Objective-S builds in these directions, starting with the linguistic foundations. Note: author speaking.

Those linguistic foundations take the form of a CLOS-like metaobject protocol, but organized not on OO lines, but rather on software-architectural lines, so including OO as a subset.

On top of the metaobject protocol sits a roughly Smalltalk-ish language, with extensions for dataflow ("!", "?", so CSP-inspired, but not CSP-based, fewer processes) in-process-REST like data access and identifiers (URIs in the language) and last not least component connection (→).

With that, you have a good basis for diverse environments that blend the Smalltalk and Unix/Plan 9 styles.

TL;DR author discovers there is little overlap between EE and CS.

Hardware and software are called different things for a reason? I do agree that tinkering with the hardware always needs to be in-step with the lesson at hand. You can't just state KVL/KCL and move-on, you need to have the student build a circuit and play with it for a day or two.

We are talking about an extremely powerful corporation in an antitrust case not a person. It does not need to be defended in this way, which is a level of protection rarely afforded to individuals.

There is a definite public interest in understanding how Google conducts itself given the reach and impact it has.

There is no way for the public to have confidence in the trial process if it is conducted in secret, and given the outcome every reason to question the process.

I'm surprised anybody objective would defend this.

I would say coming from my cell phone at least, I would describe my usage as far more intentional than it was on my phone. I used to wake up and immediately start scrolling on <application of choice at the time, recently bluesky>. Since I've relegated my phone to the sock drawer, I actually find myself waking up and getting out of bed, starting my day, and then going on my tablet.

Honestly, a large percentage of my time on my tablet is using bluesky and youtube, but as I said, it feels much more intentional than on my phone. I don't get sucked into rabbit holes. I check on my friends, check out my subscriptions, and then move on (to be fair on the youtube side, I also use newpipe to block all recommendations, comments, etc so it's much easier for me to avoid the rabbit holes because of that too).

Another very large portion of my usage is in handwriting notes, and medium to long form reading. I don't find myself annotating PDFs, but that is not really a workflow I have sought after.

If you are really worried about using youtube and other vices, the DC-1 may not be for you. Other e-paper devices (particularly E-Ink TM devices) are going to struggle a lot more with youtube than the DC-1 does. Youtube in here is not as overstimulating and addictive, but it is still very much available and usable.

Ah, Airguns. That makes sense. If you have any more of those pellets, it might be worth taking a pair of cutters to one and seeing what is inside. Maybe copper washed zinc, which would be funny?

Airguns have such a wide range of wildly different criteria, it’s hard to generalize. Ballistic performance (by any definition or subdivision) is pretty much never a primary concern however though?

At least compared to regulations/compliance, cost, entertainment value, safety (aka anti ballistic effectiveness haha), etc.

Airsoft being a prime example. But even the ‘diving cyclinder powered’ Airguns, which can be quite effective by some measures, are still ~ an order of magnitude less pressure than a 45ACP, which is about as low pressure as a firearm cartridge can get? (And one of the first smokeless cartridges still in wide use - well over 100 years old now)

Most airguns are going to struggle to be usefully accurate or powerful at 100 yards (or even make it at all that far), and that’s kind of the minimum range for any rifle. Most rifles with practice can reliably hit targets at 800 yards, and can be lethal out to 2000-3000 yards.

Most handgun users will struggle past 15 yards, but it is rarely the gun. With practice and a competent shooter, almost any handgun can reliably hit ‘gongs’ at 100 yards, and are quite lethal out to at least 800 yards.

Just want to point out that your 50 req/sec cached means nothing in case of dealing with scrapers. What is the entire topic ...

he issue is that scrapers hit so many pages, that you can never cache everything.

If you website is a 5 page blog, that has no build up archive of past posts, sure... Scrapers are not going to hurt because they keep hitting the cached pages and resetting the invalidation.

But for everybody else, getting hit on uncached pages, results in heavy DB loads, and kills your performance.

Scrapers do not care about your top (cached) pages, especially aggressive ones that just rescrape non-stop.

> It doesnt, unless your site has a lot of post/product/whatever entries in the db

Exactly what is being hit by scrapers...

> White House is on Wordpress. NASA is on Wordpress. Techcrunch, CNN, Reuters and a lot more.

Again not the point. They can throw resources onto the problem, and cache tons of data with 512GB/1TB wordpress/DB servers. By that, turns WP into a mostly static site.

Its everybody else that feels the burn (see article, see the previous poster and other).

Do you understand the issue now? WP is not equipped to deal with this type of traffic as its not normal human traffic. WP is not designed to handle this, it barely handles normal traffic without throwing a lot of resources on it.

There is a reason why the reddit/Slashdot effect exists. Just a few 1000 people going to a blog tend to make a lot of WP websites unresponsive. And that is with the ability to cache those pages!

Now imagine somebody like me, that lets a scraper lose on your WP website. I can scrap 10.000 pages / sec on a 4 bucks VPS. But each page that i hit that is not in your cache, will make your DB scream even more, because of how WP works. So what are you going to do with your 50 req/s cached, when my next 9.950 req/s hit all your non-cached pages?! You get the point?

And fyi: 10.000r/s on your cached pages will make your wp install also unresponsive. The scraper resource usage vs WP is a fight nobody wins.

I have faith the courts will interpret the law as written, because that's what they almost always have done so far, and the way they've previously interpreted it. And the law as written says don't be antisemitic. And the law as previously interpreted is that saying anything bad about Israel is antisemitism.

Quoting antisemitic publications for the purpose of agreeing with them is also antisemitism, not sure why you'd think it wouldn't be.

Here's an attempt at that: The GPU is responsible for blending layers of the interface together. Liquid glass adds a distortion effect on top of the effects currently used, so that when the GPU combines layers, it takes values from (x + n, y + m) rather than just (x, y). Energy efficiency depends on how much data is read and written, but a distortion only changes _which_ values are read, not how many.

When I was an intern in a small town, I took a trip to London. On my way back, I caught a cab from the provincial station to my house.

The cabbie seemed fun. We were talking about football. Just ordinary banter with a cab driver. Out of the blue, he asks me "hey mate, just for fun, what would you do if you'd murdered someone and had a dead body to dispose of?"

I was a bit surprised, but it's not that odd a thing to think about. People watch crime flicks all the time. But I hadn't thought much about it and gave a bland answer like "maybe dig a hole in the roadside, something like that". But I did think it was an odd switch in mood. He drops me off, end of that.

A few years later, I've graduated, I'm watching the news. A cab driver has been convicted of murdering multiple women, in the town I was in. Over the same period. He's buried the bodies in various places. I happened to run into a detective from the same town, to whom I explained my anecdote. He's pretty sure it's the same guy, but the cabbie has been sent down for life, so I wouldn't really be adding anything if I reported it.

>When you actually and honestly communicate with people different than you, and are able yo understand them, you stop feeling that simplistic hate for them.

I find it to be exactly the opposite. It's much easier to believe someone is inherently good but just a bit misguided if you don't have to communicate with them and aren't personally affected by their "misguided" behavior.

About those rules. Any high-profile court case is by definition crime/politics, and all over TV news. Have you recently mentioned the name of any famous person(s) in your comments, offering opinions and critiques perhaps? But that's another way of saying "celebrities". So I'd say you're unambiguously failing on 4 of these criteria. In terms of forming teams and bitching about the refs decisions, not much difference between court-cases and sports either, neither are big on inspiring curiosity. But hey.. rules are for other people right boss?

And stop telling people to "look". You look. Because listen, I know that phrases like this one are well-loved by a certain type of person. Shows who's the adult in the room, and also frightens subordinates into silence, right? But understand me now when I say that it's much too transparent when used too often. Realize that there are other adults in the room, and when you toss out too many imperatives too fast then it's easy to see how much you want to control people as well as the topics under discussion.

I have been using Active Look Engo 2 sunglasses and found them surprisingly useful for cycling. Having my power reading and heart rate right in my field of vision without having to glance down is nice. The bike computer is still there for more complex visuals like maps and navigation. Bonus points for the Engos just looking like regular sunglasses unless you carefully inspect them.

I've used and enjoyed Form goggles for swimming, but their subscription model is not to my liking.

I experience this basically any time I upgrade my phone OS. There's never anything new that makes me happy, it's always either they removed something I used, made something uglier, and always it's 2-3x slower than it used to be.

Same thing with Windows. If they just stopped touching it 20 years ago, it would be 50x more responsive now.

I'd be interested to see more discussion on Section 174, how engineer salaries suddenly triggered a higher tax bill in 2022. https://qz.com/tech-layoffs-tax-code-trump-section-174-micro...

Did Section 174 changes accelerate tech job losses? It's unclear from the paper because they only look at the data excluding tech firms, not only tech firms.

I want to see cause-and-effect: the cause being tax changes, the effect being tech firm layoffs, but they don't analyze the effect.

I recently upgraded a large portion of my pipeline from gpt-4.1-mini to gpt-5-mini. The performance was horrible - after some research I decided to move everything to mistral-medium-0525.

Same price, but dramatically better results, way more reliable, and 10x faster. The only downside is when it does fail, it seems to fail much harder. Where gpt-5-mini would disregard the formatting in the prompt 70% of the time, mistral-medium follows it 99% of the time, but the other 1% of the time inserts random characters (for whatever reason, normally backticks... which then causes it's own formatting issues).

Still, very happy with Mistral so far!

So? You can say the same about every muslim country. So let's boycott them. Iran is doing that. Turkey is doing that. Morocco is doing that. Iraq is doing that. Azerbejan is doing that. And so on.

So clearly we should boycott just all muslims, since your claim is that that justifies boycotting civilians from those countries.

The whole of "islam" was not a religion until at least 1930, but an empire, which is another name for an organization that ONLY occupies other countries and populations and mass murders and exploits them. The hadith state that all of islam, country and people are the personal property of the caliph (who is allowed to, for example, kill anyone, muslim, dhimmi or slave, for any reason, making islam even more inhumane than the Romans were. This explains what current muslims pretend not to comprehend: that their grandparents were overwhelmingly very happy to see islam, the empire, end). Muslim empires have always done this exploiting through slavery, until at least 1970. There are regular accusations to middle eastern muslims that they still do so. So this is not exactly a surprise. So that's a further justification to boycott all muslims, no?

In fact Israel is an example of a region and a local population that WAS occupied by the Ottoman empire and fought itself free. In that view the conflict is entirely the reverse of what you claim it is.

But you're a racist, so none of this matters. What I'm misunderstanding is that arguments can only be used against Jews, and how much the same arguments apply to anyone else doesn't matter.

I don't know why you would say that about Go, you're never more than one programming error away from creating a RCE vulnerability, no matter the language. Linked RCE should demonstrate that quite clearly, don't you think?

Either way my point is that software contains vulnerabilities, especially software that hasn't been hardened to be exposed to the public internet. Exposing it to the public internet anyway is a display of bad judgement, doubly so when the person responsible seems to believe that the worst thing that can happen is someone using the software as intended. Details of specific vulnerabilities are really beside the point here.

Assuming that the happy path is the worst that can happen is simply naive, there's no two ways about it.
Show HN: Neural Siege – a text-based experiment in resisting rogue AI persuasion
by kadzaki | 2025-09-04 11:36:30+00:00
I’ve been building an iOS app experiment called Neural Siege, a text-based system that imagines a future where rogue AI factions dominate the world, and humans fight back through dialogue rather than weapons.

Players face AI “bosses” that use different persuasion tactics—sarcasm, logic traps, meme-driven manipulation, psychological pressure—and must outwit them in conversation. Victories and losses affect a shared “war map” that tracks the state of the Resistance.

My goals are twofold:

Explore whether interactive simulations can make people more aware of how persuasive AI can be.

See if these kinds of systems could have value beyond entertainment, as a way to study human–AI dynamics.

I’d love feedback from this community:

- Could this type of experiment be useful in AI safety or human resilience research?

- Or is it better to treat it purely as a dystopian narrative for entertainment?

> first and foremost informs

I'd claim any extent to which ads inform the viewer is downstream of the ultimate goal of having people spend money on the product. The company behind the ad does not inherently care about you being informed, just that informing people (in very selective ways) sometimes happens to be an effective way to increase sales. Where it better serves their purpose to misinform, that's what they do (which legislation can help curb).

> Remember the time you learned of a particular programming library that does the thing that you wanted to do?

Typically by searching a package index, opposed to someone being paid to shove a product in my face unsolicited while I'm trying to look at something else.

I don't think it really helps defend meaningfulness of the job in question ("techy, working on serving ads") to expand the scope to considering other things (writing package documentation, reviewing tourist destinations, ...) and then point to the fact that some of those other things, which the employee in question doesn't do, are useful.

> Why do you drink (coke / pepsi / fav. brand of tea / fav. brand of coffee)? What formed your opinion was some kind of marketing, either directly, or indirectly.

Being persauded to buy one sugary drink over another (or over water) doesn't really seem to be a constructive outcome, especially for all the time and resources wasted. Actual information incidentally gained from Coke ads is little to none - you'd be far better with an independent review/comparison.

Just an observation, not a mean critique about the project or even the conclusions.

There's 180 participants.

There's 26 people marked at "very liberal", which is 14% of the sample.

There's 39 people marked at "very conservative", which is 21% of the sample.

-----

Then we have 31 people marked as liberal, which is 17% of the sample.

And we have 63 people marked as conservative, which is 35% of the sample.

That already I would say is kind of an issue: more than a third of the sample are conservative people and 17% are their liberal 'counter part' or 'equivalent' (sorry for my wording, I'm not native speaker).

---

If we do a little additions we therefore have:

39+63 = 102, which means that 56% of the sample is conservative

31+26= 57, which means that 31% of the sample is liberal

The rest of the sample are centrists or "neutrals" (whatever this means)

---

I am NOT saying that the study is invalid I am not saying that it's poorly done

However, I think it's fair to say that the sample is skewed towards people with conservative views, by a HUGE amount, not just "a little bit".

---

Aside from this: amazing UI design, I'm jealous and admirative of the results ^^

Put a carbon tax on fuel in a western country and you end up with an unhappy population who pay more money in tax. Personally I'd distribute the revenue as a UBI which would mean the most polluting would be worse off but the average person would be better off.

The people who would mostly benefit from reduction in emissions - especially in the short term - are those in other countries. It's not going to be Finland suffering the most from doubling of the cost of food from failed harvests, it's going to be massive failures in rice harvests in south east asia. Finns will always be able to outcompete the average Cambodian when buying food.

One of the costs of emissions to western countries - say Spain - is increased bad weather - more frequent storms, fires etc. All fairly small stuff compared with mass starvation or water shortages though. That starvation leads to another problem -- increased migration pressure.

But those costs are going to be borne anyway. Even if Spain stopped emitting CO2, it wouldn't make an ounce of difference. International agreements have failed time after time to curb emissions.

The main benefit of renewable energy for a given country isn't the reduction in emissions, it's the increase in energy independence - no need to import gas or oil from unstable countries.

For me, it's a bit of the reverse. I initially wanted to go into CS, but had to start with 2 years of generic fundamentals closer to your regular EE curriculum. Ended up majoring in finance. Have been able to catch up quite nicely on my own on the CS knowledge since it's just software. But I miss the EE parts. I can't build the remotest smallest device with my hands. After high school I thought I would go onto studying supraconductors and stuff.. Go figure, I got lost along the way, smh.

The article says "M4 isn't using much CPU so let's add fancy effects."

There's some truth to that, in the sense of "the hardware can handle it now" (but he also mentions Vista, which came out like 20 years ago...)

If it's actually resource intensive, then the logic would probably be "let's make all last-gen devices a bit slower to encourage people to upgrade..."

At least, that's been my experience when upgrading iOS. It's basically the same thing except mysteriously way slower. (I wonder if the CPU throttling thing was part of the iOS upgrade that made my phone slow to a crawl a few years ago.)

> You're told that at least one of them is a girl.

> Likelihood of at least one girl

What the “mechanism” requires is “likelihood of being told that at least one of them is a girl”.

Use Bayes rule to correctly solve probability riddles:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45056790

p(both are girls | you're told at least one is a girl) = p(you're told at least one is a girl | both are girls) * p(both are girls) / ( p(you're told at least one is a girl | both are girls) * p(both are girls) + p(you're told at least one is a girl | they aren't both girls) * p(they aren't both girls) )

The solution there assumes that p(you're told at least one is a girl | both are girls) = p(you're told at least one is a girl | they aren't both girls).

My arguments is not what you're making it up to be, at all. It's:

1. DEI is made into a major talking point by right wing propagandists.

2. DEI suddenly becomes a core issues for right wing voters.

Conservative politicians didn't adjust their messaging to address what matters to the voters, they made up an issue to galvanize hate against minorities and turn it into political goodwill. It's like the Jews under nazi Germany (but far, far less extreme). DEI/Jews aren't actually making that much of a difference in society, they're just a convenient scapegoat to point to and command hate from the masses.

As for your note: yes, the democrats are severly lacking in the populism area. But don't mistake Trump's populism for any actual interest in voters' issues. After all, only a fool would think MAGA stands for equality and against discrimination.

While this may be a nice side-effect of that direction, I am quite sure that Apple was not even considering such 3rd party impacts when they decided.

Looking back at the announcement, it's more likely that the Management had to decide on the key message for the unveiling prior to the event, and there wasn't much "media-disruptive" to choose from.

So Liquid Glass got elevated to top priority and then all teams got the order to ensure it is present in as many apps as possible.
