It's not just about drivers in isolation, but what features those drivers and cards support. Support for older APIs for doing compute on AMD cards get dropped in newer drivers and newer APIs aren't supported on older cards. With Nvidia CUDA has been supported continuously for probably 15 years now, while in the AMD world you've been expected to throw out all your old code and port it to a new API every 3 years.
By the end of the day, most kitchen and laundry appliances are a bunch of electric motors, pumps, solenoids, compressors, resistances, buttons, switches, and sensors.

If this trend continues, we will have more and more people having bricked appliances as badly designed web services are inevitably sunset, as mobile apps without updates become incompatible with new versions of their phone OS and get delisted from App Stores by the manufactures. Or then, Wi-Fi standards will change, and the appliance won't be able to connect to the network unless you keep an obsolete and by then insecure hotspot just to serve it.

Given that, I wonder if there isn't going to be a business opportunity for creating after-market appliance controllers. Just a board that you can use to replace the one that came with your appliance, but without any factory-controlled web-service nonsense.

This is already a thing for split air-conditioner units. In fact, I even saved one with such an aftermarket board.

Some many questions!
Hi! Wanted to ask you a question in another thread, but it was an old one and already closed. Glad I could catch you posting.

It was one of your posts regarding von Neumann, where you listed books about him. What I wanted to ask is I remember reading one or two comments by his friends from after his death (one for sure, but the second one might be from the same person, I didn't know) in which they talk about his hidden parameter proof. What I remember is that they were like "well, sadly after his death he was attacked for his proof not being absolute, but of course he knew that!" I'm looking for this quote or a similar one.

The usual suspects are of course Ulam or Birkhoff, but it could have been someone else, Wigner I don't think so, but maybe. I can't find it.

So that's what I thought maybe you could help me with.

I guess they'll learn it as they come across it? "Oh Claude, my code is almost like a plate of spaghetti, how can I make it easier to add new features without breaking something else?" "Dear user, here is what technical debt and unit tests mean: ..."

Besides, all of us self-learned programmers mostly learned about those things the hard way as well, by experiencing the real drawbacks of not caring about such things until too late and stuff is already up and running with real users.

Google are bad at SPF and DKIM.

1. I tried responding to a Chromium bug tracker message by email a couple of months ago, and it failed me:

> Unfortunately, your email to create/update an issue was not processed.

> Reason: SPF/DKIM check failed. Please ensure your domain supports SPF (https://support.google.com/a/answer/178723) and DKIM (https://support.google.com/a/answer/174124). If your domain does not support them, please use the Google Issue Tracker UI (https://issuetracker.google.com).

Trouble is, this is simply not true. My SPF and DKIM are fine. This makes me wonder whether the email ingestion system is simply broken for everyone.

—⁂—

2. I got involved in setting up a Google Workspace for someone a few months back, and the entire tool that their own documentation instructs you to use to check things, https://toolbox.googleapps.com/apps/checkmx/, has been laughably broken for years, sometimes not working at all, but mostly producing misleading nonsense results (e.g. claiming domains have no mail server set up when they do).

Then, to make it even more absurd, the feedback link they give you, https://toolbox.googleapps.com/apps/main/feedback?toolname=c..., iframes https://docs.google.com/a/google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdnlp8..., but you haven’t been allowed to iframe such documents for I don’t know how long so it doesn’t load, and even if it did, it’s a private form that only Googlers, I suppose, can fill in. And there have been plenty of reports about all of this for years, and it’s still broken.

I mean, you're a big grown-up language with generic programming, why can't you:

https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/primitive.str.html#method.trim...

C++ can't manage to do this because it doesn't give its primitive types methods, it doesn't have a sensible way to talk about methods on types, and it always coerces to function pointers...

assert_eq!("123foo1bar123".trim_end_matches(char::is_numeric), "123foo1bar");

But it's pretty easy to at least do this:

assert_eq!("11foo1bar11".trim_end_matches('1'), "11foo1bar");

(Yes Rust does provide one that always trims off trailing whitespace, but that requires that you know, as Rust does, what the encoding is)

The human body is an amazing construction; it knows exactly how to run, it's more a question of letting it run its way as opposed to making it run the way you think it should.

The main issue with running for me is emotional. Like many others, I tend to overdo it; and then its not fun, which means I stop doing it.
The problem I personally ran into as a one person IT department was that the VP of marketing had more power over me, as a manager, and that meant more to my supervisor (the CEO) than me fighting to do things as correctly as possible. I was seen as a roadblock or speed bump. So, they may not decide on DKIM and SPF, but if marketing isn’t happy then their negativity could cause push back that forces changes that may technically not be good for the company.

I’ve abandoned that role and have gone back to an IC role and I’m much happier for it.
The current US administration isn't much interested in understanding how the system works, they are focused on the $$, which is what they do understand. Putting billionaires in charge of government is maybe not such a good thing.

I'm not sure there's enough consumers to fight back against this. Most consumers are too focused on other things to worry about being locked in or screwed over by appliance companies. Acceptance.

Indirectly, yes. Since they don't understand the details, management just "wants it to work". So too many email admins just give up and make their sending policies as permissive as they can to account for whatever new service marketing is using at the time.
I think Pagefind is focused on the whole experience of searching pages, like with default UI widgets, easy page indexing, and handling larger sites. fuse.js seems to be a fuzzy-filter function on JS data, not handling the site integration.

Maybe a dumb question, but have you actually reported the company to your DPA? I think the DPAs have some agency to perform investigations on their own, but currently they're mostly acting on user complaints, whistleblowers and self-reporting by the organization itself, so if none of the people involved (on either side) reports the organization, the DPA won't know where to even begin.

Seemingly you have a good inside view with clear evidence of breaking GDPR, so I assume you've reported this organization then?

Show HN: Statistics for Strava, a self-hosted service for better stats
Hi,

The last months I've been working really hard (after hours) developing "Statistics for Strava". It's a self-hosted web app designed to provide you with better stats.

The app includes, but is not limited to:

* Dashboard with various stats and charts

* Detailed list of all your activities

* Monthly stats with calendar view

* Gear stats

* Eddington for biking and running activities

* Detailed list of your segments and corresponding efforts

* Heatmap

* History of completed Strava challenges

* History of activity photos with slideshow functionality

* User badges

Feel free to check it out. I'd be happy to hear your feedback.

Was is David Attenborough's "Planet Earth"? There was a bit about a tribe that hunt antelope or some other kind of herd animal. After separating one from the herd, the human eventually "outruns" it. Not in speed but just tenacity, endurance — the animal eventually collapses.

Totally fair point — and one we’ve thought a lot about.

The goal with OpenSpot isn’t to force everyone to do more unpaid work or replace resumes entirely — it’s to give people who want to stand out an easy, high-signal way to do so, especially if they’re not getting traction through traditional means.

For recruiters, the platform is curated and searchable, so they’re not sifting through hundreds of TikTok-style intros — they’re seeing real signals of quality, with depth if they want it.

We're not trying to increase the noise — we're trying to cut through it.
There are studies you can find about it, for example: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11211751/

The simple way to understand it is exposure to nature activates some internal mechanisms that evolved with us through millions of years of species living in nature. In a similar manner it feels so good to go to a beach on a sunny day - you have exposure to earth, water, sun and wind.
Indeed swapping the images was easy and intuitive, I should have added that. The "ugly language" was a bit unexpected, as in general the support for Dutch is surprisingly good. Maybe the combination of the prompt and the translation, and the mixed used of languages. Perhaps if all the prompts were translated to a language of choice (an the user would be prompted for a language) it would work better. But maybe you never even considered making a multi-lingual tool, and just out of the box it more or less already supports that. This would have been unthinkable just a few years ago, truly amazing!

How do you combine a (full time?) teaching job with building such a tool? It feels way more than some hobby project. Congrats on the release!
You are 100% correct. The ad blocker works very well alongside uBLock Origin so I don't see ads on YouTube, Twitch or practically anywhere.
One of his best - read it close to when it first came out. The idea that there is some minimum work level required really reframed my view re: how networks proliferate.
I don’t need a citation. Just a simple explanation why it is so obvious and so beneficial.
Many of the acts I listed there were truly genre-defying, progenitors, originators and auteurs: I'd point to the Beatles, Sabbath and Zappa as some cases in point. For me it's a tough stretch to argue that any of them had a genre system disturbing the release of their soul's passions.

Sex and intoxication, two of life's finer pleasures, have for millennia been captured in art, song and poetry -- at various points in civilisations' rise and fall. Pearl-clutching around "disturbing" modern music is, I'm sorry, something that's been going on pretty much as long as there's been music.

Totally valid — if LinkedIn is working for you, that’s awesome.

The reason OpenSpot might "suck less" for some is because it focuses only on one thing: helping people stand out. No feed, no fluff, no algorithm — just a clean, curated profile where you can show off your skills, projects, and intent in a way that cuts through the noise.

And to be clear: you don’t have to record a video. That’s optional. Some people link to projects, write a short blurb, or just highlight their strengths in a more human way than a traditional CV.

It’s not a LinkedIn replacement — it’s an alternative for those who feel like they’re getting buried in the system and want more visibility without the social media layer.

Appreciate the honest question!

Finally, a comment that understands the concepts instead of insolently ranting about how useless it is.
Totally hear you — and I really appreciate how thoughtfully you laid this out.

Photos are not required on OpenSpot - We included them because some people want to humanize their profile — but we’re also very aware of the bias/discrimination concerns, especially in the U.S.

The intent isn’t to mimic LinkedIn or create a polished image-centric profile like a dating app — it’s to offer optional ways for people to show who they are, beyond just a list of bullet points. For some, that’s a photo. For others, it’s a project demo or a short intro about their work.

That said, we’re actively listening and learning. If we find that photos do more harm than good — especially around bias or UX — we’re open to evolving that part of the product.

Thanks again for the thoughtful take — this kind of feedback makes the product better.

To add to all the anecdotes I enjoy barefoot running to this day. I was never able to run with shoes very well and without them I run 10-15 miles a week at a 8:30 pace. Totally get it might not be for everyone but it helps me enjoy something I otherwise hated. I do wear what amount to rubberized socks[0] for puncture protection since I’m in a city.

I'm from Rome area (now I live in Colonna, 40km from Rome center) and the number of places I lived or people I know live which is directly connected/built along/into over ancient roman stuff is quite huge.

When I lived in Ostiense area, the basement of the building where we held bikes and stuff was an ancient roman storage facility from first century BC, the building was built over it. Same stones and everything!

When I lived in Colli Albani area (out of the ancient city perimeter and 5 mile-ish from downtown) the building was built around an ancient, still functioning acqueduct.

Where I live now, which is in the country side, my neighbor while building a new house found a Christian church from the 2nd century.
I have run barefoot and used minimal soles for more than 20 years, also using "normal" shoes from time to time, most of the time I use minimal, no heel soles. That is something I did when I started working from home long hours as heels were very harmful for me.

If you are thinking about doing it when you never did before, DON'T. You should be doing a progressive transition. It changes your knees, ankles and calves. It should take at least 6 months to a year.

If you don't do that, you will injury yourself. People running Marathons barefoot suddenly are risking a lot.
SPF/DKIM is really about mail server reputation. So it mostly benefits larger servers like the ones run by Google, Microsoft and Yahoo. Unfortunately, that means that attempts by those larger providers to combat spam using such reputation will naturally hurt smaller providers. So the actual effects of SPF/DKIM are on the whole negative.

The root problem is that we don't actually need to keep track of email server reputation. No one says to themselves "Huh, this is from a Gmail address, it must be legit". We really want to keep track of sender reputation. We need to be able to treat anonymous email differently than email from people we actually know. That implies that we have some work to do on the problem of identity. As it is, there is not even a way for a known email sender to securely introduce an unknown email sender. You know, the way that regular human people normally are able to transfer identities from one to the other.
It was very effective in the specific combination of urban landscape and shadows of Berlin. However the Brigade were only expected to fight there until being overrun by the NVA* ( East German Army ) so they didn't need to consider the camouflage's performance in rural areas.

All modern multi-terrain camouflage does incorporate some aspects of the Berlin pattern, particularly contrasting shadow.

* The NVA's commitment to wider WarPac strategy was questionable so the Brigade was intended to inflict both physical and philosophical damage upon them whilst fighting for their capital; once that objective was seized, it was hoped that the NVA would show little further interest in pushing westward. This was intended to reinforce the forecast reluctance of Czechoslovak and Polish forces and lead to the isolation of Soviet forces.
> I think most people understand there is a difference between launching a website and viewing a website.

No. Only if these people work in IT or somewhat interested. Most people will be pretty confused actually, they understand "starting\launching a business".

Many people are sure that you can create a website just by going into Gmail menus and doing some "techy magic".
The tech anti-intellectualism is different though. Like you see these kinds of posts that approach the subject as if no one ever has seriously studied it, and the tell is always that there's barely a scholarly work cited, but there's plenty of metaphors to describe how say, sociological phenomena work by way of "it's just like XY tech or business model."

Like I get the acclaim, if you're raised in this environment, the business tech vocab will feel more familiar. Is it a good / better way to describe the world than the established scientific field? No.

But reading the "Peasant and his body" by Bourdieu instead would not have the same... social coinage in tech as reading the influencer of the realm.
Awesome! I was thinking about implementing something similar for the Swedish government APIs to improve transparency and knowledge of the democratic processes.

As long as you're not breaking the law / hurting people, does the struggle really matter? The best way I've been able to make people listen to me is by just presenting them with options and results.

If you do it this hacky way - we run this risk and this bad thing can happen etc. After a few times they see the consequence of their decisions people start paying attention to you. Do it a few more and now the company will have an "institutional knowledge" that you are usually right, and even if the manager leave, you still end up like the go-to guy on how to ship.

And sometimes the marketing people might end up being correct! I've once actually battled to "do the correct thing" (way back in the day it was a ruby on rails modeling I think) and the product owner was like - just do it this hacky way I don't care ... I did it the hacky way and you know what - it was the right call - we never changed it again and the business knowledge we got from it was actually valuable.
