> But it is amusing how many accounts there are out there saying F-35 is useless and the U.S. should stop building them, while China, South Korea, Japan, India, and others are all working on building or are building its equivalent.

The comment you reply to literally says that the Sukhoi 57 is useless and that the F53 is useful in certain situations.

It must feel very powerful to argue in bad faith and maintain upvotes just because the opinions align with the U.S. state department views. And you can do it from you own account because you know there is no penalty.
Solving CO2 output by reducing power usage never made any sense. Anyone with a zoomed out view on human history and technology trajectories would have had an intuition that our energy needs will continue to grow on an exponential curve indefinitely.

And before anyone says it can't grow forever, it's unsustainable, etc... you're not thinking big enough. Just google kardashev scales.

If your point is that "they used to say x, now they say y", my rebuttal is that 1) the exact same person/people? 2) it's common for people to be mistaken and then learn something new, and change their opinion. It might not happen in the middle of an internet argument, but it does happen, a lot.

That can't happen, the 1st amendment protects us from that sort of overreach with lots of precedence coming before it. What can happen is severe penalties for companies and adults who allow minors to get on social media. That is the sort of regulation that can happen if the USA Congress really wants to do something. They can also regulate foreign propaganda sneaking like with TikTok, there is precedence for it. Also severe penalties and jailtime for threats (terrorism, personal) done online, they should be taken seriously and tracked down and prosecuted as if the threat was made against me if I was standing on a street corner.
> There was nothing on vine that was addicting

Well that sounds like a selling point to me.
Speaking without knowing something also doesn't make you an idiot. (If that was the rule the entire planet is nothing but idiots.)

The general issue is that people don't realize when they don't know something correctly, and it's impossible to vet every single thing you hear.

You can call him an idiot if he was corrected, and despite evidence he refuses to change his position. Has he done that?
When my car broke down in the middle of a DoorDash run, I walked to a nearby park and sat next to a homeless guy who was about my age. He was deaf; we talked via text on our phones about how we'd ended up on the same bench, and I shared some of my food. I learned from him how resilient someone can be, even under incredibly unfair circumstances, but more importantly, he got something to eat.

It's not all about you.
Hmm, I don't know about Ambien, but I didn't hear that REM is the best kind of sleep. On the contrary, REM sleep is the sleep level just below being awake, while what you really need is deep sleep, and when you're in really deep sleep, you're not dreaming.
As someone who is actually friends with Brad Pitt on Facebook and have given him money, it’s because he wants to know that he’s still a normal person. He wants to connect with real people. He’s tired of the Hollywood world. And he also says he lost lots of his money in the fires. And Jennifer Anniston took all his money. But he’s also too ashamed to let others know. He only trusts that information to a real person not tied to Hollywood.
> Writing a serious piece to an audience that is already there to seek out opinions from that individual

I certainly didn't seek out his opinion on culture war topics. The actual nuanced take would be: A business writer with no political knowledge decides to weigh in on politics in a clearly performative way.

Ther irony hurts, you claim calling others a Nazi for associating and supporting Nazis is wrong, but I'm also actually the Nazi for saying it? What happened to free speech?
They are scared of Google docs and they make it harder to use Office? That doesn't make much sense to me.
It's not about data privacy - it's about social control. I don't know why it's always lost on every commentary that the TikTok ban became a widely bipartisan issue after October 7th.

TikTok was the only large social media platform that did not overtly deplatform Palestinian users and sympathizers.
What are you comparing this to? Do you have positive examples? This seems to be a general dependancy management issue unrelated to rust—the reason C++ has this is that C++ also lacks any concept of dependencies, so people kind of just make do with modifying what packages are already integrated into the build process. This certainly doesn't imply you should trust boost (or the standard library, or whatever people use this decade, or xz, or whatever).
And don't get me started on DotNet Framework vs Core vs Standard.

That's an absurd belief and any system of education that results in that level of ignorance in science has failed.

Nuclear power isn't substitute/alternative for cheap gas as inputs/feedstock for German industry. German industrial model depended on cheap RU gas more than it does on nuclear power. Whoever took away that cheap gas (and it was unlikely to be RU), made that industrial / economic model unworkable. Germany has better industrial prospects re-exploiting its 150 years of coal reserves + RU natural gas than all the clean nuclear energy in the world.

I'll let you in on a secret. I did own a GameBoy while in elementary school. I did bring it to school a few times against my parent's wishes. When teachers saw me playing with it, it was confiscated and held at the front office only to be released at the end of the day. After a few times of that happening the confiscation also resulted in a parental phone call.

The same went with cell phones. I had a cell phone in high school. If it was being used during a class or even chirped a single sound it would be confiscated to be released at the end of the day at the front office. They were not to be used during school time.
Just think about all e-waste that this will generate.
Do you think that ByteDance is primarily concerned with the economic considerations for TikTok, or do you think that it is something else?

Do you think that there is a price at which they would be willing to sell it?
US citizens most definitely want this.
it's not really a questionable decision though. in the absence of morals, which is what we have in a capitalist society, the way to maximize the success of a corporation is to remove low performers and replace them with high performers. that's common sense. criticizing a company for doing this because it "destroys people" is misplaced anger, as you should be criticizing the system the company operates in, which again, is a whole other discussion
Yes, the xi repo is discontinued. They recommend the lapce editor as the spiritual successor:

Show HN: UiForm – Never write a parser again, make any file LLM-ready
Hey HN! UiForm is a document processing SDK that (1) makes any file LLM-ready, eliminating the need to write custom parsers for each format, and (2) improves structured data extraction through built-in Chain-of-Thought prompting (repo: https://github.com/UiForm/uiform, site: uiform.com).

We’ve been analyzing shipping documents with LLMs for over a year with Cube. While building, we faced two major challenges in document analysis: First, each client had different document formats (PDFs, Excel sheets, emails) requiring custom parsers. Second, getting consistent, structured outputs from LLMs was a constant struggle - small prompt changes would lead to unpredictable results. After months of building parsers and refining prompts, we realized everyone working with LLMs faces these same challenges, so we built UiForm as an open solution that handles both the document processing and prompt engineering pieces in one cohesive system.

Today:

1. We’re launching uiform (free for all!), an API that pre-processes any file (e.g. excel, email, …) for use with LLMs. We built it to be compatible with Pydantic, JSON schemas, and most LLM providers.

2. We're open sourcing a prompt engineering framework that combines JSON schema validation with Chain-of-Thought reasoning to ensure reliable structured outputs

Prompt engineering is managed directly within the JSON schema using three additional directives:

- X-SystemPrompt

- X-FieldPrompt enhances the standard field description to decorrelate prompt engineering and schema specification

- X-ReasoningPrompt creates an auxiliary reasoning field that gives the LLM more time to think, to perform better when dealing with complex data.

Since o1, everybody's been talking about CoT and inference time compute. We found that using reasoning fields with structured generation improves performance on document analysis tasks.

We’d love to see document analysis be more community driven, with people sharing their JSON-schemas for different use-cases, which is why we open-sourced our prompt-engineering utility :)

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts, we’ll be in the comments or on discord (https://discord.com/invite/vc5tWRPqag). Thanks!

It’s less desperate than you think. Windows 11 is 4 years old, so this is just pushing the straggling organizations into an overdue upgrade.

Office and Windows have been a decreasing proportion of Microsoft’s revenue for years. The real money is coming from cloud services in its many forms. Microsoft may not be #1, but they are clearly in a strong position with good growth. Specifically Microsoft is great at onboarding mid sized businesses onto Azure/Teams and then building a big enough moat to keep churn low.

Look at their growth numbers and you’ll see their business is in a strong position. Their cloud position is entrenched. Windows, Office, and Bing are all just bells and whistles to attract people to their real offerings (Teams, Azure, other subscriptions)

> by definition

My mum never punched me in my face, followed me around the playground trying to put dog shit in my backpack, steal my books and piss on them or make rumours about me to ensure I was ostracised by the other children. All the while the adults were helpless and continually told me to be a man- and worse, the adults leaning in on it being my problem. A true hopeless feeling.

You will never know how much I can despise you for your presumption that my home-life could possibly be correlated with my school life.

“by definition”. Honestly, go fuck yourself.
US alternatives don't feel too good either.

We need a neutral social media society that plays fair. Maybe a company HQed in Switzerland or something offering full privacy and full ad protection seems to be an opportunity.
Most of them bend to your will very easily if you are the one writing the HTML and not trying to use an existing template/theme. Even Jekyll the "themes" are optional and you can entirely ignore them.

Also most of the complexity disappears if you aren't trying to make a blog. They generally all have "simple pages" support that is much simpler than trying to figure out their blog mechanics.

Of course the hard part is picking an SSG you like, and it is easier to just build your own which is a big part of why SSG proliferation happens. Too many options? Make a new one.

My main sites are still in Jekyll for now, for historic reasons of GitHub Pages support.

My latest discovery and new love in this space is Lume [0]. It's definitely on the simpler side of the scale. I haven't tried it for a full blog yet, but the simple website I have built with it has indeed continued to feel simple throughout the process and even using some of the features Lume's documentation labels "Advanced".

> Are there any other countries that use a local-tax funding model for public schools?

Doubt it. In my province of Canada (Alberta), school is paid for by provincial taxes and money is distributed based on the amount of students.

That being said, since kids are assigned to schools based on proximity, it's still worthwhile being in a nicer neighbourhood since the kids will come from more affluent families...
That Conference 2025 – Canceled
I agree that their example is absurd, but China has definitely used social media accounts to influence opinions on Hong Kong, Xinjiang etc. American social media companies cooperate with investigations and flagging of this propaganda. On the other hand, TikTok is almost certainly being pressured by the CCP to promote it and obfuscate any investigations.

Each additional dependency imposes an ongoing audit burden on the downstream consumers of your project.

In an era supply chain compromises are increasing and the consequences are catastrophic, the security story alters the traditional balance of "roll your own" versus "use the shared library".
People could do that. Or they can click "new doc" in Docs, start typing, then copy the URL and send it to a friend. Look at that, they published a page, no problem solving necessary. Thus people, no matter their ability, will probably default to that approach.

I don't think it's a value judgement to say one thing is easier than another and hence people will. Choose the easier thing.

If we want more folks to use and build websites, it needs to be Google-Docs level easy, otherwise people will use Google Docs.
That would be reasonable. What's not reasonable is claiming that millions of perfectly good computers that still perform great must be thrown out and replaced.

That's flat out not ok, end of conversation. This is not the 90s where a computer was obsolete in 6 months anymore.

Apple also deprecates hardware with new OS versions, but they don't do it to millions simultaneously. Additionally, they don't turn their entire previous OS into nagware about upgrading every time they release a new version.

Those are dyed, but they don't depend on the dye for nutrition or taste. Wasabi isn't less delicious if it's a lighter or different hue.
Is there any reasonable definition of "social network" that includes TikTok, but doesn't include YouTube Shorts?
It's the same protocol and code implementing it just proxied over SSH instead of a local pipe or unix socket pair. It's a real world issue unless you trust the remote rsync process and the connection with your local user. So basically only SSH between your single-user desktop and same single-user laptop is unimpacted.
I respect your speculation and I think that by studying with the full data we can get closer to a real answer, rather than everyone throwing their hands up and saying "there's nothing we can do!"

If all we get from RFK Jr. is releasing of all the data that the FDA and CDC have, that is a win for society. Autism is a huge problem and no one is talking about it. The autistic kids from the 90s and 2000s are still being supported by their parents, but what's going to happen in another 20 years when their parents are dead? Will we have millions of autistic homeless people on the streets? It's going to be overwhelming and we need to fully study this. One in 34 kids in the US have autism, what are we going to do in 50-60 years?

Yeah but "little red book" (xiaohongshu) in mandarin is not actually how the original Mao Little Red Book is called in Mandarin, either formally or informally. Informally in mandarin it's called hongbaoshu (literally "red cover book" and formally, as you can imagine, is like Quotes from Chairman Mao).

So this is a case of translators with an agenda translating two phrases with different original mandarin renditions (hongbaoshu and xiaohongshu), and picking and choosing the style of translation (base on usage vs based on character) to get the English translation to merge both of them as "Little Red Book".

TBF this has nothing to do with dependency complexity and everything to do with semantic complexity. You could easily do this without using any dependencies at all.

Until 2020, most TikTok videos were 15 seconds or so. They only switched to 30 seconds and later 1min+ after gaining huge traction. I guess 7 seconds is pretty short, but it the algorithm that was pretty simple.
> are they any worse for those citizens than what China's own government could do to those citizens?

Yes. It's riskier for the FBI to fuck around with an American than it is for the CIA to fuck around with someone in Russia or China. Particularly when we're dealing with extorting someone using embarassing, but not necessarily criminal, information.

Or just, you know, sowing chaos. Again, if the CIA had a list of Chinese citizens who may be mentally unstable and are obsessing over e.g. the Uyghurs, could that not be put to use in a way that's harmful to China and that person?

Your risk of being fucked with by either Beijing or D.C. is incredibly low. ("Fucked with" meaning being harassed for legal behaviour.) Given the existence of such a database, however, the chances of fuckery at the population level is almost 100%. What President wouldn't want a call they could make that would tumble a foreign adversary into chaos for a few days?
They still talk efficiency on one end of the mouth. Now people are buying macbooks with what 24 cores to check email on a website for work. All because that macbook now trains models in the background for reasons that clearly help this average user and their average use case. I will say as an owner of one of these macbooks that I appreciate finally having a computer with a full workday of battery life. But still. 24 cores to run the same sort of workflow that was established 25 years ago. 2025 word still does exactly what word 98 did. Same email. Same excel. Same editors and IDEs. But of course an order of magnitude more resources squandered to do so. And we tell ourselves that we need such powerful laptops because probably 1% of users actually insist on pushing this laptop to its limits instead of just buying an unsexy desktop or renting server. When really we could have all gotten by still with the dual core macbooks I expect for most peoples use cases. I had one of those last 12 years myself before an unfortunate water spill.
