Investor and heavy user of Google Workspace (several small paid domains). I find the Google Gemini capabilities for note taking and summarization of Meets to be excellent, and a huge timesaver for my teams. NotebookLM almost feels magic.

In my experience, of the major players (AMZN, GOOG, and MSFT), Google's AI integrations feel the most polished and useful for day-to-day use.
I bet someone already had entertained an idea to add cryptominer to Jest, nobody would notice slight increase to those tests running times on CI. Maybe it could even start funding those open source maintainers enough to finally make ES6 modules non-experimental.

Obviously, you will be able to find plenty of examples of things that don't work, and you probably have a bank app or some other thing that you need Google for, but alternatives do exist, and I'd argue that you can have a healthier, more productive, and more enjoyable experience if you can have all your needs met by software that isn't treating you as a product.

My opinion is you should use whatever works; I do. But try not to absolutely need software that you can't control.

Three Things Never to Fade
Downloads used in infrastructure... VSCode Extensions, Github repos, PyPI, NPM, etc. all need to be scrutinized.

Open source at least has the option to audit; closed source (or "closed build" stuff like 7zip) is at far higher risk: mostly just VirusTotal which mostly will not catch backdoors of this type.

Mainland China, Russia, North Korea, use these vectors for corporate and government espionage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y27B-sKIUHA ...XZ, Swoole are 2 examples off the top of my head.
I'm baffled that you're surprised. Trump is threatening military action against Canada. Why would you travel to an country that's threatening to invade your own?

What happens to you if you're in US and they invade Canada? You'll be an enemy national in the US. How's that going to go for you?

Why take that chance?
Yes. Even when all parties are directionally aligned and fundamentally agree on everything it can be a nightmare simply to get all the ducks in a row.

But if I understand this correctly, this is just a way to allow for high density housing; there's nothing specific to friends / family here?

Profit and a competitive market are powerful incentives that keep people from dying in the industry of human transport, that don't exist as much in hospitals. Also, if you think "threat of lawsuits, regulations, and ethics standards" don't encourage safe cars or airplanes currently, what do you think does? In engineering currently there are 1,000 ways to cheat (and sometimes they do, like Volkswagen dieselgate), but reports are actually checked rigorously multiple times by other engineers at a company and by federal regulators (who are also engineers). Things get rejected and changed based on these reviews. Why would AI engineering make this different?

If AI could cause a fiasco on the level of Toyota's unintended acceleration debacle from 2008, which caused the largest auto recall in history, that is something that would give pause to using AI, no? If AI leads to bad products that kill people, companies will lose money and they will not want to use AI.
The code will still be open source? How would AI be impacted?

It’s not about a Republican candidate winning against a Democrat. It’s about a Republican beating another well financed Republican in the primaries before the election even happens.

Besides with gerrymandering, most Republican seats are safe Republican seats.

Even without gerrymandering, there are entire states that are never going to vote for a Democrat.

Or is it not a more recent trend that people should educate themselves, rather than an employer doing that? Internships have become very short and secondary, when they used to be the main vocational training. It's curious that this has remained only at the two ends of theoretical studies: artisanship and scientific research (PhDs). Otherwise, job training has become the employee and, where university is public, society's burden. Maybe it's employers that need a complete rethink, not so much universities?

Even in that case I'd be hesitant to open a CSV file in excel. The problem is that it will automatically apply whatever transformation it thinks is appropriate the moment you open the file. Have a digit string that isn't semantically a number? Too bad, it's a number now, and we're gonna go ahead and round it. You didn't really need _all_ of the digits of that insurance policy number, did you?

They did finally add options to turn off the common offenders, but I have a deeply ingrained distrust at this point.
Agreed! Uncertainty to do with short term economic issues, medium term geopolitical risk (Trump, China, Russia, etc.), and longer-term issues (national debt, Medicare, etc.) also shouldn’t be underestimated.
Yeah, I considered mentioning cat5 as well but figured cat6 was the better argument since people are still installing it today.
There is no hubris. The LLM technology has actually been existing for at least two decades, it's not some sudden breakthrough we suddenly discovered. And given the many billions of dollars it has sucked in, it's definitely a pile of crap. I have been a paying customer of Github Copilot for at least a year. Since the google search has been completely messed up, sometimes it can be useful to look up some cryptic error message. It can also sometimes help recall syntax of something. But it's not the magic machine they've been touting, it's definitely not the AGI, and my god, it's very prone to errors and to anyone who admires this tech, please for the love of god double- and tripple-check the crap that they generate, before you commit it to production. And by now it definitely feels like the 'self-driving' cars 'revolution'. They have been 'just around the corner', for like what, 15 years now?

What are you talking about? People use Google because they choose it.

For most users there isn't anything better than Google. The niche search needs that might lead a HN user to an alternative engine don't apply.

Yet we are talking about targeting the server in this thread, because so far the tooling for the browser sucks, and VCs are more willing to sponsor startups selling server products.

Java not only is pretty much alive on the server, so is .NET, Erlang, and plenty of compiled languages that have always been a better alternative to JavaScript.
> not voting is basically supporting whoever wins

This is just wrong. Contests happen mostly between top 2 candidates even if there there are more in the list. I'm taking from experience of other countries in the world not usa. By that logic, of anyone who votes anything other than those 2 most popular, is like voting the whoever wins.

I work in C# and C++ day to day now, and in $PREV_JOB I used Go and C++. my go builds on a similar size project were quicker than the linter in my C# project is right now. Go's killer feature IMO is that it's _almost_ scripting level iteration speed.

Your countrymen literally voted in Trump, and they did it with broad support across many parts of the country. You can argue that a significant proportion didn't, which is true, but while democrats and the like show increasing distaste which can be explained along general partisan lines, on the other side is a significant number of Trump supporters who show themselves strongly supportive of and behind his general policies and proclamations. To pretend otherwise or call that fearmongering is to deny all reality.

The backlash is there, but people who are not around US nationals every day are vulnerable to being swept up in the "you are the only one who doesn't like this" consent building that our media sometimes targets at us. A poll taken before any of this shows that US nationals view Canada more favorably than any country in the world. There's no veneer of plausibility to this, they are just doing whatever they want after realizing (or hoping) that no one can stop them.

I don't know why the media is assenting to this. I had thought they had at least some level of independence from policymakers due to being owned by businesses with distinct interests, but I am having to question that assumption. It is not entirely clear what they know that I don't that explains how this can be carried out.

The Anthropic models are running underneath everything (Claude Code, Windsurf, Cursor, etc). Whenever someone is using MCP they (in the generalized case, until now) ultimately end up using Anthropic as their LLM and Anthropic gets paid whenever someone does that.
It appears that she was at the border crossing to have her work visa processed. The resolution was that due to prior visa issues, she needed to apply for her visa at a consulate. Then they imprisoned her. As the story goes, she did nothing wrong and did not present invalid/expired paperwork.

I don't know how the US process works, but long ago when I worked in a foreign country, I was required to leave the country and get my work visa added to my passport upon reentry. Reading that article made me consider that she might have been in a similar situation, only she was incarcerated for two weeks in subhuman conditions due to (at most) a clerical error.

It's really a risk for people who are not US citizens to cross our borders right now.
That's a pretty broad stroke.

I come originally from Alberta, and I have certainly met my share of people whose opinions would not be anywhere close to the centre of American politics.

Broadly the conservative right in Canada tolerates socialized medicare. They'd gladly and instantly throw it under the bus the moment it being politically possible to do it. But for now at least it's still poisonous to make those opinions known.

Former PM Stephen Harper worked for the National Citizens Coalition for a period of time, and that organization was explicitly founded in the late 70s to oppose and try to stop/end public healthcare and the Canada Health Act.

I suspect if you get them in private and off the record, most Conservative leaders would admit to desiring to see change here.

Ah, yeah... the existence of every major project is to satisfy the companies paying for the development. Linux has been over 80% corporate commits every year since 2003. Blender is funded by 35 corporations. Not one open source project larger than a library has gotten anywhere major without corporate sponsorship.

It’s specifically about the aluminium used as adjuvant which is considered as a culprit. They found more aluminium in the brains of autistic people[0] and I was reading something about how the aluminium adjuvants crossed the brain blood barrier quite quick.

There is for example the concept of aspiration when applying vaccines to not accidentally inject into the blood stream. A mistake here on a small human is literally injecting aluminium into his bloodstream which goes to his brain and deposits there.

Anyway more studies on something crucial as vaccine damage should always be welcomed, but the choice of personnel, yea doesn’t look convincing to say the least. On the other hand we have enough big pharma studies showing how great their products are and if the study is build up well I’ll take it.

You really super can't just split on commas for csv. You need to handle the string encodings since records can have commas occur in a string, and you need to handle quoting since you need to know when a string ends and that string may have internal quote characters. For either format unless you know your data super well you need to use a library.

Oh for sure there is no homogeneous state and you are completely right. It is a gross simplification to talk about blue and red states, and like the Pacific NW is about as blue as it gets, but you can also find extremely red areas.

But I mean Texas is as "blue" as New York is "red". Yet Texas is unabashedly, overtly a Republican state. 1/3 of extremely red Arkansas voted Democrat. If it came to shooting, it wouldn't be state vs state, it would be zipcode vs zipcode.

>I actually think the US is far less divided than American liberals would like to think

The US is approaching a 50/50 divide between extremely different political opinions, where each then changes everything to force their view on the other. It is extraordinarily divided. And that was before "MAGA" in the US decided that allies are actually enemies, Russia is a friend, and sending people charged with no crime and with no due process to a random corrupt banana republic -- El Salvador -- that will enslave them for $, and it's just grossly untenable: These are positions that are completely orthogonal to those that America has set for itself during all of modern history. It can't go on. There is no way that the alternate positions are compatible.
> Are Americans not aware that their head of state is threatening to annex us? Oh, and judging from social media comments, his supporters think this is a really nifty, clever idea. Why do you think this is about a trade dispute?

I don't see why you guys can't dislike us for more than one reason. The annexation threat, and then the weird tariff demands that came out of left field, they both seem like good reasons, and you could even treat them as addition.
Americans want their living standards to decrease for some odd reason. The vast majority of rural America and the poor not only voted for Trump and Republicans. But are steady cheering DOGE cutting services and programs they depend on.

Their major concerns are God, Guns, sticking it to the “college educated elite”, getting rid of “illegals”, fighting against the demographic shift of the US becoming majority/minority, protecting Israel so Jesus will have some place to come back to (no exaggeration) and woke something or other.
Google kinda irked me when they purchased Motorola - I was hopeful we'd get nice hardware with the android team focused on making android better but they instead gutted the company and sold it off and android has been more solid on non Google devices from what I can tell. From pixels not having an operating system shipping to people to pixels 4 and 7 having notable worse camera features (I should note I'm biased to how well the camera works since it's one of my three main uses of a smartphone) compared to say the Nexus 6 phones.

I've wondered if android and pixel breaking off Google would be a good thing or not honestly since there is talk about cutting chrome off.

This assumes all specialized tasks are fungible.

I can't disagree more strongly. If you're a specialized person with expertise and ability to perform outside the knowledge of all possible interns because you're developing something novel and not covered by standard materials, you'll be hard to compete with using AI because AI will direct people to standardized methods.

Granted, if you do a specialized task that is taught in schools and that anyone can do, that's trouble. But that's not tactics either, that's clock-punching. That's replaceable. You can talk 'strategy' all you like but if you're only exploiting the AI's ability to do what people already know, that's another box to be stuck in.
