Do you hear that sucking sound? It's biggest brain drain you've ever seen. It already been happening, I know several great scientists who've already left, this BS just kicked it into high gear.

I predict this will happen in the future through the most common method of evildoing - a software update.
On iOS? Don't make me laugh. Apple will die before they implement custom configurable messaging providers in iOS.
I've always been fascinated by Larry Ellison ever since I read his biography (God something something).

What's insane is how much of the culture he controls. In tech and outside. He's about to own the largest entertainment company, he owns some of the best real estate in the world, and he owns MySQL and Java.

Genius (or maybe evil genius).
It was for effect.

Maybe you'd prefer if we were all maximally polite drones but that's not how humans are, going back to GPs point, and I don't think it's a state than anyone truly wants either.
> I hope someone funds a ballot measure to repeal the statute.

It's a ballot measure that's easily defeated as no one wants to pay more for insurance, and no one wants their property values to decrease. But no one wants to face the reality either.

It's likely that as insurance companies drop out, more Californians will find themselves on the state-sponsored FAIR insurance plan, which may already be insolvent. And the state will bankrupt itself and its citizens since no one can make any hard decisions.
The npm package for Oracle JET, with ~1000 weekly downloads, has four dependent packages on npm, and if you walk down the dependency tree it’s nearly entirely other Oracle packages or long dead demos/one-shots.

That 1,000 weekly downloads could be entirely from CI pipelines for those other Oracle projects.

The phone call is coming from inside the house, Larry!

I thought this was a pretty decent article. At the very least, it answered a question I always had always wondered about: how he had graduated Stanford so quickly. He's only a few years older than me. When he and Tim funded Fiat Lux I was 20 and still in undergrad, and knowing how college worked I wondered how one could go about graduating so quickly with a double major. I went to school another smart fellow who graduated with a triple major (math, physics, EE) but he took a more normal amount of time.
It's quite cheap to buy beavers.
Being childlike is a blessing and a compliment in my book.
It is not about memory safety or anything like that. It is about simplicity.

If you say "you can't do x with y in C++" you will get an "yes you can, you just use asd::dsadasd::asdadqwreqsdwerig_hfdoigbhiohrf() with weaorgoiawr flag". From what I have seen from Rust, it is similar.
I don't want to fill my brain with vim bindings.. cough.. Rust ways of doing something. I just want to code my hobby game engine v7.

That said, I am happy to use software written in it. Even though the evangelists can be really annoying.
The similarity between C++ and Rust is that both bust your balls with complexity for programming at large. And the inverse goes for C and Zig.

Those are the axes relevant to the parent in the context of their comment - not specific language semantics or core features.
Who should develop autonomous weapons?
What books did "they" burn? I'm asking about the actual books.
There are multiple reasons for the doctor shortage but it's at least partly intentional. The primary bottleneck on producing new physicians is the number of residency program slots: every year some students graduate with an MD but are unable to practice medicine because they can't get matched to a residency slot (some do get matched the following year). Most residency programs are funded through Medicare and Congress has refused to significantly increase that budget for years. But here's the trick. By limiting the number of doctors they also hold down the cost of Medicare claims. If a Medicare beneficiary can't get an appointment because there are no doctors available then no claim will be generated and the federal government doesn't have to pay anything.

> The other question is does the US have the resources (that people can afford) to have folks go to treatment.

In terms of GDP per capita, the USA is the 6th richest on the planet. So the question is not do we have the resources (we do!), but are we willing to make the political and social choices that would be required to deploy the resources to such ends.
In the Node world that's basically a side project of a single dev.
There's a reason the joke is that "Oracle" stands for One Rich Asshole Called Larry Ellison.

That feels like a No True Scotsman argument after decades of chasing VC approval, prestigious jobs at those huge companies, and adopting their practices and software. I don’t like the oligarchy either but it’s a huge part of the tech world under any definition I can come up with. We’re having this conversation on a board run by one of the VC firms with partners who are openly supportive of what’s going on, after all - is this not part of the tech community?
That's a good idea! Could be a very nice tool to add to the lib!
App on my phone.
An incredibly irrelevant comparison which kind of ignores thinking and just reduces things to "haha I have more money than you so I'm more important" (a strange way to think).
Beavers don't have to worry about regulations, don't care how long the dam lasts or what the downstream impacts of it might be.
I love that one, but IIRC all the serious inquiries into it did not deem it credible. Great out-of-the-box thinking though!
If the man had experience in investing, then maybe you'd have an argument. As it stands you couldn't tell him from Adam when it comes to investment experience so the only plausible explanation for hiring him is that its political and thus says something about Andreeseen
I disagree. They are very credible. I trust them much more than I trust a bunch of government bureaucrat fat cats.

I’ve worked in government and I know first hand how useless they are so seeing them being exposed is a long time coming. The idea that these bureaucrats are unsung heros is hilarious. It’s exactly the same how taxi companies were somehow the heroes against Uber when taxi companies are the most exploitive companies ever, especially to minorities.

I’m anxious to see what the results of all this effort is. But I don’t think anything nefarious is going on.
Yes — it reached a point where Ryanair made a website on the issue: https://www.atcruinedourholiday.com/
It won't cost them money. This is marketing "we are your people" to the American Dynamism segment.
> Besides never missing an opportunity to 'slam' the opposition, I have no idea why this is being construed as an ATC failure.

Just saying what I've heard. One issue is that the controller allowed visual separation, to begin with. They say he should have known that it was difficult, especially at night, and shouldn't have allowed it.
I use "git switch -"

Usually you're switching from a feature branch back to main or master anyway.
Right under the last line you can see a ghosted "a form of suicide". That's pretty strange for an IBM document.
There is no restriction on medical school admissions. It's really just residencies.
I see your point.
There are a few objective moments, imho, that I'd consider, though:

> a team that will not run out of money and sell my data

While "not run out of money" is true, the "sell my data" part is not given. For example, in 2023 Google sold its domains business (https://domains.google/) to Squarespace.
Also, while not directly selling your data, they might sell the outcomes of your data in a form of ads or AI models, for example. I believe that can objectively bother some people.

Another point: this is the way to build a monopoly, or a global dominance on the market, and then dictate the rules. I see that stories about some Big Tech monopoly controversial moves are often quite popular on HN, as those situations resonate with many tech enthusiasts.

As for the rest of the point, I agree with you, that a free, high-quality, and decent service is a benefit for us, consumers, over another subscription. I still feel sorry for small bootstrapped services. But that's my subjective feeling, I'm aware of that.
This is one of the coolest things I've seen, as an English speaker who moved to Brazil and firmly believed that technology was going to break down barriers to global access: You're making it happen and helping level the global playing field.

In my situation - you've just given a way for a highly enthusiastic Spanish/Portuguese speaking apprentice software engineer I'm mentoring/training to to actually have the capacity to communicate with a friend/client in near real-time in a more human way than I've ever seen before.

Yes, they're learning English (at same time as software engineering) but you've just made connections more tangible and real.

Love it!
I think it's important that people go there too.

It's better to live in a transparent society where everyone knows who has the mindset of "people I don't like are Hitler", so they can make efficient decisions on who they associate with and how they interact with certain types of people.
No, you are absolutely wrong about that. The whole point of the Revolutionary War was we didn't want an executive who decided how to spend our tax money.

Congress doesn't just give the executive branch a slush fund they can use to implement whatever political agenda the administration has. The money is for specific things, and the president has to spend it on them. He also can't just not spend it. His just is to make the money go from A to B, not to decide whether or not it gets to B.

Yes, the executive can set a policy agenda, and they have powers within the executive branch to administer the agencies, but one of those power is not the ability to spend or hold up congressionally appointed funds. The president's job is to spend that money on our priorities, not his. Many times his priorities will align with the voters, but at the end of the day he is the president for everyone, not just Republicans. This is the whole system of representation we have been living under for 200+ years.

We pay those taxes, we vote for our representatives, they allocate spending, the president makes sure the funds are lawfully spent. That is the system. You seem to be suggesting some other system where the president gets to decide how the money is spent. That's not how the system works.
I’ve seen a few comments like this and I’m wondering why they’re being made. Maybe you can tell me?

The first image on the press release is a real photo.
if you write your code with good dependency injection/abstraction, you can one shot unit tests a lot of the time
> smolagents does code execution, which means "danger for your machine" if ran locally. We've railguardeed that a bit with our custom python interpreter, but it will never be 100% safe, so we're enabling remote execution with E2B and soon Docker.

Those remote interfaces may also work with local VMs for isolation.
That sounds like a premise for a comedy sketch
Calling EMCAScript JavaScript was a huge mistake that is still biting us.
I'm not sure if I am understanding your message. You are trying to say that I should live without dei messages? If so, I live in a country where I basically lived half of my (pretty short yet, tbh) life without those kind of messages. I was too young to be offended by the lack of messages, I'm now grateful that there is a consideration for different backgrounds.

An example might be jobs postings, in computer science the tone used for the post might discourage more women to apply than man. Having a process to ensure this doesn't happen results in more women applying, but more men as well, the increase is just less than woman in %

I also not see an issue with changing a word that has a bleak history with one that hasn't, it doesn't remove anything from people
The Brigida case has been the subtext of recent news stories:

Trump was likely referencing it with his DEI comments about the FAA.

Pete Buttigieg's tweet response (acting as if Trump's accusation was coming completely out of left field, when there's literally a case named "Brigida v. Buttigieg"):

> Music has become "flatter" in a sense which in theory is good. But if everything is unknown, it's much harder for utterly unknown geniuses with bad marketing skills to break through.

Man, I read stuff like this and it's just so far out of touch it blows my mind. Let me introduce you to the internet. You'll never run out of geniuses if you actually make an effort.
Absolutely! jj is a real advancement in the state of the art. I think it's the second time in the history of source control where the authors of a new system have spent a long time working on existing systems + deploying them at scale, and have brought their full expertise to bear on the design of the new system.

(The first was BitKeeper, which also was a tremendous achievement.)
The lesser of 2 evils argument will always get you to the point you're in now where you're like "I can't believe you let bad guy win, you should voted slightly less bad guy".

If you want to break the cycle, you vote your interests and not fall for this crap.

And no, Trump is not the end of the world. It wasn't last time around the US Democrat leaning desperately pretended it was, nor is it now.

For people who see through the partisan bullshit, change is usually good and it's always interesting to separate those people who have consistent views no matter who is in power and those who change to fit the new partisan narrative, no matter their past positions.

In essence, world and murrica... take a fucking chill pill. The TDS wore off the second time around and bipartisan war machine is red and blue, no matter who.
Indeed. Usually weapons are banned if the damage is high and indiscriminate while the military usefulness is low.

There is at this moment little evidence that autonomous weapons will cause more collateral damage than artillery shells and regular air strikes. The military usefulness on other other hand seems to be very high and increasing.
Indeed, that's the reason why they can afford to reduce the fees. Index managers are not charities after all.
>The people are largely unhappy with how things have been

This is an understatement to say the least, and the fact it's been denied and even refused by the powers that be until today is why the pendulum has swung as hard as it has.

Americans wanted change, and they finally got it with ferocious retribution because it's been held back for so long.
the contention of your respondents and downvoters is that regardless of your intention, the extra information actually communicated is "i'm an asshole".
> We actually have competitors in that space, who will do that and more

So what? Can't Google find other sources of revenue than building weapons?
> Okay, so your argument is that "the west" can only mean something "innate"?

Karp said the west is innately superior. JumpCrisscross suggested this was acceptable because democracies are innately superior to autocracies. But western countries are not innately democratic. And democracy is not innately western. Superiority is not innate if its basis is not innate.

> What makes makes the US "innately" white?

People who define the west as white people do not consider all Americans part of the west. And I said it was a common definition. Not good.
“…so which is it then? Is it really robots that are wired to kill people, or the humans wiring them?”
The ones that didn’t do that tended to die before they could pass on their genes.
Then we should be encouraging their development by the governments of liberal democratic nations as opposed to authoritarian regimes.
Yea, he doesn't need a constitutional amendment. He controls all three branches of government, so who is going to stop him?
A date picker widget I tossed on NPM 13 years ago gets 32,000 downloads per week. 510 a week is background activity, that's indexing bots or one org's CI system.
True if the process of selection favors projects that produce the greatest social value, which is far from certain. Specifically in the case of projects with significant environmental impacts, I suspect you are right -- because Earth doesn't usually get a chance to present its counter-argument.
OR alternatively, just not coming up with a better alternative name that ECMAScript. If there was a catchier alternative name that was less awkward to pronounce, people might more happily have switched over.
ATC salary increases with experience. The better ones are promoted to supervisors.
China, for example, could set up a very European-style English-speaking institute in Hong Kong or Macau with high salaries to attract scientists. Singapore and South Korea too. One day Americans might well follow the money and the research freedom?
And only 4 more years of this. Enjoy!
Attempted rationalization: Some proto-beavers with sensitive hearing disliked the sound of running water, and discovered they could shut it up by dropping stuff into the stream to plug it up. As an unexpected side effect (evolution cannot expect anything), the deeper water created gave them an increased chance of survival and the behavior spread as they out competed other proto-beavers.

This evidence is circumstantial but Elez's GitHub account recently removed the profile picture.

* the voters need to be willing to not scream bloody murder if long term ATC investment raises taxes or airfares by $0.01
This is just not correct.

There’s a 10,000 year period from the exit of the last ice age to about the year 0 where global temperatures were at least as warm as the 1960-1990 average. For a maybe 6000 year period within that global temperatures were about a half a degree or a little less warmer than that 1960-1990 average.

You’re just wrong. Before greenhouse gas emissions took control there’s a well recognized pattern of slow global cooling over a few thousand years.

Look at the graph https://www.climate.gov/news-features/climate-qa/what’s-hott...
it's Oracle's UI library that they encourage their official partners to use. I've had the misfortune of doing some consulting for a company that used it, it's actually very fully featured but the internals are totally insane and very dated.
What’d you learn to make you more certain that was the cases?
You don't have to have a "total believe in the purity of weapons" to recognize that military tech is a regrettable but necessary thing for a nation to pursue.
And they create hundreds of jobs in the process!
Agreed. That said, I do think Zig as a language seems like the better choice here.

When Rust was first introduced to the kernel a few years back, one of the people said something along the lines of "a lot of the work was to make sure the build system and infrastructure supports a non-C language, which will also make using other languages such as Zig easier in the future". So it's not inconceivable that Zig support will be added at some point too. When it's more stable of course. But for now it's a non-starter.
Looks bad without it updated
Barring all of the hyperbole of your comment, I find it astounding how you're unaware of this with such a "thumb on the pulse" of world news:

https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2025/feb/04/benjamin-...

Trump said Palestinians have “no alternative” but to “permanently” leave Gaza due to the devastation left by Israel’s war on Hamas. He described Gaza as a “pure demolition site” and claimed Palestinians would “love to leave Gaza”. “I don’t know how they could want to stay,” he said.

Trump’s comments marked the first time he has publicly floated the permanent relocation of Palestinians from Gaza. The US president’s remarks in effect endorsed ethnic cleansing of the territory over the opposition of Palestinians and the neighbouring countries.

Trump is literally for completely ridding Gaza of the Palestinians so Israel can colonize it. An ACTUAL genocide.
Microsoft called their version "JScript", including JScript.NET.
Do you honestly think an insult never brought about a change in a person? You never think a carefully landed and accurate insult made someone reconsider their position?

Weird, because in my experience, that has happened to every single person I know and myself. Whether it's at the start or end of a comment is not really the point.
They do have more users than that, but from memory they typically distribute it in some other interesting way - i think there's a CLI that installs and manages it.
LiveScript was, and still is, a much better name
I'm sorry you're having to worry about this and I just want to encourage you to continue to speak out about your plight if your worries about Medicaid turn into reality. The only way for people to actually understand why the government needs to backstop folks is if the folks who are being backstopped communicate their experiences. At least then people can make more educated decisions on what they're voting for.

And at the risk of being that guy on the internet, one of the things that could be beneficial is making sure you have all of your documentation in order to prove that Medicaid for you and your family should not be interrupted. I'm 99.9% sure that Medicaid is not going anywhere, but I do think there is going to be a tremendous amount of scrutiny on enrollment and aggressive attempts to cut costs. Fair or not, the people who are organized, and can show proof of their situation, are going to be in a better position to argue their case than those who are incapable of getting organized. That includes making sure you download any statements or info from government websites because it's possible (likely?) some of those may go offline.

For other folks reading this, I'm making no political statement here. I'm taking the parent at face value, expressing sympathy and trying to be as helpful as an internet commenter can be (of course that's not very helpful).
Not leadership, just the loudest.
