Somewhat random side note - I find it so fascinating that developers invented this myth that they’re the only people who have ‘concentration’ when this is so obviously wrong. Ask any ‘knowledge worker’ or yell even physical labourer and I’m sure they’ll tell you about the productivity of being "in the zone" and lack of interruptions. Back in early 2010s they called it ‘flow’.
These models have been instructed to not talk about certain things. It certainly isn't supposed to teach random people how to manufacture controlled substances.

OpenAI tried to lock it down and someone found a way around that. That's a jailbreak.
My understanding is that the dialysis that are used for Windows tablets work with this, there was one reviewer who was talking about that. On YouTube.
I explained the part of my model that actually exists quite explicitly. Perhaps you are making unwarranted assumptions about my assumptions? (Two can play the snarky pseudo-Socratic question game)
I got a giant usb-controlled traffic light at my first job in Germany for a customer project. They just let me keep it after the project finished, which made me repurpose it as a busy light and it worked wonders except that one person who didn't get the hint.

I've also retained my wisdom teeth, despite some of them not erupting and being impacted. It's certainly easier to get them out when you're young compared to when you're older, but if you've still got them as an adult, it's not worth removing them unless they're causing a problem, even if insurance is paying for it (all procedures can have side-effects).

Yes, it's much harder for a dentist to convince a 30 year old adult than is to convince a 12 year and his helicopter parents.
Well, this is what you stated previously: "there isn't any reason to believe that companies can or even <<<<want>>>> to identify the lowest performers."

And yes, there is at least some evidence to believe they do that identification somewhat successfully: their business is working.

I’m convinced that Aurora’s team consists mostly of sales. There are certainly some talented engineers working on it – I’ve talked to a few – but by and large, all of my interactions with AWS about DB stuff was been them telling me how much better it is than other options.

I’ve tested Aurora Postgres and MySQL against both RDS and native (on my own, extremely old hardware), and Aurora has never won in performance. I’ve been told that “it’s better in high concurrency,” but IMO, that’s what connection poolers are for.
I'm sure you think you can play that game, but that's precisely the problem.

The fundamental confusion here is the notion that, absent one's own personal expert credentials, we have no access to any expertise or authority of any kind that can be brought to bear on this question (funny that that requirement applies only one way).

The vital role of coral in supporting marine ecosystems is a general and well understood phenomenon. So much so that our ordinary access to expertise through science communication in the media, our summary of this understanding as reflected in high school education, and, if needed, in major reports from NGOs is sufficient to address the question and indeed is central to the purpose of those respective institutions. Those are access to pertinent expertise for this kind of question.

I promise you, that this consensus has not overlooked the possibility of everything being made right by adaptations later on as you seem to be implying, and I promise that no version of explanations of evolutionary adaptation has ever taught that adaptation guarantees, as a cosmic law, compensation for the destruction of ecosystems. The same resources noted above are sufficient to dismiss this as an ordinary biology 101 confusion.
If you haven't watched the BBS Documentary [1], you absolutely should. It's a truly special documentary, made by hackers for hackers.

For someone like me who grew up in that era, in a small town in a remote country, having access to BBSes was life-changing. It gave me a window to the world that I otherwise wouldn't have had.

RIP Ward; thank you for everything you did.

Sum the GPU driver and the mandatory LLVM requirement that comes with it, and you already have almost half a gigabyte of text per exec. No wonder that your logic forces you to literally dismiss all GUI applications as "extreme statistical outliers" out of hand.

Table Lookups Are Efficient
In practice, I've seen breakage from shared library updates be much more common than breakage from display resolutions.

Many modern software development paradigms are simply not compatible with ABIs or dynamic binding. Dynamic binding also likely means you're leaving a bunch of performance on the table, since inlining across libraries isn't an option.

If anything, there is a housing cartel that we need an Uber-like blitz (times a million) to destroy. In the same way that Uber ignored local taxi regulations, you would need to ignore local zoning regulations. Just "build, baby, build", become valuable, and then, with your fait-accompli in hand, bribe the various local governments -- just like Uber.

Except -- if it took the combined might of Uber's VCs, and the disposable human battering ram that was Travis Kalanick, just to disrupt the puny little taxi industry, imagine what it would take to change housing. Ain't never gonna happen.
That says pretty much the opposite of what you claim.
IMO the split, although good (the pattern is "sacrifice one person" as per Coplien/Harrision's Organisational patterns book [0]), is too drastic. It should be not defense vs offense 100% with a wall inbetween, but for each and every issue (defense) and/or feature (offense), someone has to pick it and become the responsible (which may or may not mean completely doing it by hirself). Fixing a bug for an hour-or-two sometimes has been exactly the break i needed in order to continue digging some big feature when i feel stuck.

And the team should check the balances once in a while, and maybe rethink the strategy, to avoid overworking someone and underworking someone else, thus creating bottlenecks and vacuums.

At least this is the way i have worked and organised such teams - 2-5 ppl covering everything. Frankly, we never had many customers :/ but even one is enough to generate plenty of "noise" - which sometimes is just noise, but if good customer, will be mostly real defects and generally under-tended parts. Also, good customers accept a NO as answer. So, do say more NOs.. there is some psychological phenomena in software engineering in saying yes and promising moonshots when one knows it cannot happen NOW, but looks good..

have fun!

> Science came along and made much of philosophy obsolete, especially the parts that are now directly addressed by science and engineering projects.

Science (natural sciences) was originally known as "natural philosophy", it was just a branch of philosophy that happened to be successful enough to stop being called philosophy. So arguably there's still a huge amount of value in the philosophical ideas and attitudes that led to such important discoveries.
The US is not in a real danger of becoming an authoritarian state. So any top-level war-mongering is somewhat self-limiting.

I replaced my own bottom bracket!

Ok well, first I destroyed the threads on the cranks meant to interface with the bottom bracket tool. Thus requiring a shop visit. And the shop, after consulting with the frame manufacturer, cut the destroyed cranks off with an angle grinder (and posted a video to their Facebook page - you don't usually see that many sparks in a bike shop).

But hey, I now have a nice, let-the-pros-do-this-job souvenir (the wrecked cranks). And my bracket/bearings are creak-free and spinning quite nicely three years later.
Hasn't it always been this way? When was the last time housing was ever truly affordable for the masses? Even when houses were 'cheap' back in the '60s, wages were so much lower too, and far fewer borrowing options compared to today.
I used to ask the same thing back when car stereos were all the rage --- I wondered why I couldn't get shortwave or SSB or Air/VHF reception and the answer lies in use-case. Yeah, you and I might eat up this super niche product, but the market on the whole would not.
Just look at what electric car makers are doing with AM radio. They're saying "screw RFI problems, we'll not filter those and just remove AM reception from the car radio because who needs that?" The answer is a larger slice of the population than would want other radio services.
Even Apple never enabled the FM receiver feature on their chips from Qualcomm. It's all about the time spend designing it, ensuring it doesn't cause issues with must-have features, is intuitive to access/use, _and_ aligns with buyer demands.

With ham radio making up less than 1% of most countries' populations, the need just isn't there. (Most folks you talk to are doing good just to even be aware of ham radio, let alone actually be a ham.)
It seems that you are worried about cases but there are no witness/proof that is where the truthfulness of accusations is in doubt.

I had mine done in college. I really didn't want to do it.

I would have been totally happy to buck the pressure of "this is what everyone does," but the thing that made me reluctantly agree to it was an explanation that if I didn't, they would bore holes into my then-back teeth as they grew in and I'd have a big problem to deal with.

As I understood it, teeth normally grow straight up, but wisdom teeth grow sideways (with the tops facing the front of your mouth). The wisdom teeth then hit the rest of your teeth and basically bulldoze your mouth.

I have no idea how true/bullshit that is, but it's what I was told to get me to finally acquiesce to the procedure.

Rim brakes/pull-brakes/v-brakes are great even for serious off roading, though you may want to upgrade to long caliper pads, which make a world of difference. Disc brakes aren't helpful until you're doing serious downhill. Why everyone has disc brakes these days when they don't need them is a great question.
I don't know about that. I think there are many different definitions of success here. WP Engine would want to make sure that it's customers are well taken care of and have a solid web hosting experience. That would be success to them. I'm not sure how much they would care about outside users or developers (they might care a lot, but I don't know). But, the real question is -- would a fork benefit their customers?

If the answer is yes, then I expect to see a fork happen quickly. That may be the only way (or best way) for them to keep some degree of control over their system.

I’m honestly not sure what they’ve done wrong (or illegally). But it seems like Mullenweg has alienated a lot of people by what seems to be very erratic behavior.

That’s not true. When someone refers you, they typically submit your CV directly into the company’s system, which can fast-track your application. This usually results in a quicker response from HR or the hiring manager, making it less likely for your application to be ignored.

> I build my programs to be append-only, such that users can always update to new versions with confidence.

And in this wonderful world where developers are competent enough to manage this, and therefore there are no issues when libraries are updated (append-only, right?).... why do you have a problem with shared linking again? Or is this a case where you think yourself as an "above average" programmer?

I've heard that for some people it's exactly the opposite. Standard procedure, IIRC, is to have the arm resting in a position that puts the cuff right about even with your heart. But some people get really big jumps in BP when supine, and I've heard it suggested that doctors might want to start doing their BP tests in that position because those people may not get diagnosed correctly despite spending a third of every day with high blood pressure.

Was Endurance good? I didn't read that one but I did read South. I really enjoyed the first part but became less interested when after the main expedition's story was over there was still a quarter or so of the book left talking about going around and picking up the guys from the other side, which felt a bit anticlimactic after what had already happened.

I had the opposite experience. I told the dentist that I thought my wisdom teeth were causing my migraines, and they said it was possible but unlikely, and didn't really recommend removing them. I pushed, and they relented. They were right, it didn't make any difference.

Oddly, I only had wisdom teeth on one side, and not the other. So only 2 teeth were removed.

For a concrete example of the implacable amorality of advertising, consider how cable-TV once offered the promise of subscribing to end the ads, but still ended up showing you ads and demanding a subscription fee anyway. Then the same pattern happened again with online streaming services and Youtube: Every would-be savior keeps getting corrupted by the same darkness.
I had the same but with a cracked crown. The dentist did the bite wing x-rays, did whatever examination they do, and then at the end said it all looked good. They even did some fancy 3d scan trying to sell me on a mouth guard or those transparent braces.

Then I mentioned I had pain around the crown whenever I ate something sweet or sour. The dentist took another look and said "oh yeah the crown is cracked"

So now I know I either have a cracked crown or I don't. Great service.

> A WordPress fork is also something Automattic fears, as it was oddly mentioned in a term sheet...

Matt has explained that that language was actually addressing allegations that WP Engine forked the WooCommerce Stripe extension and replacing attribution. For whatever Matt's explanations are worth these days.

The language of the term sheet certainly could have been read as preventing them from forking WordPress as well, so it's possible that was an ulterior motive.

Yes, actually. Well, everything except the last point. If you're unfamiliar with UFO 50, it's a recent collection of games inspired by 80s-esque computer game design.

Well, it's clearly an echo chamber. There's very little actual transmission of knowledge in those topics. It's almost always about confirming pre existing beliefs.
I'm an MD too, but I've been raised by scientists. Scientists in my own family entertain the same beliefs exhibited by HNers, to surprising extremes such as dismissing the effect of even very well understood drugs.

Last year, my father stopped his blood pressure meds and was very surprised when I could guess he'd stopped just by looking at him, then proceeded to explain how the drugs acted, and got even more surprised when he got much better 15 min after taking them again. Since then, he totally forgot about this event and is in complete denial.
You can't change beliefs by explanation. People have to get to their own conclusions, otherwise you're just fighting windmills all the time.
I don't know why anyone cares. You're still violating the OpenAI usage policy. You'll get to have fun for maybe a day before they ban you.

It's especially pointless as running local LLMs gets better and easier all the time, and there are plenty that will discuss whatever edgy topic gets you excited.
Mullenweg is the CEO of Automattic. WP Engine is the other party in the current drama.
We all carry around multiple falsehoods in our heads that we are convinced are true for a variety of reasons.

To say that this is not "knowing" is (as another commenter noted) hair-splitting of the worst kind. In every sense it is a justified belief that happens to be false (we just do not know that yet).
I think the difference is that library interfaces tend to be vastly more complex than application interfaces, partly because processes form fairly natural failure domains (if my application does something wrong it exits with a non-zero code, but if my library does something wrong my entire program is suddenly corrupted.)

There are also significant benefits to static linking (such as inlining and LTO) that are not relevant across process boundaries.

But yes, in a sense I'm pushing the problem up the stack a bit.
