why people keep comparing to Python. Python is not replacing shell either.
The requirement for a hardened runtime certainly supports this point of view.
Yeah, I've been thinking a bit about the multi shot thing. I've had great results from Claude by "faking" the previous conversation to include example question/answer pairs.

With LLM you can do that using the undocumented Python Conversation API, but it's undocumented for a reason (I don't think it's good enough yet). You could also fake a previous conversation through the CLI tool but that is VERY undocumented - you would have to write fake rows into the SQLite database!

I also want to support the Claude thing where you can prefill the start of the response - amazing for things like forcing HTML by refilling an HTML doctype.
Compare Ruby to shell, not Python, when considering what I wrote above.

That's like saying people presumably read EULAs before agreeing to them. We have a system where we pretend everyone is a rational actor while teaching them none of the skills that would let them actually behave as such. Is there any high school that covers economic topics like depreciation and opportunity cost?

That's a bummer honestly, I would encourage you not to let Internet flamewars color your decisions about what languages you might learn. The well is seriously poisoned with regards to Rust in this community. That's more of a reflection on HN than the value of Rust as a technology or even the Rust community.

Don't learn Rust if you aren't interested, it's not a one true language, but don't cheat yourself on engaging with an interest because HN struggles to discuss it amicably.

I don't follow your calculations; It appears you're doing arithmetic with CAGRs from three different date ranges (2010-2020, 2012-2019, and L10Y).

An apples-to-apples comparison illustrates my point:

L10Y cumulative change in:

Bay Area rent: +46.0% [0]

Bay Area wages: +45.7% [1]

Vs:

Barcelona rent: +70% (if we believe TFA)

Spain wages: +30% [2]

Or:

Cumulative 2010-2020 change in:

Bay Area rent: +57% [0]

Bay Area wages: +34% [1]

which also looks bad (but not as bad as Barcelona L10Y). Indeed, there were lots of complaints about housing costs in SF then.

I don’t have a strong opinion on Assange’s initial actions but a big chunk of his “years of torment” were a legal tactic on his part. A legal tactic that appears to have worked!

He could have engaged with the various legal processes being held against him, but he chose extra-legal protests instead. None of us know if that approach is better or worse than what he did, but this wasn’t torment without agency. It was a direct outcome of his own choices.
Excellent, thank you for making this! Your way of explaining things really resonates with me.

It's close to Apple's home base in Cupertino, and this is more of an R&D facility than an actual factory. Apple will have smart employees working there that live in the area and who aren't easily replaceable.
