I grew up in Detroit during the fifties and sixties. Afterwards I watched the city decline for a good forty years. Around the time of Detroit's bankruptcy it started to be reborn.

Dan Gilbert gets a lot of the credit because he bought Detroit real estate when no one wanted it. Skyscrapers that had been empty for thirty years or more. People wouldn't consider coming downtown or moving their offices there because of the crime. In response Gilbert formed his own police force and put cameras everywhere. They coordinated with the Detroit force and crime plummeted downtown.

Then the complaints were that sure it was nice downtown but no where else. Then projects started all over the city. Detroit is a very large city which makes fire and policing difficult. There are huge swaths of empty area thanks to federal funding that allowed abandoned and burned down houses to be torn down.

The critics will point out there is still no shortage of crime although the overall numbers are declining. But it is relatively safe downtown, midtown where the sports teams are located. Detroit was at one time the richest city in America, yes ahead of even New York City. Detroit also had the best public city school system in the U.S. at one time though they are near the bottom now. There are a lot of world class museums and architecture. The city is being discovered and rated a top destination by dozens of publications. I'd urge you to make a trip there and discover for yourself.

As for tech, Detroit is only second to Ann Arbor in the state for the number of startups and venture capitalists. Unlike the rest of Michigan Detroit and Ann Arbor are the only cities in Michigan where entrepreneurs run the local community events. Everywhere else in the state its run by economic development organizations that do not understand startups and hinder their forward progress.
DeepSeek had plenty of R&D expertise which were not included in the (declared) model training cost. Here we are talking about building something nearly from scratch, even if there is an open source starting point you still need the infrastructure, expertise and people to make it work, which with that budget are going to be hard to secure. Moreover these projects take months and months to get approved, meaning that this one was conceived long before DeepSeek, thus highlighting the original disalignment between the goal and the budget. DeepSeek might have changed the scenario (I hope so) but it would be just a lucky ex-post event… not a conscious choice behind that budget.

> Have they voted on a single thing yet except the Laken Riley Act?

I mean on things like confirmations, but when bills start coming up reps need to go full on toddler mode and say no to everything.

They need to read the Mitch McConnell book on gumming up the works of government and grind everything to a halt until the madness stops.

> But that aside, I agree that they need to start getting back attention. Being absolutely silent except for individuals saying things that are only reported on Bluesky is not enough to be taking back control of attention.

I completely agree. Social media doesn't help anything, unless they're live streaming themselves daring the people obstructing Treasury to arrest them.

This isn't a "business as usual" moment, this is a five-alarm-fire moment.
You can set panic: abort [1] if you don't want the unwinding mechanism. You still get a nice error message on panic, which causes the compiler to link in some formatting code from the standard library. I'm not sure if you can get rid of that.

On the same page are also the options for controlling debug assertions and overflow checks, which would get rid of the "panics in debug, but not release", if that behavior bugs you

No. Both use Michelson interferometry techonology and that's all, but they differ significantly in purpose and outcome. They're literally different experiments, not one "a better version" of the other.
All of the above. Whether or not one agrees with it, humans have a need for retribution, or as we prefer to call it to feel better about it, justice. And you cannot get retribution on LLMs.
It's disingenious to use "common sense" as your argument. If you wanted to seriously engage then you'd have to critically examine my argument instead of dismissing it with something you pulled from the hoi polloi of common opinion.
>The problem at OpenAI is that the employees were credulous children who took magic beans instead of a board seat. Legally, management is accountable to the board. In serious cultures that believe in accountability, labour demands seats on the board. In VC story-land, employees make do with vague promises with no legal force.

This is not a good description of the incident. The employees I mention in my comment, who quit due to lack of faith in Sam Altman, were presumably on the board's side in the Sam vs board drama.

There is still a chance that OpenAI's conversion to for-profit will be blocked. The site I linked is encouraging people to write letters to relevant state AGs: https://www.safetyabandoned.org/#outreach

I think there's a decent argument to be made that the conversion to a for-profit is a violation of OpenAI's nonprofit charter.

Something is "constitutional" if nine unelected political operatives in black robes with lifetime appointments say it is.

This same court invented prisidential immunity out of thin air. They invented "history and tradition" doctrine out of thin air (and then selectively applied it). They invented "major questsions" doctrine to allow them to act as all three branches whenever they want to.

There is absolutely no opposition to any of this. There are only the perpetrators and the controlled opposition who are 100% complicit with what's going on.

What were the demographics and what exact questions were they asked?

Because I don't see any way to get those numbers unless you basically just survey old people.
Giving their names is hardly doxxing them, especially since they are breaking the law. And if they are government employees, it would still be illegal to hack into sensitive databases, copy data to insecure devices, suspend payments to federal contractors, bar federal employees from their offices, and disband entire agencies.

> Publisher driven esports is advertising.

Yes, of course. E-sports is advertising. All professional sports are advertising. That's what makes money. Sales of tickets, merch, guides, coverage, etc. A successful sport is a self-sustaining money printing machine. Now, traditional sports are "frozen in time" relative to business timescales; meanwhile, in e-sports, it's entirely possible for a company to introduce a new game and turn it into a worldwide phenomenon over a couple of years, and then keep getting a cut from aforementioned money printer for many more years still, all while trying to introduce a new game to keep the money running.

And it's okay, I honestly don't mind. As far as the advertising-driven economy goes, sports (traditional or otherwise) is one of the more benign fields. The problem I see is the relentless focus on building a game optimized for professional play ruins it for vast majority of players, and I fail to see why companies keep doing it instead of bifurcating the multiplayer aspect into "casual play" and "pro play", allowing for the latter while also letting the former have their fun.

> Nobody wants to play multiplayer (only) games with cheaters.

My point is that most of the cheating comes from structuring the game around pro-play. You get a global ladder, which establishes an ordinal ranking that invites cheaters who just want to score higher for less effort. All those cheaters end up ruining the game for regular people, who don't care that much about the ranking. Most of those cheaters would go away if the ladder was removed - but that ladder is critical to the company and wannabe progamers precisely because the top levels of that ladder are a gateway to pro-level play.

You can't eliminate all cheating - there's always some people who, for whatever reason, enjoy ruining the game for others. Fortunately, such people are a very small fraction of the playerbase, and most of them don't enjoy it enough to bother if you throw some small obstacles their way. It's manageable. Competitive rankings, on the other hand, are something cheaters love much more than regular players, so by adding it, you're basically creating the problem.

This is true for all competitive endeavors - the bigger the reward, the more it attracts competitive players, some of which are going to resort to cheating, and attempts at fighting cheating further ruin things for those who don't care about competing in the first place. And yes, it applies to the market economy too.

Having grown up in the Deep South, I feel like every single person in the justice system from police to judge make decisions about you based on how you look and subconsciously decide to not believe facts or allow weak facts to have more weight. Nothing about this question seems outrageous to me whatsoever. And I think that’s the shocking part here.

The only reason I want to do this is because I wipe a Mac nearly weekly, and need it setup more or less the same way again. I could probably just drop the .plist in that directory and bobs your uncle, but I also would change the fonts Script Editor is using to a third-party font not installed, so I don't want to have to worry about weird order of operation BS, and also find a way to set it to any arbitrary font, as I often change out the "fixed width" font I use in all the editors for that week (I have favorites, not just a favorite, gotta keep it fresh, ya know).

I figured that since Script Editor, and the AppleScript components of macOS are so old and creaky, forgotten leftovers in the Yellow Box that no one bothered to fix. I had no idea typedstreams were still being used in modern Apple software.

Why not? Obviously it's heavily modified, but it's not a hard fork: unless something's changed since I last checked, they re-apply their patches on top of upstream LTS releases -- so they very much depend on ongoing kernel development.
The problem with that simplistic reasoning is that helping people in other countries also can help Americans, sometimes in ways they directly helping Americans can't do.

The one that sent me over the edge was this:

A US Bill proposed that could represent jail time for anyone importing AI software/models from China OR exporting AI software/models TO China.

This seemed huge to me, and I genuinely wanted to read the discussion. But when I went back to the post, it had been flagged.

It seems to me there is a concerted effort to stop speech related to certain topics on HackerNews lately.

Hi, I’m Marcin!

For the past two years I've been working as a full-stack developer at a small startup, using the technologies listed above. Prior to that I studied applied math at Harvard and worked as a strategic consultant and operations planner.

I'm a diligent employee who owns his work, proactively surfaces issues and opportunities, embraces feedback and keeps the big picture top-of-mind. I'm also (I think!) an agreeable person with a sense of humor with whom it's pleasant to work.

My current direct supervisor will attest to the above, and I'm happy to share his contact information upon request.

I look forward to meeting and speaking with you!

You get it. To make the concept of accountability operational requires some standard of accounting. The historical accountability for a business agent meant to literally present oneself and provide an explanation. That where the term "accounting" comes from. But different systems have different systems of account. Firm management is accountable to the board via budgets, reports, presentations, and interviews as described in the incorporation documents. Publicly-traded firms are accountable via quarterly filings. Legal disputes require physical presence and verbal interrogation.

But your example of a debugging session or logs and register traces are also an accounting! But not one admissible in traditional forums. They usually require an expert witness to provided the interpretation and voice I/O for the process.

The reason you can't accost the CEO of Boeing isn't because they aren't accountable. It's because they aren't accountable to you! Accountability isn't a general property of a thing, it is a relationship between two parties. The CEO of Boeing is accountable to his board. Your contract was with Delta (or whoever) to provide transport. You have no contract with Boeing.

You are 100% right that the average consumer often zero rights to accountability. Between mandatory arbitration, rights waivers, web-only interfaces, and 6-hour call-centre wait times, big companies do a pretty good job of reducing their accountability to their customers. Real accountability is expensive.

> I can understand anxieties for new entrants in an industry that historically has been solid and reliable alongside high-paying

I started in tech in the 90's. Between 1994-2014 I worked _way_ more than most people in most industries because IT (and management) is one of those exempt labor categorizes. High-paying, sure... but when you spend a decade or two working 50-55 hours a week the hourly rate ain't so good. :)
Not the point. The point is to signal (to stand against, to protest) that what the current wankers in charge are doing, shredding up what little decency was left in Washington, is not normal, is wrong, and moving the needle one more small notch towards fascism.

Well, if they did that, then people could expect/demand stability with regard to what scenarios get the checks/panics optimized out. This would be a bit of a burden for the Rust maintainers. It would effectively make the optimizer part of the language specification, and that's undesireable.

The thing about Trump and Musk is that they both believed the other to be a convenient fool. It will definitely be interesting to see who lasts longer.

I'd bet on Musk as he has better connections among the Silicon Valley elite that are propping up this administration. Plus, the way that Trump is rubber-stamping everything Musk does as soon as he hears about it seems to suggest which one is actually in charge.

Think of an umbrella, and imagine something like it, only much bigger.

Like the girder-mast of a crane, optionally unfolding like a telescoping boom by means of scissors mechanism.

Maybe with some 'tensegrity' sprinkled on.

Spokes along its length folding out.

Some very thin, highly reflective foil stretched tight over these.

Shaped into a parabolic mirror.

Producing one fucking hot focal point, like a looking glass in the sun.

Embiggen or multiply as needed, necessitated by distance from the sun.

Why would that be? There is gravity and atmosphere here, which can't be applied in the same ways 'up there', and probably wouldn't make sense to, anyways.

Mshc – Minimal Self-Hosted Compiler
In the US you can just adopt a new name, so long as you're not doing it for a fraudulent purpose (and obviously not by stealing someone elses identity). In this case, sure, he was ... _in the 1970s_. The initial name change was a crime but it was not a particularly significant one and it was a very long time ago.

It appears that the ongoing modern use was completely harmless except for the fact that the real owner of the name was brought into the legal system over it. But why did that happen?

You don't have to agree with my view on the identity theft to recognize that the question of why the real Mr. Woods was put under the thumb of the law is an interesting and relevant one.

> TLDR, most modern tetris games, including tetris 99 select a permutation of the 7 unique pieces every 7 pieces; this means even though Tetris 99 shows you the next 6 pieces, you may know more about the next pieces.

Wait, is this true?

I always assumed each piece was selected perfectly randomly, making it possible (though rare) to get the same piece 3 times in a row.

If what you're saying is true, then that mean there should never be more than 12 pieces between I pieces, and if you get two in a row, then it'll be a minimum of 6 before you see another.

Which...all seems within the realm of possibility. Tetris always seemed really good at having a very even spread of pieces without "streaks".
