And they don't put you through the nudie scanner (or whatever it's called) which is important to some people. I have pre-check automatically through global entry (that basically lets you bypass immigration coming back into the US).

Just got ETA for the UK and you also have e-entry (which usually works) from the US and a number of other countries as well.
I have also recently been through the same steep learning curve you have and the following worked for me. Reading spec sheets is fine but nothing beats measurement if its feasible. I built a custom PCB with all the power pins for all the peripherals broken out so I could put an ammeter in series with each of them individually. Then I used Nordic's inexpensive power profiler kit 2 (search for Nordic PPK2 - its under $100). Really decent specs at 100kHz sampling rate and 100nA resolution - you connect it to a PC to see the charts. I also bought my own resin 3D printer. They are so cheap these days and it helped with iterating on designs and not having to wait days for things to arrive. PS, great post, loved it.

Another way to do this would be to make an app that uses positional information from the headphones and feeds the sound of your choice into a head related transfer function (HRTF) to give the illusion of spatial audio.

> it always feels paradoxical when leaders wax poetic about the mystery of God and then say 'so here is what God thinks you should do.' How could they know?

Perhaps we were told it:

> "Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?" He [Jesus] said to him, "'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.' This is the greatest and first commandment. And a second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glagolitic_script

> The Glagolitic script (/ˌɡlæɡəˈlɪtɪk/ GLAG-ə-LIT-ik,[2] ⰳⰾⰰⰳⱁⰾⰻⱌⰰ, glagolitsa) is the oldest known Slavic alphabet. It is generally agreed that it was created in the 9th century for the purpose of _translating_ liturgical texts into Old Church Slavonic by Saint Cyril, a monk from Thessalonica. He and his brother Saint Methodius were sent by the Byzantine Emperor Michael III in 863 to Great Moravia to spread Christianity there.

The Catholic and Orthodox churches have _always_ striven to make the Scriptures available to the people in languages they could understand.
The intelligent response would be "probably not, but we'll see what the investigation says".

But imagine if the tables were turned politically. Fox News would be going off 24/7 about "DEI" or some such for weeks on end. That strategy seems to be successful, so I would expect the other side to start employing it more as well.

Having a bunch of harried, overworked people stressed about their jobs and the future certainly doesn't help anything, in any case.

Reasons for fad status IMHO, things companies are wanting to charge for that I'm willing to pay for: none. Features added to existing products that have made the product worse: actually more than zero.

Maybe this tech is great for people who aren't smart to make decisions and research for them. Maybe it's great for companies that plan to massively decimate labor costs. Maybe it's ...

The jury may still out as to what if any actual long lasting changes this tech is having to change our world for the better, but what I hope is abundantly clear by now is the stratospheric valuations people have slapped on this industry are unlikely to be justified any time soon.

The existential risk that AI poses is first and foremost the threat that it be centralized and controlled by a closed company like OpenAI, or a small oligopoly of such companies.
By "discovered vulnerabilities", I mean a security issue that wasn't known when the library was first written but then came to be known. This is what's fixed when a library is maintained.

This entirely depends on the library, but I just generally don't see a lot of security fixes in library updates. But for compiler updates, I do.

I'm speaking super broadly, and this will be very different for a Python graphing library versus a C networking library.
Technically... they are outlining edges at the speed of light. Detection is a separate process entirely.

This is being severely co-opted by the alt-right to the point that people become apologists for Elon Musk doing multiple literal Nazi salutes at the US presidential inauguration.

Decrying wokeness a week later in a meandering essay is about 8 years too late for the "well actually, some people do go too far with it" discussion. He could have written it at any point within the past decade, but doing it only after a change in who holds the purse strings is obviously just realignment for personal gain.

You should indeed stop talking to people who only throw around pejoratives, but this doesn't mean we should discredit all related cause for alarm. Calling the richest man in the world a duck because he's walking like a duck isn't woke. Pretending otherwise is some emperor's new clothes nonsense.

Yes. The problem with Gates is not the good stuff his foundation does, it's the fact that a monopoly concentrated so much money in just a few folks (oligarchs) hands. This was an obvious problem as far back as the late 1990s, but as I recall nobody except a few cranks said anything about it.

Show HN: Kopimatic, Brewing Calculator PWA
Hey HN, I built a PWA to help you brew a great coffee. It's setup for v60 pourovers, AeroPress, drip, and James Hoffman's Iced Coffee recipe.

It's got wakelock support and a 'mocha mode' for thsoe late night brews. No frameworks, no analytics, no referral links -- just a little JS & CSS hosted on GH Pages.

Recipes and calculations are designed for my equipment & tastes, so YMMV.
That doesn't really make sense with how LLMs work. I think this is exactly why it's risky to use words like "thinking" and "reasoning".

If by the "visible reasoning" is just for show they meant these models don't actually think and reason, then yes that is correct.

But if they meant that the visible reasoning is not quite literally a part of inference process...that's entirely incorrect.

R1 is open source. We don't have to make guesses about its functioning.

Usually true, though I don't believe that's guaranteed.

Dart Macros and Focus

What's happening right now is a fad,
even if some aspects of it end up making long term impacts.
The earlier AI fads of the 60s and 70s,

This article seems to completely misread what the DeepSeek release actually represents. The author uses it as evidence of the AI bubble bursting, but DeepSeek demonstrates exactly the opposite: AI becoming more efficient and practical, not less valuable.

A small company just released a model that matches leading proprietary systems at 1/30th the running costs and fraction of the training costs ($6M vs $60M+). Yes, this challenges the "moat" of big tech companies, but that's not a bubble bursting - it's a technology becoming more accessible and practical. The author conflates "big tech losing its monopoly" with "AI being a fad."
Absolute privilege to have lived the time before the internet. In hindsight.. and as say all people as they grow older and look back at the good old days. That too, but time before internet was really something else.
I see. It is a very bad example indeed. Terrible, terrible example.

Switching off Trump mode for a moment, I don't see why you would want to declare the buffer inside the loop, given that keeping it alive for the entire time of the loop is actually the semantics you want.
fp16? I thought it was trained at fp8.
To add onto this... some amount of what they are calling edge detection here seems to overlap with what has already been implemented in microscopy using phase contrast... which has been around since 1932.
Well, you may not have to worry, but if you have large unpoured areas on a design with a professional PCB manufacturer (of the traditional, high-touch kind), they will ask if you want to pour some copper there. Reason being that it makes the process faster, more consistent and reduce possible side-etching on lanes. It may not a make a difference in most cases, but you may just save some time and effort by doing this.
I’m on-site with a client in The Hague this week—the food and drink in this city is phenomenal, so these paintings definitely still ring true for me at least.
You could also just emulate what the music would sound like with a stereo system and support head tracking with that. dear reality does something like that with their dearVR digital audio workstation plugins.

And then I recall there was this one old Kickstarter project that made headphones with that idea. It had an IR transmitter for head tracking.

I think it might be quite difficult to track head movement with just earbuds and not have the tracking drift, though.
Using Tails When Your World Doesn't Feel Safe Anymore
Yeah the PostgreSQL situation is just utterly appalling. The fact that there is a type called "timestamp with time zone," that specifically calls out the fact that it has a time zone, but actually doesn't have a time zone is absolutely crazytown.

> This may seem redundant, but it's really important to answer "what happens if I have a future timestamp stored, and the USA suddenly rejects daylight savings time. Do I honor the absolute point in time, or do I honor the notion of 5pm?"

Yeah! It's great that Temporal rejects by default, but does let you override that and choose whether to respect the instant or respect to the civil time. And it lets you do that with a high level configuration knob. You don't have to code up the logic yourself.
Rich people currently have little trouble controlling people who are much smarter and more capable than they are. Controlling resources and capital goes a long way and it isn't a given that AGI would transcend that dynamic.
I think an ergonomic way to do that would to have read return not an integer, but a slice of that integer’s length.

Problem would be: how do you express “you can only access the buffer you sent me through the read-only slice I returned, but you have to free that same buffer when you’re done calling me?

I think that can be done using a function creating a read buffer for a given input stream that

- during calls to read is ‘owned for writing’ by that stream (so, it has to borrow a capability that the creator of the buffer doesn’t have. I don’t think Rust currently supports that)

- where stream.read returns a read only slice whose lifetime is bound to that of the buffer

So, the creator of the buffer can only pass it to read to get a slice back that contains precisely the data read.

The stream can write to the entire buffer.

True, I don't believe the world has ever evolved this fast before.
Right, I was thrown by the real world terms. The ownership system (and syntax) isn't doing anything about a blocked account, it's just preventing a use-after-move, which has nothing to do with this-thread-blocks, that-thread-transfers.

(This is also why I walk past Erlang. Such emphasis on share-nothing prevents an account from being shared by a customer and a bank manager.)

So, what is the actual solution for a thread asking if any other thread has blocked(acct1), so that transfer() can proceed or be rolled back?

You still seem to confuse concepts of dominance and leadership, similarly how your opponents in the debate confuse dominance and violence.

But I would agree with them that leadership does not require dominance.
Yeah, but that goes into the realm of personal preference right?

I suspect if you're giving people a choice in the future, they're going to flock to the human doctors. Especially human doctors receiving good recommendations.

There has to be something more than personal preference if you want to sway the masses on AI physicians. There has to be some way to measure outcomes in a valid, verifiable and public fashion. Even then, some human doctors will do worse than AIs, and some will do better. And again, at that point, you can expect people, given a choice, to flock to those humans who did better.

We'd need to get to the point where AIs do consistently better than, say, 60 to 70% of the human doctors for insurance companies to feel even semi-comfortable saying "we use AI doctors". An even higher percentage would be necessary for an insurance company to feel comfortable mandating AI doctors. And we'd need AIs to do consistently better than nearly all the humans for humans to choose AI doctors independently of their insurers forcing them to use AI doctors.
"Surely"? This is only a few days after a change of administration along with sweeping government changes. Don't you think it's worth asking questions a little more deeply than this?
Now that is a great series. :)
I would rather replace them with real humans.
Reading the proposal page “ Time Zones and Resolving Ambiguity”[1], it only mentions that it uses the IANA time zone database[2] not when it updates it. However I imagine the users computer has access to this database as well and probably handles it being updated. I’m not sure about this. It’s also entirely possible for the browser to download this database and maintain it too, separately from updates. I’m sure it depends on the implementation.

Why Los Angeles Has Bus Stops in the Middle of the Freeway
52 pages is a bit of an investment to pick up and read a random item, and I suspect the reading speed will be much lower than a fictional novel given the different density of the material. Think of it like an abstract for a research paper, a short 1 or 2 paragraphs of information to see if you want to dive deeper or not, though it is subpar to an actual abstract if one exists as it is more likely to misrepresent the content.

(One can argue that it appearing on HN, the votes it gets, and the comments it gets work as strong signals meaning it is unfair to consider it any random writeup, but I think the point stands in the more general case when HN isn't providing signaling.)
Apple and Proton Mail both let you do this without the plus sign. You just have to generate the alias through their password apps.
AMD could arguably do it. But they have to focus to stay above water at all, and "put 128GB or more of DDR5 ram on any previous-gen GPU" is probably not in their focus.

Show HN: Lab – A CLI tool for instant code experiments
I made a tool to eliminate the friction when you want to quickly test some code. Type `lab` with any extension and start coding immediately - no thinking about filenames or directories.

Key features:
- Instant start: Type `lab` with any extension to open a new file
- Smart organization: Files auto-named with date+letter (e.g., 250112a)
- Quick access: `lab 1` opens most recent file
- Auto cleanup: Files expire after 7 days (configurable)
- Run anywhere: `lab -r 1 python` runs file with any command

The goal was to remove all overhead between "I want to try something" and actually writing code. Files live in ~/lab and clean themselves up - no management needed.
