AOSP is free and clear of Google beyond the obvious fact that a lot of engineers paid by Google contribute to it.

Those only work because they have retries built in at a layer that runs inside your service. You should understand this because it can have implications for the performance of your system during failures.

One that is not mentioned here but that I like as a general principle is that you cannot have exactly once delivery. At most once or at least once are both possible, but you have to pick your failure poison and architect for it.

I think it’s safe to assume that for something with the scale and complexity of Stripe, it would be a tall order to run all the necessary services on your laptop, even stubs of them. They may not even do that on the dev boxes, I’d be a litt

Roughly, yes, but they didn’t stop doing the work. It was moved to another set of people.

It’s really apples and oranges, Oak is about being able to execute code without side effects, even when it’s running in an environment you don’t provide. If it gets extended to the phone you can snark about ads, but really it would only be

It both predates the Apple approach and is more thorough. I cannot inspect or ensure the software BoM of my image with Apple’s approach, I just have to trust them. With Oak you have trust down to the hardware.

It’s a completely reasonable rant, and timely. You could write largely the same rant regarding digital books and how Apple advantages itself over competitors when it comes to their “fee” and the distortions this causes in the purchasing exp

First of all we are talking about YouTube here, not Google as a whole. Secondly, my argument is simple and basic physics. If everyone behaved like you, YouTube and services like it would not exist. Your straw man arguments aren’t needed fo

Why do I pick up trash off the floor that I didn’t put there? Why do I tip for good service? Why do I bother responding to posts like this? The answer is the same to all these questions: because I’d rather not live in a world where everyone

They have Memberships now and I wouldn’t be surprised if they don’t have a donate button hidden away somewhere.

It’s a trick because I’m effectively spending my gains without having to recognize them.

Actually yes, but you won’t find engineers compensated that way. Usually it’s the CEO. They will take a symbolic base salary (often they will say $1 but HR forces it to be minimum wage behind the scenes) and get paid with stock. The trick i

Right, it’s a lot easier to shift than it would be to go into an entirely different kind of law, or become a different specialty of doctor.

Very very little at Google survives on autopilot. There’s a constant drumbeat of required changes, whether they be accessibility, regulatory (DMA, hurrah), internally motivated changes (material design++) etc. For anything to survive there

Okay, the point I think the poster up there was trying to make is that there are degrees of assault. I never saw anyone murdered, and only twice some sort of physical struggle. The number of times crazy yelling broke out is uncountable by m

Pixel phones? Nest? The Bayview hotel rooms are pretty nice. Hell even Gmail feels pretty premium to me, but I guess this word might be considered subjective. Also, Waymo isn't even Google. You might accuse me of overstating this, but

You might be magic. Crazy, crazy shit goes down on Muni. I used it to commute from outer Richmond to downtown for years and the bystander effect was fully powered up on many of those rides. And it wasn't always the homeless people, lit

And yet you'll find that your definition of clean may far exceed the driver of an Uber's at least every other trip.

If your back is hurting from the ~1lb extra going from 13" to 15", I would recommend some body weight exercises. Your back will thank you, and you'll find getting older to be much less painful. Regarding a small iPad, isn&#x2

The stock they use for this is not created constantly, it's created in a block set aside for that purpose by board action. Companies do this relatively infrequently.

Is this a reverse sort?

by sulam 2y ago
This is not how it works at all. Companies do not sell stock except in specific circumstances that are tightly regulated. Often they don't sell stock at all once they're public, because that increases the number of shares outstand

It's ironic that LLMs mimic one of the worst behaviors of some HN posters. They very confidently spout drivel!

So I'm very jetlagged and awake in the middle of the night, but does this have a mistake? 7, 6, 5, 5, 4 is not a series.

You're anthropomorphizing way too much here. All LLMs are is a somewhat more mature Markov chain. There is no persistent intelligence in there that is simply lacking experience. The only "change" you see from run to run is wh
