I understand why a lot of these extensions are not allowed, simply because of security issues. But I agree on RSS needs more work.

I continue to think RSS Reader should be a function of browser and shouldn't require a third party web or app to do it. In modern days I wish that could be married with a personal LLM so I could ask question about things I have read but I cant find it easily.
Great article, allowed me to learn about multi version concurrency control which I had never heard of, and in researching the topic I learned about optimistic concurrency control which I found even more interesting. It seems these two could be used in conjunction; OCC for efficient updates. MVCC for clean reads. Excited to play with these patterns in future projects (:
This honestly looks like C++ being feature-juryrigged to a degree that it doesn't even look like what C++ is: a c-derived low level language.

Everything is unobvious magic. Sure, you stick to a very restricted set of API usages and patterns, and all the magic allocation/deallocation happens out of sight.

But does that make it easier to debug? Better to code it?

This simply looks like C++ trying not to look like C++: like a completely different language, but one that was not built from the ground up to be that language, rather a bunch of shell games to make it look like another language as an illusion.
I am not understanding what is the issue here, or what is it that you are suggesting. Should the EU not do anything?
Fine by me. Tech companies can sort themselves into groups: those where such discussions are welcomed and those who run from them.

You're getting downvotes, but I agree that Isaacman isn't likely to favor SpaceX. The space community in general is very supportive of him, and he's shown a great interest in spaceflight regardless of who's launching the rockets.

Also keep in mind that his previous missions realistically were only possible via SpaceX whether he liked them or not. Starliner was not (and is still not) ready, Orion isn't ready and is for NASA only anyway, and Russia/China aren't going to work well for geopolitical reasons. SpaceX is the only company left who has the capability to lob you into orbit.
A Repository to Uncover Hallucinations in GPT
One reason is to be able to close the last window of an app without quitting it. Always bugged me how on windows, if I closed, say, the only word doc I had open, I had to relaunch word again (with all the loading time that that entailed) just to open a new doc. On a Mac you can close windows without worrying that you're also going to quit the app (except for apps that only support one window, although I do think it’s silly that every app doesn't just support multiple windows).
That is true. They place an aggregate demand creating jobs which is GDP.

Unfortunately, Rust is significantly less expressive than C++ and therefore is unlikely to replace it for high-performance systems code. As much as I don’t like C++, it is very powerful as a tool. The ability to express difficult low-level systems constructs and optimizations concisely and safely in the language are its killer feature. Once you know how to use it, other languages feel hobbled.
Air entrainment is critical for freeze-thaw protection, so any exposed concrete in places that have below freezing should have 5-6% air entrained.
Abstraction isn't the problem, overabstraction is; and I suspect the reason the latter is so common is because people don't actually understand why and when abstraction is useful (and likewise, when it isn't), so they blindly apply it whenever they can, with the misguided notion that since abstraction is somehow a good thing, the more abstract something is, the better it is.
I think it’s a good thing that other nations like China and India are making rapid progress in regards to space.

At this point I’m hopeful a space race happens driving competition to get to Mars. People can channel all the patriotic/nationalistic zeal productively toward the science and engineering involved in bringing humanity back to the Moon and to Mars and maybe even beyond.

The world would be a better place today if Android Chrome supported extensions. Users have so little control over their experience of using modern software. When the dominant browser on the most popular OS doesn't support extensions they just can't gain critical mass.

TBH I think you are underestimating the practicality of it. If we are co-working or co-inhabiting with non-static entities, this becomes a much bigger concern. There is a reason industrial robots are generally in safety cages, with rapid shutdown any time the safety boundary is crossed by a human.

Option 1
- my home robot makes a sudden movement, catching me off guard, and smacking me across the shins (or worse).

Option 2
- my robot loudly announces "warning, moving to the left in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1", which drives me insane after a few days.

Option 3
- my robot taps into a million years of non-verbal communication that humans have evolved, and indicates what it is about to do both with more subtle audible and physical cues.

PS: regarding "display attention" - trivial example, "hey assistant, remind me to do X on Sunday"

- option 1: no attention display, I have no idea whether my request has been recorded

- option 2: verbal or auditory or physical cue that assistant is listening, and a cue to confirm that the request was processed successfully.
For what it’s worth, I just took the parent comment’s wording as metaphor.

They should — like scrapping bureaucracy and regulation that is hostile to innovation and costly for businesses. The AI Act, the Digital Services Act, the Digital Markets Act, the EU Supply Chain Law, the GDPR etc. are all well intended. Albeit born out of anxiety and a false sense to be able to shield Europe from the bad consequences of modern technology. In effect, these regulations create a culture that is toxic for innovation. Resulting in venture capital avoiding Europe and founders leaving for better shores (ie. the US) to create the next billion dollar company.

By contrast, what the EU should absolutely, categorically NOT do is to create projects like this one. With an absurd number of participating organisations, dysfunctional project goals (like “compliance”) and the ballooning bureaucracy that ensues. What talent are they hoping to attract to this project? Any AI researcher with half a brain would avoid OpenEuroLLM, lest he (or she) drag down his (or her) career and waste precious lifetime for what is guaranteed to turn into another tombstone on Europe’s graveyard of ridiculous publicly funded technology projects.
I think this is a decent article, with some distilled wisdom... Though I also think it has some repeating status-quo mumbo-jumbo.

Every time somebody says a soft-science claim and presents it as a fact, I try to vet it with this heuristic: It can't just sound good, or satisfying, but is it actually true? Imagine whether a case can be made for the exact opposite statement, or whether there may be circumstances that the statement is obviously false.

For example, once a principal engineer asserted rather confidently, "At my level, the most important work you can do is usually in Jira." That's a claim that's hard to assess with any objectivity, but I can certainly imagine a different principal engineer feeling the exact opposite, and I can certainly think of many companies where they wouldn't hire/want a principal engineer primarily for Jira work.

Back to this article, any time somebody says "A manager is X" or a "staff is X" I think to myself... well can I think of a company that would want managers who focus almost entirely on not X? The answer is almost always yes.
> The author estimates that electricity prices would be reduced by up to 33% (from $0.45 blended rate to $0.30), but PG&E’s profit margins are only 11%.

One detail is that PG&E is a heavily and (IMO) incompetently regulated utility, and their profit margins are more or less set by regulation. So they inflate costs to drive up profits, and one should not assume that the only room for savings is removing their profit margin.

This is a fun toy. I have no problem naming toys after the serious people and things that inspired it. For all I know, that is exactly what the author of this toy intended to do. Toy isn’t even a denigrating term — play is critically important to many things, especially in visual art.

What gets old is the hubris of the tech world thinking that an artist’s intention and methods boil down to a superficial ‘style’— devoid of granular stroke-by-stroke intention, context, or meaning which you can apply to any arbitrary subject or setting to effectively create new works by that artist.
I have to admit that while this stuff has absolutely fascinated me for 40+ years, I have zero interest in seeing these vehicles succeed. I remember writing to NASA in the early days of the shuttle and getting back packets and packets of information. Not only is that interest missing, but part of me hopes they either fail miserably or stop getting government funding altogether.
Yes, that's why we need something stronger than the Church-Turing thesis.

See https://scottaaronson.blog/?p=735 'Why Philosophers should care about Computational Complexity'

Basically, what the brain can do in reasonable amounts of time (eg polynomial time), computers can also do in polynomial time. To make it a thesis something like this might work: "no physically realisable computing machine (including the brain) can do more in polynomial time than BQP already allows" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BQP
Meanwhile, Trump said this week that the FAA’s air traffic control network relies on “an old, broken system” and called for its replacement, according to the Associated Press.

“I think what is going to happen is we’re all going to sit down and do a great computerized system for our control towers. Brand new — not pieced together, obsolete,” he said.

Civilian passenger transport is a city aloft; at any moment in time globally some one million+ people are in the air.

Still, with the talent at hand here it's hard to see what could go wrong when hot swapping a bedded in system with a brand new thing and smoothly integrating into international traffic.

MIT License - We are Open Sourcing Subscription[REVENUECAT Alternative]in 2025
I am planning to build open source subscription platform in public..

Right now most sdk, have a vendor lock-in and they make it impossible to export your data..

Is it a good idea to self host subscription sdk?

Here to ask for advice and for volunteers..

-NextJs

-Redis

-Swift

-Kotlin

-Flutter

-React Native

-Docker

-Monorepo (NX)

To keep myself accountable,

HERE is the GitHub- https://github.com/WildBerry67/wildberry

The sdk will be launched with MIT license..

It will be 100% cursor compatible..

One-click deployment via Coolify

All contributions are welcome!!! we need help with documentation too..

We did a post on r/Saas yesterday and it was huge success,

However we still need more volunteers to help us lay foundational bricks for generations to come.
Why would you use ChatGPT to draw diagrams? It’s a generative language model. Just because you can doesn’t mean it’s the best tool for the job.
In theory, you could make it happen with:

- a db

- a db browser

- a {bookmarks,browser,etc}-to-db tool

For instance,

- sqlite

- datasette https://datasette.io/

- pocket-to-sqlite https://datasette.io/tools/pocket-to-sqlite

Furthermore, you could integrate e.g. Claude with this, by creating a lightweight model-context-protocol server that lets Claude browse through datasette. You would probably want to throw in a vector db in-between somewhere, so you could get semantic search over bookmarks to work nicely.
Can you describe those options further or send references to where I can read more, specially about the API for App-V you mention? I was looking, like OP, into writing a minifilter to overlay files and folders for game modding purposes, mostly (I know of Detours - but I think injecting is somewhat dirty), but I'd rather it be done in usermode given driver signing costs and all.
Show HN: DocDown – Documentation scraper (incl. related links) to Markdown
DocDown is a customizable web scraper designed to extract documentation content from any webpage. It scrapes HTML content, processes related links, and generates clean Markdown output. Intended for feeding it as context to LLMs.

There are a bunch of scrapers out there, this is just a dirty solution that covers my personal use-cases. I look forward to include more customization for choosing models (for example using smaller local models), but for now it's practically free for personal use given Gemini API's great rate limits.
I would argue that if something may not fail you can only pretend to privatize. You only privatize the profit during the good times.

Our railroads paid a nice 300m in divident every year then corona came, people were told to stay home. You can guess who had to pay for the lack of travelers.

The most silly are ISP's. The prices in each country depend on how much people can pay and what you get for it is rng
Yes, for now, it supports only the local network. But... I think I can deploy server to make it online as well
I think the computing requirements to run a local agent are high enough that it'll always be more niche than browsers and certainly unlikely on phones, which already means you're probably running it on the cloud or something.

The underlying problem is that utilities are set up assuming their capital investments pay out over an extended period, but the technology is now changing over shorter timescales. The electric power industry is changing at a rate that it hasn't seen for over a century.
>I have so many tabs open that I run out of memory

Are you on Safari? If so even switching to Chrome would have helped, and if you are have more than a hundred tabs than use Firefox.

>Bookmarks suck, search sucks, saving browser sessions sucks

Completely agree as it has been the case for the last 25+ years since Tabs were invented.

I keep the Tabs opened as more like a ToDo-List. Saving me from going back and forth so I understand your frustration. Having drop down list in Chrome and Firefox allows you quickly Garbage collect from unused tabs. Which is already much better than the old days as this is a fairly recent additions. ( May be pass ~5 years )

Tree-Tabs sounds good in theory but in practice over the past 15+ years or so most of the tree tabs implementation dont work for me. Mostly an UI issue. Category of Tabs or sometimes called Tab Group seems to be the closest thing. I actually quite like Tab Groups on Chrome, and surprisingly Firefox over the years have tried many implementation but nothing like what chrome has offered ( at least by default )

I use Tab groups on both Safari and Chrome, one group for HN, one group for RSS feed. These two groups keep nearly 80-90% of new tabs generation for me already. So while it is not perfect it is a lot less of a mess than what I had. The rest are random thoughts that came up into my mind and I need some tabs research into it.
this is entirely wrong. There is no world in which rural areas can substitute the power grid with anything you described. It is not possible - in the absolute sense - to match the power grid's reliability and stability with a bunch of local solutions. The cost is another matter but take Canada - the lowest electricity rates in the OECD.

The local solution to solve local problem absolutely works, but that is not what you are describing.

Africa is not going to substitute a continental scale grid with solar and batteries. That's just pie-in-the-sky levels of delusion.
> one place for the user's documents

And yet far too many apps dare to put their files there. Drives me absolutely insane.
Oh for sure there's some bullshit out there. The self-attestations of the DoD alone are laughable. But I have also seen a number of critical systems with no inspection. Water, power, financial, health care, emergency services, etc. The kind of shit that from a National Security perspective we should have some eyes on, but don't.
Why would it be any different from assessing us in person? The only good thing to come out of AI so far IMO is that leetcode puzzles are basically useless now.
Average humans cannot be copy-pasted.
Extensions are the main reason I use Firefox on Android. I'm more committed to it there than I am on desktop.

Of course, Firefox also broke extensions on Android for several years, during which I mostly used a lightly tweaked Chromium build called Kiwi Browser.
This. While I don’t make my own extensions or bookmarklets, I chose to develop for the web because of its openness and how it’s not owned by a singular entity. I do not want to be at the mercy of Apple or Google with their distribution channels.

With Google’s manifest v3 debacle, it’s clear we need to fight continuously and ruthlessly to keep the web for the people.
I don't think there are any hard dependencies to deploy it on the web, tho have not tried. Might need to find a few alternative packages.

I agree that `engine` is a strong word - still early days :)
https://code.golf/ also has scoreboards for x86-64 Linux binaries.
Less-Than Estimation
Extensions do give the user more power - I guess that's part of the reason they are not available on mobile.

I think Brave could be a pioneer here and add a further point of differentiation by allowing extensions.
Thanks, I will take a look

Ah thanks. I think I was confused by the “Approved for Release 2011” in the PDF that OP provided but now I see that that might have just been for the PDF and not the document overall.
IMHO part of the problem stems from teaching without carefully stating the nature of what is explained. A teacher should check that the audience reasonably knows what 'convention' means, how it differs from 'abstraction', 'truth', 'theory', 'measured fact'...

Bonus: explicitly recognizing that many terms (along with other conventions) aren't adequate. According to the knowledge of those who coined them they appeared adequate at the time, and replacing them may induce confusions, would condemn existing knowledge and writings, and isn't perfectly effective as the new convention may even prove inadequate later. I used to say that we may consider them as tributes to the the wonderful people who coined them.
Trump won by a very small margin, 1.5%, and didn't even get 50% of the popular vote. It isn't a "landslide" or "mandate" no matter how many times they claim it. Yes, Trump won, but that isn't grounds for ignoring the constitution. There is a separation of powers and Trump can't delegate powers which aren't his to Musk to delegate to technoboys.
I don't care, any OS that claims inspiration from Plan9 is doomed from the start, it's Unix done right which is exactly the worst possible thing.
