I see where you are headed, and certainly unscrupulous entities will it as an excuse to cut corners, but I think they are talking about the case where someone produces something that will clearly not work, while still meeting the letter of requirements. Having good requirements is important, but making them is iterative as well, and having to treat software developers like an evil DM when you are casting the wish spell is not ok.
>But as that won't fly for first amendment reasons

The republican scheme called "Project 2025" calls for criminalizing porn. Where there's a will, there's a way, and that's why republicans must be kept out of office. They don't care about the first amendment or any of the other amendments except maybe the 2nd amendment when it serves their agenda. They've had banning all porn on their platform for years, they'll eventually do it if we stupidly let them.

Our strategic reserves are for low-grade emergencies. For anything minor, the status quo will do. For anything major we’ll re-route civilian supplies. In between, the strategic reserve lets the military increase consumption without raising voters’ gas prices.

I feel like this is cool, but is also a harbinger of how the Internet is becoming a bunch of bots trying to trick other bots away from the real content, which is how often being written by bots (at least in part).
Since 2018, and only if you don't think of OPEC as a single block (which in many ways they are). Also, being a top producer in the short term is just another example of short-term thinking. 80% of the world's oils reserves are in OPEC countries. Burning through a limited supply in record time is hardly something to be proud of.
Actually I think that overcorrecting for decorum is taking us to Idiocracy faster. It’s right there in the name: we need to stop coddling idiots, grifters and otherwise unqualified people that work their way into positions of power. Agile gives these types of people nearly limitless recourse to maintain their grip (although it is not solely Agile’s fault, it’s the broader culture).

I wrote a similar tool years ago to get better acquainted with Go. It was an endless procedurally generated website of linked pages that contained things that looked like email addresses along with username/password combinations.

The logs were fun to watch.
Should we also ban sports because people can be injured? It only happens to a small fraction of the players but the same can be said for people like you that believe they've had "lasting repercussions" serious enough to justify the use of violence against others.

I don't know about that. A lot of the work that should have been very satisfying turned out to be boring as hell, if not toxic, while at the same time, some apparently mundane stuff turned out to be really exciting.

I found the work environment to be more important than the subject when it comes to work satisfaction. If you are working on a world changing subject with a team of assholes, you are going to have a bad time, some people really have a skill for sucking the fun out of everything, and office politics are everywhere, especially on world changing subjects.

On the other hand, you can have a most boring subject, say pushing customer data to a database, and have the time of your life: friendly team, well designed architecture, time for experimentation and sharing of knowledge, etc... I have come to appreciate the beauty of a simple thing that just works. It is so rare, maybe even more rare than scientific breakthroughs.

Now, you can also have an awesome work environment and an awesome subject, it is like hitting the jackpot... and a good reason to be envious.
Newcastle and Sheffield ran over eastern leg, Newcastle especially benefiting on services to Birmingham.

Liverpool on the western leg. I always felt landing the leg south of Acton bridge was odd as it meant you still had the winsford bottleneck, but again better service to Birmingham and London

Improved services from Liverpool to Manchester relies on the airport-centre leg in Manchester to avoid castlefield and Stockport bottlenecks
Competent web development has usually been associated with standards compliant sites that work everywhere.

In 2024 its weird that someone who isn't a moron manages to break the web. One would assume this is deliberate to retain some competitive edge. If so why bother a map product that doesn't work where I need it 99% of the time is completely useless. They might as well have retained more advantage yet by making it mac safari only.
How does this work? Every new hire has to buy a share of the company? Or they get it for free? Are they forced to sell or return it when they no longer work there?

Not everyone wants to be forced to buy a risky investment as a condition of employment, or just the hassle.
Maybe we’re talking past each other. China isn’t electrifying their military, they are electrifying all light transportation. This destroys demand for oil, slowly working towards negating it as a point of leverage during a geopolitical conflict. You can’t embargo, blockade, or use economic sanctions on an input a country doesn’t need.

Oil demand destruction, EVs, renewables, are all national economic security issues. They are stockpiling, decoupling, and becoming self sufficient internally to be prepared for an isolationist period. We can wildly speculate why, but it’s very clear that they do not want to be beholden to other nation state economic counterparties.

This is a lot different than leaving porn somewhere. PornHub is advertising on their porn websites. Leaving porn is equivalent to leaving pornhub open inadvertently (I.e., an adult opened it, was advertised to, and didn't close it).

Pornhub is earning money from the porn. Huge difference. Pornhub intends to show its content to minors. In the case where someone leaves it inadvertently, it's an accident (like finding Dad's hidden store of playboys).

And yes, in general, leaving porn intentionally where some kids may find it is illegal (and a sex crime!). For example, in California, It's CA penal code 288.2 (https://codes.findlaw.com/ca/penal-code/pen-sect-288-2/).

If the purpose of pornhub is to arouse, then pornhub providing its services to a child is illegal in California and many other states. The only way it's not already illegal is if pornhub is going to claim it's not meant to arouse (I mean come on... really?)

I'm honestly shocked this is even controversial. What's going on here is that the law is actually already being broken in most states, including liberal California; but the state governments are unable to enforce it. The laws in Texas et al make it enforceable and clear, as it should be.

I'm not some prude. I don't think these things should be banned outright, but it seems obvious to me that there's every interest in preventing children from viewing it. First of all children under a certain age should never be exposed to this stuff and if they are, it should frankly be investigated. Secondly, it can be harmful to minors to view porn, as evidenced by many studies on the matter.
Thanks dang! Amazing to me how much HN brought Wilson and I together after 16 years and across the world. We're hopeful about the future of trust on the internet exactly because of communities like HN.
I cut my teeth on BBC BASIC with the occasional inline arm2 assembly block on an Acorn Archimedes A310.

It had its limitations, but it damn well worked and you could have total control of the machine if you needed it.

(also the Acorn Archimedes manual was about 40% "how to use the gui" and 60% a complete introduction and reference for BBC BASIC, which definitely helped; I had to buy a book to get an explanation of the ASM side of things but, I mean, fair enough)

Then again the second time I fell in love with a programming language was perl5 so I am perhaps an outlier here.
Very happy subscriber here, thank you for the tool. I do a lot of searching with it, however due to some changes in my life in the near future I will not need it as much so I wont be willing to spend $20 a month on it. So my question is, would you consider adding an option where one could pay per query rather than just per monthly subscription? I would love to use it for the occasional spark of curiosity when I want to know more about a certain topic without having to familiarise myself with the academic field surrounding it. Having a way for using undermind for situations like that would be truly amazing! Would gladly pay 1-2 or maybe even 3 dollars per extended query.

I can't read the whole article, but according to the header, they are stockpiling resources they can produce (and do so) themselve (grain, oil, gas).
If people are willing to pay it, is it really so bad?

Charging what the market will bear is a core capitalist principle and seems like good business to me.
Meanwhile, in order to deploy web-based software in the USAF, you need to use something called Platform One, due to something called a "Continuous Authority to Operate (ATO)". Platform One has a baby Yoda, and it is Agile to its core. The whole thing is based on the Agile core concepts like TDD, pair programming etc, and it uses "DevSecOps". This means is it is a huge time commitment just ticking the various boxes. There's something called a "pipeline", which is a set of many third party tools that all have to pass various arbitrary metrics. The pipeline breaks at arbitrary point at arbitrary times, and only Platform One team members are allowed to fix it.
Great call out! Would it help to make the points more interactive?
To be a little pedantic, that's not exactly what he meant. I only say this because his true vision is a lot more beautiful than that.

He wants to reduce the barrier to entry for tech and empower anyone with the drive to build not be limited by their resources. This is particularly why he focuses on Android smartphones because they're the most popular in the developing world. Also since smartphones are full fledged computers with touchscreens as their primary input method it's the perfect tool for this.

Furthermore, his baseline for this is any such device should have the tools necessary to build a working version of Linux from start to finish on itself. Which is why he's built toy box; it should, by the end of it, have all the tools necessary to building a working build of Linux with a single binary.
“Not prioritizing support” is a nice euphemism for explicitly blocking it. They could have just left it alone or added a dismissible banner saying “this browser isn’t supported, don’t report any bugs you find, we don’t care”, but they went out of their way to prevent you from accessing it.

I couldn't read whether those additional 16% last year (after a pandemic and the unexpected 3-day SMO by Ruzzia in 2022) are just a fluke or way above the e.g 2014-2019 average. Also, how much of those 16% are cheap Ruzzia oil? The drop this year could be explained with Ukraine's successful campaign on Ruzzia's refineries and export bans on some oil products that already have been extended beyond the harvest season.
Are we sure China is intentionally building up stockpiles or it is accidentally because it's not able to shift imported raw materials into its stuttering economy?

Just picking one commodity here: Gas of which China now has 23 days worth of storage is ridiculously small compared to the whole year that Austria has in it's storage. Other players like the US have even more natural gas stored, in it's natural habitat below earth and not in facilities that are easy targets for modern missiles.

I understand the danger of mainland China attacking the Republic of China, but it would be much more suicidal for China than Ruzzia's attack on Taiwan. Argentina is mentioned in the article, they plan to drop their own currency for the US dollar, thus no action against the will of Washington will happen.

It seems unlikely people will employ only ML models, especially LLM, to achieve great results: they will combine it with human insights (through direction and concrete algorithms).

It's obvious that's happening with LLMs even today to ensure they don't spew out too much bullshit or harmful content. So let's get to a point where we can trust AI as-is first, and let's talk about what's needed to achieve the next milestone after and if we get there.

And I love asking every new iteration of ChatGPT/Gemini something along the lines of "What day was yesterday if yesterday was a Thursday?" It just makes me giggle.
It annoys me a bit that "it depends how you define a programmer" is a wrong answer. "12 full-time software engineers, 4 data scientists who touch the SQL reports sometimes, and we contract out some front-end UI work plus we have a full-time email marketing guy who does HTML templates" would be better, but that's still just a more complicated way of saying "it depends".

Given the App Store rules and how it gets enforced on e.g. Telegram, Discord, I'd be very surprised if Apple does anything that might possibly allow sexual content on their platforms if they can possibly avoid it.

Yes, despite them shipping a browser. That's in the can't avoid category.
I understand not supporting other browsers, but why would you actively block them?

You're using the wrong word here. The issue of weather pornography is "addictive" has been visited multiple times by multiple DSM committees in recent times and in the latest release DSM-5-TR they have found that pornography cannot and does not cause "addiction". There may be disorders associated with it, but it is not addiction. Using that word allows for framing which justifies the use of violence against people and is, frankly, more damaging than pornography.
This is really cool! Both of my parents are cell biologists, and I've done some time in labs as well, so a lot of paper exploring and reading in the family. "Review" articles are a good index but something more on-demand makes a lot of sense, I can definitely see this being extremely useful.
The additional documents that are linked in the footnotes are great, too.

>I presume the first two bullet points felt obvious enough to not bother stating: of course you fix the code that crashed.

I was not talking about the code that crashed.

I guess what I wrote was non-obvious enough that it needs an explanation:

— fixing whatever produced "problematic content":

The release doesn't talk about the subsystem that produced the "problematic content". The part that crashed was the interpreter (consumer of the content); the part that generated the "problematic content" might have worked as intended, for all we know.

— fixing whatever made it possible for "problematic content" to cause "ungraceful" crashes:

I am not talking about fixing this particular crash.

I am talking about design choices that allow such crashes in principle.

In this instance, the interpreter seemed to have been reading memory addresses from a configuration file (or something that would be equivalent to doing that). Adding an additional check will fix this bug, but not the fundamental issue that an interpreter should not be doing that.

>The architectural changes are the more interesting bits, and they're covered reasonably well

They are not covered at all. Are we reading the same press release?

>Your third point can help but no matter what there's still going to be parts of the interpreter that aren't exercised by the validator because it's not actually running the code.

Yes, that's the problem I am pointing out: the "validator" and "interpreter" should be the same code. The "validator" can issue commands to a mock operating system instead of doing real API calls, but it should go through the input with the actual interpreter.

In other words, the interpreter should be a part of the validator.

>It's far from perfect (both in terms of the lack of defenses to crashloop in the sensor and in what it said about their previous practices) but calling it a nothing sandwich is a bit hyperbolic.

Sure; that's my subjective assessment. Personally, I am very dissatisfied with their post-mortem. If you are happy with it, that's fair, but you'd need to say more if you want to make a point in addition to "the architectural changes are covered reasonably well".

Like, which specific changes those would be, for starters.

Aren't tax deferrals on 401ks a long term bet?

It's structured differently, power is distributed rather than concentrated.

Is power concentration a good thing?

Aren't long term bets extremely risky? Professional investors have a hard time beating the market. You think politicians can?

Arguably, the ability to tax people does offer other investment opportunities.

I strongly dislike it on one count. It actively promotes using the choice of tools as a marker for "true agile". They go so far as to reword the first item to exclude any references to tools. I have seen plenty of groups using all the right tools, full of individually skilled developers, producing garbage late to schedule. The reason is that they did not interact with each other in a way that lead to success. They drew lines about whose problem things were and then used them to assert problems weren't theirs. They set up their own (or modified shared) interface documentation and let it be out of synch with what the other end specified. And on down the line. Tools can help, sometimes. But if someone is using cvs or subversion instead of git, I'm not going to label them as nonagile. If they didn't pick c++'s build system of the week, that doesn't meen the product isn't quality.
