FWIW, they lost my belief in them with the "advanced voice" debacle: they seem to have announced it when they did merely to scoop Google, not because that was a reasonable time to announce it :/. It then took them forever to actually release it, and while I totally use it (a lot: I am not saying it is a categorical failure or anything), it isn't anywhere near as good as their demo made it out to be; the result is that I simply don't believe any of their demos or announcements now: I'll believe it when I see it and evaluate it on its merits only then... watching their videos or reading their press releases is probably a waste of time and energy.
I agree with your analysis and I sympathize with Redis in some way.

It seems to me that it's painfully obvious what a cloud provider is, but that everyone is afraid of what a lawyer could convince a judge in the Eastern District of Texas to think a cloud provider is.

The technical definition should be something akin to offering raw R/W connectivity to redis databases for arbitrary purposes.

Offering a redis-backed SaaS should not be covered.

I'm having difficulty in understanding why this is assumed to be related to g's pulled as opposed 100's of other things. Someone spending many hours doing a task that demands a great deal of focus and physical coordination might show changes in neuroplasticity different to someone that sits in front of a computer screen writing code all day.
It sounds like this law will be used to target drug gangs and organized crime. Regardless, I don’t see how it can be applied without discriminating against minorities. I highly doubt the woman at the airport, who the article states was stopped for having expensive jewelry, was white and Swedish.

If the police stopped you on the street and asked how you were able to afford a MacBook or XYZ, would you be able to “prove” it?

This law is extremely asinine.
I don't think a government-run health system would solve all problems either but it would address a lot of problems re: access, affordability and having a health baseline. Obviously doctors, nurses, supplies, etc are a finite resource and so they can't see everyone all at once so you have to prioritize based on need and severity. I think that's fair compared to... prioritizing based on who can pay.
Do we have any proof or evidence that such a problem even exists?
Can you reference a law saying that the bank is obligated to force an overdraft on a non-overdraft account when the transaction is reversed? This was a screw up by neither the bank nor their client, I see all reasons to bounce it back and let the wrong party figure it out. Furthermore I saw that exact case IRL in another country and the payroll company had to settle it with the employee (not with the bank) in court.

I understand that US banking can be very different here but neither googling nor chatgpt was able to provide any specific proofs.

Some people claim online that a bank can never refuse an ACH transaction but it's obviously false, they do it easily when the account is closed, blocked or overdrawn beyond a certain limit.
I would need to know where your revenue comes from before I would consider putting money with you. Clearly $1/mo is not going to be the only revenue opportunity you go for. It's good that my assets are safe if you go under, but with direct indexing I'd be left with a giant mess of thousands of individual stock positions that would be very difficult to unwind manually.

I don't care that much about saving .03% over SCHB but tax loss harvesting sounds nice. It would also be cool to exclude certain stocks I dislike from my portfolio.
I doubt Devin could write an integration for an underspecified legacy API like that. Whenever I have had to, I've needed to talk to support/engineering on the other side.
It's wild to me that the prevailing opinion seems to be "It is only TRUE Open Source if megacorps can modify the software and resell it without sharing their modifications".

The hosted vs. distributed loophole is just that, a loophole. If, when the GPL was first published, the world was cloud-hosted and SaaS-ful, the GPL would either have included some provision like the SSPL, or it would have had relatively little impact on the world.

I understand complaints about a lack of clear boundaries or overreach in these licenses. But acting like these aren't attempting to close a loophole being abused seems crazy to me.
I built my language learning app, which is helps learners to study common Chinese idioms. The website (https://everydaychengyu.com/) has the content for free and a kid friendly app teaching the material with flash cards and spaced repetition is available on the app store
All this talk of “SQLite is not open contribution” never seems to consider that a project being “open contribution” doesn't mean the maintainers will accept your contributions.

They have a process for contributions to follow: you suggest a feature, they implement it. It's far from the only project to take such a stance.

Just in the SQLite “ecosystem” see the contribution policies of Litestream and LiteFS. I don't see people brandishing the ”not open contribution” to Ben's projects.

The way it actually works is funny. New scripts are traditionally summarized into a standard two-page format. Summarizing is a low-end outsourced job. An actress/model/waitress friend used to do that for extra cash. Those two page summaries are what gets looked at before rejection, unless you're an established Hollywood figure with a hit or two.

> The obvious downside to that solution is risk aversion and bland, samey output.

Yes. Hence the Marvel Overexpanded Universe and the Disney Princess Army.
That tool is nice. It saved my ass during covid where i had a customer with an API which could not be reached from home.

My intern somehow managed to get it running inside docker for our dev systems.
How is it not enough $$$ for a full-time role if you make 1300/2 = 650 per 8 hour session? Is it because of CA?
> the stock part doesn't impact the company's profit margin

It certainly does if you use GAAP. A lot of tech companies cheat by providing GAAP and non-GAPP figures (of course there are some other cases where it makes sense) to hide stock based comp.
It seems this is in between the civil forfeiture as it is applied in some places in the US (police seize mostly cash, immediately, regardless of any documentation the owner might show, and can keep it unless the owner goes to court and successfully argues for it back), and the unexplained wealth orders of the UK, which if I recall correctly involve needing to convince courts to approve the seizure first, involve a chance for documentation, and are primarily used for major properties. With this, it seems police can seize goods immediately, but have to return them unless they can convince the courts otherwise.

But, this is police seizing goods, and seemingly mostly small personal goods. How are people supposed to prove they acquired those lawfully on demand, immediately? While walking somewhere, can you provide documentation for how you acquired for all your clothes (yes, the photo apparently shows clothes being seized)? Your phone? Your laptop? Any jewellery, which might have been inherited?

And, if this is somehow to combat street violence, why is the only concrete example of a seizure given in the article of someone with a watch and cash at an airport? For that matter, if the person was carrying that much cash at an airport, presumably involving an international flight, how were already-present currency controls not applicable? If she declared the cash, that would have involved some documentation; did they seize it anyway? If she didn't declare the cash, surely it could already have been seized?

Or is this simply a matter of seizing possessions and arresting people who aren't read as being in the right class position to be carrying those possessions?

It all seems rather strangely incongruous.
It's entirely likely that you could write faster Rust in the same (nigh-infinite) time it'd take to write equally safe C. I intentionally avoided that comparison though. If you take a normal 10min function in C, it's going to compile into something reasonable and run fast. If you take the same 10min rust function, the language surface area is so much larger that there's a much higher chance that it won't.

Here's a more concrete, albeit irrelevant in practice example from writing most things in both languages:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42342382#42352053

Implemented in Rust over generic T, you need Wrapping<T> or the equivalent num_traits traits. The implementations for these take borrowed references. Rustc is pretty good at ensuring this becomes pass by value under the hood, but it's imperfect. I found instances of it failing in the test disassembly, even though an implementation for this never has to touch anything but registers. That's performance work that wouldn't have existed in C/C++ for these particular types.
Yep - I am writing a HN comment instead of doing my work at this very moment.
Ok just to be clear: Your position is that UHC is bad because of the exceptionally poor morality of the CEO? And that if we name, shame, and threaten we will hopefully get a moral one who will turn it around?

> I'm just a little peon in the system!" isn't a good defense.

I agree. It’s not a good way to morally justify to yourself why you killed someone.
> The Oresund bridge between Denmark and Sweden, which opened in 2000, made illegal firearms and drugs easier to transfer.

> Ten years ago Sweden, with 10m people, had one of the lowest rates of gun violence and murder in Europe. It now has one of the highest

Is Denmark known for illegal firearms and drugs export? The way it's written it's almost blaming Denmark for its issues. And besides, wasn't that 20 years ago. Surely the illegal firearms and crime would have flooded right in, starting in 2000 until 2010. What happened 10 years ago that started this crime wave?

> law came into force allowing them to detain people flaunting ostentatious luxury goods

There is also no way this law won't be abused. Everyone is looking at US cops robbing people in plain daylight of cash and are horrified. Except, other countries' government officials which are getting very excited by such prospects, it seems: "We too, can rob people!"
Got it. I think my bias in this is that 4o is my go-to chat model, and chat models are basically all I use; if you're doing more advanced stuff than that, I've got no visibility, and am inclined to just believe everything people say.
The profile of the average Swedish immigrant is different than the average US one. Many EU countries have counted and have seen immigrants commit disproportionally more crime.
I was responding to the call to ban the social media. Of course regulation is needed. To start with, they should enforce KYC.
Calls to ban something just because bad people are using it are often misguided (in particular, when good people find it useful too).
We should make it both technically hard and illegal for the surveillance industry to track us. Corporations continue to reinvent de facto government from the bottom up, and if most Americans weren't too distracted freebasing the fallacy that corporations and government are opposing forces we might be able to preserve individual liberty.
Does it have something to do with the ambiguity of our language (english, spanish, _et cetera_) in contrast with formal languages? Like, it would require more mental effort to describe something in the English language, compared to describe an algorithm using language constructs: you know the constructs, and you know your restrictions in the programming language; in the English language, you don't know in advance what can you say and what you cannot, and you have to imagine what is your message going to get across in reader's minds. Well, who knows?

Anyway, absolutely love your books, have the Crafting Interpreters print copy (which has been inadvertently unboxed by my friend; did want it to be still in the plastic) despite using only the website version, and looking forward to buy the Game Programming Patterns.
I hope you continue to be successful in your endeavours (especially if they result in legendary books like these :D). Also, could we be looking forward to a version of yours of a CPU architecture book, a la Nand2Tetris ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)?
To nitpick a bit.

That article is about _arrests_ not crimes committed.

Undocumented folk are arrested less frequently, but that doesn’t necessarily mean fewer crimes are committed.

It could just as likely be that undocumented folk probably live in areas with fewer police stations. Or that crimes caused by undocumented folk to other undocumented folk go unreported and don’t lead to arrests.

Unfortunately nothing is cut and dry when it comes to crime stats :(
> May be that's just me

I would suggest this may be the case.

I'm using a personal account for free just fine, as are many in my circle.
Yeah, that's the big question. Wake me up when it works with o1
The data suggests that immigrants to America have lower crime rates than Americans but European immigrants have higher crime rates than Europeans. This reflects the relative criminality of all four groups.
Really enjoyed the Salvatore's write up. Two things grabbed my attention:
1. He is also an admirer of the Claude! I can't emphasize this enough but coding has almost always been an isolating state for me. But now, you can feel some support with some intelligence! This is sci-fi! it's much more efficient than Google Search and docs. Not sure about the value added here, but when Salvatore explains how he's using the Gen AI for writing software, I really get to grips with my impostor syndrome.
2. Second: "One thing I particularly liked about the article was that Salvatore explained how he is using the Claude (any Gen AI) in his work. Salvatore is one of the programming figures for me (started professional programming in 2016~2017) and I am feeling really relived that these people confess using the Gen AI trick for writing software." this is were SWE ends and product starts!
Does it open PRs?
Yeah totally-

That's why its illegal and I agree it should be illegal.

I personally feel like the CEO was guilty and the punishment was deserved. That it was just. Based on what I've heard, a lot of other people agree too.

This is irrespective of whether the prescident is good etc. All I'm trying to say is that this is what the guy deserved and its a failing of our government that these types live as lavishly as they do on our backs. That is unjust. We willingly trade some justice for social stability and that's a good thing and I hope there's not follow ups to this with more sympathetic targets. I don't want to be subjected to everyone's conflicting ideas of justice.

I'll ask you this before continuing to argue:

Can you imagine any situation where the courts are not willing or able to supply justice? Is there any other country or hypothetical country where the courts are corrupt enough that something could happen outside of the courts and you would approve? Should one ever trade political stability for justice?
It’s… difficult.

I live in Sweden and the issues of lack of integration are eerily similar to those that affect the UK (where I was born and raised 80s-10s); pockets of extremely isolated cultures living in essentially parallel societies.

First, migration is too inclusive and too exclusive of a term. For example it would exclude a second generation individual- and if we are suggesting that religion is an issue, those tend to be more radical than their migrant parents.

It would also include people who already have a job and then move to Sweden.

In the UK, second generation migrants are often more spoiled and act worse than their comparatively entrepreneurial and industrious parents.

Then, to conflate matters even further there’s the issue that these parallel societies typically are poorer than the middle-class areas of the host country; and a correlation between wealth and crime is really strong.

So, it’s too reductive to claim anything relating to migration here. It’s an impossible conversation, and filled with conflicting personas in data and it is therefore difficult to contextualise with statistics.
This is the consensus. Not even left-wing parties are currently willing to openly condone mass immigration any more.
It isn't a contest. Both contribute.

> We're using it only for particular use cases

Can you share concrete examples?
The Internet is "just" the third Network. Both its predecessors (the Universal Postal Union and the Public Switched Telephone Network) are still hugely important, it's amazing that people don't understand the significance until it's shoved in their faces as a result of Tim's mediocre hypermedia software (the "World Wide Web") and even there are plenty of nay-sayers for years.

The Network is a big deal, as big a deal as say, pornography or literacy. But while iterations of the Network are significant they're also sort of predictable. A society which builds the PSTN is going to build something akin to the Internet next.
> Is this conceptually unacceptable, or is it just that the SSPL is poorly executed?

In my opinion it's the latter. There's a minor change you could make to the SSPL that would take it from "practically impossible to comply with" to something that just about anyone building a service with FOSS dependencies could comply with: https://www.terracrypt.net/posts/the-sspl-is-not-a-reasonabl...

Essentially, add EUPL-like license compatibility clauses for dependencies to the SSPL.

I'm not saying this is exactly what we should do to accomplish that goal, but I think it's worth considering, and probably has a reasonable shot at being considered a free software license.
Public schools have been teaching "cueing" instead of phonics for a couple of decades, despite research showing that it...makes kids worse readers. This is finally changing. https://www.apmreports.org/episode/2019/08/22/whats-wrong-ho...
Yeah, this is weird. The one restriction is one you probably dont care about because you're not amazon or azure yet some people still freak out like youve taken their toys away.

Truly odd.
Assuming you're American. The other alternative is some form of public healthcare and refocusing the spending we do on school administration towards more teachers. Refining common core for math and english to actually be well received at large is probably a good step as well. Though I agree AI access is a massive boon in our current system for those who would otherwise never have access to this level of personal help in study.
I hesitate to jump into politics (again) here on HN but I would say this.

I don't disagree with you, exactly. There is a problem with polarized political agendas.

If the right had some sense of being OK with money being invested in the future, instead of in the currently wealthy, and if the left wants to spread opportunity more equally to every student, those could be overlapping goals. Equal opportunity is very different from equitable outcomes. And prioritizing private schools is different from actually shrinking the government size and budget. (The right, I would argue, just prioritizes different spending, not less spending!)
Why would you compare the advantaged US groups versus the entirety of other populations?
Are you suggesting that if OxyContin was available without a prescription that we would see less theft, car breakins, vagrancy, indecent exposure, etc?
Makes sense, thanks for sharing. My folks were artists and it brings me joy to see you making some money from your art.
Also, any line of inquiry that applies probabilistic arguments to evolution-based questions is already off in the weeds. The brains in our bodies didn't arise as a result of pure random organization, but developed incrementally in a direction that maximized reproductive fitness. There is no reason to think that brains appearing in isolated space at random, complete with memories, would ever be a thing.

So it's simply not meaningful to ask about the relative odds of these two positions.
Well, most non-surgeon doctors are already of limited use since for "easy" things information on the web is good enough or better and for "complex" things that need a lot of research the issue might be unsolvable and if it is you usually need to do the research yourself (unless you can find and hire a doctor that is actually willing to research your case for hours), so they are only useful for "medium" difficulty issues that aren't easily diagnosed by just tests but can be relatively quickly diagnosed by someone experienced.
I don't doubt that the scale will improve but I am very skeptical that the reasoning will see the same kind of growth, and at scale, in the example you're describing could look like a shitshow. It's possible the reasoning will improve but with a paradigm shift which I don't see it happening at the moment.

Most of the websites I visit are selling something or sold me something. For the ones that aren't, I would consider a subscription service. If we're talking about something like an inexpensive web search or a subscription for a family of news websites or something. I'd totally pay for a good set of general/car/entertainment news sites. Definitely entertained that. But they'd have to nuke this nonsense about trying to get metrics and tracking and stuff.
My question was rhetorical. Instructions ARE an order. Willful failure to comply is contempt.

The issue is that proving why a juror voted a certain way is kind of tough. The beautiful part is that this is a feature, not a bug.
> What if they release an in-game item that turns out to be completely over-powered and want to change or remove it?

I'm not sure how/if real "crypto games" do it, but it wouldn't be impossible to have a list of "invalid" items the smart contract references that can't be used unless you use a second contract the developer set up to exchange them for the nerfed version. And I guess that could enable community-created formats with their own banlists (if the game is actually decentralized enough for that to be possible).

But then we've had to do a lot of extra work for a messy version of what we can already do with a normal database!
Well known and incorrect. If you control PISA scores for demographics, the American education system is fine to great. You can see American Whites outperform most other countries. American Black's outperform parts of Europe, including Greece.
