Yeah, it's super frustrating, I'm happy I knew about it before I did my ddr5 build. And then my board has this cool feature where when I load the XMP/EXPO profile from the ram, it turns termination from Auto to Off, and won't boot... sometimes it figures it out and goes back to the JEDEC profile, but usually I have to clear the CMOS. Tons of fun! And latest BIOS does the same thing, I updated recently cause I was having weird things, which did go away but not sure if the BIOS update or new fan settings helped more.

You are the one claiming it has a “safety record”.

You are the one claiming “We're precisely less safe because of these regulatory requirements.”

Support your assertion with scientifically rigorous, statistically sound evidence.

And no, your ignorance of safety problems is not evidence of safety despite your attempts to argue as such. That was not a valid argument when the cigarette companies made it and it is not valid now.

I've taken apart two theater systems and a blu-ray player to sort this. It wasn't even THAT the LEDs were blue (though that's annoying as all hell by itself) but these were even WORSE as they were bare straw-hat LEDs stuck out of holes in the cases facing directly outward. The little things would genuinely spot your eyes if you looked at them dead on.

An afternoon soldering a red one + a resistor solved it. I genuinely can't fathom how people without electronics knowledge survive in this world. They must be just suffering constantly being unable to fix these things.

What you have stated is almost the same as call Vanguard, all those options are the same in the sense that they all involve investing, leaving it alone for a long time. Its just the vehicle thats slightly different and tax advantages.

I wouldn’t consider those options needing much motivation or research. The key with all of them is investing early and leaving it alone.

The idea seems very cool.

I didn't create an account because it's asking for my email address when using my google account. Don't want more spam.

Also, some decisions seem more politically charged than necessary, like using "Donal Trump" as an example of an "Easy" debate opponent.

Finally, I don't know the SMS-style abbreviations are much appreciated on HN (u for you is the most annoying example in your introduction). I'm not sure why it's bothering me enough to tell you about it...

For this to work they need to have some way to land large objects on the moon, for one thing. Right now that doesn't exist.

One reason you might want one for a human settlement is that the "day" on the moon is a whole month so, in most places, you have no sunlight for 14 days so you would need at least two weeks of storage to get through the night on solar energy.

The second article is marginally more on point - 24% fewer crashes for vehicles with lane keeping assist (so my guess at the meaning of the 23% stat may have been wrong). But the 95pct confidence interval is 2-42% and the study acknowledges that its efforts at controlling for confounding factors in the type of cars that have this feature are imperfect. It also took place in the US, so there's certainly no mandate for haptic feedback and I suspect very few cars had it. This is marginally more helpful evidence but not very good, I think--it seems very plausible that audible lane keeping features are helpful and moving your steering wheel (which sounds terrifying) is unhelpful.

As an anecdote, I crashed a car as a teenager thanks in part to panicking (unnecessarily) when a rough highway started moving the car's wheels (which I noticed of course via the steering wheel) without my intending it. Fortunately there were no injuries.

I don't think inferring causality here is far fetched. They were fine with the content before. And we know it because said content was banned in some countries (including Australia) to comply with local regulations, so they clearly knew what the games were about.

Given that fact we have two options: either they decided to change their approach to content moderation and remove games that previously passed all their checks, with these games being coincidentally the same that were requested by Mastercard; or they decided to remove every game requested by Mastercard regardless of Steam's own policies.

A ZMachine interpreter, this is perfect. Not V5, but you can play Tristam Island and it's FLOSS. You can even get the feelies on their repo too.

And, for this, you might be able to use the WADs from https://freedoom.github.io once they are renamed to match the ID names from files.

From a search it seems it was largely born from NYC bodega signage (which is ~every culture on the planet; my bodegas over the years have been Pakistani, Senegalese, Ghanaian, Haitian, Mexican...) but some Bollywood posters' influence (one article says he asked for it specifically, others that that's just an inspiration). So, yes.

A related personal story: During my statistics course in high school, we discovered that the TI-89 had some statistical functions that the TI-83 didn't have. So, the rule was that if we wanted to use the TI-89 ones, you had to write an application for the TI-83 one. It was a great way to really learn the algorithms.

Thanks for the question! I just checked out pg-boss. Solid library if you're fully on Postgres. Sidequest.js takes a broader and more flexible approach. Key differences:

Database agnostic: Sidequest isn't tied to Postgres. It also works with MySQL, MongoDB, and SQLite, which helps if your stack isn’t Postgres-based.

Job isolation: Jobs run in worker threads, so heavy tasks won’t block your main Node.js process. Express APIs stay responsive.

Distributed coordination: Designed to run across multiple instances. One node picks up the job, and if it fails, another can retry. This is built-in.

Built-in dashboard: Includes a web UI to inspect, retry, or cancel jobs.

More than queues: Supports cron jobs, uniqueness constraints, per-queue concurrency, and configuration. Some of this overlaps with pg-boss, but the intent behind Sidequest is to provide a complete solution for job processing.

If you just need simple queues in a Postgres-only setup, pg-boss is great. If you want more flexibility, tooling, and backend options, Sidequest may be a better fit.

> They didn't ask you to define racism

They raised the definition of racism by preemptively asserted that articles leveling “legitimate” accusations of racism wouldn’t count.

For example, here’s an article trying to tie Trump’s growing support among minorities to “multiracial whiteness” and minorities “embrac[ing] white power movements.” From where I’m standing that sure seems like calling minority supporters of Trump white supremacists.

For fraud related risk they should still be considered a common carriers but may adjust rates for certain types of transactions or businesses, if, in good faith and backed by empirical data, they can demonstrate the monetary risk to the card processor, and that the increased transaction costs are aligned with the level of risk and are not punitive or discriminatory.

The key point here is ”good faith”.

I don’t want to disadvantage their business or make them absorb fraud costs, but I want all excuses off the table.

OTOH Visa and MasterCard testified in front of Congress a couple of months ago that they have >50% profit margins which indicates to me that there is a regulatory failure in antitrust here.

Damn, I didn’t even know this was a thing. I used to do many interviews to new candidates for data science positions, both technical and team fit, and always tried to make the conversation warm and interesting. After all what I am mostly after is to know if I would like to work together with that person… Just having them talk with an AI sounds terribly impersonal, and many just forget that you are as much trying to convince them to join you as them trying to convince you that they are a good candidate…

This entirely tracks to me but hints at a different problem. I suspect if this really does reduce traffic incidents and fatalities in general, it's because a large number of people are driving while tired and drift into adjacent lanes without realizing it and the lane-assist jerks them awake. Problem being this is a blunt force instrument that annoys or even endangers drivers who are not impaired and know what they're doing.

Thankfully, every car I've ever driven that has this feature allows it to be turned off and I have it turned off on my own car, which I drive for maybe ten miles a month in the middle of a Saturday when I'm wide awake.
by cnst | 2025-08-04 22:07:43+00:00
I mean, to get a driver's licence, you also have to go through an extensive training and pass a test, including a test on the type of car you drive.

If you're involved in a crash, you're also held legally responsible.

The nagging if you're not paying attention during Autopilot or FSD, came a long way from 2019, too.

Why aren't the cruise-control vendors fined with quarter-billion dollar fines for anyone who mistook the marketing of the feature as controlling the cruise, e.g., because the name was misleading?

Cruise control, it means, I just press the button, and relax, right? That's what the sales person told me! Why did the car veer off the highway? Why are they calling it cruise control when it doesn't control the cruise? There should have been a different name for this super-misleading feature!

Friendships come and go over the years is something I have learned in my life. We dont always have the same value systems and because of that, its natural to drift apart and not talk as frequently as we used to

This is something I am learning as a late bloomer in life, as I didnt have too many friends more so business acquaintances growing up

The hardest lessons I hace learned though is during major life transitions - sometimes you are off on your own, you have to manage that transition yourself and cannot rely on anyone in particular through it

Friendships require work but sometimes they arent on equal terms either, and when things shift away that created that strong bond to begin with, people drift apart. Thats something that is hard to cope with, that sense of loss in wanting that nostaglic connection again

I used to think social media algorithms created a distorted view of public opinion on the Internet.

Now I know that even without engagement-maximizing algorithms or anonymity, most content on the Internet is still from self-selecting outliers. You don't walk down the street and listen to whoever shouts at you the loudest to gauge public opinion, so why care about Internet commenters (including me or you) when statistically normal people are "lurkers" who read and move on?

> Why do we all (and I include myself) so easily and often forget this simple truth, and fall into the trap of believing the world population consists mostly of the ignorant and malicious people that haunt public comment sections?

Because we've had millions of years to evolve our social instincts, and not even a single generation to adapt to the current state of public comment sections? In real life, where there aren't the same sampling biases, it makes perfect sense to believe the perspectives that are repeated by peers (as honest indicators of public opinion, if not at face value).

Also because there are major profit incentives for social media companies to make people think they're important fora for public discourse.

I think for-profit social media should probably be viewed as adversarial attackers. Their incentives are not aligned with what we need for healthy relationships and discussions. But even if you remove the profit incentive, it's still a new environment that we lack natural immunity to.

you are right that a traditional fuzzer (especially a grey-box one like AFL or a white-box one) is superior in speed, cost per execution, and comprehensiveness.

The argument for using an LLM to generate a curated set of fuzz inputs isn't to replace traditional fuzzers, but to complement them by targeting a different class of bugs that traditional fuzzers are often poor at finding.

The goal of this tool is two fold.

1. give LLMs the ability to make use of traditional software testing tools

2. enhance some of the shortcomings in traditional software testing tools by selectively using LLMs (specifically their ability to understand the larger context the code is written in)

On the scheduling end, I'm surprised the article didn't mention https://github.com/fasiha/ebisu which uses Bayesian statistics.

When I was studying Japanese, I was thinking how it's always best to learn words in sentences and that it would be good if the sentences for a particular word were random.

Extending that, the sentences could be picked such that the other words are words scheduled for today meaning much more bang for buck per learning hour.

People who aren’t trespassers or violating any law are punished and deported without a chance to make their case. You’re assuming that all people ICE sends to concentration camps deserve to be there? But these determinations have been made without fair hearings where people have a chance to formulate a defense. Due process is not afforded these people. Treating people this way is unjust.

Strange to read this article and find no mention of Julia (but APL, Mojo, MLIR BQN etc.. which are not exactly widely used languages). It checks many of the boxes

User-Extensible Rank Polymorphism is just beautiful with the broadcast dot syntax. I don't think any other language has this clean and flexible implementation.

Others -- GPU programing, parallelism, etc. are pretty good with Julia. Real shame it hasn't taken off.

I'm building a SRS language learning app [1] so I've thought about this topic a bit, but I've come to a conclusion that srs algorithms might be just a nerd optimization obsession. My app has "stupid" 1,3,7,15,30 or something like that intervals, and the reality is that if I know a card, I can swipe it within 2 seconds, and if I just barely know it, I can spend 30 seconds on it.

So optimizing the algorithm such that every card comes at the exact right moment might cause all cards to feel too hard or too easy. I think having a mix of difficult and easy cards is actually a feature, not a bug.

Perhaps, but what you said is unfalsifiable and/or unknowable.

Ideologies are not invented unless you're a caveman. We all got to know the world by listening to others.

The subject of discussion is if and when external forces can alter those ideologies at will. And I have not seen any evidence to support the feasibility of that at scale.

This post feels written by AI, but something caught my attention.

> But they made one technical choice that would haunt them forever.

> They built it on Solaris. Developers wanted Linux.

Recently I’ve seen how TrueNAS Core(FreeBSD-based) is being replaced by TrueNAS Scale(Linux-based)[0] and they ended up with an unarguably better product.

Meanwhile Oxide picked Solaris over Linux[1].

I vaguely remember what it was like to work with Joyner Public Cloud, but it was all an abstraction over APIs just like the Oxide rack, but in terms of GTM speed, it seems like Joyent lost some momentum trying to replicate what AWS found in Linux coming from Xen.

Oxide knows what they’re doing and they have some smart folks over there, however, I still consider a bold move not to pick Linux these days.

Musk joined Tesla with the Series B round in 2005. Doesn't seem that way, but it's been 20 years.

He first started talking publicly about "Autopilot" or "Full Self Driving" in 2013, so 1.2 would be referred to as plural decades. (I didn't have the exact number on hand, but knew it was 1+, and used the proper form; you prompted me to lookup the proper number)

> I don't think I understand this example. There's only so many keybindings and clashes aren't uncommon.

That's precisely my point! Many terminals these days try to do too much and by default end up capturing keybindings that I want to use for something else. The terminal should allow me to do that something else, not get in the way. A simple terminal wouldn't get in my way and I could insert tmux in the more complex scenarios (even for local sessions). I know I can reconfigure most terminals, but not everything is configurable, plus everyone knows the best tools are the ones that don't require to be reconfigured to be great. :)

Thankfully my main editor is Helix and by default it doesn't clash with anything because it's a modal editor where commands are regular keystrokes and not key combinations.

3) The ICMP rejects may help, that I did not test.

1) I run services which give you different permissions depending on wheter you are local. Think a fileshare which is RW internally and RO externally. Yes, you could - and often should - do it differently, but IPv6 limitations should not be the reason that force you.

4) If a device does not work when connected to my network, but works on other, than this is my problem. Good luck explaining that it's a device bug to anyone. If they even understand it, they are not gonna care.

This specific case is only a practical issue, when you have multiple networks interconnected, because the "correct" local prefix is always closer than the erroneously cached one. Besides, with a public-addr-only* network, this is not an issue.

5) Yes, it is stupid, but nobody is going to blame apple for the issues it causes to other devices. It's a problem with the network!

I have no idea about the RA preference, i filter them away on the switchport. I may check sometime.

> As for the advertisement contents:

That is a misunderstanding. I meant to keep the network configuration simple in general, (like no ULAs, no splitbrain DNS, ...) not specifically the RA contents.

But now that you mention it: Android still does not support DHCPv6, so the "Other configuration" flag is a funny one. I also put the PREF64 address in the RA for the NAT64, because apple devices require it. Android uses the ipv4only.arpa dns lookup instead. Isn't it lovely how consistently they behave?

> As for DNS:

Well, we completely disagree on this for multiple reasons: - DNS over HTTPS and users connecting to other "privacy nameservers" or "adblocking nameservers" will not be solved by the low TTL - Also 60 seconds is not an acceptable time for outage when nothing is phyisically broken - That 60 seconds is often 300, because I have seen way to many recursors just extend TTL to a minimum of 5min. Again absolutely their fault and my problem.

[1] Just give them a "static lease" at the DHCP(v4) and it's never an issue again. Also, you should use DHCP-snooping (just like RA filtering) in switches all the time ;-)

*yes, there are still link-local addrs, but those are not used for any practical stuff, so it does not matter much.
by kjkjadksj | 2025-08-04 22:12:58+00:00
Well they will ask you to "formally" consider applications from the general public. How this often works is you already chose your ideal candidate before the job ad lands, you have their resume in front of you, you tailor the job ad perfectly to fit this resume. And then you put out the job ad for the obligatory 2 week period while you informally onboard them. Maybe you even let them crank overtime for the first month to "pay" for those first two weeks when they weren't enrolled in payroll.

Seen it play out at a company with over 40k employees so I figure its common everywhere to operate like this with these legal fig leafs.

> Kind of similar to the paradox of creating and using cheat sheets, is highly likely you're accidentally learning about the subject matter in the process of writing the sheet, sometimes up to a point where the cheat sheet is not necessary anymore.

The problem is (example from mathematics): even if you are capable of deriving some formula (you thus understood the topic well), it takes a lot of time in the exam. Looking at the cheat sheet is much faster - in particular when the time is somewhat precious in the exam.
