>They didn't actually "trust" us before. I'm not sure how you'd measure that anyways. From my reading of foreign news they're mostly taking it in stride, having seen this coming since last year, and not being particularly surprised by it. This zeitgeist only exists in half of America right now.

It's hard for me to overstate how wrong this is. In my country Denmark, everyone, everywhere is talking about this and people are generally worried. I hear it in the supermarkets.
We absolutely did trust the US until now. For instance, the entire Danish public sector runs on Microsoft. Nobody ever considered that to be an issue. Now there is political talk about how that can be undone. Several of my peers who read HN and considered US-based, YC-backed to be the ultimate way to launch a startup are talking about the liability involved. Mind you, this is not the typical "I hate America!" rhetoric that has always existed to some degree everywhere, this is risk management: "Can I trust that the US is stable enough for me to bet on?"

You may not think it matters because the US is as strong as it is, or maybe you don't care. But the trust and thereby soft power that has been destroyed in these few months is generational.
we do have such protocols. gopher and more recently gemini are the most popular competing standards
It doesn't list the final destination of the trains, which is quite important on lines like the District line.
Partly.

But I suspect it's more that CGI was the way things had always been done. They didn't even consider doing a reverse proxy. They asked the question "how do we make CGI faster" and so ended up with FastCGI.

Other developers asked the same question and ended up making mod_php (and friends), embedding the scripting language directly into the web server.
> If you know there’s lead somewhere in your community, try to get involved and push for programs that limit its removal.

Programs that to have it removed? I think.

Also what would it be like to go through life knowing you had lead disrupting your brain.
I was working part time in copper fabrication and had some potential lead exposure

You can ask your doctor, it was just a blood test

It was free but I’m Australian

This seems like the kind of thing that Grok could one shot creating.
The article doesn't have any evidence of any nefarious activities, and if you've been keeping up at all with Boeing getting people stuck in space and SpaceX bailing them out, it's pretty obvious who's building the superior product. But the article wants to plant the idea in your mind anyway, because orange man bad.
It doesn't. "All the haskell" is your protective decoy against "it's not that useful when you're not chained to the wall". Show me a lens with a bunch of other fp tricks and I'll write dumb inline code for it that does that same thing, but without twisting anyones brain or trying to not miss its thin point.
Speaking of MITM proxy, which one do you use?

Currently doing some interesting experiments on a bunch of Legacy Windows VMs. ;-)
Bulidroot is popular and simple alternative. But corporations prefer complexity.
You can request blood lead labs done through your doctor. People who work in industry and competition shooters and such will get that done to track.
Agreed, this is absolutely beautiful.

The detailing of things like how trains "overlap" each other is incredible
Could you send me some links for the irreversible damage that micro plastics cause in the brain.
In all fairness, we use proxies without realizing it.
Why repeat a common joke as if it were a historical event?

Before PHP it was common in the Perl world.
I hope Orbstack is also advertising those hostnames on mDNS, because using .local (or, seemingly worse, _relying_ on .local) will conflict with resolver logic on all kinds of devices.
There is a similar real time map for Berlin VBB network. It shows the realtime locations of S-Bahns, U-Bahns, Buses, ferries etc. Pretty cool and handy.

Cost is just one part of the equation. What about the ability to quickly switch the supplier of a part, to make a small design change, to ramp up the production of the next model, etc? Lots of articles suggest that you can start manufacturing and adapt much faster in China than in the US.

Also, there is nothing in the article that talks about the quality of the phone. Being manufactured in the US does not automatically make it a high quality product. I'd take an iPhone manufactured anywhere in the world than this Liberty phone.
There are variants (without the trademarked? names) - 'Uguale', is a nice cheese, without the geo-protected price tag.
I wish browser embedded something like PicoCSS so that you when you would ship a pure html website where you don't care about the styling, you'd let the browser figure out styles based on the semantics. You choose from a variety of themes and tweak them.

I have checked the websites on CSS naked day. Default styles were ok but not great.
This sounds like the start of a science fiction story where you find yourself transported to a parallel world...
Is anyone using the Gemini protocol (not Google's Gemini)
I'm curious if anyone is actively using it, and want to know more about use cases and advantage. Thank you.
This is frankly very cool and hypnotising to look at. I'd love to see more real-life data maps; anything else like this for London?

Imagine layering this, 3D buildings, live weather, street lighting, traffic, and even live business data from Google visualised as crowds on the streets. I could stare at that for hours.
There are also other modes/roles of FastCGI: Authorizer and Filter which may be interesting: https://fastcgi-archives.github.io/FastCGI_Specification.htm...

Not sure I've ever seen Filter in real life.
I'm really enjoying Mastodon. I have not encountered any of the censorial tone that the author complains of - not only has no-one criticised any of my posts, but I haven't seen this on anyone else's posts either. It feels like early usenet rather than early Twitter, for sure. But that's a feature. I am uninterested in a "critical mass" of people, because that has always become a shitshow. I follow people who post interesting things, and I don't care if I don't see everything they post. It works for me, I'm glad it exists. I hope it doesn't get more popular.
I don't think it's fair to blame Tim Berners Lee for this. The WWW was supposed to serve documents. The TITLE would have been rendered by your browser, and in fact, it still kind of is, in the window title bar.

The Web has long departed from that vision however; very few pages, if any, could still be considered documents.
Was this big one recently that took out the Zip cards?
A teacher once told us, "Everything has been done before - but not by you". Tell 50 people to make their own version of any story, and you'll get 50 new stories (though yeah, a bit of originality is great).

Also, artists need time to develop. Sturgeon's law isn't just for artists you know. Every artist knows that you generally have to create a lot of crap to get good. So when people give out about crap art, they're really just telling on themselves: "I don't create".

Finally, for fun, try comparing fossil fuel subsidies to artist subsidies some time. "But we need fossil fuel" - try going a week without any art; no music, no movies, no games.
There are test kits for at-home usecases like paint and stuff - I think they're pretty reliable. For exposure, you can get blood tests at your GP. They might be absurdly expensive if you're in America, but maybe next time you travel to Europe you can pay privately and get a better deal.
Why do we have php, .net, Django?

Why react, angular, whatever else is front end?

Why different clouds and similar services?

Leader, front runner, early adopter and not invented here mindset allows competition and community to rally around what will become the next big thing
Competition shooters? They're not likely to touch lead, unless they fatally disobey shooting range safety rules.

Now the people manufacturing the bullets for those competition shooters... they need lead tests.
Exactly! They're the best until you try pecorino romano. Unless it's strictly a matter of taste, but IMHO a lot better than parmigiano reggiano
The writer David Malcolm tells a story in his article about compiling C17 code and pretending it's C23. Duh, no wonder it breaks!

You C standard authors have it bass-ackwards. The version of the code must accompany the code, not the compiler invocation.
Yeah that sometimes happens as LLM model didn't like the generated JSON format for some reason.
Thanks for sharing your valuable insight.
I agree, it's an implementation detail. What you sell is a solution, and your mode is generally your brand, your existing user base, and any anti competitive shenanigans you manage to get away with. Not so much even the actual quality of the product, it's more important what people _think_ it's quality is.
The problem is that merely insulting someone can be a crime at all so he not just being idiotic. Those complaints lead to investigations:

Don't remind me lol, even worse when it's a fresh VM but the software is still ancient.
I (the user of the FastCGI library) don’t parse anything. I use the library. Whether it does HTTP or some custom protocol is irrelevant to my coding task. Might be relevant for performance, but who’s building anything big enough to worry about that? ;-)
Not merely my opinion, rather my interpretation of the results in the article.

This is an opinion: everyone who tries to squeeze more out of their knowledge workers is a moron and/or malevolent and should be demoted or fired.
HN has a bit less stupid people than other sites.
Engineers in the US would be able to get five iterations done using US fabs and assembly too, it’d just cost a ton more to get the same lead times and pay for the NRE.

Last time I worked on something of this complexity in 2019, 1 week turn around prototypes would cost $2-5k for the assembled PCBs from China but $30-50k in the US. It also took a bit more effort and inventory to make sure all the parts were stocked or shipped on time, which is a problem when you can’t visit Shenzhen’s malls if you’re missing a part. Once the first iteration was done, we were averaging between one and two months per revision. It’s very doable but nobody except medical, defense, and aerospace are willing to pay the price.
Will that even matter though?

There's a while before another election and longer while before the person imposing tariffs would expectedly leave.
Yes, that's exactly the wrong perspective to take. The right one is that you shouldn't try to squeeze the last bits from a lemon. The only get is bitterness.
There's this board game we played as kids - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scotland_Yard_(board_game) where you move around the London public transport system chasing Mr. X (everyone always wanted to play Mr. X) - it was really funny
Doesn't some of the lead end up in the air?
Just add a matter of precision, personal attacks won't generally improve the world on the overwhole aftermaths. But they do generally change the world into a less pleasant place to live in.
It is better, has underground, overground and is womble free. Also has planes and current weather effect (raining).
This is not appropriate language to use on HN and I'm not your "bro".
I had a scrap industrial stack light set up in my office to indicate my busy/not-busy state. I never clicked it to red when someone was approaching, but in hindsight, it was still a bit obnoxious tbh.
This is doctrine.

The same way you make sure your planes fly, your code is updated, and you improve your product - you pay attention to your regulators.

The SEC was defanged for years. The pendulum swung to low regulation, and lower taxes, leading to greater wealth concentration via asset purchases.

These are all rectifiable. At all levels. It just not going to happen if we are listening to zero information news sources and disengage with everything but rage.
Actually blacks? No, not particularly offensive, why?
You can buy a Lead Test Kit and check it yourself https://www.epa.gov/lead/lead-test-kits
It’s not obvious, but practice enough at indoor ranges or reload your own competition ammo long enough. I have heard firsthand accounts from shooters who at some point weren’t feeling well, got tested, and found out they needed to be a lot more careful with their lead exposure.
Definitely excited to explore how it simplifies complex workflows—turning K8s components into “legos” is a neat concept
Aren't 3rd party cookies blocked by default in Chrome? Obviously not.
A small amount of lead makes its way out of the chamber in the form of dust and fumes after shooting. It’s quite easy to breath this in or get it on your hands and accidentally ingest it. Not enough to matter for someone who occasionally goes to the range, but significant for those shooting nearly daily, especially if shooting indoors.
I still play that game! Fairly popular in France, but nobody seems to know it in England weirdly enough. The newer board is a bit less readable than the 90's version. I also play it on my phone, although the AI isn't that good.
A lot of primers have lead, and the dust ends up in the air.
Trains in opposite directions overlap, which makes it very hard to see what's going on.

Also, trains disappear when they stop. Which is - uh - strange.

It's more pretty than practical. Trains marked with dots, arrows, or boxes would be far easier to read.
Man, exactly. I left Instagram, because they started to block my account, because I had a link to my Mastodon account in my profile. And then, coming to Mastodon, I'm getting exactly the same. But now not for commercial, but purely personal reasons. With this approach it doesn't matter if it's a federated, open-sourced or not. If it's not welcoming, then no reason even getting in there.
^This. People act so helpless to big tech, and especially Windows. Linux is still more effort for normies, but it should not be an issue for most people on this sub to want learn it-you are doing things already on Windows that would not be much different than Linux. AI w/ Nividia alone justifies Linux because Windows has performance issues. Then you have the freedom of leaving Windows if it continues to get hostile.
Guitar modeling companies are recreating rare vintage sounds for the digital age
No, this is the following set of steps:

1. Person A interviews at company B

2. Company B says "we'd like to hire you at $X/year"

3. Person A says "that sounds good, I'll start in a month." Company B stops trying to fill the job.

4. Up to a month passes.

5. Person A tells company B "lol nevermind" and doesn't actually start work. Normally this is because company C is offering to pay $Y and $Y >> $X.

It's an employee issue because the employee is not following through on what they said they'd do. Because employment is at-will in the US they're legally in the clear, but the company that was planning on hiring them is still kind of screwed.
idk why it has been flagged..anyways, the mobile display is now fixed ;)
Oh haha, just seen the reply below mine that has a link to the photos of the printout...

Interestingly, the large F3 appears to be a batch number for the print job, so it's just coincidental that it's the same as the first byte in the ROM. The first byte starts on line 732 and printed in octal not hex, so "000363" (the first byte of the output seems to be some kind of markup for addresses in multi-byte opcodes (immediate loads seem to have 000 for these).
Well, I meant it in the sense of: You use a tool because you think it's creators really know this space and you can rely on it. To stick to the DropBox example, their users probably trust them to keep file management convenient for them and to keep their files safe.

I've seen a depressing amount of people treat LLMs like some sort of oracle. So I can picture a significant number of consumers just trusting ChatGPT with their taxes or whatever, based on the assumption that it know any domain at least as good as human experts.

I'm not saying _I_ find any LLM trustworthy. But if enough people do, it becomes difficult to differentiate there.
I use ChatGPT for most practical stuff but I really enjoy running local models. I find it really interesting and I think it's important for people to know how to run these without being beholden to big tech. If you have a used 3090 you can already run some really strong models. There are some really interesting local models as well, like the abliterated ones.
This is such a well-written response. There's something intentionally soothing about this post that slowly turns into a jarring form of self-congratulation as it goes along. Congratulations for knowing there's a limit to wrecking your parents' property. Congratulations for being able to appreciate the sand on the beach, in some no doubt instagrammable moment of existential simplicity. Congratulations for being so smart that you could have blown up your hand. And for "Leetcoding", whatever the fuck that means. And for claiming you quit a shady job because you got bored (but possibly also grew a conscience). And then topped off by the final turn: "This is, of course, about artificial intelligence development". I'd only add one thing to your analysis: We've got a demo right here of a psyche that would prefer love to money (but mostly both), and it's still determined to foist bad things onto the world in a load-bearing way, as a bid for either, or whatever it can get. My parents used to call that "a kid that doesn't care if he gets good or bad attention, as long as he gets attention." I think that's the root driver for almost all the tech billionaires of the past 20 years, and the one thing that unites Bezos, Zuck, Jobs, Dorsey, Musk... it's: "Look dad, I didn't just take your money. I'm so smart I could'a blown off my hand with all those fireworks you bought me, but see? Two hands! Look how much money I made from your money! Why aren't you proud of me?! Where can I find love? Maybe if I tell people what a leetcoder I am and how I could be making BAD AI but I'm just making GOOD AI, then everyone will love me."

Don't get me wrong, I'm not immune to these feelings either. I want to do good work and I want people to love what I do. But there's something so... so fucking nakedly exhibitionist and narcissistic about these kinds of posts. Like, so, GO FUCKING LAY WITH CLAMS, write a novel, the world is waiting for it if you're really a genius. Have the courage to say you have a conscience if you actually do. Leave the rest of us alone and stop polluting a world you don't understand with your childish greed and self-obsession.
I couldn’t click on your link in the HN app.

Also, it’s really cool to see them focusing on concurrency and parallelism. I hope some of that inspirations upstreams to Ruby (syntax wise, maybe not semantically).

One thing I really wish they implemented is making it possible for building standalone binaries that can be run cross-platform, or at least cross-compilation. That would be really cool, I would contribute to that issue if I had knowledge!
Amusingly enough, what the GP stated was true in 1910, but now the US is far more like pre-WW1 Europe in terms of distribution of wealth (c.f. Piketty's capital in the 21st century).
you should never trust browsers default behavior

1. not all browsers are the same

2. there is no official standard

3. even if there was, standards are often ignored

4. what is true today can be false tomorrow

5. this is mitigation, not security
Okay slight correction: |lying to shareholders is okay until they start losing money. Then it's worse than admitting fault.
Your question prompted me to look up “cost of goods sold”.

From https://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/cogs.asp

> Cost of goods sold (COGS) refers to the direct costs of producing the goods sold by a company. This amount includes the cost of the materials and labor directly used to create the good. It excludes indirect expenses, such as distribution costs and sales force costs.

So the $550 or $650 COGS includes the cost of labor for manufacturing, but excludes (say) marketing and auditing costs.

Show HN: I built a FREE tool to launch your startup's waitlist in minutes
Hello,

I made free app to launch waitlist in minutes. THIS APP IS FREE

App is called waitlo and its very simple

1. Create an account
2. Create waitlist in dashboard
3. Either:
- Copy and paste our pre-made component and start getting signups
- Build your own form and connect directly to our API using your api_key
I think the journalist think the people who solder components in a assembly line are Engineers.
This is a great article on the biology of lead exposure.

Unfortunately on the exposure side research wasn’t done and it propagates the myth that lead exposure is only an issue for those with lead pipes or lead paint. It’s true that these are the main sources of severe lead exposure. However the article points out that there is no safe level of exposure to lead and these aren’t the main ways we are exposed to lead in the US anymore.

Today we are mostly exposed by low level contamination and thankfully this usually results in only mildly elevated lead levels. In a toddler sticking things in the mouth this could be almost any object. For adults it is food and drinks and the objects we use to make them.

I know this because my toddler had elevated lead levels even though our neighborhood never had lead paint and our water does not have lead (I tested the water coming out of our faucets).

The US has few laws against lead contamination and they aren’t very stringent and there is little proactive enforcement. This non profit has ended up creating several recalls after reporting their own testing: https://tamararubin.com/category/recall/
Most of the recalls were products marketed for children such as baby bottles. But if a child eats off an adult plate there aren’t any laws against that being contaminated.

Some actions you can take are:

* test children’s lead levels and your own
* make sure toddlers aren't playing with old toys (pre 1978 really risky, after 2010 is best)
* stop buying things that have a prop 65 warning (I know prop 65 isn’t perfect, but it’s often a lead warning).
* Remove risky objects like the above from your children’s classrooms.
* For cooking and food and drinks use clear glass, stainless steel, and cast iron
* avoid processed foods. There are a lot of particulars here about what is most likely to be high in lead. Chocolate, spices, salt, and cassava products are particularly high in heavy metals.
I have been commandeering .home for the boxes on my LAN since forever. Why change it?

If I were going to do a bunch of extra work messing with configs I'd be far more inclined to switch all my personal stuff over to GNS for security and privacy reasons.
