I agree with the experience. I myself had a few nights that learned so much just by burning candles on tough projects (comparing to my skills).

But for anyone who wants to have such an experience for more than a few weeks, I believe they need to be strategic:

- They need to figure out what area they need to work in early, like really early, preferably during/before college, because it is the first job that counts. They need to get in ASAP, because there is a hell lot of difference between someone starting at 10 and someone at 30;

- They need to think strategically about which kind of people they want to marry to, or do they want a marriage at all. IMO, if they want to be high-achievers (it's not an accurate word, but you know what I mean), there are only two kinds of good partners -- comrades or servants. Comrades keep you motivated and can interact with you on the same page, while servants take away most of your distractions. Kids are 100% a time sinker even for the best of them, so don't get them too early;

- They need to find a good mentor, or more, along the road, at least before they reach where they can grow by themselves. Or they are lucky to have an above average amount of perseverance (which I believe is defined by gene and early education -- again, mostly genetic) so they can throw themselves at any wall and still preserve;

So basically, they need to be lucky. And if they are not that lucky, they need to be at least lucky enough to realize and think about it strategically at an earlier age (like, before 30, I think) and plan accordingly. They need to muscle into the positions they want. They need to push things and people around to make their own career paths.
Side note: I think it's fascinating that all the people supposedly arguing for AI safety think an AI that acts like a person without a frontal lobe is ideal.

No.

The long explanations boil down to this: quantum computers (so far) are better (given a million qubits) than classical computers at (problems that are in disguise) simulating quantum computers.

There's no need for hyperbole. Trump is bad but there's been less than 100,000 Ukrainian deaths (troops and civilians combined) since the beginning of the war in 2022, let alone under his reign.

The question is to what extend this is true - given that Rust programmers also make stupid mistakes (e.g. https://rustsec.org/advisories/RUSTSEC-2023-0080.html) that look exactly like C bugs. Not that I think Rust does not have advantages in terms of safety, but probably not as much as some people seem to believe when making such arguments. The other question is at what cost it comes.

Since we're exploring the space of "things that a cop may lie about," can you imagine scenarios where a cop might lie in a way that people would currently take offense to? Examining opposing scenarios can be a helpful way of weighing pros and cons.

I have no doubt it's entirely possible to make an electric truck, but you still have to spend a year in the trenches actually doing it and solving all the little design problems before you have something to show off.

Especially if you weren't previously making ICE trucks. Then you have to learn how to make a truck from scratch, instead of just the new electric parts. You can of course buy an ICE truck and convert it for your prototype, which I think is what Edison Motors did, but then you'll be showing off a rusty old truck that won't get any venture capital or journalist attention because it's nowhere near shiny enough.
Interesting synopsis.

What resonated with me is if it can be sensitized one say, neuroplasticity can desensitize you the other way just as slowly.

Maybe buy headphones that let you adjust the level of noise cancelling gradually.

At the same time, noise pollution is a real issue and more of a drag on people's energy than realized. Using excellent ear plugs for short burts at a time is also useful for that reason.

Maybe it's a good thing noise cancelling ear buds could only have 5 hours or so of battery life at a time for both ears.
I'm not "blaming" anyone.

Not sure how you can have the software without the hardware.

Screens are addictive. Why they are addictive is an interesting question- but regardless of the software being used- video games, social media, browsing the web, the fact remains that these activities are all addictive. I suspect it's just because screens are shiny, colorful, interactive objects. It doesn't matter what app you give a baby or a chimp, they will stare at the screen for many hours. TV addiction illustrates my point further.

Anyways, this is all besides my original question. Apple/Google feel like the IBM/HP of old. What shape will the new Apple/Google take?
Only if you use them in conjunction with an HTML5 supercomputer.

> According to the National Registry of Exonerations, in a study of 268 cases, 34% of minors reported giving a false confession.

It's a matter of perspective and expectations.

The automobile was a useful invention. I don't know if back then there was a lot of hype around how it can do anything a horse can do, but better. People might have complained about how it can't come to you when called, can't traverse stairs, or whatever.

It could do _one_ thing a horse could do better: Pull stuff on a straight surface. Doing just one thing better is evidently valuable.

I think AI is valuable from that perspective, you provide a good example there. I might well be disappointed if I would expect it to be better than humans at anything humans can do. It doesn't have to. But with wording like "co-scientist", I see where that comes from.
Yes, but we've managed to do it automatically without any library/language specific hooks! It's probably one of my favourite things in Subtrace :)

We generate an ephemeral TLS root CA certificate and inject it into the system store. The generated certificate is entirely in-memory and never leaves the machine. To make this work without root privileges, we intercept the open(2) syscall to see if it's /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt (or equivalent). If so, we append the ephemeral root CA to the list of actual CA certificates; if not, we let the kernel handle the file open like usual. This way, none of the other programs are affected, so only the program you start with `subtrace run` sees and trusts the ephemeral root CA.

After we get the program to trust the ephemeral root CA, we can proxy outgoing TLS connections through Subtrace transparently but also read the cleartext bytes.

All of this is fully automatic, of course.
Not exactly groundbreaking predictions given the trillion or so dollars in tax cuts being proposed.
> I wonder what's changed?

Maybe I'm too cynical, but I suspect pressure from leadership to package whatever they had in vague language and ambiguous terms to create marketing copy that makes it appear the team is doing amazing work even though in two years we'll still be in roughly the same place we are today wrt quantum computing.

Reading through the announcement I see lots of interesting sounding ideas and claims that don't matter "designed to scale to a million qubits on a single chip" (why does that matter if we're still far, far away from more than a few thousands qubits?) and zero statements about actual capabilities that are novel or ground breaking.
Ah, maybe not well into construction. But a friend of mine works with exotic materials and they are purchasing lots of things for ARC. Though I imagine these materials have a long lead time.
Shares of near-bankrupt companies have strong option-like characteristics, similar to out-of-the-money call options on the company's survival (because they are worth zero if debtors are not able to be paid off, nonzero otherwise).

If you know the basics about how options are priced the wild swings shouldn't come as a surpise at all.

I have used brain.fm for a lot of years when I'd remember to (meaning I needed it), and recently started experimenting with Endel, which has been more useful than I anticipated.

That's hard to believe. Even Quectel (random Chinese IoT modem manufacturer, which is also using Qualcomm modem SoCs) gets to have Qualcomm modem source code. I know, because they ship it modified with their own AT commands implemented and other changes. If random chinese company can ship modified Qualcomm modem firmware, Apple surely can, too. :D

Massive chunks (millions of lines) of Qualcomm modem firmware (the part running on Hexagon DSP cores) are even leaked on github for anyone to see.

Apple is bound to have uptodate and probably even completely source available Qualcomm firmware at its engineers' fingertips. And they have more leverage than random Chinese IoT manufacturer, to request ability to modify it as they see fit. And they'll certainly have at least the parts that are relevant for the control you're talking about.

The decision most likely comes down to politics (any help optimizing qualcomm modems directly benefits everyone using them, and that's a lot of android phones out there), and not these kinds of technical issues.
What if they want to contact you and you use Signal?
There's a very large uptick in google searches in the Washington D.C. area for tools like this and how to wipe data effectively, seemingly as a way to get rid of any incriminating data before e.g. DOGE finds its way to it and makes people accountable for what the data represents.

Mine felt immediately worse after the ORIF. After two weeks getting comfortable in their new positions, all the ligaments really resented getting wrenched back into place.

Good illustration was that my run of the mill, 45 minute surgery ended up taking 4.5 hours.

It’s good to hear that everything felt good after your plate was removed. At 18 months post-surgery, I’m in a really good place where I can do most anything I want. Only occasionally experience discomfort if my son headbutts the plate or a backpack strap rubs on it. I was in two minds about having it removed as it would be a step backwards to post-surgical, but the likelihood of me doing something stupid again in the future means it’s worth it. Rather have the fuse that a clavicle is rather than fracture my sternum!

I don't think so.

"Nearly half of dictatorships start as a military coup, though others have been started by foreign intervention, elected officials ending competitive elections, insurgent takeovers, popular uprisings by citizens, or legal maneuvering by autocratic elites to take power within their government. Between 1946 and 2010, 42% of dictatorships began by overthrowing a different dictatorship, and 26% began after achieving independence from a foreign government. Many others developed following a period of warlordism." [1]

1990s was the time that the AIDS epidemic took hold. Lots of needle-sharing addicts died, reducing the number of crimes needed to support their habits. AIDS also affected the prison population, further reducing the number of active criminals.
It's not that it is "better" but that the choice is individual, not up to the mastodon server. In Mastodon, you trade Elon for some other group of individuals, so what happens if they make decision on moderation or content you do not agree with?

ATProto is designed around accounts that are independent of data host, application, and moderation, all in the name of giving users individual control over these things. It's like if every Mastodon user ran their own server, but without the overhead
You must let go. This not happening anymore. That boat sailed for all OEMs. It will just lead to heartache and defeat and frustration or a combo of these.
Why are you assuming that if a cop is talking to a 15-17 year old child that the child is in a gang or has committed a crime? The police talk to lots of people for lots of different reasons and they may interrogate subjects who have not committed any crimes at all for the purpose of gathering information.
I'm amazed too because I had a genuine Mandela-effect moment here. I really thought they'd had gone bankrupt years ago.
Show HN: RemoteLiz – Global Search Engine for Remote Jobs
Hello HN!

I built RemoteLiz — a global search engine for remote jobs that are programmatically verified on being real and actually hiring. Unlike most remote job boards, RemoteLiz crawls company career pages directly, and I manually verify whether each company is legit and actively hiring (That'll be automized).

Backstory Time!!

I’ve been working remotely for over eight years, and when I recently looked for a new remote job, I kept running into the same problem: job listings claiming to be “remote” but actually location-restricted. After talking with friends who had the exact same frustration, I decided to build RemoteLiz to fix this.

What’s Different?

Direct Crawling: Remoteliz crawls company career pages to find current openings.

Manual + Automated Checks: I personally vet companies for legitimacy, and then remoteliz uses LLMs to analyze job descriptions.

Global Focus: RemoteLiz aims to help you find truly remote roles in your country, not just “remote in one country.”

I’d love to hear your thoughts on this project.

Note: I’m a solo founder juggling everything, so you might encounter bugs. I’ll keep fixing them as I go.

Stay Remotelizely!
Of course ... were you expecting the people who got fired to just forgive and forget? No, go to a large consultancy, get hired for twice your normal pay, renting you out to your previous employer for ... nobody cares, but WAY more than they paid you before.

Congress makes lots of rules about how the executive can wield power:

* FOIA tells the executive branch when/how to share documents.

* APA tells executive agencies what they have to do to make a rule.

* Congress gives line item budgets, and the executive doesn't get to reassign funds.

* Executive agencies must submit to audits from GAO (within congress)

It's perfectly reasonable for congress to limit how executive agency heads can be hired/fired too. After all, it's agencies that congress enacted and gave power too, and for legitimiate reasons that congress has.
Right off the bat "can scale to a million qubits" tells you it's BS since it only says what could be possible but makes zero claims about what it current does.

The thing I'd add is that Apple often achieves what it does by doing less. People assume that because Apple makes great things that they can make a lot of different great things. But that's where a lot of other companies falter: they make too many different things to really make a few great things.

Small phones are also difficult. Memory, processors, and batteries don't shrink. For an iPhone mini, they're going to be shipping essentially the same chips taking up the same amount of space. That space is going to have to come at the expense of things like the battery and cooling. It's a lot easier to engineer something with looser tolerances. If you have a giant phone, it's easy to have extra room to keep the phone cool and stuff in a battery.

It also probably meant limiting some choices for the rest of the iPhone lineup. Apple wants to be able to re-use components and to some extent it's going to mean that Apple either has to make choices that work for both a 6.1" and 5.4" form factor or do separate things.

There is some demand for an iPhone mini. I love the iPhone mini. I also see the challenge for Apple.

I think there's also a reason why we haven't seen a successful Android mini phone. It's hard to make a mini phone and the sales numbers are comparatively small.

But maybe we'll see an iPhone mini in a few years time. If Apple can create an integrated CPU/modem/WiFi/Bluetooth chip, that could end up saving a decent amount of space while also reducing power requirements. Maybe we'll be able to go SIM-less around the world and that could save space.

At the same time, it's hard to make the same number of people make another, more challenging form factor and it's hard to scale out with more people too. Plus, do you put your best engineers on the hardest project (the mini) when it's only 3% of sales? Or do you hire new, less experienced, possibly lower skilled people for that and hope you don't put out a product that isn't good?

It's a tough challenge for a tiny amount of sales which, ultimately, aren't going to decide to leave Apple for Android where they also can't get a small phone.
