Thanks, I suspected something was up. What’s the article you’re quoting from?

CR called Jeep the worst car brand in America.
I ran and maintained a CircleMUD for some years but always felt that we should have run LPMud (or MudOS). Those were clearly the superior technology. And playing them was so cool because they _changed_ much more often because it was painless.

The last maintained LPMud fork that I know of is LDMud https://github.com/ldmud/ldmud . Would be cool if there are others.

The BEAM vm has a lot of the functionality you mention from LPC and Pike. Erlang being from the 80s—predating LPC—and also from Sweden, I imagine that Lars Pensjö and later Fredrik Hübinette et al may have taken some inspiration there.
I’m jealous
If you fly multiple hops, there is no way to guarantee this, service quality varies wildly ie across Europe.

Some airports are known to be 'black holes' for luggage, from dealings with Swissport who handles lost&found everywhere, they mentioned that Fiumicino airport near Rome didn't have stellar reputation to say politely, and Barcelona wasn't that great neither. Had luggage lost on both in rather annoying way - both of them didn't have a clue where it was for more than a week, started saying goodbye to all rather costly equipment like paraglider set in it.

But I've seen stuff get lost in places like Vienna multiple times, so one can't draw any simple conclusions. I see it as a massive room for improvement and automation via 'AI', but that should have been done a decade ago, ie automated barcode scanning isn't novel tech.
Thanks!

I am the opposite, I always prefer local/offline if there is the option, I use 0 web apps.

On the video, yes, I totally need a video.

Good luck to you as well!

They are also inconsistent and wrong about the usage of a closing slash on the <img> tag. No HTML tag uses or needs a closing slash and never has in any HTML standard.

And before anyone replies, "But...but...XHTML!", XHTML is XML, not HTML.
I was wondering if anyone would find that unusual! It's long lasting but never rises to anything more than curiosity, so I wanted to juxtapose the two to convey the mixed feelings I have for it.
A huge portion of Ada's modern ecosystem is MIT/apache or similar licensed, and available via Alire: https://alire.ada.dev/crates.html

A great deal of that are driver libraries for sbcs and other embedded frameworks, but there's plenty for things like web services and even a few game engines in there.

Concorde’s problem was once the lie flat business seat was invented in 2000, it was substantially more comfortable than what was, by all accounts, a plush but very narrow seat due to the narrow fuselage.

Throw in the third flight crew member and the economics fell apart.
> Imagine pulling up to a red light, checking your GPS for directions, and suddenly, the entire screen is hijacked by an ad.

I don’t like this kind of exaggeration because it misses the core issue. And because the argument can easily be refuted, e.g., ads are only displayed when the car is parked.

The real issue is that a car remains operational, and the manufacturer continues to profit from it long after the purchase by ignoring the owner's right to self-determination. It’s not just about distraction from ads but rather about the fundamental business model of manufacturers. They retain control over the vehicle and use it to generate additional revenue—often at the expense of user freedom. Many essential features are locked behind paywalls or tied to subscriptions. The buyer owns the car, but not full control over it—and that is the real problem.
Daily Active Users (DAUs) and Monthly Active User counts represent the amount of users that perform activity on the application daily and monthly, respectively.
You might want to try Mullvad Leta, it's what i use for this issue. I would try Kagi if it could be used privately but i suppose it still requires an account and has no way to pay privately
Why name it gitpage? I don't see any mention of git integration or anything like that.

I've always thought, in a single-surname system, it would be most fair to give girls their mother's surname and boys their father's (throw a dice for intersex children).
>By default, Nix uses the unstable branch of packages. To switch to the stable channel, run:

>nix-channel --add https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-24.11 nixpkgs

>This command sets your nixpkgs channel to the latest stable version (in this example, 24.11). In the future, check the current stable version on the NixOS homepage.

Any particular reason for not having a "latest" that will automatically detect the latest release instead of forcing each user to manually check and set the latest stable release every time?
I definitely appreciated the screenshots to each post in those parentheses. Clever way of doing it.
> Successful business takes hard work, the right work, done well, reaching a market that needs it and can afford it.

And luck. Or, to put it another way -- which kind of is luck: What "the right work" is, and whether you reach your market or not, is influenced by so many other hard-to-predict things besides your own input, that getting it right among all these confounding factors is pretty much the definition of "luck".
You forgot one of the best options: ignoring social media altogether.
by then you will be hard-pressed to buy a window pane that doesn't come preloaded with nifty features and helpful advertisements.
Isn't this something humans would also do if there were native speakers left to speak the language?
If you are a EU government wanting a no-captcha experience on your website you could solve it thusly:

* Don't have captcha.

* Make it illegal for bots to access.

* Block foreign ips.

* Make it illegal to provide a proxy for foreign bots.
Maybe check the others comments first, I already admitted I mistook LLVM for LLM.
It's not correct. P(A|B)=P(A) only if A and B are independent.

Requiring independence in this case literally means "the host opens the door regardless of the player making the right or wrong choice first time". It's a core assumption in your calculations, without it the math is not correct.
I doubt this is a huge viable market.

Lately a couple of companies have started up attempting to bring plush lie flat seats to the intercity bus, but a lot of those have since folded.
What language have you tried that they're bad at? I've tried a bunch of European languages and they are all perfect (or perfect enough for me to never know otherwise)
Is there a similar one of these for the President's Malaria Initiative?
This is a nifty little gadget, not a production level feature. C++ lacks a lot of things, but it's objectively cool that you can hack some of them yourself (like kwargs). No one should use this in important code. This is just fun.
There is certainly a need for ignoring common wisdom if you want to make something new. I don't think being unaware of it is necessary as long as you are willing to go forward while being told that you are on a fool's errand.

Don’t want to go down the Musk rabbit hole, but wasn’t this a tactic started by Tesla?

This idea that every product must produce a recurring revenue stream has permeated way too deep. Buying a luxury automobile should entail luxury features.

I almost accidentally bought a scanner off Amazon that had a monthly fee in the fine print. As in the damn thing wouldn’t work if the subscription stopped. Wtf?

Frankly it’s tiresome and pathetic. It’s bad enough that pennies are pinched at every step of the manufacturing process to the point hardly anything lasts even 5 years anymore.

We get screwed over and over again so some asshole can hit their quarterly targets, or so the company’s stock can tick up a quarter point.
I trust the competence of the Indian government far less than that of Google.
Wow, didn't know there were settings for this, thanks. I do suffer from motion sickness a bit.
Honestly, it's mainly different in the sense that it works.

Try to run a classic scraping project with both tools and you'll see.

For example, take this URL: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Kraft-Singles-American-Cheese-Sli...

Study made by far left researchers?
Let's say it turns out that USAID spent a lot of money on IFPRI and only a small percent of it went to fund this little site, which is indeed quite likely. Does that then imply that the other [large percent] was therefore well spent? Or even probably well spent?

No, but it does prove the existence of such corruption and waste which is suggestive of more. And the problem is that a lot of this stuff is near impossible to sort out at scale. For instance the Red Cross spent $1.5 billion in donations 'rebuilding' after the Haiti earthquakes, to ultimately build a total of 6 permanent dwellings. [1]

Obviously everything was not even remotely on the up and up there (and appropriately enough, USAID was also involved), yet nothing was ever proven and no consequences were ever suffered even in an extremely high profile incident like this.

So the only solution here is to ensure any spending is competently scrutinized and overseen from the get go. But these numerous incidents of waste and corruption show that simply wasn't happening.

I’m not so sure about Chip. Trace and Trey are like Trip. For a while, I’ve been looking for uses of Buster where equivalent to Junior.
I don't want "powerful reflection features" that are coincidentally another turing-complete system. I just want enums to be nice and Qt moc functionality ;_;
Have you even read the article you linked to? It says that USAID only paid $44k to Politico, for subscriptions to a publication it runs.

$44k is nowhere near "most" of USAID's budget. It's less than 0.0001%. If you want USAID to stop subscribing to publications, that's a very minor change. You don't shut down an entire agency over that.
Is AI making us dumb?
Put my attempt here: https://github.com/sternma/optopenhash
Office 365 just opted users into AI features without prompting, and started charging an additional monthly premium for the "privilege".

That certainly raises the bar.
its not "on the lower end". From https://openpayrolls.com/federal/consumer-financial-protecti...:

The average employee salary for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) in 2023 was $134,723. This is 87.8 percent higher than the national average for government employees and 74.7 percent higher than other federal agencies.

top quartile of the pay bracket.

ok maybe they are not all overpaid, but the agency is over bloated for its mission and what could be accomplished with the resources they are using
>In another reply, Musk wrote “Scam Altman.”

Well, he ain't wrong
At least half their gak is due to them NOT moving quickly and NOT wanting to break things.

IIRC, graphql is a means of papering over a bunch of legacy APIs. They removed foreign keys from mysql using it as a column store db, a vestige of the original LAMP stack still on PHP.

I don't think Meta infrastructural choices are applicable to most folk.

What does serverless land your average dev? A high AWS bill.
Elastic managed Kubernetes stack? A higher bill.

Did you know that you can use YAML and provision actual cloud provider resources with boring tech? Welcome to Ansible.
There is no need to recreate Linux network stack when you have the Linux network stack, and it actually works!

Quite a lot of hacky gak is required when you run node.js as a production public facing web service. A statically compiled binary won't invent novel code execution paths 4 days into a memory leaking runtime bender.

Boring tech is boring, I guess, even if it's new and shiny.
Facebook creates tech to mitigate the pathologies their past continuously present.

Ask HN: Can AI replace cross-platform frameworks?
I haven't incorporated AI into my coding yet. My plan is to do so very slowly. I'm not an early adopter in general.

For those who have, can AI be used to spit native mobile frontend code. If so, can it replace React Native or other cross-platforms like Flutter, by asking it to do the same thing for multiple platforms at the same time?

Or were LLMs trained to use React Native instead?
You’re grasping at straws and then try to hide behind the rulebook.
Haha didn't know about this.

Honestly this is the tone that should have all release notes!
Elegantly cool. Good job.
SUVs, besides being more deadly to everyone, have higher profit margins, which explains why manufacturers (in the US) focus so heavily on them.

$90k is absurdly high, but everyone will take out a car loan anyways.

Stellantis are really struggling with their vision and direction. Carlos Tavares, the CEO who grew PSA and managed the merger with FCA , utterly failed at his job, to such an extent that he was recently fired (with a golden parachute though). They're up for a shake up, let's see what happens.
> Keeping some persistent outlet (front page post) for discussion of this major topic is important to give people a politically agnostic and technically proficient space to integrate what's happening.

It doesn't really feel like a politically agnostic space. A large number of users (though probably a small proportion of total HN users) seem to care a lot and of those who care a lot it looks like at least 3/4rs have a "leftist" persuasion.

(Sadly, I'm not longer aware of any intelligent and politically agnostic space where politics can be discussed. All those I knew have gradually become dominated by one political direction or another)
> The question as stated does not permit such a choice by the host since if it were a choice, it had already been made.

I don't think you understand the concept of conditional probabilities correctly.

The fact that event B already happened doesn't make it any easier to compute P(A|B) nor it renders the P(B) useless.

On the contrary P(B) and P(AB) are key to solve this problem.
Those of us old enough to remeber Mac OS classic, know Apple hasn't always been top quality, regardless of the quality expectations of their price points.
They are looking for clues to the The Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything. If we accept the premise HN is part of that, it should relate.
There already is a safety issue right now, as this will make drivers ride away and only then enter their destination into their GPS system. So, it will distract them from paying attention to the road.
The problem is that security is feeding a whole industry with its union and lobbies now. We’re never going back. We’re going full body scan instead. Just fly from Seattle to see what the future looks like.
“Serverless” is not synonymous with Lambda, it’s just a computing model.

They had $50 billion cash on hand as of December 2023 (last time they've reported that). Net income is always positive and in the low single digit billions.

They're nowhere near bankruptcy. Sales are falling for a variety of reasons, and as a result they got rid of the old CEO.
incumbent networks don't really lose. they saw potential blood in the water at the time with the rumblings of a mass exodus and made an excellent attempt at capitalizing though.

threads as a product was DOA when that didn't work. you need a network of interesting important people for it to be useful. when the migration didn't happen, you ended up with a bunch of instagram meme influencers reposting their content across two apps instead

I think their strategy combined with an open offer exclusivity bonus could have given them the stickiness. up front 5k, 10k, 15k, etc to a twitter user that matches their follower of at least 25k, 50k, 75k, etc count on threads and agrees to exclusively post there for a year. people weren't getting paid on twitter so this would have been alluring
Stop being poor and hire a private jet... Those can go faster too.
I believe when regular users were able to create the world around them in a MUD they were called "wizards", this is like as if in a MMORPG some players gain the privilege to add mods to the official game world for all players to experience.
They're the best of the bunch when it comes to PC parts, but think how far off they are in terms of usability compared to USB, or Ethernet, or HDMI, or Displayport, or those old VGA cables you had to screw in, or literally anything else. They only look good in comparison to the other power connectors.
Worst case: you don't have a fresh perspective, but you have learned something and you can try plenty of other problems.

There's also a fair chance of finding possibilities that are "obviously" implicit in the prior work but haven't yet been pursued, or even noticed, by anyone.

There’s a flip side: in Europe many centuries ago it was best for Jewish people to change their/our names to evade cultural prejudice. Europe and Napoleon in particular mandated unambiguously Jewish names.

The privilege to change our name was liberating.
Funnel hashing is greedy.
I work on an open source project for doing just that: https://plane.dev

It follows the model used by Figma where each active document gets its own process on a cluster of machines, and requests are routed to the document server. The advantage of this over something like pubsub is that you have a single authoritative server that can persist the document, instead of having to coordinate multiple sources of truth.

Show HN: Built a site to find London's best art exhibitions
I live in London, and I got tired of endlessly searching for things to do every weekend, I struggle to make good plans (which my wife isn’t happy about). We like most seeing new exhibitions etc, and I hate Timeout London as it’s full of crap and restaurant promos imho. I decided to scrape all exhibition, museum event pages with help of AI, and automated it. Built a website, which lists live art events and exhibitions (only in London for now) and wanted to share it with you. Hope you find it useful, and please let me know if I missed any places (which I’m sure I did)

This has been fixed. After every click of the "Generate" button: 1. any existing QR codes are replaced; 2. the new QR codes scroll into view automatically.
The sentences immediately preceding and following the one you quoted make it pretty clear that this is not an exaggeration:

> These ads appear every time the vehicle comes to a stop. Imagine pulling up to a red light, checking your GPS for directions, and suddenly, the entire screen is hijacked by an ad. That's the reality for some Stellantis owners.

Italics mine.
> Copyleft isn't how the world works. MIT and Apache and liberal licenses liberate ideas for reuse and practical application in the real world. If you want your project to be a quirky curiosity visited and abandoned by people searching for some better solution for their problem, use copyleft.

Outside of software, copyleft is much closer to how the world works. In the real world, nothing is free, but reciporical agreements are common. Something like a free trade agreement is kind of like a copyleft license.

> Forking something from MIT to GPLv3 is disappointing, from this standpoint.

How can you both find that disappointing and support MIT licenses at the same time? Feels like contradiction. The entire premise of a BSD/MIT license is that people should have the right to do this.
Depends on the jurisdiction, for example Germany is pretty strict.

If A marries B, then either both keep their names, both will be A or both will be B or one or both will be A-B or B-A. No other outcomes are possible, and if one of them was B-C before then the kids can't be A-B-C.
(citation needed) It sounds fun and all, but we barely have any connection between human brain and llms as they exist today.
Let us admit that realtime even it its most traditional use is quite foggy.

It basically just referes to a system that reacts in a predictable time. Traditionally that time is short, but that isn't part of the definition.

As a audio DSP programmer my deadline is determined by the samplerate and the size of my buffer, and that is a hard deadline, as any dropouts might be audible. For game people their deadline is more flexible as there the framerate can drop without it being completely unacceptable. How low of an framerate is too low isn't a clear deadline, but the clear deadline isn't part of the definition. You can run any realtime code in an environment where it can't perform.

So what about a webservice that guarantees that every internal state update is communicated to clients via a websocket within an acceptable timeframe? Like the game people they don't have a clearly formalized deadline, but when a websocket update takes a minute that would surely be unacceptable. So the original definition of "a system that reacts in a predictable time" can still hold — just not for the reason that people colloquially think ("I get updates as they happen or, in realtime").

And to be frank, I think when some dev says "realtime updates" we all understand what they meant and that is the point of language right?
As much as I hate clownfare, it would be very interesting if they published something like that because of the sheer number of data centers they operate
