I'm in Oregon, which is one of the five.

A while back, one of my son's teachers was presumably carrying; she had a crazy ex whom she had a restraining order against. I know this because she was involved in a legal case against the school to let her keep her gun with her at all times.

I'm mildly in favor of this. Generally, I feel that employers forbidding employees from carrying weapons is allowable but usually stupid. State and federal agencies, though, should have less freedom in making those sorts of restrictions than private organizations.
> What’s the appropriate number of employees for the federal government?

I don't think there is one fixed number. What is the point you are trying to make?
Bad result for America, as at least the two that I've been familiar with have both been dramatically better website implementations than much of the federal government.

GSA, Digital Analytics Program: https://analytics.usa.gov/

Huge amounts of data about how government websites are used including: locations (cities, countries), languages, referral sources, media sources, devices, browsers, OS, website destination, and top file accesses.

Treasury, Government Spending Explorer: https://www.usaspending.gov/explorer/budget_function

Really thorough breakdown of government spending from 2017 onward, with per month, per quarter, and year spending totals by budget function and agency. Divable categories so you can look at the $1,400,000,000,000 in National Defense spending, and actually find out a little about where it all goes to each year.

Edit: Here's their Github and 1200 repositories: https://github.com/orgs/18F/repositories

If I had enough money to hire them, I'd snap their employees up quickly.
Kinda, but the US made clear that at this point they will only back Zelensky in the negotiations.

Without Russia and Ukraine agreeing on how to end this war, split the spoils and salvage the little that's left, outside parties will hardly be willing to commit to enforcing the peace.

Ideally a solution can be found that wont make Ukraine (or Russia) dependent on the mood of an outside party, but if that's realistic is questionable at best.

I think the phases of negotiations could look about like this:

1. Cease and freeze the conflict

1. a) Build a framework for rebuilding Ukraine and Russia

2. A third party establishes with both sides the format of the upcoming negotiations.

3. Both sides find partners backing them, establish their minimum positions and ways to compromise on them without giving up on them (e.g. if territory can't be regained, shared management and dual citizenship for the people living there might be possible)

(4.) The neutral third party, together with the partner countries of both sides establishes sanctions for violations during the negotiations.

5. Very messy negotiations on the outcome of the war

6. Even messier negotiations on a security framework between the two countries

7. Mudslinging contest on security framework involving all relevant parties

8. Sign peace deal.

9. Try to toss aside Ukraine, get reminded what you agreed to in 1. a), regret ever having agreed to that extortion racket
Might as well start colonizing Jupiter's moons, we can start with Ganymede, IO, then Callisto - the official name for it can be "The Rim".
There are defined diagnostic criteria but those are somewhat arbitrary, and evaluation of those criteria is highly subjective. Different clinicians often assign different diagnoses to the same patient. There are probably multiple different underlying pathologies that cause ADHD symptoms.

> I mean double the defence budget (or triple in certain cases), double the standing army and etc.

If we would actually do defense at the EU level, we could use that money a lot more efficiently through economies of scale and 2-4% of GDP would probably be enough to defeat russia.
Back in the 1970s I had a bed wetting problem. They tried a medication called Ritalin to address this problem. This medication had an interesting side effect of making me pleasant to be around for the first time in my life. Both my parents and all of my teachers remarked on how much better I was able to pay attention and be kind to other people. Then they took me off the medication and I reverted to my wild ways. I don't think many or any people had heard of ADHD back then, so it didn't occur to anyone to try to medicate me for what I clearly had. Over the decades I've learned to cope with ADHD without medication, but I can't help but wonder how much better my life would have been if I had been able to concentrate and not been so hyperactive. Maybe I would have done better in school and had friends.

Even today, I wonder if I should go through the trouble of being diagnosed and getting on medication. The last three days I wasted my time instead of doing the work my company pays me to do and got exactly nothing done. The entire time I kept thinking, "I really should do that work so I can keep my job and provide for me family" but I couldn't concentrate and procrastinated day after day.

Most of my children have ADHD. Before they could be diagnosed, they did have to go through extensive testing by a psychiatrist and there were interviews conducted with us as their parents and with their teachers. The 15 minute diagnosis mentioned in the article has not been my experience. We have regular meetings (every 6-8 weeks) with the psychiatrist to evaluate their dosage and how things are going.
WDYM? If alternative is war even closer to home, then doubling or tripling budget is nothing.
50k commits 22k closed PRs. Rust language has 280k commits and 80k PRs respectively. Not a small project by any means.

Because regardless of what we're talking about, a bubble around a thing is still a lie. The faster one bursts, the faster truth lays bare and one can make an actually informed decision. LLMs are here to stay and have probably already found a growing place in our lives. But much energy is currently spent speculating about their future significance. The bubble is about downplaying those are just speculations, while inflating the perception of their importance in our current or upcoming reality.
I enjoy noise music, I just finished listening to a 20-minute arrhythmic improvisational jazz track with a guy singing in a kind of Simlish. So I can imagine that lower fidelity, or a bad transmission wire, might be part of an enjoyable experience.

On the other hand, apart from the trivial detail of us all living in our own unique problem situations, I'm pretty sure that my preferences are the best and anybody else would be revealed to have stupid ones, if only we could communicate about them. But (speaking of bad transmission wires) detailed communication about ineffable private experiences is patchy at best, so regrettably we have to leave one another in peace to enjoy stuff, and lay off on the backseat driving.
The moral hazard is pretty clear. Testing is profitable and so are the drugs. If they are wrong, there is no penalty. For the same reason an optometrist lied about my perfect vision as a child and conned my parents into glasses I never used paid for by insurance.

Remember doctors are there to advise not to command, know the hazards and be willing to say no or consider the data from your own perspective.
Meanwhile, the French DINUM (direction of digital inside the French government) and BetaGouv (kind of our 18F) organize their "Rules as code" event in 3 weeks.

I am not an expert in systemd homect but I have found that adding, "Show documentation for any methods or built in functions used" helps when I'm working on anything obscure or that is less likely to have a lot of publically availability code (that the LLM was likely to be trained on).

That helps a lot whenever I am working off something I know will likely exist but just needs to be pulled from a company's documentation.
> I’d be wary of building your whole app architecture around AWS.

Yep yep, we're on the same page here, just that it sounded a bit like you recommend people to use EC2, managed Postgres, and S3, when that seems a bit like that defeats the purpose of using a big cloud vendor in the first place since those products can be gotten much cheaper elsewhere

Just clicked the link to your website: your hero statement I sorta have on a t-shirt (there is no cloud, just someone else's computer). The footer statement "To improve your browsing experience we don’t use cookies" I have nearly literally on one of my websites. We are definitely on the same page xD. The website seems to think I'm from Talinn btw, maybe a reverse proxy issue (that it looks up the IP address' location of a proxy instead of that of my German IP address)? I do second the remark posted in a sibling comment about fading in content, but (maybe you adjusted it already) it fades fast enough that it doesn't bother me as much as on some other websites. Could still be faster though imo

Good luck with the product!
Except you didn't offer any evidence for your position, provide any references, or provide any sort of logical argument. You offer your own platitude and then condemn other commenters for doing so, hypocrisy.
That, but also the current system allows rich peoples' accountants to exercise an enormous amount of creativity when determining what their taxes should be, their imagination constrained only by the vague threat of possible audit from a gutted agency limited to limp-wristed punishments. Automation threatens this kleptocratic "freedom."

(The creativity has to do with asset games of fixed overhead that only amortizes on sizable fortunes. Poor people had better file their taxes correctly. If you work for a wage, you are poor for the purposes of this discussion.)
Louis Rossmann has a video series of his rants about commercial real estate and the refusal of landlords to rent spaces to him which have been vacant for multiple years.

One of his videos speculates that real estate is being used to store money and the building owners don't want to rent out anything:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yavgfk0IjdM

Another video speculates that the owners of some buildings have made claims to banks and investors that their buildings are worth more than these buildings are actually worth. In this situation, if the buildings' owners lowered rents they would be admitting that the building is not worth as much as they claim. This could trigger contractual obligations they have with their mortgages and investors:

I have two children diagnosed with ADHD. The first was acting so erratic in class that he ended up missing four weeks of school because they kept sending him home. The doctors suspected ADHD, but refused to diagnose it without going through the full process. Short-term therapy, then long-term therapy followed by a psychiatric review. Once he got medication everything went back to normal.

We just started the evaluation with our second child and it's the exact same process. Not that I doubt some doctors cut corners, but I haven't personally seen it.
The collectives' operational costs come out of the fee, GitHub is big enough to zero-rate their cut. But I'd kinda rather also support OpenCollective use over a tech monopoly.
In my ten years as a teacher, I've had just one student whose pediatrician prescribed ADHD meds, much to the alarm of my colleagues. Typically, an ADHD diagnosis is the result of either a full neuropsychological evaluation, which requires several visits with a clinical psychologist and extensive observation forms for teachers and parents to complete.
It’s the click on the letter test supervised by a psychiatrist for my diagnosis.
I appreciate the thoughtful response it’s refreshing to have a real discussion rather than the usual knee-jerk reactions.

That said, I think you’ve actually made my point for me. You laid out how Europe is equal to the U.S. in GDP, population, and military availability, all of which just reinforces why it no longer makes sense for the U.S. to keep shouldering the majority of European defense.

If Europe is fully capable, then it should be fully responsible for its own security. That doesn’t mean alliances disappear, but it does mean the dynamic needs to shift. The U.S. has carried this burden for 80 years, and at some point, grown-up nations take full responsibility for their own defense.

I agree that NATO served its purpose mutually during the Cold War. But now that the geopolitical landscape has changed, so should the arrangement. The U.S. has pressing priorities at home, and if Europe is as strong and independent as you say, then it should have no problem stepping up.

If Europe wants full American protection, then maybe it’s time they start paying for it.
So we'll give Ukraine just enough support to keep the meat-grinder going but not enough to win the war. If Ukraine looks like winning at any point, Putin may escalate to tactical nuclear and we can't risk that.

So after a couple more years of the meat-grinder, Ukraine no longer has enough young men to maintain a viable force.

What happens then?

I'm not sure about the current status of this document. Years ago there were subtle nuances that I gad to reverse engineer looking at the source code and Firefox's actual behavior.
I hope they change the name of the browser at some point, it sounds vaguely promiscuous (maybe because "ladyboy" is the closest word to it). One reason Chrome started taking off in popularity is because tech enthusiasts appreciated its speed and made their friends/relatives download it. Harder to imagine telling my parents to download something called "Ladybird"...

> the push towards automated tax collection strikes at the heart of their games

I don't think that's even it. The goal is to make taxes seem scary and complicated to the public, to build a consensus that taxes should be eliminated or simplified - which inevitably plays out in ways which will largely, if not entirely, benefit the wealthy. And in this light, the reason the wealthy are opposed to Direct File is obvious: having it available reduces the pain that people (and particularly the working class) will feel from having to file taxes, making it harder to drum up popular support for "reform".
It's weird, I'm sure I have ADHD but it's very hard to get a diagnosis. Several of my friends have it and I'm exactly the same as them. I'm not in America though (very thankful for that considering what's happening there now)
I'm a afraid it will be a bit too late.
First of all, it's the US Governments, and thus the citizens, Direct File tax program. Unless Elizabeth Warren personally wrote the code I don't think her brand deserves to be on it.

Second, are we pretending it was a good system?

"Direct File is now open and available in 25 participating states." Wow. Half the country! That's _almost_ useful.

"You can't use Direct File if you had other types of income, such as gig economy, rental or business income." Again another baffling miss. Perhaps Senator Warren is willing to explain this personally?

"You can't use Direct File if you itemize deductions." What is even the point? Who would have wasted their time creating this boondoggle?

This is all lipservice. People who want to claim credit for a half working implementation. It's 2025. This is utterly embarrassing to the nation and I can't rightly determine what goes through the minds of Senators. They are so detached from the common American experience.
No, given your characterization of the world in our previous interaction and willful ignorance of the challenges presented to you and your perspective, i don’t think you actually could or would use chatgpt in the manner i did here.

Can they partly work around this using drones? They should be able to at least monitor a larger range. Add a speaker to tell people to move out?

> Open AI has a brand, it has talent, it has some really solid models, and it has the compute to serve inference at scale.

So does Google. And Google can roll out their premium models into phones, household devices, cars and online platforms to add value.

OpenAI has a website.

It's not even close.
This was our experience with our daughter about a decade ago. Her school required a diagnostic test that took several hours and cost several thousand dollars.
Trump made the right move. I've had enough of the wars and proxy wars. Peace is on the table, they should have taken it. So glad I don't live in the UK right now.
Excellent work, and a great read.

What videos did you end up playing on this after your testing was complete? Do you have any recordings to share of this in action?
Letta (formerly MemGPT) is a framework for creating LLM services with memory
Because what used to be a generic indicator of distracted early childhoods (whether by nutrition, environment, weird parenting) got a new name.

And it is no coincidence or surprise that brain stimulants like amphetamines dominated the first wave of treatment. People 'perform' better on amphetamines, always have. They work so long as you concentrate on the short term and ignore long term issues like increasing tolerance, increasing demand and ultimately schizophrenia from chronic deep sleep deprivation.
I'm sure there is! What is the best way to find it? I'd likely google some type of query to find out if it exists and how I might use it.

Anything more than one query/line of text and one click is more than it would take to get a llm to write this.
I agree with what you say, but I think many users care most about coverage. Its not like ublock is slow on a desktop.

It would be great if you did some benchmarking though!

Its also possible to extend WebKits rules, if you can prove minimal performance regression.
I get your point, but I don't think a board game is a good abstraction to collapse the real world into. The world is not a fixed, closed system with finite resources. In a board game, expansion and innovation are not possible, only trading and strategy, as you mentioned, can optimise the system to some extent. Moreover, winning in a board game happens solely because of its rules, whereas in the real world, one person's success does not necessarily mean another's loss. Trade can be mutually beneficial, driven by each party's ambitions.
All in the service of interactivity, a key feature of CL.
If what I'm reading is correct and this was a cost-recoverable function, then it's possible this work will be contracted out to private companies in the future.

Already Trump has said the government will sell federal buildings and rent them instead.

If this continues, it will be very similar to how the kleptocrats took over Russia when the Soviet Union fell...
So you should do the same as with normal clean-room practices?

LLM1: code -> english description of code

LLM2: english description of code -> code

And that would be clean room? Might be cool to automate that. I bet you could train LLMs to do exactly that.
I'm just an outsider here but it seems very obvious to me that someone could both 1) support the (stated) mission of saving taxpayers' money and reducing the US national debt, and 2) disagree with a specific cut
Thanks for sharing! This approach is inspired by tools like opendiffy. It’s an adaptation of canary testing applied earlier in the SDLC - more specifically for Pull Request testing. Lends itself quite well to cover contract and integration testing and potentially “shift left” other types of testing.

Would love to get feedback from the HN community!
I can't read the article, but I can say (a) that Americans are generally much less opposed than Europeans to treating mental disorders through medication, and (b) the best available information tells us that ADHD is underdiagnosed, not overdiagnosed, even in America.
I've been told that I "have a problem for every solution", and I'm OK with that. It's because I tend to look for things in the solutions suggested that either do not solve the problem, are unrelated to the problem, or are obviously (after a bit of mental poking around) problematic themselves. It's sometimes annoying but most times the process leads to simpler, more elegant solutions (less future maintenance, but more upfront mental effort).
> Housing services aren't the problem, capital gains are. You know this. You are nitpicking.

Rents and imputed rents are definitely part of investment returns, and you can have a "good investment" where the returns are entirely in the form of [imputed] rents/dividends and not at all in the form of capital gains.
> fund IRS investigations to ensure the taxes are actually collected.

Even people who want to tax the rich are skeptical about empowering / funding the IRS because there are many studies showing that the IRS disproportionately audits the poor.

If that’s true, then why would more funding help new enforcement against the rich rather than multiplying the current problem? Generally cash/support fixes material resource issues but cannot fix policy issues
Except... it's not.

This is a clear signal that the people remaining to run the show at OpenAI may not actually know what they're doing. The big names building the technology have fled from Altman's power grab. They all have startups of their own.

Meanwhile, the people at Anthropic keep making Claude better and better. No bombast, just tech. And then there's the model not on the list of many of these shoot-outs: Grok 3. That one has scale, and it's actually good.

"We can sorta kinda also make a big AI!" is not the message you want to be sending. It has to clobber the other "main" models out there.
Ok, but can you please not fulminate on Hacker News? This is in the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.
Peace in Europe benefits everyone—not just the EU, but also the U.S., Asia, and even Russia itself. If we fail to invest in defense, we risk more death and suffering from unchecked Russian expansion and bullying.

It’s hard to see where you stand here. You seem unconcerned about Russia taking Ukraine and then the Baltic states, as if that would be a positive outcome.

Is the full surrender and merging of Ukraine into Russia something you desire?
1. Conscription starts at 25, not 45. (Even 25 is a lowering, it used to be 27).

2. So what? 30-45 is where their population peaks; massive dip right in the 18-30 range: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Ukraine#/media...
This is one of the reasons I wish companies embraced remote work more, and which I wish the government encouraged more. Plenty of locations could be rebuilt and revitalized simply by moving working families there, and plenty of people would be happy to buy up the cheaper housing and contribute to the local economy if their places of work allowed for such flexibility.

Its a real shame that both state and federal governments do not see the advantages of this...
