Government contracts (ultimately tax money) are the primary way a lot of companies get their money, though. You don't sell fighter aircraft or massive rockets to the public. Even a lot of AI companies like Palantir primarily serve the government.

I agree with this explanation. There is a sizable contingent of commenters on here who are just extremely negative on everything Apple. I read most of the big Apple threads and they're just overwhelmingly negative toward the company and, honestly, not very thoughtful. I think this has been a developing trend since I've been on HN. Since Gruber is coming at things from a pro-Apple, but nuanced place, I'm not at all surprised that his articles don't do well.
Did it really shatter their self image, or it just made every Dane realize that the tabu their society created against speaking badly on the absurdity high taxation they face is actually felt by everyone that is a net contributor of their system?

The middle class citizen in most of Europe is now paying more than 50% of their earnings to the state. I don’t believe a single one actually believes this is anything fair and many surely think it’s oppressive and a form of slavery.

There are only 3 kinds of people that defend these outrageously high taxes:

- the ones that are a net negative to the system

- populist politicians

- people that are indoctrinated to virtue signal about the theme, but that don’t actually believe in it (the ones in the video)

We are really living in the Dictatorship of the Majority.

Ah yes, the "We have a problem over there/I'll just delete 'over there'" approach.
I interact with those people regularly without having the same background as them and this has basically never been the case. I think you've just been talking to horrible people.
I am for that as well. Build dormitories as housing of last resort. Limit tenants rights to make eviction of non-payers easier. As it is landlords take all the risk and it makes life of honest tenants much expensive and more difficult. It should be easy to rent and it should be easy to evict non-paying tenants. If the society thinks we should house everyone then that cost should be on tax payers in general not the unlucky landlord.
People are motivated by genetics and memetics. Genetics makes us get hungry when we don’t eat, gives us sexual urges, things like that that we share with even the simpler forms of life. How we are affected and influenced by those stimuli is largely a matter of genetics.

How we react to those stimuli is governed by culture, or memetics. Like genes, memetic frameworks are also passed on generationally, but with a much higher mutation rate.

Genetics is hardware, which defines possible behaviors. Memetics is operating system and applications, defining actual behaviors.

This comment may haunt me for the rest of my life.
Why do you think criticizing Apple's predatory strategies comes from hate? Do you hate everything you think it is bad? The sympathetic way is to not take disagreement as hate. Why do you hate people that dislike Apple's way of doing business? Do you hate everybody that dislike things you love?

About Nintendo, I don't develop games nor play them, I couldn't care less about what the market leaders do.
Yeah, I'm not disagreeing with you. Just pre-emptively putting that out there to answer the inevitable "B...b...b...but unlike people, AI sometimes makes stuff up!" response from nervous gatekeepers.

That is called "Volkswagen" testing. Some years ago that automaker had mechanism in cars which detected when the vehicle was being examined and changed something so it would pass the emission tests. There are repositories on github that make fun of it.
Totally, I actually think this would make for a really great custom assistant, probably even something we'd feature on the front page: https://hub.continue.dev/explore/assistants

Yes, because different behaviors are appropriate for some games, and not others.

Won't argue with you there, and definitely agree with you that some people in the space just have no concept of a social contract - or at least, their concept is so warped that they're impossible to play with.
Defending against missiles is much harder than defending against planes (be it normal ones or stealth ones). But you're not wrong, as they were supposed to be good at both, and they failed miserably against missiles.

Well, in cities it is usually fine. The breakfast and supper sucks, however, at hospitals. :P Lunch has always been great everywhere in my experience. I was at rehab as well (in another county), everything was healthy, from breakfast, to lunch, to supper, and good portions. You could even get more ("repeta") if you wanted to, and of course it was "free" (TB-based).
If you accept the statement: "poverty causes violence", and "wealthy people (ultimately) cause others to be poor (which I can admit is a tenuous claim, but I think many people would agree, at least in certain cases), then all "violent revolution/rebellion" is is a redistribution of suffering, bringing it back to those who caused it.

It's an incredibly murky train of logic though. Most wealthy people have done nothing directly to cause the poor to suffer. But if you examine it closely, you can find links from greed <---> suffering everywhere.
This, whenever I get these sorts of questions on interviews I don't know how to answer, because my weirdest or hardest bug isn't something I've internalized as a war story, it was just another day.

It's just like those "what did you do when you had conflict with another employee" questions. I either worked it out with them like an adult or got our management involved and they worked it out for them. It's not some hero narrative I considered much past the time it happened.
This looks like the very complaint of "specification gaming". I was wondering how will it show up in llm's...looks like this is the way it presented itself..
One of the things you have to take into account is that a lot of these tech companies grew in the gaps of regulation, while legacy companies were forced to abide by standards and regulations; for a lot of tech companies, they broke the markets and thrived in the infrastructure paid for by taxpayers.

Uber, Airbnb are good examples of this. When regulation caught up with them, the damage was done for better or worse. To this day, some regulators still struggle to keep up due to the lack of resources, and the tech does achieve this... and now you have tech oligarchs dismantling the government bodies responsible for regulation.

So I don't think it's just a matter of people upskilling to generate more value, because people pay taxes for the work they do - they can't afford the lawyers and structures to avoid this. The people who have the luck and the opportunities to generate this kind of value are already doing it, or will do it, or don't want to do it.

So while I agree with you, and people should have access to the opportunities to upskill and to generate value, I also think there's a massive gap in income and taxes in a lot of democratic countries. These things can go, and should go, together.

This is the china of "let it rot"[1] and a housing market so f'd that people felt pressure to buy and pay for houses that didn't even exist yet, leading to a massive mortgage boycott[2] in protest of all the resultant shenanigans? They're already failing to keep up the growth[3], their population pyramid projections are pretty bleak going forward.

I agree with you re the need to convince modern western voters of an (actual) abundant future, but china seems like they're not doing so hot either.

Oh no, I mean that there are current AI models that have some understanding of tone of voice. (With a definition of "understand" that is different from yours so as not to be a vacuous statement). I just now went to https://www.sesame.com/research/crossing_the_uncanny_valley_... and asked it to interpret my mood as I said the same words in different tones, and it did a reasonable job.

I have been running lockdown mode for a while now and it can be painful for shopping but usable. You can disable it on a per site basis in Safari. Stolen device protection mode on also.

To do it and enable side loading you need to do two resets to enable developer mode.
I am able to enable a configuration profile also without a problem. It was installed and enabled pre-lockdown and re-enabled in lockdown mode.
I just enabled location services for camera and it correctly gps tagged my photo.

The only pain points I have are if someone texts me something other than a picture which is a lockdown feature. For some reason usps tracking webpage fails on all browsers except on Firefox/Firefox focus browser. A few heavily tracked apps or shopping websites don’t like it but tolerate it. Pain: You cannot search your iMessages.
I can turn lockdown off on a per app basis excluding iMessage also but have not needed to.
For anyone wanting to build sprite type code on the Apple II, you really should read this article in Byte magazine:

Preshift-Table Graphics on your Apple
by Bill Budge, with Gregg Williams and Rob Moore. A23
Move blocks of pixels across the screen with only 3K bytes of overhead

It's kind of hard to find, it's in the December 1984 Byte magazine, but an additional magazine at the end of the PDF, Bytes Guide to Apple.

At the time this was huge, Bill Budge was probably the most well known game programmer, so getting a look inside how he wrote code was a big thing.

Of course, as mentioned elsewhere, graphics is hard on the Apple II because of the complex memory layout due to Woz wanting to save a few chips. This can be contrasted with the Atari and Commodore computers that had custom chips that made graphics a lot easier.

> Do people abuse the process? Sure, some do. They get away with it at most once, because...there's a record of it all in housing court and eviction proceedings are pretty much a deathblow with any landlord doing their homework.

The problem is that for large corporate landlords this is a statistical risk that can be priced in and accounted for across hundreds of units.

For small mom-and-pop landlords renting out their basement, it's a roll of the dice on whether any given tenant will completely ruin their life and be impossible to get rid of.

Of course many people will respond to this by saying that the rights of people to have a place to live are more important than the rights of homeowners to have a bit of side income, but if the law makes it too risky to rent out a second suite, nobody will want to do it -- which makes the housing crisis even worse for renters as there will be fewer places available to rent.
>If signed into law, Assembly Bill 1264 would establish the first statutory definition of what qualifies as an ultra-processed food…

I had missed the fact that Dagger is apparently trying to... replace? Docker for container definitions. That's a pretty big vision.

I really like the ambition here; it's very hard for me to translate this into belief that I could start using this now and actually replace some of my existing tooling.

At the same time, I kind of hate that they went for bash-compatible. I know everybody thinks bash is unbeatable, but at some point _surely_ we're going to move past its awful syntax and footguns (and SQL, and can I have a pony?)...
So part of the idea would be to keep my secrets out of my default shell? I’ve been looking for ways to do that but I would want specific commands to have access to them. For instance I would just want git and gh to have access to my GitHub credentials and for another program not to be able to spawn git or gh with these credentials. It would also be important not to be able to accidentally run one of these by copy and pasting something. It seems that it would need to at least be partly taken care of by my default shell for it to be usable though.
Does this preserve the land values of currently-economical exurban plots? It seems like some of this kind of policymaking, explicitly or not, involves the metro region as a whole, no? Would these putative land value increases accrue to individual property owners or to the developers that have the capital to build MFDs and rent them out?

I’m not sure how helpful a mental model of “shit location [of] poor-ass republicans” is: last I checked those suburban and exurban landholdings contribute a fair chunk to the state and county property tax bases. Though I’ll grant that I don’t know the nuances, and I don’t know how to think about how to tease out the housing component of urban-dwellers’ land-tax-related contributions, as distinct from those buildings’ commercial functions.

Anyway, your “shit” “poor-asses” certainly are able to muster political opposition to measures that devalue them, even if they are “poor-ass” relative to their, uh, “betters” like you. In fact, your “shit” “poor”s who have accepted an iffy location in order to invest in a home they can afford… those might be even more sensitive to losses affecting their life’s biggest investment, and more likely to think of it as the anchor of their financial security.

For that matter casually condescending attitudes like the one you display here seem to have a lot to do with those constituencies’ political potency, and their reflexive opposition to YIMBY sorts of ideas…
What kind of tooling do you have in mind to replace?

Also what would you prefer to see instead of bash compatible?
That’s a bit orthogonal, though – you can use streaming services when playing live, too.
Did Dagger pivot their product ? I seem to recall the main selling point was an Independent pipeline-as-code service. Looks like they’re trying to rebuild Docker now?

> f and v would make more sense in terms of the actual sounds made?

Depends on the language. In German, f and v sound similar. And from your profile description I am guessing you are from the Netherlands, which I guess also might have f and v sound very similar to one-another.

In Swedish, Norwegian, and Danish, we have pretty clear distinction between f and v.
This is very cool, I often find myself composing together a mixture of Dockerfiles and shell scripts for various images (build X Dockerfile for Y arch, save it as a base, build Z Dockerfile on top of the last thing, with W args). And then having to run it different ways with different mounts, based on if you're on a developer machine/robot/CI, running as a service/adhoc/attaching. This _looks_ like it could solve some of that messiness. I like that it can just reference the output of a build without having to muck around with tags (which are system global and can collide if you're not careful).

I think it lasting 2 minutes is actually an asset. Even though a 2d version etc would be quite interesting, it is great to try such little nice things and then move on to one's day, not everything in the internet has to take that long. And unless one wants to show ads or sth, there is no incentive to actually make it longer anyway.
It is not old school, this is my daily job and we need even more of it with the NN models used in MPC.

> We have cultures that throw gay people off the roofs, and cultures that celebrate them.

And you could take single individuals from either culture and drop them in the other culture, and most of them would happily act and think just like the new culture, and swear blind that they’d always thought that way.

It would be an interesting experiment to see how many individuals you could replace one-by-one before the culture changed. Or perhaps, like a Ship of Theseus, you could replace all the people, but have the culture endure.
I am genuinely surprised by how useful I find this.

UX is definitely on the right track. I wish the LLM was also able to calculate an "important score" for each one of the notes so I could more quickly determine what to flash my eyes over.
This is commonly stated but seems more driven by ideology than science. People's racial identity is near to perfectly correlated with their genetic identity as can be ascertained with a very limited number of genetic markers.

And essentially all of species related biology would be a 'social construct' by such logic. The difference between entire species is often poorly defined. Different species can even interbreed and produce fertile offspring such as a liger. Or take the Australian Dingo which is literally just a wild dog, but it's not classified as one for quite arbitrary reasons.
Yeah for sure, this was specifically designed to solve the problems you describe!
There used to be various sites that allowed you to listen in on the SFPD frequencies, but they switched to a digital version that you'd have to crack, and they're not handing out access to it
Eviction proceedings suck. It takes at least 6 months and you don't get rent in that time even if you have a slam dunk case. Imagine if you took out a home loan to build an ADU and lost the equivalent of half a year of payments on it.

The risk of legal costs are basically passed along in the cost of rent. And bigger corporate landlords are naturally going to have a bigger advantage because they can pool their risks.

The point isn't that there are bad landlords. It's that you are creating a treadmill. The more you add tenant protections, the more costs you add to housing. And the more incentives you give landlords to screen tenants and otherwise behave badly.

> remnants of that talent pool—those who were left behind in the acquisition race—full of principles and philosophical opinions but with little to no grounded experience in actual execution.

I do believe that these people at universities do have experience in the actual execution - of doing research. What they obviously have less experience in is building companies.

> Instead, you find a bunch of PhD students who either didn’t make the cut to be hired by the aforementioned tech companies

Or because they live in a country where big tech is not a thing. Or because these people simply love doing research (I am rather not willing to call what these AI companies are doing "research").
> In order to predict "An" instead of “A”, you need to know that you're going to say something that starts with a vowel next. So you're incentivized to figure out one word ahead, and indeed, Claude realizes it's going to say astronomer and works backwards.

Is there evidence of working backwards? From a next token point of view,
predicting the token after "An" is going to heavily favor a vowel. Similarly predicting the token after "A" is going to heavily favor not a vowel.
I think that the point is that it is quite bad to use your personal phone and personal chat app for discussing classified subjects, and that you can randomly add random people to these conversations by accident. But it is even worse when any hostile actor like a foreign country can have all your personal info like phone number that easily.
I've been a renter since I was born, and I have rented from both mom and pop landlords and bigger corporations, and I can tell you that whether or not the "small landlords" were good people or not, our financial interests were diametrically opposed. If I did not live in cities with good tenant protections, there would be no incentive whatsoever for the people who owned the place where I lived from providing basic services such as repairs and advance notice of rent increases. Many did not anyway.

What is often forgotten in these cases is that being a landlord is not an identity, but a choice. It's hard not to feel like the housing market is basically a cartel run by small homeowners across the country conspiring to make home ownership as inaccessible as possible in order to make the value of their property as high as possible. I would love to purchase a home, but even 10 years of a software engineering salary are not enough for that in NYC. And so I will continue to rent, and I will continue to advocate for expanded tenants rights.
