Ah, yes, everything needs to be phrased as an existential crossroads now. Same thing the other day when I was debating between olives or pickles on my pizza.

Yes. The company is inciting violent behaviour with socially disturbing products.

Yes, I know. I thought you were asking where do ads need to be labelled as such, and I gave an example.

That seems to handle deserialization? But would it protect you from assigning a value of the wrong type to the object later on?

by yunnpp 7mo ago
The type hints are not even enforced at runtime. They are mostly documentation.

I don't know where that narrative comes from, but man, is it getting old.

I can't think of any. Thankfully, we are saved.

Anthropic should become an actual supply chain risk and move its HQ to China now, lol.

The idea that theory does not match practice is very foreign to a software developer or somebody that works in the information processing field. We are spoiled to have mathematicians do the hard work, and then we just get to botch it all wi

I'm not the expert and the details that the company would put out are obviously obtuse, but: image detection/identification, predictive policing, and planning. The latter sounds to me like they'd have some system where people

It's good to be driven by ideals, but: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_purpose_of_a_system_is_wha... I think avg(HN) is mostly skeptical about the output, not that the input is corrupt or ill-meaning in this cas

I don't really follow this space, but is evaporating $50bn not a concern to anybody?

by yunnpp 8mo ago
It's obvious that they are. The best thing the company could do if they want to stick to principles is not be based in the US.

Hey, noob question, but does OpenJDK look at variable scope and avoid allocating on the heap to begin with if a variable is known to not escape the function's stack frame? Not strictly related to this post, but I figured it'd be h

His question is still valid for latency. That parallel GC in Java still seems to pause threads from a quick search. https://inside.java/2022/08/01/sip062/

The cover image is just too good. It's just way too good.

There is a lot of naivete behind the whole idea that some alternative is better because it's open source. You can clearly tell it's a project made by software developers, not by behavioural analysts, psychologists, or really anyon

Isn't land use and zoning the real problem? (Interesting that there is no occurrence of "land" in the article.) Who cares how the houses are built when you have nowhere to put them anyway. The most recent housing developments

> they basically insulted me saying that my brand new $3,500 PC wasn't good enough. Big chuckle there, so good. Hey, at least they had a sense of humour. But I agree the hardware support could be much better even to this day.

The 101 itself is full of ads for pump-and-dump startups that likely won't exist in the next two minutes. One reads about the old days of Xerox PARC and how they produced one world-changing innovation after another, then compare that t

I agree that people should just stay off LinkedIn. Keep your local job boards alive. That being said: > LinkedIn doesn't need to obey to EU law. This is false. A company must follow the law of the jurisdictions where it operates.

It is remarkable that it took an ad from the same company that makes the product to make (some) people come to the realization of the surveillance they are subjected to and uninstall their cameras. The public is truly clueless despite all t

Why is this down-voted? Everything we do in this industry rests upon somebody else's gift of free/open software, that is the reality of it. I do feel an inclination to contribute back however I can, even if it's just document

No kidding. I don't maintain anything of enough popularity to warrant being approached like that, but a good hourly-rate answer would be the no-brainer response.
