To be frank, if I could choose which of those to achieve, and it would be perfectly achieved, I'd choose actual security, but the reality is that it's impossible to actually meet most SLAs. I have met exactly 0 infosec folks who can honestly claim their company meets patching SLAs, much less vuln SLAs in general. And as the saying goes, if one employee is failing, that's a personnel issue. If many employees are failing, that's a management issue.

The entities in charge of security are always the boardroom Executives of the company, ultimately, because they set the strategic priorities and silo budgets. And their main goal is never actually security.

Sure. And nobody predicted how incredibly useful the transcontinental railroad would be.

My only counter to this is that after, what, two _decades_, Apple _still_ has not added the ability to adjust number boxes with the up/down arrows on the keyboard (like text size for example). A designer would have included this on day 1, it’s such a common UI pattern in design tools.

If anyone on the iWork team is reading this, _please_ get to that Radar.
You’re just making my point, it was a compromise for the time that no sane person would include in a country or constitution started from scratch today. There’s a reason no other country on earth uses such a ridiculous system. It is just tech debt we have to live with.
I don't know about simple, haha, but thank you so much for explaining in depth!
This isn't new. Lots of old (pre-Internet) media was lost forever because storage was expensive and it was considered not worth it. As an example, there are a bunch of Doctor Who episodes which are lost forever because the BBC back then didn't consider it worthwhile to keep them and overwrote the tapes.
Photoshop is the Sisyphus of software compatibility on Wine.

Can play the latest UE5 based game via Proton, still struggles with Photoshop. The funny state of Linux-Windows compatibility.

I get it, not undermining game development - it is a fine art but games are tight code bases that work on a lot of repetitive tasks. Utilities can be exceptionally broad in their scope. Also helps that coders who are gamers can be VERY dedicated to fixing the issues that hold them back from said games.

It is just neat that Photoshop is still this elusive thing that seems to also just be a foot away from working perfectly out of the box. I mean I have seen Wine run all manner of applications and home brew games without an issue.
My mother lives in a small town half an hour outside a major city and has starlink because all of the national telcos, regional fibre ISPs, or local WISPs didn't want to take on the capital expense. If it weren't for starlink they'd be using 4G hotspots for everything.
Ask HN: What's the best product out there for AI data analytics?
There's been an oversaturation of conversational analytics out there in many different types of interfaces. Real question to the community -- what's been an AI data analytics platform that has actually showed promise in making data-driven insights accessible to non-technical business users?
I've had to do this manually so many times over the years.
Yeah. At they pulled a Sony on a smaller scale and have better relations with the local govt.

The people who ordered it done will be fine.
I don't really have anything substantive to say; really just stacking onto this. My tax payments are not "regular enough" for the IRS. I generally end up owing $15k at the end of the year. It's an inconvenience for me, but I'm happy to pay it since, you know, taxes pay for things to be done. These folks have the gall to charge me money for that now, with threatening letters to boot, suggesting that I should supplement my W2 tax contributions that my employer makes quarterly. Portland, the city I live in, mimicked this system entirely and now demands the same for smaller amounts. I'm left feeling that we gave these folks billions to make things better and the people they went after weren't billionaires; they're instead nickel and diming high income earners. I don't claim anything on my taxes, I don't have much (if any) business income, and I'm not married. I have the simplest taxes in the world and these folks can't advise my company on the correct amount they should deduct for taxes and I'm the one that gets a bunch of legalese in the mail.

This to say, the billionaires running the system are certainly something but so are the people at the IRS who had an opportunity to actually do something with all that money. I look at them less with the lens of victims of partisanship and look at them more as part of the problem.

In my case they know exactly how much money I've made quarter to quarter and could provide better advice to the company I work for. They also could have a system to notify me ahead of time so I have a chance to pay the bill they're expecting. They did none of these, but instead shook the couch for change.

No, I think you’re right. It’s just a matter of convenient tooling. I have been doing similar tasks with ChatGPT and Gemini, but, in the standard web interfaces, I end up uploading the same reference files multiple times and I tend to lose track of previously used prompts and unfinished projects. Anthropic’s Projects should make it easier for me to pursue multiple projects with different contexts at the same time.

The fact that Claude 3.5 Sonnet also seems smarter than the other current flagship models makes the Projects feature that much more attractive.

Maybe if I were smarter I wouldn’t find much use for Projects.
Very nice dude.
Let me tell you the story of how youtube terminated my youtube premium account for community violations, despite the account only being used to view videos, no uploads, no comment, no community interactions of any kind. How a banned account removes access to subscription page so I literally could not unsubscribe to premium, and went through months of fruitless appeal process that was met with automated denial until I was forced to cancel my credit card after being charged 100+ because you're only allowed appeal every 90 days and I didn't want to lose a 10+ year old account. Or how I had paid Google One sub, which was suppose to offer me in person service, only for them to say they have no interaction with the Youtube team. Then I had to do a Take Out to back up all my data on the off chance that Google would ax all my other services for cancelling card. No one should be paying for a service where they can't talk to a real person to get problems resolved. Google still owns me 10 months of red sub.
Are we demonstrably getting better open source software? By what metric? (Not sure myself, asking in good faith.)
I mean, if you squint a little Haxe is just an ActionScript compiler that has more targets than Flash. So it's kind of close to Flash, though not perhaps as easy to use as that XML-based thing.
The whole point of Max is that you can compile same code to multiple targets without manually optimizing for a given target. They are obviously going to support NVIDIA as a target.
Great article, covers well both the achievements and the shortcomings. It's crazy how many people write about these kinds of AI developments while completely skipping over anything like the following:

> The “good news is that when AlphaFold thinks that it’s right, it often is very right,” Adams said. “When it thinks it’s not right, it generally isn’t.” However, in about 10% of the instances in which AlphaFold2 was “very confident” about its prediction (a score of at least 90 out of 100 on the confidence scale), it shouldn’t have been, he reported: The predictions didn’t match what was seen experimentally.

> That the AI system seems to have some self-skepticism may inspire an overreliance on its conclusions. Most biologists see AlphaFold2 for what it is: a prediction tool. But others are taking it too far. Some cell biologists and biochemists who used to work with structural biologists have replaced them with AlphaFold2 — and take its predictions as truth. Sometimes scientists publish papers featuring protein structures that, to any structural biologist, are obviously incorrect, Perrakis said. “And they say: ‘Well, that’s the AlphaFold structure.’” ...

> Jones has heard of scientists struggling to get funding to determine structures computationally. “The general perception is that DeepMind did it, you know, and why are you still doing it?” Jones said. But that work is still necessary, he argues, because AlphaFold2 is fallible.

> “There are very large gaps,” Jones said. “There are things that it can’t do quite clearly.”
perhaps they want to get their material out of the training set feed trough of all the Sora-style models consuming anything and everything not nailed down with an as-yet non-existant source watermarking scheme that can pass through the most tormented AI digestive tract.

It's also not a bad thing to be honest. There's so much content on the internet that would be best deleted.
Apparently my account was banned on Anthropic Sonnet after a "Automatic review". I'm 100% sure i did not make any "unsafe" queries, I've litterally only briefly tested and that was weeks ago.

You have that book? That's an incredible artifact, but I get nervous about any older paper material that is privately owned. How do you have it stored? I see people buy books and other ephemera and keep them in their homes and they just don't last :(
Very interesting. Do you think this will ever turn into a device that regular people can buy? I've been an insomniac my entire life, and would be very interested in trying something in this space.
"You’re missing that they want you to subscribe to Paramount Plus, so they’re going to have all of their content there"

Most of the comments here seem to have missed that, if true. I did not read the article, the headline implies otherwise, but that surely can be clickbait.
Google and advertising killed everything off. Google is directly responsible for making tech and the world shitty. They started the whole making money of your attention thing and then everyone sort of just followed it.

Not to mention the whole SEO industry that pushed off smaller, high quality websites for gargantuan mess of word salad articles.

And finally now the present generation of developers are slavishly solving leetcode to get a high TC (total compensation).

We need a whole new generation of hackers to take us out of this mess.

There are some clues, in the Patron, open source, community. I just hope kids make useful software for them and their friends.
The CBS Viacom merger was a cynical plan from the very beginning. It even drew shareholder lawsuits which they ultimately had to settle. The writing was on the wall as early as 2015, though, when the company started restructuring several core businesses in moves that I saw at the time as "thinly veiled cash grabs."

During a time when they could have been making deeper investments in these business and capturing large parts of a growing media market they completely ceded the space and any expertise they had in it all to pad their own paper value. Immediately after the merger they lost a lot of licensing revenue because they drastically overestimated the value of the corporate assets they cherry picked for themselves.
Please let me know what you think about it
> And there is the issue that what we feed livestock affects how much gas they produce.

So maybe that is the problem. /s

Why can't the videos be downloaded and uploaded to the Internet Archive? There's a lot of copyrighted videos there already.
But copyright isn't just for publicly distributed mass media made by corporations -- it is for all works made by anyone.

Copyright also protects work that people wish to keep private, or work that people want to share at some times, with some people, but not all people.

(Also depending on how that idea might be implemented, it could cause some strange situations for copyleft software)
Seriously. This is just scaremongering. Could it happen? Anything can happen. Will it happen? I dunno, but acting like it is a foregone conclusion as justification for escalation is nothing more than pro war propaganda.
Fun times.

The Saudis have drained the massive Arabian aquifer (leading to their investment in unmetred water farms in Arizona), the North China Plain groundwater levels are falling by a meter or more annually and starting to bottom out, various portions of the Ogallala aquifer are turning to dust (other portions have maybe 50|60 years left if tapping doesn't increase).

Grain production will be sustained by the Ukraine breadbasket (if war pauses to allow tractors access) and then by the Siberian plains once the permafrost melts away.

Climate aware Risk players red teaming food and water issues are in demand, things are less certain for farmers on the ground.

Brings up an interesting topic: if I wanted to preserve a movie for 100,000 or even 1,000,000 years, how would I do it? What physical media would last that long, and could actually be played back correctly and accurately by some archaeologist in the year 1,002,025?
It's so weird to think that a naturally occurring hormone which is safely available in one first world country would be so restricted in another.
A changing means of production will likely shift the wealth from a previous ownership class to another. Whether that diffuses into the middle class is mostly a political problem. However the stronger a middle class is, (through access to capital) the faster technology production and adoption will become.

Or so is a school of thought of contemporary political economy (read Why Nations Fail by Daron Acemoglu. et. al. )

Example: the cotton gin did not make for a healthier middle class, since the political apparatus barred access to capital (and human rights and civic participation) for so much of the population.
Thank you!

I think, like you said, a good strategy will be to keep it fun and hobby-like as long as possible. I can definitely see the business-side of it sucking all my time and energy.

I think doing some educational materials will be a worthwhile way to market and gain interest. Community building with something like a Discord server will also help. Competing as a business with something like Jagex is 100x harder than just making a good game.
I'm a mathematician but tbh I have no clue what you mean by saying that arithmetic progressions of primes are "trivial" or analogous to anything here or in machine learning.
Where? How? I get a totally blank home screen. If I subscribe to some channels, then manually go to subscriptions, it just shows new videos from those channels.

When I watch a video, then I get related other videos under that. Those seem reasonably related, but only a few usually successfully attract my attention.

It might matter what kind of content the initial video was. My subscriptions currently include Usagi Electric, Maggie May Fish, Rick Beato, EEVblog, Primagen, James Hoffman, and several more vintage tech like Adrain Black and Techmoan.

Back before they blanked out the home screen, my home screen did often have sssniperwolf and mr beast even though I never watch those. This was still with history turned off, just before a year or so ago the home screen still had content regardless of history.

Now those kinds of things never show up in the related recommendations following either a subscription or a manually searched video. Well I presume if I manually searched for mr beast I would get them attached to that.

Anyway I was mostly just taking a shot at YT for trying to coerce people into turning on history by making the experience, which I pay for, worse.

I can safely say they want history on, not just because the obvious we all just know it, but also because they say it themselves. In place the previous screen full of videos, now it always shows a message that is not only an active suggestion to turn history on, it's even worded like it's an error that you need fix. Every time. No concept of "yes, thank you, I have already intentiinally declined your kind offer. I didn't forget from 8 minutes ago, and after 15 years I didn't change my mind either." No, it just hits you with that front and center action item every. single. time. Maybe the 8341st time will be the one!

They are doing the simple math of it's free and effortless to make the machine say that infinite times, but each user has to spend a little effort to go around it every time they use the service. They win by pure attrition some percent of the time.

The beat frequency? Not really; I used an app called Gnaural (on Android, hasn't been updated in years), and just selected the "Power nap" profile. It'll be theta or delta though, maybe a combination.
This is highlighting what has happened with all forms of ML. Give a baseline set of folks the same dataset and they will end up with a model that performs about the same. Companies are one-upping each other but it’s very back and forth and just a case of release date. These models will become a complete commodity. The thing that could be proprietary is the data used to train them, which could lead to a sustained better model performance. The barrier to entry here is super high given training costs, but the ML skills are still a commodity.
> the entire point of these co2 laws is to have more control over people’s lives rather than to solve problems.

Interesting take, so the absolutely massive subsidies on meat that completely change the overall affordability of meat vs vegetables isn’t a problem. But trying to renormalize costs so the environmental impact of meat isn’t hidden away in subsidies is “control the people”.

If we removed all subsidies tomorrow the problem would go away as everyone just naturally cut 90% of their meat consumption because of the cost.
Adrenaline rush from firefighting. Just changed some TCP settings. Let's see how she does now.
I mean, no matter where you fall philosophically, Wikipedia does take resources to host, including storage costs, and they're always strapped for cash.

If they could be assured of never needing to reduce pages to not run out of money, I would have no logical objection to having a page for everything, but as someone who's donated quite a bit to them, they are most assuredly not in that position.

If the day comes that their hosting costs match or exceed their available funds, I'd much rather know that what is there is all the most important information, and not a glut of random pages that no one ever looks at.
Not quite. Europe has been bullied into a war with its principal commodity and energy supplier.
Wish there were leaders like Jacques Chirac who had the balls to put their own national interests first.
Lisp. It is possible to write a tiny Lisp interpreter. With its macro support, Lisp is infinitely malleable and can be extended as required.

I have often wondered why Javascript was so widely used instead of Lisp to begin with.
Not according to the article: "Unfortunately for those in search of older episodes of The Daily Show and The Colbert Report, neither can be found on Paramount+."

I’m genuinely shocked by how conversational this is.

I think you hit a very important nail on the head here; I feel like that scene in iRobot where the protagonist talks to the hologram, or in the movie “AI” where the protagonist talks to an encyclopaedia called “Dr Know”
> Belief in a higher power is not a substitute for finding goodness in what you do.

But it can be, namely because it’s one path to finding motivation to do good. Not saying it ends up there for everyone, but it certainly can be for some.

Spain as a country was one of the most powerful and largest of that time period.

So of course the whole country benefited.

This is a nice fantasy, but you still need the infrastructure to efficiently transmit said energy.
How did it come to this, where it has to be a top down approach?

Some of my son's teachers have a policy of no phones in class. The ones that enforce it have a bag with pockets hanging on the door.

If the student has a phone when they walk in to the classroom, it goes in one of the pockets. If they get caught with it on them, it's detention. Simple and effective.

Don't understand why this has to be something enforced at the school district level unless the teachers no longer have any authority to run their classrooms
While this is a great idea, it's generally illegal for IA to share that content. And it's looking increasingly unlikely IA will be in existence 90 years from now, so it's unclear there'd be a point in them simply archiving it. If copyright were 14 years, if give IA a lot more of a chance of still being around then.

And apparently the videos are no longer available to download, so it's not an option, anyway.

Barring some change of heart by the copyright holder, these episodes are gone forever.
One technical challenge to using panic to represent normal exceptions is that most go code is then not exception safe. This was a design choice for the ecosystem if not the language itself (see eg: Effective go about panic not crossing package boundaries, or Google's style guide).

Within a package it can work, but then you'll find language support lacking. For example defer is scoped to a function so you need to write pretty unusual code to make the equivalent of a try block.
A great many of our problems (in much of the developed world to varying extent) stem from just this.
