Abstract: The principle of Indigenous sovereignty acknowledges the liberal imperative of state authority, and yet simultaneously transforms it. Fundamental principles of sovereignty embedded in Westphalian ideas of state and nation-state are counterpoised against in other rationalities—including concepts of cultural rights, human security and more localized sovereignties. Canada’s experience in laying claim to both the internal waters of the Canadian Northwest Passage, and its more recent claim to the extended continental shelf in the Arctic Ocean, are a case in point. In both of these cases Indigenous sovereignty challenges the right of the Canadian state to make such claims with- out the explicit permission of Inuit peoples. Yet, gaining such permission supports conventional sovereign claims much the way is conventionally associated with the Peace of Westphalia, even if history was more complicated and less immediate in its compliance with what became conflated over time with Westphalian ideals. Meanwhile, land claims treaties in Canada’s Arctic along with new understandings of climate change and human security support a reassessment of sovereignty in practice, and an expansion from the Westphalian ideal to a post-Westphalian synthesis of Indigenous and state sovereignties. Can we still call such arrangements “liberal”, and is decolonization consistent with- in a framework of liberal views of state sovereignty? The Inuit experience at the nexus of Indigenous and state sovereignty suggests we can indeed, and that Canada’s evolving conception of sovereignty re-introduces tribal sovereignty as a pillar of the new, post-Westphalian order. While
similar processes are under way across the Indigenous world, whether in the Far North or Global South, the experience in Arctic North America sheds important light on
the evolution of sovereignty in both theory and practice as
Indigenous values and conceptions are increasingly recognized and embraced by the sovereign states that emerged in
their homelands through colonial state expansion.

Not necessarily. There’s huge demand to simplify the integration process between frontier models and consumers. If specs like this wind up saving companies weeks or months of developer time, then the MCP-compatible models are going to win over the more complex alternatives. This unlocks value for the community, and therefore the AI companies

In fairness to the fly.io folks (who are extremely serious hackers), they’re standing up a whole cloud provider and they’ve priced it attractively and they’re much customer-friendlier than most alternatives.

I don’t envy the difficulty of doing this, but I’m quite confident they’ll iron the bugs out.

I think I live in the real world and your statement is not true for any of the projects I've been involved in. Kubernetes is absolutely used to solve real technical problems that would otherwise require a lot of work to solve. I would say as a rule it's not a webapp in a slow interpreted language that's hosted in k8s. It truly is about decoupling from the need to manage machines and operating systems at a lower level and being able to scale seamlessly.

I'm really not following on the impedance mismatch from what you're actually trying to do. Where is that impedance mismatch? Let's take a simple example, Elastic Search and the k8s operator. You can edit a single line in your yaml and grow your cluster. That takes care of resources, storage, network etc. Can you do this manually with Elastic running on bare metal or in containers or in VM? Absolutely, it's a nightmare, non-replicable, process that will take you days. You don't need elastic search, or you never need to scale it, fine. You can run it on a single machine and lose all your data if that machine dies - fine.
I see twitter as sort of frustration thing, like hyperloop.

With hyperloop - he was frustrated by the way high speed rail was being handled in california, and hyperloop came into being as his cost + engineering sort of optimization. But with hyperloop he wasn't forced to buy it.

With twitter he just got in too deep and had to buy it.

(though I probably don't know enough about the details of twitter and could be wrong)

It's an internal project based on Rust, not a product. So I don't think it matters too much what they name it. It's opens source which is great, but still not a product that they need to market.
The data is not necessarily "streamed" in! That's a significant design feature to allow parallel uploads of a single object using many parts ("blocks"). See: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/API_CreateMu...
They do perfectly well, as the newer models use an A15 bionic processor which is the same chip as the iPhone 13. My Apple TV stays on 24/7, with a screensaver in the background, and heat is never an issue. And they were designed to be kept in media cabinets which are enclosed spaces without much ventilation.
I believe it was on YouTube that it was shown watching some videos on traditionally masculine activites (cars, football…) would quite quickly lead you into a misogynistic rabbit hole.
> wire fraud is literally named after reaching across jurisdictions to commit crimes via telegraph wire

The minor error here is that wire fraud isn't literally named after crossing jurisdictions; there's nothing stopping a wire from having both its endpoints in the same state.

The major error is that while you're correct that wire fraud has to cross jurisdictions because of certain legal boondoggles, it isn't a crime in any of the jurisdictions it crosses. Only in the ur-jurisdiction superior to both of them.

I've met some excellent bootcamp devs and I've met some absolutely horrendous 4 year college CS grads.

It also highly depends on which bootcamp you hire from as some do do push on CS fundamentals using Javascript as the language to teach.

The top bootcamps filters out a lot of unserious, low quality candidates for you already. In addition, it's not a 3 month learning experience. It's 3-6 months of prep work, 3 months of actual bootcamp, and then likely months of practicing leetcode for interviews. It can take a year.
YMMV.

At least for me since the compensation tripled, the salary effectively doubled post-tax.

Given that the BLS puts the median programmer at 99k/yr [1] I think your salary will double if you go to the bay area.

Never forget that China somewhat strictly controls what comes out of the country innterns of media and footage. Much contending out of there is paid for. You can see this in influencers who very awkwardly point the camera away from homeless people when they come into frame briefly. And also the plethora of videos by influencers "going out looking for homeless people" and not finding any.
This nit pick is peak HN obstinacy.

How do you know your code is going to work in production before you got there? You wrote tests.
There was a great deal of interest in gossip protocols, eventual consistency, and such at Amazon in the mid oughts. So much so that they hired a certain Cornell professor along with the better part of his grad students to build out those technologies.
Wow, in that case he's done more to advance Moore's law than almost anybody.
It's certainly a powerful idea, but I wonder how well it translates to users that don't even know what a browser is, let alone understand what it means for that to be "acting as their agent".
As someone who is at management level, for most dev roles, give me someone intelligent with a really good attitude over a dev who is full of himself but highly technical.
It used to be the only way to use Gemini on iOS until very recently. That was the primary reason I originally installed it.

Other than that, I believe "Google Lens" (i.e. picture search) was also exclusive to that app on iOS at least for some time.

I didn't say "just write better code", I said write more tests. Writing those tests will produce better code.

I also never said unit tests were the ONLY tests.

I spent quite a while interviewing and looking for opportunities before I got one in July, which let me duck out right before the ugly three rounds of layoffs since August. The wild thing is the swing back and forth -- GM stood up a huge software organization in Tel Aviv, Israel only a few years ago (somewhere around 2018) which had responsibility for many devops projects, the UltraCruise software that was announced, but never made onto a program, all after GM acquired Cruise the autonomy company. That entire development actually caused a huge braindrain out of GM and the Detroit area of roboticists, computer vision experts, etc. When that didn't work out, long after the company should have pulled the plug, they hired Mike Abbott from Apple, who brought in many other Apple people, all to... surprise pull the plug on CarPlay. That group took about 2 years to gut the Tel Aviv office and many jobs in Detroit, as well as Phoenix and Austin (IT hubs for the company) and start a whole new incredibly expensive office in Mountain View, where they're paying about triple for the same role as was being done in Detroit or Austin or Tel Aviv. In the process, the company managed to alienate many of the best performers and lose anyone who could get out, while missing on several major deliverables, like the stop-ship and massive updates to the Blazer EV after the Ars Technica article on it. Hilariously, that entire open source ecosystem that debuted on the Blazer EV is no longer really internally prioritized, since the first layoff in August lost all of the FOSS maintainers employed at the company and most of the software architects responsible for its integration into future generation vehicles. Honestly, couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of guys...
Apple should not get to dictate what is and isn't harmful to me. That power does not belong with an OS or hardware vendor.
What I'm seeing is that instead of making a product for the sake of making a product, like it feels like a ton of startups are doing, you tried to make something people want. By the way, congratulations!
This works by text substitution, I imagine that you could get similar or better gains using zstd custom dictionaries.
When was GM ever not a "soulless and dishonest company"? I certainly don't remember any "soul" in their cars in the last 50 years, just a bunch of really terrible cars, though admittedly they're better now than they were in the 70s-90s.

Your question is a bit like someone asking "so what does the garbage collector actually do? Does it X or Y? What impact does it have?"

And the answer is: no need to care about it. Unless you need to really optimize for high performance (not necessary in 99% of the cases, otherwise you'd use a different language from the beginning anyways).

> Also, the original strong need for immutable data in the first place is safety under concurrency and parallelism?

One of the reasons is that you really can just completely stop thinking about it. Just like you can stop thinking of (de)allocations. Except for some edge-cases when performance matters a lot.
I suspect Redis is going to pull in the various popular Redis libraries under their umbrella and make them incompatible with Valkey. It seems like a defensive move against Valkey.

If I was in charge of any of these libraries, I would replace any mention of Redis with Valkey and move on.
What exactly does flyio.net do?
I tried Fly early. I was very excited about this service, but I've never had a worse hosting experience. So I left. Coincidentally I tried it again a few days ago. Surely things must be better. Nope. Auth issues in the CLI, frustrations deploying a Docker app to a Fly machine. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
Arguably the context menu is generally understood to be (at least partially) browser- or OS-supplied, compared to things that look like hyperlinks.
Slightly related, I'm concerned seeing average folks saying "hygiene hypothesis" and acting like their immune system needs to be calibrated to avoid allergies/autoimmune disorder by chance exposure to real pathogens.

While our immune systems need some natural tuning to keep them sane, there's no evidence that comes from combat, but rather from benign or commensal "old friends" [0] we co-evolved with. (Some of which pre-fill niches to exclude bacteria that are less friendly.)

In other words, there's a right (and wrong) kind of "dirty."

Well we don't truly know. A full analysis of the best prebiotic chemistry hypotheses can't fit in an HN thread so if you want your questions answered you should consider studying organic chemistry, biochemistry, and then going to chemistry grad school.

Suffice it to say all of the best models are reasonably plausible, and like everything in chemistry operates on the principle of chance molecular motions.
America, you don't know who your homeless people are.

I'm a Forest Service camp host. Homeless people are common guests there. They greatly differ from the popular image of the homeless as destitute, dirty, criminal, and living is appalling hovels. Most of them are clean and well-behaved. They just don't have a place to live. Some are on Social Security, some on pensions, and some work.

The image of the homeless American presented in this article is so striking that most of us miss how common homelessness is among people like you and me.
But the text itself is not someone else's work verbatim.

A translation tool like DeepL is presumably trained on a huge amount of 'other people's work'. Is copying its result verbatim into your own work also plagiarism then?

To expand on the other reply, some related things:

1. don't do console I/O in leaf functions. Instead, pass a parameter that's a "sink" for output, and let the caller decide what do with it. This helps a lot when converting a command line program to a gui program. It also makes it practical to unit test the function

2. don't allocate storage in a leaf function if the result is to be returned. Try to have storage allocated and free'd in the same function. It's a lot easier to keep track of it that way. Another use of sinks, output ranges, etc.

3. separate functions that do a read-only gathering of data, from functions that mutate the data

Give these a try. I bet you'll like the results!
I've looked into this before and unfortunately it is quite difficult to get good sound isolation and the answer is basically no. The really effective stuff is mass vinyl and as the name suggests it is quite heavy (and expensive). There are even some tents that musicians sometimes use for a few people to play together in a noisy environment that are hundreds of pounds without even being large enough for a bed. As I understand it, the mass is necessary for the best sound dampening. Also, once you get non-trivial sound dampening the way you let air in tends to be the easiest way for sound to get in. Even the heaviest cloth curtains would mostly help with any echos in your room rather than the initial sound itself. Maybe in some circumstances even minimal sound reduction would be helpful but you may also do a bunch of work and find it ends up making no difference.

Noise generators seem like the better way to start if you aren't using one already. I haven't tried many options but from the reviews I've seen fans are the best at this. In my experience ceiling fans do help quite a bit and there are some bedside noise generators that are fans but enclosed to limit the external air movement if the noise happens in colder weather. There are also some with speakers that play recorded fan noise, although beware of ones where the sample loops too quickly (I'm not sure what the best option to use your own recording would be). Unfortunately even getting to the point where you don't wake up (at least not enough to notice) may not fully remove the impact but it would still help quite a bit.

Many of them were extremely strong supporters of Ho Chi Minh (they used to call him the Vietnamese George Washington), the Viet Cong and — yes — even Mao. Mao’s ‘little red book’ was a popular accessory for anti-war protesters of the time.

I'm not exactly a scholar on the Vietnam war, but I don't think it was about what Vietnam "represented". Communism had already been spreading with incredible ease, helped by the USSR's investments, and we were afraid of it spreading more, as it's a detriment to capitalism's global profit extraction scheme. There was a very real and very big risk to our bottom line with the whole communism fight. If Ukraine falls, Russia gets a whole bunch of agriculture exports, but other than that what do we lose? Sure it sets a bad precedent for global tensions and all, but the US isn't at risk of losing as much as we (thought) we would with the Vietnam fight.
