>to effectively rewrite history from the government.

This is disingenuous. It's not "rewriting" anything, it's simply refusing to answer. Western models, on the other hand, often try to lecture or give blatantly biased responses instead of simply refusing when prompted on topics considered controversial in the burger land. OpenAI even helpfully flags prompts as potentially violating their guidelines.
Russia has no problems to find a reason. Yet if there're no consequences for their actions, they'll keep pushing the line.
The comment they were criticizing had basically nothing to do with the video. Aim your own critique upstream because that's the source of the problem.
Those cables are becoming more interesting as Lithuania/Latvia/Estonia are about to switch from soviet-era electric grids network controlled in Russia to european grids network.

Here is an interview with Liang Wenfeng, CEO of the Deepseek company (it is in Chinese so use google translate to read) - https://www.36kr.com/p/2872793466982535

There is a lot of interesting points here which American CEOs can learn from.

I don't think organization will be able to do this themselves. Transforming vague ideas into a product requires an intermediary step, a step that is already part of our daily job. I don't see this step going away before a very long time.

Non-tech people have the tools to create website for a long time, though, they still hire people to do this. I'm not talking about complex websites, just static web pages.

There will simply be less jobs that there is today.
I have, but seems it has evolved quite a bit in the past year when looking at their new front page. I'll probably give it a shot. But in any case, I don't like their focus in collaborative features. It brings unnecessary bloat, that is not present in Sublime.
That's pretty reaching though if you're comparing an AI to a formatter. Presumably 70% of a new Aider release isn't formatting.
We try new things, keep what is useful and discard what is not. That is normal, why complain, just do what is best for your problem.
If you’re not sure, just keep the mitigations on.
I agree with most of this, but I don't understand why you'd treat FKs as business logic. IMO, it's clearly a part of the data structure. Like, say if you have a domain that looks like:

type User = {
username: string;
posts: Post[];
}

type Post = {
content: string;
}

(for the DDD-brained, assume User is an aggregate and Post is a value object here)

The natural way to represent this in the database is:

CREATE TABLE users (
username text PRIMARY KEY
);

CREATE TABLE posts (
author text NOT NULL REFERENCES users (username),
content text NOT NULL
);

I just don't see why you'd do it in any other way.
I recall the steve jobs method of figuring out if people are good employees... He tells their coworkers "I heard so-and-so is shit", and if the person is loudly defended, he might be ok. If not, he might not be that good.

Maybe this is a way of doing the same thing. If people defend funding something strongly, it might deserve it, and if not...
If it worked on mobile, it would eat my day alive. For such a fantastically designed game, I’m shocked at this misstep. It’d popularity would explode with a working mobile version.
There are a lot more composability problems with SQL.

As an example, can you write a function that you can invoke on a column in a select statement and will compute the cumulative distribution function of that column?

The expression to do this is enormous "SUM(column) OVER (ORDER BY column ROWS BETWEEN UNBOUNDED PRECEDING AND CURRENT ROW) / SUM(column) OVER (ROWS BETWEEN UNBOUNDED PRECEDING AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING)" and there is no choice but to inline it. I think it would be reasonable to expect users to be able to describe this and then write simply "CDF(column)". The only systems that do this I believe are text processing macros on top of SQL...
If mitigations include disabling SMT and the workload is compiling code, then the difference is easily in double digits.
I'm surprised this didn't get a lot of publicity... I used to pop on there every month or two, and from what I can tell it just went poof with no warning...
Sublime Text has always been great and reliable.

But like with everything, having a great choice of fantastic text editors is always good so everyone finds something they enjoy using.
In the argument of Sublime Text vs. VS Code, the deal breaker for me has always been VS Code telemetry. Of course, you can disable it in the settings or firewall, but then you have to constantly monitor it to ensure that some "bug" or "update" does not re-enable it back. Alternatively, you can choose not to care about potentially sharing everything with Microsoft and their 829+ partners. However, I prefer to pay for Sublime rather than participate in some manager's brilliant idea to extract revenue from a "free" user base.
At least for power cables, the point is Lithuanian/Latvian/Estonian grids. Currently they're still connected to Russian grids and frequency is controlled by Russians. But this is about to end on February 8th. On this day Lithuanian/Latvian/Estonian grids should completely disconnect from the soviet-era grids network and start keeping frequency on their own synchronised with central european grids.
Bot detection. If someone has residential proxies and can forge millions of IPs you're out of luck and have to analyze the call pattern or other data to remove the bots, if it's data center IPs you can remove them quite easily without the log quality being impacted as most users have residential IPs.
> SPECTRE/MELTDOWN mitigations, doesn't CPU performance drop below the same CPU performance with no branch prediction at all?

No. Processors with no branch prediction would be many times slower (up to dozens of times slower on workloads that don’t fit in cache)
Surely 256 GPUs along with custom FPGA boards aren't cheap either? But I guess it's a relative cost thing.

C++ main function doesn't need return but has int return type
TIL C++ has exception for main function to be without return even though they forced it to have int return type. Can someone explain to me why this was done? C was happy with void return type but C++ forces int, yet implicitly adds return 0 if missing.
If you're thinking about having St John's Wort, and are currently taking any head-medications such as antidepressants or benzos, make sure you speak to your doctor/GP first.

Even though it's a plant and is natural, it can either reduce the effect of some medications or increase the strength. So wouldn't take it without medical advice.
Right, but that's not what this order does. People were locked out of Medicaid payment portals today because of this, how is that shutting down DEI? It seems that they really had no idea what they were shutting down with this, order.

Sublime Merge offers a graphical user interface to edit the settings. I’m not sure why they haven’t implemented that in Sublime Text yet.
In my last performance review 360 feedback colleagues suggested that my use of Sublime Text may be holding me back and I should consider moving over to VSCode. They're probably right ... but I'm old and there's more exciting things to learn than all the foibles of a new editor. Plus I like supporting and using the products developed by a small team of dedicated engineers ... it makes me feel less like a cog in the machine. Luckily I no longer seek promotions so I'll continue to resist moving to VSCode until I retire, or die.

That is strong evidence post WW2 is a competing nomination. At 2.2 vs 2.5 it is probably down into the noise if they are estimates, especially ones from 1800s. This why I did not provide any quantitative comparison.

Down into the noise on a winner, I think I'll take the one with much lower taxes and far lower incarceration rate as my preferred template to break the tie.
This is a flawed comparison in many ways. As you might not understand IE was problematic because of its massive install base and everyone only, and only writing their websites for chrome oh wait. Typo'd there, meant IE.

Those examples wouldn’t be differentiable in the sense of automatic differentiation. “Just” parametric CAD + FEM/BEM + optimizer.

Though differentiable FEM has kind of been done for a while under the name “adjoint method” for topology/shape optimization. It’s not super common outside of academia though.

Personally, I’m keeping an eye out for projects like https://github.com/deepmodeling/jax-fem to make some waves in that space.
Pick Your Fights: A Pragmatic Approach to Coding with AI
One tiny thing, that I haven't investigated at all... And doesn't seem to be a common thing to worry about... If I have a file with an asterisk in it, then Sublime [0] seems to have issues displaying the file name.

Promise, when my situation get better i will pay the 80$ license. It is on my buylist since a lot of time :)

Thanks for the software
Really, who cares?

OpenAI has made the argument in the past that it couldn't exist without utilizing copyrighted works without permission and, as a net good for humanity, they should get a pass. Old dusty laws and authors rights should clearly take a backseat to innovation!

... except now the shoe is on the other foot where suddenly it's bad to use things without permission. If you were a proponent of AI and AI accelerationism then this should still be kosher since the "net good" has increased with a completely open source model that is apparently considerably more efficient.

The only remaining line of defense amounts to censorship concerns and/or "China bad," as if OpenAI also doesn't do the same and the US was a geopolitical darling.
When I reminisce with people about that age, we mostly fondly remember how much fun software still was back then. Sure Disco was just a thin veneer over OS functionality but it was absolutely hilarious when you ran it. I still miss Apple's "shredder" animation when removing items from the iOS 6 Apple Passbook, and how OS X widgets had this crazy water ripple effect when you dropped them.

I use both Sublime and Vscode every day for different things. Sublime is just so fast and responsive all the time, while vscode can get annoying slow and laggy, often because of all the many plugins I have running. If I just need simple text file editing with syntax highlighting, say while editing a markdown file, Sublime is just snappier. For actual coding VScode is much better because of all the IDE features.
Oh yea that's the Silicon Valley I remember from my time there. I lived in Mountain View and at&t 768kbit DSL was the only available internet (Comcast dropped connection so often I had to cancel).

I think the point being made was diseases can be difficult to diagnose. Some diseases don’t have explicit tests.

ADHD is diagnosed by looking at just symptoms if I remember correctly. I’m not sure about autism.

I knew someone who became sick. At first it was thought to be Lyme, it took a long while to determine and a bunch of other theories to determine it was lupus. Tests were not fully accurate and these illnesses manifest a little differently in different people.
If you can do processing outside of the database you don't have a lot, that's basically the definition of a lot of data. Don't be sorry, try to not have more data.

Government people. I remember Kissinger flying on it.

They complain because they discarded what is useful, breaking solved problems and needing to spend a lot of resources on working around that instead of solving the actual problem.

But this is a recurring problem in software development, people spend all their energy on setup and innovation, and relatively little on the actual value.

Speaking about what people "need" is a scary step.

Perhaps microservices were the wrong idea then... Added complexity and splitting what is still conceptually a single coordinated operation.

If it's the proper debate though, we should get to it - not just ignore that part, and say "we moved on", as if we improved things...

The problem there was that the GDPR was dumbed down by either the legislators behind it or the media to "the cookie law" or "the cookie banner", but nobody, especially not the decision makers, seem to have looked into it. It's a huge cargo cult, in that people put up the same banners they saw the early adopters do and think that's complying to the regulations.

Correction: the administration is pro-monopoly.

It's corrupt in the same ways that Trump accused of other administrations – it's just funneling cash and opportunities to a few established companies who are in good graces with the government. To be pro-business would be to welcome competition and encourage new businesses (a.k.a start-ups) by establishing proper incentives and removing roadblocks.
I used Sublime for coding before switching to VS Code for coding, but I could never leave Sublime text for some use cases. For example:

Maybe, but the end user of a browser based application (what this post feels like it references) deals with regular files served over HTTP still. Its source may be S3 in the end, but ultimately it's webservers and files, be they self hosted or one of the major content distribution networks' servers.

And that's absolutely fine, it's simple, highly optimized, standardized, etc. S3 blobs aren't and except for very specific use cases I wouldn't use it for serving files to end users.

Having lived through all that I think it’s worth reminding that old typed languages were no match to modern ones. I’m not talking about arcane envs here, only about practical and widely used.

People didn’t really go just “untyped”. Untyped simply was quicker in becoming easier to use and less screwed than the old. Or you may even view it as paving the road. Typed slowly catched up with the same quality under new names.

This nuance is easy to miss, but set the cut off date to 2005 and recollect what your “options” were again. They weren’t that shiny.
Flying fish that are increasingly not sustainably harvested on insanely fuel in-efficient supersonic planes is exactly humanity deserves to go extinct.
Tech workers often spend $100 or more on a fancy meal with friends in a single night—I've definitely done that more than once. So paying $100 for a software license that I’ll be using almost every hour of the workday, and even more when working on personal projects, feels like a bargain.

As a rough generality, being good at something, like proper good at it, is incompatible with the basic forces of how modern organisations work. By this I mean the systems of reward, power, decision-making.

That doesn’t mean all organisations work this way (mythically, startups of old didn’t), nor that some leaders can’t manage this tension, but tension it is which means while these leaders will often achieve “better” outcomes (that is, “more good” outcomes with relevance to the area of expertise or craft they’re good at, often but not always with more empathy and better working conditions for those delivering), they’ll also encounter more barriers to progressing to and maintaining positions of power, face greater scrutiny, probably be confused why the organisation around them isn’t understanding or valuing their capability (and spend a lot of time translating to frames they do understand and value), and ultimately greater burnout.
On the one hand, I'm with you. I went from being incredibly uninformed about most current events to being incredibly anxious about EVERYTHING due to HN. I've since stepped away (in fact, this is my first time back in weeks, maybe, and I approached the feed very cautiously.)
But, on the other hand, I come to HN for its intelligence. Compared to other similar sites, I've scarcely found another userbase that's as consistently sincere, nuanced, and intelligent as the users on here. So, while I agree that politics and related topics can be remarkably anxiety inducing at times, I value HN because I can see what I believe to be the best Laymen's thoughts on it, on a website which isn't nearly as profit-driven and exploitative as the alternatives.
