IMHO the more important part is they used pyrolysis gas chromatography, which breaks down all polymer chains.

Besides man-made plastics, guess what else has long hydrocarbon chains, occurs naturally in humans and other biological matter, and behaves similarly under pyrolysis...

So, what's a good strategy for managing containers? I've used this extension for years, and in the past I was a bit more conservative with my containers (personal, work, google, facebook, twitter, banking, etc.) and now I've gone a bit more ... "ham" as they say ... and I have 29. One example is travel, to keep fare searches from pervading news story ads. But I'm sure there's a way to strike a balance that I've just not yet found.
I got two dozen eggs at Costco yesterday for $6.69 (the run of the mill white eggs).
Do you know what this field/type is called, and I’d any of the big names (MS/Adobe etc) support creating such PDFs?
state based information privacy laws would be my first go to.
We get it, all facts and figure are to be ignored. The guy on the Internet feels it in his gut (if he even lives in the area) and has some little anecdote. So just take his word it's all terrible and you should be scared of everything.
It would be nice to see some of that money go towards subway improvements. This is still the worst subway system I have used anywhere in the world: it is loud, it is slow, it is unreliable. Even Boston's right next door is so much cleaner, roomier, and more modern. Surely if the city taxes people into using the subway, they will do something to improve the subway?

Safety is a start I guess but is hard to judge when it had been declining for years. I am hopefully.
Most people are scared of violent crimes. If it is a felony, I doubt it gets removed after 6 months.

How many people are robbed, assaulted, violated or killed on the subway ?

Those are the numbers that matter. Talking about vague 'crimes' is a pointlessly low resolution.
“There are reports of Musk staffers on the CDC campus today, and yesterday an NSF official said at an internal meeting that the agency is apparently planning to lay off up to half its staff over the next two months.”

This country is completely turning its back on science and education and there is basically nothing that can be done right now. It’s very depressing.
Complaints =/= Crime

The subway has millions of riders in a day. One hundred and fifty complaints per precinct (which is a generous estimation) is nothing, and the NYPD is a failure of an organization that pays over half a hundred million dollars a year on misconduct lawsuits. NYPD officers have a higher crime rate than the people of New York.
This was my introduction to conlanging, a hobby that has been incredibly rewarding for me over the years. I still haven’t found a better introduction to the scene.
> For the 4% inaccuracies a lot of them are things like the text "LLC" handwritten would get OCR'd as "IIC" which I would say is somewhat "fair".

I'm actually somewhat surprised Gemini didn't guess from context that LLC is much more likely?

I guess the OCR subsystem is intentionally conservative? (Though I'm sure you could do a second step on your end, take the output from the conservative OCR pass, and sent it through Gemini and ask it to flag potential OCR problems? I bet that would flag most of them with very few false positives and false negatives.)
Bench is super fun! It caused enough trouble for me that I just prioritized other things. I'd love to start it up again. I think it I were going to work on it, I would work on an "Easy Strength" program for it, e.g. low reps, high intensity. I would try to build up without soreness or tightness. I'd probably avoid hypertrophy and focus just on neuron development because I still have to keep my laptop shoulders in check.
Looking at the Madoff saga and how some people got clawbacked decades after the fact, the wise position is to not take the offer. Today Trump is in power. Tomorrow, that might not be the case.

That's a great video. To be clear, I'm not defending Captchas - I just don't know if I believe they're dead yet.
> Most AI research has been conducted as if the computation available to the agent were constant (in which case leveraging human knowledge would be one of the only ways to improve performance) but, over a slightly longer time than a typical research project, massively more computation inevitably becomes available. Seeking an improvement that makes a difference in the shorter term, researchers seek to leverage their human knowledge of the domain, but the only thing that matters in the long run is the leveraging of computation. These two need not run counter to each other, but in practice they tend to. Time spent on one is time not spent on the other. There are psychological commitments to investment in one approach or the other. And the human-knowledge approach tends to complicate methods in ways that make them less suited to taking advantage of general methods leveraging computation.
What are you doing all that for? Sounds like a ton of work. Like months of full time?
nvidia has been great on wayland since 550; Everyone running CachyOS is on 570 now
This was certainly near peak Microsoft malaise. The only interesting thing they were doing with the Xbox 360 and that was only interesting because the grown ups weren’t paying attention. (When they did start to pay attention we got the Xbox One).

It is interesting perspective on how fast things can change in tech. Right now Intel seems doomed and Nvidia unbeatable, but it could all change in a few years time.
Thank you. The New York City subway has its issues, but most of them boil down to the fact that the system is really old and hard to modernize.

It also has unique strengths arising from the extreme population density and the inherent 24/7-ness of NYC (not to mention Manhattan's unique geography) but people don't talk about them as much as its flaws.

If your only reference point is transit in other US cities it's hard to grasp how different the NYC subway experience is, at least in Manhattan. Trains come every 5-10 minutes even at off-peak hours, and it's almost always busy. It's just not a very conducive environment for crime, unless you're riding in the middle of the night and/or at the tail ends of the system where density is lower.

When it comes to thinking about my own personal safety, I don't worry about crime on the subway, I worry about getting hit by a truck or e-bike rider.
It’s a good first step, but half of the crates in crates.io have at least 40 transitive dependencies. Some have hundreds or thousands. A big effort.
From his perspective, is there a difference?
Was the KIM-1 the first 6502 computer? I'm not sure.

In any event, try out the KIM-1 simulator if you want to use your 6502 coding skills: https://maksimkorzh.github.io/KIM-1/
It’s similar in our neighborhood in California.

Before we bought, we checked a crime statistics site, and it said the crime rate was zero near our place.

In reality, burglaries, etc, are extremely common, but the police don’t update the database.
This is an opinion piece. The author is suggesting that people without authority are interfering with government operations, and that this constitutes a coup.

The government operations under scrutiny are within the Executive Branch of government. The people involved have been hired by the White House which runs the Executive Branch. The White House was recently elected by a majority vote in November, 2024 and inaugurated into office in January of 2025.
If that's your standard, nobody is meticulously fact based. I stand by my statement, I didn't say they were perfect.
To their credit, they do discuss this in the results. I suspect the reviewers had the same concerns.

Their response is not especially convincing, IMO, but they do at least discuss it.
I think NVIDIAs future is pretty bright.

We're getting to the run-your-capable-LLM on-prem or at-home territory.

Without DeepSeek (and hopefully its successors) I wouldn't really have a usecase for something like NVIDIAs Project Digits.

NLM NCBI Site experiencing heavy traffic
I've seen many times on HN people complaining on the OpenAI scraping to be quite intense unnecessarily, not respecting robots.txt, among other statements.

It seems too much of a coincidence that 'deep research' was released three days ago (Feb 2) and that the National Library of Medicine site has been under heavy traffic around Jan 27 (based on what I could see on the internet archive).

I have 0 evidence to back up the claim that the cause of this heavy traffic comes from OpenAI, but just wanted to note it on HN to see if sparks some interesting discussions.

> it used to be that you could read a newspaper end-to-end and feel like you were informed

Of course, the downside of that approach is that the people who control the (relatively few) major newspapers effectively get to define what "informed" means - and, most importantly, what it does _not_ include.
SHA-3 has more internal state, it really is plausibly better at handling very large data. If 'unlimited' is really less than a gigabyte, there's no problem. It's mostly the preimage series of attacks and length extension at that point. SHA-3 is better on those. SHA-512 has zero length extension attack resistance.
Face pulls are great! I also had some good luck with banded rows. Stretching that front side helps too. I like the one where you stick your arms in the doorway and lean forward. The egyptian stretch for shoulders also rules.

In general, I think you could summarize as: stretch out and relax the front side, strengthen the opposing muscles in the back, and fix your posture.

Original Strength was what really broke the dam for me personally. That, combined with overhead shoulder work, has completely changed the way my shoulders sit on my body.
Obviously there's some sampling bias in your response.

That aside, we can assume that the ratio of crimes to reports remained constant - because there's no reason to think otherwise. So if the ratio of reports to daily riders is now lower, even if there are billions of un-reported crimes as long as the ratio improved it did become safer on a per-ride basis.

Note that also you have a roughly 1% lifetime risk of dying in a car accident in the United States and your risk of dying on a train rounds to zero. So on balance, I strongly suspect you're safer even if there's a lot of unreported petty crime.

My understanding is that per person-hour, the subway doesn't get much more crime than any other outdoor public space.
The argument 'but the right dismantling the shadow left, and the left dismantling the shadow right hopefully provides some balance' is merely a symmetric balance principle.

The person pretending to ask questions used an underhanded socratic method to assert what was happening about line-by-line and then demanded analog for their own premise as if it were mine instead of theirs. Youve fallen for a trick.

At least in the US, almost every automaker has contracted with Tesla for access to the Supercharger network. I am aware this is still a chokepoint that Musk could exercise control over while having a controlling interest in Tesla.
Can confirm using gemini, some figure numbers were hallucinated. I had to cross-check each row to make sure data extracted is correct.

I think this “it’s a money grab by the MTA” mentality is ignorant of the fact that no one thinks it was ever not a money grab. There is money to be grabbed by charging the drivers who put wear and tear on the streets. Manhattanites said “yes do this we don’t want the health effects from constant traffic, incentivize them not too drive in”. Drivers said “you can’t grab my money”. Manhattanites said “fine then don’t drive in”.

A money grab isn’t a bad thing, it’s a smart move for a highly romanticized city where space is precious.

Its one thing to have 5 minutes of ads per 60 as it was back in the days of just OTA TV. Quite another when you are hit with 30 or more seconds of ads on a 2 or 3 minute video.

I wish we could be more specific about these labels.
Whats a “complaint”?

Is that a disagreement over an empty seat or a woman getting burned to death. Are those in the same bucket?

Yes, “mentally ill man made me feel uncomfortable” is definitely underreported, but it’s hard to believe murders and assaults are underreported. And if those are down, this is a huge win.
What you say doesn't in and of itself, have any effect on this. If what you say is true then it's always the case that crime is underreported, always the case that crime is deleted from reported crime numbers, always the case that crimes get downgraded...

So given that this is a consistent property of reported crime, you still need to explain why the number of reported crimes is lower now than before.
I cannot agree that the simplicity of the 6502 wins over the 68000.

The 68000 has more registers and wider data types: but the registers are all uniformly the same. It's really just two registers A and D, copied a bunch of times in to D0 to D7, and A0 to A7. Whatever you can do with D0 can be done with D3 and so on. Some A's are dedicated, like for a stack pointer.

Simplicity of structure has to be balanced with simplicity of programming.

It's not that easy to program the 6502, because in moderately complex programs, you're constantly running into its limitations.

The best way to learn how to hack around the limitations of a tiny machine is to completely ignore them and become a seasoned software engineer. A seasoned engineer will read the instruction set manual in one setting, and other pertinent documents, and the clever hacks will start brewing in their head.

You don't have to start with tiny systems to get this skill. When you're new, you don't have the maturity for that; get something that's a bit easier to program with more addressing modes and easier handling of larger arrays, more registers, wider integers.
This is a give and take, both branches the congress and the executive are equal, and both are democratically elected. Some situations call for more of one.

Since WW2 we have had a growing unelected federal bureaucracy (staffed by college graduates more and more left-leaning), that is controlled by congress as you mentioned. Congress is run by seniority, most are re-elected every year and are elected along party lines without much thought. And most legislation is written by lobbyists and activists. People are apathetic about congress, there is not much democracy there. People care much more about the presidential election.

I think if you look at the actions of our federal government over past decades you will see it has not been very good for the health of the American people. I think any action by a president to take back some power from Congress to upend that order is a good thing. Throughout our history certain presidents have completely changed the federal government during their terms in office, and afterwards the title goes back to more complacent presidents. Over time systems decay and you may need to start with something new.
It's down to either the KIM-1 or the JOLT. The JOLT was advertised in December 1975 ( http://retro.hansotten.nl/6502-sbc/jolt-and-super-jolt/jolt/ ), compared with the 6502 which was being sampled around June or July. The KIM-1 was variously noted as early as winter 1975 but some sources say it wasn't available until 1976, but then the JOLT probably didn't get into people's hands until then either. I think it's logical that MOS would have been the first one to use their own chip but that's not a given. I have a ROR-less KIM-1, though, so there are systems dating from that early.
If it's not distributed with the tool, it is just "a make library".
I don't have stats, but I strongly suspect the set of NYC people aiming to burn others to death in public (and ruin their own lives in the process) is quite small. The presence of cameras is almost certainly a net positive for reducing crime
On a subway I smell a lot more
You are spot on. The surge is I believe expected for the next 6 months. I read there are 6 on each route.
I won’t presume to suggest a cause, but it’s worth acknowledging how terrifying it is that any of a number of compounds in a relatively small dose could cause wild effects on the human mind or body.
Most of these perceived advantages are not unique to the US. I think there are only two things that still make the US more attractive nowadays: higher salaries and more jobs available to immigrants than in other places. If these two things disappear, the whole proposition starts to fall apart.

That's a false equivalence which is at the heart of the issue. You seem to be be assuming that "being informed" makes you better placed and/or more willing to take right action, but I'm not convinced that's the case
Yeah, “a decent video player” feels like something that should be table-stakes commodity stuff, there are certainly a fair number of good open source video player components and toolkits with customizable skins and support for tons of playback formats and protocols. But no, this is actually something billion dollar companies struggle with.
What you're calling "left" is center-right in the rest of the developed world. None of those are left leaning. They are all pro-corporate, pro-capitalist, anti-worker "infinite growth forever" media. Some of the journalists who work for them are left, but the owners are largely conservative and force them to cover Democratic scandals just as much as Republican ones, while Fox News and other conservative media outlets just outright ignore Republican scandals entirely.

If mainstream media in America was left, Bernie would have just finished up his second term.
I went from BASIC straight to Assembly. I wish they had taught me Assembly when I was 9 years old (in the 1970s) instead of BASIC. Once I learned Assembly I never used BASIC again.
The era in which there was nothing but assembly language was very short-lived.

By the time the 1950s were over, we had higher level languages.

Like before The Beatles recorded their first album.
They won't after OpenAI used transformer and refused to give back.
6502 was my first assembly, though we didn't have an assembler - we entered raw opcodes into the Epyx FastLoad monitor on the C64. You kids with your symbol tables and your fancy mnemonics.

Even if that were true, I have absolutely no problem with MTA grabbing some well deserved money.
Yeah why does crime only count when it's poor person coded.
I love this. I've only been training very seriously for a year and a half or so, so I'm certainly not an expert of any kind. It just makes me feel good! I used to go to the chiropractor all the time, now I just work out and I feel better than I ever have. Instead of temporary fixes, my body works the way it was meant to. I think as a "tech guy" I always underestimated how powerful physical challenges can be for your mental fortitude.
Are they?

From your link: " According to data from the FBI,"

and that's a hyperlink to: https://www.safehome.org/resources/crime-statistics-by-state... ... which is not the FBI.

I'm sure there's a source table summary of FBI data at the bottom of the rabbit hole; your position would benefit from you finding that, reading it, and directly linking to it.

The "fun thing" about raw FBI crime data summaries is they have warts and issues .. many acknowledged on the tables themselves.

Crime reports are manipulated. A friend got hit in the head and NYPD refused to register it. Despite that, NYC is very safe compared to most of the US, and articles that say otherwise are just trying to manipulate you.
The wiki says that the KIM-1 was an internal design, and the Apple 1 was the first customer design.

"Another group inside [MOS] designed the KIM-1... One of the first "public" uses for the design was the Apple I microcomputer, introduced in 1976."

Thanks for newsminimalist - other than what comes up on HN it's the only news I read these days. It's usually just enough to keep me in touch without any of the outrage.
I would assume its not the "real" number as you pointed out. But as a proxy it still has value and still speaks to the safety of the NYC subway system.

The trend is what is important. Crime is dropping - and it was already fairly safe before and is only improving.

(Yeah, I live in NYC)
Has anyone ever actually gotten a pay raise with a promotion?

Or does that only happen in movies and fiction?

I feel like promotions are either a perverse tool for voluntary headcount reduction or a tool that shifts a perceived “problem” (lack of raises/advancement for the employee) to a different manager.

Also a short term retention tool since the promoted blindly thinks they’re going to get paid more for the higher responsibilities!
Interview for another company. When you interview you get to control the narrative and don’t have to worry about the promo doc. You’ll probably end up making less after your promotion than someone coming in at the same level.
The price is going up this year to sprint back to $20 which is what it should cost if not for all the whining from non-residents of Manhattan.
There have been sufferers ranging from age 18-85, and it affects both men and women in approximately equal numbers. Both of those things are highly suggestive of some kind of environmental cause. If this were an episode of House, a lot of peoples' homes would be getting broken into right about now.
There's people burned to death all over the US. Most of them were murdered by negligent road engineers.
