It’s weird how invisible tennis is on television in Europe.

I was traveling in Spain and Italy last year when Roland Garros was on, which included major highlights like Nadal’s (likely) last ever match there and strong performances from European players like Alcaraz, Sinner, Tsitsipas and Zverev (indeed almost all of the current top ten men are European).

But it was only on the pay channel EuroSport, which many homes (and thus Airbnbs) don’t seem to have, and was only available for us in one upmarket hotel in Spain we stayed in for an indulgence for one night.

So the tournament promoters may be making the calculation that if the current TV rights holders aren’t ultimately getting many eyeballs watching their events, they need to do other things to build/maintain the profile of the sport with a view to one day offering it only via the internet (particularly if broadcast TV continues to decline and the networks can no longer afford large rights deals).
"Reality" in this case would be a cryptographically relevant Quantum Computer, as predicted by current Quantum Mechanical calculations which use these 2^n-dimensional Hilbert Spaces he mentions.

Are you complaining because the phrase "free as in beer" is too clear? I don't understand your position at all.
You’ve totally misunderstood me - probably my fault; sorry.

There is no trickle-down happening here: *these issues will be fixed directly in FOSS synapse, which is the core project*. They are nothing to do with rust worker implementations in Synapse Pro, and FOSS will get them first. The only reason they haven’t been fixed before is due to the freerider nightmare meaning there hasn’t been $ to fund the work.

FOSS Synapse has had Rust in it for years now: https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/tree/develop/rust/src

> Your own blog post about the pro version (and the one about forking synapse) basically said that you wouldn't be working on the community version at all anymore?

WHAT?! It’s the opposite! We’re trying to fund the FOSS dev!! Where did it say that?!
> domain names are owned

Are they really owned? I’ve always thought they’re [f]actually merely temporarily leased from a registry, and the ownership is just a legal fiction.

Unlike cryptographic keys, I don’t think domain names really pass the “can they be taken away without owner’s consent?” test. On paper maybe they should, but that’s certainly not how it is in reality.

Attaching digital identity to something that comes from a third party (a registry) rather than individual themselves is a fundamentally wrong idea.
Thank you for shipping this. Need to test it but going to add this to the deps bundle for my deployment service (relies heavily on systemd). Looks like it would make day to day maintenance/debugging far less of a headache.
Ask HN: Is yarn still a thing for frontend dev in 2025?
Yarn 2.0 seems to have failed because all the projects I've seen using Yarn are still on Yarn 1.0. It's slow and glitchy, and I feel quite uneasy using it. I switched to either npm or pnpm for all my projects about three years ago, and the number of errors I've encountered has significantly decreased compared to when I was using Yarn. So, my question is: Is Yarn still a thing for frontend development in 2025?
4 should be enough for anybody.
This is such a great idea. Very original, at least as far as I'm aware. Kinda nice to see something like this in today's cynical world.
Or you can build a DistilBERT model and get your egregiously inefficient 2 seconds down to tens of milliseconds.
The way I think of it comes from the old ME degree I got. You can analyze assemblies by the number of degrees of freedom. Three degrees of freedom, like three linkages pinned at the corners is a triangle and the relative positions of each element are fixed.

Four axis, like a square pinned at the corners if you know the relative position of two elements you know the position of the others. This is the basis for most traditional machines.

Five axis is floppy. And usually avoided traditionally.

The synergy drive is a five axis machine mechanically. But has two electric motor generators. By varying the speed of the motors you can control the gear ratio of the mechanical path. Since the motor speeds are indignantly variable so is the mechanical path. You end up with continuously variable transmission with a mechanical power path and an electric one in parallel. And it doesn't suck like pure mechanical ones.

Totally genius.

Funnily enough the Cloudflare blog identifies Perplexity engaging in dodgy practices to avoid robots.txt denylists:

We’ve monitored this activity over time, and we’re proud to say that our global machine learning model has always recognized this activity as a bot, even when operators lie about their user agent.

Clearly not working too well.
Is there a level of fidelity at which the animated character becomes an issue? Are we going to be seeing unreal engine powered photorealistic characters before this loophole is closed?

Does the rights holder have to specify that the motion data is not acceptable for rebroadcast?

On the surface this seems like a cheap abuse of loopholes and any broadcast partner would be looking at them askance and consulting contacts and lawyers...
Feedbin as a backend and Reeder Classic on Mac and iOS for Reading. I'm pretty satisfied with that setup.

One does not really need a backend, but I have far too many feeds, plus Feedbin has a email feature which transforms newsletters into feeds. Also nice: Since this year there is a feature for broken feeds: Feedbin does some URL spelunking as to find a different URL on the same domain.

I use Reeder Classic instead of last years "New Reeder" because they have different paradigms: Classic has the bookmark folder with numbers structure, whereas the new Reeder has timeline/River of News paradigm without read/unread bits. That works for social media, but not for my case of subscribing to blogs which publish seldom. The author has promised to keep Reeder Classic current for the time being. Fingers crossed.

If Reeder Classic goes dead I either look into Unread or NetNewswire. The latter would be a homecoming – NNW was my first Feedreader back in 2003 or so. If Feedbin goes dead, I'd look maybe into a self-hosted backend or go backend-less.
It’s not a prerequisite for using the DOM from wasm.

See, for example, the rust web frameworks of leptos and dioxus. They’re honestly great, and usable today as replacements for react and friends. (With the single caveat that wasm bundle size is a bit bigger than .js size).

They work by exposing a number of browser methods through to wasm, and then they call them through a custom wasm/JS API bridge. All rust objects and DOM objects are completely isolated. Rust objects are allocated via an embedded malloc implementation and JS objects are managed by V8 (or whatever). but the DOM can still be manipulated via (essentially) message passing over an RPC like interface.

But the rust code needs to compile malloc specially for wasm. This is ok in rust - malloc is 75kb or something. But in languages like C#, Go or Python, the runtime GC is much bigger and harder to fit in a little wasm bundle.

The upside of wasm-gc is that this divide goes away. Objects are just objects, shared between both languages. So wasm bundles can use & reference JS/DOM objects directly. And wasm programs can piggyback on V8’s GC without needing to ship their own. This is good in rust, and great in GC languages. I saw an example with blazor where a simple C# wasm todo app went from 2mb or something to 10kb when wasmgc was used.

TLDR: wasm-gc isn’t strictly needed. You can use DOM from wasm today. It just makes wasm bundles smaller and wasm-dom interaction easier (and theoretically faster).
yup, in which case this is a simple corporate issue. what does one care about what windows bundles together if this is OS and software provided to you for work?! if I was insane enough to work for such a company (am not) I would want them to bundle 100 things together, pile it on - flight attendant to the copilot to the copilot… :)
You’re not being attacked. The comment is in reply not just to your, but to all similar sentiments here. Your ‘ability to classify videos as real or fake’ (heh, funny AI tech phrase

-- but also why assume our ‘ability’ would be the same? We are different people, made different, with different prior data, we would feel differently about it, right? Why would you think not, heh? You’d be wrong if you assumed people react in the same way. Back to the point:) --

your ‘ability’ is also not somehow being judged.

You expressed a feeling in response to it. Okay, good. Now imagine how much harder a time you will have with real videos of UFOs when even cutting conventional engineering looks fake.

That’s the point. Are we clear?

Think you nailed TikTok's magic sauce, that algorithm finely balances the ghettoization of most traditional social networks and the "you might like this" randomness that feels like it's two-steps of interest away from your usual feed. Any regular user will see that pattern of 10-15 things that fit a pattern, and then a couple of very clear pieces of tracer content that expands and reinforces your own FYP.

It shows an understanding and adoption of risk that most western social networks don't have, while they're too invested in supporting and reinforcing the status quo, TikTok has always felt a little more willing to find the edges of/expand your interests.
Unless you're looking at the writing, that is.

> Are you indicating that Cloudflare's implementation isn't truly fully post quantum secure because of lagging certificate standards/technology?

Yes, although I wouldn't say "truly" because they haven't intimated that it is. I'm not claiming any malfeasance on Cloudflare's part: they have been very explicit about the fact that the PQ components deployed so far are only in the key exchange. Bas Westerbaan has a great post on the Cloudflare blog about the state of PQ in 2024.
Why should Americans care what the Chinese government thinks of them and their video-watching choices? What are they going to do about it, all the way over on the other side of the planet? If you worry that you might have watched or said something which "hurt the feelings of the Chinese people", you can just stay home and refrain from going there, like most of us were always going to do anyway.

I am far more concerned about being monitored and influenced by a domestic government, because they have power where I live, and they can wreck my life anytime they want to.
What is this slop? The title would seem to imply that they survived because they're vintage (I.e. not plastic). In reality, the "article" is just a series of photos of old cars in front of burned out landscapes. Also, each caption is mostly the same wall of text. There's also no reporter or editorial credits, so this really reeks of AI generated disaster porn. At least the photographer was credited?
Wasm GC also solved the problem of reference cycles between objects in disparate heap managers leading to memory leaks. It's not just a performance or size win: it's a correctness win.
My cousin also submitted a bid to merge with TikTok, not sure why that’s not being reported on?!?
FWIW, I think I understand Kalman filters quite well, but the linked PDF is hard for me to follow, and I'd really struggle to understand it if I didn't already know what it's saying.

I think the lesson there is that the Kalman filter is simpler in the "information form" where the Gaussian distribution is parameterized using the inverse of the covariance matrix.

If you don't already know what that means, you likely don't get much out of that. I think the more intuitive way is to first understand the 1D case where the filter result is weighted average of the prediction and the observation where the weights are the multiplicative inverses of the respective variances (the less uncertainty/"inprecision", the more you give weight).

In the multidimensional case the inverse is the matrix inverse but the logic is the same.

More generally the idea is to statistically predict the next step from the previous and then balance out the prediction and the noisy observation based on the confidence you have in each. This intuition covers all Bayesian filters. The Kalman filter is a special case of the Bayesian filter where the prediction is linear and all uncertainties are Gaussian, although it was understood this way only well after Kalman invented the eponymous filter.

Not sure how intuitive that's either, but don't be too worried if these things aren't obvious, because they aren't until you know all the previous steps. To implement or use a Kalman filter you don't really need this statistical understanding.

If you prefer to understand things more "procedually", check out the particle filter. It's conceptually the Bayesian filter but doesn't require the mathematical analysis. That's the way I really understood the underlying logic.

The proliferation of charity and community bookshops is substantially the product of tax policy. Commercial property is taxed at ~50% of the nominal rental value, but charities are substantially or wholly exempt from this tax. Importantly, this tax is owed regardless of whether the property is occupied; for a commercial landlord, it is therefore preferable to lease a unit to a charity at a peppercorn rent if the unit is expected to remain vacant for some time. This has had a profound effect on the makeup of retail tenants, particularly in small towns with high vacancy rates, which some argue amounts to a harmful market distortion.
I found this article invaluable for understanding the Kalman filter from a Bayesian perspective:

in the mid 80's i ran into something similar. Fast is relative.

I had a lot of data, 640KB RAM, 64KB of heap, and 64KB of stack. I had hundreds of megabytes that I had to search extract data from and then combine some of them.

I experimented with data index structured into ternary trees. Conceptually it made sense, but implementation-wise the relationships and paths were still too big to keep in 64KB.

Instead of compression, I did swapping. I wrote a TSR (think service), a piece of code that would process a chunk of the data, extract the results, store it n the stack, dump the original data, make an interrupt call to the TSR, which in turn destroy the heap, and read in the next chunk from storage, return control to the program, process, combine with stack data, and continue until finished the entire process.

Originally this process took about a week for three data entry persons (think about a dozen 3" ring binders filled with tables), and an specialist combining the information. The program completed the work in just a few hours. It was amazingly "fast".

This was on a single threaded system.

> The fact that Intel managed to get them lined up for small loops to do 9x effective instruction issue is basically miraculous IMO

Not just small loops. It can reach 9x instruction decode on almost any control flow pattern. It just looks at the next 3 branch targets and starts decoding at each of them. As long as there is a branch every 32ish instructions (presumably a taken branch?), Skymont can keep all three uop queues full and Rename/dispatch can consume uops at a sustained rate of 8 uops per cycle.

And in typical code, blocks with more than 32 instructions between branches are somewhat rare.

But Skymont has a brilliant trick for dealing with long runs of branchless code too: It simply inserts dummy branches into the branch predictor, breaking them into shorter blocks that fit into the 32 entry uop queues. The 3 decoders will start decoding the long block at three different positions, leap-frogging over each-other until the entire block is decoded and stuffed into the queues.

This design is absolutely brilliant. It seems to entirely solve the issue decoding X86, with far less resources than a uop cache. I suspect the approach will scale to almost unlimited numbers of decoders running in parallel, shifting the bottlenecks to other parts of the design (branch prediction and everything post decode)

Why 2 days? Machine Learning took over the NLP space 10-15 years ago, so the comparison is between small, performant task-specific models versus LLMs. There is no reason to believe the "traditional" NLP pipelines are inherently slower than Large Language Models, and they aren't.

Don't wanna name names, because it's on me, it's a miracle it exists, and works.

I don't think there's a significant # of alternatives, so hopefully Flutter syntax highlighting library, as used in a package for making markdown columns, is enough to be helpful.

Problem was some weird combo of lots of regex and an absolutely huge amount of code. It's one of those problems it's hard for me to draw many conclusions from:

- Flutter may be using browser APIs for regex, so there's some sort of JS/WASM barrier copying cost

- The markdown column renderer is doing nothing at all to handle this situation lazily, i.e. if any portion of the column is displayed, syntax highlighting must be done on the complete markdown input

- Each different color text, so pretty much every word, gets its own object in the view hierarchy, tens if not hundreds of thousands this case. Can't remember if this is due to the syntax highlighting library or the markdown package

- Regex is used to parse to code and for all I know one of them has pathological performance like backtracking unintentionally.
