I’m pretty sure the coup happened in the 1930s when the government created the modern system of unaccountable executive agencies and a Supreme Court, under duress, approved it.

I have two theories.

A) At his core he's a cultural supremacist. Perhaps it began in a benign way when he was a boy trying to believe his ancestors deserved their place in South Africa's economic hierarchy and he deserved to ride to school in a limousine. Over time he gained power as a rich nerd, yet he began to sense limits to that power and longed for the kind of power held by leaders of tribes. Cultural trends led to more tribalism in politics which captured Elon's imagination, and because of his early conditioning the political messages rooted in cultural supremacy felt like powerful truths that he felt called to help promote. In Trump he sees a tribal chieftain fighting what is ultimately a noble battle and unencumbered by ideas that weaken or water down the ancestral spirit he is fighting for.

B) It's all purely opportunistic. Tactics upon tactics all based on some analysis that it's the only way he will personally save humanity by getting humans to Mars in time.
Because unfortunately, in the phone sector, the market has already shown the majority of users don't care who really owns their devices.

My hope is that Linux gets wide enough adoption to prevent that from becoming a feasible option for them in the future.

Linux already got a really wide adoption --- in the form of Android.
Hah. You should check out my other comment on how I think we’re obviously in a simulation (remember, we just need to see a good enough render).

LLMs are changing how I see reality.
It’s interesting

12 years ago I released v1.0 of the full stack open source platform for anyone to use to quickly put together pretty much anything on the Web in a standard way, and focus on actually growing it, but I have faced opposition from day 1, on weird bases

First, I was told that the name of my library “conflicts with the excellent Q.js library for promises” and that no one was going to take a look. Well, promises are built into browsers now. But I renamed it to Qbix Platform back then.

See for yourself LOL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6053211 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6053296 (2013)

Then people told me that it doesn’t use the latest React / Angular / Web Components / Typescript whatever, and looks old. On the PHP side they told me that it looks like ancient code because it’s compatible with PHP 5.2 and told me I must break compatibility.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35897369 (2023)

Then I was told that PHP is a stupid language to build a platform in and I should use Go or Rust if anyone would take it seriously.

Every step of the way, I was citing massively adopted projects like Wordpress, Joomla, Drupal, the number of servers running PHP and my vision for everyone to “just run it” https://qbix.com/ecosystem

But the signal to noise ratio was very high. Some people here on HN started telling me that they didnt want to read that page because they found mentioned a token. But the token is optional and there only for settling micropayments and hosting companies to make money from customers globally. It is solving the payments problem on the web and getting rid of the stupid paywalls. It is solving the problem of monetizing digital content like open source software, journalism etc. Which have corrupted journalism.

In short, it’s been a lonely experience. Many times people are married to the latest fads or taboos and unwilling to even read what you wrote (unless you remove all mention of a token and add the latest framework du jour).

Here it is, if you want it, it’s free and open source btw:

My distro path was Ubuntu -> Solus -> Fedora. Never looked back. There's nothing stable in the world of linux distros, but Fedora makes this a lot less painful. Most of the time I just don't have any issues with it. Even my MacBook Pro 2015 runs it almost flawlessly. Love it.
Yes, Xiaomi's layer on top of Android (Wouldn't call it a fork though, that has different implications)

As far as I can tell YouTube itself tends to be pretty similar, but features come first for Android, I think PiP for shorts is out of beta in Android, but as you mentioned just getting tested on iOS
Year over year gains in computing continue to slow. I think we keep forgetting that when talking about these things as assets. The thing controlling their value is the supply which is tightly controlled like diamonds.
You don't get to just pretend these things aren't created and funded by congress, and that their operation hasn't been solidified and formed over decades and decades through interaction with the judicial branch as well.

The executive branch has an obligation to execute the laws - they don't get to arbitrarily pick and choose how to do that without constraint. Period.

If these were somehow created by executive action, it would be a completely different conversation. Pretending otherwise is disingenuous in the extreme.
Broken upgrades were one of the biggest reasons I stopped using Ubuntu as well. Granted this was around 10 years ago, but this post suggests things have not improved in that regard.
Except that the people making these decisions are politicians. So while Econ 101 applies, so does Politics 101: don't anger voters. It's not uncommon for those two to be in conflict.
The way you write it makes it seems like you're blaming the tool for misleading results when that's the nature of traceroute itself.

MPLS don't have to hide routers though, up to the operator, even if they do it will give you idea of where things went wrong and you can contact the correct people. Load balancing links is either lacp or ecmp, first case doesn't really matter and in the second you'll just see multiple responses on a hop. Neither really had any impact on how useful traceroute is and doesn't really mislead.
What I think is a better way to say this is that you need a `design` phase before actually writing the first `real` implementation code.

Something I do a lot, and even more with the LLMS, is that I make `scratch` projects where I sketch code over and over (and maybe make mockups in Keynote or similar, make some notes, etc), then write from scratch again in the real codebase.
The main computer does not make choices stochastically and always understands what people ask it. I do not think that resembles the current crop of LLMs. On voyager the ships computer is some kind of biological computing entity that they eventually give up on as a story topic but there is an episode where the bio computing gel packs get sick.

I believe data and the doctor both would be people to me. But is minuet? The woman created by the binars to distract riker so they could steal the ship? Star Trek goes back and forth as to who counts as a person or not. This is one of the points that is made in the episode where the doctor learns his hologram is cloned many times to work as miners on an asteroid and he says this is slavery. Does minuet get to say she doesn’t want to seduce riker if she doesn’t feel like it? Or is she a program that does whatever the programmer wants?

But moreover linking back to the original technology, does eqtransformer have awareness? Do we treat it as a thinking being that we enslaved to find earthquakes in data because it uses the same technology as ChatGPT? I don’t think anyone thinks we should do this but it seems like that is where people want to take it. That’s strange to me. At what point does data pipelines doing some kind of stochastic transformation and summarization of training data become an individual that presents a desire for autonomy like data or the doctor?

I think there’s lots of questions here to answer and I don’t know the answers to them.

You don't need more.

I wish everyone used mk instead of bloated software.

Unix grew up too much.
That's not important - you're not discussing how to do their job, but what your own view is of your part of the work and those around you. The leader can then synthesize all these views and see if there are any surprises.

(another case similar to "you should listen to a customer when they say there's something wrong with the design of your product, but you should absolutely not pay attention to what they think the solution should be")
This was the one that resonated the most with me. As soon as I start to think "Why don't they just . . . ." I know I'm in for an epiphany.
Writing code isn’t the bottleneck though. What LLMs do is knock out the floor because you used to need a pretty significant baseline knowledge of a programming language to do anything. Now you don’t need that because you can just spray and pray prompts with no programming knowledge. This actually works to a point since most business code is actually repetitive CRUD. The problem comes with the fact that implicit expectations that the higher level system run with a certain uptime, level of quality, and conform to any number of common sense assumptions that no one but a good programmer was thinking about until someone uses the system and says “why does it do this completely wrong thing”. There are huge classes of these types of problems that an LLM will not be capable of resolving, and if you’ve been blasting ahead with mountains of LLM slop code even the best human programmers might not be able to save you. In other words I think LLMs will make it easy to paint yourself into a corner if you gut the technical core of your team.

I'd bet my money that if we took a Windows 10 and a macOS High Sierra laptop, the Windows one would run supported versions of apps much longer than the macOS one, even if one upgraded to the latest supported macOS on that machine while staying on Windows 10 as the time went on.

MacOS apps target the latest few versions and given macOS' rapid release cycle (in comparison to Windows, at least), you can easily find yourself with a machine <10 years old that can't run the latest versions of apps you're using.
I think it's about habit more than anything. People are used to Windows' sharp edges and have developed workarounds (just reboot it).

But no, the experience is nowhere near "polished", and troubleshooting is a joke. "Something unexpected happened" or "contact your administrator" isn't exactly helpful. Sure, there may be some log somewhere in that godawful event viewer, but who has the patience to wait for that abomination to load? And then to go spelunking in the millions of categories?

Windows is hands-down the most annoying and janky computing experience among all my devices. I put up with it because I like Photoshop, and since I have PCs lying around can't justify buying a MacBook (plus Linux works well enough for all my other needs).

HiDPI support is a joke, with windows showing up wherever they want, the start menu becoming blurry, taskbar menus appearing at random locations on the screen. The windows jump up and down when switching virtual desktops. Windows appear as active, complete with a blinking cursor and everything, yet won't register text input until I click on them. I could go on for days.
This is a fascinating read, but the thing that bugs me about this whole affair is that when this came to light many years ago it was treated as a cheating and recruitment scandal. But only recently has it been reframed as a DEI issue.

Taking old, resolved scandals - slapping a coat of culture war paint on it - and then selling it as a new scandal is already a popular MO for state-sponsored propoganda, so we should be extra wary of stories like this being massaged.
This is a wild take.

People and companies get hacked all the time because people use scare quotes around security and wire up their windows 7 computers to the internet.

Ubuntu upgrades, even LTS server, are often problematic. I've had several issues over the years: network interfaces renamed, default route lost, 5 minute delays in boot due to various systemd job timeouts (which weren't a problem in previous releases), etc. All this stuff was "fixable" but it certainly wasn't smooth and all required console access to resolve.
At the risk of repeating another comment, the problem is that DEI proponents don't care about socio-economic status or family struggles, they care about race and whether or not you're from a "historically marginalized community" for certain specific definitions of "marginalized" and "historically."

If the rich kid was black and the poor kid was white, proponents of DEI would point to the poor kid getting hired as clear-cut evidence of systemic racism against the black kid.
My typical experience with Linux on the desktop. Install it, get frustrated with lack of compatible games, then something blows up after a week so it won't boot, back to windows.

I enjoy my Mac so much more when I want to to development. Linux just kinda faceplants itself every time i even attempt to use it for anything else than a server.
Just in the same boat as you but I wanted to play VR, you know? So had to go to 10 just because Valve doesn't support lower windows versions.

So if you don't upgrade you better be happy with what you have for the rest of your life haha.
And in particular CORS is the region you can read the wikkpedia api cross origin (unless you are doing jsonp, but hopefully they are using CORS because it is better in every way)
I've been using Fedora for 9 years and I'm very happy with it.
I left Ubuntu back in 2019 when I bought a new laptop. The kernel on the latest LTS version was so ancient that there was no way of running my laptop on it.

Ubuntu's biggest problem is that you have to live with problems that were fixed years ago.
That's hardly the language's fault
> The real question I have is why he chose Rust in the first place.

If you read the linked post carefully you will know.

> Compile times aside, the strengths and weaknesses of Rust and Zig today are much different than they were when I wrote the first line of code in Roc's Rust compiler in 2019. Back then, Rust was relatively mature and Zig was far from where it is today.
For me personally it depends on what's the most convenient at the moment.

I've played around with Debian for several years using it for small little servers. They do not need to have a monitor connected, so i never use a gui.

When using my Steam Deck i don't have a keyboard and the virtual keyboard is kinda annoying, so i use the gui.

I can't seem to get used to work with a Debian installed laptop. I've tried many times, but i don't see a daily beneficial goal to use Linux, mostly because i'll always get Windows 10/11 working :)
"mother" has no need for a 5 button programmable mouse, nor does she have a need for applications beyond the web browser. No troubleshooting required.
This is kinda becoming a thing with VC based startups. But beyond that, where does the money come from?
> Everyone around me has an iPhone

You may be in a bubble.

Huawei and other Chinese phones are not banned in the EU. So you can get your hands on 100€ to 200€ smartphones which are more than enough for most people. Hence a lot less iPhones (but a ton more spywares).
Why doesn't LFS count? It handles locking just as well as p4, too.

A good git gui works as well as p4v (and usually far less buggy).

The major difference in my eyes is that p4 can enforce more settings from the server. It's easier to get artists set up in p4 than git.

> There's a reason that like 105% of AAA game dev uses Perforce.

Irony of ironies, Unreal is distributed with git but largely uses p4.

P4 is dominant but I feel like a lot of that is momentum. Making a Unity game with git is pretty easy. Some Unreal tooling is built around p4 only but not really for any technical reasons.
Italy had a joke of tanks in the last decade(s), that weren't clearly on par with the other European alternatives and the defense budget went to other places, namely navy and air force. Since some of the Italian tanks are being dismissed, there was the need for a new tank, but not having invested much in tanks had the effect of not having cutting edge technology to develop an alternative. So the decision was taken to produce tanks from rheinmetall (Leonardo was available to another German producer, but they didn't want to transfer technology and produce in italy).

Not having tanks is a big no no due to latest events, I do not see the grudge you hold against them when it's clear they wouldn't be used in the same flat scenario of Ukraine or Poland. Given that Italy is highly mountainous, it made sense to prioritize air force and navy first. I think they're also compatible for anti drone guns

Piaggio air space was acquired a few weeks ago by baykar, hopefully it will produce drones.

I do not get why you're saying that a change in the approach of war makes tank not useful anymore, when it's clear they will eventually be adapted to counter drones and similar threats
I use Ubuntu as my main steam gaming install because it was recommended by Valve. Does anyone know if it's similarly decent on Fedora? I just want a few games, steam, discord, and a browser.
Because it's not about just power and money. People need to stop cynically thinking that all the social stuff is just noise so they can get power and money. They actually intend to upend the social order to establish a white, evangelical Christian state with utter disregard for the Constitution.
People, whom I knew since these times and who really like getting stuff done and have done it much, all facepalmed when seen things like git, webdev, etc. Getting stuff done is not performing hundreds of technical operations and thinking “good, I’m so skilled”. It’s actually getting it done. I can almost guarantee that it’s a guy with far better predictor skills who will deliver mvp a month later than everyone else. Been through this countless times.

No one's too rich to get shot by the world's largest superpower.

Zuckerberg didn't do a giant public 180 for funsies.
I like it, gives you the option for older versions as well. When I updated my old browser and the look and feel completely changed, I had to go back years but I eventually found what I liked.

Please tell Microsoft.
- Windows 11 has provided a hardware security baseline for Microsoft, with features that require hardware support (HVCI, TPM etc) to be enabled by default going forward, stating that Windows 10 strategy of off-by-default was a failure.

- Admin accounts are a continued security problem within the Windows ecosystem, so a future version of Windows will be adding a new "Adminless" account model with linux-like just-in-time escalation. This new model intends to provide a secure middle-ground between the frustrations of a standard user account and the security risks of an Admin account. "Adminless" accounts will run as a "less privileged" user by default and prompt users with Windows Hello when an application requires escalation for a given operation, rather than permanently running the account as a standard or admin user.

- Win32 Applications will be bundled under the new Win32 App Isolation model, which provides the security benefits of UWP sandboxing & clean uninstalls without the API limitations of UWP. Developers will be able to specify what privileges an application requires, much like other application platforms. A demo was shown of Notepad++ running under this sandbox model with minimal modification.

-TPMs within the ecosystem are not in a healthy state, with telemetry telling Microsoft that many are running vulnerable firmware due to manufactures not pushing out updates, and some being inoperable due to hardware failures or other issues. Microsoft is working on its Pluton security chip to replace/augment the existing TPM ecosystem and have the ability to push out firmware updates via Windows Update.

- Software/Hardware mitigations are reaching the end of the road in terms of viability. Microsoft is now focused on eliminating classes of security bugs with extensive R&D going into the use of Memory-safe languages (Rust) in areas of the system that exploits often appear in.

Exactly. Automatically adding getters and (especially) setters to a class is something I see far too often.
Exactly, fascists are neither left or right : they only care about the Party (and in practice, certain people in it) being in power, not the disenfranchised workers, small bourgeois, or industrialists (much less free markets) they made promises to, and will accordingly pander to or drop them only as much as it serves them.
See here for one of the surveys I mentioned:

https://arxiv.org/abs/1612.00676

To "What is the message of the observed violations of Bell's inequality?", a whopping 37% believed that it ruled out hidden variables entirely, even though Bohmian mechanics has been a thing since the the 1950s. 21% said Bohmian mechanics was explicitly incompatible with Bell's theorem in answering the question "What are your reasons for NOT favoring De Broglie - Bohm theory?", which is clear nonsense.

There's still a lot of confusion about quantum foundations, even among physicists. The fight over superdeterminism has only just begun, even though de Broglie's "double solution" to QM has been around for almost a century as the first superdeterministic theory. And this is ironic given GR is a theory of deterministic evolution of objects over a 4D manifold, eg. the future is already written, but taking this same approach to QM is heresy, even though this would provide some conceptual unity that might bear fruits towards unification.
Software engineers who work for the federal government are being told (not asked) to follow a lawful executive order from a democratically elected President.

It would be nice if „security“ were a made up reason but unfortunately it’s not.
Good chance a lot of the "laws" that prevent the executive from taking actions are probably unconstitutional anyways. The constitution is pretty clear on this and the current executive is within its boundaries, even if various congresses made illegal laws to prevent these types of actions after FDR used them.
