> People's attitude to Elon especially cracks me up. Before he acquired Twitter he could do no wrong. He was Tony Stark, and the Internet loved him. Then he fired thousands of overpaid Silicon Valley developers that were failing to properly engineer a chat platform that sends 1KB text messages, and suddenly he become the Antichrist and could do no good.

Musk has been cratering his reputation with the garbage that comes out of his mouth or from his keyboard for YEARS. From "FSD. This year. For reals this time." to "It would be financially irresponsible to not own a Tesla by the end of 2019 and have a vehicle making you money as a robotaxi" to "Funding secured" to "Pedo diver".

Your attempt to frame his reputation challenges as what, a bunch of butt-hurt geeks annoyed that they or some of their peers were fired from Twitter, doesn't pass even the most trivial of sanity checks.

The Maginot line in France has become synonymous with a useless measure of defence providing a false sense of security though.

It's a combination of several things.

First military hardware is a lot more expensive. A ww2 tank was a big piece of iron with a diesel engine in it, a modern tank has a ton more tech, all produced in small series (imagine the cost of the iphone if only 1000 were manufactured a year). That's even worst for planes. You can't line up an army on the scale of ww2 armies. And since the EU can't agree on single plane or tank design anyway, the volumes for each device are tiny and design/fixed costs hugely expensive to amortise.

Then you have socialist or quasi-socialist governments all over Europe, in France in particular, but even in the UK, slashing military budgets to launch big redistribution programs, along with building up big bureaucracies since the 80s. Government spending managed to go up as the share of military spending and other basic services (police, justice) went down. The problem with benefits is that people come to rely on them and then it becomes politically impossible to cut them back (same thing in the US), unless you have a Thatcher, but there is none on the horizon. So basically now these countries are stuck and have zero wriggle room even to face imminent danger.

That's the cost of free riding on US military spending for half a century. If an elected Trump walks away from both Ukraine and NATO, Putin will have free reign to bully the other missing pieces of his russian empire (moldavia, baltic states, even poland). And there will be little a country like France will be able to do with its small military samples. Its army was seized to bomb terrorist camps in Africa and nuke an invader. They have nothing in between.
Still works on link farms, yep. And works pretty well!
Unrelatedly, speaking of category theory diagrams, SIGBOVIK 2014 has a gentle introduction to these.

> Unlike python, however, you can’t just call an interpreter to run this program.

Sure you can: "tcc -run hello.c". Okay, technically that's an in-memory compiler rather than an interpreter.

For extra geek points, have your program say "Hellorld" instead of "Hello world".
It’s interesting how the TSLA investing community is divided over FSD and Robotaxi. The more traditional investors (including most institutions) basically put little value on it, and usually send the stock tumbling when Elon utters anything that makes it seem FSD or Robotaxi are diverting resources from just plain old making plain old electric cars. Their take seems to be that while those technologies have a promising future, putting too much into them now threatens the entire company in the short term.

Meanwhile, many non-traditional investors, including the cultists that basically worship Elon, are putting everything on FSD/Robotaxi. Some of them want Elon to stop selling cars to the public altogether ASAP so he can stockpile them for the Robotaxi fleet that will surely be launched yesterday.

> Bates himself is a case in point, no? He is a technologically and legally savvy person. He would not sign anything that made him legally responsible for system errors

But he did sign the standard SPM contract, which once Horizon arrived, did make him legally responsible for some consequences of system errors. To avoid that, he have had to have quit.

> The change we need is in the law, to take away the weapons that these bullies use to extract and intimidate...

Agreed. But can the court system afford the huge retrial load this would deliver for sundry non-PO cases going back decades? Or must Parliament hand out free pardons for those too?

> probably just wouldn't refer to British people as "black"

Not all, but many have African heritage. They're both black and British.

I understand why we capitalise Black and also why some people object to it. I simply found it humorous to notice that it's an America-centric vision of ethnicity; why a black African gets a lower-case b while a Black Chicagoan gets a full-blown B seems to have escaped at least me until now.
> Tesla's system is Level 2

Which I'm happy with. I do 95% of driving on Autopilot already. Add another 4% for FSD that I'm happy to babysit and I'd be very happy.

For some reason people are so caught up on naming choice and what it implies...

Close to 40(!) years later the original NES I grew up with still works and if you can find a cartridge and a TV that will play it, it will fire right up and work.

In a sense we are very lucky these days these companies even extend support as long as they did for this particular case - in the future I think the window between "next gen version release" and the deprecation of the previous version will get smaller and smaller.

There is no financial incentive for them to keep the servers alive, so they don't. Thusly video game manufacturers should avoid making being online a necessity to play the game - but that's unlikely to get better either.

Not sure the solution, other than to provide "offline mode" for most games that really really do not need to be online other than to force players into some microtransaction/tracking hell.
Of the 120,000 Japanese in camps, 1862 known to have died. That was lower death rate than the US overall. Probably cause there were fewer elderly since immigrants tend to be young. I'm sure there is research if deaths were excessive but couldn't find it.

Compare to German concentration camps which would probably be called death camps if not for the extermination camps. Or to the Japanese internment camps in China.

Internment camps were bad but they are lower level of bad.

It's interesting to me that Lewis is so engaged with it. I read Paradise Lost as a sort of fanfic. Milton does not claim to be a prophet or that it is some literal representation of heaven and hell. Within the book Satan is a fictional character with the same sort of appeal as Walter White or the Joker or Severus Snape. They seem cool as long as you don't think about it too deeply.

But I don't mean this as a criticism of Lewis who I adore. I'll have to read his Preface, since I'm sure they'll deepen my understanding.
I don't think this explanation exhibits a 'dose response'. The UK, industrialized for over a century, have had a very small proportion of their population engaged in wheat farming in the last few generations, yet it is a more individualistic society. Ukraine has wheat as a major export and has continually had a far far greater proportion of the population who are close to wheat farming or are at least conscious of its importance to the economy.

Is Ukraine more individualistic than the UK? It appears to be the opposite.

But then again if your program have places where choosing the right Python primitive is important for performance, then using python is affecting performance here since even the best algorithm in Python would be slower than the equivalent C.

Most of the time it doesn't matter because there's nothing hoy on the Python side, but if there is, then Python is going to be slowing your stuff down.
I'm really worried that Nintendo is going to sue them to protect their virtual console/nintendo online revenue on Switch. Hopefully they don't, but the Yuzu/Citra precedent is worrying.
With art on the other hand there is no objective measure of quality, so the models are instead taught to treat already existing art as the benchmark to strive towards, making them trite by nature.

Isn't this reminiscent of the arguments that were made at the dawn of photography as an art form? Some were afraid that portraiture was finished as an art form, but we got Impressionism, Cubism, and a host of other innovative forms to take its place. Never mind that portraiture was not in fact killed by photography, nor was any other visual form.

Others swore that cameras and film would never be valid implements of art, but they got awfully quiet when Adams and Weston and others showed up on the scene, and you don't hear much from them at all these days.

If nobody was afraid of AI -- if nobody was screaming bloody murder about how urgent it was to stop it -- only then could we safely say that it will have no role or relevance in art.

I suspect the doctrine of nuke as a warning shot is less effective today when a small group can launch, either for own purposes or as a proxy for another state, a large group of drones to strike with speed and precision the targets 1000+ km away. With that threat type nuking is not an option and we are back to traditional defense. My 2c.

SimpleDB still works for my company's AWS account. There's been no announcement of a shutdown that I've seen (and I check occasionally since it's almost entirely disappeared from most of AWS's documentation).
I would say it’s not important unless you’ve been working on something groundbreaking or very famous.

Otherwise it might just give you a slight edge over another “all else being equal” candidate.

This is an outstanding article. I appreciate how Ashish explains complex concepts and issues in language that a non-computer expert can appreciate and understand. I wish more authors could be as articulate!
You can always disengage and drive faster. Old, overly safe and imperfect drivers exist already. Do you suggest kicking them off road?

How about hardware? Is it all 100% safe? IIRC USA doesn't even require yearly warrant of fitness / MOT.

Are the roads perfectly designed and in perfect conditions? How about weather? Do you stop driving when there's blizzard outside?
Why? E2EE inherently needs to run on the client, and Python isn't very practical for the client side of Web apps.
Nice! I wondered if someone would beat that TAS level anyway.

Another interesting fact: Write a Hello World program in C++, run the preprocessor on it (g++ -E), then count the lines of the output.

It basically breaks democracy. It was already on shaky ground with the polarization Social Media was encouraging. Now Russia or China or whoever will be able to flood every social network with so much bot activity that they will be able to steer apparent political conversation in any direction they want.

People carefully match their political opinions to their tribe. What if your tribe is 10,000 LLM driven accounts that produce mostly normal conversational white noise except for around election time when they inject 5% political talking points?

So now to counter Russia and China, Western govs will need their own LLM bot armies to argue counterpoints with the adversarial bots. What’s a human to do?

Still not sure if I’m talking to a LLM.

I'm Canadian for what it's worth. My mother who had a GED was able to purchase a house by my age. I can't purchase a house anywhere in southern Ontario at the moment. This fact is echoed across the majority of the country. My brother had to move to northern Alberta to be able to afford a house that had enough capacity for his family. And that naturally also changed the availability of social and job options
So, how do we stop people lionising "strong men"? The West has a very
big problem with cults of celebrity. And we both know that's
dangerous. People put folks up on a pedestal just because they conned
some other people out of lots of money. Meanwhile we mock and
marginalise the actual quiet competence of the dying middle classes
and ordinary professionals that run things.

I think a first step is to re-evaluate "success". The billionaires are
not successful humans, as people. They are simply rich.
Bull. That’s why I put the comment in parentheses.

They had already switched their laptops to all USB-C many years ago. And iPad Pros. I think the iPad Air and iPad (no name) switched as well.

There were also strong rumblings Apple was going to release the USB-C iPhones when the rule was passed.

> They tend to oppose standards they aren't already using.

You’re kidding right? Then explain USB. Or Thunderbolt. Of every other thing I listed above. Apple didn’t invent any of them and open them. They were all existing standards.

They are not – if the goal becomes to capture the king, and check-related rules are removed from the game, stalemates become impossible.
> From the war up until adopting the Euro, Finland would devalue its currency a little over once a decade to keep commodity exports going.

True. When Finland dropped 2 digits from its currency in the 60s the Finnish Mark and the German Mark where roughly 1:1. When the Euro was introduced 40 years later the exchange rate was 3:1. So 200% inflation over the years more than Germany which was far from stable either. So Finland was a high inflation country all the time.

I don't think high inflation countries are known for good economy. Finland for example had massive emigration. I don't think by having continued the high inflation route after 2000 the situation would be significantly brighter today.

I'd most definitely want it to mainly link to the source comments/threads, no regurgitation necessary.

UI could be anything really as I'm not picky, self-hosted would be a huge plus.

Example queries could look like: "(what's a) setup for X?" (where X might be "on-prem ETL" for instance), "troubleshooting Y", "books about Z" or "obscure web finds" (this one's tricky because it's subjective and perhaps implicit). I guess many more inspirations can be found in the Ask section. Pretty sure a lot of questions get repeated.

I'd already be happy if the results were "ontologically obvious" close to my query, effectively searching phrases modulo synonyms.

With search as it currently is, I have to rephrase my query because I can't conjure the exact wording to exclude the many false positives (or include any true positives ;)), usually resorting to site: queries on other search engines or giving up.

Also, I should really have curated better myself these past years... HN is a cool place, but it, like other feed-like sites, surely has a short memory.

Similarly, imagine the info that is stored in Discord chat history, never to be retrieved again unless the right users come together at the right time and the info is repeated (as if we're back to oral history, except this time with perfect recordings).

Hope this helped somewhat, trying to keep it brief.

I'll say it's entirely possible this is an overreaction. I was writing up a fun weekend investigation of a weird looking project as I dug into it. There's a reason it's a series of posts on Mastadon and not anything more formal than that.

To clarify one thing, I'm not concerned that they "work in marketing". I am concerned that that the marketing page is fake: it's a bunch of AI generated faces and fake LinkedIn profiles. This does not lead me to the conclusion that they work in marketing at all.

As for your version of the script, it still strikes me as a _little_ weird (why put a self-install inside the .zshrc that is only expected to run once per system you have it on), but clearly far less concerning than the version they have in the current docs.

All code execution involves some degree of trust. There's enough here to make me personally not trust the developer, but if the information here doesn't give someone else the same qualms, that's entirely fine.
It turns out that automating both sides of a fundamentally human interaction didn't work, who knew?

I think the real answer here is that just cold applying for positions is a losing game. Working with recruiters or talking to people internally at the company you want to work for feels like a way better approach right now. Everything I've heard about cold applying right now makes it sounds like it's a million idiots applying to everything with chatgpt and the companies using AI on their end to screen that firehose of bad applications. I get like 5 recruiting emails a week at least and when I was looking near the end of last year I could be pretty picky, so I disagree that the market is completely terrible. It's worse than before but for experienced devs there's still a lot of opportunities.
Plus people will get a lot less worked up about AI picking and aiming at targets in the air vs on the ground.
That's a different job market. Canada's unemployment rate just tipped over 6%.

I'd argue that manufacturing is also too broad of a category to be useful as something to mention, and every similar statement of "X industry is basically hiring anyone" rarely ends up being true in a practical way. It always needs to be qualified somehow, and usually by a lack of competition in the physical region of the facilities. That's my impression anyway, I'm sure everyone's experience varies, but people are getting ghosted for all kinds of jobs. Within tech, people often suggest going to work for government or some big corp that's not FAANG as the backup path, but you still need to go through similar hiring gauntlets or live down the street from the office, or in the capital, or meet a lot more of the silly list of requirements up front, or have specific certs, and they still need to be hiring
Seven years ago I took remote Go playing lessons from a South Korean professional player. I stopped after about 5 months and started using CS Pro Go on my iPad Pro and it has a nice teaching feature of rating every one of my moves so after a game I can see where my biggest mistakes were. This is different than pro players learning new surprising strategies, for me it is nice to use.
That’s a straw man. His detractors aren’t suggesting that investors should be prohibited from giving him money. The point is just that he is a wildly unreliable human being, even if you think he’s a good financial investment.
Hi neighbor! Even with the clouds covering at the critical moment, the experience was just so one of those things you must experience yourself as you'll never get a sense of it from just someone else describing it to you. I had been reading and watching content from people that had previously experience eclipses, and even though what they describe happening happened, it's just totally different in person. I used to say this about seeing the Grand Canyon for the first time after seen pictures/video of it, but the eclipse was at least 10x that experience.

I'm thankful for the clouds clearing enough for the experience, but I really felt that the totally clear skies within minutes of totality ending was really just a slap in the face from the universe!
