I ask AI to generate diagrams in LaTeX, works well for me.
Not with that attitude you won't. Clearly the machine is the wrong color for your workloads.
The institutions have lost trust by sneaking political decisions through under the guise of science. Science can tell you what will happen if you make a certain decision, but it can't tell you what decision to make because that is a fundamentally non scientific question. They can regain trust by acting in a trustworthy manner.

can you give more feedback about dagger? what is good/not good about it? I was going to start looking into it
I'm an American software developer and the "broligarchs" don't speak for me
Yes, big rip was clearly disfavored by available data, and heat death ("big freeze") the most likely scenario. I haven't kept up in the past few years, abut AFAIK nothing so far has changed that.
Sir Clive Sinclair in the UK should be credited with inventing the mass market computer. Commodore 64 launch price on the UK was £299 whereas the ZX Spectrum was £129 and it's predecessor the ZX81 sold for £70. Clive wanted to set a price point so that ordinary people could buy one. He started with the price and built a machine to meet that price. This made it accessible to most people as the Commodore 64 would have been outside the budget of most households.
Sure, but this may be news to the target audience of the article.
You've already had some replies for the C FFI side of things, you might also be interested in maturin & PyO3 for python bindings. I haven't looked if they've exposed some python interface (guessing not), but Rust/Python interop is often pretty easy: https://www.maturin.rs/
Still, we’ve got a little while to go before star formation can no longer occur.

Some estimates put the star formation period from 1 to 100 trillion years.

I’d be more concerned about our collision course with the Andromeda Galaxy in four to five billion years.

It's not the worst but the original Pebble Time Steel looks better IMO. I understand why they used a simpler case design (They don't have the resources to make anything like the PTS) but I still like the PTS design more. Maybe someone will come out with a custom case or something idk
Seeing the rates here for other countries at least it's a better deal: 50% for delays of 30-60m, and 100% for delays of an hour or longer.
If you're referring to the time they nuked an Australian retirement fund's VMware setup, no, that was basically a billing screwup. An operator left a field blank, the system assumed that meant a 1-year expiry, and dutifully deleted it after 1 year was up.

Meanwhile in the US people sacrifice their leading EV company over personal objections.
Was Ampere going bankrupt though?

I think the fear is that if Oracle was the purchaser, then that would be good for Oracle, but not necessarily the rest of the ARM ecosystem. Given Softbank’s ARM investment, it is in their interest to try to keep the ecosystem healthy.
Tech Goes Hardcore: Companies Push Employees to Embrace Intensity
I'm surprised the author doesn't mention environment secrets, which I think currently are the only way to avoid that anyone with push access to any repo also gets full access to all secrets (by pushing a new workflow file and triggering it). This makes org and repo secrets practically useless for any team where only admins or maintainers should have access to secrets.
I’m curious if it can help others the same way. If you have an idea, try it out and let me know what works (or breaks). I’d love your feedback!
Is this just rage bait or a serious question? If it's the latter please explain how you see these two the same. The numbers don't match.
ah too bad! I wanted to use it!
Actually I think it more as a testament to the tool easy of use and deploy, and to its reliability. Otherwise malwares wouldn't use it.
The security of GCP rests on the security of Google. If Google gets hacked, GCP customers are not secure.

Additionally:

Google offers BeyondCorp products as GCP products. A big example is IAP. Do AWS and Azure offer something like IAP? If so, I think they were created in response to IAP.

Another Google/GCP security product related to zero trust is Chrome Enterprise Premium: https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/identity-security/int... .

Another innovative GCP security product is VPC Service Controls. Do AWS and Azure offer something like that? If so, I think they were created in response to VPC Service Controls.

Security keys: I mentioned in my previous comment how they're used by consumers (that includes GCP customers). GCP is making MFA mandatory this year: https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/identity-security/man...

Bug bounties protect GCP customers by making sure GCP products don't have vulnerabilities.

Project Zero protects GCP customers by finding vulnerabilities in products that GCP customers use (although it also finds vulnerabilities in products that AWS and Azure customers use).

When Microsoft got hacked by China in 2023, China stole Microsoft's signing key, and used it to mint tokens to impersonate Azure AD users of Microsoft customers. That's relevant to security in the Cloud.

GCP products are also recognized for security:

Microplastics boost antibiotic resistance in E. coli, lab study suggests
See my reply here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43399981
This. Your own runners can cache everything (docker caches, apt caches, ccache outputs...) and can also share the compilation load (icecc for c++). All that gives 5x-10x speed boost.

No, it could also end in a big crunch or big rip scenario. They'd have a finite lifetime of the universe.
Recently I had to use Julia and their Pluto notebooks. While I really did not enjoy Julia, I loved Pluto notebooks, and Marimo is basically this, but for python.

The reactive component is great for exploring data in an easy way, with sliders and buttons. Also for simulations when you want to try a bunch of different parameters.
You can bundle everything in a file in most programming languages. You may find it useful (for sysadmin purposes) only with scripting languages, because with compiled ones you generally "bundle" most of the software in the executable file.
Myths and Facts Regarding Low-Carbohydrate Diets
Yeah, I was wondering about that too. But if he stopped some weeks ago, why did he continue till now under his alias? Just to make people think they're not the same person?
Depends on the complexity of your pipeline.
historically, "gaining unauthorized access" IS the second meaning.
2FA doesn't necessarily require entering a code. A lot of 2FA schemes use a push notification where the user confirms the login on a separate device.

Session cookies are a problem, some services provide a way to invalidate all session cookies, but it's often buried deeply in settings and users aren't aware to find the button after a compromise.

Interference patterns. Cool stuff. Made me think of the 3brown1blue video on holograms... that one blew my mind but that's par for the course for 3b1b...
Not sure what you mean by "here" and where you see the distinction. It's still in the "Americans doing bad things to foreigners" category. There's no distinction. It's just that rejecting some French on the border is just relatively minor bad thing, compared to materially supporting genocide.
I was wondering if I could use Claude Desktop to control VS Code directly (perhaps a plugin in it) so that I only need to open two windows.
What is a general purpose server app?

Does Apple prevent their users running applications which listen to outside connections?
Possibly, the important thing though is whether that is classified as an unfair advantage by the EU. The European tariffs on Chinese EV producers were calculated precisely on the amount of unfair advantage received for each one.

Also just had a look and Tesla has indeed been burdened with a tariff of 7.8% (for vehicles built in China), compared to 17% of BYD, 18% Geely and 20% to 35% for other companies.

In fact, I elaborated in my comment that not even the homepage of the project itself makes it clear. Why would google, an unrelated website make it any clearer...
Show HN: I Built an App to Help Learn Vocabulary with Notifications and Widgets
Hey HN,

I created Vocadaily to make vocabulary learning effortless. Most people struggle with consistency, so Vocadaily uses daily notifications, widgets, and smart exercises to keep new words in sight and easy to practice.

Why Vocadaily?
Curated Word Lists – Learn by topic & difficulty.
Smart Exercises – Quizzes & real-world usage.
Pronunciation Guides – Improve speaking skills.
Notifications & Widgets – Learn without opening the app.
Supports English, Chinese, Japanese, German, French, & more.

I’d love your feedback. URL: https://vocadaily.com/
We have this same pattern in Vancouver and a good chunk of British Columbia as well, though this winter which just ended was the mildest of the 11 years I've been here
Thats like saying tech culture is advertising and surveillance just because that the biggest superficial part of it. A broad generalization that is not a very helpful measurement for anything.
Hackning is what a competent black hat does while hacking. It is also what is done here. The double meaning is over 50 years old now.
Ask HN: What is the real cost of electronic components?
I was wondering what's the real price of electronic components and how is that different from retailers like Mouser or Digikey.

I went with my BOM around and some _unofficial_ websites have really low prices for some components and i was wondering, if i place a really big order (let's say 100k€ worth of components) what would be the discount of these pices? it is still too small to have a discount?

Is there someone inside the industry who can give me a ballpark number?

EDIT:
Forgot to say, one of my friends who does reverse enginering said that for some components the """real price""" is 70% of the price on these big websites (at that point you talk with the manufacturer but for me that number is too big)
Apple, just like Microsoft, were known for they great UI 25 years ago. Today, this is no longer the case.
The funny thing is that all FAANGs have big European subsidiaries, and specially so for their research labs.

Also, they always buy any promising new European company (and many times even keep their original offices open in Europe).

If things in Europe are so bad, I wonder why?
I was speaking in general.

In the specific case of Ampere it remains to be seen, it wasn't that healthy also.

https://www.theregister.com/2024/09/26/oracle_ampere_stake_c...
I found that jarring too. Diversity can only really be a criterion of a group, not an individual. Otherwise it's just tokenism.
HackerNews, the bastion of logic.

First of all, not having the energy to wait for an elevator (!!!) and walk across roads to get to a park sounds like depression. I hope that it was checked out. Or hey, maybe it was just the living circumstances but usually it's a complex thing, having to do with loneliness and general life issues.

Secondly, urban environments are very varied outside the US. In Europe the most frequent apartment buildings are mid rises, 4-6 stories high, which can make for incredible environments.

Shops everywhere, life everywhere. People going about their business, easy access to everything.

Thirdly, that "touch grass" argument is ridiculous, even in the US. 90% of front and backyards I've seen are... just grass. I don't know if it's due to people or HOA being cheap or regulations, but there's a dearth of shrubs, hedges, trees, general greenery. You know, the type of green stuff that makes life worth living, not just sterile, manicured lawns. And those are exactly the things that aren't missing in most urban parks. Yes, you have to share the space, and that's fine. In most places not overrun by homeless people and drug addicts (much bigger problems in the US than in most other developed countries), parks are just lovely.

And in many places multiple apartment buildings share the same common backyard, which is a lot larger than what a single family home in a suburb will have, and that will be a semi-private mini park, just for residents.

Behaving like it's crazy for people to want to live in apartments, globally, is truly sad.

Apartments don't require as much maintenance. They can offer nicer views, especially higher up. They are generally in walkable and bikeable areas with easy access to everything... The benefits are innumerable, especially for kids or the elderly.

Edit: Oh, North America is particularly dastardly, for a developed region, in creating urban hell landscapes. I tried walking from the Las Vegas Strip to Downtown Las Vegas. I took the monorail to the end and then figured I'd walk the remaining distance, which is not huge (something like 4km). I turned around after about 20 minutes, even though the weather was awesome. It's incredibly how such wealth can create environment were an average person outside of a car is constantly under assault from noise, pollution, bad sidewalks full of debris, glass, etc. and the environment is so barren and devoid of beauty.
I think this is also the better article. The other one is all over the place.
Firebase again.
There are tradeoffs to that. If your CI logic is in shell scripts, you will probably get worse error reporting than the dedicated tasks from the CI tool (which hook into the build system, or which know how to parse logs).
I took this course the first semester it was given. There was one TA, and now there's 24! Fun fact: The TA was the writer of Aqua's 90s hit "Doctor Jones".

I used AI to generate some UML diagrams on a loosely coupled system - just fed it the actual classes where only names identify the actual links. It did quite a good job there.

It was a well defined domain so I guess the training data argument doesn't fit for stuff that is within a "natural" domain like graphs. LLMs can infer the behavior based on naming quite well.
I'll take on the occasion to ask the HN crowd: have you noticed that caches, on top of being limited to 10GB, don't seem to expire as advertized, in a LRU manner?
They mention "It takes 6 GB VRAM for shape generation and 24.5 GB for shape and texture generation in total."

So based on this your 4080 can do shape but not texture generation.
Do you have a link to openCore? There's a rather unfortunate name collision with a Hackintosh bootloader that's preventing me from finding any info on it no matter which search engine I use.
If you are annoyed by gitlab-runner deprecating run command that I used to run pipelines locally, there is https://github.com/firecow/gitlab-ci-local . But it also opened my eyes to benefita of having runner invariant pipelines -- pipelines written in solution agnostic way. Use bash, make, just, doit or whatever.

Nothing beats having a single script to bootstrap and run the whole pipeline e.g. `make ci`.
You're just trading one kind of risk for another. When you own real estate you have a lot more control over your cost of living.

That said, I think it would be fair to distinguish proper ownership from paying a 30 year mortgage. There's really not much difference in economic terms between renting and 3 decades of structured payments once you factor in insurance, fees, etc.

If you own real estate outright and it's homestead in a place like Texas, your total monthly burn rate could easily be <$1000. Why kill yourself with delusions of grandeur in the market? It's significantly easier to control your own consumption habits if you want to wind up with a net gain.
Pretty sure it was sacrificed by its owner (and let's be clear here, NOT founder...)
Also, people are very quick to declare something "dead" or "sacrificed". Financially speaking, Elon has become an invincible god that would be fine even if all his companies went right down to 0. TSLA is going to find some kind of bottom after which some 'institutional investor' from Saudi Arabia will bail them out....
There is act, that allows you to run actions locally. Although not exactly the same as the real thing, it can save time.

Thermodynamics says there will be equilibrium, not that it will be all dark. But all the visible stars will run out at some point, and since nothing new can get into that sphere, each place in space will be "dark" at some point.

What about the CMBR, I've never heard anyone say that's decaying, but surely it's not an infinite source of energy?
Oh wow, shallow communication performative piece in a way ?
YAML is fine for what it is: a markup language. I have no problem with it being used in simple configuration files, for instance.

However, CI is not "configured", it is coded. It is simply the wrong tool. YAML was continuously extended to deal with that, so it developed into much more than just "markup", but it grew into this terrible chimera. Once you start using advanced features in GitLab's YAML like anchors and references to avoid writing the same stuff again and again, you'll notice that the whole tooling around YAML is simply not there. How does the resulting YAML look like? How do you run this stuff locally? How do you debug this? Just don't go there.

You will not be able to avoid YAML completely, obviously, but use it the way it was originally intended to.
The pain points sound pretty trivial though.

You notice a deprecation warning in the logs, or an email from GitHub and you make a 1 line commit to bump the node version. Easy.

Sure you can make typos that you don’t spot until you’ve pushed and the action doesn’t run, but I quickly learned to stop being lazy and actually think about what I’m writing, and get someone else to do an actual review (not just scroll down and up and give it a LGTM).

My experience is same as the commenter above, it’s relatively set and forget. A few minutes setup work for hours and hours of benefit over years of builds.

Apple absolutely does treat the web as an endpoint that needs discriminatory features to protect users. See tighter controls of:

1. location data

2. notifications

3. long term state

4. background processing

5. photo access

6. web access on local network

7. sensor access (e.g. accelerometer)

8. state sharing with other parties (e.g. 3rd party cookies)

There is no regulatory body that can apply economic penalties to security and privacy abuses on the open web. The App Store model on the other hand requires a real identity verification to sign up as a developer, static applications which can be verified by review, and real penalties for abuses (refusing to publish new versions, removal from the store, potential legal action by Apple for contract violation).

As an example - an API for reading the personal contacts database can only have a gate for access with no limits on abuse once access is granted. The App Store model lets Apple apply real penalties for abusive behaviors of such an API. The web does not have a regulator, so the hypothetical UX for sharing a contact is designed to be much more restrictive with a higher barrier of user consent.

In Bangladesh we also make a bunch of different dishes only in Ramadan. I mean they are made all year round in restaurants, but in Ramadan every Muslim household and street corner vendors will make them- haleem (lentil soup with meat), piyaju/beguni (deep fried snacks made of onions, lentils and eggplant etc.), bundia/jalebi (desserts), sola-muri (chickpea dish with puffed rice), "rooh afza" beverage to name a few. Even my non-muslim friends would crave some of these dishes and look forward to Ramadan to enjoy these.
It ain't much better for us desktop folks.
Oh nice, I wasn't aware. I always associated hacking with "gaining unauthorized access" and googling for the first definition confirmed that I'm my eyes. Didn't know it was the other way around and the term is actually much older than I assumed.
Neat idea!

Could you go into a bit more detail on how you encode the intent?
Polls don't matter. Dems made a "which is worse" decision. They chose the less crappy option.

A govt shutdown is far, far worse for everyday Americans than some polling. What Trump and Co are doing now is nothing compared to what they can do if they can hold every single budget item hostage. The "traitors" understand this and made the less bad decision. By keeping the govt open it takes a huge amount of power away from MAGA.

Things are already going to get real bad. Why let Republicans have absolute control over the budget too?
Both are derived uses, but breaking in seems slightly more distant than the more recent usage of hackathon.

"Hack job" predates computers. The oldest form known means "to cut irregularly or inexpertly", with industrial revolution era uses similar to to people saying "AI slop" in the last year or two: https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/211750/where-did...

"The" jargon file says "[originally, someone who makes furniture with an axe]", while other sources claim it's the name of a tool that functions much like an axe or a mattock, or such an action as one might use the item for:

"""In fact, the OED also defines hack as a tool for breaking or chopping up, dating from before 1300:

He lened him þan a-pon his hak, Wit seth his sun þus-gat he spak.
And hacker follows. From 1620:

One good hacker, being a lusty labourer, will at good ease hack or cut more than half an acre of ground in a day."""

Yes, that's broadly a good thing which tilts the playing field in favour of locating productive people close to their work.

Whether it's possible to set it at a level strong enough to produce the right "nudge" without creating a bunch of unintended consequences, harder to say. Probably worth trying in a few city-regions though to see what happens.
