It's probably related to the size of the company. Most of the companies I've worked for in the past have been between 50-200 employees across the entire org. The dev teams were usually around a 10-20 people and the director of R&D often encouraged us (the devs) to recommend new hires. They still had to pass through HR but it was more of a formality and the director had the proverbial majority vote.

Smaller teams are also more tight-knit so recommending a new potential dev wasn't a matter of process - it was literally head down a few doors and have a chat with the director.

I'm sure it's significantly different for huge enterprises where even the teams within the R&D department are heavily siloed.
Seems like BCPL should get a mention too
I find the concept that the left is pulling this nazi stuff of their ass to a bad problem with anyone out there defending it. If someone accused me of giving a nazi salute, and then the nazis high five each other in the internet, I’d be releasing a statements that this was a complete misunderstanding. Nazi’s are losers and can fuck off.

Then there wouldn’t even be room for this. But the man keeps finding himself questionable close to nazi adjacent shit far too often. It might be for lulz, but don’t be surprised when consumers back off your products.

> when has The Military Industrial Complex acted in my / our best interest?

[Not a US citizen/resident; never worked in MIC-related area]

a). MIC is an industrial sector creating jobs, doing some R&D (which can trickle down into the civilian sector) and bringing hundreds of billions they do in exports into country; all of those seem benefitial for the overall economy. Of course those can be achieved in non-military-related areas, but so far there was a working machine - and a wrench is already thrown into the gears.

b). The last three years have shown that large-scale wars are still on the table and having a working and oiled MIC is much better than having a degraded one.
Also I'd argue that a lack of layoffs at a company probably causes stagnation and inefficiency. I don't thin the only good argument for layoffs is that a company has no choice because of cash flows.

I see this in the public sector where you often find people who have been working at the same dept for a decade or more. These people feel very safe and know they don't really need to try that hard. They also know nothing about how things function elsewhere so they'll put up with using spreadsheets and fax machines because that's just how they've always done things.

It seems rather obvious to me that a good economy is one where employers feel some nervousness about losing good employees, so offer pay rises and perks; And where employees feel some nervousness about layoffs so work hard and try to be as productive as they reasonably can be.

If a company is not cutting a few percentage of their least productive workers each year they're probably doing something wrong imo. I think it's far to argue big tech companies built up a lot of these under productive workers over the years.
My high school chemistry teacher claimed that tea and coffee each have different isomers of caffeine and people may be sensitive to one both or none. This was pre internet and some quick googling seems to debunk this claim in that caffeine has no isomers. Though the same searching seems to indicate that there is a likelihood other compounds mitigate or exacerbate its effects.

The BL808 does use a 32-bit core for the secondary core, but the SG2000 series uses the same 64-bit C906 core for both RISC-V cores. The only difference is the reduced clock speed and a lack of vector extensions.

He has way more money than he needs to buy essentially anything. Quadrupling his net worth would have pretty much zero impact on him at this point.

I’m surprised this was flagged despite the very civil discussions.
This is exactly correct. There is a long walk between working ISA and a high performance device that can sustain high IPC. Alibaba has the C930 now, only a few day ago. There are no credible performance figures on it yet, but they've made fast server grade ARMs, so they know how to build high performance CPUs. Then, as you say, there is Tenstorrent and Keller.

Can "Europe" achieve anything here? Anything is possible, I suppose... But given the players already at it, Europe is already way behind the curve.

> That's surprising to me, considering that coffee is quite addictive.

I'm not sure that it really is. You can build a physical dependence to caffeine, but in my experience there's no mentally addictive component. For a period of time I drank a lot of coffee and then stopped cold turkey, and the only effect was a couple days of physical unpleasantness. I now limit my coffee consumption to a max of one cup per day, and have no issues switching between coffee/decaf/no coffee on any particular day or for any arbitrary period of time.

Not a big deal. Coffee is not a necessity. The coffee monoculture is devastating for the environment. Most small coffee farmers and plantation workers don't earn a livable income. Only 10% of the retail price of coffee goes to farmers. The whole industry is exploitative.

Don’t drink coffee. It’s that easy.
> This means that no country will want to buy F16s.

This is just HNers being late to the party.

Back in the 1990s, the US blocked sale of F-16s to Indonesia due to human rights concerns (eventually worked out).[0] Thailand has F-16s but more recently switched procurement to Swedish Gripens, partly to avoid reliance on a single combat aircraft supplier. Thailand also does bilateral training with PLAAF (Chinese Air Force), and their F-16s are apparently barred from participating. [1] There are rumors Egypt is switching from F-16s to Chinese J-10s, largely because the US refuses to sell Egypt modernizations and air-to-air missiles that would make them competitive against the Israeli Air Force.[2] The move away from the US as a combat aircraft supplier has been building steam for decades now. In the past there simply weren't many options competitive with the F-16 (both affordable and capable), but that's not the case in 2025.

> This is going to have a massive effect on the US economy, internal consumption will not save it.

I guess this really is the question: what is the expected overall quality of life for the average American when our continent-sized economy is largely functioning under conditions of autarky? The US's imports and exports are lower in 2023 than they were in 1913. Even in 1913 the US had the world's largest GDP (but not GDP/capita, was still much lower than the UK's at the time).

Then they should write "focuses on fast, modern, and correct", not "written in Rust". There are plenty of strategies (such as programming languages) that lead to those outcomes.

This is a $20k/year savings. Perhaps, I'm not aware of the pricing in the Indian market (where this startup is), but that simply doesn't seem like a good use of time.

Yes.

Electric cars are getting simpler. Lithium-iron-phosphate batteries are safer. BYD has an "E-axle" kit, where motor, axle, and differential are a single unit. That goes with a power electronics box and battery.[1] Talks CANbus to the controls. Plug everything together and put a body on top, and you have a car. Or a truck.

EVs from all manufacturers are getting much cheaper. Margins are decreasing. This is a big problem for Tesla, with their grossly inflated stock price. Musk liked to say that Tesla investors are not investing in a car company, they are betting on Tesla's technology. What technology? Tesla is way behind Waymo in self-driving. There are at least four other humanoid robots as good as Tesla's, none profitable. Tesla is nowhere in solid-state batteries.

Rivian is outselling all other US makers in electric pickup trucks. Rivian's truck is not weird, like the Cybertruck, and it seems to be a decent pickup truck, although overpriced. I see them being driven around, often being used to do truck things, not just car things.

Even in the US, with protectionism keeping BYD out, Tesla isn't doing that well any more.

I'm looking for predictive economic models out in the open. I want to see the underlying assumptions and experiment. I'm not even picky about the kind of model: it could be a relatively simple linear regression model, a systems dynamics model, a complex simulation, or anything in-between. I just want models to a focal point of discussion rather than some poorly-explained textual interpretation.

I know... I'm asking for too much... this is usually proprietary stuff, so people are reluctant to share. But I want to live in a world where sensible people can compare models of what might happen. We don't have to necessarily agree on the assumptions or results. But we could at least be open about why we predict various outcomes. That would be better foundation that how we do things now, which is really embarrassing for a world with our capabilities.

Eventually, I want to live in a world where we have sensible discussions about our predictions and about which outcomes are more and less favorable.

P.S. If you are building a product or startup doing this, let me know. Or let everyone know. I built a product in this general area many years ago, but I didn't find product-market fit. Anyhow, I just want modeling tools like this to exist; I don't care who makes them.

P.P.S. I'm very intentionally not bringing in my political philosophy nor level of personal concern here. To be open, I am personally affected, as are many of my friends, but I want to find some kind of common ground that doesn't make this about my particular take on the overall situation.

That's exactly what "they" said: "the idea that men should be able to defend themselves (and others) is harming society".

I think he already answered that question long ago.
China has a tendency to self-destruct every 300-400 years. The interesting thing is that many regions of the globe have a tendency to self-destruct every 300-400 years. Europe had major continent-wide cataclysms with WW1/2 in the 1900s; the Wars of Religion in the early 1600s; and the Hundred Years War + Black Death + Mongol Conquests in the 1300s. The Holy Roman Empire lasted from about 900 AD to around 1300 AD. The Roman Republic lasted about 500 years; the Roman Empire lasted another 400-500.

I think the logic might be that China just had their civilization-ending cataclysm, and so they're on the upswing now. Ditto Europe. This is probably not the end of the United States either, more like the Crisis of the 3rd Century. But it's just as logical to look back on the 400-year cycle and think "Better invest in the countries that have already had their crisis and dealt with it than ones that are starting to decay internally" than to look back on the last 75 years and think "Wow, that was chaotic, the next 75 years will be equally chaotic."
I think we should definitely invest in RISC-V, open is preferable, especially in a continent-wide initiative. I’m just contesting that the US could unilaterally sabotage ARM use in Europe.

It’s also not the same kind of stress. I’ve interviewed many a candidate who were sweating and/or shaking at some point of the interview (with heavy reassurance and me trying to to steer the conversation towards and area where they feel stronger), but they can often end up being calm and reliable alert responders nonetheless. So far I’ve seen very little if any correlation between being able to handle interview stress and on-call stress.
The money being 'saved' is a drop in the bucket in the federal budget. This is performative, a dog and pony show, and will be used to justify unfunded tax cuts that will drive up the deficit. It's the same Santa Claus policies we always see when these people are in power: all the promised fiscal discipline goes out the window and a giveaway to their donors ensues.

The only way to really drive down federal spending is to attack the source of the problem: the regulatory capture of government by the health care system. Medicare is the elephant in the room, and due to the regulatory capture the lobotomized government won't use its negotiating power to keep the costs in check. It's a massive wealth transfer from taxpayers to the health care system.

I’ll go on the unpopular limb and say that anyone seriously considering the fact that any mainstream persona intentionally did a «Nazi» thing has been consuming too much traditional, commercial media who almost by definition thrives on controversy and clicks. Their core interest is not in facts or honest reporting.

I don’t think HN is the most appropriate place for such discussions, but if anyone seriously wants to accuse Elon Musk of being a «Nazi», I would kindly request that they first define what they mean by that word in 2025, because to me that is honestly not very obvious.

He’s pro Israel and want less government regulation. I’m no expert, but to me that seems anti-Nazi?

I think the "don't have an exit interview" advice isn't applicable everywhere. Where I work, we would really like the feedback if you're leaving, so we know what to improve.
