That makes sense, thanks for the idea.
IMHO the problem has been that FAANG has not been regulated enough. The sheer size of these companies and their market share means there's little chance of competition from anywhere.

Though TBF when it comes to poorly thought out regulation, the amount of human time lost to clicking cookie consent/reject screens surely has to be a net loss to society.
> That's an interesting approach

Thanks! I was put off by how much the article's solution changes the nature of the game, saw someone's comment about chess being too even and draws already being a problem, and it hit me in a flash how to largely solve both problems at once.

I agree that White potentially has an advantage because they can play a deceptively strong or weak opening, hoping to fool Black into a bad choice, but I don't see that as too much of a problem, but maybe I'm wrong -- I'm no expert at chess.

By "the new X community notes system" do you mean the same one that existed and was entirely developed before Elon bought Twitter?
'Realtime' actually has multiple meanings.

At least one of them is very, very specific and is the one that Wikipedia uses in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real-time_computing

> Real-time computing (RTC) is the computer science term for hardware and software systems subject to a "real-time constraint", for example from event to system response.[1] Real-time programs must guarantee response within specified time constraints, often referred to as "deadlines".[2]

Strictly speaking, this definition doesn't say anything about how tight those deadlines are, as long as you can guarantee some deadlines.

There's also 'soft' real time where you try to hit your deadlines often-enough, but there's no guarantees and a missed deadline is not the end of the world. Games are good example of that, including the example of chasing the electron beam.

ABS brakes are an example of a 'hard' real time system: the deadlines aren't nearly as tight as for video game frames, but you really, really can't afford to miss them.
It's also naive in that they somehow think they wouldn't get invaded the second some dictator decides they want some lebensraum. You can't have an entire continent (save Poland, Finland, Britain, France, and a handful of others) more or less ignore defense (via technological advancement) and hope to keep pax liberalism
> Maybe the EU is trying to cover this with new laws like the GDPR and DMA, making malicious app behaviour illegal. Might that not be better, protecting all users regardless of platform?

If I thought the EU could actually execute on that? Maybe. But I know that Apple executes on it, and the fallout from the gdpr doesn't give me a lot of confidence that the EU knows how to regulate tech in a way that achieves desired outcomes and doesn't just lead to the same behavior as before with malicious compliance stamped on top.
You are right. Thanks for the feedback.
I am so glad to hear that
> But we also need the people who do like risk taking and new stuff

The issue with that is that risk is usually not borne by the people getting rewards.
> Practically nobody during the inflation scare proposed raising taxes to destroy cash.

They did though, they just don't call it that because it's implicit in the existing tax system and happens without any legislative action.

Capital gains tax includes a tax on inflation. If you own a $100 asset and its real value doesn't change but you have 10% inflation, its nominal value is now $110 and the next time you do a transaction the government will call this a $10 capital gain and collect tax on it, even though the real gain was $0.
The comments here seem ignorant of how regulations in the EU have become and what the dynamic is. Regulation is being lionized [0] as a political badge of honor, and as TFA shows, things are getting ridiculous: it is not enough that you can a) not use facebook, b) pay for it, or c) consent to let them use your data -- you MUST have d) use facebook for free without letting them use your data. In other words, socialist values must be upheld by corporations, now everyone must be able to avail of your product at no cost, to be subsidized by the wealthy, which in this case is the corporation itself! Of course businesses are just going to stop operating in this environment!

The comments here seem blind to this simple calculus. Then they will say, "nothing of value was lost": then think who is the arbitrator of value here? It is clearly not the consumer*, but the consumer's nanny. Was something of value lost in that philosophy? No? Perhaps China and North Korea are not so bad, then.

It was a research scientist role. The company I will omit because frankly I heard multiple companies doing it (to the point that at least two sources recommended to me to read minGPT before interviewing, so it is "invert binary tree" but for RS interviews).

Honestly it will be a miracle if an indie game dev like me gets the job of a machine learning research scientist. Can't say they asked the wrong questions.

I wanted to argue that Llama 3.1 is not truly open source, and I wanted to discuss this with the public. Looking at previous "Ask HN" posts, it appeared to be a board where both questions and discussions were possible.
It seems you're assuming the firewall or my machine configuration was the issue rather than a tailscale "sharing" feature issue.

I am, among other things, a network engineer, and previously I shared my tailnet with my brother's windows machine by logging him into my account directly, and it worked flawlessly.

I want TS to win, but they've got product and engineering work to do if they're serious.
> What an interesting point of view. Very European. I wonder what will those Europeans do that do need the high-performance computer chips to create something new, to innovate.

You mean the ones fabricated with European photolithography machines?

I think you missed the GP's point: a lot of so-called "innovation" is crap, providing as much true value as a parasite (maybe one of those lovely ones that will kill you if you try to kill it).
Because if we limit each individual to have only one home it could cause traffic issues in certain cities.

Something like 60% of the homes in my area don't have people living in them and the traffic can be as bad as 25 minutes for 1 mile of driving. This would have to be a state/city level decision.

Personally it seems like the decision of an officer for how many homes a single person can manage. IE if you are getting hired for a specific salary they already know how many homes you are going to own over your lifetime.
How the EU Weaponizes Regulation to Extract Billions from American Tech
You know what? That's still good advice. I think many should take it to heart.
See, this is the problem with just deciding to invent your own facts.

There is a famous study on this topic, usually presented in much the way you describe. But usually people are more careful not to lie about the results. The rate of women being hired went down, not up. The "success" for women was contained to advancement through particular audition rounds.

https://archive.is/xmvp2

The original paper is not exactly a model of investigative integrity:

>> Women are about 5 percentage points more likely to be hired than are men in a completely blind audition, although the effect is not statistically significant. The effect is nil, however, when there is a semifinal round, perhaps as a result of the unusual effects of the semifinal round.

> ...any trichotomy which doesn’t break down into one or two dichotomies is almost certainly arbitrary and some guy just coined it years ago and nobody has questioned it since.

Sequencing, Alternation, Repetition
I'm not sure that's true. My quick searching around is that the first paper proposing strings as a possible description of space and time is Nambu, Nielssen and Susskind in 1969 whereas Langlands first stated his conjectures in his letter to Andre Weil in 1967[1] (ie before string theory had even really kicked off mathematically which didn't happen until Ed Witten got involved in the 1980s). In his letter, Langlands seems to motivate the conjectures entirely from abstract algebra and topology (although this is way above my mathematical pay grade at the moment so I'd be more than happy to accept I misunderstand).

Speaking of large batch files, if anyone has ever softmodded a Wii, there is a good chance you used ModMii, which is by far the largest batch program I've seen. The main script [1] is a batch file that clocks in at over a megabyte. I used to be pretty into the Wii modding scene and remember talking with the author of that script about random batch things a few times. I can't imagine maintaining a file that big.

Prima facie, there's a huge shortage of leadership underlying the accident, both at the "IC" (senior pilot) level and at the "middle management" level.

Which of the two possible causes do you think applies here?

1. Funnel intake: The US Air Force simply does have enough capable people coming into the system to make it to the relevant levels.

2. Lack of survival: relevant people come in, but leave the system before they can make impact.

The Vision Pro was innovative but risky and, so far, unprofitable. I hope Apple does more Vision Pro-like things, it beats yet another iPhone model.
Pretty telling though. When dijit was talking about Tencent, Microsoft or Google a few comments ago they were being presented as these huge incumbent behemoths that scoop up everything in their path. And, fair enough, they are.

But when Nokia starts with an overwhelming incumbents advantage, their board doesn't even have confidence that Nokia's internal talent pool can lead them to make a mobile phone! They couldn't defend themselves from multiple companies in completely different industries with no prior competence in the mobile phone world. That was an A-Team EU hardware company's performance.

The issue here isn't company size, it is something specific to the EU. I'm not sure what, but since it is a geographic thing I'd start with regulation and branch out from there.

It's interesting to me how the article looks great in a browser that does not auto-load resources or process CSS. But in a so-called "modern" browser, the kind worshipped by developers, the annoyance is so bad, the article is so difficult to read, that the forum moderator directs readers to use a different website. Others might not find it interesting but I do.

> It’s a short term paradise. You’re not going to be able to keep it that way when the rest of the world is more technologically advanced and you slip into poverty.

I think you're failing to make important distinctions. Being "less advanced" in algorithmic addiction machines, ad targeting, personal privacy invasion, or monopoly is not going to cause any of those things.

As an American, a good chunk of American consumer technology is more akin to a parasitic burden than any advantage.

> Speculative execution is so valuable for performance that a computer without it is completely unusable. If you really want a processor without it, buy an old first-gen Pentium.

Pentiums have branch prediction and speculative execution. You need to go back to i486 if you don't want speculative execution. Most of the socket 5/7 processors from other makers also had branch predictors and speculative execution, but not the Centaur Winchip. The Cyrix 5x86 for socket 3 (486) had speculative execution, but it was disabled by default and is reported to be buggy (but helps performance on published benchmarks).

Yep. I was always using only the low end of the volume slider and having the same problem as OP that the steps were too coarse. So for Musium, I added a logarithmic volume control with a step size of 1 dB. That difference is on the border of being perceivable in the range I usually listen at, which is fine enough in practice.

But AMD already offer GPUs with that amount of VRAM for extraordinary amounts of money, so there'll be no change?

And from what I hear they're selling every one they're producing, even to the level where there's a ~6 month waiting list. So even if they reduced the price, the only difference would be that the list would get longer and AMD got less money. No more devices would actually make into people's hands, being production limited.

You're just doing what conservatives do, act obnoxious when criticized and maximally deny the accusations.

I said you were employing sophistry in your argument and gave a simple explanation why.

I "insinuated" nothing, because I explicitly called you a conservative because the amount of ignorance and sophistry in your position forces me to conclude you must be one, not the other way around.

If you had paid attention and had basic reading comprehension skills (since, like a troll you don't know the difference between "insinuate" and the overt explicit statement about your political biases) , I had originally separated my comment into arguments, separated by paragraph spacing. My second argument (BELOW the blank space) was the conclusion that you must be an ignorant conservative. My first argument (ABOVE the blank space) was simply applying basic critical thinking skills about previous claims. You should focus on that, the substance of criticism, but instead you employ deflection tactics and whine about my deciding that you are a conservative.

Again, all you're preaching with those Wikipedia links is reducible to naive cultural relativism. It is a gross political ideology, employed by the worst: neoliberals. And you don't have to be an American to be one. Clearly your background in philosophy and social studies is in dire need of an update patch, since you are not even aware of this.

And, speaking as an overeducated Asian American with a busy life, I find ignorant discussions about social issues quite tiresome so if you have nothing new beyond your last comment about how much you buy into cultural relativism, please leave me be.
"Better" is subjective, as an LLVM is not always appropriate for most firmware.

Indeed, note gcc is sometimes intentionally Nerf'ed to suppress optimizations in favor of more repeatable code-motion behavior in real-time systems. Yes this can compile terribly inefficient binaries when inspected, but they are predictable and repeatable builds.

There is sometimes extremely good reasons to be able to inspect exactly what the assembly dump does, and know for sure it won't get randomly permuted in the compilation optimization/abstraction LLVM builds.

This concept is difficult for people who don't understand the subtle difference between guaranteed-latency schedulers, and real-time systems.

Clang is great for a lot of application level things performance wise, but firmware is often not one of those use-cases for really good reasons.

I guess it is true what they say, one day you must become a historian if you are around long enough. lol =3
Thankfully this hiccup style seems less common in recent code. ie. where the index in the vector has a hidden meaning.. Now vectors are typically used for array of the same datatype. I think this makes more sense as basically if you see a vector, you can shove it in to map/filter/etc.

People now prefer using maps - even if it's a bit more verbose. Not sure why records fell out of fashion. You get the terseness of hiccup and the named keys of maps

I've been an active Tailscale user for years now, preaching the Gospel of Wireguard Control Planes to all who will listen (and many who won't) in both my personal and professional life.

It's been really disheartening to watch the steady enshittification of Tailscale, Inc. I knew it was coming with 100% certainty once they raised 100mil in 2022. It's still heartbreaking because the product itself is quite good.

The worst part is because Tailscale, Inc got there "first" (I know nebula existed before Tailscale did. shut up, okay?) and now the other competitors like NetMaker, NetBird, are all following almost the exact same business model ("open core+" - open source client and some kind of claim to an open source control plane with infinity caveats to funnel enterprise dollarydoos back to the vulture capitalists)
The EEVDF scheduling algorithm is also a good example. Designed back in 1995 and it's the default process scheduler of Linux now.
Recently I scanned all 1,100 rolls of film that my father and I took, for a total of 31,600 frames. For the 35mm film I used a Nikon Super CoolScan 5000 ED, and for the medium format rolls I used an Epson Perfection 2480 photo scanner (flatbed). I had purchased these scanners about 20 years ago, but they are still going strong and produce great quality scans. They are slow and require manually feeding each strip of film; every frame takes about a minute to scan and process, especially if you enable filtering to enhance image quality. The Epson is also great at scanning prints, although I had negatives for most of what I scanned so I didn't need to scan many prints.

After scanning everything, my endgame was to look through all the images, copy the best into a separate folder, crop and edit them, and produce a book. I made a dozen copies of the book and mailed them to all my relatives. The original negs are stored safely away, and I have a hard drive (with multiple backups) available in the event somebody wants me to send them a scan.

Long story short, I would take the time to do it manually. Even with an automated scanner, the chances of things going wrong is fairly high, especially if your prints vary greatly in size and condition (bends, warps, etc.). Yes, it is a ton of work, but the end results are worth it. If 10+ seconds per photo is too much for you, just bite the bullet and send them out to a scanning service.
This was done to me. They even called me imitating google security team by using google assistant feature and using a free trial to register my own phone number as the business name then calling via Google to get assistant to call me repeatedly showing up as google. Eventually I picked up as I was also get simultaneously account recovery requests on my gmail. AND they sent me DKIM verified emails that appear to come from google themselves. I recorded the phone conversation if LE might be interested. The combination of there existing an account on workspaces, verified emails, and spoofed google caller ID from numbers that superficially appear to be actually google numbers - you have to read closely that they are Google Assistant numbers! was pretty convincing initially, they had be for a few minutes on the call. And they tell you your account is having it’s phone number changed, we need to do something now or it will take a long time to recover it. I didn’t fall for it but then I pretended I was and put on a big show. I have a long recording with their voice and timestamps of everything.

Anyway the incident shook me as they also gave me my personal information to prove they are real and it was accurate and kept saying look we aren’t asking you for information we are telling you yours so you see we are Google Security!

It has triggered for me a giant project to carefully review all my attack surfaces across all accounts and systems.

My mom lived in a historical house when she was a kid in the 60s. Since then, the house has become a museum. There are a lot of "artifacts" on display that "came from the 1800s" that are actually just toys my moms brothers made. My mom got a good laugh about it when she took me to visit the place.

I'm sure these finds must have dated in some way to verify the authenticity, but I always think back to seeing my uncles toys on display as if they were historical artifacts when I see stuff like this.
