Normally we don't prefer Wikipedia submissions when third-party articles are available, but the submitted URL here (https://thartribune.com/the-woman-who-turned-a-hospital-into...) seems a bit too sensational, and the Wikipedia article seems to have all the information, so I've gone the other way this time.

There's also this article from 1995:

Perhaps but that's not relevant to the comment I was replying to and to the point of my reply. Neither were about the potential impact of Trump's presidency.
The difference from FFT is this is a multiresolution technique, like the constant-Q transform. And, unlike CQT (which is noncausal), this provides a better match to the actual behavior of our ears (by being causal). It's also "fast" in the sense of FFT (which CQT is not).
There's a counter for that as well but I can't quote the verbal self defense book right now. But one of the main defenses taught in the book I have is against "if you really" pattern.
Still wrong. Also this very much does _not_ match what is in the EO.
TizenEase – A simpler way to deploy Samsung TV apps without using Tizen Studio
We were working on Tizen TV apps and got frustrated with how unstable and bloated Tizen Studio is. So we built our own lightweight deployment tool — it connects to the TV, packages the app, and pushes it in just a few clicks.

This tool has been a huge time saver for our team, especially for QA testers who don’t want to deal with command-line tools.

I wrote about the journey and tool here:
https://medium.com/@kostadinoskihristijan/tizenease-deployin...

Curious if other teams working on smart TV platforms have faced the same pain points. Would love to hear what you think.
> where the server-generated HTML fragments were generic enough that the server and client HTML documents didn't need to know anything about each other's HTML.

> all these systems that did HTML injection over AJAX were tightly coupled

That's because the presentation layer originated on the server. What the server didn't care about was the transformation that alters the display of the HTML on the client. So you can add add an extension to your browser that translate the text to another language and it wouldn't matter to the server. Or inject your own styles. Even when you do an AJAX request, you can add JS code that discards the response.
The US has been fucking Latin America for decades, you just mean that it isn't El Salvador..
You’re misunderstanding - I’m saying it should be only going to public universities, not private.
Another idea is to only co-author with people with your last name, as in
"A Few Goodmen: Surname-Sharing Economist Coauthors" by Allen C. Goodman, Joshua Goodman, Lucas Goodman, and Sarena Goodman:

> We explore the phenomenon of coauthorship by economists who share a surname. Prior research has included at most three economist coauthors who share a surname. Ours is the first paper to have four economist coauthors who share a surname, as well as the first where such coauthors are unrelated by marriage, blood or current campus.

I think we’re actually broadly in agreement. I’m unfortunately busy at work so I’m not articulating my position as well as I perhaps should, but I don’t think all debt or deficit spending is bad. It absolutely has a place and should be utilized. I don’t think this explains the US though. We’ve already hit 100% public debt to GDP (or 120% total debt to GDP) and I’m not seeing this slowing down. The last projections from the congressional budget going into reconciliation is a doubling of public debt in 10 years from what I remember.
Underusing Snapshot Testing
Yeah, wait-free data structures often contain linked lists. That doesn’t cancel out all of the other problems.

Anecdotally, I’ve seen wait-free structures used incorrectly many more times than I’ve seen them used correctly. Some people think they are magically faster because “acquiring a mutex lock is expensive”, but that’s far from always the case.
Show HN: FlowTask – Multitasking is killing your focus. This app fixes that
If you're working at a startup, you probably wear 5 hats and feel pulled in 10 directions. I built FlowTask to fix that.

It's a dead-simple tool that is built on single-tasking principles, it allows you to hide everything but your most important task—so you can stop context switching, cut busywork, and finally finish things.

It’s designed for people who need clarity, not clutter.

Try it free, no fluff, just focus: getflowtask.com

I think anyone that cares enough about embedding performance to use niche models is probably parsing their PDF's into some sort of textual format. Otherwise you need orient your all your pipelines to handle images which adds significant complexity (hybrid search, reranking, LLM calls, etc - all way harder with images).

Not to mention an image is optimistically 50 KB vs the same page represented as markdown is maybe 2–5 KB. When you're talking about pulling in potentially hundreds of pages, that's a 10–20x increase in storage, memory usage, and network overhead.

I do wish they had a more head-to-head comparison with voyage. I think they're the de facto king of proprietary embeddings and with Mongo having bought them, I'd love to migrate away once someone can match their performance.
I also wonder if "Kitty Litter/Zeolite" was read without context in the white-paper, i.e., any type of kitty litter rather than specifically the inorganic kind.

Follow-up: I should add that in 2025, deleting stories with a tinge of US politics is highly detrimental to the HN user base’s understanding of what is happening in the business world.

Case in-point: a US-based family member employed at a FAANG just told me that his Canadian coworkers now reset their phones prior to entering the USA, then restore from backup. This is somewhat similar to what happens when they go to China.

This is terrible for business. This kind of information should not be ignored.
> Good psychiatrists absolutely “call themselves doctors” and definitely seek to exclude or treat organic causes of psychiatric symptoms.

Well, yeah, you're just stating the contrapositive corollary to my assertion: that psychiatrists who don't "call themselves doctors" [i.e. who don't think of themselves as treating the patient's problem holistically first-and-foremost, and instead just do "talk therapy but you can prescribe"] are bad psychiatrists.

> Your ideas about how psychiatry is practiced might have been correct in the 1950’s

It might just be where I live (Canada), or the particular moment one will find a psychiatrist in their career to have openings to accept new patients to their private practice without a years-long waitlist... but the vast majority of psychiatrists I've interacted with personally as a patient, or have heard about interactions with through friends, have all had a distinctly 1950s mindset.

It might be because most of them have been seemingly nearly old enough to have gone to medical school in the 1950s. Most of them are only a year or two away from retirement.

(Which is frustrating, because it means I and others I know have to keep getting a referral to a new psychiatrist; wait-listing in to see them for an initial consult; seeing them for 1-2 years; and then getting dropped when the psychiatrist retires. And no, none of the psychiatrists I've been to have ever tried to create treatment continuity by cross-referring to another still-working psychiatrist; you just arrive at their office one day for an appointment you scheduled six months back to find it empty.)

But it also seems to imply that — despite the regular continuing education requirements for maintaining licensing — these folks don't seem to actually put the more-modern perspectives they've been exposed to into practice.
> I want Weird to be my digital ‘soul pod’. It’s the digitized me; the source from which all of my other digital being springs forth.

I recommend working on your elevator pitch, because while strangely eloquent, that is utterly incomprehensible.
What do you think the problem is, do you think it’s just hard to create national news programming that both left and right can agree on? I don’t really listen to NPR anymore either, I guess a lot because I don’t drive as much but somewhat because the best shows have gone independent. I like the idea of NPR, but maybe it just doesn’t have a place in the modern media landscape?

Either way, this feels like a phyrric victory.
It won't be novel the 100th or 1000th or millionth time, and standards will rise accordingly. But for now it is, or at least 2 months ago it was.

I think one of the risks of the gentle parenting discourse is that so much of it focuses on scenarios involving young children, where the stakes are ultimately very low. Kid won't put on his coat? That's okay, we don't need to go to the park. Oh now it's on, okay we can go later than planned, whatever, it doesn't really matter. Kid won't eat his food, well we can sit for an hour at the dinner table playing mind games and negotiating around his feelings about the textures and colours on his plate, or maybe he can wander off and come back in a bit when he's more hungry, or maybe I'll just only prepare food I know he likes so that I don't have to deal with it.

The older kids get, the less this works— older kids have real commitments, things like school that have consequences to the parents if they are missed. They have sports and other activities to attend that are on a schedule and may have cost money to enroll in. They need to get enough sleep to be functional. They are increasingly exposed to situations that are more complicated to untangle if/when they go sour.

And older kids are smart enough to walk away from a "validation" discussion if they detect that the end goal is just to get them to do the thing— they will simply issue ultimatums: "I don't want to talk about my feelings on this, I've told you straight up I'm just not doing it, end of story."

So it's not that parents are "focusing only on control", it's that particularly as kids get older parents need to strike a balance between good faith listening and validating, while still ultimately retaining the last word and being able to be an authority when it matters. I think some gentle parenting acolytes miss this reality and believe that the toddler scenarios cleanly extrapolate up through teen years, and that everything can be managed through a pure consensus model— and believing that is how you end up capitulating to your kid over and over again, ultimately letting them run wild.

meshtastic plans to support more radios then only LoRa so worth updating,

so for example you can use esp32 lora node not only for lora low bandwidth comms but also high speed wifi transfers, for example pictures of intruders !

no just joking.
It's not ideal for file transfer due to low speeds. But it's great for things like having a bunch of battery powered sensors in a field somewhere that report some telemetry every hour. Or in the meshtastic case, sharing your location and short text messages in areas without cell service.
If you think rationality is a lobotomy, maybe your emotions are running a dictatorship?

Being right doesn’t make you an asshat. Refusing to correct yourself when proven wrong does.

> I don’t think being more right is a noble goal.

That’s a pretty telling sentence. If someone doesn’t value being more correct, what kind of compass are they using to navigate the world... Vibes?

Rationality isn’t about amputating emotion. It’s about not letting your emotions pilot the plane blindfolded while high on conspiracy podcasts telling you which way to bank.

Emotions are data. Rationality is how you integrate them, not ignore them. A rational person doesn’t become unfeeling; they align their feelings with reality, and update when their model of the world is provably flawed.

The lobotomy comparison is just absurd: actual rationalists care deeply about things- they just make sure their caring isn't built on delusions. That’s why rational frameworks helped de-stigmatize homosexuality, dismantle phrenology, and challenge witch trials. Emotional reasoning alone got us the burnings, not the liberation. Emotional reasoning got us Turing's chemical castration, not gay marriage rights.

A rationalist by YOUR definition wouldn't even care enough to fight homophobia with reason. See the difference?

Also, literally the entire system of justice (an exemplary combination of rationality and feeling) doesn't make sense, given your anti-justification for rationality. The accused looks like a rapist, I just know it, he's just got that look in his eyes. Let's go with that. Judgment for the plaintiff!

Also: Being “technically right” is only annoying when it’s used to score points. Being functionally right- especially when it affects policies, freedoms, or lives- is kind of the point of civilization.
On Jupiter, it’s mushballs all the way down
There are many retail places that I know that are just unable to keep up with ever increasing rent. There is only so much a retailer can do with the prices of their products before they lose customers. Losing customers only worsens the pressure on paying rent.

Consumers say they lament the loss of brick and mortar stores, yet their actions of only buying online shows that isn't really that big of a loss to them. It's such a weird situation for a retailer. I don't envy their situation.
> I live in NYC now, and fortunately we still have Micro Center which is still fun, though I do worry that it might go the way of Fry's Electronics soon enough.

When Fry's died during (not because of) the pandemic, basically half the comments on articles were "oh no, what about Micro Center?" to which the immediate response was invariably "they're all completely packed" (partially due to the pandemic meaning everyone wanted better computer gear for WFH). During the height of the GPU shortage, it was often said that your best chance of getting a GPU was going to the nearest Micro Center. On all of my more recent trips, Micro Center has seemed to do pretty strong business.

Somehow, Micro Center does seem to have found a strong niche that makes it survive as a brick-and-mortar store in an increasingly online store (hell, Micro Center's website is pretty notorious for looking like a 90's webstore). Part of that is probably knowledgeable salespeople (something Fry's was known for lacking). And I think there's also a savvy psychological rationale behind its expansion policy--its stores always come across as just a bit too small, and its locations too few, but the flip side is that you don't have cavernous spaces you need to fill (like Fry's did).
> Kalimba, VE

> No idea what this is, and Google won’t help me.

VE is harder to find with such short name.
this is semi-relevant -- and I do love how technically amazing this all is, but a massive caveat for someone who's been dabbling hard in this space, (images+video) -- I cannot emphasize enough how draining text-2-<whatever> is. even when a result comes out that's kind of cool, I feel nothing because it wasn't really me who did it.

I would say 97% of the time, the results are not what I want (and of course that's the case, it's just textual input) and so I change the text slightly, and a whole new thing comes out that is once again incorrect, and then I sit there for 5minutes while some new slop churns out of the slop factory. All of this back and forth drains not only my wallet/credits, but my patience and my soul. I really don't know how these "tools" are ever supposed to help creatives, short of generating short form ad content that few people really only want to work on anyway. So far the only products spawning from these tools are tiktok/general internet spam companies.

The closest thing that I've bumped into that actually feels like it empowers artists is https://github.com/Acly/krita-ai-diffusion that plugs into Krita and uses a combination of img2img with masking and txt2img. A slightly more rewarding feedback loop

> It shows up as well in modern parenting guidance, including long term studies claiming that parents who prioritize validation over correction produce children who end up not just more mature, confident, and self-assured, but also with much better adult relationships to those parents.

Self-reported "studies" probably. It's highly unlikely this could be tested in any rigorous way. (Not to mention the problem with what "mature, confident, and self-assured" actually means)
Oh nice- haven't heard of this- checking it out thanks

For a while, people were sure Barnes and Noble was doomed, but recently they've done a big turnaround, even opening new stores. Anecdotally, the ones I've been to in recent years do seem nicer and more attractive than previously. Maybe there's a lesson in how they were able to stay alive.

> The former varies in length and form; the latter is concise and consistent.

IMHO, even though the latter is shorter, I did not get why it's that much better. I think in some ways, shorter is not better at all.

I try to follow these rules when writing commit messages, and had wuite good experience with them:
- in the first line, name the changed subsystem/component and then a short description of what changed
- follow with a list of bummet points about key changes and their reasoning, especially if something was renamed/moved/...
- always reference a ticket, a comment of a ticket, or some other reference

If I re-read the commit message, I want to be able to know (or have at least an idea and to know where to look further) _why_ the code is at it is.

Ads work on you? A serious question.

They ellicit so much immediate mental resistance on my side (coupled with ads-free life mostly via Firefox & ublock origin that propagates way beyond just blocks of static ads, ie no youtube ads at all) that any of those rare times I experience them, I add some small amount of hate towards given brand & product.

Somehow, brands that invest heavily in pushy ads tend not to be my main focus anyway so google et al just keep missing badly with me.

“But you have to pay for expensive technical experts to run your own computers, you don’t with AWS/Azure.”

That’s the usual comeback from the cloud true believers.

The essential message that AWS wants you to believe “Your company doesn’t have the skills to run computers, and you need no technical experts at all to use AWS”.

The cloud is where Moores Law goes to die - insanely expensive slow computers.
CMake gets a lot of hate because a lot of large projects use it poorly and the syntax is strange, but I've found it invaluable for projects I've worked on. The first page of this site has a great list of reasons why someone would want to use CMake. I would recommend at least reading that far rather than reading "CMake" in the title and reflexively commenting something negative. I skimmed through and this seems like a nice resource to get people spun up on CMake, I'll recommend it to new users in the future.

Telling people that "Clang can compile for any architecture you like!" tends to confuse them more than it helps. I suppose it sets up unrealistic assumptions because of course outputting assembly for some architecture is a very long way from making working userland binaries for a system based on that architecture, which is what people actually want.

And ironically in all of this, building a full toolchain based on GCC is still easier than with LLVM.
