This wouldn't surprise me, but I can't find it. I'm seeing some authors drawing comparisons, but haven't found Hitler or his party actually mentioning Native Americans. There are explicit references to Turkey, with Hitler mentioning the Armenian Genocide (as justification for invading Poland) and calling Ataturk a "shining star," along with the Nazi papers obsessing over his nationalist policies.

Congrats on the launch! This is really cool. Would love to see OTel integration in the future. I'm curious if this might eventually work with request-context based routing, i.e. being able to use the propagated metadata between layers to dynamically test different versions of the stack, replay requests / route to specific underlying implementation versions at different levels of the stack.
3 phases is cheaper than single line for delivering a houses power. You can get away with 3 smaller cables than the larger cables needed for 110V or 230V low voltage single phase at a particular amperage.

The cost of termination of 3 phases is insignificant compared to the cost of the rest of an electrical system in a modern home.

It’s the better system.
>I'd argue that there are legitimate safety concerns that trump speech in this particular case.

What makes HE well-positioned to be able to determine what constitutes a "legitimate safety concern"? What happens when a pro-life organization or a corrupt politician starts leaning on ISPs to enforce their own views of what constitutes a "legitimate safety concern"?

Cloudflare denied service to KF on an imminent threat to people's lives, which could have been justified on a short term basis. Their refusal to reinstate service months later strains the credulity of this rationale, and shows that it was never really the goal.

I'm going to guess that if we ever get a post-mortem on what really is happening inside HE, what we'll find is not "a well-reasoned, dispassionate debate occurred and a consensus was reached in favor of censorship". Instead it will be like "someone powerful in the company made a unilateral decision and dissent was absent because everyone understood that it would have negative career consequences."

> It’s conversely not great to have consumers not using their brains, applying zero scrutiny, and buying into whatever the new street fad is then wailing for the Uncle SEC when their little crypto tokens became worthless.

I disagree.

A few centuries of experience make it pretty clear that there's a spectrum between highly regulated markets and unregulated markets. The highly regulated markets are a social good and beloved by both investors and people running actual decent businesses, because they enable effective matching between spare capital and the places where it can be effectively deployed. So I think it's great that most investors feel safe enough to invest in things. It makes the world better.

Think of it like the market for food. You can walk into pretty much any store in the US, buy pretty much any packaged food item, and safely eat it. Is it bad that you aren't applying your whole intellect to decide whether that muffin is safe? I'd say no, it's in fact good that you don't have to think about it. But that's only enabled by some pretty intense regulation on food.

Some would argue that it's interfering in the marketplace to keep people from selling shoddy discount food, and that we should just let the invisible hand work it out. That people "wailing" when they start throwing up is just them being crybabies, and that they should caveat emptor harder if they don't like blood in their stool.

But I think free market fundamentalists like that are deranged. I think markets exist to help fulfill human purposes, and that we should minimize the extent to which scammers, jerks, and monsters can parasitize them. And I think that for all the hue and cry about "innovation" in the cryptowhatever space, I've seen very little that's actually a significant socially positive improvement. In contrast, over the same period that Bitcoin has done approximately nothing useful, we've seen things from M-Pesa to Venmo actually serve millions and millions on a regular basis.
I remember entering in Python because you have slices and other syntax sugar stuff that makenyou think other programming languages were making you life miserable on purpose!

Also, the batteries included in the standard libs was incredible when you needed to use the ACE/TAO monster in C++.

Finally, interfacing with native code via SWIG enables you to quickly use critical optimized code.

Obviously, other programming languages captured Python power since then.

> It will happen for images and video.

That's for sure. The main problem is how to put them together. There are several ways. First, tokenizing the media and inserting it in the stream. Second, a media controller which accepts verbal instructions generated by LLM. They can be combined. Interesting variation is controller with (immediate) feedback. It can be anything, for example database access.

AFAIK transformers have been used for low level robotic control. And LLM for high level have been reported by MS and Google.

I live in a house built somwhere between 1900 and 1930, and it's powered by 3 phases. Since deep commie era.
So you make:

// new foo block
// using b:int stuff,
// calling fooInternalsX,
// fooInternalsY, etc.
// for common functionality
foo(a: int, b:int) = ...

and

// stays the same
// except replacing
// common functionality with
// calls to fooInternalsX,
// fooInternalsY, etc.
foo(a: int) = ...

and enough

private fooInternalsX(a:Int) = ...
private fooInternalsY(a: Int) = ...

methods to cover the common functionality.

Your code is still DRY, and you are using polymorphism (foos of different type signatures) instead of if/else, the behavior of foo(int) doesn't change, so you don't require additional tests for foo(int), the fooInternals<X,Y,Z> aren't public, and you have now added tests for foo(int, int). You aren't paying any additional costs in terms of maintenance. You aren't increasing behavioral risk at C2 for calling foo(int). You are only paying more for foo(int, int), and those are costs that you would have to pay regardless of if foo(int, int) literally duplicated the body of foo(int) for common pieces or refactored the common pieces out. You save cost for maintaining both foo(int) and foo(int, int) if the common pieces need to change, as you are adding tests for the behavioral changes to both foo(int) and foo(int,int) tests, but are only making a single change in the common code.

Also, when doing this, the abstraction is the original foo(int), not the new, additional foo(int, int). Abstraction is the assumption of some parameterized behavior via hard-coding. Here, the new, additional parameterized behavior introduced by the second b:int parameter is abstracted away in the original foo(int), not in the new foo(int, int). That doesn't make the original foo(int) abstraction wrong, because it is used in at least one call site (C2).

Only when all call sites must change to accommodate something that a new parameter allows through more than one change-set can you begin to call an abstraction wrong. Otherwise, it is a simple bug that was fixed by a single change-set.
I have git for windows installed and then alias git=git.exe so git from WSL just calls windows git which is much faster and I've never noticed any issues with this.

I cannot remember the last working day where we didn’t experience an outage in one of the many, many services that the business relies on. Often these outages are minor, but they’re a constant nuisance, and make me want to start trending towards not relying on cloud services.

Today it was GitHub (delayed webhooks), CircleCI (broken Chrome testing orb) and OpenAI (login) outages.
Python has a default None return, Ruby returns the value of the last expression.

Neither (except maybe the None case in Python) is really implicit, Ruby is just an expression oriented language while Python is statement-oriented.

OTOH, in Ruby the keyword “return” is superfluous except for altering control flow for an early return, while in Python it is the mechanism for supplying a return value.
What is the security issue that prompted all of this? Does anyone know?
I have all three of these and absolutely none of them contain (or will contain at any point) a three phase motor. All three of these use variable speed motors in my house. I suspect even more will moving forward as well. So honestly three phase is pointless as I just need "power" to drive the variable speed controller system. My hottub has fixed speed 220 pumps but its old. I suspect newer systems would be moving to variable speed as well.

I think your pretty spot on that most people do not need 3 phase, even in the limited cases you mentioned. =)

> And I can't think of anything in the ruby language itself that is implicit over explicit

We are in a verrrry similar boat! Always been into fiddling with computers but got my first job in tech around 2013. JavaScript and PHP. Only the past couple years have I messed around with Ruby + RoR and I love it.

Every time I have to touch Python to mess around with anything going on in the ML space, it just feels so clunky, in ways that Ruby feels like it wouldn’t have trouble with.

I think r_thanbapillai’s top level comment is spot on. Ruby became a “web” language because of the singular focus on Rails (at least in the west) which hampered its growth in other areas. It’s not so much the language that makes a community but the libraries people are inspired to build with it. Python specialized in the “right” thing for its moment in the sun.

I do think we're slowly seeing Julia or other more purpose built tools slowly eating python’s numpy lunch.
Show HN: PromptScape – prototyping AI agents without writing code
I've always just thought it was just the universities. They train people in Python, which meant that people who had low level libraries written in C\C++ could wrap their utilities in Python so as to capture a larger audience...But I also know that DHH went after a lot of these enterprise software self-promoters shilling "clean code" and they then turned around and bad mouthed him and the Ruby programming language at conferences and podcasts (for years). I can remember hearing from a few different shysters that "ruby is a redundant language when you have python". That sort of negative publicity can have a bad effect on an ecosystem. My two cents.
Ok, I confused myself somehow about who I was replying to, my apologies. The OP is jmsflknr though, no?

However, my point was not meant to be about the pump design nor the regulatory bodies involved, so I think we are just miscommunicating. My fault for quick replies.

I was responding to "There are so many of these situations in medical devices." by which I took you to mean that there are many parallel situations the the McDonalds/Taylor issue in the linked article and the franchises inability to keep them in service, or accept 3rd party help in doing it; I read this as the core point of the article.

When I said "things are more complicated" I meant the relationship between the various entities and how systems get deployed, managed, maintained, etc. doesn't look the same.

So is that what you meant?

It's possible you just mean there are similar technical issues in the pumps, something I'm happy to accept you have direct experience in; in that case I just misread you. If you had said there are similar (identical) pumps in some medical devices I would have understood it that way.

It read to me like you were making a far broader claim.

Some people (me included) LOVED the whitespace-as-a-feature. I had swam through too many scripts where everything (regardless of nesting level) was all on the first character of a line or otherwise spaced randomly where my first step was to properly indent just to understand what it was doing. A language that enforced that was a Godsend.
In CA it's just a matter of checking a box, then they put a transformer on the PG&E pole to match your voltage reqs - the wire to your pole is $90. The transformer can run in the thousands probably up to 10k. Of course, if your area can't handle the voltage * amperage requested, they may deny it or ask for about 10k per new pole to install in the ground.

That said you just pay that once, after that you have your rate.

A lot of people have odd power requirements - but usually not residences. Farms typically get 400V for greenhouse fans, for example.
> Cloudflare is an often brought up example

And Cloudflare are nearly as well behaved as they could possibly be. The simple fact of them being everywhere makes them a major target of government pressure to censor. This is purely an end run around the constitution, not the desire of companies to control speech.

> It feels like private companies are de facto writing the laws about what's allowed online and in society right now, and that it's almost become a loophole for censoring free speech on a whim.

And I don't think that the companies have any particular desire to censor. Zuckerberg would only censor speech about Facebook and himself personally. Dorsey seemed entirely blindsided by the pressures from the administration, three-letter agencies, and individual Congressmen based on the Twitter Files, and pushed back plenty. The three-letter agencies just placed dozens and dozens of people (who decided to quit the CIA, NSA, and FBI in their 30s for some reason and change careers) in the executive suites of every social network.

It's being done in the open, and they're simply daring us to see corruption there. Hell, they've become conspiracy and foreign propaganda scientists, and they can detect the influence of the evil Russian and Chinese enemies of the state even in people who have no connections to Russians or Chinese people. It's their Russian and Chinese ideas that need to be eradicated, and all good communications channels and payments processors should be happy to help unless they are also secretly Russian.

It's really hard for me to imagine that an app that markets "AI for your terminal" is going to be "more secure and private" than some standard Unix tool.

Perhaps some very specific example of a security feature (such as protecting against timing attacks) could be protected against in a new tool, and not in the older more standard one. But it seems far more likely that many other security features would get forgotten in the newer tool, and by adding "AI" so many more attack vectors would be added.

It's honestly hard to even believe in the privacy claims of warp. Almost all NLP tools in today's age seem to fall towards cloud solutions, which almost immediately makes that likelihood of privacy close to nil.
> there are laws that prohibit the US government from engaging in similar shenangigans.

If the laws you’re alluding to are steadfast, provide true equal protection and are perfectly enforced I could see greater reliance on government software tools.

However, history is littered with government agencies failing to protect people. Not to pick on the FBI here but the organization’s own J. Edward Hoover wasn’t the most privacy focused person. The group’s HQ is still named after this person.

Perhaps other organizations could be relied on more. People have wanted free tax filing software for a long time.

However, even the IRS has been shown vulnerable to take actions based on pressure from political forces.
