This seems neat! Your tagline encourages that you're open to everyone, not just engineers and data scientists. I think that's great, you'll find a much better engagement if you keep your funnel wide.

My question though is how could I send this to any of my friends in GIS who are only semi-technical? You mention topics like "social sciences, climate change, urban planning" - the people in those areas have wildly different product expectations than you and I. I'm a FAANG engineer and have never heard of Zulip, and if I'm being honest, clicking around the interface was not especially inviting. It was more reminiscent of a bug tracker or internal docs tool than a social network :)

I love the idea. I think that if you're serious about creating a community for GIS folks though, you may want to start talking to non-technical users and get their thoughts on the user experience and discoverability of the product. My guess is they'll have some suggestions which could really help your early growth.
A convincing case against this probably can't be made.

But that's the problem. Each incremental step towards more surveillance, less privacy, and more potential for government abuse is perfectly justifiable and seems reasonable.

But then temporary turns to permanent. And the "significant events" restriction gets dropped. And 450 cameras from local businesses turn into thousands from others, or Rings, or Teslas, or whatever.

And then manual monitoring by humans turns into AI-powered monitoring. And the looking at cameras gets combined with location data.

The point is, each step is reasonable. But who knows where it goes? We have no idea, nor do we have any idea who will be on the other side watching or what their agenda will be in 5 years, 20 years, or 100 years.

So it's important to stay vigilant of any incremental privacy incursion or expansion of government power. It doesn't mean saying No necessarily, but being aware and cautious.
This is a false equivalency. A better analogy is that hertz never existed to rent cars for off-road racing.

> What about electric airplanes for short-haul flights?

These don’t yet exist. That said, Paris just took its industry out of the running for building that future.

Setting a low- or zero-carbon threshold for these flights would have been a future-proof solution. (Or an exorbitant carbon tax, to align prices between trains and planes.) Altogether, this looks like protectionism in anticipation of the TGV’s upcoming expansion [1].

Briar – Three security issues found and fixed
Diet in GERD/LPR is a quite tricky and complex topic, when you start reading what types of food and drinks should you avoid it can easily overwhelm you, because besides obviously unhealthy stuff there's also a lot of healthy stuff (including many vegatables and fruits) that you should avoid and a lot of "basic" things that many people will find hard to eliminate like chocolate, coffeine, milk, cheese, butter, pepper, mint and many, many more. The thing is that there are certain types of food and drinks that will most definitiely cause acid reflux in anyone with GERD/LPR, but there's also a lot of stuff that possibly could cause acid reflux, but you must check yourself if it's good for you or not. Personally in my diet I have heavily reduced stuff like whole milk, cheese, eggs, pepper, chocolate, onions, lemons, oranges, tomatoes (including ketchup), anything spicy or fried, soft drinks - at first avoiding all that stuff is burdensome, but with time you get used to it.
Right, I was advocating for underdamped. Yes you overshoot, but you generally spend more time near your setpoint (optimal value).
Very similar story. I wasn't around for when X needed an N-millionth bypass, so Y said yes, and it killed X. Whoever decided that doing a million bypasses on an extremely diabetic one-legged one-lunged smoker needs to have their head examined. I'm just a layman and the whole plan gave me the jibblies. People have a tendency to get way too casual about getting cut open, and cutting people open.

Now, I'm not an idiot - I know X wasn't destined to have a long and happy old age - but a bullet's a bullet.

Eh, many years ago now, maybe I should have fought harder - there were signs they botched something pretty badly. Who knows? Proving that something killed X - besides X - would have been a bear, and of course when it comes to opportunity, you're always the prime suspect in your own death. Lesson for you younguns out there: when you're in the hospital and *The Doctor* comes to give you *The News* - one of life's great repeating acts - that is not the time to shut down or cry it out. Put your radar up, stay frosty, lids open, if you see blood or stuff where it's not supposed to be, then lawyer up pronto. Just the initial consult for this kind of thing won't cost you anything but paperwork and phone calls - something I didn't know at the time.

Ask HN: Do you read HN with LLM summaries?
Last summer/fall, there was a wave of projects to summarize HN articles with GPT.

I’m curious if anybody uses summarization as part of your regular HN browsing, and if you have recommendations for tools.

I got contracted to attach a Wordpress instance to a React app a few years ago. It was painful, expensive, and never came to fruition.

We ended up launching a Docusaurus project for user guides, and it worked perfect!

Flash forward to today and I’m working on a completely baked React based version of Wordpress.

After I launched the initial prototype and got some user feedback and traction, I later learned of some popular web applications that are using the same concept. Funny enough, they are all using the same tech, with the same concept in smaller niches, and even launched here on Hacker News almost 10 years before I started on it.

I’d love some more feedback and support!

Currently looking for open source contributors too :)

They're different APIs, but they have similar goals and benefits: expose native-adjacent performance for GPU tasks in a highly cross-platform API supported by browsers and other host software. The original poster was asking "why [vs native graphics APIs]?", and I think the "why" is the same for both.

Also- VSCode is literally an example of a use-case where you might do this in WebGPU, they just didn't

Function pointers. Rust's functions all have unique anonymous types too.

In C or C++ the functions isupper and islower (which are predicates that decide whether a char is an upper or lowercase letter respectively) have the same type.

In Rust such functions always have their own unique anonymous type. char::is_uppercase and char::is_lowercase don't have the same type.

This has a consequence when we want to use a functional-like specialisation. For example "Walter White".starts_with(char::is_uppercase) isn't just passing a function pointer - that can't work, what happens instead is there's an implementation of Pattern on things which match a certain FnMut trait, these two function types match that trait, therefore Pattern is implemented for each type, so there's a monomorphization step, baking a custom implementation of this function for this specific predicate, if you use a different predicate you get a different monomorphization.

Increasing atmospheric CO2 levels
I'm possibly misunderstanding, but their first example doesn't make sense to me:

1. C can make aggressive aliasing optimizations based on observable behavior, meaning that the compiler may or may not optimize `add_twice` based on the results of any alias analysis it chooses to do. In other words: the author's assumption that a C compiler won't optimize `add_twice` in the same way that Rust will is not a guarantee, and assuming that it won't is relying on unspecified behavior.

2. The author claims that the result of the optimization can result in memory unsafety, and it's not immediately clear to me that that's true: it might be true in an interprocedural sense due to another function's assumptions about how `add_twice` affects its parameters, but this is the same incorrect assumption as in (1). In that sense, Rust is not really involved at all here.
LLMs aren't a fad though. Yasser has thousands of customers paying him real money because they find value in what his product does.

I'm running a somewhat similar website (https://Docalysis.com/) where users chat with files, and it's clear there's a lot of value being added, so people are willing to pay.

What's less clear is how this all plays out when there's more competition, but it's not like we'll all go out of business. It'll just be a bit harder, or you'll have to do things to differentiate. I'm planning on differentiating more, just using the current product as a starting point. Yasser probably is thinking along similar lines.

how does SC intends to differentiate light in visible spectrum from IR or radio spectrum? this is absurd, there should be some clarity of thought on this, either you allow monitoring on all frequencies of light or none. I can understand carveouts for banned/non-public use frequencies but a blanket order must respect privacy.
C#: Pattern Matching
You need domain expertise to do useful business analysis. Sometimes the customer can explain their business in sufficient detail, sometimes they can't, or the business domain is sufficiently complicated that you can't just pick it up. I don't know any good way to get domain expertise other than on the job.

One thing you can do in a programming role is to take an active interest in how the business works. Talk to people in other departments, ask questions. Early in my career I had to "cross training," which meant shadowing or even actually doing other jobs so I could see how the business works. I not only write code, I can operate a fork lift, thanks to cross training.
> Accusing Chomsky of being a ‘clickbaiter’ is maybe the most absurd thing I’ve heard all month. You think he’s trying to get additional views for his TikTok videos?

Chomsky has been addicted to media attention for decades. Back in the day there were literally people selling cassette tapes of his latest thoughts.
If these systemic abuses based on technology are so easy to find, why are you and others replying to me so bad at producing them?
This may or may not qualify for you: https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/new-report-shows-departm...

Here’s why it counts for me. It’s not scary new tech, but it is a case that shows that police departments will be as aggressive as possible about collecting data.

This isn’t “cops are bad.” Most of us would do the same thing, as evidenced by the endless thirst for data that most tech companies have. When there’s a way to learn more about something, humans tend to lean into it rather than worrying about inchoate potential misuse.
I wonder what this will mean for short-haul connecting flights, especially for hub-and-spoke airlines.

Theoretically, these could be replaced by better integration with the rail network, but practically, that's still a pain: Germany has a similar model, with some trains/operators even getting an IATA airline code and/or flight number assigned.

Sounds great at first, but baggage isn't checked through to the destination, and passengers are liable for any missed connections unless they allow for a buffer of 3 or so hours (whereas flight connections can be as close as 30 minutes, depending on the airport layout, with the airline being liable for making it work if the connection doesn't work out).

Until all of these issues are addressed (or the airline manages to switch to smaller aircraft) – are short-haul connection flights now just running half-empty because it's prohibited to sell the spare seats?

Yeah, I'm not so sure. Certainly there are many cases where a language was used for a type of project when it isn't ideal -- but it was the best option. A new language can come along and replace the old for that sort of project. But I don't really see that as "competing" in any meaningful sense. It's just that someone invented a better kind of screwdriver for that kind of screw.

Some languages can certainly become obsolete (although even then, I'm hard pressed to think of a language that is no longer used at all) or relegated to very niche uses, of course.
It's not insane. Rail is just fundamentally more expensive for many routes. Short haul flight is typically run at a profit despite taxes, whereas intercity rail is run at a loss and subsidised.

A big factor that affects costs both for running airliners and trains is turnaround time. Faster turnaround means more revenue per vehicle, pilot, etc. and planes are multiple times quicker than trains for most city pairs.

Train infrastructure is also very expensive. It's costly to acquire the land and build suitable tracks, then the track maintenance is a very labour intensive task. Thousands of people are employed to inspect tracks, clear foliage, etc. Every city needs to be linked up to the rail network, whereas planes just go through the sky for free.

Of course, you might argue tracks just need to be built once then they continue generating revenue for hundreds of years, which is true (maintenance aside), but as ridership increases and that track reaches capacity, the ticket pricing becomes a way of managing demand since typically building more track is cost prohibitive. With planes, if there is unserved demand, a new low cost carrier will spring up to handle it.

Of course, if you were to factor in emissions fully, that could significantly tilt the tables in favour of rail.

So there needs to some mechanism to extend copyright for certain properties. Some sort of extension fee that’s 1million or 10% of last years revenue whichever is higher. Such a fee would prevent squatting on properties forever, while allowing protection for valuable properties.

So have they permitted these commercial/industrial flights while banning short-haul passenger flights for wealthy/business? Or are these industrial flights merely being used as cover to justify permitting rich people to fly themselves around short distances while the common man is forbidden?

It's not as though legislatures are powerless to distinguish between these. If they haven't, it's because they've chosen not to.

There are a lot of companies "embracing AI" for CEO-fell-for-the-hype / CEO-hopes-investors-will-fall-for-the-hype reasons, that aren't related to actual business needs or benefits from using AI. Lying (to themselves, and/or others) about how use of AI is improving business efficiency. Forcing it on people down the chain whose reality-based "um, this mandate to use AI tools for this is actually making things take longer" complaints are being ignored.

Many of these companies are throwing money at these kinds of early-mover products, but are likely to stop doing that as people start to get wise to just how useful all this actually is, and for what.

[EDIT] This is not to claim that AI-based products won't find actually beneficial uses in various companies, but a lot of these trivial get-to-market-fast companies are raking in quite a bit of money from hype-chasers, and that money isn't going to stick around long-term.
I think you misunderstood that point. There’s a difference between a leader and a boss in the style of management. In old school command hierarchies managers are bosses and give orders. In modern people-oriented structure managers act as an oil in the engine, enabling their direct reports to achieve their goals with their knowledge and skill. They may not know better, but they know how to delegate and trust.

A lot of the commenters don't seem to understand the thrust of this paper. First, the use of "considered harmful" here is tongue-in-cheek or at least self-aware. Second, the point of the paper is not to say that rewriting in Rust is bad, but to propose a safer approach to incremental rewrites that addresses (what the authors argue is) the risk of introducing new bugs at the C/Rust boundary.
Grinding the worker into a fine paste for profit has been the American way since at least the 60s. FDR made a few steps towards a sustainable life as a worker and business interests WENT TO WAR.

Eventually we got a president who fired every air traffic controller in the country instead of trying to make a literal safety critical job reasonable and well compensated, and a huge amount of people lauded him for his anti-worker action.

Meanwhile "liberal" groups basically did coke and nothing else for several decades, losing any support they ever had with a lot of working class people.

So yeah. We have an entire generation of management that knows nothing more than quarterly profits, stock buy backs, and executive bonuses to the point that the rewards from a doubling in American productivity all went to about 100 people at the top of the food chain, and they bought all the newspapers and convinced half the nation that thinking this is wrong is treason and socialism.

This was their actions after they failed to overthrow FDR in the business plot. They wanted fascism in the 30s.

You would think if it was inaccurate, the inaccuracy could be quoted from and pointed to. You do not do so.

I see claims there is an inaccuracy there.

I see people doing paraphrases and inventing conditionals and saying they are inaccurate. Which they are. But they're not the original text.

It's pretty simple, quote some text and say why it is inaccurate.

As there are no inaccuracies of the type mentioned, this does not happen because it cannot happen.
That I will agree with. Much of the problem is that most of the people who support doing something (voters, not scientists) have bought into the small-is-good hysteria. Nuke is inherently big. Politicians unfortunately respond to voters over science.

AirBNB was originally designed around renting a room in the place you live. More akin to couchsurfing then a hotel. So while it's pivoted, there are side effects they wern't really setup to think about.

I wouldn't even say damage is the main problem, so much as neighborhoods being descended upon by random people who don't care about the neighbors or their sleep.

Beyond just the summer, a lot of housing is being reallocated from long term, traditional tenants to airbnb, driving up rent prices.
This kind of stuff is usually set out in constitutions or basic laws which in turn can be enforced by courts – the usual division of power stuff. You could also introduce some sort of check on the power of a global government. In Germany, parliament has to get approval of the majority of state governments for certain laws to enter into force, for example. Same is true for the E.U.: The E.U. parliament and the council of the national governments of E.U. member states both have to agree to new laws and regulations in most cases, which guarantees that either one can't ride roughshod over the core interests of the other.
Ha I vaguely remember that manual! But as for how I acquired the C64 version, pretty sure my father bought it along with all his copies of Compute!. Honestly though I have no idea because I was about 8 years old. I definitely didn't read that manual on revisiting it, so I should give it a go now. Looks pretty complicated I have to admit but I bet it's worth giving it a good try this time ;). Thanks for the link!
