cost and power and latency.

The rp2040 is fabbed at 40nm. It's _really_ expensive to fab on things closer to the cutting edge, and the volume of rp2040/2350 sales simply isn't enough to justify it. (Also, it's harder to design and ends up binding you more tightly to a fab). At 40nm, adding 1MB of SRAM would literally make the chip more than 2x larger, which would increase the cost by quite a bit -- and probably make the SRAM slower. You can see a die shot / layout here:

https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/rp2040/

Notice how much of the area is already SRAM. That's hefty. It would make the chip more expensive without much of a corresponding return on applications enabled. People who need more SRAM can add an external SRAM if they need it.
True. But why? Why should Apple spend a bunch of money hardware certifying, and adding liability? There was a compelling reason to add HDCP -- content makers required it, and had criminal penalties as threats to go after infringement.

Apple doesn't need outside ecosystem builders here; what is the business reason for them to add process expense, risk, and possibly incorporate timelines from other vendors into their supply chain?

As the many comments in this thread indicate, lots of people seem to feel Apple "owes it" to the world to open up. Happily, there is a (more) open ecosystem available with Android for people who value that. I don't think the tradeoffs Apple makes are perfect for me as a consumer, but I prefer them to the Android tradeoffs, and I can always switch when I like.

First of all, it's about an entrepreneur traveling to the US for a startup, which is directly relevant to a significant proportion of YCombinator founders themselves.

Beyond its direct relevance to the core founding audience of HN, it is not clickbait or wantonly inflammatory, and is clearly of interest to many based on the comment activity and votes.

I guess this is why their market share grows and grows, because the product is terrible and the competition is amazing.

Or maybe reality is the opposite. That android phones that are supported by their vendor for maybe a year or two, have terrible battery life, allow any and all spyware, and generally suck aren't really comparable to the iPhone which effectively does the exact opposite? Or do you love being the product at Google?
They're gearing up to reduce other regulations. They can more than make up the funding by cutting costs.
> Similar to other commenters I disagree. You can definitely read without parsing and just “move on”.

What do you disagree with? Nobody said that reading makes you immune to moving on without understanding.

What they said was that while reading it is possible to pause if you don't understand something and move on when you are ready to move on. That's harder to do in videos or lectures. Do you disagree with this?
> I’ve been to the U.S. a hundred times and nothing has really changed to make me blink at continuing to go.

Let's hope you never get unlucky, it only takes one border agent having a bad day after all. I've been to the US many, many times and as I said I no longer consider it safe, but we all have different risk tolerance levels.

> when it’s objectively far safer than visiting any all-inclusive hotspot in the Caribbean

I don't visit those places either.

Cry to someone else about how it's all media based fear while ignoring the very real changes in attitudes, policy, and atmosphere, but I personally see no reason to take the risk when I could...just stay in Canada and be safe.

Ah yes, the killer was planning his kill for some time and when he decided to do it, Franz Ferdinand changed his usual path. The killer was disappointed, went to get something to eat and met him by chance (well, for him at least) while he was eating.

After asking my question I was wondering of you were not referring to the attempt to flee the country by Louis XVI (who was stopped at Varennes because he was recognized after chatting around instead of sitting still in the cart)
The US auto industry is protected via tariffs. It would implode if those were lifted.

Currently, it seems the tactics are scaring people who already arrived and are residents. Is that also a good thing or just unintended consequence of trying to scare away the dangerous outsiders?

The thing is, Iran and China aren't threatening to invade bits of Europe or Canada. If you take what Trump says at all seriously, then the US is clearly more of a threat to _Europe_ than _Iran_ is.

I GUARANTEE the MAGAts and conservative media wouldn't blame Rand Paul for the ensuing market crash and recession. They'd blame it all on the government shutdown caused by the Democrats. This way the MAGAts are forced to wallow in their shit with no one else to blame but themselves.
> However, the US has long been very clear: constitutional rights only apply to citizens.

Nope, most of the constitutional rights apply to all people under the jurisdiction of the US. It's why the Bush administration set up Guantanamo--to try to evade any hint of constitutional protection, and he still failed that. (Of course, as Guantanamo also shows, the remedies available to people whose constitutional rights have been grossly violated by the government are quite lacking.)

Yeah, "no one wants to outright explain what happened" is called "chilling effects" and is one of the explicit goals of an authoritarian regime like the one we have in the US now.

Nobody wants to get fired and get death threats just for speaking plainly, so most people don't. Every once in awhile someone will decide it's worth the cost, but most people most of the time will decide it isn't.
My friend went to University of NSW early 2000s and she said when her friends disappeared for a while, they knew they were caught by the border patrol and deported because of some sort of overstayed visas. They all knew how aggressive Australia was at enforcing visa violations. Maybe they changed the process since then but she said everyone knew they sent visa overstayers to the offshore jails to scare them and send a message to everyone else.

CORRECTION: you are right. I got my story mixed up so I was wrong. It’s illegal immigrants who arrived by boat that were sent to offshore jails. My friends friend was sent to a regular jail. He had a student visa and stopped going to uni so he got arrested and deported because his visa got cancelled.
So are many jobs. Many students do them, many people do them as an inbetween thing while looking for a better job, etc.

I get the desire to replace all no skill jobs with roombas and drones but some people need them and some even enjoy them.

A friend did over a year of grocery deliveries with a cargo bike recently and outside of the career growth issues he liked it a lot. Physical exercise, lots of free food and decent pay including tips.

It's important to remember that before Jan 20, 2025, the astronauts had a way home and had not been stranded by anyone. This is known and is a fact.

Then, sometime after that date, Musk stranded them. Considering his working relationship with Trump, one can assume that Trump decided that this was acceptable. So, President Trump and Musk stranded them. We know this is true because President Trump and Musk said they were stranded. If they said they were stranded, it meant that the plan in place had been pulled, and the only people that could do that were Trump and Musk.

Sometime after that, they elected to rescue them again.

If you take President Trump and Musk's word, they abandoned the astronauts at some point. The only way this is not true is if they were lying to the American people.
>So market cap is based on exaggerations and lies.

Market cap is defined by whatever stock buyers decide to justify their purchase. If people keep buying the stock to get it to the moon because of whatever hype, what else matters?
Tesla could complete with BYD if they weren't slipping into a global political crisis while simultaneously manufacturing vehicles that remain unaffordable to the majority of buyers.

Pulling a $19k Model 3 (delivered) out of the air is the only solution I can see. Musk will be forced to step aside if the sales continue to slip into Q3. They certainly will lose money on each delivery, but they will survive until the robocar tier is ready.
> do I just flag everything on the front page too?

Well, if it's all spam/off-topic, I guess flag it all. But unlikely it's all spam, this story certainly isn't, so not sure how it got flagged. Feels extremely relevant to various people who go to conferences, events and even just want to vacation.

> Please don't complain that a submission is inappropriate. If a story is spam or off-topic, flag it. Don't feed egregious comments by replying; flag them instead. If you flag, please don't also comment that you did.

Edit: Since someone commented the "If they'd cover it on TV news it's offtopic" line from the rules but promptly deleted their comment, this is the section that might relevant too:

> Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, or celebrities, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.

I'd personally consider lawful residents getting sent to detention-centers for no good reasons being "they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon", but we all think differently I suppose.
Wasn't it their responsibility to leave on their own?
If this woman ever sets foot in the US again, I will have absolutely no sympathy for her.
That's Europe's normal practice for retaliatory tariffs, pretty much; the EC did similar during Trump 1.0.
But when people talk about Zionism they don’t just mean “Israel should be a country” — that’s been a moot point since 1948. They’re referring to a stronger form of nationalism, god-given right, ethnic supremacy, violent suppression, etc.
Yup, that's insane, all of it. Anything that is visible with the human eye or a reasonable camera (i.e. no 1200mm superzoom into someone's residence where a painting hangs) from the open street or any area accessible to the general public such as parking lots, airports and the likes should be freely redistributable.

It's the other way around. Since Clinton the Democrat party has become more and more republican-like. Now they are economically the same, and the only differences left are social signals. Both parties favor corporations and profit over people.

Trump has wielded the (understandable) disgust that people had with that system, pointed at the Democrats and made them the enemy. And then is lowering taxes for rich guys and cutting benefits for millions.
I struggle to understand what is Musk's endgame here. 95% of Tesla's client base is (was) upper-middle class liberal/left leaning professionals. He spent the last 4 years relentlessly trolling and ostracizing these people, and then seemingly went full loony with nazi salutes, re-tweeting far right accounts on X and to top it all off he endorsed the far right political parties in Europe, which really pushed the nail into the coffin.

The US admin who was championed by Musk wasted no time to cancel EV subsidies and investments into charging infrastructure and is currently pushing "beautiful, clean coal".

This seems like the most braindead, schizophrenic, and short-sighted set of blunders I've seen in my life. A child would've been able to predict what is going to happen. So I'm really stumped. He cannot be this stupid, surely? He cannot be this ignorant of the impact of his own actions? Is he really so deep in an echo chamber that he thought the Tesla gravy train will just keep going?

Tesla as a brand is basically dead in Europe - one of his biggest markets. There's no salvaging this. No comeback that he can engineer.

Maybe he saves his bacon in the US by enough government money grift to keep Tesla alive, but he'd have to do a ridiculous amount of it to keep the dream of >100 PE ratio valuation going.
It is definitely harder to automate than SMS. Very large companies exist only to provide API-backed support for automated SMS.

In contrast you need to hook into Apple APIs / scripting / sqlite databases on trusted apple hardware in order to automate iMessage.

You imagine "Pebble" as one company and say "how hard can it be to turn this on?" As I said in the original comment, it's not that it's hard, it's that it can only be turned on for everyone and that will create a security issue that WILL have a substantial impact on the ecosystem. I didn't say, but believe it to be true that the alternative -- a vendor security assessment program covering software, hardware, architecture and cloud security is not worth Apple's time or money to do. I don't think they have any business reason to do so.
I cannot say what works for other people. For me, unless I’m reading with my eyeballs, taking notes, and working examples, I’m not really convinced I’m learning anything difficult.

I'm a huge fan of Kagi, despite the price.
I switched one day when I realized that I couldn't bear anymore Google results that were full of advertisements.

But, I just noticed something crazy:

- I did try the same search as the one that is listed in the article "best headphones for running" in Google.com

Strangely, with my main chrome browser, connected to my google account, there was no advertisement or top banner with products at all for this search.

But, doing a slight variation, like "best headphones for jumping" or "best headphones for walking", then I would have a top banner with some products, kind of discrete advertisement.

But what is crazy, is that if I open a Private browsing session in chrome, or even just my chromium with my same google account connected (not using kagi), doing any of those searches, will lead to the result with a big "advertisement" top banner, where you see some products with price on different merchant accounts like amazon. And including for the search "best headphones for running"!
The official reason EU added tariffs on Chinese cars, was that Chinese EV manufacturers receive unfair government subsidies. This allowed Chinese cars to be priced lower than European cars.

So it was to protect EU car manufacturers (which are still struggling a bit with EVs).

I don't think it was US "soft-power". However, the EU may impose tariffs on US produced cars as part of the coming trade-war, which may hurt Tesla in future (or maybe not as they also produce Tesla cars in Germany).
I wish HR accepted payment in return for feedback.
Yes we agree then. Every country is strict at the border. That’s my point.
It's never safe to short - by definition. A penny stock can easily rally 100% in it's death-throes and take out the hapless short seller.

As a retail investor, I strongly advise against shorting. Can you make money? Yes. Is the game stacked and rigged against you? Also yes.

The best thing to do is redeem TSLA holdings and put them in other companies (or better yet, into a broad based index).

> Also it certainly can’t be the Nvidia driver since that’s not running anything in your process.

A huge chunk of a modern GPU driver is part of the calling process, loaded like a regular library. Just spot checking Chrome's GPU thread, there's dozens of threads created by a single 80+mb nvidia DLL. And this isn't unusual, every GPU driver has massive libraries loaded into the app using the GPU - often including entire copies of LLVM for things like shader compilers.
The only rational reason that I can think of is so that Musk and his associates can have full access to bugging the White House. It will probably also funnel some money towards him too for various service charges (it appears that the equipment is being donated for free).
no - it's a tiny fraction of the actual cost. so it's not "free" but it's massively subsidized to the point of being nearly free when it's a country paying for it

Show HN: AI-Powered Storybook Generator for Kids with Audio Narration
Hey HN,

I’m excited to share a project I’ve been working on for the past few months: an AI-powered storybook generator for kids that includes audio narration!

What It Does

Custom Storybooks: Kids (or parents) can input prompts like their child’s name, settings, and themes to generate a unique, illustrated storybook.

Audio Narration: Each story comes with audio narration, so kids can follow along even if they’re still learning to read.

Safe Content: The AI is carefully tuned to create age-appropriate content with vibrant, kid-friendly illustrations.

Why I Built It
I noticed how much kids love personalized stories and wanted to combine the magic of personalized storytelling with educational benefits and accessibility through audio narration.

How It Works

Enter basic story parameters (child’s name, setting, theme, etc.).

The AI generates a complete illustrated storybook.

The platform automatically creates audio narration with appropriate pacing and emphasis.

Stories can be saved or shared via a generated link.

Looking for Feedback
I’m looking for parents, educators, and anyone interested in edtech to try it out and provide feedback. What features would you want to see? What age groups do you think would benefit most?

Thanks for checking it out! I’m happy to answer any questions in the comments.
So, a 50 year old former "business manager in a government role" is now working as a delivery worker in Colombia, and the fact that the company gave him a loan for an e-bike (they didn't even provide it to him!) is listed as a "reason to be cheerful"?! I swear this is the most depressing thing I read this week so far, and that's something if you consider how depressing the news has been recently...

Huh. The IPv6 example is much more confusing that I initially thought. At this point I am entirely unclear as to whether it is actually an example of security through obscurity, regardless of whatever else it might be (a very bad idea to rely on it for one). Rather ironic given that the poster whose claims I was disputing provided it as an example of something that would be universally recognized as such.

Let this be a lesson to all those who think it's fine to unlock their phone and hand it to cops.
No they really wouldn't. Companies and fans would commission art. We pay our damn food service staff on “would you like to pay a little extra today” tips method. Don’t tell me, especially with zero justification, that creatives depend on the need to control who copies our society’s ultimately culture. There are absolutely other ways and we’re too scared to try them.
If you live with other people, they also need to exhibit digital hygiene, eg no point being all buttoned up if you have kids running who knows what they found on some site or a spouse who is running stock Chrome and leaking data to their collection infrastructure.

Convincing people to take on a degree of inconvenience for something nebulous-sounding like "privacy" can be a hard sell.
It works fine, I just dont want it. As was stated, cars are rolling computers but still want to interact with my phone for "reasons".

I'll take my older truck with proper in car navigation rather than my new commuter car that requires pairing with ever driver in my family.

If you want to give your car access to your phone, power to you.

There are already bad incentives and workplaces. They exist irregardless of this. What exactly does it create in this regard?

Is there any backing evidence that can be produced about this assertion?

Counter intelligence is also fairly vague and could mean a wide variety of things. Is there any specifics?
This was an engaging read and really well written considering the dryness of the subject matter. I enjoyed it.
Sounds like nonsense. Again, I asked in another comment for an example of some Rust “web” code that exemplifies what you are talking about. You mentioned “ergonomics”, and you mentioned “noob friendly”. I’d love to see some of this Rust code.

Show us, we’ll discuss.

I feel like some devs are so insecure that they really think , ugh, I can’t even fully explain the pathology of the Rust people without cursing them out.

You are not a better developer, that’s ALL I want to say to the Rust people. In fact, most of you are bad developers for doing what you have been doing with this language. You ALL must find a better way to show your intellectual prowess.
