Yeah sounds more like a java issue to me. Clojure is usually beautifully terse and straight-to-business with very little boilerplate, and it usually runs on the jvm.

But still agree with the other commenter on the benefits of go. I’m not a huge fan of go, but it’s definitely encourages grug brain style (https://grugbrain.dev/) which has many benefits.

In fact, the only time I disagree with grug style is when I’m really close to the perfect generics for a TS function with lots of coupled inputs. Always so close…
> The technology is solved, and the materials needed to make it abundant. It's all about demand. If the demand is there, the industrial capacity will follow

It takes a lot of time for new battery technologies to scale and disrupt existing ones and entrenched players have an incentive to continue competing. Sodium ion, iron air etc might replace lithium ion on the 30 year time scale but lithium ion will continue to drive down costs and up its capacity to try to compete and it has significantly more revenue to fund this by being the only player in the market. So it’s not clear when alternative batteries will start to replace lithium ion, but at scale it’s unlikely to be a quick process. And please don’t pretend like it’s all a demand side problem. It takes time to build out new factories from manufacturing all the equipment needed to acquiring and training employees. There’s plenty of demand for cheap batteries and the ability to manufacture simply isn’t there either and it’s being brought online. Oh and that capacity being added? It’s all lithium ion and requires a long pay off for that investment. Lithium ion is going to be potential a significant ecological debt worse than fossil fuels if the ocean floor strip mining gets going.
This sounds like echoing the brainwashing and doublethink; the "elite" is in power at the moment and they are building an empire.
"As Musk as said"

Any statement by Elon Musk is worthless. It's actually worse than worthless in that it is often an intentional lie intending to muddy the waters if not just grossly mislead.

"the Treasury payments weren't labeled with any auditable information"

Do you really, truly believe this? I'm going to assume you don't and are having a laugh, because someone would have to be profoundly gullible to actually believe such a blatant lie by a self serving clown like Elon Musk.

Musk and crew are like the absolute worst garbage programmer that ten minutes into looking at a codebase tell you that it's terrible code and needs to be thrown away, but don't worry they're going to build something super way better. Their own incompetence and lack of understanding is projected out.

They are walking into immensely complex, massive systems -- doing things they have *zero* experience or credibility doing -- and looking at, for instance, the optional, largely meaningless "description" field on a payment and passing judgment. This is worthless analysis. It isn't an "audit", it's godzilla stomping.

The US is going to to take countless hundreds of billions and decades to recover from what these imbeciles are doing. Even more perplexing are the number of people who truly think they're doing good.
Also conda does not have a free licence, every organisation with more than 200 employes should pay for it (https://www.datacamp.com/blog/navigating-anaconda-licensing). uv is at date, Apache 2.0.
I was hoping for hard data, this seems like a lot of simply simulated assumptions instead.

Also, €100 is not "30% less" than €300, it's either just "30%" or "66% less" (~)
I do have experience of managing junior teams and I think Java is actually great for them. You only need one senior person to kick off the project and put down the rails - a relatively small effort if you use frameworks instead of bespoke solutions. The team just needs to follow the lead. It is extremely cost efficient and good enough for business in terms of quality/security/performance.

Exactly, there are experts in the field less than a decade a way who said 50+ years easily. And there we are.
Logging can be a valid handling of error.

I just don't believe that most errors can be handled locally so besides returning an error (bubbling up), not much can be done. Go makes this part of the happy path, so neither can be easily seen/reasoned about anymore.

Exceptions do auto bubbling up, while languages with ADTs have more strictness than go, and often have some syntactic sugar/macro to help with the common case of returning the error (rust's ?).

> a MSI Trident

This is diverging quite a bit from "a smart TV replacement". Especially if Steam is a requirement.

The gaming PC you have there is probably exactly the combination you want. But for most others it's the compromise to avoid I mentioned above. It delivers the console and TV/media center experience but with the full PC power consumption, noise, boot times, maintenance effort, and inconvenient controls.

The cheapest Trident I can find on eBay costs more (by 2-5x) than an Xbox and an Apple TV together. And these 2 deliver their respective experiences with far fewer compromises.

> They know how to browse the various streaming services

Knowing how to use it is just the bare minimum requirement. With an Apple TV for example you can do the same with almost instant startup time, 0 noise, 0 maintenance, ~1-2W streaming, and a small remote control. And probably has less ads than the average Windows computer :). I found the "right tool for the job" more appropriate for my use case but that might not work for everyone or all the time.
Do you think there exist any circumstances in which the NYT would say anything against the liberal narrative? Specifically, if there was incontrovertible evidence of government waste uncovered by DOGE, or anything else where there were facts and evidence but stating them would make the president look good, would NYT report it? Or would they ignore it? Or, just a theory here, maybe they would minimize it? You know, get the views from the story but apply a treatment to reduce values, like say, dollar values? Could they ever be capable of such a thing?
It is almost like language is a conduit for something, I wonder what though. I will have to think on it.
Also worth highlighting that The Upshot found this error on the first item they reviewed. If already the first one you check is wrong, then the Bayesian in me has a hard time having much confidence in the rest of it.

The JVM doesn't attempt to compile a method until a method has reached 10,000 executions. So it's extremely likely your code ran the entire time in interpreted mode. Even if a method did get flagged as hot, you've then got the time taken to do the actual compilation to native code to contend with.

If you're trying to write systems code and want to use the JVM, GraalVM can do full ahead-of-time compilation and will get you almost instant start up with all methods natively compiled.

The nominal annual rate for "city killer" sized asteroids hitting Earth is about 1%. Now we have better monitoring, so that 1% rate is getting more variable -- lower in some years, higher in others.
I wondering why HN had so few posts critical of Musk and Trump
He spends money lobbying the WHO to buy drugs from companies he's a major shareholder in. Then he pays journalists so they always write about him positively. He's brilliantly figured out how the world works.
> To some degree, so does the business

Sorry, but that part is wrong. The business gets rewarded for doing the same thing that was already working again and again and again.

Nobody goes out of their way to buy innovative things. It's even worse, customers tend to avoid new things until they had enough time to show themselves as "not new anymore" or "more of the same". There are incredibly few exceptions, and most of them are created artificially at the cost of a large publicity budget.
Having experienced the oligarch takeover in the post-Soviet Ukraine, looking at it from the inside is as surreal. People will be studying this collapse for centuries, and this is ONLY the beginning.
> Getting into a new MINI with Vescin for the first time it’s clear that Vescin is a step-up from what we’ve known as Leatherette. In the all the handful of new MINIs we’ve experienced it in the seats were softer to the touch than leatherette and felt much more supple. But how do they compare with leather? In short very well. Compared with the standard Chesterfield or Cross Punch leather seating, Vescin feels softer and more premium. Not surprising given that MINI’s standard leather is almost a veneer over other materials.

So the point of the article you're commenting about is that the pleather in these cars is better than the leather was (but the leather in MINIs wasn't great to begin with).

Personally I hate the feel and smell of leather (or pleather), especially wearing shorts on a hot day. As if yeah that's when I want to sit on a corpse's shell.
Manifesting the Invisible Hand requires a lot of prerequisites that are obviously untrue in the real world. Like that customers are able to do research and understand the findings.

I don't understand how libertarians look at the current state of things and conclude that fewer regulations would solve the problem.
Lol, no. Musk will say anything just to blame his own mistakes onto someone else. If Musk wanted to do audit, he should have do audit rather then what he is doing now.

Either way, "payments weren't labeled with any auditable information" is nonsense claim. It means nothing. Payments are auditable even if they have zero labels attached to them.
So is DI usually referring to automatic framework-wiring DI? Cause I constantly pass dependencies in as arguments and call it DI.
It wasn’t $8M either since some of the contracted amount has already been spent. They should have used $5.5M in the headline.
There are more oddities for sure. For example, when they cancel a multi-year contract they are considering the entire value of the contract as savings even if a significant chunk of the money has already been distributed.

> Trump told reporters at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida on Tuesday that sectoral tariffs on pharmaceuticals and semiconductor chips would also start at "25% or higher", rising substantially over the course of a year.

> He did not provide a date for announcing those duties and said he wanted to provide some time for drug and chip makers to set up U.S. factories so that they can avoid tariffs.
Yes, this is how it should have operated from the beginning. MCAS was flawed when the MAX was first put into operation. Personally, I feel that the MCAS system is "airworthy" now. But that is just MCAS...What is more concerning to me is the quality issues that Boeing has for all aspects of their aircraft. To be clear, this is not specific to the MAX, this is any aircraft that Boeing has pushed out their doors in the past 10 years or so. The foundation for Aviation Safety has a an excellent podcast that goes over the numerous quality issues Boeing has that still exist to this day. https://www.foundationforaviationsafety.org

Boeing used to be a great company that prioritized safety over everything else. (If it ain't Boeing, I ain't going) The "merger" with McDonnell Douglas was the end of that version of Boeing. IMHO, the Boeing 777 was the last great airplane Boeing built. That plane would not be made in the Boeing of today because the initial investment was so high.

The pro-DOGE comments generally tend to repeat Musk/Trump/DOGE allegations, without evidence in support of those allegations. Trump and Musk are serial fabulists.

On the other hand, you have the anti-DOGE folks who can credibly claim that, unless shown otherwise, the things being shredded by DOGE were apportioned legally by a co-equal branch of government, and that the president does notnhave the right to undermine a co-equal branch of government. In America, we do not have an all-powerful executive.
I'm aware this is only a very tangential comparison, but my LLM-based coding workflows around Cursor regularly involve me creating "empty" skeletons of files which I add to the context, as in: because I'm aware that it makes sense for an implementation to have a FooBarService and two entities Fizz and Buzz, I create these as empty files (with the "class FoobarService" line as it's only content), and this way, Cursor (or rather, Claude) doesn't get too creative and wild when deciding how and where to implement code.

This really increased the quality of results for me.

I have a few memories prior to being able to talk, they are visual memories that I confirmed with an older sibling (7 years older). He couldn't believe I could remember those things.

I also was thinking, perhaps all memories aren't visual or auditory, and I then I read your post. It's quite possible we all have memories of that time in our lives, but they are emotional in composition rather than comprised of physical senses.

Is the ability to recall something specifically a 'memory,' or could emotional feelings with seemingly no connection to the present also be considered memory? Like a lifetime of emotional deja vu.

When you recall something stressful, and you feel stress in the present, is that stress you are experiencing from the present as your brain processes a stressful scenario in your mind, or is that stress part of the memory, and your brain is re-experiencing that stress in the same way you can visualize a memory?
I draw the line at 5 personally. 4 if I'm being picky.

Anecdotally, I have a similar experience in my NAS/Server.

Unlikely Backblaze, I don't write much to my drives, they mostly get some writes of relatively small backups once or twice a day and that's it. I keep all of my VM boot drives on NVMe SSDs.

I've only had one, very early SSD (SATA, OCZ branded) fail on me since the beginning, and I run significantly more SSDs than I do HDDs, in my desktop, laptops, servers etc.

In the NAS/Server (It's a high-spec Proxmox server doubling as a NAS) I have had a bunch of HDD failures, WDReds (CMR) and Seagate IronWolf drives, typically around 4-5 year mark.

For use cases like mine, where they spend most of their time idling, I think SSDs are a clear winner, HDDs are wearing out just by idling.

My next failure I'll be replacing the mirror that fails with SSDs.
>capitalism/free markets have serious limits to what they can achieve

They can't code and they cant count. This DOGE endeavor is an embarassment.
He is a white guy raised under apartheid who's throwing nazi salutes, overtly referencing nazi ideology and symbology, hiring white supremacist staff to work for him, promoting white supremacist content on a platform that he bought for that explicit purpose, and attending rallies in foreign countries to promote far-right ideology.

There's no room for reasonable discussion with anyone who can look at that and come to the conclusion that they're being "framed" as nazis. To be clear, I don't believe all of their voters are nazis, just those who decide to stick with the party in light of the overwhelming evidence.
If your question is whether the “independent” agencies are Constitutional, the answer is yes. Congress makes the laws and the laws can constrain the behavior of the President. If the law says the President cannot fire someone, or interfere in an agency’s work, then the President cannot.

So who are such agencies accountable to? Congress. Just like the president is accountable to Congress.
Thats the same issue, yes.

Where is the outrage from the one group that can actually do anything about this: Republican members of congress and Republican senators?

There's already been a handful of impeachment-level events, such as the blatant quid pro quo of the Adams corruption charges dismissal which resulted in a series of DoJ resignations reminiscent of the Saturday Night Massacre. You know, a critical event that shifted public and Republican opinion of Nixon, leading to his resignation under the threat of impeachment.

Democratic congresspeople and senators can't do much without at least some of their Republican colleagues standing up to the bullies currently running the party.

And no, Susan Collins' inevitable but ineffectual "concerns" isn't the kind of outrage I mean.

I am not sure how 3D the videos in the article are. IMO they are 3D in a pixar/animated sort of way.

But I have very recent first hand experience of creating a video for our startup's Facebook post with Minimax image-to-video inference, from an image of our animated avatar character.

...And yes, first the videos were bad quality with lots of inconsistencies, but after adding "animated" to the prompt, in front of the "man" word, the result was pretty great already on the first try! Which I then ended up even using. (you can even check it here if interested https://fb.watch/xRC-fptexM/)

Perhaps it should be self-evident, but still, it was not to me. :)

Edit. I guess my point was also that the animated character in the video ended up being somewhat 3D as well.
It could be that the price of used cars goes down due to oversupply, but the price of used EV's relative to the price of used ICE vehicles goes up.

I'm fairly confident the price of used cars is going to go down. Who's going to buy a 5 year old Camry for $20k if the price of a brand new equivalent EV is $20K?
Why not both?

The trouble now it is that Spring Boot allows getting things up and running without having to know anything about what is underneath.

That is great, until you have to change the way it behaves.
Yes, to clarify, I do believe that.

The "elites"? Good god.

The richest man in the world stomped on USAID, a program that helps the poorest people on the planet, with it taking billions in payments from US farmers. Enormous numbers of low-level government civil servants were unceremoniously turfed from their job, many new grads who had just moved for said job. Researchers are having funding yanked. You know, like the people who cure disease.

The elites are the people absolutely unharmed. In fact they're the ones who bankrolled and fooled tens of millions of Americans into voting for this oligarchy.
