Reminds me of Avira's Luke Filewalker - I wonder if they needed any special agreement with Lucasfilm/Disney. I couldn't find any info on it, and their website doesn't mention Star Wars at all.
Humans have always like having pets and frequently interacted with all kinds of nature before the industrial revolution, which is an extremely recent event in human history.

Although it turns out domesticated dogs have a wide number of uses _now_, early humans had no idea that would be the case, they probably just liked feeding the wolves.

Edit: there is also speculation that "feeding" wasn't entirely deliberate, that wolves started eating scraps from the garbage piles close to early human settlements and the ones that were friendly to humans (likely children especially) evolved closer and closer into dogs.
Storage comes in many forms. It doesn't need to be soldered to the mainboard to satisfy most use cases.
How Far Do Trump's Cuts to Science Reach? To the Ends of the Earth
Yeah, they're quite _different_. I'd call Farage very good at what he does (lying, largely), but he doesn't have the same sort of cult of personality as Trump (or for that matter Musk).
How is an auto-reply going to save you when you were supposed to fill out a list of 5 specific items or be fired?
Yes, but this doctor in particular doesn't seem to have any such automated system. They seem to reviewing it all manually. From the post,

2-3 "business days"? Yea, I can see how LLMs are going to be super helpful in patients taking their health more in their own hands.

Always wandering how people create such free and publicly available tools with the expressive pricing of for example Claude sonnet 3.7 ??
I think it shows what people actually enjoy reading. I doubt Moby Dick is actually atop most people's favorite book list.

Also, I hadn't realized that Pierce Brown wrote the 6th installment of the Red Rising series. Worth it for me for that reason alone!

When the Soviet Union fell, lots of military first-aid kits escaped in the wild. Some of them (small plastic ones colored in bright orange IIRC) contained this thing:

https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Апрофен

(sorry, you'll have to rely on Google Translate, there's very little info on it in English)

It's a powerful anticholinergic agent used to treat poisoning by organophosphorus compounds (like Sarin).

Like many other anticholinergics (including Datura), if taken without first actually experiencing the poisoning, it results in a deep delirium with complete loss of control over one's actions. There are lots of interesting/disturbing stories out there on the internet, most of them written in late 1990s to early 2000s before all the stockpiles had been found and used up.
> I went from being able to purchase just the resistor I needed to a $15 pack of 1,000 resistors I'll never use

The last time I bought resistors from Radio Shack, which was well over a decade ago, they were $1 a piece. A piece! While I get your sentiment, you can buy resistors in packs of 100 for roughly the same price you used to get 5 for.
> Did he want to dump Farage?

He wanted Farage to bend all the way over. Farage refused so Elon tried to oust him, completely misunderstanding that the Reform party is Farage. It'd be like if Elon had gotten in a spat with Trump during the election and tried to swap him out for Vivek as the head of MAGA.
I think people think of Carnivorous animals, when then they think of wild animals.

Simply put, you catch fewer(near 0) infections eating plants. Even more so for animals in the wild.
One of my favorite Matt Levine quotes is:

> Yeah I mean a general lesson here is that you want to be in the sort of business that sends one-line invoices, not the sort of business that bills by the sixth of the hour.
> I'd add that it's also by no means a given that life, broadly defined, can only evolve around a sunlike star.

Not a given, but not unreasonable either. Larger stars die faster so they probably won't be around long enough for life. Smaller stars last longer, but they also emit less energy and so there is less likely to be higher life forms just because there isn't enough energy to support life.

Of course life might not be like we know it, but carbon and water are very common in the universe compared to most of the other options and so they are more likely.

All of these things you've mentioned were done by private citizens, members of the general public, exercising their free speech, not elected representatives or anyone in the government. You've made an argument against Twitter.
Duke is such a great fit for this story, lol.
A question I've often heard asked with regard to domestic pets is whether they're "food motivated". I've never met a dog or cat that wasn't... is there some rando in Arkansas that has a Dachshund that enjoys true crime documentaries and experimental mathematics more than treats? Or is my impression that fuzzy quadrapeds with walnut-sized brains are universally food-motivated a correct one?
Nowadays in C++23 land, and with concepts along for the ride, it might be easier, although it begs the question why C++ in first place?
Well without wolves around it would leave more room for other, potentially much more dangerous, predators. And big cats once roamed most the entire world and are definitely more dangerous to humans than wolves.
A ~20 y.o. account with perhaps hundreds of devices in history across different continents and countries along with family sharing.

Every time I need to purchase something via Apple, it becomes a quest. Enter password, validate card, welcome to endless login loop. Reboot. Click purchase, enter password, confirm OTP on another device, then nothing happens, purchase button is active, clicks ignored. Reboot. Click "Get", program begins downloading, wait 30s, app cannot be download, go to Settings to verify account. Sure. Account is perfectly fine in Settings. Reboot. Click "Get". Finally program installed. Click in-app purchase. Enter password again. Choose Apple Pay. Proceed with purchase. You need to verify your account. Account is fine in Settings. Reboot. Click purchase. Cannot be completed at this time. Wait couple of hours, try again. Purchase successful.

All. The. Time. For years. On almost all of the devices which I upgrade annually.
Are you claiming the fbi has never been called to testify before Congress? or are you claiming that it didn't happen enough? or that it didn't happen for the things you personally wanted it to happen over?

these are very different situations, and it appears you wish to defend the motte and get the bailey for free?
I would also guess that in some early stages of domesticating other animals feeding the animals that might prey on those animals could effectively lessen the predation.
IPX is another that was very common just 20years ago. Many old games only support ipx networking and you need to run an ipx over tcp emulator to play them multiplayer nowadays.

Any decent military will be using multiple forms of communication systems.

I was a communications specialist for the Swedish Armed forces 10+ years ago, including a tour in Afghanistan and a tour in Kosovo.

We used radio links for internet that I can tell you, were more adversarial than friendly.

The Swedish military is highly capable when it comes to network communications. A small nation will have to think differently.

You could potentially use an instant messaging system in control by someone else, if you are willing and capable of sharing encryption keys with whomever you are going to communicate with beforehand.

Show HN: Linkidex – A Better Way to Save, Search and Share URLs
Hi HN, my name is David (david@linkidex.com).

I’ve been building Linkidex (https://www.linkidex.com) for a while now (first post on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33153866#33175456) my goal is to make bookmarks better.

I built Linkidex because I found myself getting frustrated with re-finding things online. At my previous employers, we had multiple wikis (Confluence, Google Pages, some other stuff), and multiple 'progress trackers' for different projects (Jira, Asana, Google Sheets). Long story short it was a lot, and there was no central place where you could just search for the thing you were looking for. Thus, I started building Linkidex.

What you can do with Linkidex:

* Save URLs with a title, description, category, and tags.

* Click a button to automatically fetch a URL's title and description

* Click a button to get category & tag suggestions based on the URL's content & your existing categories and tags.
* Search across your titles, URLs, categories and tags all at once - just start typing.

* Share links amongst your friends or coworkers by creating organizations.

Linkidex is a progressive web application, which means you can download it to your phone without giving it any advanced permissions.

I also recently launched a Firefox and Chrome extension (open with cmd + shift + K on Mac or ctrl + alt + K on windows.)

Technical Details for the Curious:

* Built with: TypeScript, React, GraphQL, Apollo, Rails, deployed to AWS.

* Auto title & description comes from fetching a given page's open graph meta tags, and / or meta title & description.

* Category and tag suggestions are powered by OpenAI.

All feedback / feature requests / complaints / whatever welcome, and you can use code `feb_2025_first_50` for free premium access. Thanks for checking it out!

You're really missing the point.

It's not that replying to the email is hard. That's never been the point. The point is that you got a new boss, and his new best friend who doesn't work for the company just sent you an email that says "Tell me 5 things you did last week or you're fired, also feel free to bullshit it or make an AI reply, lol". It's stupidly unprofessional and disrespectful, and not the way the company should run.

Replying to an email is easy. Replying to an email by an outsider who is threatening to fire you is bullshit.

Back in my school days, I found that TI's calculators had crap keyboards that inevitably failed at the worst moment. I decided to try an HP instead (HP-11C in my case), and I still have that calculator. It still works beautifully, but these days I just fire up Free42 on my phone.
The landscape of enterprise data extraction is undergoing a revolutionary transformation with the advent of Large Language Models (LLMs). While traditional methods have long struggled with unstructured data, LLMs are emerging as a powerful solution for converting complex documents into actionable insights. This technical guide explores a real-world implementation of LLMs in processing SEC filings, combining narrative text analysis with XBRL financial data extraction.

Recent analysis from Gartner indicates that organizations leveraging AI-powered data extraction solutions have achieved a 60% reduction in processing time and a 45% decrease in error rates compared to traditional methods. This significant improvement in efficiency and accuracy is reshaping how enterprises handle complex document processing tasks.

Market Context and Industry Evolution
The Challenge of Financial Data Extraction
Financial institutions have historically relied on a combination of rule-based parsers, regular expressions, and manual review to process SEC filings. This approach presented several challenges:

Traditional parsing methods required constant maintenance to keep up with changing document formats, often leading to increased operational costs and processing delays. Manual review processes were time-intensive and prone to human error, particularly when dealing with complex narrative sections. Regular expression patterns struggled to capture the nuanced context present in financial documents, resulting in missed insights and incomplete data extraction.

Sarah Chen, Chief Data Officer at FinTech Analytics Corp, explains: "The financial services industry processes over 12,000 SEC filings each quarter. The increasing complexity of these documents, combined with the need for rapid insights, has made traditional parsing methods unsustainable."
Considering all the major AI companies have basically created the same deep research product, it would make sense that they focus on a shared open source platform instead.
I tried 0.00000000000000000000000000000000000000001 * 2 and it gave me 0. Precision on a calculator is very important, such operations should be exact. Please refrain from using floating point operations.

It was really the first round of tariffs on China. They were competing against a bunch of Chinese drop shippers operating under the de minimis exception. They were paying more for yarn wholesale than you were paying to get it sent to your door because of the tariffs.

And now it's a public company with a CEO so obscure that he _does not even have a wikipedia page_. "Oh, well, Ford and VW used to be run by evil bastards most of a century ago so it's improper to point out that Tesla currently is" is a bizarre argument.
Kent Beck is just as bad as Uncle Bob! He drank his own proverbial Kool-Aid and went all in on the crazy XP programming fad he started (... which contains brilliance like requiring pair programming for every line of code written).

Look, both authors are very smart people who have great insights into development that we can all learn from ... but both also have the failing of being way too in love with their own ideas.

It blinds them to the flaws in those ideas, and makes it so when you read their work you have to be skeptical and evaluate each individual idea on their own.
It's crazy! They have a 149.04 PE ratio! Their humanoid robots are behind Chinese counterparts, in fact, they are catching up rather than leading. Tesla is losing ground to other EVs while being lower in quality, more expensive, and carrying a negative connotation due to Musk. Taxis? Look at Waymo or the self-driving system currently working in China, sold by Huawei (ADS v3.2). The only thing they have is their CEO, a charlatan, selling tales about future.
Call me old-fashioned, but maybe craft stores don't need infinite double-digit growth.

Militaries need intelligence services to be their eyes and ears. That said, most people who are not in their country's armed forces, government, or intelligence service vastly overestimate how much another country's intelligence services actually care about them. Most people aren't that interesting and don't have any intelligence value for another country's government.

I agree with you, I perceive it to be really difficult to change existing code to fit new things in. There's all interactions between things.

The source code of the widgets we use everyday - such as text editing or graphical editors are or your web browser's Javascript engine, are enormous.

'Just do X, too' is really difficult with what is already there.
Maybe just as good for Canada. This way, Canada won't have to explain to the US why Canada is holding out on the information all of a sudden. I'm sure there are conversations going on at the non-US 4 eyes of what to share and not to share since quite some time already.

Take the UK with its stance on Russia. Why would it share its intel with the US, a Russian ally? It doesn't make any sense.
It's because runtime checking is trivial. We can all code up something to crash-if-condition, or except-if-condition, or log-if-condition.
But what if you don't need 100 resistors? If I want an oddball resistor size, it may be for just one project/experiment. Now I have to store the remaining 99 somewhere or throw them away. I'd rather pay $1 for one resistor than $15 for 100.
Neutrinos have such a hilariously small mass that we are struggling to detect if they travel any slower than light at all, but it is thought that they are slower by an incredibly tiny amount, as in, by somewhere in the range of 1 mile slower per 5000 years. And at this speed, one mile translates to 5 microseconds, which is still nothing compared to the hours it takes for the light from the core of a supernova to push through all the rest of the stellar matter on the way to the surface.

A supernova would therefore need to be about 5 trillion light years away for the photons to catch up to the neutrinos. But the universe isn't even close to being that old or that big, and even if it were, a supernova that far away would be impossible to detect at all.

These extra high energy neutrinos are travelling even closer to the speed of light than average ones. An average neutrino might be travelling at 99.(15 nines)% the speed of light. This one was traveling at 99.(37 nines)% the speed of light.
Does it preserve all metadata, extended attributes, and alternate streams/named forks?
