Are you familiar with `syntax-rules` based macros? Because this is roughly the same logic here.

It's trying to unify how macros produce syntax objects via `syntax-rules`-style pattern matching and ellipses with how regular pattern matching on values works, so there aren't two separate pattern languages (one for macros and one for everything else).
IIRC caBLE ("cloud assisted bluetooth low energy") sidesteps the usual bluetooth pairing process by using out-of-band channels (QR codes, NFC) to exchange initial pairing information.
Business While Working at FAANG
I work at a FAANG company as a software engineer, and I also engage in entrepreneurial activities in my free time. According to my contract, without the company's approval, I cannot be self-employed or work as a contractor elsewhere. Additionally, any intellectual property (IP) created during working hours or as part of their projects belongs to them. I am not violating any of these rules.

Do I need to take any additional precautions to ensure that when my business grows, the FAANG company cannot make claims over it? Also, could this become a risk for future investors?
Coaches and other front office personnel aren't required to enter a union to work for a club.

There is a union for coaches and it's entirely voluntary. Which is why you won't see Belichick in most Madden games as his contract has to be negotiated separately.
Yeah, you're right, that does seem to be very specific.
The battery on the Ultras is about double the regular series watch batteries, so that tracks.

Unions in the past century were strongest when there was a chronic labor shortage. Somewhere around the 1970s the labor shortage ended, and that's also about the time that union power began a serious decline.

Negotiating solo against a large organization with an available labor pool is the weakest possible position, even if the type of talent is in demand. I'd argue that people always want the power in compensation negotiations that's only obtainable by forming strong associations. It's just a matter of whether they can get it or not based on the political power of their counterparties. This type of conflict has been happening since the dawn of civilization.
For example if you could discriminate positively towards Chinese and negatively towards Indians and meet the claims in question.
If they were making money hand over fist, they would likely just change the policy. Or at least if somebody would acquire them.

Apparently their VC investors were not seeing the hockey stick growth, so they decided to cut the losses. Taking VC money is a more risky bet than other forms of investment. If your business is profitable, but small and is growing 5-7% a year, and no acquisition is sight, most likely it's going to be shut down.
DST really bothers me. I actually have a wall clock set to local solar time, so that I can quickly see what time it "really" is. For some reason I've always been very sensitive to when sunrise and sunset is, and having them offset makes my brain feel weird.

Not surprising. There are different ways to view identity, and none of us are any one thing. Your observation underscores my point that providing support along the lines of identity can be completely benign sans a political context.

That said, feel free to substitute a more homogenous country if that helps to clarify my point.

Calling the parent myopic while saying "Also, humanity is hardly an economy of capitalism any more. More similar to oligarchical capital feudalism." Is deserving of snark.

In the context of 5 centuries of capitalism we live in an age of unprecedented equality, freedom, and opportunity.

Further, observed over the last 5000 years of human civilization the stupendous rise of innovation under capitalism is so dramatic that implying it is not responsible for the wealth we enjoy today beggars belief.

Yeah I have to say the north of Europe is bad folks. Winters are terrible. You just go to work/school in the dark and come home in the dark. There’s also less snow now than twenty years ago which means even less light.

In the summer it’s light outside for more hours than you are awake. Okay wow, so what? It’s a nice novelty. But it doesn’t make up for it. Not remotely.

Midsummer is a sad time because now I know that I will lose X minutes every day of light.

Using DST is just the extra bit of small cruelty on top of that.

As reported here: https://wallstreetpit.com/125292-elon-musks-x-secures-1b-in-...

...there was a $1B round with Elon and Darsana Capital Partners, which doesn't seem to be a VC, and the relative participation wasn't reported.

This seems to be Elon bailing out Twitter to pay interest and operations deficits, dressed up as an investment.

Oddly, though they could've probably priced the round any way they wanted to, the valuation reported was $32B.
July - September, yes, we have oppressive sunshine.

Spring/fall tend to be cloudy & rainy, and November to February-ish is referred to as "the big dark" - the days are short and the sun is low and obscured by clouds when it's above the horizon. Sounds like you'd get a lot done then (as do many people here).

Would be pretty funny but practically I don't think it matters that much.

Someone could steal my company's entire codebase and, outside potential password leaks, it'd really have little impact on our business. The code itself is less valuable than the coders, the data, and the business connections we've made.

Certainly not the case for all software, but I'd wager 90% of the work HN does would fall into this category.
No new customers is not shutting down services you rely on. It's the exact opposite. It's making sure things you rely on continue to work until you are ok leaving it.

And SimpleDB has been deprecated for years. I don't know think there's a single service you could have picked to better highlight the point.

The biggest problem w/ 4G is that it is expensive because of the very close coordination between base stations (typically you're not attached to one base station but to several on the same frequency simultaneously, so you need high bandwidth between the base stations or you might have a distributed antenna network over optic fiber connected to one mega-base station.) We were told the benefit of 5G was that it would be faster, but a pure-5G network ought to be cheaper to build than a 4G network, although carriers want to position it as something you pay more for, not less for.

Rhombus massively advances the state of the art for macro systems in infix languages. Macros in Scala, Rust, and Elixer are extremely limited compared to Rhombus macros. The enforestation-based approach that Rhombus uses and the underlying Racket macro machinery means that things like Rhombus's class system, pattern matching system, annotation system, infix operator system, etc. are all implementable as macros. That's definitely not the case in Scala, Rust, or Elixir. Imagine if the base Rust language included only a macro system and `unsafe` code and the borrow checker could be implemented as a regular library in `std`.

This is really true. People love to say, "Just don't make the same mistake twice" or whatever, but part of the necessity of ingesting truly novel information is that you're gonna weave back and trip over yourself a ton of times before you get to that clean refined mental model.

For me, note-taking is a godsend - I don't know how I would live without it. Anywhere from hyper specific detailed notes to just unstructured rants. It's the equivalent of storing things in memory - that alone makes algorithms far more powerful.

It doesn't help with real-time tasks like talking though... but I've noticed I have gotten a bit better at talking ever since I started note taking.

I think the "learn instinctually by doing stuff a lot" approach definitely is useful but note-taking is a healthy balance between that and getting perma-stuck in research mode.

> Wilmore: I can tell you at the outset, all of us have the utmost respect for Mr. Musk, and obviously, respect and admiration for our president of the United States, Donald Trump. We appreciate them. We appreciate all that they do for us, for human space flight, for our nation. The words they said, politics, I mean, that's part of life. We understand that. And there's an important reason why we have a political system, a political system that we do have, and we're behind it 100 percent. We know what we've lived up here, the ins and outs, and the specifics that they may not be privy to. And I'm sure that they have some issues that they are dealing with, information that they have, that we are not privy to. So when I think about your question, that's part of life, we are on board with it.

> Wilmore: From my standpoint, politics is not playing into this at all. From our standpoint, I think that they would agree, we came up prepared to stay long, even though we plan to stay short. That's what we do in human spaceflight.

> Wilmore: I can only say that Mr. Musk, what he says, is absolutely factual. We have no information on that, though, whatsoever; what was offered, what was not offered; who it was offered to, how that process went. That's information that we simply don't have. So I believe him. I don't know all those details, and I don't think any of us really can give you the answer that maybe that you would be hoping for.

To be honest "what he says, is absolutely factual. We have no information on that, though, whatsoever; what was offered, what was not offered; who it was offered to, how that process went" should register quite highly on anyone's political bullshit meter because "absolutely factual" is a statement that makes a claim that they then say they don't have any facts about.

Anyone who reports those quotes as "comfirming Musk's version" should lose a lot of trust.
That's much of the west coast (west of the cascades). I moved from Seattle to the Bay Area, and it's basically the same weather except somewhat shorter summer days and winter nights, WAY more sunshine, and generally about 10f warmer. Except in the summers where these days it seems like Seattle has more 95+ degree days than the peninsula does.
All light rails either operate like heavy rail (controlled from a central control area, receive clearances and obey rail signals) or they are just busses on tracks and operate by the rules of the road. Some are both.

The second are easy, and you just need permission in general. The first you need communication with the central office.

This is all done for maintenance vehicles for the tracks, which are often contractors.

>Straight white men, or even just white people, is in no way the "default" at Google, and very far from the 90% in your allegory.

That said, Asian+White does make up 90%+ of Google's workforce, split roughly in half. Interestingly, there's an Asian ERG.

>They could run a peertube instance to

They could. But then 6 months later, they'll review the logs, see no one's really watching it there, and will get bored with supporting it. Then it's on the chopping block. Which, because of networking effects, subtly hurts other instances at other organizations. As there are fewer things to view with Peertube, fewer people go out and discover any further content with it because they never started watching it in the first place.

Sort of reminded of this one shopping mall I used to go to as a kid in Ohio. Looked it up a few years ago, completely empty except for one store on the bottom flood... do you think that store sees any extra foot traffic?

>Joe Schmoe doesn't need to know what peertube even is.

Someone who wanted to kill Peertube dead with fire couldn't murder it as thoroughly as your attitude does. You get that right?
>What would an ERG for white people even do? What would you want from it?

The exact same thing as anyone of any other group of course.

To be clear, Whites are a minority at Google. They are also not even the largest group. (Not that this should matter - all groups have the right to exist).

> Is it the case that early engineers would review and change resulting assembly?

I'm a graybeard (~40 years as a dev) and I've never heard of people doing that, at least not because of any wariness about compilers. That's not to say it didn't happen, of course, just that I never saw it.

It did sometimes happen that something needed to be written in assembly for performance or space reasons, and devs would start with assembly generated by a compiler to save dev time, though. Not that often, but it happened.

I suspect that criminality is correlated with stupidity, but that doesn't make all criminals stupid.

E.g. scammers based in non-extradition territories may be making a savvy career choice, if we ignore matters of conscience.

> Read the article I linked above, also written by Eric Berger! Butch confirmed Elon's claim that he made an offer to bring them home last year was accurate. So we know that that offer was made, and must have been rejected. What we don't know is why.

Read his goddamn quote you're citing. The part where he says "We have no information on that, though, whatsoever; what was offered, what was not offered; who it was offered to, how that process went".

Which part of "I believe him despite having no information" do you think is "confirming"?
I know how to read, and that MR comment sounds 100% reasonable to me. Normally you'd take a comment like that, go "oh, okay let me do some more investigations" and start a dialog instead of going "they rejected my MR on the first pass, they don't know what they're doing and their library is antiquated".

Where's the follow-up, or did you just walk away?
The academics are correct, and they are very serious. Your "serious middle ground" is itself a rather extreme viewpoint, and that's just not how this debate should be defined. Here's how I'd define it:

* Extreme pro-LLM: sure these tools are ethical, super useful, and should be adopted by virtually everyone into most workflows.

* Moderate middle ground: these tools are largely unethical and extremely problematic on socio-economic & philosophical grounds—we should publicise these numerous issues and craft strict regulation around their use.

* Extreme anti-LLM: we should sabotage the data centers powering these existential threats to humanity and the environment. If governments won't outlaw the technology, we'll take matters into our own hands.

FWIW, I'm somewhere on the spectrum between moderate and extreme anti-LLM.

Switch to a MIPS transflective or e-paper display as on a Pebble or Garmin, OLED and LCD displays on Apple and Samsung watches look pretty indoors (when they're not turned off to save power) but are hard to read outside (without excessive brightness) and are battery gobblers.

Just charged my Garmin Fenix for the first time in... 9 days (it was down at 18%, could get a few more days but it makes me nervous), most of the battery use went to some 11 hours of GPS activity recording and heart rate recording. Could get 30 days if I turned off the features the Pebble doesn't have.

Since you are so sure about how Mac Mini's are used, is it 2k on 24" or 27" that these customers use?

My impressions based on limited anecdotal data I've is that most people with mac mini are using it as their secondary device (everyone has a Macbooks). Everyone is using 27" 4k monitors. 4k monitors are not that far from 2k monitors, and I think most people who are preferring to buy 2k are gamers that want higher refresh rate that their GPU can support at 2k. But gamers are not using Mac's anyway.
