This seems like a really political article with not really any tech-related content...

Also note the article starts with the qualifier "in the first few hours", meaning it's not like they're sitting there all day every day with no lights/wifi. This seems like an exaggerated, politically motivated piece that doesn't belong on HN.
Intel has a fab nearby as well which is actually net positive for potable water because they take in waste water and purify it enough that it goes back into the supply after they’re done using it.
Here's my favorite UI/UX bug which has been there for years:

In Calendar (macOS) create a new event.

In the start or end time, type in the Minutes field, but type slowly.

For example, type "2" pause a bit, then type "1"

If there's more than ~300msec pause between the two keypresses, the 2 changes into "02" and then the 1 overrides it, so you end up with "01" instead of 21.

Works with any two kepresses. Same problem in the date fields.

Completely wrong, and super bad for accessibility.
A cheap car costs around 300€ per month (including taxes, repairs, loss of value, etc.), or way more if you drive a lot or if you have a car that is new-ish. I don't think that 4-8 deliveries per month would cost more than 80€ per month in delivery cost. Also, what's keeping you from going shopping by bike? We do it all the time.

> It is weird that they didn't open source the Remastered edition which already includes two modernised games that I assume use either new technology in place of deprecated versions, or just newer versions of those.

Part of the "value add," I'd think. The source code for the original games are released if you really want to play the old-and-creaky version from your youth, exactly as you remember it, ported onto a Raspberry Pi or whatever. But if you want the modern, "batteries included" remaster, you'll pay for it.

EA being, well, EA, you have to assume someone made the calculated decision that any unofficial port derived from the original source would be a sufficiently "degraded" experience compared to their Remasters so as not to be a financial threat. But perhaps releasing the actual Remastered source would have been.
The agreement has no explicit terms for whether or not nations must enforce it, that's left up to the nations to decide on their own. It was intentionally written this way, otherwise Russia would have never agreed to it.
Fabs recycle the water so it's not a big deal. A lot of water by industrial standards is not a lot of water by state standards, even if we're talking about a pretty desert-y state.

Same experience. The "government = inefficient" propaganda has been repeated ad infinitum for decades so that now it feels like a law of nature to people. My experience is however that every large org is inefficient in its own unique way, no matter which sector.
I am curious about the plan of Europe about on countering a nuclear first strike on Ukraine by Russia, because the latter has run out of options because the war dragged on and on by the support from Europe, draining Russia of everything they have..

People write comments like this often and I'm always wondering if they are just expressing that the device isn't for them or they don't think the device is for anybody.

There are so many devices out there that you can probably find the perfect thing for you. For some of us, the iPad Pro is a great choice.
That’s incorrect. It had a lot to do with it because it represented the fact that Europe’s governments had little to no wealth after WW2 while the US had it all (thus economic and military dominance).
No direct recommendation for that use case, but one strategy I've heard being used and that works with complex documents (or where hallucinations are Very Bad™ - like invoice processing) is using multiple techniques and models at once in a quorum approach. For example, direct ingestion of PDFs into Gemini, OCR and ingestion of text, plus perhaps using another model like GPT. If they all agree on a fact, you're (probably) good. If not, it can be bumped up to human correction.
What about them? 10 years ago the best-selling vehicle in the US was a sedan. Today it's a pickup truck. Nobody said boo about road damage. It's a made-up reason to hate on EVs.

Do you have any evidence to indicate that earthquakes could increase due to climate or is this just FUD.
I'm 100% onboard with the 'Lawrence of Arabia inspired Dune' theory but I think one of the cleverest things Herbert did with Dune is to introduce a 'visionary substance' (spice) into the otherwise austere Islamic-adjacent motif.

He not only shrouded the spice in ritual and religion (which isn't THAT suprising considering many human societies used visionary substsances, and Herbert was a child of the 1960s psychedelic culture too) but also give it a central place in the economy and functioning of the empire.

What if a visionary substance was the real deal that gave you insight and precognition? What a rebel leader took full advantage of such a substance? What if that was combined with religious fervour?

Dune is basically space war + outsider Messiah + Islam + psychedelics
> The problem with your argument is that in current times it is much more likely that China acts rationally than the US does.

Doesn't make his point less valid, in fact it makes it probably more valid. When other people are acting irrationally you might as well do so too since you can't predict what other people will do in response.
I built a Whisper-based note taking app that doesn't suck
I was extremely sick of the heaps of poorly made audio transcription apps on the appstore, and I even lost a 2 hour lecture transcription because of an app crash.

I set out to build an app that does live transcription and audio recording, that also consistently saves to the background so you never lose your data. I started poking around more and adding a bunch of features like folders and file sharing that I needed to use for class.

The app is built completely with swiftui, and I spent a lot of time optimizing every animation and design because it was an app I personally wanted to use for a long time. Just wanted to share it with you guys if anyone else had come across the same issue taking minutes for your meetings or lectures.
Then I can tell you that the favours culture is as actual as ever, maybe we hang around in different parts of the country.

Additionally, one just has to watch the news to see how it works, especially among our beloved politicians and major economical groups, should I list them here for our foreign friends?

Or are you going to say it is all fake news?
> (e.g. the lack of native 64-bit integers that MrMacCall mentioned.

They exist, I think you just mean `int` is 63-bit and you need to use operators specialized `Int64.t` for the full precision.
Thaiger Sprint 2025: Starring H2O, the HTTP Server (& Dropping Nginx)
That's a very nice and polished site, I especially like the sidebar for reading and speaking time, that seems very useful. I notice emojis count as two characters, but that's probably the standard, right?

I think there is a large market for apps that just work, they do one thing and one thing well. I remember reading about somebody who makes a living out of their app, which is just a crossword maker, but accessible enough to be used by teachers and ordinary people.
I maintain auto-generated Rust and Zig bindings for my C libraries (along with Odin-, Nim-, C3-, D- and Jai-bindings), and it's a difference like night and day (with Zig being near-perfect and Rust being near-worst-case - at least among the listed languages).
Optimistically, the increase of EV sales is good for decreasing overall tail pipe emissions.

But I still see the EV as saving the car industry rather than saving the world/environment. Reducing tail pipe emissions is great, but if it means increased tire wear particles, brake dust, increased wear on road infrastructure and increased demand on lithium supplies.

Are we really better off than before?

I would like to see a future where the private vehicle is _optional_ and public transportation is a viable option. A future where our cities and towns are not built around private vehicles (ie, expensive roads, parking garages, street parking, massive highways, infrastructure maintenance).

That’s a much better goal to achieve than pushing EVs or self driving cars.
Nuclear power plants don't need to be built at scale. I reckon we could get away with a few thousand in the entire world. And by "grossly improper", I mean things that are more expensive than correct maintenance, and make the power plant work less well: I can't rule out that anyone would want to do that, but you'd need a bona fide conspiracy (or some kind of purge of all available experts) to even attempt it.
At some point in the next year or two, if you were to make me give up the browser (and all websites) or an LLM, I might choose the browser.

I recently switched to them as a step to help de-Google. Will not go back to standard Android and push for /e/OS at the moment. I don't mind the extra weight and size between the Fairphone 4 and Pixle 5a.

Issue with most phone hardware with Linux is that they are all past products that don't have G5 support. Looks like all the push for Linux phones is coming from the EU and stale and stagnate in the USA, hardware wise.
Yeah; China’s counter-tariffs on ag start today.

Also, Ontario supplies half the US’s nickel, and is threatening an embargo. That’d shut down a bunch of our factories in short order. They could also cut off electricity supplies to the north, but I get the impression the US grid would mostly absorb that (probably thanks to investment in smart grids for renewables, ironically).

Reminds me of a NYC startup I was at (while hired living on the west coast).
CEO was really big on in-person (well except for all the LATAM devs I had to manage...) so they required me to fly out frequently, and my boss was incredulous I would book the 6 hour flight during week days because it "ate into work time".

You can treat panics as a big deal, and not necessarily kill the whole program. It's not mutually exclusive.

For example, at my work, we have some nightly long running tasks. We don't panic every day. But from time to time, let's say once or twice per month, some code changes cause a panic. On that day, we don't want to kill the long running tasks for no good reason other than somehow indirectly making someone fix the panic. We have alerts for that, and we're all grownups.
I don't know, I'm kind of annoyed to have to go to the charger. My parents' house has a plug and the car is always full, whenever I need it. It does make a difference in convenience, so I'm installing a charger in my garage in a few days as well.

However, many parking lots have slowish AC chargers nowadays, so it's very convenient to have the car charge for an hour or two while I do my shopping or whatever.

Basically, it's the difference between having to wait specifically for a charge or whether I'm doing my own thing and charging the car as a bonus.
the ipad skype apps puts the call button where the hangup button is, so if someone hangs up right when you are going to click it, you call them again.

and this is such an easy fix, just don't make components touchable for X milliseconds after they are visible, some value below average human reaction time.

this could of course get in the way of people quickly navigating via muscle memory, but there's a probably a threshold where it can prevent one without affecting the other.
Video editing apps like DaVinci Resolve will take advantage of this nicely, as will similar multimedia apps.

Local AI models and gaming also come to mind.
It's not hard to find out that many individuals in the current administration -- and the thinkers they praise -- are fans of Rand. In particular, they are fans of her novel, Atlas Shrugged. Many of the terms these individuals use, like "moochers" and "looters," come straight off the pages of Atlas Shrugged. Even the president, who by all accounts almost never reads anything, says it's his favorite book. Am I exaggerating Rand's influence? Perhaps, but not by a lot. All it takes to verify my claim is a few web searches.
Does NO code platform exist?
Even the Lovable and the V0 of the world require the extra mile of fetching APIs and working with a DB, which aren't great options for truly non-technical teams. Any thoughts?

The base model is $599 in the US, or $799 in Canada. Which is odd as Apple usually screws Canada and has worse-than-exchange prices in Canada, and in this case it's actually better than exchange prices. In contrast is the release of the 16e just two weeks ago, where the pricing is $599 in the US, $899 in Canada. Weird.

I wonder if US tariffs on China have something to do with this, and the US price is more than it would have been.

> just like I would never "trust" an AI to do any technical job

I'd trust a model (whether machine-learning or traditional) to the degree of its measured accuracy on the given task. If some deep neural network for tumor detection/classification has been independently verified as having higher recall/precision than the human baseline, then I have no real issue with it. I don't see the sense in having a seemingly absolute rejection ("never NEVER").
Depends on what you mean by "effectively". Yes, you can absolutely have nuclear weapons without nuclear power infrastructure, North Korea and Israel both have nuclear weapons, but no nuclear power programs.

Having a civilian program makes things a little easier, or at least easier to hide. Italy does have a tiny uranium reserve, which it never mined, but I'd guess that they'd need to buy the uranium they'd need for a nuclear weapon. That's a bit easier to do, if you can disguise it as nuclear fuel.

>> Why is the answer always more real estate

Because as the population grows, we need an equivalent amount of new housing. Short of that, we compete for limited inventory and prices rise.

> draining Russia of everything they have

They can always just stop? It's not as if Ukranian tanks are at the gates of Moscow, it's more like the US withdrawal from Afghanistan. Or the previous USSR withdrawal from Afghanistan.

It is unclear whether the UK or France would threaten a retaliatory strike in case of nuclear weapons use not against their own territory. It doesn't seem likely, but if there's one thing Putin is very cautious about it's his own personal survival.
Just to be pedantic, propaganda doesn't have to be false.

> 1) The USA does not have launchable nuclear weapons in neighboring countries to Taiwan that necessitate a buffer

Existing US land and sea based nuclear weapons could hit targets in China in a matter of minutes. Being based closer to China/Taiwan might shouldnt matter in the age of ICBMs.
Basically the joy of programming on the bare metal - just a lot more metal in those days. Those of us decades younger got first experience with, say, a Commodore PET. Which despite running a programming language was still pretty bare metal. You poked at this memory location, and that happened. If it didn't happen fast enough, learn some machine language.

I really don't know what the modern day equivalent is - of a machine that is so limited that you can really understand it completely, and develop programming skills by doing wizardly things with the limited resources.
Brexit was around the same time as COVID, so hard to split the two.

>> It's also way higher than it ever was back when Britain was monoracial.

Yes, but the immigration model has changed. It used to be "let the best and brightest from around the world work and live in the UK" now it is "let anybody move here that is willing to work for less money".

It would cost money, but could be done more cheaply at scale and if amortized.

Start by spacing them mostly near housing, and spread them to replace more parking meters as usage increases.

It is also expensive to not switch off of ICE vehicles.

I don't think voters are dumb. The more I talk to Trump voters to understand why they voted how they did, the more it becomes clear that they knew he was serious when campaigning on taking rights away from and making life harder for marginalized people in America, and this is what they voted for, everything else be damned.
That’s because if you’re on the forefront of AR you’re probably targeting Vision 2. The people doing AR work have moved on to different hardware.
Brazil simply does not have any leverage in the matter. The country almost conducted the first test in Serra do Cachimbo, but the hole where the nuke was to be detoneted was closed by the former president. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serra_do_Cachimbo

You assume that continuous combat deployments automatically translate to full-scale war readiness, but there's a big difference between counterinsurgency operations and peer-to-peer warfare.

The US military has been engaged in conflicts for decades, but most of them involved fighting non-state actors or weaker conventional forces, not a high-intensity war against an advanced military.
Oh yes, so many subtleties.

From now on anything short of "Can I press the red button myself?" will not cut the mustard.
It would probably depend a lot on the type of conflict. The US would almost certainly have air-superiority, which would have a significant difference. Of course, air-superiority didn't "win" the US wars in Afghanistan or Iraq, but those were more guerilla-style wars with a somewhat (at least) hostile larger population. A US-Russia conflict would probably look pretty different. Or it would just go nuclear, in which case... well, so much for tactics.
You can make statistics about whatever you want and assign any meaning you want to the numbers you get. It doesnt mean it’s true. The assumptions in the economic theories do not hold true in real life, hence all computations are useless

Yes, it's a valuable lesson that, though it may become a nazi cesspit and vastly more annoying to interact with, an organization can survive for a surprisingly long time as a shambolic remnant of its former self, doing less and less well for fewer people.

As I understand it:

- twitter became less appealing to advertisers so revenue dropped

- you can't really firmly track the valuation over time after it was delisted but Fidelity late last year estimated its value had declined by 80%. There's a bump from people speculating that Musk's political position will somehow enrich it, but I don't think that's evidence that twitter itself was well-managed.

- a bunch of communities that had previously been very active on twitter did just kinda fizzle or go elsewhere as using their product became deeply unpleasant
But GUIs show you all available options without having to read the docs. They only change when you install updates. You can simply not install updates that you don't like.
