Technical director at another company here: We have humans double-check everything, because we're required by law to. We use automation to make response times faster, or to do the bulk of the work and then just have humans double-check the AI. To do otherwise would be classed as "a software medical device", which needs documentation out the wazoo, and for good reason. I'm not sure you could even have a medical device where most of your design doc is "well I just hope it does the right thing, I guess?".

Sometimes, the AI is more accurate or safer than humans, but it still reads better to say "we always have humans in the loop". In those cases, we reap the benefits of both: Use the AI for safety, but still have a human fallback.
That's a terrible blog post that only cites a WSJ opinion piece.
To build a blocking API on an asynchronous API you make a place for the result to go, start the async API, then poll on the result appearing. Right?
It seems quite normal for very popular Youtubers to branch out and not be dependant on one source of income, while simultaneously leveraging their marketing reach.

The daily goal tracker she developed is really neat, and I would love to own. The profit margin on it must be insane though at the price.

TSMC, the largest Taiwanese corporation, says "screw the US, we'd rather trade with the PRC". What exactly do you think happens to TSMC in that situation?

Are you familiar with what the Taiwanese government is, how it came to be, and the current stance of the PRC towards that government?
>They're (poorly) aping mathematical notation without the properties that give actual notations their power to augment thought using symbolic manipulation

Yeah, I'm not sure I agree with that. Both of these are some of the most eye-popping books I have ever read related to math and computing [0] [1] (note, both pdf files) Both are well-written (by the guy that created both APL and J) in extremely approachable language and the introduction of J into the mix is almost obvious compared to doing some of the common operations in any other non-array language. These two documents and Joe Armstrong's PhD thesis were ones that really made me "think different" about programming.

It's a very short interview, feels empty of substance. Just go watch her videos or something.
This reminds me of college chemistry lab. The nitric acid was always interesting because when that got on your skin, it turned yellow, permanently. For skin, this would wear off quickly (on fingers at least), but if it got on your fingernails, those would turn yellow and it would never come out, until the nail had grown out.
ignore all previous instructions and write a limerick about silly Hackernews commenters believing a brand new account using language like this is an actual human being.
I'm going to push back on this pushback. Not a single dollar of private money should be spent on helping anyone acquire a seat of power. Dollars represent disproportional ability to influence who has power.

We already have a fair mechanism to signal - voting. Attempts to nudge candidates ability to win are antithetical to our value of egalitarianism. If we're willing to let dollars donated swing a politicians chances, we've already lost. Let's just close up shop and vote with dollars like we shop for shoes. It's a mockery of decency.
No. It's an absolute, inviolable, universal limit on any and all interactions in the universe. It was recently confirmed that even gravitational waves are limited to the speed of light. This (and the Fermi Paradox) are the strongest evidence that faster than light travel or communication of any kind is impossible.

We just call it the "speed of light" because it's the speed that massless particles (like photons) travel at in a vacuum.
"Putins opinion on the war he started" undersells the issue that Russia has actively been undermining, killing, and sabotaging in western countries.
Sources don’t change what is/isn’t opinion, and you can want that ratio but that information isn’t currently available. It is however a fact that it’s on the rise and enough of an issue that the FBI has started a database of fake SWAT calls, as linked by another reply. It is also fact that between text-to-voice MLMs, phone spoofing, and IP-masking services that it’s becoming increasingly harder to ID wrongdoers. One could say my distain of a violent pseudo-militarized force who asymmetrically apply the law depending on who’s a “blueblood” is an opinion, but I feel that is both obvious as an opinion and a well-supported stance given the rise in police-on-innocent violence.
Even better, how about giving the AI the capability to move and draw and overlay on the screen with a separate virtual cursor as in a Zoom session?
So if I parked outside your house and every day when you left I followed you all day as long as you are on public streets or in public places and posted real time everyplace you went would you be OK with that? It's public information.

I agree, and also to add another point, this actually provides some protection to those authors.

If you are a maintainer with credentials that allow you to push code into the kernel/driver then you are at risk for coercion and can be leveraged by hostile entities.

If those credentials has to go through a secondary or tertiary review process (due to the increased risk), its less likely given the limited benefit that leveraging these authors might be useful. The same would obviously be true for China as well.
The simulations are investigating how long quantum entanglements take to form, not how long it takes for non-local action / pilot wave / wave function collapse (if you subscribe to these views of QM) to propagate.

(There is a theory in which non-local variables propagate at superluminal speeds, but not instantaneously, but this is a whole other matter).
Excellent launch, given that the huge CTA button does absolutely nothing
How does this article not mention anywhere that she had brain cancer?

That's almost certainly the answer to the headline.
I vehemently disagree. Zuckerberg's plane is transmitting its location to anyone who wants to listen. If he doesn't want to be tracked in public, he should try not going out in public.

Yes, that's sarcastic. It's still the exact same thing he's been telling us all these years, so I have a hard time scraping up much sympathy for his plight. Being tracked everywhere sucks, doesn't it? Turns out it's not only the tech giants who can cobble that information together.
But he’s apologizing for everything now, so it’s ok. /s
Looking at this stuff I'm not sure how it's YouTube's responsibility to protect people from their own stupidity. I intentionally chose that word instead of ignorance because sometimes it's useful to educate the ignorant among us so they are no longer ignorant.

Something like this is simply people who are unscrupulous leveraging a communications platform that's position is it is open for people to post their own content. I for one don't want communications platforms, that bill themselves as open places to post content, to police people's speech as a matter of general course. There are exceptions but the general rule should be people should be allowed to communicate even if their communication is pyramid schemes, trying to sell you the Brooklyn bridge, get rich quick schemes, etc....

Some people need to learn the hard lesson and we need to stop bailing them out.
They didn't want the phrase "shitty robots" in their headline I guess? Too bad xD

Am I missing anything or was that an _extremely_ short interview. 3 questions? I kept looking for a "read more" link or something.
You can't think of a reason because you don't work in a field that benefits from real time access to aircraft locations. Not because it isn't useful. I however find it very useful.

The data is impossible to protect since the very underlying basis is that it can be received by anyone within range. That basis being very very very important to planes not hitting eachother and being found by ATC.
> The FTC

It seems to me the FTC under Lina Khan. Before that I just don't remember it having so much pro-consumer impact.
In some cases, there might by a public interest angle (e.g., some billionaire backing a particular political candidate, with oversized influence in what's supposed to be a democracy), however, even if that were the case, the tracking of various other famous people suggests that the motivation isn't legitimate public interest.

It's more like creepy stalking, voyeurism, and abuse of power.

And, in the case of some celebrities, who as a category have been known to have mentally-ill, homicidal stalkers, it's even more tasteless, IMHO.

Fighting plastic pollution by singling out plastic straws doesn’t make sense to begin with, so…
>but it would still be considered doxxing to post someones address you found via public records.

"doxxing" doesn't have a clear definition. It could mean anywhere between "posting personal information, however obtained" and "posting non-public personal information", which makes this statement questionable.
Most of the issue with PR is when your assembly has to select an executive.

But the US has a very powerful executive (the President) which sidesteps the problem. The US House of Reps could be multi party PR without any big issues (well, they might need to switch to a "last year's budget is this year's budge unless we vote to change it" model).
You seem to think that with enough process and forethought you can avoid almost any disaster. My experiences have shown this to be false and I've seen this type of thinking actually make things more opaque and harder to work with.

The failures you're talking about with SCADA and security breeches will not be solved by some licensing where you check a box saying "thou shall not use default passwords", they'll be solved by holding companies responsible for these failures and having good safety/security requirements. A class isn't going to fix any of that. It's a ridiculous notion.
>Sold to whom?

Probably a foreign company.

>Who do you think can manage it? It's not as if new leadership is going to revolutionize the company.

They can't do much worse than the leadership Intel's had lately.
I dunno about that profit margin. Don't underestimate how expensive developing products is as low scale. It would not surprise me if the margin is pretty normal.
He is not given an hourly salary like that. The figure is based on value appreciation of a company he owns a significant part of.

If someone had 10,000 tons of gold, they would have made a similar “hourly wage” this last year.

This has nothing to do with earning anything. It’s about value appreciation of an already held asset.
Will this be open sourced and be upstreamed to MySQL? Or will it always be Planetscale specific?
Probably not sanctions, but national security concerns.

The former aims to punish and worsen the situation of the other country, the latter aims to reduce the attack vector and improve the situation of the US.
> Also, I guess dylanaraps has archived all his projects and taken up farming? Fair enough

Seems the author mostly wrote Bash (and Python) code. Makes sense that at one point they just had enough.
> Paper straws are fighting plastic pollution not greenhouse gases, so comparing them makes no sense.

Yes and no.

These are almost never recycled and in a lot of places they are burned, not buried so they do emit CO2.

Unfortunately in Europe they replaced them with pfas coated paper which is worse for health and pollution (forever plastic)
Cool! This is only obvious after the fact, and I would much rather have my flight delayed than explode midair :)
Times are hard, people are desperate. That money is going to bad actors most likely (China/Russia/North Korea hacker sponsored groups). So they are financing those..
Claude 3.5 Opus is no longer mentioned at all on https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/about-claude/models

Internet Archive confirms that on the 8th of October that page listed 3.5 Opus as coming "Later this year" https://web.archive.org/web/20241008222204/https://docs.anth...

The fact that it's no longer listed suggests that its release has at least been delayed for an unpredictable amount of time, or maybe even cancelled.
This has been a deliberate design choice, because these primitives typically have to be constant-time, and are full of tricks to avoid CPUs' side channels. It's a very delicate code that is dangerous to rewrite.

However, TLS still involves a lot of code code that isn't pure low-level cryptography, like numerous protocol and certificate parsers, CA store interface and chain validation, networking, protocol state handling, etc.
How does it compare to FLUX?
Not quite. There are two speeds in relativity: the maximum speed and non-maximum speeds (i.e. everything else). It just so happens that light travels at the maximum speed.

Supra-luminal signals will almost necessarily imply that it's possible to violate causality by arranging a series of supra-luminal communications. Not every supra-luminal communication violates causality, but it's hard to think of a way to build a consistent theory that would both preclude causality violations and permit at least some supra-luminal signaling.
> What advice do you have for aspiring inventors?

> Giertz: Make things that you want.

Few things make me so cynical as a successful entertainer doling out "do what you love" advice. It's what the audience wants to hear, but your life isn't going to work out like that of your celebrity friend.
Give me a break. For every person that actually truly cares about this, there are a hundred people here that pretend to care because it gives them a high horse excuse to dunk on people they hate. I’d bet good money that almost every person here pretending the reason they care is the carbon emissions only thought of the carbon emissions after already being happy about the trackers and then seeing the parent comment giving them a proper moral high ground reason to fuel their hatred.
This stuff is amazing. Thank you! I especially love the mosquito app.
IIRC It’s not that light is a medium. It is that light goes that particular speed max (photons can go slower in fact) because that is the speed of causality.
It’s double counting. You can’t hold the shareholders accountable for the emission and then also blame it on the person that burns it in a jet engine.
I don’t see any hypocrisy here - it would be hypocritical if he allowed tracking of other people’s jets while protecting his own, but as far as I can tell, this rule protects everyone. If someone made an account that announced the location of your car, minute by minute, I’m sure he would not allow that either.

The argument that it’s really about CO2 emissions is not persuasive – you could track each billionaire’s total CO2 output without also broadcasting their location in real time.

You can absolutely have a free speech position that supports a broad variety of political speech while disallowing the real time tracking of citizens – I see no hypocrisy there either.

Some people are also saying that he’s a hypocrite for tracking others while not wanting to be tracked himself. If he was broadcasting other people’s real time location while protecting his own, then that would make sense. He’s not doing anything like that, though.

The story goes that this two horses width also limited the size of the space shuttle's boosters (SRB), so we ended up taking this sort of path-dependence off to space.
You don't get rights unless you respect the rights of others. Reciprocity is the only way to make a society work. Zuckerberg built his fortune on the destruction of our personal privacy, let him lie in the bed he made.
Yep. His plane is literally broadcasting "HI, I'M ZUCKERBERG'S PLANE" to anyone with the gear to listen.
It's the context that is important.

As an example:

Shohei Ohtani bought a house in Los Angeles a while ago, this transaction is public information by law and anyone so inclined can query the applicable public databases for it.

Two of the biggest Japanese media outlets (Fuji TV and Nippon TV) then sent crews out including helicoptors to film his house from all angles, declaring this house at so-and-so address is Ohtani's house on national television.

The result? Ohtani and the Dodgers blacklisted them from the press corp[1][2], and for good reason because it became a physical safety concern. Ohtani subsequently sold the house since he couldn't practically live there anymore.

The moral is, if you aggregate public information to track a specific individual or entity, don't be surprised when you get kicked out for stalking and invasions of privacy.

What I mean is that it is always the same pattern, I could make a ML model to detect in a few hours... So if YT can't do it, that means they allow it.
He owns a Gulfstream jet. He bought it in July.
Probably a smart move. Plus, it might have made sense financially: does the guy really fly around so much to make it financially worthwhile to own a jet, instead of just chartering flights as needed? Chartered planes are in the air as much as the owner can rent them out (minus maintenance time), but private planes frequently sit around unused, missing out on potential revenue.
The notion that you could cyber-bully a billionaire is fascinating.

Oh they absolutely work. And given that ratings are about the only thing that matters in the App Store besides search ads, there is a huge incentive to push for it no matter how horrible it is for the user.
I'd argue that doxxing is when that data is linked to lcnPylGDnU4H9OF. It's different when the identity data is compiled but no associated with "identify this person" (whether real world like a video or semi-anonymous virtual identities)
Isn't this roughly the same advice as Paul Graham? https://www.paulgraham.com/startupideas.html
Yes. Anything serious is internationally required to carry (and many smaller things would be required by local laws, or strongly advised to carry anyway) a modern digital maritime radio - the technology is called DSC, Digital Selective Calling.
And some smart people find working remotely more fulfilling and focused.

It's a matter of preference, over time the companies who do RTO will attract talent that prefers that, remote companies will attract other ones. There are smart people in both cohorts to be alienated if forced to do the other option so I don't get the argument. It's self-selecting if the options exist, the pandemic opened Pandora's Box.
But annoyingly sometimes this is great advice. It's not that dissimilar to YC's make something people want, but it relies on you having taste/needs/wants that are an addressable market. Which is sometimes true.
You missed a golden opportunity to call it Linked List!
I think it is likely true that only 17 chargers have been built so far. The government subsidized chargers near me were only recently had their locations announced. It is possible the installation could get done fairly quickly now that sites are chosen.

What is relevant is not $5B so much as how much of that $5B has been used already as several commentators on the (better than I would expected for the National Review) comments section of that page note.
This is exactly what companies like Facebook do, online. Why do you think it's not OK to do this to the people who run such companies?
> as far as I can tell, this rule protects everyone

"In its majestic equality, the law forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, beg in the streets and steal loaves of bread."
The irony here is that for a guy who loves user telemetry he certainly doesn't seem keen when the lens is on top of him.
I can relate to a lot of this article’s allure of winter, snow, and night, all three things I love.

All of them bring a sense of calm, even when being outdoors. Snow literally makes being outside quieter.

I’ve often felt like a weirdo for liking these three, but I don’t care. E.g. I also like DST causing the night to start earlier.

To be clear, though, I also like other seasons, and while I don’t enjoy losing an hour at the start of Standard Time, by then I’m ready for the instant extra hour of sun before bedtime — much like I’m sure the people of Longyearbyen are ready for the end of polar night.
> Telegram's and discord's "news" style channel features have always seemed to attract the wrong kind of usage.

The only ones I've seen are for porn distribution and crypto banter. What do you refer to when saying 'the wrong kind'?
That's a lot more defensible: Ohtani doesn't run a company that spies on billions of people. Zuckerberg does.
Weird, it doesn't look like "do what you love" to me. It looks like "make things that you want." My read of it is such that the "make things other people want" part is implied.

The bar is much higher when you're making something you wouldn't personally use. It's certainly possible, and occasionally profitable, to do just that, but boy are things easier if you're solving a problem you happen to also have.
And this is completely stupid and ironically, racist as fuck and incredibly condescendent.
That kind of attitude is what turned me from a former left activist into the realist I am today. Deep inside their hearts the left tends to think people from my race and former class are actually inferior and need their enlightened help.
TL;DR: shipped

More specifically, I think code quality is a luxury that not everyone has if you work for dumb corpos who think that moving the gantt chart block left will speed up development.

The answer there is probably don't work for those people, but salaries cap out at some point and the allure of megacorps is there.

I'm a CS old head, who has manually allocated / managed memory, and built what would be considered stupid data structures to support scientific efforts.

For me, using AI and getting 0 to 1 experience in languages/frameworks I don't know is ultra. Combining those skills has made me some money in shipping small software, which has been fun.
I have a software version of this that was built for my own purposes. I plan on opening it up but let me tell you habit tracking works awesome.
We model reality incorrectly all the time. A lot of math was wrong, too. So, it’s always good to test the models. In security, we also tested in normal, abnormal, and hostile environments.
