he's saying that musk was correct when he claimed he made an offer to the biden administration to help return the astronauts using SpaceX. I don't think he cares that much about the "and musk was rejected for political reasons, not technical ones" part.
This seems to be unfounded doomy conjecture. I'm running multiple Brother printers on the latest firmware with no such problems.

One of the things people don't appreciate is the range of quality in aftermarket ink. Some of it is good but a lot of it is knockoff quality junk.

People are probably overreacting when their Amazon knockoff toner fails in the machine and the Brother rep's official response is "Use genuine toner".
Been a happy htop user for a long time but had never heard of btop, will definitely be switching :)

Hah, same. A small shareware music visualizer I made in 1995 still lives on archive.org because it was on the cover disc of PC Format one month. The source code is long gone, but it was written in x86 assembler, so the binary is practically the source. I keep meaning to download it and crack the timeout on it to make it the full version :)

>Instead of the controller verbally telling the pilot where to go, it seems feasible that the controller (or some coordinating software) could just digitally tell the plane where to go.

An intermediate step would at least be transmitting those instructions digitally and showing it on a map that the pilot can follow. There have been a number of incidents where pilots misunderstood where they were, and incorrectly followed instructions.
I also feel like I’m in another reality. I use cursor and aider every day and now grok also. If I didn’t have years and years of experience I wouldn’t be able to fix shit code it regularly produces or figure it out when it can’t (and that happens a lot).

Also learning-wise I don’t feel like I get much from LLMs versus traditional doc reading and lecture / YouTube watching. So you need the knowledge already also.

I don’t get it. Are people just lying or is there a secret tool that is 100x better than anything I can find?
You seem to believe that military networks are slapped together with off-the-shelf SaaS apps, or that military software contracts don't specify that all that "e.g. for analytics" crap has to be pulled out of the build, or that they don't test these things regularly.

Have you ever worked on a military contract? Or even just a regular government contract? It's a whole other type of sales, contracting, and fulfillment process.
Is it AI generated, curated?

I’m not saying that this interview was conducted at gunpoint, but I might make a connection between Wilmore’s views on Trump and Musk? And who has control of Wilmore’s entire future at the moment.
It takes more effort, but far less than you're thinking I wager. I protect myself from Google - and a few others - as much as is practical for me through firewalling. On both my previous and current device I have never signed into a Google account, all of Google's apps are disabled (except the gallery, as disabling it breaks a key integration), and Rethink DNS manages all outgoing network connections at the app level. I use Aurora to access the Play Store (and also F-Droid and Obtainium), FairMail for email, and a variety of other alternatives.

It takes a bit to get it all configured initially, but once done it's sufficiently smooth sailing with occasional tweaks. The only thing that annoys me sometimes is that notifications no longer work properly for many apps, as the majority use Google's notifications service. Accessing OS updates may also become problematic, depending on the device OEM.

The incident count is meaningless. What constitutes a security incident varies wildly between organisations.

Some will include events with no realised impact in that count (e.g secrets in logs with no evidence of misuse, software vulnerabilities), others do not.

There's also massive gap between what talent organisations think they need (ie what the ad and interview says), and what they actually have the capacity to utilise, especially for in house roles. I'm an experienced blue teamer earning a top 1% salary to copy and paste yaml files all day.

I'm at the point where I'm actively planning my exit from the industry, because despite the excellent pay there's only so long I can endure this level of boredom.
I've popped back to this thread again (in the midst of another argument:) and noticed you've edited a preceding comment (perhaps unnecessarily but certainly magnanimously), which, along with this apology, I think, shows you in a good light and HN in general. Thank you, it's so good to see people being reasonable in amongst the tribalism.
WebDAV didn't come out until the back half of the 90s, and it was slow to be adopted at first.

Back in the day, you could author a web page directly in GruntPage, and publish it straight to your web server provided said server had the FPSE (FrontPage Server Extensions), a proprietary Microsoft add-on, installed. WebDAV was like the open-standards response to that. Eventually in later versions of FrontPage the FPSE was deprecated and support for WebDAV was provided.
It wouldn't show up in deportation rates because they're not talking about deportation, they're talking about people illegally entering the country. That administration was enabling it through the CBP One app, up to some limit per day (which I remember being 2000 but am not sure that's right).

Also there is a massive spike in encounters during those years: https://ohss.dhs.gov/khsm/cbp-encounters
It would not be odd. Outrage is emotion, and logic has little impact. Especially dealing with groups rather than individuals. But even individuals will rationalize their boiled-alive lobster dinner, which is normal in their worldview, while decrying something new they impulsively dislike. And then forget the rationalization entirely, because that is how brains work. Getting the untrained to adjust their worldview, the model of the world their minds use to make decisions, is really difficult as the brain actively defends the model that has worked well so far.
You don't generally need either miniaturization, nor a nuclear triad, nor MAD. Those are only a requirement if you are defending yourself against an adversary with a ton of nuclear weapons of their own and significant nuclear countermeasures.

If that is the case, then yes, it is going to take a massive investment to build and maintain that capability, which is the reason why most developed countries don't bother. But if you only want tactical nukes, it doesn't take that much.

I could not care less if e.g. Italy, Spain or Finland have developed nukes in secret. It would not surprise me one bit, either.
So you're entire point is the US economy and population is larger, so it can bully its allies and economic partners more despite having a trade surplus in excess of 90 billion (including services which simpy makes sense, especially considering the size dichotomy you point out). That's a salient point in today's political climate, the US doesn't have allies or partners anymore.

Showing just how uninformed you are, Prime Minister Trudeau resigned already, and mostly unrelated to the US. Canadians were going to vote the out the Liberals largely over increasing dissatisfaction with his leadership long before the election. His resignation is allowing new leadership to take over the liberal party (being voted on this week), and then federally we will likely be going to the polls in the coming months to decide between them and the Conservatives (who are closer to your Democrats than most of you realize)

Whichever party wins, all of them are unified in standing strong against bullying tactics. You can hurt us, but you'll be surprised how resilient we are and how willing we are to fight economically or otherwise.

We look forward to being friends with most of you again after this bullshit is over.
The issue is actually that there aren't, let's say I go to derby, how many ML engineers will I find, or infrastructure coders, Biomed researchers or industrial chemists.

Not that many.

I don’t know if you’ve been following American politics. But the guy who is currently President captured the GOP by basically beheading the next-in-line of the Bush dynasty that was responsible for those “past 20 years.” https://youtu.be/H4ThZcq1oJQ?si=B5JoZGwU6umVjbbu

The criticism of decades of American foreign policy was finally vindicated. So there is very little appetite to give up that achievement by getting embroiled in yet another war that’s billed as “easy” and “just” this time (they all were—remember, “we will be greeted as liberators?”)
The 486sx had a 16 bit external bus interface so it could work with 386 chipsets. The DX processors had a full 32 bit bus and correspondingly better throughput. The 486 never included an integrated FPU, you had to add a separate co-processor for that. I could go on about clock multipliers and base frequencies but I'll spare you.
Granian maintainer here.

Can't speak for Robyn author, but in my opinion it's not a valid comparison. The only thing Granian and Robyn have in common is the usage of Rust and PyO3, but that would be like comparing two projects using Cython.

Granian is just a server, and as such it is comparable to projects like uvicorn, Daphne, hypercorn, gunicorn, uwsgi. It can be used to run any WSGI or ASGI application out there.
Robyn is a web framework, and thus it does a lot more than Granian, and as such it can be compared to other async first web frameworks, like starlette, litestar, sanic, quart, Emmett, blacksheep.

If we're talking about performance then.. well it's still Python running the app code. There's no way to escape that.
If we're talking about features, ergonomics, etc. then again, Granian is just a server, so there's not so much to talk about :)

Seconded. Blindsight remains one of my favorite meditations on the Mind's I (not a typo) that I've read.

Echopraxia, the 'sequel' (the events occur at the same time as the events in Blindsight, with a completely different group of characters) has grown on me over time, too. At the very least, it gave me a great appreciation for Portia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portia_(spider)
> waste their nights and weekends doing a variation of your job

Why is that a waste? I'm an EM and code both at work and on nights/weekends. During the work day, I spend most of my time helping other people directly (code review, talking through designs, 1:1s, xfn collab, etc.) To build larger things, I do them nights and weekends.

It's not a waste. I'm better as an EM because of it. And being a better EM gets me more of what I want (fixing healthcare).

Not everyone can do this—and at some point in my life maybe I can't either—but it absolutely makes me better at my job. I don't consider that a waste.

Big distinction we’re not talking about is: coding just to stay sharp, or coding to actually merge to production?

Strong no from me on (2). Production coding takes tiime and focus and would eat into manager’s management work.

On the other hand, managers at all levels should actively engage with the output of their org. For the direct manager of a development team, that means periodically running the build, maybe coding on weekends (which I do) to explore ideas and prototypes, etc.

What?

- LEA is just an instruction moves the address calculated by an addressing mode into its output operand, rather than performing a data transfer to or from that address; all the addressing that LEA can do, MOV instructions can also do.

- The indexed addressing modes of the x86 used by MOV or LEA do not support a scale factor of 3, only powers of two: 1, 2, 4, 8. So address generation has no use for multiplication by 3.

- Article makes it clear that the multiplier by 3 is part of the floating point multiplier.
Eh "when everyone is special nobody is anymore" is strongly not true when it comes to nukes and MAD. This is obvious.
You can replace "Claude" with any WYSIWYG no-code solution from back in the day like Dreamweaver or whatever and it's basically the same.

Absolutely, I enjoyed making a comment that generated some push back and I enjoyed defending my considered choice.

My only mild disappointment is that while I opened the door by airquoting "mining" and drawing attention to an actual nation scale spice industry no one made comment on the "spice mining" in both Dune and in the Spice mines of Kessel being both the harvesting of a seasonally produced organic bloom.

In Dune the spice harvesters surface scooped fresh blooms as they appeared from active worms, on Kessel I believe (I'm no authority here) they harvested old buried organics using mineral mining techniques rather than fresh cropping from a surface source.

EDIT: It appears the Kessel spice may have been a mineral? .. https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Spice_mines_of_Kessel

TBH that's a rabbit hole of detail I'm happy to skirt.
I don’t believe the person you responded to was talking about people outside Europe, since they specifically mentioned Europe.

Is there a reason you are getting offended on behalf of other people that weren’t mentioned?

> Bringing up bird welfare to oppose wind turbines is bullshit. If people cared about birds or wildlife we wouldn't be in this mess at all.

Your comment seems to be a blanket opposition to bird welfare in general, not a limited critique of quantity harmed. I do think the distinction remains important, hence why I made my post.

> Do they make a lot more noise than giant cruise ships? Luxury yachts?

Given that the ships are itinerant and their turbines are much smaller, I do believe the type of noise pollution they generate is qualitatively less harmful. I imagine the scale is something along the lines of:

1. windmills
2. sonar
3. marine vehicle engine and turbine noise

Windmills take the top spot for being a constant barrage over a large area.

Sonar gets the second for the extreme volume some ships (esp. military) are capable of producing, though there are far fewer of them.

Marine vehicles come last. There's a greater danger of animals being hit by fast moving boats (for example, manatees) than discombobulation from engine and turbine noise.
I imagine training time would be an issue with biological computers. Waiting for chemicals means a very low clock speed. And you can't run a 100 training jobs in parallel and merge them.
> would have both required Ukraine to almost entirely disarm and also allow Russia to veto any future military partnerships Ukraine might have including non-NATO ones.

Ukraine now faces almost total destruction because they didn't take the deal.

It should be a clear lesson to other countries - don't be belligerent with your much stronger neighbors.

The US and Europe getting involved simply increased the death and destruction.

I'm not saying it is fair or right or just. It simply is.
It's cool to see some new modern all-in-one email solutions. Stalwart is another good one. Would be even cooler to see this lead to a bit of a resurgence of small and self-hosted email providers.
Show HN: I struggled to find "profitable" ideas so I built this free tool
Since 2025 started, I spend one month building a tool that solves a problem. But sometimes, I get stuck on which solution to work on. So I came across GummySearch through Greg Isenberg- but I currently can't afford the monthly cost.

So I built an alternative, that helps you find startup ideas from Reddit subreddits.

Kindly try it out and lemme know what you think I should improve on. Btw, it's currently free to use. :)
Any bets on how this will be justified by Trump voters?

I'm thinking at first it'll be 'playing hardball negotiating tactic' and when it looks like the tariffs are here to stay 'paying more is patriotic'.

Yeah, I think that will run out basically. They used to have support in Europe and many other countries as well and that has all but dried up at this point.

It definitely depends on what language you’re using and the complexity. But Claude 3.5 and now 3.7 are far superior in my experience for coding tasks. It’s like the difference between ChatGPT 3.5 and 4. It’s far and away more useful and less error-prone for my use cases than other sota models. Cursor + Claude 3.7 in Agent mode is my goto.

Well, everyone needs food, but not everyone needs luxury items. Lowering taxes on basics like groceries and raising them on luxury items or even better, raising income tax for the rich, would be way better.
> What makes you think that?

Becasue Putin has openly talked about how Latvia and Moldova, for example, are part of Russia.
> precludes efficient use of resources for simpler purposes

Strong disagree. If it were an animated gif then the browser will be astonishingly efficient because of crazy good optimisations.

The underlying reason is that developers are limited to the techniques/toolbox they know. The performance costs are unpredictable because of:

(1) the declarative style (using imperative solutions would have other costs),

(2) debugging browser performance regressions is difficult (SQL EXPLAIN is more learnable).

Browsers enable developers. I could design that animation in CSS even though I'm a developer, plus I understand the article fully. I couldn't design an animated gif because I am totally unfamiliar with any tools for achieving that.

I think the Blink and V8 teams do an exceptionally good job when choosing compromises. HTML/CSS/SVG/JS and Chromium are winning the UI wars because they deliver practical and efficient enough solutions. Other UI solutions I have experienced all have other downsides. Browsers are magical.

I mostly really agree with your comment.
It's not up to the President to do everything that needs doing. Presidents make stupid promises they can never fulfill all the time; this has been the case going back decades at a minimum, and probably further than that. It's really annoying how people have this delusion about just how much power Presidents have.
How are you differentiating between caring about values and caring about virtues?
Consumption isn't the only driver of inflation.

The excess private borrowing to pay tariffs or higher cost supply lines to keep business moving, especially where the govt is using the money to give tax breaks to people already well above the income/consumption curve, is going to drive a spike in inflation.

As we've seen with covid and post covid cycles companies will adjust margins and increase profits after these spikes rather than reduce costs further increasing the length and impacts of inflation spikes.

On top of that I expect more performative crap like checks sent out in Trump's name that aren't enough to actually help for more than a single grocery bill, but drive debt and inflation up further overall.

It'll be a fun ride.

I ran a single Cobolt RaQ for years for a client. I think it was the RaQ 2. It was dedicated hosted at RackSpace back in the late 90s to about 2002

At the time, RackSpace was an excellent customer service company even for smaller accounts. To this day it was the best customer service I ever worked with.

When I decommissioned the RaQ, my RackSpace rep called me and asked if they could ship the system to me. Apparently, it was the last Colbalt system they had running by years.
Cryptography Engineering definitely does not hold up. It predates (almost willfully, given the chronology) modern notions of AEAD, key derivation, random number generation, and elliptic curve asymmetric cryptography.

The standard recommendation these days is Aumasson's Serious Cryptography. I like David Wong's Real-World Cryptography as well.
Agreed. It unfortunately wouldn't be odd at all.

I was able help with Christpiracy.com which has some wild mental gymnastics on display.
