I've been at a company that did hire overseas for competence. It was still very difficult, primarily because of the communication bottleneck imposed by timezone differences. At times, we had significant parts of these remote teams move to the US, and they were great contributors once they were in the same timezone. Low latency communication is a big deal.

Teams across communication divides like this must own their own piece of the system with a small, well-designed, well-documented interface. Conway's Law is in extreme force in these situations and must be respected if there is to be meaningful success.

I think you're right that LLMs have similar issues. There are no timezone issues, but communication is still very difficult on anything that isn't completely concrete. I think this is part of why they can be good on 1-10 line snippets, but get much worse if you try to get to dozens or hundreds of lines of code that aren't filled with boilerplate and redundancies. Taking that drudgery off our hands (where we can't eliminate it) is a real productivity win, but it's a far cry from replacing us.
A yapping line manager throwing endless status update meetings for filling a spreadsheet must be easily automated even with today's AI, far more than replacing actual productive jobs such as software development.

The only thing holding this back is empire building pyramid constructions.

The announcement is buried here: https://blog.google/technology/families/google-new-built-in-...
If we accept 5 as the number of fatalities, there needs to be 588,000 Cybertrucks in circulation to have an equivalent fatality rate as the Pinto.

If we give some freebies (discount the suicide, magically remove the passengers from a giant passenger truck), and say it's only 2 incidents of "1" fatality, then there needs to be 235,000 Cybertrucks sold to be only as bad as the Pinto.

Both of those estimates are an order of magnitude away from the estimate of 34,000 Cybertrucks sold.

I think it's a fair conclusion that even if there were no additional Cybertruck fire deaths going forward, the Cybertruck will not have a better safety record than the Ford Pinto for several years.

I'm not a rust or c developer.

> As has been exhaustively explained by others in previous HN threads and elsewhere: the Rust developers were asking to be informed of changes so that Rust developers could update their code to accommodate the change.

I don't understand why you don't see this as "a really big deal". The C developers make a breaking change. They fix all the C code, then they write an email to the Rust devs explaining the changes.

Then the process of making the change stops, and the C devs have to wait for a Rust dev to read the email, review the C changes, fix and test the resulting rust, and check in the update. (including any review process there is on the rust side.)

Is it hours, days, or weeks? Are there 2 people that know and can fix the code, or are there 100's. Do the C devs have visibility into the Rust org to know its being well run and risks are mitigated?

This is adding a hard dependency on a third party organization.

I would never dream of introducing this kind of dependency in my company or code.
Eh, right. The "far right" seem to appropriate every other thing these days. I can't keep up.

In the context of a long-term good faith maintainer in what is clearly a constructive good faith email, assigning bad faith meaning to a simple phrase is in itself a bad faith action IMHO.
The fundamental issue here is that any kind of inference can have issues on the edges. If you write code using fully qualified paths all the time, then this semver footgun can never occur.
Because it leads to quieting other forms of entertainment in the form of overall higher parking fees sapping up limited disposable income. Turns out, people go to fewer concerts when their outlay is $300, and then there are fewer concerts scheduled, and fewer local venues, and then fewer concerts that aren't $300 ticket arena fillers because that is all that is left of the market after its been hollowed out through perverse incentives.
EV charging also uses HomePlug. When Ethernet needed to be added to an existing signal line on the EV connector, HomePlug was chosen as the way to do it. Every EV consequentially will need a HomePlug modem to communicate to a charger, so, the world will have HomePlug around for quite some time.
Quite wild to see this being downvoted, because by downvoting, surely one implies the inverse of your post to be the truth, such that projects such as the Linux kernel should be battlegrounds for the grievance of the week, should be platforms for proselytizing, and so forth.

Very strange to see little to no empathy for kernel maintainers in this situation.
Ha I saw that one when I was trying to work out why this wasn't working. Alas no nothing that good.

Turned out the issue was if you set a print range then it has to talk to the printer driver on windows and that takes forever to respond if the thing is a network printer and it's asleep. You open the ODS file it just hangs.

I'm sorry, correcting a story with recent factual information doesn't strike me as undermining the fundamental credibility of a source. Given that they correctly source and attribute the claim that it wasn't tested to a recent article that was accurate at its time of publication.

And given that Tesla did not respond to their request for comment on the data, nor did the national highway safety administraiton, who was supposed to correct them, how?

This is not a problem of bias.
Quite frankly, if I had the realization that despite assurances to the contrary, that my contributions to a project had been sabotaged for months or even years up to that point, I would have also had a hard time keeping a smile on my face.

This is ultimately what this drama comes down to. Not if Rust should or shouldn't be in the kernel, but with kernel maintainers' broken promises and being coy with intentions until there is no other option than to be honest, with the reveal that whatever time and effort a contributor had put in was a waste from the start.

It seems like the folks who didn't want Rust in the kernel will be getting their way in the end, but I had better never hear another complaint about the kernel not being able to attract new talent.

Not doubting this whatsoever, but what are you citing here?
Did you actually read that article. In there it even stated there was a pattern of behaviour and that his comments on Facebook had been shared with thousands and directly resulted criminal damage. Not only that, that his comments were intended to cause criminal damage and result in physical attacks against immigrants.

What you’ve done is selectively quoted a small subset of portions from that article to misrepresent the full trial.

Which is exactly why I had to write my comment defending the UK government earlier. Believe me, I really don’t want to defend the government.

The UK government get a lot wrong when it comes to legislation regarding technology. In fact they get nearly everything wrong and I’ve frequently had to have words my MPs about it (not that that’s done any good). But they categorically do not lock people up just for shitposting. At best that’s just an exaggeration. At worst it’s an out right misrepresentation of the facts.

Oh interesting, I have to give it a go. I used to use Phind pretty often when it first came out and I told a ton of people about it!

But with your (understandable) quota restrictions and there ended up being so many different services, I haven’t used your service in a while. I had so many subscriptions and the $20 didn’t provide the value I needed at the time. With all these new features, I might revisit it again after my complimentary Perplexity Pro (from my ISP) expires in like 6 months.

Gosh, you have no idea how far I am from the left in France. And how far I am from the far-right too. It’s not even on the same axis… but to chose between Le Pen (Putin puppet, as is Trump) or Melenchon (Putin puppet as well), I know who I chose because of the team that goes with it, and the balance it gives to the institutions and which one will allow for a return to democracy and which one will trigger a bloody civil war.

Visibly, your refusal to consider a different point of view, your incapacity to argue for your own leads you down a single possible path and Trump gave you the perfect excuses and means for it.

> That seems totally reasonable. Putting aside the technical merits of the Rust language for the moment, the Rust community suffers from many of the same issues currently hobbling the Democratic Party in the United States. Namely, it often acts like a fundamentalist religion where anyone who dares dissent or question something is immediately accused of one or another moral failings. People are sick of this nonsense and are willing to say something about it.

It's really interesting that every time I open a thread like this, countless people come out swinging with this claim that Rust is totally this religion and cult, while the rest of the thread will be full of C evangelism and vague rhetorics about how nothing like this ever works, while actively contributing to making sure it won't this time either.

99% of insufferable Rust vs. C interactions I've come across it was the C fella being the asshole. So sorry, but no, not very convincing or "totally reasonable" at all.

I am very impressed and I am getting great results for queries like "Show me how to use langchain in python".

However I am disappointed that when I provide a url it can not read the page. Given that this is a search engine I would expect it to be able to read any public URL I provide it.

This is something I have done with easy success with ChatGPT GPT-4o, but Phind throws its hands up. :(

A dozen of vaccines and a proof (from the doctors certified by the US officials) that you have no contagious diseases (including TB) is a prerequisite to get any US visa. The only way to bring TB to the US, I presume, is to jump over the fence at the border.

I feel like the OP is overthinking it. The simple answer is you submit an approval for an IRB waiver, and if your IRB isn't staffed with nitwits, they usually grant it. (i.e. most retrospective studies including w/ chart review, or "minimal harm" studies i.e. w/ asking questions etc, w/o any drugs/surgeries/blood draws etc, or any risk of disseminating private health information usually get the waiver)
> I can hold my government accountable via the polling booth

Yes, but elected officials have used private information to disenfranchise groups of people before. Europe's right to privacy is in part a reaction to abuses that occurred in Nazi Germany.

Or maybe it's not as "widely understood" to mean that?
The solution isn't to reduce the demand for parking.

It's to dynamically price the parking high enough that there is always ten percent of the parking available.

When there is less or no demand, the price would fall.

Just like AWS services that guarantee certain availability all the time. Sometimes the moment by moment utilization cost can go quite high to accommodate, and it's not to make aws rich, it's to mediate the demand.

Shoup's parking fix would benefit the regular person far more directly than AWS does.

Apparently Windows XP is the dominant desktop OS in Armenia. They were savvy enough not to go to Vista I guess. (Not that the country is anywhere near large enough to skew global benchmarks.)
The iOS/MacOS ecosystem is changing all the time, a decent amount of that time, they're good changes to be making. Sometimes they're arbitrary. Sometimes they're stupid. Either way, you know all of this before you publish anything there, so complaining after the fact that Apple is not sufficiently incentivizing you to maintain your code that runs on and is distributed by their operating systems is bizarre to me.

Yes, it's unmaintained, because you are not maintaining it. Should you maintain it? Your decision to make. However if they are not maintained then they are indeed unmaintained and will probably run into problems on newer versions of the aforementioned operating systems.

I personally like that Apple trims the fat and keeps things ship-shape. Yes, the cost to that is older apps don't work on newer Macs and phones. The benefit to that is MacOS and iOS are not saddled with god knows how much legacy code and features to make sure everything that ran on, for example, Windows 95 will also work on Windows 11 (with caveats). Both of these are fine design ethos to go with: Apple went one way, Microsoft another, and both directions have pros and cons accordingly.

> What Apple "doesn't want" is people coming up with justifications against their arbitrary fees, case closed.

Your personification of a corporation is bizarre too. Apple doesn't give a shit if you maintain your software or not. If you maintain it, it remains available. If you don't, it doesn't. This situation is fixed, and you know both outcomes.

Like I dunno, maybe it's just me, this logic doesn't hold up. It's akin to calling an engine needing oil changes arbitrary. Like, I guess? But you also knew that when you bought the thing.
Prior to the Progressive Era of American politics, corporations used to act a lot more like organized crime - the state sans the legitimacy. What we're seeing with governments and corporations working together is a slow return to this era. As the second Trump administration solidifies, we're going to learn the hard way that we're long past the point of corporations just wanting to sell you something.
Yes, I apologize for being combative. I see your point now.

I think I'm also wrong.

I thought about my original response some more and this is a more coherent version of what I was trying to say:

A problem being in NP is sufficient but not necessary to reduce it to an NP-complete problem.

But that's wrong. It's both sufficient and necessary to be in NP. It intuitively feels like you're tacking on more than you need to by introducing the "necessary" constraint, but it makes sense.
I’ve never used wasmcloud, but they claim the following advantage over k8s on this page: “Leverage WebAssembly components to extend Kubernetes and distribute applications across clouds, regions, clusters, and edges.”

I think they use NATS.io to include “edge” services, which is something that is challenging to do in a single k8s cluster.

I don’t think they are trying to replace k8s, but instead are solving a slightly different problem, which is attempting to build something somewhat like k8s, but with very different networking and security constraints.

Theranos’ specific claim was that they could do existing tests with way less blood and way less cost. One of the ways they kept their fraud under wraps was to simply do the tests the old way behind the scenes.

So, blood tests in general were not the controversial part of Theranos.

As others have pointed out, the obstacles to large scale prophylactic blood testing are false positives, and general resistance of health insurers to fund anything not strictly reacting to disease or injury.

Public service announcement: There are already blood tests for detecting pancreatic cancer and other cancers on the market, and more coming, depending on where you live. So get tested, if this is something you are worried about.

I believe the only commercially available one in the US is Grail's Galleri (https://www.galleri.com).

More info on this category of tests: https://www.cancer.org/cancer/screening/multi-cancer-early-d...

There are many tests in the pipeline -- although the technology is there, the regulatory and evidence process is slow. (Data relating to detecting cancer early, by its nature, takes a long time and a lot of people to prove out.)
