You need a mix of naive enthusiasm and grizzled experience.

It feels a bit like that famous Joel on Software post - when faced with an existing code base - it looks over complex and you can't understand it - so you decide to re-write - only to discover during the process why it's so complex in the first place.

https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2000/04/06/things-you-should-...

Sure it's important to challenge the status quo - but it's really important to approach it with humility and to seek to understand why things are the way they are, not just to assume you know it all.
Really sucks that antibiotics, especially bacteriocidal ones, appear to target mitochondria as if they were bacteria. This mistargetting causes sometimes severe and long-lasting side effects.
fully with you, but we should get our defense kit not entirely from the country that uses these 5% claims as a negotiation tactic for unrelated topics. It's going to be a very long process of "awakening".
It would seem so, and I apologize. I think that this bit:

> The democracy the FBI is sworn to protect has turned on it. What is left for it to protect? The laws handed down from an older, wiser time? Perhaps the time of Senator McCarthy? Or Jim Crow?

specifically mentions of McCarthy and Jim Crow, made me misunderstand this bit:

> What if today's president pardons common criminals and today's Congress legalizes their crimes—will the FBI continue to enforce yesterday's laws?

That is, the first part made me think of Bad Laws created by Bad People, and this made me parse the final question as: "What if today's president and Congress turn into Bad People and make Bad Laws, should the FBI enforce such Bad Laws, even when they're obviously just like Bad Laws from Bad People of the dark chapter of our past?".

The point I'm making is, yes, the FBI has to enforce law, good or bad, because that's the reason it exists. If it starts getting picky, it invalidates its own mandate.

Also, FBI as an organization is not an independent entity that sworn fealty to the government - it is a construct of the government. Therefore, if "The democracy the FBI is sworn to protect has turned on it", what the FBI should do, as an organization, is to lie down and take the beating, and allow itself to be disbanded. The FBI was created to protect democracy (in specific ways), has sworn to do it, so if the democracy decides it no longer needs the FBI, then the sworn duty of the FBI is to stop existing. For the FBI to do otherwise is to break the oath and invalidate its own existence.

(Now this applies to the organization. As for the people in it, they're also citizens with conscience, and they're free to work within the process to right what they see as morally wrong, and/or quit.)
Actually one of the few production deployments for GCJ used to be Red-Hat AOT compiling Eclipse.

It wasn't retroffied, rather only available behind a paywall, that is what kept companies like Excelsior JET in business.

OpenJ9 from IBM traces its roots back to Java AOT compilation to embedded development, used to be called WebSphere Real Time.

PTC and Aicas are two companies specialized in real time JVM implementations for embedded development, with military and factory automation as main customer targets, also supporting AOT compilation for decades.

Compilers can typically reason fairly well about tail recursion like this. In this case the compiler cannot remove the assertion because you could pass in 0. But if you change the assert to be a >= 0 (which is vacuously true, as the warning indicates) it will optimize the code to "return 1" and eliminate the recursive call: https://godbolt.org/z/jad3Eh9Pf
I answered to the hypothetical from OP's comment as I understood it, and quoted.

> regulation to help ensure the solvency of insurers

The only way to ensure solvency is for the state/people to bail them out as needed. That's not a business, that's literally privatizing the profits and socializing the costs.

It's clear that if the insurers themselves are tasked with ensuring their own solvency it would be prohibitively expensive, so they'll pack their things and go.
There’s a pretty realistic China/US war scenario. China invades Taiwan and then the US responds militarily. I’m not saying that this is a particularly likely scenario, but it’s far from impossible.

Applying to YC from Europe with a Kid
I’m considering applying to YC, but I have a family with a young child and live in Europe. The standard expectation seems to be relocating to SF for three months (assuming you make it through).

I’d love to hear from others who’ve navigated this:

1. Are there any examples of founders who participated remotely or in a hybrid way?

2. Would skipping most of the in-person time be a major disadvantage? How much would I miss out on?

3. Are there alternative approaches I’m overlooking?

YC is known for valuing execution over logistics, but how flexible is this in practice? What assumptions am I getting wrong? I'm curious to hear from those who’ve faced similar challenges.
Those are corporations causing the problems, not the eu.
Quite likely, yes. It should be possible to make estimates of how much your cache misses are going to impact speed.

But there's a tradeoff. It looks like they've chosen small area/low power over absolute speed. Which may be entirely valid for whatever use case they're aiming at.

I think the “[non]mainstream” just changes the word, not the concept. A cult is an organised power-based religion with few members, an organised religion is often cult with many members. Aside from scale, age, and a few superficial differences, I don't see much distinction between, for example, Catholicism and Scientology. Spiritual beliefs don't even have to come into it: some political or sociological movements and even national governments have tended towards a cultish form.

> Under this definition, for example, Catholic nuns are decidedly not a cult.

That might not be the case for all convents, and there are subsets of the church where the local community develops in a controlling manner that could be considered cult-like. Within any large organisation (and the Catholic Church can be thought of as a huge organisation) subsets can end up being cult-ish even if other parts, or the whole, do not.
To be fair, there are also a lot of rural areas not far outside Ann Arbor that are still fairly cheap, although obviously not as cheap as more rural areas farther north.

Ann Arbor has always been a pretty unique place that pushes pricing up above normal. UofM is a large college that has lots of international draw, it holds the best medical facilities in the entire state, and have uniquely liberal laws within the city and the city itself puts an effort towards keeping out state cops. In I believe 1972 they made marijuana possession a mere $5 fine within the city, while the rest of the state would bring the hammer down on people for it, and so it was de facto legal there and the city held Hash Bash ever year since with people all smoking up in public while the rest of the state had people worried about cops finding a single seed or roach in their vehicle.
Lots of cars don't. You've been ranting about several things that aren't universal, as has been explained several times by several people in this thread. Why the breakthrough now?

For the LA fires, houses had to survive embers falling on their roofs for many hours, and intense radiant heat for only 10's of minutes.

Tile roofs and brick walls survive both easily (standard european construction).

Timber frame, plastic/wood on the outside, asphalt roof shingles, etc would obviously not survive. Which is why a few houses survived.
Also, I don't believe this is fully true. GraalVM depends on the underlying C compiler to generate native code, so if properly configured with target triples and flags (just like any cross-compiling setup) it should work.
”Far left” is the new ”communism”. ”The civil rights movement is communism.” ”Gay marriage is far left.” The labels don’t mean anything else than ”something we don’t like and you should be scared of”.
Could you point at some examples? It's not unusual for things to be code-generated and it doesn't necessarily impact the license.
> El Salvador is a gang-infested shithole

Far less so now, because they refused to listen to the dogma preached from these experts and institutions (significantly coming from those associated with or funded by the US), about how they should run their country.
DeepSeek, o1, o3-mini coding test experiment results
Any locale I searched had zero results. You should at least encourage people in that situation to be the first to list something.

Probably a good idea to focus on a particular location first and spread out from there. And prioritise that location on the front page, rather than having it empty with just a search field.

If I visit and find nothing for my location, I will never return. Just pick your home town or something and focus on that.
It's half tongue-in-cheek. That being said, the larger picture behind the decisionmaking of our human leaders is also essentially uncheckable, and is often a key part of many conspiracy theories as a result.
The standard tract built house erected in 100 days by DR Horton/Lennar/etc is the streamlined, mass manufactured option.

Any more streamline than that is apparently more costly or otherwise unappealing to people. It isn’t not small businesses building most homes in the US, they are large, and sometimes publicly traded businesses.
Can't talk specifics but I worked with a perpetually failing startup that spun out of a very prestigious university. The company was lined with way too many professors. Their burn rate must have been incredible, based on the huge investments they got. Their product was already "meh" before the AI boom made it utterly obsolete. They made huge promises but delivered poor results (in an area where 90% accuracy was basically useless). They never seemed to iterate on the product. Suddenly (like almost overnight) we got word that they were out of money and were likely to cease operating. At the 11th hour some idiot bailed them out, likely because of their academic credentials. (Certainly not because of their IP, product or output capability). Or maybe it was sunken cost fallacy. Idk.

Anyway, they're still failing along, burning through a seemingly infinite runway. Academia FTW!
If your metric of innovation is the amount of rockets exploded at debuts you shouldn't bring up SpaceX really.

The EU had committed to a number of deep space and scientific instrument programmes spanning decades and seen them through to success. It operates its own GNSS constellation. It is second only to NASA. Calling it a failure is ridiculous.
> the idea that eucaryotes came into being ("genesis") because some prior lifeforms joined in endosymbiosis is the theory of symbiogenesis

Nope, endosymbiosis refers to the theory per se [1]. The 1966 article that "renewed interest in the long-dormant endosymbiont hypothesis of organelle origins" [2] referred to "the idea that the eukaryotic cell arose by a series of endosymbioses" [3]. The term symbiogenesis "was first introduced by the Russian Konstantin Sergeivich Mereschkovsky" in 1910.

Hypothesis: the school split is an artefact of symbiogenesis (the original term) being revisited during the Cold War. (It also seems symbiogenesis refers to the broader biological phenomenon of symbiosis. There was a symbiogenesis of the Nemo-anemone relationship. Nemo is not endosymbiotic to anemones.)

This is partly true. CE has the "serial GC," yes, and no access to G1 GC by default. But Oracle GraalVM (formerly "GraalVM Enterprise Edition," which no longer exists) was released under a much less restrictive license:

https://blogs.oracle.com/java/post/graalvm-free-license

So, yes, GraalVM CE is slightly nerfed (the performance difference across all EE features is like 30% maximum, at peak, in limited circumstances). You also do not need to use GraalVM CE in as many places anymore, and Oracle GraalVM with G1 is a free download. Many free projects like Pkl use the full-blown VM.

https://www.graalvm.org/latest/reference-manual/native-image...

Serial GC is still very performant. It's great for things like command line tools which don't need a low-pause long-running GC like G1.

Strengthening America's AI Leadership with the U.S. National Laboratories
A lot of very smart, very technical people voted for the guy. And there’s nothing wrong with that. It’s a free country and people can vote their conscience and speak their piece.

The article above is needlessly, wildly inflammatory. Frankly, so is your comment. Not everyone agrees with you, and you’ve made no case beyond cliqueishness as to why they should.
This seems like the kind of things you can do before you get kids and have real responsibilities. Then you need to get back to reality. Sounds fun though and I would have liked to experience it.
They are absolutely individual engineers. And yes, Wired is targeting them but needs to show some awareness of what the effects of doing so may be.
Naval vessels aren’t outdated tech. It allows longer term force projection you can’t get without ground-based. I can stick a destroyer off the coast and leave it there as long as I want. It’s a lot harder to build an airbase. Submarines can stay on station almost indefinitely.

Transporting tanks, artillery, vehicles, is difficult by air when done at scale. Air extraction of a SEAL team is done by helicopters. And those helicopters need to land somewhere. They need fuel and crews and supplies. Forward deployed ground bases are logistically more difficult than having a carrier group off the coast.

As a missile platform, there are certainly alternatives such as the 747 or even space based weaponry, but naval vessels are more than simply weapons platforms.

Also air-based missile platforms depend on a guarantee of air superiority —- it would be naïve to suggest that the U.S. would have that air superiority in all theaters of battle.

More testing can help show the uncertain requirements in more concrete ways.

What should happen in these cases? Now we have this list in one place does it seem unusual or inconsistent?

Bonus points if you can have more general tests (like property based ones) that let you test broader statements.

I always fall back to this example but I built a testing lib for a stack we had a UI framework in. It helped because we could write a test like:

"For any UI, if the user moves right and the focus changes then when the user moves left the focus goes back to the original item"

And then we found a bug in the spec with:

For any series of API calls that build a UI, and any series of user interactions, one of the following is always true

* There are no items in the UI

* There is exactly one item with focus

Being able to specify things at this level resulted in us being able to define the major behaviours succinctly and that made it easier to have them be consistent.
> Trashing human rights is always effective

Hardly. What made Bukele's presidency impressive is that many other governments had tried the "mano dura" approach before, but he was the first one to make it work, and nobody is sure why. There's evidence even he didn't expect it to work that well.
Thanks for the link.

>> It effectively treats “reasoning” as the ability to generate intermediate steps leading to a correct conclusion.

Is "effectively" the same as "pretty precise" as per your previous comment? I don't see that because I searched the paper for all occurrences of "reasoning" and noticed two things: first that while the term is used to saturation there is no attempt to define it even informally, let alone precisely; and second that I could have replaced "reasoning" with any buzzword of the day and it would not change the impact of the paper. As far as I can tell the paper uses "reasoning" just because it happens to be what's currently trending in LLM circles.

And still of course no attempt to engage with the common understanding of reasoning I discuss above, or any hint that the authors are aware of it.

Sorry to be harsh, but you promised "examples that go back 50 years" and this is the kind of thing I've seen consistently in the last 15 or so.

Nvidia open-source nanite: continuous level of detail (LOD) mesh library
How is social security adding to debt when its funded by payroll tax? And the government has borrowed 3 trillion from it.

Replace Medicare and Medicaid with a socialised 1 payer system as it would be much cheaper. The numbers I saw was that the current system costs 48t and 1 payer system would be 32t. And negotiate down costs and all materials and drugs on top of that.
> There's actually, imho, no need for native compilation for java

Sure, that is true, but with native compilation available, Java can do even more things. There are other reasons, too: startup time, quicker time to peak performance, and better interfacing with FFM and JNI, to name a few.

> If you _need_ native, for one reason or another and it's non-negotiable, then choose a native compiled language.

You could do that, sure. But then you would need to worry about all the things that come with that. For example, memory safety -- GraalVM preserves memory safety guarantees with native binaries. Even binaries which themselves ship JIT features.
Lightsail is cheaper, but lacks additional enterprise-y features like VPC.
I don't see why people are so harsh in mocking audiophiles. There is a continuum of hearing ability in the general population, and if those who fancy themselves at the top of it are willing to pay, what's the problem? Audiophiles are subsiding the development of technologies such as 32-bit recording, which have benefits in other contexts aside from home audio.

From what I've seen, very few of the devices marketed to audiophiles are actually fraudulent. It's like Apple computers: a massive profit margin doesn't make a MacBook a scam, just an expensive way to get features a few months ahead of everyone else.
Slippery slope fallacy. And bad politics. Reflexively defending State department ops to destabilize foreign countries through a putative foreign aid organization by hand having about leaded gas (in the context of a guy who restarted the EV industry) is how you get to this point in history.
China reunifies Taiwan: 100%

The Chinese certainly think like this. The North Koreans are certainly on a constant war footing. The world is an extremely hostile place.
A rewrite enables dropping features including, but not limited to: checks and balances, due process, a government for and by the people, and certain inalienable rights.

And just to make it clear: I am not being facetious, I am very concerned that all of these are under serious attack.

Checks and balances are already broken because of DOGE, because the Department of Justice simply ignored a court order to stop the funding freeze, and because the firing of FBI career employees was probably illegal [1].

Due process is coming under serious threat due to the building of camps in Guantanamo and El Salvador, where detainees will likely have insufficient access to legal counsel.

A government for and by the people will be replaced by fascist "network states", sovereign territorial entities under authoritarian control by a "CEO", i.e. dictator [2]. The goal is to enable ultra-wealthy individuals to freely "exit" democracies, to live and govern without any rules.

Inalienable rights are explicitly under attack by the ultra-libertarians in Musk's circles. Nick Land, one of the main thinkers behind this neo-fascist brand of thought (branding it as "Dark Enlightenment"), quotes Patri Friedman, who runs Pronomos Capital, the corporation that builds these network states for Peter Thiel and others:

> Patri Friedman remarks: “we think that free exit is so important that we’ve called it the only Universal Human Right.” [3]

Id est, building a privately-owned, corporate-controlled, dictatorial "network state", which is exactly what "free exit" means, justifies abolishing all human rights.

The worst thing is that this all sounds like an insane conspiracy theory, but this is operating completely in the open. The statements of Peter Thiel, Patri Friedman and others are freely available, and they make very clear (Peter Thiel):

> Most importantly, I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible. [4]

Why not?

Both ecosystems complement themselves, some stuff Java ecosystem does much better than .NET, like multiple implementations, with various kinds of GC and JIT implementations, wider support of hardware deployments, tooling like Graal, industry standards, IDE implementations, a mobile OS,...

Other things the .NET ecosystem does better, support for value types, low level programming, SIMD, desktop development, game engines.

To this day they keep copying features from each other, and if either C# or Java isn't one's taste, there are still several other options on each platform.

Hence why I am confortably at home using them both, complemented by JS/TS for FE, and C++ for fiddling with their runtimes, or plugging into native libraries.
