Why data is not enough. That is a pretty good argument for HN-style moderation. Shadow banning rants would be nice.
My Strugle by Karl Ove Knausgård is called Min kamp in the original. It is perhaps not worth top 3 but is is good in its original language. Perhaps just replace it.. :-)

It is easier to verify that there are no problems on Apple hardware. Windows and Linux run the same for me, you need good hardware to run well. Usabiltity and taste is a different question.

This is a good question but not an invalidation of the study. People underestimate the cost of doing large scale surveys, first year researchers become painfully aware of it. There are lots of research were you try to get a quantitative result cheap. But most costs a lot of money (the big studies are usually very well spent money imho)
Example: five years, 10000 participants, $170 million https://www.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/nih-awards-170...

Aid is a hard problem that is true but the world is a worse place after USAid got raised by Trump. Aid should probably be atleast 100x the current rate, it should not be called aid either.

There is an upload GPX track function on the website. You then draw your paths with the online editor, above those tracks. Edit: you do this because GPS is not clean enough and you need to choose which paths connects where.
You will often forget the details if your GPX are old. E.g. was it really possible to use a bicycle on that path, did those two actually connect or was it me running 150m through the Forrest as a short cut.
So it takes work to get right.

If one has a TigerBeetle cluster with high inter node latency, are there any easy wins to lower the latency of the whole cluster left? My head hurts when I think of latency in large clusters, so your work this year with latency was inspiring.
EDIT: I guess part of the question is about the problems with clusters with >130ms latency and if there are challenges you consider easy.

As I said you need to be specific, I am sorry for derailing the discussion. What part of AI is the problem?
I honestly think it will be impossible to block the use of AI in weapons because you can not know where to draw the line.

You have to be specific. You only have vague comments about your own thoughts. We had this discussion with Tomahawks in the ninetees, it is not an easy one. This is like answering how long is a string.
IMHO This feels like a troll, OP have several comments about evil Ukrainian AI drones. I feel it is hard to have a naunced discussion if you only diss one part.
Your question is asking for easy technical opinions about a subject where you seem to have no technical knowledge.

For me this is the dream ebike infrastructure that allows the large variance in speed you get with bikes. So allowing for ebikes that can go 30mph and 15mph, those are the speeds you want in an urban environment. The problem is making it secure and also feel secure.

Linux desktop has always worked, and was better for me. There will always be stuff you can't have on one OS that works on another, this has been true since before Linux. The question here is of what we are given be iOS and Google Play Services is enough, for many of us it is not.
I daily drive SailfishOS on Jolla to see if it can be enough.
Re:Critical CVE issued for hallucinated SQLite vulnerability
on Wednesday August 05, 2026 @09:24AM (#49182557)
The point is you can not trust that people patch stuff like this in time. So practically you have to make it really hard, in a CTF of course it is easy. Defense is in depth. There are architectural issues, e.g. we only allow one upload per instance., and sanitation is done away from initial upload handling and processing. I would say that even local root is not that bad if you play your cards correctly. (What ever root mean nowdays with CAP dropping etc)
Enterprise security can be good if people are paranoid when they build the infra, but as is highlighted in this thread many patch requirements are stupid.

You do not run it as root, all you get is the possibility to crash or execute code. Nodes that handle such things are all heavily locked down.

The GUI was fast because it was fixed layout, MUI on the Amiga was slow as well. We tend to go that way to get UI that is easy to create. You see the same in all GUI libraries the more CPU you have the more you use it.

I looked at your goals and Load is clearly out of scope. I think the question here is could you load your AOT compiled and executable code like we do with Lua scripts only give the compiled code access to a safe Lua env. i.e. Not giving it access to all symbols.
