Bun does not handle TSX at the runtime level because Bun uses JavaScriptCore as its runtime and JavaScriptCore does not support TS(X).

Bun transpiles all typescript code before executing it in the JavaScriptCore runtime. That's an implicit on-startup build step.

I'll bite;

- When I search for recent news e.g. "australian medical staff jewish" (current topic), all the results are left leaning responses. I would mostly prefer to see the original video without commentary and uncut, and also would like to see more right wing responses. (A lot of issues over the years that were right leaning would just surface late night comedians mocking the right wings perspective on such issues)

- Looking up medical or scientific claims that are "indisputable" e.g. climate change, covid. I was curious to see Kari Mullis speak about his claims around hiv/aids correlation but only one or two videos exist, I had to go to the alt-youtubes to find speeches and lectures he did.
Ah yes, the definition of Bikeshedding
Same. Probably they just laid off their UX guy.
I always hear about projects like this or even back before Swift, like Codename One which allows iOS apps to be written with Java and my question is- does anyone actually use these? Why do this rather than use React Native, Flutter, Kotlin Multiplatform, even .NET MAUI or whatever Microsoft is on? One would assume that if these were good solutions more people would be adopting them.
This kind of decision is also probably easily bike shedded.
I note that they did not bother trying to summarize that notorious mishmash of miscellany, 'git checkout'. But how could they have?
These rare interactions with matter are also a cause of concern in voting machines, right? Or at least it was a concern at one point. A random bit being flipped or something.
Opt-out would be one thing, but it's actually opt-in for network isolation, and a project can disable all sandboxing with just a .bazelrc. Nix does have ways to opt-out of sandboxing, but you can't do it inside a Nix expression: if you ran Nix with sandbox = true, anything being able to escape or bypass the sandbox restrictions would be a security vulnerability and assigned a CVE. Disabling the sandbox can only be done by a trusted user, and it's entirely out-of-band from the builder. For Bazel, the sandbox is mostly just there to prevent accidental impurities, but it's not water tight by any means.

Ultimately, I still think that Nix provides a greater degree of isolation and reproducibility than Bazel overall, and especially out of the box, but I was definitely incorrect when I said that Bazel's sandbox doesn't/can't block the network. I did dive a little deeper into the nuances in another comment.[1]

> What does nix do on these systems?

On macOS, Nix is not exactly as solid as it is on Linux. It uses sandbox-exec for sandboxing, which achieves most of what the Nix sandbox does on Linux, except it disallows all networking rather than just isolated networking. (Some derivations need local network access, so you can opt-in to having local network access per-derivation. This still doesn't give Internet access, though: internet access still requires a fixed-output derivation.) There's definitely some room for improvement there but it will be hard to do too much better since xnu doesn't have anything similar to network namespaces afaik.

As for the toolchain, I'm not sure how the Nix bootstrap works on macOS. It seems like a lot of effort went in to making it work and it can function without XCode installed. (Can't find a source for this, but I was using it on a Mac Mini that I'm pretty sure didn't have XCode installed. So it clearly has its own hermetic toolchain setup just like Linux.)

YouTube is such a horribly designed site. The best feature they've added in ages is the queue option, bet even that is busted as hell. Half the time an "add to queue" button appears on the thumbnail of the video, but the other half of the time it doesn't and you have to click the ellipsis menu. Even when you can click the button, it will select element of the page which leaves the video auto playing unless you hover back over it to stop. The queue itself disappears if you close and re-open the tab which is plain annoying. The video player itself sometimes breaks and requires me to reload the page. Ambient mode is annoying and I dislike it being on by default. Sometimes I click on a thumbnail but it has an on-hover action that spawn a link to their "about sponsored content" page right over the thumbnail where I wanted to click on the video, then when I hit the back button the home page has refreshed and the video I wanted to watch is gone.

The US worked with all printer manufacturers to add watermarking. In theory they could work with fabs or service providers to embed instruction detection, , similar to how hosting providers do mining instruction detection.

> Is this new wave of criticism about AI/AGI valid? We will only really know in retrospect.

One thing that should be completely obvious by now is that the current wave of generative AI is highly asymmetric. It's shockingly more powerful in the hands of grifters (who are happy to monetise vast amounts of slop) or state-level bad actors (whose propaganda isn't impeded by hallucinations generating lies) than it is in the hands of the "good guys" who are hampered by silly things like principles.
I hugely disagree on "leave the thing alone."

A whole lot of nooks and crannies of the AWS console are missing major convenience UI features, and usually when a console is redesigned it solves some reasonably major pain points.
I sense that, albeit slowly, big companies are moving back to more complicated skeuomorphic-like designs.

Here YouTube’s adding a (very subtle) gradient. Better examples may be: compare the newest macOS icons to those from the Sierra (?); and the new Reddit logo has a slight 3D effect, while I remember the old one was flat.

Allegedly styles and fashion go in cycles, so maybe minimalism is going out of fashion. I doubt we’ll get old YouTube or OS X Snow Leopard, but we’ll get something different.
It recalls to mind Don Quixote. Is it madness or genius? In the case of great art; who can rightly say.

The poem won't be unique. It will follow a basic formula and make sure to pick up the words you asked it to use. You might not get the exact same poem every single time, but there's a reason that you can tell when something has been generated.

A good recent example are the lyrics of the songs on an album by a band called Saor. The album is called Amidst the Ruins.

That's exactly what it is. The normalization of "free" street parking does a lot of damage here.
What’s frustrating about tech industry is that they are probably getting paid multiple hundred thousands of dollars for this. Meanwhile I know of engineers at Google who are being managed out for “performance reasons” after being gaslighted into working 60+ hour work weeks.
I often think about how much more cost effective some companies' products would be if they would decide their product is "done" and that they accepted moving on into a cash cow type of phase.

There are major websites and web-based products like Craigslist, Wikipedia, and Steam that are handling insane Internet traffic with comparatively tiny levels of staffing when compared to YouTube or other giants.

I think those companies have accepted that there is no rush to make major innovations or changes and that hiring a large army of talent is far less cost effective than having teams that are small enough for everyone to know each other.

Same here. It took six designers to change the color of the YouTube logo, but the design department of a company that built its entire existence on the web can’t build a functioning website.

Design is how it works. And your website doesn’t work.

For gaming GPUs the 5090 is something like 20-50% better than the 4090 in raster performance.
I know I sound silly and dumb for feeling so strongly about something so small, but the gradient really gets on my nerves. It is indeed so subtle as to make it feel like something is wrong with the display, but not subtle enough that I don't notice it _every time_.

Similarly, the "glow" they introduced a while back makes it feel like I'm getting the worlds worst backlight bleed.

Mercifully I use FreeTube to watch YouTube which saves me from these design choices.
You might think so at first glance, but if you multiply a regular parking space (9' x 18', 162 sq ft) by the median price per sq ft of a normal house ($244) you get $36288. Obviously these figures are specific to the US, but cars take up more space than you think, either because we're usually inside them or because we're just used to it.

For a whole parking garage you need many large I-beams, tons of concrete, frequently elevators are added, etc. Not surprising builders opt out of including them when they can.
You might be interested to learn that Trump's cabinet has at least 9 women, one of whom was the Governor of South Dakota, another who was an Attorney-General of Florida, and another who is a reserve duty Lieutenant-Colonel in the Army.

Most Senate Democrats have voted against their respective confirmations, by the way.

We are quite fine having women as leaders if they are actually competent and charismatic like it would be the case with men. Neither HRC nor Harris were that; the former was reviled and the latter couldn't even speak coherently. The Democrats can easily get a woman elected President if they would simply choose a good candidate with policies that resonate with the electorate.

The numbers of one to ten across the three main Indo-European namely Sanskit, English and German just confirmed they are from the same language tree.

The same goes to Malay-Austronesian language family that is spoken in Taiwan, Malay archipelago and further away in Polynesian islands including native people of New Zealand and Hawaii, their numbers of one to ten are very similar accross very wide geographical area confirming they are from the same language tree. Fun facts their most common word is (nyior/nyiur) which further cemented their status as the community with largest number of islands because coconut tree is trademark of their islands environment.

Well, for options it's more complicated than that - you can have ISOs that convert to NSOs to allow people to defer having to exercise illiquid options when they leave the company. So that's where my options question was coming from - the scenario you describe is VERY common in a scenario where ISOs have converted to NSOs upon leaving the company.

But okay, you have RSUs - how familiar are you with your agreement? It could have been a double trigger vesting arrangement, where the shares "semi-vest" over time, but then they don't fully vest until a liquidity event, at which point poof suddenly all of those ghost shares become REAL shares. If that's the case, they likely baked in a process for employees to have those shares withheld, or auto-sold during the lockup period. It's all tied in with their HR system and other payroll processes to make that easy.

Another scenario is that at some point since you left, or right before the IPO, they re-issued everyone's shares to be a different share class, because they wanted to clean up their cap table before going public. For employees they could just fix that for them, because again - all baked into the existing systems. For previous employees (and people who were gifted stock and former board members and advisors and angel investors and whoever else), they don't have an easy way to fix this. The old stock class technically doesn't exist because its been converted, so they can't sell to cover, and when they convert, they couldn't automate that because they don't have your withholding information and other payroll details for compliance purposes.

In either scenario, it's worth either reading your agreement carefully and/or talking to an attorney. Regardless, however, if this was related to an IPO, the legal and compliance stuff on this is going to be buttoned up and carefully done, so assume that (however unfair) they either have to do this in this fashion or it's much easier for them to do it this way (or some combination of both). It is possible to do very shady things during a private transaction, even a private transaction with a publicly traded company, but not for an IPO.

There are companies that will loan you money to cover vesting costs or these types of situations - they'll do it at shitty rates, but if the options are losing out on a windfall or losing an extra 10-20% on the windfall, it's worth considering.

>Dev Kit includes distribution of a cut down QEMU x86_64 emulator, ASM compiler and source code, along with extra utilities. These are packaged with a win32 platform in mind.
You could definitely do that, I think the main thing stopping anyone is simply lack of demand for that specific feature. That, and also it might be hard to keep track of what things are properly reproducible; you can kind of only ever prove for sure that a package is not reproducible. It could be non-deterministic but only produce differences on different CPUs or an infinitesimally small percentage of times. Actually being able to assure determinism would be pretty amazing although I don't know how that could be achieved.
Our whole nation can't make computers, just specialized individuals. This is what happens to a society as it advances. We don't all need to do everything, we fit specific roles, and it's a real problem in modern society.

Suddenly people need specific degrees to do entry level positions, making it difficult to move from one vocation to another without returning to school and getting another degree or diploma. We have the potential to do those other roles, but the specialization demands focus and time. This problem has nothing to do with AI, and its use isn't going to change that dynamic.
Gut microbiota functions:metabolism of nutrients and other food components(2017)
The diverse microbial community that inhabits the human gut has an extensive metabolic repertoire that is distinct from, but complements the activity of mammalian enzymes in the liver and gut mucosa and includes functions essential for host digestion. As such, the gut microbiota is a key factor in shaping the biochemical profile of the diet and, therefore, its impact on host health and disease. The important role that the gut microbiota appears to play in human metabolism and health has stimulated research into the identification of specific microorganisms involved in different processes, and the elucidation of metabolic pathways, particularly those associated with metabolism of dietary components and some host-generated substances. In the first part of the review, we discuss the main gut microorganisms, particularly bacteria, and microbial pathways associated with the metabolism of dietary carbohydrates (to short chain fatty acids and gases), proteins, plant polyphenols, bile acids, and vitamins. The second part of the review focuses on the methodologies, existing and novel, that can be employed to explore gut microbial pathways of metabolism. These include mathematical models, omics techniques, isolated microbes, and enzyme assays.
Been working through the accounts of a deceased family member over the past few years. They left a password file that made its way to me so I’m able to log in to most things “as them.” My goal is to harvest anything the family might want as a memory: messages, photos, etc., and to clean up (close) all their accounts to prevent identity theft.

A few notes of interesting things I’ve found:

Observing inbound mail for over a year is by far the best way to learn where a person has accounts. I found a ton of services that weren’t listed in the password file by seeing “year end summary” or “we’ve updated our terms” emails. And then of course email access is useful to reset the password and get in.

No one sends more fucking email than politicians. It’s honestly insane how many emails came in daily to this account from all sorts of a candidates, from all over the country. The email list sharing is blatant and rampant. And without regular pruning (unsubscribing, marking as spam), the volume just grows and grows.

Some companies have very handy “close and delete this account” features. Some let you end a paid subscription, but there’s no way to remove the account. In one case I killed a subscription to a paper and then was able to log in as the deceased 4 years later! But many services do prune: in many cases, trying to log in years later failed.

When there was not a “delete account” feature, I filed a support request to delete, explaining that the account holder had passed away. When that did not work I filed a legal request to delete personal data, citing the data privacy law of the state in which the deceased resided. That worked well.

I ended up paying to keep the deceased’s phone number active for a while because I kept finding accounts that were set to send SMS codes to permit login. The deceased was good about security, which ended up costing me, ha. Notably, the mobile provider never cut off the number or seemed to notice that a dead person’s phone was still active. As long as the bill gets paid, they don’t look too closely I guess.

>Does anyone else find this article's writing style to have some hints of AI?

"I think this is AI" is the least interesting, lowest-signal comment one can make here on HN, beating out perennial contenders "I hate this scroll bar", "this site hijacks my back button", and "why does this site require JavaScript?"

If you can actually make an AI detector that works, do that and print money for yourself. Otherwise accept that all "AI detectors" have massive false positive rates, your intuition included.

If visitors like what they see on the page, they will up vote it. If they don't, they won't. That's how HN works.
It's also unfortunate for a lot of heavy JS libs out there that they can't be cached locally anymore, but security is important.

One WASM-related case I've actually encountered in the wild is Unity web. Similar problem as Golang, the runtime is heavy.
Yes, markets are suppose to kick you when you are down.

My gut says it is like needing for example a car. You could rent or lease or you could buy one in cash on on credit. Each choice makes sense to someone. If it is to be a collective choice/deal it should be cheaper and I see no reason why it can't offer the same options. We have this weird tendency to shove all collective arrangements in governments boots where we know the outcome will be something stupid, turn into something ridiculous or both.

I really want to see gov processes strictly defined. Then we can have the government set up entirely independent bodies that strictly follow their charter. Ideally it pays no taxes, no one works there, no one owns it. I might even like blockchain for this purpose. We want 1234 new lease contracts for 2026, any company may bid, customers press accept. The one most accepted gets to provide the [proverbial] cars.

It seems doable.
Beijing has a lottery for plates instead, except the allocation for EVs is separate from ICEs, so it is much easily to get an EV. Back in 2016, you started seeing Model S’s driving around Beijing, and those were definitely imported with something like a 20-30% tax (at least), but the only alternative was no luxury car (like the famous black Audi that used to be super common), so they just started showing up.
