That's a reasonable take, but in my opinion, is not what a non-expert reading of this article seems to be suggesting. So I wanted to state the alternative case.
> companies like Google, Apple, Meta, TikTok, and Microsoft cared about their well-being and safety

I wonder if this is the right question. No company I know cares about my well-being and safety, except for my employer.
I am more than willing to understand the Trump movement and think I do understand it better than most. I took issue with the lack of consistency in your comments above.
I think you mean civil servants. There should be nothing we all want more than to have a professional--and more importantly--apolitical civil service whose members are empowered to do their jobs.
sixdimensional covered this pretty well, but just to reiterate, I believe DBeaver is primarily a desktop app aimed at a technical audience. Mathesar is web-based and designed to have an intuitive, collaborative, spreadsheet-like UI for non-technical users who know anything about SQL or DB concepts. Also, Mathesar has deep integration with Postgres features e.g. you can configure roles and privileges through the UI.
The mass of such an object is likely be miniscule compared to the mass of the earth. So even a very close approach isn't likely to make much difference to the earth's orbit.

E.g. an asteroid 100m across with the same density as the earth is going to have ~0.0000000000001 the mass of the earth.
> and please don't imply that C# is truly cross-platform, it's fine for web API's, it's not fine when dealing with actual system calls

What exactly do you mean by this? How are syscalls worse in C# than other languages?

My understanding is other "cross-compiled" languages have cumbersome ergonomics with syscalls. They all use System or OS libraries that hide complexity and OS differences to varying degrees of success.
Meta also has a second generation of their own AI accelerator chips designed.
I am excited to see Sajoki tackling the biggest hiring challenge—soft skills. When done right, AI-driven assessments can eliminate bias and help teams perform at their best.

That may be true. But an even more interesting point may be that you don’t have to train a huge model ever again? Or at least not to train a new slightly improved model because now we have open weights of an excellent large model and a way to train smaller ones.
Ask HN: My school is moving away from SMS 2FA. Is this overkill?
My university is shifting away from allowing SMS as a 2FA option for accounts starting in March. I'm aware that there is now a well known "hack" that involves rerouting SMS 2FA texts to an attacker's own device, but that requires quite a bit of targeting to do, so I'm wondering if there's something I may be missing for the reason to shift away from SMS.

I'm especially curious considering large corporations like JP Morgan are still using SMS 2FA.

Is it really necessary at this point to move away from SMS authentication?

I never once heard this criticism for RAII in C++. Am I missing something? Coming from C to C++, RAII was a godsend for me regarding resource clean-up.
The DS R1 Model is slightly better though. So how does your statement square with that?
A comment on code organisation.

https://github.com/victorqribeiro/TinyApp/blob/db92225cfd0ae...:

export default function Input(state) {

const inp = input({ // ①
type: 'number', value: state.count, onchange
})

function update() { // ②
inp.value = state.count
}

function onchange() { // ③
state.count = parseInt(this.value)
}

state.addUpdate('count', update) // ④

return inp
}

(Labelling comments mine.)

This ordering isn’t great: ① refers to ③, and ④ refers to ②. It’d be better to reorder them, at least to swap ② and ③, and remove the blank line separating ② and ④:

export default function Input(state) {
const inp = input({ // ①
type: 'number', value: state.count, onchange
})

function onchange() { // ③
state.count = parseInt(this.value)
}

function update() { // ②
inp.value = state.count
}
state.addUpdate('count', update) // ④

return inp
}

But you really can do much better:

export default function Input(state) {
const inp = input({
type: 'number',
value: state.count,
onchange() {
state.count = parseInt(this.value)
}
})

state.addUpdate('count', function() {
inp.value = state.count
})

return inp
}

At least at this scale, that’s much easier to follow.

Inlining can improve other places too (though at larger scales it becomes more debatable):

export default function Button(state) {
return button({
onclick() {
state.count += 1
},
style: {
color: 'black',
border: 'solid 1px black'
},
}, '+ 1')
}
From an alternative pov from any one not from the west/colonizer countries:

We arent talking about those indigenous people regarding this topic. We are talking about the Chinese people there. This would be clear and obvious if Confederates were in any of the examples I gave. All 3 examples have indigenous people now who aren’t cared about now.

Americans were still actively cleansing Native Americans under 200 years ago. The only country that would do anything serious about an attempt at Chinese reunification would be America [and of course NATO and Europe but if America wasn’t doing anything, Europe wouldn’t either].

If it wasn’t for America, reunification would have already happened.

So the pov of Americans or the west caring about indigenous people is faulty from the pov of most of the rest of the world. The west should care about indigenous people in their own direct spheres of influence first.
I have worked in a couple places where some of the code was not in English, and it was incredibly annoying, like an affectation.
Having more decoupling capacitance on the board will increase inrush current as well, as all the capacitors have to be charged up once power is connected. Using larger decoupling capacitors than necessary might mean you'll have to add measures to decrease inrush current where you'd otherwise not need to.

I think the uncertainties are down to not precisely knowing:

-the size of the object

-the orbit of the object

-the velocity of the object

-effect of outgassing and solar wind on the object (as mentioned in the top comment)

Rather than uncertainties in the earth's orbit.

The Tugunska event of 1908 instead had 50-60m, but caused only three deaths because it was over a sparsely populated area; it still affected 2.1K km2 (or about two NYCs worth).

which raises questions about what kind of wave such an impact could create and what are the odds of that hitting a populated coastal town (or three) might be.
Lots of stuff shared on Hacker News is far from mainstream. Is it really so bad to use a tool that other people aren’t aware of?

Your friend sounds rather ignorant.
it's more complicated than this. I mean what you get is defined by what you put in. At first is was random or selected internet garbage + books + docs. I.e. not designed for training. Than was tuning. Now we can use trained model to generate the data designed for training. With specific qualities, in this case reasoning. And train next model. Just intuitively it can be smaller and better at what we trained it for. I showed two options how data can be generated, there are others of course.

As for humans, assuming genetically they have the same intellectual abilities, you can see the difference in development of different groups. It's mostly defined by training the better next generation. Schools are exactly for this.

I don't consider myself a writer, but it sounds like you do.

I find forum posts far, far less nerve-wracking than a blog post. For me, a forum post is almost like how the original article describes a chat: it feels closer to realtime, and feels easier, because it's just like playing a normal role in a conversation. It's normally a response to something, expecting a response.

A blog post feels closer to a formal publication, and I feel like they're more expected to stand on their own, without the justification and context helpfully provided by others' posts.
it would help to know what your tried. kanata?
This sounds like a game-changer for hiring! The focus on soft skills and personality fit is crucial, especially since technical skills can be taught, but cultural fit is harder to assess. How does Sajoki ensure the AI-driven assessments remain unbiased and fair across different industries and roles? Would love to hear more about the science behind the personality evaluations!
That close minded opinion you quoted left a bad taste in my mouth and makes me not want to check the OP's blog out.

Almost every opinion people have has been covered by someone else in some way unless you are working at the forefront of something, so it usually depends on how you value-add to existing things with your own experience.

It's also that sort of I-know-what's-better attitude that turns a personal thing into a competitive thing.

Between this for new media channels and the breakdown of trust in old media channels there is a lot of reason to be hopeful about the future of the US. One of the big problems of the past was the insane level of trust in institutions that were at best credulous and more realistically just lying continuously and brazenly. It is a big win for the public discourse if people start applying cynicism where warranted.

In many ways this is the real transformation change that the internet posited. Manufactured consensuses aren't holding so easily and people are being forced to acknowledge the sausage factory behind them.

> US strategy towards China as of late seems so defensive and even feels a bit desperate

One funny reading that's been gaining traction among Chinese netizens over the last few years has been likening the US to the Trisolarians in Liu Cixin's Three Body Problem, trying to undermine science while becoming increasingly chaotic and agressive at home.

I really hope apps like RedNote gain a bit of traction so there's more cultural exchange and people get a bit of an idea of how all of this is being perceived in China. There was also this whole meme last year of Trump as "建国同志", basically "Comrade Nation Builder", the joke being that the nation he's building is China because he's doing more to unify their efforts than the government ever could.

Similar to how a patent contract becomes void when a patent expires regardless of what the terms of the contract says, it's not clear to me OpenAI can enforce a contract provision for an API output they own no copyright in.

Since they have no intellectual property rights in the output, it's not clear to me they have a cause of action to sue over how the output is used.

I wonder if any lawyers have written about this topic.

Yes and No.

Yes: There is the idea of constructivism, where everyone constructs their own reality all the time. There is no shared, objective reality. And there are multiple ways to construct a reality, and some are, for example, based on emotion: "I feel it, therefore it must be true"[^1]. And there are reinforcing patterns which protect your reality constructions from falling apart, proofing it against what from other people's perspective would be considered evidence. The most famous protection mechanism is the Confirmation Bias. Another one that is widely spread among conspiracy mystics is Disagreement implies Ignorance: You disagree with me because you're ignorant to the facts. Another one would be Disagreement implies Dislike: You disagree with me because you don't like me, not because I'm wrong. So yeah, what you call "story-based" is from my perspective a class of reality constructions.

But no, it's not about some people being like this, and some people being like that. Everyone constructs their reality all the time, and constructing them in a specific way is a muscle you can train, something that changes over time _and_ something where you can fall into both of your categories at the same time.
A famous example would be HALT: Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired. People who are any or more of these things tend to create their reality differently without even noticing. If I'm hungry, I'm angry, and I tend to accept things more easily into my world view that justify my being angry, without even being aware of it. Only after a good meal I would be able to change my perspective again.

[^1]: For a fascinating glimpse into many reality construction patterns which are centred around emotions, I recommend this series of texts around a sub-group of parents of estranged children: https://www.issendai.com/psychology/estrangement/
Energy drift doesn't make the system non-deterministic, it just means that the time evolution has some error. The error is still deterministic. If you simulate a deterministic but chaotic system like n-body orbitals with a non-symplectic integrator, you'll always get the same result for the same initial conditions. The drift created by the finite timestep will also be the same.
Sorry, but that seems like not being knowledged of the spectrum of Objective-C capabilities then, specially to the extent how it was used in NeXTSTEP and first round of OS X frameworks.

Happy to hear that.
You're most likely to hear it from kernel programmers and Go/Zig/Odin advocates, but it rarely comes up as a criticism of C++ in particular. Perhaps that's because RAII is merely "distasteful" in that cohort, whereas there are many other qualities of C++ that might be considered total showstoppers for adoption before matters of taste are ever on the table.

There was an HN thread a few months ago[0] debating whether RAII is reason enough to disqualify Rust as a systems language, with some strong opinions in both directions.

I've been working on a project for the former Polish state telco and the codebase was mostly Java EE as written in the mid-00's. Since you cannot really be productive in Java without an IDE, standard English conventions for naming have been pushed onto the devs from early on - a getter must start with `get` or `is` if the return type is boolean, class names have to contain standardized postfixes corresponding to the design pattern used, such as `AbstractFactoryBean` etc. But since few people spoke English back then, they ended up with awful hybrid names such as `getCennikSluchawkiKeySet` or `OfertaManagerPrzylaczeProxy`.
Homeless people are still people. The public library is one of the few places they are allowed without being judged. Yes, there are mental health issues and libraries are not meant to "manage" them. However, providing a means for no-cost life-long learning for everyone is essential to their mission. The idea of the public library you have is outdated. Try visiting your local library and see how they have changed.
