The irony is that its a caricature of rich nepo babies under consumer capitalism vs socialism. In a pure socialist society (good example of this is US government or military jobs) you still work and there wouldn’t be such striking wealth inequality on display.
Google Support Disappoints
I am super annoyed with Google and its support. The situation is like this. I have been deployed to another country last month and returned on 24th of July. I have not changed anything on my Play Store account - shows my country, payment methods are from my country's banks and so on. But when I try to subscribe or buy something from the Play Store it gives me "You are in the wrong country" error. The funny thing is I use a Chromebook, Google TV and use my gmail consistently since I returned. They have all the data to verify or discredit my claim YET support says there are some "discrepancies" and cannot resolve my issue.

This is ridiculous. Here you have a gigantic company which is renowned by use of its data yet it cannot use this data to resolve a problem. The bad part is I cannot move away from Android ecosystem with a snap of my fingers. But they are trying their best.

I don't know what to do so I am writing on HN to see if this is a known thing or something that happens to me only.

Thank you for reading my frustrated rant.
For .NET, it produces "recommended" boilerplate, specifically serialization that uses correctly configured System.Text.Json in source generated mode. This makes it usable in AOT workloads and there have been fixes by Filip Navara to significantly reduce binary size impact.

For other languages, I suppose it's an organizational effort within MS to standardize and consolidate SDK generation to produce consistent experience.

More on .NET, last time I compared OpenAPI generator options - other generators did not do this or did it in a worse way.

Even still, I do not consider Kiota to have the kind of UX that .NET deserves.

For example, to consume gRPC-based API, your workflow is just:

dotnet add package Grpc.Tools
dotnet add package Grpc.Net.Client
dotnet add package Google.Protobuf
# add <Protobuf Include="myapi.proto" /> to .csproj

That's it - the client is generated transiently and is a part of the project without getting in your way, I have a small shell script to do it as a one-liner. And maintaining a dependency of an application on a remote API of this kind is also easy if .proto is available via git - add it as a submodule or a subtree and just bump commits automatically (or manually if review is needed).

You never need to manually re-generate and possibly re-reference or re-publish a separate client package for this to work. The sheer convenience of this at both individual and organizational level alone makes a compelling case for choosing gRPC over REST, architectural preferences notwithstanding.

Last time I checked, Kiota required much more effort and ceremony. I understand that it's a "big generator to rule them all" that made to address both simple one-off APIs and ginormous Azure SDK, but .NET has all necessary building blocks to have similar or even better UX to what gRPC tooling provides. I suppose, it's just a matter of doing it and promoting the project.

I think the barrier to commercialization is the lack of demonstrated economic value to having push button splats. There's no shortage of small teams wiring together open source splats / NeRF / whatever papers; there's a dearth of valuable, repeatable businesses that could make use of what those small teams are building.

Would it be cool to just have content in 3D? Undoubtedly. But figuring out a use case, that's where people need to be focusing. I think there are a lot of opportunities, but it's still early days -- and not just for the technology.
Liberty Lifter
You are very right. Good Hardware/Software Engineers are cost aware at some appropriate level which may not be the detailed bean-counter level. For example, I used to interact with Marketing/Sales folks to get some data on unit cost, sales targets etc. which i then used as motivation to better focus on prioritizing features and time frames. Nothing clears your mind of irrelevant data then knowing what exactly matters as the bottom-line for a company.

At Home in Your Firmware: Analysis of CVE-2024-36877
Contributions to a fork could be done under just the AGPL, without any CLAs (also to the original repo, but those won't be accepted). Then the entire fork is effectively AGPL only.
I don't think any original CLAs would apply to the fork, unless the fork owner is the same legal entity/successor as defined in there.
Same goes for the original authors, they'd need CLAs from all fork contributors.
Axios: A Promise-Based HTTP Client for Browser and Node.js
A GPU is useful, but DSP's are also still useful - for example there is a compelling case to have frameworks around such as AudioFlux, JUCE and others, in order to support portability and also realtime analysis competitively, which is important in this domain, where such things as Qualcomms' ADK, and others, is quite literally being put inside peoples ears...

Not to say that big-AI shouldn't have audio analysis as a compelling sphere of application, but more that, until the chips arrive, in-ear AI is less of a specification/requirement, than in-ear DSP.

We don't need AI to isolate discrete audio components and do things with them, in-Ear. Offline/big-AI, however, is still compelling. But we don't yet have GPU neckbands ..
Goodness. I never realized how nostalgic it would feel to flip channels. Your project took me all the way back to being a kid in the 90s and clicking through channels on the TV at my grandparents' house after school.

I love it when I unexpectedly encounter something that turns on the nostalgia in such a deep way. Awesome project.

Do I love it because of the nostalgia, or is there something novel here worth exploring further?

> I was talking about the actual rules in the physical world. These exist independent of us. They function, they don't predict.

Nobody knows what those are though; mere humans have to get by with prediction.

In fact there's no airtight reason to think that you can even in principle make the leap from valid predictions to knowing what the actual physical rules really are. This is the whole "problem of induction" thing:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Problem_of_induction

No amount of observing the universe can ever conclusively prove that our ideas about how it really functions are true, because we're stuck inside it and can't directly inspect the clockwork, if there is any.

IDK if your area is just really different than mine, but getting glasses at around age 9 in the mid-90s absolutely killed, permanently, whatever coolness I had, and with it, my self-confidence died that day too.

They were hideous frames, but honestly I don't think any frames would have been considered 'cool' where I was.

To this day I hate glasses. Since discovering how easy it is to wear contacts at 26, I only wear glasses between the bathroom and bed.
> This assumes that the other person has a "thinking style" that is compatible with yours

No one has a thinking style compatible with mine. Communication is difficult, but the whole point is to share adopt novel ways of thinking. By the end of the conversation, both participants' "thinking styles" have changed.

Sure, some folks' lexicon and mental models might overlap more, but there's no one (speaking English) from whom I can't learn. Reminds me of that old line "you can't get there from here!" which I always considered funny, but you're saying it's true?

Wish I knew more about these "thinking styles" you're talking about, because I've never met someone I couldn't communicate with (in English).

Since the author is reading here, one feature request: Please put a volume slider on it and also make a mouse wheel scroll on any part of the page change the volume.

I think it's the lack of timeshift which triggers me so much, since it's a somewhat standard feature on TVs. No way to pause makes me a bit anxious. I have a bad habit of nesting YT videos, where I pause one, watch another, pause that one, watch another, when it finishes I go back to the previously paused one and so on until I end up watching the first video to the end.

Theoretically you could add a per-client timeshift feature.

An actually cool use case of AI. Congrats on the launch.

Some questions:

1) I’m assuming by “personalizing discount across users”, you mean personalized one-time coupon codes? I wonder if the UX of seeing one price in regular Chrome and one in incognito would be upsetting. I also don’t know how price discrimination works but seems relevant?

2) I’d love to understand more about how for smaller retailers there’ll be enough data to make meaningful discount programs for a limited set of consumers? Will data from similar/multiple retailers be bucketed?

3) Any numbers/data on effectiveness so far?
This is a good idea for this app, but maybe the least realistic part of the old TV experience. You'd have maybe 3 "premium" channels of a mix of tv shows, news, talk shows, sports. Maybe a dedicated sports channel and dedicated news channel. A channel more biased towards educational shows. A channel or two of weird low-budget shows (local access). A few channels that don't come in well (static and distortion). And add some off-air "colorbars" sometimes. And a channel or two in a foreign language.

And then force the user to get off the couch and walk to the monitor to turn a knob when you want to change channel...

You're forgetting the frequent tragedies of mass school shootings that are more or less an entirely American phenomenon and affect innocent people at random.

The knock-on effect of these events in American communities must be horrific. How many victims who survive them directly or who lose their loved ones to them fall into deaths by despair or go on to live severely blunted lives that cause them to act out in ways that are detrimental to your society?

That's but a microcosm of the kind of stuff that Americans deal with that people in other countries don't. It isn't normal and it isn't something that your average citizen can just avoid by choosing better.

> Major Major's father was a sober God-fearing man whose idea of a good joke was to lie about his age. He was a long-limbed farmer, a God-fearing, freedom-loving, law-abiding rugged individualist who held that federal aid to anyone but farmers was creeping socialism. He advocated thrift and hard work and disapproved of loose women who turned him down.

> His specialty was alfalfa, and he made a good thing out of not growing any. The government paid him well for every bushel of alfalfa he did not grow. The more alfalfa he did not grow, the more money the government gave him, and he spent every penny he didn't earn on new land to increase the amount of alfalfa he did not produce.

> Major Major's father worked without rest at not growing alfalfa. On long winter evenings he remained indoors and did not mend harness, and he sprang out of bed at the crack of noon every day just to make certain that the chores would not be done. He invested in land wisely and soon was not growing more alfalfa than any other man in the county. Neighbors sought him out for advice on all subjects, for he had made much money and was therefore wise. “As ye sow, so shall ye reap,” he counseled one and all, and everyone said, “Amen.

There used to be a cool project called pydump that was designed to save debugs from one place (say production) and then let you investigate them later.

It hasn't been maintained for a while and doesn't support saving non-locally so I thought I'd hack something together.

I have no idea how good an idea actually saving production bugs would be. But this was a fun way to learn about tracebacks.

Good luck trying to find a thunderbolt cable unless you already know they categorize it as a "Mac Accessory - Charging Essentials". Lots of big carousels showing a sum total of 3 items at a time, and you better know the what a thunderbolt cable looks like, and don't mistake it for "merely" a usb3 charging cable. Or the 0.5m vs 1m.

Or using a mac - window management issues aside (it seems to encourage wasting screen space and peer at a tiny window in the middle of a massive screen....) - the "settings" app is a joke. A huge list of sections on the left, grouped seemingly arbitrarily, with a "Search" that only really works is you already know the exact wording of the option you're looking for. But hey, it's got fancy icons, so I guess that's nice.

This is all a bit tongue in cheek - using a mac to write this. All UX is "bad" in different ways IMHO. "Objectively best" UX is a pipe dream.
If I accept their license on 2024-08-14 to use their software, they can do whatever they want to the license after that, but they won't be able to revoke my license to use the code as of 2024-08-14 under the license present to me on 2024-08-14.

I suspect the distributed cracking will move to the same pattern as the SMTP/pop3 brute force guys did and use one IP per x+1 seconds where x=the ssh penalty window. We have seen this on our customer facing smtp server where we have hundreds of remote compromised IPs trying each one password per 30-60min. Still, I welcome this change as there are enough single prick attackers out there where this will help cut down on the size of the logs to process / digest.

>Again, I just don't get it.

The point is, ship it.

Seriously, nobody is lugging a GPU around to interact with their most frequently used micro-computing platform, their headphones, which right now, already represent a new and extraordinary era of "accelerated component" market expansion.

The 7 microphones in your earpiece, and the 6 speakers pushing air into your head, are not quite as close to the GPU, as they need to be, perhaps .. but they already have a DSP, and there is already a silicon battle going on among the vendors.

>You can't do this with these C++ features.

Yes, and I think the point in the end, is to use AI to write better C++ code, and design better, cheaper, smarter silicon, as always (and actually ship it) ..

Which means essentially nothing. Most questions where alignment matter do not have a "true" answer, just a social consensus.

You don't need an "aligned" AI to tell you the distance between the Earth and the Moon. You need an "aligned" AI to tell you not to rape people even if you can get away with it, that's because the idea that rape is bad is not an objective truth based on the laws of nature, it is a "social consensus".

My impression as an outsider is that America is the kind of country where a sizeable minority of people believe it is very important they be able to ride a motorbike without a helmet.

Not necessarily because they personally want to ride a motorbike - but as a matter of principle. That government should govern as little as possible, that the fewer laws there are the more freedom people have, and that if you're not harming others the government should get out of your way.

They would say if while riding a motorbike without a helmet you should crash and die that's tragic, but the price of freedom is that sometimes people will make bad decisions.

I don't agree with this personally - but I can understand why American lawmakers would have a bias towards inaction.
>"prove via intel that the SHA of the software running on the machine is XYZ"

This is exactly the purpose of MRENCLAVE in Intel SGX remote attestation quotes (and similar fields in other TEE platforms), and proving the software identity to remote clients is a common use case.

Well I can assure you that is not what happened. Our team tried to come up with a telemetry design that set a higher bar for privacy preservation than the norms of the industry (including Google), something so safe that it would be acceptable to enable by default. Of course, the community rejected it and that plan died. But the "suits" at Google afford our team enough autonomy to act in the best interests of the Go community.
