Oh, can't wait for the article on Medium on how they rewrote that old COBOL thing in React Native and NodeJS in 3 days and saved bilions (by not delivering them).
Yes, but programming languages are categorically limited to context-free grammar. This means that every expression written in a programming language is explicitly defined to have precisely one meaning.

The advantage of natural language is that we can write ambiguously defined expressions, and infer their meaning arbitrarily with context. This means that we can write with fewer unique expressions. It also means that context itself can be more directly involved in the content of what we write.

In context-free grammar, we can only express "what" and "how"; never "why". Instead, the "why" is encoded into every decision of the design and implementation of what we are writing.

If we could leverage ambiguous language, then we could factor out the "why", and implement it later using context.
Wow.

There's people who actually believe this stuff?

Hopefully these people are not allowed to infect the NTSB with their idiocy. We have to keep focused on safety. Which means we don't ignore the root cause of helo pilots losing, (or maybe never even having), situational awareness.

How can we make the space safe even if helo pilots lose situational awareness?

All this DEI nonsense has to take a back seat to answering those primary safety related questions. This is not a game, or political rally, or whatever. We have to fix this.
If it were possible to work all that out in the interview then there wouldn't be any bad hires.

As a wishlist I like it, I just don't see how you're going to assess all that in an interview. You'll notice that the technique of the day ("teach me something") doesn't address any of the dot points and that holds for ... pretty much any technique. Interviews are a weak process for assessing anything.
I like JAX but I'm not sure how an ML framework debate like "JAX vs PyTorch" is relevant to DeepSeek/PTX. The JAX API is at a similar level of abstraction to PyTorch [0]. Both are Python libraries and sit a few layers of abstraction above PTX/CUDA and their TPU equivalents.

[0] Although PyTorch arguably encompasses 2 levels, with both a pure functional library like the JAX API, as well as a "neural network" framework on top of it. Whereas JAX doesn't have the latter and leaves that to separate libraries like Flax.
And not allowing people to take anxiety meds is nuts. Some of those meds seem perfect for this job, putting you in a very mellow, but focused state.

Hey Siri, what's a tarpit idea?
Experiences differ. I did go on unsubscribe jags from time to time at my last employer because I ended up on email lists from a lot of events.

But really, I get 5-10 emails a day now in my primary inbox and I don't really have many filters. I DO get a lot in Promotions and Updates, but most of the stuff in Promos I can safely ignore and I mostly keep my eye on Updates if I'm expecting something I might want to deal with there.

Email is still my primary channel for the most part.

The next person to suggest the Dems need to swing right needs to be thrown in a volcano, or at least outed as an obvious fifth columnist. Harris ran so far to the right she was campaigning with Liz Cheney on being tough on immigration, and she lost the election to a geriatric felon autocrat with no coherent plans because Democratic turnout was down. There’s no credible argument for that style of campaign anymore, and anyone suggesting otherwise is either dangerously incompetent or dangerously disingenuous.
Any thoughts on this? I’d be interested to try, but I’m reticent to sign up if I’m likely to just get people from my own industry rather than potential clients.
I agree. I’m putting “there are zero ways to interpret this that are okay” into that bucket of generalised binary nonsense.
Did the call sign go to KSQL because of Oracle being right there?
Of the recent places I've worked, both use it. Block was at ~14,000 employees, but I think they're currently at ~12,500. My current company uses it, and we're ~2,000.
Yeah I agree with this. The mass media combined with social media is going to make it even harder over the next 4 years to know what's real and what isn't. We really need to train ourselves to look empirically at the evidence and form our beliefs based only on facts. I think this is not so much "onlookers" freaking out, but rather a massive propaganda machine freaking out.
I was writing about the general case. I apologize if that wasn't clear from the start. I don't know anything about you personally though I'm sure we'd have some great conversations over a glass of wine (or coffee or whatever :) )!

> The fact you assume people are going to do things they believe to be morally reprehensible is troubling to me.

This seems to be very common behavior in my experience. Perhaps the rhetoric doesn't match the true beliefs. I'm not sure.
Your comments that MS is a completely differnt company are absolutely correct.

MS owns github, linkedin, and it's cloud services in azure, etc, are outside the initial desktop OS business model. Not to mention it being one of the biggest contributors to the linux kernel (to my chagrin). All of this is because of the slide in significance and dominance of it's windows OS business.

This OS business is still quite present though, such as in the h/w upgrades being pushed on users now in migrating to win11. The big h/w OEMs pay windows OS royalties for all those new computers.

Also, WRT your mention of the h/w driver dominance of MS, it's ironic to note that in the modern world h/w peripherals still often come with a custom windows driver, when their use on linux is almost always supported by standard USB class device drivers. A notable failure to evolve.
Roc couldn't be optimized for writing the Roc compiler without sacrificing some of its own goals. For example, Roc is completely memory-safe, but the compiler needs to do memory-unsafe things. Introducing memory-unsafety into Roc would just make it worse. Roc has excellent performance, but it will never be as fast as a systems language that allows you to do manual memory management. This is by design and is what you want for the vast majority of applications.

There are a number of new imperative features that have been (or will be) added to the language that capture a lot of the convenience of imperative languages without losing functional guarantees. Richard gave a talk about it here: https://youtu.be/42TUAKhzlRI?feature=shared.

Fortnite is a closed system, everything controlled by one company. ATC is not.

But yes, presumably there is scope for improved tools.
How about money in the financial system. What would happen if someone makes a mistake, and something causes bond payments to fail?

It is an outside risk, but based on the reporting it seems like they are digging into code of large complex financial systems...

How much do you trust 1 guy to not make _any_ mistakes.

Maybe this is wrong and they are only looking at read only access of the payment system, but it seems sketchy that this is even a risk.
Have you not read the post? Because compile times. Rust has awful compile times. If it didn't, I'm sure the Roc team would have stayed with Rust.
Immigration protests are picking up in Los Angeles and, for maybe the first time ever, the cops are not busting them up.
I understand it’s trendy these days to shit on Spotify but when I read about this practice it kind of seems like a non-story. Spotify are adding low cost tracks to their curated playlists (which are usually quite boring) to save themselves some money. If you don’t like this practice just don’t listen to their curated playlists. There are so many better user generated playlists out there.
I don't understand how this isn't a giant public scandal. Is there something I'm missing here?
I think VR sickness is very different to motion sickness in traditional games. I've gotten VR sickness a few times. (first time on a DK2 in HL episode 2 during the car toss sequence because the FoV changes)

Watching a streamer play Hyperbolica gave me motion sickness, but playing the same game myself in VR gave me no issues at all.
> Nothing that Perplexity + DeepSeek-R1 can already do

Any public comparisons of OAI Deep Research report quality with Perplexity + DeepSeek-R1, on the same query?

How do cost and query limits compare?
I wouldn't trust my teenager with a "large" team of people in control of the federal payments system.
The divergence of civil servants from the public on issues like affirmative action or immigration go to policy preferences, not rights. Individual rights are enforced primarily by courts in any event.
That's only true if everyone in the group has an Apple phone, which has decreasing probability with every additional member. Excluding people from a conversation because they don't have the right brand of phone would be pretty antisocial.
ABI stability is one of those things that seems obvious ("sane"), until you try to implement ABI-stable unboxed generics and discover that the amount of complexity you incur, as well as the performance tax, is absurd. The code bloat with the resulting "intensional type analysis" actually makes the compile time worse (and the runtime far worse) than just specializing generics in many cases.
It exists in the same sense that "pie attack culture" exists. Some people certainly have been pied in the face, so how could you deny that "pie attack culture" exists?
If I’m reading this right, the insertion benchmark for TrailBase C# is hitting about 4.4k inserts of relatively small records per second per core.

What’s the bottleneck at that point? That number seems small even when stacked up against much slower examples.
Same, I’m not even European, but literally everyone uses WhatsApp for everything where I live, iPhones or not.

The only thing I get in my Messages app is verification codes and spam.

I don’t think I got a single SMS/iMessage from a human in the last 5 years.
Yeah I'm certainly in favor of term limits for almost every position, even if in some cases they'd be very generous limits. That sort of thing isn't a one-shot fix though, there's always the NEXT job to think about. "I'm a mayor for 4 years, limited by law, but I'll be governor next, and then a house member, then senator, etc." Or it might be about work in the private sector that comes after political life... incentives have a way of adapting themselves to this sort of remedy.

It's still a good idea, but term limits only really work as part of a much broader program of oversight and control over the incentives of politicians.
Compared to Rust its blazingly fast. Compared to Go compilation its slower.
Now I'm convinced that these degenerates saw the Slaughterbots[1] video and thought "what a great idea!" Tyranny as a service is coming and the techno-fascists are thrilled to be in control. Welcome to the torment nexus.

Show HN: LLMDog – Format your codebase for LLM interactions (JetBrains Plugin)
LLMDog streamlines code discussions with AI models by automating the process of preparing and formatting code for LLM interactions. It's a JetBrains IDE plugin supporting all their IDEs (IntelliJ, PyCharm, WebStorm, etc.).
Core functionality:

Generates formatted Markdown with proper syntax highlighting
Preserves directory structure
Handles multiple files and folders recursively
Auto-copies to clipboard
Works with any programming language
Integrates directly into the IDE workflow

Technical Implementation:

Written in Kotlin using JetBrains platform API
Uses JTree with custom cell renderer for file selection
Implements ToolWindowFactory for IDE integration
Handles virtual file system operations via VFS API
Provides consistent Markdown formatting for code blocks
Maintains full project context in generated output

Use Cases:

Code reviews
Debugging assistance
Documentation generation
Architecture discussions
Refactoring suggestions

The main goal was to eliminate the friction in preparing code for LLM discussions while maintaining consistent formatting and context, all without leaving your IDE.
I don't think they have what would be considered normal business hours. People are using the service and employees are working around the clock.
It's easy to set up an IRA where you can trade individual securities instead of index funds if that's what you want. Most people aren't competent traders and will underperform the index funds.
What I mean is, they are the potential limitations:

1. Modern VoIP applications are incompatible with Windows 95/98

2. Hardware availability

3. Networking issues

4. Driver support

5. Obsolete Protocols

6. Performance limitations (indeed, modern audio codecs may be an issue, incl. Opus and AAC)

A 250 MHz processor can handle basic voice chat but with significant limitations, and there is much more to it when it comes to practice... so while technically a 250 MHz processor might (for historical experimentation or nostalgia), in reality it is not practical for functional use today.
There's also a First Amendment violation going on, since Government Employee Elon Musk is censoring discussions about his work at the government, and about the other government employees involved, whose names etc. are--by law--public information.

I have a feeling that's a part of how we got a 2nd Trump term.
> What about hallucinations? Honestly, since GPT-3.5, I haven’t noticed ChatGPT or Claude doing a lot of hallucinating.

See this is what I don't get about the AI Evangelists. Every time I use the technology I am astounded at the amount of incorrect information and straight up fantasy it invents. When someone tells me that they just don't see it, I have to wonder what is motivating them to lie. There is simply no way you're using the same technology as me with such wildly different results.
This green text thing only happens in the US. Nobody really uses iMessage elsewhere.
Not sure everyone is still happy about their vote.

I used this card for a few months before usbank launched their smartly card, at which point I moved 100k from fidelity to a usbank IRA and now enjoy 4% cash back.
I agree with everything except there being a business opportunity there. Whatever ends up being the fix, all the big players will incorporate it into their own IDEs within a couple months. Unless the fix is something that is significantly different from an IDE, that incorporating it into one doesn't make sense.
Why in the world would you trust Elon and his cadre to do that investigation? The man has no self-control, has the temperament of a spoiled teenager, and by all accounts is a drug addict. He also has a shocking number of conflicts of interest.

I wouldn't trust Elon to water my plants!
The ever biggest GDPR fine was against Facebook, and it was less than 0.3% of their revenue. That is just a let us ignore GDPR tax. I don't know about small businesses, but big tech from US is fine.

AFAIK those parts of that law was changed somewhat
Ahh ok, sorry for misunderstanding you.
Their x86 backend seems to be more complete, bypassing LLVM and allowing for fast debug builds.
You're not entirely wrong but also not my nor Apple's problem. Things like universities can be status symbols but they're mostly not entirely status symbols. Plenty of other things like that too.

But if it's not bubble color, it will be the type of sneakers kids wear or whatever else is the fashion of the moment.

Only problem is, both "sides" are perfecting their benefit from this law from a game theoretical perspective.

Which is unsurprising, but surprisingly low in the perception of the political debate.

It's almost like that's an excuse and not a reason.
It's my fault. Sometimes I'm not very clear.
The idea was actually that employers would start to bear some responsibility for knowingly hiring illegal immigrants and thus creating an economic incentive for the migration.

That didn't really happen. You see plenty of roundups of illegal immigrants, many/most are employed. What you don't see ever are roundups of their employers.

If you want to actually see this problem solved immediately all you need to do is show a daily perp walk of the employers on the evening news for a few months.

the iBrand hasn't done a good job of explaining that no apple hardware product has to be bought, to sign up to this cloud.

In some ways, "Cloud, by Apple" would have been better because it could have had a subsidiary tagline 'open to anyone' -where iPhone, iPad are pretty solidly walled garden devices.

I'm not in marketing. I am sure smart marketing people would point out downsides. I just think iCloud "says" -not for me, unless I have an iPhone.
Why does it matter that information from a sports event that you are 1000 miles away from gets to you 3 seconds later?

If that were the case then no dictatorship anywhere would ever get embedded. Contrary to the widespread cultural belief in the US, people everywhere like freedom and integrity in public life; they're just not as individualistic about it, because most countries were settled many centuries earlier, and there is not an ethos of pioneering based on the idea of infinite free land and resources.

The problem with dictatorship is that of first-mover advantage; once a dictatorship becomes embedded it's hard to dislodge. There's de facto control of the legal, electoral, and cultural infrastructure which the regime can use to (ostensibly) re-legitimize itself every few years, while in the meantime suppressing dissent through violence and fear. That would be very much in line with the stated goals and actions of the administration so far. And I don't mean this hyperbolically; Trump stated that he would be a dictator on day one, and while his supporters brushed this off as a joke his autocratic behavior since entering office is wholly consistent with that.

Barring abrupt reversals in the next month or two, I think this is going to become a long-term situation, and there is simply no way the US can go back to two party pendulum politics after this. It would be like getting out of hospital after a stroke or a heart attack and heading straight back to an all-you-can-eat steakhouse.
I can support a diverse (young) and diverse (unknown, hired from the outside) team.

If the database is so insecure that anyone from Texas can just walk in, I would hope we find a way to secure our data.

I would assume a full audit is taking place. If not then demand it. We cannot allow people to spend our taxes without oversight.
Agree that there are ways to say it nicer, but I still contend that what I said was not aggressive. The poster started with "Correct!" and they didn't understand the thing they said was "correct." I think it's fair to point out that they inappropriately made statements about something they didn't know. They even admitted to learning it afterwards. Its fair criticism and if folks wanna be making claims online they should be able to handle it.
Right, you are hinting at the angle that other commenters have pointed at, which is that Vanguard runs a fund management business (which is what the article is about) but also runs a brokerage, does 401k/403b/529 administration, has an advisory business, etc. The total employee count refers to employees working across all those business units, and that includes a lot of customer service, regulatory, back office, etc.

OpenAI pretty much never acknowledge prior art in their marketing material because they want you to believe they are the true innovators, but you should not take their marketing claims for granted.
The Swift folks seem to manage just fine.
Incentivizing large corporate ranching conglomerates is not the solution, as agricultural diversity is our strength, especially in products and sources. Maybe small time ranching could be encouraged through tax rescindment programs?
