No need to satirize the GP. "Secondary" does not mean "irrelevant".

It is unfortunately true that just by growing to be 80, regardles of how clean you eat and drink and breathe, your chances of developing any cancer are higher than by being a young moderate smoker. Aging is the primary factor in oncology and the vast majority of cancer patients are elderly.

> Has cancer changed or has the environment?

Almost certainly the environment. But there is still something like twenty elderly cancer patients for one young.

But e.g. Hetzner, OVH and Ionos are so cheap, you can easily keep a project alive for years until it gets traction or break even. Paying like 50€ a month is peanuts.
There was a time when e-commerce was an enjoyable experience from a customer perspective. OK price for OK brands, no delivery issue, no need to contact the after-sales service and if there was a need for it they would do an OK job.
Now everything feels fake and dysfunctional, from the brand names, products and marketing that seem to have been created from thin air 2 days ago, to bad delivery service of refusal to refund after an issue. Some companies force you into subscriptions. Some companies let you sell you stuff to others and don't give you the money afterwards.

I stopped buying anything online. The only thing I pay for is the internet access itself. I'm not sure this hurts Google enough though.
Nice work !

The nice thing with neovim is that people got together to make Neovim distributions. I'd recommend starting with one and you will learn by tuning it to your preferences because if you have to get some work done, this will take a lot of your time imho.

I still use vanilla vim + ALE linter + ctags + makefiles for simple C/C++ projects but once you start to get into webdev with ten different syntaxes and tools, it gets hard to keep up.

But if you have the time and curiosity to explore of course, it's worth it
Your article says that Duke University is shutting down research because the government is cutting overhead allocation from 61% to 15%.
Trump is really showing the world that any kind of dependence on USA on any level is a liability. I wonder how long it will take for the US to rebuild the political goodwill he is burning.
I've tried out Claude Code a few times, and it seems to work fine, but not noticeably better than Cursor. And replacing my use of Cursor would add up to significantly more than $20/mo in Claude Code.

So why wouldn't I continue burning Cursor's VC money? LOL
...and it's a hunk of steel that must weigh a few tons and is built to withstand an extinction-level disaster. I mean, even for the '30s, it seemed a little bit excessive. I understand it had to be somewhat heavy for stability and all, but I suspect it could have been made more lightweight.
Kinda related, but I feel it would be useful for log entries to include file/lineno and/or some unique identifier. Helps both pinpointing where some weird message comes from, and for searching for specific entries in the logs.

Sure, you can grep the log message but it can be difficult if it has some templating/formatting going on, and it can be pretty easy to end up with non-unique messages.

I think projects with short names need suffixes in order to not be confused with others that most likely share the name, these make sense and tell you exactly what they are.
Hehe, nope it's a quote from Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_language_is_a_dialect_with_a...

(I speak Polish and German, and had a short period when I was learning Hebrew while doing some projects for the Jewish Museum in Krakow ((ages ago, in Macromedia Flash times)). That being said, I'm good at forgetting the languages I studied as soon as I stop using them, be it some weird dialect of Middle Persian or Haskell)

Immigrants to the US are mostly from the Americas, so Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Venezuela, etc. The US also has people fleeing war, such as Ukrainians.

The main difference is that they are easier to integrate. For instance, immigrants from the Americas speak a romance language, and if they speak Spanish, that's like a second language for the US. Most are also Christians, and yes, it matters because they don't uphold Sharia over local laws. Yes, the US is also getting drug dealers and such, but I bet that a vast majority are there to work and pay their taxes.

Europe has the problem that it took in many people from Africa and Asia, that are harder to integrate, and with many of them fleeing war. And the difficulty here is that people fleeing war have no intention to integrate or even to work for a living if they can get away with subsidies, many intending to return home as soon as possible. Europe also has the issue that it has never been a melting pot, smaller countries in Europe don't have a tradition of cultural diversity, they are unprepared to integrate that many people over a short period of time.

There was also a story recently about Russia apparently fuelling immigration from war zones into Europe, to destabilize the EU and its governments. They also funded “green” NGOs and politicians who succeeded in shutting down shale gas extraction and nuclear power plants, increasing the energy dependence on Russia. I'm guessing their hybrid war is a wild success.

Not to be misunderstood here, I am pro immigration. For example, Germany has been a powerhouse of Europe due in no small part to their generous immigration policies. The population is growing old, and we need people to support society. The “low skilled” classification is a canard. Countries require “low skilled” work as well, and note that unemployment is at an all-time low, US and EU included.

I'll also note that the UK ran xenophobic ads ranting against Poles, Romanians and Bulgarians, as a justification for Brexit. After Brexit, they wanted them back, especially during the pandemic, since “low skilled” Eastern Europeans started going to Germany and other EU countries instead. And immigration actually got worse for them after Brexit, which was ironic, but not unpredictable.

> We know there are constructs that would enable us to pay less, yet we choose to not pursue them.

Only because you don't want to put the effort in to pursuing it. If I told you you could reduce your tax bill by 20% by spinning round in your chair one time I doubt you (or anyone else) would decline.

Every entity generally seeks to take as much as they can and give back as little as they can. Individuals are generally a little less extreme, in my experience, with corporations being the worst.
I guess the argument is did they break X's ToS?

2600 Magazine says they didn't. They posted names and email addresses of DOGE employees.

My partner works for the government in a mid level management position. I'd be pissed if someone on X posted her name and email address in an article that borderline encouraged people to email her in a not so positive manner.

It seems that X deems names and email addresses to be personal info. I'm pretty sure this was in Twitters ToS pre-Musk as well.

Why does breaking X's ToS not warrant an account suspension? You can even sneeze loudly in some subreddits without falling afoul of inciting violence.

Perhaps this is a shift away from cancel culture? I don't see why that's a bad thing.

On AWS or Google Cloud or Firebase you pay $0 a month until you start paying thousands of dollars per month. This makes the brands ubiquitous and developers knowledgeable of the platform. It's like having free MS Office subscription for free when in school, so everyone who graduates ends up knowing the MS tools and it's not feasible to switch to competitor.
> If the story turns out like it did with Cliqz/Hubert Burda (the other big German publisher) it will mean reinterpreting privacy as keeping the American companies out of the loop but sharing the data with the German publisher is OK, because they are clearly the good guys and can be trusted to treat your data responsibly.

Your sentence seems to imply that Cliqz was collecting "[the] data" like American companies (which companies? Which data?). Can you clarify what you are referring to?

Rampant misinformation certainly makes it harder to figure things out, but I disagree that it somehow removes people's right to vote for what's best for them or making an educated vote. I don't find that kind of rhetoric helpful.

Politics is complicated, and most people are neither interested nor qualified to determine what's "best." Even the experts often do not know or agree on how to "fix" things that are broken, so how should the voters? Most just want to be able to afford the groceries.

Show HN: Tesseract Core – Autodiff-native, self-documenting software components
Tesseract Core is a command line app + Python SDK that lets scientists and engineers wrap complex scientific and machine learning code into containerized, self-documenting, differentiable functions—making them easier to use, compose, serve, share, and deploy.

Its main use case is to build end-to-end differentiable pipelines consisting of wildly different components like physical simulators, geometric operators like differentiable meshers / renderers, generic data transforms, and neural networks. Just installing these heterogeneous components can be a challenge for scientists who simply want to get things done—let alone integrating them into large-scale, optimization-driven workflows.

We’re deeply inspired by the way JAX primitives work to expose their functionality [1]. Tesseracts are taking this one step further by building on top of a modern Python stack with Pydantic at its core, used as a DSL to define schemas for expected inputs and outputs (+ some custom sugar to handle arrays and differentiability) [2]. One user-given schema informs all other endpoint schemas, i.e., simply by defining the schema for apply we also generate one for jacobian, vector_jacobian_product, abstract_eval, ..., via some Pydantic metaprogramming [3].

This allows R&D staff to provide minimal config and essentially auto-generate a Docker container wrapping their software in a way that’s ready for RPC (locally and over the network).

But your partner's government contact info (name and email) is already accessible, either via a government website or via FOIA. The issue here is that the DOGE employee info was not accessible before, and 2600 is being penalized for publishing it. Regardless of what they say in the article (provided it's not incitement to violence or something), the point is that the names and emails should have been public already.
The DeepSeek R1 distilled onto Llama and Qwen base models are also unfortunately called “DeepSeek” by some. Are you sure you’re looking at the right thing?

One for Matt Levine (of "everything is securities fraud" fame); is it securities fraud to suppress negative news about the CEO of a company you own shares in on a niche webform?
// to be propaganda unless proven otherwise //

How do I know if I'm even talking with a person, and not a propaganda bot, until proven otherwise?

Then again, you might think I'm a propaganda bot. Who would shill for China like that?

I don't really care whether or not you believe that China has raised hundreds of millions of people into the middle class. But if we have an extended trade war with China, Canada, Mexico -- our biggest trading partners -- there will be be millions of Americans who will fall out of the middle class into poverty.

This has been an experiment, and it does appear that people will use the tools more and more. Unfortunately we can't escape it - which I agree doesn't make it right.
Perhaps some kind of better licensing? The nature of these tools is that they exist and they have scraped all the "things". Maybe having your own private agent's is the way forward?

While some people here are citing 10% as "large" and 1% as "normal", there are optimizations like partial inlining of doubly recursive Fibonacci that can reduce the actual work (and so also time) exponentially (factors >10X for double-digit arguments or 1000s of %, technically exponential in the difference of the recursion depth, not the problem size [1]).

C compilers can also be very finicky about their code inlining metrics. So, whether that enormous speed-up is realized can be very sensitive to the shape of your code.

So, while part of the problem is definitely that CPUs have gotten quite fancy/complex, another aspect is that compilers "beyond -O0 or -O1" have also gotten fancy/complex.

The article here, while good & worth reading, is also but one of many examples of how two complex things interacting can lead to very surprising results (and this is true outside of computing). People have a rather strong tendency to oversimplify -- no matter how many times this lesson shows up.

EDIT: Also, the article at least uses two CPUs, Intel & Apple M1 and two compilers (gcc & clang), but there are realistic deployment scenarios across many more generations/impls of Intel, AMD, and ARM and probably other compilers, too. So, it only even samples a small part of the total complexity. Also, if you want to be more scientific, esp. for differences like "1.01X" then time measurements should really have error bars of some kind (either std.dev of the mean or maybe better for a case like this std.dev of the min[2]) and to minimize those measurement errors you probably want CPU core affinity scheduling in the OS.

Well, I am self-hosted, and hackers using clouds for hacks/scans (and the so-called "scanners-for-your-own-security-we-swear-we-don't-sell-the-scan-data-to-the-bad-ppl") are really a pain. OVH is not safe (and their scanner/hacking bot onyphe is a pain). But lately the "top" is ucloud.cn and everything hosted on digital ocean. Actually very few front IPs from russia or iran.

I wonder if there are EU clouds doing that properly, namely with its own internal "security" cleanup crew and getting rid of those hackers and scanners.

Nice, and this doesn't even include non-EU offerings like Switzerland's Exoscale, Proton, etc.
Whats weird is how expensive this can be - i.e. to do it in Go requires invoking runtime reflection, whereas technically the compiler should be able to update the final numbers into the messages at build time.
This is such a shame, we should be looking to source and produce things globally and find better ways to improve the logistics and efficiency world-wide. Why would the EU take such a protective stance which only enforces isolation and increases cost?

Might be a strawman, but it seems this kind of person reverses the order of time.

People worrying about free speech before (and now in the UK) are ignored, called hysterical etc ... yet the minute someone is worried about Orange Man it's legitimate worry and you are hypocritical if you feel schadenfreude a bit.

Denialism is a real poison. Sided worryists/denialists are the real problem.

I'm not sure how to call them out without engaging in the same games they play themselves.

There are groups doing great work though, like the FSU in the UK.
The tricky thing about these services is that they often cannot compete on price or on capability. The scale and mature feature sets of US based cloud providers outweigh the benefits of keeping it within European ownership for most commercial organizations. For Europe to truly compete, they shouldn't copy IaaS models, but come up with new innovative PaaS models in yet to develop markets, such as XR or internet-decentralization. Those markets provide a chance to go in front at an early stage and with enough dedication of both the EU government and the European business community, this can be a start to differentiate itself from the US and China.

There was even an era before dumb phones :) Some people burried their heads in newspaper or books, some looked and watched the world go by. I still do it, phone is really last resort since I strongly believe its slowly making me more addicted to it (more like my brain is doing it on its own).
