No, of actual corrupt behavior. Plenty of us would get fired from our jobs for less. Much of what’s happened would get lower justices disciplined, because there are ethics rules with teeth for them.

Do you read Alito’s rebuttal you linked as an actual rebuttal of the events? It reads as a “yeah, sure, but it’s fine, trust me” to me.
Oh I'm glad that I'm not the only one who has gotten lost in the sauce by asking LLMs to recursively synthesize from data towards some grand insights--we want to see results when there is none apparent. What you end up getting is some bizarre theories overfit on the data with zero causal relationships. LLMs are fundamentally pattern matching systems and they will find "connections" between any two domains if prompted. It just reeks of confirmation bias; researchers looking for connections between art and science will find them.

The simpler explanation makes more sense: knowledge graphs naturally show certain structural properties, and these properties appear across domains due to basic mathematical constraints, common organizational principles, and human cognitive patterns reflected in data. Sure, LLMs trained on human knowledge can identify these patterns, generate plausible narratives, and create appealing connections - but this doesn't necessarily indicate novel scientific insights, predictive power, or practical utility.

If you find yourself going down a rabbit hole like this (and trust me, we've all been there), my advice is to ask "is there a simpler explanation that I'm missing?" Then start from square one: specific testable hypotheses, rigorous controls, clear success metrics, practical demonstrations, and independent validation. And maybe add a "complexity budget" - if your explanation requires three layers of recursive AI analysis to make sense, you're probably way too deep in the sauce.
They were stating a technical reality for those that have less of an understanding of how the internet works. The target audience is more than…you.
Well fuck it. If someone breaks an arm, and needs some time off, maybe we can have an inquisition on them too. They do have two arms after all. They can probably still get their work done with just one. What about people taking sick leave? I mean, you aren't dying, you can still flip open your laptop and type. No reason to be staying home for that. Better quiz them and see how sick they really were. Not vomiting up blood? Probably just slacking.

What do you even need vacation time for? Why don't you just work 7 days a week. It's just typing on a keyboard. You still have 4 hours a day of free time. Oh, your mental health might suffer if you work 7 days a week? Maybe don't be such a pussy, they're paying you the big bucks after all.

I guess mental health disorders are less valid somehow. Even though all we do all day is mental work, sitting on a computer and typing. Must have something to do with the fact that you can't see it.

It just gets tiring filling out forms, explaining shit over and over to people, and telling clueless HR people and execs my whole personal life that they won't even understand anyways. It's fucked up. My doctor wrote me a diagnosis, go fuck yourself if you want any more information. There is nothing more the employer needs to know.
Show HN: Email marketing as code (open source Customer.io alternative)
After getting frustrated with Customer.io's limitations, I built an open-source alternative that lets you write marketing automation in pure code. Define user segments in SQL, write email flows in TypeScript, and template emails in React+Tailwind.

Support for campaigns, segments, events, users, and transactions. SMS support planned.
There is a feature called "Dim Flashing Lights" available on iOS, and the algorithm with multiple implementations is on Github : https://github.com/apple/VideoFlashingReduction
> Is it "childish antics" for the Guardian to have their own political viewpoint?

When a journal is biased... it is biased.

Objectivism is one thing. Bias is another. Bias at the US elections shit is just another level.
It seems to be something of an urban legend that the original Pokemon seizure clip was subsequently rebroadcasted by Japanese news stations in the immediate aftermath of the first broadcast, thus increasing the number of impacted viewers. I can't find any source backing that claim, though, in the Wikipedia article.
It's difficult to tell because the tweet doesn't link to the original, screenshotting it instead. But the explanation is probably that these are two different meanings of the term "two-tier policing".
I don't have a problem with Musk supporting one candidate or the other. But I do have a problem with Musk apparently tweaking the algorithm to specifically promote one candidate and to bombard me with political content that skews a certain way even when I selected other interests or never used the platform to engage in political discourse. This while bellowing about X being a platform for free and open speech.

I realize that in this epoch we are living in the only rule is that money and power gives you the right to do as you please. This may be old school but I think that values, honesty and ethics matter too and should guide our behaviors in life and in business. Kudos to the Guardian for taking a stand even if it costs them a few dollars.

Better examples would've been for example if Coca Cola had a title:

"We reduced plastic waste by 75%".

and then Reuters had another one

"Coca Cola claims to have reduced plastic waste by 75%, but it's misleading and accurate only according to this single flawed metric".

Then I would trust Reuters more, but headings and contents matter.
> X users will still be able to share our articles, and the nature of live news reporting means we will still occasionally embed content from X within our article pages.

I wonder if that'll turn out to be true. There's no reason Musk has to let them, and I could see him just blocking links from The Guardian in retaliation.

For the record, I don't support temper tantrums on either side, and it feels like this is a very politely stated temper tantrum. But, I also think everyone should get off Twitter. Maybe what I don't like is just that everybody should have gotten off Twitter many years ago, because it's bad for journalism and the human brain in general, and not suddenly pretend to realize it's a bad place now that it's coincidentally less popular, and there's less incentive to hold your nose and stay. Seems hypocritical.
Musk is stress testing his service's features /s
Most sane people left the platform several years ago.
It is open source: https://github.com/twitter/communitynotes
Uber Eats in the USA, yes, it's more hands off in terms of gig workers. In the UK and Germany and many other countries though, there have been many court rulings to essentially ban gig-working and enforce employee protections.
It’s childish antics to attack a media platform for taking a political position, when they also openly and covertly took a political position. It just happened to be the opposite political position.
RTO is nothing to do with efficiency. It's about suppressing wages.

People who quit over RTO are cheaper than severance. You then distribute their work to the remaining employees who work harder for the same money. Layoffs and departures help keep wages down because the employees there are in fear of losing their job.

If disabled employees are more likely to quit because of RTO, that's a win for Amazon because those people are harder to fire or layoff, being a protected class.

The tides have shifted in tech. It's no longer a seller's market. Now that it's a buyer's (employer's) market, you're seeing the true colors of these companies. You are a cost. They will do everything to pay you less and/or get you to work more. To extract more profits.

Nobody should be surprised by this.
PowerVR supported in hardware something called "infinite planes", wonder if its connected. Afaik no game, program or API ever used it.
Yeah, I always wished so badly I knew an adult who was a skilled programmer. I borrowed books from the library but I would always hit a wall so early on, not being able to make sense of the concepts (and being on a Mac, which none of the books provided a compiler for). Looking back I know for a fact I could have grasped the concepts if they were explained a little more "gradually" for me, which a mentor-type person absolutely could have done easily.
> When a journal is biased... it is biased.

I would like to know which newspaper or journal is not biased.
What's next, checking that Releases match the code on Github?
Antics refers to the passiveaggressiveness.

It remains to be seen what will happen if Trump goes back to posting on twitter
This is a giant liability issue for any company.

If you want the raw version, I'm sure it's out there...
It all boils down to trust. Management don’t trust the developers to do the right thing because they outsourced development to the lowest bidder. They futilely compensate for this by spending a mere $500/mo for a WAF.

MBA thinking at its finest…
I'm genuinely super curious because I hear this a lot, but the deepest I ever got was... 5 apps? Do you have some kind of like generic cover letter/resume you fire off 3 times a day? What is your process?

I knew something was off with "big.SMALL" and it's because it's really "big.LITTLE" (though not used very much nowadays as a moniker, it was prominent around a decade ago when it was being introduced into the market).
Actual instances of disability accommodation at work being abused aren't exactly rampant.

Part of which is that people face lots of stigma around disabilities still, but also the need to have some historical and diagnoses paperwork is a barrier that I suspect lots of people don't want to go through.

Frankly, I don't believe its rampant to begin with, and I can't find any real evidence that supports that people are widely abusing these accommodation requests.
zero trust
Long overdue. There is no good reason for any jounalists, honest organizations ... or people ... to use twitter.com (you can call it "X" ... but it's still twitter.com).
Just to be clear, an ellipse is a quadratic curve. Ellipses are not elliptic curves. (They are still curves, though, as long as you restrict to plugging in real numbers, not complex.) The terminology is unfortunate.
The traditional news in their assessments on why the Democrats lost and Trump won seem to be focusing on platforms and sites. They think the content of a message and where the message appears is more important than the messaging or how a message is conveyed.

The guardian will no longer post to twitter but they will keep on harvesting news from it and about it.

On average every 3 days someone submits to HN an article against Elon Musk written by The Guardian. I imagine there are more articles written than are submitted. Musk and Twitter provide a huge amount of material for them.

Past year HN submissions (111):

So CO2 is magical here or would a reservoir of highly pressurized atmosphere be just as valuable? I think you are missing where the value is in this situation.
> That's a big if.

That's a tiny "if". Were you to ask me to write a science fiction story where the premise was that they were indeed impossible, I'd struggle to come up with ideas why that might be the case. In principle it must remain true, even if the "self-replicating probe" were gigantic human colony ships, and humans were some kind of component of the scheme. And if humans are sufficient components to make that work, why not something simpler than a big drooling man-monkey?

It's not that they're impossible. I don't think we'd need even another 200 years to do it. I just don't think we have the time. We're on a fast course to extinction, and by the time most people realize that this is so, the last chance to avert it will be 30 or 40 years in the rear-view.
Musk claims he is trying to be an open and free speech town square. I don’t have an opinion on whether he did this or not but it is certainly the case that if he put his finger on the scales that goes against his claims.
I agree, and this comes with the responsibility of being a "publisher" rather than a "carrier".
I guess you could make a spam site that didn’t have affiliate links, advertisements, or marketing text… but why bother with the spam?
FWIW I teach upper level courses.

I see LLMs as almost sufficiently advanced compilers. You could say the same thing about gcc or even standard libraries. "Why back in my day we wrote our own hash maps while walking uphill both ways! Kids these days just import a lib and they don't learn anything!"

They are still learning, just at a higher level of abstraction.
Open office floor plans are sufficient evidence that "data driven" is bullshit when it comes to management, corporate aesthetics, and cost saving. Obviously there's no data to back RTO.
Show HN: ToolJet 3.0 – open-source internal tool and workflow builder
I’m excited to share ToolJet 3.0, a major update to our open-core low-code platform for building internal tools. This release is all about speed, scalability, and better support for complex use cases.

Backstory

When I first launched ToolJet (https://github.com/ToolJet/ToolJet) here on HN (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27421408](https://news.... 2021, it started as a tool for building frontends connected to data sources via a secure backend proxy, with integrations like Google Sheets. The initial post hit #1 on HN, bringing in a wave of early adopters and helping us secure seed funding.

Since then, ToolJet has grown significantly. We added a visual workflow builder, a no-code database on PostgreSQL, and expanded integrations. But as the platform evolved, the codebase became heavier, and performance issues emerged. ToolJet 3.0 is a complete refactor focused on fixing these problems and delivering a faster, more reliable experience.

What’s New in ToolJet 3.0

Here’s what we’ve built for this release:

•10x Faster Load Times: We refactored the core architecture, resulting in much faster performance, especially for complex apps.
•Enhanced Workflow Automation: The visual builder now handles complex workflows with better execution speed and reliability.
•Upgraded No-Code Database: Built on PostgreSQL, our database now scales better and supports more data types.
•Expanded Integrations: Added Salesforce, Supabase, Databricks, AWS Textract, OpenAI, Pinecone, and others based on user feedback.
•Security and Access Control: New features like LDAP, SAML, Git sync, and OIDC group sync provide enterprise-level access control.
•More Self-Hosting Options: We’ve expanded support for different platforms, making it easier to deploy ToolJet in your own environment.
•UI and UX Improvements: Redesigned form components, added a Kanban board, and made several enhancements based on user feedback.
•ToolJet Copilot: An AI-powered assistant for query writing and debugging, aimed at making development faster and more intuitive.
•Community Growth: Our GitHub repo has surpassed 32,000 stars with contributions from over 600 developers.

Why It Matters

With 3.0, we’re doubling down on our vision of a fast, flexible, and extensible platform that balances the power of an open-core model with the needs of modern development teams. This release addresses the stability and scalability issues that came with rapid growth, making ToolJet ready for complex internal tools.
Also the heuristic used to collapse file diffs makes it so that the most important change in a PR often can't be seen or ctrl-f'd without clicking first.
That's bullshit and just shows you have no clue what you're talking about. Regular people who don't live in some rich people's bubble can't even get a PCP without waiting weeks or months. And fuck off if you need to see a specialist with anything, there's another 3 months. Not to mention mental health specialists won't write you shit if you don't have an established relationship with them.
Endorsements for political candidates are done via the editorial boards which are different from the newsrooms. The editorial boards of news organizations have always had opinions and publish them as such. There is nothing problematic with this approach.
Governments don’t make things. They sign the contracts and pay the money for other people - non-governmental people - to make things.
Maybe this isn't something you believe, but actual adults can have different opinions and then choose not to associate with one another. There's nothing childish about that.

Help me understand, though: what are you actually proposing? That The Guardian, while feeling they can't get their own message out given how Musk runs Twitter, should stay on Twitter? Should anyone disadvantaged by how Twitter is run stay there?
In this case there is a negation missing. If a line intersects three points we have A+B+C=0. To get the group law you have to negate a point.

That's a very biased view of the reality.

There are lows and highs, but in the long term - stock price roughly follow (or anticipate sometimes) the underlying business.

GameStop is a totally unsignificant, albeit very publicized, stock. Btw, it was nosediving not because some Wall Street bro had decided to bet against but ... because it has become a really shitty business. It sill is.

If you take all companies in the S&P 500, with some irrationnal exceptions (hey Tesla...), you will find that most prices x nb shares available, correlate very closely with the underlying company's profit and revenues.
For the sake of an argument lets say wind and solar are free. What are we supposed to do when they are not available? How much is stability worth?
surely after 20 years this already exists , someone posted a header the other day that makes c syntax python like , macros are enough to accomplish what youre describing? i dont perceive it as efficient to force codebase contributors to relearn their ingrained language syntax , possibly more efficient for those having newly learned a language tho ...
See my other comment on this very thing.

I suspect strongly that the people worrying about it being abused outnumber the actual instances of it being abused. I don't think there is rampant unchecked fraud.
It only seems reasonable until this thinking eventually gets you to the point where the next platform you choose to leave is called Earth. It's pretty dumb because there is nothing like X at the moment. Just for context, the Guardian had almost 11 million followers on X and Bluesky has only just crossed 15 million total users, of which many signed up months ago when it was opened to the public and never logged back in since again.
For me it's not about the content. What would take a psychological toll is knowing I'm supporting the orange idiot's #1 fluffer.
Earth should have been eaten by them billions of years ago.
X refers to the company itself, not every user. And by extension naturally it should refer to the algorithms developed by the company.
They said that their content can still be shared there.

Also that community note just says they have been consistently saying the same thing for decades which sounds okay to me.
Right, and you're completely deluded about what this study is saying.
> That's a big if.

Is it? Since humans can send probes, and reproduce ourselves, technology and civilization, it proves that a slower self-replicating bio-mechanical system has this capability and now we're left debating if a faster more compact system is possible, which doesn't seem like a leap?
As I said further up, governments don’t make things: they get other people to make things for them.

“Not made by any government” is not a lie when you’re a lawyer.
Or the community notes are not actually the reason.
one thing missed is intellij can cross-complete over several domains, like correctly showing tables in a sql statement in a java string in your project, if you also have the database added, etc.

ive never seen any vim-with-plugins setup come close to this
Unless you can spin an alternate universe, some complex-dynamic things like corporate culture can't be data driven.

A classic example is this
https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2018/12/10/the-friendship...

How will you design an experiment that would create a world where Jeff Dean WFH just solved the problem and 'completed his Task' and Google was just a search engine with a $10B market cap due to scaling issues or a huge operations cost.

Today Google is $2.5T marketcap and you can bet a significant portion of it came from the work culture created in the office.

No amount of Social Science can ever capture the tail events that has massive upside like tech companies.

Even if 180,000 employees are unhappy, but the 20 who are happy create the next Amazon revolution can change the trajectory of Amazon that can't be measurable

Edit : Butthurt HNers downvoting a perfectly logical argument. Then they expect leaders to listen to them
At this point, Amazon doesn't care about bad press. I wouldn't be surprised to see a headline that they kill puppies.

Nor do they care about their labor in the slightest. Amazon has earned their reputation as a bottom of the barrel meatgrinder for people looking to work at a larger tech company.
An editor is the least interesting thing to learn in computer engineering. If you enjoy wasting your time may I suggest something like stamp collecting that doesn't create billions of dollars of lost productivity for the rest of us?

Stackoverflow/stack exchange was a proto-LLM. Basically the same thing but 1-2 day latency for replies.

In 20 years we'll be able to tell this in a stereotypically old geezer way: "You kids have it easy, back in my day we had to wait for an actual human to reply to our daft questions.. and sometimes nobody would bother at all!"
The platform which Dylan was originally designed for, the Newton had no C to begin with.

There were two teams fighting for delivering the OS, one using Dylan, other using C++, eventually the C++ team won the internal politics, even though the Dylan one was relatively ahead.

Newton was programmed in NewtonScript, prototype based OOP.

Eventually the SDK allowed for C++ native extensions, and on the later version of the OS, before Newton was killed, there was already a basic JIT in place.
> There is nothing problematic with this approach.

A. You assume the editorial board does not have a significant influence over the newsrooms. By endorsing a candidate, they demonstrate which direction the pressure on the newsroom is coming from.

B. This was not why freedom of the press was granted. I was not arguing whether it is a good or bad thing now; merely that this was directly opposed to the role envisioned for them.
OP, the link you provided keeps redirecting me to the Google Play store to install the SoundCloud app, no matter what browser I use to open it. Could you please create a link which stays on the SoundCloud website? Not everyone wants to use apps on mobile just because some service wants to force you to use them.
They're allowed to use whatever tools they want. But they have to meet higher standards in my classroom because more is going to be expected of them when they graduate. What would be unfair is if I don't prepare them for the expectations they're going to have to meet.
Yes, there is a korean team. The Japanese team is, no exaggeration, 10x larger.

And if you think that’s preposterous you don’t know the least of it. For example, the designers in the company decided to boycott meetings.
> real estate agents who exclusively represent the landlord’s interests wouldn’t be able to seek a fee from the person signing the lease.

I'm curious if this will be creatively interpreted so that the broker is mandatory but supposedly represents the interests of both LL and tenant, so the tenant has to pay anyway.
