> taking a static language and adding dynamic typing (e.g.`auto` in C#)

Assuming you meant C++ - no, auto is not a even a tiny bit dynamic. It's still fully static typing, but with type inference.

The compiler will still prevent you from calling a method which doesn't exist.
The most blatant example of this is Samsung phones artificially replacing photos of the Moon with a high-resolution composite.

ST3 won't be receiving any bugfixes or new features, so it's effectively EOL. Anyone's of course free to use ST3 or 2 or 1 if they don't wish to upgrade, we still make those available on our website.
I knew a dog that had a decent vocabulary. He would visibly react to words like CAR, WALK, or PARK. He also understood PARTY and MEAT and would wag his tail for PART and lick his chops to MEAT. One time we were going to a BBQ so I explained to him we were taking the CAR to a MEAT PARTY and he got super excites, wagging his tail and going to the door all while frothing at the mouth. Anecdotal but it certainly looked like he could synthesize concepts and imagine what was going to happen in the near future.

I've done a few other experiments with my foreign speaking friends and it appeared to me that dogs understand the language their owners speak primarily.

Sears failed because a venture capitalist realized they could buy Kmart, use it as collateral to buy Sears and drive both into bankruptcy and sell off after plundering all the assets for the shareholders.

How is that a success of the free market? 2 old companies destroyed because someone got enough money to run them into the ground and make a killing doing it?

Are MLMs also a free market success story?
This is definitely not something hosted on a P/SaaS.
Key point from your linked paper:

> We find that indiscriminate use of model-generated content in training causes irreversible defects in the resulting models

No one is training on indiscriminate synthetic data. It's very much discriminated, but still synthetic.
Thank you, Kelly (author of the article), for putting all of this into words. I know I don’t owe my employer an explanation why my ASD requires remote work, but those words describe my problems better than I could have said so myself. I wish more companies in my country were fitted for neurodivergent people.

I can’t change jobs because I find IT job interviews terrifying.

Etleap (YC W13) Is Hiring a Senior Software Engineer (SF)
Senior Software Engineer

San Francisco (in person)

At Etleap, we’re redefining how data teams build and manage data pipelines. Our no-code/low-code ETL platform allows seamless integration of data from any source — whether databases, applications, or files — into lakehouses like Snowflake, Databricks, and Redshift. With pipelines that "just work" and features like advanced data transformation using dbt Core and end-to-end pipeline observability, we’re focused on making robust data pipelines accessible to everyone.

We are looking to add senior engineers to our core engineering team to build the infrastructure that modern data teams depend on to create and operate their analytics infrastructure! It shouldn’t take a CS degree to build great data pipelines, and abstracting away the difficult parts is our mission.

What you are going to do:

- Solve challenging engineering problems related to the performance and robustness of distributed systems infrastructure
- Come up with novel ideas on how to make complex data technology user-friendly, and then turn those ideas into software
- Collaborate on the design and development of the next generation of ETL/ELT infrastructure that prioritizes user-friendliness and flexibility

What we want to see in you:

- 5+ years of experience as a backend software engineer, with a focus on distributed systems and data infrastructure
- You are drawn to and have experience solving challenging engineering problems
- Mastery in Java and a passion for building scalable, reliable systems
- You thrive in a fast-paced startup environment
- You’re down to earth and fun to be around. This is an absolute must!
- Based in or willing to relocate to San Francisco

Big plus if you have the following:

- Experience in a startup environment where you’ve helped build infrastructure from the ground up.
- Familiarity with AWS services like S3, EMR, and technologies like Terraform and Docker.
- Know the ins and outs of current big data frameworks like Spark or Flink, but this is not an absolute requirement - you’re a quick learner!

This role is open to individuals based in or willing to relocate to San Francisco

To apply, send your resume to jobs@etleap.com
What do you call a scandal when the company name already ends in 'gate? Seagategate?
I don't get the discussions around side project and they're ML engineers, not security experts. Why are you excusing a company for a serious security leak.

If you're releasing a major project into the wild, expect serious attention and have the money, you get third parties involved to test for these things before you launch.

Now can we get back to discussing the real conspiracy theories. This is clearly a disinformation piece by BigAI to add FUD around the Chinese challenger :-)
When I look at Facebook now, I immediately click Feeds > Friends. It's not 100% perfect, but so so much better. And I see what I "need" with so much less wasted time.

1. I'm not American.

2. The choice is not between US and China.

3. Communism is just destructive. Trust me, you'll eventually figure this one out.
I don’t understand this comment? Is it unusual to request something like this? OP’s comment was saying that all 1000 or so (and hundreds of thousands of others) of his colleagues would be able to do this if asked?

Good to know, thanks. Even though I am only slightly less scared at the prospect.
With the amount of complexity found in modern car's pre-packaged software I'd not be so sure.

Guess it is a good thing the AI output can’t be copyrighted, so at most they violated a policy.
There are many examples of experienced teams doing stupid things like exposing databases that I don't really think this is a valid conclusion to draw.
I can guarantee you every Pixel, Samsung, or Huawei phone had similar functionality built in but was never scrutinized.
Clearly it could never be enough to draw that conclusion but it might be very weak evidence in one direction
> Why would a Python project hire a rust programmer?

> But most people in our profession get to choose their job, don't they?

Let's say someone has only worked in Python professionally but dislikes it. They spent nights & weekends learning Rust. Now they want a Rust job. Because a Rust project would not hire a Python programmer, this person who hates Python is stuck working on Python projects.

It's attitudes exactly like "Why would a Python project hire a Rust programmer?" that keep people stuck in languages they don't hate. Those attitudes are the reason a senior software engineer with over a decade in the field can't switch tech stacks. Without that attitude, job postings would be written for programmers, not python programmers, and the job market would be better for it.
And then you can't access bank or government apps anymore... I used to root my phone, it's not worth it anymore
For those unaware, this was probably posted today because the origin of Lyme disease came up in RFK, Jr.'s Senate confirmation hearings today. He was asked if he had indeed claimed that "Lyme disease is a highly likely militarily engineered bioweapon" and he responded that he "probably did say that".
RSS and AT Proto have been on my mind all week.

Even though RSS is my main source of news, it’s impossible to get around the fact that the (incredibly, unfathomably stupid) shutdown of Google Reader kneecapped it.

AT Protocol is more than “let’s make Twitter more open” — it’s an open protocol for anything that’s real-time and shareable. I was never a big Google Reader guy, I liked traditional clients like NetNewsWire, but the sociability of Google Reader cannot be dismissed.

I’m not sure that just bridging RSS to Bluesky is the future… a distinct AT Proto lexicon seems like the actual way forward IMHO

Exciting times!
By that definition you can have any length pause and still claim zero downtime.
We have repeteadly found fake news in the fact checking as well as official truths in the case of Spain and I am pretty sure the pattern is replicated in other places. The funds that bought the newspapers, etc. in Spain are all the same around Europe.

They might not be the same, but they are interrelated sonce this is a fight to monopolize the truth and bias and lies are what you end up seeing. Many times they say sorry and get away with it,, but they are not saying sorry: they are working for some interests.

What happened to Biden's son in Ukraine. They totally disappeared before an election, for example. Why? Why it did not get through and went viral? I do not give a hell from these agencies. They are everything but seeking the truth. Yes, for some irrelevant info they might be ok but we all know who they work for.

Remember part of the leakages that Musk showed when he bought Twitter also with the mail exchanges of what to censor. Only a retarded would believe those agencies at this point.

Not to say fake news do not exist though.
Saltier tasting salt is likely counterproductive, IMO. People aren't born knowing how much salt taste corresponds to how much salt consumption, so that gets tuned by persistent salt deficits causing upregulation of salty food desire. In other words, homeostatic feedback causes salt consumption to stay about the same by increased consumption of salty-tasting processed food.
Yes, Arab Phoenician and Egyptian empires all are classified as early colonizers and/or slavers. I added the qualifier European/Mediterranean hoping to signal i covered them as well, but that doesn't seem to be coming across.

Let me put another way- sub Saharan African, Chinese, southeast/far-east Asian, Indian, North/South American(first nations), Polynesian empires etc largely did not do empire building via colonization or slavery.

This is not to say they valued human life or did not commit atrocities, it just means that economic models that necessitated colonies for resource extraction or large markets to sell to, or foreign slaves for human labor never evolved there influenced to environmental, population and cultural factors so colonization is atypical response when the empires are built there.

We can see observe difference today in how say China deals with foreign investments, loans and other development initiatives compared to how western powers do. The deals tend to be primarily economic with willingness to work with existing regimes and less non-economic conditions attached and so on.
It's easy to get discouraged by The News, which will always focus on things going badly. That generates clicks, but it's not a neutral sample of larger trends.

The last decade has increased US GDP per person by more than 50% (yes, adjusted for inflation), and launched many innovations making live better and safer.

> No known system satisfies the criterion that we all collectively don't have to work.

The current system nearly satisfies that criterion. We'd just have to accept 1700s average living standards.

Turns out in practice if you give people a day of free time they spend it bettering their lives by working instead of being happy with nothing.
It doesn't say much.

It's 2025: Many corporations are more funded by investors and lenders, rather than by income from servicing customers on the free market. The investor and lender money is conjured up out of thin air by a Central Committee, oops I mean by capitalistic bankers.
>Most people don't give a shit.

I think it's more accurate to say most people can't (and don't) care about big monetary figures.

As far as Joe Average is concerned, ChatGPT cost $OoomphaDuuumpha and Deepseek cost $RuuunphaBuuunpha. The only thing Joe Average will care is the bill he gets after using it himself.
“OpenAI complains company paid them for AI output that has no copyright, which was subsequently used to train another AI.” I think I fixed the title.
> This is just my opinion but I believe it's because the syntax tree is the syntax.

This holds for "old" lisps. There are other options. Racket and Scheme uses "syntax objects". Syntax objects contain besides the old syntax tree also source location information and lexical information.

Show HN: Instantly listen to highlighted text on macOS
HN is a bubble. The expectation that your colleagues are /experts like you/ is unrealistic. To stand something up like this, which is entirely on bare metal - this is a task many would find challenging if they are entirely honest with themselves and put their egos to the side. Your typical swe thinks that nothing is impossible.

There was a recent comment which said along the lines of “I used to watch figure skating, seeing them race around and spin, and think no big deal. It was only when I went on ice that I realised how difficult and impressive what they were doing was” - this is exactly the trap SWEs are most guilty of. — /this/ is what you learn as a staff level.

I fucking love Public Knowledge. They have been around for a while & just amazing on so many fronts. The choice quote here:

Sort of sucks that California is a blue state whose politicians are reliably/consistently/predictably under the utter control of the movie industry! Not great! It'd be nice to see a progressive party that doesn't have such major pro-control pro-capitalist tendencies.

There is no reason to believe that they would have achieved the same growth rate had they started with a larger economy.

As I stated, it is much easier to double growth when you're small and ultimately, growth rate doesn't matter as you can't spend growth rates. Nominal growth matters. The economy increasing by $5.5k per capita (2011 $) in the period after the civil war is a lot less impressive than increasing by $23k after WW2.
Google Reader shut down nearly 12 years ago. Its legacy now is that there are still people who are pissed off about that, and I get the impression that a surprising amount of them are now in positions where they get to make purchasing decisions over whether or not to buy Google Cloud.

(Being a Mac+iPhone person I've settled in quite happily with NetNewsWire now, but it took me a few years to get there.)
I swear people who talk about object permanence have never tested it.

The Wikipedia article about babies even talks about it not starting until month 8 [1]! At least, under "Contradicting evidence" they talk about other studies that showed as early as 3 months ...

I think people just want to feel special and just can't accept that other animals have the same abilities that we do.

With the cheap kg to orbit heavy lift systems coming online, these near misses are becoming opportunities for vast riches if they can be captured and mined. Less massive making the orbit easier to change.

It still doesn’t justify their valuation because it shows that their product is unprotectable.

In fact, I’d argue this is even worse, because no matter how much OpenAI improves their product, and Altman is prancing around claiming to need $7Trillion to improve their product, someone else can replicate it for a few million.
Totally understandable.

But I still think you've missed (or are just ignoring) the point of my original comment. I didn't claim it's an objectively good game that everyone enjoys.

It's an objectively good demonstration of taking a shit launch and turning it around into a success story.
Why change the orbit? Just lift off way in advance, land on it, mine it, then when the orbit is close just lift off at closest approach
It's going to be an increasingly irrelevant game when models make regional scale, i.e. country/sovereign scale inference attainable. Countries that couldn't even role out domestic search pre accessible models that displaces search likely soon can.
I didn't assume you were American. But there is 100% chance that you share an enormous amount of information with American firms, given that they have exponential more of a global reach. And if you're in Europe, the US literally represents more of a threat to you than China does.

As to communism, thanks for the patronizing noise however the choice isn't between communism or a profoundly corrupt, lawless "democracy" where a nuclear armed, mega-military egotistical megalomaniac thinks "might makes right" and casually talks about manifest destiny.

> But like, you can’t program Java without English right?

Sure you can, if you know Java, which is its own language distinct from any natural language.

Conversely, you can't program in Java if you know English, but not Java.

> A for-loop has to be written in English??

No, it has to be written in Java. It's true that Java keywords are mostly themselves borrowed from English (often by way of C++ or other computer languages rather than directly) with a use in Java that has some connection to the meaning in English, so its probably easier to learn Java if you already know English (even before considering that there is probably more and better documentation in English than other languages), but that's not the same as English being a requirement for programming Java.

It's really hard for me to understand how Meta makes so much money, and why the stock is growing so fast. I wonder how analysts come up with such high valuation (or maybe they don't and it's just an AI bubble?). Meta isn't diversified and their products are clunky and buggy. How long will they be able to maintain their profit? are they capable to come up with something revolutionary enough to replace their profitable products?
