Using myself as an example -- I'm a long time C programmer (occasionally in a professional setting, mostly personal or as a side-item on my primary professional duties). I've picked up other languages through the years, had to deliver a web based application a few years ago so I did a deep-dive into html5, css3, and javascript. Now javascript has evolved since then, and I lost a bit of what I learned.

So now I want to do a new web application -- If I fall back on my C roots, my Javascript looks a lot like C. Example: adding an item to an array. The C style in Javascript would be to track the length of the array in another variable "len", and do something like myarray[len++] = new_value;

I can feed this into an LLM, or even say "Give me the syntax to add a value to an array", and it gives me "myArray.push(newValue)", which reminds me that "Oh yeah, I'm dealing with a functional/object oriented language, I can do stuff like this". And it reminds me that camelCase is preferred in Javascript. (of course, this isn't the real situation I've run into, just a simplified example -- but I really don't have all the method names memorized for each data type. So in that manner it is useful to get more concise (and proper) code.
That summary is technically correct but is missing some context. A famous French philosopher and historian named Michel Foucault popularized Bentham's panopticon as a metaphor for modern society more broadly back in the 60s. IIRC the gist is that the way modern society always watches and monitors us across many aspects of modern life probably has deep but subtle affects on our psyches. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discipline_and_Punish
The article doesn't make any mention of stealth. I think stealth would be a key factor in any serious future space war. On general physics principles, it's not difficult to make a space object with close to zero emissions in a specified direction. The inverse-square law is a helpful ally. Active (i.e. radar or lidar) have rapidly diminishing returns: their signal powers scale as distance^{-4}—doubly inverse-square.

I'm not sure what response can be invented against a dark space object that shoots dark stealth warheads that detonate in the upper atmosphere.
Complete hyperbole.
It is absolutely annoying how difficult it is to find durable glassware. We use glassware for meal prep and freezing leftovers and the modern designs are constantly chipping away at the corners due to poorly designed radiuses. And worse the manufacturers, in particular Pyrex, makes it difficult to buy replacement parts.

For example, they used to provide these excellent "Ultra" lids for their products to replace the terrible plastic lids that constantly break and crack. But, they have slowly been phasing them out and only have a few sizes remaining: https://corelle.com/products/pyrex-r-ultimate-white-lid-for-...

We have stainless steel containers that we use too but those are obviously more annoying because they can't be microwaved at an office/school/etc.

It is really a head scratcher that it is so hard to find quality food storage in 2025.

Can you explain why you think so? it's not self-evident.
Nope. Amazon, for instance, has their engineers on call in a variety of roles with no additional pay.

Salaried tech employees do not get extra pay for being on call, generally.
Ah OK. So this is for resuming chat context cheaply. What I said is still correct - 3FS is not part of the inference flow & not relevant to the paper which is about optimizing the KV cache usage at runtime.
I mean Miyazaki would hate it but looking at what he saw in 2016 (of which his comments are v appropriate), vs what we have in 2025 is completely different.
I don’t care about the length of the mark, but I did find this idea useful. Prone to excessive detail, I often find myself with a parenthetical inside of parenthetical. The developer in me insists on 2 closing parentheses. But it looks weird and nerdy. Although, using an em dash instead is probably just as nerdy.

> Dashes are used inside parentheses, and vice versa, to indicate parenthetical material within parenthetical material. ...

> The bakery’s reputation for scrumptious goods (ambrosial, even—each item was surely fit for gods) spread far and wide.

Okay, so is Trump playing the tarrif game to bring manufacturing back home, or is cynicism and bad faith only okay when it's about US conservatives? Because the hypocrisy is on full display here.

I'm fine with being fair to the EU and giving them the benefit of the doubt, but only if we're fair to everyone.
Indeed, it's a lot better when the EU bureaucrats in collaboration with industry experts decide what comms standards should be used instead of profit maximizing megacorporations!
I have been hearing about the idea of Abundance a bit and it appeals to me more than tearing down (DOGE) philosophy. I dont buy the Republican argument of tearing everything down because government doesn't work. At the state level Republicans are doing exactly the opposite and so its hypocritical for them to claim that while they consolidate all kinds of power, expand government and do things quite opposite to what they stand for including the principles of individual freedom.
Hey cushychicken! Would love to see what you’re working on and thanks for explaining (seveibar at tscircuit dot com is my email if you want to set something up!)

I do think humans need to be in the loop on autorouters, but I also think autorouters should be very fast and decent. In web design we progressively add constraints (via CSS) to tweak the output of the visual design and see the result instantly, I believe this same workflow is possible for PCB design (and will favor those good at specifying constraints!)
I hope people do this and royally mess shit up.

Maybe then they’ll snap out of it.

I’ve already seen people completely mess things up. It’s hilarious. Someone who thinks they’re in “founder mode” and a “software engineer” because chatgpt or their cursor vomited out 800 lines of python code.
Naturally, Repository is a pattern for data(base) access, so it should have nothing to do with objects that are not persisted. I used "entity" as meaning a persisted object. That was not very clear, sorry.
You can go to the thrift store and buy a book that is worth approximately $1.
The users of your flawless frameworks absorbed all on-call load.
Interesting!

Basically the EU is now able to force american companies to do things that the US regulator will not do, probably because Apple can manage to lobby US congress but not the EU parliament.

That probably means that US companies can probably help "counter" Apple on certain things as long as the EU sees that it benefits the consumer.

I don't know if Trump somehow caused this situation.

> those are the thin-space and hair-space Unicode characters, though they show up full width for me

Interestingly, at least in my browser and grabbing the direct link to the comment with curl, show the bytes as 0x20 for both. Perhaps the comment submission handler, or even the browser, collated your more specific U+2009 (thin) and U+200A (hair) spaces into the regular U+0020 space?
I would have less of a problem with the constant surveillance if they would make it required by law to inform me any time someone looks at the data. One of the things that makes me really wary of all this surveillance is that it is too easy for people to look.

If they knew that every time they looked I would know about it, they wouldn't look so much. Similarly to how people are much less stalky on LinkedIn and Instagram because they know that the other person gets notified when they look.
My kid is about the same age. We recently bought a safety lock to prevent him from getting into cupboard under our sink. It had great reviews on Amazon.

The first time he went into the kitchen after I had installed it, he notices it immediately, walks straight up to it, grasps it with both hands like an adult would, and has it unlatched within 5 seconds. He then proceeds to look at me like "Is this some sort of test?"
This is good news
Can you please share the original prompt you are using?
I often think this when there's meant to be a big heavy thing moving around. I think it's one of my problems with Pacific Rim 2 vs the first film. In the first film, the robots were slow and heavy, in the second they were nimble and didn't have any of the weight behind them
First 3D-printed train station building planned by JR West
Good on you for expressing all the downsides/uncomfortable/so complicated you sometimes simplify bits. I have never been in a situation where I addressed every question in advance, and normally there are negatives that aren't flushed out. That's all I'm asking for. What uncomfortable thing aren't you saying, and is our relationship/discussion one where you are willing to volunteer them. I find it a sign it's not a strong discussion when people don't volunteer a real answer to my legitimate question.
Australian eucalyptus trees also require fire to reproduce. The oil in the leaves is there to intensify the fire, destroying competing species.

In "World War Z" (the book), the scientific "questions" regarding how the zombies work are brought up but not answered. For instance, in the book, the zombies freeze solid in winter and when spring comes thaw and just start going again. The fact that ice crystals normally rupture cell membranes is brought up as a question of how this is possible; but no attempt is made to answer the question, because that's not the point of the book.
Simply wrap it in a protective plastic packaging.
That depends on the layout engine, I believe. Just tried it in Firefox (on macOS; not sure if it uses Core Text or something custom there), and it does sometimes break around the em dash in "foo—bar" style, not just "foo – bar" style.

I've definitely noticed the behavior you describe on some layout engines, too, and it's another reason why I personally prefer "foo – bar" style.
Can't say about Cobol, but Ada is actively developed, actively used, and has one of the best provable correctness toolsets/extensions in the industry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPARK_(programming_language)
I dunno, I am sure the plastic industry would be thrilled to be able to get around environment concerns.
99% of the time our reactions to stimuli are automatic. This is why we practice mediation sitting still on a hard floor. It is not comfortable, with your legs crossed, your knees hurt, your butt hurts, it makes you feel you want to move, some one is sniffling, a baby is crying somewhere, it MAKES YOU FEEL annoyed,

It is possible to overcome the "MAKES YOU FEEL" part of this. External stimulus will always be there, but with some training, the only thing that "Makes you feel" will be you. You notice the pain in your knees, but it flows over you as water flows past the stone in the river.

This is easy to say but not easy to do. It takes quite a few hours of deliberate practice. Some people never get there. But, I think it is worth a try. Find a mediation class. Go every week.
Not sure if that thing could be used as food packaging, since food has salt and water.

Also that means this plastic probably has a very short lifespan.
This is such a fun timeline
“I did [a noun]” is grammatically correct English object-verb-direct-object sentence structure.

Depending on the noun, it may not the most idiomatic way of expressing the sentiment it intends to communicate, but that is a different issue. (On the other hand, idiom is context dependent, and the objection here seems to be that it is idiomatic in at least one context, but that people prefer that children exclusively learn some other preferred idiom. But if you don't have this diversity, children don't get to learn and practice context switching as early, and that's an important skill, too.)
Realistically? Taxes and tax enforcement. That’s really the only consistent and persistent way to change the incentives of the world’s economies. In most developed economies, the ultra wealthy are able to avoid paying their fair share, and the same goes for large corporations as well.

Without fairness, there’s really no easy way to talk about strategy.
Well yeah, it's fancy autocomplete. And it's extremely amazing what 'fancy autocomplete' is able to do, but making the decision to use an LLM for the type of project you described is effectively just magical thinking. That isn't an indictment against LLM, but rather the person who chose the wrong tool for the job.
Nothing like that in Canada or, I suspect, the USA. You'd be expected to work the morning after.
Amount of Russian LNG that enters the system is insignificant, don't exaggerate it. It's 15% of overall LNG imports at most.
Price for all LNG is the same because it circulates on the same, global market.
Pipeline gas comes with political liabilities.

And the real alternative is of course, deep cuts in gas consumption. Which is what RepowerEU is trying to achieve.

By the way, 2024 Russian gas imports show a slight increase only because 2023 decrease went ahead of plan. 2023 plan was 68 bcm and only 45 bcm were imported, even 2024 went ahead of reduction plan and 2025 is certain to be ahead of plan, too.
They are saying that if 50% of your generating capacity drops to 1% of you need a lot of gas powered plants to make up that difference. If your renewables represent 1% of the generating capacity you need very little gas to make up that difference.
Voters don't want to do arithmetic either.
In many, many cases those problems are resolved by improvements to the model. The point is that making a big deal about LLM fuck ups in 3 year old models that don't reproduce in new ones is a complete waste of time and just spreads FUD.
This is ancedata, but the article says all pyrex cookware made after 1998 used soda-lime glass, but I do have an amount of pyrex cookware that appears to be made of borosilicate that I purchased between 2005 and 2013ish. I base this on the older pyrex having a clear and un-colored consistency that matches my Corning PYREX labware (also used in the kitchen) and the newer stuff having a green tint to it that matches other soda-lime glass.

Personally I suspect that they phased out borosilicate glass in pyrex cookware between 2006 and 2009 and the lag in my ancedata is from slow stock turnover at the local supermarket. This would line up with the exploding glass incidents cited in the article.

What may be a more plausible explanation to the exploding pyrex mystery is the proliferation of marble and other cut rock countertops. These countertops have a very high thermal mass and placing a just out of the oven casserole dish on them, even if completely empty, will most likely cause it to shatter from the rapid cooling of the base.

So, as a kitchen safety tip, don't put hot glassware directly on countertops, use a trivet, dry kitchen towel or potholder.
Considering the harm fracking does to the local environment, that's pretty justified NIMBYism, no? Europe isn't like America with vast expanses of empty land, fracking would ruin the lives of many people, not to mention the landscape, in order to get hold of a very unpopular resource.
I think that's a very unfair take. As a summary for non-experts I found it did a great job of explaining how by analyzing activated features in the model, you can get an idea of what it's doing to produce the answer. And also how by intervening to change these activations manually you can test hypotheses about causality.

It sounds like you don't like anthropomorphism. I can relate, but I don't get where Its a bit like there is the great and powerful man behind the curtain, lets trace the thought of this immaculate being you mere mortals is coming from. In most cases the anthropomorphisms are just the standard way to convey the idea briefly. Even then I liked how they sometimes used scare quotes as in it began "thinking" of potential on-topic words. There are some more debatable anthropomorphisms such as "in its head" where they use scare quotes systematically.

Also given that they took inspiration from neuroscience to develop a technique that appears successful in analyzing their model, I think they deserve some leeway on the anthropomorphism front. Or at least on the "biological metaphors" front which is maybe not really the same thing.

I used to think biological metaphors for LLMs were misleading, but I'm actually revising this opinion now. I mean I still think the past metaphors I've seen were misleading, but here, seeing the activation pathways they were able to identify, including the inhibitory circuits, and knowing a bit about similar structures in the brain I find the metaphor appropriate.
This is coming from someone who can only speak English: what a stupid language. How is having 3 symbols that are discernible only by their, almost identical, length a good idea? How would one grade a paper for correct usage, especially if handwritten?

I agree with you completely.
My cousin needed speech therapy because my aunt accidentally formed her own language with him in over-doing the baby talk.

Ironically, he is now fluent in more languages than anyone I've ever met.
It's crazy to hear the anti-nuclear, or anti-solar people, we obviosuly need a mix of everything, but above all we need to reduce our use
It only takes one dictator, then the wishes of the people become irrelevant. Or propagandized; I'm sure the war is quite popular in Russia still despite horrific casualties.
Show HN: Cloud IP Ranges
Cloud IP Ranges is a website I built that collects public IP data from different cloud providers, standardises the data, and make them available to download and use.

I built this because I've been developing some products where I don't want any traffic from cloud providers (to avoid scrapping and crawling, mainly).

The service is free to use and free to use!

Hope you all find it useful.
As for opening the ZMachine games (V3/5/8), you know, from Zork and friends...
there's Winfrotz on Windows, Lectrote on Android/OSX whatever, and Frotz for Linux/BSD diehard fans. Oh, and Frotz for Amiga, Atari, DOS, old Macs...)

That's why I suggested you Inform6. Even with Inform7, a Z8 machine game (look up Anchorhead anchor.z8 and Inside Woman woman.z8 under a search engine) they will look and play well on really, really old computers. Download and open them in order to see what the ZMachine and Inform are able to do with very little constraints.

The 1st game it's a Lovecraftian tale set in the 90's (hello Stephen King), the second one a futuristic/half-cyberpunk/dystopian one.

And is not the best one I've seen. They are jewels like Spider and Web (tangle.z5), a techno-triller which is a bit like Memento/Bourne and similar movies.

Again, these are playable from a current powerhouse computer to a DOS one from 1993. And they are far better than the guess-the-word games from the 80's, the community improved the Infocom's ZMachine to really easy levels.

In order to start with Inform6, I suggest you to learn with "Inform's Begginers' Guide', a free to download book. For advanced stuff, there's the Inform Designed manual, but that's for really low level stuff. Such as declaring really fancy grammars or even a new one for languages like Italian to create parsers for that language, for instance (as we already have a library for Spanish games). But it's good to have (dm4.pdf) in order to debug issues.

Have fun.
Thank you. It seems like I was misinformed. Last time I was in London my old Oyster card wouldn't work and I was told I couldn't top it up (which is probably true) and I couldn't get a new card without ID (which seems to be false).
> I don't think any one of those billion dollar companies are gonna send me a dollar to help pay for my electricity, internet or replacement drives when they fail, despite them benefiting from all those things.

This facet of AI scrapers is not mentioned often enough, and is common with email advertising: externalizing part of the cost to those being scraped or advertised to.
> I have a theory that echoes the surprising premise of the well known HN-famous article "The optimum amount of fraud is not zero" that states "The optimum amount of poverty, to governments, is not zero."

> It seems to me that if governments deliver too well for their citizens, if the citizens because too wealthy, if they are too well off, then they will begin to demand even more.

The more fundamental question is: what is poverty? 100 years ago the answer would be very different to today. The definition of poverty itself is what keeps poverty alive, as it continues to increase to keep up with new products and services that are available.
Any WiFi operation besides STA is in general a crapshoot, especially if the card is not meant for use in an AP. WiFi hardware vendors can't be bothered to provide fully usable stacks for anything else (if even that).

For example Intel's broken Location Aware Regulatory completely breaks any use-cases where your device is not the STA (on anything besides 2.4GHz). Most cards also have no DFS support, meaning you'll be left with a microscopic usable segment. Then there's also the problem with incorrect regulatory information.

All of which in the end makes reliable high-speed point-to-point operation very annoying to achieve. Even if it'd be totally legal. Leaving you with a terribly slow link.
Nuclear is not financially viable in a market dominated by renewables.

Borosilicate glass is also very noticeably lighter than normal soda-lime glass.

After you have handled both kinds of glass it is difficult to confuse them, especially in bigger vessels.

Besides the fact that borosilicate glass has a lower density, the vessels made of borosilicate glass are made typically with thinner walls than those made of normal glass, which makes even greater the weight difference.
I ditched MS office last year (for libreoffice) when MS updated their terms to allow them to hoover up all my content, even that stored only on my computer, to train their AI. Subscription costs (which I'd bought a version several years ago) pale by comparison to the wrongness of that.
You think 34% is bad you should look at other leaders in Europe like Macron and Starmer.
The part of the Polgár story that amazes me the most is that all three daughters showed enough interest and engagement in chess for the experiment to work so successfully. Because with my own children, I’ve seen again and again that you can encourage and expose them to certain interests, but they’re their own people - many of the things I exposed them to and tried to get them excited about just weren’t interesting to them.

And that’s completely fine. I was never forceful about it and they have their own deep interests in things that I just never got into or understood. I just find it surprising that in some families, these exceptional skills and interests are so readily passed from one generation to the next.
Update: Seems like the update didn't roll to my account when I tested. I can see it behaves differently now and it's as promised. It's very good.
Looking back, what was your parents' relationship to anxiety (especially low-level anxiety)?

I have felt similar to your sentiment as I raise my 2.5 year old, and as I investigate more, true failure was always insulated by my parent's anxiety preventing a true experience of outcomes. "Don't climb on that ledge because it's wet and you could fall" rather than a climb and tumble off a 2 inch curb with likely no consequence. "Don't eat that meat if it's still pink", etc.
