Kids murdering people at school doesn't tend to change US policies...

I think most ways of obtaining carbon neutrality are a little bit BS, that's why.

An alternative is what Google is theoretically aiming for: being carbon-free. But they've already started using language describing it as a moonshot or idealistic goal so seems likely they'll abandon that

I can tell this is at least partially vibe coded... Out of curiosity, how much did you use AI for this?

If you want to get fired / sued for leaking internal info, you should at least aim for 1 million (https://www.cnbc.com/2026/05/27/google-employee-polymarket-i...)

I thought this was old news? I remember people making videos about using information theory to solve Wordle back when it was particularly hyped. (After writing this I checked, there's even a 3 blue 1 brown video on this)

My favourite along those lines was solving wordle in 1 guess using the distribution of coloured squares on social media https://www.kaggle.com/code/benhamner/wordle-1-6

Counter point: Government inaction and easily cause deaths at a similar scale, and some types of things only really work with large scale collective action

I want to see one a diagram which includes the oceans too

We used to call them social networking sites, now they're social media sites.

But I think the problem is that people don't contribute very much too them, so if none of your friends are sharing things that interest you then the media part has to come in as a fallback

I think they're still there, but deeply hidden in their menus

You are underestimating HN's reach, this happens all the time. As someone who has been on the front page of HN it's a pretty big rush in traffic!

FYI, those 8% of males / 0.5% females stats are not about complete colorblindness, so almost all of those people use color in their life

I have been in a locust plague once. It does feel very weird. Yes they are grasshoppers but you might be underestimating just how many there are. Plus they don't look normal, they actually change appearance when they're in a plague.

One small detail I remember was when the sun was just behind a building, you could see this glow around the building which was the sun reflecting off all the locusts that were flying around it

It's internal to my company, unfortunately! Otherwise I would've mentioned it

There's another way to find out, which is to track things from the other side. Highly likely Google has access logs on the data.

It's possible he had multiple accounts but seems unlikely, one reason he was caught was because he made a whole bunch of trades on markets related to "year in search", all on one account, and all the trades were perfect. If he was thinking about creating new accounts to obscure himself then he should have at least made each bet he placed on a seperate account.

People (particularly those committing crimes) do frequently overlook things in inconsistent ways, so it's possible. But seems unlikely to me.

You can definitely get stuck in a weird place with git that I haven't run into in the same extent with jj. The ability to undo anything with the one 'jj undo' command is awesome in the agent coding world when it makes a mistake.

If you do want to solve this, here's two thoughts on how you can deal with it. First: don't try to edit jj changes. Always work on a new change and then squash that in to the parent. You think of that top level change as your working space.

From there, the simplest way is to just always use 'jj commit -i' and 'jj squash -i' to create change ids with your work. Then if you want to have your changes move around with you, just rebase your working copy which contains your "uncommitted files" to the new branch.

A different idea is to put those changes in a separate change, and then when you do work, always create your working space change as a merge change like 'jj new <uncommitted file change id> <main change id>. Then you should be able to do 'jj absorb' instead of 'jj squash' to put changes into the right change. Switching to a different branch is 'jj new <uncommitted file change id> <other change id>.

As in typing this, I'm thinking for myself and what I actually do in practice... I find moving / rebasing jj commits very easy (I have a UI tool that literally lets you drag and drop them) so I usually just commit these changes and then drag the commits around so it's not in the chain of when I want to send it out for review

You have to do a lot when you get a green card to prove you won't be a burden on the US tax payer. It's a big part of the system and a big part of the anti-immigrant rhetoric

Wow. As someone who just went through this process myself (leaving the US to get a green card via consular processing), I can only hope they hire more people to handle the increased case load. You need a medical exam and there were only 2 people available in my country to do that, which added 2 months to my application time (where I could not return to the US)

Sort of amazing that it caused the shift the other way - the internet became centralised, but television (video content) became decentralized

Amazing that the point of this article is that 35MB is small and everything else is bloated

It's not terrible. It's just worse in some areas. Which is of course a worthwhile trade-off for many people. Just... Some people don't really care about the privacy part

FWIW I totally understand the reasons for e2ee and think it's good that options exist for that. Just saying that if you're a user that doesn't care about that, then there are usability trade-offs you're dealing with

Main thing that comes to mind is things like this:

- If you lose you phone you lose your messages

- If you forget your password you lose your messages

- If you switch phone you often lose messages

- If you get added to a group you can't see the previous messages

People here like it, but end-to-end encryption is an objectively worse user experience for people that don't care about that feature

I have the originals of both, the screen is much better on the switch 2. Don't have any other similar devices or the OLED version.

In the Switch 2 Welcome Tour app they even have demos to highlight the improvement in the screen quality compared to the switch

For me personally this is one of my all time favourite games. It has a lot of charm and humour.

It looks like it's a zelda-like game, but because combat is deterministic rather than skill-based, it's really more of a puzzle game

In text generation, LLM language is full of very emphatic phrases. At a surface level it might sound stronger. But as a human reader, it's not necessarily better

This is a CLI, the example shows the Gemini TUI using it

I mean. If the cost per use of use is only slightly worse with these cheaper goods, you could just view that as a slight premium for the ability to switch styles every few years. It's also a smaller upfront investment, so taking account inflation it might not really be a big difference even considering that?

Clearly most people choose to buy cheaper stuff and producing higher quality, more expensive things makes you a niche company
