> Myself, I think tests and debugging go together like peanut butter and jelly. That is, you use tests to set up a situation you want to debug

The hardest things are the ones that come up in prod/after it is already deployed and there's no obvious error message or indication something is wrong.

E.g. rn, I'm building a SWE agent (https://ra-aid.ai), and running it against SWE-bench lite. The processes will run for 5+ hours and then randomly hang.

So for stuff like this, I rely heavily on:

1) Verbose logging
2) Tools that let you inspect/debug running processes, e.g. py-spy.

While it is true the president has broad authority, it's not true he can run his departments as he sees fit. His job is to faithfully (operative word) execute the office of president which includes defending the Constitution itself, most of which is about establishing a separation of powers that allows for checks and balances across the branches of government.

The Constitution very purposefully gives most power to the people through Congress. Article I of the Constitution goes through the pains of enumerating all the powers Congress has and doesn't. Article II is 1/4 the length and is mostly about how the President is elected. But it describes a much more limited set of power granted to the President.

What you're doing is reading vast powers to dictate the workings of the executive branch from the "Executive Power Clause", but completely failing to account for the "Take Care Clause" --

"he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed, and shall Commission all the Officers of the United States."

and the presidential oath of office --

"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

That's his job. Not to exercise broad authority over the executive branch as he sees fit. His job is to exercise broad authority over the executive branch as Congress sees fit.

And can't you see why this has to be the case? Because if we go down this path, there's nothing stopping the next executive from completely wiping out all programs he doesn't like, and what's to say you agree with the next guy as much as you agree with this one? What's to say he doesn't go after the programs keeping you alive, or housed, or fed because actually he doesn't like the color of your skin, or your religion, or the hand you use to write with? Or maybe he just doesn't like you personally, because you doing your job faithfully is in the way of his unfaithful objectives?

> He has shown that the Social security database is de-duplicated and there are thousands of individuals above the age of 150. Hundreds of treasury employees have access to the same database he has, and most of the data analysis can be done open source via FPDS-NG.

Then there should be no issue bringing all of that to Congress and going through the proper channels. In fact there is a bipartisan Congressional DOGE committee that was purportedly for exactly this, but Musk has been keeping them in the dark and cutting them out entirely. Why?

We can see why they don't want to work with Congress; their goal is to shutter lawful, Congressionally authorized agencies they don't agree with politically, yet don't have the legal power to end. They've said as much about the CFPB, but they have no legal authority under the Constitution to close it. The CFPB is a net economic benefit to consumers and saves the US money, there's no logical reason to go after it as one of the first targets if you're looking to balance the budget.

>Most other scenarios don't use millions/billions of works - that's the part which puts viability in question.

Yes, they do. We have acquisitions in the billions these days and exclusivity deals in the hundreds of millions. Let's not pretend these companies can't do this through normal channels. They just wanna steal because they think they can get away from it.

>I'd like training models to also remain accessible to open-source developers, academic researchers, and smaller businesses.

Same. But such models still need to be ethically sourced. Maybe there's not enough royalty free content to compete with OpenAI, but it's pretty clear from Deepseek that you don't need 82 TB of data to be effective. If we need that much data, there are clearly optimizations to be made.

>I think that self-interest has put them in a position of supporting fair use and copyright safe harbors,

Yet they will sue anytime their data is scraped or otherwise not making the money. Maybe they didn't put trillions into lobbying like others, but they definitely have their fair share od using copyright. Microsoft won a lawsuit against web scraping via LinkedIn less than a year before OpenAI fell into legal troubles over scraping the entire internet.

I've lived in places where I wouldn't be able to park if I drove home late at night. In that case, I wouldn't drive to events where I would arrive home late at night. And since public transportation tends to be poor late at night, that would mean either I'd carpool or not go.

I know people this paralyzed. The concerns they have are usually more "How will I pay rent next month" and "how do I not get such bad bed sores"

How much do you think Neuralink is going to cost? How will people who can't get around on their own pay that? How are people who can't work going to pay that?

I don't know why supporters of all these things are so unable to view the whole situation. Musk doesn't want to pay taxes to a government that will support these disabled people. Musk doesn't want to support these disabled people. They are literally pawns for PR to him.

Musk doesn't want to advance the HUMAN RACE. Musk wants to advance CERTAIN PEOPLE.

One problem with it is it requires a constant network connection for everything, which is baffling for software designed for devices where major intended uses involve being in situations with poor or no network connection.
It is predictable that this was a big driver. It is still sobering to see how big of a driver it is. Holy cow.

Steam downloads can easily max 1Gbps for me.
There seem to be some integration issues in 5G Non-Standalone equipment and existing network. Standalone or not, 5G outside of millimeter wavelength bands("mmWave") should behave like an all-around pure upgrade compared to 4G with no downsides, in theory.
What fun to be the village poison tester because you’ve got the most sensitive stomach.
I don't think that's the nature of the argument that I was responding to.
We live in a rural location, so we have redundant 5G/Starlink.

It's getting pretty reasonable these days, with download speeds reaching 0.5 gbit/sec per link, and latency is acceptable at ~20ms.

The main challenge is the upload speed; pretty much all the ISPs allocate much more spectrum for download rather than upload. If we could improve one thing with future wireless tech, I think upload would be a great candidate.
It feels like mere language difference. Certainly every government official is advised by many Excel spreadsheets. Were those spreadsheets "appointed", no.

I've never paid that much attention to retro hardware - I still have a lot of the originals in my parents' garage.

I just moved, which gave me an opportunity to give all the old Rock Band instruments that were too loud for my last apartment a fresh try. It's disappointing how bad RCA-era systems like the Wii looks on a 4K OLED. The upscaling is blurry as shit.

I've been trying to get all my songs imported into YARG (an open source Rock Band clone), but if I can't get that working, maybe I should get a scanline generator. (It applies a filter to the video to replicate the look of a CRT.)

The JVM is a reliable stack. I used it at work on most projects.
LTE total latency is 20-50 ms, and you compare this to the marketing "air link only" 5G latency of 1 ms. It's apple and oranges ;)

FYI, the air link latency for LTE was given as 4-5 ms. FDD as it's the best here. The 5G improvement to 1ms would require features (URLLC) that nobody implemented and nobody will: too expensive for too niche markets.

The latency in a cellular network is mostly from the core network, not the radio link anymore. Event in 4G.

But as I tried to highlight, the more valuable the YouTube account, the more likely they actually have an account manager at Google. Additionally, they probably have staff, and it's not actually the "star" that you would be emailing... Once you gain access to their YouTube account, what could you actually do to harm them? Upload a video that encourages somebody to go to a website and do a thing? It would probably get reported fairly quickly.. and it probably wouldn't look like a normal video for that channel, so it might stand out... It's just a very weird attack vector that is more easily achieved without spending lots of money to unmask email addresses. The fake Elon Musk profiles/accounts pushing watches or telling people to buy crypto are infinitely cheaper and probably more effective.. you could just make an account that pretends to be the person you're trying to scam and make comments on their videos
I didn't say it was a bug for exactly that reason, but as the comment explains this doesn't affect any platform or compiler combination except ppc64 LLVM, or even most usages of sqrt for that target.

LLVM has lots of small reproducibility issues like this that GCC doesn't, but also much better documentation around its limitations. The point of this library is to eliminate as many of those as possible without performance costs.

There is no “disruption”. In either the common vernacular or especially not in the “innovator’s Dilemna” definition. EVs still make a small percent of the market in the US and the rest of the industry in the US are backing away from their EV investments.

You don’t see in the auto industry the type of “disruption” you saw from Apple and the iPhone where everyone jumped on the bandwagon, abandoned their old phones and most of the previous smart phone makers went out of business. While Apple’s market share worldwide isn’t that great, they take most of the profits. Tesla is doing neither.

Surely, you've heard of the Supaboy.

"The downside is that for the past couple of decades computers haven't gotten much faster, except in ways that require recoding (like GPUs and multicore)."

This is false? Computers have gotten a lot faster, even if the clock speed is not that much faster. A single modern CPU core turboing at ~5Ghz is going to be significantly faster than a 20 year old cpu overclocked to ~4.5Ghz.

Hungry-API: Checkout for AI Agents
Hey HN,
We’re building Hungry-API, a checkout system optimized for AI agents. AI models like Operator can browse the web, but actually completing a transaction is another story. Websites aren’t designed for AI, and even something as simple as ordering a pizza online becomes a fragile, slow, and error-prone process.

Our demo shows this clearly:

* Operator on its own struggles to order from dominos.com—it’s slow, needs multiple retries, and breaks if the UI changes.

* Operator using HungryAPI on app.tryhungryapi.com completes the same order 10x faster and more reliably.

We solve this by acting as a Plaid for AI—-just as Plaid streamlined bad bank UIs for financial apps, we bridge messy web checkouts for AI agents. We still scrape websites when needed, but instead of brute-force automation, we provide a structured, AI-first way to complete purchases.

Would love to hear your thoughts! You can check us out at tryhungryapi.com.

I imagine there's a huge difference, legally, with black-box reverse engineering and then creating a very similar design on an FPGA (what I did here), and actually fully decapping the chip and cloning the gates.

Plus FPGAs add a lot of flexibility (e.g. multiple systems, enhancements), and they're really not that expensive. Especially in relatively low volumes compared to an ASIC.
I can pretty much guarantee you that your 5G connection has more bandwidth for upload than my residential ISP does
People seem to think nothing of putting all other syntax on a new line (+, -, ||, &&, AND, OR are all fine) but as soon as you put a comma on a new line everyone loses their minds.
Yes, as applied to the current generation of AIs, "safety" and "alignment" refer to things like preventing the product from making jokes about women or ethnic minorities, but that is because the current generation is not powerful enough to threaten human safety and human survival. The OP in contrast is about what will happen if the labs succeed in their stated goal of creating AIs that are much more powerful.
> At this point I feel like a rising stock price after a crisis should be a major red flag for long term corporate survival.

It depends. If you see a lot of insider buying after a bottom it can be a good sign that there's strong internal faith in the companies future. I've used it as a buy signal myself before when a market cap is high enough. It has paid off.

Possibly. What's more likely is that folks would want to ask why major corporations are willing to invest the dollars to commit to Rust and it's take on memory safety, at scale.

Well, today I learned something. I've gotten my phone stuck in this mode (half of the screen hidden below the bottom edge) and just assumed it was an iOS bug.
When you are the dominant world power, you just don't let others determine your strategy, as simple as that.

Attempts at curbing AI will come from those who are losing the race. There's this interview where Edward Teller recalls how the USSR used a moratorium in nuclear testing to catch up with the US on the hydrogen bomb, and how he was the one telling the idealist scientists that that was going to happen.
The memo specifically calls for initiating "large-scale reductions in force", focusing on those positions that are specifically covered by "statute or other law". That's not calling on government agencies to get better about cutting deadwood. It's calling for the wholesale elimination of positions that someone is filling right now, regardless of what that position does.

The people who may be losing their jobs may be losing them not because they're bad at them. Someone did want to hire them. That's why they have a job now. A job that may be going away for ideological reasons, and not good policy or sound choices.

These actions are not based on data that shows why this is most likely to achieve broadly supported goals based on the ideals of the United States. There is nothing to show how many people will be affected, what the likely impact on the private sector will be, and how that impact will be of overall benefit to society. It's a reactionary lashing out based this vague notion that "government is too big".

No one owes you a job because you exist, but I believe it's only fair that if you have a job, it's not taken away without cause. Otherwise you have no basis on which to make any long-term plans -- part of that whole "life, liberty and pursuit of happiness" thing. Looking out for other people doesn't mean we live in a communist society, it means we live in a society that values making life better for more than just those at the top of the income ladder.

By the way, the people calling to eliminate jobs, and perhaps put displaced workers on medicaid, are often the same people calling to cut medicaid. Slap with the right, punch with the left.

Absolutely. And we should work to preserve that history.

> In a rebase model, every step of your feature can be compared to main.

No it can't (unless you just rebased again before running the diff). What it can be compared to is the closest common ancestor.

Which is exactly the same operation that you'd run in a merge workflow.

> I don't fucking care. Why don't you just commit some info about the local weather at that time too or that your back was hurting on Wednesday 23th?

We're not talking about values on the level of politics. We're talking about values on the level of "don't destroy humanity", or even more straightforwardly, understanding "humans are made up of atoms that you may not repurpose for other purposes, doing so kills the human". These are not things that AGI inherently understands or adheres to.

There might be a few humans that don't agree with even those values, but I think it's safe to presume that the general-consensus values of humanity include the above points. And AI alignment is not even close to far enough along to provide even the slightest assurances about those points.
