Oh I'm sorry, that was your shtick. Apologies!

When the shit inevitably hits the fan from the massive amount of orgs they are dismantling, Musk and the DOGE will be used as a political scapegoat by Trump, that's how politics work.

> Mao made use of the group as propaganda and to accomplish goals such as seizing power and destroying symbols of China's pre-communist past ("Four Olds"), including ancient artifacts and gravesites of notable Chinese figures. Moreover, the government was very permissive of the Red Guards, and even allowed the Red Guards to inflict bodily harm on people viewed as dissidents.

Were these the people forcing teachers into public displays of apology called struggle sessions? I remember reading about how physically violent those events were. The foundations of China’s government is the violence and tens of millions of deaths as a result of Mao.

> Ideally, you can constrain the set of inputs to only valid ones by leveraging types. But if that's not possible and a truly invalid input is passed, then you should panic.

But how can the caller know what is "a truly invalid input"? The article has an example: "we unfortunately cannot rely on panic annotations in API documentation to determine a priori whether some Rust code is no-panic or not."

It means that calling a function is like a lottery: some input values may panic and some may not panic. The only way to ensure that it doesn't panic is to test it with all possible input values, but that is impossible for complex functions.

It would be better to always return an error and let the caller decide how to handle it. Many Rust libraries have a policy that if the library panics, then it is a bug in the library. It's sad that the Rust standard library doesn't take the same approach. For println!(), it would mean returning an error instead of panicking.
The criticism here is the system, not the people. And you seem to defend the system which has been proved to be inefficient and shady. You also seem to take this personally which you really shouldn't. People here are also sharing their views and experience and you have to acknowledge that it doesn't have to necessarily reflect yours.
> exporting american citizens would very much fall under "cruel and unusual"

How? I'm not loving this idea, but it's difficult to see why it's cruel or unusual at face value.
As has been noted in the previous comments, I have learned that “It depends” is really the most important artifact of my experience.

Every project, every challenge, every interpersonal relationship, is a unique context. There are global policies, strategies, and structures that apply to most contexts, but there’s always an “outlier,” that throws a curveball, and that won’t fit into the plan.

Experience helps us to handle these out-of-band anomalies. We realize that we have a library of heuristics, as opposed to rules.

“Breaking the rules” is serious stuff. When we are younger, we often lack awareness of the ramifications of our deviations, and can easily make things worse. When we have experience, we can “play the tape through to the end,” and anticipate the results of our decisions, much more clearly, as well as develop long-term transition strategies.
The problem is that we painted ourselves into a this corner long ago. Even if Congress wasn't generally paralyzed by bad-faith partisan fighting, the House and Senate are not equipped to do even a small fraction of what the executive branch does today.

If we removed much of the executive branch's power, it wouldn't be "less efficient". The government just wouldn't do anything.

Some people (current GOP) seems to think this would be a good thing.
El Salvador is a gang-infested shithole because US interventionists backed those who would later lead gangs to stop a left-wing revolution. The Salvadoran government often targeted civilians, and massacred peaceful protestors. Then after the civil war, the same US-backed mercenaries and soldiers who had engaged in massacres and violence came back home, they employed the same terror techniques to build up the gangs and gain power for themselves, exploiting all the displaced peoples, especially the Lost Children of Central America who were kidnapped and raised in the gangs.

It seems that when push comes to shove right now its the young people who are simply removing people who don't kowtow.

Of course it is easy to imagine that the people they are removing are those who made principled stands rather than the corrupt who keep their heads down. As in they are removing the people who thought their job was to serve the public rather than line their own pockets?

It is not clear if that is the effect the chiefs want or not.

(Really) not saying it's a good idea, but if Swedes were required to fill in the paperwork, or even better/worse actually transfer the taxes (maybe including payroll), we would probably be more upset with how our taxpayer money is spent.

If you are politically motivated to minimize the tax burden, it makes sense to be skeptical of direct filing (even if you are not bribed by Intuit).

They used words like ”ultra” high performance, I am not that knowledgeable to confirm this, but is it really that?
I am self hosting on a NAS at home, with Cloudflare in front (which does the most of the work) and Cloudflare tunnels to avoid exposing anything directly. The tunnel communicates with various Docker instances depending on the services.

It works flawlessly for now, and costs almost zero, since the NAS is always on in any case, and Cloudflare is free.

These are all small projects of course, but two of them stayed on HN frontpage for a day and didn't break a sweat.
As we all know, past results ARE an indicator of future performance
Not necessarily. Interpretability of a system used to make decisions is more important in some contexts than others. For example, a black box AI used to make judiciary decisions would completely remove transparency from a system that requires careful oversight. It seems to me that the intent of the legislation is to avoid such cases from popping up, so that people can contest decisions made that would have a material impact on them, and that organisations can provide traceable reasoning.
They don't, Brussels will just produce some 600k undecipherable pages on this topic, waste honest workers money to keep it's bureaucrat caste afloat.

> For actual fascists, it's an indication that he's will support them, and that they should support him.

What actual fascists? That is not a large population segment in modern day. And support for what? He's not running for anything.

> the denial provides them the chance to spill gallons on ink on speculating about his state of mind

The theory is then that he made that hand gesture on purpose, intending to deny it.

Opponents would (as you do) disbelieve any denial and then try to use it against him, which is a significant cost. In exchange for this he would be trying to shore up support among the a) far smaller group of actual fascists who b) were previously on the fence and c) would not remain on the fence even though denying the gesture would be sending mixed signals.

There is no gain from doing that. It's why opponents are the ones talking about it. If doing that was actually to his benefit then opponents would want to be silent about it because publicizing it would be helping him to court the hypothetical large group of fascists who would look favorably on it.

> When someone does one thing, but says another, believe what they do, not what they say.

That's kind of the point. Hand gestures are in the category of saying something rather than doing something.

> There's no ambiguity in this symbol, or what it represents.

The obvious problem here is that the Nazis used "raising your hand" as a symbol.

The most plausible argument that he did it on purpose would be as a troll. Which isn't completely out of character for him, but it still has all of the same negative consequences above with the unambiguous implication of "not worth it".

What I have yet to see whatsoever is any evidence that he supports genocide, internment camps, incarceration without due process or the like. These are the things that make the bad guys the bad guys, not some kind of 5-D chess dog whistle rubbish.
Training that function is not banned. Concentrating information is not banned. I have no idea where you're taking that from.

Only making use (i.e. putting into service a product containing it or placing that product on the market) of that function in a manner that is listed in article 5 (which is quite terse and reasonable) is prohibited unless covered by an exception.

Making use of that function in a manner that may be high-risk (see article 6 and annex III, also quite terse and reasonable) leads to the requirement of either documenting why it isn't high-risk or employing measures to ensure that the risk is acceptable (see article 9, item 5).

A simple, idiot-proof app to install Linux from Windows, aimed at newbies. So when people complain that Linux is too hard to install, I can just point them to the .exe.

The app will be a simple installation wizard, maybe using the Nullsoft system as it's simple and lightweight. It'll ask them some basic questions, like what sort of UI/UX they prefer, whether they play games etc, and how much space they wish to allocate to Linux etc. It will then download the most appropriate distro, make the partitions, AND install the distro right from Windows (maybe using WinBtrfs and extracting the rootfs from the ISO onto the partiton), extract and set up the bootloader etc.

The main question mark for me is how to deal with Secure Boot. Maybe I can have a loop at the beginning which waits until it is disabled by the user (maybe detect the system's make/model/BIOS and display the appropriate instructions)? But I also wonder if asking users to disable Secure Boot is even a good thing, it might give them the false impression that Linux isn't secure, or my app is somehow compromising their PC's security. Probably not a good first impression. If anyone has any ideas on how to handle this bit in a sensible manner, I'm all ears.
> filing tax returns should be kept annoying

That's just plain stupid. Taxes are already annoying enough.

In New Zealand the government makes it really really simple to pay your taxes (automated tax returns for the majority). You can call our tax department on the phone and they answer and they are helpful and they don't seem to screw you. The idea is to make it simple for people and businesses to pay their taxes so that they pay. The IRD is run like a smart business.
With LLMs that even might be automated
Only if he does so in a way that doesn't actually hurt the millions of people who rely on that money. Only if he does so in a way that doesn't dismantle agencies that spread the US's soft power around the world. Only if he does so in a way that's auditable, transparent, and accountable.

Even if he does manage to find his $2T to cut (which I think is pretty unlikely), he will fail at the above metrics.

But sure, it would be cool to be proven wrong on that. I really hope I'm wrong. Otherwise he'll have hurt a ton of people (that he doesn't care about) and will have set the US back on the world stage decades. Not to mention... hello recession... or worse.
> someone else had access to the system before the current changes. What's left to object to?

Those people reported to someone elected, or hired by and confirmed by electeds. His age is irrelevant beyond his lack of government, payments or public financial experience.

(You're correct inasmuch as these systems should not have been built to allow such unauditable access.)

> it doesn't justify the persistent reducto-ad-hitlerum

Totally agree. Some people have been at Defcon 1 since 2016. They're now suffering the fate of the boy who called wolf. But let's remember: in the end, the wolf was real.

This time, the boy isn't guarding his personal flock. He's guarding ours. This kid in the Treasury is fucking with our government and our system of money.

We need to be hypervigilant, specifically, to ensuring we know what these people are looking at, where they're storing it, what they're changing and what they're deleting. If we learn there's fuckery afoot, that calls for breaking norms, conventions and possibly small laws to counter that. Given the political cards, that must happen at the state level. (This is too new. I have no suggestions.)

> the whole exercise seems like more partisan hyperbole

I don't think so. There are laws with teeth this man is violating. The Privacy Act and FISMA were mentioned. If he's accessing anything related to tax returns, that's super criminalised, potentially beyond the reach of a pardon since those records include state filings.

Potentially more problematically, it may not be possible for him to easily prove he didn't fuck with anything illegally. That shouldn't be enough to convict. But it's almost certainly enough to prosecute, if only to produce a public record showing there wasn't evidence that it happened.

Undeniable. And Bobby Kennedy. But, ask yourself why you care more than the deaths of McKinley, or Hoffa or Malcolm X

I maybe said it badly. I think MLKs unanswered questions have more current value, than JFKs because I think they tell us more about morally corrupting behaviour in US institutions. I don't tend to think any US agency paid a part in JFKs assassination, although they bungled the aftermath.

I've been to the book depositary. Sad place. Banal even.
> The academics will love it, because they get money.

Nice way to frame this.
Because if you hire a DevOps after the original meaning then he needs to know AWS (assuming that’s the cloud vendor the company posting is using) DevOps means develop and operate. That was the raging new concept. Since actual sysadmin work of setting up hardware is no longer needed when hosting on AWS. So the developer takes the part of hosting and operation. But now that cloud infrastructure became so damn complicated and all, most DevOps define the dev as developing and maintaining the Zoo of tools and configurations. No time for actual development of the product. This is handled by another team. And we are back full circle to the times before DevOps. Our company still runs the old style of the definition and it is manageable.
