Cool.
But dammit why aren't tabs more modifiable.
I want to rename them. I want to assign an icon. I am okay if a tab takes up two vertical lines to make it entirely readable. There was an element of something really useful in MS 'Metro' UI -- just the fact that there could be variations in size of target/icon/links.
I currently 'pin' my mail and notes tab. These exist as specific functional tabs -- let me style them a bit differently or something.
If all you have is "status", but no one knows who you are and most people don't care either (no market or fame) that's a very small consolation.

Governments create pharmaceutical monopolies by granting parents that make competition illegal. They do this explicitly so that companies can raise prices, to incentivize and fund drug development (which other government regulations make more expensive). Companies are using the system as designed and intended by the government.

Nobody would develop drugs under today's ridiculously expensive process without some kind of very large incentive, so those life saving drugs wouldn't exist without those high prices. But obviously the system is terrible. Costs could be lower to reduce the need for the price gouging incentive, and there are other incentive structures that could be used instead of granting monopolies that wouldn't have as many terrible side effects. (Price gouging is far from the only issue with patents.)

Sometimes yes. MASQUE just looks like normal TLS port 443 traffic so it's less likely to be prevented. Other issues we had were just bugs with the WARP wireguard implementation regarding how the tunnel is built in Windows. I imagine it works better on Linux or MacOS which is likely what the developers were running when they designed WARP.
This looks awesome a really great step up from the RP2040. I'm a big fan of the original and I'm excited to see all the improvements and upgrades.

I imagine with the new secure boot functionality they've got a huge new range of customers to tempt to.

Also exciting to see them dip their toe into the open silicon waters with the hazard 3 RISCV core https://github.com/Wren6991/Hazard3.

Of course it they'd used Ibex https://github.com/lowrisc/ibex the RISC-V core we develop and maintain at lowRISC that would have been even better but you can't have everything ;)

Such a glaring oversight that I'm actually wondering if it was intentional. Causes engagement/sharing/spreading of other associated commentary/links on the release?
We seriously need better terminology, notation, and pedagogy when it comes to linear algebra. In 2024, such old-style text books just don't cut it anymore.
There's a lot of bunko 3rd-time-rephrased "wisdom" about AI, and enough interest in it that if you have the right title, you can get away with repeating it.

I'm a bit surprised that an HN reader, who presumably has first hand experience with them, isn't sure if its just a hashmap lookup.
China deliberately lowered its fertility to a below replacement level. A few decades later, they decided they wanted to raise it back up higher.

They couldn't. They're not exactly wishy-washy, they happen to be one of the most authoritarian regimes on this planet, even if they understand the benefits of a velvet glove. If they couldn't raise it, why would you think anyone else can?

And we're already at sub-replacement. The same people who make the next generation of people (as small as it is), are the ones who also raise that generation and instill their values in them. What does having one child teach that child about their parents' values? It teaches them that, at most, they should have just one. Or maybe even that they should have none at all. Not only is this a self-reinforcing problem, it accelerates. You don't have a few decades to solve this.

Nor will "evolution" fix it as the other guy said. While some still have large families, it's not just the parents' own values that are instilled, but that of our society collectively. The many who have few or no children have far greater influence on the children of those families, than those families have on everyone else.

Population is counter-intuitive, and none of you understand it.

I personally find it much more likely that someone would ask ChatGPT how to mix up household chemicals to create smoke bomb or tear gas than ask it how to make a nuclear bomb.
This also helps identify people who slip and fall while cliff diving (usually not carrying ID) or get hit in a hit-and-run while walking their dog, or burn up in a friend’s house fire.

I have a friend who volunteers to go through dental records for kidnapped children, trying to locate the records for the body of the found child. These are the types of things people don’t usually think about. And if you’re curious, yes, sometimes kidnappers even destroy the teeth to try and prevent the identification of the children.

These aren’t just to solve crimes, but locate family members of the deceased John/Jane Does.
I tried using it for a simple POC and was very frustrated with it. Now we just use raw api calls, and a state machine to create our dag. Much simpler and very extensible.
Yes, indeed it is a drug addiction.
ha, yeah.
Are you replacing LangGraph with something else? I've luckily avoided LangChain exactly because it's a black box, but been on the lookout for some kind of DAG visualization of LLM flows. LangGraph pops up first on any related searches.
The list of services in your last 'graph are all what are generally considered public goods, not in the sense that they are publicly provided, but that they are non-excludable and non-rivalrous. That is, an ideal public good cannot limit who benefits by it (directly or indirectly), and additional users don't affect total availability (much). These are both ideal conditions, and there may be some degree of excludability and/or rivalrousness in practice, but generally public goods have far less as a matter of degree.

Other notable public goods are national defence, information, other general infrastructure, communications technology, etc.

There's another class of goods and services which are often at least in part government-provided because of coordination problems when provided by independent entities. Examples would include standards (weights and measures, specifications, safety requirements, shipping containers), transactional interchange formats (e.g., billing and purchase codes), large-scale information gathering (census, economic data), and the establishment of laws, regulations, courts, and enforcement themselves. Max Weber's definition of government as having a monopoly on the claim to legitimate use of force is another such case: regions in which that legitimate claim monopoly doesn't exist, in any of its three variants (not a monopoly, illegitimate, ineffectual force) are effectively ungoverned.

And then there's the case of insurance services, especially over broad areas or long periods. Pensions, healthcare, and disaster insurance would be three areas in which governments often, though not always, play a role, largely because private provision of such services simply fails to meet social needs.

If one looks at national governmental budgets, the largest items are typically pensions (e.g., Social Security in the US), healthcare (Medicare), and defence, with all other spending (largely: collective-action regulatory roles) being about a quarter of the overall total.
I put a company like ManorCare under healthcare. In fact after bankruptcy it was taken over by a non-profit group.

Also, profitable is not the measure. Blame capitalism or investors or ourselves. I know I'd rather put my money earning 5% rather than 1%. Both are profitable, but the 1% is not the best use of my capital.

As I said above and again here, healthcare related services should not be under the profit pressures of regular businesses (though then you have to deal with other issues of inefficiencies and waste).
The first source does indeed have a quote about it being a "peaceful demonstration". The second source (The Guardian) also says "Videos posted online showed students peacefully gathering" and the articles links through multiple videos, photos, and quotes throughout

Complexity itself doesn't make it better, if anything it makes it worse. They’re also worse because they’re slower, heavier, less efficient, more prone to failure, and take up more space. Don’t get me started on the toyota mirai fiasco.
Perhaps the author plans to develop the core argument better in subsequent chapters but I find this weak so far. I think my issue with the core thoughts of this piece can be summed up in this statement from the article:

> To place intrinsic value on nature, then, is ultimately nihilistic and profoundly anti-human.

This statement only makes sense if you hold the view that human and nature are two separate things. This is a narrow Western viewpoint, whereas the Eastern mindset skews towards nondualism (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nondualism). The human is seen as an interconnected part of all the nature around them, not a separate thing. In this mindset assigning value to nature is a path to assigning value to oneself.

For example, many cultures with a more collectivist mindset have historically derived great personal meaning and value in their lives from the idea that they were protectors and stewards of the nature around them, even as that nature protected and sustained them.

In my opinion, setting the human apart from nature (and in some cases in opposition) is it's own path to nihilism. The more we build this wall of separation the more quickly we fall down slippery slopes to the darkest areas of modern Western thought. With few other ways to define the value of a human, we attempt to define the value of humans relative to the value they produce for each other, and then we independently isolate human value by ranking humans in order of most value to least value, etc.

>Now, it's almost like games are made in public

well, as public as a celebrity. You'll get all the juicy gossip and drama but almost none of how the sausage is made. Dev talks at places like SIGGRAPH and GDC are absolute gold mines for public info that would be closely guarded secrets 20 years ago for AAA games, but those are still rare and far between.

>Companies are basically forced into early-access because the cost of a bad review by a prominent influencer post-launch is too high.

I think this is a pretty recently dying sentiment these days. AAA games feel buggier than ever and the launch for some may as well be an open beta. They want to get players in now and fix it later after hoping they recoup costs. And I guess it still works enough to keep doing it.
Why does linear algebra elicit so much confusion despite being an elementary topic. I think part of the problem is that the connection between matrices and matrix operations and their applications is not explained well enough. Linear algebra is typically one's first foray into abstract mathematics, and if taught poorly sets one up for failure down the road.
I've heard the claim you have a whole new crop of musicians making reasonable money with tours and Patreon. I'm skeptical - any references for how many.

It's a bit different but I watch a lot of D&D advice youtube channels. The single most popular of them (the entertaining Ginnie D) can make a bare living at it but nearly everyone else has a day job. It's hard to believe the situation for musicians would have a different distribution of results (money made from fame just naturally follows a Pareto distribution).
plenty of applications would be just fine with a 5x slowdown vs state of the art CPUs and could desperately use the security improvement.

Other than the temporal safety overheads-- which you could skil and still have spatial safety worth using-- the worst CHERI does is increase the memory bandwidth for pointers, so in a pathological case you might imagine a 2x slowdown.

In some cases it could make things faster and simpler though, since the CHERI approach can get process isolation without a MMU or TLB, so those overheads could be reduced or eliminated.

> Also, it confuses any code that assumes you can convert a pointer to a long (or long long) and back

such code is already pretty unportable on existing systems.

You can't implement an xor linked list on CHERI (at least not in the pure mode)... hardly seems like much of a loss. :)
Not only did we get interesting stuff, but we would routinely print a few extra prints for a photo album we kept in the back.

I think we sort of knew this was the goal for some of these RTO orders: making the workplace unpleasant is a way to do a reduction in workforce without having a scary layoff. Management just shifts the decision to employees. Scummy, but not exactly a new strategy for trying to shed people without generating a ton of bad PR.

A SaaS product with low churn can generate revenue for decades.

The songs and books that actually last for decades with a high amount of revenue (enough to live off of) is a tiny fraction of 1 percent.
We are avoiding additional dependencies for several reasons, mainly because of security and additional maintenance burden (which Glasskube promises to reduce but so do other extensions we are using). If you have a certain number of addons, the operational burden to keep everything up to date and without conflicts increases considerably.
Very nice use of web components!

I wonder, could you make custom element alternatives to the .bigbang and .gravity-spot classes too? Then they could attach their own resize observers without requiring the developer to do so manually.
I do this too; have you found effective ways to tell firefox to maybe chill on eating all memory? I find if I don't restart ~1/week, it will end up reserving ~32GB of RAM for itself, which is just absurd.
Smart Chrome Tabs: Organize the Browser Like a Pro
Hey HN community,

I’m excited to share a Chrome extension I’ve been working on called Smart Chrome Tabs. If you’re like me and often find yourself drowning in a sea of open tabs, this extension might just be what you need to regain control and boost your productivity.

What It Does:
Smart Chrome Tabs automatically groups your browser tabs based on their content and your browsing habits, giving you a clean and organized browser window. It’s perfect for both casual users and power users who deal with a lot of information daily.

Key Features:

Intelligent Grouping: Automatically organizes your tabs into groups based on content.
Enhanced Productivity: Keeps your focus intact by reducing clutter in your browser.
Easy to Use: A simple, intuitive interface that integrates seamlessly with Chrome.
Privacy First: We only ask for the permissions needed to make the extension work and store all data locally unless you choose to sync with your Google account.
Why I Built It:
I created Smart Chrome Tabs out of personal frustration with managing dozens of tabs while working. After realizing how much time I was wasting trying to find the right tab or accidentally closing important ones, I knew there had to be a better way.

How to Get It:
You can find Smart Chrome Tabs on the Chrome Web Store here.

Feedback and Support:
This is the first release, and I’m eager to hear your thoughts. Any feedback, suggestions, or bug reports are highly appreciated! I’m also here to answer any questions you might have about the development process or the extension itself.

Thanks for checking it out, and I hope it helps make your browsing experience a little more manageable!

Cheers,
RC
Increasing timetable ride time between stations too (beyond actual needed time). The Dutch railways do that a lot.
I'm not an atheist but I have never heard there was ANY evidence of life after death. Let alone abundant as you put it.
Someone who had once reached maybe regular 3 digit number of tabs to barely 10 often I now understand that browser and tab power-use is having as few tabs possible. It's like Inbox Zero thing for me, minus the fad angle.
Then do you have a suggested alternative?
I somewhat disagree. Many artists who were hot in the early 2000s still put out music, but hardly any media attention anymore and much lower sales by the 4th or so album. The public only has a finite attention span. Rap has gone through so many changes over the past 20 years since his career began yet afik he is still able to put out new material and get a lot of media attention and sales for such an old act.
I don't have experience with other companies but I really have been a happy customer of APEC. I have their countertop RO unit and it's been really nice.

Wise.com sends email asking to give personal info to third-party
I have received an email from Wise.com with the subject "Enrol in free dark web monitoring"

1. I don't understand what "dark web monitoring" means. It could mean monitoring for my data appearing on dark web, or monitoring my activity on dark web or many other things... It just sounds very dangerous and shady.
2. "Enrol" is spelled "enroll". Usually scammers write in poor English.

The linked help article is about the breach that was found and how they, due to this, are offering this service now.
The email also contains the deadline.
Altogether it just sounds like a phishing attack more than a legit email from Wise.com.

The email contained this link
https://bfs.cyberscout.com/activate (an unknown third-party) and an activation code for my account to use on that service.

Wise instructed me to use the activation code and submit my personal data to "enrol in free dark web monitoring".
This sounds like a terrible practice. Normally financial and other institutions tell you to never submit your personal data to third-party. Also email "from" field can be faked (more-less).
A better approach, in my opinion, would have been to ask customer to login into their Wise.com account and find the activation code there.
Am I overthinking this?

To me this seems like a security issue, because an unsuspecting inexperienced customer will consider it perfectly normal to have to add their data to third-party websites when (a hacker masquerading as) their financial institution asks them to.
Langchain has the odd nice component I use, I prefer their recursive text splitter to anything else I've seen or cobbled together, but I don't find the code readable or the abstractions particularly intuitive.
Constructive dismissal is apparently only legal if you do it at enormous scale.
I really cannot until this business model FAANG has come up with in the past 20 years where they are somehow owed money by developers for creating services and products for a platform is completely repudiated. I owe you money because a user clicked a link in my app and then bought something? I am so glad I have never written a line of code for an Apple product.

Most books don't even earn out their advances.

While STEM covers a lot of ground, it's a lot more reliable career path than the arts in general.
Yeah, that's the main thing I saw and it's just plain completely wrong. The fact that C++ can more easily bloat into large build times, and people frequently make larger-build-time projects in it, implies absolutely nothing about its behavior in replacing simple macros like max/min.

There's ample evidence that it'll build just a fast as C there, so it's not an issue in this context, and that both can build quickly with care. That's kinda the point of C++: you can write plain C code plus [this one thing] and you basically don't pay for the rest, and it generally achieves that.
Great now they just need to add back a dedicated grab-zone along the top of the window
did they need to build all that?
I'm all for them doing something new, especially integrated tiling support. But it seems they have taken on way too much for a small company.
Wow they really are impudent aren't they.

Hope the EU fines hit them really hard. Obviously they are trying to squeeze out as much money as possible while they can and then just say oopsie and pay some of it back. So the fine must be higher than their entire profit from this otherwise everyone else will be trying the same.
> Japan issues first-ever alert over risk of Nankai Trough megaquake

What is "Nankai Trough" ?
Yes, I am reading James Kaplan's 3 Shades of Blue which tells the biographical story of the main players on Miles Davis's Kind of Blue. It is almost shocking, even though I knew, how impoverished these musicians were even though they were widely acknowledged to be at the top of the art form. Miles did ok financially but most of his peers did not. And yet people still listen to Kind of Blue 70 years later (and hardly anyone listens to modern jazz).
