You give a compelling argument. If the same strategy was being executed by someone else, I'd even consider giving it a thought.

This is the problem with your argument and all others like it.

Like the parent comment states in this thread, there is a truly mind boggling level of nuance and complexity that goes on in almost every single discrete field. The nuances that make you succeed in one field may not (are probably not!) the same as another field.

We can even see this within a field: Being a good engineering manager does not make you a good engineer, or vice versa. So why should we think either of these disciplines can be extended into geopolitics, finance, or anything else?
A sledgehammer doesn't need to be able to turn a screw. Perhaps states might take advantage of this, but the incompetency of toadies at technology won't impact their competency at wreaking destruction.

You’d perhaps be better off using U+2002 EN SPACE (or the canonically equivalent U+2000 EN QUAD).

From what I recall, the size of a typical interword space is ⅓ of an em, and traditionally a bit more than this is inserted between sentences (but less than ⅔ of an em). The period itself introduces a fair amount of negative space, and only a skosh more is needed if any.
I get what you're getting at, but that's not actually what I'm advocating for here.

I'm pointing out that multiple times a day a political post gets bounced off the front page, and it's frustrating that the conversations are being quashed. I'd just like to be able to talk about the stuff we know people want to talk about (upvotes are the simplest metric we have for this). And there's a very simple binary filter we can apply that costs very little overhead in terms of UX and engineering.

If I wanted to go somewhere else I would. I'm suggesting how we make this site better for users, or at least a sizable amount of them. And it would make almost no difference to the users who'd like to just ignore it. You can even have it off by default so only logged in members are able to see political posts and even then only opt-in.

I have zero expectation of this ever happening.

Show HN: Orchestrating GPUs in data centers and private clouds
> for the government to have access to government data

It is very much under dispute whether or not the data has been used/shared in a legal manner.

Imagine a new CEO arrives at <b2b platform tech company> and has stated their top goal is to cut costs and improve efficiency.

Then imagine this CEO brings in outside technical people and instructs the existing security team to grant full access to all customer data. They plan to analyze this data to assess how customer’s use of the platform impacts operating costs.

This would be insanely inappropriate and would likely breach customer contracts and break privacy laws. It is of little comfort that the “breach” is wholly “inside” the company.

In almost every large organization, there are numerous internal boundaries that large amounts of data should never cross for any reason. Framing this as “the government having access to government data” is problematic, for the same reason a tech company allowing unfettered access to customer data for some analysis project could not be described in good faith as “the company having access to company data”.

Exactly who it is within the organization that has access to the data and how that access aligns with existing laws/policies is extremely important.
in this specific application
You know, the complaint is that R4L would add undue load to existing maintainers (at least that's about the only coherent technical thing I've gathered from Christoph's emails). What also adds undue load to existing maintainers is causing their peers to quit. Hector Martin is a talented individual and the loss of him will surely be felt.

Consider that truly believing this instead of considering that some people have well-reasoned concerns, might make you closed to divergent ideas. And that is, of course, what you're accusing progressives of being here.
Clarity was apparently provided privately. However, I have to say that a public statement would have been better. I can only imagine how demoralizing it is for the R4L contributors to watch their work being trashed in public and the leadership is only privately willing to give reassurances. Not to mention bad for recruitment.
This is exactly the position Christoph Hellwig took in the original email chain that kicked off the current round of drama: https://lore.kernel.org/rust-for-linux/20250131075751.GA1672.... I think it's fair to say that this position is getting plenty of attention.

FWIW Fuchsia has a not-quite-a-microkernel and has been building a Linux binary compatibility layer: https://fuchsia.dev/fuchsia-src/concepts/starnix?hl=en.

(disclaimer: I work on Fuchsia, on Starnix specifically)

EDIT: for extra HN karma and related to the topic of the posted email thread, Starnix (Fuchsia's Linux compat layer) is written in Rust. It does run on top of a kernel written in C++ but Zircon is much smaller than Linux.
I do not understand how this is supposed to work in practice. If there are "Rust bindings" then the kernel cannot have a freely evolving internal ABI, and the project is doomed to effectively split into the "C" core side and the "Rust" side which is more client oriented. Maybe it will be a net win for Linux for finally stabilizing the internal APIs, and even open the door to other languages and out-of-tree modules. On the other hand, if there are no "Rust bindings" then Rust brings very little to the table.

Is doge actually doing this in a meaningful way? What is the website? Thus far I'm only aware of them celebrating partisan victories like chopping funding for trans theater etc.
In an ideal world yes, but in order for LLM authors to provide the evals they need to access the private set (and promise not to train on them or use that to influence eval/training methods).

Either the eval maintainers need to be given the closed source models (which will likely never happen) or the model authors need to be given the private evals to run themselves.

Ironically tempering states is an important function of the federal government (eg civil rights, environmental protections, etc).

If the federal government is used to force states to make things worse, that is something to resist very strongly.

> This would normally result in just being another forgotten also-ran like the Timex Sinclair 2068 (a ZX Spectrum variant for the US that was basically incompatible with all ZX Spectrum software

As proud owner of one, this isn't exactly right.

Turns out one of their factories was in Portugal, so until the 128 K models took off, many Portuguese homes had a Timex instead of the real ZX Spectrum.

And while it was incompatible in default mode, it had an eprom bay that extended its capabilities in various ways, including a being copy of Spectrum 48.

A cartridge that most folks owned as well.

In its incompatible mode, it had a great sound chip, for its time.

The factory was so relevant for Timex culture in Portugal during the 1980's, that there is even a museum.

It gets celebrated, not forgotten.
It's only relevant to the current debate in the sense that that event was the trigger for Wedson (the first and OG R4L project contributor) to quit, which was only a few months ago, so it's a fresh wound marinating in the background while essentially the same drama unfolds all over again.
True, to a degree but I think this reflects different levels of responsibility and experience as you grow in your career.

Coding is the primary part of the job particularly when you're a graduate, to solve problems using code and you need the skills to be able to code and solve basic problems using code. If you don't know how to code then you will struggle.

As you build that experience and grow in your career you begin to learn and have to capacity to think bigger and start to incorporating aspects of time, money, process and other business factors that you don't really have the ability to do if you haven't spent time in the arena.

I work with a lot of graduates in cyber security and many of them have very "technical thinking" but don't think about business tradeoffs of time and money when looking at security controls. That is primarily because they're still trying to harness their technical skills, which is what they will do early in their career.

Musk will honestly probably be fine. These kids will get hammered, as they should, at the very least with a decade+ of litigation and possibly prosecution.

You can rewrite a lot of stuff in Rust and offer C bindings to it.

Maybe you're right, but we'll never know. It would be great if they allowed some sections to develop so we can test it out. To me it is a desirable location because of the companies, not the lifestyle.

There's a difference between urban jungle and (say) nice 5 story European city buildings.

I don't understand why rust bindings imply a freezing (or chilling) of the ABI—surely rust is bound by roughly the same constraints C is, being fully ABI-compatible in terms of consuming and being consumed. Is this commentary on how Rust is essentially, inherently more committed to backwards compatibility, or is this commentary on the fact that two languages will necessarily bring constraints that retard the ability to make breaking changes?
The owner is the problem. The only option is to leave (edit: just as you would any other controlling abuser).
I've seen about a dozen of these "GOTCHA!" posts in the past few days, ranging from COBOL epochs to SQL types and queries to FoxPro internals to "it's all on paper in a cavern". People are desperate to have something shiny to show off to their friends and in most cases, they're really not concerned if it's true or not, just that it's plausible enough to gain social cred. In the end, it accomplishes nothing when it comes to the actual functioning of DOGE but I'm sure there are lots of up votes gained.
This still doesn't get at the point, with this example you've effectively constructed a prompt along the lines of: "Note: A calculator is available upon request wink, here's how you'd use it: ... Now, what's the eighth root of 4819387574?"

Of course the model will use the calculator you've explicitly informed it of. The article is meant to be a critique of claims that LLMs are "intelligent," when, despite knowing their math limitations, don't generally answer "You'd be better off punching this into a calculator" when asked a problem
Let's define "zeta" as a mathematical function ζ(s) which takes a statement "s" as input, where s is a statement of a breakthrough in LLM capabilities achieved relative to the current date and time and ζ(s) is the probability that a given AI skeptic will honestly recognize "s" as a breakthrough,

then our Riemann-Goalpost hypothesis is that ζ has zeros for every "s" which is a negative integer (every breakthrough that happened in the past is null in value) and only has positive values where s is positive.

We can conclude from the above that given a far enough date in the future, any given breakthrough can be spectacular, but once achieved, will be derided as trivial.
It doesn’t work because I wasn’t making shit up, and the commenter above made no statement of fact. Troll.

> I do not understand how this is supposed to work in practice. If there are "Rust bindings" then the kernel cannot have a freely evolving internal ABI...

Perhaps I misunderstand your argument, but it sounds like: "Why have interfaces at all?"

The Rust bindings aren't guaranteed to be stable, just as the internal APIs aren't guaranteed to be stable.
You're right, and there were definitely situations where we could have done things better, but didn't, because the impetus wasn't there. It was really frustrating, and I wish I'd been able to get out sooner.

> -2000 lines

Not sure what this is a reference to, but one of the fun things I tripped over while there was that code changes were valued on dollars per LOC. Changesets with net negative LOC were... problematic. I think I once had a change that was near -2000 LOC net.

The data has to go across PCI / USB to get to the internal (tiny) SRAM. It's not a good choice for clustering, you should just use a GPU for that.

Musk isn't sending his best and brightest to the frontline. The DOGE bros are legal cannon fodder. The mission must be to stop them first--it's why we spread the power to issue arrest warrants across the feds, states and even municipalities.
Yea, such an odd coincidence! I wonder how many parts of the government they'll declare as "inefficient" and "wasteful" where there's a corporate donor just licking their chops, waiting to swoop in and profit from the same work. That'll be such a goofy coincidence, too.

My read of this post is it's just this guy's word vs doge's. Doge says they allow nulls for TAS, author says they don't. I'm pretty sure in the author's example, though, the payment _could_ be created with a NULL vendor, as I'm pretty sure NULLABLE is default for int in PostgresSQL. Depending on the scenario, this may be "bad" or it may be intentional. What would really matter is "does the system actually transfer funds or cut checks without a TAS". In ERPs I work with, a payment without a vendor is allowed in a draft state, but to get an actual check, you need a vendor.

The foundation produces things like the spec and the e2ee libs. The last time the foundation produced a client was in 2015, and servers in 2023 - in both instances the wider community builds the implementations, just as W3C doesn’t make web browsers any more.
