Huh, I've actually been pleasantly surprised at how much hype there isn't every time one of these companies with a quantum side gig (Google, Microsoft) announces some new paper or finding. They're usually accompanied by levelheaded press releases announcing what was done and why, not breathless hyperbole. There are generic optimistic statements from executives, but nothing like what happens with AI. I dunno, it feels to me like they're pretty realistic about what QC might and might not accomplish in the coming decade.

For QC startups it's a different story, but of course startups have to hype themselves into the stratosphere to survive, so I don't really hold it against them (or at least, not any more than I would any other startup).

> That which survived, at least. A whole lot of rail infrastructure was not viable and soon became waste of its own. There was, at one time, ten rail lines around my parts, operated by six different railway companies. Only one of them remains fully intact to this day. One other line retained a short section that is still standing, which is now being used for car storage, but was mostly dismantled. The rest are completely gone.

How long did it take for 9 out of 10 of those rail lines to become nonviable? If they lasted (say) 50 years instead of 100, because that much rail capacity was (say) obsoleted by the advent of cars and trucks, that's still pretty good.

XSL is neat, and it is a functional language, but between XSL and XPath, it is quite verbose. Here's a small section of XSL I use to generate my website (not my blog):

<xsl:choose> <!-- ... other code --> <xsl:when test="name(.) = 'subsection'"> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="not(boolean(ancestor-or-self::*/@next)) or ancestor-or-self::*/@next != 'rev'"> <xsl:if test="boolean(following-sibling::subsection[@listindex != 'no']/attribute::directory)"> <link rel="next" href="../{following-sibling::subsection[@listindex != 'no']/attribute::directory}" title="{following-sibling::subsection[@listindex != 'no']/child::title}"/> </xsl:if> <xsl:if test="boolean(preceding-sibling::subsection[@listindex != 'no'][position()=1]/attribute::directory)"> <link rel="prev" href="../{preceding-sibling::subsection[@listindex != 'no'][position()=1]/attribute::directory}" title="{preceding-sibling::subsection[@listindex != 'no'][position()=1]/child::title}"/> </xsl:if> <link rel="first" href="../{../subsection[@listindex != 'no'][position()=1]/@directory}" title="{../subsection[@listindex != 'no'][position()=1]/title}"/> <link rel="last" href="../{../subsection[@listindex != 'no'][position()=last()]/@directory}" title="{../subsection[@listindex != 'no'][position()=last()]/title}"/> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <xsl:if test="boolean(preceding-sibling::subsection[@listindex != 'no'][position()=1]/attribute::directory)"> <link rel="next" href="../{preceding-sibling::subsection[@listindex != 'no'][position()=1]/attribute::directory}" title="{preceding-sibling::subsection[@listindex != 'no'][position()=1]/child::title}"/> </xsl:if> <xsl:if test="boolean(following-sibling::subsection[@listindex != 'no']/attribute::directory)"> <link rel="prev" href="../{following-sibling::subsection[@listindex != 'no']/attribute::directory}" title="{following-sibling::subsection[@listindex != 'no']/child::title}"/> </xsl:if> <link rel="first" href="../{../subsection[@listindex != 'no'][position()=last()]/@directory}" title="{../subsection[@listindex != 'no'][position()=last()]/title}"/> <link rel="last" href="../{../subsection[@listindex != 'no'][position()=1]/@directory}" title="{../subsection[@listindex != 'no'][position()=1]/title}"/> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:when> <!-- ... other code ... --> </xsl:choose>

And yes, there is other code I've omitted for brevity. This is used to generate the navigation links for the site. I initially write this ... prior to 2009 (that's when I moved it into git). There have been some minor fixes to the XSL over the years, but it's largely unchanged (for a reason that I hope is obvious). Yes, I still use it, because it still works, and it's for a static website.

We have been able to manipulate legal documents for 100s of years. We have been able to manipulate images for over 100 years. We have been able to manipulate images on any computer with a few hours of training for for 30+ years. We have been able to manipulate videos with training for 20+ years.

It is an order of magnitude easier now (likely as easy as documents have been to manipulate for 30ish years now). However, this is not a new problem, courts have always had to deal with manipulated evidence.

We saw slight drop in fake email (disposable, temporary email addresses) signups but it became clear many login-with-google also use their secondary or spam aliases. In B2B the big customers, those actually paying, rarely use social logins.

Issues: Users don't remember which login method they used so next time they might try to create an account with email&password. login-with-google actually is the same as register-with-google, it doesn't tell you ahead if the user already has an account with your website. Some users expect to convert their login method to email&password. The flows for password change or forgot password are different.

That said you can solve each as it happens, it doesn't matter with a small number of users. I'd still implement it later, it's likely not the reason why people bail during signup.

I'll just grant you that most societies are wholly unequipped to deal with long lifespans, and there will be tons of murder, exploitation, and suffering if we fixed our biology. First, how is that any different than the current situation? Second, do you expect societies to quickly evolve to fix all of these problems (or at least tame them), much like societies had to do after the invention of fire, agriculture, steel, gunpowder, or steam?

Fast food delivery in Shenzhen:

Shipping end: [1]

Receiving end: [2]

Delivery is to a box like an Amazon delivery box. Here's the current list of delivery locations and how to use the app to order.[3] Weight limit 2.3kg. Delivery time 15 minutes.

It's still rather limited. You can't have a delivery platform on your balcony yet. Mostly they deliver to parks and big open plazas.

The Shenzhen city administration seems to be very drone-friendly. There are delivery drones. Advertising drones. Light show drones. Police drones.

Peto's paradox - and the existence of whales in particular.

If cancer really is an inevitability, then whales, who have both livespan limits longer than that of humans, and enormous bodies with a staggering amount of living cells, would be full of cancer. They aren't.

Clearly, humans must have better innate cancer suppression than mice, and whales must have better innate cancer suppression than humans.

There are some hints that this may come down to programmed cell death and DNA repair mechanisms (i.e. the p53 pathway) more than the immune system tweaks - with immune response being the "last resort" of cancer suppression. But we also don't know enough about the immune system to be able to examine it the same detail we can examine the DNA repair pathways.

> wild to me how many people here use the "it's war, bad things happen" to justify the situation

The point is to distinguish this war from how others have been fought. A lot of accusations against the IDF's conduct have been baseless. Not wrong in that they're factually incorrect. Just wrong in that it's how everyone else fights wars when they go to war.

This is different. America didn't trigger a famine in Iraq or Afghanistan, and it's not like we fought those wars honorably. That is where it's worth answering the question, is this just war or is this worse.

In any web application all data that comes from the outside world is potentially hostile. A decent web framework takes care of basic security measures, does input sanitation, provides referer checking and csrf for forms, etc. When you roll your own, your _are_ on your own to do that all properly yourself, if you even know all the potential pitfalls. And if you write your own cgi library like the op even more so. I'm not advocating for using WordPress either. I'm advocating for either having a static blog or using a decent, tested web framework or the the very least cgi module that provides tested implementations of common security features that in my experience are typically missed in self-made cgi scripts.

Not to justify it but 1) your responses have been misunderstanding their point, even after a good explanation of it and 2) they had some of their comments down voted (IMO, probably because of how they expressed their perspective rather than because of what it is).

So it is (or rather, seems like to me) a double whammy psychology of having their point be demonstrably misunderstood while it is also (seemingly) being rejected by down votes. (Again, just explaining, not justifying.)

(Also, I cannot help but notice the irony(?) of this misunderstanding and the necessity of this explanation in a thread on a post about autism. No shade to anyone, just making the observation.)

I think the Greeks, like Italians have been fucked by the previous generations living way above their means and forcing younger ones to deal with the problems they caused.

I am not sure about Greek examples, but in Italy, among the bad things done just to ensure another term for a given political party, I hate "baby pensioni" [1] more than anything else. My 90-years old grandmother still benefits from this and after working until 47 she was allowed to retire with a decent pension (1000+ euros in today's money). So, she costed the other taxpayers 516k euro (1000 * 12 * 43) so far. And like her there were more than 500k people who took the deal and the majority is receiving/received more money than my grandma. The estimate is that the state handed out 9B euros/year for basically 45 years totaling 405B euros, which is more than 13% of Italy's total debt just for those pensions. If you add the cost of healthcare for those people over their lifetimes I guess you get that a single generation accounts for between 15% to 20% of the totality of the debt.

While the article is about something that goes in the complete opposite direction, it is also a short-sighted decision IMHO as it will surely worsen the fertility rate crisis that Greece is also facing. I mean, how can you have a child if you have to work 13 hours per day and a low salary to boot?

> Starvation as a tactic of war is horrible and evil. But it doesn't sound like people here do know what is happening.

The problem for your argument is that Israeli leaders have publicly said over and over again that they are intentionally starving the Palestinians in Gaza.

> 1400 was a specific time/event and the worst case CNN listed.

Israel let in 0 calories for months on end. They have blocked the UN from providing food aid, and have attempted to completely destroy the main UN agency providing food in Gaza. When Israel does let food in, it is only in response to international pressure. If the Israeli government thought it could get away with killing every last Palestinian in Gaza, it would.

Watched a video essay yesterday by a female reader who found the Aunt’s four page monologue in ‘All the Pretty Horses’ one of the most insightful and moving explanations of women she’d ever read.

She was particularly surprised to find such a passage in a book by McCarthy who she expected to be some gruff man’s man.

I haven’t read that passage myself, but seemingly Cormac was capable of writing women when he chose to. Perhaps not enough, though.

Tons of devs and builder on here so why not share what we are working on I'm curious.

lil format: Short, one sentence, description of your product. Status: Landing page/MVP/Beta/Launched Link (if you have one)

I'll go first:

One API to access 500+ open-source and frontier AI models with unified billing and super fast inference. Also way cheaper than other tool like Openrouter and Together AI.

Status: Beta - accepting pilots for free API credits Reference: gatewayz.ai

Not only the drug has to be approved but the production process and laboratory.

There is a lot of bureaucracy and audits. It is but as if a European laboratory is allowed to sell a generic drug without at huge costs for certifications ( and viceversa)

I am not saying that buying your medicines to questionable online web is a good idea. Just that other countries have their own controls depending on their policies

Specifically, DHH posted https://world.hey.com/dhh/as-i-remember-london-e7d38e64 where he wrote

> London is no longer the city I was infatuated with in the late '90s and early 2000s. Chiefly because it's no longer full of native Brits.

and linked to the Wikipedia page on ethnic groups in London showing that there aren't as many white people in London as there used to be.

About Tommy Robinson's march, he wrote Tommy Robinson's march

> That frustration [with mass immigration] was on wide display in Tommy Robinson's march yesterday. British and English flags flying high and proud

Tommy Robinson is devoutly anti-Islam and founded the English Defence League.

It was a lifesaver. I went through it. I remember, distinctly, going from 'why am I here with all these other kids who just want to stare at the wall or play with G.I. Joes or stack rings' to an immense sense of relief when there was a bit more structure, a bit more freedom to choose what to do, etc.

But more importantly, when I wanted to understand or ask about some existential question, my teacher didn't say "oh that's cute kid, don't worry about it, just go be a kid and play with your friends." They took me seriously, chatted with me through my questions, and treated me like I wasn't a complete idiot, even though I was a child. That made all the difference.

And even more importantly, asking those questions didn't make me a pariah; instead, the other kids had those questions too, and we all learned from each other and grew.

If this sounds a bit absurd, I assure you I knew it then; I literally wrote about it in my journal in second grade.

400B is like 8% of the federal budget. Or more than $1,000 per citizen. In what world is that negligible?

And again that’s just a number you tossed out for a single person. Literally one single person who would still be worth $100,000,000,000.00. One hundred billion dollars...the amount that Jeff Bezos was worth as the wealthiest person on the planet in 2017, just 8 years ago.

The simple reality is that wealth is more consolidated now than at any point in the US’s history. The wealthy are allowed to amass billions and billions of dollars without paying taxes on it, while the rest of us shoulder the burden.

Something has to change.

They fit different niches, IME; node-red is designed for IoT workloads, and so is a great fit for high volume messaging; n8n on the other hand is more workflow automation focused -like Zapier - and so has higher level abstractions and is less focused on performance efficiency.

Can they both fit some of the same use cases? Definitely.

I checked out the Pitkin County Assessors site, big notice to all residents IN RED A 80% raise in property taxes for 2025. I looked up the Thompson house-its listed under the Owl Farm Trust with her name- roughly from $3,400.00 per year to $35,000. But they have 42 acres 10 minutes from Aspen....so its not going to be cheap! But I don't know anything...maybe he was miserable. He was working on the Lisl Auman case helping her get an appeal, why would he just kill himself, she got her appeal in 2005. He would have seen it happen but he off himself while his grandson at the house???? Now property taxes go up? oki.....

As an international fan of several US sports MLB are miles ahead on streaming. I can access every single game through their in-house streaming service. Live or on demand. I can pause, skip ahead in-between innings, choose TV or radio commentary. I can watch on my computer, TV, phone, web. They even had a cool experimental Vision Pro app. The NBA isn't too far behind these days. The NFL was good but they've started selling their own in-house streaming rights to national broadcasters internationally so I've went from their decent in-house service to a pretty terrible third-party one.

Some candidates include: sensory processing (including keen senses, overload, and undersensitivity - sometimes different for each sense!), trauma when unplanned/unexpected actions or lies occur (part of "patterns/routines" in general, but I exclude mere "pop-sci OCD"), difficulty reading facial/social cues (and the sheer terror of how people can read your mind if you meet their eyes).

I'm unsure about "difficulty expressing yourself clearly even when you know exactly what you mean". Nonverbality is a possibility but I'm actually skeptical of it, though it does give a very useful hook for experiments - there are some toddlers who are initially verbal like normal, then gradually become nonverbal and can recognize "something is happening to me!". I specifically exclude intelligence-vs-retardation; though both are common, neither seems intrinsic to autism itself (though perhaps they are potential causes?). Despite their correlations, I also exclude general introversion, ADHD, special interests as being either external or secondary. And "making repetitious movements" or even "throwing tantrums" is clearly on the side of "coping strategy" rather than a part of the disease.

Many autism quizzes split the questions into categories which somewhat align with the axes, but as I said before it's not clear what's actually independent and forms a meaningful difference.

Two axes outside of autism are also clear: schizophrenia is the formation of the patterns too detached from the world (as opposed to autism which where internal patterns result from the real world being too strong in some way - it's quite striking that for all the comorbidities autism has, diagnosis of schizophrenia in the same individual is exceedingly rare and probably wrong in at least one of the cases, though they intermingle at the family level); dementia is when the brain fails to build enough patterns (where autism builds too many).

One opinion I hold vehemently: if you're still in the "the problem is other people" phase, you aren't claim autism, you're just an asshole. Doing anything useful about autism requires recognizing: "my brain (my body?) is the reason I am suffering"; the best others can give is palliative care.

It's wild to go back and watch him in 2016 as a comparison. His manner of speech has always been so bizarre that it's easy to forget that it's not just him "being Trump", there's also a very obvious and severe decline since then.

Meanwhile, all the people who were screaming "Dementia Joe" every two minutes from 2021 to 2024 seem to be conveniently silent this time...

It's interesting to watch as an international viewer. Sports gambling here has been legal forever and although we get betting company ads during commercial breaks (and some sponsorship stuff) the US has managed to legalise it and make it toxic almost instantly. Commentators and pundits should not be giving odds on air (with rare exceptions). Pundits shouldn't be giving 'their' betting picks. The problem isn't gambling - it's the excess to which it's been implemented.

If you just have one of the symptoms you shouldn't be diagnosed with autism.

I think a lot of people miss that the changes that combined a ton of stuff into autism was because we had a ton of different disorders that had super similar treatment plans, but it could cause issues when your doctor didn't know all of the related disorders to be able to know to try different treatment plans.

The combining was an acknowledgement that we don't know what causes these combinations of symptoms to occur but they seem to be related when certain combinations of them occur and these treatments can work to lessen the impact on the person experiencing it.
Ask HN: Burnt out by my side project, yet unable to step away. What to do?
by ahmedfromtunis | 2025-10-02 21:20:57+00:00
I've been solo working on this side project for over four years now, and I officially launched it two years ago.

I am deeply passionate about the problem space and the positive feedback from the users continues to be a huge source of motivation and validation for me.

I even took a full-time sabbatical for a year to work on it, which helped establish it in a small niche.

When commuting, doing chores or running errands, it's the only thing I can think of. I even created detailed plans for easy to build features that users requested.

YET, every time I sit down in front of my computer, I freeze up.

I know exactly what to build and how to build it, but I spend two or three hours trying to maintain focus for more than 30 minutes in a row. (And, no, Pomodoro didn't work either.)

I feel like a spring that can't wait to jump somewhere else.

I've tried working on it after my day job and before work. I quit social media and try to spend my free time consuming long-form media to avoid ruining my attention span because I keep thinking that's the cause of my strife. But the result is the same: zero energy for execution.

Worse yet, I can't even enjoy my time away from it. The guilt of not being in front of my computer working on the project completely ruins my evenings, weekends, and social time. Stepping away feels impossible because the guilt makes relaxing more stressful than trying (and failing) to work.

How can I escape this cycle?

(And, yes, I wrote this while trying to do some work on the project.)
