>This is your problem and no amount of spinning rust and ZFS is going to fix it.

No it's not, i have not used and CAD-Stuff for 20 years, again don't support stuff you don't like.

The amount of money for Fusion360 to "build" my house is not 1 second of thinking worth...i just don't care, but hey you do! Make a change.

I also don't get it why you try to mix storage and proprietary-software, those are two different things.

The same argument (impossible to replace etc) was made for Microsoft-Office in ~2000, and now the whole French Police uses LibreOffice. If you want a change YOU have to change.

From https://eruvinitiative.org/eruv-basics/

In fact, an entire tractate of the Talmud, called “Eruvin,” is focused on discussing these topics. Most subjects regarding Eruvin are fraught with differing opinions of Jewish Law, and therefore it is of utmost importance that questions related to the Eruv should be discussed with a Posek (Jewish Legal Expert.

There's a bunch of info on that site. I just watched the video on "How to Make a Home Made Shabbos Belt", which is a hack to meet some rules about carrying keys on Saturdays.

Not Jewish, I just enjoy systems of rules.

> I'd like to also thank fediblock for never fact-checking anything ever

Nitpicking time: The link in the blog post just goes to a list of instances that have chosen to defederate. The reason it's not going to any sort of official Fediblock list is because Fediblock was shut down years ago. The author of Fediblock expressed the specific intention of not being definitive in any way and for people to thoroughly cross reference listed instances' standards with their own. My intuition tells me that the author wanted to link to the entry of Fediblock, and failing to find it, substituted that link for its nearest equivalent without fact-checking anything ever.

Not to disagree with you, but even C++ is going through great efforts to improve compile-times through C++20 modules and C++23 standard library modules (import std;). Although no compiler fully supports both, you can get an idea of how they can improve compile-times with clang and libc++

$ # No modules $ clang++ -std=c++23 -stdlib=libc++ a.cpp # 4.8s $ # With modules $ clang++ -std=c++23 -stdlib=libc++ --precompile -o std.pcm /path/to/libc++/v1/std.cppm # 4.6s but this is done once $ clang++ -std=c++23 -stdlib=libc++ -fmodule-file=std=std.pcm b.cpp # 1.5s

a.cpp and b.cpp are equivalent but b.cpp does `import std;` and a.cpp imports every standard C++ header file (same thing as import std, you can find them in libc++' std.cppm).

Notice that this is an extreme example since we're importing the whole standard library and is actually discouraged [^1]. Instead you can get through the day with just these flags: `-stdlib=libc++ -fimplicit-modules -fimplicit-module-maps` and of course -std=c++20 or later, no extra files/commands required! but you are only restricted to doing import <vector>; and such, no import std.

[^1]: non-standard headers like `bits/stdc++.h` which does the same thing (#including the whole standard library) is what is actually discouraged because a. non-standard and b. compile-times, but I can see `import std` solving these two and being encouraged once it's widely available!

We’ve been working on Sweepcasinos.com for over two years — not as a side hustle, but as something we’ve seriously invested in. Our goal: build the go-to platform for tracking sweepstake casino promos and avoiding the kinds of sites that quietly burn users with unclear terms or payout issues.

The site today includes:

A carefully vetted list of sweep casinos with active bonuses

A public blacklist of operators we no longer trust

A bonus comparison engine with tracking and alerts

It’s been through a lot of iteration, and we genuinely believe it's one of the best resources out there — especially for players who want to explore promos without getting scammed or buried in legal sludge.

That said, we’re deep in the weeds, and outside perspective is always valuable. So, even if you’ve never used a site like this before:

What’s your first impression — does it look legit?

Is anything unclear or untrustworthy at first glance?

What would make this feel sharper, more credible, or more useful?

Appreciate any time you take — even a quick gut reaction helps. We’ll keep tuning it.

With an ender 3 it's easy enough, but it does not feel as nice as shot ABS plastic caps.

I am sure though, if you spent time polishing and painting the surface it would feel much better. It's still similar plastic after all.

Biggest problem for me, if printed in PLA the + shaped slot eventually gets too loose and the key pops off. Can just print another but it's annoying for sure.

Resin printers would likely have a much nicer out of the printer feel, with much smoother details at that size (for caps with 3D details on top). You could also print a whole set much quicker. Same speed for one cap as it would be for 100 at once.

I’m a newish Kagi user and I find myself using the LLM about as frequently as search itself.

Sometimes I search for things I know I am looking for. Other times I don’t know quite what I’m looking for or I know in advance that I’m not likely to find it—so I chuck it at Llama 4 Maverick and it usually gives me something useful.

I had no plans to use the LLMs until they opened it up on my tier. At this point however, it’s half the value I get out of Kagi.

I could see cheaper titanium increasing its usage a good bit, only because we already avoid needing it whenever possible already. But overall I agree with you, titanium is significantly lighter than steel, but it isn't meaningfully stronger outside of special use cases, so the extra cost of manufacturing brings little to no value to 95% of steel usecases. Steel is just so easy to work with these days. And if something titanium breaks, its a full replacement of that cast or machined piece because you can't just weld it up with a simple portable welder, while steel can be repaired and modified near anywhere with dozens of relatively cheap and easy to use tools.

The last big commercial game I bought was Portal in the "Orange box." I specifically bought a physical copy because my parent's internet at the time was terrible. After installing it forced a two day redownload of the entire game via Steam. I'm surprised this kind of thing is popular.

I still buy indie games from GOG but I archive my GOG games folder myself and just copy it between computers. No need for any Steam insanity.

I don't think the issue is the storage media. It's the hostile attitude game publishers have. It reminds me of how N-Gate used to talk about companies "being at war with their users."

Yes, and?

Computer programs have been posting on social media since before the term was coined. I'm sure I've heard of someone who got tired of arguing on USENET and just set up an auto-responder that used a Markov chain based on the other person's own words.

The thing about LLMs is, while most people leave the personality as the easily recognisable default voice (and naturally other people come to hate that voice), they absolutely can act almost any voice. To follow the same example as before, I had it generate some personas and then write in those personas, but I didn't direct pro- or anti- position specifically and it chose for itself on each:

{laconic, wry, resigned, autodidact, Finnish/Finnish, left-libertarian} Water has fluoride. So do toothpaste and rats. You decide. (Finnish ESL tone: omission of articles, flat mood, preference for brevity) {verbose, theatrical, irritable, Sorbonne, French/French, centre-left (social democrat)} It is outrageous that in 2025, our governments still engage in mass-medication via tap water. Fluoride, like liberty, must be chosen, not imposed. Vive le droit de choisir! (French ESL: overly formal tone, article misuse avoided but style remains florid and Gallic) {precise, clinical, emotionally flat, ETH Zürich, Swiss/German, centre-right (technocratic)} Fluoridation reduces dental caries by 25% in controlled trials. Adverse effects statistically negligible. Debate should remain evidence-based. (No major ESL errors, but very literal syntax and emotionally muted, as per Swiss German influence) {boisterous, jovial, sentimental, regional uni, Irish/English, centre-left populist} They put fluoride in the water but won’t fix the bloody pipes. Classic. You’re meant to feel lucky your molars are safe while the ceiling leaks. (Native English, but strong regional flavour, irony, and working-class resentment) {aloof, didactic, melancholic, Heidelberg, German/German, post-Marxist} Fluoridated water is another instance of technocratic paternalism: health as mandate, not autonomy. Benevolent control remains control. (German ESL: rigid word order, elevated diction, abstract nouns over verbs)

Firstly, if the article is accurate, it still separates private from public spaces. An omnipotent and omniscient God would have made the rules anticipating good faith interpretations in different times and cultures.

It still means accepting a restriction. I am Christian so do not think the same way about religious law, but if I was asked to come up with a defence of this idea, I would argue it fulfils the purpose of the rule - e.g. people still cannot pop into a office. I am sure someone who knows Jewish law could come up with a much stronger argument, but I just want to make the point you should not assume it is bad faith workaround

The article also says there is a 100 pages on this in the Talmud so that implies there has been a lot of discussion and argument about this.
by amai | 2025-06-09 09:19:22+00:00
Any business with autocrats and dictators should be forbidden. The first 100 countries on this list https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Economist_Democracy_Index you can do business with.

If you do business with the rest you will just strengthen inhumane regimes, which unfortunately not only kill their own people, but these regimes also attack their neigbors (see Ukraine and maybe soon Taiwan).

Money does stink!

Yet if you were to base yourself off of the attention they get on HN you'd think it's the largest search engine in the universe.

I'm tired about seeing all those posts about Kagi. I have yet to see a single example where it outperforms Google. People just don't know how to search.

Every time someone claims Google is becoming bad, ask them to share what they're looking for and how they search for it, and where the problem lies becomes glaringly obvious.

> avoiding it is not particularly hard (synchronized blocks are not the state of the art, but does make it easy to solve a problem).

Please have a read of https://joeduffyblog.com/2010/01/03/a-brief-retrospective-on... (and don't just skim it.)

(This was not written by some nobody, he does know what he talks about.)

Contrast this elegant simplicity with the many pitfalls of locks: Data races. Like forgetting to hold a lock when accessing a certain piece of data. And other flavors of data races, such as holding the wrong lock when accessing a certain piece of data. Not only do these issues not exist, but the solution is not to add countless annotations associating locks with the data they protect; instead, you declare the scope of atomicity, and the rest is automatic. Reentrancy. Locks don’t compose. Reentrancy and true recursive acquires are blurred together. If a locked region expects reentrancy, usually due to planned recursion, life is good; if it doesn’t, life is bad. This often manifests as virtual calls that reenter the calling subsystem while invariants remain broken due to a partial state transition. At that point, you’re hosed. Performance. The tension between fine-grained locking (better scalability) versus coarse-grained locking (simplicity and superior performance due to fewer lock acquire/release calls) is ever-present. This tension tugs on the cords of correctness, because if a lock is not held for long enough, other threads may be able to access data while invariants are still broken. Scalability pulls you to engage in a delicate tip-toe right up to the edge of the cliff. Deadlocks. This one needs no explanation.

Can you share more about employees who support Russian invasion of Ukraine?

The Yandex seems to be using index just like index from other providers? It's not some special relationship, it's just like they pay Microsoft or Google. Both Microsoft and Google are happy military contractors so to me that is as bad as paying russian company.

It's shit but i need search. Seems like there are no "good guy" indexes?

You seem to have some trouble with words and concepts. And what seems to be a - creepy? - obsession with people losing their individual reproductive autonomy for some nebulous ‘greater good’.

Taking a hammer and using it to smash my hand for no individual benefit is unlikely and makes no sense, but certainly not impossible. Everyone on the planet doing it all at once, continuously, is also technically not impossible - but is never going to happen. For reasons that are very good for humanity in the long run.

Such as it is with evolution.

Not unless the borg take over anyway. Which we all should hope never, ever, happens.

If that after the top 100 countries on that list made money trading with the rest, or before? A lot of the wealth in first world countries is build on exploiting the corruption in developing countries. That's why the incentive for them to stay corrupt, as long as they play ball with the western powers and sell their resources and peoples' labor for cheap to western companies.

I always just assumed these were terrible.

There just isn’t enough info in a photo, even for the world’s leading calorie counting expert, to give a sensible estimate of the calories content. Ans even more so for macros.

Add to that the fact vision is still pretty crap and you have a complete joke that I can’t believe anyone is paying for.

Are you trying to imply, that every physicist working in the academic field, who is not lucky enough to stumble on the correct theory is less productive than Einstein? I thought it was common knowledge, that at least 99% of all research is failing.

RCT was coded in assembly, because Chris Sawyer had 12 years of professional experience in assembly. It seems impressive from today's perspective, because today an average developer never really touches assembly outside the single university course. One could even argue, that a more productive programmer would have already switched to C by 1995.

My goal is not to trivialize their achievements. I think if people payed more attention to these stories, then they would have a more healthy outlook on the world. Also they would understand, that working hard in your basement is only a part of the recipe.

I used MyFitnessPal to lose 15kg a few years ago and I have a theory that the act of calorie counting (ie the effort of working it out and labour of putting it into the app) is a key part of why it works. It becomes just slightly more effort to eat something and it makes you stop and think. Making it easier I would expect to make it also easier to eat more.

Given the scheduling was clearly not based on a medical recommendation in the first place given they were prepared to change it, then even a single datapoint suggesting it might have an impact should be reason to do at least minimal investigation into whether #3 might be better served by altering the schedule.

Since they clearly could alter the schedule, offering a limited number of later slots and comparing results would seem like the prudent response.

The process has already begun - UK petrol station numbers are down by a third since the beginning of the century.

As you say, they'll all but cease to exist in urban areas, with the process mostly complete by the end of the 2030s. I'm not sure that dedicated EV charging stations will be all that common in cities, though. Why not use existing car parks for that?

Some probably will end up being used as surface car parks where there's demand for it, but urban land values are such that I suspect most will be knocked down and replaced with apartments or larger retail units. A few may retain the forecourt structures as a form of kitsch (think of the florists beside Regents Park in London, or the Hyde Park Book Club in Leeds).

There'll probably be a growing niche for domestic fuel delivery services. You might also see a minor resurgence of the very small neighbourhood filling stations that mostly died out in the 1970s/80s - the sort of place that does MOT checks or tyre changes today. Some might end up installing a pump or two, to cater for vintage car enthusiasts.

Ah the classic "do something to prevent outside organizations from having agency in your project" (pin dependency versions) followed by "delegate the agency to an automation because agency comes with responsibilities."

It reminds me of the github bot someone posted here at the beginning of the year (it was hard to tell if it was satire) that just automatically approved (not merged, just approved) PRs to get around some technicality in some (supposedly machine verified) infosec standard that required two human approvals on every PR.

Another similarly stupid thing is when you're trying to connect USB Serial device to your Android Smartphone.

Well, you connect it, it appears to work. Then you want to write an application to use that USB serial interface. But apparently you can't. You start to dig in and it appears that you just don't have permissions to access `/dev/ttyACM0` (or whatever the name of the serial device is, sorry, I might have misspell it).

Serial support is built into the kernel, but inaccessible to user program, not without rooting anyway.

Dig further and it appears that Android has userspace USB access. Similar to libusb, or may be it's built on top of libusb?. Matters not.

So you can open "raw" USB device from your Android program. But you can't open serial USB device. Serial USB is just a protocol on top of USB. Actually it's a set of half-proprietary protocols. FTDI, some other protocols. I didn't dig into it much. But there are half-backed libraries for Android, which actually implement those protocols in the userspace, so in the end you can access USB serial device... At least some of them.

Also I think that you can open raw USB device from your Android Chrome browser, using WebUSB! But not WebSerial. Probably for the same reason.

What surprised me in the end: why even enable USB serial support in the kernel? For debugging?

Agree that it is frustrating and not as satisfying to work using LLM's, I found myself on a plane recently without internet and it was great coding with no LLM access. I feel like we will slowly figure out how to use them in a reasonable way and it will likely involve doing smaller and more modular work, I disabled all tab auto suggestions because I noticed they throw me off track all the time.

If you think they're worth $60 an address then you can make a fortune buying them at half the price at https://auctions.ipv4.global/prior-sales

At 5% roi though, even $60 an address would be $3 a year. Address owners typically charge far more -- Amazon for example charges $43 an address per year.

I interpret these acts (trying extremely hard to find loopholes in divine command) to be ways to absolve the observant religious person from the guilt. It has no affect on the god.

It’s more of a “I can argue that I checked the box when I meet my maker and have to explain myself.”

Also, hopefully nobody actually takes these rules so seriously that they end up hurting or killing anyone. There was a bicyclist who was injured when one of these lines fell far below installation height, but I’m thinking more about, for example, people who need to use hospital equipment during the Sabbath.

> It makes me wonder, how much better is 671B vs 32B?

32B has improved leaps and bounds in the past year. But Deepseek 671B is still a night and day comparison. 671B just knows so much more stuff.

The main issue with RAM-only builds is that prompt ingestion is incredibly slow. If you're going to be feeding in any context at all, it's horrendous. Most people quote their tokens/s with basically non-existent context (a few hundred tokens). Figure out if you're going to be using context, and how much patience you have. Research the speed you'll be getting for prompt processing / token generation at your desired context length in each instance, and make your decision based on that.

In some senses, everything is political. When Ignaz Semmelweis said ~ "Doctors should wash their hands between autopsies and helping midwifes give birth" he failed in his own lifetime because of politics.

> Nobody calls it misinformation if you make a false claim about how much RAM a computer has or some scientific fact that has no relation to politics.

Wasn't this common during the Cold War? Each side making false claims about both side's computers? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cybernetics_in_the_Soviet_Unio...

Isn't it basically what's happening now with public statements about how big "Stargate" will be, and how much of a risk there is of Chinese compute catching up with American compute?

The "target SDK" and "minimum SDK" versions can be set separately. It's mostly just a cultural norm in the Apple ecosystem not to support older versions.

This is supported by 1. Apple being relatively good at releasing new versions iOS for older hardware. 2. Users (at least historically) typically being on a ~2 year upgrade cycle. But it's also just the case that the Apple ecosystem (including on macOS) tends not to value backwards compatibility as much as other ecosystems.

Even this is pretty usable, handling value conversions and such thanks to comptime. (Take a look at the tests here: https://github.com/eknkc/zquickjs/blob/master/src/root.zig)
