Aaahahah! The guys who are doing this are absolutely shitting themselves laughing right now, sending the whole nation into UFO panic and getting it on national news and talked about at the highest levels of government for a couple hundred bucks. No drones necessary!

It's fucking genius, and just like magic tricks, it's so simple that everyone overlooks it and jumps straight to "MUST be actual magic/Aliens/secret government program/evil communists!", and for the same reason- people want to get tricked, mesmerized, shocked, see something magical and special, to the point that they become absolutely blind to the most mundane explanations, and that's precisely why it works so well!

Not going to ruin it for them either, if you figure it out you figure it out and then you know, it's pointless telling people anyway because they will just come up with random nonsense to dismiss it because 1) they want to believe so hard, 2) they won't admit they were so easily tricked.

Sorry for being an ass, I'm just finding this situation absolutely hilarious!
Agree. Apparently the grid is not made up of one letter squares and you have to figure out the row and column, it's made up of two letter rectangles.

What it looks like when you select that rectangle to give you more precision, I could not figure out from the video.

Two or three static images would be most helpful.
I am the creator of the Odin programming language. That's not even my opinion...

I do not personally use an LSP for my own personal reasons (I found I PERSONALLY was less productive with such tools). I am not against the concept of autocompletion tools like an LSP. If you are more productive using one, that is great!!! OLS exists but OLS is just not "official"—even if it is very good from what many people have told me. The only reason it is not official is that none of the core team worked on it, including myself.

As for QoL tools? Of course we want these but our philosophy is make sure the foundations are brilliant first before half-arsing the tool built on top of the foundations.

So according to this research 1/3 of all Bitcoin mining is now happening in one country: The USA.

Long term I think this is bad for Bitcoin, to more decentralized the mining is, the better off the network will be.

Interesting times indeed.
Slight disagreement here: I don't think it's an issue of in-person socialization, I think it's an issue of non-person socialization. Keeping track of real people that you know in real life, or even meeting real people in small, closed groups (ideally physically local to you) is a great thing that social media does. Robot armies owned by nefarious actors whose whole purpose is to elicit any emotional response from you is also a thing social media is really good at. Digital Everything might not be what was promised to us but it's here and it's not 100% useless. After all, aren't we here on a social network having this discussion right now?
TPU is extremely high performance for Google because it can be optimized for Google's workloads. Google has absolutely world class data centers (think power efficiency) and TPU performs extremely well in them. (In turn: I expect Gemini is optimized to be trained and run on TPU)

Google has vastly different constraints than an average startup or user of machine learning.

The flexibility of Nvidia GPU's, the software, these things are really valuable for most people. Only recently with LLMs has the majority of uses started to look very very similar (some slightly modified transformer)

Early versions of TPU required you to write your ml logic using a very restricted subset of tensorflow. (It had to be somewhat functional, etc)

Normal people don't write code like that, and it's not worth it for them to re write a working model to run on a TPU because software engineers are expensive and Nvidia GPUs are really good and general.

Matt honestly seems unaware this is how it’s done in many projects. I even asked him about it and he responded with “when has that ever been successful”

Stack too small - there's no proof the 8k allocated is too small, is it really exploitable?

Non async functions - pretty common problem but difficult to actually exploit. Every developer who has worked with signal handlers has probably made this mistake at some point because the issues it causes are extremely difficult to reproduce (some incredibly unlucky timing is required)

Arp leaking addresses - Not really a Mullvad issue and only exploitable on the local network

Deanonymization attacks - these work against all VPNs and you can always anonymize traffic more but it has a cost to do this.

Sideloading - Yeah this is probably the worst one but is not exploitable on it's own.
Very nice!

Adding support for CRDs would be very nice. Maybe look up popular CNCF projects and find their official helm charts, that contain the CRDs?

The name is unacceptable. I literally thought this was a project by Blender. You are asking to get sued to oblivion.
I would so much rather the creator not participate in the comments than have a fake AI that doesn't know the creator's mind in the comments.

I don't care if someone with a million viewers replies just to me. Almost any video's comment stream, you can scroll through, get a general sense of what people's reactions/questions/etc are to the video, and then good creators respond in one or two comments to the masses.

The second I see someone with a huge following obviously AI responding to each of the comments, I have lost all respect for them, and people will call them out on it. I see this a lot on reddit now where people are responding to AI generated posts pointing this out, and it is causing some major issues in communities.
It has been a couple years, but iirc the BF862 back then had a pretty unique combination of low capacitance, low e_n and a low 1/f knee. The 2SK2394 is also earmarked for use as an AM radio amplifier, same as the BF862, which probably also explains why these went from jellybean to rarity some time ago...

Show HN: Casabrix: a purpose-built tool to manage your apartment/home search
Hi everyone! I’m Kevin and I’m a developer who is obsessed with creating things that are actually useful for people.

My most recent apartment search in Chicago was awful, and I’ve spent the past couple months trying to find ways to make the process less painful (https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/apartmentscom-red-f..., https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/fast-filter-chicago..., https://github.com/kloovin112358/ApartmentsThatDontSuck).

But one of the most interesting problems with apartment hunting was the lack of technology to help me keep track of the different apartment options I was considering.

Previously I just copy/pasted information from Apartments.com into a spreadsheet, which resulted in me constantly flipping over to Google Maps. But the real kicker came during apartment tours, and I would totally forget the details on the unit I was there to see (and Google Sheets on mobile isn’t particularly user-friendly). Then I would forget what questions I wanted to ask, and leave the tour without complete information.

That’s why I made Casabrix. A spreadsheet interface with maps integration on web, a mobile-optimized view for iOS and Android, and a Chrome extension to scrape Apartments.com or Zillow listings.

I would love your feedback on what features you’d need to see in Casabrix to consider using it.
I have some concerns.
This is an unnecessarily obtuse and pedantic response to the thought being raised.

Yes, a neighbor may not realize they're sharing their network, however, interpreting their "next door" comment as a literal unit of proximity doesn't make your comment look as intelligent as you may think it does.

I would not write this.off as hysteria. It's important to consider motivation of potential actors. Every advanced rocket guidance system uses cameras to zero in on its targets during the final approach. You can't rely on GPS at that point. To do a good job you need to know what your target looks like and high resolution drone imagery helps a lot.

Odin allows you to opt into the vetting tools through build flags (`-vet` and `-vet-*`) or even per-file build tags `#+vet unused`.

This is one thing that really annoys me about Go, I am a competent programmer and I don't want be treated like an incompetent one. If I want vetting tools, I'll enable then when it suits me.
And the person who found the error nevertheless agrees with the original conclusion, FTA:

I get the optimization thing. I also replay situations in my head and how it could have gone better. I even save notes/reminders/mindmaps for the next time I talk to someone or I'm in a particular social situation. That's just how my mind works, and I can't remember everything.

I also second your approach. I have a todo.txt file of various restaurants, experiences, places my gf wants to visit. Next time I want to plan a date, I look up the list ("Hey babe, let's go that that [RESTAURANT MENTIONED 3 MONTHS AGO] tonight. It's proven to be a very good system. <3

Seems like a very similar direction to visionOS. I’m glad Apple normalized the ability to run mobile apps spatially.

I do wonder how this affects Meta’s plans for horizonOS. Are access to Meta’s game library more important than access to androids ecosystem.
I take "generational" to mean different behavior patterns in different current generations. Of course, behaviors and norms can also change for most people over time.
Rust does allow for safe signal handling, but it's sort of the same way that it allows for safe and correct interrupt handlers for people writing os kernels (signals are basically interrupts, just from kernel->user instead of hardware->kernel). You're basically constrained to no_std and have to be very careful about communications with the rest of the system using lock free mechanisms.

That’s true. It was poor phrasing on my part. But I do realize I’m really bad at a ton of things. I just meant in the math context.

I'm pretty sure their point is that certain frequencies are getting a lot more power than is naturally possible. Not that the photons are special in some way.

With all due respect, this is yet another instance of Hacker News confidently stating very wrong things. My wife ran the operational testing program for a classified Naval aircraft capability for nearly a decade. They flew unmarked planes out of a commercial airport. People photographed them and asked questions all the time. Nobody ever answered them. Neither confirm nor deny is standard practice. If you have something like the U2 flying at 50,000 feet, by all means, hide it. Fly out of Area 51 or whatever. But if you're just modifying standard aircraft and it flies low enough that people are going to see it anyway, the best you can do is keep it out of anyone's hands to physically examine, but you can't keep people from seeing it.

She used to show me speculation just like this on hobbyist observer web forums. People speculating the planes belonged to the CIA, were running cocaine shipments, all kinds of crazy shit. Nobody for whatever reason ever guessed the obvious and only true statement. It was just basic military aircraft testing out new surveillance tech that wasn't ready to field yet. Not "surveillance state monitor the public" shit that Hacker News thinks we're doing, either. Just cranky weird shit like hiring a bunch of people in west Texas to ride around on camels and horses and seeing if you can tell the difference, because it's a lot easier to do that first over territory you control before you try to do it in Iraq.

sarcastic. not hostile.

do you honestly believe that i was unaware that there are companies that do not require the rotation policy? maybe the "pretty much all" phrase was confusing and you did not think that left room for some to not?

that's great that there are some companies that do not, but there are a great number of people that still do. it's not anything that needs rebutting as we're all aware they exist

And this is not even just about software in a general sense, it's literally software that creates the same product: 3d models. Absolutely asking for trouble.
The behavior you're describing does make you a thoughtful person even though the thoughts aren't necessarily in the front of your mind. Check out the concept of embodied cognition.
Damn, even my kid learned from the danger of black plastic kitchenware from school and advised me to drop all of them!
Great work on the tool. Looks really useful for basic modeling for a businesses who need this.

As a salaried person I would like to see a version of this tool for planning ones own portfolios.

0. Set your risk parameters: Maximum drawdown, expected returns, time horizon, fixed income needed, broker platform etc.

1. Pick ETFs from a specific brokerage that match and find different kinds of ETFs for different asset classes, different startegies(US, ex-US, Currency Hedged, Buffer, Bullet Shares).

2. Tools: Rebalancer, be able to find what ETFs are cheap/expensive based on current evaluations(P/E) and Historical data. Like when fed is raising rates one can invest more in Bond Funds(like Bullet Share) that lock in that yield incrementally and vice versa.

There needs to be a process for food pantries so have people who will come to your garage to process your deer for the share of the meat. Many poor would be able to come to your garage on a Monday night (you get home Sunday night and process them on Monday) for a share of the harvest. Processing deer goes better with extra hands and some of the work is very easy to teach.

I'm not sure how many poor are really able to take a Monday night to learn how to butcher a deer, but...

This is really nice! The context switching that comes from using the [official k8s reference](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/kubernetes-api/workload...) is a real pain. If your writing a deployment and need to check one thing about the pod spec all of a sudden you jump to a new page and lost where you were. Ontop of that this keeps track of the indentation level the spec your looking at within the context of whatever parent path your writing it for.

Maybe one nitpick would be to keep colon between the key and the type so one can copy paste multiple lines of relevant spec to be filled in your editor easily.

> The study, by researchers at the advocacy group Toxic-Free Future...

It's interesting that we routinely dismiss studies funded by corporations as "biased" and "junk science", but never seem to scrutinize studies from other such advocacy groups. With a name like "Toxic-Free Future" it seems pretty obvious to me what their conclusions were going to be even before the study was done. Not because of nefarious reasons, but because confirmation bias is a difficult thing to overcome.
With those consumptions we all could go back to 1955.
It's not just that they are a mess accidentally, but they will necessarily become that. I won't discuss the full position here but in short: not everything needs to be automated, especially the automation of dependency hell. And making such things easier to do, is not a good thing and WILL lead to what mess we have no due to human nature.

Odin could trivially have a package manager and even one of the best support for it at the language level too because of how I designed what a package is in the language itself. I choose to not officially support a package manager because I don't want to encourage the path to hell.

Yeah there are a couple of sites where I do the login with google, but most of the time I go through the steps of making a real account specifically because of this issue. There should be a way to tell if you already have an oauth account without it just making you a new account if you choose the wrong method.
Ain't that where Gwyneth Paltrow's GOOP name came from? I'm pretty sure it is.
Yes, "agentic". Very creative word.
I think “loses” lends itself to clickbait.

It’s either 0 or massful.

“Loses”, to my eye, implied a continuous ability to remove mass, and led me to wonder if one could achieve negative masses with the experiment’s technique.

But I’ll save you the click: in one direction it’s massless (traveling at the speed of light), and in the other direction it has mass.
This is the perfect article for HN because the problem is still real and the recommendation to avoid black plastic around food is still good. But because there was an error that affects but does not undermine the conclusion, the entire premise is rejected.

I think of this as "too technical to be correct." It's a really good example of how when writing for HN as an audience, it's best to use as few concrete details as possible. They will be scrutinized endlessly, and any flaw or inconsistency in them no matter how trivial or spurious will be taken as refutation of the entire statement.
You are correct, states that are heavily against gun ownership and have many laws to punish gun owners with limits on functions, looks and arbitrary restrictions means you are already a possible future criminal.

Just putting a sticker on your gun can be used against you in a court of law. The hate and prosecution against gun owners is a real problem.
I'd love to hear about your non-tech learning goals for 2025, I'm curious!
why does it matter how it works? Either it works and people pay for it or it doesn't. Does every company owe you, the end user, an explanation on how their product works? While you're at it, maybe you can get all the secret recipes.
The two sibling commenters spend hours per week on HN and haven't seen this. I spend an hour or so a week looking for this --- you can see it in my comment history --- over and above the probable hours per day I spend on HN (I am on HN professionally).

It's an open-access site, so if you go looking for this stuff, you will absolutely find it. But it tends, strongly, to come from throwaway accounts, and is virtually always flagged off the site. I used to point this stuff out to Dan, but have mostly stopped, because by the time he sees the email it's already dead.

So, no, sorry, I don't think the "festering" charge will stick.
It's also unclear to me how you handle movements at a scale smaller than an individual cell, or if it's possible at all.

I am a motivated and eager leader with deep technical understanding who is ready to take the reigns on projects from vision casting a concept all they way deployment. I know how to motivate teams and keep them on target. I am a natural leader that pays close attention to ensure people are utilized to their full potential and happy in the work they contribute to the team.

I have lead numerous teams for years in a dev shop environment. From working directly with clients to understand their organizational need, to mandatory code review, to setting up DevOps tools to enable devs to do their work effectively, to automating deployments workflows to ensure care free weekends. I am battle tested in overseeing the entire process with deep technical understanding.

I am eager for a challenge in an interesting domain space. Let's talk about the project you want to succeed.
