As a fun side note, DHS is short for the Department of Homeland Security. KGB is short for Komitet Gosudarstvennoy Bezopasnosti which translates to Committee for State Security. I do not understand why this organization exists when we already have the NSA, especially if they are attacking free speech. Would it be possible to move their budget to the NSA? False statements must not be censored, but rather countered by facts.

I think most people in the community recognize that Musk is a pretty abusive boss, and everyone really good is leaving the company. There are a few people who can't protect themselves from a predator, and those people will get relentlessly predated upon until they learn their lesson. It may well be fine: even Truth Social (mostly) works, and nobody thinks they're hiring the best engineers in the world.

I mean as long as nobody tries to hack or exploit Twitter, in which case things are gonna go very badly. Particularly since the people he's firing probably have root on a lot of boxes.
From the article: ""Americans have come to view diversity as integral to learning and to trust that the path to leadership is open to all," lawyers representing Harvard University wrote in a court filing."

Do you see the "open to all" statement? Is this true?

What about the Asians who were denied entry based on their race? Is this "open to all"?
Wasn't familiar with the term outcomes-driven:

It is when "a court decides what the outcome of the case should be and then works backward to determine the reasoning that will reach the desired conclusion"
You missed that he ends with a quote from Bronze Age Mindset. Wild.

Conventional languages follow a pattern and you can get somewhere because the syntax will seem vaguely familiar if the paradigm is the same. I can guess the code you mentioned is some sort of declaration. Perl deviates too much at times and the numbers of choices is seriously high, which makes the job considerably difficult.
> Elon has a fascinating ability to make people look at things from his point of view.

Honestly, he seems to have a very effective propaganda (i.e. "public relations") effort behind him. With unusual frequency, I'll see someone regurgitate some propagandistic talking point without any hint of irony (e.g. answering criticism of him with "Musk is literally saving humanity, what have you done?").

I don't know how much of that is from effort (e.g. astroturf) or just hitting the right nerve and getting people to work for him for free (e.g. very online nerds who believe in sci-fi, so put their faith in Musk personally because he constantly claims he'll make some their sci-fi dreams come true).
I took some more time to read your comments and I still must disagree with your conclusion about the frustration:

> instills complete and utter contempt for emissions standards [and how they are enforced]

Why not hold contempt with the manufacturer who has a bad solution to meet the standards?
What if the manufacturer wants the solution to be bad (malicious compliance)? What if they don't care?
What if they do want to have a good solution and it's just otherwise bad?
You could insist that their trucks do not meet your standards and the manufacturer needs to do a better job of both meeting emissions compliance requirements and not crippling the ability of the vehicle when they fail to.

> the only way to fix it was to replace the sensor, which required taking the entire freaking back axle off

This was a design decision made by the manufacturer and it is their fault that it's so difficult to fix.
This has nothing to do with legislation except for that the sensor needs to exist; the legislation does not specify where that sensor needs to be, nor does it require that the sensor ever stops functioning (again, blame the manufacturer!).
The manufacturer 1) doesn't need to stay in business and 2) needs to meet emissions standards.
I don't see an argument against the emissions standards that doesn't start with the assumption that the vehicle manufacturer either will or should stay in business.
It's only because the manufacturer shifts the blame that you're complaining about emissions standards rather than the decisions made by the manufacturer.
Does this mean no more comma body? That seemed to be George's baby.

The most likely reason would be to neutralize us before we can become a threat far far in the future. Subjugation could come in subtler forms, like in the book The Three Body problem where the aliens halt human scientific progress by stealthily interfering with science.

I mean you can say that all you want, but the proof of the self-driving pudding is in the driving, and SAE Level 2 is the most practical self-driving we are ever going to get.

I don't think there's anything wrong with trying to refine that approach as much as openpilot did, and honestly if there was fruit in SAE Level 3 and above, I feel like we would have seen it by now, but we haven't.

I have no idea what you mean by "problems several orders of magnitude." Driving is driving. Your hardware and software can do it, or it can't. What do billions of dollars have to do with anything?

Should people remind you Meta spent billions of dollars on a less popular Second Life?

How would you explain to shareholders that your solution can't compete with openpilot?

I think it’s the hard parts are still just as hard.
It was a mix of great and awful.

I wrote tons of assembly and C, burned EPROMs, wrote documentation (nroff, natch), visited technical bookstores every week or two to see what was new (I still miss the Computer Literacy bookstore). You got printouts from a 133 column lineprinter, just like college. Some divisions had email, corporation-wide email was not yet a thing.

No source code control (the one we had at Atari was called "Mike", or you handed your floppy disk of source code to "Rob" if "Mike" was on vacation). Networking was your serial connection to the Vax down in the machine room (it had an autodial modem, usually pegged for usenet traffic and mail).

No multi-monitor systems, frankly anything bigger than 80x25 and you were dreaming. You used Emacs if you were lucky, EDT if you weren't. The I/O system on your computer was a 5Mhz or 10Mhz bus, if you were one of those fortunate enough to have a personal hard drive. People still smoked inside buildings (ugh).

It got better. AppleTalk wasn't too bad (unless you broke the ring, in which case you were buying your group lunch that day). Laserprinters became common. Source control systems started to become usable. ANSI C and CFront happened, and we had compilers with more than 30 characters of significance in identifiers.

I've built a few nostalgia machines, old PDP-11s and such, and can't spend more than an hour or so in those old environments. I can't imagine writing code under those conditions again, we have it good today.
Dead. Interesting to see what oligrachs do to destroy news orgs in real time
If that was the goal then he completely failed. That company's manager class mindset is burned in and they will passively ignore the CEO or whatever manager is above them. This mindset trickles down through the hierarchy and makes the place immovable.

It's passive aggressive power play all the way down.
Solarized Dark for a long time, then Solarized Light b/c the rest of my windows/themes are all light.

Man, that's an interesting idea.. I just figured the financial prospects of being first to access unlimited wealth would be plenty of motivation to get us to space

I feel like space investments are a lot more valuable than most of the stuff politicians care about nowadays, though, so I'd be interested to support a movement like that
Thanks! Interesting that in all the time I've done web and infra dev work (mostly Python, PHP, and Go, sometimes Ruby), I've never heard of Raku, nor knew what happened to Perl after the Perl 5-to-7 thing (also similar with PHP 5-7... though no PHP 6 ever got resurrected).

What you need is an electronic notebook synced of whatever form: Apple notes, Emacs with Git, whatever floats your boat. It has to electronic and it has to be sync to all the platforms you work on.

Then you either create a new file or just add an entry whenever you want to add something to your idea inbox, or whatever else and it can grow from there as necesasry.
This is a misleading title.

The official stance from their document they’re quoting is:

- older operating systems receive security patches

- not all security fixes (note: not a patch) can apply to older operating systems because some depend on architectural changes.

This is the norm. You don’t want major architectural changes being back propagated to older OS versions. That’s a sys admin nightmare where a security update now breaks all your drivers because Apple would have had to port DriverKit backwards and restricted kexts.

All these sites are reporting it as some kind of failing but it’s just sensationalism.
I'm impressed at just how hard it is to see what catppuccin actually looks like in VSCode without installing it first. The catppuccin github has no screenshots, and the catppuccin-for-vscode github/site has exactly one screenshot, which is split into diagonal "bands" for the four different versions of the scheme, and only one of those bands has a significant amount of code.
The unfortunate problem with that is that some executives believe that “increasing shareholder value” is their heavenly mandate. Numerous examples have shown us that it can be financially “prudent” to make unsafe products and eat the occasional lawsuit when it kills somebody.
So to flesh this out, I'd like to see three or four kinds of members on Twitter. All would be authenticated in one sense: their real names would be known to the site and verified. But...

1) Some users would pay extra to be anonymous or pseudonymous to users of the site (but not to corporate Twitter)

2) Most users would be under the real verified name but no blue check to say this is their real name. No charge (unless just for the initial verification, maybe.)

3) Blue check users pay to show everyone they are not just a person, or just a person of the same name shown, but a person (or company) of note with that name. (And the most well-known person with that name.)

4)? "Ordinary" or less well-known people should be able to pay a little for, say, a blue circle (but no check) that shows they are not pseudonymous accounts and any geographical location, job description given has been verified.

Oral arguments are today. The justices vote afterwards but we won't know the result until the opinions are issued, which will be several months from now.
A true meritocracy wouldn't be a friendly world to live in.

Think about the current state of education. Parents with resources over-optimize their kids' education because they understand the inefficiencies in the system and/or understand what it takes to become successful in our society.
Let's not confuse necessary and sufficient here. Of course, they can charge money and show ads. Getting paid is necessary if we want social media to become ad-free and start catering to user needs, not to advertisers' needs.
I don't really know the state of the art in self-driving. But it might very well be that it wasn't the technology that changed in these past 5 years but the regulation around it as incremental changes were made to regular cars which have led to regulators consider that the technology was, after all, safe enough for these use cases.

Not that the technology hasn't improved, but with these things there might be many factors involved that might answer the question "why we have this today and not 5 years ago".
because that's like arguing that because you can now climb your way up a tree which you couldn't do five years ago you're closer to climbing to the moon.

Self-driving is still incredibly limited and progress is often overstated because people make headway on some tiny issue. A thing I always liked for people who think progress is rapid, this is Germany in the 1980s where Ernst Dickmann had autonmous cars drive thousands of miles: https://youtu.be/_HbVWm7wdmE
By that same logic, tweets are fragments of content and conversation.

You're missing the fact that Stanford is the farm team for Google and Google is hyperscale. At scale, your "just spend more money" solutions are in fact more expensive than creating a new protocol. And like k8s, the new protocol can be sold to startups so they can "be like Google".

> There's a certain essence of digital rhetoric that runs through our veins and we wouldn't be the same without it.

Both in the case of HN and with Hotz, I'm 50/50 on whether this is even a bug. It's hard to do anything interesting if you're not both highly opinionated and highly critical about the current way of doing things.

That said, I think some of us are more self-aware of this mentality than others. In my case I know that self-awareness has emerged slowly from being wrong a lot, which I suppose isn't the case with someone as successful as Hotz. Maybe he's never needed to self-reflect in the same way some of us have, or need to. I know I was a lot like him when I was younger anyway.
this is a ZERO from me...

The problem is that in real world, you have to assume corners will be cut. Deadline pressure is the one constant, and Parkinson's law reigns supreme[0]. You may reason that a local cache is a premature optimization, then what happens is that those UI thumbnails get shipped in the prototype quality, they end up blocking the UI loop on network, and nobody ever goes back to implement local caching, because there are always new features with new deadlines on them.

Postponing optimization is fine, but if everyone is just postponing it, and nobody is treating it as priority, then it just never gets done. In most software, low performance is effectively an externality - it's unlikely to be the thing that kills your product/business[1], but it's causing real frustration in people and waste real money in the overall economy.

Musk has made reference to programming C++ in the past.
I really like Nord. Another color scheme that caught my eye recently that I hadn't seen before is Everforest [1]. I find it similar to Nord in that it's pleasant without being too intrusive/distracting. Hoping it gains some traction & gets some more integrations. I've been trying to get it working for C/C++ in CLion myself (but unsuccessful so far).

I currently peer (via tunnels through my IPv4 connection) with securebit (aka tunnelbroker.ch), freetransit.ch and route48.org (but the list varies a bit over time),

A lot of is is that modern frameworks include a lot of those behaviors that required you to manually code the patterns back them. e.g., I can create a an ObservableCollection in C# with a single line of code, but in 1996 C++ I'd have to go to the trouble of building out an Observer pattern and it still wouldn't have all the features that IObservable does.

Sounds like you're trolling? OK/ If you're operating in good faith, I honestly don't see your point about rhetoric. His performance is not atypical in silicon valley, a place where I have been an engineer and academic for 3 decades. That's all.
That doesn't invalidate anything. Most around here haul stuff and actually use them.
I can't look at it from that perspective.

It's "extractive colonial policies" obfuscated through tools of finance, where force of arms has been a reality in some cases, in others there are different but nonetheless serious coercive threats, sometimes a little bit of both (plausible deniability, nice). As far as determining whether or not it's single sided, if you're calculating with something as primitive as Pareto efficiency or something equally hamfisted, yes, sure, everyone benefits, some by literal pennies and others by many millions of dollars. It's very much one sided from any [reasonable] moral perspective, at least any moral perspective that hopes to treat humans with any semblance of dignity.

A lot of the pretenses developed nations use to intervene in the affairs of the "Global South" have their roots in colonialism as evinced by the grandparent.
I think we all know the main issues here on HN. And what a complex
tangle of interests and compromises it really is.

Yes codification is a nightmare. I'm no lawyer, but it's clearly
a challenge that a lot of good minds need to sit down and think through.

At the end of the day, we can't keep trashing the planet for a little
bit of extra corporate profit and consumer vanity. Making durable,
repairable and reusable technology isn't rocket science. We managed it
for centuries before the insanity of late capitalism took centre stage
in the past 30 years or so.

FWIW, I did an interview with Gerry McGovern on World Wide Waste where

small efforts eventally get traction and visibility by those who make

One of my favorite Dirty Harry quotes: "A man's got to know his limitations."

I really appreciate his self-awareness and (dare I say it?) humility in this situation. While other people may be struck by his hubris, I for one really appreciated his humility in this post. I feel like he is acknowledging his own shortcomings, and how while he likes the immaturity of hacking together a racecar, but if Comma is going to go to the next level, then he needs someone who can pilot a boat, and George is not that pilot. I appreciate that awareness, and I appreciate that he has the ability to detach himself and move onwards this way.

Kudos to you, George. I appreciate and respect what you do. Thanks for letting us have a glimpse at it -- I personally find it very inspiring and encouraging for me and what I do.
Ahh, this makes sense to me.

I have been accused of looking at this entirely through the lens of hating Musk, but I imagine that many are looking at this entirely through the lens of hating Twitter.

Pretty short-sighted imo. My opinion about new leadership forcing engineers to work nights and weekends is entirely unaffected by the company’s former PR strategy for handling culture war issues.
