> 1. Most Trump supporters do not think that there is a problem.

Talk to any conservative -- even people who are/were skeptical of Trump -- or browse any conservative-leaning social media. It's clear that the people who voted for Trump fully understood what they voted for: they wanted what's happening. Project 2025 is a good thing in the eyes of many. Maybe they think politicizing the whole executive branch is a little distasteful, but in the eyes of literally millions of Americans, it's a means to a well-justified and long-awaited end.
It is interesting to note an intentional choice to go from a "safe" language to an "unsafe" language for a program whose use is not without security implications (even if it's not network-facing).
Little tools like how to pluralize nouns, convert adjectives to verbs (function takes data and arranges it into a response that the adjective applies to), would help a lot with rename refactors.
> Elon Musk doesn’t have the authority to overturn programs and spending priorities decided by Congress. And yet he is doing that, for example he "deleted" 18F that build the Direct File site for filing taxes.

This is the problem I have with all of the commentary on DOGE, it's extremely slippery about what is being paid for by whom and how. The official website for 18F says they are not allocated funding by Congress: https://18f.gsa.gov/about/
I think a counterpoint to this is that SQL has a specific and well-defined meaning and it takes effort to get what you actually want right. However, communication with an AI can sometimes request a specific context or requirements but also be intentionally open-ended where we want to give the AI leeway. The great thing here is that humans _and_ AI now quite clearly understand when a sentence is non-specific, or with great importance. So, I think it’s hard to come up with a more terse or approachable competitor to the sheer flexibility of language. In a way, I think it’s a similar problem that still has engineers across the world input text commands in a terminal screen since about 80 years now.
Much as it is the case with guns, why is the "problem" the tools or provider of the tools and not the user of the tools?
It's not that law enforcement and intelligence agencies shouldn't do their jobs. It's that alliances shift, enemies and AI get around firewalls, and every last vulnerability will eventually be used against us.
> I feel ok about doing this, and don't consider it AI slop, because I clearly mark at the top that I didn't write a word of it

This is key - if it's marked clearly as AI-generated or assisted, it's not slop. I think this is an important part of AI ethics that most people can agree with.
No, you're still saying it's front running.

> Basically every index of any significance is already being monitored and rebalancing effects are "front-run" this way.

> I put the word in quotes, because this is a perfectly legitimate way of front running.

No; it is not "front running."
But I use it for many other use cases and hosting protocol based services that would otherwise expose me to advertising or additional service charges. It's just like people that buy solar panels instead of buying service from the power company. You get the benefit with your multi-year ROI.

I built the machine for $5500 four years ago and it certainly has not paid for itself, but it still has tons of utility and will probably last another four years bringing my monthly cost to ~$50/mo which is way lower than what a cloud provider would charge, especially considering egress network traffic. Instead of paying Discord, Twitter, Netflix/Hulu/Amazon/etc, paid game hosting, and ChatGPT, I can self host Jitsi/Matrix, Bluesky, Plex, SteamCMD, and ollama. In total I end up spending about the same, but I have way more control, better access to content, and can do more when offline for internet outages.

Thanks to CloudFlare Tunnel, I dont have to pay a cloud vendor, cdn or vpn for good routes to my web resources or opt into paid DDoS protection services. It's fantastic.

That would be removing information and strictly worse that including it.

Communication is about communicating information, sometimes a terse short and aggressive style is the most effective way. It activates neurons in a way a paragraph of polite argumentation doesn't.
These "regular people" that you seem to condescendingly speak about absolutely notice it at the pump and at the grocery store. They aren't mindless robots.
Advertising is just the surface layer—the excuse. Digital ads rely on collecting as much personal data as possible, but that data is the real prize. This creates a natural partnership with intelligence agencies: they may not legally collect the data themselves, but they can certainly buy access.

This isn’t new. Facebook, for example, received early funding from In-Q-Tel, the CIA’s venture capital arm, and its origins trace back to DARPA’s canceled LifeLog project—a system designed to track and catalog people’s entire lives. Big Tech and government surveillance have been intertwined from the start.

That’s why these companies never face real consequences. They’ve become quasi-government entities, harvesting data on billions under the guise of commerce.

Things have been moving so fast, and there are so many people who are confused, including myself, I am wondering where "bypass the Constitution entirely" comes from?

E.g., USAID. It wasn't shut down, it was moved into the State Dept and the law clearly says the Secretary of State should be setting its direction. The current Secretary of State has said that Congress has been frustrated for decades at how USAID has been spending money without legislative direction. Well, no maybe that'll be fixedm

Trump's E.O. stopping payments only did so for those not required by existing legislation. A judge paused part of that e o., and I've heard nothing about the executive branch ignoring the judges order.

Does legislation specify how payment processing in the Dept of Treasury works, that is, that there be an office of payment processors that do nothing but click "ok" to the tune of over $250B in overpayments in 2023?

Now, maybe if he actually does try to completely disband the department of education then we will have a constitutional crisis if Congress doesn't pass a law authorizing that first.

Everything else so far seems to be just stirring the pot.
Unfortunately WhatsApp stopped supporting KaiOS.
Wouldn't say that racists were in the minority. Hitler starting several wars turned them off from fascism, in Britain as well, but regular old racism and white supremacy was strong.
Yeah I've heard similar, although I'm surprised you got 1080p out of Apple TV on Linux.

The streaming services landscape is very weird in general. Lots about DRM or what have you that cause very bizarre rules like Netflix only allowing Opera on linux to play full 1080, or how on mac Edge only does 720. Some of them refusing to show anything over 720p on browsers no matter which platform. Of course some have workarounds through extensions.

Certainly not the seamless experience one would have hoped from the switch away from cable services!

I don't know what did we expect after they removed their "Don't be evil" motto.
The short answer is that tracing is way, way easier to implement in a predictable and reliably performant way. This especially matters for distributed computation and automatic differentiation, two areas where JAX shines.

AST parsing via reflection means your ML compiler needs to re-implement all of Python, which is not a small language. This is a lot of work and hard to do well with abstractions that are not designed for those use-cases. (I believe Julia's whole language auto-diff systems struggle for essential the same reason.)
From the article…
Guests can view and respond to an invitation using the new iPhone app or on the web without needing an iCloud+ subscription or an Apple Account

Sounds like there’s no Apple walled garden lock-in for recipients of the Invites? Only for creating/managing them?
Sadly, attempts at equating evil figures/regimes/ideologies with those who fight back against them are equally predictable.

You touch on an interesting idea. Imagine if there is a "USA ATC Github" open-source repo. As a consultant, you bid on maintenance of the repo and get repo ownership privilege in exchange for your contract. Now you are paid to contribute to the repo for the duration of the contract. The public gets to see if you are worth your fee. If your contract ends, ownership revoked and handed to the next consultant.

The obvious downside to this is that hardening code becomes a potential large amount of effort/overhead that could normally be concealed behind binaries and proprietary code.
When JavaScript was created, Java was a trademark of Sun Microsystems.

Then Oracle acquired Sun, and with it, the trademark to Java.

And then this crap started. That was the moment to drop "Java" from the name, everyone knows exactly why.
Part Seven: Enter DOGE.

Part Eight: Hostile takeover by Musk & co.
I graduated with a degree in computer science from a state school back in the 90s and it tried to prepare people for a job. Would I have been prepared to design and write a double entry, networked, data entry program with 10 screens in C with a database backend by myself as my first job with just the degree? Maybe?

I learned C in college. But I learned to program in assembly and a little BASIC before going to college by being self taught.

Yeah we did a DS&A class, networking, and I believe a database class was offered soon after I graduated. But we also learned how to code. Now it seems quaint that some of the coding classes were in COBOL and FORTRAN. But I have a classmate that is still working for the same payment processing he got a job at in 1995 and still doing COBOL.

This is a specific 4 year degree to become a teacher and the first link that showed up when I was looking for a math teacher (my mom is a retired math teacher)

https://www.ucf.edu/degree/secondary-education-bs/mathematic...

As part of the requirements to become a teacher you have to do student teaching. Would you call this a trade school?

Part of the ranking criteria for how USA Today ranks colleges (not “trade schools”) is getting a well paying job after leaving.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2023/09/18/us-new...

People go to college and get a bachelors with the hope of getting a job with the exception of those getting an undergrad degree with the expectation of doing post grad work for a specialty that requires it with the hopes of learning skills to get a job.

This is a 4 year nursing degree. After passing the exam you are qualified to be a nurse. Again not a “trade school”

https://valenciacollege.edu/academics/programs/health-scienc...

This is GA Tech’s computer science program - again not a “trade school”. They focus on practical skills and “building” things.

I looked up GT because I was accepted here decades ago in their computer science program. But decided on going somewhere else.

https://catalog.gatech.edu/programs/computer-science-bs/

And if you back up a page;

“Focus: building on a base of fundamentals in programming and computational theory to provide a solid foundation of knowledge and skills for applying digital processes effectively to issues of broad interest in a global society.”

Applied learning is the opposite of theory and they teach “programming”.

And here they are focus on “careers” none of which is about getting a PHD or learning for the sake of learning.

https://www.cc.gatech.edu/explore-your-degree

Here is GT’s Applied Physics degree which they specifically call out how it leads to a job and not just theory

I'm also cringing over this. I wondered for a moment if there was a sudden desperate need to raise money, but I think the amount involved won't be enough to matter. I guess there is not much point in asking RMS what is going on.

I guess I was thinking in terms of the patches you push up to github. `jj` is a joy to use and it absolutely enables me to implement workflows that I wouldn't even vaguely consider without it helping me; the big one I think of is the one where you work in a merged dir with like six parents and use `jj absorb` to instantly spread your changes out to the different PRs. I've been forced to do that in git. It was a nightmare and took me two days. Not impossible! Just utterly impractical. `jj` takes end results that were theoretically-possible-but-practically-infeasible and makes them usable. Which I suppose counts as a new capability from the UX perspective. :P
I think this is fair. And I should be clear that I'm not so worried about someone digging to find something stupid I said here on HN. Or in a chat. I'm more thinking about people that are afraid of saying something stupid, to the point that they just don't engage.

I think my mental model is more for chat rooms to take the place of coffee room chats. Ideally, some of those do push on something to happen. I'm not sure that forcing them into the threaded structure of conversations really helps, though?

Maybe it is based on the aim? If the goal is a simulacrum of human contact, then I think ephemeral makes a ton of sense.

I also kind of miss the old tradition of having a "flamewars" topic in newsgroups. I don't particularly love yelling at each other, but I do hate that people can't bring up some topics.

(I also miss some old fun newsgroups. I recall college had Haiku and a few other silly restrictive style groups that were just flat fun.)

So, instead of having my pictures taken by a professional photographer, you recommend that I pay a professional photographer to take my pictures?

We remain alive today after decades of nuclear brinksmanship, because in general, people don’t want to die.

> that ship has already sailed when Linus decided to merge R4L into the kernel

Of course not. Merging the basic infra for Rust didn't come with "it can be used in every single part of the kernel, regardless of what the people maintaining that think"-kind of guarantee. One way to use Rust is to only use it in drivers for example, and it seems Hellwig is not against that: "do that in your driver so that you have to do it".
Better to ask the question: Why do people WANT to believe in the mouth flapping of corporate PR drones?

And it does. Reference counting is garbage collection. And std::shared_ptr, or Rust's Rc/Arc are basically lightweight GC runtimes inside your program.

Just creating them. You have to have an iCloud+ subscription to be able to create them. Anyone can RSVP.

When I think of people I know who have iCloud+ subscriptions, it's mostly people who thought they needed them because of the scary notifications their phones sent them about running out of their initial 5GB of storage (which of course is not enough for any modern phone).

These are not people who are going to download and figure out how to use a new invite app. They are going to keep using evite just like they always have.

There are some people who may use iCloud+ or a bundle because they like the fitness features or have a family that makes it make sense. I probably know some people like this. But I have never had a conversation with anyone about iCloud+, ever in my life. Only dealt with questions from non-tech-savvy family members who were scared about notifications that they were running out of space and needed to "upgrade" to this paid service.
Twitter wasn't purchased for it to make money, it was purchased to get Musk in the Whitehouse.
> There's no trick as far as I can tell.

I think that is the trick.

99 cents is so innocuous, that people set up billing to allow it. People who set up their apple id without a credit card will probably attach a card to their account to get the 99 cent storage "deal".

At that point, upgrading to the next tier is inevitable as phones have been steadily increasing in storage capacity.

I think it would be nicer if your icloud storage capacity matched your primary device.
I’m not trying to what about anything, I’m actually a fairly extreme free speech absolutist.

I’m just pointing out the hypocrisy, the people complaining the loudest are the same people who exuberantly censor people they disagree with.

These type of people have lost moral authority.
I find them pretty good at helping you learn about various libraries or functions and how to apply them, but you still have to have some idea what you're trying to do and how to approach it or it will lead you down a frustrating and hopeless path. So, not yet...
The FBI never made such a statement, and the 51 *former* intelligence officers made a statement that, in their opinion, the laptop contained hallmarks of Russian disinformation, and all of this occurred 2 weeks before the 2020 election for maximum political effect.
> I guess 1 mosquito-year of fully healthy life is 1.3 % as good as 1 human-year of fully healthy life, which is RP’s median welfare range of black soldier flies[1]. So I think 3.92 k mosquito-years of fully healthy life are as good as the additional human welfare from saving 1 life under GW’s moral weights.

This all sounds in earnest. I would say that mosquitos are best utilized as bat food, and I would expect quite a bit of disagreement on the goodness ratio of mosquito-years of life to human-years of life. Fine to kill them fast without suffering, and let's assume they feel pain. But let's not assign any goodness to the viral diseases they bear?
even so it seems like it would eventually be possible to do more safety analysis for zig, if not in the compiler itself:

To be honest I was expecting the article to focus primarily on internal docs, meetings, long Slack posts, etc. Staff engineers spend a relatively small percentage of their time writing code. A lot of what it takes to be successful is knowing how to communicate with different audiences which AI should be really useful for.

this is an interesting read: https://thenetworkstate.com/book/tns.pdf I'm guessing its what all the fuss is about? sure sounds like a great idea, at least for the ones who are hooked into said network right?
If less than 1% means ‘a lot’ to you then sure those are meaningful problems.

But, from my perspective most of what’s going on gets zero attention because it’s boring. I know a lot of small farmers who aren’t struggling because that’s not their primary income it’s just a hobby / lifestyle. Making or losing a few grand per year on a hobby just isn’t that strange, but toss growing food into the mix and people assume it’s more meaningful. Larger operations are run like any other business and some of them fail through mismanagement just like any other businesses.
I am also curios about at least some benchmark even if it is not one-to-one perfect comparison. There should be at least one case-study where they have shorter feedback loop with Zig than with Rust. It would be interesting to see that.
The reason I focus on the memory safety difference is precisely to not minimize its importance. It's far more salient of a difference than whether a language "feels big" or not. Talking about whether Zig requires "a little more manual labor" than Rust is missing the enormous elephant in the room.
“More effective” at what? No one is ever going to be convinced by an argument that begins with an insult. So what do you mean by it will be more effective?

> And yet he is doing that, for example he "deleted" 18F that build the Direct File site for filing taxes.

AFAIK, neither 18F nor Direct File were established by statute, both were set up by executive action within existing legal authority. It's not clear to me that terminating either as functions at executive discretion is illegal.
A lot of times they probably are holding it wrong. These things aren’t mind readers. You have to provide proper context and clear asks. They are just another computer interface to learn to use.

And they aren’t perfect, but they sure can save a lot of time once you know how to use them and understand what they are and aren’t good at.
Defending bureaucracy. What next? Lobbying is good?
Technically the US has never dropped nukes, those were atomic bombs.

Second, don’t understand how the atomic bomb argument makes sense. Germany was developing them and would have used them if it got there first.

Are you suggesting the US really is truly the only nation that would ever have used atomic weapons? That if Japan made it first they would have spared China or the US?
