It’s easy to prove that half is wrong as well because all the US’ (past) global friends are screaming at the US trying to save them from driving off the cliff. It’s one thing for the US to want to remake itself - gradual, cooperative plans to reduce engagement on the world stage over multiple years would have been something manageable.

Pulling the cord with such little respect will not be forgotten. The USD will be lucky to still be the reserve currency in 5-10 years time. The rest of the world is likely to sanction the US at this rate. It is violating all of its agreements in bad faith.
They are absolutely using 'fighter jets' for standoff munitions delivery. You probably have heard of Storm Shadow and JDAM-ER.

Even if this wasn't the case, they would still not be useless in that the firearms in your house aren't useless if you aren't actively shooting a home invader.

I don't see much reason to think mass layoffs are typically the result of over-hiring rather than a reaction to changing circumstances that are different than when the hiring originally happened. The article opens with a perfect example, the constriction of the US air travel market following 9/11. The people most airlines fired as a result weren't "over-hired". Their hiring made sense at the time and they were fired when circumstances changed. I'd argue this is likely more often be the case than actual over-hiring, since it's easier for a company to see if they can actually utilize new employees now than it is for them to predict the future.

In cases like that, the layoffs really do seem likely to be damaging to the companies. If circumstances change for a company and they can no longer effectively use all their employees, the most obvious solution is to get rid of employees, but it then makes it far more difficult to recover when positive opportunities present themselves. I think companies trick themselves into believing that since hiring and firing employees is relatively quick, it's a good tool to adapt to changing circumstances in either direction. But that ignores the time it takes for a new employee to become fully productive and the increased difficulty/cost in hiring new employees if your company has a reputation as an unreliable employer. It also ignores the potential boost to productivity that can come from employee loyalty and job satisfaction and security.
Seems like you can do this sort of speed up even without the 256 constraint. Just run this sped up version, but after each set of 256 iterations, dump all the 8-bit counters to the 64-bit final result.
Some are kind to eng ICs, you’re not laid off from the company just given time to join another team. As you can still be a high-performer with context on company culture/tech stack while on a non-revenue-generating team.
Actually we just want the war in Ukraine to end. Hope that helps.

There's a lot of bloviating from the chattering class about cozying up to Russia, but I've yet to hear a cogent alternative. And no, I don't think "endlessly funding Ukraine to a forever stalemate" qualifies.
Since cars don't need to cross water, maybe this isn't actually relevant. Uber aren't trying to model the planet, just the routes within the geographies they support.

I think you are making a fundamental mistake about how things work in a bad job market.

In a good job market, let's suppose you have a 10% chance of getting a job you apply for, and you're applying to 10 in this month. Then it's genuinely worth it to spend time and effort chasing those jobs, with "creativity" and "agency" as you put it. Because it's not a numbers game, you're genuinely looking for a good fit.

In a bad job market, let's suppose you have a 0.1% chance of getting a job you apply for. Therefore you apply to 1,000 this month, literally 30 a day. It is not rational to put "creativity" and "agency" into those applications, because it is almost guaranteed to be wasted effort. Because the bad job market makes it a numbers game.

You are making a judgment on people's character, when the reality is a simple question of economics or game theory. I hope you can gain some perspective and start seeing these job applicants with positive empathy rather than negative judgment. It's not about them not being self-directed -- it's about you having unrealistic expectations.

I see that you've gotten a lot of responses like this in the comments. I hope you're able to take it as an opportunity for learning and self-reflection -- there's some valuable stuff here for you, despite your post being flagged.
The article is written to give the reader the impression only the US can reprogram the jamming system and the comments seem to mostly be taking it at face value.

In the very Forbes article the OP's article cites it links to info about this F-16 reprogramming effort[1], showing it was collaboration between the US/Norway/Denmark and that the US electronic warfare team wasn't familiar with the system, yet within two weeks they say they managed to reprogram them to meet the initial deadline.

> The 68th EWS assembled a dedicated team comprised of a mixture of seasoned experts and bright, young engineers to approach the reprograming challenge. Their first task was to understand the unfamiliar EW system and how to reprogram it.

> Relying on data provided by Denmark and Norway, then adapting new processes and approaches to the usual process, the team was able to understand the system and start their work.

> After understanding the system, the 68th EWS deviated again from normal methods and sent its members overseas to a partner-nation lab to collaboratively develop and test the system alongside coalition teammates.

Living in Trump country doesn’t give you any extra credibility. I also live in “Trump Country” and say that the real reason is because they’re all goofs that fell into a personality cult due to the decline of US education and this country’s obsession with celebrity. Who is correct?

The author presented their opinion as broadly stroked general advice and in that context it is poor. And, specifically regarding database/sql, creating a bunch of pointers to scan values into for every query you write is the definition of insanity in all but the most performance sensitive applications. We're talking microseconds (or even nanoseconds in some instances) on an operation typically measured in milliseconds.
I sympathize, I really do. But I was a daily reader for a while and the ads on their mobile site were particularly brutal so I stopped visiting a while ago. I’ve since setup pi-hole and the site was probably viewable at that point, but I never ended up going back to reading daily. I’d probably have paid a monthly or annual subscription for an ad-free experience, but I also know that’s not as profitable.
You might be completely right - stocks have historically had famous crashes. But they've always recovered in time, because they represent ownership in productive businesses.

A great tool to see the exact numbers for stocks over the last 150 years is http://www.moneychimp.com/features/market_cagr.htm The main takeaway is they fluctuate a lot, so if you need a guaranteed profit in 10 years they're not for you. But if you'll probably leave your money in 20 years, you'll probably double or quadruple your buying power by the end. That risk is why index ETFs with a retirement target year in the name shift your porfolio to treasury bonds, as the target year approaches.

There's a lot of people in your camp that think the stock market's a bubble. And there's a lot of people in the camp that AI is going to become a multiplier on the GDP, warranting further growth. And all these ideas are priced in.

I'm young with high risk tolerance so I'm still 100% stocks. But I still advise people to manage their own portfolio and just choose their ratio of index funds to treasury bond, according to risk tolerance. The tickers I'd use are VTI for stocks (risky but averaged 9.3% for 150 years) and VUSTX for treasury bonds (4.3%). Buying those two things is super simple - no manager siphoning off 0.5% (i.e. 10-15% by retirement) needed.
And given the topic let's not forget Trump, Putin, Musk et al if we're following the above logic.
Not just small European countries, but all European countries that do not have their own nukes, which is all except France. The issue is, they’ll have to leave the Non-Proliferation Treaty for that (except for the UK, I think), and once an otherwise respected country does that, the floodgates would be open in the world. The other problem is that such a decision would be very divisive in the European country’s electorate, and therefore highly problematic on its domestic political front. This is simply not likely to happen.

A more realistic outcome is that French nukes will be stationed in other European countries. But France is also not willing to give up exclusive control over those nukes, and the next French government could very well be far-right, and thus become as unreliable as the current US government. It’s a difficult situation.
You can use the assembler you want for standalone assembly files which is why I referenced build.rs. In inline assembly you will always be using the one assembler Rust supports on that platform.
That's a pretty low bar though. OK, it's one step up from a monetized YouTube video that boils down to "It works--Trust me, bro." I still wouldn't really call it citizen science.
Show HN: Created an app that auto-translates your app on pull request with AI
Hi all,

Had a problem at a job I'm working at - the translations always took a lot of time.
Decided to use LLMs to translate the app instead of human translators.

How it works?
1. Sign in via GitLab (GitHub coming soon)
2. Select repository
3. Select source file
4. Select target languages

Whenever you make a change to the source file in a Merge / Pull request, Repo Translate pushes a commit to the same branch with the source file translated to target languages.

"Companies who enact them as part of a broader change in strategy, Cascio says, fare better than those who enact them simply to cut costs."

Economic sanctions alone would be enough - notice how Trump pauses shooting at our collective feet every time Wall Street reacts negatively? – but also note that our adventures in the Middle East failed after trillions of dollars because it’s much easier to blow things up than it is to build stable countries. A far less competent crew is not going to sway civilians more effectively and I doubt that they’re going to convince many Americans to personally help colonize Greenland.
That is extremely misguided take.

Fighter jets are extremely valuable, they are not a magic weapon though, but just one of the very important tool for the military to have.

I like this syntax. It's like saying "give me all the members of this object". Kind of like using full-slice [:] in Python to copy a list's values instead of passing by reference.
(Didn’t read the entire thing). I assume stability here means that big changes in Russian society and big changes in its stated ideology occur with more independence than more-transparent Western states.

Looking at this in terms of a powdered-wig upper class with negotiable access to control defies the siloviki narrative of Russian history. We’re all wondering what collective leadership will execute Putin’s plans for succession.

The point of passive investing and a balanced strategy is that you can’t predict what will happen. So, yes, the past five years were good for VTSAX. But if you’re investing today, then it’s the next five years that matter, not the past five years, and nobody can predict what will happen.

(Well, to be more accurate, some fund managers will predict correctly, but you can’t predict which ones. Just like you know ~50 out of 100 coins will land heads, but you can’t predict which ones, not even if you choose the one that landed heads in the last 6 throws.)
This aligns with my experience. I've seen LLMs produce "code" that the person requesting is unable to understand or debug. It usually almost works. It's possible the person writing the prompt didn't actually understand the problem, so they got a half baked solution as a result. Either way, they need to go to a human with more experience to figure it out.
Definitely both. "Malicious stupidity" keeps repeating itself in my head every time I read anything about this administration.

The first time around his stupidity made him accidentally staff the Whitehouse with people who have integrity like Mattis and Kelly. Which helped limit the damage he could do. Which helped him maintain his electability.

This time around he knows better than to hire anyone who has a shred of decency if he wants to be unconstrained. So this term is already shaping up to be much more damaging than the last.

I hope that after he's done wrecking everything and the true consequences of his ways are plainly visible that his ideas and attitude will become taboo, but I'm not holding my breath. So far his base has been impervious to reality.
When google hit 51%+ of market share in search/mail (back in like 2005) they began to just fund "internet access" in general. They assumed that new users would put more money into googles pockets than other peoples pockets. Virtuous revenue circle.

Nowadays (post Omni-bar), one could argue that "the internet" is really a captive portal from g-browser, g-omnibar, g-search results, g-renderer with "content" being significantly funded by g-ads (of which a significant portion of _that_ is returned to google for search placement).

Take away "any browser at all" and does google then ship "Google Electron, powered by Google" that strips the Omni-bar and is a desktop client / portal into g-search, g-docs, etc... and then close off access to Google apps unless through the Google client?

You can't book uber without the uber client, why are you able to use Google without the google client?

Provide a read-only HTML4.0 version to plebes with lots of popovers and banners saying: "for the best experience..."

It's an interesting thought experiment, letting "the internet" lie fallow as each proprietary database attempts to accrue more content...
Thanks, I hate this
Not to mention cooking show hosts often recommend or outright sell/endorse their tools.
The exploit here is that you can reprogram new firmware onto the device.

The reason it's not important is that you require a physical connection to the target device. The exact same type of connection you use to program firmware in the first place.

The "backdoor" is just that there's now one additional way to program firmware with a physical connection to the chip. The only issue is it was never documented.

There's no potential for exploitation here. If you have physical access to a real serial port on one of these chips, you cab load your own firmware. That's it. That's the entire exploit.

It's meaningless nothing. It really only matters at all if you care about blocking unauthorized firmware updates over a wired serial connection. If you do care, there are options aplenty.
Right. The only N that you can draw any conclusions about is the author himself. So, why even publish it? The "results" are not applicable to anyone reading it. This is the health version of the software industry's "It works on my system!"
Tariffs are an inefficiency that lowers profits and raises the cost of goods but they also create manufacturing jobs which benefit the working class. That's my mental model- I'm not an economist. I also strongly disagree with the tariffs on Canada and Mexico and almost all of the current policy decisions. There might be a method to the tariffs madness though is all that I'm saying.

This site, Gwern, is really fascinating but I found it initially rather difficult to navigate and understand.

I do wish the author had provided a clear, layperson conclusion/results portion for each nootropic. For example, having read the section on fish oil, I still haven’t grasped whether the author observed positive results or not. Perhaps he is being rightfully cautious in drawing conclusions?
Great points, thank you. I’ll check out that video.

Aircraft carriers were always a joke in a US vs. Soviet conflict. A carrier will help with third-world enemies that cannot threaten it. However, the Soviet Union had capable submarine forces as well as ship-launched (e.g. from Kirov class cruisers) as well as air-launched anti-ship missiles which in numbers can overwhelm the carriers air defense screen.

In WW3 the role of an aircraft carrier is to launch its airplanes exactly once, before it is sunk.
Since the Trump administration took over, Tesla shares and Musk’s wealth are up by hundreds of billions, tens of thousands of working class are fired, prices are up, tariffs are making imports more expensive, welfare help programs are cut, retaliatory tariffs are reducing exports.

Sometimes one word is enough to explain something, I had no problems understanding that, and the rest of the comments indicate that too, so it was probably not a "shallow expression" like you claim it to be.

I agree that "you're that experienced here and you didn't understand that" isn't necessarily kind. But that comment is clearly an expression of frustration from someone who is passionate about something, and responding in kind could lead to a more fruitful discussion. "Shallow", "cheapen", are very unkind words to use in this context, and the intent I see in your comment is to hurt someone instead of moving the discussion and community forward.
Nah it's just the easiest and most reliable way. Usually anyway; sometimes you have extreme timing or space constraints and can't even use that. On microcontrollers I sometimes have to resort to GPIO debug outputs and I've worked on USB audio drivers where printf isn't an option.
Yes, but he said that in the context of buying American products. He wanted the American economy to benefit from arms sales, not a more independent Europe.
There is absolutely no rational reason for the US to align itself with Russia at the cost of its relationship with Europe.
I think they might have been helped along a little by things like being occupied, becoming economically and militarily reliant on their occupiers and watching all of their leaders face judgement at the Nuremberg Trials.

Things haven't gotten quite so extreme in the US yet but it feels reductive to suggest that they can just have a flip flop election and that will show they "realised the error of their ways" like Germany did post WW2.
Yes, exactly.

I'm beginning to think that being somewhat reined in by the Republican establishment in his first term, a weakness that the MAGA-crowd sought to correct, ultimately worked in his favor in protecting him from his poor instincts.

It's like he doesn't understand that trust and reliability have a real, tangible value. That's simply a misjudgment. Maybe he actually believes that America is so exceptionally strong that any sort of cooperation ultimately works against it?

It's terribly sad and depressing frankly. A small part of me still has hope that this is going to end badly, in that it turns into a useful lesson, but not badly enough to cause lasting damage. I might be naive.

The US killing trust in its export of arms is definitely a new phenomenon. It breaks with +80 years of policy.

All startups in SV will now have to consider if they will have an export market at all.

Which non-US companies would now like to be dependent on whatever export restrictions that Trump might make up in the future?
