Highlighting because it's important. We recently got a totally free and open payments system, probably hundreds of them in fact, and they're a disaster. All the inequity and risk that any money system inherently possesses, with zero protections for anyone involved and zero recourse if you're robbed blind, unless of course you're wealthy in which case the people actually in charge who insist they aren't in charge will write a whole bunch more code to give you you're money back even though that's not how this works for anyone else. And that's not even getting into the fact that every seven transactions used as much electricity as Visa uses per minute to handle hundreds of thousands.
Almost this exact sequence worked for me.
I don't really use X, but I still have an account because it's just more convenient to view stuff with an account, and for better or worse, sometimes I want to view what people are saying. Typically I don't really bother flagging stuff, but recently I flagged two posts which seemed very obviously beyond the pale to me:

"Zelensky is an expert on false flags (he is jewish, obviously) like Bucha" [1]

"Still think it's because they are "Muslim"? Wake up. Same story in every continent on global Earth. Southern equatorial dark skins have a higher demographic percentage of low IQ and low impulse control future criminals. It's not worth mixing. https://t.co/D0lQuEUV8L" [2] (context here is the competitive racism riots in Britain last week, which makes it even worse IMO)

Both flags were denied.

Now, I don't really know about this specific disagreement or if blocking those accounts is reasonable or not, the story doesn't really have enough specifics on that. "Spreading fake news and hate messages" from governments can be used over-zealously or even in bad faith, but if the platform also doesn't do anything about naked unambiguous racism and antisemitism, then we clearly can't trust X on this either.

> The court should

Why? This seems to have been very effective in both accomplishing the court’s goals in this case, and improving life in Brazil a bit in general.
So what. Getting jobs isn't a problem here, on the contrary.
Notably we got this far on the GPL which we are now burning to the ground in pull up the ladder behind us fashion. It seems to be taking people a while to notice that open source is moribund.

That the blow has been dealt largely by Microsoft (courtesy of GitHub and OpenAI) may explain the delayed recognition of this intellectual catastrophe.
Here in EU (south-east France, north-west Italy to be more precise) most chargers seems operational though they are ALL an immense amount of crapware crap, many with mandatory dysfunctional apps, some with a hell of different smart-cards one per network plus roaming agreements.

Essentially most reliability issues here cane from the client crapware, not the charger itself. Maybe a three-phase main distribution plus HVDC dedicated for quick chargers help, but all issues I found are not electrical and some are really ridiculous like a mandatory dysfunctional app in a zone very bad covered by mobile networks where you can start charging after many efforts, than you are trapped, you have to stop the charge from car to remove the plug and your charging session remain open for restarting a charge on the same credit card and no other question asked. Customer services that IF they respond to their 24/7/365 "call us when you want, we are here to help" they say they can't identify the charger you are at and so on.

Essentially the "engineering parts" it's essentially ok here, the "business and business software part" deserve the use of napalm.

Criminals facing the judicial system (and others doing crazy things to avoid it) is what's being considered a judicial dictatorship in Brazil by some. Crazy times.

Many jurisdictions, including EU, China, and others, require data on their citizens to be hosted locally.
Should they also specify if it works in QQ Browser? What about Safari? Baidu Browser?

I argue that specifying where it doesn't work is pretty stupid. Just specify what you tested it on. It works on those and may or may not work on others. If you'd like it to work on other browsers you can see if you can contact the author to help them with financial support to get the other ones working.
>Uber was an illegal taxi service

That claim is at best, speculative. According to wikipedia they won every case brought against them, so as far as the law is concerned they didn't do anything illegal.

>Taxi companies sued Uber in numerous American cities, alleging that Uber's policy of violating taxi regulations was a form of unfair competition or a violation of antitrust law.[80] Although some courts did find that Uber intentionally violated the taxi rules, Uber prevailed in every case, including the only case to proceed to trial.[81]

Brazilian here. If anyone wants a great introduction to the context and the bigger picture, there's this great article from the NYT in 2022, written by an excellent reporter who lives in Brazil. I highly recommend this article to anyone who hasn't lived in Brazil for the last 10 years:

"To Defend Democracy, Is Brazil’s Top Court Going Too Far?"

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/09/26/world/americas/bolsonaro-...

https://archive.is/plQFT

It covers the judge at the center of the current issue: "Mr. Moraes has jailed five people without a trial for posts on social media that he said attacked Brazil’s institutions. He has also ordered social networks to remove thousands of posts and videos with little room for appeal. And this year, 10 of the court’s 11 justices sentenced a congressman to nearly nine years in prison for making what they said were threats against them in a livestream."

Rumble has been blocked in Brazil for over a year, and WhatsApp and Telegram have been briefly blocked multiple times.
In my opinion this needs more examples. Currently I’m not sure why I would use this over Axum or ActixWeb.
Its a pseudonym but I dont have any educational content in my real name either, this is my first attempt to contribute.

But the amount of quality content on youtube has been increasing steadily over the years, If I had to recommend 3, I'd say Grant Abbitt (Beginner), Erindale (Geonodes), Ian Hubert (for Inspiration).
I hope that these media companies realize sooner than later, that if their content is AI generated, there’s no reason to go there. We’ll just skip the middlemen and go straight to OpenAI or whatever. No need to go to their site.
That’s why you’ve heard of Napster, and Shawn and Sean have money.

People did get in trouble for pirating content. That you don't know any of them personally is irrelevant. I don't personally know anyone who got radiation poisoning, so I suppose radiation is not toxic?

Anyway, you downloading torrents is in no way "hammering out a gray area". It's just you being a small fish and slipping under the radar. The area is just as gray as before. Try to do something significant with the pirated content, as the AI startups do, and you'll immediately get trouble.
No we don’t, and I’m working on solving this problem. There’s no reason for a pure SaaS company to pay these middlemen if the only thing they buy and sell is software. Software vendors can settle accounts directly like banks do, we just need something like an ACH for SaaS. And I’ve been thinking a lot about how to do this while having the equivalent of a petrodollar to create underlying value based on a commodity. For example a meta currency for compute credits that is cloud agnostic.
If you look at the best National ID systems in Europe, effective it’s all leveraging PKI. It needs a name, of course (National ID) and a purpose, however the entire core of these systems rest on PKI

- JS object appears to be at least 2x faster than document.createElement() (Chrome)

- Note: JS object only loosely represents JSX element so it is a bit unfair. But with actual JSX objects I would assume it is still somewhat faster than the DOM API.

https://youtu.be/DgVS-zXgMTk&t=1532

- Pete Hunt, one of the React devs, says "JSX is faster than the DOM because it is JS memory."
what would happen if a US company, with US servers, ignored those requirements?
Depends on whether you want to use their services? If you live somewhere where it's easy to just instantly transfer funds form one bank to another for free (e.g. you live in the Netherlands), then no: none of those companies need to exist in your world.

If you live anywhere else, all these companies are offering services that banks don't, or charge much more for. Or these days, don't even offer themselves, they literally outsource it (e.g. sending money from one bank to another is now a built-in-third-party-service in the form of agreements with Interac to handle low value EFTs).

So can you rival them? Probably. Will you fail? More likely than not. Is there lack of real competition? Depends on where you live, but yeah the whole reason they got this big is because they found a real problem and solved it, charging just enough for people to go "well that's still worth it for me".
ostensibly Napster is the exception that makes the rule, etc.
Being open worked in your case because, as an interviewer, you answered in an open, honest way. The article is about uncovering the truth when the interviewers are being cagey.

If there isn't reason to suspect that the truth is being glossed over, being direct is a simpler, clearer path. But if things sound too good to be true, you may need to figure out how to get more information, like open-ended questions. I'd follow that up with probing questions to dig deeper towards anything that sets off your spider-senses (but ask in a nice way and continue to present a friendly vibe).

I think this is very similar to being on the interviewing side. People talk about impressive projects they worked on, but that could mean they contributed to a small part of the project or they had real responsibility for the project and its execution. Everyone is putting their best foot forward so you have to ask follow-up questions and dig to uncover the truth.
UI is not a pure function of state[0], "UI state" is relatively stable and does not have to be recreated constantly when data input changes.

[0] https://blog.metaobject.com/2018/12/uis-are-not-pure-functio...

>you want to be able to reevaluate your templates repeatedly with new state

No you don't. It is inefficient and increases complexity. You then have to extract and keep track of state yourself where the platform/UI components could have done much of this themselves.

Calling the same method over and over again is wasteful.

So we don't do that.

First, we did not start with the obviously incorrect premise that the UI is a simple "pure" function of the model. Except for games, UIs are actually very stable, more stable than the model. You have chrome, viewers, tools etc. What is a (somewhat) pure mapping from the model is the data that is displayed in the UI, but not the entire UI.

So if we don't make the incorrect assumption that UIs are unstable (pure functions of model), then we don't have to expend additional and fragile effort to re-create that necessary stability.
I wouldn't call it mollycoddling. I can understand why people make that mistake. Interfaces should be designed to reduce the chance of mistakes as much as possible, under the knowledge that people (including you!) make mistakes. They shouldn't be designed under the assumption that people always read and understand the manual and never make mistakes.

That's why we don't do `load` and `load_safe`; we do `load` and `load_unsafe`.
There are countless systems and they all answer that question differently.

Thanks for the comprehensive analysis, quite interesting.

I disagree about the trade-off in convenience tho, React programming model (especially related to managing state) is quite confusing, verbose and error-prone.

Multiple useless re-renders are the norm.

useEffects inside the body of functions a very poor way to manage the lifecycle of a component and this is way simpler with Lit.

All in all, just for it to be more like React pre-15 I would choose Lit.
Are we just going to ignore all the people that were camping in front of military barracks? The manifesto that was going around in the Army, in support of a coup to prevent Lula from taking power? How the US government, thanks to Biden, pressured generals in Brazil to uphold democracy (which means if Trump was president, there might have been a successful coup?).

We have the documents. We have the witnesses. Don't play disingenuous games and try to gaslight us that it is all in our heads. Alexandre de Moraes will go down in Brazilian history as a men who did everything to keep Brazil a democracy.
I spend a lot of time on Youtube, I watch live trials, so this helps a lot, thanks!

As I noted elsewhere in the thread, Android Auto only works when your app is distributed through the Play store. Side loading doesn't get the correct signature to do that.
Elon is not blocking Brazilian internet traffic to X. He is removing their assets from the country physically, from the article it looks like that means divesting of legal resources

quote
> X claims Moraes secretly threatened one of its legal representatives in the South American country with arrest if it did not comply with legal orders to take down some content from its platform. Brazil's Supreme Court, where Moraes has a seat, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

> The X service remains available to the people of Brazil, billionaire Elon Musk's platform said on Saturday.
This isn’t a very scathing point when it comes to hobby projects where someone has limited time to test in multiple configurations, so they recommend the one they use when they developed it.

PostgreSQL is good for many things and default to PostgreSQL and use something else if clearly justified is a sound advice, but assuming there is no room for anything else but PostgreSQL is not.
I've heard of other failed companies too; that's not saying much. Did the founders make money off Napster? How?
Huh, the name collisions won't be confusing at all...

Here's hoping for a cease & desist of the use of the name, because I don't feel like having to filter through all the Rustian examples when I search for how to solve something in the actual Spring context.
You speak as if institutions didn't exist.
Napster is an amazing example. They are a massive success story.

Sean Parker is doing great. It worked out for him.

So the point stands. If you get serious traction, the worst that can happen is your current company goes under, years down the line, after you have cashed out and you then fail upwards into being a successful tech celebrity.

This is all a much better outcome than nobody caring about your product, as you "followed the rules", hampered yourself, and ended up with zero users.
Elon has said he’s more of a centrist. So it’s always amusing to see the far left brand him as far right because he opposes their radical ideology.

This was all superchargers. Across two different providers no less.

Yet not all of them, so it wasn't a common cause as such.

edit: This was one of the worse cases, but it's not infrequent I experience at least one charger at a station out of service. I would say it's rather seldom I charge on a station where all chargers work.
> In other words, you cheated. Those aren’t instructions you would give to a child.

No, but you are cheating by shifting the goal-posts like that.

You previously wrote:

> The fact that a child can do this an LLM cannot proves that the LLM lacks some general reasoning process which the child possesses.

I'm literally showing you an LLM doing what you said LLMs couldn't do, and which you used as your justification for claiming it "lacks some general reasoning process which the child possesses".

Well here it is, doing the thing.

Note that at no point here have I tried to claim that AI are fast learners here, or exactly like humans — we also don't give kids, as I said in another comment about rats, 50,000 years of subjective experience reading the internet to get here — but the best models definitely demonstrate the things you're saying they can't do.

look up Red ocean vs blue ocean.

Even if it was, there are better uses for a "decade with enough funding" unless you have some competitive advantage, like you're the CEO of Chase Bank or something. If you want to know how possible it is, consider that Bitcoin was released in 2009 and cryptocurrency's success at being used for payments - in the history of the world - it has been used for payments between people for something other than crimes, but adoption is way behind visa. Like, that alternative system exists (albeit not for free either) and there's no adoption. So the "billions" aren't exactly a market inefficiency. They make billions, but out of your life, how much do you pay to them. And then, do they perform a valuable service and charge money for that? Would you rather go to a bank and get cash and drive it to Amazon's local office, or mail them a cheque? For a fee, there are companies out there that will make it easier and faster and more convenient than that.
They just added custom iterators ("range over func") to the language in 1.23 but somehow missed the obvious opportunity to add e.g. maps.SortedByKeys. It's clunky to write:

for _, k := range slices.Sorted(maps.Keys(m)) {
v := m[k]
_ = v // do something with k and v
}

though, it's not as bad as before:

keys := make([]string, 0, len(m))
for k := range m {
keys = append(keys, k)
}
slices.Sort(keys)
for _, k := range keys {
v := m[k]
_ = v
}

I think that change was for the worse. (Just posted a comment asking for the original title: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41275918)

The subtitle doesn't convey the content of the article nearly as well as the title does. Perhaps you can take a sentence like "PyTorch has been a net negative for scientific computing efforts" which the article does say, or some toned down versino of the original title, but the current title makes it sound like a very different article and felt like clickbait to me.
Regarding takedown demands, Twitter used to publish transparency reports on who was making them, but they stopped after Musk took over.

https://transparency.x.com/en/reports/removal-requests

In the final report 97% of all takedowns were made by Japan, Russia, South Korea, Turkey, and India (from most to least). They also broke down the number of takedowns against verified journalists and news outlets, which was led by India (114 takedowns), Turkey (78), Russia (55), and Pakistan (48), and Brazil was down the list with 8. It would be nice to have a more recent version of this report to see which way the tides have shifted.
