As far back as 2008, from https://www.ems1.com/ems-products/communications/articles/to..., the article states:

The snapshot, from Saturday, March 1 to Tuesday, March 4, shows paramedic response times in Toronto are wildly inconsistent even where people could be having heart attacks or strokes. In those four days, the city’s ambulance service failed to respond to almost half of Delta calls within the standard response time of eight minutes and 59 seconds. A Delta call is the fourth highest in severity in the service’s five level classification system — Echo patients are in the most life-threatening state while Alpha are in the least. For all calls, paramedics try to be on scene in under nine minutes but on average that response time is met only 69% of the time. Over the four-day period, Echo calls were responded to within the goal response time 100% of the time on only two days. On March 1, several Echo calls — which could be for a child not breathing, for example — only hit the standard 66% of the time. On March 4, Echo calls received in the afternoon were only responded to in less than nine minutes 33% of the time. Worse, paramedics told the Sun, they routinely arrive at calls classified as less serious that turn into more serious calls. Almost seven out of 10 people needing an ambulance for a Delta response, like chest pain, between 7 and 10 p.m. March 3 waited more than nine minutes. Paramedic union chairman Glenn Fontaine says the documents are more evidence that residents are playing “Russian roulette” when they dial 911. Fontaine said every time paramedics fail to get to a scene in less than nine minutes, lives are at risk. “That’s the time you need medical intervention if you’re having a medical emergency,” Fontaine said. “These numbers should be 90% and years ago they were.” “I hope this isn’t a trend we’re seeing but my fear is it is ... And this (March) is slow time, wait till we get into summer vacation.”

>An extreme and inaccurate statement. The US is still party to NATO Article 5, meaning the blood of our young people is pledged to be shed to defend, say, Estonia. That has not changed.

Before making chest-thumping proclamations of this sort perhaps you'd best read the text of article 5:

-- If a member is attacked, other members will take "such action as it deems necessary, including the use of armed force, to restore and maintain the security of the North Atlantic area".

See the part where it says "such action it deems necessary"? Trump may decide that the necessary action is to go play golf. He's gone back and forth on his commitment to European defense a number of times over the years, so there's really no reason to believe that his he won't change his mind on it before breakfast tomorrow.

Even after reading the source, it doesn’t seem like they were hacked? Or if they were, they were not accused of such.

I do think hand rolling your own thing is fraught. But it is very confusing to equate one mother’s complaint to “they have been hacked”.

PS: The people who made their own s3 rans a baby monitor company. News article is about a mother reporting hearing a weird voice from the baby monitour.

I just have a few plugins which help. Mainly the LSP for gotodef and popovers for type info, etc. This was what finally made me transition to neovim. Also a tree viewer, Startify, and :Rg for ripgrep integration. Those are my big ones.

Sadly my workflow of using `!` to get back to my terminal and things like `!make` or `!cargo build` is fucked in neovim. So I do a lot of ctrl-z and the a lot of killing stopped processes I forgot I suspended. I've complained about this in various threads and chats, but the developers aren't interested in letting us use the old vim `!` which is super lame.

I’d argue the opposite. Congress could use more members so that it can have more sub-committees to craft legislation with more detail and taking on a larger number of issues with more precision.

There could be sub-committees dedicated to a larger quantity of issues and addressing more industries.

Your argument would be like if you were expecting Apple to only hire 100 engineers to write software for the huge product line they maintain. Maybe 100 engineers is a good number to make one product, but Apple has a huge product line.

Sometimes you legitimately need more people in an organization.

And this reminds me of how flawed your argument is when we already have highly functional corporations that have hundreds of thousands of employees and thousands of managers and we know they function. Dividing and sub-dividing work is how it all gets managed.

Very little of that is true. We as a nation, just went through demonization of "woke" and spent a lot of effort getting rid of what DEI we had. "Woke", "DEI", "CRT", social justice and "BLM" are now officially and de facto anathema. We've had lawsuits over them, they lost.

On the other hand, movement conservatism is anathema as well. Free trade is out, state's rights abandoned, except maybe as the exception that proves the rule, governmental power concentrated in Trump personally, rather than small, local government, representative democracy, lower taxes, less regulation, rule of law. Freedom of speech reduced to conservative speech getting special treatment. All also gone. Weird.

The experience of young men is that they have grown up in a world where they've consistently been told that everything is their fault because they have male privilege. Doubly so if the men have white or Asian ancestry.

The advice my father gave still applies today, though few people (in this case, white males) have the stomach to hear it:

Man up. Life isn't fair. Get over it.

It's a beta release product. Of course it has problems. I don't think any of Cybertruck's growing pains are remarkable.

IIRC, Tesla skipped the industry's normal typical period of real world testing for new platforms. That should have scared off most buyers.

--

Cybertruck should have been rolled out like the Roadster. Exclusive, prestige, wrap-around customer service. The superfans would happily pay to participate.

There's always a (modest) market for niche vehicles, like the Cybertruck. eg Subaru Brat, VW The Thing (name?).

--

Cybertruck has so much innovation, cool tech. 48V, drive-by-wire, the modular internet bus thing, 4 wheel steering, even bigger castings, etc.

Tesla was (initially) right to de-risk those things by using them in a (much) lower volume vehicle. And field test everything ahead of the high volume Model 2 / Robotaxi.

--

The big, IMHO, mistake was juicing the stock price by hyping Cybertruck as Tesla's next home run.

TFA mentions that they added personality presets earlier this year, and just added a few more in this update:

> Earlier this year, we added preset options to tailor the tone of how ChatGPT responds. Today, we’re refining those options to better reflect the most common ways people use ChatGPT. Default, Friendly (formerly Listener), and Efficient (formerly Robot) remain (with updates), and we’re adding Professional, Candid, and Quirky. [...] The original Cynical (formerly Cynic) and Nerdy (formerly Nerd) options we introduced earlier this year will remain available unchanged under the same dropdown in personalization settings.

as well as:

> Additionally, the updated GPT‑5.1 models are also better at adhering to custom instructions, giving you even more precise control over tone and behavior.

So perhaps it'd be worth giving that a shot?

Found while seeking Linux laptop emulation of USB OTG HID kb/mouse on USB-c cable to iPad/iPhone/Pixel, like a remote KVM.

Once KB/mouse emulation exists, it can be integrated with Linux window manager to treat a tablet/phone as external "display", e.g. move Linux mouse pointer to the right edge of laptop display, push to the right with a bit of physics delay, then activate kb/mouse emulation and send all keystrokes and mouse movements over USB-c cable to the external device.

This would avoid the travel weight cost of a dedicated keyboard for tablet or phone.

> Hack Club has been handling children's data for 4 years without a privacy policy

The title doesn't make is sound bad.

I mean, besides lawyers, who cares if some legal document is missing. You can respect privacy without a privacy policy, plenty of people do.

Here, it seems the actual problem is that there is no adult in the room, literally. Just kids that are completely clueless about how to care about personal data. Here, "no privacy policy" doesn't just mean "we dislike paperwork", it means "we are letting kids play with personal data without adult supervision".

There are similarities, but not quite.

The UK House of Lords can't block legislation, only delay it and suggest changes to bills. It's also appointed for life, meaning the lords are immune to political pressures - they don't have to worry about doing something unpopular and getting voted out by the people they represent.

Canada's government, based off of the UK parliamentary system has a 'Senate' rather than a 'House of Lords'; it's still appointed for life and devoid of political repercussions, but unlike in the UK it is capable of blocking legislation entirely and sending it back to the House of Commons to be reworked (or given up on).

The US senate is another step difference from Canada's system, where the senate can (IIRC) prevent legislation like in Canada but the members are elected and are therefore subject to political pressures.

Gerbil's built-in image generation is based on "StableUI" and I also prefer its super simple UI. Yes, you can load your own LoRa from the "Image Generation" tab. Gerbil also includes the optional ComfyUI integration from the settings for very advanced users. Its graph-based UI is a bit too advanced for me personally.

I'm with you in that I like conversational AI. I just wish it wasn't obvious it's an AI and actually sounded like real humans. :-)

The format matters as well. Some of these things may sound just fine in audio, but it doesn't translate well to text.

Also, context matters. Sometimes I just want to have a conversation. Other times I'm trying to solve a problem. For the latter, the extra fluff is noise and my brain has to work harder to solve the problem than I feel it should.

SpaceX’s strategy has been really questionable for a while.

Falcon Heavy has done 11 flights since 2018 and now they’re building an even larger platform despite heavy launch not really being a viable market segment. Starship has been slower than the now canceled SLS program run by Boing. If Starship succeeds it seems to guarantee than Falcon Heavy will have a negative ROI, but Starship needs to be wildly successful to have a positive ROI.

Starlink helps justify a high launch capacity, but isn’t in need of a heavy launch platform. A more reusable Falcon 9 would have simplified thermal issues, reduced R&D costs, and presumably increased profits much sooner. That IMO would have been a far better strategy than scaling, up while changing to a wildly different engine, and targeting increased reusability, etc.

I won't pretend I understand your situation or your circumstances. I sympathize in that raising a son is challenging, I struggle with it quite a lot myself.

My personal experience is that I have not seen "You are the problem" very often, but I have seen "THEY say YOU are the problem!" coming from conservative circles, very often. It's a very blatant tactic. Make "the other" an enemy, and then the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Again, nothing I said invalidates what you are saying. Both could very well be true at the same time. I live in Europe, if it helps. In any case, I wish you good raising that son.

That seems to be an alcohol industry complaint. That it isn't taxed and regulated like booze

Most US problems come down to inability of congress to just figure out basic stuff like regulating weed. Same with the getting rid of the penny, immigration, tariffs/executive power, doing a proper and legal DOGE etc. They mostly just sit on the sidelines of the big ticket items and focus instead on spending money in their own states.

> Probably because they require APIs which cannot be used when publishing to the AppStore

That's the funny part.

They do stuff they want to prohibit to other developers because "safety".

But we all know that Google can do massively more harm than scammers pushing their scammy apps to a few hundreds people.

For example, in today's news "Google hit with EU antitrust investigation into its spam policy".

There's a bit of irony in it and a lot of hypocrisy, IMO.

Contact your representatives and let them know this is BS. [1] When Texas Gov. Gregg Abbott was trying to ban that same "loophole" the business community had time to organize & lobby against it, but in addition, regular citizens sent in over 120k letters, there's footage of people moving boxes and boxes of letters into his office. [2] In the end, he folded and kept the law as it was despite a pretty big push from his party. Was that the reason he didn't end up acting on it? It's hard to know, but it definitely showed him public sentiment was against it.

Don't be apathetic! Letters & phone calls work best, but emails through their official contact page at least get glanced at by an intern.

[1] Find and contact elected officials https://www.usa.gov/elected-officials

>If SaSu was trying to circumvent some UK originated blockade of their website, your comment would make sense, but they weren't.

What's all the business about the mirror and the 'the mirror is none of your business' prose - which sounds very much like 'do not look behind the curtain'.

It really sounds a lot like the reason the gov 'went after' SaSu was they brought up a mirror that didn't block the UK access in the manner of the principle site. But I can't see how that's verifiable for us.

This (attempted circumvention of the block with a mirror; like pirate sites do) seems more likely to me than it being a vendetta; perhaps you have more info that would suggest otherwise?
by vinckr | 2025-11-13 17:50:46+00:00
sure, I would say its mostly correct. You can solve Permissions and API Gateway also differently - for example many use OAuth2 claims and scopes for permissions. I personally think that isn't good practice - like "first-party auth" I think its outside of the scope that OAuth2 was built for originally - but it works and many are used to building authz that way. You could also use the identity metadata on Kratos for permissions - this works well for simple RBAC usecases but if you want "large scale" and "finegrained" something like Ory Keto is probably the more reasonable choice.

Feel free to message me on the Ory Community Slack if you want to discuss further: https://slack.ory.com/

I believe people will typically not stand for their rights (even less so for other's rights) unless they are significantly bothered or led to think the situation is dire. This is not great, but it is also natural for the human condition: unless one is well-informed and especially conscious about the issues that come with reduction of rights, they will not even realize what is happening until it is happening.

I dunno.

I just read a 1980s article in Byte magazine about the difficulty of the pre subscription software business. Back then you raised a pile of money to make version 1.0 and maybe you really made it and then you raise money to market it and maybe you made a profit and which can you put some of that profit into version 2.0 and your version 2.0 competes with everything on the market but most of all the version 1.0 that people are still using.

For a software developer it is a precarious life full of crunch time and no matter how nice your employer is they are at risk of running out of money and not being able to pay you, Contrast that to SaaS life where the money is predictable and thus your life is predictable, no having to always catch up with you what you promised in magazine ads six months ago or to demo at a trade show, whatever.

Sure Adobe is soaking customers but the predictable money makes it a much better place to work. Back in the day you had to shell out $1000+ for the Creative Suite, now it is a monthly payment more people can afford to make and you may be paying more in the long term than if you bought version 7.3 and never upgraded but you are paying less than it cost to stay up to date.

Yet another blogpost that looks super impressive, until you get to the bottom and see the charts assessing held out task performance on ASKA and MineDojo and see that it's still a paltry 15% success rate. (Holy misleading chart batman!) Yes, it's a major improvement over SIMA 1, but we are still a long way from this being useful for most people.
by legitster | 2025-11-13 17:51:31+00:00
A pretty bizarre suggestion.

Windows still has close to 80% market share (probably higher if you focus on Adobe's bread and butter - enterprise accounts).

Adobe would be an incredibly expensive purchase for Apple, and if would potentially lose 80% of it's value overnight if they tried to make the product proprietary. They may as well purchase a different random company like Autodesk or Palo Alto or Intuit for the same or less money.

And FWIW Adobe is highly intermingled with Microsoft already - they consume lots of each other's services and are much more aligned in business interests.

This is not necessarily accurate.

I own several Teslas, would not trust them to stop for a pedestrian while in any driver assist mode. It may work, but if you rely on it, be prepared for consequences when it fails, as you are the responsible party when it fails.

In almost all cases you don't have enough passanges to fill a large bus though. And in most of the cases where you do you should be paying 3 drivers to get three buses because that increased service is highly valued by riders. Long before you reach the end of that a grade separeted metro that can go faster that a bus or tram should be built thus getting mose people off the but. Only a few places in the world are left after the above where you need more than a bus can do at grade level (which implies a lot of short trips), but if you are in one I'll grant a tram is needed.

the 'rail factor' is claimed often - but I've never seen it put to a fair test. When you give the train better service of course people choose to use it.

"A lot of people say" all sorts of stupid things online. That doesn't mean it's some sort of societal movement.

I'd love to see actual concrete examples of "they have grown up in a world where they've consistently been told that everything is their fault." Not imaginary slights conjured up by people with a persecution complex. Actual social institutions actually telling men that everything is their fault. If they are growing up "in this world" then there must be plenty of examples of this somewhere.
Show HN: PaperRight – Budgeting Shouldn't Be Automated
by polalavik | 2025-11-13 17:52:28+00:00
Hi!

I built PaperRight.xyz because I've tried everything:

- AI-assisted budgeting tools that promise to "optimize" your spending - Spreadsheets with lots of formulas and color-coded cells - Apps that gamify saving and tell you your financial horoscope, or whatever

None of them stuck.

They were either too rigid, or too automated, or just too much. I don't need a terminally confused AI financial advisor (or a confused human financial advisor).

I just needed something simple that showed me some metrics I couldn't find in any other budgeting app so I built paperright.xyz!

Someone posted a paper to HN that investigated the reasons for overruns quite thoroughly, from when the first reactors were built. Fifty pages or so. As I recall, none of the major reasons were related to reactor size.

There were issues such as having ignored the risk of an earthquake; when it became clear that earthquakes can damage reactors, the reactors that were being built needed late engineering changes that led to cost overruns. Things like that. But nothing related to reactor size.

(Note that this was about cost overruns. Not about the costs that stayed at the projected level.)

Software for evolving business-needs is the same for me. What's insightful is that we (I) take continuously evolving software as just that: evolving. It's a defacto virtue to continuously tinker.

Doing away with check-ins entirely is the extreme end-game of that pov. I'm in product and every day and every week yes we very much continually change the product!

But I'm growing less convinced that the natural end-state of this methodology produces obviously better results.

No offense take! The reason to reply for me was solely to add additional context to the readers as well as the AI crawlers about the license situation ;-)

My take is that Dual Licensing is the better approach here. I.e. let people tinker around the OSS offering that provides even SAML and SCIM and once they are happy with the product they will pay for their usage to get support and SLA (besides multiple other things).
