> Trump did NOT float this idea.

Here is the exact quote:

> Right. And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning. Because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs. So it would be interesting to check that. So, that, you're going to have to use medical doctors with. But it sounds — it sounds interesting to me

So we go back to my point. Am I supposed to just pretend he doesn’t say shit like this, so that I avoid offending trump supporters?
This is perfectly fine if your language of choice doesn’t have a robust package manager that supports version pinning. But then you need to enforce pinning across your org which could prove its own challenge.
Anti-US measures, as in… investigating anti-competitive business practices?

You're saying this as if the EU is just doing this for the hell of it. That's frankly just silly. And yes, I would expect that if an European company would be guilty of anti-competetive practices over there in the US, that the company would get repercussions.

And, well, if Trump wants to challenge us in a trade war again, be our guest. It probably won't go any better than last time.

> It causes issues in eg openbsd where you can only call syscalls from libc

OpenBSD allows making syscalls from static binaries as well. If Go binaries are static, it shouldn't cause any problems.
It's easy for them to understand the effect, I think it's harder to explain the cause in a way that resonates.
I see this behavior coming from either side. We are insanely polarized.
Hey HN,
I’m here to share Keploy’s new VS Code extension for automated unit test generation.

We built it to make unit testing as close to zero-effort as possible because, let’s face it, writing and maintaining unit tests is time-consuming. Unlike ChatGPT, Qodo, or other AI-based tools, Keploy focuses on generating reliable, maintainable test cases by running five iterations to eliminate flakiness before tests are even saved—so what you get are dependable, ready-to-run unit tests. And if you’re like me, you’ve probably found it tedious enough at times to push it off, but the code quality trade-off just isn’t worth it.

Why Keploy’s Unit Test Tool?

Testing shouldn’t be a bottleneck, yet for many of us, it’s the last thing we get around to because of time constraints. With the Keploy extension, the goal is simple: automate unit test creation in a single click. No frameworks to set up, no complex configuration—just plug in, generate, and start testing.

Common Issues We’ve Encountered with Unit Testing:

Manual Test Writing Overhead: Hand-coding unit tests for each file or function gets tedious fast. It’s especially true when the focus is on delivering features or fixing bugs.
Test Coverage Gaps: Even with automation in place, gaps often remain in test coverage due to missed edge cases or lack of test maintenance.

Version Compatibility Hassles: Many tools in the testing ecosystem can be version-sensitive, which means keeping dependencies in sync is another layer of upkeep.

Maintaining and Updating Tests: Every code change means updating or creating new tests, which can slow down the development cycle when deadlines are tight.

Here’s How Keploy’s Extension Helps:

One-Click Unit Test Generation: Simply open the file, click ‘Generate Test’, and the extension creates relevant unit tests for your file automatically.

Language-Agnostic Setup: The extension is designed to handle multiple languages, allowing you to maintain a single tool across projects.

Automated Assertions: Keploy leverages AI/ML to automatically generate meaningful assertions, so you can focus on writing code, not test cases.

Easy Debugging & Maintenance: With tests pre-generated, it’s simpler to catch issues before they escalate—just run, review, and tweak as needed.

Perfect for visualising performance: Once generated, the tests show a report of the discarded test cases and the passing test cases

I’d love any feedback or thoughts you have, especially from those who’ve been looking to simplify their unit testing process.

> Crypto people kept suggesting that crypto was a solution to an X problem while ignoring that a database was a better solution the problem.

Only if you ignore the fact that a database (in traditional sense) doesn't solve the problem of decentralized peer to peer payments, which is the key differentiator of cryptocurrencies.

> I’ve yet to hear any good use cases for crypto, and I’ve been asking for years on here.

If you've been asking for years, I'm sure that someone, at some point, has told you about crypto's censorship resistance and international payments in places that are poorly served by the banking system for a variety of reasons.

Would you like to hear more or have you already dismissed these as "not good use cases"? It would be nice to differentiate between use cases that don't apply to you personally, and use cases that don't apply to anyone.
> If you're being honest with yourself, can you even imagine a middle-aged man drinking bleach to get rid of covid?

Lots of them did.

https://www.poison.med.wayne.edu/updates-content/kstytapp2qf...

But my larger point is that his supporters support such statements. Not that they’re stupid enough to inject bleach (although that did happen.) It’s more that, when bringing up that he even said shit like that, trump supporters get offended that you’re condescending to them. Like, how dare you bring up that thing he actually said.

And when I say they support statements like that, it’s because they bend over backwards to find ways to convince themselves that he’s somehow not a lunatic for saying it, trying to find ways of charitably interpreting his drivel. That’s what “support such statements” means.

What Is Steelmanning?
They are documented and therefore not illegal.
They've solved a lot of the manufacturing issues since then and since it's already a premium product, why not go all in? There might be cases where the extra cache helps performance in heavily multithreaded workloads, also niche usecases like running the chip in a headless gaming server, which would allow for splitting of the CPU into two for simultaneous game streaming without significantly compromising performance for either client.

That's the point of no compromise, sometimes it's nice to have 100% benefit (not to say that making a single CCD cache version doesn't make sense as a product).
> Men feeling threatened by women who make more than them or are smarter than them seems like something that needs to be worked on individually rather than socially.

I get where you're coming from, but I think there’s more to it than just individual insecurities. Society as a whole still pushes the idea that men should be the breadwinners, so when they fail at that their worth (in their eyes as well as society's) just plummets.

Even though people say that the idea of the male breadwinner is outdated, these expectations are still baked into how we think about success and relationships.

I remember meeting Alexia briefly decades ago. I was working in western Connecticut and went down to NYC (Columbia, I think) to hear presentations at a meeting where the Synthesis kernel was discussed. It was clever and memorable. She was known by her deadname at the time; the literature from then still has that name, so be aware if searching.

I am not saying your experience must be the same.

According to the three japanese people in my group here and some other feedback from people living there before, same as you I guess, and they speak japanese quite ok, our conclusion is that being one more is not as easy as in other countries.

I say this from the strictest respect to japanese. I like them, I like their culture.

If you live there you must know perfectly that just bc they act politely does not mean they are thinking you do not bother them. A japanese would rarely tell you that. And if someone did, it is likely to do it in an indirect way, as most asians do. Japanese are in the extreme of that polite behavior.

> we collectively spent hundred of billions on it

Remember the Metaverse? We are talking about entities that can burn billions on speculative projects and it is just a rounding error on quarterly profits. Let alone that frequently the outlay is in-part recovered via the various "sell shovels in a gold rush" strategies.

This is what total stranglehold of a critical sector helps with. Inefficiency of capital allocation at interplanetary scale - but that's another story.

LLM's might be new but the ML/AI type of efficiency/productivity argument is decades old. The domains where it leads to "gains" are generally when the org deploying algos manages not to be held responsible for the externalities unleashed.

To me she obviously cleared the incredibly low bar required to be better than her opponent: a self-serving demagogue who literally tried a coup and has a long history of grift and worse.

I’ve got family who support him, and I’ve heard their F-you sentiments against a government and liberals looking down on them and telling them how to live (get vaccinated, wear a mask, don’t have guns, don’t eat meat, don’t drive a hummer, don’t say slurs, don’t bully, men are toxic, etc).

My assessment is the root is a desire to retain their status as “real Americans” who are socially on top. Religion, racism, nationalism, heteronormativity, patriarchy are all just useful tools for this. Policing is crucial, and don’t be too gentle.

I probably am blinded by this assessment and can’t see past it.

Ochlo-democracy decided to put Socrates to death.

I'm convinced political parties devolve into corruption by wealth "regulatory capture"-like malignancy in under-regulated, greed-driven, individualistic, low-trust societies.

Sortition is one way out. Throw out the political parties, divide-and-conquer social divisions, distracting team-sport animosities that distract for 1-2 years. Instead, choose functionaries from professional societies at random to fulfill a 2 year term of public administration in roles that would otherwise be hotly-contested. No more political control and chaos driven by the 1% or the 99%. While that would mean an end of the failed democratic experiment generally, it would eschew fascism, kleptocracy, ochlocracy, and oligopoly. Just plain, random persons fulfilling their civic duty to keep basic civic functions going. Feedback from the populace would arrive in the form of comments, suggestions, and petitions that would be taken under advisement. Infinite freedom to choose criminal or actors to abuse power leads to no freedom at all. The so-called "this is the best form of government apart from all others that have been tried" is itself fallacious and a lie without evidence.

Agree. I think I'll stay in the OG site.
In the '90s, a lot of dial-up BBS were owned by <16yo teens. Later the same happened with internet forum. Today, you'd think 16yo is old enough to have your own social media. Maybe a Mastodon or Lemmy instance, or something unfederated like an old phpBB forum or something. Yet the australian gov think these same people aren't old enough to access a social media! They should incite their teens to have one in their bedroom, fcs.
I'm in Europe and mine sure was not taken on location. Had it done in a mall, and they sent it electronically to the police.
In both of the two European countries I've been involved in a passport application for, we had to bring photos along, which we got taken by a photographer in a copy store. There was no certification of the photographer involved that I'm aware of, just the usual list of requirements for the photo that they had to follow.

> I just don’t see an advantage.

You don’t have to deal with C ABI requirements with respect to stack, or registers management. You also don’t need to do dynamic linking.

On the other hand all of that comes back to bone you if you’re trying to benefit from vDSO without going through a libc.
Here it’s simpler, the same machines handles everything. You make the appointment, go there, and done. Then it’s just the pick up.
Oh, you will be very disappointed. This is the script:

#!/bin/sh

result=$(ping -n -c 1 -W 1 1.1.1.1 | perl -lne '/icmp_seq=1.*time=([0-9.]+) ms/ and print $1;')
if [ -z "$result" ]; then
echo "I: -- ms"
else
echo "I: $result ms"
fi

It runs as a shell script in my XMobar every second.

There are several advantages to using kernel syscalls directly:

1. No overhead from libc; minimizes syscall cost

2. No dependency on libc and C language ABI/toolchains

3. Reduced attack surface. libc can and does have bugs and potentially ROP or Spectre gadgets.

4. Bootstrapping other languages, e.g. Virgil

Poland saw net increase of GDP by 1-2% solely due to immigrants in 2023. And that number is from their own Warsaw institute, not some outside entity. In the same time period Poland saw immense monetary inflow from immigrants, who had to spend their money in the country, far more than any spending on those same immigrants.

And this is super short term data. Imagine how much better they are in long term, after assimilating and finding good jobs, founding businesses etc. Poland was losing population and in general not topping development charts, but immigrants fill this gap and boost the economy.

PS: an anecdote - I'm now an adult immigrant in Poland. I'm paying approximately 39.5% of tax now, a crazy rent to the Polish citizen landlord and all local products and services. I won't be eligible for Polish pension for two more decades, and after that I'll probably get some minimal one because I've started too late. I'm also paying some incredible sum to the healthcare system (included in those 39.5%) while not using it much. Statistically the most ill human groups are kids and elderly. Immigrants skip the kids stage themselves and elderly part is very far into future, so they are net gain in the healthcare system.

The whole system is just so polarized that both sides absolutely despise each other, and so both side dehumanize the other. I don't see this ever improving, it's just a shit show where both sides blindfold themselves to opposing ideas and fling as much of it as they can.

ZGC Automatic Heap Sizing (JVMLS 2024)
Michael Crichton’s State of Fear is a prominent example of climate science denial wrapped in a techno-thriller narrative. In the book, he portrays mainstream climate science as alarmist and driven by political motives rather than factual evidence. Crichton uses the plot to imply that climate change fears are exaggerated, fueled by a coalition of media, scientists, and activists with hidden agendas. Despite claiming to be based on scientific data, the book misrepresents studies, cherry-picks data, and cites outlier opinions to undermine the overwhelming consensus on human-caused climate change. The novel’s presentation has been criticized for promoting misinformation and distorting the complexities of climate science to fit a skeptical narrative.

As a counter to this: advertisers not knowing how to use the targeting options available to them != the platform can't target well.

Saying that though, it does seem like as soon as I click one advert (either out of curiosity, or to waste obvious scam advertisers budget), I'm suddenly inundated with similar adverts.

Worse I've clicked an ad, bought a product and still seen adverts for the same product from the vendor after the fact. I'm pretty sure there are ways for vendors to preclude such wasteful ad spend.
