It is because they want to be those oppressors. And they think this type of legislation might prevent them from being such. They want to be rich and exploit other people as much as possible with little as possible consequences.
This could be the IMF fighting fire with gasoline.

The IMF is afraid of Bitcoin because it threatens the Dollar.

The IMF bribes El Salvador to reduce their support for Bitcoin.

El Salvador uses the bribe to buy more Bitcoin.

If Bitcoin catches on around the world and the IMF is fighting it by throwing money at it, that could lead to an accelerated adoption curve.

Summary: Hello, I’m a Full-Stack Engineer with 6+ years of experience building robust and scalable applications for web and mobile platforms. I have experience with JavaScript, TypeScript, React, Node.js and Flutter, I enjoy working in collaborative environments, solving problems, and driving projects from ideation to deployment
This fuckery will continue unabated for the rest of our lives until we collectively stop paying income taxes with the demand that a Constitutional amendment is put in place to force the government to be honest and helpful both around the procurement (just sending a dang bill) and government spending (expressly forbidding genocides, foreign coups, certain bailouts, etc) with real teeth in it.

Of course, right now it seems even the existing amendments are not safe. Our government is a non-functioning, dishonest imperial oligarchy, and we just keep paying our tithing out of fear, telling ourselves it's all going to schools and highways.
Children of rich people don't automatically deserve all of that money they did nothing to earn.
Yeah, that's another website I would like to center.
I benchmarked this out of curiosity. Even using the bitshift and eliding the bounds checks (unsoundly), it's 22% slower than my optimized version.
How is this different from any previous president?

Isn't the very reason that the puppets "need replacing" (according to the president) tell you that they are of the wrong (previous president's) political flavor?

Honest question, I'm not from US, but on the surface it just looks like more of the same thing that has always been happening? Except with way more media attention?
"the revenue from inheritance taxes should be given in the form of shares to the employees of whichever company the deceased had ownership of."

This is actually a really good idea!

What do you mean, why should my money NOT go up in value?
That is interesting I never thought about bench press doing that, and I have that issue but I love bench. I do a lot of other back exercise work so hopefully that and your tips can balance it out. Thanks!
They weren’t the only ones building it, for what it’s worth. They were well aware of that.

If you knew a country wanted to build a weapon to cripple your own country, and you had the necessary skills to build that weapon, would you feel come compulsion to try and build it first in order to protect your family and friends? To protect yourself?
The last part about Empathy is the most important one.

I've always refused to be a manager, but I had little time for anyone that used me as a tool. We're working together, not under. Good managers a good communicator first. Communication flows better if you're on the same level, that works best one on one and not through memos.

Approach your people and hear them first. Help them understand why we're going in this direction and if they can see it from your point of view, everyone will fall in line in one direction. Listening first will give you ideas on how best you can deliver your message and if you solve their problems, they'll follow you to hell and back.

The more stand-off-ish and cold you are, the least they'll be invested in you back.
Even if you have your own money you need stable foreign currency to operate.

It's not like you just choose to issue debt in foreign denomination cause it's fun.
The Floyd riots in Portland a few years ago which got memory holed.

Rioters were shining high power military-grade lasers at peace officers, assaulting cops. They sieged government buildings and destroyed and burned much of their own city. Nothing happened to most of them.

A young boy was shot and killed in Seattle (where a few blocks of the city 'seceded' from the US) and I watched some LARPing teenager dressed like a dollar-store ninja hit a cop in the head with a baseball bat (the ninja turned out to be a local politician's son so I can imagine the punishment levied). The mayor went on TV and described all this madness as a "summer of love".

The behaviour I observed was abhorrent and eclipsed anything that transpired on Jan 6.

Yet it was all conveniently forgotten.

Smashing some doors and windows was child's play in comparison, and the melodrama surrounding 1/6 was over the top. I actually heard someone describe it as "worse than 9/11". They were serious, too.

And you want me to believe the guy on 1/6 with the buffalo horns is somehow comparable to the cowards blinding people with industrial lasers? The Portland riots to this day is some of the most insane footage I've ever seen and the lack of punishment and length of time it was allowed to go on is unbelievable.

Most of the Portland rioters should still be in jail but most got off with a slap on the wrist if they got any punishment at all.

It's an inconvenient truth for some because I remember even middle aged Google engineers were arrested for acting like fools. You would think educated people would know better.

There is a 100% chance some posters on this very website were at the Portland or Seattle riots and somehow have justified that their participation was righteous.

I imagine the 1/6 folks felt the same way.
Rule 13 from The Elements of Programming Style:

> Write first in easy-to-understand pseudo language; then translate into whatever language you have to use. [1]

I write in a simplified version of C. Pseudocode helps you concentrate on the data structures, module boundaries, and control flow without getting bogged down and distracted with the details and trivia of a specific language. You can read and walk through the code in your head.

I know this advice seems contrary to the copy/paste let the IDE or "AI" do it mentality, but as the industry shakes out (again) the programmers who can actually write code to solve business problems will still have jobs, and those who memorize and automate won't.

All true, but these llm systems aren't random, there's certain intent behind them, they are supposed to do something. So if they do what they are supposed to, then the intent - which is human intent - exists, but it's something that the human creator of the tool did not intend, I don't think any human court would recognize it as a basis for a contract.
We moved to fiat because politicians like the indirect taxation through inflation. It's free money for them, what's not to like?

Info: Hi, I'm Jagdish Parihar! A Backend Engineer with 4+ years of experience building scalable systems and microservices using Rust, Node.js, and Golang. I've contributed to open-source projects like Apache DataFusion and thrive on solving complex backend challenges.

I'm exploring the opportunity to be working in the DB based startups. I am looking for an entry to be an engineer who will work on databases. Currently, I am contributing to open source, looking for part-time/full-time working with databases.

Just in case anyone else reads this and is confused. MRIs only use radio waves. No ionizing (or visible or even IR) radiation is used. The strong magnetic fields are a risk (due to interacting with metallic items embedded in the body). The contrast agents also can cause some undesirable side effects.

That's... not what the issue is, that is the bare minimum expectation.
In that case, could you begin proving that point by having it write an http request parser. Let's make it easy and have it require content length header and no support for chunked encoding at first. Csn pick any language you like but since thats such critical infrastructure it must export a C API. Let's also restrict it to HTTP 1/1.1 for the sake of time.

Concidering this would probably at most take a days work to get at least a workable prototype done if not a full implementation, using an AI you should be able to do it in a lunch break.
Any type of redundancies.. Geo, power, network. There's a million possible reasons why someone can't just deploy on a pi and call it a day.
Unused RAM is wasted. If you have plenty available then doing useless memory releases (including dropping/destroying objects with RAII, which can end up doing a lot of work in case of a data structure containing other objects that have to be dropped) will just hurt your throughput. Nonetheless, Java has a pretty trivial single flag to set an appropriate heap size if you are not happy with the default.

You are thinking of AOT compiled, but does that AOT language support arbitrary class loading to expand functionality, live observability while taking almost zero overhead for that?

> will ensure that the models, software, data and evaluation will be fully open

I am VERY curious about that. Will they open up ALL the training data? Which would be a massive amount I'd guess, but I'd be curious where they got it and how they got it. Inb4 they just take some meta model and retrain it and then only publish the data from the fine tuned training.
I wish you a great remainder of your day!

Because of Trump's history. Trump attempted a self-coup in 2020 by trying to overturn the election. This attempt was foiled because many judges, public officials, etc. resisted it, including many Republicans. Now Trump is back in power, and Democrats are very nervous about anything that looks like "Trump packing the government with loyalists" or "Trump trying to gain more power over public officials", because that would make it easier for Trump to attempt a future self-coup.

In short: Framing this as "cutting waste, fraud, and abuse" is assuming good faith, but given Trump's history, he doesn't deserve a presumption of good faith.

(Secondary to that: There's a difference between "cutting waste, fraud, and abuse" versus "shutting down entire functions of government without a replacement". Look at Musk trying to shut down USAID, for example. If Musk wanted to "cut waste, fraud, and abuse", that would mean "reforming USAID to achieve the same outcomes while spending less money". Instead, Musk is proposing to eliminate USAID entirely. Even if not for the self-coup angle, that's clearly not just "cutting waste, fraud, and abuse". Foreign aid is established by Congress, and only Congress has the constitutional authority to eliminate that aid.)
Does proxmox have 24/7 enterprise support yet?
They are talking about two different things.

One is gerrymandering, which is drawing district boundaries to build in an advantage for your party. Both parties do that.

The other is trying to disenfranchise people. The GOP have been the ones doing most of that.
You're right, it won't be. This is the only positive thing I can currently see. They could've easily pulled it off without resistance (i.e. bloodshed) in most of Europe, but in the US the indoctrination of US exceptionalism regarding "freedom" and "democracy" from an early age results in a non-negligible number of people who would actually put their lives on the line for this and willing to take part in active resistance.

Purely anecdotally from seeing a small part of military-adjacent tech, while most definitely voted for Trump and some of them will be MAGA-converts, most of them actually belived in that mission and won't be aligned with a proper dictatorship. They'll have to play it very carefully, keep elections but rig them just enough to make the outcome inevitable, to keep these people able to convince themselves it's still a democracy, boiling the frog very slowly. It might be preferable for them to actually accelerate things and go full Putin, there'll be a lot more active resistance that way.
I love this.

Was just talking with a friend how marketing/sales/life itself is just doing the same thing over and over again and how much that can annoy me.

But the metaphor of beating a drum, playing a rhythm to sync everyone, really lands with me, almost makes me want to do it now, and I may use the metaphor for a very long time. Thank you.
I have been burned by quite a few projects that start open source and then switch to enterprise only closed source after a few years, abandoning the small community.

The last one is Hasura and I am now done with such open source SaaS. I would rather dig the Apache foundation graveyard.

Why are you guys saying adopting Bitcoin was a failure? Because the wallet used by its citizens is too complex and nobody uses it?

Or because Bircoin more than doubled in Price since El Salvador started buying?

El Salvador will not sell its bitcoins and keep on adding them,
maybe now as strategic reserve.

Meanwhile Tether is moving to El Salvador.
That'd be very very good actually. I'd be happy if institutions would use that where one could TECHNICALLY (maybe just a miniscule amount of people would do that) verify data from end to end, instead of some "open" model that is actually not open at all. A little worse performance is a good trade-off imo
> If we are trying to port a C library to Rust, we really do not want to introduce panics in the code, even for unusual error condition.

"We'd much rather like to make library to corrupt the memory of the rest of the application and generally make the demons fly out of the users' noses, as it does when written in C"?

I believe implementations of C stdio also can abort on program startup if somehow the pthreads' locking mechanism is broken (or if e.g. fcntl(2)/open(2) keeps returning -1), Rust is not that unique in this regard.
Could you kindly write a blog post regarding a recent development in GaN chargers? Many thanks.
As a non-American I don't think Jan 6 was overblown. It had some real potential for escalation had Pence given in to Trump's demands. At the same time I do think the prosecution was too harsh, though that can be said from just about any crime in the US. Morally Trump is way more responsible for Jan 6 than any of the protestors.

As someone who lives here, I'd actually be surprised if we even got that. I expect lots of taxpayer funded websites, manifestos, PowerPoints and numerous discussions and ultimately nothing.
I was emailing rent to my roommate 6+ years ago for zero fees with GPay, it's hard to see it being easier than that.
I largely see this type of collaboration as a very inefficient form of a distributed company (team) where members of that team do not have other incentive but to (mostly) collect points on research papers. There is no incentive to actually build a product in such a setting and there is no incentive to remain competitive since you cannot be fired, or penalized in some other form. And generally speaking, as an individual you don't care about the industry (market) competition since you mostly care about remaining relevant within your very narrow scope of your research topic. So, this is why this doesn't work. There is no coherent mass toward the same goal. Seemingly there is but there isn't.
You mean like details about who killed him and why?
because java is not designed for it. It's retrofitted in, because of trends.

There's actually, imho, no need for native compilation for java tbh. Why isn't shipping the runtime with the code a more common practise? it's how intellij or eclipse worked. People today ship electron apps for god sakes!

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

Really appreciate the "How it works" section in the README. In general I think it's great when projects give a high-level overview of the architecture and techniques involved, it provides an easy way for a newcomer to quickly grasp the fundamental workings of the project.
Many researchers learn LaTeX by looking at the idioms used for the papers they really like.

That includes code for Tikz figures.

I hope people will use this tool only to remove the inadvertent disclosure of commented regions and to reduce the file size. But keep the LaTeX source intact otherwise!
25yr Old with Elon Musk Ties Has Direct Access to the Federal Payment System
I want to, at least if I get the same kind of severance package that people got in the last round of layoffs.

Stuck in this job at a senior level with >25 years of experience, in part because there is no plan/budget for promotions to principal engineer and in part because only few engineers are left in this country. Working from Europe in a global remote team of a well-known US company in rapid decline. Still profitable though. When interested in an open management position, I have been told that I am too technical for the role - which is kind of right, but I have worked as a tech lead and other people told me to that it would be a good fit for me. I'd just quit, but 100% remote is important because of my current family situation; the work itself is fine; I have a good reputation and am always put into the most interesting projects; it's quite relaxed (no overtime, no on-call) and the salary is ok'ish. The looming severance package in the next round of layoffs, which seems inevitable, would also offer financial security to start a new career, like freelancing. Unfortunately I seem to be too valuable to fire so far, but maybe they just end software development at this location.
Depends on your perspective. Many people would consider someone like Fauci non-partisan and more of a competent career expert, but Trumps people think he is very political and purge people like that. At the FBI they purge people who are probably quite competent and not particularly partisan but happened to work on Trumps case, which is mostly about sending a message I think not do much about finding the right employees to work at the FBI. This is very un American in my view.

> Like, life in USA became more or less good only several generations ago, after the country became giant economical winner of WW2.

This judgement of course depends upon the standards of the observer and where in the US you look. Before the attack on Pearl Harbor, many elites in the Empire of Japan had spent time in America and came to view America as spoiled, decadent, and too soft to fight a long war.
> but the next four years will be the stress test of the strength of US institutions against an authoritarian president.

As well as a stress test against half the voting population that thinks an authoritarian president is peachy and somehow patriotic.
> What kind of AWS setup leads to surprise bills? If your blog ends up on front page of HN how much is the traffic spike going to cost? $100? $1000? $10000?

Wait! You just answered your own question, no?! Yes, the surprise is the amount on the bill. If I expect to pay 10$ for monthly, then 100 is about a year's worth I did not plan for, and 1000$ is a ton I never want to having to plan for.
If Musk stops any payment that Congress has approved he is breaking the law. and the US Constitution. Considering he is an immigrant he could have his citizenship revoked and be deported.

You still believe the lies that con artist Musk tells you? He isn't ever going to Mars. Tesla is never going to have FSD so good they are willing to take legal liability for accidents the way Waymo does.
No, it does not! Headline writer is wrong again. The evidence in favor of slowing down “aging” is based on indirect epigenetic indicators of biological age. But these assays only measure the status of white blood cell-—not human health, aging or lifespan. Slowing or reversing these indicators could be interpreted as a good sign but does not mean aging has been slowed.

Hoever, two of the epigenetic indicators hardly budged—-GrimAge and DunedinPACE. The other two predictors picked up a modest positive effect of omega-3 by itself but weirdly NOT in combination with mild regular exercise. That implies the study is just not well powered.

Methods are solid but sample size is underwhelming; about under 100 subjects in each of 8 arms of a factorial design.

What can be said is that this mild dietary intervention may help and is unlikely to hurt. That unfortubately does not make a snappy headline for the Guardian?

Questions: Did the team correct for multiple tests? I may have missed that.
Not a comment on your overall statement but I want to point out the irony of mentioning Trump and Musk in a positive light and nepotism in a negative one.
the guy predicted today's coup by the broligarchy against the Deep State (more precisely what happens isn't coup even though it looks like it, in the short time i think we'll see that it is really a takeover of the Deep State by the broligarchy):

>That said, evidence is accumulating that Silicon Valley is losing billions in overseas business from companies, individuals and governments that want to maintain privacy. For high tech entrepreneurs, the cash nexus is ultimately more compelling than the Deep State’s demand for patriotic cooperation.
