> regime that controlled NASA

As far as I know the political regime of the USA was a democratic one last year.

The PR victory of a returning two astronauts (one of which called space her "happy place"[1]) who didn't take the ride home on a leaky capsule is rather minute and not worth a movie like the Apollo 13 mission. When them staying up longer NASA actually might have gotten more stuff done than if they didn't, even with Crew 10 starting with two empty seats in September.

The whole thing isn't as bad as Trump ordering the release of water in Northern California, but once more it shows that he wants to things purely for show with no regards to the consequences.

Everyone likes God, God wants you to pray. It’s quite easy to whip up opposition to anyone who gets in the way of that.

The calculated daylight even downplays the actual light at the high (or low) latitudes quite a bit. E.g. at latitude 60 there's a "nominal" midsummer night of about four hours, but it doesn't really get dark, as the light from the refraction is quite strong even with the disk not being visible.
I don't think I disagree, so this is perhaps a devil's advocate argument--to the extent a product is meant for somewhat general use, by integrating more perspectives during development, we might uncover blind spots and innovate in ways that resonate more deeply with their core audience, not less. Asking, “Whose needs might we be overlooking?” could be useful not because every minority requires a bespoke solution, but because overlooking them might mean missing opportunities to serve even the majority better.

From anecdotal experience with voice recognition software: early versions struggled with accents and also required training on your voice specifically, which limited their utility. Making models more flexible didn’t just help minority users with accents—I think it improved accuracy for everyone. Similarly, curb cuts on sidewalks, originally designed for accessibility users, now benefit parents with strollers and even those food delivery robots running around some cities.

Maybe one frame is to avoid unintentional exclusion? The pizza shop isn't obligated to, but could at least consider the fact that some people don't eat meat (or pork or whatever), and therefore keep the margherita on the menu to the benefit of everyone.

Yeah in the long run you might be right, but there will be lots of people looking for a quick opportunity. E.g. a content farmer trying to SEO. If Google punishes websites for serving AI generated content, you know where this will end.

One clear reason to use 128-bit instructions: naturally aligned 128-bit loads and stores are only atomic if encoded as EVEX.128 (or VEX.128 etc.).

The default auto-vectorization tuning for current Intel server CPUs using 256-bit registers, which is perhaps another counterexample.
I do wonder if there will be an evolution in language design, but I also think english is probably too easily fungible. Bi-weekly can mean both twice per week and once every two weeks. Which one should "bi-weekly" compile to. Maybe a centralized config? Is that config in plain english, or structured. and then probably fuggedabout it if you have both native and non-native speakers of english on the same team? Or I imagine in some companies non-english speakers are writing code.

If your language is non-deterministic it would really suck if your application compiled one way on Tuesday, and another way the next Tuesday.
Seven years later, and the sort of fan out/in behavior proposed here is implemented all the time where necessary but not considered a concurrency primitive. I think I remain more interested in the erlang/elixir process approach to concurrency. Practically that seems so much more powerful than anything else available today.
Google is the exception that proves the rule. Companies are fearful of using GCP exactly because of their terrible reputation of unreliability (and lack of even basic support).

No one fears AWS or Azure is going to shut down services they rely on (even if it happens in some rare cases).

I have used Karatsuba's & Winograd's Inner product [0] algorithm in my work for wide multi-simd integer multipliers and matrix multiplication HW for DSPs. The latter cuts down the MACs by half - n^3/2 instead of n^3. I think the paper talks about it's derivative - FFIP.

The issue is memory bandwidth. These techniques indeed help you save multiplier area however the performance is still bandwidth limited - you'd need to be able to feed more data per cycle to increase performance.

One thing the paper doesn't talk about is energy. For DNN, at the network level the energy consumed by integer macs is not that high. Localizing data computation would have a much more impact on energy reduction than optimizing MACs.

this is our 3rd pivot :) we've launched other products before such as Ledger API processing over $100m in txn volume a month and a PCI vault for fintechs with 1m+ users. However we took a hard decision to pivot again as we didn't feel like we'd achieve the impact we wanted in those markets.

It's a good idea to find out if the company you're working for is focused on growth or profit. If growth then run because it means the business model isn't profitable which means they will eventually reduce workforce and operations.
What's Inside Nvidia Dynamo: Open-Source AI Inference OS
NVIDIA’s GTC 2025 keynote introduced Dynamo, an open-source AI Operating System for large-scale inference.

NVIDIA Dynamo is built on a powerful ecosystem of open-source technologies like NATS, Kubernetes, Rust, PyTorch, and more. Each of these technologies is playing a crucial role in optimizing large-scale AI inference.

Dynamo specifically uses NATS for its high-performance messaging layer, leveraging its Pub/Sub, Request/Reply and Message Queue capabilities.

But NATS is much more than just messaging. At Synadia, the team behind NATS, we built an entire AI/ML workflow using only NATS:from handling data ingestion to model storing and training, and inference without any external dependencies.

Tomorrow at RethinkConn, we’re showcasing a live demo of this end-to-end AI/ML workflow at the edge, fully powered by NATS.

If you're into distributed systems, AI at the edge, or simplifying AI infrastructure, we’d love for you to check it out and hear your feedback. Join us for this free virtual event!

Most claims about Passkeys are "phishing resistant" not "phishing proof". This scenario is still more "resistant" than passwords: it requires a believable MITM proxy for a specific website that is also physically in someone's near-area network/personal-area network to pick up intentionally low powered Bluetooth LTE packets, and to click through a login flow that on most of these OSes/browser combos looks decidedly different ("remote login" instead of "real login"). Obviously that's still a threat model to consider, just as one should generally worry about logging into anything on a public Wifi, but the number of "ingredients" to get right on this phish attack is much higher than anything password related, and is much harder to scale (spearphish) because as amusing as it sounds to try to build a fleet of Raspberry Pis to blanket a public space it starts to get physically impractical.

This is a "I'm going to phish a very specific person's wallet in meatspace" attack, not a "I'm going to remotely phish anyone on the internet's wallet".

(It's also an attack we've already got mitigations rolled out in major browsers and more planned.)

A few observations & thoughts:

- With remote islands somewhere in the oceans, the last zoom level isn't very effective since the map will essentially only show the island you're supposed to identify.

- The map's resolution could be higher.

- The challenge (top right) doesn't work for me in Firefox for Android. It always tells me I have guessed wrong (as if I had accidentally tapped somewhere on the map) when in reality I haven't even made a guess in the first place and was waiting for the game to tell me which country to identify.

Sure maybe a one off for a moderate sum say <$500. However these bigger ones like over $10K are almost always over a long period of time with many transactions. At some point you have to make a choice to go with the delusion of the scam rather than face reality.

I've been a bit interested in this and have seem many interviews with the scammed people. Almost all of them admit after the fact looking back they made the choice to go along with it and at least were partially to blame from their own perspective.

I find the entire social dynamic interesting.

Middleman doesn't sit right we me. We're not interposing ourselves and imposing the need to go through us.

People have wished to do away with computer code specialists ever since they found out computers could do things for them. But what make computers useful - their ability to be very exact and to do a lot (and I mean A LOT) of very exact things very quickly is the magic.

You can't wish for very complex things done in a very exacting way but not needing to be exact yourself. You can hire people to do that for you. But thinking that you can somehow get a computer to be very fast and very exact for you without needing other people to go through the effort of being very exact about thoughts and language is just magical thinking.

Software that can make software will be more complex than the software it makes and will necessitate more people to have exact thoughts and conversations and writings, not less.

Isn't Windows click-to-focus?

AFAICT, it's not possible to directly access the menu, so it's still two steps:

- activate the menu

I find this faster on a Mac since the menu target is larger.

> As the author of ripgrep, I find this unconvincing personally. Have you ever tried to use `sed` with its `-i` flag?

I have. But that’s one inconsistency and an edge case I rarely need to worry about.

Plus we are talking about grep here, not sed. I created my own “sed” because I got fed up with dealing different implementations of existing seds. If others use it or don’t use it then that’s their choice, not mine.

> As for whether flags are consistent across different tools, well that's a total crapshoot. `find` uses `-L` for following symlinks while `grep` uses `-R`. Ironically, both `fd` and ripgrep use `-L`, so they are more consistent than the relevant superset-plus-POSIX tooling on at least that front.

UNIX tools are a mess too. My point wasn’t that their flags are more sane than modern tools. It’s that I’ve already committed to memory the flags for the tools I use daily.

> Each one cost me about a Sunday and a half, but they've been paying rewards ever since

I spend my free time writing open source tools that solve problems I run into (like fixing the limitations with existing UNIX shells, and presently writing a new terminal emulator with a ton of features existing ones neglect). So I don’t have time to learn new tools to solve problems I don’t have.

Edit:

I just want add to my previous comment that some of my open source tools do make use of your fantastic Go libraries, such as the Unicode width library.

So I’ve really valued your contributions to open source even though I don’t personally use ripgrep specifically.
I don't follow your logic - surely communicating from behind a mask encourages rudeness, no? Your comments seem to focus only on the recipient's authenticity or maskedness.

I am the friend that helped build this. We would love anyone's thoughts or feedback! There are still so many ideas and improvements we have planned for the future, if the concept progresses in the direction we hope it will.

This was our first time building something, so there was a lot we learned along the way. Along with SwiftUI for the client, we used a lot of Swift on the server. For the server, it felt like the Swift ecosystem is 95% there. Good frameworks for AWS. Decent for caching. Foundation was helpful, but the transition to Swift Foundation adds a little friction. Overall, it seems like it was a good direction despite some of the rough edges, and it will only get better.

Let us know what you think!
Sub-pixel anti-aliasing requires outputing a pixel-perfect image to the screen, which is a challenge when you're also doing rendering on the GPU. You generally can't rely on any non-trivial part of the standard 3D-rendering pipeline (except for simple blitting/compositing) and have to use the GPU's compute stack instead to address those requirements. This adds quite a bit of complexity.

> While I agree with you, it is observably true that many people take different positions on the issue and then demonize those who disagree with them, converting it into a partisan issue.

Sure, but you have to draw a line somewhere. Even on HN, there are opinions that you can't express (repeatedly) without being banned, even though there are clearly people with such opinions. Otherwise it's the Nazi bar problem - everyone who's not a Nazi will eventually leave.

Where exactly to draw the line is left as an exercise to the reader, but I suspect that some people just don't like where the line is currently being drawn.
For C with generic types, I think one should pick up Zig. It's exactly that, it's a low level language with manual memory management, but it allows you to do generic types like this without hacks.
OK, so you phrased your criticism very narrowly toward "lots of these Rust CLI tools," but in actuality, your criticism applies way more broadly than that. Likely to just about all of GNU's tooling, for example. And probably BSD's and busybox's tooling too. Even busybox isn't above implementing POSIX+some, and AFAIK none of them provide a strict "POSIX only" mode.

Which is fine, but now your position is more "old man yelling at clouds" than it is something specific about the Rust tools. (And to be clear, I'm not above yelling at clouds now and then.)

> Also, not having a mode giving it POSIX grep compatibility really flies in the face of that claim

No... it doesn't? ripgrep being compatible with the Unix philosophy is not the same as it being POSIX compatible. I didn't say you could use ripgrep in any place you could use grep in a drop-in compatible way. I said you could use it in shell pipelines. As in, it inter-operates with other tooling in a Unix-y way.

And besides, I don't know of any grep that has such a mode. How do you know you aren't using a grep flag that isn't available in other grep implementations?

> But I really see them as optimizing for/targeting the VSCode/Zed crowd, instead of the vim/emacs one, if you know what I mean.

Nope, I don't. I've been a vim (now neovim) user for decades. And neovim even uses ripgrep by default over grep if it's installed.
Thank you! I was actually hoping the original article would get into the Shakedown "economy" that surrounds Phish and other jam bands.

Many, many times in historical research the "primary source" (I'm using your definition here because in historical circles the primary source is not always the original artifact or document) is lost to time. It's then up to historians, anthropologists, and other researchers to figure out whether the artifact in question actually existed and whether there's agreement among other sources on what it said.

In historical research at least having a primary source like the "actual letter written by Jefferson" is often rare and only found in more modern historical sources preserved by stable institutions. A great example is the Library of Baghdad where we know many texts existed but we still don't know the breadth of all the available texts nor their contents.
