I often think back to this 90s 60 minute interview with Bezos and wonder, what happened. He was already a billionaire at this point, but he felt so much more ordinary, down to earth, geeky. He seems very much like the developers I meet all the time. What was the catalyst to the changes we see in him today.

Maybe I just have low standards but to me text looked absolutely fine while it "looked bad". I have to try very hard to see any difference at all. I don't think it's shameful that it looked this way for 4 years, I think it's shameful that such a degree of wasted effort went into "fixing" it. What a ludicrous use of manpower.

When upstream won't work with you, the answer is to maintain a separate tree. Yes, it's a lot of work to maintain a separate tree. No, you won't get as much use if you're in a separate tree.

You’re looking at them from an individual basis, they each have a large collection of other individuals that have their personal wealth tied to the wealth of the central billionaire figure. Those individuals are highly incentivized to convince the billionaire to continue increasing their wealth.

One such story may be that Timmy is working hard at your company to help his sick grandma and he needs to stock price to increase 10% this year in order to do so. If you don’t deliver then his grandma will die. Multiply the that by 1000 Timmies with 1000 grandmas and I could see why it might be hard to say no.
Ellison no doubt is primarily, if not exclusively, concerned with his own well-being even at the expense of humanity. He may or may not actually believe otherwise, but his wealth objectively disqualifies him from being altruistic or even trustworthy.

Putting in the work is one thing, which is what the Rust-in-Linux people are also doing, but there's also the political requirement to force maintainers to accept it. Android was big enough, and happy enough to fork seeing as it had already done that before, that it forced a lot of hands with top-down mandates.

Rust, despite having Linus' blessing to be in the kernel, is still just getting rejected just because it's Rust, completely unrelated to any technical merits of the code itself.

That's not true. The team maintaining AOO is small, but it's not abandoned. As evidence, I submit the fact that the last push to the Git repo[1] was a whopping 42 minutes ago.

Question for everyone - I've long wondered if it would be possible to use WASM to create a p2p "cloud" to reduce reliance on datacenters?

My thought would be to encrypt all data packets prior to shuffling them into the network, and have some sort of incentive for people to keep their devices running on the network to enhance reliability - probably with a blockchain of sorts that serves as the main "map" of content in the network.

The dream goal would be to create a digital "data cooperative" that enables opt-in selling of your data/usage habits, with a default setting of total privacy. Ideally this would be backed by the blockchain to close the loop on the incentive for usage.

Is there already something like this that I'm not aware of? Are there any areas of research I should look into?

absolutely agree. We get lots of csv files to process and most of our consultants will check them in excel and totally mangle them one way or another. You _can_ make excel import them without messing them too much but it's several hoops away from the normal file open procedure so they forget. Libreoffice Just Works. Love it. And the way it can split a multi-tab excel file into separate csv files from the command line is a godsend. Although the documentation for the incantation for the filters to make it do it is rather lacking. But once you get it, it's fantastic

Build your own talking assistant with todos
Do you have an idea for a voice-powered app? I can't stop having them.

- Imagine an app that reads recipes aloud while you're cooking
- Or one that helps manage your daily to-do list
- Or even one that gives you local weather reports

All while using your voice – and because it can talk, you don't even need to see it!

Building a voice-operated app is tricky – here's a video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b61UaIpUbiE) of me at Atlassian explaining all the steps. You need to handle speech-to-text, voice activity detection, and text-to-speech. Everything needs to be fast and properly visualized for the user.

https://tinytalkingtodos.com/ is a workbench for creating voice-operated to-do lists that can talk back to you. It's a great way to mock up an app experience and test your idea. Here's how it works:

1. Select from over 25 templates in the app
2. Use the built-in code assistant to customize the template for your specific needs and desired look/feel
3. Write a system prompt for the assistant so it understands how your list should work

That's it! You can start capturing whatever you like. The app allows you to share your list with up to 5 people, and the contents sync instantly across all your devices. I think it's a great tool to help you experiment with multimodal AI and I hope you try it out.
And the state department is going to buy 400M worth. We live in a strange timeline.
Yes, "breakage should be fixed as soon as possible". Not "Rust for Linux team will fix the breakage as soon as possible".

The exception is allowing the subsystem to break Rust code temporarily. If you accept a patch in C that breaks Rust code, and the Rust for Linux team doesn't fix it quickly enough, you either need to fix the Rust code yourself, remove it, or re-write it in C. All of this would take time and energy from all the non-R4L kernel devs.

This is why people are reluctant to accept too much mixing of the C and Rust codebases, because even the Rust for Linux team isn't promising to fix breakages in Rust for Linux code.
My favorite thing about LibreOffice is that it can open CSVs without breaking them. Pretty much everything else about it is a slow, unintuitive mess, but this one killer feature makes me always install it and something that somehow Excel does not have.
Thank you. If governments have more restrictions than corporations, all that will happen is that corporations will immediately spring up to exploit this arbitrage opportunity.

> Yes, but generic code complicates the picture. The things I saw were like: The documentation says you need a number but actually all you need is for the + operator to be defined. So if your interface only accepts numbers it is unnecessarily restrictive.

if you really need a number, why not use a type specifically aligned to that (something like f32|f64|i32|i64 etc...) instead of relying on + operator definition?

> Conversely some codepath might use * but that is not in the interface, so your generic code works for numbers but fails for other types that should work.

do we agree that if it's not in the interface you are not supposed to use it? conversely if you want to use it, the interface has to be extended?

> Apple explicitly chose to provide a way to boot third-party operating systems

And they explicitly chose against a UEFI interface like prior Macs, which would have actually enabled proper Linux support. Now you have poor people trying to reverse-engineer a Devicetree from scratch to get basic features to kinda work, emulating hardware features in software and working with no documentation from Apple. They "explicitly" chose to expose iBoot because otherwise you wouldn't be able to reinstall MacOS in a full data loss situation.

By comparison - reverse engineering an unsupported AMD or Intel CPU would at least give you some basis to work off of. You have UEFI as standard, ACPI tables provided by hardware, even CPU documentation and Open Source drivers to work off of most the time. Asahi shot themselves in the foot by trying to support hardware that doesn't support them back. You can argue that Apple was conspiring to help, but we have no actual evidence of that.

> Their SoC stuff dates in some components AFAIK back to the very first iPod SoCs in its design.

And none of those platforms ever got proper Linux support either. I love Linux as much as the next nerd, but it doesn't seem wild to suggest that Apple Silicon will never have feature-complete Linux support. And for many people, maybe that's okay!
This is one of the unspoken assumptions of online communities, that will cease to be true, and lead to the implosion or imposition of rules on HN, which will lead to its fracturing.

This is a false dichotomy; that it's either 100% nature and you have no control or that you must obsessively apply whatever faddish unverified pseudoscience passes your way in order to ensure your child's success.

Do what comes naturally. Do things that other parents around you are doing. If you want to do something that other parents are not doing, approach with caution but be openminded. Do things that your parents did that seem good, don't do things that your parents did that seem bad.

Most importantly, if you encounter research that disagrees with your intuitions, ignore it. If you encounter research that agrees with your intuitions, also ignore it.

If you encounter data-driven research that disagrees with your intuitions, then run screaming away. If you encounter data-driven research that agrees with your intuitions, then question your intuitions.

Finally, live with the fact that a lot of how your children develop is completely out of your control. If you have multiple children this will become extremely obvious very quickly.
Show HN: Take the monotony of job applications away from you
I built this app out of frustration with the scattered, often clunky tools available for managing a job search.

The goal is simple: to help you stand out in your job applications while automating the tedious but necessary parts of the process. The app takes care of everything you need for your job search and is packed with powerful AI features.

When you start using the app: Firstly, it analyzes your resume and provides actionable suggestions for improvement. It also checks your keyword usage and helps optimize it to pass Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS). Writing compelling resume content can be challenging, so the app includes an input enhancer—just type what you want to refine, and it will rewrite it in a polished, professional way.

You can also track your job applications while leveraging AI-driven insights. With just one click, you can research potential employers instead of wasting time searching the web. The app also offers a job fit analysis based on your profile and the job description, generates personalized resumes and cover letters, and even prepares interview materials and tips to help you stand out. It’s like having a personal career coach in your pocket.

Except all the previous times they have lied because the government asked them to. Like the time they willingly gave all users push notifications to the US government and then lied and said they didn't, until it leaked and they admitted they did and then openly spoke about how the government had forced them to keep quiet about it.

You only get that probability if the test results are completely uncorrelated, chances are, they're not.

I agree that Yudkowsky is neither a scientist nor an academic. (As for being a head of state, I think you're thinking of Elon Musk :-).)

Do you think (1) we already know somehow that significantly-smarter-than-human AI is impossible, so there is no need to think about its consequences, or (2) it is irresponsible to think about the consequences of smarter-than-human AI before we actually have it, or (3) there are responsible ways to think about the consequences of smarter-than-human AI before we actually have it but they're importantly different from Yudkowsky's, or (4) some other thing?

If 1, how do we know it? If 2, doesn't the opposite also seem irresponsible? If 3, what are they? If 4, what other thing?

(I am far from convinced that Yudkowsky is right, but some of the specific things people say about him mystify me.)

you will do surgery on some of the 105 people. Some of them might die from complications, infections, etc or at least have lasting damage. Since several of the 5 people will not be any better off with treatment it's entirely possible that the screening produces palpably worse outcome.

The earlier you screen, the worse this is, since the ratio of false positives vs true positives gets higher and higher, for example 1000 vs 5 or 10000 vs 5.

Web designers must simply accept that they are working in a medium that is not amenable to (sub)pixel-perfect reproducibility. It is not—and never has been—safe to assume that future versions of a given browser will render identically to the current one. It is not safe to assume that the browsers you are fine-tuning for will remain popular in the future. It is not safe to assume that other users with the same browser version (or a browser claiming to be the same version) as you are using will get an identical rendering as you get on your system.

As a web designer, you must accept that the browser is fundamentally not yours to control. It is an agent acting on behalf of the user, not on behalf of you.

I'm a bit surprised by the reactions here on Apple following the path of highest profitability since this is what they've always done and is what gave them the highest valuation on the stock market.

When the previous regime was pushing nonsensical things like 'men can get pregnant' Apple added emoji of pregnant men to their products. Now that a new government has landed which does not hold with such nonsense but which does include the owner of X in a significant advisory role Apple joins the fray. If the pregnant-men-lunacy ever raises its head again Apple will fairly quickly - but not as a first mover, that is not their thing - start adding more pregnant men again. They follow the money and have always done so which makes the often religiously tinted adherence to the Cult of Apple all the more ridiculous. If one thing is to come from this it will be the lessening of the zeal with which the cultists praise their Holy Corporation for which I will gladly say 'Thank you, Elon Musk, for making these people remove the blinds from their eyes even if unintended.'
