If your primary use case is displaying individual recipes that makes good sense. Less-so if you need reliable calculations at a larger scale. For example, if I was making planning software for a catering company, they’d want to know how many cases of onions they need this week for the 9 events with different menus. I don’t trust LLMs for that level of accounting yet. Hopefully soon!

(defmacro factorial (n)
(labels ((fact (m)
(if (= m 0)
1
(* m (fact (1- m))))))
`,(fact n)))

The `, has no use here and can be removed. Here the backquote and the evaluation just returns the computed value.

Thus, this is okay:

(defmacro factorial (n)
(labels ((fact (m)
(if (= m 0)
1
(* m (fact (1- m))))))
(fact n)))

LABELS defines local recursive functions. The macro returns the result of calling FACT, which is a number and which is a valid form in Common Lisp. A number evaluates to itself.

The tool analyzes mortgage loan estimates and closing disclosures to find every potential place a buyer might be overpaying, every negotiable fee, and show the buyer a comprehensive AI analysis so they don't get screwed over and can have peace of mind on buying their home.

When I was closing on a house, I called a few friends to help review my mortgage, and we found lots of mistakes. For example, I was getting charged transfer tax, which didn’t make sense for Florida where the seller typically pays that. The deeper I dug, the more I realized how much gray area there is with these documents - what’s negotiable, what’s inflated, what's normal in the property's jurisdiction, and what’s just non-competitive but seems ok since there's a lot of simplified complexity that goes into mortgages and what's an extra 1-3% on a mortgage that's "just going to be refinanced in 6 months" when interest rates go down.
This feels like an argument that stuffing cash under your mattress is better than keeping it in a bank. The number one cause of data loss - by far - is technical incompetence. 99.9% of users do not have the expertise to spin up an AWS instance and maintain it.

> if more people thought like you we would have lost democracy long ago

The United States has always been a plutocracy, and the plutocrats who wrote the Constitution were explicitly suspicious of direct democracy, intentionally adding a number of measures to obstruct it. The most recent election was largely a contest between competing factions of billionaires, and guess what, a billionaire won.

It's actually so-called "strategic" voting, choosing the lesser of two evils, that perpetuates the evils of our plutocracy.
Yeah, they did work the italicized parts at the time .. with a sketchy evidence chain chasing back to the emails of a drug addict that was pretty much it for the day for journalists .. the new day saw plenty more stories with actual meat on the bone.

That's an example of a story not going anywhere, it's commonplace.

What is less common is partisan hacks circling back like a dog to its own vomit and spending months of news cycles pumping up a cardboard outline as a real live bit of news.
X is owned by an opinionated rich guy, completely entangled in government (even before the Trump win.) There's nothing ideal about a situation where he could be flipping the switch right now to turn it back like it once was, or even worse. He doesn't even have to care, all he has to do is lie back and let it happen. It's the path of least resistance.

I firmly believe his posture with twitter has been because 1) it's a fun place for him and it was obviously a money losing purchase* so he might as well have that fun, and 2) his level of censorship is something that he can use to negotiate with government over contracts or regulation.

He might even really believe in free speech, but a conceptual belief in free speech doesn't mean he'll feel obligated to personally provide it if he can make a dollar denying it. His speech will remain free no matter what happens, he's a rich guy.

Show HN: A Storage Cleaner to clean social media clutter. Free Lifetime
Hi,

My name is Kevin, I’m a solo indie developer at Lilucat, where I handle everything on my own, from design to the final product. Despite this, I always strive to prioritize the user experience and put users first, no matter what.

I’d like to share my latest project with you, "Storage Cleaner", which I’ve been working on for the past five months. I’m really proud of the results, and early user reviews indicate that people are enjoying the app. To celebrate the release, I’m offering a Free Forever deal for early users, with a free lifetime offer available until December 6th.

As the name suggests, Storage Cleaner helps users clean unnecessary photos, videos, and files from their phones. What sets my app apart from others on the App Store is its unique ability to clean social media clutter, something I haven’t seen offered anywhere else.

I’d love for you to give my app a try and take advantage of the Free Forever offer.
No, it's more like dropping a note card in a "Tips" drop box in the station lobby. It's literally an officially monitored communication channel that is explicitly authorized.

If anything, the transparency of a social media post is much better than, say, private emails that can be buried and ignored.
Dedicated Ice Makers can be quite good and fast at what they do too.
Nah LLMs are nothing like really smart junior developers.

Really smart junior developers actually have a shot at learning better and moving on from this stage.
Hmmm... I really wonder what the said tyrants did when they got into power? Oh that's right they imposed heavy restrictions on speech and all forms of media. And it's not like there was free speech before them, the Weimar republic tried banning them as well. It's almost like challenging ideas and defeating them on an intellectual level is far better than trying to supress them.
This type of solution could be pretty great if you don't drive your car everyday.

Generous of the designer to release it all for free! Directly downloadable from their site:

One of my professors when I was an anesthesiology resident was ex-Navy. He had been in the submarine service, and not as just a general medical officer. As an anesthesiologist. You can imagine the kind of missions a submarine with an anesthesiologist on board might be sent on. There might even be a surgeon on board...

Anyway, he was dive-rated. Closed-circuit breathing is the basis of anesthesia machines and has been for ages (at least 60 years). So for us, a closed-circuit system isn't new - it's something we do every day at work. You just have to account for depth. I'd be shocked if he hadn't done it.
So the Tesla Model Y has a lower fatal accident rate than sports cars, but they report it as Tesla overall having the highest fatal accident rate? Perhaps that's because _all_ the cars they make are stupid fast and heavy, and they don't offer cars where it's far harder to get into those situations?
> I loathe it

They are planning to appoint a nutjob who has publicly that he admitted cutting off the heads of whale carcasses with a chainsaw and dumping dead bears in the Central Park for "fun". Presumably he is also consuming those rotting animals carcasses that he keeps finding somehow (how else do you get brain worms?) to be the new US health secretary.

Seriously... what else do you need to know?

> The whole 'trad wife' meme fed into this dream of coming home to a hot meal, a adoring wife, and obedient children. That's just not something that is going to happen anymore and only men are having a problem with it.

As opposed to young women, who expect men to earn more than them, adore them, and to do all that while caring for kids? Part of the problem here is that young men's desires are constantly castigated as bad. In particular, coming home to an adoring spouse is something both sexes ought to want, and it should never be castigated as bad for a young man to want a wife who adores him.

Well, either way it doesn't really matter. Yes young men today will be sad, but ultimately, this is a self-correcting problem. The women that do this are not going to be represented in the next generation. Their choice of course. It's a free country.
I've experienced rapid warming of hands when handling snow without gloves. Maybe it's the same mechanism?

Spatial memory safety is a reasonably common term in the security / PL field. You can see examples of it being used at least as far back as 2009: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C33&q=spa...

It's in contrast to temporal memory safety, which deals with object lifetimes (use after free, for example).

Here Google is probably also referencing a 2022 post of theirs with a very similar title, dealing with temporal safety: https://security.googleblog.com/2022/05/retrofitting-tempora...

The terms are also in Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_safety#Classification_o...

You are aware that no one in this thread has called anyone deplorable, irredeemable, garbage, a redneck, a hillbilly, or a bible thumper, right?

Your aggrievement and imagined slights is precisely how people like Trump and Musk manipulate you. And apparently the manipulation works really well.

Trump is not your retribution. Trump doesn't care about America. Trump doesn't care about Americans. Trump only cares about himself.

>I love the way “take a break” is presented as an available option. I guarantee that for many caregivers it’s absolutely not.

I had the same first reaction - why didn't I think of just taking a break or hiring help? It was right in front of me!

But the article does lead with reminding people to simply ask friends or family for help and that is both easy to forget about and hard to do it even when you remember.
With no other context, weird.

Misleading/clickbait “journalism”:

* The FARS data is “normalized” by unpublished internal iSeeCars estimates of miles driven; the underlying “study” is a marketing blog post for their company.

* FARS data distinguishes between driver and occupant fatalities - the “study” looks only at occupant fatalities, which is not what most people would reasonably expect given the headline.

* One might reasonably suspect Tesla’s long history of touting 5-star safety ratings and advanced safety tech could lead to passengers being lulled into a false sense of security, and being less likely to use seatbelts.

Driver fatalities and seatbelt use are right there in the FARS data - one wonders why these weren’t considered and incorporated in the “study”.

Anyhow, a note to the HN user: don’t upvote FUD-sowing headlines based on blog posts about unscientific “studies” that are really just submarine PR; they carry none of the credibility of the underlying studies, and are a disservice to the scientists and public servants who rigorously and faithfully collect and analyze this data.

HN used to be better than this…
That's more a factor of weight distribution rather than weight itself.

EVs carry their weight lower to the ground. SUVs and pickup trucks are more top heavy. Passenger cars have a higher probability to rollover, but not that much greater than an EV.
While alimony is not guaranteed, Elizabeth Warren shows in her book 'The Dual Income Trap' that you can be pretty much assured the government will get all that is possible from the husband. This is more true today than ever.

But you're not totally wrong. Part of the problem is that we disincentivize staying home. For example, you don't get to contribute to a 401k if you don't work but are at home with kids. You also don't get to qualify for social security.

In my opinion, if a woman or man stays home (but let's be honest... it's mostly women), then she should qualify for significant tax breaks on retirement accounts (if not a funded government account) and also the quarters she spends caring for kids should count for social security at the working spouse's wage or a government-mandated minimum.

> See the responses to any post about dating sites and the fury that women get more matches than men.

This is hardly a new thing. Literally the entire history of humankind is explained by men being highly desirous of basically any women and women desiring only a certain subset of men. 'Incel's have a long history.
Hacker News' eventual death started the moment it joined the hysteria over the Lab Leak Theory. Since then it has trended more and more to be like Reddit, with ideological tribal concerns occupying an increasingly large mindshare. This drives away people who want to have earnest conversations in good faith, giving even more power to the ideologues. It will be a long death spiral but you can see it happening day by day.
Cars have crumple zones which a motorbike does not.

In general, a macro produces code at compile time, doesn't matter in which form it ends up in the binary, as long as the observable side effects are the same.

>Currently people can set up their own PDSs, which will host both their identity’s signing keys and their content on Bluesky. Setting this up requires a fair amount of server-level knowledge, but it’s relatively cheap (maybe $15/month USD) and lets people control their own data

Man, really? Domains tend to be around that much for a year.

I guess it's cheap if you're doing this for marketing purposes, but given that this was marketed towards "developers", I thought there'd be more homespun method to get this up.

But aside from that, I don't quite understand the counterargument of Bluesky not being federated/decentralized for custom domains outside of "Bluesky handles DM
's" (to paraphrase). I'm sure most users will more or less choose the centralized approach of Bluesky handling everything, but the fact that you can decentralize off is very valuable (even if it's a different service than ActivityPub)

>The whole Twitter mess has taught me not to attach myself too closely with these things anymore. I hung on far too long to Twitter while it made me feel terrible. My goal going forward is to post more to my own site and aggregate to any social channel I currently care about.

indeed. Don't put your eggs all in someone else's basket. If you're selling, always try to get people on an email list (the only popular standard of federation as of now) so when that basket is taken that your devout followers can keep in touch. Ideally this decentralization of Bluesky (if you take the time/money to set it up) should let you take most of your ball home, but it may not be as easy to just "move it somewhere else". Mastodon's ideals vs. reality certainly show this.

This sort of absolutism is the same kind of garbage middle-school level philosophy that Elon Musk peddles, and it doesn't work in practice. For example, holocaust denialism, or in the most recent example, Sandy Hook massacre denialism isn't an opposing viewpoint worth hosting on a private platform. The best course of action is to simply eradicate it. Infowars being shutdown is a great example of a good thing happening.
Twitter is a place where they can reach some people. Using it was appropriate. Using it exclusively was not.
Damn, you really got me scared there for a second. Just re-checked by Debian 12 systems on AWS, I don't have any files residing in *.d directories. So I confirm that if you used the official AWS Debian image, you wouldn't get it.

And if you downloaded and installed the authentic Debian 12 image from debian.org, you don't get it either. Must be a Ubuntu thingy.
Without being overly condescending, you do realise that most of the things that have been done throughout history, along with many we still do, are the result of cultural practice and have no evidence base whatsoever?

Whilst 1956 seems to be a fairly late date to stop what would seem in the surface to be a counter intuitive practice, 80 years earlier blood letting was still in vogue

It also means they will become increasingly radicalized in their echo chamber.

It's telling that people who are leaving X are doing so not because they are being censored, but because their political opponents are no longer being censored.
For me, my reluctance to use the phone is that 90% of the phone calls I get are spams/scams or to put it most kindly, unsolicited. I have just developed a visceral dislike for answering phone calls. My phone is set only to ring if you're in my contacts list. Everone else goes to voicemail (I guess -- I never set it up and I never check it).

When I was young we had a landline at home and yes there were some telemarketing calls but they were not the majority. Most calls were from friends or family or legitimate other purposes. That's not how it is today, at least in my experience.

Part of it is that anything other than a local call used to cost money. So there was a financial disincentive to robo-call thousands of people hoping that you'd find one rube.

Credentialing. I frequently find myself reading Tweets from people I’ve never heard of because someone who I know to be an expert in a particular topic has liked or retweeted them. This kind of signaling helps surface more obscure content and make it available to people who wouldn’t have found it on their own. This is a huge deal.
