It’s worrying that people really don’t understand the appeal of pseudo philosophers like Tate and Jordan Peterson. It’s not the same as gambling. It’s really much more complex than that. Gambling is an irrational, desperate act that takes advantage of magical thinking.

The new “manosphere” exists and is popular because they actually are speaking to and engaging with men. Men have issues and frankly there’s no one (that I know of) on the left who’s giving any kind of antidote or guidance on the problems.

Personally I can’t stand the likes of Tate, simply because they embrace a form of masculinity that I find to be repulsive. But when they speak, I find a direct sense of empathy that’s just completely missing from any other talking head. I also feel the same empathy in many fictional movies like “A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood (2019)” or “Good Will Hunting.”

Journalism is an obvious one, since most journalism today is just rewriting information gathered from other media or social media, the same thing LLMs do. Insightful opinion writers or actual investigative journalists would be an exception.

I could see LLMs easily doing the job of newspaper sports reporting, for instance, taking the stats and a few main facts from last night's game and turning it into a narrative article. It just wouldn't be good at long-form pieces that go into depth about motivations and strategy.

Oh many purist networking geeks joined large corporations so that these corporations began to push IPv6 in a direction set by the geeks. They understood that as independent geeks they have essentially no say in the evolution of IPv6. My favorite example here is Android refusing to support stateful DHCPv6; it's clear that it's being pushed by purist networking geeks inside Google.
but you completely trust intel or apple to not have put in a backdoor tho?
Yeah, the motivation question is definitely a tricky one. A common REST story also feels like a piece of eventually getting to federated PRs between forges, though it may well be that that's just impossible, particularly given that GitLab has been thinking about it for a decade and hasn't even got a story for federation between instances of itself much less with Github or Bitbucket:

Show HN: I made a production-ready expo boilerplate to launch mobile apps fast
Hey HN,

I spent way too much time building mobile apps from scratch, so I made LaunchToday (Expo boilerplate) to fix that. It’s a production-ready starter kit that includes:

- Authentication (Magic links, OAuth, etc.)
- Backend integration (Works with Firebase, Supabase, or your own API)
- Payments (Stripe & IAP)
- Localization, monitoring, dark mode, and more

Since launching, startups have used it to cut weeks off development time. If you're a YC company building a mobile app, don’t start from scratch—focus on your product instead.

Would love to hear your thoughts! What’s been your biggest pain point in mobile development?

I don't think anyone really cares about "public transit". I think people care how convenient their life is. Why should I care if I take a bus to work or drive? I prefer whatever is best for me.

I would look at cost + time. For instance, if it costs me an extra $2k per year for a car but it saves me 30 minutes round trip, and my time is worth more than $20 an hour (assume work 200 days per year), then car is better. Add the convenience of not having to manage bus schedules and, you know, owning a car, its a no-brainer. I think there's some weird cultish behavior around "public transit" as though it is a good by itself is disconnected to how most people think about this.

So in this case not being able to afford a car or have anywhere to park it is not the win you think it is.

In terms of education, not sure its quantifiable but if you look at money, Mississippi spends considerably more:

In England, secondary school spending per pupil in 2024-25 is projected to be about £7,400 ($9.4k), while primary school spending per pupil is about £6,700 ($8.5k)

In Mississippi its around $12k

>when a future president can do the same with Trump's pardons.

the precedent set is the cancellation of autopen'd CNC'd signatures used during a presidency where many think the leader was mentally MIA.

it's troublesome to consider a cabinet that short-circuited the president via CNC'd autopen signatures, even if you're against the Trump presidency.
I haven't completely thought through this, but I can see issues with porting PIO-USB [0] for example. USB relies on a few different pulls to Vcc and Gnd with pre-defined values. On the host side you have to pull your signal lines to ground with 15k resistors. Those aren't strong enough to overcome the current leakage. The tricks where you enabled pad inputs only when you're reading the pin don't work here either as you can't do that in PIO.

Things like logic analyzers are going to have similar issues where their inputs will have to be buffered to provide a suitably low impedance path.

It's not insurmountable but it's enough for me to just fall back on the RP2040 in situations where I don't want to spend the effort to validate the RP2350.

Microwaves are a longer wavelength of light which makes them less precise. So people don’t use them to cut stuff for the reason lithography swapped to ultra violet light.

Harvard Is Going Tuition Free for Families Making Up to $200k
Pay as you go is better for all but the heaviest of users. The low cost per task and topping up a balance make it one less thing to think about, one less monthly fee, and will almost certainly result in cheaper cost per month.

It's the same reason why I use api keys from all of the LLM providers rather than pay monthly fees to any one individual company. It's $5-10/mo vs. ~$80/mo.
Disagree. Leveraging internal tools like JIRA, Confluence, PagerDuty etc has been a huge boost for productivity.

"I got an alert for X, who can help me" surfaces a bunch of helpful stuff. Not groundbreaking in the sense that I could do the leg work myself, but fantastic from automation point of view.

What scares me is the "YOLO mode" and similar in cursor. It's not practical to review each and every tool execution after the first couple of manual tool executions... Prompt injection is still a thing, whether intentional or accidental. Little Johnny Tables is still around.

Advances in AI are bringing down the cost of processing audio by perhaps 5x a year, and has been doing so for several years now.

Excerpt:

By Jennifer Szalai:

[...] “Careless People” is darkly funny and genuinely shocking: an ugly, detailed portrait of one of the most powerful companies in the world. What Wynn-Williams reveals will undoubtedly trigger her former bosses’ ire.

Not only does she have the storytelling chops to unspool a gripping narrative; she also delivers the goods.

During her time at Facebook, Wynn-Williams worked closely with its chief executives Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg. They’re this book’s Tom and Daisy — the “careless people” in “The Great Gatsby” who, as Wynn-Williams quotes the novel in her epigraph, “smashed up things and creatures” and “let other people clean up the mess they had made.”

[...] Wynn-Williams is aghast to discover that Sandberg has instructed her 26-year-old assistant to buy lingerie for both of them, budget be damned. (The total cost is $13,000.) During a long drive in Europe, the assistant and Sandberg take turns sleeping in each other’s laps, stroking each other’s hair.

On the 12-hour flight home on a private jet, a pajama-clad Sandberg claims the only bed on the plane and repeatedly demands that Wynn-Williams “come to bed.” Wynn-Williams demurs. Sandberg is miffed.

Sandberg isn’t the only person in this book with apparent boundary issues. Wynn-Williams has uncomfortable encounters with Joel Kaplan, an ex-boyfriend of Sandberg’s from Harvard, who was hired as Facebook’s vice president of U.S. policy and eventually became vice president of global policy — Wynn-Williams’s manager.

A former Marine who clerked for Justice Antonin Scalia and who was part of the “Brooks Brothers riot” of 2000, which helped bring George W. Bush into office, Kaplan went on to serve as a deputy chief of staff in his administration. Wynn-Williams describes Kaplan grinding up against her on the dance floor at a work event, announcing that she looks “sultry” and making “weird comments” about her husband.

[...] The book includes a detailed chapter on “Aldrin,” the code name for Facebook’s project to get unblocked in China. According to Wynn-Williams, the company proposed all kinds of byzantine arrangements involving China-based partnerships, data collection and censorship tools that it hoped would satisfy China’s ruling Communist Party.

Knowing that Zuckerberg would probably face questions about China from Congress, his team gave him cleverly worded talking points.

When Zuckerberg eventually appears before a Senate committee in 2018, a senator asks him how Facebook is handling the Chinese government’s unwillingness “to allow a social media platform — foreign or domestic — to operate in China unless it agrees to abide by Chinese law.”

In his reply, Zuckerberg states, “No decisions have been made around the conditions under which any possible future service might be offered in China,” to which Wynn-Williams comments: “He lies.”
> 2-6x faster than Redis (benchmark link below) yet disk persisted!

That's a false contradistinction: Redis is also disk persisted.

The benchmark you did mentions Redis benchmarking guide and this guide has following paragraph:

> Redis is, mostly, a single-threaded server from the POV of commands execution (actually modern versions of Redis use threads for different things). It is not designed to benefit from multiple CPU cores. People are supposed to launch several Redis instances to scale out on several cores if needed. It is not really fair to compare one single Redis instance to a multi-threaded data store.

Did you just benchmarked against only single Redis instance and claimed performance win? Even if so, how do benchmarks compare against source-available competitor DragonflyDB?

Finally, documentation doesn't mention how persistence exactly works and what durability guarantees should we expect?
> Still would be a massive conspiracy lol

Exactly. Tens of thousands of people have worked on these products. Many of them ex-employees now. Many disgruntled, even.

And we’re supposed to believe they’re all united in keeping this a secret? Nothing has been leaked, no security researchers have found anything, just a perfectly hidden conspiracy sitting in millions of homes?
No it is more like the 10000 lines of code running in your washing machine, you will probably be updating it in the next year revision of the product.

It is quite common for this code to have all variables be global and just not have any heap allocations at all. Sometimes you don't even have variables in the stack either (besides the globals).
I've struggled to find a place for the RP2040 and Pico dev boards. ESP32 is just so convenient, cheap, and powerful.

43% of Harvard students are legacies. I am fairly confident that a lot less than 80% of Harvard legacy admissions have less than $200,000 family income.
As I've said, the docs work for many people. Even in a situation where something is hard for someone, I disagree. It reinforces learned helplessness. Yes, work sometimes will be hard, but things get easier as you gain experience. To be fair to myself, the company cares if I achieve my goals and, importantly, does not give me extra time or extra credit to achieve other people's goals. Even with this in mind, as I've already said, I understand the importance of going the extra mile in some cases (to my own detriment). If another employee does not have the initiative or wherewithal to go through the normal channels and is only interested in skipping the line, this is not a good trade for me or our company.
Ben Bagdikian, whose most famous book is The Media Monopoly [1] said that the story of "media bias" is that newspaper reporters are liberal but the owner of the paper is conservative.

The awful truth is that readers are indifferent to real reporting, because they could care less that a young underpaid journalist spent weeks investigating something involving some people they've never heard of, in some town they never heard of, involving some issue they never heard of, and where there is not a clear moral conclusion. [2]

Musk certainly is excited about the MAGA thing, other oligarchs like Bezos might be less enthusiastic but may be going through the motions to say out of trouble. This was the story of oligarchs under Putin, who are much more likely to have their permits disappear, wind up in trouble for paracriminal activities, or fall out of a window than the vast bulk of people who just don't count.

Bezos has announced a change in direction for the opinion page, which Trump cares about. The rest of the paper, less so.

It was the first boom-and-bust experience for me. I got laid off from a startup that folded after the bust. That made me risk-averse and a skeptic. The housing bust of 2008 had a completely different flavor and character unlike dot-com. And, a startup I worked at folded in 2009 as well.

Since then, we have not seen a tech related recession - although, there have been ups and downs. As a result the current crop of engineers dont have a visceral experience of what happens in a tech related recession.

Typosquatt alert Malicious NPM Package: NYC-config
We discovered a malicious npm package nyc-config using our malicious OSS package monitor. It involved sending user system data to external domains.

Initially we assumed it to be a possible dependency confusion attack against @istanbuljs/load-nyc-config with ~25M weekly downloads. However, we were unable to identify corroborating evidences after manually analysing the entire dependency tree of nyc and load-nyc-config package.

We finally concluded it to be a possible typosquatt attack against the widely adopted @istanbuljs/load-nyc-config.

1. "Perfect is the enemy of good."

If the info is intended to be read by humans, keep it in a human-readable format. That way your project is more likely to _have_ a future.

2. Embrace your tooling.

You are keeping it on Github. GH will render Markdown to HTML for you. Use that. Don't keep it in some format it won't render.

3. Choose the right tools.

YAML is for config files. This isn't a config file.

4. Think about what tools you chose and why.

It may be easy to parse YAML with code, but is that significantly different from how easy it is to parse Markdown with code?

Anyway. You do you. I am not telling you what to do or how to do it. I am merely trying to point out flaws with the current approach.

I have an external USB keypad that I plug in when I need it (it's been a while to be honest), but I find it to be the best of both worlds. I get to use my preferred TKL most of the time, and when I need the numpad (spreadsheets, mostly), I drag it down from further up my desk into whatever position is best, and slide it back again when I'm done.

Never considered the numpad for block comments though, that's a neat call.

That's not part of Rust, that's a feature of its standard library. This is the same as C, where a freestanding implementation doesn't include malloc.

Put another way, there's no issues with a library using its own heap if it wants to.
The interviews with the Typescript dev doing the rewrite will tell you why. Switching their compiler to Go was a quick transition since Go matched their current JS build. The dev also wanted to use go, and use functional programming. It would have required more work to switch from functional to OOP style that C# has. Dev also didn't want to learn F#. Nothing about C#, just a personal decision with the least amount of work to get to a beta.
