Sounds cool! Similar to the SID project, assuming you're also aiming for pin compatibility.

I'm curious why you choose the pico platform over something like TinyFPGA which could be near 100% gate level compatible over a pico with software emulation. I bet the < $3 ICE40 has enough gates?

I haven't really looked at the pico2 yet, maybe it's one of those new hybrid arm+fpga designs and you'd have the best of both worlds?

EDIT: sadly no CPLD/FPGA on the pico2 front, at least according to [1]. Pico2 does add a new RISC-5 core (as a coprocessor? I only skimmed...) So I guess you'd have to do a bunch of timer interrupts to keep things in your emulator clock aligned if you're going pin compatible.

Here in Japan as well delivery companies are all moving to EVs, which is great in the neighborhoods where they idle their trucks in the summer when hopping out to make a delivery. Yamato using Mitsubishi Fuso eCanter trucks[0] and Japan Post adopting Mitsubishi Minicab EVs[1] and Honda EV bikes.

Do they?

I was under the impression most EVs cut off the connection to the high voltage battery almost all the time they’re not in use.

They rely on a 12 V battery or a 48 V battery like a normal car.

The only thing I’m aware of that special is that if that low voltage battery gets low enough the car will detect it and recharge it from the high voltage battery, temporarily connecting it for that purpose.

Well, from what I’ve seen, the most likely theory is that the agent who disarmed the man (after another agent had yelled “gun”) then accidentally discharged the weapon, which caused all the other ICE officers to freak out and discharge their weapons.

I don’t want to argue over the broader questions; ie should ICE even be there and doing this; are they adequately trained; are they overly aggressive to tackle this guy and pepper spray him in the first instance; is American law enforcement is way too trigger happy and protective of their own skin; and so on. There’s a lot of validity to all of that. But the narrow story of this particular incident changes a lot if there was an accidental discharge that made the other offices believe he was shooting.

The hierarchy of writers you previously mentioned really suggests archetypes of writers, how do you feel about that last jab in that context? What about in context of the pretentious ass of AI? These are some of the things which I had issue with and things which I felt contributed to the general messiness of the story, that the author never considered the piece as a whole. If I dig into it and look closely instead of look at the whole and notice things like the unrealized metafiction, I would end up hating it, it would make it impossible for me to see the author as anything but a pretentious ass or pandering. At least in context of this one short story and generally I do not judge writers on short stories unless they are exclusively writers of short stories, there is a pragmatism required for the novelist writing a short story.

Beheading Altman could be made to work quite well if it had used the metafiction.

I’ve noticed that has spread from blue collar Americans to everyone now. Like the comment sections on All In podcast’s YouTube videos. Basically worship of billionaires who are in turn MAGA sycophants worshipping Trump. Meanwhile no one cares that the trillions this administration is spending will lead to huge inflation to pay off debt. We will be made poor so billionaires can get a bigger number next to the B.

Considering every time they left not a single thing changed, as though they were never there, because I was the one actually organizing the projects, I doubt they were running circles around me. Likely dicking around with Jira for 5 hours to siphon money from our company instead of actually organizing the project.

> Meanwhile they're pulling the same or greater comp, working half the hours, and "drinking beers with important people" is an accepted part of their job

You took the words right out of my mouth. Almost like it's a made up job and not the real work that needs to get done.

Physical controls and smart cars are not mutually exclusive. That’s why they’ve been fixing that.

I agree that was an idiotic trend.

But if someone wants a car without connectivity, it’s too late. The market is not strong enough to get rid of that. Most people either like it or don’t care enough to avoid it.

Just like most people liked or didn’t care enough to avoid smart TVs.

So that’s all you can buy.

I’ve seen before that this is not followed in certain cases, such as the entire development team being in a specific country where some or many team members don’t know English (well enough). As an anecdote, I’ve seen a team in a large multinational company (US origin) in Spain that used function names, variable names, database table names (and column names), log message text and many other things in Spanish. English was only for the language keywords because that’s what the compiler would accept.

From your own link:

> CBO estimates that as result of P.L. 119-21, U.S. households, on average,
will see an increase in the resources available to them over the 2026–
2034 period. The changes in resources will not be evenly distributed among
households. The agency estimates that, in general, resources will decrease
for households toward the bottom of the income distribution, whereas
resources will increase for households in the middle and toward the top of
the income distribution.

That's hardly a picture of billionaires pulling the strings

Why would I personally thank Euros for "destabilizing the Middle East" when they demonize the US for "destabilizing the Middle East"? That doesn't make any sense. You know the Libya operation was Europe-initiated right? You gonna personally thank the US for going along with it? Lead the way amigo.

>And when you say "we", does that include yourself?

Yes, in the sense that me and my ancestors have been paying taxes to support a military which was supposed to be able to win against the USSR. That money should have stayed in the United States for peaceful purposes. Euros should've defended themselves. If the USSR took over the entire continent that's not our problem. We have to focus on our own problems instead of playing world police.

You can't both demonize the US for its every foreign policy move, and also demand the US protect you. That makes zero sense. You can't both trash the US for its every supposed problem, and also demand that the US pay more attention to Europe's problems. That also makes zero sense. There's nothing coherent in the European ideology beyond just "America Bad". Fine, we'll take our toys and go home. I sure hope it makes you happy.

Then invest in and attract people to build it. I'd move to Europe if the salary was competitive.

IMO start by funding the living crap out of open source projects. Mandate that hardware sold in the EU comes with unlocked bootloaders and documentation sufficient to develop drivers from.

Relax IP protections so developers are allowed to reverse engineer products and build derivative works from them (extending the life of, facilitating compatibility).

Ban security systems used by big companies that enforce OS conformity (like kernel based anti-cheat, or banks disabling tap-to-pay on phones running beta android/rooted).

Double down on platform interoperability - e.g. Allow me to write a chat app that uses Facebook messenger as a back end.

Hey-ho there you go, European competitors to Android/iOS will pop up overnight. Asahi Linux and other OSes will get a shot in the arm (ha).

> when people actually start to believe... that law enforcement officers are worse thugs than regular thugs -- that's a fast way to turn into a failed state, where that actually is true.

It's quite clear that if law enforcement officers are indeed worse or just like regular thugs the failed state will soon materialize regardless of what people think about the issue.

Moreover, isn't the fastest way to a failed state to have people believe that their security agencies are good and proper when in reality they aren't? That kind of naivete is surely a lot worse than a bit of paranoia.

> It's even similar in Kiev, when you walk down the streets you see people living their lives. Gyms, bars, cafes, clubs are full and lively. People don't stop living and enjoying their daily lives just because there's shelling somewhere else in the country.

While it's true to a certain degree, you make it sound like Kyiv residents are having a grand old time right now. But in reality, the majority are trying very hard to keep from freezing to death as Russian attacks targeting their power and heating infrastructure have destroyed much of it.

> but by engaging in this kind of framing you're essentially saying that all [state] violence is excusable by default

I disagree that it has that effect. With the assumption of good faith, comments like GP aren't fishing around for an excuse; the point is to highlight what's legally relevant and where there is room to disagree with the interpretation of video.

I don't think it's plausible that defense for the agents would clutch for a straw like "maybe he had a second weapon". That seems sarcastic and not interested in engaging with the argument seriously.

I've seen a couple different videos now (not from any links ITT) and the most commonly shown one seems to have something obscuring the camera at a critical moment. Nevertheless, it seems highly probable that the man is indeed disarmed well before the first shot. But there will still be more that matters:

* Was the first shot fired by an officer who knew that the weapon had already been taken? In particular, could there have been any miscommunication between the officers?

* Did the victim know the weapon had been taken? I don't think it would be likely to succeed in court, but to my understanding the defense could raise the argument that one or more officers perceived that the victim still intended to draw and fire it.

Ultimately, it boils down to establishing whether there was a reasonable perception, on the part of any officer that fired (I can't tell from the video I've seen who fired or how many shots or anything like that), of a threat from the victim meeting the legal standard to respond with lethal force. This is based on "totality of the circumstances" (as in things the officers knew leading up to the moment of shooting), but specifically based on what a reasonable officer would have been able to deduce in the moment (a high-pressure situation), without the benefit of hindsight.

Most analyses I've seen thus far agree that there was not any solid defense here. Certainly it seems much more likely that someone is going to prison for this than in the Renee Good case. The DHS says they will be investigating.

It was a slow progression. The screen was put there for sat-nav. That was a big seller. Then you wanted backup cameras. That was a big seller. And then you wanted hands-free Bluetooth. That was important, too. And then you wanted voice navigation (which never worked) to accompany the hands-free Bluetooth. And then you wanted CarPlay to listen to audiobooks. And then you wanted bigger screens to show all of this. Finally, you're complaining that all this technology is too much? Why did you ask for it?

i moved to beijing in 2015.. and i have to buy a air purifier, prepare masks for winter. pepople talks about air polutions so much, it feels like we are struggle, not living a life. i remember one day, it was so bad, i have to wear gas mask to go outisde, i know it's rare, and people are staring, but yes, its that hard.

it's 2026 now, you barely see bad days in Beijing, most people wear mask only for the flu, not for the air pollutions. basically its only a few days in winter. and just wait for the wind, it all goes away.

shutdown factory and move them to other places sure helps, but nobody will deny that adopt ev contributes a lot. i remeber the sales data for 2024 is nearly 45%+ of new cars are EV, and 2025 is 51.8%. i'm sure the number will go up and reach nearly 100%.
by omoikane | 2026-01-25 03:29:39+00:00
The surprising part to me is that there are now enough EVs to make a measurable difference, since I kept thinking they are still relatively rare. The linked study has this piece of data:

From 2019 to 2023, ZEVs increased from 2.0% (559943 of 28237734) to 5.1% (1460818 of 28498496).

So 1 out of 20 cars in California is an EV.

We could argue that there didn't need to be change, because favoring the wealthy was already the policy: Wealth concentration was already at historic highs. Taxes were already very low, including capital gains tax (the primary source of income for the very wealthy - return on capital is the primary income of capitalists), social safety net relatively underfunded including widespread lack of health care, social and economic mobility dropping, access to higher education relied primarily on family wealth and not grades, access to housing dropping, etc. State governments brag about no income tax, which means they rely on regressive taxes to pay for the common good.

Regardless, I think the parent comment facts are wrong and there there have been massive changes benefitting the wealthy: There have been massive tax cuts for them, reduction in enforcement of financial laws (e.g., by the SEC, etc.), lagging financial regulation of private equity, destruction of consumer protection (such as the CFPB), massive changes in policy and action to benefit the fossil fuel industry including use of the US military, ... there was a big tax law change to benefit SV founders that was advocated here on HN, protectionist measures increasing prices for consumers and giving the benefits to corporations, etc.
Show HN: VM-curator – a TUI alternative to libvirt and virt-manager
by theYipster | 2026-01-25 03:36:38+00:00
I've long wanted to harness QEMU/KVM for my desktop virtual machines, but I've long been befuddled by virt-manager's lack of support for working nvidia 3D acceleration, dogmatic embrace of ugly XML, and the puzzling UI decision of having to click what seems like 15 buttons to attach an ISO to a VM image. When I further learned that NVIDIA's broken 3D acceleration is the fault of libvirt as opposed to QEMU's virtio driver, I had an idea...

Behold, vm-curator! A fast and friendly vm management TUI written in rust. You can create, configure, organize, and manage VMs directly with QEMU. No libvert. No XML. No wonky UI's. Just the right level of friendliness, customization, and speed to be really really useful.

The best part? 3D para-virtualization works with NVIDIA cards (via virtio-vga-gl!) No jumping through hoops to get GPU passthrough working!

(Disclaimer: This works great with other guest Linux VMs, but is not suitable for Windows gaming. If you want to game on Windows within a VM, passthrough is a must. vm-curator will have fast and friendly support soon.)

Looking for contributors (especially to help with the ascii art,) and donations are welcome. (Claude was a big help, but this was not a vibe-coded affair. We pair-programmed approx. 10,000 lines of code here. It was a great way to learn Rust, actually!)

Not a military wonk, but it’s not entirely clear where these will be useful. This will probably be super useful in Ukraine, where U.S. troops have a solid foothold via NATO allies. But elsewhere, you need to have a solid base, which you may not have, for instance defending Taiwan during an invasion. Also, 750 units produced per months is probably dwarfed by production in Russia or China.

But still, these look impressive and scary.

I've been wanting to setup a new home server for a long time and have been held up way too long in weighing different architectures, so I finally used AI assisted exploration to crash-dive into a NixOS prototype deployment to see if a fully declarative approach could tame configuration drift, encryption, containers, and networking in one place. This writeup walks through building an full disk encryption NixOS prototype with Tang-based auto-unlock, Podman quadlets, and nftables — including the rough edges, undocumented workarounds, and what broke along the way. The takeaway is my assessment of where NixOS will be my future platform of choice.

I'll trade you wxWidgets for FLTK.

Trying to defer to native widget rendering per platform was a mistake, and every time I've touched wxWidgets in the past decade and a half I've regretted it.

FLTK on the other hand is ugly as sin, but I've found it reliable enough to not act in surprising ways, and it's also small enough to where you can vendor it and build it alongside your program.

You say that as if there were something inherently wrong with offering such a defense. That is simply not so.

It is, in fact, possible for shootings by LEO to be justified. And the federal ICE agents are, in fact, law enforcement. Walz and/or Frey are factually incorrect when they assert otherwise, it's trivially looked up, relevant legal statues like 8 U.S. Code § 1357 (https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/8/1357) are quite clear about the agents' powers (which as an objective matter of fact do include situations where they may arrest US citizens without a warrant), and Walz and Frey have no real excuse for their false assertions.

You don't have to like laws that entitle law enforcement to use lethal force in limited circumstances (which seem to be only slightly broader than those extended to ordinary citizens), but the US does in fact have such laws, at both state and federal level. And the consequence of not having them, practically speaking, is that criminals kill officers and/or go free.

And as it happens, there's a clear defense in the Good case. I've already pointed at actual lawyers saying the same and explaining it in detail. And my submission of that (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46596055) got flagged for no good reason.

What counts as doing stuff? Minneapolis has been hitting the streets for days trying to chase a major federal agency out of Minnesota, a cause which I and my elected representatives publicly support. But it's a huge country, Minneapolis is thousands of miles away from me, and outside of airport security I haven't personally seen an agent of the federal government in years. To me, following federal agents around blowing whistles at them and yelling that they'd better leave town seems clearly revolutionary - except that under US law you have a right to do that and the feds can't stop it.

> A lot of Americans take their cat off on purpose for louder noises.

Some people remove catalytic converters when they install a performance exhaust. Nobody is doing it for louder noises because the muffler portion is what dampens the sound.

Also I wouldn’t say it’s “a lot of Americans”. We have emissions inspections in most major cities and your car won’t pass if you remove the catalytic converter. They can now detect modified ECUs, too. Someone would have to be so determined to do this that they’d swap the exhaust in and out every time they had to do emissions inspections.
