> Zionists back then didn't really care about those being persecuted in the diaspora

Zionists themselves were mostly victims . My grandfather and grandmother fled from Germany to Palestine in the 30s , a bit after Hitler got into power. I guess technically they were Zionists because they fled to Palestine as Jews, and took part in the state, but I don't think they particularly cared about Jewish statehood - they just wanted to live. All their family left behind in Europe was wiped out - this is the story of many of the so called colonialist Zionists.

They came with nothing, lost everything and then had to endure all the wars in Israel as well. There's nothing particularly special about the story of my grandfather and grandmother, it's the story of most Ashkenazi Jews in Israel.

You can call it "adventures in colonialism" and link to some bullshit articles all you want, but history is history.
Sounds like they want photographers to do the data labeling for them....
Because bandwidth (and static serving) is dirt cheap, presumably especially so for someone like Cloudflare. Hetzner used to charge ~$1.20 per TB beyond the generous included allowances.

Most sites will have a hard time getting anywhere close to that and the ones that do will likely at some point want more advanced features than the free packages offer (or get force-upsold, see e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42713451).

Once people are in the Cloudflare ecosystem, they're much more likely to upgrade and start using additional services, or recommend Cloudflare to their employer.
Technically it appears red dye no 3 was banned due to cancer and Delaney clause, however, keep in mind that I think the primary reason it was banned in California last year was all the studies correlating it to deleterious cognitive impacts on children

I had one too (and a 770 before it). Great idea, so-so implementation. It was slow (and slowness is a cardinal sin, since you're always reminded that you're using a machine -- in my opinion, the way Apple products react so much faster to user input than competing products is a huge factor in their success, and Apple knows it) and the touch screen was terrible.
> For example high dimensional spheres are "pointy" and most of their volume are near their surface

I had a visceral reaction to this. In what sense can a sphere be considered pointy? Almost by definition, it is the volume that minimizes surface area, in any number of dimensions.

I can see how in higher dimensions e.g. a hypersphere has much lower volume than a hypercube. But that's not because the hypersphere became pointy, it's because the corners of the hypercube are increasingly more voluminous relative to the volume of the hypersphere, right?
> nor the Jews in Israel either, they have by and large not committed to a terrorism campaign like Hamas has

Israelis have killed at least an order of magnitude more Palestinian civilians than Palestinians ever killed Israelis, even before the 7th October war, even counting the 7th October war crimes by Hamas.

The fact that Palestinians do this with bomb cars while the Israelis do it in uniform and with sniper rifles or planes doesn't change anything about who the real threat to whose security is.
How do Switch users feel about the joycons?

I'm not a gamer, but the original Switch joycons always struck me as overly complicated and expensive. It should be cheaper to manufacture and sell Switches with the controllers attached. Indeed, this is what they did with the Switch Lite. For games that take advantage of joycon functionality, Nintendo could have sold something like an updated Switch version of the Wiimote as an optional accessory.

Do users who are happy with their Nintendo Switch have a favorable opinion of the joycons, or would you be happy without them?
I will push back on that. "India is about as diverse as southern or western europe for most dimension of diversity" is probably more fair. As diverse as europe, especially if you include the Balkans, southern europe, northern europe and "eastern" europe (in a large sense, including Georgia, and western Kazakstan), seems quite hard, for a subcontinent at least.
Show HN: I was tired of tab-switching in Postman, so I built this
Broadly speaking yes.

The goals of managers (and business in general) are profit maximization, and of course upselling exists exactly for that. And if a manager decided that we need to add another upselling screen then it's more or less futile to disagree from the position of a subordinate employee. The decision has been thought of and made.

Qatar publishes articles like this in order to distract and divert from its own slavery problem.

https://www.walkfree.org/global-slavery-index/findings/spotl...
But with no app store. (As a programmer, I never in a billion years would have invented the app store. Yet it was the most important component of the iphone ecosystem).
Retractions caused by honest mistakes are extremely stressful, say researchers
Yeah, that's also my main problem with the article. Otherwise great to prmote TSTs.

I think the TSTs should also contain the stacktrace. Not or X or Y, but both X and Y.
Maybe, though when I read those critically I suspect that it is more just time spent on something. Hunting rabbits with a sling requires fine motor skills as well, is that good enough (This is the most primitive, 'uneducated' task I can think of at the moment - there are plenty of others). How does learning violin compare? There are plenty of other possibilities that those arguments don't adequately address.
I'm a bit sad. They could at least make the controls a bit funny.
> I’m glad to see Nintendo found a form factor that’s kind of gimmicky that actually worked.

I don't quite understand this comment. Parents will be unable to tell the difference (like parents buying their kids Xbox One S when Xbox Series S came out, really bad naming increment with form factor so similar), and other comments here note this Switch 2 is a regression to less quirk.

What's the gimmicky part of this that caught your eye you feel like they found in Switch 2?
Certainly if you do not like PHP. However, if you wanted to use it there is no real reason not to.

My usage of PHP has been using software written by other people but customising - and there is a lot of useful stiff written in PHP. I prefer Python if doing something from scratch, but I would rather write a small amount of PHP to add a bit of functionality rather than write 10× the amount of Python because I need to write everything from scratch.
> To my knowledge, any switch OEM producing Broadcom-based gear will get their NDAs and silicon access revoked if they so much as dream about making devices with non-Broadcom silicon.

Cisco Meraki did; their low end switches are Marvell and their "high end" switches (MS420, MS425, MS450, MS350, MS355) were all Broadcom based. Were because about a year ago they announced the End of Sale of all Broadcom based switches.

Everything above the low end stuff is now Cisco Catalyst. (Although one can argue everything from Meraki is low end apart from their prices)

> Marvell and Microchip are fighting for the scraps

Realtek also. Lots of smaller L2 managed switches based on the RTL93xx series. [1]

But I am not seriously comparing Realtek to Tofino, that's like comparing Hot wheels to the actual car.

Nintendo is not Nintendo-y enough for a while now. The switch system UI is bland and on launch the gray switch was the one being presented.
You mean the Varangian Guard, personal security detail of the Emperor?

TL;DR: in the beginning mainly Kievan Rus and Norse (but apparently no Finns), later mainly Anglo-Saxons.
Yeah, that's why we have raised crosswalks and stop signs everywhere that a pedestrian has to interact with a car.

Or that we have safe and separated bike lanes instead of paint to keep cyclists safe, right?

Do you really think a pedestrian feels safe here with this design?

Its the same reason many dont walk places. Too many half passed attempts by people who don't care designing crosswalks and intersections for cars and not pedestrians.
Rocket engines are very complex machinery that's difficult and expensive to make. Reusing the rocket allows you to reuse the engine.

SpaceX has also managed to show that reused hardware can be more reliable than brand new hardware. You run the hardware through a number of tests before launch, but there is no better test than an actual launch. Satellites still cost a lot more than rockets, so reliability is a big deal
At least someone is setting limits, Biden noted in his farewell address how America is being shaped by oligarchs which has echos of Eisenhower's farewell address warning of the forming of a 'military-industrial complex'.
"More recently" meaning, of course, currently.
Feels like your view is "whatever we do is okay, as long as we can point to someone else doing worse". Is that what you are saying?

> its an obvious threat vector that drones made in China have the opportunity to phone home data and with the increased use of drones in industrial settings there are real risks to be thought about.

Okay, let's take drones. Can you articulate concretely one of those "obvious threat vectors"? For instance, a DJI drone does not come with an Internet connection magically embedded into it. So you can be completely offline while you fly your mission.

Are you scared that the drone may save a 4K video in a hidden storage, and then upload GBs of it when you connect it to the Internet without you having a chance to see it? Why not instructing government operators to only connect through a router that filters the network? And that would be on top of the DJI Local Data mode that you don't have to trust.

Or are you scared that the drone may store few bytes of critical information? What would that be, a location? Why wouldn't the CCP just hack the smartphone of the employee, e.g. using something like NSO Pegasus (which is western technology, but I won't call any irony there)?

If it is obvious, please explain the national security threat caused by DJI drones that couldn't be solved with a simple external firewall.
This is a classic McDonalds counter: https://c8.alamy.com/comp/D3A1A6/dpa-customers-of-the-us-fas...

behind the counter-guy, in that wide silver opening, is a black plastic slope with with burgers queuing up. The cooks are constantly cooking, even when nobody has ordered anything, and that means they can get the efficiency boost of making 5 Big Macs at the same time - laying out 5 boxes, 5 buns, 5 patties cooking, etc. - and with no customer waiting on them, there need be no immediate rush[1]. The cashier only picks one up and puts it on your tray, much less than 60 seconds and no stress[1]. Contrast with Subway where the cashier has to assemble one custom sandwich at a time while the customer and queue of waiting people all watch (stressor); they can not get custom sandwiches into muscle memory, or the efficiency of doing several at once (slow), and the cashier delaying for a moment doesn't relieve pressure by letting the buffer fill, it just adds more pressure.

If McDonalds is now taking 5-10 minutes for a typical order, what has gone wrong with their fast-food-factory-production-line design?

[1] Maybe it isn't actually low stress or no-rush in McDonalds, but that design of food service could be.

For action games doesn't look like a good option. But i think it will be used if it works well on any surface.

Probably there will be a resurgence of point and click adventure games pushed by the new mouse functionality (or even republish some old sierra/lucas arts stuff with mouse support).

Also may be useful for pc ports like simcity clones and strategy games (i could use that in civ).

Some propietary nintendo stuff will use it like mario maker or wario ware, some zelda dungeon probably will have a gimmick around it. And also some small indy third party stuff, like i don't know, mini motorways, things like that, will be built arround it.
I think we can see the same thing happening today.

BYD+CATL are the new iphone and other manufacturers are Symbian, Motorola and Sony Ericsson

VW, Toyota and friends cannot change fast enough. They should have started with big battery investments 10-15y ago and RnDing then, not now when Market is flooded.
Expand on this please?

In my PhD I did study systems in higher dimensions (including fractal dimensions) and it is not a metaphor and no, I did not visualize them, it was more like defining a mathematical representation of the system geometry and working on top of it.
"Super Switch" would've been pretty bad-ass.
> And I wish Biden had done a better job of supporting Israel

What a weird take. Without Biden's support of Israel this genocide would not have been possible. How do you mean it should have supported Israel more? Allow these psychopats to nuke Gaza?

Improve Rust Compile Time by 108X
During the last iteration of CubeCL, we refactored the matrix multiplication GPU kernel to work with many different configurations and element types.

The goal was to improve performance and flexibility by using Tensor cores when available, performing bounds checks when necessary, supporting any tensor layout without any new allocation to transpose the matrices beforehand, and implementing many improvements.

The performance is greatly improved, and now it works better with many different matrix shapes. However, I think we created an atrocity in terms of compilation speed. Simply compiling a few matmul kernels, using incremental compilation, took close to 2 minutes.

So we fixed it! I took the time to write a blog post with our solutions, since I believe this can be useful to Rust developers in general, even if the techniques might not be applicable to your projects.

Feel free to ask any questions here, about the techniques, the process, the algorithms, CubeCL, whatever you want!
It's not a hard job to check out any single customer's groceries. It's a hard job to do it all day, especially when you're not allowed to sit down.
I think this is because it is kinda an iteration instead of a totally new wild gimmick.
Yeah, definitely—it's my favorite thing about the company. Well, maybe second to their consistent level of quality. But seriously—the Labo piano used the IR camera to scan in waveforms to create new instruments. The VR kit had an elephant trunk mask to let you move around parts in a marble run game. Nintendo has a lot of wild experiments, and Labo takes that all to the next level.

And that's not getting into the quality of software for building the kits—way beyond any instructions that Lego has ever put out.
I just saw this. This is probably most useless feature probably nobody asked for except for marketing, to be able to claim they have AI email blah blah.

This is getting tiresome.
Same, but for me it was names in bang paths, the only one I seem to still be able to remember is ihnp4 (Indian Hills, Naperville)
In hindsight it is funny that Apple used someone with very big hands holding the first iPhone in their 2007 ads to make it look smaller. Nobody at that time could imagine that phones would only get bigger.
> On July 3, 2014, the former Technical Director of the NSA, William Binney, who had become a whistleblower after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, testified to the committee. He said that the NSA has a totalitarian approach that has previously only been known from dictatorships and that there is no longer such a thing as privacy.

But no, there is absolutely no reason to think that the US may be doing corporate espionage /s.
HDR, other dynamic lighting things like raytracing, and ability to have lots of characters on screen.

Compare any Mario game to Astrobot and you can see the difference.
I think they're fine when mounted, but I use a the pro controller. Using them individually when you have people over sucks, but it's a neat way to turn one controller into two, so I can't throw too much hate.

That's if we're ignoring the absurd drift their sticks have that Nintendo has seemingly never fixed. I hope to god they fixed them in this next gen console.
No doubt it’s harder to write structured code and assertions against a string stacktrace, but as a human reading it, the information is immensely valuable.
I assumed that web servers handle date variables in this age. But you're absolutely right, we can't assume that.
There needs to be generalized a term for NIMBYs for resisting various solutions to a number of issues because this pattern in liberal democracies around the planet isn’t exactly helping anyone make progress on the more core issues these folks seem to also be interested in.
To provide fonts for N different scripts would multiply the file size by roughly N, and there are a lot of scripts in common use:

Variable fonts would help, but I don't think it would be enough, especially if the goal is to provide a wide selection of fonts.

There have been 11 Falcon Heavy launches (as I said in my comment) in the almost 6 years since the first flight (February 2018), roughly 2 per year. There were almost 150 Falcon 9 launches in 2024 alone.

What else would you call this than "not a lot of demand"?
Pretty simple formula, there simply isn't a market for an $x upcharge on mail and docs, but we have to be part of this latest grift so we'll charge everyone $x - y which is a rounding error. Except it's not. At some point someone is going to admit they have bet the farm on improved auto complete.
I'm generally in favour of the joycons as a concept. They make multiplayer party games a breeze.

But the execution in the Switch 1 is flawed. They're on the small side, and generally fiddly. If the joycons for the Switch 2 are larger and just more ergonomic then I think it'll be a win.

EDIT: the joycons also being little motion wands was also quite good. You don't need a separate accessory like on the other consoles. Overall the joycon is a neat little package of functionality, if imperfect.
Oh. That brings so much into perspective. They wouldn't cannibalize their own sales, so someone else did. Classic. How deeply Kodak of them.

Your scenario makes me suspecting that it is Xilinx flavored Yocto causing the problem. I think that removing some unused Xilinx-specific layers/recipes can reduce the prologue and epilogue execution time.

Happy to see that Nintendo is treating the switch more like how they traditionally handled their mobile platforms instead of their consoles.

Iterating instead of throwing out everything with each new version. There is a part of me that is going to miss the, do weird shit and see what works, Nintendo that brought us some really fun ideas. But a stable Nintendo just being able to continue putting out great games has its advantages.

I am curious about the specs, but honestly don't care much. The only real issue the Switch had was being able to keep up with some of the games put on it with FPS but it still had beautiful games (like Tears of the Kingdom). So as long as it is actually a decent spec bump I am happy and have zero care to compare it to the other consoles (but I am sure people are going too and scream that it is "underpowered").

The biggest thing I am curious about, will it be OLED since that will be disappointing to go back to non OLED from the OLED Switch. And Price.
It's really hard to define slavery. I don't see any difference between indentured servitude and modern student loans. If a bank is projecting your future earning potential and how risky you are when deciding whether to give you a loan in student loans, mortgages, credit card ... How is that any different from slavery? They're literally projecting if you can pay off a loan amortized over ~30 years.

The Trans-Atlantic slave trade was a very brutal form of slavery. Slavery existed in many forms throughout history and I don't think our current iteration of "employment" and lending is very different from many of slavery's historical forms
I more meant like now you can bot word or story type multiplayer games too e.g. if you were designing a codenames or a mafia style party game or something. 95% of the time though ya you are just doing basic AI logic, go towards objective, attack nearby enemies, avoid nearby danger, etc
Maybe, or is that another thing that belongs to the replication crisis? Is it just cursive or is regular printing good enough? Is it hand writing or would learning to hunt with a sling also work? That article should bring a lot of questions of validity to mind and thus reasons to question if it is real or not. (of course the article is not the preponderance for scientific studies which I don't have access to)
I love the Lite but it was kneecapped by not having video output.
They have quality issues with stick drift, and the "single joycon as controller" setup is clearly designed for child-sized hands, but it's definitely an advantage to be able to play the system handheld but also have minimal extra to pack (just the rails widget) if I want to put it on a train table on the kickstand and the use the controllers more ergonomically.

And I mean, if you have kids, being able to double your controllers when they have friends around is also helpful to avoid arguments.
Elop was the trojan horse that killed Nokia. He worked at MSFT prior to this and single handedly destroyed Nokia. The N9 was revolutionary on its own; GPU accelerated UI, sleek looks, Maemo OS, it is a device people would actually want over the limping Symbian that never fully adapted to touch-only, or the useless Windows Phone 7.

No developer dared to touch Maemo because its future was so uncertain due to the switch to WP. My dad was one of the early Lumia adopters and it was so limiting in what it can do.
Also looks like, Nokia worked on this archive intensively starting 2023. Seems like a whole retrospective project. Amazingly inspiring.
My sister is a mathematican and she used to say that if you want to understand a 24-dimensional space, you start from a generalized n-dimensional space and then set n=24.

This wasn't atypical of her. She would also say that if your house is on fire then you call the firefighters, but if it is not on fire then you set it on fire, thereby reducing the problem to something that you have already solved.
I'm glad they finally learned to use sensible names. I guess it took the failure of the Wii U for them to realize they should just keep it simple if they want to be sure it's easy for consumers to understand what the product is.
Pretty sure there was some sort of App Store.

It didn’t have a hell of a lot in it, but I remember grabbing a cute little game (hex-a-hop) and … maybe an Angry Birds demo on it?

— edit - I’m thinking of the N900
They're nicer for a quick game of Mario Party or other casual game because you can just tear them off the system and have two players, but I wouldn't want to play anything serious with them.
