Thank you! Yes, the purpose of this blog was to motivate peer hardware designers to switch to a much more intuitive HLHDL like BSV, especially in academia.
This was my "skin-in-the-game" approach to travel back in time to the hardest problem I solved back in college (the MDSA Hardware Accelerator) and show how better/efficient I was in designing the same.
Title 42 was the main culprit of the border encounter explosion, it was used as a temporary solution to the 'asylum seeker' problem. It turned into catch and release, even the CBP agreed this was an issue because the recidivism rate was so high. That ended in May of 23' and now the only problem is working through asylum claims. Idk why everyone misunderstands the problem at the border so much.

As well as most of the people crying about this problem are unaware that Trump shot down the border bill which would have enabled officers to close up cases much quicker than judges. So do you even have a point here?
From a security standpoint, we have a private citizen who is a) not American born, b) didn't apply to work for the government and hasn't been vetted, c) an apartheid sympathizing nazi who did a sieg heil on national television, d) shows anti-democratic tendencies, e) insists he and he alone can save the world, privately, f) hired programmers who are literally stealing the government on thumb drives and personal devices with untold security implications, g) making government entities who are in charge of personal data breach their own TOS and privacy policies, h) doesn't have any SOPs for what he's doing, and doesn't seem to see the value in them, i) isn't revealing any details, reports, or data despite claiming he is, j) is dismantling institutions that were put in place by bipartisan acts of congress, k) is dismantling institutions that benefit Americans, l) is dismantling institutions that would otherwise prevent him from committing fraud, m) ignores the judicial branch, n) is the wealthiest person in the world with countless conflicts of interest, o) is in a position to pursuade the government to do business exclusively with his companies, p) is going to funnel resources to his companies, q) is taking rights and liberties away from Americans......

I mean I'm just gonna stop. The icing on the cake is he's the richest man alive. This is literally a page from a dystopian non-fiction novel and you're passive aggressively playing devils advocate, or you're honestly oblivious.
That's true, but it's an interest tactic to ask for the news to come to them.
U.K. demand for a back door to Apple data threatens Americans, lawmakers say
Yeah it's a pattern for sure. Lotta folks seem to not want other people to talk about this kind of thing. Same goes for most other Trump administration articles.

I get not wanting to read it, but that's not what flagging is for IMO...
No. "inverse" has a very specific meaning: the operation that undoes whatever operation you're talking about.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_function

The inverse of multiplying by 3 is dividing by 3, and vice-versa.

The inverse of squaring is squart root, and vice-versa.

The inverse of a number or other element (rather than an operation / function) means whatever number would form the inverse if you use it with whatever binary operation you're talking about. So the additive inverse of 3 is –3, the inverse of "rotate clockwise 90 degrees" in the group of geometric operations is "rotate anticlockwise 90 degrees", and the multiplicative inverse of 3 is 1/3.

Saying "the inverse of 3" to mean 1/3, i.e. its multiplicative inverse, is sloppy but acceptable so long as everyone knows what you mean (and it's fairly common). Saying "the inverse square root" to mean 1/square root is just wrong.
Reminds of this Baldur's Gate quote:

I file those under "never worth it to take the picture in the first place since it will eventually be exposed to the internet no matter how careful one is".
Trump won the popular vote which means the majority of the country voted for Trump or did not vote.
What exactly is the point in browsing the internet when you can generate any content you need to access locally? There are ripples to anything you do online, if you want better privacy, logoff.
The budget plan got released, you're 3 years off because they're already saying the new spending (tax cuts) is justified and necessary.
I was thinking of building a self-hosted app framework that manages the application lifecycle like how smartphones do.

The only problem is that the existing apps wouldn't work with it.
There is no rationale. It’s all ideological fear based thinking.

Every objection shown here and elsewhere on the internet is all hypothetical that have applied for the last 100 years.

I also think people are in shock that there is a president who is actually doing their job. Doing a real service to the American people by exposing fraud and corruption.

One tell tell sign we have is wedging the democrats try to rebrand them selfs and holding rallies and marches. You see they would not need to be on the streets if they believe any of what they were saying, as they are in congress and have actual power.

Just in case you missed it. When your congress members are heading up rallies and protests and in front of the camera yelling “we will win”, you always know they have no leg to stand on.

Furthermore you can fact check anything they say and find it be categorically wrong.

People are in fear that their world view will be shattered if the man and men they hate the most actually do something good.
>Can you claim with a straight face that the influence of Europe has not decreased?

Yes, I can. Do you remember what happened when it came out that the USA was tapping Merkel's cell phone?

Maybe she sat on the table but shots were still called by the US.

He's doing it for power, which enables wealth acquisition. Shutting down regulatory agencies that would prevent him from exploiting people for even more gain is the same as a paycheck.
With jujutsu I think is very close to allow this kind of stuff. I like branches because some of my work truly benefit from slow cooking, but with jj I'm more linear than before.
Lots of good content here, but the main group that “suffered” from the invention and spread of the printing press was the aristocracy, so i am not shedding tears.

As for “breaking” Christianity: Christianity has been one schism after another for 2000 years: a schism from a schism from a schism. Power plays all the way down to Magog.

Socrates complained about how writing and the big boom in using the new Greek alphabet was ruining civilization and true learning.

And on and on it goes.
I am absolutely gobsmacked that the markets simply don't care about any of this.
This is incredibly wrong. This whole thread is.

Cancer testing is not benign. False-positive cancer diagnosis has a >0 mortality rate, because further testing and treatment is potentially fatal. Just a colonoscopy can be fatal, as can a biopsy that requires anesthesia.

The medical world weighs these things against each other and determines when the data shows that the risk of mortality from testing is smaller than the risk of cancer.
There seems to be a ton of benefits to doing all kinds of blood work - from vitamin deficiencies, hormonal changes, cancer signs, etc. Our system is very reactionary in that we order all these tests AFTER we get sick.

Why is there not a more proactive approach to getting bloodwork done with as many tests as possible? We should see this type of service like going to the dentist.

Seems like a good industry to disrupt.
Also courts can't act until someone sues for "harm" which they themselves suffered. That takes a long time, and by then, the damage is very difficult, or maybe impossible, to undo.

I think the far bigger problem is ipad kids. Social media is a problem, but it's not something that young kids understand. But young kids do understand ipads and youtube and mobile games.

Seeing 3 year olds zonked out is what worries me. That's a lot harder to untangle, imo.
Your comment brings no evidence and goes in a rhetoric that has not yet to be proven, it's like saying that Potomac River mid-air collision was caused by DEI affirmative laws/actions[0].

You cannot assume that in business, because a team is using a particular method, that this method is optimal, i.e. that it "works best for them". More often, it's just what they ended up with, and changing methods is hard. It may even be actively resisted. Teams need to be encouraged to "inspect and adapt".

yes from an idealist perspective or eventualist, its evil. but from the perspective of if you dont stay competitively capable of deadly force you becomes some other country’s bitch, eventually. I’m not sure how much luxury nations and humans have to be pacifists. As we are seeing time and time again, but now with Europe, being pacifists means the non-pacifists calls the shot and to one degree or another they become subservient to the will of the nonpacifist. its from that perspective im arguing making autonomous deadly weapons s that might ultimately be the demise of humanity seems reasonable and not evil.
This app seems to require a server. Invoke the app, and it presents a login screen, with links to "register" and to "use custom server".

I suppose an alternative design would be to be on-device storage first, and then have an optional sync to a server (or laptop/desktop).
No, the worst case is death. Overdiagnosis of cancer leads to overtreatment, which has a risk of harm.
> The stability of Europe is an illusion

I'm not sure how familiar you are with the history of the continent, but this is probably the most stable and peaceful time-period of the continent since humans started populating it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Europe is a great introduction to the subject.

The amount of faith you've placed in an emotionally compromised, ketamine fueled narcissistic nazi sympathizer is tragically misplaced.
Rebooting the D party is unnecessary.

Losing only by 1.5% in an election where globally nearly every _incumbent_ lost is pretty good.

In the UK, the incumbents lost 20% of their seats [1]. The democrats lost 2 seats in the senate [2] and _gained_ 2 seats in the house [3].

Making drastic changes to a party because you narrowly lost an election with a candidate that never won a primary is dumb.

It has been available on a bunch of non-Apple platforms pretty much since they launched Apple TV+ and Apple has had Android apps for Apple Music for some time too.
In other words pursuit of happiness through bureaucracy. Hope Musk keeps enough of those who pick who can pursue happiness in US then. Otherwise the pursuit of happiness will be pretty slow.

Anyway, IMHO you are putting too much trust in the abilities and importance of bureaucrats or maybe you want them to do the dirt work so you can feel good for yourself and pretend that you like the American way of life(the right of pursuit of happiness kind of things) but secretly want to be European(the bureaucracy that keeps out the undesirables)?
You think this is normal and within the established political norms? It’s so far outside what is considered normal that people are no longer talking about the $30 billion Trump made off his crypto coin. Trump has been found by a jury to have committed sexual assault, fraudulently running a charity, etc. What’a amazing is that otherwise decent people follow such a debased, pathetic human being.

"Tactic" is an interesting framing. This is a discussion. Some people who might want to participate are journalists who would already be in the process of confirming or have confirmation.

I'm not doing battle here. We're not at war. I'm asking for a free exchange of knowledge among people trying to be civil toward each other.

I'm operating on the assumption that a passing journalist with a source and an interest is already doing their job and, like most journalists, tries to keep it all free and public in recognizing that's best for the good of the public even if it's hard to fund that way.
It may fall slower but it also keeps falling... US' GDP is now 80% higher than EU's. The usual retort is that Europeans are not chasing money and prefer to have good quality of life, healthcare, etc. but this misses the key thing that if your income falls behind little by little at some point you will no longer be able to afford those things... we're already seeing it.
It's just an interesting take. Most people would go "I'll go find more new articles" instead of hoping that one comes by and falls into their lap.

You still need to trust something though. It's just that instead of trusting the signing of the binaries themselves, you trust the metadata that maps input hashes (computed locally) to content hashes (unknown until a build occurs).

The real win with content addressing in Nix is being able to proactively dedupe the store and also cut off rebuild cascades, like if you have dependency chain A -> B -> C, and A changes, but you can demonstrate that the result of B is identical, then there's no longer a need to also rebuild C. With input addressing, you have to rebuild everything downtree of A when it changes, no exceptions.
I think we all know this is going to happen, though.

We have AIs that are capable of self-correcting the code that they write, and people have built automatic interfaces for them to receive errors that they get from compilation.

We also have interfaces that can allow an AI to use a Linux terminal.

It's not a stretch to imagine that somebody out there is at this very moment using these in a way that would allow an AI to be fully autonomous with creating, running, and testing its own software using unit tests it wrote itself. And while the current status of AI means that such a program is likely to just not work, you have to admit that we are very, very close to the threshold point where it will work.

This on its own is not enough to threaten human safety, but toss in some bad human decisions...
No. I'm saying as our Constitution is the foundation of our government, any changes must be made within the framework provided by the Constitution. The "will of the electorate" comprises hundreds of millions of voters; it's varied, complex, multifaceted, and cannot be distilled into the agenda of one man or even the platform of an entire party. For this reason the Constitution puts most of the decision making power in the Congress, who represent the will of the electorate at a much more granular level than POTUS.

If the next administration want to make changes, they can go through Congress. They can pass legislation. They can amend the Constitution. They can express their budget priorities. But they cannot do an end-run around the Constitutional order just to get things done faster because it avoids the pain of debate and finding consensus. The whole point of the Constitution is to prevent that.
Thought process: “In theory auditing a government agency is simple. I can write assembly for a computer with millions of moving parts. How hard could it be to debug an organization with twenty thousand employees that need support to configure their own email? I spent literally two weeks watching accounting channels on YouTube, so with my mighty developer ultrabrain, this should be a snap. If only developers had time to work on these problems the world wouldn’t need all of these suits.”

People might read that and think I’m being hyperbolic, but I had someone on HN argue that their debugging skills rendered them better at medical diagnosis than doctors, and better at fixing cars than mechanics, by their own totally objective genius developer standards.
Hey, I have a healthy respect for Ballmer (1600 SATs, advanced math degree from Harvard).

I don’t hate MS at all. They made me a good living when I was getting started. They actually spread the wealth (for small and medium sized shops at least).

My post was meant to be an indictment of Google.

This whole html/css layout shit with js sprinkled on top is nothing but a giant moat. Complexity for complexity’s sake.

You could render resolution independent vector art & text with pixel perfect layout orders of magnitude more efficiently. It’d be printable too.

It just laughable to be honest.
I'm not posting this as an endorsement. I'm posting this because I'm curious of what HN thinks about this, and if anybody is aware of any issues with it.

Ask HN: Solo Founders: How Do You Stay Organized?
For those of you who are a one (wo)man shop: I'm curious to know how you stay on top of things.

* What tools do you use on the daily ?
* Do you follow a particular methodology (kanban, sprints etc)
* How do you split your time between new features / bug fixes / tech debt ?
* Any unexpected hacks that have helped you stay focused and productive?
* How do you keep track of tasks, todos etc
I'm tempted to give it a try just for the "For HackerNews enthusiasts" section of their landing page, which states "The PRQL compiler is written in Rust" and "We talk about “orthogonal language features” a lot". Love me some banter in technical documentation :D
Rails has more mindshare, it's easier to hire for, there are more tutorials etc to help you when you get stuck, and Ruby has a more mature ecosystem of libraries/plugins than Elixir has.

I'd still pick Phoenix over Rails any day of the week, but if I had to make the case for Rails, that would be it.
Very sad times for YC/HackerNews.
Motivation and Inspiration
Hey all, I'm hoping to find some ideas people have to inspire others. I currently have no direct reports, but I am trying to develop a positive change for my organization. The team is in cyber security. But it really seems like everyone is jaded and doing the bare minimum day in and day out.

One idea I had was to have a sort of ted talk weekly within the team? Where people give a 10-20 minute presention about what ever they want. Infosec? Cool. Chip tunes, your garden, framing styles in movies? Awesome. I just want people to engage in something they love. And my hope is that this just gets people talking and communicating. Which hopefully leads to positive day to day outcomes with work.

Any other ideas? Or maybe books/discussions to watch?

Corrupt? You mean like how Musk silences speech on Twitter: https://www.techdirt.com/2025/02/03/musk-shows-us-what-actua...

Unaccountable? You mean like how DOGE has taken steps to ensure its communications are not subject to freedom of information requests and are sealed until 2034:

https://www.404media.co/doge-employees-ordered-to-stop-using...

https://www.businessinsider.com/musk-doge-records-public-inf...

Ideological? You mean like how DOGE is following the ideology of Curtis Yarvin. Curtis Yarvin thinks American Democracy is a failed project and must be replaced with an American Monarchy. Phase One of his plan is RAGE - Retire All Government Employees and replace them with sycophants and loyalists. They call themselves neo-reactionaries and JD Vance is a fan:

If you're part of a self funded plan, at least is some states, there is no external oversight over what they do or don't approve. There is an appeals process, but after exhausting it (where in our case it was the same reviewer in all three stages of the appeal - actually four, because they applied the wrong standard of care one of the times so we got to do it over) there is no legal recourse if they choose not to pay, whatever their rationale. My advice here, is if they tell you they can only authorize treatment once you've begun, that is not true, and if the plan is self-funded, they have very little incentive to do so, and ultimately you have no recourse if they don't.
You're asking for a passing professional to do their job for free for you specifically while you wait.
I mean, you’re supposed to get a yearly checkup. They do blood work.
There is still debate on that. Colonoscopies are expensive and invasive, but they are the "gold standard". A colonoscopy is every 10 years, the mail in sample is every 3 (check with your doctor to see what is right for you). The mail in sample is not as sensitive as well - I used to know someone who died of colon cancer 1 year after a negative mail in sample, a colonoscopy would have saved her life. If the mail in sample finds anything they send you to a colonoscopy anyway (but you get to the front of the waiting list) to fix the problem.

For people at low risk the mail in sample is likely good enough, and since a colonoscopy has other risks (including kill you) may even be on balance be better for those. However anyone with a higher risk should get colonoscopies. Where the line between low and high risk is though is very much up for debate.

The above is general discussion. For medical advice talk to your doctor - who will know the right questions to ask to figure out what is right for you.
Even elected officials are not allowed to do stupid or insecure things! I seem to remember something about a quite famous incident involving a private email server.

Which boggles the mind when you compare it to what's going on right now.
BadAccessGuards- C++ library to detect raceconditions faster than TSan
It seems like there is a winner-takes-all opportunity here to me. Since many of the billionaires in the US have made the decision to align with Trump, if many of the states unify and can overthrow the government, they also stand to separate the billionaires from their wealth.

The Federal American government looks like it's playing a dangerous game -- or at least makes the assumption that individual states within it will be unable to mount a concerted response. With inflation and unemployment rising, and hundreds of thousands of federal workers out of jobs, it's possible state governments may become radicalized.
