If the hype-wagon is swerving across lanes because of control software bugs, you definitely want the person in it to be able to hit an E-stop button so that it stops swerving after a finite number of lanes.
I think in the case of X this wouldn't happen and this was political influence trying to silence him. Far more effective than Russian propaganda for that matter, here a presidential candidate was silenced. Fact checkers would make such phenomenon worse while community notes would just deliver more context.

Be that as it may, that is a positive side of Musks takeover of X.
It's possible to make implantables with some banks through the same methods as wearables, which is pretty convenient. Otherwise, the option is to take your card and (assuming it's of the correct type) cut out the chip inside and coat it to make it safe for implantation. I'm aware of at least one business that offers turning credit cards into implants as a service. Cloning is pretty much a no-go as you suspected.

I am currently working on a canvas app (not Three.js, though), so I will look through your code, too.

Thank you for doing such an excellent job.
Regarding the resource hijacking (security vulnerability) risk, one need not just imagine it anymore. It actually happened, a few years after your blog post was written: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40791829
Valve has a long history of standing against kernel annticheat. It is a pain to dig up old statements against it, so the best evidence of that is Valve’s own anticheat VAC avoids touching the kernel. They even recently began to require disclosure of the use of kernel level anticheat:

https://www.pcgamer.com/games/steam-now-requires-developers-...

They recently voiced their opposition to kernel level anticheat as some thing that “ might present problematic trade-offs for the end-user in the longer term”:

https://automaton-media.com/en/interviews/the-steam-deck-has...

Kernel anticheat is a major security issue from the perspective of the operating system, as it is a kernel level rootkit. An offline analogue would be giving a corporation the keys to your home and having them regularly come and install new cameras and microphones to see what you are doing. They might say “it is only active when you are playing a game”, but there is no technical hurdle blocking them from watching 24x7 and some of them don’t even bother to pretend it is only when playing a game. Then there is the issue of the wiring being faulty such that it occasionally sets your house on fire (search for BSOD complaints involving anticheat kernel drivers and you will find many).

As for Microsoft, I think that is a misunderstanding that came from this:

https://www.notebookcheck.net/Microsoft-paves-the-way-for-Li...

Here is what someone who claims to develop kernel anticheat had to say about it:

https://blog.freudenjmp.com/posts/microsoft-will-not-kill-ke...

Unlike Apple and the Linux community, Microsoft does not care about end user security to take a stance against kernel anticheat. All of their security initiatives are security theater.
Ask HN: Do you have any reccomendations for MOOC's?
I like to take courses in my spare time and have grown quite fond of MOOC's (Massive Online Open Cours).

My current project is approaching its end, and I'd like to start looking for something new to explore. Are there any interesting online courses that you'd recommend? I'm not looking for anything in particular, just curious to find out what is out there.
This reminds me of Prime Video subtitles. Anything not Hollywood blockbuster will only have one language (from what it looks like, randomly chosen) of garbage quality (not sure whether AI generated though). But there's worse anyway - some Asian titles ONLY available in badly dubbed versions - again in some random language (hello Casshern in... German???). So I see this VLC initiative as an improvement from this very very low bar.
But how? The university threatens students with expulsion if they do that!

So, why do they allow people to do it, but expell them for... publicly discussing it? When the university could just, you know, not offer the service!
Sure, as long as one has some means of predicting the probability of false positives as well as false negatives. Until then, colour me unconvinced of the (f)utility of this approach :)
The trouble with the big sites like Indeed and Linkedin is companies, whether willful or negligent, misclassify their "hybrid" jobs as "remote" constantly, wasting both sides' time

> Ambien is a scary drug to rely on as it can create dependency and also masks underlying issues that are causing not inability to sleep.

That just sounds like you think every sleeping-pill is scary, as that's true for literally all of them.

Sleeping pills are mostly effective together with other types of therapy to address the underlying causes, just like most "temporary solutions". They're supposed to be used as "We'll try to figure out what's wrong, but in the meantime, so you can feel relatively human, here is a temporary crutch", not as a long-term solution.

$9k for a mobile MVP (instead of $50k) – Should I raise my prices?
Hey Hacker News!

This is my first question here, and I’m hoping to get advice from more experienced agency owners and entrepreneurs.

I run a mobile MVP agency that takes apps from idea to launch in around 30 business days, charging a flat $9k for the entire process.

The package includes everything—wireframes, design, development, and app store launch. Essentially, we deliver a fully functional MVP without unnecessary fluff.
Here’s my dilemma: many agencies charge $50k+ for similar projects, and I’ve had some founders tell me my pricing seems “too good to be true.” I’ve intentionally kept my rates low to stand out and attract clients quickly. So far, this has worked—I’ve successfully launched a few apps, and clients have been really happy with the process.

But now I’m starting to wonder if I should raise my prices to better reflect the value I deliver. Would a higher price make my service feel more “premium” and attract clients who value quality? Or could it hurt my positioning? I’m also thinking there might be a middle ground—raising prices slightly without losing the competitive edge that has brought me clients so far.
So if yes, by how much should I increase and why? If no, why?
I’d love to hear your insights, especially from fellow founders or agency owners. What pricing strategies have worked for you?

(P.S. To be clear, I wouldn’t raise prices by much because I still believe many agencies overcharge. I think $50k+ for most MVP projects is excessive. I’m always honest with clients—if their idea can’t realistically be built in 30 days, I let them know upfront. In those cases, they're happy to pay the flat fee to start, already knowing in advance that they will need to subscribe to the monthly retainer. This way, they know exactly what to expect and stay happy throughout the process.)
Good to have a slightly less breathless shiny-shiny summary: some of these look useful, and one in particular is a bit of a relief!

I think I do understand, this is exactly what we do. (MEGA_MACRO == HWY_NAMESPACE)

Then we have a table of function pointers to &AVX2::foo, &AVX3::foo etc. As long as the module exports one single thing, which either calls into or exports this table, I do not see how it is incompatible with building your project using modules enabled?

(The way we compile the code twice is to re-include our source file, taking care that only the SIMD parts are actually seen by the compiler, and stuff like the module exports would only be compiled once.)

Worse than different signals, sometimes they carry power rails in different locations, so plugging the wrong connector in can sometimes destroy electronics or start a fire.
Everything is more expensive in the USA is quite an exaggeration. Being able to afford (better) consumer goods/services/experiences is quite nice in itself not to mention the quality of opportunities present. I don't see many people emigrating from rich countries either.
That's what I was doing as well (only in Bytom lol, to have even lower life expenses), till I retired at 41 years old. But, software engineers are an exception. Everybody else is pretty much making local salaries, which are lower than american ones in terms of purchasing power.
Interesting, sometimes a job visible on a board[1] is not listed on the company’s website[2].

You're talking about "older drugs" like Chlordiazepoxide like they don't have any drawbacks or the drawbacks are less heavy compared to other more modern drugs. I'll give you that everyone is different, and doctors should evaluate what works for each patient, but I don't think it's ever as simple as "older drugs == better, newer drugs == worse".
Any concert amphitheater probably has 100x the sound power. Our speakers are very loud when you’re dancing next to them, but they’re not strong enough to be ear-splitting to a seated crowd of 80,000 people.

Thank you! If you've written some programs (ideally in C), you're good to go. You might stuck on some concepts, but you can learn one by one. IMO, implementing it makes you to understand the concepts more deeply, and learn more that you won't notice when you just read textbooks.

Also, because the implementation in this book is very naive, it would stimulate your curiosity.
Sort of on topic, I've been struggling so much lately to find something for Ruby or C#, either web or desktop... My numbers so far (since September 2024), are: 500+ applications, 2 interviews, 1 offer below what I'm making right now... The struggle is real.
apologies, dropped em.. all of DeepNode is genuine tho :')
Legality and enforcement are orthogonal concepts. They should align, but sometimes they don't and you get an unenforced law.

Obviously, less people's behavior will be changed if there are no consequences to doing the illegal thing.

Gun control implies the need for enforcement, because you need to act on something in some way to control it. A piece of paper with some words on it (which is what an unenforced law is) can't act on people by itself.
The "trading" is all out of band, the system only sees one person drop their registration and another person fill the slot.

When someone drops a class, the opening becomes available immediately, so you coordinate a time well after the registration rush has died down for one person to click "drop" and the other to refresh the page and click "register". At least that's how it worked when I did it 20 years ago. It was relatively common in the Greek system not to "trade" a class for a class but rather a class for a few beers or the like: prior to registration, if you were an underclassman who really needed to get into a class next quarter that you knew filled up quickly, you'd find an upperclassman (who get access to the system earlier) who was eligible for the class you needed and wasn't full on credits to grab a slot, then a couple days before classes started, you'd have them drop and then grab it for yourself.

At that time (early 2000s), polling bots weren't common, but there were rumors, so people doing this got more careful and actually sat next to each other with their laptops to coordinate the drop and add instead of just picking a time or date.
The interesting thing is that everything with a brain sleeps. We really need to get to the bottom of understanding it.

I'm not in AG but I'd like to relax the current restrictions on juvenile labor. If 12 year olds can work on the family farm, why not let them legally work elsewhere?

As a 12 year old tech enthusiast I would have been thrilled to work a few hours a week for the Geek Squad. Or I could have worked at a small business entering invoices into Quickbooks, answering the phone, or running the till. I wouldn't even have minded pushing a broom at the pizza place nearby if it'd come with an employee discount!

As it was, all I could do was cut grass -- which is not safer, or more educational, or as profitable for me as some of those other jobs would have been.

I use 5mg a few nights a week to get a full night’s rest. I’ve worked hard over the years on good sleep hygiene—no screens, wearing a sleep mask, and avoiding food (especially carbs or alcohol) before bed.

No direct link has been found to this, but eating carbs has always given me deeply vivid (and often exciting) dreams since I was little. Unfortunately, from these I wake up exhausted, which isn’t great for the day.

I’ll continue being careful, and especially stay mindful when life stress—like love or money—picks up. It’s good to be aware if anything is being masked or overlooked in the process.
I really don't get the point in the example of a magnet implanted in the hand. When I drop a screw its either easily picked up with my fingers, or in a place my hand doesn't fit at all. If you really expect to drop small, ferrous objects frequently why not just carry a small magnet, or better yet one of those extending wands with a magnet on the end?

The second use case of dragging paper clips is even more confusing. I get the novelty I guess, but that's really worth the risk of the magnet hurting you in some way?

They mentioned it being strong enough to pick up scissors or a knife, that seems like a pretty easy way to accidentally slice open the side of your hand. The risk of coming across another strong magnet that snaps onto the meet of your hand also seems like it could be really annoying and painful, like pinching the side of your hand in a drawer.
> try to buy many things that are "not smart"

This is the best strategy, but let's be clear... consumers who make a purchase have a reasonable expectation of owning a durable product that does not increase the threat surface of consumers' lives.

This means that the product requirements should be clear and the supply chain must be secure.

Until a "trust label" can guarantee these principles, the proposal is just another prop in a grand security theatre.

> But there is _no_ version of a carnivore or meat-eating omnivore that does not involve killing and savagery

Absolute statements are not useful in this context. Vultures are obligate scavengers who eat the flesh of already dead animals as a practice. The dead animal could be due to death from natural causes (diseases, old age, injury, poisoning, starvation) or hunting by other animals. So there are some versions.

Also, as a couple of examples, the animal world is not one that has consent to sexual intercourse or empathy in killing an offspring who’s not their own. So your (or our) morals cannot be absolute for one purpose (killing an animal to eat the flesh) while being considerate for other aspects. In other words, we don’t gain much by pointing to the non-human world as a justification or excuse for our actions.
Was there innovation in the twitter product pre-elon?
I love Zephyr. In fact, the RTOS term is sometimes a bit misnomer. I'd rather name Zephyr as a embedded OS framework: you can even use it without scheduling (even though it will be very limited). The amount of pre-built work done with Zephyr is amazing and when we have to use the STM32 HAL API manually we love Zephyr even more. Really, documenting API using PDF should be banned, ST!
For what I need it sounds overly complex and expensive, when a $5/mo VPS works just fine.

Any time AWS is mentioned I know it's going to be some huge expensive setup.
or you know, offer more of the desirably classes, or charge extra for them, or give people "fun bucks" to register for classes and the more desirable ones cost more fun bucks
Free VSTs are great and all, but VCV Rack + a wealth of online tutorials and synth knowledge seems like the perfect option to me. Especially if someone is actually more interested in the synthesis part than being musical. Plus VCV Rack is also free to start with until you want to go much much deeper.

I think they are both acceptable places to start and learn.
Need DVD version
Once upon a time I had severe difficulty sleeping due to high and sustained levels of stress.

I had gotten prescribed some Zopiclone which is similar to Zolpidem as found in Ambien. Zopiclone makes me feel like I have a brain injury the day after. Sometimes after the first night, always after the second night if I find I need to take it two nights in a row. It’s frightening.

I came across a paper: ”Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic Interactions Between Zolpidem and Caffeine”

https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Roberta-Cysneiros/publi...

Based on my understanding of the results that a significant dose of caffeine counteracts “some but not all” of Zolpidem’s effects on cognition—and the two Z-drugs being similar—I tried drinking a tiny little bit of coffee with the tiny little bit of Zopiclone. (I take 2-3mg; a whole tablet is 7.5mg.)

The result is that I am able to sleep and do not feel brain-damaged the day after, and the effect also seems to be that the failure rhythm of stress-related waking up at precisely 5:30 is broken. In other words, the combination seems to fix the problem.

I suspect that part of the reason might be that the caffeine counteracts the disruption of the norepinephrine oscillation you mention. (Thanks!!)

I mentored an intern when I was at AWS and worked with a few other new grads and continued to mentor the returning intern after they graduated.

After three or four years in the industry, if they suck up everything they can and take advantage of every opportunity, they will be set.

The same is true to a much lesser extent on the enterprise dev. I tell people on that side just not to be a “ticket taker” and volunteer to have larger more impactful products - “don’t be the bullet. Be the gun”
That might be true for some of the extreme performance EVs (Rimac Nevera: 2360 Nm, Lucid Air Sapphire: 1940 Nm), but I think the mechanical brakes can probably overpower the 700 Nm of Waymo's Jaguar I-Pace.
