I spent two weeks there, during the commissioning of the Green Bank Telescope (GBT). Our team was designing the monitor and control system for an upgrade for another NRAO telescope, the Very Large Array in New Mexico. The team from the GBT led us through their design during the day; our nights sleeping in the on-site dormitory, complete with the break room where Frank Drake came up with his Drake Equation estimating the number of extraterrestrial civilizations...

Those old diesel trucks!

The GBT is so big, it's just wrong. Experiencing the forest moon of Endor, in real life.

(The single-dish GBT is sensitive to near-field RFI, whereas the multi-dish Very Large Array is a bit more tolerant. The VLA isn't restricted to antiquated diesel vehicles. Although they do ask visitors to power off cell phones and refrain from any microwave ovens that RVs might bring in.)
Rumsfeld once wrote:

"If you had been a security policy-maker in the world’s greatest power in 1900, you would have been a Brit looking warily at your age-old enemy, France.

By 1910, you would be allied with France and your enemy would be Germany.

By 1920, World War I would have been fought and won, and you’d be engaged in a naval arms race with your erstwhile allies, the U.S. and Japan.

By 1930, naval arms limitation treaties were in effect, the Great Depression was underway, and the defense planning standard said “no war for ten years.”

Nine Years later World War II had begun.

By 1950, Britain no longer was the world’s greatest power, the Atomic Age had dawned, and a “police action” was underway in Korea.

Ten years later the political focus was in the “missile gap”, the strategic paradigm was shifting from massive retaliation to flexible response, and few people had heard of Vietnam.

By 1970, the peak of our involvement in Vietnam had come and gone, we were beginning détente with the Soviets, and we were anointing the Shah as our protégé in the Gulf region.

By 1980, the Soviets were in Afghanistan, Iran was in the throes of revolution, there was talk of our “hollow forces” and a window of vulnerability”, and the U.S. was the greatest creditor nation the world had seen.

By 1990, the Soviet Union was within a year of dissolution, American forces in the Desert were on the verge of showing they were anything but hollow, the U.S. had become the greatest debtor nation the world had ever known, and almost no one had heard of the internet.

Ten years later, Warsaw was the capital of a NATO nation, asymmetric threats transcended geography, and the parallel revolutions of information, biotechnology, robotics, nanotechnology, and high density sources foreshadowed changes almost beyond forecasting.

All of which is to say that I’m not sure what 2010 will look like, but I’m sure that it will be very little like what we expect, so we should plan accordingly."

.

We can take this retelling of how unpredictably great power politics can shift over time as a lesson to avoid ruling out things that seem inconceivable. As America experiments with the latest variation of isolationism I see a scenario that seems inconceivable as an increasing possibility.

In big power politics Europe has a good card to play: they could hand over physical instances of the F-35, Patriot, THAAD and a few choice others (and schematics, documents, any keys they've got) to China in exchange for China flipping from Russia to Europe (and Ukraine). This would make a world where two previously-unthinkable grand alliances dominate the news.

Of course, in the case of a world where there exists a North America-Russia power bloc in a cold war with a Europe-China power bloc, one of the two alliances would have all of the LNG and the other would have no LNG, so maybe Europe can see that already and will never initiate the flip.
There are so many Financial podcasts and analysts that feel like this is all a nothing burger and the US will just keep on plugging along. Prof G seems to think everything will be ok, Tom Lee, The Compound, etc. All are in the camp that everything is going to be fine, just a speedbump because the USA is just to big to feel anything. Markets will continue to climb, the bull market is still chugging away. Nothing to worry about. Don't agree but what do I know compared to these guys...

getyarn.io is the clip site I've seen. https://nestflix.fun/ is for movies within movies, not sure if that's what you're referring to by subplots thought.
Yeah, that was the situation until 2023. This market is absolutely brutal and there's no guarantee of an offer in 6+ months, even for roles you'd get in a month.

I wanted to be a "lifer" (you don't build expertise jumping jobs every 2 years) but I more or less knew going into games that that was never going to truly be the case. But this bad market only amplifies the issues.
I think this is a popular but unrealistic take based on real observation.Real observations being. Increase friendliness towards Russia. Decrease friendliness towards Europe/canada. Don’t confuse inflection points with the actual position.
That’s a pretty insane take that ignores decades of actual history.
"matching" is exactly how we do DNA sequencing right now. The current technology is called next generation sequencing (NGS), we multiply the DNA and perform matching digitally to construct the full DNA.

>The difference between Go and Java is that in Go a type need not declare its adherence to an interface up front.

Go can't declare adherence up front, and in my view that’s a problem. Most of the time, explicitly stating your intent is best, for both humans reading the code and tools analyzing it. That said, structural typing has its moments, like when you need type-safe bridging without extra boilerplate.
> None of the above makes any of the tools worth $30/mo per user.

Are you sure? Doesn't the tool just have to save the user less than an hour a month for it to break even?

Yeah this is the positive side of the double-edged sword of frameworks.

Without Spring, you would have every team rebuilding the database layer in 100 different ways. With 100 shoddy attempts at documentation.

So for better or worse, having one framework-standard way to interact with the database, modify headers, or do any number of standard tasks makes life easier even if it enshrouds the underlying system in abstraction and layering.
your typical satellite modem will have an RF interface either somewhere between 70 to 140 MHz (where it's intended to be upconverted/downconverted by the LNB and BUC/SSPA at the antenna), or somewhere between 1100 to 1900 MHz, both intended for attachment to low loss coaxial cables. This works fine if you're putting the modem fairly close to the LNB and BUC/SSPA. If it needs to be a hundred meters away or something, it's a lot of RF loss, and path loss/link budgets in geostationary satellite are already hard enough without introducing any more loss at the ground side.

It's not that trivial:

The wrapping version uses vpandn + vpaddb (i.e. `acc += 1 &~ elt`). On Intel since Haswell (2013) on ymm inputs that can manage 1.5 iterations per cycle, if unroll 2x to reduce the dependency chain.

Whereas vpsadbw would limit it to 1 iteration per cycle on Intel.

On AMD Zen≤2, vpsadbw is still worse, but Zen≥3 manages to have the two approaches be equal.

On AVX-512 the two approaches are equivalent everywhere as far as uops.info data goes.

> He also believed very strongly in good marketing, and he jumped on privacy marketing very quickly after the Facebook - Google privacy spat that coincided with the failure of iTunes Ping.

I have two thoughts about this.

One, if you tell yourself a story strongly enough, it becomes real. Especially when you can structure the company to force it to become real.

Two, "marketing" is usually used disparagingly to mean something like "advertising that brainwashes customers into wanting something", but it's more like "knowing what people are going to want by the time it's ready to ship". It doesn't necessarily even include advertising. So in this case people do want privacy.
You could have made similar arguments for VR/AR, yet here we are.

i own a tesla and range is very annoying, though some of the comments here are a bit sensationalist. for me, fsd more than makes up for it. if i had to buy a car today, i'd have to get another tesla because there's no alternative to fsd.
Ants exhibit rather complex first-aid behavior in response to wounded nest-mates (amputating mangled limbs, coating wounds in anti-microbial secretions, carrying the victim off to safety, feeding the wounded ant while it recuperates) so it shouldn't be all that surprising that the comparatively huge brains of mice are capable of similar pro-social behaviors. The inner emotional lives of mice are as you say likely to be much richer than the average person gives them credit for.
This is pretty cool. What are the use cases?
I could easily be wrong about this but I don't believe Jobs or anyone else at Jobs-era Apple became a billionaire because of it. Because of early infighting/getting fired, ownership was too dispersed for that.

He became a billionaire because Disney bought Pixar.
Deciding the best course of action in the interest of others is different from letting go of power and allowing people to collectively make decisions that might go against your own view of what is in their best interest. Without making a judgement I'd call the latter democracy but not the first.

In this distinction there were no references to procedures or rituals, so it cannot only be a question of that.

For the record, this design pattern is called a virtual method table, or vtable.

I'm surprised that this article never mentioned the term.

I think that's called "trickle down economics"? Which I don't think anyone believes any more is actually a viable thing. People have realised "money makes money". You give the rich more money/less tax, they just get richer at the expense of the less rich.
hehe, it's a good question. When you get to scale, you realize you got there because a lot of humans put you there. It's part of why scaling is hard, business is an art and science that juggles the value exchange between us in society. People still here on hackernews are angry at me personally for decisions at digitalocean, in retrospect, I wish I'd handled the wipe disk thing that happened better, for example. It's both very easy and very difficult at the same time to build a business while trying super hard to love (really actually love as humans love!!!) your customer because many many things want to prevent you from loving your customer (I have government stories too, many of us do). At the end of the day, they are doing the real work, like, the real real stuff, they don't have to, I mean, they don't right? But they will, because it's the right thing to do, because Steve said so. apple here, have taken extraordinary engineering effort to say even if you compel us, we physically can’t give you access to their diary. That is to be commended, and that, is Steve Jobs.

>In Buch v. Amory Manufacturing Co., the defendant had no obligation to save a child from crushing his hand in a manufacturing machine.

He was a “ruthless savage and a moral monster,” but legally he did not have to save that baby.

He's definitely misunderstood. If you read his biography it's incredible how much the author of it misunderstands, but if you read between the lines you can see through them. In particular you should note how he changes before and after getting married.

The biography is really awful though. It constantly misquotes people - Bill Gates is directly quoted as saying something so technically inaccurate he can't possibly have said it.

I also remember that every time his son is quoted it's because he was telling a dick joke. At one point the book claims this is why Apple Park is a circle. Why the author did this is not clear to me.

(Btw, I have an unreported Jobs story about this myself. Actually two. I'm not going to tell them, so feel free to just imagine.)

We don't let the billionaires suck of 90% of the revenue, that's how. Them making 10% of their current salaries stock would still have them well well into retirement.

Oh, and not doing 2 trillion in tax cuts for the rich would help.
You don't need to worry. MS and Meta both have very healthy revenue streams, and billions of cash lying around. Their current loans are easily covered.

As much as the markets love to talk about investment values, and valuations, this really means very little. A lot of the investment is in kind, not cash, and the marginal cost of the kind is often a tiny fraction of the marginal cost.

Bailouts to US auto manufacturers occurred because they were both unprofitable and loaded with debt they could not pay for. Ditto the bank bailouts of 2008.

MS paid billions for Skype and billions more for Nokia. Nokia (windows phone) died soon, Skype will be turned off this May. Neither caused a stir, when your cash on hand is measured in tend of billions big investments are not risky.
I feel like I'm straddling the fence a bit on this topic.

When it comes to some personal projects, I've written a slew of them since AI coding tools got quite good. I'm primarily a backend developer, and while I've done quite a bit of frontend dev, I'm relatively slow at it, and I'm especially slow as CSS. AI has completely removed this bottleneck for me. Often times if I'm coding up a frontend, I'll literally just say "Ok, now make it pretty with a modern-looking UI", and it does a decent job, and anything I need to fix is an understandable change that I can do quickly. So now I'll whip up nice little "personal tool" apps in literally like 30 mins, where in the past I would have spent 30 mins just trying to figure out some CSS voodoo about why it's so hard to get a button centered.

But in my job, where I also use AI relatively frequently, it is great for helping to learn new things, but when I've tried to use it for things like large scale, repo-wide refactorings it's usually been a bit of a PITA - reviewing all of the code and fixing it's somewhat subtle mistakes often feels like it's slower than doing it myself.

It that sense, I think it's reasonable to consider AI like a competent junior developer (albeit at "junior developer" level across every technology ever invented). I can give a junior developer a "targeted" task, and they usually do a good job, even if I have to fix something here or there. But when I give them larger tasks that cross many components or areas of concern, that's often where they struggle mightily as well.

This doesn't make much sense to me. Is there some reason a kid today can't still learn to code? In the contrary, you have LLMs available that can answer your exact personalized questions. It's like having a free tutor. It's easier than it's ever been to learn for free.

Idk about "noble" specifically, but fulfilling and meaningful yes. "Solving" a real world problem isnt the only reason I code. It might be why im paid for it, but I enjoy coding and get fulfillment from it.

I recently interviewed a very pro-ai dev who's last position listed 'architect' and was stunned at how limited their knowledge seemingly was. I didnt have a coding question prepared because i assumed we could have a higher level 'architecture'-oriented chat but they had seemingly nothing to contribute... Thankfully another interviewer had a simple coding challenge prepared, which filtered the candidate out.

Long story short, i wonder if the folks who.genuinely enjoy coding are going to be the only remaining skilled technologists after the rest make themselves obsolete by overly depending on these tools, regardless of how good they supposedly are.

Those who "dislike Musk" usually cannot come up with any solid example of what he has done to deserve the hate. It's ironic that the guy loved by the left for the EV / green energy a few years ago is suddenly the most hated figure because he chose to expose government fraud and wastes, and decided to switch off the gravy train for politicians / NGO spider web.
Yes; I was cleared to the level required (but not need to know) and the visit was approved by his (the base) CO. He was stationed there as a Crypto Tech, and though I couldn't see the really neat underground stuff I was mostly free above ground as long as I was chaperoned by him. He gave me quite the tour.

The gazebos are there due to the underground facilities, yes. There is likely a whole lot more than even you realized.

As for my impressions: I was a Security Manager for a more operational side of the Navy for years (later). I informed a lot of my edge case thinking with what I saw of how they handled things there. I don't know that I really want to go into more detail than that.

After reading this, I tried Claude Code (in a docker container, as one does, you wouldn't want to use npm without protection after all).

I gave it a huge Clojure codebase and told it to implement proration in my subscription system. Which currently doesn't have proration of any kind. Very poorly specified task, and yet what I got was really quite good — not working, ready-to-run code, but certainly a great starting point.

I was impressed by how it was able to follow my coding conventions, interface with my Stripe library to (correctly) create and confirm payment intents, and most importantly, by the `calculate-proration-amount` function which was correct in spite of how difficult it was (there are custom plans, plan overrides, extra users, etc).

It is the first time I felt an AI coding tool is genuinely useful. I still think you need to set expectations correctly: this doesn't "just do stuff", it is not a human programmer and will not produce flawless ready-to-run code in most cases. But it's a very good tool.
