Some chemical suppliers seem to have autogenerated items, some/many are non-sense and I guess they just hope that you find something and they can make it? I found the example below a while ago but they have since removed it.

The Democrats Are in Denial About 2024
I agree on the interpretation on the resentment of MAGA, but I do think the administration is fascist and the president should be removed and sentenced for treason. To MAGA, saving lives abroad by spending a small portion of our budget looks like a scam, like lipstick on imperialism. It's complimentary to describe military as a force for freedom rather than overpaid security guards for oligarchy, but MAGA are in on that joke. MAGA doesn't see any war as "stupid", nor do they sincerely mind private email servers or inflation and obviously don't actually value economic growth. Attributing rationality will leave you confused, the only consistent value among MAGA is accelerationism.

I kept on reading because I use OSes that have different init systems, one of which is systemd. Choice is great. Of course, your comment could be accused of being a rant too.
We're finally testing supersonic planes again... 22 years after the Concorde stopped.
> It's not like people just one-shot a whole module of code, why would LLMs?

For conversions between languages or libraries, you often do just one-shot it, writing or modifying code from start to end in order.

I remember 15 years ago taking a 10,000 line Java code base and porting it to JavaScript mostly like this, with only a few areas requiring a bit more involved and non-sequential editing.
Off topic but this is much more of a common sentiment than I had thought. There was an anime series about this - 宇宙よりも遠い場所 — literally about high schoolers who wanted to go to the antarctic.
Why is Grok not in their benchmarks? I don't see comparisons to Grok in any recent announcements about models. In fact, I see practically no discussion of Grok on HN or anywhere except Twitter in general.

I wonder if there's a confounding factor here, because that's precisely where I tend to notice it the most. The anticaking agent lends a grainyness to an otherwise smooth foodstuff.

Are you thinking more of a cheese sauce, or cheese that gets melted into e.g. a burrito?
Well, it's intended to explain everything so, y'know.
Ubuntu can have zfs with an install of a package.

BSD’s inability to utilize docker ecosystem had me decided to stick with Ubuntu for a decade, unless things change and BSD gets clear advantages over Linux.
Oh I just realized I missed the "during the school day" part of the comment I cited. That's totally my mistake. For what it's worth, I agree with banning during the school day but (although no one is making the point here) I would disagree with banning them from children everywhere always.
I want someone to lampoon tech problems of today still existing in the future. Sorry, we've gotta push software updates iOS 186.3 which will require 30 minutes.
> So instead of trying to enumerate them all individually (which probably wasn't possible anyway), they identified the areas where they knew they could define firm semantics and allowed the stuff outside that boundary to be "undefined", so existing environments could continue to implement them compatibly.

These things didn't become undefined behavior. They became implementation defined behavior. The distinction is that for implementation defined behavior, a compiler has to make a decision consistently.

The big point of implementation defined behavior is 1s vs 2s complement. I believe shifting bits off the end of an unsigned int is also considered implementation defined.

For implementation defined behavior, the optimization of "assume it never happens" isn't allowed by the standard.

It seems wrong to me that most of what people now call cheese is not at all like what I think of as "real cheese". I have ended up making cheese and it is both fascinating, productive and tasty. While there are many "recipes" for cheeses, they are mainly focused on preparing the cheese for aging. These are often techniques, like washing the curd (gouda) or cheddaring (cheddar).

The aging part takes more work. I converted a 7.5 CU refrigerator using an Inkbird temp controller. That works surprisingly well. Currently I'm attempting to improve the humidity control with a humidity version of the Inkbird.

But highly recommended. I have everything I made (even the failures) with the exception of one of the first attempts.
And where in the Constitution do we find this notion of "rights of citizens". The Constitution governs how the federal government is allowed to act and the powers it has been given (by the states and people).

The troubling aspect is (besides the denials of course) is the absence of controls that should have sniffed this out ASAP. Apparently:
- no passive network monitors showing an unknown IP/Mac/Location
- no SOAR to kill off the attempts to gain a foothold/move laterally
- no alerts on above or anything else in the SOC
99% of my issues with systemd are that it is a kitchen sink mentality. If it just dealt with process and service management, it'd mostly be minor quibbles - it was time to replace init with something.

But instead it also does NTP, DHCP/networking, logging, etc. There were some very annoying teething issues with a lot of these components. It became more difficult to isolate problems buried within the systemd stack. It also became a pain to do some common, basic tasks. When the first distros starting supporting it, getting the systemd/journald logs for all the services into a central logging service was extremely painful. With (r)syslog it is just one line in a config. Heck, even the config files for systemd are littered all over the place.

It didn't help that the systemd head (Lennart Poettering) was extremely intransigent with any complaints, often outright refusing to deal with various historical edge cases for long-established norms.

And yes, by doing all this it the broke the long-held UNIX philosophy of "do one thing really well" and that continues to ruffle a lot of feathers. I've mainly accepted the fact that it won out, but it's helped by the fact that I'm now mostly using it to start a docker orchestrator and that all the networking is now handled by cloud-computing resources.
You're misrepresenting my original point. My initial comment was to highlight the act of capturing someone off the street, not to equate that with arrests over op-eds or argue legal parity between Ukraine and the US.

I never said "the US is being invaded by a foreign government". I referenced information publicly shared by the White House. That’s a valid source, regardless of who signed the executive order. We don’t get to dismiss official government communication just because we dislike the administration.

Also, I was replying directly to _your_ points, not shifting the topic. You brought up the US legal system, war declarations, and due process. I simply responded to each.

Legally speaking, Ukraine has not declared war on Russia, so saying "Ukraine is not at war" is technically correct.

And finally, I never claimed executive orders can override constitutional rights - that’s a straw man. Let’s focus on what was actually said rather than rewriting it to make it easier to attack.
> think there's a lot of code that gets written that's either disposable or effectively "write only" in that no one is expected to maintain it. I have friends who write a lot of this code for tasks like data analysis for retail and "vibe coding" isn't that crazy in such a domain.

> Basically, what's worse? "Vibes" code that no one understands or a cascade of 20 spreadsheets that no one understands?

Correction: it's a "cascade of 20 spreadsheets" that one person understood/understands.

Write only code still needs to work, and someone at some point needs to understand it well enough to know that it works.
I think the truth is the future is emulation.

In the unlikely event someone does manage to replace the assembler with something portable it would be somewhat ironic that RISC-V targets would start to be viable.

I grew up on RISC OS, and even I'm mystified as to quite why it has persisted in some quarters for so long.
I think it's a useful anecdote because it underscores how catastrophically unreliable* agents can be, especially in the hands of users who aren't experienced in the particular domain. In the domain of programming, it's much easier to quantify a "catastrophic" scenario vs. more open-ended "real world" situations like booking a flight.

* "unreliable" may not be the right word. For all we know, the agent performed admirably given whatever the user's prompt may have been. Just goes to show that even in a relatively constricted domain of programming, where a lot (but far from all) outcomes are binary, the room for misinterpretation and error is still quite vast.
Linus is too in-bed with Microsoft.

RedHat the main powerhouse behind Linux ans is now owned by IBM. And Ubuntu is just corporate Debian who pushes their own proprietary (Flatpak) software which is cobbled together and just generally sucks.

Systemd is bloated in wanting to do everything at once. I have never had a linux systemd distribution that just shutdowns without prompting me "waiting x/2minutes - x/y retries".

FreeBSD is my daily driver and will always be my primary. Once you get over the "eww it's bsd" linux snobbery you start to realise how solid it actually is.

Wifi works, graphics work. Wine and Proton works. Ports is fantastic and kernel compiling is easy. It even works on my MSI 2024 laptop. [1]

Linux is lost in a communistic maze of leap frog.

I think you are generalizing from your own tastes.

Just because you don't notice something doesn't mean that others don't.

I started to notice this when I was hanging out with a very smart friend who worked as a restaurant cook. They just noticed heaps of stuff I didn't if we went out for a meal. I wasn't sure if it was training or natural ability.

When his colleagues from other countries complain about Trump's erratic trade policy, and he says "What if Trump was doing something completely different from what he is doing in reality, wouldn't that be reasonable?" do they actually agree?

Or do they think they're being gaslit and the question avoided?

He's got roughly 48 hours before the reality of Trump's latest tariff announcements make him look like a fool or a genius.

I guess the plan is to get this out there so that the Trump admin can copy his answers because, according to reporting, no one in the admin even knows what the plan actually is.

But even if that happens, is Trump going to stick to this (or any other) plan?
I run Linux, macOS, FreeBSD, and SmartOS/illumos in various capacities personal and professional.

Each has its own strengths, but I choose FreeBSD for home servers (shared file/media server. and network gateway), for a few specific reasons:

- ZFS (on root, fully integrated tooling for jails, etc)
- More consistency/less churn in base system (great for set-and-forget systems)
- Ports/pkg (still better than any Linux pkg manager)
> but near-impossible to write incorrect code.

Except most bugs are about unforeseen states (solved by limiting code paths and states) or a disconnect between the real world and the program.

So it’s very possible to write incorrect code in rust…
Oop, I totally missed the "during the school day" part of the grandparent comment. I totally agree with banning them during the school day. My argument was against the point that the grandparent wasn't making which was banning phones from K-12 students both during and after the school day
They are open-core. The offline-write feature (libsql::Builder::new_synced_database) basically does not work with the bare `sqld` server on their `libsql` github repository.

In fairness though their `libsql::Builder::new_remote_replica` works with the bare `sqld`
This makes it sound more ad hoc than it is, it's not some polynomial where people just tack on terms.

In its current agreed upon form it's just SU(3)xSU(2)xU(1). This gauge symmetry defines the lagrangian, which has 19 parameters to be determined by experiment.

It's true that this isn't the whole story (dark matter etc), but these symmetries are physically motivated and their predictive power is pretty amazing (the QED part is CORRECT as far as any experiment has been able to check so far).
Do you think people coming out of the military - many with no skills that they thought could help them get a job after they left - went to college to be better citizens of the world and not to get a job?

If you listen to military recruiters now, they emphasize the ability to be able to get a job after you leave through training.

Also the statistics show that lower income people statistically go into the military.

When you look at Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, I can guarantee you that most people’s first priority is to support their addictions to food and shelter and are most concerned with making money to do so. It’s only the privileged who have parents who can support them while they are getting launched who can afford to get degrees in areas like Ancient Chinese Art History or more realistically journalism and work for low pay in high cost of living areas.
The reddit post feels like engagement bait to me.

Why would you ask the community a question like "how to source control" when you've been working with (presumably) a programming genius LLM that could provide the most personally tailored path for baby's first git experience? Even if you don't know that "git" is a thing, you could ask questions as if you were a golden retriever and the model would still inevitably recommend git in the first turn of conversation.

Is it really the case that a person who has the ability to use a compiler, IDE, LLM, web browser, reddit, etc., somehow simultaneously lacks the ability to frame basic-ass questions about the very mission they set out on? If stuff like this is not manufactured, then we should all walk away feeling pretty fantastic about our future job prospects.
Fully concur

The fact that people still hang on to the outdated epistemology of the dialectic is absurd given the domination of empiricism in real world
One of my first legit independent contractor jobs was a background job for coldfusion-based website that needed to get partners to update their data periodically. The business had figured out that their building supply partners were more responsive to faxes than emails and had a desktop window machine with a fax-modem used for that. A quick "micro-service" in classic asp to bridge the website to the desktop machine and they made it through the last few years of common usage of faxing for these kinds of things.
It'd be nice if the post went into how conflict resolution will (?) work because that's the hard part here and the main selling point imo.
The problem with Devin wasn't that it was a black box doing too much. It's that the outcome demo'd were fake and what was inside the box wasn't an "AI engineer."

Transparency? If it worked even unreliably, nobody would care what it does. Problem is stochastic machines aren't engineers, don't reason, are not intelligence.

I find articles attacking Ai but finding excuses in some mouse rather than pointing at the elephant, exhausting.
This doesn't really make sense. The Democrats mainly, but also Republicans, have been reshaping our culture using federal funding for many many years now, using rules associated with federal funding, decisions for where federal funding goes to (one clear example being museum and arts funding), policies handed down from Department of Education and other federal organizations and departments, etc etc.

I guess more people notice it now that Republicans are doing this so openly but the use of federal power to reshape our culture is a well established process.

Also what does live and let live get them, especially with the other side pushing so hard? A slippery slope to an immoral society.
Of course wealthy or "petit bourgeois" can be leftists or Marxists or whatever, they have typically made up the intelligentsia of most left-wing revolutions historically.

But the material interests of the wealthy align with the status quo that allowed them to acquire their wealth. This becomes less true as the "polycrisis" of climate change intensifies, since at some point there will be no future to enjoy, regardless of how much money you have.

Also I will argue that the reactionary propaganda comes from the top-down, not the bottom-up.

They have been used extensively for decades while educational outcomes have plummeted which proves the veracity of your claim

I'm confused?

That seems to prove exactly what I was saying. That if you only allow kids to read the books that are "consistent with scripture" they are less educated. I'll take this opportunity to add that making any "scripture" the leading voices, leads to less educated kids.

Your ideas will lead to the "dumbing down" of a society. I mean, maybe it will be a society sufficiently dumb enough to accept the doctrinal import of your preferred scriptures? But it'd still be a pretty dumb society.
Because the system exhibits rotational symmetry. It follows from Noether's theorem that angular momentum is conserved. Only when you include the interactions with other stellar bodies you lose the symmetry and you have an opportunity to shed angular momentum.

> the cynicism isn't out of fear or panic, its disappointment over and over and over

Very much this. When you criticize LLM's marketing, people will say you're a ludite.

I'd bet that no one actually likes to write code, as in typing into an editor. We know how to do it, and it's easy enough to enter in a flow state while doing it. But everyone is trying to write less code by themselves with the proliferation of reusable code, libraries, framework, code generators, metaprogramming,...

I'd be glad if I could have a DAW or CAD like interface with very short feedback (the closest is live programming with Smalltalk). So that I don't have to keep visualizing the whole project (it's mentally taxing).
I have had BSD as my router for a few years in the past and used Linux for a few decades but I never got this “BSD is cleaner” argument. Linux has man pages and Google gives you plenty more practical resources when in doubt and nothing felt unstable compared to “BSD is more tightly integrated” statement.

Lack of community resource such as documents, blogs, StackOverflow answers and docker ecosystem just drove me away from BSD as I lose nothing by using Linux. The only thing I miss could be OpenBSD’s pf.
I had huge success letting Gemini 2.5 oneshot whole codebases in a single text file format and then split it up with a script. It's putting in work for like 5 minutes and spits out a working codebase, I also asked it to show of a little bit and it almost one shotted a java cloud service to generate pdf invoices from API calls, (made some minor mistakes but after feeding them back it fixed them)

I basically use two scripts one to flatten the whole codebase into one text file and one to split it,
give it a shot it's amazing...

French nuclear doctorine is and has always been a first strike doctorine if necessary for the national integrity of france.

European stability can only be reached by dettering russia and keeping its posture large enough on the world stage to not get gobbled up between the US and China.

Further integration, especially on the internal stage seems to be the only path forward in which european nations are somewhat able to determine their own destiny without being picked off by the other major powers.
