Show HN: Click2Load – Streamline Truck Dispatching with One-Click Email Tools
Hey HN, I’m excited to share Click2Load (https://click2load.net), a tool I’ve been working on to simplify truck dispatching and broker communication. It’s a Chrome extension that lets dispatchers send emails directly from loadboards like DAT with a single click—no more tedious copying and pasting. Features include customizable email templates, seamless Gmail/Microsoft Outlook integration, and built-in RPM calculations to book loads faster.

We’ve integrated with Stripe for secure billing and offer a free 7-day trial (no credit card needed). It’s designed to cut stress, save time, and boost efficiency for carriers and dispatchers in the logistics space. Setup takes under 60 seconds, and we’re already getting feedback from users who’ve doubled their booking speed.

Would love your thoughts—what do you think about this approach? Any features you’d want to see added for logistics workflows? Check it out here: https://click2load.net

We have been looking at Hamming distance vs time to signature for ambient note generation in medicine. Any other metrics? Lots of metrics in the ML papers, but a lot of them seem sus. They take a lot of work to reproduce or they are designed around some strategy like maxing out the easy true
negatives (so you get desirable accuracy and F1 score), etc. as someone trying to build validation protocols I can get vendors to enable (need them to write certain data from memory to a DB table we can access) I’d welcome that discussion. Right now the MBAs running the hospital systems are doing whatever their ML buddies say without regard to patient or provider.
I know that many people from such countries were in favour of Brexit for exactly that reason, and I remember people a the time saying they "just" wanted to change where migrants came from and pick only the best[0] — so if this had been simply a change to the national origins of immigrants, that would not have been a surprise.

The surprise is immigration went up, given so many spoke and wrote so vocally and emotionally during the campaign as if immigration was an existential threat.

Myself, I did the opposite and emigrated: I figured that politicians who thought Brexit was a good thing to campaign for wouldn't be ones I'd like to live under — Johnson demonstrated I was correct.

[0] as if any country can do that. Then as now, and in many countries not just the UK, there's a lot of people who assume their own country is automatically amazing and everyone would move there immediately if allowed.
No need to rely on anecdotal evidence:

Trump was an isolationist in his first term, and his campaign used this to convince muslim voters that he'd continue this in his second term and withdraw support for Israel.

Instead, he announced a US funded ethnic cleansing campaign in the region, and the cornerstone of his budget is funding to illegally deploy the US Military in the US. One of their main goals is rounding up "anti-semetics" which seems to mean anyone that's against genocide, especially this exact group of Trump voters.

My suspicion is that they fell for it because they're less familiar with US politics, either due to a language barrier or due to being 1st and 2nd generation immigrants without grandparents that remember the McCarthy trials, or the US deporting jews back to Nazi Germany.

Your initial comment was meant to draw some type of equivalence between a person being arrested in America for writing an op-ed and for people being drafted for war in Ukraine.

Now you're 5 comments deep tying yourself in odd knots like "the US is being invaded by a foreign government" and "Ukraine is not at war" and "executive orders can overrule Constitutional due process rights."

You created your own confusion, my friend. An asinine starting position like your initial equivalence will do that to ya.
Yeah, there's a bunch of reasons Hollywood is notoriously known for "Development Hell" as its longest phase in the creative process. Production is generally "quick" and has a lot known knowns. Development is a lot of gossip and paperwork and contracts and writes and rewrites and license agreements and market studies and so forth, sometimes "forever" even for projects "everyone" thinks should be an easy thing to kick off and wants to see on some screen.

"Select multiple" is just a list of checkboxes. The missing part (which is also missing from select) is just the filtering.

I am not holding my breath for a decent "select multiple" field. It's been the same crap for decades and browsers could have fixed it long again without waiting for spec - it's just a "replaced element", but they don't care.

The fun part is that it looks amazing on Safari iOS (and QED it's rendered as a list of checkboxes)
My experience is there's also a fundamentally inborn notion of "fair price" and "fair pay" that people are born with, that they have to be educated out of to operate successfully in the modern economy. It's one way in which our system is kinda anti-human—it assumes a kind of game-playing that's seen as wrong by people, naturally, and you have to play that game or you can't succeed. "What the market will bear" doesn't feel fair to people until they're made to see it as fair.
PLM, which OP has expertise in, is usually tied to the IT infrastructure in the digital engineering in the manufacturing industry. That's not going away anywhere soon. We are still far away from a full automation / digitalization in these areas.

Surely if he was pushed to violence for personal reasons, you'd expect him to shoot up the hospital that botched his back surgery? Why shoot the CEO of a company where he had no personal connection to? Does "despair" just mean any sort of grievance? Can you say that someone shooting up a planned parenthood clinic was because "despair" at "babies being killed" or whatever?
Yeah, the "book a flight" agent thing is a running joke now - it was a punchline in the Swyx keynote for the recent AI Engineer event in NYC: https://www.latent.space/p/agent

I think this piece is underestimating the difficulty involved here though. If only it was as easy as "just pick a single task and make the agent really good at that"!

The problem is that if your UI involves human beings typing or talking to you in a human language, there is an unbounded set of ways things could go wrong. You can't test against every possible variant of what they might say. Humans are bad at clearly expressing things, but even worse is the challenge of ensuring they have a concrete, accurate mental model of what the software can and cannot do.
I disagree with "on principle." There are flaws in the design of IEEE 754 and omitting strict adherence for the purposes of performance is fine, if not required for some applications.

For example, recursive filters (even the humble averaging filter) will suffer untold pain without enabling DAZ/FTZ mode.

fwiw the linked issue has been remedied in recent compilers and isn't a python problem, it's a gcc problem. Even that said, if your algorithm requires subnormal numbers, for the love of numeric stability, guard your scopes and set the mxcsr register accordingly!

In a Warming World, Why Is the Southern Ocean Getting Cooler?
My grandparents - sometime in the '80s - had an early-model cordless phone. It was a lovely object: the ivory-colored plastic handset was a smooth curve, with no sharp edges. Being able to talk on the phone from the backyard was magic! It had just enough range that my grandmother could carry on a conversation throughout her daily circumnavigation of the house to turn on the sprinklers.

Sometime after they got it, so did their next-door neighbors (not necessarily the same model: they weren't - irony! - on speaking terms), and then sometimes you'd pick up the handset and find yourself eavesdropping on both sides of the neighbor's phone call. Fortunately, the manufacturer had anticipated this: there was a three-position frequency-selection switch on the side. (I can't remember if the base station hopped to whatever you set on the handset, or if you had to set it manually on the base, too.) That worked fine for a while, we used frequency #2, the neighbors used... one of the others, until (I assume - we never heard anyone else's calls) a further-away neighbor or two also got a cordless phone, and the next-door folks had to frequency hop.

They put up with that for a while, and then sadly reverted to corded phones until more-advanced cordless tech became available.
Probably a no go for Spanish speakers.
A buddy and me have been working on https://microfn.dev for a while: A platform for creating, managing and composing tiny (micro) javascript functions and using them from different places like webhooks, cron, MCP or AI agents.

It's still very heavy in development but the gist is: Say you have a cool idea for something small you want to automate or run - instead of thinking about hosting, workers, lambdas and what not, you just open microfn, open the editor (or the function generator), write your function, hit save - done! All the complexity is tucked away on microfn, and your place of use just has to authenticate with microfn and nothing else. We run it for you and keep you productive.

Now you can use that function from anywhere: From the terminal, periodically with a cron, add it to an AI agent as skill, use it through an MCP (not released yet), through Siri shortcuts, share it with your friends and so on.

Say you want to have an agent or function that gets the weather and sends it through Telegram: You can either quickly generate 2 functions through the AI function generator that get the weather ("I want a function that gets the weather for Tokyo") and another one for sending a message on telegram, or you can use what's already available (such as https://microfn.dev/david/getweathertokyo). Equipping them to an agent works like in a video game - each function is a new "skill" or "tool" the agent can use, and if someone else already has some cool skills, you can fork them without needint to re-implement everything from scratch.

So like a toolbox full of small composable hammers and tools that can be used across different scenarios and places, to be plugged into existing workflows, automation or to even be used in autonomous agents and through MCP.

Again, super heavy in development and not really a 1.0 yet, more like an early alpha, but wanted to share here anyway. Feedback greatly appreciated!
I feel like you should give the presumption of confidence to the archivist at one of the most prestigious universities in the world.
> School buses, as they are, are not acceptably accessible for the general public.

Here's a fun fact: Most busses and trucks are designed to protect other drivers in the event of a collision from the rear, because otherwise the car would slide under the heavier raised vehicle and decapitate the driver. School busses, on the other hand, are designed to carry children, and the safety of other drivers is a much lower priority:

The company I _used_ to work at, I implemented exactly that policy and only required rotation after a password reset (like initial account assignment), and should it have ever happened, after any sign of account or credential breach.

I was so happy when NIST finally recognized that people aren't machines and can't perfectly remember a new strong password with high frequency.
The NCAA is the governing body for collegiate sports, of which there are three divisions. Schools that belong to Division 1 typically have the highest level of competition, while Division 3 is the lowest.

The Saints are a professional American Football team. A lineman is a defensive player on a football team. Being selected as an "All-Pro" means the player was voted as one of the best players in his position in the entire league (and I guess by extension, the world) during that season.

This person was an extreme outlier in the sea of otherwise average students/graduates at this school.
You seem to be coming from the assumption that checks and balances requires granting random outsiders full transparency into the court docket during the investigation phase. That’s not how it has ever worked, because it would tip off those being investigated.

Our system allows for challenging the government’s right to execute a search after the search has happened. And it isn’t open to random interlopers who think they’ve spotted a government misstep—you must have standing to challenge a search. The architects of this system didn’t want justice to get caught up in the equivalent of a GitHub pull request war.

Eventually the warrant will become unsealed and we can all inspect it.

No animal of "normal" levels of equality ever escapes punishment to such a degree unless the technicality is something so egregious that it would set a bad precedent and be egg on the court's face.

It's disgusting and enraging the degree to which there is a two tier justice system in this country, one for agents of the government and those who curry their favor, and a neither separate nor equal one for the peasants.

There are plenty of streaming audio amp solutions currently on the market - Wiim builds a nice one. But some of us don't want to run speaker wires through the walls for a home theater.

I've given a lot of thought to building a system that will work without a dedicated internet connection and this system won't require a central server to check-in to. I too have 25+ year old speakers that work just fine (Paradigm Titan's from 1998) and that's partly my inspiration. I wanted more sound from them but there's no way to upgrade traditional passive speakers. I don't want these speakers to be bricked if my company fails. They also don't need an app to work. The TV can control it through the eARC connection.

I appreciate your thoughts!
You can also get an Epyc 9115 for $800, motherboard for $640, and 12 16-GiB ddr5-6400 dims for $1400, that gives you 614.4 GiB/sec, for around $2800. You may also want to add in a small GPU to do prompt processing (inference on a CPU is memory bandwidth bound, prompt processing is processing bound).
> Who is doing the redefining?

The people who are saying that excluding books from libraries isn't banning. It's straightforward. Discussing this reminds me of arguing with my narcissist father - he slips through conflict by redefining terms to fit his inability to take accountability and recognize that his actions have consequences.

It really is a bad look to argue like this for a group of people who are trying to accomplish a goal.
IMHO, Fedora's Atomic Desktops[^1] are the way to go for that. Automatic upgrades you can roll back if something breaks? Yes, please.

Universal Blue[^2] has some spins that got a glow up, but their dev team gives a bit of the "everything old is bad" vibe.

OpenSUSE's MicroOS[^3] desktops aren't ready for nontechnical people, but their atomic upgrade strategy is much faster and simpler (btrfs snapshots). I'm keeping an eye on it.

In every single age group, more people think immigration is too high than about right or too low. Significantly more. Using latest poll from 24th March, 2025:

18-24 years: Immigration is: too high: 42%, about right + too low: 35%

25-49 years: Immigration is: too high: 59%, about right + too low: 23%

50-64 years: Immigration is: too high: 79%, about right + too low: 14%

65+ years: Immigration is: too high: 85%, about right + too low: 12%

And is the government that is going against the wishes of its populace by implementing ever greater mass immigration, funding propaganda against immigration?

As for why Brexit 'caused' increased immigration - you think it is a simple cause-and-effect? Or could it be that there is a government in the way, that enacts immigration policy independently of EU membership?

On the FOSS front, I've been doing some minor things in TXR Lisp land.

Here is one:

When the random/rand functions are called with small moduli, well under 32 bits wide, they still draw a 32 bit word from the PRNG. I fixed that. Now the random state has a 32 bit shift register which it can load from the PRNG and take bits from it (in batches of 2, 4, 8 or 16).

There is a way to do this without any additional state other than that 32 bit word to indicate that the register has run out of bits.

We pretend that the register is 33 bits wide, giving it an indicator high bit that is always 1. Thus whenever the value drops to 1 or 0, it has to be reloaded. We cannot fit that indicator bit into the register, so what we do is: when we are reloading it with a fresh value, we immediately take bits we need from that value, shift it right, which creates the space for the bit. We then mask the bit in the right spot, depending on the shift size.

I worked on enhancing brace expansion in the glob* function. The regular glob* function has brace expansion if it is provided by the POSIX C library one, but the extended glob* has its own. I added numeric and string range expansion to it. It's better than the corresponding features in bash, because you can use more than one character, as in {AA..ZZ}. Also, if you use leading zeros in numeric ranges you get leading zeros in the output, as in {000..999}. The step sizes are supported.

Inspired by the step sizes in brace expansion, I added the same to range iteration:

2> [map cons 0..10..2 "a".."z"..3]
((0 . "a") (2 . "d") (4 . "g") (6 . "j") (8 . "m"))

... and other stuff. There are a number of items remaining on the TODO list marked for next release.

Hi all,

For about 4.5 years, we have been providing browser-based training and have now decided to offer something similar for smartphones. We realized that many people are considering a career in cybersecurity but aren't sure yet. They want a general understanding without investing heavily in time and money.

So, we prepared free lessons (all of them are free) of about 5 minutes each and various learning paths.

> The US is on their second republic because the articles of confederation failed, and is looking down the barrel of a second dissolution as we speak.

The US constitutional system has arguably been reconstituted at least 3 times (in order of plausibility): US Civil War and Reconstruction amendments, FDR and New Deal, LBJ and Civil Rights Act of 1964. The latter two were not even primarily accomplished via formal Constitutional amendment, just a reinterpretation of what the Constitution allowed and compelled. What makes Trump different than those? Just the fact that, unlike the first three, it's more right-wing than progressive?

I’m not saying that whatever is happening now is necessarily good, but will it lead to the collapse of the US Constitution?
