If you don't do marketing / ads in your UI it's unexpectedly easy to make it easy to use.

If, instead, you force the user to do things he doesn't want to do in order to get access to the things he wants to do, it's inevitable that the UI becomes frustrating, no matter how much care you put into it.
If Government A and Government B are not equally "good" for the world, then the world is _not_ better off if everyone disclosed, since the main users of CNE are LE/IC.
Cloudflare has essentially broken the internet. Blocking or restricting access of even residential IPs running in a real, common browser is evil. And just like that, we handed over the internet to a handful of companies, like it was never ours to begin with.
> AI is bad, yes, but bad AI is still useful. Therefore, bad AI is here to stay, and we must deal with it.

IDK having lived through what computers could do in the 90s, current capabilities don't seem at all bad to me...

But I get what he's saying. It's not so much about whether it is good or bad, but how useful it is. By looking at my ever-growing AI bills (ChatGPT pro, Anthropic API costs from constantly testing, developing, and using RA.Aid and running other agents, etc.,) AI most definitely is useful, at least for me.
Let's address the purpose of the "savings". It's to finance a tax cut for billionaires. (I'm not making this up.)

It is proven that "trickle down" economics is a fraud (Nobel Prize proven) and that helping the middle class lifted the economy, even for those billionaires.
China hiding exploits it find has a large jmpace on Us policy. Should the Us reveal every zero day it knows, in a theoretical conflict with china China will have zero days US didnt know about but the US will have none.
Malicious NPM package targets prettier library
"But other countries do it too" is whataboutism, no matter how many other countries that is; it doesn't invalidate the criticism no matter the number. So I ask again: is the real counterargument that actually this is perfectly fine to do?
It's nothing like that complicated. They just need to retuculate the splines.
This is truly unconscionable and completely indefensible. All the Musk defenders have to realize that mass firing and zero base budgeting is fine and well for a private company like Twitter. But not for governments. Even if you don't believe in foreign aid, it is completely immoral and unethical to abandon all these people who are participating in clinical trials. You do it in an orderly way, allowing ongoing trials to finish the phase they are in.
I don’t know much about CISA and if their responsibilities are overlapping with other agencies that cover the same things. But one thing that I sometimes think about is that the entire DHS (which CISA is a part of) did not exist until after 9/11. Now it’s a huge organization that is bigger than most large companies even, and expects to spend over $100 billion this year. That is an absolutely massive amount of money - it’s more than what Meta, Google, and Microsoft spend in total on R&D each year!
You’re moving the goal posts of this conversation by redefining the word power.

My point stands.
I'm dying on that hill.
You might be asking it too much, or not giving it enough context.

I've found the Cursor Agent to work great when you give it a narrow scope and plenty of examples.
Honestly I think moving up in a layer of abstraction is not the same as something resembling an intelligent agent.
Yes, I prefer to have no direct access to the database from the client, just go through my API, and my API handles ACLs and do the SQL calls
What non-federal crimes and in what state are these crimes being committed that would give any state the jurisdiction to punish and incarcerate?
You can't hoard knowledge, just like you can't take it away.
Does anyone have more information regarding whether this effect is only observed in humans? I've always assumed that this is just how most animal bodies work, for the obvious energy and resource conservation reasons.
The 3 gigabit ports unsells this off the bat. Proposing its openness as something special is a joke because reality is that there are better hardware alternatives already available within the same price range that can have OpenWrt ported to if not already.

If you’re going to try to sell the hacker mentality, why not take it to a platform such as the Alta Route10 (available yesterday with much better specs incl. PoE).

And anyone who has dealt with Freescale IP will also tell you it’s a dumpster fire. There is no longevity here, only gimmicky marketing. OpenWrt is also tooting the same bs horn with their OpenWrt One, yesterdays specs for tomorrow.
The PZL-230 Skorpion Was the Soviet Response to the A-10 Warthog
OK, I guess first you might want to read it.
Again and tediously: the only reason anyone would use that sequence of words would be to invoke Ranum's (in)famous "Six Dumbest Ideas In Computer Security" post, one of which was, in effect, "the entire modern science of software security".

I recommend, in the future, that if you want to pursue a security policy angle in discussions online with people, you avoid using that term.
Ok, I did twist your words a bit -- fair enough. But given that statues were torn down without first conducting referendums first to ensure that most people were in support of the razing, you were opposed to that action?
1600 J6 people to for 1600 others
The best "Paper Apps" concept I've ever experienced was the "Ace of Aces" series of books, published by Nova. Two books, one for you and one for a friend, in a airplane dogfight, where through a complicated page-flipping mechanism, you each see your own first person view of the other person's plane.
Lost cities of the Amazon: science is revealing ancient towns hidden
AFAIAA the joke comes from Arch's purported superiority (rolling release, close to upstream, bleeding edge, KISS) as compared to "bloated/slow" e.g. Ubuntu. It's kinda old now and existed even before the controversial switch to systemd from SysVinit/rc.conf.
Soaring egg prices are piquing interest in backyard chickens
You're focusing on the wrong kind of pedantry.

"Marginalized" has a specific connotation, sure, but people can be marginalized for reasons other than, or in addition to, those that fit the connotation.
Author here. Microsoft is a soft Go fork mostly for internal Microsoft needs, but some projects outside of Microsoft use it as well due to it's good FIPS 140 story. I expect some of these users to switch back to Google's Go now that it will also ship with a FIPS-140 crypto stack.

That only works if the edit buffer is blank or only has commented out lines. In other cases, such as when you're trying to cancel a `git commit --amend` that loads up the last commit message in your buffer, :q! will not cancel the commit, but :cq will.
Neat dive on this topic, and I appreciate calling out Timberborn! I'm obsessed with that game currently, big big big recommendation if you haven't checked it out yet. The water physics are like another character in the game and figuring out how to dam up a bunch of water to use in your engines and to water your fields is an essential part of the gameplay loop.
As always, the edge cases, which you will be aware of by talking to domain experts or the experience of managing the production services for years. There's a reason we're still running decades old software written in no longer maintained programming languages. The only valuable specs was always the code.
Then the counterargument to "the US shouldn't be hiding exploits it knows" isn't "but China does it too", it's "actually the US should be doing exactly that because it's in its best interest".

I did the interviews for grad recruitment in tech at a big investment bank in London. The best maths and computer science graduates where frequently from the Eastern European countries.
Putting the openly biased/partisan (and more often than not intentionally deceptive) media sources at the same level as major networks, digital media, and the low end of international media seems like a mistake to me. It lends an undeserved level of credibility to the extremely biased sources, and at the same time unfairly conflates the other media sources with them.

So does the Digital Media group as a whole - it seems overly reductive, and the sources are too varying in quality/reliability to be given the same weight. And does something like Time really fit in there, considering they've been print media for the vast majority of their existence?

(Love the project overall, though! Thanks for creating and sharing.)
Whether FIPS 140 is actually a good target for cryptography is another question

Answer to that question: it is not. It's a thing you only do when you are forced to by some requisitions process.
Redbean is indeed so cool.

wow, it ain't pretty!
I left the Scala ecosystems (mostly) a year or 4 ago, right around the release of Scala 3. It's a shame that the compatibility and tooling situation doesn't seem to have improved much since then. The Scala devs always said they wanted to avoid a Python 2->3 situation, but it seemed like they didn't quite achieve that.
I can see there also being applications in industry. Some of the “expressions” of the lamp in the video look like they signal what it’s about to do. I can see that type of expression being useful to people who are working around robots, to know what they might do next, which could be useful for safety.
idk here in India, we have 2FA for everything. I would say it very rarely fails, speaking from personal experience.
The post appears to have a lot of points in a relatively short amount of time (165 in 3h). I wonder why it has fallen of the front page of hn.
Yesterday I read an /r/singularity post in awe cus of a screenshot of a lead management platform from OAI in a japan convention supposedly meant a direct threat to SalesForce. Like, yeah sure buddy.

I would say most acceleracionist/AI bulls/etc don't really understand the true essential complexity in software development. LLMs are being seen as a software development silver bullets, and we know what happens with silver bullets.
The whole "browser integrity check" thing is bullshit.
I love this and it’s great - but really it is somewhat tangentially based on a short excerpt of five or six bars borrowed from the theme.

But, equally, that’s true of a lot of music.
The rant was

"whoever it is I challenge that person to grow some fucking male anatomy and come and speak to me ... you little female anatomy plural you are just fucked up"

Fairly shocking language but also pretty devoid of context although I come to suspect it has to do with people talking behind her back regarding the second part.

The second case appears to be a fellow who was publicly libeled professionally ruined and then sued the shit out of the offender. According to him this was solely because he had dumped community rep. In the settlement they admitted that they had circulated the letter claiming he was a serial sexual harasser based on no evidence but unverified claims. Settled for a rather paltry sum of £5000.

So community rep and contributor split for whatever reasons and then she shit talks him spreading possibly true likely untrue claims that he's a particular type of jerk which she likely can't back up with anything like evidence other than her own now terminated relationship.

If they didn't fire her they probably believe that she was in the right but settled.

No part of this probably belonged as part of professional life and should have stayed between them. I don't believe enough evidence exists for people who don't know either party to declare anyone a villain and if I had any professional involvement with either I would simply pretend none of that existed and move on.

If I was merely using the code I would definitely ignore it.
It's ridiculous to me that a journalist can provide clear evidence that dei initiatives were used to discriminate against people and you can dismiss it by calling it wokeness.
DeepSeek is "TikTok on steroids" senator warns amid push for government-wide ban
I call your bluff. Do it.
Perhaps, but at that point I feel like I'm spending more time feeding the tool the right prompt and context, going back and forth with corrections, etc... when I could just write the code myself with less time and hassle.

I've definitely had far more success with using AI as a fuzzy search or asking it for one-off pieces of functionality. Any time I ask it to interact directly inside my codebase, it usually fails.
Does anyone else notice how similar that is in spirit to what a malicious actor would look to do after gaining access to your network?
Which means that the current vc-software-ecosystem is the walking dead. The front end webdev is now going to do things that previously took a 10 person startup.

You really think the police don’t know when someone gets pushed onto the tracks?

Anyway:

> There were 10 murders on the subway in 2024, up from 3 in 2019. People were pushed onto the tracks 25 times in 2024.

Meanwhile, car crashes killed 253 people in 2024 — 10× the number of track pushings and 25× the number of subway murders, according to your data.

People appeal to emotion with lurid stories like the woman burned alive because the whole “the subway is dangerous!” narrative falls apart when you actually look at the data (and frankly when you actually ride it).
Parrots struggle when told to do something other than mimic their peers
The standard way to do this was to sell a license for a specific major version. It goes through a lifecycle where it's initially the most current, then gets superseded by a new major version and maybe gets a few more bug fixes, and at some point one of those releases is the last one for that major version and it's done. Buyers can continue using it forever, but there's no maintenance/enhancement cost, and support can be stopped too if you want.

This worked for decades and continues to work today for some companies. It's not a Ponzi scheme in any sense.
There is no strong evidence of anything yet, but consider how long it took to "prove" to society's satisfaction that cigarettes are harmful, despite most scientists finding the lung cancer connection quite clear from pretty early. Comprehensive and long term data takes a long time. It could be worth it to be cautious in the meantime.

If microplastics are making our lives 10% worse in some dimension, we will have to stumble onto what that dimension would be basically by luck and then spend at least a decade rigorously studying it before we could make useful assertions.

The hubub about microplastics is that, we don't have great civilization wide health data on most health dimensions, so we don't even have good baselines to figure whether we have regressed in many ways. IF there is a negative effect, it will effect everyone all over the planet and there is no escape

It's an extreme corner of the likelihood/amount of harm graph, and some people think that corner of the graph warrants caution even before harm is proven.

It's the same situation we faced with leaded gasoline, and the US is pretty bad when it comes to those kinds of "mild, diffuse harm that mostly affects people who can't afford whatever system the wealthy use to avoid the harm" problems.

It's not fearmongering, we are literally gambling that microplastics have minimal harm right now.

Penguin UI: Free copy and paste Tailwind 4.0 and Alpine.js components
The 65816 is a pain to code for. It has what's basically a segmented memory architecture with only two segment registers: D (data bank) and P (program bank).

You can't just make a 24-bit pointer w/o doing things using the direct page, which is admittedly a bigger problem for a C compiler than an assembler.

You always have to be able to know what mode the 'A' register is in (8/16) as well as the index registers. These are separate switches. Even disassembling code on the '816 is tainted by this, because for any section of code you look at, you have to know what mode the thing is in to accurately disassemble the code.

So basically, it's a 16-bit processor, sometimes which is a bit maddening.

Could you be a bit more explicit?

(My understanding of how physicists use the term "momentum": they use it to describe a particular precisely defined physically meaningful quantity, which plays an important role in physics. This seems like an entirely reasonable, even admirable thing. But there seems to be a tone of disapproval in what you say. The obvious complaint about mathematicians' use of "game" would be something like: they took an ordinary word with an ordinary everyday meaning and used it to mean something weird and technical. But that's absolutely not what physicists do with "momentum"; the everyday uses are derived from the physicists' term.[1] So I'm confused.)

[1] There are actually pre-physics meanings of "momentum" but they are long dead . E.g., it could once mean 1/40 of an hour.
I think googles could care less about what darpa is doing. How would I know? I'm a darpa PM and google isn't reaching out to me or my team.

I think what you are seeing is correlation but not causation. Stanford was working on self driving long before darpa, same with cmu. The darpa money was just a bonus but I don't think it pushed anything ahead.

After the first few years of the darpa challenge, many teams were able to finish. Yet here we are in 2025 and I cam get bounding box detections on video to not jitter or drop between frames because of some unlucky pixel combination. Humans have zero issues and aren't even able to perceive these minute differences.

My guess is vision will be solve in about 18 months using methods developed purely in industry.
When I was a kid(~1980), I remember our microwave had a removable temperature probe you could insert into the food. I don't know if it was just for informative purposes or if it controlled the cooking however.

You can't really generalize cycles based on chemistry alone. Battery management and usage matters. But two examples with NCA/NMC chemistry:

- The Tesla Powerwall 2 battery warranty[1] is for effectively 3650 cycles (daily cycle for 10 years).

- Many cases of Tesla cars at 200k mileage (~1000 cycles, depends on battery size) with less than 15% capacity loss[2].

And these batteries didn't die after reaching the high number of cycles, they just retained less capacity.

Show HN: Copilot Next Edit Suggestions in VS Code
Hi HN, long time reader here, working on VS Code since before it was called so. You probably don't know me, but among other things, I'm probably responsible for the silent eradication of mixed line endings from your code ;-). Please don't upvote https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/127

I wanted to get your honest feedback on the new UX we've built for Next Edit Suggestions or NES for short. For the past few weeks, we've been doing, tweaking and redoing many things trying to get NES to feel right. But I think we can still improve it.

The team would love if you could please try it out for a few minutes and give us some honest feedback (you need to sign in with GitHub, install the Copilot extension and enable `"github.copilot.nextEditSuggestions.enabled": true`).

Please open issues at https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-copilot-release/issues or let me know in comments how it feels.

Thank you!

Bjarne Stroustrup (the creator of C++) is the best language designer. Many language designers will create a language, work on it for a couple years, and then go and make another language. Stroustrup on the other hand has been methodically working on C++ and each year the language becomes better.
The number of legitimate users on "not chrome, edge, safari, or firefox" is about 10% of the browser market. I don't know about you, but if I'm running a shop, and the whole point of my website is to make sales, but my front door is preventing 10% of those sales? That door is getting replaced.
What combinations of tools do you use for your workflows?

I'm seeing lots of hype, and some real amazing results, but all of the new tools still seem to struggle at being a net positive when codebases get large or non-trivial. Makes it much much easier to build something useful but basic, but not that much easier to build something large or excellent.
