The school computer lab had Visual Basic but you only got an hour week in there as part of the computing subject, the school library computers couldn't have it because the licence was per seat not per site.

You really only had QBASIC which was great but we really wanted to write Windows apps. You'd be up for a thousand dollars for a MSDN academic subscription just to get Visual Basic.

I guess the blessing was instead of Windows apps we made web pages and JavaScript games hosted on our parents ISP webhost accounts while we dreamed of the day we'd have enough money to buy our own .com domain.

I doubt we'll ever know, especially if it makes Google look negligent (ie. not reaching out to the customer first before restricting their production account)

Whatever the account manager said didn't inspire confidence that this wouldn't happen again.

Finally, we are in planning to remove Google Cloud services from our data plane’s hot path, and keeping them only for secondary/failover.

Checked my 5 hour quota, it was 0%, got this for multiple attempts:

I'm getting more image requests than usual, so I can't create that for you right now. Please try again later.

or

Can you ask me again later? I'm being asked to create more images than usual, so I can't do that for you right now.

Went back and found they took 34% of my quota for the privilege of repeating that same error.

I think the "Usage Limits" screen is new so who knows how long they've been counting errors against our quota. I guess I should be grateful it's now visible.

Not sure too many VCs would be cool with deep redundancy when there's more features to build to bring in more customers instead.

We're at the beginning of an industry and who knows where that industry's going to go? This could all turn into television again. It could be controlled by a small number of companies who decide what we see and hear. And there's a lot of precedent for that.

While you may say it's not television because we have content creators now, most of the mainstream consumption is on closed platforms owned by companies with the highest valuations ever seen in history.

Side note: It's great to see Jamie's nightclub has become a success as well becoming more of a live music venue which is even more impressive in the face of Live Nation buying every venue in sight.

The DNA Lounge compound consists of five rooms, two stages, four dance floors with independent sound systems, seven full bars, plus our attached full-service pizza restaurant and cafe.

It's not clear to me how the average person would acquire their "ownership share" without buying in first like a stock.

Is it from the company where you work now when they lay you off? When does it start? According to the CEOs, aren't we already laying off people due to AI?

> Everyone will need "to figure out how to operate in a post-AGI age," Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said. [1]

I have a bad feeling "figure it out" will be only meaningful support offered.

JuiceSSH have since shut their site down after that last round of attention so I guess they really have no intention of open sourcing or refunding.

And so The Microsoft Network wasn't a program you loaded like CompuServe. It was part of the OS, with folder icons that looked just like real folders. It was a kind of version of the Web where you could browse online data the same way you browsed your file system. This is what made it cool.

It was as if the data was suddenly free of the shackles of being displayed in a program. Data wasn't just a web page, or a program showing its own internal databases. The Microsoft Network made it look like the data was right there, and you could click it and drag it around! For a brief time, back in 1995, it felt like we were on the verge of the true object-oriented web, a world filled with open data and free from the tyranny of the walled gardens.[1]

It also reminded me what an excellent job Wikipedia does with their hierarchical classification which you don't see when you're often only searching by article name.

First step out of line and that account along with anything remotely connected will be banned to oblivion.

Given they share models on Azure, Anthropic will have someone at Microsoft on speed dial.

I've even seen disconnected commit hashes disappear during their security responses which the repo owner has no way of removing.

Use something like ebay@shipping.example.com and they send to ebay@example.com

I had to check the server logs to find why I wasn't receiving any mail and now need a top level alias just for eBay to handle their broken mail infrastructure.

I got the error after writing out a detailed reply (which I lost as a result since the error is on posting not loading the form) so I couldn't have been fast enough to trigger a regular rate limit.

I thought it was unusual so I searched and found your explanation for this error message https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35157524

I assumed since I've had two warnings, a rate limit was applied.

Although given Anthropic have since removed the word "understands" from their page, I feel I was vindicated of flamebaiting. [1]

While I get marketing and faking it until you make it, I'm struggling to be comfortable with the idea that being with a company for seven/nine months and not holding something above a regular developer role (lead/senior/staff) qualifies you as being a "leading mind" or a "top engineer" from the company logos shown.

I'm not trying to be "harsh for its own sake", I've already been HN rate limited and have no desire to make that worse, so I wasn't sure if I should risk a reply, given this thread has also been manually down-weighted (I appreciate that you commented so we get more context), but I see another reply to your comment so safety in numbers.

I'm sure they're all leading minds and top engineers but I question if that applies in the context of those specific companies they're claiming.

I like the idea of the product, especially that their agents validate transformations against original system via mathematical techniques. It's my flaw that the thing that attracts me to the correctness of their agents also extends to wanting to see slightly clearer credentials of the team involved.

Kevin was at Cognition as a software engineer for 9 months and Windsurf as a design engineer for 7 months.

Including company logos on the Hypercubic website because team members worked there for less then a year doesn't convey the endorsement of these companies I'd expect when I see their logo being used.

Please consider adding more background of the executive and heads of department on the about page to help us understand who these top researchers, engineers, and strategists are.

There are currently no names on the about page, not even the co-founders, however this claim that "our team unites top researchers, engineers, and strategists from pioneering companies and institutions" appears on multiple pages on the website.

It seems:

* Sai was an Apple machine learning engineer for 19 months, then a Apple lead machine learning engineer for 17 months.

* Aayush was an Apple software engineer for 3 years, then an Apple senior software engineer for 8 months at Apple.

Customers never migrate on mass after a breach, 7000 underfunded and overworked education institutions are not migrating on mass.

So I feel safe to say there's no lasting impact to a company when a data breach occurs.

This will all be forgotten in a few months.
