Given the 14th amendment exists and its purpose was in fact to assure the treasury would always pay its debts and the constitution overrides any law, it wouldn’t be a very flimsy loophole to say congress would need to clarify possible up to and including an amendment. The debt ceiling isn’t specifically about paying debts but about authorizing new borrowing. So while the treasury may not be able to legally issue debt to pay existing debt, it would be required to pay debt. This is of course the starve the beast goal of the debt ceiling to force spending cuts to pay the debt by making the debt payment so vast that the federal government would become a shadow of itself in that eventuality. However since the law has never been contested it’s not clear it would work.

But the treasury of course has many other ways of paying debts, including simply issuing currency. Even if the 14th amendment doesn’t invalidate the debt ceiling, the treasury still must pay the debts, and doesn’t have to do so by cutting spending. It would however be more orderly and strictly better for everyone if the 14th amendment did invalidate the debt ceiling in a situation that questioned the treasuries ability to make whole debts without resorting to disruptive measures.
Yeah the "testing" worked....but did it really?

Maybe I'm just too skeptical.
I've been personally dealing with this exact thing. And it doesn't help that linkedin is a shit show of fake companies and job postings that seem to be doing exactly what you said, phishing for PII. Like, why the fuck is a job application asking me for my address? It's a remote job, the absolute most you would ever need is my city. There's a lot of companies that think I'm the very lucky resident at 123 Main St :) The day a job application asks for my SSN is the day I quit tech for good and go work for cash only under the table
If the Supreme Court cared at all about appearing legitimate, they would have made the effort to remove Justice Thomas, who keeps taking outright bribes in order to influence his decisions, and the public is completely aware of it with documented proof.
Ah, but humans kill about 7 billion birds a day. So it's a drop in the bucket.

Or so one could reach with Fermi estimates. I think it should be made clear when you link that study that you meant "a back of the envelope calculation says that x birds were killed" etc. etc. rather than implying there was any rigor to it.
TBD, but there is nothing magic about RISC-V that would make this possible if it wasn't already possible with ARM. Apple has even done it with ARM, but to date no one else has. And if someone else did, it wouldn't really matter to AMD if it was RISC-V or ARM.

But it would matter to ARM.

It's essentially impossible to bring and win a lawsuit against NSA, because they can claim everything is classified.
You might want to note that this claim is not even repeated by the NPR and USA Today articles, just mentioned as wrong. As for the FDA, they have linked to a toxicology study showing conclusively that BVOs are extremely problematic. Europe has done a number of studies as well, showing exactly the same thing.

If you disagree with that conclusion, at least attack that, not an extremely weak straw argument.
I am a bit surprised and concerned that an article of such low quality managed to pop up on a Hacker News feed. Yes, there are others of low quality, but this one is particularly bad.

It's great. I've been using it as a single-user Matrix homeserver for a little more than one year now and haven't had any issue with it whatsoever. It's taking around 100 MiB of resident memory and consuming 0% of the CPU on my small server; I've used chat /clients/ that use ten times more than that.

Microsoft is a bigger company than Sony, so they get framed as the baddie. Argue that the merger may hurt Sony, even though Sony has much more market share in console gaming. What is a court supposed to do with that when they are expecting to hear something about consumer harm?
I have been watching a Twitch streamer Tsoding for a while now. Recently he ported a very simple chat client (like a hello, world! chat app) from Go to Rust [1]. Some impressions I have:

* I was surprised how naturally and easily porting the Go code to Rust was. I have been writing Go and I have been happy with it (to my surprise actually). And I have a stereotype in my head that Rust is more cumbersome. But in some cases, the Rust code was much more ergonomic than the Go code.

* Rust appears to be a quagmire of TIMTOWTDI (There Is More Than One Way To Do It). Just looking at the Rust docs for the standard library is a bit stress inducing. In some way Rust reminds me of the old Perl hacker culture which many love but I did not. When I first read the zen of Python stuff, and the idea that there should be one obvious way to do things I knew where my own heart lay.

* Rust is like the Dark Souls of programming. In the linked video there is a moment where the creator is audibly relieved. He did some mutable borrowing stuff across threads and he was deep in a rabbit hole of making the compiler happy. Finally he got it all to compile but he admits he wondered if he was going to find a dead-end. But there is something addictive about that kind of stress - I know it myself. You feel like you accomplished something when you come out the other side. It is some kind of dopamine inducing validation of your ability as a programmer. I think this is a very negative trait in the context of tools used to complete work.

* After implementing large blocks of functionality and getting the code to compile, it "just worked" as Rust programmers like to brag about.

My impression is still that Rust is over engineered. I have a lot of reasons to feel that way, but a recent one is a video from the CopenhagenRustCommunity where Jon Gjengset did a presentation on using `impl` traits in place of generics. It really feels to me that the ergonomics that I praised in my first point are a deal with the devil. I get the impression that maintaining this facade of "easy" is creating some demons under the covers. And things like `impl` trait and some of the decisions around it are layering on top to try to hide those demons. I don't want to call out this feature too hard since I'm just a tourist here and real Rust guys will probably have more useful opinions on it. But whenever I dig deep into Rust you end up with things like "Pin" or whatever and the guys behind it are almost apologetic. They recognize these are weird annoying things but in some sense earlier decisions are forcing them to do the best they can.

All that being said, I'm probably going to finally give Rust a decent try. I've been writing a small personal project in C and I think porting it to Rust is worth the time.

There are ten thousand ways to take potshots at China, but they're doing it in this way. Cui bono?
The common problem I see across many languages is: applications detect machine cores by looking at /proc/cpuinfo. However, in a docker container (or other container technology), that file looks the same as the container host (listing all cores, regardless of how few have been assigned to the container).

I wondered for a while if docker could make a fake /proc/cpuinfo that apps could parse that just listed "docker cpus" allocated to the job, but upon further reflection, that probably wouldn't work for many reasons.
I’ve started to minimize my use of sunscreen. It still important to stay protected from the sun, but long sleeves, hoods, hats, and pants are a great alternative. The lightweight sun shirts are comfortable and more convenient.

For my kids, I got them cheap wetsuits from Amazon for the time we spend camping at the lake. This is also cheaper than sunscreen. They can fully manage it on their own since about age 6 or 7.

This is rather strong language without any real qualifiers. It is definitely not "mostly useless".

Any reason why your doubts have any higher validity than their suppositions? If you want to shut down their viewpoint, you could augment your statement with examples backing the level of confidence you seem to display about your stance despite it being a assertion based entirely on your personal feelings.

I doubt you can make a claim on the self imagined apathetic response of a faceless group of people 150 years ago. You "doubting" isn't any more valid. I don't see it as unreasonable that institutional discrimination existed in 1876.

This seems a bit reductionist. It is hard to cut through the hype and counter hype but it can makes sense to reason about the theoretical limits of a technology. For a toy example we have something like the halting problem which was proven undecidable decades ago and this is still true despite computers getting way better. We use theoretical bounds all the time.

The term AI is nebulous enough such that new, unrelated, technologies can be invented and called AI but if you are talking about analyzing LLMs specifically you could probably figure out some meaningful theoretical bounds. This appears to be what these researchers are starting to try to do.
Sounds like you've been having a rough time?
Yes, but that involves talking to someone and waiting on hold. If there’s no rush, doing 4x ACH is easier, if you don’t know it’ll get you flagged. All I’m saying is banks need to be more prescriptive about telling you “we’ll put a hold on your account if you move large sums without telling us” rather than giving you some fake limit that actually utilizing will raise red flags. This is a common failure mode

Sad. It’s done for. community may still be “enormous” but that is bad thing when its communication channels overrun by sub-bootcamp-level devs
Instruction-tuning isn't typically considered a guard rail. Raw pretrained LLMs are close to useless, since they just predict text. Guard-rails are when you train the AI not to obey certain instructions.

This can't be right. Maybe it is, but it makes no sense.

The 90s Frontier is a tiny little thing, almost what a Kei truck is today. Same with the Ranger. An El Camino is bigger.

I bought a base Frontier in 2017, wanting that tiny truck but ended up with something the size of a 90s F150. Literally the smallest option on the market, whose weak-ass v4 struggles to haul its own weight (and has the turning radius of an aircraft carrier).

Tacomas? I like Toyota but the used market for those is worse than MSRP.

And Ford stopped making the Ranger; the Maverick ain't it. It's basically what I have already.

How is this the result of new efficiency standards? We still have small cars on the road. Cutting the roof off and appending a flatbed doesn't require a monster footprint.
Show HN: Treetrav – Better way to organize, collaborate, and explore links
Hello, folks! We're here to introduce you to treetrav, a web app to help you better organize, share, and explore your links.

Here is an example of it in action: https://treetrav.com/user/Morphy

We wanted to find a more efficient way to manage online documentation and make it easily accessible to any of our teammates. Traditional bookmarking tools didn't seem to fill the gap for us so we decided to work on a platform meant to help people organize lists of links into folders and sub folders. We wanted to emphasize the sharing aspect that mimics a file system allowing friends and colleges to add/delete links in a shared folder, viewable by all participants.

Features:

-Save and Organize: Store your favorite links and neatly categorize them into folders for easy access.

-Share with Ease: Collaborate seamlessly with coworkers, manage research papers, or simply exchange lists of interesting sites with your inner circle.

-Personalize Your Profile: Personalize your profile by going incognito, adding a unique profile picture, or choosing the dark mode.

-Build Your Knowledge Base: Create quick HTML pages, aptly named "leafs," using markdown.

Who this could benefit:

-Coworkers: Ideal for sharing tech documentation and collaborating on projects with your team.

-Researchers/Students: A perfect space for managing and exchanging research papers, articles, and academic resources.

-Family and Friends: Share interesting links, shopping wish lists, and travel recommendations effortlessly.

-Anyone Who Loves Bookmarking: If you rely heavily on bookmarks and want a more effective way to save and categorize links.

Notes:

-Currently in its beta phase, and we're eager to hear your feedback as we continue to improve.

-At this stage, user search functionality isn't available due to resource constraints.

-The UI isn't fully optimized for mobile yet, but it's on our to-do list.

The 14th amendment doesn't say the Treasury must always pay its debts. It says everyone has to act as if the Treasury will always pay its debts. It could default tomorrow, and you'd be constitutionally required to accept T-bills at face value anyway.
As a European who has been living in the US for a decade, yeah, you're pretty spot on. Americans are a scared people, probably the most scared I've ever seen. Afraid of the gov't, the neighbors, and random people they don't even know. I've gotten a ton of hate as a foreigner and I am not surprised a hateful, greedy and selfish population like here is afraid somebody will take them out with an improvised device.

That may not be the best line of reasoning. There's probably a lot of things you enjoy doing that aren't "enshrined in the constitution" that I might want to take from you in order to make me feel more comfortable, and the same can likely be said for a lot of other people as well. If we all played your game there's no telling how much you could end up being prevented from doing.

I like speed limits too, I'm glad that we already have them. Draconian enforcement of rules by machines is supposed to be a cautionary tale, not something to aim for.

It's more about saying they tried to do something (virtue signalling) than actually accomplishing anything. Think about it - would going after a bunch of tiny firms no one ever heard of make any headlines? No. But if the FTC goes after FAANG, even if it loses each one, they can blame the judiciary ("bad people") and signal they are trying to the part of the elite class that cares about this.

Yes, my point is that banks don’t make it clear that maxing out their ACH quotas will get your account frozen and that you should do a wire transfer. You shouldn’t have to learn this the hard way by getting your account frozen (which is very stressful when it happens to you for the first time), and banks should make it clear what you should do, which is my point

This is pretty much the life cycle of the “ORMs suck” crowd. The hangups are similar to “XML sucks” — conflating a poor ORM framework or XML-based format with the concept of ORMs or XML in general.

ORMs are a very useful abstraction, and even if you think you aren’t using an ORM, you probably are — just a bespoke one.
