> Like, implement a 5% tax on their wealth, and just fix all the problems.

My understanding is that's nowhere near enough.

The USA deficit is $1.8 Trillion a year with $30T total. The net worth of all USA billionaires is around $4.5T. So 5% would reduce the deficit by 10% until the billionaires wise up and move their wealth out of the country.

Even confiscating it all in a one-off pile reduces the national debt by about 15%.

I work on Terrateam[0], an open source IaC orchesterator. In our opinion, workspaces in Terraform/Tofu kind of suck. The problem is: multiple environments are never actually the same. Workspaces are built under the premise that the differences are small enough to encode in some conditionals, but that just doesn't scale well.

What we recommend people do is use modules to encapsulate the shape of your infrastructure and parameterize it. Then have each environment be a directory which instantiates the module (or modules).

This is more robust for a few reasons:

1. In most cases, as you scale, differences between environments will grow, with this approach you don't have to make a single root module act like a bunch of root modules via variables and conditionals, instead each environment is its own root module and if you need to do something unique in a particular environment, you can just implement that in the appropriate root module.

2. It's easier to see what environments are under management by inspecting the layout of the repository. With workspaces, you need to understand how whatever tooling you are using is executed because that is where the environments will be expressed.

Last weekend I also implemented what I call "Terralith" which is a proof-of-concept for how to treat a single root module as multiple environments in a principled way. I wrote a blog about the experience if anyone is interested: https://pid1.dev/posts/terralith/

But I'm sure this will be cost free for the us, since he is against war. Right? Right?
I disagree. Version control is kind of a pain, you need to understand some of the underlying concepts or you'll break your git repo in spectacular ways.

The command line isn't that hard to use if you've ever used the command line before. Beginners trying to learn git and command line at the same time (which is very common) will get utterly confused, though, and for a lot of beginners that's the case. The only difficult part with git over the command line is fixing merge conflicts, I'd recommend anyone to use any IDE rather than doing that manually.

No IDE will be of any help for getting back to normal when you get into a detached HEAD state, which IDEs will gladly let you do if you click the right button.
Several of them could have been, but without any repetitions, and given the lack of obvious signal in we actually recorded, and given the known natural processes that can cause transient radio bursts, the best bet is they're probably not aliens.

Non-proliferation has been dead for at least a decade. (Great article I can’t find right now in Le Monde Diplo.)

The screaming nail the coffin was our reaction to Ukraine, where Russia’s nukes dominated the conversation, versus Iran, where their non-existent nukes did not. Ukraine was proven stupid trading its nukes for empty promises. The world saw and learned.
it’s a good read, but i think it should focus more on some of the common mistakes that people make when slicing a slice.
Genocide is above and beyond 'politics'. So is a bunch of tech bros being given physical access to the US Treasury under the direction of a tech oligarch, in defiance of dozens of laws. Entire federal agencies are being shut down on a whim, again, in defiance of dozens of laws and safeguards.

These things directly impact the tech community in a massive way - just look at Google dropping their pledge not to use AI for military purposes, this week of all weeks.
He’d have a long way to go to get down to the number of federal agencies that existed in 1900, let alone the number in 1800, yet the US had its constitution, then, too.
What if I told you most Chinese people really are more eager than the "CCP" to take over Taiwan?
The results aren't misleading, shockingly large numbers of "computer professionals" have no idea how networks work, but that's because they can't use the tools rather than the tools being misleading
They are only misleading if you allow yourself to be misled by them. It's an extremely informative measurement if you are aware of how it works and don't misinterpret the results.
Let's be real, this lets them have a free PR win without having to actually give up anything at all.
Soo... I mean... Can anything go wrong when you take people extremely well trained in covert action, with a lot of know-how about how US and allied intelligence agencies work, and take their income away after 8 months?

Would they take money for doing much the same job but for another employer, less fullt aligned to America's interests?

I'm sure most of them would never dream of it, but there may be the odd one with a sick child and a desperate need for money.

I didn't say they did anything to mainline git's source code.

Hell, I didn't even say they accomplished their goal. I just criticized the goal, not just for github but for everyone else doing the same thing. And the goal is about git repos. Lots of those are on github, and lots of those are influenced by the things github did.

TL;DR: Lots of people removed "master" from git repos.
they are still anyway designed to be recoverable as a fundamental aspect of rust

so that e.g. you web server doesn't fall over just because one request handler panics

and it still is fundamental required that any code is safe in context of panic recovery (UnwindSafe is misleading named and actually not about safety, anything has to be "safe" in context of unwind, UnwindSafe just indicates that it's guaranteed to have sensible instead of just sound behavior in rust)

people over obsessing with panic should be unrecoverable is currently IMHO on of the biggest problems in rust not in line with any of it's original design goals or how panics are in the end design to work or how rust is used in many places in production

yes they are not "exceptions" in the sense that you aren't supposed to have fine grained recoverablility, but recoverability anyway

without recoverable panics you wouldn't be able to write (web and similar) servers in a reasonable robust way in rust without impl some king of CGI like pattern, which would be really dump IMHO and is one of the more widely used rust use cases

You pay the amount of VAT based on where you live. I agree it would be better to display that on the pricing page though.

As for the privacy claims they have a fairly easy to read privacy policy that goes into details about what they do and particularly don't do with your data. There is no vague wording to hide behind.

But what if they are replaced by government workers who are made redundant? It might just balance out.
The caveat "with technology similar to ours" precludes that, I think.

We know how to do that, but we also know how to build an O'Neill cylinder, a phased array optical telescope covering the surface of the moon, or an orbital ring — but practical considerations mean we actually can't.
Cainiao (AliExpress's shipment arm) and others will probably end up chartering planes to get customs' cleared packages to the US and then cross-ship them from somewhere in the US like Kentucky or Long Beach. Shipping costs will rise but hopefully not by much.
are they talking about trailers?
Precisely. This is probably not a long-term constructive plan, but rather "they punched me, I'm gonna punch them back 10x harder." (didn't Trump even say something like that before?)

Vengeance can make people do crazy things and the craziest thing is how people don't realize vengeance can destroy them just as much, if not more than their intended target. Not so much shooting ourselves in the foot, more like stabbing ourselves in the heart.

My life and work is to help people to realize how responding with hate or indifference will destroy us, and that responding with love is the only way through.
We canceled Netflix some time ago. Being too busy, spending our precious free time on something better than browsing through the not that brilliant quality collection, trying to find something we would not regret wasting time on. Probably 5% or less is for us in there? For the 'staring out of our head being exchausted for any meaningful thing including sleeping' times there is Amazon Prime, which we have for deliveries anyway. Once in every 2 months or so? (our pure TV is neglected, being a black rectange decoration mostly)

Kagi in the other hand is useful.

Probably that's why Netflix has to play hardball with their customers, chasing their money hard and strong, pushing them around, not Kagi? : )
yeah i concede i don't know everything, but honestly if you're not from or living in the US i would also re-examine your view of things. you have a different objective view but miss a lot of the context. it's easy to intellectualize the whole situation and come up with these solutions. this kind of reasoning is what i've gone through already trying to make excuses for people and it sounds nice on paper but it doesn't hold.

i'll tell you from personal experience there exists huge swaths of people in my community that voted for trump not because of any of his policies or a feeling that dems didn't bring change, but because they worship him like a religious figure. or they demonize anything that isn't conservative and treat it like team sports. it really doesn't seem to be much more complicated than that for some people no matter what angle you try to come in with (lack of education, not tending to their needs, etc.)
That's basically similar to some historical centres in some cities in italy (eg. Pisa, Firenze). Although in italy, traffic is reduced and not zeroed, mostly limited to only people living there. This way, people can still use a car to move when they need, but it's still walkable for everybody

Show HN: Runchat, mini agents for creative automation (Productainment?)
Hey HN,

Firstly, to head things off at the pass: Runchat is another reactflow + llm app and we apologise for that.

Runchat is a node based editor for building things (workflows, mini agents, web apps, branching dialogues, etc) using three simple building blocks: an llm, http requests and a sandboxed js environment.

We started building Runchat to try and solve what we see as one of the biggest issues with llms: people assume they are creative and constantly ask them for ideas, when they aren't and their ideas are bad. Our hunch is that the chat UI for llms is the inhibiting factor here, and that llms might actually be great for a bunch of creative tasks if we could use them more systemically.

In Runchat, interactions with language models are a branching dialogue with explicit history. Returning and changing any part of the conversation propagates changes through the remainder of the dialogue. Each prompt must necessarily describe an action the language model needs to perform, rather than an exchange in a one-off chat. In this way, Runchat can research, write and run tasks.

To make Runchat more useful in more ways, every Runchat can become a node in some other Runchat. You can build a tool once then reuse it again and again, or share it so others don't have to reinvent the wheel. These can also be used as tools by llms. If you want an llm to be able to search hackernews, you can make a Runchat that does this via api, then add this as a tool to your prompt and away you go. This feels pretty easy, so we're excited about the potential.

Runchat is also quite fun. It's fast (super fast with Groq) and we're trying to keep it free for the average punter (by using OpenRouter). This is also so that the barriers to exploring creative uses of llms for making things like recommendation engines, simple games or other "useless" tools is as low as possible. Using Runchat feels like you're making something, rather than just filling in a form and we like that.

We know node-based editors are opinionated, prompting is weird and hard and apps don't usually fall in both the "Productivity" and "Entertainment" categories. We know we're a bit crazy. But we will get round to polishing this and would love a bit of healthy HN feedback.

Clearly if someone grant them write privilegies it means someone else had admin privilegies as well to that system.
How many people have normally access to it? Why is it particularly weird that someone working in the government have access to a system about payments?
It seems to me that generic fear is being mentioned rather than very tangible and clear dangers. It makes me feel like the people wanting to create panic have a hidden agenda and they just want to avoid someone from the opposition to audit the budgets.
How can DOGE find out if there are expenses that should be cut if it doesn't even have access to what is actually being paid?
I think everyone is generically afraid that their department is gonna get the cut and just doesn't want the audit to happen.
Title plays with the word aid from the now dismantled United States Agency for International Development (USAID) which is a channel to stem projects in favor to the US worldwide. Maybe Trump didn't understand the value of it or is principally against such methods.

Steve Meretzky – Working with Douglas Adams on the Hitchhiker's Guide
We talked with the designer behind games such as The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, A Mind Forever Voyaging and Leather Goddesses of Phobos.

American game designer Steve Meretzky startet his career at Infocom, where he created some of the great adventure classics of the eighties. For instance, it was he who got the task of making the official Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy game together with author Douglas Adams, a game that became a massive bestseller and is still remembered for its great jokes and devilish puzzles.
Also you can easily have the TTL expired message going via a different route on the return path (and indeed the same applies with your normal connections, asymetric routing can be a pain - especially in networks with rpf issues (multicast ones are a particular pain point), and with stateful firewalls, but most of the time it's fine. You just need to be aware.

Obviously you know, but for anyone else reading, a modern traceroute tool (like mtr) can send icmp, udp or tcp, on generic or specific ports. Indeed the default for mtr on my laptop is to use icmp.
There are many cases in C++ where the type is unspecified (std::bind for example), or even is unutterable (lambdas, or unnamed structures). I think F-strings would be an example of the latter.

You can always box of course (std::function, std::any at the limit), but it has a non-trivial cost.

what I mean is that once you want to access some API, the standard is C, so the headers you will get are in C. For example: windows.h. To do anything, either you have translated windows.pas, or you need to manually rewrite the function definitions. Another example: if you would like to access HongKong Exchange, you will receive a .so object and omni_api.h file, which is damn hard to understand, easier to use.

That's why I said about freedom.

> Note that most people can't even afford to go to one university, let alone four. That definitely seems like someone who had a safety net that allowed him to focus on acquiring wealth, instead of acquiring shelter or food.

In 1986 a smart person who was willing to live cheaply could definitely do this. Doing a PhD is not evidence of a "family golden nugget", in my view. I don't know when he did his art studies, but still. Giant numbers of middle class people do not do what Paul Graham did, even though they had enough "safety net" to do that studying.
Banned from Flutter: Wrong Nationality?
Not what I expected, I guess that's an important observation to make as well.
This is pretty much right, by the book. It seems clear that there were multiple confounding factors: a high risk, under-resourced training mission performed by relatively inexperience pilots operating as a normal transport mission as far as the controllers were aware.

I think we're going to wind up talking about SOP and whether visual separation is permissible in this class of airspace when using NVGs or under other conditions present in this mishap, e.g., on nighttime training. There are companies (lufty for instance) that, by policy, prohibit visual separation at night.

There might be some scrutiny on the controller for approving visual separation in the first place, and I think that'll get into weeds of how he should have known the risk factors for the helo. Still, as Juan notes, it didn't sound like thoughtful consideration, but like rote call and response.

This would have been prevented if the helo had to take vectors. There would be no talk of visual separation. The controller was aware of how tight it was, and if it were simply a rule, he would have told the helo to hold present position, waited for an appropriate place in the sequencing, and then given a clearance.
Yes, exactly. People who want to "disable" it have no idea how the web works. Developers have all kinds of misconceptions about what it is, I even heard someone saying it disallows backends to call their API.
I don't understand. Are you saying Paul Graham got a job at Westinghouse due to nepotism?
I second the part about OKCupid.

(For the first part of your post I think I am not qualified to comment).

I don't know if networking implementations in low-budget and rural regions is a purely STEM topic. The mere fact it talks about low-budget and rural regions suggests to me it interacts with geography and sociology and development economics, which to me makes sense that it'd incorporate ideas from those fields as well.
On one hand, you're partially right: It's a pretty sad state of affairs that our only choices in the previous election were "maybe let's not elect a fascist" and a fascist. I can totally agree with you that I would have loved an option that was "let's make life better".

On the other hand, what does it say about our society that given those two options, we picked the Fascist? It's not like the messaging from the Republicans was unclear: they ran on a platform of attacking the rights of women, LGBTQ+ people, and immigrants. And more than 30% of the citizens of our country said "sounds good. Count me in". Another 30-odd% decided it didn't really matter to them one way or the other. Only 30-something-percent of Americans said "wow, that's kinda fucked up. Let's not do that".
> social media and tech just made this 10x more effective.

Social media took away the hesitation of crowing about stupid things. If many people are saying it, maybe I am not stupid after all. The legitimisation and amplification of dumbness is a big contributor to the current state. Among other things of course.

Having small parts of the overall government checked and cut is not radical, and current world events and US history show much more radical moments.

Again, perspective.

It'll be radical if a security agency is cut (given their power), or if a constitutional amendment occurs that has minority public support, the US invades a nearby country, a national health service is instituted… there are so many examples I could be here all night listing them all, but fiddling with less than 10% of an enormous budget that has ballooned is not radical. I can remember Bill Clinton's government, that wasn't radical and that's the direction of this government.
