It is certainly not trivial and would add little to the topic
The sugar industry spent a lot of money on PR to shift the blame to fat.

Also, it's "obvious" (but completely wrong) that if you don't want to be fat, you shouldn't eat fat.

So "low-fat" products were (still are...) sold as a "diet" option. In fact processed carbs, and sugar in particular, are a far more direct cause of weight gain.

Fats do contribute to weight gain, but they're much more complicated. Sat vs unsat, trans vs ordinary, and so on all have very different health effects.

Put directly, the sugar industry lied and is now responsible for tens of millions of deaths.
For the benefit of others who aren't so familiar couillons, it's one of the many proud descendants of the Latin cōleus which means "balls" in the sense of testicles or courage. Other etymological cousins include the Catalan colló, the Portuguese colhão‎, and of course the notorious Spanish cojón.

Hardly surprising these are still popular idioms.

More news just in: you and I won't see much/any difference because we've done this (playing with computers) before, many times I expect.

But I appreciate some of you left your Pis in the sock drawer and are unaware of the seemingly obvious (to you) things that learners trip up on. I spent years maintaining a Pi-based audio player aimed at beginners. I even tried to support some other platforms, should have been "simple" but the little differences matter to those that don't know what's little and what's big.

I should probably give some examples but I guess this is a case of what's obvious to me, isn't to you.

Show HN: Generate OpenAPI HTML page with few clicks
Hi,

I built a small feature to help you generate a OpenAPI YAML or HTML Documentation Page with few click. It's built-in in the app, no need to install any dependencies.

You can import your HAR file, then exporting it.

Maybe because FIRMS uses data from satellites in polar orbits, which only pass over the area once every few hours? With choosing near-Earth polar vs. farther geostationary orbits there's a tradeoff between space and time resolution.

I'm absolutely sure there have been new flaws introduced since the abolition of slavery and women's suffrage.

My point is that those flaws don't seem, to me, to be just as bad as slavery.

> Why did Biden do something immediately...?

Back in '71, one year before Biden was elected to the US Senate, President Nixon was on a very public "Inflation is Public Enemy #1" rampage. In '72, Nixon was re-elected with over sixty percent of the popular vote.

One could snark about Biden be senile...but at this point, I've mostly concluded that the Democratic Party's core constituency wanted to get out of power, and stay out. That's far less work, and doesn't require them to venture out of their own little well-to-do ideological bubble.

I'm not sure why you're being down-voted; If you're not using a Pi for the GPIO/HATs and tinkering of that kind, but for hosting software/services, a mini-PC destroys the Pi in every regard.

I have a couple of dozen Pis, I typically buy 3x of each generation, but recently I retired everything below a Pi4 and use a Minisforum mini-PC I got for ~£260 with a 8c/16T Ryzen 7 mobile, 32GB RAM and 1TB SSD, it can do what all of the Pis were doing before and still have a tonne of CPU headroom, and I can double the RAM to 64GB if I need more.

Factoring in the cost of the Pis, coolers, PSUs, storage etc it was literally cheaper than all of the Pis and has performance and features in a different league to the Pi.

Power consumption is lower than the number of Pis required to run the equivalent workload by some way.
Bought a mini pc with N100 and 16GB of ram, SSD included, no need to buy an enclosure, everything setup and ready, just needed to install Linux from a USB stick with the normal procedure.

I might have chosen RPI5 if it had 16GB ram, but I went with x86 and I like it because there are no software issues anymore (redpanda was not working on rpi)
I was highly confused by that as well. EDM is (gladly) pretty much dead in the 'clubbing' scene I am in.
Regardless of the vibrancy of the colors, one trend I really like that I hope doesn’t reverse any time soon is how bright and sunny many new buildings are nowadays.

I immediately notice the difference in my mood walking into a modern office where the walls are essentially giant glass windows vs a building in an office park built over the last few decades. Old brick buildings with tiny windows on college campuses feel claustrophobic compared to the newer ones. Modern coffee shops are airier and cheerier compared to the dark caves of yore. Even homes are being built with larger windows now.

Not everyone likes this trend (and many people who code still prefer dark rooms), but for me I think it’s great. I thrive on a lot of sunlight.

Perhaps the bright and varied colors of the past were more so a counterbalance to the lack of sunlight? With more natural light available, muted color schemes feel more appropriate.
Yep. A friend of mine was dating one a while back. We went on a double date and had to stop 22 times on the South Bank in London so she could do fish face and get a good picture for Instagram. Not talking about an iPhone here either. A Sony DSLR on a gimball.

The date I had said "maybe we should push her in the river?".

(They didn't last. Neither did we. At least ours was over a disagreement on a statistical model on an academic paper though)

Local governance in general is FUBAR. Here in CA, housing supply policies from the legislature have gotten a lot better in recent years, but construction still gets bogged down at the local level.

Most budgeting should be moved to the state level, IMO. It's crazy for Western Springs, Atherton and Beverly Hills to waste money while Chicago and Oakland fall behind. If some magnates decide to move to Texas as a result, good riddance. The dependence on property taxes is particularly perverse, as it incentivizes the housing pyramid scheme.
Even without changing construction materials, you can protect houses from many forest fires by making sure there's no flammable material anywhere close to your house. That requires space, which also comes at a premium, but it may still be cheaper than having to build earthquake-resistant concrete everywhere.

A lot of lives and properties (though certainly not all) can be saved if people and cities followed recommendations like https://www.nfpa.org/en/education-and-research/wildfire/prep... but measures like that can be unpopular (because people like to have pretty homes with plants near them) or expensive (because people, cities and property developers would need to set apart "unused" land to separate houses from vegetation).
I've been on the move (nomad) for close to 3 years now. First year full airbnb. Second year, mostly airbnb. This third-year, I have around $800 of airbnb credit that I am yet to use. And I really want to use it. Airbnb has just became the worst of both worlds: 1. For hotels, it has an inferior booking experience and is more expensive. So I just book with booking.com and 2. for longer rentals, the experience is both unpredictable and the price are x2-3 times higher.

Case in point, I am in a Vietnamese city right now. I looked airbnb and the places I see average $500-700/month. Instead, I did a short walk around the coworking space I rented at and found a comparable place for $200/month. Big Plus: I got to see the place BEFORE placing the non-refundable one month rent. The place is literally across the coworking space (just have to cross the street).

As an extremely lazy person that prefer to use online methods than asking random people, I really wonder who is still using Airbnb.
One thing I like about Berlin is that some clubs explicitly forbid photos. Staff place stickers on the front and back cameras when you enter. Anyone spotted taking photos is kicked out.
> As always, their policies failed to account for context.

So seems that's not a first for her - and that kind of experience is expected by any gig economy scam once they managed to reach a decent market share. So why is she still using it?

From the very beginning I've refused to use that kind of gig economy services as their business model just isn't sustainable in the long term without making things worse for us - but thanks to idiots like her I nowadays have to deal with that nonsense in some cases (like food delivery) as people just jumping at "cheap now" without giving it any critical thought managed to kill of the sustainable alternatives.
If the (conservative, friendly-with-Elan) Italian Prime Minister wanted to cool the outrage from all the other (not, not) European politicians a bit, then he could have claimed "this is only a stopgap, 'till our own satellites are online in a few years". TBD if he's planning to playing that card...or just enjoy the outrage.

Historical perspective: In 1922, the British Empire, France, Italy, Japan, and United States all signed the Washington Naval Treaty* to end their arms race, because (roughly) any one of them was capable of cranking out cutting-edge battleships** as fast as they cared to. And WWI had just demonstrated the mortal danger of "until everyone is bankrupt" arms races.

Vs. now, only the US (and within the US, only SpaceX) seems to retain that technological capability.

WHY? And why aren't very loud and nasty questions being asked about that loss of capability?

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_Naval_Treaty

** Easily the largest and most technologically complex machines every produced, back then. And the international pecking order was very much determined by "who has the most, biggest, and best battleships".
> I know telling them they shouldn’t have chosen to be athletes is missing the point you yourself bring up

They can't alter the past, but they can cut their losses now.

It will also hopefully help the next generation of potentially professional athletes.
Or, perhaps because people actually think that murdering people is not acceptable.
(I've written Verilog compilers, normal compilers, designed gates and chips, can read polygons, written assembler, etc etc)

I think it is all very analogous to software compilers, but IMHO writing in assembler is an order of magnitude easier than manually laying gates, and maybe 2-3 orders more than manually laying polygons.

Yes you can get better performance and density by laying polygons, especially stuff like ROMs and RAMs and regular ALU structures, but it's a lot of work and not a rathole you want to go down as a beginner
I never turn on my camera, and minimise the video feeds of everyone else (as in, tab away). Problem solved.

I find some people are very pushy about wanting “everyone to have their camera on”, but I just make various excuses (I lost my camera, the laptop is upside down for better cooling, etc). 5 years now, top of the tech tree (to explain that this has not been a CLM), but still making those same silly excuses ;-)

You’d think someone might have guessed by now.
Surprisingly it worked for me today. All twitter have been down (in Asia?) for the last 2-3 weeks that made me wonder if that platform is still in business.

Fwiw I have a deep voice and have had a beard for more than ten years. I've read HtWFaIP and some other good self-help/pop psych. I spend lots of time talking (though often to captive or disinterested audiences). I do some meditation, and tick lots of the other obvious boxes. I still struggle with keeping people's attention and it's bad enough to bother me.

Of course if you're powering this off solar in some remote location then we're into the niches where an RPi 5 might make sense, but otherwise it's just down to electricity cost.

How that works out in practice depends on workload though, while the N100 consumes more at idle, it can also finish workloads much faster so can potentially spend more time at idle. While the RPi 5 idles at around 4W (including a NVMe) and the N100 at around 15W, the RPi 5 uses 12W at full tilt[1], ie close to N100 idle power draw.

Alternatively the N100 with 32GB of RAM can replace two or more RPi 5's in terms of performance, so in that regard might even come out ahead.

I used to run a Pi as a Wireguard entrypoint to my home network, I made the filesystem read-only and created a RAM disk and moved logs and any other writes to it to protect the longevity of the uSD, it had the added benefit of security of a read-only FS. I'd remount it r/w occasionally and run updates. It ran flawlessly for years (at a time when I was killing a Sandisk uSD in Pis roughly once per week) until I decommissioned it.
First AI Benchmark Solved Before Release: The Zero Barrier Has Been Crossed
Author here! While working on h-matched.com (tracking time between benchmark release and AI achieving human-level performance), I just added the first negative datapoint - LongBench v2 was solved 22 days before its public release.

This wasn't entirely unexpected given the trend, but it raises fascinating questions about what happens next. The trend line approaching y=0 has been discussed before, but now we're in uncharted territory.

Mathematically, we can make some interesting observations about where this could go:
1. It won't flatten at zero (we've already crossed that)
2. It's unlikely to accelerate downward indefinitely (that would imply increasingly trivial benchmarks)
3. It cannot cross y=-x (that would mean benchmarks being solved before they're even conceived)

My hypothesis is that we'll see convergence toward y=-x as an asymptote. I'll be honest - I'm not entirely sure what a world operating at that boundary would even look like. Maybe others here have insights into what existence at that mathematical boundary would mean in practical terms?
Lumber construction is hardly the only factor. Greece commonly uses brick/stones/cement but was hit heavily by forest fires. The things in/on/surrounding those unflammable materials can still light on fire and destroy homes. On the other hand, well-prepared lumber houses often survive forest fires in America and Australia.

Unlike brick or concrete, wood is easy to make earthquake resistant, which is very relevant in a state like California. No point in building a flame resistant building that crumbles to dust within a year when it's hit by a minor earthquake.
Greed, aka. running a business.

They have to make money somehow, it means selling things for more than they pay for. They chose to make higher margins on the 16GB model than on the 8GB or less models, which is not particularly shocking.

I remember reading, in the late '80s, a series of interviews with famous programmers in a Yugoslav computer magazine (I think it was 'Računari' - those were translations from some U.S. magazine). In one of the interviews, a programmer (whose name, for the life of me, I can’t recall or find on the internet) mentioned that his boss was embarrassed because he drove an old clunker to meet clients. His boss pressured him to buy something more suitable. So, this guy (the legend I guess) ends up buying an old Rolls Royce to ensure his boss couldn’t complain anymore, all while still not doing what was actually expected of him :)
Author here,

We started writing this survey in early 2024, motivated by the idea that the Next Token Prediction paradigm could unify tasks across not just text but also image, audio, and video domains. At the time, works like Unified-IO received far less attention compared to language-focused LLMs.

Fast forward to early 2025, we’re seeing more unified LMMs like Chameleon, Transfusion, and Grok (based on their respective descriptions) that integrate understanding and generation within a single model. This could indeed be the year where LLMs handle multimodal tasks—text, image, audio, and video—seamlessly.

Any suggestions and discussions are welcome :)

Yep, but it will never replace email address as universal identifier until it is adopted by all.

In addition to that, reports show that the majority of Asian and African users access the internet via a shared device. Therefore phone number cannot be a universal identifier there as it generally identifies a group of people rather than in indivdual. This is why google and outlook accounts with SSO are still generally the most used identifying systems in the world.

Also known as "shareholder primacy", one of the great achievements of late 20th century neoliberal economics. If you don't like the airbnb customer experience, that's because you're not their main priority. The solution is to become an airbnb shareholder and use your profit to stay in expensive hotels.
My first job as a SWD was at a company that built a reservation system, they had integrations with AirBnB even though our product did everything they offered. The only difference was that AirBnB had more/different traffic, so it was beneficial to also have a subscription there.

Little did they know, if AirBnB never existed that traffic would still find way through search engines or ads
A sibling comment mentioned that it can detect smoke, so my guess is waste disposal, aka burning trash in your backyard. Some can produce quite a lot of smoke.

I did a private pilot license in Africa, the biggest "plus" was that I always knew the direction of the wind on the ground by looking at all these fires. There was never a time when I didn't see smoke unless I was flying in very remote areas.

> infinitesimals more intuitive than the formal 'limits-based' approach.

I predict that infinitesimal/hyperreals will become mainstream in math one day the same way the 'complex' number i is now taught in school. Having probability ε instead of 0 just makes more sense (e.g. for hitting a number on an interval).
This code is very beautifully written, thanks for sharing.

However, you should consult the book "C: Interfaces and Implementations" by Dave Hanson, which has a library called "Arena" that is very similar to your "Pool"s, and it shows a few more tricks to make the code safer and easier to read (Chapters 5+6, 6 in particular).

D. Hanson's book (written in the 'literary programming' style invented by Donal Knuth) also demonstrates having debugging and production implementations for the same C API to catch memory errors, and his book is from 1997:

> I really wonder who is still using Airbnb.

I guess people who are looking for short term rentals but not yet in the country/area, especially families with kids.

Here's another interesting O(1) memory allocator but with arbitrary sized allocations and low fragmentation. Negative side is relatively high memory overhead (a few dozen bytes per allocation).

This kind of allocator is often used to suballocate GPU memory in game and graphics applications.

I'm using a variant of this algorithm with added support for shrinkable and aligned allocations and flexible bin sizing.

You can also extend this idea to two dimensions to create texture atlases, which is possible in O(1) for power of two sized allocations.
