There were substantive rumors that Intel wants to sell the fabs to TSMC and they delayed the Ohio fabs. Are these vague rumors just designed to move the stock or is there something to it?
Building on this, I think Radicle would be described as "peer-to-peer", whereas something like Tangled is "federated". The article differentiates Tangled from other federated systems by saying that you can use a "centralized" ID using AT Protocol, but I don't know if the ID provider itself is centralized, centralized-but-self-hostable, or federated.
Over the past few years, I've seen several github projects that won't build because they rely on private libraries that are downloaded at run-time. I've opened a few of the downloaded libraries, and they're always innocuous. Often, they are just compiled versions of source in a different repo under the same author. But, that mechanism could easily swap the library for a trojan.

It's really absurd how many of these are out there in the wild. Scary really.
> That's fine in and of itself, as a hobby.

Is it? All my "hobby" needs, is to feed me and my household and some friends and they me. My "hobby" doesn't need to feed the entire world population.

All I want is for it to *reduce* the footprint of five, maybe ten people around me. It does that. And therefore is a net benefit. Ten people with less emissions, less pollution, less animal harm, and more fun. Even if only one in hundred thousand people does this, thats 700000 people with significantly reduced footprint.

I honestly have a problem with the absolutism in such discussions. Something doesn't have to "feed the entire world" in order to help us move forward.

To compare the 700000 figure: Tesla churns out 3 times that amount of cars in a year. If we presume these teslas are bought by people who want to reduce their footprint, and that the reduction of one bought tesla is close to my reduction (its not, its obviously much more complex) just being a bit more self-sustaining would be similar to a third of the win all of Tesla contributes.

And if we agree that "one tesla" equals "some reduction of footprint" (I don't agree, though), every tesla is a win. This isn't only valuable until every car is an EV. It's not absolutes.
I did the exact same today!
It started out reasonable, but as you iterate on the commits/PR it become complete crap. And expensive too for very little value.

By coincidence I found an old Toshiba external USB drive in a drawer last week when I was rummaging for a cable, a black STORE.E one with the (now sticky and nasty) rubberised coating. I just powered it up: happily it still works so I guess no internal rubber bumper.
Worst application of rubber so far was on some old Stanley screwdrivers, now unusable unless you want to apply solvent to your hands after use. I got those maybe 15+ years ago, put me off Stanley branded tools. Now I have a perfectly good beech handled Wera set which (sigh) Wera appear to have stopped making.
Wait'll you try to sell or trade it.
The article asserts conclusions without demonstrating that alternative conclusions are not equally likely. One example: educated women’s uneducated husbands command higher salaries. Is it that they married someone commanding a higher salary, or did their husband secure a higher salary through their wife’s encouragement, connections, intellect, higher SES (as associated with degree attainment), etc?

And of course the assumption ringing throughout this and quite a lot of marital research that people marry for the sake of being married rather than as a result of mate selection (eg, in suggesting those thirty percent of educated women just don’t have interest in marriage as a whole rather than lacking access to preferable mates).
I toyed with embedding, and still have an implementation laying around in a branch locally, but that would require a readily available dataset of embedded movies and shows to do comparisons against right?

I'm pretty new to embedding so my understanding may be a off.
Old BMWs have plastic water pumps. That’s hardly something new.
That is very cool! Now I could use this to spot long dependency chains and investigate if each is necessary or if forward declarations would be enough.

They've been doing that too (as well as attempting to steal secrets from ASML), but I guess having designs for building a fab isn't really the same as having the know-how from people who have worked on this for decades. The real danger from China invading Taiwan from a chip point of view is that they'd "sanction" the west and prevent us from getting any modern chips at all. Europe and even the US doesn't have leading edge fabs. Trump just disapplied the CHIPS Act too. The only other ones are in South Korea, so you can see where this is going ...
Modern web apps make a mind-boggling number of cross-origin requests, and many of them are to multi-tenant SaaS providers.

You'd be constantly flooded with permission popups, and attackers would just host part of their code on one ot more of the popular domains that everyone had gotten used to clicking "allow" for.
Seems to be working fine. Maybe a lot of people are switching? :-)
> spending a comparable amount of effort to mentally rewrite it.

I'm pretty sure mentally rewrite it requires _more_ effort than writing it in the first place. (maybe less time though)
Many turbine are running in extreme high pressure (for efficiency).
There are no much margin for "build up higher than normal".

Of course we can build something less efficient to allow "pressure build up", but that's another trade off.

Why the /s. The idea that you can only get qualified developers for silicon valley salaries is absurd. It's not like tech companies in europe generally pay that much and they do just fine.
> You can fix that yourself or you can feed the error back into the LLM and watch it correct itself.

Well, those types of errors won't be happening next year will they?

> No amount of meticulous code review—or even comprehensive automated tests—will demonstrably prove that code actually does the right thing. You have to run it yourself!

What rot. The test is the problem definition. If properly expressed, the code passing the test means the code is good.
True, but in this case we are talking about providing DB dumps to citizens.
TSMC is very difficult to copy. Optimistically it'll take you the best part of a a decade to build a leading edge fab. At which point you'll be a decade behind TSMC.
Luteolin itself doesn't require cofactors as it is not enzymatic and the human body does not produce it. To humans, it's simply an exogenous small molecule... Like, e.g., aspirin.

S-adenosylmethionine is presumably involved in its metabolism and excretion. This doesn't imply that you'd want to take SAMe with your luteolin dose.
It is all about what constitutes a major version bump and what constitutes the public api.

If I have a parameter in my public API that has enumerated options, I should be able to add a new option without needing to bump my semver major version number since downstream existing code obviously isn't going to use it yet. If downstream was using my public api's enum for some of their own book keeping and so matched on my enum, I want to reserve the right to to say that that is non-public use of my enum, hence the idea that exhaustiveness in enums is a separate decision on to what is included in a public API or not.

On the other hand, if I introduce a new variant in a return value and existing code will get it and need to actually do something with it, then it should probably be breaking. Errors are somewhat of an exception to this since almost all error enumerations need a general, "unknown error" category anyways and introducing a new variant is generally elevating one case out of that general case. Obviously authors can make mistakes.

The alternative, when you cannot mark non_exhaustive, is to introduce stringly typed catch alls, which is much less desirable for everyone.
Show HN: AutoGather – Find your ideal social influencers by natural language
AutoGather is an AI Influencer discovery tool for marketers that finds you ideal influencers in secs.

How it works:
Tell our AI exactly what you need in plain English (e.g., “Find Instagram influencers who are moms with kids that go to pre-schools, might be able to incorporate skincare products into their content and have 5k-1M followers”), and within seconds, get a curated list of influencers with detailed assessments and reasons why they match your criteria.

This is the first attempt to build a AI Agent that automatically scrape websites and gather valuable data. Our vision is that web scraping should be revolutionized by AI and leads or any valuable data you want should "come to you" as you wish.
The evolution of a codebase is an essential missing piece of our development processes. Barring detailed design docs that no one has time to write and then update, understanding that evolution is the key to understanding the design intent (the "why") of the codebase. Without that why, there will be no consistency, and less chance of success.

Fun little project I built over the weekend with Claude. Was inspired by this tweet https://x.com/IOivm/status/1894218453483229365 and decided to do something interesting.

I started with working on some funky brush textures and eventually settled on codifying Kandinsky, Malevich style compositions with Miro strokes and ended up with this eventually.

I agree with this, but in my past online discussions about fetching publicly available information, two main arguments often arise:

1. The resource owner doesn’t want you fetching their resource.

2. They don’t want to suddenly be flooded with requests.

Each of these points has counterarguments. For example, the Same Origin Policy (SOP) only restricts fetches from the client side, and nothing stops people from fetching via a backend.

The second argument makes sense, the resource owner doesn’t want their resource to be freely fetched and to suddenly receive thousands of requests that their server likely can’t handle. SOP helps prevent this, but if you’re fetching from the backend, you should implement caching to avoid repeatedly hitting the target resource.

I created a CORS proxy [0] to handle this scenario, including caching responses.

There are also several free CORS proxies [1] available, they might be considered sketchy, but they’re probably fine for testing.

I agree with this, but would extend the distrust to all concentrations of power. Supremely wealthy corporations and individuals, although on their own lacking the state’s monopoly on violence, eventually co-opt the state through regulatory capture or other means (although they can ruin lives even without the state’s power). See Elon Musk for a particularly vivid contemporary example.
I am doing my PhD in sustainable housing. I also help out with quite a few naturalist and political organizations within my community: an unfortunately low-density suburb in a very large city currently suffering from a lack of housing.

All this to say that I consider myself reasonably well versed on both "academic" notions of environmentalism, and on what my left-leaning, SFH-dwelling neighbours consider environmentalism.

That "most environmentalists detest tall buildings" seems untrue, in my anecdotal experience. My environmentalist neighbours are some of the most vocal YIMBYs in the city, and also some of the people that stand to lose the most from changing "community character". YIMBYism is widely associated with both social and environmental sustainability, at least in the North American country I live in.
China is watching especially for the adaptations Russia makes to occupation drones. Russia is the only drone invader example we’ve ever had, and will likely be the next.

However things go with Ukraine, this article appraises the current situation as a combo of WWI and WWIII. We know the evolution:

- Skilled defenders who know how to trick occupation drones. There are a lot of things about these people that should interest HN.

- What used to be a 2x gap between drone operators now lands with 10x effect. We don’t know how much of that 2x is AI. The article hints about an event in December.

- NATO and Russian light industry (which for several reasons Ukraine has not targeted) will need underground options on day one.

- Politics in this, as we’ve seen, is a mix of leaders who’ve sent soldiers to die, juxtaposed alongside comfortable whiners. Europe is very interested in what manifests out of Putin’s Peace.
You're having an anachronism. The events in Crimea only came after 'their president' was overthrown, and were directly and indisputably caused by it. The reason I say 'their president' is because Crimea is majority ethnic Russian and before them it was Tatars. It's never been Ukrainian in ethnicity or even close to such. And the event that was exploited into a crisis point was Yanukovych signing an economic agreement with Russia instead of the EU.

The US wasn't just doings things behind the scenes. This [1] is John McCain at a rally in Kyiv. Imagine if during the BLM (or January 6th or whatever) protests/riots if China/Russia/etc had sent high level officials to overtly rally people to try to overthrow the government. It's a completely surreal sight if you really think about what you're seeing. The US is right there saying 'Yeah, we're gonna overthrow you in plain sight - try to do anything about it and you'll be wishing that's all that happened.' And if you think there was nothing going on behind the scenes on top of that stuff that overt in front of the cameras, then I'd say you're not arguing in good faith!

In any case, none of this happens with good relations. A simple agreement to economically save Ukraine shouldn't have been an adversarial East vs West thing, but just another agreement to the benefit of Ukrainians. But that poor country's strategic positioning, and easily exploitable nationalist minority, means it was doomed to inevitably just end up as little more than a rope being tugged on by two giants. The giants will be fine regardless of what happens - it's just the rope that ends up in tatters.

The other way around. Server-side email verification for accounts and password-reset is an integrated part of the flow and also needs to be hosted and wired up, unless you want to dig into the code and patch those parts out.
For my projects I typically lean towards avoiding server components at all costs just because I prefer the ease of setup and it is one less thing to break for users. Though it has some annoyances like you're encountering.

Maybe at some point I (or someone) can create a server version repo so people have the option to choose.
Not a volcanologist, and vastly simplified, but...

After the collapse of the eruption column, when it's roaring down the volcano's flanks and incinerating/burying everything in its path, it is driven by the local topography.

But before that collapse - especially toward the end, when it's getting seriously unstable - the wind can have huge effects on the direction in which it "fall down".

And the wind (at altitude) pretty much controls which way the ash fall goes. That's technically not pyroclastic flows - but often just as deadly for a major eruption.

EDIT: Add Wikipedia's account of the eruption - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eruption_of_Mount_Vesuvius_in_...

- And note that descriptive terms for volcanic eruptions (Plinean, Pelean, Vesuvian, etc.) are subject to "it's all constantly-changing shades of gray" caveats.
"But I actually think that what’s going on here is that the West is leading Ukraine down the primrose path. And the end result is that Ukraine is going to get wrecked. And I believe that the policy that I’m advocating, which is neutralizing Ukraine and then building it up economically and getting it out of the competition between Russia on one side and NATO on the other side is the best thing that could happen to the Ukrainians."
There is a burden, and a huge one at that, to the rent-seeking industry.

Not everybody is going to take physics, either. It's necessary for students on a science track, but only a fraction of students are going to take science.

Even the polynomials we do use are very limited, until much later. We don't factor polynomials; we don't compute residues. They're just formulas with numbers in and numbers out. We may solve for various parts, but nearly always just for a single variable of power 1.
Optional app sandboxing that does what you're talking about already exists on every major OS, disregarding Linux distributions that don't have Flatpak. Seems to me it's less a UX problem and more cultural: a critical mass of developers take the easy way and users learn to ignore the alerts. Android has the same problem with the "all files access" permission. The one platform where this works, iOS, has a totalitarian ruler that requires all apps to be sandboxed and not request gratuitous permissions.

To really get around the culture problem you would need an OS that lacks the concept of undeclared data sharing between different packages.

Flash and streaming.

Flash because it's cheap enough, high density, arbritarily scalable for whatever storage is needed.

Streaming because the difficulty making any optical rewritable (especially with respect to write speed) meant the niche overlapped with bluray and DVD, but why bother with yet another optical disk for films and games when bandwidth becomes more important than single-disk capacity.

There's also a bunch of technical difficulties, but when there's no market for the result, R&D efforts are often less well funded: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_optical_data_storage

> in principle, the FOIA process gives the organization being requested time to think about what needs to be masked to protect privacy.

Although of course that's a lot more in principle than in practice! Like rolling your own crypto, I think experience shows that, against determined de-anonymizers, there is basically nothing you can do to preserve anonymity except to severely limit the information, and the only way definite feedback you get is if you don't succeed and someone discloses the de-anonymized information that they were able to reconstruct.
Stack Overflow does this by sometimes prompting you with known bad changes that you shouldn't approve. But then they're managing volunteers, not paying for bad reviews, so they have no money to waste.

I think the big piece that is being overlooked here is the distance. The distance itself poses significant challenges. The obvious things like resupply and communication are much harder. But also the journey to mars is much harder on the human body.

Rescue and abort options are also much harder. The moon is close enough to easily resupply or rescue people on the surface, mars is much harder.
I would argue that designing and implementing a working project requires human reasoning, too, but that line of thinking seems to be falling out of fashion in favor of "best next token" guessing engines.

I know what Spock would say about this approach, and I'm with him.

As an n=1 data point, that was my exact situation for a while. Also a lot of the people who put out high effort stuff are college students, which works for the same reason.

More interestingly and more surprisingly, some of the people who work on exploiting games _don't_ do any sort of tech work and have no background in compsci - they're purely self educated just for the sole purpose of breaking the one game they're interested in.
