8th grade is old enough to do just about anything. I like to do big memorable projects with my kid where we both have to learn some things along the way. I’d build a go kart at this age, or some other electric motor driven vehicle. I’d think it would span a few months depending on time dedicated. And covers mechanical, fabrication, components and even some programming if you want to tune it yourself.

Also, I like to reinforce the concept of “dreaming it up”, tell my kids to think of a thing to make and we break down the steps we think are needed to build it. At first, it’s like their imagination wasn’t big enough. They’d have an idea and I’d show them how we could build it pretty easily. Now, it’s gotten to where they know the skies the limit and anything of kind of possible so they start big and then work their way back down to a realistic scope of features. All to say, ask your kid what they want to build!

If you actually look at the full quote

> [whistleblower] stated he did not have evidence to support his suspicion of fraud, that he needed to cross a much larger threshold to prove his suspicion

is exactly saying what I was saying.

But in addition, this is hearsay, "quoted" only by Google's rep. It was never actually mentioned by the whistleblower. It has exactly 0 value. Using this quote at face value is intentionally misleading no matter which way you put it. They're literally the defendants - they're basically quoting themselves.

> Seems like the "whistleblower" didn't even have that.

Before he was fired?

Also, I find it funny that for all the talk of the crisis of reproducibility, anyone would trust for a second the authors of the paper more than the attempts done by a 3rd party (and literally done by one of the most important names of the entire floorplanning academic community, to begin with). At least the EDA community has used some benchmarks that have been often used by other papers, allowing some resemblance of a comparison, and a criticism that "these ancient benchmarks do not reflect our holy ways or whatever" is a criticism that maybe I also share; but it's a hoop that everyone who has ever published any such paper (including all the big names) has had to pass in order to be published, unless apparently if you are called Google and publish in Nature.

Nature doesn't exactly have an stellar track record ensuring Google's results are verifiable ... https://retractionwatch.com/2024/05/14/nature-earns-ire-over...

Frankly, at this point I don't even know why would anyone bother with Google's paper. It feels as if they've managed to alienate the entire floorplanning academic community, and whenever I read one of Google's "responses" I see why.
Yes. Also, the society that breeds this sort of narrative intentionally obfuscates the difference between oppressive and liberational violence. Even though the Palestinians employ violence no intellectually honest person can call the act the same as the violence perpetrated against them by the maintenance of an apartheid state. A lot of people on HN should read Fanon.
Depends on which tech you're talking about. I'm concerned about collusion between the white house and tech in ways I truly wasn't before.
Note that the 186k figure is not an estimate of deaths to date; the bulk of it is anticipated future deaths attributable to the destruction of hospitals and so forth. Lancet has also published some criticism of that correspondence - https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6... https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6... https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6...

The Gaza heath ministry's figures remain the best (and basically only) source of casualties to date. While they're no longer able to record many deaths in hospitals or morgues, they've adapted by collecting casualty reports from other sources like a Google form (which makes the data a bit iffy, but better than nothing).
It's unclear how filling reports with "random bullshit" will protect anyone from liability... It seems you're saying that the current situation is so bad that anything different would be an improvement, and less-random bs is better than outright bs.

I'm sorry if my comment came across as nitpicky; it's just that every time I try to do some actual work with LLMs (that's not pure creativity, where hallucination is a feature) it never follows prompts exactly, and goes fast off the rails. In the context of construction work, that sounded dangerous. But happy to be proved wrong.

Oxide.

This is all a pre-canned solution: just use the API like you would an off-prem cloud. Do you worry about AWS patching stuff? And how many people purchasing 'traditional' servers from Dell/HPe/Lenovo worry about patching links like the LOM?

Further, all of Oxide's stuff is on Github, so you're in better shape for old stuff, whereas if the traditional server vendors EO(S)L something firmware-wise you have no recourse.
And I would complain about the false accusation if that was the case. As it stands "antisemitism" is what's being used to label people who oppose Zionism. It's just like how "communism" was used during McCarthyism.

You simply can't buy OCP hardware is part of the issue, not new anyway. What you're going to find is "OCP Inspired" hardware that has some overlap with the full OCP specification but is almost always meant to run on 240VAC on 19in racks because nobody wants to invest the money in something that can't be bought from CDW.
You call it "looking away" (if I understand what that word means).

I think that's incredibly wrong, actually. The army is part of Israeli society in a way that is very different to bigger countries. Some of these software developers are themselves reservists going into Gaza. Certainly 100% of them personally know people who are reservists involved in the war in some way.

So I think it's much more accurate to say that the average Israeli is far more informed than the average non-Israeli about what is happening and how the army behaves.

That shouldn't mean you automatically trust whatever Israelis say. But when you personally know dozens of people who tell you what the war is like, what the situation in Gaza is like, and most of whom come down on the side of "look, it's horrible, war is horrible, but the IDF is doing its best to protect civilians and not hurt civilains, and Hamas is doing its best to put civilians in the line of fire", or statements to that effect - when you personally know many people who say that, that counts for a lot in most Israeli's eyes.

(Though I'll note, since the thread we're on is about the ICC warrant - one of the allegations is against witholding of aid, which is something that isn't specifically part of how the IDF is conducting the war.)

In theory, yes.

In practice, if you try to change the estimate, you'll be shot down and asked to work harder. The people changing the requirements assume that software is infinitely malleable and any change is doable with a small amount of effort. After all the devs are smart so they'll figure it out, like they always do. To these people, asking for a change in estimate is indistinguishable from complaining or being lazy.

Exposure is one thing that is helpful, but in the end, you have to find something that your son is so enthralled with that he wants to pursue it on his own. It begins with curiosity about something, of course, but ultimately requires him to develop the skills and then the confidence to where he wants to begin doing things on his own.

Look, I'll skip the usual founder BS.

Here's what actually happened: We gave 35 enterprise sales teams (including Ramp's AEs) an army of AI agents. Not the cute chatbot kind – the kind that does the heavy lifting of pipeline execution while your top performers focus on closing.
The results:

- 30% book growth in beta

- 225+ hours/week saved per Enterprise AE team

- Pipeline execution activities doubled

Why this matters: Enterprise leaders are doubling revenue targets for 2025. But they're not doubling headcount (shocker). Here's the thing most people miss – 90% of revenue comes from your top 15% sales reps. So we stopped trying to "fix" low performers and instead built something to turn your closers into supersoldiers.

How it works:

- Swarm of AI agents that act as your personal army of analysts

- They plan, research, engage, and track your accounts

- No more "single chatbot tries to do everything" nonsense

- Integrates with your internal data (yes, including that legacy system you hate)

Here's the controversial part: Most AI companies are trying to replace grunt work. That's cute. We're amplifying your best people instead. Because let's be honest – your top performer doesn't need help writing emails. They need help being in 10 places at once.

We launched publicly. No gatekeeper. No "get on a call with our SDR who just graduated last month."

JetBrains makes their survey data available here ( https://www.jetbrains.com/lp/devecosystem-2023/ ):

Based on my calculations from that data (extracting only the US responses, based on their entries for 'os_devenv', I get these numbers:

- Linux: 45%
- Windows: 58.9 %
- Mac: 51.2 %

That is conclusive enough for me to say that Windows is still the most common daily driver for developers in the US. I'm not one of those developers, as I don't use Windows as my primary development platform.

I suspect this may be a case where people tend to think that because most developers they know use a particular OS for development, that must be true everywhere.

I would not be surprised, for instance, to find out that the numbers of developers primarily using Macs at some big tech companies is much higher.

Going to add to the chorus here. One of the reasons these things are so successful is that it kind of kills the crave factor of eating. You don't get that feeling where you feel like you want to keep eating something addictive like pizza or fries just because it's there. It's why the packaged food companies are freaking out - all their work to engineer snacks where they can "bet you can't eat just one" is defeated by these, at least for now.
I recently bought a TV (HiSense) after a very quick bit of research about the dimensions and the fact that it had GoogleTV as the OS.

Unfortunately for me, the operating system for many TVs is region specific! Once the product appeared on Hisense's Australian page it did mention having VIDAA instead of GoogleTV, but this was after I had purchased it. I can confirm that VIDAA is quite bad, demanding agreement to several fairly ad-driven user agreements before you can use any smart features. "Enhanced Viewership Program" or something, which in the text says that VIDAA will monitor what you are watching on the screen, then use that information to display relevant ads. Yuck.

Fortunately it does switch to HDMI when you turn it on, but I've got to decide what system I get to drive that HDMI port. I wanted not to have to bother with an additional device, but that's how it is I guess.

As a bonus comment, VIDAA's kid-mode- content includes a very large number of purported TV programs - but they are actually Youtube playthroughs of video games, cut into "episodes" and presented as a "season".

I think you are correct that the US service members committed some fucked up war crimes in Iraq. But many service members faced justice in the US for those crimes. And I'm not persuaded that those crimes were widespread, relative to the scale of the military engagement.

Your statement seems to imply that the Iraq War was unusually bad in terms of war crimes. If so, you should be able to give several examples of 21st century conflicts which you're confident had fewer war crimes committed per capita. Can you do so?

The way I see it, there are two rough hypotheses here:

Hypothesis 1: The US is an unusually evil country which has a harmful effect on world affairs. Its actions in Iraq exemplify this. The recent trend towards US isolationism is good, since isolationism will diminish its pernicious effects on world affairs.

Hypothesis 2: War crimes and violations of the laws of war are ubiquitous in conflict. The international treaties prohibiting them were well-intentioned but largely fruitless. The psychology of war drives soldiers to commit war crimes, and/or the incentives to commit war crimes are too strong. The US has a free press, and has systems in place to prosecute service members who commit war crimes, so you hear more about war crimes committed by the US than by other countries. But the per capita rate of the US committing war crimes may actually be lower than average.

What evidence is available that lets us differentiate between these hypotheses?
It's outlined in their previous post on the Rope/SumTree data structure they use, which this article links to: https://zed.dev/blog/zed-decoded-rope-sumtree.
It's abstraction. Your not supposed to care that the setter is doing anything. The class is providing you an interface -- what it does with that interface is not your concern. I hate to quote Alan Kay but all objects should just respond to messages. Whether that message corresponds to a method or a property is pure semantics.

I sometimes use getters and setters to provide backwards compatibility. What was just maybe a simple data field a decade ago doesn't even exist anymore because some major system has changed and we aren't rewriting every single application when we can provide the values that they need easily enough.

If you know that setters exist then you already know that the code can do more. It's not a huge mental leap from property setting to method calls. You should never assume anything is infallible. I don't think classes should even expose raw fields.

> Abortion opponents view it as killing an innocent person. So that's unethical regardless of whether it's legal.

So it doesn't matter that a very small percentage of the world's population believes life begins at conception, it's still unethical? Or is everything unethical that anyone thinks is unethical across the board, regardless of the other factors? Since some vegans believe eating honey is unethical, does that mean it's unethical for everybody, or would it only be unethical if it was illegal?

In autocracies where all newly married couples were legally compelled to allow the local lord to rape the bride before they consummated the marriage, avoiding that would be unethical?

Were the sit-in protest of the American civil rights era unethical? They were illegal.

Was it unethical to hide people from the Nazis when they were search for people to exterminate? It was against the law.

Was apartheid ethical? It was the law.

Was slavery ethical? It was the law.

Were the jim crow laws ethical?

I have to say, I just fundamentally don't understand your faith in the infallibility of humanity's leaders and governing structures. Do I think it's generally a good idea to follow the law? Of course. But there are so very many laws that are clearly unethical. I think your conflating legal correctness with mores with core foundational ethics is rather strange.
