I wouldn't use something like this because I don't trust the output from LLMs enough to rely on them for anything remotely important. If I used a tool like this, I'd still have to confirm that the output was complete and correct. If I have to do that, I may as well cut out the AI middleman and save a bit of effort.

Your last quote throws bones and muscles into one. Just so you know.

The Royal Osteoporosis Society recommends "Short bursts of activity are ideal for bones. For example, running then jogging, or jogging then walking."

Btw, don't confuse weight-bearing activities with the weight-lifting that I did quote previously.

At least we would know that they use Signal, because they would need to either distribute a custom version of it or tell their employees to configure the proxy, right?
It’s a false narrative that Obama was soft on immigration and even earned the nickname “deporter in chief”.

In some ways he was even harder than Bush during the post 9/11 response.

It’s astounding the regularity over the last 100 years that conservatives have used immigration narratives to fire up their base regardless of what statistical data shows.

I broke my elbow last year (in a very minor way but still), when I was in the A&E the doctor told me to keep moving it and that I wouldn't be able to move it in a way that would affect negatively affect recovery. Within about 10 days it was markedly better and within 21 days I was back riding my bike, and now a year later as far as I can tell it's as good as new.

I didn't need physio or anything, the doctor just told me to keep using it as normally as possible.

PyCharm is much more sluggish. And I have had a lot more luck using dev containers in VSCode than PyCharm. In general, I find the process of getting an interpretter set up much nicer in VSCode.

Both work for Python syntax highlighting. But I've had several bugs in PyCharm that took several versions to get fixed. To be fair, individual extensions in VSCode can also have bugs, but I've generally found it easier to work around issues because it is less "bundled".

That’s not how pain works. Pain is a noisy and error-prone signal that gives you a good approximation for “stop doing that.” But the edge of pain sensation doesn’t indicate what is or isn’t a good idea during recovery. It’s not a bad place to start, but everyone has different pain tolerances, some injuries are in nerve-poor areas, and repetitive stress or tendinitis are definitely not going to appreciate getting lit up right away.

If you're wondering why the President can essentially write his own laws when that's not how our system is supposed to work, it's because the President gets extra powers whenever we're in a state of national emergency.

We've been in a state of national emergency since 1979.
They are part of the executive branch, but the law governs and constrains the behavior of the executive in managing them.

You can’t even say that Congress is solely the source of those constraints since the laws creating and governing these agencies were signed by… the president!

Most of these agencies have already been challenged in court and the Constitutionality of their structure and governance affirmed.
It'll take some time, but I would highly recommend reading the oral argument transcript for the Chevron decision. You'll see some good history and opinions on why Congress now does what it does.

It wasn't always so. In 1979, when Chrysler wanted federal loan guarantees, Congress passed a specific act to do so. Contrast that with what's now a blanket check to agencies thru an Omnibus

Why don't refactor just the parts the need it instead of rewriting everything?
Just an anecdote, but very close person of mine was diagnosed with migraine when she was 12 yo old so.

Last year, being 40+ years old, suffering from weekly/daily pain events, she found out that diagnose was wrong (one doctor just asked that have you ever thought that this probably isn't migraine) and correct diagnose was Horton / cluster headache.

Eating migraine meds (lots of different ones) for several years were helping, but probably only due placebo effect.

Now, the medicine for headache attacks is simple: breathing pure oxygen for 15 minutes.

After last attack (1.5 year ago, stopped almost immediately breathing oxygen) there has not been any headaches.

Usually, it would not been nice to get diagnose for cluster headache, but on this case it was kind of life saver.

Still, just an anecdote.
Did you believe Google when they said "don't be evil"?
Sure. Some use Olvid (in France, obviously), some use Threema. But for sensitive matters, Signal is known to be a better idea. If the reason to go with Matrix is to control the server, it feels like a proxy to Signal would be better, wouldn't it?

The Matrix servers have access to a lot of metadata...

No, it's so that you can have something else manage the lifetime and disposal of your services instead of doing this yourself. You don't have to be writing crazy enterprisey code to have the need for this.

I agree DI is simple, but 100% disagree that you can achieve this through a hand-rolled library without sinking a ton of wasted time.

3G connectivity was available for several years before the first iPhone launched. I had 3G phones in the US in 2005.

iPhone was late to the 3G game. It was one of the complaints of the original iPhone, that it didn't have 3G despite so many other devices out there already having it.
I've tried not CoQ10 and high doses of B2, without any impact on my aura frequency or duration. Migraine auras are such a pesky thing which medical science clearly doesn't understand. The typical migraine drugs like triptans are useless for auras, since the drugs typically take longer to kick in that the duration of the aura.

Glad to hear the supplements are working. And you get to impress peope with the colour of your pee!
Nope, just the installer, win11
At $CURJOB, we have built a pretty good business on an app built in Java. We don't use Spring, but instead a lightweight MVC of our own creation[0]. It is open source but I don't know if anyone else is using it :) .

I once asked the founders why they chose java; it was because it was 2015ish and they had an existing product in java and they knew it. Which makes sense to me. I think there's a lot of path dependence to language choice.

I also think the domain matters. For database based webapps, Java can be great. Lots of tooling and knowledge around it. And modern java is pretty friendly to write. Plus, if you are interacting with something over an API and deploying it via a container, who really cares what it is written in?

For kubernetes operators? Seems like a natural fit for golang. Anything kube really. I had a friend who ran a k8s consultancy for a while and said that they'd prototype stuff in python because it was easy, then implement in golang because that was what was consistent with the rest of the ecosystem.

Article doesn't clearly tell what its doing.

Is it training a model based on 3d model? Is it doing img2img? is doing video2video using 3d video/image as source?

Article is showing off stuff but is light on explanation of what is going on here.

Also, the person is bearded. Hard to notice face changes there. I want to see more demos but instead of a 3d like render, do a realistic render without beard etc.

edit: Plus these are very short clips. 3D should theoretically help, but this article could have been better.

edit2: in the anime example, the girls face is definitely changing (+lips are not correct). It feels like you are doing img2video here?

The Tech That Powers My Life (2025 Edition)
Humans didn't sleep directly on the ground. Even in hot environments if the ground is even a little damp it will suck all the heat out of your body and chill you to death. What humans have always done is built an insulating mattress out of whatever material is at-hand and then slept on that. You can sleep on straw, dry grass, dry leaves, sticks, burlap or whatever you can find. But you never just sleep straight on the ground.
Sparta is "capturing the modern imagination"? I thought we were supposed to think about Rome every day.
Similar thing happened to a AX102 I currently use, something related the network card which caused crashes. Thankfully hetzner support was helpful with replacement hardware. caused quite some grief but at least it was a good lesson in hardware troubleshooting. Worth it to me personally
>My interest in Sparta is that it exemplifies how elite a group of people can become when they focus on one thing.

Except they weren't particularly elite. As (already mentioned) A Collection of Unmitigated Pedantry author Bret Devereaux points out[1]:
"Instead, what we might say is that the Spartans phalanx was, in most respects, just like every other Greek hoplite phalanx, with the addition that Spartan command and coordination was somewhat better, but hardly excellent by the broader standards of antiquity."

And, as he also observes, any Spartan superiority didn't manifest on the battlefield:

Spartan Victories: 18.5,
Spartan Defeats: 18,
Draws: 1.5,
Spartan Batting Average (victories/battles): 0.486

Paragraphs of text is a waste of time. I did a basic experiment for about a week where I typed everything out vs called a huddle when things got too verbose in similar threads and the time savings were ~8x

They were so good I’m now convinced that a slack thread that gives everyone context that then jumps into a huddle at the right time is more effective than scheduled meetings.
Good luck in your future activism.
The Complete History of Gaming Chairs: 1973-2023
Sometimes the overall trend in quality-of-life improvements (democratization, healthcare, education, ...) are attributed to capitalism, when in reality almost all of these positive developments happened despite the capitalistic influences, at best, but usually in grave opposition to it. Capitalism has never brought us public infrastructure and education, environmental, food and workplace protections, social welfare, or universal healthcare. All these have been heavily fought for against capitalist interests, paid for with suffering, blood and tears. Where regulation is weak, life is hell. Outspoken free market absolutists/apologists tend to be people, who think of themselves as top predators, entitled to power and influence, always privileged, yet sooo unfairly treated in a more egalitarian system. (Everybody is gangster until they get punched in the face...) I think, these days political economy is, contrary to popular belief in entrepreneurial circles, mostly in agreement about the dynamics at work here: For the general case, free markets don't work without regulation. The most important markets (existential goods) are prone to natural monopolies.

This shouldn't be surprising really, since profit doesn't relate to broader human welfare directly, how could putting selective pressure on this single metric directly cause prosperity?! It's coincidence or human confounding factors/intervention leading to good outcomes, despite any free market ideology. Without the causal link, any argument about efficiency or stability is void. Ideological capitalism, or free market absolutism is the Torment Nexus of Goodhart's Law.

Case in point, while politically we're perpetually negotiating the extent of social darwinistic fallout of the capitalistic order, knowingly, but below the radar of affect, we're spending our planet, our long-term existential foundation three times over. Now, you don't need an academically forged "capitalistic system" in place to get self-inflicted crisis, as any preindustrial culture which transformed their prosperous island into desert rock can attest (over-consumption leading to terminal erosion), it's the lack of informed regulation in the interest of humankind.

Ask HN: What role should I be applying for?
On paper, I am a mathematics graduate. I have a masters of science and most of my graduate schooling experience is in numerical mathematics and physics simulations. I have a decent idea of parallel programming, decent experience in HPC, and have worked with C++, MPI and CUDA before. However, roles with this kind of skill set are quite rare, typically only hire senior people with many years of experience and often require a PhD and/or domain experience in some other STEM field.

Although I am a mathematics graduate, my 1+ YOE on the job was spent in an academic institutions being basically an ML Engineer so most of my recent on the job experience is in training PyTorch models on HPC clusters. I have some decent experience with PyTorch, including DDP and TP setups and even so far as writing some custom CUDA kernels for some models. However, unfortunately I was never working with LLM or CV. And in industry those two sub-fields seem to be what is in demand.

Finally I am considering aiming for a generic SWE position at FAANG. Those seem to generally pay more than the above two niches. Although I don't think I would enjoy the work as much. The downside is that so far I have spent 0 hours doing leetcode and I have lots of catching up to do.

I would really appreciate some advice, because I am paralyzed by choice and have no real clue what my chances are in any of the above choices.

I feel like the original messaging was terrible. Everyone thinks "metaverse" == Horizon Worlds, since that was the demo they showed at the time. It was actually supposed to be a blanket term for all post-phone tech that will be integrated into daily life. Including but not limited to AR/VR, all sorts of wearable tech, robotics, AI integration into everything, etc. People walked away from their original presentation assuming they were trying to clone second life in VR (they were, but that was just one random project they demoed).

The advantages of Pulsar are very much practical, at least for us. Without it we would have to manage two separate messaging systems.

I don't see any evidence of StreamNative abandoning Pulsar at this point. I do see a compatibility layer for the Kafka protocol. That's fine.
That was his point, or if it wasn't it's my point. It's a physical activity, one that from my POV improves health much more than reduces it. Take the hypothetical where he doesn't ever find a replacement activity, and instead of being fit becomes obese and depressed. that would be worse for society than mountain biking wouldn't it?

For society only; what's the TCO of a mountain biking injury times the rate of injuries, over the TCO of obesity and depression times the likelihood a sedentary lifestyle results?

without access to that data, his anecdote does appear to be a stronger argument than literally no data, no?
On "Wall of Receipts" on the DOGE website there's a switch with "total contract value" and "savings" options. I guess that the purpose of the second option is to exclude money that has already been paid for that contract. It should be the default option, but of course they want to show a bigger number. But I see some strange cases where total contract value is lower than savings, but that's in real estate, I don't know how that works and what they're doing with that.

People, including me, are really, really bad at estimating risk and the real price of safety. It all looks very inefficient and everyone is so sad being parted with the safety money when there is no apparent danger. But when danger comes, suddenly the mood changes and people pay out of the ass to get out of trouble.

This push and pull is at a lot of places where decisions around resources are made. Like in their private lives, when people don't really talk to each other right up until they are about to lose the other, like a parent, or their partner.
At a former company, there was some trivial discount for an annual health care screening which I stopped doing because it was trivial and something that wasn't between me and my doctor. I would absolutely not sign onto a screening that invasively wanted to know about specific athletic or other activities of that sort. (Which would probably also give the insurance company untold levers to deny your claim.) "Oh, you said you don't rock climb, well that 'hike' looks like a rock climb to us."
