A slow start. Apple uses N3* but TSMC won't be able to deploy that until 4 years from now when it's obsolete. It's possible they could make Samsung/Qualcomm SoCs on N4P, maybe.

This venture has an appearance of malicious compliance to take advantage of American taxpayers. It would've been better if an American company built things in America because then the interests of such a company would be aligned. Instead, it's still entirely dependent on TSMC in Taiwan where China is planning to invade this year or next given the rapid construction of landing craft and other preparation signals.

Thanks for the constructive example of the rust doc.

I am not making things up when I say that the very first question I had about how to use this module, either is not answered, or I couldn't find the answer. That question was "what regular expression syntax is supported?". This is such a fundamental question, yet there is no answer provided.

As a preference thing, I don't really like examples in APIs (it is supposed to be a reference in my opinion) and I find them to be mostly noise.

> Why would I want to edit the documentation of an external library
I'm consuming when I'm reading it? And even if I do then the effort
to make a PR changing those docs pales in comparison to the effort
it takes to open the original source code with the docs and edit it.

Right, this is possibly where our experiences differ. I'm frequently pulling in loads of code, some of which I've written, some of which other people have written, and when I pull in code to a project I take ownership of it. Doesn't matter who wrote it - if it is in my project, then I'm going to make sure it is up to the standards I expect. A lot of the time, the code is stuff I've written anyway, which means that when I come back in a few months time and go to use it, I find that things that seemed obvious at the time might not be so obvious, and a simple comment can completely fix it. Sometimes it is a comment and a code change ("wouldn't it be nice if this function handled edge case X nicely? I'll just go in there and fix it").

The distinction between external and internal that you have looks pretty different to me, and that could just be why we have different opinions.
If I’m an author and I don’t want my work included in the corpus of text used for training ChatGPT, should I have that right?

What about if I’m an artist and I don’t want my work included in the training data for an image generation model?
In reality, people won’t pay for things they say they will; it’s cheap rhetoric to try to get maintainers to add their niche feature.

Nice idea though, maybe add some more data sources to increase confidence in data (and hopefully prove me wrong).
As AI becomes better the quality of plagiarism should improve.

So there's that.
Even in America I've seen similar opportunities. Engineering PhDs at state schools have offers where you get paid a small but livable amount and get your tuition paid for. I think the big difference is that in industry you can just get paid way more in America compared to engineering elsewhere.
Subject domain knowledge mismatch appears to be too strong for further constructive discussion.
I don't understand how you don't understand the order of magnitude difference in flexibility, utility, availability, etc between needing to run a specific executable vs merely opening a text file in any way.

In 2025, many SaaS companies are racing to define their AI strategy. While there are plenty of grand visions of fully autonomous “agentic” products, there’s also a more immediate, practical solution that’s surprisingly powerful: a chatbot-driven user experience.

At Databrain, we’re building a modern business intelligence platform. Anyone who’s ever used tools like Tableau or Power BI knows how complex these systems can become—so much so that companies offer certifications just to confirm you know where to click to accomplish certain tasks.

And it’s not just BI. Many SaaS products are brimming with features that users often struggle to discover. Customers scour documentation or call support just to learn how to perform a seemingly straightforward action. Why should users be forced to memorize new menus and workflows? Why invest so much cognitive effort into navigating a product?

Enter the chatbot-driven UX: Rather than forcing users to master every nook and cranny of your interface, a chat-based system lets them simply tell the AI what they want. The AI can guide them to the correct page, perform the requested action, and allow the user to verify or tweak the outcome in real time. It’s a natural stepping stone on the road to “agentic” interfaces, where the AI does most of the heavy lifting but still leaves room for human oversight.

I recently built a prototype to illustrate this concept. At Databrain, we plan to launch this feature soon as part of our platform’s evolution. We previously tested an “AI data assistant,” but it didn’t fully catch on—mainly because people want to trust the output, and they get concerned when it isn’t 100% accurate. Now, I’m convinced a “co-pilot” approach, where humans remain in control while AI assists in routine tasks, is the right balance. This chatbot-driven UX is our first step in that direction.

Ultimately, the idea is to minimize the user’s cognitive burden and accelerate the path to actionable insights. We’ll share more about our progress at Databrain in the coming days, but I’m excited to see how this approach changes the way people interact with complex SaaS products.

People like Charles Murray think people like me are subhuman for having low IQ and being non-white, the conversations I'm hearing aren't about curing disabilities they're about the "wrong type" of people procreating.

> All these experiences are viewed through the lens of the mental health industry which is blind to the systemic nature of stress and pressure, and so the "fixes" are medications (...), in other words, the symptoms, not the cause.

Oh, they know, but what else are they going to do? Therapists know that "you should quit your job" is useless advice for 90% of their patients. And so they'll treat the symptoms first to keep their patients from jumping off a bridge while working slowly towards fixing the root cause.

Not everyone is out to get you.
The problem is that you have to write the interface not only separately grom the implementation, but together with the implementation as well, which leads to duplication of information;
There are multiple axes upon which something like this can be evaluated. I'm not against us as a society collectively deciding we should enforce rules that may be counter to business logic (e.g., child labor laws to pick something uncontroversial).

When something is more controversial, it's common to look at the business case. It has commonly been argued that 'diversity' is good business even disregarding any desire one may have related to restorative justice.

Put simply, if it's good business and good morals we should do it, if it's bad business and good morals or good business and bad morals, we have to weigh the balance of it (bad business can lead to morally bad outcomes, like layoffs), and if it's bad business and bad morals we ought not do it at all. I was just focusing on the business case under the assumption that the poster believed it to be good morally.

China has a fundamental national myth of a great struggle and victory completed so lets avoid bloodshed and war that caused it. Their story of past trauma causes present stability.

It's this idea of: "we are all in it together let's not rock the boat because last time millions died" that unites their country.

> it shows me the source and I can click on the link to verify the source ... (search engine use case)

To me, this is exactly a search engine. I type my query into 2005-2015 Google, I scan the page summaries under the links to see the answer, and click the best-looking result to confirm or read the details. Occasionally you need to re-word your query to get the answer you're looking for. Sometimes I don't bother clicking through because the answer is right there.

I don't really care that I can use plainer English with an "AI"; I'd be happier if I just got 2010 Google back. But sadly, it's gone.
Not to take away from the possible usefulness of constant functions, but it's amusing that the article example of `sum(5,6)` would work great in C if written as 5 + 6, or done as the equivalent macro
Show HN: Typing Practice for Hackers
Traditional typing apps aren’t built for coding. They miss key features that coders need:

1) Syntax highlighting to replicate real coding environments.

2) Practice with tricky symbols like {, }, ;, and |.

3) Real-world coding snippets to make typing practice meaningful.

So I built typinghackers in 8 days with go (pocketbase), react (yes, shadcn xd) and sqlite. Rsync to the vps and let it go.

He was successful at marketing extreme FUD books in the late 60's and early 70's, kind of reminds me of "the impending catastrophe" doomer like Thom Hartmann. Heck, even Jim Morrison had an opinion on the subject.

The reality (WRT to bulk metals) is that we get some "free passes" due to mining technological advancements, and that increased scarcity -> increased costs -> curtails wastes, encourages recycling, and drives substitutes.

More generally, peak production isn't a problem itself, per se. There is concern when there are risks for sudden shocks or collapse. If we suddenly ran out of phosphorous, that would be bad.

I think there is still a lot of waste that could be captured with cleverer engineering, especially ag runoff, in industrial process, and failure to capture material going into landfills. Perhaps in 100 years, we will be mining old landfills for rare earth metals.
Not really. You can’t major in playing sports, you can’t get credit for it, and i don’t know what you mean by “as rigorous as anything else academically”, but it’s probably not true. I didn’t play division 1 anything but I did play in college (no scholarship).
I mean they have name recognition and a userbase, but they're hardly the best at doing any of those features.

Default destination for many is still just Google, and they've added AI to their searches. AI chat boxes are shoehorned into a ton of applications and at the end of the day it'll go to the most accessible one for people. This is why AI in Windows or in your Web Browser or on your phone is a huge goal.

As far as extra features, chat GPT is a good default, but they're severely lacking compared to most other solutions out there.
You could have said the same thing about Postgres vs. Oracle 30 years ago. But it's true that these heuristics are not always in agreement.

>So the “loss” includes R&D.

R&D are costs which a company needs to pay to get a vehicle on the road. Whether the car, as a whole, is making a loss or not depends on whether it can pay for the R&D costs over it's lifetime.

Car production is very capital intensive, besides R&D you have the retooling of entire production lines as another major cost factor.

The real question is whether the sales of these cars will eventually pay for the capital expended. At current EV sales number that is not going to happen, but manufacturers like Ford obviously speculate on large future growth in demand for EVs.

At least in the EU expected EV growth was much larger than actual EV growth.

How to become a meteorologist without a degree?
"I'm interested in pursuing a career in meteorology, but I don't have a formal degree in the field. Is it possible to become a meteorologist through self-study, certifications, or other non-degree routes? What resources or alternative paths do experienced meteorologists recommend for someone eager to dive into weather science and forecasting?"
That claim is just false. No one needs to live at exactly 123 Acorn Street, Pierre, South Dakota, USA.

They may have good reasons to want to live there, including "My job is here", "My family is here", and "The only doctor in the world who can treat my exceptionally rare illness lives here". But God will not smite them if USPS starts delivering their mail to a different address. They have many options for figuring out a different place to live, either locally in Pierre, or farther away in a different state or continent.

The fact that the supply and demand curves seemingly move slower in the housing market compared to e.g. the electricity or food markets, which are arguably much more basic "infrastructure goods" (you can survive being homeless if you have food - you can't survive living in a mansion with nothing to eat), doesn't mean they stop being subject to the laws of supply and demand. At worst it means "Plan carefully, because if you miss the mark you will lose a lot of money for a long time." At best it means "Sweet - I wonder if I can make these markets more dynamic with a new company?"
Both look great. The aesthetics of FlexLayout's drag box are _really_ nice, and the vertical tab handling is such a good touch. Dockview looks like a strong contender though, and the HN effect on stars may well give it momentum to integrate the relatively small edges that FlexLayout enjoys.

Neat! A couple gameplay suggestions I would have is that while the game does pretty well figuring out which word I'm typing sometimes I will get "locked" on a word that I decide I don't actually want to complete (for example, if something is coming at me faster). And, while probably intentional, sometimes I just can't see words or there is some delay in when they actually get destroyed.

It has always been obvious to me that consciousness is something that sits outside the computational realm because if it wasn’t, you would end up with self-contradictions, much like Gödel's incompleteness theorems. Intuitively, this would be related to quantum mechanics, as this is a part of physics which does not seem to be fully computational (ie. have things which we can only describe as random).

The problem with using quantum computing to explore this is that quantum computers, as they are now, use quantum phenomena that can be fully modelled computationally.
Not in here Australia.

At many of our leading institutions in the hard sciences, rehashed work, data stolen from other teams, photoshopped images and a bit of plagiarism is enough to get you by.

Once you get to the social "sciences", it is much worse.

Karma cannot be denied and the result is that work outcomes with a PhD are derisible, since employers have worked out that something does not compute about the quality of freshly minted PhDs.

Wow… reading that it made me wonder if this is my older son’s problem (or gift). He was never a good sleeper as a child. He used to not fall asleep until midnight and then wake up at 4am when he was little. He got put on clonidine when he was 10 years old, which made him fall asleep earlier in the evenings, and sleep longer into the day so about 9.30 - 6am, but as he’s got older, the effects of clonidine are not as pronounced, I feel it is a win if he stays in bed past 4am… though now that he’s older, he claims that waking up at 4am to “grind” on his computer for a few hours before school is a win, and I honestly don’t care anymore so long as he isn’t waking up the rest of the family before 7am. He is never tired.

I’ve built EmailProvider.js, a lightweight, dependency-free JavaScript library that enhances email input fields by providing real-time autocomplete suggestions for popular email domains (e.g., gmail.com, yahoo.com). The goal is to improve user experience by reducing typing effort and input errors.
Thats valid.

The 2020s ethic of "copying any work is fair game as long as you call the copying process AI" is the polar and equally absurd opposite to the 1990s ethic of "measurement and usage of any point or dimension of a work, no matter how trivial, constitutes a copyright infringement".
Aaron Swartz was targeted by some pretty overly zealous prosecution no objection, but lets not forget that what he really did.

He put a laptop in a wiring closet that was DOSing JSTOR and kept changing IPs to avoid being blocked. The admins had to put a camera on the closet to eventually catch him.

He might have had good intentions but the way he went about getting the data was throwing soup at paintings levels of dumb activism.

For all the noise the real punishment he was facing was 6 months in low security [1]. I'm pretty sure OpenAI would have also been slapped hard for the same crime.
