This is true, but there is a mitigation available: The site can require the resource to match a specified cryptographic hash before running. This did not work with polyfill.io because that CDN would dynamically return different resources based on the user agent.

I agree that there is a competition for the crown of the world’s AI capital. (Presently between Washington and Beijing.) But Brazil is too small to demand a seat at the table, like the EU can. That means it shouldn’t give its leverage away for free.

None of this addresses perhaps the main issue. Bell Labs predated the venture capital revolution of the 1970s.

The key insight of venture capital was that firms like Bell Labs were holding on to very valuable resources at compensation rates that were far below what those resources could generate if they were empowered to create their own firms.

This was tremendously successful. While we have no counterfactual, innovation in the US blosomed ove the last 50 years. The fundamental research may have languished (I would probably disagree, moore's law didn't happen through magic for example) a tremendous number of companies, and all of the large companies we know of today, which provide all of the services of the modern world were a result of venture capital.

I wish more took your path and literally just tested for actual industry experience: general architecture, asking questions when the situation is unclear and explaining unexpected/interesting findings from a previous project. And anyway, if they end up actually being a fraud, get rid of them after the initial probation time is up.

From what I know (which is very little though I follow the news with excitement) HIV is "suppressed" by making it untestably low, which means (apparently) that you are also not contagious. IIRC, therefore maybe you are a carrier, but you experience no symptoms, will not develop AIDS, cannot be proven to be a carrier via testing, and are not contagious. Good enough.

However, in this particular treatment, it was via bone marrow donation, so it literally did change the DNA / body.
When I bought and sold a house:

As a first time buyer, the commission was totally worth it for such a major purchase. Yes, I could self-educate, but that leaves me open to beginner's mistakes.

As a first time seller, the amount of work to get my house sold was INSANE, even though I was only there three years. Yes, I could do it myself, but I have better things to do, and in this case, beginner's mistakes could have implications if I violate a law I don't understand.

HN is having a major influx of users. If you're curious look at https://hackernews-insight.vercel.app/overview . It would be strange if it weren't changing into a different place! There's many more lurkers here and that's going to change the dynamic significantly. I suspect a lot of the lowering civility you perceive is coming from a larger userbase that sees less kinship in the other and sees this place more like a text-oriented Twitter to shout at each other. Also larger userbases attract zealots and so you probably (at least I do) see an increase in zealotry.

It's a very different HN now. HN is now a major tech news site with a large userbase and a large lurker population. That's very different to the medium sized, highly engaged userbase of before.

It's nothing you can change. Spaces with large userbases work and feel differently than spaces with smaller userbases. Discord, Bluesky, and Xitter in that order are where I spend my time more these days. On Discord nobody is going to try to dunk on me because they're jaded or angry or whatever, Bluesky has rich enough moderation that I can ignore the haters, and Xitter gives me the breadth that neither Discord nor Bluesky can. HN is a minority of my time. I just treat it as the "angry tech people site."

I'm not actually sure. We have a web page where we request group access and then I think it emails another project lead and they have to approve it but I don't know how it all works.

Then we have another internal command that we run in every new shell where we include the groups we want access to. It runs and if we run the "groups" command before and after we see the new groups. But there is a limit to the number of groups so it is a pain if you need to access multiple projects at the same time because libraries and stuff are in different project areas.
I completely agree.

But villifying the companies that sell "oil" is getting ridiculous at this point. Not to mention, the "Big, bad oil companies" are some of the biggest investors in clean energy.

I would like to think at least some people got that.

All I'm saying is that the 1980s (and the preceding decades) were full of people predicting and describing all sorts of things that then happened (as well as others getting it totally wrong). To find Jobs in 1983 "breathtaking" and "prophetic" is, to me, a bit of a hyperbolic take, considering the reality of that moment in history. Lots of interesting people were imagining the future, and making it happen.

I think, ironically, the "Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017" has gutted tech jobs and R&D in a profound way.

> The TCJA amended I.R.C. §174 such that, beginning in 2022, firms that invest in R&D are no longer able to currently deduct their R&D expenses. Rather, they must amortize their costs over five years, starting with the midpoint of the taxable year in which the expense is paid or incurred. For costs attributable to research conducted outside the U.S., such costs must be amortized over 15 years. This will be the first time since 1954 that companies will have to amortize their R&D costs, rather than immediately deduct those expenses.

The act actually took us back by many decades in terms of R&D incentives, and devastated US competitiveness vs China by disincentivizing R&D across the board.

Your comments are based on a handful of FAANG companies. PIP didn't exist and doesn't exist in most places now. The three months probation allows an employer to let someone go without notice. If they are let go within a year 2 weeks are owed.

I'm not worried about big Faangs spending millions on bad hires so logically they have to spend tens of millions on a hiring process that bleeds money and produces not great results. They play this game where they push back stock grants to the last years of a 4 year vest and offer a low base rate. That first year isn't costing them much and with an average of less than 2 years of employment (Amazon) it becomes a profit center.

You would think a faang should be able to find the best people the easiest but they struggle more than a smaller shop.
I loved the ending of Newhart, RIP.
Me too, but sometimes the government sells data to companies and data brokers. Thats why I had to de-register from voting. They were handing my residential address to third parties. I also detest any KYC that insists on a residential address. SSN and a passport number should be more than enough to know who I am. USPS and DMV are also culprits. Never file a CoA with the USPS. They just hand out your new address to companies if you do.
Why on earth is a government website linking anything from Facebook, Snapchat, etc? USPS isn't a trendy coffee shop or a designer brand, they're a federal agency of the United States government and should be held to a higher trust and privacy standard.

> the links you provided describe these applications without references to warranties and standards and regulation.

This is not true. For example, quoting from page 2 of the paper that is linked to in a discussion I posted, An Executable Specification of Oncology Dose-Escalation Protocols with Prolog, available from https://arxiv.org/abs/2402.08334:

"Standards are of great importance in the medical sector and play a significant role in procurement decisions, resolution of legal disputes, warranty questions, and the preparation of teaching material. It is to be expected that the use of an ISO-standardized programming language will enable the broadest possible adoption of our approach in such a safety-critical application area. For these reasons, we are using Scryer Prolog for our application. Scryer Prolog is a modern Prolog system written in Rust that aims for strict conformance to the Prolog ISO standard and satisfies all syntactic conformity tests given in https://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/ulrich/iso-prolog/conformi...."

Regarding warranty guarantees of Scryer Prolog, may I suggest you contact its author if you need to negotiate arrangements that are not catered for by the only licence terms you currently have access to?

One important advantage you get from the strict syntactic conformance of Scryer Prolog is that it reliably tells you what is Prolog syntax and what is not. In this way, you can use it as a free reference system to learn what Prolog is. The conformance makes it easier to switch to other conforming systems, such as SICStus Prolog which also offers different licences and commercial support, when you need to.

> The users in these super-sensitive domains don't seem as sensitive about them as you claim.

I am at a loss at this phrasing and also about the content of this text. Apart from the facts that I did not use the wording "super-sensitive", and that the importance of standards is explicitly stated in the paper I quoted above, is there even the slightest doubt about the great importance of standards when building and operating giant particle accelerators or devising dose escalation trials in clinical oncology?

This reads like nonsense to me, so I can only assume the disagreement is semantic.
When I moved a year ago, I didn't file an address change. I only gave it to my bank and a few others I needed to keep informed of my address. Almost none of the junk from my old address has followed me to my new address. One annoying exception has been the DMV in my new state informing the Secretary of State in my old state that I surrendered my old state's license for one in my new state. The SoS sent me a letter asking if the move was permanent or not because if so, they wanted to remove me from my old state's voting roll. I understand the desire to keep voting rolls clean but I'm not happy that this happened behind my back. Plus before I moved, I went to the SoS's site for my old state and informed them that I was moving and should be removed. I'm guessing they get a feed from other states and just mail everyone without checking if you've already been removed. Given the general incompetence of the SoS in my old state, it's probably just a matter of time before they leak out my new address to interested parties. I haven't registered to vote in my new state and unregistered in my old state so it's not like I'm trying to double vote or even vote at all.
