To some degree I agree with you. This didn't come out of the blue. I think we have to look at the whole picture, which contains multitudes of those bad signs for US democracy, including that the president doesn't want to follow the law and doesn't have a good faith or even functioning understanding of how the system of government works.

Taken together, it makes it clear that we need to formulate even more clearly than before, what kind of society and country we want to live in. Not just oneliners, of course, those are now hollowed-out (see "freedom").

Neither, it seems. The blog post says "Send up to N messages per day", but the FAQ (https://cerebras-inference.help.usepylon.com/articles/346886...) says:

> How do you calculate messages per day? Actual number of messages per day depends on token usage per request. Estimates based on average requests of ~8k tokens each for a median user.

So seems there is a token limit? But they're not clear what exactly that is? Haven't tried to subscribe, just going by public information available.

It happens all of the time. Cars veering off the road and maiming pedestrians is a fairly common occurrence.

You make this statement as if it's fact. The actual reality of the matter is that neither you nor I know how research would progress were the government not stepping in and spending on our behalf. Your kind of argument is what is used to justify increasing amounts of government taxation and spending, over trusting the private sector to figure out ways of doing so, and the suggestion that government is the only way of incentivising the research you speak of is entirely lacking in imagination and faith in basic human ingenuity to solve problems.

Yes, there are coordination problems for projects at some scale, for which government involvement makes it possible, however these are far fewer than we are made to believe.

Still writing win32 stuff like it’s 1995 here. We have bits of ATL/MFC hanging out which are throughly abandoned.

I don’t trust WinUI at all.

I was surprised, when I spoke to a former colleague, to find that an internal tool I wrote 25 years ago is still being maintained. Win32 as well.

It does happen, it happened to me — a driver was distracted (because they were texting while driving) and they veered from the traffic flow and I was hit at 40 mph. The EMS worker who responded to the scene told me two things: 1. They almost never pull people alive from this kind of accident, 2. This kind of head-on, no brakes, distracted driver accident was happening more and more. This was 10 years ago.

That's my complaint. Decades ago I enjoyed NPR when I drove to work. It was always left leaning, but at least the programs discussed topics I found interesting or cared about for one reason or another.

These days the only thing they talk about are racial and sexual minorities. I can't express how little this kind of factionalism interests me. I'm not arguing that kind of content shouldn't be produced, but I don't want to pay for it.

Bigotry. They are completely open that LGBT and other minority rights offend them, and they want to punish those who support such rights. These people are far more concentrated in urban centers.

Spite politics is the ultimate form of post industrial vanity. People are so well off and have so little to worry about that their biggest ask from their leaders is to bully those who they don't like.

Though I don't agree with it, I think many conservatives feel the same way about e.g. trans rights - that it's a form of post industrial vanity.

I love Rust, but I do not like how people are rust evangelists and look down on everything else. That is not how we in the Rust community look at things.

Now, with that out of the way. Andreas has been very clear about the reasons why C++ is the chosen language. He has years of experience with it along with writing browsers.

Im paraphrasing here, but he has said that the web evolved around the era of OOP and C++ is the OOP language of that era. Including statements on how C++ fits nicely with the OOP styles of web specs.
Ask HN: Have you ever regretted open-sourcing something?
by paulwilsonn | 2025-08-02 11:37:00+00:00
Open source is usually seen as a win - for learning, visibility, and the community. But have you ever regretted it?

Maybe it became a burden to maintain, attracted the wrong users, or got used in ways you didn’t expect.

Would love to hear your experience - good or bad.

Roads take up an enormous amount of space, as does parking. We could capture significant real estate opportunities back from roads in cities that have multi-lane roads going through the CBD (mine has like a dozen criss crossing it). It wouldn't be an overnight thing, but close off a block of road, rezone it and sell it off, you'll get a bunch of new high density buildings that are walkable (since any roads going through will have to be narrow)

Its really iPhone 11 when things got crazy with deep fusion. The iPhone X actually has the most detailed screen. When i look at the same photos, somehow the X has better color and details than up iphone 14 max (i have every iphone till 14). If you look at raw image you will be blown away how little has changed since even iphone 4!

But at the end of the day its all about the photographer than the equipment. Just ask chefs. 20 students same kitchen, ingredients, recipe, 20 different tasting dish.

What really drove that in was when my art teacher took a shot of me with my camera and holy shit it was one of the best pics I've seen. He just has the eye at the end of the day.

The 525 was the color version, right?

I like the 520. It's easy because it's the last terminal DEC made, it's the fastest and it can work with ordinary PS/2 keyboards.

The downside is the design is really boring. It looks like a typical OEM VGA monitor from the 90s that you got with every cheap PC clone.

To be honest it's really hard to work with it these days because so many apps just blast xterm codes without checking anything. Tmux helps a bit but it's not perfect.

However I love the feel of it, it's mainly nostalgic but it's also great it can be dimmed so low it's hard to read in a darkened room. My PC monitor is so bright I already use it at 0% brightness during the day. And at night in the dark (I leave the lights off when I have the windows open) it's basically unusable. The 520 is great then and also good for concentrating because there's no distractions.

If you'd like me to test something let me know!

This is unfairly downvoted but strikes at the core of the matter. Democracy is fundamentally oppressive of a minority (and often majority). A vote in favour of a government to fund "basic research" (as it is generously described) is fundamentally not a vote to fund basic research, but rather a vote to expropriate wealth from a group that doesn't want it to be financed in order to finance it.

Show HN: Lifelike one shot gesture animation by Claude
by logicallee | 2025-08-02 11:38:59+00:00
Claude 4 sonnet can now produce lifelike gesture animations with stick figures, this opens up a lot of UX/UI possibilities, imagine a stick figures showing you what to tap, where to go next like "come with me", I think this shows the exciting possibilities for the future.

The complete prompt was simply "animate a stick figure with several gestures, such as thinking and movement" and this was the result in one shot.

Let me know what you think below.

Show HN: Visually explore recommended/trending sci-fi books (and other genres)
by bwb | 2025-08-02 11:39:35+00:00
Hi all, creator here :)

I launched Shepherd.com (https://shepherd.com/) on HN in 2021 and have added a ton since then! Here is the original Show HN (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26871660).

What did we add?

We just shipped a monster update for bookshelves! Try the science fiction bookshelf as an example:

https://shepherd.com/bookshelf/science-fiction

You can visually explore science-fiction books in a ton of different ways.

The most recommended of all time (or by decade): https://shepherd.com/bookshelf/science-fiction

Trending science fiction books: https://shepherd.com/bookshelf/science-fiction/trending

The most recommended new sci-fi (pub in last 3 years): https://shepherd.com/bookshelf/science-fiction/new

Filter sci-fi by subgenre, topics, and more (for example this filter shows books with AI): https://shepherd.com/bookshelf/science-fiction/book-dna?topi...

Our sci-fi book recommendation lists by authors: https://shepherd.com/bookshelf/science-fiction/book-lists

And, we've got these for 3,000+ bookshelves...

Fantasy: https://shepherd.com/bookshelf/fantasy

Books for 8-year-olds: https://shepherd.com/bookshelf/8-year-olds

You can browse for any genre, topic, or age group in the search bar, too.

Where does the data that drives this come from?

We've done mini-interviews with 12,000+ authors to get their favorite books. We also conduct an annual survey of readers/authors to find their 3 favorite reads of the year (https://shepherd.com/bboy/2024). I'm working to bring in more reader data and expand our book database using Open Library.

What do we use to build this?

Python, Django, Heroku, Postgres, Cloudflare, NLP/ML for Wikipedia topic IDs via Wikifier (https://wikifier.org), Nielsen’s book API database (publisher data + Library of Congress data), and Cloudinary.

What's next?

I'm working to launch a full app for readers that will be like Goodreads but smarter, more personalized, and focused on private notes. I've got some early mockups here and more info:

https://building.shepherd.com/roadmap/launch-our-tbr-app-to-...

>Cairo kept reading and thinking. Eventually, she found a way to construct a strange, complicated function out of waves whose frequencies all lay on a curved surface — the type of surface the conjecture required. Usually, when you add these kinds of waves together, they interfere, canceling each other out in some places and reinforcing each other elsewhere.

Rather than speaking about her age or the vague notion of talent, I'd be much more interested in why the rest of the academia was unable to replicate her methods in 40 years or so. From her own admission, it was throwing different ideas and approaches until she saw a disprecancy that ultimately disproved the theorem. There should be many people far more experienced who do have the knowledge to do this, but why did they not? This dosen't look like a intuitive jump, seems more like building a test case that fully stressed the theorem.

I tend to agree, however the government is not an unincentivized incentivizer. By being able to impose such fines, the government is potentially itself incentivized to not prevent these accidents for they potentially cause this kind of revenue.

There are ways to mitigate this, such as forcing the government to use these revenues in a way that is relevant to the issue at hand, i.e. creating safety jobs, strengthening control authorities, or something else.

You could also say that the amount is insignificant, but that could of course change with every lawsuit, and it of course accumulates. Or one could speculate that the interests are not really monetarily aligned at all (e.g. prisons), or that the judicial system is independent enough to stop propagation of these incentives. I think it is still needed to consider and try to controlledly align these motives between the relevant actors.

"Tesla designed Autopilot only for controlled-access highways yet deliberately chose not to restrict drivers from using it elsewhere, alongside Elon Musk telling the world Autopilot drove better than humans" https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c93dqpkwx4xo

This is a clear case of misleading marketing. Spreading deceptive information and then hiding contradictory details in the fine print simply won't fly.

Intent is central to legal interpretation. There's been a clear intent to mislead about Tesla Autopilot's capabilities for years, and it's finally starting to backfire. It doesn't matter if Tesla is, on average, better if individual cases are lost due to constant misleading marketing.

>The paper’s abstract asserts that race leaders get support from multiple riders to get back to the peloton. That’s just wrong.

Wrong if the leader gets dropped early on in a quiet stage, but absolutely true if they get dropped during a more difficult racing situation. I can think of numerous instances where the entire team has gone back to get the boss - it's an act of desperation, but it does happen, particularly at times when there are multiple groups on the road and the team cars aren't where you'd want them to be. It really isn't uncommon for two or three riders to go back if the boss loses a lot of time in a crash or a mechanical.

Perhaps more to the point, this general situation (needing to deliver the boss to the front in the most efficient way possible) is something that sprinter-led teams will do towards the end of practically every flat stage, in the form of a lead-out. The aerodynamics and tactics are slightly different than when recovering a dropped leader, but it's the same basic approach of using a pace line.

Having used this and other localization techniques for large indoor robot fleets over the past decade, the hard part seems to be reliability. It was relatively easy to get a sensor fusion solution to work but much harder to get it to work consistently.

Drift is one issue but the other gremlins also cause problems with repeatability: initial localization errors (wrong aisle), electromagnetic environment change (wifi strength is not static), physical environment change (if using optical or lidar).

I think this page is a nice intro to the wifi localization space and the website has an exciting tech startup vibe. But I think if you want to really capture the undivided attention of my peers: find a clear, compelling way to demonstrate that it’s robust and repeatable. For example, walk the same real-world space twice a day for a month, stitch together the tracks in a time lapse, and promise you haven’t cherry picked the results. Especially important is demonstrating this in areas with long, repetitive aisles (grocery stores, hardware stores, warehouses, etc.) That would go far! Good luck on being acquired!

"There was literally 1/5th as many people on earth in 1900 as there were today. Of course the roads were empty."

We're there 1/5 the number of roads back then? Number of people might not be the best measure of density. Number of people in a specific walkable/short horse rideable location, such as a city would.

I think the bigger thing is that trains were the main mode of distance travel on land and very few people traveled more than 50 miles from home in their life.

Clearly there exists some higher-level product concept with a mapping of country->ASIN for that product. How hard is it to lookup the correct ASIN?

Maybe you end up on the home page when there is no ASIN for your country? There should be a nicer message telling you that’s what happened. But if it always dumps to the home page, that’s just dumb — Amazon could easily do the lookup.

I partly agree that white supremacy, particularly in the form of xenophobia, played a major role in Trump’s catapult to popularity (“Mexico’s not sending their best!” in 2015) and his enduring popularity (“they’re eating the cats!” in 2024). Let’s not also forget the Religious Right, which made a bargain to elect a protégé of Hugh Hefner in exchange for Supreme Court justices who would vote the Religious Right’s way on abortion and LGBT+ issues. When it comes to social issues, Trump has largely fulfilled his promises, and he continues to “stick it” to his “enemies” whenever and however he can.

However, Trump, at least in 2016, also attracted the votes of people who were fed up with the hollowing out of middle America and who resonated with his protectionist economic policies, and he also attracted people who were swayed by his “drain the swamp” rhetoric, which resonated with people who did not want an election featuring Clinton II (Hillary Clinton) vs Bush III (Jeb Bush). It is these people who have been fooled, who have not gotten politics purged of corruption. Much of the old GOP has completely capitulated to Trump, with the rest largely driven out of politics. The “swamp” never got drained; it’s now Chernobyl levels of toxic.

In addition, the two party system has made Republicans voters too loyal to their party. They’re so afraid of the Democratic Party, that their leaders will take away people’s guns, money, and free speech, that they don’t dismiss the warnings of authoritarianism as just plain fearmongering and “Trump derangement syndrome.” Well, the authoritarianism is here today. Right now it’s being directed at “enemies” like immigrants, anti-Trump politicians, scientists, and educators, but eventually the authoritarianism will affect Trump’s base. Unfortunately a lot of innocent people are suffering, and the nearest election is the 2026 midterms, which highlights a major weakness in the American government; we have no recall mechanism, nor do we have mechanisms like parliamentary systems where snap elections can be called.
