Most of those things are improved upon by Kotlin as well, and seems like an easier upgrade path from Java anyway vs Scala.

Kotlin is also much more popular than Scala.
Active support of a criminal enterprise. I believe it's not just a state crime but also federal.
> doesn't seem like much of a story to me when we have Kevin Mitnick being convicted for hacking crimes at 25 and being a consultant for the FBI after doing his time

This kid wasn’t convicted. He’s never shown contrition or growth. He’s a cybercriminal who was given the keys to our payments systems by Musk.

I think you completely misunderstood the article. You should try to look at it from the eyes of an educator rather than a programmer.

With them there is also the rise of AOT friendly frameworks like Quarkus and Micronaut.
So why do the Russian invaders keep steeling the toilets and washing machines?

When you measure wealth, it makes a huge difference how exactly you calculate it. Having a few astronomically rich oligarchs in your country increases the arithmetic mean, but does nothing about the median.

This is how Russia can have better numbers in national statistics, and yet the average Russian soldier can feel the other way round in Ukraine.
This is actually one of the use cases the authors discuss in their paper. Sending mixed plastics through this process to extract the PET/PBT containing bits, and send the rest along their way.
Most politicians are sociopaths, whereas Trump is a narcissistic psychopath (aka malignant narcissist). You encounter sociopaths everyday, but a narcissistic psychopath is next level. Those are the Hitlers, Stalins, Saddam Husseins of the world. Or if you want to look outside of politics, the Charles Mansons and Jim Jones of the world.
The European upper class doesn't generally pay taxes, and they are more of internationalists than you are thinking. They move around enough and have their home base somewhere like Monaco so they don't participate at all in the welfare systems. European welfare systems redistribute huge amounts of money from the middle class to the poor, not from the rich.

In other words, the European welfare systems are actually a great tool of theirs to keep the competition down: if you're taxing the upper-middle-class workers at a ~50% rate, they need to out-earn you 2:1 to build wealth at the same rate.
> only sticks if the CDN he managed was specifically built for criminals

Why? If he knew it was being used for crime sufficiently to let him brag about it to the FBI, he’s complicit.
True but only because the last guy as well as the gal they offered as alternatives were so out of touch.

You can tell because now Newsom is singing a different tune. He even denies ever using the word “latinx” and Bernie now claims secure borders are a must…

Don’t put people is a position where they will make a choice you (the other guys and gals) will regret. Don’t “dare” them.
This is such bad faith.

Your link talks about a "fun experiment" in an "area underprovisioned with bandwidth", where they are faster to deliver a DVD 10km away than uploading it.

I can't even begin to explain how this is nothing more than a fun anecdote that has absolutely nothing to do with innovation in Europe.

> CD is that shiny piece of plastic that you can put your data, if you youngsters do not know what it is

They are sending 4.5GB on a DVD. DVD is that thing that looks like a CD on the outside, but can hold more data. Since you don't seem to know the difference.
Ah ok, an opinion piece from last year makes you think that.
But why do you care that the set is empty (in the abstract, obviously if there was a reason you'd expect the set to be non-empty, that's a different thing)?

The trick is to think about invariants and state, which if you frame it that way, the empty set case implies there is only a single state.
Simon is so important in this space, and rightfully so, I wonder if these models overweight his blog in the training sets. Similar to how car manufacturers design to what they know will impress the car reviewers.
I wonder how true this is. There's a lot of machine sewing, done by humans, to make more complicated articles of clothing (for example a dress, or a pair of trousers), and doubtless that won't be mechanised even though it could be because humans are cheaper to retrain. Your basic little black dress will be hand made, maybe by a person you know, maybe by near slave labour, but humans made that.

But say socks, the actual garment manufacture is entirely mechanical, thread goes in, machine works, socks come out. There are a bunch of human processes we add, including a QA step (the machine doesn't care if it makes occasional non-socks, a QA can see that's not a sock and dispose of it or summon maintenance if the machine starts to do this a lot) but so far as I can see the socks are made by the machine.
Impressive. I tend to think it managed to find the bug by itself which is pretty crazy without being able to debug anything. Then again I haven't seen the bug description, perhaps the description makes it super obvious where the problem lies.
We badly need a commercial space industry in Europe.

Arianespace is like Boeing, a government-propped organization that grew complacent, lazy and fat on guaranteed military launches and stopped caring about efficiency or engineering progress.

It won't get any better without vigorous competition. The launch site in French Guiana is almost shockingly underused. A site at the equator - who could wish for more - and it had total grand of 1 launch in 2024.

That is not a good use of taxpayer's money.

BTW Ukraine has a significant space industry and made a lot of progress on missiles as well. It would be wise to co-opt their know-how.
Is a public post from a cybercrime ring credible evidence?

I get that the potential connection may warrant more investigation. But I don't see any real evidence of anything in this article other than they were a customer of DiamondCDN for an unknown amount of time.
Clearances are an executive construct. Trump can give TS to every sea turtle if he wants.
But it's almost a database. See the full glass of wine conundrum.
That's how buying works. You can conveniently forget who you bought it from, because it's yours now. Google Maps was bought from an australian company BTW.
After reading your comment, one might come to the conclusion that Europeans see Americans through the lens of reporting and social media, just as Americans see Europeans through the same lens. Both sides believe characterizations of the other.
>> We have an adversarial legal system. Law firms take up a variety of positions for a variety of reasons.

Granted, but bad faith lying for political reasons should not be included in that.
It depends on the theory. The Bohmian theory, which is what I have been using, is one in which electrons have actual positions that change over time along trajectories. We may not have access to that data, but that is fine. Certainly in simulations one would be able to see which scenario happened. For some, it might be the same electron moving away, for others it would be kicking one out. One could definitively say which one is happening in the simulation. In experiments, we cannot say that because our access to the knowledge is limited by quantum equilibrium. The quantum formalism is very much like thermodynamics in that regard; the individual details are missing, but the larger picture can be computed. Nevertheless, in a Bohmian world, the electrons have their distinct identities as distinguished by, and only by, their trajectories.
> In reality, the US government is one of the most static, unchanging organizations on the planet.

How naive are you? I mean seriously.

Your post is one of the worst faux savvy takes I have seen. A true classic of the genre. The US Government is not an independent thing: it is made up of people. And if you haven't notice the current set of people are doing lots of gigantic, unprecedented things.

You either have a truly massive case of normalcy bias, or you approve of their lawlessnes and are running cover.
The good thing is that it allows you to run Linux with an actually good and well supported GPU for video output.
Yes but not all of them, no need to drag every person into this.

Yeah with most appliances its... not smart to go for highest of their ranges.

Often the parts you actually care about are the same among most of the products in a range. When looking at Miele dishwashers recently they all had the same core dish washing mechanics, and all you got when moving to the highest end model was some superficial design changes, an app and that the door popped open once it was done.
I love to see this competition between companies trying to get the best LLM, and also, the fact that they’re trying to make them useful as tools, focusing on math, science, coding, and so on
Why? If he knew it was being used for crime sufficiently to let him brag about it to the FBI, he’s complicit.

I don't follow. I can brag about Akamai or Cloudflare being used for criminal activity and still use it myself or even promote it to others. That is a strong selling point in that if criminals can use it then it's less likely my crass meme sites might be taken down.

Was the CDN he promoted only sold to criminals explicitly for criminal activity? e.g. not logging admin access, hiding identities of criminals, promoting the support of illegal content, etc... The difference in my eye is the intent to use for illegal means vs. the illegal usage of a generic tool as a by-product. Was he actively promoting illegal usage to the would-be clients? As for boasting about it to the FBI I would want to hear the actual dialogue. Media have been putting slants on details as they know crapping on DOGE is popular right now.

In reference to intent an example would be if one hosts an anonymous forum or chan site and someone uploads illegal content they are protected from criminal prosecution assuming they quickly remove said content whereas if they host an anonymous forum or chan site and promote the sharing of illegal material then they are no longer protected.
When I visited San Francisco, I totally went to Amoeba Music. Loved that store. I've now made it my mission to go to local record stores whenever I visit a new city, as well as go to the ones in my city!

Also, I walked around the Golden Gate Park carrying my bag of records... and then someone tried to sell me shrooms.
I'd say US corruption is now more transparent than EU corruption :D

That was once different, with Berlusconi at the helm in Italy while owning the major TV outlets.
Which is exactly the problem with most of Europe -- a lot of talk, but little action, not out of a lack of motivation but because of the amount of heavy-handed bureaucracy, taxation, and anti-startup culture. That last one might sound odd when many countries, including mine, has a lot of startup schemes -- from tax cuts to innovation funding etc. But all of that is so bureaucratic and slow and complicated that it's only by accident that it helps anyone.

"I'll believe it when I see it happen" is my approach to anything Europe, because I've lived within it for nearly forty years now. And I'm wise from experience. I've seen this before. Same song, worse bureaucracy, different faces (politicians).
The article suggests: "store it on your cloud storage like iCloud, Google Drive or Microsoft One Drive"

She's specifically suggesting that instead of taking a small chance on having your phone searched, to upload it to 1 of 3 American companies, all revealed by Edward Snowdon to collaborate with American government snooping. Crazy.
The majority did. That’s how democracy works; you take responsibility for the elected government, regardless of your personal opinion.
The FBI is part of the DoJ... they are in fact the investigative arm of the DoJ and both bring the US attourneys evidence of crimes so that the attourneys can do the court work and they go find evidence as requested by the attourneys for ongoing cases. The fact that you're treating them as such separate entitites is indicative that maybe you should learn a bit more about how these things work.
Thanks :)

Turbofan differed from Crankshaft in two key points IMO: 1) the IR changed to SoN instead of CFG (at least for part of the pipeline; the backend remained CFG), and 2) the whole pipeline was redesigned, in particular with high-level node (JS level), mid level nodes ("simplified" nodes) and low-level nodes ("machine nodes") (all of these are SoN), then followed by the CFG nodes which we just call "Instructions" and are closer to actual machine operations. If I'm not mistaken, Crankshaft didn't have this deep(ish) pipeline and different IR levels.

With Turboshaft, we're keeping Turbofan's pipeline (while allowing a bit more flexibility in mixing high and low-level nodes), and "just" using CFG instead. So basically, the current pipeline is something like
- in Turbofan (but we're currently moving it to Maglev): graph building, feedback-based optimizations, load elimination, escape analysing, typing, representation selection
- in Turboshaft: lots of lowerings, peephole optimizations, store-store elimination, allocation folding, load elimination again, some simple escape analysis, then instruction selection
- then we join back the old Turbofan pipeline and do register allocation and code generation on a CFG-based IR (and this was always like this in Turbofan).

The Turboshaft IR is very compact and is based on copying the whole graph entirely during each phase (which can only be efficient if the IR is compact, and only makes sense if enough nodes are updated in the process, which is the case in the backend). In the frontend, we want a bit more flexibility and the ability to update the IR in-place, so we'll use the Maglev IR, which is also CFG, but it's not so compact, and it's easy to mutate the graph in-place over there.

I hope that this is useful information; I can ask some colleagues from the Crankshaft era to chime in otherwise :)

I can personaly attest to a long standing divide between Canadian/US medical practice.
May parents, both medical, dad a forensic pathologist,etc, and mom a pediatric, intensive care nurse, decided to emigrate to Canada, in the mid 1960's, dad from the Punjab, mom, from Penn state, due too multiple factors involving geo politics (the draft), and medical practice , and the discussions over the decades, with colueges moving to the states, or back to europe and asia, etc, would revolve around, ethics, and MONEY.
With Canada always winning on lifestyle and compasionate grounds, and the US always winning on
more (much) money and reduced work load.
And as both of my parents are now in long term care, and just went through our somewhat deranged
medical beuacratic processes, Canada still maintains a compasionate focus to care, but the civilian medical boards, are doing everything they can to undermine and dismantle our universal healthcare system, for one driven by the drug companys and private health care system found elsewhere.
Seems like my post is a duplicate, see older one here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43471578
Right? Surely the guardian expects all its readers to self-host cloud services /s.
King County (Seattle) did this when wiring up the municipal network. Networking World ran at least two cover stories on this in the mid-1990s. They ran 200 ... bundles? Strands? Everywhere. That fiber is still there, under sidewalks, inside bridge structures, everywhere. Whoever bought the rights to that excess fiber from the city is probably subletting it to various FAANG and datacenters making a small fortune. That fiber runs through most of downtown seattle.
Huh? How are you supposed to parse a statement like 'x * y;' without some form of semantic analysis? You need to be able to look up whether 'x' has been declared as a variable or a type, and parse it as either a multiplication expression or a variable declaration. Am I wrong on this?
I've been hearing the same spiel for more than a decade where Berlin (or some other "hip" city) was supposed to be Europe's incubator of cutting edge tech & business.

It never works out, it'll be the home of some minor SaaS startups but that's all. The main problem in Europe in regards to tech are the regulations but even more so the mindset - European's are much more risk-averse than Americans, you'll never get the funding you'll need for a scale-up like Uber because it's too risky.

The alternative path is the Asian one (heavy-handed government that top-down constructs the companies, market and tries to grow them blocking buy-out from western competition) but Europe is in some strange hybrid-mode between the two which doesn't seem to work.

Currently I think for European countries there is a big chance to shake-up the military&weapons market considering current geopolitics instead of artificially propping up worthless IT startups hoping for an unicorn.
The idea that next admin will be dramatically different to current one... wishful thinking. Just because it would serve nicely our ideas of how world should be run doesn't mean it will.
My previous comment proposed something similar for Salvadoran travelers. To top it off, El Salvador's president has 90% approval rating, compared to trumps ~45%, so they arguably deserve it even more.

I am writing a long post. I hope some people read it.

A very distant relative of mine lives in Germany. He is from India (where I live). He met his German wise in Australia where she was working and they married and later they settled in Germany. He has been asking me to come to Germany for work and start exploring work there and I have always been hesitant about it. Lots of things come to mind - a lot of them are unfounded and/or are just the apprehension of the unknown I am guess. One of the fear is I do not want to settle in Germany. I want to live a decent healthy life and probably return back to India (I don't know after how long; I have a strong feeling/assumption that I will be lonely there and may not be able to connect and I am scared of it) so it seems that I will have no savings essentially when I come back as I have assumed based on stereotypical description or media portrayals fo salaries in Germany/EU.

How is it for skilled foreigners in Germany as a job market currently? Esp. seeing EU is warming up to self sustenance/dependence etc. Are the jobs there? Are those foreigners welcome? This is a tricky question but is there a trend of preference of source geographies for those skilled jobs in Germany? Also, I am in software with 10+ years of experience and my last drawn salary in India was ~70K Euro (in INR) and 5% bonus and 25% startup stock which value at zero now and I was able to save a huge portion or % of it (I know I won't be able to save that % in EU).

Are the salaries really bad? If I am not able to save 1500-2000 EU a month as a single person with no luxurious needs at all there, it may not make much sense for me if I plan to return to my home country eventually).

I am kinda apprehensive about the resurgence of the so called "right" there (which is happening, no happened, in my home country as well but I am a native here :|) - how is that? From a distance everything looks very problematic and scary or rather "very risky".

What I am stuck at is - I actually believe this is not something I can just play on "I won't know until I actually do that". I guess I am being too risk averse and maybe very narrow-minded or paranoid.

I would love to hear this from the locals either native or the ones who are immigrants in tech there.

PS. I apologise if anything sounds absurd or untoward. I do not mean to start an argument or something. I just want to hear about it.

PPS. If a single person with no family falls sick in Germany and has sufficient money (not "rich" money) and health insurance, can they just be admitted in the hospital (assuming hospitalisation was needed and doctors okayed it) and that person be taken care of? Or will they demand a "caretaker" family or friend to be present in the hospital always (that's kind of a requirement here in India) and the person can trust the system to do that? (This is my ONE BIG fear of remaining in India, esp. in old age as someone with no immediate family at all - I know this is counter to what said that I might return if I immigrate).
>They’re not going to. They like/depend on travel dollars too much.

Travel by Canadians (to USA) is down to covid-era lows.

The irony (which is not incidental) is that there was no deep state, but one is being installed before our eyes.
Frankly we live in a world of grey areas. Open the door for someone? Boom! Deportation!

That a person is deported for cleaning around the house on a tourist visa is ridiculous.

But unfortunately, many/most countries have ridiculous visa rules. And even more unfortunately, we live in a time were people enforcing these rules have lost all common sense.
I mean sure, I wouldn’t disagree. But also a blood transfusion is utterly trivial in terms of effects on your body compared to a pregnancy. I don’t know that I know any women who’ve had kids who don’t have like, parts of their bodies that are just numb 24/7 now, or mystery pains, hormone regulation problems, etc etc. Pregnancy is AWFUL on your body.
I use them (more than one) as signals, and draw my own conclusions. I had subscribed to the NYT for several years, and my view is that much of their reporting is just a narrative that the journalist prefers. There's a certain amount of wiggle room with facts and even numbers, and the journalists make good use of it.

Distrust all media deeply. Not because there's an organizational directive to say something in a certain way, but they staff themselves with people who want to say something in a certain way.

You seem to have spotted all the salient features, I'm not sure what you want me to add. To the questions - yes and those numbers.

I remain mystified by the people who can look at a 25% drop in energy use, steady relative collapse of power relative to Asia and the gentle collapse of the political fabric and just shrug and say everything is fine. I dunno what the AfD needs to poll at before the German elite admit that maybe they screwed up the last few decades.

The statistics suggest there is a massive problem here.
