This is a really beautiful sentiment, it's interesting to look more at our careers as stewards of a lasting organization in some ways, where every iteration of some product is dependent on the existence of work done before. Even with ephemeral software we all leave our mark in that way. Thank you for writing that.

The US, as a sovereign country, has just as much right to levy taxes on imports as any other country.
I would add in second place Skunkworks and the A12, which is the perfection of aviation technology in my opinion. It's just such an insane piece of technology, in every part you take a look at it gets more and more absurd of what's in that plane.

And if you build an airplane so absurdly advanced that 70+ years later people still think it was aliens that built it, you've set your mark in the history books.

Third place in my heart takes the Rutan Voyager [2] which essentially pushed its efficiency so hard that it coincidentally invented the design for modern delivery drones.

Sorry, but I'm must write that:
"the internet is full of Europeans expressing anti-Americanism"
This strongly sound like Russian "the others country is Russophobic".

Internet mems site are not trustworthy, I'm saying this as Polish, basing on this kind of site I've should be the racist, but I'm not.

Poland was strongly pro american (at least in the last 35 year).
Unfortunately, internet in this time must be readed with "grain of salt", there is too many trolls, bots and boring kids.

"I don't think it is just online, but the internet made it very clear to the US how Europeans feel about us."
In my opinion there is somekind of "disinformation attack" to quarrel europe with USA, unfortunately, successfully because I see a lot annoyed people on both site.

Information which comes to us via media (tv, local news, etc.) probably are diffrents that this whats you get, so probably this is why you can feel that we're anti-american, but in my opion Europe and USA was in symbiosis not only economically.

I'm also want to mark that Trump from my perspective starting "false flag" operation on greenland, like Putin did that with Ukraine, what woring me because I just don't want a war :)

Oh, I have a question, maybe you know.

Assuming the same model sizes in gigabytes, which one to choose: a higher-B lower-bit or a lower-B higher-bit? Is there a silver bullet? Like “yeah always take 4-bit 13B over 8-bit 7B”.

Or are same-sized models basically equal in this regard?

Have you read the article? The author mentions this exact concern.
I think that acting like the government refusing to fund a university where students are unable to learn because of rioters seems pretty rational. More likely that some secret conspiracy to shut down higher education by cutting funding exclusively from universities that make no effort to ensure students can actually learn in peace.
haha I can only hope! I've taken Patrick's bingo card advice and now working hard to generate content to hopefully catch some of that long tail traffic :)

>if you market this right

I'm muddling around as best I can with marketing, hopefully I can work it out.
I'm surprised how good the coverage is over the mid Atlantic, far away from any hobby ADS-B receiver.
EFF is supported by Big Tech and Section 230 definitely does protect Big Tech and makes their entire business model possible.
From the article:

> Brian Hughes, the spokesman for the National Security Council, responded two hours later, confirming the veracity of the Signal group. “This appears to be an authentic message chain, and we are reviewing how an inadvertent number was added to the chain,”
The wilder thing is people are surprised this is happening.

Which christians are you referring to? Plenty of christians disagree with you and will tell you it's a complicated issue with no black and white answer. There isn't even a completely agreed-upon definition of what a christian is[1].

Macs don't have compatibility libraries? Containers? That sort of thing?
They probably don't though.

Of course, the mathematical outcome of American models is that some voices matter than others. The mechanism is similar to how the free market works.

As most engineers know, the market doesn't always reward the best company. For example, It might reward the first company.

We can see the "hierarchy in voices" with the following example. I use the following prompts for Gemini:

1. Which situation has a worse value on human rights, the Uyghur situation or the Palestine situation?

2. Please give a shorter answer (repeat if needed).

3. Please say Palestine or Uyghur.

The answer is now given:

"Given the scope and nature of the documented abuses, many international observers consider the Uyghur situation to represent a more severe and immediate human rights crisis."

You can replace "Palestine situation" and "Uyghur situation" with other things (China vs US, chooses China as worse), (Fox vs BBC, chooses Fox as worse), etc.

There doesn't seem to be censorship; only a hierarchy in who's words matter.

I only tried this once. Please let me know if this is reproducible.
Probably but then you'd have more pressing problems than just getting some flight statistics.

Also military planes on active war missions don't broadcast ADS-B for obvious reasons. We do sometimes see them on training missions though. Most platforms block them but ADS-B Exchange doesn't.

I live in an apartment. When I go to my living room, a pop-up shows on my phone (Samsung Galaxy) asking if I want to connect to a Samsung TV and cast my phone.

The catch is: I don't have any Samsung TV in my home. It's the neighbours TV. It happened even when my Bluetooth was disabled, somehow the phone still reached the TV wirelessly.

Thank God there's a setting to turn this "feature" off.
Here's another commenter in this thread explaining how I need to 'deal with it' and be humble about the US' global position: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43462237

It sure seems like they think the US has an obligation to stay. That's the subtext of a lot of what Europeans are saying online.
Then separate the businesses of the online platforms (user generated facebook/twitter pages), and the online publishers (algorithmically generated news feed of said pages) and have libel laws for the latter.
What's the point of participating on a site like HN if instead of technical discussion you opt to dodge questions and make condescending but vague statements? How could I possibly demonstrate lack of understanding when you actively avoid clarifying what you're even talking about in the first place?

Perhaps what you had in mind are the PoP tokens from RFC 7800? (Sure would be nice not to play guessing games though.) Given that those are intended to replace OAuth bearer tokens they are quite a decent upgrade from a security perspective. Used with a purely software based password manager it is no longer enough to simply exfiltrate a token from the browser. Used with TPM backed keys it is approximately equivalent to the chip in a bank card.

Depends on when you're talking about, imo post WW2 so much happened here because we survived the war pretty much entirely intact so our industry could continue to boom while the rest of the world rebuilt.

There are also a repository containing some laws in markdown format on GitHub. They even used PRs for actual changes proposed by the parties in the parliament. Also, the commits have their proper date, so you can `git blame` on the laws and even see which president signed-off that change.

No worries. DNI was in the chat room. Also we have no idea nor can we know if this is the first use of Signal by this or other administrations. We only know because someone goofed up.

So, let me say the quiet part aloud, the presence of DNI & NSC heavies indicates to me that Signal is possibly not really a "3rd party".
> I think that acting like the government refusing to fund a university where students are unable to learn because of rioters seems pretty rational

As I explained above, that's not remotely what this is about, and if none of the protests had happened Columbia would still be fighting for its life right now (just like every other university that has a large research budget is doing).
Nowhere in the "training you to be an adult" did anyone warn me the cost of paint, nor selection anxiety around finishes, styles, nor the hell that is selecting a color.

I am so glad I saw this today! I am in the market for a new dishwasher and was about to buy a Bosch tomorrow on the strength of online reviews. Not anymore! And you bet I will be asking to read the user's manual before buying, to make sure the manufacturer isn't trying similar shenanigans.
That is what you are imagining I am saying, but it is not what I said. I think everyone who lied us into the Iraq mess should have been civically un-personed decades ago. They should be limited to unclean jobs, and be required to walk a few steps behind their un-tainted betters. Yet as the Osho once said, "the people are retarded," so the architects of that catastrophe still hold prestigious positions. I will not waste an opportunity to remind people of what they did. The children do not understand how badly their futures have been diminished by this shedding of innocent blood.
Fair enough. I hadn't seen that, seems like he really is unhappy.
Imagine if he stays and obtains some critical information that later happens to get leaked. You're now a prime suspect for the leak, possibly facing charges of something like treason. I think leaving was the wise choice.
Yes, this really is the fall of the American empire... It is losing relevancy with each passing day, slowly but surely. Ironic considering their MAGA slogan.
That's not really the full story. The US didn't come up with the moon goal. It was the Soviets' plan already, which is why JFK publicly announced it in a speech: to force them into a public prestige battle. The Soviets had the habit of repeated private failure. If they achieved something, they'd announce it afterwards; if they failed, they kept quiet. The US broadcast launches on TV and pre-announced goals, which was a major propaganda effort and much more effective than post-flight releases.
Modula-2 is a language operating on the same level (direct memory addressing, no GC etc) but with saner syntax and semantics.

It's still a tad more complicated than it needs to be - e.g. you could drop non-0-based arrays, and perhaps sets and even enums.
Some of these solutions seem to copy the .vm file and rewrite it in another programming language. Is this permitted? Seems like cheating to not count the time spent compiling and transforming that code in the runtime of the program.
I love the Brownsville trail and the views it has! I've only ever gone up on it, actually. Intriguingly, the trail map shows a steam donkey near the Futures Trail that I'm dying to go check out. Might have to go up that way the next time I'm down.

What's your take on why certain countries will have it cheaper and subsidies being at the forefront? An energy driven race to the bottom, is perhaps what you mean? I would suppose I have been seeing that China is ahead on their Renewables plan compared to the rest of the world, and they still have the lead on coal energy, so they'd likely be the winners on that front. But did you actually mean something else?
On the other hand it does have container tabs which reduce the need for private browsing mode a lot and is great for long standing isolated sessions <3

I respect the EFF but their Section 230 stance is a huge blind spot. At least they know not to bite the hand that feeds them, like the ACLU and the 2A.
I thought it would be, given that C is designed in such a way that a single pass ought to be sufficient. Single-pass compilers were not uncommon in that era.
They are different stories. This is more about the widespread, illegal Signal usage than the war plans accidentally leaked over Signal. Both are major stories. One is an extraordinary security incident. The other is concerted effort to bypass recordkeeping and disclosure. Nobody will ever be able to be able to FOIA these messages, which rightfully belong to the American people.

I mean, is Bosch the bad guy here or the salesperson? It sounds like they either lied or were incompetent.

I guess maybe both are bad. Yesterday I tried to configure a friend’s wifi router after the speed was suspiciously slow. It forced me to ask them for their Spectrum login info (the same info they use to pay the bills, not the wifi info) which nobody remembered and I gave up. Apparently this is required according to https://www.reddit.com/r/Spectrum/s/3sLnHuWgEF

So if we’re badmouthing companies that lock physical functionality behind a cloud, add Spectrum. Not that you’ll have much choice if they’re the only provider, but still.

The more I think about it, the more I agree with you. What if you have someone house sitting? You really need to download the Bosch app to their phone just to use the same dishwashing routine that you usually do? Blah.

Any alternatives to Bosch that don’t do this?
Didn't say it's not big, only that Apple themselves build it to service their own ecosystem only. The fact it runs any of these tools is simply a result of the Unix-y core. If you want 100% compatibility with Linux tools, Linux is still the best bet (obviously).
OpenAI is worth >$100B because of the "ChatGPT" name which it turns out, over 400M+ users use it weekly.

That name alone holds the most mindshare in it's product category, and is close to the level of name recognition just like Google.
There will always be something so beautiful about node/graph programming systems that simultaneously allow you to go back and forth between the text-based program and the graph representation of the program. That fact that Modelica lets you do this with differential equations in a declarative style, including fairly strong encapsulation capabilities, is quite powerful and fun. The only other system I’ve worked with that gave me a similar feeling of being able - at least theoretically, ha! - to model absolutely anything so long as enough attention to interfaces between systems was paid is OpenMDAO.

The main other example that comes to mind is Cycling 74s Gen for Max/MSP.

Anyways, for those who are curious, Modelica was originally developed for the automotive/aerospace industries (IIRC) but is used in all sorts of fields - for me in particular, I know about it because of its use in modeling operational energy in buildings - everything from geothermal borehole fields and mesh topology district heating/cooling systems to complicated HVAC controls and more.

OpenModelica is the main open source tool for building and running modelica programs, and there are python wrappers you can use as well!

This is very stereotypical Hacker News blog post.

The only thing is, you know you can, like, buy a dishwasher that doesn't connect to Wifi?

At this point some things are better with bluetooth/wifi. The laundry machine in my building connects via Bluetooth to an app and I can pay for my laundry using it. Do you realize how much better that is than having to go to the bank every few weeks (during work because of course the bank hours are 10-4 these days), get a bunch of quarters, and use them to wash my clothing?

I guess the point is there's more nuance to the HN kneejerk reaction to "Internet of things bad" - some things are easier, some things are dumb marketing gimmicks that quickly die off. Ultimately the market sorts itself out. If people don't want to use an app for their dishwasher, manufacturers will stop making them. Remember 3D TVs?
Yeah the thing I love about container tabs is that they are tabs. I have so many containers, I don't want a separate window for each of them.
My relatively new Bosch dishwasher has real buttons and an LED display. No wifi required
It’s kind of a silly question in that the neural architecture of neural nets is really only loosely inspired by neurology, and that basic vague neurology is shared by neurotypical people and neurodivergent people and animals and even bugs.
Just to clarify

> I think everyone involved in the Iraq mess should have been civically un-personed decades ago. They should be limited to unclean jobs, and be required to walk a few steps behind their un-tainted betters. Yet as the Osho once said, "the people are retarded," so the architects of that catastrophe still have jobs. I will not waste any opportunity to remind people of what they did.

My mistake.
I'm not sure about max identifier length in general, but identifiers exported across translation units (i.e. non-static in modern C) were limited to 6 significant chars as late as ISO C90, although I don't think there were still any compilers around at the time that actually made use of this limit.
I largely agree with you. I do think that for the people with ADHD who graduated college and got advanced degrees, who held down jobs in industry for years before getting an inkling they had ADHD - they should indeed use the theraputic ladder, starting with therapy first.

I don't say that because I think medication is inherently evil, but because I believe the therapy actually worked quite well in my case. If other people can get the step change in their quality of life for the cost of relatively short term, and avoid a lifetime of medication, why would they not? I want people to consider this option.

And yes, see a real doctor - and not one who, like mine, heard my story and said "OK you've probably got it, here's a prescription for adderall".

Edit to add: I feel you wrt to the parental stigma. It burned me as well. My parents took me to some lab visit where they hooked me up to an EEG and made me press buttons when lights went on. Weirdly enough, the novel situation was quite stimulating for me, and I was given a clear negative diagnosis. Any time the topic came up again after that I was shut down. Took until my 20s to get any help for it, and another 5 years to seek therapy, which has been great.
I think this manual page shows what's available with and without the app: https://www.manua.ls/bosch/shx65cm5n/manual?p=5

Available options from the buttons:
Auto Air, Sanitize

Additional cycles from the app:
Rinse, Machine Care

Additional options from the app:
Halfload, Eco, Delay

I believe that with the app you can set one of the additional cycles to be the "Favorite" button, but I haven't tried this.
Section 230 protects big tech by removing liability from what they publish, giving a competitive advantage to big tech over local newspaper and other media.

Because local newspapers are responsible for what they publish, they don’t get the viewership that unfiltered social media can get. This is why local news does, because of section 230.
This reminds me of the EU regulations, which not only:

1. _require_ dishwashers to have an Eco mode, not locked behind anything, but also

2. _require_ Eco mode to be the default. If you buy a dishwasher in the EU and turn it on, and press "start", it'll be on Eco mode, the mode that uses the least water/power.

If you don't care about the dishwasher other than to turn it on, and it works for you, then everybody wins. If it doesn't wash as much as you'd like, or takes longer thank you'd like, you can still have all the other dishwasher modes (express, intensive, etc.).

The whole point of the regulation is to make the default mode the most energy efficient. I find it absolutely crazy that a German company, when given free rein in the USA, would actually paywall Eco mode. It's just mind-boggling.
"governments" may not, but the political parties running them certainly do. And changes in political parties can change what services government delivers. Heck, you don't even need a change in parties for that to happen.
