Many comments deep now but I think my original point was that this would change the security boundary, which I still believe, and that changing the security boundary is net negative for Apple users which I also still believe.

You’re saying there a logical gap between opening up a radio based endpoint on an iPhone and allowing more spam in the system, or at least there’s no reason to think that it would be a different order of magnitude than blue bubbles.

I want badly to agree with you, at least enough to stop bike shedding about it. So let me try: Some possible implementations of opening up sms probably don’t add easier volume and programmatic sms options for developers. If you’re happy with that then we’re in agreement.

I think the main ‘easiest path’ implementation would increase spam though - turning on an iOS app’s ability to directly programmatically interact with messages on device and send and receive them over a radio would allow for simpler automates message parsing, creation and distribution; Apple is clearly not interested in this being a feature available to App Store developers. And Apple would then be in the position of having to do some sort of bound to fail static analysis to prove the messages aren’t being sent out to an IP endpoint at some point, or including requests from some endpoint. And this is both because of the extension of the hardware security circle and because of the necessary feature of having a human out of the loop in iMessage actions.

I propose that this would increase spam on iMessage in that case. It would allow an app maker to use sms without human in the loop, essentially, extending notification to sms without humans opting in.

Either way I think that’s probably what I need as imagining, admittedly a bit vaguely in my initial reference. Appreciate the back and forth.
ChatGPT can just send you something that is completely wrong, and you have no way of knowing. That's why it's bad. On Wikipedia, for example, there is page history, page discussions, rules about sources, sources, and you can see who wrote what. Additionally, its likely someone knowledgeable has looked at the EXACT text you're reading, with all implied and not implied nuances.

ChatGPT doesn't get nuances. It doesn't get subtle differences. It also gets large amounts of information wrong.
Iceland is a nice halfway point between the EU and the American continent, its a 5 hour flight from Boston and a 3.5 hour flight from London, its not a bad place to consider
RedHat is a pretty small % of total linux installations. I think you're reaching a bit with this general line of argumentation.
As a European I can only read that and say “What? You don’t get that in the US?”
Rapid flashing is usually an indicator of a LED failure, not the driver. In my experience (and I fixed many LEDs), drivers almost never fail - it’s always the diodes, dying from too much heat.

Are you trying to claim that because he didn't specifically mention ADHD, despite mentioning the drug used to treat ADHD, that he's not talking about ADHD despite him holding views about neurodiversity that are at odds with the published literature on their treatment?
As far as I understand, the evidence was discovered after his devices were seized, so even if it hadn't been sent to a server, his browser history was enough to get him into trouble.
Yes, it is a thing the US does.
That is why we have GDPR in Europe, and it severely restricts how personal data is shared across companies.

The punishments can be severe, and we have swift institutions that really monitor this.

I’m yet to meet a company that doesn’t stress about that internally.
Mark Shuttleworth of Ubuntu is no less an executive than Matt Hicks if you'd rather use that distro instead.

Mozilla has a CEO, and arguably if they paid better they'd have a better one at the helm.

Woah! We are fortunate to be able to interact with such interesting people. I don't suppose it would be a little cheeky if I asked if you knew anybody I could ask for work experience.
But if a transgender traveller applied for a visa with their birth sex instead of the sex on their documentation, this would very likely cause them to be flagged at the border, and they'd have a very difficult time entering the country (and reaching the conference). Surely you must agree?
iTerm and Terminal are pieces of software emulate a physical terminal environment. They take the output of programs/shells output characters and control codes to render text, clear the screen, etc.

The terminal emulator receives keyboard input via your operating system, and passes it to the shell program via stdin.

The shell is responsible for prompting you and handling whatever you type.
For example the “$ “ waits for next character from the terminal emulator until you hit newline.

The shell is responsible for parsing your input, executing any child programs “ls” for example, outputting their content to stdout, and prompting you again.
The current advice from the German government to me (a trans woman) is that I am ineligible to enter the US and will be detained at the border for presenting 'fraudulently'.

Colleague generated this satirical bit the other week, I wouldn't call it vanilla or poorly written.

"Right, so what the hell is this cursed nonsense? Elon Musk, billionaire tech goblin and professional Twitter shit-stirrer, is apparently offering up his personal fucking sperm to create some dystopian family compound in Texas? Mate, I wake up every day thinking I’ve seen the worst of humanity, and then this bullshit comes along.

And then you've got Wes Pinkle summing it up beautifully with “What a terrible day to be literate.” And yeah, too fucking right. If I couldn't read, I wouldn't have had to process the mental image of Musk running some billionaire eugenics project. Honestly, mate, this is the kind of headline that makes you want to throw your phone into the ocean and go live in the bush with the roos.

Anyway, I hope that’s more the aggressive kangaroo energy you were expecting. You good, or do you need me to scream about something else?"

Which is why I advocate that HN people go to Shenzen. If they truly think that China copies/steals their most important tech, they'll be in for a shock because China is ahead in many industries. China can't copy and lead at the same time.
The statement “US operates secret bioweapons labs in Ukraine” is obviously false and made up disinformation. The US financed gain of function labs in Ukraine is a fact on the other hand.
Sure, by their enemies. Not by their allies.
I don't want to downplay your feelings there, but under Trump 2.0 it has become clearer to those of us in allied nations that things are not as they were, and that even long-term friends can now be insulted and thrown under the bus. I think there is a qualitative change here.
This is a huge step forward for AI. Can't wait to see how Claude integrates with other apps.
Yes I think the same. It really felt demystifying the experience for me when I first tried zed, and I already had that belief about LLMs. But when you use an LLM through a normal chat interface, it feels different, and they are also tuned to feel that way, like talking to somebody. Maybe this is why this approach is avoided by those who have some stake on AI, even if it is better UX.
Whataboutism isn't starting a dialogue, you're trying to shut it down - perhaps peruse the community guidelines before posting.
Very cool, also amazing that someone did all the work of taking and collecting and storing the material and not accidentally, like, label a roll of film or a print or something.

I found it mildly amusing in a meta sort of way that the article about a collection of photos by an unknown photographer features a bunch of the photos, while crediting them to the current owner of the collection (Bill Delzell).

I understand that in a way he provided the image, so in that sense he is the source, but that's not being made clear in the captions.
Well, if you're Palestinian, Germany can be really harsh and I won't bet on your safety..
Eh, most of the benefits are offset by the stress of having to care about the needs of corporate america and all the ensuing implications of making a living by destroying society. Just because it's not a physical job doesn't mean this stress won't kill you.

It's also worth noting that developers remain some of the most proportionately under-compensated jobs compared to the revenue we drive and we're all aware of it. It's the shareholders that need to justify their existence.
There is no mention of regular killing of foreigners. The only mention of murder is from 1990...

Too many companies nowadays just straight up lock all relevant documentation behind a contract and an NDA.

It's all been privatized and they don't care about anything other than maintaing profits so of course we're seeing the effects now. It's also why every single water provider in the UK is dumping raw sewage into our rivers and when the government tries to make them fix it they cry about how that will eat into their profits and how it's unfair.
This is also in some weird way, also US foreign policy, I guess.
AFAICT, this wasn't actually how the Germans framed the concentration camps at all. The article you responded to is about how a woman described them in 2010.

The closest thing I can find is here: https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/deceiving-...

And this film was never even shown broadly as it was made near the end of the war. Also, it's technically for a ghetto and not a concentration camp.

No AI I've asked and no links I've found suggest that concentration camps were broadly propagandized as anything similar to "wellness farms".
The earliest versions of the first C compiler known to exist
What makes you say that it is family-friendly with a blooming economy?

Orbán just banned Pride events nationwide, and vowed to use facial recognition software to fine anyone attending. This all in an attempt to placate the minority of the populace who want these kind of draconian measures (polling points out that the majority of Hungarians do not support this ban), and to draw attention away from the inflation, economy, and terrible state of healthcare and education.

A utopia for white Christian traditionalist families who feel Putin is just a misunderstood leader trying to protect his people. Not quite as family friendly to any other family. Family-friendly to me means that a place is actually conductive to raising a family, regardless of what your children grow up to be. This includes children who discover that they are gay or trans (or even just atheist or non-Christian). And are families made up of two gay parents welcome too? Otherwise 'family-friendly' is just a fascist dog whistle.
Are you implying that docker or podman hasn't been made by _technical people_?
In fairness to your point - Ubuntu is a very, very strange company with wildly absurd hiring practices. Ubuntu + RedHat sells your position well.

Of course we should acknowledge that there are many viable Linux distributions out there which aren't part of bloated dysfunctional organizations. But I do fear for Linux itself after Torvalds.
It's strange that searches add a filter pill with a cross, but a new search just replaces all the filters. It would be great to iteratively build up filters.
I have never understood the trans women in sports thing. I see why it could be unfair to allow them to compete but that is a thing I would like the sports associations to handle. Being born with a male body could be a big advantage in some sports but not in others. Why should our politicians micromanage sports rules? Especially to make them more restrictive. Let the sports associations handle this.

I hate this culture war micromanagment where politicians write moral laws for things where there should not be any law.

All of those things look like they’re about being detained for several weeks when trying to enter the US? Why wouldn’t they just refuse you entry instead?
In Elixir/Erlang thats quite common I think, at least I do this for when performance matters. Put the specific subset of commonly used data into a ETS table (= in memory cache, allowing concurrent reads) and have a GenServer (who owns that table) listen to certain database change events to update the data in the table as needed.

Helps a lot with high read situations and takes considerable load off the database with probably 1 hour of coding effort if you know what you're doing.
I think the issue here is mostly the background the CI setups came from. They were frequently coming from the "ops" part of the ecosystem, and some ops folks held some ideas very strongly back then (I heard this first hand):

"Application and configuration should be separate, ideally in separate repos. It is the admin's job to configure, not the developer's"

"I do not need to learn your garbage language to understand how to deploy or test your application"

"...as a matter of fact, I don't need to learn the code and flows of the application itself either - give me a binary that runs. But it should work with stale configs in my repo."

"...I know language X works for the application but we need something more ubiquitous for infra"

Then there was a crossover of three streams, as I would call it:

YAML was emerging "hard" on the shoulders of Rails

Everyone started hating on XML (and for a good reason)

Folks working on CI services (CruiseControl and other early solutions) and ops tooling (chef, ansible) saw JSON's shortcomings (now an entire ecosystem has configuration files with no capability to put in a comment)

Since everybody hated each other's languages, the lowest common denominator for "configuration code" came out to be YAML, and people begrudgingly agreed to use it

The situation then escalated severely with k8s, which adopted YAML as "the" configuration language, and a whole ecosystem of tooling sprung up on top using textual templating (!) of YAML as a layer of abstraction. For k8s having a configuration language was an acute need, because with a compiled language you need something for configuration that you don't have to compile with the same toolchain just to use - and I perfectly "get it" why they settled for YAML. I do also get why tools like Helm were built on top of YAML trickery - because, be it that Helm were written in some other language, and have its charts use that, they would alienate all the developers that either hate that language personally, or do not have it on the list of "golden permitted" at their org.

Net result is that YAML was chosen not because it is good, but because it is universally terrible in the same way for everyone, and people begrudgingly settled on it.

With CI there is an extra twist that a good CI setup functions as a DAG - some tasks can - and should - run in parallel for optimization. These tasks produce artifacts which can be cached and reused, and a well-set CI pipeline should be able to make use of that.

Consequently, I think a possible escape path - albeit an expensive one - would be for a "next gen" CI system to expose those _task primitives_ via an API that is easy to write SDKs for. Read: not a grpc API. From there, YAML could be ditched as "actual code" would manipulate the CI primitives during build.

I think you'll be surprised at how little of your taxes go to those things and how many of those things are actually supported by donations and proceeds from sales of things like memorabilia in gift shops.

I bought gifts for people. They liked them. I'm sure you can think of some children in your life who would appreciate a notion of caring from the Smithsonian.
They require issuance of paper visas and an in-person interview. It's _easier_ than B1/B2 visas; but in the overall scheme of things not _that_ much easier.

Yeah, this is a question that has been discussed for many years but since so many good conferences happen in the US and that Europeans rarely had to suffer this treatment in the past people have been lazy and allowed this to happen since they were not personally affected. Now that all of the world is affected it is easier to get momentum for action on this.
