Yeah, the actual law is irrelevant most of the time, since it's just a shakedown. I did encounter one cop who knew about the 2 different IDP conventions and was able to extract the coffee money even if you had one. If you don't want to pay, offering to accompany them to the station to pay there (and get a receipt) usually works, especially if you're out in the countryside, since they don't want to give up on the chance to stop a bunch of other people. If you do choose to pay, they'll usually share your license plate on a WhatsApp group with the other local police if you ask them to, so you won't get hassled again for the rest of the day.

But it is. Children using social media put active pressure on other children to use social media too. Not using social media today is very difficult for children, since it can make social integration a lot more difficult. Children using social media are actively pushing other children into addiction. Children using social media are actively harming others.

a) you do not break your contract

That pretty much makes all internal APIs and code like Public APIs as a product, which adds a huge costs in terms of initial API designs, assumption validations, because you can't make any mistakes at all. And later down the road it fixes you into a place where if new requirements arise, and they will, you won't be able to pivot or refactor anything.

Literally having this version setup and requirements changing I've seen estimates of what would be a week in a monorepo refactor either being estimated to take a year+ or simply impossible because of so many assumptions of those contracts. And there's such a nasty spaghetti of dependencies with different versions that no one can actually understand or hold in their head, and basically to build certain new features, they would have to start from scratch.
Well... last time I had a look at the assembly code of syscall entry on x86_64, I was scared away... this piece of "assembly" does require some very niche C compiler options to be compatible (stack alignment and more if I recall properly).

Linux "C" code hard dependency on gcc/clang/("ultra complex compilers") is getting worse by the day. It should (very easy to say, I know) have stayed very simple and plain C99+ with smart macro definitions to be replaced with pure assembly or the missing bits for modern hardware programming (atomics/memory barriers, explicit unaligned access, etc), but those abominations like _generic (or static assert,__thread,etc) are toxic additions to the C standard (there are too many toxic additions and not enough removal/simplification/hardening in ISO C, yes, we will have to define a "C profile" which breaks backward compatibility with hardening and simplifications).

I don't say all extensions are bad, but I think they need more "smart and pertinent pick and choose" (and I know this is a tough call), just because they "cost". For instance, for a kernel, we know it must have fine grained control of ELF object sections... or we would get much more source files (one per pertinent section) or "many more source configuration macros" (....but there I start to wonder if it was not actually the "right" way instead of requiring a C compiler to support such extension, it moves everything to the linker script... which is "required" anyway for a kernel).

Linus T. is not omnipotent and can do only that much and a lot of "official" linux devs are putting really nasty SDK dependency requirements in everyday/everywhere kernels.

That said, on my side, many of my user apps are now directly using linux syscalls... but are written in RISC-V assembly interpreted on x86_64 (I have a super lean interpreter/syscall translater written in x86_64 assembly and a super lean executable format wrapped in ELF executable format), or very plain and simple C99+ (legacy or because I want some apps to be a bit more 'platform crossy'... for now).
Oh my. There are legitimate Godwin's law exceptions including historical discussions. The problem is a lack of nuance, context, and/or sarcasm. This makes Threads much like old Twitter.

Old Twitter prevented anyone from using the Southern expression "tarred and feathered" in any context as if it was some obviously racist colloquialism. It was insta-banned with a Hobson's choice of "delete the tweet or we suspend your account indefinitely".
It's a common mistake thanks to people learning in school that the "primary colors" are red, yellow and blue but the explanation is mostly right otherwise: you see cyan because it's a mix of blue and green, i.e. what you get when you subtract red from white light.

Of course human visual perception is a bit more complex than that but the primary mistake here is mixing up RGB and RYB. Quirks of color perception then result in referring to the resulting color as "green" when it clearly contains blue.
You seem to have missed the salient points:

1. The Blue States having their farming largely in Red Counties.

2. The Blue Counties, aka the cities, do NOT have enough food to last until they can negotiate. New York City has a ~5-day food supply: ( https://www.nyc.gov/assets/foodpolicy/downloads/pdf/2016_foo... ). In 2017, 20% of New Orleans was considered food insecure: ( https://icic.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/ROCK_Resilient_F... )

Let's just assume you can secure beef and other foodstuffs, from, say Argentina, on DAY ONE of a Red-County food blockade. A ship from Buenos Ares to Los Angeles takes 20+ days. So even if you acted immediately foodstuffs would arrive in LA two weeks after the supermarkets would be empty.
I don't understand. Did you made "Backslush" or are you going to make a clone?

Hi from Argentina! One of our problems is that keyboards have a "Ñ" (and sometimes "Ç") so they remove the "<" and ">" keys. Now I have to use "Fn" to type "<" and ">" and in an old computer I had to install a custom keyboard driver to type "<" and ">". So if you ever expand internationally, remember to add info about weird key changes.

I thought the Branch Target Predictor on x64 was global, not local, and it has to kick in before decode so even direct branches can be mispredicted. Branch prediction is 2 parts - the conditional predictor and the target predictor. The conditional predictor is actually per 64 byte instruction block (so if you have a few branches consecutively they share branch predictor entries and can step on each other. the target predictor uses a global history and needs to happen very early to keep the front end fed.

> I argued that the Labour win was a landslide

There is no official definition, but generally (in a UK context) a "landslide" is a party winning a big House of Commons majority – like the Tories in 1983 and 1987, or Labour in 1997. And by that standard, 2024 was a landslide – Labour won almost as many seats as 1997, and beat both of Thatcher's records.

What I think what complicates things: both Thatcher's and Blair's landslides were big majorities backed by a big percentage of the vote (> 40%). And since the two things go together, even though quasi-officially it is about the first not the second, it is understandable how some people take the second to be part of the definition as well. For 1983, 1987, 1997, it doesn't make a difference. But then suddenly in 2024 it does – Starmer won a big number of seats, but only 33.7% of the vote – only slightly more than Corbyn's 32.1% in 2019, and actually in absolute terms over 500,000 fewer votes. This is because turnout dropped significantly in 2024 compared to 2019.

> Me and the OP were disagreeing about where the Tories' voters went: Reform, or Labour.

Given the drop in turnout, I think quite a few Tory voters just decided to stay home.

> I argued they mostly went to Labour and my reasoning is that Labour are now the party that best represents socially conservative voters.

That's not numerically possible – the Tory vote dropped by 19.9 percentage points, while Labour only gained by 1.6 points and Lib Dems by 0.6 points. A small minority of Tory voters switched to Labour, but any more than that and Labour would have got a bigger vote share than they actually did. The Tory voters must have gone somewhere else – and given Reform got 14% of the vote, it is obvious very many of them went to Reform.

Also, it's not like the platform is going to give advertisers access to its full capabilities. For one, they don't need to - they only need to sell the minimum it takes to keep the advertisers on board. Two, they wouldn't want some clever advertisers to extract juicy data indirectly and cut out the middleman.

Ask HN: How would you launch a privacy-first, Instagram-like social network?
Hey HN,

I'm planning to launch a privacy-first social network in 2025, inspired by platforms like Instagram. Success for this platform means reaching a sustainable level of recurring revenue, without relying on an ad network.

One challenge I'm anticipating is attracting celebrities and influencers who are already established on Instagram and TikTok. How could I persuade them to use this platform as well? For those with experience or insights, how would you approach building and promoting such a network to reach this revenue goal?

Thanks for any advice or ideas!

namedtuple brings in likely inappropriate complexity, so it is not always simpler.

Consider the object returned by os.stat. It allows getting terms by index:

>>> import os
>>> os.stat("/dev/null")
os.stat_result(st_mode=8630, st_ino=336, st_dev=-2065165533, st_nlink=1,
st_uid=0, st_gid=0, st_size=0, st_atime=1730960121, st_mtime=1730981460,
st_ctime=1730981460)
>>> os.stat("/dev/null")[0]
8630
>>> os.stat("/dev/null")[-1]
1730981720

But that list of 10 values became locked because people do:

(mode, ino, dev, nlink, uid, gid, size, atime, mtime, ctime) = o.stat(filename)

Which means new fields are not accessible by indexing, only attribute lookup:

>>> os.stat("/dev/null").st_blksize
65536

Assuming there wasn't the historical baggage which made os.stat the way it is, why would namedtuple still be the more Pythonic solution, and simpler than a frozen dataclass?

(Historically, os.stat originally returned a tuple, then migrated to os.stat_result and named attributes, both for readability and to allow new fields, but keeping indexing for backwards compatibility support.)

This is true.

SLS is around $ 37000 / kg to Orbit
Falcon 9 is around $ 2700 / kg to Orbit

So in excess of an order of magnitude difference.

Starship build cost is currently estimated at $90 million [1]. Let's call it $100 million to make the calculations simple. So even if they can't reuse anything and the payload is at the low-end of what they expect, so 100t from the 100-150t range, that would be $1 million per ton or $1000 per kilo. So 1/37th of SLS even when fully expendable.

With full reuse, the cost should come down to around $10/kg.

> Relatively tiny GPGPU space

There's a lot of other things which are very GPU parallelizable which just aren't being talked about because they're not part of the AI language model boom, but to pick a few I've seen in passing just from my (quite removed from AI) job:

- Ocean weather forecasting / modelling
- Satellite imagery and remote sensing processing / pre-processing
- Processing of spatial data from non-optical sensors (Lidar, sonar)
- Hydrodynamic and aerodynamic turbulent flow simulation
- Mechanical stress simulation

Loads of "embarrassingly parallel" stuff in the realms of industrial R&D are benefitting from the slow migration from traditional CPU-heavy compute clusters to ones with GPUs available, because even before the recent push to "decarbonise" HPC, people were seeing the increase in "work done per watt" type cost efficiency is beneficial.

Probably "relatively tiny" right now compared to the AI boom, but that stuff has been there for years and will continue to grow at a slow and steady pace, imo. Adoption of GPGPU for lots of things is probably being bolstered by the LLM bros now, to be honest.

CUDA benefits from being early to market in those areas. Mature tools, mature docs, lots of extra bolt-ons, organizational inertia "we already started this using CUDA", etc.

> What the EU has done is far from perfect but it bans the worst practices.

Also, what some people dismissed at the time is that from a European perspective it makes perfect sense to consider any foreign power a potential future threat. That seemed less plausible a few days ago but with the person running the site formerly known as Twitter now likely becoming part of the US government and the foreign policy/trade course the president elect has been advertising throughout his campaign, European leaders seem to be waking up to the possibility that US vendors should no longer simply be considered neutral by default.

Keep in mind European intelligence services have literally watched American intelligence happily infiltrate friendly governments (e.g. the German-American joint venture operating from Switzerland selling fraudulent encryption that Germany abandoned when they saw the US selling to allies, ostensibly to avoid raising suspicions from the real targets) and even wiretap heads of state (cf. Snowden revelations), you'd think people would have wisened up to this earlier but as a German I'm just happy to see any progress at all.
