Not sure Five Eyes will outlast Trump, the UK has reportedly stopped sharing some intelligence with the US: https://www.courthousenews.com/uk-faces-questions-on-complic...

Wow, I want something like that for my company's codebase.

That’s an interesting story to bring up in this context, because I have always wondered how a fundamentally customer-hostile business like Oracle could be so successful. It really puts the lie to libertarian cliches about the invisible hand

Right? What an absolute cunt (I might be a bit biased because my dad was an arborist).

Oh I have, though not for a while.

Wow, feels like Google web search in 1999.

Well at least HN hasn't (yet?) spawned a murderous death cult. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zizians

Man, I'd never heard that story, so I verified it. Turns out it was about two dozen trees and 25 million dollars, just to put up a big tent for an Apple launch event. (Yes, the trees were removed.) What a tool, he just lost my respect.

I wonder if a large enough user community could fork zed and actually make progress on the bugs that matter?

Too bad VCs won't give you money for just building a fast editor.

Why do you think an AI-focused company would hesitate to put AI-generated copy on their website?

My favorite example was from Joel Spolsky's company, where bright engineers got bored with working on bug tracking software so they wrote their own C# compiler.

Wolfram was, in fact, a child (or at least teenage) prodigy.

VC funding is not for "a sustainable long-term business".

This was really moving and sincere. It made me think of my dad's catastrophic stroke while recovering from brain surgery. I wish that, like Wolfram's wife, he had died instantly on the operating table instead of enduring six years

Too bad that take is AI slop.

What was so great about Scott Forstall?

I see a lot of concurrency papers from Oracle Labs but not DB papers FWIW.

I thought the HN guidelines forbid AI-generated comments?

The left has cultural power, the right has political power.

There is MongoDB Labs FWIW (also Oracle Labs but I think that's just rebranded Sun Labs and not sure how much DB research happens there).

Yes, they all should be pariah states.

I agree, but there's been a push at my company for humans to write docs to help the LLMs.

Apparently it wasn't worth slowing down and letting a human write this article.

Emmy Noether was a mathematician not a physicist (despite Noether's theorem), and the main obstacle to her obtaining a professorship was pretty obviously sexism (not to mention antisemitism).
