There's a great book that I think everyone should read:

"On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century" by Tim Snyder, it's also is short and to the point (audiobook is 2 hours long) and teaches people what to look for to see when their country slides into authoritarianism and what to do to fight it.

The author also reads it on YouTube if you can't get a hold of it.

I don’t think it’s right to make comparisons like this. But if you really want to go there, have you tried comparing the death toll? In Ukraine, it’s likely around three quarters of a million dead in two years.
I'm always looking for the secret management solution for my self hosted apps. This looks very cool, but still unable to solve my biggest problem - how should I manage secrets to access the secret manager?

In my day job, we use AWS SSM. It works great. For my home network, I just put secrets on my docker-compose.yaml. Obviously I shouldn't but I can't find a better solution.
Reminds me of an old Arab tale (paraphrased, from memory, translated):

Once upon a time a man wanted to be handed the title of a poet, so he went to the king of poets at his time, and asked him to give him the title of a poet. The king of poets asked the man, "Do you memorize tens of thousands of the best poetry?", the man said "I do not", the king of poems asked of him: "go memorize them then come back to me". The man went to a faraway isolated monastary, spend a couple of years memorizing the poems, then came back to the king of poets shouting in excitement "I've memorized the tens of thousands of poems! Can you hand me the title of a poet now?". The king of poets asked of him "Now forget them".

Only after years again spent in the monastery forgetting the poems, was the man given the title of a poet.

(Side note: this story also kinda remind me of LLMs, and how they kind of "memorize" text initially but the more data is poured in the more they "forget" the exact texts)
Show HN: SimuForge: Our Take on Modeling and Simulation with Modelica
Hey HN,

We've been working on something called SimuForge—it’s a SaaS tool that uses the Modelica language for modeling and simulation. We're aiming to make it useful across fields like automotive, aerospace, and various mechanical, electrical, and thermal processes.

What’s SimuForge?

It’s a platform where you can:

Drag and drop to build and simulate models using an existing library of more than one thousand simple elements (like tanks, pumps, resistors, triggers, etc.).
Collaborate with teammates in real time.
Integrate it with other tools you already use. Our first use case—and the reason for this project—is integration with Digital Twins to answer "What if" questions: taking real inputs to determine what would happen if certain parameters were changed, and modeling system behavior over time intervals.
Under the hood, we use Modelica—a non-proprietary, object-oriented language specifically designed for component-oriented modeling of complex systems. It’s widely recognized for its ability to describe physical systems and their interactions, from a single component to complex systems spanning multiple engineering domains.

We’d Love Some Feedback:

Could you use something like this in your work?
Are there specific features you’d wish for in a tool like this?
Any thoughts or suggestions you have would be great!
The website is currently just a landing page, and the platform has basic functionality (code editor and simulation runner). We plan to make it open and free for limited use cases in the next couple of weeks after we polish it off.

Thanks a ton!
> Also, Google is immensely better at knowing local shops and finding products.

Tangential, but this is precisely the "problem" with Google search. Whatever the internal decision-making process was, Google search at some point embraced race to the bottom incentivizing outspending others, either by paying for ads or showing ads. This race is ultimately won by content scrapers/generators slapping ads on top and businesses selling stuff.

Anecdotally, there is a pet supply store near me. It's nearly impossible to find on Google maps. If I zoom over the shopping mall this particular store does not appear, if I search for "pet store" it does not appear. Only if I do search for "petstore inc." it appears in results and map. So Google knows about the store, but actively tries to hide it, presumably because Google does not make money off it.

> I have to switch to Google, because it is seriously better at updating the index

On one hand yes, Google is in some cases really quick at updating the index with new entries. However, at the same time it is equally good at updating the index with removals making old content very hard to find.
And I am not sure if their argument holds water. CP/M is clearly influenced by DEC usage [1], and various DEC OS and tools had slashes for tool options as a standard. Those then got carried over to CP/M (e.g. PIP), so that was the standard way to define options everyone CP/M used would have known.

It's really really hard to imagine the usage for slashes as arguments was not a carry over. And for anyone old enough to actually remember the transition from CP/M to MS-DOS (like me), it felt very natural.

There's a funny/sad story about the first person in the UK to be jailed for not giving up his password under new at the time laws in the UK. He was a person crossing the channel with mental health problems. He was stopped and he had some este model rocktry rockets. He was found to have a couple of micrograms of an explosive on him that could have come out of the search dogs fur. He refused to give up his passwords and so he was jailed. He did give up one password to a truecrypt volume, but it had another encrypted truecrypt volume inside it. He was jailed for a year for that.

> In 2018, the heads of Australia’s law enforcement and intelligence agencies were given broad powers by the Telecommunications and Other Legislation Amendment (Assistance and Access) Act 2018,1 or TOLA Act, to gain access to encrypted communications.

> ...

> The most controversial section of the TOLA Act amended the Telecommunications Act 1997 to create “frameworks for voluntary and mandatory [communications] industry assistance to law enforcement and intelligence agencies.”

> ...

> Three kinds of notices or requests sit at the core the TOLA Act framework:

> * Technical Assistance Requests (TARs), which are “voluntary” requests for a “designated communication provider” to use a decryption or other data access capability they already have;

> * Technical Assistance Notices (TANs), which are compulsory notices for a designated communication provider to use a capability they already have; and

> * Technical Capability Notices (TCNs), which are compulsory notices for a designated communication provider to build a new capability, so that it can fulfil subsequent Technical Assistance Notices and Requests.

> The definition of “designated communication provider” runs for three pages, and includes everyone from the major telecommunications carriers down to an entity that “provides an electronic service that has one or more end-users in Australia,” anyone who “develops, supplies or updates software used, for use, or likely to be used, in connection with” such a service, and “manufactures or supplies components for use, or likely to be used, in the manufacture of customer equipment for use, or likely to be used, in Australia.”

As a Canadian who has lived in the United States and in the United Kingdom, I can say without a doubt that both Canada and the UK beat the US "system" by a mile. While their universal healthcare can have problems, the problems in the US system are far worse.
You are the second person to emphasize the difficulties of working with the App Store and Play Store.

To be honest, I hadn't heard of PWAs, I'll definitely have to study the information about it.

The US is in a cold war with China as long as China is open to the idea of the use of military force on its neighbors, including Taiwan. A cold war is the only alternative to surrendering the free Taiwanese people to communist rule, and a hot war.

This is fine for parsing command line arguments in your own programs, but unhelpful when attempting to provide a mechanism to reliably pass a user-supplied argument list to an arbitrary external program that is free to interpret the string returned by GetCommandLine arbitrarily (so the notion of "passing a list of arguments" isn't even generally applicable).

cmd.exe is an important and terrible example:

Indeed, both are mentioned in the "programming" section, which I have either misread or skimmed over.

Wth now we have a Copilot key button AND a mouse AI button? What else will they find? May be a foot pedal? Or a chair - leaning back starts summarizing the last prompt, turning left starts a new conversation... Turning right starts the Copilot which is then instructed to start the Logitech AI overlay?

That's why I never install hardware manufacturers software - it's a hardware Maker, ain't it? It's not a software maker. So I guess, their hardware is better then their software, it must be! XD
Also read the last page of every chapter, and you can avoid 90% of the fluff if it's non-fiction.

Authors start with a short draft that is only juice and then add spam to make it into a book. That initial juice is the summaries of chapters that you find on the last page or two. The initial part of the chapter is just fluff and examples to drill the point down because they think you need 10 examples for each concept in order to justify paying as much for a blog post as you would for a book.

> I'm also surprised someone who is more well-off would want to leave their country to come to North America. I would think their money would go much further in their own country. But maybe there is more to it than I realize.

It really depends on how well off you are and the reasons for that. Let's take my home country as an example.

We have IT people earning like 3-5x times more than the regular people (like you get salary 2000$ while the rent will be 200$ at worst, with average salary being below 500$. New apartments cost 100k in the capital but outside the capital even 40k is considered an expensive apartment). And we have police and military earning similar (and more money. Not to mention corruption). Both IT and police can afford buying expensive goods and stuff, can afford apartments, good food and so on.

Both can live like kings, but at the same time people are limited to what they can get and find in their country. It is like to be a king of the village - you are the king, sure, but in the city you have more opportunities, more advancements, more access to resources.

When I was leaving the country we did not even have Spotify, for example. And I was earning like 5x times of the average. But there was no point in that. And that's just a software service - there are issues with medication, education etc. So even if you earn more, it might not be worth it.

However in case of IT, it is not a problem for me to get a relatively decent salary in a foreign country while as a military person or a police officer it will become close to impossible to reach the same level without a lot of things attached to that. So for people like this, being a king of a village is worth more than being an average in some foreign country. But, each and every time, they are trying to send their children to a foreign country to live or to study.

And that's without people who have no opportunities or cannot learn foreign language and thus cannot leave.

In India you have extremely rich and extremely poor, coming from various developed and underdeveloped countries and all know English most of the time and often has IT education - with their much bigger population just sheer amount of people leaving will be a lot. A lot.
This is missing the understanding that there is a lever to mitigate what you describe above that I believe likely everyone, or close to everyone, is able to develop through practice.

Four factors that are party to this mechanism of not "being what you eat" are:
- developing attention and aim,
- self-awareness/emotional regulation development [which will clear past trauma and allow you to 1) be processing fully int he present moment or 2) extrapolate and prophesying-predicting into the future more accurately],
- developing a dynamic weighting process, and
- honing your judgment, compassion, and forgiveness practices - as any logic for judgements you apply to others, that logic is also applied to yourself - whether you realize it or not, and will weigh you down - depress you and can increase your baseline stress and anger levels.

The above will raise your vibratory frequency from the patterns of thoughts and beliefs of yourself or others, which if they are negative then they will knock you and keep you down [and/or require unnecessary and excessive energy to trying to prop yourself up with active motivation]; keeping you at a lower vibration - where like attracts like.

I do however do everything to avoid very low quality content - that we could call candy - like advertisements, however avoid may be the wrong word - I consciously act for high yield outcomes and quickly respond consciously to note when an unavoidable ad is present - and arguably am good at not getting distracted by them or go into a studying mode to analyze them to see what tactics they are deployed; ultimately they are a waste of time and can cause a misdirection of attention, but the consequences are far worse than that.

There are many very effective and efficient practices to help with all of the above - natural medicinal as well as things like yoga as a framework.
Is it? The article lists 2015 as the year where things improved a lot, 2017 is well past that. The numbers are low and even that's inflated due to recalls.

I've seen >>10 year old laptops where the battery is still good enough to go from charger to charger. Just go to ebay and check out 2009 MacBooks. That's ~15 years now.

I don't think this is unrealistic if you can live with the heavier degradation.

Yes. Interviewed someone that the team loved. We said definitely hire.

HR said they didn't accept the offer and went elsewhere. What they didn't know is that the person LinkedIn messaged me saying they enjoyed the team, and were disappointed we passed, respectfully asking what I would recommend to work on for their interviewing.

Opinions on whether to reach out after a rejection aside, it highlighted what I already suspected; the job was never going to be filled, and even as the team lead they were lying to me and the team.

When there was yet another round of layoffs months later, the spot remained, unsurprisingly, unfilled.

If data protection laws are considered heavy in countries such as the US and Australia then they must be essentially nonexistent in many others. Either that or the graduations as shown aren't representative of the facts.

It mystifies how anyone could say data protection laws in Australia and especially the US could be considered heavy when all evidence points to them being ineffective.
No true Scotsman, eh? There's no reason to think these groups have had any contact with the outside world, beyond the fact that at some point they obviously diverged from whatever common ancestor we all share. Both are extremely small groups living in similarly extremely isolated locations - Sentinelese in an isolated island, Nukak deep in the Amazonian interior, far from rivers. And the Nukak's population has been decimated by common disease since they made contact, further suggesting 0 exposure to even other local peoples.

this is essentially 400b params. With FP8, comparing to Grok'3 320B model, which requires 320GB VRam in int4, I think what the OP meant is actually 8 H100.

And all optimization is for latency, not throughput, because with 8 H100, you can easily hosted 4 replicas of 70B.
If I'm not mistaken, it also involves not knowing that you are doing so.

> to utilize the “O(M) guarantee”, one must know how many objects will be freed

No -- unless I'm misunderstanding you(?), this is incorrect. The following pseudocode (I'll just use Python syntax for simplicity) has no idea how many objects are being deleted:

while True:
print("[Progress] Deleting: " + node.name)
prev = node
node = next(node)
del prev # Assume this happens M times

Assume each node owns O(1) blocks of memory.

With GC, the user can see random arbitrarily-long stutters, depending on the shape of the rest of the object graph, and the phase of the moon.

With RC, you can rely on the user seeing your progress indicators consistently... without knowing or caring what M was.

> to utilize “you can access all the other objects in parallel”, one must know that two objects are not reachable from each other, which is not always the case e.g. objs=find(scene,criteria)

Again, this is false, and (subtly) misses the point.

The claim wasn't "you can access all objects in parallel". That's not true in any system, be it GC or RC.

The claim is "you can still access some objects in parallel" with RC. The crucial difference here is that, under a GC, all threads are at risk of getting throttled because of each other arbitrarily. They simply cannot do any work (at least, nothing that allocates/frees memory) without getting throttled or interrupted at the whim of the GC.

Step one with someone locked or frozen-stuck in such belief-logic is that improvement is possible - which is part of developing psychological flexibility.

You'd have to pay attention and find any step forward possible for them to begin to enter the discomfort that is holding them back - which may be the biggest challenge of their lives up until that point.

Ideally though, as we're all sheep to some degree - which is exactly what this HN post is stating in a more sophisticated way, and attempting to warn for this - ideally there's a culture of practices that develop oneself, so you're just going along with the "herd" - that path hopefully not corrupted and led by bad actors attempting to send us off a cliff or into their totalitarian pen.
Not really understanding the iPhone reference or how it relates here.

Sounds like the problem you have with the error checking relates more to development practice of colleagues than the language.

We used defer frequently. Never considered it ugly.

'goto' (hypothesising here as not used it) and use of exception handling that is expected to be handled at edge of boundary points in codebase can be elegant but does need careful thought and design is my experience. Can hide all sorts of issues, lead to a lot of spurious error handling for those that don't understand the intent. That's the biggest issue I have with implicit (magical) error handling - too many people do it poorly.
