> There's also a dozen non-EU countries that have one, and that number has been growing rapidly

Not really. Most of them offer significant carve-outs for American BigTech companies, or their implementation has been stayed, or significant capex subsidizes are provided to help reduce their impact for American BigTechs considering FDI in those countries.

It has been a DNC supported policy [0] as well to put pressure on countries that are even considering a digital services act. Heck the Biden admin began the process of making a legal example out of Canada [1] as a warning shot to other countries considering such options.

> To call it a "negotiation tool" is like calling literally any import tax or tariff ... purely a "negotiation tool".

That is what import taxes and tariffs are when not clubbed with subsidizes and formal sector specific industrial policy, because the act of giving MFN status to certain nations is itself a negotiating tactic. Canada's backing down on a digital service tax is a good example of that [2]

The whole point of (eg.) giving the UK preferential market access to the US over the EU, and giving Japan and South Korea preferential market access to the US over China is because it is a lever we can use when negotiating. Heck, France and Germany have both constantly tried leveraging tariffs and import taxes as a negotiating tactic against the US under the Biden admin [3][4] (and of course earlier).

As I mentioned above, this has been a slow-rolling negotiation between the US and EU since 2019. We in the US have bipartisan support to oppose the DSA and DSA-equivalents abroad. It was prominent stance in the Biden administration [0], and even Harris would have put a similar degree of pressure on the EU.

We have no obligation to give Europeans a red carpet, and you guys are not in a position to push back anyhow. The Chinese [5] and Russians have given similar ultimatums to the EU as well. What are you going to do? Sign an FTA with India and then face the same problem in 10 years with them?

You guys have fallen into the same trap that the Mughal and Qing Empires fell into in the 18th-19th century. Anyhow, we've unofficially signalled we are leaving the responsibility of Europe's defenses to Europe by 2027 [6] - meaning member states have no choice but to end up buying American gear or completely vacillate to Russia on Ukraine.

it has a few issues, I think jeffgeerling sums it up fairly well.

https://github.com/geerlingguy/sbc-reviews/issues/82

"Like the Pi 4, I think this system is the first RISC-V desktop environment that isn't painful to use, just inconvenient. Actions still have delays, but the delays are more reasonable, and don't make me constantly question if the computer's frozen."

also some really odd choices by Eswin for the eic7702x, which is essentially 2 p550 chips glued together.

On your latter point, see the Cass Review. The authors established that the medical guidelines are indeed insufficiently informed by scientific research and that the evidence base is very weak. Clinicians in that space may not be intending to cause harm but there is no reliable evidence that their interventions are helping. Also, whistleblowers have expressed these concerns including that this subfield is too ideologically driven.

> Which I was going to mention is contradictory, because the point of permissive licenses is that it does not have to be Free forever.

No, the point of permissive licenses is that third-party derivatives, which have no impact on the licensing of the original, don't have to be free ever, while the point of copyleft licenses is that they do.

Neither has any effect whatsoever on what future first-party licensing can be; a commitment to "open source forever" by the copyright owner is mostly orthogonal to what kind of open source license the copyright owner offers. (Now, its true that if the owner accepted contributions under a copyright license rather than under a CLA, they would likely have no practical choice but copyleft now and forever, but that's an issue of the license they accept on what they can offer, not an effect of what they offer itself.)

(OTOH, using "permissive" for GPLv3, a copyleft license, is actually contradictory, as you correctly note.)

Again, think about how the models work. They generate text sequentially. Think about how you solve the maze in your mind. Do you draw a line direct to the finish? No, it would be impossible to know what the path was until you had done it. But at that point you have now backtracked several times. So, what could a model _possibly_ be able to do for this puzzle which is "fair game" as a valid solution, other than magically know an answer by pulling it out of thin air?

The US government and its cronies use American social media as propaganda plateforms to saw disinformation and push counter factual narratives serving their interests. They have specifically targeted influencing elections in the recent past.

That's information war. We should probably ban on sight but as we are free countries, we put in place a regulatory framework and let the courts do their work.

You don't want balkanization of the internet? Tell your government to stop using it as a weapon.

Yes, it does silently and reliably upload all my photos to my server. That's like, the entire selling point of the app? You even have control over how and when (on wifi or not) and the ability to change hostnames depending on what network you are on. And yes I can browse my entire collection back to 2001 no problem. I have no idea what the offline support is.

It's a totally normal job at newspapers, magazines, and the like. You can easily find such jobs, and the publications themselves write about it:

>Like what? Perhaps we can improve it.

I'm sure it is stuff that makes sense to a jj user. Since I have not read the manual, it is nonsense to me. I'm just drawing attention to the fact it's a different set of non-obvious terminology and features as compared to git. I'm sure anyone who read the manual for either tool could figure it out. The trouble with git is that people don't read the manual, and hardly try to do anything with it, then loudly complain about it being tricky. Anything as complicated as version control is going to be tricky if you don't read the manual. I don't think making another tool entirely is the right solution. Perhaps a different set of git porcelain tools could help, or some git aliases. Maybe better documentation too. But some people just can't be pleased.

It's often not a hard and fast distinction. Calling a leader good/bad because of policy or manner would surely lean more to opinion. If that leader definitively partook in activities that are the subject of the Epstein files, then that's less opinion and more a question of the factual accuracy of the recorded material (assuming it exists). Regardless, said leader would obviously have incentive to cast it as a lie

Broadcast TV stations weren't considered "cable channels" even though they also came over the wire. Cable channels were those channels you got that your neighbor who didn't have cable couldn't see. Ad free cable channels were way before MTV. Even the national cable stations were late to the party.

At your age, if you never saw ad free cable you were either a late adopter or you just had a terrible local cable provider.

No, of course not, that'd be ridiculous. Where did you see that in my post?

To explain in more detail. The ADA says that an accommodation is when an entity (business, employer, school) makes a change of behavior. Installing a wheelchair ramp in an older inaccessible building is an accomodation. Granting extra time is an accomodation. Simply having accessible buildings or excessive time is not an accomodation.

But why the lawyers treat it differently. Business feel comfortable, when they have a ramp, arguing that no accommodation is necessary for the wheelchair bound. The standards of accessible physical design are clear. Schools do not feel comfortable saying that no accommodation is necessary for mental health issues, ever. Their lawyers advise them that it's much better to give some sort of accomodation and argue in court about sufficient accomodations vs giving no accomodation at all.

Nah.

> Most technical problems are really people problems. Think about it. Why does technical debt exist? Because requirements weren't properly clarified before work began. Because a salesperson promised an unrealistic deadline to a customer. Because a developer chose an outdated technology because it was comfortable. Because management was too reactive and cancelled a project mid-flight. Because someone's ego wouldn't let them see a better way of doing things.

I mean true, technical debt is people's problem. Why it exists? Because there are not enough people in the team. Because they are not skilled enough. Because the devloper has promised they'll finish up the task before Christmas but failed to deliver.

I don't really like marketing, but they serve an important function: they convert code to money. Code itself isn't worth anything, only marketed code is worth something. That's why it's so hard to refactor.

Also there's this unofficial law in programming: code that is easy to refactor at some point is going to be replaced by code that is hard to refactor. Sometimes people misidentify what exactly is code debt and convert blocks of code that aren't code debt into exactly code debt which is later impossible to remove, because they thought they knew better.

It doesn't work like that.

You imply all human driving is like that one example which is the worse one can come up with, which is not true.

You imply Waymos on the street will take the 20 year old irrational driver out of the road, which is also not true.

And "I did bad but others do worse" is a terrible premise to live by.

BTC doesn’t really operate in the decentralized finance world, all the platforms for applications are on other chains so your arguments are also stuck in 2014

Ask an AI about it to catch up, this is a decade too late to have that conversation

the only thing that matters is that there is liquidity and permissionless deployment, we are far far beyond “should there be liquidity”, you can build business on smart contract platforms solely because there is liquidity and people with frictions you can solve just like any other industry or the financial services sector in general

I built a JetBrains IDE plugin that exposes the debugger through MCP, so AI coding assistants like Claude Code and Cursor can debug autonomously.

The problem: When AI assistants hit runtime bugs, they resort to adding console.log/print statements everywhere, creating tons of diffs just to understand what's happening. Manual debugging requires constant back-and-forth between you and the AI.

The solution: This plugin gives AI agents direct access to the JetBrains debugger - tools for setting breakpoints (including conditional ones), stepping through code, inspecting/modifying variables, evaluating expressions, and navigating stack frames.

What makes it interesting:

Language-agnostic: Uses JetBrains' XDebugger API, so it works identically for Java, Python, Go, JavaScript, Rust, C++, PHP, Ruby—any language your IDE can debug Cross-IDE: Same plugin works in IntelliJ, PyCharm, WebStorm, GoLand, CLion, and all other JetBrains IDEs Single-call context: get_debug_session_status returns variables, stack trace, and source code in one request—no round-trips

Example: "There's a NullPointerException in UserService. Set an exception breakpoint, run the tests, and figure out what's null."

The AI sets the breakpoint, starts the debug session, waits for the exception, inspects the stack and variables, and comes back with: "Found it—userRepository is null at line 42. The @Autowired injection happens after the constructor, but you're calling findUser() in the constructor. Move the call to a @PostConstruct method."

The AI handles everything—starting the session, waiting for the breakpoint, inspecting state—and reports back what it found.

Install from JetBrains Marketplace or GitHub releases. One-click setup for Claude Code, Cursor, and Windsurf via the tool window.

Would love your feedback and happy to answer questions about the architecture.

It is pretty hard to grasp on first ready without stumbling through the phrasing. Especially the first part: “Ten years old being younger than the account had actually existed for might have” is extremely clunky. For one, you can just delete the end of it: “The user being younger than the account might have…”. Plus the subject & predicate get a bit confused, and you loose track of the point

Maybe this “You’d hope Google would notice the account was older than the user, especially with today’s advanced AI protections, but no”

Or even clearer: “You’d think Google, with all its advanced AI tooling, would notice the account was created before its creator was born (4 years earlier, apparently), but no”

I assumed you were speaking by analogy, as LLMs do not work by interpolation, or anything resembling that. Diffusion models, maybe you can make that argument. But GPT-derived inference is fundamentally different. It works via model building and next token prediction, which is not interpolative.

As for bias, I don’t see the distinction you are making. Biases in the training data produce biases in the weights. That’s where the biases come from: over-fitting (or sometimes, correct fitting) of the training data. You don’t end up with biases at random.

I wish that'd happen, but instead what we have is that everybody is making terrible new content, and getting any of the old content is a nightmare too because there are 28 or so subscriptions needed, which are constantly increasing prices (yeah, they are supposed to be competing, but somehow...) and constantly shuffling their lists, so you can just lose access to a series in the middle of a rewatch. I hope eventually it will organize into something resembling normalcy, but it's not happening so far... There's of course other solution (ahoy, matey!) but I'd rather just pay reasonable sum for a subscription. I know Netflix buying everything is not a solution either, but so far it's only getting worse.

This resonates very deeply with my experiences.

> Their answers to most ‘why are we doing this ?’ ‘trust me bro’.

I've profoundly annoyed so many PMs asking this question, I don't get it. I believe it's because they don't want to admit it's because it's an exec's-idea-of-the-week rather than market/biz/customer research and analysis.

> Engineers have said enough is enough and are now taking over product roles

Fingers crossed. It's about time we up our communication- and managing-upwards skills. I feel many PMs are sustaining their roles just because they're sycophantic yes-men to the execs, because execs got tired of engineers saying "no".

Having read a few criticms of PMs on HN, I can imagine the "your companies just didn't hire the good PMs" comments incoming

the sidebar was the best feature in Arc imo. I gave zen a shot just because of that and it was not a great experience to be honest. First, migration was buggy, then the sidebar lacked some basic features like renaming the tabs even though it looked similar. Nook seems to follow in the same footsteps I just hope that they nail the sidebar like Arc. Tab management is a mess and this has so much potential. All the best to both Zen and Nook.

I know some of them do this, but ours doesn't. There is a once yearly self-review, and as far as I can tell it has literally no impact on your actual performance review and compensation, which are basically entirely up to your manager's observations of you.

So it is important to keep your manager informally up to date on what you're doing, at least during the weeks they're thinking about performance.

I don't think I would want to rewrite all branches based on rewriting one of the ancestors of those branches. This only makes sense for local branches, and I just never have such a set of branches. Most rebases are to get ahead of upstream work, and I can't rewrite that. The rest are to rewrite commits that I made, and I collapse all those commits down periodically anyway. In the rare case I might be able to use this feature, rebasing all the other branches (realistically, probably like 1 or 2) would be easy enough to do manually with the feature described in this post. Rebasing and touching up commits is very easy with git interactive rebase. There are also features to automatically reorder commits with, e. g., `git commit --fixup` and `git rebase --autosquash`.

If you have others in mind then go ahead lol. I was just trying to make it easy.
by StopDisinfo910 | 2025-12-06 07:04:39+00:00
It's "might set off" not "might have". I don't mind the addition of complements between subject and verb. I view it as a stylistic choice especially when sentences remain that short.

I know English reader hates it when the verb is too far from subject however. Clearly, this one could be improved but I think calling it a failure of editorial standard is over harsh.

That would be the case in an idealized world. As with everything this depends on the circumstances and the economic activity of where the person is living in. I guess that with the north american eyes it is the employee's fault if the employee cannot find some other job since the only constraint for doing it is the personal drive. But there are other economical/educational constraints that don't allow people to have the necessary mobility for your example to be efficient and accurate.

D doesn't have a bombastic or killer feature. What it has is elegance. It simplifies things, and smooths out the ugly stuff. You don't have to worry if your char is signed or unsigned, or how many bits are in an int, or whether to use dot or arrow, or remember to make your destructor virtual, and on and on.

It's a more memory safe language than C/C++, no need to worry about forward references, strong encapsulation, simple modules, and so on.

And let's face it - the C preprocessor is an abomination in modern languages, why does it persist?

> I'm saying that the Precautionary Principle calls for exactly that position

Not necessarily. The PP is interpreted so many different ways, it was actually invoked by people like Nassim Talib to not only justify the vaccine rollout but to call for strict lockdowns among other measures.

There are many arguments made against the precautionary principle, just like there were many arguments made in favour of leaded gasoline. We all know who ended up on the right side of history on that one, and I expect it will be the same for roundup.

In the context of this article, we are discussing the PP as relevant to regulatory agencies. The EU employs the PP while the USA takes something called the Scientific Approach - in other words, the EU requires evidence that an intervention carries no risk, whereas the US requires proof that an intervention has significant risk in order to ban it. Idk about you, but I feel a lot better eating food grown in Europe.

Your position isn't unique, there are many very intelligent people who nonetheless overestimate their capacity for understanding the world and predicting the future.

If all thinkpads did the same thing, then maybe they would.

If it was the flagship laptop (t14s or x1 carbon) then, yeah.

Otherwise, no.

Lenovo is a smaller player by far than HP or Dell, and less focused than Microsoft or Apple (commanding lower prices on average also).

The most popular thinkpad is actually the E14, which is a budget notebook. Most finance departments can’t tell the difference and its usually developers getting the good hardware, so we have a warped perspective.

Well it's being discussed on here in most linux laptops thread.

On x86 it's because linux relies on the acpi tables which vendors don't bother to do properly.

On Apple ARM hardware/linux it's because Apple don't bother releasing any docs.

On other ARM SoCs... not sure. In theory every vendor wants volume orders for phones so they should be able to sleep properly?

It's sad if you're an Apple hardware + software slave and used to just closing the lid on your laptop and having it basically lose no battery for days, especially since ARM.

That is a little interesting but those are not the fact-checkers I'm talking about, nor the ones that the post is talking about (since they mention tech companies). Don't hold me to that. Maybe there is some overlap because working for a media outlet might count as a credential in the eyes of the people who appointed them to work in social media. In any event, so-called fact-checkers were used as a pretense to censor social media and silence contrarians. I obviously have no problem with legitimate researchers, especially if their job is internal to particular news agencies so that they can avoid lawsuits for libel or whatever.
