I've run over two dozen marathons including Boston five times, several 50Ks and 100Ks, two 100 milers and both 12 and 24 hour events. I never felt pain in my chest.

These long events leave me feeling weary and fatigued, and sore in places no doubt, but never what I'd call in pain, and definitely not in my chest. If I ever felt pain in my chest I'd definitely get that checked out.

The court doesn’t seem to have reached any conclusion about the constitutionality of using the Alien Enemies Act in this way. They just said the process for challenging the AEA must be done through a habeas petition in district where they are held, not in a class action suit in court in D.C.

The dissent is pointing out that the administration is deliberately moving these people to districts where they are likely to get favorable rulings quickly, and they have demonstrated willingness to perform these actions in spite of contrary rulings from other courts, rather than respecting the ruling and arguing about jurisdiction.

Man I have exactly the opposite reaction: the last third at least has some nifty high-concept worldbuilding even though it doesn't have nearly enough room to get really explored. The first two-thirds are an absolutely cringe-worthy example of "if only the idiot normies would shut up and let the engineers run everything" nerd supremacy at its very worst, including a painfully obvious Elon Musk stand-in character saving humanity, which was a bad idea in 2015 and has aged even more horribly since.

Thanks… I see that’s the NT Design Workbook that shipped as part of the WRK.

Interestingly it does mention 32-bit OS/2 API support (Dos32* APIs). I’m not sure if this was just a plan never implemented or if they did implement it but pulled it out before shipping NT 3.1.

I now realise Microsoft did ship a beta SDK for OS/2 2.0 - but the last Microsoft pre-release of OS/2 2.0 is missing a lot of stuff compared to the final IBM OS/2 release - most notably the Workplace Shell (WPS). IBM originally planned to ship WPS as part of OfficeVision for OS/2 and only moved it into the core OS/2 product rather late in the 2.0 development cycle.

Personally I'm working towards accurate non-invasive screening of HCM based on ECG for professional athletes in initial collaboration with Oxford University and local national sport institute.

The feature works the same on iPhone. Looking through my duplicates just now, the detected duplicates that had a dozen or so photos to merge, are either high speed sports photography bursts or astrophotography—the rest were just mostly two photo duplicates. I suspect the threshold for determining a the photo as duplicate is too high for successive* photos to be considered such, as with your campfire example.

With that said, I’m surprised Apple hasn’t implemented a feature to group/bundle successive photos beneath what is determined to be “best.”

[*] Note: successive photos being separate shutter taps/actuations (potentially several seconds apart), where bursts are continuous (generally as fast as hardware allows, ms apart).

I ran 16 marathons in 2016 as well as a 24-hour event where I completed 105 miles, then ran the Chicago marathon less than two weeks later.

I never felt healthier in my life than that year.

This is not medical advice, but the body is amazingly adaptable and can withstand some pretty high levels of stress if you build up to them slowly and are willing to back off when it tells you to.

Clean is hard to find, processing lanthanide concentrates creates radioactive waste.

As the world transitions towards cleaner and more sustainable energy sources, the demand for rare earth minerals has surged. From wind turbines and solar photovoltaic (PV) cells to electric vehicles (EV) and battery storage, rare earth minerals are essential components in powering the technologies that will drive the renewable energy transition.

~ https://hamiltonlocke.com.au/unlocking-clean-energy-the-cruc...

The elements critical to the energy transition include the 17 rare earth elements, the 15 lanthanides plus scandium and yttrium. While many rare earth metals are actually common, they are called “rare” because they are seldom found in sufficient amounts to be extracted easily or economically.

Lynas to produce rare earths concentrates in Kalgoorlie from August

The company is building the facility in response to continuing environmental concerns in Malaysia about radioactive wastes produced by its local rare earth metals production plant.

It may not have worked but it would have been the right way to do it. Then after it didn't work they could do more meaningful things that are higher visibility.

There's a right order in which to do things which lends credence to what you're doing. Right now they're just viewed as a bunch of idiotic disruptors because they didn't do things in the right order.

> I think there are more valuable things you can give people than money.

I do agree with you about that. In the context of labor law (where this discussion started), the most important - a 40-hour work-week, overtime, minimum wage, worker-safety protections, the right to unionize, federal holidays - don't directly redistribute money, but they make life better for everyone. Public education, state-funded universities and health-care systems: same. Public roads and bridges. Research institutions. I will vote to raise my own taxes to support all of those things. More directly, I am a YIMBY (google it, if you're not familiar with the term), even if it hurts my home's value.

Like you say, you and I have very different moral frameworks. Yours is certainly ascendant in the US right now. I don't think it's going to go well, but let's check back in a few years and see if either of us have changed our minds?

There is a lot of cynicism (I am a cynic) but LLMs are in my opinion already past everything else you mentioned, they're being used by "ordinary" people in their daily lives. Non-tech people are using LLMs (in many cases where they shouldn't, and some where maybe they should) and the rate at which they've become more useful has far surpassed what my very cynical circles of industry friends expected. I still think things are overblown, but "AI" in one form or another is here to stay, for better or for worse (almost certainly worse).

The white house numbers assume 75% of the tariffs will be paid by foreigners.

That’s actually not a crazy assumption for targeted tariffs. Imagine we only added a tariff to German cars. BMW and VW would have to compete with normally priced sedans, and lower their margins.

Of course, that doesn’t work if you tariff 100% of the suppliers of essential goods.

> Take Street.AI, a prototype smartphone app that I developed, which lets citizens report issues including potholes, street violence or illegal litter dumping by simply taking a picture through the app. The AI model classifies the problem automatically and alerts the relevant local authority, passing on the location and details of the issue

So the audience for this app is people who saw something on their street but can’t determine if it was a pothole or a street fight?

I didn't know you wore pants when you were sitting in your mom's basement trolling. There is a way to do things so you're looked at as honorable and respectful and then there's a way to do things where you're looked at like a disruptive thug.

One gets you respect from even those who may disagree with your point of view, because they can still respect you as a person. The other way you're just looked upon as a disruptor who doesn't have any place in a civilized decent society. Whatever your point is was lost in how you tried to convey it.

Just like your point about pants is lost in whatever you're trying to convey.

Nothing can stop users from being tricked, but normalizing the expectation of signing is our best defense. For instance, we trained users to start to expect the green lock, and started normalizing passkeys and fido2 which prove you are on the correct domain, taking phishing off the table.

Non-web software distribution, particularly for developers, has failed to mature significantly here. Most developers today use brew, nix, alpine, dockerhub, etc. None are signed in a way that allows end users to automatically prove they got artifacts that were faithfully and deterministically built from the expected source code. Could be malware, could be anything. The typical blind trust contract from developers to CDNs that host final compiled artifacts baffles me. Of course you will get malware this way.

Stagex by contrast uses OCI standard signing, meaning you can optionally set a containers/policy.json file in docker or whatever container runtime you use that will cause it to refuse to run any stagex images without reproduction signatures by two or more maintainers.

If you choose to, you can automatically rule out any single developer or system in the stagex chain from injecting malware into your projects.

reading that really makes me wish there were a compiled-to-static-binary language with a reasonably easy migration path from javascript (sort of like ruby->crystal, where the latter tries hard to look like ruby so that at least some fraction of your code translates mechanically). there really is no reason that a tool like tailwind should be this hard to ship in a robust and compact binary.

But AI is like video games, it can’t emulate sacrifice and other deep human dynamics because there’s no stake. If you die you restore from last save point. For AI you have infinite no-memory interactions, which changes the dynamic. In other words, your actions don’t have lasting consequences.

The few games that succeed in building something deeper (for me RDR2 but you take your pick) have to carve out sacrifice and character out of the player’s time, which is finite.

Which is kind of the point

Most OCAs are 2-3 stars and are marginally aware of what they are signing

Rescinding or otherwise ignoring OCAs and caveats as an appointee, NSC officers or especially cabinet level person (don’t get me started on elected officials who have zero respect for classified information ntk) is basically an embedded privilege of rank

I'm aware an immigration judge in 2019 withheld his removal and there was an unreliable witnesses claiming they heard him say he had connections, but that was in NY, not Maryland where Abrego Garcia lives. I'm also aware the Trump administration admitted they made a mistake in deporting him.

Why they won't just bring him back is disturbing. He has a wife and 3 children who are all US citizens. Nobody should be defending this.

Nothing about that article surprises me regarding G/O but there is one point that Zach makes about his transaction that he is wrong about:

"Thanks to G/O's stubborn insistence that it only wanted Quartz's assets and not the corporate entity"...

this is not stubborn it's quite common and is absolutely the right thing to do for many companies interested in another business. If they buy your entity (stock transaction) it comes with all the legal liability.

Zach probably doesn't understand how much more likely his deal was to close as an asset purchase rather than a stock purchase. A stock purchase comes with lots more diligence and legalese. If they are buying your stock they are buying all your baggage and potential legal matters, it requires a lot more work including a laundry list of representations by the seller. G/O did everyone a favor by sticking to an asset purchase and getting the deal done. that's where the positives end it seems.

These are kids. The sigh in this article is because kids would rather feel safe than be the bullied or made to feel lesser-than for an adult's ideological worship of free speech? Perhaps we can acknowledge that while free speech in the context of government censorship is necessary, it is certainly not the end-all-be-all for children socializing.

If people start turning against Trump, Congress will follow. Look what happened after the 2022 terms. Dems over performed and everyone immediately tried to make Ron Desantis a thing.

Sharks will always be in the water around Trump waiting for him to slip. The question is, will Independents(maybe even some of the base) shift hard away when they start feeling the pain of the tariffs.
Ask HN: Which apps do you use to play with MCP servers?
by novoreorx | 2025-04-08 02:57:00+00:00
As MCP servers have been gaining popularity recently, I believe many of you have been trying them out. I'm curious to know which apps you use to work with MCP. The standard approach is to use the Claude desktop app, but what if you want to use models from other providers? There are many popular open-source chat apps that support BYOK, but only some of them support MCP. More importantly, MCP support involves more than just connecting to MCP servers, it requires the implementation of an agent, which means different apps can yield varying results and performance. Please share your experiences with using MCP in chatbot apps, and how well they have worked for you.

"MUSIC CONSUMERS LIKE TO CONSUME MUSIC . . . NOT PIECES OF VINYL WRAPPED IN PIECES OF CARDBOARD. "

Intentionally turning this into a No True Scotsman argument: True music consumers like to consume music... not pieces of vinyl wrapped in cardboard.

The implication of the Government’s position is that not only noncitizens but also United States citizens could be taken off the streets, forced onto planes, and confined to foreign prisons with no opportunity for redress if judicial review is denied unlawfully before removal. History is no stranger to such lawless regimes, but this Nation’s system of laws is designed to prevent, not enable, their rise.

The Government’s conduct in this litigation poses an extraordinary threat to the rule of law. That a majority of this Court now rewards the Government for its behavior with discretionary equitable relief is indefensible. We, as a Nation and a court of law, should be better than this. I respectfully dissent.

No you didn’t. I hadn’t assumed that you did.

But remote work, as a standard part of the landscape, these days, means that Things Have Changed. In the 1990s, arrangements like the one I made, were extremely rare (in fact, I got chewed out for it, many years into the relationship, when Legal started flexing their muscles).

Leetcode testing has also become part of the landscape, and has become so ubiquitous, that it’s almost worthless, as a useful coefficient. Gaming employment testing is a pretty good-sized industry.

For me, the real problem at the time is that "rebase" was a second class feature.

I think too many folks at the time thought that full immutability was what folks wanted and got hung up on that. Turns out that almost everyone wanted to hide their mistakes, badly structured commits, and typos out of the box.

It didn't help that mercurial was slower as well.

Without opining on whether he should be brought back: it seems kind of a slippery slope (legally speaking) to suggest that someone should be brought back because of their family, no? I'm not sure I'd want courts to decide that people should also be subject to deportation or other punishments because of their families.

No, that still requires some battery on iOS, i.e. it's only possible in the same "power reserve" mode that still sends the occasional "Find my iPhone" Bluetooth beacon.

Field-powered mode is possible in at least some NFC chipsets, but I suspect that Apple either values a consistent NFC range more than usability even with a completely dead battery (the amplifier that grants a significantly higher NFC range to Apple Pay obviously needs power), they see it as a security feature (reserve mode is capped to a few hours, I believe), or their NFC controller simply doesn't support it.

I worked on a warranty insurance system rewrite.

There was basically a risk matrix that when simplified meant insurance was cheapest for Asian cars, then European, then US due to reliability and quality differences. The model was based on past insurance payment data.

It was over a decade ago, maybe things have changed but I always remember questioning if it was that simple, turned out it was.

"What are tech companies?"

The author never answers this question. He suggests that small groups of people run them but he does not elucidate what are tech compaines.

If a so-called "tech" company is not profitable, and this may comprise the vast majority of them, then the "engineer salary" comes from VC money. Essentially, a loan. The author omits this simple truth as well.

Totally with you on that—your use case is exactly what I had in mind when I built uncurl.dev.

I kept finding myself sending curl requests in Slack or email, and it felt clunky—especially when non-devs or support teams needed to test something quickly. uncurl.dev started as a way to make that share-and-execute process more visual and frictionless.

For the auth part—embedding API keys in payload is a no-go in most cases. For now, sending out auth headers separately for them to fill in themselves is what I did within my workplace.

I'm exploring a couple of ideas to help with this:

Team-scoped secrets: For logged-in users or teams, saving common auth headers that aren’t part of the shared link.

One-time, encrypted secrets: The link works once and destroys the sensitive payload after execution.
