Why does it have to be a Russian port? If they're trying to be sneaky, why would Russia deliberately choose a merchant ship entering or leaving one of _its own_ ports?

You can get Russian intelligence officers in many other country's ports. Russia is more than capable of doing this same supposed bribe elsewhere. Let's imagine it was Latakia or Tartus in Syria. They can then track the ship and deliver a message. They don't need to use Russian ships to deliver the message.

Any nation deliberately causing sabotage would not want to be blamed, and would want any "clues" to mislead and point in the direction of of their enemies.

All we know for sure is that we believe the Yi Peng 3 likely damaged two submarine cables, and it was boarded and its crew were interviewed on 18 December 2024. The rest is speculation.

It's similar to the Nordstream pipeline sabotage. It was already deactivated due to European nations agreeing not to buy Russian gas because of their invasion of Ukraine, but it was then, we believe, deliberately sabotaged. Russia was accused (by nations that don't like Russia and support Ukraine). The US/UK were accused (by Russia). Ukraine was accused. 2 years later and the current status is: we're fairly confident it was sabotage, but we're still not sure who did it. Everyone denies doing it. Everyone fingers their main enemy as the one who did it. Does that sound familiar here?
I once contracted for a company that laid off 6 of my bosses in 7 months. The one who hired me was fired 2 days after I started. In the end, they didn't extend my contract, basically because nobody knew anymore where I belonged in the company structure, who do I report to, and who should actually extend my contract :-)

I've seen this but with the guy's manager being the blocker. Manager tells high-performing employee that he's gone (probably for some BS personal reason--the guy was good), but company policy is that he gets two weeks notice before his last day, and if he can find another team to transfer to, then he can stay. Well, since he's a great employee, multiple teams are interested, but Manager blocks them all, and the guy ends up having to leave.
I do that too. But when I’m old and not traveling, having a journal would be nice.

Imagine getting fired because you wanted to respect the DMCA of all things. I'd be curious for details, though you probably shouldn't tell.
Do the motion sensors add value when compared to independent motion sensors or humidity sensors?

My sense is that with independent dumb motion sensors you achieve much of a smart house with less cost, wifi dependency.
Performance dont scale linearly especially in the same node. If you could get a top range Intel / AMD / Apple CPU to get 20% increase in performance for a 30% incase in power it is a massive win.

I got measurable decreases in deployment time by shrinking the node_modules directory in our docker images.

I think people forget that, when you’re copying the same images to dozens and dozens of boxes, any improvement starts to add up to real numbers.

It's not that the headline is "more accurate" than the story, it's that the headline is accurate and reflects the content of the article. If you look at the second paragraph of the article, as well as the source it provides[0], they all agree the "asteroid" was deleted from records: "EDITORIAL NOTICE: DELETION OF 2018 CN41". It was not reclassified or corrected, it was deleted, because it was not an asteroid and so does not belong in the list of designated asteroids. It just also happens to already be tracked elsewhere.

> bank-fool recommend mutual funds…the odds a sucker never sees a consistent behavior is far greater than random chance

Again, you’re criticising active management in general. (And seem to be mixing up alpha and tracking error. Passively-managed funds aren’t aiming to outperform the market.)

There is no evidence actively-managed ETFs (or hedge funds, for that matter) outperform actively-managed mutual funds. There is also not a material difference in tracking error between their passive products.

ETFs are a retail product. Like mutual funds. Make financial decisions based on the product, not the wrapper. (Also, where in the fuck does one go to get mutual funds in 2025 anyway?!)

Ben Mackintyre's book about Colditz reveals that Douglas Bader was actually a pretty unpleasant character, often tolerated by his peers at best, and often loathed by his subordinates whom he would bully. He was an outstanding pilot though and was given the benefit of the doubt as a result.

To his credit, after the war he used his fame to become a vocal advocate for the disabled. I remember him as such when I was young.
Fwiw there's highly cited papers that literally map AGI to compression. As in they map to the same thing and people write papers on this fact that are widely respected. Basically a prediction engine can be used to make a compression tool and an AI equally.

The tldr; if given inputs and a system that can accurately predict the next sequence you can either compress that data using that prediction (arithmetic coding) or you can take actions based on that prediction to achieve an end goal mapping predictions of new inputs to possible outcomes and then taking the path to a goal (AGI). They boil down to one and the same. So it's weird to have someone state they are not the same when it's widely accepted they absolutely are.
As an AuDHDer, I can see myself having an especially difficult time.

What about Japanese banks? They have a reputation of being terrible, justified for the little experience I had with them.

Lots of fees, bureaucratic, inconvenient opening times,...

In Japan, cash is king, and loan sharking is very prevalent. Not a very good sign for the banking system.

Note that it is now becoming increasingly possible to go cashless, though cash is still the most widely accepted option. And I think it is mostly thanks to foreign banks like Citibank.

I remember trying it out several years ago, when I was experimenting with hosting my website for the first times. The UX was terrible just as it is now, and I ended up never actually using it for much.

I then went on to try https://biz.nf, and I think they belong to the same category - free web hosting, provided by actual profit-driven corporations as opposed to orgs/collectives such as NeoCities, which seems to be stuck in time. Both continue to work in 2025, neither offers free HTTPS (which means those sites won't even open by default on most modern browsers), not much is known on who runs them, and neither has upgraded their graphics in (tens of?) years. But they do work.

I still have my Biz.NF account. I don't actually use it - the lack of SSL is a deal breaker for any potential serious use one might have - but I log into it from time to time, when I'm feeling nostalgic.
There's something so charming about it, it's hard to explain. It might be the early 2000s web design aesthetic, with the cartoonish clip-art icons, heavy shadows and gradient backgrounds. Or it might be the memory of those times, when I thought that anything I could think of, I could develop, with my silly little free web hosting account.

I can't convince myself on how these sites still exist. Sure, they provide abysmal specs for the free tier, and they're quick to ban everything that they think is abuse. But they have staff, including the support agent who kindly explained to 13y/o me that the free tier doesn't allow your PHP scripts to fetch external resources, and the people taking care of the actual servers, providing support for the latest PHP versions, and more.

I'm fully convinced that these hosts will not be here in 10 years. It simply can't work. Biz.NF has paid services, but they're overpriced when compared to almost everything else. You can't convince me they're much profitable. Even their free hosting offerings are outdated - most of the comments here are talking about better alternatives. Biz.NF has recently discontinued the free website builder, without announcing any replacement. FreeWHA runs entirely on outdated software, and most features have been "coming soon" since before 2017.

They're probably the sites that best allow people to experience the "dead mall vibe" on the Internet (alongside Decentraland, for Folding Ideas fans). To me they feel like they're just going by inertia, surviving off of a handful of paid subscribers, some of which have probably forgotten they're subscribed at all.

At some point, some random guy is going to decide they can't be bothered to keep the lights on anymore - as little as that electricity bill might cost - and that will be the end for this corner of web history.
And just like when I read in the news that the mall where I used to go as a child was closing down, I'm going to be sad when I receive the email of Biz.NF's end of service.
I’m more concerned about the 40gb of node_modules. Why hasn’t node supported tgz node_modules. That would save 75% of the space or more.
People always talk about early covid like it was some hyper-lethal virus. Remember, if you were a mostly healthy, non-elderly adult the death rate was like 1 in a thousand. I've read a few of people's amateur investigations about the early days of the virus and there are many cases where people point to potential witnesses whose testimony and evidence is lost because they apparently died from the virus. Did the virus greatly moderate in it's lethality in the first weeks? Was the Chinese government initially freaking out and euthanizing the infected?
I shouldn’t have started my comment with the sort of implied question or note of confusion. Sorry, that was unclear communication.

I agree that it is possible to write some C programs that some compilers will be able to discover the parallel potential of. But it isn’t very ergonomic or dependable. So, I think this is not a strong counter-argument to the theory of the blog post. It is possible to write SIMD friendly C, but often it is easier for the programmer to fall back to intrinsics to express their intent.
Was that before or after “the consultants?”
yeah so they basically only improved power density, nothing else :D
It's kind of silly. It's not like MSFT and the other hyper-scalers dont need the capacity build out for other reasons too. This should be an easy pivot if DeepSeek turns out to be as good as promised.

There seem to be a 100 fold uptick in jingoists in the last 3-4 years which makes my head hurt but I think there is no consistent "underestimation" in academic circles? I think I have read articles about the up and coming Chinese STEM for like 20 years.
This is what I still don't understand, how much of what they claim has been actually replicated? From what I understand the "50x cheaper" inference is coming from their pricing page, but is it actually 50x cheaper than the best open source models?
Nothing ridiculous about it. That came out of the permatemp lawsuits in the US by contractors a couple of decades ago which resulted in employers avoiding doing anything that made it look like contractors were being treated like permanent employees. Squeezing for money by a few contractors ruined a good thing for the rest of them.
Cool site! I didn't know this was an established way of measuring input lag but it's how I've been doing it since I found out my Samsung phone came with a 960 fps camera.

I'm not worried about the government doing these things, I'm worried about corporations colluding to do these things.
It's not just overspending it's over hiring too. IME they always go hand in hand.

My main struggle with BASIC at 10yo was its non-strict SQL-looking structure. Maybe that’s me specific, but this gradual thing would be even more confusing, cause it gives nothing rigid to pattern match against. The big part of it is demystification and regularity. I only started programming when I got Turbo Pascal (and god bless BGI). Before that it was all muddy waters.

Looks cool! If I may, a couple of feature suggestions:

1. You mentioned it already but bookmarks. In particular bookmarks that can be added through iOS Shortcuts (so we can each build whatever crazy automation we need) and that can be exported (so we can keep LARPing productivity in our Obsidian vaults).

2. An "undo" function, somehow. I know this is weird but I've misclicked the seek bar so many times (esp. in the lock screen) and lost where I was... a solution for that would be so cool.

I've been using the same podcasts app for... well over 10 years. But yours looks really cool, I may just switch.

Not a matter of when the office is open, it's a matter of how many hours have been worked vs what's expected. I'm obviously fine with folks working whenever they want, that's half the benefit of work from home in the first place. What I'm not fine with was this particular dude clocking in code at all hours all week, then putting even more in on the weekend. And mind you this is not simply from commits, it's from when he's emailing me his time spent on various tasks and I can see he's wildly passing the 40 hour mark.

Uyghurs committed frequent acts of terrorism against China throughout the 1990s and 2000s, so you actually don't need to imagine that scenario. The treatment of Uyghurs is unjust and a clear violation of their human rights, but it's nowhere near the level of depravity of the western-backed Gaza Genocide.

>> I keep hearing about these "network placed" jobs on HN, but in 25 years, I've never seen it myself.

Same here, also =~ 25 years (working as a professional programmer since 2001). I never had a problem finding a job myself (either switching jobs or being laid off, it happens) but it was always "cold calling", apply on a job board / Linked In and go through the interview without any referral or inside help.

And when I tried to refer someone, they were blissfully ignored. Even had managers / HR go after me: "we need someone ASAP, don't you have some referrals?". Reached my acquaintances among former workmates, convinced them to make a personalized CV so I can send it to HR, nothing happened next. They didn't even call the guy, completely "forget about it".

So I learned my lesson of corporate helplessness and don't give a fuck anymore. Don't recommend anyone, don't care if HR or managers need someone urgently, I do my job and don't get involved with anyone else anymore.

There were shareware Windows programs for audio transcription and even controlling the computer with your voice back in the 90s, I had some fun playing with one of them around 1999/2000. You had to train it to your voice by reading some text it gave you, but after that was pretty good. The modern stuff is definitely better untrained, but I'm not so sure about after training, though it has been a long time since I've used it.

How often are individuals publishing to NPM? Once a day at most, more typically once a week or month? A few dozen seconds of one person's day every month isn't a terrible trade-off.

Even that's addressable though if there's motivation, since something like transcoding server side during publication just for popular packages would probably get 80% of the benefit with no client-side increase in publication time.
