I just don’t buy these unsubstantiated claims. If you can’t find evidence why do you believe it?

Why does it matter if people trust politicians who were actors more than politicians who weren’t actors? They’re all still politicians when they run.

You’re promoting an extremely negative, defeatist, unsubstantiated opinion and frankly it’s depressing.
> A. Incidence of most cancers increases with age in a very uniform way.

Cancer is caused by random(ish) mutations creating cellular variants that have uncontrolled growth - typically you need multiple mutations. It's related to age mostly because you accumulate mutations over time - it's a game of chance.
So the underlying cause is the same - mutations - however there are lots and lots of different ways to mutate a cell into a dangerous state ( that's not to say there are not common mutations found across lots of cancers in key regulatory targets ).

> Different species effects

I don't think this is well understood, but some of that is to do differentials in effective DNA repair or detection of cancer cells by the immune system ( you body can detect and kill cancer cells as if they were foreign invaders ).
The other thing is perhaps less exposure to mutation causing agents ( humans are probablyt exposured to lots of mutagenic things at a low level we don't really know about yet - scandals of the future ) - and birds not getting cancer is probably mostly they don't live long enough.

And finally if your cancer get's to a later stage - typically it just hasn't picked up mutations to grow faster it's probably picked up mutations allow it to evolve faster ( ie a higher mutation rate ) - they means a single cancer that started from a single cell can evolve into a tree of related cells with different sets of mutations. ) And it's those different mutations that allow cells to survive in parts of the body they weren't originally from ).

In terms of treatment of cancer you need to try and target a difference between normal and cancer cells - so you tend to go after those differences driven by the mutations - often making the treatments sub-type specific. ie this particular cancer is different from normal in this way - so we target that difference, others might be different in another.

There are some treatments that are more generic - chemo basically targets fast growing cells ( for whatever underlying reasons ) - however these don't differentiate between normal fast growing cells and cancer so they have quite nasty side effects.
This comment section is a fascinating mix of people who use WebUSB talking about how great it is and people who don’t use WebUSB being confused about why anyone would want it.

In my experience it’s been great. Most of the WebUSB utilities I use are also available as self-installed apps, but I use them so infrequently that it’s much easier to use the web version than to go through the process of installing an update and using the app. It’s also one less app I have to install.

I would have expected this to be popular with the people who are tired of having an app for every different thing.
Based on the animation, I personally don't expect this to be very helpful. The main way diffusion models help is preventing answers like "No. [proceeds to explain why the answer is yes]", and since the blocks are so small, the LLM can't fully explain before it has to say yes or no.
Massive capital has the same effect.

The Tyranny of Work or Why Are We Still Measured by Our Productivity?
This is the first time I heard about anyone buying into any sort of "idealism" of Facebook. Isn't Zuckerberg famous for calling Facebook users "dumb f***s" back in the early days for willingly handing over all sorts of information?

https://www.theregister.com/2010/05/14/facebook_trust_dumb/
The fact that call depth is finite should basically kill the use of recursion in every codebase in favor of an explicit stack data structure. They're better in every way except as a way to confuse new CS students by hiding the very much lack of magic that underpins them.

You don't have stack frame overhead, you can nest arbitrarily, they'll always be more performant. You can peek into the stack to do things recursive functions can't. The optimizer is better at helping you with loops, memoization just becomes a normal cash of intermediate results.

Ever wondered which LLM-powered OCR tool reigns supreme for PDF-to-text conversion? I put three top contenders to the test in a head-to-head battle:

-Mistral OCR – A budget-friendly newcomer boasting lightning-fast markdown conversion.

-olmOCR – Allen Institute’s open-source challenger with tons of customization.

-Enhanced Gemini 2.0 Flash – Google’s powerhouse.

I threw them at some of the toughest PDFs I could find, including:

-Complex two-column layouts

-Low-quality, faded scans

-Brutal tables

-Math equations that would make Einstein sweat
>It chose the terminal landing sites with the help of LIDAR and its cameras, but it relied on RADAR and a suite of sensors to have robust navigation.

I think this is the smoking gun. RADAR is usually successful, while LIDAR has a poor record.
Seems prophetic in the age of X and other platforms that have eaten progressive activism in the current age. On the other hand, that's what it means to be an early adopter.

One answer to the "eternal September" is to accept that platforms burn out and scenes die. Bluesky is good now but it will need to turn a profit some day but there will be something else then.
That is not remotely what the philosophy is about. It's about not letting your external circumstances trouble your internal emotions, because they aren't what truly matters. It isn't passive acceptance - Stoics can, and should, try to improve the world around them. They just don't attach their happiness to whether those attempts succeed or fail.

As to why someone would follow the philosophy, it's simple: we all face stressful situations in life (some more stressful than others of course). Why should you let those things rule your emotions? It doesn't help anything to get upset. It just makes you feel worse. It is a pure negative thing in your life. So, you work to try to gain mastery over those feelings so that even when life is hard you can face it more effectively and with greater peace of mind.
You're never going to be able change Reddit and it's arbitrary actions, you can only move the discourse elsewhere.
Looking at YouTube Unity tutorials, it looks like you could just straight up make your own Pac-Man in a few hours with the benefit that you could actually control and understand what the fuck is going on at each step of the way. It would also probably be a comparable but slightly higher amount of time in SDL, Raylib, PyGame, or other game-related libraries that don't provide as much hand-holding.

This reminds me of the fad of creating Twitter/Reddit/Hacker News clones in 15 minutes in some new web framework back in the 2000s/2010s. And of course none of the 15 minute Twitter clones actually have the hybrid fan-out architecture that Twitter wrote after a few years so that it wouldn't failwhale all the time. I'd love to see someone vibe code their way through that.

What I don't understand is that the same people who embrace long hours, grinding, and having secret founder DNA sauce also want to completely take their hands off the wheel and vibe code their way to financial freedom.

Note that just turning on Copilot/some other assistant and having it do code suggestions is fine in the sense of surrendering far less control over architecture and correctness and is something I do at work to cut down on boilerplate. So I think there is a spectrum from micro-AI assistance to macro-AI vibe coding. For instance, you could ask the chat bot to help you implement specific parts of the app, like using Djikstra's algorithm for pathfinding for the AI, without just asking it to make the entire app.
Fascinating read and I’ve no sympathy for a scene that eats itself based on its own “copyright does not exist” mantra. No wonder Timbaland ripped them off. Good to get a lesson in the community.
I don't see how the fact that his most famous work is his diary makes Marcus Aurelius not a philosopher. Is there some magic credential you need to be a philosopher? As far as I can tell, philosophers come from all over the place; slaves, clergy, clerks, etc. Since there wasn't an institution to get his philosophy degree in, I think we can give him a pass?

With regard to the other criticism that there are rough bits in his not-intended-to-be-published diary and not all of it holds up.. so what? You've never said something bitter and resentful in private that you wouldn't want broadcast to the world? If you have a diary, do you think it'd stand intense scrutiny 2000 years later? Being a stoic means embracing your imperfections, so, the fact that Marcus Aurelius was an imperfect man tells us nothing about stoicism.

FWIW Marcus Aurelius is considered one of the greatest (maybe the greatest?) Roman Emperors ever, and he was plucked from relative obscurity, so, while you can certainly criticize the institution you're picking on someone that navigated that level of power better than his peers.
Is it a bit ironic that the author, a stoic herself, seems bothered by rich people using stoicism to advance themselves?

Marcus Aurelius was the last of the Five Good Emperors because he did not adopt a competent, non-biological son to take his place like the previous four. Instead, he set up Commodus as Caesar and his heir, despite his mental instability. That decision alone calls into question his Stoic resolve.
My theory is they want more than they pay for. They want to pay you the salary for Level X while you work hard to get to Level X+1
I see nothing in Stoicism that has anything to do with gender (or sex) whatsoever.

The fact that a particular demographic in the 21st century has declared some affinity for it doesn't change that in any way.

YCs success has nothing to do with just YC (not to take credit away) but rather from the fact that the US is a large unified well-regulated market. EU has sensible rules sure but the market isnt unified and the individual countries dont have big enough markets to sustain large numbers of software companies. YC itself is honestly quite open with their knowledge but its just that EU in itself is a pretty terrible place to run a business. Lots if regulation, some good ones.

Quick summary.

Firefox does not support talking to arbitrary USB devices (whereas Chrome has WebUSB to do that). However, Firefox does support talking to U2F security keys over USB.

This project programmed a microcontroller to pretend to be a U2F security key. The goal was to talk to the microcontroller over USB through Firefox.

They use the Javascript Credentials APIs (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Credential_...) and some cleverness to send data to and receive responses from the microcontroller.
As the author suggests, all kinds of domain experts are going to be freed to use a computer to solve their own problems, without having to first communicate them to a developer or team.

Plus, everything needed to deploy it and monetize has been turned into APIs which the LLMs know, so this can be added too.

Can’t wait to see what this new era gives us!
I agree. But you'll note one of my professed virtues is conflict, so I'm "participating in the world" by expressing a social emotion (contempt) towards a value system I disagree with in order to change the social environment. This makes me a political animal.

This is why I express my view in this way. If I wanted to be a stoic, or nearly equivalently a contemporary academic, I'd present some anemic "balanced view" in which you've no idea what my attitude is.

But as I'm not a stoic, I take it to be important to communicate my attitude as an act of social participation in the creating-maintaining of social values. In other words, I think on HN my contempt towards stocism itself has value here, since it invites the person reflecting on stocism to be less automatically respectful of it.
That's probably the right advice, you don't have to be cautious, you can look for work while in H-4 status (or while an applicant for H-4 status). The issue is this: if you find a new H-1B employer before your H-4 change of status application has been approved, while the new H-1B employer can file an H-1B petition for you, upon approval you likely will have to depart the U.S. and reenter with a new visa (if your previous H-1B visa has expired) or reenter with your previous still-valid visa and new H-1B approval notice. The point is this: USCIS likely will consider you ineligible for a change of status to H-1B when your underlying status is not H-4 but an applicant for H-4 status.
That's a chemical manufacturing corporation lobbying group you're quoting on the risks of one of their products, not the American Chemical Society.

The American Chemical Council (previously named the Chemical Manufacturers' Association) have a section on their Wikipedia page accusing them of pretending to self regulate the industry by setting up green-washing programs that make progress slower than sites not affiliated with the program.

So without any further knowledge, I'd go with the journalists on this one.
Are you an LLM? Because you seem to have advanced an argument that you just called silly.

Doesn’t sound good. If at all.
In my personal life, work and home, I am surrounded by people who are constantly in a state of distress, ranging from frustration to simmering rage, about things which are completely beyond their ability to change. I never see it do them any good, nor cause any constructive change for society. My personal understanding of stoicism is focus on changing the things I can change, and not spend my time being miserable about things I'm powerless to change. This gives me peace. My younger brothers spend all day ranting about the state of society, one from the right and the other from the left, and it has never done either of them any good. They have twice as much gray hair than me despite being years younger.

Then I go on the internet and read commentary like yours, making stoicism out to be some sort of rich conspiracy against the eternal revolution or something. I find this baffling. Of all the things to get yourself worked up about, people choosing a stoic mindset is definitely up there in fruitlessness. Nothing you can tell me would ever convince me to adopt the methods of my brothers, so what is the point of what you're doing?

(I confess I've never read any Marcus Aurelius, it seems like it would be very dry. Maybe I'm wrong, but my reading list is already very long and philosophy all gets bumped far down the list.)
This will be really interesting to follow. Especially with respect to Tesla’s love of pushing updates to clients.

Ask HN: What SDK/Version manager do you use?
What's your preferred setup for isolating SDKs and dependencies across different projects (Go, Python, Node, etc.) on macOS without using containers? I'm struggling with global pollution (e.g., GOPATH, site-packages) and want a project-local approach that plays nicely with JetBrains IDEs. What tools/techniques do you find most effective: asdf, mise, direnv, language-specific managers (nvm, pyenv), or something else entirely? What are the trade-offs?
I don't know where you're getting that. I opened the link with a heart full of skepticism, ready to scoff at some hideous, inhumane modern weirdness, but found instead pleasant environments, reasonable choices, and graceful use of practical materials. I doubt I'll ever go to China, but if I did, I can imagine enjoying a visit to some of those places.

This is a good summary of the AI app generation experience. They’re very good at producing something as long as it overlaps with what you can find in a lot of public blogs and tutorials. Pac-Man is a common intro game so there’s a lot of source material to train on.

But once you get past the initial wow factor it’s hard to move forward with the refinement. Recently I tried to use multiple LLM tools to implement a solution to a problem that I had solved before. I spent hours prompting and reprompting trying to tell it exactly what to do, but every time I’d pin down one fix it would break something else by gravitating back to a different solution that didn’t work. Finally I re-read the tutorial in the library’s documentation and realized that it was just pulling my code back toward the documentation example at every opportunity. My attempts to deviate and implement something more complex kept breaking it.
Precisely this. I've not even used WebUSB, but while reading this post, I was reminded of similar pain points with Firefox. I found myself thinking of what browser I could switch to while reading comments before finding this thread. I'm a long-time die-hard Firefox user as well.

I've been waiting years and years for service worker module support, and I am sure there are plenty of other things that are important and not being done so that's just one example

After spending some time vibe coding, I think this article is pretty accurate in that it aligns with a) how poor AI agents work in practice and b) the fact that non-coders are expecting magic from AI (which to be fair is what the AI companies are promising with all of their hype).

Where I have found vibe coding as an approach really shine is if I need to write some sort of quick utility to get a task done. Something that might take an hour or more to slap together to solve some menial task that I need to do on a bunch of files. Here I can definitely throw it together quicker than manually and don't care if it is messy code.

Larger, more complicated apps that are meant for production are painful to try to get AI tools to build. Spend so much time prompting the AI to get the task done without breaking something else that I doubt I'm any faster than just hand coding it alongside a co-pilot

Because war broke out. When there are no wars, everyone is against war tech. You could see it 5-6 years to 2-3 years ago people on here were loud about the fact that there should be no military. When wars exist, suddenly those same people are applying to Raytheon.

The reason to have a very strong military is because evil people exist. You can't let them win, so you have to be able to crush them if necessary. Often too, it means war won't even start if you have a strong stance.

In my experience, the person you're describing is hardly ever the one perceived as having "5-10x business impact". Specifically, "making life easier for the next person who touches it" is unproductive use of company time.

I don't know about that region, or whether they were trying to create a breakfast that would sound classy but credible to a Westerner.

However, I can say from first hand experience that home cooked Russian breakfasts in Vladivostok were mind bending. As an American, when I eat breakfast but it's a small and simple affair. A cup of oatmeal and some coffee, maybe eggs if I feel ambitious.

The Russians I stayed with made hela breakfast every morning. Like a huge potluck dinner made from recognizable ingredients in very unexpected combinations. While I'm sure they were spoiling me a little because I was a guest, it was always the biggest meal of the day. One memorable example was buttered noodles and meatballs, bread, butter, cheese, cucumber slices, coffee and tea with condensed sweetened milk, and even a little dark chocolate for desert. I'm probably forgetting more stuff.

Also the kids (10 and 8) drank coffee! I think they were mostly in it for the sweetened condensed milk though.

That was an awesome breakfast for sure.
