San Francisco will offer free childcare to families earning less than $230,000 a year, and a 50% subsidy to those earning up to $310,000, in an expansion of the city’s childcare offerings designed to make one of the world’s most expensive cities more affordable for residents.

“Today marks the beginning of a powerful effort to reduce the cost of living for San Francisco families by tens of thousands of dollars each year,” Lurie said in a press release announcing the subsidies.

In November, New Mexico became the first state in the nation to offer free childcare to all its residents.

Previously, free childcare was available to families earning less than 110% of the area median income.

The Myth of the ThinkPadLenovo does not care about you.

First, let’s ask a question: “How do Thinkpad Laptops make money for Lenovo/IBM?” (this question applies to both companies, and to machines made today, and in the past.

Each time a laptop needs fixed, it costs money, and cuts into the profits IBM/Lenovo make on a service contract.

finally, thinkpads are Cheap…Thinkpads aren’t cheap laptops.

Boeing knew of flaw in part linked to UPS plane crash, US safety board report saysIn an update report , the US National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) revealed that cracks found in the engine mounting assembly had previously occurred on several other aircraft.

At the time the manufacturer responsible for the aircraft, Boeing, concluded that the issue "would not result in a safety of flight condition".

The last MD-11 came off the production line in 2001, but Boeing has continued providing parts and service support.

Radio frequency interference, or RFI, comes not only from satellites orbiting Earth and scattered throughout the solar system, but from radio and TV broadcasts and even microwave ovens.

At the time the world’s largest radio telescope, it was 1,000 feet across and built into a natural sinkhole near Arecibo, Puerto Rico.

Radio signals captured during its astronomical studies were analyzed by millions of volunteers who were part of the SETI@home project.

Hypothesis: Designing the SystemThis kicked off a personal project: designing YouTube’s “most replayed” with the goal of replicating the bug.

Somewhere in the client-side code, there was a mathematical recipe converting those raw intensity scores into elegant \(C^1\) continuous curve data.

To determine the control point for a specific knot (let’s call it curr ), the algorithm doesn’t look at curr in isolation.

Without them, the first and last segments of the video data would have no outer neighbors.

However, a value of 0 would collapse the control points onto the anchors, reverting the shape back to a sharp, jagged linear spline.

Hey all, update on the tldraw policy with regard to contributions.

For the good of the project, we're going to begin automatically closing pull requests from external contributors.

This is a temporary policy until GitHub provides better tools for managing contributions.

An open pull request represents a commitment from maintainers: that the contribution will be reviewed carefully and considered seriously for inclusion.

For now, that means closing first and selectively re-opening pull requests that are actually under consideration, with the expectation that most unsolicited submissions will not be reviewed.

Backing up a bit, until the mid 20th century, measurements of gravitational acceleration came exclusively from observations within the solar system.

Following this line to the present day (the left side of the chart), we get the cosmic microwave background observed today.

But even in the most conservative scenario, this radiation accounts for about 1% of the observed microwave background.

In short, fluctuations in the microwave background (and perhaps the entire microwave background itself) may have nothing to do with the (hypothesized) big bang.

In large companies, speaking up about what you see as a “bad project” is a good thing.

And this gut feeling is the sign to me of a “bad project”, one which you can see in advance of when it’s obvious to everyone.

Manage influence like a bank accountSo if you cannot stop all the bad projects, what do you do?

That way, if the bad project stalls or gets canceled, you can be proactive instead of reactive to the fallout.

Don’t try to gaslight them or “walk the company line” by pretending a bad project is actually good.

The Hessian of tall-skinny networks is easy to invertThis package shows how to multiply the inverse of the Hessian of a deep network with a vector.

If the Hessian-vector product is $H v$ for some fixed vector $v$ , we're interested in solving $H x = v$ for $x$ .

Pearlmutter showed a clever way to compute the Hessian-vector-product for a deep net.

By contrast, the paper and code in this repo shows how to compute the Hessian-inverse-product, the product of the inverse of the Hessian of a deep net with a vector.

Solving this system naively requires a number of operations that scales cubically with the number of parameters in the deep net, which is impractical for most modern networks.

In its latest offshore wind allocation round (AR7), the UK awarded a record 8.4 gigawatts (GW) of offshore wind capacity, making it the largest-ever offshore wind auction in Europe.

In other words, offshore wind from this auction is roughly 40% cheaper than gas and almost 30% cheaper than nuclear.

A highly competitive auctionAR7 was one of the most competitive offshore wind auctions ever held in Europe.

In total, the auction awarded contracts to six bottom‑fixed offshore wind projects and two floating wind projects.

UK Energy Secretary Ed Miliband said, “With these results, Britain is taking back control of our energy sovereignty.

Ease of adoption enabled data collection at scale that in turn helped coding agents improve rapidly.Every developer could switch to Cursor in 5 minutes without any approval.

Hard to adopt products have their own data moat: Once you’re embedded in an enterprise, you learn about how that company works in a way that makes your product incredibly hard to replace.

Whichever quadrant you fall into, data is your only moat.

Integration tests are best testsI'd like to share an unpopular opinion about testing: integration tests are the most important kind of tests: you should strive for excellent integration test coverage and invest relatively little time in unit tests.

Unit tests pass, integration tests fail.

Even though they're easy to write, unit tests can be the most toilsome tests to maintain.

Integration tests are the sweet spot between unit tests and end-to-end tests.

I worked on Android apps for a couple years, and we used Robolectric to write integration tests.

To say it’s merely a language to replace C or C++, it’s a huge understatement.

This is actually an useful feature to debug optimized Zig code without the need of symbols.

A new digit inserted at any empty element, must not already exist in the entire line, column or cell containing the new element.

The key knowledge to understand at this point is that each specific element in the 9x9 grid has a unique line, column and cell that contains this element.

In this article I’ll describe how a server can use a linear rate limit algorithm with HTTP RateLimit headers.

Typically a server will have a relatively small fixed set of rate limit policies, and a large dynamic collection of rate limit states.

This linear rate limit algorithm is a variant of GCRA adapted to use HTTP RateLimit header terminology.

A linear rate limiter indirectly assesses a client’s request rate by relating a request counter to the passage of time.

An exponential rate limiter can be used with HTTP RateLimit headers in a similar manner to a linear rate limiter.

Not every exception deserves its own unit test, though.

Here’s how to use it:from contextlib import nullcontext as does_not_raise import pytest from pytest import raises @ pytest .

parametrize ( [ "x" , "y" , "expectation" ], [ ( 3 , 2 , does_not_raise ()), ( 0 , 1 , does_not_raise ()), ( 1 , 0 , raises ( ZeroDivisionError )), ( 1 , "0" , raises ( TypeError )), ], ) def test_division ( x , y , expectation ): with expectation : x / yThe topic is actually described in the PyTest documentation and it was even raised as a question on StackOverflow but I still feel like it’s pretty obscure knowledge.

We don’t have generative AI features in the product, and we don’t use code generation tools to build it, and we don’t accept contributions we know contain generated material.

TL;DR: AI companies make tools for hurting people and we don’t want to support that.

If you look at what AI companies promote now, it’s not what we wanted.

That’s the problem AI companies want to solve.

The FutureThere’s a comment we see every so often, always phrased as a fait accompli: “you’ll be left behind if you don’t adopt AI”, or its cousin, “everyone is using it”.

While there are many subtler factors to consider, these principles form a foundation that lets you get started building good software.

Reusing Software Lets You Build Good Things QuicklySoftware is easy to copy.

Software Is about Developing Knowledge More than Writing CodeIn software development, most ideas are bad; this is not anyone’s fault.

To build good software, you need to first build bad software, then actively seek out problems to improve on your solution.

Ultimately, while there are infinite intricacies to software development, understanding this process provides a basis to tackle the complexities of how to build good software.

0patch ZDNET's key takeaways 0patch costs about $30 per year for its Pro plan, and includes a free tier that provides zero-day patches.

In early 2023, Microsoft announced that it would end all official support for Windows 10 in 2025, giving users just over two years to migrate to Windows 11.

Many signed up for Microsoft's Windows 10 Extended Security Updates (ESU), a $ 30-per-year plan that delivers official security fixes for the system.

Kolsek told me that using just 0patch Free isn't recommended without also paying for Microsoft's ESU service, since 0patch Free doesn't include the "legacy patches" needed to fully protect Windows 10 22H2.

Cesar Cadenas/ZDNETIt's worth noting that 0patch u…

ZDNET's key takeawaysTwo major state AI laws are in effect as federal AI regulation remains unclear.

But a December executive order and its ensuing task force have renewed attacks on state AI laws.

"Here, there is no federal AI law that would preempt many of the state laws, and Congress has rebuffed prior efforts to add federal AI preemption to past legislation."

"This won't change the day-to-day much, largely because the EU AI Act already requires these disclosures," he explained.

"It shows that AI safety regulation is possible and has political momentum.

With a few quick adjustments, you can easily enhance your experience across gaming, streaming, and even online security.

Conceiving an app's goals and how to get there is the hidden gotcha of AI coding.

The biggest success so far of generative artificial intelligence in the enterprise is AI coding tools that assist programmers.

Most vibe coding work is done in the side panel of these apps, where you type as you would into a ChatGPT prompt.

So, I went next to Microsoft's Visual Studio, which has the built-in GitHub Copilot function that provides chat-based programming just like Cursor and Replit.

I tried prompting Visual Studio Copilot to refine the analysis, but hours of trial-and-error in Visual Studio yielded no improvements.

Yet the iPhone 17 Pro has one big advantage: the camera system.

Yet, from my initial review of the iPhone 17, one thing left me wanting more: the rear camera system.

Despite comparable performance, the iPhone 17 Pro is generally what I have gravitated toward as my daily driver.

This hardware difference limits the standard model to 2x optical zoom and 10x digital zoom, while the Pro model reaches 8x optical and 40x digital zoom.

As you can see, the iPhone 17 Pro reaches much farther without sacrificing detail or sharpness, thanks to its longer telephoto lens.

The latest release, Ganymede, ups the ante on just about every front.

With the latest release, EndeavorOS has a very special trick up its sleeve.

During OS installation, EndeavorOS Ganymede automatically detects the GPU on your system and installs the proper NVIDIA driver.

You get kernel 6.17 (the latest stable release) and the latest version of KDE Plasma (6.5.3).

Speaking of apps, the one area where EndeavorOS Ganymede needs a bit of help is in the package manager GUI area.

It's helpful, but too much cache can slow your iPhone down, so clearing it regularly keeps performance smooth.

Raspberry Pi AI HAT+ 2.

If you're into Raspberry Pi computers and AI, then chances are that you're already using the AI HAT+ that was released back in 2024.

The idea is that this is a low-cost, data-private way to process edge AI workloads without needing to use third-party cloud-based AI services.

The Raspberry Pi AI HAT+ 2 comes with 8GB of onboard RAM and runs AI workloads locally.

Raspberry Pi FoundationThose who have already built projects around the AI HAT+ and want to take advantage of the performance boost that the AI HAT+ 2 has to offer, fear not, because according to Naush Patuck, Senior Principal Engineer at Raspberry Pi, "transitioning to the AI HAT+ 2 is mostly seamless and tra…

Cuktech 10,000mAh wireless power bank ZDNET's key takeaways Cuktech 10,000mAh charger is available on Amazon for $16.99.

The Cuktech 10,000mAh wireless power bank just became the power bank I recommend to anyone who wants one that looks like a much more expensive device, and performs just as well.

There are a few things that I look for in a decent portable power bank.

ZDNET's buying adviceThe Cuktech 10,000mAh wireless power bank is an impressive unit, and that continues to the price.

You can currently pick this up for $17, which is a steal for a power bank with these features.

ZDNET's key takeawaysYou can run a report to check battery health in Windows 11.

Here's how you can check battery health in Windows 11.

If the second number is drastically lower, it means your battery's capacity has significantly decreased since it was new.

A 20% loss in full charge capacity is generally considered grounds for replacement, and you'll likely notice a significant loss in capacity at that point.

This number records how many times you've used 100% of the battery's capacity.

ZDNET's key takeawaysAIs were given work tasks already completed by real people.

Already accomplished by real remote freelance workers, the projects covered game development, product design, architecture, data analysis, and video animation.

To measure how AI automation stacks up against remote work done by human beings, the researchers set up a benchmark called the Remote Labor Index (RLI).

"While AI systems have saturated many existing benchmarks, we find that state-of-the-art AI agents perform near the floor on RLI," the researchers revealed.

"This provides a common basis for tracking the trajectory of AI automation, enabling stakeholders to proactively navigate its impacts."

The startup claims its AI platform can help optimize editorial processes and research.

New York Governor Kathy Hochul is proposing first-of-its-kind legislation that would require 3D printers sold in the state to include built-in software designed to block the printing of gun parts used to make "ghost guns." The plan would also add criminal penalties for making 3D-printed firearms and hold printer owners or manufacturers liable if safety controls aren't in place. 3D Printing Industry reports: "From the iron pipeline to the plastic pipeline, these proposals will keep illegal ghost guns off of New York streets, and enhance measures to track and block the production of dangerous and illegal firearms in our state," Hochul said. In addition to mandating printer-level safeguards an…

An anonymous reader quotes a report from the BBC: Four astronauts evacuated from the International Space Station (ISS) have landed back on Earth after their stay in space was cut short by a month due to a "serious" medical issue. The crew's captain, Nasa astronaut Mike Fincke, exited the spacecraft first, smiling and wobbling slightly on his feet before lying down on a gurney, following normal procedures. Nasa's Zena Cardman, Japan's Kimiya Yui and cosmonaut Oleg Platonov followed, waving and beaming at cameras. "It's so good to be home!", said Cardman. It is the first time astronauts have been evacuated due to a health issue since the station was put into Earth's orbit in 1998. The team, k…

Reports suggest ASUS has effectively ended production of NVIDIA's RTX 5070 Ti and 5060 Ti 16GB GPUs due to a severe memory crunch driven by AI infrastructure demand, even as NVIDIA insists it's still shipping all GeForce SKUs. YouTube channel Hardware Unboxed broke the news in its most recent video where it states ASUS "explicitly" told them the RTX 5070 Ti is "currently facing a supply shortage" and has "placed the model into end of life status." The shift leaves PC gamers facing fewer high-VRAM options just as modern games increasingly demand more than 8GB. Engadget reports: Hardware Unboxed also spoke to retailers in Australia, who told the channel the 5070 Ti is "no longer available to …

The opposition 5-Star Movement said the agency's credibility had been undermined and called for Stanzione to resign.…

An anonymous reader quotes a report from Bloomberg: Oracle is trying -- and sometimes struggling -- to attract workers to Nashville, where it is developing a massive riverfront headquarters.

The company is hiring for more roles in Nashville than any other US city, with a special focus on jobs in its crucial cloud infrastructure unit. Oracle cloud workers based elsewhere say they've been offered tens of thousands of dollars in incentives to move. Chairman Larry Ellison made a splash in April 2024 when he said Oracle would make Nashville its "world headquarters" just a few years after moving the software company from Redwood City, California, to Austin. His proclamation followed a 2021 tax in…

The National Transportation Safety Board said in a report this week that a UPS cargo plane that crashed in Louisville, Ky., last year, killing 15, had a structural flaw that the manufacturer Boeing had previously concluded would not affect flight safety. The New York Times: The N.T.S.B. has said that cracks in the assembly holding the left-side engine in place may have contributed to the November crash, though it has not officially cited a cause. The part had fractured in similar fashion on at least four other occasions, on three different airplanes, according to the report, which cited a service letter that Boeing issued in 2011 regarding the apparent flaw. In the service letter, which man…

Go, the ancient board game that China, Japan and South Korea all claim as part of their cultural heritage, is struggling to expand its global footprint because the three nations that dominate it cannot agree on something as basic as a common rulebook. When Go was registered with the International Mind Sports Association alongside chess and bridge, organizers had to adopt the American Go Association's rules because the East Asian trio failed to reach consensus. In 2025, China's Ke Jie withdrew from a title match at a Seoul tournament after receiving repeated penalties for violating a rule that the South Korean Go association had introduced mid-tournament. China's Go association responded by …

Many people who stop using weight loss drugs will return to their previous weight within two years, a new review of existing research has found. CNN adds: This rate of weight regain is significantly faster than that seen in those who have lost weight by changing other lifestyle factors, such as diet and exercise, rather than relying on GLP-1 medications, researchers from the University of Oxford report in a paper published Wednesday in The BMJ journal. GLP-1, which stands for glucagon-like peptide-1, is a hormone naturally made by the body that helps signal to the brain and the gut that it's full and doesn't need to eat any more. Weight loss drugs mimic the action of this hormone by increas…

trying to test my Hasher class which hashes nested data. I couldn’t get

Hypothesis to generate usable data for my test. I wanted to assert that two

equal data items would hash equally, but Hypothesis was finding pairs like

[0] and [False]. These are equal but hash differently because the

hash takes the types into account.In the blog post I said,If I had a schema for the data I would be comparing, I could use it to

steer Hypothesis to generate realistic data. But I don’t have that

schema...I don’t want a fixed schema for the data Hasher would accept, but tests to

compare data generated from the same schema. It shouldn’t compare a list o…

In coverage.py, I have a class for computing the fingerprint of a data

structure. It’s used to avoid doing duplicate work when re-processing the same

data won’t add to the outcome. It’s designed to work for nested data, and to

canonicalize things like set ordering. The slightly simplified code looks like

this:class Hasher: """Hashes Python data for fingerprinting.""" def __init__(self) -> None: self.hash = hashlib.new("sha3_256") def update(self, v: Any) -> None: """Add `v` to the hash, recursively if needed.""" self.hash.update(str(type(v)).encode("utf-8")) match v: case None: pass case str(): self.hash.update(v.encode("utf-8")) case bytes(): self.hash.update(v) case int() | float(): self.…

Netflix is driving the Hollywood end game, likely confident it can increase the value of IP, and fend off YouTube.

OpenAI and Nvidia are both under threat from Google; I like OpenAI's chances best, but they need an advertising model to beat Google as an Aggregator.

In Why your mock doesn’t work I explained this rule of

mocking:Mock where the object is used, not where it’s

defined.That blog post explained why that rule was important: often a mock doesn’t

work at all if you do it wrong. But in some cases, the mock will work even if

you don’t follow this rule, and then it can break much later. Why?Let’s say you have code like this:# user.py def get_user_settings(): with open(Path("~/settings.json").expanduser()) as f: return json.load(f) def add_two_settings(): settings = get_user_settings() return settings["opt1"] + settings["opt2"] You write a simple test:def test_add_two_settings(): # NOTE: need to create ~/settings.json for this to work: # {"opt1": 1…

It’s been a busy, bumpy week with coverage.py. Some things did not go

smoothly, and I didn’t handle everything as well as I could have.It started with trying to fix issue 2064 about

conflicts between the “sysmon” measurement core and a concurrency setting.To measure your code, coverage.py needs to know what code got executed. To

know that, it collects execution events from the Python interpreter. CPython now

has two mechanisms for this: trace functions and sys.monitoring. Coverage.py

has two implementations of a trace function (in C and in Python), and an

implementation of a sys.monitoring listener. These three components are the

measurement cores, known as “ctrace”, “pytrace”, and “sysmon”…

often messy, and asked about how to make it nicer.I pointed out that for software engineers, the code is the product. For

research, the results are the product, so there’s a reason the code can be and

often is messier. It’s important to keep the goal in mind. I mentioned it might

not be worth it to add type annotations, detailed docstrings, or whatever else

would make the code “nice”.But the more you can make “nice” a habit, …
