SEC shuts down Trump Media auditor over 'massive fraud'
I have a hobby that involves metalworking and building and it was strongest and I was at my most hobby-productive during a time I worked for a soul-destroying FAANG full of unreasonable expectations, stress, awful management, and so on. I think for the sake of your mental health, you really need to get good at "forgetting the workplace" and switching to fun mode. It's a skill like anything that you can practice. I know people who can't separate, and they take their misery from work and spread it into their home life. It's awful, especially for their family.
In college, a friend and I got jobs at the university's call center making cold calls to alumni for donations. Awful job. He quit on his first day on the floor before finishing the shift. I stuck it out long enough to be fired for poor performance. I'm still not sure which of us did it right.
> where you decide to add spaces and newlines can actually add subtle but important communication as to the significance of a particular part of one's code.

Isn't this part of the problem? If the purpose of code is to be understandable, the important communications shouldn't also be subtle. Your intention that the extra empty line before a block of code signals "This is the important part" is likely to be entirely lost on a reader of the code (especially in a codebase where the formatting isn't consistent so those spare lines are littered everywhere). Much better to leave a comment saying "there's a subtle but important thing going on here".

It will! I've neglected that project a bit, but in some of the alpha builds I was able to get WASM to work, I just have documented or blogged about it yet. SQLite extensions in WASM written with sqlite-loadable-rs are a bit large, mostly because of Rust. But it's possible!
You think you’ll be able to recruit more people into medicine by reducing compensation, keeping education costs the same, and also keeping medicolegal liability on the physician?

Residency as “profit” is a stretch. You tread water for 5 years. If you would like those apprenticeship years to go unpaid then I’m not sure how it increases the number of people who want to go into medicine.
> Some of the existing constellations there are safety-of-life relevant (e.g. Iridium for polar flights or shipping routes), and Iridium doesn't have a stockpile of spares sitting on launchpads for an "Elon poked the bear one too many times" scenario.

Iridium is only useful in safety-of-life because it's too expensive for anything else. If SpaceX were that bad at creating a market for satellites no one would be trying to shoot their satellites down.

I found that the maximum number of hours I could do something productive was 6 hours while being in college. After this I was able to keep going but with diminishing returns. Nowadays it’s hard for me to find even a 6 hour block (while employed).

The best advice I heard is to treat interviewing like a full time job with lunch break and a defined end.

Apologies if this is a dumb question—could a service like NextDNS help prevent this?
Having custom f-droid repositories isn't that unusual or necessarily malicious. For example the microG project has its own f-droid repo. iirc there's some overhead with getting something into f-droid since they have their own build process, versus just uploading an APK, which might be why they chose that.

I think legally they would have to change their ownership directive document in Switzerland to allow the board of directors to allow the two founders to sell more than 50% of their shares. So you might get a heads up!
Well public perception of tesla has plummeted. Among democrats, who are probably the larger target market for EV’s, it’s dropped 90% from 30% favorable to 3% favorable over a few years:

As someone who is not very interested in cars, Musk, or anything California; there was a time where a Tesla seemed like a really cool choice. Now it seems like an embarrassing choice.

The brand harm is very, very real.

I don't understand why more adults don't have awesome hobbies... most of my childhood friends don't seem to do anything fun now as adults.

I really love physical things I can do with my body as a counterbalance to working on the computer- weight lifting, woodworking, and sailing add a lot of value to my life, and have gotten me outdoors and in shape. I'm currently building a wood sailboat in my garage together with my son, using ancient woodworking tools I inherited from my grandfather.
Measure EEG with Arduino with Shield ArdEEG
Show HN: Salad, a distributed cloud for AI (like Airbnb for GPUs)
Hey HN! Bob here, Founder and CEO of Salad ([www.salad.com](http://www.salad.comwww.salad.com)), a distributed cloud for AI inference at scale.

*Why Salad?* Because there’s 400 Million consumer GPUs in the world (~100 Million AI-enabled RTX GPUS) and most of them lie unused for 18-22 hrs a day.

These consumer GPUs offer similar or better cost-performance than high-end AI GPUs for many AI/ML use cases (Speech-to-text, batch jobs, text-to-image, computer vision to name a few).

With Salad, we have activated this latent compute in everyday PCs to power AI/ML workloads.

*How big is our network?* More than 1,900,000 individual PC owners on the network. Around 10K+ GPUs (RTX/GTX series) are running AI workloads from companies at any given time.

*What’s in it for AI companies & data scientists?*

Users get GPUs at the lowest market price with high scalability

*What’s in it for people sharing GPU time?*

GPU owners get rewards ranging $20 - $180 depending on the GPU type (Higher vRAM GPUs earn more). These rewards can be exchanged in our marketplace for gift cards, games and more.

*How are our prices?*

GPU prices start from $0.02/hour and across different consumer GPUs, we have the lowest price and largest scale in the market.

For ex, an RTX 3080Ti for AI transcription costs $0.0012/hour with a self-managed OS model on Salad. The next best cost in the market is an API ($0.28/hr).

*Who can run on SaladCloud today?*

Here are the best fits for our infra today:

(1) Needs >3 GPUs running 24*7

(2) AI inference workloads or batch processing

(3) No compliance-related workloads (HIPAA, etc) or highly sensitive/proprietary data

As a distributed cloud, we are workload-agnostic. That being said, with our current features & team, we are best poised to support AI/ML workloads. As we grow, we will add more support for other workloads.

We’re happy to offer $1000 in free credits if you have a demand for more than 10 GPUs per month running consistently.

Yea that’s right. You can scramble separately into 1 year internships. Those are really easy to get - but the unfilled spots are not in happy places. They’re usually more rural and surgical.

But like you said if you have a year under your belt you can work in an urgent care or the like.
This Month in Rust GameDev: April Edition and Call for Submissions for May
The April edition of "This Month in Rust GameDev" has just landed[1]!.

You may have noticed that this marks the first release since quite a while. To revive the newsletter, we made some organizational changes[2].
We want to continue improving the project, so we've put together a survey[3] for you to tell us how the newsletter should evolve. We'd be happy if you filled it out and / or shared it with your fellow game devs This is also your call for submissions for May's edition! [4]

Happy coding

For someone who doesn't like running and isn't a runner... I'd advise them to try a different exercise ;-)

Seriously, I have a friend who assumes that exercise == going to the gym... and she hates the gym. But she keeps trying to force that round peg into a square hole!

I've tried asking her, "well, do you like tennis? Dancing? Rock climbing?" But apparently those don't count.
Looking forward to the birepo.
Personally, I found the perfect keyboard in Ergodox [0][1]. Ortholinear, split, programmable (and open-source) keyboard with hot-swappable switches.

I've had my Ergodox EZ [2] for ~7 years now. The biggest problem that happened was that some of the switches started malfunctioning - fixing which was a matter of literally 5 minutes.

I don't think I would want to go back to non-split, non-ortholinear keyboards nowadays. 00Key looks cool though, that's for sure! :)

The HIPPA rules on health data are fairly strict, otherwise your doctor, hospital and so on could already be doing wrong. Personally I have a dumb TV, car, doorbell and fridge so not much spying there. The phone I'm less sure of.

To a degree. The controller has to tell the car what level of power it can draw from the wall.

And it can be as low as 720 watts but I've heard of attempts to get it lower for certain situations where only 400 to 500 watts can be allocated.

"Customers want smaller aircraft point-to-point travel, not larger spoke–hub travel, and airlines want cheap fuel costs."

Who are the customers? Customers want cheap flights. Many people in the world can't even afford a plane ticket. And the Airbus A380 Stretch could have carried 1000 passengers. Lets see, I think it is too early for a verdict.

How many movie/tv-show scenes are uploaded on YouTube per month?
If anyone has conducted research on this topic, please feel free to share it.

I know that the movie clipping channels are the one who does the most, now mostly they upload shorts with annoying bg music. I'd also like to know how many of those channels does this.

Thanks.
Which flashlight app? As far as I know there is no official flashlight app (though recently there is a built in flashlight feature). How is Google responsible for a third party app that refuses to work without an internet access?
This is an important API in that I refuse to use a browser that implements it.

Aptiv is a ~$21B market cap company and Hyundai didn't buy any portion of Aptiv (as far as I know).

Hyundai and Aptiv were joint venture owners of Motional (50/50). Motional is privately held and worth around $4B or $5B. Hyundai bought out some of Aptiv's stake and also invested some more in Motional. Hyundai spent ~$1B.

The article references reporting by Nauka w Polske, which I believe is https://naukawpolsce.pl/aktualnosci/news%2C101748%2Codnalezi... which in turn references an article published by the library https://pressto.amu.edu.pl/index.php/b/article/view/38294/35... which has an English abstract:

The private book collection that belonged to Jakob and Wilhelm Grimm testifies to the sixty-year-long period of the fertile research (and artistic) output of the famous German researchers and founders of the German philology, and in itself is an important subject to study. This book collection, comprising rare prints and unique editions, is more than just a series of items of significant material of bibliophile value. It is particularly valuable primarily as a source of knowledge on the research methods used by the two researchers. In the footnotes and indexes to their publications of fairy tales or folk legends, both Jakob and Wilhelm were very meticulous in providing their written source material, i.e. the sources that they held in their book collection, the items of which had purposefully been acquired by the duo to preserve for subsequent editions of old relics European and German literature. Equally important for the research on the literary output and research activity of the Grimm Brothers is the analysis of hand-written underlining, notes and annotations that the texts were typographically enhanced by during the reading. The volumes from the portion of the working collection of the Brothers Grimm found in the Poznań University Library were long though to had been lost during the WWII, and now can be of significant value in their contribution to the development of modern research on the Brothers’ literary and scientific output. The very fact that they have been found allows us to believe that the book collections at the Library can hold other volumes that belonged to the private book collection of Jakob and Wilhelm Grimm still to be discovered.

So it's not about books written by the Brothers Grimm, but books which they used in their research.

This type of talk is harmful. The risks of not exercising absolutely dwarf the risks of exercising, and telling people that they are going to injure themselves by “doing it wrong” makes them less likely to exercise.

It also makes them more likely to feel pain, since pain has biological, psychological, and social inputs.

> CSFB was always a big MS shop

Hey, it's not massively relevant to your story, but this cracked a smile for me.

CSFB was a big Sun shop, up to and past the time they mounted a "SunSet" initiative around 1998. Scott McNealy came and gave talks to the engineers.

In CSFP, the derivatives arm, where the quants worked, there was more of a push to get onto Excel, build a relationship with Microsoft, which included getting onto the "Cool" program which turned into .NET.
One for every action that needs consent. What kind of question is that?
> if it really did

The fact you even had to say that part points to the management problem at hand. Not only are you trying to keep idle time low, you're trying to estimate essentially unknown timelines, and you have to think about whether people are even telling the truth or padding hours where they feel they can.

I just think the range is too wide. Sure anything can be a 1 day task (potentially just an easy solution to add in, or some variables/settings to change, etc). And any 1 day task could be turned into an 8 day task (anything from refactoring unnecessarily, all the way to just walking the dog too frequently). I'm left wondering, how long should this task have taken?

> Wikipedia's list

It's basing "Marxist-Leninist" on national constitutions, which themselves are de facto useless when the Politburos in China, Vietnam, and Laos make drastic policy changes every decade (eg. 10 years ago it was expected for Chinese Premiers to step down after a 10 year term). Also, that list doesn't seem to actually link sources to assertions.

The CCP's charter calls itself "Marxist-Leninist" but every single "thought"/ideology pushed by the CCP's leadership when a new Premier arises is de facto diametric to Marxism-Leninism, and it has always been this case since Mao.

I recommend reading "The Chinese Reassessment of Socialism, 1976–1992" by Yan Sun , "A Nation-state by Construction: Dynamics of Modern Chinese Nationalism" by Suisheng Zhao, and "China: Development and Governance" by Yongian Zheng and Gunwu Wang if you want to actually understand the ideological underpinnings of Chinese governance.

I have Chinese language sources as well I'd recommend but that's a whole other issue.

Just like they taught all of us from elementary school to college - Wikipedia IS NOT a reliable source.

Wikipedia should always be used to spark conversations, but it is up to you to actually use Primary and Secondary sources to validate whether content on Wikipedia is valid or not.

Wikipedia as an editorial organization has a lot of issues, internal rivalries, and astroturfing (especially w/ regards to highly controversial topics such as Asian politics).

As such, it's best to use Primary and credible Secondary sources.
That is why strength and conditioning is so important. A lot of knee pain is not from the impact on the joint but because of the repetitive twisting and rolling because glutes and other muscles are not able to hold knees and other joints stable, especially when tired.
Lowercase really shines when you want to take notes free-form and then be able to share those notes out into the world. You can easily make a note public & even cooler than that you can turn a lowercase note into a presentation with just a few clicks.

Here's an old example I pulled up -> https://www.lowercase.app/@matt/p/1f6c83d5-2869-4024-a687-fc...

In my editor I was able to just group parts of my note into logical slide sections and then publish.

Edit: you can move through the slide show with your left and right arrows.

I have seen a lot of my coworkers go into woodworking since 2020, and I can certainly see the appeal. Software is often so abstract and never truly tangible(in the sense that I can sit in it or hold it in my hands, and I mean the actual software, not the hardware its built on top of). It is extremely satisfying to build something out of a piece of wood and hold it/use it. To get started you really only need a hand plane, some chisels, clamps, and something to measure with...and add to your arsenal from there. On the flip side...my manager has been working on the same chest of drawers for what seems about 3 years now...so its a journey!
Stop making up problems that don't exist.
Went back, and forth a lot, but the short version:

1. Having directly access to SQLite's C APIs is really useful, especially for BLOB I/O and some rarely-used APIs that sqlite-vec uses and aren't available in some SQLite/Rust bindings

2. Writing in Rust for this project would have meant adding a few dependencies which would make some builds a bit more complicated

3. Pure C means easier to compile for some targets I wanted to support, like WASM/mobile devices/raspberry pis

4. A single sqlite-vec.c/h file means you can drag+drop a single file into your C projects and "it just works"

5. I wanted full control over what stays in memory and what doesn't, and it's a bit easier to do so in C (at least in my brain)

6. Most vector search operations aren't too complicated, so I feel comfortable manually handling memory access. You work with fixed length vectors, pretty easy to do manual checks for. If it required a lot of string parsing/validation or other dicey work, then Rust would have been a godsend, but vector search specifically fits C pretty well.

7. Ton of C/C++ vector search examples I could reference from Faiss/hnswlib/annoy
It's just a differentiator. It's actually tied to the Phone by Google app, but some features only work on Pixels (and maybe other phones that have it pre-installed as the default dialer, but I don't know which those are). https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.and...

It does work well though. I get a lot of spam calls and texts a month (the result of my political donations, which I didn't realize were public info and easily harvested by spammers, sigh... fucking NGP Van). The Pixel filters out the overwhelming majority of them, thankfully. The call screening works exceptionally well for spam calls, since most just hang up.

The Pixel is a perfectly generic phone, IMO, but the spam blocking is amazing. I switched to an iPhone for a few months, but the spam (even with several third party apps) made it unusable and I eventually got another Pixel instead. About the only thing it consistently does better.

Many, many people have such mechanical abnormalities and never experience pain. Many people without such abnormalities do experience pain. There’s surprisingly little association between them.
