An actual lawyer will probably agree with you. And also charge me to give me the same opinion.
They will also say “but if you end up being sued, it’s not my fault”.

So basically I just need to second guess everything I do, until someone somewhere gets sued and loses and another dude gets sued and loses. At that point we will have some idea about what the law really entails (at which point they change it and the cycle restarts)

In the meantime, my US competitors are just moving full steam ahead.

That was never the situation.

So the number is zero. Having one story for each major separate event is one story too many. This is still what it is. The longer the rationalizations for it get, the more sad it gets.
Here in Germany ISPs are also required to let you use your own router for free.

So instead of making you pay for that option they increase the base price and the provide discounts if you use the provided router. In the end you still end up paying more with your own router than with the provided one. And will probably have a worse support experience if there are ever any issues.

What's faster? Writing a 500 word report "from scratch" by researching the topic yourself, vs. having AI write it then having to fact check every answer and correct each piece manually?

This is why I don't use AI for anything that requires a "correct" answer. I use it to re-write paragraphs or sentences to improve readability etc, but I stop short of trusting any piece of info that comes out from AI.

When reading/listening and doing you encounter thousands of facts/words/whatever in the same amount of time spaced repetition will give you tens. If you are a complete beginner spaced repetition does well, but that is misleading - it does well in the easy to study situation of someone who knows nothing and doesn't examine the much harder to study place where someone knows a little something where you spend most of your time.

If you know nothing, spaced repetition can get you over that initial hump well. However I maintain that you quickly reach a point where you are beyond that and then space repetition is less useful than other courses of study in general. Use well it can still be a supplement to other study methods, but those others should be the priority.

That's also rather... Redundant in modern null-safe (or similar) languages.

IE, Swift and C# have compiler null checking where the method can indicate if an argument accepts null. There's no point in assertions; thus the null reference exceptions do their job well here.

Rust's option type (which does almost the same thing but trolls love to argue semantics) also is a situation where the compiler makes it hard to pass the "null equivalent." (I'm not sure if a creative programmer can trick the runtime into passing a null pointer where it's unexpected, but I don't understand unsafe Rust well enough to judge that.) But if you need to defend against that, I think Panics can do it.
I went from a skeptic to a huge fan of Go. I like how simple the language is, but powerful at the same time. It has a great balance between helping me do things the right way, but at the same time staying out of my way. Concurrency is particularly nice.

Artificial dementia...

Some parties are releasing products much earlier than the ability to ship well working products (I am not sure that their legal cover will be so solid), but database aided outputs should and could become a strong limit to that phenomenon of remembering badly. Very linearly, like humans: get an idea, then compare it to the data - it is due diligence and part of the verification process in reasoning. It is as if some moves outside linear pure product progress reasoning are swaying the RnD towards directions outside the primary concerns. It's a form of procrastination.

You'd hope so. But I'm not convinced it is without a lot more research, HN and by extension YC have made a pretty big mark on the tech world so there is a fair chance that the negative influence (or what could have been positive influence) is outsized as well.

> You want to google concept called "Dutch Disease", an economic phenomenon where a resource boom (like oil) causes currency appreciation and decline in other sectors. Norway and the Netherlands faced this issue.

Isn't this just the downside of comparative advantage?

Like you have the classic example of island 1 can make 5 apples or 15 oranges and island 2 can make 15 apples or 5 oranges so island 1 makes 15 oranges and island 2 makes 15 apples. What happens to the apple industry of island 1? It gets destroyed as they only focus on making oranges.

The only way you avoid dutch disease (Natural Resource Curse nowendays) is to intentionally have an inefficient economy.
Certainly they are. So when Karl Nell says "a higher form of Non Human Intelligence" is interacting with humanity, I doubt he means ants.

When Tim Gallaudet says "advanced non human intelligence" are interacting with our assets in the oceans - I doubt he means dolphins.

Tho both are undoubtedly NHI.

The actual "tech civilizational level" NHI are often described as insectoid. Interesting to consider that a collectively intelligent ant species could proceed through evolution into a multiplanet technologically super-advanced one.
I see it being a trade-off between how explicit the state persisted for a workflow execution is (rows in a database for Temporal and DBOS) vs how natural it is to write such a workflow (like in your PL/compiler). Given workflows are primarily used for business use-cases, with a lot of non-determinacy coming from interaction with third-party services or other deployments, the library implementation feels more appropriate.

Though I am assuming building durability at a language-level means the whole program state must be serializable, which sounds tricky. Curious if you could share more?
> By having a bunch of unelected non civil servants run rampant?

This is where you’re going off the rails. Civil servant is a constitutionally meaningless label. There’s the President, Principal and Inferior Officers, then employees and volunteers with ministerial authority. Civil servant isn’t a special category. It’s not a constitutionally recognized authority that somehow must be protected from the President and his agents.

And to be clear I don’t dislike civil servants. I worked with great civil servants at FCC. But their job is to do what the elected President and confirmed appointees say. There’s great civil servants, and there’s crappy ones. A genius from SpaceX is probably substantially smarter and more diligent than the average.

> What line is there that they would cross that would concern you?

The only “line” that’s been crossed is an imaginary one between different categories of unelected employees whose authority derives entirely from the elected president and senate confirmed political appointees.

> If they ordered Muslims to swear loyalty oaths or leave that would be fine with you?

Elon is the good guy. He tweeted about NED, which I didn’t know about. Their web page crows about helping to overthrow democracy the government in Bangladesh. When I told my dad about it—who has been a USAID contractor his whole career—he was like “yeah, NED is a CIA front.” He also pointed out that USAID under Samantha Powers has become enormously political and has been turned into a vehicle for destabilizing foreign governments. I hate that’s true—our thanksgivings are literally a USAID reunion. But it’s not surprising that the state department has been using the goodwill of an agency that builds hospitals in Bangladesh to export their crazy ideas around the world.

Muslims should be supporting what Trump and Elon are doing. This is the first break in the bipartisan consensus in favor of American Empire. I grew up listening to complaints about the state department meddling in other countries’ internal affairs. And this is the first chance I’ve seen in my lifetime to fix that.

I really thought the major "rust belt" cities were going to blow up after the big COVID WFH push. Why spend 2-10x as much to live in one of four coastal metros when you could get the same pay while living somewhere much cheaper. The biggest issue with these cities in the last 50 years has been a lack of high paying jobs and WFH tech jobs essentially negate that issue.

There are a ton of American cities that have fallen from their former glory but are full of cheap housing, interesting things, and lots of history.

Shame it doesn't seem like that has panned out much.
> Users on HN learn what sentiment on a given topic is rewarded and repeat it in exchange for upvotes.

I don't disagree, but the biggest reward (most) people see in life is money. People have adopted the philosophy of "morals and ethics be damned, if it makes ME more money, I'm doing it."

The biggest and best role forums, such as HN, can play is to show and communicate with people that there are issues bigger than money. That even if you were to donate your entire paycheck to charity, you enabling Zuck, Bezos, Musk & co. is worse for the world.
The right thing to do. Ford, the PM of Ontario, is also barring contracts with US companies while the tariffs are in place.

Is that statistically significant though? You think prominence is correlated with inverse layoffs.

I say the market has more correlation on your layoff or promotions than your prominence.

Again prominence is completely subjective and not measurable. Maybe you can say people who don't get laid off are more prominent.

Or people who get promoted are more prominent. But you can't measure prominence in an objective way.
This is an interesting point. During the code review, you can add a small twist to the problem, then ask them how they would modify the code.

Those are all taxes on Canadian consumers.

The only reason America will feel significant pain from our own tariffs on Canada is because without it, the tariffs on Mexico are voided as Canada has free trade agreement with mex that would make black market proxying through Canada trivial. I suspect that's what this is really about, Canada has to be in lockstep or themselves tariffed for the Mexico tariffs to be persuasive upon Mexico. Otherwise cartels just route white market goods to Canada under shell companies and then to us at no tariff.

The Canadians should find some other way to punish us than cutting off their nose to spite their face imo. A tariff is totally unpersuasive especially in light of the comparative trade dynamics.

> The problem is that if the only complaint with systemd is that it's too complex

As I understand it, that isn't the only, nor even the main, complaint with systemd. On the contrary, the main complaint with systemd is that, like strangler vine (kudzu?), it's spreading everywhere, taking over functions that it originally had nothing to do with, and forcing ever more unrelated things to adapt to systemd -- thereby making them much less portable away from systemd; to something that doesn't use it.

It's like the old debate about "BTW, you should call it GNU/Linux, because..." is sooo yesterday: Nowadays it's systemd/Linux -- and well on its way to becoming systemd-OS, with the kernel a mere afterthought, soon to be if not replaced at least easily replacable. Sure, that may not bother you or most systemd fans, but one can't help wonder: Do you even realise that this is what you're condoning, or even actively advocating? Maybe it would bother you, if you realised it.

(Also, the whole "strangler vine" thing, when deliberately applied, used to have a name: "Embrace, Extend, Extinguish". Now, I can't really swear that it is being deliberately applied here... But do we really dare to blithely assume it's just a coincidence that the creator of systemd so naturally found a home at the company the expression was coined for?)

I think rust was helped by being part of Mozilla and really helped when they got experienced devs (guys who made ruby Bundler) to build the Cargo package manager pre 1.0

https://web.archive.org/web/20221206052719/https://mail.mozi...

And helped a bit when they took a lot of stuff out the stdlib into packages for the new package manager.

And helped a lot with a heavy focus pretty early on great compiler messages (inspired by elm) and with a focus on tools and documentation more generally.

Like a lot of things in life, rust was in the right place at the right time to get popular. I do think the deep want for something better and safer then c++ helped but they made a lot of good choices(not necessarily the best choices but good enough choices) and had some money backing them. I think it was far from inevitable that some other language to compete with c++ would have come out anytime soon if rust hadn't been around (and hadn't made good enough choices). It might have happened but decent chances it wouldn't have.
static consts in C carry their identity through their (fixed, unchanging) pointer address. Lets say you have a business rules engine, that's only meant to ingest threshold values from a certain module. You want to know if the 3.0 you're using is coming from the correct place in the code, or if there's a programming error. With a define, there's not enough additional information to be able to. With a static const, you can just have a const static array of pointers to the valid threshold constants, and use that in your tests for the rules engine.

I work in a highly regulated field, so often this level of paranoia and proof helps us make our case that our product works exactly the way we say it works.

The biggest problem for me, is after the catastrophe, and collapse of everything, the survivors have "won the lottery". But the book never really explains how this future turned out 'good' for the survivors and not a 'mad max' like dystopia like every other post apocalypse story. If there was massive population decline, then how are they making all that technology? Is it all robots? Who built the robots?.

It was just a big leap from "huge global collapse and there are no people left" to "those that are left are really living it up in the abundance that is leftover".

I don't see much reason to believe that any ship built because of the Jones Act would've been built in the US in absence of the Jones Act. So, you really need to show that without the Jones Act that more ships would've been built in the US as opposed to showing that shipbuilding in the US has decreased.

It's like betting on Black for a roulette wheel versus betting on a specific number. You're still going to lose money but you lose the money slower by betting on black than a specific number. You need to show that betting on black loses money faster than a specific number to demonstrate that the Jones Act isn't furthering it's goal.
