> Rickover understood that in order to operate things, you have to understand how they work....

"Tech largely operated in this manner for decades by necessity. If you asked how to do something, you were told to RTFM. If you instead said, "I read section x.y.z but don't understand what it means," there was a much better chance of someone offering guidance. The onus was on you to understand enough of your current layer to apply it to the abstraction above. Instead, we now have vibe coding, and people pushing PRs having neither written nor tested any of the code. We have people copy/pasting error messages into Slack and asking what they mean, instead of taking the 10 seconds required to read it. We have people who have successfully memorized Leetcode, but who can't apply any of that knowledge to real-world problems."

More than a rant, that is an idea that needs to be more fully developed. For now, it's worth thinking about how tools such as Google, Stack Overflow and now LLMs have made it possible for system complexity to exceed what the people working on it can understand. There used to be an effective upper limit on API complexity from the limits of the human brain. That's been passed. This may or may not be a good thing.
It's "overblown" because of these dumb CVSS scores that get attached to vulnerabilities as if they had any meaning at all (they do not). By itself, it's just a marginally interesting semi-remote vuln, effectively a privesc within a K8s deployment.
> tough to fight against fascism without the use of violence or a very heavy threat of violence

Torching Teslas isn't a strategic use of violence, it's throwing a tantrum. If you're talking about revolutionary violence, you're unfortunately crossing into using violence as a political tool, i.e. killing supporters to intimidate or leadership to decapitate. Anyone who thinks we're there right now isn't versed in what happens to ordinary people during and after revolutions, even those that fail.

(That said, I do find the irony of the January 6th ally decrying political violence a bit ridiculous. If you bought a Cybertruck after 2021, you made your own bed.)

It's interesting to see how defensive people get about capitalism when other economic systems are mentioned. If capitalism is so great, then argue its strengths. It should be able to withstand the criticism that comes its way without having to attack other systems or the critic's background.

FWIW, I agree that capitalism has helped drive progress and increase human welfare in the past, but I no longer agree that it's currently raising human welfare, even if it's still helping to drive progress. I also think that what we have in the USA is not pure capitalism anyway and without acknowledging that, a real discussion will never be had. A form of socialism already exists here, and people seem to like it.
Is that just for actively blocking compatibility? I would assume that carmakers have wide latitude in telling their dealers what they can install. A third-party shop should still be able to install the CarPlay kits.
> Animals are nearly always at war among their own for territory,

This is not true. Quite a lot of animals are neither territorial nor at war constantly.

> will often attack other kinds animals that compete for their food sources

You should know that non aggressive animals exist. They are not some kind of exception at all. That being said, people have literal wars over important resources. They are no strangers of systematically abusing half the population or more ... or even enslaving them. There are people who believe empathy is weakness and they won election, because huge amounts of electorate agrees.

> , unless there is mutual benefit (e.g. deers and monkeys sharing alarm calls for tigers).

Nice example of cooperation. It is no different then humans cooperating with each other.

> Not their competitors, friend.

What kind of new standard you are putting on in there? How do you define competitor and is it really that different then social behavior of people? Like right now, you see half of America cheering on harm done to other Americans. You see them attacking other countries and people over percieved competition ... that completely their own construction.
Once upon a time I was sharing a lab with Brazilian students in France. Some of them are doing aerospace engineering degree and I asked who are their potential employers in aerospace industry expecting the normal suspects of Boeing, Airbus, Lockheed Martin or Dassault Aviation. Casually, however, they mentioned Embraer as the potential employer and according to them it's one of the largest aeroplane manufacturers globally which is based in Brazil [1]. To be honest I've to double-check the name and they're not wrong.

Well-paid is the keyword. I think it's safe to say programmers earn more than average people. From my observations people usually spend proportionally to what they earn.

EDIT:
To make it more clear, I think resource use almost perfectly correlates with spending. One might argue, "But spending on services like plumbers, waiters or therapists doesn't directly consume resources." Yet, when you pay someone for their time, they use that money to buy food, housing, or services from others. This chain continues recursively, ultimately leading to resource consumption.

Parents could of course give their children locked-down devices, that can only access a whitelisted set of websites, enforce time limits on use, and possibly filter content. Such software, in so much as it doesn't already exist, could be made very user-friendly to the parents, and come with decent defaults, so that even parents without the "time, money, and awareness" could benefit. Those with those privileges could of course customize the filters to their liking. This software could even be government-funded, so that they get to "do something".

But then they would not have an excuse to expand online surveillance and censorship.

Those wondering about the mouthful of a name that is "orforglipron" may be interested in the INN (international nonproprietary name) standard for generic drugs. That name is a "generic" or "nonproprietary" name.

Those typically have a "stem" which indicate the mechanism by which the drug works. In this case, it's "-glipron", which you can parse as "glipr" -- GLP-1 receptor -- and "on" -- it's an "agonist", or something that turns "on" the receptor. So "-glipron"s are drugs which agonize, or activate, the GLP-1 receptor. There are other gliprons in trials, including danuglipron (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danuglipron) from Pfizer, and many others that don't have assigned INNs.

Semaglutide and liraglutide also agonize GLP-1, so why aren't they gliprons? Because chemically they are analogs of the naturally occurring GLP-1 peptide, so they get the -glutide (GLUcagon-like pepTIDE) stem.

I don't know why tirzepatide got that name. It's a peptide, so "-tide" makes sense, but it's actually listed as a "various" exception in the master document of INNs: https://iris.who.int/bitstream/handle/10665/379226/978924009....

I think they didn’t want to rewrite their post. It’s more substantial and researched than any comment here, and all their posts are full of information. I think they should get a pass, and calling it self-promotion is a stretch.
I would add that the terrible politics doesn't need to be local. There are a large number of international norms that benefit the already-wealthy, at the expense of the poor, for example, by supporting authoritarians in other countries.
>I think Americans can thank themselves and nobody else for their people dying in wars.

Okay that's a fair point, but if we've learned our lesson from Iraq, Vietnam, etc then why would we want a war in Ukraine? Ukraine's not a NATO member and we have no obligations towards them. If Ukraine is so important to the Europeans that they want to risk escalating a regional border squabble into an apocalyptic nuclear confrontation with Russia, then they need to raise an army for it.

I don't particularly like the way that trump has been overtly signaling his desire to end NATO, but the NATO treaty never obligated America to defend non-members and the people who seem to think it does are as perplexing as trump himself.
If you're under the impression we are highly dependent on foreign producers for petroleum energy, you are mistaken. The import numbers are skewed by the fact that we directly import a lot of heavy sour stuff from canada, mexico, venezuela, etc. because we're one of the few nations that can refine it. In turn, we export a big chunk of light sweet, as it's much easier to refine elsewhere. In a pinch, refineries can switch to processing light sweet pretty easily. It's much easier than going the other way. We'd have a short-term moderate capacity shortfall but more than enough to run most of society, especially manufacturing and defense.
Really curious how this gamble is going to play out for GM. CarPlay compatibility is in the top of my list when deciding on a new vehicle.

I’m sure they must’ve done some analysis but I feel this will backfire quickly, given how much value millennials, GenZ, etc. put into having a CP/AP compatible infotainment.
Similar story here. My grandparents had a farm and had cows (dairy). Even by the time I was around, they had mostly wound down operations and had semi-retired.

They still had some dairy cows though.. and I still remember (over 30 years later!) the almost physical wall of smell that assaulted you going into that barn when it was all closed up because it was -20ºF outside. Nothing romantic about that!

I think we just need to rethink copyright for language models. I'm okay just licensing 1 copy of a work to any LLM model throughout its various generations. Just don't pirate it if no special license is available, buying the ebook should suffice. It should be no different from a human buying a copy. The rule should only be that it does not leak the entire work.

The first B compiler was written in BCPL on the GE 635 mainframe. Thompson wrote a B compiler in BCPL which they used to cross-compile for PDP-7. Then Thompson rewrote B in B, using the BCPL compiler to bootstrap. AFAIK this is the only clean "bootstrap" step involved in the birth of C (BCPL -> B -> self-compiled B)

Then they tweaked the compiler and called it NB (New B), then eventually tweaked it enough they decided to call it C.

The compiler continuously evolved by compiling new versions of itself through the B -> New B -> C transition. There was no clean cutoff to say "ah this was the first C compiler written in New B".

You can see evidence of this in the "pre-struct" version of the compiler after Ritchie had added structure support but before the compiler itself actually used structs. They compiled that version of the compiler then modified the compiler source to use structs, thus all older versions of the compiler could no longer compile the compiler: https://web.archive.org/web/20140708222735/http://thechangel...

Primeval C: https://web.archive.org/web/20140910102704/http://cm.bell-la...

A modern bootstrapping compiler usually keeps around one or more "simplified" versions of the compiler's source. The simplest one either starts with C or assembly. Phase 0 is compiled or assembled then is used to compile Phase 1, which is used to compile Phase 2.

(Technically if you parsed through all the backup tapes and restored the right versions of old compilers and compiler source you'd have the bootstrap chain for C but no one bothered to do that until decades later).

For me, it's about having a tangible impact at a more local level. I make small software to solve specific needs and it feels just as good as making real objects.

It's not so much about ownership, but about operating on concrete things that you can point to, instead of spinning up virtual machines in the cloud.

Building software without agile or tickets or meetings feels just as good. It's what I've been doing for the last five years. It feels nice again.

Source: I had / (have?) ADHD, don't think about it at all anymore, just keep working hard, stick with hobbies and you can do great things regardless of what "labels" society has assigned you.

Almost everytime I read about someone finding LLMs useful for a programming task, the description of how the LLMs are used sounds like either the person is missing domain knowledge, don't use a capable editor, or are not familiar with reading docs.

When I find myself missing domain knowledge, my first action is to seek it. Not to try random things that may have hidden edge cases that I can't foresee. The semantics of every line and every symbol should be clear to me. And I should be able to go in details about its significance and usage.

Editing code shouldn't be a bottleneck. In The Pragmatic Programmer, one of the advice is to achieve editor fluency. And even Bram has written about this[0]. Code is very repetitive, and your editor should assist you in reducing the amount of boilerplate you write and navigating around the codebase. Why? Because that will help you prune the code and get it in better shape as code is a liability. Generating code is a step in the wrong direction.

There can be bad docs, or the information you're seeking is not easily retrievable. But most is actually quite decent, and in the worst case, you have the source code (or should). But there are different kind of docs and when someone is complaining about them, it's usually because they need a tutorial or a guide to learn the concepts and usage. Most systems assume you have the prerequisites and will only have the reference.

Laws matter less than they used to. When the President regularly uses the term "retribution" to describe his mode of operation, I don't blame someone for taking a more careful approach in a case like this.

Will echo this sentiment with one caveat. I would consider a non-CarPlay enabled vehicle if the infotainment is actually good and the vehicle is the main selling point (for me that would be Rivian).
It is crazy to me that womens’ pain is so ignored. I’ve always (half-) joked that if men got periods, there would be 30 alternatives to midol by the end of the month. Maybe we’re just better at crying like babies?

As a chronic pain sufferer, I experienced the same as you, explaining where I am limited in life rather than expressing how much pain I’m in gets much better results.

A similar problem I’ve had is that I tell my doctors I have terrible sinus pain. Often the response to that is that I should consider allergy meds, as well as a confirmation that I am indeed “pretty stuffed up”.

But when I say I cannot sleep a full 8 hours due to sinus blockage, suddenly we need sleep evaluations, humidifiers, antihistamines prescribed, methods for lubricating my sinuses, netti pots, etc.

The whole notion of state welfare necessarily involves the forcible expropriation of property, resistance to which is punishable by death. If I took $20 out of your wallet and gave it to someone else who I thought needed it more, it would not be charity, it would be theft.

Either that, or copyright law is bad in its current form and LLM’s are yet an example of what exposes that.

Even if copyright owners can’t point to how much damage, if any, they suffer from AI, it’s seen as wrong and bad. I think it’s getting boring to hear that story about copyright repeat itself. In most crimes, you need to be able point to a damage that was done to you.

Also, while there are edge cases in some LLM’s where you can make them spew some verbatim training material, often through jailbreaks or whatnot, an LLM is a destructive process involving ”fuzzy logic” where the content is generally not perfectly memorized, and seems no more of a threat to copyright than recording broadcasts onto cassette tapes or VHS were back in the day. You’d be insane to use that stuff as a source of truth on par with the original article etc.
Show HN: A website for sharing the "Good, Bad, and Why"s of urban spaces
Hello HN! We're a small team in Kyoto building a website called dédédé (https://dedede.de/en) that invites people to share the various positives, negatives, oddities, etc. they find in urban spaces.

The project grew out of an earlier effort where we'd built an app that assisted participatory urbanism workshops run by local nonprofits. With the new platform, we're trying to build something similar but more casual and hopefully with broader appeal, that'll be fun to use even outside of formal workshop situations.

We'd love to hear your thoughts!
