OG iPhone: $799

Apple has shown many times over they don't need to be price competitive with the commodity segment. If you want to know why their business model will succeed, why not just look at their current business model which has been massively successful? Arguably the most successful business model in the history of consumer hardware.

There’s a lot of value in being able to boot to a working state without your operating system needing explicitly seeded with intricate knowledge of the hardware. Not to mention the huge differences between proprietary vendor kernel device trees and mainline, so what the vendor supplies may be worthless. No matter how broken acpi etc is at least it’s compatible
> You should have considered the immigration consequences before you got married.

I may be wrong, but I think immigration consequences were not something any reasonable, normal person would have had any reason to think of. We are normal people, living normal lives. As I say, I may be wrong, but this feels like blaming the victim.
> X-Acto knives are a specific type of knives, builder's or craftsman's, not chef's.

Right, but that's still a quite large and generic product category, produced by many manufacturers and sold by many vendors - while "X-Acto" is a specific US brand of a specific US company.

> Equally, a Bic is not any ball pen at all, but a specific inexpensive, usually faceted kind, AFAICT.

Yeah, here we didn't call random ballpoint pens "Bic" - the name was used to refer to only to the specific brand of cheap and shitty orange pens that were easy to find anywhere and which no one wanted to use.

Furthermore if you have held* a green card for the last 8 (of 15 years) i.e. you hold permanent resident status you also become in-scope for the tax expatriation law that apply to US Citizens, and possible ongoing declaration requirements: https://www.expatriationattorneys.com/green-card-u-s-exit-ta...

I've never been US-resident; the reason I know about this is talking to someone who relinquished theirs when I asked if they could keep it.

*from the U.S. Government's point of view.
That analogy doesn't fit. What actually happened is that someone shared with you how they do mining contingent on the fact that if you use that knowledge or add to it, that you have to share it as well (WordPress was a fork off of b2/cafelog)

You did so, but turns out that other people are way better at utilizing that knowledge than you are. You throw a hissy fit on the internet. Everybody turns against you, even people who think that in essence you're right.

I generally agree, but when AI generated content is actively trying to avoid being labelled as “AI generated” it kinda gets depressing. Because in the end, it will just make the entire industry “seem” worthless, akin to AI generated pictures.

I’d rather let the end user know if it was made by humans or not, and let the marker decide. If people love listening to such content, let it be. But hiding how it was made, feels a bit disingenuous.
Even the way the "there were fine people on both sides" is presented here is in complete bad faith. He was addressing the charlotsville protests and counterprotests, one side of which was heavily represented by people who would consider themselves white nationalists/nazis. Trump himself would probably admit this to you. So, while he didn't literally say it, it was heavily implied in that statement, and you also have the benefit of all the context around that event and the next several years to make your own judgment about what he meant there. Just complete bad faith bozo stuff, glad this got flagged.
1. When this red error message is displayed, I'd have loved to see a "report this bug/issue/incident" next to it. That button would have opened a dialog box for me to write in, and telling that the context would be shipped with my bug report.

To me it looked like a crash, but I do understand that programmatically it wasn't a "crash" or an unhandled exception.

2. Since this is a pre-alpha/alpha/beta version, there's nothing wrong with a green button with a picture of a bug anywhere in the interface. Just open a dialog explaining that although horrified, you'll be thrilled to learn of any bugs.
There must be an employee-employee relationship. Difficult to pull off if you are completely solo but possible for most startups with more than one founder where you are not CEO.
That’s absolutely wild and I love it.
I agree with your second point, but misstating the age of a 6-year-old CPU as 4 years old will tend to throw off the equations, considering how fast this field moves. I would also note that the Zen/Zen+ CPUs were truly awful. Ryzen and EPYC did not have a good implementation until Zen 2.
80% of the Twitter workforce was fired. The first month was kind of shaky, but at least from my point of view the platform has been pretty stable.

I of course can't say for sure, but I imagine most of Automattics products will continue running though maybe with a much lower frequency of updates.
Matt tried to call up a mob against WP Engine. For example with his talk but also the things he wrote in the admin panel of all WordPress users. It backfired and the mob turned on him.

As far as I know WP Engine has not tried to call up a mob. The mob was entierly Matt's own creation. So you agree that he is the one in the wrong?
Who cares if WP Engine disables revisions. Wordpress.com disables the use of plugins, arguably a core feature of WordPress, unless you pony up $300 a year for a "Business" tier account.
I feel like there is a broader issue being pushed aside here. Verifying a signature means you have a cryptographic guarantee that whoever generated an artifact possessed a private key associated with a public key. That key doesn't necessarily need to be published in a web-facing keystore to be useful. For packages associated with an OS-approved app store or a Linux distro's official repo, the store of trusted keys is baked into the package manager.

What value does that provide? As the installer of something, you almost never personally know the developer. You don't really trust them. At best, you trust the operating system vendor to sufficient vet contributors to a blessed app store. Whoever published package A is actually a maintainer of Arch Linux. Whoever published app B went through whatever the heck hoops Apple makes you go through. If malware gets through, some sort of process failed that can potentially be mediated.

If you're downloading a package from PyPI or RubyGems or crates.io or whatever, a web repository that does no vetting and allow anyone to publish anything, what assurance is this giving? Great, some package was legitimately published by a person who also published a public key. Who are they exactly? A pseudonym on Github with a cartoon avatar? Does that make them trustworthy? If they publish malware, what process can be changed to prevent that from happening again? As far as I can tell, nothing.

If you change the keystore provider to sigstore, what does that give you? Fulcio just requires that you control an e-mail address to issue you a signing key. They're not vetting you in any way or requiring you to disclose a real-world identity that can be pursued if you do something bad. It's a step up in a limited scope of use cases in which packages are published by corporate entities that control an e-mail domain and ideally use their own private artifact registry. It does nothing for public repositories in which anyone is allowed to publish anything.

Fundamentally, if a public repository allows anyone to publish anything, does no vetting and requires no real identity disclosure, what is the basis of trust? If you're going to say something like "well I'm looking for .whl files but only from Microsoft," then the answer is for Microsoft to host its own repository that you can download from, not for Microsoft to publish packages to PyPI.

There are examples of making this sort of simpler for the consumer to get everything from a single place. Docker Hub, for instance. You can choose to only ever pull official library images and verify them against sigstore, but that works because Docker is itself a well-funded corporate entity that restricts who can publish official library images by vetting and verifying real identities.
100% agree.

It is a race to the bottom that Americans will never win.

Americans who want a normal wage and life are never going to be able to compete on price with someone in South America or Eastern Europe.

This is the kind of things that should result in massive tariffs and extremely onerous tax and paperwork for the companies that do it.

Otherwise, all of our expertise will just move outside of the world and to the desperate abroad. And for what benefit?

There actually IS exactly such a requirement to advertise positions in the US and accept applicants. The issue is that it is gamed or done only perfunctorily. What you are looking for is enforcement, which costs money, and goes against the desires of the companies lobbying for such legislation.

It would also help enormously if the immigration was not tied to a specific company, i.e., the worker could jump to a new company at will without having to convince Company-B to do the whole sponsorship process. As it is, (iirc) if they lose their job, they have only 90?180 days to find a new sponsor or go home. This would make it much less exploitative, and also lower incentives for companies to sponsor H1Bs instead of seeking US workers. Write your congress-reps & Senators.

(Source: tech co founder in some companies that did H1Bs, so not sponsoring but managing the workers brought under the process; also competed under a coach that my school took exceptional efforts to get here from Austria because of his world-class qualifications, they still had to really fine-tune the requirements)

Plants and animals evolved from different lineages of eukaryotic organisms. They share a common ancestor, but plants did not evolve from animals. Plants evolved from green algae, while animals evolved from colonial protists.

I also take exception with the concept of "more" or "less" evolved. Do you mean "complexity"?
I sort of see "written in Rust" as a feature. I guess they could say "memory safe implementation" but I suspect they'd also say "written in Ada" if it was in fact written in Ada as an example of another safe language.

I had two H1-Bs.

The process is completely divorced from reality.

The questions and requirements are meaningless.

To my eye, there is zero rationality in the process.

As far as I can see, the and the only effect of the visa programme is that there is a limited number of visas, and so this acts to prevent businesses from hiring the people they want to hire, and that's not freedom; and in the process of doing so, causing untold disruption to lives and businesses and direct and indirect costs to businesses, individuals and economy as a whole.
Valid point. But dyslexia doesn’t exclusively mean cant read well/quickly.
Your reading comprehension issues aren’t my fault.

I’ve been saying nuclear is regularly unavailable to produce power for extended periods making it unreliable over long timescales.

I bring up long term capacity factors being much lower than your claimed ~95% as a sign of this.

I point to many nuclear power plants currently unable to produce power for an extended period.

Things don’t get much simpler than that.

That is an interesting observation. I started out low level in 8 bit land. To me, units broke down to whatever close representation fit into 8 maybe 16 bits... But, you are right! A BASIC with units would have been quite useful back then.

Would have caught a fair number of my bonehead errors.

Later, moving to C and various scripting languages, I just sort of kept doing the same thing. Work units out old school, then comment whatever equations made sense in the program, and then do math, deciding on fixed or floating point depending...

I will have to give Julia a look. Seems intriguing.
Why should it be limited to Meta? It benefits restaurants near workplaces and as a local government you want some closeness in location to reduce traffic and to increase spending and thus tax revenue.

Dumb question: why is it hard to make something spin really fast?

Simple example: put your frictionless spherical cow on a spinny plate. Make it a very small cow; it's only there to have a point of rotation. Why frictionless? You don't want its butt to catch fire. Why spherical? It'll need to maximize volume dedicated to arm muscles; see below.

Have the cow hold two ropes, each leading to a full-sized cow 10m away. Apply force to those cows (blow on them, or magnetize them and do a solenoid thing, or just make them very gassy cows and orient their spherical butts in opposite directions). Get them spinning at 1Hz. (This is very fast; remember the diameter is 20m.) Now have the middle cow pull the ropes, shortening them to 10cm. It's now spinning at 1Khz. 10mm gives 1Mhz. Conservation of angular momentum, baby.

Do this in a vacuum in microgravity, and you don't need the center cow.

Sure, if you're doing this at a bovine scale, the tension is ridiculously large. What makes it infeasible at a small scale?
The title here on HN is wrong, should be 938Gbps, not GB/s.
So, how would you evaluate whether or not you have done it? When you want to say something will last 10 years, you can utilize various techniques (running at higher temp, etc.) to simulate 10 years in, say, 6 months. But, crucially, we know that this is a reasonably good simulation, because we can compare things put through the "accelerated aging" with things that were made the same, but are actually 10 years old. So we know that they simulated aging works, at least to a degree. We don't have a reasonable way of testing whether or not something would last even 1 million years, if you're talking about electronics or anything similar, much less 1 billion, so any answer of "yes" or "no" is just opinion, loosely tethered at best to any facts.
Well, it's a label, so it's meaning depends on how it's applied. When 85% of people agree with equal rights but less than 15% will call themselves feminists, that's enough to conclude that the two are not synonymous. You can try to clean up the connotation by trying to include the calm good people against their will, but I doubt such an endeavor will succeed. The term is just accociated with nasty people at this point, who needs a label anyway?
Prolog (and logic programming in general) is much older than you think. In fact, if we take modern functional programming to have been born with John Backus' Turing Award presentation[1], then it even predates it.

Many advancements to functional programming were implemented on top of Prolog! Erlang's early versions were built on top of a Prolog-derived language who's name escapes me. It's the source of Erlang's unfamiliar syntax for more unlearned programmers. It's very much like writing Prolog if you had return values and no cuts or complex terms.

As for penetrating general use, probably not without a major shift in the industry. But it's a very popular language just on the periphery, even to this day.

That http-polling technique works quite well. I use it to essentially stream an RDP session, within which YouTube plays and sounds just fine. Computers and the network are surprisingly fast these days. I heard once this is basically how XMPP works but I never looked into it.
> Of those 1069 unique keys, about 30% of them were not discoverable on major public keyservers, making it difficult or impossible to meaningfully verify those signatures. Of the remaining 71%, nearly half of them were unable to be meaningfully verified at the time of the audit (2023-05-19).

A PGP keyserver provides no identity verification. It is simply a place to store keys. So I don't understand this statement. What is the ultimate goal here? I thought that things like this mostly provided a consistent identity for contributing entities with no requirement to know who the people behind the identities actually were in real life.

I was a paid Kagi user.

It’s one of those tools where I have to say, “it doesn’t fit me but you’re doing something good in the world so keep going.”

I don’t do the kind of searches where Kagi is a lot better than Google (I bet folks here do).

On the searches I do want to do, i.e steaming movies, local business and map related, Kagi is not yet strong at. I kept having to !g.

So I’m back to Google which I find fits me better.

But I’m glad Kagi exists.
Meta Uses LLMs to Improve Incident Response
I think this is where the math breaks down:

> you’d really need perfect incompressibility such that pushing one end of the rod would propagate the pressure wave to other end instantaneously

I.e. by pushing an abstraction of "perfect incompressibility" and "instantenous propagation of pressure waves" to the point stops corresponding to reality. Those ideas are descriptive simplifications, abstracting away the underlying process of matter / fields interacting sequentially, an interaction that propagates at the speed of light.

It's the same kind of thing like assumption that array access is O(1). It is, until the array gets so large the process of finding the right place in memory becomes visibly O(n).

Or, on a more basic level, arithmetic on numbers seems to be O(1) with respect to the values of the numbers. Almost all programming practices and popular algorithms depend on that assumption, but it only holds for numbers that the hardware can process in one go. Adding 64-bit numbers is constant-time. Adding 64000-bit numbers isn't.
Would you want to search for them though? Or ability to generate them yourself easily?
Every psychodelic experience is unique & random, even if the title was the opposite and in their study SSRI turned out to be better doesn't mean it will be better for you.

From my personal experience, SSRI (zoloft) felt like a temporary coffee-like stimulant. Psilocybin (or easier to handle synthetic analog 4-aco-dmt) provided short-acting relief from depression and some new perspectives. But ketamine is truly a magic pill if done right. After glow is about a month, and the trip takes 2-3 hrs max. FDA-approved, see Spravato. I feel like at some point ketamine therapy at scale would make SSRIs obsolete, it's just better and faster.
