Something I’ve noticed is that a surprising (to me) number of people I generally think of as “smart” say things like that.

“You can’t arrest your boss” or “if the President is in charge of the executive, why can’t he decide these things?”

And it continues to surprise me. I take these queries in good faith with respect to the people in my life that I know who respond in this way.

But it leaves me wondering how others think the world works. Do people want to live in a world where one branch has unchecked power and may disregard with impunity the checks and balances in our government?

Why shouldn’t and why can’t a rogue President be contained by lawful means? Why shouldn’t the Marshal’s be able to arrest someone at the direction of the court? That’s how it works for everyone else.

It’s by no means an unsettled question as to whether Presidents are accountable to the law and Constitution. They are. Full stop.

Is it just that having a President that actively ignores and breaks laws in plain sight is just so new? How long do we wait for the novelty to wear off?

Of course the functioning of all of this is predicated upon good faith and the absence of an almost complete takeover of the system by bootlickers.
Same with keyboards, the RP2040 is one of the most popular options for running QMK now.

That said it's not a good fit for wireless keyboards, that niche is served by ZMK running on nRF chips.

I'm terribly sorry that your culture has imposed such low thresholds of permissible cognitive density! I definitely believe that it would be morally horrendous to pass that down to one's offspring.

>I will say only that I have kids, they are lovely, they definitely changed me and I wouldn't trade them for the world. Luckily we weren't deterred by sanctimonious parenting slop.

And again you did not acknowledge their perspectives as sentient beings separate from you. You could've said, they are happy. You could've said, they are doing well. You could've even said, they will never entertain convincing doubts as to whether their particular lives are worth living - which is not the case for you can't imagine how many people who were also the kids of some parents at some point.

But what you said is, they are lovely (external appraisal) and that you wouldn't trade them for the world - a fixed expression with zero meaning and misleading premise. There's no weird either/or situation where "trading one's kids for the world" would be on the table (though I've seen parents sell out their kids for less, or sometimes for nothing at all, with the same air of moral stuperiority that you are here attempting to exude); the purpose of repeating this formulaic phrase is to distract from the understanding that kids are given to the world, and, in return, the world is given to them. If anyone even remembers to tell them that, anyway.

I do admit my biases: I only speak from observation and experience, not from a set of phraseologisms drilled into me during freshman year to make me unable to critically examine how my life choices affect other people.
Microsoft themselves ship on a variety of platforms.

It's more about right tool for the right job.

Good example is Azure CLI; it's Python. Microsoft is also a big contributor in the Python scene[0]

I don't think it's surprising at all that they didn't use C# to write a compiler for TS.

They have internal champions for Rust[1]

I'd say Microsoft is possibly one of the most diverse shops when it comes to tech selection.

If you have a few minutes, reading the full complaint is worth it - the blog posts and the articles don't really do the whole story justice.

There is extremely damning evidence that this unnamed individual ("D.S.") in Ireland was acting at the behest of Deel senior leadership, including:

- the COO of deel reached out to a rippling payroll manager on linkedin to recruit them. The rippling employee didn't respond. Shortly thereafter, D.S. pulled up that employees personnel record in the HR system that has their unlisted phone number. Shortly after THAT, the COO of deel reached back out to that employee via WhatsApp and that phone number.

- The information was about to publish a story about Deel potentially violating sanctions. New information in the article was that at least one of the customers involved was a company called "tinybird". No one at rippling was aware that this company even existed, but a week BEFORE the article came out, but after the reporter had been asking questions of Deel, D.S. started searching Slack for "tinybird" (and there were no other searches of "tinybird" across the whole company)

- Around the same time, the reporter for the information reached out to rippling and had internal Rippling slack messages about potential similar sanctions violations. A short time before that happened, D.S. was suddenly searching for "russia", "sanctions", "iran", etc.

- There was an email between D.S. and the ceo of Deel, along with an introduction to someone from the family VC fund.

- And then, of course, the honeypot - a fake channel, fake chats from the Rippling CRO, but the chats had real stories that former Deel employees had alleged. Email sent to only the CEO of Deel, his dad/chairman of the board, and their GC. Just a short time later, D.S. was searching for the fake channel, trying to find it, adn trying to find these chat messages.

I'm sure the CEO will try to have plausible deniability, that it was someone else in his org that he delegated investigating these things to, he had no idea, etc. But if they can get D.S. to crack and share the details of what happened, I think it will be tough to toe that line.

>As a quick point and this is quite a late response, having the same FOXP2 gene may not be enough. New evidence suggests

>Using statistical software that evaluates gene expression based on the type of gene, Vanderbilt graduate student Laura Colbran found that Neandertal versions of the gene would have pumped out much less FOXP2 protein than expressed in modern brains. In living people, a rare mutation that causes members of a family to produce half the usual amount of FOXP2 protein also triggers severe speech defects, notes Simon Fisher, director of the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics in Nijmegen, the Netherlands, who discovered the gene.
Interference pattern also disappears when detector detects absence of detection, which shouldn't change properties of the particle.
This is impressive! I like how you make this without the use of frameworks. Nice job!

All of the advances of modern physics were made by people who were well trained and well acquainted with the state of the art.

There is a myth that Einstein was an outsider. He had a degree in physics. He was working as a patent clerk because he couldn't find a job as a high school teacher, not because he didn't know physics.
The kind of text box used in php forums ... called text area I think, and this would be hidden every time the focus went away and an HTML based layout presented in its place. This seemed to be clunky but I thought that was what made writely possible. ContentEditable is such a breath of fresh air had I ever known about it. I wonder if IE6 supported that.
As I said, people doing this aren't interested in looking for an answer. They're interested in making their problem someone else's problem. An AI agent doesn't solve this.
our approach is actually hybrid. on the other side of the performance coin, we have resource efficiency. that resource efficiency let's us provide a performant and low latency managed KV store, with lower cost, so the economy of it makes sense. the idea is that not everyone requires sub-microsecond latency, and for that group the value proposition is a low latency kv store which is feature rich with a novel bi-directional ws api. for people who need sub-microsecond latency, we're planning custom setup that allows them to make a local vectored interface call to get the sub-microsecond speeds. in between, we have the business plan that provides a custom binary protocol that is the one used in the benchmark :)
Not just .com, it also works for .org, .app, .dev, etc.

As suggested by another comment, it looks like not all ccTLDs support RDAP. For example, .io does not.
Then I guess this would mean we have to go back and review all - what - presidential proclamations, laws, executive orders done by autopen and void them?

So normally when you have a microcontroller pin and you configure it as an input, you expect it to SINK current (as in, take voltage 'in'). The bug is that if the external voltage is between 1V and 2.5V (I don't remember the exact voltages, don't quote me on that) the pin will SOURCE current, acting almost as if you'd set it to be an output pin. It's not a lot of current, but it's enough to hold the pin at 2.2V.

This happens on all microcontrollers btw. Random charge accumulates and pushes the voltage on your pin to some arbitrary point. The way you fix this normally is by providing a path for that charge to escape in the form of a pull-down resistor. Usually you need something in the 100k range. Because of this bug you need something more in the 5k range.

For some circuits that's fine, for others it's more problematic.
On my Win10 desktop it got to 30GB though and the stuff worth backup is actually about 1GB of it.

Let's just call it what it is: a complete mess. Some apps install their binaries in there, some just config files, some all your data.

If there are guidelines (and they are not conflicting) about 1/3 of apps are ignoring them.

Also good luck trying to back it up with robocopy or anything, maybe windows' own backup tool can read it while running on that account, I usually get errors, which I think are mostly fine to ignore.
Sounds like you're hearing one user express one opinion, another user express a different opinion, and are trying to distill them into a singular "HN" opinion.

I don't think it works that way.
Cool stuff! What's your current focus on, and what are your plans for the near future?

And congrats on the jump. It takes courage to go solo :)
It's been proven many times that in well-connected networks (e.g. datacenters) H2 is faster, often because all of the things that H3 improves on is now handled in the user context, which negates the overhead.

The benefits only show in poorly connected networks (public internet), so that's pretty exclusively where it should be used - anything internet-facing.

Yes, I do use neovim as my main editor, as well as applications like ranger that use similar binds. While the hjkl placement is a bit nonsensical like in most non-qwerty layouts, in the end you're just pressing letters to do actions, and you get used to it the same way you get used to typing in the new layout in general. I don't do any special rebinding with the layout in mind. I also tend to argue that if you're advanced in vim, you won't use hjkl as much anyway since you'll be moving by words or paragraphs or using the search instead.
The author still managed to give at least one interview before the arbitrator's decision.

For example,

https://www.thefp.com/p/meet-sarah-wynn-williams-facebooks

Meta published a response to the book that only alleges the author's claims are "old" and does not suggest they are false.

https://about.fb.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Sarah-Wynn-W...

If the claims are false and defamatory, then why not sue the author for defamation.

In the book, the author suggests she was harassed by two famous Facebook managers and then terminated when she complained.

Apparently the book is a top seller on Amazon. Perhaps it does not need promotion by the author.

The author has also filed a whistleblower complaint at the SEC re: the China issue.

A columnist I read brought this up recently mocking a bunch of Silicon Valley execs supporting monarchism, presumably thinking they would be the educated elite monarchs. His point was that they hadn't invented anything new . . . monarchy is literally one of the oldest ideas in human history.

Of course there's also the bit that historically, when unrest or a revolution comes, the people who think they can manipulate it to end up in charge are usually the people who end up getting stood up against a wall and shot, too.

Joy on the Roadmap: In Action
The general point is not that the feature currently exists to dial down the LLM parse error rate, it’s that the abstract argument “we can’t use LLMs because they aren't perfect” isn’t a realistic argument in the first place. You’re probably reading this on hardware that _probably_ shows you the correct text most all of the time but isn’t guaranteed to.
I did not mean that there is a problem with it, only that I appreciate the simplicity of WHOIS. While HTTP-with-JSON is perhaps the most practical solution these days.

To clarify my point of view, an ad hoc HTTP client for this indeed should not be hard to write from scratch, demonstrating that there is not much complexity in that. The server part would be a little more tricky; still doable, but not as easily as for WHOIS, and in most cases a more sensible approach would be to use libraries (or a program like curl, in case of shell scripting or manual usage) for that, as you said. Likewise with JSON: though one can deal with it as with text, some added tools (a library or jq, depending on context) would be sensible to use. But then added dependencies lead to all kinds of issues in non-ideal conditions (e.g., when it is problematic to install those). But again, I am not saying that this should stop adoption of RDAP.

On top of that, a complete and proper HTTP 1.1 implementation, server or client, would be quite large. And JSON, while indeed common and not particularly complicated, still has bits I find awkward (no sum types or a standard way to encode those, but has "objects", arbitrary-looking primitive types; no single standard for streaming, either), so working around it is not exactly pleasurable. Those add up to a difference between a trivial protocol and, well, a non-trivial one. I appreciate such trivial yet working and useful solutions, though the other kind is commonly useful as well.
The test for me in defining social medial is whether its core is based a graph of connections. This is where you lose control in, for example, FB: Meta can infer many details about me without me ever posting anything, such as figuring out my home town based on relatives and school friends -- many other examples.

And this is why I no longer use any Meta products.

What I can do is help my family and friends understand the choices they are making (e.g. use Signal to talk to me). That rush they feel posting something has effects on people in their graph and now they at least understand that and pause.

Another example is ancestor "research" type sites, or DNA tests to find "your true ancestry". I had no choice a cousin of mine chose that as a hobby.

Not really sure if you're serious, but the night Trump was sworn in and took office, he talked for multiple hours straight, without a teleprompter (as always), with reason and a red thread through the entire thing. You may not agree with his policies, but to claim that his mental health is declining is ridiculous.

OTOH, watching Biden spontaneously become a Roomba, walking away in arbitrary directions, always having his handlers with him, etc. is ultimately sad. I dont think people point it out to ridicule, I think it's a serious situation, especially given the fact that he was commander in chief for 4 years.

A lawsuit is never meaningless. One doesn't stop trying to enforce the law because a criminal is persistent. And someone that willingly breaks a law for immoral reasons and without being willing to face the consequences is a criminal.
It would be interesting to put an Alexa (or another voice assistant device) in a space with only an audio playback device around to keep it company, with that audio playback device playing sounds associated with various crimes (but never saying the trigger word obviously). I wonder if there are any crimes it thinks it would hear that would result in a police visit. If police were called as a result of this setup, would this constitute a false police report on Amazon's behalf?

In the US, because I'm at least reasonably confident that such a setup comes nowhere near any exceptions to free speech protections here.

That may mean that RDS could provide Timescale as an available extension without promoting it directly. However, that is a sufficiently gray legal area that I doubt Amazon wants to wade into it (instead of just making a competing product).

The only way I think one could safely thread the needle here would be for RDS to allow you to bring your own extensions, as then Amazon is definitely not hosting it for you. However, that would compromise the security model and responsibility division that RDS provides.
As a homosexual I am completely unable to emphasize with cultures and nationalities that kill my kind. Many of us think like that, but embedded in the „left and liberal“ groups we often are and the threat of violence from watermelons, we need to hide our real opinion.

On the whole it's also conflating different incentives. You don't typically associate your costs with _how_ you're using your tools, at least you don't want to. It creates a bad (or perverse) incentives to change how you work in order to minimize costs, you're rewarding your users to use your product less.

I have to say these seem like hobbyist-level products. For example https://coral.ai/products/m2-accelerator-dual-edgetpu can do 8 TOPS, but a 5-year-old RTX 2060 gets you 50 TOPS. A newer H100 gets you 3958 TOPS.
