I think it's this...

Robotaxi: Tesla's autonomously driven ride hailing service. Currently using Model Y's or whatever, maybe using Cybercabs once those actually exist, maybe eventually also leveraging Tesla vehicles owned by others (lmao no one who has though that through for more than a minute or two actually wants to risk their vehicle like that)

Cybercab: A Tesla vehicle explicitly built for the Robotaxi service, containing no driver controls whatsoever because they're expected to operate without any (local) human oversight

If you did you'd have been in very good company because the world over the scientific consensus was that opioids were addictive.

That scientific consensus you are alluding to is not what you claim it was.

Finally, we're talking about celebrities without any qualification whatsoever spreading utter nonsense causing real harm, you can look at that in isolation and compare it to you making that statement out of an abundance of caution regarding something where there is no downside. The two simply are not equivalent. Free speech absolutists always pull the same trick, aiming to refuse an obvious wrong in order to defend their bastion while forgetting that there isn't a black-or-white at all, you can have some reasonable limits on what people can and can not do and in the age of 'influencers' with global reach the danger is much more prevalent than it used to be.

Free speech is a great good, but it is not the greatest good.

I got to talk to Patrick about this and also someone who was working on the customized connectors.

They had to make some Gen 5-capable custom adapters that plugged into one of the front-of-chassis NVMe bay connectors (thus disabling that bank of 4 drive bays), and then routed that signal all the way back to the rear, using Nvidia's custom edge plug on the card.

Normally, if you're deploying the 800 Gbps ConnectX-8 cards, you have the card in one slot, then a little adapter board right next to it, with a cable NVIDIA makes. But for this, it had to be fully custom.

Would be neat to hear more from STH how that cable was made exactly, because it seems like hand-building PCIe cables can be a bit tricky!

Ok but this thread is about “all tariffs being rent seeking”. Now tariffs are sometimes ok - gotcha.

What has china actually don’t different than America? Was a 10-15 percent subsidy not enough? Were the carbon credits not enough? We’re the limitations on gas cars dependent on ev sales not enough?

As far as I’m aware both china and the us have heavily subsidized ev sales. What’s different?

For the particular use case I mentioned in my earlier post (Visual Pinball), 4k@120 is actually a pretty big deal. We often play on screens 42" and up so the 4k detail is put to good use and makes things like the instruction cards in the corners legible. But the bigger difference is the smoothness in gameplay that 120Hz gets you. The ball travels really fast so 120 Hz helps gameplay a lot while reducing lag at the same time. And because a large chunk of the playfield is static at any one time, you don't need something like a 5090 to hit 120 Hz at that resolution like you might with a triple-A shooter.

The hard part has been to import all the accounts and to categorize the transactions on the 1-2 cards and 1-2 checking accounts that get used a lot. However doing hledger motivated me to simplify things. Either delete cards and accounts. Or barely use them so I can update them once or twice a year. And helps to reduce the number of categories.

I have not made updates for all of 2025 after 3 or 4 years of hledger. ROI diminished once the itch to zero everything wears off and since I have somewhat steady state expenses.

Oh it's much more mundane.

IPv4 "works" and ISPs are incredibly resistant to changing things that "work".

Because support is needed basically end to end, it's going to take an ungodly amount of time for ISPs to figure this stuff out.

It's pretty frustrating having all my hardware support v6 with the only barrier being my ISP who refuses to support it in my location (they support it in other locations).

If you have the target device key, you can impersonate the device later. But how do you get the device key in the real world? I would need to be in pairing mode for you to get it. Even if you did get it, then you can answer my calls if you are next to me, which in the real world is certainly noticeable.

The point I was trying to make is that "Debits increase assets" isn't some esoteric technique; it's a fundamental aspect of double-entry that you'd need to know, but it's also counterintuitive and most of the literature out there is full of bullshit explanations that do nothing to help people understand.

The link you posted is similarly full of bullshit, written by someone who demonstrably does not understand the double entry system (they even say so in the text).

But I'm the sort of person who finds it very grating to have to do something without understanding why I'm doing it. If that's not you then party on.

> No, we've always had effective societal gatekeeping on what kids can access.

Isn't there still a very simple one, hardware access. If the child doesn't have a smart phone of their own or computer in their bedroom then they cannot use them to get online unsupervised. This is about as simple on/off as you can get and very easy to moderate.

I mean the problem will solve itself eventually. As wealth continues to centralize and urbanization continues unchecked, the “renter” voting block will eventually be state-level majorities in places like New York and California.

There are plenty of ways for people to “vote themselves” property, whether it happens peacefully or not is a decision of those in power. The spectrum runs from land value tax to punitive landlord taxes, improving tenant rights, squatter rights, and outright seizure.

I don’t know which path we’ll go down, but some step in that direction feels inevitable within the next 60 years.

> The US wants to check whether people who show up for vacation without a visa have a criminal record.

Surprisingly, (at least some) European countries will tell you directly whether someone has a specific criminal record (given that someone's consent.)

If that's what the US wanted, then that could be given directly. But that's not what the US is asking for.

Miniaturization is expensive and often these kinds of devices rely on some form of subsidy to be cheap enough to reach popular adoption levels. Not to mention the user interfaces these days seem to be built for touch or game controller, and not a lot else.

Your options are things like the CHIP (which is dead, now, I think?), Pocket GPD or other gaming focused ultra-portable, or something like the Pinephone.

Just a heads up:

> By using this service, you acknowledge that terminal sessions may be logged for educational and debugging purposes. No personal data is collected beyond your IP address.

Is this all open source and is the code available? So that we know where the data is truly going?

Hard to trust it if it isn't fully OSS.

This is a cool demo though.

Here's the CDC's most recent recommendations (from 2019) https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/68/wr/mm6832a3.htm

The justification for 27-45 year olds heavily references a meeting. Based on time, author and title, I think either https://stacks.cdc.gov/view/cdc/78082/cdc_78082_DS1.pdf or https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10395540/ should be a fair summary of the meeting (I hope...).

I don't really have time to read it all, but the basic idea is as you said - the cost-benefit ratio is off. Basically expanding from something like the current case, to vaccinating up to 45 year old will avert an extra 21k cases of cancer (compared to the base case of 1.4 million) - so about an extra 1.5% cases averted, while the direct vaccination costs are estimated to increase from 44 billion to 57 billion (+29%).

The current guidance says "do not recommend" plus "consult your doctor". You should read that as "blanket vaccination as public policy is cost inefficient in that age range" not "you as a 45 year old should not get the vaccine categorically".

> And this is incredible motivation for me.

Two caveats: I'm talking about early 2000's Romania where it was quite rare to see really muscular men AND I was in my early 20s, I have no clue if men in their 30s or 40s get the same kind of attention, it was the shallow kind of attention.

By the time my 30s hit I was already married, however we did have a very rough patch where we were very close to divorce, I traveled alone, was part of an NGO and I think a lot of the young women there got a strong clue about how rough things were between me and my wife because I also got a lot of attention from women back then but then it wasn't because of physique - it was because I was their photographer and high status in the NGO and much higher net worth.

Going the traveling groups, I also did get quite a bit of attention, because there were a lot of single women in their late 20's and I'm sure a lot of them got this fantasy they would find their soul mate on such a trip and I was 100% not interested in anything romantic but I was very open to socialize. All sorts of un-intended "adversarial" techniques I noticed worked -- again my portrait photography hobby seemed attractive to the ladies, when I noticed one was too interested, I pulled away so she won't get the wrong idea, which made her even more interested, I also chatted up foreign women in the hostels because I was geniuinely curious about their background -- I had a long conversation with a hot, early 30s phd in fish farming and a young woman in our group started interrupting us by saying "You know, we've been together in this group for 3 days and you haven't spoken to me as much as you did to this foreigner, why?".

The point I'm trying to make is I'm sure having a great physique is sure to be helpful even in your 30s and 40s and it will certainly set you aside, but there are other, more powerful tools to build attraction, alas, some quite manipulative (like social proofing, oblique approach, status, feigned low interest, push pull, triangulation).

I think it's very important to understand where you stand, where your target demographic stands, and where your competition stands.

If you're in an area where all the guys are super fit millionaires, you're not going to have much luck with the ladies there.

I was never in the pickup scene, and I've seen some terribly messed in the head men because of it (bitter redpill types), but I think there are quite a bit of spoken or not so spoken psychoevolutionary tricks out there great to know and take with a huge grain of salt.

Probably the biggest trick is no trick, but to actually be ok with yourself, empathetic, reasonable, have fun by yourself, explore, have healthy boundaries, but still generous, not have/display emotional baggage, basically present yourself as being what the kind of woman you want also wants.

Literally don't stop at the first sentence!!!

> It turns out that reading the (f.) manual actually helps a lot!

The non-recommendation of VLC vs mpc/mpv is literally for playback as I quoted! MPC also doesn't do any encoding, yet it's recommended

> the following sentence mentions hardcoding subtitles.

And that sentence starts with "Apart from simply watching the video" to tell you the same thing the previous sentence told you - that comparison where VLC was not receommended was about playback, not editing

My wife and I have moved all of our personal, individual spending to a dedicated card each. Sure, some stuff still makes it into other cards, but the simplicity makes budgeting so much easier. Even if we only accurate capture 90% of our spending, we close enough to targets that it doesn’t matter.

My general rule is a simple system that works well enough is better than a complex, but precise system.

We build our budget with this slop in mind, so anything left over is bonus.

What didn't you understand? The point isn't whether I do specific thing A or specific thing B, the point is that when I can I do the best in the situation to improve the average. The specifics don't matter. It is the overall impact. OP is playing the "debate" game which is about winning, and not about the issue itself. It is because OP doesn't care to understand, they just want to score points, hence their desire to focus on specific instances.

Had OP said something like "How can you make an informed decision congruent with your ethics when so many ubiquitous companies violate human rights?" that would have been a genuine question. Instead OP said "Tell me why you don't do X" and behind that is "because I win." That's arguing from bad faith (a polite way to describe OP).

I'm a motivated final year CS student who will be ready for full time employment in 07/2026 so I'm seeking junior/graduate level roles that revolve around backend stuff and where I can learn a lot.

I started programming on my own at the age of 15. Since then, I have explored multiple areas, including mobile app development (native and Flutter), web development (React, Next.js, Vue), QA, MLOps, and AI/ML. During this exploration phase, I realized that I want to focus my career on backend development.

My experience includes several internships and side projects. In my most recent internship at JetBrains, I worked on the backend for remote Kotlin code compilation. Prior to that, I worked at Dell on the MLOps team, where I gained exposure to DevOps and some cloud technologies.

You can check out my resume and GitHub (link included in the resume) for a complete overview of my experience and side projects.

Most of my coding experience is in Java and Python. I also really enjoy Kotlin and I am currently learning Go (Golang) by building a simple VPN as a side project. I prefer working with strongly typed languages. For example, I don’t have much experience with Rust or C++ but I’m eager to learn.

Feel free to reach out to me via email or connect with me on LinkedIn. My personal details are included in my resume.

I'm not a programmer, but I like this. It's very easy to use. I can even use gojju on the shebang when writing scripts. I'm a fan. I could package this for ArchLinux User Repository (AUR).

In the long run it would probably nice with a switch or an environment variable to make the banner less intrusive.

The license file seems to be missing.

It is a bit of a trope under self-important bloggers, he seems to have copied and as such it reveals one's depth of understanding. On the one hand: who cares, we all have stereotypes when the resolution is too low. And criticism is due, but not this one.

I think it is a bit of a trade-off, his writings are engaging, but to discuss Europe in a serious way a blog wouldn't cut it, and it would make it possibly quite dry nonetheless. One has to not only understand the EU, their limited budget and mandate, but also the various parties in each country. This is just incredibly difficult to form an accurate picture of, even if there wouldn't be things like centuries old cultures and various languages.

To take away from the doom and gloom, iff the EU is really able to integrate in the next decade(s), form a shared market, my money would be on them.
Both the current US government and Russia fear an integrated Europe, as they would be too big as a prey. Meanwhile, many countries want to join the EU, despite it being a "hell hole", at least if one believes the adversarial content promoted on the big tech platforms. At this moment the current US government supports "nationalistic" parties and corrupt kleptocrats like Orban, trying to break it apart from inside.

Ah yes, collective punishment. Exactly what we should be endeavouring for our professors to do: see the student as an enemy to be disciplined, not a mind to be nurtured.

I know we've had historical record of people saying this for 2000 years and counting, but I suspect the future is well and truly bleak. Not because of the next generation of students, but because of the current generation of educators unable to successfully adapt to new challenges in a way that is actually beneficial to the student that it is supposed to be their duty to teach.

We're seeking software engineers across the full stack. To include,

- engineers interested in governance tooling
- sdk writing in TypeScript or Rust
- or engineers with cryptographic security domain experience
- or deeper hardware level focus (platforming on Kubernetes - confidential computing, custom firmware as it relates to GPUs).

For all of this, we're seeking experienced devrel to help us communicate and build tooling the right way.

His talk last year was clearly one of the most interesting and thought provoking presentations from the last CCC. It is sad that he and his talk is caught up in this.

>Last year, Bach presented at 38C3, where he reduced the human mind to software, fetishized the mismeasure of human intelligence by IQ, and called for the effective dehumanization of humanity (quote: "we anthropomorphize people way too much")

It seems the event you mentioned was not really about an open discussion of his ideas, but took a clearly negative stance even in the abstract...
Show HN: Square Face Generator – A Flash-free tool to generate avatars
by lion__93332 | 2026-01-02 19:43:56+00:00
Hi HN,

I built Square Face Generator because I missed the simple, blocky avatar creators from the Flash era that no longer work today.

Most modern "avatar makers" force you to upload a selfie for AI processing, which often feels like a privacy overkill for a simple profile pic. I wanted something that:

Requires No Flash: It’s built with modern HTML5/Canvas, so it works on any browser/mobile without security risks.

Requires No Photos: It’s a pure generator. You create your identity from scratch rather than having an AI guess your face.

Is Lightweight: No heavy libraries, no sign-ups, just open and generate.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on the UI or if there are specific "square" styles you’d like to see added.

I’ve seen this claim a lot, but I’m skeptical. Has anyone actually published benchmarks showing a big speedup from using the NPU for prefill?

AMD’s own marketing numbers say the NPU is about 50 TOPS out of 126 TOPS total compute for the platform. Even if you hand-wave everything else away, that caps the theoretical upside at around ~1.6x.

But that assumes:

1. Your workload maps cleanly onto the NPU’s 8-bit fast path.

2. There’s no overhead coordinating the iGPU + NPU.

My expectation is the real-world gain won't be very significant, maybe even nothing, but I'd love to be proven wrong!
