I’ve struggled with this HN posting guideline:

“Otherwise please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize.”

I mean, I can’t make the determination that it’s linkbait. Is it really the hottest car company? I already know I cannot buy in the US.

Probably just easier to leave it as is, IMO.
Featured is just a way for persons who add their products to highlight them above the rest for a period of time.
Hardly any actual physical simulations simulate every possible moment in time. We just calculate consequences of current events and put them in the queue to happen sometime in the future. And there's evidence that the real world works in a similar way.
That sounds like what I meant.
But he doesn't.

The project manager also won't learn behat and write tests.

Your client also won't use the CMS to update their website.
Interesting references! I remember that Gemma.cpp used Highway, but I haven't checked the others much.

Here is a puzzle, then. Let's say we are checking a single register of bytes for element-wise equality with another register of the same size. In AVX2, the output is another YMM register of 0xFF or 0x00 values. In AVX-512, for full ZMM-wide comparisons, it's a 64-bit mask in the K register.

I struggle to see a good way to abstract such things, even for two consecutive SIMD generations on x86.
No, by “both sides” I mean legal liberals and legal conservatives, which doesn’t quite match up with the parties. But first to address your point about “individual liberty.” The constitution is a framework for a republican federal government, designed to operate in conjunction with state governments that had inherited the plenary powers of the British parliament. The constitution envisions that individuals have certain liberties, but also that the government can constrain people from doing what they want in other ways. “More individual liberty” doesn’t automatically mean “more constitutional.”

The difference between legal liberals and legal conservatives is their views of whose ideas define the scope of individual liberty versus government power. For example, whose ideas do you turn to to decide whether blue laws are an infringement of religious liberty, or within the legitimate scope of state power to regulate the “public health, welfare, and morals?” Legal liberals believe in a “living constitution.” They not only believe that contemporary ideas can inform the meaning of the constitution, but believe in certain privileged sources of those ideas. So, in their view, blue laws can be unconstitutional based on modern political philosophy, even if the founding generation regarded them as consistent with individual liberty, and contemporary voters support retaining them.

In my view, legal liberals should be held to their own standard. If the meaning of the constitution can be informed by contemporary ideas, Stephen Miller is just as valid a source of such ideas as the Harvard Law faculty.
> Can you have private well water in Boston, Hartford or Portsmouth? The answer is no

Why do you think that is?
It's amazing if AI models can solve the same tests with high accuracy, and those are now available to anyone. They would never tire of explaining, simplifying, or analogizing any concept in any field.
> Write off is am accounting term, not operational.

That's the point. I've just decommisioned 10 year old servers for a client. They were still working fine, but the system had finally been replaced.

If you're calculating break-even based on the rate at which you're writing off the accounting value of the servers, you'll end up with a far longer time to break-even than if you amortise the hardware cost over the projected actual lifetime of the hardware.

Is there more to MCP than being a simple Remote Procedure Call framework that allows AI interactions to include function calls driven by the AI model? The various documentation pages are a bit hand wavy on what the protocol actually is. But it sounds to me that RPC describes all/most of it.
Excellent characterization. This Bach influencer or David Brooks walk into a coffee shop and opine, what are these (mostly women) doing all day? Must be indisciplined spending on coffee.

I feel Gen-X and millennials know in our bones that this stupid advice is path-dependent on a surface of rules that will never happen again. Take one coffee drinker, who in May 2001, might be advised by a financial planner like Bach to buy Enron stock instead of that avocado toast. That advice kept her from having a down payment for 7 years. In 2008, millions like her were foreclosed.

This talk of frugality deserves a fraction of a paragraph before we move onto the serious costs of child care, health care, psychotherapy, alcoholism around you, college loans for people without rich parents, what to do during 3 hours of commuting, losses from Worldcom ($1385 per taxpayer), losses from Madoff ($27 per), losses from the fourth largest investment bank (Lehman Bros) collapsing, etc.

So the latte and avocado toast joke is funny, even with such a dour punchline. This article is good because sometimes I need to be reminded that there’s a fringe who took the joke seriously.

Life long car nerd here. Sat in a BYD dolphin last year, expecting it to feel cheap and nasty. Nothing of the sort. Everything felt as good as a decent European car (people often reference VW but I think others are as good). It all seemed very substantial and well put together. Panel gaps definitely better than the tesla I drove later in the day.

Don't make the mistake of thinking these are alibaba quality junk. I think legacy car makers and tesla (or at least musk) have been doing that for years and now it will come to bite them.
Sure, but they are also not fighting about it, this seems crucial.
I have had the same idea for a while, honestly. Yeah you can install wine and binfmt_misc, but it doesn't come by default. It should be the default. Nobody should be distributing binary Linux applications in this day and age, especially not for the desktop. Win32 is just so much better designed from the ground up for desktop apps, it's not even funny. As a simple example - a Win32 .exe has an icon to tell the user immediately what it is, but Linux apps need a ton of hacks and extra files (wtf is a .desktop) which can get out of sync at the drop of a hat. Also the ABI is indeed stable. You don't have to worry about the graphics and audio APIs disappearing etc.

Like just for the audio stack we had: OSS is deprecated so use ALSA actually direct ALSA device access is deprecated use this special ALSA config with a bunch of plugins actually directly calling ALSA is deprecated use aRts actually aRts only works on KDE use ESD actually ESD is deprecated use pulseaudio actually pulseaudio uses too much CPU rewrite everything to use JACK actually JACK is only for audio workstations go back to pulseaudio actually pulseaudio is deprecated switch to pipewire... I am pretty sure in 6 months I will be reading how pipewire is deprecated and the new definitely final form of the Linux audio stack will be emerging (written in a combination of Rust and Emacs Lisp).

In short, Linux binary compatibility is a clownshow and the OS itself isn't engineered for developing graphical desktop applications. We should stop pretending it is and compile everything user-facing for Win32 ABI, with maybe a tiny extension here and there.
Presumably, if you're in the US or any of those countries that mandate folate then you don't eat bread or anything containing flour—or you have to get special flour without it.

I'd imagine that must be very difficult for you.

BTW, that fluoride reference refers to excessive fluoride in water whether natural or added. I've not entered the fluoride debate here except to ask a question. I'd certainly object if fluoride levels were excessive in my water supply.
Based on some long term tests on YouTube it seems to me BYD would likely get sued to oblivion if they didn’t be honest with their range claims and charging times with the US market. Most Americans tend to expect a lot from their vehicles - BYD might actually have issues when reviews and quality issues become apparent. Then again panel gaps on Teslas didn’t stop buyers from paying more for less, though competition was lacking, and now a recall because the wrong adhesive was used on the trucks is a laughing stock.

I am eager to see a BYD compared to a new MB CLA.
Since rust is popular it naturally attracts a counter movement, so some people will grasp at straws in order to say something negative.
Any gdb integration scripts for Python to get stack frames etc. should work fine in rr and Software Counters Mode rr.

`rr replay` and (the software counters equivalent) `rr replay -W` invokes gdb.
They’re not but they were in the past so who knows if they kept the password.

I didn't have time to code a Vpn client before going on holiday...so I needed to get wire guard from the macos store.
A lack of compelling new products is also a problem. Tesla’s most recent addition, Musk’s hard-edged Cybertruck that’s become a favorite target of anti-Elon vandals, has been a flop, selling about 40,000 units last year–a fifth of the annual volume Musk predicted. The vehicle has a shockingly bad record for quality, with eight recalls...
As an American I also hope it goes well - I'd like them to get that beachhead, or be able to import one and get it serviced in north america.
My (similarly religious) opinion is that because we _can_ simulate biological systems, computers can and will have free will too. Human brain is just a physical object that has some particular structure. We have free will (yes, I believe in free will). Then, we are not special, there can be other systems with free will, and we can build them.
Well you wrote that in the US it’s generally illegal to collect rain water and I don’t think that is true.

But if your point was that it’s illegal to collect enough rain water for XYZ purpose or scale I think that’s a bit different.
Alternatively, we could use a model in which functions are immutable, and therefore make such breaking changes impossible. This is the approach taken by Unison:

https://www.unison-lang.org/docs/the-big-idea/
That's my point though.

Perhaps $100 per course per semester is better spent elsewhere, and maybe walking out of a lecture on Dostoevsky is the correct thing for a human to do.

Are students walking out of brain surgery classes because of phones?
Exactly. And if your cleanup is more involved you can call a cleanup function.
Wine should come with fonts with the same metrics as the proprietary ones. Note that while the font file is copyrighted, the letterforms themselves are free to copy. We already had the DejaVu project recreate equivalents of existing fonts, no reason we can't have the same for the Segoe and Calibri families.
When you do so, which I do too, is the amount of fluoride you potentially swallow more than that in fluoridated water?
Apple probably made a mistake trying to do it in house rather than getting a chinese company to knock one out to thier specs.
What’s your experience like with BYD cars that have over 25,000 miles / 3 years old with regards to quality? Sincere question as I can’t find any reviews of how they hold up. Can they maintain the fit and finish and functionality of a typical American use case?
Sounds way too long unless you use no extra services, and no outbound bandwidth to speak of.

AWS outbound bandwidth costs in particular is tens of times higher than what you can get elsewhere, to the point that when clients insist on S3, e.g. because they're worried about durability (which is a valid consideration), I usually ask if they'd be happy to put a hefty cache at a cheaper provider in front - if you use lots of bandwidth, it's not usual for it to be cost effective to cache 100% of the dataset somewhere cheaper just to avoid AWS bandwidth charges.
I think the idea is the kernel of something very interesting. TA is right - in typed languages especially, why not add some extra metadata what would render many changes non-breaking?

I think part of our hang-up is that we tend to think of code and data in very separate categories (except for literals, of course)--and only allow treating code as data after a lexer starts processing it (or via reflection or first-class functions at run time).

Correcting this category error and adding metadata (not just types) could yield all sorts of interesting ideas.

Like - as TA suggests, why not encode the notion of how a function signature has changed over time to enable automatic migrations?
Different python versions have different syntax grammars, so if the rest of your file has new syntax, and older python might not be able to execute even the first few lines.

For example if you run this on python3.6:

print("hello")
match 123:
case _: pass

you won't even get a "hello".
Apple TV.
Exactly. There are always the people who complain and the people who defend. They are both not indicative of actual social changes. They're just statement factories. Think deeper about what a statement is actually saying instead of dismissing it for falling under some camp. If it is vapid even on its own, then dismiss it.

On this paticular topic, my take is that as technology has advanced, we have gone from the "technology is harmless" side to the "technology is harmful" side sharply. Books and whatnot are great. TV, ehhh. Video games, mobile phones, social media, LLMs: dangerous, or more optimistically, very tricky to get right. I think it's not strange that these three categories I've laid out occupy vastly distinct time spans. It's exactly the power of a technology that ties into both its development and its impact. I certainly don't get similar experiences from reading a book and watching short form video.
I generally agree but it literally uses shebang
Ask HN: Fanless Laptops
I fondly remember my student days of running Ubuntu on a tiny Thinkpad X61 w/ a 12" 1024×768 screen.

So a few weeks ago I started to wonder what the best ultraportable laptop for running Linux is nowadays.

I know these are somewhat arbitrary, personal constraints of mine (that the X61 also did not meet) but is it possible that there are (almost) no options for a laptop w/

- no fan

- 190+ dpi

?

I think I'd even be willing to accept battery life that's just "ok" if the screen is sharp for rendering text and passively cooled.

With 100s of vendors I thought there surely must be dozens of options.

But I have trouble finding any options from within the last 10 years.

And I mean not only no options specifically for running Linux "ok" but any options at all (e.g. compromising on Windows + WSL 2).

Except from Apple.

The 12" Macbook and current Macbook Air M1-M4.

Is that really it?

A close miss I found is the Thinkpad X13s that comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon (!).

It is fanless but it has a 160 dpi screen which unfortunately places it in the "almost good but still blurry" uncanny valley when it comes to text rendering.
Presumably a passenger came to them and asked for help extracting their phone from a crevice in a seat.

If this keeps happening, providing an on-board toolkit and cross-training flight attendants in proper seat disassembly and reassembly could well pay off.
Having SML (or at least OCaml) as a known language definitely would help engineers when they get into the industry and start using Rust.

Back in the day when I played with these things I preferred SML/NJ over OCaml, but OCaml "won" the battle for headspace.

I'd consider using OCaml for new projects, I really like the language family.
It also checks for popular remote desktop apps (allow incoming connections to the phone) which could be used to increase scam success rate.

Same with banks apps, if you are a scammer it's really useful to know beforehand what kind of bank the target uses.

There are probably a whole bunch of groups who have a purposes for this kind of info, especially if they can link it to the phone number.
Or you have just been sweeping preventable birth defects under the rug. The UK determined that had been happening and are going to start doing it.

It's crazy to think that anyone could, at no cost to themselves, cause a large commercial plane to be turned around and wipe out maybe $1 million dollars of value from the economy; if you count fuel costs, staff costs, lost hours of hundreds of passengers.
Interestingly FirstDirect app (also part of HSBC) has no such problems. It even ran on my previously rooted phone.
yes, and i think that’s a pretty recent reading of the US comprehension of freedom. my sense is that the collective individualistic tendencies have ballooned.

even as recently as the early 90s, my civics classes emphasized the importance of other people’s rights and that of the expression of your individual rights infringed on the rights of others then it was an irresponsible and improper use of individual rights.

it seems like this has devolved into people whose perspective on individual rights loosely aligns enough to coalesce and shout the loudest to create policy. until someone in the in-group’s individual freedom is impacted and the group fractures into smaller coalitions. rinse. lather. repeat.
Native applications are way better on Linux, too. But only where they exist. There are plenty of "apps" where there developers have taken shortcuts by getting "Linux support" by using Electron. These app perform noticeably worse and are generally disliked by their users.
I'd argue that it is much more of a game than Veloren though.
And a jet engine and IC engine are engines, but putting your car engine into a Boeing and vice versa would be an unwise decision.

I'd argue you're over-abstracting the differences. They have different purposes. Game engines need high performance, while browsers need to enable wide selection of APIs.
The auto-save in Google Docs is undoubtedly better, but it was possible to set an auto-save interval in minutes on Word 6.0 for Windows 3.1.

Back then, Word's auto-save updated the file that you were working on rather than creating a separate backup file. I liked that better, though there might have been a good reason for changing approaches in later versions of Word.
The title is withholding key information while making a vague superlative claim, amongst other common clickbait techniques like talking in second person. IMO this title isn't good as-is, even just replacing `It's` with `BYD is` would be a huge improvement.
Thanks for being so thoughtful about this. I think you made the right decision, although I can see how others might feel otherwise since the guideline is so subjective.
The iOS app looks great! I like that you also have a Linux app. Going to evaluate Ente over the next week by using it on those 2 platforms.

The pricing seems very reasonable as well and the free tier is good enough for me to give this a serious try.
Obviously this depends on the return you are getting. For us it has been incredible. We have mostly been working on greenfield / small apps and making decisions to use popular technology we believe to be correct even though we don't have much experience working with them previously. This is probably the perfect environment for vibe coding. I acknowledge that there are potentials for gotchas with any new technology, but I suspect AI has saved us from 10x as many as it may potentially be steering us toward.
Isn't this talking about naturally-occurring fluoridation, not added? The concentrations they describe as having an inverse affect are far higher than what gets added to water on purpose:

What the study measured:

"For fluoride measured in water, associations remained inverse when exposed groups were restricted to less than 4 mg/L or less than 2 mg/L but not when restricted to less than 1.5 mg/L"

And what the US federal government recommends (or I guess soon, previously recommended):

"Through this final recommendation, the U.S. Public Health Service (PHS) updates and replaces its 1962 Drinking Water Standards related to community water fluoridation—the controlled addition of a fluoride compound to a community water supply to achieve a concentration optimal for dental caries prevention.1 For these community water systems that add fluoride, PHS now recommends an optimal fluoride concentration of 0.7 milligrams/liter (mg/L)" [1]

Note, too, the study's section on Study sample;

"No studies were conducted in the United States."

Disappointing, but not entirely unexpected.

The Spectrum is kinda unique - it's a LOX/Propane rocket (RP1/kerosene is traditionally more common, and methane is what the new hotness is).

From the footage that we have, it looks like we got maybe ~15 seconds of good flight before things got weird. It's not clear how relevant the "smoke" mentioned in the article is. Since the propellants (both of them in this case) are cyrogenic, some degree of boil off/venting may continue even after launch. For example, if you look at the New Glenn or any of the Starship launches, they continue to visibly vent well into ~20-30 seconds into flight.

Things appeared to have started going wrong around the time the announcer said "they're starting the pitch over", and we can see the rocket first start pitching, and then start rolling and then go belly up. It possible that it was a problem related to guidance/control.
That’s a good example of a worst case scenario. This is why we would still need humans loitering about.

The question is do they still need 10? Or 2 would suffice? How about 5?

This does not need to be a debate about the absolutes.
I do. I have a family member who works in the industry and I’ve seen the market research.

No one can tell. You might have a very specific bag that has a recognizable design but you are going far beyond signaling wealth and half the time people assume it’s a knock-off.
> browser apps do have their advantages:

These are more like byproduct of the fact that web apps are built on the stack not suited for modern UI apps. It's literally a text typesetting engine pretending to be a rendering engine for high-performance UI.

So, it can also be framed as:

- everything is selectable, even what shouldn't be - buttons, drawers, video players, etc
- content is zoomable, which most of the time just breaks UX in hilariuous ways. Developers have to do extra-work to either disable zoom or make hacks/workarounds.

"Everything is selectable" and "everything is zoomable" makes total sense if it's a blog post. If it's a UI for the modern app, it does not.
They are not natural persons, but they are juridical persons and were so before Citizens United.
Insurance companies and legal departments will nip that idea in the bud.
That makes your code depend on UV where otherwise it wouldn’t.

Remember the specification to indicate dependencies in a comment on a script is a PEP (723) and it’s tool-agnostic.
> the internal representation of a vtable is now guaranteed to have its supertraits laid out in some predictable prefix form to its own methods.

Importantly, note that the specifics of the vtable layout are not guaranteed, only the general property that the layout must be amenable to supporting this.
Are the maintenance costs so high that it's better to just kill it? Why is that?
I thought the costly thing would be to build it (and indeed it was, at more than $2 billions).
Sorry, I meant the Koto language and built-in library compatibility story. Whats on the roadmap for a 1.0 and will you allow a 2.0? One of my annoyances with Tcl and Lua is their breaking changes would be pushed into my application and I'd have to decide what version of the language to target and have a plan for changing it.

I'm fine with the Rust API breaking compatibility.
