My thinking was that this would be up to the compiler, where you’d have to specify the target CPU model for it to take advantage of the feature. Similarly, byte code VM could use this with runtime detection of the CPU properties.

This would work best in a high level language where the specific bit layout of struct types is not defined (by default). Rust is one such language, but this would also work with .NET and JVM languages.

One approach is that integers are represented as A < ( x < S + O ) < B. This would allow ranges, powers of two, “NonZero”, offsets, and the like the be represented in the lowest levels of the type system. Additionally, the high level type system could also keep an additional list of specific numbers that are excluded.

Pointer types could be internally represented as ordinary integers, or aligned non-null pointers on some architectures would be “0 < x << 3”.

This could have no effect on the emitted code, but the compiler would be free to utilise the spare low bits or the non-zero value if it chose to do so. Rust does this in a few hard-coded scenarios, but a more complete type model would allow more flexibility. I.e.: it could pack the enum discriminator and the value in there if the enum has only pointer types as values.

Conversely, the high level language can use this for type checks to give better error messages.
> I also have Tailscale set up but if I remember correctly Tailscale requires all devices participating in its VPN to install its software, which is too much.

This isn't true. You can use Tailscale "Subnet Routers" to access devices within a network without the Tailscale software installed. You still need one device to act as SR, but that would be a requirement for leveraging any traditional VPN as well.

This seems to be the study (gated): https://psycnet.apa.org/buy/2025-40514-001

Can somebody see if they asked the same students (between 9 and 14, an age range where behavior changes quite a bit)?

> The goal of the current work was to understand how the COVID-19 pandemic school shutdowns may have impacted classroom incivility in children and adolescents.

> Study 1 compared prepandemic (Fall 2019) to postpandemic school shutdown (Fall 2022) rates of classroom incivility in a sample of 308 adolescents (49.7% boys; 61.0% White) between the ages of 9 and 14 (M = 12.06; SD = 1.38). Classroom incivility was significantly higher postpandemic shutdowns, while bullying, emotional problems, and friendships remained stable.

> In Study 2, we surveyed 101 primary educators (95% females; 88.1% White). Findings suggested that young students lacked social skills and knowledge of classroom expectations, contributing to increased classroom incivility. Our results highlight the need to monitor ongoing levels of classroom incivility.
It's not very likely.

USC students just broke the non-government, non-corporate rocket launch altitude record, reaching 143.25km[1]. But that is still a long way from the ~500km that Starlink operates at.

On top of that the person would have to develop a guidance system and payload capable of targeting and sufficiently damaging one of these satellites - not an easy feat.

Finally, it seems unlikely that a single hit would cause a chain reaction. There aren't that many satellites that are part of Starlink. Imagine 6000 cars spread over the surface of the Earth. Except that they're even more sparse than that because many of them are at different altitudes.

Additionally, SpaceX has already had to deal with the result of the debris field from the Russian Cosmos satellite that was destroyed by a Russian anti-satellite missile.[2]

Starlink has a lot of protection compared to other constellations since the satellites occupy such low orbits that most debris spontaneously deorbits in 5-10 years.

NordVPN meshnet is just like that.
This was discussed elsewhere in the comments:

> This can be solved with CSS. Extend the background blur all the way through the element and then use CSS masks to cut out the actual shape you want.

> With this, you can remove the border (or inset box shadow), and the edge of the glass will look much, much more real

I tried this and it works! One unfortunate impact is a loss in simplicity. In the example on the page you can apply the non-JavaScript version to pretty much any element and get a nice glass effect with `border-radius` and such still functioning as expected.

Using `clip-path` I'm able to consider background pixels more correctly but it looks like I'd need an extra div and/or some sizing tricks to get everything working exactly as expected.

I'll keep noodling on this and may add an update to the page if a simple solution comes to mind.

>Oftentimes both the left- and right-handed versions of, for example, an amino acid, were found in equal amounts—exactly what might be expected. But in many cases, one or more organic molecule was found with an excess of one hand, sometimes a very large excess.

Ask HN: Is Gmail's unsubscribe feature safe?
Got a spam email today. It had an unsubscribe link pointing to a random Azure blob. I click "Mark as Spam" and it offers me to unsubscribe instead?

This was worring as I thought ... well the unsubscribe is a dangerous link so how will it do it.

Turns out it uses a header like X-Unsubscribe-Web. I checked what that was set to, and in this spam it was a well known online newspaper plus a bogus query string. So they probably put a plausible link (i.e. not a black list) to fool Google.

But in general X-Unsubscribe-Web could be set to something malicious, right?

And why is Google even discouraging me from reporting spam (or in this case... phishing).

Edit: I see there is now a report Phishing and that button treats me like an adult :-)

As far as sustainability goes I'm hoping for a better business model than "accept funds from Blockchain Capital" [0], some return on investment in mirroring the firehouse. I can muse, a Discord alternative where some users pay to host longer videos (current limit is 60sec [1]) or Patreon where a relay takes a cut in exchange for managing access/decryption keys, or Bandcamp or some other kind of social marketplace - as it is theres no reason I couldn't do this, it is an open platform after all.

You left out the part where Haiti was destabilized and crushed by colonial debt. And I don’t think that lack of fish is what’s keeping the tourists away. But hey, weren’t we talking about Denmark ?
How much can Boeing do this though? My understanding is in the past they used moving some of their production to a country as leverage to win contracts. They are a company that moved their headquarters to DC because management treats the product as secondary as if they make widgets. Until they reverse that they aren't moving in the right direction.
Even at my peak of training for a 50 mile ultra marathon last year my posture was kind of crappy by conventional measures. That being said, I can run 50 miles without stopping just fine and I have never sustained a serious injury during my 15+ years as a runner.
I don't know about PD, but I found that native clients will accept RAs over WireGuard just fine. I only have a /64 at the moment unfortunately, so I can't really use this mechanism at the moment, but I did set up a ULA by giving radvd the following config:

interface wg-server
{
AdvDefaultLifetime 0;
AdvSendAdvert on;
prefix fdf4:a694:0e43:c0de::/64 {
AdvOnLink on;
AdvAutonomous on;
};
};

I use the equivalent of fdf4:a694:0e43::/48 across all interfaces to make the ULA routable without too much effort.

I don't see why you wouldn't be able to set up a normal IPv6 SLAAC config, assuming you have the address space to advertise a full /64 on the interface.

Nice catch.

Same with the BMWs I've owned (2009 to 2019 MYs). Is cost of ownership (maintenance & tires) cheap? Not really. Do they have a lot of mechanical issues? Not really. Does it feel like a rock solid, purpose built machine that is enjoyable to drive with a great infotainment system? YES.

I will say the little electrical gremlins can be annoying and pricey to fix, but I'm okay with it. I've owned Mazdas too which were 80% as great and don't have those problems, but with a little bit less "solidity".
I also used eza to replace the tree command with the --tree flag.
You can grab JSON data of all ISO recognized countries and their address formats on GitHub (apologies, I forget the repo name. IIRC there is more than one).

I don't know if it's 100% accurate, but it's not very hard to implement it as part of an address entry form. I think the main issue is that most developers don't know it exists,
I did this in the product where I work. We operate globally so having separate first and last name fields was making less sense. So I merged them into a singular full name field.

The first and only people to complain about that change were our product marketing team, because now they couldn’t “personalize” emails like `Hi <firstname>,`. I had the hardest time convincing them that while the concept of first and last names are common in the west, it is not a universal concept.

So as a compromise, we added a “Preferred Name” field where users can enter their first name or whatever name they prefer to be called. Still better than separate first and last name fields.

The non-joke answer for Europe is extened Latin, dashes, spaces and apostrophe sign, separated into two (or three) distinct ordered fields. Just because it's written in a different script originally, doesn't mean it will printed only with that on your id in the country of residence or travel document issued at home. My name isn't written in Latin characters and it's fine. I know you can't even try to pronounce them, so I have it spelled out in above mentioned Latin script.
> His empire is divided into so many corporate entities, but they all cross-pollinate and are clearly under his direct control for the most part.

My understanding is that, given Tesla is a public company, any collaboration between Tesla and other Musk companies needs to be approved by the board (or maybe by other C-suite executives) without Musk in the room. Musk can come up with the idea for a collaboration, but then the decision that it is in the best interests of Tesla and all its shareholders to proceed with the collaboration needs to be made independently of him.

By contrast, I don't think the rules apply as strictly to his other companies since they are privately held. The law cares a lot more about protecting shareholder rights in public companies than in private ones.
I must be old or I have a different idea of minimal. A set of squats at ~200 pounds is entirely doable in time, yes, but my guess is it would be non-trivial for much of the adult population. Even when we were doing conditioning in high school I don't recall that a significant fraction of the class was breaking much over 225 or so.
> I personally know there is asian-american bias (not just asian-american…) in admissions at least one elite school via one of my best friends who works in admissions office.

Oh, interesting.

What is the specific bias they claim exists?

Fwiw, they did a fully body cavity search on Harvard admissions, and the best that they could come up with was describing an applicant (accurately) using race-based shorthand — something like “standard Asian reach applicant”, which (iirc) meant something like high grades, high standardized test scores… and almost nothing else. This is a complete nothing burger.

Note that this stereotype exists for a reason. It’s not exclusive to Asians, but it’s much more common with Asian applicants than other races.

Edited to add:

> that’s not much of an offer. one can easily always find (especially when specifically looking for it to prove a point) whatever it is they are looking for :)

Almost every time I’ve done this face-to-face, it wasn’t some subtle oversight — it was a glaring omission or weakness in the application.

The times that it wasn’t obvious, the person got into an elite school, just didn’t get into their elite school of choice, and that’s a different issue.
That's one aspect I prefer in playing with TempleOS over Linux. The rest of the command line is a bit of a pain, with no history, C-as-a-shell, etc.
Sure, there's some truth to that, but shoe bombs, underpants bombs and the two liquids bombs have never been tried again. If they did, they would set off their shoes and underpants in the "cattle maze", where there are several planesfull of people, and nobody has been ID'ed, or x-rayed or swabbed.

There's nothing magical about setting off a bomb on a plane as far as terrorizing a populace goes. Bombs in the mazes before "security" would be effective, as we learned at the Boston Marathon.

You can trivially remove it e.g. `disableHugoGeneratorInject = true` in `config.toml`.
Yeah, that's the biggest pain point I think. Syncing configs once changes are made (new peers, new access rules, pre shared key rotation etc).

It's one of the reasons I'm working on wirehub[0], as a way to distribute configs to both end users (share a link) and machines (have a script to periodically pull from wirehub).

Not the perfect solution, but one that does not require additional clients/agents/software to be installed.

You can’t see Starlink satellites in the night sky except shortly after sunset or before sunrise when they are still in daylight and you aren’t. They don’t produce visible light on their own.

The night sky will be exactly the same otherwise so you’re doing a lot of handwringing over nothing.

Real astronomers are complaining about many other things. Streaking in long exposures and noise in other spectrums. But that’s not relevant to anyone looking at the sky with the naked eye or an amateur telescope.
The fact that it's pronounced as Вуч and not Лодж still triggers me.
I am. Most of our road costs are for suburban car commuters and for subsidized car storage. If it was business usage and transit we’d need far fewer lanes, especially since businesses would use rail transportation more if the roads weren’t so heavily subsidized.

My question is how the laser backhaul works. If the satellites are constantly moving how do they adjust since lasers require line of sight?
With an inReach I have the option of periodically tracking my position and uploading that to a site my loved ones can check. Even whilst doing this I can leave the device on for a multi-day trip without worrying about battery drain.

There are some carve outs for including you in a picture of something else, but there is, at least, social backpressure to swinging a camera around.
I grew up before internet really and there were always kids that had absolutely no problem with physical violence, you'd get stones thrown at you(good scenario) or punched or kicked(bad scenario) if you did something they did't like. But sure, they didn't swear as much I guess? One time I came back with a bloody nose because I got punched in the face for walking in the wrong place and some kid didn't like it, and my dad's response was "well, did you hit him back? why not?"

Don't get me wrong - I do actually think that kids nowadays are rude. They have no respect for teachers, parents, elders or anyone really. But I'm also 100% sure that my dad used to think the same thing, and his dad before him too.
If you have zero signal, modern iPhone allows you to connect to satellite and text using iMessage. I just used it this week multiple times during massive Pacific Northwest blackout.

Works surprisingly well. You have to be outside and hold iPhone in the specifics position pointed at satellite, it tells you where to turn iPhone to to get signal.
My father was fairly tall, and had a slouch from always ducking (we lived in Africa, and he towered over most people, and was always banging his head).

My mother was always nagging me to "sit up straight."

These days, I have fairly good posture. Part of it, is because I take a 5K brisk walk, every morning, and that helps me to stay straight. Also, I am not that tall, so I don't need to keep ducking.

I also use a standing desk, and like to stand straight for it.
Yep, definitely beyond sky-high prices :)
Why is innovation and sharing mutually exclusive?
Well, first off there is no such thing as Claude as there are multiple models that you can select from. You did not list which model you were using. In my opinion the Claude 3.5 Sonnet model is spectacular. It’s the best model yet for coding both on leaderboard and empirically in projects I’ve had it help me with.

This topic is discussed in recent Lex Fridman interview with with CEO of Anthropic where he very clearly walks through how these claims of it being dumber or not true. It’s a great interview and after listening to it I’m even more bullish on Anthropic.

There was a small degradation in performance that they posted an alert at the top of the page 2 nights ago. It didn’t affect the quality of the responses I got but it didn’t cause somewhat of a slowdown in response speed.
Show HN: Notifico – Open-Source notification server with Email & Slack support
Hello, HN! I have built an open source notification server, that supports Email, SMS (SMPP), Slack, Telegram, WhatsApp Business.

It is called Notifico.

I have worked in a bunch of tech companies, and in each of them there was a half-baked, in-house built notification server for sending emails and other notifications. So, I've collected the requirements, processed them and written the implementation in Rust!

The idea is simple: You send event_id and context (JSON object), and
It loads the template, renders it with variables from the context, sends it to the recipient.

Features:

- No-code configuration. No knowledge of JS or other language is required.

- The templates can be edited without the need of backend developers.

- HA configuration with AMQP 1.0 support (e.g., RabbitMQ). Every component scales horizontally.

- Powerful templating language (it uses minijinja internally: https://github.com/mitsuhiko/minijinja)

- List-Unsubscribe support

- Admin interface for managing Events, Templates, and Pipelines.

Roadmap:

- Discord support

- Mattermost support

- Bounce email handling

- User-facing API for managing subscriptions

- Message view tracking and statistics.

- Tracking pixels

- Notification center implementation for Web and Mobile.

- Auto-retry for failed messages

- Template and Pipeline versioning

This isn't just an Elon problem, many people treat children as vanity projects to fuel their own narcissism. That's not what children are for. Give him a proper name. (and then proceed to enter "X Æ A-12" into your database, it's just text...)
Ok, how about the same with a DAT drive?

If you connect an SGI DAT drive to an IRIX machine, you can save the tracks in the same way. And they get saved in the faster, native DAT sample rate. 48Khz, I believe.

30% of the US can’t drive, whether because of disability, age, financial hardship, immigration status, or any number of other reasons. Why don't you hold the current system of "motorized transport" to the same impossible standard of solving all transportation needs as you expect of bikes?
I think so, it was bad enough for me to cancel my subscription.
