> which just has a chilling effect on perception of the industry

I see what you're saying, but your message implies that this perception of the industry isn't understandable/fair on a personal level and/or that it doesn't reflect the trajectory the industry has taken. Do you feel the perception among consumers is not earned, or that it is not "fair" for people to feel this way as the tools and places people use to use change, switch to subscriptions, harvest ever more data, fight against ad blocking technology, etc.?

This isn't the fault of the tech journalists in my opinion, their bitterness and the tech industry's perception is a symptom of a shared root cause in my opinion.
i don't think it didn't catch. while unikraft (the kernel) is not a new project, the unikraft cloud is very recent (at most one year old i think).

we share the same vision for eliminating the idle time costs, but the approach is quite different:
- their software is closed source (we have no idea what runs those unikernels; probaly kvm)
- they can run linux too, but the focus is on running their other product: the unikraft kernel
- other than the cold-start performance, they have the same issues all the other main cloud providers.

> However, because the Admission Controller lacks authentication, an attacker with minimal network access could craft and send arbitrary AdmissionReview requests from any pod within the cluster.

Do I understand this correctly?

- To exploit this vulnerability, you need to send a request directly to a kubernetes resource, the admission controller, something that is generally not possible unless you have a misconfiguration on the level of "MySQL server is reachable from any external ip".

- Exploiting this vulnerability by communicating with the nginx server itself is not possible.

- Normally, kubernetes resources should never be accessible from the internet. This requires an obviously dangerous misconfiguration or extremely lax security standards. Ideally, no one should be able to tell you are using kubernetes from outside.
I totally agree with you. I don’t know if there will be any value in the future in continuing to code without AI assistants. I mean, in the physical world, handmade goods are valuable… but the question is whether anyone will value handcrafted code. I hope so
IIRC there was talk of that being a disaster because they wanted to avoid giving the contract to one single company and mandated it was split up with different companies doing different bits.

So they deliberately sharded the contract and so there was endless bureaucracy and politics and blame-gaming between the companies who are normally competing against each other for work and so on.

It's kinda interesting really. I don't think it would have gone much better if a single company did everything as the often seems to be a clusterfuck regardless (example: post office horizon system)... Then you look at a big company like meta or Google and they're churning out systems that pretty much work and at huge scale.. are the people incompetent at consulting companies? Are the customers incompetent? Perhaps there are a million legacy dependencies that needs to be dealt with (but that is true with meta etc al too).

Interesting interesting. I know freelancers whose line of work is basically to get contracted in while Fujitsu or Accenture or IBM or whoever is there doing work, and basically just try to stop them pulling the wool over the eyes of the clients. Their whole careers have basically been calling bullshit on consultants.

the most recent version has `import std;` in the very first hello world, which to my knowledge is not close to working in the vast majority of compilers.
There are many parallels, yes. The Lockheed Martin F-35 is the flying manifestation of the US military-industrial hardware corporation complex, and Palantir's software is the Silicon valley military-surveillance big-data software corporation complex equivalent.

And the new awareness will be similar

It's debatable which is more dangerous. Warplanes or lack of air defence poses one risk in a hot war, surveillance data poses a different risk but is in the background all the time.
A mixture of both. Some of those were copycats and some of those came before me, (the iPhone app, but I didn't know about it when I made the website). The point I was making was there's lots of clones happening when you go viral.
Its interesting because last year I did an experiment where I put ~6" of wood chip mulch and slow release fertilizer over the root zones of several trees (climate 6a), and now that its spring, every tree that got the thick coat of mulch has leafed out or budded significantly more than those that just got fertilizer. (sample size of around 10 trees in bad dirt in boulder. YMMV)
I have some friends who live in the Houston suburbs. They bought one of the CO2-based mosquito traps. Seemed to work.

Although it's absolute hell on plastics, DEET is incredibly effective as a mosquito repellent. At least in the US, you can buy 99%+ pure DEET at Home Depot.

How do you know about a billion-dollar multinationals threatening suit?
Hey HN,

We launched Barawave, an AI-powered Cloud ERP, just a few months ago, and we've already hit 5,000+ users. It’s been a wild ride, and we wanted to share what we learned—both the wins and the mistakes.

What Worked:
Solving a Real Pain Point – Traditional ERPs are slow, rigid, and outdated. We built an AI-driven system that’s flexible and easy to use.
Leaning Into AI Automation – Automating workflows like invoicing, CRM, and inventory saved businesses tons of time.
Bootstrapped Growth Hacks – No big ad spend—just smart SEO, direct outreach, and leveraging platforms like HN, Product Hunt, and Reddit.
Building in Public – Transparent product updates and listening to user feedback helped build trust fast.

What Didn’t Work (And What We Fixed):
Trying to Do Too Much at Once – We launched with too many features. Simplifying the onboarding flow helped a lot.
Underestimating Customer Education – Users needed more guidance on AI automation. We added better tutorials and onboarding.
Ignoring Community Early On – Engaging directly with early adopters on HN, Twitter, and Slack made a huge difference.

We’re still figuring things out, but we’d love to hear your thoughts:

What’s been your experience with ERPs?

Have you scaled a SaaS product fast? What worked for you?

Any feedback on Barawave? We’re always open to ideas.

Check out Barawave here or AMA!
Of course they are.
It's how they make their money.
The big email providers generally don't make their money from selling email services,
it's a thing they offer as an in to sell the services that do generate profits.
On the other hand, successfully sending an email that bypasses both technical and human barriers is spammer's business.
I am genuinely worried that when I am old there won't be anything that I could buy that would not be an enshittified device... until them I am going to keep hoarding what I can that would outlast my life.
This is nonsense perpetuated by wanna be naturalists. Disease carrying mosquitos could just cease to exist and we will be fine. This topic has been discussed countlessly even here.
Wow — thank you for this. You totally get the pain we’re trying to solve, and I really appreciate the encouragement

Funny enough, “The Anti-LinkedIn” has come up more than once during this launch - and I agree, the copy kind of writes itself when people feel the same pain.

Also +1 on Huntr — great tool! We’re focused more on visibility and standing out before the apply button, but I think they complement each other well.

You nailed something really important: the real opportunity is to create networks with actual signal — thoughtful discussions, deep expertise, and real connection. Not the dopamine feed. We’re starting super lightweight, but that’s absolutely part of the long-term vision.

And yeah… LinkedIn Learning + random recruiter spam + engagement farming = what pushed us to build this in the first place. Thanks again for taking the time — would love to stay in touch as we build.
This is what I started thinking last night. Any of the people who were added to the chat could be disgruntled and add a reporter to the chat to leak it. Is there even any log of who added who to a chat? There might not even be any way to pin it on the leaker. If the leaker had been involved in several such chats and knew the intent was to intentionally violate federal recordkeeping laws, not only would this accomplish the leak, but there might not even be any record of who caused the leak.

By labelling some reviews as paid reviews, readers are fooled to believe other reviews are not paid.
Musk severely overpaid for X. The valuation is not the same as the price someone paid for it or would pay for it. Someone could today buy it at twice the valuation, it would be dumb, but they could.

Musk actually wanted to terminate the sale, but the twitter board chair pursued legal action to force the sale[1] at the $44 billion discussed here.

If Bret Taylor did not force Musk to pay that severely inflated price, Donald Trump would likely not be president today. Not all heros wear capes.

Building a bridge and building a sand castle are two entirely different things.

Each impressive in their own way, but clearly there is a difference both in terms of the skills required and the outcomes enabled.

I think the specific term used matters less than the ability to distinguish between different types of building things.

If you want to build a bridge, you’re not going to hire the sand castle builder if sand castles are all they have built.
> Actually getting SPF, DKIM and DMARC right and having a domain with a 0 spam score will still land you in the spam directory.

This little bit of wisdom gets passed around all the time, but it's actually not true. You can send email from a brand new domain to Google and Microsoft and whoever just fine. What you can't do is send email from a brand new domain, and a brand new email server--or an email server on a VPS, or an email server on a residential IP. Residential IP blocks are almost completely blocked, because of unsecured devices being used to send spam, and VPS blocks have the same problem. You can get around this by using a mail relay, or building your domains reputation on a server that already has a good reputation.

I lived in Java, Indonesia for a year and ran barefoot, and only wore sandals to the mosque. You wash your feet 5x per day for the 5 daily obligatory prayers, so it works out well. An earlier post here about a person barefoot in all seasons and on the subway train, well, that's another story. I grew up in Brooklyn in the 60s through the 80s, and I can't see that at all. But then again, NYC is a lot cleaner now than it was then. My foot spread out and feels so much more usable to grab at the trail and less stiff without pain. I started running barefoot in 2007, but not as frequent or as long as a competitive runner would; it was more of a 30-minute run 3 to 4x per week at a mild pace . I'm 60 now and have no back, knee, foot or other joint pain or soft tissue issues. I did run on the front of my feet, and with a bicycle pedalling type of motion of my feet. Now, I wear Xeros and a cheap rip-off of the Vibram minimal sole shoes for my daily town/city walking and running.
That which is asserted without evidence can be refuted without evidence.

So, how are they different?

I'm not even disagreeing, but it needs to be elaborated upon.
> […] about companies like Microsoft having dozens of varying domain names.

There's a difference between one and dozens, and even between one dozen and dozens.

Most companies are not of Microsoft's size either: just having news.example.com would probably be sufficient for a lot places.
Man has bigger ambitions. Teslas were just a stepping stone to whatever he's unleashing on the world now from the White House.

Or he's completely deranged and the drugs have irreversibly damaged his mind. Both scenarios, or some intersection therein, are plausible.
That is the point - nobody does this in the real world so you don't have the solution memorized. However doing it is "easy" enough that you can actually do it in an interview. More than once I've worked with someone who had a great resume with a lot of experience, but we quickly figured out once they were on the job that they couldn't write code (I was sometimes involved in the hiring decision, but I never did the hiring alone).

What the world is looking for in question like that is enough to figure out if you can program. Most people looking for a job have a lot of experience but they can't show you any code.

Any sane company in the US will only confirm the dates someone worked there and they "left on good terms" - they will not tell you if the person was any good. If they must fire someone HR will often offer to let the person write a resignation letter on the spot thus meaning the the person leaves on good terms - it is to your advantage overall to accept this offer - you can't sue for wrongful termination which protects them, but in turn they will say you left on good terms instead of giving a bad reference.

As such there is often no indication someone is bad and so they can jump from job to job despite being incompetent. Questions like this exist because you can solve it (at least a simplified version of ASCII only, if you need to work with unknown character set it gets hard)
> a pyramid of shite

Why do some people use such abominations like "shite" or "shoot" instead of just using "shit"? C'mon lads, everyone knows what you want to say, why not just say it?
The video is over an hour long, where does he state what the actual difference is? I assume it is just along the lines of "coding requires high level thinking, while programming does not". If so, the question becomes: who has a "programming" job today then? If the answer is "no one", then "programming" isn't an actual job and therefore fine to use either term.
You can't avoid fingerprinting. Drawing a real life comparison: Even having no finger at all is a identifiable characteristic in itself.

The only thing you can do is minimize and standardize the amount of identifiable characteristics shared like the tor browser does.

He doesn’t care. Spacex is more important for him, personally. He has a larger stake (percentage wise) in spacex.

Also, Tesla just jumped bc Musk said that there’s going to be full sell driving in china…. Next year…

We’re back to 2017-era strategies but in china this time.

Imagine if people started calling constant functions, programs methods, etc. Words have meanings. Coder does imply that the key thing of those people is producing code the same cows make milk.

Collecting feedback via waitlists is broken - here's my fix
I built WaitlistGui.de after struggling to collect meaningful, actionable feedback from early adopters during my past launches. Traditional waitlists only collect emails but don’t offer enough insight to truly validate an idea so I decided to fix that.

How WaitlistGuide Works:

→ Add your product details & waitlist link

→ Pick a launch date from our calendar

→ Get upvotes, feedback, and waitlist signups from actual potential users

→ Launch with a community that’s invested in your success

Hope you find a value!
To me, it's pretty funny. It's like we're being told "hey, don't worry, this is the world's smartest guy, and he's going to, in a heartbeat, examine every dollar of spending and tell us what to cut. And oh yeah, he didn't anticipate that Tesla might be hurt by his actions."
You should look into beam.cloud (I'm the founder, but it's pretty great)

It lets you quickly run long-running jobs on the cloud by adding a simple decorator to your Python code:

from beam import function

# Some long training function
@function(gpu="A100-80")
def handler():
return {}

if __name__ == "__main__":
# Runs on the cloud
handler.remote()

Fully open-source also.
At around 32 minutes, he explained that a sufficient implementation of negative infinity would be the smallest possible value representable by the data type (e.g. 32 bit integers).
A group of idiots who share battle plans with journalists under commander in chief Trump have clearly displayed their incompetence in drawing consequences. That the idiots who illegally sent it know best was not even on my radar of possibilities and is a ridiculously reckless idea imo.

It is not even clear to me that preserving serviceman is one of the goals of these agencies, given they've marched them off to die in several needless wars. Sure maybe the agencies might have more information, that doesn't mean they're more likely to make decisions that preserve life. Deference to 'experts' in government has lead to much bloodshed.
Being so inflexible with the definition is not the same as being honest.

If I said "AB negative blood is common" or "Australians are common", most people wouldn't say I was being 'inflexible' if I said "only 1/3 of 1% isn't that common" and uneducated laypeople (and Australians) are usually just fine with that, too. But it's a hot button topic and the OP want's to derail the thread to it's pet peeve, and there's always someone who wants to pipe up with "I don't like your facts so I'll attack your intent".
No one said it wasn't. The articles cited both point it out specifically, and goes into some detail about how unjust it is.
The foundation of reputation is reliable identity.
He's convinced of himself being right / just / superior, just like Trump, just like many dictators. Personal / self-inflicted delusions.
Do you need a citation or can I safely assert: "Things are good for me that make me feel good absent it being a poison." I just don't think walking on grass or whatever is that far away from ground truth. Coming by in a thread discussing fairly universal experiences and asking for a citation isn't productive at all. "Ya well my great uncle didn't have feet so it would be excruciating for him to try to walk on grass." is just as productive.
He's already the richest man in the world, and a drug addled fascist nutjob (in true fascist tradition). Why would he care?
No, not particularly. Aung San Suu Kyi, possibly? Went from martyr to democracy to defending genocide (and has since been detained by another military coup, but is getting somewhat less sympathy this time round).

I'm guessing it's a sacrifice he's willing to make towards his goal, especially since he has other ventures such as SpaceX which if I had to guess has more potential value than an electric car company when there are a bunch other car companies getting into the game. There are a lot less rocket companies with comparable experience.
For me, it's just that being barefoot feels really nice - especially on a textured ground. But I'm on spectrum, so that's a part of that too.
> Coder, programmer, software engineer call yourself whatever you want, the point is to make a computer do what you want it to do.

The distinction is important because how you make the computer do things is important in many cases. At one end of the spectrum, your wasting resources if you have a software engineer working on a program that will be used for 5 years. At the other end of the spectrum, you're setting yourself up for pain if the program is going to be in use for 30 years (or is safety critical, or must produce verifiable results, or ...).

This isn't to say that the "hierarchy" should reflect some sort of software developer social class. It's just different skill-sets for different purposes.
This much? Hard to say. I'd say Kanye had a steep fall. Joe Rogaine is on his way, but a much slower trajectory. The ex-PM of Canada, Trudeau, definitely did some damage to his popularity over time.

But these are all kind of dime a dozen examples of brand destruction compared to how much Elon has hurt the Tesla brand, IMO.
i think he truly doesn't care.
even if $TSLA => 0$ even then he might still be the richest guy on earth
I might be misremembering, but talking with a friend years ago he was talking about a "New Scientist" article that described how the brain is flushed/cleaned of most memories at age 4 and again at age 7. Or something like that.

I was also surprised with my kids at 4-5 remembering when they were 3 or so, but now those memories seem to be completely, or near completely gone (at age 10). Perhaps they are just remembering the remembrance.
People can use whatever word they want.
Bunny reported on rebinning a decade or so ago. He also talked about “ghost lines”, a crew would run a batch but not register it in the paperwork.
Strange take. Pixelated camouflage is and was an attempt to make a scale invariant camouflage (works at near and far distances) by encoding patterns at multiple spatial frequencies. It's far from "computers are cool" or pixel art.
I was about to type: the man could have done so much for this world. Instead he chose the dark side. What a sad story.
Most of the time, yes. But there are certain times where I prompt an AI to build X, and it delivers a seriously neat project. It's not all of the time, though.

It has only happened like twice where I saw the full power of LLMs. I don't understand it. It's like there's a switch to dumb these things down, but if you catch them at the right time, they will blow your mind. But yes, most times, they are horrible.

Or maybe I'm just crazy, i dunno.
I have had better results with Picaridin based repellents than with DEET. Picaridin does not have the same oily feel that leaves my skin crawling after repeated applications. It also seems to do a better job dissuading our local variety of horse flies which will bite you right through clothing.
