Thanks for the anecdote, but the claims there are laughably and provably wrong. Just open the crime section of any swedish newspaper and you'll notice not every criminal is non-white (which the commenter implied). And that's even without accounting that in Sweden just like in many countries, white-collar crimes and government corruption are barely investigated/prosecuted (the topic of this HN thread).

Swedish neo-nazis are very much violent white criminals. And as much as i have sympathy for their cause and actions, swedish native antifas are (mostly) violent white criminals. Likewise, the cops beating up protesters are violent white criminals. Claiming all the criminality is due to arabic-speaking immigrants is so far-off from reality that it has to be from a very racist person that cannot substantiate their point with facts. On that point, it turns out french racists have exactly the same propaganda, and it's just as laughably and provably wrong here as it is there.
Which agrees with the article, that predicts solar will become the majority source of power.
> The rules come after the agency handed Southwest Airlines a record $140 million fine for its operational meltdown during the 2022 holiday travel season.

I was one of the travelers impacted by that meltdown. I waited hours and hours in the airport because of “delays”. One by one, every flight was cancelled. Southwest made everyone wait in a single file line to rebook their flight a week or two out (of course after Christmas). A couple days later they cancelled that flight too. So they issued vouchers. No way I would use a voucher for an airline that can’t get it together. I’m glad there will be cash refunds now so folks don’t get trapped with a bad airline.
Depends on what you mean by “working.” DDG-1000 is still kicking around trying to figure out what to do with itself. DDG(X) is in a requirements development phase. FFG-62 is actually getting built. There are various autonomous surface and sub efforts that may turn into something.

Regardless if you feel that the web was made only for documents it has become the only truly cross platform runtime you can always expect users to have installed. That's incredibly valuable. Why would we throw that away?

> Stop dicking around with JS and learn a language that will allow you to develop portable native applications.

A lot of those are not much more "native" than web applications. To be able to install on some platforms like iOS you need to pay and get approval from the platforms owner. On some platforms there are clear security issues with installing random applications.

Gruelingly hard and unhealthy lives. Until relatively recently there was a very high likelihood that you were either a heavy smoker or lived most of your life inhaling a lot of secondhand smoke. There was also a boom in alcohol consumption in the post WW2 western world that lasted into the 1990s.
Well they may have physically made the shell and thus not a render.

As for if it does what it says on the tin I have no idea, maybe the commenter that suggests they have insider knowledge can clarify.
One has a couple options here, given that the EU didn’t seem to listen re: certain classes of developers, small software projects, and the like:

1. Ignore the EU, meaning a couple different things depending on what your commercial activity is but likely including not advertising there or applying for a CE mark; if it’s open enough license-wise and someone wants to deal with the EU conditions they can go start their own EU company supporting/updating it.

2. Maybe, along with (1), refusing to sell to anyone in a country covered by the CRA.

3. Just altering your license to prohibit anyone located where you’d be subject to the CRA from using your software.

It’s not the intent of the CRA to cause this but-and they were warned and maybe made some adjustments but not enough-it’s what they’re going to cause, and leads at the end to the same result as this whole discussion (I quit) for different reasons.
Who Could Buy TikTok?
If you consider the top charting music and the typical fart noises uploaded to soundcloud which have 3 listens, yes it is worse.

If you're only considering your 25 favorite new songs out of tens of millions then sure, it's better. But also there is recency/novelty bias which counteracts and may overcome any past/nostalgia bias

In conclusion, if all you're doing is listening to music alone in your apartment then it's never been better. Until you step out into the real world and realize that, best-case scenario, everyone hates your music and everything that it represents. More likely they will be completely bored and indifferent.
Hi, I had a look today because it was bugging me and no one had investigated it, so I created an issue[1] with an explanation.

But it basically boils down to uniform_real_distribution having a bunch of uninlined calls to 'logl' when compiled with Clang.

Otherwise, Clang beats GCC at least on the configuration I tested.

One person's stirring up woke drama is another person's holding people accountable for bad behavior.

Look. It's 2024. Leadership in the hacker community doesn't look like RMS or ESR anymore. The culture is queer, trans, furry, neurodiverse. The smarter and more talented the hacker, the more likely they are to be one or more of the above, especially in the millennial and younger demographics. Which means the most talented among us are also the most vulnerable. This is why we have less tolerance for abuse or harassment than we used to, and why we implement codes of conduct to deal with such abuse or harassment. That, and it's the right thing to do.

I suggest you modify your attitude. Or you will find yourself unable to participate in programming communities. Or the internet at large, if some plural system with root on a hop between you and the backbone decides the world would be better off with your packets null-routed.

Ask HN: Any fun ways to learn Emacs?
I’ve been using vim for years, but after a traumatic brain injury my muscle memory for typing got a bit scrambled at the same time my need for something that was always installed everywhere dwindled. I’d kind of like to finally see what the deal is with emacs, but as holding down multiple keys simultaneously is now more than a bit hard (and so is memorizing all the chords) I’m looking for a game or typing tutor or similar sort of experience that can help me pick up emacs gradually and help me build a new muscle memory without having to actually work on anything important.

Over the years I’ve seen a bunch of games aimed at getting used to vim-style navigation, but not come across anything emacs-centric.

Alternatively I suppose I could just got evil, but as I’ve not used emacs practically I’m a bit confused how you don’t end up with a hybrid of home row touch typing plus having to wander about for whatever chords remain, which seems more like the worst of both worlds rather than the best.
What a trip you are on. You can't be in war with the country that produces all the stuff you have in your house.
are they going to have a firewall to block tiktok? I would think the government will just ask Apple and Google to take tiktok from their store, then tiktok can be a web app, and there is no one can stop it.
Very insightful (you and your siblings), thank you all. I think I have a fundamental misunderstanding of what a state is, maybe because I mostly practice responding to external state changes? I don't know, I'll think on that. Thank you again.
> Do you have the belief that the way immigration is structured can't ever "be a problem"?

No i don't have this belief. I believe immigration can be a problem in two circumstances:

- when it's a settler colonial project such as in founding USA / Canada, because it's accompanied by an actual genocide

- or when it pushes restricted resources even thinner, as we see in 3rd world countries who house most of the world's refugees / immigrants (most of them do not even try to reach Europe)

> Would you for example consider if rent/housing costs went up by 400% in a short period

It depends on the context, but as we are talking about wealthy western countries where resources are abundant (and actually wasted) i'd put that on the economic policies and not on immigration. Housing prices are correlated with speculation and the legal status of squatting, not with immigration ; that is because the prices are disconnected from the laws of supply and demand as the supply far exceeds the demands, but very few of it is actually put on the market.

You're actually giving a very good example of how rich landlords and racist politicians (sometimes they are the same persons) are blaming immigration for their becoming richer on the backs of poor people entirely due to their own actions.
That seems misleading. The DOD was the reason inasmuch as the budget to pay contractors was slashed, and the alternative was letting the smaller companies go out of business and losing the knowledge and manufacturing capabilities altogether.
Wayland has gotten it right in the latest protocols but up to very recently it still did only integer scaling and scaled down for fractional. Scaling the buffer in fake coordinates is also needlessly complex. Just start with the 150x90 buffer to begin with and the scaling is just a UI hint. All of that would work fine with X11 exactly because there's no need for fake coordinates. All scaling is the client's job based on a DPI or scale hint.

The distinction that seems to be important is the warp-thread architecture: multiple compute units sharing a single program counter, but instead of the SIMD abstraction they are presented as conceptually separate threads.

Monkeys are determined to argue, so they will argue about free-will, and wonder if they could have chosen not to argue, and then argue about that also.
Would anyone be able to hack Voyager? Just wondering - if the software is that old, as long as you can get a signal to it anyone should be able to hack it / wipe it right?

Is the biggest barrier the enormous satellite dish you'd need to contact it or do the commands have a auth header with some key you'd need to brute force?
>You should be able to describe the sound differences if the music is that distinct.

They are and I can, however the existence of Black Swing is in no way predicated on a difference in sound only.

Consider this: white culture in America continually stole from a legally repressed black culture, including white swing which stole the black art and commercialized it. Even if a 1950 white swing song sounds similar to a 1940 black swing song, there is still a "black swing" and a "white swing".

Frankly, I think trying to reduce history of music down to "the sounds themselves" is a way to whitewash the history and destroy the true knowledge of what happened and why. The context is very important.

Ask HN: Wouldn't it be cool to have a Supabase for SQLite?
Wouldn't it be cool to have a Supabase for SQLite?

The core idea here is: let SQLite run next to your application on the server; but have all features a client-server database give you.

What's the spec for this?

- SQLite runs next to server as production database

- That way, reads and writes are very fast

- In dev, some sort of worker auto-copies the prod DB to the local repo. Production bugs can be reproduced easily and code fixed quickly

- Have an interface that lets you access, view, and modify data in the production DB, kind of like Firebase. Might need a server of its own... or couldn't that just be the app server itself?

- SQLite auto-backs up to a bucket (like Litestream)

I kinda really want this, but haven't found anything quite like it. I've seen Turso, but it seems they focus more on global replication instead of the OSS developer experience I'm looking for.

What do you think? What am I missing?
I don't think it is trite: you need to remind yourself that the information you ingest will have an effect on you. If you're deeply informed about an ongoing violent conflict it will have a negative effect on your mental health as you'll watch a lot of violence.

I've been practising information hygiene for a while - if I can't change anything about problem X and it does not affect me or my family, should I be deeply informed about it? - and it has done wonders for my mental health.
watching from the sideline, I think this move has a lot to do with Palestine. Do you know how much Palestine information on TikTok, comparing to YouTube and Facebook, apparently those contents were suppressed on other platforms, and TikTok is the odd one here. I personally believe, regardless what politicians are saying, this is actually a big reason.
Has anyone tried removing an entire concept from a dataset and seeing if the LLM can reason its way into the concept?

I think that would be a really cool experiment.

There are probably some really good candidate concepts that just take a small leap of reasoning to reach.

But off the top of my head maybe multiplication? Or the concept of zero. Maybe the wheel?

Edit: if anyone is interesting in doing this kind of stuff, hit me up. (Email in profile). I want to start doing these kinds of things as a side project.

I think that Emerson quote is just one big cope.

The books you read make you as much as you want them to make you. You get out of them what you put into them. If you're consuming books but not able to recall much from them, then you're not putting enough into them.

I especially don't like the Emerson quote because of how consumerist it is in its sentiment. It's a self-soothing license to passively consume and relieve oneself from any obligations to work to derive deeper substance from what they consume.

I never got the hype of Substack.

In addition to what sibling commenter cqqxo4zV46cp says, you are assuming that either all these companies are publicly traded or a majority of their shareholders see themselves as investors rather than owners.

I know nothing particular about the ownership structure of organic food brands, but you cannot simply assume that these things are true. It is perfectly possible for such a brand to be wholly owned by its founders, who maintain an ethos of putting good food and the environment above maximum profit.
This also applies to natural gas, which is a much bigger deal. The title here didn't say that, but the article's title did.

>"Practically every tech giant offers its own version of an AI coding assistant. Microsoft has GitHub Copilot, which is by far the firmest entrenched with over 1.3 million paying individual and 50,000 enterprise customers as of February. Amazon has AWS CodeWhisperer. And Google has Gemini Code Assist, recently rebranded from Duet AI for Developers.

Elsewhere, there’s a torrent of coding assistant startups: Magic, Tabnine, Codegen, Refact, TabbyML, Sweep, Laredo and Cognition (which reportedly just raised $175 million), to name a few. Harness and JetBrains, which developed the Kotlin programming language, recently released their own. So did Sentry (albeit with more of a cybersecurity bent).

Can they all — plus Augment now — do business harmoniously together?"

Well, we don't know!

We do know however that there are a lot of AI coding assistants, and there will probably be many more in the years to come...

The article says "Augment is using fine-tuned “industry-leading” open models of some sort" - correct me if i'm wrong (happens often! :) ) - but does this mean that they're using some open model from huggingface, wrapping some UI around it, and voila they're worth a billion dollars? Hmm.

I've known some NASA folks and they would not describe it as "low to no pressure". It's highly bureaucratic, constantly under budget pressure, and contractors get much of the cool work.

Don't know about voyager, but I expect that many of those folks have been there decades-- like a closed society. I am sure it's awesome for them, more power to them, but it's certainly not the norm.
I like substack and write my newsletter on it. That being said, I agree with the author that random platform changes can be very annoying. The only true antitode of sanity is self-hosted, and Ghost self-hosted is an example of this.

That being said, I think the big problem with the internet is the very existence of these sorts of large-tech platforms. I wish such platforms didn't exist at all, and people just went to small websites. Following Ivan Illich, I wish there were a "speed/size limit" on the internet so that companies beyond a certain size like Google, Medium, Substack, etc. were precluded from existing.
The second point is really important I think - the internet has skewed our perceptions of what is real so much that it warps our own sense of worth.
Also the demise of religious institutions have forced people to judge themselves by their contributions to the economy - which is a pretty bad game to play given how many winner-take-all markets there are.
