> And charging stations are run by multiple vendors with multiple apps and payment methods. It's not like gas stations, like with Shell, BP, Buckee's, etc. where you just drive up, stick the gas nozzle in your tank, and squeeze.

The "how to juice your car" question is pretty much solved on the electrical and communications side... but the "how do you pay for the juice" question is indeed absurd. I understand that providers of high capacity charging stations wish to charge a bit extra because a single 200 kW+ DC charger quickly reaches 40k € in pure hardware cost, in addition to the installation cost and the regular swapping of cables due to thieves. But why the EU and the US governments haven't stepped in yet and mandated either a "roaming" standard (where my primary billing contact would be a regular electric utility with a set base price per kWh and optional surcharges for high-capacity chargers or stations in high demand) or acceptance of all common credit and debit cards is way beyond me.

Instead, it's not just multiple vendors, apps and payment methods - it's also a (sometimes wild) difference in price depending on how you pay, at the same station. In contrast, at each gas station there is a sign that's visible from afar stating the exact price for your fuel, with the only thing one might hope for is a 1 cent discount for high volume diesel fuel pumps (aka, your truck's hole is big enough to fit a truck diesel nozzle) and a further 1 cent discount from some sort of loyalty reward scheme.

Nice, we did the same recently.

The choice was

2016 100k km Golf Plus for 16k eur 2020 50k km e-Golf for 13k eur

I'm so glad we picked the e-golf! It's so fast and nice to drive and cheap to run. Only downside is the limited range (200km on a summer day) but even my commute (100km one-way) is OK as I can charge at work and home.

That said, we still have a Touran for when we need to drive further or with lots of luggage.

If only the chairs in the eGolf were a bit better...

I think you’re willfully ignorant if you’re going to claim that Slack and Kubernetes haven’t created any value. And of course these are just random examples that I happened to think of.

I would say that these technologies/products being so wildly popular puts burden of proof on you to show me some kind of evidence that these technologies aren’t productive. Like are you trying to say that something had better deployment velocity and reliablity than Kubernetes at handling high-complexity application infrastructure deployments for large enterprise companies? What was it? Why was it better than Kubernetes?

The analogy is that you’re basically saying that zippers aren’t really better than buttons but then literally everyone is overwhelmingly wearing pants and coats with zippers and very strongly prefer zippers. So really it’s on you to prove to me that I should be using pants with buttons instead.

Finally, there’s a lot of irony in your first paragraph complaining about a few tech oligarchs becoming fabulously wealthy and then suggesting that Grandma just use Facebook instead of building her own site. In any event, my web app example was just a poorly thought out example of a web app, I really just mean a website that has a little more utility than a static site.

> I think you’ll get banned a few millions in.

So? I'll still have those few millions.[1]

Besides, how will they know? Creating a new proxy account for every real account would make it almost impossible for Anthropic to know that someone is coming from China, only that some set of accounts (say, 100k) are coming in from a small set of IPs, but they're still paid accounts!

================

[1] The idea is probably DoA for other reasons, such as why would someone proxy through you when they can use a VPN. Or openrouter.

Link11 | QA Engineer | Remote (EU time zone) | Full-time | https://www.link11.com

As one of our QA Engineers, you'll be the guardian of product excellence - thinking like a hacker, testing like a detective, and ensuring our complex systems work flawlessly in the wild. You'll go beyond finding bugs to anticipating the unexpected: edge cases, weird component interactions, and those "no user would ever do this... but what if?" scenarios that separate good products from great ones.

What You'll Own:

* Design battle-tested strategies that catch issues before customers do

* Build automated test suites that scale with our ambitions

* Hunt down bugs across complex component interactions and configurations

* Partner with dev teams to ship quality at speed

* Be the voice of risk assessment when it matters most

You Should Have:

* Critical thinking that connects dots others miss

* Deep web tech knowledge (HTTP/HTTPS, DNS, SSL/TLS, CDN)

* Automation chops (Python, JavaScript, Bash)

* Experience with test methodologies and writing bulletproof test cases

* Debugging skills that turn logs into insights

* Communication skills that turn complex issues into clear actions

Why Join?

You'll be testing cybersecurity products that defend critical infrastructure against DDoS attacks – a single bug could mean the difference between stopping an attack in <10 seconds or watching a bank, power grid, or hospital go offline. This isn't just QA – it's cyber defense at the highest level.

If breaking unbreakable systems and ensuring bulletproof security for critical infrastructure sounds like your kind of challenge, come lead, code, and conquer with us: https://www.link11.com/en/blog/jobs/qa-engineer-remote-first...

Anyone who follows Jeff will know he's US-based, but I still really felt he could've highlighted that fact more in that charging port standards section.

The fact that both J1772 & CCS2 are 100% universal in Europe is huge. So much so even Tesla switched to CCS2. This doesn't help Jeff but certainly one less problem for many readers of his article.

The other main issue is that GNUstep is incredibly bug prone and fragile. Case in point, two years ago i installed GNUstep from source and then built a pixelart editor called PikoPixel. The app felt very clunky, like all GNUstep apps do (note that i'm using Window Maker as my main WM so GNUstep gets the best environment it can hope for). Then two years later with some OS updates in between it doesn't work anymore.

Meanwhile i'm still using the same mediaplayer binary i built ~7 years ago on a different computer against a C GUI library.

When educators say that Wikipedia is not reliable, what they usually mean is that serious work should be based on primary sources, not secondary sources like Wikipedia or any other encyclopedia.

Wikipedia is good for casual research, and in practice, I found the English Wikipedia very reliable, at least for scientific topics, but it is also pretty good on big controversial subjects. Reliability only starts to drop on minor subjects.

But educators want you to go beyond that. Here, Wikipedia is just a starting point, with its best feature being citations.

MCPs that let us perform actions are worthwhile waiting for orgs to build, but context ones to better interact with documentations as an example, should be fairly easy to ephemerally create.

So I made a tool to crawl sites, create MCPs and connect them to your coding agents (Cursor, Codex, Claude Code etc).

Free tokens for new accounts, pay per use.

You can find more info about it on: https://x.com/reyneill_/status/1963885371546095692 and the product lunch (yummy): https://www.producthunt.com/products/doqment

Act of love? It's simply he who yells the loudest gets to write history. The controversy around the George Galloway, and Wireds coverage of the glorification of NAZI platoons and war heros? There are some articles so bad-you cannot even bear to read. But at least there are a few nonsensical articles and BAJADON, bad jokes and other deleted nonsense. My favorite article is about black light power. Absolute and complete garbage. I think that is the true enshitification is they do not take out the trash.

I did find some of the vandals, and became good friends with a few. Some of what they write is side splitting humor, but also the alt-right has an amazing amount of power they are using to rewrite history.

I would never give them a thin dime.

Most of the recommended [1] setting are available on a per connection basis, through PRAGMAs, sqlite3_db_config, sqlite3_limit, etc; some are global settings, like sqlite3_hard_heap_limit64.

A binding can expose those settings. It's not a given a third party utility will use them, but they can.

I think you hit the nail on the head - people tend to think of push (outbound) marketing as "ads" while they don't think as much about passive ads.

It's true that it's harder to do push / outbound marketing in a way that does not feel annoying. I've seen it done and it seemed like the company was reading my mind in a good constructive way. That's rare though.

Just think about it, folks.

We are now in an era where we all need to learn how to regulate and modulate our own heartbeats.

Will we at some point have any rights over our biorhythmic signatures?

If not, then I will have to learn how to apply a modulation to my own internal oscillations, such that the algorithm is gonna have to use quantum power to decrypt how I'm feeling.

People should just ignore such low-quality material and stop feeding the troll. Information found in both the first and second part of "Memory is slow, disk is fast" series is wrong on so many levels that it isn't worth correcting or commenting. It is obviously written with the help of the AI without actually fact-checking at all and all under the impression that the author is worthwhile which he isn't.

Just look at this bs:

> Early x86 processors took a few clocks to execute most instructions, modern processors have been able parallelize to where they can actually execute 2 instructions every clock.

Looks like you bought a faulty computer which happens to have 4 wheels buddy.

The neutral and parking brake issues: that just by itself should make Nissan stocks plummet. 2025 and we have these issues? It definitely looks an involution to me.

Things we humans are still lame at: adapters. Power adapters, cable data adapters. Why do we have bazillions adapters?

Can't we just design one adapter for the whole world that makes happy both manufacturers and customers? If not governments should step in and force manufacturers to include all adapters ever needed as part of a car purchase. That you have to spend more money just to charge a car because of the adapter is ridiculous.

If EVs are in this line of quality/user experience in general, thanks I'll pass and get something reliable and old school that actually works as expected.

Edit: And we don't need mobile apps to control our cars. Another really stupid and ridiculous idea that has been pushed to customers when no-one actually asked for that.

No worries, as a self proclaimed youngster I didn't manage to understand Fourier in 2 days and never bothered again. Also had no other prior knowledge to algebra so maybe that's why I struggled. Never perceived algebra as useful in anything programming related, will continue to do so as most problems are solvable without it. I'll let the degree havers do all that stuff.

We are building the products and services that bring AI into the physical world.

Similar to living organisms, and unlike traditional AI, which operate in abstract digital environments, embodied AI enables robots to learn by doing.

It seems very plausible to me that the next step function change in AI is if you can connect perception, cognition, and action through direct physical interaction with the world.

But more than anything, what stands out to me is the optimism in improving life for humans as articulated by their guiding principles.

I was thinking the other day about which websites might still exist in 100 years on whatever the web becomes, and Wikipedia to me seemed the most likely. It manages to be both stable and flexible. Functionally it's almost identical in all important ways to how it was ~25 years ago, but organisationally it has adapted to handle the incredible increase in scale. It is certainly flawed, because it's made by humans, but I think it may be the web's greatest achievement.

The value of Bitcoin also depends on your ability to convert it to real world money, since contracts are denoted in real world money.

I'd argue the real value of money lies in contract enforcement. And I am talking about real world physical enforcement like police throwing you in jail. In financial engineering literature we don't really care about the real value of money, the only assumption needed is that contracts are enforced. If that is the case then you can hedge.

For example: You sign an employment contract where you get paid in USD. You also sign a rental and utility contracts in USD. If salary > housing cost, then you essentially have your housing needs hedged. You don't really care that USD has "real value". The value of USD lies in the fact that these contracts are enforced by the government.

The rarity of a currency is important in the sense that contracts don't make sense for all parties if the currency is too abundant. For example, if you can find USD laying on the street, then you would not work for USD. The rarity mechanism itself is not important.

Hi HN. Creator here.

This enables Chrome bookmarks to integrate with AI agents. The key: Chrome extension indexes your bookmarks into local Tantivy. Since it fetches through your browser, it works with authenticated sites - your logged-in Notion, internal docs, paywalled content. The AI can search pages that require login. Currently targeting: Chrome + macOS + Claude Code (via .mcp.json) Built with Rust + Tantivy, everything runs locally. Would love your feedback.

Your colon does not really solve ambiguity. They likely thought you meant "I love C: performance and security." which would make it more explicit, but it would also change the meaning and thus be incorrect.

If I thought it was ambiguous enough to really try to fix, what I would probably default to is an elaboration. For example: "I love the intersection of C, performance and security." The meaning is not exactly the same, but it is more the same than your colon.

> That's actually the same as Java, with its "checked exceptions" (aka listed in function signatures), and the RunTimeException hierachy which don't have to be listed.

You are correct, but the logic is inverted. Most anticipated errors in Rusts are handled by Result. Errors that aren't anticipated i.e. panics, crash the thread, and if it's the main thread the program.

In Java terms, Rust has return value as error, which can be thought as checked exceptions; and Error class in Java that just kills your program.

Stuff isn't as clean cut ofc because Rust has allowed panics to be caught by main thread.

> that results in less education time. If you do homework in class then you have to give up lecture time

The most advanced classes I took, including in high school, made us do the reading and initial problem solving at home and then advanced problem solving in class. This was true for math, English and economics. Lectures with application combined.

But that doesn't work if students don't do the reading. Just as lectures only in class doesn't work if students aren't doing the homework. So a compromise is required--it's doing exercises live. Possibly even just one of the problems from last night's homework.

I agree that the verifier performance is not important to runtime performance (though there have been some changes to the JVM in particular to speed up class loading), but the expressivity of the safety proofs it can check is, because safety properties that cannot be proven at load time must be checked at runtime. Initially, and I think still, the JVM's downcast on loading an object reference from a generic container like ArrayList<Price> is an example: javac has proven statically that it is safe, but the JVM bytecode cannot express that. Pointer nullability in JVM languages like Kotlin is another example: Kotlin knows most object pointers can't be null, but the JVM still has to check at runtime.

There have been numerous holes discovered in various implementations of the basic JVM type checking, often after existing for many years.

>The difference with Turkmenistan is that the EU is the world's second largest economy

I don't think that was unclear to anyone - again, I'm sure some EU entities might want EU related AI companies more than they care about any other features, just as some Turkmenistani entities would prefer Turkmenistan AI. I hope the point about why that advantage is banausic here is more clear, now.

Besides those EU entities, do these companies offer any advantages compared to American or Chinese AI companies for the entire rest of the world? Licensing, rankings in specific benchmarks, etc?

It depends. Zoés come in many flavours, with different sizes of battery (52kWh is the best, the same size as current Renault models R4 and R5), rented or bought (don't buy a Zoé with a rental battery!!!), and the CCS2 port is in option (no CCS-2 effectively means no day trip longer than full range, unless you have the 22kW AC option, but still... you'll need to find a 22 kW charger en route, not that easy).

Battery management on Zoés is fine ; it doesn't have the overheating problem that plagues the Leaf and the VW e-Up in particular; it doesn't have the "very slow charge when cold" problem of many cheap EVs with LiFePO4 batteries, though it charges up quite slowly (10-80% in 50 minutes).

Someone I know recently bought a 135HP 52kWh Zoé without CCS-2 and 22kW AC charge for 7500€. That's a real bargain, it'sequivalent for all practical purposes (but long travel) to a brand new 30000€ R5 :)

Quoting https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2019/02/blockchain_an...:

> Private blockchains are completely uninteresting. (By this, I mean systems that use the blockchain data structure but don’t have the above three elements.) In general, they have some external limitation on who can interact with the blockchain and its features. These are not anything new; they’re distributed append-only data structures with a list of individuals authorized to add to it. Consensus protocols have been studied in distributed systems for more than 60 years. Append-only data structures have been similarly well covered. They’re blockchains in name only, and—as far as I can tell—the only reason to operate one is to ride on the blockchain hype.

In particular, using the term "blockchain"/"crypto" to talk about something more centralized / permissioned than e.g. Bitcoin is missing the point: these systems already existed before.

So what do you mean by "crypto" exactly? Distributed systems? I don't think you'll find many distributed systems skeptics on HN.

Right.

I saw one comment here replying to a post about why companies wouldn't just hire from Poland/India/etc. if they could do remote-only

He replied that you must hire in the US to get "high quality talent"

And the first thought I had was: is that really the case anymore, that companies are so desperate for "high quality"?

It increasingly seems like there is no such demand for that anymore, it's just about "how can we cut costs?" (the greatest corporate innovation ever)

You're getting downvoted because nobody likes pedantry.

Especially for the Turso project if you look under "Insights -> Contributors" on their Github page, then it's clear that that project is under heavy active development, and they have an actual funded business startup that want's to sell access to a cloud version of Turso, so they are definitely incentivized to complete it.

Sqlite was built by three people, and has a stable and well defined interface and file format. This seems like an actual tractable project to re-implement if you have enough man years of funding and a talented enough dev team. Turso seems like they could fit the bill.

It's true that they are different, but I would not say that they're very different. There is a considerable group of people here on HN who have a narrow definition of what an ad is.

Advertising and marketing are indeed two different things, but the distinction is blurry and the overlap considerable. I've read through the comment thread and it seems that advertising and marketing seem interchangeable in the way they are being talked about.

Anki's storage format is SQLite (or was a few years ago). That made it really lovely when I wanted to import the contents (including the view logs) of Anki deck I'd been using for a decade into a custom system I was designing. Just pop up the `sqlite3` REPL, poke around and see what it looks like, then write standard SQL queries to get the data out.

Porn will never disappear the same way prostitution will never disappear. It exists even in countries were people can be faced with death sentences.

Instead of age verification, I'd rather see a discussion on how to make a form of ethical porn more visible and popular than the one which involves sex trafficking, sexism and violent or degrading practices. I'd rather see good porn more accessible to teenager than letting them use workarounds and visit terrible stuff.
