> Countries are quick to comply with the new admin's demands.

Are you so sure? In just a few days you come to that conclusion? What's certain is the damage that the US is self-inducing. The reaction from abroad, whatever form it may take, has not had the time to take shape yet.

> Culturally you will still be writing on this platform in 5 years (because, put simply...)

The more I read here, the more I realise how both part of the audience, and part of the hosting, is veeeeery skewed to some peculiar mindset I could not imagine in the past 10 years. Let's say that it is a good continuous learning experience.

> no critical mass is leaving twitter/x (because...)

[independant citation needed]. I found most of my active communities back on Bluesky and Mastodon, as they have gone almost extinct on X/Twitter. While I see a significant surge of bots (not hard to spot) both in comments, posts and follows. The mass may stay the same, to call it critical is a bit of a flex to me.

> and technically you very likely will be using an american made co-pilot (...).

I feel it's a bit early to say "likely". As it's a bit early to say that it may still be relevant to use it at all in a few years.

> Could it be, juuuust maybe, that you're believing what the US's other political side wants you to believe?

And that would be?

I have your account tagged as a political troll-adjacent. That's because most of your comments since Jan 2 2024 are political and are barely on the line wrt to the guidelines. Sometimes clearly against them.

I'm surprised you're still not banned, that must be dang being overly kind (maybe because paulg)
I’m puzzled. On the one hand you don’t want the complexity of a Linux desktop, but you want the hassle that comes with changing GPUs. Over the life of a typical machine is it really worth upgrading the GPU separately?
Well, most things, considering the absolutely pathetic average salary, the rising cost of living, and the ever-increasing tax burden.
I also had this some time ago and then it was gone. Maybe just A/B testing?
A lack of improvements I could stomach. What bothers me are the regressions! It's getting worse with every update!
You mean the fact that shredding as an action exists? Or specifically that the fed shredded JFK docs?

Its shifting the goal posts when the call has to been release all the documents, and when they do just that, saying it wasnt in fact all the documents...it would be impossible to have evidence of it, or verify it. Just unsubstantiated claims, but thats enough for some
It's surprising to me that Alpine isn't set for life from corporate donations. They're my first choice for laying down the foundation in a container.
Right but, this isn't merely FFI code, those are via Bindgen, this is the abstraction intended to be provided to all DMA driver authors as the API, as I understand it.
Some people cannot and would not accept any evidence, because they already know in their hearts Trump is "a champ".
i very much dislike that anytime i see a comment on HN that isn't a wall of text arguing with someone, then the police arrive to tell them they're not allowed to participate in that way

i hate the wall of text on this site. i hate how some people feel entitled to tell others their remarks aren't welcome.

it truly takes away from this site to see the police show up on almost every single thread.

The camera is one of the most important features for me. I had (and returned) a pair of INMO Air2's primarily because of the poor camera quality. Waiting to see how the TCL RayNeo X2 performs (was supposed to ship in December, still waiting) but may just cancel those and wait for the next generation to release, which was just announced at CES.

I love the notifications and the other stuff as well (mapping, translations... Even streaming YouTube through them while I exercise) but my primary driver for these was to have a rapidly accessible camera. I found great success with the Humane AI Pin primarily for this feature.

FYI there are some other options available today for glasses without cameras (Vuzix has some, as well as some announced at CES) and/or with simpler screens... As well as some with screens in the frame (like Halliday) if the rainbow effect gets to you.
I wish HN had an auto-hide mode based on a certain topic polarity threshold.
SEEKING WORK - Full-stack developer

Location: Berlin, Germany

Remote: Flexible

Technologies: PHP, Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, React, Postgres, MongoDB, PowerShell, HTML/CSS, GraphQL, Node.js

Résumé/CV: https://cv.thelastcode.io

LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/tyteen4a03

Email: tyteen4a03 [at] thelastcode.io

I am a software engineer with over 5 years of experience building web applications. Currently a system architect IT Volunteer with Crisis UK (homelessness charity) and Technical Lead at Toontown: Corporate Clash (volunteer-run revival of the Disney MMO Toontown Online).

I enjoy being "the glue" to IT projects, working across disciplines to ensure they get delivered on time, meet budget and satisfy users. I have created projects from scratch, and have dived into complex codebases and modernised them. I prefer full-stack development on the web but can also specialise into backend / frontend and other disciplines as needed.

Currently obsessed with PayloadCMS and creating websites from scratch.
Has nothing to do with bias popup. What next? Need to slap a "chocking hazard" label on small items? Keep out of reach of children on medicines? Oh wai...
Nah, this is just cynicism.

Two things are true at once:

1. The rule of law is real and important.

2. The rule of law is not a magical thing that enforces itself, and many people seek to undermine it for their own enrichment, so those of us who believe #1 is correct (which is most people in the US) must understand the levers of power and use them to maintain t
it.

Despite the current struggles, I think we have some real advantages in this fight. One of those is actually just capitalism. We have financialized trust in the US government, via the bond market. That trust is not entirely downstream of the rule of law, but it is to a fairly large degree. We have already seen once that an effort by the administration to squelch on its contractual obligations was quickly reversed, which was this basic mechanism at action. The worst things DOGE could do with this (illegal) control over the Treasury would be unworkable for this same reason.

There are still horrible outcomes that aren't subject to this constraint (and in my opinion, we need to reform the pardon power in order to maintain the rule of law moving forward), but it's not true that there are no constraints.
A democratic election without using violence to force a result is by definition not a coup.

It is ok to not like the result, but don't misappropriate words for it, thus diluting their meaning. Words having concrete meanings are important for reasonable discourse.
This feels like circular reasoning. In order to execute his (or her) Constitutional Duties, the President must execute laws faithfully. However, the President is extended limitless benefit of the doubt if he decides to not execute the laws put forth by Congress, which means he's not executing his Constitutional duties. So which one is it?
There will be no new elections. At best we’ll have a Russia-style farce.

Arithmetic Coding for Data Compression (1987) [pdf]
I'm quite sure that's why Trump is ordering this release.

He's explicitly at war with the deep state and existing institutions. Trying to tear them down and seize power. If these files make the FBI and/or other TLA(s) look bad, further public eroding trust and support, he wins.

The Republicans are also starting to win back non-white voters. Shedding light on the MLK assassination certainly does not hurt that effort.
People do a lot of inconsistent things, a pretty bad one among these is complaining that housing is expensive, and then paying ~40% of the cost just for land every time someone wants to live somewhere, and when folks recommend putting homes on top of each other a plurality opposes this. (insert surprised pikachu image)

Of course there's a lot of things to automate. As I mentioned in this comment half of hard costs is labor.

Hetzner also has the interesting choice of consumer-grade machines which probably work fine in cases where you are constrained by CPU power rather than memory capacity/bandwidth. You'll also lose a bit of redundancy and reliability but that might not be as big of a deal since the machines are managed by them and you can probably get things replaced quickly. For example depending on the workload the CCX43s might be replaceable by the AX52.

Meanwhile for CI runners you probably could split the big bare metal servers down into smaller individual machines and run less jobs of them. Depending on the CI load profile it might also make even more sense to scale out to the cloud on high demand as opposed to having a bunch of mostly idle machines.

No thank you.

In other words,

Unless,

Why stop there? Just don't spend tax dollars on anything, 100% of the budget freed. This is such a stupid fucking argument

We have that here too, except in our case it’s the government using the good old fashioned medium of television.
Do you?

Everybody I know is happy with what Hetzner provides, even at production level. OTOH, "arguably better" DigitalOcean sent me a "Your physical host died, so we restarted it. If it persists, we'll migrate" e-mail, which just shows the reality of the hardware.

On your question, while I do not have services on Hetzner yet, I manage a lot of servers, so I know dynamics of a datacenter and what it entails to keep one up.
It is not, Meha agent is fully custom except we don’t use our own models we’re using o3-mini for most of the inference
Tell HN: Look Where You're Driving
So, I've been using git professionally on a daily basis the past ~13 years.

Today I was reminded of a specific way you can blow your leg off, not watching the road while driving.. or the terminal while typing!

I guess the server was slow today.

~/code/
$ git clone --recurse-submodules git@code.corp:project/project.git
Cloning into 'project'...
remote: Enumerating objects: 10978, done.
remote: Counting objects: 100% (10978/10978), done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (3151/3151), done.

~/code/
$ rm -Rf pr[tab]
$ rm -Rf project_modules[enter]

So I start checking out the repository, realize that I don't wanna do tha anyway and ctrl+c / rm -R pro[tab] (since project_modules is the only other folder that'd complete this, and it'd match project first..)

Well, this time, git had either not created the project directory yet, or it managed to clean it up when I aborted, so my expansion went a bit wrong.

This wouldn't have happened if I'd have looked at the terminal and read both what I typed AND what the software printed back, but I didn't because youtube started playing a song I'd not heard before (it was Tessa Violet - Haze), so I was looking at the other display just as I realized I didn't wanna check out that repo anyway, and did the [enter] part of "rm -R pro[tab][enter]" just about the same time my eyes jumped back to the terminal, so it took a second or two before I realized what I'd done.

Now, my leg is not blown off too bad, my home partition is on zfs and it takes 8 snapshots per day, but it COULD have been blown off somewhat.

Drive carefully.
Interesting. I know it frequently happens, but I've never seen a conference explicitly make that request.
Lawsuits take time, the authoritarian takeover of the government is completed in days.
That's the very point of this discussion: not everybody cares abut the platform. As long browsing and office work, half (or more) of the population would never know a Windows from a Mac. And they shouldn't either.

PS video and music, let aside games, are already for power users.
"It runs on top of the Krypton build of kernel 4.19, and uses Halium to call Android drivers."

That's unfortunate. I'm guessing this is likely due to blobs that the Dimensity 900 SoC requires.

Yeah it is a real MIRACLE why companies don't want their employees to input their sensitive company data into some online form that they may or may not trust. We will likely never know what their real reasoning is.. /s

I'm a Product Manager turned Coder, I had a strong stint as a PM for 7+ years, at my last company (YC S21) I scaled the DAU from 10k to 250k+ & MAU to 1 million+.

Now I'm looking to get to the fundamentals of building. That's why I have been learning backend development for the past 1 year, you can view my resume for more details on my coding projects and my achievements from 7+ years of PM career.

Can bring a good balance of user centric mindset to feature development. Since I'm sort of rebooting my career here, I'm looking at SD-1 level roles at the moment. Would love to chat about this.
I don't think the majority of the public is aware of the extremely devious stuff the FBI has done w.r.t. civil rights leaders etc.

Even if nothing substantively new is released it gives him a chance to rant about the FBI as part of his mission to seize power and discredit the "deep state" while cosplaying as a supporter of truth, justice, people of color, etc.

Answering some questions:

- Good data is available already for the project.

- There are already previously existing models, it is not starting from scratch.

- Companies like Red Hat, Volvo, SAAB are part of the initiative thru partners like AI Sweden. So, this is a initiative to support the public sector and universities but also will have commercial output.

All that is public information.

None of those technologies: newly developed radar, or even more exotic night vision at that time, would have allowed them to bomb ships at night over lake Ladoga. Dive bombing would have worked but not at night.
Right, sorry for the patronizing tone, I’m sure you know all this.

But I tend to lament the overall tendency for people to write cleanup code in general for this kind of thing. It’s one of those “lies programmers believe about X” kinds of scenarios. Your program will crash, and you will hit situations where your cleanup code will not run. You could get OOM killed. The user can force quit you. Hell, the power could go out! (Or the battery could go dead, etc.)

Nobody should ever write code that is only correct if they are given the opportunity to perfectly clean up after any failure that happens.

I see this all the time: CLI apps that trap Ctrl-C and tell you you can’t quit (yes I bloody well can, kill -9 is a thing), apps which don’t bother double checking that the files they left behind on a previous invocation are actually still used (stale pid files!!!), coworkers writing gobs of cleanup code that could have been avoided by simply doing nothing, etc etc.
Unfortunately, the way the world and tech landscape s right now, there are thousands of developers competing for the same jobs. It’s always been hard to break the can’t get a job <-> don’t have experience cycle. It’s even hard now to rise above the noise if you do have “generic” experience. At least in the US, for every job opening there are thousands of applications.

As harsh as that sounds calling your experience “generic”, we all had to start somewhere. That’s not meant to be an insult
AI Is Spamming Open Source Repos with Fake Issues
I mean, I don't love it because of my political ideology, but it wouldn't strike me as weird if I saw this kind of story in my local paper...

I got all pissed in college when I read a magazine article about how the football coach at the state school I attended was the highest paid state employee that year. There was nothing weird about that article, and I think it's very similar to your hypothetical.

I do, ideologically, think that it's much better for reporters to focus on powerful people near the top, but I don't think it's weird to report on government employees, in general.
The general response to broken trust is to trust nobody. Americans breaking trust will make it less likely others trust Russia or Turkey or China, not more.

"If you can't trust America, who can you trust?"

One diacritic in the title is wrong, and it's annoying. They obviously tried, but still failed. One google search would have shown the issue.
Part of the problem with American companies competing with the rest of the world on supposedly equal footing is American companies have to pay their sailors and abide by workplace regulations that Chinese/etc shipping can ignore. In other words it's not equal footing, it can't be equal footing, and America should stop pretending that competing on equal footing with shipping companies that use slave labor would even be a good thing. Subsidies are necessary, the libertarians who hate that can get bent.
Sadly, and I say this with an equal measure of sadness and conviction, the bell has been rung on this (and industrial might in general )for 2+ decades.

There was a chance to rebuild the us into a formidable industrial power, but it was lost in the early 2000s.

We gifted all of our knowledge advantages to an industrial adversary with a 4:1 population and resource advantage. They have improved their primary education to be vastly superior to ours, and their secondary education is not far behind.

Strategic goals were superseded by greed, and we will now have to settle for second fiddle or lower on the world stage with no hope of recovering a leadership role. Our military might will eventually be eclipsed by China as well, and in the interim will only serve to slightly slow our fading into irrelevance, while being an increasingly heavy yoke to bear as the expense of maintaining aging systems that we cannot replace continues to grow.

Yet, There is one inflection point that we might possibly be able to change this at: an all out, no holds barred investment in space resource and energy harvesting:

this expands our high technology edge, gives us a resource advantage, gives us new territory, incentivises rapid robotic expansion of our industrial capacity….

We could leverage dominance in the space frontier while we still possess the military advantage on-planet to defend our will to do so. But we will have to throw everything behind the effort, in basically a wartime footing, or we cannot hope to succeed.

This is quite literally the last chance to avoid a CCP dominated world within 5 decades.
