My experience has been the opposite. Most mediocre to bad developers are so happy that their code works AT ALL that they pay little to no attention to things like sensible variable names and whitespace conventions. We sometimes call these things, "code smell."
Maybe we should TRY paying people more. Like just once. Just to see what happens.

Not accurately. It would apply to probably every president. Biden with student loans for example.

This definition is also too broad: "alteration of an existing government by a small group". That would apply to every President. Every president has a cabinet and changes the government. I think you need more precision in your definition.

An alternative perspective from someone say in the de-industrialized US Midwest four years after Obama was elected would be something like the following. They voted in Obama. Instead of improving income inequality, life expectancy, education, etc., the Democrats brought in a bunch of social changes. Life expectancy lowered in the US and I think lowered even more in the Midwest (mostly because of drug use, but economic factors must have contributed to drug use). In the end the Democrats didn't improve anything and they voted in Trump.

Biden comes in, it was similar, maybe worse because of inflation and increased income inequality. Imposed a bunch of social changed as well. Democrats say a bunch of things and all that ends up happening is a bunch of social changes that most of the country find strange. Now we have Trump again.

Make the signature of your generic callback "throws Throwable". It's generic; it should never care about the specific types that the callback can throw.

(Except that then you have to decide what your generic function is going to do if the callback throws an exception...)

What do you mean by "fully embed"? The integration is a 'bridge', the Dyalog engine stays involved. The simplest way is to make a class and method that takes a string and ⍎ evals it as APL code and returns the result, and call that from C#. From there, you could write more and more APL code and make wrapper methods to expose an API of methods that C# can call.

They have a .NET Interface document: https://docs.dyalog.com/latest/dotNET%20Interface%20Guide.pd...

And more general documentation: https://www.dyalog.com/documentation_190.htm including one for classic Windows .NET (instead of .NET Core) and one "APL As A Shared Library" which is about integrating with other systems using C (making a C .DLL) instead of .NET.

> I think the only people denying the decline of the US are the same people that think the US can be as powerful and respected as it was in the 50s, i.e. not the most well informed crowd.

Aye. It's illogical to call to "Make America Great *Again*" while also claiming there's no decline. Logic isn't how politics works, so that doesn't stop it.
We can but an electoral majority of American voters prefer the current arrangement.
This is good. Doge is obviously very controversial, so let's just let the numbers speak for themselves and see whether or not there is a positive impact.

It would definitely be better to have official numbers instead of Doge's PR numbers, which probably are susceptible to Elon-flation (closely related to Elon time).
You can review each commit in isolation! Also, you can CMD+Click on that new function and it should create a view of that function on the canvas, along with a connector.
It is possible to to reveal the impacts of asymmetric routing through other tools, for instance ThousandEyes can do this by performing a time synchronized bidirectional trace (among other things it can do that MTR cannot). This can be very valuable.

That said, in practice for the majority of end users, they will not be directly impacted by asymmetric routing, if only because so many services are now cloud-based and the major cloud devices are direct peered with all of the major ISPs at regional meeting points in most countries. As an example, on my connection in Denver on Comcast, going to most applications in AWS will enter the AWS network /in Denver/ and without traversing any transit provider, meaning effectively my traffic never goes across "the Internet", it goes from Comcast (my provider) directly to AWS (the provider for the application).

While it's always good to be mindful of the complexities of real-world routing, for the vast majority of common use cases now, entry-points to the target application are so widely distributed that the most impactful routing is inside the private network of the cloud provider, not across the larger Internet.

Not the poster, but I don't think a newspaper pulling an endorsement out of fear of reprisal is a great sign of a free press (or, to the poster's point, a press you care to pay for.)
It's all still available, arguably more accessible from a cost and documentation point of view - I'd argue that the bar to getting something is so much higher.

You can today start banging registers on GPUs, or write your own shader programs, there's well documented modern hardware (e.g. [0]) and completely open-source drivers just sitting there for reference. The issue is that there's so moving parts now that to get anything visible to actually happen it's not just wiring up a couple of registers, but thousands just to get it into a state you can even see the registers you want, then a thousand more.

S1 has no relationship to R1. It's a marketing campaign for an objectively terrible and unrelated paper.

S1 is fully supervised by distilling Gemini. R1 works by reinforcement learning with a much weaker judge LLM.

They don't follow the same scaling laws. They don't give you the same results. They don't have the same robustness. You can use R1 for your own problems. You can't use S1 unless Gemini works already.

We know that distillation works and is very cheap. This has been true for a decade; there's nothing here.

S1 is a rushed hack job (they didn't even run most of their evaluations with an excuse that the Gemini API is too hard to use!) that probably existed before R1 was released and then pivoted into this mess.
> How is that a meritocracy?

Because the person with the better score was chosen.

> The goal of these initiatives is not to give an unfair advantage to other groups, it’s to even the playing field and combat the systemic bias.

If that is the goal then improve the schooling, make it easier to do homework in a better environment etc. Forcing employers through the law to hire people they wouldn’t if given a free choice is not meritocratic nor helpful more generally.
The fundamental problem with rationalism and just using pure reason and logic in general is that logic has no (necessary) connection to reality. It's a game played with symbols, and how you choose to map concepts and things in reality to those symbols determines your conclusion. There's a lot of room to setup your predicates in a way that justifies any conclusion you care to reach, no matter how monstrous, and there are lots of ways to turn remote probabilities into near-certainties. Frequently where they go wrong is injecting infinities or near-infinities into their calculations and once you put the lives of billions of people up against one person almost anything is justified.
Plot twist: Billy is black and Cody is white, so you want Cody to get double discriminated against here. Which is what we see in reality, poor white men are the least represented in higher studies, even less than poor black men.

This isn’t true in professional circles at all. Audio interfaces are external. There is no need to collapse the language it confers no benefit.

Audio interfaces are external because it makes it so much easier to shield them properly. Thus if someone wanted to sell a computer for professional audio work with a sound card there would be a problem.

It seems like you are mincing words, similar to my previous company that wanted to hire more women. They started attending the women-only hiring convention and we could only interview from those candidates (HR filtered out the rest). So while we hired the best candidates we could, on average they weren't that great, they just passed a minimum bar.
Show HN: Nominate – a macOS app that renames PDFs based on their contents
Hi HN! I built Nominate to solve a common problem in my paperless workflow: having a pile of scanned PDFs with meaningless timestamp filenames.

Nominate is a native macOS app that uses on-device AI (via Ollama [1] / llama3.2) to analyze PDF contents, extracts dates and meaningful content summaries, suggests descriptive filenames (e.g., "2025-01-31 Bank Statement.pdf"), processes everything locally - your documents never leave your computer, and provides a simple drag-and-drop interface inspired by ImageOptim [2].

You can try it out by installing Ollama (brew install --cask ollama), pulling the llama3.2 model (ollama pull llama3.2), and cloning and building the project in Xcode.

The source is available here: https://github.com/NSHipster/Nominate

Right now it requires building from Xcode. If there's enough interest, I'll invest time in proper distribution (notarized builds, installer, etc.) to make it more accessible.

I'd love feedback on the UX, suggestions for improvements, or hearing about your own document management workflows!

The main problem is the Democratic Party has proven itself to be absolutely useless at preventing this sort of perversion of our systems. They are too happy to rely on process, decorum and the status quo to build defenses into our systems. Democrats still pretend like it’s the late 90’s / early 00’s political climate where boring neoliberals can beat boring conservatives reliably and that’s the only defense our nation needs. During my lifetime the only persistent democratic plan is to just not lose elections ever and things will be fine. It’s frankly
amazing how much awful shit conservatives are able to inflict on the country while being in the minority and how little liberals are willing do with a majority. It all feels very performative from democrats which I guess makes sense since they have mostly the same donors to appease as the conservatives do.
I did not, because I filter on pretty strict ranges ("half your age plus seven" was my lower bound, my age was the upper bound). Not enough of a spread there to get any interesting statistics.
I think YMMV here based on who you're around. If you're right-leaning in an urban setting or a coastal city, you'll find a lot of heterodox views. If you live in the Rural South or Rural Midwest and do not almost literally worship Donald Trump, you are shunned.

The opposite is true for the left and the Democratic Party. Those circles tend to be very orthodox if you live in a lefty urban area. Disagree with one major platform issue and you're immediately suspected. If you're in the suburbs or a rural area you'll find that left-leaning people are much more heterodox.

Purity spirals are most intense in enclaves, which are echo chambers.

You'll find the same phenomenon online with regard to echo chambers. If you're in a left or right wing echo chamber, the purity spiral phenomenon is intense.
> Your original postulation was that it simply wasn't possible, implying nobody could do it.

Then you must have mistakenly replied to the wrong comment, I guess? My original comment, and every one that followed, postulated that so-called "careful use of English", as in what you are talking about and what we have always been talking about, is a programming language. Given that it is a programming language, how could it not be used in that way? That's what programming languages do best.

> The fact that most native English speakers wouldn't be able to do it doesn't mean nobody can do it.

Of course. But the fact that most native English speakers wouldn't be able to do it proves that it is isn't natural language. This "technical English" language may resemble the natural language also known as English in many ways, but, as even you pointed out earlier, it is not the same language.
I don't disagree with this assessment at all, the food at a randomly chosen restaurant in Paris was better than randomly choosing in the US. I had the same experience in Prague. Not usually "wow" but far from disappointing. But I've lived my whole life with the mantra that 90% of everything is shit so mediocre food places existing anywhere doesn't affect my read of the scene overall.

It's not usually the "top" restaurants that are the best in the US, I take people to dives, little holes in the wall, and greasy food trucks that just happen to be where some artisan decided to hone their craft. The place that cheap plastic tables and still

Yes, a more accurate characterization would be someting like partially elected legislative branch.

The parliament is directly elected, but it doesn't have full legislative powers. It can't propose new laws and the Council of the EU has veto over the parliament. Dissolving the EC also needs a supermajority.

The structure is at least way less directly democratic than any EU country.
They could easily remove the filibuster if they so choosed.
I would have purchased several services over the years if they had a pricing like this, which ultimately I did not (because they did not). In particular there was some video editing software for $20/mo, but I knew I'd probably go months between using it. I'd have gladly paid $20/mo when using it, but it would stick in my craw the months I didn't use it.
The mark of the beast
Really good writeup and insights, thanks for this.

A friend of mine convinced me to enable kind of "donations" if you will for a free macOS app I've made a some time ago. I was not really trying to sell it or anything as it's a simple tool which you setup once and then that's it. But I figured that some might want to support my work and so I setup a Gumroad page with a suggested price of $2.99 and kinda forgot about it. The first $1 email that came through that felt very validating

Working effectively in ATC without burnout hanging over your head constantly favours a certain amount of neurodivergence. A certain kind of delight in detail, delight in predictable progression of system. The overload needs to invigorate , not fatigue.

This doesn’t make ATC professionals better people. It doesn’t make them smarter. It doesn’t make them superhuman. It makes them better at a certain specific kind of work, and the same traits probably make them worse at many others.

We need to stop treating neurodiversity as if it’s a scale from good to bad. It’s just a kind of diversity.

Just like physical diversity. Strong, big frames make a person better suited to certain kinds of work. Lithe, diminutive builds make great aircraft mechanics. Thin, tall builds favour other work, short and stocky morphology makes other jobs more comfortable and easier.

Why should neurodiversity be any different? People are good at different things. Genetics plays a huge role in morphological and neurological development. is there really any difference, or is neurodiversity just hidden morphological diversity?

Different is not a value judgement.
The previous system wasn't just not a meritocracy, it was famously discriminatory. And not just against gay or black people - poor and disabled white people were discriminated against too. Not to mention rampant nepotism and favouritism, which the anti-DEI crowd don't seem to care as much about.
What you've said does seem plausible.

But on the other hand there are valid reasons for requiring a minimum baseline for Windows 11.

The TPM requirements for example allow seamless BitLocker (which provides feature-parity with macOS), it allows secure system credential storage (in both consumer and enterprise contexts) and it's also useful for application developers. For example Chrome can defend user data better against malware or provide features like Device Bound Session Credentials (DBSC).

Requiring certain CPU features on the other hand makes it easier to ship better-optimized executables.

The two combined make it possible to provide things like VBS/HVCI, which is a massive leap for Windows security (it's actually considered a security boundary, unlike UAC).
I didn't address that claim because it's a pointless ad hominem. Tell me what I could respond with that would have you say "oh actually you're right, I was wrong, my apologies" even if just internally.

Try saying that again when you are 50 and your eyes no longer as good as they used to be. Back when I was 25 I loved the tiny fonts I could fit on my (then incredibly large) 19 inch monitor which I had pushed to the highest resolution. These days even with special computer glasses (magnification and optimized for computer distance) I can't make such tiny text.

What's the difference to e.g. xv6?

There are already so many Unix like operating systems of all sizes written in C (e.g. Minix, xv6, BSD, Darwin, Hurd, Lemon, MentOS, SanOS). If I were to go to such an effort, I would try another language, or even my own (like e.g. Bunnix written in Hare). It is meanwhile more than clear that it can be done in C. But C is not really a good programming language (weird syntax, incomplete type checking, many specification gaps, etc.), so it would actually be more interesting to explore the suitability of other languages for such a task.

While I understand your predicament, consider not giving up on jj just yet because of this.

It is _exceedingly_ hard to lose files in jj, it's actually emotionally frustrating reading the line "most important thing [..] is to never ever delete file" because that's the whole shtick in jj with the oplog and whatnot - so something like nuking secrets completely from a jj repo is a bit of a chore.

Can you file a bug at least? A repro of some sort?.
Or at least show us what is it what you did, `jj op log` might be enough to deduce what happened.

Also check out `jj op log -p`, your files might very well be in history, especially if, as you said, jj status took a long time (presumably snapshotting those files that got lost)
