FWIW I think we need both? Agree that the latter is severely lacking in the US.

And maybe in some distant future post-scarcity society we would not have a need for a savings scheme.
> Sure that's great, not particularly helpful to the masses who misunderstand the tool. I worked as a network engineer for a decade receiving bunk MTR reports where people freak out because they're seeing "packet loss" which was inexistent on the data forwarding plane (you know the one that actually matters).

Understanding can be improved. Bunk MTRs are easy to spot. You tell them this is not an issue because .... . Than they will learn and usually that customer will stop sending you bunk MTRs.

I'm pretty sure that the people that are opening tickets with providers/network teams because they have nothing better to do is nearing 0. The fact that they ran an MTR shows that they were doing some troubleshooting and at the end of the day a problem needs to be solved. It may not be on your end but that needs to be investigated but the same would apply for a crappy iperf throughput test. IMHO Any clue/information into where that problem is, is helpful. You may need to filter relevant from irrelevant.

But if I get to pick one out of 2 problems, one has a crappy iperf results, the other has an MTR that has a loss that carries over, I would probably pick the second because that at least gives me indication on whereabouts should I start looking.

> Time shouldn't be wasted measuring the control path and then investigating to confirm it is the control path and not data path. You cannot make these mistakes using traceroute and ping separately because traceroute doesn't have a notion of a "per-hop" loss indicator.

traceroute does have per-hop indicator, it's the * in the output, it's just so often off that nobody pays much attention. You can't really catch issues that are related to route-flaps or reroutes with traceroute. with MTRs it becomes pretty clear if a reroute happens in the middle of your test. I guess you can keep running traceroute but I will leave it to you to sift through the output of that nightmare and than it effectively became MTR, with worse output.

There are also many options available in MTR that is not there in traceroute (to trigger these packets by tcp or udp packets), fix local or remote port etc. Even if you just run it with 3 packets per hop, you will have way more options. You don't have to use it as a continuous monitor to indicate packetloss but can give you the traceroute level information in a much cleaner format and you have more options to choose from.

> ping doesn't involve intermediate hops (unless an intermediate hop generates an ICMP diagnostic for an echo request).

ICMP echo requests and replys can be subject to different QoS treatment as TCP/UDP traffic, so that also doesn't necessarily gives you the right idea when testing for end to end connectivity issue.
Iperf imho is the best bet, and if you want to be really accurate you pick the src/dst port for client/server just to be sure you get into the same Class as your problematic traffic.

As a sidenote MTR packets are also ride the data-plane until they reach the TTL=1.
I haven't seen that one yet; I was mostly offline yesterday. This happens sometimes.

Btw, stories about "powerful tech people look like idiots" get discussed on HN all the time. The tenor of HN comments about that kind of thing leans strongly towards the cynical, enough that it's actually a problem for the long-term quality of the site. I may be misinterpreting you, but if you feel like HN needs more of that, I have to disagree.

Edit: $Firm hires $PolarizingPerson is probably not a good topic for HN but I'm happy to take a look at specific articles.

Which part of the above comment are you attributing this to?

Seems like a strawman.
Have they even done the training that says "watch out for women trying to get into your pants"? Or did they just show up?
Immix is not a slow variant of a copying GC. It's pretty state of the art for copying GCs in fact, do claiming he doesn't know anything and hasn't implemented a "proper" GC is just incorrect.
Thank you for that explanation, Comrade.

In all seriousness, if those are the only choices then it's not people freely organizing. And this forced "free" organization is NOT the only way to solve these problems, and in fact it isn't really a solution to these problems at all.
And then they killed the nuke plants for coal because they're scared little babies.
Intel specifically sought Israeli startups, so I'm a little confused about how this is framed. It's also hard to understand how Intel buying your startup for 2 Billion is ruining it, as most people on this site would see that as a huge win. I detect bias around this topic.
Seems completely right. We should let the unelected technocrat and wealthiest human award himself every tax dollar. What even is government for, if not redistribution of wealth to the already wealthy?
Most of us had a spine, and stopped misbehaving before anything serious was done.

It's not violating HN's "intellectual curiosity" rule as many people are genuinely curious about this.
That isn't what I said, but likely it won't matter. People will be denying it up until the end. I don't prefer LLMs to humans, but I don't pretend biological minds contain some magical essence that separates us from silicon. The denials of what might be happening are pretty weak - at best they're way over confident and smug.
I'm not really asking about its function, more its location. I figured stuff like that belonged in /lib/ utility code so it could be reused consistently across the codebase.

Basically I'm not a great programmer so when I see stuff that I am unsure of, I ask so I can learn.
Maybe it's because of the way the search integration is set up? All the search results are put in the context window and the model is just told to summarize it, so that's what it dutifully does, without considering whether or not the statements are plausible. Even without one of the reasoning models, if the prompt were adjusted to tell it that some of the statements may be incorrect and that information should be evaluated for plausibility first, then the result would probably be better.

I asked 4o and Sonnet to "Evaluate the plausibility of this statement: Gouda is the most popular Dutch cheese in the world, accounting for 50 to 60% of the world's cheese consumption".

4o correctly said

>While Gouda is an iconic and highly popular Dutch cheese, the claim that it accounts for 50–60% of the world's cheese consumption is implausible and likely a misrepresentation of its market share. Global cheese consumption is far too diverse for any single variety, including Gouda, to dominate to such an extent."

>Sonnet says "A more accurate statement would be that Gouda is one of the world's most popular cheeses and represents a significant portion of Dutch cheese production and exports. It's estimated that Gouda accounts for over 60% of Dutch cheese production, which might be where the confusion stems from."

Both correctly pointed out mozzarella, cheddar, and paremesan as the actual likely candidates for most popular cheese. So the models are clearly quite capable of this, any bad result is likely just prompting error, e.g. blindly asking for a summary.
Agreed, but part of the reason I think people are not aware of what’s going on is that we’re not calling things for what they are, in a weird and self-imposed Orwellian way. Like calling a rocket that blows up “unexpected rapid disassembly” or some other BS. The rocket blew up, the cars blow up, it’s a coup, they’re nazi sympathizers, etc…
Time symmetry applies to the physical laws governing the universe, not the distribution of mass in it.

For a simpler example look at Newton's 3 laws. They have time symmetry but still allow for things to move around!
That's why they dumped it all into an LLM online?
A very one-sided article. Blames everything on Intel without even considering that maybe Habana Labs was just better at getting the founders rich from the acquisition then at making AI processors. And maybe Intel management noticed that all wasn't going as planned and tried to intervene, which may have made things worse.

Sure, Intel have quite a history of failures, especially for the last decade or so. But I would like to think that even Intel can be smart enough not to mess with things that work, so maybe things didn't work and Intel management (unsuccessfully) tried to save it. It is actually a very common scenario: branch doesn't perform as well as expected, upper management tries to do something, it doesn't work, people blame management but don't mention that without intervention it would have also failed. Of course management is to blame, but it is not just because of them.

Another point of view would be interesting.

Right. But the highway system was something that greatly benefited the States themselves as it provided them with new roads stimulating their local economy and creating a great number of jobs (to build the roads). But the States weren't forced to do so, and it took 35 years (I didn't know that until I looked it up[0]). Heat pumps benefit consumers, and climate change, but there's probably less incentive for States to push the program, especially if they don't really care about climate change anyway.

I don’t remember anything that heinous. But I do remember telling off-colour jokes. If I’d done that in public and received validation from someone I respected and admired, is it implausible I’d have gone down the rabbit hole?

I think you meant: "The user friendliness of Linux combined with the stability of Linux."

You know, like when you're not forced to link your system to a Microsoft account. Or when you cannot reboot because a 30 minute update is pushed down your throat. Or when you cannot start working because an other 30 minute update is pushed down your throat at startup. Or when you have a 2 minute warning before a forced 1h update is pushed down your.. ..you get the picture. And the long, long list goes on.
Cultural fit to me is a completely inadequate term to describe what I'm thinking about in an interview.

Are they going to be an arsehole? This is my biggest worry after dealing with a couple, first as people above me then as members of my first team as a combined team lead/line manager. This is about being able to be reasoned with and not destroying team morale. I have always tended to feel that being right is more important than harmony but over time I realised how many of my "right" decisions were balanced by wrong ones and however many times I thought I saved the team with some good idea, someone else did it just as much with another one.

In other words I'm on the very edge, at best, of being the arsehole myself. Someone who is further over the line than me definitely makes it miserable to go to work. I want my team to get on reasonably and each get a feeling of fullfillment out of the day and feel respected which requires good behaviour from me but also from them. I perhaps wouldn't want to say this to my own boss (who is ok) but I really care about this more than about the company itself.

Companies have no loyalty and will make you redundant at the drop of a hat. They also sometimes do silly things which doom them and prevent you from being able to save the situation. You get given impossible things to do and stress out trying to do them. While this is happening, however, we can have a reasonable week without undue drama, fights, humiliation or fear. There's no reason that good software can't be the end result but more importantly you'll have an experienced team at the end who get better and better at working together and are potentially going to stay on.
Nuke had no future in Germany. The plants haven't had security maintenance in many years because it all was relaxed due to the pending shutdown, the plants were many decades old, we don't have a place to store spent fuel (unlike Americans who have ample desert space where no one is ever gonna be bothered), new fuel comes to a shocking amount from Russia, constructing new plants takes >>10 years and many billions of euros.
A real test here would be to give it to my friend from Mendoza, Argentina.

They could just hack their devices remotely, or physically break into his residence. I suspect a serial leaker will lack neither the discipline to not copy data onto personal devices, nor the opsec to withstand a motivated nation-state, since a lot of the work seems rushed, and is off playbook.
Fair point. But couldn't have Intel maintained nVidia as a separate subsidiary? Or is that run counter to their style?
Let's look it up together. Musk has approximately doubled X's profits from 0.68B to 1.25B.

[0] article quote:

"During the last full year prior to Musk’s takeover, Twitter reported adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) of about $682 million and about $5 billion in revenue.

In 2024, X had an EBITDA of about $1.25 billion and annual revenue of $2.7 billion.

While X’s revenue is about half of what it used to be, the company’s costs are just about a quarter of what they were before.

As per the WSJ, investors noted that these were better figures than they had anticipated."

Even this [1] hilariously biased article is forced to admit in the middle that yes, X's profits have gone up since Musk took over.

"Now X also, of course, has reduced its overheads significantly, by culling around 80% of staff, so X’s profit margins are now much better as a result."

Another problem with signing JSON: you can have two different json objects that mean the same thing, and will do exactly the same thing in your code e.g. {"a": "foo", "b": "bar"} vs {"b": "bar", "a": "foo"}. Also, whitespace. Are there any standards for normalising json, so that two equivalent, but differently written JSON files will have the same signature?

It's not a lie. "I don’t think stupid social media activity should ruin a kid’s life" does two things: characterizes endorsements of racism and eugenics policies as "stupid social media activity", and asserts that exposure of such activity should not lead to someone losing their job. The part about not rewarding journalists who "destroy" people does not exist in a vacuum away from his downplaying of Elez's abhorrent racial views. If journalists had revealed Elez, for example, was a secret left-wing antifa supporter on Bluesky, I think we can reasonably doubt Vance's reaction would have been the same.

Edit: Now that you've brought Vance's tweet into focus, it's also interesting that he does not think Elez is currently a "bad dude" when he's expressly stated a desire to normalize hatred against an entire ethnicity
True, but if someone is smart enough to figure that out over just putting in code that doesn't work, they're at least trainable.

Most jobs are starting to push AI coding anyway. Your expected to use Chat GPT/copilot, but your ultimately responsible for understanding how that code works.

As long as they aren't literally stupid enough to try to open up another tab and just paste the code in, I would still look at someone typing in a solution they memorized/ got from an LLM as promising.

I don't really see a difference between a person who has the ability to read through cracking the coding interview, and memorize every solution, to regurgitate them, versus using an LLM.

And even if someone can pass your code exam that doesn't mean you have to interview them, I actually feel a bit weird because I had a code test recently, which I was able to pass. But since it was a very brute force solution, and I wasn't able to optimize it I guess they decided to not interview me.
IIRC, Nvidia was already ahead in software support 5 years ago. Image recognition was the big thing and the only way I could train them was on Nvidia GPU or Google tpu.

With this context, the articles clain that

>Intel correctly identified AI as the future

seems tenuous at best.

It also claims that Nvidia was just a graphics company in 2019-20. This was clearly not the case for anyone training cv models at the time.

IDK what Gaudi is or what Habana Labs was developing. Does anyone know what the status of pytorch/tensorflow on Intel GPU hardware is? Because add far as research is concerned one of the framework has to be supported.

I've had cursor suggest changes for debugging (like prints), you do have to copy paste the results though.

I've also had cursor generate a CURL request to test an endpoint and determine what responses it had so it could generate a struct to store the result.

So I'd say they are getting there.
That’s a fake urban legend: <https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=CE_marking&oldid=...>

Yes, some products have been found with incorrect dimensions on their CE markings. Yes, some products have been found with non-compliant specifications. But AFAIK no products, having been accused of non-compliant specifications in spite of CE markings, have ever defended themselves with the excuse that the mark is not a true CE mark but instead some mythical “China Export” mark. It has never happened. It’s an urban myth.

But when you ask the same people:
- Do you want to be screwed over by companies so that they can make more profit?
- Should companies be allowed to mix everything in your food for more profit?
- Plants also need water, would it be OK to flood them?

They would answer NO to all of the above.
