That acquisition came later because dot-bomb (and, yes, the rise of Linux) helped crater Sun. It's not my argument anyway. It was a popular theme at the time even if the company names have been repopulated in many later tellings.

I worked for EMC very briefly (like for a few months after close) via an acquisition.

I've tried to get LLMs rewrite a bunch of stuff in Rust, from different languages (JavaScript, Python, C++, C) and I can definitely relate: LLMs cannot be trusted rewriting anything significant without a lot of supervision (realistically, the only thing I've gained was not to have to type boring boilerplate, but that's pretty much it).

And before you say “oh but it's because Rust is too hard”, SOTA LLMs don't have much problem writing Rust code nowadays, and I suspect Rust is actually a better candidate than most language as a target, because the compiler catch so many things and the errors are very explicit, which helps the LLM a lot when doing multi-turn rewriting sessions.
The Invitation
Note that all the replies to this have conveniently steered the conversation into fighting over the Israel-Palestine war and gotten us to not talk about the actual point, that FB very credibly worked alongside the US gov't to suppress what Americans saw about the war on social media, lots of times suppressing actual journalists with press vests who were reporting from within Gaza at a time when formal press were banned by Israel from entering Gaza (meaning reliance on the ones already inside was crucial)

This event has been written on the walls of the USA since those smart speakers and cel phones first appeared. The average US citizen has been conditioned to believe the 'regulation' is 'evil government' and not protection from established abusive practices - that's how regulations get created: someone (usually a corporation) abuses a public resource or good so extremely that laws are written to prevent that. Of course, those laws prevent business from exploiting the situations, so of course business educates people that regulation is evil, and the fake to destroyed education system volunteers to educate that lie too.

The USA is a destroyed, hollowed out shell that manufacturers morons, on purpose, because they make desperate employees. The fact that almost no Americans can explain themselves without thinking that act is a lead up to a punishment is very telling, and then their explanation cannot be understood by anyone but a career peer because they only speak in non-communicating jargon, a parrot echoes of talking points from media. No self generated thinking, only echoes of media. It's seriously a giant problem. This nation is kaput intellectually.
Yeah, but have you been to Mississippi?

I’m a fan of Curb Your Enthusiasm but didn’t get to this episode yet.

It’s interesting seeing the progress of technology, with Larry using feature phones in the first few seasons.
In all seriousness (aside from all the comments stating they'd ordered it. Hey, I just did myself), it's interesting seeing Meta go after the employee but seemingly not make much of an effort to go after the publisher.

What would they hope to gain going after any of it so late anyway? Surely if their goal is to dissuade others from publishing tell-alls, the resulting publicity from their suits against this one would do the opposite? If they really wanted to stop the book, they should've gone after it early before publication, but it seems like they dropped the ball and are doing more damage to themselves trying to catch up.

Hm right well you can certainly write apps that run fully inside the database and use its services, so with ORDS doing OAuth2 I guess that gets close to something like Firebase. You can run logic written in JS easily too, it has an embedding of graaljs which is a fast JS engine that's well integrated with the rest of the database environment.

22% drop in programming jobs, but only a 0.3% drop in developer jobs. It's an interesting point of differentiation. I imagine there's a lot more developers than programmers when you're being pedantic about it.
For this piece of code, one can rewrite it correctly and much more performant in much less time. If the tool only drags you down, you'd better drop it.

I’ve removed every app I can over this because. Highly recommend.

For the remaining apps that I can’t avoid like Uber, I turn notifications off. There’s a 5 minute window where I’ll have to switch between the Uber app and whatever I’m doing, but I’ll file it under fidgeting.

I think it’s important to call out abuse of notifications for what it is. Notifications are for important events that a user expects. If a service wants to lie to me about what’s important, what else are they lying about?

Amusingly, this is only conditioning me to use fewer apps on a phone, which is making switching to an Android with alternative firmware slowly become easier.
Perhaps a better way to say it is that particles are not longer small balls of dirt [1], but a mathematical construction that is useful to generate an infinite serie [2] to calculate the results.

Since in some conditions these mathematical tricks behave very similar to small balls of dirt, we reused the word "particle" and even the names we used when we thought they were small balls of dirt.

[11] We probably never thought they were made of dirt, and in any case the magnetic moment is the double of the value of the small ball of dirt model.

[2] That has so many infinites that would make a mathematician cry.
Conversely, in the other languages I know I see it happening all the time. I don’t think frowning on it has to do with the language, but with the person. There are sticklers and SNOOTs¹ everywhere, even in English.

Show HN: A bi-directional, persisted KV store that is faster than Redis
we've been working on a KV store for the past year or so which is 2-6x faster than Redis (benchmark link below) yet disk persisted! so you get the speed of in-memory KV stores but with disk persistence.
To achieve this we've created our custom filesystem that is optimized for our special usecase and we're doing smart batching for writes and predictive fetching for reads.

In addition to basic operations, it also provides atomic inc/dec, atomic json patch, range scans and a unique key monitoring mechanism (pub-sub) over WebSockets which essentially allows you to receive notification on registered key changes directly from the KV store. so for example in a realtime web application, you can receive notifications directly in your front-end, with no back-end implementation (no WebSocket server management, no relay etc.) and still be secure and not expose your API keys on front-end.
We have REST, WebSocket and RIOC API and we can't wait to hear your feedback.

We're only providing the free tier for now but let us know and we can increase the limits for you, if have a specific case. please either send us an email to support@hpkv.io or use http://hpkv.io/contact if you prefer that way.

What's the difference between programming and software development? I can't read the article.
That’s not an artificial plastic though.
To save you wasting 10 minutes: The distinction between programmer and software developer in government definition, led to "programming" jobs dropping by 22%. This doesn't affect the "Software development" industry which saw only a 0.3% drop.

It is really a click bait.

I guess it's not so clear.

I wonder how much of this drop can be simply explained as having reached a certain industry maturity. I assume at some point most of the fundamentals are in place, so we need less people?
Or a film.

I remember the years leading up to it. I was a kid really (okay, beginning my 30's) and my games were being published by a small company in California. At the trade shows I would often see this guy who was a friend of the publisher who was an amateur investor.

Every time we would catch up with him he would rattle off all the stock symbols he had bought that were on fire and making him bank. For my working-class upbringing, this market stuff was a strange world. He might as well be talking about pari-mutuel wagering (whatever that is).

Some years later when I heard that Netscape was about to go public I decided to see what this investing thing was all about. At that time there was a brokerage in downtown Lawrence, Kansas where you could pay a fee to place an order on a stock. Me and a few other nerds that had never invested in the market before each put a few hundred dollars we had toward Netscape.

With the stock priced at something like $28, I think I placed an order to buy if it was below $40 or something like that. By the end of the day I had learned that Netscape opened at over $40 and, while it dipped mid-day at some point, it never dipped quite below $40 and so I owned zero shares. A near miss?

So it was my first step in investing (or misstep). There would be more (missteps that is).

It was only years later when I was wiser that I realized that the guy who was picking the winners so well back in my trade-show days couldn't really lose — all the stocks were going up.
I worked at Cisco from 94-99 in the Morrisville, NC center. The salespeople there did not even have to really work and they were making bank. And so was I. Until my mental health collapsed and was "mutually terminated. Soon after I left I decided to sell all my Cisco stock and it was just in time, 2/10/2000. I wish I could say I did it because I was smart but I was just tired of the whole scene.

But what is happening now, IMHO, is way worse, and much different, than the dot com bust. The Yemen offensive might be a pre-text for, or start, a war with Iran.
The title is as usual incorrect.

There are many parasite animals that do not breathe, e.g. the intestinal worms, because there is no air around them.

However those retain some features related to respiration, and they may breathe in some life stages, e.g. as free larvae.

The parasite described in the parent article is unusual because it has suffered an extreme simplification, deleting anything in its structure that is not strictly necessary for its lifestyle, so it has completely lost the mitochondria that enable respiration in nucleate cells.

Loss of mitochondria has happened in several kinds of unicellular eukaryotes, but this is the first example in a living being whose ancestors have been multicellular animals (which were related to jellyfish).

This is not surprising today, when it is known that the examples of evolution toward simpler forms are actually more frequently encountered than the cases of evolution toward more complex forms, but it was surprising in the past, when evolution was conceived like a ladder on which life forms with increasing complexity were placed, starting from the simplest and supposedly arriving to humans as the peak of evolution.

As someone who is generally very excited about the potential of LLMs to improve developer productivity I find this article a bit frustrating.

This isn't a productive way to use an LLM. The example was so trivial you could easily rewrite it from scratch in less time.

That would be irrelevant if the process scaled to more complex applications, but the blog shows it fails to understand or implement the simple example repeatedly. This left me with little hope that the technique scales.

I worry that creating so much hype will lead to some kind of backlash.

Maybe we're beyond native software for things like Office suites already. I can see the benefit for always-online multi-user applications that combine text editing with project planning, wiki-like functionality, documentation base and whatnot. Few write office documents to just have them sit on the local hard drive.

The few times I need to use LibreOffice, it's just to export as PDF and send somewhere. That doesn't seem to be the workflow of the future.

That is ‘synthesis’ as in chemical synthesis. Sugars are good for energy storage so the right comparison is with e-fuel production. They also can be made into structural materials.

Casey Handmer, if he doesn’t die from the Kool-aid, is going to go down the path Eric Drexler went down and that anybody who thinks seriously about space colonization goes down. You can have a revolution in space travel and then you need a revolution in manufacturing… or if you have the revolution in manufacturing you don’t really need much better space travel.

He’s coming to the conclusion that Starship can’t really send enough solar panels to Mars to support a human colony so now he’s looking for a nuclear miracle. The other approach is to send a solar panel factory, but if you run numbers on it you will decide you need a solar panel factory factory that bootstraps itself and when you consider the spare parts problem conclude you need molecular assemblers or something that works as well as a molecular assembler.

You see, plants are based on molecular assemblers and are already solar panel factory factories packed into a seed.

These particular concerns can be handled via https://ghuntley.com/stdlib and it works very very well.
I hear a lot of static about this on hacker news and nowhere else.

I work for a large company and we were already capitalizing the time we spent developing software. From an accounting perspective it makes sense that software development effort produces a semi-durable asset that a company can use, sell, etc.

For smaller companies, the math is the same.

For startups very specifically, who expect to go to the moon or go bust in 5 years, I can believe that having a lower initial burn rate (because they could represent all developer salaries as opex and deduct in the immediate calendar year) was beneficial.

Also, the tax law changes actually disincentivize offshoring software development by requiring an absurdly long amortization schedule for foreign-developed software. Yet offshoring is currently as intense as it has ever been since the early 2000s. (If we expect the tax law changes to have a big effect on developer hiring, we would expect a decrease in offshoring given the disincentives).
Just swallow it. Perpetuating the myth that gum is not safe to swallow with this "it's made of PLASTIC and CHEMICALS" fearmongering is just proliferating the actual cause of people spitting their gum everywhere, which is being taught not to swallow it.
Unfortunately, with Trump's attack on higher education and defunding research in the US, grad school may look entirely different than it does now. The sad thing is with Trump at the helm, the crystal ball gets hazy 4 weeks into the future, let alone 4 years. That's the definition of chaos, you can't plan.
Not just that, but also if the registrar turns out to be fraudulent or someone convinces your registrar to transfer the domain (scam the support team), or they get your account password and transfer the domain that way (data leak elsewhere, password reset with a sim swap, you name it)... there are so many ways you can have "technical difficulties", but in the end: you're the one with an ID card that has your name on it. You can take the TLD to court and have them give you back the domain that was legally purchased in your name

Except if it's not in your name

So yep, as you say: make this decision (fake or real information) knowing the risks involved in not legally owning it
In my mind its one of those events that is hard to know the exact motives. Could be as simple as enforcing the standard of their contracts or as extreme as actual retribution.

Banks in the US are legally obligated to *not* just take your word for this.

KYC (Know Your Customer) laws attempt to eliminate anonymity in fund transfers which sounds like what you are really looking for.
Again, missing the point.

You can. I can't. I don't want to. I don't care if it's slow, I can easily tell if it's correct and I can make the LLM fix incorrectness (in this simple case, anyway).

The point is this project probably wouldn't have happened without an LLM.
Looks like that should be 13 T 2005?

In the government’s schema, programmers do the grunt work while the much more numerous — and much faster-growing — software developers enjoy a broader remit. They figure out what clients need, design solutions and work with folks such as programmers and hardware engineers to implement them.
That sounds like something a programmer would say.
Umbrellas in Hongkong come to mind.
Those who were "demo/intro-brained" (the demo scene being the 2nd largest user segment) were unaffected.

Commodore actually did release an official KS2.0x ROM upgrade for the A500.
Vision Pro is a vanity product for Tim Cook. Once you understand that it makes a lot more sense.
It's the only product he has ever pushed, and I believe it's because of the shallow wow factor which fits TC very well.
In any case it would always have been a nice product, regardless of price, but at this price it's just nonsensical.
The sounds like exactly the point OP is making. The way LLMs are spoken about implies much more than actually demonstrated.
Only for Unix accounts.
The Amiga's audio reproduction is an odd beast. Incredibly sophisticated one hand then completely hamstrung by the fact that stereo planning has to be done in software. So you either run it as 4 independent mono channels, or you devote lots of CPU time to software panning, which rules doing that if anything else CPU intensive is going on. So you basically can't have stereophonic audio in games.
Reddit Values Its Data More for Internal Use Than Licensing to Google or OpenAI
This type of situation is why I use Docker for pretty much all of my projects—single package managers are frequently not enough to bootstrap an entire project, and it’s really nice to have a central record of how everything needed was actually installed. It’s so much easier to deal with getting things running on different machines, or things on a single machine that have conflicting dependencies.
Do you not think that the thread you’re currently on here on HN has a lot of rust programmers? So your “most recent encounter” is actually this thread.

It’s trivial to find examples of people in any community who are a bit off the rails, but you shouldn’t let that define your perception of the community, especially given the fact that you’re currently in a context where your thesis doesn’t have much to support it.
