why so disingenuous??? any Zed propaganda you are pushing?

We are talking about propaganda, about paid Ruzzians that create for example fake documents daily, some show that Zelensky bought some sports car today, a mansion yesterday, an apartment last week. Is it very possible to figure out that they are fake, maybe not for each of us, but as a group we could find someone that has experience in the domain and can tell you that the document shown is not how such a document looks in real life and is an obvious fake.

or a super recent example, you have a protest or gathering and some people claim there were 400k people present and others say there were only 10k people i that town square, there are videos and photos, sure not every person has the ability to evaluate the number but if we combine as a group we can gfind someone intelligent that can figure out what number is correct (except if the group is filled with less intelligent people then someone needs to take pity on them and explain as to children how you can count and estimate a crowd size)

And there is always absolute truth if you want to be scientific,
like "I do not know" or 2+2=4 where 2 is s(s(0)) , + is well defined, and 4= s(s(s(s(0)))) , and is also truth that 1>0 for real numbers(where...definition of all those symbols) etc

If a space probe falls on the moon, does it make a sound?
That argument has been had right here on HN many times. So many people will defend someone with just a smidge of experience as being Senior or equivalent in their organization. The issue is there's no industry standard, so one company's Senior is another company's Junior.

I'd argue without compromise someone with less than 5 years of experience cannot possibly be Senior-anything. Probably should be closer to the 10 year mark... but many will disagree and cite ridiculous company title-scales, including "Level" this and that.

There's tremendous pressure to inflate people's titles to make them feel important - which realistically means people's titles are useless. Hence, "Senior" Engineers complaining about being asked to do L33T code assignments in interviews...

If your eyes are straining then you may also have posture issues that can contribute to headaches. I asked a colleague to take a few candid pictures of me at my desk as recommended by the physiotherapist.
Show HN: Yoth-yoth – Notes and code on an infinite canvas
Hey! yoth-yoth is a platform for sharing your notes and code on an infinite canvas. It is free and requires no registration. Here's an example of what you can do: https://yoth-yoth.cc/s/RXYyFEpHx.

Currently, the platform is in beta. We'd love to hear your comments and feedback.

P.S.: It works pretty bad on mobile devices and in Safari browser. For some reason, the zoom does not work correctly, and all objects become blurred. Also, connection's markers are not displayed.
I did…then I went to another eye doctor who found that my prescription was off because they were plastic. She recommended glass. Then it was much better

Honest question: who is still using BIOS (or I guess CSM mode) and why?

I was a BIOS holdout, and even I switched to pure-UEFI _years_ ago.
Yeah. I have a list of things I won’t work with. That’s what experience looks like.

So this is just going to end up like AWS where they worked out exactly how much it costs me to run a physical server and charge me just slightly less than that?
It was a SAT solver with the symbolic expression fed into the LLM. Using the SAT solver I'd rate how well the LLM was able to solve a given boolean formula, if it got it wrong it would get a second prompt to ask it to split the boolean expression at the main connective into two sub expressions. If it got that right it would be asked to solve the sub expressions etc.. Then reward/punish based on how well it did overall.

There was meant to be a lot more to the system than that, but I never had the training budget to do anything but the first draft of the system.
An interesting side effect is that it runs the code inside the module you import, so that code can act based on whether it gets imported by help or not:

I would disagree with "clever", but it certainly is currently expensive. The degree of expensive can fluctuate and could be influenced. It is not guaranteed to remain expensive, and a nation state like the US could control 51% of the hash rate if it wanted to, regardless of the expense, I think . . .
Why not go for one last government grift before you get kicked out of the country for spearheading efforts to start a war, I suppose
Public spaces are most definitely not "Adults Only" by default. You're not allowed to have a big billboard with porn on it, you have to show ID to get into a bar, you have to show ID to buy a pack of cigarettes, and in many states the cigarettes have to be in an opaque cabinet. You can't walk around naked. You can't be drunk in public.

Now admittedly many of these things are unevenly enforced, but society absolutely does a lot in the physical world to make it appropriate for children.
Having watched two entirely fucked up Rust projects get written off I think you need to get out more.
So according to you, a picket fence or a wire fence is just a useless thing that makes things less usable by users?

Security does not consist only of 100% or 99.99% effective mechanisms, there needs to be a flow of information and an inherent risk, if you are only designing absolute barriers, then you are rarely considering the actual surface of relevant user interactions. A life form consisting only of skin might be very secure, but it's practically useless.
> Which is redundant for most functions as they only have positional parameters.

It would not need to exist if that were the case.

The “default” in Python is that a parameter can be passed both positionally and by keyword. Until Python 3.8, the only way to have positional only parameters in pure Python was to use *args and unpack them yourself.
There has been a lot of research on other ways to get hydrophobic behavior such as printing grooves onto things.

My take on the politics is that this issue is something that could get nationalized, like congestion pricing in NYC. [1] It's rumored that Newsom wants to run for president in 2028 so he's avoiding any policy which might be broadly unpopular nationwide [2] [3]

[1] People in NYC are seeing less congestion plus more cops in the subway, so they see some benefit from the policy, not just a cost.

[3] Only about 20% of the public agrees with "Transgender girls

If nobody can be "senior" at less than 5 years, your skill threshold for senior precludes 99% of engineers from ever being senior.
I get that "growth" must be everything or whatever, but can't a company just be stable and reliable for a while? What's wrong with enterprise contracts and more market penetration for cloud services of (oftentimes) dubious use?
I am having so many issues with my vision. I don't have a very high prescription(+1.5 on left and +1.25 on my right) but I consulted 3 eye doctors and optometrists last year. I still don't think my prescription is correct as I get headaches and my eyes get tired after few hours. I don't know if there is any better solution around.
Disclaimer: I work for Polars Inc, but my opinions are my own.

Polars itself is FOSS and will remain FOSS.

Self-hosted/on-site Polars Cloud is something we intend on developing as there is quite a bit of demand, but it is unlikely to be FOSS. It most likely will involve licensing of some sort. Ultimately we do have to make money, and we intend on doing that through Polars Cloud, self-hosted or not (as well as other ventures such as offering training, commercial support, etc).

> Of course then the obvious workaround for someone wanting to access restricted content is just to install a browser that does not enforce the restrictions. But that's a problem even if browsers were "forced" to implement this anyway. There would always be a browser out there that didn't adhere to this rule anyway

So why are you for it if the solution isn't valid?

I don't follow. Are you suggesting people retire and/or change industries as they hit the 5 year mark?

If you're going to spend a 30-40 year career doing something, it should take a long while before you can be considered "Senior". At 5 years, you're probably still making rookie mistakes and having actually experienced engineers clean up after and/or guide you.
I always thought it would be neat if python had been used instead of JavaScript.

I have written web apps in c++ (wt framework) and it’s really neat to be able to leverage c/c++ libs we already had, which was what tipped the scales in choosing it.

No it’s not the bees knees, but I can be productive, and new folks can jump on board and also be productive, very quickly.

> It’s not exaggeration to say that the web has set UIs back by decades.

The trade-offs for the UI setback are unbeatable cross-platform compatibility, ease of distribution and a decent security model with sandboxing. MacOS only introduced desktop app sandboxing in the last 10 years, most desktop run software with user permissions which is not great.

It’s not that I don’t believe you, hut that I’m having trouble seeing how what you say could be true.

Not _everything_ is in the hands of politicians. Communities, medias have a significant role too, where they can shame politicians trying stupid takes to shape the reality to their wishes.
Here's my take. By predicting the most likely next word, the A.I. is minimizing perceived dissonance -- if it was generating an unlikely word you'd feel a sense of surprise but by choosing likely words you never feel surprised, in fact it kinda hypnotizes you.

I feel like we're living in different realities. Whenever I try to watch Trump give a speech, I can hardly stomach more than a few minutes of it because the man seems incapable of stringing a coherent sentence together. (And no — despite his flaws, Biden did not talk like a four year old.) Outside of whatever executive orders the Project 2025 people dump on his desk, his public policy appears wildly aggressive and irrational, even to the point where leaders of neighboring countries are genuinely concerned about annexation[1]. And I'm not sure how you can claim with a straight face that the "dystopian nightmare of surveillance [and] censorship" isn't in effect with the DOJ threatening politicians for hosting webinars[2] and student visas being revoked via social media pattern matching[3]. (Just off the top of my head; there have been many other 1A transgressions over the past month.)

> Economically, he's sincerely trying to keep the US from paying the piper for the trade deficit we've been running for 40 years. He obviously actually believes in this.

Where is the evidence for this? "Obviously actually" are just weasel words. What's "obvious" to me over a decade of observation is that we have a pathological narcissist in power who cares (or thinks) little about anything other than himself and the things that directly enrich him. I seriously doubt he even knows what a trade deficit is.

(But yes, the people who prop up his signing hand certainly have a carefully constructed agenda, and they were never subtle about it.)

Neither are hard drives. You cannot legally copy them. You’ve missed the point of the article. This comment you made was unrelated to the topic being discussed, which was about the issue of discs rotting and the fallout from that.

This matters because discs are not a physical product so much as a representative of a license you own. If the license doesn’t expire, the format shouldn’t matter at all.

So again, your comment was way off topic because this has nothing to do with the idea of superior storage techniques, but fallout from licensing-based approaches.
60k Digital Product Ideas for 2025 (Etsy, Amazon, Gumroad)
Over the last few months, I’ve been researching trends in digital products and compiled a list of over 60,000 digital product ideas for platforms like Etsy, Gumroad, Amazon, and Shopify.

Some interesting insights:

Templates (for Canva, Notion, etc.) are exploding.
AI-related digital assets are becoming a huge niche.
Printable planners and guides continue to perform well, especially in micro-niches.
The future of digital products is clearly leaning into automation, personalization, and speed to market.

If you’re thinking of starting a passive income stream in 2025, the opportunities are bigger than ever.

I put everything I found into an ebook that I self-published on Amazon and Shopify. Happy to share the link if anyone’s interested. Also, AMA (ask me anything) about product ideas, research, or launching digital goods!
i'm on the same side as you, but then again 3-5 years for client companies also mean 3-5 years for broadcom/vmware.

Maybe in 3-5 years they can come up with something to justify their new price tag. Maybe.
> I want to fight so much for open access to the internet because it was so useful to me as a child

As a child of the 80s who benefited greatly from the Internet as a kid (repressive religious parents, and the Internet was a lifeline), I feel extremely conflicted.

On the one hand, I absolutely want to preserve the kind of benefit we received growing up. On the other, the Internet looks nothing like it did when I was a kid.
I've been doing data analysis for decades, and stayed on R for a long time because Pandas was so bad.

People complain about R, but compared to the multitude of import lice and unergonomic APIs in Pandas, R always felt like living in the future.

Polars is a much much more sane API, but expressions are very clunky for doing basic computation. Or at least I can't find anything less clunky than pl.col("x") or pl.literal(2) where in R it's just x or 2.

Still, I'm using Python a ton more now that polars has enough steam for others to be able to understand the code.
It's a pretty weak cve category.

"The product uses a protection mechanism whose strength depends heavily on its obscurity, such that knowledge of its algorithms or key data is sufficient to defeat the mechanism."

If you can defeat the mechanism, that's not very impactful if it's one stage of a multi-round mechanism. Especially if vulnerating or crossing that perimeter alerts the admin!

Lots of uncreative blue teamers here
Age Laws worry about dates. They don't care about leap years, time of birth or timezones.
I think that this is a new(ish) thing though. When the UK was pulling gas out of the Irish Sea and the North Sea for domestic heating gas was much much cheaper than electricity. Then gas started being used at scale for electricity generation (the so called dash for gas). Then we moved to just in time import gas and things got very expensive.

So - things have changed.
Lack of critical thinking I'd say, inward and outward. Gaping hole in nation's education system, just listen to what higher level says.

I have one german colleague with whom we dicuss sometimes deeper topics. He confirmed what I thought - germans, at least his generation, are/were raised to feel utterly responsible for WWII atrocities of their ancestors. I don't mean having objective information without the push to make them feel morally superior or ignoring inconvenient truths like ie russians always do, no I mean a very heavy guilt burden pushed on all young folks, who then don't have a clue how to process that.

Then they are stunned into any action even when a murderous nation is clearly trying to subvert and destroy their society and does very direct attacks against infrastructure. Anything, literally anything including losing without a fight, apart from actually standing up and fighting back aggressor. And rest of EU goes where germans go, can't ignore that massive influence. 3 years of brutal unprovoked war seems barely enough to move the needle at least a bit as we saw in recent elections.
Again, they pretend to do the change for your privacy when their only goal is to have control and ensure to use your data as hostage to upsell you their own products and services...
We are trying to trust. That's a difference.

Nation's Courts Online
The aggressions started after Ukraine made moves (supported openly by unelected politically connected groups on _both_ sides) to join NATO after failing to do much to really make any attempt to deal with the corruptions around the gas supplies and arguable thefts.

NATO had nothing to do with it. The idea of joining NATO had long been dead and buried by 2014. At the time, Ukraine had a pro-Russian president who would never have taken a step toward NATO. Instead, Ukraine was in the final stages of signing an association agreement with the EU, which would have opened up European markets and employment opportunities for Ukrainians. Russia applied immense pressure (including trade embargo and threats to cut energy supply) on Ukraine's pro-Russian president to abandon the treaty. He succumbed to the pressure, but faced massive domestic protests, which did not subside no matter how much violence was applied. This culminated in police snipers killing over 100 people and the president fleeing to Russia, where he remains hiding to this day.

Trying to portray a trade agreement with the EU as an existential threat to Russia was a tough sell, so Russians invented the entire NATO narrative.

i have a python script running through that right now to find "the shortest" and it's been burning a single core for at least 6 hours. So it looks like you are right and i am wrong ;-)

i assume my pc on a single core can do ~1billion permutations per second, this will take 19,647 millennia. AFK.

what do you think the chances are, if i let this run, that it would find a shorter solution than 625 keypresses? the naive De Bruijn algorithm popped that out in like 2 seconds.

Cedar uses a PAX storage layout (hybrid row/column) so I imagine 64KB optimizes well for OLAP workloads while keeping excess disk I/O for point look-ups manageable. Depending on your OLAP load that "excess" I/O could either be a rounding error or a bottleneck.
