Note that this does not really reduces the validity of the comment you react to. Beavers could probably say pretty much the same thing. "Did you try living next to humans? I do not recommend it. Not only do they break the dams we took so long to build, but they love to put stupid wire around the best trees. And some of them even have rifles and will shoot without warning. At least I could bite one in the groin!"

I know how annoying it can be to have wild animals destroy your property (there are for instance beavers, racoons, wild boars and woodpeckers where I live, and I own a wooden house), but in principle we do not have more right to shaping our habitat the way we like than beavers and wildlife in general. More than "managing beavers", what we need is to find ways to co-exist peacefully. One part might be "managing" them, but another part is definitely to accept that their needs in part conflict with ours, and that we need to give them some space and accept some of the damage as a price to pay to share land with them.
> Starvation was the extreme end, constant malnutrition the norm rather than the exception so.

And now we're bringing that back with the lack of money causing the exact same thing, though IMO it's more offensive because the food needed to resolve the problem is literally right in front of the starving people, they just can't have it because they have earned insufficient value credit.

Or, if they have enough for it, they can have nutrient-void shaped corn "food" that their bodies can't process and will make them fat while also simultaneously not actually sustaining them and leaving them even worse off by some measures.
I would not choose it for a greenfield project unless I knew that they had a particular module for more enterprise-grade stuff like doing hardcore/proprietary interconnects.
Ask HN: How to find a useful dev job?
I am a go developer that got laid off recently. Most of the offers I see are from crypto startups that I find useless. I am looking for a remote go position and I want to contribute to something useful.

I worked for one of these useless company in the past and it makes me feel terrible at the end of the day. Now that I have a bit of money saved up, I don't really mind to get payed less.
Only most of the languages you use every day[1]. Pascal inherited nested functions from ALGOL so everything in that family does it. Lisp dialects with lexical scope will have it. You can even get it in C if you use GCC[2]. (And if you don't mind turning off the NX stack.)

> Investment involves the risk of the asset depreciating.

The problem is that investors who have been working in the business since 2010 have no idea what a real economic recession looks like bc the fed keeps on swooping in to save the day. Asa result, a lot of investors levered up their books.

The investment business is not a free market bc the downside risk is no longer present.

> Do you think that these mega spellers can document _how_ they spell correctly all the time?

At least in my native language, I can typically explain the rules why a word is spelled the way it is. The simple reason for this is that I am interested in the structure of languages. The typical reason that I experience among other people why they spell words wrong is that they are less interested in this topic.
i have no beef in this argument, except to note that if one wants to study hunter-gatherer societies, one does not dig three rotten sticks from the ground and wildly extrapolates some cockamamy just-so story about the lives of that society that is 90% a reflection of the biases and pieties of the bureaucracy that is funding ones work. instead, one buys a ticket to Port Moresby, and hauls ones ass into the mountains on the horizon.

To be fair, this does sound like the kind of app that would benefit from being able to launch instantly, and potentially registering with the OS as a service in a way that cross-platform frameworks like Electron cannot easily accommodate. But Rust would not be the easiest choice to avoid those limitations.

Honestly (and just a bit more than "pipe dream"), I'm a well-educated American that is actively planning exit to a former Balkan country... because the trajectory "seems better" / "more realistic" than attempting to die in what appears clear to me [at just-shy of forty]: unless I'm willing to shit all over my peers, I will die destitute in what this shithole is becoming.

Perhaps I'll soon become one of the next few hundred annual American expat departures into the Balkans [if they'll have me — 'Mercuh has prettymuch chewn me up and spat me out, the few decades I've been employed here].

>So, if you write a post, and an AI grammar/spellchecker suggests edits, then the company is no longer protected by Section 230?

no, if you write a post and an AI grammar/spellchecker "corrects" the post to "DJ Shin raped and murdered a young girl in 1990" then DJ Shin can sue whoever is in control of that spellchecker for defamation.

"if the conduct underlying the claim or charge involves the use or provision of generative artificial intelligence by the interactive computer service". I don't see how anybody could interpret that as meaning that the spellchecker is responsible because it corrected a grammatical mistake, unless the spellchecker dramatically altered the meaning of the text.

And frankly, I don't see how you could possibly think it's a good idea for a pseudo-random bullshit generator to say whatever it just happens to shit out without the owner being held liable for any damages. Should CNN just be allowed to put whatever the fuck they want on their frontpage with no regards to its legitimacy as long as they can prove it came from a computer program and not a person!?!?!?
Clearly a bad faith argument. someone with your passwords can do a lot more damage than someone with your DNA.

I think DNA is probably sensitive on the level of someone knowing your name and DOB. Not convinced it's much more dangerous than that.

Starlink is roughly double what you're paying right now anyway. I consider it a "last resort" ISP that should only be used if you "need" it (don't have adequate land line options available to you.) It's not really a first choice provider, and it doesn't intend to be.
> I'm also a little confused as to the notion of people desiring independence from community. While I know many people that desired independence from local community microcosms, such as church, small rural towns, or disagreeable family, many of those people still want community.

Right I think the author correctly identifies some of the causes and contours of the decline of certain traditional community modes, but she has a massive blindspot for new models of community that have IMO risen in the last decades. For people in my milleu "found family" or other forms of less-local but equally-supportive community have become very popular.

> The legal authority to surveil itself should be considered enough harm in my opinion.

While I'm sympathetic to this viewpoint, one should be clear about the tradeoff. One of the government's primary duties is to keep citizens secure, from crime, terrorism, etc. That is the argument that is used to justify the legal authority to surveil. It's not enough to just say "protect our rights"--the whole point is that there is a tradeoff of rights. Protecting you against crime and terrorism is also protecting your rights--your right to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness, if nothing else. So one can't just say "no surveillance" and leave it at that; one has to make a case for why the existing tradeoff of rights is the wrong one and should be changed.

Also on the subject of rights, the US Bill Rights recognizes the need for things like surveillance, searches, seizures, etc. That's why the Fourth Amendment doesn't say "no surveillance, period". It just requires that there is a warrant that specifies particular information. So if the proper tradeoff is what the Fourth Amendment describes, that's not "no surveillance". It's just stopping the abuses of the warrant process.
But there are plenty of projects out there that are written in Rust and have to deal directly with hardware and syscalls. Hubris, a kernel written in Rust has 94 files referencing unsafe[1] out of 414 total .rs files[2]. This is as "bad" a ratio as you're gonna encounter in a project. There are many valid reasons one can have to not use Rust. "I need a lot of unsafe" is not really one.

a) Those people with sliding rulers and navigation computers also had 2.5 % of American GDP annually at their disposal, which is several orders of magnitude more than anyone now has. (Be it SpaceX or Boeing or whoever...)

b) The Apollo program actually cost not just money, but human lives = a much worse outcome than just losing a test rocket. And Apollo 13 crew was very lucky to have returned to Earth alive.

c) Losses of test hardware can only really be somewhat prevented by being extremely careful and pedantic during development, which takes time, and guess what? More time spent obsessing about every single detail = more money spent on development. It is entirely possible that the "hardware is expendable" approach is much cheaper than what you would like to have.
You can always just spin up a new entity if that's a problem, provided you have enough collateral to secure a loan. Credit rating really only is a people thing.
I was at the Apache Cloudstack conference just a few weeks ago and it seems most of the integrators are pivoting to moving VMware customers to KVM + CloudStack, and have even upstreamed an auto conversion tool.

While I am excited to see that quite a decent number of past clients I've had are considering proxmox and other virtualization stacks, I am not confident there will be a fast answer for this new change in the virtualization realm.

Large and Enterprise companies won't really be bothered by the change except the price, and unless other platforms include all the "Enterprise Check-boxes" they think they want, I'm not sure how fast adoption will be if at all for stacks like Proxmox.

I am not defending the business model or the tech offerings of Vmware, Microsoft, etc -- far from it. They're extremely bloated, buggy, and unless you happen to be one of VMware or Microsoft's most expensive customers, the support might as well just be a sin tax. Even for the "biggest" clients, they were not able to get Vmware or Microsoft to budge on some pretty obvious and complete blocker bugs that would drop production environments entirely.

Enterprise is weird -- I would be extremely happy if not a bit exhausted supporting a large OSS virtualization infrastructure for clients, but I just do not see it happening without a lot of "carrots" for such companies from the virtualization vendor. Enterprise business is basically about shifting responsibility and liability for your tech-stack to someone else -- yes, it requires strong tech skills to use these tech-stacks, but the more maintenance/liability that can be shifted to the vendor, the more preferable it is for most companies.

I don't know what the businesses will choose -- I'm hopeful medium and smaller businesses will shift to more open solutions and from this business, the open solutions will be able to grow and become more attractive choices for enterprise, I'm just not sure that such solutions will avoid the tech industry's obsession with subscription licensing and feature bloat to check boxes.
How are you preventing sockpuppets? Do you require a minimal age/posts/something from the accounts?
As someone who suffers from dysgraphia, which isn't well understood and commonly missed or completely misunderstood, our teaching methods simply do not translate to effective methods.

In English especially where we have problems with vowel shifts multiple source languages and frankly stupid spelling of some words by ignorant prescriptivist Latinophiles, it is really rote memorization.

Math is like playing the guitar or skiing, it takes practice to be good at.

But if you aren't good at memorization of concepts you don't understand, the typical response is to make people spend more time with memorization.

This simply doesn't work and students start to believe they aren't smart enough and give up, because they aren't offered tools to adapt and it is easier to just be thought of as stupid or slow.

Mathematics, logic, and scientific reasoning are learned skills and while everyone will have ultimate limits to their abilities, they are hard for all humans but in different ways.

But you are right, most this is tactic, people just ignore factors that often aren't even learning disabilities, but are advantages some students have due to their history and exposure.

Moravec's paradox is probably a good analogy, where what we think is easy is only easy due to previous experience.

Many authors like Ernest Hemingway and Agatha Christie were horrible at spelling and grammar but had good editors.

Assuming that being bad at spelling and grammar indicates an 'intellectual threshold' is a dangerous path.

Calculus is a filter class because it is taught in a way that favors rote memorization of unexplained concepts, but introduce some abstract algebra concepts to a student or coworker and many can move forward.

Rote memorization does have value, but equating memorization skills wilh ultimate intellectual ability leads to far lower educational attainment for many people.

Great guitarists and other difficult skills are far less about 'natural abilities' than it is about hard work and being exposed to an environment that does discourage that hard work.

Stem is the same as is creative writing or effective communication.

It is hard for everyone to learn, but people forget how much effort it took.
There's a lot wrong here. To start, modern foragers are very different than their pleistocene counterparts. They have much more advanced technology and live in significantly more marginal environments. They're also limited to what their environments support mostly by choice and modern society. They almost always have significant contact with sedentary agriculturalists, acting as guides and selling resources in trade.

Secondly, the whole point of being a nomadic forager is that you move. If whatever region you're in runs out of food, you leave to somewhere with more. The pastoral version of this is called transhumance. It's been made more difficult in the modern era, so we see much greater reliance on local productivity today.

There was constant foraging occurring, but modern foragers definitely don't believe themselves to be on the edge of starvation and they spend enough time socializing around camp with each other that they could easily spend foraging more food if they saw a need to.
Did anyone capture it in video format, with a high-ISO camera mounted to a telescope? It would be fun to see it, if it's possible with today's image sensors.
> No, it wasn't, it was to enable forum hosts to moderate content

That is incomplete. The actual reason was to isolate liability of ISPs that host online forums which receives user submissions and moderates those user submissions such that publication of content on those forums cannot be cause to sue the hosting ISP. The motivation had nothing to do with protecting forum moderators themselves even if that is the result of the law.

> No, if it was outside of Section 230, the opposite would be the case.

There is no reason to believe that outside of vague speculation, at least in the case of modern social media, because this issue remains untested against modern social media. When looking at other venues of publication moderation does occur economically without protection from section 230 or anything equivalent.
You're also absolutely right - I hadn't considered that point of view, and that we also shouldn't be "de facto" censoring subjects. I implore the community here to not ruin the general HN forum with the usual insanity around this subject.

You're more right than wrong, but I want to push back just a little. You can write a buffer overflow in safe rust if you store multiple things in the same array and work with indices rather than slices. Of course the risk is bounded by what shares an array, and it's more awkward than doing it any of several right ways. You won't write a buffer overflow in safe rust... but you can if you want to.
IANAL, and I'm genuinely curious -- are these customer non-compete clauses actually illegal?

These clauses do seem clearly anti-competitive, but is that enough? Your complaint mentions attempts to "acquire and maintain monopoly power" which seems like a stretch given that no company seems within reach of a "monopoly" ... which is why you're able to rattle off a list of companies in this space.

Like, if they're not actually conspiring, but they're each trying to squash competition, and a likely result is that only a small number of rich organizations have the means (including user data) to continually improve LLMs ... is that competition-blocking a crime?
Eh, I'd put an asterisk on the "never been easier for a small number of people to build a great game" comment. On one hand, what can be achieved by an individual with today's engines is indisputably incredible relative to what was possible in the past. On the other hand, expectations from players have also had a pretty huge runaway explosion as well, meaning the ability for a small team to achieve commercial success is more of a mixed bag.

It obviously still happens. Lethal Company is a great example of that (1 developer, currently the top seller on Steam), but compared to the DOOM/Myst/etc era where ALL games were developed by small teams it's harder to establish a niche.
