S&P gets you dividends though, so the interpretation of that chart is tricky. Holding the S&P, you can still do better than holding gold, even when the GOLD/S&P ratio is positive.

This is a neat brute-force search system - it uses goroutines, one for each of the 1,200 books in the corpus, and has each one do a regex search against the in-memory text for that book.

Here's a neat trick I picked up from the source code:

    indices := fdr.rgx.FindAllStringSubmatchIndex(text, -1)

    for _, pair := range indices {
        start := pair[0]
        end := pair[1]
        leftStart := max(0, start-CONTEXT_LENGTH)
        rightEnd := min(end+CONTEXT_LENGTH, len(text))

        // TODO: this doesn't work with Unicode
        if start > 0 && isLetter(text[start-1]) {
            continue
        }

        if end < len(text) && isLetter(text[end]) {
            continue
        }
An earlier comment explains this:

    // The '\b' word boundary regex pattern is very slow. So we don't use it here and
    // instead filter for word boundaries inside `findConcordance`.
    // TODO: case-insensitive matching - (?i) flag (but it's slow)
    pattern := regexp.QuoteMeta(keyword)
So instead of `\bWORD\b` it does the simplest possible match and then checks to see if the character one index before the match and or one index after the matches are also letters. If they are it skips the match.

This is really cool but please don't attribute this to the success or failure of any politician. The CA droughts come and go through by multi-decade natural cycles, and have no more to do with current politics than Trump did with the recent electromagnetic storms

Pretty much because the other major telcos tried to run their own rcs services and did so terribly

I think you're missing the criticism, which is not just that an armed civil war is extremely unlikely even given everything happening in the US, if it did happen, it would not splinter the US regionally.

The divide here is urban vs rural. There's no way to turn that into a set of successor regions.

If armed conflict does happen, it'll be much more amorphous, terrifying, and random, concentrated in the cities, and resemble things like the Tulsa massacre at a larger scale.


I think vim's greatest problem is discoverability. It's a big enough problem that after six or so months working full time in neovim I went back to a GUI editor. I just about barely remember the most common commands, but I do not remember anything I only need occasionally. I also know myself well enough to know I will never remember this sort of thing well. I have a terrible memory for procedural / administrative / ritualistic knowledge.

I'm on Sublime right now. I like it less than vim, but it's far less cryptic. If I need to tile four documents and move text around, I can do so trivially by dragging, without needing a PhD in vim esoterica that I would immediately forget the next day.

If VS Code stopped with the Copilot onslaught, I'd just use that, honestly.


does that include the chance for a stock split?

Ah, that's an interesting idea! I had never considered using partitions. I might write a followup post with these new ideas.

My biggest software issue with my GWM relates to how they gamed the DPF, which is a local requirement. They built in the required automaticaly regenerating DPF, but also set the temperature/rev requirement so that it never automatically regenerates (even if it indicates it is doing so). So I have to manually regenerate every other month.

Otherwise the software is pretty good, with the occasional midflight reboot.Its definitely no worse than the honda I ran previously.


I think my warning would be that prioritizing tasks you know you can do and do well may be satisfying, but may limit growth. I identify with the author's POV quite a bit, but sometimes I find that when I take a step back and put in less effort on the day-to-day tasks, the feedback on my performance goes _up_.

Perhaps it's because completing those tasks elicits a dependency on you, and stepping back from them allows others to step up and fill that gap. In the meantime, you might not _think_ you're doing more impactful work, but perhaps the mental cycles stepping back from those tasks frees you up to think about more important / higher value work.


The goalposts moved when ICE's hiring standards fell to "any individual at all".

Trump said the government will take 25% of sales [1] which I think makes it OK.

A Personal Note:

Today marks 277 days since launching the Chinese version. 2000 commits. Countless late nights. Many cups of 热干面.

I'm nervous, but also excited.

This platform has helped Chinese users find peace for 276 days.

Today, I hope it can bring the same peace to you.

Thank you for being here.


True, but a tracking pixel is an active attack that leaves a visible trail. This leak is passive surveillance; I can silently graph the sleep cycles of 200 friends without ever interacting with them. Trust shouldn't imply consent for invisible, automated logging.

I thought I had read this story before, and it seems like a similar account was published to this company's blog in 2023 but since taken down: https://web.archive.org/web/20250624191934/https://www.recal...

Still a good read though.


The site design looks a little like it was spit out by an LLM. That is not really an issue in reality but it can turn off certain users. Adding a personal touch can go a long way

Basic facts taught in economics 101 validated. News at 11.

And yet everyone who voted for the pumpkin idiot don’t believe it. They think 2 plus 2 is 30T enough to pay off the debt. Idiots. The lot of them and anyone here who voted for this. I said it. And I’ll say it again. The man is enacting project 2025 and ruining the country and some of you are laughing giddily while it burns.


Liz Pelly's book covers this in depth. It's mostly in Spotify's mood and activity playlists ('Chill Vibes', 'Deep Focus', 'Peaceful Piano'). Spotify realized they could save on royalties by paying producers a flat fee to bang out dozens of tracks under fake artist names. "Ghost artists" with no online presence, no merch, no tours, just millions of streams. Pelly calls it 'leanback listening' - music designed to fill silence rather than be actively chosen. If you mainly listen to specific artists you seek out, you'd never encounter it.

Yeah it can be turned off in stock launcher (at least I did on my Pixel 9 Pro XL).

well, technically 2, my second was "good, now do it better"

It is ok for Germany to detonate nukes on someone who attacked NATO. The approval of the aggressor is not necessary.

That's anecdotal, I was curious if there were (well designed) studies that showed likely correlation between the two.

I have had family members addicted to drugs and/or alcohol and friends that have been addicted to gambling at various times. I've seen similar reactions anecdotally, but that isn't societal or scientific.


More reliable than the average ICE, statistically, I will grant you. Though I think that has more to do with Toyota dominating US auto manufacturing reliability statistics in general, more than particulars of hybrids over ICE. The comparison, however, was to a full ("uncompromised") BEV. A full BEV has much fewer moving parts than ICE or Hybrid. (Especially because good electric motors don't even constitute "moving parts" when compared to an internal combustion engine, thanks to magnets.)

It's 2026, why are people still using custom launchers?

Serious question from a former Nova Prime user.


So is RCS a Google platform, like how iMessage is an Apple platform? It might theoretically be a GSMA standard, but from their marketing page and how it's implemented in reality, it seems like it's the former.

It's a modern stage, it doesn't really matter who is physically there.

The EU aligned countries would be crazy to let the US set these rules for some temporary maintenance of income. They've all tended to social Democrats and socialist governments and have a better lifestyle than the US at half or 1/4 the GDP. That goes away if they let the US set pure power based rules, then 1/2 the GDP really is being half an American and if being a whole American was so great no one would have voted for Trump.


Interesting direction but the 98.8% FPR in Table 1 seems like a dealbreaker. Anyone understand what's going on with the contradictory results between the text and tables?

forbes has lost all credibility in the last few years

Crazy how me and my brother had the same idea 7-8 months ago when claude was hosting their own challenge and we were gonna use Apify or build on top of apify itself something eerily similar to this

Though we wanted to include reddit & twitter as well. Reddit's got a recent database and being able to query it with hourly updates iirc so you can probably query this as well or use that as well

Not sure about twitter but twitter does seem to be the most valauable insight in AI/ML right now (considering that I see tweets of qwen guys or similar AI teams on r/locallama whose link might be even on hackernews haha!)

Personally I don't use twitter and follow HN/reddit as such for that sometimes especially reddit's r/localllama

Also my brother wanted to expand this to something general ie people can search for anything on reddit/twitter or get updates if people reference something iirc about anything not just particularly AI/ML

Anyways coding challenges are great and so good luck!


  the US will somehow fall in a vacuum and everyone else will live happily ever after is laughable.
If enough countries collectively decide to not export to the US, it's game over. See Cuba as an example.

Not everything is a movie with a final battle. Alternatives are found and adopted all the time without violent strife.
