I’ve been using it for a hobby project targeting a Linux server deployment. It’s good, and I don’t think the Apple ties are what’s holding it back now, I think it’s a relative lack of good frameworks and libraries. What’s there is often excellent quality, but it’s still a bit hit and miss even for common library use cases.

Not a dumb question at all, it can work from space! I think getting enough return signal and contrast will be the main issues. Both can be solved with a big enough lens, but then cost and maintenance will become an issue. If the system can be optimized beyond needing a single lens per beam than it might be feasible!
I'm surprised they aren't talking about trying to take over Mexico too.
> Personally, I blame the Democrats for this.

Is there any reason in particular people should not be blaming Republican voters for "this"? The US had four full years of Trump and it was plain as day what he'd get up to from his campaign, and voters still think he was a good choice. At what point does the US stop coddling Republican voters and blaming Democrats, even if they ran a bad campaign?

The idea that a voter is ignorant and stupid to realize the consequences of their actions that they need a "campaign" telling them is frankly absurd.
What an absolute scammer lol.
There's a margin on TSLA stock at $112 or $115; Like some other commentator said as well - he collateralled TSLA stock to take a loan to buy Twitter.
To be fair they said one of the strongest models.

We're at the point now where any heavily monetized player can build one of the strongest models. I mean, especially with all of the incredibly open Chinese companies releasing cutting edge research now that most American firms have gone quiet or only releasing their tailings.
>almost all of my front-page posts were no-headers!

Those posts would all still be on the front page today if they had included headings!

But really, I admit that this is my most subjective point. I feel like headings are helpful, but a lot of the writers I admire don't use them (Paul Graham, Joel Spolsky, DHH).
We had a full four-year trial period for this administration, plus four years of additional public shenanigans, plus a published detailed action plan (Project 2025). I don’t know what else they could have done to make it obvious what you were voting for.

The Democrats put up an alternative that wasn’t very exciting, but it’s ridiculous to claim the choices were somehow equally bad. One of them was boring, the other was an unprecedented level of bad, like literally historically bad.
Tesla Dojo ? We're getting close to FSD on that - it was announced in 2019.

I saw it done with encrypted MPLS at a very large tech company.
This also lets all of his co-investors in X, who were likely pissed that their shares tanked, exchange their shares at an inflated value (but one that still sees them losing 25% of their original investment) for shares in a trendy yet likely overvalued AI company that they consider to have more upside.

The other part of this is that if TSLA stock drops to $100-ish he'll be at risk of being margin called on the loans he took against his holdings to buy X. I wouldn't be surprised if this deal involves some X shares being sold for cash (that was raised from VCs) to pay down those loans, and/or the lenders agreeing to take xAI stock in lieu of cash.

This whole thing seems like a big pyramid scheme. I don't think this is the last time we've seen this type of move: he'll keep starting companies that are at the forefront of whatever the current hype cycle is, then leverage the extremely inflated valuations to benefit himself.

Would Paul Graham say this?
I made an AI Paul Graham for advice on my startup. here is the convo:

Me:
what do you think of my startup? it's called agent vendor, and it's basically a marketplace for users to create their own agents with custom system prompts, tools, and settings, and monetize it. think shopify for AI

Paul:

Interesting idea. A marketplace for AI agents... Shopify for AI, as you put it. Let's break this down, drawing on some principles I've observed.

First, is this something people really want? Not just a "that's cool" reaction, but a genuine need? Are you solving a real pain point for a specific group of users? Who are your initial users going to be? How do you know they want this? "Because we and our friends want it" is the most convincing answer. Have you built a prototype? Are people using it, even though it's crude? Is it spreading by word of mouth?

Consider the "muck and brass" principle. Is this something that might be considered unsexy or involve a lot of "schlepping"? If so, that could be a good sign. It means fewer people will be drawn to it initially, leaving room for you to establish a foothold. What are the tedious, unglamorous parts of building and running this marketplace? Are you prepared to embrace those?

Now, let's talk about growth. How will you get this off the ground? Marketplaces are notoriously difficult to bootstrap. What unscalable things will you do initially to recruit both agent creators and users? Think Airbnb going door-to-door. What's the equivalent for Agent Vendor?

What about the market size? Is there a path to a huge market? Or is this a larval market - small now, but with the potential to grow rapidly? What trends will you ride? The increasing interest in AI is obvious, but what specific trends within AI will drive Agent Vendor's growth?

Finally, what about you and your team? Are you deeply knowledgeable about AI, prompt engineering, and the needs of both creators and users of AI agents? Are you "living in the future" in some sense? Are you prepared to be relentlessly resourceful?

In short, I'd ask yourself:

Who are the initial users, and how do you know they desperately want this?

What unscalable things will you do to get the marketplace going?

What's the path to a huge market?

Are you and your team the right people to build this?

If you can answer those questions convincingly, you might be onto something. If not, keep digging. The best startup ideas often come from solving problems you deeply understand and personally experience.

Maybe I didn't make myself clear enough. I read all kinds of philosophy (time permitting!) and it certainly doesn't have to be novel. However, when a philosopher adopts a rhetorical tone, I expect there to be some kind of catalyzing payload to justify it. Is that not reasonable?

I'd say truth is always being either discovered and recovered, and there's usually not too much difference. There's rarely anything new under the sun.
Elon sold 19B in stock, took a loan for 6.25B, and the rest was other investors.

The 6.25B loan, assuming he still has it, is really not an issue considering his net worth. He can add more collateral or sell a bit. In fact TSLA stock is higher now than when he bought Twitter.
Sam owns Reddit and OpenAI.. how is that new? Google also owns Gmail and all Google Services , as well as its AI.
I’ve not had much trouble either, not recently anyway. The transition from v1 → v2 → v3 was rough, but that’s par for the course when you’re an early adopter.

The new async model looks like a bit of a bear, but that’s why there’s a toggle for it that works on a per-module level so you can incrementally adopt it whenever you see fit.

Honestly I’ve had more pain out of the Kotlin/Android experience in the past several years. If Swift suddenly became a tier 1 language option there I’d switch right away.

Case in point: https://apnews.com/article/trump-law-firm-mueller-fc64fcda09...

> A prominent international law firm reached a deal with President Donald Trump on Friday to dedicate at least $100 million in free legal services and to review its hiring practices, averting a punishing executive order like the ones directed at nearly a half-dozen other major legal institutions in recent weeks.

This isn't theoretical. It's happening.
Fair enough. More of a reminder to pay attention to how TSMC approaches R&D in the states, since a part of the $165B investment is for a proposed R&D facility. If they focus on optimizing existing processes (as has been suggested) and keep the development of new processes in Taiwan, then that's a signal that we're not on a path to success (at least in Pat's eyes).
I think you’re showing us how low someone can go alright.
Interesting. I might have to get this PTP board, as I've never played with that. How much more precision do you get on the client side by eliminating the chronyd <-> network packet latency? There is still switching latency (I'm sure those things have buffers, because everything has a buffer these days) and the scheduling latency on the client side. Will I be able to notice this improvement with the right tools?

(In the past, I did this: https://github.com/jrockway/beaglebone-gps-clock, so I have a testbench for this sort of thing.)

Also, does anyone know if RTK helps much with timing? Every so often I connect up my clock to the NYS DOT RTK network (free!) and ... it works, but I don't know if it helps with anything.
In six years? We're talking pre-COVID graduations for both of us. I also started out making $1,200 a month in the U.S military. I chose the military precisely because I grew up in a very poor area where drug use and gang killings were rampant (my parents moved into a relatively affluent neighborhood shortly after I left).

So, your bullet points don't really describe my experience.

Well, you should. Saying "cops are thugs" because some cops are thugs is no different (morally speaking) than saying "black people are criminals" because some black people are criminals. It's wrong to judge an entire diverse group of people by the actions of a few, period.
>You get to pick winners AND be protected by section 230 of the Communications Decency Act from liability

That should be, and i thought was, prohibited. Either you're a common carrier (and protected as such) or you're editorializing. Unfortunately the enforcement seems to be lacking more and more, and that even without considering that Musk is probably not subject to any enforcement these days.
My first retort would be: do you read HN because you think it surfaces articles that are trending in the world at large?
Agree. The Christians that came with the Apostles mainly were Syrians who were traders and kept to themselves for 13-14 centuries.

The British Christians were engaged in evangelism and, consequently, set up colleges, schools, hospitals, and other such institutions. They were also involved in conversions that led to the penetration of Christianity from a minor fraction (during the time from the early AD till 18th century) to double digits. This was obviously instrumental for English language inculcation.
I’m also a DigitalOcean user, but I prefer managed K8s and don’t think there will ever be a reason to go back to having to deal with host OS things again. I’d rather just pay for my CPU/RAM, and give it Docker images to run, than worry about all that. And DOKS (DigitalOcean K8s) doesn’t cost any more than bare DigitalOcean boxes.

Cert-Manager is a CertBot-compatible K8s service that “just works” with deployed services. Nginx ingresses are a pretty standard thing there too. Monitoring is built-in. And with a few API keys, it’s easy to do things like deploy from GitHub actions when you push a commit to main, after running tests.

And perhaps most importantly, managed Kubernetes services let you attach storage for DB and clusters with standard K8s APIs (the only thing provider-/DigitalOcean-specific is the names of the storage service tiers). Also the same price as standard DigitalOcean storage with all their standard backups… but again, easier to set up, and standardized so that if DigitalOcean ever gets predatory, it’s easy enough to migrate to any of a dozen other managed K8s services.
There's a lot of negativity here, but tbh, it makes complete sense. Grok and X are really tightly integrated already, and it was strange that they were separate enterprises to begin with. That part was odd.

Fixing it isn't odd.

If you want to build electronics, such as your proposed 12-volt buck-boost converter, you'll find your job immensely easier if you can build them with microcontrollers. That goes double for test equipment. So I don't think it misses the point for that reason.
You know, I have really tried to like TeXmacs, and I just can't. It's kind of cool, but it really feels like an amateur product to me. The UI is hard to navigate, everything feels kind of clunky. The documents it produces look nice, so it's not "bad" or anything, but I found it kind of awkward to use.

As it stands, the compromise that I do is write Markdown and render it to LaTeX or XeLaTeX with Pandoc. Not claiming it's the "best" or anything, but the documents look nice to me and Markdown is easy to write.
Regulated banks are designed specifically not to blow up, because they take the money of innocents, of taxpayers, and the rest of the economy with them. That was a cause of the Great Depression, the 'Great Recession' of 2008, and many similar negative events.

That's why the US created the Federal Reserve, deposit insurance (FDIC), and bank regulation - to prevent those things.

> They may blow up from some completely unrelated risky venture.

That's not the case with regulated banks.
Well, the writing was on the wall.

We'll love bailing out the crypto scammers like we bailed larger banks.

> Optimistically speaking it could happen as soon as after Nov of 2026 (midterms).

The midterms could have some meaningful effect a lot sooner than that if we start seeing across-the-board primary challenges of pro-Trump Republicans. Of course, all of this is assuming that the broad Republican constituency have to some extent gone anti-Trump, and I really don't know how much basis there is for that assumption.

Its not like the courts are investment banks with an evaluation arm. They are just judging if anything reaches the point where shareholders were legally harmed, which still gives a lot of gray area to the acquiring company.
The reason behind wanting to annex us Canadians and not Mexico is because we speak English and they don’t. C’est logique.
It's frankly disgusting how many people in this thread are willing to embrace prejudice as soon as it's prejudice against a group they don't like. Turns out that the lesson people learned from years of social pressure to not pick on minorities wasn't "prejudice is wrong", but rather "ok we can pick on groups but just not these ones".
Is it corruption if it's done publicly and no one gives a fuck? ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯
I wondered about this exact scenario with my Android auto dongle.

I never could get the upgrade to work when connected to my phone. I did get it to work connecting my PC to the dongle (which acts as a wifi access point). My PC then loaded the firmware in a desktop browser window as I was connected to Ethernet and the dongle at the same time. I may have had to set some up routes manually.

They absolutely should not get Internet access through the phone. I really hope it doesn't work that way! I searched quite a bit but could not find a definitive answer.

Edit: I read the other replies and it makes sense. The browser on your phone can make a request over wifi and over cellular, so really the browser would do the fetching over the internet, not the device.
It's the opposite. Regulated banks do not blow up - that's the point of regulation, to prevent those disasters.

Following on the pardon of Trevor Milton discussed here:

Tesla's current P/E ratio is 134. To be a rational Tesla investor, you'd have to think it has almost 600% profit growth potential to reach the long-term American blue-chip average P/E of ~20.

That kind of growth would be difficult for a new entrant, but for an incumbent that's been around a while and already seeing sales decline, it's a pipe dream. Of course, it's not all about cars for Tesla. They're betting big on humanoid robots and "full self-driving", although they've been stuck at Level-2 self-driving for years and the robots, well... Let's just say we don't hear much about them for a reason.

Of course, Tesla has never been a company for rational investors. I used to hold a lot of Tesla stock back in 2017-19 when they had plenty of doubters. I remember seeing how Tesla owners would organize themselves grass-roots-style to show off their cars and convince others to go electric. The company was getting a ton of free marketing and had a very devoted customer base. My, how things have changed. Now, they have to shut down showrooms across the country due to "terrorism".

So where is the upside? Well, protectionism could help them in the US market, but they're a global company with stagnant sales in the US, so it's hard to see tariffs helping more than they'd hurt. And that's pretty much it for upside AFAICT.

Happy to hear from a bull that I'm wrong :)
