Show HN: I built a Figma plugin for quick data calculations
I lead design on a B2B SaaS product. It's quite data-heavy in places.

Using placeholder content in data tables, checkout summaries and dashboards is a big no-no for us. It might seem like using random numbers saves time at first, but sooner or later there's documentation to write and plenty of clarifications to be made.

It throws off customers during interviews – "hey, that's not really my sales target!".

It confuses stakeholders at review time– "what's this data point supposed to be?"

I built a Figma calculator plugin for my team so that they spend less time doing mental maths. It calculates sums, differences averages and percentages, and makes it easy to use real-looking data in designs.

When Israel was waiting for a retaliatory strike from Iran they jammed GPS in the region. I never found a clear explanation of how it was done technically, this would make total sense if their system also was targeting atomic clock signals rather than GPS itself to confuse incoming missiles or aircraft.

That does raise an interesting question though - do missles actually depend on the standard atomic clock signals? Maybe that isn't how they did it, that seems like a dependency you wouldn't want in a weapon.

Calling such posts grotesque and unpopular is quite euphemistic. They are aggressive and dehumanizing. And the determination on what should or shouldn't be protected as free speech doesn't happen in a vacuum: these attacks were targetted at a minority which is already regularly assaulted violently just for going about their day, because of violence-inciting shitposts like that. Of course you can't usually prove that post A led to violent crime B, but simply pretending like telling people over and over again that some group is criminal scum isn't going to lead to more violence against them also can't be the solution.

I also think that such laws almost have to be kind of vague by necessity, because the agitators will just try and be clever for plausible deniability. The idea is that a judge will rule on it, and the accused gets legal representation to defend their case. Of course you can always find some case where you may think the ruling was too harsh (or too lenient), but overall, the system seems to work pretty well. You really have to dig deep to find one or two iffy cases.
Slow map: Mapping Britain's intercity footpaths (2020)
I understand that but what's nagging at me is this: I think civilisation is about building dependence really.

Civilisation is organising in larger and larger groups - everyone becoming more dependent on each other and having laws and so on to resolve problems instead of fighting.

.....so somehow, for the sake of making Star Trek and all those wonderful science fiction stories possible.....we have to get that dependence back somehow. I'm joking but not joking. Some Americans are reasoable and somehow, for the world to survive, we have to find some way to help reasonable people all over the world to work together. So we can reach the science fiction future.

QEMU's abstractions were added when Fabrice was almost completely inactive already (starting in 2008 for some command line support).
Coming I hope, though I wouldn't have huge expectations.

He already did the general compute benchmark of the two 9070 cards here[1], and between poorly optimized drivers and GDDR6's lower memory bandwidth, I wouldn't expect any great scores.

In terms of memory bandwidth they're between a 4070 and a 4070 Ti SUPER, and given that LLMs are very memory-bandwidth constrained as I mentioned in another comment, at best you'd expect the LLM score to end up between the 4070 and the 4070 Ti SUPER.

Moving from a navy ship model to an air force plain model where the vehicles rarely undergo maintenance or repairs during operation is plausible, but salt tends to be bad, and over longer operations the errors are more likely to accumulate to a point of capability loss.
INS is still the primary navigation system on most airliners with GPS providing correction data for drifting.

There isn't a single type of cancer, and even within cancer types there is the potential for each and every cancer to be unique in a significant way.

That's why there hasn't been some magic cure - however huge progress has been made in the past 20 years and the last 5-10 in particular - though it's difficult to disentangle the effects of new treatments from earlier diagnosis - the bottom line for many cancers now the 5 year survival rate is > 90 %.

Note such indicators are lagging - ie you have to wait 5 years to see 5 year survival data etc.

I understand compiler optimizations having unintended consequences, e.g. https://godbolt.org/z/r39jK1ddv but there are a lot of options he may use to enable or disable optimizations (assuming GCC here): https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Optimize-Options.html

Understanding the GDPR is quite easy, but following it can be quite hard if you're intending to violate people's privacy. If you read the GDPR because you want to enable the full Google Analytics suite without users even knowing, the GDPR will read like an absolute nightmare.
On the other hand, the price has steadily risen far beyond any other investment over the past 15 years and there's a credible argument for why this would continue.

Thats not support local, that is buy higher quality - and while demagogues try to conflate these two - it is very rarely the case in my experience. In cases where it is - you do not need buy local movements at all - they should be the default.

Buying local is usually more expensive because of economies of scale and comparative advantages. And they are often less scrutinized because of smaller reach. Same thing with "organic" produce actually being more dangerous to eat than processed food in terms of poisoning/bacteria.
Interesting !

I have a bunch of older android phones that could be repurposed for some tinkering.

GPS signals are atomic clock signals. The receiver triangulates its position by comparing the time delays between the signals originating from different satellites. The receiver itself doesn't require a good clock since it only compares signals with each other.

> Driven by one person? The one that said they needed nukes and allies to defend themselves from their neighbour?

Canada doesn't have nukes and has long advocated for nuclear non-proliferation. We're still not looking to have any nukes of our own.

Trump is openly calling for the annexation of our country, and has started a trade war that no Canadian political leader of any stripe wants.

Seriously just put yourself in the shoes of a Canadian. We've supported the USA in everything they've done other than the Vietnam War, and history proved us correct in taking a pass on that one.

The USA called for Free Trade. We said OK.

The USA called for a North Atlantic Treaty Organization. We said OK and agreed to never have nukes of our own, taking the USA at its word that it would never violate our sovereignty. Now the so-called Leader of the Free World won't shut up about taking over our country.

The USA called for NAFTA, we said OK. Then Trump tore that up and forced a new trade deal on us. We said OK again. Then he said whoever negotiated that was an idiot who did harm to the USA, to which we still say, "Ok, that's weird, it was your deal, Donald. But let's talk."

And now we're in a trade war that no one wants on our side of the border, and that a vast majority of Americans don't want either.

So yes, driven by one person: Trump.

As for the "new world order" comments, Freeland isn't talking about some conspiracy. She's literally referencing that Trump has set aflame to the existing world order (that was largely engineered by the USA) thereby creating a "new" world order. It's a poor choice of words, but I hardly take this as sufficient evidence that Canada is the belligerent nation in this trade war.

I mean, seriously, what are you even trying to say?
> Does that make it a place for shady deals?

Where do you expect them to go then? It's the most logical place.

They aren't offering gambling services in Taiwan to Taiwanese people. Hence it's definitely a gray area.

VIA technologies? Too old, link likely wiped, but you can look the history. VIA technologies went into a JV with China in 2013 called Zhaoxin. Before that they literally never touched the x86 for years. There was no way for China to otherwise acquire an x86 license (this was before ARM would be a thing).

For reference you can compare it to how AMD handled a similar JV [0] and see stark differences. AMD went to long lengths to protect their IP and then stopped once they no longer needed to.

If we have to keep going, HTC also eventually suffered a similar but different fate. Funny that both companies have something to do with a certain someone...

> Remember, LLMs are just statistical sentence completion machines. So telling it what to respond with will increase the likelihood of that happening, even if there are other options that are viable.

Obviously. When I say "tuned" I don't mean adding stuff to a prompt. I mean tuning in the way models are also tuned to be more or less professional, tuned to defer certain tasks to other models (i.e. counting or math, something statistical models are almost unable to do) and so on.

I am almost certain that the chain of models we use on chatgpt.com are "tuned" to always give an answer, and not to answer with "I am just a model, I don't have information on this". Early models and early toolchains did this far more often, but today they are quite probably tuned to "always be of service".

"Quite probably" because I have no proof, other than that it will gladly hallucinate, invent urls and references, etc. And knowing that all the GPT competitors are battling for users, so their products quite certainly tuned to help in this battle - e.g. appear to be helpful and all-knowing, rather than factual correct and therefore often admittedly ignorant.
> I actually didn't think this would work at all without nvlink.

It will work, but with less memory bandwidth. If using hacked drivers with p2p enabled, it will depend on the PCIe topology. Otherwise, the data will take a longer path.

Depending on the model, it may not be that big of a hit in performance. Personally, I have seen higher perf on nvlinked GPUs and models that can fit on 2x 3090 24gbs.

This is not a generally true statement, particularly with anything involving UI. WPF or anything modern WinForms are not supported. MAUI has no official Linux support.
They are as aggressive as they can be.

Here's an example of a C compiler completely eliminating a loop because it has figure out how to transform the loop into a constant calculation.

https://godbolt.org/z/cfndqMj4j

The place where C compilers are conservative is when dealing with arrays and pointers. That's because it's impossible for C to know if a pointer is to an element of an array or something completely different. Pointer math further complicates what a pointer could actually reference.
Nah, 2d space is finite. If you flood an “island” (desirable location) with demand then prices can only go up. We are building skyscrapers in manhattan for over a century so what? Rent is still $5k and $1000 per sq ft to buy.

The title is clickbait. It implies hacking the plane's hardware, which is not occurring.

GPS jamming is unfortunate, but relying on U.S. GPS is foolish anyway (as the article also points out).

Planes still have inertial navigation systems. It worked before GPS, why not now? GPS for tracking phone users should go away anyway. If you are in an unknown city, but a damn paper map. No tracking and you absorb the big picture much faster.

Was it the strait 3 speed or the 4 speed with a "granny gear" aka the stump pulling L - Low range? 4 speed should be the Muncie SM465 which I had in a GMC 6000.
I recently came across MoodyFlicks on Product Hunt—a free tool that curates movie recommendations tailored to your current mood. Built by Devdavix and launched just yesterday (March 9, 2025), it aims to simplify movie nights by matching films to how you're feeling at the moment.

What caught my attention is its fresh take on recommendation engines, focusing on the emotional context rather than generic genres or ratings. I’m curious about the algorithm behind it and how it adapts to different moods over time.

If you’re interested in a more personalized movie pick, give it a try and share your thoughts!
For anybody who doesn't know, a "stabilized approach" is an approach with a constant angle and speed as the plane descends and lands. This allows the plane to keep consistent control settings (flaps, throttle, etc).

It's best practice/policy for all major airlines to use stabilized approaches and most/all require a go-around if the stabilized approach is interrupted (there are edge cases and exceptions).
Qwant is led by one of the most questionable CEO in France. Driven by pure ego and bad management. Instead of building one good product (search), they tried to compete with almost everyone, and especially with every Google products (qwant mail, qwant maps, qwant music, etc.)
So by your definition it should not exist, but it does and they donate non negligible amounts.

Money is imaginary and made out of thin air. It makes sense to divert at least some of it to innovation.
Accountability and transparency go hand in hand, though. Teams would be able to debug together much easier if stack traces were propagated across RPCs, and good RPC frameworks can do that. Unfortunately when (ab)using HTTP+JSON for RPCs, good cross-service debugging is one of the first casualities.
That's not the most important criticism of Tesla. R2R would be above and near the top. Maybe the failure to achieve significant marketshare vs. ICE, high cost, and/or specification (range) truthfulness would compete for that place too.
What AI tool did you use to convert the Midjourney raster images to SVGs? That’s a valuable operation and I’ve struggled to find good tools for it.
Sorry to hear that. I tried on my Firefox and it worked. Not sure what might cause that issue.
I’d agree here. I thought kubernetes was going to dominate the container compute space, but ECS and similar non-k8s solution took up way more steam than I expected. I wouldn’t be surprised if k8s still dominates market share, but you can go really far with other orchestration services.

ECS, while vendor locked and less extensible, is actually pretty solid to work with.
Planes have been flying for decades before GPS even existed, yet the article seems to make it sound like they wouldn't be able to without GPS. Unfortunately no mention of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inertial_navigation_system at all.

Surely in the case of Leonardo da Vinci, the “standard practice” in English is to say “da Vinci” or “ Leonardo da Vinci”, not _just_ “Leonardo”. Leonardo could be anyone for all I know
> You just copy data over PCIe

AFAIK this only happens directly over PCIe if using hacked drivers with p2p enabled (I think tinygrad/tinybox provided these drivers initially.)

Otherwise, data goes through system bus/CPU first. `nvidia-smi topo -m` will show how the GPUs are connected.

It's a very different supply chain. You don't just chuck a rooster in with your layers because then you have to inspect all your eggs.

New layers are bred away from the main flocks in relatively tiny volumes, under 1% of layers' eggs. Culls may drive a need for more layers to be raised, increasing that percentage but the cycle rate for these hens in intensive farms is pretty regular already (<18 months) so I doubt they'd invest in the additional hatchery facilities for a temporary population lull.
I also wonder how much of that was his working relationship with Shotwell. Nationally it looks like he doesn’t have anyone he trusts who can tell him when he’s making a mistake or redirect him towards a more useful use of his time. I’d believe that much of the credit for SpaceX is really a team of people he met early enough that there’s no way to replicate that relationship.

It’s a different context but I’m reminded of how George Lucas’ work got a lot worse after his divorce from Marcia Lucas, who was not only a very talented film editor in her own right but also apparently unique for having the ability to get him to actually listen to constructive criticism.

One of the things about Tim Cook, that people don’t really talk about (which, IMO, is appropriate), is that he’s openly gay.

Most times, this doesn’t mean anything, but there’s very few demographics that understand the need for privacy and data protection, better than gay folks.

I used to think this, too. His recent ring-kissing antics have changed my mind. He, too, can be bought for a price.

You don't write a check for a million dollars to a person who is actively trying to decimate the gay community and still get to wear the rainbow flag.
It's crushing Hong Kong was handed over, as they had about the free-est import/export burdens and regulations in the world.
