Federal law enforcement officers who swore an oath to the country… not the president. They can and should push back against this shit.

The app doesn’t block them in any way, it just lets people see where they are active. There is no issue or law against that.

He actively disregards laws and standards to push his own agenda. He’s been indicted multiple times, and is a felon. It’s not hysteria, some people can simply see what’s happening in front of them.

He openly admires dictators and desperately seeks what they have, with varying success.

You don’t make me laugh, you make me sad.

> Yes, in any durability framework there's still the possibility that a process crashes mid-step, in which case you have no choice but to restart the step.

Golem [1] is an interesting counterexample to this. They run your code in a WASM runtime and essentially checkpoint execution state at every interaction with the outside world.

But it seems they are having trouble selling into the workflow orchestration market. Perhaps due to the preconception above? Or are there other drawbacks with this model that I’m not aware of?

I remember I last counted iOS and macOS features in 2022, since 2012 I barely count 5 features that is useful to me.

Without Steve Jobs, everyone work with their own incentives, if shipping features is how you get promotion and raise. That is what we end up with.

I know this is controversial take on HN. 10 years spend on Swift and SwiftUI. It would have been better if we continue some small and iterative improvement with both C23 and Objective C.

Every year we see Apple SoC improvements, but my iOS or macOS is still not instantaneous. Safari 18 got better, and now 26 as well. But comparatively speaking it is still behind Chrome and Firefox in terms of responsiveness, and resource usage.

In terms of Design, the Home Screen is still a mess.

Compare to Old Apple, new Apple's rate of improvement and productivity has dropped significantly , with double or triple the resource but half of the execution in terms of Software. ( Hardware they are doing fine if not exceptional )

But if Apple software is really this bad, it just shows Microsoft and Google have been absolutely appalling in the past 10-20 years.

They wrote “In doing so, Israeli authorities are responsible for the crime against humanity of extermination and for acts of genocide” [1].

Thank you for clearing up what the Israeli state officials are responsible for. We are saying the same thing, but you want to dance around it.

Going back in history works better in Fusion360 than FreeCAD currently, but...

In FreeCAD it works but you have to think a bit how you approach it. For example, if you reference an edge that you later on go back and delete, of course it will break things. Also if everything is not correctly constrained and you go back and edit it, it will likely break things. And then there are some bugs as well, but it's free and open source so I am not complaining. :)

Similarly as with mesh modeling, where correct modeling style is needed for smoothing not to break things, with CAD you also have to get used to certain approach to modeling, you can't be as chaotic.

But the more you do it, the better you will become and in my opinion learning proper CAD modeling approach is easier than proper mesh modeling in Blender.

I don't think anyone wants warts. It is a fact that every technology has them, though. And also that every attempt to get rid of warts seems to introduce new, perhaps yet unknown warts. There is a kind of law of conservation of misery here. I think I now have said in a somewhat more clear way what the article is trying to say and without a title that is actually false.

How do you deal with abuse? We recently had to block all of Browserbase, because someone used their platform for AI training. Generally we're fine with scrapers, but we're not equipped to handle the amount of traffic that some of the browser automation sites can generate.

It really sucks to block an entire service, just because a few of its users can't control themselves. At the same time a lot of SaaS providers makes it impossible to report a single user/tenant and getting a paying user banned just isn't happening.

An eternal military occupation, where the GOVERNMENT says - you will NEVER get a country, and you will NEVER be part of our country IS apartheid.

These are direct, unambiguous statements from the Prime Minister and all members of the cabinet. They have said that the Palestinians will NEVER get a state.

So what are you saying then about Israel wanting a two state solution? They have said there will be no state, and they have said they will not give civil rights.

This is apartheid.

If you like to code, OpenSCAD is really the best for simple shapes and my go-to tool for these situations, stuff like making a project box for an electronic contraption.

OpenSCAD however fails spectacularly for any kind of complex filetting situation when compared to tools like Fusion or even FreeCAD (FreeCAD's UI is an abomination though).

The morphological ops in OpenSCAD (minkowski type stuff) are a very poor substitute to real fillets, and are extremely slow (underlying algos are all polynomials in number of triangles) when your objects get complex, and they are global operations, it is extremely hard to limit their action to a localized part of your object.

Even Blender, which was truly never designed for this type of operations can sometimes do better than OpenSCAD for fillets.

Another thing that's a real pain in OpenSCAD: you cannot "probe" (measure) your existing object at a certain stage, grab the result of that measurement and re-use it in the rest of the code. MAJOR limitation.

> They don't talk about genocide, true, but they do talk about the famine they're seeing and the extreme difficulty of getting humanitarian aid into Gaza - causing them to have almost ceased food delivery at the beginning of this year, before finding ingenious new ways of cooking and delivering supplies.

It's much less an issue of getting aid into Gaza and much more an issue of distribution, with most aid being intercepted before reaching the intended destination[3]. Even then I've yet to see any credible evidence that there is a famine, although there are certainly various degrees of food insecurity.

> It's also funny to pick an organization which has suffered one of the most clear and well documented assassinations of aid workers by Israeli forces, the World Central Kitchen attack in 2024. This was one of the cases that even the IDF couldn't invent a justification for (the convoy they killed had been coordinating constantly with them, they had followed the root exactly, etc). They called it a regrettable error, of course.

It's a war, targeting mistakes happen, the IDF generally makes an effort to investigate when these sort of things happen. It quite clearly wasn't a case of the IDF intentionally targeting aid workers. There are simply no incentives or evidence for the IDF to have a policy of deliberately targeting WCK aid workers. Friendly fire incidents where IDF soldiers have been killed have been somewhat common in Gaza in general so it certainly doesn't seem to be improbable that a targeting mistake like this could happen by accident.

> The comic is quite explicit, we don't have to look for implicit innuendo.

Lets go through these and see if they match up with antisemetic tropes as well.

> imperialism

So here we have the "world imperialism"[0] antisemetic trope.

> capitalism

Here we have the "Jewish Capitalism"[1] antisemetic trope.

we even have a "Patriarchy"[2] trope as well

Seems pretty clear to me what the author is doing here.

> While Israel, backed by the USA, is the aggressor in the case of Gaza, the same forces (again, meaning imperialist tendencies, not some conspiracy of "evil Jews") behind other acts of aggression by other states in other places impacted by famine.

This war was started by Hamas on October 7th, it's quite clear they are the aggressor here.

>You really think the French, Swedes, Russians or Chinese won't sell them planes? They're seeking to be a regional power. They don't need F-35s. (Though they're certainly handy.)

The fact we're even having this conversation is the point. Top-end equipment was always guaranteed. The fact you're shopping around mentally for second-best points to that.

>I'll grant that China has been the most consistent on Israel and Palestine. Nevertheless, Israeli-Chinese trade keeps growing.

Well, there's a reason why they've been consistent on it so far. If Israel's trade comes to depend significantly on them, they can use it as leverage against them.

>Really? According to whom? I haven't been in the UN for a while, but everyone I knew was asking when, not if. It clearly works for domestic politics, doubly following the recent trade concessions.

I should have been more specific than a few months ago. Here's what I meant. Many of these countries have no issues against Palestine, but wouldn't break openly with the US position because of how dependent they are. That happening is a vibe shift.

>The U.S. funds about 15% of Israel's defence budget. We allow them to splurge in a way they can't alone. But that just means they can't defeat Hezbollah and Iran and Hamas at the same time without us.

You keep taking my statements out of context, attacking a point I didn't make and then claiming victory. I'm not even addressing US aid to Israel, which is extensive. I'm talking about their economy! Without that trade, the economy will shrink by a lot. The technologists bringing in that FX will move away in large numbers. Spending will have to reduce by half or more, especially given Israel already has a high tax-to-gdp-ratio. The country won't survive it. More high earners will leave and you'll go into a death spiral.

Dozens of UN resolutions have been issued against Israel and vetoed by the US. If it happens without American support, they'll be placed under an intl. embargo until they comply. Ask Iran what intl. embargoes have done to crush their economy before you wave it off. What America offers Israel is both a large export market they don't have internally, and protection from consequences.

Israel is too integrated with the West, going as far as competing in Eurovision, UEFA, etc. If they break with the West, they can't survive it. I cite Rhodesia as an example repeatedly because that's where they slowly but surely ended up.

If you end up with Western sanctions, no matter your country's size, you're fucked. USSR and Maoist China can give you any lectures you want.

The 'chosen people' delusion can make it seem economic realities don't apply, but the earlier Israel can get to a lasting peace while conditions are favorable, the better.

> Indian government claims to have shit down Pakistani jets as well and Pakistan denied it

A lot of folks have looked at a lot of OSINT. There is no evidence of any Indian kills. The best we can say is we have zero confirmed kills by India on Pakistan. For what it's worth, New Delhi seems to have backed off repeating its claims of kills internationally.

> Pakistan claims to have shit down six jets and India says it's 3

India claims three jets crashed for unknown reasons [1]. French and US officials have indirectly confirmed those kills [2][3]. Internationally, it's being treated as three confirmed kills by Pakistan.

ISO 42001 certified.

> ISO/IEC 42001 is an international standard that specifies requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an Artificial Intelligence Management System (AIMS) within organizations. It is designed for entities providing or utilizing AI-based products or services, ensuring responsible development and use of AI systems.

https://www.iso.org/standard/42001

If anyone has access to ISO standards, I'm really curious what the practical effects of that certification is. I.e. what things does Granite have that others don't, because they had to add/do it to fulfill the certification.

The committee was formed in 2017, chaired by an AI expert: https://www.iso.org/committee/6794475.html
Best Fleet Management Tools for Small Operators?
by FleetRabbit | 2025-10-03 06:20:50+00:00
Hi folks,

Managing 10–20 vehicles isn’t easy. Between inspections, maintenance schedules, compliance paperwork, and spare parts, it often feels overwhelming.

I used to rely on manual tracking, but it wasn’t sustainable. Now I use Fleetrabbit (fleetrabbit.com) — it covers inspections, reminders, GPS/fuel integration, and more. It’s been a big help.

I’m curious:

What tools or methods are you using to manage your fleet?

Do you prefer paid software, custom-built solutions, or open-source options?

What’s the one feature you couldn’t live without?

Would love to compare approaches and see what’s working best for others.

It really depends on details.

If intentionally slowing non CUTLASS shaders, sure pitchfork time.

If it's an option that /technically/ breaks the CUDA shader compatibility contract, then enabling it in specific "known good" situations is just business as usual for GPU drivers.

That can be for all kinds of reasons - straightforward bugs or incomplete paths in the optimization implementation, the app not actually needing the stricter parts of the contract so can have a faster path, or even bugs in apps that need workarounds.

Though piggybacking into these without understanding can be extremely fragile - you don't know why they've limited it, and you run the risk of tripping over some situation that will simply fail, either with incorrect results or something like a crash. And possibly in rather unexpected, unpredictable situations.

It’s debatable that it was debunked. There was squirrelly wording about some specific claims. One person was reported to have been offered a package worth a billion dollars, which even if exaggerated was probably not exaggerated by 10x. The numbers line up when you consider that AI startup founders and early employees stand to potentially make well into 9 figures if not higher, and Meta is trying to cut them off at the pass. Obviously these kinds of offers, whatever they really look like, include significant conditions and performance requirements.

Reality: the reconciliations bill is whichever bill they say it is. Budget reconciliation is often used for bills that are not actually budget reconciliations. Republicans fucked up this time. Skill issue.

Also reality: there's a government shutdown because the Republicans want a government shutdown (for some reason). They've ignored so many more important laws already, there's no reason they couldn't ignore the filibuster thing, or just continue spending money without having a budget bill (like they are continuing to spend money on Israel and ICE without having a budget)

Spiritually, Blender is to FreeCAD what Gimp is to Inkscape or what BMP is to SVG. With Blender you're massaging piles of anonymous polygons so they look right aestheticallY, while with CAD you're composing geometric primitives to make a precise blueprint for a 3D object that just happens to be rendered with polygons. The former is better for art while the latter is better for manufacturing.

Earlier this year I set an iPad up for my elderly dad - it was going to be used for podcasts and YouTube, only - and it looked like it was going to be ideal. "What a great feature," I thought!

Except... There is no way to turn off screen rotation. None. It can't be done in the Assistive Access menu, and doesn't respect the setting in normal mode. It just always rotates. I spent an hour on the phone with Apple Support, and there's nothing to be done about it.

My dad couldn't deal with his icons rotating around on the screen, nor not being able to watch videos while lying down. It gathered dust.

Agreed, if for nothing else than its size alone. It is also a target for so many folks to say, "if it was different in this one way, it would be amazing (for me.)"

story credible. channel 12 news is very solid organization and their investigations resulted in a bunch of criminal cases.

essentially ngo established this summer (july/august) new aid distribution network, I think it was at south with it's own drivers, distribution points, etc. during the time when supposedly was impossible to bring aid in gaza, but in reality it was going in.

"local interests" in gaza didn't like it, as NGO wasn't paying protection fees so they killed some of people who helped ngo in gaza and made threatening calls to person who runs NGO demanding payments or that this person will be harmed and distribution will be stopped.

not sure how it all ended. my guess it was "public" ask from military or security services to get involved in some way

> Git clone, problem solved.

What a myopic assumption. Availability of source code doesn't solve the legal problems that can arise in the wake corporate restructuring, as new owners work to impede forking and continuing a project outside their control.

Continuing a project in the wake of total organizational failure or capture means setting up legal entities to replace the broken/subverted ones. That's a problem separate from "is the code out there on the Internet for me to download?"

In comparison to the GPL and AGPL, "fair" source licenses are at best hastily drawn. They certainly do not have decades of accrued favorable legal precedent. They are often short and ambiguous because their authors have not imagined half the use cases they might potentially forbid in the name of "fairness". All these qualities are miasmal to long term project stability.

> ChatGPT has more consumer trust than Google at this point

That trust is gone the moment they start selling ad space. Where would they put the ads? In the answers? That would force more people to buy a subscription, just to avoid having the email to your boss contain a sponsored message. The numbers for Q2 looks promising, sells are going up. And speaking of sales, Jif peanut butter is on sale this week.

If OpenAI plan on making money with ads then all the investments made by Nvidia, Microsoft and Softbank starts to look incredibly stupid. Smartest AI in the world, but we can only make money by showing you gambling ads.

Sorry, but this is just complete numerological nonsense. All novels do not already exist. My proof is that if they already exist you will show me a novel that will come out a year from now today. The act of creation, of ordering words and other symbols in such a way that they convey a particular meaning is a non-trivial exercise to the point that we have created laws and reward structures for the people doing such organization. If we follow your reductive reasoning all media already exist. But they do not. The underlying principle here is the one of ordering, to take a chaotic or boring concept (say, an array of random or blank bits) and to impose order on it so that they take on meaning when used in combination with a suitable interpreter.

This kind of imposing or order is an act of lowering the entropy of the sample in a very specific way, parties that know the 'key' to the sample will be able to experience the sample in a way that parties without the key would not, to them the sample is still boring or random. Your reduction of the act of creation to picking a particular number is belying the fact that absolutely nobody that creates something is picking that number: the number is a carrier, it is not the ideas embedded in it. You could translate that novel (or textbook, or sound or video or any other medium) into other media, descriptive, literal or you could even completely transform it. And there would still be a relationship to the original creation, hence the concept of a 'derived work', which for your numbers example would utterly fail: you could not take that number outside of knowing its meaning and come up with any of these derivations without having the key to decode it.

This kind of reductive reasoning is not helpful, it merely attempts to flatten a whole pile of some of the most accomplished and positive contributions by humanity to the generation of interesting numbers. And it is so much more than that.

Besides all this, any kind of attempt to digitize an actual work of art, rather than just a simple text is going to be a lossy process. You are never going to be able to replicate the original to the point that you have created something that is equal. You may be able to get close but it won't be the same thing. More so for sculptures than for two dimensional art, less so for for instance audio where the replication gear is getting really good. But generation loss is a thing and if you re-create and re-digitize then after a surprisingly low number of such generations you will end up with noise.

Authors, sculptors, painters, even programmers and other creative people are so much more than interesting number generators, even if their works can be encoded or approximated numerically. That's flipping the encoding analogy on its head, the map really isn't the territory.
