The Open Source Observatory (OSOR), a key platform for open-source adoption in public services, featured Trufi in a case study on how our tools help cities digitize and improve public transport.

Trufi builds open-source solutions to map and integrate informal transport networks—essential services in many cities of the global South. Our tools, powered by OpenStreetMap and open data, make these networks more visible, efficient, and respectable.

“Trufi is playing an essential role in transforming how public transport data is handled in cities with limited resources.”
If you hired a competent professional accountant, in all but the most contrived scenarios you wouldn't have to worry about legal trouble at all.
Stop blaming the rich and the corporations. They love when 8 billion people throw up their hands and give up, while continuing to buy cheap stuff.

Blaming the rich/corps is exactly what they want. They'll gladly be your bad guy as long as you keep buying their goods, which people do.

We are blasted by capitalist logic that we are shaped by. The second anyone says "maybe everyday people need to consume less?" people freak out like they're being assaulted. But nobody seems to call out corporations for their, "You deserve this environmental disaster of a hamburger" propaganda advertisement.

The world's few thousand illionaires don't consume like the other 8 billion people. Using the rich as an excuse just perpetuates the destruction and let's the rich continue.

The absolute worst part? Most people idolize the rich and pretend that one day they too will be rich. Capitalism has convinced us that we are entitled to excess. Calling out how insane this is is a social no-no because it makes people fee-fees hurt.
Often say this. The choice of words like "reason" or "hallucinate" are designed to lull discourse into assumed behaviour towards AGI. Because they analogize reasoning, it boils the frog slowly to widespread belief in a mind.

They are terms of art they do have specific meaning in context but it's bad.
Yeah I think this is the one, in terms of number of users, revenue, etc. The iPhone is more than 50% of their revenue, Mac is only ~8. Lower volume and higher price, but it doesn't come anywhere near their phone. Same with tablets, although they share an app revenue income stream with the iphone which makes up for the difference in hardware sales.
AITA for barely doing anything at work?
TeX puts more space after periods/fullstops (which is why you're supposed to do special markup or other measures to mark '.' in the middle of sentences which aren't sentence-enders (e.g. like e.g.)). But it's generally smaller than the equivalent of two manual spaces.

(A nice thing in (La)TeX is that one could follow the "two spaces after a full-stop" rule, which then has the advantage of being an explicit marking for sentence boundaries (which your editor might be able to navigate; Emacs has a convention of assuming two spaces after a sentence-ending '.'), but then the TeX typesetting will take care of making it look right. I lost the habit of actually doing this, for better or worse, except when flycheck/checkdoc/package-linter.el makes me do it for docstrings.)

Nothing it can do I couldn‘t do myself before: All the information it gives me I could get myself, though admittedly, slower.

I wonder if people that are amazed by LLM lack this information gathering skill.

Wikipedia is one of the better sources out there for topics that are not seen as political.

For politically loaded topics, though, Wikipedia has become increasingly biased towards one side over the past 10-15 years.
XP was a massive change in that it was the merger of the Windows NT and Windows 9x lines.

It was perceived as bloated because it struggled on the hardware of the time.

Then it needed a near total rewrite with SP2 because it was riddled with security issues.
I mean, wouldn't an IR carbon filament heater suffice? Probably a bit longer wavelengths, but you can still see it glow, so you're getting at least a bit close to the visible spectrum

You think something other than renter protections was stopping her from kicking her squatter out?
Spot on. The trouble with accelerationists is that they assume they know what will happen.

The French revolution was pretty much unleashed with that mindset. Upper class figures wanted to get rid of the nobility/royalty monopoly on power. They thought they could profit from a new arrangement. Then the terror began.

I'm afraid this is what we're in for here. The oligarchs think they can steer this. They want to speed up climate change, treat the world to some shock therapy and come up on top. If they're right, we're screwed. If they're wrong, we're even more screwed.
Isn't a logical next step to extract the depth field? Possible?
This seems so fake. They suddenly decide to go on a vacation and want to return on a small inexpensive plane that then crashes with their entire family on it in Switzerland less than 2min from takeoff?

Call it a conspiracy but I won’t at all be surprised when someone discovered they have transferred a large amount of funds to some “family friends” that look suspiciously like them but live in the Cayman Islands.
> Photoshop All Creative Cloud £59.99 pcm (£720 pa)

And the worst thing about that 'package' is that if you need (say) just Photoshop + Illustrator - well suddenly the 'cheapest' way to do that is paying for the entire package of garbage that you don't want and will never need.

Method dispatch mechanisms in Swift: static and dynamic dispatch
It is "integrated" in the way that the processor is an APU that has specific memory bus requirements. That's all. It is not an integrated software-hardware system that is finetuned, and that board is not any better than a a generic motherboard would be for a regular processor.

My point is that this system is not integrated in the way apple fans usually define the word. I'd claim it is not integrated at all. It is a regular PC (but with soldered ram), which is exactly like framework announced it.

There should be no need to sprinkle some apple marketing bs on that to make it attractive.
The problem Sabine tries to communicate is that reality is different from what the cash-heads behind main commercial models are trying to portray. They push the narrative that they’ve created something akin to human cognition, when in reality, they’ve just optimised prediction algorithms on an unprecedented scale. They are trying to say that they created Intelligence, which is the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills, but we all know the only real Intelligence they are creating is the collection of information of military or political value.

The technology is indeed amazing and very amusing, but like all the good things in the hands of corporate overlords, it will be slowly turning into profit-milking abomination.
Show HN: I Built AvcadoAI to Easily Analyze Every Ingredient in My Food
I’m thrilled to introduce Avcado AI – your personal food detective that’s here to make food transparency effortless.

The Problem

Did you know there are over 10,000 food additives used in the food we eat every day? Most of us have no idea what they are or what they do to our bodies. It’s like staring into a black box of chemicals, while all we want is to protect our health and make informed choices.

The truth is, the food industry thrives on this opacity. But we believe everyone deserves to know what they’re eating.

The Solution

Avcado AI is the bridge between the food industry’s complexity and your right to clarity. Here’s how it works:

1. Scans food packaging to identify every ingredient listed.

2. Explains each ingredient in simple terms, so you know what it is and why it’s used.

3. Flags risky ingredients and explains why they might be harmful.

4. Provides special alerts for sensitive groups, helping them make safer choices.

Why it matters

No more guesswork, no more squinting at fine print. Avocado AI empowers you to take control of what you eat – in seconds.
Is it actually true though? They've lied about other things, what stops them from lying about that?

For 2 years they've said "Kagi has zero marketing budget and spends zero on marketing", that's a lie and they still haven't changed it. They've sponsored over 200 youtube videos https://filmot.com/search/%22brought%20to%20you%20in%20assoc...
Not really, I rather play on the platform they were designed for in first place.
>Claude will plan what it will say many words ahead, and write to get to that destination. We show this in the realm of poetry, where it thinks of possible rhyming words in advance and writes the next line to get there. This is powerful evidence that even though models are trained to output one word at a time, they may think on much longer horizons to do so.

Models aren't trained to do next word prediction though - they are trained to do missing word in this text prediction.
I sometimes wish Claris Works 5 was still around. It was small and fast, did everything I actually needed when writing documents or letters and nothing I didn't need, and had a clean, uncluttered UI that made sense.
"Anything I missed?" is better than "any questions?" but even better would be "what have I missed?" because it makes you question open and can't easily be answered with yes or no and therefore requires more engagement. I usually ask "what have I missed?" or, more often, "which questions do you have?" -- both require more than a silent treatment as an answer and the "which" question in particular is very open and invitational.
Maybe kinda TA. They could be honest. The company would save money paying them less for the same outcome but this is human but eg if it was government, this would be wasting public money.

I told my boss I was semi idle they found more work for me to do.

> And anyone familiar with the workings of governments and politicians would tell you the use of Signal/WhatsApp is pervasive throughout most of the world.

Hold up, we're not talking about politicians sharing dirty jokes, planning campaign rallies, or messaging a staffer to pick up their dry-cleaning here.

We're talking about a whole stack of problematic circumstances, where each detail makes it much rarer:

1. Using their personal phone for official business.

2. Engaged in a conspiracy to violate government record-keeping laws by deleting records of official business.

3. Where that official business involved classified information, the kind where soldiers are put in jail for leaking it.

4. Actively leak-bragging those classified details to coworkers with zero "need to know."

5. About regarding how their government is about to bomb an entire apartment building of civilians because they think one guy went inside.

DOGE is about revenge. All of this is about sending a very clear message to certain people. The message is that intellectualism is under attack. Anyone going against what Trump and Co want is an enemy.

That's it. It isn't complicated. When you view Trump this way his actions make much more sense.

This was a great read and summary! About three years ago, I worked in a C#/.NET DDD environment, and now revisiting these concepts in Python really distills the essential parts. As I said, great read — highly recommend it if you're also into this kind of stuff.
That headline makes it sound like he had to flee under the cover of darkness.
I have been thinking about this a lot recently. I have a colleague who simply can’t use LLMs for this reason - he expects them to work like a logical and precise machine, and finds interacting with them frustrating, weird and uncomfortable.

However, he has a very black and white approach to things and he also finds interacting with a lot of humans frustrating, weird and uncomfortable.

The more conversations I see about LLMs the more I’m beginning to feel that “LLM-whispering” is a soft skill that some people find very natural and can excel at, while others find it completely foreign, confusing and frustrating.
Something which bothers me about coroutines is the pure boilerplate -- I don't even mean the ridiculous verbose coroutine definitions in C++20 but just the spread of "await" and "async" keywords all over the code, for instance in Python and Rust. I understand that these keywords are the compromise to introduce the feature into the language without paying for it when not using it, but I wonder if there is not a more concise way. Something not mentioned at all in the particle is the "what color is your function" problem (https://journal.stuffwithstuff.com/2015/02/01/what-color-is-...) where I wonder whether there is a good solution.
Wild that you're getting downvoted. I agree with you. Housing affordability is a wealth inequality problem.
I firmly believe that post industrial dietary changes have much broader effects than we are aware of.

Some people say that the increased prevalence of trans people is due to societal acceptance, and nothing to do with pollution or pseudo-estrogens (found in plastics, and released even more with heat). Imagine the amount of BPA kids have been exposed to.

Which of course we cannot do studies on, because the subject is a taboo. As if studying what's causing something, invalidates the identity of people. The hyper individualistic west, eating itself from the inside out.

So how many of those ported game engines are actually making a different on GNU/Linux gaming today?

There is certainly such thing as native, one thing is the platform where the APIs were originally designed for and battled tested, and the other is other platform emulating / translating them, by reverse engineering their behaviours with various degrees of success.

Valve's luck is that so far Microsoft/XBox Gaming has decided to close an eye on Proton, and it will run out when Microsoft decides it has gone long enough.

> I can't think of a mom and pop landlord I had a poor experience with. Financial incentives generally aligned fairly well for me.

I can think of a couple who were absolute nightmares. I can think of a couple others who were an absolute dream. The worst small-time landlord was WAY worse than the worst big property management firm, but the best small-time landlord was far better than the best big property management firm I've been a tenant of.

And yeah, I'm also a low-maintenance tenant. Unless something's broken, I never want to talk to you, nor do I want you in the space that I'm renting. EZ money for them.

> Tenants rights should not include the right to basically be a nuisance and a leech upon society.

The thing about strong tenants' rights laws is they're not protection against reasonable landlords; they are a shield against scumbag landlords who would treat their tenants very poorly.

For example, in San Francisco, someone who stays in a place for thirty days without a lease becomes a month-to-month tenant that requires an eviction to remove. Why? Because scumbag landlords would refuse to provide leases to tenants and toss them out into the streets on a moment's notice.

Similarly, I recall regulation preventing hotels from requiring tenants to check out and then check back in during extended stays. [0] Why? So that scumbag hotel operators can't prevent the long-term rental regulations from taking effect for renters who are -in fact- long-term renters.

To point at an analogous situation: the same rules and regulations that generally prevent cops from putting very, very careful wrongdoers who should be imprisoned (but haven't left enough evidence to prove their wrongdoing) behind bars generally also prevent cops from imprisoning folks who have done nothing wrong just on those cops' say-so.

[0] Though, I'm unable to muster the effort required to locate this regulation.
Good point. I see his current domain is "devblogs.microsoft.com". A few times I have seen @dang (or a teammate?) upgrade the HN software to show more URL details on the homepage. It would be nice to do the same for this one. A good example is fortune.com. Their blogs are utter rubbish, and their URLs now appear on the front page as something like "fortune.com/blogs" instead of just "fortune.com" (reserved for actual articles from the magazine).
Look at the comments here. No one is claiming that LLMs are reliable, while numerous people are claiming that Wikipedia is reliable.
You're right but you're also missing the fact that the currently predominant mindset of selfish resource accumulation was actually manufactured. In the early 20th century, psychological and psychiatric research was weaponized by large corporations to solve overproduction crisis by creating consumerism.

There's a great documentary about it called "The Century of Self"

This isn't the inevitable product of human psyche. This is an engineered state devised to do precisely what's driving climate change: consume resources at an accelerating rate.
It's not really a failure.
Linux distribution and diverse ecosystem brings a level of complexity.
The only way to support it long term is to either having your team continuously update and release builds of the game to cater for that which is an impossible task to ask for a lot of studios.

The initial approach of runtimes did help but it's still has its limitation.

If now a studio just need to test their game under a runtime+proton the same way they would test a version of Windows to ensure it's working under Linux it's a win/win situation. Proton becomes the abstraction of the complex and diverse ecosystem of Linux which is both its strength and weakness.

Another solution would have been everybody using the exact same distribution which would have been way worse in my opinion.

And who knows, maybe one day Proton/Wine would be the Windows userland reference and Windows would just be an implementation of it :D

What I gather from this the single decision Google could make to improve Google Search is not to give Pinterest preferential treatment as most people hate it (not the site itself, it has its uses, but the way it's promoted in Google Image Search results).
I grew up very close to the HNF and spend a great time there during my childhood to the point that the employees all knew me by name. The museum took a great part in shaping me into the nerdy person that I am today and put me into the career-path that I am currently on. The museum is amazing and the exhibitions are always fascinating, I greatly recommend them to anyone who is ever in the area.
Yes indeed. This is because it's very disconcerting to see yourself non-mirrored.
The problem is it's not enough to give. You have to show that you're taking from the people who caused the problem.
At which point started to be important in science that “public can understand”? I think if something is a better explanation for the reality, we ahould go for it, even if it is difficult for the public.

Disclaimer: in this case I have absolutely no idea what is better. But the rationale seems wrong.
Awesome work. The tool seems interesting, I'll give it a try.
Huh, TIL!

Launchpad has to be one of the worst ways to find and open applications on a Mac. That new window-managing system is honestly so unintuitive, so bad, and so bizarre that its mere existence feels like some sort of practical joke.

I wish that in the next version of macOS, they would strip away all those useless features and systems that they've shoehorned over the past two decades and have the OS look like how Panther or Tiger did, while taking up less than 10 GB of space on the puny SSDs that they ship their machines with.
This is deeply flawed thinking. It also doesn't really make sense in the real world.

How does anyone hear about the thing you're doing or making? How do people figure out how to get involved? How do you attract different people(women, POC, etc) to your thing if they aren't already represented?

People don't just magically know about something that's interesting to them. They have to discover it.

Tons of very influential or popular figures only took their path because of things like comic books(art) from NASA. I wouldn't be an engineer today if it weren't for stuff like How It's Made or Bill Nye. Representation matters.
I wonder what it tastes like
When I use Claude to iterate/troubleshoot I do it in a project and in multiple chats. So if I test something and it throws and error or gives an unexpected result I’ll start a new chat to deal with that problem, correct the code, update that in the project, then go back to my main thread and say “I’ve update this” and provide it the file, “now let’s do this”. When I started doing this it massively reduced the LLM getting lost or going off on weird quests. Iteration in side chats, regroup in the main thread. And then possibly another overarching “this is what I want to achieve” thread where I update it on the progress and ask what we should do next.

The Future of Swift Serialization and Deserialization APIs
After reading the article I wondered if the adapter would work with other mice and if not wouldn't that cause confusion. So I guess we got an answer to those questions.
Shame... All those sprites and tile backgrounds are just begging for a DMCA take down. Why not just put up the tools that disassemble those from the ROM instead?
Yes, we support multiple languages, covering nearly every language.
