> They were all careful riders too, the incidents being caused by distracted / aggressive drivers.

I'm not sure how true that is, even when the cause is distracted/aggressive drivers, unless the drivers actually hunted them and collided with them on purpose. Defensive driving is a thing for motorcycle drivers too, and if you take care you'll avoid even distracted/aggressive drivers too.

With that said, it of course isn't risk free, I think in my country (Spain, lots of motorcycles in/around the cities/towns), just about 60% of those who drive motorcycles have never been in any accident ever[0], and that's including very dumb ("average") people so if you're more careful than the average driver, I'm sure you could get those odds to stack in your favor.

> I mean, people usually call those 'feature' when they're built-in.

No, that's specious reasoning. A message queue is still a message queue if you use one provided by the OS. An exception is still an exception even if it's provided as a standard component. A state machine is still a state machine regardless of how you choose to implement your concrete implementation.

Design patterns are all about the patterns followed when designing something. That's it.

Last I evaluated it WinUI3 was a terrible developer experience. The application had to be literally installed on the system to even debug it, which means you end up with a large number of useless start menu entries, not to mention registry entries and such. Another thing was that the example programs crashed when I clicked on a button.

All I want is something simple to work with to make applications for Windows, and so far I'm still using Win32 with WTL.

You can term anything whatever you want, doesn't make it true. The "Jew Exclusion Zone" term was coined by the plaintiff in this case.

A lot of the college protesters are in fact Jewish. This is a fact the pro-Israel propaganda would rather you not know about. Otherwise, how could they claim "antisemitism" whenever you criticize the actions of the foreign country.
Show HN: Zp – A terminal clipboard manager with P2P sync between devices
by bohemianjock | 2025-08-02 09:29:09+00:00
Hi HN – I've been working on zp, a clipboard manager for the terminal. You can copy file contents or command output with it, and it keeps a searchable history.

The newest update adds peer-to-peer clipboard syncing between machines. You can sync your clipboard history across your laptop, desktop, work computer, etc. No cloud services or accounts — just direct machine-to-machine sync over your local network (or SSH if needed). It runs in the background and just works.

``` # Copy a file's contents to clipboard zp notes.txt

# Pipe output to clipboard cat config.yml | zp

# View searchable clipboard history zp --logs

# Enable P2P sync zp --sync-enable zp --add-peer desktop:http://192.168.1.10:8080 zp --sync-daemon ```

> but not at all unexpected given who’s running it

To be fair, this has felt like the natural consequence of the "maximize capitalism without regarding the downsides" maxim the US seems to have been operated under for a long time. Corporations have been (indirectly) running the country for some decades at this point, it's just way more obvious and in the face now when a "businessman" sits as president.

>pro-Palestinian activists who “enforced” what it termed a “Jew Exclusion Zone,” prohibiting Jewish students and staff from passing through the camp’s makeshift barricades.

for me it looks like not just a civil case with UCLA. To me it looks like a straight criminal case of violation of federal civil rights law that FBI is supposed to prosecute. I.e. instead of collective punishment for the whole UCLA, i'd go with criminal prosecution against the specific individuals who perpetrated (i.e. those protesters who perpetrated the discrimination of Jews) as well as who materially supported (i.e. the administrators for example) those crimes.

That may be a comforting thought, but the reality is that it takes decades for these things to have an effect, and there's no guarantee that transitioning to a low trust and high corruption society will result in the removal of the autocrat.

See North Korea or Russia. People have been claiming they're on the verge of collapse for decades but the reality is that they just keep going.

The source you cite is written by a man with literally zero training in economics or econometrics. He lost his job in 911 and started a blog in the GFC that gained an audience (https://mishtalk.com/economics/uk-high-school-student-asks-m...). Good for him. You assert with absolutely no basis in fact or any supporting citation that "there is a pretty easy path to getting better results." The BLS is run by the world's experts in how to measure what they are measuring. The private payroll company ADP reports their own numbers and has never demonstrated better accuracy despite the huge profit motive they have there. If it's so easy, then why don't you just write out a detailed explanation of how this supposed bias happens and how to fix it. You can't because it's not true that there is this sort of bias or that there is an easy fix (revisions are sometimes up and sometimes down, early data is not as reliable as later data). The BLS is constantly at work developing and testing new ways of doing their job better faster and cheaper. It's a difficult job done by thoughtful people. Bloomberg had a very contentious interview today with Peter Navarro and basically called him and Trump a liar over this made up allegation of political bias and/or incompetence at the BLS ("we just don't have evidence to support those instances here at Bloomberg"). This was the biggest miss in 50 years, yes. However, that's ignoring the fact that the economy is very much larger now and looking at the miss in terms of absolute job numbers revised is dumb, and the tariff uncertainty/TACO trade/Fed bullying/debt ceiling/and big beautiful bill drama is making this a particularly difficult time for this type of forecast.

Right now it supports English, Spanish, and French, and I’m planning to add more languages. It also suggests specific keywords based on your product niche.

I’d love to get feedback from the HN community about: - where it can be improved - if the keyword suggestions make sense - or any features you’d expect from this kind of tool

The core features are free to try, and I’m happy to answer questions or go into technical details!

Thanks for reading :)
Show HN: TubeSummary – YouTube gets AI summaries in the browser
by n0vella | 2025-08-02 09:34:48+00:00
Hey HN,

I made TubeSummary, a browser extension that adds a summary and Q&A button to YouTube videos. It uses your favorite OpenAI-compatible API (OpenAI, Groq, Together, etc) so you can get quick takeaways or ask the AI about the video — right below the player.

Built it because I got tired of scrubbing through endless videos just to figure out what mattered.

It's open source, I have tested on latest Chrome and Firefox.

A quick heads up for Chrome users: since I don't have a paid Google developer account, the extension isn't on the Chrome Web Store, so you'll need to install it manually. Sorry for the extra hassle! There's a step-by-step guide in the repo if you need it.

>UCLA has an endowment of 3.8bn$

you say that like it's a lot of money? I mean sure, in comparison to the amount of money I make yes, but in comparison to value derived from research, amounts of money collected from California, amount of money given to California, and amount of money federal government spends on other things - is it a lot of money? I have a feeling it's not.

>I feel like government financing should be made available to those that actually need the money.

yeah, if they actually needed the money they would shut down the programs using the money when they stopped getting the money.

> No, naming them is not the main purpose, preserving and transmitting knowledge of what they are and what they are useful for, so that people aren't fofced to rediscover solutions to the same problems over and over again. [0] Naming is obviously important for that purpose, but isn't the main goal, but a means of supporting it.

Yes, this.

It's as if design patterns represents recurring patterns followed when designing something.

Wouldn't it be silly if architects spent their time shit-talking the silliness of referring to those holes added to walls to be covered by movable panes of glass as "windows"?

Somehow we're here seeing software developers do this sort of nonsense.

It's such a tragedy that we're deliberately destroying the very engine of our global science and tech research leadership. All for the sake of making the pro-Israeli lobby happy under the guise of protecting against "antisemitism".

The feds are forcing the universities to either protect the freedom of speech by banning peaceful protests against the genocide, or to have the universities research funding cut.

Given that so far we (U.S) have been unmatched in science and tech research, this is probably the biggest case of "self own" in recent memory.
by fxtentacle | 2025-08-02 09:40:25+00:00
3 months ago, we were all wondering why the EU proudly launched their "Choose EU for Science" campaign, despite having much lower funding levels than in the US.

If they predicted this, then their actions would make a lot of sense. It is notoriously difficult for scientists to change careers after years in research. For people cut off from US funding like this, a EU-guaranteed middle-class income will appear much more attractive than hoping for this newly unpredictable US situation to turn out well.

The "history" you cite only goes back three years. Meanwhile, the BLS publishes the monthly corrections since 1979, and the average correction since 2003 is +9k between first and third estimates [1].

Moreover, do note that all published numbers come with standard errors [2] and 90% confidence intervals, which did include the corrections of -133k and -120k that were made for May and June. The current interval for July is -63k to +209k [3]. Anybody who understood high school stats knows the meaning and implications of this.

> Just like how sages were worried about memory after the invention of writing or luddites were worried about job displacement with the industrial revolution;

This is pretty exemplary of resolution loss in verbal reasoning.

Which sages were worried about memory after the invention of writing? If you refer to Phaedrus dialogue, the passage about the invention of writing is a just a story that is used to move the conversation along. By that time writing had existed for thousands of year. The dialogue is about rhetoric and learning, not about writing itself.

Luddites are also often quoted by people with a lossy compression of history. These "King Ludd" graffiti and sabotage actions are highly correlated with labor action suppression and severe enforcement of criminal acts calling for execution of laborers involved in labor organization. It was a revolt against severe oppression, not some dumb way to try and stop progress.

> We need vastly less total primary energy to run a 90-95% efficient BEV compared to a 20-30% thermally ICE.

While true, that requires actually transitioning to BEVs, which in turn requires having enough batteries to transition to BEVs.

Doing that in the USA is (~290M vehicles, say 60kWh each, ~= 17.4TWh) more than enough to provide the entire USA with several days worth of backup storage, even if the place somehow got a continent-wide version of a Dunkelflaute that wasn't merely "20% normal output" but "actually no output".

I am hopeful this will happen, but last I checked, it was further away than the PV itself is, what with the batteries needing replacement every few thousand cycles but the PV mostly lasting 25-35 years no problem.

I did, and I do genuinely find your project (and approach) commendable! I'm sorry I didn't say that because of the focus of my comment.

I was merely responding to the kind of language you used to describe it. You call it the language of designers and engineers, but I'm sorry, that's not my language! To me, that is the language of commercial entrepreneurs and capitalists and they give me a gag reflex.

I would love for you (and everyone else) to be able to live in a world where you can pursue this kind of passion project without having to worry about “making a living”. The commercial and capitalist mindset is what's standing in your way.

To steel man the mom, I raise my own children with a “rub some dirt on it” mentality for non serious injuries, minor scrapes and such.

Depending on the degree of injury, it could really be nothing and the mother is parenting to her standards with her child.

Personally, I’ve had to routinely counsel my own mother who would rush in with the overblown “OH MY GOD ARE YOU OK?! OH NO YOU SCRAPED YOUR KNEE!” Which in turn rile up my kids and cause a bigger scene overall. Typically my interaction with my kid is “Let me see… oh that no no big deal, you’re fine, get back out there,” and they calmly accept that it’s a minor injury, no big deal, and they keep playing. No screaming fits needed.

>And raises questions around what the government should do with a bunch of seized assets and liabilities that may or may not be in a going condition, and whether some stakeholders should be reimbursed for their losses, for example employees owed pay, also do pensions count, and if so executive pensions as well,and look at that the discussion got technical and boring and nobody is listening anymore.

Bullshit they aren't listening. Executives get no payout. Whatever happened happened on their watch. Summary dismissal. Keeps the incentives aligned. Otherwise you're just incentivizing unlawful behavior behind the corporate veil. Pensions do count. Since we've got such a fucked up social safety net in the U.S. that doubles as a mandatory investment slush fund for our corporate overlords, stewardship of said retirement funds should obviously be escrowed until such time as a new more compliant set of execs can either be installed, or the assets can be unwound.

There is no point in leaving something in the hands of the provably reckless/malicious. Which is exactly what these type of people are (executives making decisions that are traceable to reasonably foreseeable loss of life) are.

I'm done with victim blaming when we've made a habit of building orphan mulching machines that we just happen to call corporations.

This. I am a manager, and frankly, getting a bit tired of people who just cast some degree of in person presence as “pure desire for control”. People require coordination (that’s partly why manager / project manager / product manager roles exist), and that coordination is orders of magnitude easier and faster in person. Sometimes just in the course of going from meeting A to meeting B, I will solve <=3 minutes stuff that would take me 2-3x the amount of time via chat or quick ad hoc meetings.

I am against full RTO 5 days a week, because for focused tasks, WFH is way more productive. But hybrid is not entirely stupid. Sure, if 100% of your work is focused work (say SWE work for instance), anything other than full WFH is a loss to you. But unless you work 100% alone with nobody else, 100% optimal for you may not be 100% optimal for the project / product / organisation. And I’ve seen first hand how conflicts brew when people can’t just go in front of a white board and hash out differences in person

Tl;dr : it’s wayyyyyyyy more nuanced than “RTO is stupid you control freak”

I agree. For decades our political and cultural leadership took actions that benefitted themselves and other beneficiaries (e.g., property owners in coastal metro areas, tech and finance workers, etc.), but life has gotten harder for the poor and the middle class. The hollowing out of middle America and the dramatic rise in costs of the three H’s (health care, higher education, and housing) has been painful for many Americans.

I thought things would look up after the 2012 election, when people were looking for meaningful change. Unfortunately a charismatic demagogue entered the scene and has taken power. Since then, we’ve been on the worst possible timeline, and I don’t see an easy way out of this mess. It’s going to take a lot of work for Americans to trust each other again and for the rest of the world to trust us.

Problem goes back to UK government, an offense to the senses that can only be described as a malignant entity whose main goal is supporting injustice, misery and evil.

The introduction to any level of this degenerated amalgam, from lowly bureaucrats to top level asshole in command is to read 1984 and then pass a test where you have to describe how to recreate such a system but make it even worse. Supplementary extracurriculars is to be close friends with rapists and pedophiles.

I don't particularly care what the cause is, physically barring students from entering an area of campus is bloody absurd.

And, for the record, I think it's willfully ignorant to pretend that Jews and non-jews are given equal amounts of leeway by all Palestine protesters. While the majority may be doing so in good faith, I've seen far too many people being viewed with suspicion for wearing Jewish traditional headware by supposedly unbiased activists to believe that anti-Semites aren't using the movement to get a free ride.
