I don't really need an AI agent to book flights for me (I just don't travel enough for it to be any burden) but aren't those arguments for an AI agent? If you just wanna book the next flight London to New York it isn't that hard. A few minutes of clicking.

But if you wanna find the cheapest way to get to A, compare different retailers, check multiple peoples availability, calculate effects of credit cards etc. It takes time. Aren't those things that could be automated with an agent that can find the cheapest flights, propose dates for it, check availability etc with multiple people via a messing app, calculate which credit card to use, etc?
Lululemon is tech wear so that’s somewhat surprising. I’d say that if you’re biking, you probably don’t want formal slacks. But more expensive clothes are not inherently more durable. It’s a good way to sell clothes to people who need an objective justification to spend more, but it’s not always true. You spend more because you want a specific aesthetic, you want clothes that fit a certain way, you want stuff produced ethically and not in sweatshops. Sometimes they’re more durable but not always. Linen for instance is always fragile, no matter how expensive.

Adding yet another thing for neurodivergent fans of baseball to argue over is fun! That said, some of this must be statistical anomaly. Let’s give it at least a few hundred at-bats per player using it.

If you look at an exhibit of bats over time, you will see that size, weight, width and shape have all varied quite a bit between players even if on the same team and era, and this makes me skeptical that some new shape is really going to invalidate every baseball stadium’s length and field overnight. If it does, MLB will outlaw it. See aluminum bats for example.

I’m not saying MIT physicists can’t help hitters with going deep, I bet they can. But given the tools at their disposal - bat shape in this case - I’m skeptical that they are going to create a new era of hitting for all. I guess we’ll see soon.

Why are you calling GTK4 irrelevant? Large swaths of Linux run on it and GTK3
If only the Yankees get access to it (e.g. they patented it and won't let other teams use it) then I could see it as an unfair advantage. In most other areas of America life, though, this innovation would be allowed or even celebrated.

I imagine it will go the way of the brilliant strategic innovation a few years back of shifting defenders heavily depending on the batter's statistical hitting patterns. It'll get banned because it makes the game more boring. If home runs happen all the time, they lose their excitement. I imagine it's quite expensive or impossible to shift the outfield walls back farther in most MLB stadiums.

I actually would love more of a no holds barred evolutionary battle in the MLB [1] but I know it's not gonna happen.

I think there's a lot of code that gets written that's either disposable or effectively "write only" in that no one is expected to maintain it. I have friends who write a lot of this code for tasks like data analysis for retail and "vibe coding" isn't that crazy in such a domain.

Basically, what's worse? "Vibes" code that no one understands or a cascade of 20 spreadsheets that no one understands? At least with the "vibes" code you can stick it in git and have some semblance of sane revision control and change tracking.
Yes that's it: "cat > /dev/null". Or you can even skip running cat and just "> /dev/null". You exit by typing ctrl-d which sends an EOF (and then sends all the output to /dev/null!).

I agree. I tried something similar: a conversion of a simple PHP library from one system to another. It was only like 500 loc but Gemini 2.5 completely failed around line 300, and even then its output contained straight up hallucinations, half-brained additions, wrong namespaces for dependencies, badly indented code and other PSR style violations. Worse, it also changed working code and broke it.

Hitting is really hard. If you feel up to it, and can find a public batting cage near you that has a fast pitch machine (usually maxes out 75-85mph which is 20+ mph less than your typical MLB fastball), give it a shot. When you hit the ball away from the sweet spot, especially on the parts closer to your hands, it really freaking hurts and throws off subsequent swings.

If the few players who are using this bat tend to hit that spot naturally, it makes a lot of sense to modify the bat to accommodate it, within the rules like they've done here. Hitting is super, super difficult especially today with how far we're pushing pitchers. Love seeing them try to innovate.

Plus, reminder, most of the team isn't using it. Judge clobbered the ball that day with his normal bat. Brewer's pitching is injured, and the starter that day was a Yankee last year and the team is intimately familiar with his game.
Yeah, especially for things like cheese sauces I find that it's better to just grate it yourself. It will _not_ melt correctly otherwise, and the additives mess with sauces more than you'd think.
We cut aid to Myanmar in 2021 [0][1]. There has been no official USAID presence since, especially as the US has been sanctioning Myanmar since 2021.

I agree with USAID's mission, but even if Trump was not in office today, the same result would have happened.

China and India have extremely close relations with the Junta and the various EAOs in Myanmar, and Russia has close ties with the Junta following our decision to sanction Myanmar in 2021 (along with a massive air force base in Cam Ranh). On the other hand, the US has not had a similar presence in ASEAN since the 1990s. No western nation has provided aid for this very reason.

Yet the NYT article skirts around this issue. 3 USAID advisors is not going to turn the tables when both China and India have deployed hundreds of military personnel and millions of dollars of aid, and US sanctions remain.

I don’t like it because it’s dishonest. The term “undocumented” implies that something has been agreed to or sanctioned, just not written down. But nobody agreed to allow illegal immigrants to come and stay here.

As you acknowledge, the term embeds within it the premise that “the lack of enforcement of the law is also a kind of consent.” That is, illegal immigrants have America’s consent to be present in the country, because the government doesn’t try to hard to deport them. You can make that argument, but almost nobody would agree with your premise. So the term is smuggling an implicit premise that almost nobody would agree with if the premise were stated clearly (as you have done here).

What makes a spectator sport "serious"?

The average MLB game had almost 30,000 spectators in the 2024 season[1]. That's a lot of statisticians.

This site is mostly wealthy and older who have benefitted from the neoliberal status quo. It's why many commenters can shrug off the insane shit happening like opaque deportations of random people to a fucking concentration camp in El Salvador, it only affects people on the margins who they think they are very far removed from.

In wealthy urban areas there are a lot of liberals who don't have a materialist basis for their views and are hypocritical, so the more reactionary on this site think that these pearl-clutching libs are the end all be all of left-wing politics. Meanwhile actual leftists dont really differentiate between ethnic supremacists and YIMBY liberals because they both ultimately support the same outcomes.

I am also from a petit bourgeois background but being younger I think it was very clear that the direction we were heading in was not sustainable. There is no path that allows for me to have stable finances (enough money to buy a house and pay for my parents retirement) and also be spiritually fulfilled. The only way I can save up the money to take care of the people around me is to sell my mind, body, and soul to the machine (even then who says the current administration wont tank the stock market and erase all my savings). I think even for Gen X'ers this was the case, it was just easier to keep their heads down since the polycrisis was still a few decades out and would not yet seem "real".

Even as a relatively successful zoomer I have to walk a fine line of grinding away at my day job, and doing the community-oriented work that fulfills me spiritually. The market signals that stuff like home ownership and having a family is not "efficient", so I don't bother.

Anyways, there's a real disconnect and I'm not sure what it would take for the older and wealthier folks on here to open their eyes. If history is anything to go by they most likely never will.
Dark City was a famous budgeting disaster because it spent way too much on sets and went rather over-budget, then did the terrible thing of not making that much money in the box office. The Matrix was able to spend so much of its budget on effects and effects innovation precisely because it got handed so many of Dark City's way too expensive sets trying to recoup some of the costs of Dark City.

They are definitely related, and I also think Dark City was the better version of Matrix 1 on a storytelling and aesthetics level, Matrix's innovative effects aside, but then I like all of the Matrix sequels a lot more than I like the first Matrix film.

This morning on the radio, I heard this opinion (paraphrasing): "Misses become tips, tips become slices, slices become hits..."
Even if in the strong, weak and electromagnetic interactions the baryon number is conserved, there is the interesting fact that for the 8 particle set composed of the 3 kinds of u quarks, 3 kinds of d quarks, 1 electron and 1 neutrino, the sum of all kinds of quantities that are expected to be conserved, like electric charge, color charges and spin sum to zero. This set of 8 particles is also equivalent with the set of the components of one proton, one neutron, one electron and one neutrino.

This property of this set of 8 particles is analogous to the similar property of the set of 2 particles composed of a particle and its anti-particle, and to the similar property of the sets of 4 particles that can be involved in a weak interaction (the intermediate weak bosons convert one 4-particle interaction into a couple of 3-particle interactions, but when looking at the overall inputs and outputs, all the weak interactions are 4-particle interactions), which ensure the conservation of various quantities over such interactions.

This means that it is possible to conceive an additional kind of interaction, which unlike electromagnetic interactions between 2 particles and weak interactions between 4 particles, involves 8 particles, so it has a much smaller probability of occurring, i.e. it is a much weaker interaction than the weak interaction, and through which, when provided with enough energy, quarks + electrons + neutrinos could be generated simultaneously without generating anti-matter.

While there is no evidence yet for such an interaction, it is conceivable that at least during the circumstances of the Big Bang, such an interaction could have existed, so all the quarks and leptons could have been generated from some unknown bosons, just with enough initial energy and with conservation of all quantities for which there are solid reasons to believe that they must always be conserved, like energy, linear momentum, angular momentum, electric charge and color charges. (Unlike for the baryon number, for which there is no other reason to believe that it must be conserved, except that the strong, weak and electromagnetic interactions happen to have this behavior.)
Show HN: I made SaaSQuick, generate full stack SaaS applications with AI
Hey all,

I'm a developer who's been working with LLMs for a couple years now.

I built a free, fully managed software engineering platform for non-technical product people to build with. My goal was to minimize the software engineering cycle in order to free up more time to focus on building valuable features.

There’s a live preview for each project where you can enter product requirements and feature requests in plain English and let the LLM (o3-mini) powered backend handle the implementation for you. It uses TDD and completes a retry cycle until all tests pass for each new feature. Subscriptions are optional and can be set in the project dashboard, and deploying will generate a public URL to share.

It handles auth and payments through Stripe Connect but is entirely free to use and takes a 10% fee from any revenue generated.

Below are a couple of live apps I generated

"AFAIK they're consistent throughout time and space as far as history goes[0], and form a common base from which more complex morality stems."

Not even close! Universalized morality (e.g., "stealing is wrong") is a product of the last couple thousand years, and it's only present in some modern humans. It is the foundation of WEIRD (Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, Democratic) psychology.

If you're curious about what other kinds of human experience can be like, I recommend checking out some ethnographies. Here's a summary of one: https://peacefulsocieties.uncg.edu/wp-content/uploads/2015/1...
> Something I've seen in more than one service are API clients that perform a fresh login for every call,

That largely comes from people copy+pasting examples from API documentation, sites like stack overflow, and (because they have been trained on a lot of code that does nothing more bright) LLMs, for the first call they make then following that for every call without even thinking to check if there is any longer expiry period listed on the response when they first pick up a token, even if the subsequent calls are made in immediate succession so there is practically no chance that the session has expired.

> If the system design involves a table of valid session tokens

That would generally be bad design IMO. If a timestamp is part of the token and the rest of the information used in its generation (except "static" secrets like salts & keys of course) is present too, there is no need to hit the database to verify a token (it can be done directly in CPU only which likely imposes a lot less wall-clock overhead than a DB call or even simple filesystem read) so no need to even store it there in the first place. This will increase the size of the token (it contains the shared source data as well as the result not just, say, a 256bit hash result) but some of the tokens I've seen in the wild seem large enough to contain a full bible chapter anyway so it appears token length is not a concern in many cases.
