Wait until the US properly wakes up and you'll see what negative can be on HN :)

> nor do I believe that it's possible to do that today.

Why not? Granted, a lot of the internet infrastructure is maintained by US entities, but it doesn't have to be that way, afaik. I'm fairly sure there are companies doing worse/better in this regard, but at least it's moving in the right direction.
A look How (and why) we built Question Assistant
The race to scale AI to unprecedented levels has exposed the limits of conventional data center networking. As AI workloads push computational demands higher, the industry faces a challenge: how to efficiently interconnect millions of GPUs while keeping power consumption and operational complexity in check. NVIDIA’s latest innovation—silicon photonics networking switches, aims to redefine how AI factories operate, opening new possibilities for extreme-scale AI deployments.
>Problem here is that we don't know what could have happened if USGOV had properly funded NASA and the sciences instead of cutting it back to the bone and then subsidising SpaceX.

Uh, SpaceX didn't come into being until 2002. And the Space Shuttle was not in any way cheap, nor a pile of things we did with it. Nor did the US Government in any way subsidize SpaceX, anymore then it "subsidizes" paper manufacturers by... ordering paper for its printers. It contracted with SpaceX for commercial services at a fixed price, and has saved billions and billions of dollars as a result. You seem a touch confused on timelines here.

And my entire point was that whatever could have been done, it wasn't. As I said, the government absolutely could have pursued other far fundamentally better concepts at the end of Apollo. Or it could have done commercial way earlier, getting out of the launch business entirely and working to switch over to a competitive private market 30-40 years earlier. What actually happened is that without the focus and level of discipline provided by a big ambitious goal and national spirit as a guiding star, more typical political incentives crept in and rapidly distorted the space program. Which resulted in enormous waste and stagnation as well as killing a lot of incredible people for no reason.

But regardless of how it happened, again the point is that it wasn't the scientific and tech environment that created a small window of a few years where inevitably practical economic mass launch designs would come about. It still took the right vision and right spark.
Show HN: Open-source project to convert FastAPIs to MCP servers

The word feminist is also a hard one to pin down. SOme people define it as just meaning believing in equality - but in a society where that is the consensus view (its not true of every society, but it is where I most frequently come across the word) that has little meaning.

I wonder what this would cost to have done. I have a relative that was left paralyzed after a spinal cord injury, would love for them to be able to try something like this.

Edit: looks like it has to be a pretty recent injury... "14-28 days prior"
We're speculating, but I think the key point is missed: SMBs likely contribute a negligible share of revenue, small enough that supporting them isn't worth it. Even if support seems minimal, billing issues and tickets inevitably arise, often handled by a different team, which cancels out any marginal gains.
Hi, Scott! Thanks for your response.

To be clear, I like the work you're doing. I definitely agree that the unit of review shouldn't be one commit at a time or every commit all at once, and I'm happy to see you invest in tooling that offers a better path.

>I think it's more interesting to build tooling that helps with the core problem rather than try to change people's attitudes. The problem imo is not that people are lazy, but that the review tooling is not good at the problem set of large changes that need to be introduced atomically.

I think it's both, but I think mindset shift has to precede tooling in this case.

If the team/org culture tolerates people just blindly LGTM'ing large commits, that's a culture problem at its core. Even if they have better tooling, what's motivating people to invest extra work to break up changes into small, logical chunks rather than continuing to just throw huge diffs over the wall if those get LGTM'ed with no pushback?

Your example doesn’t make any sense, because they could do it right now: most of the kids are never going to get a basketball college scholarship, everyone knows it, including schools, and they don’t care
>A 35% sales drop is pretty crazy.

It's not, if you realize they started the quarter with almost no inventory (12 days in end of December, which is nothing for an OEM with no dealership).

More importantly, they shut down the production lines for the Y model to convert them to the new 2025 Juniper version. That's 2/3 of their total sales.

You can't sell cars you have no produced, obviously. It's April-May that you have to watch for deliveries, now that they finally started shipping the new Y out of Texas.

FWIW, there was plenty of use for pumps earlier on - in mining. But muscle power, then water power, was sufficient.

Part of the steam engine's success was how it contributed to itself - it helped mine coal that would fuel it, and that would fuel furnaces in which steel was made, some of that steel going into... making more engines - and all of that moved around by means of steam power.

*Factorio vibes intensify*

You had to have enough pieces together: demand for coal and steel and moving them distances, sustained long enough to exhaust simple options, and become a problem the steam engine could solve. It was then that the steam engine turned this into self-reinforcing loop, and kickstarted the modern world.
What does the word "perhaps" mean to you?

The example given was just an example - and in fact, an assumption cannot be made that the light-bearers were intentionally trying to interfere in a photo session.

It is entirely unreasonable to think that strangers on a mountain will account for a random photography project in their thinking. So the blame game doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

The onus of responsibility for having a clear shot, obviously lays with the photographer. Just because a photo is being taken, doesn't mean that others can't access the public space, too ..
I think you are correct, for well educated critically aware individuals. For the larger population of uneducated, failed educations, and critically unaware individuals something like the proposed software could be a life raft, a life preserver for those with no one, providing their initial communications training to end that loneliness.

I believe a fair amount of loneliness is caused by a failed communications education - the struggling person cannot express their situation in a manner they are understood, creating a chasm they feel is impossible to cross. So they retreat.
What a strange move. By all means you should be banning residential and small business equipment because that’s best practice for a number of reasons. But to ban their larger units is nonsensical. They are entirely different business models, run with different profit motives. Pick the best tool for your business, don’t let other bullshit that isn’t relevant to the business affect your decisions.
I know this was sarcasm, but my experience is that I download much less with Debian's APT than I did with Flatpak.

I can think of two explanations: (1) Debian packages have more shared parts, and (2) they have optional dependencies ("recommends" and "suggests") which I disable by default. Because of (1), there will be many library packages to download, but the overall volume is reduced.

There's a ton of those platforms, varying from extremely unknown to fairly well established. I'm pretty sure multiple of them end up as a Show HN every year. The only thing on your list they generally don't do is domain registration, but keeping that separate is generally a good thing. Sibling mentioned bearblog.dev, I'll mention write.as[1].

How does this not fall under anti-competitive practices?
That’s completely untrue. The bureaucracy follows the rules Congress provides, and there are many checks on their power built into those processes both internal and via the courts.

The reason DOGE are asserting that they don’t need to follow the law is because the cuts they want to make are themselves in violation of the law, not because there’s no other way to do it.
There's nothing in the article that indicates they reached out - there is plenty in the article to indicate that the assumption of entitlement to the mountain was being made, in spades.
I believe historically CVs had pictures in Europe, and the "standardized" CV (Europass) still invites you to put one in[0].

Most people I spoke with said if you show up with Europass it's considered a negative flag, but I suppose it may still be useful for some "less modern" jobs.

This obviously will take a while.

On the other hand, I am mostly involved in startups where lots of tech choices need to be made from scratch. The startup I'm currently working for doesn't even consider US based tech solutions at the moment. And I think more startups that pop up nowadays will think twice before choosing non-EU based tech.

For anyone who liked Tom Scott videos, YouTube has been recently recommending to me (and to many others, it seems) an emerging channel from a creator called Chris Spargo [1], who seems to capture the essence of Tom Scott videos, even with the same schedule so far. A small video of a couple of minutes that explains a concept or talks about the history of something, and is recorded in different places.

It's very amusing that the parent comment, or anyone else for that matter, believes their credentials somehow are enough to quell us about any potential horrific implications.
Google, I suspect, would do the same, if you were in Texas coffee's origin would not get you the result that mentions Yemen, Ethiopia would be the first result. This is how I won a $100 bet with a Texan who insisted that google gave him Ethiopia. The trouble is, we were in the Middle East when asking google for the bet.
> is very difficult to implement.

It shouldn't be.

> that basically barely knew what info they stored about anyone

Aha, might have been the core problem, wouldn't it?

> It was virtually impossible to follow GDPR in that company

So, sounds like the regulation worked exactly like expected? If you're not following proper procedures for storing data, it should be hard to comply with a regulation that is trying to force you to have proper procedures for storing data.

A bit like complaining that fraud is hard because of those pesky police officers. Yes, this is the intention.

> The cookie-banner just seems like a very strange "security" measure

The whole cookie-banner thing is vastly misunderstood by companies, and at best just malicious compliance. Again, not the fault of the regulation but the companies who don't put users best interest first, but their own. Hard to blame them though, that's the purpose of their existence after all, most of the time.

Most of us work in decade+ legacy code made from a lot of people who are no longer at the company. So most of the code is brittle by default. That's simply the trend that emerged from a workforce that stopped incetivizing retention.

As such, I'd argue that 80+% of your problem solving for the first few years (AKA the only years before you hop or get laid off) is in fact asking other people what the quirks of the code-base are. Maybe that is bad, but it doesn't seem like the retention culture is shifting anytime soon.

This is a classic long tail issue. That segment of technically advanced, low-touch SMBs like yours absolutely exists—but it’s small, and hard to identify upfront. The problem is that the long tail as a whole tends to generate minimal revenue while driving disproportionately high support and product complexity.
Smartwatches include barometers because they enable elevation measurement far more accurate than than GNSS (GPS and GPS-alikes, they tend to be noticeably less accurate in the vertical than in the horizontal). In particular when both are combined: barometry for high frequency changes (going up a hill) continuously calibrated against a long term average of the GNSS elevation to filter out low frequency changes in barometry (weather influence).

But back to device could weather observation, this would require continuous GNSS, devices don't do that (network location would not be good enough).
In other words, the "10x programmer".
Thanks - usually I understand what my downvotes are for, and stand by them. This instance would have left me puzzled without this explanation.

I would have thought that a leader is judged by their results, and regardless of personal feelings for Elon - one can't argue that he managed to build SpaceX where many others would have failed. Could NASA have built something just as good? Possibly, but history doesn't do hypotheticals.
The network effect is strong, but it’s not unbeatable.

History has shown that new social platforms can thrive despite the “everyone is already there” argument—Facebook vs MySpace, Insta, TikTok et al.

I can’t predict how openspot will turn out, but I hope it or anything else doesn’t get caught up in the network effect narrative.

Sure, but that is 800bn that could have been spent on more meaningful things. People would be more happy to redeem that by their work..
Time to adopt Linux and other OSS? In some ways the experience is worse, but in some ways better. No Telemetry and none of the annoying ads being shoved into your face all the time. I still see software companies choosing to build on top of M$ tech stack and I cannot understand why. Why keep throwing money at M$ when a free OS is available!

edit: I understand why you would want to build on Windows if your user base is there. But why use it on the server side? The only reason I can think of is people who have only worked on Windows will keep using it, but at some point one has to get rid of this addiction.
It would also be nice to have a historical store of the weather predictions and not just instantaneous parameters. But I'm not aware of such record, perhaps because weathermen don't want a record of their (mis)predictions...

Its not even funny, its just dangerously naïve, on hacker news from all. I can bet half of my salary that absolutely none of those records are deleted forever, and even anonymization is probably very soft and reversible, if done at all.

I work at a bank, one of major ones. We have various regulations stating to keep client records for 5 years. We have trainings that specifically say that we shouldn't keep client records longer than 5 years (additional costs, generally just a risk without any reward).

Guess what - main core banking system's DB holding all client data and transactions is ever-growing, no data were ever purged from it in past 30 years. Nor will it ever happen in future. Too complex, nobody owns removal process, nobody rally cares about those data.

This is situation with 0 good reasons to keep data. 23 has massive valuation reasons to keep them. Its not what it can be used for now but the vast unknown potential in future, of data that are inheritable and thus useful for hundreds/thousands of years. Don't hold your/parent's breath, be reasonable in current climate.
The issue is not only usa getting far from europe - which on itself is ok imho -, just the fact that given an existing alliance - for which europeans fought war for the us in middle east and died as well - could have been reshaped with a slower rollout. It is unclear how much and how fast things will change, and unpredictability is worse than expecting a certain outcome (just like the markets don't like trump's unpredictability in economy).

I do not see why usa should be "thanked". We have been allies for decades and now this relations are being reshaped in a way that favors no one, while a slower approach to such sensitive issues might have yielded better results (i don't know how many countries still want to buy us weapons right now in europe, maybe a different approach would have meant stronger collaboration between ue/usa companies or maybe not)

No. Some actors are pushing for an end of end-to-end encryption, which doesn't mean it's an EU fact. In fact, it just got rejected in the French parliament.

Kinda, but it's complicated. The share price is the number that people will buy and sell as many shares are as actually getting traded, but once you get to significant fractions of the whole company, the marginal cost of the next share can diverge wildly — if one party is trying to get all of them, that may drive up the price a bit, and for any given fraction of ownership there's always someone who sees the share price go up and thinks "hey, I can get even more profit if I hold on for a bit longer!"

As Eisenhower warned, every Euro spent turning steel into an artillery shell is one NOT spent turning steel into high-speed rail. Every worker in a factory building armored vehicles is a worker NOT being re-trained to be an elder caregiver for Europe's aging demographics. There are immense trade-offs that come with dumping capital, both human and material, into making Europe's war machine rise from the grave.

>"Debt" is just a number, and if you are in a strong enough position you can always change policies around the purely virtual "money".

Key phrase there is "if you are in a strong enough position"....and Europe isn't. Because it cut itself off from cheap Russian energy imports, the entire industrial sector is no longer cost-competitive. With the exception of highly-specialized difficult-to-copy stuff like ASML or maybe Carl Zeiss optics, etc... the European economy writ large is in a really weak position compared to the cost efficiency of China or compared to the still-large (but diminishing) political-military leverage of the US. Also, Europe looks like it is getting closer and closer to handing over the frozen Russian assets in Euroclear to Ukraine. You can expect a massive capital flight from Chinese, Mid-East, or Global South investors if that ever happens.
