I would argue that most sota models do know that they don't know this, as evidenced by the fact that when you give them a code interpreter as a tool they choose to use it to write a script that counts the number of letters rather than try to come up with an answer on their own.

Emojis lost the plot when they became too anthropomorphic. Now that they're realistic humanoids they need to represent all skin types, genders, ages, pregnant men, etc.

A smiley doesn't need gender, sex, or age, to convey meaning.
Exactly, so then it would be wise not to add to the damage already done by changing it again.
> That's because the repulsion is going in all directions and nets out against itself but all the gravity points inwards cumulatively.

Is that true? All of the protons repel all other protons with the electric force and attract with the gravitational force, and it seems like gravity is just much weaker at all distances...

I haven't thought about this very hard though.

Yeah I… don’t think that’ll be happening. From Twitter, sure, from X?
Sure, I will check it out.
Thanks for taking the time to write this out, I think it helps me understand a bit better. Every definition seems to be sort of different and personalized but I think it's beginning to coalesce into something in my mind, rather than just leaving me confused.

Usually when I try to ask this question, I just have angry people being angry with me, and I end up more confused. So it's nice to have some legitimate explanations come my way.
I’m pretty sure the thumbs up emoji or the slightly smiling emoji won’t get different interpretations based on font.

And here the issue is not in font differences (or different pictures of the same thing getting different interpretations): it’s the thing represented that’s actually different.

> forced to say “space sex” out loud

Unless your spoken English isn’t very good, it’s quite clear there is no “s” sound in the second half.

Say “space sex” out loud and yes you’ll hear two distinct ‘s’ sounds. Not at all the same as “space ex”.
So these type of filters work on massive lists that IT or Sec admin configure. Its not that they specifially blocked .zip but software like Umbrella, Zorus DNS etc have a filter for "phising domains" and that TLD is probably part of it. Blocks at the DNS level, its actually useful.

Yes but pretty much every single medium where you can use an emoji you can upload a picture.

Signal, iMessage, X, FaceBook, etc.

This thread is specifically about X so that’s what I mostly am talking about here.

But pretty much every communication medium being used allows you to upload pictures. It doesn’t make any sense to me why you’d remove the emoji and not also try to censor all pictures of guns.

if you're in a country where healthcare costs to the individual can be considerable, someone who's disability costs them extra money would need additional funds to get to a baseline of living. Eg I don't need a wheelchair to get around, so my cost of living does not include buying and maintaining a wheelchair. Someone who does would need to pay for that somehow.
To be clear, TB moves the code to the data, rather than the data to the code, and precisely so that you don't have "race conditions outside the ledger".

Instead, all kinds of complicated debit/credit contracts (up to 8k financial transactions at a time, linked together atomically) can be expressed in a single request to the database, composed in terms of a rich set of debit/credit primitives (e.g. two-phase debit/credit with rollback after a timeout), to enforce financial consistency directly in the database.

On the other hand, moving the data to the code, to make decisions outside the OLTP database was exactly the anti-pattern we were wanting to fix in the central bank switch, as it tried to implement debit/credit primitives but over general-purpose DBMS. It's really hard to get these things right on top of Postgres.

And even if you get the primitives right, the performance is fundamentally limited by row locks interacting with RTTs and contention. Again, these row locks are not only external, but also internal (i.e. how I/O interacts with CPU inside the DBMS), and why stored procedures or extensions aren't enough to fix the performance.
I wonder if there was a way for other clients to detect apple and translate their 'watergun' into a new emoji while keeping backwards compatibility on all other clients. Or another way for all vendors to push back against Apple is for all agree to not render the new emoji from Apple devices. Its too late now but one of these two would have been a good solution in 2016 to push back against Apple's nonsense. I guess since this is also used in SMS there is no way to properly detect the client its coming from?

Major bias disclaimer:

1. I work for Figma

2. I work on AI at Figma, as well as on the design systems part of the product

3. Prior to Figma, I spent 7 years as a prototyper teaching designers how to go from idea->code without a design step in between

I love designing in code, and I HIGHLY recommend you do so for smaller projects, but I disagree with some of the assumptions the author is making. The author states, "The reason Figma has over 4 million users is because it takes most people too long to code their designs", which I feel is inaccurate. For less-experienced creators, it's mainly because the UX is more approachable in a design tool. That's less relevant here since the author is talking about designers who can code. For the most experienced designers, it's more about alignment.

As an example, most of my side project[1] was designed entirely in code... until it got to a certain scale. Designing in code was amazing early on when every page could be a new pattern. After a while, managing variations of components and ensuring that I wasn't diverging from existing patterns became non-trivial. Things became even harder when I hired another person to work on things. At that point, alignment became crucial. We needed to ensure that designs we were both working on were aligned with each other. Patterns one created needed to be reused, not reinvented by the other. This is something that's very hard to do in code. I ended up creating a mirror of the existing implementation of the site in Figma from scratch. For the iOS app, I ended up starting it in Figma[2] so we could easily compare implementations and land on an agreed pattern. Alignment with patterns and with the team was the #1 reason why we operated in a design tool during this time.

You're right that I shouldn't have given the impression that content addressed storage means as a technical matter that public content must never disappear. The phrasing was a bit sloppy. GitHub could, as a technical matter, choose to hide content that had previously been made public.

Nonetheless, given that GitHub exists to facilitate both anonymously pulling the entire history of the repository, and given that any forks would contain the full contents of that repository, it is very natural that GitHub would take the "once public always public" line.

> and I mean commits made to private repositories being public is always a security vulnerability no matter how much github claims it's intended

I specifically said the third use case was different, because it is the one that doesn't involve you explicitly choosing to publish the commits that contain your private information. I did not and would not defend GitHub on that point.

>If they want to salvage Alexa, they need to forget shopping and start doubling down on the smart home and assistant experience.

Agree.

Go look at the Alexa Skills for any random category and sort by "best sellers," then sort again by "average review." There isn't an ecosystem.

For Lifestyle, the "4th best selling" [1] skill is "North American Roofing," which is for a company in Tampa.

There should be more there. Given the devices with a touch-sensitive screen, some form of presence detection, location awareness, and other things, there's a lot of missed potential there.

That's not always true. They often fail the spelling part too.
I would think most _full stack web_ developers probably have a website (if not a portfolio maybe a personal project or blog). Agreed though that making it a hard requirement would probably exclude some good candidates.

Many typefaces are have problematic I/l/1 and O/0 characters, and that is material enough that applications avoid those characters entirely to avoid potential confusion.

The problem is deeper than unicode: the fact that any codepoints can be rendered differently from client to client or typeface-to-typeface was always problematic, even back it was mostly ASCII.

Pay over Time is only for "eligible" charges, not the entire balance.
BlackRock's revenue comes from financial services. You pay them to invest your pension, they charge you based on how many of your assets are under their management, they don't get a performance-based fee. Currently, they have 9.101 trillion USD under management. This is not their money, this is the money of their clients, but their clients pay them, and they take the voting rights associated with the shares that they manage.

Technically, if your investment does well, they have more assets under managemnt, and they earn a larger fee, but in practice they can just increase their rate because the people using them aren't shopping around anyway, and there will always be more money invested through them.

In reality, most people are paying BlackRock without ever knowing that they are paying them, and then in addition to paying BlackRock in money they get the benefit of your voting rights, which they can then do with as they see fit. They are power brokers who are paid by the people whose power they are brokering.

commits done to private repose being public (point 2&3) is always a non minor security vulnerability IMHO

it doesn't matter if it's behaving as intended or how there are forks

also point 1 implies that github likely doesn't properly GCes there git which could have all kinds of problematic implications beyond the point 1 wrt. purging accidental leaked secrets or PI....

all in all it just shows github might not take privacy security serious ... which is kinda hilarious given that private repo using customers tend to be the paying customers

I’m not a fan of showbanning in general; it feels unethical to some degree.

But HN has features like Show Dead, which allow you to opt-in to seeing [dead] posts (at around 15 karma I believe). This means [dead] posts and comments are not fully gone.

I browse with Show Dead on, and on the whole, almost every [dead] post and comment deserves to be. If I had seen OP’s post in new I wouldn’t have vouched for it, because (as another commenter points out) it’s not relevant to the site. Similarly OP has several comments in this thread that are [dead] and most of them are not worth vouching for.
This image at https://www.bitsight.com/sites/default/files/2024/07/23/Uniq... makes a compelling argument that something happened concurrently with the third set of weekday peaks. Although considering how similar each peak was for the first two weeks I would say the divergence was earlier than the dotted line where the short sharp peak appeared.

Something happened, the nature of that something might be unrelated to the BSOD crash. Could just be another piece of software doing an update at a different frequency that sometimes changes the timing of the crowdstrike update.

You'd need a longer term view of data searching for beat patterns to detect that.

If the something was a one-off effect, like admins taking sick days to watch the Euro final, I'm not sure how you could positively identify the cause.
That line of thinking would not have reached the conclusion that you imply, which is that open source == pure altruism. Having the benefit of hindsight, it’s very difficult for me to believe that. Who knows though!

Amazon is the same as Google, Meta, Twitter, etc in the sense that they have a couple of wildly profitable products that enables the company to 'play' at running some other businesses that might turn a profit eventually after investing fifty billion. For Amazon it's the retail business and AWS. For Google it's AdWords. For Meta it's Facebook Ads. These businesses will never die, or even face a threat to their futures, despite throwing billions at self-driving cars, AI, phones, VR, etc.

The only existential threat to FAANG companies is a shift in consumer behavior away from spending money on things they see ads for. That's quite unlikely.

Thanks for taking the time for the explanation and the rundown on the architecture. Sounds a bit like an LMAX disruptor for DB, which honestly is quite a natural implementation of performance. Kudos for the Zig implementation as well, I've never seen a project as serious in it.

Personally, I still see challenges in developing on top of a system with data in two places unless there's a nice way to sync between them, and I would have seen the mutable/immutable classification as more of unlogged vs changes fully logged in DB, but I'm just doing armchair analysis here.
