I like this take.
To add to that, it feels that for a company to maintain their software effectively, there needs to be a certain level of cross-departement knowledge, people who can connect the dots between frontend and backend for example, because usually it is in these transitions between two layers that bugs start to form. I feel like this becomes increasingly more difficult in large, complex company's where every departement is self-contained and there is not much vertical movement amongst colleagues, only horizontal. Which makes it really hard to solve issues that are not solely linked to one part of the process. So success doesn't only breed complacency, it decreases the possibility to do cross-departmental work because all the departments become to big to effectively facilitate this.
Lack of motivation, probably.

There's a lot of fiddly details to fully cover VGA. And very few people using it still, so there you go. Kind of a shame, because some of the features are super handy for hobby OSes; scrolling the screen by moving the start address is so much nicer than scrolling by copying, but you can't do that with a frame buffer that UEFI set up for you. Text mode is handy too, although 8-bit characters is problematic; UEFI's boot services has a text mode console, but when you exit boot services, you've got to render text on your own.

Interesting link, it'd be great if their solution meets expectations.

Right now, the proof-of-concept they've provided seems simplistic. Their progress seems to have shifted from cr-sqlite into "Zero" instead. I'm guessing it has something to do with CRDTs being quite app-specific and hard to generalize.

No such a move only costs a few hundred dollars at most and maybe free if you are willing to rough it up with the truck drivers. The situation can only be complicated by immediate family members but still it's only a car rental or convincing somebody with a car to drive you there.

I'm sorry, but I don't find any of this to reflect critical thinking.

But your editor extensions can’t phone home only if your editor sandboxes them into a separate process. Hint: VSCode doesn’t do such sandboxing and neither do most editors that I can think of.

Anyway, you’ve just proven my point with “install extensions out of band” - you’ve ceded that it’s a losing position technically and are arguing for alternative UX solutions. I’m not pretending it has to be perfect. Like I said, capabilities are great for creating a secure OS and writing more secure software more generally. But the threat model it’s protecting against is not software that phones home but against the size of the exploit opened up from a compromise.

Think about it this way, Android apps and iOS apps are largely sandboxed through a primitive capabilities system already, not super fine-grained capabilities but still the same concept. Would you care to claim that privacy and malware isn’t a problem on these systems or that the permissions model has meaningfully curtailed anything but the most egregious of problems?
Putin's stated aims are the expansion of Russia to 100 year old borders and the destruction of the EU. So that figures, yes.
I’m sure most of the proponents of the original idea of a Bitcoin reserve (for its properties, no printing, no VCs etc) don’t love the new form.

Such a surprise that David Sacks is the crypto czar and now the “reserve” has been expanded to include SOL also

One obvious thing is that some people are probably toasting a slice a week and others half a dozen a day. The parts don’t time out, they wear out, so that really matters.

Another is that being cheap, there’s probably quite variable quality.

So it’s not that surprising that experiences vary.
>The Phillipines especially would like a word.

BRICS will support China. Most of the unaligned countries will do the same.

It will be US, EU, Canada, Australia, Japan, Philippines against the rest of the world.

And it's not so much about military might as is about industrial capacity, raw materials and logistics.
> it makes sense for the US to ally with Russia against China

Economically and population wise Russia is tiny compared to the West (Canada, EU, etc) It makes no sense to trade our alliance with the West for alliance with much weaker and poorer Russia.

I think Russia has compromising info on Trump. That's the simplest explanation.
i don't understand why people are telling people to leave ukraine. if that's the stance, then why not just let russia have it. If everyone left, then there's no war to be had?

Why would China even invide Taiwan? It would destroy "their" infrastructure and kill "their" people! There are much better ways to remove US influence from Taiwan!

They can just put sanctions or even blockade Taiwan. And if China puts sanctions on US, and dumps its USD reserves, it can destroy US economy.

US is crazy about proxies fighting their "enemies" for them. This type of thinking needs to stop! This is not cold war anymore.
You can see the breakdown of electricity usage here: https://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/electricity/use-of-elect...

For residential uses, heating, cooling, and refrigeration are the main uses.

For commercial electricity use: computing, refrigeration, cooling, and ventilation.

For industrial electricity use: machine drive (lathes, mills, etc.), process and boiler heating, facility heating and cooling, electrochemical process.

The only categories that I guess could be easily shifted is process and boiler heating. But some industrial processes need to run uninterrupted for weeks. Machine drive, perhaps, but then workers would not be able to work a regular schedule. Not to mention, industrial applications in total is less than 25% of electricity use.

Demand shifting is a lot easier said than done. I see it proposed very frequently, but I've yet to see a detailed plan for what electricity uses will be shifted, and how.

The article is about stablecoins, which mainly live on smart-contract-enabled blockchains (ie, not Bitcoin). I don't think there are many (if any) major smart contract chains out there still using PoW, which I assume your concern is about. Solana's PoH also uses hashes, but I'm not sure what kind of threat that would be (would probably depend on the exact nature of the 'breaking'). Most other major chains such as Ethereum use PoS. The bigger concern would be breaking the asymmetric cryptography those chains use. That would absolutely kill the protocols in their current form (but could probably be fixed by switching to a different crypto standard).

It isn't mentioned in the article, but the author hardcodes this when initialising an interface: https://github.com/saminiir/level-ip/blob/e9ceb08f01a5499b85...

A TAP device is like a software emulated ethernet link (or any layer2?). So if you send packets into it they get sent directly to your user-level program. It's then up to you program to decide what IP address(es) it wants to have and reply to ARPs etc. Normally this kind of thing is handled by the OS and adding IP addresses to the interface requires root permissions (as does opening the TAP device). Networking is largely cooperative and a bad actor with root permissions on your network can do bad things.

Indeed, in what concerns Windows itself, COM has been the cornerstone of Windows APIs since Vista.

If only they would improve the tooling, instead of like I am doing COM in Windows 95 with Visual C++ 5 kind of experience, because every time there is some project to improve the experience it gets killed after a while, and we're back to yet another C++ framework with the MIDL command line compiler.
My take is that it doesn’t even matter if Taipei has any card: this is not an economical/technological issue, it is an ideological one. China won’t blink an eye to invade if the conditions are right, because they want to unite their country, it is part of their identity. That might happen if anywhere else, there is a land grab. That won’t be Ukraine, because the US are not involved there, but if the US try to follow up on their claims about Greenland or Panama, Taipei is doomed within a month. As Trump is an adept of quid pro quo, that would mean a good deal for him, so the goal is to extract as much value from Taipei before letting them dead in the water.
I was pretty excited about Hare until Devault said that Hare wouldn't be doing multithreading as he preferred multiprocessing. That was a pretty big dealbreaker for me. The rest of the language looks quite clean though!

Xi has been moving in that direction yes, but generally that has not been true. Also, it sounds like you greatly sympathize with Chinese authoritarianism, maybe you need to do a reality check. You can always go live in China if prefer that. I've been many times, for months at a time, since I have in-laws there. Lately I would describe it as a high-tech North Korea.

As someone who has used Sphinx search for a long time, and wound up using Manticore after it got forked off of Sphinx, I found that it does much better than the native PostgreSQL search, while not being as resource hungry as Elastic. Especially because it's flexible and can pull from PostgreSQL (and usually the next step after the built in PostgreSQL FTS, for me), it's definitely something I'd be weighing any new search tooling in Postgres (such as yours or ParadeDB's) against.

The Netherlands still produces 64% more CO2 per capita compared to France, despite having only 45% higher GDP per capita. And France has way more dirty industry, if we looked purely at power generation they would look even better.

This is what significant investment in nuclear does. Even the countries that invested the most in renewables can't beat it, yet. I'm very curious to see how long it will take the renewable-only countries to catch up, especially considering that emissions accumulate.

Show HN: Multi-Agent Trajectory Planning with Rxinfer.jl

There's no reason AI couldn't do that too. It will continue moving up the cognitive ladder: there's nothing special about our ability to ask those questions.

For example, try asking Claude "what decisions do I have to make when building a mobile app?" It gave me a list that looked quite a lot like yours, which I then asked it to compact into a single paragraph:

> When building a mobile app, you'll need to decide between native or cross-platform development (React Native, Flutter); which platforms to prioritize; backend infrastructure; offline capabilities; data storage approach; UI/UX design system; monetization strategy (free, freemium, subscription); launch approach; ASO strategy; budget allocation across development, design, and marketing; timeline with clear milestones; team composition requirements; and legal compliance needs including privacy policy and relevant regulations like GDPR.

and of course, I can ask it to answer those questions for a given app. People have written about this, but the ratio of "input amplification" is only getting larger: in the future, you will be able to ask for a multiplayer 3D chess game with native Android and iOS clients with branching timelines, and it'll write every bit of code for you, while asking you about important decisions.

(See also Claude Code and similar agents.)
If everyone just solved the problem for themselves there wouldn’t be any problem for the world.

Taiwan has most of its trade with China (like it or not).

There are numerous things that are e.g. illegal in China but "legal" in Taiwan and so Chinese business is conducted there e.g. online gambling sites.

Then there are plenty of Taiwanese companies that end up being a disguise for China 1 way or another e.g. to bypass sanctions (well so is Singapore as per recent news on nvidia gpu smuggling). 1 of the best examples is VIA technologies, that helped China create x86 CPUs back in the days.

A lot of Chinese gangs in Asia used to operate out of Hong Kong. When 1997 happened (i.e. return to China), most of them gave up or moved to other places like Taiwan since China has the death penalty.

Absolutely agree.

When my boomer dad complains about the Pakistani family he went to sell something to having 2 BMWs it's definitely racist.

But the racism is inflamed by poor economic conditions, and the rationale is "how come these people that aren't even from here have a better life than me?"

Sadly, people seeking power know this and use the racism to get power and don't fix the underlying cause, which was never immigration — it was wealth inequality.
We may never find out. The financial incentive to keep it secret is too great.

If someone broke SHA-256, they could generate blocks directing all coins to their own address and thus destroy the entire system. However, in that scenario it is likely that everybody else would roll the chain back to before the break and restart it with a different algorithm (likely SHA-3).

In summary, an obvious compromise would get caught and neutralized.

So a wily possessor of an SHA-256 break would use it subtly. Most likely they would target “lost” coins that haven’t moved in decades that nobody will notice are missing. Not Satoshi’s though. Too much heat.
Goodwill is realized only a sale yes. It is the difference between the fair market value of the assets and the price (i.e. value) paid of the asset.

FMV is calculated and updated in books periodically, price or value is only possible to account for if there is a sale otherwise any metric for value is not sound accounting wise, but that doesn't mean those things don't have value at all(or only on sale), they are just not accounted until then. It is for a good reason you wouldn't want a company to say use goodwill as a security for leverage for example. Goodwill does conventionally include intangible value like brand, some forms of IP, and things like customer(employee?) loyalty and so on.

Forgetting to mention that explicitly in the article is a big miss, I think. It makes the ARP part feel like it's missing crucial information or is not actually entirely explained, while it's the previous part that misses something.
