Brings new meaning and scale to the idea of a RUD.
As long as people see their chosen political party as their hometown sports team and the other political party as a bunch of demonic goblins looking to murder and imprison them and their families, that will never happen.

If you're not willing to vote for either political party to achieve your supported goals, you're part of the problem and a big part of why the country is the way it is.
With stories like these, it's easy to blame the guy and say he should've known better than to get into debt. To an extent I agree, however there's probably a bigger picture takeaway. There is a mismatch between what people expect/want based on what ideas are sold to them by society, and what is financially possible. You could make the argument that in the past, the wage to living cost ratio was high enough that you wouldn't have to bust your ass so much to just barely get by. Could he have lived more financially optimally? Yes (you always can). But is it that crazy to get an education and then expect a decent life after? The guy works 60 hours a week yet cannot afford housing, proper food, a family, nor any life pleasures. Is that reasonable? Is this really the best society we can come up with?
That's roughly the same size -- like swamp thing vs namor -- both are name brand, almost blue chip heros.

Or put another way -- as they said in gawker[1] -- if you're in a lawsuit with a billionaire you better have a billionaire on your side or you're losing.

In this case -- it's unlikely that qualcomm will have quite enough juice to just smoosh Arm, in the same way that they would be able to just smoosh a company that's 100th the size of arm (not just 1/10th), regardless of the merits of the case.

Using a a Ruby script called blinken I plugged to my makefile to blink specific patterns ont keyboard's led's to indicate that the build was "busy" led's running from left to right. Broken build: "the 3 led's scroll-lock, num-lock, caps loc flashing slowly" Build ready "the 3 led's moving to-and-fro like a Cylon" I was working on firmware for KVM's to support key-codes for all many languages. The test team was not happy with me. :( Quit messing around! They said.
IPv6 and Python 3 are case studies in How to Not Upgrade Something.

They basically created entirely different products that provided a marginal immediate benefit to the users and then said "upgrade whenever you get around to it". They are both now in the 2nd decade of their upgrade cycle.

PowerPC->Intel, Xbox/PlayStation emulation, x86 32-bit>64-bit, and Java are all technologies that had successful upgrade strategies that were centered around replacing the original product rather than indefinitely providing an alternative.
Ask HN: What is a great open-source visual email builder?
I'm looking for something which I can embed in my site and have customers build beautiful emails. Kind of like the MailChimp email builder but open source.

I have tried Puck which is awesome, but is more of a website builder. I've also played around with Unlayer, though it gets quite pricey. Anything else out there?
What a great technical dynamic duo DACHA with French style.

My guess is this could only work in the airline industry where an efficient bureaucracy would be a competitive advantage.
Remember the DVD decoding legal battles? I wrote a Perl parser (using RecDescent before GCC decided to use it, making my script extra-useless) that translated C code to an English quasi equivalent, and back. https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dst/DeCSS/Gallery/ Voila.
For years I was traveling for work, 300+ days a year. I used booking.com almost exclusively and never had this problem.

I did however run into an even worse bug on their platform once where my card got billed, but right after the website crashed and a confirmation never was sent. Naturally, this happened when I had little funds myself.

I called customer support and without a booking number they couldn’t do anything, which I naturally never received…

Thankfully, the money was refunded within 24 hours.

Still I use booking.com, I consider it a great service.
It does, but this isn’t personal speech but corporate. I can say that buying an iPhone makes me smarter and irresistibly attractive and it’s covered by the first amendment, but it becomes corporate speech once Apple pays me to say that and is thus subject regulation about honesty and disclosure. This is noticeable in ads for things like athletic products – even if it’s a pro athlete they very publicly sponsor, the claims tend to be things like saying they only run in those shoes or some sports drink is part of their training because they don’t want a legal situation because it sounded too much like “Nike said I could run a 4 minute mile if I bought their shoe!”

Review curation is an especially good target for this because the question isn’t the speech but rather whose speech is promoted. Nobody gets in trouble if they accept testimonials and only use positive ones in ads because consumers know those aren’t unbiased but a review page which looks like anyone can post there is making a different promise.
What definition takes up fewer components in a digital circuit is a terrible reason. The whole point of math is we can reason about the most conceptually simple idea, rather than with engineering constraints. Sets existed before circuits! And before digital the only “hardware representation” was an analog voltage, which cannot easily represent a pair.

Also it’s not even true. There is no hardware representation for the ordered pair containing the earth and the moon. You now need a bit encoding of the information.

The distinctions of infinite constructions you mention are already well understood. See “recursively enumerable set”.

Ordered pairs are trivially definable in terms of sets. It’s a distinction which does
not change any of the foundational proofs and gives you no new insight. This is like arguing that bounded vs counted ranges are foundationally important. We can show they are equivalent in one paragraph and move on.

An actually new ideas will give new results.
Where are you getting the MCP2221A for $5? I’m assuming you’re in the US? Here in Germany, the lowest price I found was 11€ on AliExpress. Or is there a better source I’m missing?
Given the amount of money being pumped into it, it has a pretty short expected lifespan if it doesn't get good fast. Promises of jam tomorrow will only go so far.
I remember when Intel was shipping x86 mobile CPUs for Android phones. I had one pretty soon after their release. The vast majority of Android apps I used at the time just worked without any issues. There were some apps that wouldn't appear in the store but the vast majority worked pretty much day one when those phones came out.
It's not affordable its subsidized.
Now, in MicroLisp, Common Lisp and maybe Emacs' Elisp too:

We've had Ctags since 1992, so being able to grep for functions hasn't been important for 32 years... but there's still people who prefer to use grep to look for functions, so having a specific keyword is beneficial for them. It may also make the lex/parse/generate cycle simpler, but I'm not a compiler engineer, so I don't know for certain whether it does.
> That is debatable. What was the last war it won?

Iraq in 2003. Trivially stomped what was left of the Iraqi military and Saddam's entire government. There's a difference between a war and attempted nation building. And worth noting that nation building Iraq has not failed as of yet 20 years later. Iraq's GDP per capita is higher than Vietnam, Indonesia, Jordan, Egypt, Philippines, India, etc - which isn't horrible given what they have been through.

What was the last war it lost? It didn't lose in Vietnam; it won every major engagement and along with South Vietnam held ~85% of territory when the US and South + North Vietnam signed a peace treaty and the US left. North Vietnam promptly ignored the treaty and resumed its conquest. Funny to pretend the US lost a war years after it left. It didn't lose in Afghanistan, the primary mission was to destroy bin Laden's Al Qaeda in Afghanistan (which was fully accomplished and bin Laden was killed). Nation building failed in Afghanistan, although the US was able to easily hold the core of the country with sub 30,000 soldiers and could have technically stayed forever (but it was pointless).
What license do you want to share your work under? MIT? GPL? There's a couple of trade-offs in that choice.

Github has an overview of some of your options: https://github.com/readme/guides/open-source-licensing
I guess it is a crime from the date they were added to the list, but not a crime to keep using devices purchased earlier.
Totally unrelated to the topic but for my fellow Portuguese geeks, `Damas` is the same Damas that wrote the famous (or infamous) Portuguese C book.
Blew my mind when I found out.

It is evident everyone CAN be coerced. Not that everyone WILL BE, because some people still think of themselves as people, not some “honest citizens” or “economic agents”.

It is also evident that someone quite far from Russia HAS ALREADY BEEN coerced to make that unannounced change, but you try really hard to look the other way. “Those Linux nerds” were shown who's the boss in the room when it comes to “important matters”. Don't you feel that the form of that change itself is a sign of silent disobedience, and you are expected to participate in public outcry forcing further developments instead of just bending over willingly?

It is totally possible that there was some direct intelligence that those accounts can be used in some clandestine operation in the future, probably without even asking some of the owners. After all, spies are #1 information source to other spies, they run the global spectacle together. Still, accepting “this is secret” as an excuse, you are already accepting defeat.
I never remember the clear lines.

I think they're bared from US distribution and PlayStore being Google is a no-go.

But they're not banned in the EU nor SEA or anywhere outside the US really, and the open source part of android is also probably fair game.

It feels like refocusing on the Chinese market only is a business move more than a limitation of what they can do.

Perhaps Xiaomi is putting too much market pressure to make it viable to them ?
And Lotus 1-2-3 (and the "/" commands).
Pgroll 0.7.0 Update
Huawei is very present at EuroRust and seem to look for a lot of people to hire.

I guess it makes sense, I was curious why they would want people to work on e.g. Servo since Firefox is already available on Android... now I know :) Their team there made a pretty good impression for the record, they were knowledgeable and pitched their projects quite well (several of them quite interesting).
Bridges nicely with the Asimov story of a civilization that prepares for its supernova by constructing a monument to survive it.
I understand that experiment... but just wondering.

For example - we live 100 km. from mine parents, wife parents are 200 km from us.
Mine brother live with parents. Wife brother live near their parents - 10 km. and visit them almost daily.

In Southern Europe - it's OK. For Northern Europe it's not normal - there children leave home early.
Seconded, and I'll even add that you can buy second-hand laptops, they even have an included battery that will help you for short outages.

But more importantly, buying second-hand anything is orders of magnitude better than a new Raspberry Pi, because most of the environmental impact is on the building of end devices. Re-using an old laptop you don't use anymore furthers its life. The impact of usage, whether it draws 2W or 50W, doesn't change much on that front.

In any case, please stop buying new things, and re-use existing hardware instead of inducing even more pollution.

Show HN: TTShift – build a work schedule from the text requirements
I want to create a work schedule builder that is (1) easy to start with and (2) offers great flexibility. And now I have a very basic MVP that I want to show.

Here are some things it can handle while building your schedule:
* Set the number of workers needed per shift and specify constraints. Ex: each shift has a minimum of 8 workers and 2 of them must be certified staff that can be assigned to hazardous tasks.
* Respecting mutually exclusive shifts. Ex: If the worker is assigned to a night shift, he can not be assigned for a day shift on the same or following day.
* Take into account each worker’s availability and the maximum number of shifts they can work. Ex: John is only available on weekdays, and can do 3 shifts per week.
* Enforce mutually and non-mutually exclusive constraints. Ex: if the worker is assigned to handle the cash register during the morning shift, he cannot also be assigned as a floor supervisor during that same shift, since both roles require full attention.
* Prioritize certain constraints over others to ensure critical tasks are covered, even if not all shifts are fully staffed. Ex: In the event of understaffing, prioritize essential roles like healthcare or safety positions.
* Takes into account workers' preferences regarding who they work with or who they prefer to avoid. Ex: Sophie, Emma, and Noah have a great rapport and boost productivity when scheduled together so consider this when building the shift.

If you want to try it, keep in mind that it's just an MVP to play around with. Sometimes you'll have to be extra verbose with your requirements to get the desired result.

I really appreciate your feedback.
I'm not sure it's still the case, but I've had ChatGPT run shell commands. But I don't know what you could do since it's ephemeral, doesn't have internet access or root. Plus I'm sure they have security scanning.
"Chilling effect" implies that we should want ARM to succeed.

IMO we need to question the premises of the current IP ecosystem. Obviously, the principles of open-source are quite the opposite to how ARM licenses IP. (Afaik, ARM also licenses ready-to-go cores, which is very different from what Q is getting.)

It's easy to see how RISC-V avoids the conflict of interest between owning the ISA and licensing specific implementations.
And putting the old ones in a SIMM-stack to still use them on a new motherboard, because noone would be so crazy as to throw away good DRAM.
What really gets me is how much of that virtual infinity is completely, utterly off-limits to us for all eternity. Trillions upon trillions of planets and stars that will just wink out one day, never to be seen again.

Short of some extremely radical new physics, humans will never, ever reach these other galaxies. Maybe the Magellanic Clouds, and Andromeda (which is coming to us).

Even the most optimistic sci-fi like Star Trek balks at traversing intergalactic space and they have warp drive, wormholes and sometimes go to other dimensions!
His friends at Tencent might have the desire and capability to do so.

If I were a CCP official I'd even relax some video game regulations when played on HarmonyOS to increase adoption. Under the guise of it having more 'safety' features or something like that.
Especially if it becomes the vector of an attack.
It would be more accurate to call it insurance than a debt, because the tax is called "Federal Insurance Contribution Act." The insurance product that Social Security is most similar to is an annuity, a contract that specifies that you pay in and then the insurance pays out when you reach a certain age.

I would be pretty upset if I paid into an annuity plan my whole adult working life and then the insurer reneged on their obligation. Social security not paying out would be even more upsetting, because you're legally obligated to pay for it, whereas buying an annuity is a choice.
So when every era ended, the next would was much bigger. This one won't be any different and we will see the need for engineers skyrocket again. The ones that don't update themselves will have difficult staying in the game, for sure.
I am under the impression that tiny houses value decrease over time though.
>it's a single company developing BOTH the Operating System and the hardware it is supposed to be deployed in

That's what Apple has been doing for nearly 20 years now.
There’s no disagreement between us on the value of using mostly memory safe code. I’ve advocated it here for years.

I also promoted techniques to verify the “unsafe” portions by using different, verification methods with some kind of secure linking to avoid abstraction gap attacks.

The detractors were complaining about changing the definition of memory-safe code. It was code in a language that was immune to classes of memory safety errors. If the code compiles, the errors probably can’t occur. A guarantee.

The new definition they’re using for this project includes core blocks written in a memory unsafe language that might also nullify the safety guarantees in the other code. When compiled, you don’t know if it will have memory errors or not. That contradicts what’s expected out of memory-safe code.

So, people were objecting to it being described as memory safe Rust if it included code blocks of memory-unsafe, not-Rust code. There’s projects that write the core, performance-critical blocks in safe languages. There’s also those doing making crypto safer, like Galois’ Cryptol or SPARK Skein. So, using the right terminology helps users know what they’re getting and reviewers do apples to apples comparisons.

For this one, they might say it’s “mostly safe Rust with performance blocks written in unsafe assembler for speed.” (Or whatever else is in there.) The high-security community has often talked like that. Instead of hurting perception, it makes suppliers more trustworthy with our users more educated on well-balanced security.
Excel (and spreadsheets in general) is one of the greatest inventions in history.

There is hardly anything useful you can do with computers that you can't do in Excel. Spreadsheets are a higher level abstraction to computation itself.
>They're doing $300 billion in sales (and $100 billion in profit) in just iPhones, it's the most lucrative single product for a private company in world history

Yeah, but that slice of the market is in decline for them.

"According to Stocklytics.com, iPhone revenue dropped $2.7 billion year-over-year, totaling $85.2 billion in H1 2024."

Makes sense since everyone and their dog already has an iPhone and keeps them for longer than ever meaning selling more iPhones now is more challenging compared to monetizing all the stuff people buy and do on them.
You're right I, here and now in 2024, don't believe it, at least not without some pretty tightly bounded limits. And when you take it to extremes like "afghans vs danes" I think it becomes clear that lot of other people also never really believed in limitless cultural tolerance and sensitivity to the same extent with which they peddled it and that there was always implied limits that were never verbalized.

Funny you mention Afghanistan. I almost did in my original comment. I think Afghanistan and the people we we spent 20yr propping up there is the wedge that will drive open the door to broader discussion domestically.

You can already see this starting to happen where people are getting more comfortable comparing the pros and cons of various subsets of American cultures. Will it turn into anything, IDK.
Usage of their equipment is one thing, technology export to a blacklisted company is another.

The telecom providers arguably put quite some pressure to maintain such a distinction, since they purchased and paid for said equipment.

But for i.e. Google it would have been a crime to provide dedicated technology access (early-access code, Google Services, etc.) for Huawei to then integrate into their products.
> For example, it is surprisingly familiar with the physics of interactions between human skin and yogurt.

Well, that's a niche one.
The reason Huawei has a distinct non-Google Android flavour poisons the whole endeavour. Huawei is registered on the US Entity List.

You can have the surveillance gulag of Google, or the surveillance gulag of the CCP. Pick your poison.

I've been playing it quite a bit. Seems the early game is pretty much the same as old plain Factorio, just with a few subtle tweaks and quality-of-life improvements.

So far I've got up to blue science and managed to get a nuclear reactor going. Next thing I suppose is to get purple and yellow science going and get construction/logistics bots doing their thing.
Interested to see how new administrations take this into account, especially with younger generations being more open to drug legalization. Fentanyl will be especially challenging to curtail.
> "the amount of lithium present would meet projected 2030 world demand for lithium in car batteries nine times over"

Does that mean the entire field has enough lithium for the requirements of 2030, 9 times? Or in other words, it can supply the lithium needs of car batteries from 2030 to 2039? That's not particularly long...

Doctors trial first mRNA vaccine against vomiting bug norovirus
I asked Claude if its logo choice was an intentional Vonnegut reference by Anthropic, would that be upsetting:

> If Anthropic intentionally referenced Vonnegut's irreverent artistic style, I wouldn't be bothered. After all, Vonnegut used humor and seemingly crude imagery to explore deep questions about humanity, consciousness, and free will - themes that are quite relevant to AI. It would be a rather clever literary reference.
you mean 16^6
Wait times in the US are also ridiculous. A couple years ago I tried to make a doctor's appt, at the clinic where I was regularly a patient, and had decent insurance, but it was for check-up stuff and to ask some questions. I called in July; the first available appointment was December.

On the other hand, when I've gone to that clinic with urgent issues, they see me the same day.

I gather it is much the same in systems with decent healthcare systems; just much, much, much less likely to bankrupt you just for being sick.
Oracle v Qualcomm would be epic.
The decline and X buttons on your cookie banner have no effect. I'm pretty sure that violates some kind of law somewhere...
I'd assume because it's spam; it has made producing low-quality crap practically free, leading to the whole internet being flooded with it. See the notorious baby peacock, for instance.
Julian Assange was wanted for publishing confidential documents, not speaking out against the government.
I suppose I meant "calm like the modern image of Jesus, that has dramatically evolved and been cultivated over 2 thousand years", but that's a bit of a mouthful.
I don’t get this argument. If the goal is “buy the most power for a given budget”, how is “but you bought used!” a gotcha? As long as there are no used RasPis with better performance for the price, the used PC is still the better choice.
Wait times are much shorter if you cut off many people because they can’t afford the treatment.
I mean, if you go to a concert and don’t really care about the music, sure. The sound will suck, far worse than just a venue’s subpar sound system.
Ah, satellites yes I agree. I wasn't thinking of this critique against putting things in space, but against manned missions to outer space. I'm all for sending up robots and sending those to other planets to figure out the situation.
