Thankfully some good news. That merger was terrible for everyone except the shareholders.

Glad the FTC was able to get that in before the new admin took over.
No. It just means some people gifted the project the same amount of money by volunteering.

I don’t see why volunteer dev work would be more valuable. It’s the same work. Those people have the same living costs.

The project was for a fixed term which has ended. All deliverables are delivered and accepted. "Enforcing the contract" would mean termination, which is meaningless in this context.

In theory we could sue for our money, but the imbalance of power between an enormous multinational company and our small agency makes that utterly nonviable.

Our mistake was made on the front end, when we didn't ensure the contract specified what to do if payment was late. Because of that, we simply have to wait out the bureaucracy.

None of this is responsive to anything I've written, or, really, anything Patrick's written. You want to explore your curiosity about possible alternate banking systems, that's fine, but you've been writing here and elsewhere that Patrick was disingenuous to talk about the banking system we actually have, and no, you're wrong about that.

> can't snipe a true higher still sealed bid not matter how good your bot is

Of course you can. You repeatedly enter marginally-higher bids until you crest their limit. The only case where the auction is efficient is if the automatic bidder is the highest and someone else bids up to their maximum.

> can't snipe a true higher still sealed bid not matter how good your bot is

Correct. But eBay doesn't have sealed bids. You can absolutely snipe an auto-bidder; this is like the first high-speed algorithm that was ever developed in the real markets.

> no one does

Literally pointed you to an eBay bidding bot.

> the eBay model is a compromise to make the bidding structure more familiar to people who don't understand the second price mechanism

...yes. The eBay model is a compromise that works for unsophisticated bidders and low-value auctions. eBay's model is a known-flawed model that does not "discover the best price an item can be sold for in a reasonably constrained time" [1].

Are the open source implementations of Rexx widely adopted? This article highlights them, but I don't think I've ever run across them. It would be interesting to hear about where these have been adopted, relative to other scripting languages that fill a similar niche (presumably mostly Python, Perl, and sh)?

(Apropos of nothing else, it seems worth noting that Rexx is a product within IBM's suite and that this website appears to be owned by Red Hat, now an IBM subsidiary.)
I've been pretty skeptical that Tesla should be valued more than all other automakers combined. I always figured that Toyota could just turn on their manufacturing prowess to make EVs, and start cranking them out. But this is looking less likely as time goes on. The next 5 years will much more interesting for the legacy automakers than I would have thought. Kudos to those of you with the insight to figure this out long before me. Who will be the top 3 automakers of 2035? BYD, Tesla, ???

Jones lied under oath that he did not have the messages he had been ordered to provide but then accidentally turned them over, which came out quite dramatically in court:

https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-us-canada-62416324

Any time someone tells something is “obviously a massive abuse of the justice system”, ask them for details. Many people lie for political reasons knowing that their followers will not check the facts, but those claims usually fall apart as soon as you do. Lying to a judge or doing something you were ordered not to do is going to get you in trouble no matter what else is going on.

In the case of discovery about Google, note that there were two separate problems:

https://www.vice.com/en/article/alex-jones-and-infowars-were...

The first was that he lied about a spreadsheet not existing, and then the defense got evidence that it did - since that behavior was habitual, a judge is going to punish it more harshly than an isolated mistake which is promptly corrected.

The second problem was that he was trying to use the defense that he didn’t profit from Sandy Hook stories while not providing data which could have been used to test that claim. The judge didn’t jail him for that, but he wasn’t allowed to make an unverified “trust me bro” claim.
> eSelf’s early pitch is that its agents’ current query/interaction response time is under 1.7 seconds — which it claims is faster, and thus more lifelike, than voice responses from other leading companies like OpenAI

Drawabox is based on doing exercises to improve your mark making (the accuracy of the marks you draw on the page) and eventually leads to you drawing hundreds of boxes in perspective as a consistent exercise. A lot of people swear by it. I enjoyed the first week of it but decided that drawing is not a priority right now.

Solid question and something we think about a lot! Worst case is a weak zipper or similar. We're bringing a new gripper online which is more multimodal - some mechanical grasping, some suction, and the ability to choose what you use. We're moving away from pure suction partly for this reason and partly for textiles.

Suction is great though, and ~75% of bags checked through the US are hardshells, so it's something we're not ready to ignore entirely.
It doesn't matter how many examples you have for a law. A single genuine counterexample counts as a disproof.

If your law is all liquids flow off a ducks back. Water off a ducks back does not prove it. Acid off a ducks back disproves it.

I don't think it is a matter of a shorthand. I think it is because humans have a tendency to express a strong opinion when they intend to express that a weaker opinion is strongly held. Citing laws of physics does not say "Your perpetual motion machine won't work" but rather "I am confident that your perpetual motion machine will be shown to not work".

Somewhat related, every time I open the web client of WhatsApp I see the side widget animating through my history. What is going on here? As a programmer, this looks like some very lazy work, but I wonder if there is more to it (?)
I'm not a physicist or biologist but what's always made sense to me is that anytime you walk outside during the day you are bathed in broad spectrum radiation from the sun. So anything weaker than the sun is probably safe enough. Anything a million or billion times weaker is probably a million or billion times safer. We already know when and how radios get dangerous (large transmission towers, microwave ovens, etc) and how to mitigate that danger. Inverse cube law and somesuch.
I think it must vary a lot between numbers. My girlfriend gets a huge amount of spam calls. I get almost none, and we're on the same network. I do get a ton of spam texts though.

Man, cutting up all the butter to make our crusts is such a pain. Glad to see the simile being used properly.
"Contractually they’re in breach. But it doesn’t matter."

It does matter. The payment is net-60 and it's been net-180. This goes well beyond reasonable error/omission into overt negligence.

If your client can't figure out how to do a wire transfer that's on them. It doesn't matter how big/small they are, if they're that incompetent, you're likely not the only vendor in this situation and they know it.

1) You've been in long-term structural breach on an objective brass-tacks issue. Immediately completely "out-source" this former client-vendor relationship to a 3rd party--likely a law firm.

2) Write off this engagement and those funds. Even if you win judgment, you'll still have to collect on it and the collection costs themselves can be exorbitant and years-long time-consuming.

3) If/When you file suit (but not before hand), publicly "out" this company in a single post linking the publicly available information about the lawsuit then shut-up about the entire affair until the jurisprudence has completed--likely over a year.

Good luck.

For sure, but from what I understand, in some European Countries in 2011, SMS was free if your recipient was inside the country but cost if they were not due to tariffs and interconnect fees. Since Europeans do move between countries thanks to that European Union thing, it became a problem and WhatsApp became the solution.

Sure, other countries it might have picked up domestically thanks to high SMS prices but low data prices.
The data this actor wants may be in an air gapped secure facility, for example Iran's nuclear facilities. Decrypting old social media messages that show that a scientist at that facility had a homosexual relationship while he was in college in Europe would give you access in a way you didn't have before.

That is an extreme example but high value information is often stored and secured in ways that are very resistant to theft. Using less secure and/or historical data to gain leverage over those with access to that data is exactly how spies have been doing things for centuries.
Enforcing a contract means enforcing the terms, which is… payment. We use contracts because courts can enforce them. You don’t have to hire $1k/hour lawyers and fight a multinational in court. Pay $500 for a lawyer to write a letter containing a copy of the contract and a demand for payment. That’s it. They’ll pay up within a week.

The fact that your contract doesn’t contain anything about late payment is immaterial.

It already is. If you are obese, you:

* Can't get clothes that fit you

* Are uncomfortable on public transit, in public places like theaters, etc as the seats are designed for someone much smaller than you

* Can't get into relationships

* Get social feedback ranging from well meaning (but still embarrassing) to downright cruel on a regular basis

In discussions like this, someone always says "the solution is to shame people" as if it's some kind of picnic to be fat. It's not - it's fucking miserable. And even with all that people are still having a hard time taking control of their lifestyle. Shaming people even harder isn't going to accomplish a thing.

I think Apple is uniquely disadvantaged in the AI race to a point people dont realize.
They have less training data to use, having famously been focused on privacy for its users and thus having no particular advantage in this space due to not having customer data to train on.
They have little to no cloud business, and while they operate a couple of services for their users, they do not have the infrastructure scale to compete with hyperscaler cloud vendors such as Google and Microsoft.
Most of what they would need to spend on training new models would require that they hand over lots of money to the very companies that already have their own models, supercharging their competition.

While there is a chance that Apple might come out with a very sophisticate on-device model. The problem here is that they would only be able to compete with other on-device models. The magnitude of compute needed to keep pace with SOA models is not achievable on a single device. It will take many generations of Apple silicon in order to compete with the compute of existing datacenters.

Google also already has competitive silicon in this space with the Tensor series processors, which are being fabbed at Samsung plants today. There is no sitting and praying necessary on their part as they already compete.

Apple is a very distant competitor in the space of AI, and I see no reason to assume this will change, they are uniquely disadvantaged by several of the choices they made on their way to mobile supremacy.
The only thing they currently have going for them is the development of their own ARM silicon which may give them the ability to compete with Google's TPU chips, but there is far more needed to be competitive here than the ability to avoid the Nvidia tax.

Isn’t that what everyone does? Or is it just a millennial thing…
Let me answer:

* Invoices were delivered semi-monthly on NET60 terms. The unpaid invoices (many of our invoices prior to these were paid) run from March to June. The first invoices lapsed into unpaid status in May, when we first raised the issue. Because we had prior paid invoices, we expected this to be a brief hiccup.

* The 6 months is how long its been since our final invoice and the end of the project --- not the term of the engagement.

* We have attempted plenty, and we continue to talk to their accounts payable team. In our estimation, involving legal professionals at this point would only exacerbate the problem, as it would rope in their legal department. For now, we consider waiting and being annoying to be our best option.

* Our standard MSA has a 2% penalty for every week past due. We rarely enforce this clause, as we tend to work with clients on long timelines. Establishing good rapport and trust with a client that we won't bring the hammer on a payment that is just a few days late helps us not only keep our current clients, but makes future referrals more likely.
Bear in mind that a "1 million token" context window isn't actually that. You're being sold a sparse attention model, which is guaranteed to drop critical context. Google TPUs aren't running inference on a TERABYTE of fp8 query-key inputs, let alone TWO of fp16.

Google's marketing wins again, I guess.

The same - just stop eating (for some time between a day and a week). I tried (for a week) successfully and that was fun. This way you discover you have power to choose to eat or not to eat, also learn to distract yourself from hunger and forget about it for whatever time you choose to. Switching to keto first, supplementing minerals - helps a lot.

Show HN: State of AI Agents 2024 – 184B tokens · 786M runs analyzed
hello everyone, my first post! AA here, founder of ⌘ Langbase.com — we are a developer platform for building and scaling serverless AI memory agents.

I know surveys can be boring, but this one’s different—it’s interactive! That's very much intentional.

My team and I have been up for the last 21 hours putting together this report. This was a looot of work, so I hope y'all like it.

Introducing … State of AI Agents 2024 report

On Langbase, we processed 184 billion tokens and handled 786 million AI agent runs from 36K developers. From all that data plus insights from 3.4K builders who filled out this survey.

This report includes 80% usage analytics from our platform Langbase and 20% feedback from over 3,400 tech leaders, engineering managers, and hundreds of C-level executives who took our survey.

It's surprising how Google is coming after OpenAI and almost beating them in many categories with the Gemini Flash model.

Let me know if y'all have any questions.
Ask HN: Are there any courses specifically for software architecture?
Are there any online courses specifically for software application architecture (rather than learning syntax, math, etc.)?
Yeah but in the bankruptcy setting, this would demonstrate that the trustee didn't get as much as they could.
I think your underestimating the slowdown that will happen if we have to involve the client's legal team in addition to the accounts payable team.
