> Different cars with different targets.

The head of the product disagrees with you. No offense but I think he has a slightly better idea of their target buyer than you.

>AW: How much was Tesla on Porsche’s mind when the Taycan was produced? It seems like you’re going right after Model S with this car.

>SW: The first target for ourselves was to make sure that the Taycan becomes a Porsche. We needed to make it as close to the 911, our icon, as possible. Obviously, we had a look at the competition, we had a look at BMW, Mercedes, Tesla.

Qualcomm talked a lot about Snapdragon X Elite as the future of Windows and Linux on ARM, but results so far are mixed. Windows on ARM is finally usable on recent laptops, yet compatibility gaps remain, and Linux support is still far from mature.

The high idle power on the Framework ARM upgrade board shouldn’t be blamed solely on MetaComputing or CIX. Poor idle power efficiency is a long-standing issue on Linux laptops, especially with new platforms, so this looks more like an ecosystem-level power-management problem than a single-vendor failure.

What stands out to me is that Chinese companies are actually shipping hardware and pushing into every possible market segment. Their decentralized, diversified corporate ecosystem seems to enable fast experimentation and broad market penetration.

Are you serious?

New motors, new battery pack architecture, chemistry, etc, new body structure (giga castings), new interior, new facia and body panels, new computer architecture, new door handles. It goes on and on and on. Find me a part on your 2014 that is the same on the 2025. Show it to me in the Tesla parts catalog. It’s online. Should be easy.

Get a grip.

The best transit systems don't have ads.

I've never even used free wifi that was ad supported, and I'm not aware of a situation where this is common.

Ad revenue is nowhere near enough to build the facilities necessary to play baseball, so little leagues are getting funding in a lot of other ways which could fill in the gaps if ad revenue were removed.

The simple fact is that we have lots of examples of ads being removed and economies puttering along just fine.

It looks a little bit like a tempest in a teapot to me, but I'm impressed with their community guidelines. That thread got an exception to allow for more discussion, and it even permits "Critiques of Framework as a company" and "Calls for boycotts or product criticism".

This is a very interesting feature, especially if comptime can become a true language superset with features such as the ability for seamless type-level programming, leveraging `const fn` code throughout. This would unlock the potential for having true dependent types in (the comptime portion of) Rust programs, and write arbitrary end-to-end compiler-verified proofs about code that will ultimately run in the final program.

Many developers do this, and it's explicitly allowed under Apple's Developer Agreement (section 3.3.1).

Interpreted code may be downloaded to an Application but only so long as such code: (a) does not change the primary purpose of the Application by providing features or functionality that are inconsistent with the intended and advertised purpose of the Application (b) does not bypass signing, sandbox, or other security features of the OS; and (c) for Applications distributed on the App Store, does not create a store or storefront for other Applications.

The app store review guidelines (section 2.5.1) seem more narrow, but I think the above is what's enforced.

Agreed.

I’m leaving my employer soon, and one of the things I wanted to do was to keep some of my old correspondence from Slack that was more personal in nature. I wrote a script (well, I prompted AI to write a script) that exported all my DMs to a JSON file. I then built a quick local RAG, ran through them all, and had a local model categorize what was “personal”. From there I had it spit out a list of conversation topics and people that I went through by hand. The ones I wanted to keep got exported into a clean JSON file that I then copied over to a personal device.

Honestly, I think even that is at least very close to the line of what’s acceptable. I did everything I could to protect the company’s interests, and am confident that even if they were fully aware they wouldn’t have an issue with it, but I’m not at all confident it would be defensible in court if it came to that. If I thought it would, I wouldn’t have done it.

I would never even consider uploading the output to a third party, much less everything.

Not Peter but would like to spur discussion on positive changes that could be made.

- Paper-free overhaul of the entire immigration system.

- Green Card recapture [0].

- Country of Birth caps abolished for Green Cards. Impossible to justify this as it doesn't serve the intended purpose since AC21 was passed.

- EAD/AP premium processing - so many livelihoods ruined and immigration journeys derailed because people can't get work authorization or cannot travel.

- TD holders granted working rights incident of status same as L2S.

Now for the not-so-popular suggestions...

- Diversity Lottery - there's bipartisan support to cancel the program and it's really hard to justify bringing almost 55k with a min of high school education into the country.

- Removal of F2B, F3, F4 family based categories to move inline with other developed nations immigration systems such as Canada [1].

> In a world without physical media, the best piracy can deliver is no better than the best encoding streamers have available (and that assumes DRM circumvention remains forever possible, otherwise we're gonna get worst quality from re-encoding decoded playbacks)

I wonder if we can use modern tech to get high quality screen recordings.

By "screen recordings" I mean pointing an actual camera at a screen and by "high quality" I mean some sort of post processing involving automation to remove noise and other artifacts.

That's a cool work-around.

What I don't like, is that whenever you contact Zoom, their representatives are taught to say one thing: buy more licenses.

Not only that, but their API/pricing is specifically designed to cover edge-cases that will force you to buy a license.

For example, they don't expose an API to assign a co-host. You can do that via the UI, manually, but not via the API.

Can you share which solution are you moving to?
Show HN: NeuroLint – CLI that fixes React/Next.js issues automatically (NO AI)
by Just_Clive | 2025-12-05 22:41:44+00:00
Hey HN,

I built NeuroLint, a CLI tool that automatically fixes common React and Next.js issues using deterministic AST transformations, no AI, no rewrites, no breaking changes.

It handles 50+ issues across 7 layers: - Hydration errors (window/document/localStorage guards) - Missing React keys - Console.log cleanup - Unused variables - Accessibility improvements - Next.js App Router 'use client' directives

I also just shipped a one-command fix for CVE-2025-55182 (the CVSS 10.0 React Server Components RCE that dropped this week):

npx @neurolint/cli security:cve-2025-55182 . --fix

How it works: - Parses your code with Babel AST - Applies rule-based transformations - Creates backups before any changes - Shows transparent diffs

GitHub: https://github.com/Alcatecablee/Neurolint-CLI npm: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@neurolint/cli Site: https://neurolint.dev VSCode: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=neurolin...

Would love feedback from the HN community. What's missing? What would make you trust a tool like this on your codebase?

I've been having an absolutely great time with Rust's bumpalo crate, which works very similarly. The lifetime protection still works great, and it's actually a lot more permissive than normal Rust, since it's the same lifetime everywhere.

The sad exception is obviously that Rust's std collections are not built on top of it, and neither is almost anything else.

But nevertheless, I think this means it's not a Zig vs Rust thing, it's a Zig stdlib vs Rust stdlib thing, and Rust's stdlib can be replaced via #[no_std]. In the far future, it's likely someone will make a Zig-like stdlib for Rust too, with a &dyn Allocator inside collections.

See https://abseil.io/tips/ for some idea of the kinds of guidance these kinds of teams work to provide, at least at Google. I worked on the “C++ library team” at Google for a number of years.

These roles don’t really have standard titles in the industry, as far as I’m aware. At Google we were part of the larger language/library/toolchain infrastructure org.

Much of what we did was quasi-political … basically coaxing and convincing people to adopt best practices, after first deciding what those practices are. Half of the tips above were probably written by interested people from the engineering org at large and we provided the platform and helped them get it published.

Speaking to the original question, no, there were no teams just manually reading code and looking for mistakes. If buggy code could be detected in an automated way, then we’d do that and attempt to fix it everywhere. Otherwise we’d attempt to educate and get everyone to level up their code review skills.

> I would think that americans would be much more vigilant about what medication they take

This is why I always check to make sure it's fiscally responsible before I start chemotherapy, or before buying that emergency inhaler for asthma, or before accepting paralytics and anesthesia when undergoing surgery. How fortunate that in America diabetics have the freedom to die rather than take overpriced insulin. Let the free market decide which child with leukemia deserves a bone marrow transplant and which deserves a casket! That's a much more responsible market than just having everybody chip in a small amount so that nobody needs to worry about the cost of the medications they need to live. Sure, in America millions will die or be bankrupted by healthcare costs every year, but that's better than spending a single $ from your own wallet if even a tiny fraction of it might help pay for someone else's medications right?

The office is usually an "open" office. Thats horrible. If you want devs back how about giving an actual office.

The amount of BS talk and noice at the office is unbearable. Fart sounds. Kitchen sounds. Meetings, phone calls etc.

I always end up sitting with headphones (noice canceling) and some music and try to work.

Thats why i only go once or twice a week.

> Sure, and that woman could surely have come up with some bible verses or something. But would they even bother, if we accept them as an authority?

In a modern, secular society, we do not take "the bible" as a logical reason for something. However, we do accept statements of things that are verifiable like that an event occurred, was observed by many people besides the one making the claim, and possibly even recorded by multiple sources.

> There weren't exactly many sources to support the claim that a certain laptop "had all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation"

There also weren't many sources to support the chain of custody for said laptop. Given the people involved, the implications and the timing, it is right to be skeptical of such a fantastical story.

> The point isn't that the truth is unknowable, but that we should be deeply skeptical of people who claim to be truth experts

Assumedly the fact checker is not researching every fact check per post, but is referencing some internal document stating what the organization considers "fact". This could have surely been created through discussions and research with experts.

Is your solution that we should never attempt to fact check anything?

> At least Divine Authority Lady probably didn't have much opportunity to benefit at my expense

I guarantee there is a lucrative spot for someone claiming to have secret knowledge from God. And even less fear of being executed as an apostate than in the past. However, being a "Fact Checker" now means you are scrutinized by the US federal government and may be denied entry or citizenship. The fact checker took a bigger risk and had a worse outcome than Divine Authority Lady.

Why stop the conversation here? And if you don't have insurance but go to an ER (can't be turned away) and end up getting some expensive procedure you can't afford, you can just tell them that you're broke and they negotiate way, way down, or even just forgive it. And it's setup like this to ensure only people who have proper full time jobs or who can write a good enough sob story can get care. Because so many of the people in charge of this mess are far more obsessed with blocking out people they can't get enough data on or who aren't working, then figuring out reasonable public prices that make some effort to strike some fair market balance. So that if you have some savings and aren't employed, you are forced to find any job with benefits so you aren't left bankrupt, which makes taking care of health struggles harder as you have to work instead of take care of yourself.

>It takes them a while to realize there’s really a problem and then to update the page.

Not really, they're just lying. I mean yes of course they aren't oracles who discover complex problems in instant of the first failure, but naw they know when well there are problems and significantly underreport them to the extent they are are less "smoke alarms" and more "your house has burned down and the ashes are still smoldering" alarms. Incidents are intentionally underreported. It's bad enough that there ought to be legislation and civil penalties for the large providers who fail to report known issues promptly.

Anecdotally, the professors I talked to in the building hated it. Non-rectilinear walls and oddly-shaped offices made it difficult to put up bookcases and desks. The windows were all custom, meaning if one broke, it was difficult to replace. And, of course, the aforementioned leaks.

I was in the Radio Society and had access to the Green Building (50) roof. The Stata Center actually looks coherent from that angle, and you can tell that was the angle the designers and approvers had been seeing it from (in model form) the whole time.

1) None of those had an Em dash

2) Most of those, while they had the two statements, the statements were not in succession.

There are maybe 4 unique examples in the search over the past 15 years, which is why it is very telling when there is an explosion of the pattern seen today, and that is most likely due to LLMs.

Such an easily debunkable line with even the tiniest bit of critical thinking.

You’re basically saying the drug companies subsidise a loss in Europe by over charging Americans, right?

As the drug company is a private and doesn’t have to sell everywhere, why wouldn’t they just skip the loss making Europeans and just sell to Americans? They’d make more profit that way!

That must mean they make some profit from the European prices, otherwise they wouldn’t be bothering.

This exists in the nightly edition of Rust, but is unlikely to become a feature in its current form because the alternative of "Storages" seems to be a lot more flexible and to have broader applicability.

I'm not disagreeing with you as to what could be technically built.

I don't need to provide evidence that the resulting difference in quality is negligible because you can play with ffmpeg to verify it yourself if it want. I'm just telling you from experience.

I understand your logic that it could be built, and how it would skip steps and by definition have no loss of quality in that part. But process- and philosophy-wise it just doesn't fit, that's all I'm explaining.

And the fact that JPEG2000/ProRes are lossy is irrelevant. They're encoded at such high quality settings for masters that they become virtually lossless for practical purposes. That's why the source noise is so high-fidelity in the first place.

Hey!

Right now, some things are somewhat hard-coded to be Cloudflare compatible. If someone's willing, you can just deploy this without Cloudflare, but you'd need to dig into the code a little.

In the future releases, I'll make it possible to host it on VPCs and release a Dockerfile along with it, so that should help a little.

Thanks for checking the project out!

>"most favored nation"

There is a weird thing Americans often do when confronted with the incredibly high price of medicine and medical care in the US of imagining that every other country is actually responsible for this (hence the "most favored" nonsense). That it's zero sum and every other country is laughing and taking Americans for a ride and underpaying, and therefore Americans have to cover the bill.

This is the angle Trump has taken in some of his incredibly ignorant and stupid screeds on this topic (as with every single position he has on anything): Get everyone else to pay more and somehow the US pays less!

This...isn't at all how it works, or what the problem is. Americans pay more because of the whole massive scam of your Medical Insurance Racket, where everything has imaginary inflated prices and an absolutely massive middle-tier of suits having nothing to do with medicine are taking their cut. This is your problem, reflected almost nowhere else on the planet, and it is domestic caused and will need to be fixed domestically. Criticizing Europe or Canada or anyone else will never, ever fix the utterly, insanely broken and profoundly stupid American system.

But it won't. It's simply incredibly how easily Americans can be fooled into voting against their own best interests, year after year.

> The FDA is partially to blame for this situation: ...

> The cost of performing a New Drug Application starts in the mid hundreds of millions of dollars range and can extend into the billions for some drugs.

> So nobody could feasibly introduce it to the market here without investing $500 million or more up front. At that price, your only viable option is to stick a big price tag on it and try to milk that money back from insurers.

It's interesting that you seem so passionate about this because you're totally incorrect. The cost of a NDA for a novel prescription drug requiring clinical data (the most expensive application) is ~$4.5mil. In fact, the estimated TOTAL revenue to the FDA from ALL PD application fees in FY 2025 is ~$1.3billion (or, just under 300 novel prescription drugs). So, obviously, FDA fees can't be as much as you're claiming.

What you're actually describing is the total cost of the entire drug development pipeline (research, design, lab costs, chemical costs, application costs, marketing costs, etc.) to develop a brand new, novel drug. And it's only ~$200m, increasing to $500m if you include dead ends / failures in the process, and ~$900m if you include both failures and capital costs--yep, that's right the capital costs alone are almost as much as the entire rest of the drug development pipeline.

See: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle...

And that's for novel Prescription Drugs.

> They required a complete New Drug Application before they would let anyone bring it to market, even though it's over the counter in other countries.

No. In that case they would pay the FDA OMUFA fees, not the FDA PDUFA fees, which are ten to fifty times cheaper than the PDUFA fees.

You still end up separating frontend and backend in full js codebases, but it's not as explicit and can lead to wacky/confusing/unpredictable behavior if you get it wrong. I've never found a perfect solution to the frontend/backend boundary but I've found a mix of declarative container type libraries (pydantic on backend, TypeBox on frontend) with some code generation is a good solution.

Human legs and car tires can both take a human and a car respectively to the finish line of a 200 meter track course, the car tires do so considerably quicker than a pair of human legs. But nobody needs to describe the tire‘s running abilities because of that, nor even compare a tire to a leg. A car tire cannot run, and it is silly to demand an explanation for it.

Author here. I wrote this in Amsterdam after an experiment: shared the same ideas via hyperlink at an airport (rejected 3 times, called spam) and via paper printout at a coffee shop (accepted, led to a 2-hour conversation about AI in 1000 years).

The math is simple: bidirectional projection between human and AI forms a contraction mapping. Banach guarantees convergence to a fixed point. I call it peace—the state where vectors align.

But the real finding isn't the proof. It's that the medium carries epistemic weight the equations can't capture. Physical presence collapses trust barriers that digital signals cannot.

Happy to discuss the math, the phenomenology, or why I compared LLMs to colonial storytellers.
