There are plenty of people who work with children yet may not have children: teachers, child care workers, medical doctors, psychologists, social workers, etc.. In each case, we see children in contexts that parents do not. In some of those professions, we may even see individual children more than their parents do. Perhaps it is best to avoid deprioritizing people simply because they don't meet an arbitrary criteria.

May I ask where / how you came about your copy? I've seen it mentioned several times but have found it difficult to locate.
(For example, the used copy on Amazon is selling for $2000!)
One thing I don't see anyone mentioning, is that there is a big consensus factor at play too, which adds a bunch of randomness to news outcomes.

Take interest rates for example: Lowering rates means that money will be cheaper (good!) but that the fed see's slower economic times ahead(bad!). So now you need to put the decision on context, which adds a whole host of assumptions and estimates. Both sides have a strong logical argument for stocks moving up or down.

So you end up with traders voting with their dollars once the news drops, and it is not (practically) possible to know which group has more firing power going into the print.

It's also not uncommon for a stock to tank the moment the news drops, and then skyrocket seconds later (or the inverse). Competing theories and the winner is whoever has more money to move the stock.
I think some people cherry pick a certain benchmark or reference point and build up the N100 as some sort of monster chip from that.

It's faster, yes. Also less efficient. But in many tiny builds it's only marginally faster because it has to be thermally constrained. Otherwise you require a larger power supply and bigger fan/heatsink.

Also, some configurations end up slower due to cheap shortcuts manufacturers make in their tiny builds.

The N100 is great, but it's not as great as I think some people think, for all uses and purposes!
It’s been a long time since I used vscode (~5 years) so my experience may be out of date. But I recall the vim plugin missing the quickfix list and :cdo. Also there were quirks with y and p that didn’t happen when using vim (maybe extra whitespace getting inserted).
I wouldn't really say the WSJ is a good summary. If I look at the front page today, most of it is topical, but generic and not really actionable information in any way:

- The Drugs Young Bankers Use to Get Through the Day—and Night

- CEOs Want Trump to Change Course on Tariffs. He Isn’t Budging.

- Untangling America’s Love-Hate Relationship With Corporate Power

Etc, it doesn't really tell you much anything about what's going on in the market. Yahoo Finance on the other hand is a great overview, the upcoming fed meeting is front and center, there's a market overview on the right, highlights of specific big movers, etc.
Bitcoin is not a good example for your argument. The first bitcoin transaction for a physical good was in 2010 where 10K of bitcoin was used to buy a couple pizzas.

Even the poorest American could probably have scraped enough together to own that much bitcoin back then. If they held onto it until now, they would be a billionaire!
Though even in this case, it is enormously more efficient to simply sum the first billion integers rather than find an analytic solution via a 405b parameter LLM...

Do you have a link to a news article?

I don’t see it on various news websites so I’m skeptical without a proper link.
On the one hand, I think "Bad Thing banned for kids but the smart kids get around the ban" is a pretty good state of affairs.

On the other hand, I fear that the "think of the children" crowd will attach legal jeopardy that will mostly fall on the smart kids, their parents, and indie developers.
one thing i’d add that works well in javascript that is similar to “eye level is buy level”

and that is “hoist the system”

the important things that any file does is at the top.

the things those things depend on are either imported from packages at the top of the file or hoisted from functions below.

the things those functions depend on are hoisted from below them and so on

this makes every file in a system easy to grok because the first things are the business needs and as you scroll down, you get into the weeds and the implementation details— important things, but conversationally irrelevant things— this paradigm makes cross functional collaboration more effective as it drives engineers to understand business context with literal forcing functions.
That appears to be constructed in order to deceive though.

Someone who was thinking about a problem and drawing something would always with a drawing like that either intend the angle to be the same, or otherwise highlight the fact that one triangles is 8/3 and the other is 5/2 so that the slope is obviously not the same.

Good visual proofs simply use lines and figures to talk about actual algebra instead of symbols; but every outcome is still in a sense algebraic -- like the one linked and the popular about Pythagoras. Once you pull our your ruler and measure you are obviously lost. Every result should be algebraic, not visual, but it's fine to express the algebra in figures instead of letters.

> Is the student into robotics? Most likely only a STEM teacher would be into robotics, which reduces the number of teachers to meet to find a mentor. See a person wearing a shirt for a band you like, more passive intellectual filtering to find a friend and reduce the number of people to interaction with to find a friend. Into beat-boxing, perform at the school talent show and communicate to all 200 and 5000 students at once. You still might be the only one into beat-boxing though. More Intellectual filtering that go against "having to meet everyone to find a friend or mentor" argument.

I would say that running this "intellectual sorting" over schools themselves is far more productive then running it over individuals in a school. Suppose you find a really good friend at a school, who happens to not share any of your classes; or a mentor who happens to not teach any of your requirements. Going to a school in which most people have already passed a basic filter for compatibility would leave you far better off than running that filter over every person in a school. Like having a shoe store only for people with large feet.
Yes I watch a lot of YouTube shorts. It's addictive and a waste of time but I don't find it affects my cognitive ability at all.

In fact it's mostly the other way around. I watch them when I'm too exhausted to do something productive (which is often unfortunately).
That's my assumption too, it can't be ruled out, for sure, but a bit of shielding may take care of that.

I wonder if EDN reader/parser for different languages could be written once, then compiled through wasm to c (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38602750) and linked in each language as c library.

Definitely would like to see EDN or slightly improved version as a modern and usable alternative to json/yaml (regardless of https://xkcd.com/927/).

> You don't think the front page of the WSJ would contain a decent summary of the day's business news?

Not anymore?

Take front page today, first "Opinion" title: "The Trans Double-Mastectomy Lawsuit" (not sure what their stance is here: they went full woke but they're toning wokism down now that Trump won). First big headline: "The drugs young bankers use to get through the day". "America's love/hate relationship with corporate power".

"How an Ivy League Police Commissioner Hunted an Ivy League Murder Suspect"

Facepalm. I mean, sure, if I was reading The Guardian in the UK or something.

But how the fuck has anything of that to do with business and/or finance?

That's what I see first, front page.

Funnily enough the first title related to business or finance is one HN won't like: "These 5 Wall Street Titans Thought Bitcoin Was a Fad. Here’s What They Say Now".

People are making fun of the WJS, calling it the "Woke Street Journal". They've been more interested in pushing the ESG ideology (the one were banks in the US [and the EU] are secretly assigning scores to every US individuals depending on how "ESG friendly" they are), including solar (not that there's everything wrong with solar) and most of all running an anti-Trump / anti-Musk campaign, being sure Harris would won, then running actual news about Wall Street and businesses.

They just lost the plot.
Show HN: HS student built an AI lab that makes dev tools and free tech courses
I’m Arlan, the 17-year-old Founder & CEO of Nozomio, and I’m thrilled to share our platform with you all today. Nozomio is an applied AI lab that offers developers a complete “inventory” of tools, resources, and community support—all for free.

*Why did I build Nozomio?*

We’re entering the age of AI agents and automated workflows, which means developers now have incredible potential at their fingertips—if they can navigate and harness these tools effectively. I saw a huge gap in accessible, up-to-date resources that not only teach modern web development but also show how to integrate AI into real-world projects. My goal with Nozomio is to help developers of all skill levels learn faster, build better products, and thrive in this new tech landscape.
True, and we considered that. But there are benefits to a smart phone that we also wanted them to have, just not all the time, and it should be easier to make a smart phone dumb than the other way around.
If you really knew Bitcoin was going to be big with certainty/high probability, you could have mined it or done a dark alley transaction early on. Assuming you didn't get scammed out of or simply lost your wallet at some point, I agree, it's an exception where you could have made a fortune from basically nothing. (Though not in a day which is the actual experiment in question.)

The more interesting experiment to me would be if you gave me a week's worth (say) of the WSJ from ten years hence, what could I do with it?
Wow this looks cool, I’m going to try writing a program. I have recently been learning about computer architecture (specifically older 8 bit CPUs) so when I read “There are no CPU registers” I was very intrigued.
Not sure if it helps, but trying: In a sense area isn't anything else than multiplication. It isn't like you have a) multiplication and b) area and then prove that a=b.

Rather, area IS multiplication.

The unit of "square meter" quite literally means "meter multiplied by meter".

> Why? You state that as if Ads are a product of the universe we live in and we need to accept them like gravity.

Am being realistic. The enshittification of tech companies is not to be blamed on ads. Ads have been around way way before, internet, tv or even news papers.

> Agree in principle. The problem is that you don't even need to do data surveilance in this case.

I agree with you here as well. Remove data surveillance and behavioural ads and you get contextual / static ads. That is better for users, advertisers. Ads zero is not the solution is all am saying.

The disagreement I have with this is that the other way (your way) doesn't work as well. They still track data, make you pay and it is only accessible to people with disposable income.

> The problem is the ambiguity. The old mantra says "If you're not paying for the product then i'm the product"

No. Data surveillance has nothing do with ads. DuckduckGo is a good examplle of it. It doesn't have to be like that.

> Well i'm paying. The transaction should be clear. I give you money, you give me content. But instead that's not what you get. Because you still get profiled, you're still served ads, and sure, BETTER, ads. That's my problem.

This is a very entitled view. Not all of them has the disposable income. Moreover, How many are you going to subscribe? But also, it doesn't fly with news sites. Subscription works for software etc. Anything that needs to be accessible for the broader audiences (like journalism), it fails. This is where ads come in.

Moreover, my problem with the whole statement is that ads were done in a right away in the past. We know how to do that. While it hasn't panned out very well when it comes to subscriptions for news sites etc. It is making it more difficult for journalists and others to survive with subscription. There is a reason why newspapers had ads even after you pay for subscription. Especially for news sites like services.

The problem with internet ads is that we just don't want to directly deal with advertisers. We rather make an api call and let google do the rest. AND they do surveillance. Thats on us. Not on ads.

People don't realize the magnitude of the information that they're giving away. They also don't read the TOS/Privacy Policies so they don't realize they're often giving ownership of their data.

I think it's important to remember that people can say one thing and intend to act in accordance with that, but do otherwise out of ignorance. Of course, however, that's not always the case.

I'm the author of the post. I think you've discerned the central tension I was exploring here.

Part of what I'm identifying is a simple truth: in your 40s, you don’t have that same kind of “raw firepower” you had when you were younger.

That doesn't mean you can't still be ambitious or leverage your accrued wisdom, network, and resources to launch a company; it just means the dynamics are different.
I’ve been working with perceptual hashes a lot lately for a side project, and my experience is that they are extremely resilient to noise, re-encoding, resizing, and some changes in color (since most implementations desaturate the image). Mirroring and rotation can in theory defeat perceptual hashing, but it’s fast enough to compute that if you care you can easily hash horizontal and vertically mirrored versions at 1 degree increments of rotation to identify those cases. Affine transformations can easily defeat some perceptual hashing algorithms, but others are resistant to them.

The big weakness is that most perceptive hashing algorithms aren’t content aware, so you can easily defeat them by adding or removing background objects that might not be noticed or considered meaningful by a human observer.
I am in a similar situation where I needed to jump in on a python Django codebase for a side gig I'm helping a friend out on. Since I have no interest in using Django in the future I decided to Claude my way trough the project - I did use Django like 10 years ago, am fairly competent with python and used rails recently - so I thought how bad can this be. By the time I had something cobbled together with Claude I decided to get a friend who's competent with Django to review my code and boy did I feel like an amateur. Not only did the code not use good practices/patterns (eg. not even using viewsets from DRF), I couldn't even follow in the conversation because I knew nothing about these concepts. So I spent a day reading docs and looking at a standard example of a idiomatic setup and it made my project a lot better. I've had this experience at multiple points in the project - not reading the API docs and letting Claude walk me through integration left me stuck when Claude failed, design decisions.

So I would say Claude is useful for simple execution when you know what you are expecting, relying on it to learn sounds like a short term gain for problems down the line. At a point where LLMs can reliably lookup sources and reason trough something to explain it there will be no coding left, but I feel we aren't close to that with current tech.
TIL, thanks! But then if that's what it originally means, it seems pretty appropriate for what software engineers do?
No one is trying to convince you to use Vim over Nano. Use whatever makes you productive
You’re framing this like it’s a bad thing, but a video of an accident is pretty valuable to someone falsely accused of causing an accident, and in that case the people with the video aren’t the bad guy, the person lying about causing the accident is. Storing 50 million videos isn’t cheap. The rates seem reasonable considering the volume of data they store, most of which is useless, and the small number of customers in their target market - I see 1 hour blocks of video in NYC cost $250. That’s like 10 minutes of lawyer time, if you’re lucky, and totally reasonable and worth it to settle an accident dispute if the alternative is paying the other guy thousands. I might even speculate that the intended customer here is insurance companies and maybe not individual drivers. If so, insurance companies are well prepared to do their own cost/benefit price analysis. So… why do you think this is bad? And what surveillance uses are you worried about outside of car accidents? The cost of the videos means nobody is doing any “mass surveillance” here, that the vast majority of the video gets deleted unanalyzed and unwatched.
This is commercial only. Free and small is my safeclib, which does about half of it. ICU is not usable on small devices, and also pretty slow. It's much faster to use precomputed tables per algorithm, such as here or in safeclib. libunistring is also extremely slow. This was tried for grep and failed.
> I would like to know how does it compare against ICU

ICU is a large library, typically around ~40 MB depending on the platform, whereas Unicorn, with all features enabled, is only about 600 KB.

ICU has a broader scope: it's not just a Unicode library, but also an internationalization library. Unicorn, on the other hand, is specifically focused on Unicode algorithms.

ICU wasn't designed to be customized. It's also non-MISRA compliant and written in C++11. In contrast, Unicorn is written in C99, fully customizable, MISRA compliant, and only requires a few features from libc [1]. It's far more portable.

No. Screen Time (their parental controls implementation) is easily circumventable, includes a “One More Minute” feature that can’t be disabled, doesn’t sync properly, manages to crash Safari in mysterious ways… I could go on.
It’s disastrous, like an intern-level project that was shipped and never improved upon. And these are the only parental controls APIs available, so competing apps aren’t even possible, they ultimately just serve as alternate frontends for Screen Time.
