I don't think there is much to gain from intelligent Japanese people from becoming fluent in English, other than maybe leaving the country. They can already make a good living by climbing the ladder in a large firm.

It is unrealistic for the average person in the country to become fluent in English reading/writing - lots of people are barely literate in their original language. Even if everyone became more skilled and wealthier, what would that achieve? Import more junk from overseas? Increased wealth will just be funneled into land or spent on smartphone games and prostitutes.

Japan is the regional cultural superpower - that doesn't require they have the largest economy or military.
Helm charts are a horrible example of text based templating.

You have YAML/JSON that k8s API wants, that is fed through helm which is fed through helmsman or whatever newer thing. There might be a layer or two of other templating around. Sometimes companies have built systems so developers/devops don't even have the ability to see what the final compiled version of the template is which is like the mother of all: "works on my laptop" problems.

It's super easy to break text based templating because of some space, tab, string escaping or whatever.

YAML makes it worse as there are lots of gotchas and different ways of doing. JSON, being quite verbose and inflexible at least has strong structure right in your face so it's a bit easier to figure out what went wrong.

With a proper programming language data structure you can be much better with verifying that the things you add or remove or iterate over will produce a valid result, much better refactoring and working as a team independently.
CUDA is totally a moat. ROCM exists but AMD is like 100k engineering years behind NVDA just in terms of how much time NVDA had to invest into CUDA and all the ecosystem around it.

need vector search? cuVS.
and the list goes on and on and on.
The problem is that DRY principles have be cargo culted way past the point of being useful.

People see two pieces of duplicate, or even similar code in a monorepo, and they feel the urge create some sort of shared directory to de duplicate them. The problem, is this introduces more edges to your graph, which over time increases the monorepo complexity exponentially. And who is going to maintain that shared directory?

Even in a mono-repo, you should probably start off by copy and pasting code around, until you figure out how to design and find ownership for an actual well thought through public api. And maybe for some code, that never happens.

Also, like many things, people cargo cult big tech ideas without understanding why they work. In Google, the monorepo has two key features: 1) every directory has an owner by default 2) the owner can control build target visibility lists.

That means that the ownership team controls who depends on them. By default, everything is private.

Basically, every directory should either be a project, owned by a team. Or some common library code, owned by the library maintainers.

The other thing, is library maintainers need to be discerning with what APIs and code they support. Again, a common refrain I here is “when it doubt, it’s better to put it in the company’s common library to promote code reuse”. That’s the exact wrong way to think about it. Library teams should be very careful about what APIs they support because they will be on the hook maintaining them forever.

This is all to say, I can see how monorepos fail. Because people cherry-pick the ideas they like, but ignore the important things which make them work at Google: 1) default code owners 2) visibility lists that default to private 3) discerning library teams that aggressively reject code additions 4) don’t be too dry, if it can’t be exposed in a public api, just copy and paste, just like you would in a microservice.
Oh, I should only invest in companies with the biggest market caps?

People are paying for the software, which is made here in the US, and also not subject to tariffs per se. Same could be said about Apple too - you are buying the iPhone for its software, that is what you are paying for, and the software is made here in the US. The customers, the company and the country enjoy the best surpluses in these scenarios. The tariff is like a glorified tax, it's not going to change much.
Just an FYI, there is extant code called Aide[0][1] (Advanced Intrusion Detection Environment) as well that's under active development/maintenance.

Profit and expected future profit (based on growth rate) is one of the ways a (non publicly traded) company is valued.

Theoretically that's how price targets are created by analysts. So market cap is explainable through that metric.

Profit this year and no growth vs. the same profit this year and double profits next year should lead to different market caps, and it generally does.
hi, this is brilliant, thank you! I will definitely go through it soon.

I have been trying to figure something out for a while but maybe haven't quite found the right paper for it to click just yet - how would you mix this with video feedback in a real robot - do you forward predict the position and then have some means of telling if they overlap in your simulated image and reality?

I've tried grounding models like cogvlm and yolo, but often the bounding box is just barely useful to go face something, not actually reach out and pick something.

there are grasping datasets, but then I think you still have to train a new model for your given object+gripper pair - so I'm not clear where the MPC part comes in.

so I guess I'm just asking for any hints/papers that might make it easier for a beginner to grasp.

thanks :-)

You really cannot. Both from a practical point of view. Does the thing really does what _you_ want it to do? A typical OS is much too complicated to verify this (and no theorem provers just move the problem).

But also from a theoretical point of view: I give you that the source does what you want it to do (again: unrealistic). Then you still need to verify that the software deployed is the software that builds reproducibly from the source. At the end of the day you do that by getting some string of bits from some safe place and compare it to a string of bits that your software hands you. That "your software" thing can just lie!

And yes you can make that more complicated (using crypto to sign things etc.), but that just increases the complexity of the believable lie. But if your thread model is "I do not trust my phone manufacturer" than this is enough. In practice that's never the thread model though.

The comedian never said that Puerto Ricans as such were garbage - that was a fabrication of the media.

Of course he did. It's called innuendo, and everyone knew exactly what he was getting at. If you say an entire neighborhood, city or country is garbage, then you're saying that the people living there are garbage, too. There's no point pretending otherwise.

If you disagree, try walking to the other side of town, telling a few residents that "You know, nothing personal, but your whole neighborhood is big mountain of garbage", and feel free to share the results of your research with us.

Trump never said that Mexicans are rapists, etc.

What he did say was that women traveling through Central America en route to the United States were "raped at levels that nobody's ever seen before" (despite there being no evidence of this happening). Which again, amounts to exactly the same thing. Pretending otherwise is extremely naive.
Show HN: Generate video memes instantly from top TV Shows and Movies
Last year, I found myself endlessly scrolling through episode after episode, trying to find 'that perfect clip' to illustrate a meme idea.

I was frustrated because I couldn’t find the clip I needed, and it consumed countless hours of my content creation workflow. That’s why I built tgdm.ai—a website that provides instant access to a wide library of clips from your favorite TV shows and movies, creates funny and relevant meme texts using AI, and exports memes in social-media-ready formats.

What makes tgdm.ai unique is its combination of a massive video clip library with an AI meme text generator that truly understands the humor context. While the content library is currently limited, it’s growing steadily.

Give it a try, we would really appreciate your feedback!
I agree with most of what you say, but I think real solutions involve even more change to the current system. Essentially, I don't think we can keep having the system of passive income, where more and more of the wealth is owned by people who live off an investment portfolio.

Since solving the demographic crisis would have to involve some wealth redistribution, combined with new ways to support parents at the disadvantage of non-parents, it'll be fought hard by interest groups.
Biden won which makes the choice harder to criticize.

People are often elevated without merit for a multitude of reasons including nepotism which don't benefit anyone but them. Trump will have to reward his supporters as well. It is the spoils system. It isn't unique to US politics but the cronyism is a bit more in your face than usual in regular democracies. If Biden's spoils went to a more diverse looking bunch then that probably says more about the diversity of his supporters than anything about his judgement. As far as I can see the criticism is unfounded. And when the democrats criticize the lack of diversity in the next administration it is a similar thing. The spoils don't go to randoms picked from a color swatch regardless of party.
Just because it’s publicly traded doesn’t change anything.

Not sure that is the best example as many states have exceptions to allow parents to legally give their children alcohol so that scenario you devised could be completely legal.
Counting for days is not OK. To ensure fair counting you need to have poll watchers from all interested parties present during voting and counting, and it is difficult to be present over 96 hours period - people need to sleep, and they can't observe the ballots repository or counting while they sleep.

There is no reason why all ballots can't be counted it a few hours. If more people are needed to do it, then so be it.

Exactly that -- the airline was making the crew fly late at night without rest, not the crew. Also notice they mention the crew was committed to landing and not delaying the flight -- knowing post-soviet authoritarian management style, I suspect they expected a tough talk with the seniors, had they delayed the flight (a 1-2 hour delay of departure would probably exceed crew's working day and need an even bigger delay and a new crew).

Also, it's just the culture. Many Russian planes like Il-76 land on the front wheels. Why? There's an old belief that you need to fly a bit faster than in the operation manual. To avoid stalls, just in case. I guess, it's an old superstition from the military. Until the last decade, it wasn't reviewed, just perpetuated over generations of pilots.

Often, such companies demand soft touchdowns and reprimand for hard touchdowns. Combined with overspeed, this produced 2012 Red Wings crash[1] -- the plane touched down so softly, and was significantly overspeed, that interceptors and reverse thrusters didn't turn on, and the plane kept just touching the surface without braking.

All this can only be fixed by fixing the management. And that's what CRM system focuses on.

> free speech right by nazis

Although this is not a good example since there are lots of democracies where nazis, specifically, don't have free speech rights. Even possibly most democracies. Although I didn't find a list about freedom of nazi speech specifically, here's the countries where nazi symbols are banned or restricted:

And this article has a clear map of countries where holocaust denial specifically is illegal (definitely a talking point for modern day wannabe nazis):

The editor and I did discuss a sequel and I started collecting material for it, but I had changed careers by that point and no longer had the time or motivation to see it through to completion. And now I’m not sure if there’s a market for such books anymore. At least, if I were learning to read Japanese myself now, rather than buying a book of annotated readings I would choose my own texts and ask ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini about the parts I don’t understand.

My understanding from talking to people in states like Indiana and Texas, a good chunk of them don't believe in a woman's ability to lead. If the DNC really wanted to progressive then a gay man is a safer bet than a woman of color just because of how many people in this country are racist / sexist. The safest bet would have been a straight white man that's charismatic and likeable but there's nobody. Gavin Newsom wouldn't have stood a chance either.

> Why's everyone going away from declarative?

If I had to guess it's because

- more imperative background developers need to work with infrastructure and they bring over their mindset and ways of working

- infrastructure is more and more available through API's and it saves a lot of effort to dynamically iterate over cattle than declaratively deal with pets

- things like conditionals, loops and abstractions are very useful for a reason

- in essence the declarative tools are not flexible enough for many use cases or ways of working, using a programming language brings infinite flexibility

Personally I am more in the declarative camp and see the benefits of it, but there is certain amount of banging ones head against it's rigidity.
