Can't they do the same thing with statement credits? I got a Pixel on Google Fi that was $X and over the next 24 months I will get a statement credit of $X/24, so after two years it will be "free" if I stay with Google until then. Otherwise, I paid the difference.
Yeah, it'd mean you need enough camera to cover the area and you need to have enough people on the ground to reach the people crossing within a reasonable amount of time. There are somethings you can do to slow them down (walls for one) and things you can do keep an eye on them while people are being sent out to make contact (cameras, drones, planes, helicopters, satellites, etc.).

More people on the ground does cost money, but the good news is that those government jobs would be a real boon for people living near the border.
> the people who don't think illegal immigration is a problem in the first place are living very far from the border

I used to live in New York. It didn't hit home until we had our own refugee crisis. This is absolutely something you don't get a handle on until you've seen it in person. (We also have a bad habit of conflating legal high-skilled immigration, legal low-skilled immigration, refugees, asylum seekers and illegal migrants.)
vscode predated github acquisition by several years
The deal here is that if you commit to paying $xx/month for a year they will give you $yyy off a phone. It's not unreasonable but it's phrased in a deliberately confusing way to trigger cognitive biases in customers. Letting people break the contract after two months breaks this business model, so they simply won't offer it any more.
Probably definitely barking up the wrong tree, yes. I happened upon a forum post somewhere about Sony Xperia XA2 battery drain on networks where router advertisment intervals were every 10 seconds or something.

Who knows, maybe I dreamed it.

Nonetheless, I disabled IPv6 again and that, somehow, was the smoking gun that solved the "my phone always runs out of charge overnight when I stay connected to your wi-fi" problem.
I used to have ATT for a little over ten years. I upgraded many phones with ATT next, etc.
The final straw for me was when they said they never got the phone I sent back and billed me 1k or something.

Their organization/inventory is a joke.
The crackdown and massive amount of money spent student AI cheating is a real joke. One of the last UK university courses I took was including a full week of mandatory course about plagiarism with hours of useless videos explaining that using grammarly was considered plagiarism. Guess what ? The main plagiarized content I encountered were the lecturers slides, clearly plagiarizing from other professor slides, themselves having plagiarized other slides etc. No, this is not universal knowledge sharing etc. This was just blatant copy paste. These guys should clearly clean their own house before pinpointing students who will use AI anyway. They should check if students are capable of producing an original piece of work based on acquired knowledge and not test their capacity to spit that knowledge like a parrot.
A backup code is a password made of numbers.

> standard libertarian argument, which makes sense

It really doesn't. Libertarian arguments only make sense if you don't think about it too much, or are ignorant about the context and details, or you have a vested interest.

You can compare phone prices with countries where there is healthy competition and there is no or very limited blocking (France is a good example - you can buy phones outright, or get them on a payment plan that locks you on a more expensive monthly payment compared to the classic 20€ everything included including 20-150GB internet depending on the provider plan; after the initial period is over, you can do whatever you want). If you bother to look into the topic a little bit more than surface level, libertarian arguments usually fall apart easily.
No one in the EU has open borders. They have agreements with neighbors, much in the same way you can drive to a neighboring state in the US without much restriction, but interstate travel in the US and citizens of the EU going over the border for a holiday are very different from the situation we have with our southern border (and even with our northern border).
In Germany, many people went to jail for not paying it.

This is the real answer to this. They know they can coordinate with the Copilot team to change or remove API usage much quicker than third party extensions.

I bet they'd love if there were a way to have trusted testers that they could _force_ to make timely updates like they likely can with Copilot.

Maybe they should look into Chrome's Origin Trial system and make time-limited API tokens so that extension developers know that features relying on experimental APIs will break, even if the API itself doesn't. That seems to keep causal usage at bay and make sure that trial developers stay on top of things.

Lots of real estate between "might prefer to deny it" and "untraceable." On HN at least, you should assume the best possible interpretation instead of putting words into mouths.

They are talking as if language was some platonic construct like a Turing machine with an infinite tape and you are talking about the concrete reality where there are no such things as an infinite tape.

Both viewpoints are useful, they can prove general properties that hold for arbitrary long sequence of words and you put a practical bound on that length.
Hubspot is lowering API limits and calling it a bug fix
The previous limit on this endpoint was 500 associations per request and now it's 100. Essentially reducing throughput by 5x and they call it a "bug fix"

I agree that that would stop a lot of the people crossing illegally today. It's a great idea! I wouldn't help with people crossing for criminal activity and it ignores the looming threat of billions of climate refugees coming because their survival depends on gaining entrance into another country.

Yeah, you can let the service lapse and resume it, you just can't take the phone elsewhere. T-Mobile is taking on some risk there, to be sure.

As far as why you would immediately switch -- T-Mobile is not losing money on these phone subsidies in the aggregate (they are in some cases, to be sure). They're pricing the subsidies into their carrier rates. If this went through, they'd likely have to cut the subsidies and engage in pure competition on pre-paid mobile rates. I know some HN readers read that last line and go, "good," but the fact of the matter is that people who are buying subsidized phones on pre-paid plans are generally poor credit risks generally and phones lose a huge amount of their value the second you open the shrink-wrap so they're not very worthwhile as security for a secured loan, so by unbundling these two, T-Mobile starts to compete with everybody else on rates for service and somebody else steps in to handle the leases on phones, and if you look at that market segment, the answer in the US as to who is most prepared to take over that business, the answer is _Rent-A-Center_. The total cost to buy a PS5 Slim is $500, the total cost to get a PS5 Slim through my nearest Rent-A-Center is $1,349.50. Again, I am sure that T-Mobile is not advocating for this out of charity, but I'm not as convinced as some around here that this form of unbundling would be an unmitigated good thing.

EDIT: And to your point of, well wouldn't pre-paid operators all switch to a contract model, I don't think "you can't get phone service without a contract" is what people who are advocating for this reform want, and the primary customer for a pre-paid plan is someone who is too large a credit risk to get a 12-month contract through someone else. I said primary customer, if you want to tell me you're a great credit risk but you're on prepaid as an ideological stance, just pretend I already know that about you.
It's from an old air force training video. Best guess I'be heard it that it's an unsuccessful attempt to explain Kalman filters (or something similar) in layman's terms.

I left a pair of sandals in the shower room at work (a shared space) way before the pandemic. We stopped having a desk there, and I stopped coming in other than for a few social events. Then the office closed, and reopened. I came back for a coffee and went in just out of curiosity. The sandals were there, still in the same corner. Now they're home with me.
> My take during that era was neural nets were considered taboo after the second AI winter of the early 90s.

I'm sure there is more detail to unpack here (more than one paragraph, either yours or mine, can do). But as written this isn't accurate.

The key thing missing from "were considered taboo ..." is by whom.

My graduate studies in neural net learning rates (1990-1995) were supported by an NSF grant, part of a larger NSF push. The NeurIPS conferences, then held in Denver, were very well-attended by a pretty broad community during these years. (Nothing like now, of course - I think it maybe drew ~300 people.) A handful of major figures in the academic statistics community would be there -- Leo Breiman of course, but also Rob Tibshirani, Art Owen, Grace Wahba (e.g., https://papers.nips.cc/paper_files/paper/1998/hash/bffc98347...).

So, not taboo. And remember, many of the people in that original tight NeurIPS community (exhibit A, Leo Breiman; or Vladimir Vapnik) were visionaries with enough sophistication to be confident that there was something actually there.

But this was very research'y. The application of ANNs to real problems was not advanced, and a lot of the people trying were tinkerers who were not in touch with what little theory there was. Many of the very good reasons NNs weren't reliably performing well are (correctly) listed in your reply starting with "At the time".

If you can't reliably get decent performance out of a method that has such patchy theoretical guidance, you'll have to look elsewhere to solve your problem. But that's not taboo, that's just pragmatic engineering consensus.
> Microsoft has the culture and the technology to tell private and public APIs apart and to check code across the company to ensure that only public APIs are called. This was required for decades as part of the Department of Justice consent decree and every single product in the company had scanners to check that they weren't using any private APIs (or similar hacks to get access to them such as privately searching for symbols in Windows DLL files).

I thought that only applied to private Windows APIs?

The antitrust case was about the Windows monopoly specifically, so other MS products calling Windows private APIs was in its scope. But, this is more comparable to another MS product calling a private Visual Studio API – I don't believe that was in the scope of that antitrust case. Did Microsoft have policies and processes against that scenario too?
I would argue that those people will have health problems regardless.

Substance abuse isn't about the "substance" part, it's about the "abuse" part. Naively taking away the substance doesn't address the root cause. The root cause is complex - life sucks, things are hard, and people want to escape.

I'm speculating, but I'd wager higher MJ use means lower alcohol use. On the surface this shouldn't make sense, but it does when you consider the perspective of needing to use something, rather than the something.

The whole thing is kind of silly IMO, and all political theater.

What is the problem statement? If the problem statement is: people are coming into this country illegally, and we need to stop that, then the next question is: why are they coming here?

If the answer is: to find work because there are no opportunities at home - that's easy to solve. Anyone caught employing illegal immigrants gets mandatory prison time. You would find the work would very, very quickly dry up removing the basic reason for coming here.

Folks fleeing political violence aren't illegal, they have a valid political asylum claim and will be processed much quicker when the illegal folks are no longer flooding the border.
Wanted to call out the specific requirements for what the ACM wanted out of their participation in creating a core body of knowledge (from the linked reasoning):

* It must reflect actual achievable good practice that ensures quality consistent with the stated interest; it is not that following such practices are guaranteed to produce perfect software systems, but rather that doing so can provide reasonably intuitive expectations of quality.
* It must delineate roles among the participants in a software project.
* It must identify the differential expertise of specialties within software engineering.
* It must command the respect of the community.
* It must embrace change in each and every dimension of its definition; that is, it must be associated with a robust process for ensuring that it is continually updated to account for the rapid change both in knowledge in software engineering and also in the underlying technologies.

It then details exactly how SWEBOK fails to meet those (which all still seem to be relevant) and comes to the following scathing conclusion:

Overall, it is clear that the SWEBOK effort is structurally unable to satisfy any substantial set of

the requirements we identified for bodies of knowledge in software engineering, independent of
its specific content.

I haven't read the SWEBOK but some spot checking and a review of the ToC seems to indicate they have not meaningfully taken that criticism into an account.

Perfect pitch doesn't say anything about the cultural understanding of music. Except possibly that pitch is important within the context of music? Perfect pitch means that someone can identify pitches accurately. Nothing more. If you were a proponent of a style of music that didn't consider pitches to be significant, I can see why PP would be irrelevant. Beyond that, I don't understand what you're getting at.
I've not been unable to understand why people trust a corporation with 20 years of demonstrable embrace, extend, extinguish and other tactics, and with not even a word of repentance or even contrition, to not do this again. I think we should be assuming it's in the corporate culture to do this again unless they at the very least publicly say they intend to do otherwise. (Of course, talk is cheap, but if you want to rebuild trust, it's the first step.)

Although I pretty much disagree with their entire design value system even on the technical and UI levels (especially the latter), and can't see why anyone puts up with Windows. But clearly many people do, so obviously I'm missing something.

The cppreference page says:

> If the program adds specializations for std::is_fundamental or std::is_fundamental_v, the behavior is undefined.

This is an oversimplification. The actual rule is https://eel.is/c++draft/library#namespace.std-2 .

> the specialization meets the standard library requirements for the original template.

For is_fundamental<YourClassType> it means that is_fundamental<YourClassType>::value must be false, as YourClassType is not a fundamental type, as defined in https://eel.is/c++draft/basic.fundamental#17 .

At least in my experience it wasn't all due to Musk. My part of the academic world was quite small, and seemed to be increasingly uncomfortable with the enshittification of Twitter before Musk's purchase. Observing that the new owner was a shitlord probably coordinated a departure earlier than otherwise would have happened, but I think the process was well underway already.

We mostly ended up on Mastodon, I think. Personally I'm quite grateful that it's no longer professionally necessary to have an extra social media account.

Assuming one must first conceive of deception before deploying it, one needs not only self-awareness but also theory of mind, no? Awareness alone draws no distinction between self and other.

I wonder however whether deception is not an invention but a discovery. Did we learn upon reflection to lie, or did we learn reflexively to lie and only later (perhaps as a consequence) learn to distinguish truth from falsehood?

The complaint they have isn't that unlocked phones exist; they're asking to be able to sell (or serve) unlocked phones alongside subsidized phones. Most people commenting on HN from the US are probably using unlocked phones on major carriers. I sure am.
Locked phones don't enable subsidized deals though. We still have subsidized deals in the UK but locking is a thing of the past. In fact they have started explicitly calling it like it is and breaking the price down into payments for the plan and payments for the phone, which stop once you've paid it off.
