The UK is also opening investigations into the Esptein stuff.

https://www.reuters.com/world/uk/starmers-government-aids-po...

Unlike the US administration which seems to be fine with what epstein and X are doing


Except Starmer is making sure that the "investigation" is hobbled - anything seemed important to "national security" will be excluded!

The UK's "investigation" is a farce.

What's this comment about? Do you think no other CSAM distribution should be investigated until the stuff in Epstein files is sorted?

Car manufacturers are required to add features to make it less likely that cars kill babies.

What would happen if Volvo made a special baby-killing model with extra spikes?


Tesla did, the main reason, why there are no Cybertrucks in europe. They are not allowed, because they are to dangerous.

Comparing Apples and Oranges. Defending this company is becoming cringe and ridiculous. X effed up, and Musk did it on purpose. He uses CSAM to strongman the boundaries of the law. That's not worth defending unless you also say eff the rule of law.

Aren't a lot of US pickup trucks basically that? Sure, maybe there's a mechanism for preventing you from installing a baby seat in reverse to position in front of an airbag, but they're also built so that you can't see anything adult human sized 15m in front of the car, let alone anything child-sized.

Those are illegal in France so what's your point here

The US would spend 20 years arguing about which agency's jurisdiction it was, and ignore the dead babies?

No, wait, Volvo is European. They'd impose a 300% tariff and direct anyone who wanted a baby-killing model car to buy one from US manufacturers instead.


For that there’s openscad

Breaks down for complex parts with lots of repeated operations, suffers from floating point rounding errors. No constraint solver.

Usually when one needs constraints one can code it up as a recursive function.

That’s certainly not the case for most situations where a constraint solver is useful

Worked for the one time I needed it, and it seems to be a frequently used technique for folks using OpenSCAD.

Curious if something different could be achieved using Python....


I've even already asked an LLM to generate designs in openscad, and there's plenty of examples out there. Obviously there's a complexity limit, but there's also a cheat sheet that makes it pretty easy to discover how to do almost anything that's possible within.

And all the people that died because of him, is that intended?

Who are all the people? Unfortunately for Trump, he doesn't control every trigger that gets pulled but now we are seeing de-escalation.

How about these people? https://hsph.harvard.edu/news/usaid-shutdown-has-led-to-hund...

After the previous public execution by ICE, Stephen Miller said they have federal immunity (which is a lie), and it led us to where we are now.

Trump is responsible for hiring these idiots.

More context: the video speaks about Oracle and TikTok has been bought by an investor group headed by Oracle's Larry Ellison (which the article also references).

Isn't brake pollution a lot less with EVs?

The theory is that they're heavier so more brake dust ... but that is offset to a degree by regen braking (which hybrids have too). It's a silly argument though. Brake dust is definitely bad but the idea of keeping ICE cars to minimize brake dust doesn't stand up to scrutiny.

sounds like an LLM :)

I moderate an airline subreddit, and it's interesting that many of the lazy or entitled-sounding questions (e.g. "can I get compensation for this?") come from people flying to/from Indian cities.


Honestly that's just the massive population talking. There really isn't a "Hindi web" for India unlike for the Chinese, so we all come to roost in the WWW. Hence you'll get bad questions like these but you'll also get YouTube videos on obscure engineering and science topics, which I think is a fair deal.

The Chinese web is on similar lines, although there is a lot more country bashing, especially against Indians and Americans. But nevertheless just the same.

At least none of these come nowhere near to the brainrot that is the Arabic web.


India is maybe 10% of the English speakers on earth.

It's not the population size that's talking.


1 billion internet users, some of whom may have an inkling of how to speak in English.

My father's former property groundskeeper, a daily wage labourer, could speak poor English but he could string a few words together and understand the basic gist of a Hollywood movie, even without much of an English education. Imagine 100s of millions of those people and there's your answer.


I've done a similar fix, even a bit more interesting, however I wouldn't consider it worthy of writing a blog post, not to mention submitting it to HN.


Is there anything inaccurate in the above comment?


AGCOM and cloudflare ceo can all be wrong and horrible at the same time. You don't have to pick a side
