If public opinion is so against smoking then why not let it fizzle out?

Your comment exactly captures what I mean. Every government in the west more or less shared your attitude over the past decade or two and what did it get them? A bunch of populists winning elections because people like you calculated that you could push the envelope on just about ever issue all at once and while you were all probably right individually it turns out that you can't all do that all at once. It's a tragedy of the commons problem of sorts.

Instead of treating public policy as a strategic game of "how many frogs can we boil on how many subjects and how quickly can we boil them without losing our heads?" frog boiling was treated as to be something avoided generally maybe such progress regressing things would happen less often.

Now, while I understand that Japan is not the west, I'm less than enthused to see them being sloppy like this.
We just lost https://www.meetup.com/ottawa-rust-language-meetup/. We had a really interesting talk scheduled for this evening on Durable Execution that's going to have to be postponed.

We're learning our lesson and rebuilding around http://www.ottawa-rust.ca/ rather than being beholden to anybody.

Any suggestions on meetup alternatives we can harness without becoming dependent?
Wouldn't that also result in it skipping the "thinking" and thus in worse results?
Is that what we can call Project2025?

Doesn't Japan already have one of the most non-car extensive transit systems on the planet?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_in_Keihanshin

> Public transport within Keihanshin is dominated by an extensive public system, beginning with an urban rail network second only to that of Greater Tokyo, consisting of over seventy railway lines of surface trains and subways run by numerous operators; buses, monorails, and trams support the primary rail network. Over 13 million people use the public transit system daily as their primary means of travel. Like Tokyo, walking and bicycling are much more common than in many cities around the globe. Trips by bicycle (including joint trips with railway) in Osaka is at 33.9% with railway trips alone having the highest share at 36.4%, the combined railway share (rail alone, rail and bus, rail and bicycle) is at 45.7%. Walking alone has a modal share of 8.5%. Private automobiles and motorcycles play a secondary role in urban transport with private automobiles only having a 9.9% modal share in Osaka.
Which is kind of fair enough, isn't it? AI models are right more often than they're wrong, but they're not nearly infallible enough to be used in a court. So the output of them should be treated like an intelligence tip, i.e. a fact that probably points you in the right direction for gathering more solid evidence... but has a chance of pointing you in the wrong direction entirely. Which is exactly how most of us use LLMs right now.
Thanks for the comment. To think, a Hacker News person was in our offices. How cool!!
This is awesome! As someone who’s worked as a tester, I know how valuable a dedicated community can be - especially one that’s not tied to the usual noisy social networks. It’s cool to see something built specifically for testers and quality engineers
I find it fascinating that some users here seem to be attached to the concept of an alpha male, reality be damned. It’s clear that this meets some emotional/psychological need for them.

I regard it as a dangerous mind virus. It is hard to rid yourself of it even if you see it is bullshit and harming you because it requires a substantial change in how you see your life. I think that’s because it is some hard truths (“people like powerful people”) mixed in with some cognitive distortions (“dominance is the primary mediator of all interactions”). The lack of a true definition means there is no objective measure of what it is, which makes it impossible to feel secure in. Thus, the endless arguing about whether behavior is really “alpha” or “beta.”

There are good bits there, such as not letting yourself be pushed around. But that doesn’t make it all good or true. I really think the whole artifice is a cop-out for actually doing the work of individuation and self-development because you outsource all the hard work of deciding what you want to be and the temporary, self-imposed emotional exile it takes to actually discern that to following guidelines ultimately given to you by other people.

You’re still not crafting your own life, you’re just changing who you get your life script from.

It exploits psychological vulnerabilities in people and traps them: if you worry about your alpha/beta status, then you’ll be the type of person who wants to fix it, but there isn’t a fix because your perspective is the issue.

Hope that was helpful for someone.
>>Just the training cost. They made it clear. If you could rent equivalent GPUs at $2/hr, it would cost you about $6million.

This is still quite impressive, given most people are likely to buy cloud infrastructure from AWS or Azure than build their own datacenter. So the Math checks out.

I don't think compute capacity built already will go waste, likely more and bigger things will get built in the coming years so most of it will be used for that purpose.
Yes and if you're talking about economy you will never be able to set foot on a plane like this either. There are proposals to have this over land as well which I am very strongly against to the point of not wanting a company like this to be successful.
I think a better solution is to have the olympics rotate between 3 or 4 cities. That way they can re-use all the stadiums and infrastructure.
Why not just host it in the same place every time? Greece would be the obvious choice. Think of all the money and co2 You could save.

But oh wait - that would make it much harder for IOC members to extract bribes… so it’ll never happen.

This. If time didn't matter, people would use trains instead of short distance flights. And many do! Many European cities that are a 2 hour flight apart also have an ~8-9 hour train connection, which is much less hassle and stress than the flight, but people who have to travel a lot will care about the time savings of even a few hours because it adds up over time.

Lots of people have to regularly travel between Europe and US, and if they can save 50% of the travel time, it ends up being a significant amount of time. I believe the market for these flights aren't families going on a holiday, rather people who have to travel on business 3-4 times a month.
That's parallel construction.
I don't think that's correct. If server A redirects to server B, then server B does not obtain the IP address of server A, only the IP address of the client. Also, the client does not send a "301 request" to server B, it sends a normal GET request. The 301 code only applies to responses, not requests.

Around the time of Deng the CCP realized that strict collectivization wasn't a recipe for economic success. Also around that time, a far more sociopathic strain of executive was coming into the boardrooms of American companies, one who wanted things as cheap as possible, externalities (like the American social fabric and economy) be damned. Tienanmen Square proved that the Chinese were willing to crush rabble rousers who desired political and economic reforms.

So American investors dumped a metric crapload of money into the Chinese economy for things like manufacturing. The labor was cheap, and anyone who wanted better outside of the status quo was going to be turned into hamburger under the treads of a tank. No longer would they have to deal with the labor unions of the Midwest and Great Lakes regions, or have to deal with American environmental, corruption, and labor laws. The investment was the seed money for the startup we know as modern China.
Germany destroyed its own energy infrastructure by shutting down all of its nuclear energy generation capacity.

The wartime destruction of Russia's coercive instrument is secondary to Germany's own self-inflicted wound.
Btw completely off topic, but your comment triggered the internal classification in my brain, and it looks like AI-generated.

Not accusing you anything. Could be that you happen to write in a way similar to LLMs. Could be that we are influenced by LLM writing styles and are writing more and more like LLMs. Could be that the difference between LLM generated content and human-generated content is getting smaller and harder to tell.
For me personally, it also has something to do with TUIs feeling more 'snappy' and reliable than many GUIs. For example, when I'm scrolling in Slack to get to previous messages, I'm often looking at blank space while messages load. Or when I open a search engine in Safari, often I cannot type in the search box without clicking on it first. Or in a JetBrains IDE I try to type code but the file navigator still has focus and now I'm using the 'file search' modus which I did not intend to use. I almost never have these issues with TUIs. They're mostly fast and behave like I expect. Can't think of how to explain this better right now.

In theory I like GUIs better as you can do a lot more with them, but they disappoint me so often that I often prefer a TUI (or a commandline tool).
I thought it was, "those who can't teach,"?
Computing is not king, DeepSeek just demonstrated otherwise. And yes, OpenAI will have to reinvent itself to copy DS, but this means they'll have to throw away a lot of their investment in existing tech. They might recover but it is not a minor hiccup as you suggest.
That's not the point. Much of the world has issues with free speech.

America has no issues with backing anti democratic countries as long as their interests align with our own. I guarantee you, if a pro west government emerged in China and they let us open a few military bases in Shanghai we'd have no issue with their other policy choices.

I'm more worried about a lack of affordable health care.
How to lose everything in 3 easy steps.

1. Get sick.
2. Miss enough work so you get fired.
3. Without your employer provided healthcare you have no way to get better, and you can enjoy sleeping on a park bench.

Somehow the rest of the world has figured this out. We haven't.

We can't have decent healthcare. No, our tax dollars need to go towards funding endless forever wars all over the world.
This. Well said.

> more than 90% were in code written after 5pm.

Intriguing. Did you find that remained true through DST periods, assuming DST observance? Meaning, did you find that it was literally the clock that determined when bugs would seep in, or did bugs also increase if you didn't counteract times changes for whatever human factor (circadian rhythm?) made 5 PM significant?

> The problem is that when our performance declines, so does our ability to judge our performance.

Sure, but what sees performance magically decline at 5 PM?

If it was the clock, did you try removing the clock from the equation? Did bugs show up the same if developers had no idea what time it was?

If it was some other human factor, did you see uniformity across all participants? Were the "night owls" who were just getting started at 5 PM just as likely to introduce bugs after 5 PM as those who had been working since 9 AM?
This is just luddism out of envy
And it’s coming to Seattle in 2026. I would be more excited about it, except for the reasons you listed (and more). Thankfully we will both be retired by then and can just leave for a month. At least World Cup acts as the kick in the ass to finish that light rail to Redmond.

For what it's worth, I think you're overestimating how important LinkedIn is today. I'm interviewing candidates this week and honestly haven't even noticed whether any of them had a LinkedIn profile in their resume, much less visited it. LinkedIn would love for all of us to think they're an essential part of the hiring process, but from my perspective on this side of it there's no value delivered, and pretty much everyone I talk to is sick of LinkedIn.

The only exception is that I know some companies use LinkedIn as essentially their job application process, but this isn't common—when I had to apply for hundreds of jobs after getting laid off at the end of 2022, I updated my LinkedIn profile but then never interacted with LinkedIn at all in the process of applying.

I half wonder if they're flagging behavior like yours as suspicious because most real humans have stopped interacting with their platform.
> What gets me is when people present it like it's bad to play that game.

It's not bad. But the western superpowers, however flawed, are at least familiar. For the past 75 years we've avoided world war under this power balance. A new power balance could turn out better in that regard, but that doesn't mean it won't be scary, especially for those who value individual liberty.

But drinking with coworkers is an important part of work culture in Japan. So seems unlikely.
I guess you've missed the hint.
It likely has an affect on whales and other marine animals as shown by a number of studies previously.
Actually I once tried to create a backup account. It was restricted immediately. But If I knew using the ad campaign would have triggered this, I would have avoided it entirely.
This happened to me recently with verification to Coinbases's KYC system. I was repeatedly denied verification and after contacting their support on X (the only method of contacting support without logging in is social media) they gave me the same ring around that you've experienced. Ultimately I solved the issue by using my girlfriend's phone to take the pictures of my license.

The root of the issue in my case is probably caused by my camera's low quality pictures from a lack of AI post processing since I use Graphene OS. It sucks that you can no longer easily contact a human when you're really stuck.
They don't have the navy for it yet.

Give it ten years.
Same goes with being a developer.

I know a guy who developed for a company who over time "became" a little shady. At one point they were simple apps and this dev was working for them on contract so he put out some one time apps, his personal account was associated for a while (bad choice).

Anyway he leaves and joins another company and suddenly that company is banned from the Play Store. Took awhile to figure out that his previous employer (and some mysterious sub companies) were banned at the same time and presumably associated through this guy who again at his new employer had his personal account tied in some way.

And in fairness his new employer very much could have looked like a shadow company created by the first.

Keep that stuff separated.

from non-investor perspective it's a long awaited sign of eventual profitability in the money pit and 10x sales potential. Not trying to debunk you, to me it's just proof as to how unrelated tech and market worlds are
That's argument is easily contradicted by plenty of worldwide examples of opposition trying to use the courts to combat dictators. Dictators often ignore court decision they dislike because they have the ultimate power of enforcement.

Clearview AI, the AI in question, doesn't come out of it looking great:

> Clearview AI, a Delaware-based technology company, boasts that its facial recognition programs can be used to fight child exploitation, investigate crimes, exonerate the innocent and even identify Russian spies working in Ukraine, according to its website.

> A statement at the bottom of the facial recognition report (...), reads, in part: “These search results are not intended or permitted to be used as admissible evidence in a court of law or any court filing.”

It seems to me that Clearview AI overpromised, tried to pull a Tesla with their "this car can't legally drive itself so don't try it, wink wink" strategy, and now they have turned themselves into a liability. Usually I would be happier about news like that, but then I wonder: who are Clearview AI's customers? Which type of entity "investigates crimes" and "identifies Russian spies" in such a way that they don't need the results to be "admissible evidence in a court of law"?
Will the "unbirthing" process of aquamation replace burial and cremation?
I would agree except I think it’s 1997. I’ve gotten DeepSeek to mostly solve a not very complex problem in a somewhat obscure domain (home assistant automations) in 214 seconds of its own ‘thinking’ and if you can get this two orders of magnitude lower this unlocks completely new use cases ie. demand.
Dynamic triple buffering is basically just giving the hardware time to clock itself up when there is a sudden change in workload, e.g. idling then opening the overview (drawing basically nothing -> redrawing basically the whole desktop).
In old days, it's called the instinct of detective.
I meant quantized versions but yea, I get your point.
But no one does that.
It's the 'it's literally been screaming out the window for years, was clearly true then, and is still clearly true now' response.

How is what they are saying any better?
Normally I provide snark when HN is used in the past as a support forum for these large companies, because they should be doing this work themselves, not us.

However, it's been years and this trend doesn't reverse and only gets worse.
Sorting through case studies manually is such a pain, so this seems like a total time-saver. Any plans to make it work with PDFs too? A ton of good stuff is in those. Anyway, love the idea - gonna give it a shot.
It's not a 'technicality.' The person got off because the police didn't do their job.

Nobody else calls not doing your job right a 'technicality.'
Can you post screenshots of the ad campaign you were running?
Any sort of geopolitical expert is generally going to be labeled as such because he works in the domain at a reasonably high level.

The problem with that is that when at such a level, political factors start to come into play.

The net effect is that in any conflict, the winning side will have competent and qualified expert geopolitical analyses, while the losing side will have propagandists.

So the geopolitical expert is, at best, a liminal species.
When they enabled price dumping.
For serving, yes. But this is for lab analysis.
The reality is that there are a lot of personal services that $JOE or $JANE would probably like that they're not willing to pay the "true cost" (whatever that means) for. Certainly if my housekeeper doubled her rates, I would just do without. As it is, it's a monthly luxury.

>Same for Airbnbs, which already cost 30-50% of a hotel.

Have rarely used them but it's probably more than that. For vacation houses, they're competing with other services like VRBO.
They're in a perfect position for this, too, and has been noted many times over the past 10+ years, they've already started doing it wrt. electronics manufacturing in general. The West spent the last 50+ years outsourcing its technological expertise to factories in China; as a result, they now have the factories, and two generations of people who know how to work in them, how to turn designs into working products - which necessitates some understanding of the designs themselves - and how to tinker with hardware in general. Now, innovation involves experimentation, so if you're an innovator, it's kind of helpful to have the actual means of production at hand, so you can experiment directly, for cheap, with rapid turnaround.

If that's a problem for the West now, it's a problem of our own creation.
I've completely forgot about this! It also affects other airplane systems (mostly pito tubes) which can cause the autopilot to disconnect or master caution to go off which have been known to lead to confusion and major incidents in the past.
I would commend you for that. However, from past experiences, when you refuse to provide your LinkedIn profile, people often assume you are sketchy and have something to hide. But at this point, I have no choice but to figure out a way to work without LinkedIn
> LinkedIn profile is literally essential to your means of livelihood

Well, it shouldn't be. You shouldn't tie your livelihood to a single unpaid account.
Big fan of unsloth, they have huge potential, could definitely need some experienced GTM people though, IMO. The pricing page and messages sent there are really not good.
Even if the noise pollution can be solved (or, as others have said, just run it only over the ocean), I don't see how this thing wouldn't pump out an immense amount of CO2. It's definitely cool and would make flying nicer, but in an era where we're trying to decarbonize, get sustainable aviation fuel going, optimize flight paths to avoid contrail warming, etc... I can't lie, there is a big part of me that hopes it doesn't work out.
Right angles work too, unless they carry a crucifix glitch inhibitor.
Upvoting for visibility, hopefully someone at LinkedIn sees this. In the meantime, I'd recommend:

* Go through LinkedIn Business support (https://business.linkedin.com/sales-solutions/contact-us) instead of the consumer support chat

* Try the EU data rectification form (https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/ask/TS-DRF)

* It sounds like other sites are showing captchas too, which might be a broader issue. I would try a different browser, clean your cookies etc., and potentially go to a coffee shop or VPN into a clean IP (not a commodity VPN provider). X and LinkedIn (or whoever LinkedIn uses for identity verification, and potentially Cloudflare) may have flagged your IP.
I love how 60s SF authors were absolutely certain that psychic powers were going to be unlocked.

This isn't exactly true, as the dependency management was simple - clone the relevant project. Dependencies being source is great as it encourages open source.

Of course, the problem with that was that it was pretty much impossible to version properly, causing breakages and such.

I am sorry to hear that it happened.

There's a possibility that there might be a "network effect" going on, where activities in other contexts are being used to score the LinkedIn context. I have no idea what might be going on in other venues, but they may affect/be affected by the LinkedIn stuff.

I recently completely abandoned my Faecesbook account, because they flagged the third post I made as spam. The posts weren't spam. I was sharing new releases of my apps with my friends, but the bot saw App Store Link, and automatically assumed "spam."

I'm not going to keep trying, and I'm not going to appeal, because that may actually affect my accounts in other venues, that I care about. The only reason that I kept the FB account, was to provide Service to a group. They no longer need me, and I really couldn't care any less about FB, so ... asta la vista, baby.
