This is not a surprise. The timeline for this plane aligns exactly with the timeline for Airbus's a320/321 replacement which aligns exactly with when it is believed the next generation of engines will be ready.

Both Boeing and Airbus are spending a lot of time evaluating the next engine options. Last year there was an article that Airbus is more optimistic about CFM's open rotor designs while Boeing thinks the next generation geared turbofan models will win out. That is entirely based on leaks and no-one actually knows how true those assessments are.

The 737 Max was designed with the expectation that the 8 variant would be the sweet spot. Since that time it is clear that there is massive demand for up-gauging and the A321neo is dominating and there is significant demand for the Max10 variant despite it not being certified yet.

I would expect that both Boeing and Airbus are looking at that size (maybe slightly larger) for their next narrowbody with some flexibility for shrinks and/or stretches.

This is not a response to any existing planes. The A320/321 family is very old (50 years mid 2030) and it is expected that both Boeing and Airbus are going to be introducing new airframes to fit the new engine technology.

No, typically this issue is focused around spaces like female-only refuges and safe spaces, locker rooms and changing rooms, prisons, sports competitions, and so on. The divisive point being whether males who say they are female should be refused or granted access.

That you have chosen to characterise this with wording like "anti-human bias" and "demanding human rights apply" further illustrates my point.

Interesting times indeed. It was also just before the Nokia acquisition that Microsoft was selling their first Android phone (under the Nokia brand) so they could see the winds of change.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_X

Nokia already had Android phones released months before the Microsoft acquisition closed. Makes me wonder if Nokia would have pulled out completely from making Windows phones had Microsoft not purchased them.

Even Microsoft changed their tune, releasing Android phones themselves years later under the Surface brand.

> The FTC alleges that the unlawful agreement will:

> Likely lead to higher prices and worse terms for multifamily unit advertising; and > Reduce incentives for Zillow and Redfin to compete for renters, including through investment in attracting visitors and innovation to improve user experience when searching on an ILS for a rental property.

This seems a bit inaccurate - Redfin and Zillow are both marketplaces. They are not competing on price, but on selection.

This is a weird situation because the real victim of their collusion was not consumers, but Google! Google would have pocketed nearly all of the money from an advertisement bidding war. If anything, their collusion saves money either for customers or to innovate in user experience.

Let me tell you, I wish I was paid by OpenAI, but unfortunately I get paid a very average wage in a country where OpenAI do not operate.

You can look at my account history and see that there is absolutely no indication that I am paid for, or a bot, I just happen to be relatively enthusiastic and bullish on AI capabilities. My account is 5 years old.

I do not think this product from OpenAI will be good for the world, I think it is mostly a very bad thing. I just think it is impressive.

I encourage you to try make the most generous interpretation of my comment and try to consider that other people can have sometimes wildly different experiences to you, however hard that is to believe. The alternative is to accuse people of being paid for commentors, which benefits no one and just isolates you further.

To add more nuance to my original comment, yes if you look closely at the videos it is clear that they are AI generated, but as I was watching I 'lapsed' out of attention a few times and had to remind myself what I was looking at was generated. If I stopped and rewound a few times, yes of course I could notice the slop. But my point is that it's the first time I have lost the "I am watching slop" thought while watching AI video.

Hope that clears things up for you.

Edit: I just looked through your comment history, you are an extreme AI perma bear, and that's ok, that doesn't mean you're a paid for anti-ai lobbyist. Also every single comment you have made is extremely negative and inflammatory.

I encourage you to revise your communication methods and try to practice some kindness.

> Will ZCRX help here?

Do you mean zero-copy rx by ZCRX? If so, io_uring should support that, but you need a kernel recent enough.

It supports both zero-copy rx/tx on tcp and udp afaik, and there was a paper from the google engineers that implemented zero-copy send/recv (originally for tcp only) showing that the whole endeavor was worth it when the payload was >= 20kb in size (iirc).

It could be interesting to see if that's still the case with current state of linux, memory sticks, etc.

I've looked up the links from when i dug into that:

Aren't the rejection reasons true of every US EV truck? They all have gross vehicle weight ratings over 3.5 tons, they all lack speed limiters, and they all fail EU pedestrian safety regulations.

The only exception I know of is the F-150 Lightning. It's allowed in Europe outside the EU (Norway & Switzerland), though its maximum load is limited to 805kg (including passengers) to keep it below the 3,500kg limit.[1]

Edit: Some guy in Poland (which is in the EU) has a Cybertruck.[2] I'm not sure how he made it EU compliant. He claims there are at least five Cybertrucks registered in Poland.[3] There's also a Cybertruck registered in the Czech Republic.[4]

He initially turned down the job because he felt that a lawyer wasn't the right person to run an engineering company, and from reports of people who worked with him he knew his knowledge limits and listened to the engineers. He took serious risks with the 707 and 747 projects because he trusted the people who understood the technology.

MBAs and final-gasp lawyers concentrate on making the reported number go up in the short term, they won't take a hit now for a payoff in ten years.

"Unlike open-source projects that are simply distributed “as-is” with no warranties, but similar to other infrastructure projects, these codebases underpin a service operated by Ruby Central, and its canonical clients, relied on by millions of developers every day to securely download and publish gems. "

Are they offering warranties?

What new privacy laws demand them signing some handcrafted legal document?

Is what they did legal?

Couldn't they fork to provide a secure version.

That one guy maintaining so many rubygems is the same guy who is offering a competing software solution that could reduce their profit stream is that the real reason?

I've been RAM limited more than CPU limited for some time. In my personal workflows, 32GB was not enough and I'd receive out of memory errors. I bumped that up to 64GB and the memory errors went away. This was in a Hackintosh so RAM upgrades were possible. I've never tried an M* series chip to see how it would behave with the same workflow with the lower RAM available in affordable machines.

From a 2019 Forbes article [0]

> Duolingo has gotten bad press from writers who try the app and don’t learn much. But Von Ahn promises only to get users to a level between advanced beginner and early intermediate. “A significant portion of our users use it because it’s fun and it’s not a complete waste of time,” he says.

> He’s been logging 15 to 20 minutes of French every day since November, and when asked to describe what he did the previous weekend he says, “Je fais du sport. Je suis mange avec mes amis. Je suis boire du biere en un bar,” mangling his tenses. (Rough translation: I play sports, I am eat with my friends. I am drink beer in a bar.)

> Bob Meese, Duolingo’s 42-year-old chief revenue officer, has been studying Duolingo Spanish for more than six months. In response to the question, “¿Hablas español?” he freezes, then says, “Could you repeat that?”

Also, having worked in the language learning industry myself, readers may be curious to learn that Duolingo is seen as a pariah that no one takes seriously as a learning tool. And I'm not one to use the term "scam" lightly, but if that word is to mean anything, then it definitely applies to Duolingo!

> My 4K monitors, mostly set to 2K, display 2560 x 1440 pixels. And even when switch them to their full 4K resolution I don't view my images in 1:1 obviously.

macOS, but my understanding of Retina is that even if your effective resolution is lower (e.g., my 6K ProDisplay has a resolution of 3008x1692), applications can designate regions to be "original resolution," so I'm getting the image's original resolution in the editing window or region.
Show HN: NanoModal – a tiny accessible modal library
by stanko | 2025-09-30 22:16:52+00:00
Hey HN,

I love using native web elements, but with <dialog> there are a bunch of small quirks and cross browser differences. I decided to make a tiny library (850 bytes gzipped) around the dialog element so solve these.

NanoModal is accessible, has animations and it is easy to customize using CSS. I already started using it on my projects.

Please let me know what you think and if you find any issues with it, thank you!

>> Compiles code twice as fast as my new Windows desktop

>That's because MS's filesystem layer has been garbage since NT was launched decades ago [...]

I confess that this kind of excuse drives me batty. End users don't buy CPUs and buy filesystems. They buy entire systems. "Well, it's not really that much faster, it's just that part of the system is junk. The rest is comparable!" That may be, but the end result for the person you're talking to is that their Windows PC compiles code at half the speed of their Mac. It's not like they bought it and selected the glacial filesystem, or even had a choice in the matter.

That's right up there with "my Intel integrated graphics gets lower FPS than my Nvidia card." "But the CPU is faster!" Possibly true, but still totally irrelevant if the rest of the system can't keep up.
by neuroelectron | 2025-09-30 22:17:29+00:00
That's not much different than a modern CPU with an OS on top; where you have the OS doing some of the scheduling then the CPU is splitting up the instructions into microinstructions and then scheduling them again in finer detail (hyperthreading and such). Seems to me there must be a C-level syntax and compiler so you're not manually splitting up individual adds and such and is still capable of optimizing the math effectively. But if that were true, we wouldn't have AAA game studios going to NVidia to optimize their game engines for each individual game.

Yes, LDL is the best we have since they won’t bother to measure oxidative stress nor inflammation in the human body.

But lowering your LDL does not prevent heart disease. There are many many people with normal LDL who have heart attacks.

In fact, it is the norm. And I can’t imagine how many people are being told. They have no heart disease risk just because their LDL is normal. It’s a crime and it needs to be stopped.

https://www.uclahealth.org/news/release/most-heart-attack-pa...

A new national study has shown that nearly 75 percent of patients hospitalized for a heart attack had cholesterol levels that would indicate they were not at high risk for a cardiovascular event, based on current national cholesterol guidelines.

I remember when HP announced their plan to acquire Autonomy. I was very familiar with their tech and their status in the industry at the time and knew they were approaching irrelevance with no chance to boost sales of anything. They completed the deal anyway, which was followed by HP firing their CEO, lawsuits for misrepresenting their financial status and a complete writedown of the total acquisition cost. It seemed so obvious to me and my colleagues were doing integrations and software procurement and yet HP was completely blinded by everything besides their fabricated balance sheet.

I really love ZFS Native encryption, but this is the big problem with it. I use ZFS Raw Sends to store my backups incrementally in a cloud I trust, but not enough to have raw access to my files. ZFS has great attributes there, theoretically - I can send delta updates of my filesystems, and the receiver never has they keys to decrypt them.

I've used this in practice for many years (2020), and aside from encountering exactly this issue (though thankfully I did have a bookmark already in place), it's worked great. I've tested restores from these snapshots fairly regularly (~ quarterly), and only once had an issue related to a migration - I moved the source from one disk to another. This can have some negative effects on encryptionroots, which I was able to solve... But I really, really wish that ZFS tooling had better answers to it, such as being able to explicitly create and break these associations.

I’m wary of being that damning, this early. What I want to know is, should my video have these kinds of continuity errors, how easily can I fix them?

It’s ok for this to be a fun toy. (And fun toy while also being an astonishing piece of engineering.) But if it wants to push beyond fun toy then it would be interesting to see how that process works.

Will Sora2 help me sketch out a movie for me, doing 10% of the work where I have to reshoot the other 90% for real, or will it get me 90% there leaving me only 10% left to do “by hand”?

(This is the exact same question, I believe, which is being asked of the maintenance burden imposed by vibe coded products. They get you 90% then fail spectacularly leaving you having to do the bulk of the work again? Or they get you 90% of the way and you int have to fill in the gaps to reach a stable long term product?)

I use native ZFS encryption because it makes it super easy to share encrypted datasets across dual-booted operating systems. AFAIK Linux does not support GELI and FreeBSD does not support LUKS. DragonflyBSD supports LUKS but then no ZFS.

Also, that way I can have Linux and FreeBSD living on the same pool, seamlessly sharing my free space, without losing the ability to use encryption. Doing both LUKS and GELI would requiring partitioning and giving each OS its own pool.

The actual reason is that the vast majority of Duolingo users are only using the app because they like to play Duolingo. I don't say this to insult Duolingo users, but they're not actually serious language learners. They just really like playing Duolingo and if Duolingo stopped existing, they would simply stop "learning" languages all together.

Only in limited circumstances. The strongest legal defense is to attack the procedures and legal bullet points in the process. Didn't get that form proving chain of custody between these two parts? Oh, too bad, out the window that evidence goes. It might be possible to harass someone without warrants and paperwork, but securing a conviction at least for the moment still requires evidence gathered according to the law, or parallel construction to obscure the origin of the evidence.

Definitely not! It will be better on certain topics and worse on others. It is all down to whether you think Grok is more thorough with controversial topics, scientific and medical information, etc compared with the current human edit-a-thon on wikipedia.

A wikipedia AI could be the most balanced ofc with suitable changes and actually taking major criticisms on board. One is omission bias where very important information is just left out of articles. Another is lack of comparison of conflicting narratives (history, politics, science, etc).

Sure, but the pool of people who can get into hedge funds overlaps a ton with the pool of people who have done "6 years at a BB in anything that's not equities or delta". That's like... where hedge fund recruiters go poaching, isn't it?

(OP here) LDL is still a good biomarker, but ApoB is a better biomarker for the same undelrying risk factor -- each atherogenic particle (LDL, VLDL, IDL) has exactly one ApoB molecule.

The reason we offer the tests as cash pay is that it's the only way we can guarantee the price. In the past, when we've gone through insurance, the insurer's "negotiated rate" for the same exact panel comes out to $1,400-$1,500. If the insurer later decides to deny coverage for any of the tests, it's more expensive for the patient.

The $190 price is negotiated to be pretty low. It includes hs-CRP ($59 by itself online), but also the other major heart health biomarkers: ApoB ($69), Lp(a) ($49), A1c ($39), lipid panel ($59), eGFR ($99), other biomarkers, and a video consultation with a doctor to actually explain the results and what to do about them.

For hs-CRP in particular, it's not covered under the ACA as a preventive benefit, so you would usually need to hit your deductible before insurance kicks in at all. (That's assuming they count it as medically necessary at all -- for example, Aetna's current medical policy for hs-CRP requires 2 risk factors, LDL in a specific range, and overall cardiovascular risk to be in a certain range or the claim would simply be denied). It's possible this will change over time as the ACC/AHA recommend universal screening, and I hope it does, but it's a relatively a slow process since it depends on the US Preventive Services Task Force to issue a formal recommendation.

To compare, Walmart employs over 2M workers, and as efficient as they are, they still need to scale with the size of their business scope. Whether it's a linear scale or a log scale, they need more and more people as they do more and more.

You're instinctively ranking TikTok as worse, but I think that parent is trying to say that Duolingo is effectively a waste of time. If you have two ways to waste your time on a phone, what makes one of them worse?
