Nothing new here - just PR spinning. Tech companies have always been deeply embedded with the military industrial complex, they just used to be quieter about it.

JEDI ($10B AWS/Pentagon), Project Maven (Google/DOD), Microsoft's AR headsets ($21.9B)... these aren't ancient history. The only difference now is they're bragging about it instead of trying to bury the press releases on holiday weekends.

Companies aren't suddenly "embracing military tech" - they're just dropping the "don't be evil" pretense. The revolving door between Silicon Valley and the Pentagon never stopped spinning, we're just seeing it operate in broad daylight now.

The article treats this as some dramatic shift, but it's really just marketing departments pivoting from "we make the world a better place" to "yes, we do defense contracts, deal with it." The underlying relationships haven't changed - just the messaging.
I'm a heavy use of tmux integration in iterm2. this allows seamless mouse scroll in a tmux window. I haven't seen any other terminals that provide the same tmux support.
Isn't this what Tiktok is in China? It mostly promotes educational and science content.

That seems to be thing now: get some deployed mass out there. And at this point it seems that each new city is still a significant investment (well within Waymo but still).

I'm still puzzled on why Waymo insists on not having any remote driving or any remote advising cars on where/how to get themselves out of a situation. Yes that would cost a little more - but this is early stages so it's just a little more money at this point (lol) - in exchange for avoiding embarassing PR bullshit about cars self-honking at each other or rides stuck in infinite hesitation loop or not knowing what to do when there is a traffic cone on the hood. I haven't seen any convincing arguments for not having that. Anyone heard a legitimately good tech or liability reason? I doubt I would have missed it but...
push it too far and inflation goes up though. It's "the dosage makes the poison". Then, printing even more money leads to hyperinflation, etc, etc

Country of origin is what I said: "Tesla, who make the majority of their own parts here in the US."

And is the relevant measure, as all auto manufacturers employ job shops for various parts.

I don't care if Tesla or Honda manufactured a part in a building under their logo. I care that they invested in US infrastructure and paid US citizens to build the car I drive. That's what country of origin measures.

Heaven forbid we have to fight another war and all the factories and skilled tradespeople are in Mexico or Canada.
That's a question that only you can answer. We have no idea what your average terminal activity involves.

(I can't remember why I switched. It must have been 10 years ago now, maybe more, and I've stuck with iTerm2 ever since (even though it annoys me with a new beta update practically every time I launch it). It could have been nothing fancier than the vertical window split. But there was definitely something that persuaded me to change!)

EDIT: this did get me wondering, and I noticed two things it does have that it looks like Terminal still doesn't: configurable mouse selection word boundary chars, and implicit copy-to-clipboard on selection. As an inveterate mouse selector, I wonder if it was these. I might well actually have the word boundary chars still set to the default ("/-+\~_." is what I've got), but I do use the click-to-copy a lot.

I really wish more tutorial makers would do the "teach one thing". Like I dabble in gamedev, and most people who create content for it generate 45 minute to many hour long tutorials that are end to end, instead of teaching "this is how you deal with navigation" "this is how you handle movement" etc. Means people who want to learn stuff are stuck interacting with a massive block of stuff which makes extricating out the part they need and planting it in their own project wildly harder.
Hey everyone. It's 2025 and I wanted to try a job market experiment. A bit of a reverse of the usual "Who's Hiring" on HN. Perhaps no one will read this. But perhaps it might be interesting to some...

The link points to my resume and cover letter online, with my skills and background. The cover letter is for DOGE, which I had applied for in November. From it you can gather a lot of information about me, including how to reach me.

If you're looking a "very experienced" person to urgently fill a position and haven't found them, reach out to me by email or comment below and in this coming week I will make sure to get in touch with each and every one who does.

And if you know someone who needs to hire a consultant, interim CTO, head of engineering, chief architect, full stack developer, or "just get things to where they should be" guy, point them here.

My background
=============

I have spent the last decade working on two startups that I founded, taking them from 0 to millions of users in 100 countries, with no marketing. I've had to wear many hats:

chief architect, etc.
full stack developer, web, mobile, etc.
team leader, manager, product manager
sales, support, interfacing with clients
raising money, interfacing with investors

I've ended up hiring, training and leading two different teams in building two different open-source platforms (https://github.com/Qbix and https://github.com/Intercoin), using which I can now quickly put together products that would normally require a team and 6 months. If needed, I can bring my teammates along as well. I'm also currently building AI agents to further automate a lot of the work I do so I can help more people.

Why am I doing this?
====================

Now that I've completed my journey and built what I needed, I am curious about the tech job market in 2025. It's changed a lot from a decade ago, and now AI and "100x developers" are becoming the new normal. This might look ridiculous, and after all it's just an experiment, but I commit to trying to help whoever reaches out to me the best way I can.

This is a format a bit like those "bachelor/ette of the day" posts on Facebook in dating groups, which I have never done. I fully expect I will get criticized by some in the comments below for attempting this. But I would like to "put myself out there" and see what happens.
William Storr writes about this. His stance is humans are hard wired for status within their social group. The problem is when all your status eggs in one basket and it disappears, it’s not good for your mental health. He advocates for having your identity spread across many different pursuits and disparate social groups, although he admits he’s not very good at doing that himself.
I think your parent comment used "expect" to mean "predict" rather than "demand"?
The problem is that any solution so far proposed for this is very privacy-unfriendly.

For example, Google proposed https://github.com/explainers-by-googlers/Web-Environment-In... and this was shot down by privacy advocates (for very good reasons).

So basically the choice for website operators is either to fight the bots and accept that their service will be unusable for some subset of their users or not fight the bots, which will lead to their service becoming unusable for everyone.

More and more, you see services pushing you very hard towards using their app and the reason is that with the app, they are able to actually verify that you are likely not a bot (or rather, in reality, that at least the app is running on an actual physical device, mobile phone bot farms are unfortunately also a thing).

As for Cloudflare - they offer it as a service, so when the website operator has a choice between using them or allocating several engineers for bot-fighting, why would they not just go with Cloudflare? Doing it yourself can be slightly higher fidelity, as you know your customers better, but it is also a lot of effort which could be better spent elsewhere.
The existence of these workarounds allow Microsoft to achieve their goals. It doesn't behoove them to tighten the screws completely, because they still get to capture the vast majority who do what they're told to. And after enough years of acceptance of surveillance creep, the Overton window will have shifted enough that subverting these controls will be perceived by normies as suspicious behavior.
I'm not convinced you're making a point. Physical skills are also something of a rarity. Not as rare as technical administration, but manual labouring tasks are demanding and not for everyone. There are a lot of unfit, old, young or weak people who I wouldn't want to see hauling dirt because they aren't up to the challenge and wouldn't do a good job. Similarly there are a lot of clueless individuals who I would not want setting up -arr demons professionally.
I put some of my larger thoughts on my substack if anyone is curious: https://jshutler.substack.com/p/beyond-dashboards-a-software...
As someone who has not been successful in life but who is relatively intelligent do you have any recommendations as to how I can get my life on track?

I am asking because you said you like developing people. My persistent experience in life for almost 20 years post college has been nobody wants to develop me.

I am not in tech but I am generally interested in the area if it can lead me to greater independence and more interesting work.

I like jobs that are intellectually engaging and ideally somewhat physically active.

Right now I am working in a mechanical role.

Sometimes I like the work but more often than not I find that good problem solving ability is not valued and the pay is dismal vs. what people earn in tech.

I have a BA in economics but unfortunately have never used it. 37 years old.

this is blantantly false. you cannot sell this many “bad” cars to start with. people can say whatever they want about elon politically or otherwise but the cars themselves are fucking awesome. and not only that, the supercharger network takes all the anxiety of owning ANY OTHER EV completely out of the equation. my wife has a non-Tesla EV and every longer trip basically is a project where she needs to prepare for where she will stop, what she will do if there are 11 cars waiting there (happened before)… I drive a 2014 Tesla S and the last thing on my mind (even with a battery which is now at like 90%) is where I will charge the car. would not take rivian if someone gave it to me for free and same with hyundai. even luxury-side EVs (Audi eTron, BMW i7…) can’t hold water to Tesla (and number of cars sold tells a simple story…)
Well this is an instance of writing to a file, so the JS equivalent would be calling .write on a file stream. Not exactly comparable, it wasn't literally a debug print() that someone had forgotten to delete but a log file that was enabled when verbose logging was enabled.

The GPL and copyright are both about controlling what other people do with something you made. The MIT, or BSD license, or some other very permissive license that doesn't set down restrictions are arguably different from copyright. But the GPL isn't the opposite of copyright. It's just has different terms of use.
No, absolutely not the commons.

If you want a mental metaphor of what the vast body of GPL'ed code is, think of a very, very large multinational corporation.

If you want to use their code, you have to join the company. Fortunately for you, all you have to do to join the company is to agree to use the same license for you own code as the company already does. If you agree to that, you are free to use any or all of the code "owned" by the company.

However, if you do not agree to the company's terms - i.e. you wish to use a different license - then you are not a part of the company and have no legal right to use any of the company's code. You may of course continue with your own software, but you cannot benefit from the amassed resource that is the company's own code (though of course reading it is allowed).
relatable.
The challenges are configurable by cloudflare’s customers. The challenge can either be from turnstile, which is a captcha replacement service that websites use on their own pages, or a cloudflare CDN security setting that will block access to pages until a challenge is passed. It is not clear which one the original poster means.

Cloudflare’s customers can largely disable these and rely on other means of detecting bots.

In the case of turnstile, it has three modes, two of which are entirely automatic and work by interrogating the web browser, with the other requiring a client:

https://developers.cloudflare.com/turnstile/concepts/widget/

Cloudflare CDN’s security setting on its free tier also has an essentially off setting that will basically eliminate challenges when browsers accessing pages protected by cloudflare unless there are exceptional circumstances. I believe it can be fully turned off for the enterprise tier.

Whenever I configure cloudflare for a website, I always turn off challenges since they are annoying to users. There is an interesting write up about how cloudflare’s bot detection works here:

https://blog.capmonster.cloud/en/blog/web-scraping1/how-clou...

Note that I have yet to use turnstile, so I am speaking from documentation I read rather than from actual experience with it. I have used cloudflare’s CDN and I am speaking from experience with it.

Anyway, the website author is the one that should be blamed here.
We’re talking about a stupid gamification and notoriety metric. I won’t be losing sleep over “human nature” failing to honor it.
Which washing machine did you get? I researched them a bit last year when I needed to buy one (for the first time in my life) and my takeaway was basically that all the "premium" models are crap now too, except perhaps for a few quasi-commercial models (Speed Queen comes up a lot) that are probably more reliable and repairable but also loud and rough on clothing.
A non-citizen living in Germany without the German eID because they’re not a citizen. Their country of origin doesn’t have any of that. I guess they don’t exist in that setup? Seems like a steep hill to climb on to solve some random login with captcha problem.

Binding login interaction to some government issued id…who’s entitled here.

Sounds like throwing a baby out with the bathwater.
You mean the RF circuitry has to continue working in the frequency of the current network and switch frequencies to scan for other networks in all bands simultabeously? I don't think consumer hardware is capable of that. It usually will send probes or listen passively for some time in a band before moving to the next one sequentially. It's an expensive operation.
You can do this with SSH alone.

I suspect this occurred to me multiple times over the last few years. I would seem to have ads on YouTube specifically related to vocal conversations I had with coworkers or family members, and far enough outside of my interests where the ads raised suspicion.

I was considering performing experiments to test if this was the case, but never got around to it. I wanted to be certain it wasn’t an instance of the Baader–Meinhof phenomenon.

More to the point, this is an incredible breach of privacy. The amounts noted in the article are pathetically small for such an intrusion, especially over the period of 10 years for impacted users.
I got tired of weird sketchy seeming behavior in iterm2 (it'd hang randomly when accidentally sending binary streams to stdout; it'd take forever if I asked it to search my many tb of buffer, etc). I switched to xquartz and xterm, which was fine; I had to retrain my fingers back to whatever they'd been trained to do in 1998, but they got there.

But probably that's terrible advice for 99.8% of people out there, probably more like 99.998, or even more 9s.
Isn't it sad?
And if you are more interested, you can go and life in a country in which this non sense has been applied, like Zimbabue, Venezuela or Argentina.

You take the richest and most prosperous countries on Earth and you make it miserable beyond recognition.

I'm currently an MS EECS student and a Graduate Student Researcher at UC Merced. My academic focus and hands-on experience are in machine learning, deep learning, and computer vision. I focus on optimizing Deep Learning model performance.

Professionally I have ~3 years of exp as a Backend Software Dev developing payment processing pipelines and integrated them with third-party payment settlement systems (HKICL, BPay to name a few).

I am looking for opportunities as an ML/DL engineer or Backend SWE once I graduate (May 2025).
Good. Musk has aligned himself with a number of people that have designs on forcing Europe’s hand to abandon Ukraine and make a strong return to Russian gas and Saudi oil. Russia and the oil rich Middle East have no desire to see an energy independent Europe powered by renewables and long term battery storage.

He could be busy further developing battery technology to further enable decarbonization and energy decentralization based on renewables.

Having founded an EV company, you’d think that would be a core value he would hold, however everything he currently signals speak to the opposite.

I cannot fathom why on earth he now seems to be working against himself, and alienating his core customer base, who were most likely to buy EV’s — green, liberal, “woke”, left leaning consumers.

I didn’t have DOGE on this bingo card (though Mt Everest certainly was).

It now sounds even more like a hobby club for Silicon Valley ultra-rich who have no interest to learn anything about how government works. Once they finish their beautiful “reinvented from first principles” decks of PDFs and Keynotes, they won’t get a second look from the elected politicians whose support they absolutely need to deliver any of this.

Or, as the meme would say, “men will literally pretend to singlehandedly save America from decades of deficits rather than go to therapy.”
The average consumer doesn't understand that their car gets less range over time after use.

right, the average consumer never owned anything which runs on a battery before and those rare folk that might have owned like a cellphone surely think that cars have MAGIC batteries which unlike every other battery they have ever owned is going to be rock n roll for decades

There's a mini-renaissance going on with new terminal tools, like tmux, neovim (which has an ecosystem of plugins itself), htop, and many more (https://github.com/rothgar/awesome-tuis). They take greater advantage of 24-bit color, "nerd" fonts (that have icons for glyphs), some graphics capability, and so on.

I used Terminal for many years, too, but switched to iTerm2 a little over a year ago as I wanted to learn neovim.
