Not a native Spanish speaker, but I don't think there's much to this. Signs and ads can be written in a formal or informal tone just as they can in English. On top of that, there's huge variation between Spanish speaking countries in terms of how 'tu', 'usted' and (sometimes) 'vos' are used, and Spanish speakers in Philadelphia presumably vary somewhat in their country of (ancestral) origin. Given all this, it's really not surprising that you find some variation. Ads that address people as 'tu' are common across the Spanish speaking world AFAIK.
You haven't attempted to do that. You asked us to imagine a rational fear of queer people, but there isn't one. You've simply asserted a dogma without substantiating it.

What work are you doing the last few days? My experience is for a very narrow range of tasks, like getting the basics of a common but new to me API working, they are moderately useful. But the overwhelming majority of the time they are useless.
Zoo's mission is to revolutionize the CAD industry by developing the world's most advanced hardware design infrastructure and tools. While software engineering has evolved with powerful tools and workflows, hardware design is still stuck in the dark ages. Our goal is to make building hardware products as seamless as building software.

The team is working on everything from an in-house graphics engine, to AI tools, to automated workflows for hardware engineering teams. Our HQ is in Los Angeles with both a local and remotely-distributed team. We are gearing up for our v1 product launch / Series A and will be hiring:

- Graphics Engineers
- ML Engineers
- Frontend Engineers
- Account Executives

SSDs are usually better at sequential read as well as seeks. Depending on how outlook organizes the file (and how it gets organized in the file system) there's probably a mix of seeking and sequential reads anyway.
You're right, modern design often favors neutral bases with pops of color.

However, if everyone followed that same "modern taste," everything would look alike. Just as the technicolor era had its appeal, so do bold color palettes.

The best approach depends on the desired effect and overall design.

Ask HN: Lambda Labs 390x bill
Hi HN,

I signed up to lamda labs because I wanted to try their GH200 instance which I couldn't in Google Colab.

I started the instance, went inside Jupyter and played with it, forgot about it.

Now they hit me with a $583 bill:

,,your account had a running 1xGH200 instance attached to it from 3/9/2025 through to 3/25/2025, for a total of 391.32 hours of usage totaling $583.06. Lambda does not distinguish between idle and in use instance states, so any time that a running instance is attached to a customer's account will be billed for.''

I told them that it was a mistake and I didn't even log into the instance, just tried some models from Huggingface for 1 hour, but it seems like they genualy don't care of 390x overbilling me.

I asked them whether other people who just tried them had this problem and suggested them to auto-stop instances and limit them by default, but the support person hasn't answered this.

They seem like a very shady company for this amount of overbilling. I can of course tell this to my bank and issue a charge back, but is there some other way to handle this? I wouldn't have had problem paying a few hours more than my usage, but this bill looks outrageous to me for the amount of compute I used.

Yeah, because we are a remote-first company, we only hire mid-level & senior engineers. I think it does a disservice to early career engineers to work remote. There is a lot you can learn by working in a much higher bandwidth communication setting.

(How do we make sure that there's no benefit to someone if they get the idea of trying to make it happen?)
I've tried watching some Italian TV channels, and some content was not available for streaming. It's a common practice here. It also applies to satellite-transmitted channels, they usually don't have the license to show some movies on that version (you can only see them on the terrestrial signal).
That's a great idea.

There's are sites that stream old content with a old tube tv UI wrapped around the video frame but they don't have all the commercials and they don't follow the old schedules like you suggest.

I've got a friend who has hoarded digitized copies of VHS recordings of old cartoons from that era complete with the commercials, so the content is definitely out there.
Also this push to measure everything means that anything that can’t be measured isn’t valued.

One of your teammates consistently helps unblock everyone on the team when they get stuck? They aren’t closing as many tickets as others so they get overlooked on promotions or canned.

One of your teammates takes a bit longer to complete work, but it’s always rock solid and produces fewer outages? Totally invisible. Plus they don’t get to look like a hero when they save the company from the consequences of their own shoddy work.
I think it shows real maturity to take this approach and makes me feel more comfortable that they'll be sustainable.
The "joking" in this case would be just being an asshole. The crazy, if there's not too much blowback, would be actually believing in pedophile conspiracies.
It's horrible that the web has come to this, a need for a browser hack to restore the UI that some website hacked off.

You can watch NHK World from anywhere, they make it available on their website: https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/live/

It's obnoxious behavior. For example, I decided when I was young to live in my car and be homeless. I saved a bunch of money, and I've been frugal most my life. I was also super focused at my work and climbed the ladder making real money.

I believe most people don't have discipline to endure less than and the discipline to really listen to what power asks of them. There is a lot of great advice for people to do well in a job, but they just... don't apply it.

These people are best to be ignored.

There was a high profile court case in about 2018 where a start-up was trying to sell rebroadcasted public TV and it was ruled illegal and held up on appeal. They even tried "renting" miniature TV antennae to users with the legal theory that they never made a "copy". Sad to see it was shot down.

The accuracy of the results don't seem that great. For example, looking at the pictures on the wall in their sample, or the beams in the ceiling.

It's possible it's some artifact of the processing resolution, but I think most people that have worked with NNs for AR input will be surprised that this is not considered disappointing.
Externally / Blackbox options would be Nessus, Nuclei, OWASP ZAP (as you mentioned), and Burp Suite. The two latter only work well when used in combination with manual methods though, as they won't pick up business logic, auth bypass, MFLAC/IDOR, etc. on their own.

A lot of scanning templates / rulesets won't be 100% accurate or up-to-date, and will easily miss a lot of big things, so having it pentested by an actual person is always important.

From the source code side of things, Semgrep / CodeQL, Veracode / Snyk, Burp Enterprise (CI/CD), etc. are good options. But again, most places shouldn't get just scans, there should be a manual component involving a security professional who knows what they're doing.

XBOW is making some pretty cool strides in the meantime from a blackbox perspective though.

TIL There’s a Mr. Beast channel in the US
It was originally represented with an apostrophe.

It seems the apostrophe started to be inverted in Hawaiian in the 1940s.
That's a bit of a messed up way to calculate things.

I also think the US deficits are hugely overstated because much of what the US produces is intellectual capital rather than physical goods and the profits are made to appear in foreign subsidiaries for tax reasons. Like if I buy Microsoft stuff in the UK, Microsoft make out it was made in Ireland for tax purposes, but really the value is created in and owned by the US. The US company both wrote the software and owns Microsoft Ireland. So much of the perceived unfairness Trump is having a go at isn't real.

Same. What's crazier now is nobody in management seems to want to take a risk, when the risks are so much lower.

Let’s say I apply for a tourist visa to US, and I get denied. Am I entitled to a jury trial in US to decide whether I get the visa or not?

Let’s say I do get a tourist visa, get admitted at the border, and the second I cross it, I begin openly violating the terms of the tourist visa. Can the government deport me right there and then, or am I entitled to a full jury trial that decides my deportation?

Finally, let’s say that I violate my tourist visa covertly instead of overtly, so that the government finds out only 3 years later. You seem to be claiming in your comment that at that point, I am certainly entitled to a jury trial. If you answered “no, you’re not entitled to trial” in the previous scenarios, what exactly do you think has changed that makes me entitled to it now?
I've always thought if I gave better estimates about how long things would take, my schedule would support a decent job.

there are probably other factors than "how much are they"
Everyone's complaining about that as a developer, and rightly so. But that can't be easy for the PMs, either, trying to find a way to "add value" when they have no idea what's going on.

It is indeed.

We are a country of laws, and there is a separation of powers. We are not ruled by a king.

Title IX is a civil rights law passed by Congress in 1972:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Title_IX

If the Trump administration (or the prior Biden administration) wants to contest federal rulings on Title IX regarding trans-gender students they need to contest this via the courts.

Not via juvenile attempts to carry out personal vendettas against state officials who disagree with Trump, and thus also punish the citizenry of such states...

In case it's not clear, this should also apply to universities and law firms and businesses that don't "fall in line" with the ideological propaganda of the current administration.

EDIT: Shortly after this post, I ran across the following article which is also relevant here:

https://newrepublic.com/post/193483/donald-trump-maine-gover...

That's a difficult argument to make, especially without examples because at the end of the day, everything is related/relevant to everything somehow. HN's on-topicness remit is not really 'extremely relevant to techies'.

The problem is porting the compilers! There is no C++ compiler on Plan 9.
I started using testssl after first using slabs.com.

As the other commenter mentioned, testssl.sh lets you can websites that aren’t public yet e.g. test environments or other private networks. As well as testing against starttls if you need to test encryption on a mail gateway.

It’s also configurable, meaning you can have it test tls protocols alone, or ciphers alone, client renegotiation alone making it quicker and easier to read if you are looking at specific areas
This is very different though: The streams are provided by the broadcasters themselves, not by somebody that receives their signal and then rebroadcasts it.

If they didn't want their content watched abroad, they would add geoblocking or authentication. Some of the ones listed on TFA actually do that for parts of their program.

The null hypothesis is more compute or bigger network = better results. Conv operations make sense on images because the data is naturally 2 dimensional, so applying an operation across a sliding window makes sense.

Skimming the paper, I don’t see them testing against e.g. a normal decoder with an extra layer or something.

I don’t see the same logic applying on an embedding, where the individual indexes matter. Adjacent indexes in an embedding have no relationship, unlike adjacent pixels in an image.
jest (or whatever was trying to auto-detect a "sapling" repo) should take explicit configuration to enable "sapling" or "mercurial" or whatever integration. And not try to run "sl" 16+ times in various modules/threads trying to auto-detect it.

"automagic" things trying to be easy and helpful is really a significant source of my stress fixing software these days.

The problem is that mAh tells you absolutely nothing about battery capacity. An mAh rating is useful if you're comparing two single-cell batteries using the same chemistry - but that's not what we are doing in practice.

For example, a 100Wh battery could be built using a single li-ion cell, which means it would be 27,000mAh. Same battery using an LFP cell? 31.250mAh. But wait, it's a laptop - it's far more efficient to put multiple cells in series. Four li-ion cells in series would mean a capacity of 675mAh, or 540mAh if you use five cells.

The five-cell one is probably more efficient, but if you blindly look at the mAh rating it looks like it has a significantly smaller capacity. Nobody is going to buy that, so the marketing team will convert it back to "single-cell equivalent" and put 27,000mAh on the box while still keeping an 18.5V rating, and people who passed a highschool physics class are going to think it's a 500Wh battery.

It gets even worse with LFP, because now the marketing team is asking you to convert it to "single-sell li-ion equivalent" and the figure is now completely unrelated to what's actually happening! That 520mAh 6-cell LFP battery? Just put a 27,000mAh label on it: who cares, bigger is better.

HN's "flamewar detector" (I prefer "spiciness indicator") is one of those tools I'd been highly skeptical of, and still have significant issues with, but ... it does in fact work much of the time. It's where it doesn't work that the problems really manifest.

I'd come to that conclusion after scraping all "past" front pages from 2006 through May-ish 2023 and doing a number of analyses of that corpus. (I've commented on that a few times here on HN and on the Fediverse.)

One of the absolute spiciest discussions ever was a pg post about HN itself. Which suggests that when a topic of of direct interest and familiarity, people will tend to hop on it. There are also a great many flame-y threads, though note that by virtue of making the front page, my sample probably skews to less disastrous threads with the absolute sh*tshows being well below the top-30 fold.

Among other weaknesses, spiciness doesn't distinguish between pure troll/clickbait threads, and those on which there's a significant and justified spread of opinion. As such, the metric makes hard discussions even harder to have, though mods can and do turn off the penalty on request (often many hours after the discussion's started, for obvious reasons, which is its own penalty). I do wish that HN could have those discussions, and I've thought and written (both on HN and in emails to mods) about what that might entail. I'm coming to the long-delayed and somewhat regrettable conclusion that it's not the right tool for that particular job.
The phenomenon being discussed here is a type of overfitting:

https://sohl-dickstein.github.io/2022/11/06/strong-Goodhart....

The last 50 years or so of managerial practice has been a recipe for overfitting with a brutal emphasis on measuring, optimizing, and stack ranking everything.

I think an argument can be made that this is an age of overfitting everywhere.

I've thought about firing a forum or web IRC back up just for topics like these but I suspect it would just attract a lot of hate. I came here to escape running such sites but I am conflicted. It almost makes sense as anything political that is permitted here becomes instantly biased and there is a lot of misinformation, emotions and dog-piling from people that are unwittingly stuck in echo chambers. I would also have to find a CDN that would accept the hate. I do not usually implement CDN's for my personal sites but most VPS providers are cowards these days.
