That might tie back to Elon’s antics. Tesla seems to be mostly leaderless since Elon decided that his mission was pushing right-wing populism instead of sustainable transportation and Mars.
Putin is holding his power because he set himself up as the final arbiter in conflicts between powerful "clans". This is largely unofficial power, that he holds personally (not due to institutions).

He is preventing anyone else from gaining similar levels of influence. For example, Mishustin's power was cut down by the changes Putin pushed into the Constitution in 2020.

Side note, this situation is 100% typical for autocracies. And once the autocrat dies, the country very often descends into chaos, simply because there are no institutions that are capable of resolving conflicts between groups without violence. Example: Libya.

> How does this work, though? Every company I've worked for has an HR system, and resumes flow through it, and there's a set process. If I have worked with a candidate in the past and highly recommend them, all I can do is submit their resume into the great void and check a box "Recommend

I haven't worked for any massive companies with thousands of employees where there might be a lot of bureaucracy, but the few I've worked for ranged from ~100-700 and it was pretty easy to get interviews for referrals. One of my employers encouraged referrals and offered bonuses if it led to a hire.

There is a freaking video. There is no "exaggeration" or possibility of it being false. The video shows he clearly did a Nazi salute.
In Germany, it sure didn’t help that the 2024 TüV report says that 14% of Tesla Model 3s fail their first inspection, which is done when the car is 2/3 years old (VW is at 3,5 - 7%).

My last car, a Ford Focus, passed the inspections on the first try for 13 years in a row

No drone can take out a CRAM (aka: RADAR aimbot shooting bullets into the sky).

Meanwhile, a helicopter with an anti-radiation missile can take out CRAM, let alone a stealth F35. F35 (and F16) are the next step after helicopters: you send F35 when enemy antiair is good enough to threaten helis.
This is perfect. Especially the fact that 1) it never ends, and 2) you eventually figure out that the best way to get a promotion is not to be faster of more efficient but the exact opposite - delay ending the current task, and keep making it larger, until the next one comes along. Beautiful.
DOGE savings is only a tiny percent of the tax cuts cost. The truth is the tax cuts are going to be paid for with debt.
BlueSky is a great tool, especially if you want to experiment with a decentralized protocol. Although I still think the big threat to X(Twitter) is Reddit.
And the article is correct on the fraud part (I assume), but then conflates this with overall waste, which, judging from DOGE's name, is its main goal. Though it does claim it found zero waste [1], 'waste' is highly subjective - e.g. to some, DEI departments and transgender activism in Guatemala is waste [2]. Simply deciding that all of these programs are crucial and therefore no waste was found, is not honest journalism.

[1] not a single instance of fraud or waste has been discovered

They don't, but at least they learned not to publicly insult fellow citizens, never mind allied leaders.
Sometimes companies just aren’t in a good position for historical reasons. Returning to Kodak you can’t really say to your investors and employees 90% of our existing business is toast and we’re going to churn everything over the next 5 years.

Sometimes you can do things more incrementally but other times it makes sense to basically close up shop and maybe shop your brand and some assets while keeping the biz afloat at some level with a lot of people still collecting a paycheck.

And there's no easy objective way to screen for this in a job interview. So they pretend it doesn't exist and never ask questions like: "Suppose you're designing a green-field app that you think will grow over time like X, Y, and Z. How would you design and organize your code so that the app stays maintainable and flexible over time?"

I could talk for hours on this subject with concrete examples if anyone ever asked.

I think another problem is that there are so few engineers/architects who really "get it" on this subject. I can only think of a few ex-coworkers with whom I could have the kind of in-depth conversation about app design and organization that I'm picturing.

I've never worked in big tech, always for startups or non-tech corps with a few rock star devs and a lot of decent devs. So maybe it's different at a FAANG. But in my head I'm picturing a bunch of algo-geniuses whose code turns into a big mess over time when requirements take a right-turn and break all their beautiful abstractions. I've worked on a few apps like that and it's not fun.

Yep. The subliminal message I'm getting from my current managers is that I should just be a good little disabled person and work as a Walmart greeter. It's turning into harassment at this point. Just all sorts of BS. Like telling me they are doing so much for me, when my ADA accommodation is weekly 1-on-1s with the manager and my tech lead. Is that really a lot? There are people without disabilities getting weekly 1-on-1s with their managers. Maybe the weekly tech lead meeting is more than others get, but it doesn't seem that hard. I got told my productivity looked bad. I asked if he ran the numbers - he didn't. He didn't even look at my productivity before telling me it looked bad. I ran the numbers and I was in line with my peers. I would think that's the definition of bias... nobody gives a fuck. I didn't get my accommodation for 6 months last year and then they gave me a bad rating based on opinon and not metrics. They said me not getting the accommodations wasn't a factor in my performance (how?).
Elon probably was interesting to hang out with, but right now I imagine he’s absolutely insufferable to be around. If I want to be inundated with bullshit right-wing talking points, I can just leave Fox News playing on my TV.

Looking back at my order history the price has been the same ($129) for the past four years, but now is $134. Not exactly a steep rise, but more than zero.
Passkeys, as they are tied to the domain (relying party ID).
So why is an exchange setting a price at all?

That's not how exchanges generally operate. They generally simply match supply and demand.

An exchange setting prices is the literal opposite of a free marketplace. Is this more of a cartel, like OPEC?

I’m an electrical engineer who does circuit design. I’ve interviewed many electrical engineers over the years and the situation of applicants having “years” of experience while simultaneously not knowing how to design a single circuit is real. In our field it’s usually because although the person’s title is engineer, in practice, they don’t do any engineering. There’s just a ton of peripheral work (basically paperwork related to operations and compliance), which is very important, but is not design.

My guess is computer science has a similar issue.

Lots of people with programming in thier job title but they don’t actually program. And based on ltbarcly3’s empirical measurement, “lots” is above 10%. ;)
Yes. The problem seemed to be the lack of continued updates that evolve with the Russian radar changes. This sounds like an anti-virus paradigm: base software plus signature files.

Can’t the Ukrainees (?) reverse engineer the update format and make their own on the down-low?
Ask HN: System Design Resources espcially for unusual system design?
I am looking for something to help with generic system design and building a base for questions especially outside of the usual system design that focuses on web apps.

I was once asked a system design question for designing a sports book betting model. I had to come up with a model that calculated odds for many games / parleys.

There was nothing about load balances, end users, APIs, or DB choices.

Every time I look online I see resources that seem to almost entirely focus on system design for full-stack web and mobile apps. Everything is about load balancers/APIs/latency/replicating data...nothing about how someone might design any other piece of software.

Any run into this and have recommendations?

I have written a whole project [1] for making amateur videoclips [2] of A.I. generated music, using GPT and other LLMs. 10.000 to 12.000 lines of code was written exclusively by AIs.

I didn't know at the start what should be done, and the code ended up having lots of duplication, but i refactored it a lot and now it is in the order of 4.000 lines.

I could make some screencasts about the development process, but it is very simple. I ask it to write some code, and I always provide some relevant context. When it is a method of a struct, i give it the struct, and/or a similar method, and i describe what i want the method to do. Also sometimes I give it the type signature of the method/function which has to write. When it has to return an error, i provide the error Enum.

In other words, by providing the context, i never use it zero shot, rather always aim for few shot answers. When i want another function to use, i just provide the type signature, and almost never the whole function.

One more detail, I give as minimal of a context as possible. I use as a context window, 100 tokens, 200 or maximum 300 tokens. 100 tokens per query, then delete the context for the next task, and provide new context. Never use more than few hundred tokens per query. Even 300 tokens is pushing it too far.

That's about it! Never use LLMs zero shot, always few shot, and never use more than 100 tokens per query.

I've switched to a 50/50 blend of regular coffee and coffee-free alternative from Northern Wonder (https://northern-wonder.com).

I combine 50% traditional coffee beans with 50% coffee alternative made from locally produced beans in my espresso machine.

The blend works so well that I have no desire to return to using 100% regular coffee beans.

I maintain the 50/50 ratio because real coffee provides an incredible aroma that I don't want to give up (for now).

Nothing they are doing is good for business. All will suffer. Think the Military Industrial Complex can't run when agencies, the military and our allies won't be able to buy our munitions/platforms? Nope, and private business won't need it unless they can offload on to local governments at less than cost, and cities will be broke without federal funds backing them up.
It's even worse than that, many conservatives live in rural areas where EV chargers are less common.

This really is a case of trading a good addressable market for a much smaller one. Business-wise it makes no sense at all.

> Why does it have to be an age thing? Some men and women are players and the game is the game to them.

Yes, buuut many will be players from 25 to 35 (with some degree of flexibility), that's why it's still an age thing. Yes, there are persons that are players for life, sure. But IME they are a minority.

Or maybe I'm just projecting, who knows?

A chatbot they can't even really use.

> GSA employees were told that when it comes to what they can use GSAi for, “the options are endless.” It then offered a list of tasks that, frankly, ended very quickly: “You can: draft emails, create talking points, summarize text, write code.”

> Employees were also given a pretty major caveat about how they can use GSAi: no nonpublic information or “controlled unclassified information”—information that is sensitive but not classified—can be shared with it.

So they can ask it to create drafts and talking points of nothing since they can't tell it the details of the topics they want drafted. It can't summarize texts they can't share with it. It might be able to write code so long as they keep the descriptions vague enough.
But is that really how nations decide which plane to buy?

Sure, technical capabilities are crucial, but don't political and economic factors significantly influence the adoption of the F-35? Factors like strengthening alliances, diplomatic influence, cost sharing, job creation, and export strategies.

My point is: you don't just buy a plane. You buy into an ecosystem where supply chains, political partnership, trade deals and long-term support are just as important. Take away some of that, and I'm sure for a lot of buyers the Typhoon or Gripen suddenly start looking a lot more attractive.
So I don't want to argue with you here, since there really is no point. But please note that I never expressed my view on anything but your limited mental capacity here, which you keep proving to be rather low sentence by sentence.

Thank you! I've been waiting for a viable RVV board for a long time. Just ordered the OrangePi RV2.

This unblocks me properly working to optimize for vector support in software. OOO and even wider RVV registers will then automatically speed things up, without even a recompile.

Yes, I know I could use qemu, but it's not the same. I feel like this is what unblocks me on the software side.
You just need liquidity to hide the transaction time. As in, all transactions are instantaneous because they are all instant loans, where the reconciliation of the actual transaction happens slower in a back channel.
I don’t need updates, so step three is where I disconnect the car and keep driving it like that. There haven’t been any significant updates to the software in the past couple of years anyway, outside of FSD.
Nah. Not misinformation. Just other people aren't willing to give him the massive benefit of the doubt that you are. There's no point arguing with you about it, of course. But in context, watching the full video, seeing his opinions expressed on Twitter... surely you can see how people can come to the conclusion that they have.

For you to act like it's 100% definitely misinformation rather than a judgement call is disingenuous to the extreme.
> Why do tech workers get so wrapped around the axle of layoffs when most people are in a chronic state of tech job hopping?

When I leave a job, I leave on good terms, they're always sad to see me go but understanding, and I always give my employer 6 or more weeks notice with the additional offer that they can still reach out to me for help if they need after that for as long as my memory remains helpful. A couple even took me up on my offer and asked to pay me for my time.

The time I got caught in a layoff I had the door slammed in my face literally minutes later and barely two weeks severance contingent on signing away rights. So, fuck me I guess.

Maybe the workers who complain understand that circumstances are not always equal.
> It does not matter much whatever license you think the SW or HW has. Whatever is available will be used and modified to the liking of the customer.

yeah, china is just not playing the stupid licensing and copyright game. chinese companies infringe trademarks and break licenses all the time. doing so boosts their business/economy overall so the state just doesn't bother with enforcing anything.

the annoying thing is that we're not really playing the game either, or at least, we have laws that get enforced "randomly". it was recent news that meta torrented some 80 terabytes of stuff (https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2025/02/meta-torrented-o...) and essentially nothing happened. back in the day aaron schwartz was driven to suicide over a way smaller chunk of scientific papers downloaded.
Time for the "source?"-ing. If it is an undisputed fact, then is there any reputable media that plainly states "Elon did a Nazi salute"?
So? There are (likely) tons of tools that come installed by default in your distro that aren't POSIX compliant. Or aren't even mentioned by POSIX at all.

For example, on Archlinux, `base` (the minimal set of packages to install) includes `systemd`. `systemd` isn't POSIX.

Now, you could say having both grep and ripgrep installed by default would be somewhat wasteful. As the author of ripgrep, I agree with that. ripgrep is fine being something you opt into so long as coreutils is already included by default.

I'm just tired of people hiding behind POSIX compliance. One wonders how many of your invocations of grep are not POSIX compliant. (A strict POSIX grep is laughably minimal. To the point that not even minimal implementations of coreutils, like busybox, don't stick to the strict set prescribed by POSIX.) I'm not even aware of any grep implementation that doesn't implement something beyond what POSIX requires.

Of course, grep still has a POSIX compliant base. And so long as your scripts only rely on that POSIX compliant base (no -a or -r or -o flags, for example), you can reap the portability benefits of POSIX.
Thing is, you can democratically vote for anti-democratic people/parties. Just because the process is democractic, doesn't mean that the end result will be democractic. We have the same discussion here in Germany with the right-wing party AfD.
> And more, downstreams tend not to use the whole package anyway. So you end up importing a "small" 2000-line crate just to use 7% of it.

Does that really matter? The compiler only includes the stuff you actually use anyways.
Activist investors are a problem. Most recent activist investors have been centered around climate and DEI. Exxon had activist investors try to get on the board. There was a lawsuit over it, I believe it was Arjuna Capital.

Whoever is funding these activist investors, probably a nation/state, is doing it on purpose. Natasha Lamb has to be the dumbest investors to ever live, next to Cathie Wood, IMO. You could invest in an S&P index fund and perform better at 264% for the past 11 years, compared to her 132% realized, and taking far less risk.

I get everyone has their idealistic views of how the world should work, but capitalism dominates every other society, providing better living standards, and security. It is unfortunate we have had leftists in the Democratic party take control of it, and pushing some very strange agendas, that doesn't reflect reality. These strange agendas have been exploited by other nations, like China.

Some activist investors have brought better function management and boards. Carl Icahn is a great example. But he has also brought his fair share of problems.

I'm confused why you would phrase it as "even Donald Trump", as if we should somehow expect Trump to not buy in to Putin's propaganda line? The fact that Trump "admits" that he agrees with Putin should not give any weight to what Putin claims.
