Out of curiosity. How can you explain to a Gen z fresh graduate with 50k in student loans, 5 dollar gasoline (and rising), no healthcare, housing prices at an all time high, and competing with their entire age group for the honor of holding

The narratives around the pressure to blindly accept AI is crazy. They try every angle from "you are a communist", to "you are too stupid". I speculate it has a lot to do with surveillance capitalism. It's the same

I disagree as someone who was using dotnet within the last 2 years. Also we are comparing go to .net not to rust. Go is much easier and faster tooling wise. It doesn't require an IL and doesn't have 2 decades of enterprise cruft w

Metadata would be more powerful in 9 out of 10 cases. Message contents could be invaluable in some cases too. Interesting to think about

It's a great book! It does make you wonder what s future with neural link and data centers in every city looks like under a fascist regime.

Thanks for explaining. I guess we are talking about espionage or something like that. I've been so focused on the rise of domestic surveillance lately that I forgot about the noncitizen aspects. Which is ridiculous but at the same time

I imagine in 2027 people will be getting killed over vibes. Does make you wonder what kind of people they kill or how many. I can't think of a lot of crimes whose metadata warrants being killed for personally.

Why are we even spending time on this. It's vibe coded slop. The creator probably never even ran it before it got to HN

So when I was googling it I was seeing a few other corporate activities seemingly coming from the other major contributors of the language outside of Julia hub? It looks like pumas AI has a few of the same people as Julia hub. Or am I misun

It's a feature for them not a bug. Google is an ad company and an offense contractor they want VPN users leaking packets for both reasons.

Dillo. This is a hot take of hot takes. But, I think it's correct. Let me know how I can help?

Whoever has the most compute controls the narrative. It's AIs biggest contribution to the internet.

Not this administration. That said sam altman, Elon musk, mark Zuckerberg, and Alex karp, etc are this administration. So either way we are boned.

America, all the crumbling industries and oligarchs of Russia, all the domestic surveillance of China, none of the healthcare of other developed countries, and more guns then any other nation.

They know through indirect means. So they buy all the cellphone data specifically the gps location data in the us and funnel it through huge servers. So they can determine patterns, addresses, etc. This makes that easier and doesn't ri

Yep. Google an offense contractor for the department of war is now going to require phone attestation to access the internet. This goes right in line with the actual desires here. Technofacism is going to hit fast. Especially seeing as how

I wouldn't say nefarious, but I don't know how I feel about the power structure. I could see it being very much a one way venture for most participants. I'd have to think about it before actually using the language.

Seems kind of contradictory with the other comment which states that they decide what features are prioritized. I guess not because it could be an informal process. It's interesting. I like the more opaque approach rust takes. Rust has

How hard was it to maintain a large Julia code base rather then say an OOP or Rust one? It has an interesting paradigm. I feel like it could get really messy

I don't get the appeal. It's like a. OSS Matlab but all contributions are used directly so the language developers can make money for a parent company? Most OSS languages aren't run that way. Seems kind of scammy

I always worry about posting comments like this. A lot of tech bros are like "form logical arguments about why this clickbait isn't clickbait otherwise you are a troll". You beat me too it. Thanks for your service. I also lov

I'm sorry but encryption like https has been around since 1995. Every software engineer knows they should use encryption to protect pii. What am I supposed to be doing on behalf of meta? To prove I am not a bot with a smooth brain? Pre

Considering the average person thinks that opening websites in incognito means no one knows they visited them, I would agree.

This is what they do Everytime things are going really bad. "Oh btw aliens!?". It's a psyop so people appeal to higher powers and feel that the government is keeping them safe. Truth is if aliens ever made contact with the us

A lot of people are blissfully unaware how any piece of software is profitable. Tech and business literacy are terribly low.

This is awful. They are doing this so they can literally advertise to kids. I bet their dbs aren't encrypted at rest either. Complete foolishnes

Instagram should be shut down. Not using encryption for social media and places where users expect any level of privacy is insanity.

The .net sdk is like 1gb, go is like 60mb or something. It's annoying when that matters. More so, nothing happens quickly with it's tooling, and the tooling isn't friendly. All of a sudden I can't build my project in vs

Yea that is a strong fingerprint. Especially if any of the other things were correct or someone has a way to model your behaviors. How long you scroll vs how often you type etc. and somehow that's still not enough for big tech and they

I can see reasons why people don't want to use .NET if Go is available. .NET has its merits but it's bloated, compilation is slow, and I find it's tooling to be really annoying. For me go is just above c# and both of those ar
