How do you join the participants in this chat channel database with whichever database the participants are actually defined in, so the application would be able to show participant details (name, avatar, etc.)?
His first term was mostly inconsequential. The second term looks different so far - especially for the Ukranians - but the Canadians, Mexicans, and Greenlanders/Danes aren't preparing for war. To be honest, I think the US military would flatly refuse. There would be violent revolution in the streets here.

I’m a generalist engineer with past experience including full-stack engineering at a YC legal-tech startup and full-stack + cloud infra at an NYC quant fund. I also have entrepreneurship experience that gives me an understanding of the end-to-end product development process at early stage startups.

My recent projects include building a realtime voice-based AI personal assistant—one that actively calls you on the phone, rather than passively waiting for you to interact with it, as well as a philanthropic project in the AI ed-tech space.

I’m skilled at taking initiative on projects and synthesizing requirements from multiple stakeholders into meaningful technical solutions. I’m passionate about functional programming, building reliable and scalable distributed systems, and optimizing developer experience. I also speak 4 languages (English, Sinhala, Mandarin Chinese, and Thai).
Character features which make one refrain from such addendums also don't pay in life.
This was my first thought when I heard about this. If Taiwan ever looks like it's going to fall, I think that there's going to be a massive concerted effort to extract all the talent and production equipment over to America so that it's not in China's hands.

The control knob looks like the one off a Dualit toaster (their Classic model is also extremely repairable), as do the heating elements: https://www.dualit.com/collections/toasters

(I bought a Dualit after using one at a B&B many years ago -- I absolutely love it, though it really is a little overkill for making a few slices of toast each day. But it's a pleasure to use.)
Good point, do you know the breakdown of Samsung device sales by generation and what chipsets they use? My layman expectation is that most of the android headset sales are lower end models. However, Samsung might be a different beast.
Show HN: Silicon Meridian – Subreddit Marketplace Aggregator for New Listings

I was more making a comment about how you really can't use most of the value of a sports car (outside of the flashiness aspect I guess) unless you frequent track days.

I'm also grumpy; I do apologize.
I have the impression from reading history books that the workforce at the time of World War 2 was uniquely specialized and widely available. There were many machinists that had special knowledge and experience of how to run their lathes, presses, etc. This workforce was involved in the assembly line of passenger cars, so you had expert machinists involved in producing passenger cars which made expertise widely available. Because of their knowledge, they could easily pivot to an armored vehicle (for example).

In today's world the assembly line itself is derived from CAD, robot CNC machines, and the workforce is not specialized. The workforce consists of "assemblers" and machine operators, moreso than "machinists" or "machine designers"

This difference between workforces is a potentially profound difference.

My first thought was “is it UL listed?”

Then I saw the PAT, looked that up, and it is not near equivalent. Here is a 20 year old version of UL 1026 Electric Household Cooking and Food Serving Appliances for comparison.

Seems your average semiconductor foundry needs around 100MW[1] to 200MW[2] of electrical power to operate. The main consumption is down to refrigeration chillers[3].

Average US house uses about 12600kWh per year[4], or 1.44kW average across a year. So that means one foundry takes about what 70k to 140k houses would take.

Your backup service is good. I have been a paying customer for years. During that time, I've never had to interact with your account management portal to manage licenses, backups, etc.

During the last few weeks, due to the fires in Los Angeles, I've had to make use of account management functions.

I have to tell you, I did not imagine it would be so bad. And, after interacting with customer service, I am now looking for alternatives.

I'll give you one example. I enabled group functions to manage and add others. I also happen to have an unused paid license (one that I have been paying for a few years without ever using it BTW).

After adding a person to the group, I discovered there is no way to assign this license to this person. In fact, support told me "you don't need a group, just have them reinstall the software and sign-in on their computer under your account and they can use that license". Really????

Only writing this because I was shocked. I've been using your service for years and have appreciated many things associated with your company. This, I did not expect. I can go to the DMV if I want to experience this kind of nonsense.
Densities have changed quite a bit across American suburbs over time—Brooklyn Heights, considered to be one of the first commuter "suburbs" in the 1800s is like 75k/people per square mile, Levittown, perhaps the first real planned cul-de-sac community in the late 40s: 7.5k, whereas a modern single family subdivision suburb is more like 2.5k.
The last episode of This American Life[1] really nails it to the wall:

> The bully lie is different. It doesn't try to convince you. It doesn't present evidence. It just tells you to pick a side. So when the president said that diversity programs caused the plane crash over the Potomac, when he called the president of Ukraine a dictator without elections, he didn't lay out a set of facts to make his case. He wasn't interested in rebuttal.

> When he does this kind of thing, Masha writes, he's "asserting control over reality itself" and splitting the country into those who agree to live in his reality and those who resist and become his enemies by insisting on facts.

Not who you responded to but I've been looking now after reading this discussion and here are some things I've come up with in the last minute or so.

- Why when I drag the Safari window up to go full screen with the tiling manager does it leave a large gap around the window? When I double click the top bar it aligns the top and bottom with the edges but still leaves a gap on the sides.

- Why does the settings dialog have so much lag? It takes a couple of seconds to launch and then when navigating around there is a roughly one second lag between panels.

- Why can't I uninstall default Mac apps that I have never opened?

- If I open up task view using F3, why is there no option to exit the window or program?

- If I have a Safari window open in a smaller window and double click the task bar, why does it maximize the way it does? Leaving a large section open.
I never heard of Bernd das Brot, and having watched a few clips just now, I have to admit that a loaf of muppet bread that's forced in front of a camera and just wants to leave is exactly my kind of humour.
While DOS does rely on the BIOS for low-level operations (especially in real mode), it is still an independent operating system. The BIOS provides essential services such as disk access, keyboard input, and screen output, but DOS has its own file system, command interpreter, and APIs.

The big missing feature preventing the UEFI shell from being a modern DOS is the lack of multitasking. DOS didn't support this very well, but it did have the concept of TSRs. The UEFI shell has no equivalent.
If the point was about trade with adversaries why include Brazil? Anyway the point is about taking a side in a WAR and then maintaining lucrative trade with the side in that war you're against. I don't think it's hard to understand the difference between that, and trading with countries you simply don't get along with all of the time, like China.
That is the consensus definition from the start. What did you think it was?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrorism

>Terrorism, in its broadest sense, is the use of violence against non-combatants to achieve political or ideological aims.[1] The term is used in this regard primarily to refer to intentional violence during peacetime or in the context of war against non-combatants.[2] There are various different definitions of terrorism, with no universal agreement about it.[3][4][5] Different definitions of terrorism emphasize its randomness, its aim to instill fear, and its broader impact beyond its immediate victims.[1]

>Modern terrorism, evolving from earlier iterations, employs various tactics to pursue political goals, often leveraging fear as a strategic tool to influence decision makers.

There is some debate on the fringes of the definition, but not all state actions are terrorism. For example, if a state military goal is simply to kill or disable your enemy by force, that isnt terrorism. Wars of extermination aren't terrorism either. That said, targeting non-combatants to hurt morale is a pretty common terrorism tactic. You could make a strong case that the bombing the civilians of London, Dresden, or Tokyo were acts of terrorism.

Outside of state militaries, it is pretty hard to imagine a principal that separates Luigi from abortion clinic bombers, The Weather Underground, or other domestic terrorists.
Well that is delightful! Especially as I've always really like that song.

Lol, I can reproduce it now, it's hilarious. Thanks for pointing it out.
There's more to the Saudi state tourism effort than al-Ula (I refuse to use the dorky official "AlUla" spelling). Check out how they're gaming the UNESCO World Heritage list:

Zero in 2007, now they have 19 sites either already approved or being processed, of varying levels of actual historical value, but all applications doubtless backed by oodles of oil money.

It's hard to say because it depends on population genetics and demographic patterns which vary widely over time period and culture, but it's probably in the ballpark of a hundred million or more in the totality of human existence. I'm on my phone and can't access my notes so I'm going from memory but if we are to take the hemolytic fatality rate in Sub-Saharan Africa as the upper limit, it's on the order of 0.1% of all births. Given the general estimate of 100-120 billion humans who have ever lived, the numbers are staggering.
And it's still missing certain things Cocoa had well before 2015...
The article is about how bad land and energy policies (essentially central planning)—dating from the post-war period—are holding back the British economy. Is that neoliberalism?
The British used to sell appliances without the plug attached - it was just bare wires. Buying the plug separately and knowing how to attach it was just a basic skill you were expected to know.

Not sure what changed, as I understand it they don't really do that anymore.
Nonsense. We just need...about 10-15 USB-C laptop charging blocks rated at 100W each. I'm sure can find a 1:10 USB charge splitter (heck, maybe we just need to get creative with a few 1:4s) on Temu.

What could possibly go wrong?

When I was a kid we had an two-slice electric "Side door Toaster" when we stayed in our caravan on holiday.

It had two spring-loaded fold-up doors on each side which you put the toast on. Then they folder vertically to put the toast near the elements. Half way through you pulled down the doors, flipped the slices over and toasted the other half.

Half of the us population being shareholders doesn’t translate to a seat the table economically, not to mention is a red herring to the topic

The real issue is that there is legal doctrine that makes it hard for businesses to not be dominated by their largest investors / shareholders in such a way that extracting short term profits every quarter has taken precedence over building healthy sustainable businesses. Everyone is chasing the absolute most % of profit to the detriment to even the business
To the best of my knowledge this is FALSE and confused.

The C930 is a core, not a chip.

"Shipping" a core means making the RTL/HDL available to customers for licensing, so that they, Alibaba's customers, can start to design chips using it -- and those chips would be available to people making PCs or servers in 2-3 years. And then to us to buy.

The C910 was similarly launched in July 2019, THead had a 3-core (1 with RVV, 2 without) test chip on a expensive $400 test board in late 2021, and the volume production TH1520 shipped on e.g. the Lichee Pi 4A in mid 2023 and Sophgo's SG2042 chip in the Milk-V Pioneer in January 2024.

Unless there is other information, that is the kind of schedule to expect for the C930. NOT servers available to buy next month. And not server chips either.
Very interesting. A small tweak and it seems like this could be applied to the problem of identifying degree of separation from political dissidents or other targets with the right data source. Lots of tools already exist that do that, but it's kind of wild how accessible and scalable certain techniques have become.

I think peak Explorer was like back in Windows 98. Snappy and easy to use. With Windows 7 it became a mess with the ribbon thing. On Windows 11 it got even worse, it's slow.
Could you be a bit more specific regarding that CPU? That's a very wide range.
My view is there needs to be a version of Godwin's law related to client of supposed 'racism', i.e. the one who claims ${issue} is caused by/related to 'racism' thereby loses the argument unless he comes with solid proof.

I see no proof, spurious claims of 'racism' do not count as such so it actually was about immigration.
Nice! Although I hope the next project will be a repairable panini grill, those are way more versatile than toasters.
How does that follow?

That would mean leaving some performance on the table the rest of the time.

It doesn't seem clear at all whether one outweighs the other.

Show HN: Tolly – AI-powered CBT and exposure therapy for social anxiety
We built Tolly to make evidence-based therapy for social anxiety accessible through AI personalization.

What makes it different:
AI engines that adapt therapeutic content to individual anxiety patterns

AI algorithms that identify cognitive distortions after tasks or through chat context

Personalized scenario generation based on user's specific triggers

Adaptive difficulty system that evolves with user progress

The free version includes the complete therapeutic approach. This goes beyond social anxiety. We believe we can make a true revolution here changing how humans connect and communicate.

If you're interested, we'd value your insights.
We cannot estimate anything, because we just have too little information about ET life.

We cannot even accurately estimate how long any given life form has existed.

For example, Earth is relatively young planet, and exists planets which are Billion years older.

And according to Turing theorem, we could only understand life form similarly developed or less developed than our.

So, if we will encounter similarly developed or less developed life form (younger than our), we could make decision what to do with it.

But if we will encounter much older life form, I think limit is just about few hundred years difference, we just will not understand them, may be even they will look like natural phenomena or super-natural as gods.

And when we will encounter less developed ETs, we cannot be sure, that nearby not hidden much more developed ETs, which could wipe us. So I think, safest for us will be to avoid any interaction and research them with remote sense technologies.

Writing a .NET Garbage Collector in C# – Part 3
1) Thanks for being a part of the journey! We also want something that works for us as agent developers. We didn't feel like anything else was addressing this problem and felt like we had to do it ourselves.

We love feedback! This is our first time doing OSS.
I agree - MCP and agents.json are not mutually exclusive at all. They solve for difference clients.

2) Agreed. Something we're investing in soon is a generic SDK that can run any valid agents.json. That means the docs might getting a revamp soon too.

3) While many API services may not use OpenAPI, their docs pages often do! For example, readme.com lets you export your REST API docs as OpenAPI. As we add more types of action sources, agents.json won't be 1:1 with OpenAPI. In that way, we left the future of agents.json extensible.

4) Great idea! I think this would be so useful

> that branch prediction got better in the ‘10s and a bunch of techniques that didn’t work before do now.

They got better than they had any right to be, but then we found out that Spectre & Meltdown were vulnerabilities rather than optimizations.

For example, a switch based interpreter was fast as a CGOTO one for a brief period between 2012 and 2018, but suddenly got slower again as the CPUs could no longer rely on branch prediction to do prefetching.
