As an outsider, I don't really see Rust having done anything different recently than they weren't doing from the start.

What seems to have changed in recent years is the buy-in from corporations that seemingly see value in its promises of safety. This seems to be paired with a general pulling back of corporate support from the C++ world as well as a general recession of fresh faces, a change that at least from the sidelines seems to be mostly down to a series of standards committee own-goals.

> MIT is taking (lots of) money from federal government.

The People of the United States are getting some of their research business done by MIT, yes. MIT competes for that business. It is not a gift, subsidy or favor to MIT.

Of course grants and contracts have terms. I hope the government can come to terms with MIT because I want the best researchers doing our work.

It is a bit of a humblebrag, like many parenting articles, but it's nice that he made something for his kid even if it basically an effort to pass on his own musical taste rather than investigate what cool new things are happening below the marketing radar of today's industry. I do wonder if it might not have been more involving to just get hold of an old record/cassette player and take the kid to the nearest used music store, but hey.

i agree with you but there is a seeming majority of nba fans who prefer the nba over the highest level of college basketball because of superior skill level

for me: when the competition is good and the skill level is good-enough then go in-person for the best $ value. local college sports are great for this

nba games are very expensive and time consuming to attend. theres another risk where the nba season is so taxing that some of the best players will sit out games to reduce injury risk. buying an nba ticket for a visiting team with a superstar also risks losing value at their whim

this would be a major advance in sports if it works as advertised. even better if it lets me use other apps in the immersion of the game. users could browse the internet or play some game during timeouts and free throws

2.5GbE only started gaining steam when cheap Realtek chips became available (especially since the Intel chips that were on the market earlier were buggy). Those have been adopted by almost all desktop motherboards now on the market, and most laptops that still have Ethernet. Embedded systems are lagging because they're always behind technologically and because they have longer design cycles, but it's pretty clear that most devices designed in the last year or two are moving beyond 1GbE and 2.5GbE will be the new baseline going forward.

Wow, so, connecting these dots:

- reducing headcount by 50% down to ~70 people = firing 70 people

- at a generous estimate of total burdened cost of $1M/person/year, that's $70M/year

- which accounts for a full 5 years of that war chest

- and, moreover, "at its lowest point" suggests that perhaps Replit has expanded headcount again since; the article mentions that it has done some acqui-hires.

Levels.fyi shows Replit salaries in the $200k–300k range, so even at a 2× burden rate, I think that this is probably a significant overestimate of the costs.

Firing 70 people when you have $100 million that you haven't touched, have raised money on top of that, and have many years of runway for the people you fired… comes together to paint a picture that is, imho, less than flattering.

It should also be noted that gliders have crazy aspect ratios. Airliner wings are designed for completely different flight envelopes than gliders, it’s all a game of what you optimize for and what trade offs you are willing and/or required to make.

But of course that doesn’t mean that airliners can’t glide well, the Gimly Glider and Air Transat flight come to mind. But gliders can definitely beat an airliner in terms of performance.

> The thing is, smashed stacks are difficult to exploit deterministically or automatically. Even heartbleed, as widespread as it was, was not a guaranteed RCE.

That’s like driving without a seatbelt - it’s not safe, but it would only matter on that very rare chance you have a crash. I would rather just wear a seatbelt!

I had ran to my connecting flight, got on as the doors were about to close up (there were a few people still coming, also running).

I sat down, huffing from the run, I asked the flight attendant for a quick sip of water. I said this:

“Excuse me, sorry to bother you but I just had to run to catch the flight, can I get a sip of water? I’m gonna have a heart attack and die of thirst.” Jokingly but still huffing from the run. The captain heard it. Said a few words to another flight attendant, and off the flight I went.

Hindsight, I shouldn’t have made the comment and should have just gone to the restroom but… lesson learned. Southwest got me on a flight 45 minutes later to get home.

It could be used to scan people's heart rates when they're in a high security line (military check points, airports, embassies) to detect people who are nervous.

I assume some places already use thermal cameras to detect people who are sweating profusely.

Using both together might be a decent way of flagging people who might otherwise slip through security.

Of course there would be many false positives, so it wouldn't be good enough on its own.

I think mentioned elsewhere here, https://github.com/MiczFlor/RPi-Jukebox-RFID is great for this. I did something similar with an opp shop Fisher Price[0] record player, with the RFID reader under the turntable and each 'card' is a laminated record cover with the rfid stuck on it. Lots of good photos of different implementations in their issue threads.

We also use it for kids podcasts (autodownloads them weekly). I added a TTS script that generates a friendly audio message from a text file that can be triggered to play from an alarm or for a specific record. This announces the weather with a Dad joke at the end. I tried to automate the last one with various sources (db, LLM, etc - but felt too cold, so I just dictate it to the server from the phone) and usually add a customised message about our family calendar (wear a jacket for rain. cousins are coming today).

2.4GHz wifi at 40MHz squats literally half of the usabke channels, you speed improvement, very likely you now get 100mbps. If you just disabled 2.4GHz and forced 5GHz you would get the exact same improvement and wouldn't be polluting half of the available frequencies.

Add another idiot sitting on channel 8 or 9 and the other half of the bandwidth is also polluted, now even your mediocre IoT devices that cannot be on 5GHz are going to struggle for signal and instead of the theoretical 70/70mbps you could get off a well placed 20MHz channel you are lucky to get 30.

Add another 4 people are you cannot make a FaceTime call without disabling wifi or forcing 5GHz

There are 16 devices on my WiFi right now and I would've though I was above average. I have a bunch of weird stuff like 3 Raspberry Pis that most households would not have, but I don't have most of the stuff you listed.

I guess I am less "connected" than the average American. Can't say I feel like I am missing out, though.

I think this depends on the context.

If the only way I interact with a service is a single app then I want that app to blend into my phone. I don't care if the Uber app on Android and iOS are the same, I only see one of them. If I have to use a service on many different platforms, I sometimes prefer having a consistent design language, e.g. I like that Slack has a consistent sidebar interface everywhere. I want to go from the browser to tablet to phone and not have anything in a different spot.

If you head over to digital artistry-related subreddits / other forums, they are almost uniformly very strongly against this due to the major UX regressions in iPadOS for their typical use cases (i.e. touch-based multitasking having been ruined)

But yes agreed, it is mind-boggling to me how broadly well-received this has been

Good question, a bit of both, honestly. We’re exploring whether AI can meaningfully reduce the time teams spend diagnosing complex robotics failures. A lot of current tooling stops at visualization, and we’re curious if there’s room for an intelligence layer that helps correlate and triage data automatically. So I’m mostly here to stress test assumptions and learn how practitioners actually work.

I like it, but regardless of one's aesthetic opinions I think an important thing people are missing is the move towards UI elements being overlays on top of content instead of sandwiching or interleaving with content. This is very apparent on some apps like iOS Safari, Maps, etc. The general idea is your app content is a full screen/window canvas and your UI sits on top of it, which allows it to get out of the way of the content. I actually really like this move. The transparency serves a purpose here, it helps retain that full size appearance even when UI elements are visible. The glass effects essentially serve as a way to generate some contrast while still making the underlying content visible. Even with large UI elements on screen like sidebars, you still get the feeling that the content is prominent. I think this is going to influence how I build my own web ui's moving forward.

Please, your employer captures everything you produce for your work. They have your screenshots, emails, chats, git history, Zoom call transcripts, and everything else. You signed off on it too. So save me the "this is ethical" crap. Actually it is ethical because it is much closer to being a blind and unbiased way of gauging utility.

No. Nazwa may be a bait-and-switch scam when it comes to pricing, but they are a big registrar that has to play by the rules set by NASK. I used a small "PHP+MySQL+email+domain" provider, that (as I later learned) was so small they didn't want to fork out a few grands a year to NASK to be a proper registrar themselves, so they instead used another (still shady) registrar under the hood.

1. It makes sense that the business are the ones paying to get listed and vetted. We are now starting to need those blue checkmarks for a reason, some verification process is necessary, and then serving costs.

2. Why? You wouldn't search by business name, but by need. What about "nearby bakeries" or "pop soda" only benefits the better known brands? Indexing by name isn't the only way.

> And if someone violates that rule and is reported, they need to punish that person appropriately, just as they punish for any other violation of stated rules and regulations.

So how and where exactly is it established that a violation has occurred? If not Seal Team Six and DNA testing (the latter wouldn’t solve the problem conclusively in any case). How exactly are you, random bystander, supposed to know if an arbitrary stranger is male or female?

Real people get this judgment wrong about cisgendered strangers all the time, this isn’t a hypothetical. See sibling comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45543644 for a list of cited examples.

Do you intend for the accused to display their genitals as an affirmative defense? To whom? Is every random accusation going to cause an interaction with the police and a gross violation of privacy?

Because that’s what it sounds like you’re suggesting here.

I don't understand the link between the title of the article, and its content. If I summarize their three points:

1. Corporate strategy of OpenAI is becoming a monopole 2. OpenAI is investing in infrastructure because they think they'll have lots of users in the future 3. Making videos on Sora is fun, and people are gonna post more of these.

How does that substantiate "we live in OpenAI's world"? Am I missing something?

Thanks for sharing. Seeing related issues and PRs seems like a useful feature. Though it would be better if the extension could somehow determine and show the related issues and PRs to the current issue/PR, instead of listing all open tabs.

But I find the other two features to be less useful, personally. I tend to do all writing in my favorite text editor (where I'm writing this now), which is already configured with syntax highlighting, and all my editing preferences. I can save my work at any time, and always have a local copy of it. In contrast, typing in textareas is a cumbersome and risky experience no matter how friendly the UI is. One wrong click or keypress could waste minutes or hours of your time. We all have our workflow preferences, of course, but I would encourage any technical person to use their editor instead. If you don't like manually copy/pasting text back and forth, there are browser extensions that automate opening up an editor, and syncing the contents with a specific textearea.

I watched your video walkthrough, and as someone who still uses LLMs exclusively via a conversational UI, it's shocking to me that it took you 7 minutes to update the "corpus" for the LLM, and run several commands, only for the actual fix to be a single-character change in a CSS selector. Sure, the difficult thing is knowing which file and character to change, but given the issue, any developer familiar with the codebase would instinctively know where to look first, and fix the issue in a fraction of that time. Maybe even add a test case for it.

This is far from the efficiency and speed these tools were promised to deliver. Aside from the fact that you admit not having an understanding of the testing framework you vibe coded, when your entire development workflow depends on it. If this is the future of software development, as you claim, what a bleak future it is.

BTW, you have a very nice shed, Ned. :)

...yeah, the second pilot. And in this case, also flight engineer.

IIRC The problem was pretty much aside from errors the cultural issues with pilots, the "lower ranks" wouldn't dare to be assertive to seniority and just voiced the issues they saw without doing anything.

I'm being pedantic but I liked your comment. Most TVs today are giant ARM computers, ~95% of TVs ship with ARM Cortex but only about 35% have some variant of Android.

Most LED backlights are wired in such a way that when one LED fails it bricks a significant portion of the panel backlight. You'll knock out entire rows or huge portions of neighbor backlight LEDs when one fails. Basically it's a cheap way to ensure a whole row of LEDs are the same brightness but the tradeoff is one LED fails and it looks like 5% of your screen went dark.

It seems like a good beginner-intermediate thing that'd be approachable to learn with a basic multimeter and beginner level soldering skills.

> I see extreme issues and regressions literally everywhere

I would claim this is mostly unrelated to 26, and more related to .0. All the tech people that I know, who have experience with Apple OS releases, wait until .1 release to upgrade, for this reason. .0 are always a shit-show, since my first Apple device over 10 years ago. I see .0 as a public beta, and that's what I expect whenever I do decide to install them. I suspect there's some truth to this, where they don't have time to fix everything found in the actual beta.

I upgraded iOS after I discovered that the AirPods Pro 3 lose native integration with iOS 18 and macOS 15. Hated it so much, I sent the AirPods Pro 3 back for discounted AirPods Pro 2 and am considering trading my upgraded iPhone in for the latest model I can get on iOS 18.

I'm going to ride iOS 18 and macOS 15 into the sunset and then leave the Apple ecosystem.

Thank you Apple for this update. You saved me so much money because I won’t buy another Apple product.

I find it unacceptable that people pay that kind of money for iPhones and iPads etc and have to deal with bugs, bubbles, readability issues with a theme that looks like a terrible 2011 android skin. And that’s a trillion dollar company.

Staying on 18, till iPhone dies.

> Yes, the federal government of the United States has always attached conditions to federal funding.

Sure, but that's a very high level of abstraction.

At a lower level, it is far less common (if precedented at all) for the federal executive to attempt to unilaterally impose conditions that violate the Federal Constitution and would require those subject to the conditions to violate federal civil rights law.

People lost their jobs for cheering about someone being killed AND for justifying political violence. Full stop...

That you think anything else is copium of Russian quality. That you think that criticizing Trump would get you fired is absurd. You seriously need to work on yourself. You aren't getting push back for "telling the truth" (which is just repeating questionable things from journalists). You are getting push back for being a terrible human being. So terrible in fact that people are leaving the Dems just because they don't want to be associated with them, not for any policy or something the Reps did.

PS None of this would have hurt the Democratic Party if it wasn't for how you reacted to his death. It was truly the worst thing I have seen in US politics in my lifetime.

> You should make your applications good native citizens

It's time to retire this dead meme. The most successful SAASes in the world are just websites that people pay for hand-over-fist regardless of what OS they use. Netflix doesn't use Liquid Glass, Spotify doesn't bother. Google Docs isn't going to inherit it and probably neither will Office 365. Websites online by-and-large won't adopt this design either.

The ideal of everyone taking the time to make a sexy native UI is appealing. But it's never going to fully be realized, especially when OEMs resist basic A11Y obligations and insist on battery-draining eye candy.

I don't think Rust will ever be as big as C++ because there were fewer options back then.

These days Go/Zig/Nim/C#/Java/Python/JS and other languages are fast enough for most use cases.

And Rust learning curve doesn't help either. C++ was basically C with OOP on steroids. Rust is very different.

I say that because I wouldn't group Rust opposition with any of those languages you cited. It's different for mostly different reasons and magnitudes.

Naively as an outsider, this situation seems like everything worked as intended?

I don't remember all of the rules off the top of my head, but if you are ever landing with less than 30 minutes of fuel, something has gone seriously wrong. You are required to take off with sufficient fuel to fly to your destination, hold for a period of time, attempt a landing, fly to your alternate, and land all with 30 minutes remaining. If you are ever in a situation where you may not meet these conditions, you are required to divert immediately. In choosing your alternate, you consider weather conditions along with many other factors. This was, without question, a serious emergency.

From the very brief description in the article, I would say they should have diverted to Manchester at least 25 minutes sooner than they did. I will include the GP's caution, however:

I'd be very wary to get ahead of the investigation and make speculative statements on how this could have happened, the one thing that I know for sure is that it shouldn't have happened, no matter what.

I've read Sanger's article and in fact I acknowledge what he calls systemic bias, and also mentioned hidden cliques in my earlier comment, which are unfortunately a fact of human society. I think Wikipedia's consensus does represent the nonextremist consensus of English speaking, extremely online people; I'm fine with sidelining extremist beliefs.

I think other opinions of Sanger re: neutrality, public voting on articles, etc, are debatable to say the least (I don't believe people voting on articles means anything beyond what facebook likes mean, and so I wonder what Sanger is proposing here; true neutrality is impossible in any encyclopedia; presenting every viewpoint as equally valid is a fool's errand and fundamentally misguided).

But let's not make this debate longer: LLMs are fundamentally more obscure and opaque than Wikipedia is.

I disagree with Sanfer

It's more like

* enough reserve to waste some in traffic. On top of that * enough reserve to find gas station. On top of that * enough reserve to drive to neighbouring city for gas station. On top of that * enough to cruise 30 minutes around that neighbouring city looking for other gas station in case the previous ones were closed. On top of that * enough station to run around parking lot looking for space to park

Beyond that, it’s buggy and inconsistent. In dark mode, text boxes suddenly become light mode when they expand to add a second entry line. Buttons aren’t aligned within their containers properly. Some times buttons are in light mode when my phone is in dark mode, or if I open an app, it starts out in light mode and then suddenly switches to dark mode after a second or two. There is a noticeable lag when I back out of a message before it loads the other conversations in iMessage.

I think I had tracked 15+ things I would easily qualify as bugs the first two days after upgrading my phone - this would be absolutely unacceptable where I work, and we aren’t a trillion-dollar company with psychotic hiring standards.

Was this even QAed? I don’t like the look, but that’s a personal thing, these are actual issues that are not subjective.

As a suburban California homeowner living 2 blocks away from a heavy rail transit terminus (the zone allowing maximum development, as I understand the law), I cannot wait for it to kick in and to see the changes it brings forth.

CEQA made sense at the time, and probably still is a good thing to control certain kinds of development, but blocking infill density-increasing multi-family housing does not really compute for me.

Most of my neighborhood, a non-city city of 100,000 people or more, has over the years decided to ignore the zoning, and build out makeshift garage conversions and single story housing structures. This indicates how hungry the market is for housing.
