Everyone says this when it's a political argument or perspective they agree with. Not everyone agrees with the same perspectives; that's precisely what leads to flame wars and back-and-forth non-intellectual bickering. HN has been taken over by these threads since Trump was inaugurated, and especially since DOGE came into existence. Many of us don't find these discussions intellectually stimulating, especially on a website titled Hacker News.

You've defined a global totalitarian regime, and crowned the thing as its dictator. Of course the result is a version of communism.

I see another construction boom happening in Spain. The remaining somewhat unspoiled coastline is once again being covered in concrete. Developers introduced a new time-share variant called "co-ownership" to drive demand.

If i were wrong, those companies would be distributing that cash to shareholders instead of chasing any promise of any big chance.

If investment in AI don't pan out (i do think that it will pan out, and those trillions will come) then those companies would just pour even more billions into whatever big thing/promise would come next. Rinse and repeat. Because some of those things do generate tremendous returns, and thus not playing that game is what really constitute true loss of money.
I have some pretty intense trauma in my life that I can recall extremely vividly even though i have little memory of the weeks surrounding the event. Often when I don't even want to. Certain memories are true memories.

I liked Grok 3 fiction writing style; catches lots of physics of mundane situations such as ringing echo in a closed bathroom we all know well; the prose feels very lively as the result. Kinda like R1 makes situations sharp with details, Grok 3 makes the other way around - rounded by using details.

I remember a handful of insanely specific things from this age that I've since verified with my parents - I generally don't seem to misremember or fabricate memories. That being said there are a _lot_ of things that I require prompting via photo or video to remember and probably 90% of my life from that time is unrecoverable. I vividly recall random moments from family functions and some intense nightmares but the family dog, for instance, is a complete black hole. Weird stuff.

Primary school is still knocking around but I think I (and many others) suppress it to retain their sanity in adulthood :-P
This is one of my pet frustrations, and I've solved it over the years with a very specific software development workflow, which all issues in my project go through.

The states, which many of you may recognize: ANALYSIS, REQUIREMENTS, SPECIFICATIONS, DESIGN, INTAKE, IMPLEMENTATION, REVIEW, VERIFICATION, RELEASE.

Every issue in my projects is assigned one of these states. If it cannot be pushed forward (the workflow goes from left to right), the reason is that one of the prior states was not done thoroughly enough.

More often than not, an issue will get to INTAKE (where the developer reviews the prior states and makes sure they are complete), and .. gets immediately kicked back to ANALYSIS.

ANALYSIS, when not done properly (identifying the similarities, identities, and differences of the aspects of the issue), always screws with the time estimate problem. When done properly, it solves the estimation problem.

And, more to the point, when an issue has been left->right but then gets bounced back to ANALYSIS, it shows the project manager which issues have not been properly analysed, and therefore are a source of time over-budget.

So many times I have solved the ire of managers by just showing them the kanban, and pointing out the specific progress/delay of their 'pet issues' from left->right, not getting past the two quality control steps ("INTAKE" and "VERIFICATION" are quality stages), and getting bounced to ANALYSIS.

Seriously, don't overlook the importance of systematic analysis. It helps immensely with reducing time budgets. I note with great interest that this washing machine project frequently bounced the issue back to ANALYSIS, multiple times, because it wasn't done properly ..
I think the author's point isn't that it's easier, it's the fact that being in an isolated, low judgmental environment allows you to express edgy ideas more uniquely without the prepackaged style you often find in big cities, where fashion brands and think tanks have heavy interests in selling you the next big thing.

A good example in Europe is how Berlin went from being a cheap city with loads of artistic freedom to a place where people wait in line for hours outside a club just to find out if their black leather shirt is edgy enough. They're all trying to stand out, but somehow they all end up looking the same.

Here in europe we have Miele who make various white goods, and their washing machines are designed to actually last, rather than fail once the guarantee has run out.

I think they plan for 20+ years lifetime. Our one is getting on for 18 years old now, and has had no issues, or for that matter, any indication of problems.

It's a very one-dimensional view.

My problems with Java are startup time and memory consumption (and NPEs).

If that's not your problem - fine. But writing web apps in the Java ecosystem has been terrible for many of the most important years (let's say 2005 to 2015) and that's where all the "young people" forsake it for... PHP, Rails, node.js.

(You can already guess that I'm not even counting myself as part of the younger generation here. I'd used used Java and the JVM intermittently between 2000 and 2020 but it has never been my favourite stack).
you sound a little hurt. Why the hate?
Pretty true. But I generally describe it as religious a*holes are crazy.

Efficiency isn't the number one goal of a democracy. You want pure efficiency, dictatorships are the way to go.

But for the most part, the things I expect the SF city government to do, get done. The roads are paved, the schools function, crime is kept in check, elections are held, permits are issued, inspections get done, etc. All to varying degrees of course. And the people get to change leadership if they feel things aren't going well (as they did in the last election).
As a person who works with data and has done both consulting and product building in Data Science and lack of domain knowledge is what makes or breaks the end result. Too often do technical people think they know better and then build mediocre solutions that don't get used.
there is a direct, mechanical aproach to exhaust energy recovery, dating to 1950, called turbo compound engines, that were complicated, but very fuel efficient, the practice has been revived for use in highway truck engines now
also other schemes to generate electricity from an exhaust turbine
if both were be combined, with a high temp heat storage block, then best efficiency and lowest emisions could be possible
totally agree. And this is one of the reasons the EU is falling more and more behind, all the silly regulations.
Then it seems you are not sorry. Either way, it would have been absurd for me to ignore the humanity of the people I share the world with, especially given the ample amount of examples of military men being lost in their emotions.
Interestingly, I found a deck of studying cards from Endeavor-Air, for the CRJ 900 limiations [1]. Card 18 states:

Max allowable crosswind component for takeoff and landing on a runway when the braking action is “FAIR” => 20 knots

That also seems to overlap with what is being discussed by CRJ pilots in this reddit thread [2] (EDIT: also discussed today here [3])

If the METAR is correct, they were landing with a crosswind of 28 knots, gusting to 35, on what doesn't look like a "dry" runway. So they might have been over their operational limits here.

Show HN: PromptMD – for those who juggle with prompts all day
I was tired of dealing with Apple notes to maintain and sort my growing prompt collection, so I made this. Drop the HTML file somewhere and open it with your browser. It uses local storage and does not send any data anywhere else. It's pretty. You can drag to reorder. It's got import export functions. I use it nearly all day every day.
though the dividends were not obvious to the lay people vs now. Which means that upcoming winter won't be as cold.
I'm from Perth, one of the windiest cities in the world, and had a very similar situation landing once, a few years ago .. seemed like we were on center runway, everything seemed fine for smooth landing, and .. what felt like meters before touchdown, a gust came up and we rolled hard left, the wingtip barely escaping scraping the ground. The pilot corrected the roll and we did a go-around for another attempt, 30 minutes later while the wind settled.

Was such a harrowing experience that, when travelling back home from abroad, I try to fly into Port Hedland and then just take a 10-hour bus ride. (Okay, I admit that I do that mostly so I can get my jet-lag adjusted at the beaches of Shark Bay along the way .. ;)
The AI Act doesn't prevent Grok from releasing their model in the EU! (And ChatGPT early issues were all linked to GDPR)

While I do agree with your point - I wonder what information companies could release that'd be immediately useful to you.

It's not like they understand what the weights mean either and if they released the code and dataset used to create it, you probably couldn't recreate it, owning the fact that you don't own tens of thousands of GPUs.

If a software's source is released without all the documentation, commit history, bug tracker data etc., it's still considered open source, yet you couldn't recreate it without that information.

Fairly unrelated but... before starting it, my washing machine estimates it will take say 1:16, or 2:45 or whatever depending on the cycle I choose. I push the button and the cycle starts.

And while it's running it will just change the estimate. Sometimes it just jumps down -sometimes up- say 10 or 15 minutes. It just fills with water, turns a couple of times, pauses, and pof! 20 minutes less. Then at the end when it's almost done it will just add a few minutes. It's about to end 0:01, it empties, turns a bit... pof! 0:03. It then turns a bit more and maybe half a minute later decides that 3 minutes was too much; it's done 0:00 Beep beep.

The thing that amuses me is that those few minutes at the end are always added at the last minute and they are always too much. Like it kind of panics at the end "wait, not done, not done yet!" and then again "oh, yes, yes, I'm done, just fine".
As a side note a lot of exhaust/turbo isolation in tuned cars also has to do with melting/overheating other things in the engine bay. Especially on street cars.

It's easier to just pirate a book than to buy it from amazon and open a windows vm and strip drm in order to read it where I want. DRM doesn't stop people copying.

Last night I was about to start working on a lot of text I need to submit my startup to a government funding program. Questions like "describe what your startup does", "describe your market" and things like that. Tens of fields which I estimated would take me a week and a half to do it right, if I wasn't going to pause all my other activities.

Then I had a better idea: I spent 20 minutes baby wearing, walking and dictating everything about my startup to ChatGPT. Later I took all that text and labeled it as a brain dump, plus my product support portal and some screenshots of my marketing material. Gave it all to ChatGPT again and asked it to answer each of the questions in the form. That's it. I have a pretty good version 1 which I can revise today and be done with it.

Many, many hours saved. I have tens of examples like that.

The product documentation I provided it with was also created with the help of GPT, and that saved me even more time.
Awesome idea! Just a thought, but a century version would be spot-on!
The EU regulations are there to protect the average citizen, not to help the 1% run wild with whatever business idea they have. You personally might not like it, but the non-entrepreneurs, which is most people, are pretty satisfied that the laws in the EU are more focused on the citizen and their rights and not on boosting the shareholders' profits.
Yep. There are people who love programming, it's the best part of the work anyhow! And then there are people who come and tell that whatever you do doesn't matter and they are more content on getting a new app by writing a prompt and deploying possibly buggy code. Two different crowds of people.

I'm in a middle. I enjoy Zed and its predictions, I utilize R1 to help me to reason. I do _not_ ever want to stop programming. And I see so often whenever somebody less experienced than me shows me look how Cursor did this with three prompts, can we merge? And the solution is just wrong and doesn't solve the hard issues.

For me the biggest issues are the people who want to see the craft of programming gone. But I do enjoy the tooling.

> I think that the CHIPS act, TSMC foundries on US soil, etc are all part of this process.

very likely
It's not even "but it is hard", but the perennial excuse of "scale", as if the US isn't split in states, and cities, and counties. This comes up so often when someone don't want to acknowledge a solution that works elsewhere (everything from trains to, well, this), and ignoring that you don't need to solve the entire problem everywhere at once to make things better.

If this was some super-costly policy that needed a big apparatus around it, then they'd have a point, but e.g. in Finland, one estimate is that it costs them up to 9,600 euro a year less to house a person first vs. leaving them homeless. As such, just starting to provide some housing units and gradually grow it would be a win for every local government with a homeless person.

It only starts to become a challenge if a few local governments reaches such a level of provision that it attracts homeless people from surrounding areas that don't do anything themselves, but that's not a reason not to start.

Sometimes it feels like US taxpayers wants the government to burn money if the alternative is to do something that might help other people with it.
Oh. I come from and am In a country with much stricter Free Speech laws.

I think all of them are pretty crap for today’s environment.

But yes - the operating definition of Free speech, the one enforceable in courts, the one you have lived under, is the one I outlined.

Namely - no government over reach in speech. Not that people can’t do what they want as private individuals, and now corporations.

So you can in theory, have a corporation buy up all the local news channels, and then have them share one kind of point of view. It’s perfectly free speech.

You could stream porn, and the courts would side by you for your right to free speech.

This doesn’t mean you wont get sued for piracy, or actually earn money through your project - you still need a service people want.

I’m dead serious, you can check if you like - but these are the rules you live under even right now.

Ok. Sure, so I think my error was based on my over extrapolation from this:

>people here that gatekeepers (companies) should have the power to decide that and 'protect' their audience from it. That IMO is anti free speech, as the 'protect' part of the term is abiguous/subjective and depends on the beliefs/opinions of the gatekeepers.

Gatekeeping would be a right of platforms and I assumed that combating it would involve forcing them to behave in accordance with an external force.

And Since you are discussing only twitter, it does follow that Twitter has an anti-speech position, despite their stated intentions.

——-

For a bit more fun, I think what X was proclaiming is the naive version of free speech. The kind of “anyone can make this app” naive over generalization.

I have a mechanism which allows me to balance the needs of moderation and censorship with free speech. Its an interesting exercise, I think you might like working through it.

From personal experience - I have had to ban people, and it was a form of censorship. Resolving this contradiction effectively changed my career path.

So I have a 1000 users on my forum. One user is incredibly active, and spends their time abusing a specific local minority group.

Things like X minority needs to die, not arguing in good faith.

Now, ideally I shouldn’t ban him, and let counter speech do its things. But since they aren’t arguing in good faith, counter speech doesn’t work.

Over time, this is also creating second order effects in other conversations.

It’s attracting a new kind of user, its driving conversations to be more polarized, and its reducing time spent on longer more thoughtful posts.

If the old metric is right, that it is ten times harder to debug code than to write it, having something that writes buggy code 100x faster than you can understand it is a problem.
