So you will find employment with someone who also has trouble with the government? Why would they pay you in crypto? In this hypothetical world where the government doesn't want you to pay for things, and crypto exists, why aren't they also going after your crypto and employment?
No, I wasn't implying "as opposed to anywhere else". I spend much more time a day in the terminal than the browser (todos are in vim, knowledge in vimwiki, code in vim etc), but I realize not everyone is this way and the web is the much more common medium.

My understanding is EBA’s RT1 is enabled by SEPA Instant CT. Itself an industry lead initiative under ECB oversight. ECB is tiding things up with TIPS by evolving the specifications and also providing the service directly in central bank money. At a much lower price.

TIPS represented more than 50% of all TARGET number of payments at the end of 2024: https://www.ecb.europa.eu/stats/payment_statistics/large_val...

Beyond TARGET, ECB noted repeatedly the reliance on international card schemes for electronic payments and card transactions in the EU. The latest report restating that accounted for approximately 61% of euro area card transactions in 2022: https://www.ecb.europa.eu/press/pr/date/2025/html/ecb.pr2502...

OpenAI should just call his bluff and make an offer to sell. It would be an amazing exit for the founders and investors for a company that will never be profitable.

He'd probably have to buy it to preserve his own ego.

Elon might actually go broke if enough people rake him over the coals the same way Twitter did.
You mae a clone, you didn't open source it. My suggestion is to post this again in a few days with a title like:

Show HN: Open souce alternative to SpurTest

or just drop the comparison, because SpurTest is not so famous

Show HN: Neutrino Test is an AI-powered QA platform that automates end-to-end testing

Also, the repo has no license, so it's not "open source". Choose a licence carefully.

It's not so much about what you _can do_ but about the messaging and posturing, which is what drives the adoption of standards as a social phenomenon. My team's been working on implementing MCP-agents and agents-as-tools and we consistently saw confusion from everyone we were selling this into (who were already bought in to hosting an MCP server for their API or SDK) for their agents because "that's not what it's for".

Kinda weird, but kinda simple.
In the last paragraph you describe the overwhelming majority of humanity, seemingly without any sense of irony. What outcome do you expect here?

The CO2 angle is a weird one. I can't see this succeeding on anything more than novelty scale unless it's cheaper than chocolate.

If it's cheaper, this could easily be a vanilla/vanillin situation.
That’s actually the opposite. The consumer is the one dictating prices and preferences.

Because cars are a high $ item vs. shoes. A business's overheads don't scale linearly with item price, so it's possible for a car mfg to achieve a similar net profit margin to a shoe mfg but with substantially lower gross profit margins.
False. Lego is some of the most precise injection molding in the world. The tolerances are insane and they nail them every time. Compare with offbrand building blocks and you'll feel the difference.

Micromolding is very hard, and Lego is the best at it.
> Hypermedia applications use javascript (e.g., htmx - the original subject), so I'm not sure why you're hung up on that.

Because you falsely claimed otherwise:

>> This is a solved problem. It is simple to download content shortly before it is very likely to be needed using plain old HTML.

So, another false statement on your part.

> You just send the request on keydown. It's going to take about ~50-75ms or so for your user's finger to traverse into the up position. Considering anything under ~100-150ms feels instantaneous, that's plenty of time to return a response.

No, it's not "plenty of time" because many users have latency in the 100's of ms (mine on my mobile connection is ~200ms), and some on satellite/in remote areas with poor infra have latency of up to a second - and that's completely ignoring server response latency, bandwidth limitations on data transport, and rehydration time on the frontend.

> Considering anything under ~100-150ms feels instantaneous, that's plenty of time to return a response.

Scientifically wrong: "the lower threshold of perception was 85 ms, but that
the perceived quality of the button declined significantly for
latencies above 100 ms"[1].

> We were originally talking about "normal" (js) web applications (e.g. react, angular, etc.).

Factually incorrect. We were talking about normal frontend technologies - including vanilla, which you intentionally left out - so even if you include those heavyweight frameworks:

> most of these apps have all the traits I mentioned earlier. We all have used these pigs that take forever on first load, cause high cpu utilization, and are often janky.

...this is a lie, because we're not talking about normal apps, we're talking about technologies. All you have to do is create a new React or Angular or Vue application, bundle it, and observe that the application size is under 300k, and responds instantly to user input.

> And now you have subtlely moved the goals posts to only consider the web apps you're building, in place of "normal" js webapps you originally compared against htmx.

Yet another lie, and gaslighting to boot. I never moved the goalposts - my comments have been about the technologies, not what webapps people "normally" build - you were the one who moved the goalposts by changing the discourse from the trade-space decisionmaking that I was talking about to trying to malign modern web frameworks (and intentionally ignoring the fact that I included vanilla webtech) based on how some developers use them. My example was merely to act as a counter-example to prove how insane your statements were.

Given that you also made several factually incorrect statements in another thread[2], we can conclude that in addition to maliciously lying about things that I've said, you're also woefully ignorant about how web development works.

Between these two things, I think we can safely conclude that htmx doesn't really have any redeeming qualities, given that you were unable to describe coherent arguments for it, and resorted to lies and falsehoods instead.

The claim that it's just spitting out code it's been trained on. That is simply not the case, broadly speaking - sure, if you ask it for a very specific algorithm that has a well-known implementation, you might end up with such a snippet, but in general, it writes new code, not just a copy/paste of SO or whatever.
Because $25 per "pair" of shoes is absurd. That's Nike "juking" the stats to make it look like they pay far more than they do per pair of shoes. For one thing, as a consumer you can buy individually shoes that are at least as good of quality as any Nike Shoe for anywhere from $8-$12 delivered. So the idea that Nike, in bulk, is running factories that are known to be questionable and paying $25 per shoe is "pure fantasy". Just based on known labor rates and material costs it's safe to say $4 on the high end if you factor in a bunch of operational and brand based overhead.
It sounds like you're advocating for a centrally planned market that allocates resources according to a grand, rational vision. A free market will by definition be messy, sometimes inefficient, adhoc, and defy any notion of a grand vision. You have to trust the free market to produce the best results in the long run, and to be the most responsive to change (opportunity).
The funny thing about this is how it's one of the most boomer conservative hot issues about what is wrong with the world today.

Trump is truly the ultimate populist in all the low-education kinds of ways. It's exactly why he's trying to dismantle higher education, because morons worried about their shower pressure will let you dismantle Medicare and crash their 401k as long as you can bring back plastic straws and disposable shopping bags.

Of course if you tell a conservative that disposable products didn't use to exist and that great marketing efforts had to be undertaken to convince people to throw away perfectly good items in order to ensure that plastic industry profits didn't dry up, that would just be "woke." I guess eggs cost too much but the water/sewer bill is fair game.
Why would they take a percentage of your salary? You're the recruit. They're providing the business a service (good recruits who can fill a position), so they charge the business. You're providing the recruiter a service (being that good recruit), so they pay you in the form of a signing bonus. Additionally, since the employer pays the recruiter a percentage of one year's salary, the recruiter is incentivized to make that salary as high as possible, so they'll negotiate on your behalf in that regard.

"OpenAI did not use FrontierMath data to guide the development of o1 or o3, at all.... we only downloaded FrontierMath for our evals long after the training data was frozen, and only looked at o3 FrontierMath results after the final announcement checkpoint was already picked."

I'm of the opinion that

var ageLookup = new Dictionary<AgeRange, List<Member>>();
foreach (var member in members) {

If only the Europlug or Type F had a fuse they would obsolete this terrible plug; worse to step on than a Lego brick ;-) (sarcasm; I prefer the euro style over these bulky ones. Fuses should not have to be necessary. The us/china blade plugs are terrible; easy to fall out of a socket)
Nice work! The race condition was clever.
Given how forcefully Meta has cracked down on this, this doesn’t feel like that big of a gotcha. Hell, she’s not even allowed to speak about it outside of congressional hearings because of Zuck’s lawyers. If not for her book, we wouldn’t be talking about this at all.
I despise Facebook for many reasons, privacy being a major factor. On the other hand, both Trump and Musk own competing social media companies, and the CEOs of other social media companies have attempted to curry their favor. So, there is a potential for conflict of interest here, which could lead to a misproportion of due process. Or, regardless of truthfulness, some form of leverage. Or the trial is just for show. Maybe the accusations are true, but there's a reason this person is coming forward now.

As a North American, I'm very jealous of the BS1363. I know some people don't like the mandatory ground pin, but it actually serves a really handy purpose. Because the shutter is engaged by the slightly longer ground pin, the shutter just works with minimal resistance.

In the US and Canada, the electrical codes now require tamper resistant receptacles in most residential settings, to stop children from poking metal objects into them. Because the ground pin is optional on plugs that connect to the standard NEMA 5-15R receptacle, you can't use the ground pin as a keying feature like you can with the BS1363. Instead, there is a mechanism that is supposed to only allow a plug to be inserted when both hot and neutral pins are present. It is probably the worst thing ever designed. Sometimes it works fine, a bit of extra pressure and the plug goes right in. But most of the time, it stubbornly binds up and you're left trying to fiddle with the plug to find the perfect combination of pressure and angle that allows the shutter to open. It can be horrendously frustrating.

Fusion would be something totally new.

The other thing to look at is the number of high impact papers in Materials Science, Chemistry, Engineering, Comp Sci and Physics and look at where they are being written. Check the image from The Economist in the article below :

https://asiatimes.com/2025/03/behold-chinas-innovative-golde...

It's great for the world that China now has hundreds of millions of people who are able to have much better lives and tens of millions who are making great contributions to the world.

China has done what the US did in copying Europe 150 years ago. The US copied Europe and then went further. China is now doing that.

If fusion is successfully done in China rather than the US it will still be great for people in the US. The US can copy it.

The only thing is that the US's dominance is ending.
It doesn't get one, on account of not being a mandatory part of SUS.
TR: I know why they did it, but I'm not a fan of the tradeoff. I don't think making all the sockets worse is the solution, people with kids can just baby proof their place (I have a toddler, and we baby proofed our house).

Fuse: I'm not familiar with ring circuits and everything you mentioned, though I was aware it's for fires. Other places (and the UK as well in most apartments I had) have centralized fuse boxes. Is this still needed?

Either way, these are reasons for why things were done the way they were done, but reasons aside, the usability is inferior.
I think that's why it's called day-trading and not "long term strategic trading"
Is there a serious steelman argument for why it makes sense to reflexively call protests against Israel anti-Semitic? The Jews are a globally distributed (and somewhat loosely defined) cultural group, whereas Israel is a specific concrete geopolitical entity. They are just completely categorically different things. Even if you have insane pro-terrorist views and want to wipe Israel off the map (which, to be clear, I don’t support), it’s not necessarily the case that your reason for holding those beliefs is antipathy to the Jewish culture, religion or ethnicity. Indeed that might be why you hold those beliefs, but as far as I can tell it’s not logically required.
I have asked Claude to solve scientific problems which I absolutely know are not in its training data, and it has done so successfully. I am not sure why people think it is only regurgitating training data. Don't be lazy and learn how it works--LLMs do generate generalized models, and employ them to solve previously unseen problems.

These days, for new software, even OpenGL is obscure. And it stands out as odd--Vulkan is essentially the Khronos-approved successor to OpenGL, which is/was an API so thoroughly removed from the modern GPU model that any program using it would be CPU or system memory bound on modern hardware.
"Observable is obnoxious if you want to add a D3 pie chart to your Vue application and have to untangle calls to D3’s API from reactive cell values, which look like ordinary JavaScript, but are not, and will cause compilation and runtime errors when copied."

Yep - as I wrote: "If you want to just blindly copy and paste d3 code, you may have issues with the docs being hosted on observable."

If instead you learn the core api (selections, bindings, and update patterns), any chart is really just a matter of using the correct layout/generator.

Here's d3 pie: https://d3js.org/d3-shape/pie

No need for going into Observable at all, as the pie generator is completely documented.

But if, as you mentioned, you prefer to copy the code from Observable, the linked pie example is extremely simple to do so: https://observablehq.com/@d3/donut-chart/2

Zero reactive cells, you can literally just copy the code inside the cell statement (e.g. the curly braces).
Not really. The opposite. The current market is centralized a lot more than people want to see or admit. I had trust in the free market for a long time but it has not really materialized the best results. As can be seen by the current state of affairs. Everyone fighting over who gets to have money and production is not freedom, it's a war without guns.

Just to make this clear, a truly free market would be desirable but I don't see it materialize on this world.
I wish you success! And hopefully you don't end up disappearing like SpatialOS. They tried very hard promoting its capacity for large scale MMO, even published a game (Scavenger IIRC?) made with it.
I had a client fall behind on my consulting work by about $75K for a software product I was writing for them. I negotiated a revenue sharing agreement of 10% and we would call things even while I finished the application. I finished and was paid about $2M over ten years, with almost no work done for those years.

Then before Covid they needed more work done (customers and revenue were dropping because no updates to the application) so I negotiated part ownership of the company and have been working full-time on it since to try to increase revenue.

So yes, no pay, no work. But pay doesn’t have to be a paycheck. That said, I could be getting paid more right now if I was working in a more traditional role in a more traditional and larger company.
This article unnecessarily frames this phenomenon negatively.

Democrats desperately need to shuffle out leadership and replace them with fresh strong leaders who can combat MAGA and offer solutions that aren't status quo.

"The middle" is just shorthand for "status quo," and it has been quite clear since at least 2016 that nobody on either side of the aisle is happy with the status quo.

It's so odd that the article seems to imply or indirectly frame retiring at a normal age as something that is unfortunate or a little sad.

We desperately need more 30-40-somethings in Congress who understand how the modern world works. The 60+ year olds with few exceptions understand the world they find themselves governing in, with social media, AI, and other features of modern life making our lives look unrecognizable compared to just 10 or 20 years ago.
They need to take it back, regardless. It's proven that Americans can't be expected to elect adults to the Presidency any longer, they no longer use logic or emergency situations, they use it for egotistical narcissistic feelings of being important by playing red light, green light on a trade war between the two most dangerous countries in the world
Creating digital currency can be as simple as incrementing a number or adding a ledger entry. Creating paper currency can be quite expensive. There are tens of billions of US notes in circulation.

Both are "profitable", as there is more money in the end, but governments are eating real costs to manage the physical bills.

When in human history has a reasonably educated person been able to do that calculation rapidly without a calculator (or tool to aid them)? I think it's reasonable to draw a distinction between "basic arithmetic" and "calculations of arbitrary difficulty". I can do the first and not the second, and I think that's still been useful for me.

I do agree that it's a fair point to ponder. It does seem like people draw fairly arbitrary lines in the sand around what skills are "essential" or not. Though I can't even entertain the notion that I shouldn't be concerned about my child's ability to spell.

Seems to me that these gains in technology have always come at a cost, and so far the cost has been worth it for the most part. I don't think it's obviously true that LLMs will be (or won't be) "worth it" in the same way. And anyways the tech is not nearly mature enough yet for me to be comfortable relying on it long term.

The UK ain't alone in that either. California's agricultural sector is one of the largest in the world (let alone in the US) in terms of revenue and output, in many cases providing most/all of national and even global supplies of various fruits, vegetables, and nuts. Virtually all American almonds and broccoli, 90% or more of American dates and avocados, top producer of peaches and dairy products, the list goes on.

And yet, California's entire agricultural sector only totals to $50 billion in annual revenue. There are multiple tech and entertainment companies in California that individually surpass that, in some cases (like Apple and Amazon) by an order of magnitude.
Not really surprising. I'm sure all the major tech companies are engaged in this kind of deal making. The influence of China over Amazon is obvious and there has been cases of algorithmic tampering and account unlocking in their favor.
