I can't be creative without sleep. My dreams rarely make sense, and I sleep less as I get older as the author mentioned, but the little rest I do get is impactful on nearly every aspect of my life in work, exercise, mood, etc.

An article was trending on here recently about how our brains reset with sleep[1].

About 90 million Americans didn’t vote in the election; 75 million voted for his opponent

That’s 165 million people—about 60%—of Americans who didn’t vote for the current president.
Would Gleam be practical for a similar application aside from the OTP/BEAM runtime? I am guessing you'd have to leverage Elixir libraries that are not present for Gleam yet, and you might have slower compile times due to static typing, but you'd catch runtime errors sooner. Would it be more of a debugging vs. fast dynamic iteration trade-off? I am looking to settle on either Gleam or Elixir. I liked Gleam's original ML syntax before, but I like static typing. Thoughts? I am replacing C with Zig, and I am brushing up on my assembly by adding ARM to my x64 skill set.
You're not really misremembering. There was a bunch of drama around a press release or something, with various robotics companies having to reach out to their Intel contacts to get a better picture of what was going on. The press release or whatever derived headline was indeed not quite accurate...
All you are doing is showing that you aren't serious.

> What channel should they use?

Are you f'ing kidding me? You think the federal government doesn't have actual secure channels for discussing sensitive information besides Signal and email? Why don't you just read the f'ing texts, where Mike Waltz specifically references the proper secure channels to use.

> It's not against the law, actually. The President and his cabinet operate on their own rules per the Constitution

Ahh, yes, the new Republican defense of "the law is whatever the President says it is". Actually, no, the executive branch must still follow the law.

And, FWIW, Hegseth and Rubio certainly disagree with you. Just watch their tirades from a few years ago against a previous cabinet member for using unsecured communication channels.
Zero flippancy, none.

> we had only two viable candidates

That's a major part of the problem, and not one to be ignored or accepted.

> the line of thinking you present throws the baby out with the bathwater and represents a false choice.

Nope. It's simple facts. Both 'viable' candidates promised to continue arming a nation which is currently conducting genocide, as confirmed by basically every major human rights group and even some Israeli genocide scholars. That's thoroughly illegal by long-held, hard-won domestic and international law.

You can argue as to why that is, or accuse people who say so of "cycnicism" and "moral superiority", but it's a fact and needs to be said.

There is NO good reason for Harris to have ignored the wishes of the vast majority (77%) of her voter base in order to keep arming mass slaughter. Turning around on that one choice would have won her the election in a landslide, and anyone who looked at the polls knew it.

> you care more about your own sense of self worth

Again, it's simple facts. America is so thoroughly depraved that 98% of voters chose to go for someone arming an active genocide.

Not about me, not about my self worth (bro, I'm an anonymous account with basically no reputation to win or lose here). It's about America, and how a large part of it got conned into thinking that voting for a genocidaire was the right and practical thing to do somehow.

If genocide was properly considered as beyond the pale; far, far over any basic red line for human decency, then Americans would have gone for a third party candidate, or forced a change in nominations from the two 'viable' parties. It's up for debate why they didn't do that, but the simple fact is that 98% of US voters voted for continuing a live-streamed series of atrocities.

> holders of that philosophy can’t seem to stand the smell of ‘imperfect’,

The gulf between 'perfect' and 'complicit in genocide' is so, so vast. I refuse to believe that you can't understand that.
I'd say imprisoning hundreds of people without any form of due process is a rapid descent.
Unpopular opinion, but I think the Design Pattern book created more problems than it solved. It encouraged people to come up with clever designs for object-oriented systems. Object-oriented systems themselves tend to get too complicated. And then making people think they have to use some kind of smart design encourages an addition of complexity.

The first rule of design should be make it as simple as possible. And this book, I think, does the opposite for many people.

It's only part of the tapestry of the story, but IIRC in the New Jim Crow by Michelle Alexander, she notes that the USA stopped funding the creation of courts/judges after the 1960s as it had in prior years so now the number of cases per judge is much higher than it has ever been, this is also mentioned the season three of Serial podcast which indicts the American criminal justice system for a variety of reasons through the entire process, but both indicate the perverse incentives to avoid trial, it kind of reminded me of the persecution of innocent protagonist in The Count of Monte Cristo simply by having the justice system work the way it was supposed to with just one bad actor condemning the guy to years of injustice.
This is just wrong. Languages follow certain inviolable rules, most notably, hierarchical structure dependence. There are experiments (Moro, the subject "Chris") that show that humans don't process synthetic languages that violate these rules the same as synthetic languages that do (specifically it takes them longer to process and they use non-language parts of the brain to do so).

Excuse me folks but is there any evidence that he was really in the group?

Going through the reporting a couple of times it could very well be that he was never part of the group. Screenshots of the group members including him or a screen recording nowhere to see. He didn’t write anything in the group but immediately wrote each individual after he left the group.

If he never was in the group and only received intel about it, the people which provided him with the intel would be able to tell him that critical information was posted in the group, which was accurate, but he wouldn’t have seen it.

It's a confluence of a number of very serious problems, including climate change but certainly not solely that. In the near term, I don't even think climate change, as serious as it is, is our most urgent issue (although in the medium and longer terms, I think it is). Even then I would not have descended into outright pessimism except that, collectively speaking, we have not just given up on addressing these issues but are leaning into actions that are exacerbating them.

> Have you experienced hardship yourself or are experiencing it for the first time?

I have experienced plenty of personal hardship in my younger years, but not so much these days. My pessimism is not related to my personal circumstance, it's related to the world my children are inheriting. I don't have enough years left in my life for the future to be a pressing personal concern. My kids do.
I'm no great fan of GoF, it leads off saying to use composition, then most of the patterns just go hog-wild with inheritance anyway. But I don't think anyone has a lock on the term "delegation". It means "pass off responsibility to something else", and it doesn't need to depend on any single mechanism hardwired into the language. Whether `self` stays intact across dispatches or you need to pass `this` explicitly to your delegated handler isn't the central point.

> Human endeavors have value beyond the monetary.

Indeed, and for me the real value of “selling” my work has been the opportunity to do more of it, and more on my terms, than putting my head down and striving in silence.
I think this thread is conflating "quality going down" and "low-cost tier getting cheaper and more popular."

Look at Ikea. They sell a wooden table with four chairs for $199 (Hagernas). $199 for a place for a family of four to eat on new furniture, and it looks all right! That is a remarkable amount of value. Even if that won't last forever, high-quality stuff has always been expensive; like any dining set that anyone would consider "quality" would be at least $1000 new, or the cost of five of these Ikea sets.

So I guess my point is that the Dust Bowl farmers who had nice furniture maybe only had that because they didn't have a choice; maybe they would have preferred to save that money or buy clothes or better food but they really had no low-end options. And having that choice for an Ikea table would have actually made them richer, not poorer.

Yes. The primary purpose of occupational licensing is to reduce the number of people who can participate in the occupation. Test doctors and judges and hair stylists alike based on whether they can do the job, not whether they have a piece of paper. Thousands of judges in 28 states are doing the job just fine even though they haven’t got that piece of paper. Requiring them to get one isn’t going to fix any problems.
Not sure what you mean. Are you referring to a specific case?
Is it just me, or does this seem like a another example of how housing in CA is broken? The demand is totally insatiable.

I grew up in the state, and am in the East Coast for now (which also has its own problems), but I can't imagine moving back if I had to live in an ADU. The whole concept of an ADU just seems like a bad sign for the market, not mention the increase in traffic bc more density = more people.

You would think the market would normalize and people would move to other states, which is happening, yet people are contemplating making these mini houses.

Yet another symptom of American standard of living decreasing -- younger people are just getting less with the same amount of money. That's the root of the problem.
I read on here someone saying to think of a commit message as starting with “When applied, this commit will…” and that helped me a lot coming up with good messages.

Needing a LLM to figure out what your staged work is doing is a real red flag.
I tend to agree. The OOP-all-the-things mantra created many problems; lots of books were printed (more than necessary), and lots of evangelists made their name on unnecessary abstractions over abstractions.
One might blame Java for that, but it's a chicken-and-egg problem.
> that the stuff built in the 1910s and 1920s was so much better.

Pre-war goods.
Agreed. There is an assumption that all the Sheriffs and judges are good, while in the south, and Pennsylvania, this was shown not to be the case. In the south, it was a sheriff who was jailing kids, and in Pennsylvania it was a judge who put kids in jail for a kickback.

In Southern California a family law judge was actually censured for putting deceased people's real property on his name. He retired with full pension.

I would like to cite this, but my cell phone search engine and small screen prevent it.

Anyone here who keeps chiming in about a specific case... Please use Google... West Law and Lexis are available for free at most law libraries.

I want names, dates, case summaries, court locations, judgement summaries, contact information. For both parties.etc..etc...etc.
Five paragraphs, about an hour or less. Don't overthink it. Below are some examples from my woodworking, but I think they illustrate the concept. The important thing to remember is the blog post is not the project: it is a very quick overview pointing readers to the project. Built up over time, these quick overviews add up to a longer representation of your body of work, which you can use to sell yourself.

Yes, or as full way to calculate:

* 1 / 100 % is calculation of percentage,
* 100 % / 1 is calculation of absolute amount.

And, as stated in a different comment, remember that the commutative property applies to these numbers.
> For folks who use this every day, how/why is this acceptable?

While I thankfully don't have to use Nextjs often, in general I am not sure I even launch my app in the browser every single day. Your tests and whatnot are already providing continuous feedback about the state of the code. 6-7 seconds every once in a while wouldn't be the end of the world.

But even it were instantaneous, Nextjs has a horrible developer experience for a multitude of other reasons.
I lately started using copilot with eclipse I was surprise how copilot started creating complete functions for me inferring what I was trying to do.
fzf could benefit of that.
If I do:

make
./run_program

fzf could create a line for after I do the sam e sequence 3 times that goes:

make && ./run_program

That would be cool.
Are the reports of the chat making use of Signal's auto-deleting feature incorrect then?
a premise*
AFAICT, I think your opinion is fairly widely shared.
We eventually migrated the vast majority of our Scala code over to Kotlin (and a bit of PySpark).

I found Kotlin to be great for writing very performant concurrent code. It was actually easier to write faster code in Kotlin, and even though the pattern matching isn't quite as powerful, it was good enough. The code was also much easier to grok.
Two problems with this:

How were the staffers archiving the disappearing messages?

This is not correct. Secular academics disagree quite a lot about the specifics as we lack sufficient historical data but it is very widely accepted that:

* the gospels were written in the 1st century

It is therefore entirely possible that they were written by eyewitnesses, even though many do not think they were written by some of the 12 disciples. The topic of 'eyewitnesses' is however hotly debated. See e.g. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Jesus-Eyewitnesses-Gospels-Eyewitne... which is pro this view but also plenty against.

Even John's gospel, which is often thought of as the latest, may well have been written very early; arguments for a late dating are almost wholly made in relation to the text itself (i.e. it has a 'higher' Christology) and not wider historical data.

HRW Q&A: Israeli Military's Use of Digital Tools in Gaza
My earliest memory is 2ish, being gurneyed from a hallway with my mom (clearlyu upset) into the surgical area before my first open heart surgery. The memory faded over time, until it became a memory of a memory around age 45...I can tell there was a change from remembering detail, like anything about the wheeled bed, to the base characteristics of the memory.

My Mom didn't tell me the story, nor could she have described the moment, as she doesn't remember. I remember. On the other hand, I do remember that my primary cardiac surgeon, Dr. Rosengart, was not part of the entourage of staff wheeling me in. I met Rosengart again when I had my last open heart surgery at age 31.

It's uncommon for people to have memories from age 2, but I've met quite a few people with early memories, as it can be a fun topic to discuss. Parents try to anchor kids first memories as happy, but my anecdata doesn't seem to fit a pattern of trauma or banal or happy. Early fixed memories seem utterly random.
I'm fine with LLM as long as it sources its responses. It is true however, that LLM interpretation of the source links can be wrong.

The problem with search engines like Google now is that they stopped giving people the results they want, but it often shows things Google thinks people want, or whatever SEO trickery Google stopped trying to fight (especially when the links are full of Google ads...).
> Just a few words is all that is needed.

But then this wouldn’t be a good application for a LLM so clearly that cannot be /s
> Also tmpname2 could be symlinked to /etc/passwd before it is unlinked..

Yeah, sure, but only if you run atop as root, otherwise it'll just get a "permission denied", and if you can run atop as root with whatever flags you like, you might as well just run 'rm' instead.

It's not a suid binary, so while it's bad code and a smell, I don't think the TOCTOU is a security issue in how it's commonly run (i.e. as an interactive CLI running as your user).
You can create a community in a neighbourhood like this. Five years is a pretty long time. People will come and go but if you spend even an hour per month with neighbours and other people reciprocate, it will build a community that transcends individuals coming & going. Think of a university campus: community forms there in far fewer than 5 years through regular casual interactions.
A lot of convoluted explanations about something we don't even know if it really works all the time. I feel like in the third year of LLM-Hype and after reminde-me-how-many billions of dollars burned, we should by now not have to imagine what 'might happen' down to road, it should have been happening already. The use-case you are describing, sure sounds very interesting, until I remember asking asked Copilot for a simple scaffolding structure in React, and it spat out something which lacked half of imports and proper visual alignments. A few years ago I was excited about the possibility of removing all the scaffolding and templating work so we can write the cool parts, but they cannot even do that right. It's actually a step back compared to automatic code generators of the past, because those at least produced reproducible results every single time you used them. But hey sure, the next generation of "AI" (it's not really AI) will probably solve it.

Show HN: Donobu – Mac app turns prompts into deterministic browser tests
Hi HN, we’re Vasusen and Justin, and we’re building Donobu (https://www.donobu.com), a Mac desktop app. It turns prompts like “ensure onboarding works” into reliable browser tests, with optional AI (BYOK). It’s local-first, privacy-focused, and built with insights from our Coursera days—where testing hundreds of features across thousands of pages was a nightmare.

Your feedback last year inspired us to double down and enhance Donobu—improving performance, simplifying, and adding seamless integrations with CI/CD.

Here's what's new:

- 4x smaller install: rewritten in TypeScript, doubles as a local API server at localhost:31000/api.

- Deterministic, repeatable Playwright tests exported, with smart failover (no single-selector fragility).

- Browserbase (and other remote browsers) support for testing from different locales.

- npm package (`npm install donobu`): a superset of Playwright, allowing smart, AI-driven test actions to be added to your existing test suites and enabling integration into CI/CD workflows (e.g., GitHub Actions).

- GitHub repo for demo tests created using Donobu, providing practical examples to get you started quickly: https://github.com/donobu-inc/playwright-flows

- Full support for major LLM providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, AWS Bedrock) plus extended compatibility via Vercel’s AI SDK. `gemini-2.5-experimental` is also supported.

- Convenience: download a pre-made llms.txt file from https://www.donobu.com/llms.txt to provide custom context to your preferred LLM chatbot, helping it better understand Donobu usage and generate test cases or API requests.

- Added update checks and anonymous, completely disablable, telemetry to notify you about new versions Your prompts, keys, and test data always remain local and private—we don't collect or store them.

- Callback URL for integration into your automation systems.

What it’s built for:

- Crafting and running browser tests, especially on local dev pages.

- Testing open-ended, dynamic features like AI-based onboarding flows.

- Automating repetitive setup flows

What it’s not for: Mass web scraping.

Fun things to try:

- Asking it to simply test a website (Vibe Testing).

- Semantic assertions with visual, subjective tests (e.g., "assert there's a happy theme").

- Prompt in a different language or with a code snippet.

Tech Stack: TypeScript, Playwright, Vercel AI SDK, Browserbase.

We'd love your feedback, particularly around the desktop app (https://www.donobu.com/download) and npm package.

Thanks, Vasusen & Justin
I think if they could have been on top earlier, they would have been. They’ve been struggling to catch anthropic and OpenAI’s lead and they finally did it (for now), probably due to TPU superiority plus some secret sauce of some kind. Good! More competition means better service for the consumer.
