NASA announced last August that the Starliner crew would return on SpaceX Crew-9 in Feb 2025.[1] This was discussed on Hacker News at the time.[2] Crew-9 was launched in September 2024.[3] Crew-9's return was delayed waiting for the launch of Crew-10, originally scheduled for Feb 2025, but pushed back to March. [4] Anyone repeating the claim that Trump and/or Musk "decided" to return the Starliner crew is spreading lies, deliberately or unwittingly.

And they make great baguettes. But you didn't get my point.

I am an atheist. I do think that what the nurse did is wrong and unprofessional.

My point is: I would still have absolutely clinged to it, if I was in the same situation as this woman. I would have talked with this nurse, and would have told her that yes, maybe God had something to do with it. And you would have too, probably.

If you are drowning in the ocean, you don't discard a piece of floating wood because it has growing fungi. Claiming virtue is very easy ... until you experience real hardship.

Don't say that he's hypocritical- say rather that he's apolitical. 'Once the rockets go up, who cares where they come down - that's not my department' says Werner Von Braun.

Some have harsh words for this man of renown. But some think our attitude should be one of gratitude, like the widows and cripples in old London town who owe their large pension to Wernher von Braun

This caught my interest too. Shouldn't these figures have been audited by one of the big 4 accountancy firms and thus some have some defence against wildness?
I think takes like this (that are roughly summed up as "everyone but me is dumb") are very self-limiting. Even if your take is "correct" in some super simplified high level sense it prevents you from learning anything about how humans work and how beliefs like this develop
The more interesting thing is that GIMP 3 has allowed distros to drop Python 2 completely. Fedora has done it recently.

If all you want to do is match against a sequence of bytes, sure. But when you want to start providing features like case-insensitivity, matching against file extensions, globbing, etc, then you have to declare what a given byte sequence actually represents, and that requires an encoding.
Running a shell script went badly, generating a bunch of invalid files containing random data in their names, rather than one file containing random data.

I wonder if we will simply skip PCI-e 6.0 and move directly to 7.0 Given how similar they are compare to 5.0

We only use got 15GB/s SSD out from Samsung, we could reach 60GB/s by 2030. Although I suspect consumer will simply do 30GB/s with 2 lane instead of 4. We are already bottlenecked by CPU in game loading rather than IO.
Perhaps, but you would not have said that to her if you were there.
False claims would be good criteria. Tesla’s stock price massively benefited from “Full Self-Driving” hype over a decade of unkept promises; having penalties for misleading investors would help a lot of industries.
Cybertruck is also not legal in the UK.
When you have a President that fires, deports, sues, and calls for the impeachment of anyone who challenges him, why on Earth (pun intended) would you take the word of someone whose life is in his hands at face value?

Get on the ground, then tell the truth. The moment Trump politicized those astronauts they became political hostages.
This is great! I've been using Cursor Directory pretty much since it's inception a few months ago and it's great to see it come this far this quickly. Will be diving into the code, kudos on making it OS!

Would love to see a blog and maybe some documentation as to how to create MCPs
As much as i love new rust cli tools, `fd` ended up in the same bag as tar and ln.. I can never retain how to use it. I don't blame anybody .. I'm just witness that I always have to re-read the man from scratch to get anything done. And I'm not a gnu find lover.. with all its idiosyncracies.. somehow it registers better.

I've always imagined the Pig taboo originated in the specific practical reason that it's easy to get parasites from pork meat (1), especially if your understanding of food safety and sanitation is pre-modern.

"Originated" however, does not mean that this is actually a compelling reason. Just that someone thought it was. Of course you could argue, "no, it's as safe as anything else if you ..., they could have ...". Maybe they could have, but they didn't.

It's not so much ridiculous as "There are ways to do it safely. History strongly suggests that the default should be to assume it's unsafe, so treat it with heightened scrutiny."

There may be some specific ways in which Lamarckian genetics is correct, but given that trusting too much in it has already resulted in one crippling famine, it's fair to hit claims founded on it with a larger skepticism bat than theories based on Mendelian inheritance.

I know a number of builders in my neighborhood. There's a number of compounding issues: labor costs are higher, which means the customer wants to maximize resale value by amortizing lot costs. This dovetails (in Texas) with carried property tax rates; so, lots in city boundaries increase in price faster than you'd think just sitting around. Second, the builders tend to buy material on futures, which means you lock in price + volatility. There's been a buttload of volatility over the last 12 years, adding to the cost of materials. Inflation has hit building materials pretty hard (wood, concrete, steel).

Last, and this is really hard to convince some people: the amount of rebuilding due to natural disasters has skyrocketed. Due to the way insurance & federal relief works, that work is far preferable to labor than spec work. This has put a huge distortion in the new build market.

Even the 90s and early 2000s! The internet used to be way more endearing back then, with way more individually operated websites, blogs, etc.
This is of course true, and the extreme aversion to private equity buying houses versus any other investor such as a person buying a second house to rent out, has puzzled me.

Those small time landlords have been the worst landlords I have ever had. Give me a large corporate landlord which knows that laws exist and at least tries to follow them over the greedy, ignorant, and desperate small-time landlord any day.
Ohh, so that was the image I saw there. Good to know.

If this was the case, why Jewish practices from Eastern Europe and the Middle East/North Africa are so aligned?

And even communities that are even further away like Ethiopia, Yemen, and India, are mostly following the same pattern?

Modern Judaism is very much connected to the state of affairs of ancient Israel/Judah from 24 centuries ago.

That's for a court to determine, and I'm sure it takes several weeks at least for something like this to make its way through the court system.
It's not nonsense, people are following all the rules and then having some thug with no ability or willingness to understand the situation revoke their visa. This can and will ruin lives I don't see how you're not seeing the problem here
I think, it is much more to do with the fact that audio or visual way of consuming information is so natural that you can sometimes go with the flow.

It helps me to be much more aware of the information being consumed, exactly because reading is an unnatural and learned way of consuming information. You can definitely do the same with audio medium, but books make me aware of where I am in the process much more than former.
it is not that people would chose svg inside react/vue but that people want react/vue to manage svg for the same reason as we use react/vue to maange html
Why would anybody pay any more with that extra money from the bank, unless there's a supply shortage?

There is no leverage for sellers to demand excess new money unless there's a shortage.
What determines housing prices? The seller and to a much lesser extent the buyer.

How does the seller set the price? To what they feel is market price.

You can flood the market with new houses all you want but if the construction company isn't selling at a lower price than existing houses in the area, and they won't be, that's not going to push prices down. Because it's not a traditional commodity. Beyond that, it's pretty much an open secret at this point that new construction is a lower quality house at a premium.

Only a minority of people are in such a rush to sell that they are going to sell their house at a loss or even a perceived potential loss vs expected market price. Many people are willing to just sit and wait for the right buyer even if it takes years.

The big difference between houses and a traditional commodity is that holding one even when you want to sell can still be a net positive. You can continue to live there, you can rent it out. It just doesn't have the same motivation to sell as a traditional commodity.
> This isn't a Trump thing.

For my part, I'm saddened that I can't put up w/ iOS and its limitations, so use Windows on a Samsung Galaxy Book 3 Pro 360 since the closest thing to a successor to the Axiotron Modbook is a MacBook paired w/ an iPad and I hate the Apple Pencil and Sidecar not being as good as Duet enrages me.

Maybe Apple doing a folding MacBook à la the Lenovo Yogabook 9i will finally get me back (bought a 128K Mac when I was younger, and still miss my NeXT Cube).
What counts as real linux? Is it that it runs a linux kernel, or runs a linux-libre kernel, or has a desktop linux user space as opposed to the android user space or a GNU user space, is it because real linux is meant to be unpopular such as desktop linux being unpopular while android is popular?
Yes, and exceptions from the norm get extra publicity when it fits a press narrative.

fd does that for English only. See the III/iii case in my comment; iii capitalizes to İİİ in Turkish, there's no way to have fd respect that.
You forgot cheap, that's a criteria for most people. People on HN tend to be higher income then most, so money is not as important factor.

Both can be true at the same time, and are:

Housing costs in the US are much more complicated than consumer supply and demand measurements indicate

The US housing supply is embarrassingly ancient, overpriced (especially considering condition), and deficient in volume (especially given quality).

You don't really have an argument when $1500 gets renters baseboard heating in a 40+ year old building in a secondary city.
I stand corrected, I was thinking some powerful ruler(s) did not like pork, thus the taboo.

But seems I was way off, seems many possible reasons emerged and eventually politics may be the reinforcement that made it permanent.
I was certainly not going for an agressive tone. I'm trying to say that police all over the world will want to know whom they are talking to, especially if you're a suspect. I don't think it's a world of difference between the US and an "average EU country" there.
If you’re having trouble remembering the order of arguments to ln, remember that it’s the same way around as cp. Worked for me.

That is, if before there is something at /some/path but not /another/path , after running

ln /some/path /another/path

there will be something there (same as cp).
Claude won't train on your inputs, even for free trial accounts. That's clearly spelled out in their terms: https://www.anthropic.com/legal/consumer-terms

> We will not train our models on any Materials that are not publicly available, except in two circumstances:

> 1. If you provide Feedback to us (through the Services or otherwise) regarding any Materials, we may use that Feedback in accordance with Section 5 (Feedback).

> 2. If your Materials are flagged for trust and safety review, we may use or analyze those Materials to improve our ability to detect and enforce Acceptable Use Policy violations, including training models for use by our trust and safety team, consistent with Anthropic’s safety mission.

You have to read the terms carefully for everyone though, it's frustratingly hard work to keep up with these policies.

Anthropic do have a very interesting way of analyzing usage of their tools without exposing any data to their researchers: https://simonwillison.net/2024/Dec/12/clio/
There's also some fundamental limitations to the Desktop MCP experience that are probably never getting fixed; Claude Code can spin off subagents and play around with the context, I assume that Claude Desktop's form factor is basically going to stay the way it is until the end of time lol.
Is this a community-driven project, or is there a company behind the project?
Perhaps you have just found your niche. Like the person who reads romantasy or the person who reads history, you like engineering and existentialism (not an uncommon pairing) and you get something out of it.

From the age of 20 to 38, I had a hard time reading books. I grew up reading Tolkien, Dan Simmons, Timothy Zahn, but the internet exploding in speeds and online content replaced my reading habits. So I moved to just read that.

I recently got back into reading books by trying books I used to read. I'm fine with Tolkien, but I couldn't stomach 3 chapters of Heir to the Empire. Star Wars was just boring to me now. And I found that I like mystery/spooky books more than I did before. I can still read Tolkien and Hyperion without a problem and I also like my nonfiction software/hardware stuff too.
You don't think the EU would like to see Orban gone? Do you think the election of Tusk in Poland was completely organic?
The rivers of ink and all the gymnastics we do to avoid saying the obvious: Houses/Real Estate has become the main asset where most people store/keep their wealth.

It has been this way for quite a few time, the banks like it, the boomers love it and the local governments can't live without it.

The chickens are coming home to roost on this one, and I'm talking about society in general not just a"correction in the housing market" at this point that is more or less meaningless when looking into the big picture.
When you have the owner of the company which provides your space flight lying about spaceflight and nasa, calling the commander of the space station an idiot, and the president making total lies up about the entire process, you can't be apolitical.
Yes they arrest them and throw them in jail but not offshore jails. I was wrong about that, I checked with my friend.
I guess I was thinking it as a kind of spiritual exercise, rather than something you do to make anyone happy with your smiles... The smiles mean nothing, really. What comes after that is what I find special. It's about taking proactive steps into growing that love, which is both universal and personal, instead of requiring circumstances to guide you there by the hand. Which it wont. Unless you're in a war, or something.
The pig taboo and the cannibalism taboo may both be grounded in the folly of eating carriers dense with the same diseases that we are vulnerable to. It's the same thing that makes pigs good research animal models of human disease.

It is even more deep that this.

Archeology tells us that common people of ancient Judea/Israel were more flexible in their practice than post-Roman orthodoxy implies.

From Asherah statues to an entire Temple (Elephantine island on the Nile) working in parallel to the Jerusalem Temple.

The matter of strict adherence as a National identity/religious practice became important following the Diaspora following the Rome-Jewish wars.
My deepest apologies.
It‘s so sad that this happens all the time. People have valid arguments based on facts and then continue to tell stories based on their opinions and values.
Why not just put the ramen in liquid-tight containers?
This story (as I said in a reply to the parent comment) is bunk, but institutional buyers do have a significant advantage over regular people in the form of access to cash. You have to get a real estate agent, find a bank that will lend to you, get your financial info together, probably have an in-person meeting, hope you get approved for a mortgage, and finally close the sale. Some junior trader at Blackstone can just wire the full cash price of the home and have the paperwork signed the same day.
Probably needs to be taken with a large grain of salt and might be exaggerated but I recently heard a claim (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKdtyDnGM-o) that the FHA program basically prevents a large number of foreclosures from happening as the government effectively keeps paying for loans where borrowers are already in default, and without the program many homes would be on the market again suppressing prices. If my understanding is correct the home owners get the interest payments made by the government tacked onto their mortgage so once they would go into default they would be faced with a home that is not worth enough to pay off the mortgage due to previously inflated market prices and all the added interest payments. Not sure if we have a new subprime crisis in the making here, it seems unhealthy in any case. But then again, never believe stuff influencers tell you on Youtube, so I take it with a healthy dose of skepticism.
Republican Ronald Reagan defeated Carter in the 1980 presidential election. Although Deputy Secretary of State Warren Christopher had completed negotiations under Algerian auspices to free the American hostages in Tehran, President Carter and Secretary of State Edmund S. Muskie, suffered to their last day in office. On January 20, 1981, the hostages were finally freed—but only after Ronald Reagan had been sworn in as president.

• Collect lead emails before Calcom/Calendly/Hubspot displays availability
• Direct Calcom/Calendly/Hubspot integration (calendar embedded)
• Optional: Instant call feature (Google Meet + Slack notification)
• Toggle features on/off

Demo: https://heymeet.pro/u/demo (Don't instant call me, please! hahah)

Curious to hear your feedback! Give it a try and let me know what you think
I’ve never heard or seen either of those terms before reading this thread. What you’re calling “CNAPP” I’ve been calling “endpoint security”. I’ve been building internal “CSPM” tooling since 2014 with like raw cloud api calls feeding into graphviz, CI-like tests in a terraform repo, transforming the state of a set of cloud accounts into a form I can shove into z3 and ask questions about, that kind of thing, but never heard it called that.

I suppose if your company prefers to build over buy, you won’t be exposed to the kind of knowledge and vocabulary that buyers in the space use to orient themselves.
That depends on how you're representing the speedup.

To travel 10 miles, at 60 MPH, takes 10 minutes. Make it 100% faster, at 120 MPH, and that time becomes 5 minutes. Travel just as far in 50% of the time. Or travel just as far 100% faster. The 90% speedup matches the reduction of the time it takes to nearly half (a 90% (projected) speedup, or about a 45% time reduction, as mathed out by kazinator `Projected speedup from both: 4.631/2.431 = 1.905`). Your claim that its closer to 50% is correct from a total time taken perspective, just coming at it from the other direction.
