Why do you think Tesla sales would shift to other BEVs not other types of cars? I feel like this is more about the whole car market and where sales are going. Is there data showing an equivalent increase in BEV sales specifically from European or American brands that equals Tesla’s lost sales?
Ok, let's try that. Thanks!
Interesting! Do you have a page which compares globstar against other similar tools, like Semgrep, ast-grep, Comby, etc?

For instance, something like https://ast-grep.github.io/advanced/tool-comparison.html#com....
This is in the messy HN gray area of "politics that doesn't have a tech angle" and "politics that are extremely indicitive of the times."

Flagged again. It's really pathetic how the Americans here are burying their heads in the sand about what their country has done to the West and how it has betrayed Western civilisation.
What is most interesting is the presence of Vance and that he started the argument. Yesterday he was with Trump and the British PM and accused the UK of being against free speech. I don’t recall VPs being active in such meetings before now. It says a lot that Vance is taking such a prominent role in areas that VPs traditionally do not publicly venture in.
As an American, I share your disgust.

The reality here is that a plurality of American voters chose Trump, and they still approve of the job he's doing (though that's dropping fast): https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/approval/donald-t...

I know this is exactly what Trump wants, but I don't know that I have the energy to continue to try and convince my fellow Americans that their demigod will destroy this country. They voted for this, they got it, now let's see how far they're willing to let this country fall before they change their tune.

I assume this is because most Emacs users, especially Emacs devs, disable the menu bar, tool bar, tab bar, scroll bar, etc.

> default keyboard shortcuts not working

Yeah, I think a new Emacs installation should prompt the user to choose between something like "Common keyboard shortcuts" and "Classic Emacs shortcuts". It would take me only a few minutes to set up all the common keyboard shortcuts for a new Emacs installation, but I think it should be just one setting.
Come one, we both know Trump would respond. With a contract for half the invaded nations resources.

Kinda off topic. How is Red Hat doing after being acquired? (Serious question)
The analogy breaks down because physical property and intellectual property are different.
When we input creative works into training sets, we do not withhold those works from someone else! Digital copies are different than scarce resources. *

Also, all the AI ToS I've read have stated they will use my inputs to improve their services. I haven't seen an AI service state they won't use my inputs.

* Against Intellectual Property is a good book that explores this idea https://cdn.mises.org/15_2_1.pdf
Teams (which includes the guts of Lync... aka Skype For Business) has grown into Microsoft's behemoth (320 million active daily users while Zoom only has 200k business customers and actually declined YoY).

If you are talking non-business free users then sure, Zoom comes out on top.
On my work laptop (not an old one), Chrome easily consumes a huge amount of RAM when I go to a page with lots of ads (including this article). I don't have an ad blocker on it.

Essentially, if I open 2-3 pages with these types of ads, I run out of RAM (16 GB) and the whole laptop slows down. I simply can't browse the web while working (which may be a good thing!).

Of course, part of the problem is Outlook and Teams and some other apps using a lot of RAM, but Chrome is the real bottleneck.

So no, not "just bearable". I couldn't even read this article. It's the norm that I just close the tabs without reading because I don't want a laggy PC.
No, they come off as weak little babies whining about someone not saying thank you.

Important to note that the serotonin theory of depression doesn't have to be strictly true for SSRIs to be effective. People who having passing familiarity with neuroscience often assume that psychiatric medications work by correcting deficiencies, but this isn't true. It's also not accurate to say that SSRIs "give you more serotonin" or any of the other variations on that theme.

Neurotransmitters aren't simple levels in the brain that go up and down, despite how much podcasters and fitness influencers talk about them like that. Neurotransmitter dynamics are complex and the long-term adaptations after taking medications like an SSRI can't be simply described in terms of "levels" going up and down. There are changes in frequency, duration, and movement of Serotonin across synapses that are much more complex. There are also adaptations to the receptors, including auto-receptors which modulate release of neurotransmitters (side note: some newer antidepressants also directly target those autoreceptors with possibly slight improvements in side effect profile).

So keep that in mind when reading anything about the serotonin theory of depression. This is often brought up as a strawman argument to attack SSRIs, but we've known for decades that the serotonin theory of depression never fully explained the situation. We've also known that some conditions like anxiety disorders are associated with increased serotonin activity in parts of the brain, which SSRIs can normalize.

Many locals refer to it as such, but I am not sure the area has been officially deemed a bird sanctuary. It is a well-known area where birds from around the world converge.
> Where are the millions in the streets forcing change?

Rioting in the US is viewed extremely unfavorably in the US. The country is so geographically dispersed that it's hard to significantly interrupt commerce. Also, because of the large rural/urban political divide in the US, the places these protests take place would largely be attacking their own voter bases.

There is lots of political mobilization in the US. Marches, protests, and most importantly there is a lot of citizen funded legal challenges. But at the end of the day, democracy does not have a lot of natural protections if the people of the country democratically choose to end democracy.
It's a crucial difference. Encoding and persistence in your genome means permanent changes, not for a few generations, PERMANENT. Epigenetic encoding and persistence is temporary, even if it expresses for more than one generation.

Crucial difference, one is a mutation, the other an environmental adaptation.

That's also called "coke", which is why there's a Tintin book called "Coke en Stock". [0]

"Withing 12 months", then "few decades", then put in the mess AGI and artificial superintelligences. Reaching AGI, if ever, won't acheive singularity by itself. And there are more players in the game.

The only prediction that sounds like a big maybe, and with a lot of luck within a year, would be reaching something that will be labeled AGI by some actors. But from there to singularity there may be quite a distance, if ever is achieved.
It is frankly absurd that they should be expected to

These LLMs could not exist without them, but now they're expected to compete?

If all of the Q&A platforms die off, how are LLM training datasets going to get new information?

This whole AI boom is typical corporate shortsightedness imo. Kill the future in order to have a great next quarter

I hope I'm wrong. If I am right, then I hope we figure this out before AI has bulldozed everything into dust
They should troubleshoot the long loading times for the site.
It’s adorable we still think this administration still cares about respecting the law.
> What makes the workload somewhat special is

I'll add that latency also doesn't matter that much. You are doing batched data loading for batch n+1 on CPU when GPUs are churning batch n-1 and copying batch n from host memory at the same time.

So as long as your "load next batch" doesn't run for like >1s it would be fine. But one single "load next batch" on one worker means thousands (if not more) random read.
Well, I'm also European and I am disgusted by our leaders as well.

What have they been doing? Why are our soldiers not defending Ukraine already? Why do you assume that we are any better?
That sub is heavily moderated to remove all dissension from whatever Trump's view is at the moment. It's not a representative sample of the conservative side of America.
What "economic or financial purpose" does bitcoin provide that could not be identically claimed by any "memecoin"? It's entire claim was to be a "payment network" that required no organization or anything behind it. This is equally true of any memecoin. People trade DOGE coin even though it was SUPPOSED to be meaningless.

Plenty of memecoins have literally been the bitcoin code with a few strings and numbers changed.
what does it mean "multi-modal database"? Do you have any details somewhere?
Yes, but a browser is like a wirephoto. The recipient gets an exact copy of the original -- not retouched. Spelling errors, bad grammar, "warts and all."

The browser is supposed to be transparent -- what you send is what I see. How I react is up to me. It is not up to the intervening service to add or remove content.

This is what the internet was intended to be.
I don't think that we're this far gone yet, but is there a chance the US sides with Putin in this case? I think it would be risky, and I don't _think_ Trump's base would go for it, but it does feel like the long term goal is to try to sanitize the idea of a shift in the geopolitical order to ally America with Russia instead of with Europe.
You're not wrong, this is the nth iteration of python tools that try to solve all the problems of what came before, including whatever the n-1th iteration introduced.

That said, in my personal experience with uv, it solves nearly all of the problems I've come across that were created by other python package management tools. It seems to have been very thoughtfully designed and I think there's a strong chance it'll become the standard, and that there won't need to be more standards after this. We'll see!
You did nothing wrong! it's a fine submission, and the site guidelines (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html) call for using the original title "unless it misleading or linkbait".

The linkbaity effect of the original wasn't obvious until we started seeing it in the comments. Once that happens, though, we've learned that replacing the title with more neutral wording is the #1 thing to do to get a thread back on topic and into curiosity land (as opposed to sensational land).
> Soon you'll be seen by others as a car mechanic. Maybe a reliable car mechanic. But reliable car mechanics don't get paid a lot.

this argues for a messed up reward system for the company, not the engineer. all sufficiently large systems have bugs and performance issues, and adding a measure of reliability, stability, and speed is just as important as adding features.

I think the VP is usually present at these types of meetings; but indeed there was double-teaming.
I'm sure I can make a couple of surprising or insightful articles for my current industry, and then I'll run dry.

Most topics require data or information in some form, which requires time to accumulate. You end up rate limited. Even at the scale of a decent sized company, you often can only produce interesting content occasionally.
It will be tough. America is now trying to export American-style fascism to Europe as well. So we have a new enemy, a former friend who has betrayed us. As I say, it'll be tough.
This is a bit flippant, but maybe hacker/startup culture just moved from being applied to tech to being applied to politics? It seems like the technofeudalism promoted by some could apply a similar ethos.
Alas, even the rodent studies are not rigorous.

DNA methylation is epigenetic, and that's a direct chemical alteration of DNA. The title isn't wrong, and your example sentence isn't wrong either.
Don't forget that Ukraine has a pretty good donation website setup if that happens to be a cause you are willing and have the financial resources to give to.
From TFA:

> To be fair, although the story is intended to be debunking, the folktale also has a positive moral that applies to AI. The collective resources of many humans can make something that no individual could, and that really is magical.

Its not deflationary, its just about reframing, reattributing what is so impressive about LLMs. We get so caught up in the tech itself, that it exists at all, understandably considering the way the discourse goes, we don't stop to appreciate how its even possible at all; that is, all of us (broadly).

So many people just cant get past Sci-Fi mentality, they make the current AI into a kind of weird but promising baby, but we can also, much more easily and nicely, consider it a beautiful reflection of human writing at large.

And whats even with all this constant pressure for it be more than that? All the arguments, philosophical gotchas, weird Skinnerism... Its like you're given a perfectly good hamburger and all you can say is "this is pretty much a steak if you squint".
Very curious why you'd take this approach over something like the Boston Keratoprosthesis (https://eyewiki.org/Boston_Type_1_Keratoprosthesis). With a history of cornea rejection, mine has been stable for almost 16 years.
> JS being the monolithic tyrant

There are probably tens of thousands of developers waiting in line to switch out JS. The reason they can’t is not even that it can’t run in the browser (many can) but that it interacts with the DOM natively, which makes it the only language that can be used in the browser without masochism. In turn, the DOM is the only UI that is truly cross platform, which makes it the by far best and cheapest option because everything else is either hobby or proprietary in 10 different flavors depending on which fiefdom you build your product in. Basically, JS isn’t popular because of ability, but its interoperability.

The effort & money that has been poured into tech after JS was created would dwarf anything beforehand. Yet, we live today by the open standards that were developed before Bezos etc started purchasing private islands. So I’m a little hesitant to blaming JS for being backwards when the rest of the world couldn’t come up with an alternative despite having 1000x (not an exaggeration I think) more time and money to do so.
Purchase referral code swap thing? As far as I know, nothing like that has existed. There's a ton of FUD "reporting" about Brave out there intended to drive users away.

There was a function that'd suggest a campaign partner while typing things in the address bar (eg. "binan" for binance.com, it'd show an ad for binance as one of the dropdown suggestions). For one day, it had a bug that if you wrote a complete url (eg. binance.com) in it and that matched a campaign partner, it'd give the ad as a suggestion. The bug was fixed within one day of being reported and the whole ad suggestion thing turned off by default.

As far as I know, they've never done anything to referral codes within websites. The current browser does have a function where if you right-click a link, it gives you an option to copy a clean link by stripping tracking nonsense out of it. Eg. X links just become plain links to tweets and so on.
To me the parent reads more as explanation than defense, and that's valuable.

Human systems are imperfect and messy. Understanding how they break down helps us make them better.
I mean time has proven over and over that Gates and Microsoft were right.

If your business is developing and selling software to businesses then you want a proprietary license and usually to give it away for non-commercial use. If your business is selling direct to consumer then you need a proprietary license, no source available, and probably DRM.

If your business is something unrelated to software, and uses software as a means rather than an end then OSS is your friend.
> still not catching errors when performing combinations of operations that need to be a single atomic transaction

This is so important. The idea that code is thread-safe just because it uses a thread-safe data structure, and its cousin "This is thread-safe, because I have made all these methods synchronized" are... not frequent, but I've seen them expressed more often than I'd like, which is zero times.
Nope, the brigading of every topic which only scrapes at doge/elon/trump is too obvious at that point. I would really like an anti brigading mode with a higher karma threshold. 31 karma is not enough in times were both parties want to silence the other.

He needs to establish himself as a leader (this behavior doesn't help beyond maybe their base) if he wants to be president after Trump. It's also ingratiating behavior towards Trump which will help ensure he remains on his good side and part of the in-crowd.
What if the trigger was the US annexing a NATO nation's territory? He's already made noises about Canada and Greenland (Denmark). That would be the ultimate farce.
There is a war happening because we have waged it. We attacked the symptom with military gusto and ignored the problems that caused it. We made domestic policies that legislated morality and poured billions into the coffers of the cartels. We countered with billions spent in the military industrial complex and by militarizing the police. So yes, there is a war happening. Because that is how we framed it.
The problem is that the real impact and the perceived value of each path are not necessarily the same.

Building new things is sexy and highly visible. It's easy to say about yourself "I built that cool new feature" or better, to promote "I might build something of incredible value". You're front-and-center with decision makers, shaping the future.

Conversely, debugging is perceived as a cost center. "I fixed that critical infrastructure that used to work with only minor interruption" or "Maybe everything will break and you'll need me to fix it" are not nearly as exciting. Worse, the best maintenance is completely invisible, fixing problems before they are felt. You're in the background, dealing with the legacy of the past.
The very top of the US government is partnering with and supporting OpenAI, Meta etc. None of these lawsuits are going to amount to anything more than a slap on the wrist. Their logic seems to be that AI is going to be a matter of national importance, and other countries will infringe the copyright anyways, so it must be allowed for the US AI industry to stay competitive.

There's a list of cases here [1]. The case against Github Copilot was already mostly dismissed despite it producing identical samples to license-restricted code. The cat is so far out of the bag now anyways with many open models and datasets containing the stolen data - there is nothing anyone can do about it now.

> > "You went to campaign with the opposition"

Zelensky is facing opposition, every day ever since 2022, Trump faced his best friend Schumer and a whole bunch of people he laughs with when the cameras are off (or even when they are on considering how he laughed amicably with Obama at Carter's funeral.)

Romney would have never done this, the end of religion and the rise of social media could very well be the thing that ends us for good.
IMO the issue is that if they want to stage an argument, Trump on the campaign trail has often lost his train of thought. That would not look very "strong" so Vance is there to do the job.
Thanks, good spot.

So Mozilla, an organisation that commends itself for working to put control of the internet back in the hands of the people using it, [0] is creating a situation where the FOSS community needs to maintain its own 'cleansed' builds, akin to VS Code/VS Codium [1] and, to a lesser extent, Chrome/Chromium. [2] (The Chromium case is somewhat different; Google maintains both the FOSS Chromium builds and the non-Free Chrome builds.)

4 years ago I commented that It's just non-stop with Mozilla, isn't it? They have the curious pairing of technical excellence, and a long history of awful non-technical decision-making. Little seems to have changed. [3]

The reason is all the competitors that have started up have come at it from a perspective of "why owning the platform would be good for competitor X" and not why it would be good for users to use their platform. And so the only ones that have managed to hang out with any relevance are GOG for going DRM free and doing classic game restorations, Epic and Game Pass for bribing people with free games. And even the latter two have issues getting people to buy games they aren't getting for free.
