ReactOS is not dead though. They just made a release.

And it has the 2000-era UI and the modern app support.

It's just dragging on other things, such as SMP and 64bit. But development focus seems to actually be focused on precisely these two.
Cool, scientists persecuted in the USA can now free to Germany. Kind of like Einstein & Co, but exact opposite direction.
The Greeks and Romans probably invented even more useful stuff of modern civilization, the problem is past glory doesn't pay present day bills, unless you're running a museum.

Common Lisp, which is what I use, is not really a functional oriented language. I'd say the above is okay in CL.
Looks better is subjective, but it has its advantages both for actual autocomplete - as soon as I hit the dot key my IDE can tell me the useful operations for the obejct - and also for "mental autocomplete" - I know exactly where to look to find useful operations on the particular object because they're organized "underneath" it in the conceptual hierarchy. In Lisps (or other languages/codebases that aren't structured in a non-OOP-ish way) this is often a pain point for me, especially when I'm first trying to make my way into some code/library.

As a bit of a digression:

The ML languages, as with most things, get this (mostly) right, in that by convention types are encapsulated in modules that know how to operate on them - although I can't help but think there ought to be more than convention enforcing that, at the language level.

There is the problem that it's unclear - if you can Frobnicate a Foo and a Baz together to make a Bar, is that an operation on Foos, on Bazes, or on Bars? Or maybe you want a separate Frobnicator to do it? (Pure) OOP languages force you to make an arbitrary choice, Lisp and co. just kind of shrug, the ML languages let you take your take your pick, for better or worse.
My private employer requires us to login with our credentials to view communications from our CEO. Seems shady to me.
Wait! I thought President Trump was getting ride of the Department of Education. How is there still an Education Secretary?
They provide some analysis. Which may or may not be helpful. It also acts as CYA - if a venture goes wrong and the CEO can say the consultants supported it then that can take some of the heat off
An interesting counter-example is the Museum of Us in Balboa Park, San Diego. They have on display a Mexican mummy (if memory serves, naturally dessicated by a desert burial) that was smuggled across the border from Mexico to the US. At some point, the museum got in touch with Mexican authorities and agreed to repatriation. However, the museum they've worked with in Mexico doesn't really have use for the exhibit, so it's on indefinite loan to the Museum of Us with full understanding that this is a generous privilege provided by the museum in Mexico and the people of the nation.

... All in all, a quite excellent win-win negotiation to mutually-agreeable conclusion, it seems.
Yes we're familiar with the terminology and framing of gofai.
Fwiw I read (most of) the 3rd edition of Russell and Norvig in my undergrad days.

However, the point we're trying to make here is at a higher level of abstraction.

Basically most demos of agents you see these days don't prioritize reliability. Even a Copilot use case is quite a bit less demanding than a really frustrated user trying to get a refund or locate a missing order.

I'm not sure putting that in the language of pomdps is going to improve things for the reader, rather than just make us look more well read.

But your feedback is noted!
Well it really depends on the kind of work you're doing. My (non-AI) software allows users to run my algorithms on whatever server-side GPU or local device they have. This is a big advantage IMO.
Tailwind feels like the bad old days of style="........". And it looks like some weird dialect of Forth code.
This is a really hard problem. Just consider that there are ~150 Muslims for every Jew worldwide. In the USA it's the reverse - 2:1 in favor of Jews, concentrated in particular geographic areas.

Imagine what it means to get ranking right here - if you let just 1% of the international population into the USA ranking system, you have a majority in favor of Palestine, and of course these ideas will spread in communities without a lot of people who can represent Jewish history. It's clear to me why this happens, but fixing in an algorithmic but fair way is also extremely difficult.

Hi HN,

I've been building an open-source project called NetStruct – a browser-based tool for planning and visualizing network infrastructure. It lets you drag and drop network devices onto a canvas, connect them, manage multiple pages (projects), and store everything locally in JSON.

A recent bug caused all device icons to disappear – that’s now fixed and everything should display correctly again!

Features:

Multi-page support with tab navigation

Drag & drop devices like routers, switches, firewalls

Device categories with image previews

Right-click context menus per device

LeaderLine-based connections with auto-load

Online/offline status highlighting (green/red border)

JSON-based save/load system

Fully customizable and open-source

Would love your feedback, bug reports, or contributions.

Live demo / GitHub: [insert your link here]
Tech stack: PHP, JavaScript, jQuery, LeaderLine.js

Thanks from the Austrian Alps

Sadly, SipSorcery is lagging behind as of now. We only have H.264 and VP8 support for video, data channels only have partial implementation (only reliable ordered), and the performance of data channels is far from what it could be.

But it is a great starting point for anyone working in C#.
The lead batteries have always be 90%+ recycled (well, at least since any time we should care about). So the amount of mining is still proportional to the amount of batteries running around.
Between nazi salutes and buying votes, being a corrupt official seems in character, if not expected.

I wonder if that’s the point of having a borderline villainous public image - people are used to your antics and more likely to ignore an extra crime.
I am not a bot. In fact I welcome ideas to take them down. I am just not owned by Israel and do not disseminate their propaganda, and I frankly reject their influence on our politics. I see them as enemies of the United States, because their morals are very much not aligned with ours as far as I am concerned. Your other comments opposing blocking Israel tells me you are Israeli. I understand you could be victim of their propaganda too (visit the Ghaza strip. I am sure the IDF will provide you protection. Or fly a drone over it to see the famine Israel is responsible for). I would urge you to oppose your gov interfering in American politics. We do not take lightly to foreign interference :)
> and have seen how they gain traffic to that site.

And how has that been?

> but I'm genuinely curious how this would be an improvement over the current situation where SSA publishes to their various web sites.

I didn't claim it would be an improvement. I claimed that it wouldn't actually make much difference. In particular invoking the "age" of the audience and imputing an inability to read anything other than these blogs is a red herring.

> Perhaps you can explain why they should post stuff to X instead of either the CMS tied to the www site or the blog?

So that they can downsize the communication staff from 700 people down to 50.

> After all "Literally anyone can copy that to whatever platform they want" so putting pushing things like that to various social media platforms has already been going on for a while.

Precisely. So why is defending the previous mechanism so important? Is the goal to inform the public or to have a nice CMS with tons of blogs in it? It's a nice feather in your cap but as a tax payer you can understand questioning it's ultimate value, can you not?

> What advantage are you seeing to have them switch from their current CMSs to x?

Less staff. It's hard for me to understand why 700 people were needed to maintain a blog that gets updated once a week.

If you want to be concerned with something you should have really paid more attention to how they're changing phone support and engaging in "anti-fraud" there. I think the lede has been intentionally buried with this outrage bait. These are _press releases_. It's the smallest part of the change and one that's likely to have minimal impact to outcomes.
It was an interesting week.[1]

Probably under several laws. But I know one: Government officials (of which, Musk is now one) cannot block or limit speech they agree with, particularly when petitioning the government, which is explicitly protected under the 1st amendment.

https://firstamendment.mtsu.edu/article/government-use-of-so...

If Musk wants to run an official government communication channel, he will have to follow the laws that apply to communication with the government, of which there are many.
I try to avoid having any bugs, sea or land.
The problem is not the bureaucracy.

Nobody's stopping a local mid-market manufacturer from automating workflows. Or hindering a utility company from offering a better service process.

The problem is corporate leadership.

German companies tend to be run by people who are inflexible, uninspired, and cheap. Maybe it's in the culture. Compare this to Austria, where there's a cultural flair for the dramatic (and therefore an eagerness to stand out, even if it's weird) or Switzerland where enterprises, public or private, are not afraid to place big bets.
Thanks - it still feels hidden under the heading "Free or paid?".. what an unnecessarily confusing heading.

IMO you should add it to the top of the page. You don't need to explain to people why you charge money. Don't be afraid to state your offering - you are running a business.

I get that you want to charge different people different amounts of money, but maybe test whether they are actually turned off my $2/month, or if they still make it far enough through the funnel to get whatever regional discount helps them over the line.

Same here. When I hear people talk about how awful some platform is, knowing that it optimizes for their engagement, it feels like an accidental admission of their secret desires.
no one who voted for this regime is familiar with the idea of shame.
I don't even think it's the cost. The actual formerly labor-intensive work is mostly done by robots now (save for e.g. the garment industry which is still only very partially automated). It's just that anything in the physical world takes time and effort. As software engineers we're used to quick iteration cycles in everything. It might not seem to you that they are "quick", but compared to the physical world they are. I was first exposed to this when I worked for a "mostly hardware" company that also designs chips. They were going to introduce some features into the chips that I needed on the software side, and when asked about the timeline they said "3-4 years". Not a typo. That's how it is in hardware. I have no reason to believe that the timelines are substantially shorter in large scale high tech manufacturing - it's just the nature of the thing. You fuck something up, you can't just patch it, you have to re-do it, and that takes time and $$$.

Be all of that as it may, we still _have_ to revitalize the "real" segment of our industry, no matter the cost.
the question wasn't about the (government) account holder's EULA, the question was whether citizens have to accept Twitter's regular EULA in order to view the posts.

can I scrape government Twitter accounts and mirror them without paying Elon for API access? because I can scrape ssa.gov just fine.
This is because the platforms deincentivize posts that link to the original source by pushing them lower in the algorithm.

Because the best way would be to put the content on the official pages and post the link (+ relevant excerpt) to social media.

But that takes engagement away from the sites and they hate that.
This may be one reason employees have different titles. The other reason I can think of is why owners aren't usually called employees.

Some believe we eliminated the need for this school of thought through the DevOps revolution of the 2010s. Dev and Ops became one, married in the form of one man with one job in one company in one world. That was when history and current became one, and the many problems became zero.
The horrible boilerplate and complexity is why people don't use it. Getting even simple usage examples seems to be a tall order for some use cases and LLMs are hopeless in trying to help with it.

P2P connections are also often blocked by ISPs for whatever reason, making it impossible to use without a fallback TURN server which defeats the entire purpose of the thing if you wanted to do scalable multiplayer without the server infrastructure. You're left sending over the whole stream with double the latency and have to eat all the bandwidth.
The platforms should be paid then.

Its a fools errand to go on a "free" platform and complain about corporate presence. If you are not paying, then those corporate bodies are.
And this is exactly this what has got us here. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy.

You know the Larry Ellison lawnmower one, right? That's what you're doing with the GOP, and really, with voters. Actions have consequences. Both in 2016, and 2024, if the Dems wanted to win, they could've. If they wanted to stop Trump, they could've. They didn't. They had the power and intelligence to do so. Whether people vote or not vote is a consequence of the last 20 years of history. It's a few billion parameter model. Given the parameters, the outcome is set. The Dems for decades provided inputs to these parameters that were always going to lead to this outcome.

For what it's worth, I was being a bit provocative. As it's not the Dems who got us Trump - it's the Dems and the Reps who got us Trump.
> A new ministry for research, technology, and aerospace will be formed, and the education portfolio will be taken over by the current ministry for family, seniors, women, and youth.

So I guess Germany is one of those countries which reorganize their government on a brainstorming board by just throwing up concepts. And then it takes years for all the bureaucracy to move around and get back to work.

> Germany needs a new alignment of defense policy and research policy, but “we do not yet know how to do this,”

I learned in middle school that you were once really good at it. There is also a consensus it got quickly out of control and destroyed Europe.

All of this sound more like an Onion or Babylon Bee piece...
They aren't unlike things being treated the same. They are two separate and conflicting opinions which are concurrently expressed by some people.
You're claiming this, but average German internet speed has but recently surpassed Latvia's, easily beats Paraguay and the Philippines and is closing in on Montenegro and Barbados.

The recent rapid improvements even diminished Romania's lead to less than 250%.

Of course this is only up to the Telekom speedtest server, beyond that nearly all of Germany's 50-100Tbps get funneled through 362Gbps of interconnections onto the open internet.
> People either don't understand how these models work or they purposely misrepresent it (or purposely refuse to understand it).

Not only that, they also assume or pretend that this is obviously violating copyright, when in fact this is a) not clear, and b) pending determination by courts and legislators around the world.

FWIW, I agree with your perspective on training, but I also accept that artists have legitimate moral grounds to complain and try to fight it - so I don't really like to argue about this with them; my pet peeve is on the LLM side of things, where the loudest arguments come from people who are envious and feel entitled, even though they have no personal stake in this.

Oh God no, that movie is a horrid mess. It’s why Waugh’s novels were never adapted by Hollywood studios after that.
How does this implicates broadcast press releases?

I can see posts. You seem to have agreed to this.

Then you say there are additional features which are not available. I'm asking how those additional features are relevant to the problem? They don't seem relevant to the problem.

You also can't send DMs when logged in. Does this impact press releases from the SSA in some way? I get that it's not _fully featured_ but is that actually required for this _particular use case_?

Open incognito mode and go here: https://x.com/socialsecurity?lang=en

What exactly is not working for you?
Technically, OpenCL can also include inline PTX assembly in kernels (unlike any compute shader API I've ever seen), which is relevant for targeting things like tensor cores. You're absolutely right about the language limitation, though.
And I assume after this evacuation, purging, and installment of a new government Israel will magically change its ways? You need to address both sides to find a solution.
Has he specifically included lead in a list of "toxins"? If not, "toxins" is such a vague term that it can include or exclude just about anything.
The original code does the same! All the real work is inside `convert` and `format`, it just adds another layer of complexity on top.

The ideal version has the same behaviour and shows that the extra complexity is unnecessary.
> It was much faster than Firefox, that's why I switched.

This was pretty much entirely because of the JS performance advantage from V8 near the beginning.

This was pretty much entirely because of the JS performance advantage from V8 near the beginning.

> It isolated tabs so if one crashed it didn't crash the whole browser.

This is definitely a win for Chrome and something we eventually saw Firefox adopt, but many many years later.

> Memory usage was lower.

This was a combination of factors, but heavily related to the improved JS performance due to V8. A big piece was also that XUL was a pig.

Thanks for pointing out some specific things, but while they affect specific perceptions, underneath the covers most of this had to do with the combination of improved JS performance in Chrome + a heavy reliance on JS for web.
you claimed you can do something. I ask you how, and you deflect. can you do it or not?
You're seeing things that aren't there, I wouldn't suggest anything of the sort.
Traditional roguelike is the term I see on Reddit and Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/tags/en/Traditional+Roguelike

Traditional roguelikes seem cool in theory, but I like co-op for most of my PvE content, and like most turn-based games, no co-op to be had there.
It's worth having a webmaster for public organizations.

If it's too hard to manage a simple website that serves the needs that X is filling, we need to address it in the web developer community. You shouldn't need a team of React experts to tell people it's a snow day, or post updates to changing SSA policy.

X is a commercial product which can become inaccessible based on login status, no? Do we really expect people to have to log in to view public information.
Black_13 appears to be shadowbanned so I'm reproducing their comment here:

black_13 11 minutes ago [dead] | parent | context | unvouch | favorite | on: Germany creates 'super–high-tech ministry' for res...

The cynicism in these comments is telling, but misses crucial realities about Germany's capabilities and social achievements.
Yes, Germany creates bureaucracies. Yes, Dorothee Bär's digital infrastructure record isn't impressive. And yes, German bureaucracy can be stifling. But this myopic focus on administrative inefficiency overlooks Germany's formidable strengths.

Germany maintains world-class engineering and manufacturing excellence through their Mittelstand network while America has hollowed out its industrial base. German research institutions like Max Planck and Fraunhofer consistently produce breakthrough innovations in renewable energy, advanced materials, and chemical engineering. Their aerospace contributions through Airbus and DLR deliver real technological advances.

More importantly, Germany excels precisely where America falters. Their dual education system creates exceptional technical competence without requiring college degrees. Germans enjoy comprehensive public transportation infrastructure, universal healthcare without administrative bloat, and urban planning that prioritizes livability over speculation.

The results speak for themselves: Germans live significantly longer (81.1 years vs America's 76.4), face virtually no gun violence (2 deaths per million annually vs America's 120), and don't suffer from the manufactured scarcity that plagues American housing, healthcare, and education markets.

Critically, Germany isn't now teetering on becoming a police state. While America expands surveillance powers, militarizes police forces, and faces growing authoritarianism, Germany's post-war constitutional framework continues to prioritize civil liberties, privacy protections, and democratic norms. Their painful historical lessons have created institutional guardrails against authoritarianism that America increasingly lacks.

Let's be honest about who's posting these dismissive takes - primarily privileged tech workers disconnected from the material realities faced by average citizens. While you mock German bureaucracy from comfortable positions, their social systems deliver concrete benefits that many Americans can only dream of.

Germany's approach allows for longer, healthier lives with dramatically less precarity than what Americans experience. Their new ministry may face bureaucratic challenges, but it builds on foundations of technical excellence and social achievement that deserve genuine consideration rather than facile mockery.
