It’s also ironic given the Twitter files revealed it had close ties to the government under previous ownership. Biden and his administration were regularly pressuring and demanding censorship from tech companies.

What's terrifying is how well your post serves as a replacement subject for https://xkcd.com/1022/ . A valid observation in literally any situation involving these people.

No I meant something else. As you said: us humans love clean abstractions. We love building on top of them.
Now LLMs are trained on data produced by us. So I wonder if they would also inherit this trait from us and end up loving good abstractions, and would find it easier to build on top of them.
Other possibility is that they end up move-37ing the whole abstraction shebang. And find that always building something up bespoke, from low-level is better than constraining oneself to some general purpose abstraction.

Disclaimer: I work on pyspur

I'd recommend pyspur if you seek

1) More AI-native features eg. Evals, RAG, or even UI decisions like seeing outputs directly on the canvas when running on the agent
2) Truly open-source Apache license
3) Python-based (in the sense that you can run and extend it via python)

On the other hand, n8n is
1) more mature for traditional workflows
2) offering overall more integrations (probably every single integration you can think of)
3) TypeScript based and runs on Node.js

right, because that's the not point, the point is to be like N64-era graphics at 60fps and greater, with widescreen, motion blur, and other things that have high engagement amongst gamers (whether the self-proclaimed gamers like them or not)
TikTok is secretly manipulated by the CCP, and requires US based executives to sign oaths to uphold their propaganda:

https://dailycaller.com/2025/01/14/tiktok-forced-staff-oaths...

Twitter is not being “actively manipulated”. It is probably the least manipulated platform, considering the extreme censorship that was normalized on Twitter, facebook, reddit, etc. Twitter is the closest to neutral and free speech. So yes this is an overreaction.
Wow I just googled this and it's the first time I'm hearing about it!
Software engineers also create value by recognizing opportunity.
Considering the COBOL Metre date screw-up, it's pretty obvious that the folks doing this don't understand the most basic underpinnings of the systems they're poking and prodding.

For those who missed it, DOGE claimed there were tons people who were about 150 years in the system. In actuality, the the default date in COBOL is May 20, 1875 (the date of the Metre Convention) which works out to about 150 years old.

Elon Musk publicly stated: "cursory examination of Social Security, and we got people in there that are 150 years old. Now, do you know anyone that's 150? I don't know. They should be in the Guinness Book of World Records... So that's a case where I think they're probably dead."

That's how little Musk understands about computer systems he's supposedly responsible for analyzing. And Elon has publicly stated he'll often be wrong wrt DOGE.

EDIT: Elon also posted a Tweet showing age buckets, but according to other Social Security Association folks, they didn't filter out dead people or non-recipients. When you do, only 89,106 are aged 99+. Less than the number of living centenarians in the US: https://x.com/justinwolfers/status/1891678450487841007

> Airstrikes killed 700 civilians in Afghanistan in 2019 alone, more than any other year since the early days of the war in 2002, according to the study. "There were more weapons dropped from the air in 2018 and 2019 than at the height of US presence in Afghanistan in 2011," the report stated.
Thank god for common sense.
If you want an example, I wrote a blog post about this a few years ago: https://www.falsifian.org/blog/2021/06/04/catalytic/

What's your field?
It didn't choose to look for a calculator. LLMs that invoke tools were explicitly trained to do so. If tools are present, it will always attempt to first find a tool to satisfy the prompt.

So if tools are present, by training it will infer the intent to use the tool and not because it understands it is itself deficient in that ability.

So what we would expect to see with a LLM without tools enabled, is that it suggests that you give it access to a calculator.

If we develop real intelligence, it will be surprising. It won't just answer questions. It will tell us we are asking the wrong questions.
This is one thing that has always confounded me about conservatives. America is really number one in a lot of ways. The awful terrible bloated government they complain about has fostered the best university system in the world, the best companies in the world, massive wealth, an invincible military, a dominant position on the world stage, the world's reserve currency... and they want to throw a wrench in the machine that produced those results? Is #1 economy not good enough??

I am fairly certain that it does not. The JVM is a stack-machine.

I wrote a compiler for a simple programming language that compiled down to JVM bytecode for a project in the early 2010s. Its output for test programs was as fast as the comparative Java ones because they were fairly similar at the bytecode level.

The HotSpot JVM is where all the optimization effort is applied.
>By "without it being a package", I mean that I don't have `src/foo`, which has `src/foo/__main__.py`, but e.g. `src/main.py`.

This doesn't matter. What does matter, though, is that [project.scripts] doesn't support passing arguments - the entry point is only specified as path.to.module:function , which is expected not to take any arguments (although of course it can read `sys.argv`, which will be forwarded from the wrapper). (You can, however, specify any callable, not just a function; and it could be a nested attribute of some other object.)

Relevant documentation:

https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/guides/writing-pyproj...

As far as I'm aware, there's no formal name for this syntax, and only indirect documentation of what's supported - via Setuptools, which originated it:

https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/userguide/entry_point.h...

You could fix this by just making functions that hard-code the name (or e.g. use `functools.partial` to get what you want). With that properly set up, any standards-compliant build backend will put the needed metadata into your wheel, and Pip and uv will both read that metadata and create the necessary wrapper when installing. (This is "recommended" behaviour for installers in the wheel standard, but not required IIRC.)

Then for example, on Linux, you end up with a wrapper script in the environment's bin folder, which looks like:

#!/path/to/.venv/bin/python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import re
import sys
from main import run_botch_bot
if __name__ == '__main__':
sys.argv[0] = re.sub(r'(-script\.pyw|\.exe)?$', '', sys.argv[0])
sys.exit(run_botch_bot())

(On Windows, IIRC you get cookie-cutter compiled executables that read their own filename and use it to do the right thing, perhaps with a Python shim to do the import or something.)

(Perhaps you'd be interested in raising the documentation issue on https://github.com/pypa/packaging.python.org/issues ?)
I think they’re mostly referring to bypassing countrywide web filters.
> X is the first domain in my life that I legitimately believe needs to be blocked by remaining democratic nations.

Amazing that removing censorship causes you to have this reaction. That’s not really in line with democracy, because democracy requires free speech, and Twitter is the best platform for it.
> It lacks features like lambda calculus, closures, and coroutines—powerful and proven paradigms that are essential in modern programming languages. These limitations make it harder to fully embrace contemporary programming practices.

And what features exactly would you propose for a future CPU to have to support such language constructs? It's not like a CPU is necessarily built to "support C", since a lot of code these days is written in Java/JavaScript/Python/..., but as it turns out, roughly any sane CPU can be used as a target for a C compiler. Many extensions of current CPUs are not necessarily used by an average C compiler. Think of various audio/video/AI/vector/... extensions. Yet, all of them can be used from C code, as well as from any software designed to make use of it. If there is a useful CPU extension which benefits let's say the JVM or v8, you can be sure these VMs will use those extensions, regardless of whether or not they are useful for C.

> Intel tried to introduce hardware assisted garbage collection, which unfortunately failed miserably because C doesn't need it, and we are still having to cope with garbage collection entirely in software.

Meanwhile IBM did in fact successfully add hardware assisted GC for the JVM on their Z series mainframes. IBM can do that, since they are literally selling CPUs purely for Java workloads. With a "normal" general purpose CPU, such a "only useful for Java" GC extension would be completely useless if you plan to only run let's say JavaScript or PHP code on it. The problem with such extensions is that every language needs just so slightly different semantics for a GC and as a result it's an active research topic how to generalize this to make a general "GC assist" instruction for a CPU which is useful for many different language VMs. Right now such extensions are being prototyped for RISC-V, in case you missed it. IIRC for GC in particular, research was going in the direction of adding a generalized graph traversal extension since that's the one thing most language VMs can use somehow.

C is in no way "holding back" CPU designs, but being able to efficiently run C code on any CPU architecture which hopes to become relevant is certainly a requirement, since a lot of software today is (still) written in C (and C++), including the OS and browser you used to write your comment.

Just to be clear: this topic here is about tiny microcontrollers. The only relevant languages for such microcontrollers are C/C++/assembly. Nobody cares if it can do hardware assisted GC or if it can do closures/coroutines/... or something.
Indeed, you're a sucker if you ever did believe it really ever was about state rights.
Everyone wants to say it will get better based on what happened in 2000 and 2008. I was around both times.

In 2000, none of the ideas ended up being bad. They were just too early and internet wasn’t ubiquitous.

But even then, if you were working as a standard enterprise dev for a profitable business - banks, insurance, companies, etc, outside of Silicon Valley, jobs were plentiful. I was a Windows dev living in Atlanta with 4 years of experience and had no issue of getting offers.

Things improved when internet became ubiquitous both at home and in their pockets with smart phones and the App Store by 2012.

On the B2B side, there was the rise of SaaS.

There will be no next doubling of jobs to absorb all of the people looking. Every application gets literally 1000 applications within the first day of posting.

It’s going to take at least a decade for the supply/demand to balance out.

No Section 174 is not to blame either.
I mean, this is the kind of petty I want to be when I retire...
Yup saw this book on the subway. Appreciate this little page you've put together... totally see how some will hate the book and you're better off if they just know upfront what they're getting into. Think it should be a fun read for the HN/crypto crowd though, especially if you're into some econ/finance/market theory.

But that leads me to a question I've really wanted to ask... how much does it cost to put up an ad on the subway? (if you don't mind answering)
This is true, but around here a lot of those jobs are what one of my professional circles calls "adult supervision", and I feel 30 is a bit too young to be targeting those.
While I loved this week-long course, I was a bit disappointed that we offloaded all of the code generation to LLVM. I think it would be fantastic to stretch this into a two-week course and actually emit assembly.
Interesting point. It's almost a form of "design by verifiability" – prioritizing architectures that lend themselves to easier reasoning, even if other architectures might offer marginal performance gains.

Roche announces new SBX Xpandomer DNA sequencing technology
Illumina has held a virtual monopoly over high throughput sequencing over the past 15 years, basically cancelling what many expected to be a drastic decrease in the cost of DNA sequencing.

Now a company called Stratos (acquired by Roche in 2020), has developed a new sequencing technology that claims to be better, more accurate, and cheaper
I spent two weeks in Juarez a few years ago for my wife's visa stuff. The hotel was pretty cheap, the food was pretty cheap (and delicious!), but I was surprised to see that an Xbox was actually more expensive than it was in NYC.

It makes enough sense, Microsoft isn't a charity, they're selling the console at a fairly competitive price already in the US, it's not going going to magically get cheaper just because it crossed a border, but it was still surprising to see that.
Like half of software jobs are Doing Something so that management feels like they are innovative thought leaders of the tech community, while the other half of the software jobs are keeping the unsexy business critical software working.

Even if everything being done with LLMs is useless, if you can do the same amount of useless with half as many developers, it's bad news for us.
I'd also keep an eye on the Rubik Pi 3 as it looks specifically designed to compete with the Pi 5 + AI kit and should provide a faster, cheaper, more efficient option. They're only just starting to ship and no support in Frigate yet, so just something to consider if you're not in a hurry to build a system.

Triton sits between CUDA and PyTorch and is built to work smoothly within the PyTorch ecosystem. In CUDA, on the other hand, you can directly manipulate warp-level primitives and fine-tune memory prefetching to reduce latency in eg. attention algorithms, a level of control that Triton and PyTorch don't offer AFAIK.
I don't know why you're putting the 'Marxist hive mind' in charge, maybe some academics across the political spectrum instead?

The one year stints hurt a little, but have you thought about consulting? After 4 startups with one of my own fails in the middle, I was burnt out. I ended up getting a consulting / little bit of managed services gig at a large company. The consulting gig was on the tech one of the startups I was at 6 years prior... Large enterprises were starting to adopt. They sold my hours in 12 month contracts, all my clients renewed year over year until one just bought up all of my hours. They loved me and it was pretty much 20 hours a week of effort. I could have sat there for another 5 years easy without any discomfort, I assume.

I took a 4 year time out there and now I'm back at a startup. I think what I'm learning now is if I can survive a couple of years and pack my brain with a bunch of new shit I'll be able to get a very nice and chill consulting gig until I retire, if I want that. People want your beautiful and experienced brain and a lot of the shit you potentially have worked on or thought about is more relevant in the current and the future than in your past. A lot of the world is slow AF, you might be ahead.

I fear your opinion is one that most casual content consumers don't even realize is happening. They just want to consume content...

However, they also share the road with you, help decide what content/messaging gets spread, and vote with their dollar (and political vote), just like you.

While I agree with your opinion, although it may be their fault, it easily can spread to become everyone's problem.
Was this the same “foreign meddling” we were told was behind the Hunter Biden story? Sorry but all of this sounds like an attack on free speech. I do think data privacy matters, low censorship is necessary, and content neutral algorithms are important. But boogeyman claims of foreign meddling look like actual meddling themselves.
It's not greenwashing if it actually does those things?

Critical thinking is taught in schools though. People in the real world don't, by and large, fall for this shit. The very small fraction that do ends up being a rather large number in absolute terms when spread across the whole world though.

I think you missed a point. It might be harder to sell Americans on films shot in Mexico because the filming location will not pass as US. So they likely cannot move projects targeting US audiences to Mexico.

However, films targeting Latin + South America audiences might do really well if filmed in Mexico. So the expansion is probably mostly about catering to that market.

To be honest, I don't envy Netflix's position. They release a show, it's culturally relevant for 2-8 weeks, and then they have to release another show to keep the subscriptions active. Traditional television has weekly releases that maintained relevance longer. Movies generate much more revenue per hour on content in theaters, and have long term licensing revenue. Their P/E ratio is higher than other content companies that offer similar streaming services, so shareholders expect revenue growth but their developed world marketshare doesn't have room for growth. So now they are going after new audiences, but they are targeting markets where their subscription fees are way lower, and they'll be on the same hamster wheel of keeping audiences engaged.

Thanks for your thoughts!

BCU is why AMZN bought the IP, so I'm just leaning into the business reality. My argument is that the films are the center of gravity, and it's fine to put other BCU properties 'in orbit' around them without having to have everything reference everything else like they did (brilliantly) at Marvel.

The films are holy, but deserving of a reboot. My spec - which I genuinely can't post here – dips into deep Bond lore but, introduces us to this broad world of espionage in which these other properties could orbit.

It's not too too different than Star Wars or even DC (like with Gotham), but what's so cool about this world of espionage is that there's so much to tap into that is both grounded AND cool. A whole constellation of espionage stories just under our psychic reality, perhaps moreso than comic books or scifi.
The point, perhaps, is that you can't use reason to convince someone to be more reasonable. Humans are fundamentally emotional animals, and if you want to get them to start valuing reason, you have to use emotional arguments to do so, by definition.
The term "hallucinations" has always frustrated me. The marketing there makes sense, but an LLM that hallucinates is an LLM doing exactly what it was designed for -predicting what a human might say in response.

Facts don't really play a part there, if a response is factual its only a sign that the training set largely agreed on the facts (meaning the correlation of token sequence was high).
Ah yes, the neutral platform that literally censored the word cisgender based on the bigotry of the owner.
Moderation is different than censorship. But a smart person would have known that. Hacker News is moderated, didn’t you know? Guess we should swap it out for a cesspool as well by your logic.
