Moreover, relying on social media visibility to decide which mistakes get corrected and which don't is a really terrible system, whether intentional or unintentional, and I really don't like supporting companies where that becomes the case. At least in part because I'm not really the type to make the fuss; I'd rather just avoid the risk in the first place.

I am curious where you get your information about Samsung being more “precise”.

I was recently looking into 2nm myself, and based on wikipedia article on 2nm, TSMC 2nm is about 50% more dense than the samsung and intel equivalent. They aren’t remotely the same thing. Samsung 2nm and Intel 18A are about as dense as TSMC 3nm, that’s been in production for years.

I always found what we regulate and don't regulate when it comes to motor vehicles interesting...

Demanding Tesla's need door handle regulation because of safety concerns lacks perspective given how relatively safe Teslas are, and that current regulation allows people to buy vehicles which go 60MPH+ on just two wheels, no airbags, and no doors at all.

It would be cool if Tesla can come up with something a bit safer if there are problems with their door handles, but ultimately I think the only regulation required would be transparency of safety data. If Tesla's are really dangerous people should know that and decide if they want to buy one anyway. Although two-wheeled motor vehicles are death traps, I don't think we should introduce regulation requiring all motor vehicles have four wheels. If people want to buy a vehicle with two-wheels, that's up to them.

I disagree that something as insignificant as a car door handle needs to be regulated to save at best a handful of lives a year – lives which probably could have been saved more effectively with other safety changes (perhaps many of which Teslas already have). Ultimately if you're in a car where your life depends on the design of a door handle, that's a problem already, and not one door handle regulation will necessarily be best suited to address.

Just let manufacturers innovate... If a car is extremely unsafe so long as consumers know that then manufacturers will have a strong incentive to improve safety in innovative ways.

There's no contradiction. I am not necessarily talking about the same people. That is the point, i.e. you need to add voters (via more population in good districts or conversion of direct beneficiaries of such immigrants) and that drives your party's immigration policy. The existing base of your party, who may have very general opinions about immigration and may not really care about the specifics, will be mobilized to agree with the policy and post-hoc rationalize it.

Hi fellow combinators!

Like many of you, I've found myself in two frustrating situations when building workflows:

Scenario 1: Starting a new workflow and thinking, "Someone must have already built this. I'd happily pay for a tested solution rather than spend days reinventing the wheel."

Scenario 2: Finishing a complex workflow after countless hours and wondering, "Could I help others (and earn something) by sharing what I've built?"

These pain points sent me searching for a dedicated marketplace for automation workflows. Surprisingly, I came up empty-handed.

So I built one.

Introducing Neura.Market – a marketplace where you can buy and sell automation workflows across multiple platforms:

n8n

Zapier

Make

Activepieces

Pipedream

What's available:

Over 13,000 free workflows templates ready to download (no sign up required)

Opportunity to monetize your own workflows

After more hours than I care to admit, I'm excited to share this with the community that inspired it :)

Would love to hear your thoughts and feedback!

Exactly--it's not English language snobbery. It's just that the median person out there is simply not capable of doing a satisfactory depth of research to reach a conclusion about most topics. This is exactly why we have experts who dedicate their lives to understanding niche and complex topics. I consider myself a smart guy, and I know I don't have the time or knowledge to sufficiently research the vast majority of topics.

Implied dedication doesn't make the land public, it simply creates a public easement allowing the public to continue using the land in the manner it was being used that created the implied dedication.

For example, if people openly hike through part of a private property for 5 years (in CA), and the owner knows this and does nothing, then after 5 years there will be a public easement for the public to continue using that part of the land as a hiking trail and the owner can no longer prevent that. OTOH, if he puts up signs on the 12th month of the 4th year, saying "Hiking permitted by owner", then no public easement is created, and the owner can subsequently close off public access at any point.

My take on this is that, from a SW development POV, user stories are not the right unit of work. Instead, I treat user stories as "Epics". Stake holders can track that Epic for progress, as the unit of work from their POV.

Internally, the team splits Epics into "Spikes" (figure out what to do) and "Tasks" (executing on the things we need to do).

- Spikes are scoped to up to 3 days and their outcome is usually a doc and either a follow-up Spike or Tasks to execute.

- Tasks must be as small and unambiguous as possible (within reason).

Since when is AI an arbiter of truth? I never said the laptop didn't exist, just that the reaction by right wingers is consistently over the top. Hunter and the Biden family were investigated for years by Congress and all he got was a tax charge and a gun form charge.

> Did you forget that Biden pardoned his entire family

No, I didn't. After all the political witch hunts and a vengeful Trump DOJ coming into power, I don't blame him.

> the same kind of approach you get from Lisp

In what way? Lisp (Common Lisp) is the most stable and unchanging language out there. If you learned it anytime after the late 80s, you still know it, and will know it until the end of time. Meanwhile, here, we hear that "a year ago" is so much time that everything changed (for the better, of course).

Or is it about needing some serious time investment to get comfortable with Lisp? Even then, once you do spend enough time that s-exprs stop being a problem, that's it; there's nothing else to be getting comfortable with, and certainly, you won't need to relearn any of that a year into the future.

I don't think AI coding and Lisp are comparable, even considering just the tone of messages on the topic (as far as I can see, "smug lisp weenies" are a thing of the ancient past).

I have kids and so a good part of maintaining and curating a library of books,CDs, movies, and TV shows is also that it helps them begin to appreciate the values and lessons contained within them. What I choose to consume and/or keep on my bookshelf is a reflection of who I am and what I've absorbed to help get me there. It's nice to be talking with them about something and then just give them a book or movie they can use to gain a deeper perspective and perhaps reinforce media literacy.

Top-trim Ioniq 5 has flush door handles for aerodynamic efficiency. Which is more than cancelled out by the stupid 20-inch wheels. Flush door handles are the pop-up headlights of this decade: questionable aerodynamic benefit, reliability issues, and let's be honest, only done to look cool.

(Granted, they're damned nice wheels. When people compliment the car in a parking lot, they usually talk about the wheels.)

It originated as a form of collective narrative control, the source of which is thus far unknown. It was based around the fact that the killer's parents live in a 'red' area and quickly followed up with photos of the killer together with his family at gun shows, the killer wearing a Halloween costume in which he was supposedly riding around on Trump's neck (which I do not see as a pro-Trump statement but that aside). This narrative control was picked up by nearly all of the big actors in the legacy media and in some form still lingers. Kimmel is (or was, that remains to be seen) part of the legacy media and just did what was required of him. The attempt at narrative control failed when clear evidence of the killer's left-leaning political stance and motivation for the assassination surfaced and ABC - still reeling from its other failed attempts at controlling the narrative, remember the edited Harris interview - clearly saw him as a liability and reacted accordingly.

> If you want to make sure the value doesn't disappear, you shouldn't be using conditional assignment in the first place.

If it worked using "materialize-on-write" semantics, why wouldn't you, as an alternative to the verbose code which checks every path component that might not exist, and instantiates it before doing the assignment?

Obviously, you can't use it if you don't have materialize-on-write semantics in the assigned expression not that you shouldn't.

Are we talking about momentarily checking if there's an important interruption and continuing with the conversation? If so, I'm confused as to why you possibly think it's unacceptable and rude.

I can see how this could be considered rude in a very formal setting, or when matters of high importance are discussed and uninterruptible focus is a must. But for most casual situations, I perceive glancing at incoming notification as normal. Assuming this happens reasonably infrequently, of course - that is, a glance in a while, not constant checking every other minute.

> This gives intel a chance at maintaining leading edge fab technologies.

I don't think so:

> The chip giant hasn’t disclosed whether it will use Intel Foundry to produce any of these products yet.

It seems pretty likely this is an x86 licensing strategy for nvidia. I doubt they're going to be manufacturing anything on intel fabs. I even wonder if this is a play to get an in with Trump by "supporting" his nationalizing intel strategy.
by nickysielicki | 2025-09-18 17:39:28+00:00
I don’t agree. OneAPI gets a lot of things right that ROCM doesn’t, simply because ROCM is a 1:1 rip of what nvidia provides (warts and historical baggage included) whereas OneAPI was thoughtfully designed and did away with all of that. Intel has a strong history in networking, much stronger than Xilinx/AMD, and really was the best hope we had for an open standard to replace nvidia’s hellscape.

A simple idea with big consequences. This article argues that if the Schrödinger wavefunction evolves at the speed of light (Rw = c), then all phenomena of special and general relativity emerge from quantum physics. The same assumption not only tackles the SR/GR+QM puzzle, it also derives the fine-structure constant (~1/137) for the first time and explains the lepton mass hierarchy—plus more here: https://medium.com/@pajuhaan/the-full-proof-of-alpha-is-out-...

Physics is a skeptical world, but independence doesn’t hide the truth; maybe the missing link tying everything together is Rw = c -- that 100-year puzzle finally solved!?

If true, the consequences are huge—what comes next could be unbelievable.

Well, as they say, each one of us have our own perception but it never felt like a mac "clone" to it. It is imho an excellent mac inspired desktop that just tries to help the user of the computer and gets out of the way. Simple, elegant and really fast. This I am telling from almost a decade ago and based on quick tests over the years or screencasts.

I sometimes used to fantasise Apple ordering their UX folks to just adopt it pixel by pixel and stick to it.

Wait what. Intel GPU+AI efforts. People had to come together to fund the abandoned Intel SW development team. Intel GPUs are great at what they do but they are no nvidia. I don't even think that was on the roamdap. Also you don't know what nvidia wants. Maybe they want to flood the low end to destroy AMD benefiting consumers. We just don't know

The problem is, what Congress can do, Congress and the Supreme Court can undo - and now you have a trove of pristine but already-surveyed land that can be exploited almost without risk.

It used to be unthinkable that the US government would outright cancel such things... with the current administration, legislation and justice system, it's not just not unthinkable but expected.

Read above now and twice on Sunday.

I love the idea of using the tube and measurements as a random number generator! However, please treat the whole category of homemade devices to measure/detect "bad shit" as novelty and nothing else. If you are actually concerned enough to really measure/detect harmful materials, buy the proper devices. Learn how to calibrate and how to use them properly. The last thing our 911 system needs are people calling with aliexpress radiation detectors going off in a cancer center.

> Are there not "Jewish only" roads and areas in the occupied West Bank

Not really, there are security measures connected to citizenship and vehicle registration, not "Jewish only" roads. Jews are not allowed in Area A, though.

> Is Israel not attacking several different countries in the region?

Not really, it responded to several attacks against it. Do you expect Israel to tolerate attacks with no response? States that gave up on trying to destroy Israel, like Egypt and Jordan, have not been attacked by Israel since.

> Do Jewish Israelis not use "From the river to the sea" as well?

"Between the sea and the Jordan there will only be Israeli sovereignty" is not nearly as problematic as "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be Arab".

> Is "the left" more, less, or equally responsible for Kirk's murder

The real question is how did Jimmy become so sure it was a maga trumper.

His quote:

> MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them

Indicates it's not just a "maybe", "wouldn't be nice if it was..." it indicates he was pretty sure. So I am curious where did that originate. The clues like the markings on the bullets kind of point the other way. So did someone deliberately feed him bad news to make him look bad? Or just an innocent social media broken telephone scenario: "wouldn't be nice if ...", becomes "I bet that ..." which turns into "it's that..." and ends up with "we definitely know that ..." and then Kimmel picks up and bam! gets fired.
by antinomicus | 2025-09-18 17:42:03+00:00
This response is unbelievably disingenuous and very likely a bot account / hasbara effort. This type of gaslighting: claiming every pro Palestine effort is a pro Hamas effort, claiming every pro Palestine protest is designed simply to harass Jewish people, painting every 20 year old who sees 20,000 dead children and is horrified, as a terrorist supporter - these lines are tired. They don’t work anymore. Your propaganda falls on deaf ears. We won’t stand for this anymore. Zionism is not Judaism. To do these atrocities in the name of Judaism and then hide behind it is the true antisemitic act.
by kazinator | 2025-09-18 17:42:15+00:00
I don't understand what you are talking about.

The syntactic sugar already exits before this change. That is to say, in a version f C# without the feature, you can write this:

a.b?.c = foo

It's not not well-formed semantically.

What the change does is allow the above to be well-formed semantically. If b isn't null, then it behaves like a.b.c = foo. Otherwise, the value of foo is discarded. (Perhaps foo isn't even evaluated?!)

The idea that there is no change in semantics, but only syntactic sugar is exactly backwards.

A particular meaning was assigned to combinations of syntactic sugar which were previously invalid.

That meaning involved making a design choice among multiple possible meanings.

Is there any public visibility to the design decision; what alternatives were considered for the semantics and rejected?

Joe Rogan was a stand up comedian in the 80s/90s, appeared on the MTV comedy show Half-Hour Comedy Hour and was performing at The Comedy Store in Hollywood. Not that I find him funny, but that in my book at least would make him someone with a professional comedy background if he spent nearly 3 decades there..

But I was refering to was the specific idea of what has been labeled the "Rogansphere" by his critics. This refers to a loose media/comedy ecosystem orbiting Joe Rogan, his podcast, Austin (comedy) clubs, and a web of frequent guests and adjacent podcasters/comedians who cross-promote each other on YouTube and podcasts. This network rose to prominence in a push to normalize "anti-woke" and right-leaning narratives under a free-speech banner. This was a pretty popular niche to serve as the term "cancel culture" gained more traction. At the time even many otherwise (american-)left-leaning people would express frustration with liberal attempts to police language etc.

This popular niche was especially present in comedy with a discourse about what and who you could joke about and since Joe Rogan played a big role into giving that topic traction I cynically called it "Joe Rogan school of comedy". I am no alone in thinking that way, comedian Marc Maron puts it better than I could in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_N4W05eyto&t=307s

> The government isn’t doing anything directly in either case. End of day the network made this choice.

The kindest read here is that you are unaware of the FCC’s comments on the matter.

Unfortunately, the government actually did do something - they put their thumb on the scale and implied severe consequences if the network did not follow through.

This is a massive difference. It is extremely chilling.

>My car maintenance costs since 2018 has been a gallon of windshield wiper fluid and new tires

Just to be clear, you keep buying stupid and poorly designed cars to save a couple hundred dollars on oil changes? Which are the ONLY maintenance item you need to do on any brand new ICE from purchase to about 100k miles?

You repeatedly purchase brand new, luxury priced, "new car premium" priced cars to save a few hundred dollars?

Uhhh.... What?

My ICE car's entire maintenance budget since I purchased it 5 years ago has been about $300 worth of oil changes, once per year, and Europeans claim that's way too often.

There's a complaint I've seen against "sea-lioning" I think that's the term? Anyway it's apparently seeming reasonable while actually being unreasonable. Or something like that.

This seems to me to be a problem very low on the list of problems. Imagine we lived in a world filled with reasonable sounding people. Some of those people were in fact un-reasonable they just acted reasonable.

Would that world be better or worse then the reality we find ourselves in?

Oh yeesh. If I ranked chat platforms, Mattermost would barely be above Slack. It's pathetic that Discord runs circles around Mattermost, Slack, and Matrix for practical usability, features that make it possible to actually use with teams (not Teams).

Mattermost still can't do follow System Theme, (and Slack requires you impersonating Chrome). Of course neither can Gmail. Salesforce and Google are such tiny companies though, so I sympathize.

It's craaazy what shit we put up with.

Which leads to multiple questions - if NVidia can't manufacture elsewhere, will the best in the industry get much more expensive? is the GPU value in CUDA or TSMC?

At best, the two companies are locked into a monopsomy/monopoly market for the next 2 years where TSMC needs NVidia to sell chips and NVidia needs TSMC to make them - in the long term, these arrangements are rarely stable. NVidia wants more manufacturing partners, and TSMC wants more GPU makers.

This isn't a failure of regulation. It's a failure of engineering culture. It's an industry fad or circle jerk, same as any other.

Blaming "but the law didn't say I couldn't do this" fails to properly ascribe blame and serves to excuse the peddlers of bad culture.

The Telsa handle and copycats are figment of stupid engineering circle jerk culture allowed to run unrestrained. These people are disposed to do all sorts of insane actuator and automation implementations to avoid having to design a simple part to withstand the force of a human operating it.

There are many ways to do a fold flush manual handle/lever and hook that up to a traditional door mechanism and/or make it automatic (the latter is a feature of every high end minivan side door in the past 20yr).

The problem isn't that there was no regulator saying no The problem is that they wanted to do the stupid at all. If there was a law forbidding this particular implementation of stupid they'd find a different one. You can't legislate them all. You have to solve the culture.

Not a comment re: AI in Chrome. I did click into the video to hopefully get an understanding of the features,. but sadly did not. Sorta got an idea, but the jump cuts, super-quick overviews, trying to identify everyone speaking, etc. E.g. ...something about tabs... ...used to take 20 minutes, now seconds... ...working with OTHER Google products (WTH)... Hey Google, make a simpler, more accessible video that is "just the facts mam". Dozens of jump cuts in a few minutes is disconcerting, and may prove dangerous to some.

The xz backdoor went undetected so long partly because the build scripts were already so hairy and baroque that no one noticed the extra obfuscations that ran code out of a binary blob in test data. None of which was even in the source repo, it was dropped into the package build scripts externally just before pushing them to the apt/rpm package repositories.

When reading a work of fiction for the first time, I'll usually DNF it if I get halfway through and haven't yet reached a point where I realize, while reading quickly, that I'll want to re-read it slowly. Lots of crud out there, especially in "genre" fiction, and life is too short to read crud when the world is full of more good stuff than a person can ever get to.
