Same here. There's one or two things I can't bear to cancel, but I've moved all my email from Google Workspaces to Proton, cancelled Netflix, cancelled plans to go to DEF CON, downgraded storage for Apple iCloud to just above what I need instead of way above, cancelled plans to get a new MacBook Pro this year, stopped buying groceries from companies with American owners, etc.
The fact that they’re not in 2.4ghz range is crucial.
This article makes the naive assumption that "what is making money" is an objective thing.

Once a company reaches a certain size, basically once it has a financial planning department w/ different VPs owning their PnL, who is making money increasingly becomes a social construct. "how to get promoted" by spakhm is much more closer to how a large, successful org works IMO: https://spakhm.substack.com/p/how-to-get-promoted

I've seen this in my career multiple times. For example, when I was involved in search for some companies, we would demonstrate through A/B testing that we would make X more money per month. Executive team changed, they decided that "A/B test does not work and slows us down", the definition of making money changed, we overnight went from a money-aking org to a cost center.

Nowadays, most companies are pushing GenAI everywhere. Most of those things don't make money, and yet a lot of promotions will be obtained across the board until the tune ends.
> Colossal’s dire wolf work took a less invasive approach, isolating cells not from a tissue sample of a donor gray wolf, but from its blood. The cells they selected are known as endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), which form the lining of blood vessels. The scientists then rewrote the 14 key genes in the cell’s nucleus to match those of the dire wolf; no ancient dire wolf DNA was actually spliced into the gray wolf’s genome. The edited nucleus was then transferred into a denucleated ovum. The scientists produced 45 engineered ova, which were allowed to develop into embryos in the lab. Those embryos were inserted into the wombs of two surrogate hound mixes, chosen mostly for their overall health and, not insignificantly, their size, since they’d be giving birth to large pups. In each mother, one embryo took hold and proceeded to a full-term pregnancy. (No dogs experienced a miscarriage or stillbirth.) On Oct. 1, 2024, the surrogates birthed Romulus and Remus. A few months later, Colossal repeated the procedure with another clutch of embryos and another surrogate mother. On Jan. 30, 2025, that dog gave birth to Khaleesi.

The process seems to have dictated this. They needed an easy surrogate, a dog, and wolves required no need of introducing anything new into the genome, it's "just" reactivating what is already there.
Very good article!

The best programmers I know don't say they're the best programmers. Endurance, patience and the will to read+understand is key.
Well said. Young engineers must understand that there is no problem more sales can't fix. Your brilliant solution to problem X must pass the sales test for it to be considered a true success story for your company.
I wear a facemask when around a lot of people or around any vulnerable people (hospital, clinic) to help protect both myself and other people. I may be contagious and not know it.

I wash my hands for the same reason.

I am fully vaccinated (I don't travel much anymore, but when I did I got those vaccines relevant to my destination) for the same reason.

I am increasingly okay with dying because I increasingly understand that I'm just one of many humans on the "bleeding edge of life", in it together; it's not all about me.
A guess: You could be seeing a side effect of laws that require companies to remove all of a user’s “data” upon request.

They may have been legally obligated in some jurisdiction.

Unfortunately under these laws the issue isn’t yours or your projects. It was the users.

There are a lot of unintended side effects like this.
Most venture capital is invested into companies with traditional business models, not extreme growth ventures.

Most startups are still traditional business model. Every company was once a startup.

My local supermarket was funded by the people living in the community, each buying a few shares. I don't think any of them expected 100x return.
This sort of thing doesn't happen because of just one person. The situation reminds me of the (fictionalised) account of the Roman Empire in "I Claudius": the narrator remarks that corruption had well set in in the centre under Tiberius, but everything looked ok to those outside the City until the madness of Caligula. That's not to say that the majority of Americans are bad people, but the political culture must have been diseased for some time for this to be possible.
Absolutely. Some genius outsources IT to Malaysia....I ask for an IP address to be statically assigned to a test machine and the ticket is opened and closed.....next day the IP has changed. Repeat x20 till we give up - telephone calls and complaints notwithstanding. Someone closes 20 tickets and looks productive because that's the way they're being managed.

I bet the MBA who made this happen got a promotion and wouldn't understand how they crippled everyone.

I admit this is an old story but IMO it does show you how management by people who don't know and don't care screws a company quietly. That's a famous company that did in fact have a major problem.
> The simplest explanation is that this administration wants the US to be hated

Why would they want that?
> I think that Trump’s approach, while more theoretically valid than it is being given credit for, is the wrong one.

I disagree that Trumps approach is "theoretically valid". So do 16 Nobel Prize-winning economists and the entire stock market.

> These tariffs, however, are much more complicated, because they exist (for now anyways), while a war does not.

I think the author means to imply that the tariffs will be short lived here. However, I initially misread it to mean that a war was coming, and found it to be prescient. Republicans lost the house/senate for 50 years the last time they tried tariffs. It's going to take a pretty large distraction to keep the retirees from noticing that cat food doesn't taste as good as it used to.
It doesn't have to be high to be negative EV
Because programmers are creating the abstractions, not the programming language.

And there is no OS I'm aware of that will threaten Unix's dominance any time soon.

I'm not against it, but C's being so close to what microprocessors actually do seems to be story of of its success, now that I think about it.

I personally haven't written in C for more than a half-decade, preferring Python, but everything I do in Python could be done in C, with enough scaffolding. In fact, Python is written in C, which makes sense because C++ would introduce too many byproducts to the tightness required of it.

I was programming C using my own object structuring abstractions as C++ was being developed and released. It can be done, and done well (as evidenced by curl), but it just requires more care, which comes down to the abstractions we choose.

So, I would say "eclipsed" is a bit strong a sentiment, especially given our newly favorite programming langauges are running on OSes written in C.

If I had my druthers, I'd like everything to be F# with native compilation (i.e. not running using the .NET JIT), or OCaml with a more C-ish style of variable instantiation and no GC. But the impedance mismatch likely makes F# a poor choice for producing the kinds of precise abstractions needed for an OS, but that's just my opinion. Regardless, the code that runs runs via the microprocessor so the question really is, "What kinds of programming abstractions produce code that runs well on a microprocessor."

I've never thought of this before, thanks for the great question.
That sounds almost exactly what ChatGPT's Deep Research does. (Not to be confused with Grok's which seems to be doing mostly busywork)

It's a bit like a crawler, goes through papers, then follows down to other relevant papers. One advantage I see it seems to be able to search through movies as well.

But in the end you get a stack of reading materials and still have to do the work of reading them. I did try to get it to summarize them into instructions but it drops the main points.
I hear people complain about this all the time, but all of the political content I see on HN is very critical of Trump.
>If you're careful about how you store personal data in the first place

Unfortunately this is a really big "if" looking at typical businesses. They have no idea about how compliance should work and they also hire barely qualified people to marketing teams (often interns), who may accidentally add some privacy-breaking stuff. To prevent that they hire an external DPO and then deal with the paperwork for that DPO, who never visits the company onsite and never meets real people touching privacy topics.

So no, it's not a breeze, because there's generally no enough expertise and temptation to use American non-compliant MarTech is high.

One possible solution to that could be a pan-European registry of data processors with enough metadata to a) generate privacy policy, b) request correct consent, c) provide a compliance implementation checklist for non-trivial cases. There could be a small fee for adding services to this registry, but that would make maintaining compliance much easier.
Seems similar to the linux kernel coding style: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/coding-style....
In another Chinese article, they mentioned using GPMI instead of what Samsung uses optic and power cable for a separate box. Basically they want to separate the Panel and the controller. You buy a Panel like a monitor, except it is powered by a devices using GPMI cable. That devices will have the TV processor, WiFI, RAM, Network, TV tuner etc.

I would imagine if this caught on Apple may want to get into this set top box business.
Git's initial commit
Another GraphHopper dev here. This is quite odd. Github users should not be able to delete comments of others by simply deleting their account, even for issues they opened themselves.
The odds that every case becomes high profile seems unlikely. It's probably much worse.
You're on a forum supported by a startup accellerator for entrepreneurs who want to get stuff up and running with as little friction as possible. It's fairly obvious that Sinclair's quote would ring true here.
Yet they have also gotten involved in a very destructive war that destroyed their fossil fuel markets, made them a pariah and wasted their Soviet heritage military arsenal. Would not count it as development.
Even though other manufacturers may not be reporting these numbers, Level 2 ADAS systems are pretty common as far as I can tell. Wouldn't any vehicle with adaptive cruise control and lane-keep assist be considered Level 2 ADAS?
...yes? The risk is now definitely higher (and advertised by your own administration) than in many other destinations on Earth.
Man I really needed that last month playing with some friends. Would have been hilarious and more fun!. Bit of a reducto-ad-absurdum though isn't it.

But in all seriousness there is a difference between something that is forgiving and something that requires a high degree of practice to master. If its a hobby, get what is forgiving.

If you can't see the wisdom in that advice, well you can lead a horse to water eh.
For completeness sake there are also many LifePo4 battery options that have heating pads that will activate below a certain temperature. Even Amazon have about a dozen brands with heating pads.
Not everything has to scale, and we should be comfortable with some ideas just being bad and us not doing them.

We got here because of scaling. We can now efficiently tap into the mental space of billions of humans at the same time. And that’s not just a problem, that’s THE problem.

Meaning that “this doesn’t scale!” isn’t a side effect. It’s the main effect, it’s the solution.
What reason is there to think that there is any more backstory? More transparency might yield new information, but it might not. The situation might simply be exactly as it appears.
It's not just Trump. US was already very hostile to the rest of the world and Trump just dialed it up to 11.
Canon’s “sport professional” camera has lower resolution than the “second tier” cameras. It has a higher frame rate and CFExpress and SDXC2 so bandwidth isn’t an issue. Last I checked you could burst 40 or 50 frames (at 20ish fps) before filling the internal buffer.
> For example in the USA, they will refuse to speak German with you. So what?

Actually they would most likely be delighted to show off their German if they knew any. But that is besides the point. English for better or worse is the current international language.

I can found a new company in Estonia in literal minutes without speaking a single word of Estonian and without being physically present in the country because the whole process is digital and in English.

If you want to attract international talent you have to adapt.

> The German word "Freund" (commonly translated with "friend") has a different meaning than the English "friend" - the relationship goes much deeper. I don't think that Germans are not open to making new "Freunde", but if you want to have shallow, superficial relationships, Germany is not the ideal country. Vice versa, if you want to have deep relationships, you will likely be annoyed by the USA.

Yeah, Americans have only superficial friendships, only us Germans know the value of real friendships. (Sarcasm)

You are not wrong about there being subtle cultural differences but it isn't an either or. You can value deep friendships but still be friendly towards acquaintances.

In the end it doesn't matter the reason. If expats feel like Germans are acting coldly towards them and have a bad time in Germany, that is what they are feeling. It doesn't matter if there are good reason for that or if Germans didn't even intend to act coldly. It just fact that Germany is often seen as one of the least friendly countries for outsiders. Not everyone, some do find it easy to integrate but most don't.

I sick of the chauvinism is see from other Germans. Our culture isn't better or worse than others. We certainly have many areas we could improve.
"I honestly can't think of anything that can really match it even today"

This is exactly my thought.

Perhaps Attio or Google AppSheet?
Hate? I get we're on a completely different page - but if you asked most people in Canada or EU right now they would tell you we're scared, not hateful.

We're fully aware that the guy who put tariffs because he got angry at us on a whim is the same guy who can launch the nukes.
I can offer only second-hand knowledge, but I was told at the time that Lotus was intending to keep the RAD aspects and drop email from it completely, leaving cc:Mail as a standalone product. But IBM came along and wanted to modernize their email system, so Lotus took a deal to take the direction IBM wanted because it also brought massive marketing and consulting power and could drive adoption better than Lotus could.
I often have a hard time telling which is the madman and which is the Nazi friend.
You're both half right.

There's no law, regulation, or court case because the industry self-regulates in fear of a new law being made.

https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2014/aug/20/heineken/n...

> "The fact that it is self-regulated now, that’s not something brewers would want to put in jeopardy," Kirkpatrick said. "It’s the way they have operated for decades. You show a lot of people enjoying a football game or enjoying a baseball game but you don’t show any consumption. I don't think you’re going to see that change."

> A Heineken beer commercial said regulations ban showing someone drinking beer on camera. If you take a more relaxed view of regulations, that’s close to the truth. The rules come from the television networks, not the government. The restriction might not have the force of law but it’s just as effective. We rate the claim Mostly True.
The threats to Canada aren't attracting nearly as much attention as they should. The problem is people have got too used to just assuming that what Trump says is bullshit: it's just there to sound good on the news, there's no intent to actually do it. Then the tariffs hit.

If there's the slightest possibility that what he says is not bullshit, then Canada needs to take it very seriously and the entire northern hemisphere security architecture needs to permanently change.
Twenty years since Linus Torvalds committed "Initial revision of "git", the information manager from hell"!
Actually, it does and will in the right conditions. Look at page 11 of that link.

I did some research, and the plating issue happens when charge currents exceed the ability for the battery to absorb them, which dramatically decreases below freezing.

That is why those battery charts show dramatically reduced charge currents (nearly zero) when around freezing.

That data sheet also doesn’t cover cell life in these conditions conditions.

They have very high normal C ratings (hundreds of amps) which is why it is measurable and not actually zero, but reducing it to a couple amps before failure isn’t much different.

If batteries aren’t failing in these conditions, it’s because of some other protective circuit, not because the battery itself is special. It isn’t.
Absolutely true, but "crazy" is a lot broader.

Looking at the crazy New York city, with the crazy architecture and such or going othe replaces and seeing the crazy car centric structures, but also the crazy neighborhood between rich and poor or just the crazy landscape around Grand Canyon or Niagara Falls.

The positive crazy compared to negative crazy sums up less and less to a positive value, though.
> Everyone seems to be saying it's "tough medicine" and will help bring industry back to the USA

Everyone just assumes that bringing manufacturing back would be a good thing. I can't see why. It will make everything cost more, and our unemployment was already as low as it could be. Our problem was inflation, not a lack of low paying jobs.
I'll have a better look later at the methods and sources used, but given the US crack down on border policies from the previous minimal effort achieved by the Biden administration in securing our borders, this is to be expected. It's been less than three months from Trump taking office. Like the stock market this will swing back over the year. The US voted for change with borders being a top issue. It is going to take a while to come back to center from the actions to effect the change. Axios is not exactly a great objective source as rated by third-party media watchers as being left leaning, Soros funded. It would be great to see comparable stats from the UK and Canada and Germany where I'd expect the graph to be like the US Biden-era policies. Seeing how the UK and the others have been flooded with immigration this past decade, I'd expect to see similar "falling off a cliff" stats once they tighten their borders and policies. I see this as a necessary counter swing of the pendulum when you go from almost no scrutiny to normal scrutiny at the borders. It will stabilize to a norm, so I am not concerned. I had very bad border experiences in the late 80s in England and France, so I have some emotional experience to temper my opinion here. It sucks to be singled out unfairly or due to operator error in filling out forms, but how just how many Canadians have had this bad experience in the past 3 months compared to the 17 years of data previous? Was the reporting and SOPs of the border equivalent for statistical purposes?
> I travel even more than you

How do you know? It doesn't look like OP specified how much they've traveled.

> I only got robbed twice...in Johannesburg, South Africa and Stockholm, Sweden...it happened on 100% of my trips to Sweden

That sucks, I'm sorry that happened. It sounds like it happened once, and so that "100%" is just one trip by one person? Unfortunately, that result is within the realm of randomness, though I'd understand if, to you, it felt bigger than that.

That said, I don't think it compares to arbitrary (or worse, politically- and personally-motivated) government detainment (or otherwise harming) of innocent people.
It's also easy if you simply stop trying to track users and only store the most necessary data. Like, no one ever seem to consider this.

Meanwhile, this same community a few days back were discussing the idea of trying to abolish advertisement. That's truly bluesky thinking if we're still justifying user tracking in 2025.

Neural Graffiti – A Neuroplasticity Drop-In Layer for Transformers Models
Liquid neural networks are awesome - they change how that "neuron black box" connects over time given its past experiences, emulating the human brain in relating concepts and how it changes our perspective.

They are great at time series forecasting like weather and analytics, however the idea is to do it on a transformers model, making it acquire neuroplasticity at token prediction - and as we know its very expensive to train a whole model from scratch.

I figured we could splice in a new neuron layer inside the model's networks right between the transformers layer and the output projection layer that actually predicts the tokens. This way the thought would have "influences" of past experiences for every token generated aka. during the entire line of thinking, making the model acquire a "personality in behavior" over time.

The vector embeddings from the transformers layer are mean-pooled and "sprayed" with past memories changing the way each token is generated, influencing the meaning and therefore choice of words in the vocab space. This neural “Spray Layer” also remembers the paths it took before, blending new input with previous ones and gradually evolving its internal understanding of concepts over time.

It won’t guarantee exact word outputs, but it will make the model lean into certain concepts the more it interacts. For example: Tell it you love dogs, and over time, the model will start leaning toward dog-related kindness, loyalty, and fuzziness in its tone and direction. More teste are yet to be done and I know there is a cold start problem, finding the sweet spot is key.

This is quite fascinating, especially because we don't know exactly what happen at the model's transformer neuron level and how it makes the connections, but hacking it like this is interesting to watch.

I called this technique "Neural Graffiti", and it is free and open for everyone.

Try the demo and give it a star on the github repo!
"They" can be used as singular in the English language.
