> Every company that exports jobs overseas because they can pay shit wages is part of it

No they aren't. The case for colonialism is that it improves the country so colonized and benefits the people therein by providing them with wealth and the trappings of civilization. For the most part, actual colonies failed in this ideal by doing more to exploit the people being colonized than to help them. But a company providing jobs to those overseas, even at a shit wage, is definitely providing benefit to those people by giving them a better opportunity than they would otherwise have.

The lesson of the "white man's burden" should be that you, the white man, do not know better than a people themselves what is good for them. Take that lesson.

I'd be curious to hear more about your EDA workflow.

What I want for EDA is a tool that let's me quickly toggle between common views of the dataset. I run through the same analysis over and over again, I don't want to type the same commands repeatedly. I have my own heuristics for which views I want, and I want a platform that lets me write functions that express those heuristics. I want to build the inteligence into the tool instead of having to remember a bunch of commands to type on each dataframe.

For manipulating the plot, I want a low-code UI that lets me point and click the operations I want to use to transform the dataframe. The lowcode UI should also emit python code to do the same operations (so you aren't tied to a low-code system, you just use it as a faster way to generate code then typing).

I have built the start of this for my open source datatable UX called Buckaroo. But it's for tables, not for plotting. The approach could be adapted to plotting. Happy to collaborate.
Given that Putin and Trump are firmly in power and Musk is the most wealthy person on earth, I’d say that strategy works pretty well.

We are thinking of something like this (a curriculum approach) for further training. The reason why we didn't want to do this for current work, where the emphasis is on evaluations, is that the "difficulty level" of different tasks is quite subjective and hence we would need to make arbitrary decisions that could affect the evals (i.e which tasks would follow which scenarios, how to ensure sufficient coverage across all difficulty levels etc)

Central planning and authoritarianism can be very effective at changing the course of an organization, government, or country; once the choice is made.

What they don't always do well is make the choice to change when conditions change. There's also usually a limited bandwidth for deciding and forcing change, so you tend to end up without economic diversity and without great results in areas outside of policy.

A democratic/distributed decision making process tends towards slower changes and less alignment, but more diversity.

If you decide to be the world's production line, economic diversity may be less important. But having diversity is usually a good thing when economic tides change.

This article starts out insightful but ends up preaching to maintain the status quo. Europe tried to dangle economic cooperation as a carrot in front of an increasingly aggressive Russia, so how will that tactic work any better with China? If China goes for Taiwan, they will do so with the assurance that economic sanctions cannot harm their war machine, same as with Russia. Decoupling with China after a war starts would be pointless.

I don’t know if I can stand duplicitous neoliberals pretending like they were hawks the whole time for yet another war.

The JS `tsc` type checks the entire 1.5 million line VS Code source in 77s (non-incremental). 7s is a lot better and will certainly imrpove DX - which is their goal - but I don't see how that's "insufficient".

The trade-off is that the team will have to start dealing with a lot of separate issues... How do tools like ESLint TS talk to TSC now? How to run this in playground? How to distribute the binaries? And they also lose out on the TS type system, which makes their Go version rely a little more on developer prowess.

This is an easy choice for one of the most fundamental tools underlaying a whole ecosystem, maintained by Microsoft and one of the developers of C# itself, full-time.

Other businesses probably want to focus on actually making money by leading their domain and easing long-term maintenance.
I tried it myself. It looks like this can do a lot more than open-webui's web search in terms of detail, which sounds useful, thanks for making it open source.

It seems to have a weird behavior of specifying a date when I didn't ask for it, is this expected? Also, I feel like searching "questions" is not optimal for most search engines, and it should instead search in terms of keywords.

Also, I wish there can be a more informative log at a slightly higher level - I don't need to see every request being made, but I do want to see a summary of what's happening at each step, like the prompt used, result, and the new search being done.

On another note, for local models, reasoning models have significant advantages over non-reasoning models. Can they be used for this?

Find it interesting when human governance systems develop clear psychopathic behaviors. Wild animals -- like salt-water crocodiles -- are their own version of a system and any system with nothing that kicks back against it will expand to fill the known universe as long as there's positive inputs. The idea that you'd allow a tier-one apex predator -- that can average 17 feet in length -- to explode and grow to these numbers and risk the lives of countless people and wildlife is a form of nihilism. You're saying we as humans are less important than a prehistoric reptile that lives off rotting flesh.

> Should I run an exit relay from my home?

A bridge is different than running an exit relay. A Bridge allows someone who's ISP blocks access to the TOR network to bypass that by connecting to your bridge.[0]
Bridge relays are Tor relays that are not listed in the public Tor directory.

That means that ISPs or governments trying to block access to the Tor network can’t simply block all bridges. Bridges are useful for Tor users under oppressive regimes, and for people who want an extra layer of security because they’re worried somebody will recognize that they are contacting a public Tor relay IP address.

A bridge is just a normal relay with a slightly different configuration.[1]

In the opening sentence the author says they are using external-dns to set outside DNS to point to their cluster. You need the IP address for that.

(although they'd be better served by just using dynamic DNS rather than this complexity)
I think the Prisma case is a bit of a red herring. First, they are using WASM which itself is a a low-level representation. Second, the performance gains appear primarily in avoiding the marshalling of data from JavaScript into Rust (and back again I presume). Basically, if the majority of your application is already in JavaScript and expects primarily to interact with other code written in JavaScript, it usually doesn't make sense to serialize your data, pass it to another runtime for some processing, then pass the result back.

As for the "compilers are special" reasoning, I don't ascribe to it. I suppose because it implies the opposite: something (other than a compiler) is especially suited to run well in a scripting language. But the former doesn't imply the later in reality and so the case should be made independently. The Prisma case is one: you are already dealing with JavaScript objects so it is wise to stay in JavaScript. The old cases I would choose the scripting language (familiarity, speed of adding new features, ability to hire a team quickly) seem to be eroding in the face of LLMs.
The argument wouldn't be that the famines occurred due to british mismanagement, but rather due to british management. A country produces a certain amount of food during times of plenty. If they are careful, they will stow away some of that excess food for times of hardship. If they are being "managed" by a foreign power for its own benefit, this excess will instead be shuttled away to generate income. During times of hardship, there will be no excess to feed on and people will starve. The foreign power, in turn, will be nowhere to be found. This is no accident or failure, but rather the colony being run as intended: for profit, not for the benefit of the people living there.

Ask HN: Tech job searching, should I continue?
Over the past year, I've applied primarily for Engineering Manager roles—along with several Senior/Lead engineer roles. Here are the numbers:

Applications: >1030
Rejection emails: >630
Interviews: >160
Interviewing Companies: 70 (mostly startups)
Total Interview Time: 112 hours

Additional Interview Metrics:

Interview Cycles (3+ interviews): 30 companies
Advancing to 2nd Interviews (Hiring Manager): 54%
Advancing to 3rd Interviews: 42% (I bombed most tech interviews)
Advancing to 4th Round or Beyond: 30%
Longest Wait for a Rejection: 46 days (~6 weeks or 32 business days)

After a Bachelor of Science in audio engineering, I spent two decades mastering front-of-the-front-end development, from my core expertise in HTML, CSS, JS, WordPress themes, and web fundamentals, to the last five years of working with mostly React (mid/senior abilities). My most recent role was as an engineering manager, a role that was eliminated after just over a year.

I'm honestly not sure this should continue, I need income and stability. However, it's unlikely a career switch will net me as much money as a tech job and music is just as bad or worse.
In theory there shouldn't be — LLMs are pretty robust to typos and usually infer the intended meaning regardless.
I'm lurking so far, but looks like just what I was searching for. Thanks!

Other UPSs or "solar batteries" in the 1.6kWh ballpark are similarly priced at around $1000 USD. Those are dumb devices, so this seems like a steal.
Go with parametric types is already a reasonably expressive language. Much more expressive than C in which a number of compilers has been written, at least initially; not everyone had the luxury of using OCaml or Haskell.

There is already a growing number of native-code tools of the JS/TS ecosystem, like esbuild or swc.

Maybe we should expect attempts of native AOT compilation for TS itself, to run on the server side, much like C# has an AOC native-code compiler.

Its not strange, its very common. Its called "bootstrapping".

> Bootstrapping is a fairly common practice when creating a programming language. Many compilers for many programming languages are bootstrapped, including compilers for ALGOL, BASIC, C, C#, Common Lisp, D, Eiffel, Elixir, Go, Haskell, Java, Modula-2, Nim, Oberon, OCaml, Pascal, PL/I, Python, Rust, Scala, Scheme, TypeScript, Vala, Zig and more.

I figured a high agency explanation would be "what do I need to do in order to stand out above the rest?"

I am generally pro-union, but I figure a high agency individual would not want to be lumped into a group whose mean agency is below theirs.

In my personal experience, early in my career, I struggled to have my position un-unionized so I could receive fair compensation. Ironically, the union I was trying to leave helped me, because my market rates would have disrupted their pay scales and they figured it was best to negotiate my exit.

I would appreciate sensible counterpoints to this.

My question is: is how one approaches writing programs in Erlang, Elixir, and Gleam fundamentally different from one another? And is the difference enough for the split in the ecosystem?

> Our recent developer survey showed that the majority of Gleam programmers ... largely were not attracted to that language.

I must admit that I find that fairly bizarre. What do you imagine the source of that lack of desire is?

For context, my favorite language is F# and ML-dialects in general, but I also like what I call "principled" dynamically typed languages like Scheme, Racket, Erlang, and Elixir.
Seems like it might be more effective to use the LLMs to write a program that plays Factorio rather than having them pick the next action given a game state.

Also in general I think the issue with Factorio is that you can just find an "optimal" factory design and build order and just follow it every time; perhaps starting with a suboptimal building layout already present and restrictions like being unable to change them or build others of the same type could help.

I have definitely been guilty of naming functions foo_thenBarSometimes. I wince whenever I write them, but I've never really regretted seeing them later on, even after years.
