Agreed! In the 68k Mac's lifetime, you could emulate a Mac on an Amiga in realtime (in software alone with ShapeShifter, or add hardware support with A-Max II) and run most of its software, as that software was OS-bound and never touched hardware directly, whereas most AmigaOS software touched Amiga hardware, so never the other way around.

There's also different audiences. If you had an Amiga because it had cool, arcade quality games for the time... you'd be looking for more cool games in future. So you'd *probably look to the SNES and Megadrive, and then the Playstation. Hence you'd switch to them rather than stick with the Amiga.

Whereas, if you were a business, you're looking for the software you bought to keep working. If you were in publishing, you had Quark Express on Macs. If you were in music production, you had Cubase on Atari STs, Sibeleus on Acorns (though in the case of both of those, there was pressure on the software vendors to make an Intel/Windows version too). If you were is business, you had Word and Excel on IBM PCs and compatibles. Hence why you'd stick with that line of computers.

The Amiga never really had much of a "professional" following, even though its multimedia software opened up a lot of amateur creativity. There were only really things like the Video Toaster in the USA, and even that obscured that it was actually an Amiga.

That said... even the Mac was not certain to survive. In the 1990s, Apple suffered from a lot of clone Macs taking away their market share; ultimately what saved them was Microsoft being forced to keep them on life support (keep producing Office for Mac), and ultimately Steve Jobs return and bringing NeXT with him, which turned into Mac OS X and the iMac and renewed relevance.

Thanks for the endorsement. I'm in NoVA as well, and this piqued my interest. I have a company that does spraying monthly, but it seems to have mixed results. The technician doesn't spray my herb and vegetable gardens (or my neighbors lawns), which makes suspect that these areas just replenish my area after the insecticide goes away.

One thing this won't help with are the chiggers which also populate my yard. But I'll happily deal with less mosquitos. I'll look forward to giving this a try.

I don't have any particular knowledge about oxide's cooling, but think about how bloated and inefficient literally every part of the compute stack is from metal to seeing these words on a screen. If you imagine fixing every part of it to be efficient top to bottom, I think you'll agree that we're not even in the same galaxy as the physical limitations of moving electrons around at high speeds.

This is what Israel has been willing to face, from their continuous settlement expansions, to occupation of resources, to negligence of international law.

Israel believes in (winning) conflicts. For as long as they have power and illusion of victory, they will brazenly ignore human suffering and wage war against anyone who stands in their way, and whatever fallout happens is what they secretly want for justification of their belligerence.

Today a man who spotlighted settlement violence and behavior was killed by the same. That is terrorism. And Israel has been waging through settlers as their proxies.

Interesting. I am a native of Florida and happen to have a really horrendous backyard for mosquitoes. I've had county officials out to examine the area and can't find sources of water causing them.

I'd like to know how to empirically measure a population of mosquitoes to be able to evaluate the over time effectiveness of the treatments I've used as nothing seems to help.

Mosquito tubes with pesticide placed around the property, butane dispersers, zappers, citronella candles. I've tried everything! More than willing to try this.

That being said on an ecological level I am concerned about wiping out sub species non biter mosquitoes.

https://www.alieward.com/ologies/culicidology

Great episode going over them but I'm curious as to whether science should step in and eliminate human menacing mosquitoes. Why? Well clearly we're trying to accomplish it ourselves and there's no selection for sub species here.

We always hear about mosquito science rumors down here in the land of UF inventing love bugs (myth). I wonder if it would be capable of impacting only a single species. (Neutering males with a generic modification ruining breeding efforts.)

Sucks compared to what?

Vite (build tool) + React is all you need, and a command line away from setting up React with TypeScript. If you don't like how "heavy" it is, you can use Preact. Similarly, for a Node (express) project, all you gotta do is `npm i express`, with additional setup if you want TS and other dev. niceties. Or just use a batteries included framework like Nest/Adonis and skip all that.

It's not that complicated, the frontend targets the browsers, so you have to transpile if you want to ensure compatibility, prevent theft, reduce the size, or not, and you could just wing it using the plain source code.

Again, it's the best for writing APPS. For an app, with complex navigation, features, UI states, it find it asinine that your biggest complains are about the packages.

Your argument is subtly biased in that you equivocating two different levels of entities: one of them is a political/militant/terrorist organisation and another is a state.

If we're dealing with the first level we should compare Hamas and Likud (+coalition); if we're dealing with the second level, we should compare Palestine and Israel. Elevating Hamas to represent the entirety of Palestine in the conflict is twisting the logic.

> This all started for me about three years ago, when I left a Google review for a doctor saying I felt discriminated against. Shortly after, I got slapped with a legal threat demanding €40,000 in damages. I ended up settling and paying €1,000 in legal fees just to avoid the nightmare of going to court. That was my wake-up call—but back then, I thought it was an edge case.

Sounds like you need an anti-slapp law[1], I did a quick google and it looks like one is in the works[2] but not implemented yet. Given your experience it seem unlikely anything is currently in place, of if there is it does not give much protection.

Show HN: I built a Fivetran cost monitor app natively on Snowflake
by abhilashtdharan | 2025-07-30 15:58:22+00:00
From the time Fivetran switched to pricing based on MARs per connector this march, I’ve been hearing from data practitioners about how difficult it is to compute Fivetran’s pricing.

https://www.reddit.com/r/dataengineering/comments/1ij5mhw/fi...

So I built a fivetran cost monitor, fully native on Snowflake using Streamlit, and published it as a free listing - just search for “ETL Cost Monitor” on the Snowflake Marketplace. It factors in your current pricing model and any contracted discount (for annual agreements) to provide a detailed breakdown using fivetran metadata tables: current and forecasted cost, connector‑level and table‑level cost distribution, and high‑volume connector insights.

You can also set a monthly budget and receive email alerts if actual or forecasted costs exceed the threshold. Alerts are also available for sudden MAR spikes. Alerts are handled using Snowflake tasks and email notification integrations created by the user.

I think there are also a lot of default rules which aren't enforced until they're bumped up in severity in the .editorconfig.

Also it can hook into roslyn analyzers, so if you want a more opinionated analyzer then stylecop analyzers ( https://github.com/DotNetAnalyzers/StyleCopAnalyzers) would be an option, although I haven't used it myself for a long time.

JSON + compression (++speed --size ==win)

your server can do this natively for live data. your browser can decompress natively. and ++human-readable. if you're one of those that doesn't want the user to read the data, then maybe CBOR is attractive??? but why would you send data down the wire that you don't want the user to see? isn't the point of sending the data to the client is so the client can display that data?

Freelancers and consultants do absolutely have the option to get paid by the feature. It’s exceedingly rare for internal employees or contract employees though. That means there’s no market competition based on it yet. Some places do have bonuses or even profit sharing. Some senior ICs and many managers across the industry can get equity through either grants or options.

Sales professionals have a lot of different places they can sell things. The market-rate compensation for sales includes commissions. So to get the best sales people, you want something easy and exciting to sell with a good commission structure tied to the sales.

> but if I was choosing between two jobs where one was utterly boring but paid 3 times more than a fascinating job, I'd take the latter in a heartbeat.

I chose my current job against competing offers because it was a good thing for the world, but I would not have taken significantly reduced pay for it. Let me tell you why: nobody that insists on paying you below market rates is going to treat you right. Some of the worst professional interactions I've ever dealt with involved high ranking individuals at nonprofits. These were orgs may have had genuinely good missions, but also paid rank and file employees quite poorly. On the other side, the 3x above market rate job is just a fantasy. I could believe it if you were talking about a 20% bonus.

A gigawatt is a lot of power. That's more than a million fancy Nvidia cards, and at peak power not average. Apparently you can get around 40 nvidia cards in a rack, so that's 25000 racks, give or take.

It all sounds like one of those startups that plan to grow to the size of Facebook, maybe by next Tuesday. And then expanding to five times that.

We didn't use anything from OCP. When we first started the company, we thought we might use the enclosure (and considered ourselves "OCP inspired"), but there ended up being little value in doing so (and there was a clear cost). And on the stuff that we really cared about (e.g., getting rid of the traditional BMC), we were completely at odds with OCP (where ASPEED BMCs abound!).

So in the end, even the mechanical and power didn't come from OCP. We clearly build on other components (we didn't build own rectifiers!), but we absolutely built the machine from first principles.

Not how it works. If you looked at the website, you'd see that you print and cut the tickets at home before hand on a normal printer.

Could you use double slit experiment (DSE) as an eye detector and sort of brain radar?

Let's say that you have DSE on a glass platform and inside a sphere with a slit for light to enter. The sphere is rotating around the DSE in the middle so when DSE will collapse then by taking angle of a slit on the sphere to DSE in the middle we can say that somebody is observing DSE in that particular angle.

Questions from me would be

1. Is there a distance limitation where observing DSE won't collapse?

2. Can you collapse DSE by observing it through camera?

3. How sentient you need to be to collapse DSE? Can a rat do it? Can an insect do it? Can only humans do it? Can AI do it?

If there is no distance limitation, we should put this device into an orbit. If it collapses while shielding sphere prevents humans to see the DSE, it is a proof that there is a life outside of Earth, because somebody is gazing in our direction. How sentient depends on point 3.

> The factor of 72 is accidentially also the number of GPUs in a full GB200 DGX rack

Sure, but in the article it is already mentioned as 1000 TPS/User for an 8 GPU node, and the rack contains 9 nodes - i.e. 9x more GPUs, not 72x - so the 72000 TPS/Server simply being a multiple of 72 seems like a red herring.

But yeah, I agree that 72x seems high - although only 9x seems low given vLLM showing over 20x speedups with continuous batching. I guess there are a lot of variables.
by filleokus | 2025-07-30 16:00:06+00:00
I guess it depends a lot on your situation, but for OP's method to be effective you need to out-compete other breeding grounds in not only your backyard but also X feet/meters away (whatever distance mosquitoes typically fly to "hunt").

If there's a nice shallow pond on the property line 100 feet from your porch (or water filled tires at the sloppy neighbour or whatever it might be), I seriously doubt the efficacy of the method in the article.

This thing would lure in any mosquitoes (and unfortunately other things, as per sibling comment) that fly in your backyard, wherever they come from.

For electricity: That also of course depends, but around here it's not uncommon to have an outlet on the outside of some garage or outbuilding or something. The product I linked have a 50 feet cord as well. The fan noise has not been noticeable at all when I've seen it.

Show HN: RKIK v0.6.0 – A stateless NTP inspection CLI (Rust, async, no root)
by aguacero7 | 2025-07-30 16:00:35+00:00
Hi HN,

I've just released version 0.6.0 of RKIK (Rusty Klock Inspection Kit), a command-line tool for inspecting NTP servers. It's designed for passive, read-only analysis of NTP offset and delay — much like `dig` is to DNS or `ping` is to ICMP.

Why?

In environments where you can't or don't want to run `chronyd`, `ntpd`, or `ntpdate` (e.g. containers, sandboxes, CI), there's no lightweight way to check if your system is drifting from trusted NTP servers.

RKIK fills that gap: - Query one or more NTP servers - Compare offsets between multiple servers asynchronously (thanks to Tokio) - Output in JSON or readable text - Works with both IPv4 and IPv6 - No root, no sync, no config, no daemon - Written in Rust, single binary (~2MB)

Example usage:

rkik pool.ntp.org rkik --compare time.google.com time.cloudflare.com rkik -C ntp1 ntp2 ntp3 --format json

Example output:

Server: time.google.com Offset: -1.203 ms RTT: 2.320 ms RefID: GOOG Stratum: 1

Why Rust?

It compiles to a small static binary, has great async support via Tokio, and excellent libraries for terminal UI and NTP packet decoding.

Repo: https://github.com/aguacero7/rkik

Crates.io: https://crates.io/crates/rkik

Docs: https://aguacero7.github.io/rkik

Happy to hear feedback — especially if you're working with time drift, embedded systems, or observability pipelines.

It is unclear to me that Palestinians represent an “ethnonationalist” block. My understanding is that the definition of “Jewish” for the purposes of immigration to Israel is a somewhat precise combination of genealogical or religious criteria. But I don’t know of an equivalent definition for Palestinian. Can someone educate me on this? In the absence of such a definition, it seems that the primary conflict is whether Palestine should be specifically designated as a home for all “Jews” or merely as a home for the people that currently live there.

Again - I’d love further education about legal definitions.

You reminded me of this interview with Harlan Ellison that was making the rounds a while ago [0]. I think there's some kernel of truth there. I've heard a lot of people from both sides say that they prefer to die than to leave the land. So following up on Harlan's proposal, I would be in favour of the international community owning up to the situation and offering full asylum and permanent resettlement with a short-term path to citizenship to every single person living in Israel & Palestine who prefers to live than to stay there, and then just letting those who prefer to stay and kill each other to do so, until (hopefully) they sort out their differences and decide to declare peace and join the international community.

One question - how does this prevent mosquitos from breeding in other bits of standing water that I can't locate?

I have no idea where ours are coming from; I suspect they hatch somewhere, and then migrate to the shaded areas of my yard, which is where I typically get bit.

Adding a bucket will prevent some mosquitoes from laying eggs elsewhere, but not all, right? Or is the bucket so attractive to mosquitoes that they ignore other water sources?

> Always amusing that this is the go-to argument against free markets, when the major cause of housing unaffordability is that governments prevent housing from being built.

I’m not sure where you live, but in my little corner of California, this is not the major problem.

The bottleneck is builders.

There are requests from local government for affordable housing all the time, but builders earn more on the higher end stuff.

The governments are starting to do workarounds by bundling high end developments with affordable housing, so I hope that works moving forward.

Source: My buddy who is a general contractor. I don’t know how this works, but he has pointed out local examples to me.

> All I see is that I've been personally attacked and mischaracterized.

I think there is a fundamental gap in communication. Your actual point is not coming across at all, anywhere in this thread.

That's why you're getting downvoted.

"For Pony in particular, the syntax is not important ... it's simply not the point of the language."

You said that in direct response to someone who was wanting to see the syntax. While I do appreciate that it's not strictly speaking necessary in the context of your reply, it doesn't communicate at all why syntax isn't important to the pony language. You're just making a definitive statement unsupported by anything. Context or even a brief explanation would have been extremely helpful and almost certainly avoided all of this fuss. Your response, given without any context as to why syntax isn't important for pony, was actually harmful, rather than useful.

This I will take a nuanced position on. If your kids are playing in the backyard, and it doesn't impact me at all ... perfect please enjoy life.

But I can often hear people outside, especially children screeching and yelling, over my television with all of my doors and windows shut and the air conditioner on full blast.

In those scenarios, the laughter IS adversely affecting the ability of other people to enjoy their own property.

Csharpier is the best option available. I've been using it for 3-4 years now and had success getting it adopted at my last two companies on greenfield projects. It's not exactly an unknown tool - nearly 2k stars on Github. But a lot old school .Net companies just don't seem to have much interest in auto formatters because they've been working without them for a long time.

If you're using csharpier you don't need to use Roslynator formatters. No issue with the analyzers package. The csharpier docs have info on what StyleCop rules need to be adjusted so they can work together. Personally I don't use StyleCop anymore as it seems to be fairly dead, and I don't really feel the need for things like enforcing file layout or naming.

Edit: Also I will add that unless the landscape has changed recently, I believe csharpier is the only C# tool that has deterministic formatting good enough to enforce code formatting checks in CI.

> Subsidize training for example

This just spreads the cost across all taxpayers, instead of just the people consuming the service. Not to say that's a bad thing, just saying that it's not really "reducing the cost of regulation".

> Make the child-staff ratios and group sizes a more dynamic factor based on age and needs.

At least in my state, this is already the case. for infants, 1 adult per 6 children; increasing the ratio as they get older, up to 1 adult for 18 children when they're 4.

I don't think you're wrong that there are ways to reduce the burden of regulation, but I think we overestimate how much "low hanging fruit" there really is here. The common-sense, obvious, uncontroversial solutions are usually already in place

> all the combinations of listing page filters

A public-facing page at $DAYJOB has 44 boolean filters for a bunch of different hardware components (think screws and fasteners rather than boards and drives), meaning 2^44 different combinations ~= 17 trillion different pages to crawl (from the disrespectful AI crawler's perspective).

That said, it wasn't really an issue except we had a misconfiguration in the in-memory caching database we were using so it didn't delete old stuff from memory and started writing to disk, which meant that we ran out of our (millions of) file inodes on the production server. Just saying to point out that keeping the state in the URL wasn't the problem in this case, and it is generally not a problem; it can be a problem but, when it is, it will be obvious why.
