Warning, very broadly generalizing now, but here goes...

> I have noticed that a lot of people don't bother to consider the proper spelling of words but rather they just spell a word however it sounds to them.

This is my "spot the native English speaker" trick. Some native speakers consistently type "your" no matter if they mean "your" or "you're", and either "their" or "there" whenever they should have used one of "their", "there" or "they're".

My experience is that people who have learned English as a second language don't make this particular mistake as much - although we make tons of other mistakes, of course!

My guess is that the cause of this is that native speakers learn the language mostly by listening, long before they learn to read and write. Consequently, to them a word is primarily defined by its pronunciation. Its spelling is a secondary property that's attached years later.

For second language speakers, a word's spelling is usually something they're exposed to immediately when they learn the word - in many cases even before they learn how it's pronounced. To them, the spelling is what primarily defines a word.

It's a bit frustrating. I tend to get confused when "your" is used in place of "you're", and I usually have to reread the sentence once before I decipher the meaning.
As trying to have a constructive discussion around this I wrote a preface for crypto skeptics here [1]. I understand the arguments against blockchains, and the reality is showing an universe of memecoins, hacks, scams, etc. I think returning to the base concept of smart contracts is useful.

Plenty of people have quit twitter, others are victims of their own social media addiction but are at least simply using a free service rather than paying 30k+. Most probably haven't launched a satellite in recent months but could be looking at alternatives.

This article... keeps repeating phrases about criminals, authorities, safe-houses, solving crimes. Feels off. I was expecting this to focus on the lab techniques, feasibility, technical details. It jumps straight from forensic application details to results without the in-between. I think the in-between is the interesting part.

It's as if they took the token sentence that goes in an abstract about potential applications, and turned it into the meat of the article.

It sounds like they are using standard extraction kits, them analyzing with RT-PCR.
Ultimately they are buying the shares of all existing shareholders. Wiz tells Google who the shareholders are after all triggers of options to shares are resolved. Then Google wires each shareholder after the signatures are complete. No money should go into Wiz bank account. 10-25% of the cash is held back to make sure the company and key employees fulfill promises made as part of the transaction.
YMMV as always but I get the same exact answers between Kagi's Quick Answer and ChatGPT Search, this includes sources.
I wouldn't be surprised that some some agencies *cough*Mosad*cough* are gathering DNA of leaders of all countries, and analyzing them, and potentially building bioweapons to target them. It looks like all you need to do is to get the HEPA filter from the room where the target was .

What people do realize is that most of this is wrong.
I imagine Wiz was smart enough to include a big payout if the acquisition doesn't go through. There is a ton of attention on Google by both political parties in the US and the EU is not a fan either.
This is exactly why I gave up a position as a full stack / devops engineer in favor of going back to low level drivers - there were too many unknowns, and far too many unknown unknowns often paired with expectations of prompt (and cheap) solutions to complicated issues.

Technically it was interesting and challenging, but in terms of stress just not worth it. You could pay me twice my current salary and I still would not go back to it. Now I try to place myself as far away from paying customers as technically possible.
We just need tokenized t-bills on chain...That will change everything.
Then you misread my post. I'm not implying be completely apolitical, just that I don't understand the expectation now that everyone has to know and choose a side and be connected to every single tiny issue there is.

Its completely astounding that we're now all expected to know and choose a side about every single thing, and if we don't know about it or for a given issue we either don't have enough information to choose a side or are unaware then we're complicit.

Exactly how have I harmed someone through owning a Tesla since before Elon's political stunts. And do we really expect everyone who owns one, including people who financed and would almost guaranteed take a loss and screw up their financial wellbeing for potentially years to sell it at the cost of their families financial health?
This seems like a tautology, by definition most people are not so unique that they can’t be replaced in a large enough organization.

This was different in the past because back then academia was vastly smaller, so practically everyone from post—doc on up was a literal genius, or close to it. And thus much harder to replace.
This seems like a silly and ridiculous acquisition. Surely for $32 billion almost any security technology could be replicated? You could hire several thousand best in class engineers and build whatever Wiz has in house… buying this almost makes it seem like Google has no idea how to build new innovative products, which I guess a lot of people already think.

For Instagram and WhatsApp it was the user base and growth that was being bought, which is much harder to acquire than some random B2B saas security software.

I agree it's heavily accent dependent and I suspect the original compiler wasn't that aware of non-mainstream US accents.

It's interesting that many of these are only the same (initially at least) if you've been sloppy/ignorant in your pronunciation and then those become baked in ways of saying something.

We're due to get a lot more of these given how often you hear influencers guessing at what to me seem fairly mainstream pronunciations!

These are often a way that TTS systems slip up most obviously. A lockdown project I tinkered with several years back was a small (traditional) LM that had been fed with tagged examples and could thus predict fairly well the best sense for a particular case. It made a huge difference to perceived quality. Now of course, many TTS cope with this fairly well but you still hear the off slip up!

> I still don't care. I may just buy another Tesla and a handgun :)

That kind of escalation is very American of you.

I'd like to remind you of the demonstration of the "bulletproof" windows of the Cybertruck and consider quite how bad things may get if Americans don't learn to live with each other without constantly laughing about "triggering" each other when the more literal trigger is on the firearms you have a constitutional right to own.

That so many are, like yourself, so blasé about the risks, was one reason I decided against migrating to the USA when I had the chance.
The developers of a serious academic tool may not have wanted their image to be "harmless fun," especially of a sort that can reasonably offend people and make it hard to talk about in formal settings.

yikes that's dismal, I wonder what a 5070 gets
Come on, it's pretty obvious that Tesla is the easiest company to target because they have a lot of real-world products and locations. Any regular person could go to a protest at a Tesla dealership. If someone wanted to boycott SpaceX there's not much they could do.

The same people that hate Elon have probably already moved to alternative social media platforms, but that's not as impactful and it doesn't get as much attention as the car protests. Since Twitter isn't an open data platform and they don't allow third party research, it's hard to figure out real world usage patterns.
Well they aren't in Canada for me yet, but that's probably because we aren't the public that needs to know.
Yeah, does WIZ just have a pile of 0 days that they are sitting on? Or a bunch of data stolen from various cloud providers. This is an extremely weird and suspicious acquisition imo.
They argument does not depend in the slightest on the equality of crime rates, its depends on the their similarity. The data linked show quite similar rates of reported use for cannabis. You can make all sorts of valid counterarguments at this point.

The patents they received from Motorola effectively put an end to Apple's Android witch hunt.

Prior to this acquisition, Apple was determined to sue Android out of existence. They were on a rage-fueled mission to end a product they viewed as a copycat, and they knew Google didn't hold any patents to defend themselves.

When Google acquired Motorola's patents, the tables turned and it was Google that could end Apple or at least turn it into mutually assured destruction.

Those patents alone were worth a hundred billion for the headache they saved Google and the market position they opened up.

This was one of Google's smartest moves of all time.

Interestingly, the author notes:

> Personally, I believe that smart contracts will find their niche. That’s why I am working in the field already. However, this is my personal belief, which has not been neither confirmed nor refuted yet.

Which I would posit has become more true ~6 years later. I work in the industry and have seen far more money going towards this than any other area.

I wonder how many people browse the Internet with an ad blocker while simultaneously calling for paywalled news content to be free?

It's quite the entitlement to say that organizations should forgo revenue when, if people actually cared, they could easily replace 1 of 10 streaming subscriptions with a newspaper/journalism subscription.

This article is backed with no data beyond just shaming organizations for not fulfilling what freedom.press defines as "civic duty".
SecurityManager followed Applets.

Why is it a blocker? What is your use case?
I'm surprised this acquisition didn't happen sooner. The first time I used Wiz I knew a big cloud provider would be snatching them up at some point. Why? Because every enterprise that decides to use cloud providers then needs to find someone to keep that cloud environment safe.

But also, and may more important, you get to see everyones cloud usage, across all providers, with a high level of permissions. Said differently, Google can now target customers with massive spend across other cloud providers and work to migrate them to GCP, at a price that's just cheap enough to over come the switching cost.

Show HN: Zant – A TinyML SDK in Zig
Hey HN,

We’re excited to announce Zant v0.1, an open-source TinyML SDK built in Zig, designed to optimize and deploy neural networks on resource-constrained devices. Unlike existing solutions, Zant focuses on performance, portability, and ease of integration, making it a strong alternative for anyone working on Edge AI and embedded ML.

Why Zant?

Most TinyML frameworks are either too high-level (requiring bloated runtimes) or too low-level (requiring extensive manual optimization). Zant bridges the gap by offering:
- A lightweight but powerful code generation system to translate ML models into optimized C/Zig code.
- Better memory efficiency than Python-based tools like TensorFlow Lite Micro.
- No runtime overhead—all computations are optimized for the target hardware.
- A modern, memory-safe approach using Zig instead of C/C++.

Features:

- Code generation now supports 29 operations, including: GEMM (General Matrix Multiplication), Convolutions (Conv2D), Activation functions like ReLU, Sigmoid, Leaky ReLU, and more
- Over 150 tests ensuring correctness and robustness across different hardware targets
- A fuzzing system helps detect mathematical errors and verify the integrity of auto-generated code.

Zant supports fully connected networks and simple convolutional architectures, making it suitable for various real-world TinyML applications.

Supported Hardware:

Zant has already been tested on multiple embedded platforms, showing promising results in real-world deployment:
Raspberry Pi Pico (1 & 2)
STM32 G4 and H7
Arduino Giga
Seeed Camera
More devices are being added as testing expands.

Roadmap:

Zant is still in early development, but we have ambitious goals for the next versions:
Expanding code generation to cover more ML operations.
- Quantization support (already in progress) to reduce model size and improve efficiency.
- YOLO support for real-time object detection on microcontrollers.
- Simplified deployment workflows to make it easier to use Zant across different hardware platforms.
- CI/CD pipeline to improve reliability and automate testing.
- Community engagement with a Telegram/Discord channel launching soon.

Why Zig?

Zig provides a modern, safer alternative to C, with better memory safety and performance optimizations. Unlike Python-based ML tools, Zant’s Zig-based approach avoids runtime overhead, making it ideal for low-power embedded devices.

How to Get Involved:

If you’re interested in TinyML, Edge AI, or embedded development, we’d love your feedback and contributions! No prior experience with Zig or TinyML is required—just a willingness to learn and a passion for the project.

To be completely fair, crypto is an ingenious money laundering vehicle. And money laundering is going to happen whether we like it or not because people will continue to engage in illegal economic activities.
This deal might be more than just strengthening cloud security—it could be a strategic move for Google’s multi-cloud positioning. If Wiz’s customer insights help drive migrations to GCP, the $32B price tag starts to make more sense beyond just a tech acquisition
It's never about shooting.
played as "birch", here's my first impressions and feedback

- my play style was definitely limited by the "2 actions per second" limit (I had to actively control my pace), and also disrupted by the info tooltip appearing over the cells I want to click when those extra fast clicks happen to be towards the bottom

- placing a mine counts as an action, which incentivizes farming hunting mines while letting others explore for you if you're aiming for points, this also is counterintuitive to how high-level minesweeper efficiency works (you usually ignore mines that are obvious to let the autofill work in the end to save time)

- I agree that the point system (especially the 2x round win bonus) steers the game towards competitiveness rather than cooperation

- mistakes, specifically left-clicking mines, could be more punitive: maybe outright switch the player to a different room if they "explode", which could encourage "safer" gameplay

- otherwise pretty fun! I think it's a solid foundation to build more modes and features on

While I think the ray-traced version looks better in a technical sense, it seems to me that they have completely forgotten to apply darkness and shadow appropriately in the scenes to create an immersive atmosphere.

Keep all the new tech and dial the ambient lighting down. That would look way better.

I’m just curious if anyone here has actually heard of this company before this announcement? If you have, what is your opinion on this acquisition?
> Some may argue that, from a business standpoint, not charging for stories primarily relying on public records automatically means fewer subscriptions and therefore less revenue (…)
> while some readers might not subscribe to outlets that give away some of their best journalism for free, *it’s just as possible that readers will recognize this sacrifice* and reward these outlets with more traffic and subscriptions in the long run.

(emphasis is mine)

Not, the outcimes are not as likely. This is the same argument that switching to foss and donation-based model would not result in income-loss compared to traditional business model.

We know from experience it does not financially work for a (very) large majority of products.

I laud Wired’s initiative but I hope they have considered it as a net-loss of income.

I totally get that the network effect makes it difficult to leave abusive platforms, but if one cares enough, it is possible to make that sacrifice.
