No, not equally.

Let’s assume the decision to investigate an inappropriate number of test animals dying (per internal complaints) is completely political. That investigation is just one of many by the inspector… perhaps the others are in most Americans’ interests. And still Musk and government have millions of dollars of contracts in shares interest.

Now let’s assume the inspector’s firing was a political move by Musk. All of the other non-connected investigations which may have positive impact are without a lead. And Musk’s other interests in the government are still very much intact.

And finally where are the checks and balances when there is no threat of losing re-election.
In the US, you can't run anything but analog voice on the bands you can use somewhat freely (CB, GMRS, FRS etc). On the amateur bands, you can run digital voice but you can't apply encoding for the purpose of obscuring the meaning of a communication.

You can do this on land mobile frequencies, but unless you're an organisation, you won't meet the eligibility requirements to be granted a licence by the FCC.

Your only other lawful option is one of the 900MHz FHSS solutions, though I don't think any of these offer robust encryption.
No refactoring tools, lack of autocomplete, having multiple targets break compilation, errors in the ui, crashes running unit tests, it freaks out when switching git branches, spm can’t handle proxy servers, never ending indexing… List goes on and on.

>In 1865, Robert E. Lee wrote to a former Confederate soldier concerning his signing the Oath of Allegiance, and I quote: "This war, being at an end, the Southern States having laid down their arms, and the questions at issue between them and the Northern States having been decided, I believe it to be the duty of everyone to unite in the restoration of the country and the reestablishment of peace and harmony."

The Civil War is over, it ended over a century and a half ago. I again, sincerely, ask you to screw off with that false narrative which serves only to divide and weaken the unity and solidarity of the country.
People who are "programmers by coincidence" and think that commit messages or unit tests are a chore and they just do it to satisfy orders from other devs are the first who think have the AI do it is a good idea.

There's a reason people feel TDD is hard if they don't want to think about properly modeling their problem. Reducing duplication and finding a good human computer interface with AI is great but if you just don't want to think at all, you'll just dump crap on the next guy and it's natural that you're "worried about being replaced by AI".
This actually looks promising...
It's pretty much as simple as this. Everything he's done so far has been a petty attempt to get revenge on people he perceives as his political enemies. This isn't some vast conspiracy to avoid fact checking. He's got a checklist of the people and institutions who he thinks made him look silly last time, and he's just going down the list. Somehow, none of this vengeance is improving the price of eggs, either.

It should also be noted that uses of guns in self defense (e.g. “pulling a gun”) not involving any injuries or deaths are not well-tracked (though they’re estimated to be much more frequent than instances involving bodily harm).

My take (launched Samsung Galaxy device series in the US, did work for Nokia/HTC/LG/etc.)... the ad business was always based on attention dominance through search.

Android has performed its primary function - preventing the exclusive dominance of mobile including operator relations by Apple, which threatened Google's attention dominance.

Chrome the platform (minimal cloud-oriented laptop OS) has gone nowhere.

Fitbit (wearable fitness monitor) is a dead leading product in a dead market in an era of smart watches. We had one free and never used it.

Nest (smart home controller) has filled its niche, the 'smart home' never eventuated, most people are happy flicking a light switch once a day and living without remote-accessible CCTV with doorbell integration.

Pixel (Google phone) was only ever a US product.

The problem now for Google is AI is a better search engine. Google's search business is dead unless they upgrade their offering immediately. They get one chance at this (at least, rolling upgrades for <12 months). If they screw up, the company's value will deflate rapidly.

Crystal balling, I would see through this a cashflow freeze also for Alphabet hardware plays like Wing which seem to be bloated operations with multinational presence and no revenue stream, and mutually inconsistent messaging (re. building "aircraft library" vs. "specific aircraft required for specific cargo due to physics" vs. biggest headline partner = Walmart = highly varied cargo requirement).
We do the same thing but slightly differently. If a new docker image is built, we deploy that image. If the config changes, an ansible job moves that config to the target host and the service is restartet with that new config file. Configs are mounted inside containers. It all runs on GitLab CI/CD.
I think most people feel like the Sun Microsystems products all got worse after the Oracle purchase. E.g., Solaris, Java.

It's prolly gonna be hard to find any specific metrics to show that, though. But I remember everyone thinking that all of the Sun offerings had gotten worse after the acquisition. And OpenSolaris got axed altogether, of course. And Java had a series of security embarrassments.
They're going to either shut down payments for certain programs they want to eliminate or they're going to use some kind of AI to detect "fraudulent" payments and block them. And everything without any oversight or recourse.

You've accused a few users of this. It's a small site. I Think we're just noticing when there's an oddly hostile take on C# that's light on details, it's you.

I don't use C#, so I'm curious about your perspective. I'm still waiting for substantive answers to your thoughts on things (like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42873130) and not just mud slinging.

What's a good way to be an "Archivist" on a low budget these days?

Say you have a few TBs of disk space, and you're willing to capture some public datasets (or parts of them) that interest you, and publish them in a friendly jurisdiction - keyed by their MD5/SHA1 - or make them available upon request. I.e. be part of a large open-source storage network, but only for objects/datasets you're willing to store (so there are no illegal shenanigans).

Is this a use case for Torrents? What's the most suitable architecture available today for this?
> even if it was ruled illegal, who’s going to enforce it

The court that ruled it such. She would not only be entitled to back pay, anything her replacement does wouldn’t have legal force. That means anything they do can be challenged by anyone who doesn’t like it.

We’re seeing the limits of Congressional checks on the executive. But we still have an independent judiciary. (If that collapses it will be a good time to be a billionaire in America.) The judiciary’s advantage is its patient; it can exact consequences after 2028 in a way the executive and even the Congress cannot.
Reading this it’s not clear - how well integrated is swift build with swift’s tooling and language server? I know the language server has been open source for a while now. Having them be separate seems like it would create issues with duplicate code.
You don't have to wonder. Just observe what is going on in so-called liberal democracies of the world while identity politics is implemented by governments: censorship, redefinition of words, inventing new moral issues to shutdown inconvenient facts and such.
I've been using the Kill-Sticky Chrome extension for years:

https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/kill-sticky/lekjlgf...

Because it has a configurable keyboard shortcut.

Can't imagine browsing the web without it. At this point hitting Cmd+K when I visit an article is pure reflex.

A bookmarklet would be more secure, but I don't know of a way to assign keyboard shortcuts to one.
None of your suggestions allow for a movement in space. I haven't actually ran the calculations^ myself, but most of your "complaints" are wrt to energy efficiency. And that won't matter (too much), if we overbuild production capacity. Upthread someone claims that mines could benefit from hydrogen simply because they are not permitted to produce any more CO2. That would make this niche a realistic target, where you need to move energy.

And yes, in that scenario I would absolutely expect all your alternative suggestions to be deployed already. But we are also just starting to have excess production at all.

^ I also don't think those are possible right now, as the number of electrolysis apertures would need to increase by orders of magnitudes (plural)
Say more about how the CFPB was illegal? It was created by an act of Congress.
I gather that I'm further right than much of the HN crowd, having been on the edge of the Tea Party movement &c.

The presence of the Citrus Caesar and the billionaire boys is due to substantial, ongoing problems. The U.S. Government, like any code base, has accrued much cruft over the last century. Whether or not DJT has any lasting positive effect isn't knowable yet.

The risk of this current course being a cure worse than the disease is substantial. The two things to keep in mind in any case are:

- trust, but verify

- look for the substantive reform, not lipstick on the pig
> Based on my research, the earliest computer to use the term "main frame" was the IBM 701 computer (1952)

I must conclude it takes the competition 10 years to catch up to IBM, and IBM about 20 years to realize they have competition. Setting a countdown timer for IBM to launch an LLM in 2040.

Commits are annoying to write is in the same space as "variable names are annoying to write".

Communicating intent should be trivial or, if it's not, put effort into it because communication with that future dev may be essential .

Now, maybe some bullet points may suffice and quickly be reshaped by AI to make it more succinct and clear but you still should make the effort. The more you do it, the more it becomes an easy part.

The problem is when you copy and paste the same info in slightly different ways in many places and I can appreciate some form of suggestion around "you missed explaining why you want to change this part".

There's a space for AIb but it isn't "so that I don't need to think".

> Was that what you are thinking I'm advocating for?

No, I'm just pointing out that even a "fair" analysis of Go is going to catch some pretty serious design mistakes.

> Assuming that you are not going all in specific design patterns from functional programming, of course.

Eh, Java cerca 2008 (before Go was released) lacked most of the functional programming features it has today, and it was abundantly clear that generics were a critical feature for Java then--I was writing Java professionally at the time, albeit as a paid intern. While template types aren't exactly the same thing, they fulfill many of the same needs and were pretty obviously a critical feature for C++ before that. Go's developers were abundantly familiar with C++, and likely abandoned templates because they're slow to compile, but they literally could have Googled "how to compile template types faster" and found generics pretty easily.

At a high level, my big criticism of Go is that they simply did not stand on the shoulders of the giants before them. Their goals make a lot of sense. But they pretty much only tried ideas from C++ and Python which indicates to me that they didn't know any other languages, and where C++ and Python have problems, they reinvented the wheel, mostly badly. I guess garbage collection was one exception as it's in neither C++ nor Python, but that's sort of a surface-level feature of a ton of languages. If they had any deeper experience with other languages I think they'd have stolen a lot more ideas, and better ideas. There are a dozen textbooks on comparative programming languages that would have easily given better solutions to some of Go's problems.

The one thing they did right initially was trying to keep few features, but if you do that you need to choose more powerful features than they did, otherwise "simple" just means the simple language results in complex code to work around the language's neutered feature set. Now they're filling in those gaps with the features they needed initially, and I'd predict that within a few years Go will no longer be a simple language--arguably it already isn't.

> Like pretty much any parameter in any language? That's abstraction.

It’s crappy abstraction. Why make every user of the interface figure out how to use it properly? And guess what functions are required and which are always available?

Rust traits seem like a strictly better tool here. You get exactly the same emitted code as anytype, but the expected interface is explicit and well documented. Any time a trait name appears, you can cmd+click the trait name and see what functions are parts of the trait. It’s clean and explicit.

And traits can also have associated types (eg for an error type). They can have default implementations of functions. You can store a trait object in a struct. And you can use &dyn Trait if you want dynamic dispatch instead of monomorphisation. If this article is anything to go by, Zig makes all of this stuff difficult to impossible.

Anytype only solves the problem for the compiler. Traits solve the problem for the compiler and the programmer at the same time.
For what it's worth, there's a thriving liberal rationalist-adjacent community on Twitter that despises people like Roko.
> Sure, if you never need to deal with actual low-level high-performance systems code.

What are you talking about? It's perfectly possible to write high performance code in C++ without violating the basic idioms if its type system. How would that even help? It sounds like you had some past project where you just didn't have the imagination to come up with a workable design. That's not my (or C++'s) fault.

The irony is, your comment reads as though you're defending C++ against my criticism of it. But actually your assertion that you have to violate move semantics to get performance out of C++, if that made the slightest but of sense, would be more of a criticism than anything I said.

Thanks for the reply. I just figured I'd try it and see, and the bzip3 results are extremely good. I figured it was worth trying because a fair bit of the data in that image is non-binary (man pages, config files, shell/python code), but probably the bulk of it is binary (kernel images, executables).
Laws and Constitution amendments were written and passed to exclude ex-Confederates from the democratic process, but they were rendered moot once everyone calmed down and realized it was better for the country to reunite as one nation.

These false narratives villifying and dividing the country long after the Civil War concluded are nonsense.
That's called irony.
why -1? kinda blown away i got downvoted on HN.
That's actually a wonderful question! In terms of trends, I see the following:

1. GPUs are most likely at their limit in terms of FLOPs - float4 / FP4 is most likely the "final" low precision data-type. NVIDIA might provide 1.58bit support or FP2, but unlikely. If there was FP2, it might make it 1.5x faster.

2. Shrinking transistors might still have some room to go, but don't expect 2x or 4x faster - the majority of speedups was in tensor cores and low bit representation.

3. We might get more interesting transformer archs since DeepSeek showcased their unique arch for R1 / V3.

Due to these, I would first wait and see - ie I would actually wait until the next OSS model release say Llama 3, Gemma 3, etc and see what the large model labs are focusing on, then maybe I would wait for RTX 50 Super or a cheaper version or even RTX 60x series. Larger VRAM is always better.

SSD is good, but not that important - RAM is more important.

This mistaken belief that government works like a corporation is the essence of fascism. Corporations are inherently authoritarian, government should not be.

There is radiative cooling paint that in addition to reflecting most light radiates heat in wavelengths that don't get absorbed by the atmosphere. That makes them cooler than ambient temperature when they are under the open sky.
