The commissioners are not elected by the citizens of their respective countries. Instead, they are selected via a parliamentary vetting process, and approved by the European Parliament.

The commission has no direct responsibility towards the citizens in EU. It is also the European Parliament that scrutinized and votes on the laws created by the commission. The commission job is only to write proposal for laws.

This is a bit like complaining that people have objections about a politician speech and send emails to the politician rather than the employed person who wrote it. Should citizens direct their messages and complaints to speech writes?

You see a large % of failures, but you're drawing an unsupported conclusion.

We all agree, the people that _feel_ the most productivity spike are the sub-par engineers. That shouldn't be controversial, and it's even predictable. But their volume can't be taken as an argument one way or the other.

The question is, are there _any_ good engineers that don't just feel more productive, but objectively are.

I always thought of empathy as being able to really relate, emotionally, to what another person is feeling/going through. As a kid I'd sometimes see people crying together on TV when something bad happens to one of them and wonder if that really happens in real life. Even though it wasn't something that came naturally to me in the past, I still tried to be a decent person and adjust my behavior where relevant, and tried to learn to comfort people even when I didn't really "feel" much. I just had to reason/logic about how a person might feel sometimes rather than intuitively "get" it.

Over the last couple of years, that kind of empathy has stated coming more easily/naturally to me. On one hand it seems to have unlocked a richer range of relatability, but on the other it also seemed to open the door more to anxiety, self-doubt, and other not so easy emotions that I didn't really feel much of before.

More than that, London and Tokyo both have well known exchanges, and large US companies are often listed on both of those as well. If you tried to tell me that no other country has an exchange I'd call you a lair without bothering to fact check you. (My impression is New York, London, and Tokyo are the big ones that matter in the world and everything else is a me too - but in their niche/country they may still be a big deal)

Most smaller companies are just listing on something like NASDAQ, which isn't confined to a city. With modern computers the idea of an exchange in a city is not nearly as useful as it was 150 years ago.
Show HN: ChartPilot – Momentum scanner for stocks, ETFs
by thisisagooddayg | 2025-10-08 13:16:20+00:00
Hi HN,

I’ve been looking into technical analysis for swing trading and ended up building a simple momentum-based system around three classic indicators: EMA, ADX, and Squeeze Momentum.

I first wrote a small Python script to check one ticker at a time. It worked but didn’t scale — thousands of symbols. So I turned it into a web app that scans whole collections and highlights symbols that might be worth watching. It’s not “buy/sell” — more like: “hey, this looks interesting”.

What it does • Scans ~200 high-volume US stocks (S&P 500 / Nasdaq / Dow 30) or 25 ETFs (more coming) • Computes EMA 10/55/200, ADX, Squeeze Momentum • Shows price/close and a simple signal (Bullish / Bearish / Watchlist) • Also includes a crypto collection (not working right now but i will get it ready soon)

Tech stack FastAPI + SQLAlchemy + PostgreSQL + APScheduler Next.js 14 + Tailwind + shadcn/ui Polygon + Finnhub (equities) + Binance/Coinbase (crypto) Hosted on Railway (API) + Vercel (frontend)

There’s a free tier to try it. I’d love feedback: features you’d interested in, that gives value to the product, performance tips, data ideas.

I’m not interested paying to read your study. The bulk of your comment is a non sequitur that conflates “novel, high-quality scientific research” with a single N=58 study that may very well be high-quality, but in any case does not propose a novel course of treatment. It has always been the case that many gender dysphoric children do not receive puberty blockers.

You conflate the European change in medical policy, which still permits the use of puberty blockers to treat gender dysphoria, with American legislative bans that do not permit that. “Not routinely prescribed” is logically distinct from “never prescribed.”

Finally, you misrepresent conversion therapy. “Exploring ways to become more comfortable in one's natural body” is simply an inaccurate description of both conversion therapy as practiced in the past and “gender exploration therapy” as practiced today.

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10018052/

> Proponents of gender-exploratory therapy acknowledge that some consider it a form of conversion practice, paradoxically resenting the suggestion while opposing bans on conversion practices on account that it would prohibit their approach. As for critiques of gender-exploratory therapy, they are presented as evidence of trans health care’s ideological capture. Yet a close comparison of gender-exploratory therapy and conversion practices reveals many conceptual and narrative similarities. How proponents talk about gender-exploratory therapy is nearly identical to how individuals offering conversion practices targeting sexual orientation frame their own work. Despite the language of exploration, gender-exploratory therapy shares more with interrogation, if not inquisition.

Well, anyway. I cannot quote the entire article here.

> You are talking about everything else except the subject: "heritability".

Did you miss the part where the kid does not inherit my having performed a violin recital? "Demonstrated abilities" are not heritable, because they presuppose achievements and you cannot inherit someone's achievements.

I'm starting to think you have some real reading comprehension problems. You're not really even responding to my post—just ctrl-F-ing for the word "heritability" and sneering when it doesn't show up.

> Statistically unrelated different thing?

A different thing. You can't treat concepts interchangeably just because you think there's a relationship between them. The unimportance of aptitude in this scenario was made clear in my next sentence, which I will repeat here because you were not paying attention last time: "Besides, pretty much anyone with working hands can learn to play guitar. It's not really a question of aptitude, it's a question of investing time and money into learning. Most skills are like that."

> What matters is exact statistic.

I'm not going to bother lecturing you on correlation and causation. You wouldn't read what I wrote anyway.

Islamic fundamentalists support the Republican Party in the USA, the AfD in Germany, Reform UK in the UK, etc? Please. They definitely do not exist on the same one dimensional political spectrum constantly harped on about in the West.

Furthermore, I will put it to you that there are a great many people in the "center" who are tired of hearing about the "left" and the "right", have varying opinions on hot topic issues from both sides, and do not fit neatly into these classifications. They just aren't out there screaming in the streets and on the Internet.

This line:

>Tactical brilliance could not guarantee strategic clarity—and each gain came at political and moral cost.

sums up what is wrong with modern conflict --- the abandonment of the moral high ground and a failure to take into account the will of people and their right to self-determination which Jomini (who had displaced Clausewitz after his inculcation at West Point as part of the brutal lessens the U.S. learned in Vietnam) failed to consider, and which Clausewitz took to heart and studied deeply, and thought long on.

It wasn't that long ago that the collapse of the Soviet Union was viewed as "the end of history" and a global acknowledgement that liberal democracy was the means of government most widely accepted --- hopefully articles such as this will be a guidepost to getting back on that track --- every moral failure simply recruits others to fight on the opposite side.

Mostly a great piece. The only thing I need to challenge is the default assumption that leadership is automatically correct that "legibility" is worth all the overhead. Imagine if you brain had to be consciously aware of every breath you take, every time you move a finger, etc... you'd get nothing done. Same deal if a CEO has to be aware of and approve accelerating your unit tests with parallelism or whatever.

I think the reality is that a CEO (sort of like a president) only has about 7% control over a company. The rest of it is everybody they've hired -- they are just the brain not whole the body. However they like to believe that they are the most important thing, and quickly disregard everything they don't have the time or specialty to understand (i.e. seeing engineers as interchangeable when one may be a genius who got into MIT and could be advancing whatever field he works in -- while the other is just some random bro who took a bootcamp).

When people talk about something like google succeeding it's easier to give credit to 2 founders or a CEO than it is to track the dozens of brilliant employees who built the best search/mail/maps/ads/etc platforms

I like Arch-based distros that make setting it up a bit less of a chore, so on my most recent setup I gave CachyOS a try.

It wasn't for me. Too many pre-written config files that make tools work quite differently from their default state. It had a bit of a "script-kiddy" feel to it IMO.

I'll go with EndeavourOS again next time - that one strikes a good balance between not making you work too hard for a running system and preconfiguring everything in a way you might not agree with.
by gambiting | 2025-10-08 13:18:17+00:00
Well obviously, yes, but again, I don't know anyone who looks at it this way. If your salary is £100k and you know your effective tax rate is 35% then you're taking home £65k a year. I don't know how much on top of that my employer is paying in contributions, if it's another £100k on top or zero - and frankly I don't really care? The negotiated salary is £100k/pa and that's what anyone uses as a number of their compensation, if I ask you your salary and you say it's €140k but that's including my employers social contributions......that's just weird? Are jobs advertised this way in France?

Edit:

I just want to add one more thing - this entire comment chain started by OP saying, and I quote "I have over 50% of my income taken from me into a collapsing welfare state/pension system".

The money that the employer pays to have you employed isn't your income, so adding it to your total earnings and saying "well I'm paying 50% of my income to the state" is just not correct. The employer probably pays money for the office and a desk for you to sit at, but it's not your income - it's part of their cost to keep you employed. I will say it again - if those costs dropped down to zero, you wouldn't say your income is now smaller, would you?

People online like to yak about the woke nonsense.

Reality is there are tax and regulatory advantages. The courts are setup in a way that is favorable to business. They read a very strict interpretation of contracts which is good in some scenarios.

Texas politics is a train wreck, but their bureaucracy is pretty good for a business - things like permitting and other regulatory processes are faster. They also will firehouse you with incentives.

> Lua also essentially got lexical scoping of local variables correct from the beginning while js blessed us with the nightmare of var.

That was not my experience when I was working with lua. Did anything change since? Asked google. Answered :

> In Lua, if a variable is assigned a value inside a function without being explicitly declared with the local keyword, it will automatically become a global variable. This is because, by default, all variables in Lua are global unless explicitly specified as local.

Trying to find a technological fault is what people did at the time. There were long threads on Usenet trying to ascribe things anecdotally to hypotheses that even then did not hold water.

It's sad to see looking for technological reasons happening here in the replies to your question, because that means that subsequent history has been forgotten. The technology turned out later in the decade never to have been the deciding issue, when things like the "Halloween documents" came to light. It was business agreements and marketing that sunk such products (albeit that one can argue that one can find traces of NeXT around even to this day), not technology. There were exclusionary pre-loading agreements with Microsoft, infighting inside IBM between two divisions, some utterly self-destructive litigiousness by some companies, and a whole bunch of Apple politics.

Because they thought they could take Ukraine in one week, so why not? And when they realized the mistake it's impossible to back down without losing face and life by the hand on the next leadership. So yes, it's existential, but not for Russia the country. Frankly who cared about Russia and who will care about it again if it goes back into its borders?

Exactly the route I took. I had an aging tower machine full of spinning disks running on an old LSI adapter that was doing hardware raid. They were out of space and I began to get nervous the LSI adapter could die and I would trouble replacing it. Decided JBOD for the future.

External drives were on sale, I bought several and setup with a RPI. Lots of headaches. It took effort to iron out all the USB and external disk issues. Had to work out alternative boot. Had power adapters fail for the RPI. Had to enhance cooling. etc. Kept running into popular Docker containers still not having aarch64 variants.

I finally replaced the RPI with a used Dell SFF. Kept the USB drives and it's been solid with similar power draw and just easier to deal with all around.

Though I am considering going back to a tower, shucking the drives (they're out of warranty) and going back to SATA.

It could be a game changer. They've been coy about what their resistive heaters are made out of, but this is looking like something that could be done anywhere in the world without high tech. If it works it could expand explosively (figuratively :)).

It also is a counter to anyone still proposing primary baseload plant construction. Why fission atoms when you can just get cheap heat from huge piles of slightly red hot dirt?

I can definitely see the 10% boost being accurate. Keep in mind, its not about doing everything 10% faster, its about being able to put out 10% more results by leveraging agentic coding when it makes sense.

This week I was able to tackle two long-standing bug fixes I've been noodling on and had a rough idea of what I needed to do but had competing priorities and a lack of time to sit down and really internalize the system to figure them out. I brain dumped the issue and my current thoughts and had claude formulate a plan. It solved each in less than 30 minutes of very light effort on my part. I was able to tack these onto larger work I'm doing basically seamlessly.

The other thing that I've found to be an insane benefit is filesystem-backed context switching. If your agentic workflow involves dumping your plan and progress to files in the filesystem, you can pause and restart work at any time by pointing at those files and saying "continue where you last left off". You can even take a `git diff > that-one-bug.patch` of edits made up to that point, copy that alongside the other files, and have a nice-and-neat folder of a unit of work that is ready to pick back up in the future as time permits.

> Taking citizenship away from those who voluntarily join terrorist organizations like ISIS? 100% agree with this, how could you not?

Because governments shouldn’t be allowed to just wash their hands of any responsibility to a citizen, just because they don’t like their views, regardless of how extreme and vile those views maybe.

We have judicial systems for a reason. If someone joins a terrorist organisation, you arrest them and allow the justice system to determine the consequences. Allow governments to strip citizenships is effectively a mechanism to allow governments to avoid due process and their own judicial systems. Those are never healthy behaviours in any democracy.

Societies should deal with their own citizens properly, not just strip them of citizenship and declare them someone else’s problem. I have no idea why anyone would believe making it effectively impossible to ever leave, except by dying, terrorist organisation would be a good idea. That must ensure all members of terrorist organisations literally have nothing else to live for. I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to ensure that all terrorist go out with a bang.

I have been in the informatics space for some time and none of these ML generated sepsis alerts are helpful in the ED.

We can readily tell who has sepsis when confronted with patient appearance, vital signs, and workup.

The issue is trying to find a signal in all of this data where they have an occult condition that we are not yet observing. These folks get sick real bad and real quick and we often do miss this!

Trying to find that signal with our current medical technology is difficult but there are some immune markers that could potentially alert us. These tests are now coming online and should be prevalent within the next few years. Hopefully, more research will show whether they are helpful or not.

Sometimes, even the best tests or calculators or ML generated alerts do not measure up to physician gestalt.

> Because the main reason the systems are breaking is not because of the systems themselves, but of the people in charge of them

I disagree with this assessment. The reason systems are breaking are inherent contradictions in capitalism that inevitably lead to crisis. See Crisis Theory [0] for a more thorough description of the mechanisms at play.

Communism doesn't need to be authoritarian either - Salvador Allende famously tried for a more democratic socialism before the CIA couped him away - can't have the systemic competitor look good...

I reset context probably every 5-10 minutes if not more frequently, and commit even more often than that. If you’re going 5 hours between commits or context resets, I’m not surprised you’re getting bad results. If you ever see “summarizing”’in copilot for example, that means you went way too far in that context window. The LLMs get increasingly inaccurate and confused as the context window fills up.

Other things like having it pull webpages in, will totally blow away your context. It’s better to make a separate context just to pull a webpage down and summarize it in markdown and then reset context.

> "If you’re going to really exploit the capabilities of these new tools, you need to be operating at the top of your game. You’re not just responsible for writing the code—you’re researching approaches, deciding on high-level architecture, writing specifications, defining success criteria, designing agentic loops, planning QA, managing a growing army of weird digital interns who will absolutely cheat if you give them a chance, and spending so much time on code review."

I know this paragraph is supposed to be encouraging, but it makes me wonder again what the actual goal of this entire AI enterprise is supposed to be.

"Less work" or "easier work" would make superficial sense, but in a society where people are in constant competition and derive both their self worth and their basis for living from work, both are effectively anti-goals. And so we get articles like this trying to offer comfort by saying that work will still be draining and challenging in the future.

So if not less work, then "more productivity", i.e. we can produce more software in a shorter amount of time (but with the same mental load). But as others have said, this was never the bottleneck.

Hope the CEO realized when this was instigated that it's not as simple as reversing the decision, every Youtube video about it, every review that mentions it, every tweet that mentions it, every reddit post saying "Don't buy Synology" because of it and every LLM trained on that data will be there and showing up in searches and harming sales for at least a decade.

Likewise I've seen compact farm equipment, in the same size/weight category as ride-on mowers and handheld cultivators, a bit like the "microcombine" they are advertising - which they don't have a real life link of. See e.g. [0]

I wonder what the purpose of this website is. I suppose if someone wants to start a community or a larger homestead they could use a starter pack, a complete set of all or part of this equipment in a handy storage solution, like a standard container. Wild guess, but I bet you can get a homestead starter kit like that (minus house / building materials) for $100K. (and you probably wouldn't need an aluminium extruder)

(2) is just a typo but as for (1) “metal–organic” correctly uses an en dash, and this is quite nice to see. They're consistently using the en dash even in their tweets etc, which is lovely.

(Wikipedia gives examples like “Boston–Hartford route” and “Bose–Einstein statistics”. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Dash&oldid=131217... )
