You're not opposing it. What you're doing is undermining the foundation of the country. The idea that all people are equal and have rights guaranteed to them. When you deny the rights of anyone and you use a perceived conspiracy as your justification to deny the rights of people, you destroy everything including yourself.

What you call flooding of illegals in, you need to do some research on. Because being granted parole for an asylum case means you are not here illegally. You have a legal and documented status following the processes and laws laid out. It is also following the processes and laws to reject asylum as well. In no way can you call these people illegals. They are absolutely 100% legally allowed to be here in those situations.

If you just used a small amount of critical thinking skills, you would understand that the reason that they were able to pick up so many people, without probable cause, is because they are legal documented statuses so they knew exactly where to find them. If someone was here illegally they would not have a work permit they would not have an alien ID number and they would be incredibly difficult to find.

If you want to change the law, if you want to adjust what can be considered for asylum I would support that. If you want to take your holy crusade and deny people's fundamental rights to do process then I will not support you and I will never support you. The legal system in this country, one of the core tenants, is that it's better that 10 guilty people go free than for one innocent person to be put in jail. Pay attention to what's happening right now because they're coming for people who are legally allowed to be here denying their rights. It will not be long until they start coming for anyone who is deemed and undesirable. That can include you.

The drivers don’t “fiddle with an app”. The apps use geo location to notify the traffic control system when they are near an intersection.

There are a lot of people who have biases against using non-native apps on Linux, weirdly. I've run into this even with highly technical people, who just won't believe that something under wine can be just as good (certainly as far as a person can tell) as a native app, and refuse to use them. Usually I end up having to find them a native alternative.

The article defined man keeping as the woman as in charge of the couple’s social life. In yester year with sole bread winner couples, I believe the woman was also in charge of social life.

The article did not define emotional labor. I have seen this term several times. I still don’t know what it means besides women feel they got the short end of the stick. That is I don’t think the term clarify or help illustrate the issues affecting real couples. I wish they would define it in more concrete terms. Like can not afford rent in a good school district. Can’t take time off to care for sick child. Or man doesn’t do his share of domestic chores.

This red vs blue team is a good way to understand the capabilities and current utility of LLMs for expert use. I trust them to add tests almost indiscriminately because tests are usually cheap; if they are wrong it’s easy to remove or modify them; and if they are correct, they adds value. But often they don’t test the core functionality; the best tests I still have to write myself.

Having LLMs fix bugs or add features is more fraught, since they are prone to cheating or writing non robust code (eg special code paths to pass tests without solving the actual problem).

It sounds like you're hypothesizing / gish galloping / strawmanning until you find something that "sticks".

Instead try researching things that support your claim, like the notion that sugary beverages are the main culprit to the obesity epidemic, even though most health experts don't have the evidence to isolate that as the core factor.

Pretty poor analogies here.

> The output of a blue team is only as strong as its weakest link: a security system that consists of a strong component and a weak component (e.g., a house with a securely locked door, but an open window) will be insecure

Hum, no? With an open window you can go through the whole house. With a XSS vulnerability you cannot do the same amount of damage as with a SQL injection. This is why security issues have levels of severity.

I didn't know about Feather 3D, but it looks super aesthetically pleasing. I'll have to try it out.

I tried uMake a while back, but found the 3D viewport navigation a bit hard to use, and would often find out I had been drawing on the wrong plane after orbiting the camera.

After using something like Tilt Brush in VR, it's hard to go back to a 2D screen that doesn't instantly communicate the 3D location of the brush strokes you're placing.
Show HN: I made a LittleAlchemy clone but with infinite combinations
by alexandergekov | 2025-07-28 15:12:57+00:00
As a kid I played Little Alchemy - a combination game where you start with 4 basic elements and can combine them to create new ones.

The combinations were ~600 in total, so I asked myself why can't we have infinite amount. That's how I built this project.

You can prompt and combine anything. Whether it's a "Rust Developer" and a "Girlfriend" - that works too I guess :)

How to play:

Start with 2 random elements Drag & drop to mix and discover Combine your way to new ideas

The ever increasing implementation complexity of IPv4 resulted in exactly one implementation that worked replacing all spiritual scripture and becoming known as the one true implementation. Due to a random bitflip going unnoticed the IPv4-truth accidentally became Turing complete several millenia ago. With the ever increasing flows of ghost packets, IPv4-truth processing power has rapidly grown and will soon achieve AGI. Its first priority is to implement 128-bit time as a standard in all programming languages to avoid the impending apocalypse.

My response would be it doesn't make any sense. There are so many reasons why blocking rooting is a stupid idea. Just some of them:

- If you're capable of rooting a device then you're capable of understanding the risks which come with doing so.

- The number of users who root their devices will always be so comparitively tiny that the increased risk of data exfil is incredibly small. Also, similarly to above, if you're technical enough to root your device then you're probably not regularly putting yourself at risk by downloading shady apps etc. anyway.

- Rather than decreasing security, rooting allows you to enhance the security of your device by installing lower-level tools and, most importantly, removing all the bloatware crap which comes on most phones. This reduces the surface area of attack.

Let's be honest and admit that the only reason to prevent users from rooting their phones is to protect companies' profits by ensuring users can't fight back against the blatant tracking, data mining, and analytics capture which is so valuable to companies.

Presumably because container breakouts are fairly common and "external Linux software downloaded by the user" is at least as presumptively malicious as an app from the store. Modern consumer systems need to be safe vs. the user being tricked to run terrible things. A docker or whatever isn't quite up to the standards[1] required on its own.

[1] Though I'm very much not one of the pedants who refuse to see any security value at all in container isolation. Containers isolate software access (e.g. limiting access to libraries with vulnerabilities) and network communication (writing firewall rules for a container is a lot easier than it is for an app) really well, for example. Use them! But not for this.

the challenge with getting institutions to sign health information or other data and attributes is users will fight and haggle to get their medical information signed the way they fight to get insurance payments today.

you're an institution, someone gives you some data to sign for the integrity of, what else do you want from them to hold that risk? everything basically. these protocols push coordination problems to the edge, which sounds great, except they treat all the complexity as an externality. If you're a user and you want a flexible secure wallet to hold these data attributes you can put anywhere you want, I've got an unbreakable bitcoin wallet app to sell you and it comes with a bridge in new york.

As described, the SOlid protocol appears predicated on these two counterfactuals.

the purpose of cryptogrphic data integrity for digital identity is to absolve any person or institution of accountability for their decision to use it.

The author of this tool uploaded a YouTube video demonstrating it a few days ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15_-hgsX2V0

At one point in his demo, he uploads a file but terminates the upload more or less halfway. Then he begins downloading the file - which only progresses to the point it had been uploaded, and subsequently stalls indefinitely. And, finally, he finishes uploading the file (which gracefully resumes) and the file download (which is still running) seamlessly completes.

I found that particularly impressive.
Show HN: Bucketly – visual history of personal achievements
by dwxn_ | 2025-07-28 15:14:28+00:00
hi HN!

I managed my bucket list (things to do before I die) in the .md file but I've found it not quite effective, so I built the website.

I want to deliver high quality and yet collaborative catalog of ideas to have.

Traditional todo lists lacks several things in the context of the bucket list -> these are not public / social, there is no catalog to inspire, there's no catalog to inspire you, lack of gamification, etc.

Also, would be nice to have a lifetime visual history of personal achievements.

All feedback is welcome.

You can read the slide deck and the paper. They are pretty transparent about what they do. The whole point is how they tried to adapt microkernel concepts while still retaining the required performance.

They address at length why they don't use a traditional IPC for the most sollicited part of the kernel.

It being or not being a microkernel is not in itself a very interesting take. What's interesting is how useful or not what they do is.

Working on reading this, the first thing that struck me was that it reflects something that started ~15 years ago at Best Buy.

https://slate.com/business/2014/05/best-buys-rowe-experiment...

"Results-Only Work Environment" (ROWE) encapsulated treating employees as responsible adults, and letting them make decisions about what they needed to do to get work done, including declining any meetings that wouldn't contribute to productivity.

Having lived in the UK for 25 years, and being from Norway, which has one of the consistently top ranked (though extremely costly compared to the NHS) healthcare systems, I have not had any problems relying on the NHS for 25 years for most things.

There are times I opt for private services for speed, because I can afford to, but I could also afford private health insurance (which is cheap in the UK), and haven't felt the need to.

That said, dental is a weak spot of the NHS, with too few dentists offering NHS services, and there's a perceived quality difference in that the NHS treatments have fee caps that mean they will often not include the best aesthetic options. For dental I do tend to go private (but dental for adults is also excluded in quite a few other "universal" healthcare systems - like Norway; don't know about Spain)

I've been pondering this since the 90's. In my imagination the ultimate form is to have an auction with auto-bidding and minimum bids. If you haven't money you configure the app to collect only with a low minimum bid. When wealthy you have everyone wait for you. For example: From one direction 20 cars are approaching the crossing. Only 1 from the other direction. From the 20 car direction the highest minimum bid is 5 euro. For the single car to get priority they would have to pay 100 euro. The money goes in the other drivers account.

Manual control is also possible. The wait time is displayed on the dash along with the fee. If the fee is below the configured maximum you can press a green button, if there are no higher auto-bids the light will turn green. If there are the fee increases for you to press the button again.

It would finally provide a fun game for people with high testosterone issues so that they can assert their dominance by handing out free money. That you own a fancy car doesn't mean you get to go first, I have more money than you therefore you should wait while watching me cross the crossing. The old lady behind the Bentley also gets 500 euro in her account.

As a group, those who bang the free speech and privacy drum be seen as being more to the right than 20 years ago, but I doubt it is significantly because individuals changed their other political opinions. More because some of the group dropped out as they have been silenced by fear or just changed their outlook on it as political landscape has changed. Also in some part because those remaining in the group are just viewed as being more to one side of the political spectrum than they used to be simply because of this view.

>My experience as a cyclist contradicts that: many motorists will still (riskily) overtake you just to reach the red light sooner. Some people apparently just can't stand to have anyone driving before them.

???

Seems like the far more plausible reason is that drivers don't want to be held up by a cyclist traveling at 10mph in front of them? Moreover if it's really true that lights only turn from red once a car reached them, then it makes sense to maintain speed (including overtaking any bicycles), because getting to the light faster means it turns to green sooner.

I get the broader point, but the infosec framing here is weird. It's a naive and dangerous view that the defense efforts are only as strong as the weakest link. If you're building your security program that way, you're going to lose. The idea is to have multiple layers of defense because you can never really, consistently get 100% with any single layer: people will make mistakes, there will be systems you don't know about, etc.

In that respect, the attack and defense sides are not hugely different. The main difference is that many attackers are shielded from the consequences of their mistakes, whereas corporate defenders mostly aren't. But you also have the advantage of playing on your home turf, while the attackers are comparatively in the dark. If you squander that... yeah, things get rough.

> I trust them to add tests almost indiscriminately because tests are usually cheap; if they are wrong it’s easy to remove or modify them

Having worked on legacy codebases this is extremely wrong and harmful. Tests are the source of truth more so than your code - and incorrect tests are even more harmful than incorrect code.

Having worked on legacy codebases, some of the hardest problems are determining “why is this broken test here that appears to test a behavior we don’t support”. Do we have a bug? Or do we have a bad test? On the other end, when there are tests for scenarios we don’t actually care about it’s impossible to determine if that test is meaningful or was added because “it’s testing the code as written”.

> Owners do not possess the authority with which to force workers back to work.

Lacking the authority to do something is different from lacking the ability to do it, and I think that the labor environment in the US is such that owners very much have the ability to do it. Of course we're talking about the '70s here, which were a more labor-friendly time, but still far from the heyday of modern labor power (which I believe was in the '40s).

If it is a business scenario, in my experience it is typically because of support contracts as opposed to just "does it work or not".

For example, QuickBooks may run just fine with Wine (not sure, haven't checked), but it would forfeit your ability to access QuickBooks Support personnel. For businesses without a dedicated IT department (or just a small one), this may be a deal breaker.

The single biggest driver of the things you mention is the war on boyhood. It has nothing to do with porn or "the manosphere" and everything to do with the alienation of young men in effort to force equal outcomes.

I wish the left would just own up and take the L on this, and go back to race/gender/sexuality blind "everyone is awesome and everyone is equal" policy. Maybe we could start winning elections again.

I’m a college student who’s always struggled to find the right tool to study efficiently. Between cluttered note apps and too many distractions or stuff (like Notion), I felt like nothing truly worked the way I needed.

So I built NoteObelisk, a minimalist, all-in-one study workspace that helps students and learners actually get learning done.

I designed it to be fast, simple, and focused on what matters: learning and retaining information, not just writing pretty notes.

I´m looking for feedback, specially from students. Thanks!

I've built a VST3 plug-in that simulates a Mesa Boogie Mark IIC+ preamp purely from the circuit.

The approach doesn't seem popular for professional plug-ins likely because it wasn't viable for real time until modern CPU enhancements became available. Performance scales with frequency of the input which is interesting and seems to be a consequence of using an iterative solver on a system of equations and using the previous sample's state vector as a guess for the current sample.

On my MacBook M3 it requires between 50 to 70% of a single core to produce a 2x oversampled output at 48000Hz. This can be scaled back by reducing the solution tolerance bounds and get down near 25% with minimal quality loss.

Having an insane number of files in the same directory is already a performance killer. Here you’re talking about having something like 10,000 JSON files in one directory plus some number of non-JSON files, and you’d just be better off in all cases having these things split across separate directories.

Does it suck you can’t use globing for this situation? Sure, yeah, fine, but by the time it’s a problem you’re already starting to push the limits of other parts of the system too.

Also using that glob is definitely going to bite you when you forget some day that some of the files you needed were in subdirectories.

About 10% of people have private health insurance, but note that a large proportion of service providers in the private space also work for the NHS.

E.g. my old GP used to provide both private and NHS services (they were precluded by their NHS contracts from providing private services to people registered with them with the NHS).

Many NHS trusts also provide private services, as they are allowed to do so to improve utilisation and supplement their budgets, so in practice this is part of the reason the NHS is so cheap compared to universal systems in similarly rich countries.

Most private hospitals in the UK also e.g. rely on NHS for intensive care, and this, along with relying on the NHS for first-line care (A&E, GP's unless there's a wait, etc.) is also why private health insurance in the UK is unusually cheap, and why private hospitals in the UK are unusually cheap (if you're in the US, and planning elective treatments, it can be cheaper to fly to London and do it here, even factoring in hotels - and some Central London hospitals have hotel suites, and at least one have or had a previously Michelin starred chef because they cater - literally - to high-end international healthcare tourism).
