> Removing categories like "whitelist/blacklist" is trying to create a more inclusive environment where people don't internalize "white = good, black = bad".

This is preposterously pseudoscientific. Even the dumbest person has a basic a grasp of equivocity. The inability to do so suggests mental illness.

The same person who uses the word "blacklist" is very much capable of preferring the elegance of a black suit or the sleek beauty of a black sports cars or a dark pair of slacks, and dislike white suits and white sports cars or white jeans. He may prefer brunettes over blondes.

According to this reasoning, "Enlightenment" should also be renamed, as the association of "light" with good and "darkness" with evil "exclusives people" (I, too, would rename the Enlightenment, but for much more substantive reasons).

It is insane to think that the use of words like "whitelist" and "blacklist" somehow "excludes" anyone.
Just a note, considered travel to China and India to see SOTA kitchen automation? (This is sman armchair suggestion, I'm not from industry FYI).

Its slept on in the West most likely due to moral or tradition.
The Netherlands still has very successful shipyards but they focus on government contracts (navy, coastguard, ferries) and (super) yachts.

The giant container ships and mammoth tankers are all built in Asia.
After watching YT talks on Roc using Rust and Zig, I always wondered they didn't just opt for Zig only. Interesting to see this.
Hopefully by the time he got to be 55, the person with the access would be too cautious to do anything with it
I also had relatives that didn't make it out of Auschwitz. I could not care less.
No, you didn’t explain how Japan is different. Because in fact it’s not. The key point is that a government that issues debt in its own currency can always service that debt, and this is NOT inflationary.

Zimbabwe’s inflation happened because the country had debt denominated in USD and CNY, along with massive political instability, a shrinking economy, and a war happening all at the same time. Couple that with a useless central bank and you have hyperinflation.

How is that in any way comparable to the US? It’s not. This is obvious to anyone arguing in good faith.
Strangely they don't mention that (allegedly? According to them at least) they already use Zig for the standard library[0]. Which was also started to be written in Rust, then it got rewritten in Zig:

Non-centralization is enough for me (I love archive.org, but always worry about them flying too close to the sun one day and getting shut down), but this does also have a different UX, and has a more direct focus on videogame history, which should help them surface things in more interesting ways than a general purpose archive.
Have you ever played Windows games on the 1980's?

That would be a first.

What matters is where money is, and how much of those games trace back to Microsoft owned studios.

Good example with mobile games though, as it is a good example of Valve's failure to capitalise on 80% of mobile games being run with OpenGL/Vulkan, on a Linux like platform, and yet they have to translate Win32/DirectX, as means to get games on SteamDeck.

>I don't flow with the fads

Like this is textbook trend following
"Progress towards what, exactly?"

It wasn't until the 1960s that segregation in public places was made illegal. 1990s that the ADA prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities. It wasn't until the 2010s that gay marriage was legalized, and 2020s that it was ruled you can't discriminate against people based on their sexual orientation or gender identity.

It took decades for many marginalized communities to be legally even allowed to have certain jobs due to their gender or color of their skin, and now those qualities are yet again being used to prevent them from employment under the implication that anyone who isn't a straight white male is a DEI hire.
"..The receptive powers of the masses are very restricted, and their understanding is feeble. On the other hand, they quickly forget. Such being the case, all effective propaganda must be confined to a few bare essentials and those must be expressed as far as possible in stereotyped formulas. These slogans should be persistently repeated until the very last individual has come to grasp the idea that has been put forward..."

Musk does make Trump look even weaker than he usually does.
I was commenting on the absurdity of the story. It just doesn't seem to be how knowledge works. Nothing was discovered by such slow, long term accumulation of knowledge. Instead, knowledge seems to be discovered very quickly when the potential is there, and it decays and gets forgotten if the potential is lost.

For example, it was perfectly possible to be born when there was no powered flight at all, and live to see the moon landing.
And, while there are all the plans, and everything there was to write down about Saturn V, we can't do it again, as the human potential isn't there anymore. In fact, we can't even fly supersonic anymore.
I think if the algo showed alot of ED triggering content to ED survivors as well then I'd be more likely to agree thats the primary driver and not just an influence.

I'm not sure but anti-trans content/socializing in general is primarily a driver for poor mental health with trans people. Not engaging and blocking a lot of the content is day 1 advice in the community. Also, a lot of anti-trans content is targeting non-passing trans people, which is often full of ways to trigger ones dysphoria and dysmorphia. Like there are keyboard warriors for sure but i don't know anyone that intentionally watches that stuff and most even avoid tiktok entirely because of it

And I'm skeptical it even identifies me as trans if i'm just watching a few trans people that aren't talking about trans issues or experiences really. Where i scroll past much more xyz issue that affects females in particular, when it's trying to diagnosis me (which i think is cause of my health/nutrition interest it trys to convince me xyz is cause i'm not balancing my hormones or its pocs or assumes my period is terrible lol)
> There are more extant languages in many Eastern cultures

My family comes from Eastern Europe and I've traveled it (and Asia) extensively, and while I agree skin color isn't the hallmark of diversity some call it, I think the East's cultures are really similar, and the diversity of thought within those cultures much smaller.

All the division and hatred we're seeing is, a negative manifestation of, but an indication of how diverse the West is.

> An appeal to his authority might not be your strongest argument.

His article literally mentions how it should be about the content of our words, rather than appeal to authority.

I just thought it funny and relevant that this is happening on the website he created, but maybe better to cite it without mentioning who he is. Wasn't meant as an appeal to authority but fair it could be interpreted that way.

FWIW, I disagree with Graham on a lot recently politically, but I still think the heresy comparison is extremely on-point.

Love your takes on HN btw.
If you are including streamers writ large, I would argue we are no longer really talking about the same thing. If we are talking about just internet radio, I would bet any paid, full time DJs there are intended to be included in the Zippia number.

There were essentially no video game DJs in the 1980s, though, so maybe what we seek from what media is just as responsible for the shift.

Always extends before you were born and things used to be different. Even fairly recently the exceptions were awesome. Over 25 years ago a friend setup a fairly expensive satellite dish system specifically to be able to listen to WFMU. It’s a NYC station he loved that was being rebroadcast for people who left the area.

The station wasn’t something I was particularly into but nobody is doing that to listen to Clearchannel crap.
I'm going to push back on this.

Where a given topic, point, issue, or argument is frequently made, and especially (but not only) where it is of limited veracity (or as Frankfurter and Brandolini brand it, bullshit), the latter's asymmetry law argues for an effective and low-cost countermeasure, or for context to be supplied readily.

Copy-pasta issues and bullshit justify copy-pasta responses.

The flags and admonition here should be reversed.

(This of course doesn't apply to all copy-pasta, and bogus copy-pasta is of course strongly deprecated.)
> The west is a culture not a race.

It can be both depending on the context. A westerner is a european or a european descended person.

> For example many Asian people are more western than many white Americans.

What does this even mean? How can an asian person be more western than a white american. That's like saying a white american be more "eastern" than a chinese person.

I've never heard an asian person say they are a westerner. There may be asian people who appreciate western culture more than some westerners, but that doesn't make them a westerner. No more than a white american who appreciates chinese culture more than the average chinese makes him a chinese person.

Or are we talking about different things here?
I don't pragmatically disagree with you, but this is a debatable point.

Technically going to college is to learn knowledge about a topic. For computer science, that would be learning the theory of computing.

What you're talking about is a trade school to become a software engineer.

There are people who want to get a PhD in computer science or go on to do research of some kind. Those people do need a theory based computer science curriculum, not just a software engineering trade school.

We currently conflate these two things. It mostly works out but we should really be more explicit about it in my opinion. I went to a top CS program and I learned 90% of what I needed to know to be a software engineer at my first job, not in school. Something about that feels off to me.
the stuff this site has digitised is all (even from the chemistry students) literary/artistic; are there any good sources of geeky/botanic samizdat?
After years of nonsense complaints about non-existent “cancel culture” and “censorship” campaigns, here we have the real thing happening right in front of our eyes. Literal “forbidden” words being deleted from government documents and already-published material. This is truly disgusting, disturbing, and vile.

Look at the screenshots again. It states Specification version: 2.0. And the PC Health check app agrees that I have a TPM 2.0.

And yes, I have Windows 11 installed

I can't tell you why it seems to think that it is a valid TPM 2.0 module, but a lot of people have reported seeing similar things, e.g. https://old.reddit.com/r/techsupport/comments/rrta2r/tpm_que...

(Btw. I'm pretty sure 16 is larger than 2. It's not saying 1.1.6. It's a version string, not a decimal number)

Edit: The name of the specification is: Trusted Platform Module Library Family “2.0”, Revision 1.16. This was released in 2014: https://trustedcomputinggroup.org/resource/tpm-library-speci...

So yes, this is TPM 2.0. And TPM 2.0 was released in a non-draft version at the time my CPU was made. And the "1.16" is the revision number of the TPM 2.0 specification that it supports.

FWIW, I've been using the card since late 2019 and had zero issues with it. There aren't a lot of 2% cards that just straight give you 2% cash back w/o any hoops[1]. The Fidelity card is no muss no fuss for me. 2% just magically appears in my designated Fidelity account at the end of the month.

I have not had to interact with Elan customer service, so I can't speak to that. I also don't care about the Fidelity mobile app (I use fidelty.com from my laptop). I haven't had any issues using fidelty.com to manage the card.

I did mean improperly using cached results. It's merely the hardest problem in computer science :)

The sibling suggests this may still be an issue. I'm not surprised—cache invalidation is very difficult to solve, and conservative approximations like tearing down the whole process each time tend to be quite effective.
> Rust's compile times are slow. Zig's compile times are fast. This is not the only reason, but it's a big reason.

So why not something like OCaml that has fast compile times and a lot of nice features for writing compilers? (pattern matching, etc.)
> How is this possible with any auditing/compliance framework in place?

It is not, what happened is someone said “I have authority from the President which trumps your ‘frameworks’ and ‘processes’, and if you fight me on this you will be fired and then we’ll bring in your replacement with the same deal and repeat as necessary until there is compliance with our demands”.
Did your neighbor share with you what worked for him?
>It's not irrelevant. If you're running a company you're have to take in more revenue than your expenses.

It's irrelevant to the discussion, not irrelevant to running a business in general.

The context being whether the "shredding" of government size "like he did Twitter" is workable. And the observation I added being that, from an operational standapoint, Twitter works fine, despite the doomsday scenarios when Musk started his shredding.

Government doesn't have to attract advertisers - or even turn a profit. Just to reduce it's spending. So if it can do that while (as Twitter) maintaining the same operational capacity, that's a win.

? I think I'm misunderstanding your comment. This replaces the entire push notification infrastructure.

The "distributor" receives notifications onto the device and sends them to the apps via a standardized API.

The apps themselves then post the notifications to the user via the android on-device notification API.

The "gateway" receives the notifications from the services over a standardized API and sends them to the distributor.

How the gateways actually distribute the notifications is actually completely up to the gateways. The main gateway (ntfy) uses websocket, another (nextpush) piggybacks off of nextcloud, and the new kid on the block (sunup) uses the Mozilla Push Service behind the scenes.

Nothing in this is restricted or locked in to a centralised platform.
What do you think communism was ideologically about if not a system of "imposed equity"? In the name of what were people persecuted and killed if not "equality"?

For him, the celebration of these is offensive and excluding.
This reminds me of the Agent Workflow Memory (AWM) paper [1], which also tries to find optimal decision paths for LLM-based agents but relies on in-context learning, whereas DeepRAG fine-tunes models to decide when to retrieve external knowledge.

I’ve been thinking about how modifying AWM to use fine-tuning or an external knowledge system (RAG) might work—capturing the ‘good’ workflows it discovers rather than relying purely on prompting.

Germans are a bit touchy on this. There are a bunch of two-letter or two-digit combinations you can’t have on your license plate, for example. Somemore far-fetched than others.

It won't say on the tin what the negative consequences of breaking what's in the tin will be, it's never that simple in my experience.

There are substantially better ways to solve this problem, so the fact that those better methods aren't being tried screams ignorance and inexperience, which is a problem for critical payment systems.
> AI was supposed to change everything. Finally, plain English could be a programming language—one everyone already knows. No syntax. No rules. Just say what you want

That’s the thing about language, you CAN’T program in human language for this exact reason, whereas programming languages are mechanical but precise, human languages flow better but they leave wiggle room. Computers can’t do jack shit with wiggle room, they’re not humans. That’ll always remain, until there’s an AI people like enough to have it’s own flair on things.
Almost all cultures consider themselves to be superlative.

The middle east considers itself the best. China consides itself the best. I have no problem with the west considering itself the best.

The relatedness of articles is already baked in with blue wiki links too. So it shouldn't be too hard to make something that just looks for neighbors.

Now, something that learns that if you like X you might like Y, even if they are disconnected. Is closer to the dystopic ad maximizing algorithm of TikTok et al.

Changing “master” to “main” is exactly the kind of empty symbolic gesture corporate America loves.

If you want to talk about real power dynamics, walk down the street in San Francisco. Visible poverty everywhere, in one of the richest cities on Earth. If you want healthcare, food, shelter, or political representation, you need to pay.

That’s the relevant power dynamic, and because it is so intractable these activists have conceded it and instead resort to virtue signaling (“we can’t change the system but at least we want to!”). Who the hell cares. George Floyd’s problem wasn’t that not enough software engineers were aware of American chattel slavery, his problem was that being poor is effectively illegal.
Ask HN: Have you see a undeniable drop in Claude coding quality recently
I have noticed that claude is basically not worht using and I constantly run out of messages despite being pro, when most of my messages are asking it to undo something it inadvertently changed in process of making something. I have some hypothesis that around time they made change where claude started to do in line editing of code instead of net new that they severely destroyed either the quality of generation or the frontend logic is completely broken. I make multiple messages asking it to repeat and regenerate because the console doesn't update or show it. Would make sense if inline editing was a way for them to save on output tokens (output a diff instead of whole thing) except the quality is incredibly sub par. Anyone else experience this and have thoughts?
Ugh, this is why the term "hypersonics" is misleading. Ballistic missiles ARE hypersonic systems, they travel faster than Mach 5. And that's not just me being pedantic. The Kinzhal missile is regularly touted as a "hypersonic" including in this thread. But the Kinzhal is just a ballistic missile, it's actually just an air-launched version of the Iskander.

Which interceptor would be used against a target largely comes down to whether the intercept is endo- or exo-atmospheric. The SM3 is an exo-atmospheric intercepter: it's designed to collide with the target in the vacuum of space. The SM6 is an endo-atmospheric interceptor. SM3 can be used against ballistic missiles, including both traditional re-entry vehicles and hypersonic glide vehicles, before they enter the atmosphere. The SM6 can be used against anything in the atmosphere: including ballistic missiles in the terminal descent phase.
Concern over even a low possibility of a catastrophic event is hardly alarmist.

And what if your assumption about printing checks is wrong? I find no basis for that assumption, by the way.
