Not that, but I did think he wrote a second book about writing the 100 mistakes book. I don’t claim that’s a reasonable reading of the title, but it’s how I read it.
It decided that deportations can continue, removing the temporary restraining order. And the administration claims that they are irreversible because those people are no longer in US custody. Such wonderful due process we have...

Then when you look at how SCOTUS justified it, they basically claim that the petition is invalid if it's not filed where the detainees are currently held. So how is it supposed to work if the feds just keep shuttling them around?
Yeah. He stopped the Ukraine war on day 1 just like he said he would.
> - ScummVM, maybe modern games could run under a G4 with Altivec

Having done some testing for the PPC version of ScummVM on 10.4 I can say that it won't run many of the more modern games because none of those machines supported shaders on the GPU, which many of the more modern ScummVM supported games like Thimbleweed Park depend on. A software shader implementation could be added in theory if someone had the gumption to build it but it would most likely be unusably slow on those older machines.
Kids in the 90s had never seen an actual paper file nor a manilla folder either, yet they managed to learn file system concepts. Skeuomorphism is valuable when designing UIs but was never that important for teaching computer concepts 30 years ago.

Dated is right.

Tell them to learn to use the tidyverse instead. For most of them, that will be all they ever need.
The small % you get on each purchase is crumbs, but the cookie is the big sign up bonus you can get.

Like if you are that worried about your money, take the free $2k first.
Show HN: Stickrz – An AI powered sticker creation marketplace
Hey!

I made Stickrz to make custom sticker creation fast, easy and fun.

You just type what you want, and our AI turns it into a custom sticker you can actually order. Most AI sticker sites stop at image generation, but I wanted to go further.

I run the site, handle the code, and fulfill every order by hand with my dad. We’ve got a full printing setup, so every sticker is high quality, weatherproof, and made to last.

Would love your feedback - and if you try it, I’d love to see what you make!
Iirc Pandora’s Box explicitly contained the opposite of hope. The last demon which she kept trapped inside it was “foreknowledge” and the only reason humanity was able to continue was that without knowing the future, we were able to have hope.
How charitable of you to assume those examples work reliably.
Pathological case for link rot.

> The shebang seems underbaked to me. There is no way to reference a user's home directory AFIK. I came across this annoyance when trying to make my python virtual environment portable.

You can use env[0] to invoke a command based on `$PATH` if desired:

The env utility uses the PATH environment variable to
locate the requested utility if the name contains no `/'

For shells which have limited shebang functionality[1], specifying the POSIX shell location and then using its builtin `exec` support can suffice.

What's the issue with f-strings? I'm wondering because I thought they basically had no downside versus using the older alternatives. I use them so often that they are very substantive to me. If anything, this is exactly what python should be focusing on, there really isn't a lot more that they can do considering the design, expectations, and usage of python.
Thanks for sharing your experience, sounds nasty! But I agree, got to do what you got to do.
Are these less useless for translation than f-strings?
Go(lang)'s rejection makes sense.

A format function that arbitrarily executes code from within a format string sounds like a complete nightmare. Log4j as an example.

The rejection's example shows how that arbitrary code within the string could instead be fixed functions outside of a string. Safer, easier for compilers and programmers; unless an 'eval' for strings is what was desired. (Offhand I've only seen eval in /scripted/ languages; go makes binaries.)
Glad to see this, though to my non-lawyerly eyes the ruling is pretty lilly-livered on the points of "facilitate" and "effectuate".
1) It's a bad idea to discuss this on a forum full of feds and fascist sympathizers. Hacker News isn't neutral ground, it's enemy territory.

2) I think grassroots organizing, protest and activism will be more effective than "technology," but as far as that goes, I think efforts to archive data being removed by the government, keep track of censorship and support independent reporting are crucial to push against propaganda and misinformation. Also tools to increase visibility for the need of mutual aid for oppressed and at-risk groups.
Thanks, man! It's not a massive problem - card fraud / license piracy is probably a bigger issue - but just good to know other people are even aware of this! :)

Humans need some level of paranoia, mistrust and waryness of new technology in the same way electrical circuits need circuit breakers and ships need life boats.

Pessimism saves lives and resources. It won't lead us to a better future, but it might save what does.

Furthermore, for many of us, we are already in a state of technological mindfuckery beyond Black Mirror levels. Black Mirror sounds like a fairy tale.

We need humans, kind humans that are not fools. That's very hard to make. Without that any future, technological or not, is bleak.

>he came up with the laws of robotics and then cases on how they don't work. There are a few that I remember, one where a robot was lying because a bug in his brain gave him empathy and he didn't want to hurt humans.

IIRC, none of the robots broke the laws of robotics, rather they ostensibly broke the laws but the robots were later investigated to have been following them because of some quirk.
GCC is still marginally superior at both code size and performance in my experience.

The main thing I like about clang is it compiles byzantine c++ code much faster.

Some projects like llama.cpp it's like eating nails if you're not using clang.

So with projects like llamafile I usually end up using both compilers.

That's why my cosmocc toolchain comes with -mgcc and -mclang.

While I agree with the sentiment, the hope would be their legal dept. being spooked just enough to rein in the advertising dept. just a bit. Lawyers, in general, do not tend to like risk.

It's funny. I view it as a common modality of fraud among the 'cufflinked bozo with a sharp haircut' founder crowd. That is, they probably could have actually pulled off their business plan if they had any ability beyond being able to 'talk a big game.'

LLMs are mostly 'there' if one knows how to use them.

As someone who has helped build one of those cookie banners, I will admit that using cookies to store the state of what you consented to is somewhat ironic, or at least meta.

It's got some really interesting parts though: serving those banners, geolocated (show the right thing for the legal regime you're in) at actual "web scale lol". And while folks hate them, we respect the GPC signal, and then won't show you the banner, just opt you out of everything.

Most discussions suggest that A2A and MCP have a complementary relationship. But I don't think so. If they were complementary, then MCP would only handle local function calls, with all remote services being implemented through A2A. However, from my perspective, A2A can completely handle everything.
>To be honest, the hard part of static site generation is parsing the Markdown, since Markdown is a complex language. Everything around it is simple scripting, which we can easily do ourselves.

I would think 95%+ of the work would be in pandoc if everything was from scratch. And they would have used Zine if it had supported the feature they want.

For larger project, mostly DB selection I completely agree with what you said. But for SSR, especially when there are other similar OSS like Zine available, I think they are fine.

Although I do wish if Zine had all the improvement Tigerbeetle wanted so at least the Zig community could all use one rather than roll their own.

I think lots of non-EU and non-technical bloggers would likely see the email I had (which was just opportunistic marketing spam from a European company and not nefarious) and think they were in breach of something like you say they are probably not.
Only if they want to continue being funded to the same extent. Columbia receives more funding (% of budget and gross) than many public universities.

The headline is obvious clickbait.
Fits the definition though. I'd note two things:

(1) Lots of accidents and near-misses involving 50-seat planes from Bombardier and Embraer. There's a little told story that if you live in a small town like Ithaca, NY your airport sucks and is going to go out of business because of those little planes. Manufacturers know they suck and quit making them in favor of 70-seat planes that the pilot unions won't let major airlines fly in the US. The 70-seaters would have much better economics and would lower fares and attract more business such that they'd have no problem filling them from small airports.

(2) Lots of incidents are getting in the media post the Reagan collision that you couldn't even dignify with "near miss" such as "pilot forgot his passport and plane had to turn around" (if I was the pilot I would have dissembled... I mean, what are they go doing to do to you, send you back on the next plane?) or "passenger lost her phone and plane had to turn around"
gcc requires that contributors assign copyright to FSF (or at least "certify the Developer Certificate of Origin")[0], so a fork isn't gonna get upstreamed without the approval of the fork's authors. So that limits the benefit from gcc-forks to individuals keeping the fork alive.

> To be clear it doesn't have to be happy, it can still be grim and dark, but when every character is a terrible character, it undermines the story

The world is full of terrible people, though. It's a "mirror" on current society, which is probably where they got the name. And by terrible I don't mean "literally Hitler," but the boring terribleness and malaise that so many around us have kind of just slipped into: Selfishness, impoliteness, paranoia, anger, belligerence, spitefulness, indifference to cruelty, unnecessary competitiveness in everything. Just an overall lack of socialization, grace and empathy.

Maybe it's boring to you because the characters' traits can be found all over the place in real life.

Show HN: AgentSDK-Swift – Build AI Agents in Native Swift
I’ve been working on AgentSDK-Swift, a Swift implementation of OpenAI’s Agents SDK. It lets you build AI agents using native Swift code with tool definitions, real-time streaming, guardrails, and multi-agent handoffs.

The goal is to bring first-class agent development to Apple platforms, especially for native macOS/iOS apps that want to embed LLM-powered workflows without depending on Python bridges or Node wrappers.

Create agents with Swift functions as tools
Add input/output guardrails
Set up multi-agent handoffs for complex tasks
Stream results in real-time

Here’s a simple example:

```swift
let agent = Agent<Void>(
name: "WeatherAssistant",
instructions: "You are a helpful weather assistant."
).addTool(weatherTool)

let result = try await AgentRunner.run(
agent: agent,
input: "What's the weather like in San Francisco?",
context: ()
)
print(result.finalOutput)
```

It’s still early days (Swift 6 required), but if you’re building LLM-native tools on Apple platforms, I’d love feedback and collaboration.

Your whole comment is a lie and you and I both know that but I appreciate you lying so openly, makes it much easier to know who the nazis are. There is literally no difference between intifada and Kristallnacht, or a pogrom or a lynch mob, they're all the same thing. You haven't explained at all how they're different, instead you again whitewashed two 5+ year periods of murder, terror, harassment, hate, bigotry, and abuse that was directed at jews, and you are now saying more is needed because of an imagined history of "ethnic cleansing" by some supposed "ethnostate" (whatever that means). You claim Jews are a moral stain on the world... which again sounds so similar to what a certain failed Austrian artist whose book happens to be super popular in gaza used to say...

Really, you right now are guilty of the motte and bailey fallacy, because as you just made up a bunch of indefensible claims so I really am interested to know what your motte is here. how turn the tables...

I totally agree with `Template.__str__()` == `Template.__repr__()`, but I would strongly be for adding a `Template.format()`. I expect that over time I'll be passed template strings where I expected normal strings and adding that example `f(template: Template)` everywhere to my code bases is just a lot of repeated code for no real value.

That said, I think this is a great bit of work and I look forward to getting to use it! Thank you!
Why do they need all that grant money? Surely they have a large endowment. Is it mostly research grants? It’s not like they’re building libraries with it, right?

I was wondering why there wasn't a DOJ concern when Amazon Go did the same thing:

> Amazon Go: Early on, Amazon was clear that it was testing “Just Walk Out” tech — and it was known (at least in tech circles) that they had humans reviewing edge cases through video feeds. Some even joked about the “humans behind the AI.”
> Their core claim was that eventually the tech would get better, and the human backup was mostly for training data and quality assurance.
> They didn’t say, “this is 100% AI with zero human help right now.”

> Nate: Claimed it was already fully automated.
> Their CEO explicitly said the AI was doing all the work — “without human intervention” — and only used contractors for rare edge cases.
> According to the DOJ, the truth was: humans were doing everything, and AI was just a branding tool.
> Investors were told it was a software platform, when it was really a BPO in disguise.
A headband that detects deep sleep via ECG, emitting sounds that hopefully cause positive effects. Cites studies I haven't looked at. No pricing yet; still in pre-production and testing.

"The profession of "lamp lighter" definitely has been destroyed though"

It's somewhat still held by the same people that somewhat-traditionally did the job. In some places, it used to be job of the night watch constable to light the kerosene lamps. Police now days just report a broken traffic light.
I don't feel my social circle is like that. I mean, you're right that there are plenty of people as you describe, but I like to think that I surround myself with people for which that does not match (not always successfully when I was younger, but you learn as you grow older).

As such, bawolff's point resonates with me. And even if that wasn't the case, they still have a good point. If you pick terrible protagonists to begin with, it undermines the morale of the episode a little. Showing how "reasonable" people are affected is stronger, and I indeed feel that both Community and Orville did that really well.
It may not have been clear: I work for a SAAS company that sells a "cookie banner", or more properly, consent management; it's quite a bit more complex than just managing cookies.

Ask HN: Analyzing the behavior of Google Maps reviewers
I'm exploring a software solution for restaurant and cafe owners that helps them better understand the people who leave reviews on their Google Maps places.

Imagine you're a restaurant owner, the goal is to analyze the reviewers other activity, such as whether they've reviewed your competitors, their average spending range, and their favorite types of dishes and more, all based on their reviews in other places in general. This would give you a more complete picture of who they are.

Do you think this kind of insight would be useful?

Do you even consider people who leave Google Maps reviews to be actual customers? And would having detailed information about them help you make more informed business decisions?

Would love to hear your take on this
