Kirk's views specifically contributed to the toxic political landscape and he himself often called for violent action. He boasted about funding buses to go to the january 6th storming of the captiol, which was almost certainly not peaceful. He also called for the bail of the man who invaded Nancy Pelosi's house, again violently. His trail of supporting violence is long and public. Just because you hold open debates, does not mean you cannot also incite violence.

This article is propaganda.

If you have the most basic understanding of chips its not just design, as that has a high degree of coupling to manufacturing and this article doesn't say where, who or how the chips are being made.

China, at last check was behind Intels home grown chip making efforts when it came to sizes and yields.

Hype and saber rattling to get the US to (Re)act, or possibly ignore the growing black market for Nvidia gear (that also happens to be bi-directional with modified cards flowing back to the US).

ADA is still the law, but, yes, Ada the language was mandated for 5 or 6 years and everyone got waivers for it anyways.

A big difference between the Ada mandate and this current push is that the current effort is not to go to one language, but to a different category of languages (specifically, "memory safe" or ones with stronger guarantees of memory safety). That leaves it much more open than the Ada mandate did. This would be much more palatable for contractors compared to the previous mandate.

"I don’t know if this is a problem that is specific to OM System cameras, and I’m not particularly interested in investing in a new camera system just to find out."

A better way to have further narrowed down the problem down to Actually iPhoto would've been to do the same tests with a USB-C card reader plugged directly into the Mac, which would've eliminated cables, hubs, and camera hardware/software/firmware as possibilities.

It's worth noting that searches show that OM-1 USB support is imperfect, the camera manual addresses that "USB transfers aren’t guaranteed in some setups", and user consensus seems to be to use a card reader for reliable file transfers.

Of course it is. It’s the resources of 2 billion people against the resources of 20 million people, driven by goals of religious domination by the larger side.

Just taking the US example, this is the same public who were gullible enough to think that Donald and Kamala were good candidates. Of course their opinion is swayed by that much propaganda.

Its focus around constructible objects does lend itself well to the kind of proofs needed for non-halting. Usually they involve lemmas about the 'syntax' of a TM's configuration and how it evolves over time, and the actual number-based math is relatively simple. (With the exception of Skelet #17, which involves fiddly invariants of finite sequences.)

"woke" currently is used as an insult for a form of empathy; how much empathy you have will be a function of brain structure and lived experience; a platform's vibe is a function of its userbase [and their underlying politics expressed in their online participation based upon how their brain operates], extrapolate accordingly.

I'm surprised at how negative HN as a whole is on VPNs. The argument seems to go that VPNs don't really give you much privacy. I disagree. I don't think they give absolutely privacy but there are benefits.

As soon as you use a service in another country, it greatly complicates anyone trying to pierce that veil. A US shield can be pierced by John Doe warrants, FISA warratns, pen registers and so on. Some of these options are open to average citizens who may want to dox you or simply report your activity to government agencies, which is more relevant now than it has been in many years.

We've seen several websites pop up to dox people who don't show sufficient deference to Charlie Kirk's murder. We have an administration who now seeks to deport people, deny entry to visa holders and deny visas to people who criticize Israel.

For so many people in the US, citizens and otherwise, an extra level of privacy has become essentially mandatory.

The US ISP market is dominated by regional monopolies where you have no other option. ISPs monitor your traffic, not only to sell your data to data brokers but to decide if you're doing anything "inappropraite" like using a file-sharing service. How long before that extends to the content of your speech?

I'm glad people are doing things like xposing IPv6 leaks (as in this post) and other weaknesses. Some here will taken this as further evidence that VPNs are of little or no value. I don't. I want to know who the good providers are.

Apple stole my entire music library. I have had one library going back to the first release of iTunes on Windows (2003?) — thousands of songs, most of them CD rips.

I then subscribed to Apple Music and relied on its matching function. After switching from an Intel Mac to an M2 and redownloading my library from remote, it now believes that each and every song in my library are rented Apple Music copies. Even those it shows as having been added in 2003.

Some songs are missing; some go missing, then inexplicably come back months later. Worse: so far I have found around a dozen which have been replaced by different versions.

It's a real mess.

You're missing the point here. You can always go from ordered to randomness. You cannot go from randomness to ordered. So by intentionally removing the useful properties of UUIDv7, you're taking away some external API consumers' hypothetical possibility to leverage benefits. If I know (as an API consumer) that I have a database that for whatever reason prefers evenly distributed primary keys or something similar, I can always accomplish that by hashing. I just can never go the other way.

That's not really an IPv6 issue, but an ISP issue. My old ISP didn't monitor anything and relies on customers to call them up and explain that their connection is down. Sometimes tell them that their connection to entire towns are down, because they don't know.

I'm fairly fortunate that my ISP not only offers IPv6, but also knows how to run their network. Denmark has plenty of ISP that doesn't provide IPv6, don't know how to run a network or some many cases both.

And now they're all effectively dead, killed by illegal executive actions whose lawsuits have stalled out in the Supreme Court queue. But the employees are already fired and looking for new jobs, so even if the actions are rolled back when SCOTUS finally gets around to it (strategic delay -- they can move like lightning when it suits them), they'll be hollowed out and unable to perform their legislatively mandated duties.

At the end of the article: > Update 9/1/2025 11:11 a.m. ET: 40-minutes of footage of Star Wars Outlaws running on Switch 2 in docked mode has seemingly leaked ahead of launch. What’s shown looks decent enough compared to what was described of the PAX West demo running in handheld mode

I appreciate it when publications include corrections at the end of their articles. Even though I don't own a Switch, I enjoyed the piece, and I believe the main point about running AAA games on hardware below the recommended specifications still holds true.

> I’m a fan of the whole Apple ecosystem

Is that a necessary qualifier? I used to get that impression, but on the outside it's gradually become a rarely believable pitch. Without having an iPhone and without having an Apple Watch, and without having already had them years ago, it just seems like I've sort of made the right choice with just mac over the years, and with the latest OS that's becoming just a tiny bit more questionable; their decision making with software seems sus.

Like I've never had to qualify my setup of using a mac for work, Android phone for phone, and I guess Audio Technica for headphones. It's not super nerdy, it's not super integrated, but if I wanted it to be super integrated, "what value would I get out of steeping myself into the Apple ecosystem further" is the question that comes to mind. I also have an old iPad that I tried to make useful, and the iPod nano 3rd gen which was actually amazing, but ultimately was hampered by software limitations that they don't seem to have advanced on much in 10 years. I've always found their discrete hardware products to be amazing in terms of industrial design, but they've never really been compelling in terms of their utility.

Let's be clear, Israel is not pointing guns at children and pulling the trigger. After October 2023, Israel has pretty much stopped protecting human shields. Before October 2023, Israel would hold fire when Hamas were hiding behind their populations' children. This is extremely well documented and I encourage you to research it. After October 2023, we have stopped protecting the human shields. This is because our own children, our babies, and our brothers and sisters and fathers and mothers, are being held in Gaza. How long can we be expected to continue protecting their children at the expense of our own?

It should be also noted, and this is extremely well documented, that between 1/3 and 1/5 of all Hamas rockets fall back into the Gaza strip. That is an extraordinarily dense urban area, and all those injuries are blamed on Israel. Culturally, it makes sense for Arab media to report them as "killed in a war with Israel". But Western media then translates and reports that as "killed by Israel".

This is not some conspiracy theory the Arabs status very clearly. I highly suggest that you go through the Arabic Telegram channels. I personally speak Arabic, but if you don't then Telegram has a built-in translation feature anyway. Or go through any other Arab media, it's all over the place.

If you don't want to see children getting hurt, then stop protecting and encouraging Hamas.

Vehicles also act as large portable storage, which is very convenient when you have kids. e.g. stroller, diaper bag, change of clothes, sports equipment, emergency supplies. It would be annoying to always have to keep things on your person. With a personal vehicle, you also don't have to worry about something falling out of a bag and being lost forever after the vehicle drives away, or accidentally leaving a piece of equipment in it; just go check the parking lot. Or what if you want to make a trip to multiple stores and want to keep bags from the first in the car while you're in the second?

EVs also have the potential to act as large backup batteries for your home.

You can also choose how to amortize your costs. My mom's been driving the same car for 22 years now.

The first part of your post sounds almost like an ad for the Bambu Lab P1S. The second part sounds more like the Prusa CORE One kit (build volume is not a perfect match).

I really wouldn't bother buying anything else as a beginner. Pick between these two.

It's a weird thing in 3D printing right now that if you don't have the open source stuff as a requirement you get better print quality and reliability for half the price with Bambu Lab.
Ask HN: Is anyone else sick of AI splattered code
by throwaway-ai-qs | 2025-09-17 17:29:58+00:00
Between code reviews, and AI generated rubbish, I've had it. Whether it's people relying on AI to write pull request descriptions (that are crap by the way), or using it to generate tests.. I'm sick of it.

Over the year, I've been doing a tonne of consulting. The last three months I've watched at least 8 companies embrace AI generated pip for coding, testing, and code reviews. Honestly, the best suggestions I've seen are found by linters in CI, and spell checkers. Is this what we've come to?

My question for my fellow HNers.. is this what the future holds? Is this everywhere? I think I'm finally ready to get off the ride.

I disagree that self-driving won't reduce traffic, at least from the perspective a Virginia resident. Commuting into D.C. is in theory very quick, except for when there are crashes. Crashes double the commute time, and there's _always_ a crash. This is pretty much the only source of traffic in my area. I think the primary benefit of self-driving would be lowering the crash rate, and as a side effect traffic.

yes, the short answer is LLVM uses RegPressureTracker (https://llvm.org/doxygen/classllvm_1_1RegPressureTracker.htm...) to do all those calculations. Slightly longer answer: I should probably be a little more specific that in most cases, Machine Scheduler cares more about register pressure _delta_ caused by a single instruction, either traverses from bottom-up or top-down. In which case it's easier to make an estimation when some of other instructions are not scheduled yet.

I don't remember my school days, oddly. For my kids, they don't have an "algebra" class until later. But they do basic symbolic math far sooner. I know they have done what we would call linear systems of equations as early as 6th grade. Different number systems even earlier.

My 9th grader is in an algebra class. I don't remember if it is 1 or 2.

I'm still not entirely clear I see the obvious path from the things they are doing to algebraic types.

There are two things I found valuable in the letter which is why I posted it:

First an example of a notable figure, known precisely because of the habitual strength of his reasoning, refusing to engage an opponent because of the repugnance of the opponent's values and insincerity of the opponent's participation.

Second despite the (clearly evident elsewhere) power of Russell's reasoning, his justification is exclusively emotional. He feels strongly about this and he stands by what he feels. He does not attempt to downplay this motivation or launder it through reason or rhetoric.

People keep saying that but nobody proposes a meaningful more precise approach. There are plenty of military planners in nations hostile to Israel, if there is a better answer why are they not pointing it out to make Israel look bad?

And look at Israel vs Hezbollah--Hezbollah makes little use of human shield tactics, casualties run in the ballpark of 90% combatant. Same force, same type of opponent, what's the difference in Gaza? Hamas makes very heavy use of human shield tactics and worse. We see 30-50% combatants. That implies that the majority of the deaths are because of Hamas.

Limiting the # of shares in some way would be nice also. If people could only share one thing per day, they'd be more thoughtful of what to spend it on.

I actually had a moment just yesterday, imagining/hoping my toddler daughter will grow up and refer to my phone in the same way I did with my parents cigarettes when I was a kid. My mom always claims she had no idea they were dangerous when she started as a teen. I wonder if we'll all sound the same with social media and our devices to our kids.

This is how it has worked for ages. If you think about it for a bit, I think you'd come up with all kinds of reasons for why this can't be done with just server-side signals.

For example, how do you account for skipping over already fetched parts of the video or rewatching the same section multiple times?

Or for the entire video being cached and researched? For bots downloading the video?

The idea that this is some malicious anti-adblocker time bomb implanted a decade ago is preposterous.

Meh..not as much as you hope or expect. There is a popular channel on youtube @ErikTheElectric who does these huge food challenges, but also tons of cardio like marathons and 100-mile bike rides, to try to offset it. He weighs 170. At his height I weigh 15 lbs less, simply from eating less despite doing much less cardio than him. The body is very good at increasing its efficiency in response to exercise. You will be working your ass off doing cardio, but the weight just not budging much beyond water fluctuations. Many people report this. They will do 20-thousand steps and stop losing weight after a few days.

As for muscle, a pound only burns 11 calories/day. You'd have to gain 20 lbs of muscle, basically become a bodybuilder, just to offset a KitKat. The math is pretty depressing.

I live in Toronto, Canada and have my entire life, and have been open about this.

I am not defending fascism; my entire point is that this is not fascism.

I disapprove of Trump as president. More than that, I care about fairness. If there is a bias in who I defend, it is because of a bias in who is attacked, and in whose attacks gain respect and notoriety, and in whose criticisms follow from the evidence.

Personal attacks are not, to my understanding, considered acceptable here.

> The sign calls for Anthropic to “stop the race to artificial general intelligence”

This strikes me as... weirdly misdirected, perhaps even actively counterproductive.

1. It vastly overstates their product/positioning in a way that's basically free marketing for them.

2. It distracts from much realer (but less dramatic) harms that can be blamed on the companies.

Imagine someone protesting outside Doordash, with a sign saying: "Don't let home-cooking skills become extinct!!"

Buy a bambu P1s, a 0.4mm hardened nozzle for CF filaments, and maybe a filament dryer. You'll have a tool to spit parts out instead of a hobby in and of itself[0]. Bambu isn't the least evil company, but it's honestly just that good.

It regularly shocks me that AMD doesn't release their cards with at least enough CUDA reimplementation to run DL models. As you point out, AI applications use a tiny subset of the overall API, the courts have ruled that APIs can't be protected by copyright, and CUDA is NVIDIA's largest advantage. It seems like an easy win, so I assume there's some good reason.

> Devout Christians like Kirk who say things like Kirk did genuinely believe that they are expressing kindness rather than hatred by doing so.

They are allowed to believe that saying their souls will be eternally damned is a kindness just as the subjects are allowed to believe that it is unkind. It is disrespectful to continue to say given that context. Christianity's version of the Abrahamic God will look poorly on Kirk and his ilk and His Judgement will have them burn eternally in Hell for their espoused beliefs and the pain and suffering they help cause. They should repent and seek to learn the error of their ways.

But there are people who do care.

The problem is AIs also don't have copyright for the material they are trained on.

> In fact, if the code is any good, it should be impossible to tell if it was written by AI at all.

Do you mean, if somebody can successfully hide the fact they used AI, all concerns go away because nobody will be able to tell anyway?

Anytime I see this stuff, I get nostalgic for Norton Commander (it was HUGE in the USSR when I was a kid learning computers in the late 80s and early 90s)

But somehow the reality of how I - and I think most people - use computers today is very different. I don't find myself navigating a shallow directory hierarchy and making file operations too often. A part of it is that all the stuff is in the cloud or at least connected to applications (eg: I am more likely to navigate my coding projects from an IDE than from Shell/MC)

And when I administer eg my home linux system, it seems more likely that I jump to a random far-away directory or edit a specific file, rather than navigating the filesystem MC stye.

I am curious how people are using computers today that MC-like interface is still most suitable.

This is how our security lead is. "I've identified X as a vulnerability, recommended remediation is to remove it." "We literally can't." He pokes around finding obscure vulnerabilities and recommends removing business critical software, yet we don't have MFA, our servers and networking UIs are on the main VLAN accessable by anyone, we have no tools to patch third party software, and all of our root passwords are the same. We bring real security concerns to him like this, and they just get backlogged because his stupid tools he runs only detect software vulns. It's insanity.

In this context, two syntactically-different TMs are considered "essentially the same" if all reachable states are the same up to reordering their labels (except for the fixed starting label A) and globally swapping the L/R directions.

The problem is knowing how many states are actually reachable, and how many are dead code. This is impossible to decide in general thanks to Rice's theorem and whatnot. In this case, it involves deciding all 4-state machines.
