> just how rapidly it has lost its perception of being a dominant superpower

This is probably a good thing. Hard to stay focused on improvement when one is dominant. When just as many people from the US go outside for education and/or immigration as people from outside go to the US, we will know that things outside the US are in better condition.
so what is better?
I don’t know who the author considers “elite”, but I do consider News very marginal to me already (for several years actually). To keep the analogy, Art is much more important to me than News.

But I do consider myself in the elite of my country, considering wealth and education. I am not a millionaire, but my monthly income put me in the top 5%. I only have a bachelor degree, but that also puts me in the top 20%. Is that the elite they meant?
I'm a Kagi user myself but I'm not going to extrapolate that to thinking that because I use something that it points to the downfall of another product's dominance.

Just because a few techy or aware people use Kagi (or another alternative), is still a drop in the bucket of overall search engine choice

Google search is still widely dominant, as much as we might not want it to be.

>>Devices can't literally own a person, so it's not the correct use.

No, it is actually completely correct. But for the sake of playing this fun game of being "Technically right" here's also a dictionary definition:

Slave noun:

"a person entirely under the domination of some influence or person:"

She was a slave to her own ambition.

>>and not accept colloquial usage has perverted the term

No such thing has happened, words can have both literal and figurative meaning.
It's definition 1 in the link you shared:

I’ve been reading NPR along with some foreign sites like the guardian and Al Jazeera and it really feels like the US is drinking its own koolaid WRT what gets covered and what doesn’t.

Many issues that a majority of the population has an agreed position get no time and discussion in the news or by our elected representatives.

Other reporting brings to mind the expression that’s something like: the news is great except when I know more about the topic than the journalist is presenting.

> OTOH, it's amazing that apparently they don't have UI tests for FF mobile.

Why? They don't have UI tests for Opera on the Nintendo Wii either, and at this point I bet the install base for Wii-Opera is still larger than the install base for FF mobile.

TBH, when I was there it surprised me that Google didn't have a dedicated hardware test-bench room with rows upon rows of browser deployments that every UI change needed to be burn-in tested on, but... They don't. They never did. In general, their strategy is to be nimble and deploy rapidly (with the expectation they can roll back rapidly). In that context, it actually makes sense why they don't have that warehouse of test-bench installations... They'd slow-down rollbacks as well as rollouts.

A handful of projects have dedicated testing targets. They're driven mostly by the ideology of individual Googlers (some people really like Firefox) and a handful of high-value users that have specific installs Google isn't interested in pissing off. Since they do very little (relatively speaking) B2B business, that's a very short list of names.
It is described in a succinct way. "DataFrames" is that description. It's the very first text on the page. It's really the same as having the word "database" be the first text on the landing page of a new database project. If you don't know what the word "database" means, the landing page for a new database project is really not the place to expect to learn about that. The "data frame" concept is not quite as old or broad as the concept of "databases", but it's really not that far off. It's decades old, and is about as close to a universal concept for data work as it's possible to get.

> It could end up akin to classical music, contemporary art, and literary fiction — important for a few in the upper crust, marginal to the lives of the majority of the public.

Most journalism nowadays is like pop music: it does not really provide anything new.

You can take a newspaper or a radio show from any day, replay it any other day, and it will probably pass unnoticed.

The main problem, as I see it, is that there's just too much of it. There's no need for daily news and journalists produce formulaic content because it's the only way to produce so much content.
You're missing the point. It's not about having a monopoly and isn't really about the "free market" (which I don't think applies here anyway), that's not what the parent comment was about. It was more about that if you don't take on money and grow organically without outside funding, there's a real risk that someone else will take the idea, make their own version of it, but pump a lot of money into development, sales, and marketing and very likely overtake you, regardless of the quality of your product. Of course some companies are able to withstand this or are able to thrive without much outside capital, but given the risk, it's safer to take the VC money.
I wouldn't be so enthusiastic. Look at other languages that have JIT now: Ruby and PHP. After years of efforts, they are still an order of magnitude slower than V8 and even PyPy [1]. It seems to me that you need to design a JIT implementation from ground up to get good performance – V8, Dart and LuaJIT are like this; if you start with a pure interpreter, it may be difficult to speed it up later.

What particular "competitive advantage" does the US have in "energy production"?

Do we employ so many such workers, that there are none left over for any sort of manufacturing?

Some of what we're seeing from the r/antiwork crowd, where a bunch of millennials and zoomers are complaining that their Starbucks jobs don't pay enough comes from the fact that, for many of them, that is the only class of job available (retail/restaurants). They might welcome regular-schedule, $17/hour jobs, which wasn't an unknown rate for manufacturing in the US when I was young in the late 1980s/1990s.

I struggle to understand the attitudes and narcissism of the leaders within this country that decided we didn't have to make our own products, that people elsewhere in the world would do it for us while we really didn't do anything at all. I wonder if they thought software could employ all the people who are griping right now about living wages and meaningful work.

Disclaimer on this tool, this does not appear to be sentiment analysis, but merely text analytics sometimes known as text mining. The interpretations you draw from that are a lot more wishy washy.
It's fun to fantasize about being in the midst of a high stakes boardroom battle like in your favorite movie, but the boring truth is that your company is not important enough. Focus on surviving and making money first. That's exactly what your investors want as well.
Its pretty funny because one of the only decent arguments against Beeper was that iMessage isn't actually free because it is a service that is funded by hardware sales so therefore Apple is under no obligation to provide it to non-customers.
News has always been, and always will be, only important to the elites. They feed it to us to make us feel like we have agency.
Ask HN: Why isn't there an LLM chat for learning a foreign language?
Everyone agrees that the absolute best way to learn a foreign language is immersion. And nothing beats constant exposure to conversing in that language. A recent discussion here on Duolingo even validates that.

So...how/why hasn't LLM completely upended this market?

If I had a Spanish LLM that I could converse with (either spoken, or text) for an hour a day I'd likely get WAY more mileage out of it then a gamified UI full of badges and leaderboards and artifice.
But from my perspective sideloading is not necessarily a separate on-device store.

An on-device store would be equivalent to Steam which first need to be installed on the device for example via the regular iOS App Store or sideloading or another already installed app store.

Sideloading would be downloading from a web page or secondary device or similar method.

Separate stores would be a decent middle-ground for my part when less tech-savvy people inevitably ask me "can I trust this app" I can reply with "are you about to install it from store X or Y or download elsewhere?". If the answer is "that store from Epic Games" I could sigh quietly and say "it's likely okay".

PRs are decentralised. Everyone has their own "fork" of the repo, makes changes there, then tries to convince the maintainer of the "main" repo to pull.

This is exactly what the decentralised model was meant to do. It doesn't mean that every copy of the repo is equal in importance, but they are equal in functionality.

(Or, maybe you mean that it's "centralised" in the sense that it's all on github.com?)

>Even more importantly, the vast majority of copyright claims aren't litigated in a court at all. Most are handled by extrajudicial processes such as the DMCA takedown process. You do not have to register to issue a DMCA takedown.

Service providers don't take things down in the absence of any proof of a copyright.

>Furthermore, right now people just register before bringing their suit because they have 5 years to do so. The proposal above is a lot different than what you're suggesting and the law doesn't work as you're describing.

You have unlimited time to register. It's not 5 years. You just need to register prior to bringing a suit.

One thing that has helped me with meetings is adding focus time to my calendar. I block off 2 hours per day for focus time. You can schedule a meeting during my focus time, and I can decline the meeting.

I also decline meetings with no agenda and let the organizer know I declined due to the lack of agenda.

Conventional game AI is usually search algorithms for movement (like A*) + finite state machines for behavior. No network calls to LLMs, no machine learning, etc. At the fringes, throw in the odd markov chain for procedural text generation.

Basically AI post 2019 usually means LLM, and they're making the distinction that this is not that.
I don't see this as an enhancement.

Not pursuing JIT or efficient compilation in general was a deliberate decision way back when Python made some kind of sense. It was the simplicity of implementation valued over performance gains that motivated this decision.

The mantra Python programmers liked to repeat was that "the performance is good enough, and if you want to go fast, write in C and make a native module".

And if you didn't like that, there was always Java.

Today, Python is getting closer and closer to be "the crappy Java with worse syntax". Except we already have that: it's called Groovy.

Yes, and you if sideload a store app from a website (a random one, or Facebook, MS, etc), Apple is out of control in that case. They could ban the altstore from their own App Store, but not from the web.

My problem is exactly with these "safe stores from well known companies". Apple helps me. EpicStore and MetaStore helps them sidestep the anti-tracking and anti-spam rules of App Store.

When a service reaches a certain size, it is not just a small free service for its users. This is the point of gatekeeper regulations: Ensuring that services large enough to have significant impact on people are well-behaved and compatible.

The argument that iMessage is a service provided by Apple for Apple products and that they should be allowed to do whatever with their products is the same argument they've used to restrict App Store, force developers to use their payment systems and charge outrageous cuts of every payment a user might make through there.

iMessage plays quite a notable role in this, as a user whose friends use iMessage (more prevalent in parts of the U.S. I think) might feel unable to move away in order to be connected to their iMessage-using friends, in turn ensuring that they keep buying iPhones and paying Apple a 30% cut of all their app subscriptions from Duolingo to Disney+.
For (2) I like to do:

1. `from polars import col` which at least shortens each use by a few characters
2. For columns that I use very frequently, define a "constant" for them e.g. ID=col("id").

This lets you do df.groupby(ID) instead of df.groupby(pl.col("ID")).
Another advantage of defining these column "constants" is that it makes it much easier to refactor to rename all usages of the column (without needing to check whether each string "id" is being used as a column name vs. something else)
First time I’ve heard of it but seems very cool. My background is data science though so being able to use DS libraries or even apply a python function is why I find myself in Pandas / Polars. This seems very powerful for a data engineer.

I also think it’s awesome you guys have a duckdb integration - maybe I’ll try it out.
No, the article says that total IT employment increased by 700 jobs last year. The first derivative declined but was still positive (barely), so the second derivative was negative.
I'll attempt to clarify my rationale:

(a) For one's own sake, please pick the better tool as evaluated over suitable timeframe (perhaps an hour or two, after you've got some familiarity and muscle memory for the API) instead of only a brief evaluation (e.g. only 15 minutes).

(b) Better open source tools (defined however you want), which benefit us all, get better uptake when people think beyond merely the short-term.

The essence of my argument is "think beyond the short-term". Hardly controversial.

Don't miss the context: LLMs are giving people even more excuses for short-term thinking. Humans are terribly tempted for short-sighted "victories".

I've had issues on many cards, this was just one example.

Every GPU I have ever had, particularly AMD, have been noisy cards. I have hyperacusis and can hear a butterfly fart a block away, so silence is paramount to me.

I don't even allow deep sleep states on my Intel processors because I can hear it. Modern motherboards are beginning to include "acoustic adaptations" to try and fix, but they rarely work in my experience.
What I learned in journalism classes: yes, they mostly did. People would read the headline and, if the story was of some interest to them, the first paragraph. Most readers wouldn't read the full story unless it was something of particular interest to them.

We were taught that the first paragraph of a story should summarize the entire story because most people won't read past that.

Also, people tend to think they are informed about a story even when they just read the headline alone, despite that being obviously nonsensical.

I hung out with a friend of mine in Shenzen who does this stuff all the time (and is Chinese not that is super important other than the fact being fluent helps a ton).

Together we prototyped a product over a 2 month period, him handling the HW and EE bits and me writing the board firmware and HIL simulator/test-harness.

We would get some boards, he would find and correct any issues with the board, get a new file to the board house before 5pm and we would get new boards in the morning at 9am delivered by a motorbike courier for about $20 or something. As a software guy that seemed pretty insane to me.

All up we probably did about 6 or 7 HW revisions like that and a few of those probably could have been avoidable if more care was taken but why would we when it's so cheap to iterate so quickly?

Unfortunately for various reasons we didn't choose to continue the project but I learnt a hell of a lot and really enjoyed hanging in Shenzhen and getting to understand the hacker culture there a bit more. We burnt overall a pretty small amount of money to learn some important lessons that I think would have been much more expensive anywhere else in the world.
Deep-sea mining: Norway approves controversial practice
Without diminishing your achievements, the term 'elite' often refers to individuals possessing substantial societal influence, through wealth or similar channels.

This usually means the top 0.01%.
Back when GitHub was in infancy, git-web was the top crop UI, our tracker was either one of Trac or Redmine, CI was a Hudson/Jenkins hellscape, the world "cloud" referred to water in the sky, reliable VMs were a distant dream, and servers were not cheap, our team of three~four people set up decentralised git over ssh.

Each developer workstation had a git user with ssh enabled and restricted to some git invocation I can't recall, and chgrp git / chmod g+rwS a conventional path, and remotes named from team members. PRs were literally that: either emails or one shouting to another over our desk that someone could git pull from one's machine straight from their (non-bare) repo.

The whole development process was entirely decentralised, any one's machine was as worthy as the next one and there was no single point of failure.

This is incredibly misleading, as it has little (to nothing) to do with any AI bubble. To tie this to a current bubble, you’d have to show some sort of outsized growth in these companies since the AI hype train started, and that’s not the case.

So the only story here is that stocks have managed to mostly keep pace with each other before and during the current AI hype cycle.
