On the figures in the article: 62,000 seizures, half under $8800, total of $2.5 billion. Doing some rough calculations, assume 31,000 seizures of $8000 and that’s a total of $248 million. That leaves the other half of the seizures to make up the remaining $2.25 billion, or an average of more than $70,000 per seizure.

Is it typical in the US to carry cash in the tens of thousands of dollars? While I understand some people are unbanked, surely it is possible to open a bank account if you have tens of thousands to deposit. Leaving aside whether it is legal to seize the money or whether it is ethical to do so, is there a good reason why you would choose to walk around with, say, $100,000 in cash instead of a bank cheque or a a plastic card?

> No one bullies harder than the nerds around here. Such a hateful bunch of ignorant fools.

I’m not sure if this is true. We’re all people, and people have tendencies to other others and seek belonging, that can hurt people.

I don’t think this community is particularly bad. And I’ll add that it’s probably the most “civil” of all the sites I’ve used over the years (usenet, slashdot, fark, lobste.rs, kuroshin, plastic, digg, reddit, netslaves, 4chan).

Ignorant fools, perhaps. But bullies, I don’t think so.

The effect is dramatically different for different people. I have something around 30-60% more endurance with creatine which is insane. From what little I understand it helps move fluids though muscles. I can't imagine muscle growth doesn't benefit from that specially in seemingly poorly hydrated dry muscles like mine.
The argument for "vibe coding" (or generally heavy-use of AI coding) is always along the lines of
1. Vibe coding is much more efficient than regular coding
2. If you don't learn vibe coding you will fall behind

I see lots of arguing over point 1. but I think we can reason about 2. such that it makes the veracity of 1. irrelevant.

There is literally no skill you have to learn NOW (meaning today, this week, this year) that will ruin your career if you don't learn it. There are still very productive and well compensated people writing using editors and other tooling created in the 20th century.

Equally, your boss isn't going to come in to work tomorrow and say "you aren't already a vibe coder?! We expect you to be even though this is the first time I am mentioning it. You're FIRED!"

So if you want to learn "vibe coding", go ahead, but don't feel some great existential anxiety over it. People saying you will "fall behind" are just creating clickbait nonsense.
macOS has dtrace which is actually nicer to use. Cannot be used on all processes when SIP is on though.
The proliferation of crawlers is part of the problem. They're also more aggressive and poorly behaved than typical search engines. Some issues:

- They request every resource, vastly increasing costs compared to a normal crawler.

- They not only don't respect robots.txt; they use it as an explicit source of more links to mine.

- They request resources frequently (many reports of 100x per day), sometimes from bugs and sometimes to ensure they have the latest copy.

- There's no rate limiting. It's trivial to create a crawler architecture where the crawler operates at full tilt, spread across millions of pages and respecting each site, but they don't bother, so even if everything else were fine it starts looking like a DOS attack.

- They intentionally use pools of IPs and other resources to obfuscate their identities and make themselves harder to block.

How much of that is "baby's first crawler" not being written very well, and how much is actual malice? Who knows, but the net effect is huge jumps in costs to support the AI wave.
F# can be nicer to use for a functional programming style.

It's not always about the features such as keywords, built-in functionality and types. It's also how language features work together.

C# is more fit for an imperative or OOP style when F# is more fit for a functional style.
Yes, I understand that, and I'm dismayed to learn about this.

But the question I'm asking is _why_ do AI crawlers behave in this different way.

that discussion you linked to can be broken down into:

- people upset because they thought Wikipedia was almost bankrupt and it turns out its not (though Wikipedia never claimed to be in its fund-raising)

- people upset because they see too many requests for donations

- people upset because Wikimedia execs are getting "high" salaries (though they are much _much_ lower than at private co's)

- people upset because they think Wikipedia spreads "left-wing ideologies"

None of this has anything to do with "corruption".
Agreed. If memory serves, most studies have shown marginal effects ~ 5%, particularly for strength. The benefit of creatine it seems at least partially, is the marginal benefit of being able to squeeze out a few extra reps per week

New Vulnerability in GitHub Copilot and Cursor
SoC on N4P.

The CPU consists of 1x Cortex-X4 prime core clocked at up to 3.2GHz, 3x Cortex-A720 cores at 3.0GHz, 2x Cortex-A720 cores at 2.8GHz, and 2x Cortex-A720 cores at 2.0GHz. The new chip is 31% faster than last year’s Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 while drawing 39% less power.

New Adreno 825 GPU, which Qualcomm is advertising to offer a 49% improvement on the graphics side compared to the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3.

Snapdragon X75 5G modem, Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6.0 connectivity.

This surely sounds like a perfect chip in so many ways. Roughly Apple A15 in Single Thread which is good enough. If this was on N3P it would have rivalled A18 in Single Thread.

And I expect this to be cheaper than the Elite. This should push the average Android performance up.

Now waiting for Mediatek to respond.
Steroids increase muscle growth despite having no relationship with adequate protein intake.
I've had the exact same experience, it took a while for creatine to start truly having an effect but I could see the extra water retention in the mirror and feel it in the gym.

I think this study may have been too flawed to reach a strong conclusion.

> After the 7-day wash-in, both groups followed the same RT program that comprising 3 full-body sessions a week for 12 weeks...

> For all assessments, participants reported to the Exercise Physiology Research Lab (UNSW Sydney, Australia) at the same time of day between 8 h and 9 h following an 8-h fast which included refraining from all liquids except water...

So extra stamina isn't rewarded due to the same workout plan and conventional wisdom on insulin and its effect on muscle absorption of creatine is completely ignored due to the 8 hour fasting period.

This study seems to paint creatine as a magic muscle bullet where it seems to be common knowledge in the fitness community that it aids recovery and stamina. I have my doubts.
Show HN: Open-source platform to simplify API integrations
The incompetence hypothesis makes sense (it is often a good explanation). Web indexers like Google had decades to get really good at this, including hoards of people who work on crawlers full time. AI companies are often very young, execute with small teams, and don't consider web indexing their main activity, just something they do in support of pre-training (or maybe serving web results).

A moving story, but also very interesting in many ways. It makes me think about Edgar Morin and his thesis on complexity, how current science has become so specialized that it has great difficulty in looking at the whole. In this case, these are very similar problems, but still. Of course, it is also worth mentioning that the potential of AI for research is enormous.

Yeah, that's also the case when people scoff at pro bodybuilders due to steroids. Steroids don't magically give you the gains, you still have to put the work in. You just get rewarded more, and quicker at cost of other side effects.
If the problem is really incompetence, then maybe a viable solution is for the community to create a really great (and well-behaved) OSS crawler. Make it easier for the AI people to do the right thing by making rolling their own crawler the more expensive, lower quality option.

Last time I tried SIP prevented me from using it on my own processes, but I may have been holding it wrong.
Also the entire database can be incorporated into things like FOSS map software, or free map data. Websites can have the DB stored locally so do not rely on an external API.

We would get more utility out of it that way.

We would also not have the extra cost from the profit made on selling the data.

If (as in this study) the athletes stuck to their same level of resistance training (ie weight + reps) I would expect the study to hold with the exception of finely measured muscle teardown.

As other commenters have posted, the popular suggested use of creatine use it to either increase resistance (extra reps at a greater weight) or decrease downtime (lack of atp / lactic acid buildup that breaks down muscles)

> it's not really a bus it's just addressed multiple chips on the same wafer

I'm electronics engineer, and even have once baked one chip layer on semiconductor practice, so I'm aware about technologies.

As I said before on Sinclair, few companies tried to make new on semiconductor market, and even some have success.

RAM manufacturers for a long time using approach of make multi-chip on one wafer - most RAM chips actually have 4..6 RAMs in one package, but few of them don't pass tests and disabled by fuses, so appear chips with 2 or 4 RAMs enabled and even with odd number of enabled chips.

Looks like Cerebras use similar to RAM manufacturers approach, just for other niche.

> Is there evidence that left wingers tend to be more as affluent than right wingers? Genuinely asking.

Yes, just read the articles about the Democrats losing the working class. There's lot of evidence and analysis in them on your very question.

IIRC, the Democrats have been tuning more and more into educated, affluent people, and those people have been tuning into liberal positions on culture war issues. These are the people who inhabit the influential positions of the party, and they set the agenda to resonate with themselves (e.g. student loan forgiveness). That caused them to lose sight of the traditional working class, and thus shed working class support.

Is it just me or is there a huge difference between the success thought leaders are having with AI coding and the way average people are. The idea that cursor could write 35,000 lines of working code is just bananas to me. Maybe I should try the Google model but he also mentions Claude 3.5 and Claude 3.5 and 3.7 have been downright awful. I’ve literally had these tools recommend dozens of changes to undo specific things I asked them to do.

I want to be a believer, I am all in on vibe coding spending hours a day trying to get it to work, and have experienced nothing but frustration. I’m starting to think I’m just an idiot that’s too stupid to use these tools. But isn’t that the sales pitch? That any idiot could do it!?

>I'd expect that deadline to have some sort of meaning, not just "now others trust you more".

Every place of work where I saw that being pushed and accepted once, then crunch just became the new norm over time, 100% of the time.

Developers accepting the crunch to please management, signals to management that they can outsource the externalities and consequences of their bad estimations and planning onto the developers without consequences while they collect the bonuses for the deadlines being met.

While on the other hand, pushing against the crunch when/if you can, forces management to be more careful and realistic with expectations, basically to do their fucking job right.
Show HN: FeedMe – An RSS Reader to Reclaim Your Attention
Hi HN, I'm a solo dev and I've been building FeedMe, an RSS reader designed to help you take back control of your attention. I launched it today and would love your feedback!

I found myself overwhelmed by algorithmic feeds on platforms like YouTube and X, losing focus on what truly mattered. I missed the days when I controlled my information diet. FeedMe is my solution: an RSS reader that puts you back in the driver’s seat.

For those who still value the power of RSS, FeedMe lets you subscribe to any RSS feed (articles, podcasts, YouTube channels/playlists, subreddits, newsletters, even Hacker News). You can easily search, filter, mark items as read/unread, as well as mute feeds to temporarily hide distractions and catch up on your terms. It also includes a dark mode for comfortable reading, and device sync is included for everyone.

The mute feature has been a game-changer for me, letting me focus on what's important without the anxiety of unsubscribing and potentially missing out later. It's about reclaiming attention from the noise.

FeedMe started as a personal project to learn new tech stacks (I’d rebuild it every year or so), but it became a tool that genuinely improved my life. Now I want to share it with others who feel overwhelmed by algorithmic feeds.

Questions or critiques are more than welcome. Thanks for checking it out!

Sad that I didn't read this comment before reading this article.
I can only make sense of that saying in terms of how much trust to give, whether it's a high-trust or low-trust environment. Whether you assume good-will and basic competence or not.

e.g. you might assume that a sorting library from an internal developer at your company will put things in order but you might want to verify that it has reasonable worst-case performance for your use case. A no-trust situation might lead you to scrutinise everything about it - does it work at all, does it have horrendous performance in every case, is it a supply-chain attack with disguised errors leading to deliberate exploit holes.

In this case, "trust but verify" might mean assuming the Professor and TA are doing an experiment they have done before, which basically works, but might have made a mistake or missed something while setting it up, writing the slides, or explaining it to you. "Don't trust" might mean the TA got the experiment from ChatGPT, hates OP for being on a scholarship and is trying to sabotage their success, and the whole thing isn't an Electronics course it's really the Professor's practical joke/psychology experiment about stressing students.
There's a great video essay series known as "Everything is a Remix" by Kirby Ferguson [1] if you have an hour to spare. Ferguson uses the trends of music sampling as a base for how artists draw inspiration from others. The controversy of sampling has been used across genres, include around minute 9 Ferguson points out that Led Zepplin were considered ripoffs for their appropriation of Jake Holmes. Axis of Awesome also has a "chord progression song" [2] that makes fun of how similar many pop songs are.

The video draws a nice parallel to how so much in our world serves as "inspiration" for our own works, but acknowledges the controversy around using a single source as "too much inspiration". Especially as we move into whatever copyright arguments are getting made toward AI right now, I think it serves as a nice outline on why this is such a complicated matter.
