It really depends on the component. Something complex like a processor or radio will probably have errata in newer datasheets that fix errors in previous versions and those might take longer to make it out (especially if it’s someone like Qualcomm which doesn’t share all errata to all customers grumble grumble). Depending on how bad the error is and what you’re doing, that could be show stopping after you’ve sunk tons of NRE into it (DMA bugs on STM32 in the 2010s come to mind).

The provenance of the component is also really important. If it’s a ghost shift at a contract manufacturer producing the parts, they might have skimped on some part of the process (like packaging so that another subcontractor responsible for that step isn’t alerted) and the datasheet might be significantly inaccurate. I don’t know if these manufacturers ever bother to characterize their ghost shift parts enough to release their own datasheet but I assume it happens with especially popular parts. If the contract manufacturer loses the contract but keeps the ghost shift, they might be significantly out of date in revisions so you’d have to be careful to use only the datasheet they provide and not the one your engineers download from the first Google result (good luck!). In short, it’s complicated.

The most infamous example is probably the FTDI serial to usb chips that have been counterfeited for many years with varying quality, both by ghost shifts and manufacturers who reverse engineered the design to some degree.

The difference is, of course, that the Gulf of Mexico is about as related to Mexico as New Mexico is to Mexico. That is to say, it's not theirs at all. Furthermore, "America" is a general geographic region and not technically exclusive to the United States. We are both in North America.
It depends on the taxes the government creates. For example, they could heavily tax electricity use or carbon output. Heck, they could tax data transit.
SCOTUS can't just "invalidate" an Executive Order like how they can invalidate an unconstitutional law (judicial review). The court system doesn't work like that. No one would have standing to bring such a case, nor does the judicial branch have authority over executive branch internal communications.

What could happen is that a federal agency follows an EO in a manner contrary to law, and that action causes some sort of harm or loss to a person. That injured party could then bring a legal action against the agency and the Court could order the agency to cease that action. But it still wouldn't invalidate the EO.
The context here is "democrats", so you'll see a much more skewed result if you filter for those people.

>It all depends on how you define “woke”.

I'd defer to modern discussion to try and define that. It's pretty clear that if they think women hires are DEI, than women's issues has some degree of "woke".

Although I did love playing Parsec (and Fathom and TI Invaders and Munch Man and ...), I did a significant amount of programming on mine.

First I made a text-based "cave explorer" deal, with significant randomization, various choices that might lead to pits, monsters, rockfalls, and the like, with warnings and the ability to "back up." Also, some character creation business for Dungeons and Dragons (doing all of the attribute rolling, then selecting an optimal class, then doing the hitpoints, then some money, and on to one of twenty convenient "equipment packs" I designed), right on out to the printouts. Math drills.

I made a fairly dumb video game that drew in an uninspiring manner from Berzerk and Pac-Man and the like, which was quite slow due to the various walls and pits and such which had to be checked for in many lines of tedious IF THEN ELSE statements ... but then I hit on the idea of merely drawing all of these items and then checking the video register to see what was there, resulting in a massive speedup, or as much as one could manage using doubly-interpreted BASIC.

After I got the Speech Synthesis module, I revisited some of my dumb little games and added some voice bits, not much more than your Sinistar "I hunger!" bits.

My last was Black Cat, wherein your titular cat had to cross traffic (like Frogger) on one screen, navigate various screens of terrain, visit a child at school, and eventually find your way home, hopefully bringing with you a bird or mouse as a trophy for bonus points.

I only ever played Temple of Apshai on the Commodore.
I'm Canadian and don't technically have a dog in this race, but I do enjoy calling people out on convictions they present but deep down don't earnestly hold.

Would you be open to a $10,000 bet that the 2028 election is, as decided by unbiased international publications (BBC, Reuters, etc.), fair?

They want to break what they can and reign of what’s left.
I would put the odds at 99.9% that the US will hold an election in 2028 and that it will be the international consensus that regardless of the outcome, the election will be decided fairly by the voters and will not be "hacked" or "unfair" as current and past fringe commentators have tried to present.
> I don’t think “socialistic ideas” are what Warner was talking about.

He isn't, but my main point is that a lot of congress's represenatives are not aligned with what their people want to begin with. As neoliberals they do support hypercapitalistic ideas as well as deregulation. Which is the opposite of what many in their voterbase want in terms of better governmental support and proper worker protections. I'm not really focusing on the "woke" part beyond "If they aren't harming anyone, just let people live how they want, please".
At this point, I think that would be a misstep.

I'm not sure I have an informed enough opinion of the original C++ debate, but I don't think stepping to a C++ subset while also exploring Rust is a net gain on the situation, and has the same kinds of caveats as people who are upset at R4L complain about muddling the waters, while also being almost entirely new and untested if introduced now[1].

[1] - I'm pretty sure some of the closed drivers that do the equivalent of shipping a .o and a shim layer compiled have C++ in them somewhere sometimes, but that's a rounding error in terms of complexity testing compared to the entire tree.
Why SMB(NES) Preemptively Clear the Hidden 1UP Flag Before Mario Hits the Block?
I'm analyzing the disassembled code (https://gist.github.com/1wErt3r/4048722) of _Super Mario Bros._ (NES) and came across some logic related to hidden 1UP mushrooms. While debugging the game alongside the code, I noticed something unexpected: the flag preventing *duplicate* 1UP collections isn't cleared *when Mario actually hits the hidden block*—it happens *earlier*.

```
; https://gist.github.com/1wErt3r/4048722#file-smbdis-asm-L4172

Hidden1UpBlock:

lda Hidden1UpFlag ;if flag not set, do not render object

beq ExitDecBlock

lda #$00 ;if set, init for the next one

sta Hidden1UpFlag

jmp BrickWithItem ;jump to code shared with unbreakable bricks

```

For example, in World 1-1, this logic runs *when Mario reaches the position shown in the image below*, even though the hidden 1UP mushroom is still offscreen in the next frame. This means that if a beginner player gets killed by the two Goombas near this spot before reaching the hidden block, *they will permanently lose the chance to obtain the 1UP in this playthrough*.

https://imgur.com/a/LKecff6

This is similar to a Web app that checks a user's eligibility for a coupon *when the page loads* and marks it as "claimed," rather than doing so when the user actually *clicks* the claim button. If an unlucky, eligible user refreshes the page, they lose the coupon forever.

Perhaps this is an optimization to work around the NES’s hardware limitations. If the check were done when Mario hitting the block, the game would have to perform additional processing every time Mario jumps — checking if he hit a hidden 1UP block, verifying eligibility, and potentially access some coordinates => boolean-flag lookup table — trading O(N) space complexity for O(1) time complexity.

Does anyone have insights on whether this was purely an optimization choice, or if it had gameplay/balance considerations?
The debt to GDP ratio is the important number.
Mexico is a country, so the new name is less nationalistic. I've actually met people from Latin America who call themselves "American" because they are in either North or South America. Besides, nobody owns the Gulf. If the US wanted to, it could easily take over the Gulf of America officially, and also annex Mexico as well.

There's the Frontline interview with Steve Bannon where he discusses the plan to hit the "opposition party" that is the media with so much nonsense because they're so dumb and lazy they can only focus on one thing. Then push the agenda while they're focused on the nonsense. Now, you have Jefferies saying they're not going to swing at every pitch and wait for the right pitch.

You seem to be confused about the basics of constitutional law and the separation of powers. EOs are not at all subject to judicial review. Those are simply communications within the executive branch, like a memo. There is literally nothing to review and no case law supports your claim. But the judiciary does have the authority to issue orders regarding actions taken by federal employees and agencies if they do something contrary to federal law — regardless of whether those actions were motivated by an EO or anything else.

He's a cartoon character, what someone with no idea thinks their life would be like if they were a billionaire. He feels relatable, doesn't talk like other "elites" and speaks plainly. When an ordinary politician talks you have to wade through layers of BS, misdirection, and "political correctness" where when Trump talks it's an unhinged stream of consciousness but it feels very honest. At least he's full of a very different brand of crap, and people are really growing to hate how most politicians speak.

>absolute degeneracy of our society

And there it is. The people who ended up voting for Trump have been feeling increasing alienation and hatred from the rest of the country, and they finally found their political power. No amount of insulting them is going to stop it.
Ok, alright, well if that's the truth then I agree with you. I just don't happen to know whether he's blackhat or just infiltrating. Shrug.
Thanks for the feedback! Let me explain with a concrete example:

Currently with tools like Postman, to test an API endpoint you need to:
1. Read through API documentation
2. Manually construct request parameters
3. Navigate through multiple UI sections to set up headers/auth
4. Format and validate JSON payloads

With OpenAstra, you can simply type "Send a POST request to create a new user with email test@example.com" and it handles all the above setup automatically. It's particularly useful when:
- Exploring new APIs without reading extensive docs
- Running quick tests without navigating complex UIs
- Helping team members who aren't familiar with API tooling

Think of it as having an assistant who understands API documentation and handles the technical setup while focusing on what you want to test. Hope this helps!

Here's my take on the post from Jimmc414

It's mind-blowing to think that AI can now collaborate with scientists to accelerate breakthroughs in various fields.

This collaboration isn't just about augmenting human capabilities, but also about redefining what it means to be a scientist. By leveraging AI as an extension of their own minds, researchers can tap into new areas of inquiry and push the boundaries of knowledge at an unprecedented pace.

Here are some key implications of this development

• AI-powered analysis can process vast amounts of data in seconds, freeing up human researchers to focus on high-level insights and creative problem-solving.
• This synergy between humans and AI enables a more holistic understanding of complex systems and phenomena, allowing for the identification of new patterns and relationships that might have gone unnoticed otherwise.
• The accelerated pace of discovery facilitated by AI co-scientists will likely lead to new breakthroughs in fields like medicine, climate science, and materials engineering.

But here's the million-dollar question as we continue to integrate AI into scientific research, what does this mean for the role of human researchers themselves? Will they become increasingly specialized and narrow-focused, or will they adapt by becoming more interdisciplinary and collaborative?

This development has me thinking about my own experiences working with interdisciplinary teams. One thing that's clear is that the most successful projects are those where individuals from different backgrounds come together to share their unique perspectives and expertise.

I'm curious to hear from others what do you think the future holds for human-AI collaboration in scientific research? Will we see a new era of unprecedented breakthroughs, or will we need to address some of the challenges that arise as we rely more heavily on AI to drive innovation?
> The "big push to expand NATO" that you keep repeating is a disgusting lie.

I get the feeling the post is mostly venting; but I will pick you up on this point. It isn't remotely controversial - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enlargement_of_NATO.
Absolutely no one was saying it would be unsafe for the occupants.

Absolutely everyone mounting criticisms of the Cybertruck were concerned with the people involved in collisions with it.

This entire article is a straw man argument that lacks the quality and good-faith we should expect from HN.
Yeah, that makes sense based on my experience, tho the problem is appearance - they often fabricate it without substance - leads to a huge level abuse, and erodes trust in the authorities you thought you could. A system that rewards liars and punishes honesty is not good.

I think it also contributes to a culture of corruption - ie, given how resistant some of these civil service positions are to being fired in practice, I wonder how much they carry their vaunted morals through.

Once you're in: do whatever you please! This also supports the appearance - "we are beyond reproach so we couldn't be doing anything bad." Plus, the secrecy shield to block accountability. Likely all enables the level of corruption and perversion that's so obvious.
Judiciary is easy. They don't want to take drastic actions unless absolutely pushed. The entire idea is to be meticulous and try to avoid the political climate when making judgement. They are taking action but they havent taken their gloves off yet.

Congressional's reasons: your guess is as good as mine. Their majorities aren't that wide. moving 3 senators can affect policy, moving half the senators can get an impeachment trial. We'll see how things proceed there.
I don't get your joke, but thanks! Heh :)

It's still an exceedingly ugly car, and the reliability has been pretty bad (with a carwash being a thing that can void the warranty), and it's become a symbol for people who want to dickride the Diablo cheater, but I'm glad that it is at least safe enough for the people inside.

A major point of DEI, IMO, is broadening the base of available employees, a benefit to the company and to customers who feel more welcome.
Is Russia still a major power on the same scale as China or the US? I think the list would probably be more like US, China, and India. Russia is further behind on population, GDP, and other measures. And Russia is quickly entering a situation where they may just be controlled by China, like North Korea. I wouldn’t be surprised if China takes territory from Russia by force or at least negotiates for it. It’s possible resolving the Ukraine-Russia war and reinviting them to the G7 will prevent that future.

“Death Machine” was from the perspective occupants of other vehicles and pedestrians. Pretty stupid spin on pretty big box that’s clearly safe for passengers.
Precisely!

I read the EO and was "ok?". It seems to be just be explicit about what the Constitution already says.

The idea that the executive branch of government would have an independent agency within it that doesn't have an obligation to follow the US President is just odd to me. Where do people think the agency derives 100% of it's power to execute on the law from? The President!

It's like the CEO of a company sending out a memo that says "the CEO will be responsible for the interpretation of all US laws for every department within our company, and all department heads must follow that interpretation".
I get that, but what about white males? Tom Selleck and his chest hair were iconic. Guys used to wear shirts to show off their chest hair. This is gone almost completely now, not just along black men. If we limit your discussion to black men and attraction of black females I’d agree, but it seems the preferences of white females also changed.
I do suspect that soccer has whittled down youth American football over time. It's not quite true that no one played youth soccer when I was growing up but certainly nothing organized at scale to today's degree. I have a friend who has been reffing soccer forever. I should ask him as he probably has some insight.

ADDED: I suspect a combination of the negative publicity for football, less equipment for soccer, etc. Even if American football still largely dominates as you get to college and the pros. Some rugby in college but relatively not a lot in the US.

that's the problem

in 1990-2010, >80% chinese influencers are liberals

after 2010, it went down to <30%

after 2020, <10%

and most important, there's a very higher proportion of software engineers are liberals, which is easy to understand since we are followers of western

but things are changing now, when you talk with a young chinese developer now, there's a good chance that he/she is a commie

there's a simple way to validate this, if a chinese developer willing to discuss abt politics with you and 'admire the free speech and discussion traditionally prized in the Western culture', he/she is a liberal,

if he/she avoids talking abt politics with you, it's not because he/she fears to talk abt this, it's because he/she is too polite to share different opinions as yours
> And then there are people who – for whatever reason – try to sell the idea that malicious AI will take over the world.

Often this is a covert marketing/bragging: "Investors, it is with I sad heart that I inform you our product may simply be too goddamn amazing, and the massive gains you will make from partnering with us may come at the cost of negatively affecting other people you will never meet. However, if we don't do it, someone else will, therefore we must reduce the risk by creating new barriers to unsafe potential competition, for the sake of your investment and/or the children."

> The authors speak specifically about formal reasoning in mathematics, but I think it’s pretty safe to say that there is actually no reasoning go­ing on whatsoever in LLMs and therefore, there’s also no intel­li­gence.

I'm reminded of "Benny's Rules" [0] a study on the design of math curricula, and an eponymous human child whose process was actually about applying textual rules rather than doing the intended math. However, his rules still worked well enough that it gave the illusion of progress.

> Benny believed that the fraction 5/10=1.5 and 400/400=8.00 because he believed the rule was to add the numerator and denominator and then divide by the number represented by the highest place value. Benny was consistent and confident with this rule and it led him to believe things like 4/11=11/4=1.5.

Actually what Russia is doing is already much worse. What's the US equivalent of the first and second Chechen wars? China and the US are probably the closest analogs right now.
Actually to be fair I was saying it was unsafe for the occupants, because it doesn't crumple.

I don't know that I'm completely convinced still, it's tough to know anything when the Diablo cheater is targeting every agency and industry that has ever annoyed him, but assuming that this report is accurate I'll admit that I was partially wrong.
The president can't just say, "no more elections."
There is a need to reign in spending to sustainable levels after 30 years of Republican driven largess. The problem is revenue is going to get kneecapped with another tax cut so the menace can prop up his self esteem.
