The German brands are quietly doing a lot of impressive hard engineering in the EV space. Look at the charging speed on Porsche, the actual real world achievable highway range on Porsche / BMW / MB, etc.

Will be a wonderful thing as this tech makes its way into cheaper models and brands.

At a certain point if the car can get ~350mi at 70mph highway speed, and you can charge 10-80% in 18 minutes like the 2025 Taycan, then you are in pretty good shape for 99% of road trips. If you leave home fully charged (EV advantage), then you can travel ~600 miles (NYC to South Carolina with) at 70mph with only a single 18 minute charge in 8.5 hours of driving. I don't know about you, but my bladder is more of a limiting factor at that point.

As a kid we used to road trip from Northeast to Florida and made.. far more stops than an EV of this spec would require us...

At this point again the issue remains just ubiquity of chargers, that you can make that single 18 minute stop somewhere easily, and land at your destination below 10% charge, confident of access to charging.
I don’t know, I don’t game under Linux. But from my own wine experience, maybe to play some games that were ported to Linux and available first-party but have some form of crippled experience or bugs and playing the native Windows port is the way around it.

(Eg Netflix plays on Firefox/Chrome under Linux, but if you run Chrome under Wine on Linux instead, you get 1080p video instead of crippled 720p crap.)

A quick google seems to suggest around 350 BILLION emails are sent PER DAY. The statistics I could find show discord has between 0.8 and 4B messages/day, and those will be far shorter in content than an email. It’s two orders of magnitude behind.

Yes a good amount are spam, marketing, scams, etc. But that just comes with the fact that the platform is free and open.

Very strange to me to make such a barrier with corp communication. That’s communication too, and most of these corps now have things like Slack aka Discord anyway.
>I know people are sitting in jail for drawings

People are taking this for granted but I have yet to see an actual case. Every time this topic appeared on HN it also turned out that the offender had real CSAM on his devices as well.
There are legal uses of "the internet backbone" that greatly outweigh the illegal ones.

Non-KYC money transfer systems do not have such a raison d'etre.
Happy Developers. It Is Possible
We’re on the same page it sounds like.
'Please translate this AVX-256 algorithm to Arm NEON' is absolutely a prompt I'd give ChatGPT, and similar prompts have revealed new and useful intrinsics. Of course, results to be checked.

Assurance is a complex topic, and any safety critical device should have a carefully thought through architecture and rigorous testing program which minimises the risk of incidents. It therefore seems scarcely relevant here, beyond the fact that a well defined delivery system should be able to handle multiple human errors during implementation without leading to crucial failure modes occuring.
is it viable to build a product on top of scraping?

seems like unpredictably any day you could find yourself out of sync or with no data because of infrequent crawls or dom changes or bot challenges and then you have to play cat and mouse
robots.txt isn't an ideal way of preventing pages being indexed.

X-robots http headers are more reliable:

Regarding AI, it's a bit more tricky since it isn't going to abide by your rules. Cloudflare have tools:

How effective these are though, IDK?
I didn't. But reading the whole thread again, I think the parent was saying even though Germany wasn't captured by nukes, it still was pretty gruelling to the civilian population. In that case my comment is not really adding to it. But I wanted to point that nukes were pretty bad too and even worse in many ways. There was a minisicule military objective in the use of those, but it was more of a threat to the whole world.
This has been going on for over a year now. Any progress in C++ land towards more memory safety?
Sorry. Now I see I took the HN title too literally!
>> Are you suggesting Texas is systemically a great place to live for non white folks? Refuting the statement above?

As a non white person that has lived in both Seattle and Texas: I am not suggesting, it I am affirming it. It’s weird to talk with people like you who are so wrapped up in identity politics yet you can’t see the appeal of being in an area where you aren’t the only one of your kind.
Yet still, Pfizer ended up dominating both markets - by delaying the approval of those that could compete and the lobbying making it so that it was the one that was bulk purchased in quantity.

When I meant approval, I meant the approval of any competitor who could provide at scale. None such vaccine was allowed until the quarantine ended. Even after that Pfizer was still being pushed against all competitors including cheaper American ones. So long story short - their lobby won.
I'm not sure that's true though. It's always been more trivial to doctor a screenshot, even just editing a webpage in dev tools prior to taking a screenshot.

And yet people reshare and react to screenshots of tweets and similar all the time. The authenticity is only really questioned if it strongly goes against whatever narrative one already believes. And then that ability to fake them also gets used to dismiss legitimate honest information because it could have been faked.
So what was first, Russia invading neighbors, or neighbors wanting to join NATO?

I'll give you the answer: Chechnya.

Thinking that Russia would never invade an independent Georgia or Ukraine is very naive, to say the least.

If you want a "neutral" country, take a look at Belarus. A neutral country in Russia's eyes only has connections with Russia, not with the West. They make it very clear which countries they want "under the influence sphere of Russia".

Ukrainians want a sovereign democratic country, and they are willing to pay a very high price for that.
Dyson Sphere seem like what we would do based on our understanding of physics would do, and of course how else would you theorize such device? My theory is that an advanced civilization would not need to brute force such methods and use novel physics to gather energy, fusion is a start but there has to be even more advanced methods.
> There’s a very real/significant risk that AGI either literally destroys the human race

If this were true, intelligent people would have taken over society by now. Those in power will never relinquish it to a computer just as they refuse to relinquish it to more competent people. For the vast majority of people, AI not only doesn't pose a risk but will only help reveal the incompetence of the ruling class.
I don't worry about what other people need. I build for what I need and if it's not too much effort I also make it available to everyone just in case it's useful to them. A couple examples:

I got tired of configuring emacs by hand for use with Erlang. I had lookup the specific incantation that needed to go into the configuration file every single time. Yes, it only takes a couple minutes and it's not something I do often, but now it's just a simple script away.

https://github.com/dlachausse/erlmacs

Another example: like a lot of people I anxiously wait for certain days to come or need a reminder of just how close we are getting to certain holidays and family birthdays. So I built a quick and dirty app in SwiftUI to countdown the days until a specified date. (It's free with no ads or IAPs, since I built it for my own needs and don't care to monetize it.)

Quick question, what do you use such an observability platform for? Can't be the price as you get it straight from Openai's dev dashboard. So what else do you use Languse for?
Not sure I entirely agree?

#1 > Or disable a hospital.

The entire Ascension Healthcare system of hospitals (142 hospitals, 2600 total facilities) in on divert since 8 May because they had to switch back to paper records. Change Healthcare has lost $872M since it was attacked in February.

Maybe it's more like the pandemic: seems like nothing, unless it affects you.

#2 > Does your stuff need computers working 5,000 kilometers away? [implying that's bad]

What if you live on the Gulf Coast, exposed to hurricanes? You want compute resources warm and ready far away from that region. After Katrina, the Tulane medical school was able to re-form quickly because the noteservice was running a bulletin board forum on a VM in Romania. Everything else was underwater.

#3 > This is the sound-powered phone

Have you used a sound-powered phone? I managed damage control in a ship. Sound powered phones barely works. And the coordination system to actually fight that fire requires radios and making overhead announcements that definitely depend on electrical power.

#4 > They tried to sort of renew this emergency telephone network

When the entire San Diego region lost power during rush hour for 4 hours in 2011, the cell phone system still worked. I was able to email documents to Tokyo from a car despite no traffic lights.

#5 > Because if the cable to the US is down

Sure, but there are a lot of disasters where the cables are fine. Graceful degradation is all about having widely distributed options. Lots of people have What. Signal is even better for people with more serious responsibilities, IMHO. And, friends, if you think IP networks are vulnerable, get yourself a starlink terminal and a HAM radio license.

There's APIs like https://www.internationalshowtimes.com that give you all that data for many countries. Have used it in the past and it works well, with direct booking deeplinks to the cinemas (select seat, next, pay, done).

Agreed. No "of course" about it.
Alternatively, you could fix your timestep, decoupling your physics from your display refresh entirely.

It’s the opinion of OpenAI that ai text detection is not possible. Do you really want to argue that you know more than they do?
I fear your characterization diminishes the real risk: he's incredibly well resourced, well-connected and intelligent while being utterly divorced from the reality of the majority he threatens. People like him and Peter Thiel are not simple crooks or idiots - they truly believe in their convictions. This is far scarier.
There is hardly any real C code in Gio, it's just bindings for the platforms' APIs (X11, Wayland, GL).

Somehow, they managed to avoid requiring CGO on Windows so it's 100% Go there.
One would think a pixel with a different rom would be far morelikely to be secure and private than the chinesium that is the norm for roms outside of the pixel, no?
But what happens if you apply this argument to other situations?

For example, suppose you discover a politician is taking bribes. In the UK there is a formal process by which the police can investigate and then bring a case if the evidence is substantive. By your argument here, it would be okay if the government prevented you from publishing the bribery claims in a newspaper. After all, if someone “feels they have genuine evidence [of bribery] to contribute they can approach the [police] and ask for it to be included”. No need for a free press at all.
Budget was cut because priorities were stacked and Flutter wasn't high enough. That's exactly the existential risk when beholden to "the hydra."
I use Firefox by default, but I open PDFs with large organization charts very regularly. I have Edge open for this because Firefox renders everything in these documents far too slowly.
Anything related to Java dying is a win in my book
This completely ignores the issue of trust, which explains why the market is so concentrated. In the current system, there are no financial penalties to spamming, like landline spam in Germany.
He said he answered questions. Seems like his answers were useless since they kept asking. And why was he answering, and not someone from the team? This is classic situation in onboarding new devs on a team - the solution is to assign a dev to pair program with them for few days, that way it's either immediately visible they can't do the job and you bring that to the stakeholders, or they make a PR, nothing in between.

1 month is no time to expect great results even with onshore employees coming into your office, much less remote guys in a nonstandard difficult project. They probably meant they are finally beginning to understand it.

This is not "a team", it's a bunch of new developers in the authors' team and treating them in any other way is a serious leadership mistake. The author is wasting his employer's money.
Holy shit I thought he was just good at networking, but it sounds like we have a psychopath in charge of the AI revolution. Fantastic.
The constitution is not Claude's prompt. It's baked in during training.

They've written about how this works. It's very thoughtfully and well executed.
That's one of the reasons SVG is often a third party plug-in with WordPress it's because of all the security involved.
There's entire industries built on top of scraping, something changes, you adapt. In this case where the data is actually used to drive more traffic to the cinemas there will be little protection. Very different to Linkedin protecting their user submitted data as that's their value.
I'm not the one getting down-voted.
This is an overreaction. Web will evolve and Google only can not decide for the rest of the
world by showing some AI snippets. Maybe we will get to see better results. I am personally trying to adapt to the new AI tools. I try to get my answers at times from AI but that doesn't mean I don't care about the links. As long as we care about those links, we will find one. If not Google, someone else will provide a solution , maybe Open AI will or a new company like Perplexity will.
I would guess that some of the improvement was from operational changes following from more realistic risk analysis, and the gradual acceptance that the space shuttles would never live up to the expectations behind that name.
Sure, it's journalism, but just REALLY long. I read the first few sections, had no idea what the story was about, and had to ask the AI to summarize it. Then manually skimmed for the relevant sections.

A lot of journalism is written inverted pyramid style with the most important facts at the top. This piece was more like a long form investigative piece, which is fine, but without a very engaging hook at the start. It was a lot of fluff and exposition... I think I prefer bullet points for something like this, but to each their own.
Fair use is an affirmative defense: you only get to pull it out after they sue you, and your claim is judged on a case by case basis. It’s not the magic spell of protection people seem to think it is.
Ah user testimony on a very complex distributed synchronisation system. This is going to be a fun one. I suspect this is a mix of something technical and something human and the two may or may not overlap or be two separate issues, one giving credence to the other.

What would be nice is a “we are looking into this” from Apple. One of the most annoying things about them is the deathly silence.

I will note I have been shot by iCloud sync bugs before. The was a nasty one in Numbers which would overwrite a change if you did something on two devices at once. They quietly fixed that.
There is usually a carrot along with the stick.
Is the use case of "people who are looking for a city to drive to to watch a movie" really that big?
The rockets are reusable, the people are expendable.
I think I may just need to accept that the work it would take to get to this level would mean a whole life change.

It's been 20+ years since I took calculus in high school, and I haven't taken a math or science class since. I reckon that puts me at least five years behind where I'd need to be to start this course and the listed ones.

Thanks for the recommendation, and helping me assess whether it's the use I want to make of my time!
I've started reviewing some mail as plain text first. I've noticed some are exactly this kind of junk. The hard part of making a "new email" is that it needs to substantially better than current options.

Outlook still supports RTF. (I have no idea what clients support that)
Any new format could also be included as a new content type.

For all the evils, I can't see any replacement markup being a significant improvement: What is the sender trying to communicate? Why is it beyond plain text? How do attachments not fill that gap?

I think the answer is: any client could choose to behave differently on the existing ecosystem. They currently choose not to. While an individual may think it's complex, the solutions aren't truly reducing complexity.
I use Gmail which accurately blocks 99% of spam for me. Have you tried it?

One possibility would be to criminalize over classification.
Those are neat projects to look into, thanks. That said, I feel like wrapping everything in vms/container is actually an example of the complexity I’m fighting against. I want less code that does less with more eyes on it.
Hmm plenty of people on low incomes or in market trades stunt have been accounts. Plenty of lie income people can't get credit cards. Plenty of people simply object to being forced to use a system that can and had refused to hand over their own cash on a whim (see Lebanon recently). So yeah, there are lots of reasons.
Apple enters the generative AI race
For Linux, there are Avalonia, Uno Platform and Gir.Core (rich GObject and GTK4 bindings).

The point of MAUI is to be a successor to Xamarin, for which the primary target are mobile devices, by far the largest market niche.
I think you may need to update the figures in the rest of the article. At some point you mention it should take around 128ns but with the new benchmark that's probably closer to 64*1.25=80ns.
Perhaps an unpopular opinion, but I'd suggest partnering with someone who already has distribution in an area that's genuinely interesting to you. Distribution could be in the form of an existing social media following, blog, or email list. At a minimum, you will learn a lot, really fast, by building for an existing audience with real problems and iterating with their feedback.

I live in that part of Rome where we have 2 phases and no neutral.

I discovered being electrocuted and I could not understand why.

Fortunately heat pumps, "stupid" car chargers and other appliances work with no problems. But an installer told me that I could have had problems with smart car chargers and he refused to do the work.

Also Shelleys seem to work.
Trains use a variety of sensors for odometry. Losing one of them is not catastrophic.
I'm no blogger but here's a quick writeup.

# Setup

Setup was a process, no clicking through a nice UI for this one. I had to set up a web server on a second machine to serve the ignition yaml to the primary machine.

It was a very manual process despite CoreOS's promise of automation. There were many issues like https://github.com/coreos/fedora-coreos-tracker/issues/155 where the things I wanted to configure were just not configurable. I had some well-rehearsed post-setup steps to rename the default user from "core" to my name, set keyboard layout, move system dirs to a set of manually-created btrfs subvolumes, etc.

# Usage

The desktop and GUI worked flawlessly. All I had to do was install i3 and lightdm via rpm-ostree. Zero issues, including light 2D gaming like Terraria.

Audio was a pain. My speakers are fine. My mic worked out of the box in ALSA, but Pipewire didn't detect it for some reason, so I had to write some manual pipewire config to add it manually. Also, I had to learn what ALSA and Pipewire are...

I ran just about everything, including GUI apps, in distrobox/arch containers. This was very nice: Arch breaks itself during updates somewhat often and when that happens I can just blow the container away and install pkglist.txt and be back in 5 minutes. I get the benefits of Arch (super fast updates) without the downsides (upgrade brittleness). I plan on keeping distrobox even once I leave.

# Updates

I disabled Zincati (the unattended update service) and instead I ran `rpm-ostree upgrade` before my weekly reboots.

This is the reason I'm leaving. This was supposed to be the smoothest part of CoreOS, but those upgrades failed several times in the past year. To CoreOS's credit my system was never unbootable, but when the upgrades failed I had to do surgery using the unfamiliar rpm-ostree and its lower level ostree to get the system updating again. As of now it's broken yet again and I'm falling behind on updates. I could solve this, I've done it before! But I've had enough. I'm shuffling files to my NAS right now and preparing to hop distros. If anyone wants to try to sell me on NixOS, now's the time ;)
Oh that's interesting. Yea, paywalls might end being the most effective way of preventing AI bots, but even those could be circumvented. It's a tricky problem for sure.
> freaks who can sing perfect sine waves

Whistle, don't sing. Try it with a realtime analyzer which shows the fundamental being far more prominent than any harmonics above it, which means it's close to a sine wave. Then sing various vowels which will show as a series of harmonics whose amplitude ratios change per vowel but are never reduced nearly as much as when whistling.
You can’t have it both ways though, if an AI can’t hold copyright and is merely a tool being used by a human engineer who bears legal responsibility and ownership, then the concept of “code that was not written by yourself” is completely incoherent.

It is impossible for code to not be written by yourself under that view because it is just a tool. The fact that it’s mad-libs autocomplete instead of normal intellij auto-complete is totally irrelevant.
I am, since there are plenty of other things, all of which I had and you get tested in a whole package. You actually don’t get a new prep prescription without it, since they also do bloodworks for the kidney and liver. I always get tested at latest one month after my last sexual contact, unless it so happened I did not have any bare sex, wasn‘t on prep and don‘t need a new prescription. The non 100% effectiveness, honestly, I just don‘t even want to think about it…

OK, so that's confirmed Yes.
