They’ve been Moneyballing the game for a while with analytics to the point that the MLB had to ban certain defensive techniques. (Analytics says he always hits it there, so put a bunch of defensive players there.)
Cellulose is not "wood pulp" or "sawdust." Only about 50% of sawdust is cellulose. The rest is hemicellulose, lignin, resins, and oils. Any plant material that you eat contains cellulose. It's just about the most benign thing you could add to food as an anti-caking agent. ...not matter what the eater.com article with the attention grabbing headline that you linked to might say.
Canada has/had? a similar pilot program, but for alcohol use where you get a drink every hour: it might be a good comparison re: health outcomes alone. Let me find a link.

> instead of just... giving us GPT-3

If you're referring to the GPT-3 from 2020, modern open source models five years later are a) better at benchmarks b) much smaller yet still better at said benchmarks c) much, much cheaper/faster due to architectural improvements.

The real hard thing for OpenAI to do is to release an open-weights model that's better/more differentiated than Gemma 3 (at the small scale) or DeepSeek R1 (at the large scale)
These are only the vulnerabilities known and with a CVE. How many remain that are unknown, known but not easily fixed, being sold, or being fixed silently by Apple? The impact on these are striking. Is OS security at this scale that difficult or simply an afterthought?

The original comment says "their mentality about open-model is wrong, evident from their post". Does not say it's shady! Why to be cynical?
Thanks for rewording my point. You pretty much nailed what I was trying to say.
My personal multicloud strategy for many years was to make full use of the free tier on as many providers as necessary.
Losing 4M is pretty significant considering that's 4M people who actively decided to uninstall something. A majority of the 16M might be dead users (installed on an old browser) or people who don't realize it's still installed but also don't interact with the extension at all.
So to avoid the hassle of organising folders, you create an editor with only a single folder that has 8 files in it? I can replicate this in a normal text editor by simply using only one folder with 8 files in it. For advanced CLI users, an even simpler (and arguably better) solution to this problem exists:

vim notes/"$(date -Iminutes)".txt # author a new note
vim notes/"$(ls notes | tac | sed 8q)" # edit the 8 most recent notes, starting from newest

So do you have any evidence or support what is so far an empty assertion?

"some people literally think _every_ one of them is a literal, actual Nazi"

If that's true in any significant way, there should be plenty of public examples.

Instead of engaging in a serious discussion, you resort to changing the subject, and (effectively) disinformation about me. I take that as a signal that the rest of what you say is equally baseless and only repeats the right-wing talking points.
> We just attribute everything to disinformation

The full effect that disinformation has had on Americans is probably impossible to measure, but with evidence like the Mueller report, you cannot deny that it has had some tangible effect. With Russia's efforts and the outcome of the 2016 election, I would be surprised if they did not continue and even ramp up their efforts in subsequent elections.
I get it, but that wasn't the point. There's lots of sites which will have your result and harmful content right next to each other. Reddit is known for being a collection of very unrelated subreddits, but you won't know every site like that. Kagi writes "ensures", but they can't really ensure anything here. They'll have the best guess of the first click being safe and even that is often problematic (what kind of safe?, for what age?).
With pretty much every new technology, society has bent towards the tech too.

When smartphones first popped up, browsing the web on them was a pain. Now pretty much the whole web has phone versions that make it easier*.

*I recognize the folly of stating this on HN.
Yes, and if we continue down this path China will be the biggest winner. If we align with Russia, then Europe and southeast asia will have no other choice. Africa will also be easy pickens for China.

The best case scenario for USA is we are able to hold on to secure elections, Democrats move towards something like Ezra Kleins’ vision and MAGA collapses and a more values based party takes their place.
I'm surprised they expect people to voluntarily undergo that interrogation, for their feedback to then be processed by some LLM.
May I ask how are you dealing with the hole Youtube left in his life? I grew up on the internet, but seeing the effects it had on me and the world I don't want the same for my kids. The problem is I don't even know what to do in my own free time if not browsing Youtube or playing games, imagine a kid.
No. Tragedy of the Commons is a bogus thought experiment where the contradictions of mixing private property with the commons was blamed on The Commons.
I'm assuming there are additional GDPR compliance asks in Europe when using apps. If that's the case I don't see how that is Apple's fault. I wish this article was a bit better but after reading a few of them I still don't get what the actual complaint is.

Sounds like you can create loops. If the select had a style element that turns this off again would it keep changing state?
Instead of going through the scavenger hunt, quote the numbers you believe support your viewpoint.

But just looking at one source it says no community colleges were represented and 60 private colleges and 12 public colleges were represented.

That automatically skews the results to more privileged people who can consider it an outlet to “be a better person in the world and mommy and daddy can support me while I get my unpaid internship in NYC and then become a journalist who can’t support myself” over the people who will eventually have to depend on themselves to exchange enough labor for money to support their need for food and shelter.

https://www.acenet.edu/Documents/HERI-TFS-Brief.pdf

Also notice that 80% went to college to get a job. Where is the related statistic that poorer people spent money and time to go to college without the expectations of getting a better job 50 years ago?
> There are all kinds of bugs in these compilers all the time. I don’t think you can assert that.

That's a separate discussion; generally you need specific conditions in the source code to have compiler bugs affect your code (and for any given compiler bug it's much more likely for it to visibly break your program (i.e. be a clear release blocker) than quietly break on some specific user input; assuming you have appropriate testing).

I don't think I've ever even heard of any exploitable cases of spooky-bug-at-a-distance in Java, whereas such are commonplace for C projects.

Bad multi-threading in Java still won't produce spooky bugs at a distance - worst you may get is a long torn on a 32-bit boundary on 32-bit systems, or reordered reads/writes.

> I think clang should insert a ret at the end of the function.

......But UB means it's not required to do that... ...that's, like, the main thing the discussion is about. This isn't any form of issue or bug in clang to be fixed, it's intentionally chosen that that behavior is fine on UB.

(to be clear, despite all this, I think UB is a fair enough thing, and am perfectly fine with compilers "exploiting" it for perf (I've even had a case of compiler optimizations on integer overflow fixing a bug! found out when I realized I didn't run certain tests on ubsan/debug builds), and, indeed, outside of OOB stores, is generally not too exploitable; but it's still very far from not being potentially very problematic (and the "potential"ness is generally independent from specific code), especially for projects where safety matters)
100% agreed. Karpathy seems to have coined it - it's up there with "asshat" and "awesome sauce" for profoundly stupid terms.

I personally use agentic programming to refer to a workflow that consists of having an agent (Cline, Claude Coder, etc.) write the majority of the code for you, but unlike "vibe coding" you're still taking a minimal amount of time to sanity check the output.

People constantly defend it by saying that "vibe coding" isn't meant for production (yada yada), but let's not be naive, because it will 100% be used to push actual applications.
In Defense of the Blobfish: The 'World's Ugliest Animal' Is Our Fault
Agreed, but there is far less war of any sort, and - almost miraculously - the near-total elimination of international war. It's a staggering accomplishment.

To say that some war remains is to make perfection the only standard. Let's reduce it even more, but to claim the post-war order hasn't overseen extraordinary peace, freedom and prosperity is ridiculous.

> Block cheese is cheaper, lasts longer, and cooks better.

Is this a promotion for the National Cheese Stockpile?[1] The US has about 1.5 billion pounds of cheese in storage in a cave in Missouri. Really. There's a USDA welfare program for dairy farmers, and they have to put the excess milk somewhere. So it's made into cheese and stored.

in certain situations, latency is an aspect of correctness. HFT and robotics come to mind.
Sorry if it's a dumb question, by why would we expect an equal number? Doesn't that assume that we consider ourselves at the centre of our observable universe?
It is explicitly anti-science to pretend you have any true idea what is outside the universe, friend. We can guess at it of course, but you’d have to be extremely early on in your education to think “the tool that explores the universe” is somehow incompatible with “something explicitly not inside the universe”.
That's the thing about the nature of power -- it's not really power if it can't be easily abused. That's why with great power, comes great responsibility. Responsibility would not be needed if the power couldn't be abused.

At the end of the day if someone has the ability to prevent you from using your power, they are the ones who actually have power. So who watches the watchmen?

The US tries to solve this conundrum by making the checks on power a self-reinforcing circle. "Checks and balances". But at the end of the day, the Constitution is just a piece of paper, and all it takes to abuse power once given to you is to convince yourself you have the right.

We can diffuse the power so much that not one person can abuse it. But that has the problem of making action so impossible that the power is never used and nothing gets done. Equally problematic.

That's why it's so important to elect people of high character. Most politicians fail this test.
This definitely feels like a move made out of desperation, but I admit I'm curious to see what they release.

It's fascinating that some of the best-funded startups of the 2020s are all rushing to commoditize their core technology as quickly as possible. They all seem to have the same business model as the Change Bank from SNL
True, though when I had a buddy (a poor man’s Vespa) it was close enough to that to feel like a cheat code.
This is actually more common than we might think in the music world. TC Electronic and a few other guitar/effect companies also had audio based ways to transmit program data into effects pedals.
My exact memory. When you did finally get everything correct, the program could take 15 minutes to load from the cassette tape. I remember upgrading my Commodore 64 with a floppy disk and loading programs in 2 minutes (which felt instantaneous by comparison).
Until early adulthood the only cheese I really knew was kraft slices, kraft parmesan powder, bags of pre-shredded, etc. Literally buying cheese by the block turned my world upside down
Does wrapping not break the successor relationship as well? I suppose it's a different problem than saturation, but the symptoms are the same: the relationship between a number and it's successor is no longer intuitive (not injective for saturation, not ordered for wrapping).

It seems to have caught on, but one could still doubt its applicability to all phenomena at all scales.
Some apps have a “pre permissions” pop up telling users about what permissions they’re about to ask for, before then initiating the iOS permissions pop up.

The Apple apps go straight to the permissions pop up.

How is it Apples fault they do this?
Definitely not "always" and "in every way".

Random example. I buy a meal made by a professional chef and have it delivered. It's more convenient and it's a much better meal than I could make. It's more expensive, sure, but that's not 'in every way'
Sounds like an open GPT-4o / o1 distill or something… And that they want to know what to go for.
Ooh I can render arbitrary pixels outside the viewpoint. Like a system dialog asking for a password.
The airlines rely on things not interoperating for you. However their agents interoperate all the time via code sharing. They don't want normal people to do this but if something goes wrong with the airplane you should be on they would prefer you to get there than not.
Well that was my point. TFA isn’t exactly high quality with the way it seems to suggest this is some kind of nationality issue.

Why not curate a video repository? I think novelty is actually overrated and even harmful for kid. Deeper exploration on familiar subject may be beneficial as that would let his/her imagination to take on the job of inventing new things.
I would say this is why server-authoritative systems that allow for custom logic in the backend for conflict resolution work well in practice (like Replicache, PowerSync and Zero - custom mutators coming in beta for the latter). Predefined deterministic distributed conflict resolution such as CRDT data structures work well for certain use cases like text editing, but many other use cases require deeper customizability based on various factors like you said.

Ask HN: Do enterprises now consider the use of C/C++ based databases as bad?
"What good is an open source database when it’s written in a mix of memory-unsafe language?"
A OLTP high performance Relational Database vendor has this section in their competitive report. I am guessing they are sharing this with their prospects. They have written their DB in GO, and are trying to throw shade at databases written in C/C++.

I have been writing database code in C/C++ for more than 13 years now, and there is no other language I would pick. PostgreSQL, SqlLight, MySql, Oracle, SqlServer, and even Mongo are written in these languages.

Why wasn’t the Pentium’s successor the Sexium?
I'm completely in agreement that addiction to phones, addiction to gambling, a reduction in the degree to which the muscles of writing and the muscles of reading are exercised, and a reduced ability to concentrate on difficult intellectual efforts is a growing problem in our society.

However, the author might not guess that those same students, the ones who are barely literate, are somehow still powering our society through a rise in economic productivity greater than ever before.

Consider the steely-eyed missile men who sent Apollo to the moon, the Greatest Generation that defeated fascism and brought about so many revolutionary technologies through WWII, the inventors behind the first industrial revolutions, the explorers who circled the globe in the Age of Exploration, the literal Renaissance Men of DaVinci and Newton and Kepler and Copernicus: For all their educational and cognitive prowess, their societies were somehow less capable than ours.

I would posit that our tools are just that much better in spite of reduced average literacy. Just as we programmers state "what Andy giveth, Bill taketh away", so our brains' processing centers are burdened with the malware of ad-tech and addiction, and our storage is clogged with video entertainment. But if you've got to recall 100 obscure factoids, the average 6th grader in 2025 with access to Siri and Google will beat Einstein with a card catalog, and then return to rotting their brain with TikTok.

I don't know what this means for the future. But "The average college student is illiterate" follows with the unstated subtext "and this is going to be a disaster when they need that education to do stuff in the future" and I don't think that's accurate.
This still works if you get your phone too close to an electric guitar!

There is no European nuclear stockpile, so the first step would have to be making one to safeguard. France has made it clear that its nuclear weapons are France's alone.

I find many of these financial sites to be close to BS. There’s a part they get right and part they get wrong:

1. “X happened”

2. “Because of Y”

They usually get the first bit right—the facts. Unfortunately, they frequently BS the second part.

Oddly this time I’m not even sure the facts are right on observation of today’s market.
Yep, I've seen more than my fair share of Fox News in my day :-(
This kind of punishing a politician, though correct legally, would only backfire on the party in power. This was seen in many cases throughout the history of democracies, including Trump's case. No wonder that, politicians happily get into jail as it would get them sympathy credit. And people are not entirely wrong in giving that sympathy.
Sure! So my prototype is implemented as a Postgres extension that hooks into transaction as well table and index storage and implements them on top of FoundationDB.

This makes Postgres itself stateless and all data storage and transaction processing is handled by FoundationDB, turning Postgres into a fully distributed database akin to CockroachDB and others.

This has a number of advantages:
- Simple horizontal scaling simply by adding more nodes, including automatic sharding (no need for Citus or similar)
- Distributed and strictly serializable transactions across all your data
- Automatic replication for durability and read performance. No need to set up read replicas or configure your client to route queries to them.
- Built-in fault tolerance that can handle node failures and full zone outages. No need to configure replication and failovers.
- Multi-tenancy through FoundationDB's built-in tenants feature

All this while not just maintaining Postgres compatibility but actually being Postgres, so hopefully all the features/extensions you know and love will be supported.

I'm planning on publishing to this repo if you want to keep an eye on it: https://github.com/fabianlindfors/pgfdb. Likely won't publish any of the source at first but just some instructions for testing it out.
You read what you wanted from the article. Think about what the article is saying. A technologist saying that the technology that they ostensibly co-created is so toxic that it has to be opted out of, the whole game and all. That is rank shirking of responsibility, a self-centered and anti-social non-remedy.

> we want them to be a contest of human skill on the part of the athlete, not just the amount of money someone is willing to spend on the team

This is simply not reflected very well in how professional sports are structured. If this were really a priority teams wouldn't be privately owned. It has extremely negative effects on each sport, easily dwarfing the influence of performance enhancing drugs.

Anyway, I would absolutely love to see what the human body is capable of. To me, hearing a ban of performance enhancing drugs is a guarantee of a more boring and less competitive game. I understand the impetus of protecting children, but we're already buying and selling humans. How good of an influence was this to begin with?
Q: How open?

Can it be used commercially? Is the training protocol going to be open? Or just the weights released like Llama models?
Please provide a link to back this up. The Eater.com article you linked to elsewhere is from 2016 and refers to a specific enforcement action where a company plead guilty to food adulteration for adding excessive cellulose to parmesan cheese.

There's nothing messy about this.

Rules should be followed. If when rules are broken no punishment is applied, the rules are meaningless. Once rules become meaningless, everyone will be emboldened to break the rules, to the detriment of society as a whole.

If you want the rules changed, vote for them being changed, don't give free pass for any asshole to break them.
