You can hope, but even then processor microcode is likely closed source.

And you cannot really confirm the above use case very well. What if it is so sophisticated that it knows when it is being monitored, or it is so random or well hidden, that it might take years to spot.
Now multiply it by 5 in terms of time if you want your smart devices to not constantly phone home and spy on you.

The ubiquitous private “anonymous” surveillance built into everything is the main dystopia here. People lack the imagination to see how it will inevitably be misused.
Show HN: GPT-Like Store but for Model Context Protocol Servers
I noticed finding MCP servers is a bit of a struggle since there is nothing like the GPT store for these servers so I made a website to view, search, and for people to share servers.
We don’t, or at least not everyone agrees we do. Some of us think that we only have an institution that administers peace and order, and believe that pursuing the good is a private, voluntary concern.

> Saying it doesn't resemble martial law, and then immediately listing freedoms that were abolished, is a contradiction

Your freedom of movement is always restricted around e.g. U.S. military installations. That isn't a contradition, it's an abridgement.

> what we lost was "freedom of due process". Everyone was jailed, just in their own homes

Not what jail means. Not what due process means. Plenty of people broke the restrictions, some might have gotten ticketed. For those who faced jail time, they had access to courts. That is due process. You don't get any of that under martial law.
A New Direction: Short Term and Long Term Goals [PureDarwin]
I would say it's most people. Just look at how many genuine comments (of course I've seen non-genuine comments as well) getting downvoted here. There are far too many people who deem it unacceptable to state certain opinions and I wouldn't be surprised if people on both sides of the political spectrum read this and confidently presume it's the opinions on the other side that are at fault.
> Using the army instead of the police to do the enforcement seems like a relatively small step.

The practical and political differences between a state of emergency and martial law is massive. Not to mention, the lockdowns were driven by a global health crisis, not a political struggle. They're not even close to similar.
Given the economics involved (likely a fixed cost per query), I think it makes business sense to try to get few customers to pay a lot to get a lot, much more so than having many customers that pay a little and get results on par Google's free offering.

High end "boutique" search offering a refined search experience (at high computational cost) is a niche Google search can't compete with, since they're offering their search for free, and they'd take massive losses if they drastically increased the amount of compute per query.
Even if it only impacted the price shown in store, it would be a huge improvement.

I learned about this as a young child and, ever since, it's been one of my main sources of thin sheet stock. Can recommend.

The only possible issue is that if the can contained something acidic (soda, fruit juice, etc.), then the can is lined with plastic. Sometimes this matters.
I agree with all that.

But smartphone cameras are not progress on all fronts.
They are small and seem to be optimized to take pictures that look impressive.

I sometimes have a slideshow with family pictures running on a large monitor.
Sometimes I stop and look at a picture that somehow just look much nicer that the rest when you spend some time looking at it. If I then check the metadata, it almost always turns out to be one of few pictures I took with my old DSLR camera or a newer compact camera.

Of course those cameras are much bigger and has bigger lenses and should be able to make better pictures. But the best camera is the one you brought with you. Which is why so few of the pictures are made with a smartphone.

But it seems to me that all the computational power of smartphones does not quite compensate for the smaller optics. Or that they are trying too hard to make the pictures look spectacular.
I think that's a bit of an oversimplification. A lot of people are well meaning.
So much of this article, and the comments below, can be summarized by one of Rich Hickey's aphorisms:

They've worked a fair bit at it already and if they intend to keep maintaining it indefinitely without possibility for further sales it could be nice to actually get money for it at this point. Also, I'm not sure what they might be obligated to pass to the copyright holder per copy? Maybe it's not a proportion of the sales price in this case?
As much as I resonate with your sentiment, it's the incentives that investors have that cause them to behave this way, not an inherent belief in scale at all costs.

Keep in mind, YC is very early stage. Asking them to pick only winners based on an application and short interview process would be a fool's errand. I believe their acceptance rates tend to be around 2%, so it's not like they aren't being selective up front—it just takes time to really get signal on who is executing and finding traction. Startup investment is high risk and justified by the outliers, so they have every incentive to find them early, it only makes sense that they would give more support to their winners as they emerge.
Not really. Different cameras, both old and new, draw differently. It's not a question of "good" or "bad". Sometimes I want a nice, sharp image, sometimes I want the scratchy, somewhat random image I get from a Holga.

You pick the tool that gives the artistic effect you WANT.
I've been a long time 1P fan. The migration to electron has been an unmitigated disaster. Can't blame it all on electron, but the associated redesign has also been super annoying.
And you will pay more. Local gas station beats Costco by $0.10 a gallon if you pay cash. Which I happily do.
Seemingly nothing to do with Bitcoin either :-)
A few people have mentioned Organic Maps, but they have no social aspects, right? Like the reviews, photos, maybe even traffic? That's been a super useful part of Google Maps for me too.
A few years ago I accompanied a friend to a talk by an academic historian, for other academic historians, about the period between the world wars. The presenter made a joke like "it's hard to say when precisely world war 2 broke out, but we know world war 3 began in 1914."

It took me a minute to get it but the audience responded very well! There was professionally appropriate chortling but a lot of nodding also.
Depends on the year, it changes every decade or so, sometimes sooner.

And often it's the very people and organizations supported and lauded as allies and/or freedom fighters and lauded a few years earlier (like Shaddam or the Taliban).

China Hits Back at U.S. Chip Controls with Limits on Key Raw Materials
I worked as a developer on the market for exactly such a system. It was created by a large slot machine manufacturing company in one of their mobile game studios. Later, it was acquired by a company which has since pivoted to blockchain compliance.

Why is this relevant? Because the compliance aspect of this is a total nightmare and you're sure to run into numerous issues in the USA, at the very least. You can take money for almost anything and that's easy to setup. But when you pay out money to people, you've created a financial transaction with endless amounts of legal requirements and red tape.

You'll also have the studios against you for two reasons. Some won't want any outside trading of their digital assets and may even consider it a TOS violation. Others won't want to pay you a cut to run such a service because the profits are miniscule and there's not enough to go around.

Trading game assets is a business about taking a commission on every sale. You'd have to convince studios that there was a business to be had there, when there really isn't. The only exception to this is gambling where you might pay out more than someone paid in. Gambling and NFTs attract whales that allow platform providers to extract high commissions, but regular players and trades won't sustain such a system. The fact that these setups always devolve into gambling is why you're getting associated with NFTs.

What is that? Even your custom android build will have some binary blobs for your SoC.

We are just doomed.
We ARE in WW3's prologue if not in the war itself, even if nothing major kicks off right now. The world's seeing this major power shuffle - US losing its grip while China keeps gaining ground. Both the US and Russia are trying to tear down the international system the US built after WWII, while China and Europe are holding onto it like a life raft. Even if today's tensions fade, this fundamental clash isn't going anywhere. We have a major war in Europe right now.

A reminder: World War II had different start dates for different nations - July 7, 1937 for Japan (invasion of China), September 1, 1939 for Europe (German invasion of Poland), and June 22, 1941 for Russia (Operation Barbarossa).
Similarly, World War III may mark different start dates - for Ukraine, it will be 2022.
> references you provided are prescribing information and to other drugs which actually are anti-retroviral

The first reference is for literally this drug.

> did not provide any reference showing that cells that are actually infected but inhibited from producing virus through late stage assembly inhibitors are effectively eliminated by the immune system

I did not because this is the normal function of the immune system. The extraordinary claim, yours, is that these cells will somehow get missed by the immune system.
VSCode is very different from Emacs in terms of philosophy. VSCode is notepad with extensions bolted on (like every other common editors). Emacs defines a more purposeful environment for working with text. And that is why you can get features like Compilation Mode, Occur Mode, systems like Org-Mode, and whole applications like magit, ebib, emms.
Not gonna happen in recent years, I suppose. PRC also needs US-designed and/or Taiwan-manufactured advanced chips. The possibility of war will ever decrease as long as more and more people wake up to the consequences.
> Do we default to public shaming anyone who says a word in defense of the person who is being sanctioned?

Defaulting to public debate on the matter isn't as stark a difference from this behavior as we want to believe, especially when the community in which you engage these points is so heavily biased in one direction. Discussions around "cancel culture" rarely take into account that the conversations being had are happening within a particular cultural context, one that depends on the venue in which it takes place. Too often I see public shaming framed as reasoned debate on this forum when the intention is otherwise abundantly clear.

An amusing corrollary to this is that cancel culture as normally defined is implied to be the majority opinion. I don't think that's true, though, the nature of news media definitely amplifies certain voices over others, getting back to the point about venues above.
Agreed in general. What DuckDB seems to be missing is phases / staging. It seems like Someone Else's code could install an extension midway through your program's execution and change its meaning. This is bad. What you want to be able to do is isolate exactly what language your program runs with. Racket does this (and has extensible parsing).
This is amazing for the Rails ecosystem! Rails has been slowly dying, or at least it felt like that. It was like "Punk is not dead" (which it totally is)...dying slowly. Then there were some controversial decisions made about the future of Rails: no build, moving away from TypeScript, etc.

These moves were controversial and risky, but seems like they paid off! And then DHH had a great keynote on the latest Rails World...

So for the 2009 cross licensing agreement, change of control terminates the cross licensing for both parties[0]. Since there are far more Intel x86 patents in the last 20 years than AMD, sounds like AMD would be the one more at risk, which I think agrees with what you say. In practice, any anti-trust review if Nvidia is the buyer would prevent Nvidia from using it to harm AMD's business.

> not my problem that our culture can't keep it in their pants

The clarion call of every mullah and religious nutjob has been that their culture is pious and chaste. Funnily enough, HIV doesn't seem to notice.

More broadly, it is your problem. Because the more opportunity the virus has to replicate, the more opportunity it has to evolve, and there's nothing fundamentally limiting HIV to being a sexually-transmitted disease.

Show HN: I built Reddit analytics tool for better results
Hi everyone! I’m Denis, and I recently built ReddStat, a simple yet powerful tool to help you dive deeper into Reddit analytics.

If you’ve ever wondered how to get better results from your Reddit posts, or which subreddits are most engaging, ReddStat is here to make it easy. It’s designed for anyone who loves Reddit—whether you’re a marketer, content creator, or just someone curious about what works and why.

What does ReddStat do?
• Analyzes post performance with clear metrics.
• Identifies trends across subreddits.
• Helps you understand engagement patterns to improve your strategy.

I built this because I wanted a better way to learn from my own Reddit activity, and I figured others might find it useful too. It’s still evolving, so I’d love to hear your feedback!
Awesome work here! I've been using earlier versions of Nuggetize and love the new changes. Feels a lot cleaner and faster than other summarizers, and the extension is a game changer.
I agree with the criticisms. I still think they’re fun. Prometheus is better than convenant.
Maybe they’re only hiring internally?
Thanks for commenting. I'm curious why you wouldn't master specifically to the format. There are so many nuances to vinyl with mistakes that can deeply impact sales when the job isn't done right.

For my own part, we had to recut the lacquers on a vinyl release five times to get it right, because the nature of the mix created a middling sound that bounced the needle around and caused intense surface sound. Once we solved that problem, the pressings sounded great.

Obviously with cassettes the profit margin isn't there to justify the additional expense of mastering, and to my ears cassette mastering rarely sounds different than the digital master (maybe some slightly different leveling). I believe NAC actually has a mastering guide to master to cassettes kicking around. But...not sure anyone follows it.

Just to be honest, I don't doubt you're a great engineer. But if you weren't mastering specific to format...I wouldn't hire you. Increasingly we've gone to vinyl-exclusive engineers on bigger projects, because it's so crucial to get the sound right at the start and poor vinyl mastering can cause problems months down the manufacturing line that are costly.
How is GDPR enforced though? With enough disregard for the law, the service provider can just lie about the data they have. I don’t know of a mechanism where you can actually force an audit to confirm that. You can basically ask the provider for all the data they have about you, but you can’t find out if they’re lying.
i switched fulltime to kagi, it gives me mostly better results than google and bing.

its possibly quite a clever strategy to have a high price, essentially the tesla playbook:

get a good standing with HNW people and provide an awesome product, meanwhile the incumbents laugh at it because its not scalable and has no significant growth. But also they do not shoot it down. Once its big enough and economies of scale kick in, then the price is lowered or the market pays that price.

Image Segmentation Now on Framer
The title isn't mutually exclusive at all. I'd wager the vast majority of artistic movements are fads, let alone statements. That doesn't mean it says anything deep about reality

Ask anybody why they are doing it any you won't get an answer any deeper than "I like the way it looks", "It's nostalgic", "I saw other people doing it", or even "It's trendy" and it doesn't take much digging to see that.

Digicams are a fad and a shallow artistic statement. That's not to say you can't make great art with a digicam nor that switching to one won't make you a more mindful artist. Switching from a modern graphical shell to a bourne-like shell will make a non-programming computer user (if there is such a thing) a more careful programmer, but in doing so you are cutting out an entire space of tasks that you could be doing.
