This may be to Trump's benefit in several ways. First, he gets the result he wants despite the "administrative error." Second, unless the federal courts employ the "capable of repetition yet evading review" exception, or some other exception, to the mootness doctrine, the case would be moot; the courts can do nothing; Trump claims victory; and we have on our hands, at least for a while, bad precedent (or a case whose precedential value Trump can contort to his own ends).

No doubt there are other advantages to him, but these two are salient.
The law in the immigration act to disallow people who espouse support for terrorism is a good one.

We protect freedom of speech for citizens because we have to. They are part of our country.

I don’t believe this extends to foreigners. We should allow only immigrants who do not support terrorism and want to be productive members of society. This isn’t too much to ask.

This is not a right or left issue. This is a pro-America vs con-America issue.
Consider the use case from the article: this is a family management support or "AI butler" application. So I control the end with the LLM on it, which I administer - but not necessarily the other, which is anyone in my family, not just me. So unless I want to try to make everyone use my weird custom AI messaging app like I aspire to Bay Area thought-cult leadership, I'm going to meet people where they are and SMTP's cheaper than SMS.

If I'm building myself a toy, then sure, I can implement whatever I want for a client, if that's where I get my jollies. React Native isn't hard but it is often annoying, and the fun for me in this project would be all in the conversation with the agent per se. Whatever doesn't get me to that as fast as possible is just getting in my way, you know?

And too, if this does turn out to be something that actually works well for me, then I'm going to want to integrate it with my phone's voice assistant, and at that point an app is required anyway - but if I start with a protocol and an app that that assistant already knows how to interact with, then again I have an essentially free if admittedly very imperfect prototype.

Show HN: Cloud Snitch, an open source visualization for AWS activity
Inspired by Little Snitch, I decided to see how effective the same sort of explorer could be for AWS. The result: github.com/ccbrown/cloud-snitch.

I'm fairly happy with the result and I've learned a lot I didn't know about API calls that AWS services are making internally, but I'd love to know what you all think. Do you have something similar that you're already using for casual/unfocused exploration of CloudTrail data?

That's a fair point, but it doesn't follow that the current status quo is necessarily reasonable. You had earlier suggested that the fact that it broadly meets the needs of service operators somehow invalidates objections to it which clearly isn't the case.

I don't know that "3rd party session cookies" or "JS" are reasonable objections, but I definitely have privacy concerns. And I have encountered situations where I wasn't presented with a captcha but was instead unconditionally blocked. That's frustrating but legally acceptable if it's a small time operator. But when it's a contracted tech giant I think it's deserving of scrutiny. Their practices have an outsized footprint.

> service to provide alternative methods of interacting with it when possible

One of the most obvious alternative methods is logging in with an existing account, but on many websites I've found the login portal barricaded behind a screening measure which entirely defeats that.

> if a site is on the internet it is going to need protecting eventually

Ah yes, it needs "protection" from "bots" to ensure that your page visit is "secure". Preventing DoS is understandable, but many operators simply don't want their content scraped for reasons entirely unrelated to service uptime. Yet they try to mislead the visitor regarding the reason for the inconvenience.

Or worse, the government operations that don't care but are blindly implementing a compliance checklist. They sometimes stick captchas in the most nonsensical places.
we have passkeys… unfortunately it doesn’t seem like the narrative really took hold in the mainstream.

What?! I do know this, and take great offense to the insinuation that my comment is "reddit"-like. I didn't feel it necessary to iterate over how VCware works since, as you said, everyone already gets that part.

Anyway, the "this place is getting more like Reddit by the day" thing has been a Hacker News staple for (well) over a decade too. Check the end of the HN guidelines, you'll have a chuckle.

Anecdotally, when I had a potential skin cancer checked at a London hospital they were completely ill-prepared.

Facebook, wary of someone doing to them what they did to MySpace, was going around buying anyone who might be the next thing. It wasn't necessarily clear that Insta would blow up in the way it did but it was clear that was Facebook's motivation for buying.

Also "tiny 1 billion dollar acquisition" is not how I'd characterize what was the largest acquisition FB had made up to that point: https://archive.nytimes.com/dealbook.nytimes.com/2012/04/09/...

> Though Facebook is known for smaller acquisitions, Instagram’s surging momentum likely compelled the social network to swiftly put together a billion-dollar offer.
I love the SSD1306 simply because a simple arduino can drive it at ~150fps making for some really smooth graphics. 1 bit per pixel monochrome OLED means it's got a tiny frame-buffer, and you can drive it ridiculously fast especially over SPI. It's really great for stuff like realtime gauges etc.

Zionism to me means that the Jews are entitled to self-determination, and that the modern state of Israel is the fulfillment of that promise.

Anti-Zionism is the negation of that idea; namely that Jews are not entitled to self-determination and therefore should live at the whims of the countries where they are a minority for their security.

Merely objecting to an Israeli policy or even a Jewish value is not intrinsically antisemitic. But if you criticize only Israel about some issue, and grant a free pass to everyone else on that same issue, that's when things become problematic.
Ah! That makes sense, thanks!

And yes, the audio data runs over I2S - the chip I’m using just uses I2C for control.
Emacs was sold to me as an editor however, and technically that wasn't a lie.

The distinction you're making is too only technically correct. Emacs is still (also) an editor. I judged its editor abilities and found them lacking. Finally I woke up and understood it's not for me and moved on.

You can stop arguing now.
>, trying to beat your competition by buying them is incredibly illegal

If you weren't aware, it's actually legal to buy a competitor. It just has to pass antitrust review.

E.g. In 2006, the government approved Google acquisition of Youtube which competed with Google Video:
https://www.google.com/search?q=google+2006+acquisition+yout...

Companies buy/merge competitors all the time that passes FTC legal review. E.g. Boeing acquired competitor McDonnell Douglas. Hewlett-Packard acquired Compaq Computer.

And sometimes US government encourages mergers. E.g. US asks stronger bank buy a weaker competitor bank. It's been leaked that the US Govt is encouraging competitors Intel and AMD to merge ... so the USA semiconductor industry can be stronger and thus, less dependent on Taiwan TSMC and stay ahead of China.

I don’t think we can go back to some things like ircd or mud talkers because they are too “chatty” to users. People like simplified centralized services with on screen discovery in the form of popups. The small internet will have to stay small
Their weekly active user number is 10% of the estimated total number of Internet users (and growing rapidly). It's quite hard for that to happen with a high churn rate, because they'd very quickly run out of new users. For the numbers to remain high, either the users are retained of they return.
Also with some manufacturers believing the lifetime of a device should be less than 5 years and ideally less than 3 years, and are treating software/firmware support in those lifetimes, there's a lot of perverse incentives hidden behind anyone suggesting "for the lifetime of the device". As bad as some of the old cable monopolies were, they were at least sometimes held to Ma Bell's "the lifetime of a device is supposed to be 60 years" standards (which Ma Bell didn't always follow either, but that's another matter). I realize the ATSC exists primarily to sell new standards, but maybe we need ways to get back to longer planning horizons than 3-5 years.

One of the legacies of bringing IG to FB was ReactJS.

Prior to the IG acquisition ReactJS was used internally across product surfaces inside the FB apps… but was not an open source library. IG was acquired as a mobile app but did not ship a first-class WWW product for browsing posts and profiles. I believe it might have been Pete Hunt that wanted to build the IG WWW product surface on ReactJS. This meant decoupling ReactJS from hardcoded dependencies and assumptions that were specific to the FB products.

Once ReactJS was decoupled from those FB specific details it was ready to ship as a legit standalone infra in 2013.

Would ReactJS have shipped as standalone infra without IG? Maybe… eventually. The FB philosophy in those days was generally not to build infra just for the sake of building infra. Infra was supposed to solve for real-world problems and measurable product impact. If the only front-end products inside FB were on FB and there was no impact to be earned from decoupling those dependencies… it's possible that engineers might not have been incentivized to ship it open source as soon as they did.
If you're going to do I2C just get an LCD display. This OLED can be driven at 150fps by simple devices like an ardunio which is where it really shines - super crisp, high contrast, smoove as buttah graphics for realtime readouts etc. OLED over SPI is really visually impressive stuff and effectively 0 latency. Using the SSD1306 for static displays over I2C is almost a crime.

The source article says that "mental and behavior disorders and drug and alcohol induced death contributed to 21.2% of late maternal deaths". It seems clear that at least some drug overdoses are being counted in the late maternal deaths subcategory.

(The article also says "homicide, suicide, and drug overdose are the leading causes of pregnancy-associated death", although they do take care to note that pregnancy-associated is a broader category which statistics don't typically include.)
I enjoyed the read but it stopped short, and I think people in the west too readily latch on to the "anti-colonialism" part of the 30+ year Vietnam war.

Certainly fighting the French was motivated by this, however the last 20 years of the war it was more a civil war between the communists and not-communists, a North vs South civil war, and proxy fight backed by both the USSR and the west.

I don't have references handy but it's interesting to read the experiences and feelings of the Viet Minh in South Vietnam, and how they were sidelined once the North took over. Also Vietnam invading Cambodia soon after points out that fighting colonialism was not a prime motivation of the northern leadership.

> But in this case, when you opened the GitHub issue, we noticed that you’re part of the Meilisearch team, so we didn’t want to spend too much time explaining something in-depth to someone who was just doing competitive research, when we could have instead spent that time helping other Typesense users. Which is why the response to you might have seemed brief.

Well, in this case I was just trying to be a normal user that want the best relevancy possible and couldn’t find a solution.
But the reason why I couldn’t find it was not because you didn’t want to spend more time on my case, it was because typesense provide no solution to this problem.

No it wasn't. You're buying into some alt-health nonsense.
IDE's can generate the proper structure and make simple assumptions, but LLM's can also guess what algorithms should look like generally. In the hands of someone who knows what they are doing I'm sure it helps produce more quality code than they otherwise would be capable of.

I'm unfortunate that it has become used by students and juniors. You can't really learn anything from Copilot, just as I couldn't learn Rust just by telling it to write Rust. Reading a few pages of the book explained a lot more than Copilot fixing broken code with new bugs and the fixing the bugs by reverting its own code to the old bugs.
I'm not sure. They did supposedly organized "Decolonization in Mathematics" conference. I have no particular interest in figuring out what that means exactly on a non superficial level because it would be a waste of time.
Maybe LLMs will be the forcing function to finally slow down the crazy pace of changing (and breaking) things in JavaScript land.
A) It's hard to argue that the war in Gaza was indiscriminate when the IDF achieved the highest combatant-to-civilian casualty ratio in the history of urban combat, despite Hamas hiding in tunnels underneath population centers.

Because you don't know what the lighting is, what the sensor is, and what kind of shit the camera app and ISP are doing to the image without telling you

Probably at some point we will all have a separate medical camera with specified response and with a specified led illuminator. Apple will probably get their phone certified in some medical camera mode. Right now I don't think phone cameras can be trusted

love this new shiny toy
I prefer quadlet for 2 reasons:

1. Podman is simpler than Docker. There is no long-running daemon. Rootless is default.

2. Quadlets can be managed as systemd services, giving me the same tools to manage and view logs for system daemons and containers.

Quadlets have been especially nice for bundling up an AI app I wrote as a cloud-init file, making it easy to deploy the hardware, software and models as one artifact.
If I were the elderly parent, being on the receiving end of this would be the worst thing. Certainly worse than being ignored by my children.

Podman quadlet supports "Socket activation of containers" https://github.com/containers/podman/blob/main/docs/tutorial...
This allows you to run a network server with `Network=none` (--network=none). If the server would be compromised, the intruder would not have the privileges to use the compromised server as a spam bot. There are other advantages, such as support for preserved source IP address and better performance when running a container with rootless Podman + Pasta in a custom network.

> I find most niche / less popular languages lack the developer tools ecosystem in ways that simply hinders adoption by more devs.

Niche languages often serve specific purposes that don't require broad tooling. They also sometimes can leverage tooling from more popular languages. Less popular doesn't necessarily mean less capable - some niche languages have excellent tooling in their domain. Not to mention that not all developers need the same type of tooling or prioritize certain set of tools equally, like for example, for me personally - homoiconicity and REPL-connectivity in a language are far more important than LSP or some other things.
