The anti-vax thing is because every single comparative study of vaccinated and unvaccinated children found a greater rate of developmental disorders in vaccinated children. They're also the only products for which you're not allowed to sue the manufacturers for liability, and the justification given by the manufacturers for requesting this liability protection was literally that they'd be sued out of business otherwise. If they were as safe as other treatments they wouldn't need a blanket liability immunity.

No, but many will have it accidentally.

2 bedroom apartments are the most common IIRC, and those usually have 1.5 or 2 bathrooms (a "public" and a "private" where a half bath is a shitter/sink no shower/bath).

3 bedrooms usually have 2 but sometimes 3 (a public - by public I mean the one the guests would use - a "master" or ensuite one INSIDE the biggest room, and sometimes a jack-and-jill between two other rooms).

I think this regulation is specific for subletting rooms, e.g., you can't force someone to share a bathroom with someone they don't share a bedroom with.

How's that working out? The worst ideas of the 20th century are resurfacing in plain sunlight because the dem's couldn't pluck their heads out of the sand and actually fight them.

Now vaccines are getting banned and the GOP is gerrymandering the hell out of the country to ensure the end of the democratic process. Sure, let's do nothing and see where that brings us. Maybe people will magically come to their senses.

I used to think people here didn't really use them before AI, but I actually downloaded a dataset of all comments over like a decade or so and counted the number of comments with an em dash, and it didn't actually change much around 2022-2023 like I had expected.

It's the spacing that's usually the giveaway to me, as well as the fact that it's not as common for people to use them like semicolons. They use them for parenthetical clauses more often. Any time I see them used with spaces as a general purpose conjunction, THAT'S when I think AI.

There's one more exciting thing about Qwen3-next (except, efficient MoE architecture and fast linear attention) - MTP (Multi token prediction). It is the additional layer that allows generating more tokens without the need to go through the model again. I'm trying to make it work, but unsuccesfully yet. Maybe someone could help me with it - https://github.com/Mega4alik/ollm/blob/dev/src/ollm/qwen3_ne... (dev brunch). Take a look

> Something to ensure they sent money to a wallet on the right chain, that was expecting their tx.

SNS and ENS are the best ways I know. They're cryptocurrency-based naming solutions. You can pin your wallet address to a friendly name and pay for holding onto the friendly name like a domain name. Then if your wallet supports using an SNS or ENS address, you can just pay the payee on SNS or ENS. Right now 5+ character SOL names are for-life $20 USD (pinned to USDC), and you can make subdomains.

> It seems like improving the UX to reduce mistakes is solvable, and maybe there are solutions built, but I never see them in the guides.

From what I can tell, until 2018-2019-ish cryptocurrencies were still being widely thought of as payment rails. Then two things happened at once. ERC20 took off and memecoins became a thing, so the amount of gambling in cryptocurrency really shot up. That and added organic popularity to a lot of cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin's refusal to increase block size saw very high transaction fees.

A lot of crypto communities became filled with gambling and scam posts. This shift in focus both soured a lot of the bloggers/commenters which shifted some dev talent away and the remaining talent focused on trying to improve the fundamentals, relating to transaction fees, speeds, and on/offramps. The focus on UX really dropped off during that time.

The good news is now we have fast L1s (Solana, Monero, Bitcoin Cash, etc.) and L2s (including Lightning) so the transaction stuff became solved. Stablecoins offer stability where the actual crypto assets don't. Now there's more renewed focused on everyday usage of crypto and so there's a need to firm up the UX again.

I was quite excited for Datastart until I saw that they keep a good chunk of the functionality behind a proprietary license [1]. It's not even about the price (it is a bit steep though, but I guess if you use it in a commercial project it will pay for itself), it's the proprietary part.

There's a lot of nuance that you kind of learn to sniff out.

I've seen studies that claim data from a nap is as good as data from sleep.

Sham's that don't compare the stimulation, for example how long it takes to fall asleep with stimulation AND the sound of waves compared to just silence. What happened to just the sound of waves?

What data is thrown out? We've seen studies which looks like the data which was removed didn't match the thesis. For example, when measuring how long it took a person to fall asleep, if they fell asleep too quickly in the sham condition, the data wasn't included, because they didn't have difficulty falling asleep.

But a big one I look for to clarify this is "why"? Why do we think this might work? What's the mechanism through which this is acting.

Even if it isn't 100% known, at least postulate as to why we think the body would respond in this manner.

With slow-wave enhancement, the theory is that we are triggering a protective mechanism in the brain, and in response the brain increases slow-wave activity. We see this clearly and immediately in EEG data right after stimulation, and for a few seconds after. We compare a 5-stim on/5 stim off within night stimulation condition.

I will admit that one of the challenges in sleep studies is that sleep is influenced by so many factors, and it isn't the same each night. Even with controls in place, this is VERY difficult to control for.

It is one of the reasons, as engineers, we like the stimulation we are working with. We can see the immediate brain response, and the research has shown the downstream neurological/biological/physiological responses as a result. Sometimes measured in real-time, such as cortisol and HRV, but when that is not available, next day responses.

The challenge to what we do is that the technology is difficult to implement, and the studies clearly show researchers struggling with this. I wrote about it in our blog post about Beyond Cherry Picking (https://www.affectablesleep.com/blog/beyond-cherry-picking-m...)

I don't see the controlling aspect materializing, except forcing Ruby Central to build a reliable organizational structure. There are companies that are way more involved in controlling projects. Cloud providers or CDNs that start to sponsor, but after a while lose interest unless specific adjustments are being made.

I doubt there will ever be a run-time dependency of rubygems with Shopify. I would be more alarmed if, say, Microsoft GitHub™, Google, Cloudflare would "step up to safe the project".

99% of websites are, or should be, just a simple document(s) with a couple of forms, and the goal of HTMX is to help achieving low to medium complexity interactivity, and better UX on such sites easy. These are not the flashiest and most sexy demos, but the staple of the Internet.

If you really need to make a web _application_ with lots of reactive interdependent elements, HTMX is not the tool for the job.

I use it daily locally, and find it amusing how many only think of it as being useful on remote servers (not to invalidate your use-case -- I'm just contrasting my own use). As a precursor, I view UNIX as my IDE, of which tmux is a part: this IDE runs on Windows (WSL2), macOS, Linux, and Android (Termux). That aside, here are a few reasons I find tmux to be useful in this concoction of tools:

- Session management. I've written custom scripts for myself around this (zoxide + fzf). If you want to see how this can be used, look at ThePrimagen's workflow. I don't use his scripts but he has a good demo of how he harnesses sessions.

- Unified scrollback management - easily search the scrollback, yank it, etc. My favorite thing to do is to yank part of the scrollback, then `Prefix+B,=` to list everything I've yanked (think of this like a "clipboard manager" specific to tmux), select an entry, and press `e` to edit it in `$EDITOR`.

- This one might be a stretch, but I tend to try and use only terminal tools (without being utterly insane) because then tmux can be my "tiling window manager" no matter what OS I'm on. Oh, I have to use Windows for work? Not to worry, tmux runs in WSL2, as do most of my preferred tools, so I feel mostly at home even though I normally really dislike Windows.

- It's scriptable. Read `man tmux` and use your imagination!

Notwithstanding any of that, there are cons, the most apparent one being that I am limited to text-based tools this way. An example of this: getting images to work in tmux, though many modern terminal emulators support them, is a huge pane, so I haven't bothered.
Where to find PCB dataset for autorouting?
by technivis | 2025-09-23 22:27:14+00:00
Hi, I'm completely new to PCB autorouting and just started exploring it. I've figured out that AI is now a big thing for predicting routes, but it seems that many researchers are facing issues with datasets. I found some of their GitHub links, but the datasets are either missing or the code to generate them is broken. Is there any way to get PCB datasets specifically for autorouting? I've seen many datasets for PCB defects, but not for this purpose.

> Most people do not install custom phone OS images.

They might start to do, if governments become so obnoxious with their surveillance, that it somehow makes life inconvenient for regular people. However, then governments will start to block the network access for "uncertified" devices and software, or even to restrict the access to general-purpose computers altogether. That's why it is better to defeat this politically, than to play eternal cat-mouse games.
Ask HN: Is the Y Combinator GitHub bot real or scam?
by a1o | 2025-09-23 22:28:31+00:00
Got this weird message from a GitHub bot

—-

Next step: To confirm your preliminary registration and secure eligibility, please verify your wallet through Y Combinator. This step ensures fairness, safeguards against Sybil attacks, and does not require personal information. The process takes less than a minute: simply connect your wallet and sign a verification message.

Important: A refundable deposit is required for authorization. The full amount will be returned once verification is complete.

—-

Is this a real thing or a scam? I have never got a ycombinator message on GitHub and have been on GitHub for more than ten years.

Edit: Ok, I rechecked and it looks too scammy. Going to block this with the “this is a scam” assumption.

Making demands about how you want to be contacted when the group has been trying to include you for years is a dick move at minimum. You can say sorry I'll call you back in 10 if you are busy.

Trying to dress this up as adhd/age/head of household (what is that even??) is just expecting the world to revolve around you

No, learn to be a decent person.

How does this fit the EEE pattern? For reference, here is Wikipedia's description of EEE:

> "Embrace, extend, and extinguish" ... is a phrase that the U.S. Department of Justice found was used internally by Microsoft to describe its strategy for entering product categories involving widely used open standards, extending those standards with proprietary capabilities, and using the differences to strongly disadvantage its competitors.

Not every instance of corporate bad behavior in open source is EEE. Shopify isn't in competition with open source or potentially threatened by open source. They are not extending open standards or technology.

Maybe I'm being pedantic, but I'd rather not muddy the water with unhelpful, sloppy metaphors.

I agree. And on top of that it would be great to have spots with ALPRs that delivery companies can pay for their use and discourage or tow non-compliant vehicles.

Covid time encouraged new food pickup priority parking spots but I don't see a lot of new thinking around emergent street use needs. We have massively increased delivery culture and micro mobility shares and city planning is lagging. (I think delivery is great - fewer car trips and just overall more efficient - my opinion).

Taking PyPI as a central place of packages, it is known that their bandwidth bill would be $1.8+M per month (https://dustingram.com/articles/2021/04/14/powering-the-pyth...) were it not for Fastly giving them a 100% discount.

Are there any reliable decentralized package distribution systems operating at within 2 orders of magnitude of that scale? How do they handle administrative issues such as malicious packages or name squatting? Standards updates? Enforcement of correct metadata? And all the other common things package indexes need to handle.

I'm clearly skeptical, but would be very interested in any real world success stories.

I don't subscribe to pure anarchism. We also have local public schools, parks, libraries, bike trails, etc. funded by "other people's" (our) pockets. It's fine. The US at least has 10 million sq km. Plenty of room for different types of communities to exist. The are cities in multiple directions a few miles away with less restrictive zoning if people like the area but want apartments, townhomes, or advertising.

I created these demos using real data and real api connections with real databases, utilizing 100% AI code in http://betpredictor.io and https://pix2code.com; however, they barely work. At this point, I'm fixing 90% or more of every recommendation the AI gives. With you're code base being this large, you can be guaranteed that the AI will not know what needs to be edited, but I haven't written one line of hand-written code.

The difference is arbitrary but fixed. For any given Markov model, there are inputs that can fully fit in the present state and inputs that can't. But for any given input, there are models that can encode it entirely in the present state.

Markov models are useful for understanding the limitations of any specific next-token predictor with a fixed context window. But not for the limitations of such predictors in general, as there is always a Markov model large enough to handle any specific input.

Their A3B Omni paper mentions that the Omni at that size outperformed the (unreleased I guess) VL. Edit: I see now that there is no Omni-235B-A22B; disregard the following. ~~Which is interesting - I'd have expected the larger model to have more weights to "waste" on additional modalities and thus for the opposite to be true (or for the VL to outperform in both cases, or for both to benefit from knowledge transfer).~~

Relevant comparison is on page 15: https://arxiv.org/abs/2509.17765

They probably thought it would be easier to takeover rubygems than ensure every dev and every machine for every possible ruby tool could be and is pointed at the internal gem repository.

Let's be paranoid for a moment. What if there's a supply side attack on a gem used by Homebrew. That's basically installed on every dev machine, auto-updates automatically/silently, could have sudo, that no one would care or even know how to point at a private gem repository.

It can simultaneously be legal/allowable for them to ban speech, and yet also the case that we should criticize them for doing so. The first amendment only restricts the government, but a culture of free speech will also criticize private entities for taking censorious actions. And a culture of free speech is necessary to make sure that the first amendment is not eventually eroded away to nothing.
by rpiguy | 2025-09-23 22:33:11+00:00
I appreciate you.

People have become more anti-Vax because the Covid vaccines were at best ineffective and as you said anything contra-narrative is buried or ignored.

If you push a shitty product and force people to take it to keep their jobs it’s going to turn them into skeptics of all vaccines, even the very effective ones.

More harm than good was done there. The government should have approved them for voluntary use so the fallout would not have been so bad.

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_the_European_Union, "legal acts include regulations, which are automatically enforceable in all member states": any move by national parliaments would be overruled.

Interesting that this national law was pushed by people in an alliance around Macron: the same team which might sign the opposite for the EU. Just a drop in an ocean of nonsense, from where such a dangerous bill might emerge.

The problem with any system like this is that due to scale it will be automated which means a large swath of people will be caught up in it doing nothing wrong.

This is why perma bans are bad. Id rather a strike system before a temp ban to give some breathing room for people to navigate the inevitable incorrect automation. Even then if the copyright issue is anything to go by this is going to hurt more than help.

Anti-vax has never really been a thing though. I don't know what the data is these days, but it used to be like 1% of the population who were anti-vax.

We have the same thing going on with racism in the West where people are convinced racism is a much bigger problem than it actually is.

And whether it's anti-vax or racist beliefs, when you start attacking people for holding these views you always end up inadvertently encouraging people to start asking why that is and they end up down rabbit holes.

No one believes peas cause cancer for example, but I guarantee one of best ways to make people start to believing peas cause cancer is for the media to start talking about how some people believe that peas do cause cancer, then for sites like YouTube and Facebook to starting ban people who talk about it. Because if they allow people to talk about UFOs and flat Earth conspiracies why are they banning people for suggesting that peas cause cancer? Is there some kind of conspiracy going on funded by big agriculture? You can see how this type of thinking happens.

As far as I know you only get a ticket if you're actually parked there when the sweeper comes by. There's a parking cop car following the sweeper and ticketing the cars. You're allowed to re-park in the street after the sweeper has done its job, even if it's still technically street sweeping time.

So if you've got a ticket, there almost certainly was a sweeper that came by at that time.

My comment was not meant as a judgment on Anna, and if she's depressed, I would not put this kind of onus on her.

I was merely pointing out that most people who don't respond or always say "no" are not like the Anna in this submission. If I know someone who is in similar shoes as Anna, then I have no problem continuing to invite.
by truncate | 2025-09-23 22:35:42+00:00
I totally agree with you on that, but then why have this program at first place then?

I'm just saying that given its SFMTA -- if the tow truck will take say 30 min, they will probably try to wait and issue the ticket later right before tow truck can arrive so that they can get the fines. SFMTA relies heavily on fining people for their revenue and hence incentivized to not act on good faith here. Obviously, it an accusation based on anecdotes and personal experience and by no means an evidence, and I may very well be wrong, but overall I've very very little faith in SFMTA.

>> I imagine the text goes out from SF's servers simultaneously with the tow truck. These systems are often old. I wouldn't assume anything here.

So ticket 98494660 has citation #984,946,605

Ticket 98494661 will have citation #984,946,616

(The example of the pattern mistakenly starts with an citation number #984,946,606 which they said does not exist, rather than #984,946,605 which is the one shown in the image)

If you actually cared about CSAM you would want those posting it to self incriminate and then face consequences in real life at the hands of actual authorities. Websites banning such posters only serves to alert them that they need to improve their tactics and give them the opportunity to hide. Removing only the offending content and alerting authorities is the appropriate thing a website like Youtube should be doing.

Even if one does argue that CSAM should result in hardware and IP bans, there's no reason that can't be a sole exception to a wider prohibition on such bans.
