I am not sure I believe the numbers shown here. More jobs offered in Rust than C++? I would not think so.

I think that many of the hits on 'rust' in the job postings are actually 'trust':
```

>>> import requests

>>> page_id = 42919502 # Feb 2025

>>> url = f"https://hn.algolia.com/api/v1/items/{page_id}"

>>> resp = requests.get(url, headers={'Accept': 'application/json'})

>>> data = resp.json()

>>> sum('rust' in child['text'].lower() for child in data['children'])

42

>>> sum('trust' in child['text'].lower() for child in data['children'])

13

```

Check out the gist here: https://gist.github.com/hughdbrown/f41f5f3c072067c2351460d8d...

It shows that 30-40% of 'rust' is really 'trust':
```

-------------------- 2025-02-01: rust = 42 trust = 13

-------------------- 2025-01-01: rust = 28 trust = 10

-------------------- 2024-12-01: rust = 32 trust = 14

-------------------- 2024-11-01: rust = 28 trust = 8

-------------------- 2024-10-01: rust = 36 trust = 12

-------------------- 2024-09-01: rust = 32 trust = 9

-------------------- 2024-08-01: rust = 36 trust = 10

-------------------- 2024-07-01: rust = 33 trust = 11

-------------------- 2024-06-01: rust = 36 trust = 15

-------------------- 2024-05-01: rust = 42 trust = 14

-------------------- 2024-04-01: rust = 30 trust = 12

-------------------- 2024-03-01: rust = 32 trust = 12

-------------------- 2024-02-01: rust = 25 trust = 10

-------------------- 2024-01-01: rust = 22 trust = 8

Hey that's my little research project- lmk if you're interested in chatting about this stuff.

As others have mentioned in other threads, parquet isn't a great tool for the job here, but you could theoretically build a different file format that lends itself better to the problem of static file(s) representing a vector database.
While I think the economy was good, I think it could have been even better with a little deficit spending under Clinton.

What we call "national debt" is just additional money supply. Instead of dollars they are bonds, that let us retroactively control the amount of them by merely changing interests rates at the Fed. Which is why they are superior to printing a ton of dollars and spending them directly.

When the world needs additional money supply, and they preferentially choose to use money denominated in dollars, that means that our economy wins out. If we are not deficit spending then we are likely leaving economic gains on the table.
Family is an interesting one, given five kids across three marriages, so the 'thought' is admirable and honourable, but he's unable to live up to it - which kind of educates us as to his ability to live up to his word, or his ability to deal with difficult situations calmly and rationally.

And having Musk alongside him entirely destroys the family angle (media-prop children aside).
#1 reasonably high? We turn down plenty of Stanford grads. What's their GitHub like?

#2 degree basically never comes up, except if someone is saying they had an atypical degree path. And institution? Never, unless it's a part of someone's identity and they are a big "I am a college team guy"
I switched to fullhost about 2 years and I have nothing but good things to say about them.

I was previously on site5 which got bought out. I wanted to use letsencrypt which they said they support but in practice do everything in their power to prevent you from doing so. The customer service essentially gaslight you and try to get you to pay 300$ a year on top of what I was already paying to use their provider.

I gave fullhost my credentials and they moved everything over including all my hacky one-off database deployments and projects.

Another time my email started getting rejected by Gmail for reasons of not having tkip and something else I forget the name of. From the time I filed a ticket to the time it was fixed was probably an hour.

Fullhost is also cheaper than site5.
That has almost nothing to do with what I said.

But to address your new points, I think very broad collection is fine as long as people don't treat the raw entry count as a particularly useful number.
“The debt is increasing at a slower rate” isn’t really enough when interest rates are non zero. As the US has to keep rolling its debt to higher interest rates it’s going to continue to escape decline even with significant cuts to spending

Isn't CA a particularly rich state and not a good example of what states are capable of doing when compared to the federal government?
Valid point. Should not only be to touch grass. At least snow, sand from the beach, and trees could at least be on the list.

I agree, but its not the only way to use an LLM. I tend to focus my time with ChatGPT on getting it to prompt me on good ways to do things. Like playing cooperative writing games, or coming up with coding training exercises.

>I would also point out the social connection between reader and writer does come with some expectation of a reward. Whether it is to be paid in cash or respect is beside the point. People often expect some reward for their efforts and they are not wrong to want that. People are often uncomfortable to put it so bluntly because that would compromise the quality of the relationship, but upending this relationship is really a perversion of logic carried out for purely selfish reasons ("I want what you are making, and I will give nothing in return").

I often ask Chat GPT to cite anything it comes up with that I want to repeat, and if it cant cite it I ignore it.

I have been reading blogs, books or whatever for free for years often (99%+) of the time without payment or attribution. I have never considered myself to have a relationship with an author, and often wonder about people who have parasocial relationships.

I dont understand how a new tool that can chew on the data for me before presenting it hurts peoples feelings tbh. I would be honored if anything I have ever done was worthy of inclusion.
I raise you one Apple tree estimated to be around 370 years old:

https://www.ancienttreeforum.org.uk/ancient-trees/ancient-tr...

But yes, most Apple trees seem to stop bearing fruit around 50 years of age max and rarely live beyond 90-100 years as far as I can tell.
I agree that retrieval can take many forms besides vector search, but do we really want to call it RAG if the model is directing the search using a tool call? That like an important distinction to me and the name "agentic search" makes a lot more sense IMHO.
I think it's clear from the plots, that the closer you are to a train station, the more bad kebab shops you will find. That's why it's easy for humans to make the original assumption.
I’ve used windows and macOS side by side for over a decade, and macOS BY FAR has a greater level of polish than windows, which to this day is relatively unstable. I haven’t had myself or a relative experience an OS-level crash in macOS in like five years years. Meanwhile, troubleshooting a family member’s BSOD is a regular occurrence.
I built a small SaaS, mostly for myself, around OpenAI's API to quickly generate and store all of my web page meta descriptions for blogs.

Right now I am adding a couple of features as well as improvements to the UI and I want to make a proper pricing section for the landing page. Also need to figure out marketing. I enjoyed building it so much!

The Uncle Bob thing is something I'm experiencing right now.

I hired a friend who was a huge Uncle Bob mark, and he kept trying to flex his knowledge during interviews with other people in the company. I didn't really think much of it and told the other interviewer that it was just his personal quirk and not to worry much.

I had him work with some junior devs on a project while I took care of something more urgent. After finishing it, I went over to take a look at how it was going on his end. I was horrified at the unnecessary use of indirection; 4 or 5 levels in order to do something simple (like a database call). Worse, he had juniors build entire classes as an interface with a database class that was "wrong".

No practical work was done, and I've spent the past 4 weeks building the real project, while tossing out the unnecessary junk.

I liked Clean Code when I read it, but I always assumed a lot of it was meant for a specific language at a specific time. If you are using it verbatim for a Python project in 2025, why?
Sometimes we can give people the wrong impression about ourselves, even though there isn't anything fundamentally "wrong" with us. I understand that the idea of needing to manage perceptions to be loved can feel troubling - we want to be loved unconditionally, but feel as though we can only get the love that we want by performing tricks for it like a circus animal. This is why I mentioned the importance of developing the self-esteem to love without restraint. There is a subtle difference between giving love easily out of a desire to be loved in return and giving love freely without any expectation of receiving love in return. But to give love freely you need to have a self-esteem which allows you to not take it personally when the love you give isn't returned in the exact way that you wanted.

Your situation has a somewhat paradoxical solution: It is easiest to feel comfortable with ourselves when we feel we are accepted by others, but it is easiest to be accepted by others when we already feel comfortable about ourselves. Many people in this situation end up romanticizing the idea of being rescued from their predicament by a friend or a romantic companion. This is possible, but not probable. The easiest thing is thus to focus on yourself. Imagine you woke up tomorrow and you truly had no one - no family, no friends, not even a stranger to relate your story to. You wouldn't fall over dead. The world wouldn't end. There would still be a "you" living your life. Now imagine you were destitute, crippled, and intellectually handicapped. Life would certainly be difficult, but you would still be alive.

You are looking for validation in the external world; but what is worst thing that can happen if you don't find it? I would suggest the answer to that question, at a fundamental level, is "nothing."
Yeah you remind me to change my dns on all devices :) definitely cat and mouse

Burns at perigee have best efficiency to make in-plane changes (raise or lower orbit) due to the Oberth effect.

Burns at apogee have best efficiency for out-of-plane maneuvers (change orbital inclination plane) due to lowest velocity of the spacecraft.

Highly elliptical orbits can do both at a few hours' notice.
Even Bell Labs and Xerox PARC are two different entities.

These days Bell and Xerox would maybe merge to "consolidate their market position" and fire half of the researchers to show cost savings at the next board meeting.
> "In Finland schools teach media literacy maybe that's a start."

When I was a school-goer in the 70's, 80's, and 90's they used to teach that and basic critical thinking and research skills in "Current Events", "Civics", and "History" classes here in the U.S. too, but it seems to have gone away in more recent decades. Pretty sure that "social media" destroyed a lot of that in the adult population, too (for those who even had those skills to lose in the first place). :(
I had the legendary 15C during my college. That little thing was a workhorse. But I’ll admit I was jealous of the HP35 when it came out.
Meh - even though the original got negative reactions (for not hitting the mark as a sultry femme fatale), I still think her VO did better readings than a lot of the ones in this. Some of the mod's sound like several different takes by different people spliced together.

(This is still a crazy impressive amount of work, they clearly labored over matching things to facial expressions)
Looking at the original report ( https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1910322 ) I can see a couple of questions that DigiCert appears to be avoiding:

> The public record of Alegeus Technologies LLC v. DigiCert shows no attempt by DigiCert to contest the court’s order prior to the end of its preferred period of nearly 120 hours, even though such a motion could have freed DigiCert to revoke the certificates days earlier.

and

> The other question in comment 28 was for the language establishing DigiCert’s right to revoke Alegeus Technologies certificates. DigiCert has waffled on this point, first implying that this language was to be found on its website but later refusing to confirm that the language on the site applied to Alegeus Technologies at the time.

SPECULATION: Digicert may have offered special terms to Alegeus, and possibly other customers. They may have chosen not to dispute the TRO in court because they did not have grounds to do so under those agreements. They may also have included confidentiality terms in those contracts that prevented them from speaking about it.

OPINION: I am surprised that the forum allowed the issue to be closed without the above quoted questions being satisfied, though it is possible they are addressed elsewhere, I have not done a complete reading of all the linked issues.

EDIT to add: DigiCert has a response in a different thread here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1910805#c43 that would appear to contradict my speculation. Specifically

> Even though DigiCert’s TOU and MSA prohibited Alegeus from taking the action it did, once it filed for a TRO and the court almost immediately granted it, DigiCert’s hands were tied
Ask HN: Free speech-friendly options for payment processor and computer servers?
I want to accept credit card payments and rent computers with GPUs and storage. I plan to deploy a web service that targets citizen researchers or just anyone who wants to research various topics.

Just to give you an overview of what kind of free speech I mean, for example, my service may question vaccine safety and pharmaceutical drug safety and authoritarian policies around medicine, but my service is not going to be particularly about these topics. My service is going to be a general-purpose research platform. It just happens that free speech is required to explore various topics.

Can anyone recommend free speech-friendly options for credit card payments and computer servers with GPUs and storage?

Some content creators who exercise free speech use stripe and paypal, but paypal is known for heavy-handed censorship. Stripe won't particularly try to uphold free speech. I may start with stripe, but I wouldn't waste time on paypal which banned some content creators I know.

There are a few data centers like Rumble Cloud which are friendly to free speech, but Rumble Cloud isn't offering GPUs, yet.

Can anyone recommend free speech-friendly options for payment processor and computer servers with GPU and storage?
They do actually have custom models for autocomplete (which requires very low latency) and applying edits from the LLM (which turns out to require another LLM step, as they can’t reliably output perfect diffs)
The amusing thing is that HTTP/2 is mostly useful for sites that download vast numbers of tiny Javascript files for no really good reason. Like Google's sites.
I expect this guy to keep it fresh for me.
Are you sure that any change to address the recent issues would always result in those two outcomes?

Also, Elon Musk is the richest elite in the world so it seems we already are at the bottom of the problem.
Parallel Thread Execution. Think of them as opcodes for the Nvidia GPUs.
They are a bit more complex that your traditional opcodes (the lowest level of abstraction accessible to users) in CPUs, as you can specify cache parameters, memory barriers etc.

There are documented combinations of parameters for those instructions but if you fuzz (search new combinations in a random or organized way because you hope some will work the way you want) you can find new ones with unexpected effects or with advantages (in various ways like not polluting caches, speed...)

Which is the case for example for ld.global.nc.L1::no_allocate.L2::256B that they use in deepseek that provides significant acceleration while beeing reliable (although not working on all architectures so they have ways to disable it)
It feels like the only thing AI doesn’t have on us (yet) is the ability to drill into legacy code bases. Of course those code bases were written by humans during a time when coding was more expensive because we didn’t have AI to do it for us.

Because of that, I wonder if legacy code bases will be less common in the future.

The only prediction I’m confident in is that it’s a bleak future for devs whose skillset consists of languages rather than interests. I’m one of those devs.

Hahaha these are excellent, though it really latched on to the homebrew PC stuff I was into back in 2013

No because these cuts do nothing to address fraud.

In the immediate it seems to have cut short the next generation of scientists leaving more of the entrenched old hands.
apple’s software is shockingly awful across the board these days.
Before LLMs, chatbots and voice bots were dumb pattern matchers. You had to list every “utterance” that you wanted to match on. The only variance was in the “slots”.

An utterance is something like “give me directions from $source to $destination”.

LLMs mean that you don’t have to give the system every utterance in every supported language.
OpenFoodFacts?
I wish they would reveal the compensation numbers. Like its really easy to get a freelancing job if you charge $7.25/hr. But finding a freelancing opportunities that match the rates of dev shops ($200+ / hr) is much more challenging.
Okay that last one is phenomenal hahaha
There is also a bias in the rating range of a city. E.g. in Berlin when looking to go out to eat I'd look for 4.5 and above as it uses quite a wide range for ratings, while e.g. in Rome most time I'd be happy with a 4.0. There are many phenomena (in Rome probably high tourist expectations) that can skew the distribution of reviews in a way that makes it hard to use as a "quality" scale.
To be fair, they did somehow manage to take over javascript while nobody was looking.
Okay, so that means the US is gonna force Apple to disable Advanced Data Protection too. And soon also Germany wants to start mass surveillance [1]. Privacy is dead, the future looks bleak.

It's happening again right now

They justify these actions to their voters by lying about election fraud or exaggerating the issue.
I don't believe that that's a legal filing. DigiCert never filed anything with the courts. That's just a letter to Sectigo threatening to sue.

Mine went wayyy back to 2013, so I'm not sure its recent comments per se.
Trying to tie Google to one single grant doesn’t make sense, nor does associating the market cap of that company to that one grant make sense.

Google owes far more to TCP/IP research from DARPA than that particular library grant. But even then, the meta point is that you need lots of research pushing forward all edges of knowledge.

It is very rare that any single grant can result in a massive successful business at this point. Pushing computing forward needs constant research in all directions to push forward hardware, networks, security, power conservation/generation, algorithms, storage, etc, etc.
DigiCert probably should have revoked every cert they could within 24 hours. Instead they just pushed the revocation of all 80,000+ certs out to five days.

It's quite likely that many of their other clients pushed back on the 24-hour timeline (similar to what happened in their previous incident); I believe the delayed revocation issue (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1910322) hints at this. The TRO gave them a convenient excuse to delay all revocations without having to explain all over again why they made exemptions for their special clients.

Heck, their status page (https://status.digicert.com/incidents/3sccz3v31lc9) even gives instructions for how to request a delayed revocation - even though the initial incident page (https://www.digicert.com/support/certificate-revocation-inci...) says clearly:

"Any issue with domain validation is considered a serious issue by CABF and requires immediate action. Failure to comply can result in a distrust of the Certificate Authority. As such, we must revoke all impacted certificates within 24 hours of discovery. No extensions or delays are permitted. We apologize if this causes a business disruption to you and are standing by to assist you with validating your domain and issuing replacement certificates immediately."

Distributed databases are not easy. You can't simplify everything down to "has issues". Yes, I did read most Jepsen reports in detail, and struggled to understand everything.

Your second point seems to imply that everything has issues, so using MongoDB is fine. But there are various kinds of problems. Take a look at the report for RethinkDB, for example, and compare the issues found there to the MongoDB problems.
