> When you're the first to pull up to a red light, the car stops and waits, then after a while it sometimes (maybe 1 time in 100 or so) just decides to go even if the light is still red.

I'm curious what's going on there, because I would have assumed they'd treat the red light as a hard "you're stopped now and absolutely may not go again without affirmative signal (green light or driver intervention)" state. It seems pretty weird that it would just... decide to go, after a bit, on its own, without anything telling it to.

There’s kidnapping, imprisonment, torture and rape of political dissidents.

They created an exodus of 8 million people.

Starved the population.

Killed people in the thousands in the favelas and other poor areas without a trial.

Steals elections.

To me that’s a regime at war with its own population and it deserves all the condemnation possible and all the support necessary to help transition back to democracy.

An acquaintance who used to be active on reddit watched an angry mob "dox" his long-time pseudonym (they found a real person by the same name) with instructions to harass his employer and calls for IRL assault. Shortly afterward, his account was permabanned and he was unable to create a new one from the same IP.

This wasn't just a reddit problem, Twitter had plenty of the same cancel campaigns.

Great! There is little reason for loan industry and money deposit services to be coupled.

Banks lobbying for their free money from deposits is one of the reasons financial start-ups fight an uphill battle. Even though their business is less risky (no loans) they have fewer rights.

Hundreds of millions of people are not getting their deserved interest on the savings because banks managed regulatory capture.

This is the only valid and reasonable criticism I've seen here so far, kudos to you.

299 is, indeed, inaccessible for many people. But, the devs live in places where things cost more, so its also a tiny price compared to the relative value that they provide.

I do think that some sort of geo-relative pricing structure would be worth looking into, but how does one even implement something like that? Is there something that makes it all "just work"? I suspect not. Moreover, the devs have already given away so much of their time - it doesnt make much sense for them to invest even more of it into designing a pricing system like this, from which they are going to possibly earn only a negligible amount from. Perhaps this is a problem that you might like to address yourself?

Anyway, the devs are very clear that most people should never need the Pro license. 95+% of the functionality and value is available for free in the open-source library. Use it, enjoy it, learn from it, profit from it!

> If it can behave

The thing about morality is its about how you "should" behave not how you "can" behave.

> If it can exist as a safe space for MAGAs, the rest of us are free to create a safe space from MAGAs.

If you think its a-ok when /r/conservative does it, then by all means sure. I mostly object to the hypocrisy here. The original comment found /r/conservative's mod policy objectionable. Either it should be ok for everyone or it should be ok for noone. The part i'm objecting to is the implicit idea that its ok when people you like do something but not ok when people you don't like do it.

As long as you apply your moral views consistently i'm fine with it, regardless of whatever they are.

In my opinion, because there’s no core principles behind anything. jQuery was nice because it presented a nice API on to of the DOM. There was just this single layer that both your code and the libraries rely on.

But now there’s no unifying principles behind anything. No conventions. It’s just incantations to get thing working nicely together. It’s all preprocessing and post processing, code generation an what not.

> Employer sponsored health insurance plans are popular and also give good vibes.

This sounds so crazy to me that I feel like something got miscommunicated.

Who has good vibes about their health insurance? In America?

It's not the "aesthetic experience". It's about paying fairly and progressively in a predictable way via taxation, vs. completely unpredictable billing in the US. Is it in network? Is it pre-authorized? Did your doctor code it correctly? Is it below your deductible? Is there a copayment? What mystery charges will there be? What will insurance refuse to cover, wrongly? How many rounds of appeals will you have to go, over how many months? Not so good vibes.

> When you delete a file from Windows 11 on a typical hard drive, the file isn't deleted immediately. Instead, the operating system tells the hard drive it can overwrite the physical area of the disk where that data was stored the next time it needs to perform a write. This is why it's possible to undelete files (and why deleting files in Windows doesn't typically clear much physical disk space until you empty the recycling bin).

I think the author is confusing move to trash (which is just updating directories) and marking sectors as available which means they may/will be overwritten when needed.

On the one hand I feel stupid asking what I think are the obvious questions. On the other hand I don't feel stupid because there's no way a lot of people know the answer to these questions:

Is this "digital currency" actually just the Euro? If it is, aren't the Euros in bank's computer also digital? And why are these things given as understood by everyone when journalists write about the subject?

You're reinforcing the quote. You're questioning the conditional part of the quote, the "if we can do it" part. If they actually couldn't do it, then they couldn't afford it. And that's what Keynes said.

Your second criticism performs the standard hijack. The natural follow on is "if we can do it, and we can afford it, should we do it"? Should we do it is the right question to ask. Just because we can and we can afford it, doesn't mean we should do it. But far too many people try to squelch the debate by asserting that we can't afford it. We can afford universal health care or a modest UBI or a green new deal or whatever expensive thing that the left wants. Whether we should is the question, not whether we can.

You not knowing who ThePrimeagen is, or the size of his following/influence, is a 'you' problem, not a 'me' problem.

Belief perseverance together with confirmation bias (and maybe a dash of ego protection) does indeed make for a powerful combo.

Perhaps if I were to see a duck walking in the woods, instead of proclaiming that I see a duck, I should instead assert "I see something that looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, but I lack the genetic evidence this animal is indeed a duck, therefore I must assert only that I have witnessed something duck-like"

I've provided plenty of evidence for you to at least admit my claim is eminently plausible, and I tend to believe that even if I were to go out and collect the hard data you so desperately desire, you would still fall back on a "Well, you shouldn't have made such an off-hand comment so confidently unless you had the hard data"

This seems less interested in actual evidence of whether hundreds of sales (such a huge, hyperbolic number for a company estimated to sell orders of magnitude more devices) were driven by the Omarchy+Framework hype train, and more attempting to win an internet debate about whether we can make claims based on our lived observations.

You're creating a false dichotomy. It is true that Venezuela is very poorly governed, and it's also that the the US is doing everything they can to prevent Venezuela from monetizing their natural resources, oil in particular, in order to try to inflict economic suffering on the common people. This is the whole sadistic, and nonsensical, point of sanctions - inflict suffering on common people in hopes they'll blame their government instead of people inflicting suffering on them, overthrow their government, and then align themselves with the people inflicting suffering on them.

Without US sanctions Venezuela, and Venezuelans, would be in a dramatically better place today.

Please don't follow this advice! The best thing about old school Python was that I could reliably pull up the documentation for a library and it would clearly list the arguments and return values for each function.

Now when I look at the documentation for many JavaScript, and even Python, libraries it's just examples. That's great if I'm trying to just throw something together as quickly as possible, but not if I need to fix a problem or actually learn the library.

Also having examples is fine, but they should be considered a bonus; not documentation.

It wouldn't take more queries if the comments were cached. It could probably be done entirely in memory, HN's entire corpus can't be that large.

If one were to start at the page endpoints (eg /topstories) one could add references to origin ids while preloading comments, and probably cover the most likely to be referenced ID, and even make traversal up the tree even more efficient.

I understand it sincerely.

Is there some middle way that I could use these datastar attributes/paid offerings via lets say 5$ but I wouldn't get support from the team itself.

I think that they might have a discord server as well and so I am more than okay to take support from the community itself if I can be honest...

Simply because like me and others, we simply can't pay 299$ when we don't require support.

Could another tier be created that allows people to use it but just without any official support in the sense that maybe you could create github issues or something about it but don't expect mission critical of sorts...

I hope you can see things from my perspective as well & I know some companies / projects which also do something similar where they offer support seperately / at a higher price but using the product itself doesn't cost you / costs you very little and you can always use unofficial-ish help.

What are your thoughts? Do you think that datastar could integrate something like this?
by bawolff | 2025-10-10 12:36:30+00:00
I'm more trying to say, if you find it wrong that r/conservative does it, then you shouldn't do it yourself. Other people's bad behaviour should not be a justification for you own.

When it comes to morality, we can't control how other people act, we can only control what we ourselves do.

Especially when the "retaliation" is aimed at members and not the people implementing the mod policy.

They're not even running a business on this - its literally registered as a 501c3 nonprofit. Its a labour of love that theyve shared with the world, and they actively tell people that the pro features are unnecessary for most projects. If you want those features or just want to support the project, the cost is quite fair, and just goes to things like traveling to do conference talks etc... They are not getting rich off of this.

Also, they intend for v1, which will be released soon-ish to be essentially the final version of Datastar. There wont be a need for much further development. So there's minimal risk of "rugpull" or even abandonment.

In this _particular_ case, the accidents seem to be the thing just breaking lights (specifically, stopping for the light, but then starting again while it's still red for no obvious reason), so presumably more shoddy software than anything else; this is something that they _should_ be able to manage on cameras.

I'd agree in the general case, but better sensors likely wouldn't have saved them here.

> Not law per se. More like contractual obligations taken upon by connecting to the flight's WiFi.

Well, being pedantic, you could be said to be breaking Civil Law. :)

Jest aside, IANAL but most western countries have some sort of Criminal Law relating to mis-use of computers.

A brief search for Canada reveals Criminal Code (R.S.C., 1985, c. C-46)[1].

Again IANAL, but from my reading in this scenario it would be (c) -> (a), "uses or causes to be used ... a computer system" to "obtains, directly or indirectly, any computer service".

Memory is a tremendous thing.

Most people (including me) perceive Amazon based on their 20-year history with it; same day delivery for free, exceptional delivery and service, good prices, etc.

But that is the past; the current reality is boring or expensive prices, crappy shipping and service tending toward shitty, and better deals to be found elsewhere; either target or Walmart on the “high” end or Temu or Aliexpress on the cheap Chinese shit end.

The most important thing for me to break the bonds was to cancel prime. Every time they try to coerce me back in strengthens my resolve to check everywhere else first.

> This is effectively already the case in parts of Scandinavia

Ironically this isn't quite as consequence-free as some people thought:

"In 2018 a former deputy governor of Sweden’s central bank predicted that by 2025 the country would probably be cashless.

Seven years on, that prediction has turned out to be pretty much true. Just one in 10 purchases are made with cash, and card is the most common form of payment, followed by the Swedish mobile payment system Swish, launched by six banks in 2012 and now ubiquitous. Other mobile phone payment services are also growing quickly.

In fact, according to the central bank’s annual payments report, published this month, Sweden and Norway have the lowest amount of cash in circulation, as a percentage of GDP, in the world.

But in the context of today, with war in Europe, unpredictability in the US and the fear of Russian hybrid attacks almost a part of daily life in Sweden, life without cash is not proving the utopia that perhaps it once promised to be.

Such is the perceived severity of the situation that the authorities are trying to encourage citizens to keep and use cash in the name of civil defence..."

What he is being accused of is a tiny fraction of what has been proven to have taken place in Gaza, under the protection of the west.

Yet the aircraft carriers are poised in the gulf to enact a third regime change operation in this oil rich country America wants under its thumb with a puppet running it.

This is the PR campaign beforehand, just like the "WMD" PR campaign in the run up to Iraq, with a woman who supports genocide in Gaza (https://x.com/VenteVenezuela/status/1286346531591852036 ) being lauded with a nobel peace prize. This is probably to lend her legitimacy when she becomes that puppet.

Saddam was a bad man too but he was an average evil. The warmongers who want to destabilize every country with oil, send in the tanks and install yet another Western puppet to maintain an iron grip on global oil supplies are a very special and unique kind of evil.

My suspicion is that the training set features a lot of code with “positive sentiment” in text and comments around it… but where does one find code with “negative” sentiment, followed by code that is the “corrected” version of that code? In programs written for technical interview prep, where handling of edge cases beyond realistic production situations is the norm. A model trained to use negative examples in its training set as guidance would gravitate away from examples that skip exception handling.

In this, at least, AI may very well have copied our worst habits of “learning to the test.”

> The site also describes a from-scratch options for “if your app has constraints not well-served by existing frameworks, you prefer to build your own framework, or you just want to learn the basics of a React app”, with specific instructions for Vite, Parcel, and RsBuild.

Just that before those specific instructions is again a big "deep dive" box that recommends "consider using a framework".

And yes, I can get the arguments about a easy to get started focus but React is also a more foundational library that has many uses outside of frameworks. Should cppreference.com recommend using QT or MDN and Node.js homepages recommend using Next because "it's easier to get started" ? sure, a tad hyperbolic examples but on the same par.

Even without data events, there are clues you could infer from management events that somebody is going through buckets. ListBuckets and GetBucketLocation are management events and are seen often by someone enumerating buckets to exfil data from. The fact that this actor was someone very familiar with the account might make this a moot point though as they would know exactly which bucket to go to and what region its in.

LibrePhone will focus on creating a fully open mobile platform from the ground up.

Hardware --- why this PC/software minded approach just won't work with phones.

Phone hardware is all unique and proprietary and cheap (relatively speaking) --- due to manufacturing expertise and economies of scale. And the manufacturers like it this way.

Without this production/scale advantage, any "open" phone will cost 3-4x more for comparable performance. In other words --- it is destined to be a very niche market product.

The only hope for a mass market is to find a volume manufacturer willing to play along. Good luck with that.

Good things are good and bad things are bad - this fact is commonly forgotten.

If mainstream media had censored Adolf Hitler at the time, the Holocaust and the war in Europe might have been prevented. On the other hand, if they'd censored Winston Churchill, the Holocaust and the war in Europe might have been worsened.

It's like the argument for deregulation. Well, good regulations are good and there should be more of them; bad regulations are bad and there should be less of them. There's can be no serious argument for whether the number of regulations to go up or whether it should go down - that should entirely depend on each individual regulation being good or bad. Any argument that all are good or all are bad is pure irrational ideology.

I like the ones I think are good and I don't like the ones I think are bad. That's not a double standard - that's rationality. Besides what I think, there is also usually an objective measure of goodness or badness, but it's a lot harder to get at. I am not flipping a coin to think something is good or bad - I am estimating whether it's objectively good or bad. Am I a good estimator? Hard to tell.

I am basically that guy at a small startup: the founder dev built a great tool, but he needed help marketing it, making lead-driving content, etc.

My advice is to look for people that have worked in marketing roles at small companies and startups. This means less than 20 or 30 people total at the company. Any more than that and the roles become too specialized and not broad enough to be the generalist marketing/sales person you likely need.

These are probably not people that have worked at extremely well-funded startups or Google/Amazon/etc. Instead they are more likely to be in "less cool" industries like WordPress, boring B2B software, etc.

That's a great question, and it's a core design goal for Nanowakeword.

The short answer is: it should be very easy.

Since Nanowakeword is designed to be a full framework, the plan is for it to have an inference API that is largely compatible with how openWakeWord works. My understanding of the HA pipeline is that it's a Python-based system.

In theory, the steps would be: 1. `pip uninstall openwakeword` and `pip install nanowakeword`. 2. In the relevant Home Assistant Python script, change the import from `from openwakeword import ...` to something like `from nanowakeword import Model`. 3. Instantiate the model with the path to your custom `.onnx` file.

The Nanowakeword `Model` class is designed to handle the necessary audio preprocessing (feature extraction) internally, so you shouldn't need to worry about manually replicating it. The `.onnx` models are already compatible.

While I haven't tested the Home Assistant integration myself yet, building a seamless replacement path is a top priority. Your question is a great confirmation that this is what users want. If you run into any issues trying this, please open an issue on the GitHub repo, and I'll be happy to help you debug it.

Thanks!

Obamas was explicitly given as a hope for the future

The committee "thought it would strengthen Obama and it didn't have this effect", Lundestad told the Associated Press, though he fell short of calling the award a mistake.[145] "In hindsight, we could say that the argument of giving Obama a helping hand was only partially correct", Lundestad wrote.
