I have (self-diagnosed) aphantasia and SDAM. I do not relate to your belief that SDAM is related to the emotions felt. I don't believe I have ADHD nor autism. We don't currently have a scientific understanding of the mechanisms that cause these differences in experience, so everyone forms their own ideas of what's going on based on their own grab-bag of internal experiences and qualia.

Government Publishing Office and Library of Congress provides XML formatted bills and all their amendments and a feed of all changes to every bill.

Oh and on the topic of party politics, Bill Clinton was the one who had them put things online in the first place with the GPO Electronic Information Access Enhancement Act, and Barack Obama and the Democrats expanded it via American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 - not the do-nothing Republicans.

It has always been like that. “My family has always been christian” except before that critical generation where the village shrine to the pagan gods were burned, the women raped, the men and children put to the sword by christians with a directive from a christian king to put all pagans to the sword, and your surviving pagan ancestor fleeing to the woods and eventually hiding all indications of their former faith out of survival.

People talk about the irony of Black people adopting the faith of their oppressors when really that is the case for most monotheists today when you start to consider the historical contexts of why their lineage adopted the monotheistic faith at the time.

This isn't useful or correct, and ends up being a bit circular getting into the weeds.

The focus should be that the normal math formula for bond valuation doesn't account for yearly real or projected inflation.

Almost everyone I have met doesn't know how to modify the standard formula correctly unless they've already done it at some point in the past. Its not a trivial exercise.

You have to understand the formulas well enough to modify them to account for the loss in purchasing power that compounds yearly, as a difference between the interest rate and real inflation over the bond terms.

Most years, inflation has been well above that 2% margin dramatically impacting the rate of return or real yield.

For people who want less complicated setup. I occasionally download films to my MacBook, enable File Sharing (System Settings > General > Sharing) and then connect to it with Infuse Player (https://firecore.com/infuse) on Apple TV. I pirate only when it is too hard to get the film from a streaming service. If you're into good films, I suggest checking Mubi service (https://mubi.com), much better collection than Netflix.
Show HN: EndBOX – A toy-like retro computer for EndBASIC
by jmmv | 2025-06-06 17:49:33+00:00
Hello HN!

EndBASIC has been featured a few times here before (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31651881, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37495166), but today I want to show you something different that I've been working on for the past 6 months: the EndBOX.

The idea is to create a toy-like device that:

* boots fast into EndBASIC,

* feels playful and hackable,

* and is focused purely in experiencing (graphical / game) programming in simple terms.

Just you and a BASIC command line---with some DOS touches.

You'll find pictures and full details in the announcement blog post (https://www.endbasic.dev/2025/06/unveiling-the-endbox.html). And if you're at BSDCan next week, come to my talk that dives into the OS---or find me for a live demo!

Right now, I'm trying to figure out if there's enough interest to turn this into a real product: kits, prebuilt devices, maybe even a small production run. It feels kinda crazy to pursue that, but also very exciting to make it real for others.

So, here is where you come in:

* What would you want from a device like this?

* Is this something you'd ever use or gift?

* What would make it even better or interesting?

Thanks for checking it out!

I honestly don’t know what you are spewing off about. At one point you quote me saying “compromise” then proceed to argue as if I said “compensation”. I’m not going to respond to a mischaracterization.

To your challenge:

> In the United States, companies that offer web hosting services are shielded from liability for most content that customers or malicious users place on the websites they host. Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, 47 U.S.C. § 230 (―Section 230‖). protects hosting providers from liability for content placed on these websites by their customers or other parties. The statute states that ―[n]o provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider.‖ Most courts find that a web hosting provider qualifies as a ―provider‖ of an ―interactive computer service.‖

>Although this protection is usually applied to defamatory remarks, most federal circuits have interpreted Section 230 broadly, providing ―federal immunity to any cause of action that would make service providers liable for information originating with a third-party user of the service.‖

https://www.nist.gov/system/files/documents/itl/StopBadware_...

There is clear legal handling in the US beyond common carrier provisions for hosting providers on the internet.

The nuance here is an argument over what constitutes a hosting provider and how far we extent legal immunity.

My “worldview” is that if you want to claim your business is a hosting provider so that you are granted the legal protection from content liability, that you have a responsibility—which I’d argue we should codify more formally—to remain a neutral hosting provider in spirit, because it is in line with the type of liberty (freedom of expression) we aim to protect in the US. You are saying “legally I’m a neutral hosting provider”, and we already tolerate removal of spam and legally obscene/objectionable content so your point there is moot, so if you are making that claim legally then it’s two faced to turn around and say “IMA private entity I can do whatever I want to curate the content on my platform because I’m responsible for the brand and image and experience I want to cultivate in my house”.

I’m okay with hosting providers not being liable for user content, and I’m okay with yarn forums deleting any post that doesn't reference yarn. It’s the mix of both that I feel is partly responsible for the poor state we’re in now where users get demonetized on YT for questioning the efficacy of new vaccine technology.

Hopefully it’s clear what the nuance is here. And if you don’t think there’s a whole conversation that has been happening here read up on Cloudflare’s philosophy and what Prince has written about the topic. Because they were faced with the same dilemma with The Daily Stormer (but not quite as flagrant as Google/YT trying to play both sides for profit).

‘ In their study, the researchers describe their device as a “microenvironment-engineered, multilayered electrode design for sustainable seawater electrolysis.” When in operation, the apparatus delivers “a geometric current density of 1 A cm⁻² in real seawater at an overpotential of 420 mV, with no hypochlorite formation and outstanding operational stability for 300 hours at room temperature.” ‘

I think this could potentially be the solution for combustion powered generators or power plants fueling data centers. If they had a way to farm hydrogen using this technology and utilized hydrogen fuel cells it would be a game changer in many ways.

> For context, alexithymia is a significant difficulty in recognizing, sourcing, and describing one's own emotions. Interoception is the sense of your internal bodily state.

Oh yup. The way I've always described myself is I have extremely "muted" emotions, bordering on none the overwhelming vast majority of the time. I only very rarely feel extreme emotions of any kind.

> This explains my memory pattern perfectly: I remember most big family holidays - Christmas, birthdays, weddings - because those come with heightened emotional anticipation and distinct social components. But I'm already struggling to piece together what we did on Easter this year, and have absolutely no idea what we did last year. The quieter, more routine positive events apparently don't meet that higher "emotional importance" threshold for deep encoding.

I don't remember hardly anything about my own past outside of factual information, and that tends to fade rather extremely with time. Even times when I was quite literally sobbing I don't remember the emotional impact of, just the fact that it happened, sometimes not even the cause.

On the other hand, I have extremely good factual memory about random shit and can usually build up a solid approximation for how something works from first principles on demand for an extremely broad array of things. Trade-offs, I guess.

It's what I imagine being an AI would feel like from the perspective of the AI.

Interesting that they converged on a memory/network architecture similar to a rack of GPUs.

- 152 cores per chip, equivalent to ~128 CUDA cores per SM

- per-chip SRAM (20 MB) equivalent to SM high-speed shared memory

- per-board DRAM (96 GB across 48 chips) equivalent to GPU global memory

- boards networked together with something akin to NVLink

I wonder if they use HBM for the DRAM, or do anything like coalescing memory accesses.

On the timescale of 30 years for gov bonds vs diversified US stocks, this is almost meaningless statement. The longer a risky asset is held, the less chance of loss you’ll have. Short-horizon returns are extremely volatile, but that volatility "mean-reverts" over time.

This is especially true for stocks vs bonds. Because the cash flows of bonds are fixed, prolonged inflation or rate spikes can deliver a loss that stays a loss, making long-term "safety" in bonds partly an illusion.

Damn, usually I'm not this dumb but thx for the reference I didn't even see it. My take is; YouTube is currently your only option if you want to try to make a living as a video content creator but if you want to casually make content and share it with your audience or your friends and family then you can definitely try PeerTube.

I think isolating the call stream to authorised apps makes a lot of sense. Using a accessibility feature to make accessibility work seems like the right solution to this problem. The initial hack (just injecting tones into the system) sounds like a bad solution to be honest.

For other advanced stuff you have to be the default dialer app which also makes a lot of sense. If you're going to be an accessible dialer, you may as well actually communicate to the system that that is what you are. With plenty of open source dialer apps to borrow from, I don't expect the burden to even be that high.

Interestingly, the post writes that the app communicates with the phone over ADB. I wonder if you could just inject keypad button presses using adb, so the app doesn't need to even be an accessibility service to get the tones across? Although I guess that only works if the dialer is in the foreground.

Every VPS provider is "a service to circumvent the block" because you can configure one as a VPN in around 30 seconds, and these are all just legitimate foreign companies many of which use Cloudflare or other shared IP services for their own websites. Are you going to block AWS and Azure and everything on them because US-region instances don't implement French website blocks? You've gone from blocking a couple of pirate sites to blocking >95% of the internet.

Quite a big team. However, not necessarily a difficult one to staff.

That said, the whole thing rests on completely artificial urgency; there's no reason that it had to be done in 30 days (and there _are_ sensible heuristic ways that it could be filtered down; for instance small contracts and those about to expire could be filtered out easily; the article mentions a $35k contract, which is definitely "not worth the bother" level).

"We have a completely artificial deadline, therefore we can't do this properly, therefore we should just do a completely nonsense thing" is not a reasonable approach to doing anything.

Sorry, but none of this correct.

While it's true that early production machines had reliability problems, the same was also true for the C64. The machine we got for xmas 1983 was as solid as a tank.

The tapes were extremely robust and resistant to abuse, much more so than floppy disks. I tried to fry tapes, and couldn't.

For games, the tape drives were surprisingly effective. Sequential data transfer rates are faster than the C64 disk drive, and unlike the C64 they operate independently from the main CPU, with DMA access to the full 64 kB address space.

This means that many games were up and running in seconds and could load upcoming levels in the background while you were playing the game.

(The tape drives were much less effective for random-access, file-based storage, as the seek times were obviously atrocious compared to a disk drive.)

First-party software was also very high quality.

The problem was the business plan. Coleco made the same mistake as Atari and Texas Instruments, in that the business plan was modelled after the game console business. The tapes were expensive and proprietary when they didn't need to be, and the 3rd-party software ecosystem was completely locked down. Technical info was unavailable for hobbyists and independent developers.

By the time the Adam is released, the C64 and Apple IIe are already entrenched in the home markets with exponentially expanding library of independent software. The Adam's locked-down ecosystem couldn't complete.

It only took one year for hobbyists to completely reverse engineer the Adam, at which point some interesting independent software starts to appear. But by that time the business was already dead.

Obviously you can do what you like, but I'd advise making sure box2d (or similar) is super easy. Bonus points if there is also a built in function for drawing box2d objects.

I've often taught beginning game dev in a day, and with box2d in love2d you can very quickly make a wide selection of cool games, and while it's not perfect it makes it easy to get started making platforms, doing collisions, all sorts of things.

Yes all interpretations are biased. Not all elucidations expose those biases to the reader. You had the right amount of sarcasm for most of your post but then brought in references to gender identity that were not germain to your points. They were needless digs that detracted from your main points.

Yes, she did bring up the part about being asked for terms her community uses. She came across as irrational in this part. It’s best to just leave it alone or mention how she came across irrational without saying she is “obvious” about her identity. That line took away some of your credibility. At least to me. I could be wrong.

Logicians and philosophers of mathematics have also questioned ZF set theory and "set theory" more generally.

For example the axiom of infinity (by finitists), the power set axiom and first-order theories in general (the downward Löwenheim-Skolem theorem implies that the infinity and power set axioms can't guarantee the existence on an uncountable power set), the fact that ZF doesn't allow a set of everything, and in particular no proper set complements, the fact that the axiom of regularity seems to be useless, etc.

Of course most ordinary mathematicians don't care about all that, because they don't care about ZF(C) or set theory or the foundation of mathematics in general. They rather care about problems in their specific field, like algebraic topology or whatnot.

I thought the same initially but this may just be a case of recency bias. Small caps have underperformed large cap stocks for the last ~12 years but these things tend to go in cycles: https://blogs.cfainstitute.org/investor/2025/04/24/small-cap....

It will be interesting to see how the next cycle plays out with the recent concentration of returns in large cap tech stocks (Magnificent 7).

For some reason, what feels particular "late stage capitalism" in this is the presentation. All kinds of stuff just dumped into a bin, not even caring to make the products identifiable to customers, let alone presenting them nicely or in any other way pretending for the things to have any kind of value.

It feels like it says "There, stuff! Buy it you shitheads, I know you want to! Because what else do you wanna do here?"

Maybe that's more honest than other stores.

There will never be enough people that care about this to make a dent. For every person complaining about Youtube censorship, there are 10 that are offended you would tell them what platform to use, and don't understand the implications.

It's only content creators that can make the difference, and not the quality ones who have sizeable but niche audiences. The big ones, like Mr Beast. And why would he care? He's consistently spoken about Youtube like it will be THE platform of the next 40 years.

> you need to jump through hoops, pay through the nose, and have 14 different accounts to watch all the sports you want.

It’s not even that. Just to watch the games for one sport and one team requires this. “Remember, next week’s game is available exclusively on ShitStreamTV.” Of course, ShitStreamTV is a Brand New Streaming Network that you’ve never heard of and need yet another subscription for. Then they can’t actually handle the traffic and crash halfway through the game. Trying to get your $24.99 back? Impossible. “Terms of Service mumble mumble blah blah.”

That creates a split between those who get to work on skunk works and those stuck on legacy. It’s very possible to end up with a google like situation where no-one wants to keep the lights on for old projects as doing so would be career suicide. There have been some attempts at other companies at requiring people to have a stake in multiple projects in different stages of the lifecycle but I’ve never seen a stable version of this, as individuals benefit from bending the rules.

If you are the dialer app, you could generate DTMF tones, yes.

If you want to do dialer things without being the dialer, then no. Android doesn't permit apps to access the audio streams of a call to non-dialer apps.

In this case, the solution was to use an accessibility service to perform accessibility tasks as an accessibility app. Quite appropriate, I think. Although it will fail if the dialer of your choice doesn't have a keypad with the exact right labels (or numbers? I don't know if phones in writing systems with alternative numbers still show Arabic numerals on the dialer).
by foldr | 2025-06-06 17:57:05+00:00
No, I haven't. I'm just saying that straight people with kids often talk about their personal lives at work (which is fine), whereas other groups of people don't always feel as free to do the same thing. If we were making a list of "kinds of people who are likely to talk lots about their personal lives in a work environment", then bi trans poly folks would not be at the top of it. If you genuinely disagree with any of those points then we can have a discussion about it. But I can't really connect your sarcastic response with what I originally said.

The statement I was referring to is:

“As others have said, in the United States this is, legally, completely correct: there is no right to privacy in American law.”

That is an incorrect statement. The common law torts I cited can apply in the context of a business transaction, so your statement is also incorrect.

If you’re strawman is that in the US there’s no right to privacy because there’s no blanket prohibition on talking about other people, and what they’ve been up to, then run with it.

I don't get tempted to smash the sell button during major dips, I get tempted to smash the buy button. The only time I smashed the sell button was during the stock market bubble in 1999.

I wanted to buy during this year's dip but I took a look at my asset allocation and I was still way overweight in US stocks compared to my target so I couldn't justify it. Hopefully people freak out even more next time.

Stock market crashes are my happy place.

I also do not find breathwork relaxing, and it's not always meant to be. The Wim Hof method in particular will definitely amp you up and cause some strange feelings. But if you are really having a bad time with it and want to continue, just find some interval that works for you. There is no one right answer for how to do this.

On a personal note, I realized through breathwork that I was taking deep breaths incorrectly for most of my life. Maybe it's my anatomy, but when I take a deep, fast breath, my nostrils constrict and limit the airflow. It was a real breakthrough for me when I learned to focus on my diaphram while flaring my nostrils. The breaths I can take are so much more satisfying.

I actually really like Elasticsearch. It’s very powerful, there’s a healthy ecosystem of tools (increasingly for OpenSearch too), and the query language makes sense to me.

Sure it’s computationally expensive, inefficient even, but for many use-cases it just works.

I’d add that for production deployments, AWS has developed a new instance family that enables OpenSearch data to be stored on S3 [1], bringing significant cost savings.
