You are being extremely disingenuous. The aim of the FCC is very explicitly to be a bigger hadron-hadron collider than the LHC. The FCC-ee that you mention is presented in all of CERNs papers as an intermediate goal, a use for the gigantic tunnel they'll need for the FCC-hh (the FCC), while the technology for actually doing the most important work is being developed [0].

What's more, much of CERN's own literature on the FCC references fanciful ideas like finding WIMPs, "ruling out many classes of dark matter particles", finding/limiting the search space for axions, or in general, putting boundaries on theories that have no specific basis and no fundamental bounds on their parameters beyond "we havent found them yet, so they can't be this large/small/strongly interacting/etc". Here you'll find at least some claims currently up on CERN's FCC site about probing dark matter [1].

[0] https://fcc.web.cern.ch/overview

> A key recommendation of the 2020 update to the European Strategy for Particle Physics is that Europe, in collaboration with the worldwide particle physics community, should undertake a feasibility study for a next-generation hadron collider. (emp. mine)

> The goal of the FCC is to push the energy and intensity frontiers of particle colliders, with the aim of reaching collision energies of 100 TeV in the search for new physics.

[1] https://fcc.web.cern.ch/physics

> However there is a very broad class of models for which theory motivates dark matter candidates with masses in the range of GeV to few tens of TeV. The FCC would break new ground in the search for dark matter in the form of weakly interacting massive particles, by covering a wide array of potential signals predicted by either production of dark matter, or production of the particles mediating its interactions with ordinary matter. FCC-ee and FCC-hh offer complementary ways to search for dark matter that could consist of lighter particles (i.e. sterile neutrinos) or could be produced in the decays of the Higgs boson.

I guess we're going into the definition of the word "expert".

I don't think the word encompasses "have done it several times before, but has not actually even looked at the state of the art".

If you're a good enough engineer, you can build anything you want. That doesn't make you an expert.

I have built many websites. I'm not a web site building expert. Not even remotely.

This is all fine, but where's the neuroscience? From what I can tell this is a mix of theory, observation, and self-report.
The ease of cheating/creating fakes surely influences how much cheating/fakes are in circulation, and while we can tolerate a little, excessive amounts will be disruptive. So many technologies moved from obscure curiosities to mass adoption just because somebody made them easier/cheaper to use.

If at some point the cheats/fakes will be cheaper and easier than the real thing, you can bet that will be a fundamental shift in how we approach the world.
Not entirely sure what you mean by having to deal with C-API and having a language spec.

We're also not competing with LLMs at all--we use LLMs for said conversion (under strict verification requirements).
Extremely overrated article. It is who don't prepare for the hard times ahead that are the ones who are morally bankrupt. The ones who do are just responsible citizens.

As I said in another comment this leads to many people being disadvantaged.

I do not know where you live, and these laws vary between countries, but in the UK marriage gives you a lot of important legal rights. Not marring disadvantages a lower earning partner (most often a woman who has taken time off a career to look after kids) if the relationship breaks down, it does not give you the same legal rights if one dies with regard to inheritance (no real rights if there is no will, far less right to contest a will, and the loss of a significant inheritance tax exemption even if there is), or being automatically next of kin (I think this has improved in practice), no automatic joint parental responsibility for children, etc.
Due to the python reference I think you mean "compiles into a single binary", not necessarily "static linking".

This binary may be statically linked, or link to system libraries. Quite a few times the only system library being linked is libc though.

But yes, I also hope this gets more prevalent instead of the python approach.

On HandlePlayer return err you would decrement a g.players counter, or something, and in the Game.run just do if !g.hasPlayers() break close(g.scores)

> we'd offer upgrades

That's part of the difference. With a subscription model, you don't need customers to want to buy your upgrades (they're forced to pay for them), you benefit the most from locking them into your ecosystem as best you can. Adobe doesn't want to make existing customers happy, they want to make it difficult for unhappy ones to stop paying every month. At that point, discounts to new customers makes sense, since it traps new people into paying you.

Show HN: Fundhog – A Ko-Fi Alternative for Accepting Crypto Donations
I’m thrilled to share Fundhog, a platform I built to let creators, developers, and nonprofits accept cryptocurrency donations directly. It’s like Ko-fi, but for Web3, supporting Ethereum, Polygon, and other EVM-compatible chains—with no middleman. Every transaction happens straight between the donor and creator.

Why FundHog?

Fiat platforms charge steep fees and limit access. Fundhog uses blockchain for direct, low-fee, transparent donations. Here’s the scoop:
Button Builder: I added a simple tool so creators can design their own donation buttons. Pick size (small/medium/large), border radius, and colors to match your site, then grab the embed code.

No Middleman: Funds go directly from donor to creator. I don’t handle your crypto—Fundhog just connects wallets.

Easy Embedding: The ~1KB embed.js script adds your button to any site (HTML, React, etc.) in minutes.

Multi-Chain: Donors pay via MetaMask or similar on Ethereum, Polygon, and more. Chain detection ensures a smooth flow.

Secure: A lightweight iframe modal keeps transactions safe, with no heavy dependencies.

Use Cases
Open-Source Devs: Fund your GitHub repos with ETH or MATIC tips.

Creators: Accept global crypto without platform cuts, styled your way.

Nonprofits: Raise funds transparently, wallet-to-wallet.

How It Works

Use the button builder to customize your look.

Embed the script—donors click, connect, and send crypto directly.
Everyone tries to roll their own strings in C, and eventually give it up, because the 0-terminated strings are so deeply embedded in the language and the library.

Even D still has a nod to C strings in it, in that string literals like "abc" have a 0 appended to them that is not included in the array length. "abc" can implicitly convert to a char*, which makes it very convenient when calling printf.
Honestly, no. There are times when you want to get low level but, when you do, you need to commit to learning that domain as well as the problem domain you’re being paid to solve. If those are disjoint, well, have fun!

But what even is the business case here? I get the idea of encrypting pay TV, but isn't the entire point of free broadcast TV that it's... free?

It would be a different story if the DRM were available ubiquitously, e.g. in the way that arguably Widevine is for online streaming (but certainly not broadcast TV). Are rightholders that afraid of unauthorized out-of-market rebroadcasts that they'd rather obliterate their reachable market with stunts like that?

Not only information access but the distribution model. In middle school, I had a little side business selling shareware on diskettes. My school had gotten brand spanking new 386/486 machines. My older brother had copied a bunch of games and programs from his friends into a stack of diskettes. I was king and made some good cash. Enough to buy a bike.

Where is AI disruptive? If it is disruptive in some area, should we apply old precedents to a thing so radically new? (rethorical).

Good fresh training data _will end_. The entire world can't feed this machine as fast as it "learns".

To make a farming comparison, it's eating the seeds. Any new content gets devoured before it has a chance to grow and give fruit. Furthermore, people are starting to manipulate the model instead of just creating good content. What exactly will we learn then? No one fucking knows. It's a power grab free for all waiting to happen. Whoever is poor in compute resources will lose (people! the majority of us).

If I am right, we will start seeing anemic LLMs soon. They will get worse with more training, not better. Of course they will still be useful, but not as a liberating learning tool.

Let's hope I am not right.

Should be isn't is. PoA aren't trivially recognized in the way a marriage is. If you have to interact with more than a couple of services you ought to expect friction.

A local medical provider might not be familiar with a PoA but that can be worked out. However, bureaucracies like insurance providers can be staffed with people whose trainings never mentioned PoA but did extensively cover HIPAA compliance (and penalties).

Manufacturing doesn’t have to equate to sweat shops. It’s hard to take your argument seriously when your judgement is undermined by such fallacy.

We have problems with housing affordability because asset values inflate inverse to the devaluation of the dollar. The dollar is deflating because a service economy is not as sustainable as a manufacturing economy. This is particularly pronounced when we all see the labor value of intelligent workers decreasing at a precipitous rate due to AI.

Additionally, while you're talking about budget in a practical manner, spending money on science to discover science isn't something that people outside of science generally love spending money on. I am nearly certain that part of the hope for people spending that kind of money on the LHC is not only might they discover something amazing but that it might also be practically useful to someone else.

There are other scientific fields that produce much more tangible results that the finite funding could go to. Even something like materials science which could not only produce more useful discoveries but could also make the next collider cheaper.
The FCC-ee is an intermediate goal, which will probe similar collisions as the LHC but at higher precisions. It is also a direct successor as the LEP which was housed in the LHC tunnel, so in this sense it is very much about "moar energy" than the previous electron-positron collider that CERN had. They're also hoping against hope that maybe they'll identify some rare collisions and even dark matter at the energy ranges that they couldn't probe before (at the LEP) with such high precision (at the LHC).

Then, when the tech for it is ready, the FCC-ee will be replaced by the FCC-hh, which is the successor of the LHC and can probe energy levels that are completely unaccessible at the moment - at about 5-6 times the energy level of the LHC. This is the true goal of the FCC project, and the biggest reason for building such a huge tunnel in the first place. But this requires significant advancements in magnets and other components which won't be available for several decades. So, they're filling in that time with the FCC-ee.
Congress needs to take the tariff ability away from Trump, this is fucking ridiculous.
Yeah, I agree that such a feature definitely does have its uses.

HOWEVER... that is a feature that you specifically purposely chose and then made active on your machine. That's NOT a feature that your OS pushed on you over and over and all you had to do was not remember to turn it off every month when it re-enabled itself. Because that's how Windows features like this have been implemented for the last several years.

It's strange seeing posts about aphasia on HN every so often. When I was a teen, I suffered a stroke secondary to a TBI that had happened a few days before. As a result, I developed global aphasia and lost my internal monologue. I don't think in words anymore except when I'm either conversing with or thinking about conversing with someone else. To this day, English feels like a second language to me even though it's my native language, and I still have lingering anomic aphasia.

Some days are better than others, and it does affect my ability to code on worse days because I can't remember the names of even common API functions (thank goodness for IDE suggestions!), and if I'm in a lot of meetings in a day, I'm utterly exhausted by the end of the day from the mental effort of trying to tease out meaning from context when there are words in the middle of sentences that have no meaning for me. It's not really something I talk about, so only my husband and my doctor knows about it.

Probably the most annoying part, besides the embarrassment when I can't remember a common word, is the way my brain keeps wanting to file words in the same slot that doesn't work. So I see a word again, know that I used to know what it meant, look it up and for maybe 30 minutes if I'm lucky, I'll remember the word and its definition, but later that day, I'll have forgotten it again.

At least for me, it feels humiliating to forget even common words like "ice" or "screwdriver," and end up saying something unintelligible like, "Could you bring me the thing for the thing so I can do the thing?" along with vague gestures that my husband, to his patient credit, often understands.

In the end, I just have to quietly power through and do the best I can, and I suspect others in the same boat keep quiet about it, too, so I wanted to finally talk about it. To all of you, stay strong, be kind to yourself, and take the time you need to process information.
I can understand that. My ex wife is currently after money from me after years of refusing to work (even when we really needed the money) - and I did more than half the work in looking after our kids too. Just to explain, divorce, child arrangements, and divorce finance are separate cases here.

We do not have tax breaks for being married here in the UK. There is one tiny advantage if one person does not have a taxable income, but is pretty small.

On the other hand I also (as I said in other comments) know women (and it is still almost entirely women) who have not got a fair deal financial because they were not married, but gave up work to look after the kids/be a home maker. That is just as unfair.
I nearly did as well but apparently it's just an article discussing the pros and cons of AI. Seems appropriate to head such an article with an AI picture.
I'm in the same boat. I want my computing tools to feel like a musical instrument: stable and predictable, very capable but requires skill and learning to use well, and serves me instead of drawing attention to itself. Let me get into a flow state and focus on the task at hand. Working in a terminal is that.

If UIs are constantly shifting or if there are popups telling you about a "cool" new feature, then that software feels less interested in serving the user and more serving its developers. I don't want the manic Silicon Valley hype-of-the-month when I have other more important things to do than fight with technology that's supposed to be helping me (and me exclusively).
I am the author of the article. It was there since the beginning, just behind the paywall, which I removed due to the amount of interest the topic was receiving.
Generally you're going to need some sort of layer in order to display something meaningful; even if you count ncurses, the tty stuff is way, way lighter than all the rendering code, componentry, and hierarchical dispatch stuff that goes into a typical GUI toolkit. And it can appear on more devices.

They can be in a relationship (not single) but not married. I know people in relationships for 7+ years who haven’t married. That was far less common the further back you go.
> No one thinks new particles will be discovered.

Blatantly false. Plenty of FCC docs from CERN itself mention the possibility that new particles could be discovered, from dark matter to axions. They even think they could help gather data to guide searches for supersymmetric partners.

[edited to add links and quotes]

https://fcc-cdr.web.cern.ch/reports/EPPSU18_FCCint.pdf

> In addition to the dark matter examples given before, Volume 1 documents the extraordinary sensitivity to less-than-weakly coupled particles, ranging from heavy sterile neutrinos (see Fig. 5, right) down to the see-saw limit in a part of parameter space favourable for generating the baryon asymmetry of the Universe, to axions and dark photons.

https://fcc.web.cern.ch/physics

> Future searches at lepton and proton colliders would further constrain any viable scenarios and put progressively tighter bounds to SUSY candidate particles. Searches could profit from data collected at the FCCs as they will allow better discrimination of the Standard Model backgrounds but also deliver more information for event reconstruction.
