This one is slightly more interesting than a mere cognate as it is believed that the Proto-Indo-European speakers worshipped a sky god with the reconstructed name *Dyḗus ph₂tḗr ("sky-father") which is the ancestor of these (also Tyr and the like on the Germanic side). See:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/*Dy%C4%93us
"*Dyēus is considered by scholars the most securely reconstructed deity of the Indo-European pantheon, as identical formulas referring to him can be found among the subsequent Indo-European languages and myths of the Vedic Indo-Aryans, Latins, Greeks, Phrygians, Messapians, Thracians, Illyrians, Albanians and Hittites."

Right moves for whom?
The problem is you can't put a price on intangible things like being scared of a medical bill.

The premiums don't cover everything and if you (heaven forbid) get a curable form of cancer you're gonna be paying quite a bit out of pocket past the quoted $43k, and it's not just about the money, but dealing with the whole system as well. Getting claims denied and having to contest it, having a mystery bill hanging over your head. If you break an ankle, it might just be less hassle to buy the things you need off Amazon than deal with insurance.

Meanwhile you can complain about eg long wait times in, say, Sweden, but the total deductible per year there is approximately $100 and then you don't pay more than that. Getting a curable cancer just doesn't have the same implication there.

There's also other intangibles. Things like time off, infrastructure, social safety net, dating pool, culture, human rights, cost of living. inequality (good or bad). What's it worth in dollars to you for your daughter to be able to afford to buy a house someday when it also turns out she wants to be a painter when she grows up?

I'm not making any argument for or against a particular county. What I'm saying is, live where you want to live. Money isn't everything so make sure to read past the numbers on a spreadsheet.

The people buying your ads want to know how many people saw them. If your ad is embedded in 3D space, when did someone “see” it? If they were standing at a 10 degree angle for 6 seconds does that count? 11 degrees and 5 seconds?

With video ads they want completion rates. With all ads they like people to be able to click through and engage further with the product. None of these questions have satisfying answers with embedded ads. That’s why they never took off.
This is always a point of frustration for me. Under the normal big-O model, hashtables aren't, and can't be O(1) lookup, even for the mythic perfect hash function! You can only get the O(1) figure by breaking the big-O model and bolting on some in-practice assumptions[1] that are used nowhere else in discussion of asymptotic complexity.

Specifically, as you resize the table, you need a function with a bigger output space to give you more places to store the item. To have a bigger output space, you unavoidably have to do more computations. If you go from a function with n possible outputs to one with 2n possible outputs, as n goes to infinity, you eventually have to use a function with more steps.

Sincere question: what do you believe should happen when a company becomes successful?

You make excellent criticisms and I've had similar thoughts. But I never really understood what people want to do other than confiscate companies once they become successful. Not saying that is what you want to do - you specifically say not that.

You mention "let’s engineer a network of trust and monitoring and a culture of transparency". I'm not sure what that means.

The usual copyright cartel is up in arms, crying theft. But here’s the truth: intellectual property is a state-enforced monopoly, not real property.

Property is based on scarcity - if you take my car, I no longer have a car. But if you copy my book, I still have my book. No loss, no theft, just an outdated legal fiction designed to stifle innovation and enrich rent-seeking middlemen. An no, loss of potential sales doesn't count - it's like being able to claim a lottery ticket has real value.

Copyright was never about protecting creators—it’s about locking down ideas, preventing competition, and extracting endless fees. Shakespeare borrowed, tech companies iterate, and science thrives on free exchange. The idea that knowledge should be locked away indefinitely is absurd.

Meta’s mistake wasn’t using the data - it was pretending copyright still matters. AI is exposing the system for what it is: obsolete. The future belongs to those who create without asking permission.
Python uses UTF-8. A Python string is iterable. It is generally reasonable to describe any iterable as a vector (at least in terms of the API). The result of such iteration might not be a character in any formal sense, but it's a reasonable description nonetheless.

I'm really not seeing the issue here.

The position is more extreme than that. It’s your SaaS without its UI is nothing more than a database.

> The underlying SaaS platform is reduced to a “database” or “utility” that an agent can switch out if needed.

I agree that UI isn’t going away completely. Language is a slow and imprecise tool. A well developed UI can be much more efficient. I think it will be much more like the Star Trek universe, where we use a blend of the two.

In any case, if the AI agent can generate UI on the fly, it seems their point still stands?
>There absolutely are justifiable reasons and those reasons have worked out very well for the U.S. in the past.

Apollo quickly lost funding and popular support once the Cold War in space was effectively over. Space Shuttle ran on its fumes, and it had to be designed partially as a warplane in order to get additional funds from USAF that NASA couldn't get otherwise. SLS is an extension of that.

Also, we're living in 2025, not 1965. The reasons of the past do not translate perfectly to today.

>And as to whether we have the money for it, the U.S. is the wealthiest it has ever been and certainly much wealthier than we were in the 60s.

We are also literally many trillions in debt. There are many things we should be doing and arguably none of that involves another Moon program just for the sake of it. Been there, done that; we don't have the money.

Eh: We've seen it before. Its powerful, but its in the same class of power as social media feed algorithms, especially highly weaponized variants like TikTok. Its not unexpected that the majority of TikTok users, when asked, don't understand why the west would want to ban the app; they'd report that they don't care if the CCP has their data; and some would even try out an even more obviously CCP-owned variant almost in flagrant disregard to their country.

Its simple brainwashing. Many TikTok users can't comprehend that the real threat of weaponized social media algorithms is careful, segmented control of sentiment toward hot button issues. Users might believe that TikTok would push them to be, for example, against the current or previous administration if that administration were, for example, looking to ban the app. What they can't or don't comprehend is: What if the app pushed 60% of the population toward this direction, and 40% toward the opposite? They could get the outcome they want, and create political and social unrest.

There's a police killing of a black man in an inner city. The algorithm knows where you live. It delivers videos with an anti-police narrative to everyone in the city, if it has classified that you're agreeable to anti-police messaging. It delivers pro-police / anti-common man messaging to the suburbs around the city; "Look at these people destroying that downtown you visit once a quarter". Inciting chaos. Why? Because Chaos is a ladder; it is, itself, a goal of our enemies.

Super Intelligence ≠ Hyper Intelligence
Europe is capable of regulating it's businesses and maintaining fair competition. America fights against sensible legislation like GDPR, DMA and DSA while letting billionaires pay for preferential treatment in the cases of Elon Musk and Tim Cook.

Having worked at a number of (now failed) American startups, I don't see how Trump's administration will increase competition by reducing monopoly regulation. It's going to exacerbate current dysfunction in the software industry, reduce the number of educated professionals in America and raise the barrier to selling software and designing new, economically competitive hardware.

America's lack of serious competition is one of the reasons I don't start my own business. It's probably the reason half this industry works at a Fortune 500 company instead of being a freelancer or entrepreneur.

About six months ago I bought an Anker set - a portable battery pack and some folding panels. A buddy of mine got basically the same thing, but Ecoflow. He lives in a condo, has a balcony, and can hang his panels there to charge the pack; my options are a little more constrained (3 story house with a couple hundred sq ft concrete "yard", with light blocked most hours of the day by the next house.)

I haven't gotten much use out of my set, but his plan was to run his desktop off it, which sounded very doable. All in all probably not quite the same as Germany (I guess their kits don't need a battery or plug into the wall or something).
> you can check the index before

You can check manually, but we know programmers can't be trusted to do so correctly every time. There's an ocean of security vulnerabilities because of this, as out-of-bounds access of a raw array is undefined behaviour in C and C++.

It makes good sense to use at in debug builds especially, where you're less concerned about the performance penalty.

In C++ you can define a macro to select between at and [], and while this isn't exactly pretty, it does work:

#ifdef DISABLE_RANGE_CHECKS
#define AT_METHOD operator[]
#else
#define AT_METHOD at
#endif

#include <vector>

// ...

i = my_vector.AT_METHOD(my_idx);

> even there it looks questionable imo

Why? Its behaviour is pretty much strictly better than that of raw []. The only downside is a possible performance hit.

You might have compassion fatigue.

I've worked in tech support too, and at the beginning some people were just doing things wrong. I tried to give them advice, but they weren't always willing to listen, or it led to lots more work to fix the root cause. I started to learn to help them with the current problem only, and not get philosophical because the time saved could help other people.

But this gets turned around if you are the person with the problem. It turns into people helping you by treating a symptom instead of doing systemic / holistic diagnosis and treatment.

I've found lots of people who have struggled with medical conditions, only to finally get a diagnosis (and treatment!) that looking backwards was blindingly obvious.

Never committing and stubbornly committing to your first idea are two sides to the same coin. Both champion binary black/white thinking based on gut feelings, not on running real code. The only way forward is to gather data and learn from it.

Open Source AI Context Collection Tool for Engineers
We’re working on a project that involves static parsing of codebases, and we realized we could automate gathering context for AI queries about our code. It’s free to download if anyone is interested.

Currently, it grabs the error (if applicable), a few lines around your cursor, the current function, type info for referenced types, the file tree, language, environment, and other relevant details for your active file. We thought this could be useful for anyone who, like us, often finds themselves manually copying all this info.
