Let’s all be honest with ourselves… if the only difference in Signalgate were the people involved, there would be a different outcome altogether. Anyone in the military would have told you if they were in this situation, they would have been court marshalled by now along with months in prison.

Put another way, Republicans are the untouchables. They always have been, and as Trump’s Third Term will show - no matter WHAT they do, “what are you going to do about it”!

Bitch and moan all you want, and downvote me to hell… and then what? And if you’re American, put you perspective in Greenland’s, Canada’s, Mexico’s point of view.

MAGA hasn’t figured it out yet:

Today Canada, tomorrow America.

They’ve figured it out. They won, and now they’re planning on how to carve up the spoils. I’m betting Trump and family gets a huge slice of the pie while MAGA celebrates by proudly goosestepping at his military style birthday parade.

Good luck America… you used to be cool, but now you’re just the high school bully who’s in his 30s still driving around his mum’s car while looking for kids to beat up for their lunch money:

“…compile the cost associated and levy them on the Europeans”
Op said renewables, not solar. Both Norway and Sweeden have significant (renewable) hydro, which pairs well with the cyclical nature of both wind and solar.
First, I was trying to give you suggestions that may help you in your personal situation.

Secondly, I am confused as to what you think should be done. Because it appears that you do not like paying a lot of tax money but expect there to be affordable quality education available?

I mean, if you want more educational options available in your area then presumably that means the government at some level (local, county, state, federal) would have to pay for it which means an increase in taxes (for someone at least).

Third, you did say "Low-income families have a higher probability of raising children in a dysfunctional home who then become a burden on the local school district. " So it seems fair to suggest that you should consider raising the level of your income to meet your desired needs.

Fourth, in all fairness I don't have children so I am not sure why I should have to pay any tax what-so-ever for your child to receive a poor education.
Wikipedia will cite and often broadly source. Wikipedia has an auditable decision trail for content conflicts.

It behaves more like an accountable mediator of authority.

Perhaps LLMs offering those (among other) features would be reasonably matched in a authorativity comparison.

While I sometimes hangout with non-Engineering folks, I see following activities:

- preparing various letters, reports, audits, notices, terms/contracts etc. by modifying or using very specific templates and Office tools are very well entrenched for fixed templates

- Financial reports, analysis on excel(yes, most professionals are trained and feel comfortable there, same as how we feel good in terminal/console), building specific forms with constraints and checks, data sharing, special report of field data collection and audits, technical specifications/spec-sheets, quick complex calculations, think MS Excel as best candidate which everyone and there pet dog learned since elementary school

- Presentation, brochures, special fliers, quick reports, course reference/speech deck, lecture slides, product marketing/sales docs are mostly being handled by PowerPoint

Of course, we have numerous best-alternatives which can all replace these or “why not google docs”, but these people are trained on these specific ms office tools since dawn of civilization when people stopped cave painting and stone tablet based accounting in favor of computers. While we tech folks love to pickup and learn new tools, the other 99.99999% people see diminishing return adapting new tools. And lets be real, who wants to mess with the official template in some new tool that purchasing and procurement will not ever care about and scold the applicant back into the MS Office tools that already comes pre installed and licensed from their IT vendor?
> Unless it works. If it works Self driving cars will save thousands of lives

Sure. We don't know if it works. We know Musk is causing clear and present harm to the constituents of those jurisdictions, and that Tesla isn't the only option for self driving. Forcing them through extra scrutiny is a win-win.

> If you ban it you are literally killing and maiming people

No. You're statistically killing people to the extent those cars would be bought. With Tesla sales crashing in blue states, the comparative cost is less.
Where? And how is that option displayed to the user?

I also just tried it in Spotlight and Finder, and it did nothing. Which I consider a relief, because undiscoverable bullshit is worse than the feature not existing.
I'm also not bullish on this. In the sense that I don't think LLMs are going to get 10x better, but they are useful for what they can do already.

If I see what Copilot suggests most of the time, I would be very uncomfortable using it for vibe coding though. I think it's going to be... entertaining watching this trend take off. I don't really fear I'm going to lose my job soon.

I'm skeptical that you can build a business on a calculator that's wrong 10% of the time when you're using it 24/7. You're gonna need a human who can do the math.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PS/2_port#Conversion_between_P...

PS/2 is a flavor of line serial communication (0 and 5V): ground, power, clock, data.

"PS/2 mice send interrupts at a default rate of 100 Hz when they have data to send to the computer."

Which is how a 'dual mode controller' would drive it's IO pins in a way that work for USB or PS/2.

USB uses https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_signalling , which Wikipedia's article explains have the advantages of greater signal to noise ratio and resistance to some common types of data-channel noise.

I don't happen to know what the _data_ voltage level of a USB link is offhand and skimming the article was insufficiently clear (Either of -5V and +5V, OR float is ~2.5V and one pulls up to Vcc the other down to Gnd make some sense.). The initial power pin level is also supposed to be ~5V.

--

Also, if you mean from a typical PC... A modern AMD system's block diagram shows most USB ports driven from CPU socket pins or from the primary board chipset directly (E.G. AMD's X870E or whatever). I would be almost amazed if those weren't in house / licensed ASIC blocks with ROM firmware.
> the way I know of DocuSign is to use it to legally effectively sign documents such as contracts.

Now imagine that, but with AI. Now you can ask an LLM to expand on the main points in the contract. The person you’re sending it to can ask an LLM to summarize that expansion. You both can arrive at a different conclusions because after all, a break in communication is eventually going to happen between any 2 parties. Might as well super charge it.
> What's worse, people are treating them as authoritative.

So what? People are wrong all the time. What happens when people are wrong? Things go wrong. What happens then? People learn that the way they got their information wasn't robust enough and they'll adapt to be more careful in the future.

This is the way it has always worked. But people are "worried" about LLMs... Because they're new. Don't worry, it's just another tool in the box, people are perfectly capable of being wrong without LLMs.

The Internet happened, and operating systems evolve much faster. You could buy a piece of software and run it on MS-DOS 5.0 for a long time if you didn't need networking and the software did what you wanted it to do. You didn't have to update.

Today everything is connected to the internet and exposed to threats, so the updates are much more frequent, and OS makers take advantage of this to push additional stuff and even more changes. The result is a treadmill.
There is, but if it's the 5th result then either that exact wording is magic or something is wrong with the story.

And it might not have been the first and only thing ChatGPT said. It got there fast but 5th result isn't too slow either.
BYD simply shows that Tesla is overvalued. they have battery expertise - making battteries for everyone else. can produce more cars, more cheapily than tesla and everyone else.

While I agree with the huge adoption improvements, there is also a dose of reality check required.

There are several domains where C++ never managed to displace C, and likewise the same seems bound to happen with Rust towards C and C++, regardless of safety improvements.

Khronos API definitions, the whole GPGPU ecosystem including vendor tooling, all major runtimes and compiler frameworks, consoles devkits, are few domains where Rust has yet to have a presence.
For exploring topics in a shallow fashion is fine with LLMs, doing anything deep is just too unreliable due to hallucination. All models I’ve talked to desperately want to give a positive answer, and thus will often just lie.

I'd love to rent out my current home but I hear horror stories of how hard it is to evict non paying tenants in my town. The big players are diversified and can eat the cost but an owner landlord with one property can be bankrupted by a bad tenant.

This is such a stupid framing, I’m sick of it. The kids taking this class aren’t your average “wow math was boring until I took this class, thanks MIT!” students. They’re basically all people who grinded through high school and probably competed in the IMO to get where they are. Trying to view this through the lens of making math fun is a disservice to the class and these students. I’m sure they do actually enjoy what they do but it’s like showing up at YC demo day and going “these are the people making entrepreneurship fun”. No, they’re actually a bunch of people whose motivation is likely mystifying to you.
Yes. Uv can install specific Python versions from python build standalone (they have taken over maintenance for it https://astral.sh/blog/python-build-standalone ) instead of from python.org because python doesn't release relocatable binaries (and doesn't release binaries for Linux I think). It works well but does have a few minor https://gregoryszorc.com/docs/python-build-standalone/main/q...
> What's worse, people are treating them as authoritative

Because in people's experience, LLMs are often correct.

You are right LLMs are not authoritative, but people trust it exactly because they often do produce correct answers.
It is social engineering.

The art of manipulating the public through social media is a very developed field by now. It is made even easier through the abuse of "volunteer moderators" on social media.

A bit of push here and there, some sowing of ideas, suppression of "disruptive" opinions, promotion i.e. normalization of fringe characters, add in a dash of specific attacks based on the target's internet history, and a small group of folk, with the assistance of technology, can effectively steer public opinion.

It is not easy to defend against this, especially to a populace who consider themselves living in a land "free of propaganda".

It is ironic, that a country who prides itself on its exceptionality, fall into a crisis because it is, in fact, unexceptional.
Yeah, they refer to it as “high side” in this group chat..

Yup:

To qualify, my usage of the term was intended with nothing but respect.

It also sounds cool as hell (IMHO), in similar vein to "gunslinger".
I think its perception of usefulness depends on how often you ask/google questions. If you are constantly wondering about X thing, LLMs are amazing - especially compared to previous alternatives like googling or asking on Reddit.

If you don’t constantly look for information, they might be less useful.
You are (maybe) joking, but I’d guess there’s an extremely high overlap between HN users and Kagi users. I converted someone from a metal discord I’m in to Kagi with a promo gift last year, and he’s also the only HN user on the server ;)

Show HN: Learn to Code Without English (French, Dutch, German and More)
95% of coding resources are in English. But 75% of the world doesn’t speak it fluently. That’s a massive barrier for millions of people who want to learn to code.

So we built FIKR: coding courses taught natively in English, French, Dutch and German (more languages coming soon).

Sure, you can find a random YouTube tutorial in French. But piecing together a structured, high-quality learning path? Very difficult. Most stop at the basics.

We built FIKR to prove you don’t need English to build software.

If you spot any overused clichés (like too many baguettes in our French lessons or a missing Munich stop in our Berlin subway example), let us know. We’ll fix it and shout you out in the lesson updates.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

> I've found the Nix ecosystem to be lacking, missing packages, wrongly built packages

This is an interesting problem you've faced, their marketing claim is that they have the most comprehensive catalog of packages (and I'm inclined to believe it). I very rarely run into broken packages, and that's usually resolved by using a stable release for that specific package - and it's not like my usage of packages is lightweight (7292 lines of nix config). That's on NixOS (and Silverblue, and Ubuntu) at least.

google docs and sheets have 99% of the features that an average home user would want to use for a word processor and a spreadsheet.

The things that docs don't have are things like templated designs, and other typesetting features that a professional document creator would want to use. It also isn't completely compatible with office document formats (some formatting and alignments are wrong). I would imagine similar with spreadsheets.
recently, i have been finding it excruciatingly hard to go through long github repos and make sense of them (thanks to my reels afflicted short attention span :D). so, i built mindpalace - a tool that allows you to to parse through github repos effectively by generating file-wise summarized explanations, and structure, workflow breakdowns while also generating mind maps for you to learn visually. and the rag based llm search, that allows you to ask anything and everything about the repo, serves a cherry on top. i have also extended the functionality to pdf documents. works on any device, no api keys reqd, no downloads reqd. try it out here - mindpalace.streamlit.app. just one click to enter your mindpalace!
You don't want more immigrants, you want more skilled and young immigrants. This is an important calculation that's missing from public discourse, instead most people will say "yes immigrants" or "no immigrants" but the right policy is more nuanced than that. If you want to solve aging population and add to the economy then you can't just have unrestricted immigration.

There is a track on musicforprogramming.net which has a passage of music punctuated by someone chewing loudly with their mouth open.

I can vouch for this. Once you're at a senior or lead level these things are easy to weed out.

I used to ask a simpler (for AI) question. The candidate reads out the first sentence. By this time I'd have already established that the candidate is not genuine. Our interview process let's ride out the interview as a courtesy and to also try to extract something out of the candidate that the company could use.

Anyway once they read out the first sentence from the AI with utmost sincerity, I'd follow-up with deeper questions into the topic at hand. 99% failed to answer the second question well. The ones who let me ask the third and fourth questions are devs who still have their original thinking hats in place but just use AI out of nervousness or who generally don't interview well. Those we'd explore further and suggest for lesser roles/alternate streams etc. This all my experience and others MMV.
Not the world, our patch on it. We more or less succeeded in the physical world depending on who you ask. Don’t see the problem with the digital.
> plausibility [would] converge towards correctness

That is the most horribly dangerous idea, as we demand that the agent guesses not, even - and especially - when the agent is a champion at guessing - we demand that the agent checks.

If G guesses from the multiplication table with remarkable success, we more strongly demand that G computes its output accurately instead.

Oracles that, out of extraordinary average accuracy, people may forget are not computers, are dangerous.
This is not a homogenous group that believes some core cannon and lives the same lives. Most devs don't have "wealth" even. I think you watched too many movies.

It's interesting also that usually nobody says a "why" that makes sense. You clearly don't think our current lives are that valuable if all we're doing is eating pizza in our offices waiting for a gadget to arrive. So what's the point, to make it so in 3 or 4 generations those guys can eat the pizza and feel like we "solved climate" for them so they can relax?
I've had this since I was a kid. My stepdad is a loud chewer, and when I was younger the chewing was a big source of the resentment I harbored against him (not the only source, but a major one).

Now we have a better relationship, to the point where I felt comfortable discussing my discomfort with his chewing. But rather than frame it as "Can you please chew more quietly", I told him I'd prefer to wear earbuds when we eat dinner together. I also told him about misophonia, which I had learned about in the intervening years since childhood. He was a little confused, but didn't feel like I was criticizing him.

Now when we eat together, we eat without conversation since I'm listening to music during the meal. It can be a bit weird when there are others present, but when it's just the two of us it's fine. It's made mealtime together tolerable, whereas in the past each meal was an excruciating ordeal.
