More typical policy would give 90 days notice so businesses could plan ahead. This policy was implemented far too fast with far too high of numbers and now it’s also changing rapidly. It doesn’t make sense.

> I'm not American but it seems madness to apply them at any other time

I’m American and I fully agree it’s madness. This administration clearly doesn’t understand or even care how businesses work. They just thought this was going to be a chest-thumping bargaining chip that caused other countries to come begging at the negotiation table.

It’s not working and now they’re panicking. They don’t want to look weak by backing down so we’re suffering.
Sure, but there was never any firm reason to believe SUSY should be true, and certainly no evidence that it should happen at these scales specifically. This is like saying that burning a billion dollars in cash is valuable science, because it conclusively proved that money can't spontaneously reform out of ash, at least not at the scale of a billion dollars.
> If performance isn't your top priority, a pure Python version is available as well.

Then it would have been nice to see the benchmarks of the pure Python implementation as well. What if it's worse than arrow?
I have a question: with the agent.json in A2A being so complex, how do LLMs call Agents?
I might be wrong, but I think you took offence to me suggesting you might be confused. If so, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it in a negative way, I was trying to soften my language but I phrased it badly.

Regardless, my point was that Rust _the language_ does not provide garbage collection. The Arc/Rc structs are where the reference counting is implemented. You can create reference counted objects in C, like GObjects in GLib. However, I think you would agree with most people that C does not have garbage collection. Otherwise the concept of a language having or not having garbage collection is diluted to the point of meaninglessness. At that point I think memory management is a more apt term.
My bad, I could have been clearer. I meant the part with "exporting unemployment".
> battery packs are often structural components, this idea would make that impossible

This is not true. A battery can be structural and swap-able. The structure is determined by what it has to survive in a crash. While standing still in a battery swap station, your car does not need to clear those requirements.

So as long as it crash safe once the new battery is put into place, your are completely fine.
The fact that Go requires a zero value for everything, including nil for objects like it was Java and the 1990's all over again, is one of the reasons I'm not particularly inclined to use Go for anything. Even PHP is non-nullable-by-default nowadays.
Yes yes, everybody should be the Dalai Lama. But I'm not.

Didn't really intend to be judgy, but are you not doing the same when calling out the "Young single urbanites who work from home/downtown"?
I'm not sure how tongue in cheek this was, but I assume it's serious. Either way, it's a fun and smart read.

The article spots well the dark side of the moomins, but in my opinion goes too deep into it. My disagreements boil down to this: "One of the oddest aspects of the Moomin phenomenon is how these complex tales of apocalypse, breakdown and disfunction have been consistently misread as cutesy celebrations of domestic life." Yes, all these things exist, but the point to me has always been that they are cutesy despite that! The stories paint a very typical family dynamic (at least of the time, at least in a Finnish swedish speaking family like Tove's), throws it into weirdest situations, and they all survive together thanks to, and despite, their dysfunctions. And Moominmamma is the most wholesome character ever, period.

Agreed, for example you can give it a sample FastHTML app, and it will basically review that app pretty much learn/pick up FastHTML (a new Python web framework ~8-9 months old) on the fly without even giving it https://docs.fastht.ml/llms-ctx.txt

Obviously it will do even better if you give it the full documentation but it doesn't do that badly in general with the language when you provide a sample app where it can basically just pick up the patterns of the language/framework.
Also, Prolog has the Perl problem. :)
>Note that parts like this are more easily replaced using a hot air station than a soldering iron.

Not to get into a soldering skills contest, but I'd rather use hot tweezers - hot air is the only viable option for components like QFNs and BGAs, but using it always carries the risk of accidentally disturbing neighbouring components, particularly if you're inexperienced. Affordable hot tweezers such as the Sequre HT140 are now readily available from China and make removing small SMD components almost effortless.
Previously it could be anything you wanted. These days, you need formal approval. Google has changed a bit.
It’s not merely about latency, but you also need to consider that any ‘remote driver‘ will have less telemetry, and of a lower quality, than an onboard AI driver.

A human operator wouldn’t even be able to read or interpret the types of data which would be collected and sent by a vehicle such as a FSD Tesla or a Waymo.

Now as I understand it, military forces are really good at remotely operated drones/UAVs so perhaps the tech does exist in parallel, but those are two distinct applications.
I really do sympathize with you, given how much small businesses are often reliant on imports and often don't have enough money in reserve to wait out this chaos. There are going to be a LOT of small businesses going bankrupt over the next few months, while these big companies have much deeper pockets and can weather this storm.
My only use of FB is as a glorified forum for community groups that haven't moved to Slack/Discord/whatever else. Visiting the actual FB UI feels like another planet, it's all weird spam content.
I get the impression that SpaceX's attitude is that it is cheaper to learn by blowing stuff up, than it is to meticulously plan everything (as NASA is famous for). However, SpaceX don't have to pay for the externalities (such as disrupted air travel). I don't see SpaceX attitude changing now that Musk seems to be running[1] a sizeable chunk of the US government.

On a tangent, does anybody have expressive language disorder?
Does it affect your ability to code?

Do you get headaches / mental fatigue while expressing your thoughts?
If you run the math, the max financially sustainable UBI for the US is about $1500/month, less for most other countries. Very few people are going to quit their jobs for $1500 a month. Even if you're only making $7/hour, the difference between $1500 and $1500+$7/hour is the difference between rice and beans for every meal and a somewhat normal life.

Those making $7/hour are often working two jobs, UBI would allow them to quit one of them.

- How many Zaps you’re currently using?

> 20 minutes every 2 hours starts becoming a bit much

I didn't say that it was "20 minutes every 2 hours" - in fact the sentence "If you stop every 2 hours, you don't need the full 20 minutes " says that it's less than that.

Your specific case described "10 mins stop every 6-7 hours" is extreme and of questionable safety. How much fluid did you consume during that time?

I'm not going to say "don't do it", but lets not pretend that it's the average use, or even your average use. So you should not optimise for that at the expense of making other cases worse.

You're also saying that the comparable charging time, even for extreme cases like this, is not all that far off.
This, or something similar, has affected me quite a bit at work. I'll be speaking about something and then suddenly be unable to recall a very common and simple word. Even though I have the concept/thought in mind, I can't find the word and I'm just sort of stuck, awkwardly pausing while I try and remember a word like "representation" or something. Sometimes I just have to move on to something else because I can't complete the thought. It's rather embarrassing because it kind of makes me look like an idiot. Of course, about 15 minutes later the word will pop back into my mind.

I don't really know what to do about it, if there's anything that can even be done.

I usually roll my eyes at technology-as-metaphors-for-the-mind, but it really does feel like sometimes something I'm trying to remember is stored on a tape backup somewhere, and I just need to initiate the recall and then wait a while while someone searches through an archive to retrieve whatever it is. Happens most frequently if I'm trying to remember something I definitely know but don't use very often, like the names of actors in some old movie. It might even take a few days sometimes, but I don't need to actively think about it but it feels like it's a long running background task that will eventually complete.
I never worked at Google (or any other large corp for that matter), but this sounds like the exact opposite of an environment that spawned GMail.

As you think back even to the very early days of computing, you'll find individuals or small teams like Grace Hopper, the Unix gang, PARC, etc that managed to change history by "building something useless". Granted, throughout history that happened less than 1% of the time, but it will never happen if you never try.

Maybe Google no longer has any space for innovation.
I second that. React is not needed anymore, much less nextjs. People should break free from these shackles
Note that there is a “second chance” pool of posts which did not get much attention but are perhaps more interesting to the community than the engagement suggests. The mods seem to agree with this point, given that.

Again, bike-shedding stats on EVs is a waste of time if you care about pollution from tire wear.

If we want to reduce particulate pollution, we’d have regulations to govern acceleration on EVs, make tire monitoring more annoying, and have manufacturers certify tires and make compliance required during state emissions inspections, and get aggressive about the motor carrier overweight enforcement.

If Tesla or other EVs have a problem here, it’s that they are putting inappropriate tires on the cars.
AND because they're usually hidden as implementation detail, a consumer of your module can create simple mocks of your module (or you can provide one)
We need to start taxing vehicles based on the damage they are responsible for.
The 4th Power Law is a principle in road engineering that states that the damage a vehicle causes to a road surface is proportional to the fourth power of its axle load. This means that even small increases in axle load can cause exponentially greater damage to the road.

A Prius causes about 50,000 times more damage than a bicycle.

A truck causes 16 billion times more damage than a bicycle.

A truck causes 31,000 times more damage than a Prius.

The solution is to tax trucks 31,000 times more than cars. Improve walking/biking/trains/public transportation. Private cars should be a luxury which is made a necessity with zoning laws.
> In order to leverage comparative advantage, an economy would need to know how good they would be at producing every possible good.

Maybe I'm not getting what you're saying, but I don't think so. The point of comparative advantage is that even if country A is better at making guns and butter than B, A is better off only making guns or butter and trading to B for the other.
That sounds good! Instead of NFC, they could use QR codes. All the payment terminals can show a QR code, and it's even possible to print a QR code on a piece of paper without the need for the terminal.

Twint does that. They started trying to make it "seamless" with NFC, but couldn't do it because of Apple (maybe now with the DMA it may change) and went for some kind of weird bluetooth stuff. Nobody used it. Then they moved to QR codes, and it quickly got very popular.

Everybody understands QR codes. No need to know whether your phone supports NFC or not, no need to go check if NFC is enabled in the settings, nothing. Everybody understands that they need to scan the QR code with their camera, period. Seems perfect to me.
Broadcast TV modernisation is trapped between a load of enemies.

To the north, competition from a huge installed base of last-gen technology, which is mostly good enough.

To the south, streaming services, youtube and cable. These let people watch whenever they want (nobody has VCRs any more) and they've offered 4k for over a decade.

To the east, the industry's dumb decision to build the 'next gen' technology atop a patent minefield, and load it with DRM. So if you manufacture this tech, you can face huge surprise bills because in implementing the spec you've unknowingly infringed on some nonsense patent.

And to the west, the commercial reality that showing someone an advert in 4K isn't any more profitable than showing the advert in 1080p. If you're a broadcast TV station when you up your quality everything gets more expensive but you don't make any extra money. So why bother?
Why? When there are 100s of hopeful AI/LLM scrapers more than willing to do that work for you what possible reason would you have to do that work? The more typical and common human behavior is perfectly capable of explaining this. No reason to reach for some kind of underhanded conspiracy theory when simple incompetence and greed is more than adequate to explain it.
Is nice that my family's small business is set to get absolutely crushed by tariffs at the end of the month while large tech companies are exempt. Thank goodness for America first policies. So cool. Very cool.
Good question which is in large part answered in the linked article / talk.
It has nothing to do with success. It's entirely for making sure some one besides the person doing the 20% agrees with the idea behind the project.
To be fair, comment^^ actually said

choice between "reading docs/changelogs carefully, implementing functions", and "adding an extra dependency"

which is what comment^ answers to, which to me actually sounds like that the added dependency comes in place of "reading docs/changelogs carefully".

I think it matters a lot how much one can trust a 3rd party library, how much it is used, how much it is maintained etc. Moreover, it also matters how central and important this is to what you are actually doing, for example if the datetimes I come across are pretty much specific and with limited scope, I would probably care about reading docs less than if I am reading data with datetimes that may be totally wild. Furthermore, there are some libraries that are just considered the standard in some fields. If I use python I call pandas to read csvs, I am obviously not gonna write my own csv parser. It will also make your code more readable for others that already know and use the same libraries if they are so standard. But that's probably a very small minority of libraries that people actually use in certain languages.
Wow. Thanks. So when an Americans say they are watching TV, I assume that mostly meant watching Netflix or Cables?

My latest bad experience was whatever version fluffychat used last December, thst was the most recent time I've tried to make a web app work for me. Before that, every version of Flutter I've tried myself, both in debug and release builds. The UI is stuttery and unresponsive in a way that's not happening in mobile platforms, although even on desktop platforms I find the latency rather high. That also includes some rather small Flutter desktop+web applications I've written myself.

It seems like Flutter apps run better in Chrome, but I'm on Firefox. Could be a Flutter optimisation issue or something in Flutter triggering a Firefox bug. Whatever it is, it's making me avoid Flutter web apps.
Flamelens: Flamegraph Viewer in the Terminal
I didn’t have the vocabulary to see it this way, nor the 35 PPD standard. My experience with headwear is from circa 2016 VR headsets that were running a racing sim, with awful screen door effects.

I realize there’s been a decade of progress. However, seeing random no-name AR glasses and being encouraged to buy them “sight-unseen” by a native content article seems like a recipe for being bamboozled.
As mentioned in the sibling comment, Twint goes with QR code. It just works.

It's even better than NFC because a small store can print their QR code on a piece of paper and not need to buy a terminal. Most stores just have the normal card terminal print the QR code and people scan it.

They’re worse than sales taxes, because the goods imported are subject to levies even if they’re unsold and eventually destroyed.
Precisely this. What a bizarre, whiny article. That they try to crocodile-tear about people who lost children is deplorable. People who lost children never forget, and they don't need this guy plying their strange anti-child screed pretending to speak for them.

I lost my mother when I was very young, and I remember being in middle school and being told by a well-meaning teacher that institutions should be more considerate of people like me and stop observing mother's day because it's triggering or something, or brings back memories. This stuck with me because while I appreciated that they were trying to be considerate, it was a ridiculous, ill-conceived suggestion. I never forgot that I lost my mother, and pretending that everyone else also didn't have mothers wasn't helpful. It was actually harmful.

Netflix is often something that people share with family in social settings. Even people who don't have children, who lost children, or who hate children like this weird guy, have family situations that sometimes involve children and they want to pull up a children profile. Maybe there should be a setting this guy can set to hide this because it's so triggering to his anger, but what a lame thing to whine about.
>hey plan to provide experiment agnostic and unified framework that is actually unified and user accessible. The field really need something like that, it is usually the pain point of most junior graduate student. The field suck at documentation and keep coherent software and write code in a bad way most of the time. I think they can have much better framework than Fermilab's art [2].

I don't think that I've ever heard of an area of software where folks say "it's got great documentation and the code's really good". In fact many programmers react allergically to any code that they review (including code that they wrote themselves but have forgotten about).
Looks like that was added in the last day from what I can tell. Glad to see it, but still weird that they aren't links.

I wasn’t satisfied with any of the pop up terminal libraries so I threw my own together in less than 50 LoC
I believe that for a long time, Apple was preventing the use of NFC (or was it just for payments?). The EU Digital Markets Act is supposed to prevent them from doing that, as part of the "interoperability" part. And I think the DMA is great in that sense.

My hot take on context is that it's secretly an anti-pattern used only because of resistance to thread locals. While I understand the desire to avoid spooky action at a distance, the fact that I have to include it in every function signature I could possibly use it in is just a bit exhausting. Given I could inadvertently spin up a new one at will also makes me a bit uneasy.

I think this explains why they chose to put it there, instead of one of the other free spaces. It's just too smart not to do it.
Switzerland (which is not a country that doesn't know how to do banking :-) ) uses Twint (a Swiss app) with QR codes instead of NFC. To me it's better than NFC (it works with printed QR codes, e.g. on parking payment machines).

I don't know anyone in Switzerland using Apple/Google Pay, which IMO is a national success.
At NAB someone asked one of the ATSC folks what would happen if the key is compromised and someone didn't connect a receiver to the Internet. The answer was "the receivers have many built in public keys. They should last the lifetime of the device."
