Show HN: Pure CSS silky Border line animation(open-source code)
Use only CSS to achieve a silky border line animation effect. Key implementation ideas include:

1. Perspective effect: Create a border effect by setting up two nested elements with the parent element having 1 pixel padding.

2. animation: Create an absolutely positioned child element and use the animation property to move it uniformly along the border of the parent element.

3. Uniform animation: By calculating the path and distance of the element movement, adjust the percentage of key frames to ensure uniform animation.

4. Rounded corners: Add rounded corners to the parent and child elements, and adjust the position of the animation elements to fit the rounded corners.

5. Animation optimization: Adjust the animation trajectory at the rounded corners to ensure a natural and smooth transition.

6. Blur shadow: Achieve the shadow effect by setting the background radial gradient of the child element and using the backdrop-filter attribute to add a blur effect.

No, of course not. Obviously if a poor person spends up to 5% [0] of their income on lottery tickets that will have no impact on their financial situation at all. There's no way that changing that behavior could improve their life; 5% is just too small to matter.

https://approximated.app - reliably automating custom domains and their SSL certs at scale. For SaaS, marketplaces, platforms, outbound services, etc. who have a lot of customers that want to connect their own domains.

Currently working on:

- Further improving the embeddable DNS widget (to help/automate users updating their DNS records) that launched last month

- Rolling out the new hybrid self hosted version that allows traffic and certs to only go through your servers, while getting the full benefit of the cloud version

- Tinkering with some AI ideas for improving the existing WAF features (tricky, but potentially powerful)

- Making Edge Sequences (pattern matching and rules applied at the edge) more flexible and powerful with more composable options and ways to match requests

Recently hit a milestone of over a million domains served!

At least with the humans I work with it’s _possible_ and I can occasionally find some evidence that it _could_ be true to hang on to. I’m expending extra effort, but I’m helping another human being and _maybe_ eventually making my own life easier.

What’s the payoff for doing this with an LLM? Even if it can learn, why not let someone else do it and try again next year and see if it’s leveled up yet?
I don't think Switchlens is going to work. It needs to be a separate integrated device. Unless they glue a phone permanently to it.
"… or stop someone's heart." Please give an example of a pacemaker that is known to (potentially) kill the patient if the WiFi/Bluetooth is unavailable for a few minutes. I know that some modern medical devices use 2.4GHz radios for uploading telemetry, self service interfaces, etc. If such a device really exists the manufacturer should be held liable for putting a dangerous, defective product on the market.
The podcast presenters have the typical Google AI affliction of coming across as anxious. I added my sleep routine and the 8 minute podcast was roughly 3 minutes of "important note" type content, where the AI lectures you about risk as if you are a child. Gemini is a nanny bot and it's interesting to see that NotebookLM is as well. The form factor is cool though.
I think it's fair to be skeptical, and there's certainly a fair share of poor educational programs out there.

Having said that, like anything in life, you get what you put in. And at least in the case of GT, their online program is exactly the same they have on campus; same content, same projects, same academic rigor. The only difference is that on-campus has many more classes to choose from.

Of course YMMV. I don't really care about the degree itself; doing it for purely personal enrichment.
I feel like this article is gaslighting. The woke cycle is a long way from being over. The culture war still wages on.
Earlier this year, Wesley Bell, the current prosecutor of the district where Williams was convicted, filed a 63-page motion in court seeking to set aside Williams’s death sentence on grounds of possible innocence, and later offered Williams a deal that would have commuted his sentence to life without parole.

I am disappointed that there are no climate change regulations on AI models. Large scale ML businesses are massive carbon emitters, not counting the whimsical training of NNs by every other IT person. This needs to be regulated.
At 32:10, he asks him how, and all he answers is: the other thing people don’t know about […]. He didn’t answer the direct question but changed the subject to how it wouldn’t hurt him/them if WPE paid a fee to use the trademark; it wouldn’t be a big deal. Then he goes on about how many times WordPress is actually mentioned on the WPE sites. He continues by giving examples that WPGraphQL is not confusing for consumers, but WP Engine is. The reason? His opinion.

You're right, he answered later though with the example of reselling GPL licensed plugins. I guess I missed that at first.

I just stopped watching after an hour, after the arguments about who should actually pay the fee and who should not. No other companies seem to have to pay the 8% fee, but then he decides that WPE should do it and maybe because they hurt his feelings, they probably need to pay even more - his own words.
The strong do what they have to do and the weak accept what they have to accept.

What you are pointing out is nothing revelatory. That a statistical index is dependent on data and methodology is a vacuously true statement and not an argument. That there are multiple indexes trying to measure the same thing is also true and not an argument. The point was to show an index which is well respected (criticisms not withstanding) as a counter to silly claims.

I personally do not place much stock in these rankings since all of them are flawed in their sampling methodology due to using only publicly accessible indicators like google searches, stack overflow questions, job postings, Github and similar public repositories etc. C programmers on average are more experienced and hence have no need for these. They are already aware of most of the Good/Bad/Ugly about the language and are used to working out problems for themselves and hence don't show up in these metrics. Thus C/C++ rankings might appear to be waning when they are holding steady or rising much more slowly w.r.t. others.
Right. It's not about 1 storm in isolation. Climate change is evident through the very clear and measurable patterns of weather over time, not to mention glacial loss, ocean acidity, etc.
Or used a model someone open sourced after spending $100M+ on its training?

Like if I’m a startup reliant on open-source models I realize I don’t need liability and extra safety precautions but I didn’t hear any guarantees that this wouldn't turn off Meta from releasing their models to me if my business was in California?

I never heard any clarifications from the Pro groups about that

I consider the disruption, stupidity, and clear intent to be a public nuisance to warrant a greater deterrent than the original two years, yes.

I'd be more inclined towards leniency if they were, say, actively putting soup in people's petrol tanks than this utterly irrelevant stupidity, as at least the property destruction would be tangentially related to the pursuit of an arguably noble goal.

When a teacher does that every class, multiple times a class, it becomes agonizingly boring for the students who actually understand what is going on. The long silences while no one is willing to raise their hand are painful and irritating. That kind of thing is exactly what pushes the 'nerd' to act the part of the 'wiseguy', sighing as he raises his hand, blurting an answer out out-of-turn, etc. It's also a good way to encourage your smartest students to completely disengage and sleep through class.

The more the class consists of exercises like this, the more it feels like a waste of the more advanced students' time and the greater the sense of distance it creates between the more advanced students and the ones who are slower or more behind.

You'd be better off just putting the more middling, slower or less consistent students in the hotseat than asking if 'anyone' knows the answer, and then whenever their answer has a problem asking if anyone can rephrase or reframe the thing just taught in a way that makes more sense to the unsure student, then ask the student who answered earlier if they're satisfied with that answer or if it's not quite rock solid for them. That way, the more advanced students can at least still participate in moving the discussion forward in a non-antagonistic way (if you are ruthless about prohibiting mockery of incorrect or partial answers).

Same thing if you ask questions that have multiple somewhat obvious answers but only accept one oral answer per student (maybe take additional written answers for credit as homework or a bonus or just some kind of feedback, to make it easier to adhere to that rule). Then your more eager students are more opening up the floor for more reluctant students than just preempting them.

You say that, but it happens all of the time. Its immensely painful of an experience. Painters who lose their sight, musicians who damage their fingers, car lovers who get too old to drive... That's just the fragility of life and people deal with it in different ways. Some people overcome it, some don't. I think it's important to recognize that reality and still choose to love those things knowing full well it could all end tomorrow. Identity is composed of so many things, some we have control over, some not. Of course it's going to be a messy endeavour
By the Equal Justice Initiative’s count, one person is exonerated for every eight people executed. And not everyone who is innocent is exonerated.

That's an extraordiarily high failure-of-justice rate.

Objection to the death penalty need not reflect a view that there are not people who deserve to die. It does reflect the reality that the penalty has not, and by all appearances can not be applied with any level of fairness. Prosecutors, AGs, and governors have simply shown themselves not willing or able to apply that sanction with the equity and seriousness it entails.

Time to take that toy away.
Pre-Trump Republicans had no problem absurdly mismanaging Kansas’ coffers:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kansas_experiment

I think the Republican Party’s positive reputation for handling the economy and running an efficient government is entirely unearned.

Closing down major parts of the government entirely (as Project 2025 proposes), making taxation more regressive, and offering fewer social services isn’t “efficiency.”

I don’t know if you know this but you’re already in the center-right party. The actual problem is that there’s no left of center party, as well as the general need for a number of aspects of our democracy to be reformed (like how it really doesn’t allow for more than two parties to exist, or how out of control campaign finance rules have become).
Why would being the first at the (horizontal) asymptote mean owning a profitable market? In six months, somebody else is at the asymptote as well. If different models are mostly interchangable quality-wise, then the decision will mostly be made on price.

For a market to be both winner-take-all as well as lucrative, you need some kind of a feedback cycle from network effets, economies of scale, or maybe even really brutal lock-in. For example, for operating systems applications provide a network effect -- more apps means an OS will do better, a higher install base for an OS means it'll attract more apps. For social networks it's users.

One could imagine this being the case for LLMs; e.g. that LLMs with a lot of users can improve faster. But if the asymptote has been reached, then by definition there's no more improvement to be had, and none of this matters.
Amazon's RTO is likely worth $100M / year based on the tax subsidies they haven't gotten from Seattle for 2022, 2023, and 2024. https://goodjobsfirst.org/amazon-tracker/?state=Washington

They get these subsidies based on having people employed in the office and generating economic activity in the area where they work, and public transport utilization, and so on.

For example... public transport in Seattle: https://www.axios.com/local/seattle/2023/12/18/seattle-area-...

It dropped from 20m / year in 2019 to 10m / year in 2023.

Amazon claims that with RTO, 7.5m of those trips are from Amazon employees that Amazon pays for ( https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/community/amazon-return-to-... ) - that's either the difference in public transportation or 75% of the current ridership depending on when this was measured.

That's likely a key part of why there's an RTO mandate - Seattle wants the economic activity back and isn't giving Amazon any more tax credits to the tune of $100M until they get their employees back in the buildings.

Beautiful dream, though reality is yet to be tested. The greatest challenge I foresee is that effective food systems require a great deal of processing. Without an army of regular maintainers the ambition may fall to rot, pests, and inconsistent availability (unreliable.)

I myself have had this dream, and have exhausted myself on small scale projects facing similar challenges.
Yep, same here. People sharing and me wanting to learn saved me too. It kept me (mostly) out of trouble, and ended up with me having a successful career in IT, software development, and hopefully soon, security.

The wording was "crossing from a country that hates us," so I guess it depends on how you interpret the word "crossing." To me "crossing from" as opposed to "journeying/coming/emigrating from" seems to refer to the moment of actually crossing the border, in which case they are crossing from Mexico so that would be the country in the sentence.

Sometimes companies forget that their entire existence relies on a middle class that has money to spend.

Way back in the 60s in my country the government in consultation with the business world came up with a genius idea: give everyone a bonus pay check to spend on holidays. It created entire leisure industries nobody could imagine.

If this is the lesson where you're introducing pointers to students, you're probably doing them a disservice. Reminds me of my engineering professors who were bored with the material, so they dove straight into difficult problems.
> They also remit billions back to Mexico which never make into our economy:

OK, but that's not illegal in any way, and I don't think most people would consider it wrong either. The US is a free market economy, so you can pretty much do whatever you want with the money you earned, and gifts aren't taxed at normal wealth levels. Why would it be any different for Mexican residents (and if they aren't permanent residents, it makes even more sense to send their money back home where they are legally expected to return)?
While that's quite true, you probably must not have listened to the output of my software podgenai yet. It is not a substitute for reading material, but I'd say it's quite instructive in its own way.
> It's cool to be an engineer today. It pays very well, it's easy to make friends, find a mate, etc.

Raku is such a great language! It’s a shame it doesn’t get the attention it deserves. Thanks for sharing!
I have a pretty thorough understanding of both. But I can't understand how you'd find them to be similar in any way. Functions forming closures can be called conditionally, in a loop, or even when no react component is even rendering. Most of the complexity of hooks is not addressed at all by closures, and I don't really what part of their behavior is related at all. Maybe just that you can pass a value to one function, and then get it returned from another one.

The standard hooks delegate to a dispatcher, which has access to the current fiber. The current fiber has a linked list of memoizedState for the current work node. It's true that a lot of the functions that eventually service the hook calls do contain closures. But that doesn't seem to grant much insight into how to use them or how they work.

It's like saying "if you have an understanding of loops, the reconciler is quite intuitive". I mean yes, the reconciler uses loops. But the behavior of reconciliation may still be quite mysterious.
While this approach can engage some students, it risks confusing others and potentially eroding trust. A balanced method might involve planned "mistakes" alongside clear, accurate instruction.
