I'm currently on a Windows 10 machine with Core i5 that's more than a decade old. The calculator takes a couple of seconds to start up - provided it's a "good" day (i.e. one when Windows isn't downloading updates or doing search indexing or malware scanning in the background.)

But I also have a Core 2 Duo-based WinXP machine in easy reach (just to keep a legacy software environment alive) and its keyboard has a dedicated calculator button. The calculator is just there the moment I press that button - it's appeared long before I can even release the button.

> Maybe we're looking at vastly different numbers

Even though the scope of the tariffs was reduced, we're still talking figures around hundreds of billions of BRL worth of immediate damage to the economy, with long term losses uncertain.

> Since we mostly export commodities, even those 36% can just be sold elsewhere.

There is no guarantee that there will be enough demand from alternative buyers to fully mitigate the long term damage.

> You can safely place the odds of the other NATO countries agreeing to their own tariffs at approximately 0%.

People told me the same thing about the Magnitsky sanctions. I realize that as of this moment it's all just threats but I won't doubt them.

> Not sure where you get this idea?

Well, from the fact Trump could order a single B2 Spirit to wipe Brasília off the map and there'd be nothing at all the entire brazilian military could do about it.

The USA can also effortlessly isolate our country via economic levers. There's no need to fire any bullets. Those levers are going to move some mountains if the supreme court keeps protecting the sanctioned judge.

> I don't see why you think there's a possibility of this escalating to war

I do think that's very unlikely. They'll probably keep leveraging their massive economy and USD hegemony against us.

I won’t disagree that the Democratic party has developed an identity crisis as well, in part to chase campaign finance. But to say that the Republican party has occupied the ideological space of pro-working class would be true only nominally. It has broad cultural appeal there in some quarters but its political economic actions are in no way focused on the real betterment of the working class. Where’s that comprehensive health finance plan which was due “in two weeks.” Several years ago.

> Which is incompatible with the export-driven strategies of the EU, China or Japan, all the main contenders for alternative reserve currencies. If you look at the behaviour of their central banks, when they receive capital inflows, they in turn buy assets elsewhere to offset the appreciation to maintain the value of their currency. But the Fed cannot and dosen't do that.

Late reply. Could you supply some source material to look into this. What "assets elsewhere"?

technology wont count as the prayers were not written out by someone with reencarnatory mojo at a monestery, and then the prayer wheel sold to help both the new owner with carma and the monk and temple survive with money,also the physical action of spinning the wheel while the one holding is praying would count as intentional, a remote powered machine may likely be a stretch, or most likely with buddists,"bit prayers", ha! would have value inversly proportional to there speed of execution, lest the ancient megga temple prayer wheels loose there "value"

> I think it’s clear that these tools are going to get more expensive.

There are several meaningful interpretations of this:

- The current models get cheaper to run at a fast pace - The next models outcompete the current models and retain cost - The VC-funded subscription we're accustomed to don't reflect actual cost - As we get more accustomed to AI, our usage may increase, increasing costs
Show HN: Cpdown: Copy to clipboard any webpage/YouTube subtitle as clean .md
by ysm0622 | 2025-08-19 08:46:37+00:00
TL;DR: I built a Chrome extension that copies webpage content or YouTube subtitles as clean, clutter-free Markdown with one click (or a shortcut). It even shows the token count, making it super handy for LLM prompts!

Hi, HN!

I often copy information from the web into my notes (Obsidian) or to feed context to LLMs for summaries/translations. So I built cpdown, a browser extension for this.

cpdown lets you convert any webpage/youtube subtitle into clean Markdown and copy it to your clipboard with a single click (or a keyboard shortcut).

Here are the key features:

* Intelligent Content Extraction: Uses Mozilla's Readability or Defuddle (by the Obsidian devs!) to strip away ads, sidebars, and other noise, focusing only on the main article content. * Clean Markdown Conversion: The extracted HTML is then neatly converted to Markdown using the Turndown library. * Token Count for LLMs: It calculates and displays the token count of the copied text using tiktoken. This is super handy for knowing if you're within limits before pasting into LLMs like ChatGPT or Claude. * YouTube Transcript Copying: On YouTube video pages, it can copy the full transcript in Markdown format, automatically adding the video title as an H1 header. * Customizable Options: You can choose your preferred content extractor (Readability/Defuddle), opt to wrap copied content in a code block, and more.

cpdown is completely free and open-source, built with WXT, React, and TypeScript.

You can grab it from the Chrome Web Store or check out the source code on GitHub. I'd love to hear your feedback, feature requests, or any suggestions!

* GitHub: https://github.com/ysm-dev/cpdown

* Chrome Web Store: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/cpdown/knnaflplggjd...

* FireFox Add-ons: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/cpdown

Thanks for checking it out!

Yes.

> In fact, according to the celebrated prime number theorem, the number of primes less than or equal to n is asymptotic to n/log n, which means the density of primes near n is asymptotic to 1/log n.

When written down as a string of digits, log n is another way to say 'proportional to the number of digits'.

The number of digits grows fairly slowly, thus also the 'probability' of a number being prime drops very slowly.

I think this is a case of trees and forest. Scifi doesn't require "a universe with internally self-consistent scientific laws." Or, if you want to hold on to that interpretation, there is no scifi. Not even the ones that uphold our current knowledge of physics, since that is known to be incomplete.

Scifi --to me, but to many others as well-- is a thought experiment in prose. Like any work of fiction, it needs to have some consistency, but certainly not total. We can "suspend our disbelief."

The story you refer to is consistent, though. It stays away from details that would break that. It can do that, because (1) realism is not the goal of the story, and (2) a practically omnipotent God is given, which allows every possible scenario.

> The proper way to parse or construct nested list comprehensions as explained in pep 202 is to think like you're using normal for:

A syntax construct that requires you to think in a different syntax construct to understand it is not a good syntax construct.

> Everything stays the same except the "use" part that goes in the front (the rule also includes the filters - if).

Yeah, you consistently have to write the end first followed by the start and then the middle, it's just in most cases there's no middle so you naturally think you only have to flip the syntax rather than having to write it middle-ended like a US date.

I am not an expert in buddhism but I think the idea of doing good karma is to get out of this cycle of life and death and to get moksh

So I mean, If we really think about it from an atheist's point of view as to what happens after death, its essentially moksh.

Also I genuinely believe that if there is some spiritiuality in this world, then it would reward us for the work that we are doing by the amount of hard work.. ie, reading the 9 million mantras per minute was being that easy, and accruing karma was so easy, then even people who are more sinful than me can go to moksh because they can offset their karma by an insane degree by doing this thing and I feel like if the universe is from where we get our intelligence and we can deduce it that its kinda wrong, then ofc the universe knows that too and it won't be of much value.

Basically if I truly see things from a more religious perspective, even then theoretically one should just live a good life as much as he can and not wonder or worry about the rules set by other religious people since they themselves had crafted their own rules and you should too.

TLDR: Just be a good person as much you can without pushing yourself to limits and then to me personally, I will much rather go into hell by not following god but following good than go into heaven by following god but not good.

I mean no offense to religious people because i mean, I can understand you guys too. Life is truly scary. Even I want the comfort of a god or karma and even I pray sometimes when I truly feel desperate but the scientific part of me can't really let go of all the inconsistencies I feel like.

> They aren’t hard to find, though, it’s (as far as we know) hard to recognize integers as being primes.

Depends on what you mean by 'hard'. It's easy in the sense that we have algorithms to decide whether a number is prime or composite that take time polynomial in the space it takes to write down your number (ie polynomial in log n).

I read an article years ago on this. It was interesting. There'a a big psychological component to holding your breath. If I remember correctly, you go through the alphabet and think of an animal that corresponds to each letter. You can also try to think of a person you know for each letter. It's to help you stay calm and focused. The fear and accompanying response will have you out of the water fast. I suspect it's also dangerous. If you start freaking out underwater you're in trouble. I tried applying it while doing Wim Hoff exercises and it helped a lot.

Again I read this in an article. I'm just some guy on the internet. Please don't try without investigating how it's actually done and about any associated dangers.

Then what, for you, is the distinction between Sci-fi and Fantasy? I think if you draw that line where most people draw it and think through what Chiang is actually doing, he's on the other side of it.

The major stories we've had that are related to Israel, Gaza, IDF, or Palestine in the recent times are:

IDF officers ordered to fire at unarmed crowds near Gaza food distribution sites - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44402896 - June 2025 (1122 comments - 13 hours on front page)

‘I witnessed war crimes’ in Gaza – former worker at GHF aid site [video] - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44714221 - July 2025 (1278 comments - 13 hours on front page)

Iran asks its people to delete WhatsApp from their devices - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44302752 - June 2025 (509 comments - 10 hours on front page)

Grok: Searching X for "From:Elonmusk (Israel or Palestine or Hamas or Gaza)" - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44527190 - July 2025 (546 comments - 10 hours on front page)

NYPD bypassed facial recognition ban to ID pro-Palestinian student protester - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44604328 - July 2025 (172 comments - 4 hours on front page)

‘No Other Land’ consultant Awdah Hathaleen killed by Israeli settler - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44731958 - July 2025 (831 comments - 7 hours on front page)

Several others have spent less time on the front page but have been visible and active for many hours via the /active page.

We want to give the topic of Israel and Gaza fair exposure, as it's obviously an important story and it would feel wrong to pretend it's not happening.

At the same time, every time we have one of these stories on the front page, it turns in to a hellish flamewar, we have to spend all day moderating it, and we still get accusations from either side of the debate that HN is being brigaded or manipulated by activists or operatives for the opposing side. So, there's never any way to make many, or any people feel like HN is covering this topic the right amount, or that the right side of the debate is being given adequate weight in the discussion. Still, we do our best to give the key developments in this awful event sufficient coverage, and to make the discussion threads as free of toxicity as possible.

Regarding the story you're appealing about in this question: it's just got too many triggering aspects to lead to a healthy discussion on HN. Also, it's a several-years-old article, and when we give exposure to major world news, the qualifying criterion is that the story contains "significant new information".

Amazon is doing exactly everything except competing on price and they don't run commodity hardware either. They're even developing their own chips. Sure they have "commodity" GPUs and CPUs in some lineups, but they also have Graviton.

If you get something this mundane wrong from the start I don't know how I could trust anything else from the post either.

These are different points.

Just like you state a variable and some operations on it early in a comprehension, you do the same in a for loop: you don't know the type of it.

As you are typing the for loop in, your IDE does not know what is coming in as a context being iterated over to auto-complete, for instance (eg. imagine iterating over tuples with "for k, v in some_pairs:" — your editor does not even know if unpacking is possible).

Basically, what I am saying is that comprehensions are similarly "bad" as for loops, except they are more powerful and allow more expression types early.

C/C++ allow even crazier stuff in the "variable's" place in a for loop. Rust allows patterns, etc.

Typing is mostly a nice addendum I mentioned, that's not the core of my point.
Ask HN: How to Get an internship for 2026?
by ash1r | 2025-08-19 08:54:16+00:00
Hi HN, I'm a second year student at a pretty "well-known" school, and I've been applying to internships for next summer. I love CS, both theory and actually building stuff from training CV models to fullstack apps, even some cloud stuff I've been doing at a seed startup. Though I'm worried over AI's impact on job prospects, it's made my life a lot easier personally. Anyways, lots of companies do not reply, not even with a rejection, even after perfect scores on the Leetcode-like OAs. Does HN have any advice on how to land an internship, especially at a slightly larger company?

Lmao, so you're telling me that you think the majority of people if asked "you can have a good chunk of your taxes back, and you'll now only pay for just your area and not for the whole country's infrastructure" wouldn't say "fuck yes I want more money back!"

If you don't believe that's true then I'm afraid you don't know human beings. Just because _you_ do, doesn't mean _everyone_ does.

Room temperature super conductors would be huge for the EV charging space. One big thing holding back EV transport trucks is charging capacity. The infrastructure to support charging a fleet of EV trucks at 1MW+ each is insane with current tech.

Even supporting a bank of 350KW chargers is pretty nuts like you see in some highway rest stops (or Tesla Supercharger stations). Locations are limited by the proximity to high voltage transmission lines right now (ie: it's really expensive to push that much current for any significant distance).

If we had cheap and ubiquitous super conductors that could be run like regular ole medium voltage electrical cables....game changer.

You cannot convince me a thousand unarmed civilians attempted a military coup. Protesters from the current ruling party have done far worse things than those people did. They've set those same buildings on fire and nobody ever jailed them for 18 years over it.

That protest was directly caused by the supreme court's profoundly destabilizing actions prior to the 2022 election. In 2019 they gave themselves powers to investigate, prosecute, judge and punish wildcard crimes against themselves encompassing the whole brazilian territory. Then they started engaging in unconstitutional political censorship targeting Bolsonaro and his supporters. I was there, I saw them do it. Any claims to the contrary are gaslighting.

So on one hand, yes, that's a vast improvement over SysV.

On the other hand, no sir, I still don't like it. It looks very much like Bash. I'm not very fond of Bash to start with and it might not even be actual Bash? Can't tell from the manpage.

But scrolling down to the bottom of the manpage I see a pretty long sample script, and that's exactly what I want to see completely gone. I don't want to look at a 3-way way merge of a service during an upgrade ever again and try and figure out what's all that jank doing. IMO if any of that shell scripting has any reason to be in a service file, it's a bug to be fixed.

My ideal is the simple systemd services: description, dependencies, one command to start, done. No jank with cleaning up temp files, or signals, or pid files (can they please die already), or any of that.

And one of the nice things about systemd services not being a script is that overrides are straightforward and there's never any diffs involved.

Yes, but the average Obsidian user may or may not know what a database is an why they should care. As an engineer I like precise language, but we should not forget that multiple audiences require multiple levels of explainations.

Otherwise it is a bit like saying "all monads are functors" when trying to make your reader care for investing time and energy into understanding the concept of monads. The problem there of course is that explaination is circular: without the reader knowing what a monad or a functor is they can't understand the explaination.

A good explaination gives you the technically correct slogan in the beginning (for the advanced readers) and then explains the words and what you can do with such a database and why you should care. Many explainations skip the last step and leave that part as an exercise to the reader.

You could use GAS, FASM2, or write an ffmpeg specific one: writting a real-life assembler is orders of magnitude simpler than writting a real-life compiler... Usually that implementation complexity is very dependent on the macro pre-precessor one.

This is a matter of exit cost: for instance look at linux bitkeeper->git exit.

Dude if you only want to use insta for dms, try bleeper. I swear, most of my school friends only use / are active on insta and I never used insta because I Hated reels / insta in general (my personal opinion, never found it appealing)

So my friend suggested me to use bleeper, I had heard of it ofc but I mean I always thought eh it would be too much of an hassle, then when my friend did it and said its easy so I actually downloaded bleeper created an insta with a password on private incognito and then just pasted the password to my phone's bleeper in insta and then gave it to friend and boom I am now in insta dms without using insta.

And its all free. and they even run on matrix protocol and are pushing to be even more self hosted (ie. currently the account gets in their server, (i think) afterwards, it would be on your local device)

Seriously man, I think I am sort of a shill of bleeper even though they don't even know who I am or I have an incentive to, but I genuinely like their product. I genuinely hope that they don't ever enshitten it man. Bleeper team if you are reading this, that's my only request, don't add power creep, keep on focusing on local as you are doing right now and just don't ever enshitten your product.

As an industry we are too bad at correctness to even begin to worry about performance. Looking at FFmpeg (who are a pretty good project that I don't want to pick on too much) I see their most recent patch release fixes 3 CVEs from 2023 plus one from this year, and that's just security vulnerabilities, never mind regular bugs. Imagine if half the effort that people put into making it fast went into making it right.
