Jobs is on the whole probably better than the modern "tech right", yes, if only because supposedly he turned down opportunities to get seriously into politics. OTOH, who knows what kind of strange political or personal journey he might possibly have taken if he'd been around for the past decade and more. And in fact I think he may have contributed to the US getting where it is now in (at least) one significant way. By committing his options-backdating caper and then avoiding punishment for it he contributed to the feeling that the Special Boy is too precious to suffer criminal consequences for his actions, something which has likely had consequences for the later career of Musk in particular.

I think they say that because it used to be only supercomputers that could do a petaflop of compute. So taking what used to be a datacenter(15 years ago) and cramming it into a small device is a pretty impressive feat.
Amazon is excellent at selling physical books. I can order pretty much any vaguely popular book and have it delivered the next day at a price rarely higher than anywhere else.

That’s Amazon’s core business philosophically, everything else is an add on or side project that happened to be profitable.

I think that just like the original sin of web development is trying to run apps in a document browser, the original sin of Amazon is trying to sell everything in a bookstore.
How do you figure that? The amount of the surcharge for the average taxi/uber driver per day will be many many multiples of the cost for a regular driver.

In the case of a regular driver you you have someone paying $9 to bring a car into the congested area, probably serving one trip by one person.

In the case of a TLC driver you'll have them paying probably well over $100 a day (assuming the $2.75 charge x 4-5 trips an hour give or take) and aiding in the transport of probably dozens of people to their destination.

It seems completely obvious why this is a better approach to relieving congestion while still preserving the ability of people to get around.

I have an Iwiss tool, and it sort of works for me. My problem is that it seems to require three hands to operate: one for the wire, one for the contact, one for the tool. I have tried holding the tool between my knees, I found ways to delicately hold the wire and contact in place with one hand, and close the crimper with the other, but it never feels ergonomic. I often just end up using pliers instead.

It seems to me that these tools should be designed as tabletop or bench-mounted devices, so you can push the wire+contact in from the front with both hands, crimp, then pull out.

I must be missing something, because all the tools are this form factor, and I don't see much discussion of the actual "how to crimp properly", i.e. the physical actions. What am I doing wrong?

Zig disallows ALL shadowing (basically variable name collisions where in the absence of the second variable declaration the first declaration would be reachable by the same identifier name).

Generating a text file via a writer with the intent to compile it as source code is no worse in Zig than it is in any other language out there. If that's what you want to do with your life, go ahead.
Yes, the article kind of describes the default behaviour, but after the initial source/sink selection one end or the other can then independently request power role swaps and data role swaps, which the other end can either accept or reject.

For example if you ask a USB-C power brick to let you swap to providing it power, it will reject that. Then some devices (like phones, tablets etc.) will only accept power when they're switched off, but will do either when they’re on. But some will happily let you switch to device mode and be a sink when they’re off, until the battery gets below a certain level and then they’ll only accept you providing it power. It all gets quite complex!

The company I work for makes devices that are always in device mode (called upstream facing port or UFP mode) but can provide power when they are plugged in themselves, so have to swap between source and sink. I’ve spent far too long debugging firmware issues with PD controllers because of this!

Maybe not the gin (did not like it to begin with), but alcohol-free wine, yes. The taste still gives some memories of ritual and celebration without associated health damage. Good likeness of wine, turns out, is not very cheap. You can buy a cheap non-alcoholic wine that taste something like kombucha or grape juice, but really good brands are constantly sold out in our local alcohol-free drink shop, despite being 2-3x the price of the real wine.
It’s a topic that comes up quite often in recent years, so I don’t know what you mean by “not talked enough in health”.

Show HN: GetHtml() open source web scraping waterfall fetcher
I’m open-sourcing a project that’s been in my web scraping toolkit for a while: Waterfall Fetch.

After building custom scraping infrastructure for startups again... and again... and again, I decided to do something potentially career-damaging.
I’m making a generic version of my go-to solution available for everyone.

How does it work?
Waterfall Fetch performs stealth/proxied fetches in sequence. If one fetch fails, it automatically moves to the next, more robust strategy—until it successfully retrieves HTML. Think of it as a resilient solution for web scraping.

Features:
- Supports custom fetch strategies (and proxies).
- Allows you to execute JavaScript on pages.
- Works with a simple getHtml() function.
- Fully documented.

And yes, it’s live now on NPM.
`npm i waterfall-fetch`

It even has a nice little docs site to help you get started.

> alcohol-free gin is maybe good for cocktails, but does anybody really drink it in its pure form?

That depends on what the zero proof spirit is aiming for. I've found some of them are not very good alone because they're trying to replicate a particular flavor in the cocktail, but others (ex. Monday's Gin) are great with just ice. We keep a bottle of it around for a fun evening beverage.

The "savory non-tea zero proof beverage" for the evening is a difficult thing to come by. That's the space these fake spirits are trying to fill.
Here is a an article about the announcement, including the video transcript: https://uk.news.yahoo.com/mark-zuckerberg-says-meta-replace-...

Overall, IMHO, it is great news. Opinions should be faced with opinions, lies should be faced with exposes as it has been done since the beginning of humanity. I am sure that many people will see this in different light(like this Daily Mail article titled "Mark Zuckerberg's stunning censorship admission as he seeks to suck-up to Trump") but I think this is the only way to counter the rise of fascism. Why? Because when censors and fact checkers are wrong crooks become freedom fighters and truth seekers.

What should be regulated, I think, is frauds like pretending to be multiple people to sway opinions, bots pretending to be people to give impression that something is popular or using algorithms to distribute opinions and content that favors a particular side without being explicit about it or falsifying data to give impression that something receives support. Humans are used to lying or horrible people and we have social mechanisms to deal with these. What we can't deal with is fakery.

CXL Block Device "CBD" Looking Promising for the Linux Kernel in 2025
It would be cool if something like vast.ai's "DLPerf" would become popular enough for the hardware producers to start using it too.

> DLPerf (Deep Learning Performance) - is our own scoring function. It is an approximate estimate of performance for typical deep learning tasks. Currently, DLPerf predicts performance well in terms of iters/second for a few common tasks such as training ResNet50 CNNs. For example, on these tasks, a V100 instance with a DLPerf score of 21 is roughly ~2x faster than a 1080Ti with a DLPerf of 10. [...] Although far from perfect, DLPerf is more useful for predicting performance than TFLops for most tasks.

>I'm looking for a career fixing problems caused by tech as a techie.

Oh, I thought you were looking to do something for the good of humanity. I'm afraid all the paying jobs are antithetical to that goal to varying degrees.

>How do I make some FOSS which addresses being lied to by Google AI?

Work on your own model, or at least a framework where other people can make their own models. The biggest issue with AI right now is it's expensive to run locally, thus entrenching cloud interests. I suspect that unless hardware gets insanely cheaper that we'll have domain specific models to serve that purpose.

>How do I make FOSS that makes the web a more pleasant place to browser without popups and broken back buttons?

Ghostery did a pretty good job with this. So much so that the advertising companies are struggling with ad blockers. For broken links, perhaps a wayback machine plugin that renders the latest historical version of said hyperlink.

>How do I turn FOSS into a career? I've worked at companies who use FOSS and contributed both on the clock and off, but it was never primary way I made money.

The only models I know of that work is freeware / premiumware and/or support contracts.

>What makes me so frustrated is that these things are getting worse, and I feel powerless to stop it.

You (we) aren't powerless, but perhaps overmatched. The nice thing is tech can really disrupt entrenched interests. Linux is a prime example. Most people don't remember how powerful Microsoft Windows was in the 90s. They still are but at least there are viable alternatives, particularly in the server sphere.

You can get models that run offline. The other risk is copyright/licensing exposure; e.g. the AI regurgitates a recognisably large chunk of GPL code, and suddenly you have a legal landmine in your project waiting to be discovered. There's no sane way for a reviewer to spot this situation in general.

You can ask a human to not do that, and there are various risks to them personally if they do so regardless. I'd like to see the AI providers take on some similar risks instead of disclaiming them in their EULAs before I trust them the way I might a human.

> zig generates a compile error when you try to pass a non-conforming type to a generic function that places conditions/restrictions on that type (such as by calling a certain predicate on instances of that type).

Sure, but only after it's fully expanded, which is much harder to debug. And if a generic function doesn't fail to compile but rather silently behaves differently (e.g. if it calls a function that behaves unexpectedly, but still exists, on the type in question) then you don't get an error at all.

> parametricity is a property of specific solution spaces, and not really in the ultimate problem domain (writing correct and reliable software for specific contexts)

Nonsense. Without parametricity your software is not compositional and it becomes impossible to write correct software to solve complex problems.
