Not an age thing, just how terminally online you are.

We just don't subscribe to traditional rest cycles (what Kagi Translate translated from "I should be sleeping right now, but I'm browsing HN" in LinkedIn Speak).

I don't believe the junior devs on my team even run the code they are generating, let alone read it. Feeling like I'm doing 5x the work reviewing and testing that the person submitting has.

And I bet the impact of your review work on their development into medior/senior goes towards 0.

I recognize this discrepancy where review effort becomes more than the coding itself. I don't think I could sustain that for long.


Basically all computers use efuses, otherwise it would be possible to rollback the firmware to a previous, insecure version.

For something like a game console, that’s annoying, for a phone or laptop, that’s highly desirable if something like a TPM bug is fixed, without efuses the system would forever be vulnerable.


The security was way better with the Xbox One, but also no one cared about the Xbox one. The 360 was the last successful Xbox.

In mice. The original paper has this in the title but the article version has stripped it.

Not to say this is useless research, but I was interested to see the ages and quantity involved. Surprised to see none of that was mentioned in the article. Feels like this article is giving false anxiety to people.


The article is a warning to those who drink alcohol, especially if it's to cope. The point is that drinking it then risks cognitive decline. This risk is best avoided by stopping drinking altogether. Yes, the study is in mice, but it still conveys an applicable risk to humans.

In my experience, a lot of the need to cope is actually due to dirty indoor air. Aggressively using air filtration+ventilation to significantly drive down indoor pollution goes a long way. As for outdoor air, if exposed to significant outdoor pollution, masks help.


The article version is overly alarmist in a way the source material isn't. We know alcohol is bad for you, what would be useful to know is what quantities, at what ages, translating in to what increase in risk.

This just feels like telling someone if they had any amount of alcohol at "early adulthood" they have brain damage and there is nothing they can do about it.


Encourage more smaller privately owned companies rather than massive megacorps.

They all grow by acquisitions, if you want smaller privately owned companies then you also need a strong anti-trust body.

We could keep making companies they want to acquire until they run out of money to acquire them with.

Yes. That is what I want.

So either big companies would lobby against their interest, or SEC would do something independently. Honestly I cannot decide which one is more absurd.

Quick, hide the data. Bury the bad news.

This will delay the market crash an extra quarter.


The norm in other countries is 6 months. That's enough time to get the mid-year numbers to be reviewed by an auditor.

I don't think malice of the decision.


At least what I saw, which might be inaccurate, is that in countries with 6 month mandatory reporting, most companies still choose to report quarterly or investors start to get nervous.

Hard to disentangle that from quarterly being the US standard, what with it being the most robust capital markets and nexus of major financial transactions.

Please read the article.

> The WSJ report added that the rule is expected to make quarterly reporting optional and not eliminate it altogether.

So companies can still do their quarterly reporting if they and their investors want that.


Thats exactly what they said

Fair enough. I misunderstood.

I don't understand arguments like this.

Universal healthcare? Democratic rule of law? Affordable living wage?

Nah, I'll bang the drum of international equality for corporate malfeasance.


And allow more insider trading.

The timing with all the AI IPOs that _really really need_ to happen this year or else is very sus

Is there any info on what codecs these support? They mention “lossless audio” without any extra detail, is this the new Bluetooth LE audio or something proprietary?

What I'd like to know is if there's still a bandwidth issue, where if you use the microphone, the audio quality downgrades severely.

That's because old bluetooth has two main modes A2DP which supports one direction high quality audio and HFP which supports microphones but sounds like shit. Bluetooth LE Audio is fairly new and supports high quality audio and mic at the same time. But as far as I'm aware, no Apple product supports it yet.

I agree it seems terrible value, but I see plenty of people wearing them on the street so it’s probably a commercial success just as a luxury product for people to flex with. While everyone else gets the AirPod pros.

Or Beats?

>like they're being hoodwinked somehow

Because they are. It would be like if I bought some trinket off aliexpress and told you I made it by hand just for you. You wouldn't mind if you bought it yourself, but the fact that I lied about it to make it seem like I care is deceptive and immoral.

Sending someone AI generated text without disclosing so is incredibly offensive. It says you don't care about wasting the receivers time and don't care about honesty either.


I agree. I think it's interesting that, even if AI handles the conversation effectively, we're still repulsed.

I'm curious what will happen once AI generated text gets good enough that people can't tell the difference. Will we just assume everything is AI and remain suspicious, or will we stop caring?

My hunch is we'll all retreat to places of the internet where we can feel sure we're talking to real people and there are chains of trust. For example, I spend most of my time on discord servers where people are real life friends or friends of friends, and increasingly assume "public" internet to be AI default, and therefore use our own AI to browse and summarize for us.


I like to think that a lot of the current internet is just going to die and we will return to more in person interaction. And I think awareness of this is continuously rising. Terms like "chronically offline", talking about quitting social media, reducing phone use, etc are hot right now. But I'm still yet to see awareness and talk convert to action. People are as addicted to social media as they ever have been. We just widely recognize much like junk food and cigarettes where we know it's bad but keep doing it anyway.

What I'm fairly confident of is people will not just enjoy being deceived in to talking to bots. We have seen this before, companies and customer service platforms have been using templated messages to imitate real human conversation for a while. When you load a website and the Intercom chat box pops up with a message that looks like a real person from the company is trying to talk to you, initially it might have worked but very quickly you learn it's fake and tune it out.
