It's very much a, I guess dog whistle? Hidden in plain sight secret handshake? I have one expensive watch left after my divorce/finance crash. When I wear that watch in certain circles it instantly elevates me to being considered legitimate.

Poor example but we had a sister company VP (but more a reports directly to the owner type roll) in the office from the UK and he keyed in on my watch instantly. Which led him to inquire my background and find out I hadn't always been a lowly IT Director, and he had a lot of conversations you wouldn't normally have with IT and trusted what I said way more than my boss the CFO (I know IT shouldn't be under a CFO), all because he saw my watch. Instant change for my standing in the company. It's lame but it's the world we live in.

A good watch can be a worthwhile investment. I recommend a non-trendy somewhat off name used one. Doesn't even need to be all that much. The one I got to keep is just a TAG and still is enough that they notice. Lawyers have treated me better. Heck even cops notice and treat me better. A good watch and a pair of good shoes (like some nice Italian boots) can make a world of difference in how interactions go. Lots of rich dudes wear Levi's so they aren't a tell you're a normie. But shoes and watch are. Just don't get something that gets dated quick because then you instantly have give them the ick. I've also had random women I've had drinks with straight up ask about it, that gives me the ick, even though I wore it specifically for them to notice, which is again ick. We're funny monkeys.
As I implied elsewhere, how does anyone manage to keep their house? I mean what if you forget to pay your mortgage?

How does anyone keep their job? What if you forget to go to/do your work?

How does anyone keep the electricity flowing/put food in the refrigerator/keep gas in the gas tank of their vehicle/maintain their internet access/etc./etc./etc.

If something is important to someone, they'll take whatever steps are necessary to keep/maintain it.

A calendar isn't a bad idea, but I assume GP has ways of making sure they do all those other things. What's different about a domain registration?
QNX is in a space with few competitors. FreeRTOS or ThreadX are designed to provide microcontrollers with scheduling and memory management functionality. They don't depend on fancy things like MMUs or provide frameworks for networking or file systems out for the box. The flipside is that you can compile them down to maybe 30kB of machine code.

QNX is designed for more powerful and featureful hardware to drive a software stack with true process isolation and generally provide the bells and whistles of general purpose OS on top of a hard realtime core. It can run complex GUIs without sacrificing its real time capabilities. Not many competitors live in that particular space.
oh I forgot the old wives tale was literally direct exposure rather than the season
That would be great if the "higher paid work" actually materialized in proportion to the shareholder value.
That logic also applies to flying versus driving, but few make the same objection when someone points out that flying is safer than driving.

And at the margins, cycling does substitute for driving, just as driving sometimes substitutes for flying. The different modes of transportation do have various advantages and disadvantages, but the fact remains that cycling is significantly more dangerous.

With all due respect… you’re wrong in the case of the vast majority of regions in North America that don’t have large city/municipal budgets and are mainly staffed by volunteers.

In my area SAR and even fire departments actively communicate with various amateur radio groups. While quite a few public services such as paramedics, police, fire, etc are using newer trunked/digital technology, they’re keeping analog VHF/UHF systems adjacent to amateur bands as a fall back. In the case of rural volunteer services they have nowhere near the expertise or hardware capability of an even half serious ham, and many in the scene are former military comms guys who love to help out.

It’s very rare that you’ll call on the 60 year old ham with his $25,000 station capable of using a rotating directional beam antenna to put out 1000 watts to relay a message to a team of emergency services who aren’t responding, but when you do and it saves a life you tend to see it as an advantage and not some guy waiting for an excuse to use his cool toy.

Edit: and I’m not sure where the FRS mentions are relevant since it’s pretty far from being anything hams or emergency services would go near. Type certified radios with intentionally regulation-nerfed antennas and max 2 watt output are the definition of toys, and as a result only reach their advertised range under perfect conditions on the salt flats.
What makes it "privacy-first".

It sounds like revenue-first.
Remember we're talking about the human race (and its ancestors) as a whole adopting the mutations that are successful.
Fox News has a tiny audience compared to network news (NBC, CBS, ABC) and global news such as BBC.
In that case, you’re just hanging on the specs, prover, compiler, and other dependencies. Things most developers can’t even begin to verify. That also assumes the hardware works which isn’t safe if talking about cosmic rays.

Empirical testing of “verified” software often found errors, too. High-assurance, security certification used to require formal methods, thorough testing of code, review of anrtifacts, and pen testing by independent team. We should do that today.

In this case, you’d do white box and black box testing of the WCETS of seL4.
Run:

$ cargo expand

And you’ll see the resulting code.

Rust is really several languages, ”vanilla” rust, declarative macros and proc macros. Each have a slightly different capability set and different dialect. You get used to working with each in turn over time.

Also unit tests is generally a good playground area to understand the impacts of modifying a macro.

That talk is great, but I remember some discussion later about Go actually NOT using this technique because of goroutine scheduling overhead and/or inefficient memory allocation patterns? The best discussion I could find is [1].

Another great talk about making efficient lexers and parsers is Andrew Kelley's "Practical Data Oriented Design" [2]. Summary: "it explains various strategies one can use to reduce memory footprint of programs while also making the program cache friendly which increase throughput".

I think it depends if I'm coming home from the gym late at night I might be less aware than when I'm my usual self. Especially if the roads are quiet. I've had two near calls in London - once an uber driver swung in front of me out of nowhere to pick up a passenger and it was wet so my bike couldn't stop in time and I went into the back of them. The other a car was parked in the cycle lane and they opened their door just as I was passing.

I am now even more aware and paranoid when cycling but my real solution has to optimise my routes for reduced stress rather than speed or distance - I'll happily take a longer route if I know it's much more chill

Mixing pedestrians with bikes runs into its own set of issues, at high enough density bikes simply can’t be ridden.

Really there’s no one solution that works at every scale. Bikes on sidewalks are also far less safe in deaths per mile than it seems.
What is Claude's new computer use API all about?
RT Linux is not the only alternative. There are now plenty of options for achieving hard real-time performance without relying on proprietary RTOS solutions:

Dedicated Real-Time Cores: Many SoCs include dedicated cores specifically for hard real-time tasks.
Microcontroller Companions: Pairing a microcontroller running a lightweight RTOS with a larger, general-purpose processor as a supervisor (You can use normal Linux).
FPGAs: Custom FPGA implementations can deliver deterministic timing where ultra-low latency or specialized processing is needed.

And ofc, RT Linux, that in my experience is suitable for over 80% of hard real-time applications (an estimation, based on experience as a former user—your mileage may vary).
Was this North America specific. I remember using sdk/dev tools for Symbian. I don't remember timelines, so maybe they changed after iPhone release.

I don't think you're missing anything.

Aider tends to maintain near "state of the art" including e.g. treesitter, and an actually refined (as in, iterated improvements over time) user experience.

Aider has been refining for 8000 commits since May of 2023. Codebuff "all started" circa Claude Sonnet 3.5.

The story of discovery (e.g. git patch) at best feels like a lack of researching the landscape since leaderboards for SOTA indicate whether a model performs better as whole code or diffs and Anthropic even cites Aider benchmarks, but cynically, the narrative feels a bit like looking through the things Aider has been doing differently/better, and putting them in an origin story so the feature list might sound less like the “sincerest form of flattery.”

Particularly concerning is the story talking about "seeing" users coding loops. Perhaps this is a figure of speech. As designed, Codebuff are in the middle of all users' code slinging, so perhaps it isn't.

Checking the Privacy Policy shows it's only about cookies and tracking, not about information privacy or IP protection of any kind.

Checking the Terms of Service says they own any code you post through it and can give it to others:

"However, by posting Content using Service you grant us the right and license to use, modify, publicly perform, publicly display, reproduce, and distribute such Content on and through Service. You agree that this license includes the right for us to make your Content available to other users of Service."

Meaning, the TOS is a for a public social media type service, not for an intellectual property service.

(Note that in VSCode "cline" can give Aider a run for its money.)
> There’s nothing stopping there from being a “HALT_FOR_EVERY_PROGRAM_EVER_EXCEPT_THAT_ONE_TRICK_PROGRAM”.

Doesn't work that way. If we have "HALT_FOR_...EXCEPT_THAT_ONE_TRICK_PROGRAM", then we can simply create "HALT_FOR_ACTUALLY_EVERY_PROGRAM" by:

if (is this that one trick program?) then
return THE CORRECT ANSWER FOR THAT TRICK QUESTION, HARD-CODED
else
answer = HALT_FOR_EVERY_PROGRAM_EVER_EXCEPT_THAT_ONE_TRICK_PROGRAM()
return answer

...but this is impossible, because then it would actually solve the full halting program, and we know it's impossible.

So the best you can have is "Solve the halting problem for a bunch of programs, but not for a bunch of others, but that's okay because will call the latter as 'trick programs.'"

And the problem is that you can't give a mathematically satisfying definition of what is a trick program, and whatever you try, you'll likely end up defining a lot of actually interesting programs as trick programs. So it's actually "Solve the halting problem for some programs, but not others." And that's not terribly interesting, because we already know it's possible.
It is all about NATO expansion into Ukraine and entirely avoidable. After hot debate, NATO declared that Ukraine would eventually become part of NATO in 2014. This led to Russia taking Crimea to send a message.

NATO funded the expansion and upgrade of Ukrainian army for the next 6 years, and then reaffirmed the Ukraine would become a member in 2020, leading to the boarder buildup. Russia demanded Biden to disavow membership or face invasion, and Biden refused.

From the Biden administration perspective it was a win win situation. Ukraine falls and NATO support grows. Russia fails, and Russia is weaker.

Phenylephrine worked great for clearing my mucus overproduction. Unfortunately, this has little to do with allergy relief, so I can see why many here hold that it's ineffective. I can imagine how frustrating it must be to have actual allergy issues and be prescribed something that doesn't solve the problem.
Facebook had a poorly maintained gateway into their chat system which spoke XMPP c2s (no federation). Was pretty much a hack to get people to stop asking for a Linux client until the web app became the only desktop option anyway.

At least Lenin was actually trying to give people peace, land and bread, and was arguably a real step up from the Czarist regime, until Stalin came along after Lenin's death. Trump's actions and words have made it abundantly clear he only cares about himself, not the American people.

Yeah, am getting a little worried about that.

I am kind of waiting for the other shoe to drop because the company has been nothing but amazing when it comes to their support. It has sprung a leak three times, about once every 18 months, and they've always replaced it with no additional payment.

I have a feeling next time it's going to involve a lot of cash being exchanged and I'll be faced with a choice.

The subscription thing is very much a bummer. I hadn't figured out why they weren't shaking me down for it until I also put together the grandfathered in thing. It is extremely distasteful to have a required (?) subscription on a product that is this expensive.

I don't entirely get how spending $2k - $5k on a bed system (not a mattress!) isn't enough. Just pure fuckin' greed if I am being honest.

I get they need to make money and their product isn't a monthly or yearly re-purchase but it's just short-sighted.

Like let's be real honest here: their product almost certainly doesn't cost anywhere near $5k in materials. The margins on their product are likely already completely stupid. My guess-timate would be maybe $500 in parts. It's literally just a pump that heats or cools water that is app-controlled... not exactly anything crazy. If you look at something like Withings sleep tracker, it's $130 so even the fancy pants sleep tracking stuff isn't some crazy tech even if we take Withings' margins as the actual price.
With all due respect, I don't think you know what you're talking about. =)

My personal experience as a Western tourist is that I could travel all around China for 2 months with no real issues. The provided itinerary was mostly a formality (and I didn't have to stick to it strictly). I managed to book hotels, trains, I even got a permit to go to Tibet (although a guide was required for that portion of the trip). It's true not all hotels can host foreigners, but in practice that's rarely a problem.

Although I personally wouldn't live there long term, China has actually a lot to offer as a tourist destination. It's very safe and there's lots of interesting history and beautiful nature to explore. It can obviously be challenging to move around without speaking the language, but some spirit of adventure goes a long way.
> do you mean it would float and could go down based on some metric(s)

Up only. Variable across geography. Setting New York’s livable wage for Alabama is a recipe for depopulating the latter.

Best federal government can probably do is state by state; so pick the Nth cheapest COl and set that as the minimum across the board in that state.

...then I would say you have been living a little bit of a charmed life. FFI in most languages has improved beyond all recognition in the last 15 years. When I look at FFI in rust I can't believe how ergonomic and clean it is compared to say PerlXS (which was the old way of doing FFI in perl).

> They said, "People who support Trump". They never said, "People who disagree with me". Those are your own words. And there's a great deal of difference between those two clauses.

They are closely related and I don't see as much difference as you do but okay, they are different clauses. I also believe saying someone is stupid for supporting Trump is wrong. You can disagree with a person's vote, try to point out why you think they are wrong, just ignore them but calling someone stupid has no benefit except maybe it makes the insulter feel good about their own superiority.

> lowers the quality of discourse here.

but calling me and over half the country stupid adds to the quality of discourse?

> "This is HN, not reddit" is just ... transparently pointless.

HN has clear guidelines about this [0] and people here generally adhere to them. By saying this is HN, I'm appealing to the higher standard espoused in these guidelines. Do you think those guidelines are pointless?

> I understand you want to shield yourself from criticism, by pretending you're merely in the "people who disagree with" camp

You understand incorrectly. If you look at my recent comment history, it's pretty easy to see I'm Republican and voted for Trump.

> Also, you ruin your own argument by proving your parent correct.

I don't understand your logic here. How did I prove the parent correct? Seems like just another personal insult on your part.

I look forward to your responses to the above.

> As for the hill thing, cyclists are not obligated to have rear facing lights in any state I'm aware of

In Florida, my state, they absolutely must:

- A bicycle operated between sunset and sunrise must be equipped with a lamp on the from exhibiting a white light visible from 500 feet to the front and both a red reflector and a lamp on the rear exhibiting a red light visible from 600 feet to the rear.

- A bicyclist who is not traveling at the same speed as other traffic must ride in the designated bike lane or as close as practicable to the right-hand curb or edge of the roadway.

See here:

https://www.flhsmv.gov/safety-center/driving-safety/bicycle-...

Edit also:

At least 24 states require bike lights during certain times of day or in limited visibility conditions, including:
Arizona, California, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, and Maine.
Name/reputation still means a lot to some people, as does not learning yet another OS. Not everyone cares if something is FOSS or not. Different people have different leaning when it comes to this stuff, and that shouldn't be surprising.

When you speed, use your phone when driving or ignore basic safety rules then you can't really say you don't want to hit someone or injure someone.

I mean you can say that but it's as believable as shooting your rifle without looking in general direction of a crowd of people and then saying you really didn't mean to shoot anyone.
Why is it always about banning things? Just make the self-driving experience good and most people will choose it voluntarily. No need to ban things. Almost everyone would rather take a nap or read a book than sit in traffic or stare at the highway.
