No, what they're doing is skipping the movie, saving up money, hiring a lawyer, so mom loses the right to say "don't spend it on weed".
It’s all spelled out in the project 2025 doc that was widely publicized as the game plan.

Also, trump was impeached last time because he tried to shut down funding approved by congress. So, if you’re surprised it’s happening again, I suppose you can’t be helped

I'd been using 4o and 3o to read research papers and ask about topics that are a little bit out of my depth for a while now. I get massive amount of value out of that. What used to take me a week of googling and squinting at wikipedia or digging for slightly less theoretical blog posts, I get to just upload a paper or transcript of a talk and just keep asking it questions until I feel like I got all the insights and ah-ha moments.

At the end, I ask it to give me a quiz on everything we talked about and any other insights I might have missed. Instead of typing out the answers, I just use Apple Dictation to transcribe my answers directly.

It's only recently that I thought to take the conversation I just had, and have it write a blog post of the insights and ah-ha moments I had, and have it write a blog post. It takes a fair bit of curation to get it to do that, however. I can't just say, "write me a blog post on all we talked about". I have to first get it to write an outline with the key insights. And then based on the outline, write each section. And then I'll use chatgpt's canvas to guide and fine-tune each section.

However, at no point do I have to specifically write the actual text. I mostly do curation.

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, and it's the result of a curated conversation with 4o. In addition, I think if most people do this as a result of their own Socratic methods with an AI, it'd build up enough training data for next generation of AI to do a better job of writing pedagogical explanations, posts, and quizzes to get people learning topics that are just out of reach, but there hadn't been too many people able to bridge the gap.

The Outlook Web team @ Microsoft; it shipped with IE5.

Someone else (future you being a distinct person) will also need to grok what's going on when they maintain the code later. By living purely in a high-dimensional trans-enlightenment state and coding that way, means you may as well be building a half-assed organic neural network to do your task, rather than something better "designed".

Neural networks and evolved structures and pathways (e.g. humans make do with ~20k genes and about that many more in regulatory sequences) are absolutely more efficient, but good luck debugging them.
Affordability would be adversely affected in the short term, yes. In the long term, more housing production would be incentivized in less-risky areas. The reduced property prices to come out of this would also mean insurance rates would decrease for them proportionally— insuring for $600k is cheaper than insuring $6m, all else being equal.

On the other hand, affordability will also be adversely affected in the short and long term if nothing changes. Once the moratorium for insurance companies to leave the state is up in about 1 year, and no one can get a mortgage because no insurance providers are left. Banks will not take on the implicit roles of insurers in a no-recourse loan state.

Doing nothing is not an option. The writing is on the wall.
We know from fossil evidence that spotted hyenas used to live in egypt but died out there about 5000 years ago. The striped hyena remained.

This was not some improbable random event that took 5000 years to be observed. Climate change recently created a new corridor of acceptable conditions that allowed a hyena from a distant region to migrate.
Ton of people are working on it,

but forget the focus on automating air traffic control, datalink, complex ground IT, remote controls.. That is way to costly and difficult to do in the context of a collection of decentralized legacy systems.

Instead most people are trying to get rid of paper strips (notes used by ATC), and sell complex system that try to automate conflict management.

The hard thing is to improve the UX, the ATC has to communicate with humans (hard even with the highly codified language used), and DO NOT want to solve technical issues, the system has to indicate potential conflicts well in advance but not nag for it at a bad time. They are a lot of human factors to take in consideration and a system well designed with the air traffic controller at the center of it could help a lot.
I've been saying this for quite a while. My entire life, the executive branch has gone in only one direction-- constantly accumulating power. It's all fun and games until you have an executive that you don't like, and then... well...

There's a reason we have a constitutional separation of powers, and we need to keep it that way.
Well, Biden tried to not spend money to build a wall on the border. And he essentially ran out the clock in that one, so I guess there has been recent success.
Yes, I used xcancel.com after it started appearing online. It's good, maybe it's because of it that Nitter came back.
According to CBP, last year there were only 43 pounds of fentanyl seized on the northern border. The problem is almost entirely a Southern border problem. So it seems crazy to punish Canada. Also India is responsible for many precursors but are not named.
Ideally. That is made more difficult to do in our current 2 party system that is also gerrymandered. The snowball has been rolling for along time and has both mass and momentum in its favor.
This is actually accurate. While Rust is a great replacement for C, so is C++. But Rust has tons of extra features that C doesn't have, just like C++. Moving from C++ to Rust is a sideways move. Moving from C to Rust is definitely an increase in complexity and abstraction.

Rust is a great replacement for C++ as it fits into the same place in the stack of tools.

Go is not a C or Python replacement.

Zig is a good replacement for C.
Do you expect such development in the case of the current president?
with the voting system present in the US, it is essentially impossible for a 3rd party to come into existence that has any hope of significant federal or even state level power.
>include the ability not just to read but to write code on two of the most sensitive systems in the US government.

...

>All that is known is that Marko can “access and query” SPS and that there was someone who gave Marko a “tour” of the facilities. We do not know where they are in operationalizing any control. One senior IT source can see Mark retrieving “close to a thousand rows of data” but they can’t see the content because the system is “top secret” even to them. No source I have has knowledge of what DOGE is doing with the data they are retrieving.

So the (d)evil remains hidden in every one of their details! What does 'write code' actually mean? A DB query? What exactly are these 'most sensitive' systems in the US government? A COBOL DB??

Compare the backups.

You DO have them off-site?
Ah yes, because if Congress is slow to act, the obvious solution is to hand unilateral power over federal spending to checks notes an unelected billionaire posting memes at 3AM while holed up with a group of junior engineers who've never worked in government.

Your frustration with congressional inefficiency has somehow led you to endorse bypassing the Constitution entirely. That's like saying 'my kitchen remodel is taking too long, so I'll just let this random guy on Twitter demolish my house.
> It has a great feature that grabs context from the codebase, I use it all the time.

If only this feature worked consistently, or reliably even half of the time.

It will casually forget or ignore any and all context and any and all files in your codebase at random times, and you never know what set of files and docs it's working with at any point in time
Oh, I know who makes it. :) I bought it too. Discerning taste in fonts you have there!
michpoch stated a universal definition of the west. I stated it depends on context. You agree it depends on context evidently.

Racism is not the sole exception. Most Japanese people do not consider themselves western in most contexts. Including xenophiles.

I'm not an ATC, but I think there's a clear need for awareness of potentially conflicting traffic. If you divide that traffic over more people, you need to add communication between the controllers in a way that you don't when it's all handled by a single person.

That's not to say there's not ways to divide it up, but it's not always easily divisible. Well implemented technology can help, but poorly implemented technology can hurt, so everything needs to be done slowly and carefully.

I don't know why you think we're talking about legality when this whole thread was about biology. The legal status of one's sex is supposed to follow from biology, but the point is that this is an imperfect process at this time.

As for the legal issues, nobody supports "discrimination" in an abstract sense, but the point is that there's a strong difference of opinion on what counts as "discrimination". If "sense of identity" is all that's needed to trigger some discrimination clause, a quality that cannot be verified physically in any way at this time, then that's a recipe for abuse by bad actors.
Nice to know HNers don’t read past the first word. Can’t say I am surprised.
I’ve been reading a lot about comptime in Zig and it’s really cool, it unifies and simplifies a lot of metaprogramming concepts that normally end up being the ugliest and clunkiest parts of most languages.

I’ve been immersed in Swift for a couple years after working as a Go programmer, and I find myself pining for a language that’s more expressive than the latter and more concise than the former.
Pinch is the worst of both possibilities. It doesn’t describe what it does, but it’s also not a catchy memorable “brand-like” name like Google either.
Nothing to see here except weak whataboutism. There’s no obvious sign that other models, like those from OpenAI or Anthropic, do anything unusual to bias answers about the US or Europe in a positive direction. This is similar to other whataboutism I see on DeepSeek related discussions, where someone brings up the Israel-Gaza conflict as some kind of criticism of America and OpenAI that justifies whatever DeepSeek and China do. Comparing the vast censorship built into DeepSeek by design (http://promptfoo.dev/blog/deepseek-censorship/), with models that are simply providing neutral answers based on the data they were trained on, is ridiculous.
I'm in my mid 40s, my friends mostly use email for organising events more than a week or two in the future, google chat or WhatsApp for more spontaneous things.

Very occasional FB invites for things when casting the net wide, like, I'm back in town and having a picnic, everyone come.
That's a legit take. But I also think PG conveys his point poorly. He uses terms like "no one" and "dangerous" - and even "dead" - in a non-standard way without clarifying their meaning. Perhaps the meaning was more obvious to members of the startup scene in the 2000s, but then he's tying himself into a subcultures's perspective, which I feel is just as problematic.
I do not have to wait 4 years, if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it is most likely a duck.

The fact that he is "governing" through EOs, - many of those will be challenged in court, I guess, but in the meantime they still stand valid - is not being done in a respectful way. An example, regular citizens working for Trump having access to not only read but also write on the federal payment system https://www.crisesnotes.com/day-five-of-the-trump-musk-treas...

Another example - denying multiple times actual science, since the scientist are amongst one of the groups he blames

One of my favorite attributes about left-wing activism is that the solution to everything is to overthrow the system. It's like the whole "we have tech debt; we need to rewrite everything". Zero threat.
I dont know, this is literally what beavers do. I think you are really selling the beavers short here.

I mean they've been evolving and being naturally selected to optimize for this specific activity for eons.

You wouldn't expect the government to be better at making honey than bees? Better at swimming and catching fish than a dolphin? Better at making silk than silk worms?

If I was going to be #2 at Dam building I'd want to be #2,to beavers.

Sounds good! Maybe you can start a business and have a low-stakes regional airport work with you. I think the main way to do it is as an add-on/assistant for the existing toolset.
The USA is the opposite of pluralistic. No third party has managed to build any serious political infrastructure at the local level and expand it regionally or nationally. That's why there are so many frivolous third party candidates for president; they're desperate to get a percentage of votes that will generate some federal funding to sustain organizational growth, and running for President is one of the few ways to get sufficient attention for that nationally.
That's actually an interesting plan! That totally might work

You can't just drop a tidbit like that without elaborating.
As I understand it, many Americans (and all iPhones?) had unlimited-SMS phone plans circa 2009. So the pay-per-message economic conditions that caused many Europeans, etc., to switch to WhatsApp back in the day didn't do anything in the USA.

Then when the same iPhone app seamlessly started sending iMessages (blue bubbles) to other iPhones rather than SMS (green bubbles), people just kept using that.
We have a family email domain for my extended family, administered by a few retired but very tech-savvy relatives (both had long IT careers) and it’s roughly 50:50 whether a message sent to everyone@ lastname.com will actually show up in people’s inboxes or not. It’s probably 75:25 that a reply all to that list will show up, but modern email is a dumpster fire.
Looks neat, but I won't use it or recommend it to anyone because it's built with Flutter.

I understand your reasons for choosing it, but that does not change that Flutter apps feel completely _wrong_ on any platform except Android, but most especially on iOS/macOS and the web. (This is unsurprising because Flutter is essentially a modern day implementation of Swing complete with personalities, and it's just as incorrect in its styling as Swing was. It's worse for the web because Flutter explicitly eschews standard web technologies in favour of either one big canvas or lots of little canvases.)

Best of luck.
You missed state-level action. The president cannot intervene in such matters (at least not in any legal, direct sense).
Chat in English? Sure. But there is a better way. Make it a game to see how little you can specify to get what you want.

LLMs have wide "understanding" of various syntaxes and associated semantics. Most LLMs have instruct tuning that helps. Simplifications that are close to code work.

Re precision, yes, we need precision but if you work in small steps, the precision comes in the review.

Don't forget get your stock on and index that almost all retirement funds are required to put money into every month versus the old school stock market where it was a market not a cable bill (you have to pay for the whole bundle if you want it or not).
because that's hard. also it's one choice I respect them for not making: don't self host until you have actual users and momentum (unless you want to to prove a point). if Roc intends to have industry usage, keeping it in another language for now is a good move.
You'd probably have to go through a similar set of bureaucratic steps to get that done.
Those other domains might be seriously limited in scope and number though!
"It would be cool if anti-Trump right would stop blaming everyone but themeselves."

I agree, but from where I stand to the left, the Democrats -are- the anti-Trump right.

"It should not be responsibility of democrats to become moderate republicans."

I also agree with this, and I think that they would have won if they had not tried to be come GOP-Lite.

"It would be cool if anti-Trump right would stop blaming everyone but themselves. Especially when those anti-Trump people voted for Trump second time."

It'd be cool, from my far-left anti-war, pro-LGBTQ+, anti-capitalist position, if the Democrats would "stop blaming everyone but themselves." Especially when they keep losing because they don't run moderate right-wing candidates who don't represent their constituencies- that's explicitly the reason why they lost, not because a lot of folks voted for DT, but because a big chunk of folks realized that they weren't served by voting for Harris.

The Dems didn't have to run Harris. Or they could have setup a platform to appeal to the folks who ultimately didn't trust her.

But they didn't do those things and they lost an election they could have won.
> "there may be a reason for me to get an iPhone now as I assumed this would be available on apple devices only."

That's the objective. Green text and all. To force everyone to adopt one platform because of network effects and social stigma.

These platform plays by the god tier trillion dollar companies are insidious and should be given scrutiny by the DOJ / FTC.

A breakup of these platforms would make none of this matter. You could pick and choose services across devices. We might even see some competition for Android and iPhone if the DOJ would step in and break this up.

Big tech is too big. A breakup would oxygenate the entire tech sector. It would probably even make the MAGMA stock go up because the sum of parts are being given away for free just to get eyeballs.

Billions of dollars are being given away for free to scrape in network effect advantages. It's at a level where competition from new players is virtually impossible. They can tax anything that moves. Every transaction, every relationship, every quanta of information.
It's not about front-running investments _in_ passive index funds, it's about front-running investments _by_ passive index funds, which, of course, ultimately comes out of the investors' wallets.

As a practical matter, since dealing in mutual funds' shares is settled after market, "front running" these transactions would be problematic. (Impossible, I'd say?)

My experience is similar: great for boilerplate, great for autocomplete, starts to fall apart on complex tasks, doesn't do much as far as business logic (how would it know?)- All in all very useful, but not replacing a decent practitioner any time soon.

LLMs can absolutely bust out some corporate docs super crazy fast too... probably a reasonable thing to re-evaluate the value though

Most people consider neglect evil in my experience.
There is still a lot of "spam" if you don't spend the effort creating filters or unsubscribing to the new notification list that companies like to make every few months. Hell, my inbox is covered in invoices, receipts, disclosures, required actions, ToS changes, etc., even though I've spent some time setting up filters for some of the common receipts.
I had an issue where the corporate spyware thought my cross compiler was potential malware and running scans on every file access. My compile times went from a few seconds to 2 minutes. And my codebase has a dozen targets. Where building, fixing, running tests, checking in would take half and hour it now took the whole afternoon.

I think I'd rather stick with C and run static analysis tools on my code when generating release candidates than have to deal with that.
I‘m not talking about good and bad but about naive.

„Yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.“

Propaganda and disinformation were problems before the AI hype but now it got worse.

In the race for AGI they ignored the risks and didn‘t think of useful counter measures.

It’s easier to spread lies with AI than to spread the truth.

We enter dark aged where most people can’t distinguish fake from real because the faked became so convincing.

Audio, photo and video lost their evidential value.
