Where This Story Begins In 2022, we had three different query interfaces. Logs had a custom search syntax with no autocomplete. Traces only had predefined filters - no query builder at all. Metrics had a raw PromQL input box where you'd paste queries from somewhere else and hope they worked. Each system spoke a different language. An engineer debugging a production issue had to context-switch not just between data types, but between entirely different mental models of how to query data. When

Will AI be the basis of many future industrial fortunes, or a net loser?

Fortunes are made by entrepreneurs and investors when revolutionary technologies enable waves of innovative, investable companies. Think of the railroad, the Bessemer process, electric power, the internal combustion engine, or the microprocessor—each of which, like a stray spark in a fireworks factory, set off decades of follow-on innovations, permeated every part of society, and catapulted a new set of inventors and investors into power, influence, and wealth.

Living at high altitude reduces risk of dying from heart disease: Low oxygen may spur genes to create blood vessels.

Myocardial infarction may be an infectious disease

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-02 15:55:42

According to the recently published research, an infection may trigger myocardial infarction. Using a range of advanced methodologies, the research found that, in coronary artery disease, atherosclerotic plaques containing cholesterol may harbour a gelatinous, asymptomatic biofilm formed by bacteria over years or even decades. Dormant bacteria within the biofilm remain shielded from both the patient’s immune system and antibiotics because they cannot penetrate the biofilm matrix. A viral infect

Safe C++ proposal is not being continued

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-02 18:00:29

One year ago, the Safe C++ proposal was made. The goal was to add a safe subset/context into C++ that would give strong guarantees (memory safety, type safety, thread safety) similar to what Rust provides, without breaking existing C++ code. It was an extension or superset of C++. The opt-in mechanism was to explicitly mark parts of the code that belong to the safe context. The authors even state: Code in the safe context exhibits the same strong safety guarantees as code written in Rust. The

Now he’ll have a second shot—this time with at least part of the tech industry giving him the green light.
