It makes perfect sense when you use the logic of expansion and imperialism - this is the same type of talk that Putin has used for more than a decade with Ukraine, and the same type of speech that a certain German leader used about Austria many decades ago.
> aider [...] It kept telling me to "add files" that are in the damn directory that I opened it in.

That's intentional, and I like it. It limits the context dynamically to what is necessary (of course it makes mistakes). You can also add files with placeholders and in a number of other ways. but most of the time I let Aider decide. It has a repomap (https://aider.chat/docs/repomap.html), gradually building up knowledge and makes proposals based on this and other information it gathered also with token costs and out-of-context-window in mind.

As for manual changes: aider is opinionated regarding the role of Git in your workflow. At first glance, this repels some people and some stick to this opinion. For others, it is exactly one of the advantages, especially in combination with the shell-like nature of the tool. But the standard Git handling can still be overridden. For me personally, the default behavior becomes more and more smooth and second nature. And the whole thing is scriptable, I only begin to use the possibilities.

In general: Tools have to be learned, impatient one-shot attempts are simply not enough anymore.
you can also out register preferences directly into the asm volatile line.

asm ( assembler template
: output operands (optional)
: input operands (optional)
: clobbered registers list (optional)
);

clobbered register list will give same hints to compiler... register keyword is also a hint not a fixed thing so i cant imagine its really handled differently?

might be wrong, but it seem earier to me to use all the features of the asm call itself rather than outside of it pre-specifying these preferences.

If this is something you truly believe in, lead by example.
AI code generation tools provide a dubious boost to short term productivity at the expense of extra work in the medium term and skill atrophy in the long term.

At the moment, sure. They've only been available for about 5 minutes in the grand scheme of dev tools. If you believe that AI assistants are going to be put back in the box then you are just flat out wrong. They'll improve significantly.

I'm very skeptical of the claims that AI is writing significant amounts of working code for people

You may be right, but people write far too much code as it is. Software development should be about thinking more than typing. Maybe AI's most useful feature will be writing something that's slightly wrong in order to get devs to think about a good solution to their problem and then they can just fix the AI's code. If that results in better software then it's a huge win worth billions of dollars.

The belief that AI is worthless unless it's writing the code that a good dev would write is a trap that you should avoid.
Agree that Ms Rachel has same effect but with the difference that it teaches kids something.
Simple counting would not uncover the error. The company was required by support contracts to have some equipment in store in case of failures to quickly replace what failed. And the error was related to not updating in one Excel sheet information that a particular long-term contract was replaced with different one requiring less equipment on storage after updating another sheet. The Access DB with the support of enforcing complex cross-table constrains detected that.
Writing #1
none of those three, but I expect a combination of methanol, biodiesel and (only for near-shore and inland shipping) battery electric.
It's a big world. The collapse of the US is going to hurt everyone but China can survive the loss of the US as a trading partner by pivoting to other markets more so than the US can survive the loss of China and maybe everyone else by trying to roll back the clock on globalism. If anything, that just creates leverage for China against the US.

I had a similiar thing with my eye sight: I couldn't believe or accept that my eye sight got really bad in a short period of time (i was 15).

But i did compensate for 5 diopter relativly good.

I did learn plenty of that research, made me more aware of eye sight and because i was very young, hard to say that it was obvious to just accept it at that time.

In hindsight my school grades were definitly worste than they had to be...

And regarding noise: We have a wonderful big lake here in germany and small mountains around it, you can hear the autobahn (going around it) everywhere and we really do a shitty job with handling car noise. Even on the small mountain or in the nature area you hear cars.

I definitly will move out of the city in the next few years and in an area which does not have a autobahn close by. I'm happy driving 30-60 minutes to the autobahn.

MCP servers work only on desktop app. Otherwise I don't mind using web app. On the desktop version I miss I can not have (at least i didn't figure it out) multiple conversations open at once. So I use web a lot.
I think we would want French submarines, and assistance from the UK/EU/NATO group long before China and Russia - after all, with the US strengthening it's ties to Russia, that makes absolutely no sense.
Of course, you can get this information in Emacs, too. You'll need to get your lat and long, first:

(setq calendar-latitude 12.3456
calendar-longitude -98.7654)

Then, you can `M-x sunrise-sunset` and see the times (and total daylight hours) in the echo area.
Productivity-wise speaking, if the job is being done, why would you care who is doing it?
I agree with all of this with some minor modifications:

C-level compensation is not a problem unless it’s a problem. Linus Torvalds is compensated handsomely, and it’s okay, because he still delivers.

all the other Mozilla shit also isn’t a problem until it’s a problem. It’s a problem in Mozilla’s case because they neglect the browser.

I’ve switched to Orion by Kagi with their new Linux beta. It’s sadly WebKit, but with the increase in bullshit from Mozilla, the scales have tipped for me.

Crazy: The Orion iOS app has adblock.

After reading this and realizing that glycerol is processed in the liver like ethanol, I can't help but wonder if slushies will also cause adverse effects with medicines that interact poorly with alcohol.
Yes, it's called the CAN bus and the protocol is an ISO standard.

It was the 80's, so my educated guess is more likely coke.
But a useless summation when everyone has internet. To clarify, I mean that it was lot of words with no meaning behind why you particularly think it was a “good reference”.
CANDU ! We have a great reactor technology which we export worldwide, am sure that we could work with UK/NATO to develop things further, if necessary.
Allowing for nuanced CSS selectors on each part of these components would get you 90% of the way toward resolving that tension.

> Ammonia is toxic, explosive, and corrosive

It also smells like rotten fish.
I'm more sensitive to noise than most -- AirPods Max are an incredible tool for me. Sometimes I just wear them without listening to anything to block out office noises, conversations, etc. Unavoidably, they get uncomfortable after a while, but it's on the order of hours.

This is starting to sound like a sales pitch, but if anyone like me is on the fence, they're really an incredible product that has improved the quality of my life, which I don't say lightly.
But the way those models work is to run everything once the function calls come in. Are you saying cursor is not using the model you selected on function calls responses?
Just a coincidence this occurred after the Justice department sold Google to sell off Chrome, right? I, for one, welcome W3C instead of big tech dictating web standards.

Software Development Life Cycle
According to a quick search, Viking Energy apparently will have a 220 cubic meter tank, which would equate to 220000 liters of ammonia. In aquaculture apparently ammonia reaches an almost universally high damage/lethal combination for fish (mammals can handle significant amounts thanks to a specific enzyme to handle build up the blood, fish have to just excrete it fast enough) and other non-mammals at around 2mg/L. Assuming all 220000 L of ammonia went 100% into the water and dissolved completely times 0.769 kg/m^3 density at STP, it'd be at the lethal level when dissolved in less than 84590000 liters of water, which equates to a cube approximately 44 meters per side or a sphere with a radius of 27 meters. Even with a 10x margin (since apparently some organisms can suffer damage even if not death from 0.2mg/L) that's nothing for an ocean going ship in general.

So at least at first glance to me that looks very favorable vs the bunker fuel ships normally use, which is also horribly toxic but also floats and is much harder for creatures to get rid of.
Something that has helped me a lot when dealing with noise or other distractions is present time meditation. Just sit there and focus on actively hearing and feeling everything, I would just do 5 min sessions but quite often. After practicing this for while I became less distracted and more comfortable wherever I was.
Communicating Sequential Processes (CSP) makes it a lot easier to reason about concurrency. It may be old (1978) but is foundational.
Yes, I'm aware of various rankings. Try all of those models on something that isn't commonly used on a benchmark, and you'll notice that a lot of the proprietary models have trouble actually producing statistically relevant results.

The only one that I've come across that makes me think LLMs will maybe be useful someday is Deepseek R1 and the redistillations based on it.

I've seen HN's fascination with OpenAI's products, and I can't understand why. Even O1 and O3, they're always too little too late, somebody else already is doing something better and throwing it into a HF repo. Must be the Silicon Valley RDF at work.
Petro is practically safe compared to ammonia. Petro only explodes in specific air-fuel situations. The vapors are harmful, but not deadly in small quantities like ammonia is. Calling petro "insanely dangerous" is wrong. Petro is the most dangerous substance normal people handle in quantity, but we allow normal people to handle it in quantity because it while it isn't safe it isn't all that dangerous.

Your standard household ammonia CONCENTRATE people sometimes use for cleaning is 99% water - you dilute it significantly for use. Even used correctly it is nasty stuff.
So you do in fact agree that the tool can only be trusted to do small chunks of basic action and can't be used to do anything heavy.
Show HN: A Stealth AI Window to Pass and Ace Any Technical Interview
I built a stealthy Electron app that remains invisible on screen shares, intercepts keystrokes, and generates or debugs LeetCode-style solutions in real time. It captures your screen context with global commands undetectable by most software, letting you quietly solve or debug coding challenges without switching tabs.

Next steps: add voice detection for interview Q&A, plus broader integrations for non-technical interviews.

At this point I have close to a decade of working with Azure and AWS/GCP and I can confidently say Azure is the worst when it comes to security, objectively.

Performance, "I don't like the portal", service and capacity availability, and such complaints are somewhat subjective or fixable but I deeply believe Microsoft is the most insecure of the cloud giants on a measurable level.

Anyone that is serious about security should just avoid Microsoft, this has honestly been the case since the early '00s at the least.
So what happened to him?
i live in a high COL area and rent is not high because of land costs. there are several empty lots that people want to build on but the discretionary review process for entitlements make it too easy to wreck the permit process (everybody knows this in the entire world; this is the YIMBY line which has truth to it). another factor is the cost per bedroom to build is very high, due to the cost of building in the market (labor, cost of goods, etc). so it's actually everything to do with the building/entitlements and nothing to do with land cost. at least where i live right now. proof: the college cancelled a massive housing project because it was gonna be too expensive per bedroom. this wasn't because of land costs but building costs.

aside, while i'm at it, let's take another swipe at free market and housing: the YIMBY line has truth about regulations preventing building, but if you look at build starts for like the 10 years after the 2008 crisis, you'll see a lack of buildings that happened during that time. they had record housing starts leading up to the crisis, and you know what also existed then? the same regulatory regime that we are now tearing down to help us build what we need. but after the crisis, the builders stopped building because they were fearful about the market. this suggests to me that "regulations prevent building, just let the free market take care of it," is too simplistic and ignores very real data. the market took care of it by not building.
More like "Oh i remember what you roughly want, i rememeber basic steps of reaching it just not details, lets generate the details" vs. "learning x steps from noise to image".

You make the way of reaching your target faster.

State involvement tends to come with strings attached. The EU would insist on the browser to implement mechanisms to 'limit the spread of mis-, dis- and malinformation' where it is up to the whims of the politicos in Brussels to decide what the populace is allowed to see and what is to be suppressed. To that I say a loud and clear 'thanks but no thanks', I prefer my technology to work for me instead of it being an enforcement mechanism for the powers that be.

I spent the last 3 months building IsItCap.com, a tool designed to help users quickly assess the credibility of news stories. It automatically analyzes articles for potential biases, flags questionable claims, and compares mainstream reporting with alternative perspectives.

What It Does

- Automated Fact-Checking: Paste in a URL or headline, and get a quick read on its likely veracity.
- Bias & Angle Detection: Highlights potential biases and hidden angles that might be influencing the narrative.
- Dual Perspectives: Shows both mainstream and alternative viewpoints to provide a more complete picture.

Why I Built It

Misinformation is spreading faster than ever, and even the best human fact-checkers can’t keep up. I built IsItCap to help cut through the noise and give people a tool to more quickly gauge what’s true. The tool works well, but now I’m hitting a wall when it comes to marketing and growth.
What I Need

I’m looking for honest feedback from this community:

- Product Feedback: Are there features you’d add or tweaks you’d suggest to improve the user experience or the accuracy of the analysis?
- Growth Strategies: What are some effective, low-cost ways to drive traction for a niche tool like this? I’m especially interested in your thoughts on reaching users who care about quality information without resorting to heavy self-promotion.
- Monetization Ideas: I want to keep it free and accessible, but I also need a sustainable model to continue development. Any creative ideas on this front?

I’d really appreciate any constructive feedback or ideas. You can check it out at IsItCap.com.

Thanks for taking a look, and I’m looking forward to your insights!

They have plenty - but the only place that they seem to regularly exercise their "2A rights" is in schools...
argh! PTSD - This was exactly what happened at my last start-up. Two of the engineering team and one from the R&D team started a platform team and it became a pre-PMF product with the slickest pipelines, DevOps, Cloud-cost optimization ready to scale to infinity. But with no customers, a broken front-end, and a under-funded R&D team as all the effort was put into the essential SaaS Platform. Truly put the company back 1 year while burning two.
This article aims to serve as a guide for developers interested in SwiftData, helping you understand its strengths and limitations so you can make informed decisions based on your project needs. Whether you’re considering adopting SwiftData in a new project or planning a migration from another persistence solution, the following content will provide valuable insights to support your decision-making process.
I do like the thrust of this article - it is the sort of principle-based reasoning that I can get behind. Like all principle-based reasoning; it is for the small number of people organising for change. Most humans (including most politicians and administrators) aren't principles-based and, indeed, are almost always in a state of causing problems by acting randomly based on short-term incentives.

The real issue in the EU is not that they don't understand the problems in outcome, but that in the US people can get rich by selling software products (particularly SAAS & advertising) and people in the EU cannot. Therefore, the US has a huge structural advantage because they control everything. We know they have the people - Torvalds and Sergey Brin spring to mind. Big European success stories, except for the fact that they aren't really European any more.
No the ammonia toxicity hazard is incredibly severe, it immediately burns your lungs and you die by choking on your own blood as your lungs dissolve. Whereas with natural gas leaks you can reduce the likelihood of ignition by intrinsically safe instrumentation and electrical components. In both cases, gas detection and automated shutdown and sectionalisation helps significantly.
Don't forget shorts.
I see that the fix also turns Apple Intelegence back on without asking.

Is that going to be opt-out on every OS patch from now on?
They really aren't taking no for an answer on that one.

I thought it smells like piss. Rotten eggs - hydrogen sulphide.
The first episode I ever saw was "Takeaway" (dad and kids are waiting 5 minutes outside the Chinese takeaway restaurant). It so perfectly hit on not only the actual experiences from my life but how it _felt_ in the moment that I think I laughed until I cried. Then immediately made my wife watch it.

The episode referenced in the article ("Whale Watching" about the parents being hungover) is another that, while not my favourite or anything, is certainly one of those experiences you probably have as a parent that nobody's really talking about or making media about. Bluey's managing to be entertaining and wholesome for kids while hitting on a mostly untapped niche of "relatable parenting experiences".

With how much "junk food" TV is out there, Bluey's a real gem. For kids and parents alike.
Motorola's low-end 911 phone system, Emergency CallWorks (ECW), is Asterisk with proprietary modules running on Linux under Proxmox. Granted, Motorola is killing the produce, but it's out there. The one I babysit is heavily firewalled but I'd imagine not all of them are.
I'm confused what you ascribe to as undefined behaviour. What does that mean in the Go context? There is no mention of what UB is in Go at https://go.dev/ref/spec .
These really large scatterplots are also useful for visualizing claims, and finding fraud.
> You would have to be naive to build a company on top of this kind of API.

You have to be purposefully naive to be a cutting-edge tech entrepreneur in the first place. If you fully acknowledged every risk and roadblock ahead, you’d probably never start.

But that deliberate naiveté is exactly what’s required to launch a startup in VUCA-space. Outsized success comes from exploiting emerging complexities: betting despite ambiguity, adapting quickly on top of uncertainty, and turning volatility into advantage.
I don't know how it works overseas, but it sounds like this is a plus for US companies hiring US employees. According to the laws the company is required to fully ID you before hiring, which means either:

1) Hopping on a video call and placing the passport or (driver's license + birth cert) in front of the camera.
2) Going to an in-person business that the company is friendly with to have their HR verify you.

Both of these usually involve sending a photo of the documents in addition to the in-person/video verification.

#1 is very popular, and in a legal grey area ever since COVID. More standardized/strict businesses (banking, university) will require #2. Either one of those options kills this outright (ignoring the other billion red flags they should have seen pre-interview).

Along with a background check, which even the crappy ones will verify using things like W2s, I don't really see this as a concern, unless you've got sketchy hiring practices and hire in countries you aren't familiar with.
> But at least you can easily smell an ammonia leak.

IIRC, they add a very nasty smelling chemical to LNG so that leaks are evident before they get explosive. In the case of ammonia, the additive is not really needed, and the toxicity being much higher makes me think that, by the time you realize you are breathing ammonia, it's already too late.
If you inhale natural gas it is only deadly (it can cause other problems that are treatable) when it displaces enough oxygen. In open air you are hopefully okay because there is still enough oxygen that you can breath. Ammonia is deadly when inhaled in small quantities. I wouldn't want either, but ammonia is worse if you must choose.

I'm not sure how likely fire is in case of a leak.
The project is at least four years old.
Bluey and Peppa Pig are so effective my children have started speaking with foreign accents D:

It’s deeply disappointing the US can’t come up with anything comparable. Sesame Street is a shadow of what it once was — the kids won’t sit down for it at all. Daniel Tiger tests slightly better, but christ is the tone patronizing.
There is a movie planned. And LEGO sets.
Deciding up front on the meeting frequency and type sounds more like how to run a department at a government agency.
I tried a couple of noise-cancelling headphones, but they all produce very audible (to me) noise, not anywhere near what I would consider “silence”.

Room acoustics is so complex that I doubt that a noise-cancelling force field is physically possible. ;)
Hopefully the user has the same freedoms to style things how they would like.
Whenever they say things like "harmful" or "unsafe" there is an implied "for our brand" that follows.

I hope you are being sarcastic.
Because people will stop buying products imported from those countries, and buy from their competitors instead.
