It doesn't make sense, and Ukraine has already stated that they don't agree to any ceasefire they don't personally negotiate. Just yesterday American leadership tried tricking them into signing a deal after levying a (quickly retracted) threat: https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/us-russia-set-begin-high-sta...

Only Ukraine can sue for peace, and they've stated quite openly that they will not give Russia the land they occupy. Trump's admin can negotiate whatever they want behind closed doors, but Ukrainian leadership has no obligation to listen. Trump doesn't have the leverage he would like with NATO starting to well up the bases of European support.
Sorry my friend. I know you are being sarcastic, but this continues to betray not having enough exposure to the realities of business, employing people and the realities of businesses of different scales.

Most employees are not evil, incompetent or undesirable. And the same is true of most companies. As is always the case in the real world, a few bad players cause all the problems.

A simple example of this are police forces. The overwhelming majority of people are good, law-abiding citizens and most of us never interact with police in the context of criminal matters. Policing and many of the laws they have to enforce, exist because of a very small number of criminals and idiots that fuck it up for everyone else.

It's the same in the employer-employee relationship. There are a small number of shit companies and a small percentage of shit employees, and that's where friction happens. That's where laws and some of what is being discussed in this threat is a necessity.

Another example from personal experience. We manufactured hardware products. In this context, we had very expensive manufacturing equipment and tools. For example, we had a whole series of specialized crimping hand tools for various connectors. These tools range in cost from $400 to $1,200.

I cannot tell you how many tools were stolen by our own employees over time --tens of thousands of dollars.

Once again, it's a few jerks that cause the problems. You could trust most people with your life, all it takes is one or two idiots to change things. And change they did. We had to institute a sign-out system. We setup surveillance cameras in the assembly areas. In some cases we had to buy full kits of tools, assign them to individual workers and make them sign for them (meaning, they are financially responsible if anything goes missing).

So yes, a few jerks, both companies and employees, are responsible for loads of shit nobody likes, including, to go back on topic, such things as non-compete requirements.

I don't like it. I just happen to understand why these things exist because I have held many of these cats by the tail. A reference to my favorite saying: "A man holding a cat by the tail learns something he can learn in no other way" by Mark Twain.

One should never presume to understand anything until one has the experience to grab onto that tail and hold on for dear life. It is very easy to have opinions from an external perspective, in fact, everyone has them and they are all sure they are right.

Back when I was all-in on GCP, I had a queue.yaml file which the appengine deployer syncs to cloud tasks (creates/disabled queues, changes the rate limits, concurrency, etc).

Now that I'm mostly on AWS... I still use the same system. I have a thin little project that deploys to GAE and has a queue.yaml file. It sets up the cloud tasks queues. They hit my EB endpoints just like they used to hit my GAE endpoints.

As a bonus, my thin little GAE app also has a cron.yaml that it proxies to my AWS app. Appengine's cron is also better than Amazon's overcomplicated eventbridge system.

It's great.

I was diagnosed with migraine as a kid when I was 10. The doctor made me undergo a battery of tests including a contrast CT scan that consumed aj entire day, only to confirm at the end of the day that it was migraine. The migraines weren't even that debilitating but my mom was just being extra careful.

After that, I still got headaches at a good frequency and tried all sorts of specialists from orthos to opthalmologists, all of who checked their areas of the body and said I was perfectly normal. The one doc I didn't see was a gastro and this was a mistake.

Eventually I grew older and realised first that my headaches were always preceded by some sinus congestion and milk was a trigger of said congestion. So I switched to lactose free milk and that helped.

Eventually I realised that I was a chronic acid reflux patient, that a lot of small symptoms I had had over the years (a feeling of something stuck in the throat, congestion etc) were basically just the gut throwing up acid, or more accurately LPR/silent reflux. The reflux was the actual trigger of my headache. So my usual medication of Paracetamol, or worse, ibuprofen was actually making it worse in the medium/long term.

I switched my strategies to fixing the gut/acid reflux instead of treating the headache. The max I do nowadays is 325mg of paracetamol if I need to sleep and the pain doesn't let me. Ibuprofen is a nuclear option that I haven't resorted to in years.

The gut issue is still not resolved, I suppose years of damage to the oesophagus takes time to heal, so I'm still prone to reflux but I make do with a bland diet, avoiding triggers like milk and resorting to PPIs for short bursts during an attack. Oh and I also do the bending while swallowing trick that was on HN sometime back, which has helped immensely.

My headaches are mostly a thing of the past. Haven't had a debilitating one in years.
Is this what they call falling upwards?
Capitalism does not care who makes it profit. Trump makes all his branded stuff in China. Tim Cook, Warren Buffett, Elon Musk are just a few of the obvious names to invest heavily there. The American working class does not care, Walmart and Amazon distribute enormous quantities of Chinese-made goods to them. We'd be heavily into Russia or North Korea if they made anything we wanted, it's just that dysfunctional societies aren't all that productive.
The reason Chevron likely compelled the Executive Order, at least in part, is because the Trump administration likely views the ability for agencies to self-resolve ambiguities in their own rules as bad and potentially obstructive to their agenda.

For example, an agency might self-resolve an ambiguous rule to say they can’t be fired or similar, which would directly conflict with what the Trump administration wants to do.

While it was overturned, perhaps there are fears of other loopholes that they see that can accomplish this beyond simple case law.

Migraines being more than a headache has been the norm for at least 15-20 years. I remember hearing about how cluster headaches could be treated with psilocybin. I'm not able to access the rest of this article, but what's the new thing here? We already knew for years its not "just a headache"
How would you define "commercially successful"? The first fusion power plants will only get built with huge government subsides. Some governments like China look at this as a strategic, existential issue and will pay whatever it costs to make it work. They don't like being dependent on foreign fossil fuel supplies that the USA could easily interdict.

The joke is that people tend to anthropomorphize LLM based chatbots so saying older models get age related diseases like humans is funny. The findings are the inverse, newer models do better on dementia tests than older models.

Whether a test was "intended" for humans or not is irrelevant in bench-marking AI. An AGI should reasonably be expected to answer such question.

>> My use of python is somewhat recent. But the two languages that I have used a lot of - Java and JS - have interpreters that were heavily optimized over time. I wonder why that never happened with python and, instead, everyone continues to write their critical code in C/Rust.

Improving Python performance has been a topic as far back as 2008 when I attended my first PyCon. A quick detour on Python 3 because there is some historical revisionism because many online people weren't around in the earlier days.

Back then the big migration to Python 3 was in front of the community. The timeline concerns that popped up when Python really got steam in the industry between 2012 and 2015 weren't as huge a concern. You can refer to Guido's talks from PyCon 2008 and 2009 if they are available somewhere to get the vibe on the urgency. Python is impactful because it changes the language and platform while requiring a massive amount of effort.

Back to perf. Around 2008, there was a feeling that an alternative to CPython might be the future. Candidates included IronPython, Jython, and PyPy. Others like Unladen Swallow wanted to make major changes to CPython (https://peps.python.org/pep-3146/).

Removing the GIL was another direction people wanted to take because it seemed simpler in a way. This is a well researched area with David Beazley having many talks like this oldie (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ph374fJqFPE). The idea is much older (https://dabeaz.blogspot.com/2011/08/inside-look-at-gil-remov...).

All of these alternative implementations of Python from this time period have basically failed at the goal of replacing CPython. IronPython was a Python 2 implmentation and updating to Python 3 while trying grow to challenge CPython was impossible. Eventually, Microsoft lost interest and that was that. Similar things happened for the others.

GIL removal was a constant topic from 2008 until recently. Compatibility of extensions was a major concern causing inertia and the popularity meant even more C/C++/Rust code relying on a GIL. The option to disable (https://peps.python.org/pep-0703/) only happened because the groundwork was eventually done properly to help the community move.

The JVM has very clearly defined interfaces and specs similar to the CLR which make optimization viable. JS doesn't have the compatibility concerns.

That was just a rough overview but many of the stories of Python woes miss a lot of this context. Many discussions about perf over the years have descended into a GIL discussion without any data to show the GIL would change performance. People love to talk about it but turn out to be IO-bound when you profile code.

Or they just have different experiences than you do? For the positions I've been in, the drive into the office is just a waste of time. Most of the people are in different locations resulting in virtual meetings anyhow. Companies are realizing this and are going remote where they can because they find it difficult to find people locally or convince people to relocate. The "entitled" are just exercising their option to work places which better fit them.

China has so much leverage over Musk having subsidized some of Teslas biggest factories, and being one of Teslas biggest markets.

In fact Tesla was the only foreign automaker to commit sign a letter affirming the CCP's "core socialist values" in 2023.

https://archive.is/RMcao

> Elon Musk’s Tesla has joined Chinese automakers in pledging to enhance “core socialist values” and compete fairly in the country’s car market after Beijing directed the industry to rein in a months-long price war.

> Yaqiu Wang, senior China researcher with Human Rights Watch, said the pledge on Thursday undermined Tesla’s standing. “Failing to comply with ‘core socialist values’ has been frequently used by authorities to punish speeches that are critical of the Chinese government,” she said.

> His trip returned the spotlight to restrictions on free speech that have intensified under Xi. Twitter is banned in China, and Musk refrained from using the platform during his visit, drawing criticism from human rights groups over allegations of compliance with Chinese censorship.
Exceptions are a terrible idea.

However, I strongly prefer rust error handling to Go.

go:

(res, err) := foo()
if err != nil
return err
(res, err) := bar(res)
if err != …

Equivalent rust:

let res = bar(foo)?)?;

I think go should add the ? sigil or something equivalently terse.

Ignoring all the extra keystrokes, I write “if err == nil” about 1% of the time, and then spend 30 minutes debugging it. That typo is not possible in idiomatic rust.

I agree with you, and European nations are now proposing a historic $700B deal to support Ukraine. As the USA chooses to end the American Century, my only hope is that the next century will be led not by China, but by Europe.

What I don't understand is why people like Musk and Sachs, two very influential Trump admin members, have been perfectly aligned with Putin. For years, they have repeated Kremlin talking points word for word. It's uncanny.

Trump himself was accused of being a Moscow stooge for years, and yet came out very strong against Russian aggression during the first weeks of his administration. Suddenly, it's all exactly what Putin wants. What happened? Was it all theater?

`nix-store --optimize` is a little different because it looks for duplicates and hardlinks those files across all of the packages. I don’t know how much additional savings that would yield with a typical uv site-packages, but it guarantees no duplicate files.
