Multiple things.

First, I believe that focussing on health outcomes misses the mark a bit in this case; I see the main problem in the actions that were taken to intentionally and maliciously circumvent the regulations much more so than the actual harm from the emissions (because the excess was not multiple orders of magnitude, and estimates on the effects pale completely compared with general road fatalities too).

Second: There is a very adjacent historical precedent for this: Leaded gas. In the 1920s alone, 17 workers died from poisoning while producing fuel additives; by the 1940s, industry consortiums had the suppression of critical science down to an art (by publicly discrediting scientist, pressuring institutions and using law-fare).

You could make a strong ethical case in my opinion that a lot of people responsible for this should not just have been stripped of related profits, but actually put in front of a firing squad (millions died!). Absolutely nothing was done.

In the case of VW, on the other hand, they paid roughly a year of profits (double digit revenue percentage) and the CEO at least lost his job (not holding my breath for a criminal conviction though, which would've been very obviously deserved in my view).
Ask HN: I'm building to-do app for ADHD, what would you want in a ToDo app?
I have ADHD, and sometimes I spend too much time deciding what to do next. I have lots of things to do, but making decisions bores me. So I decided to create a to-do app that will calculate a score based on time until a deadline, the value of completing tasks, and difficulty parameters. And I'll do that first item by calculated score.

This is the basic idea, but I would like to hear from you: What would you expect from a to-do app?
Sure, but jq is very much a "front door" in your analogy. You'd have to look at each individual CVE to assess the risk for your specific case, but for jq, claimed security vulnerabilities are worth paying attention to.
This is worth a good giggle, as intended, but is just part of the normal space agency PR of doing relatable things like talking about using the toilet and video chatting with elementary students.

Because it’s hard to talk about the actual science being done and this is the only thing the public will pay attention to.

Poland has one of the bedrock economies of Europe and is the source of many excellent engineers and scientists.

The simple truth is that Europe lags because its common market is still quite fragmented so winner take all tech companies can scale much faster in the gigantic consumer markets of the US and China.
it's pretty important too for consumers when they live among non-Apple folk

it directly leads to subpar UX when they can't communicate with others, can't share files/battery/photos/cables.

Europe's emissions have been mostly flat since ~2014: https://www.iea.org/regions/europe/emissions

The lack of reliable winter-time generation is now slowing down the adoption of heat pumps. I'm most familiar with the German situation, and it simply can _not_ transition to heat pumps because there's not enough generating capacity. Even though heat pumps are more efficient than just directly burning gas for heating.

So Germany had to outright _subsidize_ new natural gas power plants. But it's all fine because they pinky-swore to make them "hydrogen ready".

A better market response is to add _capacity_ markets where operators can buy committed generating capacity. This will de-incentivize adding of cheap low-quality generation, and provide a market boost to energy storage and/or nuclear.
1. You use nuclear power plants for base load. Which they can provide, unlike renewables.

2. Nuclear power plants can load-follow. Unlike renewables.
I've been pondering -- at the same relative point, what are/were people more bearish on, the 2008 housing bubble or the 2025 AI bubble? This doesn't mean that AGI isn't real, but there are plenty of examples in history where everyone sort of believed the same lie. I wonder -- what are the true "original" sources of opinions, and how many of the opinions you hear repeated in the news are incestuous? Like most journalists are certainly not opinions of people with on the ground knowledge, I'm thinking the recent NY Times opinion column by Kevin Roose. And so like everyone says "I talked to a bunch of people, and they all said." And then it's "You haven't seen what's in the OpenAI labs"

And what we have now is amazing, but like, what is the tipping point?

Super simple Python connectors for llama.cpp with vision support (Gemma3, Qwen2)
I really like llama.cpp for the ability to run models very well across several GPU generations (I use an old server with Nvidia P40s and a gaming rig with a 4090). I love to play with different quantizations and model finetunes that keep bubbling up in HuggingFace, and llama.cpp gives me the most flexibility to tinker with them.

But it's quite hard to keep up with newer developments from the llama.cpp repo if you're a Python dev -- you depend on llama-cpp-python/Ollama/etc to update their backend to the newer versions. It's also a bit of a pain that vision models aren't supported by llama-server yet. I feel there's so much we can build with local vision models that aren't there yet because the backend to run them is not keeping up with the models.

So when Gemma3 was launched with an experimental vision CLI for llama.cpp, I decided to something about it.

I built llama-cpp-connector as a very simple repo sitory that could keep up with llama.cpp's new launches AND give me a way to Python code that uses the current vision models available in llama.cpp. I hope this is as useful to you as it has been for me so far.

Feedback and criticism is warmly welcomed!
> Yes the internet will become a slum of AI robots and loners

That has already happend. Though the algorithm(s) trained the lonely humans to do it. Happening right here, right now.
I don't claim that there are hundreds of examples of this.

My claim:

- A: today, the left, broadly construed, insists that there is a right for transgender women to go into women-only spaces, including nude spas. For my point, it doesn't matter how often this "right" is exercised - merely that the left asserts that there is such a right.

- B: this was not true of the left 6 years ago (or 45 years ago).

- Consteval's claim that the left is merely defending "settled," uncontroversial rights that trans people have had for decades is therefore wrong.

Evidence for A:

In 2021, a 52 year old sex offender who had been convicted in multiple instances of indecent exposure went into a nude spa. It caused a huge controversy with dueling protests and counterprotests.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wi_Spa_controversy

In San Francisco, a Russian nude spa announced a policy that 1 night a month would be "ladies only" for people who were assigned that sex at birth, to provide a "phallus-free environment." For that decision, they were investigated by the San Francisco Human Rights Commission. They reversed their policy after this intervention.

https://web.archive.org/web/20250307232755/https://www.sfchr...

https://sfstandard.com/2025/03/12/archimedes-banya-ladies-ni...

In Washington, a Korean spa which requires nudity for some services restricted people from male genitalia from entering the facility. A transgender woman with male genitalia was denied service at the facility and sued: https://www.courthousenews.com/after-banning-trans-women-was...

So it seems to me that either:

- transgender women without bottom surgery could go into nude spas in 1970 without issue, or

- I'm wrong about A, and the left doesn't actually insist that trans women have a right to women-only spaces, or

- Consteval is mistaken, and people on the left are in fact pushing for more rights for transgender people that were not settled 6 years ago (or 55 years ago).

I'm asking for some evidence I'm wrong, you're just saying it doesn't really matter if I'm wrong - it's unlikely to affect me personally. Maybe! Nevertheless...

Neutrons can be used for these things as well. The advantage, say from x-rays, is attenuation is not by material density, where all metals will just look dark, but by thermal neutron absorption cross section. So boron might be dark, but metals won't be.

Muons are much nicer as you don't have to carry a neutron source around with you.

The renewables buildout is actually not "massively decreasing" these countries emissions.

Germany's emissions are largely flat, most of the little decrease has come from reduction in total electricity production. Emissions are around 10x that of France.

I don't think this is necessarily true in all countries. Here in the UK I see a lot of people using Xero & Sage, and micro businesses using Freeagent.
People in some places in the world get a lot of Europe bashing on social media. There’s demand for that.

They don’t spend enough time outside of where they live to be able to tell so they live in this kind of parallel reality.
Cryptocurrencies aren’t regulated securities. They arguably should be but this is a weird distraction from the question of whether someone who did make false claims in a regulated context should be held accountable.

Not necessarily worse IMO but that it's a painful process for mediocre improvements.
That's not a subsidy unless your definition of a subsidy is anytime the government gives anyone anything. It would be a subsidy if the state provided the private market with financial incentives to reduce premiums. That is not what they are doing. Instead, they are offering a product that the market doesn't want to provide, and bailing themselves out by increasing premiums when their genius move goes up in smoke.

>So policy makers can either just let people be priced out of areas with high fire risk, or they can subsidize insuring those areas. Neither option is a good one.

No actually option #1 is exactly what the state should have done. You want to live in a dangerous place? That's your choice, but you should be prepared to pay the price for it.
When the state offers these policies, they are encouraging people to live in harm's way. If those who died had been priced out of these areas, they might still be alive today - just living somewhere else.

Why do you?
The gist uses the orig tarball only, so skips the distro patch that selects the distro packaged libonig in favor of the "vendored" one. At least that's how it appears to me. I only skimmed the situation.

Or do you see something deeper that ensures that the distro libonig is actually the one that gets used?
For reference, uBO has a filter list called "Block Outsider Intrusion into LAN" which you can enable. That blocks all cross-site requests to local IP addresses, "localhost", and some other well-known locally-resolved hostnames.

Another attack vector is public DNS names that resolve to local IPs as well, like "lvh.me". I block these with a local dnsmasq instance and the "stop-dns-rebind" setting.

Still not sure if this catches everything, probably not. I really wish browsers would just block all of this by default and ask for permission.
There are children who are transgender today and they're not changing in front of other's.

I don't know where this delusional that dudes are just hanging brain around women is coming from. You're right, that doesn't happen. That's a conservative's wet dream. I'm sure you, and others, would be beyond ecstatic if transgender people were doing that. Maybe then, you'd have a smidge of justification for all this.

For the record, nobody actually cares if you're "buying what I'm selling". You're missing the big picture here. These people aren't a threat to anyone, and to suggest otherwise is un-American. You can either face the reality that lays before you, or you can continue to be ridiculed for having obviously false beliefs. The world around you doesn't rely on you "buying" anything.
This brings back memories of the bad old days on Microsoft Windows where only Microsoft applications had access to secret APIs. Nobody defended MS back then. Surprised to see comments defending Apple now.

Basic labor terms:

- Closed shop - must be member of union to be hired.

- Union shop - must join union when hired.

- Agency shop - don't have to join union, but have to pay a fee to it.

- Open shop - don't have to join union, but can.

- Yellow-dog contract - not allowed to join union.[1]

The two extremes are mostly illegal in the US.

Simple. It doesn't cause (genuine) outrage and it doesn't get them shut down. AOC for example, protested these private prisons during Trump's first term and went silent on them when Biden didn't close them.
I found this interesting, so I tried to test it:

On LC_ALL=en_US.ISO-8859-1:

$ echo $'O\xF0uz' | grep -E '^.{4}$'
O�uz
$ echo $'O\xF0uz' | rg '^.{4}$'

It strangely doesn't find anything at all:

$ echo $'O\xF0uz' | rg '^.*$' | wc -c

It only does once the $ anchor is removed:

$ echo $'O\xF0uz' | rg '^.*' | wc -c

Hi, I lead Chrome's Rust efforts. I think the Typescript folks made a great and well-reasoned decision.
This is also where I have landed. Gives you all of your nice IDE tooling alongside the REPL environment. No need for separate notebook aware code formatters/linters/etc. That they version cleanly is just the cherry on top.
I found Gemini Flash Thinking Experimental is almost unusable in an agent workflow because it'll eventually accidentally remove a closing bracket, breaking compilation, and be unable to identify and fix the issue even with many attempts.

"your impression", is true only in the Ruliad. Ask people who knew him back in the 80's... he never worked on anything on his own that has amounted to anything. He is a real life crank, crackpot and all around charlatan.

Mathematica is the product of 30 years of work on Macsyma and Maple systems at MIT and elsewhere, which he cracked its codebase, usurped and sold to an unsuspecting academic community back when only the likes of Bill Gates would do such as thing.

He also missed the entire LLM wave because he refused to open source WolframAlpha codebase and work with others in the NLP community.
SpaceX is and always has been funded by NASA. Congress simply doesn't allow NASA to do its own missions any more so it's been forced to add a middle man where it pays private companies to use its technology, infrastructure, and money to do the work it wishes it could do itself
Hopefully a new company will form to pick up the open source pieces and go from there. I wonder if Fauna tried to find a buyer - it seems like they have some valuable software but weren't able to make it work. Shutting down in 2.5 months is pretty aggressive. Good luck to the former customers.

I was expecting the migration guide to recommend some other options. I don't know of other BaaS document databases like Fauna. I guess Mongo, CouchDB, Couchbase, and traditional Postgres would be the first open source options to look for. DocumentDB for closed source but offered by a big cloud vendor (AWS). If you want to roll the dice again, then maybe SurrealDB or RavenDB.
> Other people are not expected to run minutes/hours long computation to see what the author intended

Arguably this is a good thing. You shouldn't distribute things you can't prove have the same results and one way to do that is to require others to run the same computations.
> interoperability with subpar user experience

I keep seeing this being touted by Apple users (and only by Apple users, whose vendor has been telling them this for decades now). Genuinely wondering if you have any source for this besides Apple saying so. Are there any examples of this? Where a better experience was explicitly possible because of a vendor lock-in? Or where one company, that competes in e.g. the market for watches or headphones while already controlling a large share of another market (like phones), was forced to open up their system and give competitors the same access, and then the market-controlling party's product somehow got worse by giving competitors the same access?

The `export` command can generate a rendered artifact if that's what you're after but there is also another avenue here, have you seen the caching feature? The one that caches to disk and persists?

https://docs.marimo.io/guides/expensive_notebooks/?h=cache#d...

This can automatically store the output of expensive functions, keeping the previous state of the cells in mind. If a re-compute ever needs to happen it will just load it straight from cache.

Another option is to run in lazy mode, documented here:

https://docs.marimo.io/guides/expensive_notebooks/?h=cache#l...

This will prevent the notebook from rerunning cells by accident.

We're thinking about adding features that would make marimo great for running long running batch work but there's not a whole lot I can share about it yet. If you have specific thoughts or concerns though, feel free to join our discord!

Although I'm not a fauna user, I like studying databases and query languages.
I've followed them since Jepsen¹ reviewed FaunaDB 2.5.4 back in 2019.

While their FQL looks useful, I can't imagine using a SaaS-only proprietary
query language in this age for anything other than a research proof-of-concept
to learn more about my problem before building a real product on an open platform.

Curious that Bob Muglia (ex Snowflake) is on their board. I believe he's
also on the board of Relational AI which is another SaaS with an interesting
but proprietary query language. Snowflake is a huge success in spite of
being proprietary because its SQL isn't hard to learn or use, but I can't
say the same about rAI. Makes me wonder how they will turn out.

Modern computers are complicated to build and to use for complicated stuff but they have been extremely easy to use for regular stuff since the late 90s.

Pretending otherwise is nonsensical, since the richest economies in the world depend on it and surely not everyone is at a genius level.

There are some things important and complicated that I don't understand very well but they are not about basic operation of relatively simple things. It's like saying operating a washing machine or using a knife is something special.

And I do understand people very well; in fact, much more than I wish, by necessity. Your average person is frustratingly basic to the point of being extremely annoying on top of boring. I just choose to not pretend and "be nice" anymore, because it just hides reality and doesn't help anyone.
The fact that we have some people designing complex computers or sending people to the moon while others are barely able to cook a meal is largely a testament to that.

You might want to get rid of your ideologies if you believe what I said is controversial or wrong. Most people, by statistical definition, are idiots. Technology just reveals that fact very clearly, it's as simple as that.
You should check out void tools search everything!
I feel like this is true but would be great if you could provide examples so we could get a better idea of why you think/know this.
Greenpeace must pay millions over Dakota pipeline protests, says jury
In a codebase heavily reliant on Optional it can be worthwhile to install NullAway just for the benefit of banishing that particular source of null. That doesn't help with dependencies of course (unless you are certain they also use a nullability checker), and calls to those will have to be wrapped with your favorite `null -> Optional.empty()` helper function.

The pain with allocation is temporary. It is one of the candidates to become value types.

On an FPGA integer adders are much more abundant than integer multipliers. So this algorithm definitely helps get more utilization out of the FPGA. Once the multiplier is small enough, say 3 bits by 3 bits, it can fit into several LUT6's.

What about adding a bit more structure and investing in a pattern language approach like what you might find in a book by Fowler or a site like https://refactoring.guru/. You're much of the way there with the naming and content, but could refactor the content a bit better into headings (Problem, Symptoms, Examples, Mitigation, Related, etc.)

You could even pretty easily use an LLM to do most of the work for you in fixing it up.
