> Have you ever had success with Miri on non-trivial programs?

The key is to isolate the unsafe code and test it directly, so you're not really doing it with whole programs. At least that's what I try to do. Anyway, was just curious!

(I don't have anything to say about the specific code here that cmr didn't already say)

Oh absolutely, all I meant was that because they're starting from different goals, they can make different choices.

I fully agree that the US benefits from its hegemony and that Trump's statements that the US is getting ripped off are completely false.

But what game is currently being played by the Trump administration? He told the EU to be self-sufficient in defense spending, insults them and Ukraine to awaken their pride. He (temporarily) cuts off public ties with Zelensky. The press conference with the row at the end actually ended with Trump winking at the audience and Zelensky putting his thumb up. That part is cut out of many videos.

EU leaders scramble to put up the type of peace plans that they know will be refused. What if all is prearranged and Trump just wants to dump Biden's conflict on the EU, at least temporarily until everyone has rearmed?

Trump has said a lot, including lifting sanctions on Russia. But he extended the sanctions. He did halt arms shipments to Ukraine either to pressure Ukraine or the EU.

The EU should negotiate with Russia without the US, get a viable peace plan and drop sanctions. Then we'll see if Trump's behavior is more than theater.
Apparently it'll use the equivalent of about 12,000 homes worth of water but have technology to recycle about 65% of their use, so ultimately ~5000 homes worth of water? https://eu.azcentral.com/story/opinion/op-ed/joannaallhands/... A lot but about 10% of current household growth in Arizona so they'll surely "find a way."

Absolutely. I did a little bit of iOS development at some point and was genuinely shocked by how bad the documentation was and by how often WWDC videos was the best documentation available.

To give a concrete example: At WWDC20 Apple showed off a new Core Data feature called "derived attributes" [1]. Only many months later did they add the bare minimum of written documentation covering a fraction of what was shown off at WWDC [2].

It makes less sense the further from the stereotypical thing you go.

It's nuclear, not burning clothes or giving your uncle the building contract.
On my phone when I'm on the go, I use Calctastic. On my desktop, I use KCalc. At my workbench, I use an HP-41C.

I use them mostly for unit and number base conversions, and electronics calculations. Sometimes for programming purposes. I very rarely use them for basic four-banger stuff, as I usually just do those things in my head.
Yes, most PDFs are version 1.4 or less until you get into the business world where more complex PDFs requiring a 2.0 reader exist.

>The tariffs on Mexico/Canada are to get them to step up and stop the flow of drugs and illegal immigrants into our country.

They did take action. Trump slapped them anyway, without Trump asking anything more.

>He has said this nearly every time he has talked about the tariffs. Will it generate some revenue sure but probably not much.

Trump has literaly said that it would bring in so much revenue that he will dismantle the IRS and replace it with the ERS.

>This is all about does American and its people have the resolve to play hardball.

Why would anyone trust Trump to abide by any agreement? He's a liar and a backstabber.

The rest of the world can act as if the US was razed to the ground.
See you have to understand something. Coding is an language , a way of expressing complex logic.

I don't think visual programming works with complex logic. I may be wrong. But I genuinely feel like most visual programming solutions would be like 70% there and then after that , you are stuck , locked...

Which is why v0 etc. work using a db and fetching apis.
I am not sure why they aren't great options of truly non technical teams. You can't create a insanely complicated product being non technical.

Also like I said earlier , coding is a language. And languages come in different flavours , just like how real life languages can be hard or easy (like sanskrit or german (because of its huge words , though I like germany man , not sure how the radical right would change it!) , atleast to me feels hard , whereas french feels a little less troubling)

There is lua for easiness. Golang and python are also great options but lua is great.

I've been helping test it as well - your experience sounds identical to mine. I was initially very excited for it, but nowadays I don't really bother turning it on unless I feel the conversation will be a long one. Although I am very much looking forward to them rolling out the automated pending of orders based on what was said during the conversation.

LLM's have so much potential in medicine, and I think one of the most important applications they will have is the ability to ingest a patient's medical chart within their context and present key information to clinicians that would've otherwise been overlooked in the bloated mess that most EMR's are nowadays (including Epic).

There's been so many times where I've found critically important details hidden away as a sidenote in some lab/path note overlooked for years that very likely could've been picked up by an LLM. Just a recent example - a patient with repeated admissions over the years due to severe anemia, would usually be scoped and/or given a transfusion without much further workup and discharged once Hgb >7. Blood bank path note from 10 years ago mentions presence of warm autoantibodies as a sidenote; for some reason the diagnosis of AIHA is never mentioned nor carried forward in their chart. A few missed words which would've saved millions of dollars in prolonged admissions and diagnostic costs over the years.
I've worked for both big R1 Universities as well as top-tier independent research institutes. I ran computing facilities that supported bioinformatics facilities, and spent my day interacting with both research leaders (PIs/faculty) and administration.

I don't believe point #1 - I have been involved in shared governance bodies as a student and staff, and at least where I've spent time, these bodies are strong.

For point #2, I never saw any shift of authority to administrators. In fact, I left academia because I was given a mission to centralize computing resources to ensure we're responsible stewards of the data we held. Instead, PIs would end-run around shared computing facilities, spending their own grant money on high end workstations, USB drives. I left and went into big tech because I was tired of fighting with essentially 50-100 small fiefdoms. The administrators were powerless, and if they tried to force the PIs to submit, they PIs would simply go someplace else.

For #3, while "impact factor" took on a larger role, I did not see a problematic shift in how we did science. Everyone was given adequate resources to participate in governance. If anything, the outsized influence individual PIs had over how they did their research made it more difficult to ensure data was stored safely, analyses were reproducible, and so on. That, to me, is a greater risk than the fear that administration was telling researchers what to research.

There are problems with higher ed in the US, but I don't understand how to equate a perceived shift away from "shared governance" with deep fundamental issues in the mission of our higher ed system. We need both a focus on educating young people (need to have fresh minds and bodies to keep the research machine churning) as well as basic AND cutting edge research to keep progress moving forward.
Uranium could be sourced from both Greenland and Ukraine, but realistically Australia, Brazil and South Africa might be better options.

Denmark also have 3700 tons of uranium ore just laying around, not sure how much actual uranium you can extract from that, very little I suspect.
>They can always just stop?

They can, but that is what I am wondering about. Will a desperate Putin think he can get away with a nuclear first strike on Ukraine? If he thinks he can, why stop?
I think I already addressed this point. You also need to think about second-order effects, but like I said, there are second order effects to all of these solutions. Just because nuclear's side effects are more easy to dramatize doesn't mean that it is necessarily more deadly / harmful to the environment.
The most annoying thing for me about the iPad lineup is that Apple hasn't released an iPad compatible version of their Journal app. IMHO, it's the perfect device for Journal. I want to write by hand and doodle and do all the other things you do in a paper journal.

There's some reason they haven't done this and I'd love to know what it is. IMHO, it should have been iPad-first and then ported to the phone later.
Air fryer dries out the entire bread to a coaster.

A toaster blasts the outside of the bread with massive radiation, with thin wire element that goes from dead cold off to 100% instantly, so that the outside gets toasted before the inside gets dry.

Air fryer is way too slow and the moving air makes it even worse.

Larger toaster-oven air fryers are even worse. Way too slow to heat up and way too much of the wattage wasted radiating away in other directions being just 2 or 4 quarts tubes inches away from the bread, and with splatter shields covering them besides, instead of a veritable cage of thin wire filaments all around the bread and right next to it.
The iPad mini is really an Air mini (better screen than the basic iPad, etc.), except for the SoC (A17 Pro currently), which may be for size (heat dissipation) reasons.
> 5 mins to rework your notes after each patient visit? I didn't assume doctors had that kind of time.

I worked in a healthcare for over a decade (actually for a company that Nuance acquired previous to their acquisition) and the previous workflow was they'd pick up a phone, call a number, say all their notes, and then have to revisit their transcription to make sure it was accurate. Surgeons in particular have to spend a ton of time on documentation

I'm a senior fullstack software developer with 10 years of experience in the field. I already have a job in Munich, but I'm currently looking for better opportunities out there.

I'm specially driven by curiosity and complex tasks, I have a knack for going down rabbit holes that few people would be willing to.

Can't find all the skills you're looking for? I'm a quick learner and can bring myself up to speed with any tech stack, as needed.
> I dunno. I'd like to give this particular strain techno-futurism back. Can I have a different one please?

This sounds like I'm rewatching the early episodes of Star Trek: Voyager - the gist of the complains is the same as the fictional crew voiced about the AI doctor (Emergency Medical Hologram) they were stuck with when the "organic" doctor died.

The show correctly portrays the struggle of getting people to trust an AI physician, despite it being very good at their job. It also curiously avoids dealing with the question, why even have human/organic doctors, where the EMH is obviously far superior in every aspect of the job? Both of these have strong parallels to the world today.

Depends on your definition of robust (e.g. how are you handling T-junctions) but in general I would agree with this, in that that some things that are NOT trivial should rightly be pushed up the art pipeline.

Good pipelines shouldn't rely on clever parser behaviour (as a general rule)
Well-respected American leaders thought it wise and worthwhile to maintain backchannels with the USSR throughout the cold war. Presumably, then, the Soviets were a lesser threat, materially and ideologically, to the American project than Russia is today? Is that correct?

The Demise of Diasp.org
Some on HN may remember Diaspora*, an early federated social network launched in 2010, which HN has covered occasionally through the years: <https://hn.algolia.com/?q=diaspora> (about 460 results as I type this).

I've somewhat withdrawn from it myself over the past few years, largely due to many unresolved frustrations and an all-but moribund development process. Not that I'm a fan of needless feature churn, but there are both glaring UI/UX and performance deficiencies and apparently numerous security concerns for hosters and admins.

Logging in for the first time in months earlier today I found a flurry of new "sharing" notifications which are usually the portent of a "pod" (instance) going offline, and sure enough one of the remaining oldest pods, diasp.org, is no longer.

Adam's been a long-time contact on Diaspora* (and several prior online platforms), and does an analysis of network-wide active users with a somewhat dismal finding. At present rates of activity decline "the number of active users will hit zero in 158 days, on 11 June 2025".

There's a plot of online servers (note non-zero based axis) as well here:

<https://diaspora.glasswings.com/posts/77b0eb00d99e013d137728...>

The online world is in the midst of ongoing upheaval, with existing platforms changing ownership and administration, and new corporate networks firing up (Adam's headed to Bluesky, I've declined to join that myself Because Reasons). Having been through numerous rounds of once-vital, now moribund or entirely dead networks (Usenet, Slashdot, G+, Ello, Reddit, amongst others, some perhaps more dead-to-me than dead), watching this dynamic play out yet again, and considering what it has to say about present incumbents is interesting.

One thing I will say about Diaspora* is that it's spent far more time dying than any corporate network I can think of, with ten years or more of neglect. With the possible exception of Slashdot (still limping, but a pale shadow of a pale shadow of its former self).

Not a highly significant passing, and not yet a passing, but an ongoing fade with lessons for those paying attention.
Federal EV tax credits saved buyers about $1 billion in 2024. Also huge tax credits, tax rebates and tax exemptions. Also subsidized EV charging stations.

In the U.S., states have awarded massive economic development packages to EV and battery factories. Georgia, for instance, gave $1.5 billion to Rivian and $1.8 billion to Hyundai for EV plants. Nationwide, over $13.8 billion has been committed to at least 51 such projects, often funded partly by federal pandemic relief funds like the American Rescue Plan Act.

So the landscape has profoundly changed and it’ll be interesting to see what this does to growth.
I hear you—I also have a tiny kitchen, but there happened to be a carveout for a microwave, which we replaced with a toaster oven. But I grill all my bread on the frying pan, because it this is the objectively superior method. :)
Dualit "Classic" toasters are the only toasters I'm aware of with heating elements that can be replaced. Every cheap toaster I've owned has died from the wire in one of the heating elements burning out. The only two toasters I'd buy these days are a Dualit or a vintage Sunbeam Radiant Control toaster. Dualit wins for the modern slot widths though.
I believe you're correct - major media imagine their product is objective. They remediate accusations of conservative bias. Over the years they've reduced themselves to quoting and same washing.
Can at least concur with C&C/RA being difficult to compile; There are several missing sources and the build environment feels like its one grand 90's hack.
Your argument seems to be that cities shouldn't mandate carparks.

Nothing in your argument goes against what I think edwcross's proposal was: "IF an apartment has parking, that parking must have charging."
TSMC's pledge is worthless. You avoid tariffs today, wait for Trump to get out of office, and never build manufacturing capability in the US tomorrow. Sure, you're going to have to act like you're making progress, but you'll spend considerably less money doing that than you will have lost through the tariffs.
Well, it seems that at least according to the article, Finland, Scandinavia, the Baltics, Poland etc. weren't even asked for our opinions.

Unfortunately typical that we just get ignored here in the eastern flank. One can only hope that we weren't mentioned because it's obvious that we'd back these operations, since an ascended Russia is an existential threat to everyone here, but alas.

Of course there are ideas like the one from President Stubb, wherein any peace treaty could be dive such that a future attack on Ukraine by Russia world mean Ukraine's automatic ascension to NATO (and/or the EU, depending on just how far America is willing to backstab its allies) and basically having the organisation(s) guarantee Ukraine's independence. Although that would require taking northern and eastern Europeans seriously, and I'm somehow not convinced of that happening.

But yeah, hopefully they get the peacekeepers at the very least.

The current AI music apps have a certain chunking

that have no coherent "flow" or "progression" as its
actually chunks of "similar sounding songs"
not a coherent "full song generation" by AI but editing
result of multiple chunks merged into something.

What unpredictable things has Trump's administration done regarding states that were considered the US's adversaries before his administration took over?
The Budapest Memorandum on its own is not the only document that you should consult. We may debate the degree to which 'assurances' differ from 'guarantees', but considering the vagueness of international law I would leave interpretation of primary sources to scholars and statesmen.

In the eyes of the people in Europe, the US response to the war has been been lacklustre from the very beginning, only marginally improving after Russia's 2/2022 escalation.
They are not operating anymore. Last 3 were shutdown last(?) year. They are now being dismantled. Though, there is research done, but mainly fusion, and some Fusion-reactors. Doesn't help with weapons, but might be your map is not specific enough about this?
I use an iPad for all of my personal development work (except futzing with fpga).

Plugged into my keyboard & monitor I can use one of several “codespaces” solutions and if I’m traveling it’s a better screen than a phone.

I can’t use it for work admittedly but that’s mostly about corporate control of my device, not capability.
> credibly threaten limited nuclear war

Both sides have to agree to the "limited" part for it to stay limited. Mind you, threats of nuclear escalation are routine from Russia.
Show HN: Bayleaf – Building a low-profile wireless split keyboard
Hey HN,

I built a wireless, split, ultra-low profile keyboard from scratch called Bayleaf. As a beginner I learned all things electronics, PCB-building, designing for manufacturing, and many other hardware-related skills to put this together.

This case study dives into the build process and of course the final result, hope you enjoy!
My M1 iPad Pro works well for photo editing (using Photomator, now acquired by Apple).

I think future US-Russia conflict will revolve around semiconductors, and you know where it will take place. It would not be possible to just use nukes or airstrike it to the ground, because factories need to stay. Also, a nasty marriage of convenience between China and Russia would work perfectly for the case, what then?
What do you mean by "motivational?" Are you talking about how the creator is against adding new features to the language? I actually think that's perfectly fine.

I'm actually thrilled to have a creator that doesn't want to bloat the language.
