Well, on first glance it's not so bad - you may just have to put up with someone who doesn't really care about the job. It's why some systems are adversarial.

But sometimes, some people learn what they can 'get away' with, and they become difficult to work with (as a coworker) and difficult to manage.

Do you love the idea of someone just under the legal limit assembling your plane or automobile? Or someone who just doesn't care?

Of course sometimes "doesn't care" is just a reflection of poor management, and thus we have unions.

I don't think it's a problem that can be resolved for all time in one direction or the other, it's a tension in the system.

But! My larger point is that it's hard for a pro union person to even say "It's a tension in the system". What you are supposed to say is "Solidarity Forever" and "screw the bosses" or words to that effect.
Writing is an excellent way to determine your opinions. There's a large gap between ideas and those formed when writing said ideas.

I thought reflink is provided by the underlying FS, and Hyperspace is a dedup tool that finds the duplicates.

I already use AI for my job. If you don't start learning how to integrate it and make your job easier, you will eventually be left behind.
Then split it. All pure functions are easily decomposed into the most primitive units so even the most dogmatic ass hole can't talk shit.

createSpecialString = createFormattedString . createNewString

createFormattedString =
Capitalizefirstletter .
MakealllowerCase .
AddNumberSuffix .

createNewString(y) =
removeLetterA .
removeLetterB .
ConcatwithWord(x)

Or put it all on one line.

createspecialString(y) = Capitalizefirstletter . MakealllowerCase . AddNumberSuffix . removeLetterA . removeLetterB . ConcatwithWord(x)

The amount of lines becomes off topic once you get into this style. It's a completely orthoganol concept as it's completely irrelevant to readability and modularity.

Lines doesn't makes sense for pure non imperative functions. Lines ONLY make sense for imperative functions because each line represents an instruction.
I've had outdoor cats -- at one point two brothers.

One was a complete terror for birds. He'd go after them all, including hummingbirds. Left bits everywhere. Then we lost him due to something bigger and sharper.

The other one couldn't be arsed to hunt anything, until we moved a couple miles into the country and the house had rodents (due to the previous owner feeding birds). Over the course of the first year, he got 25 and I got 2 with traps. Never saw any evidence of dead birds.

So, it varies. By the cat.
picture this: corporate buys something (like O365), and is reluctant to end licensing for the bundle. So... if they're locked into a contract that includes management-abuse-as-a-service, enabling bad behaviors, do you think they'll back out of enabling that one abusive manager out of five? how will that impact the workforce?
Absolutely incorrect. Musk holds power because he spent $290m on the election boosting the winning candidate.
Love all the folks on here asserting that there’s no market for craft supplies. The market for yarn specifically is actually so large that it supports a huge number of local yarn shops in addition to multiple big box chains. Everywhere I travel, I find more than one local yarn shop, somehow thriving in spite of Joann and its ilk charging considerably less for what you might think was a similar product. (In reality, the yarn sold at local yarn shops is much higher quality.)
I think the most important part is the bitrate. As you said elsewhere: "time is money". Seems like you're not saving that much money

Well, to be fair, you could use it for that too?
I deeply respect your work here on HN (and I semi-frequently email you so you know I do), but I disagree here. I don’t have to go back 12 years, I think YC funded its fair share of crypto scams like other VCs (of course what’s considered a crypto scam is different for everyone so no point in arguing), but I picked a very well known example that most old users probably know. I should probably mention I commented on a Launch HN thread this month that’s clearly illegal by design: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42886294.

I don’t have much against VCs investing in whatever makes money, to be honest, given how immoral the top dogs of this industry are to begin with, and I can’t claim I haven’t worked in an at least somewhat immoral company.

Edit: I only saw the second paragraph after a refresh. Sure, what I wrote about “back anything that makes money” was inaccurate so I should retract that, but I stand by the “no moral high ground” point.
I bet he means Orban and Putin.
One thing about this history is that it kind of light on the development of CAM, Computer Aided Manufacturing, which was co-developed along with CAD, and in some cases was actually a predecessor to CAD.

I recommend "A Possible First Use of CAM/CAD" by Norman Sanders as a short history of CAM in the 1950s/1960s.

Yes! The search and replace capabilities were amazing. Haven't had the need to do that in a long time.
> Better tell Michaels and Hobby Lobby then, because I don't think they got your memo.

Michael's is owned by Apollo Group.

Hobby Lobby is family owned, but unlike Joann's and Michael's they wouldn't take long term leases or purchase the stores themselves, and concentrate on higher margin furniture.

> The PE did the usual LBO shit of borrowing a the purchase money and then transferring the debt to the company

Yep, but who else was interested in investing in Joann's in the 2010s? There were way better asset classes like Pharma, Finance, and Tech that you could invest in and get better returns.

LBOs are basically investors of last resort - this is where zombie companies (which Joann's absolutely was) go to die.

> I'll miss them because touching fabric is important

And we're lucky that local hobbyist shops still exist along with local fabrics shops. They can provide a better customer experience than a big box like Joann's, Michael's, or Hobby Lobby with decent margins.
How is it a counter example?

Things you won't end up using lack any "why" beyond "just in case". The only way you avoid using personal finance skills is if you partner up and completely offload that responsibility onto someone else. Fine, in that case, don't bother learning it!
Thank you for the detailed explanation. Pure control of Explorer through COM also seems interesting. I'm still in the process of understanding WinFsp, so I can't get to that yet, but it's a challenge I want to tackle in the future.
Some cats are certainly more food motivated than others. One of my cats will get up 24/7 if I shake the treat container and will run to me from anywhere in the house. My other cat will only come for treats if he isn't feeling sleepy or lazy.
Yes. Hyperspace is finding the identical files and then replacing all but one copy with a reflink copy using the filesystem's reflink functionality.

When you asked about the filesystem, I assumed you were asking about which filesystem feature was being used, since hyperspace itself is not provided by the filesystem.

Someone else mentioned[0] fclones, which can do this task of finding and replacing duplicates with reflinks on more than just macOS, if you were looking for a userspace tool.

You point out that they're not responding to what you actually said. You do it without saying that they have mental illnesses.

You even might say "this seems like trolling; I didn't say X at all..."

And, if it's clearly trolling, you flag it.

And you leave it there.

See, the conversation isn't just you and them. The conversation is you and them and all of us reading it. And if you go more over the top, more ad hominem than they do, then the rest of us reading it see you as the unhinged one.

Don't try to win the conversation with people who are in bad faith. You can't. (Don't even try to out-insult them. You aren't going to get them to go "Oh, hey, he used a better insult than me. Maybe he's right...") Instead, try to win the readers. You can't do that by being more insulting than the one you're arguing with.
Ha!

I just saw this win an AI Hackaton in Toronto but they said it was their own thing, quite dishonest. Everyone was rightfully impressed, me as well not gonna lie. I was a bit sus someone could come up with something like this in a weekend, but they were from U of Waterloo, Vector Institute and whatnot, so I said "maybe". Now I know they were just a bunch of scammers, sad.

Anyway, this is a great project, congratulations. It's so good it's making other people win already, lol. I have so many use cases for this. I truly wish you the best!

Edit: Downvote me all you want, if you love scammers so much I can send you their contact so you can "invest" in their trash. Lol.
Just an anecdote, but Moby Dick actually is one of the favorite books of most people I know who read it
The debt was a symptom of a bad management team. The first bankruptcy could have been survivable if they had not taken such a hard line against layoffs. They wanted so much to keep all of their stores and employees, which is a lovely goal but was unfeasible.

Had they cut underperforming stores and reduced headcount, they could have survived.

I know first hand how awful it is to lay people off due to your own mistakes, but I also remember my investors advising me to get to sustainable in one round.
It seemed kinda buggy as well with latencies
My non working breed 30lbs dog will not care about food. He just looks at the bowl in complete disgust every time I give him food. It was extremely hard to train him because of that. I then I realized he’s praise motivated. Now I give him hugs and cuddles for good behavior and that’s how he gets trained.
From here on:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1910805#c30
Someone can likely give you a more technical explanation - but to give an anecdotal example, my parents have German Shepherds which are grazers. They put a few cups of food in their bowl in the morning, and the dogs will eat throughout the day as they're hungry. They like treats, sure, but I wouldn't call them food motivated.
My dogs are lab mixes, and if food is out they'll sniff it out and immediately scarf it down. When one was younger, if we left food on the counter or table while he was home alone, he would jump onto the counter and eat it. I would call my dog very food motivated.
Well let's see, without PE they wouldn't have been loaded with absurd debt. So... Yeah, this bankruptcy is absolutely fair to blame pe on.
Reminds me of Google's old motto, "Organizing the World's information" (is it still?). Even at their best, Google was never really "organizing" as much as "making it searchable". e.g. YouTube - for a given band, why can't I browse a list of their past concerts (with dates and locations) and see all videos from each?
Why was the other post flagged?

Yes, malware does exist in app stores. I don't really see how that's related to Free Software though?

When I say user-hostile features I'm not talking about malware. Yes, I suppose theoretically you could fork a Free Software malware app and make it not-malware, but that's not what I'm talking about here. I'm talking about things like Samsung putting ads on your TV home screen[1], or BMW charging a monthly subscription to access your car's seat heaters[2], or Sweden trying to install a backdoor in Signal. With Free Software, users get the final say on whether those features are installed on their devices or not.

DigiKey for electronic parts. Get whatever quantity you want. Amazon is rotten for this kind of thing, practically no search or browse capability.
But there is here, so its a flawed analogy.
On this point I’m convinced that bears are well on the way to domestication.

National parks have a name for the ones starting to show domesticated behaviours - ‘problem bears’. Bears that go out of their way to interact with humans. I feel that’s a case study for domestication right there.

> My point is these things existed and did have actual power. They had sway in private organizations

This is called the marketplace of ideas

Sometimes the marketplace lets stupid things get some sway, and it is up to the marketplace (not the state) to push those aside

> A lot of people like to pretend like this came from nowhere, in reaction to nothing, and that's simply not true

No, I think people are "pretending" like the use of state power is not an appropriate reaction to "overstepping" within the marketplace of ideas, which of course is true. The vast majority of left-leaning people find the blue hairs goofy at best, which is exactly why they do not hold political power. I don't think anyone on the left is "surprised" by what's going on right now, FWIW.
Shoutout to iced, my favorite GUI toolkit, which isn't even in 1.0 yet but can do that with ease and faster than anything I've ever seen: https://github.com/iced-rs/iced

You're still being too black and white here.

I live in a mostly red/republican state. I don't know anyone who had actually read Project 2025 or could tell me what's in it. For sure it shows the intentions of those who wrote it, but you are generalizing far too much by saying it makes clear the motivations of a broader conservative movement.

> Similarly though, I rarely heard the other side of the aisle acknowledging whether the other path was intentionally leading to Marxism - a similar number of parallels existed there as well and in either case the outcome is authoritarianism and massive federal powers.

This is an exact quote from my earlier comment so we aren't out of context here. I did not use the words "democrats are Marxists." I do raise the potential that some Democratic policies lead towards a Marxist end, but in no way does that say they are Marxist or prescribe an opinion of the entire party or voting block.

What euphemisms are you claiming I made earlier? Some context there would help, I was trying to give clear examples and make direct statements but maybe I didn't do that well

> No one on the right has any business to use the word meritocracy.

Well I'm not on the right or claiming what the right (or Republicans if that's what you mean) can or can't say. I agree that at a minimum the Republican platform right now is pretty contradictory with regards to merit and that's a problem. That again wasn't my point though - I was making the claim that some Democratic voters and politicians support are opposed to meritocracy and that view aligns with Marxist writings. Are you disagreeing with me there, or just wanting to deflect to what the Republicans are doing?
You're focused on the money while ignoring the actual motivating legislation of the original Foreign Assistance Act of 1961. From a quick scan:

> Under the policy guidance of the Secretary of State, the agency primarily responsible for administering this part should have the responsibility for coordinating all United States development-related activities

"Guidance". Not direct command. The primary criteria of the agency is to carry out what Congress directed by making the Act. If I'm following your argument in this thread, you mean to say that doing so requires execution, is thus executive power, thus putting it under the full command of the President.

> SEC. 104A. ø22 U.S.C. 2151b–2¿ ASSISTANCE TO COMBAT HIV/AIDS.

DEI is a bit of a straw man, but there is an entire section on HIV/AIDS! That's a goal spelled out by Congress, which is meant to be executed independent from the desires of a would be president-king. Obviously the executive has leeway in how to interpret the grey areas ("guidance"), but the wholesale disruption/pausing/scrapping is illegal.

It's truly a travesty because the Republicans control both houses of Congress! They could easily pass legislation suspending USAID, and/or legislation for widespread audits of agencies culminating in DOGE. But they haven't.
It's clear there's a large fragment of AI founder types that totally had nobody tell them and I hope they faceplant, hard.

The cost is because of the fact people won't use it regularly. The developer is offering life time unlocks, lower cost levels for shorter timeframes etc.

This is a huge bummer. A few years ago Joann's seemed like it was doing well. The internet offers a vastly inferior experience if you need to do things like try out fabrics. Either people are crafting less or they are putting up with inferior materials.

One of the big takeaways people need to understand is that inventory costs are eating these businesses alive. To keep a hundred different types of fabric available in hundreds of different stores to sell by the inch is expensive, as is the floor space to do it. On a cost basis you are never going to compete with an online store with one inventory, or a warehouse stores that move products in quantity and don't maintain inventory.
Regarding RadioShack, there are a wide number of non-amazon alternatives if you are willing to move away from prime.

I find that professional websites like McMaster, Grainger, and Digikey do everything I've wanted amazon to do for years. They have excellent search, organized part catalogs, spec sheets, CAD, and no counterfeits.

I checked and Digikey sells most individual resistors singles for $0.10ea, and $0.004ea for 5,000 ($20).

> Why is that? I still see stores for board games and the likelihood of making a profit from a board game is abysmal. Blick Art seems to be doing well enough. Even Barnes and Nobles had a turnaround

I mean big box retailers.

A major aspect for big box retailers is real estate. Joann's, Michaels, Toys-R-Us, etc would often take either long term leases or outright own the property of the store itself.

A smaller/local business targeting hobbyists can concentrate primarily on customer experience and inventory, because they generally do not try to enter the asset speculation game as well.
The developer does need to make up for the $100 yearly privilege of publishing the app to the App Store.

DeepSeek is definitely not real OSS. To be open source, you need to use a real open source license (like the ones OSI lists), and you need to share all pre and post training code, any code related to tuning, any evaluation code, everything related to safety/censorship/etc, and probably the full training data as well. Otherwise you can't reproduce their weights. Sharing weights is like sharing a compiled program.

As far as I know the only true open source model that is competitive is the OLMo 2 model from AI2:

https://allenai.org/blog/olmo2

They even released an app recently, which is also open source, that does on-device inference:

https://allenai.org/blog/olmoe-app

They also have this other model called Tülu 3, which outperforms DeepSeek V3:

Possibly, I'm not sure if there is precedent for charging a company for taking valid legal actions, only vexatious in contract law. Probably depends on the legal jurisdiction and courts.
All competitive open models today share a common property; someone spent a large amount of money to train them and then released the model for free.

I don't understand why the argument continues to be we will have a rich ecosystem of base open source models; unlike opensource ai which is individuals donating time, opensource ai requires someone to donate very large amounts of capital.

I wrote a similar (but simpler) script which would replace a file by a hardlink if it has the same content.

My main motivation was for the packages of Python virtual envs, where I often have similar packages installed, and even if versions are different, many files would still match. Some of the packages are quite huge, e.g. Numpy, PyTorch, TensorFlow, etc. I got quite some disk space savings from this.

You seem to be getting personally offended by someone suggesting an established crafts store doesn't need to be positioned as a financial asset – you might be projecting a bit with the "holier than though" comment.

On a second thought, this may be more in the direction of linear types.
When we first got one of our dogs off the street, she was incredibly food motivated. She would hop the fence and roam and bring back cabbages, avocados, cauliflower, chips, and anything else she could find to snack on. Those are just examples we witnessed. But she always came back before we got home from work.

Now, 7 years later, she's picky. She'll spit out some food I give her if it isn't appealing enough. She can still obviously be motivated with food and treats, but it's far less unconditional.
