>Just yesterday: Ford, Dodge, Nissan among over 1.1 million vehicles recalled - https://www.usatoday.com/story/cars/recalls/2025/10/20/check...

but how notable was it? In other words was it on the front page either online or in print? The nature of publishing nowadays is that virtually unlimited amounts of articles can be published, but unless you're seeking them out you're not going to stumble upon them like this post.

Would it work if we created a crowdsourced vision for each category of product/service, so that any given business would be incentivized to meet these requirements to be able to advertise a product or store is Anti-Enshitified Compliant™?

No more "savey-save fcky-fck" cards/clubs as Bill Burr used to joke. No more apps required just to get a fair price. Get the easily transferable PFAS/PFOA contaminants off of my receipts and food wrappers. The sky is the limit for what we could demand.

Companies/shareholders could choose to comply or not.

How do you move the frontline when Ukraine was prepping up for this since 2014 - miles of reinforced trenches, open flat lands - this is not US in Iraq! And Ukraine amasses tens of thousands of soldiers. All this is moving slowly because Russia doesn't want casualties on its side that it's doing this very carefully. This is turned into a war of attrition and Russia is draining the whole West and it's well planned since their initial mistakes. Well, initially they wanted just a coup d'etat and stop the anti-Russia rhetoric and the talks about NATO and nukes, but they underestimated 8+ years of propaganda and brainwashing. But then it turned into a drain for the West, and it's been working. Worst of all for the US and the West, Russia, China, and North Korea are now united - before the war China was not so close to Russia, but now it is. Is this what the West really wanted? I highly doubt it as it's not beneficial to it!

OP: "So you'd think they'd be able to build a commercial jet liner, no?"

Sigh, the OP chucked out a casual insult at the Chinese because - unlike the USA and EU - their society is unable to (to date) build an international airliner business.

I deftly pointed out that the USA - despite is historical achievements - cannot build a high speed rail network and industry.

Once cannot cherry-pick the data one likes.

I feel like the law plays into that.

That law has "discovered" that these rules for these sites suck because nobody wants to sit and decide what they want on a site by site basis and thus the "just get out of my face" kinda clicking and annoyance works.

The idea that just visiting any given site I visit means I have to make some legal agreement makes no sense.
by rubendev | 2025-10-22 16:42:00+00:00
Yes I fully agree. I’m a big fan of libraries like Google Tink that make you pick a use case and use the best implementation for that use case with built in crypto agility.

Most crypto libraries are not built like that however. They just give you a big pile of primitives/algorithms to choose from. Then frameworks get built on top of that, not always taking into account best practices, and leave people that are serious about security the job of making sure the implementation is secure. This is the point where you need something like ASVS.

I really do not see that much difference between polars and pandas. Under the hood, sure the machinery is different, but quite a bit of pandas code will run as-is with polars. If you want to maximize the performance + strictness, you do need to adopt the polars style, but the two are quite similar.

Which is to say, I have no real problems with the pandas API. In fact, if I could just transplant the polars strictness into pandas, that would let me keep the slightly more terse syntax.

I think Elon is right about the idea of mind viruses. He just hasn't taken the premise far enough. All of us are infected by the algorithms around us, MAGA, Woke, MAHA ect. are all "mind viruses".

I doesn't matter how smart, compassionate, empathetic, creative or dynamic you are. As soon as you expose yourself to the algorithms you become infected. The more exposure the deeper the infection.

Founder of https://www.nango.dev here.

A lot of teams use us for their Gmail & Google calendar integrations.

If you want to run complex queries across large parts of the data, syncing + indexing on your side will be necessary. Limits on filters, pagination & rate limits make it infeasible to search across most of a user's inbox without tens of seconds to minutes of latency.

But before you sync all the data, I would test if your users actually need to run such queries.

Both Gmail & Google Calendar have a query endpoint that searches across many fields. I would start with a simple tool for your agent to run queries on that, and expand from there if necessary.

Both Nango and Composio could do this for you.

With Nango, you would also get syncs on the same platform, if it turns out you need them.

Hope this helps!

My point was that the approach is not effectual when the guilty party is a corporation with near infinite resources.

Take Apple for example, it takes years just to complete a single “unlawful termination” suit, and it would be … decades before the world can equalise the damage from their App Store practices. And all while this is going on, corps are pouring huge amount of money into lobbying so by the end they nerf or even reverse the very policy that keeps them accountable.

+5 internet points for extraordinary effort nostrademons. Smart and well summarized, thank you.

These are fair criticisms.

And I personally feel that electronic voting can be made secure and trustworthy, in the human sense of trust and the digital sense. Looking at this from a 'voting accuracy advocate' position, one could add verifiability at all stages, allowing external validation by the invested party .. the citizens could count their own votes and vet the State's tabulation.
by hopelite | 2025-10-22 16:43:54+00:00
Theoretically it would probably be more possible than you may think, but it would likely be a far bigger and more gargantuan project than you think too. We are largely talking about government money, which theoretically would need to have been tracked and accounted for, but just along getting access to that data would be an massive effort in and of itself, with massive interests groups fighting tooth and nail to keep that data secret by hook and crook.

For a bit of perspective, I just saw that James O'Keeffe just published a video yesterday that is related to that topic regarding the 8(a) set-aside fraud that he says amounts to $100 billion annually alone. Having some direct knowledge about that area in particular, I would not be surprised if it was even more than $100B annually, and that's just one of such schemes where I would guess about 80% of the money is full on defrauded by various means and methods, and of the remaining 20%, probably 15% are for things that are simply utterly useless, unproductive, pointless efforts; often even to do work in support of some other agency/department's work that is also utterly useless and inconsequential, i.e., a kind of circular fraud.

In case you are interested in the O'Keeffe video, even though it may be boring to some and utterly shocking to others [1]. Just remember, he is highlighting just one company and one tribe running this scheme/fraud, there are hundreds or even thousands of companies doing exactly that, and that is just one scheme/fraud of several that exist in federal contracting; even beyond just open and blatant corruption and nepotism and fraud you would not believe me if I told you, because you would not be able to square the fact that something so blatant could be occurring without law enforcement doing their jobs.

Through a narrow lens like that, sure. I'm not saying Trumpism isn't something that has been building in the Republican party for decades. I often say this is their talk radio monster that they had been harvesting the energy of, finally escaping its cage and devouring the party.

Reagan was a bit before my time as an adult, so I don't have a solid opinion of the emotional content of his speeches. But I don't think it was a bunch of everything about the US is broken and wrong, and we need to tear it down. I feel like the cognitive dissonance was much more narrowly scoped to those specific social issues you're talking about.

Also note that conservatism is necessarily a product of the times. A position that was considered conservative in the 1980's is likely not conservative a generation and a half later.

I'm inclined to think you're right, but I can't figure out one thing - the command module (apparently) in Apollo 13 got down to 38F without active heating. That's much colder than standard data centre rack temps.

In the example of a data centre, there would be considerably more heat generation than 3 astronauts, but, I would like to understand more. 38F is cold, so heat is clearly lost not as slowly as we might think.

> anyone had a hard experience setting it up?

Nothing useful to add, just a "no". I wasn't trying to do GPU passthrough but instead passthrough a PCI card with four independent USB controllers so I could allocate those ports to VMs.

Excluded the devices at boot with pptdevs. Using vm for bhyve management so added `passthru0="10/0/0"` (device id) to the vm config. Started it up. Device was in the VM.

That look is not that different. I bring attention to the fact that a product of quaternions all close to 1 can be close to -1, which correspond to a 2pi rotation too. This fact is a bit simpler to grasp than a topological explanation, where you consider a topology on the space of all rotations and show that some paths that correspond to 2pi rotation are different than the others. There are multiple youtube videos explaining the topological argument, see, e.g., this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACZC_XEyg9U.

The topological argument gives a larger picture and probably better understanding, but it is definitely harder.

this seems like the relevant information:

>Sequoia Capital partner Shaun Maguire over racist, anti-Muslim remarks posted on social media.

> In a tweet about New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, Maguire said Mamdani “comes from a culture that lies about everything. It’s literally a virtue to lie if it advances his Islamist agenda.” Maguire later doubled down on his remarks and responded to public criticism with vague threats, writing to one individual critical of his remarks, “You may not know this… but I’ve been watching you.”

What do you mean by flipping? Can you explain this better in a way that makes sense?

If I understand this right (and I might not) it sounds like you’re just making this into a flat tax that is wildly regressive.

It sounds like your system essentially has 0 taxes for the trust fund kids who have no income and live on asset appreciation and trading. No payroll, no tax.

I think it should be pointed out that there’s nothing wrong with the current system in terms of being able to pay down debt to a more reasonable level, it has been the conscious choice of the donor class to continue to cut taxes to the wealthy (tax cut and jobs act, big beautiful bill). Without those cuts the US system would easily produce a surplus. Instead, we have a system that transfers wealth from the federal government to oligarchs.

This is just a random list of links to standards and summary tables, some of which are wrong (urandom vs. random, for instance). The "A/L/D" scoring makes very little sense. CBC is legacy-allowable and CTR is disallowed; "verification of padding must be performed in constant time". For reasons passing understanding, "MAC-then-encrypt" is legacy-allowable. They've deprecated the internally truncated SHA2's and kept the full-width ones (the internally truncated ones are more, not less secure). They've taken the time to formally disallow "MD5 and SHA1 based KDF functions". There's a long list of allowed FFDH groups. AES-CMAC is a recommended general-purpose message authenticator.

This is a mess, and I would actively steer people away from it.

One problem that I have with fine-grained ACLs is that they can unintentionally add security risk, because sometimes those finer grained controls can be exploited to gain additional privledges.

If I grant something root, I know what that means and I'll be very careful. But if I grant something permission X thinking I'm safe, and then it can be used to gain permission Y, or even root, then I can be accidentally exposed.

There is just a much larger surface area to guard against, ensuring that each granular permission can't be so exploited.
Show HN: Bhttp Binary HTTP (RFC 9292) for Go
by 1268 | 2025-10-22 16:45:27+00:00
Hey HN,

I'm Willem, a freelance engineer. Together with the folks at Confident Security I developed this Go package that we open sourced today: https://github.com/confidentsecurity/bhttp

It's a Go implementation of BHTTP (RFC 9292) that allows you to encode/decode regular `http.Request` and `http.Responses` to BHTTP messages.

We've implemented the full RFC: - Known-length and indeterminate-length messages. Both are returned as `io.Reader`, so relatively easy to use and switch between the two. - Trailers. Work the same way as in `net/http`. - Padding. Specified via an option on the encoder.

If you're working on a problem that requires you to pass around HTTP messages outside of the conventional protocol, be sure to check it out. Any feedback or PR's are much appreciated.

What about the Hyundai/Kia antitheft recalls? Those dominated the news for /years/.

You’re not actually asking about media fairness. You’re defending Elon Musk under the usual “everyone’s unfair to Elon” routine. Now think about the difference in public visibility between the Ford CEO and the Tesla CEO. Which one’s name alone drives more clicks and engagement?

Musk injects himself into the news constantly. When you build your brand on publicity, you also get the scrutiny that comes with it. No need to play at the victim narrative.

Quantum computing hardware is still at its infancy.

The problem is not with these papers (or at least not ones like this one) but how they are reported. If quantum computing is going to suceed it needs to do the baby steps before it can do the big steps, and at the current rate the big leaps are probably decades away. There is nothing wrong with that, its a hard problem and its going to take time. But then the press comes in and reports that quantum computing is going to run a marathon tomorrow which is obviously not true and confuses everyone.

This is exactly what happens when you volunteer. When you've had enough, or just want to spend your time in other ways, you're hounded to come back, to continue to help, and to varying degrees made to feel guilty because you decided to stop doing something that you had been offering for free.

I don't think this is a reason to never volunteer but you have to develop a thick skin, know where your lines are, and at some point politely but firmly say "no."
Ask HN: Could a national AI Corridor help with advancing the U.S.
by SDedu | 2025-10-22 16:46:11+00:00
“I hear America singing…” — Whitman Today, it’s not hammers but GPUs, SMRs, and fiber lines. The nation is building again — if we let it.

⸻

The Frame Is Broken

AI data centers are booming. But power, water, and grid capacity aren’t keeping up. The U.S. grid is a patchwork — Route 66 when we need I‑10.

Slapping GPUs onto an aging grid is like putting a Tesla engine in a 1985 sedan.

⸻

Corridors, Not Chaos

We propose a National AI Corridor: • Nodes: AI compute, SMRs, desal, fiber, CAES • Hubs: Megaregional clusters linked by HVDC + water loops • Capital: PAS Tax flips capital into infrastructure

Corridors reduce siting risk, consolidate resources, and turn heat into revenue.

⸻

Heat = Dividend

60% of GPU energy is wasted as heat. Corridors reuse it: preheating desal, biotech fermenters, battery recycling.

Waste becomes product. Cost becomes capital.

⸻

JPMorgan’s $1.5 Trillion Signal

In 2025, JPMorgan launched a $1.5T “Security & Resiliency” initiative to fund energy, AI, and grid resilience.

This is our era’s Eisenhower moment. But instead of highways, it’s AI corridors.

⸻

Lessons from China’s MICs (NIST AMS 600-17)

China already has corridors — 33 Manufacturing Innovation Centers aligned with Made in China 2025.

Key lessons: • MICs align capital, labs, and cities → national integration • U.S. Manufacturing USA is underfunded (Germany spends 20x more per GDP) • China’s adoption lags (only 4% advanced digitization)

Flip it: • The U.S. excels at compute + AI ops • Corridors + PAS = adoption + capital discipline

NIST: “China has 33 MICs already coordinated into national hubs.” America needs the same — but bottom-up and capital-backed.

⸻

Phase 1 Pilot: Texas + Sun Corridor • 150 MW AI cluster + SMRs + desal • HVDC El Paso → Phoenix → Houston • Water reuse + fiber + CAES • Estimated IRR: 15–20% • Capex: $8–10B • Timeline: 2026–2033

Why here? Energy-rich Water-stressed Industry-aligned Grid-ready (ERCOT)

⸻

Crucible Capital: Playbook Exists

Crucible’s “Datacenter for Dummies” nails the economics: • 100 MW = 2–4M liters/day • $100K/mile fiber • Permitting delays = $64B+ • Meta’s IRR = 12–19%

But we need corridor logic — not isolated sites.

⸻

Avoid the Bubble

Aaron Brethorst warns of the data center bubble: overbuild, grid strain, stranded REITs.

Corridors prevent this: • Co-located reuse • Predictable permitting • Resilient revenue stacks

Alone, each data center is fragile. Linked together, they form a system.

⸻

Why MAG 7 Must Align

Without corridors, MAG 7 will face: • Water lawsuits • Grid rationing • Tax attacks • Stalled growth

Aligning with corridors = protection, growth, and adoption.

⸻

Closing Call

The Interstate Highway Act built the car century. The National AI Corridor will build the robot + biotech + compute century.

Route 66 or I‑10? Patchwork or power grid?

“We don’t need 50 data center plans. We need 1 corridor strategy.” Let’s build it. Before someone else does.

> The story has no direct sources at all, you wouldn't be able to hide a layoff like this .

Exactly. The blog post reeks of bullshit from many angles, not only how AWS does not have "DevOps" roles but also how Amazon and AWS are completely different companies, teams, organizations, everything.

Here's how they sign off their post:

> And do you believe that Amazon cut 40% of its DevOps jobs? Join our (...) Discord server, follow us (...)

It smells of bullshit through and through.
by Lumoscore | 2025-10-22 16:46:12+00:00
We’re making a massive move — and it’s all part of Lumos Core’s bigger vision.

On August 15, we will be burning 90% of the total $LUMOS supply. That’s right — the supply will drop from 10 billion to just 1 billion $LUMOS.

This is not just a token burn. It’s a strategic shift toward a more sustainable, efficient, and growth-ready tokenomics model — and here’s why it matters.

Why We’re Burning 90% of $LUMOS Supply Lumos Core is rapidly expanding — and with our upcoming multichain launch (including XRP, HBAR, and others), we need tokenomics that reflect our long-term infrastructure goals.

The previous 10B supply made sense at launch, but as we’ve evolved into a multichain Web3 infrastructure platform, it’s time to adapt.

Here’s What the Burn Achieves: • Supports our multichain strategy with more efficient token distribution • Encourages better utility of $LUMOS in governance, rewards, and liquidity • Boosts scarcity — $LUMOS just became rarer and more valuable

This is about aligning our token model with real-world utility, growth, and long-term sustainability.

What This Means for Existing Holders Good news — your tokens are not affected.

The burn will not touch tokens held by existing holders. What this means for you: • Increased scarcity = potential value boost • A stronger, more efficient Lumos Core ecosystem • Tokenomics that are designed for real, scalable growth

This is a major milestone that sets us up for success as we scale across multiple blockchains.

The New $LUMOS Tokenomics Breakdown After the burn, here’s how the 1 billion $LUMOS will be allocated:

• Market Supply: 350,000,000 (35%) • Team: 200,000,000 (20%) • Partnerships: 150,000,000 (15%) • Ecosystem Growth: 100,000,000 (10%) • Cross-Chain Swap Reserve: 50,000,000 (5%) • Liquidity Pools with Native Mints: 50,000,000 (5%) • Airdrops: 50,000,000 (5%) • Marketing & Promo: 50,000,000 (5%)

Total Supply: 1,000,000,000 $LUMOS

Final Thoughts This burn is more than just a supply cut — it’s a commitment to building a leaner, stronger, and more utility-driven Lumos Core ecosystem. As we go multichain and expand our tools — from Launchpads to AMMs, DAOs, NFT Marketplace, and beyond — $LUMOS will remain the backbone of it all.

Aug 15 is just the beginning. Let’s build the future of Web3 together.

I've found this mostly to be the case when using lightweight open source models or mini models.

Rarely is this an issue with SOTA models like Sonnet-4.5, Opus-4.1, GPT-5-Thinking or better, etc. But that's expensive, so all the companies use cut-rate models or non-existent TTC to save on cost and to go faster.
by Rygian | 2025-10-22 16:46:50+00:00
Taking the parallel-universe idea a bit further: for-profit actors must accept financial accountability for the open source software they engage with, whereas not-for-profit actors are exempt or even incentivised.

Build an open-source security solution as an individual? Well done you, and maybe here's a grant to be able to spend more of your free time on it, if you choose to do so.

Use an open-source security solution to sell stuff to the public and make a profit? Make sure you can vouch for the security, otherwise no profit for you.
