> This is what we deserve.

This attitude is why Trump won. A statement like that sounds like you've stopped trying to make anything better, or to articulate a competing plan and convince voters to support it.

So, in this way, the self-loathing defeatism is partly responsible for people like Trump gaining more power.
“BYD doesn’t want to sell in the US” (I presume due to strong anti-China sentiment which would harm an industry that is closely regulated by the government) is very different from “the US doesn’t have a large market for EVs” especially when the EVs BYD makes are low cost. And with Musk close with the government, BYD would be unlikely to be treated well any time soon. It makes sense that the CEO says “it is very complicated” but that is not the same as “the market is small”.

I bought the Asus version of the B580 at MSRP of $280 on launch day.

Central Computers in the SF Bay Area keeps them at MSRP. They may not be in stock online, but the stores frequently have stock, especially San Mateo.

Not useful to people outside the area, but then Microcenter also sells at MSRP. So there are non-scalping stores out there.

The trick is to jump on the stock when it arrives.

Honestly, back in the early days of DigitalOcean when it was nothing, the founder John flew to NYC from I think Oz? and spent a couple of days with us just to share, haven't talked to him since but I found him to be a great guy and I liked his ideas, ghost was nothing then, and here it is - $9 and pretty decent.

No that is not an extreme interpretation of the fair use factors. This is a routinely emphasized factor in fair use analyses for both copyright and trademark. School fair use is different because that defense is written into the statute directly in 17 U.S.C. § 107. Also, § 108 provides extensive protections for libraries and archives that go beyond fair use doctrines.

The idea that the schools are encouraging the students to compete with the original authors of works taught in the classroom is fanciful by the meaning that courts usually apply to competition. Your example is different from this case in which Ross wanted to compete in the same market against West offering a similar service at a lower price. Another reason that the schools get a carveout is because it would make most education impractical without each school obtaining special licenses for public performance for every work referenced in the classroom.

But maybe that also provokes the question as to if schools really deserve that kind of sweetheart treatment (a massive indirect subsidy), or does it over-privileges formal schools relative to the commons at large?
I find this whole discussion tiring. Really you go after the fraudsters and their enablers. They're in another jurisdiction? Who moves the money for them? Go after those people.

Look this is not fancy work. But writing about limiting models is just useless when it comes to fraud prevention. Why are we talking about watermarking models? Because it's easier than doing the hard work of policing money flows.

> Tesla was barely more than an electric powertrain and battery combo when Musk took over.

Musk also had zero experience or track record making cars when Musk took over, nor any hardware products of any kind, for that matter, or running a manufacturing org.

Occam's razor would indicate it's very improbably to credit success all to him.
Yes, although to be fair, the argument would hinge on whether one of them claimed his own divinity, or just claimed to be inspired by Him.[1]

Whether Jesus asserted his divinity in the NT is something that is not supported by all theological scholars, and so that would also excuse him from the bind.

I could, theoretically, get behind a Supreme Being idea, but I remain unconvinced that such an entity has a special interest in a single lifeform on the third rock from a minor star, and a penchant for talking in the kind of riddles that these lifeforms then use to kill each other.

I want to include interactive visualizations and other custom JS components in blog posts. I've worked with React and Svelte extensively as a frontend dev in the past so SvelteKit was the easy choice (much lighter weight than Next, et al).

It's familiarity more than anything. I've gotten around to starting a personal blog several times and abandoned each attempt because I found the blog generators like Hugo and Jekyll hard to customize. Just doing it as a static SvelteKit site eliminated all of the problems at the expensive of a few hours setting up the tech stack. This allowed me to focus on the HTML when I wanted to style the site, markdown when I wanted to write, and Svelte when I add interactive components.
There have been many very concerning posts about this administration here every single day since even before he took office... just do a search for elon or trump and sort by date.

I read the article and while it definitely seems like visa abuse, I saw no reference to Uyghur people. I think you are conflating several issues here.

This is Apple following a federal name change. There are actual "gross" things being done to appease Trump by others; this is not one of them. If it were it would have been done in January when the order was signed, not this week when it hit the naming database.
My father is a retired mechanical engineer. About 10 or 12 years back he mentored some engineering students on their senior project. He said they were very smart, but had almost never touched a machine before which both frustrated and baffled him. In his day, engineers learned how to make the kinds of parts they designed because a design is a set of instructions to factory workers on how to make the part. If you knew nothing about tooling, tolerances, etc. you couldn't produce adequate designs, and the most valuable information came from actually working with the machines.
i have 35yo programmer friends who can hardly stand from back pain.

i don't want to diminish the risk of injuries, but in big part it's also a question of lifestyle. every once in a while even programmers need to lift something beyond their current capacity... and even craftsmen can become couch potatos who only lift at work when they must... and because of that lose touch with their limits.

Yes, Biden increased by $18 billion the $300 billion tariffs that Trump first put in place.

The various incentives, tax rebates and ZEV credits that Tesla (and other EV manufacturers) benefited and still benefit from are also government funding, so the US already do the same.
Funny that you mention that--because CORER may have just survived an attempt at the throne. ROWER (01/19/25) was within inches, according to WordleBot. On the chart, it doesn't look that close because, for some reason, the summary.json that contains the NYT average didn't match up with the average shown on WordleBot that day. Regardless, it seems like CORER seems to take the edge.

yea! even deepseek. Calling an external function / tool calling is really just a data extraction problem.

say you have a tool:

def calculator(expr: str) -> float

then the model just needs to say:

{
"function": "calculator",
"args": { "expr": "5 + 10" }
}

then in your code you can easily pass that to the "calculator" function and get the result, then hand the result back to the model. Making it feel like the model can "call" an external function.

deep seek can also do this: https://www.boundaryml.com/blog/deepseek-r1-function-calling

What does it mean to say you get lower labor cost and government subsidy issues? Are you saying the tariffs are disproportionate to the impact of the subsidies? Temporary price distortions eliminate competition, not encourage it.

Why not just a large constellation of weather balloons with a satellite payload? You have to deal with wind patterns, but that's probably a solvable problem with enough of them. Much cheaper to launch and they don't regularly and necessarily burn to ashes!
You won't find easy access to 240v in most US homes. They're usually put in for very specific appliances like electric laundry dryers or hot tubs. To get your level of charging, most people will need at least some electrical work done.

Your 100km limit is also less than my wife's round trip commute to work, nevermind adding in running errands after or any of the regular travel we do to visit family, though at least some of that would be easy with upgraded charging.

Edit: to be more specific, most US outlets top out at 1.5kw to be safe, though they can usually be temporarily pushed to 1.8 for things like an electric kettle.
Empathy is telling 300,000,000 people to call the mountain "Denali" just because it matters to some 2,000 extant members of a tribe? Are you sure that's empathy? Because to me it seems empty and performative. I could be wrong though. Do you suggest that we use native terms for every landmark that matters to the erstwhile locals, given that their feelings about place names mean so much? Now that I think about it, of course you do. You'd have to be some kind of psychopath to go around guilt tripping strangers about the name of one measly mountain without actually giving a damn about the principles involved.
May I ask which region this happened in? Building things is the powerhouse of societal innovation and if you live in a democratic country, you can vote out bad policy!
The problem in the US is that outlets run at 120v and an overnight charge is closer to 30-40 miles of range assuming 12amp on a 15amp circuit.

In countries with most outlets at 220v it’s probably easier, plus usually less long distance driving than the US.

Obviously if you put a 240v, 50amp outlet in a garage you can ignore everything I just wrote.
No that is great. Tnx
Sort of like a Bussard ramjet, but using solar power rather than nuclear fusion.

Something that bothered me, until I looked up some numbers: the air a VLEO satellite scoops up is presumably more or less at rest wrt the Earth below it--there could be wind and effects of the Earth's magnetic field, and so forth, but for practical purposes it would be coming at the VLEO satellite at about 18,000 mph, or 8 km/s. In order to produce thrust, it has to exit the back of the satellite at a significantly higher speed. It turns out that ion thrusters have an exit speed of 20--50 km/s. So I guess it's feasible.

More info in this Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmosphere-breathing_electric_... --which says the exit speed of this kind of ion thruster is 55 km/s (as tested in a vacuum chamber).
Most of the pro-CCP ideologues I see these days have a horrifyingly naïve sense of equivalence between China and any given other country (or are just sockpuppets of the CCP but I doubt there are many of those on HN).

The same party that happily ran over peaceful protestors with tanks, and never even so much as apologized for it, is still in power almost 40 years later. They openly put their people in prison just for criticizing the Party.

People compare the CCP to Western countries' misdeeds against their citizens when there's not even a comparison. For instance, when the US illegally wiretapped on the AT&T and Verizon networks to slurp up all the call data they wanted, they didn't actually use that data to imprison citizens for their speech, even ones who said things like "Bush is a war criminal." China both does the privacy invasion itself, and quite openly uses anything they can uncover to persecute anyone they deem a threat to their power.

They've also got factories in Europe, South America, and a bunch of other countries. The cars from those factories aren't as inexpensive as the cars from the Chinese factories but they are still pretty low priced for the areas those factories are building for.

They could probably build cars in one of those places that would be economically viable in the US if not for the tariffs, and would satisfy US labor sensibilities.

It appears it is something one can do by accident; Musk did. We seem to have here an accusation by insinuation that Musk is adhering to an ideology which he clearly does not hold. It isn't obvious what the anti-Muskians want done about this. It puts me in mind of when people were calling Trump a liar while he was on campaign - apparently unaware that he was running for political office! I suppose in the end when Mexico didn't pay for the wall they felt a sense of vindication.

I can understand partisan politics, but this is just sillyness. Can there at least be actionable accusations made?
depends on what you work on in the software field. Many of these LLM’s have pretty small context windows. In the real world when my company wants to develop a new feature, or change the business logic, that is a cross-cutting change (many repos/services). I work at a large org for background. No LLM will be automating this for a long time to come. Especially if you’re in a specific domain that is niche.

If your project is very small, and it’s possible to feed your entire code base into an LLM in the near future, then you’re in trouble.

Also the problem is the LLM output is only as good as the prompt. 99% of the time the LLM won’t be thinking of how to make your API change backwards compatible for existing clients, how to help you do a zero-downtime migration, following security best practices, or handling a high volume of API traffic. Etc.

Not to mention, what the product team _thinks_ they want (business logic) is usually not what they really want. Happens ALL THE TIME friend. :) It’s like the offshoring challenge all over again. Communication with humans is hard. Communication with an LLM is even harder. Writing the code is the easiest part of my job!

I think some software development jobs will definitely be at risk in the next 10-15 years. Thinking this will happen in 1 years time is myopic in my opinion.

>And yet UPRO (3X SPY) has significantly outperformed 3X the S&P 500 since inception (since June 2009 UPRO is +8000% vs SPY +700%.

Isn't this just hindsight bias? You market time to right after 2008 crash. Those two dates are probably the best possible because from 2009->2020 we had an 11 year uninterrupted bull run.
If you bought in 2020-2021 you would have been screwed for 3 years at the least. If you bought 10x levered out of the money spy calls every 6 months and roll the winnings since 2009 you probably can get even higher, but probably you don't want to do that.

>Respectfully those are much more expensive and if you're near the money quite non-linear. You're going to have to pony up pretty close to the price of just buying the index again to get 2X exposure if you're deep ITM. Near the money you'll need several options to get 2X - and you'll need to delta rebalance. You'll also get eaten alive by theta decay.

Isn't this for retirement saving? IE where we have big chunks of cash we won't see for 20 years, so you can buy like 2 contracts and its good enough. You'd have to pony up 2x to get the underlying index fund anyways, so you might as well just buy deep ITM calls (which right now are hovering at a premium of 3% for strike of 315$ on spy).

+1 for European options, I forgot you can buy those on index funds, is the liquidity enough on deep OTM calls to be worth it though?

>To avoid having to pony up a ton of collateral or get eaten by theta, you may as well just buy more SPY on margin - or save yourself the hassle and get an /ES=F or /MES=F.
I thought margin / borrowing costs for future etfs is some ridiculous 8-12%. Pretty bad if you have no alpha except beta go up!
