At this point, "marketing tarpit" seems like a pretty accurate description of Mozilla's stewardship of Firefox as well, so if I'm going to get sucked one, I'd rather it be the one that's taking a maybe untenable stand for something that I agree than the one that's trying to gaslight me about whether "disseminating user data to a third party for valuable consideration" is what most people would consider "selling user data".
The industry is already in agtech 2.0 for plants and animals. There's no need for billionaires. We already do fully automated control, robotics, sensoric and harvesting. Farmers are rich enough to do it by themselves, and it scales easily.

Just vertical farming is a bit too expensive still, but with animals it's already vertical.
That was then, now it is a 3d engine.

Nick Land is a philosopher who had a mental breakdown taking speed, blasting jungle music, and croaking into a microphone and I think it’s not coincidental that many of the people I’ve met who believe in this stuff have a relationship with amphetamines/MDMA. Andreessen name checked him in his accelerationist manifesto, which is funny because the manifesto is all about how tech is supposedly “pro-human” and Land was very explicitly anti humanist.
We aren't even in the same dimension as perfection here. It's a historically obvious phenomenon. Basically all human organizations tend toward inefficiency and waste eventually. The US government is the largest employer in the world. The reasoning would be no different if it was a corporation.
These things definitely help, but the question is how do you get someone started with all of it. It all seems pointless to do for someone with depression.

Small and micro gas turbines are already used in the sort of Combined Heat and Power plants used to power commercial / retail buildings, refrigerated warehouses, light industrial units and the like. There's no reason why they shouldn't be used for residential neighbourhoods, especially in colder areas where district heating would be a major selling point.

Compared to reciprocating engine-powered CHP, they tend to produce a slightly higher proportion of their energy output in the form of heat than electricity, and the plant is about about 60% of the volume and half the weight - so they make most sense in constrained spaces or for rooftop installations.
Serious question: why not, if the author just knows Rust? Are you so allergic to anything written in Rust? Then get some new pills and ointments because there's going to be more and more of it.
Yes. Accused. That article does not mention anything else.

I personally believe that just an accusation is NOT enough to justify that treatment. In fact I don't believe that even if she did intend to work the correct thing would have been to send her back. But an accusation?!
On the VWP, you cannot work - it's a visit visa.

If my parents broke the terms of their visas when they immigrated or my wife when she came on her F1 we all would face similar experiences.

Same in Germany as well.

Can confirm.

Thanks for pointing this out. This makes it much more likely that someone messed up a server/firewall configuration than that Musk is ripping out network cables at NIH.
I mean, it's like a pastiche of naive startup founders meeting the reality of the industry they're trying to disrupt.
Yeah, we have all these nice labels for all sorts of things, which makes it sound like everything is figured out, but this is definitely very far from the truth and complexity.

I try LLMs every now and then briefly just to keep myself up to date. I’d say they’re more useful when you know what you’re doing because then you can correct the mistakes it makes. It can be good for boilerplate, refactors or remembering syntax.

It’s when you don’t know what you don’t know that they can be harmful. It’s the issue with Stackoverflow but more pronounced.

I don’t want to use LLMs because I think they’re unethical and I dont want to depend on a tool that requires internet, but I think if you take a disciplined approach then they can really speed up development.
I'm testing Zen (https://zen-browser.app/) on macOS since a while back. Updates seem to lag behind the upstream by everything from 2 to 10 days. Every now and then a Zen-specific update shows up. So far the experience has been good. I don't know how true to their word of protecting privacy the authors really are, as my web proxy shows that the browser connects with Google infrastructure at sporadic intervals through the day even when the browser is sitting idle with no loaded tabs or active extensions. My feeling is that it is too frequent to be the auto-update check. I really hope I'm wrong or goofed up with keeping an eye on its network chatter.
Actual bottleneck in examples is sqlalchemy, like 10x overhead easily. I find it quite funny. There is no real difference in web frameworks for real apps in terms of overhead.
When I used Brave a few years ago the adblocking worked as advertised and the crypto features required an opt-in. The issue was that it was unstable after opening a few tabs and didn't have feature parity with Firefox.

I don’t understand how those can both be true. Having enough money that you don’t need to work anymore is pretty much the definition of having ‘fuck you’ money.

I agree that increased military spending in Europe is a good thing.. for Europeans but net negative for the world.

Also it's a pretty daft take to think that this sudden armament of Europe is going to help the "contain China" cause. Why would anyone in East/South East Asia now trust USA when they see economics as zero-sum game with military intimidation towards allies as a valid strategy for getting their way. China is doing the latter without the former, and most Asian nations has more to lose economically siding with US to begin with.

Pivot to China have been the long running goal since Obama but why it took long time is because of dynamics like this. Just to on a whim in less than 2 month destroying all that. I can't imagine how this can be spun as a win, even with outlined goals of yours.

Yeah good luck containing China when all their neighbors are now not sure about American commitment anymore. If I'm a Asian politician I'd probably just start nuke development and declare neutrality and ride this one out.

Global free trade, which have benefitted all of Asia (including China) is not something US is supporting anymore anyway

I never tried psychedelic drugs, but had a NDE like experience before. People who took heroic doses of psychadelics reported similar experiences as people who had an NDE.

What is interesting is that brain activity is severly reduced in these states. So it could be that taking large doses of these drugs could in a way "simulate" the process of dying.

I had an out of body experience, floating just below ceiling and seeing myself in bed. Being lighter than a feather. Window was slightly opened and i could feel the outside breeze trying to pull me out, at that point i got scared and put all my strength into falling back in my body. Years later I was diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea. Maybe my oxygen levels dropped significantly and i almost left for good.

Ask HN: Will there be software roles in the coming European defense sector?
I'm guessing Europe will begin investing in defense capabilities. Any thoughts on if software roles will materialize and how one would even go about applying for them?

Would be cool to write Rust firmware for drone defense systems or something like that.
AFAIK cloudflare has a contract with CISA to provide DNS for .gov
I disagree. The nameservers still respond to requests on 53/tcp. It seems like someone messed up a firewall configuration or rolled out a bad server configuration. Shit happens - maybe exacerbated by the DOGE insanity. But there is no indication that this was done on purpose.
To them this is an added benefit in the process of destroying the US government.
I'm going to regret this, I bet, but here we go: Many years ago I was the manager of the team inside NIH/CIT that ran both the border firewalls and the DNS servers in question (to be specific, at the time it was NIH/CIT/DNST/NEB/NSS). Obviously, since I'm not there anymore I don't have any special inside information, but given that the DNS servers were responding to TCP and not UDP during the outage, my bet would be a simple firewall screwup, rather than malice.

Stuff happens - maintenances have unintended consequences, people typo stuff, etc. Don't freak out about every event - save your powder for the real outrages (like 18F).
> Why do you want to pay a government more money when it obviously can't allocate what it already has?

I don't think they're reflexive responses by stupid republicans, I think billionaires don't like paying taxes (to pay back into the society that made them fantastically rich in the first place) so they purchase Republican politicians to both obstruct government and vote for tax cuts. They obstruct the government to make it inefficient and then they use the resulting inefficiency as evidence that the government needs to be "starved".

And that's just politics-as-usual stuff before the literal cabal of billionaires in the Trump admin began working expressly to create an oligarchy.
I was hinting at building an alternative system that would be resilient to this kind of tampering. Decentralization fanatics might be of use right now.

Who said anything about being depressed? It’s a fact, we are insignificant in the universe. Less than a rounding error. I am simply acknowledging it.

It doesn’t make me feel like anything, other than trying to imagine the universes’ vastness - in an attempt at futility. I don’t think my mind (or any human mind) can ever truly fathom it.

The image in question is likely a blow up of a point in the sky that’s 1mmx1mm, about the size of a grain of sand, and it is rich with many many galaxies, way more than we can see - if you account for the vast and infinite depth. The Milky Way is said to have 400 billion stars. So if there are a 1000 galaxies present in the image, that’s trillions of stars in a square mm of the sky.

I think it’s pretty darn empowering to think your life’s problems mean that less, one part in numbers so large I can’t even pronounce. Don’t you think?

Eggs were getting too expensive thanks to H5N1, so they thought they'd vote in a bunch of scientifically-illiterate antivax clowns.

Think about it this way.. when tech folk got hooked up to mainline net access 24/7, it wasn't exactly good for us. Think 1970s cocaine consumption.

When the rest of the population got Facebook, that's a refined and potent strain being sold into a population with no natural immunity or defensive mechanisms. Now it's 1990 and there's a crack dealer on every corner in poor neighborhoods.

Those politicians who were at the wheel in 2008-10 must bear a share of the blame. They could see this coming, or should have done. There was far too much complacency about what was festering online and how easily it spread.

Did none of our leaders hear about Gamergate in, what, 2015 and go, hang on we've got a BIG problem brewing here? Even GG wasn't really that much of a shock/surprise if you'd been paying attention since the mid 00's.

APOLOGIES for making this post so annoyingly long, but I really hope you find value in the words below.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm going to first share a personal experience from my early trading days to illustrate where I'm coming from. I used to wake up at 4:30 am everyday in the Chicago suburbs to beat rush hour traffic and make it into downtown Chicago at 6:30 am. In order to wake up so early, I fell into a habit of sleeping at 9:00 pm and like a robot waking up at 4:30 am. This simple routine was indirectly helpful when things seemed darkest.

For the first six months, I lost money and was ridiculed constantly by other traders who were more successful than me (which was about 20 other guys CONSTANTLY using me as a punching/whipping bag). The only thing that kept me going was the fact that some of the very same traders that would be making wise cracks at me for losing money were some of the most successful people I knew at the time. For better or worse, if I needed a trader to model myself after, it was the same people that were telling me how bad a trader I was - and although I was not open to really hear what they were saying, they were right about my skills in every way (but their feedback was always packaged in some sort of insult)

Because they have literally dismantled several government agencies, took down websites and removed useful databases from several others?
Fair, and to be totally clear, even when I was in the field (an age ago), sequence stuff was never really my thing. However, sequence comparison is a fairly fundamental tool.

Of course, yes you can run these things locally, other providers (such as EBI Europe and Japan) have them, etc. It's still a bad sign on the pile of other bad signs, IMO.

I have watched a lot of Curtis Yarvin interviews.

He is so well read that what he is saying doesn't work in a blog summary like this.

I think he also says things exactly so people write blogs like this to make him sound extra controversial for marketing purposes.

If he just said what he really believes, that the US needs a president like FDR, it would get no traction.

Implying democracy is dead while really meaning Athenian democracy that we don't have and that the US needs a monarch when really talking about FDR/Hoover/Coolidge is a professional writer basically marketing themselves so other writers like this run with it and do marketing for him.

I get the feeling he is doing a type of "dangerous idea" performance art because it is really hard to be a professional blogger.

Almost the way the Ice-T band Body Count went from obviously stirring up controversy for the song Cop Killer for marketing purposes to Ice-T playing a cop on Law and Order.

10 year dominance of a political party by one man is not a hijacking. It's a revealed preference.
Takes like this only focus on domestic politics and ignore the harrowing neoliberal foreign politics both parties uphold in order to perpetuate class inequality and create consumer demand. Both parties are invested in selling this country out, even if some Democrats really do care about social services.
Eggs were getting expensive due to an egg monopoly raising prices, according to the egg monopoly. The H5N1 was just the reason given to the public.

They're going to a lot of effort, and exposing themselves to a lot of risk, if this is all likely to be undone in a few years time. My worry is that they won't be able to resist trying to permanently lock-in these changes, even if the most obvious way to do that is to abandon democracy.

Hello! I'm the author. I'd love to hear what you think about this post. My long-term goal is to come up with a generalized model and/or algorithm for startups. I didn't want to make this Substack post too technical, so a broader audience could also enjoy it.

I think there are many dimensions for startups (funding, team size, micro and macroeconomics, etc) and I want to see how these fit into a a high-dimensionality model. My background is mostly in computer science, so I will need to do a bit more research in a few other domains (economics, business management) to understand what makes startups work and fail and draw on existing research.

Eventually I am hoping this model can explain what makes some startups work, and others fail in a very broad sense.
So I'll be working 60 hours a week at making myself superfluous and making a billionaire even richer than he already is. Yeah, but no thanks.
