I think you need to admit HN is failing due to how easy it is to manipulate what content and comments are shown. Allows a single determined group to literally control the narrative. Eliminate upvotes/downvotes. Keep flagging but make it public record. And revoke privileges for those who abuse it.
I was once very skeptical of the amyloid hypothesis, but I think the genetic evidence is very convincing. Most (all?) cases of familial early onset AD are caused by mutations that increase amyloid. And there is a rare variant of the amyloid gene that is completely protective against AD. Plus the efficacy of Leqembi.
> More generally, a large segment of the population outsources their thinking

Absolutely. I find myself sometimes being tempted to just ask Claude for the most vanal things. It's going to get more and more tempting.
That's funny. We introduced essentially this features in OCaml Batteries Included ~20 years ago. This brings back memories :)

Résumé/CV: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rlberger/

Full-stack web developer with 5+ years experience. I've been doing hobby coding for Internet Archive's Open Library (https://github.com/internetarchive/openlibrary/pulls?q=is%3A...) while completing a MSc in Urban Studies. My main project right now is Urbanism Now, a weekly urbanism rounderup newsletter to bring the best ideas from around the world to inspire action where you (c)are. https://urbanismnow.com/

I'd be interested in something at the intersection of urban issues (mobility, housing, construction, sustainability, food systems, etc) and prefer to work contract but willing to work full time for the right job. If you're working at the intersection of urban issues and tech drop me a note even if you're not hiring so I can follow along.
I'm the author. No, I completely disagree. No one ever complains about logs and malloc except having too much of them - A line I removed from this article

The next article has examples and IMO much better, but makes no mention of action at a distance, and currently makes no mention of how people use clone to prevent mutability.
No, you might even be right that I have a "victim complex", given that my country is currently being victimized by the current US administration's pointless desire for a trade war. I'm especially hot under the collar at the moment.

But I would still maintain that this site's culture reflects the Silicon Valley finance culture it came from, and it's not a pretty culture.
When you ask yourself why the Democratic Party doesn't in fact do things that you think would be obvious ways to further it's goals and purpose, over and over again, for generations, you might want to start pondering this concept:

There is no reward for finding falsified data. If there were, we'd find a lot more.
Wow, I was so convinced that it was the case that I thought you were mistaken. They look remarkably similar. But yeah, just another game in that genre like you said.
When they're as young as literally 19 years old, then it must be the case that they lack the appropriate experience.
You're saying that elected officials may operate as kings ordained by the will of the people. But they were willed into office, not willed into supreme power.

There are still laws. But you make a case for "might is right"
I think it's fine if code is difficult for newcomers to understand (of course, to a point). Most programmers are taught in C-like languages and paradigms. Using FP (ML-like) languages is already "difficult to understand".

The question then becomes: how large is the disconnect between the "theory" in the mind of the newcomer(s) vs. the "theory" they need to be useful in the codebase -- and is this gap worth it?

For example, programming with explicit effects (i.e. `IO`) or even just type-safe Futures. There's not too much difficulty with simply getting started, and it builds up a general theory of effects in the newcomer, which would presumably be useful in many contexts of the codebase even outside of async effects, e.g. error-handling with `Either`.
But is it?
Kinda struck a nerve because I was using an llm to help get me unstuck just as I saw that comment
It's likely already planned, but testing for radioactivity in wastewater too would likely detect any released radioactive material that didn't impact tap water.
There are people in this thread claiming that Wired "doxxed" these engineers working for Musk dismantling things they don't understand; however didn't Musk publicly mock individual federal employees on his twitter account, drawing the eyes of millions onto random government functionaries for no other reason than to capriciously taunt them about being fired?

I hope people condemning the former also condemn the latter.
I disagree. This is the outcome of someone who doesn't believe in the law acting accordingly. If there are no consequences, the law is immaterial. If the law is to remain intact, show up with force and enforce it. Checks and balances within the branches of federal government.

Edit: DOJ Says Administration Doesnt Have to Follow Court Order Halting Funding Freeze - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42923302

So much for checks and balances I suppose.
The exploit doesn't work in a VM.
The way they're going there might not be a government much longer. I really do believe they're that stupid.

The entire stock market is premised on the stability of the US government. Without it all their wealth would disappear overnight. All the luxuries they love would cease being produced. They wouldn't be able to fly their private jets anywhere.

In the past the rich could stockpile easily-tradable goods like gold in order to maintain a luxurious life even if their government collapsed. When it comes to billionaires that's not possible. The logistics of keeping and moving that much physical currency/gold/etc don't work out in their favor.

If they keep this up they're going to lose almost all of their wealth as the world destabilizes. They're also setting themselves and their families up to be assassination targets for the rest of their lives (far, far beyond what they are already). There's people everywhere that will be severely impacted by their actions. There will be nowhere for them to go because the US really is the pillar of the world's economies.
"original defining primitive" of the web makes no sense and has diminishing value as info explodes while the 3 inch chimp brain everyone has does not.
> The actions are entirely unconstitutional.

For all the fetishization of the constitution popular media has led me to believe Americans engage in, when push comes to shove it doesn’t seem to be worth the paper it’s written on.
That's not an accurate description of what's happening, and we're not going to redesign the site in response to political winds, gale-force though they are right now. Actually that would be the worst moment to do that.
> The founding fathers were all younger than these guys.

Who do you consider to be the founding fathers? Franklin was 70 in 1776. Washington was 44. Adams was 40. Jefferson was 36.
Does median income in a city == middle-class? I think that would be pretty skewed in cities with a lot of people commuting in to work because they can't afford to live near their job.
So you are shipping all of llvm?
> How does removing an easy tax filing solution improve government efficiency? It seems like a handout to private tax preparers.

it doesn't, the purpose of DOGE isn't to "improve government efficiency", it's a random company being allowed to take over portions of the actual government.

also, killing Direct File is an explicit ask from the H&R Block etc and their lobbyists, since they'll lose business if filing taxes becomes easier. they also oppose any genuine attempt to make the tax system itself more sensible for the same reason.

> So congress, for example, cannot delegate making laws to some other entity

But this is standard practice, no? The US system is rather unusual compared to Parliamentary systems in that Congress delegates precisely this power to the executive all the time.
This is weird, but I make my living by digitizing old flipbooks into MP4 files!
> The misleading thing about this approach is that the decorated function is no longer Python at all. It’s another language with Python syntax.

Like Democratic elected officials? They lost. They have no power. They don’t control any branch of government.

They have as much ability to pass laws as you or I personally do. They have as much ability to hand down a Supreme Court or direct law enforcement as you or I personally do. None. Where are we? Complaining on social media I guess.

I’m quite frustrated why my elected officials as well but it is kind of hard to blame them when we don’t give them any actual power to wield.
Because they aren’t following the constitution or our laws. Congress has abdicated it’s responsibilities, but all of this is still illegal.
From the dictionary:

> A sudden appropriation of leadership or power; a takeover.

Yes, it's well-known for taking leadership, but any kind of appropriation of power like this is a coup.
Then why did it send me to id.me to send my photo ID to some low cost outsourcer?
It's hard to reach a useful goal without power to do so.

Also, think game-theoretically (or practically). If you don't dedicate at least some effort to gain and retain power, you will be displaced by those who do. The first priority of a pilot is to stay in the air, the second is flying in the right direction.
Probably even worse for the advice is that client accounts can be associated with a banned developer's account...I remember reading a dumpster-fire of an ASK HN (a tire fire for the people actually effected).
Direct File competes with Intuit and other tax prep companies. Of course they're against it; DF threatens corporate profits.
> 25 years of failed businesses.

Your written story comes across to me mostly as regrets of counterfactual timelines; the result of your perception because of societal pushes. If you wrote "25 years of successes", I wonder how it would read?

> What type of mental health professional should we seek out?

What a strange question... the implication is that you think your life problems (perhaps completely normal) are due to a medical condition. Perhaps ask the people who know you best what mental health conditions you have. It's a slippery slope once you submit into the mental health vampire system (and abrogating your agency has other psychological costs).

What's the medical term for a hypercondriac that believes there's something wrong with their mental health so badly that there is something wrong? I'm pulling your leg: it is normal to worry and do seek help if you actually need it. Usually family and friends have a good idea if you need professional help: mental health problems are almost defined as problems that cause you and your loved ones severe downsides and outcomes are often visible (less commonly well hidden).

In theory, coaches are the people to help us learn to attain goals. Is get councelling getting coaching?

The article itself is frustrating because it a narrative based on self-diagnosis using psych terms (conditioning, dopamine). Any comments here are framed within that context. I wonder how their friends would explain the problem they have identified?
Personally I am inclined to flag any link to X, but especially any link to an Elon Musk post.

I'd have no problem with the content if it was in the mainstream media or some kind of analysis on a blog.

My own taxes are crazy because my wife runs a riding academy, we have a rental house, etc.

My son was a candidate for the 1040EZ back in the day (he only had a W-2) but Direct File was an unmitigated disaster for him last year because he had trouble creating an account, probably because he'd never filed a tax return.

While we were on the phone trying to get support (we put it off too long) I was able to download the 1040 and the corresponding form from New York and we filled it out, hung up, and mailed it the next day.
HN is filled with people who work for intelligence agencies and military contractors. Defending US abuses as well-meant mistakes, or framing any professional consequences or exposure of bad things the US does as treasonous is how they sleep at night.

They may seem nice and thoughtful when discussing other subjects, but when it comes to surveillance, censorship, subverting elections, or misleading the public, they think it's the most heroic possible thing. I get the impression that they think that they're heroically sacrificing their own morality for the greater good, and if you told them they'd go to hell for what they've done, they would be proud. Meanwhile, outside of that mental drama, they're collecting huge checks and have never missed a meal in their lives.

Same vibe you get from people who work in extremely polluting industries who think of themselves as lovers of nature. They're doing what is necessary to save what is possible to save. Also incidentally collecting huge checks.
Congress passed a law in 1998 itself to establish US AID, 37 years after the EO. The EO was made with authority that had been granted by another law.

That 1998 law does not permit the President to abolish it or name a different organization:

> Unless abolished pursuant to the reorganization plan submitted under section 6601 of this title, and except as provided in section 6562 of this title, there is within the Executive branch of Government the United States Agency for International Development as an entity described in section 104 of title 5.

The only guide you'll ever need to implement usage-based pricing
140,803 taxpayers used it in 2024.

"Of the $13.0 million spent on pilot development and implementation, $10.6 million is technology and product development costs and $2.4 million is operational costs (customer service, cloud computing, user
authentication, etc.)"

"Nearly half of Direct File users reported paying for tax preparation last year, and the Treasury Department estimates that Direct File users saved $5.6 million in tax preparation fees"

edit: this comment had a much different estimate earlier based on a less specific source
First time hearing about the 90/50 rule and it's something I've seen play out so many times. It's easy to get caught up in just getting the code work on a limited case, but true quality comes from spending extra time on testing and handling edge cases. It's often those overlooked details that can take up more time than we expect. This is particularly crucial for junior developers to grasp as you need to understand that your task is not done when you send your first push to git.

I also agree wholeheartedly with automating best practices. Relying on manual reviews for everything is just not scalable. Setting up automated tests to enforce format, lints and testable code have the side-effect of creating a code base with clear expectations and minimal side effects.
There needs to be at least 1 person to figure out why the game isn’t hitting the performance target. That is real engineering
What are you talking about? The whole reason this is happening is because US economic dominance is being eclipsed and dedollarization is occurring at a rapid pace. This is a freak out and reorganization of foreign policy and the economy to cope with that situation.
Heads up your link is broken, doesn't match any PRs on that repo.
> A self-coup, also called an autocoup (from Spanish autogolpe) or coup from the top, is a form of coup d'état in which a political leader, having come to power through legal means, stays in power through illegal means through the actions of themselves and/or their supporters.[1] The leader may dissolve or render powerless the national legislature and unlawfully assume extraordinary powers. Other measures may include annulling the nation's constitution, suspending civil courts, and having the head of government assume dictatorial powers.[2][3]

For a recent example see the events in South Korea with President Yoon.
You are correct and I was wrong about the founding fathers. I have updated my comment to say "some of America's greatest leaders". Which is correct.
They can and do do that in the US but only for a limited time and you have to tell them your old address and new address. It's essentially a bridge for you to update everyone who might only rarely send you mail. I still get mail for the previous owner more than 4 years after buying my house. (This is confirmed by sending a postcard you either enter a code to complete the redirect or send back in I can't remember exactly I've done it twice in my whole life.)

Most Scandinavian countries are required to make any communication in public departments (including all coworkers emails) public on request by journalists or anyone interested.

This is to make any doubts regarding e.g USAID public instead of making such drastic measures necessary.

But also make work of an entity such as Doge transparent. They are after all funded by my money (as a taxpayer).

That's an external inconsistency, but SF is typically allowed one such assumption.

Ignoring the Fermi Argument is an internal inconsistency. The world just doesn't work on its own terms.
When reality doesn't agree with logic, question your assumptions.

Why does an alcoholic crash their car and ruin all their personal relationships?

Why does someone with impulse control problems make a self destructive statement?

Why does a tech billionaire who is clearly intoxicated by his own power and a cocktail of legal and illegal drugs behaving erratically?
