Bitcoin isn’t “censorship resistant” with its public ledger turning that into a data mining exercise, especially since it’s not widely used in the real economy so enforcement can be gated at the exchanges.
That's my experience as well.
A question about the Cybertruck's "5 star safety rating" from the NHTSA. I don't think many people have an issue with the Cybertruck keeping its occupants safe in a crash (or, at least, that's not the concern I've heard), it's about the potential dangers to pedestrians and other road users. I think the Cybertruck looks pretty massive, and I live in Texas where giant trucks are the norm. In the UK it must look like a tank, relatively.

From what I can tell, it doesn't look like the NHTSA safety ratings take potential dangers to non-occupants into account. Am I correct in this understanding? If so, that seems like a giant mistake. In the US it feels cars and trucks have just gotten bigger and bigger, and one reason is that for any individual, a bigger car is safer. But when everyone drives giant vehicles, safety is much worse for everyone, because you just have overall much more kinetic energy zipping around the highways.
Linn? They used to make electronic drum kits and briefly dabbled in computer design. Byte Magazine (I think) had a cover story on them but as I recall it, their system was object oriented, not analog.
I don't touch Brave because of the crypto thing and founder's affiliations.
I need to remind here that the very notion of a cloud account didn't exist for literally decades in the past, and I don't recall anyone suing Microsoft about losing a password etc. The legal angle for such things is firmly covered by EULAs, anyway - I worked for Microsoft for 15 years, and I can assure you that the lawyers there are very adept at such things. And then, of course, Apple clearly doesn't have any legal issues despite only having local accounts on macOS even today. Nor are cloud accounts free of legal issues themselves, what with GDPR etc. In fact, I'm pretty sure that cloud accounts are more "legal heavy" on the whole.

I would believe that it was purely about costs if they simply removed the checkbox from the installer but still left the command line workaround - that is plenty sufficient to ensure that the user "understands that Microsoft has no responsibility", and generally to prevent the clueless from shooting themselves in the foot. But given that even such advanced techniques were removed shortly after they were discovered, I'm certain at this point that it is a concerted effort to drive all non-enterprise users towards cloud accounts. And given that Microsoft is heavily investing into ads, and generally has a Google envy for a very long time now, I think that it any product decision that clearly correlates with more ability to track users and collect their data is likely to be at least partially motivated by that, just as it is in case of Google.
Nothing if I was a tier 1 Russian spy. but Im not.

I love building product as soon as I stumble upon an interesting idea.

My idea was to come up with icebreakers based on person's profile. I built this tool: getdatahawk.ai without any customer calls

I have around 150 users, none paying & almost no daily active users. 2/150 people agreed to jump on customer call.

I am wondering if this is a big enough problem for people to care about or should I move on. How do I decide?
> Obviously some people took it seriously, or it wouldn't have ended up in court.

Wait, you actually think he was sued by people who took his statements seriously (aka fans)? The people taking it seriously were likely misconstruing rhetoric in a literal sense. This happens quite a bit. Sometimes the rhetoric is out of line, sometimes not. One could argue that his meaning is clearly understood by fans, like a big inside joke, and that the ridiculous claims are just another form of entertainment.

That said, if you watch Tucker now you'll see that he's much more serious than when he was on Fox News. I don't think applying the results from that case in any way to his independent journalism makes sense.
While Trump is clearly a vengeful person who holds grudges, I do believe if he sees a good deal in front of him, he'll set those feelings aside.

Whether or not pardoning SBF would be a good deal for him is another question, though.
Cool idea. iPhone would be great too! & Function calling tools.
"The OED claims that intuit as a verb has been in continuous use since the 1860s"

That's a fair source but I went to a pretty posh school in Oxfordshire! Oxford was about 90p return away by bus from Abingdon in the mid to late 1980s. I studied English to O (Ordinary) level (both language and literature) and bagged a pair of Bs.

I might also point out that I also attended schools in Devon, Manchester and multiple places in West Germany (UK Army brat).

Obviously, absence of evidence is not evidence of absence and I have only my own recollections to go by but I have never knowingly heard intuit as a verb. I have only ever seen it written by Americans (for a given value of America)!

I do like it and will fall in line forthwith!
Why do I have to restrict myself to interpreted languages only?
exactly... can confrim it's possible to live a normal fulfilling life after deleting Facebook, then twitter, then IG, then reddit as each transitioned from fun to ad/propaganda platforms. it's sad to see the addict brain justification "I literally can't delete it because $reason" become an immutable truth.
MCPs goal is to standardize the transfer of application context and tool definitions to a client (let’s ignore prompts for the moment). That’s the same goal as Hypertext. In HTML, context is <p>, <img/> etc. and “tools” are <form>, <a> and <button>s. Instead of separating the two (like in MCP) - it’s all included in the same document.

I’ve used MCP quite a bit but perhaps I’m misunderstanding something? Happy to hear why you think it’s “wacky”.
Couldn't screen readers apply unicode normalization based some heuristics, like seeing the continuous presence of those special bold/italic characters? To improve accuracy, it can even check if the normalized text resembles to some English words or phrases or not.

That’s not what this is. You are already using a DNS server; it’s just the one your ISP built.

Swapping your DNS server takes three seconds in your router interface.
"mostly written by LLMs... on Amazon" Do you mean in e-books, print books, or subscription based sites, or some/all of those? I think you only mean e-books, on Amazon. Then if people object to that, just avoid e-books on Amazon. Stay with human-curated.
I found it to be incorrect in all of the examples I tried

Are you sure it's not powered by an LLM inside?
Thanks, I was also wondering! I wonder what it would take (politically) to get Konsole to support this (kind of afraid to just file the bug and find out!)

It still wouldn't fit in 16 GB memory. Further there's too much swapping going on with MoE models to move expert layers to and from gpu without bottlenecks.
Ok, but if Google is not allowed to pay Apple for search referrals, how exactly will it be legal for Google to pay not-Google-Chrome for search referrals?

Chrome's non-iOS market share is probably larger than Safari's market share, so any monopoly considerations about Safari apply equally to Chrome.
They mentioned returning to physical buttons on the steering wheel as well. Past VW models (eg. Golf Mk7) have the cruise control button on the steering wheel. I read "five most important functions" as relative to those you would usually find on a centre console, not for overall driving.
You get nagged to do it by the most popular website in the world (google.com) if you're using something else, which might be part of the problem.
A lot of large companies do this, especially in the biopharma sector.
I wonder why they went that route. At this point in my career the first notation is ingrained in my head. The bottom looks like regex.
This is too funny!! Dale!
You can still wreak havoc with the account and routing numbers if you want to - it gets reversed when noticed which is why people still do it - sometimes it’s not noticed.
Yeah, not sure where that came from. The ANSI C standard was extensively documented in books and articles and specs at all levels of rigor starting from the mid-80's. No one has ever lacked for a reference for how function pointer declaration looks.

That said, C's function pointer declaration syntax is indeed awful. But really that's because ANSI took a very hardline "no incompatible changes" tact when adding prototypes to the language, which limited the ways they could express them. That decision is one of the reasons we're still writing C today. Any yahoo can come up with a new language, kids do it all the time. ANSI's job was to add features to the language in which Unix was already written.
I'm sorry a "golden dome" sounds like it going to be some sort of dirty act on an adult website .
Show HN: MCP Server for any CLI app with logs (Expo)
I built a small MCP server to allow Cursor to read logs from Expo. Theoretically, you could wrap any other program in it.
Keystrokes in Expo cli still work, logs are still visible in the console as before. Cursor just gets the ability to read logs, perform keystrokes, or enter commands.
Not really. Political polarization means constitutional amendments for anything remotely contentious are basically impossible.
"The iconic Cybertruck was finally launched in the U.S. in 2019"

The first deliveries were in late 2023 and 2019 was when the initial pre orders were available. I find the very first sentence in the article to be wrong or misleading.
just the usual dark web bullshit.

Rails adding SolidCache and SolidQueue (or Good Job) was what made me not even think of Redis anymore in the rails world.
The only large scale use of cryptocurrency is to evade laws and do things that actively harm society from killing people with drugs to scamming old people out of their money devastating their lives.

That's because crypto solves no large scale problem that anyone legitimate has. The only large scale problem it solves is how to facilitate crime.

Just look at how people are effectively bribing Trump through crypto. We should immediately legislate all of this out of existence just like we got rid of other scams back in the day (like how banks used to mint their own currency).
These jobs are far fewer, pay less, and are no more resilient to AI progress making this useless advice.
I think one answer comes by asking why the scammers love it because the answer that it’s easier and safer for them to transfer large amounts without getting caught. That’s also shows why there’s relatively little mainstream usage. If you’re comparing it to all of the other options people have, it’s unappealing – harder to use, slower, riskier, more volatile and expensive – but the scammers and ransomware gangs accept that because it’s still better than traditional money laundering.
Why to talk and waste time and space about an arsehole, a bully and a racist - among other?
You’re the only person I’ve ever heard express this opinion… ever. Fascinating.
Can we please put "ESP32" in the title somewhere, so many people are going to miss this headline because it's so generic clickbait sounding.
On the one hand you're positing that Chrome can just live on independently from Google. That 's what "anyone can fork" means to me. Forking is not just copying the code, but maintaining the project and keeping it relevant

On the other hand you worry that Chrome can't go on without Google, as it currently doesn't bring enough money and needs to be a market abuse tool to justify the costs.

In a very real way, I think if the situation is unsolvable letting Chrome die and be born again could be the only long term solution. It would be painful, but we're already bleeding.
And I get nagged by the operating system in multiple different ways (system dialogs, notifications, opening a new file type, ...) to switch back from Chrome.
I guess, my bet would be VR then (third time's the charm!), of the matrix/neuromancer/etc "get a brain implant, plug in and forget the outside world" kind, with a focus on people living in VR for sustained periods of time.

Technology-wise, we seem to be making steps of getting there, a large part of the population seem to be "living" in virtual worlds anyway (through their phones) - and my hunch is that if the world will become progressively nasty due to wars, pandemics, climate change and massive social inequality with no hope of change, there will be growing demand to just to be able to escape all of it and try a better life "somewhere else".

The companion technology might be neuromancer-style "surrogate bodies", where instead of "plugging into" a virtual world, you remote-control a robot in the real world. Want to stay in the real world, but retain the ability to choose whatever body you like? Want to have an insurance against a sudden case of rocket attacks? Want to keep it cool even with 50°C/80% humidity outside? No problem, just transfer your mind to a robot body of your choosing!
Your words made me picture a typical American tech worker:
1.Bashes China with zero facts or sources, parroting English journalists who can’t read Chinese or grasp its nuances.
2.Lacks historical knowledge and critical thinking, clinging to a Hollywood mindset—quick to label, slow to question.
3.Worships the CIA and FBI, swallowing their propaganda while ignoring the obvious: they’re the dark forces wrecking the world 24/7.
Fair. I was thinking only of the big players.

Waterfox was sold 5 years ago to an ad company [0], and the developer's response on that thread was... not ideal. From what I understand they separated from them a few years later, but the developer's response to complaints about the sale ("I’ve never tried to have it as a privacy product specifically ... all the outrage towards me for that has been, at least towards me, a little unfair.") don't lead to a lot of confidence even under a new business model.

And this is suggestive of the problem I see in general with the smaller players: their bus factor is too small and the number of people who have to be involved in a bad decision is too low. Switching to a small fork like these ones doesn't mean I can stop worrying about what my browser might do, it just changes the types of things I have to worry about. I still need layers of protection just like I do with Firefox or Chrome.

Unfortunately it's all too believable. Inmates don't elect the sheriff. And sadly, most (non-incarcerated) people are not all that concerned with inmate rights and the conditions in prisons. And some people even do believe that inmates deserve whatever bad things happen to them in the prison system.
It's a common misconception that tons of users manually install Chrome, but Google just pays PC makers to make Chrome the default browser.

Chrome is the only browser with a business model that makes sense to do this. Microsoft just doesn't make enough money from Bing/Edge to pay PC makers to leave Edge as the default. Firefox makes no money at all, and makes 95% of its revenue from Google's payments to be the default search engine. Safari isn't even available on Windows, and even then, 99% of Safari's revenue is from Google.

(Safari was available on Windows from 2007-2012, but it never captured much market share, because Apple was never willing to pay PC makers to make Safari the default.)

Here's StatCounter's estimates of desktop browser market share. The overwhelming majority of users are using their computer's default browser.

https://gs.statcounter.com/browser-market-share/desktop/worl...

Chrome: 65.55%
Edge: 13.9%
Safari: 8.69%
Firefox: 6.36%
Opera: 2.9%

FWIW, I don't think it makes any sense at all to sell off Chrome. Google could probably sell off YouTube, AdSense, and Google Cloud, but not Chrome.

The only viable business model for a web browser, the one that literally all major browsers use, is to accept money from a search engine (Google, specifically) to be make them the default. Even Kagi makes its own Orion web browser, for exactly this reason.

How could Chrome make its owner any money at all if Chrome couldn't accept money from Google to be the default search engine? How could Chrome possibly do what Firefox and Safari can't?
Humans can't drive safely in the fog. They can drive safely on a road travelled often even with low visibility by using visual hints they need to "scan" at lower speed. No car taking a cam approach for self-driving is doing that btw.
Hard disagree.

Their web-based offerings actually really suck beyond the point I could ever tolerate. Unusably bad.

There have been murmurs that they want to go that direction entirely.

I maintain my second brain in obsidian but I keep getting collaboration requests from my colleagues who use notion and google docs.

Overpromoting full-body MRI (to healthy, insured people with no symptoms of disease) by direct-marketing (e.g. to walk-by consumers in malls) has been a thing in the US for several decades, long before TikTok.

Ukraine can cross as many of Putin's "red lines" as they wish. Ukraine did not start this war.

This is the greatest example of simplistic planning.

Human drivers have two eyes and a brain evolved for storing visual hints.

And LIDAR is not that complicated, too. Just not the simplest thing, that would be rails and pantographs, whatever you would translate those to your vehicle.
The same way the tech industry currently does it. You spend all your profit on research, product development, marketing, etc. to increase your overall revenue when (in the short term) you could simply stop spending money on all those things and keep only enough engineers on-staff to keep your existing products stable and customers happy.

By comparison, a construction company cannot stop buying materials in order to continue generating revenue, and they cannot reduce their workforce significantly and continue taking on the same types of jobs.

In the instance of Bell Labs, those researchers were the 'unnecessary to business' route through which to increase revenue (by both increasing costs and also building a technology-based moat) and since those who control a company typically only profit by 'skimming the cream' increasing revenue without increasing profit seems like an excellent way to increase the value of the company to those who are interested in doing so.
I use SSE to send web users to another page (redirection header) while still processing other long running stuff for them. The result: non-blocking web access, users dont have to wait for all stuff processed to see a confirmation message e.g: a user signs up, you can show them their account has been created instantly while still creating relevant services (e.g: a virtual server) for their account.
It’s Miami (read: Spanish) for “word” or “cheers”
Did Chrome pay for the ad placement on Google’s sites? Could Mozilla or Microsoft buy the same spots? Could they pay YouTube to keep the site faster for them than standards-compliant browsers?

If the answer to any of those is no, it’s more than simple advertising.
That's the impression I got too.

However, thinking long term, are we going to continue to introduce pointers via C to new students? If not, then how? C++ or Zig seem viable options, so this might be a long term proposition.

I love all things analog other than my macbook.

Smart things drive me completely insane and I find peace with things that just work without a wifi connection or firmware of any kind.
I find this an oddly positive question. (As in, "Learn from your failures. Celebrate the bravery of your attempt.")

For me it's an hour-by-hour thing. "I'd hoped to get more done than I did. Maybe the next hour will be better..."
But it is written in tons of contracts and maybe the gov redefining "5pm" is better than rewriting all these contracts.
Analog lives in a few niches:

- As you note, signal conditioning to stuff things into an ADC

- Anywhere firmware is viewed as a liability (often medical or other hi-rel stuff)

- Existing proven designs (do not underestimate this sector!)

- Anywhere the cost of the signal conditioning circuitry might be comparable to the cost of just doing it outright in analog. This is mostly the low-cost realm, more rarely ultra-low-power, but sometimes you see it in other places too.

- Line power supplies happen to be all of the above, so you see plenty of analog there

You used to see analog in high-performance stuff (ultra-high-speed/RF or ultra-high-bit-depth), but this has mostly gone into either digital or whackadoodle exotica. Like frontends for those 100GHz oscilloscopes, which are both!
Funny story about testosterone enanthate dosing... so, I take it for body image/dysphoria reasons (to make myself more androgynous, basically) but I'm not a cisgender man. My body produces very little testosterone on its own.

The doctor started me on a "midrange" dose of enanthate: 75mg every 10 days. My levels shot up, at the very high end of the male range. I brought that down to 75mg every 2 weeks and it barely budged.

This is the exact same drug/formulation that a lot of these guys are taking for TRT. The highest "official" dose is 100mg every 7 days. (I'm sure some of them are taking even more than that, but that's as much as a doctor should be prescribing you.)

Obviously everyone metabolizes this stuff differently, and if you're tall/heavy you'll likely need a higher dose than someone of average stature like me. But if my T levels shot up from ~20 ng/dL* to ~900 on a very moderate dose of enanthate, how high are those levels getting for someone who's starting from ~500?

* The normal female range is anywhere from 15 to 70. The normal male range is anywhere from 200 to 1000.

This is not a real risk to using NextDNS.
