> the queer descendants of Asian immigrants may often share experiences that are quite distinct from those of queer black folks.

OK, but keep going. The queer descendants of Asian immigrants may often have experiences that are quite different from those of other queer descendants of Asian immigrants, too.

So you can make some generalizations and find some patterns, but those generalizations and patterns can turn into stereotypes if we aren't very careful.

As bitwise said in the GP, people are individuals. They share some subset of the experiences of the various groups of which they are members. Those experiences shape them in ways that have some similarities with the characteristics of the groups as a whole, and also have some differences. For anything that you think is a characteristic or a shared experience of an intersectional group, you can find members who do not share that.

I believe LLMs could be useful here as a component of pre-commit hook.
> It's worth asking how we can make our systems safer against large corporations shady influence.

Just to be clear, this story is about Apple exerting editorial control over content that they paid for, not about them trying to influence the content on the Daily Show.

Anyone who's worked in media has stories of topics being suppressed by the owners, and that's definitely something that could stand to be more transparent, but this article isn't evidence of large corporations having any influence over unrelated media outlets.
Ask HN: Is there an organisation which helps OSS maintainers get funding?

This is a really clever take. A recurring trope with both fantasy and sci-fi is the ancient / incomprehensible artifact guarded by lethal traps dating back thousands of years.

I haven't typically thought along the lines of "this deadly trap is for your own good" but with radioactive waste it might really be for your own good.

I forget where it was but some radioactive components of medical equipment made it's way into a scrap yard and caused all sorts of problems including long term medical issues and death of several people as well as being in a densely populated area. It feels a bit weird to put a deadly trap into a medical device but there's at least one instance where it would have saved a lot of heartache.
Yea there's some nuance here. But one of the beautiful things about Python is the existence of PEPs. One would have to write a PEP to get a new dunder method added to CPython. During the review/discussion of the PEP it would come up that one of the most popular ecosystems in all of Python would be impacted by adding a builtin __array__ dunder method, for example. It just wouldn't happen. It makes sense to me that the biggest packages associated with a language can have some impact on the way the language moves forward, even if they are not part of the core implementation. For example, the impact of PEP 563 on Pydantic (another wildly popular package outside of core) caused it to be rolled back.
The things I really wish I could use AI to do are the things I have the least trust in AI doing correctly. Things that are too easy to screw up and have the worst consequences. It's funny when the AI texts your mother that you "stopped to let a group of fucks cross the road". It's not funny if it deletes the wrong files or misconfigures a remote device's network settings.
Hey, thx for the feedback, yeah you're seem to be right, I guess I didn't targeted well.
Im going to go and say that you can make your own Tunder methods if you dont want to mess with confusing the Dunder core.

The post said "hoarding of talent during the 0% interest rate years". That would be right smack dab in the "ten years ago" spot.
Thank you for explaining it in so much more detail than I had the patience for.

Who is the ultimate insurer without any insurance backing? I’m guessing every topic of loss has a different insurance company. Massive fire damages (electric company wild fire) is by one firm. Massive equipment destruction (crane collapse) is by another firm. But there has to be an ultimate uninsured bag holder. (I remember Warren Buffet once saying he will be allocating $10 billion for insurance, I guess in a savings account just in case anyone needs it while he is offering insurance plans on it .)

I actually just submitted something quite relevant - a side project we soft-launched today that uses LLMs to analyse and group browser tabs across various browsers and devices. It turns out that it’s super demanding for today’s models, but with some optimisations and experimentation, we made it work pretty well.

Running local LLMs might be a heavy order currently to get the job done, but in the near future I don't see a reason why it couldn't be done and it would definitely be quite helpful to people who have either many tabs open or a lot of bookmarks they want to organise.

Ironically, Opera's extension shop is dead and no one reviews new submissions, but for anyone else who is interested in learning more about how we use LLMs to improve the browsing experience or even give the product a shot, here is a link:

The answer is pretty simple. Make those clauses unenforceable, as well as non compete clauses. You could do it relatively easily without new regulations and fines and all the bs associated with new anti big tech initiatives.

Overall I don't think it's a winning proposition for the companies involved. So if they want to have an internal rule that forbids them from hiring people, they're just shooting themselves in the foot and will suffer consequences and give up eventually or cheat since it's unenforceable
I've known plenty of people who left the big West Coast tech employers for elsewhere--possibly/probably for less money. Lots of reasons not to want to work for Google or Amazon.
>> This really isn't that surprising. The FAANGs, including Apple, have committed serious anti-trust violations especially their hoarding of talent during the 0% interest rate years to prevent them from starting competitors then freezing hiring and laying off en masse once the interest rates started rising.

> What is "hoarding of talent"? These are human beings and they have a right to work where they want. Let's be clear, apple "hoards" talent by offering them competitive pay and benefits.

The thing you're missing is that FAANG exploited short-term individual level incentives to create an environment that was more hostile to those individuals in the long term.

Sure, they may have gotten paid more for a little while, but where are they going to go when FAANG decides to dump them, because they didn't actually need them? The FAANG's actions inhibited the creation of those opportunities, because those opportunities competed with FAANG.
I work for Flagsmith these days, but formerly I was in charge of managing a lot of Trust and Safety related concerns for Clubhouse. This involved deleting a lot of records to appease regulators and creating custom features to handle stuff like CSAM and we used a lot of feature flags there to keep systems safe in case of an event.

The most important architectural decision that we made was pushing some of the feature flagging into the software layer. So, for example, every task had a module name and a task name that together would form the feature flag name. So out of the box any task could be disabled without adding further code. Combined with other good practices it went a long way. Another good option is to enable local evaluation mode[0] which allows a balance between keeping your feature flags up to date while avoiding API calls frequently.

[0] As an aside, I've worked on the implementation of local evaluation mode for one of our clients (I think Python?) at Flagsmith.
Dividing oppressed and oppressors neatly along some superficial trait is great for making politics. Especially when historical correlations were strong. But you often have to bend backwards to explain the complexities of reality where sometimes women oppress women and men who oppress women at the same time oppress men even more.

Exactly what I noticed. They presented very appealing research illustrating how suburbs can improve and still say “nah, that’s fine because it is already part of me…”

At least they presented the research, I guess..
> Neoliberalism/anarcocapitalism has stoned these corporations

Either you’re implying that neoliberalism is the same as anarchocapitalism, or you’re suggesting that Apple embodies both at once. In the grand argument over how much government we need “neoliberals” would answer “less”, but a long way from answering “none” like the ancaps. Try and find an AnCap who wants government police, a state military, etc and then try and find a neoliberal who doesn’t want them. That is a pretty impactful difference! I know of no evidence to suggest that Apple falls into either camp let alone both at once! Perhaps these are examples of terms that for a certain crowd have become mere epithets used with only superficial understanding. It might also explain the alleged sins you then list off assuming we all would agree they apply.
This book has an interesting insight on these matters.

To me the 20th century leaders completely failed to understand the immensity
of the changes brought by information tech and so failed to use the legal tools available. The anti-monopoly laws were only applied to Microsoft, as I recall, around the browser/Operating-System combination. That showed they had little understanding of the big picture IMHO.

So they missed that one, imagine how badly they are going to miss the AI revolution...
Holy shit this is cope. I lived in suburbia and it was hell. Everything was an hour walk away, and biking was dangerous as fuck since no sidewalks, and winding roads made it so that every twist in the road was another chance to slam into the speeding hood of a car.
Right, we don’t know that, but we have yet to hear of one case where a supply chain attack on a FOSS project resulted in someone getting arrested.
Maybe but only once in a while, I wonder how much legitimate software relies on the kernel name at runtime (vs compile time)?

Also consider it may only trigger if five syscalls to uname come in sequence from the same process. I suspect without evidence this pattern is less common.
I'm in the same boat as you. I felt miserable living in a city and I find rural-suburban life to be an improvement that was large enough I wouldn't consider going back.

EU's chat control proposal [pdf]
Given how spread the copies could be, and that we know when the bad actor gained the level of control needed to upset history, or if we want to go further back when that user started making contributions, it is likely that by comparing many claims we can prove to a reasonable level of assurance¹ that a given version is untouched in that regard.

Furthermore the original main maintainer seems to have a repository with an untouched lineage. While true paranoia says they can't be trusted without verification (he could be under external influence, as could anyone) I think we can safely give their claims more credence than those of Honest Ivan.

It's not a closed system with a fixed number of employees. They overpay for labor, which encourages more engineers to go into the field, which increases supply. Never underestimate the elasticity of supply.

Sorry but you're not going to convince me that high wages are a bad thing.
> Simracing: getting faster doesn't make you win races. Getting more consistent does.

I think this is absolutely true at the lower levels, but once you hit a baseline of consistency, the faster drivers do win races by simply being faster. It can be maddening them trying to recreate their line but still being an entire second per lap slower. But when racing closer to the beginner level, simply being able to complete every lap at a consistent pace does indeed put you at a massive advantage over others.

Show HN: Find hotels and lodges to stay at in Africa
Launched CloudSafaris African Hotels & Lodges today. Accommodations are a crucial part when planning a trip and we found there was a lack of quality, consolidated information for African properties. My co-founders and I spent several months in Kenya and Tanzania finding good suppliers and gathering as much information as we could so we could make the property search easier for hotels & lodges in Africa (currently in Tanzania & Kenya).

PS. We’re launching an API soon so if you have a travel marketplace you’ll be able to display these properties and sell trips to Africa (Tanzania & Kenya) on your site - send me an email at josh@cloudsafaris.com if you’re interested in our beta version.
Well, it is and it isn't: It has mutable pointers (branches and tags) to immutable nodes in a graph (commits).
That relies on some heuristics which can be worked around, unless you disallow rewriting history.

But the bigger issue is that this is some theoretical system which is not present in most git repositories.
From what I remember from the ATI days (aah, sweet memories), it was often the case of either you card was working great and the driver was much more up to date with the latest kernel tech, or the card was a mess to make work under linux.
With NVidia, you were more sure that your car was going to work, but they were often not implementing certain kernel tech, or they had their own weird way to do things, which often mean that you had to configure Xorg and some app with some weird workaround for NVidia.

It seems like it didn't change much since those times. AMD card are still a fifty fifty, and NVidia still make open source maintainer write documentation for their card ( https://wiki.hyprland.org/Getting-Started/Master-Tutorial/#n... )
I find it intriguing that out of all the speculative comment threads I've read so far, none of them have suggested it was Microsoft attempting to make FOSS look bad/vulnerable.

There’s also a risk that you could spend a long time making some nice behavior possible with dunders, but then people using your object don’t know about it because a lot of the new behaviors don’t get surfaced in typical IDEs.
If memory serves DST is mostly a historical thing for farming and other daylight-centric work due to the Earth's rotational tilt in relation to the sun, right? Unless we have farmers on the moon where this is a consideration I would hope not, given that it's a source of confusion and complexity in timekeeping software.
Is AMD's situation even fixable? Since 2022, if you were doing AI, was there any reason at all to have an AMD GPU over an NVIDIA? If you're just someone who wants to try out some of the cool projects shared on HN alone, you'd have been left out of the conversation entirely for the last 2 years.

The worse part is that they had an internal project that could've enabled CUDA applications to run with ROCm, but they stopped funding it [1]

This is all to say - AMD GPUs make sense if you're a gamer and if they're cheaper than an NVIDIA where-ever you buy your GPUs. But otherwise, it feels like buying a SymbianOS phone while Android and iOS were into their second or third generations.

That's unfortunate but good to know!

But isn't linux default graphics basically supporting AMD without drivers? (Open source)
You are right. I was mistakenly thinking that the alternative (naive approach) would be to write the promise-creating tasks within the for loop, but if they are not part of the loop, the functionality is basically equivalent to Promise.all.

// A -- Async and parallel
const results = await Promise.all(data.map((i) => delay(i)));

// B -- Functionally equivalent to the above
const promises = data.map((i) => delay(i));
const result = [];
for (let a of promises) {
const r = await a;
result.push(r);
}

// C -- Problematic and naive approach: much slower
const result = [];
for (let i of data) {
const r = await delay(i);
result.push(r);
}
Why? Just use UTC, there is zero reason for anything else.

ETA: There is a minor relativistic issue due to the reduced gravity. If the figures I found online are correct, we are talking about 0.02 seconds per year. Surely such a small difference can just be "smeared" away periodically?
The way you see the cost is when you go to buy anything new, the price of the item goes up because the background insurance is a little bit higher.

If the insurance is too high, businesses shut, market price goes up and economy slows down, leading the govt to print more money for stimulus which in turn devalues the previous losses, with justified inflation.
I’m not sure if that’s what you’re driving at, but this looks like type classes?

AMD employs people to write the open source drivers. They have access to internal resources. I think it is possible that the public docs are incomplete.

The actual policy has pretty clear explanation why LTC is needed:

> Additionally, the navigation accuracy a system can achieve with signals from multiple space-based assets, such as a person navigating on Earth with signals from Global Positioning System satellites, depends on the synchronization of those assets with each other. At the Moon, synchronizing each lunar asset with an Earth-based time standard is difficult — due to relativistic effects, events that appear simultaneous at the Earth (e.g., the start of a broadcast signal) are not simultaneous to an observer at the Moon.

...

> Precision applications such as spacecraft docking or landing will require greater accuracy than current methods allow

...

> Beyond these operational challenges, the direct use of UTC at the Moon (i.e., without correction) as the local time scale would have cascading effects for applications that require precise metrology. International System of Units (SI) core unit definitions, including the meter and kilogram, rely on the SI definition of time. Due to relativistic effects, a non-SI unit would introduce uncertainty in core unit definitions. These types of errors will have undesired impacts, such as reducing the accuracy of mapping and inertial navigation products

And if they don't? If you find them alienating symbols of soulless consumption for consumption's sake? If they make you think of the very real and well understood racist practices like redlining, and the gatekeeping of federally backed mortgages that tracked along racist and classist lines? If you consider that they are economically awful, the understood causes of failing city budgets, ever-expanding and ever-clogged highway systems, ecological disasters, etc. etc. etc.? But no by all means, let's continue doing... all of that so that some deadeyed suburbanites can keep playing "look at my big house and my big lawn and my big SUV, what do you mean climate change, I can't go to the city it's scary!"
Improvements to static analysis in GCC 14
Your local pizzeria will probably do well by just not blundering. If the pizzas, location, decor, menu, and staff are good enough then the place will do reasonably well. If you do everything right as a pizza place you survive, if you blunder you go bankrupt. On the flip side, they don't have to do anything original. Just doing OK in all dimensions is the winning strategy.

Software isn't like that. It lives in the right tail of the distribution. You can blunder everything except product and still do extremely well, because software costs nothing to produce. Your gross margins are 95%. You can blunder left and right and it doesn't matter when people like your product and pay for it. Mistakes that would destroy any other low margin business you can shrug off.

A pizza place is a local business. They differentiate themselves from other pizza places by being closer to you.

Software is global. Your tiny startup competes with open source, big tech, and everything in between. If your product is mediocre you'll struggle or fail (and rightly so). If your product is great you get a fire hose that spews money.

In basically every interview with successful founders they joke about the giant mistakes they made (that ended up just not mattering). The kind of blunders that destroy any other business are no big deal in software. The article is wrong and the lesson should be the opposite.

Plans on Proberix include features like full-page rendering and change detection alongside HTTP checks.

Full-page rendering, which basically mimics an actual browser to also help test websites that are client-side rendered, is computationally expensive, unlike simple HTTP checks that are good for server-side rendered pages.

The Change Detection feature, which diffs large HTTP responses between two checks, uses a lot of computing power.
