"President Trump has sued a number of U.S. news outlets, including 60 Minutes, CNN, The Washington Post, The New York Times and other smaller media organizations for unflattering coverage."

Ok, you're straight up lying about what's happening.

The rest of the article has similar lies.

> the US can't shutdown hardware remotely

I agree with the assertion that there's no proof of a full killswitch based on known past events, but the above quoted statement is also a lot more definitive than I'm willing to be.

With a fighter jet as dependent upon electronic support systems as the F35 and which is sold around the world why wouldn't you put a highly classified backdoor killswitch into it just in case?

The idea that such a killswitch might exist is one that could have always reasonably been pondered, what's new is any/all non-US "Western" governments having to seriously entertain the idea that they would end up in a situation where the US would have a reason to use it against them.
That is not true, people championed others to be removed from all kinds of platforms.

I am not inclined to defend any stupid opinion, but especially on topics like the pandemic people were cheering on others getting banned. There is a political cost to this and that does extend to people having little ground to criticise the current US administration on these grounds.
Now let's see if the filters are not changed in a while, and how that effects the studies (not on purpose, I'm guessing that the upkeep is not very good with filters in general)

You are right that he is making some heavy-handed generalizations, but then again, he is replying to the OP making a very populist generalization about people with wealth as well, as if he has figured everything out - and OP isn't getting any flack for that. It may be the difference between American culture / "the new rich" vs. European culture, but my experience with people with great material wealth is very different and not easily generalizable.

> If your bar to helping others is ending all suffering within yourself, then I'm afraid we're all going to be living a very lonely existence if we followed your lead.

Logically that does not make any sense. If everyone is able to relieve themselves of their own suffering (no one else can anyway, in an ultimate sense), which includes loneliness, then there would be no more suffering. This is a Buddhist mindset that seems kind of harsh at first, but it's a reality people benefit from once they accept it: you must become your own savior. And once you are in good place, even just mentally, it becomes very natural and easy to help out others.

Problems only start when people reject this idea, and think they have all the answers to all the problems, and start enforcing their beliefs on others using violence - which is a trend we're seeing more & more these days.
There is less apartheid in Israel than in every other surrounding country with quite a large margin for that matter.

You use words like fascism while decrying "framing". This is ridiculous.

But no, I don't advocate you getting banned for a stupid opinion. Perhaps that can be the minimal consensus.
That's not entirely true at Amazon. It's expected for many of the more involved people in the meeting to read ahead of time, and at least be familiar with the subject.

At the same time, the time is given because not everyone will have time to read ahead of time. That 15 minutes at the start is their calendar block; think of managers who have back to back meetings all day.

It's not some referendum on people being careless.
> But because it hasn't become cannon in any group or culture, it's a bad idea in that it doesn't produce human flourishing.

I am not convinced that's certain. At best, we can tell that those cultures were outcompeted by others, but the healthy human cells are outcompeted by cancer as well. Additionally, I'd say that throughout most of the human history taking care of the world in the modern sense was not an existential matter because we had much more room for error.
I'm currently trying to transition from a fairly rigid day job into working as an independent developer. The goal is to build useful online tools and hopefully create a sustainable income stream doing something I find more engaging.

One consistent annoyance in my professional work has been dealing with PDFs – specifically, extracting information into editable formats without losing structure. Copy-pasting often creates a mess.

So, my first project tackling this is an online PDF to Markdown converter: https://pdftomarkdown.pro/

I've focused heavily on trying to maintain good formatting for headings, text flow, formulas, and especially table structure (getting rows/columns right in Markdown). It also has an online editor for quick modifications after conversion.

A key aspect for me was privacy: the application explicitly does not save the content of uploaded PDFs or the generated Markdown files. It only stores minimal metadata (email, filename, page count) for registered users' plan limits.

It's very much a "scratching my own itch" project born out of that PDF frustration. Early days, but hoping it proves useful for others too.

> All research is met on HN by people who know better and will tell you why it's flawed

It is almost certainly flawed, and it is probably wrong: https://journals.plos.org/plosmedicine/article?id=10.1371/jo...

If you are discussing research at all it is important to discuss the flaws too. The alternative I can see would be to take every published paper as proven true even though we know this is not the case.
I wonder how much of the improvement was due to reversion to the mean. When bringing everyone back, you would expect a sharp peak of infections which would decay to normal levels after a while - filters or not. I'm sure they do still have some positive effect though.
Going to work while sick exposes everyone there to whatever you have. That’s a very careless act.
I have no idea how many of those giants Hegel actually influenced. The list covers so many famous intellectuals that I suppose the only 20th Century writer worth reading is Dale Carnegie; he's the only guy left!
Technically I'd be voting against both.

If enough people do this then the candidates should be thrown out and a new election held.

My team’s building micro AI agents that perform very specific tasks really well. Right now, we see ourselves more as a consulting firm, developing custom agents while we search for the right vertical to specialize in. Eventually, we’d love to turn that into a SaaS product.

Ok ... now include the fact that for every referendum that passed there are about 5 that were suddenly canceled, some halfway through.

And I don't understand, given western European election results of the last 20 years, anyone could argue the EU either is popular or is becoming more popular. Even in Germany (which along with France has more than it's fair share of power in the EU), the German state is 1000x more popular than the EU.
Note that Paul is wrong when he says that "take care of the world" wasn't part of the time tested answer.

Ancient populations like the Romans had the concept of numens, deus loci, and gods of nature that were responsible for the world, were venerated and people who devoted them to these deities did their part to help the world. Being a good host (i.e. the rapport with the Other) was also always a key duty, so much that it is Zeus/Jupiter who presided to it.

It was always part of the farmer's job to take care of nature and their fields. It was part of the nobility jobs to develop their territories. It is only in modern times, with mechanized agriculture and nation states, that these personal duties got lost.
Also, if we widen our attention to include aboriginal people, taking care of the world is quite central to their world view.

March was quite productive:

* there was major (somewhat breaking) upgrade to the language

* We have a working web (wasm) console again

* full binary builds with some improvements for Windows that before didn't get much attention.

* full function reference with unit tests should arrive soon

People would hear more of them if they weren't so coarse. Be generous. You'd might be surprised what you're missing.
Does it? I once had a course where for some reason administration cut the course hours in half, without cutting the program.
Teacher apologized in advance and asked us to take notes and read them at home later. After every lecture, I kid you not, I was lucky if I could remember the topic that was read to us. Absolutely no facts. It was lectures on topics I was slightly familiar with. And the speed of the lecture wasn't even as high (sic!) as the speed of some youtube lectures I have watched later.

You need to have time to process, but when you have to take notes there is a speed at which you just skip processing and instead all of your focus is in transcribing as efficiently as you can.
I imagine, the speed differs from person to person. For the most of this course, the teacher hit this speed. And she knew she would hit it. So it seems universal.

If current student generation is worse at taking notes by hand, it could be a real disadvantage for them

Pre-Brexit Britain was the driver for big chunks of EU legislation like the financial services framework.

Obviously you don’t get to write every law to your liking, but Britain certainly wasn’t lacking in influence. They mostly did a good job of picking their battles, but couldn’t make that case to their own voters (many of whom just didn’t care about things like Britain’s finance leadership, of course).
I don't code anymore. I like making devs suffer. And this is all good for the user. ;)
While it is great that this is happening, it seems a bit getting too late to the party.

There is also the whole issue that standard working group, and the folks that actually work on C and C++ compilers, nowadays it is a very thin Venn diagram for the intersection of both groups.

So it remains to be seen how much of this will actually land on compilers, and in what form.

Nevertheless there are many C++ written tools that most likely will never be rewritten into something else, so any improvement is welcomed.
At depression they'll figure out the codebase is full of const-casts and null-dereferences.

Several things can be true at the same time, depending on what part you look at. In Europe for example EV sales are actually down according to the article, and I think it's fair to say that European car makers and in a bit of crisis.

US car makers will probably be temporarily insulated from the worst shocks thanks to their strong domestic market and lack of competition from Chinese brands. The big question for US EV makers is first what effects will the tariffs have on their supply chain, and if the EV subsides will be rolled back, what effect that will have on the US EV market. The future of US EVs might not be in a crisis, but it is uncertain.

The one thing no one is denying and that the article clearly shows is the Chinese EV makers are going from strength to strength. Not only are they dominating their rapidly growing domestic markets, a market that makes up the majority of global EV sales and most of the growth we are seeing, they are making massive inroads to basically every market other than the US.

So basically if "the industry" is in a crisis or not depends entirely on exactly which industry you are talking about
The situation with glibc is the same, you only depend on functions you use.
PV is not heavily subsidized compared to other energy carriers, and the learning rate has been extremely consistent for a long time.

LCOE takes some of the system costs into account, but it's of course true.

And your second sentence is not how energy markets actually work. Of course I make a contract for reliable supply, but I don't contract with an individual power plant. I contract with an energy company and that buys from the cheapest supplier mix (aka merit order).

The long term contracts for base load run for years, but those, too will eventually have to adpat to the reality of abundant cheap daylight energy.

My main point with PV isn't about the system we have right now. It's that we are in the first days of a new system structured around the new technological reality that only recently emerged. Until very recently nobody, even the optimists, expected PV to get that cheap that fast. It will take decades for the repercussions of this phase transition to shake out. The issue is, due to climate change we don't have decades.

Saying that military action is not off the table to take Greenland is literally insane.

Greenland has always been an ally, if for safety reasons the US needs more military presence on the island they could have just asked for it and it would most likely have been approved.

There is zero reason to use force, but if the US would take such steps I wouldn't be surprised if Europe starts replacing the dollar as reserve currency. This could trigger other nations like China to follow. This move would hurt the US economy way worse than the current trade war does.

I think these lawsuits with large damages against media companies are going in a bad direction. But this also includes the lawsuit against Alex Jones and the Covington kids lawsuit but I don't think you will find many people that have some kind of consistent principal when dealing with this. They will just have some magic rule that will mean the law suit against Alex Jones is good and Trump's law suit is bad or vice versa. There is even a similar thing going with this list of 1A violations from the current administration. Similar things went on with the last administration but I didn't see a Kreb's summary post but maybe I missed it.
Nice article, but framing it around the doomsday clock felt like the author just needed to express his angst on whatever page was in front of him

> As Ukraine shows, peer conflicts are won by other means, not stealth air superiority

I don't think you can conclude that when neither of the belligerents has the capability. As Gulf War shows, training and capabilities (including stealth) do enable SEAD/DEAD to an extent that unlocks air superiority.
I still consider Windows 2000 the best Windows ever made. NT under the hood, slim, up-to-date, extremely stable, it ran all the games I wanted. I managed to grab a burned CD with a full version somewhere, the keys were not yet checked online for multiple installs. For a long time, all software and every driver for XP also worked for 2000.
I think I should find an old retro PC and install W2000 on it, just for fun.
Custom AI Chatbot Development Services: Restrictions and Opportunities
Companies know that off-the-shelf solutions can force them to adapt their processes to the tool, while custom solutions let them preserve those unique processes. When businesses look for a custom AI chatbot, they expect the bot to rely on their proprietary information. Beyond data, firms seek special features that fit their domain. Enterprises view custom chatbots as deeply integrated, highly secure systems that align with their complex workflows. They also look for customization in how the bot behaves, and how it represents their brand.
Please raise this with the university, be it 'Fachschaft' or the ombudsman for academic integrity. This is not representative for CS education here as far as I know. Other teachers or faculty want to know.

Besides that, these are ridiculous claims from the teacher. LLMs are powerful but in the end they are still a tool with random output, which needs to be carefully evaluated. Especially Python is my personal view much more subtle than people assume on first contact. Especially the whole numpy universe is like a separate language and quite complicated for a beginner if you want to write fast and efficient code.

I've had courses where LLMs where allowed for projects but we had to provide prompts.
The point is how the US government handled the matter, and that the votes were affected by that (at least that's the claim).

The size of the Gaza conflict in absolute terms is entirely irrelevant, it easily could've been only 1 person, dominating the media.

What would make your agriculture and fishing industries less competitive by entering our market? I understand EU gives massive subsidies for those, wouldnt your farmers also benefit from those? EU money is distributed regarding the land usage [0], not the production quantity or sustainability. Norway seems a big country and the big deers (or whatever) ranchers would thrive with our system as well as does the biggest ranches in other EU countries. Don’t get me work, this system is unsustainable as it promotes the most land intensive food creation and EU still rely on worldwide importation for its animal feed needs.

I would love if the public discourse would allow for more diversity of opinions. Unfortunately, where I come from, the left has simplified the rhetoric to "If you are of a different opinion then we are, you are either badly educated (read, stupid) or a nazi." Unfortunately, this elitist attitude has only contributed to the divide of the people.
This is simply wrong.

If you think about math as only solving differential equations and inverting matrices by hand, then maybe. This might be how maths are taught in secondary school, but is not at all representative of university-level maths. I use many fields of math on a daily basis at my job and for my personal projects, all of which I've taken courses on:

* Formal logic: boolean algebra, set theory. These are the core of any algorithm.

* Graph theory: working with parse trees, ASTs, and other problems involving relationships.

* Linear algebra: any problem that requires working with vectors or matrices, e.g graphics, many areas of machine learning, ...

* Category theory: type systems, algebraic data types, many other functional programming abstractions.

I'm sure there are many more that I've taken for granted.
