I prefer tea from Hangzhou as well vs Sri Lankan tea. I get it currently shipped via HK as it is very hard to find good tea otherwise.
Show HN: Humbug and Metaphor – tools for building with AI
A while ago I posted a link to an earlier version of this, but a lot has changed since then!

Humbug is a GUI designed to let you do more structured software engineering with AI. Most of the development work has been driven using Metaphor, a very simple natural-language based format for capturing detailed context.

Metaphor aims to make development prompting much more repeatable and to offset many of the concerns that experienced engineers have with using AI. It provides a framework to capture the important learnings from interactive discussions and continually refine them in a way that gets much more predictable and higher quality software as an output.
When I was junior IT at a smaller place (150ish people), we set up DMARC for the first time in "quarantine" mode. Plan was to eventually set it to full reject but only if folks didn't report issues for a month or so.

While it was in quarantine mode, I asked my boss if we could use it for an object lesson in email trust at our next security training. He said sure, got permission from the CEO, and then an hour before the next quarterly IT security training meeting everyone in the company got an email from the CEO's address saying "URGENT all-hands company meeting, attendance mandatory!" (which came from a Postfix running under my desk, sans DKIM validation record).

In DKIM "quarantine" mode, everyone's Outlook flagged the message with a banner or popup or something saying it was suspicious, I think it also had a prompt to auto-spambox future validation failures. Plenty of folks saw that and/or the Nigerian-prince-style typos I put in the "CEO"'s message. They checked with him or IT, who told them congrats, feel free to head home 30min early after the security training.

The more credulous folks that came to the URGENT all-hands were surprised to find themselves in a regular IT security training, no CEO in attendance. We started off with "so today we are going to talk about phishing, sender forgery, and you...".
Oh I forgot to add: they both work perfectly fine still!
Thank you, nonvoters.
We're always looking to improve where we can to reduce any gaps in the process and to make sure no applications slip through the cracks.

I can't find any calls/interviews with your name and also can't find any submission from you on our code challenge[0] (which is the only take home task that we ask devs to do), but it may just mean that you've applied under a different name and GitHub profile than you have listed on the website in your about page/your HN username.

If you can reach out to me at david at serpapi.com and provide me with some more detail about your application I can try and find out what's happened here.

For extra sauce on the "they're barely even thinking about this" cake someone figured out where those crazy "Tariff Charged" numbers were coming from, they're taking the trade deficit and dividing by the total imports from that country.

edit: The White House deputy press secretary posted their formula and it is just trade_deficit/2*total_imports per country just dressed up with a lot of fancy language to make it seem smarter but the two extra terms are constants.

I agree on Russia, but wouldn't be so sure Trump isn't a Russian asset.
In the first scenario the investment isn't astronomical, and if there is surplus capacity you can definitely shift around to avoid tariffs. I think Volvo already announced this wrt. to their US plants. They can take some production from the EU or China and use capacity in the US to build cars. The parts are still imported from China and the EU so will be more expensive, but they still seem to think this can help.

But the second scenario is a massive investment. It not only requires the economics of it to work today, it requires knowing what the situation is 1 or 2 decades down the line. You can't build a car factory in two years. Barely in four. And even if you do, it doesn't matter if it's likely to operate at a loss in 8 years!

The most important thing for that type of investment is stability and predictability, not just "the costs will be lower for at least 2 years now! or maybe 2weeks we don't know since the tariffs seem to come and go depending on which side of bed the local czar wakes up on".
These days "hustling" = independently rich people trying to build an online following and selling ads/courses/get rich quick schemes/crypto scams.

The gig economy is real, back-breaking work. No "husler" has done a single day of food or package deliveries.
Are the two mutually exclusive? Because using the same formula they apply to other countries, Russia would have tariffs as high as 84%. (I confess to using an LLM to get me the data.)
If everything is modelar and can be replaced is the think pad just a box?
I’m past the point of thinking people are just being crazy or paranoid. Any baffling move this administration makes, I just ask myself: what would Russia want?

And without fail, it explains the unexplainable. This move is a prime example. This doesn’t help the billionaires in America, it doesn’t help ANYONE in America, but is sure is a massive bailout to a Russian economy that was on the verge of collapse.
Show HN: Zxc – Rust TLS proxy with tmux and Vim as UI, BurpSuite alternative
Ditch Burp Suite’s bloat for zxc, a Rust-built, terminal-based proxy that uses
tmux and Vim to intercept HTTP/S and WebSocket traffic. It captures requests
for debugging, security testing, or tweaking—fast and lean.

# Key Features
- Disk Wizardry: Stashes massive datasets on disk-100k+ entries without breaking a sweat.

- Addons: Boost your workflow with default support for ffuf and sqlmap, or craft your own addons for extra fun.

- Buffer Tweaks: Edit variables in a popup (e.g., b:host, b:scheme) in Interceptor/Repeater to twist requests.

- Config Control: TOML files for global ($HOME/.config/zxc/config.toml) or per-session tweaks.

- Content Filtering: Skip requests based on the request Content-Type header.

- Domain Filtering: selectively include or exclude specific domains, offering granular control over which traffic is proxied or relayed, with support for wildcards like *.example.com

- Edit Config on the Fly: Tweak session settings live from History in a popup-changes hit instantly or refresh manually if edited outside.

- Encoding Tricks: Base64 or URL encode/decode in Visual mode-sneaky.

- Extended Attributes: Supercharge your workflow with `.req` files automatically tagged with critical metadata (e.g., user.host, user.http) - break free from the sandbox and unlock powerful integration with external tools like scripts or analyzers.

- Extension Filtering: Skip requests based on the requested contents extension `.mp3`, `.mp4` etc.

- History Display Filters: Tweak History logs by host, URI, or status code with Vim regex flair.

- History Window: View and filter all traffic in real-time.

- Interception Queue: Manage pending requests and responses in real-time—view the queue with scheme and host details, then forward, drop, or tweak them as they pile up in the Interceptor window.

- Malformed Requests: Custom HTTP/1.1 parser for sending quirky, security-testing requests.

- Repeater Window: Resend and tweak HTTP or WebSocket requests with ease

- Request Sharing: Share requests freely between windows for seamless tweaking and testing.

- Search Superpowers: Search requests or responses and add to Vim’s quickfix/location lists.

- Session Management: Create named sessions and attach to older sessions to resume work seamlessly.

- Traffic Interception: Edit requests and responses live in Vim.

- WebSocket History: A clear, organized history view of all WebSocket traffic with `.whis` files for a full overview, or dive into single-session details with `.wsess` files.

- WebSocket: Proxy and replay WebSocket traffic.

So no soft landing anymore
I think sir, you need to “touch grass” as the kid’s say.
Congrats on both of you for putting the effort! I am from Buenos Aires, Argentina, so 100% same language as Borges. However, as both of you already said, it isn't even easy for us to read Borges. He has a complex sentence structure, and uses a lot of not-so-common words, so you have to read it really carefully, paying extra attention (not as I'd read any other text). But in the end is really worthwile, everytime I read something by Borges (new or not), I found it fascinating.
Why "vibe coding" will transform software developers into software architects
It stops them from having to address their national debt, has allowed for incredible spending and the arguably pushed humanity forward with the wonderful inventions. Without it, it will be interesting to see how the future unfolds.
I kept the keyboard

This I understand.

My company's IT department is using the Windows 11 migration to move everyone to new laptops, and I am going to miss that amazingly firm-but-sqiushy keyboard so hard.

I can't stand Windows, but writing long-form reports on that machine is a joy.
I have the opposite experience. I find Cortazar impenetrable, but the Borges stories "speak to me".
Maybe I would have found the book more impactful if I had read it earlier in life. I felt like it put together various ideas and presented them well in a comprehensible manner. What I feel it omits is that the mechanisms of a state only have to be actionable, not rational. If you ask me how to mow a lawn and I come up with some byzantine process involving multiple steps that don't even contribute to the end goal I'm going to be labeled nuts or maybe "eccentric" if they want to be polite. The same scrutiny doesn't apply to the various bureaucratic processes of a state for whatever reason.
>If Mozilla didnt waste money on dumb things

This has been repeated so many times that people seem to have forgotten they're supposed to actually make arguments to support it. There's no such thing as a missing browser feature that could have returned all the Firefox's market share that they were unable to make on account of spending on the VPN or acquiring Pocket or starting the VC fund or whatever. I don't know where this idea came from, but it seems to have been a mass collective hallucination.

I have problems with dabbling in ad tech. I have problems with strategic vision. But I have more problems with people being confidently wrong in the backwaters of internet comment sections not even pretending to attach these claims to any factual basis whatsoever. I mean if you really want to go look at a recent 990 form from Mozilla, look at the amount spent on browser development, make your best guess as to what it costs to administer the VPN, then make the case that the money used on it represents money that could have been invested in the browser development, but wasn't, make the case for the missing feature that would have otherwise been there, and then make the case that that would have boosted Mozilla's market share back to 33%. Those are all the missing steps of actual logic and reasoning and causation that would be necessary to substantiate this argument. But bafflingly, everyone just repeats this while skipping all the steps.
To be sure. But here we are.
This is "broken window fallacy"[1] territory. In economic terms defense spending is mostly waste because a lot of it doesn't get used (hopefully) or gets used to blow other stuff up causing net damage. The fact that it creates jobs is better than nothing, but spending the same money on infrastructure would increase the future productivity of the country.

Hey, at least they were not alone. "Economy/cost of living" consistently polled as the number one issue for Trump voters.
No, if you provide a VAT number, in business to business transactions, companies will not normally charge VAT in the first place, so you don't pay it when you purchase in many cases as a business.

However if you go into something aimed at consumers, and make a purchase, they're normally not set up for this, which is why you're able to reclaim when you have paid it.
They already wouldn't be subject to this tariff if they bought directly from Taiwan. Tariffs only happen when goods cross the border so unless Nvidia's logistics required them to ship into the US to get goods to Europe they shouldn't be affected by the tariffs directly.
Have you been in the startup job market recently? 110k EUR seems like the most common baseline I see for high-growth EU startups hiring engineers with a few YoE. I don't work at a hyped finance company but I make north of the range listed above.
Right but American wages and worker conditions will also need to fall drastically to make it competitive with Asia post tariffs.

Millions of Americans returning to shit tier factory conditions is not a victory.
Explaining the Zoo Model
But this isn't a board game that you can quit and go home. You are subject to your government rules regardless of if you participate or not. So it is probably better to try and get political representation that you agree with 60% of the time, rather than one you agree with 5% of the time.
Yeah, not inaccurate ... maybe loaded? I wasn't really refuting the point, merely responding to why OP may have been getting downvotes. Sometimes words can suggest a bias and people may respond to that.
Is that from the protocols? What would you know about society and empire? You’re just some dork on the internet too much.
What's the laden velocity of a spherical import with no air resistance?
Managers at McDonalds can make $50-70K/yr. There is job security, benefits and opportunities for career advancement. Plenty of people start at the very bottom of the ladder flipping burgers and make it all the way to corporate. It's a tired meme that "McDonalds jobs are meant for teenagers". These are all incredibly in-demand jobs. And plenty of fast food chains pay significantly more, sometimes including benefits like college tuition reimbursement.
and it’s all thanks to a16z and co
I'm really do appreciate all those on HN who comment either for or against these tariff measures by including cogent arguments and relevant facts. As against ...
> until the US collapses and/or another power rises to displace it, which really means the same thing at this point. That might ultimately be China but it's not yet

I imagine the Euro is a contender also even though the EU it's not one homogenous power.

> and the Chinese yuan is wholly unsuitable to be a global reserve currency currently.

Curious why you say this? I was considering holding some EUR and CNY in the event that one of those becomes a replacement for USD
Isn't FOSS about giving something cool to the community, to your fellow developers? If it's money you're after, why starting a FOSS project? How is it any different from bait-and-switch or rug pulls corporate is being shamed for?

I'm not angry with the authors, they have all the rights to go commercial if this is what they want. But I can't help but feel sad about it.
If you round up great engineering orgs that ship impactful stuff more of them don't use JIRA than do. Linear, Basecamp, Asana, Monday etc.

My experience is by the time an org gets hundreds of priorities and can't effectively delegate to sub orgs they're already fucked and there's no point working there if you want to do anything meaningful.
You're a prime example of user that makes maintainers quit.
Seems appropriate as capitalism has pushed people to find the quickest way of plundering resources and of course the big money has thwarted people's attempts to undo or control the scale of our damage.

Generally the material goes the other way nowadays. In Low Earth Orbit debris even deorbits itself within a few years (or few decades for the higher reaches) through natural orbital decline taking it into the atmosphere where it burns up.

There are startups and research programmes working on Active Debris Removal using everything from nets to lasers to destroy or divert debris (as well as larger tugs to remove whole satellites). It's just an expensive problem to solve, and if Kessler Syndrome were to occur, you wouldn't necessarily want to pause space launches to wait for orbits to be cleared, especially not if you'd just lost critical satellites...
>The EU imposed a 10% tariff on US cars for decades while the US only imposed 2.5% on the EU.

Whose faults?
Someone signed the deal, someone let the deal stand 'for decades'.
Trump could have 'rebalanced' any disparities...er, 'nicely', and been annoyingly victorious.
As it is, nah.
Lost trust.
Not visiting, either.
Something that will likely hopefully change your position:

Chat logs, published just this Tuesday by the House Judiciary Committee on X, show that the gag order extended to an FBI analyst who attempted to alert social media companies that the laptop was authentic—before these companies moved to censor the story’s spread.

Plese read the thread at:
https://x.com/intent/like?tweet_id=1907098412652052870

Nutshell: So, the FBI under Biden stated that the laptop story had all the signs of a Russian misinformation op. When an agent wanted to correct the record and mention that the laptop was genuine, he was made to shut up. If this isn't explicit partisan interference during an election period, the there is no standard of evidence that will convince you.
You could have picked up any poli sci book or audited any international-focused poli sci class any time in the last... I dunno, a bunch of decades, and there'd have been a lot of talk about American hegemony, how maintaining that drives a ton of her actions, and what benefits that hegemony brings to the US or others (and the costs). It's, like, a central topic of the whole field, and unipolar hegemony has been the basic framework of contemporary international relations study since the USSR collapsed (with a side-topic of "what about China?" rising in prominence over the years, and their struggle to bring a return to a dual-power system becoming a major topic in the last couple decades)

This isn't secret knowledge, it's like the first thing covered after "what even is International Relations?" It's the 2+2=4 of the topic.
> The anti-abortion people do not care about actual outcomes. There's no interest in safer obstetrics or early years care or preventing school shootings, they're hyper-focused only on abortion.

That is consistent with the position. School shootings are explicitly banned and there'd be a strong consensus that obstetrics should be done to a high standard.

Someone has to draw a line between sperm and human for when the anti-murder laws kick in. The line is fundamentally arbitrary except for 2 logical points (moment of conception and actual birth [0]) that are broadly unpopular choices. It is certainly easy to disagree with any particular line choice but it is all but impossible to rank them theoretically except by letting the political process play out.

[0] Theoretically we could even find a third one and draw the line some time significantly after birth when awareness really starts to build up; but that is a can of worms no-one wants to open because babies are very lovable and probably protected by hard-coded emotions built up from evolutionary pressure.
The EU has already been doing that with "fines".
I don't think the definition of success here has to be overtaking Gmail. In fact, I think that would be doomed to fail. Instead, you want to appeal to people willing to pay for an alternative, which I think is probably a real population of users and honestly one of Mozilla's best strategic moves in years.
Sounds like you're required to be online during 1PM - 6PM, probably for communication purposes. It's really not that bad at all.
8 player multiplayer is unplayable.
The article misses one pretty huge thing: up until maybe 10-15 years ago, politics was - mostly - differences around theories of economy, where both sides had valuable arguments for and against them. Out of that, you could cut compromises and work bi-partisan.

Now? It's by far not among differences in economic policies any more. The differences are much more fundamental: the rights of LGBT people to exist, the rights of women to have a life outside of breeding children, minorities having the same rights as the majority. The questions that form the divide are binary in nature, not a spectrum any more. When differences become existential in nature, reconciliation is impossible - either you grant the universal freedoms to everyone or you do not.
In September of 2012, I bought a T430 from Lenovo. I loved that thing! Covered it with stickers, even upgraded it as the years went on.

Eventually, it had a Core i7-3820QM with 16GB RAM, 1080p screen (with an adapter), SSDs (plural, I put one in the UltraBay)... I installed Coreboot with Tianocore, upgraded the WiFi card... I even modded in the keyboard from a T420.

In June of 2022, 10 years later, I bought an X270 off eBay. I could still use the T430, it was just starting to feel sluggish... I just felt like I needed a new laptop. I'm very happy with the X270 and I hope to use it as long as possible.

It was also fun to start covering it with stickers all over again!

I still have the T430, it's just not being used and it's sitting in a storage locker (with my vintage computer collection).
You spend too much time listening to "experts" on TikTok.
Truly, they do not belong in our True Intellectual kingdom. We must close the gates to keep them out!
> A country as big as many Western countries have simply no business existing, as they are unworkable.

I don't know why you would single out western countries when China and India make most of them look like tiny.
LOL what is he supposed to do instead?

And if the maintainers are dragging their feet because they hate emoji(my guess, it's common enough), what else do they expect than to be constantly nagged by users.
Most of the (existing) artist community seems vehemently against introducing generative AI into their workflows, for better or worse. I'm guessing it would be even harder to convince this community to agree to share data that could replace their jobs.
You get that with any type of networking.
