The real problem is that frontend work with anything else is such a pain in the ass.

You want to write separate versions for MacOS, Linux, and Windows Visual .NET#++ and maintain 3 separate source trees in 3 languages and sync all their features and deal with every bug 3 times?
If you want to get ahead of the curve, look into the Agent-to-Agent protocol Google just introduced. I'm currently using my own custom AI agent assistant to perform life tasks. If I could integrate a better tooling/agents into my own assistant system like your's that'd be awesome.

It's kind of like sure, I could manage my own emails, or I could offset this to someone who does it better. If you do it better and it's affordable, I'm in.

We are on that starship to the future right now and I love it.
So you support impinging on free speech as long as the majority of voters is against something? That's exactly the kind of thing the Constitution is meant to prevent.

Or do you agree that it is not a violation of free speech to fund police when there are citizens who disagree with it? You can't have it both ways.
They were brought from Taiwan due to their expertise and familiarity with TSMC processes. America doesn’t have a glut of people with EUV fab experience — they all already work for Intel.
Use dependency injection and mock behaviors. This technique works in several programming languages, including Rust.

Rust has modules, crates and workspaces. To optimize builds, you'll eventually move shared resources to their own crate(s).
I don't play 3D games; I bought Outer Wilds for the experience, was unable to understand the controls. I tried really hard, but had to quit.

As long as you have whole supply chain locally, you don't need to store too much.

The problem with agriculture is you can't really „ramp up“ it on a whim. That's why you need to keep it going and you can't just kick start your food production when outside suppliers start to blackmail you.
If its any consolation, having diagnosed a malignant papilary or follicular thyroid tumor (surprizingly) is correlated with equal or slightly increased lifespan compared to the population that did not have this tumor—maybe it is because of having more frequent or better access to healthcare, which is harder to control in such epidemiological studies. It is one of the few positive known relationships with cancer.
A skilled assembly worker makes closer to $30 or $40 an hour than $25. And that doesn't account for overtime. A skilled tradesman can make $40+.

Manufacturing is skilled, well-paid labor that requires commitment, attention, and care. That is why there's a shortage of labor--not because of wages.
No, I'm not defending it, but this is a ridiculous false equivalence to compare a botched execution of a legally valid search warrant to lawlessly intimidating a whistleblower. (You're also not stating the facts, he clearly bought the guns illegally since he filled out forms promising he wasn't going to resell them.)
Because VAT is collected at the border on imports, some people (wrongly) consider VATs a tariff. Considering that VAT is rebated on exports, VATs are trade neutral.

Sales tax as implemented in the US is not as tax efficient as VAT due to the impact of sales taxation on intermediate transactions during manufacturing. VAT only taxes the incrementally the value added at each transaction) whereas sales tax applies to the entire value at each stage.
St. Paul drinking water has suffered under 3m mismanagement.
The more popular blue boards were pretty bad too, let's be honest. It wasn't hard at all to find things on those boards that wouldn't be tolerated on any mainstream social media, for good reason.
That rather depends on your ability to evaluate what you get. I have no qualms telling non-technical people "buy USB-C chargers from the Apple Store", knowing perfectly well what quality I will get. However, you can't even guarantee you'll get something genuine from Amazon anymore even if you select that exact same product.
Good to know. My opinion of 4chan was formed 2010-ish, I guess I should, er, update it.
Sure, but it's not like they're paying them super competitive wages. Some people on HN said the Taiwanese TSMC Arizona workers already started applying at Intel.

If you want to kick-start manufacturing, you're gonna have to attract people somehow initially, either through more money, or free education/training, etc
When I visited China, the expats told me that recreational drug supplychains were strictly compartmentalized. There was the supply of illicit drugs for Westerners (imported by the sons of Nigerian businessmen, the cliche went), the supply of illicit drugs for Chinese people (who only dealt with Chinese people), and then there were the vast array of drugs that are completely legal to get over the counter in China without a prescription (at a pharmacy or CTM shop) that would be controlled substances in a US pharmacy.

That the official line from the CCP was that China had no drug problems, no prostitution, a variety of other things†, and that there were no gay people in China; That these were all Western ailments.

Urban China is a panopticon state not only digitally, but culturally. Housing is much tighter than the US, walls thinner. Your underwear is hung out to dry in clear view. "Privacy" in terms of politeness norms mostly consists of pretending you don't see or hear a thing. Neighbors generally know a lot about what each other are doing. 7% of the population are Party members, and in Marxist-Leninist systems this connotes something closer to earning a military officer commission; The Party is not trivial to apply to, the Party is strictly regimented, Party rules are held above and before the civil law, Party members are expected to be informers and have a strict lawful-good orientation from the perspective of the regime. Penalties for commerce in illicit drugs are even more extreme than the US, and due process is not bound by the same presumptions.

There are lots of factors conspiring against the sort of informal US inner city street drug distribution being as big of a deal in China.

Disclaimer: All my information is more than a decade out of date, and was only ever a thin slice of opinions from mostly Westerners in some first tier cities.

† From an academic paper: "2 The Six Evils are prostitution, drugs, selling women and children, pornography, gambling, and feudal superstition. Criminal gangs, or triads, are often counted as a seventh evil. These vices represent impediments to modernization and throwbacks to social problems that were present prior to the Communist takeover. Elevation of a problem to an "evil" symbolizes that the Beijing regime will mount a "campaign" or "struggle" against it."
IIRC correctly, the previous administration did try to do some of the slow, steady imperfect work of planning to gradually bring back key industries.

Of course, the voters wanted something else.
Nearly everything you use on a daily basis came from university research. Heck, most of what we know about the universe comes from university research.

Every piece of technology is because of collaboration between taxpayer funding and universities. It is relatively rare nowadays for a private business to create anything truly new without some form of university support. Or it's built on top of university research.

If you like new knowledge you like these types of programs. They make modern life possible.

Universities provide staff, equipment and expertise while the government(and often private enterprise) provide the funding.
I find that Gemini 2.5 Pro tends to produce working but over-complicated code more often than Claude 3.7.
At an individual level, it’s not more complicated: it’s reimbursed instead of exempted. And if you’re charging it, it’s easier, since you simply always charge instead of maintaining your list of exceptions.
Hate to agree.
A default python install is > 200MB thoguh.
These are all amazing ideas. We actually already see a lot of solo devs using mrge precisely because they want something to catch bugs before code goes live—they simply don't have another pair of eyes.

And I absolutely love your idea of having multiple AI models review PRs simultaneously. Benchmarking LLMs can be notoriously tricky, so a "wisdom of the crowds" approach across a large user base could genuinely help identify which models perform best for specific codebases or even languages. We could even imagine certain models emerging as specialists for particular types of issues.

Really appreciate these suggestions!
Of your list I've been to France, Austria, Denmark, Norway, Belgium, The Netherlands, Luxembourg, France (you seem to have it twice for some reason), Hong Kong, the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Singapore.

They all most definitely did not stop existing.

Also I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about when you say the United Kingdom came really close to not existing.
I've tried something similar in the past. The concept is cool, but so far the solutions I've seen are not so useful in terms of comments quality and ability to catch bugs.

Hope this is the right time, as this would be a huge time-saver for me
Generally yes, but there are things like lalrpop which are pure rust, I personally fall within the pure rust build.rs user purview...
There are negative externalities caused by buying and returning stuff.
> because vibes, basically

This may be more accurate than you realize. Both Democrat and old Republican party rhetoric and policies were pro-globalization/offshoring, with the occasional exception such as CHIPS (and corn subsidies). It's not surprising nobody believed they were changing direction, if for every "we're bringing semiconductors back", they heard ten "your car is German your phone is Chinese your tacos are Mexican, how dare you interfere with glorious Free Trade!"
According to Wikipedia, “in 1929, Argentina was wealthy by world standards, but the prosperity ended after 1929 with the worldwide Great Depression.” It was presumably the collapsing economy which caused the military coup, not the other way around.

Do you have a better example? Or is that it?
By acting against China that means I applaud moving manufacturing to Vietnam

and

last time I brought up Africa someone from there said their country was an exception

Making what are essentially strategic decisions in this "shoot from the hip" fashion is what lands us repeatedly in these situations. By way of illustration, let me try one from the 1980's out on you:

"By acting against Iran that means I applaud men like Saddam Hussein and Osama Bin Laden"

(In fairness to the americans who made that colossal blunder, I'll assume that, to them, it seemed a good idea at the time. They were simply not long term thinkers. So no one ever asked, "Hmm, what comes next though?")

We, as a people, need to start thinking a bit further ahead than the ends of our noses.
> Error Handling

I've yet to see anyone demonstrate the elegance Rust error handling for anything but the simplest of cases. It's all fun and games and question marks... until you hit this:

$ ./app
called `Result::unwrap()` on an `Err` value: no such file or directory

And then you start investigating and it turns out that the error value comes from somewhere deep in an unknown callstack that got discard by the authors using '?' everywhere.

Yes, I know about anyhow and thiserror and eyre and ... ; point is none of this is ever shown in these 'look how elegant error handling is' posts. Come on, let's be a bit more honest with ourselves about Result<T, E> and '?' - it's not a full solution to error handling. After two years I'm sure you've hit this.
> IO can’t be unit tested hence why you mock it.

Say, I have this module that uses a private MongoDB as a cache. Its unit tests spin up a standard MongoDB container and use it (and then tear it down). Are they still unit tests or should I start calling them "integration tests"?
I don't know and I wouldn't even hazard a guess. My entire observation right now as a non American is that America doesn't care about democracy anymore.

The trouble with that is that they're all fronting Russia's efforts to control the US government. This is why prosperity isn't exactly in the cards: that's the promise, but all the actions lead directly the other direction in conclusive ways.

Because that's the background, it explains Trump's prominence. He is trusted by Russia in ways a Musk or Thiel can never be, so if we're talking mysterious falls from balconies, it would be Musk, Thiel et al who are more in danger. They have to work with Trump, because Trump is the one Russia trusts, and that's because Russia made him. His wealth has never been real: he's an op from way back.

The Kremlin absolutely will not trust Elon Musk, nor should they. He's more capable, but he is most certainly scheming against them or even looking to supplant/eject Putin and replace him. Thiel is on less drugs and has the sense to stay out of the spotlight, so he will be trying to offer eternal life to Putin or something like that. Whether there's any truth to that is moot: it's whether Putin believes there is.

None of them are safe replacements for Trump, because they all hold power of their own. Trump stays so long as he lives, because he doesn't hold power of his own, and is therefore safe to use as the puppet.
Possibly 45 more months of this nonsense; kinda insane.
why is ICE wasting millions of dollars arresting the wrong people but DOGE is cutting cancer research? Its time to abolish ICE.

Is the US legit fascist now?
You can't effect efficient change with zero knowledge.

But I don't think that's the point anyway, the point is to trash everything that operates interdependently in government, and enable the administration to become the one gateway to solve anything and then capture that income via corruption and etc.

You want cancer research? You want weather data? You gotta pay the toll... otherwise they don't care. Everything they trash is potential income.
Statistical topic are presented really poorly in the media.

If what the reader cares about is the risk to them, why is the proportion of all cancers caused by CT relevant? If we found a way to prevent 50% of all other cancers would CT become higher risk?
This absolutely was the case for a long time. It was the cultural center of the internet where nearly all memes sprang from or gained traction and context before leaving orbit for the greater internet.

That has not been the case for years though. I'd say it shifted to twitter as things shifted to inseparably political on almost all of 4chan maybe 6-8 years back and then shifted away from twitter a while after elon bought it and a lot of people started to bail. and I honestly don't know where exactly it's shifted to now, but I'd have to guess tiktok and similar new platforms.

But regardless I do think 4chan has lost nearly all of it's cultural influence, but still maintains it's notoriety.
We're using it to rewrite queries too. It's a pretty cool library.
Before this change, 1000 512KB GET requests cost $0.0002 ($2e-4).

After this change, 1000 512KB GET requests cost $0.00003 + $0.0006 / 1024*3 * 512 * 1024 * 1000 = $0.00003 ($3e-5) + $0.00029296875 (2.93e-4, dominates the cost) = $0.00032296875, so roughly $0.0003 ($3e-4).

It's because before this change all data transfer charge was waived as long as requests are smaller than 512KB.

The announcement did mention it explicitly, but it tried to downplay it, by starting the sentence with a price reduction:

> In addition, S3 Express One Zone has reduced the per-GB charges for data uploads and retrievals by 60 percent, and these charges now apply to all bytes transferred rather than just portions of requests greater than 512 KB.

This "and" should be a "BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT".
> First of all, BitTorrent clients do not download in random order or wait 5 minutes. They usually download the rarest block first, but can do whatever they want, whenever they want.

The problem here is that BT works so well because the clients default to "good behavior" (prioritize rare pieces first) and discourages "bad behavior" (leeching/no upload).

This tilts the balance on the whole enough to maintain the health of the network. If you change these, you'd need to introduce other mechanisms to preserve the network incentives.
Our neighbours have Prime vans as well as unmarked white delivery vans dropping stuff off almost daily, mostly small items. I have sometimes wondered where it all goes, until I see their overflowing garbage and recycling bins.
Yeah, it's underrated how the Chinese boom just did not care for environmental impact, and because political organizing is banned the public are limited in how much they can complain about it.

It used to be a thing that people were importing massive quantities of baby formula to China because they didn't trust locally manufactured stuff.
> When Facebook acquired it, Instagram was a photo sharing app that had 13 employees.

And growing quickly, so:

> In his opening remarks, Mr. Matheson mentioned documents, including what he described as a “smoking gun” February 2012 email in which Mr. Zuckerberg discussed the rise of Instagram and the importance of “neutralizing a potential competitor.” In another email, in November 2012 to Ms. Sandberg, the chief operating officer at the time, Mr. Zuckerberg wrote, “Messenger isn’t beating WhatsApp, Instagram was growing so much faster than us that we had to buy them for $1 billion.”

> The F.T.C. showed Mr. Zuckerberg a 2011 email in which he wrote, “We really need to get our act together quickly on this since Instagram is growing so fast.”

* https://archive.is/https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/14/techno...

> It’s a combination of neutralizing a competitor and improving Facebook, Zuckerberg said in a reply. “There are network effects around social products and a finite number of different social mechanics to invent. Once someone wins at a specific mechanic, it’s difficult for others to supplant them without doing something different.”

> Zuckerberg continued: “One way of looking at this is that what we’re really buying is time. Even if some new competitors springs up, buying Instagram, Path, Foursquare, etc now will give us a year or more to integrate their dynamics before anyone can get close to their scale again. Within that time, if we incorporate the social mechanics they were using, those new products won’t get much traction since we’ll already have their mechanics deployed at scale.”

> Forty-five minutes later, Zuckerberg sent a carefully worded clarification to his earlier, looser remarks.

> “I didn’t mean to imply that we’d be buying them to prevent them from competing with us in any way,” he wrote.

The control and status they've had is diminishing, and they are taking it out on the rest of us. Regardless, it will be lost. People are tricky. Onward.
Movie theaters are a tough value proposition. Most of the movies coming out aren’t that entertaining, tickets are expensive, and concessions are completely out of control. Also, I think streaming services are cannibalizing the box office. If the trailer looks meh, why not just wait for it to hit Netflix and friends in a couple months.
I like to say Fabrice creates side projects that others spend their entire careers maintaining.

I knew about QEMU, ffmpeg, his LTE stuff, and QuickJS. I had no idea xterm.js started with him too.
For example: "you can't imagine the cheap Chinese robots coming online"... Then what's stopping an American manufacturer from buying a Chinese robot, taking the tariff hit once, then manufacturing domestically with no tariff?
Not sure if you will see the reply, but please reach out lee at vercel.com and I'm happy to help.
is there a reason you went with telegram and not slack or discord? i was thinking that it could open up a broader channel for communicating with your assistant. i understand you're also just building more of a poc, but curious if you'd thought about that. great work btw :)
The best part I think is "pg_query is special. It doesn’t actually implement parsing SQL. It works by extracting C source code directly from Postgres and wraps it with a nice Rust interface. This allows PgDog to understand all queries that Postgres can."

One of the things that puts metaprogramming on wheels is being able to pull in grammars, schemas and such for external systems. Think how many cool tools we could have if we could do this in a more general way.
I mentor and teach programming to middle and high school kids in after school programs at underresourced schools and I slightly agree with some of the details but disagree with the overall conclusions.

From my experience the main disruption in the life of boys with adhd is primarily social. I have seen, privately when I was trusted, teen boys in tears of grief, regret, deep in despair of self loathing because of yet another in a long line of exploded relationships because of their impulsive words or actions that they feel powerless to stop. I've seen the incredibly strong feelings of rejection & isolation they suffer at feeling excluded or singled out because of behavior that they do not wish to have but do not know how to stop.

Succeeding in school, even learning itself is, to me, far secondary to this concern. Someone who has never read a book or learned algebra can still have a life they find fulfilling and meaningful on their own terms. I don't know that someone who cannot create and maintain relationships with their peers can.

There is some newer research, and shifting opinions among professionals, that adhd (or maybe just some variants of it) can be understood and addressed primarily as emotional regulation disorders. This fits with my observations of teenagers, yes especially boys, and also my own experience having adhd.

The hyperactivity and learning disruptions have been historically central because that is the parent or educator's experience of a child's adhd. But I think there's a lot to be practically gained by focusing on the child's experiences & goals, and how adhd disrupts them. This post isn't quite that.
Did you actually discredit someone or have you not properly considered your units in this response?

Commute through the Grand Central station everyday is certainly not a few hours.

And people don't tend to get a CT scan very frequently so the timeline here is massive.
Bold of you to assume that there will be any more elections.
I loved his writing style. Everything is simple, understandable, and to the point for the people like me who don;t know much about this topic.
100% this. Problems from work are always realistic and they give you a push to solve them well. Side projects work too, but to a lesser extent.

I could never get through an Algorithm class (self-taught), but that didn't prevent me from learning and implementing some non-trivial algos for my side projects.
