Police arrested more than a dozen New York state and city elected officials Thursday at 26 Federal Plaza, the Manhattan immigration court and an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) field office, many as they pressed to gain access to the building’s 10th-floor lockup, where recent court rulings—including a temporary restraining order—directed ICE not to cram immigrants into overcrowded, unsanitary conditions. The lawmakers and other officials, arrested around 3:45 pm local time, say they w

Ford and the Birth of the Model T

news.ycombinator.com Brian Potter 2025-10-21 17:52:48

This is an excerpt from my forthcoming book, The Origins of Efficiency, out September 23rd. Ford’s status as a large-volume car producer began with the predecessor to the Model T: the Model N, a four-cylinder, two-seater car initially priced at $500. At the time, the average car in the US cost more than $2,000, and it seemed nearly unimaginable that a car with the capabilities of the Model N could cost so little. In 1906, the year the Model N was introduced, Ford sold 8,500 of them, making the

In a market that is becoming increasingly more crowded (for the better, as getting more people on bikes is good for all of us), Seattle-based Rad Power Bikes has planted its flag as a brand that offers the fun and utility of an ebike at a lower cost than its competitors, thanks in large part to its direct-to-consumer model. What started as a single-product brand quickly grew into what it is today: North America’s largest ebike manufacturer, with a line that includes off-road bikes, cargo bikes,

Go Assembly Mutation Testing

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-12-20 00:23:17

While maintaining and developing the Go cryptography standard library, we often spend significantly more time on testing than on implementation. That’s good and an important part of how we achieve our excellent security track record. Ideally, this would be especially true for the least safe parts of the library. However, testing assembly cores presents unique challenges, due to their constant-time nature. This has been a long-standing issue. For Go 1.26, I am working on introducing a mutation

WEBASSEMBLY (WASM) In order to provide both security and portability, it was decided to move away from add-ons distributed as DLL s in favour of add-ons distributed as WebAssembly modules. In order to do so without requiring a full rewrite of existing add-ons, a new platform toolset was designed for Visual Studio with the following capabilities: Direct compilation of C/C++ projects into WebAssembly (as WASM).

FFmpeg devs boast of another 100x leap thanks to handwritten assembly code

The developers behind the FFmpeg project are again claiming major performance uplifts delivered by wielding the art of handwritten assembly code. With the latest patch applied, users should see a “100x speedup” in the cross-platform open-source media transcoding application. However, the developers were soon to clarify that the 100x claim applies to just a single function, “not the whole of FFmpeg.” BREAKING: FFmpeg 100x speedup from handwritten assembly13:55:30 <•haasn> rangedetect8_avx512: 12

The Moving Assembly Line Turns 100 (2013)

news.ycombinator.com Austin Weber 2026-01-22 15:23:34

This month marks the official celebration of the world’s first moving assembly line. On Oct. 7, 1913, 140 assemblers stationed along a 150-foot chassis line at a Ford Motor Co. plant just north of Detroit stood in place as the work came to them. With the aid of three-wheeled dollies, chassis were pushed by hand along parallel rails embedded in the floor of the Highland Park plant. Six months earlier, Ford engineers had experimented with a movable line for assembling flywheel magnetos, a key com

Mandelbrot in x86 Assembly by Claude

Mandelbrot in x86 assembly by Claude. Inspired by a tweet asking if Claude knew x86 assembly, I decided to run a bit of an experiment. I prompted Claude Sonnet 4: Write me an ascii art mandelbrot fractal generator in x86 assembly And got back code that looked... like assembly code I guess? So I copied some jargon out of that response and asked: I have some code written for x86-64 assembly using NASM syntax, targeting Linux (using system calls for output). How can I run that on my Mac?

Assembly Theory of Time

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-03-02 05:41:02

If the lineages are followed back beyond the origin of life on Earth to the origin of the universe, it would be logical to assume that the memory of the universe was lower in the past, which means that the universe's ability to generate objects of high Assembly is limited by its size in time. Some objects are too large in time to come into existence in intervals that are smaller than their assembly index. For complex objects such as computers to exist in our universe, many other objects had to f
