Every time I read about the fever-dream utopia that libertarians so desperately want, I am reminded of the town which fell apart because the ideas in practice simply don't work:

"When a group of libertarians set about scrapping their local government, chaos descended. And then the bears moved in." [1]

> We propose novel urinal designs that were generated by solving differential equations derived from the isogonal curve problem to ensure the urine stream impacts at or below this critical angle. Experiments validate that these designs can substantially reduce splashback to only 1.4% of the splash of a common contemporary commercial urinal. The widespread adoption of the urinal designs described in this work would result in considerable conservation of human resources, cost, cleaning chemicals, and water usage, rendering large-scale impacts on modern society by improving sustainability, hygiene, and accessibility.

The experiments aren't in real world scenarios or with real urethrae excreting urine.

> A pseudo-urethra nozzle matching the internal geometry of a human urethra was used to “urinate” a controlled jet of dyed water onto urinals and the subsequent splash was caught on a large paper on the floor.

Thanks for not making (the worthwhile among) us chase you for long-overdue money.

Towards the end of my electrical contracting career, my few clients were all on retainer. The initial months of pandemic helped me to confidently fire everybody else.

But early in my career I was too afraid to use liens/small-claims; I'd only give a single warning, at this point in my life.

Looks like that might be the case. Sorry everyone who might have wanted to read this — I'll repost it when I get this sorted. :(
This makes me think of The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO), I remember a scientist working there in an interview right after the first discovery telling the reporter how back in the day he was dissuaded by his teacher to go into the field because "there's nothing there, it's not a serious field of research" or something along those lines.

Maybe a bigger collider is exactly what we need, and if it fails that's also useful as a confirmation to go in other directions. To build it right now instead of other things is the difficult question because that's politics.

This is remarkably naive. I wish you were right, but this sentiment isn't optimism; it's complacency.
Show HN: Open-Sourced AI CLI Tool
I’ve been working on Code2Docs, an open-source CLI tool that helps developers automatically generate inline documentation (docstrings + comments) for Python code using AI.

It’s built to solve a common problem I’ve faced (and seen often in teams):
We code by "vibe" — fast iterations, minimal docs, and then forget what the logic was months later.
Code2Docs helps bridge that gap by documenting as you go — without breaking your flow.

Right now it supports function-level documentation.
Planned features include:
- README.md generation for projects
- API endpoint docs
- Database schema documentation
- Architectural diagrams for larger codebases

It’s ideal for messy, fast-moving codebases or devs who hate writing docs manually.

Requirements:
- Python environment
- OpenAI API key (stored locally, not uploaded anywhere)

Try it out:
- PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/code2docs-cli/
- GitHub: https://github.com/xKarinSan/Code2Docs

Would love your thoughts, feedback, or suggestions — especially from devs juggling legacy or rapidly-growing projects. Thanks!
For some perspective, the bulk of this is simply illegal in the Netherlands, likely other countries in the EU as well:

- layoff plans must be communicated ahead of time. Minimum 30 days notice, usually much more

- Needs to be negotiated with worker representatives (works council, syndicate if there is one)

- LIFO principle for layoffs, newest employees are let go first. Stack ranking not possible

- Any kind of discrimination is forbidden

- At a minimum, you get 2 months pay + accrued holidays

It's baffling to imagine that you could learn about your job disappearing from one day to the next, and be immediately left out in the cold.
> I was talking about being "understood as desirable cars". You are now talking about business success. They are not the same.

I mean to be widely desirable car requires some business success first.

> Do you think people would rate these fictional cars less desirable just because they doesn't exist?

Yes. You must be a rare carhead to judge the whole thing from just the outside and engine sound. The rest of normal people know they cannot and use reputation as proxy. I don't think it needs proving..,
Not that I know. JSON requires strings to be quoted which is basically the problem here. Of course it’s not a great human writable configuration format (no comments being a huge problem).

I’m just pointing out that it should be very simple to swap a YAML file for a JSON file in any system that accepts YAML

There is also a reason tariffs only get raised on a multi-generational time scale, e.g., 1820s, 1890s, 1930s, 2020s.

The effects are so bad that nearly everyone who remembers the disaster must have died off for anyone to think it is a good idea.

At this point, it is obvious that there is no geo-political or geo-strategic plan of any type. The administration is just winging it, and Sen Murphy's explanation is the only one available.

It was also noted that the person occupying the president's chair said "they must be forced to negotiate". When someone is forced to negotiate, that is not a negotiation, that is extortion. Welcome to another nation run like a mob office.
I've actually made a joke for years that we're gonna put boots on mars before we figure out how to not piss on our pants. I've been trying to ask Elon on Twitter to design a urinal for years as a joke. This is amazing.

I installed GrapheneOS on my Pixel 4a after Google deleted the battery life[0], and while the initial move was frustrating with things not working, I've adapted and have a nice feeling of security while using my device again.

No, not quite. The electron-positron collision will allow more precise measurements. The goal is precision, not higher energy range, where a proton-proton machine would be much better. The goal is not to go beyond LHC in energy to see if something new shows up because of moar energy. The goal is to go to high energy with electron/positrons to measure stuff more precisely.
As a thoughtful person, you've got to learn to curb your instinct to make sense out of things like this. It's a waste of calories.

I work for a bank and we're banned from using AI because of the privacy problem. I'd think there is a big market for a product like this.
Paid APIs are definitely a thing. Payment gateways do this.In the LLM era you can do this too - lots of data processing to be done.

But compare Aider/Claude Code with Cursor. One is much more popular than the other two despite being similar quality. GUIs are there to lower the learning curve.

In this era, it's not too hard to make a simple app in a day with AI as well. Cursor goes much faster than Flutterflow or Bubble. The bar is higher too - you now probably need a prototype before a pitch deck. It's probably not scalable, but that's prototyping for you.
I'm not seeing any icons (on ios, tried a few browsers). Is the font (or svgs? Not at a computer to check how it's built) being served?

Bit of a tangent but occasionally I wonder how close we are to people disappearing into cyberspace for 10 hours at a time and thus using a Texas catheter à la Neuromancer. It seems like there are a notable minority of tech people who regard meat and meat space as an annoyance to be dealt with.

How many of you would be happy at this moment to upload yourself to the cloud if it meant low latency, unmitigated access to computers, the internet, LLMs etc?

That really depends on the design at both sides.

Edit: Otherwise, it's a civilized way to do it and nothing to be ashamed of. Men who think it's not manly can go clean their toilet again.
Not sure if that's the cause of the problem here, but this is why having urinals is a good idea and even legally required in some countries.

I couldn't care less about whether the sit-down toilets are mixed or separated by gender, but replacing most/all urinals with gender-neutral sit-down toilets yields results that suck for everyone involved.

Why is spending all that CPU time to scrape the handful of sites that use Anubis worth it to them?
Interesting. After this comment I mentioned it to a family member who is in natural medicine and diet (no fan of preservatives themselves) and they were surprised that I could taste it. So Maybe there is a genetic component. I mean it's more like an aftertaste than a taste but it's obvious to me. Like if you eat pancakes with too much baking soda in them, it leaves a kind of numbing effect and slight bitterness on the tongue... Or maybe that's genetic too haha.
Anyone who can not see the obvious difference in substance, intent, scope, and scale is either willfully ignorant or seriously lacking in reading comprehension and reasoning skills.

Requesting curbs on rampant disinformation is not even close to the same thing as crashing the economy to extort our closest allies and major business and industry players.

Yikes
Since Anubis is related to AI, the part below read as contradictory at first. As if too many donations would cause the creator to disappear off to Tahiti along with the product development.

It’s not like Caddyshack. At least not this one. There’s golf, tennis, pools, a restaurant, bars, etc. It’s the kind of place where you will see PGA Tour guys hanging around and a few other high profile people. A lot of people are driving cars that cost more than my house. Everyone is pretty chill, but it’s top 1% kind of people in their natural habitat. It’s like a little bubble detached from reality.

Note that this blog post (and the associated video) were a quick off-the-cuff thing while I was on the NAB show floor—I have been talking to a few of those involved in the testing at NIST, Sinclair, and Avateq (among others), and will hopefully have a lot more in a follow-up.

Right now it's in the experimental stage, with only 6 towers total deployed (only 5 were operational during NAB, and only one in Nevada... so timing, not navigation yet).

The ultimate plan—which is probably dependent on how well ATSC 3.0 rolls out (which has plenty of hurdles[1])—is to encourage broadcasters to add on the necessary timing equipment to their transmitter sites, to build a mesh network for timing.

That would allow the system to be 100% independent of GPS (time transfer could be done via dark fiber and/or ground-satellite-ground directly to some 'master' sites).

The advantages for BPS are coverage (somewhat) inside buildings, the ability to have line of sight nearly everywhere in populated areas, and resilience to jamming you can't get with GPS (a 100 kW transmitter signal 10 miles away is a lot harder to defeat than a weak GPS signal hundreds of miles away in the sky).

The demo on the show floor was also using eLoran to distribute time from a site in Nevada to the transmitter facility on Black Mountain outside Vegas, showing a way to be fully GPS-independent (though the current eLoran timing was sourced from GPS).

[1] ATSC 3.0, as it is being rolled out in the US, doesn't even add on 4K (just 1080p HDR), and tacks on 'features' like 'show replay' (where you tap a button and an app can stream a show you're watching on OTA TV through the Internet... amazing! /s), DRM (at stations' discretion, ugh), and 'personalized ad injection' (no doubt requiring you to connect your TV to the Internet so advertisers can get your precise location too...). Because ATSC 3.0 requires new hardware, consumers have to be motivated to buy new TVs or converter boxes—I don't see anything that motivates me to do so. I feel like it may be a lot like the (forever ongoing) HD Radio rollout.
That's what route-specific Anubis is for.

There is a "Daily Urine Splash Estimation in the US" section in their paper (I can't believe I looked this up). There equation basically makes these assumptions:

1. 56 million non-residential urinals in the US.

2. average of .22 L per "void" (a void is one pee session)

3. I think how they estimated average usage per urinal was weird and frankly wrong - they estimated each person would have between 3 and 6 "voids" per day, and each urinal would be used by between 1 and 2 people per day. Anyway, in any case that leads to an estimate of each urinal being used between 3 and 12 times per day. I think this estimate is way, way too high, because at the low end 3 X 56 million = 168 million, so on the low end they are estimating that, on average, every male in the US makes at least one public urinal pee (and, on the high end, 4 public urinal pees!)

4. Based on their data they calculate a value of ~1% (0.965%) of pee gets splashed onto the floor.

So you multiply that all together: 56 million * .22 * (3 on the low end, 12 on the high end) * .965% = about 350,000L on the low end, or 1,400,000L on the high end, so they said "on the order of a million liters".

Again, I can't believe I spent time looking this up and writing this comment.
I said

>> The objection to your point is that the teachings of Christianity are timeless if true.

To which you said

> "The teachings of Christianity" are, in fact, not consistent across time or across subsets of Christianity at the same time

> Revelation may not change, but the actual concrete beliefs of the Catholic Church manifestly do.

The teaching of the Catholic Church just is revelation. Individual Catholics or churchmen may believe all kinds of things, some contrary to revelation and/or each other, but that's something distinct. What has manifestly changed?
Do they really use 90% less water cleaning the floors of women's restrooms than men's currently? Cause that's one implication of the 'new design will save cleaning' claim. Places with public restrooms that I'm familiar with seem to get their floors mopped with identical frequency (and similar apparent rigor) regardless of whether they have urinals or not.
These companies could choose to invest in the US instead and not have to worry about any of this.

Tariffs are only usable as extortion if the companies have outsourced the manufacturing that gutted our middle-class.

Externalizing variables comes with risk. This risk should be factored into planning in the future. Just because a politician in the 90s promised cheap labor through globalization, a president 30 years later can flip the script
I’ve been wondering to myself for many years now whether the web is for humans or machines. I personally can’t think of a good reason to specifically try to gate bots when it comes to serving content. Trying to post content or trigger actions could obviously be problematic under many circumstances.

But I find that when it comes to simple serving of content, human vs. bot is not usually what you’re trying to filter or block on. As long as a given client is not abusing your systems, then why do you care if the client is a human?

TPU's are vertically integrated.

If I was an investor and Google said they are going to now compete with Nvidia and TSMC I would take that as a sign they the leadership has completely lost the ability to see what their core competency is. Investing 100-200+ billion into fabs just to be on an equal playing field, is not it.

Would be a poor allocation of capital. Especially since, as they build up capacity for their own jobs, they get to see the excess to customers.
Hi again. I have the same issue in my browser, and locally in nvim.

NerdFonts (and the right terminal emulator) were needed, and enough, there. Playing with AstroNvim, and blocked by use of yakuake.

Hoping that I can hot load something from https://www.nerdfonts.com/font-downloads, I'm not sure what from https://fonts.google.com/ has the needed ligatures or symbols.
I’ve seen one that said “one step forward for man, a giant leap for mankind”. Pretty amusing.
Yes but the scraper only has to solve it once and it gets cached too right? Surely it gets cached, otherwise it would be too annoying for humans on phones too? I guess it depends on whether scrapers are just simple curl clients or full headless browsers but I seriously doubt that Google tier LLM scrapers rely on site content loading statically without js.
Sure and whoever planned and implemented all of this in a cludgy blocking way is innocent angel in this scenario.

case in point, AWS homepage is miles ahead any smart tv menu and I doubt they write it in rust.

Does he prefer fighting libtool, make, cmake, configure, automake, autoconf and autoreconf just to add a couple libraries into his project? When I tried to use C, I wrote 10 lines of code and spent hours trying to make all that shit work. It makes me laugh when people say Rust is complicated.
Cloudflare is too stupid to realize that carrier grade NATs exist a lot in Germany. So there's that, sharing an IP with literally 20000 people around me doesn't make me suspicious when it's them that trigger that behavior.

Your assumption is that anyone at cloudflare cares. But guess what, it's a self fulfilling prophecy of a bot being blocked, because not a single process in the UX/UI allows any real user to complain about it, and therefore all blocked humans must also be bots.

Just pointing out the flaw of bot blocking in general, because you seem to be absolutely unaware of it. Success rate of bot blocking is always 100%, and never less, because that would imply actually realizing that your tech does nothing, really.

Statistically, the ones really using bots can bypass it easily.
I think the "Cornucopia" model is a great example of "blind" design that works a lot better in theory/fluid dynamics simulations than it would in actual usage. I would expect a significant percentage of users to find the "hole" design... uninviting, and as a result stand way farther back than the simulation assumed. (Exhibit 1: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43669248)

The best way to validate such findings would likely be 3D-printing single use versions of different urinals, mounting them at the student pub for one Friday evening, and monitoring usage amounts + the amount of urine on the floor mats (compared with a regular urinal next to it to account for different inebriation levels). This also avoids identifying models that men prefer/avoid if given the choice.

(Also a great way to advertise that "90% of patrons preferred the new urinals" because you'll get that effect from the novelty value alone).
