It seems inevitable that there are people trying to hack AI-coding services in order to get them to do exactly that.
A lot of people believe you need to be a hard-working genius to get rich, so anyone rich must logically be a hard-working genius. Similarly, they believe anyone poor must be a lazy idiot.

In reality getting rich has more to do with opportunity, connections, and luck - but accepting that means you've got to accept that the American Dream has always been a lie. It's much easier to convince yourself that people like Elon are geniuses.
I see two meanings: 1. He's protesting DOGE's reignition of the SSA codebase overhaul 2. He's making a joke that you don't dare touch a running legacy system because you'll break it

He probably means the second, but the first was my initial thought (I hear COBOL programmers make upwards of $1000/hr). Fixing these old systems has been on my mind.
Tariffs make things less globally economically efficient. Sometimes that is the goal for specific industries. Economic efficiency is not the ultimate goal.

But no other country has blanket tariffs on so many other countries.
When interviewing, one of the ways I try to discover how good a particular tech job is: How far up the management totem pole does the "tech illiteracy" start?

I've worked at companies where everyone, all the way up to the SVP (who reports to the CEO) is still very sharp technically. Meaning, the SVP and everyone below them could legitimately pass the Senior Software Engineer interview, or at the very least speak intelligently about the sw architecture, the reasoning behind the technical and design decisions made, performance trade-offs, security, and so on. If you've never worked for a place like that, it's almost hard to believe what it's like.

I've also worked at a (fortunately only one) company, where as a leaf-node employee, my first level manager was effectively tech illiterate. Those kinds of places need their individual engineers to all 1. have good tech skills, and 2. have those rare communication/translation skills that translate tech concepts/problems into business-speek.

At most companies, the point at which a technically literate employee reports to a tech-illiterate employee is somewhere up the management hierarchy--usually around "Director" level. Wherever that point on the org chart is, that person's direct reports are the ones who need to have those tech-to-non-tech translation skills.
Most countries have some small tariffs on this that or the other thing. Not massive tariffs on a huge range of goods.

A bit of salt on your steak might be good, but if you emptied the entire salt shaker on it, it would be gross.
I felt the same way in an earlier HN thread a few weeks ago and some suggested tools like Cursor.

Cursor has been way way better. And agent mode now makes me feel like there’s something more to this AI coding stuff than just fluff.
As a hiring manager with over two decades experience I tend not to think this way unless I know who the other hiring manager is, have reason to believe that they are strong at hiring, and that the role they are hiring for is similar enough to mine for it to mean something.

That's not to say I don't think about where I might have blind spots for a candidate—as you say, all processes are biased—but I've seen too many bozos in this industry (especially as the money started to become its own draw) to take a random offer as signal for anything. More context is necessary or it's just garbage in garbage out.
Even better, this library, with its use of unsafe and fork underneath, introduces a whole new class of undefined behavior to a program by providing a safe interface over an unsafe API without actually enforcing the invariants necessary for safety.

In order for the fork() it calls to be safe, it needs to guarantee a bunch of properties of the program that it simply cannot. If this gets used in a multithreaded program that calls malloc, you've got UB. There's a long list of caveats with fork mentioned in some other comments here.

In my view, this is not serious code and should be regarded as a joke. There's no actual value in this type of isolation.
This unblocks future product work. You have to lay the groundwork.

We need advancements like this if we want on-device AI to work well. This is the kind of thing Apple Silicon needs especially. It's weak relative to Nvidia consumer chips.
Doesn't really feel like a good faith engagement with the larger point, much less the specific point. I'm inclined to debate, but what's the point? The reality and impacts of what's happening are documented and easily available to those privileged enough to not feel any personal experience from what's happening in and to the world if you're ever more curious than you are right now.
I think that doesn't answer the question parent asked.

Do European car makers build in the US? Yes.
Is that going to change? I don't think so.

Do US cars sell good in Europe? No.
Is that going to change? I don't think so too.
And yet the distinction must be made. Do you know what it’s called when data is treated as code when it’s not supposed to be? It’s called a “security vulnerability.” Untrusted data must never be executed as code in a privileged context. When there’s a way to make that happen, it’s considered a serious flaw that must be fixed.

And then there's this idiot talking about screws in iPhones. Is this even how iPhones are built? Piles of hidden screws?

They think we're stupid or they want us to be stupid. This isn't an economic policy. It's a way to reward fealty and punish disloyalty, to a specific person.
> If you want results, get Postgres. If you want someone to blame, get Oracle.

It's the someone to blame part that's important in big corporate bureaucracy. It's being able to tell your boss "We've done everything we can, it's in Oracle's hands now" limits your own liability vs. "We need to fix this ourselves, and haven't solved the problem yet."
We can see historically that advertising evolved from the charmingly blunt "Foo Bros. makers of hats" to "makers of the FINEST hats" (untrue, but at least we still know what business they're in...) to "wear Foo or no one will talk to you again". Along the way, regulations had to be enacted here and there, snake oil didn't actually raise the dead, so lying about that was banned, but letting us feel that we're inadequate because we can see how happy and cool the people wearing Foo are on TV (or TT) is just their free speech. And of course there are the side effects TFA touches on like building trillion dollar empires for Goog and Meta, and using the same levers to manipulate voting and buying.

Personally, I can imagine a world without ads because I block them everywhere I can, and somehow I still manage to buy things, even if they might not be making me feel as cool as I should if I'd only play along.
Ironically I believe I've seen that U.S. EV manufacturing has already started to slow down & projects being cancelled.

This was an enlightening article (as I wasn't too familiar with the history of TB), but I'm struggling to grasp the overall point. If USAID is all that's standing between us and TB taking over the world, that's a _seriously_ lousy place to be in. Why are we not spending time talking about resolving that issue instead? You could argue that restoring USAID gives us more time to resolve the issue, but then I would ask what has been happening during the time the funding was active?

Maybe I misunderstood the author's assertion.

The replies to my comment seem to me to be addressing the question of what the appropriate reference class is, not the base rate fallacy.

> reading it, I felt like a child: it only says common sense stuff, but I had been doing everything wrong my whole life

Negotiation is a grammar. The rules of the grammar, when laid out on the page, sound incredibly basic. But like any grammar, anyone used to "hearing" the grammar, it becomes immediately apparently who has command of the grammar and who is making grammatical mistakes.

But the point of the grammar is not to learn the grammar, the point of the grammar is to make beautiful sentences. How far you choose to go down the path is up to your own avocation but learning the grammar allows you to understand and communicate the beautiful sentences of negotiation.

Question was great.

Your answer was on the other side completely wrong. and now , you just double down on it instead of admitting that you failed to read and understand question .
Remember when this administration says another country has put a "tariff" on the US what they mean is there is a negative trade balance with that country (as pretty much there must be with the USD being the currency of choice).

They then decide based on trade balance to enact an actual, unilateral tariff.
that’s what I’m doing already, the issue is that unsafe code exists at all.

In order to call the win32 API one must create structs and pass pointers to them into the function call.

sending data is actually quite easy. But reading back data is quite difficult, in some cases you may have a list of something.

Regardless, Rust is not helping me anymore in those bits, and since all of the tools that find memory issues target primarily C++, and rust mangles certain things for C+ + toolchains - I find myself a little bit stuck, I’m not a genius and I’ll take all the help I can get.

Which seems like an antidote to the current culture of "don't build anything anywhere."
Here's a simple explanation for what is going on in the US. I'd love to know if people think this is sufficient.

There are two types of taxes:

- Domestic taxes are levied by congress

- International tariffs are controlled by one person (the president)

So if the president wants to control people via taxes, they use tariffs. By this theory it has nothing at all to do with financial policies or political parties: it's just another tool we've given the president and we shouldn't be surprised if it gets used. By the same theory, if the president had full control over domestic taxes we'd see exactly the same thing.
> If tariffs are so bad, why do most countries have them?

Do they?

I guess Trump wants to convert the US into a Central African country - a transoceanic banana Republic.
> But let’s be honest: that’s not happening. Tariffs raise prices, but they don’t magically bring manufacturing back home. From my conservative perspective, companies should have the flexibility to offshore production—especially if they face pressure from unions or rising domestic costs.

I mean... in theory they would if the numbers work out i.e. if tariffs offset the additional labor/regulatory costs. The problem is they are hard to trust to stick around long enough for the capex to pay off.
The irony is almost palpable, invoking this quote against a system that is driving 600 million miles a quarter without the 8 deaths a human would cause over the same distance.

You must be using a different definition of “owe” than the rest of the world. By any layperson’s and lawyer’s definition, any money you deposit in a bank is definitely owed back to you. And it’s definitely placed in the liabilities column of their accounting books.

Any interest is certainly owed as well since it’s a consideration of a deposit agreement, but both are owed, not just the latter.
I have noticed certain groups where trans people are relatively over represented and group involvement more correlated with biological gender, but that’s not actually that interesting or meaningful in reality. Trans women having similar interests to men doesn’t make them men any more than me owning a gun makes me a Republican.

True, although I believe Maxwell is the oldest supported architecture for the current CUDA 12.x. Maxwell (eg GTX 980) came out around 2013, if memory serves. 10+ years of support is not bad at all considering ROCm supports only like 3 consumer AMD GPUs.

So your lousy laptop GTX 750Ti ehhh probably can’t practically be used for CUDA. But your lousy 1050Ti Max-Q? Sure.
Show HN: I have built my first AI notetaker. Any feedback?
Hey there,

While searching for my next role as a PM in Blockchain + AI, I started building an AI-powered notetaker called MindNote: https://www.mindnote.online. The idea is simple: you input your thoughts, and AI helps you complete or modify them.

If you decide to test it, try using the prompt:
Keep this text and…"(add budget, complete list, organize alphabetically, add their translation, etc.).

The first big release is all about modifying your notes with AI prompts. The next big step? Capturing thoughts directly from the mind using brain-to-text technology.

There is a 3 days free trial: https://www.mindnote.online

No, but I think we saw the start of a correction for that in 2022 and 2023. One which the emergence of AI sort of interrupted in a way that feels muddy.

A lot of startups still are trying to avoid raising down-rounds because of valuation used to raise money in 2021 that were unrealistic. For startups that seems like it is still one of the major issues that will come to a head. Particularly as it becomes clear AI is not yet mature enfough to empower the kind of growth without headcount people are projecting for.

The 11X story last month seemed like a leading indicator we were starting to see AI’s real vs touted ability come to a head, but not sure where that goes in light of tariffs.

Not to argue the point, but in the article, he can't get the snare sound right so he needed to revert to a sample. I think you're underestimating the difficulty of recreating sounds. It would be impossible for instance, to recreate the amen break with a sequencer because nothing would be on a quantized beat and every single drum hit is different.
By traditional measures like profit-to-equity ratio, Tesla is overpriced coated to the likes of Toyota, Ford and BMW.

And not just a little bit - it’s way overpriced.

There are a bunch of possible explanations for this. One is that investors believe full self driving will come out really soon and work really well.

They may not be paid by the hour, but they're being graded by the hour.

It may be beneficial to the company to save overall "company time" at expense of wasting time for many individual employees, but I don't think this analysis accounts for the costs of people leaving or being fired. Both of those are very costly, but they're step changes and hard to attribute to any specific cause.
Tariffs make sense to protect industry critical to the independence of a country. Imagine how different the Ukraine war would look if the EU wasn’t dependent on Russian (or US) energy.

Yes, profits and growth may not be optimal. But it’s like complaining your 401k isn’t doing as well as it could since you’re paying for healthy food and a gym membership.

That being said the manner trump is implementing these tariffs is ridiculous. They should be slow, meticulous, and announced far ahead of time. These seem optimized for chaos and are likely aimed at political goals (see TikTok and China already) or simply crashing the market (wouldn’t be the first time Bessent has profited off a financial crash).
It defaults to 512MiB if not configured explicitly to 0 which it’s not in the repository.
Dice are considered "biased" if not all sides have equal probability, even if that's literally true.

When you look up the definition of bias you see "prejudice in favor of or against one thing, person, or group compared with another, usually in a way considered to be unfair."

So the way we use the word has an implication of fairness to most people, and unfortunately reality isn't fair. Truth isn't fair. And that's what I'm trying to point out here in reference to LLM output.
Yep. I wanted to start from the high-level point of "safe doesn't mean doesn't crash," but you're right that the technique itself is unsound.

"Smaller older roads" XD

We don't live every family in a house miles away from work, schools and friends. Many of us live in cities, within flats, with lines of metro or bus close by. Our children go walking to schools. Roads are fine and maintained so regular vehicles can be used instead of 4x4, bikes are respected. Roads have sidewalks to walk.

I’m mainly interested in the performance implications. The less shit between me and the hardware, theoretically the better the performance. In a world where these companies want to build nuclear power plants just to power NVIDIA GPU data centers, I feel like we need to be optimizing the code where possible.
You introduced an n^2 config algorithm but now you're worried about the much smaller performance impact from going to the end of the file instead of sometimes stopping halfway?

And for the record I'm not convinced your way is simpler. The code gets sprinkled with config loading calls instead of just checking a variable, and the vast majority of the parser is the same between versions.
If I am on a bicycle generally I pull out into the crosswalk. Way more visible and pedestrians don’t cuss at you like they would a blocking car because they get it.
>My roommate comes in and talks, and while they're doing that I automatically start cleaning my room.

The moment a guest enters my apartment, my body immediately begins cleaning my kitchen and putting away dishes and cleaning up messes or tidying my living room.

I never thought of this in the body doubling context, but as a self-soothing thing for social pressure. Or maybe genuine guilt for the state of my apartment. It gives me something to do instead of just standing around maintaining eye contact (and the second effect of making the place nicer to exist in, for me and my guest).

Kind of reminds me of another social self-soothing thing, where if I'm not entirely comfortable with a guest (a newer friends or romantic partner) I subconsciously place something in between us, like standing on opposite sides of the kitchen island.

>Having someone in the room helps me relax that self-demand. I don't "should" I just "do".

I feel this in my bones. I've been living alone for a few years and I'm actually going to move in with a roommate soon to see if it can keep me "online" more often without draining me. I totally think it's a good idea to try hang or work in the living room with your laptop.
Tariffs will make them less competitive, mainly because the inputs are also being tariffed whereas international competitors can buy tariff-free inputs. These blanket tariffs will destroy any potential for internationally competitive manufacturing.
