There is already some compelling anecdata that warrants studying.

Rat park is one, and the doctor who prescribed heroin in the 60s is another.

The jist of it was that addicts stopped abusing when there was something better to live for. In the absence of community, opportunity, and hope, abuse abounded.

The reality of some people's experiences though is that while euphoric in the beginning, long term use leads to an unpleasurable mental haze. The lack of clarity becomes its own hell.

----

The potential solution is likely unpopular and likely difficult to implement. Investing into communities that promote community along with incentives for economically depressed areas to be rebuilt, IMO would likely reduce opioid abuse.

But that's not nearly as popular as the moral displacement schadenfreude the people get by being able to point the finger at the drug abusers.

I built Keyworder: Save words from any language pair and quiz yourself later
I actually agree with you, I don’t think a constitutional amendment will be ratified in my lifetime. But a lot of things I didn’t think I’d ever see have happened in the last two weeks
Hey HN,

I built Keyworder, an app designed to help you save and learn new words from any language pair while reading books, watching movies, or browsing online. You can then quiz yourself on these words to reinforce your learning. Here's what the app offers:

- Save words and their translations from any language pair.
- Organize your vocabulary into custom categories.
- Take quizzes, including:
- All Words Quiz
- Today's Word Quiz
- Week's Words Quiz
- Month's Words Quiz
- Category-Specific Quizzes.

Whether you're learning a new language or enhancing your existing skills, Keyworder makes it easy to build and organize your vocabulary effortlessly.

I'd love to hear your feedback, ideas, or any ways you think this could be improved. Feel free to try it out and share your thoughts!

Thanks for taking a look!
How could you do linear optimisation over unrelated terms in this? How could you implement the well known decision support methods from Operations Research in this? How does it compare to rows, or tables and extra columns?
>Unless a situation is so unexpected that it has literally never happened in the history of aviation,

I would say this is actually the most likely scenario for an edge case. The sheer number of variables make it unlikely that the same unexpected event would happen twice.

In an emergency situation the combination of, the emergency, ground conditions, weather, visibility, instrumentation functionality, and surrounding aircraft is most frequently going to be unique.
Don't confuse "presence of dynamic types" with "absence of static types."

Think about the web, which is full of dynamicism: install this polyfill if needed, call this function if it exists, all sorts of progressive enhancement. Dynamic types are what make those possible.

I’m not sure there are many people arguing for the latter. The former yes, but more than that it’s the types of things that are being targeted.

Method aside, musk is trying to save a few million here and there on things that are “wasteful” but provide benefit to a lot of people, including Americans. Meanwhile, a multi trillion dollar tax cut that’s going mostly to the wealthy is fine and not wasteful for some reason. Jacked up prices from a handful of defense contractors is also fine.
As a systems programmer, Rust has won. It will take decades before there is substantial Rust replacing the absurd amounts of C that runs on any modern Unix system, but I do believe that our of all the replacements for C/C++, Rust has finally gained the traction most of them have lacked at the large companies that put resources behind these types of rewrites and exploratory projects.

I do not think Zig will see wide adoption, but obviously if you enjoy writing it and can make a popular project, more power to you.

> My anecdotal experience has been that pretty much everyone knows a friend or a friend of a friend who smoked too much pot and had their life go off the rails

Sadly, I’m seeing a new trend of people taking too many psychedelics and going off the rails.

The way they’re being pushed as cure-alls for depression is getting scary.

One of my friends developed severe problems after following the microdosing trend. It developed slowly over a long period of time, but he thought he was okay because he was following one of those protocols from one of the biggest microdosing experts.
Commiting credentials is also a real issue, best to avoid doing both.
You can switch. But now you also need to convince a random person that they should switch, because you can't easily use what they're using. And you may be the only one out of 10 people in the group complaining about it. Instead of their technical problem, Apple can make it a "you" social problem.

A page? I sure hope not. The whole training and inference code for a U-Net architecture in APL is only about 30 lines, with inference direction only taking up 4 or so lines. Assuming you know APL, the code is actually really straightforward and readable, too! Not to mention that it's only ~2.5x slower than a comparable PyTorch implementation.

You're either misdirecting the discussion, or have missed the point. The statement isn't about weapons, but the means of _control_ of weapons.

It's legitimate to worry about scaled, automated control of weapons, since it could allow a very small number of people to harm a much larger number of people. That removes one of our best checks we have against the misuse of weaponry. If you have to muster a whole army to go kill a bunch of people, they can collectively revolt. (It's not always _easy_ but it's possible.)

Automating weapons is a lot like nuclear weapons in some ways. Once the hard parts are done (refining raw oar), the ability for a small number of people to harm a vast number of others is serious. People are right to worry about it.
Anyone got a non-intuited, horses-mouth reason why? I suspect (ie, intuit) that its actually an attack on the USPS, not on China. The party of government doesn't like the post office, and this is to teach us not to like the post office either.

I guess if they stopped using electric cars, they might like the post office again.
I'm also on the 39% marginal income tax rate in New Zealand. That income tax rate isn't the problem. Keeping $60K out of every $100K extra salary I make is plenty of motivation to work harder to make the extra $100K... especially because the taxes paid aren't burned, they mostly go to things I care about.

The income tax rate isn't all that relevant to the costs and benefits of starting a company, so I don't understand that part of your story. The rewards for founding a successful company mostly aren't subject to income tax, and NZ has a very light capital gains regime.

I have started my own company and I do agree that there are some issues that could be addressed. For example, it would be fairer if the years I worked for no income created tax-deductible losses against future income.

But NZ's tax rates are lower than Australia and the USA and most comparable nations, and NZers start a lot of businesses, so I don't think that is one of our major problems at the moment.

It’s cheaper because USPS has been subsidizing the costs. That’s why a lot of small packages were shipped with usps.
Air traffic controller seems like one of the least rewarding job there are out there
I'm convinced a lot of people who espouse this view have never worked at any large[1] private sector organization. My last stint working at a big company included seeing people routinely taking naps at work and generally behaving in the ways people associate with government employees. Smaller organizations are more efficient, but are limited in possible scope of impact.

[1] "large" here generally meaning over 100k employees, relatively concentrated (so a hypothetical org with 5k employees in each of 20 countries likely does not fit). For scale, the US has any number of domestic bases where personnel count exceeds Meta's total staffing, with a couple being roughly the size as Microsoft's US employment.
Yes, the only upside I can see for them is it reinforces their reputation of being ruthless in legal proceedings. Which you might consider a good thing if you subscribe to the "it is better to be feared than loved" philosophy.
I think the trickiness with the simple abstraction is that you end up looking at a commit graph and thinking "I would like to make a couple new nodes in this in a very specific shape, but one that many people have likely done in the past. Is there a trick?"

Like so much of the porcelain is those kinds of tricks, and make otherwise tedious work much simpler.

Imagine if you didn't have interactive rebases! You could trudge through the work that is done in interactive rebases by hand, but there's stuff to help you with that specific workflow, because it is both complicated yet common.

I think jujutsu is a great layer over git precisely because you end up with much simpler answers to "how do I change up the commit graph", though.... the extra complication of splitting up changes from commits ends up making other stuff simpler IMO. But I still really appreciate git.
The US has very low average/median social mobility (and it'll only get worse due to insane education policies and less standardized testing), but it has very high variance.

Going from $15k a year to $150k is a lot more common in Europe,, but doing from $150k to $150m is a lot more common in the US, and it's the latter that creates most of the value.

Radar sweeps, it takes time to get back, it takes time to relay information and it takes time to respond. When you have aircraft moving at hundreds of miles an hour crossing in close proximity the trajectory can change and result in impact before radar can gather data, assess it, make a prediction and relay that information.

I think the biggest problem with CVS is the lack of consensus on what and how to push to the repo.

On one hand you have the ideal world scenario when each and every change is granular and you can annotate and blame every single line of code with description. On the other hand you have a real world where teams are encouraged to squash changes so that every commit corresponds to a business requirement and you have to engage a whole cabal to smuggle a refactor.

A long time ago I've implemented a routine to use both SVN and GIT, so that I could use GIT on file save, and SVN on feature release. I think it was inspired by Eclipse workflow. Definitely not something I would recommend these days.
"The market" is just a lot of people making decisions about what to do with their money. If you want the market to behave differently, be the change you want to see, and teach others to do the same.

One of the first things you can do with any of these kinds of lists is to see if they recommend Firefox over Chrome. It's an excellent shibboleth, because Firefox codes (rhetorically) profoundly more activist- and privacy- friendly than Chrome does, but Chrome has much more sophisticated and better tested runtime protections. Firefox seems like it would be the better recommendation, but if what you care about is not being easily (==cheaply) targeted by exploits, it's not.
I also wouldn't complain about losing the confusion between Java and JavaScript.
But always keep in mind, politics is just a means to an end for these people. Remember how all the Silicon Valley techbros currently supporting the coup used to claim to be liberal and progressive? The 'culture wars' were invented by them to keep us distracted and divided. They're playing both sides of the fence against us while we blame the other side of the fence.

Yes and. China is still rapidly expanding their electricity production (because their energy use per capita is still way below US/Europe), and they don't have huge amounts of natural gas like the US does. As such, they are building coal plants that in the near term boost energy production, and in the medium term will be used as peaker plants for when the massive amount of renewables that they're also installing don't meet demand.
Interestingly, if you plot disposable income against healthcare spending, the US falls squarely on the trend line.

On the promise of going back in time, I’m finding myself getting more utility of VS Codes timed snapshots than my own commits.

I find it hard to judge when things are in a good enough state to commit and especially good enough to have a title.

I might start writing a new function, decide that I want it to be a class only to give up the class and wanting to return to my almost complete function. Snapshot works pretty well for that, but got isn’t really centered around snapshots and doing good snapshots is not straightforward, at least to me.

What do you guys do?

At least RCS is an attempt at being a cross platform standard, even if it still sucks. iMessage is locked down to Apple devices only. Even if you reverse engineered the protocol you wouldn't be able to get it on Android because Apple will shut you down.

Best option is to just use a different app that just works on all platforms. No RCS, no iMessage.
Yes, though we are also doing pretty well in terms of eg wages, not just GDP.
I think you’ve, intentionally or not, hit on a critical point that most like to ignore while passively accepting that “China is simply where things are manufactured”. As if that wasn’t the case until about the time the median HN reader was born.

Some will attribute it to the proximity of factories to one another, collaboration between those in adjacent industries, culture, government intentionality, a general lack of enforcement on IP as long as it favors China… but the truth is if China along with every alternative adopted Western environmental and labor laws tomorrow, by mid-2026 there would be factories open in every town and city in the USA and Canada.

The West loves to play holier than thou while paying others to put their negatives on their books. Canada implementing carbon pricing and phasing out coal domestically while simply shipping it to Asia instead is the perfect example. Or banning single use plastic because we were shipping it to countries that claimed they were recycling it and instead dumping it into rivers.

There is no reason why we can’t produce things, aside from the fact that it’s unpalatable and often illegal to have to deal with the realities of manufacturing like toxic effluents and aerosols.

It’s why we tend to stick to manufacturing things that only involve assembling, processing, and welding materials after the bulk of the nastiness has been done overseas.
The goal of AI interview preparation isn't to help candidates "game the system" - it's to help them become genuinely better at communicating their skills and experience. Our AI interviewer is designed to improve real human skills: clear technical communication, problem-solving thought processes, and handling unexpected questions under pressure.
It isn't sad at all. Freedom for most people is freedom to conform to the ways of someone they respect as opposed to cronies of some government official. And more philosophically freedom is to give the people worthy of imitation as much room to be great as possible so that people who follow them get the best version to copy.

Humans (with rare exceptions) are happiest when operating in groups.

Those in the liberal arts probably have it even worse, as their experience usually doesn't translate to industry at all.

As an employee of the government responsible for these items, you are beholden to follow the law. If you break the law you are prosecuted. You have to go through background checks, get training on what you're legally allowed to do, receive training for security clearances and how to handle sensitive data, go through that whole vetting process. You must preserve documents, be free of conflicts of interest, your work is auditable, and your department must respond to FOIA requests. The bar is high for you because the public puts our trust in you to spend our money.

None of this is true for Musk. He's not treating any of this with care, and we can see this in real time as USAID food/medicine is held up and rotting at borders. How is that not wasteful?

If you were to make those kind of capricious decisions as a government employee leading to people going hungry and staying sick or worse dying... Congress would rightfully be demanding answers and your resignation.

I think it should be obvious to everyone we are not dealing with an instance of a regular employee exercising routine and precedented discretion here, when Congress is up in arms, agency employees are up in arms, class action lawsuits are being filed.

Because allowing countries to maximize their comparative advantages is great for economic growth. It doesn’t make sense for every nation on earth to have their own copy of every industrial sector. We don’t need all nations to manufacture their own jet engines, oil tankers, t-shirts, and Tylenol. Trade is good.

The idea that China is a major security threat is basically brand new. Half of century of economic policy can’t be reversed in 5 years.
Thank you for writing this- it aligns perfectly with what my own experience, as a white male in academia, has been with these issues.

When I talk to people outside academia about “DEI”, it’s clear to me that whatever they think that term means, it has no relationship to anything I’ve ever seen in my career (involving faculty searches, recruitment of students and staff, education, involvement in clinical trial design and recruitment, etc.).
