Again - think of where we were two years ago. I never understand this hubris people have to think AI can never do X while being proved repeatedly wrong.
Well, if so that's out of the standard models (at least, the ones that assume fixed DS).
Nah that's about all of it
Physical media is almost entirely dead, and will not exist in a few years anyway. So, yeah, the move to digital releases, pervasive DRM, and live service games make preservation difficult.

I hope industry heads realize that they're actively pushing consumers towards piracy. These days you often get a better experience with a pirated game than a legally bought one: it runs better without DRM and doesn't infect your system, you can play it offline, and no license change will take it away from you. At least GOG seems to be the only store giving you DRM-free and offline installers, but not all games are released on it.
I want to share my brother’s story - a man who suffered in prison and died from neglect. He was more than an inmate, he was a father, a son and my brother. His death could have been prevented if the prison system had given him the medical care he needed.
I know this whole thing is just a thought experiment, but I had to wonder about not only the cost of all of this per "astronaut" (off the cuff - $10M per person per year), but the massive amount of energy needed for "life and food production". Just a single line item on my list of "doubtful, but not impossible" is the three quarters of a million Joules of energy needed to melt just 1000 grams of asteroid ice inside your protective environment. And you are gonna need a LOT of liquid water to accomplish all of this out in space...
In California, there are only a handful of "Basic Aid" school districts where property tax funds exceed the minimum "revenue limit" per pupil that state government will provide funding to reach otherwise.

That does include several of the school districts in the SF Bay Area, but the vast majority of the state is already under a state funding formula based on attendance and additions for certain types of needs.

Other states have different situations. Washington state is largely funded locally, with unfunded mandates set by the state; and many of the districts have issues with unbalanced budgets in recent years.
Patrick here. Yeah there's a lot of AI video out there. There are also plenty that are more story-driven better ones nowadays. https://runwayml.com/gen48

None of these are end-to-end automated though. Even for a video without a story like the Harry Potter Balenciaga style ones, there's a lot of manual cherry-picking and manual editing going on. Here's a process example for that type of content that looks quite automateable https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGD8zKvRxc4 - but both 1. No one _has_ automated this and 2. It's much more difficult than it looks because of the manual cherry-picking part, and the story, character/enivornment consistency, etc.

I am really looking for another instance of "type text, get story video". I do think it's a bold claim that we're first but I haven't seen a counterexample yet.
It's not about backups - it's about loss of ongoing use infrastructure
Exactly right. Warp have defined their market as vanishingly small here.
Right to erasure is defined in article 17, and note what it says:

> the controller, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform controllers which are processing the personal data that the data subject has requested the erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copy or replication of, those personal data.

There is a lot of leeway in that. Depending on your circumstances, you may have an obligation to erase data, and communicate to other controllers you gave the data to, who also have to do the same. But note you can take into account your technology, cost, etc. - you must be reasonable about it (and instruct others to do the same, so the subject doesn't have to ring round all the 100s of spammers trying to datamine them); work with the process and do the best you can. Don't come up with excuses as to why you're going to ignore the data subject's requests.

The person who will be invoking this directive against you will be a national of one of the EU member states, and they'll be bringing their information commissioner with them. I seriously doubt they will proceed against you if, technically, you still have some of their data in old backups or keep tombstoned records for a specific amount of time before permanent deletion, but you've made sure that individual's data will never resurface in your system, even if you restore from backups, and you've minimised retention to what you absolutely need.

Of course, if you can delete a specific person's data, and they ask you to, and you don't have other legitimate reasons to keep it, you must. Indeed you should delete it even if they don't ask, as soon as it stops being relevant - and you shouldn't go with the plan of "oh but it'll always be relevant, so I'll keep it indefinitely".

Event streams? Have the user's client not send the event, or go round purging events, but given you have to check if the user has opted out of processing anyway, you might as well delete the data when you can. Data warehouses? Go through the user's records and overwrite them with randomised junk, and flag them as unusable.

Yeah get outta here with that thinking. Also see articles 21 and 22, the right to object to automated decisions.

> I do think very little clear material was available for companies who were trying to come into compliance by the time it went into effect.

I sympathise somewhat, but it's a regulation for individual states to actually legislate, and you had 2 years! The main thing you had to do was get the general message and not look for loopholes. From what I see, information commissioners have only been going after egregious holdouts, rather than well-meaning companies, especially if they don't have their own certification scheme running.
It is not too bad in languages with discriminated unions. It's also not hard to fake discriminated unions in languages without them, even if you will miss some of the niceties.

Rather than thinking of it as an enum, think of it as a list of contructors:

class ProgramState {
bool w, x, y, z;

ProgramState(x, z) // implies y = true, w = true
ProgramState(w, z) // cannot set x; implies y = false (cannot set y)
}

Even if the class needs all four fields, internally to represent all the possible combinations of data, there's no constructors/setters to work with them independently. (Which is also related to why "Make Impossible States Unrepresentable" also generally implies immutable, no setters at all makes it much easier to make states impossible.)

In languages with discriminated unions you might even have some natural field sharing depending on how your "constructors" are written and the memory expansion isn't necessarily "exponential".

The disruptive technology adoption process is at least somewhat predictable, including:

* Most people react negatively to the disruption because of the risk, fear of the unknown, and also because people don't like change.

* Also, early in the development and adoption of a new, immature technology, there is a lot of trial and error regarding applications, mostly error. Sometimes those failures are because the application isn't a good match for the technology; often they are because the technology isn't mature and will still improve and add major features, or because the details of the interface between technology and application are still being worked out.

* The people reacting negatively will point out those errors as signs that the technology is hopeless. Often they are wrong: the tech will mature and improve, and those people will be eclipsed.

The good news is, they won't remember it that way: First they laugh at you, then they tell you it isn't in the Bible (i.e., it violates the orthodoxy, the way things always have been done), then they say they knew it all along. AI is in stage 2.
Was there a particular reason he was carrying around nearly 6 figures in cash? How was he planning to ensure it didn't get stolen by robbers of the old fashioned sort?
IIRC, this linking pattern was common enough back in the Geocities era, that HTML style guides explicitly recommended avoiding it. To those who lived through these times, it's quite obvious that there are three separate links, because the space between the words is not underlined (the space would be underlined if it were a single link); obviously, that trick is not helpful with the modern style of not underlining hyperlinks at all.
That "type of worklofw" is the main workflow. The difference is that he is using a shortcut rather than clicking URL bar. U dont always need a new tab.

Just make the Designer the Product Manager, or get rid of the PM title entirely. After all, the process of navigating features and fixes to move the product forward is really a design job, not a management function. Also, the more the technical and design people understand the business side, including Marketing and Sales, the better. Ideally, technical and business sides work together, with design as the cartilage that holds them together.
This is yet another insane thing. If you're detained and not charged, you should automatically be given a transfer, no questions asked - and it should be explicitly mandated so.
As long as this article is histrionically exaggerating the risks, let me make a histrionic exaggeration of my own.

Nonsense like this is why the public health establishment has almost zero credibility in conversations about low risk events.
This is a lagging indicator though, right? I wonder how the diets of Japanese people ~50 years ago compare to the Americans of today.
I tried out Fly.io and deployed a little test app. I couldn't even access the app, because they put it onto a server that was under "emergency maintenance" and had been that way for twelve days.
I totally agree, but it’s just easier for people to accept something if they grew up with it. Sure there will always be people from older generations dabbling with new stuff. But quite a few people refuse to change their behaviour as the age. I wrote them as examples, because it is the biggest contrast I can see in online behaviour between myself and my nephews/nieces plus their circles.
> anyone who bought games would laugh at you if you said every game that you paid $80 for would also have endless amount of small items that you can buy for real money.

How so? Fortnite and Roblox don’t cost $80, they are free to play with in game purchases.

I think this is the key part.

Exactly.

Velocity was supposed to reach an equilibrium and then remain constant. Not over taxing the team is essential. If the meetings are a drag, there's something wrong. If people are burning out, there's something wrong. Those are very old lessons.
The videos are longer in total length, but you've never seen the average TikTok/Insta user if you think people are letting videos play for more than a few seconds before scrolling onto the next one. This is why movie trailer videos now have a "trailer for the trailer" in the opening seconds with like "THE TRAILER FOR SONIC 3... STARTS NOW" with all of the most attention-grabbing scenes frontloaded.
This is partially true for me, but when I listen to podcasts it’s generally in what would otherwise be dead time for me such as when grocery shopping or exercising.

This pledge is part of a document that was countersigned and affixed with blood stamps by President Miura and all 23 employees of the 37th National Bank, the predecessor of Shikoku Bank, in order to ensure strict handling of banknotes. .

If there is any wrongdoing in a transaction, he vows to compensate with his own money and commit seppuku. It conveys the importance of ethics and responsibility not only as a bank employee but also as a member of society, and is said to be a treasure of Shikoku Bank.

"Pledge"
The person who worked for this bank stole the money and yen from the bank, and the late person also stole the metal property and collected his personal property.Then he committed suicide.
This sort of question should not need to be answered, or raised. Carrying a lot of money around should not be grounds for suspicion.

What problem are they trying to solve though?
The British company ICI had a product called Pruteen, which was made by growing bacteria on methanol produced from natural gas as the energy source. It was intended as cattle feed; if people ate it there would be an excess of purines which could lead to gout.

Pruteen was followed by the more successful product Quorn, which is made from a fungus grown in fermentation tanks with glucose as the energy source. It is intended for human consumption as a meat substitute.
Warrants were issued for leaders on both sides. Also, the situation has structural asymmetries that are important to navigate.
And for reference, they acknowledged that this was a problem two years ago but didn't fix it until now. It speaks to either a very lazy development ethic internally, or an outright distrust of their own audience when they speak up. Either way, this is not a product that deserves my telemetry, much less my salary.
The backup mitigates the problem because, if you are banned, which only happens to fools and fakes, you can take the backup and set it up on another service. Sure, you lose a couple of days of time migrating, but that's not a reason to avoid choosing a better solution.

I can see where you're going with this and I can understand why you don't want to get into authorization, but if you're going to be encouraging tool developers to spin up json-rpc servers I hope you have some kind of plan for authorization otherwise you're encouraging a great way to break security models. Just because it's local doesn't mean it's secure. This protocol is dead the moment it becomes an attack vector.
> Killing truly progressive programs for the purpose of virtue signaling is a loss for society

I wonder if the progressives ever wondered why so many Chinese students or Indian students could excel in the STEM programs of those top universities? Like we grew up with our parents making less than $500 a month in the early 2000s if we were lucky. Heck, a family from countryside or a small town probably made $200 a month or less. Like we studied English with a couple of cassettes and our English was so broken that we couldn't even clear custom when entering the US. Like our schools lost power every few days, and our teachers printed our exams and handouts using a manual mimeograph machine. Like I didn't even know touch typing before I got into college. Like I thought only experts could use a personal computer and typing "DIR" under DOS was so fascinating. Yeah, we were that poor.

Yet, our teachers did one thing right: they did their job. They pushed us. They did't give up on us. They tried every way to make sure their explanation is clear, intuitive, and inspiring. They designed amazing problem sets to make sure we truly understand the fundamentals of math, physics, and chemistry. They didn't shy away from telling us that we didn't do a good job. They forced us to write essays every day, to solve problems every day, and in general to learn deeply every day. I still remembered the sly smile when my chemistry teacher made sure we could solve the ICO-style multi-step synthesis in organic chemistry.

So, yeah, many of us wouldn't be where we are today if our teachers hadn't pushed hard on us. Equity my ass.
I literally came in here just to make this comment. Like Ragusea, I prefer every bite to be slightly novel and different.

One of my favorite hacks for Ceasar Salad: Take a bag of packaged croutons, put it flat on the table, and crush it with the bottom of a pan. Repeatedly. Until you get a mix of various sized crouton chunks, gravel, and dust. Apply to salad.

I ate a Ceasar this way in some fancy restaurant and I've been making it that way ever since.
Congrats on the launch! Human in the loop is an underserved market for AI toolchains. I've usually had to build custom tools for this which is a PITA.

Make.com has a human in the loop feature in closed beta. https://www.make.com/en/help/app/human-in-the-loop

There's also https://www.gotohuman.com/ that uses review forms.

Looking forward to playing with HumanLayer. The slack integration looks a lot more useful for my workflows than other tools I've tried.

In the demo video and example, you show faked LinkIn messages integration. Do you have any recommendations for tools that can actually integrate with live LinkedIn messages?
Nope.

We fall victim when we fail to understand one another and have meaningful exchanges with a diverse body of critical thought.

This means actually having those chats across the "asile" as our politicians like to say.

My circle includes a broad swath of people. Sometimes I catch some crap from "those people" because I refuse to hate or shun "those other people" and that sucks.

But, it can be managed and so I do.

It also helps to talk with people from other parts of the world. I cultivate these and those conversations have been rewarding.

"All trying to learn more."

Sure seems to me like you have a conflict in your process you don't need.

Are we all here to learn more?

Nope.

I largely am, but more about what?

For me, better understanding other points of view is a big one. We are having one of those very high value exchanges right now! Great.

More about the topics linked here? Sure!

And then there are those voices of experience, back stories, info bits hard to find otherwise, advice given and, and, and...

I don't know that I would agree he is above James in "quality." Wells was of course great, but he also put out a lot of trash. James may have been the more limited of the two in tone, topic, and social politics, but his work is of a different caliber in terms of prose, complexity, and coherence.

I think we should stop focusing on the cognitive elite at the expense of everyone else, actually.

Why should people that think folks like me are failures deserve the bulk of our attention?
I don't understand enjoying podcasts while just using them for background noise. Maybe because I actually listen, and most podcasts I listen to seemed to have an engaged audience. But then I like listening to people talk about philosophy, politics, sports, true crime, science, history.
I... it's a terminal. Free and completely functional alternatives have existed since xTerm hit public release back in the '80s.

I mean that it is worrisome that the public would agree with this, or at least that public sentiment is shifting in that direction enough that this statement doesn't cause visceral outlash against anyone that would say it.
They are targeting people who are already late. You can demand your 4th amendment rights, and after some "consultation" we will give them to you - but you will miss your flight. Or just let them search your bad, hope they don't take anything and you have a chance to get there on time.

In short you don't really have the option to stand up for your rights.
Ask HN: How do you handle repetitive research tasks in your workflow?

- Tracking local tech events and meetups
- Checking sports scores and stats
- Monitoring job market trends

Do you not believe it's possible to hold something wrong? If someone is a skilled and experienced golfer, it's quite believable that they won't automatically be a skilled tennis player after three months of tennis playing. If someone is an experienced race car driver, they won't automatically be a skilled member of a basketball team. "You must be holding it wrong" can sometimes take years of practising holding it right, not just minutes or months.

If a team of people who have been SWEs for decades reports that something helped their team, and you try it and it doesn't work, and you have been SWEs for decades, that doesn't automatically mean they are charlatans selling nonsense. They might all be basketball players playing together for 5 years and you might be a team of a baseball player, a racecar driver, a track and field athlete, and a water polo player, trying to play basketball from only reading about it, with nobody who has done it or experienced it, and several people who quietly don't want to be playing it and are just nodding along while hoping it fails. The conclusion that they are liars and it can't possibly work is not a strong conclusion.
And it seems, a snob of some standing himself!

I mean, that works if you give them ownership of the budget and revenue targets.

That means if the product does not meet the revenue targets, the development team decreases and the development team has to decide which of their developers are losing their jobs.

That way, when the dev wants to burn it down, they are playing with their own consequences. Autonomy comes with consequences.
If you looked at my resume you wouldn’t think I’m “moving society forward” - I went to a public undergrad with a 50% accept rate.
