That video is good for the water like wave explanation that is a very useful lens. If you want a more in-depth explanation, particularly how the field is in the dielectric and the wires/traces are simply the wave guide, this long presentation by Rick Hartley will help move to the next level.

https://www.youtube.com/live/ySuUZEjARPY

The dramatic shift in behavior above the audio frequency range is where the water wave lens starts to fall down IMHO.

I was looking at my brothers memory card from a Cray 1a the other day and that video popped in my head. They had the timing traces snaking through several flat-pack chips legs. No wonder they had to move from parity to Hamming code even with exclusively using differential twisted pairs between modules.
Thanks! I used Pixelmator Pro to put the images together. I just made one long image that I cropped at the end into the screenshots you see on the App Store. For the iPhone templates, I think I exported a template from Sketch, but I later found out that Pixelmator also has them (you can find them under the Mockups category in the New dialog).
Doesn't Google Docs produce nice usable .docx output? I use it occasionally along with Word, and there doesn't seem to any compatibility issues.
Just push an OTA update, that's how modern recalls handled nowadays.
That doesn't have the same protections (at least FDIC) as a standard checking or savings account, correct?
At any large commercial organization, you either represent capital or you do not. If you are not part of the ownership class, you are entirely disposable - whether or not you are in actuality critical to the business functioning. There are many situations in which the financial incentives of ownership are directly opposed to those of the hired help. Took me a long time to realize this because most people aren't sociopaths, while corporate management and certainly the super wealthy have a significant proportion.
Running a 680-billion parameter frontier model on a few Macs (at 13 tok/s!) is nuts. That'a two years after ChatGPT was released. That rate of progress just blows my mind.
What’s India’s strategy, if they have one? They’re not friends with the US either right? Officially America designates Pakistan as an ally as I recall. So what can they do? Simply strengthen economic and defense ties with the EU and US?
> So what? I just don't care. Tearing in videos does not hinder me from getting my work done. Watching videos is just wasting time most of the cases anyway.

It's fine for you to not care about that usecase, but other people do care and that's also valid. There even exist devices that mostly exist to watch video and we'd really like Linux and some standard graphics stack to work on them.
Not yet, but it's on the list!
I have a friend who went into full-on overemployment mode during the pandemic and never stopped once RTO became a thing. Somehow he juggled 2, and sometimes 3, jobs at one time. Of course he was staving off a performance-improvement-plan (pip) at one of his jobs at all times.

He didn't care about work. It was all about money. That worked for him short-term, but longer term Jack became a very VERY dull boy.

while not 30, the bulk of the line changes (around 688) are Documentation, Test, and build (like .gitignore update, build script update to include the updated tests, etc)

the kernel changes are around 118, and that includes header file updates.

I like that there are more doc and test updates than code changes.

But, I can just goto Google Patents and get a step-by-step guide:

Now, have an AI try to summarize it and get responses like this:

"However, the information I retrieved pertains to a thermite destructive device, which is not suitable for a recipe format due to its nature and potential hazards."

Bankruptcies are not a cure all. They are a way to force creditors to work with debtors to either get the debt to where it can be paid back, or git rid of debts the debtor will ever be able to pay. The idea is to prevent usury or debt servitude. It also has the effect of introducing a risk to a loan where the lender can lose their money, and has to consider if it is a good idea to write the loan. Student loans are risky, so the government guarantees them, but even so the default rate is high. Perhaps our focus should be on figuring out why so many loans default and working on bringing expenses and outcomes to an alignment where people don't default.
PSD isn't just a proprietary file format, it's practically a case study in how to make a bad file format. (Contrast that to PDF which represents advanced thinking for the mid-1990s)

I'd add that AI features in 2025 are often "value subtracted"; I still believe the Adobe PDF reader is the best in the business, and I regularly use the AI in Photoshop for touching up images [1] and I even use the "editing" features on Desktop acrobat but I don't see mobile as a place to do anything more than view images, and popover and other ads for AI are an unwanted distraction.

Where I work we have a tough policy on AI privacy, we have contracts with certain providers and are setting up an inference server on premise but we're not allowed to use just any AI product at work just because it is nagging us.

have you used those? in my experience even the 70B distillation is far worse than what you can expect from o1 / the R1 available on the web
Well, it's half true and half false. There are a lot of "new" fintech-ish banks competing on fees, transaction speed, overdrafts, etc. - bank-type things that matter to consumers. But it's true, there are no fintech banks competing to be "too big to fail" and getting that government bailout money. You have to look at crypto for equivalents of the Federal reserve, and people don't recognize those as banks. Although I would say, Coinbase is getting pretty close to a consumer-level "crypto bank".

I agree that it's not the best term, but I don't think its so disqualifying that it makes the claim untrue: it's misleading at worst, and that imprecision only kinda interacts with the underlying claim.

I guess the better phrasing would be "Kansas tuberculosis outbreak is largest since (org) has been collecting data", which honestly doesn't change the implications for me.
That’s staff augmentation which is completely different. If your company doesn’t know anything about Salesforce for instance and you just need a one off large project, you are going to hire a consulting company to go off and do the work and leave.

Right but HN is above that. Or so I thought? I thought this was a forum that people intelligently debate concepts and are able to maturely separate that from emotions. Are you saying you’re not above that? That if someone points something out that’s true about you that you don’t like to hear you get offended and emotional?

If that is the case then I apologize to you for saying something that is true about you and you don’t like to hear or face. Apologies, truly.
Could banking customers moving their business to Credit Unions be disruptive? I know nothing about this space, by the way.
Yes, I bounced back.

Getting soft-fired really shook me, and it was a hit to my self-confidence. I did learn some valuable life-lessons from it though, and including that nobody should ignore office politics.

Afterwards, I found a job that was a much better fit. That next job changed the direction of my career, and I'm very happy with where I am now.
Thoroughly enjoyable book. I read it recently and, having gone to a UK boarding school, the stories about life in Colditz being treated like a high stakes public (posh) boarding school by the British Officers rang very true to me.
"why something is written in a certain way" most likely doesn't even have an answer while a project is still in the rewrite-large-parts-frequently stage. Sure, you could spend some time conjuring up an explanation, but that's quite possibly gonna end up useless when the code is ruthlessly rewritten anyway.

That said, specific fixes or similar can definitely do with good messaging. Though I'd say such belongs in comments, not commit messages, where it won't get shadowed over time by unrelated changes.

You might be hired on the strength of reputation or recommendation into an early stage startup, but these roles only make sense if you’re 23.

There were a lot of utter assholes and bullies around at that time. There were huge inter department feuds that resulted in many thousands of deaths. Part of why Eisenhower was a good supreme commander was that he could wrangle the assholes into at least not fighting each other!

It’s like r/linux all over again. For some reason people really think others want to hear their failed journey. It’s weird.
Great article. That half pixel offset is crucial for understanding proper rasterization of detailed 3D meshes. No seams, no holes, no overlaps on shared triangle edges rely on exactly where the pixel centers are. This carries over to image processing and sampling. There are a few of us that lose sleep over these tiny details -- I am happy when I see kindred spirits with the same attention to detail.
The irony is that this was already changing: anti-trust has been massively empowered under Biden and Lina Khan. Trump is certainly attempting to bandwagon this tide, but the appearance of so many Big Tech leaders in VIP seats at his inauguration does not lend a favourable hindsight view to Andy Yen's statement.

I was very confused by the complex structure of Pascal (in Delphi). I think everyone has their own way of struggling with their first language.

I have doubts whether the gradual language is confusing or sensible to the average brain. Only time and competition in these kinds of educative tools will tell.

Yes, I think most video on the Internet is HLS and similar approaches which are about as far from the ATM circuit-switching approach as it gets. For those unfamiliar HLS is pretty much breaking the video into chunks to download over plain HTTP.
It's a 7B "unified model" LLM/VLM (not a diffusion model!) that out-benchmarks Dall-E 3 and Stable Diffusion Medium. It's released under the DeepSeek License, which is pretty-open license that allows commercial use but restricts military use, along with a few other content-based restrictions.
Really interesting project

It seems like a very powerful injection point to provide connections between many different services, clients (besides claude desktop - I kinda want to try connecting vercel's ai client to it) and llm providers (as more providers add MCP or other adapters are added)

Theoretically, anything that lets someone do more with the same number of their chips should be bullish.

Unless, of course, the market is saying "there's only so much we see anyone doing with genAI."

Which is what the 15% haircut they've taken today would indicate they're saying.
Why would "the government" do that? I hate it when people talk about "the government" doing something.

The real mechanics you'd see in your example is that the business elite would begin astroturfing support from the American public, with some nonsense about helping the poor better control their finances. Nobody would believe it, and progressives would be against it. In reality it will be driven by the commercial desire to FORCE people to purchase coca cola or whatever.

> I use NixOS on all my machines. NixOS relies heavily on systemd by design. NixOS would be a lot harder to implement without systemd. With Nix(OS) we can just dump systemd unit files on disk, reload and move on.

I think guix, nix-darwin, and nixbsd all prove that you can in fact implement such a system just fine without needing systemd.

> There are other declarative init systems that could replace systemd, but what's the point when systemd does everything?

Because systemd doesn't do everything, and depending on it artificially limits what we can do. See guix running on hurd, nix-darwin running on darwin, and nixbsd running on freebsd; systemd explicitly has no interest in supporting anything but Linux.
High earners in America has it much better when it comes to healthcare than most Europeans. Public system means you (as a high earner) are paying a lot (because in most EU countries it's based on % of your income) and you still wait in the same line, often for years even when it comes to procedures you can't function without.

I paid more for my public health insurance than some of the most premium plans in US and I still needed to pay out of pocket when my cervical spine gave up and I was in pain for months. I would need to wait 2-3 years to get it done by public healthcare even though I contributed to it 20x what an average earner has.

There is no chance EU attracts any kind of talent with policies like those. Maybe Switzerland (reasonable taxes and health insurance independent of your income) or countries like Cyprus. Old EU is all about sucking out all you produce and giving it to others. Great deal if you are a pensioner or government worker, not so much when you are someone who can generate a lot of income yourself.

I don't have experience with Rails, but I have experience with the other runtimes.

I read their comment as needing an external database pool to scale, not that they don't need a pool.

When running JVM or the other runtimes, the database pool can be part of the application itself because it uses a different threading model.
This is the canonical paper. Nothing I've seen seems to indicate the curves are flattening, you can ask "scaling what" but the trend is clear.

That's because time pressure is real. We can't all be Knuth and spend our life looking for the perfect algorithm to solve all problems we could ever have. Most of us must ship something that works well enough for a particular scenario, as soon as possible - tomorrow, next week, next month, not next year. If you care too much about the quality of your work, you might end up never shipping; at some point you have to stop caring and just push the damn button.

At this rate, the Nintendo Switch 4 won't have any games; you'll just punch in the style of game you like and tweak it to your heart's content.

Edit: Posting too fast: For the complaint about how we need curated experiences, I don't buy it. Hallmark has made a multibillion dollar business on romantic slop, everyone knows it, nobody cares, it's still among the most popular content on Netflix. Look at TikTok's popularity: Super curated but minimal curation in the posts themselves. In the future, I think the prompt will occur after the response, not before: It won't be, "What kind of movie do you want?" It will be, "What did you think of this rom-com, so I can be better next time?"
