That only works when the governing party cares about governing.

The Republican Party has made it painfully clear over the past decade that they care more about winning than governing. The initial stages of this were when they vowed not to let any of Obama's priorities pass, to "make him a one-term president" (in their own words).

They have to win, and they have to punish the loser.

Entertaining, almost insightful!

Disappointed at: >It wouldn't have worked anyway

Feedback:

Motivation comes from "this stuff is nuts, but it could work"

Meaning from: "That was nuts, but it worked"

Between the two, it's a chore to get a bunch of homsaps to agree on exactly what is nuts OR what's possible. AI could definitely help with sanity checking the contentious stuff without always giving great reasons so that we may cross it off either of two lists quick.

(Governments need a third list for prioritising the new instances of Thomas Midgley Jr to put in the airlock)

Looks fun! I recently updated my Nim wrapper for esp32 for esp-idf 5.5 [1]. I've been wanting to play with a graphics device, maybe via Tactility..

Also the integrated usb-phy on newer esp32s is pretty handy. I setup a driver to do PPP (!) connection over a USB-CDC serial port with a second serial port for logging [2]. All in 200 lines of Nim and a few Codex/GPT5 prompts.

I got a multithreaded MsgPack RPC server over the PPP connection using IPv6. Unfortunately you can't use CDC mode and USB JTAG, so I have a little rpc based binary uploader.

Why? Sometimes you don't know how ahead of time how many references to a thing your program will need.

For example, consider a program that reads in a git fast-import stream. The first commit creates a file named README.txt. How many more commits will touch the same path? You’ve no idea, of course, but it could be hundreds of thousands. Do you want hundreds of thousands of individual strings all containing that same filename? That would be fine in the first draft of your program, but in the long term it is too big of a cost to pay (believe me, I know). So you want some kind of pool to store filenames. It could be a grow-only arena, so that you can use plain references, or a mutable pool using reference counting (Arc obviously).

Rust gives you the power to start writing your program using ordinary strings for filenames (or OsStr, obviously), and then later graduate to something both more complicated and more efficient just by swapping out the implementation of one type.

I know some large financial institutions that still use it. They were building big systems using the stuff in the 90s and early 00s. It still works and nobody has the appetite to rewrite it as it's a massive undertaking that would be very expensive and high risk. Better to just keep updating it to support the occasional new requirement.

They'll rarely advertise it in a job listing of course. They're looking for people with Java/C#/C++/Python experience, and there's certainly plenty of that, but also thousands of little Perl scripts doing ETL workflows.

His vitality curve idea resulted in the termination of over 100,000 at GE.

Over 100,000 people. That's only one company, and only during his tenure.

Now add up all the terminations at every company that adopted his corporate astrology bullshit. Millions of people and the number increases every year.

How many of those people went into financial hardship, homelessness or even worse? All because of 1 person.

To put things in perspective, you could fire every working person in all of New York City and you would have fired less people than the result of his destructive legacy.

it's "SPR AVS", a new _protocol_ of course (a "chip" cannot replace protocol like bluetooth). Key quote:

> At this point, it's not entirely clear if this is an entirely new connection tech (like NFC, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, ...) or merely a new Bluetooth protocol (like AVRCP, A2DP, SBC, ...). What is know is that it does not look to be a universal replacement, but rather a complementary option for cases where higher performance is needed.

Trust me, there will be plenty of actors who will agree to that for $10K now plus something like 0.05% of box office later for every movie, just because they are broke.

I guess studios won't even need to do that, they will crank different versions of movies and A/B test them until perfection, with completely artificial characters, for different audiences.

You need to give credit where credit is due, if you are presenting someone else's work and they put in the majority of the work you must share that. Yes you may have been part of it and perhaps even reviewed it, but you must give them significant credit.

Nobody likes people who take credit for others work and it will be quickly found out. Particularly if the work gets critiqued and you are asked to stand by it.

This isn't some fancy law, but general decency.

Oh I am not upset about it, as I said elsewhere that it was their prerogative to do it which is why the dems own it. I think it’s a bad/stupid strategy, because for a shutdown to be a threat, the other side needs to not want it at all. Russell Vought is salivating over this to cut jobs, Schumer knows this (which is why he caved in March).

This was a political Pascal’s wager for Trump, win or break even. For the dems there isn’t even a neutral result to forcing the shutdown—it’s just all bad.

McConnell played the ace that Harry Reid passed him. Unconventional and breaking with tradition, of course, but ultimately “advice and consent” meant exactly that. The senate withheld consent for Merrick Garland. There is no doubt that given the opportunity again one day, the dems will do the same thing. Hell, it was their idea.

Sizing up the military is going/inviting the military leaders multiple times to figure out if they will stand with you in the case of a coup. That’s not what the South Korean president did. Many people here confuse a coup to a direct seizing of power and the president declaring himself a dictator. A coup is fast but gradual seizing of power that starts by seizing one element (ie: law enforcement of a state, a senator, an official, etc.) gradually to seizing the courts.
Show HN: Notestorm – a privacy-first AI scratchpad I made for quick idea dumps
by wastu | 2025-10-02 03:09:28+00:00
Hey all, I made simple note app for quick note-taking with AI text completion (just like GitHub Copilot) to get contextual writing suggestions that match the tone and voice.

I skip words or sentences often when I brainstorm. They're on the tip of my tongue but won't come out, and by the time I find them, I've lost my train of thought. So I made Notestorm where I can continue writing without breaking the flow.

Features: - Clean, markdown editor with VSCode keybindings - AI autocomplete that mirrors your writing style - Local-first. Notes saved in IndexedDB, no servers, no accounts - Works offline. nothing leaves your machine unless you use your own API key.

I use it for: - Brainstorming ideas before they're ready for my "real" notes - Drafting emails/messages quickly (then copy to Gmail) - Any temporary writing that I'll delete after copying elsewhere

Try demo (GPT OSS 20B 128k) or use your own key (OpenAI/Anthropic/Google/Groq).

I would argue that the ending of the book is optimistic despite the event that precedes it. An imperfect father wants the best for his child, and does the best he can with the hand he's dealt. In a dying world of cannibals and worse, there are people who are good, and whose surroundings don't poison their view on what it means to be good. "Do you carry the fire?" is, to my mind, an incredibly optimistic sentiment.

Pretty sure with xtensa and gcc you can compile to PIC. Google says a linker only would need to modify the Global Offset Table and Procedure Linkage Table. That doesn't sound too terrible.

Also 260kB of RAM on a 32bit processor could be a fair bit of code. Plus you could write it to external or internal flash. Though I don't know if esp-idf supports XIP (Zephyr does).

>Note https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-bill/2436 - this would reclassify it from a civil to a criminal offense, but did not pass into law.

I stand corrected, thanks.

>You should note that nobody calls the people who put them there 'illegal drivers'. (We also don't apply that moniker to people speeding, failing to signal on a lane change, or being responsible for many other moving violations. We do apply it to people driving drunk or without a license - which are criminal offenses.)

Nobody calls them "illegal" drivers because there's a more specific term, specifically "driver who parked illegally" or "speeder". The latter already incorporates an implication if illegality, and the former is basically the same as "illegal driver" but with slightly different phrasing. The equivalent for immigrants would be "person who immigrated illegally", but that's basically the same as "illegal immigrant". I suppose you can try to use the latter term as an attempt to destigmatize the term, but that feels like the whole "autism vs people with autism" thing from a few years ago all over again.

>He didn't correct himself and no one else bothered to correct him in the whole room. It's pretty explicit at this point.

No, it's pretty obvious that it's a flub, given that he's clearly reading from a script and has a prepared billboard behind him that says "sex abuse -40%". If flubbing a line and not correcting it counts as "explicit", then what do we call it if someone straight up says that he supports pedophiles? Super-duper explicit? "He flubbed a line and didn't correct it" falls right in the same alley as "dogwhistling" accusations, which also often accompanied with insistence that "he knew what he was trying to say" and "if he wasn't dogwhistling he would have worded it differently".

>Why are we still giving the benefit of the doubt at this stage?

I'm not giving the benefit of the doubt, I'm just pointing out that it's not "explicit".

The point was that teachers earn less than what they could get in other jobs in the same area.

Comparisons should be based on the lifestyle the compensation enables rather than some abstract numbers. People generally have the greatest need for money when they are buying a home, starting a family, and raising kids. Money in hand today is much more valuable than mandatory retirement benefits you can only enjoy decades later.

Hegseth isn't an elected official, so nothing I said about elections is applicable to him. I did make a claim about Hegseth being "well respected by combat vets" which you will notice is different from both "approval rating" and "popularity" and also not at all relevant to the YouGov poll cited above.

I kind of agree with you, but there's more to the picture.

The situation you describe is kind of already the case with various approaches to compression. For example, perhaps we decide to bitpack instead of use the generic compressor. Or change compressors entirely.

This sort of thing exists without WASM, and it means you have to "transcode" i.e. rewrite the file after updating your software with the new techniques.

With WASM, it's the same. You just rewrite the file.

I do agree that this pushes the costs of iteration up the stack in a vastly less efficient way. Overall this seems way more expensive, very unclear that future proofing is worth it. I've worked with exabyte-scale systems and re-encoding swaths of data regularly would not be good.

> you're implying that people who don't want a CoC will actually behave badly, and I don't think that's accurate at all, at least not for the majority

If you fight against a code of conduct, which has a more listed out version of "don't harass people", then you're already acting badly. It's at minimum a red flag. There's very little that should be controversial in a CoC.

> IMO that is just bad leadership... they could (and should) have taken action against abusive people regardless.

It's hard to justify kicking someone out of a community without being able to point to a rule they've broken, which is the entire point of the CoC.

None of us want to have to make these things, or enforce them. We just want to work on projects together. These things exist because shitty people cause problems, and then when we try to eject them, they act like victims. When we set rules up front, then enforce them, it takes part of the problem out of the equation.

It doesn't fully solve the "playing the victim" part, because folks then start claiming they're being selectively targeted, and start pointing out super minor violations often using out of context quotes, but it's impossible to solve for everything.

Sure. Just recently Google was pushing to remove XSLT in Chrome. Flash is a bit of a different beast but it died long ago.

However I don't think it matters too much. Here WASM is not targeting the browser, and there are many more runtimes for WASM, in many diverse languages, and they outnumber browsers significantly. It won't die easily.

I get the appeal — Sheets is insanely flexible and quick to hack together workflows. I’ve seen entire businesses basically run on it. The tradeoff I’ve noticed is that as client work scales, you start spending more time managing the sheet than the actual work. Curious — do you use it mainly for tracking, or are you also handling things like scheduling/invoicing inside Sheets too? I’ve always wondered where the tipping point is between ‘this is efficient’ vs ‘this is duct tape holding everything together’

I don't think he meant to not try. I think he meant you shouldn't have to try. Trying implies some resistance or conformity. To him, art and creation was something that was there and natural. You just did it. You were mad with it [1].

It reminds me of nights when I was a teen hacking away at some computer games or writing my first emulator. There was no class, no jira tickets, no books. Just a teen struck with a madness.

Trump is threatening [and/or has tried to fire] people who report accurate numbers to the government?

As to how the losses happen, well, let the current US regime be exhibit A of how to shed jobs lol. Like are we really to think Trump's personal insistence on ~100,000 federal layoffs doesn't affect the workforce numbers? Like things already weren't good in the last two administrations...

> if there was an evolution pathway to wheels

It's hard to see one. Even a nice flat world with ample incentive and taking good "bearings" for granted, how can you evolve a wheel-organ that maintains a biological connection as well as being able to rotate an indefinite number of time?

A few difficult and grotesque endpoints:

* The wheel only rotates a fixed number of times before the creature must pivot and "unwind" in the opposite direction. This one seems most plausible, but it's not a real wheel.

* The main body builds replacement wheels internally (like tooth enamel) and periodically ejects a "dead" wheel which can be placed onto a spoke. This option would make it easier to generate very tough rim materials though.

* A biological quick-release/quick-connect system, where the wheel-organ disconnects to move, but then reconnects to flush waste and get more nutrients.

* A communal organism, where wheel-creatures are alive and semi-autonomous, with their own own way to acquire nutrients. Perhaps they would, er... suckle. Eeugh.
