Worse, it has changed content rules and semantics in backward-incompatible ways. Meaning there are pages out there that used to be valid, but aren't anymore. And since HTML spills to EPub specs, I recall there were EPubs or EPub spec examples/test suites themselves having to change specifically, epubcheck being actually used for validation and hence directly noting this backward incompatibility.

In a nutshell, hgroup was originally criticized and rejected when W3C was still redacting HTML specs received from the loose group of browser devs and other people calling themselves "WHAT working group" because it paired headings of multiple ranks in a way that confused assistive technologies in browsers. But the first (and at the same time the last;) W3C HTML recommenndation created as unredacted WHAT WG spec snapshot under the W3C/WHATWG "memorandum of understanding" actually smuggled hgroup in. Then Steve Faulkner removed HTML outlining and the whole concept of sectioning roots that was part of Ian Hickson's vision of "HTML 5" for the longest time, but W3C never actually started a new recommendation process afterwards, and the charter for the HTML WG at W3C, Inc. has ended last year. See details at [1].

Arguably, with this change in 2023, we're now post-HTML5. But don't tell the people believing in a single "HTML 5 standard".

Because it's roughly on par with OpenAI's o1 which is not something the gigantic and extremely lavishly resourced GenAI org at Meta has managed to even come close to so far. And DeepSeek's non-CoT model, DeepSeek V3 makes LLaMA4 irrelevant. And they've achieved both of these feats at a small fraction of the overall cost. You can bet there's a lot of panic at Meta and elsewhere. There's no quick fix. Truth in engineering always prevails in the end.

China had a bit of a freak out when the pandemic first started and pretty much silenced everyone close to the lab and kept everyone else out. It was until months/years later that China started allowing chosen data out, and who knows the truthfulness of it.

Agree. With patterns like this you are leaning on your db server’s CPU - among your most scarce resources - versus doing this work on the client on a relatively cheap app server. At query time your app server knows if $2 or $3 or $4 is null and can elide those query args. Feels bad to use a fast language like Rust on your app servers and then your perf still sucks because your single DB server is asked to contemplate all possibilities on queries like this instead of doing such simple work on your plentiful and cheap app servers.

Honestly I think I prefer openness, although I'll admit it's hard to be precise about what's ok and what isn't. In the spirit of free speech, "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." At the same time, defending somebody's right to speech does _not_ mean that individuals can't embargo / "cancel" that person -- I think this behavior is itself speech of a sort.

What would you change about the present situation? I feel that public protest is roughly all that can be allowed in response to speech (ie, speech in response to speech). Surely he shouldn't be jailed/fined/doxxed for this speech? What more should be allowed? Or is it just that the public protest isn't as strong as you'd want?
For established software where performance matters, hand-writing the SQL is reasonable.

Hand-writing SQL for, say, a faceted filtering UI is a tedious job that takes most of a day in even fairly simple cases, or about 20 minutes with a decent ORM.

ActiveRecord (and related libraries like ActiveAdmin) are _amazing_ for rapid prototyping - eg if you don't even know whether you're going to end up keeping the faceted search.

One of the things I like about this paper is the pristine, crystal-clear English it uses to describe things I thought I knew extremely well:

> Processes are the software analog of processors. They are the units of software modularity, service, failure and repair. The operating system kernel running in each processor provides multiple processes, each with a one gigabyte virtual address space. Processes in a processor may share memory, but for fault containment, and to allow processes to migrate to other processors for load balancing, sharing of data among processes is frowned upon. Rather, processes communicate via messages. They only share code segments.

"Processes are the software analog of processors." Yes of course. How easy it is to never ponder such a thing.

Yeah, in fact we tend to play without a limit on the number of guesses, just to avoid this sort of loophole. In variants like Codenames Duet I think there's also no limit on the number of guesses.

Another thing the guessers can do if unsure about one of the tiles from the last round, is to tell the clue giver which tile they think it was. The clue giver then tries to give a clue that either tenuously links to it or clearly excludes it. That can give the clue more scope for linking to several other words. It risks giving information to the other team though so is more of an final turn play.

Ask HN: How to protect yourself from coding challenge scam?
These past months, I've seen several social media posts about people getting scammed during coding challenges or take-home tests. The cases usually involve cloning a GitHub repository that claims to contain the coding challenge and being asked to run the code, which actually contains malware or steals your data.

Do you have any advice on how to protect ourselves from this? Are there any recommended tools to scan such code? Is regular antivirus software sufficient?

I've seen several suggestions, such as always running this type of code in a VM or emulator. However, I think this solution only isolates the environment. Ideally, we need a way to determine if the code is malicious so we can decide to abandon the interview if it already seems suspicious.

Trump has thrown the China hawks under the bus. To the extent anyone is winning accolades by pushing this hypothesis, it's in giving Trump leverage in a trade negotiation. That's too marginal to motivate an adverse conclusion at the CIA.

(Counterfactual: Soviet bureaucrats would notoriously produce reports for every possible conclusion, and then pick the one that would please the boss.)

I'm curious as to what Project Genesis was.
I do wonder how long this will hold up. It's true (though cliche) that software is "eating the world", but as the low hanging fruit gets automated away you do need people that understand more complex underlying processes to work on the software. I feel the right combination at this point is to do a little of both.
To be clear, I haven't shared this with anyone because I'm not yet sure that the content is useful and correct.

As far as where I'm at:
- I've listened to it in my target language for N hours. To my ear, it sounds correct and I've learned some new words that I then heard used consistently in native media.
- Next, I'd like to set it to teach me a language that I already know, so that I can more reliably and easily spot errors. This will require some changes, since my target language is currently hardcoded.
- Longer-term, validation based on languages I speak can't generalize 100% to other languages, nor can validation of version N make assertions about version N + 1. Correctness would benefit from native speakers periodically checking results, and usefulness would benefit from user feedback (even if only in the form of engagement or lack thereof).
In the ASIC space, sure, I don't think any of these tools scale in the way that most ASIC companies have forced their "traditional" HDL toolchains to scale.

In the FPGA-based space (accelerators, RF/SDR, trading), hard disagree. There's plenty of boutique FPGA work going on in these.
I think it’s important to note that there are really two “lab leak” theories:

One in which the virus developed naturally, was collected in a remote location, and was being studied in a lab when it leaked from the lab into nearby human society.

One in which it was not a dangerous virus originally, and it became dangerous in the lab through human agency, either maliciously (e.g. bioweapons research) or accidentally (e.g. gain-of-function research).

Note that in the first theory, the virus has a natural origin, but the pandemic originates in the lab leak.

These two theories get mixed up constantly, either by accident or on purpose, who knows. For example look at this CNN story:

https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/01/25/politics/covid-19-lab-lea...

First paragraph: “The CIA now assesses the virus that causes Covid-19 more likely originated from an accidental lab leak in China, rather than occurring naturally”

Deeper in the story: “Every US intelligence agency still unanimously maintains that Covid-19 was not developed as a biological weapon” and “almost all American intelligence agencies also assess that the virus itself was not genetically engineered.”

So it didn’t occur “naturally” but also wasn’t developed or engineered. Makes no sense.

I suspect that most people are so against the lab manufactured hypothesis because they've been infected by Covid, probably multiple times, and have decided to stop taking precautions. To accept that you've been infected with a bioweapon is a pretty upsetting prospect.
