I'm with you fwiw. Except I think its less that MAGA isn't an exstisential threat to democracy (they are) but that the Democrats are really just that useless.
This is an excellent point. I wonder if its because of noise restrictions or just no budget to retrofit things ? It certainly is a logical next step
They’re already starting to purge government employees that refuse to break US law when Trump asks them to:

But, more importantly, the thing important to Trump is lowering the corporate tax burden. Even more than he already had.
If you invest wisely, you will make money or approximately tread water even if the economy is shrinking, because businesses operating with sufficient foresight make money on average. It might not be enough to retire on. That is a separate question. If there is not enough juice in the system to fund everyone's retirement, then neither investment nor taxation can create that productivity. There might be some in-between solutions but anything that does not involve generating enough production and profit to at least fund pensions seems guaranteed to be regrettable.

Re: Taxation, if you want to make up for the shortfall in people's pensions with an additional tax, you're assuming that someone else is making enough money to make up the difference. That is not the case. People can hardly fund their own pensions to the extent recommended, much less anybody else's. Most businesses are not profitable enough to fund extra pension contributions either, and imposing that cost will stifle them.
> Reducing health reimbursements requires a top down overhaul of the whole US medical system.

Great let's get started.

> Either that or just telling poor people they can die in the streets outside of the hospital

Does the lion's share of US healthcare reimbursements go towards ensuring poor people don't die on the streets? I hadn't see that statistic.
It's worth pointing out that literally none of the magic tricks you're invoking are part of the linked article. I get that it sounds great in a libertarian comment on HN. It won't happen, is my point. It's too difficult, not amenable to simple solutions, largely mistaken, of questionable value (c.f. my points above) and in any case would be to politically costly to even contemplate in public.

So they're doing theater instead.

As lolinder stated, one of the main causes of this is Section 174 where software is now amortized as R&D over 5 years which means companies can't treat is as a regular expense. This leads to companies hiring less.

This point got mocked when I raised it some time ago:

Deepseek promptly fixed it so that their UI responds with 'Hi! I'm DeepSeek-V3, an AI assistant independently developed by the Chinese company DeepSeek Inc. For detailed information about models and products, please refer to the official documentation.' - but only if you ask that as the first question of the conversation. Bury the 'what model are you' question after a few unrelated questions, and it'll happily tell you it's ChatGPT.

Is it possible that it's an actual distillation of weights, but into a radically different architecture? We don't have evidence of that, but that would be a great technical feat in itself.

Is it trained on a large set of user requests and OpenAI replies? Yes.

The question is, were these obtained by simply using the API contrary the user agreement at scale, or was there access to internal OpenAI datasets, or was there some kind of capture of conversations by a man-in-the-middle (which could be any of a number of AI access resellers)?

The answer hinges on which _requests_ were in that training set, something that won't be easy to investigate - unless you're OpenAI itself, and can identify 'trap streets' in the archive of all conversations, cases where ChatGPT once gave an unusual response to an unusual request, and DeepSeek just happens to match it.
> Microsoft’s security researchers in the fall observed individuals they believe may be linked to DeepSeek exfiltrating a large amount of data using the OpenAI application programming interface, or API, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the matter is confidential.

> Such activity could violate OpenAI’s terms of service or could indicate the group acted to remove OpenAI’s restrictions on how much data they could obtain

What do we think this means in practice?

"Exfiltrating data" makes it sound like they were taking private chat logs, but I imagine that would be a much bigger deal. I'm assuming it's just using multiple free OpenAI accounts across a bunch of different IP addresses to generate a large training set.

The article talks about how CTEs are efficiency minefields and how Postgres doesn't do a good job of pushing down predicates, for example.

TBH, the solution is to improve the Postgres engine in this regard?

For example, in Bigquery I often use CTEs and see predictable speedups that are explained by predicate pushdown when slapping a WHERE clause on the user of a CTE etc. Bigquery has plenty of performance gotchas but I don't think CTEs are one of them; they seem to be transparent to the optimiser.

Something else that Bigquery supports is user-defined 'table' functions. These are like the 'functors' the article creates.

However, in practice they aren't very widely used, and I think this hints that they aren't as useful as the article is hoping for.

The thing I _really_ want is scoping. If only functions could be described like CTE WITH blocks, e.g.

WITH visits AS (
SELECT ...
FROM web_logs
WHERE ...
),
foo(bar INT, baz STRING) AS (
... function body here
)
SELECT ..., foo(a, b), ...
FROM visits
WHERE ...

Apart from the tidiness of this, this allows inlining of functions into the SQL statement body rather than as separate statements. Often various tooling e.g. DBT makes it really hard to with separate function definitions etc, and being able to inline logic would make things possible.

Bigquery also supports user-defined aggregate functions. Although there is rarely the need to stray from the standard builtin aggregate functions, when you need them they are brilliant.

(Anyone working _on_ Bigquery reading? If so, please ping me, I have loads of feedback on what works well and where the user pain and toil is ;) )
These are not magic tricks, they are things businesses/organizations/countries do every single day.

a big swing requires the dems to seem credibly like a real opposition, for people to want an opposition, and for that election result to be untampered.

American corporations have it both ways all the time, and with a freshly elected pro-business at all costs admin I think they have a good shot. And not only is this pro-business, it’s anti-China. The republicans couldn’t ask for a better set of headlines than a Chinese firm outcompeting an American one unfairly or in some other underhanded way for yet more nationalistic chest-beating that will lead to yet more international humiliation.

Fuck Altman and his scam company, fuck the entire tech industry for getting behind it so they don’t have to admit perpetual growth is fucking impossible, fuck the tech media for breaking its back bending over backwards to tell us fucking chatbots were the future and credulously printing every stupid hype piece, fuck this entire thing. I hope it burns to the foundations of Silicon Valley. Every one of these firms deserves every last lost dollar of market value and far more.

Yes. I sadly agree with obama: we can survive 4 years. I don't know we can survive 8.

“I think that four years is OK,” Obama said. “Take on some water, but we can kind of bail fast enough to be OK. Eight years would be a problem. I would be concerned about a sustained period in which some of these norms have broken down and started to corrode.”

We're already far beyond some norms breaking down...

Well, I can't wait for the day when Microsoft just disappears. All their life trying to stifle innovation and competition, and here we are again, where this time they have essentially been scammed by OpenAI thinking that they could pull off their anti-competitive practices once more with exclusive access to their models, only to then learn that they've lost and resorting to litigating their sorry ass out of the situation, all the while the US government is living a crypto wars dejavu trying to manufacture as much propaganda as possible to make us believe China is the new enemy we should be worried about this time.

Yep, nope, thanks. Keep those papers coming, bois. Make those models small enough that they can run locally so we don't depend on an online feudal lord.
Your post history makes it clear that you are sympathetic with Russia and China. I'm curious since you have such an interest in American politics - what country are you from?

Edit - stylometric analysis confirmed what I suspected: your first language is Russian. Makes sense that you would be here making inflammatory posts about the US.
Who knows with the Trump administration and their stacked Supreme court. I'm guessing what is going to be debated is not so much the data itself, but the means of obtaining the data. Basically there was breach of contract somewhere.
Common Lisp, with its excellent REPL, is great for this type of exploratory work. The ability to build up a function from the inside out, and to build systems and classes from functions, again from the inside out, trivially creating mocks and ad-hoc tests as you go, is fantastic DX.
I think the ideas in qubes OS (https://www.qubes-os.org/) is reasonable in implementation given today's applications, and the need for backwards compatibility.

HN's rules on dupes:

- No reposts within a year, unless ...

- Posts within the past year have not had "significant discussion", a value left provocatively vague by dang, but I figure as roughly >= 20 comments.

Reposts after 12 months or if there's been no significant discussion within the past 12 months are both perfectly OK.

You're welcome and encouraged to read the guidelines and FAQ (both linked on every HN thread and comment page) and/or see dang's many, many, many previous comments on this topic:

Okay, so answer the question: are all us presidents in the last 20 years, in your opinion, senile and incompetent? If so, what is the point of your comment in saying "When did you think the Russian aggression was initiated?"

I am a fan of this particular repository by Jules Jacobs who similarly uses struct based generics (to create immutable collections.)

https://github.com/julesjacobs/ImmutableCollections/discussi...

It has similar "source generator" hallmarks like in OP's post, for example calling a generic constructor which is JITted to a deeply nested struct type.

It's (in my opinion) very hard to reason what the code is doing because it has that flavor of "writing code to generate source to generate code"

It's impressive. And i'm pretty sure it's only real hinderance, why it could not be adopted into the base library, is that the repo needs a phd holder to finish implementing the `IList` interface because deleting is really difficult and theoretical.
The similar/duplicated stuff can be rolled into libraries. Just don't make the libraries too big lol. I suspect there's less duplicated stuff than you think. Most of it would be stuff related to parsing files and command parameters, I guess.
The article is (I'm assuming knowingly) written to give the impression that this was the work of some elite state-sponsored hackers exploiting vulnerabilities in Microsoft/OpenAI's software. In reality they entered their credit card info and typed some commands, same as everyone else.

Meta's Path to a $10T Market Cap
I think the left are resigned because the reason people were so fine with a "shake it up" Trump presidency is we've been run by billionaires over citizens for thirty+ years already, regardless of the party in power.

The Dems are part of the path that lead us to this moment and aren't doing much of anything to reverse things. To me, it felt at the time like I was either making my last fair vote now, or they kick the can another 4 years with a do-nothing presidency where inequality keeps getting worse, and we lose to fascists next time.

There isn't a real opposition big enough and popular enough to oppose this , and tbh I doubt one can be built in time
I suspect the goal is to make it not viable for any company to host the model and provide API services and create a choke point with deepseek.com

This is actually quite serious in my opinion, as running the 671B model is not trivial and I was hoping more vendors would pop up to provide API services.
This what Kusto Query Language looks like:

StormEvents
| summarize
TotalStormsInState = count(),
StormsWithCropDamage = countif(DamageCrops > 0)
by State
| extend PercentWithCropDamage =
round((todouble(StormsWithCropDamage) /
TotalStormsInState \* 100), 2)
| sort by StormsWithCropDamage

I find it to be much more readable. With SQL CTEs is as close as you can get.
When looking at this I became suspicious because Deepseek has/had dns records referencing openai and co-pilot. Then I got their chat to tell me what their model is based off of and it said ChatGPT. Hope my own bluesky account is okay for screenshots:

In my experience, some projects are very suited to discovery coding.

For my Machine Learning projects, I usually run a bunch of experiments either using pytest or directly on jupyter. I tend to plot out stuff and try out different types of feature engineering. Once I have nailed the approach, I then port a subset of this to a different jupyter notebook or python script, which is cleaner and more readable. This is because ML experiments are compute bottlenecked. So I want to ensure I spend enough time to pick the best features and model.

At work (which is not ML-related), I tend to do much less discovery coding because most of the unknowns are business related - does this API (owned by another team) scale, what is the correct place for this business logic etc. And, doing a viable Proof of Concept is time consuming, so I'd rather spend the time sweating out the nitty-gritties with product. The Discovery here must happen in the discussion with Product or other stakeholders because that is the expensive part. This is also why Product changing the Spec once the project is underway is infuriating. Sometimes a good chunk of the discovery is nullified.

Why DeepSeek’s new AI model thinks it’s ChatGPT...

https://techcrunch.com/2024/12/27/why-deepseeks-new-ai-model...

>Posts on X — and TechCrunch’s own tests — show that DeepSeek V3 identifies itself as ChatGPT, OpenAI’s AI-powered chatbot platform. Asked to elaborate, DeepSeek V3 insists it is a version of OpenAI’s GPT-4 model released in 2023.

>The delusions run deep. If you ask DeepSeek V3 a question about DeepSeek’s API, it’ll give you instructions on how to use OpenAI’s API. DeepSeek V3 even tells some of the same jokes as GPT-4 — down to the punchlines.
This doesn’t address my point or the topic at hand at all.

He has had severe successful business enterprises.
Russia's problem was they thought they were spending a lot on their military, but they were really enriching their top military brass while their ancient gear mostly rotted.
There is no conventional war with China the US can win. Therefore, it's a big fucking waste of money to pretend we can with aircraft carriers and tanks. Nuclear weapons are relatively cheap. What the US military is good at is dropping bombs that cost the equivalent of houses onto primitive people living in tents.

The US invaded at least 2 countries and killed 2 million plus people in the last 25 years. Where were you then to stop the "invasion?"
it’s not a radically different architecture. i think it’s probably just trained on API output, there are also third party broker markers for OAI API data
> Pretty much all the current crop of wars are a direct result of the US getting "less involved"

Whereas the previous crop of wars was a direct result of the US getting "more involved". Afghanistan, Iraq II, ISIS in Syria, Libyan civil war...

That placebo effect study is 20 years old. Most of the included trials in the meta analysis are 10-20 years old as well.

The BBC article is about a new device. The evidence base may be slim but the technology looks to be improving. I look forward to seeing new clinical trial results on modern DBS systems.
Well, did you ever realize that you have a "bee in your bonnet" regarding the number 8 which is not the point of my example resume? It could be any number smaller/larger as long as it gives all the details (at varying levels) with nothing omitted. The rationale has already been pointed out viz. a) Different job fit than applied for job b) background reference checking c) indicators of self-motivation/adaptability/breadth of thought etc. all of which are very relevant.

As i already mentioned, the current HR way of doing Recruiting is broken. So being a outlier in this case is good. Also in a paradoxical way, this breaks the ice and becomes a conversation starter. When i do send in my CV, recruiters invariably call me back which then helps me to prime them with specific relevant experiences listed in the CV which they then forward to the actual interviewers. It allows one to stand out from the crowd.

Finally, most 2-page resumes look all the same with keywords/boiler-plate sentences/paragraphs with nothing giving me any additional insight into the person. The self-imposed page limit causes them to self censor their words/sentences unnecessarily leading to loss of info. For example; compare "Expertise in C++ programming" vs. "Expertise in C++ in Multi-paradigm designs with focus on performant code". A few additional words but orders of magnitude information.
