I’ve had decent luck installing linux in a vm on a mac, then screen sharing the video the vm is playing.

In fairness to apple, linux apparently runs fine on arm macbooks.
"The Ukraine" is grammatically incorrect for the same reason "the England" is grammatically incorrect. An article doesn't go there.

The politically incorrect usage here is not bound to intent, because unaware readers will subconsciously lower Ukraine's status in their minds regardless of whether the writer intended them to do so.

The official status, or lack thereof, of the comment doesn't matter either. There is no compelling reason to not use the accepted name. If your friend was called James, would you intentionally call him "the James" just because you're not making an official statement? That doesn't make any sense.
No.

>The "anti-woke" crusaders are honestly more unbearable than any social justice warrior type I've met because they will not shut up about it and it colors their whole life.

I'm the complete opposite. Swap "anti-woke" with "social justice warrior" and you have my experience across multiple years, both inside and outside of companies.
But AI researchers are one of the resources currently needed! Even though there are lots of them, it's undeniable that if half of the best 1000 AI researchers in either US or China were to move to the other country it would be a massive boon to AI research in the country they moved to and have a negative impact on AI research in the country they left, even though it wouldn't destroy the scene in that country.
I'd still call 3kLOC quite small in all mainstream languages.

I worked on a Python project which I'd consider as medium sized, ie not small but not large, and it was around 25kLOC.

My $dayjob is a Delphi codebase with roughly 500kLOC, which I'd say is large but not huge.

Though if you wrote it in something like K[1], then yeah ok, I'd agree 3kLOC probably counts as large.

So now trying to avoid offensive language in the government is the reason to fire a whole department?

What is going to happen in four years? Is every administration forms to fire each others federal workers?
People who complain about Xcode have never had to use android studio ;)
Only because in recent decades there's been a huge dieoff of newspapers. In the 1980s and before it was quite typical for a US city of any size to have multiple newspapers (as NYC still has). You would have at the very least a Democratic-leaning and Republican-leaning one, and you would often find others (for instance evening newspapers which were published later in the day and had more up to date news than the morning papers).
> we feed lsp errors directly to the LLM as development is happening

Yeah I guess that would help a lot. Stuck with a bit more primitive tools here, so that doesn't help.
Definitely don’t set security questions to the password itself.

Use the password generator to come up with some random words, different for each question.
People can be become indifferent, which is a win for China.
Rules based order never meant anything. Really it was just predictable stability.
> This does not seem likely as even by adding this many cars to the market, there’s no way they would sell at 25% of value

agree.

and how does decommissioning 2200 chargers cost $50M - $100M? that's $22K - $44K each.

you turn the breaker off. you don't need to rip the chargers out.

regardless of whether or not you think it's a good idea, breathlessly inflating it to "might be" a billion dollars does not convince me more.
I consider pretty much anything written pre-LLM about learning languages to be dated these days. LLMs don't necessarily help you learn but the perform a complete transformation on the challenge of doing it to an entirely different problem space.
Thank you for bravely speaking out. I would also like to add that many Americans underestimate the value surveillance provides to our government and (certain) allies. It's so important for America to continue innovating in these unprecedented fields to defend the control it wields over savage and undomesticated tech markets seen abroad.

Too much stock is being put into the value of the global opinion. Not enough people are appreciating the return to the golden age of smartphone tariffs and regressive income tax.
It's very sensible to disband 18f simply because founding fathers of US never wrote anything about internet in the constitution.
AI, China and Copium
Man it's American exceptionalism all the way till the end. Do you see all the other countries that have gone through the exact same transformation without and such civil unrest? What exactly makes the US different from them? Name absolutely anything.

All this bluster and wishful thinking is exactly why we're here today.

"you should admit your situation there would be more dignity in it"
The first time I changed a system prompt, I changed it to "You are George Carlin." So, I think we're already doing that, in a way.
They don't actually know who the bureaucrats are that they want to traumatize. Anyone calling a product manager, UX designer, or software developer at 18F a "bureaucrat" simply has no idea what they actually do. They are just demonizing the scapegoat du jour.

Also among these so call "bureaucrats" are psychologists at the VA helping veterans with PTSD; search and rescue professionals working for forest service, park service, fema, etc; undercover FBI agents trying to stop organized crime; NOAA scientists predicting hurricanes, the list goes on.

The demonization of the civil servants of this country is a story that people who want power are telling the country in order to gain said power. It's a story as old as time.
I looked at France and Germany, there was a clear downward trend for a long time, yet it bumped before the pandemic, got super low for the 2-3 years of it, and is steadily rising again.

Comparatively they are still incredibly safe countries, and the sentiment of insecurity has always been disproportionate to reality and politically exploited.

But people feeling the social climate deteriorating is also spot on, the economy not doing great and rising inequalities is largely part of it so I don't think it will improve in the short term.
We did something like that with an Amiga bouncing ball demo (on linux or Macs) back in the day (two decades ago, probably)

I think it was using a wide master screen that the terminals connected to via vnc, displaying different parts of the master screen. Only three or four screens wide, though, and not optimized for user interaction. But a live app nonetheless.
And to remove anybody not blindly obedient.

Paradoxically this is a real witch hunt
I'm pretty sure keto has not been extensively studied for anything but the management of epilepsy in children that do not respond to medication. So tbh this is an odd comparison.
The Planemaker Who Walked Beneath the Water
Yeah, I don't want to do this either. This is a super special case, after exploring alternatives with our researchers it's unfortunately needed. As for record-of-death, we made sure that we do serialize all rng state and have our data pipeline perfectly reproducible even when starting from checkpoint.

Building a system for serving read-only data at NVMe SSD speed (as in IOPS) took surprisingly few effort, and is mostly enough for training data. Kudos to DeepSeek who decided to spend extra effort to build a full PFS and share it.
The oral semaglutide (sublingual dissolving) is like 10% as effective as the injected version. But it presumably could be given in higher doses to counteract that. I'd be shocked if the manufacturers aren't working on a more effective non-injectable version.
It is only hard to understand for a minority of Americans.

Many of the things Trump is doing right now are unpopular even among people that voted for him.

Wouldn't it be horrible if Europe defended itself without help from the United States?
Well, I can see why sharing aggregates will be required, but then they go and explicitly say that share aggregates _or_ share data stripped of PI _or_ share data via "privacy preserving technologies". The latter two options sound exactly like selling the data that most people would imagine.

And note that they don't tell anything about future or current data usage, they are just giving _examples_, which are, by definition, not the whole set. For all that I know they might be selling slightly stripped data already or plan to start very soon - the message does not contradict this.
Asking people to be responsible for the damage they cause is called 'accountability' and not 'dystopia'.

Software is not just something someone uses for hobbies or for word processing or whatever. A bad design decision in some critical software can have just as much of an impact as a bad design decision in a bridge or an airplane. If we want to be called 'engineers' then we need to put more on the line than just a public apology when something goes wrong due to a decision someone actively made to save money or reduce the work involved. And of course it should involve the people who make those decisions and not just the grunt who implemented them.

But if the 'grunts' had the power to say 'no, I will not do this because it is insecure and my license is on the line' then that's a good thing. No?
Funniest comment in the entire thread. Spoken by someone who clearly has had to deal with MS for a long time.
Oh, I know. But the fate of 18F and Direct File are not directly connected.
I don't know either way. If they were politically driven (some of the screenshots seem to indicate that), then I hope that they can be replaced by a more neutral body.

I am also interested in the accusation of "viciously subverted Trump during his first term" and what that might be about. The fact that the Trump people went after them does lead some credence to it. Maybe it was some sort of big mistake though?

If it was not a mistake, and even if they were doing good work somehow, Federal employment is just not a place for political activism. That leads to a vicious money -> politics feedback system that destroys actual democracy.
Is there elsewhere?
Thanks for that!

Worth noting that EV aircraft flight segments are likely far shorter (100--500 km, maybe at a stretch 1,000 km, not the ~5,000 km of JFK->LAX), and cruise much slower (~100--300 knots, say), so climb-out would be a proportionately larger share of the energy budget.

And ditching 20% of your energy storage mass immediately on attaining altitude would still be a considerable savings for the remainder of the flight as that mass doesn't need to be kept aloft.

EV aviation (and aviation itself) is a battle of thin percentages. EV aviation itself has relied strongly on materials advances (advanced fibre composites), and reducing crew (ultimately: autonomous piloting). The need for cabin crew for safety reasons remains, and would be a significant hurdle. The extent to which non-revenue occupants and payload can be minimised likely plays a huge role in any eventual success. A 19% reduction is nothing to be sneezed at, if it can be achieved without significant other compromise.
The article warns about impending future inequality:

> Imagine two employees. One can afford these medications, the other cannot. One has regulated impulses, higher energy, better focus, and lower healthcare costs. The other doesn't. In a few years, data shows the first is three times more likely to be promoted.

> Scale that across society.

I'm not sure this is a reasonable worry. Ozempic is going out of patent in less than a year's time. There will be cheap generics all over the place. Purportedly the drug has a very low unit cost and uncomplicated manufacturing process, and every potential generic manufacturer knows it'll be a huge hit. That means we should expect it to rapidly become a commodity that's quite available.

If it really does cut food, alcohol, and cigarette costs so dramatically then I suspect a decent amount of poorer people would budget for the drug even if it didn't become cheap. It's not like poor people don't buy food, alcohol, or cigarettes today -- if it's a net savings and health/life improvement, it's even more worth buying than the alternative.
What’s the design update? This is only my second post…
I think remote work will continue to grow because it is so attractive to employees. It will just take time to be fully normalised and it is not available for every job.

As for mass transit, well, some countries just like 26-lane highways right through their cities. It is an ideological issue. Here in Europe I've seen a shift towards better public transport and cycling infrastructure, but that whole change will take time and won't be cheap.
It’s about control foremost. If you vendor your dependencies you know what you’re serving and can calculate the hash and use it in your CSP, and provides more stability for versioning.

Plus, as mentioned, only 1st party origins enjoy any benefits of caching content for faster load times so you get an additional benefit
See, you get it: if we want to know nothing, we can know nothing.

For all we know, Beezlebub Herself is holding Sam Altman's conciousness captive at the behest of Nadella. The deal is Sam has to go "innie" and jack up OpenAI costs 100x over the next year so it can go under and Microsoft can get it all for free.

Have you seen anything to disprove that? Or even casting doubt on it?
NOAA? They're consistently above average in forecast accuracy.

NOAA provides the basis for basically all weather prediction in the western hemisphere. Some companies are a lil better than others because they add onto NOAA and tweak their specific algos, but yeah ultimately weather prediction is only possible to the accuracy it is because of NOAA.
I spent a good while looking at the image on my phone trying to spot what the author was talking about, but ironically the comparison image itself is compressed (not using a NN ;) ) and that obscures the artifacts you're supposed to be looking at.

If you're looking for examples of ringing and hallucinated details, they're really obvious in the framed picture on the right on respectively the character's shirt and the frame.
I’m not saying it’s impossible for someone to invest inherited money, just that on average, the returns aren’t that significant and the money comes too late. I’m sure there are people who’s parents pass way early and they get a lot of money at 25

If we’re talking about an average population, the authors premise doesn’t make sense if you look beyond one generation. It sort of feels like the author is jealous of someone else’s inheritance, and wrote this article to complain about it.
China benefits either way it goes.
It goes both ways.

Innocent people can be genuine victims of lawfare, just as easily as guilty people can claim to be victims of lawfare.

The previous administration is widely regarded to have engaged in lawfare, so I would prefer to assume that their political rivals are innocent until proven otherwise, rather than guilty by default.
Yes, pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov (and parent nih.gov) appear down right now.

I do not know why.
I'm genuinely psyched about this. One of the few bits of Elisp I've ever written and used consistently was some goop to drive `hi-lock-mode`, which allows you to highlight arbitrary regexps --- I used it exclusively to highlight tokens. It was unreasonably effective for source code audits, being able to click a variable and then sweep through the code spotting everything that used it. But hi-lock is an afterthought of a package, and Tree-sitter isn't. Neat!
Odin. It's just too easy and fun.
As someone who has tried hallucinogens and suffers from panic disorder and bipolar disorder- you're correct. Whatever anyone here has to say about it seems deeply biased but for people like me, a bad trip can literally ruin your life.

The naivety and over optimism in this thread is astounding. People should understand this before they indicate that their friends just need to "get over it".
Sometimes I think it's a shame that modern democracies lost the original feature of classical Greek city-states -- exile by popular vote. Maybe this is us rediscovering the necessity for it.

Exiling Musk to the Moon or Mars (at his own cost) would be amusing.
Ask HN: Any advice for success you would give to a Software Developer intern?
I just started a developer internship a while ago. I am doing fine. My colleagues and mentor and manager all say that I am doing good and that I am meeting expectations fairly well.

However, I would like to go above and beyond and aspire to become a rockstar intern that they will remember fondly of as a contributor.

Any advice towards that end?
It's not really possible to say what's "best" because the criteria is super subjective.

I personally like the Spline family, and I default to Spline36 for both upscaling and downscaling in ffmpeg. Most people can't tell the difference between Spline36 and Lanczos3. If you want more sharpness, go for Spline64, for less sharpness, try Spline16.

Edit: As far as I'm aware though OpenCV doesn't have Spline as an option for resizing.
Is it Copium or just calling out deceptive claims? This article is two weeks old. By that time we already knew DeepSeek made exaggerated claims about their hardware (https://semianalysis.com/2025/01/31/deepseek-debates/). Now their post yesterday about profits also just has made up and misleading claims like “545%” with a bunch of asterisks around the numbers. They know these misleading claims will be repeated without the fine print.

As for nationalism and protectionism - no one wants to see the CCP, an aggressive authoritarian dictatorship, have access to any powerful technology. The world is correct to recognize that risk and do something about it.
> the check and balance within every branch is the law

“The law” is it enforced and interpreted by humans. And the fundamental axiom of the constitution is that nobody can be trusted. Do you think the framers went to all that trouble to create this tripartite system, and then assume that all three branches would be checked by unelected prosecutors? If what you said was true, why does the constitution not mention an attorney general that could enforce “the law?”
This isn't a real person you're counseling here. At least it's not a real worldview. Such a person that only now sheepishly is approaching a shift in perspective is an impossibility. There have been ample opportunities prior to this that have been much more horrendous and this person is presenting as if they interpreted all those things in an acceptable light. It's the Zeno's paradox of finally coming around - they pretend like they're getting closer and closer but they never arrive at the actual denunciation. I believe it's a rhetorical device to further cast doubt.
Keeping a bad process that no one likes is politically expedient for people who want there to be negative sentiments towards the IRS.
There will be election... But how?

- how many free media?
- will the queues be longer in some places?
- will Trump have money from all the big companies?
- Will some people have accidents?

Even Russia, Cuba and North Korea celebrate elections
So that's the other extreme end, and that would get repetitive for the people answering questions. Because in spite of the overzealousness of marking questions as duplicate from some people, some questions really do get asked over and over and over again.

Also: Stack Overflow is intended to be a long-term useful repository of question and answers. You enter "how do I frob a baz in foo?" in $search_engine, and the idea is you'll end up on Stack Overflow which answers that exact question. I have sometimes ended up on some of my own answers from years ago like this.
I think people get unhappy that their favorite language doesn’t have real GC and it becomes an extension of their language advocacy. Python didn’t have GC for a long time.
Syria rolled over because HTS improved the quality of life in Idlib. Ukraine resisted because russia turned donbas into a corrupt mafia state. People overlook the importance of the little things. Most people are fence sitters but are very aware of the facts on the ground.
This is unfortunate, but understood.

I worked in a university research spinout US-China multinational AI hardware startup, and (without getting into confidential information, but only speaking of general engineering practice) I can mention that both nations' government concerns could be barriers.

And some rules can be counterproductive for the one making the rule, even from a competitive perspective -- not even turning a win-win into a lose-lose, but turning it into a lose-win where you are the "side" who loses.

Another thing I'd like like to say, as a US person, who interfaced throughout the org chart at the multinational startup, is that my colleagues in China, as well as those who were recent immigrants, were generally very smart and knowledgeable, and also very nice people.

It's especially tragic when nations feel they have to act adversarily on tensions, because (as seen in this case) the respective individual citizens are not natural enemies, but rather, they are natural friends. They are also valuable fellow contributors, to the shared wealth of our shared world.

In recent weeks, the world is fortunate that DeepSeek has shared some of its AI advancements, even in the context of themselves being denied the latest hardware with which to work. I hope that this sharing will continue and increase, in all directions.
China could broaden the message to “tells anyone to o avoid U.S. travel...” and that would be right thing to do because of the far-right happening here now.
My hiring manager mates are seeing this in Australia too.

Sydney's beaches and weather helps a bit too.
when semaglutide and tirzepatide first came out, they were being synthesized in labs across the world for pennies per milligram, as with all compounds.
Why does the US still allow Chinese nationals to study at its universities and work at its companies? Seems like a big risk that cutting edge research and trade secrets will go to America’s main adversary. Industrial espionage by China has a long history, and China has more valuable things to steal from America than the other way.
It's an Obama legacy. You ingratiate yourself to the felon by destroying what he hates.
One qualifier is that even if a connection counts as "broadband" many national ISP like Comcast (Xfinity) put data transfer limits and 50 GB is 5% of my monthly limit. And if I go over I have to pay $10/50GB in chunks.

Not that this matters in the 'downloading' versus 'download then deleting' (streaming) debate. There the amount of data is the same and not having to re-download obviously makes not-streaming the winner.

Tangential: when I signed up in 2013 I actually had unlimited data transfer and paid $78/mo. Now in 2025 for the same plan and speeds I pay $113/mo and I have a data cap with fees. Comcast just decided on a whim they would not provide what I signed up for but since they're a megacorp they can. I have filed 2 FCC complaints about this but the FCC doesn't care. I'd switch but Comcast has been given a monopoly on local pole infrastructure and there are literally no other wired options (telco says 3 blocks from the switching center downtown is too far for dsl).
