Heh. I care about results from my colleagues and collaborators, not their tool preferences. If your topic branches and commit messages make sense, that's what matters — because those are our touch points of collaboration.
It is weird because this is a board for working programmers for the most part. So like, who’s seen a gram conspiracy actually be accomplished? Probably now many. A lackluster product that gets released even though it sucks because too many people are highly motivated not to notice that it sucks? Everybody has experienced that, right?
I'm pretty sure you read for pleasure, and feeling a human connection is one way that you derive pleasure. If it's the only way that you derive pleasure from reading, my condolences.
Weird, I thought this would have blown up on HN. It is the pure essence of a economic tech ladder, you start with RNA and build yourself into a crushing soulless office job.
Cuban AFAIK is not advocating for what is happening. His statement seems to acknowledge that Musk is fucking things up.

The point of asking you "what would you do in their position" is to see if you have an honest alternative for what a wealthy, high profile person could do to help the laid off 18F workers (and the country) in the short term, or if you're throwing stones at Cuban because it's an easy dunk.

I think there are good answers to the question like "Publicly fund and back anti-Trump politicians in Texas" or "Advocate for changes to the constitutional structure that enshrine the existence of independent agencies" or "buy a newspaper and go against the other demigods of America" or "buy every liberal in Texas a gun". That last one is a joke. Kinda.
That’s not evidence the system is supposed to work this way. That’s evidence that the system is breaking.
Tautulli proved troublesome in my first attempt at integrating it and got put on the back-burner unfortunately. I would really like to get it integrated properly so per user recommendations could become a thing.

I haven't looked at integrating Overseer yet but that is a good idea as well and worth a try at implementing. I'll be adding that to my list, thanks for suggestion!
You are right if OP want to do this manually. If not I guess it is much more complicated, you would need some tool that allows you to print rendered markdown. Add one more step: convert print to PDF and effectively you have tool to convert markdown to PDF.
eASIC Nextreme sounds like a good ol' fashioned ULA (uncommitted logic array), the sort of thing that's at least as old as the Sinclair ZX81 (where it drove the per-unit cost through the floor).

Your comment reeks of just world fallacy.
Fenizia and Kirchmaier (2025) (“FK”) studied the impacts of working from home by public sector employees. Workers assigned to work from home end up recording about 9%-10% more cases compared to workers in the office.

Releasing it was probably a mistake. In context what the model is could have been understood, but they haven’t really presented that context. Also it would be lost on a general audience.

The general public will naturally expect it to be the next big thing. Wasn’t that the point of releasing it? To seem like progress is being made? To try to make that point with a model that doesn’t deliver is a misstep.

If I were Sam Altman, I’d be pulling this back before it goes on general release, saying something like it was experimental and after user feedback the costs weren’t worth it and they’re working on something else as a replacement. Then o3 or whatever they actually are working on instead can be the “replacement” even if it’s much later.
I don't get it. Aren't these two sentences in the same paragraph contradictory?

>"Scaling to this size of model did NOT make a clear jump in capabilities we are measuring."

Cuban: "It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably created. They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms. I’m happy to invest and/or help."

Unfortunately these people (Musk and friends) are so full of themselves that it's more likely they will rather let the whole proverbial house burn down than ask for help.

It's one of many reasons why I am currently a political orphan. Absolutely sick and tired of the shenanigans of both the "left" and the "right".

It did not matter how old or sick each one is it mattered how each one is perceived. After the first debate a lot of Democratic voters felt like Biden was doing very poor and he was, numbers show it.

But really Democrats keep providing one unpopular boomer candidate after another, so when it is NYT or anybody upset - I am not surprised.

EDIT: actually I meant to reply to the person you are replying to, heh.
why? I had to stop using it because no one else would, and the various centralized services dropped support for it. but it handled branching and merging much better, was easier to pick up, and was less likely to trash your local checkout.

The best way forward is similar to how you describe. Instead of making one mode per language -- just make a generic "tree-sitter" mode, and attach that mode to all the filetypes you want it load via regexp patterns in `auto-mode-alist`.

Then when the file goes into tree-sitter-mode, you can check the filetype again, and map that into the language to load into tree-sitter. Keep a buffer-local variable to remember that current language, so that you can use it for any additional language-specific customization that you want as well.

Keep in mind that there's nothing about a major mode in Emacs that has to be specific to a programming language. It's totally cool to have a major mode that works for multiple programming languages!

The `noproc` option kicked me out of HN before I could respond, so I've been waiting 3 hours to say - this is fantastic stuff. Impeccable research and presentation! It's just... beautiful.

Perhaps tangential, but is that even based on some existing package for such publications, or is it an entirely custom frontend? I'll be happy to know more about how this project came to be, from both the technical and the academic perspective.
Have you explored the AST (abstract syntax tree) tools yet, like Mdast and the related remark and micromark?

https://github.com/syntax-tree/mdast-util-from-markdown

It might work better if you parse it into an intermediary Mdast format first, do whatever processing you need to implement "pages" (not a part of any Markdown dialect I'm familiar with?" but it shouldn't be hard to write a custom parser for that in Mdast), output that to HTML (via https://github.com/syntax-tree/mdast-util-to-hast) and THEN convert the HTML to PDF.

The AST tools basically give you structured JSON that's much easier to work with programmatically than raw Markdown. Then you can render that semantic JSON into HTML or other outputs.
Especially since all the things that one would expect should be easy were just really difficult to do for a long time, things like vertically centering, layouts before grid/flex, changing a style in one place and not accidentally breaking some other part of html. There was a lot of tribal knowledge about browser quirks, how to clear floating divs for example, selector precedence, how margins collapse, etc, it's all just non-essential complexity that bites you in the ass when you have the least time to deal with it.
Urbit was essentially Yarvin's political ideology written as a programming system. It was all about being king over the Urbit address space and creating a feudal community of super users ruling over regular users.

It's very sad to me that we didn't seize and expand on this alternative vision for work. A commuting culture is quite terrible for society and there are many examples of successful remote-first teams. Worse, we don't get even get the benefits of working together because these group-thinkers also buy into outsourcing and so we commute into an office only to spend most of our day on video call with remote teams. Idiocracy.

You can look up to the character and actions of people of any gender, sure!

However, a teenager in a society with gender roles is probably going to explore which of those they're going to adopt and which they're going to ignore. Could be they'll want to adopt a male gender role, in which case it's good if they've got positive examples of how to do that.

I grew up in and around factories - where I saw that skilled workers can be incredibly gentle, careful, calm, thoughtful and honest at the same time as being hard-working, providing for their family, and having a unquestionably male gender identity.

Women can model all those virtues - but they can't model them as a way of being a man.

If your teen wants to adopt a male gender role but the only examples they've seen are from the entertainment industry, they'll have a rather blinkered view.
See, this is exactly the "what the hell is water" problem. You think Microsoft's monopoly on Windows is a result of the "free market", and simply take it for granted when the government literally, explicitly, intentionally grants Microsoft their monopoly on Windows via copyright.
18f was self funded by billing agencies for cost savings, basically. It was basically free for the gov, and made up of highly technical people, many of whom came from top flight Silicon Valley or SV-adjacent companies. That is to say, neither cost nor technical skill nor efficiency were issues for 18f, which means that this wasn’t axed because of their cost…
Could you imagine any Project 2025 type wanting the government to disband the military? I imagine not. So why would they want to lose control of the nukes? I think in the case of the nukes it was just a ham-fisted attempt to downsize the Department of Energy. To that point, last I heard they were scrambling to re-hire those people.

Curtis Yarvin isn't a libertarian (anymore), he's a monarchist. I also don't think he would advocate for the government to lose control of the nukes.
if I use a pencil, I don't need to sign an absurd grant giving the company that made the pencil worldwide royalty free rights to use anything I create using it

so there is some other motive for suddenly requiring this

I spent some honest time solving the problems in css. You know what was the industry/search approved solution 90% of the times? Some greasy hack that assumes sizes and doesn’t translate elsewhere or generalize into experience. You just start to know how to make a single x of X, but X is still as big.

Css is a pile of low-effort crap targeted specifically at ad-hoc problems web designers had. It can make front pages, and sucks at everything else.
Non-zero: the Logic of Human Destiny was a very influential book for me growing up, talking about how society's very premise is non-zero sum thinking. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonzero:_The_Logic_of_Human_De...

Thanks for this idea suggestion, this spin. Its a framing that, now that I see it, maps well & explain so much. The limited world view is collapsing our world, in horrible ways. Mankind became better than the animals because we grew to encompass more than short transactional views of ourselves, and it's so heartbreaking watching vicious dark side anger unmake the core of spirit that propelled us so far.

Why can't I WFH w/ a company VR headset that transports me to a virtual office yet?
Yeah, I think it’s worth reflecting that most people with families work 80-hour weeks. Richer people can pay others to take on part of that workload so they can do 50 or 60 hours of work for a company and still actually be working less. Which is fine, I guess, until they’re all like “why are you poors always so sluggish and tired and wanting to clock out right at 5 on the dot?”
I thought I had seen businesses run by every conceivable group, founders, engineers, sales, marketing, finance... and then I saw a hospital and realized it was run by HR. Every "may" in a rule becomes "shall" since anything else could be perceived as preferential. It makes the lives of both supervisors and supervised hell. Only the spiteful or incompetent rise.

Of course the "why" is driven by the greatest risk in healthcare. Where most income comes from insurance is stable, the real risk is being sued. Hence rises "there shall be no exceptions" HR rule based hegemony.
I contributed to one company(intuitive machines) by buying their stock a few weeks back, they are public - ticker is LUNR. They have a moon mission going on as this is written and plan to touch down on the moon 3/6/25 and drill for water(look for IM-2 mission). Last year they were the first private company to send a lander to moon and made headlines due to the missions success. So for me its profitable and I get to contribute to interesting science.

I stuck around with objective C for a long time. Till around 2018/2019 when I finally built my first fully swift app. It was actually my hacker news app called HACK:

https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/hack-for-yc-hacker-news-reader...

I would highly recommend Swift over Objective C. It's a lot cleaner and therefore also fun. I still use objective c if I am using some old codebase but other than that, nowadays, I don't see any reason to start a new project I in objective c.

You should really give Swift a try.

Also, Android's Kotlin is also kinda fun similar to Swift.
It looks like a pipeline or process problem that should be solved elsewhere.

> One very easy example of this is the high rate of deadbeat dads in comparison to rates of single dads.

Unlike women, men don't have a say in the birthing process but are nonetheless saddled with the consequences. Unlike women, they have no recognized right to unilaterally relinquish parenthood and the costs associated with it. Being a "deadbeat dad" is the result of a lack of agency against the legal fiction of paternal obligation. It's not like these men would prefer to be deadbeats if availed the free choice of parenthood rather than the legal imposition of it. If there was a database of every abortion undertaken and every child given away by a woman, akin to the Federal Case Registry for child support, it would be evident that women are just as likely to be deadbeats as men.

> In these situations simply having a healthy adult that does align with gender expectations on some level, but not another level, that's an alternative can equip children to make decisions about their own life and how they want gender to figure into their own self-image and relationship to the community.

In a world of 8 billion people and countless permutations of social cohesion, it takes a severe case of naïveté or hubris to believe that "healthy" is or could ever be a well-defined term and not a moving target only a small proportion of people have the wherewithal to live up to. Gender expectations are all simplifications and fictions that often put people into neat little boxes without accounting for their individual circumstances. This has done more to harm self-image than build it, especially when people fall short of these expectations and later resent themselves or the world for their perceived inadequacy to fulfill standards they never consented to.
I believe 4.5 is a very large and rich model. The price is high because it's costly to inference; however, the bigger reason is to ensure that others don't distill from it. Big models have a rich latent space, but it takes time to squeeze the juice out.
Sorry but this is completely off base. Executives know what they are doing. They just don't care because it makes them more money.

It depends on whether you consider that evil or not. But no, I do not take that they don't understand somehow because of their privilege.

This is just another executive grift trying to make people feel better about them and the decisions they make.

Stop the bullshit and say the quiet part out loud. They do not care what your employees have going on. They understand it fucks with people's work life balance and simply do not care.
I’m in a different country and have different almost everything, but one thing is constant: nurses are treated like crap.

I’m a radiographer and moaned to a colleague about the holdup I’d have with my 7am x-ray ward round in ICU. ‘The nurses are still doing handover at 8am, so won’t help and I can’t do anything.’

An older radiographer told me that the nurses stopped getting paid at 7am. The overtime they were working every single day after a night shift was all unpaid.

On every team I’ve worked on there is an expectation of at least weekly updates. Usually a daily or every other daily standup. The request is not unreasonable.

I can never know what I’d do when faced with a position where I believed some of my budget was going to pay dead and inactive employees, and where members of the management chain were insubordinate and unwilling to help identify the issue and even complicit. I’d guess I’d just fire them all. Is that more humane?
Diversity hiring has the specific goal of equalizing the mix a little bit, which requires hiring particular people. Same as education quotas which aim to bring in more students from unprivileged backgrounds, an attempt to correct historical discrimination over generations.

Your question demonstrates a lack of basic understanding of this, which could be obtained in half an hour of reading; from this perspective being kicked out of the room is not an unexpected response.

I do strongly agree with the principle that any discrimination is still discrimination, but reality is more nuanced than that.
I have been remotely working since 2020.

There will be no return to office.

The unspoken issue here is trust. Managers and execs at these RTO mandate companies do not trust that the rank and file are working productively when not monitored in office.

Why else would they want to lose hours to commuting, and not take advantage of their employees living in cheaper CoL areas? Because they don't truly trust their work output when not monitored in person, and the cost of higher salaries to afford housing near the office plus lost hours and energy commuting are worth buying the trust they otherwise don't feel they have. It's dysfunctional, but it makes sense.

I am glad to work in a high trust work environment. I have seen people who abuse the system get let go. They deserve it.

I should be able to read 5 of them (even though there are only 3 items displayed).

The "landing screen" is also too big, I should be able to see some content that make me want to have a look and sign-in, not just sign-in to have a look.

3) As a personal opinion I prefer Bad/Neutral/Good rating system + review for the nuance.

No, it's not changing anything from an internationalization perspective. It's introducing a change to the content, gated by a 'firefox-tou' feature flag, and tagging the old text with an expiration date of 25-04-2025.
