I signed up for beta testing of UO and beta of roadrunner cable modem and I still have the Beta cd and cable modem. I bet you can narrow down what city I was in from that but oh well. I might still even have that old acer pentium 75 in the attic that was delivered damaged to my employer and was comped by ups insurance and taken to my personal dumpster and fixed by yours truly. my first very own computer. I learned to program on that thing and got a bank job just a few months later. gradually this has taken me around the world in 8 different countries for long on-site implementations. I even have dual citizenship now and live by the sea in a nice hot place. I was 19 years old when it kicked off. I blame the video games for all this. Btw did you know Time Bandits movie was a heavy influence on Ultima? And is Marvel's multiverse concept inspired by Ultima sharding also? I would bet a dollar. Well everytime I think about portability and scalability problems I am sure UO is back there somewhere influencing my work.

Hmmmm, out of context, no? We were talking about giving stars to products and services here. Amazon has this somewhat solved with the "verified purchase" badge and "zero fake reviews tolerance".

As far as freedom of speech is concerned, in my personal opinion, the transparency has to go both ways, meaning, the government has to guarantee the freedom of speech, and that given social network has to have a given purpose and sane limits, but also, to be protected from the intruders and prying eyes. A tough nut to crack where we, as a society, are in infantile stages right now.
Haha-ha hoow do you know?
Writing non-trivial programs is easier in Rust than in C, for people that are equally proficient in C as in Rust. Especially if you're allowed to use Cargo and the Rust crates ecosystem.

C isn't even in the same league as Rust when it comes to productivity – again, if you're equally proficient in Rust as in C.
According to the article, this is how the the strategy was rethought:

> This spring, top executives held a meeting at company headquarters. The result was a new edict, according to two people familiar with the details, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss an internal gathering. Apple’s studio would make one or two event-size films a year, with big budgets and expansive theatrical releases. The rest of its films would have budgets of $80 million or less, the people said.

It puts into context how generously Apple was funding prestige cinema and TV before. I always wondered how long it would last – it _seemed_ like iPhone sales was propping up a lot of TV and filmmaking for a while. (It's only possible to speculate here: Apple hides everything under the "Services" line item in their public filings, and it looks like Apple's been notoriously opaque even with top creatives [1].)

I can confirm coming across the exact same kind of profile, but in Europe. Most we found on LinkedIn keyword searches, some applied directly. I've taken a couple of interviews to confirm and indeed it was a scam, they didn't know anything about the country, the companies, or the schools in their resume. Also they were all East Asian, with implausible names and origin stories.

Many times the signs are rather obvious, the keywords are right but everything about the profile is just off and doesn't stand to even a bit of scrutiny. I suspect it's done on purpose, just like Nigerian scams, to optimize for gullible or inattentive companies.
With regards to lexical scope, yes elisp has that now, but it didn't for so long that a ton of existing code, including the standard library and editor interfaces was written without it, and there is a TON of global state.

I guess they are claiming they can make it better. Which given the team is likely. Making a CPU, specially one which is validated on a process, is a hard problem. There is definitely room for improvement for RISC-V processors.
I get that at some point you have to put food on the table, but why conflate the enterprisey, economical, object-oriented mess of things with your hobby?

You can, in theory, still program elegant little side projects with no pretense of business value or any customer besides, maybe, yourself.

I find that my work-coding and hobby-coding are different enough that they don't even feel like the same activity

The main reason they're doing this to create a buffer zone to prevent Russia from bombing their civilians.

If the west had allowed Ukraine to use their weapons on Russian soil they could've used those to accomplish the same, but here we are and they're doing what the can.

Another reason is to destabilize Russia and to show the world that Ukraine can fight back.

That is not true on Linux, where you can just make syscalls yourself. They don't even use the C ABI, even if it's pretty similar (For syscalls, the fourth argument is passed in R10 instead of RCX, since that holds the return address for sysret).
Personally I agree but statistically we're both wrong.
continue(yc) is an open source vscode extension. The best thing about cursor is their auto complete feature, their own fine-tuned model. It will be a while for others to build something close to it.
Over here in the real world of bottom 10% firing company cultures: those top engineers are leaving the company because they are tired of the culture of infighting and backstabbing, because setting up to others to fail and blaming them is just as effective as doing good work. Also, your super helpful generalist collaborator just got fired because everyone on your small team is highly performing and top down ruling was to fire 1/10 of each team.

I cannot think of a successful tech company that is still applying the GE 10% management style. It has consistently been shown to fail.
> there not too much innovation required to compete

Yeah, sure.

This is the kind of mentality which lead us to "Cloud" being developed by an online book seller and not hosting companies. Then those hosting companies needed 10 years for open source solutions to be available to close some of the gap. Next time a random company disrupts the hosting market, it won't come from hosting companies because "there not too much innovation required to compete" and those companies will wonder what is going on.

My working theory is that by making it difficult for the average user to activate end-to-end encrypted chats, especially compared to industry standards, and by positioning the service as an 'anything goes' platform, Mr. Durov might have created the world's largest Kompromat machine.

It's amazing the EU has lasted this long really. The USA tried something somewhat similar back in 1781, and it was a complete failure: they organized a bunch of sovereign states (formerly colonies, but they became sovereign states after the Revolutionary War just before) into a confederation, where the central government had no real power at all. The resulting country couldn't even defend itself against pirates. They finally got sick of it in 1789 and threw out this form of government in favor of a constitutional republic with a much stronger federalized government. Over 235 years later, that form of government still persists, though it's really showing its warts and the Constitution really needs a rewrite IMO, but despite its enormous flaws in the modern age it's still a lot better than the decentralized mess that is the EU. If you want real economic power in the face of competing superpowers, you need centralized policy and authority, not a bunch of semi-sovereign states all squabbling with each other and no one able to make a decision.
Yeah, not sure how you'd measure this apart from asking people to tag feature re-adds. And all that will happen is that people will decide that something is actually a new feature rather than a re-add because the threshold has already been hit this quarter. Literally adding work for no benefit.

It looks like the person doing the copying didn't even bother to change the pictures properly (the background does not match). So I think if your great project lives on, this copy work is going to be just a bad and unsuccessful fork, maybe even one of few. Don't spend too much effort on this and just try to focus on your own project.
It makes perfect sense in context. You're assuming that the bottom % of engineers drag things down because they're bad. That's not what it's about.

Some companies imposed rather brutal policies of "we do an annual review and sack the bottom x% of employees". This is done irrespective of whether they are bad, or simply the lowest strata (by your, possibly flawed, estimation) but still good. Because workers often don't know which group they will fall into, it produces enormous stress throughout. Few people like working under those conditions so those that can, leave. Who will that be? Those most able to leave. Who were they? Your best workers. Goodbye top tier...

Be aware that some people who contribute least to the bottom line are actually still very useful.

This kind of management brutality I believe is mostly died out now, for good reason.
> Is this sarcasm? Do you want ‘extra’ life inside your body

Not at all: perfectly serious. We are in a system surrounded by living entities - some innocuous, some threatening, some helpful, some being the threatening food of helpful ones...

Your body already hosts living entities that live with you symbiotic. Some of them have the extremely important role to keep the worse others at bay through geopolitical control (you remove them, the damaging ones have free course...).

There are many more things around you than «tapeworms and other parasites». And they could be active part of a system (which could get unbalanced without a part).

So: before stating e.g. that all other life (e.g. in the air) should be wiped out, an intellectual inquiry about the model must be given. You do not embrace what superficially sounds like a good idea.
Well surprise, surprise.

It will be hex editor -> assembler -> tinycc -> dozer -> latest rust so should absolutely be doable or am I missing something?
> the top end of performance is not great

I wonder how much is possible on that level. Not an expert myself, but I've read a critique on RISCV ISA by a ISA designer [1] which I think mentioned several design choices that may make it more difficult optimize for performance (e.g. longer pipelines, issues with branch prediction), an easy to understand issue is explained in the introduction of that critique.

As far as I know there is no legal restriction on carrying lighters in the UK.
Several of them have been reporting improvements over the past couple years in the weekly Matrix development blog, and I know at least one of them has both search and embedded images. You might want to have another look some time.
Related topic that I dug into was “how long did destroyed equipment lay around during WW2?”.

There were tank battles (especially in Russia) where hundreds of tanks on both side were effectively destroyed. Now add in trucks, towed and mobile guns, etc.

I was curious. Were they abandoned and scavenged for money after the war? Did they stay there and rust until years as the war? Did militaries take them for spare parts?

Turns out that equipment was very quickly cleaned up when possible. Usually within days/weeks.

Came across this incredibly detailed website with some amazing pictures and in depth information: https://wwiiafterwwii.wordpress.com/2017/02/20/cleaning-up-a...
Why aren't more people talking about cody from sourcegraph? For just 10$/month it offers unlimited completions using top models like sonnet 3.5 and gpt4o. Not to mention, the plugins for vscode and intellij products work perfectly well.
I can think of a market that would prefer heavier emphasis on the cocaine ingredient. To the point that the other ingredients are totally optional.

But for legal reasons I don't want to insinuate which market that is.
> Certain points like the fact that Emacs isn't multithreaded are thrown around by people who don't have the intuition that multithreading isn't the right thing for a lot of applications.

GNU Emacs has a lot of applications where it is the right thing. It's no longer the simple editor. It comes with more than a million lines of Lisp code implementing all kinds of complex features: like various network client applications, IDEs, ...

> Common Lisp+SLIME shares some of this convenience, but not to the extent that Elisp truly does

SLIME is mostly implemented in Emacs Lisp. A lot of other Lisp systems can locate all source code and all documentation. It's not so much a special feature of Emacs Lisp, but its development environment. It's also not necessary that the IDE and Lisp runs in the same process / same machine to be able to look up documentation and code. It may be convenient in GNU Emacs, but any such editor can provide such features for programming language implementations.

I love this space of hybrid computing. If you want to see some inspiration, look at

- bill buxton at Microsoft research
- Disney research has a lot of really cool stuff too
- anything siggraph

- copilot would only predict after the cursor, whereas Cursor predicts nearby edits, which is quite helpful

- copilot-chat was just a chat sidebar last time I used it, you still had to manually apply any code suggestions. cursor will apply changes for you. It's very helpful to have a diff of what the AI wants to change.

It's been a while since i've used copilot though, so copilot chat might be more advanced then i'm remembering.

edit: formatting
Even without the patents, there is a lot in x86 and it would take an order of magnitude more engineers to make a compatible x86 CPU than a RISCV with standard extensions.
The secret backchannel between the US and China
From what I've read, the Apple M chips aren't faster than the very fastest Intel offerings. But it doesn't matter: what matters is how long your laptop will run on battery doing typical laptop work, and the M chips really put the x86 chips to shame here unfortunately. So agreed, what they're great at is power/performance tradeoff.

Absolutely! Everything I design, I basically cast it as ER. I'm not even a backend developer but this is such a useful and universal framing (for me, at least, or so I thought) that I always used to wonder what the "real" backend engineers do.
>(That's me, by the way.)

Oh, didn't know that! They really did you dirty. I'm sorry.

>In some cases, not even "special treatment", but even just the sort of courtesy that they describe as being expected for everyone seems to be withheld.

My experience with a lot of communities is that this courtesy and expectation of argumentation out of good faith is only reserved to those that agree with the politics.

I cannot see most of your posts in the "I'm leaving too" thread, as the benevolent moderators flagged that material as a cognitohazard.

However, I think that by calling out hypocrisy, you have ruled any courtesy extended to you void. I also expect that your criticism of identity politics will be construed as "right-wing dogwhistling" by the powers that be.

As with you, it's happened to me many times, too. I criticize something and I get attacked for "wrongthink". I'm even extremely careful to write this post as I don't want people to use this to paint me as some kind of alt-right ideologue in what I can only describe as a kind of reverse McCarthyism.

My point being: Hang in there. You're not alone.

It's way too complex. But it's possible. I'm in the US, my site will be targeting US users. if you want to do something for EU users with USSD, I'd love to collab, email in profile.
Let's stop repeating this word "moderate" when what we're talking about is censorship.

Moderation is what happens here on HN: Admins have some policies to keep the conversation on track, users voluntarily submit to them.

Censorship is when a third party uses coercion to force admins to submit to them and remove posts against their will.

Durov has been arrested for refusing to implement censorship, not for anything concerning moderation.
> The Ukrainian leadership is so intent on winning at all costs (understandably) that they'd probably knowingly start WW III if they thought doing so would help them win.

I love how the narrative is to place as much blame as possible onto the Ukrainan leadership.

The undertone is of course that Russia should therefore be able to do whatever they want.

Maybe you're not parroting Kremls agenda knowingly, but the effect is the same.
What is your definition of a social network?
As I kid I spent much of a day playing with a Mortar shell in a rock pool on a beach in France. Despite knowing it was a bomb, I assumed it must have decomposed. Was probably not very smart.
Thanks for finding the bug! I've fixed it, but I think I should provide another alternative for adding elements to the editor—like using CMD+K with a dialog or a plus sign icon for mobile UX.
I think it’s having an agile team focused on this. In the past it was because cursor index your code (vector search) so any question you ask the llm has context of your code.
Now it’s the autocomplete feature (their own model). Next i think it will be composer (multi file edit, still in beta).
I got curious and accessed the full paper. The five patterns (so called "R-indices") are:

R1. Subcortical atrophy
• Stress-related gene set
• Pregnancy

R2: MTL atrophy
• Dementia
• CN-MCI-dementia progression
• Amyloid and tau
• Cognitive dysfunction, mainly memory impairment
• Birth weight

R3: Parieto-temporal atrophy
• Dementia; schizophrenia;Parkinson’s; multiple sclerosis
• MCI-dementia progression
• Amyloid and tau
• Cognitive dysfunction, mainlyin executive function
• Pregnancy
• Social/recreational activity

R4: Diffuse cortical atrophy
• Multiple sclerosis
• Smoking and alcohol consumption
• Diet

R5: Perisylvian atrophy
• Multi-organ chronic conditions
• Psychological factors
• Psychiatric diseases
• Cardiovascular factors
• WMH• Mortality risk
• Smoking and alcohol consumption

These patterns were identified using a type of Deep Learning model, the paper then goes on studying the association between different factors (such as chronic diseases) and brain atrophy.

So in conclusion, this study have demonstrated how brain atrophy manifests itself in MRI brain scans and how we can "classify" them into one of five categories (or "patterns", if you like). The gain here is in diagnosis, imagine if a doctor could easily determine that a specific person exhibits " Type 2" atrophy? Much time, money and human suffering could be saved providing the patient with tailored treatment at the get-go.
I used to get called all the time because our in house infrastructure would fall over, and my apps would crash.
It didn’t matter how many times I explained my apps couldn’t run without good infra, and that I wasn’t on that team, and that I had no access or authority to do anything… when my apps when down I got called.

So actually, I really don’t like your idea.
fair, but I mean, money is money, if I could see a way to potentially weasel out of paying what I said I would, in those kind of amounts, is probably give that a shot too.

> I always used to wonder what the "real" backend engineers do.

Think ChatGPT, people aren't there to do CRUD, they are there to talk to the model. Saving the results and what they write is a useful feature so CRUD is still needed, but not the main attraction.

Or any other kind of server that computes something, like a game server, as long as you want to write a server program instead of just storing data.
In France and Belgium, they dig up something like 900 tons on WWI munitions per year. At this pace they estimate that they're done in another 300-700 years. And the decomposing shells leach nasty stuff like mercury and arsenic, poisoning the soil.

You probably don't use Telegram channels much. There are some drug and prostitution related channels you can search for but they disappear rather quickly or are totally empty.

Christo Grozev shared screenshots of a few CSAM channels yesterday, but if you search for them, they do not seem to exist.

Telegram clearly does less pre-moderation than Facebook, but they are smaller and have less computing and they do not seem to rely on the masses of Nigerian moderators that work for 5$/day as Facebook does.
That is not what the license costs even for relatively small deployments.
Yes it does matter is the company is subject to US law or not. There is not 100% security but saying “it does not matter” is manichean and does not reflect reality. Yes the US have a very long arm but it’s all a cost/benefit even for three letter agencies.

Every time they make use of a zero day or a backdoor they run the risk of it being discovered. The harder it is to get a new one, the more they will think twice about using it for mass and low stakes surveillance. A non-US company will be less inclined/forced to cooperate with them, making it harder for them to siphon data out, hence lowering probability.

No one is 100% safe, agreed though. Probabilities and threat models is all we got.
Telegram has secure calls and secure e2e private chats.
All other chats are cloud-backupped.
So if you have an intent of using private communication - the answer is "no", if you don't care - the answer is "yes"

> Well of course, but this is a feature of Telegram. It's the only messaging app where messages are stored on the cloud.

Wrong, Matrix does it too, but fully e2ee.

> and allows you to access your chats from any device.

No it doesn't, because it is possible withh e2ee as well
The only difference between "moderation" and "censorship" is whether you like the policy or not.
