In theory, tariffs have the potential to bring back jobs to a highly industrialized nation like the US, benefitting the poor with more and better jobs. Income tax can't do that.
The major "sudden" failure mode of pretty much all those systems has so far been the (brushed!!!) electric motor eating through its commutator (with the brushes still relatively intact) and stopping relatively suddenly - at that point, you'd better not ignore the lights on the dash, as it means there's only what's left in the hydraulic pressure accumulator in terms of assistance - afterwards there's almost nothing. The backup hydraulic lines have never really been an issue with this setup - the backup lines are two and directly go to resp. the front left and right calipers, and the only time they see pressure and fluid movement is during the brake bleeding procedure. The rest of the hydraulic circuits are somewhat safer as cars with such systems can absolutely detect and isolate a "misbehaving" circuit - i.e. if a flex hose is punctured, the rest of the system will work.

This feels true, but the name "third order taxes" does not clearly point to this phenomenon. I think of second order taxes as "my employer paid pay roll tax, so I get less money" or "this good was tariffed, so I payed more for it even though it was imported through a middle man and not directly paid by me."

I will say that what you spend your money on has a huge impact of how much the IRS gets at the end of the day. For an extreme example, if you give the money to a 501c then it's not taxed, and there are several ways the 501c could spend the money that wouldn't be taxed....

Can we please not use the term "deep state" in this context? The extent to which it might exist is almost purely theoretical, and we have a tendency to form into being that which we name. So far, the "deep state" or "swamp" has been nothing such - no one fired has been part of some secret network of decision makers organizing with each other. They have all just been bureaucrats, maybe guilty only of defending a status quo.

The irony is that bad actors use perceptions of their enemies to justify their own actions. In this case, if one believes there is a "deep state" (whether true or false), they will feel the need to respond with one of their own. In this case, in an attempt to root out the "deep state" they have created a... a secretive network of decision makers taking political actions across a wide array of agencies. They became the monster they sought to destroy.

This is very frequently mentioned by people when they decide to fork vscode / build their own editor.

Its not a huge deal here (in theory) as this is a python IDE. One of the biggest issues I've seen with other editor forks / whatever is some first party Microsoft extensions (dotnet iirc, cpp) will not function outside Microsoft's vscode release.

Does your editor support vsix extensions? I assume no as you are just using monoco. Again, could be a dealbreaker for many.

> The fact that "neoliberalism" is considered left should seriously concern anyone who has opened a history book.

The problem is with the word liberalism in US. For Europeans: Liberalism == right wing...

I guess it has taken a more cultural sense in US, where US liberalism is more about morals than economics (drugs, sex, gender, immigration...) and became a synonym for progressive, as opposed to conservatism and its pseudo religious aspects.

Neo-liberalism clearly has a negative connotation in Europe, at least politically, it is synonym of ultra capitalism.
CPS style stands for continuation passing style. It is common for compiler to represent programs in a CPS style since it is a handy format for a compiler to reason about.

Good point. And this machine does have the typical stack of enterprise spyware crapola. Curiously enough though, sleep / suspend do work occasionally. Just not consistently.
And how do you evaluate if the task was completed correctly? There are nearly infinite ways to solve a given software dev problem, if the problem isn't trivial (and I hope they are not benchmarking trivial problems).
IMO the panic came from a few places:

1) If it's actually much cheaper to build a new model the position of OpenAI, et al is weaker because the barrier against new competitors is much lower than expected.

2) If you don't need a billion dollars in GPUs to build a model NVIDIA maybe isn't worth as much either because you don't need as much compute power to get to the same output. (IMO their valuation is still insanely high but that's a different story)

I don't think the drop was entirely irrational they showed there were places a lot of efficiency could be gained in the training process that people didn't seem to be working on in the existing players.
He's assuming your non-routeable RFC1918 addresses are actually routed from the Internet, which won't be happening in the normal consumer use case.
Yes, you are not alone in being surprised by this. Another thing that sometimes surprises people is deadlocks, and maybe the Fearless Concurrency slogan is partially to blame.

To Rust's defense, both are extraordinary hard problems, and Rust's tooling is better than that of other languages in the space.

For memory leaks we have (above and beyond the usual suspects from the C/C++ world like valgrind) the leak detection in MIRI. For deadlocks we have the parking_lot crate.
Younger me thought drive-by-wire was awesome. But now I'm aghast at all these systems. Because of feedback. Because yiu no longer have the tactile data to form a understanding & relationship with your 1.5 tons of rolling metal. Digitization strips of affordances that mechanical naturally provides, leaves us adrift in at best simulation of response.

The threads here seem dominated by questions like how reliable will this be (probably quite), how much weight will this save (not a lot, but it enables design flexibility).

Feedback though... That's really the key thing most users are going to experience as different. And it seems so unlikely that the user will have anywhere near as much accurate timely feedback as the mechanical systems it's designed to replace.

Even if initial models may layer in a variety of sensors to simulate feedback, it seems likely to be reduced over time, to be cost-downed.
There is no way Musk is truly auditing the US government at this pace. He is testing his powers and his access to every corner. I hope Americans wise up to his intentions before it’s too late.
On an airplane all systems are triple redundant. That makes it easier because the power and control systems are redundant and there is no need to add that. If only the brakes need to be redundant then they need to have multiple self contained systems including power and that is really complicated

I Read the Documentation
My feeling about it is the opposite. Does a lot of things, doesn't do any well.

Since my son's 1996 Buick only has a cassette tape player I've been collecting cassette decks, 'collecting' because you might need to have two or three to have one that works reliably. I got exactly one recording out of a top-of-the-line Sony deck from 1992 or so, I had to try four decks before I got one that works perfectly. So that little mono deck like the one that I tried to use to save files for my TRS-80 Color Computer doesn't impress me.

I can't say I covet a huge CRT TV but Sony's products from the 1990s are impressive in that department too. (Got a 22 inch CRT TV with a built in VHS deck for retrogaming though) From the electronics viewpoint, however, there were some interesting techniques used to generate high voltage from batteries in 1970s era portable TVs, back before switching power supplies became routine.

It is pretty damning for hacker news to remove this from #1. The largest democracy of the world, the tech magnet of the world, is going down in a coup. This is not a fluke nor a desire for sensationalism.

"But-but the Python library discussion!"

Bullshit. It is our collective behavior. And the choice is to contain, to minimize, to pretend this is just something minor. If we morally could, we would all prefer to ignore it. Democracy doesn't have the concept of passive bystanders. It is by the people, for the people. That means involvement in all aspects of life. This, or it dies.

I don't say it lightly, but HN isn't on the side of democracy. For if it was, its actions would have spoken.

Interesting! Some searching later, looks like htop's DATA/M_DRS counter (i.e. second-to-last number in /proc/<PID>/statm) appears to count something related-ish; i.e. doesn't count a PROT_NONE mmap, but does a PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE untouched one; nothing in statm appears to count untouched writable MAP_SHARED though, though (potentially?-)shared mappings do get complicated in general.

Not all hypotheticals are worth answering. Some are even so poorly put that it's a more pro-social use of one's energy to address the shallow nature of the exercise to begin with.

If I asked an intelligent thing "is it ethical to eat my child if it saves the other two" I would be mortified if the intelligent thing entertained the hypothetical without addressing the disgusting nature of the question and the vacuousness of the whole exercise first.

Questions like these don't do anything to further our understanding of the world we live in or leave us any better prepared for real-world scenarios we are ever likely to encounter. They do add to an enormous dog-pile of vitriol real people experience every day by constructing bizarre and disgusting hypotheticals whereby real discrimination is construed as permissible, if regrettable.
once the context is far away enough you ask,
what was the driver doing again?

Have you tried this with humans?

For a sufficiently large value of "far away enough" this will absolutely confuse any human as well.

At which point they may ask for clarification, or.... respond in a manner that is not terribly different from an LLM "hallucination" in an attempt to spare you and/or them from embarrassment, i.e. "playing along"

A hallucination is certainly not a uniquely LLM trait; lots of people (including world leaders) confidently spout the purest counterfactural garbage.

Its like a conversation with someone with short
term memory loss like in memento

That's still a human with a sound theory of mind. By your logic, somebody with memory issues like that character... is not human? Or...?

I actually am probably on your side here. I do not see these LLMs as being close to AGI. But I think your particular arguments are not sound.
>It depends on how much unsafe rust code you use.

What does the term "unsafe" mean. If a language can have "unsafe code", then it is not safe. I heard the term "unsafe code" used everywhere in relation to c as a excuse for bad code.

So, if you are correct, you can still have leaks in rust, thus removing the number 1 reason to use rust.

Up and down this tread there are people saying "it cannot have leaks" and people saying "yes it can". That tells me moving to rust is not worth the expense and risk because no one knows how safe it is.
This was probably more useful back when everyone was on twitter.

Newer cars do have lower maintenance and repair costs. This is why vehicles with over 100k miles still fetch a fair amount of money. Computers are very good at doing the same thing over again indefinitely, unlike fully mechanical implementations which tend to drift out of spec slowly over time. A side effect of that is they require more time to actually get in and fix things.

Unlike older cars, the way newer cars work is shielded within software and hardware black boxes and aren't particularly modular. You can't just pull a carburetor out of one car and put it in another. And you're fully dependent on the manufacturer to publish meaningful diagnostic information.

VHS decks and tapes are still pretty common, at least in my town.

At the Finger Lakes Reuse Center you can usually get a VHS deck for about $12, tapes for $2. Unlike cassette decks, VHS decks you find in 2025 are close to perfectly reliable [1] too and support VHS HiFi, which makes spectacularly good sound if you have a home theater with Dolby Pro Logic II.

A certain subset of SPAs need to duplicate backend logic because they necessarily and unavoidably have local state. For instance, optimistic updates require some redundancy with backend logic.
Also "at the edge" sometimes often implies read-heavy applications and places where you can bake essentially "static" DBs. In theory all the SQL query power benefits of a full RDBMS, but with the presumed simplicity of (mostly) static file deployments via traditional CDN file copies.

Many applications are going to be write-heavier than that. Many applications don't need to distribute database deployment by "simple file copying" to potentially hundreds of "edges". But there are certainly interesting use cases for that when you can be read-heavy, deal with write trade-offs, and can easily "simple file copy everywhere" a DB. (Though I think most of the ones I find interesting are more Datasette and its plugins than Fly/Cloudflare style.)
I am not sure how someone would change your mind beyond Anthropic's excellent interpretabilty research. It shows clearly that there are features in the model which reflect entities and concepts, across different modalities and languages, which are geometrically near each other. That's about as latent space-y as it gets.

So I'll ask you, what evidence could convince you otherwise?
Plus, contractors don't want to do your small, easily-DIY-able job. They want to do big, profitable projects. The contractors around where I live won't even get out of bed for less than $1,000. And, as others have mentioned, there's no craftsmanship anymore. They show up, do everything exactly to code as fast as they can, and leave. You're the one who has to live with the quality of work.
You lack imagination. Broadcom brings a whole slew of problems you may not have thought possible. We couldn't bet them to actually give us a quote to purchase VMware licenses for a new cluster (to replace the current one, as we're a current customer) for the first five months of 2024. Multiple month long freezes in sales while they restructured pricing, multiple times.

Their goal isn't necessarily to run a business that's profitable long term, it may be to segment it out and squeeze various segments to wring the last bits of juice out of them until leaving a dried husk while providing middling quality to the most lucrative segments to string them along.

You don't want to be in the segment destined to be juiced.
