> Ukraine is incredibly corrupt and its government is fighting a loosing battle against this.

I hear this of this. I lived there for a year, fairly recently, in Kyiv. I didn't particularly see it, hear of it, or encounter it. I remember one or two stories of people being convicted of taking bribes, that's it. I didn't see it around me, or hear it from locals.

I may be completely wrong, but I think this isn't any more of an issue than any other post-Soviet country, and with the war on, UA doing an awful lot now to sort it out, because it relates to survival.
If IPv6 had happened quickly, we might never have needed NAT but it didn't.

I appreciate the context! Honestly, every time I start thinking that K8s might be the "universal cloud" orchestrator I've been hoping for/working towards, stories like this remind me just how...tenuous it can be relative to traditional VMs and standard containers-as-appliances. Still working to get my Admin cert for the spec, but it's definitely not something that sparks joy, if you catch my drift.

Thank you for the insights!
It has always been possible to decompile and deobfuscate code. This makes it way, way easier, though it still requires effort. What this produces is not going to be perfect.

The author thinks this invalidates the business models of companies with closed source or mixed open and closed components. This misunderstands why companies license software. They want to be compliant with the license, and they want support from the team that builds the software.

Yes, hustlers can and will fork things just like they always have. There are hustlers that will fork open source software and turn it into proprietary stuff for app stores, for example. That's a thing right now. Or even raise investment money on it (IMHO this is borderline fraud if you aren't adding anything). Yet the majority of them will fail long term because they will not be good at supporting, maintaining, or enhancing the product.

I don't see why this is so apocalyptic. It's also very useful for debugging and for security researchers. It makes it a lot easier to hunt for bugs or back doors in closed software.

The stuff about Grok planning a hit on Elon is funny, but again not apocalyptic. The hard part about carrying out a hit is doing the thing, and someone who has no clue what they're doing is probably going to screw that up. Anyone with firearms and requisite tactical training probably doesn't need much help from an LLM. This is sensationalism.

I've also seen stuff about Grok spitting out how to make meth. So what? You can find guides on making meth -- whole PDF books -- on the clear web, and even more on dark web sites. There are whole forums. There's even subreddits that do not not (wink wink nudge nudge) provide help for people cooking drugs. This too is AI doom sensationalism. You can find designs for atomic bombs too. The hard part about making an a-bomb is getting the materials. The rest could be done by anyone with grad level physics knowledge, a machine shop, and expertise in industrial and electrical engineering. If you don't have the proper facilities you might get some radiation exposure though.

There is one area that does alarm me a little: LLMs spitting out detailed info on chemical and biological weapons manufacture. This is less obvious and less easy to find. Still: if you don't have the requisite practical expertise you will probably kill yourself trying to do it. So it's concerning but not apocalyptic.

Sure you can acquire a private fleet of jets and cars now. But given that you rarely if-ever drive them it's no different than a fleet of rare animals.

I will conceded that their life expectancy has basically doubled but I don't think there's anything you can do as a king to fix that. If you don't hoard all the wealth it's not like life expectancy immediately doubles. A rising tide raises all ships but the tide takes centuries to do that lifting.

Yes, the only thing that genuinely scares the rich is wealth taxes.

It is next to impossible to hide the fact that someone owns something like real estate

In addition to real estate I might consider other property such as bank accounts, at least above a certain threshold. Presumably that cash has to be invested somewhere (or should be encouraged to do so)

If we could get a real wealth tax, I would do away with income taxes like some states have done (i.e. Texas)
It's also fun to see this marketed as generational trauma. Just because gene expression has changed does not mean that is equivalent as trauma.
I live in Texas and back when the idea of succession was being thrown around I asked my friends if they’d go toe to toe with the US Marines while bombers and drones loitered above their heads. They got very quiet.

I don’t think a civil war in the us is possible but I think advertisers taking advantage of the divisiveness to see chaos is likely (and already happening).

Edit: I meant “adversaries” instead of “advertisers” but I think advertisers works equally well so left it in.

Bullshit. Undo in a macOS text entry box is part of the widget’s implementation and you get it for free. It doesn’t need to be tied to the app’s state, since it’s just working on the text you put into the box.

There's been a lot of stupid things over the last few weeks, but this one is close to the top. 18F did really important, good work. But they also stood for equality and diversity, they were proud of their inclusive culture, and outspoken about the importance of representing the entire country.

The new administration put a 28-year old tech-bro in charge of the parent service named Thomas Shedd from Tesla who started demanding root access to systems, firing probationary employees, and generally making the place worse (to say nothing of the partner projects that were abandoned with no notice). All in a few weeks. Somebody needs to be taken out to Chesterton's fence and whipped a few times. They have no idea about the value of what they just threw away.

We now have llama 3.3 70B, which by most metrics outperforms the 405B model without further scaling, so it’s been my assumption that scaling is dead. Other innovations in training are taking the lead. Higher volumes of low quality data aren’t moving the needle.

>Trump hates this, and thinks it's disrespectful that Zelenskyy doesn't wear a suit when he comes to the US on official visits.

That's why they invited dress uniforms...the ones with the jackets and ties.

I suggest you look at historical trends for USD to CAD and trends for home prices vs income in Canada.

> rich people want to invest some of it in the real world, not leave it in the bank

Honestly, I have no idea why would anyone need that. Money is not value. Money is just a way of keeping track who is owed by future society how much value. It's a way of keeping tabs who gets to consume in the future.

When rich people hoard their money it's not a problem, you can just print more money to replace what they sucked up and hoarded. It's exactly when they try to spend it where the problems start to show up. Because they are doing it stupidly causing at least some inflationary pressures but more often than not societal and environmental harm.

Countries should make every effort to make spending their money as hard as possible for the rich people. Disincentivize them with high (and highly progressive) luxury, investment and real estate taxes. If that causes them to hide their money to avoid tax, even better. Every dollar of rich money hidden is a dollar of value not wasted by society on servicing the rich and their whims and gambling.

Yes, he's of the opinion that the alliances in security and trade have not been a net benefit to the US. Is that shocking to you? He's literally been saying that for years. And thus, he's acting to change those agreements to make them more advantageous and to stimulate domestic production to compete with foreign labour (that's ultimately what tariffs do). He's going about it in his usual bombastic and ham-fisted way of course, but he's doing exactly what he's always said he wanted to do.
It seems even more interesting than the power envelope. It looks like the core is limited by the ability of the power supply to ramp up. So the dispatch rate drops momentarily and then goes back up to allow power delivery to catch up.

You have the ordering of events inverted. Companies do not automatically have more money to invest after their stock price rises, because the stock is traded between unrelated third parties. Rather, the stock price rises after the company made investments that paid off, increasing the company's expected future profit. This then retroactively provides the incentive for people to give money directly to companies to invest in exchange for partial ownership.

So the question you should be asking is: How much did Nvidia invest before their stock hikes? And which companies will the original investors fund next after selling their shares at a profit?

Disclosure: ex-Zapier employee, shareholder, biased disclosed, I have zero information or access today. Thoughts and opinions always my own.

I’m not sure who you worked with, but I worked for several years with both engineers and the CTO, and I strongly disagree with your assertion regarding their engineering prowess. It is one of the most engineering focused companies I have ever worked at in ~25 years, and at least while I was there, the bar was high (and continued to rise during my tenure).

Security is hard, perfect security is impossible. You prioritize workload to the best of your ability, and hope you outrun adversaries. Sometimes, you will lose, and you have a plan for that. People are always the weakest link.

Integrations are brittle because integrating with thousands of APIs is hard, and APIs are constantly changing underneath the system. In my opinion, the core was robustly architected and implemented (although it has changed over time).

From what I know, OpenGL on macOS is internally implemented using Metal and supports more features than ANGLE.

ANGLE on macOS supports OpenGL ES 3.0 when running using Metal backend (source: https://github.com/google/angle), whereas macOS natively supports Core 4.1.

And from my experience, there is basically no difference in performance between Apple's implementation and ANGLE, especially for simple things like what the author is doing.
I’d argue that read receipts are a great way of letting people know that I received their information, without the need to respond to them to let them know.

This is nonsense. If infrastructure locations are not classified then every potential malicious actor already knows them.
Do you know what happens to your income tax when you pay it to the government? They destroy it (if it's cash), or simplify nullify electronic values. The government literally prints money, it doesn't need your taxes to "make" money. Income taxes were invented before the creation of fiat (non-gold backed) currency.

Lots of countries in the world operate without income taxes.

As it should be, because they only keep getting less and less reliable and trustworthy. They might say something true and factful, then 20 minutes later spew out another story that is 90% lies and/or ignorance. You can't just read the news and be informed, you need to pick apart each and every topic and article in order to discern truth from a jumble of lies, omissions, and opinionated slants. The only common denominator is they like the most inflammatory views as possible to push engagement.

My point is that it is not the same, in a similar sense in which testing (as a software engineering discipline) is not a substitute for proving the correctness of code. Another way in which it is different is that the “coder” cannot test hypotheses of the kind “when I prompt x, then y will happen” other than as a one-off, because that conversion is lossy, whereas in no-code/low-code “when I specify x, then y will happen” is deterministic. In other words, with no-code/low-code, the “coder” can with time learn to predict precisely and reliably what their change will do, which is not really the case with LLM-based coding, where you have to go by the “vibe”.

CDs have better quality than vinyl in every way. If you want the sound of a vinyl, apply the modulation and record the result on a CD.

When I did my only two Ayahuasca sessions and closed my eyes I saw some kind jungle scene with the eyes of a big cat looking at me. It was really interesting. With mushrooms I usually see abstract patterns. I never have mach hallucinations with eyes open. I just notice more things that I usually wouldn't notice. That's why I believe a lot movie directors took some kind of drugs because of all the details they can see.

Another politically motivated asinine post on Hacker News, I wonder why, right President Trump is in office and doing a great job. Makes sense.
The desire to help your offspring is a very deep part of the human nature. Any way to prevent that is inherently inhumane. I don't think such system can last long (and coincidentally they never did).
We have to separate his goals as a politician and his need for righteousness.

Trump gave him clear wins in his previous statements prior to the outburst. He committed to continued weaponry but emphasized he'd prefer the fighting to stop. He committed to NATO. He committed to getting back as much of the land, or more than you'd think, all clear progress from his previous statements and position in prior weeks.

Remember, the Mineral deal was already agreed upon. Trump, in my view, was being gracious and gave him additional wins. Had Zelensky taken those wins, NOT added an a whole unnecessary unprovoked debate with Vance, he would've ended that first meeting with those wins, EVEN with all that he said prior to the blow-up, some of which was already ungracious from Trump's perspective.

After the signing at the 2nd press conference he could've went into his whole need of security guarantees to protect their now mutual interests. He could've asked Trump to help him build "a big beautiful wall" to protect from the vicious x, y, and z, and still iterated, strongly to the press and world his needs, perspective, etc.

That's how a politician should've operated. Got there, carried out agreement which gives Trump face to his followers, taken the additional wins, and after all set, broadcast his views strongly and respectfully to the world, setting up a clear pathway to additional security in the future.

Win, win, win.

Instead he got none of that, and may even lose the current funding and support they were getting as Trump is still Trump and will likely want to extract some pain for his perceived slights.

Objectively, from a political perspective, we can see the outcome wasn't great, especially compared to the version of events that was being setup prior to the unnecessary confrontation.
JavaScript definitely has a few such OpenAuthJS, Better-Auth, and Next-Auth.
