That's good to know, thank you. Mine is a Subaru Outback, a very common model here in Utah.

I've noticed this myself. Not being pulled over, but being followed.

When I just came to the US, I got my car and started exploring Utah a lot. Just picking a random spot on a map and going there. Beautiful countryside.

There were several occasions when a police vehicle showed up right after I parked, made a circle around me and disappeared.

One time their cruiser parked 30 feet away and they were watching me. I had a slice of pizza with me, so I rolled down a window and let them watch me eating. They drove away after a few minutes.

Also, driving 60 miles one way to a lake for a swim once or twice a week is suspicious, apparently. And I was doing it even when the water was in 40s. One time K9 parked right next to me. Idk if they searched my car or not, but their drone followed me on a trail back and forth for over 5 minutes. And when I came back, they were packing up and leaving.

Never saw them during moonless nights when I was stargazing in the middle of nowhere or sleeping in my car on the side of a road. Fun times.

Internet points are real and carry weight. Online friends are real, too.

The Chime team is still busy. They released a new version just two weeks ago!

It had good departure times both mornings and evenings.

And it was cheap, so you could book a next day flight without paying multiples in premium.

It was fun and affordable to fly out of state in the morning, spend a day exploring another place and get back at night.

Thank you for letting me know. I should definitely catch up on current state of affairs.

The US has stepped into a huge pile of shit in this round. And instead of getting out fast, they just want to jump dive into it.

Some American people don't know that US misfortunes are celebrated elsewhere. 911 became a holiday in some regions. And if American empire falls down, I feel like at least half of the world gonna celebrate that.

Azure is when you have a different version of the same product/api in each region.

It's a nice read. Thank you for sharing this.

> Microsoft, meanwhile, conducted major layoffs—approximately 15,000 roles across waves in May and July 2025 —most likely to compensate for the immediate losses to CoreWeave ahead of the next earnings calls.

This is what people should know when seeing massive layoffs due to AI.

HN is like an art gallery full of critics. You can be interested in some works or people, even romanticize it. But no one really cares about a gallery or industry in general. We are all just entertaining each other here.

I'm using gemini.google.com/app with AI Pro subscription. "Something went wrong" in FF, works in Chrome.

Below is one of my test prompts that previous Gemini models were failing. 3.1 Pro did a decent job this time.

> use c++, sdl3. use SDL_AppInit, SDL_AppEvent, SDL_AppIterate callback functions. use SDL_main instead of the default main function. make a basic hello world app.

I worked at a countertop shop and used a sliding rule a bit. But I also used a sticky paper with marks to get measurements off my screen. A lot of blueprints provide no dimensions for cabinets and desks.

Countertops is an industry with all the modern tools but 5000yo approach.
