It is a stronger rage than you allude to. The world is smoldering in a rage at American hubris exemplified by Trump and his sycophants. One cannot literally insult and attack the entire world on the declining phase of having been the most dominant visible global power for several generations and then leverage this hatred away as a negotiating tactic. The world outside any nation is a vast non-homogenous place one can hardly generalize about, yet there is a palpable frustration the world over with cantankerous American obstructionism and hubris, as exemplified by Trump. We never once said thank you to the nations we dragged over into Afghanistan, or sorry for imperialisticly and illegally invading Iraq, and now we have a president who not only takes this all for granted, but expects the entire world to kiss his feet like imperial subjects.

Absolutely no human, let alone nations full of them, will thank you for humiliation and attempting to grind them into the dust. This is not a negotiation tactic you can walk back.

The world is most certainly not taking advantage of a naive USA. Most of the world alleges the opposite FWIW
This should be an interesting comment section.

The “loyalty card” is a pretty familiar refrain; especially wrt to startups. Founders work their asses off, and often make huge sacrifices, but also seem to have a difficult time, understanding people that don’t feel the same way (and don’t have as much to gain). They take it personally, when someone “doesn’t love my baby.”

Love you work so much mate. Having a multi-threaded ruby that can be deployed via WAR files has been so useful for me in past jobs. Thank you.
BS546 is very uncommon now, but can still be found in some relatively modern british homes and businesses where the sockets are used to "code" for connected appliances. For example, the 5A socket may be wired up to a switched lighting circuit to connect lamps but prevent connecting higher power appliances. I've also seen the 15A sockets being placed in communal areas of flats to provide cleaning and maintenance staff power while discouraging tenants from using them.
That was sarcastic, because that's wrong. And I cannot conceive how can one think this is a good approach to learning.
>(feel free to swap France for any other country)

Taking an extreme example, if I go to North Korea, I don't expect to criticize Dear Leader and not be disappered and sent to labor camp.

...Did I swap it right?
First off, if you take your extreme example and go to France, you'll be surprised ;-).

In fact, taking your extreme surprise even further, you'll find things in Southern France translated into languages you've never heard of, too, simply because there are a lot of French citizens who speak them.

> While for some reason it does feel more borderline in the case of Spanish in the US, I'm not sure why?

Because:

1. English has only recently (as in, about a month ago) become the official language of the US at a federal level. It's not necessarily super controversial (since it's singularily spoken by roughly 78% of the population) but six weeks isn't exactly tradition.

2. English is either not the official language, or has co-official status, in 18 states, and the NWS is a federal agency, so it does need to provide services to those 18 states, too.

> I don't think anyone would debate that point (feel free to swap France for any other country).

Practically all democratic countries debate that point, actually. State-level services are obligated to cater to their citizens, not the other way around.

Swapping France for my country, yeah, it's been a settled debate for more than 25 years now (and we've been late to the table): state institutions have to provide their services in whatever language the citizen who requests them primarily speak, and under specific circumstances (law enforcement, judicial, health etc.) in whatever language a foreign citizen who is detained or in need of assistance speaks. If they need to, they can hire translators, but they can't say no, because they're the ones providing a service to the people, not the other way around.

> did you ever hear about any other place pulling their hair out that much over this issue?

Yes? Lots of right-wing parties in European countries use the same rhetoric. Xenophobia is just a manifestation of humanity's propensity for tribalism, weaponized for political support. In the US we've had one party fight to make it as hard as possible to immigrate and remain in the country legally, and another party fight back by paralyzing enforcement and deportation. The result is the insane state we're in where we have loads of illegally-present residents going about their lives and contributing to our communities and economy.

Not always true. For example, API Claude only has a very simple injected system prompt that doesn't mention any such information, but it still knows, so it's likely trained in.

This is not the point. The point is that there should not be an expectation. French is the language of France. Moving there and expecting people to communicate you in English is not something we should be celebrating.

This is not true. 2/3rds of San Antonio households speak English at home. Then you add in people who speak another language at home but still speak English.

There's a wealth of research on how children learn to do math, and one of the most crucial things is having experiences manipulating numbers directly. Children don't understand how the symbols we use map to different numbers and the operations themselves take time to learn. If you just have them use a black-box to generate answers, they won't understand how the underlying procedures conceptually work and so they'll be super limited in their mathematical ability later on.
Because of tarrifs, demand for local manufacturing increases and manufacturing wages will be greater than they are currently abroad due to newly constrained supply.

Okay, then we'll have unions then. I don't see what the issue is here. I have heard this reasoning several times, even in person, it seems to misunderstand the action of protectionism in the first place.

You can't have an industrial economy if workers don't have any leverage to demand sufficient wages or if unions have so much power that they bring the balance of labor negotiations to unprofitability.

I don't think manufacturing jobs suck ass. They probably aren't great for your physical health, but it is better for society spiritually in the long term to have the majority of society focused on producing something real rather than just having an endless network of fake jobs as a means of wealth distribution.

The factory worker of today can't afford anything because they are competing with third world wageslaves to outsource manufacturing to our geopolitical rivals.

The tutorial system is just for teaching, not grading. It does keep students honest with themselves about their progress when they’re personally put on the spot once a week in front of one or two of their peers.

Well the extent is much broader from a calculator vs an LLM. Why should I hire you if an agent can do it ? LLM is every job is a calculator and can be replaced. Spotify CEO stated on X that before asking for more headcount they have to justify not being able to do the job with an agent. So all the students who let the LLM do their assignment and learn basically nothing, what’s their value for a company to be hired ? The company will and is just using the agent as well …
Unfortunately those pretty houses come at a cost. Traditional materials and techniques usually come at a price. Lots of wood and joinery work needs to be done, much of it by hand. They are also not well insulated so hard to keep warm in winter. They're so pretty though!.

You can still see a few of these houses and their traditional gardens in some of the wealthy, old-money smelling parts of Kyoto.
I believe your analogy is trying to liken immigrants to thieves, which is precisely why it's not a good analogy.
Yeah parsers can be tricky "culturally" - as you've found there are many devs who haven't written a recursive descent parser and therefore they lack any meaningful context to understand what's happening under the hood.

It's a similar scenario to if you made your own RegEx and none of the devs on your team know's what it is. It just takes too long to teach them that on the job since there's very few quality resources you can point them towards - so you're stuck teaching everything.

On the other hand, if you have a team full of experienced PL developers doing this could significantly improve their productivity.
The promise of the expansion of this kind of tutorial teaching to everyone via AI is great. The problem is keeping students honest with themselves.
Google was changed by two things, neither of which were much fun. But very understandable.

One was the transition to a mature product line. In the early days it was about how do we do cool new things that will delight users: Gmail, Google Maps (Where 2), YouTube. The focus was on user growth and adoption.

Then growth saturated and the focus turned to profitability: Getting more value out of existing users and defending the business. That shift causes you to think very differently, and it's not as fun.

The second was changing market conditions. The web grew up, tech grew up, and the investment needed to make a competitive product skyrocketed. Google needed more wood behind fewer arrows and that meant reining in all the small teams running around doing kooky things. Again not fun, but understandable.

It's a theoretical benefit even with radial wiring, I think, for some smaller devices. A lamp that's designed to draw an amp will have a small, low-current flex which will fail before the main circuit breaker trips (while a 3A fuse would have protected it).

In reality I don't think it matters, and even on a ring main the MCBs often trip before the device fuses blow these days.
I hope they'll apply the critical thinking rule of thumb to check for themselves what modern research has to say on this!

Edit: And how can you critically assess if that research is any good? To do it well you need... domain knowledge.

When trying to use LLMs for creative writing, LLMs, really suck at sequencing and theory-of-mind that is they often create errors where they reference events that yet to occur (according to the prompt), or have characters know things that are true, but have no way at knowing. They are also terrible at writing scenes with mind-games or deception going on.

From my experience, this occurs on all LLMs and with a high enough frequency that editing their outputs is much more tedious than writing the damn thing myself.
In my touristy experience, it's more gambling shops, payday loan shops (surpised UK had these) and real estate agents.
As a long-time (since 2007) TGM player, my opinion on TGM4:

- At launch there were some severe issues that denotes a rushed release and lack of QA. The most glaring of which being the inability to rebind keyboard controls (a patch is underway for this Friday). It's quite paradoxical since it's a game that was originally announced in 2009 (and has been cancelled 2 times; it's a whole saga that would be widely out of scope of this HN comment). In the other hand, it is a game that's technically rooted in 2009 (a DirectX 9 game that originally targeted a Windows-based arcade system like Sega Ringwide; TGM3 itself being released on Taito Type-X which is already a Windows machine masquerading as an arcade machine with arcade controllers bolted on).

- On the other hand, the dev team has been super reactive and the lead producer/director/whatever is the appropriate title is in Japanese regularly communicate with the community. And we know first-hand that one of the main dev is also a legendary player (Jin8; the first player who obtained the Gm grade in TGM3, a feat that only 20 people or so in the world has replicated) that has the game in his heart.

- Gameplay-wise, it is a much more accessible game, due to having to implement one part of the Tetris Guideline gameplay element (the lock delay behavior switched from Step Reset to Move Reset; the details and consequence of which I don't have time right now to explain). Detractor would say that it's another pollution by The Tetris Company, but I think this is a conscious choice and makes the game overall better (all of the ill effect of move reset being counterbalanced by the rest of the rotation system, and of course the insane speed). The overall difficulty is lower and hence more accessible, but some of the endgame challenges are devious (but that's through the incursion of gimmicks instead of simply the game system being what it is). It has not the austere elegance of TGM1, the rigorous beauty of TGM2 or the manic challenge of TGM3, but it has still all the heart of TGM in my opinion.

- However I do find the meta-game lacking because of the removal of many of "grades" (in the older games, the game judge you and give you a grade to either your game or your account; think of it like martial arts belt). There are still acknowledgment of finishing a game (
"you are {this or that mode} Master!"), but this is very, very difficult (and very, very rewarding), but there's a lack of intermediate rewards for experienced but not expert players. Allegedly this is a TTC decision, and I find the game worse for it.

- Overall it's still a solid game (and being in 2025 and this being not an arcade game, we can have patches and the dev seems willing and motivated to add fixes and new features in the future), and in my heart one of the best Tetris out there. Tetris Effect has a way better eye-candy (it is a Mizuguchi game after all), but if you're willing to play with "TGM" rules instead of Tetris Guideline rules, it's mechanically incredibly rewarding.
First off, this looks really cool and I'm excited to see more things like this.

The overall chat in the HN conversation has got me thinking, though.

Around 7 years ago in my career, one of my most common actions for one-off scripts was for me to create a WinForms application with, often, a couple text boxes and a "Run" button of some sort.

The text boxes would be the inputs and the run button would ... run. There was also often like a text output or bunch of loglines or something. I wrote almost exclusively in C# at the time, so it was a way to shove a bunch of C# code into place and test it.

I did this for random and arbitrary things I needed to process or solve, a lot like how I used Python or Ruby in the future.

I bet it's actually pretty common for people to need "a script that does a thing", and I think, maybe, that's where a lot of the AI scripting of the most immediate use is going to be. If it can be a familiar interface for people to build (in the past, the IDE) and a familiar or simple place to interact with the generated script (the WinForms + buttons), these programs to generate scripts and do "stuff" could likely spread pretty wide.

I think Jupyter Notebooks are another example of this, another precursor, of sorts?
I built a Laravel-native alternative to Temporal just using queues and yield
I was working at a fintech company and we needed a way to track long-running processes.

We were using queued jobs that would check if an earlier step had completed, and requeue itself if it hadn't. It worked but it was noisy, hard to track, and just felt wrong.

I started looking for a better solution.

That's when I found Temporal. Their PHP SDK had a great developer experience. You could yield async steps, write workflows like regular code, and it just resumed where it left off. It felt right.

Then I brought it to the DevOps team.

And hit a wall.

It required running a k8s cluster or paying for their cloud service. They looked at me like: "Why would we do all this just to run PHP jobs?"

And I remember thinking... they're probably right.

We already had Laravel queues. We already had a database. Maybe we could build something similar without all the ceremony.

So I did.

I kept the core idea from Temporal's PHP SDK, using yield as a coroutine checkpoint, and threw the rest away. No server. No cluster. No cloud.

A workflow is just a queued job that runs until the next yield. When the yielded job completes, it requeues the workflow, rebuilds the state, and picks up where it left off.

That was the proof of concept. It worked. We shipped a basic version to production.

But I couldn't stop thinking about it.

The whole thing felt like a puzzle. So I kept going, added side effects, sagas, child workflows...

I shared my private repo with an engineer I had befriended at Temporal (from bugging him with too many questions).

He said: "Wow, that's really cool. You should release it."

So I did. Wrote docs. Opened the repo. Tagged a composer release.

And then something clicked:

Temporal isn't targeting PHP devs.

They're chasing enterprise accounts. Big teams. Fortune 500s.

Their PHP SDK is maintained but not a priority. It even requires Roadrunner, an extra runtime on top of the Temporal server. That's more friction Laravel devs don't want.

Meanwhile I'm over here with:

No external services
No custom runtimes
Just queues + DB
And yield

Now Laravel Workflow is quietly the default for long-running orchestration in Laravel.

It's at the top of Google for many relevant phrases.

Temporal PHP SDK has 4-5x more daily installs. But they also have $350 million in funding.

I've made back my domain name fees with GitHub sponsors.

The only "failure" is that I don't have anything to sell. There's no cloud product. No SaaS angle.

> they've automated their humanities, social sciences, and other major requirements using LLMs.

This worries me. If they struggle with these topics but don't see the value in that struggle, that is their prerogative to decide for themselves what is important to them. But I think more technically apt people who have low verbal reasoning skills, little knowledge of history, sociology, psychology, etc, is a net positive for society. So many of the problems with the current tech industry is the tendency to think everything is just a technical problem and being oblivious to the human aspects.
Not internal consistency exactly, but there are criteria checking how well the chapter plan was followed (which is all the way up at the top of the context window).

This is done per chapter, and the score trendline is what you see in the "degradation" column.

I would say this could be a reasonable proxy for internal consistency since it is measuring more or less the same ability, i.e. how well it's keeping track of details as context window increases.
I generally agree with your points, my point was mainly that the concept of "scaling" as meant in machine learning doesn't have an analogy in SAT solving and other classical AI tasks. Nobody's building large data centers to solve SAT problems and data is not "the new oil" in SAT solving, and in the other classical AI disciplines I mention above. In short, those are not data-driven fields.
