Even the German Bundeswehr withdrew from Twitter because of Musk's endorsement of the far-right extremist AfD. The people who need to be made aware of this aren't the people who are remaining on there (which are people who either already are critical of Musk but are stubborn or can't leave for other reasons, and Musk fans).
To not repeat other's (Python) mistakes ;-)
I know someone who has got a O1 visa to do freelance work, via an employer that has turned out to be dodgy. This employer is giving her mixed messages, on the one hand claiming to have cancelled her visa because she wasn't available for work exactly when the employer needed, on the other saying they haven't really cancelled the visa and she can carry on working for them. She now wonders whether her O-1 entry was during the 60-day grace period after it had been cancelled and thereby unlawful. She doesn't know whether she can legally continue to work because she cannot trust this employer. Compounding this is the fact that she's been engaged to an American for a while and is pregnant. She's now worried about having unwittingly done an illegal entry, and about being seen to have worked illegally, and how that would affect her adjustment of status. I know little of this but I suggested 2 things - (1) collect evidence of the games this employer is playing with you, and ask them to say in writing they haven't cancelled your visa, as proof that you entered the US in good faith and are not knowingly working illegally, (2) possibly contact USCIS directly to check whether the visa is still valid. Any comment on her situation and what she might do?
I believe that historically, the primary group of people who are "not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States" are diplomatic personnel from other countries. Those people actually are not subject to U.S. jurisdiction.
We also outsourced our social media. That has to change - it's literally not safe.

There is a lot of witless verbiage about the "town square", but precious little acknowledgement of the obvious fact that every town has its OWN square, and that's the point.

For the last decade my feeds have been polluted by "content" about Brexit and Trump, almost all of which has been noise/distraction/propaganda. I'm sick to the back teeth of it, and it's time to make it stop.
Whats going on with the special snowflakes trying to get attention? First the WordPress-guy, now this one. Maybe we should all acknowledge that we are much less important than we would like to. And thats OK.
Designing for the web ought to mean making HTML and CSS (2019)
It's not unthinkable, but in practise there's usually strong pressure in play: sunk cost fallacy, children to support, the threat of social ostracism. This is mostly true for wives rather than husbands because of female socialisation (this is sadly where gender actually becomes relevant!).

As the author himself says:
"It turns out that I like women so much I’d like to be one of them"

That's not how sex works. I like women a lot too: liking them a lot doesn't mean you want to be one, that's called autogynephilia and can be treated with talking therapy.

However if it's a true expression of his attitudes and preferences then perhaps if his wife decided to masculinise her appearance e.g. injecting testosterone to deeper her voice, cause male-associated health growth, have elective surgical interventions like a double mastectomy, he wouldn't receive it as well as his wife seems to have. That's definitely speculation on my part of course!

To answer your original question about how it's supposed to be meant: it won't matter one jot what any investors he once met may think or not think about his lifestyle choices if he's trying to impose a fantasy on his wife.
Not shipping until May or so.
and js, not this ts garbage
Employability anxiety triggered by technology deprecation (real or perceived) is universal. Think e.g., of the large pool of C++ programmers that feel the stress of "memory safety" and Rust. But framework fatigue seems to be an issue affecting the javascript ecosystem disproportionally hard.
I’ve always been in favor of censoring based on facts. It’s just a shame that one side of the political divide is a lot more prone to… completely ignore the truth. That means it looks like you’re censoring their speech, when what you are really censoring is nonsense.
Funny how tech thought leaders always praise disruption, and suddenly it is not fine when they are the ones disrupted.

Bypassing labor laws, banking regulations, copyright? All right! Making a fuss when they are talking? Uncivil, not OK, who do you think you are!
Can't beat yourself up for not getting a salary commensurate with an entirely different economy and strict visa rules. That's just torturing yourself.
LOL NO: https://nypost.com/2025/01/20/us-news/adl-says-elon-musks-aw...
Yes, whats is your point?
As someone who has worked in academia for more than 20 years, in four countries, (and now is a professor in a top 3 world institution) I can tell you that it very much depends on where you work. Working conditions depend on the larger and smaller culture. It is a mistake to assume that everyone is living the same experience.
I'm not sure if I'm more disappointed in you acting like "rest of the world" means europe only, or by you thinking europe is a unified identical blob. My country of france neither delegated its defense to the US nor its energy to Russia, for exemple.
i only meant that "optimized/eliminated tail call" is more useful terminology than an uneliminated tail call not counting as "a tail call". i find this distinction useful when discussing clojure, for instance, where you have to explicitly trampoline recursive tail calls and there is a difference between an eliminated tail call and a call in tail position which is eligible for TCO

i'm not sure how commonly tail calls are eliminated in other forthlikes at the ~runtime level since you can just do it at call time when you really need it by dropping from the return stack, but i find it nice to be able to not just pop the stack doing things naively. basically since exit is itself a threaded word you can simply¹ check if the current instruction precedes a call to exit and drop a return address

in case it's helpful this is the relevant bit from mine (which started off as a toy 64-bit port of jonesforth):

.macro STEP
lodsq
jmp *(%rax)
.endm

INTERPRET:
mov (%rsi), %rcx
mov $EXIT, %rdx
lea 8(%rbp), %rbx
cmp %rcx, %rdx # tail call?
cmovz (%rbp), %rsi # if so, we
cmovz %rbx, %rbp # can reuse
RPUSH %rsi # ret stack
add $8, %rax
mov %rax, %rsi
STEP

¹ provided you're willing to point the footguns over at the return stack manipulation side of things instead
Not at all, you're paying for a bunch of other differences on the X1, none of which the core one has, hence why its more comparable to the p1s but priced as if its comparable to the x1c. The spec sheets don't lie, it's a p1s competitor.
Since each person has their own taste, I suggest to browse IFDB's recommendations (https://ifdb.org/search?searchbar=played%3Ano+willplay%3Ano+...) and choosing something that piques your interest.

Personally I found Violet excellent as first-time adventure. The puzzles are hard but fair, and no mapping is involved.
Allowing protests to escalate to disruptions is equivalent to allowing protests to censor anyone they don’t like.
Tesla was asked to complete a comprehensive review to ensure its data compliance. Tesla did it and has been cleared for such data security issue, that is how Tesla sold 670k units in China in 2024.

DJI drones have been operated & tested by numerous US agencies for ages, yet it is still a national security threat. how convenient!
Related: there are few things in this world I capital H hate with a murderous rage quite so thoroughly as a smug 23 year old blithely declaring individuals who've been mastering entire tech ecosystems longer than they've been alive "don't want to learn". Correction, children: we get sick of learning bullshit subsets of things we already know merely to satisfy the current marketing cycle among technological semi-literates.
Users looked into this and it's not what is happening: "That would be a reasonable explanation for the auto-follows. Unfortunately that's not the case. People are being automatically added as followers on brand new pages of the president, the vice president and the first lady. If you try to unfollow, Facebook makes you follow them again. The only way around it is to block the pages."
Does that mean I'm supposed to interpret "... oh wait..." as "it would be very easy for them to deprecate a feature because they have lots of sufficiently major releases"? Because it comes across as implying they wouldn't be able to do it.

I really don't understand what GP's point was.
What are you claiming? That The Guardian doctored the video?
Common Era, a secular alternative to BC and AD.

BCE is "before the common era", and CE is "common era".

I suppose it kind of grandfathers in BC and AD, but I always find it funny that it happens to centre the birth of Jesus anyway.
He did it, repeatedly, and clearly.

Pls stop trying to sane-wash his actions.
When people get cross, it's most likely because it's the same old hype cycle in action that has been cycling for the past 40 years:

1. New Thing gets traction, 2. New Thing gets hailed as Next New Thing, 3. Everyone jumps on board and New Thing is The Only Thing you should be using, 4. New Thing Fatigue sets in as various things about New Thing aren't so great after all, 5. Everyone moves on to Next New Thing because maybe that really is the Next New Thing.

Rinse and repeat.

For those who have been in the game for as long as me (I'm not a proper dev but 30 years "doing web stuff" makes me an interested onlooker), it's a fairly tedious cycle to watch come and go over many iterations. It's one of the reasons I try and stick with boring old PHP + HTML + CSS + a sprinkling of JS for the stuff I do.

YMMV but the point is, it's everso tedious and unsettling to those involved trying to figure out what the next thing to focus on should be.
Interestingly, Meta’s other property, Instagram, used the opposite approach. The old @potus account was renamed to @potus46archive with @potus being treated as effectively a fresh start.

The IG approach seems like the right one IMO — odd there wasn’t consistency there.
What is there to downplay? This is why engagement hunters on Twitter/X.com made a side by side comparison of "Democrats doing Nazi salute" over the years, and there are like 10 pictures there doing the same exact thing. It would be as bizarre to say those people were supporting NAZI Germany, too.
Honestly it's past time we recognized a lot of open source orgs and participants have an adulting problem
I largely agree with this post except for the reference to "juvenoia". Case in point: the new US administration doesn't contain a lot of terribly young people, but they have also thoroughly lost the respect for complexity. All those "deep state" bureaucrats who at best don't seem to do anything useful and at worst dare to contradict you? Fire them all!
xAI did/does the same, but Grok is nowhere near as good. Perhaps a measure of talent is required to "copy" as well as DeepSeek.
Uh no, you can watch the video for yourself. Mush clearly made 2 back to back nazi salutes: Forcefully and unambiguously
I understand this is not an "official" Wikipedia list, but article in a community newspaper about Wikipedia. Yet, the notes about the list items are much more opinionated than I'd like or expect to see from Wikipedia authors.
Reddit is unusable
The Web pages of college and health care providers are usually limited by the back-end in my experience, but modern Web apps can be the worst of both worlds — ClickUp, for example, is both very slow to load and sluggish once loaded. I've found myself using form submission again instead of XHR as a way to protest the tides.
With the exception of poor pay, I experienced all of those things while working as a software dev for a major company. And with the exception of irrelevant papers, a friend of mine went through all of those at a startup she joined after her PhD.

I am doing a postdoc now - the pay sucks (still good compared to non-tech salaries) but I like what I do, I can choose my own tools, and I'm not longer contractually obligated to put my name in papers I don't like.

The instability of the postdoc life sucks if and when you want to have a family, but it can also be very rewarding.
> More than 40% of postdoctoral researchers leave academia

Why is that construed as a negative? Isn't it great that they are finding jobs and applying their disciplines in the industry?
Show HN: Power Growth Campaigns from Your BI Dashboards
Hello HN! I'm Hoshang, Co-founder of Airbook.

We're a team of former data and ops leaders who often struggled with a fragmented analytics landscape—various specialized tools for data pipelines, SQL explorers, BI dashboards, and ad-hoc automation scripts.

These tools, tailored for distinct skill sets, unfortunately failed to integrate effectively, leaving valuable insights isolated within dashboards and disconnected from the operational tools teams use daily to act on these insights.

That’s why we created Airbook. Our platform is as intuitive as 'Notion' but fully equipped to handle everything from data ingestion and BI to activation.

It’s designed to break down silos and bring all your data workflows into a single, cohesive environment.

We're inviting 20 tech startups (typically Series A+ or >$100K MRR) to join our no-risk, 2-week pilot.

We'll set everything up and demonstrate how Airbook can streamline your data operations.

Ideal for:

- Heads of Data or Ops (RevOps, BizOps etc) in growing tech startups.

This is perfect if you’re:

- Looking to set up your first data stack or consolidate multiple tools into one platform.

- Keen on building cross-functional insights across tools like GA, HubSpot, SFDC, PostgreSQL, and Snowflake—whether you code or not.

- Aiming to automate customer segments or engage audiences more effectively with tools like CustomerIO, Clay, HubSpot and more

If this resonates, let’s chat!

We’re happy to have a 15-minute call to discuss your needs and see if we’re a good fit.

Here's my Calendly link - https://calendly.com/meet-airbook/interview-with-airbook

Your feedback would mean a lot! Thanks in advance!
His main objection seems to stem from the fact that Jack Dorsey's net worth is $5.6 billion.

> Meanwhile research is cracking along

I mean, research didn't end after the last six or so AI bubbles collapsed, either; this pattern goes back to the 1960s. The bubble referenced is the financial/economic bubble which currently exists around AI. I think saying it's bursting is probably _slightly_ premature, but "people refuse to pay for the Big New Thing, we must force it upon them" _is_ usually a sign that the end is nigh.
Am I the only one that feels in the view of trying to lower power usage this app barely works anymore? The amount of times I've missed critical emails then I plug my phone which wasn't anywhere near red battery in at midnight and suddenly Mail kicked in to fetch 20 or so emails including important ones from 12 hours ago.

This is using just standard email via IMAP not Google or whatever.

Basics across the board on modern iOS are nowhere near what we had a few years ago.
Drew is just ridicolous. Dorsey is the least of our problems.

I'll be even there this year. But not interested in this event
I think pretty much the same, to the point where I've committed to save every sentence seen in Duolingo to make then my own Anki deck. I wouldn't bother going back again to Duolingo if I already finished the tree and there are no new units for me.
It's going to be really interesting to see how organizations, relying on funding and/or support from the government, will twist themselves to deny what is fairly evident in plain sight hoping to avoid retaliation in general. I'm not sure what Elon was doing/intending to do but the resemblance is uncanny. And he did it twice, just to make sure. The first time, I was like eh, could go either way, he's made unique and enthusiastic gestures in public before before. The second one was more troubling. Certainly the kind of thing that would get you tackled to the floor by German police officers. Even if unintentional, you'd have some time to think about it and some 'splaining to do.
I am against almost all kinds of censorship, the only times I personally believe things should be censored if it's inciting violence/death threats to people. And even then I feel like censorship is probably the wrong way to do it.

And from that perspective, these quotes you're currently touting are ripped out of their context, making them sound asinine despite being mostly on point, fundamentally.

Twitter, Facebook, Google etc are private companies. They should be free to censor whatever they decide to censor.

I would personally hate it if they did, and it'd hope we'd get a competing platform that doesn't censor and that that'd become the standard, but it is what it is.

If a government makes the company censor something, then that is a violation of free speech (which I sadly don't have, as I'm not from the USA). And isn't that what happened in the context of Corona/antivax?
This is not concerning. This is the expected end result of a man like that being re-elected after all he did.
Anyone can be a user, so that tells us nothing.

There's clearly forces flagging all the remotely important things, just take this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42777938
The most powerful man the world just made the nazi salute while giving a speech in the US president inauguration party.

No substance?!

This is not some 'they caught a single frame where it looks like something it isn't' rage bait.

The video is extremely clear.
tangential but doesn't deep state mean a secret group of leadership? does it apply if one is a known public servant
How is footage that musk himself reposted misinformation?
Interesting stuff! Though I don’t get why b00lin would have to prove that they weren’t cheating. This is not a criminal case, but still. Activision was denying access to a service that was paid for.
It's not just Chinese labs that do this, lots of companies upload a README to a GitHub repository then link that repository from the website, I guess so they can have a GitHub icon somewhere on the website?

Submission is basically a form for requesting access to their closed API (which ironically is called "OpenPlatform" for some reason).
Actually wanted to highlight France as one country which correctly identified the threat of US going batshit crazy soon after WW2 and positioned accordingly, but didn't want to go into nuance on this particular thread. Now that it's flagged, we can agree in peace.
I'd isolate the machine from the internet, change my passwords from a trusted machine, save the media and documents from the isolated machine, and then reinstall the OS / factory reset the isolated machine. Still, I'm sure that there are technical possibilities that this doesn't account for, but I think I would be okay with the procedure nevertheless.
Yeah, a 1% error rate (IME in practice the error rate is _much_ higher than this if you care about detail, but whatever) just won't fly in most use cases. You're really talking about stuff which doesn't matter at all (people are rarely willing to pay very much for this) or where its output is guaranteed to be reviewed by a human expert (at which point, in many cases, well, why bother).
There is a cult following though, so even if the dems do well in 2026, I still think it's going to be hard to make sure the law is followed.

I also don't really see the Democratic party making any proper steps to do well in 2026. Maybe they won't have to do anything but let's see.
Civil disobedience is not synonymous with protesting and you can do the latter without the former. There are tradeoffs with everything and protests conducted with the tacit approval of the event organizers might be more convincing or more impactful than a disruptive protest that gets the protesters kicked out of the event.
I've always been curious about how this feature ends up in day to day operations and long term projects. You're happy with it ?
But we had 2.1 not so long ago.

The issue is non-market housing used to be roughly 30% of the renting market, applying downward pressure on rent prices and thus, house prices. It's now less than 20%, with 95% being 'HLMs' (and a big part of those were from 'loi Pinel' that ended this year). We need to get back to a high percentage of non-market housing.

My father used to be the co-director of a 'chantier d'insertion' where he was teaching basic woodworking/painting/construction/DYI and also artistic skills to people (mostly men) outside of the workforce (from the 16yo dropout to the 54yo ex-farmer), and they did own a few buildings they restored, to help house everyone (they also had people teaching mechanics, electric, plumbing, gardening btw). The local city council changed it's political side, the initiative was shut down and the non-market houses bidded on. The GDP of our city that year probably skyrocketed.

PS: not on the subject: he still had time to clean up an ex-slaughterhouse with his guys, and organize an art exposition inside, with 'mort aux vaches' tagged outside with blood-looking paint, which, considering the new mayor was from a military family, had a not subtle double meaning.
Poland fumes over US block on AI chips
You’re making a straw man of their argument.

They understand what the bureaucrats purported to do, but don’t believe that government bureaucrats can manage a complex system and that better outcomes are obtained by allowing individuals to optimize in a complex system than attempt to centrally manage complexity.

I’d go so far as to say you have it exactly backwards:

It’s people who advocate for government bureaucratic management that don’t respect complexity by hanging onto the belief a complex system (eg, an economy) can be managed by a handful of credentialed experts.
Not really, it always happens to political posts. They garner too many comments versus upvotes in too short a time (probably because everyone is too outraged to press the upvote button), and it causes a switch to flip somewhere.
If I were a small business, I would not be excited about having a magic robot 'hallucinate' things about my business. Like, this is the company that brought you glue on pizza.
That is unfortunate but they do present some theoretical insights about scaling context length and probably a more efficient way to do RL. Even knowledge about it can have an effect on next iterations from other labs.
You can do that with a set of timecode vinyl, Mixxx fully supports that.
PRs Are Annoying
Is anyone working on AI solutions to make dealing with pull requests easier?

Does anyone else resonate?
Obvious addition:

5. 1 != 6

I have doubts about #2. Weren't Big Tech companies paying senior engineers $300K+ - in 2025-adjusted dollars - back in 2013?

If you know any history, #4 is how many new areas of technology go. A couple ordinary guys built the first working airplane in their bicycle shop. Intel was founded with less than $1M, and fabbed its own chips. Vs. what would be the ante, today, to get into either of those industries?
Perhaps they had another reason to reject you which they didn't feel comfortable putting out in writing.
